Chapter 32: The Spirit of Rock 'n' Roll
When Liu Jingxin came to the rehearsal room, the other members of the band had already arrived, but Da Yang and the others were not rehearsing, but were putting posters on the wall.
These posters were all printed by themselves on the Internet, including Slash with long wavy hair and a top hat, Zakk with a lollipop guitar, Marilyn Manson with gothic makeup, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, and the Magic Rock Trio......
The walls are all Liu Jingxin's favorite rock characters, and they also have their own goals that they aspire to surpass.
I hope that Friday's reorganization is not a repeat of the mistakes of the past, but can really walk out of a sunny road!
Jiang Li came to Liu Jingxin's side, crossed his arms and looked at the Slash posted on the wall with Liu Jingxin, and asked with a smile: "Brother Jingxin, what's the matter? Do you feel that the atmosphere has come out all of a sudden?"
Liu Jingxin smiled faintly and said, "Well, indeed." β
At this time, Liu Jingxin's mobile phone rang suddenly, he took out his mobile phone and saw the caller ID, frowned slightly, and then turned around and walked out of the rehearsal room.
Liu Jingxin: "Hello?"
As soon as the call was connected, Tong Wenxuan's voice came out of the earpiece: "It's done, how do you say you thank me." β
"Thank you?" Liu Jingxin was really depressed, he felt that it would be very good if he didn't go to Tong Wenxuan to settle accounts, and the other party actually wanted him to thank him?
Tong Wenxuan said: "Do you know, she forced me to let me take her to see your rehearsal today. β
Liu Jingxin hurriedly said: "Don't bring her over." β
Tong Wenxuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I talked to Xiao Xiao for a long time, and finally made her through." She is a person who is easy to do things impulsively, comes and goes quickly, and may stop pestering you completely after a while. But what will be like her in the last few days, I really can't say, I can guarantee that she will certainly not disturb your work like today, she promised me. β
Liu Jingxin smiled bitterly: "Okay, that's how her business will be first." You must hurry up and practice, I suggest that from now until your grandmother's birthday, you should take a fixed time to practice in our rehearsal room every afternoon, so that I can always be sure of your level and see if you need to make appropriate adjustments in the future. β
"Obey!" Tong Wenxuan replied crisply and neatly, which made Liu Jingxin very pleased.
As a teacher, the most fearful thing is not that the students you teach are stupid, but that you don't study seriously. With Tong Wenxuan's hard work, Liu Jingxin felt that his second time-limited mission should have great hope of being successfully completed.
After ending the call with Tong Wenxuan, Liu Jingxin returned to the rehearsal room and began their new day of rehearsals.
Before coming today, Liu Jingxin had already informed Peng Conan that he didn't need to come over tonight, because everyone had already helped Peng Conan complete the adaptation and rehearsal of the original punk song, and he just had to practice for another night before going to PK. For tonight's rehearsal, Liu Jingxin has a new arrangement.
Liu Jingxin sat in the center of the room, holding a guitar in his arms, and asked the other brothers, "Have you listened to all the song samples I sent to everyone?"
"Listen. They replied.
Liu Jingxin said: "Then let's preliminarily combine it to see the effect, and then discuss together to see how to modify it, and strive to get this song done tonight." β
In addition to fine-tuning the chords and melody, the structure of the whole song has also been adjusted, and the two solos in the prelude and the second half have also been rewritten to make the artistic conception of the whole song closer to the theme.
If it weren't for such hard work, Liu Jingxin wouldn't have been half an hour late for work today.
Liu Jingxin looked at his arrangement of the whole song, especially satisfied with the second half of Solo, he cut some of the content of the show-off, only pursued the feeling of the whole melody, and the appropriate addition of slides and kneading made this solo melody more flavorful than the initial version in the afternoon.
However, there was a serious problem with the evening version, which was the lack of rhythmic guitar accompaniment.
There is no way, Liu Jingxin can only let Bao Yi supplement the timbre of the keyboard to simulate the electric guitar, which can barely make do, but it must not be the best effect.
After a few preludes, Liu Jingxin began to sing loudly into the microphone: "I always want to give you some romantic, the most luxurious marriage proposal ceremony, but in the end, there is only one meal ......"
After everyone put the whole song together for the first time, their expressions were very calm and they didn't seem very excited.
Using a keyboard instead of a rhythm guitar is too bad after all, and a lot of it doesn't feel right, and it sounds weird.
When the song ended, Liu Jingxin heard the system prompt again.
γDing!Detected that the host has completed the original task with the theme of "Tian Zheng's Wish", will the original song be submitted for evaluation?(Yes/No)γ
Liu Jingxin continued to ignore this system reminder, frowning and turning his head to look at the others.
Jiang Li and the others all looked at Liu Jingxin with complicated expressions at this time, and no one spoke. They also knew that a band of their style would not be able to rehearse properly without the rhythm guitar.
The more times like this, the more they miss Zhang Xun.
Liu Jingxin didn't want the atmosphere to be too depressing, so he shrugged his shoulders lightly, and smiled helplessly: "It seems that I have to find a rescuer tonight." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Fang Zhichao's number.
Coincidentally, Fang Zhichao was drinking with a few friends in a nearby bar at this time, and after receiving a call from Liu Jingxin, he immediately rushed over, and he also brought a Fanta guitar that he borrowed from nowhere.
"Brother Chao, didn't bother you to be hi, did you?" Liu Jingxin greeted him with joy on his face.
Fang Zhichao said: "What do you say? A girl was asking me if I wanted to go to her house at night, and you called, and I directly asked her to get out." β
Jiang Li asked with envy, "Is it really fake?"
Fang Zhichao laughed and said: "Of course it's fake, if it's true, I definitely won't come! Say, who are you going to help propose marriage this time? I also listened to the song that Jingxin sent in the afternoon, and it feels pretty good." β
Liu Jingxin hurriedly explained: "It's not a marriage proposal, it's my original, and I want to finalize the arrangement of this song tonight." β
Fang Zhichao was stunned when he heard this, blinked his eyes and asked, "You wrote it?"
Liu Jingxin nodded and said, "That's right." β
Fang Zhichao frowned suspiciously: "This is not your style." β
Liu Jingxin's previous songs are biased towards European and American hard rock and metal rock, and the lyrics are biased towards their satire of this society, their anger at reality, and their imagination of the ideal world.
No matter what the arrangement of this new song is, its lyrics about "love" are destined to be biased towards Pop Rock, which is not the style of the Friday band in Fang Zhichao's impression.
Liu Jingxin smiled faintly and said: "Brother Chao, you should know, people like us who play bands are especially eager to be able to convey our thoughts and ideas to others, and especially want to use music to depict the ugliness of this world for others to see." In the end, when I was covered in bruises, I found that everyone was very busy, and there was no one to bird us. What do we think, and who cares?"
Speaking of this, Liu Jingxin paused, turned his head to look at the other three brothers, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and continued: "We have gone from disbandment to reorganization, and too many things have happened during this period, and I have found that this world is not only not so ugly, but also has many beautiful places. Now that we've decided to let go of playing, we don't care about anyone's eyes and record our own experiences with our own music, and I think that's really satisfying. β
Fang Zhichao nodded and said, "Yes, I agree with what you said." Rock is not limited to a fixed form of music, rock is a spirit, the spirit of self-pursuit and freedom. To use an old saying: Lao Tzu is happy, what do you love!"
