From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 152 Expo Center!audition

Leaving Osmanthus Alley this time does not mean the end, it means a new beginning, a new environment, a new life!
I didn’t have many things, so I lost what I needed to lose. After busy work and packing, I went to Wanda Plaza and drove a shared car back. I went back and forth three times and finally moved my things to the rehearsal warehouse temporarily.

I turned back to return the car, cleaned the house, and finally went to the balcony to hold the pot of tulips and walked out the door. Looking back at the empty living room, I closed the parting door very lightly.

I put the tulip on the pedal of the battery car, looked at the small pond in front of me, and after smoking a cigarette, I said softly to the surrounding air, "Goodbye! Small pond; goodbye! Osmanthus Alley."

It was very windy outside and the streets were empty. When I arrived at the warehouse, I took the quilt and made a bed on the floor for the night.

There is no air-conditioning here, and the space is large, and I am still very cold under the heavy quilt.

.........

In the early morning of the next day, I dragged my suitcase and took a taxi to W train station with my piano case.We are on the high-speed train at 07:30, and everyone met in the same carriage.

"Where's Brother Yu? Lao Wan." I scanned around, but couldn't find any trace of Shen Yu.

"He arrived in Nanjing yesterday!"

Lao Wan said: "By the way, Shen Yu also said yesterday that when we arrive at Nanjing South Railway Station, he will pick us up from there to Hexi Expo Center!"

"Oh, that's it, he has already driven away!"

I smiled: "Is the big guy nervous?"

"not nervous!"

Kaizi said something, followed by: "That's impossible!"

"Hahahaha!"

Laughter filled the entire carriage, fellow travelers looked at us carrying piano cases, and some even came up to ask us if we were going to perform, and we also chatted with strangers.

"Brother Yu, long time no see!"

After arriving at the exit of Nanjing South Railway Station, Shen Yu was waiting for us in the crowd, wearing a black coat and brown sunglasses, he was very handsome.

Shen Yu smiled at me, immediately gave me a hug, and then said: "Long time no see friends, let's go!"

We talked and laughed along the way. It’s not the first time I’ve come to Nanjing, but it’s the first time I’ve come to Nanjing in winter. Although I haven’t seen snow yet, it’s really cold outside.

Hexi Expo Center is very close to Nanjing South Railway Station. It is located in Jianye District, Nanjing, next to the Yangtze River. It didn’t take long for us to arrive at the entrance. We smoked a cigarette at the entrance with the cold wind.

From a distance, there is a wetland park on the opposite side, and the river flowing in the middle is the "Yangtze River".

"New Yunji band, peel off Yunji! Come on!"

The six people waved their hands down, and the mighty voice shook the whole Jianye. They walked confidently into the Expo Center and found the venue for the audition according to the guidance message.

There are really a lot of people, both men and women, all dressed very fashionable, and some are even some well-known independent musicians in the circle, four words to describe "master like a cloud", and the few of us... are just a few amateurs , the pressure doubles.

Those of us who participated in the audition verified the personal information form according to the guidance of the on-site staff.Everyone holds a piece of table data in their hands, and the people in our band chatted outside first.

According to the time on the form, we were scheduled to start at [-]pm.I saw some people came out of the audition room happily, some came out with a stern face, and some female contestants even cried, the difference between a sunny day and a rainy day.

"Say, can you see Brother Feng, Rain God and the others?"

Kaizi hummed a few words while talking: "Because of love, so love..."

Chang Yang said with a smile: "Yes, I can, but Kaizi... You have passed the audition first, and you will definitely be able to see it in the official recording program. If you burp on the spot today, you will return to Brother Feng!"

"Old Chang, you crow mouth, what the hell are you belching!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, let's go to the neighborhood to have a meal first, and work hard this afternoon!"

Lao Wan said, checked Meituan, and then took us to have a hot pot meal nearby. He wanted to sing and not eat spicy food, and we ate all the spicy pot.

In the afternoon, in the audition area of ​​Nanjing, we were sitting in the seats at the audition site. The dense crowd of contestants, watching those who performed quickly and ended very quickly, doubled the pressure.I think the one with the most pressure should be Lao Wan. I saw the sweat on his forehead. After all, there are so many people auditioning for the lead singer, and the program crew will be more picky.

It was already a round of auditions to send the registration video to the show. I didn't expect that there were still almost 500 people in the second round of on-site auditions.

Several small stages were set up on the spot, with drum kits, stereos, and microphones. Professional teachers hired by a program group sat on the site to perform one-on-one live performances.

"How could it not come to us yet, his grandma's... the more you wait, the more hopeless you will be..." Seeing that the number of contestants waiting at the scene became less and less, Kaizi couldn't help complaining, although I didn't say anything, I was the same as him Panic.

I also saw the Big Dipper band at the Xiaqing Midi Music Festival. They didn’t pass all the bands, only two or three seemed to pass, but the people who didn’t pass left angrily.

The rules are like this, it’s really cruel, I looked back at them in our band, they were all watching other people’s auditions seriously, thinking that if some of us didn’t pass, I would really feel bad.

I have been searching the scene, but I haven't seen Xia Qing's "Qinsheng Band", and I don't know if it has already been auditioned in the morning, or the whole band has decided on it.

It's not impossible. After all, Han Yishen and his company participated in this program. Participating in the program is nothing more than packaging the band and increasing its popularity.

Of course, from a technical point of view, every member of the Qinsheng band is very skilled. If there is no diamond, even if the back door is opened a little, it will not be long, and they will be exposed one by one as the difficulty of the program increases.

Xia Qing didn't find it, but saw Shen Qier from the Slacker Band, they were already auditioning.Shen Qier's cool percussion and hook performance directly conquered the ears and eyes of the audition teacher, and the green light passed.

The contestants at the scene were also shocked by her icy appearance and skills, and there was a lot of discussion in the audience, saying that if I were elected to the core, I would definitely choose this bass player.

In fact, Shen Qier not only plays the bass well, but also sings well. I remember her original song "Mountain Desert" in the Qingqianyuanshen Music Bar, which was very heart-warming and memorable.

The reality is cruel. The "Slacker Band" only passed Shen Qier and A Gui in the end. Before she left, she went to my place to have a look.I saw the helplessness in her eyes, and I understood what she meant by looking at me. I nodded to her gently, and she left the audition area.

"Contestant No. 468, please get ready on Channel [-]!"

Suddenly, the voice broadcast of the hostess came from the radio, I looked at the number plate in my hand, excited and nervous, mother Xipi, it was finally my turn to audition.

"Come on, Yunqian!"

My friends in the band cheered me up, I nodded and smiled at them, took the guitar and the effector and went to the third station, and cooperated with the tuner to make a simple adjustment on the mixer.
