Chapter 11: A great success
After school the next afternoon, I walked towards the guitar club in the school, at first I was also a member of the guitar club, and then I quit, because I slowly found that most of the members in the club play the piano with some kind of purpose, such as picking up girls, and even some people just think that if you play the piano in the guitar club for a few days, others will think that you are very compelling, when you walk on campus with the guitar on your back, how can there be a lot of eyes, and they enjoy this kind of gaze!
There are also a small number of people in the guitar club who really like music, and there are also several campus bands, which can often be seen in school activities.
When I came to the guitar club, there were a lot of people rehearsing something, and when they saw me come in, they all stopped, and then a chubby boy with glasses smiled at me and said, "Yo, rare guest, what kind of wind blew you here, play a few songs"?
This person's name is Wang Chen, we came to a class in the first year of high school, and then we were divided into classes, and we often played beyo together at that time
D tunes, never tired of it, it is said that he is now the head of the guitar club.
I told him about my desire to find a drummer, and he said, "It's not a problem, it's really not good, I'll be your drummer"!
I was stunned, "What, you play the drums"? I thought he was joking with me, I just knew that he played the guitar very well, I didn't know that he could play the drums, and the drummer was the skeleton of the band, the controller of the rhythm.
Seeing that I was confused, he slowly said, "A bass player who can't play guitar is not a good drummer"!
After saying that, he put down the bass in his hand, yes, it was the bass, and then picked up the drum stick, and really played the drum for me, and I saw it one by one, and I instantly found that he was right, the bass player who can't play the guitar is not a good drummer, compared to him, I am simply weak and explosive
"Yes, you, there will be a lot, it seems that I underestimate you."
He smiled, "Don't you have a lot of skills!"
Seeing his superb performance, I also had a bottom in my heart, and hurriedly called Xia Zichen over and conducted the first trial, that is, to play a small cooperation of sex, and was surprised to find that Xia Zichen's bass play is not generally good, it seems that I have always underestimated him, the first cooperation between the three of us was very smooth, and I was very excited, finally able to have my own band.
I also excitedly told Brother Lin, and told him my thoughts, Xintiandi is now short of customers, we can use the form of performances to attract customers, preferably in the square, where there are many people, we can also send Xintiandi coupons, just like Unicom Mobile's activities, a host has been chattering, and there are singing and dancing performances, so that everyone can understand.
I'm going to put on a mask and a bucket and I'm going to be on stage with the band, and when the lights come on, I think the appearance alone will attract a lot of people.
Brother Lin on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally I seemed to hear the sound of gritting my teeth, Brother Lin said heavily, "Okay, just let your kid have a good time, the success or failure of Xintiandi is in one fell swoop"! Then hung up the phone.
My heart began to pound, my plan was approved, and the plan to save Xincheonji began! Now the only thing left to do is rehearse with the new band.
In fact, this is not a big problem, first of all, I have already practiced Brother Barrel's tunes many times, and I don't have to worry about Xia Zichen and Wang Chen, because pure music guitar music, the guitar is the most important, the bass and drums are green leaves, and the difficulty is not great, only a few rhythms and repeating paragraphs, it can be said that it will not take half a day, we can rehearse.
After returning home from self-study in the evening, Brother Lin also told me that he had also made arrangements there, and it would be held at nine o'clock tomorrow night in the square not far from Xintiandi.
The timing is just right, it happened to be Saturday, people must be indispensable at that time, in the room, I found the KFC bucket, I remember the crazy infatuation with the barrel brother, imitating his dress, deliberately planned to go to KFC to buy a bucket, but the clerk said that the bucket is not only sold, and they talked for a long time or to no avail, in a fit of anger bought a family bucket, I poured out all the chicken nuggets inside, buckled the bucket on the head, strode away from KFC, leaving only the surprised eyes of the clerk and other customers, They must have thought I was crazy, and I thought it was the best thing I ever did.
Dressed up, looking in the mirror, I really look a little like Brother Barrel, picked up the guitar and practiced frantically, I don't want to make a mistake tomorrow.
The next night, with Xia Zichen and Wang Chen came to the scene early, Brother Lin and others were setting up the venue, a lot of equipment was placed on the sidelines, and there were different bands.
Soon after, Lin Ge came to the laid stage and began his routine, and then the lights flashed, the drummer beat the drum sticks, and then the guitar also began to roar, and the stormy heavy metal music ignited the audience, and the people in the square slowly approached like us, and even those old men and aunts stopped their Tai Chi and square dancing, and their hands and feet began to kick involuntarily, it seems that the heavy metal is really "toxic".
After a song, Brother Lin will come on stage to say a word, nothing more than to sell Xintiandi, and then there is the music without interruption, rock music raging everyone's ears, probably because of aesthetic fatigue, about an hour later, the crowd began to slowly decrease, at this time I have also changed my costume, debugged the effect, at this time Brother Lin began to introduce us, and blew us to the sky, at this time I high-fived Xia Zichen Wang Chen and said, "Don't be nervous, we will succeed" When I said this, my voice was trembling, Actually, I'm more nervous than anyone else, if it weren't for the mask, they would definitely find out that my face was blushing, the two of them were quite calm, this time, it was really too important.
The lights went out again, we came to the stage, and then suddenly it turned on, and there was a burst of exclamations from the audience, and for a while there was a lot of discussion, and there was everything, and the crowd that had left began to come back slowly, and our performance did not start, the crowd was already attracted, and the purpose was half the success.
I took a deep breath and played the first note, and I was completely immersed in my own musical world, but I never dared to look at the crowd below through the mask, and I didn't know how many people had gone during the five minutes I played, and if there were many more spectators, whether they were watching us play or watching our jokes! I do not know.
When I finished playing the last note, I finally looked through the small hole in the mask and looked at the audience, which startled me, maybe 3,000 people, or 5,000 more, all of them looked at us on the stage intently, and after a second, there was an overwhelming applause.
At this moment, I seem to feel that I am a superstar, a barrel brother wearing a mask and living under a mask.
They cheered, they screamed, maybe because my weird outfit made them feel fresh, in fact, more because of Brother Barrel's music, it was amazing, every note, penetrating everyone's heart, and I was just a machine copying him, it seems that this time we did a good job, under everyone's cheers, another song came, after the song was over, we bowed, I quickly ran off the stage, took off the bucket and mask, really, covered me, I really can't imagine how Brother Barrel endured day after day, year after year.
Brother Lin gave me a gratifying look, and then patted me on the shoulder and said, "Good job, Xintiandi seems, a little hopeful" After speaking, he came to the stage again and started his sales method, not to mention, it is really useful, the coupon is sold out, seeing this scene, I breathed a long sigh of relief, I also did an important thing in my life this time.
After the event, he said goodbye to Wang Chen, he was also very excited today, because he had never performed in front of so many people, and he complained before leaving, "I knew that there were so many people, what kind of drums did I play, I played the guitar, and I was so popular."
When I got home, my heart was still so excited and hot, and I couldn't disperse for a long time, Xia Zichen was also very happy, but I knew that he was more because he could video chat with his girlfriend, no, now he picked up the notebook again.
I also want to share this joy with my girlfriend, but unfortunately I logged in to QQ and found that she was not online today, I was a little disappointed, but I can understand that she has her life circle in her life, and she is also very busy with her studies, I can only think so.
I didn't really like the feeling of being in a hot mood, so I decided to go for a walk in the park and blow the cold breeze to calm myself down.
