Liang Liang was dragged onto the stage in a daze.
"Why did you pull me up here? I wasn't planning on singing!"
He just came out tonight to relax, so what's the point of putting him on stage?
"The audience is full of your fans, Yahe. You finally made it here, how can you not sing?" He Suoju actually had the nerve to talk back. If it weren't for the large audience, I would have kicked him off the stage long ago.
"Liang Liang! Liang Liang!"
People in the audience started calling out Liang Liang's name.
He Suoju's words weren't without merit. You are a true member of the local community, and everyone in the audience is eagerly watching you. It would be really inappropriate if you didn't sing a couple of songs.
After chatting with her brother, Xu Mei looked around for Liang Liang and found that he had run onto the stage. So she went outside to applaud Liang Liang.
"Liang Liang, keep it up!"
Liang Liang thought for a moment and then beckoned Xu Mei over.
Xu Mei has been practicing the piano for seven or eight months. Although her skill level is not yet up to par for a big stage, she has already been trained on small stages in the countryside.
Liang Liang planned to take this opportunity to let her perform on a formal stage.
As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and Xu Mei is that newborn calf. She stood on the stage without any stage fright.
Li Jun took the electric guitar and handed it to her.
A pretty young woman appeared on stage, and the eyes of the men below the stage widened in disbelief. Even if the lights were turned off right now, the hall would still be as bright as day.
Despite the noise, Liang Liang could clearly hear the sound of someone swallowing.
Xu Mei slung her guitar over her shoulder and tuned it according to her own habits.
Liang Liang chose two songs that both the Hongya Band and Xu Mei could play: "Harvest" and "Hometown".
To be honest, Liang Liang's performance tonight was a bit mechanical; in other words, he didn't put much emotion into it and just sang the two songs in a very conventional way.
Because I wasn't mentally prepared to go on stage beforehand, I wasn't very engaged while singing.
But the audience still responded with enthusiastic applause.
"Fellow villagers of Yahe! To be honest, I came to the Oriental Song and Dance Hall today to accompany my friends to broaden their horizons. I was not prepared to sing on stage. Because I was unprepared, I didn't sing with much passion. I hope you can forgive me! I will only sing these two songs today. When we have time, our Blue Shark Band will return to Yahe to hold a concert to give back to our hometown folks."
After Liang Liang finished speaking, he clasped his hands together, bowed to the audience, and then stepped off the stage.
However, he did not take Xu Mei off the stage, but left her with the Hongya Band so that she could practice with them.
Liang Liang can accompany almost all of her songs, except for the newest ones, so there's no question of whether she can or not.
The same situation applies to the Red Cliff Band.
Judging from the accompaniment of the two songs just now, she blended in with the Red Cliff Band very quickly, and there shouldn't be any major problems with the accompaniment for the next songs.
Even if there are some minor flaws and mistakes, few people can hear them. After all, most people don't know much about music, and not everyone understands it.
Liang Liang returned to the drinks area and sat quietly in a corner to watch the performance on stage.
It must be admitted that Xu Mei does have some musical talent.
For three generations, no one in her family had anything to do with music, but it seems like a miracle happened in her generation. She was very quick to accept, understand, and realize the value of music.
She started learning guitar last August or September, so it's only been about eight or nine months, but her skill level is already comparable to people who have been playing guitar for two or three years.
Even Xi Hai, the guitarist for the Red Cliff Band, wasn't much better than her.
If she weren't still in school, she could really join a band to gain experience.
Qin Wenju and Liang Liang are sitting at a table while you watch Xu Mei's performance.
Although Xu Mei is only fifteen years old, she is already 1.69 meters tall.
This is considered quite tall for a woman, and she is also exceptionally beautiful.
In addition to her skillful guitar playing, if the Oriental Dance Hall could have someone like her, how could its business not thrive!
"She and you are a perfect match. I hope she will be your future partner!" Qin Wenju finally unleashed her trump card after holding back for so long.
Liang Liang rolled her eyes at Qin Wenju: "Have you ever read about Magistrate Qiao's matchmaking sprees?"
"I haven't seen it!" Qin Wenju denied it outright.
Actually, she had seen it.
"You're just setting up a marriage between two strangers."
"I'm telling the truth. I have a feeling that you two are a good match and look like a married couple."
"Can you stop worrying so much about what kind of partner I'll find in the future?"
Qin Wenju smiled gently.
"I want this girl. Have her come to the Oriental Ballroom!"
Liang Liang shook his head: "Your little temple can't contain her. She might become a god-level figure in the future!"
What is a "master"?
"It means being the most outstanding person in a certain field."
"Can playing guitar make you a guitar master?"
"There are also great guitarists, and she may become one of them in the future."
Will you mentor her and help her debut in the future?
Liang Liang fell silent.
The entertainment industry is a big melting pot, and Liang Liang wasn't sure if letting Xu Mei step into it was the right choice.
"Maybe! If I don't bring her into the industry in the future, I will definitely bring her here to you."
If Xu Mei only becomes an ordinary musician in a dance hall in the future, Qin Wenju or her own dance hall would be the best place for her to establish herself.
To live a simple, ordinary life in a small nightclub...
That possibility is really slim.
Just look at the energy Xu Mei has when she performs on stage; she's not someone who's content with a quiet life.
Does Xu Mei have a penchant for performing? Why is she standing on the stage and not coming down?
By eleven o'clock, if Liang Liang hadn't called her, she probably would have stayed until the event ended.
"You're not going to school tomorrow? You're still playing around! Go say goodbye to your brother, we're going home!"
"I haven't had enough fun yet!"
"If you don't go back, your mother will beat you to death."
"How about I sleep in your tent? That way my mom won't be able to hit me."
Liang Liang was startled: "Yes! That way your mom really can't hit you, but believe me, I'll beat you to death too!"
Xu Mei giggled and went to say goodbye to her brother.
Unexpectedly, his brother also came out.
They came in a crowded car, but it was much more spacious on the way back.
Qin Wenju had already driven her Volga to the entrance of the dance hall.
Xu Mei, Xu Hebin, and Sui Fulu sat in the two Volga.
Xu Hebin and Sui Fulu haven't been home for a long time, and they'll be off work soon tonight. They'll go home to stay for the night, and as long as they're back by 7 p.m. tomorrow, it won't interfere with their work.
Although there were two more people than when we arrived, the extra car actually made things much easier.
