Chapter 17: The Band's War (2)
The rapid drums rained down on the small stage, followed by the thunderous sound of the guitars, which almost restored the original song except for the limitations of the instrument itself, and the bass player skillfully followed. Lin Zhiyi's keyboard certainly doesn't lag behind. The masterpiece of the Finnish national treasure band Night Wish, "She is my si".
In this way, it descended on the stage of the concert hall of Zhiyuan Middle School.
The entire concert hall was shocked, and the scene was silent, and the fierce sound of musical instruments seemed to penetrate the dome. Gothic heavy metal rock takes them on the train to hell.
Yuan Shanshan listened to every note, and the rhythm of the drum kit was so precise that she found the same feeling as when she listened to MP3s.
βTake heedβs dea

Approaching the original bel canto singing voice, impeccable pitch, Yuan Shanshan's singing voice shocked everyone on the scene.
The audience begins to dance to the rhythm, gradually forgetting their identity and immersing themselves in the intense music.
βA si

(full of lust). Yuan Shanshan enjoyed this perfect band to accompany her, she also forgot all her troubles and inferiority, on this stage, she has only one identity, that is, the lead singer of the band. All she wants is her perfect singing voice. She waved her hands. The audience all stood up and ran to the front of the stage to dance wildly.
βFall i

At the end of the first chorus, the guitarist and the drum kit began to solo to their heart's content, and in the afternoon when Zeppelin practiced by himself, the rapidly changing rhythm here was difficult to grasp, but now under the guidance of the drummer, he played it without any mistakes, and the beat was correct.
The audience below was completely boiling, and a few crazy boys let out howls similar to wild wolves. Men and women who had lost their rational minds shook their heads in the same way as Zeppelin, as if in this way they could shake off the restraints of gravity.
βI am the falle

Yuan Shanshan spoke again, bringing the atmosphere of the audience into a white heat. In everyone's eyes, she is no longer the No. 30 girl who transferred from Hope Middle School, but the owner of this shocking voice and the soul of the whole music.
βFall i

(With your dark sins falling in love just like that). β
The electric guitar and heavy drums came to an abrupt end. Everyone on the stage had beads of sweat on their foreheads, and such a fierce performance was also a great test of the musicians' physical strength.
The audience was still immersed in the music, constantly swaying and shouting.
"Encore! Encore! β
The entire light of the concert hall is lit up.
Lin Zhiyi saw Yang Xichen and Xiao Loli in the audience, saw He Wangchuan, the president of the music club, and many classmates he knew, as well as Teacher Guo who leaned against the door, and he also applauded their wonderful performances. The satisfaction in his heart was indescribable.
Yuan Shanshan opened her eyes, it was the first time that so many people were cheering for herself, if it weren't for the fact that the pain she felt after pinching her hand was real, she really couldn't believe everything in front of her.
Holding the microphone, he choked up and said, "Thank you, thank you." β
All the members of the band bowed deeply to the audience. Uncle Drummer stood up and was admired by all the band members.
Coming backstage, everyone sat quietly and waited for the results of the vote, and the rules of this PK were that the 200 audience members in the audience voted for their favorite band with their student ID cards, and whichever band got the most votes won.
"Uncle." Lin Zhiyi's voice was full of affection, almost crying, the drummer uncle was better than he imagined, "Let's go have dinner together." Lin Zhi didn't know how to thank him, and it was just time for dinner.
"No, ahem." The uncle took a sip of water and lay on his back on the chair, "I haven't moved like this for a long time, I want to slow down." β
"Dare to ask the master to respect the name." Zeppelin folded his hands and knelt down in front of his uncle.
"Classmate, what are you doing, hurry up."
Without waiting for the uncle to help up Zeppelin, who was kneeling on the ground, Hu Haoran and the others came over and surrounded the uncle. "Say, what band are you from, why are you pretending to be a cleaner?" As he spoke, he was going to search for his uncle's work ID.
"Hu Haoran, don't go too far."
Lin Zhi also hurriedly used his body to stop their rough behavior.
"How much money did you spend to invite him over, if it weren't for him to lead the rhythm of the whole game, you would have collapsed a long time ago. If you ask this kind of drummer who is not the same dimension as us, it is simply cheating. β
"Isn't it cheating to invite people from outside the school to come over?"
"You're just rubbish." Hu Haoran knew that he was at a loss, so he no longer argued with Lin Zhiyi, and instead vented his anger on his teammates. The drummer himself was shocked by the uncle's skills, and then criticized by Hu Haoran like this, his young heart couldn't withstand the blow, and tears came out of his eyes.
The uncle got up and gently wiped away the tears on his immature face with the sweat towel he had been working on. He saw that the little drummer's jaw was red from his grip on the drumsticks.
"You've played well, so let's practice a lot of time every day."
The little drummer doesn't speak, just nods, he goes home every day to finish his homework and plays the drum for three hours, and the family has received many complaints from neighbors, and the drum kit is the same existence as life for him. Obviously, he didn't make a mistake, but he was also said to be garbage by Hu Haoran, and he felt more and more wronged and cried even more.
"Cry what to cry, like a woman." Hu Haoran walked away impatiently, the voting results did not appear for a long time, and Hu Haoran's heart was full of anxiety.
At the other end of the concert hall, He Lichuan and his assistants were already overwhelmed by the surging crowd, and the counting of votes was progressing very slowly. β
Yang Xichen and Zou Ke were also in the crowd, "President, are we still going to vote for Hu Haoran as originally agreed?" β
"Let's go to the forest, I haven't been so moved for a long time."
"But that Qian Wenwen didn't take us seriously at all last time."
"Leave her alone! Cast me into the forest! β
The atmosphere backstage was just as scorching.
After comforting the little drummer, the drummer sat back in his original seat, and not long after he sat down, he felt a tingling pain in his chest, "Not good." At this time, I was sick again. Shouldn't have played the drums, retribution came so quickly. β
Lin Zhiyi saw that his face suddenly turned pale, "Uncle, what's wrong with you." β
Surrounded by everyone, the uncle fell to the ground with a thud.
"Uncle."
"Zeppelin, take him to the car, and take him to the hospital." Lin Zhiyi took out the mobile phone in his schoolbag, and there were more than 30 missed calls from Master Ma.
"Young Master, where are you?"
"Get out of the car to the school concert hall!"
As soon as Master Ma's car arrived, Zeppelin and Lin Zhiyi lifted the uncle to the back seat, and the two of them protected him in the middle, Qian Wenwen sat in the co-pilot's seat, and ordered Yuan Shanshan, who also wanted to help outside the car, "You stay here and wait for the result." When you come out, just say it in the QQ group. β
"Okay."
"Master Ma, go to the hospital."
"But, young master, today is ......"
"Don't say it, I'll let you go to the hospital."
The Mercedes Benz stepped up the throttle and drove away.
Lin Zhi also sent the uncle to the emergency room and paid the medical bills in advance. The doctor flipped through the inside of the uncle's overalls and found his ID card, which turned out to be the uncle's name Liu Qingyuan.
Waiting at the door of the emergency room, Zeppelin took his mobile phone and searched for the name on the Qiandu web page, and the first link was "The rock band is rolling and disbanding, the lead singer has fallen, and the drummer is missing." β
It turns out that this uncle is Liu Qingyuan, a famous drum king in the rock band industry. However, he has been out of the rock circle for more than ten years, and no one has ever found him. β
Lin Zhiyi took the mobile phone handed by Zeppelin, carefully flipped through the web page, and couldn't help trembling in his heart, "If Liu Qingyuan used to spend all the money in his card, I'm afraid I can't invite him to perform." β
"I haven't had such a fierce performance for more than ten years, and my uncle may be really tired."
Guilt gripped the three at the door.
In the silent hallways of the hospital, the crisp sound of leather shoes rubbing against marble came from the sound of them. The steps are not hurried or impatient, calm and powerful.
A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and an extraordinary temperament appeared at the door of the emergency room.
Lin Zhiyi was so frightened that he bounced up, "Dad." β
Hearing Lin Zhiyi call this middle-aged man's father, Zeppelin and Qian Wenwen hurriedly greeted each other respectfully, "Hello uncle." β
Mr. Lin just nodded lightly to Lin Zhiyi's two classmates, and then changed to an angry expression and said to Lin Zhiyi, "What time is it?" What are you doing here? β
Lin Zhiyi raised his eyes and looked at the clock at the door of the emergency room, and the hour hand was about to approach the number 8.
"One of my uncles fainted. We brought him to the hospital. Qian Wenwen eagerly defended Lin Zhiyi.
Mr. Lin ignored it at all, and continued to teach Lin Zhiyi, "Don't you know that today is grandpa's birthday?" How many elders in the family are waiting for you? β
Lin Zhiyi then remembered that before going out this morning, his mother said to him, "Today is grandpa's birthday, come back early." β
Facing his father's expression of trying to suppress the volcanic eruption in front of outsiders, Lin Zhiyi's heart seemed to be instantly filled with lead water and sank to the bottom, "I disappointed him again." β
"Let your classmates wait here for news, and you will come home with me." Mr. Lin ordered in an unquestioning tone.
"But." The uncle was still in the emergency room, and Lin Zhi couldn't bear to leave.
"You go back first, and we'll send you a message as soon as there's news."
Hearing Qian Wenwen say this, Lin Zhiyi followed Mr. Lin out of the hospital. Get on my father's Bentley and drive to my grandfather's house. In the car, in the QQ group, Yuan Shanshan sent a message, "We won!! Several excited expressions followed.
Lin Zhiyi only replied OK, on the way to send his uncle to the hospital, he even forgot that the results of this PK had not yet come out, and being able to work with the top drummer in the country was already the best reward for him.
