Palm Idol

"There is no way to do this, there has been a temporary change." Wu Yang sat down in the first row of the guest seats and said, "I have shown you the list of bands that will appear this time. They originally wanted swan to be the finale, but they temporarily stated that tomorrow I want to rush to tour other provincial capital cities, and I hope to adjust to the period from noon to dinner."

Lu Yiwen was surprised: "Is it so sudden? How can the audience explain it?"

"It doesn't matter, this time it's all tickets for the same day. Before, there was only information about which bands might appear on the Internet, and no exact information was released."

Instead of releasing the exact list of performers, the audience can expect to see which famous bands will participate, so as to stimulate them to come. This is indeed the usual practice of music festivals.

But Lu Yiwen still felt that something was wrong: "But Swan's tour should have been scheduled long ago, why is it so urgent?"

"I don't know about that. If the person in charge of swan comes later, you can ask yourself." Although Wu Yang's tone was calm, it was obvious that he was only here to inform Lu Yiwen. He said without apology, "I'm sorry. Xiaolu, this time I originally wanted to make a name for Swan and the others, as you know, there are more and more livehouses in this area recently..."

Lu Yiwen was silent. Of course he knew what the boss meant. No matter what industry he was in, the ultimate goal was to make a profit. Most of the bands that came to the music festival this time were rookie bands. The most influential and money-making bands were only Swan. up.

Although it is a new band formed in June last year, swan's development in the past six months can be described as overwhelming because of his good looks and superb skills, and the brokerage company behind it. , and even surpassed many hardcore bands who have debuted for several years.

Speaking of this, there was obviously no room for maneuver, Lu Yiwen returned to the stage, and told Jing Xiang and Jian She who were rehearsing about it.

Jing Xiang doesn't quite understand the twists and turns: "If it's the last one, how many people will stay?"

Lu Yiwen recalled the situation of the music festival in the past few years: "The second floor is probably reserved because there are seats, but it is estimated that not many people are in the mood to listen. The standing seats on the first floor are basically gone. At most, we can stay. Dozens of people."

Jian She: "That is to say, there will still be nearly 100 people left?"

"100 people? That's not bad." Jingxiang looked quite happy, "I have a friend who sings in a bar, and there are only a dozen people every night, and even if it is full, there are at most twenty or thirty people."

Jian She also said: "I also think this number is very good."

Lu Yiwen was a little surprised: "You really don't mind?"

"Of course." Jing Xiang persuaded him instead, "We don't have any pressure to play at the end, even if we fail—you think so, Xiao She?"

Speaking of the last sentence, he even raised his chin at Jian She.

Jian She nodded calmly.

This made Lu Yiwen a little unexpected. Originally, he was worried that this matter would affect the emotions of the boys, so he deliberately said it in the most ordinary tone, but he didn't expect that others would be more open than him.

Seeing that the two people who were still at odds a few days ago reached a tacit understanding, Lu Yiwen felt even more relieved, and unconsciously smiled at Jian She, who is the captain.

Unexpectedly, the young man immediately lowered his head to avoid his sight.

Lu Yiwen: "..."

"By the way, where are Xu Lan and Bai Zhiyuan?" He looked around the stage but didn't see any two of them, "If they come back later, tell them about this as well."

"Xu Lan didn't feel well and went to the toilet just now." Jing Xiang replied, "I feel like I've eaten a bad stomach, and my complexion is very bad, as if I'm about to vomit."

"so serious?"

Just before going up to the second floor, Lu Yiwen noticed that Xu Lan's complexion was very bad, which reminded him of the previous retest, when Xu Lan's state seemed to be similar to now.

Both times he felt unwell when he was about to go on stage, which made him a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, the arrangement of the bass is very simple this time." Perhaps seeing his worry, Jian She said deliberately, "Even if you don't know how to play the piano, you can get away with it."

"I hope, I don't know how he has been practicing the piano these days."

Lu Yiwen waved his hands resentfully, wanting to ask the two to go over and confirm the song list to be played tomorrow and the required stage effects, when there was a sudden commotion at the entrance.

He looked back, but saw several members of other bands coming.

Walking in the front were a few musicians from swan. They were dressed very eye-catchingly, followed by a man in a floral shirt and a blue suit to guide them.

Just by looking at his clothes and imposing manner, it can be seen that the status of the man in the floral shirt is not low, but it may be because of his fatness, his appearance is much younger than his status.

"Wow, aren't these Ziwei stars?" Jing Xiang ran to Lu Yiwen and said enthusiastically, "I know them, everyone around me has mentioned them."

Ziweixing's words were not wrong. Swan's debut was indeed a big hit. It is said that before the first live, he only posted the official photos of each member on the Internet, and tripled the ticket price for the next day.

Seeing Jingxiang's excited look, Lu Yiwen didn't know what to say for a while.On the other hand, Jian She was naturally cold-tempered, so she lost interest after just a few glances.

Jing Xiang looked at it for a while, and suddenly said "Hey": "They only came today three people, I thought I could know what their drummer looked like."

Lu Yiwen was surprised: "Didn't they publish the photos online?"

"You don't know that, brother." Jing Xiang explained to him, "Their drummers don't show their faces. They wear masks all the time when they take photos and live. Until now, no fans know what their drummers look like. .”

"Wearing a mask at the handshake and autograph?"

"Dai, don't take it off!" Jing Xiang said, "I think this may be their marketing strategy. The drummer looks handsome in figure, but maybe he deliberately blocked his face because of his ugly face, so that everyone only treats him Just curious."

As soon as Jing Xiang finished speaking, the fat man came over with the three of Swan. When he saw Lu Yiwen, he quickly smiled, stretched out his fat hand towards him, and introduced himself as Swan's. principal.

Lu Yiwen shook the other party's hand symbolically, but felt that although the other party looked polite, his smile was a bit weird. Only one corner of his lips was raised high, with a hint of a sneer.

The two politely said their names to each other. At this moment, Lu Yiwen suddenly saw Bai Zhiyuan striding in. The entrance was the same as that of Swan.

He originally came straight to Lu Yiwen, but when he saw the fat man talking to Lu Yiwen, his whole body froze, and it took a long time before he walked over slowly.

The fat man saw Bai Zhiyuan out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly smiled in a timely manner: "Mr. Lu, you can continue to work, I won't bother you, and say hello to Boss Wu for me, just say I've been here."

Lu Yiwen was surprised: "You are leaving now? Aren't you going to confirm with the lighting engineer and the sound engineer?"

"That's not necessary. Boss Wu's side is full of professionals. I trust them." The fat man said with a smile, "And there are too many things on our side. The last tour was too hot. This time the company insisted that we join If you don’t hurry back and let these little guys rest, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up tomorrow.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the lead singer of swan yawned in time, not sure if he was really tired or bored.

The guitarist and bassist were even more absent-minded. They stood aside and talked about themselves from the beginning when they said their stage names, completely treating Louis Wen and the others as air.

Lu Yiwen didn't want to argue with them, since the fat man said so, he didn't say much, just nodded politely.

Fatty soon left with the swan musicians.The guitarist and the bassist walked behind with their shoulders crossed. When they passed by Bai Zhiyuan, they suddenly turned their heads and smiled with unknown meaning.

Of course Lu Yiwen noticed it, he frowned and asked Bai Zhiyuan: "Where did you go just now? Why did you come back?"

Bai Zhiyuan stumbled and said: "I...my... Mr. Lu, can we go to the control room, I have something to tell you."

"Is it about the show?"

Bai Zhiyuan nodded with difficulty.

Lu Yiwen didn't move: "Then just talk here, we are all here, and we can help you solve anything."

Bai Zhiyuan was very conflicted and said: "It's like this, Mr. Lu... I just... I just received a call, saying that something happened to my family, I might have to go home, I probably won't be able to participate in the performance tomorrow... "

This news was tantamount to thunder on the ground. Jing Xiang immediately became anxious when he heard this: "Ah? Why are you so anxious? Do you have to go back now?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Bai Zhiyuan looked at Lu Yiwen very embarrassed, "but I'm really in a hurry, I...I have to go now."

Lu Yiwen was helpless: "What happened? Why did you say it now?"

"I'm really sorry, I just heard the news." Bai Zhiyuan said earnestly with a frown, "My family said that my mother is critically ill, and it's only been two days. If I don't go back now, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up... ..."

"Critical illness?" Jing Xiang looked puzzled and confused, "This... what kind of illness is so cruel, I have never heard you mention your mother's illness before."

Lu Yiwen was also a little dubious, but seeing Bai Zhiyuan kept apologizing and begging, he couldn't say anything to refuse, so he fell silent for a while.

"If he wants to leave, let him go." Jian She, who had been silent by the side, said suddenly, "Don't let him go now, it will be even more troublesome tomorrow."

"It's not that I don't want him to go. The main reason is that once he leaves, you won't have any drummers." Lu Yiwen had a headache, "You've been practicing for so long, you can't let your hard work go to waste, right?"

"What if a backup drummer can be found?"

"It's useless to find it," Jing Xiang immediately denied. "It's not a lack of drummers, it's running out of time. Even if you find it, who can practice so many songs in one day?"

"The sheet music can be modified, and you'll have time if you train hard." Jian She said in a steady tone, "Tomorrow I'll also bring a musical instrument to the stage, let's try it."

After finishing this paragraph, he turned to Lu Yiwen and asked him very seriously: "Brother, what do you think?"

"That's how it is..." Louis Wenxin said that there was no other way, "I'll call now and ask who can help."

"Brother, don't worry about it." Seeing that he was about to make a phone call in a hurry, Jian She immediately said, "I have someone here to choose, leave it to me."
