Chapter Forty-Nine: A Blockbuster
Betty's exclamation was not heard by anyone, so naturally it did not cause any repercussions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Dean on the stage waited until Xiao Yao's solo was over before continuing into the microphone: "The second thing, our band has an official name from today onwards, called Immortals. And the song we are going to perform today is also called "Immortals", the creator of this song is Yang, so this song is also the first song of our band of its own, and today is the first public performance of this song, and it is dedicated to you here. ”
"Oh yes, original song!" shouted the audience. A rock band that can create and have its own works is a rock band in the true sense of the word.
"This can't be! How could it be? It must be a bad song!" In the cheering audience, several basketball team members had obvious expressions of disbelief, and Joey was still reading it in disbelief.
A prelude played by an electronic keyboard sounds, and the beautiful but absolutely unfamiliar melody makes everyone suddenly full of anticipation for this song. This prelude alone almost foreshadows that Joey's wish is about to come to naught.
When the intro ended, drums, guitar, and bass joined in, and Dean stepped up to the mic to sing.
"the/say/we/are/what/we/are,but/we/don't/have/to/be..."
So from the first sentence, the audience began to cheer and scream, and as the song progressed, it never stopped.
And the performance of the band is definitely worthy of the enthusiasm of the audience.
First of all, Dean is the lead singer of the band, although most of the lead singers seem to be roaring hoarsely when the rock songs are sung, but the audience can clearly hear Dean singing this song A lot better than when he performed before. The grasp of the pitch seems to have been raised a notch.
Then in the arrangement of the singing, the song arranges the chorus and backing vocals of all the band members at the end of several sentences. For example, after Dean sings the phrase "i'llbethewatcher", the rest of the band sings a "watcher" in harmony, which can not only bring out a vocal echo effect, but also enhance the appeal of the song to the audience.
At the same time, the configuration of the dual vocals can make Dean sing the phrase "not/for/long, for/long" after singing, Xiao Yao will follow up and sing "and/live/with/me/for/ever/now...", so that Dean can prolong the pronunciation of the last "long" with effect, without worrying about missing a beat and not being able to pick up the following lyrics. Similarly, after Xiao Yao sang the second stanza "not/for/long, for/long", Dean's "because/we/could/be..." also allowed Xiao Yao to sing the last "long" to the fullest.
In the chorus, the word "immortals" is not just a long, tonal "immooo... immortals", and the singing of this word is a collective chorus of all the band members, and the shocking effect of the whole member's voice even drove the audience who heard the song for the first time to sing "immooo... immortals".
The enthusiastic response and excitement of the audience in turn affected the band members performing on stage. As the lead singer of the band, Dean is jumping on the stage when he doesn't have to sing, and he basically never stops. Guitarist Xiao Yao also experienced such a warm atmosphere for the first time, the guitar played more and more energetically, and the expression on his face and the posture of playing the piano became more and more cool and stylish.
George, the bassist standing on the side of the stage, also jumped up and down to the rhythm of the music, which he didn't dare to do before when he thought he wasn't skilled enough, but under the influence of the atmosphere of the scene, he couldn't care about it at the moment. Mike, the keyboardist on the other side, couldn't jump like Dean and George, but his body swaying up and down to the rhythm of the music also showed that he was immersed in the music due to the atmosphere of the scene.
And to say that the biggest change is still the female drummer Sameen. Although she is a sexy beauty, she has always shown a cool and glamorous image in the band performance. Today, she has already shaken her hair with the movement of swinging her head, although she is still very cool, but her cold image has completely disappeared.
Lead singer Dean and beautiful drummer Sarmien were the focus of the audience's attention to the band. Before the two chorus parts appeared, each arranged a guitar and a bass solo, and the prelude was a keyboard solo, so in the performance of this song, every member of the band had their own highlight moments, and they also left a deep impression on the audience. At this moment, in the eyes of the audience, it seems that every member of the band is shining.
“immortals!” As Dean sang the last lyrics, all the band's instruments stopped neatly, and the whole song ended neatly with the cheers and screams of the audience.
Although the members of the band were all excited and showed a different state from their usual performances, after a week of non-stop hard rehearsals, the members who had become familiar with the whole song to the point of becoming accustomed to it did not make any obvious mistakes during the performance, so that the whole song was performed completely and smoothly from beginning to end.
Whether it is in terms of the quality of the song's lyrics, instrumental arrangement, singing arrangements during the performance, the arrangement of solo performances by individual instruments, or the effect of the band's live performance, this performance has reached the level of a professional rock band. And it turned out to be a student band in the school that everyone was not optimistic about before, and the audience at the scene was a little overjoyed.
So it's no surprise that after the performance, the student audience raised their hands and waved their fists upwards and shouted "Encore".
Dean, who was flushed with joy and excitement, listened to the audience enthusiastically shouting "Encore", and leaned into Xiao Yao's ear and whispered, "What should I do?
"Encore?" Xiao Yao glanced at Dean, who was flushed, and said, "What is Encore singing? I have practiced this song with you." Do you want to improvise on the spot?"
Seeing that Dean was about to nod his head when he was too excited, Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "There is a saying in Huaxia that you will accept it when you see it! Today's live performance of our song is so good, it has definitely given everyone a big surprise at the school celebration event." Do we dare to perform a song that has not been rehearsed at all? Do we want to give everyone a big scare after the surprise? Isn't it all in vain that our week's hard rehearsal and the perfect performance of this song just now?"
"Well, you have a point. Dean thought about it and accepted Xiao Yao's opinion. Walk back to the microphone and press your hands down to the audience and shout, "Hey, guys!"
Hearing Dean speak again, the audience slowly fell silent.
"Thank you so much for enjoying our performance, but we're sorry that we only had one song on the school celebration schedule, so we didn't prepare an encore. If you like our songs and our performances, please look forward to and support our next live performance. Dean said loudly to the audience.
"Immortals, again!immortals, again!"
The audience didn't know who suddenly shouted, and the audience thought about it, since they didn't prepare an encore, let's do "Immortals" again, anyway, everyone feels that they haven't heard enough.
"Immortals, again!immortals, again!"
As a result, the audience slowly began to sound a request for "Immortals" to be performed again. This shout changed from small to loud, and finally became a collective chant of the student audience.
Dean turned his head again to look at Xiao Yao, whose face had regained his composure the fastest. Seeing Xiao Yao's firm shake of his head, Dean had no choice but to turn back to the audience and say, "Immortals is over today's performance, thank you!"
"Oh no!" saw the band members begin to pack up their instruments, and the audience, who knew that Encore was hopeless, began to dissipate with regret and dissatisfaction on their faces. The band performance was the last program of today's celebration. The end of the band's performance means that the process of today's celebration has ended, and everyone can leave and go home.
"Cindy, I'd like to take a walk around the school again. Betty Bellette looked at Cindy beside her and said, "Now that the school celebration activities are all over, you don't have to accompany me anymore." ”
"Okay," Cindy smiled and nodded, "Have a nice time at school." With that, Cindy walked away quickly.
As a woman, the last thing she wants to do is to stand next to another woman who is stronger in figure and appearance. Hearing Betty say this, Cindy hurriedly left as if it were an amnesty.
Seeing Cindy leaving, Betty quietly walked to the side of the stage closest to Xiao Yao, and shouted to Xiao Yao, who was cleaning up her musical instrument with her back to the stage, "Hey!
Hearing a shout behind him, Xiao Yao turned around curiously.
"Betty!" Compared with Xiao Yao, who has grown from ten to seventeen years old and has a lot of changes in appearance, Betty Bellette's face has hardly changed after seven years, so Xiao Yao, who has a good memory, recognized her at first sight and shouted happily.
"I'm glad you remember me. Betty tilted her head slightly, looked at Xiao Yao on the stage and smiled happily, "Long time no see, little young!"
"Nice to meet you. Xiao Yao saw Betty looking up at him, so he jumped off the stage, walked to Betty's side, and said to her with a smile: "Although I am still very young, I am not young anymore. As he spoke, Xiao Yao also raised his hand and gestured horizontally on his head.
As a former top model in the fashion industry, Betty Belette is still a good fashion taste, and her clothes are always trendy and beautiful. But considering that there is a lot of walking to attend the school's anniversary today, and many of the events are held on the lawn, Betty did not wear high heels today, but wore a pair of stylish flat-heeled boots. Therefore, Xiao Yao, who is now about 1.8 meters tall, stands in front of Betty in flat-heeled boots, and is already taller than her.
"Hey, that's Betty Bellette? She took the initiative to talk to Young?" George, who noticed the commotion, surprised to the other members of the band, "Jan's charm is so great?" (To be continued.) )
