Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 7 The Golden Boy
Just as Cao Jian was staring blankly at the sweet girl singing on the stage, Cao Wei beside him sighed: "That girl has a really nice voice and is beautiful too."

"Even a blind man can see it."

Needless to say?
The girl on the stage will be famous all over the country in two years and become the sweet song goddess in the hearts of countless people.

In front of her, all the sweetheart leaders and cute leaders have to stand aside.

"Friends on the mountaintop, how are you?"

This is so cute, so sweet.

He immediately turned around and said to the manager in charge of recruiting, "I'll sing here."

"Welcome."

The manager was still very satisfied with Cao Jian's appearance.

Being sunny and handsome, he might attract some rich ladies here. As long as he sings well, he will definitely get a lot of tips.

He nodded and smiled, "Even though we take 50% of the tips, we have a lot of customers here, so you guys will get a lot too. But we still want to know how you sing."

This is the normal process. If you can't sing well, no one will use you even if you know Shaolin Kung Fu.

Unless you have other specialties.

Cao Jian just wanted to sing, so he asked, "How do you tell if you sing well?"

"After the girl on the stage finishes singing, you go up and sing during the break. If the guests respond well, you stay. If not, you leave."

"I'll go get ready first."

"I'll take you in."

Accompanied by their manager, the Cao Jian brothers walked into the dance hall, found the DJ, and prepared to let the newcomer show off his singing skills.

Although it is just dusk, the nightlife of Guangzhou residents has already begun.

In the middle of the dance hall is a small dance floor with round laser light balls hanging above it, emitting colorful lights that are dazzling.

But this kind of light ball is very popular now.

There is a circle of tables around it, where guests can drink.

Disco had already become popular at this time, but only after dark would people who had a busy day at work go to the dance floor to let off steam.

Now, there are only a few guests, who just drink and listen to music.

Cao Jian had already sung for a month in his hometown provincial capital a month before and was familiar with this kind of environment.

However, the audio equipment here in Guangzhou is much more advanced than that in the mainland, and it should have come from the Hong Kong River.

"What song will you sing later?"

The manager brought over a sequined vest and handed it to Cao Jian.

"The wolf from the north."

This song is Qi Qin's famous song that became popular throughout China. Cao Jian has sung it many times, so of course he chose the one he is best at.

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl on the stage had already finished singing the song "Pink Memories".

"clap clap"

Before anyone else started clapping, Cao Jian was the first to do so.

The girl on the stage heard the applause, turned around and gave a sweet smile.

"So pure."

This smile made Cao Jian feel soft again.

The goddess is indeed a goddess, her smile can make people feel sweet to the heart.

There is usually more than one singer in a dance hall. After the girl finishes singing, she walks off the stage to take a break amid applause.

"Now, we would like to invite Cao Jian, a young man from the north, to perform the song 'Northern Wolves'. Welcome everyone!"

Under the DJ's sound, Cao Jian put on a waistcoat and immediately transformed from a young man with a scholarly temperament into a singer in a dance hall.

As the music played, he walked onto the stage and waved to everyone in the audience skillfully: "Hello everyone! Welcome to the Yiyuan Ballroom."

"This young man is quite capable."

Cao Jian's relaxed look made the manager in charge of recruitment nod in satisfaction.

"This is the first time I've seen my brother like this."

Although Cao Wei had seen Cao Jian humming songs in his hometown, he had never seen him like this before.

Only then did he understand why his cousin could make money.

"I am a wolf from the north, walking in the boundless wilderness, with the howling north wind blowing and the endless yellow sand sweeping by."

The girl who was drinking water after coming off the stage was chatting with her mentor, music producer Wu Songjin from Nanchang.

When he heard Cao Jian's singing, he also looked over.

The clear, high-pitched, and rich singing voice made Wu Songjin adjust his glasses and say, "This young man sings well."

"is very good."

The girl nodded in agreement and said, "Do you think he's also in Guangzhou trying his luck? Waiting to be discovered by a record company?"

Wu Songjin said: "It's possible, I'll go ask later."

Nowadays, many people go south to look for opportunities. The young man on the stage has very good voice and appearance. I will ask him if he has found a way.

On the stage, Cao Jian sang very hard.

It's not just for the money, but also because the goddess is watching.

"I could only grit my teeth and let out two long howls, not for anything else, yeah yeah yeah yeah, but only for that beautiful grassland in the legend, ah. ah."

After a few wolf howls, Cao Jian suddenly took a bass guitar from the DJ, squatted on the stage and began to pluck the strings frantically.

This stunned the manager of the dance hall, the audience, cousin Cao Wei, the sweet song girl and his teacher.

No one expected that this young man of eighteen or nineteen years old could do this?
The stage feeling is so good.

Seeing that Cao Jian was working so hard, some of the guests at the scene started blowing whistles and some cheered and applauded.

There was also a fat woman dressed fashionably. She took out a hundred yuan, handed it to the waiter, and said she wanted to listen to another song.

When the manager saw this, he thought to himself, "This person must stay."

Cao Wei rubbed his eyes. Although he thought his cousin sang very well, he really didn't expect that he could earn fifty yuan in just a few minutes.

No wonder he dares to live in an apartment building. The income here is much better than working.

At the backstage door, Wu Songjin also said to the sweet singer, "This young man has great potential to be a pop singer."

Having said that, he glanced at the students around him, then at the young man on the stage, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.

My students have not had much luck finding a record company recently. If we add this young man and form a golden boy and a beautiful girl group, it might be easier to sign them.

Since someone gave him a tip, Cao Jian of course had to continue singing.

Although the dance hall took away fifty yuan, the remaining fifty was equal to two days' wages.

He immediately sang Beyond's "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies".

Now, the nightclub manager felt like he had found a treasure.

I didn’t expect that a northerner could sing Cantonese songs.

The two songs sung by this young man livened up the atmosphere of the nightclub and even sold a few more bottles of beer.

After singing two songs in a row, Cao Jian finally walked off the stage.

"Cao Jian, you sing well. I didn't expect you can play the bass. Sing here from now on. The boss won't treat you unfairly."

The manager is now really afraid that such an outstanding young man will go to another company.

"Thank you, but I have a request. The fee must be settled on a daily basis."

Cao Jian didn't know how much longer he could sing, and he would feel at ease only after the fee was paid, otherwise it would be troublesome when he left.

"no problem."

The manager generously agreed: "You can take a break and sing here today."

As they were talking, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and the sweet girl who had sung earlier came over and said to Cao Jian with a smile, "Young man, your name is Cao Jian, right? Can we chat?"

Cao Jian nodded and asked with a smile: "I am Cao Jian, who are you?"

Looking closely at the sweet girl, not only is her skin fair and delicate, but her eyes seem to speak volumes.

Especially when the girl approached, a faint scent of lilies wafted over, which was very pleasant.

"My name is Wu Songjin, and I'm a music producer."

After the middle-aged man introduced himself, he pointed at the sweet girl and said, "She is my student, her name is Yang Gangli."

"Yang Gangli?"

Cao Jian was startled, then thought to himself, "So Yang Yuying's real name is Yang Gangli. I didn't know that before."
