The first day of Golden Week.

In the morning, Galen and his entourage rushed to the site of the Ideal Music Festival at ten o'clock for rehearsal.

Last night, everyone rehearsed until more than 11 o'clock, and when they went back, they all fell asleep.

But now that I've arrived at the scene, I'm in good spirits.

"Look there, isn't that Liu Nan?" As soon as he approached the stage, Akai pointed to a person not far away and became excited.

"Liu Nan, where?"

"Even he was invited? It seems that this festival is quite popular!"

Everyone was talking, and Galen also looked towards Liu Nan.

Liu Nan debuted in 90, a powerful singer, and has been active in the music industry for 25 years.

His famous song "Struggle" has been dominating the top of the major KTV jukebox charts for more than ten years.

"Ho! Isn't that Zhang Weiwei?

"Yes! This year's festival seems to be different from previous years, and a lot of big-name singers have been invited to come!"

“……”

Walking into the room where the singer was resting, Galen and his group found a random place to sit.

There are only a few real singers here, and many singers don't actually come to rehearsals, especially those big names, who have privileges, and they are the first to go up to rehearsals, try the microphone sound effects, sing a song and a half and leave.

The bandmates who stayed here were the accompaniment to the singers in the evening, and they were responsible for arranging the placement of their instruments on stage.

So Galen will be able to leave after trying out the acoustics, but the people from the band will have to stay.

But for them, it's nothing, because a lot of people here know each other.

Not long after they sat down, the six of them scattered around the room and greeted the people they knew, leaving only Galen, Chen Yingying, and McNuggets to sit and chat.

The table next to him is probably full of musicians, who are bragging unscrupulously, Galen listened to a few words, what are they all "My classmate went abroad, how awesome he is now, yesterday he called me to go abroad to mix with him, and I didn't bother to pay attention to him!", "The drummer who used to play with me in the group attracted fans a few days ago! grass, this girl is getting more and more stupid!", or "Now a lot of people who play music are like this, alas! Society is like this, I really hit your mother's mark!"

Or "Yesterday, who sang in which bar, really bad, and signed a singer!", "I heard that whoever is going to come today, why the hell is here?"

Finally, suddenly someone mentioned Galen, and a bald and thin monkey said, "Have you read the poster?

"What the hell? Who knows him, what is he doing?"

"Internet singer?"

"Who knows, but I've heard that he sings a few good ballads!"

"Damn! another literary liar......"

Galen squinted at them, turned his head away, and smiled wryly at Chen Yingying and McNugget.

Truth be told, he's not that paranoid about music and thinks it's just a job.

In the past few years, in order to survive, I have suffered a lot of crimes, done a lot of chores, moved boxes and put music on as a group performance, and the initial complacency has long been grinded out.

Although he still has the enthusiasm of a young man, he is no longer the young man who is impulsive when he doesn't agree.

So when he heard those words just now, he was not anxious, he was not angry, but only smiled bitterly.

The people in the hall came and went, and finally it was Galen's turn to rehearse.

He was given not much time, only ten minutes.

But that's ten minutes enough.

As soon as he got on stage, the musicians who were taunting him next to him just now were surprised, "Ah? is he Galen?"

"Hey, hey, he sat next to us just now, I guess he heard us talk about him!"

"What do you hear? It's not that you didn't come to find fault?

"Don't say that, you see the big man at the table with him has been glaring at us just now!"

"Uh...... Forget it, I didn't say anything!"

Stage.

"Hey, hey!"

Galen calmed his voice, took the microphone and tried the bass, and then "banged" twice and tried the treble.

Overall, the sound effect is good, and the feedback sound effect is relatively concentrated, which is thousands of times better than the pair of small speakers during yesterday's rehearsal.

What kind of sound effect, how to sing is good, the sound effect is not good, you have to hoarse and spend a little more throat, the sound effect is good, then you can save a little gas.

Galen is a complete veteran in tuning, there is no obstacle for him to tune hundreds of thousands of equipment, in the past, he tuned and played music at night, it was millions of imported equipment, and he could still play, and today this is simply trivial.

It took nearly five minutes to debug, and after the number of roads was clear, it was sung.

"Life is gone, the soul is still there! The soul is gone, but my singing voice is still ......"

Singing "Chang'an Chang'an" this time, Galen changed his previous folk song singing, but played a slightly roaring rock style.

And the band is also electro-acoustic throughout the whole process, without the shadow of the acoustic guitar, but even so, you can still hear the simple and direct feeling of the ballad.

His singing attracted a lot of people's attention, because the song "Chang'an Chang'an" was only sung once that day when he was in Chang'an, and it had not been published, so some people had not heard it.

And a small number of people who have watched Galen's video are surprised how this song is different from the feeling of listening to it at the beginning?

Don't talk about them, even McNugget was a little surprised.

"Not bad!"

The few musicians who had been scratching Galen's nose nodded in praise, and one of them said ashamedly, "Alas! I thought he was a little folk singer!"

But there are also people who don't care, "Opportunists, this kind of commercial song is simply ruining rock 'n' roll!"

"That's it, let him listen to the song of our Shichahai shark, and promise to scare him to pee his pants!"

“……”

After Galen sang this song and ended the live rehearsal, everyone packed up their things and got off the stage, and found a nearby restaurant.

At the dinner table, Akai held a wine glass, "Aaron, I wish you a successful performance today!"

"This is not my one-man performance! It's everyone's performance! And this is the first time I've stood on such a big stage in Beijing, and I have to thank everyone for their help!"

Galen replaced wine with tea, and after a while, he had to accompany Chen Yingying to buy clothes for the game, and he had to drive on the road, so naturally he couldn't drink.

It didn't take long to eat, and when we were done, everyone went their separate ways.

McNugget was here with Jiazi and the six, and Galen and Chen Yingying drove away.

His driver's license was still learned when he was doing group performances, because he can play a driver with this license and get more money.

"Oops! I haven't driven my own car in a long time! Looks like I'm going to have to buy a car!"

On the way, Galen said with a smile.

Chen Yingying said with a smile, "You just have a little money, you can burn it, save it! Your acting career is just a little budding, who knows what will happen in the future!"

"Don't mind, if something happens in the future, I have to rely on you!"

Chen Yingying smiled, "It's beautiful!"

Chatting and laughing all the way, we quickly arrived at our destination.

Galen doesn't understand opera, and Chen Yingying has the final say on what to buy, originally she had to rent it, she knew how to make up herself, and simply bought some oil paint rouge, etc.

But Galen said that the blueberry music festival the day after tomorrow will be used, so it is better to buy a body directly, and buy all the cosmetics, and make sure to look good.

After running all this, Galen drove Chen Yingying home and asked her to finish her makeup at home and go together.

And he took advantage of this kung fu to seize the time to take a nap.

As soon as he fell asleep, someone suddenly pushed his shoulder, and as soon as he opened his eyes, Galen saw a makeup-covered Hua Dan face appear in front of him.

A little surprised, Galen was fascinated, this was the first time he saw Chen Yingying's appearance after putting on makeup, and there was a delicate air inside and out.

"What are you staring at? Haven't you seen it?"

Chen Yingying snickered.

Galen smiled, "It's pretty!

"Cut! Let's go, it's two o'clock, you're going to be late!" Chen Yingying pursed her lips.

"Let's go!" Galen jumped up from the couch, but he still couldn't finish it, "If only I could kiss it!"

Chen Yingying's face was red and hot, and she lowered her head and said nothing.

Back to the festival scene.

Chen Yingying didn't get out of the car first, for fear of attracting crowds to watch.

Galen had no choice but to check on the situation first.

"You're finally here!"

As soon as he entered the lounge, McNugget rushed over, "The organizers have asked several times!"

"Isn't that here!" Galen laughed, "Is there anything to prepare?"

McNugget looked at Galen as if he were an alien, "You're going to ask me about this!"

"Of course, you're my assistant now!" Galen smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Well, it's nothing, it's a music festival, it's not a TV show, you just have to get ready to sing!"

"Oh!" Galen suddenly became a little nervous, not knowing what the effect would be on the scene later.

After all, it was still very bright when he sang, and there were not many audiences, so it was hard to say whether the atmosphere could be ignited.

At this time, a short boy walked over, "Is Galen here?"

"Here we are!" said Galen, hurryingly, "I'm sorry!

McNugget took out a cigarette and hurriedly handed it to the other party, which he had been doing for a long time.

The short man came to look for someone several times but was not there, and his heart was already full of anger!

But when Galen spoke like this, he took McNuglet's cigarette again, and his temper disappeared instantly, "Oh, what, you know which stage you are on, right?"

"Yes! ideal stage!" Galen nodded.

There are two stages in total, one is the Ideal Stage and the other is called Xuanle Stage.

The two stages took turns singing, each at an indefinite time, like the band that performed on the Dazzling Stage before Galen sang for forty minutes.

In this way, he was given forty minutes to prepare.

"Oh, okay, take the band to set up the stage at 3:50, come on!"

The short man patted Galen on the shoulder and walked away with a cigarette in his mouth.
