Chapter 8: Amazing Guitar
Zhang Huawei is the president of the Shonan Normal Pop Music Association, and also the president of the Shonan Normal Dayi City Association, and Chen Yanbin's authentic hometown. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In colleges and universities, local associations are informal but typical community organizations.
Generally speaking, in schools, where there are few people, the province is the unit, the place with a large number of people is based on the prefecture and city, and the place with a large number of people is the county and city as the unit, and the regional township association is formed. There may also be vertical links or up-and-down relationships between alumni associations at all levels.
As a kind of informal community organization that is not very tightly organized, once it is established, it will be passed down from generation to generation, and often organize some social activities among fellow villagers in the school.
Every year, when new students enter the school, it is the time when the activities of the hometown association are most frequent. This is because when new students first enter the school, they are most confused, the most unfamiliar with the school, and the most need for help and guidance from others.
At this time, the role of the hometown association is reflected. They will give the new students the most needed help at critical times, so that the new students will have a sense of belonging to their fellow villagers, so that the hometown associations can be passed on and continued in the school for a long time.
At the same time, the association will also provide a lot of opportunities for everyone to develop interpersonal relationships, and compared with other relationships, this kind of regional relationship may be easier for people to feel close.
When he was still in military training, Zhang Huawei brought some people to find Chen Yanbin, and after taking him to participate in several activities, the relationship between the two sides quickly became familiar and intimate.
For Hua Ming, the hometown association seems to be a very distant concept.
I don't know if it's because that Hun Qiu is too famous in Xinhua, Xinhua villager obviously has a fellow villager association in Xiangnan Normal University, but no one came to him.
In this regard, a feeling that I am a lonely person suddenly surged into Hua Ming's heart.
When Chen Yanbin took Hua Ming to the regular event venue of the Pop Music Association, Zhang Huawei was already waiting for them there because of the phone in advance, and there were some other people present, who were playing music.
As the new president of the Pop Music Association, Zhang Huawei is naturally a person who likes music. Now in his third year of college, he knows most of the wonderful music lovers in the school, and he also has a group of friends who often exchange music together.
As a formal large-scale club recognized by the school, the Pop Music Association has a fixed large-scale activity venue provided by the school, which is not only the office of the association, but also a place for everyone to play music together.
Zhang Huawei, of course, first took Huaming to sign up.
It is really easy to have acquaintances, and the matter of signing up has become very simple, and, in Zhang Huawei's mouth, Huaming also knows a lot of things about the competition in advance.
The Campus Singer Grand Prix is indeed a large-scale competition with great influence at Shonan Normal University, and so far, the number of applicants has exceeded 500. Therefore, the first place in the competition will be the audition.
The form of the audition Hua Ming is naturally very clear, Hua Ming in his previous life, for his music dream, but he has participated in various types of competitions, and auditions are already commonplace for him.
Due to the large number of applicants, the audition will be completed in two days this weekend, and several music rooms will be arranged at the same time.
The audition process was brutal. Through the audition, only about 1 in 10 contestants will have a chance to enter the subsequent semi-finals, which means that only about 50 of the more than 500 people who have signed up have a chance to enter the semi-finals.
What is particularly cruel is that in the audition process, the participating singers cannot make any mistakes, and if they make a mistake, the singing will be immediately terminated by the judges, which means that they have lost the opportunity to advance.
It is also cruel that if the contestants themselves have poor timbre conditions and are not at home, they will not have the opportunity to sing the whole song.
The audition was naturally a piece of cake for Hua Ming, but another trivial thing stumped him. That is, when you register, you need to confirm the song you will participate in the audition.
This is indeed a difficult thing for Hua Ming.
The reason for this is that those pop songs in this world are all unfamiliar to Hua Ming, because he comes from another parallel world, and he really hasn't had the time and opportunity to become familiar with these songs.
As for that Hun Qiu, he and his mother are learning ethnic singing, and in order to cope with the exam, most of the songs they learn are national songs, and the popularity of the Hun Qiu is really very limited.
If you use a folk song to participate in a pop singer competition, it is estimated that you will die a miserable death. Hua Ming is very clear about this.
In music, the national is not necessarily popular, and there is still a long, long way to go in this regard.
What a muddy ball, wasting such good musical conditions in vain! Thinking of this, Hua Ming couldn't help but resent that muddy ball.
"I haven't thought about the song yet, can I confirm it later?" In desperation, Hua Ming had no choice but to ask Zhang Huawei for help.
The advantage of having acquaintances lies in this, Zhang Huawei agreed very happily, and left his mobile phone number to Hua Ming, so that he could determine the song before the audition.
After registering, Zhang Huawei warmly invited Hua Ming and Chen Yanbin to participate in the ongoing music exchange meeting.
His understanding is very simple, since Hua Ming has the courage to participate in the Campus Singer Grand Prix, he is naturally a lover of music, and as the head of the Pop Music Association, he will naturally not let go of any opportunity to tap new people and like-minded people.
Hua Ming had no choice but to agree, and followed Zhang Huawei into another music practice room.
There were seven or eight people sitting around the practice room, both men and women, a long-haired boy with black-rimmed glasses playing and singing with a guitar, and the others listening quietly.
Hua Ming also quietly found a place to sit down and listened quietly.
To be honest, according to Hua Ming's judgment, the level of the boy who is playing and singing now is already good among the students, so after the end of the song, Hua Ming also followed everyone to applause.
Zhang Huawei introduced Hua Ming and Chen Yanbin to everyone.
Maybe because Hua Ming is a new student, the people here have a very flat reaction to their arrival.
Hua Ming didn't care about this, talented people are a little arrogant, and these people present are probably the better people who play music in the school, so they will naturally look down on newcomers a little.
The show continues, it's just a substitution. This kind of small music exchange meeting, the basic format is similar, usually everyone takes turns to sing, and then other people give comments to promote common progress.
During the rest of the performance, Hua Ming just listened quietly, and gave warm applause when it was time to applaud, but did not express any opinions. The crowd basically ignored his existence.
After the end of the first round, Zhang Huawei spoke up again: "Huaming, since you are going to participate in the singing competition, it is estimated that you also have a certain level, or will you show your hand to everyone now?" ”
Everyone performed, and if Hua Ming only listened and didn't act, it would be a bit unkind. Hua Ming thought about it and was about to agree to perform one.
"Forget about the newcomers, don't waste everyone's time."
Just as Hua Ming was about to speak, someone present suddenly burst out with such a sentence. Hua Ming turned his head and saw that it was the black-rimmed long-haired boy who sang at the beginning.
This person's name is Kang Dahai, and he is the captain of the school's well-known Red Dragonfly Band, as well as the band's lead singer and guitarist. In this group of people, his level is indeed relatively good.
Your sister, even if you look down on newcomers, why do you have to say it, why do you have to say it so ugly.
Hua Ming became angry when he heard it, if it was according to the temper of that muddy ball, it would definitely be a slap and fanned it directly, but fortunately, the current Hua Ming is not the muddy ball before, and he still has to take care of Zhang Huawei's face.
However, no matter how gentlemanly people are, they all have tempers, Hua Ming was angry, and said coldly: "Do you think your level is very good!" ”
Originally, Hua Ming hadn't decided what he wanted to perform, but now he had an idea, and he was determined to stir his face in the aspect that Kang Dahai thought he was very good.
Hua Ming decided to give everyone a guitar performance, so he borrowed an acoustic guitar on the spot.
After the guitar arrives, the first thing is of course to test the pitch, and Hua Ming's way of doing this is very skilled and professional.
This guitar was used to play and sing just now, and Hua Ming felt that the pitch of some strings seemed to be a little flawed, which was the reason why he first tried the pitch after he got the guitar in his hands.
His approach is actually a little humiliating for the guitar owner.
As a master of playing the guitar, if you can't even grasp the pitch of the guitar strings, it will be a shame for this to get out. Therefore, the face of the owner of the guitar has changed, and it has become quite ugly.
"If you can't do it, don't pretend if you can't." Kang Dahai spoke again, he was swallowed by Hua Ming just now, and he was angry in his heart!
"The strings of this guitar should be accurate, no need to tune it!" A boy next to him was also a little uncontrollable, and he was very tactfully hugging each other.
"Are you sure? Listen before you say that! Hua Ming's answer was even colder.
For music performances, Hua Ming is very serious. After he tried the pitch of the guitar, he did find a problem, and the problem was after the fourth string.
From the fourth string onwards, its pitch is slightly lower than normal, and this subtle difference is indeed difficult for ordinary people to hear.
But Hua Ming is different, Hua Ming in his previous life is a well-known absolute tone in the industry, he tuned the guitar and the piano, almost without a standard tuning fork. For such small imperfections, he can easily and accurately hear them.
Absolute pitch is a kind of talent that musicians can't ask for, and it is said that among 10,000 people, it is rare to have such a person, and Hua Ming is one of them.
Since there is already a problem with the pitch of the fourth string of this guitar, it goes without saying that the fifth and sixth strings are naturally inaccurate with the fourth string.
This is related to the common tuning method of guitars. The tuning of the guitar is generally done by starting with the first string and then slowly tuning the later strings according to the pitch of the first string.
It stands to reason that this small difference will not affect the performance, but Hua Ming is very serious in music, and since he heard this flaw, it is naturally unbearable.
Now, since some people have raised doubts, Hua Ming naturally has to prove it, which is a matter of personal reputation.
Hua Ming's approach was very simple, he came with a short piece of brilliance. The function of this cadenza is very simple, which is to double the difference in pitch between the third and fourth strings by means of contrast.
Everyone present was playing music, and under the effect of Huaming's small Huacai, the difference in pitch was naturally heard by most people.
"No one has any objections now!" Hua Ming said coldly, his expression dragged unwanted.
Everyone was speechless, and Hua Ming's hand instigated them a little.
Hua Ming ignored everyone's reaction and began to tune the strings. Because there were only a few differences, the matter of tuning the strings was quickly handled by Hua Ming.
Next, the time for Hua Ming's performance arrived.
Hua Ming plays the famous guitar song "Romance of Love", this classic guitar song is a colorful repertoire that everyone who plays the guitar must learn and practice when learning Solo.
Hua Ming's next performance can only be described in two words: amazing.
