Palm Idol

Lu Yiwen left enough time when he went out, but on the way back, it was not at the right time, and he caught up with the rush hour and got stuck in traffic.

The taxi is like an old man struggling to breathe. He has to stop for a while every 5 minutes. Lu Yiwen is really anxious to see it, so he simply asks the driver to drive to the nearest subway station, take the subway to the livehouse first, and then walk there.

The rain has not stopped until now, and Lu Yiwen is running in the heavy rain. The muddy smell of the rain seems to be inextricably entangled with the smell of tobacco and alcohol on his body, making Lu Yiwen take every step forward, His brows were even more furrowed.

Really unlucky.

Here, Lu Yiwen couldn't catch up for a long time, but the livehouse over there soon reached the time when Jicai came on stage.

When the band takes the stage, it usually follows the order of drummer-bassist-guitarist-vocalist. Xu Lan follows Liang Qian. Seeing that Liang Qian has already gone on stage to greet the audience and sit down, he suddenly backs away. , and almost collided with Jing Xiang who was following behind.

"I, I want to go to the toilet now..." Xu Lan stammered, "You go first, I'll be right back..."

Jing Xiang blocked his way: "Damn it, you went to the toilet three times in 10 minutes just now, what else are you going to do?"

He grabbed Xu Lan by the shoulder to prevent him from leaving: "Don't be afraid, you are the best, you are the best, believe in yourself, go up, go up!"

Xu Lan let out a low "woo" and could only turn around obediently and gritted her teeth as she walked onto the stage.

But when he stood completely on the stage, the malicious scrutiny from the crowd once again made his mind go blank, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"What happened to the bass player?"

"Are you nervous? Does it feel like he's shaking?"

"Isn't it too young, such a small man, probably not even 15 years old?"

Jingxiang also noticed Xu Lan's strange behavior when he came to the stage, and went over to pat him on the back lightly as a way of cheering him up.

Xu Lan's expression finally calmed down a little after this slap, but his face was still pale.

He tried his best to pull out a smile, lowered his head and picked up the piano, not daring to stand down from the stage.

Jian She walked to the center of the stage, and lightly glanced around the audience. The beautiful light-colored jewel-like eyes turned around under the stage light, showing a breathtaking color.

Sure enough, just as Lu Yiwen guessed, the audience is now sparsely populated, and many viewers who are tired of watching even left the first three columns, and went to the back to spread a piece of paper and sit and chat.

After searching around but not seeing Lu Yiwen, Jian She's mood suddenly sank a lot, and she lost enthusiasm even for her opening remarks.

When Lu Yiwen was in a hurry to leave in the afternoon, he was already very disappointed, and every minute and every second of waiting for Lu Yiwen's return seemed to be soaked in anxiety, and he waited anxiously for a long time until the opening scene. did not return.

Maybe not even tonight...

There were a few young girls in the audience who wanted to yell to cheer up when they saw Jian She's face, but they were taken aback when they saw his indifferent and arrogant appearance, and turned their heads to turn their urge to shout into whispers.

The atmosphere off the field sank.

The most taboo thing about the concert is the quiet atmosphere, not to mention that Ji Caiben was the last one to appear on stage, the enthusiasm and patience of the audience had been exhausted long before, and soon some people left in twos and threes.

The first few songs that Jian She sang were all popular red songs, and there were two classic songs of undeux in it. The intention of Louis's text was to let them use the name of undeux to promote themselves, but Jian She's The voice is clear and graceful, and it doesn't match Song He's hoarse voice. It sounds good, but it lacks a sense of heaviness and suffering.

The fans are very picky, and there are many people in the audience who like undeux. When they heard this, another group of people left.

Seeing more and more people walking by, but Jian She remained indifferent and unable to raise enthusiasm, Jing Xiang was very anxious, especially now that Jing Jie was watching him on the second floor, he wanted to show a good performance tonight.

After several covers, Jian She finally sang her own original song.

After "Spring Song" and "Summer Love" were sung, the audience's emotions finally recovered a bit, but then a bigger challenge came:

"These two songs are quite nice, are they original?"

"It sounds good, but don't you think the sound of the instrument is a bit wrong?"

"The drums are too thin and the guitars are dry."

"Isn't Bass not good enough?"

The girl who had some interest in Jian She said dissatisfiedly to her companion, "I think the voice of the lead singer is almost suppressed by the musical team."

Some people also said: "The singing is actually average, and there is no emotion at all."

Because of the loud music, these chattering words did not actually reach the ears of the people on the stage, but Xu Lan felt dizzy seeing the people whispering to each other, and seemed to have returned to his freshman days in a trance. one day.

At that time, it was already the second half of the first year of high school. It was midsummer, and the insects were screaming loudly. Under the scorching sun, Xu Lan was dragged by the class teacher by the collar and dragged in front of all the students in the school. Big drops of water kept falling on his face. Rolling down, unable to tell whether it was sweat or tears, his whole body was like a withered leaf, powerless to resist.

He was forced to lift up the flag platform, and the students below exploded in an instant. From the first one or two people and one or two whispered discussions to everyone pointing at him, everyone's eyes were shocked, disbelieving, and sympathetic. , anger, and...

—Deep disgust.

Xu Lan's pupils shrank slightly, and the scenes in his memory gradually overlapped with those in front of him. For a moment, he felt that everyone in the audience was looking at him with hatred. This hatred was like a gangrene, forming a huge spiral of maliciousness around him. , as if wanting to go deep into his interior to eat his flesh and blood, and tear him into pieces.

Suddenly, all the scenes swept away like a tide, taking away all the sounds, colors, and sounds in his world.

His eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground completely.

·

When Xu Lan opened his eyes again, he was no longer on stage.

The extremely brilliant people, including himself, all returned to the preparation room of the livehouse. The faces of several team members were a little complicated. People from other bands had almost left, and there were only a few of them in the huge preparation room, which seemed extraordinarily empty.

I don't know when Lu Yiwen came back. It seemed that he was drenched in the rain. His hair and coat were covered with water. He looked a little embarrassed, but Xu Lan's heart was calmed down a lot.

Lu Yiwen was lowering his head in front of the water dispenser to help Xu Lan receive water, but he didn't turn his head when he heard the sound: "Are you awake?"

"Well...I..." Xu Lan was very nervous, "Mr. Lu, where is our live? Is it over?"

Could it be because he completely screwed up.

Fortunately, Lu Yiwen's words gave him a reassurance: "The live is fine, it hasn't been affected much, and it happened to be during the intermission, so I asked them to stop first."

"That's good..." Xu Lan curled up on the sofa, if it was because he stopped everyone's live, he didn't know how much he would blame himself.

"You did a good job." Lu Yiwen handed him the lukewarm water he had just picked up. "Although you came a little late, I just heard from Jingxiang that you worked hard today and played better than usual."

"I, how can I..." Xu Lan said very sadly, "I'm the one who dragged everyone down... I didn't help at all, and I just added trouble to you..."

"It's nothing." Lu Yiwen said, "Just do your best. Not everyone can do so well at the beginning. You won't be on stage for a while, so let's rest here."

He avoided talking about Xu Lan fainting because of fear, obviously he fully considered Xu Lan's mood and gave him enough buffer time.

Of course Xu Lan also understood this, and she was about to cry when her nose got sore.

"Hey, don't cry, don't cry." Jing Xiang's head got dizzy when he saw him crying, "We have to perform in a while, so don't cry and cry to affect our emotions."

Xu Lan swallowed tears reluctantly: "Will you still continue to perform?"

"Have you ever played basketball? Since you didn't do well in the first half, of course you have to win it in the second half." Lu Yiwen laughed, "But the method needs to be changed. I just went to Boss Wu and asked them to improve the performance of the whole game in a while." All the special effects are enabled for you, and the sound engineer and lighting engineer have re-adjusted the plan."

Xu Lan was still in a daze: "But, but there will be no Bass in a while..."

"You don't need a bass, and you don't need any complicated techniques for drums." Lu Yiwen lifted the curtain in the corner, and there was a double-row keyboard, "I will let Jianshe use this on stage soon, and let Jingxiang change the guitar." Fuck it, turn on an unplugged live."

"No, unplugged!?"

"The next songs are all ballads, and the guitar can work without plugging in the electricity." Jian She said, "This way, there is no need for the bass to reduce the dryness. This is a solution that I just thought of."

"I also thought of it on the spur of the moment." Lu Yiwen put down the curtain, looked back at Jian She, and asked him, "Can I leave it to you? Just play to your heart's content."

"..." For the first time, being looked at by Lu Yiwen with such expectant eyes, Jian She's heart seemed to be shaken severely.

"Well, let me think about it..." Seeing that Jian She didn't speak, Lu Yiwen added, "If I perform well tonight, I can agree to any of your requests, how about that?"

When talking, he kept looking at Jian She with a smile, hoping to give him encouragement.

Seeing Lu Yiwen smiling at him, Jian She felt as if someone had been thrown into a ball of colorful cotton candy, even the air was terribly sweet, he lowered his head somewhat concealingly, and agreed: "Okay. "

Anyway, those songs were originally made for you to listen to, and it is up to you to decide which version you want to listen to.

Of course he didn't say it.

Liang Qian, who was sitting silently beside him drinking water, carefully noticed Jian She's expression, and couldn't help being startled.

At this time, several staff members came to knock on the door and said that they would help them move the piano so that they could get ready to go on stage again.

Lu Yiwen thanked the staff with a smile, and left the preparation room with the rest of the boys.
