There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 14 Birthday
Liang Hui was very angry today, very angry, and wanted to smash the cake in front of her to pieces.

Liang Hui debuted as a child star, and has also filmed popular film and television dramas, and has collaborated with many domestic stars.But from this year onwards, it was the real fire. The "Gong Suo Xin Yu" at the beginning of the year made her popular all over the country, becoming the top "traffic floret" in China.Liang Hui also proved for the first time that she can handle a costume drama with a leading heroine, and established her own "Liang Hui Studio" independently from her agent Zhang Jiajia.

I thought it would be a smooth year, but first my career suffered setbacks. After "Scary Step by Step" was broadcast, "Gong Suo Xin Jade" began to be blackmailed by the whole network, saying that the former plagiarized. mmp, about plagiarism, you can go to the screenwriter, I am an actor, I am not just writing the script, I will act.She is not as good-looking as Liu Shishi in her ancient costume, hey, that's because you don't understand sister's beauty.And other blah blah…

These are nothing, anyway, this lady has come all the way to black and red, as many people hate her, there will be more fans of her.Today is my birthday, and my boyfriend Liu Yikai can't make it in Xiangjiang, this is really unbearable.This is the first time the two celebrate their own birthday after confirming their relationship.

Zhang Jiajia arranged for the staff to order the cake. Liang Hui looked at the 2 and 6 lit candles on the cake, and really had no desire to celebrate her birthday.Looking at the staff in her own studio around her, all of them were smiling and congratulating her on her birthday. As an actor with many years of acting experience, Liang Hui transformed her depressed and uncomfortable face into Surprises and surprises.Forget it, they are also kind.

"Let's finish work early tonight. I invite everyone to drink and karaoke, pack the cake and take it with us. We won't be drunk tonight." Liang Hui announced loudly.

"Manager Lin, it's me, Zhang Jiajia! We have a party in our studio today, and we invite our colleagues to drink. I hope you can reserve a box for me." Zhang Jiajia made a phone call with Lin Yue.

As a popular floret, she definitely can't go to some messy nightclubs, otherwise she will be photographed by the paparazzi, and tomorrow's headline will probably be: "Liang Hui's relationship has changed, and she got drunk alone on her birthday."

Liang Hui had done commercial activities for the "Wangjiangtai" hotel chain before.After getting in touch with her a few times, Shen Hui also likes this girl from Yanjing, who is grand and has the same name as her.I also helped her solve several business difficulties, so she was called a sister.Shen Hui brought Liang Hui to the "Wang Hai" bar a few times, and Zhang Jiajia also knew Lin Yue, and usually asked Lin Yue to arrange a box for some small gatherings.

When Liang Hui brought a group of people to the bar with wide sunglasses, it was already after nine o'clock in the evening, and Manager Lin was waiting at the door of the bar.The business of the bar is very good today, almost full, and most of the customers didn’t notice the group of people coming in. They were quietly listening to the man in a white shirt on the stage playing and singing a rock song that he had never heard before in front of the microphone:

"My home is just inside the Second Ring Road
People here have so much time
They are talking about who's ups and downs

They're watching what brand of cigarette you pull out

The hardworking people in the small restaurant are fellow villagers from other places

their faces are like mine

Cycling on fallen leaves watching the sunset disappear
I can no longer see the Yinding Bridge, I can't see the Naxi Mountain clearly
The lotus in the water has lost its leaves

The moon in the reflection is negotiating with the street lamp
Talking about who will light the fire and cook in the morning
Said that tomorrow morning is to eat fried dough sticks biscuits
......"

As a native of Yanjing who grew up at the mouth of the Hutong, Liang Hui seemed to have returned to her childhood, to the Bell and Drum Towers, and felt the serenity brought by it in the sunset.She thinks she has listened to a lot of songs, and she has also released records herself, but she has never heard this song before. The moving melody and beautiful lyrics made the group of them stop there. Familiar with each other, he asked Zhang Jiajia in a low voice: "This person plays and sings very professionally. Could it be that he is a professional singer? Have you met him before?" Zhang Jiajia confirmed that he did not know him and had no impression.
"My home is just inside the Second Ring Road
My home is on the side of the Bell and Drum Tower

My home is inside this compound
My home, my home, my home is on the top of this earth
"

Shen Fang hummed the last few lines like a raving, and all the customers present were intoxicated by the guitar sound at the end, and no one made a sound. "Thank you everyone!" Shen Fang stood up and bowed to the audience: "This song "The Bell and Drum Tower" is for you all, I hope you have a pleasant night."

Watching Shen Fang's performance end, someone began to notice this side, Liang Hui and the others did not dare to stay, so they hurriedly led people upstairs.

Lin Yue helped arrange it in the innermost large box. The room of nearly [-] square meters can fully accommodate Liang Hui and his party.Two waiters with tight mouths were arranged to be in charge of this box.

"Whatever you want to drink, just order it. Today is my sister's birthday. Please don't go home if you are drunk. If you want to sing, get some yourself." Liang Hui said to her friends present.Liang Hui's studio was established not long ago. Except for Zhang Jiajia and Song Zhiyao who is in charge of public relations, they are basically newcomers in the industry. They are in their 20s and just like to play. It will be lively.

After Shen Fang sang two songs, he came to the bar, poured himself a glass of whiskey, found a place to sit by the side, and quietly enjoyed the performance of the "abnormal band".The handsome guy who is good-looking and drinking alone in the bar attracts more attention from the opposite sex. After a while, several beauties come to say hello with borrowed wine, and one of them even wrote the number on the coaster with lipstick and stuffed it for him.

After Fangyuan saw it, he said unwillingly: "Boss, you have directly increased the difficulty of picking up girls in our bar. In the future, if all beauties use you as a benchmark, then our bar will disappear from Yanjing City's Aventure Ranking."

"Young Master Shen, there is a group of guests in the upstairs box. They are friends of the eldest lady. I arranged them in the innermost." Lin Yue arranged the upstairs and said to Shen Fang beside the bar.

"My sister's friend?" Shen Fang said, "I'll go up and have a look later. You can arrange to serve them some more fruit plates and snacks."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Shen Fang called the waiter and asked about the situation of the box upstairs.There were thirteen people in the box, eight women and five men. They ordered beer, fruit plate and some snacks.They brought a cake with them, probably for someone's birthday.

Shen Fang called Fangyuan and asked him to prepare two bottles of royal salute, and then asked the waiter to send it to the box.

Liang Hui and others were drinking in the box, where several female colleagues booed a male colleague who was singing.At this moment, the door of the box opened, and two waiters brought over two bottles of foreign wine and a dozen glasses.Zhang Jiajia was very surprised when she saw it: "We didn't order these two bottles of wine, did they send the wrong one?"

"At this time, our boss Shen arranged to deliver it." The waiter said.

"Mr. Shen is here?" Liang Hui asked in surprise. "Can I ask her to come over? There are so many people down there, it's not convenient for me to go there."

"Okay, I'll pass it on for you." The waiter turned around and went out, and came to the bar to tell Shen Fang about Liang Hui's invitation.

Shen Fang thought for a while, explained to Lin Yue and Fang Yuan, and went upstairs with the waiter.

Hearing the knock on the door of the box, a female employee near the door opened the door and saw Shen Fang standing at the door, who seemed to be a customer who had just sang on the stage downstairs, so she asked a little vigilantly: "Excuse me Who are you looking for? Did you go to the wrong room?"

"Hello, I am the owner of this bar. My name is Shen Fang. I heard that my sister's friends are playing here. I came here to see if there is any bad hospitality."

"Is it you?" Liang Hui was eating snacks there when she saw Shen Fang who was let in, "Is it you who sang on the stage downstairs just now?"

"Well, it's me. I'm Shen Hui's younger brother. My name is Shen Fang. My sister transferred this bar to me a few days ago." Shen Fang looked at the woman sitting on the sofa, feeling a little familiar.Her facial features are very delicate, her nose is straight, her eyes seem to be talking, and the corners of her eyes are curved, no matter how you look at her, she seems to be smiling at you.

"Have we met somewhere?" Shen Fang asked in surprise.

Zhang Jiajia frowned slightly, and said, "Our Liang Hui is an actress, don't you know her?"

"Actor? Liang Hui?" Shen Fang asked uncertainly, "Little Dongxie? From the Fourteenth Middle School?"

Liang Hui put down the snacks in her hand, looked at Shen Fang, and thought about it carefully: "Jin Dazhuang? You are Jin Ye, Jin Dazhuang. Ha... ha... ha... why did you change your name? I almost didn't recognize it You." Liang Hui laughed loudly, covering her mouth with one hand and pointing at Shen Fang with the other.

If there is a voiceover, Shen Fang should be able to feel a crow "croaking..." flying over his head.

"Hey, we are old acquaintances. I didn't call you by your original nickname. Believe it or not, I'll post it to you on the Internet." Shen Fang said speechlessly.

"How dare you!" Liang Hui's eyes widened, staring straight at Shen Fang.

Zhang Jiajia looked at the two from the side: "You two knew each other before?"

Liang Hui said: "We used to be in the same school. This guy is a monster. He is the same age as me, but he is two grades higher than me. When I was in the first grade of junior high school, he was in the third grade of junior high school. His grades are still poor every year." He was the number one in grade. Back then, he was a grassroots figure in our school. Many little girls chased after him every day. He still pretended to be mature and ignored everyone. Later, the girls gave him a nickname recognized by the whole school' Jin Dazhuang'." What Liang Hui didn't say was that she was already a well-known child star back then, but this guy was the man of the hour in school.

"Hey, my grades are poor, so I have to blame others for being better than you." Shen Fang said angrily, "Why, are you in the entertainment industry now?"

"That's right, her academic performance was poor, and she couldn't get into a good university, so she had to rely on her appearance for a living." Liang Hui said.

Shen Fang bought himself a glass of wine, then sat opposite Liang Hui, looked him up and down: "The threshold of the entertainment industry is really low now."

"Pfft..." Zhang Jiajia just took a sip of wine and spit it out: "What aesthetic vision do you have, our Liang Hui is naturally beautiful."

Liang Hui said to Song Zhiyao who was sitting on the other side: "If we close the door and beat him up, he should be fine. I can't help it."

Song Zhiyao patted Liang Hui's hand: "I'm afraid we won't be able to leave this bar, this is their territory."

Shen Fang saw the cake on the table and asked, "Is anyone celebrating your birthday today?"

"Yes, I'm celebrating my birthday, and I'm so angry with you. Hurry up and make amends, or I'll tell Sister Shen that you bullied me." Liang Hui threatened.

"Don't tell me, we are childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. It would be bad for you to stab your parents like this." Shen Fang laughed.

"We are at most alumni, not even classmates. Can childhood sweethearts be used here." Liang Hui said to Zhang Jiajia who was pulling her, "Don't pull me, I can't help it anymore, I want to beat him."

Zhang Jiajia and Song Zhiyao looked at Liang Hui left and right, and also laughed there.As Liang Hui's closest partners, the two knew that Liang Hui was in a bad mood from the morning, and they came to the bar to drink to make the studio staff not disappointed.This will watch her and Shen Fang fight each other, and feel that the elf-like woman from before is back.

Zhang Jiajia looked at Shen Fang: "Is the song you sang downstairs just your original creation? I haven't heard it before."

Before Shen Fang could open his mouth, Liang Hui said, "This guy has been playing music since he was in school, and he won No.1 in the Yanjing Piano Competition. He was finally admitted to the Huaxia Conservatory of Music." Then he turned to Shen Fang was surprised and said: "By the way, I haven't heard from you for so many years. Where did you go to study?"

"I didn't study further. I went abroad after graduating five years ago. I just came back a few days ago. My sister saw that I was idle and had nothing to do, so she transferred this bar to me so that I could be tied down." Shen Fang said.

"Oh, Mr. Shen is your own sister? I remember your name was Jin Ye before?"

"It's my cousin, the daughter of my uncle's family. After my parents divorced, I have my mother's surname. My name is Shen Fang now, let me go."

"You sing really well, and your songwriting is also good. Are you ready to debut as a professional singer?" Zhang Jiajia asked.

"I don't have such a plan for the time being." Shen Fang took a sip of wine, thought for a while and said, "I'm coming back this time to start a film and television company and make some investment in film and television. Maybe there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"Don't talk about that. By the way, do you still remember the song you sang at the graduation party when you were in your third year of high school? After you graduated, that song was widely sung in school, and Principal Gao was almost mad. "Liang Hui laughed.

Shen Fang thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "The song "Miss Going North"?"

"Yes, it's this song. Many high school seniors will sing this song to the girl they like when they are about to graduate. How about you sing it again?" Liang Hui urged.

Shen Fang looked around and said: "It's not suitable here, there is no accompaniment here, and the sound effect is not very good. If you don't go downstairs, I will arrange a corner for you."

Liang Hui asked for Zhang Jiajia's opinion.Zhang Jiajia thought about it, the light in the bar was not strong, and then Liang Hui was wearing sunglasses, with so many people together, and Shen Fang was the owner of the bar, there should be no safety issues, so she agreed.

"Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements first, and someone will come and inform you later." Shen Fang drank the whiskey in his glass and left first.

"Were you familiar with him before?" Zhang Jiajia asked Liang Hui.

"In the past, there was a school in the school's art club. Every time there was an art performance, he and I would put on a show. He was very good back then. I heard that Professor Jin Hailin of the Conservatory of Music had booked in advance as a closed disciple." As an insider, Zhang Jiajia certainly knows Professor Jin's status in the music industry.

"I don't know if he has the idea of ​​making a debut..." Zhang Jiajia muttered there.

"Stop, you must not have such thoughts. Don't think about being his manager." Liang Hui knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression: "He is different from me. If he debuts, he will naturally have help Li, his grandfather used to be a high-ranking official at the Beijing Film Studio and the General Director of the Guangdian. Several relatives of his family are in the General Director of the Guangdian and the Ministry of Culture. Especially now that he is backed by the Shen family, there is no shortage of resources and funds. "Although Liang Hui didn't have much contact with Shen Fang before, she got to know a little bit in school for many years.

"Oh!" Zhang Jiajia finally came to his senses, this is not an ordinary musician, not to mention anything else, even the behemoth of the Shen family is not something ordinary people can provoke.

"By the way, just now he said that he would set up a film and television investment company, and he didn't know how big it would be. I have the opportunity to learn more about it with him. After all, our studio will also invest in film and television dramas in the future." Zhang Jiajia's heart that had just cooled down It's hot again.

After a while, the waiter informed that the arrangements had been made, Liang Hui talked to her colleagues, and then went down together.Shen Fangrang prepared two booths, one for seven or eight people, and Liang Hui and his party plus Lin Yue, who came to help, sat in two booths respectively.

"Thank you for the wonderful performance brought to us by the Loft Band. We have sung several songs, and it is time for people to rest." Shen Fang arranged for Liang Hui and the others to come to the stage later: "Next, I will sing a few songs for everyone , everyone say yes!"

"Okay!" Many of the customers in the audience were old customers who had heard Shen Fang's performance two days ago, especially the single beauties whose eyes were shining when they saw Shen Fang on stage.

"My little brother is the owner of this bar, so forget about the lady who is going to send flowers, even if you send them to me, I won't get a commission." As soon as Shen Fang finished speaking, the audience laughed.

"Why is he so poor now?" Liang Hui smiled while holding Zhang Jiajia's arm.

"The next song is for a good friend of mine. Although the lyrics are not written for her, it is also our common memory."

"Tch!" Liang Hui yelled towards the stage, causing some people to look this way, but most of them still watched Shen Fang perform on the stage.

The accompaniment of this song is very simple. The soft guitar sound instantly quieted the impetuous atmosphere. The prelude was not long, and Shen Fang's magnetic voice came to the ears of the customers:
"Young students are not talented

not favored by miss
Miss for a long time

don't blame miss

miss go north

Xiaosheng, I look south
this life is over

Unforgettable
I wish you three warm winters

Wish you spring is not cold

May you have lights in the dark
umbrella in the rain
wish you well

May you meet a good man

Warm colors float for the rest of life

accompanied by good people

......"

"This guy's voice is getting better and better." Liang Hui looked at Shen Fang who was performing on the stage. Compared with the youthfulness back then, Shen Fang is now more mature.As a studio singer who has also released an album, Liang Hui said that this kind of talent is beyond her lifetime.

After one song was sung, the applause of "One more song" was heard endlessly. Finally, Shen Fang sang another song "Nan Shan Nan" and an old song by Fatty Song before he stepped down from the stage.

Zhang Jiajia looked at Shen Fang with a look of admiration and said, "Young Master Shen, the two songs you sang just now and the "Bell and Drum Tower" you sang when we came here are all songs written by yourself. You are so versatile. You and us Hui is also an alumnus, and we have known each other for many years, we, Huihui, are also in the entertainment industry, and we even sang the theme song of a film and television drama last year..."

"Zhang Jiajia!" Before Zhang Jiajia finished speaking, Liang Hui yelled to stop.Then he turned to Shen Fang and said apologetically, "Don't worry, she is doing it for my own good."

Shen Fang didn't take it seriously either, and looked directly at Zhang Jiajia and said, "It's okay, Liang Hui and I are friends, and we might cooperate in the future. Let's talk about it when we have the opportunity."
