Lu Jiuning said playfully, "You want to know? But I can't tell you!"
I said the bet with my old man is off, you'll see later!
Lu Jiuning didn't want to talk about it, and Bei Chen wouldn't force him.
"By the way, your song just now was quite good, beyond my expectations."
Lu Jiuning's version is similar to Tao Hong's version of "I Once Thought of Ending It All," but in terms of technique and completeness, it is superior.
It truly amazed Bei Chen.
You should know that you only have this strength because you have a system attached to you, yet the other party is so young, how could they have this ability?
In his previous life, Bei Chen was 37 years old, and in this life, he is 32 years old.
For a 25-year-old girl like Lu Jiuning, she does seem quite young.
"You heard that! So, from now on, I'm qualified to assist you on stage, right?"
"Yes, we absolutely must have it!"
"Hehe..." After chuckling smugly, Lu Jiuning asked, "Now that you've returned from your seclusion, does that mean the song is almost ready?"
"Of course!" With the release of the popular song, Bei Chen spoke with more confidence.
"However, hearing your performance tonight has given me some more thoughts."
"Perfect timing! I have some songs here that suit you. Would you like to try them?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiuning immediately became excited. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it now!"
Seeing her impatient expression, Bei Chen's mood improved: "Don't rush. If we don't create some buzz like last time, the response will probably be lukewarm!"
"A gimmick?" Lu Jiuning seemed to be thinking.
Lu Jiuning was naturally quick-witted; Bei Chen had already explained it to her, so how could she not understand?
Rubbing his chin, Lu Jiuning fell into deep thought.
Using gimmicks is indeed a viable approach; when used properly, it can be even more effective than imagined.
There are many similar cases where a movie becomes popular because of a person's weight loss.
"Looks like I need to introduce you to someone. He just happened to be at the bar today."
"Who?" Bei Chen didn't understand what this had to do with the topic.
Without saying a word, Lu Jiuning grabbed a tall, handsome young man with a bright smile and pulled him over.
"Look, it's him, my own brother!"
Looking at Lu Jiuning and Lu Jiuyuan, Bei Chen noticed that their faces did indeed look somewhat similar.
"Your family has really good genes; both the siblings are quite good-looking!" Bei Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh, this is the first time you've ever complimented me on my looks!" Lu Jiuning made a face.
Lu Jiuyuan was a little confused; it was the first time he had ever seen his older sister so playful in front of another man.
Who exactly is this masked man?
"Mr. Mask, right? Hello, my name is Lu Jiuyuan, and I am also a singer."
"Hello!" Bei Chen racked his brains and finally remembered that there seemed to be such a person.
He's currently at the level of a second-tier singer, and he doesn't sing many songs, but he's quite good at high notes. Plus, he's good-looking, so he has a group of very loyal female fans.
When Bei Chen left the entertainment industry, Lu Jiuyuan had just entered it.
After Bei Chen withered away, some people predicted that Lu Jiuyuan might become the second Xiao Lanling, but so many years have passed and he has not made any further progress.
He has always been lukewarm and very laid-back, seemingly not very interested in being a first-tier or second-tier singer.
Looking back now, it's no surprise that Lu Jiuning's family is a behemoth.
For members of such families, the entertainment industry is basically just a side project; their laid-back attitude is perfectly normal.
Lu Jiuning patted Lu Jiuyuan's head: "My brother is a good-for-nothing who just hangs around outside all day."
However, because of this, he knows many singers and has extensive knowledge of various matters, earning him the title of "know-it-all" in the music industry.
Lu Jiuyuan slapped Lu Jiuning's hand away in disgust, and said with dissatisfaction, "Sister, I'm not a child anymore. Don't pat my head anymore, or I'll stunt my growth."
Besides, what does it mean to neglect one's proper work?
That's because there aren't many good songs coming out right now. Are we just going to keep covering songs? What's the point of that?
Besides, I didn't call it fooling around; I was getting to know more singers, which not only improved my skills but also allowed me to learn which producers were good, and I could also hear some gossip. Wasn't that great?
Lu Jiuyuan's extensive network of connections is largely due to his background, which makes others eager to associate with him.
"You're coming up with more and more excuses!" Lu Jiuning didn't put his hand down, but instead ruffled Lu Jiuyuan's hair into a mess.
Bei Chen smiled as he looked at the two of them. The siblings had a really good relationship!
Since Lu Jiuyuan has good musical skills, it makes sense that Lu Jiuning can sing.
Bei Chen started imagining things again!
"Alright, let's get down to business!" Lu Jiuning sat up straight.
“I can’t do things in the name of the family, but my brother is an exception. My father will turn a blind eye, and I can use his connections.”
Xiaoyuan, I remember you have a friend who's a leading figure in the electronic music scene.
Lu Jiuyuan didn't answer, but instead held up his glass: "My wine is gone!"
Lu Jiuning was so angry she almost gave him a good whack on the head. When will he ever be serious?
"Okay, I'll refill it for you right away!"
Lu Jiuyuan was somewhat satisfied; one should have the right attitude when asking for help!
"There are 100 top DJs abroad and 20 top DJs in China. My friend is Jiang Zhong, who is ranked 18th."
Lu Jiuning continued, following Lu Jiuyuan's words: "Mr. Mask has no reputation in the electronic music industry. It's too difficult for him to quickly create a persona and get the outside world to accept it."
So I'd like to invite Jiang Zhong to our bar to listen to our songs, and also to take advantage of his popularity.
Bei Chen immediately understood; it was simply a matter of leveraging existing momentum!
"So, Xiao Yuan, will you help me with this?"
Lu Jiuyuan did not refuse: "I will definitely help, but whether they will come or not, I don't know."
The person who got to sit in the 18th DJ position isn't stupid; they can naturally guess what Hive Bar is trying to do.
Without hooks, how could you possibly catch them all?
Bei Chen tapped the table twice: "How about this, I'll send you a sample later. You can forward it to the other party; I believe they'll be interested..."
The best weapon to attract musicians is, of course, songs.
If it's a good song, the other party will surely take the bait.
"Okay, then there's no problem."
"By the way, sis, are you and Mr. Mask in that kind of relationship?" Lu Jiuyuan had been holding back for a long time before finally asking the question...
