Chapter 268: Allen introduced the interview location and cleverly arranged the interview

"Who is Alan? What bar? Can I go?" Lin Pin'er immediately got the message in her words and quickly organized her words to ask three soul-searching questions.

"..."Amara still decided to take Lin Pin'er to find Allen. She was afraid that she couldn't explain it clearly and would have to ask Allen in the end.

It turns out that the Allen that Amara was talking about was the black girl who played the saxophone that Lin Pin'er often watched them rehearse in the rehearsal room.

"Nice to meet you!" Lin Pin'er extended her hand to Allen, and then she received a big hug.

"I remember you. You often came to watch our rehearsals and always encouraged us." Allen was obviously an enthusiastic girl.

"I like your saxophone performance, and I like your cooperation. I think your cooperation is simply perfect..." Lin Pin'er tried hard to search her brain for all the words she had learned to praise people.

"By the way, he is Rio." Allen introduced Lin Pin'er's boyfriend. Rio was a shy boy. He just nodded to Lin Pin'er and had no intention of joining their conversation.

Amara immediately got back to the point: "We want to attend the interview for that bar together. You can tell Moly what we need to pay attention to."

Allen said seriously, "It's a place my mentor recommended for internship. It's a relatively safe performance venue. Their requirements are that you need to perform jazz, be able to adapt to the rehearsals arranged by the bar, and not be allergic to dust or smoke because it's not a non-smoking place. And you need to prepare a formal dress."

Lin Pin'er thought about it and felt that this should be the most suitable job she could find at the moment, but she first had to get the work application approved by her teacher.

*

The interview was scheduled for Saturday afternoon, and the school was already on vacation. You Kunling had originally planned to move in with Lin Pin'er, but when she learned that Li Shuirong had come, she had to give up this plan.

The bar is located in Midtown Manhattan. The interior has red sofas and white dining tables. Although it is called a bar, it actually also serves dinner and coffee.

The entire wall behind the sofa is covered with cartoon heads of musicians playing various musical instruments, creating a relaxed and lovely atmosphere inside.

They were greeted by the bar manager, a woman who looked about the same age as Wang Xifeng, with long wavy red hair, wearing a suit jacket with suit shorts, and looking elegant and capable.

She led the musicians who came for the interview to sit near the stage, which was scallop-shaped and used a corner of the wall. The stage was quite large, but it was already filled with pianos, cellos, and drums, leaving the guitarists and singers with rather limited space.

Luna got straight to the point: "I've read your information. Currently, you can only perform some pure music performances when guests are dining. But we intend to train another band. You should know that we originally had a band, but they couldn't perform for two hours without interruption, so we will train another band to share a piece of the pie. Ellen recommended you to come here to see if you can form a band with her, but you don't have much time left. I need you to go on stage on Monday. If not, I will invite another mature band to come, so you may face the possibility of being eliminated at any time."

After hearing Luna's words, everyone immediately felt a sense of crisis. Lin Pin'er realized that this was not the capital, and without Li Shuirong's help, she would not have those special cares, and the cruel reality was suddenly in front of her.

Seeing that what she said just now had shocked the new kids, Luna said in a gentle tone: "But you don't have to worry, as long as you perform for one day we will pay you, we have no precedent of delaying salary here.

By the way, we require musicians to wear formal attire for performance. Men should wear a suit, which can be a shirt and vest, but they must be matching, after all, the weather will be hot soon.

Ladies must wear evening gowns. Try not to choose bright or strange colors. They must match the lighting atmosphere of the bar. The guests of our bar are all gentlemen and ladies. Please pay attention to your words and deeds and be as elegant as possible. "

Then he took out a stack of printed music scores and distributed them to everyone, and asked them to discuss the parts they would perform in the interview for a while.

Amara was a little frustrated. She studied music performance. Although she could play piano and guitar, she was not good enough for performance. Today's interview was about playing instrumental music, which disrupted her plan to sing.

Lin Pin'er was flipping through the music carefully. She was glad that Professor Yue had caught her and Shui Rong's piano playing very early on, and that the most basic requirement for students at the Central Conservatory of Music was piano playing. Shui Rong also taught her guitar, and with the influence of her musician friends in Beijing, she could now play all kinds of instruments.

Soon Amara whispered to Lin Pin'er for help: "What should I do? My guitar performance is not up to par at all."

Lin Pin'er comforted her: "You performed very well at the party that day, be more confident. And you can tell her that your specialty is singing."

Luna had already started calling people up for interviews: the first person to go up was a guy in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses. Lin Pin'er had some impression of him, as he was the elite guy that Lin Pin'er had met in her music history class.

At this moment, he was standing elegantly on the side of the stage, playing the flute.

Luna sent a guitarist from the bar to accompany the party. The elite man stunned everyone when he started playing. He gave everyone the impression of being meticulous and dull, but he was surprisingly lively when he played the flute. He kept changing the notes, changing the notes, and changing the notes again. At this moment, his whole person became lively, and the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses began to shine with a strange light. People always shine in the areas they are good at.

It was Lin Pin'er's turn to go on stage for the interview. She cleverly asked if she could cooperate with her good friend. Luna nodded in agreement. The two little girls ran onto the stage happily. Their plan was successful. Lin Pin'er played the piano and Amara played the guitar. The two tried to cooperate well and pass the interview together.

The song they chose to play was: "City of stars". The playful and jumping piano sound started, and the guitar was just helping to provide background music. They worked in perfect harmony.

Lin Pin'er deliberately raised her hands to the rhythm, like a cat's paw playing on the piano keys. Amara cooperated with her by holding the guitar upright, leaning her neck and upper body back, and also playing the chords with her cat-paw-shaped fingers.

When it came to the improvisation part, Amara leaned in front of the microphone, purred out the melody with her mouth, and kept changing the pitch, dancing along with the two people's piano sounds, which had a unique charm.
