"How could I fall in love with you?
I'm asking myself.
I can give up anything,
It's hard to leave today.
You're not beautiful,
But you're so cute!
Oh, Cinderella,
My Cinderella.
… … "
The strings are plucked, the simple melody, Lu Chen's singing is slightly low, with a trace of nostalgia and sadness.
In Lu Chen's dream world, this song was written by a very talented rock singer to give to his first girlfriend. It also contains a very moving story.
Although the final ending of the story is not perfect, the charm of this song is beyond doubt. It has touched countless people and has been used by many people to sing and perform. It has become a real classic that has lasted for a long time.
In terms of the emotion of the song, this song has a lot in common with "You Who Sat Next To Me". They both have the meaning of fate, but it is more sincere, expressing the singer's willfulness, self-reproach and pursuit of love.
When this song was sung by Lu Chen for the first time in this world, it still touched everyone's heartstrings.
Especially the couples present, they were deeply moved.
The boy held the girl's hand tightly, even if the latter stared at Lu Chen on the stage.
Because you're my Cinderella!
"… …
I'm always hurting your heart,
I'm always cruel,
I told you not to take it seriously,
Because I can't believe it.
You're so beautiful,
And you're so cute,
Oh, Cinderella,
My Cinderella.
… … "
It seemed that the whole world was quiet, and everyone was listening to Lu Chen's singing. Many girls' eyes were quietly covered with a layer of hazy tears. They were speechless, and even their breathing became stagnant.
"… …
If this is a dream,
I'd rather be drunk than wake up.
I've endured,
I've waited so long,
Maybe I'm waiting for you,
Maybe I'm waiting for you,
Maybe I'm waiting for you,
… … "
Until the end of the performance, no one spoke.
"A Cinderella …"
Lu Chen said softly, "It's the first time I've sung it. I hope everyone likes it."
Then there was applause.
At first, it was one or two claps, like a storm on a summer night. But soon, it became uniform. Many guests stood up and applauded Lu Chen. There was no noise, only warm applause!
Especially those girls, their palms were red from clapping.
This song "Cinderella" does not have an impassioned melody, nor does it have ups and downs in the climax. It will not make the listener's blood boil, but it can quietly break into the listener's heart, making them involuntarily be moved by the implicit and blazing emotions in the song.
Most importantly, they were First Listeners.
If one day, "Cinderella" becomes a well-known classic, then he/she can proudly boast to others that he/she was the first person to appreciate this song, and he/she witnessed its debut!
Can "Cinderella" become a classic?
There were many different answers, but no matter who it was, they had to admit that this was a really good song.
There was emotion, love, and even more so, soul!
The applause lasted for a few minutes. Such a scene had never happened in Forget Grass Bar before. It was a treatment that The Bionics and Sister Na had never received before.
Someone said loudly, "Let's sing it again!"
His request was unanimously approved by everyone, and they strongly requested for Lu Chen to sing it again.
However, Lu Chen smiled and shook his head. He spoke into the microphone, "Thank you everyone for your support, but I will only sing this song once tonight, because I saw some girls crying over here …"
He used his elbow to press the guitar on his lap, clasped his hands together, and apologized to the right side of the stage.
The position Lu Chen was facing was table 035, which was the table of Xiao Mi and her three best friends.
Among the four girls, two of them already had red eyes.
Seeing everyone's attention shifted to them following Lu Chen's actions, the girls were embarrassed and blushed. The two of them quickly used the back of their hands to wipe the tears from the corner of their eyes.
University girls were romantic and passionate, and could easily be moved by sad singing.
Lu Chen continued, "My mother once told me that a girl's tears are the most precious. She said that no matter what, I cannot let a girl cry, or else it would be a crime."
Soft laughter sounded in the bar.
After a pause, Lu Chen sighed, "I think I have already committed a heinous crime, so I can't sing anymore."
The chuckle turned into laughter, and the sorrowful atmosphere in the bar suddenly disappeared.
Xiao Mi's big sister, second sister, and third sister could not help but laugh. Their eyes were filled with tears, but they were laughing happily.
Xiao Mi wanted to laugh, but she did not, and in her heart, she scolded, "Annoying!"
Lu Chen did not know that he was "annoyed" by a girl. The reason why he did not sing "Cinderella" again was not because he was tsundere or to keep people in suspense, but because the atmosphere created by singing "You Who Sat Next To Me" and "Cinderella" was enough.
As the saying goes, going too far is as bad as falling short. Knowing when to stop is the way of the king.
He took the opportunity to get off the stage, and gave his position to the host. At around 9 o 'clock, he would go on stage to sing another two songs.
Resident singers have a fixed singing time, and also a guaranteed salary.
The real big income is still the reward share. Tonight, Lu Chen can earn a lot more than yesterday!
But Lu Chen was very clear that this rhythm of earning money was only temporary, and could not last long. He was relying on the two original songs that he sang. Although he could still come up with better songs, it was not worth it to put them in the bar.
"You Who Sat Next To Me" and "Cinderella" were enough to be his reserved songs.
Forget Grass Bar's stage was too small, and could not accommodate Lu Chen's soaring heart.
Of course, at least for now, he had no plans to leave.
Back at the backstage, Sister Na gave Lu Chen a Big hug!
She smiled and said, "Xiao Lu, you really surprised me. You sang well, really well!"
Sister Na had been in this industry for decades. Although she had never made a name for herself, she knew how to appreciate music better than ordinary customers, and was able to judge the potential of an original song.
Whether it was "You Who Sat Next To Me" or "Cinderella", they both made her look at Lu Chen in a different light.
Compared to Sister Na's sincerity, Li Hong, Ye Zhenyang and the others' smiles were much more forced, especially Ye Zhenyang, who looked at Lu Chen with unconcealable jealousy.
Two genuine original songs, both had the potential to become popular. How could Lu Chen's luck be so good?
Ye Zhenyang entered the industry much earlier than Lu Chen. As a member of the "Beijing drifters", he also had his own dreams and ambitions, and once wanted to write a few good songs.
In the pop music circle, some singers used a moment of inspiration to write a famous song, and then relied on that song to win over the whole world, living comfortably.
However, no matter how much Ye Zhenyang racked his brain to put together the songs, the songs he wrote, although not considered to be unbearably bad, they were also mediocre. It was not worth spending 500 yuan to register in the "Greater China Music Library".
In the end, he could only be discouraged and give up.
Now that he saw Lu Chen consecutively compose two good songs, jealousy was like a poisonous snake, constantly biting his heart. Don't mention congratulating Lu Chen, he almost couldn't maintain his fake smile.
"I'll go out and take a look …"
Ye Zhenyang casually found a reason to leave. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be burned to ashes by jealousy.
Just as he opened the door, Ye Zhenyang saw ChenJianhao appearing in front of him.
He couldn't help but be taken aback, and quickly greeted, "Boss … …"
ChenJianhao nodded, then waved his hand towards Lu Chen in the room and said, "Xiao Lu, come with me, someone wants to buy songs from you."
Buy songs?
There was actually someone looking for Lu Chen to buy songs!
Ye Zhenyang was dumbfounded, he didn't even know how he walked out.
And Lu Chen was also stunned. Sister Na smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Go quickly!"
She was obviously a little worried, and added another sentence, "Remember not to sell it cheap!"
Lu Chen came to his senses, smiled and said, "Thank you Sister Na, I'll go first."
When he and ChenJianhao left, there were only Sister Na, Li Hong and Wang Xiaoshuai left in the big room. The latter two looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe what just happened.
Li Hong hesitated for a moment, and said to Sister Na, "Sister Na, aren't you too, too … …"
She was very careful, thinking about what words to use.
Li Hong was also a woman over 30 years old, her appearance wasn't outstanding, so in Forget Grass Bar, her relationship with Sister Na was very good, the two of them had a lot of common topics.
Therefore, there were some things that others didn't dare to say, but she dared to ask.
Sister Na smiled and said, "You want to say that I overestimated Xiao Lu?"
Li Hong smiled awkwardly, but tacitly agreed.
Sister Na said softly, "Xiao Lu's time in the industry is very short, his original level wasn't high, but he has talent and potential, and now he has already revealed his talent, so I think Forget Grass Bar can't keep him."
"What I can be sure of is that Xiao Lu won't leave immediately, I understand Xiao Ye's thoughts, but I am very clear that Xiao Lu is a person who values relationships, and respects his seniors, isn't that right?"
Li Hong silently nodded her head.
She knew that Sister Na's words were said to her, Ye Zhenyang and Wang Xiaoshuai, the meaning was very obvious.
Regardless of whether they were convinced or not, Lu Chen, who was able to produce two outstanding original works, was no longer on the same level as them, his future was limitless.
For such a person, to be able to work together was fate, and also an opportunity. If they were like Ye Zhenyang, who only had a heart of jealousy, they would have missed this opportunity, and would not be able to touch any light.
But would Lu Chen really have a day where he would soar to the top?
Li Hong still couldn't believe it, or more accurately, she didn't want to believe it.
The slight change in expression on Li Hong's face didn't escape Sister Na's attention, but Sister Na didn't say anything more.
Opportunities need to be grasped by oneself, and some things also need to be understood by oneself!
As for whether others could understand, she wouldn't worry.
