Chapter 39: Seven Levels of Contra
When Liu Jingxin's performance was over, the owner of the bar, Brother You, came to the edge of the stage drunkenly, gave Liu Jingxin a thumbs up, and shouted: "Brothers, all your consumption here today is free!"
Liu Jingxin said with a polite smile: "Thank you, Brother You!"
Brother You waved his hand and said with a proud smile: "What's polite, I will be my own brother in the future." It's fun to eat, if there's anything you need my help with, just call me. ”
Liu Jingxin was not hypocritical, nodded with a smile: "Success!"
Seeing off Brother You, Liu Jingxin hurriedly took off the guitar and handed it to Peng Conan next to him to help hold it, turned over and jumped off the stage, and was about to go to find Zhang Xun, but was stopped by Da Mao.
Da Mao said: "The person I am looking for has already come." ”
What Liu Jingxin didn't expect was that Zhang Xun and those who came with him were the helpers that Da Mao found.
Da Mao saw Zhang Xun and a few people coming over, hurriedly stepped forward and stood between Liu Jingxin and Zhang Xun, and said to Liu Jingxin with a proud face: "I'll give you a solemn introduction......
"No need!" Zhang Xun raised his hand to interrupt Da Mao's words, stared at Liu Jingxin with both eyes, and said with a sullen face: "I really don't understand, what are you doing now." Helping people propose, helping people fight the piano, is the next step going to help elementary school students fight?"
Liu Jingxin asked rhetorically, "What about you?"
Zhang Xun smiled faintly and said, "I'm just here to see who is so ignorant of the rules!"
Da Yang came over and stood next to Liu Jingxin at this time, he was very tall, looked down at Zhang Xun from top to bottom, gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better pay attention to what you say." ”
Zhang Xun glanced at Da Yang obliquely, and said coldly: "I really don't understand what the three of you think, he said that the band was disbanded, and you guys honestly slapped their butts and left, he said that he wanted to reorganize the band, and you guys rushed back again." You treat him like a brother, but don't you think about what he thinks of you?"
Liu Jingxin hurriedly said: "Things are not what you think, you listen to me......"
Zhang Xun lowered his head and waved his hand to interrupt: "Needless to say, figure out what the purpose of our coming here today is." I don't care if it's you or who is here today, since you're going to fight the piano, then don't talk nonsense, let's start quickly!"
Liu Jingxin knew that with Zhang Xun's current attitude, no matter what he said on this occasion, it would not make any sense.
In that case, let's talk about it after the fight!
Liu Jingxin took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, exhaled softly, stared at Zhang Xun with his eyes and asked, "Since we are fighting the piano, then let's settle down first, what are you betting on?"
Zhang Xun turned his head slightly, saw Peng Conan standing behind Liu Jingxin, his eyes fell on the guitar, and he said in a deep voice: "Follow the rules, gamble on the piano!"
This answer was expected by Liu Jingxin, but hearing Zhang Xun's words, Liu Jingxin still felt a little awkward, after all, this piano was found by Zhang Xun all the way to Rongcheng.
Liu Jingxin was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Even if I win, I don't want your qin." ”
Zhang Xun frowned and asked, "Then what do you want?"
Liu Jingxin stared at Zhang Xun and said word by word: "I want you as a person!"
Zhang Xun said angrily: "What do you mean?"
Liu Jingxin said: "If I lose, my guitar belongs to you, and if you lose, I ask you to return to the team!"
Zhang Xun frowned tightly, ignoring the worries of the other teammates behind him, was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
"I'll wait for you on stage!" Liu Jingxin said no more, turned around and took the guitar from Peng Conan's hand, and pulled Da Yang back to the stage.
Jiang Li and Bao Yi also saw Zhang Xun, and greeted Liu Jingxin with complicated expressions and asked, "Brother Jingxin, what's the situation? Zhang Xun shouldn't be the helper that Changmao'er called?"
Liu Jingxin nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Jiang Li said angrily: "Why is it so coincidental?
Liu Jingxin said: "I've already talked to him, Douqin!"
Bao Yi hurriedly persuaded: "They are all brothers, there is no need for this, right?"
Da Yang explained on the side: "Brother Jingxin has already negotiated with Zhang Xun, if we lose, give them this big G, if we win, Zhang Xun will return to the team!"
Jiang Li and Bao Yi were stunned when they heard this, and after glancing at each other, their expressions became solemn, and they nodded in unison: "Understood!"
Naturally, this piano fight can only be won, not lost!
Although Zhang Xun used to be a rhythm guitarist in the team, in terms of personal skills, he actually did not lose too much to Liu Jingxin. Moreover, the environment here is very complex, and there is a high probability that unforeseen emergencies will occur during the piano fight, and it is really difficult to say who will win or lose.
Therefore, Liu Jingxin and they do not have absolute confidence to win.
When Liu Jingxin and the others were communicating in a corner of the stage, Da Mao had already run to find the owner of the bar, Brother You, and told him about the two bands going to fight the piano.
Brother You seemed to like watching the piano very much, and after listening to Da Mao's words, he immediately got up and ran backstage, beckoned a few staff members to move out of the warehouse and bring out a set of drums, and personally led people to rearrange the stage.
There were many experienced audience members in the audience, and when they saw two drum kits on stage, they immediately realized that there might be a good show next, and they became excited one by one.
After more than half an hour, the stage was rearranged, and a set of drums were set up on the left and right, which was equivalent to dividing the positions of the two bands.
Zhang Xun and the band he brought were also ready, and they took the stage together, standing opposite the brothers of the past.
Liu Jingxin asked loudly, "What kind of fighting method?"
Zhang Xun smiled faintly and said, "It's up to you." ”
Liu Jingxin smiled and asked, "Is Contra okay?"
Zhang Xun said: "Whatever!"
Liu Jingxin nodded and said, "Okay! That's it! The song I chose, then you start first." ”
There are a lot of electroacoustic versions of the song "Contra", which is divided into seven parts, corresponding to the background music of the seven levels of the game of Contra.
Playing the background music of these seven levels is equivalent to two bands fighting for a total of seven games and winning four of the seven games. And when I chose this piece, it was not only the piano that I had to fight, but also the drums.
The first player to play the music at the beginning of the game, then the entire passage from the first level, and then the opponent repeats the complete set of passages, not only using the skills that the opponent has used, but also adding new techniques to it.
In this process of repetition, the same piece of music not only becomes progressively more difficult to play, but also ensures that the whole piece is not destroyed.
If either team fails to catch up, or makes a mistake that ruins the whole piece, the game is lost and the next game is automatically started.
After seven rounds, even two bands with the same strength will inevitably be able to separate the winners and losers, because as the difficulty of the song increases, no one can guarantee that they will not make any mistakes.
After Liu Jingxin adjusted the piano tone, he made a "please" gesture to Zhang Xun opposite.
Zhang Xun took out the pick, adjusted his breath, and played the classic background music of "Contra" with a serious expression, and officially started the piano.
"When, when, when, when......"
