After getting off the bus. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ren Xing asked Wang Dazhu to negotiate with the young men in the band and borrow equipment, but the old man was not happy at first, saying why didn't he use it if he had a factory. Of course Ren Xing won't do it, play rock and roll in your factory, listen well, you can't let your subordinates tie me up?
The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally Ren Xing provoked Wang Dazhu with his words, "Don't you say that you are the godfather of rock and roll?" You go up and see if these boys recognize you. ”
In the end, Wang Dazhu personally went to negotiate with the lead singer of the band, and the other party was so excited that he never expected that the godfather of rock and roll would actually take a fancy to their band, and called the other members of his band to come over, and they talked a lot, what they were trying to revive rock music, etc. This is actually that they are thinking too much, Wang Dazhu just wants to prove his influence in the rock circle, as for whether they see that they are reviving rock music, maybe they really don't see it.
Seeing that Wang Dazhu had successfully taken this step, Ren Xing appeared, he walked to the front of the lead singer, glanced at the bass player, electric guitarist and drummer behind him, and said politely: "Brother, it's convenient, borrow your equipment and use it for these people, I'm with Wang's seniors." ”
The lead singer is a young man with long hair and a pointed face, he glanced at Wang Dazhu, Wang Dazhu nodded to confirm what Ren Xing said, and the lead singer with long hair and pointed face agreed and was polite to Ren Xing.
"Okay, then you can talk slowly." As Ren Xing spoke, he led the three members of their band inside, came to the drum kit, and said to the drummer, "Do you have pen and paper?" I'll write you a score and see if you can type it. ”
The drummer didn't talk much, nodded sullenly, went to get paper and pen, in fact, playing the creation of the band anytime and anywhere, there are indeed these habits.
Ren Xing took the things, followed the drum score in the system, and wrote a copy on the paper. The score of the drum kit is different from others, although it is also five lines drawn on the paper, which always makes people misunderstand that it is a stave, but in fact it is not at all, the drum kit is all bass muffled, and the score is relatively simple.
There are many kinds of musical instruments, and most people who play music are proficient in only one type, and even if they are a little more knowledgeable, they will only learn the same kind of musical instruments in the same category. Just like Ren Xing, he learned the guitar, which belongs to the stringed instrument, and he can only read the stave sheet music and the guitar six-line notation, while the drums belong to the percussion instrument, and he has not learned it either.
This drum score, he was stunned when he read it before, but fortunately, he had accumulated a little experience with Wang Meng before, and now he can prevent others from asking for flaws.
After drawing the drum score, Ren Xing drew a four-line sheet music for the bass player, also known as the BASS score, which he knew a little bit about, and drew roughly, but some key points could be marked.
As for the electric guitarist, Ren Xing walked through the chords with the acoustic guitar of their band's lead singer.
An hour later, the sun began to tilt to the west, and the sun was shining into the shed, and it was unbearably hot.
Ren Xing took two more sips of mineral water in his hand, and said to the guys who were still practicing tacit understanding: "I think it's almost over, let's start." ”
Don't look at Wang Dazhu, although he is old, he has strong endurance, and he didn't look frizzy at all after basking in the sun for an hour, and said slowly: "This is ready?" Don't make me laugh, I advise you to let them practice more, and I haven't seen you practice with them. ”
Ren Xing said angrily: "I think you just want to consume me here for heat stroke, old man, let me tell you, you have basically heard this song, so you can touch your conscience and say, don't be foolish." ”
Wang Dazhu was debunked, and smiled: "Young man, don't slander me, and although this song is good, I haven't seen the lyrics, but you said that you have good lyrics and songs." ”
Hot sweat flowed from his forehead, Ren Xing didn't want to waste his tongue with him at all, waved his hand, took another sip of water, and stood up.
Because it was an active performance, their equipment was not so intact in the process, Ren walked to the wheat rack, glanced at the microphone, and found that there were several holes on it that were blocked by dust and mud, frowned, and didn't say anything.
Plugged in the power, Ren Xing gave them a gesture, signaling that they could start, Wang Dazhu also nodded with a smile, with a calm face, just like watching a few children play at home.
The song selected by Ren Xing is "No Place for Shame" by the Black Panthers, this song is his rock enlightenment, he likes to sing very much, but he roars without a band, and today with accompaniment, the mood is a little different.
It starts with a long section of electric guitar power chords, and the effect of plugging in electricity makes the rhythm even stronger.
Then the bass of the bass mixes in, making the music full, as if it were about to fill the cochlea.
The whole prelude came out, and the drummer and Ren Xing began a tacit cooperation.
Ren Xing's voice attribute has improved too much, originally Dou Wei's voice was imitated, he couldn't sing, but now the voice imitates Dou Wei.
"In the crowd, there are you and me."
"Meet, get acquainted, and ponder each other."
"In the crowd, it's you and me."
"Pretend to be decent and smile."
As soon as the first few sentences came out, how could Wang Dazhu still have the calmness to start? He was amazed that there was such a perfect noise, high-pitched, passionate, penetrating, and wide. This kid sang last night, obviously his vocal range is not so wide, it is just an ordinary alto, and now the voice he presents is ...... The metallic sound is a stimulant for those who love rock 'n' roll!
The long-haired lead singer of this band also looked stupid, "I'm grass, which god are you?" On the one hand, he looks down on those who participate in the draft, thinking that musicians must have the backbone of musicians, and on the other hand, he doesn't waste this time on watching the show, so he doesn't know such a number one person at all.
Ren Xing sang hi, even if there was no one in front of him, the passers-by and the audience shook their heads and walked away after a glance, he was also high, because he found that he had actually reached the voice of Dou Daxian'er when he was young, holding the microphone and turning to Wang Dazhu and the long-haired lead singer, his body swaying freely.
"Don't say too much, you know."
"What the hell do you and I want to do?"
"Don't care a lot, and don't be sad."
"One day you'll understand me."
"In the crowd, I saw you again."
"Just as glamorous, just as beautiful."
"Slowly relax, slowly abandon."
"Again, I still don't care."
The unconsciously shaking of his legs, the swaying of no one around, and the strange screams of the long-haired young man were like stimulants.
Even Wang Dazhu took off his leather jacket and threw it on the folding table casually, his face flushed and he couldn't tell whether he was sunburned or overexcited, his index finger and little finger stretched out, and he held it up with a rock gesture in his hand, this kind of hard rock, he hadn't heard it in the music of the younger generation for a long time.
"This is rock!" The old man burst into foul language, and at the same time interacted with him like a fan, don't look at him in his fifties, he still plays like a young man.
So, on the way to Qiaoxi, people passing by saw such a scene.
An old maniac with a goatee, with a little maniac with long hair, is "messing around" in someone else's performance studio.
After listening to the music, the people passing by shook their heads, secretly saying what kind of thing is this, it's noisy, and then they looked at the word rock on the banner, and they couldn't help but understand, it turned out to be rock, no wonder.
After a long time, Ren Xing was finished, and his metallic voice that imitated Dou Wei no longer came from the microphone, and the accompaniment stopped.
Wang Dazhu woke up like a dream, his eyes blinked a few times, with doubts, and a trace of excitement that did not fade, and asked Ren Xing: "Why don't you sing?" Go on, hurry. "It feels like an addiction, and once you stop, the whole person becomes empty.
Ren Xing shrugged his shoulders and pointed behind his back to make him realize the reality. Wang Dazhu looked over, there were no tens of thousands of onlookers he imagined, only a child was standing there listening, he seemed to have a glimmer of hope, he waved at the child, but the child ran away crying.
Wang Dazhu's shoulders collapsed, and he sighed dejectedly, he didn't expect that no one would like such good music, and the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness.
"Senior Wang, I admire your spirit of being willing to give everything for rock and roll, but I really can't do this, so I quit." Ren Xing shook his head helplessly, and prepared to leave after speaking.
"Wait!" Wang Dazhu shouted.
Ren Xing turned his head sideways, frowned, and said, "Old man, you don't want to play tricks, do you, you just looked like you had taken medicine, and you still don't admit that I can play rock and roll?" Do you want to point me out? ”
Wang Dazhu was naturally very embarrassed, he really wanted to play tricks, but he was a little hesitant, the so-called twisted melon is not sweet, not to mention that this kid was already ruthless, so he said: "I admit that your talent is very high, and I really can't talk about instructing you, but you think about it again, even if it's just under my name, I don't interfere with you making music, after all, my connections and prestige in the music circle are achievements that others can't achieve in a lifetime." ”
As soon as he said this, Ren Xing was at a loss, which sounded, how could the old man want to make a loss-making deal, and he looked like a person who would suffer losses?
The long-haired young man nodded vigorously beside him, affirming the authenticity of the old man's words, and there was a greedy look in his eyes, it was obvious that he also wanted such a chance to soar to the sky.
"You said you have a lot of connections in the music industry, how wide is it?" Ren Xing is not stupid, why not if it is a benefit that he picked up for nothing, but he also has to ask clearly, when he rejected Jiang Decai, it was a comprehensive consideration, and the most important thing is that Jiang Decai is not very appetizing, and he looks bad. Now he doesn't feel that if he gets a draft champion, the road will be easy in the future, you must know how many draft champions in his previous life can only go to the street to set up bowls and sing in despair, and it is different if someone helps, this only proves a truth, no matter in which circle, if you want to mix well, the premise is that you have to have network resources.
Seeing that Ren Xing showed signs of a change of heart, Wang Dazhu happily shook his goatee and said angrily: "Let me tell you this, the singers of your generation are basically popular musicians of our generation, and the musicians of our generation are either brothers who work hard with me, or my younger brother, my generation, this is it." As he spoke, he clenched his fist and held out his thumb.
Ren Xingcai didn't buy it, waved his hand and said: "What you said is too vague, you just say who can help you." ”
When he asked this question, Wang Dazhu was deflated, he didn't know how to answer it, saying that he was a brother and a younger brother, but people also have their own careers.
Seeing that the old man stopped talking, Ren Xing cut and left again.
