Chapter 32: Blue Lotus Bar

May 23, Saturday, sunny. The sky seemed to have just been washed, incredibly clean, and there was not a single white cloud on the pure blue screen, which felt unreal.

Even though Beijing has made great efforts to improve the environment and eliminate pollution in the past few years, and has long since gotten rid of the nickname of "haze capital", such blue sky is rare on weekdays, which makes people feel relaxed.

Although it is not the hottest season, the girls in the city have already changed into beautiful summer clothes, and their short skirts are fluttering on the streets, showing off their long legs and youth willfully. "Dachen!"

Li Feiyu ran over breathlessly with a suitcase in his hand, and shouted to Lu Chen who was standing by the road admiring the scenery: "Let's go quickly, if we go too late, someone might take our place!"

"Dachen" is the new name given to Lu Chen by Xiao Feige. He used to call him "big singer", "Xiao Lu", "brother", but now considering that Lu Chen's status is different from before, he has considered it carefully and finally decided on this name which he thinks is very meaningful.

According to Li Feiyu, people with status are all named "Da" or "Ye". Lu Chen is not at the level of "Ye" for the time being, but "Da" is fine, and people won't look down on him if he calls him that.

Lu Chen, Lu Chen, calling him Dalu is not nice and easy to be misunderstood, so he is called Dachen.

Lu Chen was really at a loss for words. Li Feiyu's mouth was a sales mouth, which was known as one of the seven weapons in the workplace. He had no choice but to let it go.

"I've said it three times. Our positions are fixed."

Lu Chen was helpless: "It won't be taken away by others. It's really too early to go now."

Tonight, the Blue Lotus Bar in Houhai will hold a music carnival night event. The title sponsor is Qingyu Media Company. It is said that the scale is very large and it is the most grand one in history. Many people in the circle have been invited.

Lu Chen was also among the invited singers. When the people from Blue Lotus asked him if he had any requirements, he thought about it and asked for a VIP seat. At the same time, he hoped that Blue Lotus would allow him to broadcast the music night live on the Internet.

That's right, the program in Lu Fei's live studio tonight is Qinglan Music Night!

This idea came up when Chen Jianhao told Lu Chen about the invitation. Nowadays, the content of online live broadcasts is becoming more and more diverse. Sitting in front of the computer every day, singing and telling jokes, the audience and fans are easily tired of it, so we must come up with something new.

The Light Blue Music Night where he will perform on stage is undoubtedly a great gimmick!

In order to achieve his goal, Lu Chen did not hesitate to tell the people of Blue Lotus that he could give up the performance fee.

He believed that the rewards from the fans would be enough to make up for the loss.

However, the people there were really generous. Not only did they agree to all of Lu Chen's requests, but they also paid a penny less!

Blue Lotus's Music Carnival Night has never banned filming, and even actively put the live video on the Internet for others to watch, in order to enhance the influence of the event.

So Lu Chen successfully got a VIP seat. He did not sit in this seat himself, but gave it to Li Feiyu.

Because someone must help with live broadcasts, Xiao Feige is naturally the most suitable and only candidate.

After Li Feiyu found out, he was so happy that he started to prepare two days in advance.

In fact, outdoor live broadcast is very simple, which can be done with a 4G smartphone, but Li Feiyu was not careless at all. In addition to the ready-made high-definition camera and high-quality microphone, he also bought matching tripods, camera boxes, sound filters and other equipment.

Of course, Lu Chen must have paid for these things, and they will be useful in the future.

"It's better to go early than late, and prepare early!"

Li Feiyu said with a smile: "I have heard about the Blue Lotus Music Carnival Night a long time ago. It is very lively. Xiaomei has been there. This time I told her about it as a VIP live broadcast. She said she would watch it in our live broadcast room at night!"

He was so excited that he revealed his tail unconsciously.

Lu Chen asked curiously: "Didn't Xiaomei resign? Are you still in touch with her?"

Xiaomei is the receptionist of the 4S store where Li Feiyu works. She is beautiful and charming and has many admirers. Li Feiyu is one of her secret admirers.

Speaking of which, Li Feiyu started live streaming because of Xiaomei's influence. It is said that the latter earns tens of thousands of yuan a month from live streaming, and she doesn't even plan to work in a 4S store anymore, and wants to be a professional live streamer.

"Don't mention it!"

Li Feiyu said regretfully: "Xiaomei's live streaming room was blocked for violating regulations, but she didn't resign."

Although he sounded very regretful, there was no regret on his face, but he looked very happy.

Lu Chen laughed dumbly and didn't say much.

The Xiaomei, who had never met before, was obviously not a good match, but Li Feiyu liked her, so he didn't say much.

"Taxi!"

Li Feiyu waved and stopped a taxi that had just passed by.

The two rushed to Houhai together. The taxi drivers in Beijing were familiar with that area. After telling the address, they drove to the parking lot outside the Blue Lotus Bar.

The predecessor of the Blue Lotus Bar was a small factory of the street office. After the city was renovated, it formed its current structure. In front of the bar is a bustling pedestrian street, and behind is a rippling artificial lake.

Unlike the Forget-Me-Not Bar, all the parking lots of the Blue Lotus Bar are connected to a two-lane asphalt road, so it is very convenient to enter and exit. Whether it is weekdays or holidays, there are no empty seats if you go late, and the business is very hot.

The most enviable thing is that a large house, a larger parking lot, and the land ownership were bought by Chang Wei, the owner of the Blue Lotus Bar, early. If he quits and sells the property, he will never spend it all in three lifetimes!

But Chang Wei never had such an idea. He has always run his own bar very attentively, and he is even more chivalrous. People in the industry circle all give him a thumbs up.

The music carnival night starts at 7 o'clock in the evening. Now it is not even 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and many people have come early like the two of them. Some of them are Lu Chen's colleagues, but most of them are spectators.

The venue and stage have been arranged, and there are many lights, sound systems, and LED giant screen backgrounds. Many staff members are busy doing the final debugging work, and some are also maintaining order.

After getting off the car at the intersection, Li Feiyu's eyes were wide open: "Damn, this is simply a concert scene!"

The parking lot is large enough, even if part of it is used as a stage, it is still no problem to accommodate two or three thousand spectators. This is the only place in Houhai that has the strength to hold such a large event.

"Excuse me, are you here to participate in the performance?"

A staff member on the scene came over and asked politely.

"Yes!"

Lu Chen took out his ID card and VIP ticket for the other party to check. The Blue Lotus Music Carnival Night has been held many times, and it has always been very formal. You can't get in without an ID card or audience ticket.

He even noticed a blue and white police car parked not far away, which should be sent by the local police station.

After checking the card ticket, the staff said, "Please follow me."

Under the guidance of the other party, Lu Chen and Li Feiyu crossed the parking lot and entered the Blue Lotus Bar.

The layout and decoration of the Blue Lotus Bar is undoubtedly much more luxurious than that of the Forget-Me-Not. The length of the wavy bar alone is more than twice that of the latter. The wine racks are filled with a wide variety of drinks, and the upside-down glasses are shining under the light.

The bar is divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The T-shaped performance stage is very international. The background giant screen is at least 500 inches. The various lighting and sound equipment arranged ingeniously are amazing.

Since the event was held at night, it was not open inside. The ground floor hall was used as a temporary backstage, and different blocks were divided for singers and bands to use.

The Forget-Me-Not Bar is located on the right side of the bar. Three wine tables are put together to form a long table, which gives a large area.

Of course, Lu Chen was not the only one who performed on stage for the Forget-Me-Not Bar that night, but the members of the Wandering Band and Sister Na had not arrived yet, and there were not many singers from other bars. After Lu Chen put his guitar away, he and Li Feiyu went up to the VIP area on the second floor.
