Chapter 53: The Concert
"Brother Sid, can you find a way to help Amanda?" Lindsay pulled Rashid's arm, and Nizi whispered into Sid's ear and asked, she didn't want the friend she just met to be like this Goodbye. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Are you so sure I can help? It's a family affair after all. Sid asked deliberately.
"All I know is that there's nothing Sid can't do. Lindsay said with a grin.
"Okay. Sid touched Lindsay's little braid and agreed.
"That, Mr. Seyfried. Sid smiled and said to Amanda's father, "I think Amanda only wanted to see the underground concert because of his curiosity, I think everyone has this kind of curiosity, who hasn't been frivolous when they were young?"
Sid said with a smile, but his bright eyes looked directly at Amanda's father Jack, only to make the other party unconsciously unable to parry, Amanda's father saw Sid's mixed courage and bright eyes, and intuitively felt that the other party was by no means a simple young man.
This made Amanda's father can't help but relax a little: "However, it is too unsafe for Amanda to go to a concert with their seniors." ”
"But a lot of the students are going to play together...... Amanda said, raising her teary eyes.
"Well, that's it. Sid laughed, "I was going to take Lindsay to this concert too, so it's better to have Amanda go with us and take care of each other." ”
Amanda, who was still crying in her mother's arms, raised her head in surprise, she looked at her father with expectant eyes, Amanda's father Jack hesitated to look at his tearful daughter, and then looked at the Lindsey family and Sid who he had just met, and he didn't know whether to trust Sid or not.
"Oh, by the way, this friend of mine is an employee of the Fire Lion Group, and he has his business card and contact number, so it should be fine, right?" Sid saw Amanda's father's expression and knew that things were not so simple, so he had an idea on the scene and came up with this attention to borrowing chickens and eggs.
"Eh, me?" Justin Lin didn't expect the focus of the scene to suddenly turn to him, and under the signal of Sid's eyes, he quickly took out his business card.
Amanda's father took it and was shocked: "Fire Lion Group...... Is it Sid Leon's Fire Lion Company?"
Justin Lin nodded and replied, "Yes, I'm Mr. Leon's assistant." ”
"Huh!?are you Sid Leon's assistant?" Amanda's parents and she were a little shocked, even though they weren't that interested in Hollywood celebrities, and they didn't have the utilitarian spirit of Lindsay's parents. But the casual chance of meeting a Hollywood celebrity does surprise them.
Well, just an assistant to a celebrity, but surprised by an ordinary person like the Amanda family who has nothing to do with Hollywood Vanity Fair.
"Well, well. Here is my phone number. Amanda's father handed over his phone number, and then he said uneasily, "I'll call every hour to check, okay?"
"Of course, I promise I'll take good care of Amanda. Sid smiled slightly.
――――――――――――――――――――
Most of the so-called underground concerts, whether on the other side of the ocean or in North America, are associated with the impression of unsuccessful indie bands and raunchy "pseudo-rock stars".
The high school students in the band club also had to carry their instruments to the underground concert, so they directly told the students who wanted to go and let them go freely. Sid and the others simply went in a van, leaving the car to Lindsay's parents, and their own driver to see them off.
The underground concert was actually not far from their school, just west of Century City in Santa Monica, where Los Angeles Beach, which later appeared many times in the famous game "GTA 5", not only has a beautiful coastline, but also the beautiful scenery of the sunset over the Pacific Ocean is breathtaking.
It can be said that this is the westernmost and westernmost gateway to the entire Western world, and at the same time, it is also the gathering place of Los Angeles street culture. Hip-hop, skateboarding and extreme sports are among the youngsters, as are rock bands looking for a way out.
Sid and his party followed the address to a low warehouse, outside which there were already a lot of cars and young people parked in all kinds of cars, who seemed to be either bands or fans who had come to cheer.
After Sid got off the bus with Lindsay and Amanda, he found that he still needed to buy tickets to get in. No wonder those high school students are so enthusiastic about selling this underground concert to their juniors, it turns out that there is also an income link. Sid couldn't help but think with a slight smile.
"Wow, how do I feel cheated, what a bad feeling. Hearing that Lindsay, who still had to buy tickets, he bit his lip and complained unhappily.
"Well, I don't seem to have enough money. Amanda counted her wallets worriedly.
"Okay, I'll pay for the tickets, they're all here anyway, and it's a pity not to go in and have a look. Sid smiled.
When everyone entered the concert warehouse, they found that although the warehouse looked a little dilapidated, the various equipment inside was quite good. At least compared to the "real underground concerts" crammed into basements on the other side of the ocean, this kind of concert held in a warehouse is much safer.
But another big problem in the warehouse is the sun, and now it's June in Los Angeles, and the summer heat is unstoppable, and in the afternoon, which is almost the hottest time of the day, a large group of young men and women huddle in the warehouse, you can imagine how stuffy it will be.
And Sid had to admire the organizers of this concert, they actually put up a cold drink stall in the warehouse, although there was no foreign wine, but cold beer was extremely in demand. Of course, under Sid's supervision, Lindsay and Amanda, the two little Lori, don't have to think about any wine, but cold drinks are still enough.
"Wow~~~~~ it's alive, it's alive. Lindsey happily hugged the iced Sprite and took a big sip before saying.
"It's, it's too much, Lindsay. Although she is half a year older than Lindsay, the weak Amanda has turned into a perfect best friend, smiling and complaining next to Lindsay.
"It's Amanda, you're drinking too Sven, come, like me, take a big sip!" Lindsay smirked and deliberately egged Amanda to take a big sip of Sprite.
"Wow wow~~~~" Amanda said in an exaggerated voice, "The whole person is almost frozen." She drank so much in one gulp that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Alright Lindsay, stop bullying Amanda. Sid stopped with a laugh.
"Oh, Kim, the concert looks like it's about to start. Justin Lin, who was holding a cold Coke on the other side, said when he saw the movement on the stage.
"Oh, is it getting started?" Sid, Lindsay, and Amanda all looked over excitedly.
Santa Monica's underground concerts are more akin to music festivals than concerts, in that instead of a single band, different underground bands or indie singers take turns performing on stage.
The first to take the stage was a punk rock group of a duo, yes, not a rock band, but a rock group. Sid really wanted to ask, the two of them don't even have enough people in the band, are you sure you're playing rock?
But underground concerts are a place to gather such weirdos who are not accepted by mainstream business, and for the young people in the audience, the key is to listen to good enough songs, and no one cares about any formal rules.
Lindsay's Pilgrim College Band Club was in the middle, and by the time they took the stage, it was nearly sunset. And their performances, as mentioned before, are not unique, but they are quite skilled, and the more traditional rock style is more acceptable to most people.
So it's no surprise that their performances and performances are not bad, and the response from the young audience in the audience is also good. Even Lindsay and Amanda were full of praise, "I really didn't expect them to play well." ”
"What? do you two want to join this society?" asked Sid.
"I don't have time, I'm very busy, I don't have time to play with children. The Lindsey man waved his hand in a big way.
"What about you, Amanda?"
"Oh, I? I don't know, I don't even know if I can study in Los Angeles right now. Originally, I agreed with my dad that I would live at my aunt's house here, but now ......," Amanda said with a sad face.
"Okay, don't worry so much, as the so-called boat goes straight to the bridge, maybe you can meet a noble person somewhere. Lindsay patted her little chest and soothed her new friend as she stole a glance at Sid.
Sid couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xiao Nizi's quirky appearance: "Okay Amanda, Lindsay is right, you know, Los Angeles is a city of opportunity." Don't give up hope at any time, you know?"
"Well, oh. Amanda nodded with a blushing face when she saw Sid's bright eyes.
"Okay, okay, Brother Sid, go aside, we girls have to listen to the song. As soon as Lindsay saw Amanda's reaction, she jumped up and pushed Sid aside.
Whew~~~, having Britney's big-breasted and brainless woman is enough to worry about, and Lindsay doesn't want to add more rivals to herself.
Sid looked at Lindsay's move amusedly, and did not object, but walked to the other side with Justin Lin to watch the performance on stage.
At this time, Amanda suddenly realized a question, "By the way, Lindsay, why did you just call Brother Kim Sid?"
Ahh
Lindsay sweated profusely, her brain raced, and she immediately thought of an excuse: "Oh, Sid is Brother Kim's middle name, and our brother and sister sometimes use their middle name as nicknames." ”
"Oh, yes? I'll just tell you how your brother is so similar to that Sid Leon's name. Amanda really didn't know how her instincts could be so accurate.
Lindsay immediately touched the back of her head and laughed out loud in embarrassment: "It's a coincidence, it's a complete coincidence." Sid's name is so popular, it's normal to bump into names. ”
"Really? Amanda looked suspiciously at Lindsay, who was smiling and twitching, and reluctantly accepted the new best friend's statement.
"There's a new band coming up. Seeing Amanda's somewhat skeptical expression, Lindsay immediately offered the great method of words that Sid had taught her - to change the subject.
"Wow, that's a lot of people. Amanda was also busy, but when she turned her head to look, she was startled by the people on stage.
