Disaster Artist

Chapter 20 Hesitation
I advise you to be careful in your words and actions.You have no idea who you are commenting on.

Bai Zhe only dared to whisper in his heart about Party A's opinion.Who knows what kind of existence they are, if they can be avoided, they will not be provoked.

"I told you that it was not a mechanical gorilla, it was the sound of giant animals. The sounds of elephants and whale songs were processed with synthesizer effects."

the Superman bassist complained.

"Two votes for the mechanical gorilla."

The drummer made up for it.

It turns out that you have read it and cannot read it back.Bai Zhe's face turned dark. Why do some people always think that he is here to make trouble?

"Yes, I sent it."

Lead singer Anjie thought for a while and nodded.That thing is weird, but it's kind of interesting.

"Get in the car first and talk slowly on the way."

Several people loaded the musical instruments onto the rented open truck, and Bai Zhe also helped a little.

Shadow vision can determine whether other people are malicious towards him. In the past, he would not dare to get into other people's cars in the border area.

He noticed that all three members of the band had prosthetic hands and ears, a common configuration found on musicians.

There are light blue metal lines on Anjie's ten knuckles, and a crescent-shaped pattern extends diagonally downward behind his ears. Most of the structure of the embedded prosthesis is well hidden under the skin.

Embedded prostheses are the most popular type. After all, most people are not so enthusiastic about the performance of prostheses that they are willing to remove intact original organs.

After adding functional model-adapted hand prostheses, the musician's performance level can be significantly improved, and ear prostheses can improve the accuracy of the sound.

However, from the outside, the lead singer did not have a prosthetic throat, he used his natural voice.

"What's your name?"

"Bai Zhe, An Jie, drummer Leslie, and versatile bassist Zuo Ming, right?"

"That's right. What, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making that loud scream into music?"

Anjie looked strange.After listening to the audio in the private message, the three of them discussed it for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution.

I judged it to be a roar because I could hear the obvious emotion in it.But no one knows what exactly the roaring thing is.

"I'm a dreamer, so I often have to extract and process memory materials.

Recently, I extracted a piece of dream-like memory material from a friend. The picture cannot be used, but the sound effect is very clear.

I dealt with it briefly and found that this kind of roaring sound is quite interesting, but it can only be wasted in my hands.

How should I put it, mainly because of interest. It would be interesting to transform this accidental inspiration into works. "

Bai Zhe made a lot of half-truths and half-falsies, and it seemed that the three of them were quite convinced.So easy to cheat.

The pickup truck parked in front of an old bar and a few people moved things into a storage room behind the bar.

Placebo sang at Moby Dick twice a week for a small fee, so the boss agreed to lend them the storage room.

There weren't many people in the bar.They sat down at a table in the corner and ordered several large glasses of wine. They also ordered two glasses for Bai Zhe, saying it was a fan benefit.

"It's really interesting. I haven't heard of it. I think I can read it instead."

Bai Zhe used the terminal to play the full version of the audio, and bassist Zuo Ming commented.

The drummer also nodded, it was indeed fresh.

"Then tell me how to adapt it specifically."

"I don't know. Do you know?"

"I do not know either."

Anjie's face turned dark, and he didn't know that the two of you nodded like a hammer.

Their band plays in a wide range of genres, including adaptations of folk music and classical music, but "Unknown Roaring in Dreams" is really a bit ahead of its time.

Zuo Ming: "Haven't we chosen weird themes before? This one is right."

Anjie: "But are those two songs well written?"

"Not good. I was chased and scolded by the audience while singing." Bai Zhe wanted to laugh a little.The image of the Placebo band was slightly different from what he imagined.

He saw that the other party was very confused.The other party must have noticed that he, a "fan", didn't look like a wealthy person, so the commission fee was probably not much, but he didn't have the nerve to ask.

The three of them drank and argued, and Bai Zhe also took the opportunity to understand the true status of the underground band.

I was losing money most of the time as a band, and I wanted to quit my job but didn't dare.I dream of becoming famous every day, but I also resist the record company affiliated with Eden Entertainment. Many bands' works completely change after signing.

After discussing it for a long time, they still hesitated.They worry about their own creative ability and the receptiveness of their audience.

Bai Zhe did not rush them and asked them to fully consider before replying.

For creative activities, it is the truth that a tough melon is not sweet.Putting a bunch of rules on creators, and even forcing them to express themes that they don't believe in at all, will only produce shit, or carefully crafted shit.

For the Placebo Band, the probability of success is slim.Just wait and see and move on tomorrow.

--------

The next morning, Kite Street, Nova Border District.

Bai Zhe couldn't find the Metal Kite Band's recent performance schedule, so he took a car to Kite Street for a field trip.

This band was born on this street. There is a Kite Bar on the street. The logo is a big iron kite, which is probably the origin of the band's name.

The Kite Bar is where this band used to perform most often.

The officially planned urban area of ​​Nova is divided into six rings, with the first and second rings being the central area.Old Gilbert lived on the third ring road, and he lived on the edge of the sixth ring road.

Chimen Street, where Bai Zhe often visited, was within the Seventh Ring Road.The block where Kite Street is located is almost at the [-]th Ring Road.

Most of the buildings here are low- to mid-rise, as well as bungalows, and the planning of the buildings and streets is in a mess.

Plastic garbage is everywhere on the streets, homeless people can be seen in the alleys, and the security situation is even more vibrant.

After graduating from welfare school, he came from a similar neighborhood, so he naturally made preparations in advance.Wearing a bulletproof helmet, he carried pepper spray and a high-powered stun gun in his pocket.

Walking to the Kite Bar, Bai Zhe went to the bar and ordered the cheapest drink and asked about the band.The wine was weak and unpleasant.

"Metal Kite? Oh, you don't live here. They signed a contract with a record company, just recently."

The bartender came up and gave him some bad news.

Damn it, is he so accurate? He was signed by the record company.

"I won't sing here anymore. Who wants to be trapped in a ghost place if there is a chance to go to the Central District?
Well, this is their new promotional poster, and they will have a public performance in two months. "

The bartender pressed the remote control, and the electronic screen on the wall of the bar flashed a few times, showing the band's official debut promotional poster.

Bai Zhe looked at the poster and felt a little numb.

etc.
"No, the drummer is wrong. She is different from what I remember."

"The drummer was changed. For some reason, three were signed, but no drummer was signed.

Those record companies have so many resources at their disposal, it’s easy to replace them with a similar drummer. "

No, no, it's definitely not that easy to replace.

Bai Zhe's eyes lit up.In this band, the one who had the strongest impact on him was the drummer who was a little crazy when playing drums.

It’s hard to believe that the suppressed wildness and explosive power come from the extremely small drummer, whose height is estimated to be less than 1.5 meters.

"If the original drummer hadn't signed a contract, she would still be here? How can I contact her?"

"I don't know. If you want to find Moya, you can go to Roger's repair shop. Moya has a good relationship with the repairman."

"Thanks."

Roger Repair Shop.Bai Zhe took note and gave the bartender a tip of 20 yuan.

"Next time you come, I will give you less water."

You are still weird.

　When I went out for a cat walk, I met three black cat cubs, and the two cats had a friendly meeting.
