The seven storey European bell tower stands out like a flock of chickens in the architectural community of Lan Kwai Fong.

The vicissitudes of a century have left indelible traces on this building. After wind and rain, it still stands proudly, silently witnessing the rise and fall of Xiangjiang River.

Compared with other bars in Lan Kwai Fong, the external decoration of the bell tower bar has more flavor precipitated over the years. It is deep, introverted and full of style. A simple copper signboard with beautiful hand carved fonts inadvertently attracts the attention of passers-by and tourists under the orange light of antique wind lights.

Unfortunately, the bell tower bar tonight is not open to the public, but there are many figures holding long guns and short guns wandering in the street outside the bar. Undoubtedly, they are paparazzi who come to grab the news.

Bell Tower Music Salon is a gathering of Xiangjiang musicians. Its initiator is a famous figure in Xiangjiang pop music. The time of holding it is not fixed, and the object of invitation is also not fixed.

But those who are qualified to be invited are people with status, status or ability in the circle.

Therefore, it is normal for paparazzi to appear outside the bar. They have the most sensitive sense of smell. They will know any disturbance in the industry and appear in a specific place at the first time.

At 4 p.m., far from the start of Xiangjiang nightlife, most bars in Lan Kwai Fong have opened, and the streets are full of people, many of them tourists from all over the world.

Flash lights suddenly lit up in the crowd, accompanied by high or low screams.

"Wu Yanan! Jiang Wei! Look, it's Zhu Wenhua!"

These names represent the shining stars in Xiangjiang pop music world, so they immediately attracted the attention of passers-by, and everyone gathered around to watch the excitement.

The celebrities identified by the paparazzi accelerated into the bar under the cover of the assistant.

The bar has already arranged security personnel at the door. Idle people and paparazzi who are not invited can't get in.

In fact, as a gathering of celebrities, the privacy of the Bell Tower Music Salon is not strong. Whenever it is held, the news will spread to everyone in the circle in a very short time, and the paparazzi who hear the news will bring some trouble to the participants.

However, this trouble is nothing to the people at the party.

Although the Bell Tower Music Salon is just a gathering of insiders, its influence on Xiangjiang pop music can not be underestimated. To a certain extent, it has become the wind vane of Xiangjiang pop music.

However, it must be admitted that the status of Xiangjiang pop music is quite embarrassing. It is far from the scenery of the past heyday. The influence of the Bell Tower Music Salon is also declining, but it is getting higher and higher.

When Lu Chen and Chen Feier arrived at the bell tower bar, there was a famous singer in front of them. The paparazzi focused on each other, so they ignored them.

The invitation letter was presented to the security guard at the door of the bar, and they were able to enter the bar hall smoothly.

The decoration style of the bell tower bar is very good. Designers' intentions and creativity can be seen everywhere. On the right side of the door is a long starlight wall, on which hundreds of photos of stars and celebrities are hung.

"Mr. Lu Chen, Miss Chen Feier"

Lu Chen and Chen Feier were greeted by a graceful middle-aged man. He was wearing a white casual suit, with a warm smile and gentle elegance, which had the charm of a mature man.

"I'm Guo Huai'an, the host of this Bell Tower Music Salon. Welcome to the two!"

Of course, the host of the Bell Tower Music Salon is not unknown. Guo Huaian is a famous host of Hong Kong Satellite TV, a famous mouthpiece in the news circle and a columnist.

Guo Huaian was born in a famous family in Xiangjiang. He has a wide range of contacts outside the inner circle. In addition, he has a good character, so he has presided over several consecutive Bell Tower Music salons.

When ye Xuan called to invite Lu Chen, he specially mentioned the host.

In fact, because of Ye Xuan's position in the Xiangjiang pop music world, he is not qualified to directly invite Lu Chen and Chen Feier to participate in the Bell Tower Music Salon. However, as a participant in many music salons, he recommended it to the initiator and called Lu Chen after the latter's approval.

The invitation was sent to Lu Chen's studio yesterday.

"Hello, Mr. Guo."

Lu Chen and Chen Feier shook hands with him respectively.

When shaking hands with Chen Feier, Guo Huaian's eyes flashed a stunning color. He said half jokingly: "I found it a mistake to invite Miss Chen Feier today."

Chen Feier was stunned: "huh?"

Guo Huaian immediately smiled and said, "because your real person is more beautiful than the picture, everyone's attention will focus on you at that time, so no one will pay attention to me as the host."

Lu Chen and Chen fei'er lost their smiles. Guo Huai'an is a funny person and speaks jokes well.

Most importantly, he talked to them in standard Mandarin rather than Cantonese.

Lu Chen and Chen Feier are both from the mainland, which is an attitude of respect.

Chen Feier said with a smile: "I think Mr. Guo is funny enough to make everyone ignore my existence."

Guo Huaian laughed: "Miss Chen is really joking."

He apologized to them and said, "there are still many guests coming, so excuse me. Please help yourself. How about we talk later?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "thank you."

The overall pattern of the bell tower bar is similar to that of many ordinary bars. It is divided into upper and lower floors, and the performance stage is suspended in the middle. However, most of the tables and chairs have been removed and replaced with more comfortable sofa soft seats because of the need to hold a salon.

Of course, there must be a buffet table covered with white cloth, on which various delicious dishes have been placed.

Vanilla stewed mutton, grilled filet mignon, American fried bacon, fruit salad and cream cake are attractive on the silver tableware, and the fragrance is greedy.

It is said that the independent dinners of the Bell Tower Music Salon are run by a famous western chef in Xiangjiang. The materials are carefully selected, the production is excellent, and the specifications are quite high.

Although it hasn't arrived yet, it is estimated that it is to take care of the needs of the guests, so the buffet was prepared early.

Twenty or thirty guests have come in front of Lu Chen and Chen Feier. They either sit on the sofa in twos and threes, chat and laugh, or enjoy delicious food with champagne or dinner plates. The atmosphere at the scene is warm without noise.

Lu Chen reached for a waiter and asked for two glasses of champagne and one for Chen Feier.

Then I'm going to find a place to sit down first.

As a result, the location was not found. Someone found him first: "Lu Chen!"——

The first is to send it first, because we will attend the Mid Autumn Festival Party of the Federation of literary and art circles in the evening, so the second is more tentative.

Author Jun here wishes you a happy mid autumn festival.

It's hard to go out in the evening of strong wind and heavy rain. My mobile phone has received several messages of typhoon. (to be continued)
