Chapter 62: The premiere is a success
Qi Qingnuo took Yang Jingxing and Yu Xinting into the small iron gate between the big iron gates, and there was a small courtyard inside, about 20 square meters, with some flowers and plants, and a large art sculpture, several rings and rings, colorful.
Behind the yard is the bar gate, which is quite atmospheric. The signboard is also, "Wash Brilliant" four big neon characters, which are quite brilliant in the hazy night.
Yang Jingxing and Yu Xinting followed Qi Qingnuo into the bar and found that the area of the bar was not small, estimated to be 100 square meters. The dΓ©cor and lighting of the bar are quite warm, and there is no metal rock 'n' roll vibe. The air conditioner was turned on and it was a little hot.
The bar was neither noisy nor quiet, and there were probably thirty or forty people. A few in front of the bar, a few more tables on the left, and a circle on the right. Facing the bar on the right is a small stage with a full range of equipment, guitars, drums, bass, keyboards, upright pianos, cellos......
Qi Qingnuo walked to the bar with Yang Jing, pointed to the people behind him and asked, "Do you know?"
Yang Jingxing asked, "Do I call me big brother or uncle?"
Zidawiha, who is much more mature than on the original poster or TV screen: "The rivers and lakes are senior, we have our own friends." "Qi Dawei is almost one meter eight tall, and he is not small, it is estimated that Qi Qingnuo is the genetic father. Zidawi really still has long hair, but it is tied up, and it is not visible in front of him.
Yang Jingxing stretched out his hand: "Brother David, hello, my name is Yang Jingxing...... This is Yu Xinting, we are friends with Qi Qingnuo. β
Qi Qingnuo hugged Yu Xinting and warned: "Don't take advantage of me!"
Yu Xinting smiled: "Hello, it's so beautiful here." β
Yang Jingxing smiled at a middle-aged woman walking over the bar again: "This is my sister-in-law, right?" β
The woman laughed: "Welcome, Qingnuo, take them to sit." Qi Qingnuo's mother looks a little older than Xiao Shuxia, but she is still dressed more exquisitely, and her figure is also well maintained.
Qi Qingnuo took Yang Jingxing to see Chen Xiaoqiang again. Chen Xiaoqiang was chatting with three men and one woman, the men were all about the same age, and the women looked like they were only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and their makeup was relatively thick.
Chen Xiaoqiang took care of Yang Jingxing, stood up and patted him on the shoulder and introduced: "Little brother, Yang Jingxing, and Nuo Nuo are classmates. β
Yang Jingxing knew each other one by one, they were all brothers, Brother Wang, Brother Kang, and Brother Xiao. Businessmen, shopkeepers, and writers! The woman seemed to be following Boss Wang.
A few people here got acquainted, and Chen Xiaoqiang took Yang Jingxing to the other side. Among these seven or eight people, there are two Yang Jingxing who know him, one is the drummer of the Chenghuang Band, and the other is a well-known music producer.
The producer's name is Gan Kaicheng, and he has been mixed for more than ten years, and he is quite a big name. However, Gan Kaicheng looks like he is less than forty years old, which is related to his thin figure and half-length hair, as well as his fashionable clothing. Gan Kai has made albums for many well-known singers, and of course has also released many good songs.
The average age of the group is estimated to be in their early thirties, and one of them has an editor who runs a fashion magazine. One is a young musician, and two are the resident musicians of the bar. And two of them are actually civil servants!
The warmest welcome to Yang Jingxing was the bar singing, a woman about thirty years old, stood up and pulled Yang Jingxing: "Little handsome guy, sit here! What are you drinking? β
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Xie Lu, Sister Xie Ran." β
Qi Qingnuo pressed Yu Xinting to sit down next to Yang Jingxing, and said, "I'll give it to you first, what do you drink?"
Yang Jingxing asked for beer, and Yu Xinting drank apple juice.
Sister Ran couldn't help but admire: "A pair of handsome guys and beauties, also from the Conservatory?"
Yang Jingxing said: "She is from the piano department. β
A civil servant wondered, "What is the minimum age in your school?"
"Most of them are high school graduates, and she looks relatively young, just turned 19 years old," Yang said. β
Sister Ran was envious: "Nineteen! looks like fourteen or fifteen." I'm only twenty, and I look like I'm thirty!"
Sister Ran's partner smiled: "Are you in your twenties?"
Yu Xinting sat in a proper manner, restrained and happy.
The young musician asked Yang Jingxing, "Did you learn to sing?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I am from the composition department." β
"Ready to be a singer?"
Yang Jingxing smiled embarrassedly: "I don't have this idea for the time being." β
Gan Kaicheng didn't have much of a fight, and smiled: "It's a pity that you are not a singer with this condition." β
Yang Jingxing said: "The conditions are much better than mine, I can't sing." β
Sister Ran still refuses to let go: "I'll sing a song with my sister later!"
The editor of the magazine said: "Yang Jingxing, the name is a little familiar, where has it been?"
Yang Jingxing said: "The name is popular. β
The editor slapped his thigh: "I remember, did you perform in the concert hall?"
Yang Jingxing was honored: "Yes, once. β
"And the New York Philharmonic?"
Yang Jingxing nodded.
The editor smiled: "At that time, our editorial wanted to interview you, but I didn't find it." β
The civil servant asked, "What are you doing with him in a fashion magazine?"
The editor laughed at himself: "Fashion is taste." β
Yang Jingxing said: "Fortunately, I didn't meet it, I didn't taste it." β
Gan Kaicheng took a sip of wine and said to Yang Jingxing: "I have heard about that...... It seems that it is a little unpleasant with Shen Wuchen?"
Yang Jingxing was surprised and embarrassed: "Ah, bad things spread thousands of miles." β
Yu Xinting opened her mouth and weakly stated the facts: "You can't blame him, it's that person who is not educated." β
Sister Ran seemed to have ignited the fire of justice, and asked urgently, "What's wrong?"
Yang Jingxing said: "A little contradiction has passed. β
Gan Kaicheng said: "I have seen this person, it may be that he left his parents and no one to teach him since he was a child...... A bit of personality. β
The others smiled in understanding.
Qi Qingnuo brought the beer and juice, and then sat down next to Yu Xinting. Gan Kai asked Qi Qingnuo: "The last time he cooperated with New Zealand, did you go?"
Qi Qingnuo regretted: "I don't have that honor." β
Yu Xinting explained: "They didn't know each other at that time. β
Qi Qingnuo said and asked Yang Jingxing: "When is the next time?" β
Yang Jingxing smiled: "No need to line up, I guess there won't be a next time." β
Gan Kaicheng wondered: "I heard that it is very good?
Qi Qingnuo asked Yang Jingxing: "Playing other people's things, don't you feel it?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I don't dare to play." β
Qi Qingnuo was angry: "You dare to play mine! β
Comrade civil servant asked: "Are you about to graduate?"
Qi Qingnuo showed off: "My junior brother, it's only a freshman, it's early." β
A group of people chatted, not only Yang Jingxing and Yu Xinting were newcomers, but the others were not particularly familiar with each other. Gan Kaicheng and the musician are old friends, and the musician and Sister Ran are good friends. The two civil servants and the editor are general friends, and the partner of the editor and Sister Ran is buddies...... Intricate interpersonal relationships.
Qi Qingnuo and Sister Ran are very close, Sister Ran wanted to tease Yang Jingxing, Qi Qingnuo also threatened: "I'll tell your husband! β
Yang Jingxing drank: "I am brave." β
Sister Ran smiled: "How shy are you?
Qi Qing Nuoha: "I've stayed with you for a long time, I want to neutralize it." β
The drummers of the City God Band belong to the taciturn type, and at the age of forty he still looks like a big boy. Qi Qingnuo introduced Yu Xinting to him, and also said that Nian Qing was his apprentice.
And Gan Kaicheng and David have been friends for many years, and he is still Qi Qingnuo's master. Qi Qingnuo told Yang Jingxing that the folk music version of "Contra" had received a lot of help from Gan Kaicheng. Of course, Yang Jingxing expressed his admiration.
There were a number of people in the bar, many younger, men and women in their early twenties. But it's not noisy, it's just a few people ordering a cup of something and sitting and chatting.
At eight o'clock, Sister Ran and his partner went to prepare and prepare to sing. Qi Qingnuo took Yu Xinting to the toilet, and after coming back, he introduced a few people to Yang Jingxing. Qi Qingnuo's mother also came over to take care of the new guests, and she was very polite to Yu Xinting.
Sister Ran received a lot of applause when she came to the stage. As soon as she started singing, people felt that those applause were sincere, because she really sang well. The singing voice is solid and powerful, and the accompaniment is a piano, but the expressiveness is not lost to the band. After a few pop songs, the sound in the bar became a little purer.
Then there was the surprise, Zidawi and the drummers took the stage, and fifty or sixty people in the bar shouted. Zidawi spoke first, but he didn't thank the fans or anything, but thanked the customers for their help all the time. Next, he invited Gan Kaicheng and the musician to perform for four people.
Hey, a lot of people have to be surprised, these are two representative figures in the 90s of the last century. Qi Qingnuo told Yang Jingxing that his father usually doesn't go in person, only once or twice a month, and there is no notice of advertising in advance, that is, he resolutely does not regard himself as a star anymore, and is purely entertaining himself. The occasional invited guests, including heavyweights and ordinary friends, just have fun.
Zidavi's guitar and drummer are still the same profession. The lead singer is Gan Kaicheng, and the musicians play the keyboard. A song written by Zidawi himself, not from the former City God Band. The style has also changed, the metallic smell is not so heavy, and it is a bit jazzy.
It's not very good, but the people who sing are very good, the guitar and drummer are very good, and the keyboardist is not bad, and it is free to listen to here, so the audience is not so picky, but they think it is quite tasteful.
Zidawi's typhoon has also changed, mature and steady, and the lyrics have also changed, a little vicissitudes, more beautiful.
From Yang Jingxing's point of view, the structure of this song is relatively simple, and the melody is slightly ordinary, but a few people on stage feel as if they are enjoying it very much. Especially Gan Kaicheng, who has made albums for so many singers, he himself is now more typhoon, and he is very involved in singing. The audience was as quiet and focused as watching a drama.
At the end of the song, the applause was really warm, and Qi Qingnuo whistled. The four of them had to come up with another song at the request of the audience, and then Zidavi said: "Now Qi Qingnuo will sing a song written by herself for everyone, welcome." β
Hey, Qi Qingnuo is not small, and the applause is even more enthusiastic. Qi Qingnuo came to the stage, and he looked more lively: "They are all old friends, so don't be polite...... Alas, many people have heard that song, so I'm tired of it. Today I would like to introduce two new friends to you, welcome Yu Xinting ......"
The smile on Yu Xinting's face was frightened, she couldn't move, and she was still pushed to stand up by Yang Jingxing. Looking at her cringe-cowering and blushing face, it was really in stark contrast to Qi Qingnuo. Still, the audience gave encouraging applause.
Qi Qingnuo continued: "And Yang Jingxing!"
Yang Jingxing stood up and nodded.
Qi Qingnuo introduced: "This is a work composed by Yang Jingxing, arranged by the three of us, and named by Yu Xinting, called "The Sun in the Rain", Xie Lu thank everyone...... Come up. β
Yu Xinting was anxious: "I'm nervous ......"
Yang Jingxing pushed: "I'm here." β
The keyboard here is a little different from Yang Jingxing's double-row keys, it is a workstation that has been issued for two years, and it may not be as good as Yang Jingxing's double-row keys in terms of function and timbre.
Yang Jingxing debugged for a while with the help of Qi Qingnuo and said that there was no problem. Qi Qingnuo went to ask Yu Xinting again, and comforted: "Don't worry, I won't kiss you here, he has no face." β
Yu Xinting, hey, look at Yang Jingxing. Yang Jingxing gave a thumbs up.
When Qi Qingnuo hung up the guitar, the two exchanged glances and began. "Sun in the Rain" has a very strong sense of theme, and as soon as the brass prelude comes out, people know what it wants to do. The expressive timbre and melody will immediately attract people who will like it.
Of course, if you want connoisseurs to analyze the shortcomings, it is that the ideology is not strong, the arrangement and composition are exaggerated, and the good melodies are superficial and not worthy of in-depth analysis.
But no matter what, it can't be denied that it's good. At the beginning, poor Tchaikovsky was not completely sprayed by many people on issues such as musical structure, but he was still the king of melody. It's good to hear, why be so old-fashioned and demanding.
The loud and magnificent brass played in unison and focused the audience's attention, and what Gan Kaicheng and Zidawei were talking about also stopped to look at Yang Jingxing. Even Qi Qingnuo's mother, who didn't seem to be interested in music, looked at the bar from the bar.
Hey, that's the benefits of popular music.
Qi Qingnuo is obviously more familiar with the whole piece than it was that day, and the guitar today is played very smoothly, several rhythms and melodic transitions are performed very well, and the typhoon is strong and powerful. Yu Xinting didn't feel nervous, she was playing all the points that should be played.
When the music reached its climax, everyone was stunned to look at the stage. In terms of action, Qi Qingnuo is still the most expressive, like when her father was young, she didn't know whether Lu Dao couldn't help it or did it deliberately. Do you have to half-squat or twist your waist to feel it? Yang Jingxing is still like a bird, serious and calm, with no expression. Yu Xinting is nervous and focused, as if she is practicing hard.
At the end of the song, Zidawi took the lead in applauding, and the others followed, applauding one after another. Yang Jingxing pulled Yu Xinting up, grabbed her shoulders and pushed her to the front to accept the applause. The girl was still embarrassed and wanted to hide behind Yang Jingxing, but was blocked by Qi Qingnuo.
Qi Qingnuo smiled brightly, showed his white front teeth, looked at Yang Jingxing and said loudly: "Congratulations, the premiere was successful!" There was still the smell of beer in the breath.
