For the people living in Xiangjiang, the truly exciting part of their nightlife had yet to arrive. The atmosphere in La Dolce Vita 97 was just right.
The LDV Singing King's Award was extremely famous, but it was actually just a program for the bar to entertain itself. The key was to invite customers to participate in it, and anyone could go on stage and show off their singing skills.
However, the situation tonight was different. The appearance of the singer Ye Xuan caused the competition to lose its suspense. However, the other contestants also sang exceptionally relaxed, losing a lot of competition and gaining a lot of joy.
The amateur singers who went on stage according to the number plates were of varying levels. Some of them attracted bursts of warm applause, while others attracted bursts of boos.
He didn't mind being booed and finished singing with a smile. Only then would he be able to receive the small gift that the bar gave to all the contestants — two stacks of German black beer.
Coincidentally, Ye Xuan was ranked 12th, just in front of Lu Chen.
A star is a star. The moment Ye Xuan appeared on stage, the entire bar was in an uproar. Applause, cheers, and whistles rose and fell one after another. There were even female fans shouting his name. It was as if this was his solo concert's home ground, instantly crushing all the contestants in front of him.
Ye Xuan was around 30 years old. He wasn't the kind of handsome guy who met the public's standards, but his skin was fair and gentle. His weak temperament should be able to attract the affection of young women.
After going on stage, Ye Xuan held the microphone and said, "I'm very happy tonight. I was able to meet so many friends here, and everyone likes music. La Dolce Vita 97 is also very good."
"Originally, I didn't plan to go on stage, but since everyone insisted, I can only make a fool of myself."
"I drank a lot of wine today, so I'm not in a very good state. Please don't take offense to my poor singing."
Everyone laughed and clapped, giving him encouragement and support.
Ye Xuan seemed to have obtained strength from the applause, and his mental state instantly rose. His entire person immediately became very different, as if he was filled with vitality and the desire to sing loudly!
"Then I'll play this song for everyone. It's my favorite song, Breaking Dawn!"
The applause instantly became several times more enthusiastic.
Lu Chen was also applauding. He nodded to himself, thinking that his colleague was definitely experienced in controlling the scene.
There were many kinds of singers. Some singers were only good at performing in the recording studio, while some singers performed better in big occasions. Their ability to control the scene was often very strong.
A brilliant singer could easily stir up the atmosphere of the scene and firmly grasp the emotions of the audience. It was very easy to complete a successful performance.
The scene in front of him was very small, but Ye Xuan had only used a few words and the aura he'd brewed to completely turn LaDolce Vita 97 into his home ground. It was obvious that he was well aware of the profoundness within.
You really can't judge a book by its cover!
Ye Xuan's singing ability was also very strong. This "Breaking Dawn" wasn't his own work, but the famous work of Xiangjiang's Heavenly King Liu Gangsheng. It could be said to be a household name in Xiangjiang.
There were many singers in Hong Kong who had covered this song. Because everyone was too familiar with it, the standard of evaluation was very high. If one wanted to cover "Breaking Dawn" without enough strength, he would definitely be asking for humiliation.
"Breaking Dawn" wasn't a fast song or a slobbering song. It had a high requirement for singing skills.
Under the accompaniment of the bar band, Ye Xuan held the microphone and sang very engrossed. His voice was slightly sharp and resounding, and he was able to control the high notes of the song with ease. When it came to the climax of the chorus, it was quite shocking.
If there was a flaw, it would be that the depth of the middle and low voice was not deep enough, causing this classic work to sound a little lacking in thickness and not thought-provoking.
After Ye Xuan finished singing "Breaking Dawn", the entire bar was in an uproar.
"Another song!"
Someone shouted loudly. His words were immediately echoed by countless people.
After singing the difficult "Breaking Dawn", Ye Xuan's forehead was already covered in sweat. He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Thank you everyone. Tonight, everyone is happy. I can't break the rules of the competition, so I can only apologize!"
He inserted the microphone back into the rack, then returned to his seat.
Ye Xuan's friend smiled and said, "I knew it was right to pull you over. This time, I saved at least a few thousand yuan."
There were five or six friends sitting with Ye Xuan. They couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
A girl pursed her lips and laughed, "I should have called for a few more bottles of red wine just now …"
Actually, none of them were lacking in money, but it was always very happy to be able to take advantage of them. Moreover, they had a lot of face to take advantage of.
Ye Xuan modestly said, "Don't be happy too early. There are still a few more to go on stage."
"Tsk!"
His friend disdainfully said, "Unless Heavenly King Liu personally comes, tonight's champion will definitely be you, Brother Xuan!"
This flattery was a bit too much. Ye Xuan could only bitterly smile. He couldn't possibly retort and slap his friend in the face, right?
"I wonder how many more there are …"
The girl looked around and suddenly revealed a surprised expression. "Eh, number 13 is a handsome guy!"
The word "handsome" was quite attractive. Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the stage.
What a handsome guy!
At this moment, the person on stage was the handsome number 13, Lu Chen.
"Good luck!"
Li Zhen clapped her hands with all her might to cheer for her boss. The influence of the beauty wasn't weak either. Many guests gave face and applauded to express their encouragement.
Actually, everyone looked at Lu Chen with a bit of sympathy. Because Ye Xuan's previous performance was so brilliant, the pressure on him was extremely great.
Fortunately, Lu Chen was tall and handsome enough to at least pull back some impressions, especially for the female guests.
"Good luck, handsome guy!"
A crisp voice came from the crowd, causing a burst of laughter.
Lu Chen smiled faintly and asked the guitarist of the band, "Do you have a spare guitar?"
For most guitarists, their instruments were second lives or wives and lovers. Normally, they wouldn't lend them to others to use, which was why Lu Chen asked to borrow a spare one.
The guitarist was surprised. "You want to play and sing by yourself?"
Lu Chen nodded.
The guitarist was very straightforward. He directly handed the guitar he was holding to Lu Chen: "Then use mine. The tone is accurate."
Lu Chen took it. "Thank you!"
He asked for another stool, adjusted the height of the microphone, and sat down.
La Dolce Vita 97 bar became very quiet. Even the bartender put down the wine jug in his hand. They all wanted to see what kind of performance this handsome guy would bring to everyone.
Playing and singing? It seemed like he had some standards.
