Lu Chen was puzzled. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder.
He instinctively turned his head and saw that Sister Na had appeared behind him without him knowing.
Qin Hanyang and the other four members of The Bionics were also there!
Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, "Sister Na, Brother Qin, you're both here?"
"I'm here!"
Sister Na smiled, "I had something to do at the bar with Da Qin. Fortunately, it's not too late. You're early."
Qin Hanyang nodded and suddenly asked, "Xiao Lu, do you know Little Cheng?"
"Little Cheng?"
Lu Chen was stunned, "Brother Qin, are you talking about that guy?"
This time it was Qin Hanyang's turn to be surprised, "You really don't know him? That's Cheng Xiaodong, the lead singer of the FIT band. They're based at Flaming Rose. They're a very popular band recently. "
This was the first time Lu Chen heard of Cheng Xiaodong's name, but he was familiar with Flaming Rose.
Flaming Rose was a very famous bar in Sanlitun. It was very big and business was very good.
It was said that Flaming Rose was first opened in Houhai. Because its management style was incompatible with Houhai's atmosphere, it moved to Sanlitun a few years ago. Everyone in the circle knew about it.
Speaking of which, it was interesting to note that many of the bars in Houhai were named after flowers. For example, Blue Lotus, Daylily, Hyacinth, Dandelion, etc., which was different from the Sanlitun bars.
Flaming Rose was the same. It didn't change its name after moving to Sanlitun.
Lu Chen smiled bitterly, "I really don't know him. I haven't even been to Flaming Rose before. He suddenly came to find me."
He didn't say that Cheng Xiaodong was provoking him, but Qin Hanyang should have seen Cheng Xiaodong's throat slit.
Sister Na thoughtfully said, "Little Ye seems to be familiar with the FIT band …"
Sister Na's reminder might be a bit vague, but Lu Chen understood it as soon as he heard it.
Little Ye was Ye Zhenyang, the resident singer of Daylily Bar.
Qin Hanyang said, "Let's sit down first. We have to sing well tonight. This time we will be on stage for a long time."
The Blue Lotus Music Carnival was extremely famous in the circle. Which singer in the bar didn't want to go on stage and try their luck? However, the duration of the performance was always limited, so there were often too many monks and not enough gruel.
In the past, Forget Worries Bar's singers had also appeared many times, but at most they were given 15 minutes of stage time.
This year's Light Blue Music Night was the grandest, and it was sponsored by a new media company in the industry. Who knew how many people would break their heads just to get in?
Forget Worries Bar was allocated two singers and a band, giving them a full 30 minutes!
Even ChenJianhao said that Boss Chang was giving him too much face.
As for how the time was allocated, Blue Lotus didn't care. They only cared about the order in which the singers would appear.
Everyone sat down around the table.
Qin Hanyang said, "The performance is about to start. Let's allocate the time on stage first. Sister Na?"
Who allocated the time was very important. As the big brother of Forget Worries Bar, Qin Hanyang naturally wouldn't pass on this responsibility. However, he still had to respect Sister Na's opinion.
Sister Na said, "I will only sing one song. Give me 5 minutes. Xiao Lu, give me 10 minutes. Two songs!"
Under normal circumstances, the allocation of time on stage was based on the status of the industry. Qin Hanyang and Sister Na would both sing two songs, leaving one song for Lu Chen. A total of five songs and 30 minutes was just right.
The duration of a song was usually around 4 minutes. After entering and exiting the stage and saying a few words, it would be done in 5 minutes.
A single singer was enough, but the band was a bit more troublesome. So, half of the time was given to Qin Hanyang.
However, Sister Na actually gave her time to sing a song for Lu Chen. This was really unexpected!
Lu Chen quickly said, "Sister Na, one song is enough for me."
Sister Na smiled and said, "How is one song enough? You, who sat next to me, and Cinderella. It would be a pity to have one less song. We should let everyone know that Forget Worries Bar has a talented singer. I will sing the song you wrote for me! "
Qin Hanyang actually nodded his head and said, "Sister Na is right. The song you wrote for her is very good!"
In Lu Chen's impression, Qin Hanyang was a serious singer. As the lead singer and leader of The Bionics, he spent most of his time in Forget Worries Bar with his band members. He would only come out when it was time to perform.
Lu Chen had been working at Forget Grass Bar for three years. The number of times he had spoken to this big brother added up couldn't be compared to now!
So, when he heard Qin Hanyang's praise, Lu Chen actually felt a little flattered.
"It's my luck that I got to know Xiao Lu!"
Sister Na smiled happily and said, "Xiao Lu, this song of yours has already been arranged by Da Qin. Tonight, I will go on stage with The Bionics. They will accompany me. After that, the rest of the time is up to you!"
When it comes to arranging music, Lu Chen is really ashamed. Although he has countless classic works in his memory, and there is no problem in sorting out the melody notation, it is not enough to arrange a complete music again.
The main reason was that Lu Chen lacked experience in this area. He also needed to learn and recharge. Otherwise, in the future, if he only knew how to write melodies and didn't know how to arrange songs, it would be easy to be criticized by others.
No matter what, Sister Na insisted and Qin Hanyang didn't have any objections. The time given to Lu Chen for the two songs was set.
The lead guitarist, bassist, drummer, and keyboardist of The Bionics all looked at Lu Chen with a "you lucky kid" expression, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Qin Hanyang picked up the form on the table that Lu Chen had not seen yet, browsed it, and frowned.
Sister Na was very sensitive, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
Qin Hanyang shook his head and said, "There's no big problem. It's just that Xiao Lu isn't arranged to go on stage with us. In front of him is the FIT band, behind him is the North Needle band, and then it's our turn."
In the past, singers from the same bar would be arranged to go on stage together. This was because many singers would be accompanied by their own band, such as Sister Na and The Bionics.
But situations like Lu Chen's were deliberately separated were very rare.
Sister Na didn't care, "Is this okay? Xiao Lu's level of playing and singing is most suitable for a solo performance! "
Qin Hanyang muttered, "I heard that the main purpose of this music festival is to promote the North Needle band."
The North Needle band was formed two years ago. The band's lead singer, Gan Lang, was a very strong singer and was currently signed to the Blue Lotus Bar. The North Needle band was famous for their light rock style and was much more famous than the The Bionics.
The news that Qin Hanyang received was that the North Needle band had changed their contract to Light Rain Media. This music festival was held to promote the North Needle band and would be officially announced at the end of the performance.
Light Rain Media even invited a group of industry insiders and media reporters.
Therefore, the North Needle band's performance at night was the most important part of the festival. Lu Chen was in front of them, and the FIT band was in front of him. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like they were caught in a pincer attack.
Qin Hanyang and Sister Na were both experienced and understood after a moment of analysis. Sister Na hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Lu, do you want to change songs?"
The FIT band and the North Needle band were both rock bands. Their performances were definitely passionate and could easily stir up the emotions of the audience, which in turn ignited the atmosphere of the venue.
If it was The Bionics in the middle, Qin Hanyang would be able to control the scene. But if everyone was excited and Lu Chen went up with a guitar and sang "You Who Sat Next To Me" or "Cinderella" …
He would probably be booed off the stage after singing a few lines. The style was completely wrong!
The audience who came to the music festival weren't fans of anyone. If they felt that the song wasn't good, they would just boo. Very few singers would be able to persist in such a humiliating situation.
Qin Hanyang agreed, "Yes, change to a more energetic song. Our band will accompany you!"
The order of the lineup had already been set. Changing people on stage at the last minute was definitely not possible as it would be disrespectful to the organizers. However, there was no problem for the band to go on stage with the singer.
With the support of The Bionics, Lu Chen's momentum would certainly not be bad. However, he could only give up on the two original songs.
At this time, how could Lu Chen still not understand that he was being used as a stepping stone. No wonder the people from the FIT band came to provoke him.
"Thank you Brother Qin, thank you Sister Na, but I think I can go on stage by myself!"
Lu Chen was very grateful for Qin Hanyang and Sister Na's kindness and reminder, but he didn't have any intention of backing down.
Instead, his fighting spirit was completely aroused!
