Volume 2 Let's Assemble! Dream chaser! Chapter 212: Ready for the Show?
The next morning.
Outside the school gate, Sanji was standing with Chopper and Robin, and it was only a little past 10 o'clock.
Chopper and Robin had already made an appointment to see them perform, and they arrived very early today.
I have set up a stall in the garden between the teaching building and the laboratory building, and I have eaten some snacks by the way.
I just happened to meet Sanji, who was going out to pick up the tail flowers, and they also had a supper and a banquet together, and they had a good impression of each other, so I accompanied Sanji to pick up everyone from GM Tokyo outside the school.
After a while, I saw a group of handsome uncles and sisters coming over.
They actually came together in a group, probably outside the subway station.
Sanji looked at Oka, who was wearing a denim shirt and a white T-shirt inside, and hurriedly beckoned.
"Master!"
"Oh! There he is. Naturally, Ohua also saw the three of them, and beckoned everyone to come over: "Don't you have any tasks in the class today?" ”
Naturally, there are also activities in the Sanji class.
"In shifts, there are club performances in the morning and in the afternoon." Sanji explained.
"Oh, it's still early, why don't we go shopping?" Kyono proposed, "It's been a long time since I've visited a campus festival, I want to ...... back then."
"Don't, don't, let's go to the stage and get a good seat." Chef Lunzi said: "It's not too late to go shopping after watching Takeda-kun's performance, and it's not far from the store, so it's good to go back before three o'clock." ”
"Well, last night Lunzi and I have already dealt with some of today's work." Tail flower gave a thumbs up: "Don't worry! ”
It's miserable to do catering, neon is okay, there are fixed holidays every week, but there are many people in Huaxia big stores and you can take a holiday, but a small restaurant of the size of GM Tokyo, it is basically open all year round.
"Haha, then go to Takeda first! It's always okay to buy something to eat along the way, right? Aizawa said, and asked casually, "Are they okay with their preparations?" ”
"Of course!" Sanji gave a thumbs up, full of confidence: "Today will definitely shock the audience!" ”
"Really? I can't wait. Kuju smiled and grabbed Robin's arm.
Chopper on the side licked the marshmallows, didn't care, didn't believe that Wu Sheng, who was a year older than him, could have any wonderful performances, they fought badly He Dr. Chopper was convinced, but the band? Play? Writing songs?
Hey, don't believe it!
On the contrary, Robin thought with great interest about the mature, steady, and organized teenager who did everything, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "What kind of songs will he write?" ”
A group of people walked in GM Tokyo, and the average appearance exploded, and the big guys bought and laughed while walking, which caused other people and students who were shopping to look sideways.
Hattori also arrived early, after all, he only had the two tickets given by Wu Sheng in his hand, and he had to buy two more, and he was afraid that he would have to queue up to buy tickets, so he came early.
Now I'm buying a ticket and standing on the sidelines waiting for Minato and Majo for them.
Naturally, he also heard Takeda's name mentioned by Tail Hana, combined with keywords such as "performance" and "stage", he probably guessed that this group of people with ungodly looks were also friends of Wu Sheng.
"They're all adults, is it the restaurant where Takeda works?" He guessed in his heart, and didn't go in.
After a while, the two assistant ladies also arrived, and they were about to go in, and then they saw Hattori waiting at the door, and hurriedly went up to say hello: "Mr. Hattori, are you waiting for someone?" ”
Hattori smiled, "Yes, you guys go in first." ”
"Oooh?" The assistant lady was excited: "Is it a girlfriend?" ”
"Uh-huh." Hattori coughed: "No, no, it's a colleague from the editorial department, and Mr. Yacheng Mumeba." ”
"Is that Mr. Yacheng Mumeha?!"
"Yes." Hattori replied and looked at his watch, they shouldn't be late, why
Why hasn't it been so late?
"Oh, then let's ......" The young ladies wanted to go in, and some wanted to find Mr. Yacheng Mu Mengye for an autograph.
Hattori saw their tangled expressions and knew: "You guys go in first, we'll look for Takeda-sensei and Fukada-sensei after the performance is over in a while." ”
"Oh! Good! Then let's go in first! ”
Before the two young ladies left, Minato Pu looked embarrassed and walked over with Majo and Takagi, as well as his new wife Eiji, Fukuda and Fatty.
"Uh......" Hattori saw it and knew why they were so slow.
Why is this big guy here? He hurriedly greeted him: "Why is the new wife's teacher here?" ”
"I want to get to know Takeda-sensei and Fukada-sensei too!" The new wife, Eiji, nodded at Hattori, said hello, and looked past him into the school: "Is this the campus festival of Tokyo High School?" ”
He grew up in the countryside and had been drawing manga at home, but he moved to Tokyo because he got a serialization.
"That's right......" Hattori had a headache, but he didn't say hello to Takeda.
It's good that he came to Yacheng Mu Mengye, he knows that Takeda has always been interested in Yacheng Mu Mengye.
As a result, there are other people coming now, which is a bit of a problem.
These people are here, you can't drive them away, can you?
He had no choice but to buy a few more tickets, and then walked to the school with the cartoonists who were looking around, "collecting materials" and "collecting inspiration".
When they walked in, a freckled young man wearing a cowboy hat also came to the school gate.
He put on his hat that was slightly pressed down, revealing a pair of piercing eyes: "Is this Luffy's school?" Doesn't that look good? It's fragrant and delicious! ”
......
The stage in the school's indoor gymnasium has been set up overnight.
Their school is located in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the area is limited, and there is not even an open-air stadium, and having a swimming pool and an indoor gymnasium the size of two basketball courts is already the limit.
Therefore, there is no auditorium, the indoor gymnasium is dual-purpose, and there is a small stage embedded in it, and in the past, the opening ceremony or the opening ceremony were held in the indoor gymnasium.
In this campus festival, the school still put some effort into setting up a very distinctive stage.
The lighting and sound are rented from outside professional companies, and the entire stage is about 1.5 meters from the ground of the stadium, which is taken into account from the perspective of audience viewing and interaction, as well as safety.
The court was filled with plastic chairs and stools, also rented from a stage company.
Although there are only a few hundred in total, it is still spectacular from beginning to end.
However, compared with professional large-scale performances, this stage is still a little worse, after all, to put it bluntly, it is only the exhibition of the achievements of the school's clubs, and at most some stage performances declared by the class.
If the school can hire a professional company, it is already hard enough, and even a little bit rich.
And what made Wu Sheng feel painful was that they forgot to go to the rehearsal yesterday afternoon.
Because the light sound department is really a little transparent in the small transparent, the student union that directs the rehearsal doesn't bother to call them.
I probably think it doesn't make sense to call them for rehearsals, anyway, it's a performance program that is filled at 11 o'clock at noon.
What to expect from a group of high school students, playing guitar and drums, and performing a few pop music that everyone is tired of listening to?
Not at all well!
So, they were skipped, and they didn't react until they chatted backstage with other performing clubs this morning.
Brooke apologized embarrassedly: "The student union was notified, but I forgot, I'm really sorry." ”
"It's fine." Luffy didn't care: "
I also don't think there's any point in rehearsals. ”
"Well, it's okay......" Wu Sheng was debugging his bass speakers, and came over in the morning to find so many unexpected situations, he forgot to ask if Ace had come.
The professional speakers used on the stage are naturally not as small as the ones that are practiced, they are all very large, and there are not many equipment on the stage, and most of them have been debugged last night.
In this kind of small performance of less than 1,000 people, the bass is treated very poorly, and there is no pickup of the instrument speakers, and the signal of the instrument goes directly to the mixer.
After directly using the output of the amp to transfer to the mixer, if the quality of the amp is average, it is impossible to want the best timbre in the ideal, and it will even have a terrifying distortion of electrical noise, which sounds muddy and uncomfortable.
Even if Wu Sheng brought his own effects and pickups, he couldn't change this situation.
At most, he could only negotiate with the staff to see if he could put a microphone in front of the speaker and directly pick up the sound of the instrument played by the speaker.
If they had come to the rehearsal yesterday, they might have been able to get the stage company to pick up the professional equipment in the evening.
But now, don't think about it.
As he was adjusting, Sauron brought the last drum kit over.
And Usopp and Nami are comforting the super-super nervous Koya.
She was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night, only to sleep half a night, only to suffer even more early in the morning, and even worse when she learned that her band had forgotten to rehearse.
At the moment, the fingers are stiff, the keyboard can't be played, and the two hands are held by Nami and Usopp left and right, kneading and relaxing.
"Don't worry, there is still 1 hour before we arrive, you see that the seats outside are less than half full, don't worry." Nami comforted.
"Uh-huh, hurry up and take a deep breath, inhale ~ exhale ~ " Usopp also commanded: "You see Luffy and Takeda don't feel any tension at all, it's okay." ”
"Whew..... Suck ......" Keya took a deep breath while looking at Luffy, who was dozing off, and had already adjusted Takesheng, who was yawning on the side of Bes.
The mentality is slightly relaxed.
But when she looked again, she saw that Brooke, who had adjusted his guitar over there, was sitting on the side shaking his legs, his teeth chattering and chanting, not knowing what he was saying.
She felt that the situation was not quite right, and her heart sank, and she hurriedly called Wu Sheng over: "Takeda! Why don't you go and see Senior Brooke and ask him if he has any questions? ”
She pursed her lips and pointed at Brooke, who was trembling to the side, a little worried.
This is the lead singer, don't be able to sing a word when the time comes, then it's over!
Although Wu Sheng can also sing, if he wants to sing, it is estimated that he will not be able to play the bass, and he will leave the matter of Bestodi's accompaniment to Keya.
Bass playing and singing is rare, because the bass belongs to the rhythm group, and it requires concentration, and if there is a slight fork, the whole band will be messed up, strictly speaking, you must have the ability to use two minds.
Looking at the rock scene of the whole world, those who can play and sing with bass are all among the best masters.
This is really a kung fu that requires exercise and talent, and no matter how good Wu Sheng's brain is, it won't work.
Wu Sheng put the bass aside and hurriedly ran to Brooke, finding him muttering in his mouth: "Pumpkin, pineapple, they are all pumpkins, pineapples......."
It's obviously nervous.
Wu Sheng is depressed, you are all repeaters, and there should be a lot of performances in high school in three years, why are you still nervous?
"Senior? Senior? Senior! He grabbed Brooke's shoulders with both hands and shook it, "Relax!" Give yourself, give us a little confidence! ”
Brooke was shaken by him, a little trance-like, nodded again and again, "Uh-huh" agreed, but he couldn't say a word.
Wu Sheng worked hard for a while, looked back at the worried Keya, and shook his head: "No, it's not ...... helped"
