Chapter 27: The band's first practice
The afternoon of the next day was the first official rehearsal time agreed by the Naruto band. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Did you read my appointment post on the school BBS last night?" As soon as the band members arrived, Hua Ming asked everyone this question.
"Look, those people's words are so excessive, even I can't help but go up and scold them." The first to speak was Teresa Teng, who still looked angry.
"Hua Ming, we support you in making an appointment." Bassist Li Tiantian also followed suit to express his support.
"Captain, what do you need me to do, you just say it." Even the introverted rock singer Zhou Yiwei boldly expressed his position.
……
"Well, since everyone is not afraid to fight, then I will talk about my thinking first." Hua Ming glanced at everyone very seriously and spoke.
"This appointment post, I am equivalent to pushing the band to the precipice, winning, there is heaven ahead, we will become popular in the school, losing, it is hell, we will be discredited. However, since the Naruto band has set a lofty goal, then we must go off the beaten path, and we have no way back from this challenge! ”
After saying these words, Hua Ming paused a little so that everyone could digest it.
"We don't have much time left, I only set aside a little more than a month for you, which means that in just over this month, we have to master at least 50 songs of different styles, and we have to make the first one wonderful."
Hua Ming paused again, because as soon as this number came out, it would put a lot of pressure on everyone, and it was almost an impossible task.
"As a result, our rehearsal workload has to be heavier, and everyone may have to sacrifice all their rest time. Especially Teresa Teng and Zhou Yiwei, you must also stay and practice with me at night. ”
For the other musicians in the band, Hua Ming is actually not very worried, because the band has two masters, him and Xiao Haitian, as the skeleton, and they should soon be proficient and integrated, but the singing skills of the two singers are really not satisfactory, and he needs to hone them himself.
Everyone expressed their obedience to this arrangement.
For everyone's understanding and support, Huaming is very satisfied. For the pursuit of dreams, hard work and dedication are necessary, and it seems that everyone has this awareness.
"Let's start practicing "I Wish People Were Long", this is the track I will sing in the Singer Grand Prix tomorrow, and after tomorrow, this song will be changed to a female version, sung by Teresa Teng. I'll sing first today, Teresa Teng, you learn it on the side, and you'll try to sing it in a while. ”
Hua Ming took out another stack of music scores and distributed them to everyone, which was "I Wish People Were Long", which he had completely arranged and scored.
Because the rest of the band had not seen this score yet, Hua Ming walked to the electronic piano first, and he will use the electronic piano to walk the main theme for the first time, and the keyboardist Zheng Minjian will take a sheet of music and familiarize himself with the score next to him first.
Because this song is arranged according to Hua Ming, it is originally based on the melody of the electronic organ, and the scores of rhythm guitar and bass are relatively not too complicated, so guitarist Song Xiaofei and bassist Li Tiantian both directly entered the first joint practice.
Because Hua Ming and Xiao Haitian were there, the band's first joint practice was quite successful, except for Hua Ming himself, who was still a little dissatisfied, everyone else burst into warm applause.
Although it is the first time for everyone to hear this song, the lyrics are familiar to everyone, and the tune of this song is so beautiful, and Hua Ming's singing is impeccable. For everyone, it is a complete pleasure to hear such a beautiful song.
"What is the composer inexplicable? Isn't this song written by you? Xiao Haitian found a problem and pointed to the composer on the score and asked Hua Ming.
The song "I Wish People Were Long" completed by Hua Ming himself, the signature of the composer is inexplicable, the lyrics are Su Shi, and the arrangement is Hua Ming, so Xiao Haitian asked so curiously.
This is the second time he has seen the name Inexplicable, and the composer on yesterday's "Red Dragonfly" is also inexplicable.
"In the future, many of the original songs that I will release will be published under the name of inexplicable, and only a few will be signed with my own name."
Regarding this question, Hua Ming came up with a statement that he had already considered.
"You're thinking weirdly." Xiao Haitian muttered, and then stopped asking.
Such a beautiful song turned out to be Huaming's original? How talented is he?
After listening to the conversation between the two, everyone became more confident in the future of the band.
The third-rate band plays covers, the second-rate band plays the style, and the first-class band plays the original, this is a truth that everyone in the circle understands, as soon as the Naruto band was established, it went to the road of playing original, this step is not ordinary!
At this time, keyboardist Zheng Minjian signaled that he could try to practice the song together.
For a musician with deep skills, reading and playing music is a necessary ability, so Zheng Minjian's quick start is expected by Hua Ming.
Therefore, Hua Ming picked up another electric guitar and motioned to Song Xiaofei to pay attention to his guitar performance, and he wanted to demonstrate to Song Xiaofei.
The second joint practice was also successful, Zheng Minjian's performance was decent, and he should be able to improve after becoming proficient.
For the third time, Hua Ming took over the electric bass from Li Tiantian, and he wanted to demonstrate the details of the bass performance to Li Tiantian.
For the fourth and fifth times, the ensemble practice of this song finally tends to be perfect.
The sixth time, Hua Ming used the guitar to improvise some harmony in the joint practice, and the joint practice was finally perfect.
The speed of this joint practice, don't be too fast!
Everyone began to feel that with Hua Ming's metamorphosis, it seems that it is not an impossible task to be proficient in 50 songs in more than a month.
At this time, Teresa Teng said that she wanted to audition this song.
Okay, Hua Ming gave up the position of the main microphone and notified everyone to lower the key and return to the original female tone of the song.
The music sounded again, the lead singer became Teresa Teng, and Hua Ming improvised some harmony through another microphone.
The effect is also good, Teresa Teng's performance is decent, but her timbre is really good, this song is really suitable for her, of course, her performance naturally can't be compared with Hua Ming's perversion.
That's everyone's opinion.
However, Hua Ming was not satisfied. Teresa Teng's timbre is good, but her singing skills are not satisfactory, and she is still far from Hua Ming's requirements.
You have to practice her hard alone at night!
After practicing two more times, I began to practice the second song, the rock-style ballad "Red Dragonfly".
The ensemble practice of this song went more smoothly than "May People Last", because everyone was already familiar with this song yesterday.
The first time he sang it by himself, and the second time, he handed over the lead singer position to Zhou Zhouwei.
This kid must also practice Monday!
This is another idea of Hua Ming, for the requirements of music, he is the pursuit of perfection.
The other members of the band basically have no major problems, everyone's basic skills are very good, with Hua Ming's own demonstration and guidance, some small flaws were quickly improved.
The band went into a halfway break.
