It was drizzling outside.
Many guests came to the Black Crow Bar. The seats were almost full, and it was getting more and more lively.
The boss, Da Jiang, returned to the place where The Bionics was and gave the stage to the band and singer.
Someone was shouting Qin Hanyang's name, hoping that he would perform on stage.
Although it wasn't a pure rock band, The Bionics led by Qin Hanyang had a high reputation in this circle. It was also because he was friends with Da Jiang that he was invited.
Da Jiang unscrewed a bottle of beer and handed it to Qin Hanyang. He smiled and said, "Do you want to go up and play?"
He had known Qin Hanyang for many years and knew the latter's temperament, so he didn't say anything polite.
It didn't matter if Qin Hanyang didn't want to sing, he was just here to play.
"A little later …"
Qin Hanyang took the bottle, touched his belly and said, "My stomach is still full, I need to digest it first."
Everyone laughed.
Da Jiang looked for Lu Chen to talk, and didn't forget to greet Li Feiyu, even if the latter was only Lu Chen's assistant.
Lu Chen felt that the boss of the Black Crow Bar was quite interesting, so he chatted with him.
Da Jiang was a Jinling local, and he had opened a bar for many years. It was easy for him to talk about interesting things, so the atmosphere was very harmonious. Even the members of The Bionics joined in the conversation.
"Brother Lu Chen …"
While they were chatting happily, a timid voice suddenly came from the side, "Can I have an autograph?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see two 18 or 19-year-old girls appear beside him, holding their mobile phones tightly in their hands, looking at him with eyes full of expectation, their faces with a shy and uneasy expression.
These two were obviously not rock singers or fans. They were most likely brought by their friends to watch the fun.
The Black Crow Bar was actually very similar to some music bars in Houhai. Most of the customers were people in the circle, and a group of underground singers gathered here. The expenses weren't high, the atmosphere was unique, and it was quite mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people.
Bringing a girl here to experience it was actually a very new thing, and it added to the coolness.
The people in this small circle did not like Lu Chen very much, but the guests who came to watch the fun were different. For example, the two girls in front of them were not true fans of Lu Chen, but they were also fans of his idols.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Sure, where should I sign?"
Whether they were real fans or passersby, he had always been friendly and kind to his fans. He never put on airs or put on airs.
For example, Lu Chen would try his best to satisfy his fans' requests for autographs.
The two girls were a little surprised, but more than that, they were pleasantly surprised. They quickly borrowed a pen and paper from the waiter.
After successfully getting the autograph, one of the girls became bolder and said, "Brother Lu Chen, I like watching 'Autumn in My Heart' the most. You played Yin Junxi really well!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you."
The girl took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Lu Chen, can I take a picture with you?"
Lu Chen nodded and stood up.
The girl was instantly overjoyed. She quickly passed the phone to her friend and held his arm.
She even tilted her head and leaned on Lu Chen's shoulder.
After taking the picture, her friend was very envious and also wanted to take a picture.
Lu Chen could only be a prop and took a picture with the two girls, which made them extremely satisfied.
A passerby was definitely going to become a true fan!
When Lu Chen sat down again, Qin Hanyang shook his head and sighed at Da Jiang. "Da Jiang, we're really old now. We can't even lie to young girls anymore. If it was in the past … sigh!"
The two girls only cared about talking and taking pictures with Lu Chen and completely ignored The Bionics who were sitting next to them.
Qin Hanyang's self-deprecation made everyone burst out laughing.
Lu Chen could not help but laugh.
When the country was popular, being a rock singer was a very cool thing to do. Wearing a T-shirt and tattered jeans with long hair, he could easily charm ignorant girls, especially the kind of artistic young women.
Nowadays, people who wore similar outfits were basically classified as hip-hop style and had to wear all kinds of shiny jewelry.
The era of rock had long passed. Only places like the Black Crow Bar still stuck to a small circle, huddling together to recall the glory days of the past.
People like Qin Hanyang belonged to the category of people who had walked out and could no longer be considered as part of this circle.
It was probably because the two girls had played a good role in setting a good example. Next, several girls ran over to ask for autographs and pictures, making their table the focus of attention at the scene.
There were more whispers and discussions, most of which were directed at Lu Chen.
In the Black Crow Bar, young and pure girls were scarce resources. They all rushed to get close to Lu Chen.
How could the other singers be happy when they heard that?
The atmosphere naturally began to become strange.
Qin Hanyang noticed the strange gazes from around him. He thought for a moment and immediately said to the members of The Bionics, "Let's go up and play a few songs!"
In fact, at this time, Lu Chen planned to leave. There was no need to let himself be pointed at.
However, Qin Hanyang had to sing on stage. He couldn't run away now, so he had to stay.
With the Bionics on stage, everyone's attention was diverted.
Whether it was in Houhai in Beijing or 1912 in Jinling, The Bionics were legendary. From obscurity to fame overnight, the story of this band was widely circulated in the circle.
Everyone had heard of The Bionics' songs, but not many had actually heard them live.
Therefore, as soon as they appeared, they received warm applause, cheers, and screams.
Qin Hanyang sat down on a stool with his electric guitar in his arms. He first tested the sound, then reached out to adjust the height of the microphone. He cleared his throat and said, "I'm very happy to return to the Black Crow Bar today. I walked from here to Beijing. It's been more than ten years!"
"Some friends are still here, and some have gone far away. But no matter what, it's our fate to be able to meet here tonight. I just want to sing a few songs, and everyone will like it."
As soon as his voice fell, cheers and applause exploded. Many people even stood up and applauded.
Qin Hanyang raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and continued, "Thank you, Big Jiang, for giving me this opportunity, and thank you, Lu Chen, for creating such a good work."
"In The Spring, for everyone!"
The atmosphere in the bar was ignited in an instant, and it was extremely enthusiastic.
"I still remember the spring many years ago, when I hadn't cut my long hair yet …"
"But I was so happy at that time, although I only had a broken wooden guitar …"
"On the street, under the bridge, in the field, singing the song that no one cared about!"
Qin Hanyang had sung "In The Spring" countless times. He was absolutely skilled, and his understanding of this work had reached a very profound level.
Some people didn't know, and even thought that "In The Spring" was Qin Hanyang's life experience, and he created it.
Many singers had covered this classic, but very few people could sing the vicissitudes of life in the song.
This was a work of extreme vicissitudes.
Back to Jinling, back to the Black Crow Bar, back to the place where his dream began …
The emotions that Qin Hanyang integrated into the song became stronger, as if it was a jar of old wine.
Many people present were humming or singing in silence, as if they were on a pilgrimage.
When Qin Hanyang finished singing, almost everyone stood up, applauded and cheered!
Including Lu Chen.
It was undoubtedly the right choice for him to give this song to The Bionics.
After "In The Spring", Qin Hanyang sang "Fly Higher".
This song was first sung by Lu Chen in "Singing China". Later, he licensed the cover rights to The Bionics, which released a single and became one of the signature works of The Bionics.
It was also loved by everyone.
And Qin Hanyang also used these two works to tell everyone what excellent talent Lu Chen has!
When the applause in the bar subsided, Qin Hanyang said, "Thank you again for Lu Chen's creation of this song" Fly Higher ". He is a great singer-songwriter. Let's invite him to sing this song for us!"
This time, the applause was much more sincere and warm.
No matter what prejudice they have, no one can deny Lu Chen's talent. No matter how much they don't like folk singers, they can't ignore Lu Chen's influence in the pop music world today.
Even in the rock circle, Lu Chen's name is still loud, but some people selectively ignore it.
They even think that "In The Spring" is not really rock.
At this moment, in the Black Crow Bar, there are also such conceited and proud people, watching Lu Chen on the stage with complicated eyes, wanting to hear what song he will sing.
"You Who Sat Next To Me"? "The Brightest Star In The Night Sky"?
They're all jokes. At most, "Chasing Dream With A Childlike Heart" is barely qualified.
Even Qin Hanyang thought that Lu Chen would sing "Chasing Dream With A Childlike Heart". He said in a low voice, "We've practiced" Chasing Dream With A Childlike Heart ". There's no problem with the accompaniment!"
Returning to this once familiar and proud circle, Qin Hanyang suddenly found that he was a little out of place in this circle. Those old rock singers are still immersed in the glory of the past and don't want to make progress, while young rock singers can't find a way out and are generally impetuous and anxious.
Some people say that rock has long been dead. Qin Hanyang doesn't completely deny this, but he always believes that there will be a time for national rock to be reborn, as long as there are a few more excellent writers like Lu Chen.
What's funny is that this small circle actually faintly rejects Lu Chen.
Out of his love for rock and roll and his once firm belief, Qin Hanyang stands here to support Lu Chen. He wants to let these people understand how ridiculous their stubborn pride is.
If they don't seek novelty, don't seek change, don't follow the pulse of the times, then national rock will really die.
The so-called Jinling School is nothing more than struggling at death's door.
