Everyone sat down at a small table near the small stage because their arrival actually had a little impact on the singing. Zhou Zhi felt embarrassed, so he raised his hand and called the waiter, giving him a "Great Unity" and asked him to hand it over to the girl singing on the stage.
After that, everyone started ordering wine and drinks. The main ones were foreign wine and cocktails. Zhou Zhi was not very interested, so he also ordered a bottle of mineral water.
The waiter put the tip on a small platform in front of the girl and pressed it on a short-legged glass cup. The girl witnessed all this while singing, nodded to Zhou Zhi, and continued to complete her singing.
The original song of this song was originally a male voice, but now it is performed by girls, which has a unique flavor.
Mai Xiaomiao hasn't heard English songs for a long time, and now after hearing them, she can't help but hum gently.
"Empty likes to sit in bars?" Matsui Zao smiled and said, "It seems that you are very familiar with this bar."
"No." Zhou Zhi waved his hand and said, "But he had been with others before and knew some rules and tricks. This girl sang well."
"It seems that the bars in Houhai like to sing English and Japanese songs." Ikedaqiu joined the chat: "Except for folk songs and rock."
"Folk ballads and small bands are indeed more suitable for bar atmosphere." Zhou Zhi said: "As for English and Japanese songs, it is more for showing off skills. After all, some of the arts still need to use the original lyrics and original tunes to have that flavor, such as the "Star" by Tanimura Shinji. When Tingting sings and tunes, she also has to sing the original lyrics to have that charm."
The song is so popular now. Guan Tingting can perform very well in three languages and three flavors. In the last chorus, she switched and integrated freely, injected her own style, and won her many awards.
However, there are not many people who order that song in karaoke. Most of the people who order it will skip the Japanese paragraph or use humming instead, because no one knows Japanese very well.
As I was chatting, the girl had finished singing the song. She walked down from the stage, stopped at several small tables, chatted with the guests for a few words, and finally walked to Zhou Zhi and the others' table and thanked Zhou Zhi: "Thank you for your reward just now. Haven't you seen you before?"
"Hello, this is my first time here." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I just entered the venue halfway and disturbed other guests to appreciate your singing. I'm really embarrassed."
"We were originally serving everyone." The girl smiled and said, "Sir, you are so polite."
"You sang so well." Mai Xiaomiao praised: "Even John Denver's southern accent is brought with you."
"Ouch!" The girl covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm not good at English. I've learned it from MP3. I don't know what a southern accent."
John Denver is a famous American country ballad singer, German born in Roswell City, New Mexico. Growing up in the South and moving to Los Angeles, singing in the City Folk Club began his career as a singer.
Now John Denver has become synonymous with country music, and his record has won 24 Golden Record Awards and 4 Platinum Record Awards. In the history of American country music, its status is unrivaled. However, what Chinese people are most familiar with him is the masterpiece of this country folk song "TakeMeHome, CountryRoads", which is at least familiar to the college students.
Many singers start by imitating the original singer, so it is not surprising to learn the accent of the original singer. For example, Jacky Cheung’s Mandarin pronunciation is actually a bit strange, but Zhou Zhi once learned it vividly in his last life.
"Sing well." Zhou Zhi also thought it was good: "Especially speaking with female voices, it has another flavor."
"If you like any song, you can order it." The girl said, "We can sing for the guests."
"I want to listen to Fool's Garden's "LemonTree". "Mai Xiaomiao heard that she could order songs and reacted very quickly: "You must be very good at singing."
"Lemon Tree"?" the girl asked confusedly, "No, I have never heard of the band you mentioned." Lemon Tree is the first country song sung by the Fools Garden Band on December 4, 1994. It was included in the album "Dishof the Day" released in May 1995. After its release, it became popular in Europe and the United States with the east wind of the digital platform, making this originally unknown German 5-player band famous.
However, if this song is well-known to the majority of Chinese people, it must be covered by Su Huilun.
Zhou Zhi didn't know that Su Huilun's tape was actually released just one week later, so he introduced: "This is a German band. "LemonTree" is an English song they released, and it has not yet become popular in China. It's normal that you don't know, it's because my companions have asked too close."
"Or it's OK to change to "The SoundofSilence" or "IfICould". You will definitely do these two songs."
"The Soundof Silence" is an interlude to the movie "Graduate" and was released in an old song in 1964.
"IfICould" was actually called "Eagle Flying", ElcondorPasa, which turned out to be a South American Peruvian folk song that resisted the Spanish colonists. It was later adapted by Paul Simon's re-singing group and covered in English. In 1970, Paul Simon wrote the lyrics again, making it a world-famous song.
Both songs are widely sung in China, and there are no singers who can raise folk songs that don’t know these two songs.
"These two songs were sung by boys a lot. I can sing "The Soundof Silence", but the chords are not very good." The girl smiled.
"Is "IfICould" played well?" Zhang Siluo asked suddenly.
"I played "IfICould" well." The girl nodded: "But I usually accompaniment for my partners. Today he asked for leave."
"Why don't you get on the elbow!" Zhang Siluo suddenly became excited and encouraged him.

"Yes, yes!" An Chunjia immediately applauded: "On the elbow! You will definitely know this song!"
"It's just right!" Mai Xiaomiao also applauded softly: "This song is very good, but he can only play simple chords, and now it's just right."
"This..." The girl hesitated a little. This is a music bar, not a karaoke. If the customer doesn't sing well and goes on stage, it may affect the business and cause trouble.
"No, right?" Zhou Zhi saw the girl's embarrassment: "We are here to listen to music today. We want to listen to me singing, we will go to karaoke another day."
At this time, a young man wearing a suit and vest came over: "Ms. Zhang, Miss Ikeda, long time no see."
"Mars, you're here just in time." Zhang Siluo seemed to be very familiar with the visitor: "We have a partner who wants to collaborate with this lady with a song. Can you arrange it?"
"Of course it can be arranged." The young man like the foreman agreed: "Xiaoyu, Miss Zhang is our VIP guest. This requirement is nothing to do. Get ready quickly. Whose gentleman is it?"
Everyone pointed at Zhou Zhi: "He!"
Zhou Zhi was speechless, and he said as if I wanted to sing!
Xiaoyu smiled. She had a good impression of Zhou Zhi's gentle and generous rewards. Since the boss was not afraid, she was of course happy to accompany him.
Take off the straw hat from his head and buckle it on Zhou Zhi's head. Zhou Zhi immediately felt a bit like a country singer. Xiaoyu was even more satisfied: "Come with me." (End of this chapter)
