Karaoke originated in Japan in the 1960s and was once popular all over the world. In the early days, apart from game halls, video rooms, and billiard rooms, the most popular street entertainment in Shanhai City was karaoke with a large dance floor. With the changes of the times, the form of karaoke has gradually changed. At this time, it also appeared in people's vision in the form of a new song city.
Because Shanhai City is a tourist city, many things can be born here very early. Cheng Ran knows that Dingsheng Song City was the first to open here. Since the initial promotion of this private room karaoke, which is more private and closer to business communication, the business has been booming. Even in the later era, although Shanhai City has changed its appearance and various mass-market KTV entertainment methods have emerged, the old Dingsheng Song City has always been a well-known brand and is well-known in Shanhai.
The evolution process of things never seems to be a castle in the air. Many old things seem to have disappeared at first glance in the evolution of history, but in fact, upon closer analysis, they have survived in another way and in another form that is more adapted to the times.
Human beings’ desire for singing and musical expression has led to the creation of karaoke, KTV, and even the live streaming platforms of later generations.
The invention of printing paper eliminated the heavy bamboo slips, and portal websites and search engines made paper media increasingly weak. Serial novels on the Internet eroded the traditional book publishing industry. But in fact, human beings' desire for information has never disappeared, but has gone through different stages. Faster and more convenient tools have made these desires more direct, and the desire has expanded to a greater extent.
Human beings are social animals, and their instinctive desire for communication has led to the alumni directories and address books that were once treasured becoming a variety of social networks in the form of WeChat Moments and Weibo.
Is it also true that nothing ever dies, it just continues in another form
Thinking about this in the car, I sometimes find it very interesting. He is like a traveler back in time, always able to grasp the meaningful moments in those fragments of time and space.
The car stopped in front of the entrance of the music city. Cheng Xiang and Li Yu got out of the car and looked. The searchlight beams were patrolling back and forth on the top of the music city. The facade of the music city was decorated with light boxes and was full of brilliance. His two younger brothers were obviously excited. For the playful teenagers at this stage, the effect created still dazzled them.
Luo Youwei, who parked the car over, was quite proud, "My buddy's family is also a shareholder here, and invested one million! You will see him in a while."
Luo Youwei then took out a Nokia bar phone and started making a call, attracting the attention of men and women at the entrance of the music city.
Over the past year, more people have bar-type phones, but generally speaking, they are not common among young people. Luo Youwei has a car key chain hanging around his waist and a bar-type phone in his hand. He makes no secret of his voice while talking on the phone. He says things like "I'm at the gate of your music city" which invisibly attracts the attention of many people.
Not long after, the person Luo Youwei called came out. He was a man in his early twenties with a slicked-back hair and a relatively mature look.
Luo Youwei introduced the visitor to Fan Xin. The visitor was called Tian Hao, and his family was the shareholder of Dingsheng Song City. Fan Xin smiled at Tian Hao and said, "Hello... Your family's business is quite big."
Tian Hao said a few humble words, saying that it was done by several families together, not just his family, as if to clarify.
Fan Xin introduced the three brothers Cheng Ran, "These are our friends and brothers from our yard. They came out to play with me..."
Tian Hao reached out his hand and shook hands with Cheng Ran, and then shook hands with Cheng Xiang and Li Yu respectively. When he shook hands with Li Yu at last, his eyes fell on Cheng Ran. "You can come over to play in the future. Say my name and you'll get a 20% discount."
This is a very skillful way of dealing with things. Even if he is dealing with the three Cheng Ran brothers who are obviously much younger than him and are just passers-by, this attitude can bring the three of them into his aura and at the same time show his demeanor in dealing with things.
Luo Youwei was rather disapproving of Tian Hao's courtesy of giving a handshake to Cheng Ran and the other two, so he changed the subject and asked which box Liu Jin had booked.
Tian Hao has already received the effect. When Fan Xin heard Luo Youwei say that Tian Hao's family opened a karaoke club, she had some different judgments and prejudices. At this time, at least she has been shaken. When she looks at Tian Hao's eyes, she is more interested in exploring. Needless to say, she has earned a lot of impression points from Fan Xin.
Cheng Xiang and Li Yu were stunned for a moment, and then as they walked inside, Cheng Xiang approached Cheng Ran and asked, "Is this person interested in Sister Xinxin?"
Cheng Ran scratched his head. His two younger brothers were actually quite smart, but they were very playful. But when he was their age, he was also like this. However, the security in Shanhai at night was not very good at that time. Today, he had to remind them to go home after they had played for a while. Otherwise, if they came home late, they would inevitably be beaten by their second father and aunt.
As they walked, a middle-aged man on the fourth floor of the music city accidentally saw Cheng Ran, and then looked at the direction they were going, which was actually the luxury room at the end of the corridor that had already been noisy. He retracted his gaze and went to another small private room surrounded by people who were hugging each other.
Sun Wei came out to sing with his old classmates today, but he didn't expect to meet Cheng Ran. Last year, the June 2nd case involved the mayor's daughter. Sun Wei had seriously inquired about this matter on behalf of Li Jingping, so of course he was no stranger to Cheng Ran.
Li Jingping discussed with him about this young man, Cheng Ran, and thought that he was very courageous, basically exceeding the performance of his age. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was both intelligent and brave. In this respect, the only person who impressed Sun Wei was Jiang Hongshao.
Sun Wei also knew that he hid the two for their safety. Otherwise, if the news was made public to the media, it would definitely cause a big stir. Because Cheng Bin had blocked all the disturbances. His identity gave the public a safe parachute landing for the development and ending of the case, which promoted the police's ability to solve cases and deterred crime.
But if the key figures were replaced by Jiang Hongshao and Cheng Ran, two students, one side was a vicious gangster, and the other side was a student... then the waves caused would be huge. I'm afraid that neither of them would be able to have such a stable life as they do now.
But in short, both of them are quite different. Sun Wei knew that Jiang Hongshao continued to excel in No. 10 Middle School. As for Cheng Ran, Sun Wei would sometimes imagine what he was like, but he didn't go to the extent of asking about him. After all, with his status, it was a bit strange for him to go out of his way to get information about this student.
As a result, I encountered it today.
"Come here, you are the most popular person in front of our mayor. Among all our old classmates, you are the most promising... Sun Wei, those who come to you for help, in my opinion, don't be embarrassed to say no because of your classmates' face. You should still refuse what you should refuse. It is a mistake to take the project... I understand you..."
Someone opened a beer and handed it to Sun Wei, who followed the old rules and drank from the bottle.
Sun Wei took it and smiled, "By the way, it's quite lively over there, who's there?"
One of his classmates said, "Who else could it be? How many richest people are there in Shanhai? You can count them with one hand. Liu Zhongping is one of them. Today, he booked a private room for his son. His son Liu Jin wanted to invite people, so he invited people from his circle of children to come... It is said that the people he invited are also very important, and they are all here to accompany the worship..."
“Oh…” Sun Wei thought of Cheng Ran. He was obviously not the protagonist, and since he was invited by someone like Liu Zhongping, Cheng Ran was naturally not at that level. Moreover, he passed by Cheng Ran at that time, and saw him behind the crowd... more like a follower.
Although his deeds were hidden, the young man who behaved like that in the June 2nd case turned out to be a person who clung to the powerful and was entangled in this muddy water. Sun Wei was a little disappointed for some reason.
He believed that the other person would be the same if he knew.
