Chapter 26: Super Imitation Show (Part 2)
PS: I won't say too much, you guys should know what I mean by now, thanks for the votes. Next week will be a very important one, I hope to get everyone's support and stay in the top 10 of the urban newbies.
Even the most frugal people become generous when faced with something they are interested in. Under the swift busyness of the thin boss and shop assistants, customers who were tempted by Xiao Shuai's performance quickly completed their selection and payment in the store, and then they all walked out in an orderly manner, holding their goods and invoices, standing right in front of Xiao Shuai.
At this time, the middle-aged woman who had just spoken "incited" everyone to "shop for performances" also walked over with something in her arms. She first handed it to a young man with a slightly red face, and then said to Xiao Tang, who was nodding at him: "You're called Little Tang? Your song is really nice, I like it very much."
"Thank you, Auntie, for the compliment." Xiaosha Ge smiled humbly and said: "I'm a professional at eating this bowl of rice, but mainly I should thank everyone for their support."
"You really sing well, everyone can see that." The middle-aged aunt was very satisfied with his humility, unlike some young people nowadays who have a bit of talent and are arrogant beyond measure.
"Haha, then I'll definitely make sure not to disappoint everyone later." Xiao Sao Ge nodded and said a sentence before looking at the thin boss who was walking out, after getting a nod, he continued holding the microphone and said to the audience who were in high spirits: "Everyone's enthusiasm really touches my heart, for listening to my performance, I counted earlier that there are 64, no, should be 65 big brothers and sisters, little brothers and sisters who went in to buy their favorite products, and according to the game rules I said, then a total of 6 lucky ones got the chance to request songs..."
"That's not right, there are still five people who have bought things!" Several customers who had purchased items suddenly raised their voices in unison.
"Hehe, have you all forgotten about that guy from earlier? He did order a song after all." Xiao Sao Ge said with a calm and collected smile, and now everyone had nothing to say. After all, if they were to count it up, they still needed a few more people to reach 70 customers.
Seeing that everyone no longer objected, he continued to say: "I'll give the first spot directly to this aunt, shouldn't there be any objections?" He pointed at the middle-aged woman with a expectant face and smiled: "If it wasn't for her encouragement, I think probably nobody would have gone in to shop by now, so I must thank this aunt."
The audience on the scene, as well as those who have just finished shopping, actually don't have much opinion about it. If they put themselves in others' shoes, they would do the same thing too - you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours!
"Alright, let's see which song this aunt, a fan of Wang Fei, wants to hear!" Xiao Shuai Ge took two steps forward and handed the microphone over to the middle-aged woman, who was visibly excited, and encouraged her: "Shout out the name of your song, it has to be a classic one!"
"I love Eason Chan's Cantonese version of 'The Easily Hurt Woman'." A middle-aged woman, encouraged, loudly shouted out: "This is my most favorite song, so I want to hear the live version."
"Dizzy, why is it Cantonese again?" Xiao Su Ge muttered with a half-complaining and half-joking tone, then shouted loudly amidst everyone's laughter: "This song may be a bit monotonous when performed with an acoustic guitar, but I'll show you the original sound re-sung. Also hope everyone won't be stingy with their applause and cheers!"
He retreated and put the microphone back on the stand in front of him, then lightly strummed the guitar amidst the applause and screams, and soon, a slightly monotonous but unique music flowed from Xiao Su's hands.
Wang Fei is a legendary music diva, not only does she have an extremely high degree of vocal recognition, but her singing skills can also be considered among the top three among female singers. Her voice is ethereal and enchanting, as if it's hard to figure out, yet at the same time, it's captivating and makes one reluctant to stop listening.
As a classic representative of the "Queen of Heaven", this absolutely classic song, which is also a cover from the East, naturally has many covers, some good and some ordinary. But in any case, the popularity of this song is undeniable.
So, when Tang Xiao Shuai started playing the prelude, there were already many "fans" ready to follow the beat and hum along, but more people were waiting to verify Tang Xiao Shuai's vocals. Just as they were expecting this, Tang Xiao Shuai took a deep breath and began his performance:
As people get drunker, the night gets deeper, how close is this moment
Ideas seem to be shaking, and contradictions are even deeper
A heart once broken, now gently approaches you today
……
Almost identical tone, nearly absolute original sound performance. At this moment, the audience at this live show are absolutely lucky because if they want to attend Wang Fei's concert, they would have to spend at least 500 yuan on tickets. But now, they didn't spend a single penny and yet saw a more exciting and shocking performance than the concert.
"Damn it, if this kid doesn't become famous, I'll write my name backwards!" A yellow-haired man with tattoos suddenly shouted excitedly: "This is what imitation is all about, the original singer will be blinded by this ultimate version!"
"It's simply unacceptable if this guy doesn't become a star!" The bespectacled girl who had just spoken with the beautiful Xiao Wen suddenly seemed to have made up her mind, and as she gazed at the passionately performing Xiao Wei, a burst of bright light suddenly exploded in her eyes behind her glasses.
"I always thought imitation was just about looking similar, but now seeing this little Tang guy's performance, I simply can't believe it. If he impersonated Wang Fei's voice to deceive people, would anyone fall for it? There's actually a young guy who amazingly thought of using this skill to swindle money, um, all I can say is that in a big forest, there are all kinds of birds!"
……
The scene was filled with murmurs, which was originally impolite as it was not conducive to the performer's performance. But who would have thought that a certain "young singer" named "Little Tang" was so against the sky and actually performed Wang Fei's voice so well? So, even though many people knew they shouldn't make a sound and shouldn't miss the opportunity to listen while discussing with others, everyone just couldn't hold back their excitement!
It's clear that this is also something the performer, Xiao Xiao Ge, didn't want to see. So when he finally finished his performance without any mistakes thanks to his strong nerves, he had to take the microphone and say: "I know my performance was amazing, but I believe we all hope to hear me sing rather than make various noises. Therefore, I hope that from now on, everyone will refrain from doing anything other than applauding during my performances."
"I'm telling you, this guy is quite something!" Some people who thought they were superior sneered with disdain. However, more people felt that Lao San wasn't wrong, and everyone was willing to stand around here, naturally to watch the show, otherwise who would be willing to sweat profusely on a hot day just to follow someone's loud shouting?
"Alright, the third song is about to be drawn! Brother Xiao didn't waste any time and smiled at the dozens of excited shoppers: "First, I need everyone to hand over the receipts in your hands. Then, I'll roughly shuffle the order and draw one out. If the receipt matches the physical item in someone's hand, then that person can 'request a song'!"
This approach is indeed relatively fair, so everyone didn't have any opinions. At most, they would just take it back after the event ended. Therefore, they cooperated and handed over all the invoices to the thin boss who was happy to help, and finally gave them all to Xiao Su Ge.
Tang Xiaosha casually pulled out a stack of "Washing" cards, one after another, and said with a smile: "If everyone plays poker like this soft one, I think there will be many 'bombs'." His joke made everyone nod and laugh. The invoice was originally very soft and definitely not as good at "washing cards" as poker, so it's easier to get four of a kind, which is called a "bomb".
"Alright, now I'm going to draw one." After "washing" five times in a row, Xiao Sao finally lifted his head and then took out an invoice from the middle under everyone's attention. He looked at it and read: "Black gold running shoes..."
"Haha, mine! Mine!" Before Xiao Sa Ge finished speaking, a middle-aged man burst out laughing and shouted. He waved the shoe box in his hand and then opened it to take out a black and gold colored shoe. Xiao Sa Ge nodded and handed the receipt back to him, while holding the microphone up to his mouth and saying: "Classic song, you point and I'll sing."
"I want to hear Zhou Huajian's 'Let Me Be Happy, Let Me Worry', it must be the original soundtrack!" The uncle hurriedly shouted out the song name he had thought of long ago.
"Alright, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Xiaoswa Ge relaxed a lot as soon as he heard the song title, because this famous singer's songs are almost all suitable for guitar accompaniment, and this song is even more classic when accompanied by guitar. So, he replied extremely affirmatively.
Love is hard to retrieve once it's gone, love lingers on, resentment lingers on.
Why must it be when it's too late, that I recall your tenderness
Give me care and relieve my worries, but instead add more troubles for me.
……
Zhou Huajian is actually a singer who is relatively easy to imitate, as long as you notice his signature nasal tone, many people can barely do it perfectly. So, this song is actually very simple, and Xiao Shuai quickly let the audience on site applaud with satisfaction several times.
"Next is the fourth song, Zhang Xueyou's 'Kiss Goodbye'..."
"Next is the fifth song Liu Huan's 'Rebirth'..."
"Below is the sixth song of Na Ying's 'The Day Doesn't Understand the Blackness of Night'..."
……
Originally, Xiaoswa thought that he would end after singing the sixth song, but he clearly did not anticipate a problem: he had already teased the viewing desire of at least 2000 spectators. In order to let him continue performing, everyone naturally could not give up, so just when he thought it was time to end the performance and close the curtain, another large group of people rushed into the store... Okay, there's no way out, since he said he would sing 10 songs, he had to fulfill his promise.
Then, he had to perform the encore songs for three "lucky customers", by this time his performance had lasted nearly 80 minutes and it was finally time to disperse.
"Brother, you're really amazing! If you release an album in the future, I'll definitely buy it."
"Brother, I'll be paying attention to you, hoping to see you on various TV shows soon."
"You're the most awesome dude I've ever seen, I totally support you!"
……
Many people said a few words to Xiao Su before leaving, whether sincere or not, and regardless of elegance or vulgarity. This kind of encouragement still warmed Xiao Su's heart, so he thanked each of them one by one.
"Come, Little Tang, this is the reward you deserve!" When people had already walked away, Xiao Tang's brother and Old Skinny together entered the specialty store. Then the latter took out a red envelope and said very sincerely: "I know that in the future if I want to invite you to perform again, I'm afraid I'll have to sell this store of mine to be able to afford the price. Don't be modest, when I was wandering around the coastal areas before, I saw many street performers who were far inferior to you. You will definitely become popular, and it will be a huge success."
The boss didn't even give Xiao Shuai Ge a chance to be humble, he directly stuffed the red envelope into his hands and nodded: "Originally, I said 500, but that game you came up with earlier was really too awesome, almost everything in my store was sold out, so I added another 500, this is absolutely what you deserve."
"Haha, then I won't be polite! " Xiao Sao Ge is not a person who doesn't make money when he has it. On the contrary, if he could use this money freely, he would immediately think it's too little. So he put it away and prepared to leave for the hotel, also buying the equipment needed for tomorrow's journey.
"Hold on, come, look at your clothes, they don't match, I'll give you a set!" The thin boss saw Xiao Sao was about to leave and hurriedly pulled him over, pointing to the shelves saying: "Take whatever you want, change everything from head to toe, when going out, one can't not pay attention to their attire!"
The skinny boss makes sense, and Xiao Ge also wants to get a full set of clothes for free, but...
"This is a gratitude, players can receive." The system actually responded very reasonably at this time?
Then I won't be polite, Xiao Ge nodded gratefully and took a pair of flat casual shoes plus a whole set of white sportswear, as well as genuine socks and hats. Wristbands were not necessary, it would look too awkward to eat with them on, and he didn't want to wear them in the hot weather anyway.
Everything was settled, Xiao Sao refused the thin boss's invitation to invite him to eat a midnight snack, and he slowly walked towards the hotel with his guitar on his back. Just as he was about to walk out of the pedestrian street gate, a bespectacled girl suddenly ran out and smiled at Xiao Sao, who was startled, saying: "Xiao Tang, can I have a chat with you?"
"Want to chat? Do you have any plans for me?" Xiaohe Ge couldn't help but mutter to himself, because...
