Chapter Seventy-Four: A Drum Show
The filming director didn't have time to stop it, and Joan had already walked quickly to the backstage. Transported to the backstage of the studio of the Star TV building along with the drum kit, there is also a drummer, a bassist and a guitarist, who are also some of the most famous bands in Los Angeles.
Jo Ann greeted the band mates with bass and guitar hugs — bumping shoulders and looking familiar. Especially the drummer, after seeing Jo An, without saying a word, he directly handed over the drumstick to her, and together with the bassist and guitarist, he encouraged Jo Ann to come to a section in English.
Seeing that Qiao An took the drumstick from the other party without hesitation, took off the woolen coat on his body and threw it aside, and tried to knock a few sticks in a hurry, not only was the director a little confused, but Lu Yan was also a little confused.
The bassist doesn't seem to be familiar with Jo An, plus the Americans are already more outgoing, and they whistle in public, with a thick Indian accent slang, Lu Yan didn't understand it for a while, but it is impossible for Jo An, who has been in the United States for so many years, not to understand.
The corner of the right side of his mouth was slightly raised, and Qiao An's smile was a little evil, and he pulled a pair of unopened disposable chopsticks left by the staff member from the side, neatly coiled his hair, and then raised the drumstick.
Knock knock, knock——!
Knock knock, knock——!
Knock knock, knock——!
Knock knock, knock——!
Knock knock......
After the monotonous rhythm, the drumbeat sounded like a shower, and the slightly empty backstage was broken by this sudden strong sound, not only Lu Yan and the follow-up director, but also a group of staff who were busy with the work at hand in the backstage also felt the surging excitement driven by this sudden rhythm!
The bassist and guitarist look at each other and follow the rhythm of the strings, blending in. It seems that it has been rehearsed countless times before, and people can't find a flaw.
Qiao An in front of people always looks elegant and calm, and always has a confident confidence when talking to people, how can he ever have such an uninhibited and even a little wild side?
Playing the drum is a cool thing, and the powerful rhythm is a kind of catharsis and release for the drummer, and a shock and enjoyment for the listener.
Joan doesn't just know how to play the drums, as the rhythm goes, she is obviously a little high, and she even plays tricks, one hand between the drums and cymbals quickly striking, so fast that there is no shadow, the other hand is rotating the drum stick, flying at the fingertips, but more than ten seconds of effort, the flying drum stick also joined the performance, showing her strong percussion skills.
In the denser and denser drum beats, everyone's heartbeat is getting faster and faster, such as facing the huge waves in the face, slapping heavily on the beach, and finally cooperating with the guitarist's solo, the drumsticks are struck on the two cymbals with a small and rapid beat, and finally the "bang" sounds, officially ended.
Qiao An's two hands holding the drumstick were still in mid-air, tilting his head slightly, and his eyes closed, as if he was reminiscing about the hearty scene just now.
The surrounding "audience" was also immersed in it, and did not have time to relax.
The first to react was the three band members, guitarist, bassist, and drummer, who let out a strange cry of celebration, and in turn reached out to high-five Joan, admiring Joan's performance in English with a strong local accent.
And Qiao An reached out and pulled out the disposable chopsticks that fixed her hair, and with the wildness that had not yet been pushed, she glanced at Lu Yan provocatively - of course, "provocation" was Lu Yan's self-feeling.
After confirming from the follow-up photographer that Fang Cai's performance had been recorded from beginning to end, he took a few steps forward and hugged Qiao An's hand, who was greeting and communicating with his old friend: "Mr. Qiao, you are simply A blast! Can you keep this party? Please!"

Originally, it was indispensable, and at the strong request of the program team, Qiao An quickly agreed to this proposal.
At the same time, the follow-up team communicated with several band members through the translator, and found out that Joan had actually joined the band as a backup drummer sometime during her college days!
This probably explains why there were photos of Qiao An with so many men in the bar in the black material released by Yao Yi at the beginning.
This is enough to show the horror of public opinion, a photo that is already very ordinary, using words to distort and guide, can cause such a terrible wave of public opinion.
Although the content of this interview was recorded, Joan didn't care about making these clarifications, and it didn't matter if the program team would edit them into the program.
However, the follow-up team still recorded these shots one by one.

Domestic food has a fatal attraction to foreign friends, the province where C city is located is the birthplace of one of the eight major cuisines in China, and because of the developed entertainment industry, the celebrity effect has led to the huge development of the local food industry.
Jo Ann is not a stingy person, and of course she is very happy to take Nabel and her friends in the band who used to make their debut in the bar together to eat and eat together, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
City C cuisine is famous for its spiciness, almost to the point of no spicy food, and many foreigners can't accept such hot and spicy food. But let's not forget that the Americas are the origin of chili peppers, and Nabel and his party have a kinship with the hot and spicy food.
However, considering their next program recording, for the sake of Lu Yan and Nabel's voices, Qiao An, who has the most right to speak, is just a little spicy to satisfy her greed today, and when the program recording is completed, it will definitely make everyone spicy!

recorded two episodes of "You Come to Listen to My Concert" in a row, whether it was the program team or the artist team, they were deeply tired under the high-intensity continuous rotation work.
However, Lu Yan's achievements are very gratifying: the eighth game "If You Are Well" won the first place; because of the joining of Nabel, the qualifying gang sang the MV "Overture of the Dead" of the large-scale online game "World of Warcraft 3", which hit the feelings of the majority of listeners from the end of the 70s to the 90s.
Physically exhausted but very energetic, at this time, it is definitely a good choice to go for a big meal.
However, an unexpected phone call made Joan stunned-
"Xiao An, Xiao Xu had a car accident!"
On the other end of the phone, Aunt Gu's panicked voice was full of crying. Just such eight words, it makes Joan feel like falling into an ice cellar!
