Chapter 507: The Little Guest of the Orchestra
A new concert is about to take place, and after the first few performances, the reputation of the Pink Dragon Band has also been greatly improved in several western states, and the audience who came to watch has risen from more than 1,000 people at the beginning to more than 2,000 or 3,000 people.
Therefore, the stage provider they contacted before, which could only accommodate more than 2,000 people at most, could not meet their needs, and had to urgently contact an open-air venue again.
It was a primary school playground, the environment was very elegant, and the venue was also very large, because the principal of the school had recently invested a lot of money in the renovation of the school's library and basketball court.
As for whether a serious campus mecca is suitable for a rock concert, there is not much trouble in a capitalist country where money is paramount, not to mention the fact that the principal's youngest son is also a loyal fan of the Pink Dragon Band.
"Hey, Ben, have you ever toured in the school playground before?"
Daniel was adjusting the strings of the viola in his hand while chatting with his teammates next to him.
"The university's basketball stadium had about 500 spectators. But the playground of an elementary school? No, elementary school students are not the main audience for rock 'n' roll. ”
Ben replied without looking up, as he buried his head in arranging the cables of the speakers used in the concert.
"Indeed, in elementary school, it feels like singing nursery rhymes in fairy tales, wearing thick doll clothes, and making a mess......"
Wayne, the guitarist next to him, seemed to recall his own year, and the movement of winding the guitar in his hand slowed down a little, and he interjected with a full of aftertaste.
"It's just that the cost of this principal is too high, and half of the money earned from the concert has to be taken up......"
Ben complained unconvinced, and several people next to him also nodded again and again.
"Hehe, let's have luck and strength, it's a good thing that there are more and more audiences, didn't you say it before, this concert is what we want to make famous, it's another thing to have money or not, will there be a shortage of money after being famous?"
Captain Dan turned a drumstick in his hand and shrugged his shoulders indifferently, sneering disdainfully at his teammates' low consciousness.
"Fame is important, money is also important, let's go around in such a big circle, and the expenses can be a lot...... Hey little girl, you like rock 'n' roll too? ”
Ben was about to popularize the importance of Mane to the captain, but suddenly he saw a little girl with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin wearing a white dress and looking like a doll, standing next to him and tilting her head curiously to look at the bass in her hand.
"What is rock 'n' roll? Is it also a type of music? ”
The little girl is about the first and second grade, and she still speaks with a little milk, but her eyes are very clear, full of pure curiosity of a child.
"Of course, rock is one of the music, and it's the best!"
Hearing the other party ask this question, Ben happily showed a mouthful of white teeth, and with a few plucks on the bass, a series of low and rich notes jumped out of the speaker next to him, causing the little girl to take a few steps back.
"Hey, you rough man, don't scare other girls, hey kid, don't look at this person who looks so rough, but what he said is not wrong at all, rock is the best kind of music, everyone loves rock and roll!"
Wayne shook the handle of the electric guitar in his hand and came out in a posture that he thought was very handsome, but when he saw the little girl's eyes firmly attracted by the naked upper body, with a body of strong muscles, and the captain who was waving a drumstick to hit the drum kit, he felt helpless and bitter on his face.
"Dan, you're still a little girl, put away your damn holmon!"
He yelled, grabbed the T-shirt from a plastic chair next to him, and threw it at Dan.
"Wow, that's cool!"
The little girl held her hands in front of her chest, and looked at Dan who was waving the drumstick wantonly on the drum rack, making it sound full of rhythm and rhythm, and her eyes were full of yearning and curiosity!
"Hey, be careful!"
Dan was very proud to show off his drumming skills with the little girl, and he was covered by the T-shirt that was thrown over, which made him shout in dissatisfaction!
"Uncle, this thing is the legendary drum kit, right? It sounds so good! ”
Seeing the other party hurriedly putting on their shirts, the little girl's eyes still did not leave the attractive combination of it and the drum kit.
"Of course, drums are modern...... No, it's the soul of the whole music world, little girl, do you know that in the early days of this world, when humans just appeared, our ancestors first used drums made of animal skins to express the concept of 'music'! ”
Finally putting on the T-shirt haphazardly, Dan was about to turn his head and count Wayne's words, when he heard the little girl's words, he immediately became interested, and hurriedly introduced the drum instrument.
"Uh-huh, yes, it sounds so good, can I try to knock it? I promise to knock it gently and I won't break it for you! ”
The little girl's eyes revealed a longing for this instrument, and she loved the "knock knock" sound that Dan had just made when he struck them, which made her feel that her little body was full of strength and energy!
"Hahahaha, of course, of course, hahahaha!"
As soon as he heard that some children liked music and liked their instruments, Dan laughed a few times more happily than he had won any music award, and handed out the two drumsticks.
"Don't be so careful, don't be too light, it's too light to knock on it, you try it first, just knock a few times to find the feeling!"
Watching the little girl take the drumstick, she carefully stood in front of the drum set, which was taller than her.
"Knock knock!"
She followed Dan's example and carefully struck three times with her drumstick.
"Not bad, not bad, the sound is very stable!"
Dan was as happy as anything, corrected her grip on the drumstick, and then motioned with a warm look for her to try to knock a few more times.
And his teammates also gathered around at this time, curious to see what the little girl could do with the drum.
"Knock knock, knock!"
The little girl was encouraged, and stopped squirming, and quickly struck the drum surface a few times with the drumstick, this time adding another beating of the cymbal.
"Yes, yes, you're very talented, and you have a good grasp of this rhythm!"
Dan happily stretched out his hand and rubbed the little girl's head, he was originally a fanatical lover of music, and now he was very happy to see that there were children with such an interest in musical instruments!
"Haha, I also have a talent for music?"
The little girl also laughed happily and asked curiously.
"Yes, kid, you have a lot of talent!"
In order to encourage the girl's interest in music, several teammates cheered her on with happy smiles.
"Haha, I'm my father's daughter, and my father is also a very talented musician, he has talent, so it's natural that I also have talent!"
After getting acquainted with a few "uncles", the little girl gradually faded away from her initial shyness and began to beat the drum more naturally and powerfully.
"Oh? Your dad is also a musician? ”
Several people glanced at each other, and they all saw curiosity in each other's eyes, is this still the daughter of a star? It's not like ah, how can a star's daughter be so unfamiliar with musical instruments?
"Little girl, you said that your father is also a musician, does he sing any songs?"
Daniel naturally understood the musician that the little girl was talking about as another synonym for "singer", and did not think about the composer.
It's normal for children to not be able to tell the difference.
"My dad doesn't just sing, he writes songs!"
Hearing the other party talk about her father, the corners of the little girl's mouth naturally appeared a proud arc.
"What song did he write? What song was sung? ”
Wayne put his hands on his knees, his head just as tall as the little girl, and asked her in the gentlest tone he could.
"Well, let me think about it, um......"
The little girl did not stop beating the drum, but only paused slightly, and then proudly showed off:
"He's not a singer from the United States, he's from the Xia Kingdom, and the songs he sings are and these, you must not have heard of them, but there is a song you should have heard, the songs in it, have you heard it? That's what he wrote! ”
The little girl proudly reported her father's achievements, although she hadn't seen his face for almost a year, but she had searched her cousin's mobile phone for her father's amazing achievements all this time!
Although she is still young, it does not mean that she does not have a rough understanding of these things.
Especially with the help of her cousin, she clearly understands and understands how famous and influential her father Jiang Kan now has in the country of Xia!
She listened to every one of his songs with her cousin's mobile phone!
For this reason, she spent almost all of her pocket money, after all, the cost of downloading a song here in the United States is also 5 yuan, and it is a rice knife!
"What? You did mention the name, right? ”
A few members of the rock band were giggling at first, just to popularize music knowledge with an ordinary girl who had unexpectedly become interested in rock music because of them.
But all of a sudden, the words that came out of each other's mouths made them collectively pose the kind of stone-carved JoJo Li of the third brother in the second part!
"yes, that's what I said, what's wrong?"
Jiang Xiaoyuan put down the drumsticks curiously, tilted her head to look at these uncles who were full of rock elements, and some didn't quite understand why they suddenly became collectively petrified.
"This, this, this, could it be...... The composer's child? ”
Daniel was so surprised that he couldn't say anything, and turned his head to look at his captain, who had just claimed that he had gotten a song from his neighbor's big sister, the composer's latest song!
"You, you, you, could it be...... Mr. Jiang, I mean, Mr. Jiang Kan's daughter? ”
Dan was also shocked at this time, according to Janice, the composer was indeed a Xia countryman, and the little Asian girl in front of her, who looked like a little princess, was indeed a yellow-skinned and black-eyed girl......
Could it be that there is such a coincidence in the world, I just got a song by Mr. Jiang, and in the blink of an eye, I met my daughter who was still in elementary school in the distant country?
"Really? It's true? Are you really his daughter? ”
The other two were also excited, it was impossible for such a young child to live alone in a foreign country, right? Which parent can let go of this kind of heart?
Doesn't that mean that the name is unknown...... No, Mr. Xia Guojiang, who has recently become famous in the music circle of the United States, is now in the United States?
"Of course, what am I lying to you for, he is my father, his name is Jiang Kan, my name is Jiang Xiaoyuan, and the surname is the same!"
Seeing that the other party questioned herself, the little girl pouted a little unhappily and said undoubtedly.
"Humph!"
She also snorted by the way!
"Yes, yes, it's all the same surname, haha, you all have the surname Jiang! It's our fault, we shouldn't question you, little girl, you said you were your father's daughter...... No, I mean you're living with your dad, right? So is he now also in the United States, in this city, and even around here waiting for you to go back? ”
Dan is already a little incoherent at this time, the other party's self has heard it countless times, although it is just the theme song of an animated movie mainly for women and children, but through Janice's interpretation, it has spread to thousands of households here, it can be said that everyone knows it, no one knows it!
Then the one he wrote for Janice was even more jaw-dropping and sent her to the first place on the long-awaited bulletin board list!
And such an amazing songwriter even looked at Janice's face and wrote a song for himself and others that made him tremble with excitement after listening to it!
Although he has always been at the center of the world's pop music, or the top of the trend, the songs that can shock him so much are also the top divine comedies that can't be released twice a year!
The daughter of such a genius, who could be called a great composer, stood in front of herself and others with such curiosity, learning how to play the drum kit under her own guidance?
A tingling sensation like electricity suddenly rushed to his shoulder, and his whole body trembled a little!
"No, Daddy, he ......"
Hearing them mention their father, Jiang Xiaoyuan was excitedly trying to show off to them that she had a good father, but suddenly as if she had thought of something, the words she was about to blurt out stopped abruptly!
"What's wrong with your dad? Is he around here, little girl, are you talking about? ”
Several people heard that she was about to start praising her father, but suddenly stopped, scratched her ears and cheeks like fleas on a drum, and even turned her body and head to look around, hoping to see another Asian face with yellow skin, black hair and black eyes.
I used a stalk here, do any of our book friends read it?
Does the changing name of the little girl here give the impression of a narrative trick? Anyway, I felt pretty cool when I wrote it.
