Du Qiu found Qin Weizhen, who was chatting with a few girls of the same age at the next table. She was about to ask her about gossip about celebrity gossip, but she heard a very lively applause and cheers coming from behind. It seemed that a particularly popular star had appeared. When she turned her head and saw a brown-haired foreign woman on the rostrum, wearing a big red jacket with Chinese national characteristics, full of joy, as if she was about to get married.

"who is she?"

"Don't you usually watch TV? This is Linda Carl, the starring actor in "Foreign Girls in Beijing". "Qin Weizhen saw that Du Qiu really didn't know him, so she introduced: "She married a man from Beijing on TV. She wore this dress at the wedding. The TV series has a high ratings and many TV stations let it go. It is said that there are 600 million viewers across the country, which is very popular."

This kind of theme of conflict and integration between Chinese and Western cultures was very popular 20 years later, let alone in the 1990s...

But why have I never mentioned such a popular TV series on the Internet before I traveled through time...

Linda Carl said a few opening remarks in a somewhat stiff but fluent Chinese, and then sang a song "The Heart Will Go with Love". The song was very ordinary but the response was very enthusiastic. Amid the discussions of the melon-eating crowd, Du Qiu realized that this song that he sang throughout the streets and alleys in his childhood was actually an interlude in "Foreign Girls in the Capital".

"How much does the appearance fee for these stars cost?"

"Look at the popularity, the popular ones are seven or eight thousand, and the ordinary ones are one or two thousand."

"Just sing a song?"

"How is that possible? According to the usual practice, four songs are sung. If you are happy, you can also give me a few songs for free." Qin Weizhen looked at Du Qiu with the eyes of Dengtuzi, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"What are you doing, just ask and satisfy your curiosity."

At this time, a couple came with their children to take a photo. Du Qiu got up to cooperate and asked Qin Weizhen to help take a few photos. After the shooting, Linda Carl sang another song at the request of the audience. This time she sang "Kiss Goodbye" and "Kiss Goodbye" was released in 1993, but it was still popular at this time and was circulating in the streets and alleys, so many people sang softly.

"How do they deal with the copyright of lyrics and music when they participate in commercial performances?"

"If you don't deal with it, this kind of small commercial performance is all cash transactions and cannot be checked. If someone reports it, it will be said to be a friendly performance, free and has no commercial interests." Qin Weizhen spread his hands and said, "I know you attach great importance to intellectual copyright, but now the national conditions are like this, there is no way. Oh, by the way, I heard from my cousin that there is a singer resident in the bar in Beijing who covered your song "Jasmine Blossoms", which is quite popular."

"Is that true?" Du Qiu asked a little surprised, "What's that person's name?"

"A nameless man who has never even made a single, my cousin doesn't know him. He said he doesn't sing well as you said."

Du Qiu's singing skills are not good, and he can only yell. He has been hit by Du Chunhua and Jiang Danfeng many times. At this time, he was a little proud when he heard this and said, "Your cousin has a good taste, so learn more from him."

"Take it down! You are his financial backer, so of course he holds you." Qin Weizhen sneered and teased: "You should write songs honestly. Singing is really not suitable for you."

"I am also your financial backer, why don't you hold me?"

"You guys, you forced me, a student in school to hold my stinky feet, and don't bother me to hold my stinky feet?"

"Hey, hey, let me know, which foot is smelly?"

Amid the two of them, Linda Carl sang "Kiss Goodbye". Her singing skills were average, but she was beautiful, and she was also good at typhoons. Her expressions and movements were very rich. She would interact with the audience below the stage as the lyrics. Therefore, at the end of the song, the whole room was cheering, and many greasy middle-aged men even whistled or joked at her.

Linda Carl is not a professional singer. She stopped performing after singing two songs. As soon as she walked off the rostrum, a middle-aged woman with a big waist rushed up, picked up the microphone from the stand, and said in an accent with a big Northeast slap. "You men's dream lovers have finished singing. Now it's our women's dream lovers. Sisters, let Du Qiu go on stage to sing a song, okay?"

"good!"

"Du Qiu, go up quickly."

"Du Qiu! Du Qiu! Du Qiu!"

Du Qiu had no confidence in his singing skills, so he shook his hand and said he didn't want it. The elder sister urged him twice. Seeing that he was slow to move, he said excitedly: "Du Qiu, as long as you come up and sing a song, I will set an extra 100,000 yuan next year!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a thin man jumped up like a monkey with his tail stepped on, shouting loudly: "You prodigal girl! Du Qiu is a billionaire, cares about your 100,000 yuan? Come down and don't show your eyes in shame."

The elder sister had a bad temper. After being scolded, she exploded directly on the spot, pointing at the man and said sarcastically: "Bah! Everyone is so hot. Du Qiu can make so much money. It is all the help of us ordinary people. You are just drooling and watching foreign beauties sing. Don't I let me spend money to invite handsome Chinese guys to sing?"

This couple is really interesting...

He was actually jealous in public...

"Brother, go up, you sing a song, I will make a dish."

"Sister, I have lost weight recently and I don't eat anything. Don't push me."

Amid the laughter of the melon-eating crowd, Du Qiu was pushed and shoved by his mother and forced to the rostrum step by step. He took the microphone from the fierce sister and was about to speak, but saw Jiang Danfeng walking in from the front door of the banquet hall, holding his cell phone to signal to him, as if there was an important phone call.

At this time, it was obviously inappropriate to step down to answer the phone. Du Qiu made a gesture to Jiang Danfeng to call back later, and then asked Biaohan's elder sister: "Sister, what song do you want me to sing?"

"Any song is OK, just sing it casually, and I like it."

"Oh well."

Du Qiu is a slutty person. He usually likes quiet but doesn’t like moving, but if he moves, he will play crazy. Since he has been on stage, he decided to pretend to be a pussy. After pondering for a while, he thought of an idea and said to the audience below: "Foreign beauties can sing "Kiss Goodbye" in Chinese, but we handsome Chinese guys cannot be at a disadvantage. I will sing "Kiss Goodbye" in English. How about it?"

"good!"

"Du Qiu is manly, give us Chinese men a sigh of relief!"

"Mr. Du, if you sing well, I will also order an additional 100,000 yuan!"

"I order an extra 200,000!"

Du Qiu raised his index finger with his right hand, made a booing move on his lips, then held the microphone with both hands and lowered his head to meditate. Qin Weizhen felt that he was going to use his big move, so he hurried to find the photographer who was shooting the live video of the thank-you banquet, and was about to remind him to take it carefully. As soon as he found it, he saw Su Wenxiu coming too. The two looked at each other and smiled, and then rushed the photographer who was standing in the back row to the front row near the rostrum.

"Is there an English version of "Kiss Goodbye"?"

"It probably didn't. Judging from Du Qiu's appearance, he was obviously editing the lyrics temporarily."

"He really thinks he is a genius, but he dares to edit lyrics on the spot. If he fails to sing, I will laugh at him for at least ten years!"

"What if he sang well?"

"You haven't heard him sing, you must be bad."

Du Qiuzhuang thought for about two minutes, and recalled the lyrics of "Take Me to Your Heart" in his mind several times. It felt like the time was almost over, so he snapped his fingers and signaled the sound master to play the accompaniment, then walked to the opposite of the tough sister, posing in love and inseparable, and began to sing.

Many entertainment activities in the 1990s were not attractive to Du Qiu. Electronic games were too simple. I watched almost all popular movies before traveling through time, and I was not interested in nightclubs, so during the two months he spent in Silicon Valley, he only did two things in his spare time: practicing calligraphy and practicing harmonica.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you practice more, your level will naturally increase a lot. Art is easy to learn from other things. Du Qiu's brush calligraphy has improved, and the pen calligraphy has become more beautiful. The harmonica ability has improved. The musical sense, rhythm, breath and other vocal skills have also improved unknowingly. Therefore, when Du Qiu sang a few sentences, Qin Weizhen was surprised and said, "Isn't this guy doing surgery on his throat in the United States? He actually sang so well."

"It's better than before." Su Wenxiu's English is not good, and she can't understand the meaning of the lyrics, and asked, "Is the lyrics well written?"

"not bad."

After the Danish pop band Michael learns to rock covered "Kiss Goodbye" into the English version of "Take Me to Your Heart" in 2004, it was once very popular in China. Du Qiu sang many times on KTV when he was having a reunion with his classmates before traveling through time, and also tried to sing another song with the accompaniment of one song. He was very familiar, so although the arrangement style was completely different, he was not worried about lyrics and was able to sing easily, which quickly attracted the audience. Those who didn't understand English thought that he sang so smoothly and freshly, and those who could understand English thought that he composed such fresh and timeless lyrics in a very short time, which was amazing.

"Chunhua, your brother is such a wonderful person, and he can surprise people anytime and anywhere."

"He is a man who is crazy and likes to show off everywhere with half a bottle of jealousy."

"Ha! You're just laughing tilted and still pretentious. If he's half a bottle of jealousy, what are we?"

Du Qiu's facial contour is relatively round and lacks distinct personal characteristics. In order to make up for this, when he was custom-made suits in Osaka, Jennifer helped him choose a dark coat and a black shirt, and a metal gray twill tie to create a cold and tough image. At this time, he sang love songs to a tough sister, and his singing was affectionate and tender, with a kind of unruly contrast. Not only did he not lose his fans, but he made many female audiences crazy and scream. Linda Carl, who was standing in the audience to watch the fun, also gave him several kisses, looking like a fascinated girl.

The tough sister is also a good person. She twisted her waist as thick as a bucket, danced while glaring at the same time. I don’t know if she knows English or has a good sense of music. She cooperated with Du Qiu’s singing very well, which caused laughter from the audience and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

When Du Qiu finished singing the lyrics and the accompaniment was not over, the strong sister stepped forward and hugged him with a bear hug, and said to the thin man in the audience: "You damn, be kind to me in the future, otherwise I will divorce and marry Du Qiu immediately!"

The audience burst into laughter again, and the applause was thunderous. Du Qiu originally wanted to make some fun and say a few funny words. After glanced at Jiang Danfeng, he saw that Jiang Danfeng was still standing at the door, holding his cell phone with his right hand and scribbling a "vip" character in the air with his left hand. He knew that the call was very important, so he broke free from the bear hug of the fierce sister, hurriedly left the rostrum, walked over and asked, "Whose phone number is it?"

Jiang Danfeng did not answer, but complained softly: "You should sing the song just now."

"I'll sing to you when I'll go back to the hotel later, until I hear you get tired of it."

"This is almost the same." Jiang Danfeng smiled sweetly, covered the radio hole and handed the phone to him, and said, "It was Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee. They just listened to your singing through their phones."

"them?"

"Well, all the Standing Committee members of Sanjiang Province and all the Standing Committee members of Yuncheng City."

I was stunned! I actually played a live show in 1995...
Chapter completed!
