This guy named He Er was dragged aside by his ear.
"The master is assembling the drum, so don't cause any trouble. The assessment master that Boss Qin mentioned will be here soon, so you all need to behave yourselves and make a good impression on him," said a young man with a somewhat thin and mature face.
Clearly, this thin young man is the core of the band.
"Hey guys! How did you get in here? I don't think you can just come in here right now, right?" Since he had nothing better to do, Liang Liang started chatting idly, and the drum set was quickly set up.
“We came at the invitation of the owner of this nightclub.”
Liang Liang nodded: "Look at you guys with your long hair, are you in a band?"
"I didn't play well, I just messed around!" The thin young man was quite modest.
"Plays rock music?"
"It's not all rock; we sing whatever's popular."
This is somewhat similar to the team-building philosophy of their band, Blue Shark.
"Why do you guys keep your hair so long if you don't play rock and roll? It takes you much longer to wash your hair than others. I don't think I've ever heard of any amateur bands like this in Hongya."
"Who said that? Our Red Cliff Band was formed in the summer, and we've done several shows, including Bangchui Island Beer... Waaah!"
He Er couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out, but before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered.
"Ah! You even participated in the event that Bangchui Island held in our Yahe? You participated in such a big event?"
"That's right! Our band earned four hundred yuan in that performance!" He Er was someone who couldn't stand being alone. Luckily, he was a man; if he were a woman, he would definitely be selling himself at the door.
"Four hundred yuan! That much? I only earn three hundred yuan a month!"
Wang Fan, who was fiddling with the electronic keyboard, had turned blue in the lips. In Liang Liang's own words, "This guy is showing off again."
"Does your band need any more members? Can I join your band?"
As it turns out, He Er was an untamable husky. While the other members of the Hongya band were a bit confused, this guy rushed out like Cheng Yaojin.
"Our band isn't one that just anyone can join. What can you do? Guitar, bass, keyboard, drums—which are you good at?"
Liang Liang shook his head: "I don't know any of those, but I can repair drums and maintain guitars, basses, keyboards, and the like. The instruments I maintain can be guaranteed to last a long time longer."
"This won't do; we don't need to maintain the instruments."
"Really not going to work? I'm very capable. Just give me a little more than my current salary. Normally, I eat grass and vomit blood... oh no, I mean milk!"
"That won't work either! But if you could spit out gold coins, I might consider it."
Liang Liang was utterly exhausted. What was wrong with his brain? If I knew how to make gold coins, would I have come here?!
"Really not possible? That's such a shame!"
Wang Fan couldn't stand it anymore. Just then, he finished installing the stand on his electronic keyboard, plugged it in, and made some sound.
He simply couldn't stand someone's pretentious attitude.
"You've finished installing it over there? I've finished installing mine too!" Hearing the movement from Wang Fan's side, Liang Liang tightened the last fixing part.
Then, sitting behind the drum, I picked up the drumsticks and struck each cymbal from the drum to the cymbals, and then made some adjustments.
After the drum was tuned, Liang Liang thought for a moment and then started playing it.
Boom boom boom boom boom... boom boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom boom... boom boom boom boom boom...
He Er, who had been chattering away just moments before, plopped down on the stage, his wide eyes not blinking for a full minute.
He's a drummer himself, and the string of drums played by the young drum maker just now almost scared him so much he peed his pants.
Is this some kind of incompetence? The rhythm of this move is clearly not that of an amateur.
This guy looks handsome, but he's actually a liar.
The other members of the Red Cliff Band also felt a chill in their hearts.
Although the drumbeat wasn't particularly difficult, the rhythm and steadiness of the drummer clearly indicated that he was a veteran.
Upon hearing Liang Liang's drumbeats, Wang Fan immediately recognized it as the prelude to "No Place to Hide" and promptly began playing along with the keyboard.
The song and its accompaniment lasted for more than five minutes, and the four members of the Red Cliff Band watched it without moving, just like four statues, while the two installation technicians played it.
The next movement is a series of motions, one after another.
The performance ended after a final, intense drumbeat.
Then Liang Liang saw the blank stares of all the members of the Red Cliff Band.
Actually, the drum score for this song isn't difficult; it's slightly harder than the beginner level, but it's still basically at the elementary level.
That's enough to stun these kids?
Their skill level is likely to disappoint Liang Liang.
"Hey buddy! I didn't expect you to be such a master! Your skills are even better than my master's! Please accept my bow!" He Er really didn't treat himself like an outsider.
When Han Chui arrives, I must introduce the two of them to each other. These two guys are absolutely inseparable.
Liang Liang now realizes that there are many shameless and thick-skinned people in this world.
"Get lost! How old are you to call me 'little brother'? Does that make me look old? And who's your master anyway?"
"My master is a woman, surnamed Xiao! You probably don't know her either. She's beautiful and plays the drums even better. She's the idol and dream girl of all of us young men." He Er said this with a look of longing on his face.
That expression clearly indicates he's up to no good; he's probably having some kind of fantasy going on in his head...
Hehe! When Xiao Yu comes, I'll definitely add fuel to the fire and write a report to trick this kid, and see if Xiao Yu will clean house.
Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on someone's face.
Just then, the wall clock struck nine.
Liang Liang stood up from behind the drum set.
"Alright, kids! Now let me see what you're really made of. The test begins!"
The entire Red Cliff band was completely bewildered, staring at Liang Liang in utter confusion.
"Now we can reveal the answer. I am your examiner for today. From now until 10 o'clock, bring out your best skills and let me see if you are 58 or 40!"
After saying that, Liang Liang and Wang Fan sat down in the audience, looking like two piles of high-class chicken droppings.
"The stage has already been handed over to you, what are you all standing there for? Waiting for the food to be served? There are still three hours until noon, it's a bit early for lunch!"
The members of the Red Cliff Band huddled together and whispered a few words, then He Er walked a few steps toward the edge of the stage.
"Hey buddy! Who are you guys? Which band are you in? There aren't any other bands in Red Cliff besides us."
"Isn't that obvious? Since there are no other bands in Red Cliff, then we come from somewhere else. We are the Blue Shark Band."
Blue Shark Band?
The members of the Red Cliff Band were collectively lost in memories.
