King of Stage

Chapter 50: Every second counts

   A spotlight focused on the center of the stage, and a cross was pasted on the ground with black tape to mark the center of the stage. This is the place where magic is born, which is fascinating.

On the stage, a variety of musical instruments are placed one by one. In addition to basic drums, pianos, and multi-layer keyboards, you can also see classic jazz instruments such as saxophone, French horn, and trombone. It's like a symphony orchestra.

Before the stage, there was nothing in the empty space. Even the lines and water pipes were exposed above the head. If it were not for the snow globe and different lights hanging above, it could almost be said to be an abandoned venue, and performance venues and bars. Nothing can be hooked up.

   However, at this moment, Ronan could feel the faint excitement in his heart—

Standing on the stage, about one person high from the ground, and looking down from above, you can have a panoramic view of the entire empty venue. This venue can accommodate at least 600 to 700 people in a few hours. It will be filled with fullness, and then allow the audience to come in and out at any time, the wonderful performance is bound to be full, and the mediocre performance may cause the flow of people, everything is clear at a glance.

   Without even closing his eyes, Ronan seemed to be able to see the scene of the audience jumping and enjoying themselves, which made people excited.

Alice’s lens was again aimed at Ronan and Ollie. Bright light from above the stage passed through the stairs of the side stage and fell into the darkness of the backstage. The dust flying up and down outlined the light's trajectory, just like this lightly. In Ronan and Ollie, there is not the cheapest, outlining the quiet concentration, and faintly revealing a little excitement, the pace of time seems to have stopped in an instant.

   "At that moment, I seem to be able to feel their souls with wings on and they are eagerly unfolding."

   Alice has captured the inspiration spiritually, and has a new understanding of the content and themes of the documentary, which allows her to settle down and enter their world.

   "... Ronan!"

Ollie’s slightly nervous voice came from his ears. Ronan caught his sight. Only then did he find that Ollie was standing behind him, looking forward with a serious expression. Because of fear of life, his voice was immediately lowered to the level of mosquitoes, which was completely useless. Laughter can act as an attack weapon.

Ronan quickly gathered his attention. The staff in front of him was wearing the same black T-shirt, with the words "Full Moon Party, Old Blacksmith Bar" printed on his left chest in dark blue, but his tired face was impatient at this time. Repeated my own words, "The name of the band and the required instruments."

   "One day king. Keyboards, electric guitars, bass, drums, and we will also bring our own acoustic guitar." Ronan did not argue, but gave the answer directly.

   For a staff member who is extremely nervous, he needs things to be able to follow the track, and the politeness and courtesy can be omitted.

Sure enough, the staff quickly completed the registration, and then repeated it again. After getting Ronan's confirmation, he beckoned, "Follow me up." Then he walked directly onto the stage, "When the time comes, we will be on the left and right. Leave space for the keyboard separately. Before your performance starts, tell the sidewalk staff whether you want to use the keyboard on the guitar side or the bass side."

   Ollie followed Ronan step by step and remained silent the whole time, but his attention was not always the same. He also checked the situation of the stage with Ronan, and asked about the microphone and lighting.

   After all the questions were answered, Ronan asked, "Can we rehearse now? We want to feel the sound effect."

  Live performances are very special performances. According to the size of the venue, the size of the stage, the sound effects, etc., the band needs to adjust the performance status.

To put it simply, the focus of band performances in a venue that accommodates four hundred people and a venue that accommodates 100,000 people is necessarily different; even if it is different performance occasions in the same venue, it may be just the difference between last night and tonight. The effects may also be slightly different, and the band still needs to make detailed adjustments.

   This is also the charm of concerts, which is different from the charm of records.

If you really like a singer or a band, if you really like music, then you must go to the scene to listen to a concert in your lifetime, because it will be an experience you will never forget, and at the same time, you will never be able to feel the music by yourself. Unique charm.

After getting permission, Ronan and Ollie both stepped forward and simply played the half song "Don’t Give Up on Belief." Then Ronan changed positions again, holding the electric guitar to play the role of Cliff, and playing with Ollie. The song is "inborn", the two people confirmed the sound and lighting in detail, and quickly completed the communication with the on-site staff—

  Because time is tight, and the sound and lighting are unified effects, rather than customized effects for each band, it is the best way to directly inquire and communicate instead of adjusting the running-in slowly.

   After entering the rehearsal state, Ollie’s mood gradually relaxed and joined Ronan’s ranks, UU reading www. uukanshu.com began to test all aspects of stage performances that need to be understood. About ten minutes later, Maxim and Cliff also appeared. They didn't say much, and immediately joined the rehearsal, racing against time.

   Thirty minutes, it was over in a blink of an eye. It seemed that the next band had not had time to spit it out, and the next band was already standing next to the stage.

   Really counts every second, and the pace can’t stop at all.

   Ronan and they quickly ended their rehearsal, greeted the next band, and hurriedly left the old blacksmith bar.

When leaving the back door again, Ollie was the first to discover that the parking lot was gradually full, and stopped the band members’ exchange of opinions, got in the car quickly, left quickly, gave up his parking space, and ensured that they would come to the rehearsal. The band was able to find a parking spot smoothly.

There was a gust of wind and cloud chaos. When the car was far away from Bourbon Street, the panic and nervous mood seemed to be finally relieved. Then everyone exchanged a glance at each other, collectively laughed, and the violent movement of turning forward and backward made the vehicle They all swayed, causing the driver Cliff to yell again and again:

   "Calm down! Guys, calm down! I don't want to roll over!"

   one second. Two seconds.

   After a two-second calm pause, laughter broke out again.

At this time, they had time to discuss the situation. Ronan was sharing the stage situation with Maxim, but Ollie was distracted and thought of another thing, "So, what you confirmed in the lounge, there is Is there anything to share?"

   was originally an ordinary question, but Maxim paused and cast an uneasy look at Cliff.

   The air is slightly tight.
