King of Stage

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 where the magic was born, which is fascinating.

On the stage, all kinds of musical instruments are placed one by one. In addition to the basic drums, pianos, and multi-layer keyboards, you can also see classic jazz instruments such as saxophones, French horns, and trombones. Go like a symphony orchestra.

Before the stage, there was nothing in the empty space, and even the exposed lines and water pipes above the head, if it weren’t for the snow globes and different lights hanging above, it could almost be said to be an abandoned venue, as well as performance venues, bars, etc. Nothing is hooked.

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

Standing on the stage, about one person's height from the ground, looking down from a high position, you can have a panoramic view of the entire empty venue. This venue can accommodate at least 600 to 700 people. It will be filled to the brim, and then the audience is allowed to come in and out at any time. A wonderful performance will inevitably sell out the audience, and a mediocre performance may cause a crowd. Everything is clear at a glance.

Even without closing his eyes, Ronan seemed to be able to see the whole audience jumping and enjoying the scene, which made people's blood boil.

Alice’s camera is aimed at Ronan and Ollie again. The bright light from above the stage and through the stairs of the side stage falls into the darkness of the backstage. The dust flying up and down outlines the trajectory of the light, just like that. In Ronan and Ollie's not the cheapest, it outlines the quiet concentration, faintly revealing a little joy, and the pace of time seems to stop for an instant.

"At that moment, I seemed to be able to feel that their souls had wings and were eagerly unfolding."

Alice Fuzhi captured the inspiration in her heart, and gained a new understanding of the content and theme of the documentary, which made her settle down and enter their world.

"... Ronan!"

Ollie's slightly nervous voice came from his ear, and Ronan caught his sight, only to realize that Ollie was standing behind him, looking at the front with a serious expression. Because he was afraid of being born, his voice immediately dropped to the level of mosquitoes, which was completely useless for normal use. Laughter can serve as a gesture of attack weapon.

Ronan quickly gathered his attention. The staff in front of him were wearing the same black T-shirt, with the words "Full Moon Party, Old Blacksmith Bar" printed in dark blue on the left chest, but at this moment there was a trace of impatience on the tired face, He repeated his own words, "The name of the band and the required instruments."

"King for a day. Keyboards, electric guitars, bass, drums, and we will also bring our own acoustic guitar." Ronan did not argue but said the answer directly.

For a staff member who is extremely nervous, he needs things to move forward on track, and those politeness and courtesy can be omitted.

Sure enough, the staff quickly completed the registration, and then repeated it again. After getting confirmation from Ronan, he waved, "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 keyboards separately, and tell the floor staff before your show if you want to use the keyboard on the guitar side or the bass side."

Ollie followed Ronan step by step, keeping silent the whole time, but he didn't pay attention. He also checked the situation of the stage with Ronan, and asked about the situation of the microphone and lighting.

After all the questions were answered, Ronan took the initiative to ask, "Can we have a rehearsal now? We want to feel the sound effect."

Live performances are very special performances. Depending on the size of the venue, stage size, acoustics, etc., the band needs to adjust the performance status.

To put it simply, a venue for 400 people and a venue for 100,000 people,

The focus of the band's performance is bound to be very different; even if it is different performance occasions in the same venue, the difference may be only the difference between last night and tonight, and the effect 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 a live concert to listen to it in your lifetime, because it will be an unforgettable experience, and it is also something that you will never be able to feel when you hear the music alone unique charm.

After getting the permission, both Ronan and Ollie stepped forward and briefly played half of the song "Don't Give Up Your Faith". Then Ronan changed positions, playing the role of Cliff with the electric guitar in his arms, and played half of the song with Ollie. The song "Innate", the two confirmed the sound and lighting in detail, and quickly communicated 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 ask and communicate rather than slowly adjust and adjust.

After entering the rehearsal state, Ollie's emotions gradually relaxed, joined Ronan's ranks, and began to test all aspects of the stage performance. About ten minutes later, Maxim and Cliff also appeared, and they didn't say much. , immediately joined the rehearsal, racing against time.

Thirty minutes ended in the blink of an eye. It seemed that the next band had already stood beside the stage before they could breathe out.

It is really a race against time, and the pace cannot be stopped at all.

Ronan and the others quickly finished their rehearsal, greeted the next band, and left the Old Blacksmith Bar in a hurry.

When he left the back door again, Ollie was the first to notice that the parking lot was getting full. He stopped the exchange of ideas among the band members, got in the car quickly, and left quickly to give up his own parking space to ensure that those who came to the rehearsal later The band was able to find a parking spot without a hitch.

There was a gust of chaos, and when the car left Bourbon Street far away, the panic and tension seemed to be finally relieved a little. They all shook together, causing the driver Cliff to yell strangely:

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

one second. two seconds.

After a calm pause for two seconds, laughter broke out again.

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

It was originally just an ordinary question, but Maxim paused, and cast a look at Cliff with an uneasy expression.

The air is slightly tense.
