Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Yu Dongqing explained to him what he should pay attention to when singing this song, and then asked him to practice well.

Today is December 31st, and tomorrow is New Year's Day. Shili Peach Blossom Bistro is holding a New Year's Eve concert.

The protagonist is naturally the Qingmanglu Band.

In fact, there was no concert at all. It was just a whim of Yu Dongqing and others who suddenly wanted to have fun and sing together.

After participating in the Xi'an University Student Music Festival in mid-September, we have not sung together. New Year's Day is coming soon, so we are all happy together.

After hearing the news, Luo Yun immediately suggested that the studio should carry out the planning and conduct it in the form of a commercial performance.

In her words, since many TV stations have invited you to attend New Year's Day parties and you have refused, then we might as well hold one ourselves.

But Yu Dongqing disagreed.

Just a few buddies want to hang out together and increase the popularity of Liu Yimin's tavern. Why do they do it so formally?

Do we still need to charge tickets?

Besides, it's such a small place and can't hold a hundred people. How much can I earn from the tickets?

The scalpers are probably the ones who make the most money in the end, right?

What if there are too many people who come and can’t sit down when you go out to promote it? We can't let fans stand on the street and listen to music in the northwest wind, right?

There is no need for publicity or planning, just ask Liu Yimin to write a simple sentence on the sign at the door of the tavern one day in advance.

"The Qingmanglu Band will celebrate the New Year with everyone tomorrow night."

But despite this, when Yu Dongqing was having dinner at her father-in-law's house in the evening, she received a call from Liu Yimin asking if the fans requested that our concert be advanced?

"Eight o'clock, not too late, right?" Yu Dongqing said.

"At four o'clock in the afternoon, the tavern was full." Liu Yimin replied on the phone.

Ah?

so much?

"I don't care. Just ask Zhang Yang and Du Hui, especially Du Hui. His wife has a big belly and needs someone to take care of her." Yu Dongqing replied.

"Okay, I'll call them and ask them."

Yu Dongqing hung up the phone, and Meili, who was sitting next to her while eating, put down her chopsticks and asked, "Brother-in-law, aren't you going to watch Zhang Bao's game tonight?"

Mingliang also knew that there was Zhang Bao, a student of her brother-in-law's classmate, who was currently working as a waiter in Liu Yimin's tavern.

She is very good at singing, especially singing their Qinbei folk songs. She came to Yanjing just to participate in the "Starlight Singing" variety show. She has passed all the way and will participate in the annual championship finals tonight.

For this reason, Yu Dongqing even wrote a northwest-style song called "Xintianyou" specifically for him, which shows that he attaches great importance to this competition.

Unexpectedly, he went to the pub to sing with some buddies tonight.

Yu Dongqing laughed after hearing this: "I won't go. I'm not a judge. There is no difference whether I watch or not. The key lies in his performance on the spot, but I think he performed well."

After saying this, Yu Dongqing added: "This is not just my opinion, Zhang Yang and the others all think so."

Yu Dongqing was full of confidence at this time, but Feng Pei, who was thousands of miles away, was not so calm.

When he returned to his home in the county town today, he never watched any variety shows, so he turned on the TV early and switched to the CCTV variety show.

He wants to see his students' on-the-spot performance.

He would never be able to realize his musical dream in this life, so he placed his hope on himself as a student.

Zhang Bao will sing three songs in the finals, "Shandandan is blooming red", "Walking to the West Exit" and the song "Xintianyou".

Not only him, his wife Meng Jiayan and daughter Xiaoxuan also watched the show.

"Is this your student Zhang Bao?" Meng Jiayan looked at a young man on TV wearing traditional Qinbei clothes - a white sheep's belly handkerchief on his head and a bare old sheepskin jacket.

Feng Pei nodded and said excitedly: "How do you feel? You look good in this outfit, don't you?"

Meng Jiayan curled her lips: "Old-fashioned."

Feng Pei smiled and did not refute.

However, her daughter Xiaoxuan defended her father's injustice: "Mom, I think our traditional ethnic costumes are very beautiful. The book says that what is national is what belongs to the world. Moreover, it is now popular for girls in our school to wear Hanfu."

Ah?

Seeing her daughter's serious look, Meng Jiayan laughed: "I don't know what's wrong with today's children? They are very interested in the clothes of their ancestors."

"This is called national self-confidence." Feng Pei replied: "Okay, let's not talk anymore, the game has begun."

The performance at Shili Peach Blossom Bistro was also held in a warm atmosphere.

There was no excessive opening remarks or any sensationalism. The four men just sat on the singing stage and sang casually.

"For You", "Baqiao", "Rukawa Kaede and Kurai Sora", as well as "Old Boy" and "The Story of Time" that were sung earlier.

Recall the lost youth in singing.

In addition to Yu Dongqing's performance, there were also fans who volunteered to come up and sing during the performance. Yu Dongqing also smiled and left the microphone to them while he rested on the side.

Luo Yun also came to the tavern, sitting on a high stool at the bar and drinking a cocktail. She said that she was going home alone anyway, so she might as well come here to join in the fun.

Seeing Yu Dongqing coming to the bar to drink water and rest, Luo Yun said to him: "What a pity, what a pity."

"What's a pity?"

Luo Yun looked at the packed tavern and said, "If this is a commercial performance, put it in live houses such as Starlight Live, MAO LIVE HOUSE, and Ma Qiao Washe. Do you know how much revenue this night will bring?"

"Let's take the average price of a mainstream band. A ticket costs 200 yuan. If the Starlight Live can accommodate 1,200 people, that means the tickets can be sold for 240,000 yuan! Throw away all costs and earn 100,000 yuan in one night. Eighty thousand should be no problem, right? Look at Zhao Yawen, there is a business performance tonight."

It turns out that Zhao Yawen's popularity has greatly increased since she started live broadcasting, especially when she sang the theme song "Chi Ling" for Lu Yongru's TV series "Once Upon a Time in the Republic of China". Under Luo Yun's operation, she was invited to participate in the New Year's Day event held by Gansu TV Station this year. She had flown to Lanzhou yesterday to sing the song "Chi Ling" at the New Year Party.

Although the influence of Gansu TV stations is far less than that of Zhejiang and Hunan TV stations, it is still a provincial TV station.

Zhao Yawen took the first step successfully, and for this purpose she even hired an assistant to accompany her.

Yu Dongqing listened to Luo Yun's words and said with a smile: "I think it's good like this now, free and easy. Since it's a commercial performance, it has to be rehearsed carefully to be worthy of the audience who paid for the tickets. It's too troublesome."

"Like now, I can sing when I want to and take a rest if I don't want to. It's pretty good." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"You really don't want to open the concert?" Luo Yun asked again.

"Let's talk about it later." Yu Dongqing couldn't comment.

"Okay, don't talk about this problem, Zhang Bao, how are you going to deal with it?" Luo Yun asked again.

"How to deal with what?"
