"You guys~" David Green looked at John Lee and the group of BTBS on the side.

"We have backing music, we don't need a live band. "We'll find a place to practice and prepare in this hotel, so I don't need to bother you." Just wait for everyone else to let us know when their rehearsal is over!"

Although John Lee was annoyed that what he thought was going to be a game with Xiao Yao had suddenly turned into a competition, David Green had already made his attitude clear, and Xiao Yao had agreed to compete with his stage performance, and he had no other way at this time but to let the seven people of BTBS prepare to compete with Xiao Yao.

But then again, BTBS had prepared the stage performance in advance and rehearsed it in advance, and he didn't believe that Xiao Yao could have expected this kind of thing to happen, so he should have been unprepared. With less than two hours to spare, he didn't believe that Xiao Yao's stage performance in such a short period of time would be more exciting than BTBS, but he was not afraid to let BTBS compare with Xiao Yao.

"Alright," David Green nodded, waving over a young man, "Vincent, you help Jan find a place to rehearse!"

"Coldey," David Green looked at Coldie Scott again.

"Ok, my man, I'll go and say!" said Cordy Scott with a wave of his hand. He knew that David Green meant to tell him to inform his musicians.

"Jan, what instruments and musicians do you need?" said Cordy Scott, turning his head to Xiao Yao.

"I don't know!" Xiao Yao said, "Why don't you let your people and instruments go, and we'll discuss which instruments to use while practicing." ”

"Alright," laughed Cordy Scott, "I'll go and see how you do it!"

"Please find a place with good sound insulation and more space. Cordie Scott said to the young man David Green had called.

"Okay, I'll go and talk to the hotel. The young man said.

"You're going to have to wait a while before you can start, right?" Tim Haggis suddenly got up and took Xiao Yao's arm and said, "Young, can I talk to you alone?"

"Okay!" Xiao Yao gestured to Cordy Scott and walked with Tim Haggis to a corner away from the crowd.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yao asked.

"You go to rehearsals, I can't help you. Tim Haggis said, "Although you said that you invited me to LV to be your bodyguard, in fact, you are not in danger, at least not here tonight, right?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"So, I want to leave now to do something. Tim Haggis said.

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"Don't you think those Koreans are acting weird?" asked Tim Haggis, "and I feel like they know something is going to happen to Hopson." ”

"You want to investigate Hopson's food poisoning?" Xiao Yao said, "Do you suspect that they or they instructed someone to do it?"

"Isn't it doubtful?" said Tim Haggis.

"You don't want to help me in this way, do you?" Xiao Yao smiled, "This kind of thing is very bad, and if it spreads, the consequences will be very serious." If they really instructed someone to do it, there should be no obvious clues or evidence. I'm not saying you can't find out, but I don't think you can find out in two days. Two days later, the awards ceremony was over. ”

"No, no, no," Tim Haggis said, shaking his head, "I'm not worried that you're going to be better than those Koreans." I was just curious and skeptical. You know, I'm an FBI agent, and curiosity about cases is my profession. ”

"Okay, then you can go and investigate," Xiao Yao smiled, "I won't delay you from using your detective enthusiasm." ”

Tim Haggis left, and Xiao Yao returned to Cordy Scott.

"Tim had left beforehand. Xiao Yao explained simply.

"Oh," Cordy Scott nodded noncommittally and said to Xiao Yao, "come with me, let's go meet my musicians first." ”

The band's musicians have a dedicated lounge. After Cordy Scott's rehearsal, he jumped off the stage and went to the audience to chat with Xiao Yao, while the musicians packed up their instruments and went back to the lounge.

"Thank you very much!" Xiao Yao said to Cordy Scott.

Cordy Scott took Xiao Yao to the musicians' lounge, introduced Xiao Yao and the musicians to each other, and explained that he wanted to ask them to accompany Xiao Yao and prepare for a performance. These musicians have also heard Jan Shaw's name and his songs, and they are not averse to working with Xiao Yao, and naturally have no opinion on the decision that Cordy Scott helped them make.

Xiao Yao expressed his gratitude to the musicians, greeted them one by one, and the young man named Vincent came to the musicians' lounge with some staff.

Vincent had already put them in touch with a rehearsal place. The rehearsal room he found was a VIP lounge in the hotel with better soundproofing, and it was large enough to fit the entire band.

Xiao Yao is a candidate for substitute performers, and rehearsals are actually the organizer's business, so this moving instruments and setting up the rehearsal room is also the organizer's business, and it is not just for the musicians of Cordy Scott to do it themselves. The people he brought were here to help the musicians carry their instruments, and as for some of the speakers and other equipment they needed, they arranged for someone to move them there.

Although Xiao Yao is a candidate performer, he does not have the shelf of a big-name star, and when he helped with the instrument, Xiao Yao also went up to take a hand.

There was a lot of strength in the crowd, so we moved all the instruments to the lounge that was used as a rehearsal room, and then the preparations for the placement of instruments and equipment, the connection and adjustment of equipment, and the tuning of instruments were quickly completed.

"Young, what kind of new song are you going to sing?" After the preparations were ready, Cordy Scott picked up an acoustic guitar and handed it to Xiao Yao, "You play and sing it yourself, let's listen to the basic melody and lyrics first." ”

"This~" Xiao Yao took the acoustic guitar, but he didn't play it, and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I haven't thought about it yet!"

"What?" said Cordy Scott, surprised, "didn't you say you're going to sing a new song that hasn't been released yet?

"Of course not!" Xiao Yao found a chair and sat down, held the guitar in his arms, propped his elbows on the guitar, and pressed his two fingers on both temples, "I have a few alternatives, but I haven't decided which one to perform!"

"How many alternatives?" said Cordy Scott, reminding him a little, "Young, we only have two hours! Why don't you sing us a few alternative songs, and we'll see if we can give you some suggestions for picking one for you." ”

"Hmm~" Xiao Yao hesitated, looked up and saw a set of tambourine placed in front of a musician, a song flashed in his mind, and he slapped the body of the guitar and said, "I'm ready to decide!"

"Oh?" said Cordy Scott, "what song?"

"It's called 'The Remedy,' and it's a pop song. Xiao Yao moved his hands to the strings above the guitar neck and sound hole, and said, "Let me sing it to you first?"

"The Remedy?" laughed Cordie Scott, "Hopson is out of trouble and can't attend the awards show and the show, David is in trouble, you're coming to the bench, are you talking about yourself?"

remedy has the meaning of a solution, a solution. The title of the song is just right for the current situation.

"Actually, it's not!" Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, pointed to the group of tambourines and said, "I just saw the tambourine, and I just remembered this song." This song is about someone else's story, and it has nothing to do with me or the current situation. ”

"Okay, let's hear what your song is like first. Cordy Scott also found a chair and sat down.

The song that Xiao Yao wants to sing is a song by Jasonmarz in his previous life, and the real song title is actually called "Theremedywon't worry", but Xiao Yao has always disliked brackets, so he directly omitted the latter part.

Of course, the original version of this song is not only an acoustic guitar, but Xiao Yao is just letting everyone know the basic melody and lyrics of this song now, and it is still possible to play and sing with only one acoustic guitar.

Xiao Yao cleared his throat and waved his hand to play the prelude. Cordy Scott and the musicians nodded their heads when they heard the intro. Just from the intro melody at the beginning, they feel good.

When Xiao Yao began to sing, Cordy Scott and the musicians all showed surprised expressions.

As musicians who have been working with Cordy Scott for a long time, these musicians are relatively close to Cordy Scott in terms of musical taste and preference. They all saw Xiao Yao for the first time tonight. Speaking of their impression of Xiao Yao's music style, in addition to knowing that Xiao Yao is a member of the band Immortals and has heard some of his rock songs, the most impressive thing about him is the more folk songs "Perfect" and "ThinkingOutLoud", and the song Xiao Yao is singing now is different from these two styles.

"How do you feel?" asked Kordy Scott after singing the song in its entirety.

"It feels good. Cordy Scott said, "It's different from what I imagined, but it's good." ”

"Okay, then this one!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"How do you make the arrangement?" asked Cordy Scott, "do you need us to help you do it?"

"I have some ideas for the soundtrack. Xiao Yao said, "Why don't I tell you my thoughts first, practice according to my arrangement plan and try it, if you have better ideas, we can discuss changes while practicing!"

"Good!" said Cordy Scott.

"I need two guitars, an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, a bass, a keyboard, a drum kit, and a set of tambourine. Xiao Yao said, "I can do the acoustic guitar by myself!"

"Do you have a sheet music, I can write out the melody of the song first, and then mark it for you separately according to different instruments, so that you can watch the music play, which will save time!" Xiao Yao continued.

"Yes!" Cordy Scott waved to his assistant. During the rehearsal, Cordy Scott's assistant didn't go with him to the performance hall, but when he came to the rehearsal room, Kordy Scott's assistant did.

Cordy Scott's assistant came over and gave Xiao Yao a pen and paper, and Xiao Yao flipped the acoustic guitar in his hand and put the paper on the back of the acoustic guitar to write.

"So detailed?" Cordy Scott said with some surprise as he stood aside and watched Xiao Yao write the score, "It seems that you already have a very mature and complete idea of the arrangement of this song! In that case, why didn't you record this song and release it?"

"Because I'm lazy. Xiao Yao didn't raise his head, and replied while writing.

"Uh~" Cordy Scott was speechless again.

"Alright. Xiao Yao divided the written pieces of paper to a few musicians and said, "Do you need to take a look at it first, familiarize yourself with it, or do you just start, you look at the play?"

"Of course, you have to familiarize yourself with it first. Several musicians laughed.

Several musicians took the score written by Xiao Yao and looked at it. In the process of watching, some people can't help but try to play a short part according to what is written on the score.

"Okay, okay!" A few minutes later, several musicians said to Xiao Yao.

"Come on!" Xiao Yao adjusted his sitting posture and picked up the guitar.

The drummer of the drum kit taps the hi-hat, and the keyboardist and electric guitarist move together, and then the bass joins in. Ten seconds later, with an accent of the drum kit, Xiao Yao plucked the strings and added the acoustic guitar.

With the cooperation of multiple instruments, this intro sounds several times more beautiful than the previous prelude played by Xiao Yao's single acoustic guitar.

After the prelude, Xiao Yao accurately entered the song and began to sing.

Xiao Yao had sung this song before, but the soundtrack accompaniment was changed, and the whole song sounded very different from just now, and it also felt several times more beautiful than the previous single-wood guitar accompaniment.

"Great, great!" Although there were inevitably some mistakes and flaws in the first joint practice, after the whole song was performed, Cordy Scott and the other musicians who were watching still did not hesitate to applaud and sincerely give their praise.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao lowered his head with a smile and said to several musicians who accompanied him, "You can behave like this in the first joint practice, you are all professional musicians, you have performed great!"

Several musicians smiled and waved.

"However, after all, it is the first time to work together, and there are still some small problems. Xiao Yao looked at the guitarist holding the electric guitar and said, "Robin, I can call you Robin, right? Just now, in the twelfth measure of the first paragraph, your second note was slightly half a beat faster..."

"Hey, you're welcome!" said Cordy Scott, laughing inwardly, "but he's got a great ear, and he's got a lot of musicianship!"

These musicians are all experienced professional musicians, and Xiao Yao did get to the point, so Xiao Yao communicated with them relatively smoothly. After Xiao Yao had a brief exchange with several musicians, everyone soon started the second joint practice.

There are still some problems that inevitably arise from the second joint practice, but they have been greatly improved compared to the first time. Xiao Yao and the musicians discussed and exchanged again, and soon started the third joint practice.

By the third time I practiced together, there were basically no obvious problems.

"Jan, you can really do it! After only three times of practice, it feels almost the same. Cordy Scott said to Xiao Yao, "According to your efficiency, let alone two hours, maybe it won't take an hour, no, maybe even half an hour, you can rehearse the performance of this song." ”

"No, no, no, it's not that simple, it's not the version I'm going to perform in a moment. Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile.

"What? isn't it?" said Cordy Scott in a strange "and what are you doing here?"

"What we're practicing now, except for a little less harmony, is basically what I'm going to look like when I record the official version of the song in the studio. Xiao Yao said, "The performance at the award ceremony is a live performance. Since it's a live performance, I just want to play it properly and play something different, and I don't want to be the same as the studio version. This studio version is the foundation, and only when I practice this well and become proficient can I play tricks and let everyone make some changes on this basis. ”

"You're still going to play tricks?" said Cordy Scott, "what tricks do you want to play?"
