Chapter 223: I Can't Sing

At everyone's instigation, Xiang Kun waved his hand and said: "I can't sing, I can't find a tune, if I'm in KTV, a bar or something, I can still yell a few words along that atmosphere, and now in this environment, I can't sing." ”

But Chang Bin immediately said: "Okay, okay, you can definitely do it! In the bar before, you didn't need a soundtrack, just sing a cappella, and now it's OK." ”

"Can a cappella be sung and the whole bar applauds? ”

Xiang Kun smiled: "I'm afraid that if I follow the soundtrack but don't roll the lyrics, I won't be able to." Hey, that's not right, I'll cook for you, and I'll sing to you after eating? No, uncles, it's your turn to show your little brother a talent, right!"

At this time, Yang Zhen'er took her mobile phone and turned the screen to Xiang Kun: "Look at Chef, I know that you are going to sing, Lao Xia has agreed to my video request, it's not easy!"

Xiang Kun looked at Yang Zhen'er's mobile phone, and sure enough, he saw Xia Libing on the mobile phone screen.

After glancing at Xiang Kun through the screen, Xia Li raised his right hand to greet him, but it looked like he was about to wave goodbye.

Xiang Kun really didn't want to sing, after all, he didn't have much talent for singing, and if he didn't use "emotional assimilation", it was basically impossible to make people feel good, and it would completely destroy his image in the minds of everyone.

The reason why he didn't simply refuse was that he wanted to continue the warm atmosphere that he had just created during the meal.

Although everyone is now full of expectations for listening to him sing, all kinds of encouragement, all kinds of agitation, but after a meal, the cognitive model he established for the other nine people has been further improved, especially Xie Peng, Linlin, Wang Han, Qin Ping, who have only met once or for the first time. So soon he had a plan to naturally divert everyone's expectations, let them focus on other things, and also let them not let their emotions down because their expectations were extinguished.

In the previous few sentences, Xiang Kun was walking according to the plan he envisioned, guiding everyone through dialogue, but when he saw Yang Zhen'er directly connecting with Lao Xia by video, he suddenly changed his mind.

Xiang Kun said: "That's it, the rest of you will sing first, drive the atmosphere, and I'll sing it when it's almost over, otherwise I'm a person who is easy to be shy, and I can't bear your attention!"

Chang Bin said with a smile: "If I still believed this when I was in college, who believes it now! Would a person who is easily shy run to the bar stage and sing by himself? And you didn't drink at that time!"

"Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, I am dizzy by the wine you drank. Xiang Kun replied.

"Then Nana will sing a song first, Nana sings the most stable, and in terms of singing skills, it should be the best among us. Speaking of soundtrack, Yang Lao ...... Third sister, didn't you learn guitar before? How many years have you been learning, you should be able to play a song or two, right? Xie Peng said to Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er.

Yang Zhen'er held her mobile phone to give Lao Xia a "live broadcast", and glared at Xie Peng: "What 'Yang Lao's third sister'? Lao Xie, you did it on purpose! If you call it wrong, I won't let you go!"

Saying that, Yang Zhen'er seemed to think of something, and said to Tang Baona: "Nana, you sing that song, that song 'fades into no way', you have been practicing the guitar for so long, you should be able to." If you hadn't made a video for Chef Xiang, wouldn't you have to make an audio of yourself playing and singing before?"

Tang Baona said with some twist: "I am not very familiar with the practice......

"Cooked, cooked!" Yang Zhen'er said, went to the room and took out a guitar, holding the guitar in one hand, and still holding the mobile phone that was "live" to Lao Xia in the other.

This guitar was actually bought by Yang Zhener to learn, but after buying it, she played with it a few times and threw it away before she could get started, until Tang Baona became interested, so she took it over and fiddled with it to give it a new life.

Tang Baona had actually learned it before, but she just got started and threw it away, but fortunately, she has a musical background, and she picks it up quickly, and she has also practiced a few songs in a few months.

After Yang Zhener brought the guitar over, seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, Tang Baona was not hypocritical, anyway, she actually liked to sing in front of everyone, and she used to go to KTV to play together, she was often Maiba, making everyone's jukebox.

Seeing Tang Baona get up from the sofa and take over the guitar tuning, Xiang Kun went to the dining room to move a chair, put it next to the TV in the living room and leaned against the side of the dining room, and said, "Nana, you sit here and sing." ”

Tang Baona smiled at him: "Thank you, but I'm taking the blame for you! You quickly think about what you want to sing! If you dare to lose it for a while, it hurts to see me with a big guitar?"

In the expectant eyes of the nine people in the living room, I don't know if it was because she was a little excited or shy after drinking, Tang Baona's cheeks were slightly red, she closed her eyes and prepared for a while, then plucked the strings and sang slowly:

"When the night gradually falls, it is pitch ...... all around"

Xiang Kun looked at Tang Baona intently, listening to the singing, and at the same time sensing a wood carving that was "injected with emotion".

The reason why he put the chair in that position was not only because Tang Baona was sitting there, and singing could be convenient for people sitting on the sofa and other places in the living room to listen, but also because the bag he brought was being placed over there, and there was a box in the bag, which contained Xiang Kun's "Christmas gift" to Tang Baona, which was a wood carving he made in a hurry before drinking blood, and carried out an "emotional injection" of "happiness". I hope to use this wood carving to guide Tang Baona to have some happy dreams, which can be regarded as a small thank you for her hard work in editing videos for herself - Xiang Kun got feedback from Little Apple knows that having this kind of "happy" dream has a positive effect on the mood and state after waking up.

If the "emotionally injected" item is in direct contact with other people's limbs, or if it is close enough, Xiang Kun can sense the other person's emotions when he senses them.

However, this wood carving is now in a box, and it is separated by a bag, and it is not close to the other party, if it is someone else, there is a high probability that the other party's emotions will not be sensed. But Tang Baona is different, Xiang Kun can now basically judge her emotional changes just by relying on the cognitive model she has established, in this case, as long as she is within half a meter of the item that Xiang Kun has established "emotional injection", her emotions can be perceived by Xiang Kun - this is a situation that has been confirmed many times before.

And the reason why Xiang Kun wants to do this is to prepare for an experiment of "emotional assimilation".

Relying on the emotional perception established by the wood carvings on the side of the chair, relying on the already comprehensive cognitive model, and Tang Baona's singing voice is indeed very infectious, Xiang Kun successfully immersed himself in the same emotions as her before she entered the chorus.

β€œ...... I was like a dragonfly walking in the water and couldn't find my way back......"

Under the influence of Xiang Kun's "emotional assimilation", not only him, but the other eight people in the living room were all pulled into the same mood.

Xiang Kun seems to see himself as a little elf, with a pair of wings, shuttling around the dimly lit forest, with a feeling of lonely travel and exploring the unknown. This sense of loneliness is not the feeling of coldness, helplessness, grievance and pity, but rather a kind of chic and casual and unrestrained freedom.

The picture that everyone sees in their own minds is different, but the perception brought by emotions is the same.

After singing a song, Tang Baona was a little surprised when she saw the expressions of everyone in the living room.

Xiang Kun was the first to get out of his mood, he quickly observed the state of other people, looked at Xia Libing's expression on Yang Zhen'er's mobile phone, and quickly sensed the lyrics given to Xia Libing, and then applauded lightly and exclaimed: "It's so good to sing!"

"Nana, awesome!" Yang Zhen'er clenched her fists and praised, but then she couldn't help frowning and said: "But I don't know why, when I listen to the song, I always can't help but imagine that Chef has a pair of big wings, carrying the bow we gave him, and then staring over a forest, ready to hunt at any time, I don't know if I have seen too much of the PS picture of Chef carrying a bow and arrow before......"

"Yes, I also feel that way, I always feel that this song is like Nana sang to Xiang Kun, as if she was singing in a castle, standing by the window, watching Xiang Kun turn into a big butterfly and fly far into the night sky. Tang Baoting also said with a smile.

Gao Yao shook his head and whispered: "Flying away from the castle, it should be a bat, not a butterfly." ”

Xie Peng also smiled: "Butterfly and bat? How can you tell it's Xiang Kun, can you still tell it's bald? But don't say it, this song does match the previous photo of Xiang Chef carrying a bow and arrow on the Internet and shuttling through the crowd, listening to Nana sing for a while, I thought of that photo." ”

Not only a few of them listened to the song, but even Tang Baona, at the beginning, her emotional carrying goal was herself, but singing and singing, just like others said, the "protagonist" of the song, the emotional carrying object, seems to have become Xiang Kun?

Could it be that this song is really particularly suitable for Xiang Kun?

Tang Baona couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

After getting rid of emotions, Xiang Kun, who has been observing everyone and updating their cognitive model data, naturally knows their situation.

Of course, it's not that this song is suitable for him, but in the process of "emotional assimilation", after perceiving Tang Baona's emotions when singing, he immersed himself in this emotion and transformed this emotion into his own, so after he substituted Tang Baona's emotion, this emotional carrying point naturally became himself.

In this way, the emotions that other people perceive when listening to the song are not directly from Tang Baona, but the "second-hand emotions" that Xiang Kun has turned his hand to.

Not only that, after transforming Tang Baona's emotions into her own, Xiang Kun also affected Tang Baona's emotions in turn - her singing emotions were consistent, but the goal of her emotions also became Xiang Kun.

This can also prove that whether it is perceived through "emotion-injected" objects or other means, other people's emotions, as long as Xiang Kun can truly substitute and immerse himself in them, he can transform them into his own emotions and influence others through the transformed emotions.

After getting out of his emotions, Xiang Kun also tried to sense the lyrics for the first time, wanting to see if he could sense Xia Libing's emotions, but unfortunately there was still no reaction. And through the video screen in Yang Zhener's hand, it can't be seen that Xia Libing has been affected in the slightest. It can be seen that this "emotional assimilation" cannot be effected through real-time video, at least for Xia Libing.

After a lot of laughter, a group of people began to encourage Xiang Kun to sing again.

"Xiang Kun, sing the song you sang at the bar, it must be a reason why the whole bar applauded. Tang Baoting said curiously.

Xie Peng said with a smile: "You can sing whichever song you want, and you can sing "People Like Me" that I sang on KTV last time!"

Linlin said: "Or Mao Buyi's "Dispel Sorrow"?"

"Don't β€”β€” don't be worried! Any song is fine!" Yang Zhen'er immediately exclaimed, she still clearly remembered the fear of being dominated by Xiang Kun's song "Eliminate Sorrow" when she played cards for the first time.

"Hey, if you say that, then I'm still going to get rid of my sorrows, so I'll sing to eliminate my sorrows!" Xiang Kun said deliberately.

Yang Zhen'er stared at him for a while, then lowered her head and said to Xia Libing on her phone: "Sister, I can't support it later, but I will throw you down and run first, if you can't stand it, you should cut off the video, don't hold on......"

Tang Baona smiled and patted her: "It's not so exaggerated!"

Xiang Kun didn't sing "Dispel Sorrow" again, although he believed that if he sang it again now, it would definitely not be as tragic as it was at the beginning.

He took the initiative to discuss it with Tang Baona and picked one of the few songs she could play.

Xiang Kun chose Wu Bai's "Reunion Again", Tang Baona's expression was a little nervous, and her eyes were staring at her strings, because compared to the song just now, she had practiced this song before, and she was not too familiar with it.

However, when Xiang Kun took a banana to disguise the microphone and started singing, Tang Baona was not nervous, but followed the others while laughing and sweeping the strings, because she knew that everyone would not pay attention to whether she was playing accurately or not, and their attention was on Xiang Kun.

Xiang Kun didn't sing very well, and he didn't let everyone who heard the song immerse himself in the same emotions as him when he sang "People Like Me" and "Big Husband" beforeβ€”he was careful not to let himself get into the mood, so as not to have "emotional assimilation" again.

But before Xiang Kun decided to sing "Meet Again", he quickly established a cognitive model for this song in his mind.

Yes, not only people and objects, a sound, a picture, a memory, an event, as long as there is sensory information, it can be used to build a cognitive model.

It's as if when he is cooking, he can build a cognitive model for each dish - that is, the mode of sensory vision, the mode of abstract logic, the pattern of data algorithms, and the combination and synthesis of various other structural patterns, on this model, it is very simple to derive various methods to solve problems in the most efficient way.

It's like this song "Meet Again", through the memory of Wu Bai's singing, the audio and MV of this song, and Xiang Kun's own fragmentary music knowledge, after establishing an imperfect cognitive model, he immediately knew how to best interpret this song with his current voice conditions - that is, imitation.

So Xiang Kun is basically imitating the process of Wu Bai singing this song in his memory, the voice and rhythm are very close to imitating, and the characteristics of the original singing voice are sung.

In the eyes of Chang Bin, Wang Han, Tang Baoting and others, the more similar Xiang Kun's imitation, the more joyful he is - because the greater the contrast with the usual him.

Especially Yang Zhen'er, who laughed so much that the mobile phone in his hand trembled all the time, and Xia Libing on the other side of the picture frowned, and his head couldn't help but tilt his head to the side with the phone.

After Xiang Kun finished singing, Xie Peng immediately said: "Chef Xiang, you Wu Bai has a level of imitation, you can go to that celebrity imitation show! The pitch feels much better than the last time I sang "People Like Me", and the breath is more stable, but the emotional comparison is not as good as the last time." In fact, if you don't imitate Wu Bai's voice, it may be much better to sing in your own voice......"

Lin Lin interrupted with a smile: "Do you think you are a judge of the talent show? You are also a game drawing! You may not be able to sing as well as Chef Xiang!"

Xiang Kun immediately said: "I don't believe this, but I heard Nana say that Brother Xie sang with you at the middle school party back then! Come on, come on, it's your time to perform!" he said, shoving the banana that served as a microphone in his hand into Xie Peng's hand.

Next, under the deliberate guidance of Xiang Kun, everyone "performed" a "talent", the atmosphere was quite warm, everyone couldn't shirk it, and naturally no one continued to let him sing. However, when Chang Bin was forced to be helpless, he still pulled Xiang Kun up to him as a compliment, and told a cross talk joke about Yue Yunpeng.

Wang Han, Linlin and Xie Peng all sang well, and even Gao Yao could play a little beatbox. But the most surprising thing is that Yang Zhener's classmate Qin Ping, spoons, chopsticks, bowls, and water cups knocked on the song "Sea and Sky", although it is intermittent, but the experience is really special.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Xiang Kun made two new dishes and heated up a little leftovers, so that everyone could eat supper.

While chatting, Qin Ping mentioned that she now has offers from two companies, and she doesn't know how to choose.

Xiang Kun naturally won't put forward any opinions on this kind of problem, just listen to other people's analysis, after all, the workplace situation in different fields is different.

However, when he heard that one of the companies that offered Qin Ping an offer was "Shenxing Technology", Xiang Kun was suddenly interested.
