Chapter 4: She's Gone

The reason why Xin asked Cao Wu to make a new album is also related to his previous band.

In the metal circle for nearly ten years, although it has not been well-known by the public, it has become somewhat famous.

In the circle, Cao Wu is one of the few famous iron voices.

His true voice can reach a high of F5 and a low of D2, spanning three and a half octaves.

Don't be too low, this is the real sound, if he uses the whistle he can soar to the C7, but it is not necessary.

What is the concept of a three-and-a-half-octave vocal range? This means that he has both the high-pitched and sharp voice of Gunflower lead Ross and the low and sexy of Johnny Cash, and can basically handle most of the songs.

Of course, singing skills must be satisfied.

Singing is not just a big voice, Xiao Shenyang can also sing "The Sea", but it doesn't have the feeling of being natural and full of emotions like Zhang Yusheng.

In the first few years of playing in the band, Cao Wu also relied on his bottom line to sing, and it was not until a few years ago that his singing skills felt a little like he was in the house.

And the reason why Xin chose Cao Wu is also related to the fact that Cao Wu came directly to the recording studio with a song "The Name of the Rose" that did not drop the Key, which directly suppressed him.

With the current sound conditions, how much can you exert your strength before the crossing?

As soon as the chords at the bottom of his hand changed, a string of sad melodies flowed from Cao Wu's fingers.

“She's gone,”

"She's gone,"

“Out of my life,”

"Leaving my life,"

……

The song "She's Gone" he sang is a metal love song from the famous metal band Iron Heart, known for its pitch, and singers who are generally known for their high notes rarely have the courage to challenge this world-famous song, which can be called the killer track of the iron lung male singer's singing skills.

Lin Zhixuan once sang a cover, but he still needs to change the true and false tones in the processing of the chorus, and it is still a little difficult to sing to G3 at the top.

And Cao Wu sat in front of the piano, entered the first section of the chorus, and sang directly to A3 with his real voice!

“Forgive me, girl。 ”

"Forgive me, girl. ”

“Lady, won't you save me? lady。 ”

"Don't you want to save me?"

“My heart belongs to you。 ”

"My heart belongs to you. ”

……

Cao Wu was immersed in the interpretation of the song, and he didn't notice a figure at the door, staring at him intently, as if he saw a rare treasure.

After singing a song, Cao Wu is quite satisfied, although his current voice conditions are not as mature as his own twenty years later, but his professional skills in all aspects such as breath and skills can exert more than 60% of his strength.

It's like a professional racing driver, even if you're driving a private car, you can make all kinds of technical moves.

With software strength, hardware upgrades are much easier.

"Classmate, may I ask what song you just sang?"

Cao Wu didn't notice that a woman in a professional lady's suit had pushed the door in and stood not far behind him.

She looks like she is about 20 years old, with a simple ponytail and a plain face, but it makes people feel clean and fresh.

"Are you?" asked Cao Wu suspiciously.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. The woman explained with some embarrassment: "I am the vocal teacher of the third-grade art class, and my name is Liu Wanling." ”

Cao Wu, the vocal music teacher in the third year of high school, didn't have any impression of her, but she still got up and said hello: "Hello teacher." ”

Liu Wanling nodded, and asked a little impatiently: "Classmate, can you tell me what is the name of this song you sang just now?"

"It's called She's Gone. Cao Wu said honestly.

“she's gone…… Yes, the first sentence is she's gone. Liu Wanling muttered to herself, and asked eagerly: "Who sang this song?"

"Haven't you heard it?" Cao Wu was a little surprised, if it was an ordinary person, it would be normal not to have heard this song, but as a vocal teacher, it would be a little strange not to have heard this song.

"Well, the melody of this song is very beautiful, and although the difficulty is high, you just handled it very well...... By the way, did you make an arrangement of your accompaniment just now?"

"Yes, the original accompaniment was played in four eight-beat piano mattresses and then connected with electric guitars. "Cao Wu has already made an adaptation, there is no need to deny it.

Liu Wanling is also a music professional, and as soon as Cao Wu explained slightly, she had a rough outline in her heart, and she was even more itchy for a while.

Most people who play music have some obsessive-compulsive disorder, and when they hear a good song, they will naturally meet Hunter's Heart.

Liu Wanling asked again: "Did you write this song?"

Cao Wu didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Teacher Liu, are you here for something?"

"Oh, I'll come back and get the score. Liu Wanling stepped forward and took a sheet of music from the top of the piano, which should have been dropped at the end of class.

After getting the score, Liu Wanling did not leave, but continued to ask: "Classmate, did you write this song?"

Cao Wu smiled and said ambiguously: "Don't you go back and check it on the Internet?"

Touching a soft nail, Liu Wanling didn't ask any more questions, smiled at him, and looked at him deeply, as if she wanted to remember his appearance, and then turned around and left.

Watching her leave, the smile on the corner of Cao Wu's mouth disappeared, and he frowned and thought, how could she not have heard "She's Gone"?

"Cao Wu. ”

The classroom door was pushed open again, and Zhang Xinyi came in from outside the door and asked casually, "You have eaten so quickly?"

Cao Wu didn't answer, he just wanted to solve the matter quickly.

"Let's get straight to the point! What do you want to say?"

Zhang Xinyi said aggrievedly: "Why? It's only been two days, and you are so impatient with me?"

Seeing that Cao Wu was unmoved, she said in a sullen voice: "Yes, Zhang Haozhe asked me to go out to sing the night before yesterday, but he said that I only went there for Wei Yan's birthday." I'll admit that he said something he liked me, but I didn't promise him, huh?"

Cao Wu didn't answer, Zhang Xinyi was a little angry, and her voice raised a little: "Don't use this attitude towards me, aren't you wrong in this matter? Obviously, let's sign up for an art class together, why do you want to change it to a liberal arts class? You gave up the band first!"

"You mention the band to me?" Cao Wu shook his head: "I don't know Wei Xiang, why didn't he ask me to go with him? Even if he didn't call me, why did you hide it from me?"

"I ......," Zhang Xinyi was speechless for a while.

"As for the band, when did I miss a rehearsal?"

"The running of the band is not something that can be done by rehearsing alone...... And it's not just about rehearsals!"

Zhang Xinyi was a little irritable, she frowned and looked at Cao Wu, and said helplessly: "Do you know? ”

"I don't love music enough?" Cao Wu laughed angrily: "In order to set aside time for rehearsals, do you know what time I wrote my homework at night? Do you know how many layers of cocoons on my fingers have been worn off for my graduation performance?"

"Is this enough?" Zhang Xinyi looked at him sadly: "You know that we don't form a band to play at home, we are rushing to make our debut." If you want to make your debut, you have to think about realistic issues as much as possible. ”

"Tell me, then, what is the problem of reality?"

Zhang Xinyi suddenly broke out, and she shouted hoarsely: "The real problem is that we want to sign a music company! We want to release a record! Zhang Haozhe's uncle is the music director of Damai Music Media! We have to have a good relationship with him! Do you understand?"

Cao Wu was silent.

It is said that girls are more precocious than boys, Cao Wu remembered that he couldn't listen to Zhang Xinyi's explanation at all, only full of anger.

Does Zhang Xinyi's words make sense?

It does make sense, Cao Wu, who has been in the society for many years, understands even more deeply than her.

However, he still couldn't accept it.

"You don't have to meddle in these things, I'll handle it myself. Cao Wu's words were a little unconfident.

"How did you deal with it?Did you report the liberal arts class and separate all the members of the band?" Zhang Xinyi shook her head painfully, she grabbed Cao Wu's arm and pleaded: "I know, you changed to the liberal arts class because of the pressure from your family, you go back and talk to your aunt and uncle, now that school is not long ago, you can still be transferred to the art class." Come here, come with me, and we'll have a better future. ”

A wry smile flowed from the corner of his mouth, and Cao Wu said slowly: "You are indeed much more mature than me now, but it is not enough, I didn't understand why my parents didn't agree with me to take the art exam, and I complained about them for a long time, but now I understand." ”

Gently breaking away her hand, Cao Wu looked at her and said seriously: "The better future you are talking about is actually a narrower single-plank bridge, I have walked over, and it is ten thousand times more difficult than you imagined." My parents are from the past, and they know that with my current professional level, the probability of passing is very slim, and it is better to retreat and lay a good foundation first, and then make plans. After all, there is still a long way to go in life, and this is also a sentence I want to advise you. ”

The hand slipped weakly, and Zhang Xinyi's eyes gradually changed from sadness and despair to pity and contempt when he looked at him.

"You're a coward, deserter. ”

"No, I just went the safer way. ”

Sneered twice, Zhang Xinyi looked at him indifferently, and said mercilessly: "I was blind before, Zhang Haozhe is 10,000 times stronger than you, at least he still has dreams!"

Cao Wu sighed and said: "There are many people who have dreams, how many can realize them? What really matters is not dreams, but the methods to realize dreams." ”

The shortcut that Zhang Xinyi thought was actually not a shortcut, if you just find some connections and you can become popular, then the band is too good.

In his previous life, although Zhang Haozhe's band signed into his uncle's Damai Music Media Company and spent a lot of resources to support it, it only lived for three and a half years, and it didn't live as long as Cao Wu's band.

Playing music is not a business, it is not 100% a thing.

Zhang Xinyi seemed to have decided that Cao Wu was a waste, she looked at him in disgust, and said coldly: "Since this is the case, then we have nothing to say." From now on, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge, goodbye!"

With that, she turned and left, slamming the door hard when she went out, and walked decisively and simply.

Turning around and putting the lid away, turning off the light, Cao Wu closed the door and walked slowly downstairs.

Things have developed to this point, although it was expected, but the mood is inevitably a little gloomy.

Let's find a place to eat first!

People live to eat, and only when they are full can they think about these useless things.

I remember that the Zhuo Kee rice noodles in the alley outside the back door are very delicious, and I haven't moved away yet, so it's not the taste in my memory to taste it!
