This dinner, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.
Dong Yu and Su Qingmei not only got what they wanted, but also used this to restore a good cooperative relationship with Lu Chen.
The three newcomers under Light Rain Media are even more beaming, because they almost pre-booked roles in Lu Chen's new TV series, even if they are ordinary supporting roles, it is an incomparably precious opportunity.
Qin Hanyang has completed the task and has face.
And Lu Chen didn't suffer a loss, making the two beauties owe a big favor.
If it is an ordinary beauty, this kind of favor is not worth much. Although Dong Yu and Su Qingmei have just started to gain a foothold in the circle, their backgrounds are very unusual.
Just like the Li family represented by Li Mubai and Li Mushi, what Lu Chen gave away most of the shares in Zhongchou.com was the friendship and support of the former.
With this kind of relationship, the idlers inside and outside the circle dare not easily bully Lu Chen.
If you want to do well in the entertainment industry, you will only become a stepping stone for others if you have no background.
But Lu Chen can't rely on the Li family all the time. When the favor is always exhausted, the friendship between him and Li Mubai is not a bargaining chip that can be squandered at will. It is the right choice to continue to accumulate more and wider contacts.
So Lu Chen was very happy to let Dong Yu and Su Qingmei owe him a favor, and he didn't pay much.
Win-win.
After dinner, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.
When the flushed Qin Hanyang walked out of the restaurant, he reached out and patted Lu Chen's shoulder vigorously, and said, "Lu Chen, I'll take you to a very interesting place, are you okay tonight?"
He drank a lot of wine that night and was obviously a little drunk.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Qin, if you say it's interesting, it must be very interesting."
Qin Hanyang laughed loudly and waved: "Let's go!"
Lu Chen said goodbye to the people from Light Rain Media, and then, together with Li Feiyu, followed Qin Hanyang to leave.
The place Qin Hanyang took Lu Chen to is called 1912 Street, which is the bar street in Jinling.
There is only one wall away from the Presidential Palace, and the surrounding buildings are full of historical charm. At night, the lights are feasting and the wine is green. Walking in it seems to have walked into the time and time, which makes people feel like a dream.
Obviously this is not the first time Qin Hanyang has come to 1912. He is very familiar with the streets here. After getting out of the taxi, he took Lu Chen and the two of them for a hundred meters, and then turned into a rather quiet alley.
The alley is very short, only tens of meters long, and it is a dead end.
There is an LED light box at the end of the alley. The design of the signboard is very different and unique. The four English letters of Crow are very eye-catching and can be seen from a long distance.
Along the way, Qin Hanyang sobered up a lot, pointed to the light board and said: "This is the Black Crow Bar. The Black Crow Band once sang here, and they changed their name after they came, until now."
"My buddies are all in there, there are many like-minded friends who sing rock!"
Lu Chen immediately understood.
The Black Crow Bar is undoubtedly one of the gathering places for musicians in Jinling, and there are similar bars in Beijing.
This kind of bar is relatively deep, and usually doesn't welcome ordinary customers. The people who often come are insiders or senior music fans. Relatively speaking, the commercial atmosphere is very light, but the artistic atmosphere is very strong, similar to a literary salon.
He remembered something and asked, "Jinling faction?"
Qin Hanyang nodded: "Yes!"
Lu Chen suddenly realized.
The so-called Jinling School was one of the three major schools of rock and roll in China back then. The other two schools were the Guangdong-Hong Kong School and the Beijing School.
The formation of the styles of the three schools is inseparable from the regional environment.
The rock and roll of the Jingcheng school often has a lot of content related to politics and social forms, full of depression and indignation.
The Guangdong-Hong Kong School is most influenced by European and American rock and roll, and likes to explore the human nature under the great social changes, decadent and depraved.
As for the Jinling School, it has a strong literary and artistic atmosphere, not so extreme and crazy, and leans towards rock and roll.
Since the beginning of the new century, national rock has declined rapidly. The older generation of rock stars either died and retired, or changed careers. The three major genres have gradually withered, and until now they have basically had little influence on the pop music scene.
Many young people don't know these things at all.
Due to the style, compared with the Guangdong-Hong Kong School and the Beijing School, the Jinling School has a slightly stronger sense of existence, and several local bands are still active in the music scene.
The Black Crow Bar is obviously the den of the Jinling faction, so Qin Hanyang said that this place is very interesting.
Lu Chen was also interested.
The place where the Black Crow Bar is located is also an old house, which seems to have a history of hundreds of years. If there is no illuminated sign, it is not easy to see that it is a music bar, more like an ordinary rich family.
There were no waiters or security guards at the door, so I opened the door and walked in, and a bar-specific smell came to my face, accompanied by the sound of music.
The inside of this bar is bigger than Lu Chen imagined. There are many customers. Men and women are chatting, drinking, laughing and listening to music around the uniquely shaped wine table. It is noisier than the bars in Houhai, but not as chaotic as Sanlitun.
On the stage, a five-piece rock band is performing, singing "Ancient Clock Tower" by the Crows.
The lead singer holding the bass was disheveled, and roared into the microphone, as if wanting to roar out all the strength in his body, a kind of hysterical madness.
In fact, the song "Ancient Bell Tower" is a rare nostalgic work of the Crow Band. The melody is not intense and high-spirited, with a touch of folk songs.
The band has apparently reworked the classic and given it their own twist.
As for the effect, it is a matter of opinion.
Probably their singing attracted the attention of most of the guests, so few noticed the arrival of Qin Hanyang and Lu Chen.
Qin Hanyang led Lu Chen to find a place by the corner.
The four members of the wandering band were all there, and there was a man and a woman whom Lu Chen didn't know. They sat behind a long table made of two tables, and all kinds of food and beer bottles were thrown on it, looking very messy.
"Brother Qin!" "Brother Chen!"
The members of the Wandering Band were drinking happily. When they saw Qin Hanyang and Lu Chen, they quickly stood up and said hello.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Long time no see."
He and Wandering haven't seen each other for several months, everyone is busy, so they are not on the same line anyway.
Qin Hanyang introduced to Lu Chen: "This is Big Jiang, the boss of Black Crow, Jiang Ziya's Jiang."
Da Jiang is a dark and thin middle-aged man. He wears jeans and a long-sleeved T-shirt. He looks like a vicissitudes of life. He doesn't feel like a bar owner at all, but a migrant worker on a construction site. He is rough and real.
Lu Chen smiled: "Hello Big Jiang, nice to meet you."
Qin Hanyang introduced Lu Chen again: "This is Lu Chen, don't I need to introduce you?"
"It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Da Jiang took the initiative to extend his hand to Lu Chen, with joy in his eyes: "I have wanted to know you for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the chance. I missed it when I went to the capital last time. Today I finally got my wish!"
Qin Hanyang said: "Da Jiang also sang rock and roll before, and his singing skills are much better than opening a bar!"
Lu Chen smiled and shook hands with the other party: "It's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Sit, sit, sit..."
Da Jiang beckoned everyone to sit down, while the woman next to him quickly cleaned up the empty bottles and plates.
Da Jiang recruited the waiter to help, cleaned up quickly, and brought new beer.
Lu Chen took a sip of beer and didn't drink much.
He's had a lot to drink that night.
Da Jiang was very excited. He first chatted with everyone and drank some wine. After the live band finished singing, he hurried to the stage and asked to pass the microphone.
"Good evening everyone..."
The bar owner said with a smile: "I am very happy to tell you one thing here, that is, the famous Wandering Band and Qin Hanyang, our Da Qin is coming to the Black Crow Bar, everyone welcome!"
Applause and whistle sounded, and the guests looked left and right, looking for Qin Hanyang.
Qin Hanyang quickly stood up and waved to everyone to express his thanks.
The applause was even louder.
Da Jiang continued: "There is another friend who came here with Da Qin, you must have never thought of it..."
"He is the original author of "In Spring", "Blue Lotus" and "Chasing Dreams", Lu Chen!"
Lu Chen
There was an uproar at the scene, the applause was much weaker, but there were discussions everywhere, mixed with a few screams.
A girl's scream.
Lu Chen also stood up and waved.
When many people saw him, their voices became louder.
Most of them were words like "This is Lu Chen?" "Why did he come to Black Crow?" "Hehe!"
Black Crow Bar is a niche music bar. Its customer base is very narrow. They are basically insiders and rock music fans. There are also a small number of ordinary music fans, or they are brought in by friends to see someone new and lively.
In this small circle, Qin Hanyang and the Wandering Band are undoubtedly more famous than Lu Chen.
The patrons of the Crow's Bar identify with him even more.
But there is no one who does not know the name Lu Chen, even those who disdain his youth or creative style, have heard of "In the Spring", "Blue Lotus", "Chasing Dreams", "Flying Higher" …
In fact, these songs are often sung on stage.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no intersection between Lu Chen and the Black Crow Bar. No one would have thought that he would appear here. Either they were pleasantly surprised, surprised, curious, or dismissive. It was very complicated.
Not everyone welcomes him.
Lu Chen felt the strange atmosphere in the bar, and sat down calmly again.
He felt a little out of place here.
Qin Hanyang frowned, and suddenly realized that it was a mistake for him to bring Lu Chen to the Black Crow Bar.
There are not many fans of Lu Chen here, even if he wrote a work like "In the Spring".
