darkest personality

Chapter 11 11. 'Night Owl'

Bai Ye is a night club DJ.

Speaking of DJ, it is necessary to popularize science here that DJ is a profession, not a style of music.

Many people mistakenly think that a DJ is equal to a producer of electronic dance music. This is not always the case. A good electronic music producer must be a good DJ, but a good DJ may not be able to produce electronic music.

The main job of the DJ is to play discs - use disc players and mixing consoles to mix and edit multiple dance songs for playback, and cooperate with stage lighting to render the atmosphere of the scene, so as to make customers High.

Bai Ye is not a professional DJ.

In fact, DJing is a nearly extinct profession in 2065.

Because most night shows will introduce a kind of sonic music that can directly stimulate the human cerebral cortex to stimulate human excitement and joy to create an atmosphere, and the effect is more significant than pure DJ playing.

Nowadays, there are only a handful of nightclubs with resident DJs, and many electronic dance music producers have chosen to change their careers after the audience and distribution channels of their works have been greatly reduced.

The reason why Bai Ye is engaged in this rare job is because of his interest. He himself loves electronic dance music and is also keen on the production of this aspect.

Secondly, he felt that the passionate and bloody working atmosphere in the night show was conducive to the treatment of his heart rate drop.

His place of work is a medium-sized nightclub called 'Night Owl' on the 7th Street of Shuguang District, Huanhai City. The owner of the shop, Li Dan, is a classmate of Bai Ye's college, and his working hours are from 8:2 to [-]:[-] every night.

……

If you drive the maglev powered motorcycle to the elevated road, it only takes 10 minutes from Bai Ye's house to the 'Night Owl'.

After parking the motorcycle in the underground garage of 'Night Owl', Bai Ye took the elevator up to the third floor. There is a part of the staff lounge, and the boss Li Dan's office is also inside.

It was only 07:30 at night, and the 'Night Owl' hadn't officially opened yet, so Bai Ye went straight to Li Dan's office.

Li Dan is a typical rich second generation. In terms of family power and financial resources, they are not small in Huanhai City.

The rule of the Li family is that when the sons become adults, they will be given a chance to do what they want to do, and the family will provide a large amount of funds in the early stage of starting a business.

Li Dan opened this nightclub named 'Ye Xiao' after taking the start-up capital, and became the boss who didn't care about anything, spending most of the day in the office playing games.

"Big tie, I'm four scumbags, Tanwan Lanyue, the new version of the boat that has never been pulled in the department, it takes three minutes to experience it, Lizao will do the same as me..."

As soon as the door was opened and entered, there was a loud game advertisement sound from inside.

Li Dan leaned on an ergonomic chair like a dead dog, put his feet up, and shouted in a drawn-out voice:

"Sell it, sell it all... Lao Zhi will never play this game again."

This is a strong and fat man over 1.8 meters tall. Even if someone who doesn't know him casually glances at him, he can estimate his weight to be more than 200 catties in his heart.

Seeing Bai Ye walking in, Li Dan sat up a little and greeted:

"Bai Huohua (this guy used to call Bai Ye the wrong name 'Bai Hua' for a while because he called Bai Ye wrongly, and later he ingeniously took apart the word 'Ye' and called it, thus forming a new nickname for the boat), you come It's just right, don't go to the show later, and double row "Pale Dawn" with me?"

"Come on, I'm all going to play games, how is this store still open?"

Bai Ye noticed that the projection screen in front of Li Dan was staying in a game forum, and the interface had been overwhelmed by dense bullet screens.

"I bet no one would come to play here at all today."

It's hard to imagine that such words came from the mouth of the nightclub owner.

Li Dan pointed to the projection screen in front of him and said:
"Just now, the number of pre-ordered players of "Pale Dawn" has exceeded 6 million. This number is almost the total number of game players in the world. People are running to play games, and ghosts come to nightclubs to dance .”

"Not necessarily, I think there will be quite a few people coming here to play tonight."

Bai Ye put his hands on the desk and said again:
"Didn't you say that you will go home to report on the progress of your business in two months? Last quarter's performance did not meet the standard. If you continue to indulge in games, you will not be able to apply for follow-up family financial assistance."

"What's the rush? There are still two months left."

Li Dan licked his lips and said with a chuckle: "In the name of the shop owner, I order you to take a vacation tonight, how about playing a few games with me?"

"Forget it, you don't worry about your job, but I have to worry about my work."

Bai Ye shrugged and said, "I'm going to debug the equipment."

Then, he didn't care about Li Dan behind him continuing to threaten him with words like 'if you go against you, you dare to disobey the boss' orders' and 'believe it or not, I'll fire you right away', and left the office straight away.

……

'Night Owl' is just a medium-sized nightclub. Although the place is not big, it has all internal organs.

Li Dan is not relentless when it comes to spending money, and spent a huge amount of money to create a complete set of the most advanced holographic stage layout for 'Night Owl'.

The venue can not only simulate all kinds of beautiful scenes that exist in reality or in the virtual world, but also comes with extremely cool lighting color blending effects, creating a stage atmosphere that can mobilize the audience to the maximum. enthusiasm.

Bai Ye's performance stage was at the front of the venue, where a square platform was raised, on which were placed a complete set of disc players and mixers - this set of equipment was not easy to obtain, as the DJ industry These devices out of touch with the times are more collected as collections in the hands of some enthusiasts, which are rare in the market.

After Bai Ye checked the equipment carefully, the time came to [-]:[-] p.m., and the business hours of 'Night Owl' arrived.

but……

It was really hit by Li Dan. It has been more than half an hour since the doors opened for business, and there is not even a ghost in Nuoda's venue.

Bai Ye played a few songs that had been prepared earlier, the stage lights flickered, and the atmosphere was blurred, but there was no audience to interact, it felt like playing a single machine, no matter how gorgeous the stage was, it felt a bit miserable and deserted.

At around 09:30, some customers began to come in one after another.

Bai Ye cut a piece of "Beautiful-now" by Zedd, and began to shake his body with the beat of the music, driving the atmosphere of the customers off the venue.

At this time, Li Dan, wearing big sunglasses, came to the performance stage with a sad face, picked up the microphone that was put aside and yelled a few times as if venting, not only did not fit the beat of the drum, but was a bit corrupted. Several customers who have barely entered the state of dancing are Yaxing.

"Damn it, it's really annoying, what are you talking about because the heart rate detection is too high, and the matching interval is as long as 12 hours, damn it!"

He put down the microphone and leaned closer to Bai Ye's ear and said loudly.

Bai Ye didn't answer him, and there was a gloating expression on his face that I knew you would be like this.

Uninterested, Li Dan picked up the microphone and yelled a few times for Bai Ye to liven up the atmosphere.

At this moment, the number of people on the field below also began to increase slowly, and people kept coming in at the gate.

"What's the next song?"

"Samsara (reincarnation)."

"What?"

Li Dan couldn't hear Bai Ye's words clearly, and Bai Ye over here had already switched to a new melody quickly.

A gentle prelude began to sound, followed by a gentle female voice:
'Time is running out, the clock is ticking'

'I planned my life carefully'

'Do you believe in karma? '

'Let's have a party like reincarnation'

'Maybe someone told you that life is like stagnant water'

'But with us, depression is not the only thing'

'Come on, let's set the tone'

'Get excited with music'

'Take me home, like reincarnation'

'Don't be restrained, it's like reincarnation'

'Come join us, we can make it'

'Come join us, we'll accept'

'Take me home, into reincarnation...'

When the female voice sang here, the drums began to join in, and the power accumulated in the prelude also began to evaporate.

Then the rhythm gradually slowed down, like the calm before the storm.

"Samsara!"

Li Dan also knew how to cooperate, and raised his head just right here and roared, accompanied by the sudden bright lights, completely detonated the audience.

The rhythm was pulled back by Bai Ye in an instant, and the drum sound was increased to the maximum volume, like a heavy hammer hitting the heart.

At the same time, he quickly moved his hands sideways and began to rub the disk regularly.

The regular trembling of the body, the melody is blended under his dreamlike hands to form a distinctive rhythm, the rhythm is fast and slow but layered, a commotion that is enough to detonate the soul, and the atmosphere in the venue Pushed to the climax.
