Chapter 39 Performance in the tavern
The four people appeared, and the customers in the bar immediately started talking.
"Hey, the boss actually performed on stage himself?"
"You don't know? This is their band back then, what's it called Qingmanglu Band!"
"Hey, who is that handsome old man standing in the C position in the middle? Does he look familiar?" A girl with a ponytail asked her companion quietly.
"I think I remember it! His name is Yu Dongqing! He was popular for a while more than ten years ago, but he disappeared soon."
"Yes, I remember that I was only in the sixth grade of elementary school at that time, and I bought a poster of him to put on the wall! Hey, he is still so handsome after all these years! But did you hear that his voice is broken? How can he still sing?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's because you don't want to be lonely?" His companion curled his lips.
"No, I don't care if he sings well or not, as long as he has good looks. This man is getting more and more attractive as he gets older!" The girl with the ponytail immediately cheered up.
"Then you are going to send flowers and ask for autographs?" said the companion.
"Absolutely!"
While the two girls were discussing quietly, Zhang Yang walked to the front desk with a bass on his shoulder and said loudly with a microphone.
"Dear friends, we buddies are standing here today for a special performance to celebrate the 18th anniversary of the founding of our Qingmanglu band. We haven't sang for many years, just to have fun. Don't scold me if I sing poorly. Don't ask for anything if I sing well. Sign autographs and send flowers, come here to sit and drink more!”
There was laughter all around.
"Now, we present our new song "Love Song 1980"! Thank you everyone!"
Before the surrounding customers could react, drums sounded, followed by guitar and bass. After the prelude, Yu Dongqing's hoarse voice came:
you once said to me
You love me forever
I understand love
but always what
Girl, don't cry
We are still together
Today's joy will be tomorrow's eternal memory
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Today's joy will be tomorrow's eternal memory
"Wow, it sounds so good. I didn't expect his broken voice to sing so beautifully! I love it." The girl with the ponytail looked infatuated.
Her companion was also calm: "Did he write this song? It's not bad. If he can maintain this state, he can really make a comeback."
The two were discussing in low voices, and the melody on the stage sounded again, this time it was "Love Song 1990"
Black eyes and your smiling face
It’s hard to forget the change in your appearance no matter what
Maybe the sun will set tomorrow and the tired bird will have returned
You will have embarked on the journey back to the old days
It is rare in life to find a partner who knows each other again
Life will never leave the blue sky
"It's so affectionate. Who is this song written for? Is it for his wife? His wife is so happy!" The girl with the ponytail couldn't help but whisper to her companion.
"I heard that his wife seemed to have passed away," the companion said.
"ah?!"
"No wonder the lyrics are a bit sad. It's so pitiful." The girl with the ponytail immediately sympathized.
"What? Do you have an idea? Want to be someone else's girlfriend?" The companion hugged the ponytail girl and whispered a joke in her ear.
The girl with the ponytail suddenly felt her face getting hot. She bit her lip and looked at Yu Dongqing who was singing on the stage and said suddenly.
"If...if this is really possible, I would!"
"Huh? Is Xiaoni Zichun excited? After he finishes singing, I will find an opportunity to introduce you to my best friend Juanjuan, who likes you. She is a good girl. She is beautiful and she is Hee hee."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just talking casually." The girl with the ponytail couldn't help but pinch her companion's waist, and the two of them were joking in a low voice.
Meili was also sitting in the tavern with Yu Tongtong in her arms, looking at Yu Dongqing's eyes sparkling.
Although I had heard Yu Dongqing sing this song at home, it was completely different when I heard it again.
It’s been a long time since I saw my brother-in-law singing on stage.
That was still 10 years ago, right?
I am still a little girl and I don’t understand anything.
No wonder my sister wants to be with him wholeheartedly. The way she is now, she would do the same thing if it were her.
Bright's heart suddenly beat faster and faster.
Yu Dongqing and the others started with two love songs. In fact, many people heard this song while drinking and singing in the courtyard of the tavern that night. Some people were present and hoped to hear it again.
After practicing this time, the effect of having a band accompaniment is much better than last time!
Warm applause suddenly erupted from the bar.
"Wish", "Summer" and "Her and Me".
Yu Dongqing then sang the songs he had written before. Although they were greener than this one, they were full of feelings and memories.
The atmosphere in the tavern was lively.
At half-past nine, Yu Dongqing and the others came to the bar to drink ice water.
"I haven't sung like this for a long time. It's really great! Let's organize it more often when we have time!" Zhang Yang said.
Yu Dongqing smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Mingliang pulled Yu Tongtong over and asked, "Brother-in-law, you sang so beautifully. I also took a video and I will post it to Station B after post-processing!"
"Why not, Mingliang, you can come and sing a song too." Zhang Yang suddenly said.
"Can I do that?" Meili, who had always been generous, suddenly became shy.
"What's wrong? You're a top student in Chinese opera. Who doesn't know how to play and sing?" Zhang Yang was impatient and immediately shouted to the audience in the bar: "Now we welcome the beautiful college student Mei Liang to sing. Everyone is welcome!"
College beauty?
These four words immediately attracted the attention of the bar patrons, and everyone looked at Ming Ming, who was a little shy.
I don’t know if she is good at singing, but with her looks, she is indeed a beauty!
Seeing this gesture, Yu Dongqing also encouraged her to sing: "Don't you like singing "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain" very much? Why don't you just sing that one."
"Then brother-in-law, you have to accompany me." Meiliang said shyly.
"OK."
Yu Dongqing agreed, walked to the singing stage and sat next to the keyboard.
Since there is no folk music such as guzheng, keyboard is more suitable than guitar.
After a simple introduction, Meili started singing and dancing at the same time.
Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain
Cultivate this body in the cave for thousands of years
ah……
Practice diligently to gain enlightenment
Reborn and transformed into a human being
Although Mingli was wearing a tight T-shirt and denim shorts, she was still meticulous in flipping her sleeves, raising her fingers, and pacing, and immediately won a round of applause.
"This guy Dongqing actually wrote such a enchanting song?" Du Hui, who was admiring the song from the side, stared and almost didn't drop the cigarette in his mouth.
He is mainly teaching and giving lectures now, and he doesn't pay much attention to what is popular in the music industry. He has never heard of this song.
"You don't know, this guy also wrote a song "Learning to Meow" that's even more raunchy than this!" Zhang Yang joked, singing at the top of his voice.
Let’s learn to meow together
Meow meow meow meow together
Act like a baby in front of you
Ouch, meow, meow, meow, meow
The cigarette in Du Hui's mouth fell directly to the ground.
This was actually written by Yu Dongqing? !
"Hey, you don't know that this meowing cat is making a mess now. My daughter meows at home every day when she comes home." Liu Yimin was also a little helpless.
"But to be honest, this song is not as artistic as those two love songs. I really don't understand why it is so popular?" Zhang Yang shook his head.
"Holly said, existence is reasonable."
"But..." Zhang Yang was about to say something, but was stopped by Du Hui.
"What's the noise about? Listen quickly. This is the first time this girl sings. She has a pretty good voice."
