In fact, in the early 1980s, when the Internet had not yet started, mobile phones were not promoted, and even having a phone at home was worth showing off, various salon gatherings were very popular in China.
Especially at the beginning of the reform, due to the honeymoon relationship between China and the United States, a large number of Western equipment, products and values were poured into the country. Young people especially liked this kind of Western-style salon gatherings.
However, due to factors such as income level, education level, and of course cultural traditions, those who can participate in high-end salon gatherings during this period are indeed mostly middle-class people such as teachers, poets, musicians, etc. young people.
Especially for some more professional salon gatherings, such as poetry salons, painters salons, etc., the requirements are even more stringent and professional, and non-professionals are not allowed to enter.
If this is the case, then it seems that this so-called music salon is indeed a serious gathering and should not be a smoky place.
Another question, the main purpose of the gathering here is to discuss each other's new songs and exchange information about foreign music.
Of course, this is just like the group of authors in later generations. In the beginning, they might really discuss some writing methods and experiences. As time goes by, and as we get to know each other for a long time, few of them will talk about that, and they will all start talking nonsense. Talk about being cute and ask for money, but no one talks about serious things anyway.
The same is true here. They are said to be concert friends, but in actual conversation, except for explaining the doubts of the newbie Cao Zhiqiang at the beginning, the rest of the time they talk about their parents' personal differences.
So-and-so has a mistress, so-and-so has a lover, so-and-so wants to do business, so-and-so wants to go abroad, and so on.
In short, the topics that everyone talked about afterwards were basically gossips about various companies. Few people talked about music. Even if they did occasionally talk, they would always talk about Hong Kong and Taiwan singers or new Hong Kong and Taiwan pop songs.
When Cao Zhiqiang secretly asked Hao Shuwen why everyone was talking about family affairs all day long in the music salon, Hao Shuwen said that now is just a foreplay, a warm-up session, and then there will be a lottery performance, and the person who is drawn will go on stage to perform.
This so-called performance on stage is not just a casual performance, such as telling a joke, performing a stand-up comedy, etc. That won't work.
Since it is a music salon, you must play an instrument when performing on stage.
You can play the harmonica, the flute, the accordion and the violin.
Of course, if you want to play the piano, that's not possible, because there is no piano here.
All in all, the so-called drawing of lots is a personal talent show, or a personal musical instrument solo time. The person who is drawn has to perform an instrument on stage, and everyone can enjoy it together.
Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang nodded, feeling that this was more or less the same as searching for a close friend in the mountains and rivers.
How should I put it, although the venue is a bit crude, the quality of the people gathering here is good, the format and content are also good, and it does have a somewhat professional feel.
In addition, I would like to say that this salon does provide a communication platform for everyone, allowing everyone to get to know each other and speak freely, which is very conducive to expanding contacts.
For example, Cao Zhiqiang took this opportunity to wander around. When he saw a beautiful girl, he came up to greet her. When he asked, he asked her name, where she lived and where she worked.
Well, this is not that Cao Zhiqiang is playing hooligan, but that he is expanding his network and getting to know more professionals, which he may be able to use one day.
Don't tell me, it's really a bit rewarding.
For example, he just met a music teacher from the first division.
The teacher's surname is Lin Fangfang. He is only twenty-five years old this year, but he is already a music teacher at Capital Normal University.
They promised him that as long as Cao Zhiqiang could really afford thirty yuan a month for tutoring, they would introduce him to a reliable female student to tutor his younger sister in elementary school.
This, of course, made Cao Zhiqiang overjoyed. At least Qiao Simei's teacher was found.
Soon, the lottery performance began.
Here, because Cao Zhiqiang joined midway, his name was not included in the lottery box. He just had to appreciate it.
Although the show was very vulgar, the people who performed on stage were of decent quality.
Most of the people who were selected to perform on stage played violin or accordion, and some played pipa and erhu. These instruments were the most popular. There was also a harmonica player, but there were no others for the time being.
For example, there is no piano player this time. I don’t know if he missed the draw or something.
The lottery performance activity lasted for about half an hour before it was over.
If you calculate the time, it's actually not that long.
After the lottery-style personal performance ended, two young guys suddenly came and started to come to the wall. Suddenly, they opened a red cloth covering something like a cabinet.
As soon as the red cloth was opened, the true face inside was revealed.
Hey guys, that's not a cabinet, that's a stereo combo.
Combination speakers are an absolute luxury these days, and most people can't even buy them.
Although Cao Zhiqiang did not know the specific model of the speaker, looking at the number of speakers, it was obviously a 5.1-channel surround sound system.
Take a closer look at the logo. Good guy, Yamaha, imported from Japan!
This kind of thing was not cheap in later generations. At this time, it seems that this kind of thing can only be purchased with foreign exchange coupons, and the price is very expensive, at least several thousand.
In other words, this is definitely not something that ordinary families can afford.
Even Cao Zhiqiang can't buy a set of stereo speakers now, either because he doesn't have enough money or because he doesn't have foreign exchange coupons.
Of course, if you are willing to spend a lot of money to find connections, you can still get smuggled goods, but Cao Zhiqiang has no interest in doing that kind of thing, so he can't do it.
After the two young men adjusted it, they nodded to a fashionably dressed young woman, which meant that there was no problem.
The fashionably dressed young woman smiled, held a wired microphone and said to everyone: "Everyone, now comes everyone's favorite dance party, let's dance together to the music!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a soothing song began to play from the 5.1-channel speaker. Cao Zhiqiang knew as soon as he heard it that it turned out to be "fly me to the moon"!
That's all. What's more important is that with the appearance of this classic jazz dance music, many people walked onto the field with a smile and started dancing.
Yes, a lot of people ended up doing ballroom dancing.
There are men and women who dance together, women who dance together, and men who dance together.
Among them, the most common ones are women dancing together, followed by men and women dancing together, and the least number of men dancing together. There are only three pairs of men dancing together in total.
Okay, once he saw this situation, Cao Zhiqiang immediately understood.
Selling dog meat on a sheep's head, isn't this just a dance party?
In name, it's a music salon where you can have fun and meet friends, but in fact, it's just a secret dance hall.
The dance is a great place. As soon as young friends who don't know each other meet and dance, their feelings will become deeper immediately and they will all be very happy.
It can be said that during this period, there was basically no young man or woman who did not like to dance. It was just a question of whether to give in and whether to dare.
In fact, this period was not that open, and things like dancing were still very strict. If young strangers and strangers danced hand in hand in public in an informal setting, they might be arrested, which was very troublesome.
It seems that the first formal dance hall in China has not officially appeared yet, right?
Therefore, people in this period had to be secretive if they wanted to dance, and most of them had black-light dances.
Most of these dances are illegal, and the police will punish them if they catch them.
No wonder, the environment of this place is so secretive, candidates must be screened strictly, and militiamen stand guard...
No wonder Cao Zhiqiang thought it was weird before, but if this was a place that was called a music exchange but actually held a dance party, then everything would make sense.
Moreover, the meeting time here is also very particular, not in the evening, but in the afternoon, and the meeting ends in the evening...
Tsk tsk, this organizer is a genius, he has captured the police mentality of this period to death.
Also, most of the black light dance parties during this period were held at night, so when the police arrested black light dance parties, they also conducted raids at night.
The organizers did the opposite and held the event during the day instead of at night, and in the afternoon, which avoided many problems.
But even if someone reports that there is an illegal dance here, it will not be easy for the police to find this place. Even if they come, it will be easy to deal with them.
First of all, this is a suburb. It is an area that has no control over the area. The current police force cannot take care of it at all.
Secondly, this is a forest area. There is only one road in and out. Not only are there famous posts, but there are probably hidden posts along the way. It will take time for the police to get here.
Once the police came, they would have been discovered long ago, and there was no such thing as a sudden attack.
If the secret whistle notices that the police are coming, as long as it is notified through a special method, everyone will immediately stop dancing and directly exchange music.
Well, even if the police come and say they hear music here, that's fine.
This is a salon for music lovers to communicate. Everyone has to perform their talents and enjoy music. It is normal to have music.
And it's in broad daylight, not at night. As long as it's a high-end music exchange, especially if there are many college teachers who teach music...
Oops, even if the police come, as long as people don't dance in front of you and you can't catch them dancing, then nothing will happen!
To put it bluntly, this place is secretive and remote enough, and the people who come to play have enough reaction time. Unless the police come by helicopter and perform airborne raids, they will never be able to catch the pigtails here, and they will never be able to catch everyone dancing.
Secret photography may be a problem, but taking pictures here is not allowed, let alone video recording. In addition, in this era, there are no pinhole video recorders here, so there is no such thing as secret photography.
The place is remote and secretive enough, everyone has enough time to react, and there is a high-level excuse as a concert friend as a cover. If the organizer has some background and can talk to the police about the law and evidence, then it will be no problem at all.
"Awesome, awesome!"
Cao Zhiqiang was amazed when he thought of this and sighed for the organizer of this salon.
It's definitely not an ordinary person who can organize such an event here.
Even if you can think of this method, if you don't have enough energy, you won't be able to create this kind of salon.
It's hard to find this big house in the forest that doesn't care about the boundaries, let alone find militiamen to guard it.
Now it seems that this salon is not just a day or two, it must have been a long time.
He hasn't been exposed for so long. This man has two brushes.
More importantly, through this kind of secret and private gathering, a circle can be gathered quickly.
Everyone has a common hobby and secret. What is this?
This is a natural network of connections!
With such a network of contacts, what can't you do in the future?
As we were playing around, we started a circle.
Damn, what a talent!
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed again.
Sure enough, what is restricted or not can only be restricted to ordinary people.
For those powerful people, so-called restrictions are always just a joke.
While Cao Zhiqiang was standing aside sighing and sighing, Hao Shuwen suddenly jumped over and patted Cao Zhiqiang on the shoulder, startling him.
