King of Stage

Chapter 98: Street performance

   When Cliff proposed a road tour and street performance, he did not expect that this journey would eventually become a valuable experience.

Although the One Day King’s Band has been in the army for seven years, for various reasons, they never have time to concentrate on special training. This period of time should be the most intensive, most frequent and attentive stage of practice since the band’s establishment. There is nowhere to escape from embarrassment on the street.

Moreover, there is no concealment of the atmosphere of the performance stage, and no illuminating cover of brilliant lights. Any member's mistakes will be directly seen, and even public executions with magnified effects. Sincerely, no one wants to be the one who is put in the spotlight. The members below.

Naturally, everyone needs to work harder and be more focused. Under the realistic pressure of street performances, everyone puts out 200% mental investment in practice. Only in this way can every performance be truly worthwhile. Return fare—even if the street performance is in progress, it cannot be stopped continuously.

   It seems the same at this time.

Pedestrians come and go on the street in an endless stream, but there is no one to stop, as if the band members are invisible people, this kind of performance atmosphere can be described as deserted, or even pitiful, unattended, for the band members , They have been able to fully concentrate on the practice.

   To be precise, it is not completely unattended, because there are three black brothers next to them watching their movements closely—

   However, they are not audiences, but "independent artists" who are responsible for "selling" their own albums. That's how it is said, but after removing the quotation marks, they are actually scammers.

They will forcibly sell their low-quality albums to pedestrians. An album costs ten dollars. As long as the pedestrians hesitate a little or reach out to catch the album they have crammed into their arms, then the next step is to buy and sell. , Which is why they appear in groups:

   In order to ensure that the cheated person can only swallow it in his stomach if he breaks his teeth.

Ronan knew it because on the first day he arrived in Las Vegas, he noticed these little black brothers. Although Cliff had warned Ronan repeatedly, Ronan did not evade it, and he took the initiative to welcome him. Going forward, he proactively bought an album out of his own pocket.

   Cliff was grinned directly, but Ronan said he hoped to listen to their music carefully.

   After going back, Ronan really found a retro Walkman, and listened carefully to all the tracks on the entire CD—

Although it is a scam of forced buying and selling, it is fortunate that the music is indeed recorded on the CD, and all of them are original tracks. However, the quality of the finished product is very rough, and the existence of noise and noise leads to poor quality. The original tracks themselves The quality is also uneven.

Strictly speaking, these little black guys are indeed "independent artists", but they are not high-level and talented, so they chose such a way to "sell" their albums, which makes it impossible to distinguish between them. Is it chasing dreams, or barely making ends meet.

   Later, when Ronan met the same group of people again, he not only didn't avoid it, but also took the initiative to discuss the creation of rap with them.

   As a result... they unexpectedly became friends.

Later, the group of brothers also prepared to return Ronan's ten dollars, but Ronan said that this was the money for the album, which also won the appreciation of the group of guys. Later, the Kings band played in Las Vegas. The short-term permit for street performances in Sri Lanka was obtained with their help—

Because Las Vegas is a city of performances outside of the casinos, each casino has its own special performances. In order to ensure that tourists pay for the rich nightlife of the casinos, the City Hall permits street performances. More stringent, it is not easy to apply.

   did not expect that, after going around so round and round, the band successfully obtained a short-term permit for street performances.

At this time, the three black brothers standing next to him are not the same people who Ronan bought the album, but they all know each other, and they have heard of Ronan’s name, so they can’t help but wink at Ronan. , Blew the whistle, "Your teammates are about to fight."

   Ronan, who had awakened from the city symphony, waved his hand to the black brother in response, and then looked at the three teammates who were arguing.

  Because there is no audience for the time being, the band members stopped to discuss the performance just now:

   "Don't Give Up Belief" by Journey Band.

Street performances are very particular about atmosphere and rhythm. What kind of music to choose for what occasion and what styles are all tricks. One day some of the King’s repertoires may not be suitable, so they often perform some cover songs. Those who are familiar with it. The songs always win more applause and at the same time exercise the tacit understanding of the band members.

   However, the quality and effect of the performance did not meet the band's expectations. They must re-examine their performance and confirm that they corrected their mistakes in time.

   "Well, Ollie grabbed the shot, but Cliff didn't. UU reading www.uukanshu.com was half a shot slow because of Maxim's own judgment."

   Ronan gave the answer. Obviously, he was not completely distracted just now. He still watched the band's practice closely and gave the answer directly.

   The band members did not refute or agree, but adjusted according to Ronan’s words, and then practiced again several times to see how the effect was—

Through the experience of this road tour, they really realized that, in fact, arguments are often invalid, practice is the way out, and most of the time, it has been proved that Ronan is correct, and the accuracy rate continues with the increase in practice. Going higher, the argument becomes even more unnecessary.

  Of course, the band members still have some disagreements, but they have to verbally argue, they are more used to practice to verify.

   Sure enough, Ronan was right again this time.

Ronan did not show off proudly, but continued, "Oli, every time you enter the chorus, you are easy to grab the rhythm. You need to adjust your breathing and feel the rhythm. You can't let the melody hold your rhythm. Instead, you should sense the rhythm yourself, and then interpret the melody."

"Let's practice twice again, and you can feel it." Before Ronan's words were finished, Ollie looked over, with a hint of help in his eyes, Ronan simply said, "You watch my beat rhythm , Feel it with your breath."

   Although Maxim and Cliff are not mentioned, their eyes have been projected naturally, feeling the melody following Ronan's beat.

Repeatedly and repeatedly, the band continued to practice like this seven times. All members finally stepped on the correct rhythm, but it was still not over. Then they continued to practice five times to ensure that the muscles and brain can remember The correct rhythm avoids making mistakes next time.
