Turn over from love

Chapter 198 Caught off guard by a mouthful of dog food

After chatting with Ye Fangfei, Lu Zhou was inspired and changed another version of the arrangement overnight.

Early the next morning, he sent the arrangement to the team group.

He Biao: [Why is it changed to be different from the previous version? ]
Wu Jing: [The captain is prolific like a sow]
Nan Qiao: [What do you mean, do you want to choose one of the two demos? ]
Zhou Shuyu: [The prelude to the new version is so long]
Ruan Shi Qingtao: [This version sounds more passionate, I love it.]
Gu Li: [This version of the drumbeat is so handsome]
Lu Zhou: [You guys listen first, organize your ideas in advance, we will have a meeting in the practice room at nine o'clock, I have a new stage idea, let's touch it.Today we have to finalize the stage format and assign tasks. The progress of other groups has surpassed us by a few blocks. If we don’t speed up the progress, I’m afraid that one man will be eliminated by the whole group @全员]
Gu Li, Zhou Shuyu, He Biao: [Accepted]
Ruan's Qingtao: [OK]
Nan Qiao: [Sorry my dears, I left Columbia Port yesterday due to other work reasons, now I’m waiting for the plane, and I’m still on the way... I can’t arrive at nine o’clock, so I can only play the video]
Wu Jing: [I am still in Beijing...]
Lu Zhou: [You two have a video conference]
After the group chat ended, Lu Zhou ran back to his bed in the dormitory to catch up on sleep. There were still a bunch of work news from his different teams that had nothing to do with the show on his phone. He didn't have enough sleep, and he felt his head was about to explode.

After setting the alarm clock, Lu Zhou fell asleep. Before dreaming of Duke Zhou, he sighed in a daze, "Every new start has different challenges."

Nine o'clock came in a blink of an eye.

"Star Motion 1+1" practice room.

Lu Zhou, Gu Li, He Biao, Zhou Shuyu, and Ruan Shi Qingtao had already gathered in their group's practice room. The video conference started, and Nan Qiao and Wu Jing appeared on the video screen.

Lu Zhou communicated his new stage idea with his teammates, and planned to design the team members to bring the ignition point of this song up in the way of double battle, instead of a single combined performance.

"Shu Yu said in the group that the prelude to this version is very long. In fact, I wrote it like this on purpose. Drums, suona, and guzheng form the main theme of the prelude. Here we can play a talent PK."

The teammates were stunned for a moment.

"PK what?" He Biao raised his eyebrows.

Lu Zhou replied: "It's not a real PK, it's just to create that kind of duel atmosphere, such as the confrontation performance of the three instruments of drum, zither and suona, such as the battle of singing and dancing."

"What I want is that kind of atmosphere. After the chorus, we will get together with seven people and perform this song together in different languages."

"I think it will look good, better than a simple group dance + group singing."

After Lu Zhou finished explaining, he played some stage-related reference videos for everyone, such as which part of which effect he wanted to present, and gave some reference materials.

After the teammates watched it, they had an overall sense of the stage design in their minds, and they were a little excited.

But a new problem arose.

That is... Do they have the technology to achieve the effect Lu Zhou wanted?
"I think it looks good, but...how do you distribute the talent show?" Nan Qiao in the video asked aloud.

Lu Zhou: "As I said before, Wu Jing and I are in charge of the lion dance. I have some preliminary ideas for the distribution of the rest of the musical instruments. I don't know what you think."

The teammates listened carefully. For some reason, the presence of Lu Zhou gave them a sense of peace of mind...

Lu Zhou looked at Ruan Shi Qingtao and said, "I want Qingtao to take charge of the Guzheng part."

Ruan Shi Qingtao was stunned, and pointed at herself with a dazed expression.

"I play the guzheng? I haven't played it before... No way." She said without confidence.

"If you don't know how to play the guitar, you can understand the music theory. It's not difficult to learn the guzheng, and you only need to practice one of the parts repeatedly. It's not about being a professional musician who will accompany you all the time. As long as you study hard, it's not difficult. "

Lu Zhou gave her an encouraging look.

Ruan Shi Qingtao was inexplicably bewitched, and asked mysteriously, "Really?"

Lu Zhou: "At this stage, the guzheng part is more suitable for you. If the rest is given to you, it may be more difficult for you to learn. Of course, it depends on your own thoughts. See how your parts are arranged."

Ruan Shi Qingtao blinked her eyes and said, "I don't think so, but I don't have much confidence, but since you said I can, then I will try."

Lu Zhou smiled, "Okay, you can do it, you have to believe in yourself."

As he spoke, his eyes turned to He Biao.

"Biao brother, you said before that you can play the saxophone, I think it should be much easier for you to learn suona than other members, would you like to try?"

He Biao, who was cueed, hesitated for a while before saying: "I'll try it, but I can't guarantee that I can play it well. If it's the style of playing Battle, if I don't learn it well, don't blame me if the PK atmosphere doesn't get up by then."

He is a bit salty, and he doesn't care about winning or losing. Although he is the oldest in the team, he doesn't like to worry about it and has always been willing to accept the arrangement.

Lu Zhou couldn't help raising his lips and smiling when he heard the words, and comforted him: "Isn't there a saying that when the suona sounds, it will explode the audience? Why can't the atmosphere be lifted?"

The others listened and laughed along.

He Biao also laughed, and was immediately relieved.

"I leave such an important task to you, Brother Biao, you can do it, I believe in you." Lu Zhou patted He Biao on the shoulder lightly and said with a smile.

Then his eyes turned to the phone screen.

"Miss Nan."

He called Nan Qiao.

"Hey, I'm here." Nan Qiao on the other end of the phone responded, "Tell me, what is my part?"

"Sister Nan, you know how to play the drums. I think it's most suitable for you to play the drums." Lu Zhou looked at Nan Qiao and said, "Drums are the most important soul of this song. Giving this part to you is better than giving it to others. People are more suitable."

Nan Qiao was refreshing, this time he didn't hesitate anymore, and said, "Okay, then I'll play the drums."

The talent show part was almost all allocated, leaving Zhou Shuyu and Gu Li unaccounted for.

Gu Li was stunned for a while, then asked, "I'm just in charge of rapping, right?"

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "In addition to rapping, I also want you to be in charge of some vocals."

When Gu Li heard it, she was dumbfounded, thinking that she had heard it wrong.

He Biao frowned, what?Gu Li is a rapper doing vocals?Are you right?
For the previous arrangement, he felt that Lu Zhou's distribution to the team members was very reasonable. At this point, He Biao began to question it.

"Gu Li vocal?" He Biao couldn't help asking.

"Would it be inappropriate for me to come?" Gu Li lost all confidence.

"I think the timbre and sound pressure of you and Shuyu are the most suitable for this song. My initial thought is that you two will sing in duet," Lu Zhou said.

He looked at the others, feeling that someone might not be happy with the arrangement.

Vocal is very important to a song. As a singer, who doesn't want to be vocal?This is a very important part of the stage, and it is normal to be questioned if it is given to two unknown freelance singers.

Zhou Shuyu has shown her vocal strength. Her voice pressure is really suitable for this song, and no one says no.

But Gu Li, everyone's impression of him is still at the level that he can only rap. No one knows how he will sing and whether he has the ability to take on the big vocal part.

"Vocal is the soul of a song. No matter how many tricks you play before, if the vocal fails, then the stage will lose a lot of points." He Biao spoke with a serious expression.

Gu Li fell silent, he could feel the questioning eyes of He Biao, Nan Qiao and others.

Lu Zhou had expected this situation, so he directly proposed a solution.

"Indeed, vocal is very important and cannot be taken lightly."

Lu Zhou looked around the players with a smile and said.

"Then why don't each of us sing the chorus part? Then everyone listen to it, and then vote for two people who you think are the most suitable to be vocals."

This proposal was unanimously approved by all.

In this way, seven people, one of them sang a section of the chorus of the song "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant".

In order to grab the vocals, I sang very hard.

But in the end, among the girls, only Zhou Shuyu's voice could hold the momentum of the song; among the boys, Gu Li's performance was unexpectedly good.

He Biao and Lu Zhou's singing skills are very good, and their emotional grasp is also in place, but their voices do not show a sense of power in this song, but Gu Li's voice is the most explosive.

And what about Wu Jing?He didn't sing at all, and he voluntarily withdrew from the vocal campaign, and no one forced him.

In this way, everyone convinced Zhou Shuyu and Gu Li for the vocal part.

"If there is no objection to this allocation, then we will hand it over to the teacher of the program group to perfect it according to this stage plan." Lu Zhou said.

Everyone agreed and it was finalized.

"The program requires us to show four languages ​​for this song, which is also a difficult task for us."

"We will sing the chorus together, and there will be a group dance after the chorus, which also requires group practice. That is to say, in addition to rehearsing your own solo talent show, you must also take into account the group rehearsal. The task is arduous. We must Hurry up."

After Lu Zhou finished speaking, everyone's expressions became serious.

Many skills need to be practiced from scratch, which takes a lot of effort and is not easy.

"I'm already on my way back. My friends are waiting for me, and I can rehearse when I go back. Sorry, I have been a little busy with work recently, and I have less participation. I will work harder to make up for it later."

Nan Qiao on the other end of the phone spoke softly.

"Thank you, Captain Lu Zhou! Arrangement, stage design, etc. are all your work. Thank you for your hard work. As a member of your team, I feel very happy." She laughed.

Under her urging, the other members also followed suit.

He Biao: "Lu Zhou has really worked hard these past few days. I think he has been staying up all night creating."

Zhou Shuyu joked: "The captain is talented, that's why he can shoulder this important task."

Gu Li: "The captain is invincible."

The corners of Lu Zhou's mouth trembled, "A flattery is hard work, right?"

There were bursts of hearty laughter in the practice room, diluting the anxious atmosphere caused by the arduous task of stage rehearsal.

At this time, a new video call interface popped up on Lu Zhou's phone.

Caller reminder: Wang Yanhua.

Lu Zhou paused, then picked up his phone, smiled and said to the others, "Let's start today's meeting here."

After speaking, he walked away with his mobile phone, found a blind spot, put on the wireless headset, and connected to the video call from Wang Yanhua.

When the phone was connected, it was not Wang Yanhua's face, and there was no human voice, and the angle was facing the direction of the performance stage, where the symphony orchestra was entering.

Seeing this, Lu Zhou didn't say anything, he knew that Ye Fangfei asked Wang Yanhua to play the video for him.

The angle of Wang Yanhua's audience seat is not bad, and the distance is also very close. In the camera, the performance has not officially started.

Ye Fangfei was wearing a floor-length red dress and was sitting as the principal cellist of the symphony orchestra.

She put on elegant and noble makeup today, and the red dress complemented her fair complexion, bright and charming. She nodded slightly and adjusted the position of her cello.

Lu Zhou leaned his back against the corner of the wall and watched intently. He didn't say a word the whole time, just stared at the phone quietly, listening carefully to the movement inside, with a smile that couldn't be concealed from the corner of his mouth.

The camera in the practice room of the program turned around and aimed at his face from a distance. The cameraman in the background zoomed in, trying to see what he was looking at so happily, but the angle of the phone screen was a blind spot, and it was impossible to peek at the screen.

The live concert on Lu Zhou's mobile phone started not long after.

Immediately, there was clapping applause from the audience.

Lu Zhou subconsciously brought the phone closer, stared intently at Ye Fangfei's every move on the screen, raised his hand and pressed the earphone, trying to hear it more clearly.

She is the first cellist in this performance, the main pressure is on her, attracting attention, he is inexplicably nervous for her.

As soon as the baton was moved, the orchestra immediately burst into music.

Her cello came up with three consecutive low-pitched vibratos, which directly established the tone of the whole piece.

The string vibrato is very stable, and the piano sound is very clear.

The opening of the first movement is pathetic, with a strong sense of pity blowing over us.

Lu Zhou suddenly substituted in, this Elgar Cello Concerto in E Minor, she obviously put in a lot of hard work, she played it very well, poured a lot of emotion into it, and professional people can hear different feelings when they listen to it Come.

The opening chapter immediately caught the audience's ears, and the theme scene unfolded directly, which was very exciting.

She is well-deserved for the position of chief cellist.

Lu Zhou looked at the appearance of Ye Fangfei on the mobile phone with his head bowed and focused on playing the violin. The mournful and mournful sound of the cello hit his ears. He suddenly remembered the past, and tears filled his eyes unconsciously.

In this scene, she really seemed to be playing the violin with her life.

In the aisle, a person passed by at some point, noticing the strange behavior of Lu Zhou in the corner, and stopped in his tracks.

Lu Zhou was still immersed in the live broadcast of the concert on his mobile phone, and didn't notice anyone approaching.

"What's wrong with you, are you okay?"

Lu Zhou didn't come back to his senses until someone walked in front of him and a voice sounded. He subconsciously put away his phone and looked up.

The person who came was Ling Jie from the Light Chasing Youth League.

Lu Zhou's emotions have not been completely withdrawn, and there is still moisture in his eyes.

"It's okay." He paused for a moment and replied calmly.

Ling Jie looked at him suspiciously, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but was interrupted by Lu Zhou's next sentence "I'm on the phone".

Ling Jie felt that he was just asking for trouble, so he stopped bothering and turned around and left.

But no matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong with Lu Zhou. When passing by the practice room of Lu Zhou's group, he didn't forget to poke his head in and have a look.

Ling Jie found that the members of his group were like headless chickens, and they hadn't even started rehearsing at all, so he couldn't help being secretly happy:
It seems that Lu Zhou secretly wiped tears in the corner because the team couldn't move it?He really thought the team stage was so easy to play?Haha, he deserved it for making him so terrified before that he didn't think he could choose "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant"!

And Lu Zhou here didn't take the passing Ling Jie seriously at all, and continued to indulge in watching Ye Fangfei's performance.

After more than ten minutes, the entire movement was over, and the scene burst into applause. Ye Fangfei and her orchestra members stood up and bowed to the audience.

The first thing to do at the end of the stage, Ye Fangfei put down her instrument, left the orchestra behind, raised her skirt with both hands and ran in front of Wang Yanhua, who was seated in the audience.

"Have you started a live broadcast for Lu Zhou?"

This was the first thing she said.

The corner of Wang Yanhua's mouth twitched, he took out the cell phone hidden in his sleeve, and handed it directly to her.

"What do you think?" He raised his eyebrows back.

Ye Fangfei moved her gaze to the phone screen, and then saw the familiar face on the other end of the video call——Lu Zhou.

A smile came to the corner of her mouth instantly, and she asked him, "Did you see it?"

Lu Zhou smiled at her, and replied: "Look, it's a very wonderful performance, feast your eyes. It feels like your cello level has improved again?"

Ye Fangfei laughed shyly, and said with joy in her heart, "It's not that I'm diligent, it's that I've always been at this level. You just underestimated me."

Lu Zhou smiled: "Really?"

Wang Yanhua next to him frowned, and cleared his throat with a "cough cough", "Are you two treating me like air?"

After speaking, he took the phone back and said to Lu Zhou, "Hang up."

And then really hung up.

Ye Fangfei: "..."

Lu Zhou: "..."

Here, Wang Yanhua looked at Ye Fangfei with raised eyebrows, and said, "I wanted to praise you, but it seems that you don't care about my compliments, and you care about Lu Zhou's even more."

Ye Fangfei: "I don't even care about it, you should boast."

Wang Yanhua: "Exaggeration, I wouldn't have come if I had known, I bought the ticket and came here to act as a support for Lu Zhou for you, right?"

Ye Fangfei was amused by his metaphor, and laughed regardless of her image.

"Feifei, I would like to remind you a friendly reminder. Don't forget that our master has an unwritten rule that prohibits love between masters. Be careful and master knows." Wang Yanhua said suddenly.

Ye Fangfei's smile stopped, then her eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, and she chuckled.

"Oh, if you know it, you know it. I am not the same teacher as you."

Wang Yanhua looked at her speechlessly, "Didn't you learn the piano from your master?"

Ye Fangfei raised her chin slightly, "Yes, but I have never formally worshiped as a teacher. I don't count as a teacher. I only have one teacher."

Wang Yanhua's eyes suddenly brightened, "...so you and Lu Zhou are really in love?"

Ye Fangfei: "No."

Wang Yanhua: "...No? Then why are you so anxious to get rid of the teacher?"

At this time, the bandmates called Ye Fangfei, she lifted her skirt and turned around to return to the band. Before leaving, she looked back at Wang Yanhua and said with a smile: "Because, it's just that there is no one now."

Wang Yanhua: "???"
