Chapter 66: The First Day of Work

Immediately after, Huo Yuxing introduced all the remaining four members of the band to Chen Chufan.

Chen Chufan also has a general understanding of the composition of the entire band.

Wang Tao, the bassist of the band, nicknamed Taozi. It's the one who picked up the bass just now and was ready to fight Chen Chufan. People are a little impulsive, but according to Huo Yuxing, he actually has a good heart. is also the only young man in the band who does not have long hair, and his big head makes him look the sunniest.

Tan Jianming, the drummer of the band, nicknamed Xiao Ming, is called Xiao Ming, because he is a little fat, and sometimes he is called fat. It is said that the technique of a one-handed drum kit is the true biography of Liu Xiaotao, the first drummer in W City at that time, but Chen Chufan is not familiar with the name Liu Xiaotao, so he does not have any sense of admiration.

Liu Hao, who plays the saxophone, is said to have studied in the United States for a few years, studying business administration, and his foreign name is MBA, but he did not do his job properly during his five-year career abroad, and he abandoned his serious studies, and finally did not even get a graduation certificate. But there are losses and gains. After five years of studying abroad, he practiced the saxophone, and after returning to China, he joined the band and became a professional saxophonist.

Li Ke, the lead guitarist in the band, nicknamed Ake. There is no special experience, people are relatively silent.

After introducing everyone, Huo Yuxing finally began to introduce himself: "My name is Huo Yuxing, I am mainly responsible for playing the rhythm guitar, and when I need to perform, if everyone simply orders songs, I also work as a part-time lead singer." They all call me Brother Huo, but Brother Chen, you can just call me Xiao Huo. ”

With Huo Yuxing's introduction, Chen Chufan had a general impression of the entire six members of the band.

"My name is Chen Chufan, I am studying at North University for Nationalities of China, I want to earn some living expenses and subsidize my family, and I hope to cooperate happily with everyone!" Chen Chufan briefly introduced himself.

"Must be pleasant! Brother Chen, with your skills, it will be a pleasure to cooperate with anyone! Xiao Liu continued Chen Chufan's words and said.

"Okay Xiaoliu, don't be poor, everyone is in place, practice together, we also have to see the level of Brother Chen's piano!" Huo Yuxing patted Xiao Liu's head and called directly.

Everyone in the band took their instruments back to their places, and Huo Yuxing affectionately grabbed Chen Chufan's shoulders and took Chen Chufan to the piano in the practice room until Chen Chufan sat on the chair in front of the piano.

"How do you practice?" Chen Chufan asked a little depressedly, he kept talking about practicing, but before he reached the piano, Chen Chufan found that he had no concept of practice at all. From learning to play the piano to now, I have always played solo by myself and cooperated with others, and I really haven't done it!

"Huh? You haven't worked with a band before? Huo Yuxing asked suspiciously.

"Well, I used to play only one person, and I really haven't cooperated before!" Chen Chufan gave the truth very honestly.

"It's an honor! Brothers, Brother Chen's first collaboration was with our Clear Water Unlimited Band! Come and celebrate with a round of applause! Huo Yuxing's reaction was something Chen Chufan didn't expect, according to normal circumstances, shouldn't Huo Yuxing briefly introduce to him the key points of how to cooperate with the band? It can be seen that this Comrade Xiao Huo is also quite unreliable!

Although Chen Chufan felt that he was unreliable, it was obvious that everyone in the band was very convinced of this Huo Ge, and his casual words drove the mood of the whole audience, everyone applauded and coaxed, and Wang Tao even whistled when applauding.

The good-natured coaxing of everyone made Chen Chufan feel slightly embarrassed, but he didn't care too much. He just quietly waited for a group of people to make enough trouble, and then said with a wry smile: "Okay, I said brothers, time is really running out, this is the first time I have cooperated with others, in case the run-in is not good, and I am ugly today, you are not allowed to blame me!" ”

"Brother Chen, are you humble again, just rely on your musicality. Just practice casually, the main thing is to find some tacit understanding. Besides, playing in the clubhouse, it's not DDTV, where there are so many exquisite, just get by. Don't think that those people who come to consume can have a high level of appreciation, if there is a little mistake, they can't find it! Huo Yuxing said with a big grin.

"Just practice, you have to practice, it's still forty minutes and it's five o'clock!" Chen Chufan said helplessly.

"Okay, let's just practice a repertoire." Huo Yuxing flipped through the sheet music on the piano and chose a piece with a faster tempo. "That's it, the pace is faster, it's suitable for cultivating a sense of tacit understanding! Come brothers, get ready, the third etude of our band. ”

The first time he practiced, Chen Chufan was really a little uncomfortable, but Huo Yuxing was right, when the second time started, Chen Chufan, who had a strong sense of musicality, found the rhythm, and the piano sound began to integrate into the performance system of the entire band. As for the third time, in Huo Yuxing's words, Chen Chufan's performance was already perfect.

"Well, it's that simple. When the time comes, if you want to play any tune, you can play it like this, and it's absolutely fine. The songs ordered in the club are all according to the song score, and we have detailed music scores for the songs on the song score, so it is more secure! After playing three times, Huo Yuxing dropped the guitar in his hand and ran to greet Chen Chufan.

"Well, that's good, it's almost time? Shall we go now? Chen Chufan also felt that it was almost the same, it turned out that playing with others was not as complicated as he imagined, when it was right, it was okay to play the right syllables, and the score was indicated. It's just that when playing in an ensemble, it's not good for you to play at will, otherwise others can't keep up with your own rhythm, and it will disrupt the rhythm of the whole orchestra itself. Or if there is a tacit understanding between several people, there may be improvement, right? Chen Chufan thought silently.

"Well, I have to go, no one is late, and the foreman is going to sue again. It's going to be criticized! Huo Yuxing nodded, affirmed Chen Chufan's problem, and then turned to the people in the band and said, "Okay, brothers, I'll take Brother Chen to start work first." You're here to practice first! With that, he walked out of the band practice room with Chen Chufan.

"We're not together, are we?" Chen Chufan followed Huo Yuxing out of the band practice room and asked in some surprise.

"Of course, who's going to put a band in the restaurant?" Huo Yuxing explained to Chen Chufan: "That's a piano." If no one orders a tune, you can just play it there and play whatever you want. I really don't know what to play, there are a lot of music scores on the piano stand, you can just find a book and play it down, but you try to choose a song with a soothing rhythm. We were in a small auditorium in the clubhouse on the other side, and the show didn't start until half past seven and end at nine. If we need a pianist here, someone will let you know! ”

"Oh, I see!" Chen Chufan nodded knowingly.

During the conversation, the legendary restaurant in Area C had arrived, and Chen Chufan finally saw the place where he was about to work. The whole hall is rectangular in shape, and it has the taste of a Western-style restaurant. All of them are long tables, and each table is divided into small spaces for reading. There are also rows of private rooms around the restaurant, but the doors are closed. In the middle of the hall is a piano, Chen Chufan can't see the brand, but this piano is the most luxurious piano he has ever seen.

"Brother Chen, I'll send you here! If nothing happens, you can go to our side at about half past eight! If you're afraid you won't be able to find a place, just find a waiter and they'll take you there. Huo Yuxing patted Chen Chufan's shoulder and said.

"Huh? Shouldn't I leave work until 9 o'clock? Chen Chufan asked in amazement.

"At half-past eight, there were hardly any people here. What are you still playing stupidly here? Go directly to us for half an hour, and it's also considered to be work! Don't worry, Xiao Liu has always been like this when you didn't come. And wow, you can take a break in the middle of every song. If you're feeling hungry, you can say hello to the waiter at the restaurant while there is no one left, and the clubhouse will prepare a quick meal for you, otherwise you will have to wait until after half past eight to eat. Huo Yuxing taught Chen Chufan his experience.

"I see, thank you today!" Chen Chufan thanked him seriously.

"Why are you doing this, I'm going to thank you for going to more places in the future! I'll go first, see you in the evening! Huo Yuxing smiled mysteriously at Chen Chufan, then turned around and left the restaurant in Area C.

Chen Chufan watched Huo Yuxing's back disappear around the corner of the passage before turning around and walking into the restaurant. Chen Chufan first found a waiter and asked for a fast food. The nameplate hanging on the left chest told the waiter his identity, so although it was Zhang Sheng's face, no one asked anything. Soon, a Western-style fast food was delivered to Chen Chufan.

After quickly sweeping up his dinner, Chen Chufan sat down in front of the piano in the restaurant. It's actually still early, there aren't many people dining in the restaurant, and the whole restaurant seems empty. However, Chen Chufan didn't care about this, sat down in front of the piano, opened the piano lid, found a piano sheet at random, and began to concentrate on playing.

Whenever Chen Chufan was immersed in music, time always flew by, he didn't listen to Huo Yuxing's song before he finished playing, so he rested, but kept playing, song after song, because only in this way would he feel very happy. Even he played very relaxedly, and in many places he naturally threw aside the score and played according to his own ideas, just like Huo Yuxing said, anyway, he didn't go to DDTV, he should practice the piano.

So he was immersed in music. I didn't even notice that it was already past six o'clock, and the number of people in the restaurant was gradually increasing. He didn't even notice that Aunt Liu, who invited him into the clubhouse, didn't know when, but also entered the restaurant, and was sitting in a corner of the hall having dinner with an old man.
