The bars Su Nuo chose were not very large, but their advantage was the large number of people.
Many young people who are tone-deaf also like to go on stage and howl, so the atmosphere in the bar is very lively.
The terms Sunuo and the manager agreed upon were that the first night would only cost the fare to the venue. If the manager was satisfied after the performance, they could negotiate the price the next day.
Zheng Mingming and Chen Guodong sing two songs each, and the songs are of their own choice. If the guest requests a song or asks for an encore, additional songs will be added temporarily.
Su Nuo combed Zheng Mingming's hair straight and smooth, and made her look like a porcelain doll. She was extremely well-behaved.
As soon as I stood on the stage, someone started whistling, because this little girl was really out of tune with the atmosphere of the bar.
But when Zheng Mingming opened his voice, he turned out to be imitating Andy Lau. With his deep voice and rapping pronunciation, he really imitated You Baxiang.
The guests were quiet for three seconds, and then it suddenly became overwhelming.
"Chen Guodong, please sing an English song, a country rock song." Su Nuo used hair wax to scratch Chen Guodong's hair like Elvis Presley, and said: "Don't worry about singing the wrong song, I'm sure no one here can understand a word of the lyrics. It’s just a show-off style, proving that we can handle various styles.”
Chen Guodong said there was no pressure and he would step up as soon as Zheng Mingming stepped down. He even gave himself a stage name of "Chen Xi", which probably means "Morning Sun".
Chen Guodong's voice is very clean, and his English speech is also authentic. It is an original country rock style with a bit of heavy metal punk style.
When Zheng Mingming went on stage to sing the second song, the bar manager called someone to invite Suno and said that he wanted to talk about tomorrow's performance now.
Su Nuohe said tactfully that they came here just to make money and hoped that the manager would give them the most reasonable price.
The manager likes this kind of simple and direct conditions, which are much more practical than those young people who carry guitars and claim to be high-minded and dreamy.
Finally, Su Nuo negotiated a good price, and Zheng Mingming and Chen Guodong promised to sing at least two songs each. If the guest requests a song, the song fee will be shared equally between both parties.
The manager generously paid today’s performance fee.
After the one-hour performance ended, Su Nuo put a hoodie on Zheng Mingming and a hat on Chen Guodong, and pulled the two of them out the back door.
"Hurry up, call a motorcycle driver, let's go to the next bar." Su Nuo was still carrying a small dressing case in his hand, and in the backpack on his back were the costumes of the two of them.
The three of them got on three motorcycles and headed straight to the next bar.
After a night of hard work, it was almost two o'clock in the morning when we returned to the hotel.
Cousin Min Yanchun was not asleep yet, so she opened the door when she heard the sound.
"Cousin, you should go to bed early from now on. Don't wait for us, and don't open the door casually. What if it's not us who come back."
While Su Nuo poured makeup remover and rubbed it on Chen Guodong's face, he shouted to Zheng Mingming: "Wash your hair and blow dry before going to bed. How can I style my hair if it looks like a chicken coop in the morning?"
Zheng Mingming pursed her lips and pretended to look aggrieved, but she was actually the happiest one.
The crazy Zheng Mingming sang and danced on the stage, and a group of crazy audience applauded her. This feeling made the little girl almost become a fairy.
After Zheng Mingming washed his hair and wiped off the makeup on Chen Guodong's face, Su Nuo gathered everyone together. She sat cross-legged on the bed, took out her small purse and poured it out.
Colorful banknotes were scattered all over the bed. Suno picked up a few and put them away, saying, "These are mine, and the rest are for tonight's performance fee. See if they are worth it."
