"Yang, how do you want to play?" several musicians also asked Xiao Yaodao, "Do you have an idea?"

"First of all, it's the change in pace and speed. Xiao Yao turned his head to look at several musicians.

"The change in pace and tempo is a good idea. Several musicians nodded their heads and said, "But how, where?"

"My idea is," Xiao Yao said, "the first main song and chorus remain the same, starting with the second main song, we speed up the performance, and at the beginning of the third main song, we slow down and become even slower than the original." The third verse is relatively short, so it doesn't take long after this section is slowed down. Starting with the prep chorus, we revved up again, I think it was better to be faster than the second stanza, and then back to the original tempo for the final chorus. ”

"Fast, slow, fast, it doesn't sound very complicated. The drummer nodded and asked, "But how fast and how slow?"

"When we practiced just now, the speed was about 96 beats per minute," Xiao Yao thought for a moment and said, "I want to speed up by a third in the second stage, becoming about 128 beats a minute." In the third stage, the deceleration and acceleration are reduced by half and accelerated by half to 48 beats per minute and 144 beats per minute, respectively. Let's try the effect first, okay?"

"No problem!" said several musicians.

There are no metronomes on the scene, but everyone is an experienced professional musician, and they have a good sense and grasp of the speed of the music. 96 beats per minute is a more common medium tempo in the music, and there is no problem with the speed when you practiced before, and it is not too difficult for you to increase or decrease one-third and one-half on this basis, as long as it is unified in advance.

"Wait," interjected Cordy Scott, "Young, you just said first?

"For the rest, I improvise when I'm ready to practice, so I don't have any demands on the musicians in the band. When Xiao Yao said this, he suddenly said, "By the way, the chorus part, please help sing the harmony together." ”

"Okay, no problem!" laughed at several of the musicians.

Xiao Yao's scores for several musicians only have the melody of the song and no lyrics. But the chorus part that Xiao Yao marked on the tune has only one line of lyrics, the first two times are repeated twice, and the last time is repeated four times. The musicians have heard Xiao Yao sing three times, and even if they can't remember the lyrics of the whole song, they still remember a sentence of the lyrics of this chorus.

After the discussion, the rehearsal continued.

According to the agreement, there is no change in the prelude and the main song of the first paragraph. In the first two lines of the chorus, several musicians opened their mouths to sing with Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao didn't have any "moths" at this time, and sang with the musicians very routinely.

By the time it came to the second main song, all the musicians obviously accelerated the speed of their performances, and Xiao Yao's singing speed naturally accelerated.

From here, the tempo of the whole song accelerates, and the whole gives people a different feeling, and Xiao Yao also begins to give people a different feeling. The change in Xiao Yao's singing is not only the speed of speed, but also the addition of improvisation. For example, at the end of the first sentence of the second main song, when Xiao Yao sang "ontheradio", he suddenly snapped his tongue.

As soon as this strange voice came out, everyone showed a very surprised expression. However, everyone was very professional, and although the musicians all smiled in surprise, their hands did not stop, and there were no pauses or mistakes in the accompaniment of the instruments. Although Coardy Scott, who was watching from the sidelines, pointed at Xiao Yao in surprise and amusement, he did not laugh out loud to interfere with everyone's rehearsal.

Xiao Yao's improvisation is not only the tongue playing in this place, but in the second chorus, the band members sing harmony with him, and Xiao Yao adds some humming that he doesn't understand what the lyrics are at all and has no actual meaning in the middle of the two sentences.

These hummings without actual lyrics made Cordy Scott and those musicians more recognize Xiao Yao's current state of improvisation, which made their perception of Xiao Yao improve again.

"It's great, it's fun!" said Kordy Scott, who was watching from the sidelines, "Young, you're unbelievable!"

"Cordy, I like this guy!" the electric guitarist laughed and shouted to Kordy Scott.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao smiled at the guitarist, "but here I am!

"Ha~" Xiao Yao's ridicule caused laughter at the scene.

The laughter continued, the door to the rehearsal room was pushed open, and a female voice rang out, "What did I miss?"

Everyone turned their heads to see Nicky Thompson walking in. Behind her, in addition to her agent, Amy Hatton, was the staff member named Vinson.

"Nicky, is your rehearsal complete?" asked Cordy Scott.

"Yes!" Nicky Thompson nodded, "It's okay after the rehearsal, come and see how you're doing." ”

"Seems to be going well?" asked Nicky Thompson.

"It's better than going well!" laughed Cordy Scott, "Jan is really talented." His new song is very good, I practiced it a few times just now, and there is no big problem with it. What's even better is that he's done some special changes and designs for the live performance for the stage, which feels great and fun. I'm sure he should have no problem winning this opportunity. ”

"Really?" Nicky Thompson was happy at first, then smiled a little, and looked at Xiao Yao with a smile, "I remember that someone was invited by Amy to be my stage director, but I didn't expect to be a guest performer." If he doesn't help, I won't say it, and I want someone else to help him with a musical instrument!"

"Friendly reminder," Xiao Yao smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't me who proposed to let me replace Hopson as a guest performer! It was you and Cordy who proposed to Mr. Green that I be a guest performer, and I agreed to fight for it, and I didn't embarrass you in front of Mr. Green, didn't I help you?"

"By the way," Xiao Yao added, "you were the first to suggest to Mr. Green that I be a guest performer! Cordy just expressed to Mr. Green that he agreed with your suggestion, and it was after you that he said it." Now it's Cordy who is playing the musician and the instrument to help me, but you're doing nothing!"

"Ha~" Cordy laughed, "Jan has a point!"

"Hey, Cordy, who the hell are you helping?" said Nicky Thompson with a displeased glare at Cordie Scott.

"Help, of course!" said Cordy Scott, of course, "why should I help you?"

"All right, Nicky," said Amy Hatton, "you can't say anything about it, and you're not without a loss!"

"Alright, I'll help you!" Nicky Thompson said to Xiao Yao, "all you need now is musicians." I was in rehearsal, and I couldn't lend you the musicians. Now that I'm done rehearsing, I can lend you the musicians. I'm going to get my musicians over now and replace Cordy's musicians. When you get on stage later, let my musicians accompany you!"

"Hey, Nicky, what are you doing?" said Cordy Scott, "they're all pretty much as good as Young!"

"It's okay, you can practice again!" said Nicky Thompson, "Young has a point, I proposed to David that Jan be a guest performer, but I didn't help him, I'm sorry, so I'm going to help him! Now there is still more than an hour before the time David said, and it is too late to practice again!"

"Nicky, don't mess around!" said Amy Hatton.

"Jan, what do you say?" said Nicky Thompson, looking at Xiao Yao.

"Thank you for providing me with musicians. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "Many musicians use their own instruments, and this place has been arranged, and it is troublesome to change them, why don't you find the organizer to find another rehearsal room?" In addition, I heard that your performance has harmony singers, can you also call harmony singers and ask them to rehearse with me?"

"Jan, what are you doing?" said Cordy Scott, surprised, "Are you really going to change musicians?"

"Heh~" Xiao Yao smiled, turned his head to those musicians and said, "Hard everyone, please continue to practice this song, and when you come to the stage in a while, I still have to ask you to help accompany me!"

"Do you want us to accompani?" several musicians wondered, "so do you want to change musicians?"

Several musicians were having a good time rehearsing with Xiao Yao, but after listening to Xiao Yao's words about Nicky Thompson asking for musicians, these people's faces were not very good-looking. Originally, everyone worked hard to accompany you in line for half an hour, but you said that you were going to be replaced? But now after listening to Xiao Yao's words, everyone really doesn't understand what Xiao Yao means.

Cordie Scott, Nicky Thompson, and Amy Hatton also looked at each other, feeling confused, and didn't know what Xiao Yao meant. Eventually, it was Cordy Scott who asked, "Jan, what do you mean by that? Do you change musicians or not?"

"Why change?" said Xiao Yao.

"If you don't, why did you ask Nicky to gather musicians and backing vocals to find a rehearsal space?" asked Cordy Scott.

"Because I decided to work with two groups of musicians to prepare two performance pieces. Xiao Yao said, "Since Nicky wants to provide me with musicians, I don't want to live up to her kindness, so I will prepare one more song." Your musicians will help me play "The Remedy", and Nicky's musicians and backing vocals will help me play and sing another song before the time comes. Also, both of these songs are my work, and the musicians are relatively unfamiliar, but I am familiar with them, and I don't need to spend as much time practicing as them. That way, when I go to prepare for the second song, I can use this time to continue practicing familiarity. ”

"You're going to prepare two shows?" said Cordy Scott and Nicky Thompson in unison.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao said, "Mr. Green didn't say that I can only perform one song, right? Of course, tomorrow night's awards ceremony will definitely only be able to perform one song, but tonight is my competition with that Korean group, no one stipulates that only one song can be sung, I can prepare two performances for Mr. Green to choose! Don't you think that in this way I will have a better chance of winning?"

"This~" Everyone looked at Xiao Yao speechlessly.

"Nicky, what do you say?" said Xiao Yao to Nicky Thompson this time.

Nicky Thompson gritted his teeth, turned to Vinson and Amy Hatton, and said, "Vinson, please help us find another place to rehearse, Amy, you go talk to the musicians and the vocalists." ”

"I don't need all the musicians to come, the musicians I need are..."Xiao Yao told Amy Hatton about the musician configuration requirements he needed, and finally said, "I personally need an acoustic guitar." ”

"Okay, no problem!" said Amy Hatton, gesturing.

In this situation, Amy Hatton can't say that Nicky Thompson is messing around, so he can only cooperate with them.

"Do you want to play your own guitar for the second song?" asked Cordy Scott with a laugh.

"Of course!" Xiao Yao helped the acoustic guitar he was holding in his arms.

Nicky Thompson saw Xiao Yao holding the guitar in his hand, remembered that he had asked him to be a guitarist, and said, "Young, I haven't heard what the song you rehearsed with Coldey's band looks like." My band's rehearsal room has some time to prepare, can you do it again now? ”

"Yes, yes, but I think I need to do something else first. Xiao Yao said.

"What else are you going to do?" said Cordy Scott.

"The score!" Xiao Yao said, "I was rehearsing a new song with Nicky's band that had not been released before, and the musicians must not know about it." I'm going to write the song first, and I'm going to use it for the musicians to rehearse and play. I don't know how long it will take them to prepare the rehearsal room, but I think it's better to write it out first, so that even if we don't finish the rehearsals here, they can take a look at it in advance and familiarize themselves with it first, so they don't have to sit and wait. ”

"Save time!" Cordy Scott nodded, waving to his assistant again.

The assistant immediately handed Xiao Yao the pen and paper again. Xiao Yao still used the back of the guitar as a desktop and buried himself in writing.

"It's called Lucky?" asked Cordy Scott when he saw Xiao Yao write his name at the top of the score.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "This song has something to do with myself!"

"Oh?" said Cordy Scott, "it's you?"

"Yes," Xiao Yao said, "I came to the United States for a travel vacation, and it was not in my plan to come here tonight." Wasn't I lucky that Hopson had an accident and I was a candidate for the show?"

"But you didn't really want to be a guest performer at this awards ceremony. Nicky Thompson said.

"Hah!" Xiao Yao smiled.

"Jan," said Cordy Scott, "this time, can you write the lyrics and let me see what the lyrics look like?"

Xiao Yao refused to be his backup singer and guitarist, and he agreed with Nicky Thompson's words, feeling that Xiao Yao didn't really care about the identity of the Billboard Awards, and later promised that David Green should be related to those Koreans. He wanted to see from the lyrics what kind of relationship this song had with Xiao Yao.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "But we have to wait until the end." ”

Xiao Yao wrote several scores, made easy to play on the scores for musicians of special instruments such as drums and bass, and finally wrote the lyrics on one of the scores.

Cordy Scott had been standing beside Xiao Yao, bowing his head and bending down to watch him write. When Xiao Yao wrote the lyrics of "boyihearyou", Cordy Scott couldn't help but ask curiously: "You wrote this song for female singers?"

"Really?" Hearing Cordy Scott's words, Nicky Thompson, who was still standing a little reserved, couldn't help but come over.

"Heh," Xiao Yao smiled, "You'll know when you hear it!"
