Chapter 31: Red High Heels
"It's just the preliminaries...... Where did you get so many audiences?Is it so powerful?" Xu Wen, who was really a little incomprehensible, turned his head and asked Xie Yuyun.
Xie Yuyun, who was humming a tune, replied when he heard this: "Because there are many participating teams with their own fans, do you think they are all newcomers?"
"Why are you famous and coming to participate in the competition?" asked Xu Wen in confusion.
"After all, bands are relatively niche, and there are not many opportunities to express themselves, so many people regard this kind of competition as a big music festival. ”
"Oh~ I see. Xu Wen nodded.
Under the unified organization of the backstage staff, Xu Wen and the others got their own entry numbers, and the rest was to line up and wait until they were called to their own numbers to perform.
In addition, the arrangement of various musical instruments, whether or not they need the help of off-site musicians, and other details have also been explained in a unified manner.
At this time, the host on the stage has almost heated up the atmosphere, and then as long as he has introduced the four judges, the first group of participating bands should go up to perform.
"Suck ...... Call...... Suck ......"
When he heard the host invite the first band, Zhuo Ling, who was unusually quiet today, suddenly began to take a deep breath.
Although Xie Yuyun and Wu Chang on the side were not so exaggerated, their expressions were also extremely serious.
Xu Wendu, who originally felt that he should be nervous, had to reassure them first and said, "Haven't you ever sung and participated in music festivals, this little scene is nothing, right?"
Xie Yuyun let out a long breath and said: "Nervousness will not disappear just because you have participated, don't worry, it's just for a while, just wait until you go to perform." ”
"You...... Are you sure?" Xu Wen asked after looking at Zhuo Ling, who had already started doing squats next to him.
"She's ......" Xie Yuyun, who couldn't explain it, picked up Zhuo Ling and said, "Can't you calm down." ”
"Because I'm really afraid of being eliminated. Zhuo Ling said with an aggrieved face.
Xie Yuyun pinched her face, twisted it and said, "You will only make us accelerate our elimination......"
"Alright. Xu Wen pulled Xie Yuyun's hand away, "Isn't it counterproductive for you to scare her like this?" After speaking, he looked at Zhuo Ling and said, "I said that you are a very talented guitarist, as long as you play like we practiced, we will definitely be able to pass the preliminaries easily." ”
Looking at Xu Wen's serious eyes, Zhuo Ling's face turned red suddenly, and he lowered his head and said in a voice that probably only he could hear: "Well, I know." ”
Just when Xu Wen was about to say something, Xie Yuyun pulled him away and said, "You will make her more nervous like this, okay! ”
"Huh?" Xu Wen looked inexplicable, but he had to stand aside obediently.
"Hold up your chest that holds the boat, no matter how hard your fist is, you are fearless~"
Although he couldn't see the live performances of those bands backstage, the music could still be heard clearly, and after listening to more than a dozen sets of performances, Xu Wen couldn't help frowning.
"It's not good......"
Except for a band called the Big Muppet that played well, everything else was very average, and it could even be said to be a rollover.
At the beginning of the song, the drummer "drops", the guitarist plays faster and faster, the keyboardist keeps squeezing into the guitar area, and so on.
Anyway, the rhythm is a mess, and the lead singer has all kinds of demons and monsters, and the broken sound is a small problem for them, and there are many people who are out of tune in both sentences on the field.
There are also a few who run and run and let go of themselves directly, making it feel like they have adapted the song, and in the end, it is estimated that the other members of the band are also stunned, and a song is stunned to play into noise, and they are directly driven off the stage.
Xu Wen really wanted to go to the audience to see how these people danced on stage.
Watching another band walk back to the backstage dejectedly, Xu Wen asked Xie Yuyun in a low voice: "What's the situation, didn't you say that you have to pass the audition to come here, at this level?"
Xie Yuyun spread his hands: "After all, the audition is a DEMO, you can come again if you don't play well in a place, but not on the spot." ”
"Sure enough, the scene is the most testing of the band......" Xu Wen sighed, looked at the other teams backstage, they didn't seem to have any feelings about the performance of the bands in front of them, and they were still chatting to themselves.
"What's the matter, my leather shoes Rock No, the thief is expensive. ”
"Hey, why doesn't my effect light up? Brother Xu, help me take a look. ”
"I'm a little uncomfortable in my throat, don't I have a throat treasure? ”
"Hey, how about I'll do this pose after the performance later, is it enough?"
……
Well, I guess that's self-confidence. ’
"The band, ready to take the stage. ”
While Xu Wen was still observing the other band players, the backstage staff shouted loudly.
"It's coming!" Xie Yuyun responded, picked up the keyboard and trotted over, and Xu Wen and the others immediately followed.
"Well, wait here. The staff stood at the entrance of the stage and nodded at Xie Yuyun.
"Hoo ......"
Taking a deep breath, Xie Yuyun turned around and stretched out his right hand towards them, Zhuo Ling immediately reacted and pressed his right hand up, followed by Wu Chang and Xu Wen.
Xie Yuyun glanced at the three of them with a smile and shouted, "Let's go and polish their ears." ”
"Come on!!"
"Next group, the Band, please take the stage!"
The four people who had just finished drumming up walked onto the stage in high spirits, but the situation off the stage was completely different from what they imagined......
Originally, they thought that even if they didn't cheer, they would have some applause, but the audience looked uninterested, and they almost rolled their eyes.
'Tsk...... Those bands in front of us really got us off to a good start...... 'Xu Wen thought as he sat on the drum bench.
Looking at the lifeless audience and the four judges who had no expressions, Xie Yuyun put down the keyboard and took the microphone and shouted: "Hello everyone, we are the Lingwu Band from Zhujiang, this "Red High Heels" is for everyone, I hope you can like it." ”
This "Red High Heels" is a song that Xie Yuyun personally likes very much, and it is also one of the tracks she has mastered the most, so after discussion, everyone unanimously agreed to use this song to participate in the competition.
But after all, it was a band competition, and in order to highlight the strength of the band, Xu Wen changed the prelude a little longer, and created a feeling of returning to tranquility after the explosion.
And the moment the drums sounded, the audience, who were already looking at the stage lazily, suddenly pricked up their ears and looked at them in unison.
