Chapter 33: Performance

"We know that Sister Sasha is not an ordinary bar singer, she is a well-known singer who has released records." The last time I came here, Qiao Yadan was surprised that he didn't know Sasha, and after he went back, Fang Xiao checked it on the Internet and knew something about her resume, he raised his right hand and said: "A total of five records have been released, four of which are covers, not to mention the covers, there is no technical content, let me talk about her first record, which is the only original record, released ten years ago "Evening Wind". ”

Sasha was obviously angry with his sarcasm, and was about to walk to the stage when she raised her legs, but was stopped by the middle-aged man next to her, signaling her not to act rashly, Fang Xiao saw that Brother Kun had also gone over there.

"This album is named after the title song of the same name, but unfortunately, the title song "Evening Breeze" performed very badly, whether it was lyrics or singing, it was lackluster, and it did not have any impact, just like a plastic bag blown away by the evening breeze, it disappeared without a trace, and the whole album just hit the right hit "The Lover Who Can't Go Back", and then Sister Sasha relied on it for ten years." After Fang Xiao finished talking about Sasha's information, he looked around the bar and said, "I'll use "Evening Breeze" as the title now, write a song, and let Sister Sasha know that in this world, there are many people who can write songs, and there are many people who can write good songs, but people don't like you." ”

Then he began to roll call: "Permission, Lan Xiaoxi, Qiao Yadan, you guys come up for a moment." ”

This kind of public slap in the face in front of the public is rare even in a passionate rock bar, not to mention the calm and low-key bar like Twilight, no one does not like to watch the excitement, and the guests are excited, making a louder noise than just now, like a flock of birds flapping their wings on the beach.

"I'm a student at Southern Normal University, a senior, and I'm about to graduate, and all three of them are classmates from the same school as me." Fang Xiao pointed to the three girls who came to the stage in turn with a sand hammer, and introduced: "This is permission, this is Lan Xiaoxi, everyone knows this, Qiao Yadan, she works here and is a waiter in a bar." ”

Jordan stood to his right, and Permit and Blue Creek stood to the left.

Fang Xiao asked Qiao Yadan first: "How is your memory?" ”

Qiao Yadan had already seen his ability to write songs on the spot, smiled and cooperated, and said, "It's okay." ”

Fang Xiao turned his head and asked Xu He Lan Xiaoxi again, and the two girls also nodded, saying that it was not bad.

"Very good, all three classmates said they have a good memory." Fang Xiao picked up the guitar, crossed it to his chest, and said: "The weather forecast says that Typhoon 'Shanshan' has gone, but I think Shanshan is like a graceful beauty, walking is gone, but leaving a charming aftertaste, on the way to the bar tonight, you should be able to feel that the evening breeze is blowing, very comfortable, very gentle." ”

"I'll write a song with the evening breeze tonight." He swept a chord and said, "I'll sing it first, let the three students memorize the lyrics, and then everyone will sing it again in turn." Jordan, you first, then Blue Creek, and then permission. No problem, right? ”

It was not easy to memorize the lyrics and sing them once you listened to them, but the three girls did not ask questions, just nodded.

The whole bar was silent, looking at the stage in unison, and even Sasha, who had been chirping with Brother Kun, stopped croaking.

Fang Xiao began to play the guitar, and after playing the prelude, he began to sing, the lyrics were very short, only five sentences.

“……

A gentle evening breeze

Gently blow through the lover's dreams

A gentle evening breeze

Gently blowing through the sky of my hometown

A gentle evening breeze

Gently blow through the lights of the city

Tonight's evening breeze

Please tell me where you are going

……”

Women are like water, their voices can be compared to drinks and drinks, men are like mountains, it is difficult to describe them with liquids, Fang Xiao's voice is thick and magnetic, like gray granite, with a fine texture, slightly heavy in the hand, with fine grain, but it is very smooth to the touch, it seems ordinary, but it is not tired of looking at it for a long time.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone felt a shock in their hearts, and as the song unfolded, the audience seemed to be in the warm spring evening breeze, and involuntarily showed a comfortable and satisfied expression.

After listening to two sentences, Ada pushed the prepared wine to Uncle Bao, and asked softly, "Uncle Bao......"

Uncle Bao waved his hand and motioned for him not to speak.

Brother Kun, who was originally facing away from the stage, turned his head sideways, and the middle-aged man who was sitting with Sasha also sat up straight.

After Fang Xiao finished singing, while playing the interlude transition, she looked at Qiao Yadan and interacted with her with body language, although Qiao Yadan worked everywhere, she never lost her major, she followed Fang Xiao's rhythm, shaking the sand hammer and beating the beat, and when the melody arrived, she immediately connected it without any mistakes.

Her voice is completely different from Fang Xiao's, and the feeling to the audience is also completely different, Fang Xiao's singing voice is like a man standing on the roof of a building watching the city lights, there is a faint melancholy, her singing voice is like a girl waiting for her lover in a hilltop hut, with a passionate longing.

When it was Lan Xiaoxi's turn, her singing voice was different again, like a little girl sitting alone on the seashore and homesick, like the memory of water, and finally permission, her voice was like a tourist traveling around on a bicycle, with an uncertain future.

After finishing the singing, Fang Xiao continued to play the guitar, ending with a chord, and when the last note disappeared, the audience burst into applause, which was more lively than the one that Qiao Yadan had just done - maybe this direct slap in the face stimulated the adrenal glands of these middle classes, or maybe it was because new songs were always easy to surprise people.

After the applause ended, Fang Xiao helped the microphone and said, "What do you think, is it better than Sister Sasha's "Evening Wind"?" ”

A dozen or so people in the audience applauded, but most of them just smiled and didn't make a fuss.

The silent majority......

This group of people doesn't move, how can they slap their faces so coolly......

He was thinking about how to stir up the emotions of these mild onlookers, and Sasha came out again, shouting with contempt: "Such a simple song is embarrassing to shout? Take a song that I don't know when Lu Dao wrote it, and I don't know who wrote it, and say that I can write songs, Fang Xiao, your face is really thick! ”

Fang Xiao snapped his fingers, stretched out his right hand, pointed at her very fan, and said, "Sister Sasha said it too well, I also think this song is too simple, it's not difficult, it's not fun to play, your face is not rosy enough." That's good, I'll write four more songs according to the characteristics of the voices of the four of us, or use the evening breeze as the title, and write it on the spot. ”

His tone was flat, not even a little accent, but this Haikou boasted too much, the audience was in an uproar, the sound was a little louder than just now, just like a flock of birds about to fly, now like a bustling vegetable market.

Finally a little human......

"Uncle Bao." Ada was a little worried, and said, "Why don't you go and play a round, just accept it when you see it, there's no need to make it too big." ”

"I don't think I need it, Dandan said that he can write a song in just a few minutes, and it seems to be true." Uncle Bao sat still and didn't move, sighed in admiration, and said: "The hero is a young man, this little party is not simple!" Lao Shen, this is going to paint a few of our old guys' faces with color. ”

Lieber, the eldest of these old men, agreed, saying, "It's not easy. Bao, have you noticed it, when you sang just now, although everyone's lyrics were the same, Fang Xiao fine-tuned the melody according to everyone's voice characteristics, and coupled with body movements, it guided them to sing with different flavors, which is rare and not simple! These girls are obviously singing this song for the first time, and he is indispensable for singing so well. ”

Uncle Bao nodded lightly.

The three girls were also very surprised, it was okay to write a song on the spot, write four songs at once, and write according to the characteristics of each person's voice, it would be too rebellious, so they all bent down and bowed their heads and approached Fang Xiao.

"Fang Xiao, are you okay?" This is permission.

"Sing what?" This is Blue Creek.

"Fang Xiao, you are too powerful!" This is Jordan.

"Don't worry, wind, flowers, snow, and the moon are the easiest subjects to write about, and wind ranks first, and it couldn't be easier to write songs related to it." Fang Xiao saw that the noise gradually subsided, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Stand up, stand up." ”

Xu Bu was angry with him, pursed his lips and snorted, and then stood up straight, Lan Xiaoxi was very excited, and returned to the position just now with one stride, after Qiao Yadan stood up, he tilted his head sideways and looked at him with eyes that were hotter than the summer sun.

"Guys, in order to prevent anyone from messing around, I want to make two things clear before I write."

"First thing, let me summarize the vocal characteristics of my three classmates." Fang Xiao pointed at the three girls one by one, and said, "Qiao Yadan, natural and pure, blue stream, mellow and mellow, permitted, ephemeral, do you have any objections?" ”

The guests gave a sound of approval, saying that there was no problem.

Fang Xiao pointed at himself again and said, "As for myself, I think I am the iron man tender type, but my paper-like body doesn't seem to be an iron man......"

The self-deprecating rhetoric provoked laughter from the audience, and the atmosphere escalated from warm swallow water at thirty or forty degrees to bath water at fifty or sixty degrees.

"Okay, my family knows my own affairs, so I won't summarize my own characteristics, and I'll talk about the second thing next, which is the time to write songs." Fang Xiao turned his gaze to the bar and asked, "Brother Ada, I heard that cocktails are ever-changing and have a wide variety of flavors, is there any wine that is similar to our four voice styles?" ”

Ada was stunned, then replied, "Yes." ”

Fang Xiao used his fingers from left to right, roughly celebrated, and then said: "There are about 100 guests in the bar now, Adago, how much time does it take to make 100 cocktails at the earliest?" ”

"30 minutes at the earliest." After Ada finished speaking, he added: "But 100 cups is a bit much, maybe 40 minutes." ”

"OK, I got it." Fang Xiao turned his head to face the guests in the venue and said, "I need time to write songs, and they need time to familiarize themselves with the lyrics." ”

"It's a bar, and the wine comes first, and the music comes second. It's better to be like this, the voices of the four of us, everyone has just heard them, and whoever you like is the voice, go buy a cocktail with a similar temperament. With a limit of 100 glasses, as long as Adago has prepared 100 glasses of wine, whether we are ready or not, we will come on stage and sing to everyone, what do you think? ”

Coming to the bar is meant to drink, and buying an extra cocktail is nothing, but writing 4 songs in 30 minutes, and there are strict restrictions, this kind of miracle-like thing, if you miss it, it's hard to encounter it again.

The guests agreed, and no one objected to Fang Xiao's proposal.

Sister Sasha came out to die again, and said coldly: "Fang Xiao, don't treat us as fools, wait for you to make up something randomly, and also say it's a song, can it be a song?" ”

"Since Sister Sasha said so, then there will be a vote later, if you think the song I wrote is not good, it is made up and made up, and the wine money will be all mine." Fang Xiao stood up and said with a smile: "If you think it sounds good, then how about this wine money, Sister Sasha, how about you?" ”
