Chapter 35: Gun Flower Bar
After coming out of the Shuangyin Building, Liu Jingxin did not immerse himself in joy, but quickly adjusted his mood and began to get busy.
Liu Jingxin has a lot of things to do next, the recording studio needs to be booked, the musician information in QQ Music needs to be improved, Tong Wenxuan's task needs to be completed, and he has to help Peng Conan regain his dignity and bass in the next two days......
Although busy, Liu Jingxin felt fulfilled like never before. Now that he is making progress every day, the future he is looking forward to can already be seen, which should not be an extravagant hope.
Liu Jingxin called the recording studio he often went to on the way to the rehearsal room to make an appointment, the appointment time was on the afternoon of this Sunday, the price of the other party was very good, the preferential price was 500 yuan an hour, if it went well, the time should be controlled within three hours, if it didn't go well, it was really difficult to determine how long it would take.
The microphone in the studio is very sensitive, and the sound of the fabric of the clothes rubbing can be recorded, and any inadvertent small movement will cause the recording to fail, and you have to start all over again. In addition, the recording of an electroacoustic band is very difficult, and if you record on separate tracks, it is difficult for the musicians to achieve their best emotions, but if you record together, all kinds of "accidents" can happen.
Liu Jingxin still remembers the first time their band went into the recording studio to record a song, and he was stunned that he recorded it from noon the day before to the next morning, and he almost died of exhaustion......
With the arrival of the subway, Liu Jingxin woke up from his memories.
Time flies! In the blink of an eye, it's been more than two years!
With the crowd, Liu Jingxin walked out of the subway station, walked some distance, and arrived at the rehearsal room to start practicing.
Although everything is developing in a good direction now, Liu Jingxin knows very well that strength is the foundation of everything. All he can do with this system is the icing on the cake, if he is too weak, the system can't help even if he wants to, and he can't even complete those tasks in the system.
Compared with before the system, Liu Jingxin obviously feels that his short-term goals are clearer now, like an invisible hand pushing him step by step, step by step towards the light.
Liu Jingxin has now reached a bottleneck in his piano skills, and he feels that his skills in all aspects seem to be good, but they don't seem to be good enough.
Regarding the problem of breaking through the bottleneck period, Liu Jingxin asked Fang Zhichao for advice.
Fang Zhichao's advice is: the more you are stuck in the bottleneck period, the more you need to find more tunes from those guitar masters to practice, carefully figure out the timbre of others, study other people's scores, feel every detail of the performance, and find passages that are difficult for you to fully interpret and practice repeatedly.
After all, Liu Jingxin is not from a professional class, and he will feel more or less difficult when picking up the scores, and most of the scores that can be found on the Internet are castrated versions, and there are no details, and he has to rely on his own continuous correction and improvement.
In addition to the score, the tone of the guitar is also difficult to control.
The timbre of different guitars is also different, and the parameters of the effects are also very delicate data, and it is very difficult to find the same sound as the original song.
When many people imitate the master's tune, the guitar tone sounds very similar, but when it is played, it completely loses the charm of the original song, in addition to the difference in strength, a large part of the reason is in the timbre.
Liu Jingxin obviously felt that there seemed to be an invisible wall in front of him, and it was really difficult to break through the past, and all he could do was to keep honing himself, and there was no other way.
There really is no shortcut to improving technology!
Liu Jingxin practiced the piano in the rehearsal room all morning, and then went out to eat something casually, and didn't wait long for Tong Wenxuan to come.
Tong Wenxuan's progress has also slowed down, and although the chord switching in his left hand has improved, it is still incoherent.
Although there is less and less time left, Liu Jingxin has no good advice, so he can only let Tong Wenxuan calm down and continue to practice.
Tong Wenxuan's left fingers have been blistered, and the practice is quite painful, but fortunately, she is really strong, and she has been gritting her teeth and holding on, and it is estimated that her fingers will not be so painful in a few days.
After seeing off Tong Wenxuan in the evening, Liu Jingxin rushed to the coffee shop to start work.
Xiao Shiyu did not appear today, which made Liu Jingxin breathe a big sigh of relief, he was really scared by Xiao Shiyu yesterday. If that girl kept pestering him, he really felt that he would not be able to work in this coffee shop for long.
Liu Jingxin's presence has made the café's business much more popular than before, and now it is necessary to book in advance on weekdays to have a place at 6 o'clock in the evening, and there are people who order songs every day, and occasionally there are more generous people who will tip Liu Jingxin, which completely solves Liu Jingxin's "financial crisis".
After work, Liu Jingxin rushed to the rehearsal room to rehearse with everyone.
Conan Peng brought new news today, and he and the band have already set a time and place. It's 11 p.m. tomorrow night, and the venue is scheduled for a rock-themed bar on another bar block.
That side is people's home field, and the PK over there will definitely suffer more or less, but Liu Jingxin is very confident in the two PK contents of the piano and drums, so the focus of tonight's rehearsal is to work with Peng Conan's original song, and strive to handle every detail well.
Only by making the most adequate preparations can you fight a tough battle, this is the last word!
Because this PK is to bet on musical instruments, Peng Conan naturally can't let Liu Jingxin and them bet on their own musical instruments, so he spent more than 2,000 to buy an Ibanez electric bass.
Everything is ready, and naturally it is time to go to the "battlefield"!
The next night, everyone finished assembling outside the café where Liu Jingxin worked, and then took a taxi to the agreed bar.
It can be seen that Peng Conan really attaches great importance to this PK, he once again put on a decorative nose ring for himself, painted smoky makeup, leather clothes and leather pants and a broom head, walking outside in the middle of the night is estimated to scare the timid half to death.
The bar where PK works is called Gun Flower Bar, and the neon signs are full of stick figures of guitars and drums. It can be seen that the owner of this bar should be a rock lover.
There is a lot of space in the bar, in addition to the booths on both sides, there are many tables in the middle, at the front of the bar is a "T" shaped stage, the stage is covered with a red carpet, there is a drum kit in the center and back, there are speakers on the edge, and in the corner are bundles of wires and microphone stands and other things, which look quite professional.
Around ten o'clock was the peak period for customers at the bar, and after Liu Jingxin and others entered the Gun Flower Bar, they found that there were already many people inside.
At this time, there was a band on stage playing the guitar Solo in the middle of Metallica's "Master Of Puppets", each member of the band wore grimace masks, and the dress was even more exaggerated than the current Peng Conan, but the effect on the stage was very good, but their lead guitarist was obviously not good enough, and they actually lost several notes from this section of Speed Solo.
The customers in the audience were crazy, almost all of them stood up, and some stood up on the table with their bottles held high. If you don't really like rock music and this kind of atmosphere, you will probably be so frightened that you will turn around and run away immediately when you come here and see this scene.
"Is that them?" asked Liu Jingxin, pointing to the band on stage.
Peng Conan replied loudly while looking around, "It's not them, wait for me to find it...... See, over there!"
