From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 281 Wutong Restaurant
The four of us waited for Li Changan downstairs in the hotel. Li Jian and I found a place without a no-smoking sign to smoke. Li Jian smiled and yelled at Shen Qier.

"Shen Qi'er, would you like one?"

"I quit!"

There are many places in BJ that are non-smoking. If you don’t smoke now, you won’t be able to smoke in the restaurant after a while.

"Brother Li, we are here!"

I saw this familiar commercial vehicle again. Li Changan got out of the car and I waved to him. He smiled, and then the four of us walked slowly in front of him.

I introduced: "This is Brother Li, Teacher Xiaokai's assistant, Brother Li, they are my bandmates, Shen Qier, Ying Qingyao, Li Jian, sorry to trouble you again!"

"Where is there, hello, get in the car!"

"Hello Brother Li!"

The three of them greeted Li Changan, and we quickly got into the car. We are all extroverts, so they quickly chatted with Li Changan.

I have always wondered in my heart where these celebrities would go if they went out to eat. After all, the popularity is so high, once they are exposed to the public view, they will cause crowds.

Therefore, I asked curiously: "Brother Li, where are we going to the restaurant?"

"Indus Restaurant!" Li Changan said a name I didn't know.

"Sycamore Restaurant?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Ying Qingyao said, "Captain, this is an Internet celebrity restaurant. It has been very popular on the Internet for the past two years, and many Internet celebrities and celebrities have checked in there."

"Qingyao, you know a lot!" Li Jian gave him a thumbs up, and Ying Qingyao snorted coldly at him.

"So it is!"

I nodded, and Li Changan smiled and said, "Sister Drummer is right. It's hard to make an appointment for a good location. Fortunately, I have some personal friendship with their boss. Not to mention the environment, the restaurant is Michelin-level!"

"Then I look forward to it more and more!"

I was sitting in the co-pilot, and Shen Qier seldom spoke all the way, maybe it was because of her menstruation, she was not feeling very well.Arriving at the parking lot of Wutong Restaurant in Chaoyang District, we entered the restaurant through the internal passage, not the main entrance, just like the first-class passage at the airport. It is estimated that this is specially established for those with special needs, such as celebrities and big names.
The environment here is very beautiful, I walked to the back with Shen Qier, I took her hand and asked in a low voice: "It seems that your complexion is not very good, and you didn't say a few words along the way, do you want to see a doctor?"

"No, I'm fine!" Shen Qi'er shook her head, "It's just some dysmenorrhea, bear with it and it will pass."

"If you can't bear it, just tell me, and I'll go buy medicine for you. Even if you have dysmenorrhea, you still say it's okay."

Shen Qier smiled at me, "Well, don't worry! I'm used to it, the pain is not strong, just grit my teeth and it will pass."

"Okay, just tell me if you have anything to do." Subconsciously, I held Shen Qi'er's hand even tighter. No matter what happened before, we already have a physical relationship. I am his man and she is my woman.

We were going up the stairs, only to hear Ying Qingyao sigh: "I have heard that the spiral staircase of Wutong Restaurant is very long, but I really didn't expect it to be so long, there are several laps!"

"Qing Yao, you should lose weight!" Li Jian teased her.

"Li Jian, do you mean that I'm fat? Captain, you see what he's talking about!" Ying Qingyao looked resentful.

I smiled and said nothing, Ming people don't speak dark words, I can see that Li Jian has a crush on Qingyao, but I am a little afraid that the band members will fall in love, and the team members in the back will disband because of emotional matters .

Such examples are not uncommon in the music world. This is a question that needs to be considered when managing a band as a band captain. However, feelings are something that I cannot control after all. In addition, as the captain, I did not lead by example. When the members talked about love, it was even more difficult to say anything.

Wutong Restaurant has two floors. The first floor is a relatively ordinary table and chair restaurant; the second floor is full of floor-to-ceiling windows, with a lobby, and the landscape location is where you can watch jazz performances. The environment is beautiful.

Moreover, the private rooms in the dining room on the second floor are separated by floor-to-ceiling glass windows and gauze curtains. Teacher Xiaokai is already sitting at the table waiting for us, and we greeted him as soon as we saw him.

Obviously, this is a private room with a view, with good sound insulation, and you can see the night view outside from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the beautiful music is surrounded by the sound system. This is really a very high-end restaurant.

Teacher Xiaokai smiled at us and said, "Everyone, you're welcome. I haven't seen you for a while. When you come to BJ, you can order whatever you like. Anyway, Brother Li pays for it!"

"Hahahaha." Teacher Xiaokai's words amused us.

Li Changan laughed, "That's at your expense!"

This is the daily chatter between celebrities and assistants. Their relationship is really very good. We are not polite to Mr. Xiaokai, and we take turns using the iPad on the table to order:

"Crispy duck, Tianfu bean curd fish, kung pao grilled chicken with nuts, hot and sour mullet egg soup with sesame sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs with wutong, roasted duck with [-] flavors of wutong, longevity peach."

I ordered more than a dozen dishes and some drinks, both Chinese and Western. I took a look at the amount to be paid at 4058RMB, which is not much for Mr. Xiaokai, but it is a huge sum of money for me.After the ordered dishes were gradually served, we finally tasted delicious food. No wonder the business is so good. Regardless of the environment, dishes, taste, presentation, service, etc., they are all of high standards. No wonder celebrities and Internet celebrities come here to eat.

"The taste is amazing, Mr. Kai!"

"Thank you Teacher Xiaokai for your hospitality, cheers!"

The security work and confidentiality work of Wutong Restaurant are in place. During the meal, there is no interference from the paparazzi at all. There are many high-end restaurants like this BJ. Compared with the atmosphere, I still prefer to drink beer at the food stall, friends Talking loudly, it's a pity that for a person like Teacher Xiaokai, he can't accompany us to the food stall, not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't.

"Yunqian, you can go directly to Yinhe Records tomorrow. Anyway, you know Mr. Lin well, and you also have his WeChat account. Contact your superiors first, and Mr. Lin will arrange for you to record tomorrow."

In the middle of the meal, Teacher Xiaokai suddenly said: "So, I'm sorry, I can't see you in the morning, I have something to do in school and I can't leave, I will come to Yinhe Records to see you in the afternoon!"

"Ham, it's okay. Teacher Xiaokai has helped us enough. We have said thank you countless times. Besides, your time is so tight. You can do what you want. Anyway, it is only recording instruments at this stage, and it will take two days to officially record. Song."

"I wish you success, I have always been optimistic about you, don't let me down!"

"Well, but. Teacher Xiaokai, the competition is quite big this month. I heard that the Qinsheng band will also release songs in the second half of the year, and Wang Chuchu's band. I just went to their recording studio to play a few days ago. I heard what she said. "

I don't want to mention Xia Qing's name. I'm afraid that Shen Qi'er will mistakenly think that Xia Qing and I have a relationship in private.
Teacher Xiaokai was silent for a while, and then said: "Well, Xia Qing is indeed very powerful, and she has gradually entered the circle. After one summer, she became popular immediately. Now there are big companies like Butterfly creating their band, and it will be your band in the future. A strong competitor, but the music world needs this kind of competition to be interesting and have good works, I believe in you, they can do it, you Yunji band can do it too, I really hope to see the new generation of bands fighting with gods!"

　I think the title of my book is wrong, but unfortunately changing the name is too troublesome, otherwise it should be called "From the Band to the Entertainment Circle" more appropriate.
