Chapter 16: The First Joint Practice
On Saturday, the sky was clear and the festival was only three weeks away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Fang Yuchen, Ming Chuhan, Xia Han, Jimmy, and Butler gathered in a large room that was simply decorated under Ming Chuhan.
It was originally an independent workshop, which was originally rented by an independent band to rehearse, and there were other buildings nearly 100 meters away, so there was no need for noise to disturb others.
When all the people entered this small building, in the newly decorated and spacious hall, there were several large sofas, and in the open space in the middle were placed drum kits, classical guitars, folk guitars, electric guitars, basses, keyboards, and a bird brand piano, which is the most famous piano brand in China, most of them are new, and the guitars are the original ones of Han and Xia Han in the early Ming Dynasty.
"Oh God, this is the best bass ever," Butler saw the bass and immediately picked it up and played with it.
The keyboard was Downs's, and Jimmy was immediately fiddling.
"I didn't see it, little rich woman, you are."
Fang Yuchen looked around and exclaimed, and at the same time felt Ming Chuhan's trust in him, even with the few songs he had already written, pressing the treasure on him could be regarded as decisive.
Of course, some people may also say that this is a big gamble, and success or failure depends on the result.
To be honest, Fang Yuchen didn't expect that Ming Chuhan rented such a big place, for a start-up band, everything here was really too luxurious.
"Brother Yuchen, I absolutely trust you, and the time to show your strength is now."
Ming Chuhan immediately let the pressure out, she rented the rehearsal space, and the personnel were all in place, so it was up to Fang Yuchen to come up with what kind of new songs.
Xia Han watched the show with a smile on the side.
Fang Yuchen smiled and took out two music scores, he handed one to Ming Chuhan and one to Xia Han.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Han opened it and looked at it, and it turned out to be the song score of two books, the first song hated to see each other, and the second song was the end of the world.
The first lyrics of Ming Chuhan read a few words and she fell in,
You have a strange face
I didn't see it until today
A little sad between us
γγγγ
Ming Chuhan just read the first few sentences, and the lyrics containing true feelings made her heart churn, something caught her heart.
She raised her head and looked at the handsome man who was looking at her slightly, how did he write it, did the lyrics contain too much emotion, and it was even more difficult to use lyrics and music to interpret this artistic conception, is it given by broken love.
Ming Chuhan began to hum, and she was obsessed with the period for a while, sometimes frowning and sometimes smilingγγγγγ
Xia Han also received two song scores, one is Wildflowers, she has heard this a long time ago, and she knows that this should be a song sung by a female singer, Fang Yuchen seems to be planning to let her sing, the second song is those flowers, and the third song is that you are also here.
Xia Han couldn't wait to look at the third song, and after reading the lyrics, she looked at Fang Yuchen with complicated eyes, which made Fang Yuchen feel inexplicable, what kind of eyes.
Then Xia Han also fell into humming like Ming Chuhan, her head was very rhythmic little by little, and she stopped to think about it from time to time.
Well, it seemed that there was nothing to do with him now, and he walked towards the tease of playing bass, and Butler was now hanging bass obliquely, his eyes half-open and half-closed, his fingers flicking, his body swinging, and the moxican on his head, the whole thing was possessed by a madman.
Fang Yuchen's face twitched, forget it, he still looked at that one was normal.
"Jimmy, what have you been doing in the past two months since Bell signed to fly solo?" Fang Yuchen sat next to Jimmy, who was fiddling with the keyboard.
"We went and did the other band a favor, and it was interesting to be with us, but Butler hated that their lead singer was too scummy, so ...
Jimmy shrugged.
"Both of my friends are novices, so he won't pick on them." Fang Yuchen looked at the mad demon who was shaking his hips frantically.
"Both of them are big beauties, how is it possible, you know." Jimmy raised an eyebrow.
"That's my friend, he can't see it, and the tease may not be pleasant, forget it, don't mention him, do you plan to take a good walk when you come back this time."
Compared with that joke, Fang Yuchen called Jimmy is a sentence, it should be a family to see, Jimmy has always longed for China, he is a descendant of the second generation of immigrants, and he has never set foot on the land of China, so he is very yearning.
Fang Yuchen also did what he liked in order to hook these two, but fortunately, they all worked.
"Well, seeing this yard and these small decorative pieces, I have this idea even more, and this is also the purpose of my visit." Jimmy looked out the door longingly, and from the open gate he could see the courtyard in a very Chinese style.
Fang Yuchen felt a slight pride in his heart, if these two companions didn't have their own weaknesses, he really couldn't seduce them.
Fang Yuchen left Jimmy and Butler two scores for them to study, for those who have been exposed to blues, country, rock, and rap, these songs are not difficult, Butler said with an underbeaten expression, easy.
"How long have you been writing these songs?" Seeing Fang Yuchen coming, Ming Chuhan looked at him with a slightly curious look with a music sheet in his hand, this person has now broken her consistent understanding that good skins are often straw bales.
"Not long, three years." Fang Yuchen can only answer like this, the product of the process of studying abroad, anyone who asks in the future will have this answer.
Although many songs are in his mind, he has finished all these songs like repairing cultural relics, who said that it is an easy thing to stand up, Fang Yuchen promised not to kill him.
"These songs are worth it for three years." Ming Chuhan applauded lightly, she really admired, the lyrics of these songs were obviously carefully carved, people who had no experience and no ideas couldn't write them at all, the melodies were beautiful and the style was obviously different, it was obvious that Fang Yuchen was not only good at one genre.
"It's the most pop song I've ever seen." Xia Hanyu patted her hand lightly and also joined the ranks of praising Fang Yuchen.
"It's over, and the final effect can only be seen after Hyun, our time is quite tight, let's start now."
Fang Yuchen clapped his hands towards a few people.
The song Tianya, which was rehearsed first, is a song sung by another plane love orchestra, with a fast rhythm and catchy lyrics, which is the most accepted song type by the audience at the music festival, and the relative difficulty of singing is really not too great.
However, Fang Yuchen was not too satisfied with the original part of the chorus, and this part should be modified.
Funny dancing bass, this guy is really dancing, Jimmy controls the keyboard, Fang Yuchen sits behind the drum kit, and Xia Han plucks the electric guitar, and the four of them start their first joint practice.
Xia Han was in school and only joined a band composed of all girls in the school, but it didn't exist for a long time, and later this all-girl band didn't PK a band composed of all male classmates.
Her guitar level is enough to support the heavy responsibility of the guitarist, but the bassist and drummer in the band are a little worse, which is indeed a relatively weak link for girls, and in the end, the band is also dying.
Therefore, Xia Han quickly entered the state, the first time she had few mistakes and omissions, and the second time was that the cooperation with Fang Yuchen and others was extremely compatible, quite tacit.
The whole fast-paced piece is not very difficult, and it was quite smooth for Fang Yuchen and others, and the whole dynamic rhythm gave Ming Chuhan who was watching from the side a good enjoyment.
The third time Ming Chuhan went on stage to practice with everyone, and the beginning of the chorus was accompanied by Xia Han's electric guitar in the early Ming Dynasty, and when it came to the main song part, Fang Yuchen and others joined in.
After two times, Ming Chuhan understood this song thoroughly, this song already has a look, Ming Chuhan's interpretation of this song is relaxed and happy, in fact, this song does not fully show her timbre and vocal range, but it is enough as a music festival track.
After three times of joint practice, Butler and Jimmy gave a thumbs up to Ming Chuhan, the band's joint practice is most afraid of encountering a singer who is not strong in musicality, so the band has to accompany the continuous practice, and the tired ******** on the last day.
Not to mention the singing voice, it is a blessing for the band members to meet a singer with a good sense of musicality.
Fang Yuchen didn't join the praise, he was thinking about something, Ming Chuhan pursed his lips and looked at this de facto boss, it seems that Xiao Fang has other ideas.
"Xia Han, you sing the chorus part at the beginning." Fang Yuchen looked at Xia Han.
"Me." Xia Han was a little surprised, at this time, it was not too popular for others to sing in the chorus, so Xia Han didn't expect Fang Yuchen to make this arrangement.
"It's you, you sing it." Fang Yuchen smiled and nodded.
"Then who plays the guitar," Xia Han was surprised.
"It's still you."
"Is this appropriate?" Xia Han hasn't seen such an arrangement in China, but she has such an arrangement when she watches some foreign albums, but she is relieved when she thinks about Fang Yuchen's turtle identity, "Okay, I'll try." β
Xia Han's singing while playing really gave this song another artistic conception, Xia Han's singing voice is clear, and there will be a more obvious difference from the main song of Ming Chuhan in the back, and Ming Chuhan watched Xia Han play the lyrics in front of him, and the style was much higher.
The last two joint exercises went very smoothly, and in the main song part, Ming Chuhan only needs to follow Fang Yuchen's drumbeat, Fang Yuchen's drum rhythm is excellent, leading Ming Chuhan to sing smoothly.
"Okay, good, it's over, take a break, and move on." Fang Yuchen ended with a quick drum beat. Ming Chuhan gave Fang Yuchen a thumbs up, and Fang Yuchen smiled slightly.
Butler and Jimmy didn't think the song was too difficult, it was very average.
γγγγγγγ
At six o'clock in the evening, in the upstairs bedroom of the rented house in the early Ming Dynasty, two beautiful women were lying on their backs on a huge bed without an image.
"Hey, singing turned out to be a physical job, this damn Fang Yuchen." At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Han Pill's head was scattered, and she hugged Xia Han tightly, as if Xia Han could give them strength.
"The main thing is that Brother Chen wants to teach us how to perform on stage and attract the attention of the audience, which we are really not good at."
Xia Han was also lying comfortably, she closed her eyes and rested, she still said a fair word to Fang Yuchen.
"Yo, it's so numb, I've only known each other for a long time, and I'm Brother Chen." Ming Chu Han laughed.
"Originally, he was two or three years older than us, so he didn't call Brother Chen." Xia Han said angrily, her face flushed.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Han Ying's lips leaned against Xia Han's ear, and the breath she spewed made Xia Han itch, and the words she said made Xia Han's face red, "To be honest, is it Sichun." β
Xia Han turned around and reached out to Ming Chuhan's armpit, and the two laughed together.
The mobile phone rang, Lu Li and Zhao Nianxia, who had been shopping in the city for a day, were coming, the new house was put into use, and the four of them made an appointment to make a new house together.
"Hey, Lu Li, we're too tired to walk, you can bring some fast food by the way."
"Oh, we're really not done, Xia Han and I are lying on the bed."
"You're just lace, well, hurry up, you're going to starve."
Putting down the phone, Ming Chuhan sighed, "It's done, it's not easy to eat." β
Lu Li and Zhao Nianxia arrived with fast food and were immediately stopped by this place.
"I said Chu Han, you are putting all your money on this."
Lu Li touched the shiny piano paint and exclaimed.
"Now there are less than 100,000 yuan, enough for more than a semester, the rest are here, the rent is for one year, and the music festival is not good for singing, so Xia Han and I sing in the square every day."
Ming Chuhan grimaced.
"Okay, courageous, stronger than me." Lu Li gave a thumbs up very proudly.
"Chu Han, isn't it too risky."
Zhao Nianxia asked worriedly.
They all knew that Ming Chuhan's family had cut off half of her tuition and living expenses, in order to force her to obey the family's arrangement, hoping that she could marry the son of the richest family in Foshan.
Ming Chuhan can have all the money she has now, which was secretly given to her by her mother, but that's all.
But after knowing that the other party was a poisonous gentleman, he flatly refused, ran out of the house, and hadn't been home for a year.
"Risk, don't take a risk," said this, Ming Chuhan's face glowed, "Listen." β
Ming Chuhan put down his chopsticks and hummed a few words about seeing each other late.
"It's really a good song, it's definitely not an adventure, I support you, but you're really good at the beginning of the cold."
Lu Li showed obvious envy, jealousy, and hatred. She's such an exposed person.
"Didn't you say that that genius also rented around here, it's not far away."
Zhao Nianxia was curious.
"It's not far, it's just a mile away, and we'll make a fuss with him after dinner."
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the cold pointed to the north.
After eating, in the cool evening breeze, the four of them laughed and walked towards the north, on the way Ming Chuhan pointed out, this is the residence of the young painter, and that is the model's studio.
When they were less than fifty meters away from Fang Yuchen's residence, a faint sound of guitar came.
Ming Chuhan listened attentively, "It's him playing, let's go listen to it." β
The four girls didn't speak at this time, they quietly came to a dozen meters outside Fang Yuchen's house, listening to the sound of guitars coming from above.
After a while, they heard that Fang Yuchen was composing the music, first playing it for a while, and then playing it by half a beat, one moment slower, one time faster.
After playing it over and over again for nearly an hour, the piece was finally finished.
"It's hard work." Xia Han looked at the brightly lit window, "He was also very tired from guiding us and the band in the afternoon, and I wasn't very energetic when I looked away." β
"Well, it's more dedicated than we are." Ming Chuhan stuck out his tongue in surprise.
The two of them remembered that the two of them were lying lazily on the bed, and the meals were all delivered by Lu Li, and they were very ashamed, and the two looked at each other embarrassedly and smiled.
The four of them are going to leave, such a dedicated person is embarrassed to go up and make trouble for a while, this is what Xia Han proposed, that is, he has to go.
At this moment, a new guitar song played, and after a short while, the four of them found that Fang Yuchen had started to revise the new music again.
"That's how genius is made." Zhao Nianxia said meaningfully.
The four of them looked in admiration at the lighted window on the second floor.
