Facing the countless surprised, doubtful, and shocked gazes from the audience.
Lu Chen smiled calmly.
He said, "Before I start singing, please allow me to change this guitar."
Lu Chen held the guitar pillow and picked it up. He turned to Qin Hanyang, who was standing at the backstage exit, and asked, "Big Brother Qin, can you lend me an electric guitar?"
"Wait!"
Qin Hanyang replied loudly. Without hesitation, he turned around and ran back inside to grab his electric guitar.
Then, he rushed onto the stage in two or three steps.
His electric guitar was an American made Fender. Fender had the best quality among similar brands. Of course, its price was also very shocking. After Qin Hanyang bought it, he treated it like a treasure and never lent it to anyone.
But now, without the slightest hesitation, he lent his Fender electric guitar to Lu Chen.
Not only that, but Qin Hanyang also personally connected the electric guitar to the cable and gave it to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen didn't think that Qin Hanyang would actually give his electric guitar to him.
He took the electric guitar from Qin Hanyang's hands and gave the wooden guitar to Qin Hanyang. Then, he said, "Let me introduce everyone. This is the lead singer of The Bionics, Qin Hanyang, Big Brother Qin!"
Qin Hanyang was caught unprepared. He immediately waved to the audience and said, "Hello everyone!"
The audience responded with warm applause and whistles.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, Big Brother Qin. Big Brother Qin will also be performing on stage in a bit. Everyone will see you again."
"And then …"
"I also have to thank the Blue Lotus Bar. It was the Blue Lotus Bar that gave many singers like me a chance to meet each other on such a beautiful night!"
"The following song is called Blue Lotus. I will give it to the Blue Lotus Bar and to all those who yearn for freedom and pursue their dreams. That's you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen raised his head and looked straight ahead. His eyes were incomparably firm!
"Nothing can stop me …"
When he sang the first line, Lu Chen strummed the strings.
The prelude sounded. It wasn't intense, but it contained power and instantly rushed into everyone's ears.
"Your yearning for freedom,
The life of a heavenly steed.
Your heart is free of worries!
Through the dark years,
I also felt hesitant.
When you lower your head,
Only then did he realize the path under his feet.
The world of freedom in his heart.
So clear and lofty.
Blooming and never withering.
Blue Lotus! "
This song was completely different from "In The Spring". It did not have the sadness of vicissitudes, the melancholy of nostalgia for the past, or the excitement of blood boiling. It brought people to the boundless plateau.
That was the place closest to the sky. It was pure, clear, lofty, and able to cleanse one's soul without restraint.
Embracing the ideal, loving all the beauty in the world, resolute, calm, and quiet, he sang loudly.
"Nothing can stop me.
Your yearning for freedom,
The life of a heavenly steed.
Your heart is free of worries!
Through the dark years,
I also felt hesitant.
When you lower your head,
Only then did he realize the path under his feet.
The world of freedom in his heart.
So clear and lofty.
Blooming and never withering.
Blue Lotus ~ "
All the people and the audience listened quietly, as if they were bathed in the warm sunshine. They could clearly feel the power of the song and couldn't help but be reminded of countless beautiful memories.
This song "Blue Lotus" doesn't have many heroic words in its lyrics, and the melody doesn't have many ups and downs. However, the impact and shock it brings to people is not the slightest bit weaker than "In Spring".
A song, a baptism of the soul!
The whole performance site quieted down again. More than two thousand people froze into lifelike sculptures. No one spoke, no one applauded or cheered. They were all listening and moved.
Until the end disappeared.
Chang Wei suddenly woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream. He grabbed Chen Jianhao's arm hard and said in an unquestionable tone, "Old Chen, I want this song. No one can take it from me!"
ChenJianhao felt pain in his arm. He smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Chang, you have to discuss this with Xiao Lu."
ChenJianhao could understand Chang Wei's excitement.
A truly good song could only be found by chance, especially the kind of classic that could be sung for a long time. Chang Wei did not ask for this song to become famous, but to his bar, this song was simply a priceless treasure!
Imagine a band singing "Blue Lotus" in the Blue Lotus Bar. That kind of scene and scene …
ChenJianhao suddenly felt a trace of jealousy.
Lu Chen actually wrote "Blue Lotus" for Blue Lotus. Why didn't he write "Forget Worries Bar" for Forget Worries Bar?
Chang Wei laughed and let go of his hand. His eyes revealed a crafty look.
"You're his boss, so he has to listen to you. Moreover, he already said that this song is for Blue Lotus."
How could ChenJianhao fall for this trick? He shook his head and said, "He also said that it's for everyone! Actually, Xiao Lu, he … "
"He's quite short on money. As long as you're willing to spend it … Well, don't tell anyone. He's a bit stubborn!"
Chang Wei stared at ChenJianhao.
They're both thousand-year-old foxes, why talk about strange stories!
The meaning behind ChenJianhao's words was very clear. As long as Chang Wei was willing to spend his hard-earned capital, he would naturally be able to win this song. If he didn't want to spend too much, then there was no need to say anything else.
Lu Chen's temper was a bit stubborn!
Chang Wei thought for a bit. He waved his hand and ordered a waiter, "Quickly go backstage and invite Teacher Lu Chen over. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him."
The waiter bowed and replied, "Yes boss, I'll go invite him right away!"
Chang Wei was still worried, so he ordered again, "Remember to be polite!"
"Go!" "Go!" "Go!"
At this moment, familiar cheers once again rang out from the audience. The audience that was moved by Lu Chen's second new song was not satisfied. Instead, they were even more eager to hear that beautiful music again!
It's just that their enthusiasm can't continue to keep Lu Chen.
Lu Chen held his electric guitar and bowed to the audience, "Thank you, everyone, thank you!"
Then, he stepped off the stage amidst the wave of "Go!"
The audience felt regret, helplessness, and sorrow.
Warm applause rang out. It was to keep him here, but it was also to praise him!
Lu Chen's performance tonight could be said to be perfect. One song, "In The Spring" and "Blue Lotus", took all the limelight tonight. All the bands and singers that appeared before him couldn't compare, and he believed that there wouldn't be anyone that could compare either.
Therefore, he couldn't continue to be in the limelight. After all, this wasn't Forget Worries Bar's home ground.
Behind him was the pillar of Blue Lotus, the North Needle Band that had just signed with Light Rain Media!
What Lu Chen didn't know was that while he was walking off the stage, the lead singer and captain of the North Needle Band, Gan Lang, was suffering indescribably in the backstage.
Originally, he had full confidence in himself and the North Needle Band. He believed that they would be able to amaze the world with their two original songs and become the absolute protagonist on the stage, which would be a good start for him to sign with a new company.
In the end, Lu Chen, who went on stage first, used "In The Spring" to crush his confidence to pieces, and then used "Blue Lotus" to make him lose all his courage.
He couldn't compete, he didn't want to compete, and he didn't dare to compete!
What was incomparably ridiculous was that before this, Gan Lang was still condescendingly giving pointers to Lu Chen, not wanting the latter to lose in an ugly manner.
Now that he thought about it, he felt that his old face was flustered.
Gan Lang suddenly stood up and said to Qin Hanyang and Sister Na, "Da Qin, Sister Na, next up, you guys should go on stage. I … I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first!"
Without waiting for the two to reply, Gan Lang turned around and left through the staff passageway. He didn't even greet his own band mates!
His companions were all stunned!
Qin Hanyang and Sister Na looked at each other in dismay.
The two were well aware that Gan Lang was hit so hard by Lu Chen's new song that his mentality was unbalanced. Under these circumstances, it was very wise for him to give up on stage. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sing well.
Regarding this, whether it was Qin Hanyang or Sister Na, they didn't know what to say.
Gan Lang's luck was too bad, or it could be said that the opponent he chose was too strong!
But who would've known beforehand?
"Brother Qin, Sister Na!"
The clueless Lu Chen returned backstage, smiled and asked, "What are you guys talking about?"
Sister Na laughed and opened her arms to hug Lu Chen.
"Xiao Lu, congratulations!"
