For a moment, everyone in the rehearsal room was looking at Su Shi, except for Su Shi who was still staring blankly at Le Na's light and was being stared at by everyone.
"Stare~"
Le Nai stared at Su Shi silently, his pair of heterochromatic pupils seemed to stand up and turn into a pair of mean cat-like pupils.
Su Shi felt more sweat on her forehead. She tilted her head and forced out a gentle smile, then asked softly, "Um... why are everyone looking at me?"
Aiyin came back to her senses and belatedly asked, "Yeah, why are you looking at Suyo-san?"
Qing pretended to be dumb and said: "I don't know, I saw Le Nai staring at Su Shi and I followed her."
It's better to let others do the raising of cats. Qing will definitely not be a scapegoat. First, he doesn't have the financial resources, and second, he is worried that the cat will be electrocuted while raising it.
In the plot of the mobile game, Lixi basically plays the role of Lenai's owner. Although he wants to control Lenai, he basically can't do anything about it. He can only feed Lenai to make him obedient.
Ain would feed Lenai from time to time, but she basically didn't pamper him, which made Lenai go to Rikki when she couldn't get feed from Ain.
Suyo is more like Lenae's parent, caring for and educating Lenae, and Lenae is also relatively well behaved in front of Suyo. Of course, this is what happens in the later plot of the animation. Now, Suyo, who pretends to be gentle, should let Lenae stick to her hard, so that she can break her defenses while maintaining a smile on the surface. When Qingna thinks of such a two-faced Suyo, the disease called "smiling when seeing Soyo's face" that she has finally cured will relapse.
As for Deng, Deng is just a ventilator for Lenai. Can a ventilator have a cat? From the episode of "appearing with random character combinations", Deng + Lenai characters never appeared once, which shows how difficult it is for these two to stay together.
"I saw Qingqing looking at Sushi-san so I followed her."
Aine added.
Li Xi complained: "What? I thought this matter had something to do with her, but it turns out to be just this reason?"
Su Shi's expression was as if she was about to die. She quietly took a step back and said, "But it's useless to just look at me for this kind of thing, right? Isn't this the whole band's business?"
Qing also looked away at this time and didn't intend to put Su Shi on the spot anymore. Of course, it was possible that she would laugh if she continued to watch. Qing looked at Aine and said, "Speaking of which, our band hasn't decided who will manage the money yet."
"Does that kind of thing need someone to take care of it? Should we wait until the band can make a profit before considering this kind of thing?"
Li Xi expressed his views bluntly.
Seeing that everyone had such a weak concept of money, Qing could only speak up and make a suggestion: "Since Li Xi is the one who makes reservations for rehearsal rooms for our band now, right? We can just pay a little money each as the band's public funds and let Li Xi keep it, and then the fees for rehearsal room reservations and live performances can be deducted from the band's funds. The condition for Lenai to join is that we treat her, so the cost of her snacks can also be counted as public funds."
Li Xi had no objection to being assigned the task of managing the money. She just complained: "Let's treat her to some snacks together. Is the stray cat a mercenary?"
Su Shi agreed with a smile: "I think this is a good suggestion."
Now Su Shi just wanted to clear herself from this matter. The way everyone looked at her just now made her feel like she was being roasted on the fire. If Qing hadn't spoken in time, she might have had to agree to the task of feeding the stray cats. Su Shi has never been good at refusing other people's requests, especially when so many people expected her to do so.
If she accepted the task of feeding Lenai, Su Shi couldn't imagine how much trouble it would be. Managing Lenai's unreadable and free-spirited style would simply give her high blood pressure. It was ridiculous that Li Xi hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem and had been assigned such a troublesome task without knowing anything.
Aiyin actually had no problem with Rikki managing the money, but she still wanted to tease Rikki, so she acted embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Eh? Should I give the money to Rikki?"
"Huh? Who is Rikki?"
Rikki was suddenly confused by the strange pronunciation of her name, Aine. Rikki is the kanji pronunciation of Rikki in Japanese, but the real pronunciation of Rikki's name is Taki. Aine is a joke nickname that she deliberately mispronounced after knowing Rikki's kanji name.
“Rikki is Rikki!”
Aiyin said this as a matter of course, with a look of even some complacency on her face, which made Riki gnash his teeth and get really angry.
Qing rushed out to put out the fire and asked Ain, "Ain, do you have any objection to Rikki keeping the band's funds?"
"Huh? Why are you starting too?"
Li Xi's eyes twitched a few times, and then he glared at Qing unhappily, successfully diverting a considerable amount of firepower.
Aiyin pretended not to notice Li Xi's angry look, and discussed seriously with Qing, saying: "We should also use the band funds to design our performance costumes, right? And when we shoot the video and buy props, we will also need to use the band funds. What if Rikki blocks us from using the funds?"
Of course, Aiyin wasn't really worried that Riki would hold up her funding. After all, if she was really worried about this kind of thing, she would definitely not say it in front of the person involved.
Qingye nodded seriously, then looked at Li Xi and asked, "Rikki, do you think the situation that Aine said will happen?"
Li Xi didn't know how to complain anymore. She took a deep breath, raised her voice and asked: "You guys, what kind of strange image do you have of me? And I'm not called that name! Finally, as long as you don't waste the band's funds, I will definitely not stop you!"
Wow, she was obviously angry but still answered our questions properly, Rikki is so cute!
Qing suppressed his smile and looked at Aine, saying, "Rikki said so?"
Aine nodded seriously and said, "Since Rikki has said so, I have no objection."
After saying that, the two looked at each other. It was not known who was stunned first, but in the end, they both burst out laughing at the same time. Su Shi on the side also looked at Li Xi's angry look with a smile, and Lenai also looked at everyone with interest.
Deng has been sitting aside and not participating in everyone's conversation, but she has been watching everyone. Seeing everyone getting along happily together, she is genuinely happy. This kind of time spent with the band playing and joking is what she longs for.
"Where are the lights? What do you think about leaving the management of the band's funds to Rikki?"
At this time, Qing threw this question to the last lamp that had not yet expressed its opinion.
Deng looked at Lixi. Lixi, who was gritting her teeth and glaring at Aiqing and the other man who were teasing her, instantly put away her angry expression when Deng's gaze swept over her. She looked at Deng with some resentment, and was a little nervous about how Deng would answer this question about her.
Deng clenched his fists, looked like he was cheering her on, and said with great vigor: "I think Xiao Lixi is very suitable. Come on!"
"Ah...thank you for your trust, Deng."
Li Xi responded to Deng's expectations with some touching and shyness. Looking at Li Xi's completely different attitude when facing other people and when facing Deng, which was almost the same as Su Shi's one-second opening, Qing couldn't help turning his head and laughing secretly.
Today is also a day of perfect temperature control.
But Qing's giggle was discovered by Su Shi. When Qing noticed that Su Shi was looking at her meaningfully, Qing immediately took the initiative and said, "But Li Xi is already in charge of arranging the music for our band and managing the band's funds. It's better to let others take care of Lenai."
After hearing Qing's words, Su Shi suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, but now she had missed the best time to speak.
Qing looked at Su Shi and said sincerely: "Since Lenai was looking at you just now, please take Lenai to eat snacks in the future and take good care of Lenai."
Su Shi forced a smile, pointed at himself with an incredulous expression and said: "Eh? Me? This is a bit..."
Japanese people are very particular about reading the atmosphere when socializing. When they want to politely refuse someone, they usually don't say no explicitly. Instead, they will act hesitant and leave the words half-said. The other person will then understand what you mean and take back the request in a dignified manner.
However, Qing was not someone who would follow these red tapes. She showed a kind smile, raised her fingers one by one as she spoke, and said, "Ain will design the clothes, Deng will write the lyrics, Li Xi will compose the music, and I will shoot and edit the promotional video, so the task of taking care of Le Na will be left to you, Su Shi."
Having said that, Su Shi, who was not good at saying no, found it even harder to say no. She looked at Le Na eagerly, expecting Le Na to raise some objections. Unfortunately, after Le Na and Su Shi looked at each other, Le Na showed a cynical smile and smiled at Su Shi.
Qing Jian Su Shi couldn't refuse, so he quickly finalized the matter, clapped his hands and said: "In this case, it's settled. Su Shi, you have to get along well with Le Nai!"
"Aren't you going to start practicing yet?"
Seeing that everyone had finally finished discussing their affairs, Le Nai couldn't wait to urge them to do so. Although it was quite human nature for her to wait for everyone to finish discussing things, she didn't leave Su Shi any room for objection, which made Su Shi feel that she was very clumsy.
Finally, after the complicated joining of new members, short meetings and relaxing play, AnonTokyo started its first band practice.
93
Chapter 93: Joint training, filming, cause and effect.
After redistributing the tasks of the guitar parts, Le Nai played the lead guitar part, and Aion was responsible for the rhythm guitar part. The rhythm guitar of "Haruhi Kage" was not difficult, although Aion still had some trouble keeping up with the rhythm and occasionally made mistakes. Even if the chords were pressed correctly, they would often produce muffled sounds and noises due to fingering problems.
But at least the song can still be played. After all, the rhythm guitar only has a small role. As long as Lenai can perform steadily, there will be no need to interrupt and start over.
There was nothing wrong with Deng's singing. Although the emotions didn't sound as intense as Qing remembered, I believe that as long as Xiangzi was in the audience during the live performance, Deng would be able to inject his full emotions into the song.
So what is Qing doing? At this moment, Qing is holding the camera given by Aine and recording the first practice session of AnonTokyo.
Although Qing doesn't have any sophisticated camera movements, he is quite skilled in using the camera. Do you understand the value of one person taking on a group project?
When the song ended, Deng was panting slightly because she had sung the entire song with all her strength. She turned around happily and wanted to celebrate the completion of the rehearsal with everyone, but before she could open her mouth, Li Xi's voice of criticism came first.
"No, absolutely no! The rhythm guitar is always played wrong, and the lead guitar occasionally doesn't follow the notes."
Li Xi hit the drum hard to attract everyone's attention, and then pointed out everyone's mistakes mercilessly.
Su Shi, who was not named, tried to smooth things over as usual: "Xiao Lixi, this is just the first run-in of the band, don't be so strict."
But Li Xi didn't appreciate it at all, and added the missing Su Shi: "You have also regressed a lot, and you are completely led by the drum."
"Eh? Is there such a thing?"
Su Shi could only fool around with a joke. The band had been disbanded for more than a year, and it was true that Su Shi had not practiced for a long time, and it was also true that his level had declined. On the other hand, Su Shi did not want to play "Spring Shadow" so seriously in this band.
Qing held up the camera and walked to Deng, who was a little frightened by Li Xi's ruthless comments, and asked softly: "Deng, do you have anything to say?"
Although Qing's voice was not loud, the rehearsal room was silent due to the low pressure, so everyone heard Qing's voice asking about Deng, and everyone turned their eyes to Qing and Deng.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, looking at the camera in Qing's hand, and feeling everyone's gaze, Deng said hesitantly: "Everyone, thank you for your hard work... I am really...really happy to be able to sing like this again and to form a band with you all again!"
As he spoke, Deng gradually changed from his original cautiousness to sincerity, and tried hard to express his feelings with words.
"lamp……"
Li looked at Deng, who was one of the few people who could express his emotions through words, and was stunned for a moment. This was something that Xiangzi had not been able to do when he was in Crychic, but now, with their witness, Deng had done it.
What Lixi didn't notice was that just after he criticized others for their shortcomings, Deng immediately said that he was happy to be with everyone. The effect was exactly the opposite of Lixi's, but it also made the low-pressure atmosphere a lot better.
"Needless to say, Deng Deng!"
Aiyin walked to Deng proudly and patted Deng on the back. Even though she had performed the worst just now, she always seemed the proudest at this moment, as if she had tried her best in the whole practice.
The camera lens faithfully captured everything that happened. Qing saw that his purpose of easing the atmosphere had been achieved, so he coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, and then said: "My filming will be more novel during the next performance. I hope that everyone can focus on the performance and not be distracted by my filming techniques. I need you to show your truest self when performing."
After hearing Qing's request, Aiyin patted her chest confidently and assured: "Don't worry, Qingqing, I will never let you down!"
Deng also encouraged himself: "I will try my best to cooperate!"
Li Xi sighed and said, "It would be nice if we could just not disturb our practice."
"Are you not going to start the next practice?"
Apparently, Le Nai hadn't played enough and urged everyone to move on to the next performance.
"..."
Only Su Shi felt that Qing seemed to have ill intentions when he made those requests. She thought Qing might do something big, but she was not sure and could not produce any evidence.
Qing found a good camera position, adjusted the lens, and then signaled everyone to start practicing.
Li Xi hit the drumstick a few times to create a rhythm, and then Le Nai's passionate guitar prelude came in. At this time, Su Shi, who had nothing to do for the time being, noticed Qing's strange camera movement.
I saw Qing suddenly pointed the camera at the floor, then turned it to Lenai's position, and walked towards Lenai with the camera. He stopped when he was only one body length away from Lenai. The camera was aimed at the Martin boots on Lenai's feet, and then the camera slowly moved up and stopped when it moved to the position of Lenai's guitar. Then I saw Qing constantly zooming in and out of Lenai's hands playing the guitar.
Godly gold! This was Su Shi's inner thought at this moment. She could already imagine what kind of divine camera movement Qing would produce. Even Ai Yin didn't notice this scene, because Ai Yin was nervously looking at the score at this moment. Only Su Shi noticed this scene, which made her feel a little desperate.
Due to the temporary distraction, Su Shi almost forgot that she was going to perform. If Qing hadn't suddenly pointed the camera at her, allowing her to quickly get into the performance state, Su Shi would have missed her performance. Even so, she was still a beat slow, and she could feel Li Xi's gaze staring at her.
What made Su Shi even more speechless was that when being filmed by Qing with such a strange camera movement, Le Nai didn't react at all. She just smiled and played the guitar. The same was true for the light.
After briefly aiming the camera at Su Shi, Qing immediately turned to Aine, as if aiming at Su Shi just now was to remind her not to be absent-minded. At the same time, Qing quickly walked to zoom in the camera until he came to the front of the lamp.
After a few arpeggios on Ain's rhythm guitar, Deng started singing the lyrics as the prelude ended. At the moment Deng started singing, Qing suddenly swung the camera that was aimed at Ain directly to Deng's face. Yes, it was right on her face, the legendary close-up shot.
It would have been fine if it was just shooting close to the face, but Qing actually zoomed in and out of the camera according to the rhythm of the music. And Deng didn't react at all to the close-up shooting and the drastic adjustment of the camera position, and just kept singing the song very attentively.
Then after filming in front of the light for a while, Qing walked to the drum set and pointed the camera at Lixi. At first, Lixi seemed to be unaware of Qing's filming and continued playing the drums normally.
Qing just walked to Lixi's side, squatted down and patted Lixi's drum from above, occasionally switching to Lixi's face. It was hard for Lixi not to notice Qing's weird shooting technique with such a close distance. Although Lixi tried hard to pretend not to pay attention to Qing's camera, the expression on his face became much more nervous.
Then Qing, not knowing whether it was intentional or not, slowly stood up to a half-squat position and put the camera on Li Xi's face. Su Shi had no doubt that Qing would have taken a close-up shot of Li Xi's face if there was no drum set in between her. Now with the drum set blocking her way, she was only taking a side shot of Li Xi, and by the way, she was also able to take a picture of the lights, Su Shi and Aine from a distance, which of course could not be taken when the face was close up.
Li Xi's expression was visibly unnatural, but as the rhythm gradually moved towards the chorus, Qing began to refocus the camera on the lead singer Deng, which made Li Xi feel relieved. Unexpectedly, Qing suddenly turned his head and captured the scene of Li Xi breathing a sigh of relief and looking at Qing in silence. Then, before Li Xi could adjust his expression, Qing backed up in front of Deng and refocused the camera on Deng without turning.
Then it was a close-up shot, zooming in and out again, and this time the high-pitched part of the light began to shake up and down. No, is this shot really good?
The chorus of "Haruhi Kage" was followed by the main song. At this time, Qing started to focus on Aine again, also cutting in from a very strange angle, and then shooting her face and stretching the camera forward and backward. The feeling Aine gave people was completely different from the previous ones.
Of course, Aiyin noticed Qing's funny camera movements. She looked at the camera and Qing behind the camera with an expression that she couldn't help laughing. Then she simply smiled sweetly at the camera. Her curved eyebrows conveyed a look of helplessness and a hint of doting, as if she could speak, as if she was saying "stop playing and shoot well".
If Aiyin hadn't cared about the fact that she played a few wrong notes while the camera was filming her, she would have gotten full marks for her generous and appropriate response.
Then after filming Aine's shots, Qing naturally walked to the position of the bassist, the only one who hadn't had a solo shot yet. Su Shi, who had been paying attention to Qing, felt his heart tighten and quickly pretended that he hadn't noticed the camera, while putting on a gentle smile.
But this time Qing actually walked directly behind Su Shi, then squatted down and slowly raised the camera from the position of Su Shi's skirt while circling around Su Shi. When it turned 1.5 circles, the camera was just aimed at Su Shi's chest. Unlike Da Lei, who was not a 16-year-old girl, when he appeared in the camera under Qing's previous circular mountaineering movement, it gave people a feeling of climbing a mountain with clouds cleared and the sun appeared, maximizing the shock.
Then Qing stopped circling and just stood in front of Su Shi. The camera briefly stayed here for two seconds, leaving the audience enough time to feel the aftertaste of reaching the summit.
Then the camera moved to Su Shi's face. This time it was just a simple face shot without any extra stretching movements. The reason was that Qing didn't look at the camera. Not only did he not look at the camera, he didn't even look at Su Shi. It was as if Qing had returned to the first time he met Su Shi and didn't dare to look at Su Shi's face. His eyes avoided Su Shi's face.
This made Su Shi's expression, which was already difficult to express, almost distorted. There were too many things she wanted to complain about. Moreover, Su Shi felt the malice of Qing when he was filming from beginning to end, as if he was not here to film the results of their practice, but to make a spoof video.
After that, Qing finally pulled a long shot that included all five people. The rest of the time was given to each person, but the main shot was still given to Deng. However, perhaps because of the first experience just now, everyone felt less unnatural when facing the camera again, of course, this mainly refers to Li Xi and Su Shi.
After the last rest was played, everyone fell into a brief silence when the performance ended. Then Aiyin, Su Shi, and Li Xi put down their instruments at the same time and walked towards Qing, who was still filming with a camera with a happy look on his face.
"What on earth did you shoot?"
Li Xi rushed over shouting in anger.
"Xiaoqing, can you let me see the results of your filming?"
This is Su Shi, who has a gentle smile, but inexplicably makes people feel eerie and oppressive, even stronger than Li Xi.
"Qingqing, show me the video! Does it show me a good look?"
This is Aine with a smile on her face. Compared with the two people before her, she is simply an angel.
