Forty-three Memories of Norma
When they arrived at the Forest of Lights, Huang Yong taught Wang Ou and Su Yuxi to play the guitar in the basement, and Chen Haoran was still practicing the double-leg drum tirelessly.
Cheng Xiaoyu handed Huang Yong the guitar sheet of the six songs he wrote last night, "Drawing the Sword", "Huangpu River", "Snail", "Brave" and Mayday's "Midsummer Light Year" and Faye Wong's "Hypnosis" that he picked up last night.
In his previous life, as a qualified bar-resident musician, Cheng Xiaoyu knew some key points that he had to master: 1. He must be able to read and understand the functional spectrum
2. Master the ability to improvise accompaniment along with harmony.
3. Ability to pick up scores.
4. A large number of popular songs are played.
5. Understand and control timbre.
6. Sight-reading should be good
Why are these must-have skills? Because the bar band has a large amount of songs when it changes new songs, and the time is tight, there is no time for you to rehearse, and when you get the score, you have to play the song directly after listening to it a few times, and then rehearse it twice for the singer, and the singer feels that he is almost waiting for the time to play.
The guitar and keyboards have to be able to hold up the whole band alone, and one person has to go on top of the other. Try to have good ears and keep up with other people, especially bass, when you don't have a score.
Therefore, six songs, two days to rehearse, for Huang Yong, the task is really not too heavy. Huang Yong was excited for a long time after receiving the shop, he had long wanted to learn, but he had never been embarrassed to tell Cheng Xiaoyu.
Cheng Xiaoyu and Chen Haoran are the most relaxed, and Cheng Xiaoyu can complete these performances with his eyes closed. In terms of Cheng Haoran's technique, the difficulty of the drum kit of these new songs is almost low, which makes him quite unhappy, as long as he pays a little attention to the cooperation between the bands, it is simply pediatric for him in terms of performance.
The real pressure in this is that Xia Shamo, she has no experience in singing in bars, and the difficulty of singing several songs is quite high. But I have to say that Xia Shamo really has an innate talent in singing. Not only is the basic skills solid, but more importantly, the comprehension ability is super strong, every time Cheng Xiaoyu points out her shortcomings, and sings again for the second time, the improvement is quite obvious.
Two bars of old fritters with a genius drummer in addition to a singing to transform the invincible soprano. Wang Ou, who listened to it, was really dumbfounded, and only hated why he was a rookie and couldn't play on stage.
At the end of the rehearsal, Wang Ou's face was full of envy. At first, it was fun to learn guitar, then it was to fit in, and now it's because it's a desire to learn guitar. That's how great the magic of music is. When you hold a musical instrument and can perfectly interpret a song, there is a sense of self-satisfaction like sucking. Assuming there is a group of crazy viewers below, it is really the rhythm of H going to the sky, and ** has also been upgraded to Hailuoying. You are the king of this world, you can have whatever you want, of course, to achieve such a state not only requires superb skills, but also has a strong on-site performance and appeal.
Because Xia Shamo had to rush home to cook, the rehearsal ended at five o'clock. In fact, such an intense rehearsal put a lot of pressure on Xia Shamo's throat. Cheng Xiaoyu explained some ways for Xia Shamo to protect her throat, and told her to pay attention.
The five of them made an appointment to come to the rehearsal tomorrow after lunch, and they all dispersed.
Tomorrow is their debut in the Forest of Lights.
Due to being too involved in rehearsals, Cheng Xiaoyu found several unread text messages on his phone when he went home.
A piece of Ji Yunyun's "I'm sorry, I posted your work on the bulletin board without your permission today, and if it bothered you, I apologize to you." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu replied with a smile casually, and sent again, "It's okay." I can't ask for a scandal with a big beauty! After the fight, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I changed it to "It's okay." "Tone it colder.
Look at the second Tang Wenqian's text message again, "What are you doing!" Sisters. Because he didn't reply, he was followed by an angry expression. "Text message. Then the text messages behind clicked on, and they were all kinds of expressions sent by Tang Wenqian.
Cheng Xiaoyu replied, "I'm sorry! Sister, I went to winter swimming with my friends just now! I didn't have my phone with me."
Ji Yunyun's text message hasn't been replied to yet, and Tang Wenqian's has come back first. A series of question marks, surprised emojis, "It can't be in the Huangpu River!" ”
Cheng Xiaoyu replied, "Haha, no, it's in the ocean of music to curb the flying boat." Which of our little orchestras will perform at a bar here in Fudan tomorrow, come and see? Cheng Xiaoyu returned to this girl who is equivalent to a netizen. In fact, he was quite curious about what this girl looked like, but the girl hadn't posted a photo in the back, and Cheng Xiaoyu was embarrassed to play the role of GAY to the end.
"Which bar? If you have time, you must go! Tang Wenqian returned.
"Forest of Lights, on this side of Fudan Bar Street, the bar opened by my classmate's brother. You come and I'll invite you to drink! ”
"Haha, you don't mean evil, do you? Invite an underage cutie to drink! ”
"Cut, don't think crookedly about me, I think of you as a best friend!" Cheng Xiaoyu returned.
"Then you take a good look, I'll take the time to look quietly, anyway, you don't recognize who I am."
"Well, okay, if I see you, I'll be able to recognize you anyway." Cheng Xiaoyu returned.
"No, it can't be."
"No nonsense, bet on what?"
"You guessed it, I won't admit it, what's there to bet on?"
"You're not going to be such a scoundrel, are you?"
"Haha, you're right, I'm such a scoundrel. But it's also interesting, so you guessed it, I promised you a request. If you don't guess, you grant me a request. ”
"Then before you come, you must tell me that you are coming! Otherwise, you wouldn't have come, I'll guess the! ”
"Hmmm! But if you're sure who I am, you have to be in the bar, and give me a rose in public. If it weren't for me, I would have stood up and told you who I am. If it were me, no one would have come forward. ”
"You're not going to find a sister to play tricks on me with you, are you?"
"I'll show you my student ID! There is only one student ID! ”
Cheng Xiaoyu thought about it carefully, and felt that no one should be so boring, so he replied, "Okay, talking counts." ”
didn't know that Xu Qinning here was really so boring and planned to tease him. Xu Qinning also replied, "OK." began to contact the real Tang Wenqian.
Cheng Xiaoyu casually chatted with Ji Yunyun, who replied to the text message, and then drove home.
Xu Qinning has also been working hard to be a good baby in her own house for the sake of her pocket money rights and interests these days, so she didn't sleep on Su Yuxi's side.
This made Cheng Xiaoyu breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that life could go on, and the shadow left by the female devil in Cheng Xiaoyu's heart was too deep. However, what he didn't know was that he still couldn't escape Xu Qinning's calculations.
When Cheng Xiaoyu went home, Su Yuxi was practicing in the piano room, Cheng Xiaoyu stopped to listen for a while, and played Liszt's "Norma's Memories", which is also one of the top ten most difficult piano pieces. This is Liszt's piano piece based on Bellini's opera Norma.
And the most famous aria from the opera Norma is "Holy Goddess". The plot tells the story of the Roman destruction of Gaul in 50 BC, the Trojan high priest Oroveso called on the people to rise up against the enemy, and his daughter Norma (Norma) was the chief priest, fell in love with the Roman governor Pollione, and had two children. By this time, Polion had fallen in love with the young priestess Adalgisa and planned to flee to Rome with her. As a good friend of Norma, Adalgiza confessed to Norma with a sense of guilt. Norma was so angry that she wanted to kill the two children, but she couldn't bear to do so, so she asked Adalgiza to give them to Polion. Adalgiza was moved by Norma and said that he would definitely reject Polion. But Polion was in love with Adalgiza, and Norma was once again enraged and declared a fight. After Pollion was captured to pick up Adalgiza, Norma told Pollion that if she gave up Adalgiza, she would rather die than save him. Polion preferred to die himself, and asked Norma to forgive Adalgiza. Norma angrily declared that Adalgiza must be sacrificed to the gods. Eventually, Norma sentenced a woman who had betrayed her country to death in the name of God, and that woman turned out to be herself. She bravely walked to the stake. Polion is finally touched by her love and goes to death together. This is an epic tragedy about true love and ruin, but it is difficult to understand the painful emotions of love, friendship and betrayal mixed with country, family affection and religion in the 15-minute piano piece "Norma's Memories".
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't dare to listen to the sound of the piano intertwined with passion and sorrow, so he went to the restaurant. After eating something hastily, Cheng Xiaoyu went back to the room, thinking about what other suitable songs could be used. Cheng Xiaoyu wrote a score with a messy brain, went downstairs to look at the recording studio that was about to be completed, went to bed, and returned to that familiar time and space in his dream, and met those familiar people again.
When he got up early in the morning, Cheng Xiaoyu went to the Fudan piano room to practice after breakfast, and he didn't dare to slack off at all about practicing. Especially after recognizing the gap between him and Su Yuxi. Cheng Xiaoyu concentrated on practicing until noon, then casually found something to eat and went to the Lamp Forest.
Cheng Xiaoyu thought that he had arrived early, but he was still the last to arrive, Cheng Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly, didn't say anything, and walked to the keyboard to signal to start rehearsal.
Obviously, Xia Shamo went back last night and practiced the newly written songs, and she sang much better today than yesterday.
The four of them tirelessly lined up for an afternoon, and for most of the rest of the time, Cheng Xiaoyu asked Xia Shamo to sing in a small voice, pay attention to the time of entry, and the feeling of synergy with the band is good.
When it was almost dinner time, Xia Shamo pedaled her bicycle home to cook again, Cheng Xiaoyu sent a text message to Xia Shamo, "Remember to change your contact lenses at night, I brought cosmetics, help you draw a little, and be sure to wear a school uniform!" ”
"Wearing a school uniform? Why? Xia Shamo was a little surprised, she originally wanted to wear her mother's original clothes and dress up more maturely.
Cheng Xiaoyu is not good at explaining to Xia Shamo specifically, don't the barang boys love the tune of the student girl, seeing the peerless demon Xia Shamo in a student uniform, no matter how good she sings, she is invincible! He couldn't tell Xia Shamo directly about his dirty thoughts, so he replied, "Aren't we a student orchestra!" To highlight the theme, wearing a school uniform is the most eye-catching. ”
Of course, Xia Shamo didn't understand the mentality of old men who love **, and replied, "Okay." See you later. "Cheng Xiaoyu hasn't been going back since he received it.
Huang Yong took Cheng Xiaoyu, Wang Ou and Chen Haoran to eat "Come to a Bowl", which is known as the most bullish rice bowl in Jiaotong University. Because some faculties have not yet been on vacation, there are not a few people here at Jiaotong University. In addition to Chen Haoran, who was not open-minded, the other three slings were overwhelmed with the beauties they met, and Cheng Xiaoyu could not see much, and basically failed. Huang Yong and Wang Ou are not very demanding, they are all beautiful women with straight buttocks and big breasts, and Cheng Xiaoyu is also speechless, thinking of Su Yuxi's debate with himself yesterday, I have to admit that most men are lower body animals like what Su Yuxi said.
When the four of them finished their rice bowl and returned to the Forest of Lights, there were posters about their orchestra performances at the door of the bar. The photo is a photo of Xia Shamo standing in the spotlight and singing during the New Year's Day art show provided by Wang Ou, and it cannot be said that Wang Ou's photo is very good.
In the photo, Xia Shamo is holding the microphone stand with both hands, the diamond teardrops on her face are flashing with dazzling colors, her eyes are flowing with gentle staring ahead, the body line wrapped in the pearlescent white cheongsam is exquisite, and the crystal shoes under her feet add an incomparable queen fan! Cheng Xiaoyu and Chen Haoran have of course become insignificant backgrounds.
In the big black characters at the bottom, the strongest orchestra in Shanghai colleges and universities, "The Crown of Crime", will be with you at 9 o'clock today in the Forest of Lights! Reservations: 021-XXXXXXXXX.
Wang Ou admired his masterpiece very much, standing at the door and smirking at the photo.
Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head with a smile and went to the basement with Chen Haoran.
