Xu Wei was admiring each musical instrument displayed as a sample in Haiyun Music Store.
Yamaha's keyboards, timpani, and electric guitars; ESP's electric guitars and basses; and Roland and Kawai products.
Of course, there are also domestic low-end brands, such as Phoenix, Hongmian, and Meisheng...
Xu Wei recalled the scene when he bought his first electric guitar four years ago.
In 1990, he wanted to buy an electric guitar, and his parents really supported him, taking out all their savings of six thousand dollars to let him buy the guitar.
At the time, there were no electric guitars for sale in Xi'an, so he went to Guangzhou and found a guitar he liked in a music store that was priced at 8,000 yuan.
Xu Wei went to this shop every day to look at and touch the instrument, and even helped the owner sweep the floor and wipe the windows. After getting to know the owner well, the owner sold the instrument to him for a purchase price of 4,700 yuan.
Thinking of Xu Wei feels like a lifetime ago.
In a corner of the guitar section, he saw an acoustic guitar that looked significantly inferior to those from reputable manufacturers.
Xu Wei picked up a wooden guitar and gently plucked a string.
The workmanship is somewhat rough, the paint on the body is unevenly baked, the polishing of the soundbox is not done well, and the tone is average.
"I made this guitar; the quality is just so-so. Please excuse me, Brother Xu."
Xu Wei paused for a moment: "Brother Bi Sheng! You can also make guitars?"
"I just learned it! I didn't know how to do it more than a month ago!"
Xu Wei was a little taken aback. He had only learned how to make guitars in a month?
"Brother Bi Sheng! You mean you've only been making guitars for a month?"
"A month is a lot, but less than two months is about right."
Xu Wei perked up: "Although this guitar is very ordinary, considering that you have been making guitars for less than two months, I think this is a remarkable achievement."
Bi Sheng shook his head: "This is nothing. Xiao Liang can even make electric guitars."
Xu Wei's eyes immediately fell on Liang Liang.
This guy can even make electric guitars?
At this moment, another employee in the music store finished get off work on time, said goodbye to Liang Liang and Bi Sheng, and went out.
"Stop staring at these things, it's time to go eat. After dinner, come to our dance hall tonight and experience life."
Liang Liang didn't dwell on the matter of making electric guitars. He brought Xu Wei here not to make him interested in making guitars.
He seems interested in carpentry.
Liang Liang brought him to Lianwan, but he fell in love with making guitars...
What kind of situation is this?
You're a future superstar. What if you develop a liking for making guitars here? Who can he complain to?
"Brother Bi Sheng! Lock the door and let's eat together. Let the other customers come over; the chef there makes authentic food."
Bi Sheng locked the door, and then the three of them went to eat.
Wang Fan disappeared as soon as he got back to the nightclub, so he didn't get any food.
The three of them spent almost an hour eating.
By the time we finished eating, it was already past six o'clock, and the dance hall was preparing to open for business.
Back at the dance hall, Liang Liang temporarily arranged for Xu Wei to stay in his room, which had a sofa bed. He would make do on the sofa bed for the night and then arrange a room for him at the music school the next day.
After arranging the rooms, Liang Liang led Xu Wei into the dance hall.
Although it was only 6:30, there were already some customers in the dance hall.
Although the Haiyun Dance Hall is not a high-end consumption venue, it has become a popular gathering place for young people in Lianwan City.
Liang Liang led Xu Wei directly to the lounge behind the dance hall.
Xu Wei was surprised when he entered the lounge. The lounge was about 60 square meters in size and there were about 30 people sitting inside.
The area was filled with smoke and looked very crowded.
"These are the bands that are about to perform. Let me introduce them to you. This is the number one resident band in the nightclub, Black Island Band. This is Reef Band. This is Bohai Bay Band. This is Three-Legged Cat... Hey! What are you guys doing here?"
The Sanjiaomao band once filled in at the Haiyun Dance Hall, which was when the Haiyun Dance Hall was reported to the authorities.
They haven't come back since.
"Why wouldn't you welcome me?" Zhou Xue, the lead singer of the Sanjiaomao band, said with a nonchalant air, glancing sideways at Fei Liangliang.
"Big sister! Can you show me some respect? Don't dart around like that. I'm still a flower of the motherland, don't corrupt me. I'm very happy that your band is here. Welcome to perform at the Haiyun Dance Hall often. Hey! Sister Zhou Xue, who is this pretty young lady?"
Hidden behind Zhou Xue was a girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with very delicate features.
"My cousin! She's a DJ. See if your dance hall needs a DJ?"
"So young and already DJing? Really?" Liang Liang expressed her skepticism.
DJ dance halls, once common in the east, west, south, and north, are now available, but dance halls in the north are still quite rare.
"My cousin lives in Dongguan. One of her tenants is a DJ who has lived there for two years, and then my cousin..."
"Alright! No need to say more, I know. I know whether your cousin can DJ or not. What I'm curious about now is why she's not staying in Dongguan, but here?"
“Our band stayed in Dongguan for a few months a while ago, but we didn’t make a name for ourselves, so we came back. My cousin came with me during her vacation and was going to stay here until school started, so I brought her here. I hope she can earn some money for her trip home this summer, otherwise I won’t have the money to send her back.”
The saying "It's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away" perfectly describes Zhou Xue's situation.
What's your cousin's name?
"Lin Hanrui".
Does she have the equipment?
Zhou Xue shook her head.
Liang Liang thought for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll take care of the equipment. Let your cousin stay here. As for how much to pay her, I'll decide after I see her skill level."
"Thank you, Brother Liang!" Lin Hanrui said sweetly.
Liang Liang shamelessly replied, "You're welcome."
He's usually the one who calls others "sister" or "brother," so this time someone finally called him "brother," and of course he had to accept.
"This is Xu Wei, a friend we met during our trip to Xi'an."
Liang Liang also introduced Xu Wei to the band waiting in the wings.
Han Chui swaggered in at that moment, paused for a moment when he saw Liang Liang, and then looked overjoyed.
"Boss! You're back? I've missed you so much!"
Liang Liang immediately raised his foot, preparing to deliver a side kick.
Because Han Chui looked like he was about to come over and hug him.
"Don't move! If you dare come any closer, I'll kick you to death across the face!"
The two people's actions made everyone in the lounge laugh.
"You've come at the right time. This is Xu Wei, a friend I met in Xi'an. I'm handing him over to you now. You'll be responsible for getting to know our dance hall."
Han Chui thumped his chest loudly: "Don't worry about leaving it to me, I guarantee I'll take good care of him."
"Brother Xu! This is our band's manager, Han Chui. He will give you a detailed introduction to everything about our nightclub. You can trust the things about the nightclub, but you can only believe half of what he says about the rest."
Xu Wei was dumbfounded. He believed it only halfway? How could he possibly believe it?
