Chapter 8: Rehearsal
"Wait a minute, please stop."
On the stage of the gymnasium, Lee raised his hand and shouted to stop the ongoing performance.
She thought for a moment, then proposed.
"Let's take a break."
Everyone in the band looked at Li Zhien's appearance, hesitated, but got up and left the position.
Cho Jae-beom, who was in charge of percussion, came to Lee Ji-eun's side and asked softly.
"Haven't you been contacted in China yet?"
"Nope."
Li Zhien shook his head, and then sighed lightly.
"I contacted last night, but the two people I found had something to do. It's too late to get in touch now, it takes seven hours for South Korea to fly over, and the concert has begun. ”
"No, let's change it again, it's still too late before the concert, anyway, there aren't many parts of Brother Shenghao."
Zhao Jae-fan looked at Li Zhien and comforted.
And while the two were chatting, Zheng Hante walked over briskly from the side.
Before he walked in front of Li Zhien, he shouted from a distance.
"Contact the last one, who worked with Fiestar before, now let him come?"
Li Zhien looked at Zheng Hante, who walked quickly in front of her, and then turned her head to look at Zhao Zaifan beside her, and after hesitating, she still shook her head.
"Forget it, it's too late to come over, let's adapt it in the afternoon."
Zheng Hante raised his hand and looked at the time, mentally calculated for two seconds, and then found that it was too.
So he nodded helplessly, and then looked at Li Zhien and asked.
"Does the lack of a drum kit make a big difference? If not, look locally? ”
"It's not too big, but it's also a little uncomfortable."
Li Zhien lowered his head and said.
"Then I'll go to Lu Li and ask him to help see if I can find a drummer locally."
Li Zhien glanced at Zheng Hante strangely, and then asked.
"Don't you dislike him?"
"I've never said that."
Zheng Hante said immediately.
"It's just that I didn't feel at ease at the beginning, and he does have something, just the kung fu you rehearsed, you have already listed three sets of plans, and you have also got the deployment plan of the police."
"How did you get that?"
Li Zhien wondered.
"I don't know."
Zheng Hante shrugged.
"He told me it was a professional secret."
"Cut, pretend to be mysterious."
Li Zhien said with some disgust, and then looked at Zheng Hante.
"Where is he now?"
"I'm checking the midday meal to make sure there are no safety issues."
"Is that at the hotel?"
Li Zhien asked, the meals they ordered were all provided by the hotel.
"Hmm."
Zheng Hante agreed.
"Hmm......"
Li Zhien lowered his head and thought about it, and then asked again.
"How's Katsuho Oba?"
"Just a rest at the hotel, he said he was sorry."
Zheng Hante showed a helpless expression on his face and spoke.
"It's okay, let him recover from his injuries first."
Li Zhien also said helplessly.
Zhao Shenghao is the drummer of their band, and he is also the person who was injured in the clash last night.
The fracture of his lower arm made him end his concert work early, and at the same time put Li Zhien and the others in a difficult situation.
"I'll go with you to the hotel to find him."
After thinking about it, Li Zhien said to Zheng Hante seriously.
The latter did not deny it, and nodded directly.
"Okay."
However, just as the two were about to turn around and leave, Park Geun-woo suddenly walked over to the south of the stage.
So the three of them met, and Park Geun-woo took the initiative to speak.
"The lunch is ready, and the seniors have checked it."
"Hmm."
Lee Ji-eun simply agreed, then looked at Park Geun-woo and asked.
"Where is he now?"
Park Geun-woo hesitated, then pointed somewhere to the east and said.
"The senior said that he went to check the surrounding situation, and if there was any problem during the rehearsal, he could call and inform him."
"We have a problem right now."
Zheng Hante said with a smile.
"What's the problem?"
Park Geun-woo then asked.
"Isn't Shenghao Oba injured, we haven't contacted a suitable drummer replacement for the time being."
Li Zhien spread his hands and said helplessly.
"So we wanted to see if he could help us find one locally, and it would take seven or eight hours for South Korea to fly over, and we would definitely not be able to count on it."
"Ah...... Didn't get in touch......"
Park Geun-woo said thoughtfully.
When he took Zhao Shenghao and them to the hospital last night, he thought about this, but Zheng Hante said at the time that he would contact someone to replace him, so he didn't think about this aspect later.
"Hmm."
Lee Ji-eun nodded in agreement, then looked at Park Geun-woo again.
"Then call him now."
"Hmm......"
Park Geun-woo thought as he took out his phone from his pocket.
Lee Ji-eun looked at Park Geun-woo's strange appearance, so he asked.
"What's wrong?"
"Ani ......"
Park Geun-woo looked at Lee Ji-eun hesitantly, and then asked.
"Actually...... Seniors he ...... I can play the drum and ......"
"Mo?"
Zheng Hante and Li Zhien collectively showed surprised expressions, and said in surprise.
Park Geun-woo took a half-step back, then spread his hands and explained.
"When I was training before, my seniors were performing in bars, and the other senior in the training class also played the piano."
Zheng Hante breathed a sigh of relief in surprise, and then sighed.
"How many more things will this guy have?"
………………………………
Ten minutes later, on the concert stage, Lu Li looked at the band members who were already waiting for him in front of him.
After thinking for two seconds, Lu Li turned his head to look at Li Zhien, who was looking at him expectantly.
"I'm just entertaining, and I've never performed."
"It's okay, just follow the score."
Li Zhien said quickly, and while looking at Lu Li, he also blinked his eyes twice.
Lu Li's expression changed slightly, he thought for two seconds again, then sighed lightly, and then looked at Li Zhien and said.
"This doesn't fit our original agreement."
"I'll settle it for you."
Li Zhien said immediately.
"Aren't you also obligated to make sure the concert goes smoothly? We're missing drummers right now, and that's a big deal. ”
Lu Li turned his head to look at the band members again, paused for two seconds, and then nodded indifferently.
"Okay, where's the spectrum?"
"Here."
Zheng Hante next to him immediately stretched out his hand and handed the score in his hand to Lu Li.
Lu Li glanced at the score, didn't speak, took it directly, and then walked towards the unmanned drum kit.
After the band made up for it, he finally had his first full rehearsal.
Lu Li's drum kit skills are not bad, although they are not at the master level, but they also meet their requirements.
It's the solo part of everyone in the band that was rejected by Lu Li, he is just a part-time worker, and he doesn't want to join the band's solo performance.
After Zhao Shenghao knew that Lu Li could perform as a substitute, he immediately rushed over and guided Lu Li in the back, telling him where there was an adaptation and what he needed to pay attention to.
And their lunchtime, which was supposed to take place at half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, was dragged until one o'clock.
After going through half of the song, the stomachs of the crowd began to protest en masse, and so the morning rehearsal ended.
After the temporary end, Li Zhien took her microphone and came to Lu Li, and praised him.
"Not bad, as a security guard."
Lu Li set up the drum sticks, stood up from behind the drum kit, and then said lightly.
"Previous hobbies."
Li Zhien still looked at Lu Li with a smile, but suddenly, she noticed that the sleeves on Lu Li's hands were rolled up, revealing his strong forearms.
And on Lu Li's left arm, under the cuff, a small mottled scar was revealed.
That rumor suddenly appeared in Li Zhien's mind, and even her expression changed.
Lu Li keenly observed the change in Li Zhien's expression, turned his head to look at his arm, and reached out to pull down his sleeve.
Li Zhien knew that he had been discovered, so he quickly withdrew his gaze, adjusted his expression, and then raised his head to look at Lu Li again.
"Shall we discuss something?"
Lu Li, who was about to leave, stopped, looked at Li Zhien, and then asked flatly.
"What's the matter?"
"Your expression problem."
Li Zhien looked at Lu Li very seriously and said.
"We're a show at night, not a mourning party, your expression is very problematic, you can't be so cold all the time."
Lu Li looked at Li Zhien, took a deep breath, and then nodded seriously.
"I see."
