Chapter 104: The Real Rock Man
Life is sometimes interesting and full of surprises and surprises.
After seeing all the members of the Air Swing Band, Shen Yiran finally understood what the excitement of a roller coaster was.
This is a 'rock' band of 25 people, excluding the captain Bai Yao, the average age of the band members is close to 60 years old.
Not to mention such a large staff structure, and regardless of the surprising age level, just talking about the instruments they bring is jaw-dropping.
Drums, sheng, boards, cymbals, gongs, wooden fish, suona, pipes, accordions......
If it weren't for seeing a few silver-haired old men carrying bass and guitars, Shen Yiran couldn't believe that this was a rock band.
Because no matter from that point of view, the style of this band is so incongruous!
"Uncle, all the people on my side are here, you can show the way."
Bai Yao's voice pulled Shen Yiran out of his trance, nodded, walked to the middle of the band, helped the uncle who carried the drum kit to take a hand, and then led the band to the place he had chosen before.
Walking on the road, although the whole band was very quiet, Shen Yiran found that his emotions were a little complicated, he really didn't expect that the air swing band was such a personnel structure.
Before that, he thought that the most likely place to have an accident should be the venue, but in fact, early the next morning, he received a call from Zha Yingyun asking to sign a contract.
thought that everything was under control after the venue problem was solved, but who knows, the situation of the air swing band really gave him a headache.
If the band is as old as expected, even if it doesn't perform well, he won't have any psychological pressure when he refuses, after all, it's normal for young people to have any shortcomings.
However, now it is more complicated, this band can be said to be older than his father except Bai Yao, in the eyes of these people, he is a child, if he is rejected by this child, Shen Yiran doesn't know if the uncle can get by, but he knows that the taste will definitely be uncomfortable.
A few minutes later, the band came to the camphor tree, and like Shen Yiran, when she saw the members of the band for the first time, Xu Lingyi was also a little confused, walked to her boyfriend's side, shook her arm, and asked softly:
"Shine, this..."
Before the words were spoken, Shen Yiran understood what the girl meant, nodded, and said with a smile:
"Well, that's the air swing band on the Searchcyclopedia."
As he spoke, he added in a whisper in the girl's ear:
"Ling Yi, come with me to send water to these uncles and uncles, it's so hot, you can't let them suffer from heat stroke."
After speaking, he turned around, bent down and tore the seal of the mineral water box on the ground, took out the bottles of mineral water and sent them down, and while handing water to these uncles and uncles, Shen Yiran introduced himself:
"Uncles, hello, my name is Shen Yiran, you can just call me Xiao Shen, I am Bai Yao's friend, this time I want to find a band to assist in the performance, let's go to a cool place to rest now, and I will discuss with Bai Yao how to rehearse."
When the words fell, I saw that every member of the Air Swing Band smiled and nodded at Shen Yiran.
Seeing that these uncles and uncles were relatively kind, Shen Yiran's previous heart was also slightly relaxed, walked up to Bai Yao, motioned for the girl to walk with him under the camphor tree on the side, and after hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but ask:
"Miss Bai, what's the situation with your band, why..."
"Why are you so old?"
Without waiting for Shen Yiran to finish speaking, Bai Yao directly took over the conversation and said:
"Uncle, I don't think the age of the band should have anything to do with the performance, right? Didn't you say before that as long as the level can be up to standard? ”
"Yes, it doesn't matter, but your band is an instrument..."
When the words came to his mouth, he was finally swallowed by Shen Yiran, he found that Bai Yao's eyes seemed to be slightly red, rubbed his temples, and said slightly apologetically:
"Miss Bai, you're right, I'm affected by emotions, as long as our band level can meet the standard, nothing else is a problem!"
Hearing Shen Yiran give such a guarantee, Bai Yao smiled and nodded, I don't know if it was an illusion or something else, he saw a little gratitude in the girl's eyes.
"Dad, let's get up and give someone a look first."
Back in the band, Bai Yao stood next to a middle-aged man holding an accordion, and shouted loudly into the band as he spoke:
"Uncles, let's show Mr. Shen first, so that he can see the strength of our band."
As he spoke, he raised his hand in the air, and when everyone had prepared their instruments, he continued:
"Let's start with a brand song."
After speaking, Bai Yao turned her head, glanced at Shen Yiran, and asked:
"Uncle, is that okay?"
Nodding, Shen Yiran made an OK gesture towards the girl.
Brand music, a category of traditional opera, such as single strings, major tunes, Bashu Qingyin, Xiangnan silk strings, Ganxi Wenchang, etc., all belong to this category.
Although he didn't know why a rock band wanted to sing a brand song, Shen Yiran didn't stop it, he wanted to see what tricks the air swing band could play.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound of the drum kit, the show began.
Standing under the camphor tree, unscrewing the cap of the mineral water bottle in his hand, Shen Yiran raised his head, and just wanted to drink saliva to moisten his throat, only to hear a high-pitched and loud suona solo drilling into his ears like thunder on a sunny day, exploding in his mind instantly!
"Suona opening?"
Before he could recover from the sourness of the vibration of his eardrums, he only heard the bass, erhu, and various stringed instruments ringing at the same time.
The rhythm is bright and exciting, like a wild horse taking off the leash, which makes people's hearts surge!
"Babbling... Yikes! ”
Suddenly, with a modulation of the suona, the previous stringed instruments slowed down almost simultaneously, and the melodious accordion reverberated in front of the camphor tree with the percussion of the wooden fish.
"Yo, babble, babble, babble..."
At this time, Bai Yao also sang along with the accompaniment:
"The years of the Heavenly Palace are too bleak, and there are several clouds in the morning and twilight..."
As soon as the voice came out, Shen Yiran was stunned, this is the singing voice of opera, which is essentially different from pop music and even rock music, but before he could say the doubts in his heart, he only heard the sound of the gong, and the style of music completely changed!
"I can be the master, I can bear it, I have the heart to steal the world, the sky does not allow the love fairy to be intentional, and I will come back by the clouds......"
Listening to this rock music created after the reprocessing of opera, Shen Yiran was stunned, this kind of genius adaptation, this idea of integrating national traditions into rock music is simply numb.
Looking at the skillful skills and enthusiastic attitude of these uncles in front of him, Shen Yiran suddenly felt a little ashamed, and at this moment he realized that these people in front of him were real rock people!
And he became more and more interested in this band!
