Chapter 207: The Queen of Heaven
Audition in advance has two main functions, one is to let the audience have a good listening quality, and the other is to let the musicians on stage hear each other's voices.
The audience is so poor that it doesn't matter how well they sing, and conversely, if the musicians on stage can't hear each other, even if the audience sounds good.
In larger venues, all the instruments, including the drums, are sent through the PA system, so the sound on the set is controlled by one or two tuners. A voice in charge of the outfield, that is, the voice that the audience hears from the audience. One is in charge of the infield, which is the sound heard by every musician on stage. Even larger venues may have several infield sound controls, so that each member of the orchestra can get the soundstage they need.
For example, stage number one at this moment.
When I went to the stage to audition yesterday, everyone in the band adjusted their respective equipment parameters, why can't I get it right when I plug in the cable today?
It's so uncomfortable.
It's not a question of whether they can sing or not, each musician can't hear their own voice, they play their own game, and the rhythm is easy to mess up, not to mention that Liu Liar rarely rehearses with the band recently.
If you try to do it again, the time will be delayed, the performance time is only 40 minutes, and the audition will be delayed for more than 10 or 20 minutes, so there will not be much time left for the performance.
Seeing that the performance had not started for a long time, the audience began to heckle.
"Why don't you start yet?"
"Is something wrong?"
"What are you doing, just waiting for this show. ”
"Hurry up, I've been waiting for a long time. ”
"Can you hurry up?"
Liu Pian picked up the microphone and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, there is a little problem with the equipment temporarily, give us a few minutes, and we will deal with it immediately." ”
"We're willing to wait!" Tang Nuxia shouted from the audience.
"It's okay, you can get it, we can afford to wait. ”
"If I can't see your performance today, I won't leave!"
Most fans are still reasonable, but if you delay for a while, you won't have too many opinions.
But the band has a headache, this is not a problem of delaying for a while, the tone is not tuned well, and the performance effect will be reduced later.
As a band, music is paramount, and no one wants to be slashed for a good performance.
After a while, a staff member stepped forward and said, "Sorry, this is a mistake on the part of our organizer, there is a problem with the sound control, and the data of your audition yesterday was lost." ”
"What should I do then?" Liu Pian asked, now that the mistake had happened, it was useless to complain, and he could only think about how to solve it.
"Why don't you try it again on the spot? If you hurry up, you can finish it in ten minutes. ”
Ten minutes....
It's been delayed for five minutes now, and if it's delayed for more than ten minutes, half of the performance time is gone, and I'm still singing chicken feathers.
Liu Pian looked back at everyone, and everyone was staring at him.
Li Yu: "Liu Pian, you can do it." ”
Huang Liang sat in front of the drum kit, and the drumstick rotated fancy in his hand, "I support the eldest brother." ”
Hu Chao also agreed.
Liu Xiaohang played with the bass and smiled casually, "In my opinion, let's just start singing." The brothers have cooperated for more than ten years, and they can cooperate tacitly without audition. ”
"I'm just worried about the quality of the audience's listening. ”
"Then sing it and tune it at the same time. ”
Liu Pian: "......"
Belch.... It seems to be such a reason. The process of auditioning is to try the song, and the song that can be sung in the performance is still to be taken.
"Okay, let's sing it directly!" Liu Pian frowned and let go.
Go to the special audition, Lao Tzu's timbre is the most dick without trying!
.......
On the other side of the stage, everyone in the Black Hole Band looked at Liu Pian and the others with playful smiles.
The bassist sneered, "Now I'll see how they play, if they can't tune in well, just wait for the show to be messed up." ”
Cheng Kai smiled with satisfaction, "Good job, damn, Li Yu, this reckless man, mocking me? I can't let you perform!"
He knows how important auditions are for a band, especially for a well-known band. The more famous you are, the more you can't afford to make mistakes.
Anyway, their Black Hole Band wouldn't dare to play like this, and without an audition, Cheng Kai didn't think how good his teammates could play.
Now, just wait to see the jokes of the legendary band, if you can't watch the jokes, even if you can watch Li Yu's performance mistakes, it will be fun.......
"Hmph, just wait for the foreign appearance!"
......
In the end, Liu Pian and the others decided to start singing directly, and when they finished singing each song, they would fine-tune it.
Everyone was in place, and the first song to sing was "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky". Relatively speaking, this song is much easier to match than performing "Love When You Die".
If the audition is not wrong, it should be another performance order, even the song list is listed, and even the audition data for each song is still different. Now, that's completely free.
Sure enough, when the timbre is not tuned well, the performance effect is indeed not the most perfect, professionals like Cheng Kai, they found the problem as soon as they heard it, and some ordinary audiences with sharp ears also felt that the live version of the scene did not sound as good as the lossless version stored in the mobile phone.
Under the stage, Song Yang frowned, "Something seems wrong?"
"Did you hear that?" Xiao Min said, "It should be a problem with the equipment, not the band." ”
"That's not interesting. Song Yang sighed, "Come all the way to listen to the song, and you have to encounter this kind of unlucky thing." ”
"It's okay, it's good to be able to sing like this when the equipment has a problem. ”
Xiao Min's words are not unfounded, as time goes by, the band has become more and more feeling, and the cooperation is more seamless, and when singing "The Sky is High and the Earth is Thick", the performance effect is no worse than in the recording studio.
Smoothly, everyone adjusts their equipment to perfection, and when it comes to the back, it is no longer affected.
Cheng Kai couldn't help but feel sorry when he saw that the legendary band had actually bluffed and confused.
Why didn't there be a big mistake?
But the goal was still achieved, at least disgusting the legendary band once, the key is that Li Yu's idiot doesn't know who did it, right?
Thinking of this, Cheng Kai felt a sickly pleasure in his heart.
......
Next, a song "Mask" is for everyone. Liu Pian said.
This song is the only Cantonese rock song in the album "The Sky is High and the Earth is Thick", the style is British rock, but it is not as popular as other songs, and its performance in the mainland is ordinary and tepid, but it has a certain popularity in Xiangjiang.
The audience heard Liu Pian sing Cantonese songs, and the cheers became even more enthusiastic.
This is Lin Youjia's only Cantonese song so far!
After singing this song, according to Li Yu's meaning, he wants to sing a new song, and then wait until the night after tomorrow to sing a new song.
But Liu Pian carried the microphone on his back and said to the band, "Trouble everyone, let's do "Mask" again." ”
"Sing it again?" Li Yu's face was full of doubts, big brother, this is a live performance, who sang a song twice?
"Really, please!" Liu Pian looked sincere.
"Okay. Everyone saw that Liu Pian had made up his mind, and they didn't persuade him, so they had to accompany him to go crazy.
Everyone took their seats, and the familiar melody sounded again. Everyone in the audience was stunned, what are you doing? Why is this song again?
"Why are you singing 'Mask' again?"
"The show is coming to an end, what about the new song?"
"yes, where's the new song?"
"Sick, sing it twice?"
"Change the song, change the song, listen to it once, I don't want to waste time listening to it twice at a music festival!"
Fans are dissatisfied, even more dissatisfied than the previous band's delay due to auditions, the big stars don't sing twice with a song when they hold a concert, and the other song is not particularly popular "Mask" is sung twice?
But Liu Pian ignored it and sang in a low voice:
"Finally found an excuse to take advantage of the drunkenness
Express all my feelings
The loneliness grows, and the silence remains in the corner of the dance floor
You say too little or too much
It will make people more frightened...."
A few lyrics, the same melody, but no longer the same lyrics.
And this sings ....
"It's not Cantonese, it's Chinese!" said an audience member in surprise.
"Awesome, one song made two lyrics, one in Chinese and one in Cantonese!"
"It's still Chinese to listen more comfortable, and some words in Cantonese can't be understood." ”
"Lin Youjia is awesome!"
Gradually, Liu Pian sang more and more affectionately, and the audience gradually listened to it.
It seems like......
Why is the same song so good in the Chinese version?
It seems like..... The lyrics in the Chinese version are also better.
In the next second, Liu Pian raised his head and shouted heartbreakingly.
The climax is coming:
"I'm jealous of your love
Like a popular diva
You don't want me, but vanity
Someone hurts to see how outstanding it is
I fell into the tolerance of blind madness
Fulfilled your favored diva
If there is only temptation left in love
All that is left is to endure each other
Stop torturing each other
Because we're all at fault!"
Wow!
The audience shook.
This word is written... This singing...
It's awesome, isn't it?
"Damn, that's good to hear the explosion!"
"I can't stand it, I can't stand it, I'm going to get drunk. ”
"Diva ....."
"Fortunately, I didn't let Lin Youjia change the song..."
"Why don't you publish the Chinese version during the summer vacation, but I have to wait until this time, it's so sad..."
Tang Nuxia grabbed Liu Yi's arm and shook it non-stop, almost shaking Liu Yi unconscious.
"Ahhh
Liu Yi's face twitched, and his stomach rolled even more. Alas, Brother Youjia, why do you sing so well, Tang Nuxia is going crazy with your singing!
Liu Pian continued to shout:
"If one day love no longer deceives
Enough to see all right and wrong
Until that time you were in my heart
will no longer be sung
Treat you like a diva
It won't be me anymore!"
After singing the song, Liu Pian bowed and thanked him, his eyes swept over the audience, stayed in front of Xiao Min for a moment, and finally looked straight ahead.
"This song is called "Queen of Heaven", and I hope you like it. ”
