Chapter 89: The Tavern is not plugged in

He Yu didn't stay up late, Fang Yan fell asleep as soon as he left. But her sleep was very poor, she had nightmares, and when she got up the next morning, she really had dark circles under her eyes.

On Wednesday, she didn't stay in the hotel, but asked Fang Yan to go to a music company together and borrow someone's rehearsal room to sing. An hour later, she was in despair.

The state is very poor, not as good as the night before.

He Yu's voice lacked explosiveness, and she deliberately imitated Fang Yan's relaxed feeling, which was very awkward. She is not good at the style of these songs, she is very tight, coupled with emotional anxiety, and sings a mess.

It's a battle between man and song, and the singer has to control the song, or be led by the song.

He Yu said: "It's all your fault, why did I come to Jiangdong so early?"

Fang Yan was speechless, eldest sister, you came here on your own initiative without saying a word, and you didn't discuss it with me beforehand, so it has nothing to do with me, right?

At this point, he had to patiently comfort her: "You are too nervous, relax, for example, the feeling of singing in the shower." ”

"Take a bath, rascal!"

“……”

He Yu is a very kind person. But she is in a very bad mood now, and she is familiar with Fang Yan again, so she suddenly becomes quite unreasonable. She rolled the copied sheet music into a roll and slapped it in the palm of her hand.

"What kind of song did you write? Why are you so violent? Are you mentally dark and want to see a doctor? And your guitar, what kind of nonsense do you play?"

“……”

"Well, I forgive you. He Yu said angrily. "Whatever you want to eat, order it!"

Fang Yan found that there was no end to the degree of unreasonableness of this person. Speaking of which, He Yu was the first really unreasonable person he met after he was released from prison.

"Let's go, let's eat outside. ”

He Yu was afraid of being recognized, so he put on a blonde wig and big sunglasses, much like Faye Wong's tone in Wong Kar-wai's movie "ZQ Forest". The two had dinner, and Fang Yan took He Yu to the Nameless Tavern. He felt that the attic environment when he taught Kong Lei was very good.

"Thank you, Lao Liu. He Yu smiled and walked briskly up the stairs.

Fang Yan talked to Lao Liu about the rehearsal, and also followed upstairs.

"Actually......" Lao Liu looked up at the stairs and hesitated for a long time, but didn't say anything more.

The Nameless Tavern also has a more suitable place to practice singing.

……

Early on Friday morning, the original crew of He Yu's concert arrived. Music director Chen Jihai, tuner Damai, and Xu Yong, who came to see the excitement, and other 5 band members.

Barley was visiting the Nameless Tavern for the first time, mainly to help watch the recording environment. The acoustic design and decoration of the tavern are very in place, and the walls are all sound-absorbing materials, the sound is clear and transparent, and the noise is very small. He was surprised, it was a bit too professional.

Saturday, 12 p.m.

The nameless tavern hung a wooden sign for resting. Doors and windows are locked.

There were 50 He Yu's fans sitting in the room, all of whom were quietly summoned by the company from the Jiangdong City Singers Club, and there was no spread of news. The audience is evenly distributed across age groups.

The Waste Wood Band is collectively impulsive, Yang Zhenyu is still studying nervously, and he does not want to miss this opportunity. Yuan Yuan and Qian Ning sat on the floor, and Xiao Mu also walked out of the bar for the first time and sat in the audience.

The bar was vacated and left for sound engineers Damai and Chen Jihai.

Wang Yu set up his iPhone and aimed at the stage.

Everyone's phones are turned off. Chen Jihai made a guest appearance as the host and introduced the rules of recording in very non-standard Mandarin.

"Thank you!"

After Chen Jihai finished speaking, the audience erupted in warm applause and cheers, and the bands of Weng Tianxu and Xu Yong whistled loudly. Big Mac was recording the applause of the audience, several times.

In the middle of the night, when it was silent, everyone in the tavern was full of curiosity and anticipation.

Everything is ready, except for He Yu.

He Yu rehearsed frantically for three days, staying at the bottom, and no longer had the confidence he had at the beginning. She slowly walked down the stairs, glanced blankly at the audience in the tavern, and asked Chen Jihai pitifully, "Where's my Mike?"

"Just use the wheat here. Chen Jihai also looked anxious and whispered. This nameless tavern is wicked, everything is set up just right, not like a normal bar.

"Oh. ”

He Yu didn't sing again on Saturday, she slept all day, and when she woke up, she also had something to eat.

She slowly walked onto the stage.

The distance between the fans and the idol was only a few meters, and everyone cheered and screamed: "He Yu!"

He Yu smiled slightly bitterly, lifted his spirits again, and said into the microphone, "Good evening, everyone." We're going to record a live album tonight, and your voices will stay on my album. ”

"Oh oh!" everyone applauded again.

Fang Yan sat in the left corner of the stage, slightly sideways to He Yu. There was only one mike in front of him, aimed at the guitar sound hole.

"Today's song was written by this person. He Yu turned his head to introduce Fang Yan and glared at him.

The audience cheered again: "Stone!"

Everyone on the Internet calls him a wizard, and only He Yu's fans follow the idol and call him Stone. Fang Yan waited for the applause to quiet down, glanced at Yuan Yuan in the audience, and said to the audience: "If she doesn't sing well tonight, you don't want to leave, and you won't be able to leave at dawn." ”

Fang Yan was telling the truth, he was very pessimistic. chatted with Chen Jihai and them before, and everyone felt that they had to record all night. But fans thought he was joking, and they all burst into laughter.

"We don't want to go!"

"He Yu, sing until dawn!"

"Hi together!"

At the beginning, He Yu sang the fifth song of "The First Night", called "The Woods".

He Yu sang: "Take the train first, then take the bus, get on the fishing boat, and you will see the woods." ”

Every word in Chinese is a syllable, and in this song, the sentences are very short, but each word is dragged long, melodious and scattered.

Inspired by a low-budget horror movie called "Blair the Witch," this song "The Woods" hides a ghostly mysterious power deep in the woods outside the town, where several college students go deep into the woods and die unexpectedly. The goblin never appeared.

After singing a sentence, He Yu's singing style changed. She is like a broken can, indulgent and free. After 3 days of torture, He Yu completely let go.

The rougher the sound, the more control is needed. Her singing style actually matches the feeling of this song.

"Deep, deep, woods~~~~~ tear your dangerous ......"

In the chorus, the guitar becomes violent and ferocious, and He Yu's voice is mixed with the turbulent sound of the piano, which is equally ferocious, but secretly contains a trace of pity and tenderness.

Nothing that is too tough or too strong lasts, and everything in the world is like that, and singing is no exception. He Yu's singing style really brings layers and depth, and integrates the feminine softness and dangerous singing voice, which is very special.

When she was at her worst, she unlocked a new direction.

After singing the song, the audience was shocked. No one expected that the style of this song was completely different from the past, is He Yu going to transform?

The atmosphere in the tavern has changed. Before, the audience knew that they wanted to record, and they all listened to the song calmly, but now they are all noisy and enjoy the music.

The audience's feedback gave He Yu confidence, and the next songs were all over again, and her state was getting better and better.

Like a lark, like a lioness.

There are no drums and basses, just an unplugged guitar and a single vocal, making for the simplest and toughest rock 'n' roll.

"The First Night" was recorded in 40 minutes.

Fang Yan rushed out of the tavern and smoked a cigarette at the door. He doesn't have a craving for cigarettes, and he smokes up to 5 cigarettes a day, but now he really needs one.

"What the hell is going on?" Yuan Yuan also ran out, a little surprised. She also watched He Yu's rehearsal before, and it was not this taste at all.

Fang Yan said: "She is a live singer, a performance-type singer, and she is excited when there are many people. ”

That's right, He Yu is still unsatisfied, and he continues to sing his own songs and other people's songs in the tavern, and has been playing with fans for a long time.

The recording of the live album was very successful, and director Chen Jihai said that the company would finalize the release time as soon as possible, and before that, there would be someone to sign a contract with Fang Yan for the song.

At noon on Saturday, He Yu and his entourage quietly left Jiangdong. Fang Yan and Lao Liu went to the airport to see them off.

Lao Liu couldn't close his mouth happily, and when he said goodbye, he grabbed He Yu and didn't let go. Not only did he take 30,000 yuan in venue fees, but He Yu's concert also made the nameless tavern famous.
