Zhang Xun finished smoking a cigarette, returned to the house with a choking smell of smoke, pulled a chair and sat opposite Liu Jingxin, raised his hand and scraped his chin with his fingers, looked at Liu Jingxin with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said: "I didn't expect that you would come for real this time." Did the regrouping of our band after the disbandment this time make you feel so much?"

Liu Jingxin shook his head and said: "This is just one aspect, in fact, what really made me decide to change was Gao Xuehao." ”

Zhang Xun was stunned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with him?"

Liu Jingxin said: "I don't know if you remember the night he agreed to join the band, he only drank a bottle of beer, and he didn't smoke a cigarette the whole time, and he didn't eat much barbecue. ”

Zhang Xun was puzzled: "Maybe people don't smoke, don't like to drink, and don't like to eat barbecue." ”

Liu Jingxin said: "No matter what the reason, anyway, I was quite touched that night, I really want to be a responsible lead singer, in addition to the guitar, the voice is also my instrument." Can you allow yourself to take alcohol every day to soak your guitar? Can you allow yourself to smoke your guitar every day?"

Zhang Xun suddenly realized: "If you say that, I understand." Don't worry, I won't tease you in the future, I will help you quit smoking as much as possible. Okay, let's get down to business, it's time to study last night's original song. ”

Liu Jingxin asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

After Zhang Xun pondered for a moment, Zhengse said: "Actually, I stayed fine this morning, I found out all the songs we wrote before and listened to them, and then I thought of what you said last night, I suddenly had a new understanding." ”

"Oh? Liu Jingxin said, unscrewed the cap of the thermos bottle, poured the fat sea that was still a little hot in the cap, and put on a deaf look.

Zhang Xun said: "I suddenly found that we seem to have entered a misunderstanding in the principle of creation. How did we write songs in the past? Listening to other people's songs, suddenly I heard it cool, so I picked up the guitar and started writing, and after I finished writing, we used other people's songs for reference, and the final thing we made was completely different, and there was no style of our own. ”

As a rock band that seeks freedom and individuality, it is very important to have a style that is completely unique to and suitable for your band. If a band writes a song that has no style at all, or is particularly similar to the style of other bands, it will be difficult to get recognition and it will be difficult to go far.

Liu Jingxin nodded thoughtfully and said, "The question you mentioned, in fact, I have been thinking about it for a while. I've never been sure where to go, and I don't know what rock style our band should be heading towards. It wasn't until my last song came out that I figured it out. Isn't it up to others to judge the style of a band? What we need to do is to do our own work in our own way, regardless of the style. ”

Zhang Xun clapped his hands and applauded: "That's a good thing, let's just follow our own way and don't care about other people's judgments at all, this is the rock spirit we are pursuing." ”

Liu Jingxin took a sip of the fat sea with the bottle cap, nodded with a smile, and said, "Back to the topic, how are we going to do this song?"

Zhang Xun said: "I think we walked into a misunderstanding yesterday, as if when making every song, we will think about how to add a guitar Solo, what kind of flower should be added to the drum, and what kind of skills the bass should come up with. ”

Compared with Liu Jingxin, Zhang Xun has studied every conventional instrument in the electroacoustic orchestra and has a wider range of knowledge, although it is easier to walk into a creative dead end, but once he recognizes the problem, he can quickly correct it on his own. Liu Jingxin, on the other hand, pays too much attention to the main note of the electric guitar, which leads to a slight one-sided creation of his creation.

Zhang Xun's words woke up Liu Jingxin and made Liu Jingxin pause.

It's true, when they wrote songs before, they would want to add a guitar solo or bass solo to each song, and they wanted to add a difficult flower to the drum kit in every connection, and ignored whether these contents were suitable for the song or not. The music created in this way is like a commodity coming up and down the assembly line, without any emotion.

Where can a piece of music that can't move people be heard?

Liu Jingxin nodded and said, "I understand." Then let's focus on the song itself, only pick the suitable ones, and don't deliberately pursue show-off skills. ”

Zhang Xun picked up the guitar, raised his hand and swept the strings, and said: "Look, just look at the lyrics of your song, the main elements are breaking the cocoon and turning into a butterfly, folding wings, and flying. So I suggest that we let the keyboard open the song by itself, simulating the timbre of strings to spread out the scene......"

Liu Jingxin and Zhang Xun's discussion this afternoon, the results are very obvious, the idea of the whole song has been straightened out, and then the band will only cooperate together to refine it.

On the way back by car, Liu Jingxin was thinking about some details of the song, and suddenly received a call from Zhang Xun.

Does this kid have any new ideas?

Liu Jingxin thought so and connected the call.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Xun asked on the other side: "You are running so fast! Didn't you say that you have something good to show me? What about a good thing? Don't say it's the bottle of fat sea you soaked." ”

Liu Jingxin said angrily: "It's not your fault, a cigarette disrupted my train of thought." Okay, I'll show you at the evening rehearsals, it's definitely a good thing. ”

Zhang Xun said depressedly: "Selling Guanzi again, is it interesting?"

Liu Jingxin smiled: "Hahaha, I think it's a little interesting......"

By the way, if it weren't for Zhang Xun's call, he almost forgot to print the score.

After Liu Jingxin hung up the call, he hurriedly changed his itinerary, first found a printing shop, printed out the full shop of the selected songs, and then returned to his residence and rushed to work with his guitar.

On the way to the café, Liu Jingxin met several familiar faces.

"Brother Xin?" a tall and thin boy waved at Liu Jingxin from afar.

Liu Jingxin recognized at a glance that the people not far away were the members of the band of the nearby university, and the tall and thin boy was the band's rhythm guitarist and lead singer, named Zhou Shuntao.

"You guys are out shopping?" asked Liu Jingxin with a smile.

Zhou Shuntan sighed and said: "Alas, don't mention it! Our band is going to open a special music show in the school, and now we lack funds, and we are soliciting sponsors everywhere." ”
