The man's cry was a little miserable, loud and echoed through the field. Ji Shanshan glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's fine."

He Yu was more embarrassed. The man in the audience wailing is called Zhao Jihai, the music director of the concert, he is over 50 years old, his hair is gray, and he has a big chubby face, both angry and helpless. Just now, the band's rhythm guitarist mysteriously disappeared.

"Hit by an ambulance?" Chen Jihai looked at his assistant, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He asked nervously. "What did it look like?"

"The head was broken, and the doctor said that the injury was not serious, and he would be observed for two days."

OK. Chen Jihai let out a sigh of relief, and scolded angrily: "Lose, why didn't you kill him!" ”

“……”

Fang Yan wandered around the stage.

Built in the 1960s, the Royal Stadium is a professional basketball stadium with a capacity of 12,000 people.

The stage for the concert is built at one end of the oval and is very large. In front of the stage, there are hundreds of chairs, which are the most expensive seats in the venue. The remaining three stands are densely packed with seats. It seems that the audience for this concert is close to 10,000. There were a lot of huge loudspeakers standing in front of the stage. There are also a lot of loudspeakers hanging in the air in the middle of the venue.

The backdrop of the stage is a huge LED wide screen, with a giant screen on each side.

The space is too much. Standing on the stage, people look very small. Fang Yan had a strange feeling. I didn't expect that a venue of 10,000 people would have such a great sense of oppression. What if it's a large stadium with 100,000 people?

On stage, there are a lot of people busy. There were also a lot of people in the stadium and in the middle of the seats.

Holding a concert is a very huge system engineering, all aspects form a huge team, and then subdivided into N more than one group, planning, publicity, stage, sound, lighting, electricity, finance, accommodation, security, ...... It's outrageously complicated.

Music director Chen Jihai is undoubtedly the soul of the concert. From the preparation, to the rehearsal of the band and singers, to the effect of the performance, he is ultimately responsible.

Chen Jihai is the producer of Ho Yu's new album, and he has a lot of experience in the Hong Kong music industry, but he doesn't have much status. He was a devout Christian, but unfortunately he didn't have a good temper.

Jiangdong is the first stop on the tour, which will largely determine the success or failure of He Yu's comeback. Chen Jihai knows that many pairs of eyes are staring at this performance, and if he is not careful, he will be scolded. After several months of preparation, he has been uncertain and always feels that everything is not going well. Now it's good, the rhythm guitar hangs up first.

"Fang Yan, Fang Yan!"

Ji Shanshan beckoned vigorously, and when Fang Yan came over, she patted him on the back and said to Chen Jihai: "Teacher Chen, you don't need to find someone, I have a ready-made guitarist here." You let him try it. ”

"Oh, good." Chen Jihai looked at Fang Yan carefully, without any contempt. He knew that Ji Shanshan was the number one person in the Chinese music scene.

Fang Yan looked at Ji Shanshan with a black line on his face, and said, "I'll ...... at night."

Ji Shanshan smiled sweetly at him, grabbed the flesh on his arm with two fingers, and twisted it hard. Fang Yan felt a sharp pain, and the rest of the words were not spoken. This Ji Shanshan is extraordinary.

Chen Jihai asked Fang Yan: "Classmate, can Jazz play?" ”

“…… Yes. ”

Jazz is a general term for a type of music. It is a kind of black music that emerged from New Orleans in the United States and developed a complex system and branches in the 20th century. Trumpets and saxophones, quirky chords, shaky rhythms, self-contained forms, and plenty of intricate and ultra-difficult riffs.

In the movie "The Pianist at Sea", an old man excitedly said: "If you don't know what this music is, then it's jazz!" ”

Jazz is cheesy.

This is not derogatory. If solemn, sublime classical music is like traditional Europe, then chattering, jumbled jazz is like modern America. Classical music belonged to the royal aristocracy and was performed in concert halls; Jazz, on the other hand, belonged to the common people, and was always played in dimly lit taverns.

He Yu has several songs that are jazz-style. Chen Jihai nodded, his tense face finally relaxed, and he said, "Thank you so much Shanshan." I'll take you to try the tone again in a moment. ”

Ji Shanshan smiled: "You can't be wrong." ”

Fang Yan also wanted to try it. He has always played the piano by himself and has never played in an ensemble. What's more, this is still a large-scale concert, and professional-level musicians have a rare opportunity. However, he agreed to accompany Yuan Yuan for her birthday. He thought, let's wait until the show is over.

The music appealed to him even more.

Chen Jihai glanced at He Yu and said, "The cost, only one performance, is it okay for 10,000 yuan?" ”

Ji Shanshan smiled: "No problem." ”

She was very willing to help Fang Yan earn some pocket money. The 10,000 yuan is the price after paying taxes, which is not less. If it is a top international musician, it may not cost 100,000 yuan a concert, but the price of a concert is about 30,000 yuan for guitar, bass and other musicians in the first line of Huaxia.

The 10,000 yuan has already been given by Chen Jihai, one is to give Ji Shanshan face; The second is that he loves face and doesn't want Ji Shanshan to think that He Yu's team is too shabby.

The musicians in this concert are not considered first-line, and the budget is also tight. The guitar brother who was hit by a car was only more than 3,000 yuan per game.

Who knew that Fang Yan shook his head and said, "I don't want money." Sister He Yu is a friend of Sister Shanshan, I am very willing to help, Mr. Chen, don't mention the money. ”

"This ......" Chen Jihai glanced at He Yu again.

"Listen to him, it's all your own people." Ji Shanshan said.

Ji Shanshan covered her mouth and smiled. That day in the nameless tavern, Fang Yan and Lao Liu negotiated the price, and they were devastated. Ji Shanshan eavesdropped on the side. Unexpectedly, this time the rivers and lakes rescued the emergency, but he made a 180-degree turn and was so generous. Actually, it's okay if you don't need money. It's only 10,000 yuan, and Fang Yan came out after singing in the bar for two days.

"You ......" He Yu was very hesitant and bowed his head and groaned.

Fang Yan said: "It's decided." It is my honor to be able to play the piano for Sister He Yu. ”

Ji Shanshan's heart was full of joy when she heard this, her eyes were shining, and she praised Fang Yan in her heart, she had face! I really give my sister a long face!

"Well, thank you." He Yu's voice was very soft, and his eyes were a little gloomy.

All kinds of audio equipment have already been debugged, and rehearsals have passed. Chen Jihai personally took Fang Yan to the lounge of the gymnasium and introduced him to the members of the band. He Yu's band hung up 1, and there are still 4 people left, two old and two young.

Bass, Weng Tianxu, a very handsome and vicissitudes uncle in his 40s, tall and with a pair of rough hands.

Lead guitar, Xu Yong, 38 years old, has a thin body, a scruffy beard, and a dirty braid. He wears a black tank top and several metal rings on his fingers.

The drummer Jason (Jason) is a white British guy, who looks less than 30, with short hair, small arms, and an innocent face that looks very cute. He doesn't speak much Chinese.

The keyboard, Wang Yi, looks younger than Jason, gentle and weak, wears a string of shiny gold bracelets, and has slender fingers.

Keyboard used to refer to keyboard instruments such as pianos, but now it refers to electronic synthesizers. It is also an all-powerful instrument, capable of producing a variety of tones, such as strings, in addition to the original piano sound.

Every time he introduced, Fang Yan said "Hello teacher". The four members of the band all sat on the sofa, lazily saying hello, and no one took Fang Yan seriously.

Chen Jihai was in high spirits, pointed at Fang Yan and said, "Fang Yan, our new guitarist." ”

The lead voice Xu Yong squinted his eyes, snorted contemptuously, and replied, "Oh, the new one." Where did it come from? ”
