Chapter 24 Staying at the Hotel
Chapter 28 hotel stay

Sun Hao looked at the current scene of City B. Although it is not as grand as later generations, it is still very spectacular. After all, it is the center of politics, economy, culture, scientific research, education and international exchanges in the country. This city with a population of 700 million is very prosperous. .

Before I got to the door, I saw a big sign with a row of "XXX bands" written on it, with the words Haotian Band inside, and some of them were probably from other cities.

Sun Hao and others walked over, and saw that the person holding the sign was a beautiful little girl, and there were several equally beautiful girls beside her, all about seventeen or eighteen years old, it seemed that it was arranged by the organizing committee of the competition Miss Manners.There are many people beside them, who also seem to be players from other bands.

"Hello, we are members of Haotian Band." Sun Hao walked over and said to the pretty girl holding the sign.

"Hello, we are the staff responsible for this reception task. Please follow this one, and then we will arrange everything for you." The beautiful girl holding the sign smiled sweetly after hearing Sun Hao's words , pointing to another girl next to him and said.

"Wow, Ah Hao, we really came to the right place this time. The girls staying at the hotel are all so beautiful. Is there any special service after arriving at the hotel?" While drooling, he whispered to Sun Hao.

"You just stay here, you are so old, you know this, if you want to arrange it, you have to arrange it for an adult like me, and it's cool for an underdeveloped child like you to stay there." Song Chunfeng heard from the side Lu Yifei took the words and said sarcastically.

Fortunately, the hostesses next to them didn't hear what they said, and they were still standing there waiting for the team they led. At this time, an equally beautiful girl came out from inside and said to Sun Hao and the others: "Hello, I It's the person in charge of your band this time, my name is Li Yuting, you can call me Xiaoting."

"Hehe hello, I'm happy to help you. Would you mind telling us where to stay at night? How to live? Are you going to be with us... Ah! Brother Feng, why are you stepping on me?" Lu Yifei As soon as he saw the beautiful woman approaching, he hurriedly expressed his love to the girl, but Song Chunfeng next to him couldn't listen anymore after talking halfway through. If he let this kid continue talking, the image of Haotian Band will be completely ruined, and they will definitely be there tomorrow newspaper, so Song Chunfeng interrupted Lu Yifei in time before Lu Yifei finished speaking.

"Oh, that's right, all our contestants this time will be arranged in the Hilton Hotel in Wangfujing." Li Yuting said to several people.

Wangfujing, the name Sun Hao is very familiar with, because every time he comes to BJ, he can’t find a place, he only knows Wangfujing, so every time later generations go to B city, they have to take a taxi to Wangfujing to find a place to live After that, the action begins.

Wangfujing starts from Dongsi West Street in the north and ends at Chang'an Street in the south, with a total length of only over 1000 meters. It is the famous "China's No. [-] Street" and a must-see for tourists to B City.

Sun Hao remembers that in 1999, the section from Jinyu Hutong to Dongdan Street on Wangfujing Street was planned as a pedestrian street, and became a sister street with the famous Champs Elysées Avenue in Paris. The pedestrian street where the Oktoberfest is held has become a simulation and imagination of the European continent.

Just as the Bund is the architectural exhibition hall of City S, the various department stores gathered on Wangfujing Street are also like fossils accumulated in different rock formations, showing the consumption landscape of City B in different eras.However, BJ people may be more fond of the B City Department Store, which opened in 1955.In the era of lack of material in the past, shopping at the BJ Department Store, known as "the first store in New China", was like dining at the nearby BJ Restaurant. The Department Store of City B is to the people of City B, just like the Kinkoji Market is to the people of Kyoto. It is full of symbols of New Year’s joy. No matter how novel and stylish the Oriental Plaza is, it still cannot replace the Department Store of City B in the hearts of BJ people. .In fact, if you want to say that it has a long history, Dong'an Market is really well-deserved.In the 29th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, in order to rectify the city appearance of Dong'anmenwai Street, the Qing government gathered nearby vendors in the abandoned Eight Banners Army training ground, thus forming Dong'an Market, which was also the starting point for Wangfujing to become a commercial street in the future.

The newly rebuilt Dong'an Market is of course no longer the same as it used to be, but in the random memories of the older generation of literati, we can still see the lively scene of old Dong'an gathering Jixiang theaters, bookstores, restaurants, and hawkers.Most of the shops in Dong’an Market that year are gone now, only Donglaishun on the fifth floor, the old BJ Street on the first basement floor, a street of Chinese time-honored brands, and statues of singing operas, shaved heads, and rickshaws placed in front of the new Dong’an Gate. clues to the past.

Sometimes the trick history plays is not disappearing or forgetting, but letting something exist in an unexpected way.In fact, the most European style of Wangfujing is not the pedestrian street, but the Catholic Church "East Church", which has stood here since 1655 and has been rebuilt many times due to earthquakes and fires.

Now "East Hall" still has a fixed time for watching mass, but because of its classical European architectural style, it makes it an excellent place to take wedding photos. The nimble wedding photographers simply put a car outside "East Hall" The pink antique car serves as the background, and the scene of the combination of religious halls and fragrant cars and beauties is as surprising as a respectable old man wearing a pink bow tie.The name of Wangfujing is said to be because there is a palace and a well here.The well that had been buried was rediscovered in 1998 when the road was repaired, and it is located at the west of the north end of the pedestrian street.In fact, the current Wangfujing Street was once divided into three sections. The section from Dongsi West Street to Dengshikou Street was called Wangfu Street, Dengshikou West Street to Jinyu Alley was called Bamiancao, and Jinyu Alley to Chang’an Street was called Wangfu Street. Well Street, these roads were combined and called "Renmin Road" when "*" was used, and it was renamed Wangfujing Street in 1975.

In Yuan Shikai's era, Wangfujing Street was once turned into Morrison Street. It is said that the reason was that the British reporter wrote an article to praise Yuan Shikai. In order to reward him, Wangfujing Street where Morrison lived was changed to Morrison Street.Now from the old photos, we can still see a group photo of Morrison and his Chinese servants in front of the residence. Of course, this house located on the south side of the department store in City B is now gone.Whether it is spiritual food or appetite, Wangfujing has everything.This is the reason why later generations of Sun Hao always come to Wangfujing every time he comes to City B. There is everything here, and it is more convenient to do whatever he does.

After a while, almost all the bands participating in the competition have arrived. Sun Hao found that these bands are different from those in H City. You don’t need to look at anything else. You can see it from the equipment bag. A good musical instrument comes with a bag. No one is willing to put a bag worth tens of dollars on the musical instrument he bought for thousands of dollars, because it will damage the musical instrument.

This time there are seven bands including Sun Hao's band, and if you add the local bands from City B, there are ten bands, and all of them are masters, so it is more difficult to achieve a good result this time. It's difficult, besides, it is said that the venue for this competition is the stadium for [-] people in City B, and the competition will be played live in the form of a concert. There will be a lot of spectators, so Sun Hao's pressure will be greater.

For several months, they didn't know each other at this time, so they didn't have much communication, but because Sun Hao and the others were the youngest in the group, everyone focused on them. Haodu could hear them discussing in a low voice.

"Look, how can there be such a young band, do you think they are masters?" One of them asked the other members of their band.

"I don't see it. How can such a young child be a master? Even if you practice them from elementary school, how long can you practice? Besides, the span of the little finger is not enough, and it must not be very flexible in playing." After looking at Sun Hao and the others, they came to such a conclusion.

"But this time it's not national in nature, they must be the champions of a certain city, otherwise how could they enter the national top ten this time?" Another person heard the conversation between the two and came over to discuss in a low voice.

"It can't be *, right? He came in by virtue of his relationship? Or he had an acquaintance in City B, so he came in. Anyway, I don't believe that such a young child will be higher than our level." Said Sun Hao and the others The young man whose little fingers were not flexible continued.

In short, no one can believe that Sun Hao and the others are capable. What everyone is curious about is that the finals are the champions of each city. How did this group of children get in.

However, Sun Hao and the others ignored these discussions, because Sun Hao knew that most people would think that they were the strongest, and would think that the other party was inferior to them when they did not see that others were better than themselves. Only then will you understand, but at that time you will dismiss it and say: "Isn't it just better than me? What's so great, I will definitely surpass you one day." Human psychology is like this. Where did Sun Hao not understand the thinking of these people?

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the hostesses began to arrange for all the bands to gather together, and then everyone walked out of the waiting hall together. Sun Hao saw a large number of cars parked in the parking lot at the door, and almost lost sight of them. I can't see the end, I guess if there is no Miss Manners to lead the way, it will be a problem for me and these people to go out
Under the leadership of Miss Etiquette, everyone came to several buses. The ten bands boarded three buses respectively. Without saying much, the car drove towards Wangfujing, looking at the bustling city outside the window along the way. , Lu Yifei and the others were very excited, but because there were other bands in the car, Song Chunfeng told Lu Yifei that they should keep a low profile. The band, it seems that they are also coming to City B for the first time, and they all see everything new, and they are making a big noise at the moment.

"Wow, look, what a tall building."

"What a wide street."

"There are also foreign girls, damn it, I just want to take one back tonight."...

Hearing these words, the black line on Sun Hao's head immediately came down, who are these people.

After driving for 10 minutes, I finally came to the hotel where the bands "stayed", the Hilton Hotel. Sun Hao has visited this hotel several times, but because the room prices are relatively expensive, they are all about 3000 to [-] yuan. One day, so haven't stayed too many times.

At this time, a large group of entertainment reporters who had already received the news were waiting at the gate of the Hilton Hotel. The entertainment reporters at this time were not as tough as the paparazzi of the later generations, but they were almost the same. Before stopping, he came over with a clatter, clacking and clapping, causing several bands in the car, including Sun Hao and others, to be a little scared by this posture. Sun Hao is better, after all, the band formed by himself in later generations They are more or less famous, and they are not nervous when facing reporters, but some bands from small cities have never seen such a battle, and some simply lie down, so that reporters can't take pictures of themselves.No one dared to get out of the car for a while.

The reporters in City B were crazy enough. When they saw that no one was getting out of the car, they kept urging the driver to open the door.

After a while of confusion, finally after the police arrived to maintain order, the car door opened slowly. Under the leadership of Miss Manners, Sun Hao and the others got out of the car one by one.
