Chapter 2: A Song into the Soul

Liu Jingxin looked at the guitar on the bed, so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a brief pause, he hurried to the side of the bed and carefully picked up the guitar.

It is an A-type electric box with a Sitika spruce top, an East Indian rosewood back and side panel, an ebony fingerboard and inlaid with multicolored mothers, and gilded buttons.

Although the headstock is empty and there is no brand logo, it can be seen from the materials and workmanship that this is definitely a top-level electric box piano, not to mention the price, and it is definitely priceless on the market.

Liu Jingxin couldn't wait to tune it immediately, and then played a small song.

I don't have to say anything about the feel, the timbre is very positive, the bass is as solid as a man on a horse, and the treble is tactful like a fairy, even in this small space and not suitable for playing in an environment, the beautiful sound of the piano is fascinating.

The most important thing is that Liu Jingxin was pleasantly surprised to find that he was unconsciously completely integrated into the music in the process of playing, and instantly entered a state of selflessness, with hands, eyes, heart and even soul all integrated into every note, which was integrated.

This is definitely not an ordinary electric box, it has unimaginable magic, it can plunge the player and the listener into the colorful world of music!

Liu Jingxin stroked the smooth body of the piano, his eyes were gentle, as if he was loving his lover, and he couldn't put it down.

Just then, the system beep sounded again.

【Ding!Detected that the host has successfully extracted the initial task reward, task 1 was successfully activated!】

Liu Jingxin came back to his senses and saw that the content on the system panel had changed.

[Level: Level 1.]

Rock Expert: Recognition (10/10000)

Task 1 (Easy): Get 500 yuan income;

Task 1 (General): Obtain an income of 2,000 yuan;

Task 1 (Difficult): Earn 5,000 RMB.

Mission 2 (Easy/Normal/Hard): Not unlocked.

Note: Income can only be obtained from others through music;Task 2 can only be unlocked if the recognition level exceeds 300 and task 1 is completed;The more difficult the task, the higher the reward, and only one difficulty can be unlocked for the same task;Task 1 is limited to one week, and if it exceeds time, the task will be considered as a failure. 】

Looking at the system panel that was so real that it couldn't be more real, and then looking at the electric box piano in his hand, Liu Jingxin finally couldn't control his emotions and laughed out loud.

After the ecstasy, Liu Jingxin was a little melancholy again.

According to the prompts, the more difficult the mission, the richer the rewards he will get, and he really wants to challenge the hard mode. But earning 5,000 yuan a week is really difficult. However, he was really unwilling to let him choose the low difficulty, after all, he could only challenge one difficulty for the same task.

After struggling with his heart for a long time, Liu Jingxin still ruthlessly took on the task one of the difficult mode.

Pursuing challenges and transcendence, this is his character!

Gently putting down the guitar in his hand, Liu Jingxin took out his mobile phone and called Fang Zhichao.

Fang Zhichao is well-known in the circle and has a wide range of contacts, so he should be able to find some work through him.

After three "beeps", the call is connected.

Fang Zhichao: "Respectfully, what's the matter?"

Liu Jingxin: "Brother Chao, do you have a job, help introduce one, I'm very short of money now." ”

Fang Zhichao: "Is there something going on at home?" I said that your band played well, how could you sell the piano? ”

Liu Jingxin: "Alas, don't ask, it's hard to explain." ”

Fang Zhichao was silent for a long time, and sighed: "There are few jobs now, and it's not easy to find." I have a friend who owns a coffee shop, and he lacks a resident singer, so I asked him to keep an eye on it. However, what he needs there is a folk style, and you don't play rock 'n' roll, which doesn't quite match. ”

Liu Jingxin hurriedly said: "Actually, when I first came to Kyoto, I played folk songs, and I played the band for so long, blues, jazz or whatever, especially in a café." ”

Fang Zhichao: "Blow you, Jazz." Without further ado, I'll contact that side first, and you can wait for my news. ”

Liu Jingxin was overjoyed: "Thank you, Brother Chao, I will look for an opportunity to invite you to drink when I go back." ”

Fang Zhichao: "Cheng!"

ended the call, and Liu Jingxin fell into an anxious waiting.

I have to say that Fang Zhichao's efficiency is really high, and it didn't take long for him to send Liu Jingxin an address through WeChat, asking him to go there for an interview at three o'clock in the afternoon. As for the price and residency time, Liu Jingxin needs to negotiate with others in person.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Jingxin came to a café near the Xidan business circle according to the address sent to him by Fang Zhichao. After explaining his intention to the beautiful young lady at the front desk, he was ushered into a private room and waited.

Before he came, Fang Zhichao had already told Liu Jingxin that the owner of the café was a rich second generation, called Sun Guomin, although he was generous, he had a high vision and high requirements, so Liu Jingxin had a psychological preparation in advance.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, a young man in a high-end suit pushed the door and walked into the private room, thinking that it should be Sun Guomin.

Liu Jingxin hurriedly stood up and introduced himself: "Mr. Sun, I was introduced by Brother Chao, my name is Liu Jingxin." ”

"Well, sit down. Sun Guomin sat down opposite Liu Jingxin with an expressionless face, and after Liu Jingxin sat down again, he asked: "Listen to Ah Chao, you used to play rock and roll?"

Liu Jingxin said: "Yes, I also had a band before......"

Sun Guomin sighed and interrupted: "The café is quiet on such an occasion, and it is a soothing style, while the rock is noisy, and I feel like my ears are going to explode after listening to it, I am afraid that you will not be used to it." ”

This was said very politely, and Sun Guomin's prejudice against rock and roll was revealed in and out of his words, which made Liu Jingxin very unhappy. But if you want to gain a person's respect, you can't choke or leave, you must come up with really solid and excellent technology.

Rock 'n' roll is not just music, rock 'n' roll is attitude!

Liu Jingxin said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Mr. Sun, it's better to say that it is more convincing, why don't I play a paragraph for you first?" ”

Sun Guomin frowned slightly, his face was displeased, he raised his hand to look at the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, and then leaned back in the chair and said, "I only have five minutes." ”

"That's enough!" Liu Jingxin said, opened the piano case and took out the piano he had just obtained in the morning, and after quickly tuning the tone, he smiled and nodded at Sun Guomin, indicating that he was going to start.

Sun Guomin only smiled faintly, raised his hand and made a "please" gesture.

If you want to show real technology, you have to use finger play.

Liu Jingxin chose the classic track "Eleven Small Roaches" by Michael Hedges, the guitar god. This is a solo piece, the opening melody is playful and lively, and then gradually softens and then repeats the playful and lively melody of the opening in a lyrical way, so that the whole piece is gradually sublimated.

The difficulty of the fingering of this piece lies in the large number of applications to the wheel fingers, and the most difficult part lies in the pauses and connections between several sections, as well as the interlacing of light and heavy accents, which is directly related to whether the emotions of the whole piece can be foreshadowed, whether they can achieve emotional sublimation, and whether they are contagious enough.

With the blessing of the electric box piano in his hand, Liu Jingxin performed the whole piece perfectly, and every small detail was handled very well, so that Sun Guomin unconsciously closed his eyes and enjoyed it with a smile.

In the gradually lighter and slower sound of the piano, the song ended, but Sun Guomin was still intoxicated and did not speak for a long time, as if expecting Liu Jingxin to continue playing.

"Mr. Sun?" Liu Jingxin raised his right hand and shook it in front of Sun Guomin's sight.

"Hmm, oh, hehe......" Sun Guomin came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and when he spoke again, his tone was much kinder: "Can you sing?"

"Yes. Liu Jingxin stopped talking and played again.

This time, he chose Kenny Rutgers' classic track "Lady".

After the melancholy and soothing prelude, Liu Jingxin sang with a slightly vicissitudes of life: "Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you......"

Sun Guomin's face was full of intoxication when he listened to the song, but at this time, he pursed his lips tightly, frowned, his eyes were slightly red, and his expression was a worry, as if he remembered the countless unfulfilled promises he had made to his first love.

The time had exceeded five minutes, but Sun Guomin did not get up to leave, but quietly listened to Liu Jingxin finish singing the whole song, and even had the urge to let Liu Jingxin sing another song after listening.

After taking a few deep breaths, Sun Guomin readjusted his emotions, looked at Liu Jingxin with burning eyes, and said, "I need you here." ”

After speaking, he seemed to feel that it was not enough to show his mood at this time, so he said in an accentuated tone: "I really need you very, very much." ”
