Riding the wind of rebirth

In the last life, Zhou Zhi just followed Guan Tingting to nightclubs. Those venues were far from the level of Peace Dove Nightclub, and the boss never paid much attention to male singers. No one made such a request to Zhou Zhi.

"I do." Zhou Zhi nodded.

"I'm not talking about the "Edelweiss" kind." Sister Fang laughed.

"Edelweiss" is indeed an English song, but it is an English song that has been rotten on the street. Zhou Zhi feels that the popularity of this song is second only to the London Bridge falling down.

"Is the 'Hotel California' kind okay?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"You can sing "Hotel California"?" Su Fang's eyes lit up: "Where did you hear this song?"

Zhou Zhi was too embarrassed to complain about Su Fang's words. The Eagles' record won the [-]th Grammy Record of the Year Award in [-]. It is a proper old song.

It’s just that after the spring breeze opened the door for so many years, foreign pop music began to enter the inland, and everyone chooses their favorite music, including rock style, folk style, non-electronic pure music language " Highway Hippie" undoubtedly caters to the tastes of the Chinese people.

However, although the song is classic, the lyrics are very weird. Fortunately, many people only listen to the melody and not the lyrics. Many college students who sang this song can't understand the meaning of the lyrics, and they sing purely for singing.

Although the creator and lead singer Tang Henry believes that this song is the beginning of the innocence and maturity of writing, in Zhou Zhi's understanding, this song is a portrayal of a fighting spirit that is finally replaced by vulgarity and decadence.

The singer sympathizes with the passing of a thing with a sense of the world, and uses lyrics written in an abnormal state to describe a twisted world that is grotesque, dirty and ugly, "you can pay for a while, but you can't leave forever".

"Brother Elbow has a lot of English tapes," Guan Tingting said, "I also gave a lot to Master and me."

Now people in China only know Madonna but not Diana Ross, Paula Abdul and Whitney Houston, only know Michael Jackson but not Billy Joel, David Bowie, Prince, George Michael's era, Zhou Zhi got a lot of tapes of foreign singers through Jack Lee's channel, and then recommended to Guan Tingting some female singers who he thought could be learned by Tang Qi and Guan Tingting.

Su Fang should be more into hippies, Zhou Zhi tried to name two names she should know: "The Beatles and the Beatles are both my favorites."

"Then try "Hotel California." Su Fang smiled and said, "Go, go!"

"Hotel California" was actually created by Tang Henry at Zhou Zhi's age, but many people don't understand the background and think it's a dying middle-aged uncle talking about his illness, because what everyone is familiar with is the reorganization of the band in [-]. In that version, the uncles are all fifty years younger at this time.

What Zhou Zhi is singing now is the version on the 20 Golden Melody Disc, and his voice is more than [-] years younger.

"On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair..."

Similarly, Zhou Zhi is the same as singing Cantonese songs, the singing is full of a "sense of freedom" that comes from being extremely familiar with the language.

It is obviously very different from the original singing, but you can tell when you hear it, his "authentic" pronunciation is completely different from the "precise imitation" of most people.

Su Fang hid her feet under the coffee table, and tapped her toes lightly with the rhythm. I admire this kid but I can't let him see it...

Many nightclubs now have one or two singers who can sing Cantonese and English, but so far, at least in Shudu, there are not many such good singers.

It's not that their singing skills are bad, it's just that their accents are too "plastic", which leads to a serious loss of points.

This elbow is a bit of the opposite. The singing skills can't be compared with the professional ones, but the extra points for the accent are too strong.

Su Fang has visited both Guangdong Province and the capital. The singers in Guangdong Province sing Cantonese, and the foreigner singers in the capital sing foreign languages. The charm of elbow singing is similar to them.

Moreover, this kid also knows two "foreign languages". Of course, this "foreign" refers to foreigners outside of Shuzhou, and he can be regarded as a "comprehensive talent".

Also, this kid is quite slippery, and he couldn't see the ability to debug equipment just now, but he is undoubtedly familiar with the equipment, so this should be counted... "one specialty and many abilities"?

After Zhou Zhi finished singing "Hotel California", Su Fang said, "Actually, the guitar riff in "Hotel California" is too long. At this time, the singer has nothing to do on stage. This song is not suitable for nightclub performance."

I'll go, if it's not suitable, then you still ask me to sing?Zhou Zhi couldn't help being speechless.

"However, it can be seen that your English singing skills are very good." Su Fang smiled and said, "I think you can try it out. I will give you three songs a night, one in Cantonese and one in English. The rest is up to you.”

"You have to prepare the accompaniment yourself, depending on how familiar you are with the equipment, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"No problem, I can prepare it myself."

"There are also costumes and make-up." Su Fang said: "In principle, you have to prepare the costumes yourself. Tingting used her master's dress, how about you?"

"Uh, this... can I rent it from a bridal shop?"

Su Fang gave Zhou Zhi a blank look: "Forget it, you guys come with me."

When she came to a place similar to a dressing room, Su Fang put a cigarette in her mouth, and opened a wardrobe: "It seems that the body is about the same size, try it, if you can wear it, I will give you the costumes in this wardrobe."

"Ah?" Zhou Zhi felt a little sudden.

Su Fang took out a black suit from the closet, and saw that the fabric and style were relatively high-end. The collar of the suit had a reflective effect like silk, and every button was wrapped by hand, which was very delicate.

"Sister Fang, why don't I prepare it myself?"

"You little brat, what a pretense!" Sister Fang reprimanded, "If you don't catch the cigarette butt on it, it will burn you."

"Give it to me." Zhou Zhi quickly took it.

"Go behind the screen and replace me."

"Oh."

When Zhou Zhi came out from behind the screen, Guan Tingting's face revealed a look of surprise, but her smile was a little greasy.

"Why? Why are you laughing like that?" Zhou Zhi felt a little terrified by Guan Tingting's eyes.

Su Fang got out a bottle of hairspray from somewhere, hit Zhou Zhi's head a few times, and then scratched a few times: "Tingting, how are you doing?"

"I think it's okay." Guan Tingting admired Zhou Zhi earnestly: "Just need to hit him on both sides. All the male students in our class are uglier than Brother Elbow, but they are more particular than him."

Su Fang looked at Zhou Zhi in a daze at first, but now she burst out laughing: "That's it, these... Forget it, this room is for your use, and these clothes are for your elbows, the figure is quite suitable .” (End of this chapter)
