The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Then go ahead, but I'll watch you, don't try to mess around."

"Great."

Dinner was soon over, and except for three people who didn't want to go, a group of fourteen people headed towards the bar that Xiao Hong mentioned.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 317 Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen, Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong quarreling

"Captain, didn't you say that the bar was not formal, too chaotic, and you didn't want to go? Then why are you following me?"

On the way, Qiu Shui teased Hou Pu with a wicked smile.

Hou Pu said seriously, "I am the squad leader and I have to play a leadership role. I went with you to urge you and supervise you so that you won't go down the path of breaking the law and committing crimes. I have good intentions and am feeding the tiger with my own body. Do you understand?"

"You're still feeding the tiger with your own body? Haha, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you, squad leader, your face is really getting thicker and thicker."

Houpu's words caused everyone to laugh.

After teasing Houpu for a few words, Qiu Shui ran to Xiao Hong to flatter her and asked her about the situation in the bar.

Zhao Yingnan and Zhou Chen were walking at the end. She looked at the laughing classmates in front and asked Zhou Chen with some concern.

"Is it really okay to go to a bar? I also heard that bars are quite chaotic."

Zhou Chen said, "It's true that bars are poorly managed nowadays and are full of filth and dirt, but we have more than a dozen people and Xiao Hong knows the people there. As long as we don't cause trouble, there shouldn't be any trouble. And I'm willing to go to the bar because today is our engagement day. I'll give you a surprise when we get to the bar."

"Surprise? What kind of surprise can there be in a bar?" Zhao Yingnan was a little unconvinced.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there."

"So mysterious." Zhao Yingnan didn't know what Zhou Chen was planning.

The bar was not far away, so they wandered along and soon reached the street where the bar was located.

It was already night, and the street was full of lights and people. It was obvious that this was a place for fun. There were many people coming and going, but most of them were young people, some in their teens, some in their twenties and some in their thirties.

Some of these people looked very young, like students, while others were elite white-collar workers. The men were dressed in suits and the women were dressed up to their heart's content. All kinds of demons and monsters appeared.

When they saw the situation here, many people felt a little timid.

“It looks like a mess here, doesn’t it?”

Xiao Hong said, "What are you afraid of? It's the same everywhere. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. Look at those people. They dare to come alone. There are so many of us. What do we have to worry about?"

"Now that we're here, let's go."

Xiao Hong brought everyone to the destination, which was a bar covering a large area. Xiao Hong led the group of people into the bar.

Zhou Chen thought there would be a charge for entering the bar, but he found out that he was overthinking.

This cannot be blamed on him, mainly because he had never been to a bar in the 90s. He just heard people say that in some places, women could go in directly, but men had to pay for a ticket to enter.

He didn't know whether it was true or not, but as for the bar they came to today, they didn't pay for the entrance fee.

As soon as I entered the bar, I heard a loud roar. All kinds of flash lights and lighting made the whole bar colorful, making it impossible to open your eyes completely.

There were a large number of people standing in the huge venue. It was impossible to see their appearance or whether they were men or women. One could only roughly tell them apart based on the length of their hair.

These people kept twisting their bodies, shaking their heads wildly, and shouting loudly to the explosive music, as if they were really venting something.

Except for a few people who were as excited as Xiao Hong, most of Zhou Chen and his group couldn't help but frown.

Zhou Chen was not surprised. He had lived for so many years and the scene before him could only be considered a small scene. He had even experienced concerts with tens of thousands of people, and the madness of that kind was much more shocking than what was happening here.

“Isn’t this too messy?”

Hou Pu had never seen such a scene before. He was completely shocked and pointed at the women in front of him and shouted, "The world is going downhill, the world is going downhill."

Fortunately, his voice was loud enough, otherwise no one would be able to hear him in such a noisy environment.

"Okay, stop expressing your feelings here, let's go." Qiu Shui pulled Houpu.

Zhao Yingnan leaned close to Zhou Chen's ear and whispered, "Do we really have to stay here? The environment here is not very good, right?"

Zhou Chen signaled that she was fine, then pulled Xiao Hong over and said to her, "Go ask if there are any larger booths, and try to arrange for everyone to sit together. If there are none, arrange for everyone to sit in nearby seats."

"Okay, no problem, leave it to me."

Xiao Hong happily agreed and ran to find a seat.

"Everyone, go aside first, don't block the door."

Zhou Chen led everyone to the side and suddenly called out, "Xiao Bai, Wu Ruixiang, where are you two going?"

Gu Ming chuckled and said, "I haven't been to a place like this for a long time. I'll control myself."

Wu Ruixiang also smiled and said, "It looks very interesting."

"Tsk, you wanted to go over there just because you saw beautiful women in there, right?" Du Zhong mercilessly revealed his true face.

"Nonsense, I'm not that kind of person."

"That's who you are."

Soon Xiao Hong came over with a burly man with long hair.

"Everyone, this is my good friend, the resident singer here, Brother Beast."

Brother Beast hangs out in bars all year round, so he is naturally a good person. He greeted Zhou Chen with a smile.

"Hello everyone, you are all Xiaohong's classmates, which means you are also my friends. I have discussed with others and have vacated two booths for you. This is your first time here, so I will pay for your consumption today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Shui suddenly said in a sarcastic tone: "That's not necessary. We can still afford this little money. Don't bother my friend."

Zhou Chen glanced at Qiu Shui. He knew that Qiu Shui must have seen the close relationship between Xiao Hong and Brother Beast, and was jealous and feeling uncomfortable.

Xiao Hong shouted at Qiu Shui in dissatisfaction: "Qiu Shui, how can you talk like that? This is my friend. If you treat my friend like this, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson."

It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, but when she spoke, Qiu Shui got even angrier.

"You really have a lot of friends. You have all kinds of friends."

"Qiu Shui, do you think I really don't dare to teach you a lesson? If you continue to be so sarcastic, I will really be rude to you."

In fact, Xiao Hong was very happy to see Qiu Shui jealous, but Brother Beast was next to her, and as a friend, she had to speak up for him.

Qiu Shui wanted to say more, but Zhou Chen stopped him and said to Brother Shou with a smile: "Brother Shou, hello, we are all classmates and agreed to have fun together. How can we let others pay for us? But I still want to thank you for your kindness."

Brother Beast said, "You're welcome. If we meet each other when we're out playing, we'll all be friends."

He was a gangster, so he could naturally see Qiu Shui's hostility towards him. He could also see that Zhou Chen was trying to smooth things over, seemingly being polite, but in fact being distant.

Xiao Hong said carelessly: "Brother Shou, to be honest, my classmate is also called Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen, and Brother Shou's real name is also Zhou Chen, but his Chen has an extra "日" in it than your Chen, haha, isn't that a coincidence?"

Brother Beast's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Zhou Chen and said, "Really, my friend, is your name Zhou Chen too? My name is Chen, which means morning, and Xiaohong said that I have an extra Ri than you. That means you are Chen, which means star? What a coincidence."

"It's a coincidence."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. If someone talks to you with a smile, even if you don't like him/her, there is no need to show a bad face, so Zhou Chen also responded with a smile.

Xiao Hong continued, "What's more, Brother Shou is a resident singer and he sings very well, and Zhou Chen is also very talented. He can write lyrics and compose music, and he can also sing. He can be said to be the most talented person I have ever met."

Brother Beast's eyes, which had already been brightened by the similarity of their names, became even brighter when he heard Xiao Hong's words again.

"Zhou Chen, can you also write lyrics and compose music?"

As a resident singer in the bar, Brother Beast is quite popular in this bar. It seems that he also has a small portion of the shares in the bar, so he is not short of money, so he wants to pursue higher goals.

For example, becoming a real singer.

Although he has a nice voice and sings well, he has always been singing other people's songs. Although he has also had other people write some songs for him, to be honest, the quality of those songs is really not that good.

It's okay to sing in a bar, but if you want to release a record, I'm afraid there won't be any sales at all.

So he has always wanted to find an excellent musician who can write lyrics and compose music. Zhou Chen looks young, but he knows Xiao Hong's character. Being praised by Xiao Hong in front of so many people and being said to be the most talented person she has ever met is definitely not just talk.

Zhou Chen didn't really want to deal with this beastly brother. A man who could take advantage of a drunk woman was not a good person at heart, no matter how bright and handsome he looked.

Although judging a person by his appearance is not accurate, this Beast Brother does not look like a kind person.

"Xiao Hong said, I just wrote a military song during military training. It's just graffiti. I wrote it for fun. It can't be compared with you professional singers."

Brother Beast continued, "You can't say that. Xiaohong rarely praises people. I believe in her judgment."

"Humph."

Qiu Shui next to him snorted coldly. The more he looked at this beastly brother, the more he disliked him. He was so intimate with his girlfriend in front of him. If there wasn't someone else around, he would definitely pull Xiao Hong away.

When Zhou Chen heard Qiu Shui's cold snort, he understood his thoughts very well. Not to mention Qiu Shui, if it was him, if anyone acted familiar and intimate with his girlfriend in front of him, he would guarantee that he would beat the shit out of that person.

How can a man not understand another man? Who can't see what this beastly brother is thinking?

Zhao Yingnan knew Zhou Chen. As soon as she saw Zhou Chen's expression, she knew that Zhou Chen didn't want to continue talking to this beastly brother, so she stood up.

"Zhou Chen, stop talking and take everyone to sit down."

Brother Beast was stunned at first, then he realized that the other person was not calling him.

Houpu had also calmed down by now. Since he was already here, he might as well sit down.

"Yes, Zhao Yingnan is right. Zhou Chen, please take everyone to sit down quickly. We can talk about anything after we sit down."

Xiao Hong also said: "Yes, everyone follow me first."

Under the leadership of Xiao Hong, everyone came to the booths in the bar and sat down. One place could accommodate seven or eight people, and two places were just enough for everyone to sit.

"What would you like to drink?" Xiao Hong, as a regular customer, took the initiative to ask everyone.

Zhou Chen said: "Tell us the prices. This is our first time here and we don't know much about this place."

He didn't know what the price range was in bars these days, but he knew that it must be expensive for interns like them.

So Xiao Hong started talking about prices, starting with the cheapest one, but even the cheapest one made many people's faces change suddenly.

Even the cheapest beer costs several dollars a glass.

Although it is now 98 and the wage level in the capital has increased, a beer that costs a few dollars a glass is still very expensive for many people.

You know, you can buy several bottles of beer outside with just a few dollars.

In the end, everyone wanted to order the cheapest beer, but Xiao Hong's words made everyone shocked again.

"There is a minimum consumption for the booths. I have already discussed it with Brother Beast and lowered the standard for everyone. The minimum consumption is 300. That's good enough, right?"

Three hundred yuan is actually not expensive. After all, this bar seems to have a good flow of people. If there is no minimum consumption for such a large booth, people will order a glass of wine and sit here for half a day. Doesn't this bar want to do business?

It's just three hundred yuan for a group of interns, they can afford it of course. Some people don't care, but some people feel bad about it.

For example, Houpu, he just called out.

"What a crappy place. It costs three hundred yuan to sit down. It's a rip-off."

Xiao Hong quickly pushed him down, "Squad leader, keep your voice down, aren't you ashamed? Three hundred yuan made you so anxious. On average, each person only spent a few dozen yuan. It's not a big deal. We are all here to have fun. Even if we go to the movies, it will cost a few dozen yuan. If you don't want to spend more money, don't buy wine and go downstairs to dance."

Although Houpu was dissatisfied, he still sat down grumblingly.

"Xiao Hong, your friend is no good. He arranged two booths for us and also set a minimum consumption limit. Did he really think we were here to eat and drink for free?"

Qiu Shui, who had been unhappy for a long time, finally got the chance and sneered with disdain on his face.

Xiao Hong said angrily, "Qiu Shui, shut up and stop making trouble for me. Brother Beast has already given us a discount and given us face. Don't make trouble for no reason."

"How could I be unreasonable, Xiao Hong? That beast brother..."

"Okay, Qiushui, we're all here to have fun, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Chen frowned and interrupted their quarrel. He said, "I understand, but there are so many people here. We are here to have fun, not to listen to you two quarreling."

"Xiao Hong, go order four drafts of beer and a cocktail for everyone, and put it on my bill."

"How can this be possible? We just agreed that everyone should pay for their own meals. How can I let you treat me?"

Several classmates called out immediately. Some people like to take advantage, but that doesn’t mean everyone likes to take advantage. What’s more, Zhou Chen is always so generous. If they let Zhou Chen treat them again this time, where would they put their faces?

Zhou Chen said, "We've been classmates for so many years. Today is Yingnan and I's engagement day, and it was me who suggested we go out and have fun. These are my personal purchases. If you want anything to drink or eat, you'll have to pay for it yourself."

It's not that he was pretending to be a big shot, but he saw that some people had already backed out. They were all future doctoral students, and the minimum consumption was three hundred yuan, but with so many people sitting together, how could they only drink a few glasses of wine? They were all young people, didn't they have any face to save?

Gu Ming was not short of money, so he said, "Since Zhou Chen ordered wine, I will order a fruit plate. Xiao Hong, please serve us some fruit plates. It's on my account."

At this beginning, others also began to clamor for something.

In the end, even the stingy Houpu spent money to order food. This guy is really honest. It is really cost-effective to go to the bar to order food.

The group of people ordered a lot of things, roughly estimated to be over a thousand yuan, so Xiao Hong was very happy. After all, she was asking for help. If she just spent the minimum consumption, her friends would not say anything, but she would definitely feel embarrassed.
