This fat man reminded Liang Liang of that infamous director of terrible movies from Xianggang.
The fat man rolled like a ball to Chen Min's table.
"I had no idea you, Brother Min, would grace me with your presence! My apologies for my rudeness!"
"Fatty Cui! How come you've gotten even fatter in just a few days! If you keep getting this fat, you won't be able to walk anymore."
"Hehe! Brother Min is joking. Come on! Bring Brother Min a dozen of the best non-alcoholic wheat beer, put it on my tab."
This shows that Chen Min has a lot of authority here.
"Fatty Cui! My little band wants to borrow your stage to sing a song, is that okay?"
The man called Fatty Cui patted his chest and said, "No problem! The stage has been cleared, and your friend can go on stage to perform now."
Liang Liang suspected that the fat manager's chest was leaky, because the sound he made when he patted his chest was like a broken drum with its skin ripped off.
Liang Liang glanced at Chen Haojun again.
Chen Haojun thought Liang Liang was scared.
"Why are you afraid to go on stage? You were so full of bravado when you were bragging just now."
"hehe!"
Liang Liang chuckled and stood up, preparing to go on stage with the Blue Shark band.
"I want to sing a song that gets my blood pumping!"
"Xiao Liang! Just sing your song 'The Feeling of Flying'," Chen Min interjected.
Chen Haojun is not easily fooled, and he's quick-witted.
"Songs my dad has heard don't count. I just said I was going to sing a song that nobody has ever heard before!"
Liang Liang now wanted to beat this arrogant brat to death.
If this kid refuses to listen, Liang Liang plans to incite Chen Min to beat him up.
Anyone who dares to argue should be beaten to death; this guy deserves to be slapped.
Liang Liang and the band members walked onto the stage, and some people in the bar watched them.
These days of singing wherever I go are truly unpleasant.
The equipment was already prepared on the stage, and it was all high-end stuff.
It took a few minutes to tune the instruments, and Liang Liang discussed what songs to sing while tuning them.
That bastard Chen Min wants to hear new songs; songs that have already been sung are unacceptable.
This is clearly just causing trouble.
Once I've got you under my thumb, I'll definitely buy you a pair of shoes, two sizes too small to be safe.
Creating a new song isn't difficult; the challenge lies in rehearsing so many songs that you don't know which one to sing.
In a few years, society will call this phenomenon a happy problem.
Once the instrument is tuned to the appropriate channel, the song selection is basically complete.
Liang Liang stood in front of the microphone, holding her bass guitar.
He originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided against it and just sang.
My heart is pounding, my love is burning!
Liang Liang suddenly pulled this stunt with a hoarse voice.
There was no accompaniment.
Everyone in the bar who wasn't prepared was unanimously startled.
Some people sprayed their liquor like a shower of flowers.
After Liang Liang finished singing a line a cappella, Liu Yuyong's guitar and Liang Liang's bass almost simultaneously played a strong bass note, and then Xiao Yu's drums began to beat.
The accompaniment is in 4/4 time, like a metronome, and uses a DJ rhythm.
Riding across the vast desert
Leaving behind the rolling loneliness.
My love, are you thinking of me?
I place my deepest longing in your heart...
The song called "Love Fire" was originally a female version in the previous life, but now Liang Liang is singing it in a male voice.
Compared to the sharp and delicate voices of women, male voices have a more robust and desolate quality, which naturally makes them more impactful.
Compared to the original song, Liang Liang didn't lower the key and sang it all the way down in high notes.
My heart is pounding, my love is burning.
My passion runs free
The wind is howling, and passion is burning.
I'll chase you to the ends of the earth...
At first, everyone in the bar was completely bewildered, as the style of this song was nothing like that of popular Hong Kong and Taiwan songs.
Unlike Hong Kong and Taiwan love songs, which are like gentle drizzle, this song is like driving an iron spike into your heart, giving you a bittersweet feeling.
Next up was the band's backing vocals, which used a rap style.
I want to tell you that I only love you.
My emotional commitment is waiting for the outcome...
Chen Haojun initially didn't take it seriously at all.
However, Liang Liang's initial shout of "My heart is beating, my love is burning" without any accompaniment really startled him.
It features a strong, disco-like rhythm, a cheerful and powerful melody, and catchy lyrics.
Unconsciously, Chen Haojun's body began to sway involuntarily to the rhythm.
He had to admit that the song was incredibly moving.
Didn't you see people already dancing and singing with drinks in their hands in the bar?
Some women have begun to behave in a dissolute manner.
Hey! It was your love that ignited my heart.
Hey! Your passion warmed my loneliness.
Hey! It's your embrace that lets me go and have fun.
Hey! It's your heartbeat that leaves me nowhere to escape.
This song is five minutes long and uses many different singing techniques. Liang Liang's performance of it is truly moving.
As Liang Liang finished singing the last line, screams and shouts mingled with the sounds of beer flying everywhere in the bar.
It's almost turned into a wine-splashing festival.
When the bar quieted down, Liang Liang and the band members had already returned to Chen Min's side.
They only went on stage to sing a song to prove something to Chen Haojun, so they left the stage after singing.
Chen Haojun's face was flushed, just like someone who had drunk too much alcohol.
Liang Liang didn't say anything, but just stared at Chen Haojun without blinking.
"This song...was it really created by you?"
Chen Haojun suddenly started to stutter, and his speech became somewhat slurred.
The impact of this song on him was like a landslide.
Not only the song itself is impactful, but also the technical skill of the band's musicians.
Unexpectedly, the musicians in this band are all highly skilled; they are all experts.
The bass guitar that young man I just looked down on is good enough to rank in the top five in the entire Hong Kong music scene.
He seems qualified to be his teacher.
"Have you heard of it elsewhere?" Liang Liang asked expressionlessly.
"No!"
"Since there isn't one, then it must be something we did."
"I also want to make and sing songs like that."
"It's simple. Follow my guidance and you'll find the world is full of sunshine."
Chen Haojun nodded.
"So, can we have a proper talk now?"
Chen Haojun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Chen Min was very happy to see that his usually quiet and decisive son had become well-behaved.
This time, the kid has finally met someone who respects him.
"I need to know something about your situation. Since you want to form a band, you must have something you're good at playing instruments. Tell me what you're best at?" At this moment, Liang Liang's face was as calm as still water.
I was only being a little obsequious to this guy because of his father; now I don't need to give him those fake smiles anymore.
"Lead guitar!"
"Hmm! Anything else?"
"You can also be a keyboardist."
Holy crap! This guy can even use a keyboard! I just don't know how good he is.
"I need to assess your skill level. Why don't you come to Jinmeng Company at eight o'clock tomorrow morning so I can see what you're capable of?"
Although he might have been recording songs at that time, Chen Haojun's skill level is still worth checking out.
