Chapter 171 Scarborough Market
Near ten o'clock, they arrived outside a bustling pedestrian street.
You can see the crowd gathering inside from afar.
Many people hurriedly walked inside with various musical instruments on their backs, as if they wanted to occupy a good place.
Speaking of which, the music show really started in the afternoon.
At that time, the singers and bands of performances were gradually in place, and tourists also accumulated some like coupons in their hands. This was the time when everyone started to show.
Yu Hai carried the Satar he bought before, and the little girl didn't know how to play musical instruments, so Uncle Mo, the owner of the instrument store, carried a guitar and brought a small speaker to help her.
Coupled with the live broadcast balls that kept flying around, the group looked really an artist.
Except for the main stage that will only be opened at night, there is no other amplifier equipment on the entire pedestrian street. The singers who come here will bring some of them themselves. Of course, some singers come with a loudspeaker.
That's right, it's just so casual.
If you want to perform, it doesn’t matter if you hold your instrument or sing directly without the instrument, as long as you are confident enough.
Then you can find a place to start and avoid other performers. Of course, if you want to fight with others, the people who eat melons also love to watch it.
For example, Yu Hai and others followed the crowd and saw two rappers wearing sunglasses holding a trumpet and spraying each other.
There were several circles of people around.
The scene is like watching an orangutan fight for mating rights.
Strange, funny, hard to understand!
However, from the like coupons placed in the boxes on the ground, it can be seen that many people have been shown by this operation.
After listening for a while, Yu Hai felt like two people were quarreling and left decisively.
After walking along the crowd for a while, he asked the girl beside him: "How are you going to start?"
The girl looked at everything in front of her in a daze. Compared to the small square in Guquan Town before, there were more than dozens of times more people here.
This made her feel helpless and nervous.
She looked at the owner of the musical instrument shop who was accompanying her next to her, and the other party patted his shoulder with encouragement.
Diao Yueling calmed down and said calmly: "I want to find a seat first to get enough like coupons, and then go to the main stage tonight."
Not everyone can get up at the main stage on Fountain Square in the center of the pedestrian street.
Only those who get enough like coupons during the day can use the equipment here to perform at night.
Diao Yueling and Uncle Mo found a place near the flower bed on the street to place the things, and soon got into the state.
She did not sing the song given by Yu Hai from the beginning. This song was her killer move. Diao Yueling was about to sing on the main stage at night, so that it would give people enough shock.
Soon, audiences began to stop around her.
Seeing that she was adapting well, Yu Hai was relieved and prepared to go shopping in another place.
As for Huang Qing, at the request of her live broadcast room friend, she stayed with the battle rapper to watch how the two decided the winner.
The pedestrian street, which is nearly two kilometers long, can be seen from a high altitude. It is actually an elliptical area built around the central fountain square, with the widest part in the middle being 100 meters wide.
So even if hundreds of thousands of people gather here every day, it doesn’t seem crowded.
The shops here sell a variety of goods, including snack squares that bring together local delicacies, large shopping malls where all kinds of luxury goods gather, and various souvenir shops. They really have everything to ensure that tourists' wallets are squeezed dry.
Yu Hai wandered around for a while, wondering if he wanted to buy some souvenirs for Tang Chen Wenren and the others.
However, considering that I was too tired to take a plane with a big bag and I could actually buy many things in the morning, I felt that it was unnecessary.
But if he sees something in need, he will buy it.
For example, he bought a few wrist guards embroidered with exquisite patterns and a coat at a luxury store, and got a bunch of like coupons.
When I went back, I greeted Huang Qing and others and found a very clean tea restaurant for lunch. I could also hear the singers of folk singers two meters away while sitting on the street. The lyrics were a little literary and artistic, which was a good pastime.
These performers could not perform all day without stopping. Diao Yueling also understood this truth, so she obediently and was preparing to continue working hard in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Yu Hai continued to wander around alone. Occasionally, he would stop and listen to the performance with interest. If he thought it was good, he would give him a few like coupons.
He especially likes a band with all members of middle-aged people, and the band is called Chenai.
The four uncles were wearing beer belly and hats, and they couldn't tell whether their heads were bald, but they played the instrument very smoothly.
Their songs are very heroic and are in local language. Yu Hai doesn't understand them very much, but they should have written them themselves. There are many people around them circling around them, just like attending a bonfire party.
Seeing Yu Hai giving a coupon of likes, the band's lead singer was so happy that she wanted to pull Yu Hai together, but unfortunately she was rejected.
Not all singers or bands who come here are unknown.
Yu Hai discovered that some tourists even came to the city for several bands or a singer.
Judging from Yu Hai's appreciation ability, several groups of people with fans will indeed be one-line higher than others. Some of them are not even worse than many famous singers, whether in their works or singing skills.
They just missed some chances to become popular.
It seems that it is not easy for Miss Diao Yueling to stand out from these people!
However, Yu Hai was not too worried.
Nothing else, he has confidence in the songs he provides.
If the girl does not make mistakes, this wave will directly sweep the entire audience.
At around 3:00 p.m., Diao Yueling collected the like coupons to go on the main stage and found a place to rest with Yu Hai, and adjusted her condition to meet the test of the evening.
During this period, in order to relax her, Huang Qing took her to take a good walk in the pedestrian street.
The result was very helpless, it actually played a counterproductive role.
After seeing the powerful strength of some opponents, Diao Yueling gradually began to panic.
After all, she is just a minor girl who grew up in a small village.
Apart from the small town band she worked with before, she actually didn't have much chance to see good live music.
Suddenly seeing the gap between herself and a mature musician, the girl's original confidence was also hit hard.
A day ago, she was able to find Yu Hai's confidence in trying to make a fuss on this music show, which was more or less due to her shallow cognition and pitiful insight.
If time goes back, Diao Yueling feels that she has absolutely no confidence to agree to the agreement with Yu Hai with confidence.
It’s not that the works Yu Hai gave her are not good enough.
But the little girl has no confidence in her singing skills.
In fact, in the little girl's own feelings, the work she has in her hand can crush everything to any mature singer.
She was afraid that she would let the song down.
The quality of the works is so good that it puts her great pressure.
As night came, Yu Hai could see the girl's inner conflicts and anxiety.
But he was not going to say anything. If he could not overcome such fear, the little girl's path as a singer would not go far.
Starting at six o'clock in the evening, the lights on the Fountain Square began to flash, and Yu Hai and others could hear the music from there from a distance.
The performers have begun to be projected on the huge display screen on the street.
The main course of the music show has been served.
Tourists are flowing slowly, but the overall direction is still moving towards the center of the pedestrian street.
The scene of a drone flying from afar shows that the black head was divided into four fountain platforms gathering towards the middle fountain platform.
The security guards and police officers who maintained order on the scene were under great pressure.
"We, wait a little longer!"
The little girl looked at the crowd staring at the performances on the stage with a little timid look.
"good!"
Huang Qing patted her shoulder: "The most important thing is to put it in the end. I think you are very good at the finale!"
The little girl smiled pale and said nothing, feeling that her throat was dry.
The four of them watched a pair of performers appear in the crowd, including individuals, groups, professionals, and unprofessionals.
Maybe they have other identities besides musicians, such as students and migrant workers, but tonight, they are stars that have attracted much attention.
Influenced by the atmosphere on the scene, as long as you dare to take the stage, the audience will never sting with applause and the like coupons in their hands, and cheers are like waves, one after another.
More than two hours passed in a blink of an eye. A tired audience walked out of the crowd, and a new person immediately added.
There were endless coming and going, and the singers on the stage only felt that the shouts from the audience seemed to be completely tireless. Someone sang several songs in a row before he stepped down reluctantly.
The audience in Huang Qing’s live broadcast room also reached the highest peak since she started her career, with more than 100,000 people watching online.
Some people watched the excitement with great enthusiasm, while more people were waiting for the works of the mysterious composer mentioned in the title.
