Chapter 104 Singing in a Nightclub

Even if Beyond's development was delayed by two or three years, they shouldn't have released two albums by September 1993.

Beyond has only released two albums so far, which greatly surprised Liang Liang.

No wonder they always get silver medals but never gold medals.

Liang Liang remembers that they had an album called "Modern Stage" which should be available now.

The album included two love songs, "Innocent Trauma" and "Cold Rainy Night," which marked the beginning of Beyond's unique approach to love songs.

The time difference is quite large; by this calculation, there is a nearly three-year time gap between this life of Beyond and their previous life.

If we follow this time difference, everything that happened to them should be postponed, so does that mean Huang Jiajun's death date should also be postponed?

It turns out that he died in June 1993.

If this assumption holds true, then June of 1995 and June of 1996 would be the months he should be particularly wary of.

Liang Liang knew very little about the Beyond band in this life. When Su Ennan and the others arrived tonight, he would ask those people from the countryside a lot of questions.

After Liang Liang agreed to let them learn musical instruments, Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao immediately put their learning plans into action.

Xiao Yao naturally became Xiao Yu's disciple, but it wasn't easy for her to become this disciple because there was an additional condition.

If Han Chui comes again, she must stand up like a warrior and drive him away, and she will not rule out using extreme measures.

Although this matter is not easy, with Xiao Yu's promise that she would take responsibility if things went wrong, it doesn't seem like such a big deal.

If Han Bangchui comes to cause trouble again, she'll beat him with a stick until even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

Compared to the additional methods she used to become an apprentice, Xiaoqian's apprenticeship was much simpler. Liu Yuyong readily agreed without any conditions attached.

This made Liang Liang very suspicious that the two of them had once had an affair.

Although they had apprenticed to learn the craft, they still had to work as waitresses at night, and could only study the art in their spare time.

Sui Fulu and Xu Hebin really didn't have much talent in music, but ever since the Haiyun Dance Hall got a bartender and a pastry chef, Liang Liang had them learn bartending and pastry making from the two masters.

If you study hard, it's not impossible to find a job that pays over 10,000 yuan a month in the future.

Su Ennan went home, greeted everyone, arranged accommodations for Luo Hui and the others, and then went to the Haiyun Dance Hall after dinner.

They arrived around seven o'clock, and the dance hall was already packed with hundreds of people.

Su Ennan was surprised that there were so many people at the Maritime Ballroom.

The peak hours at nightclubs are usually around 9 or 10 o'clock, but it's only 7 o'clock and there are already more than 100 people here.

The Blue Shark band was playing accompaniment on stage, and a man in his thirties was standing in front of the microphone, indulging in his fantasies of being a pop star.

The Blue Shark band's accompaniment was absolutely fine, but the man's singing was nothing to write home about.

Because he lacked breath support, he sounded a bit out of breath while singing.

After the man finished singing, Liang Liang quickly put down his bass and left the stage.

Anyway, these amateur singers are having a blast on stage, so having less bass won't affect the performance.

"How much does it cost to sing a song?" Su Ennan asked after Liang Liang sat down next to him.

"Five yuan for accompaniment with a jukebox, ten yuan for accompaniment with a band, and three yuan for just yelling into a microphone."

Su Ennan smiled.

"That's interesting. So how much do you guys earn for lunch now, and how much for dinner?"

"My normal income is a little over a thousand yuan, not counting tips and rewards. Brother Nan! Tell me more about the Beyond band, the more detailed the better."

Su Ennan couldn't understand why Liang Liang would be so interested in a Hong Kong band that wasn't particularly famous.

"You'll have to ask Brother Luo Hui about that. After all, I'm not from Hong Kong, and I've only been in Hong Kong for about six months. I don't know much about things in Hong Kong. Brother Luo is a veteran in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, so he knows a lot."

Luo Hui also didn't understand why Liang Liang was so interested in the band Beyond.

Since Liang Liang was interested, he decided to tell him everything he knew about the Beyond band.

Unfortunately, we had only been talking for a few minutes when some songs by the Blue Shark band started playing over there.

Liang Liang had no choice but to go on stage.

After singing a Peking Opera mask song, Liang Liang sang a song he had never sung in a formal setting before, "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses".

Now that Su Ennan's album has been released, he can finally sing the songs that Su Ennan sold.

"Does everyone know who sang the song I just sang?"

Whether it's a pirated or genuine copy, Su Ennan's cassette tape is already available in the market in Lianwan City, and many people know who the original singer of this song is.

"Su Ennan!" shouted a large crowd from the audience.

"Brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts who came to the Haiyun Ballroom tonight, you've really hit the jackpot today! I don't know why it's such a coincidence, but Mr. Su Ennan is also here tonight. Would you like to ask Mr. Su Ennan to sing a couple of songs for us?"

Only an idiot would refuse such an opportunity to get up close and personal with a singer.

Amidst the cheers and jeers of the crowd, Su Ennan prepared to go on stage.

His assistant stopped him: "Brother Su! This might not be appropriate. We have a contract with Yidong, so we can't just perform like this."

"What kind of performance is this? It's just having fun with my fellow villagers in my hometown. What's wrong with that? Don't worry about them."

Su Ennan went on stage in high spirits.

When the audience saw Su Ennan actually appear on stage, their applause almost lifted the roof off.

"Nan Ge is the pride of our Lianwan City. His new album 'Find a Word to Replace' was just released a week ago, and it has already achieved five-platinum sales in Hong Kong and Taiwan. His albums are also sold in mainland China, but most of them are pirated. I hope everyone can buy the genuine version. It's only five yuan more. It's not easy for our Lianwan City to produce a singer. I hope everyone will support him."

Liang Liang's words warmed Su Ennan's heart.

"Next up is Brother Nan, who will be performing his new album's title track, 'Find a Word to Replace It.' Please give him a warm welcome."

Liang Liang led the applause, which was thunderous.

Accompanied by the Blue Shark Band, Su Ennan earnestly sang two songs, "Find a Word to Replace" and "My Heart Wants You to Hear It".

Li Zhizhou was also there tonight, and Liang Liang asked him to take some photos of Su Ennan. These photos will be enlarged and hung on the walls of the Haiyun Dance Hall corridor, becoming a symbol of the Haiyun Dance Hall's glory.

Although the audience remained enthusiastic, Su Ennan could no longer continue singing.

Unlike Liang Liang, who can sing anything without any special skills, her voice is very precious.

Although Su Ennan only sang two songs, she still received a tip of 300 yuan.

However, Su Ennan didn't take them, but instead gave them all to the waiters at the Haiyun Dance Hall.
