Chapter 34: Who steps on whom!

Lu Chen was puzzled when someone suddenly patted his shoulder. He turned around instinctively and saw Sister Na appeared behind him without knowing when. There were also Qin Hanyang and the other four members of the Wandering Band! Lu Chen couldn't help but feel delighted: "Sister Na, Brother Qin, you are all here?"

"Yes!"

Sister Na smiled and said: "Da Qin and I have something to do in the bar. Fortunately, it's not too late now, and you came early."

Qin Hanyang nodded and suddenly asked: "Xiao Lu, do you know Xiao Cheng and the others?"

"Xiao Cheng?"

Lu Chen was stunned: "Brother Qin, are you talking about the guy just now?"

This time it was Qin Hanyang's turn to be surprised: "You really don't know him? That's Cheng Xiaodong, the lead singer of the Fit Band, who is resident at the Flame Rose, a very popular team recently."

This was the first time Lu Chen heard of Cheng Xiaodong's name, but he was familiar with the Flame Rose.

The Flame Rose is a very famous bar in Sanlitun. It is very large and the business is very hot.

It is said that the Fiery Rose was first opened in Houhai. Because the management style was incompatible with the atmosphere of Houhai, it moved to Sanlitun a few years ago and started over. Everyone in the circle knows it.

An interesting thing is that many bars in Houhai are named after flowers and plants, such as Blue Lotus, Forget Me Not, Hyacinth, Dandelion, etc., which are different from the foreign and alternative names of Sanlitun bars.

The same is true for the Fiery Rose. It has not changed its name after moving to Sanlitun.

Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know him. I haven't even been to the Fiery Rose. This guy suddenly came to me."

He didn't say Cheng Xiaodong's provocation to him, but Qin Hanyang should have seen the other party's throat-wiping action.

Sister Na said thoughtfully, "Xiao Ye seems to be quite familiar with the Fit Band."

There is no need for a heavy hammer to beat the drum. Sister Na's reminder may be a bit obscure, but Lu Chen understood it as soon as he heard it.

Xiao Ye is Ye Zhenyang, the resident singer of Forget-Me-Not.

Qin Hanyang said: "Let's sit down first. We have to sing well tonight. This time we will be on stage for a long time."

The Blue Lotus Music Carnival Night is well-known in the circle. Singers in bars don't want to show their faces on stage and try their luck, but the performance time is always limited, and there are often too many people and too little time allocated.

Singers of Forget-Me-Not have performed many times before, but they were only given 15 minutes of performance time at most.

This time, the Light Blue Music Night was the most grand, and it was sponsored by the new media company in the industry. I don't know how many people wanted to squeeze in and get familiar with the face.

Forget-Me-Not was assigned two singers and a band, with a full 30 minutes!

Even Chen Jianhao said that Boss Chang was really giving face.

As for how to allocate time, Blue Lotus doesn't care. They only arrange the order of the singers' appearance.

Everyone sat down together around the table.

Qin Hanyang said, "The performance is about to start. Let's allocate the time on stage first, Sister Na?"

It is important who allocates the time. As the eldest brother in the Forget-Me-Not, Qin Hanyang is naturally the one who should do it, but he still has to respect Sister Na's opinion.

Sister Na said, "I will just sing one song, give me 5 minutes, Xiao Lu 10 minutes, two songs!"

Under normal circumstances, the allocation of time on stage is arranged according to the status of the circle. Qin Hanyang and Sister Na will sing two songs, and then leave one song for Lu Chen. A total of five songs and 30 minutes are just right.

The duration of singing a song is usually about 4 minutes, and 5 minutes are enough for entering and exiting the stage and saying a few words.

A single singer is enough, but the band will be more troublesome, so half of the time is given to Qin Hanyang's hesitation.

However, Sister Na actually gave up her time to sing a song for Lu Chen, which was really unexpected!

Lu Chen said quickly, "Sister Na, one song is enough for me."

Sister Na smiled and said, "How can one song be enough? You and Cinderella, my deskmate, it would be a pity if one song is missing. We should let everyone know that our Forget-Me-Not has a talented singer. I will sing the song you wrote for me!"

Qin Hanyang nodded and said, "Sister Na is right. The song you wrote for her is very good!"

In Lu Chen's impression, Qin Hanyang is a serious singer. As the lead singer and captain of the Wandering Band, he spends most of his time in the Forget-Me-Not with the band members hiding in the small suite, not paying attention to the outside world, and only comes out when it's time for the performance.

Lu Chen has worked in the Forget-Me-Not bar for three years, and the number of times he has spoken to this big brother is not as many as now!

So when he heard Qin Hanyang's praise, Lu Chen actually felt a little flattered.

"I'm lucky to have met Xiao Lu!"

Na smiled happily and said, "Xiao Lu, I've asked Da Qin to help me arrange the music for this song. I'll be on stage with the Wandering Band tonight, and they'll accompany me. The rest of the time is up to you!"

Speaking of arranging music, Lu Chen was really ashamed. Although he had countless classics in his memory, it was no problem to sort out the melody score, but it was beyond his ability to re-arrange the music.

The main reason was that Lu Chen lacked accumulation in this area, and he also needed to study hard to recharge himself, otherwise he would only be able to write melodies but not arrange music in the future, which would be easily criticized.

No matter what, Na insisted and Qin Hanyang had no objection, so the time for Lu Chen's two songs was set.

The lead guitarist, bassist, drummer and keyboardist of the Wandering Band all looked at Lu Chen with "you're lucky" eyes, which made him very embarrassed.

Qin Hanyang picked up the form on the table that Lu Chen had not read yet, glanced through it, and frowned.

Sister Na was very sensitive: "What? Is there a problem?"

Qin Hanyang shook his head and said, "The problem is not a big problem, but Xiao Lu's arrangement on stage is not with us. In front of him is the Fit Band, followed by the Compass Band, and then it's our turn."

According to past practice, singers from the same bar will be scheduled to perform together, because many singers will be accompanied by their own bands, such as Sister Na and the Wandering Band.

And the situation where they are deliberately separated like Lu Chen is rare.

Sister Na didn't care: "Is this okay? Xiao Lu's singing and playing skills are most suitable for solo!"

Qin Hanyang pondered and said, "I heard that this music carnival night is mainly to promote the Compass Band."

The Compass Band was founded two years ago. The band's lead singer Gan Lang is a very talented singer. He is currently signed to the Blue Lotus Bar. The Compass Band is famous in the circle for its light rock style and is much more famous than the Wandering Band.

Qin Hanyang got the news that the Compass Band has changed its contract with Light Rain Media Company. This Light Blue Night is held to promote the Compass Band. It will be officially announced at the end of the performance.

Light Rain Media even invited a group of industry insiders and media reporters.

Therefore, the performance of the Compass Band in the evening must be the top priority of the carnival night. Lu Chen is ahead of them, and the recently popular Fit Band is ahead of them. It seems to be attacked from both sides.

Qin Hanyang and Na Jie were both experienced people. They understood after analyzing for a moment. The latter hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Lu, do you want to sing a different song?"

Both the Fit Band and the Compass Band follow the rock style. Their singing is definitely passionate and can easily arouse the emotions of the audience and drive the atmosphere of the whole venue.

If it was the Wandering Band that was inserted in the middle, Qin Hanyang's experienced skills would completely hold the scene. But if Lu Chen went up with a guitar to sing "My Deskmate" or "Cinderella" when everyone was excited

I guess he would be booed off the stage after singing a few sentences - the style is completely wrong!

The audience who came to participate in the music carnival night are not fans of someone. If they think it is not good, they will boo directly. Few singers can persist in such a shameful situation.

Qin Hanyang agreed: "Yes, change to a more exciting song, our band will accompany you!"

The order of the ranking has been determined. It is definitely not okay to change people temporarily. That is disrespectful to the organizer, but it is completely fine for the band and the singer to go on stage together.

With the help of the Wandering Band, Lu Chen's momentum will definitely not be bad, but the two original songs can only be given up.

At this time, Lu Chen would not understand that he was being used as a stepping stone. No wonder the people from the Fit Band came to provoke him just now.

"Thank you, Brother Qin, thank you, Sister Na, but I think it's okay for me to go on stage by myself!"

Lu Chen was very grateful for the kindness and reminder of Qin Hanyang and Sister Na, but he did not have any intention of backing down.

Instead, he was completely aroused to fight!

Want to step on me? Then let's see who steps on whom!
