Sunday, April 20, Girls' Dormitory, Building 15, Nanjing Normal University.

"Is a new episode out?"

"Not yet." Liu Nan put the lunch box on the desk, looked at the time, and said, "There are still more than ten seconds left, only 12 o'clock." ”

"I don't know what song they rehearsed this time, I hope it's the song we heard last time."

"The one on the school radio, you said?"

"Well, I think it sounds good."

"I like the one he sings at the elevator door of the multi-art network."

"That's not bad, Chinese style."

"Hey, it's out, come and see."

The roommate turned off his computer, moved a chair over, sat next to Liu Nan, looked at the opening commercial, and complained: "This advertisement is too long." ”

"It is said that F&Q can be divided from the advertising fee, and the first episode now has more than 30 million views, and some people on the Internet say that F&Q can be divided into at least 2 million."

"Hey, it's so lucrative, the job I'm looking for is only more than 3,000 per month, and it takes 6 years to earn 2 million without eating or drinking, and they have to release 31 episodes, 60 million!"

Between the two chatting, the commercial ends and the video begins, and the melodious guitar sounds flash the lives of the six F&Q members in turn, each with only a few seconds.

Liu Nan's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the first clip, he said: "These shots seem to be different from the first episode." ”

"Where?"

Liu Nan dragged the video back a little, then paused, pointed to the screen and said: "Look, Shi Lilin is crying, she was laughing in the first episode." ”

"Really. She also cries? ”

Liu Nan pressed the spacebar and continued to watch the video.

Shi Lilin was crying, Xu was angry, and Qiao Yadan was talking. Mai Jiexin was frowning, Lan Xiaoxi was at a loss, and Fang Xiao was worried.

"Maybe something bad happened?"

"Probably so."

The opening background song is exactly the same as the first episode.

“……

How are you feeling right now?

Is it joy and sadness, or a little unknown sorrow

If so, please come in my world and stay for a while

Here there is someone to accompany you in joy and sorrow and sorrow with you

……”

Black screen, subtitles appear: April 19. Yingfeng International Building, F&Q shotgun for gun, went to the top domestic recording studio to record......

The picture appears, all the members of F&Q take a group photo in front of an office building, and then under the watchful eyes of several passers-by, they walk inside the building, enter the elevator, exit the elevator, and hang at the door of a company with a "Baole Recording" nameplate. The front desk lady took out a blank envelope and asked everyone at F&Q to sign it.

The camera then points to the photo wall behind the front desk, which is covered with record sleeves.

"It turns out that "Love Hurt" was recorded here, and I thought it was in Taiwan."

"Yes, this recording studio looks very advanced, you see, An Zihua's "Favorite Person" was also recorded here."

While the two were chatting, a man's voice appeared in the otherwise quiet video.

"Fang Xiao."

The camera turned. Aiming at Fang Xiao, he had a surprised expression on his face. smiled and said, "Brother Kun, is it so coincidental? After nine years of retreat, today you are back in the world? Which king and queen is this going to record for? ”

The camera pans to a burly, ear-length middle-aged man carrying a guitar case. said: "Don't record songs, I'm here to find you." I watched your video yesterday, my hands itch terribly, and the Southern Normal University is too far away, so I'm too lazy to run. I heard Brother Bao say that you were going to record a song today, so I came over and talked to you. ”

"This Brother Kun is the Cao Kun on Weiji, right?"

"It should be."

"Wow, the older generation of guitar masters deliberately came to the door to smash the field of the new generation of guitar masters, now there is something to see!" The roommate was excited, moved the chair in front of him, and said, "I wonder who can win?" ”

Liu Nan couldn't help but sit up straight, and said casually: "The guitar is not a fight, how to win or lose." ”

The members of the Queen Orchestra in the video were also very excited, Shi Lilin was smiling, and she cheered Fang Xiao with her thumbs up.

"Look at it like this, Arlene is nothing, why do you cry for Lu?"

"Maybe there was a mistake in the recording."

After nailing the blank envelope full of F&Q's signatures to the record wall, the front desk lady led the group down the corridor into a rehearsal room, where there were already two people, an old man in a placket and a young man in a men's ponytail, and the subtitles next to them gave the identities of the two: Uncle Bao, the music director of the F&Q concert, and Ada, the recording engineer.

"This recording engineer is pretty handsome."

"Yes, it looks so temperamental."

Cao Kun took out a rustic-looking guitar from the piano case, sat in the center of the rehearsal room, and said, "Fang Xiao, I'll play 'Classical-Gas' again, you can help me see what's wrong." ”

"Don't dare to be, Brother Kun, please."

Cao Kun's posture and demeanor playing the guitar are two extremes with Fang Xiao, he holds the guitar, looks down at the strings, is very focused, without any superfluous body movements, but his fingers are flying flexibly, and the music is galloping, if he listens to it with his eyes closed, it is exactly the same as Fang Xiao's version.

In one day, I practiced such a difficult guitar song, and the practice was almost perfect, and I was definitely a master among the masters.

However, for the onlookers who don't know the guitar, the serious and focused way of playing is not cool or dazzling......

"No wonder he said he's getting older." The roommate was disdainful and said: "How easy Fang Xiao played, he played so nervously, and he made a judgment at a high level, which is far from it." ”

"Fang Xiao wrote his own tunes, he is more familiar with them, and he has practiced a lot." Liu Nan was more neutral and objective, and said: "He has only practiced for one day, and it is already remarkable that he can play like this." ”

After Cao Kun finished playing, there was a round of warm applause in the rehearsal room, and the picture turned to Fang Xiao, who looked at the camera and said in a very sincere tone: "Brother Kun is definitely a master." ”

At this time, the picture was still, and subtitles were played: Brother Kun and Fang Xiao exchanged guitar skills for 41 minutes, although the master made a move, and the peak duel was very gimmicky, but the content of the discussion was too professional to understand. I had to cut it out......

"What a disappointment for me!"

Another line of subtitles appeared: We'll be releasing the video in the form of a tidbit as soon as possible for guitar lovers to watch......

"That's pretty much it."

Liu Nan smiled and said, "You don't know the guitar." ”

"You can learn later."

After the subtitles disappeared, Fang Xiao sat in the center of the rehearsal room, holding a guitar that was obviously larger than an ordinary guitar, and said to the camera: "Brother Kun must let me play a new tune." Otherwise, you won't let me record, and I have no choice but to play one. The one I have is an alto guitar, which is relatively rare and often appears in film scores, with strings that are longer and thicker than regular guitars, and the scale is 4 degrees lower than ordinary guitars. The song I play is called "Fight......"

After he introduced the guitar, he started playing. The technique and playing style are completely different from "Classical-Gas", although "Classical-Gas" is very fast, but it uses almost the most basic plucked strings and strums, which does not exceed the ordinary people's understanding of guitar skills, and this time Fang Xiao used a lot of striking, and playing board skills, these two techniques are very novel to audiences who have not been exposed to fingerstyle guitar.

The strings of the alto guitar are thick and the sound is deeper than that of a regular guitar. With a hint of bass, the strikings and playing boards are used in conjunction with each other. There is also a little bit of drum kit, which is combined to make the whole piece very rich in layers, and the music is changeable, so that the audience can produce one person, one piano. It's the feeling of a band.

"Look at Fang Xiao's fingers, it's like ten little spring people dancing on the guitar strings, jumping one after another."

"I think it's like the noodles in an instant noodle commercial, bouncing around and full of strength."

"You're such a foodie!"

Liu Nan bowed his head. He looked at his ten fingers and said, "When I get to work, I'll buy a guitar to play with." ”

"When the time comes, let's go together, and if you buy in a group, you can get a discount."

After Fang Xiao finished playing, the camera circled the rehearsal room, everyone was applauding, and everyone had a wonderful expression on their faces, "I already know that he is very powerful, but he is just a little more powerful than I thought".

The camera switched, and Cao Kun's interview appeared.

"I came to Fang Xiao today, I definitely didn't mean to kick the field, his field couldn't kick, he really couldn't kick...... I came for three purposes, the first was to ask him face-to-face about the skills of playing "Classical-Gas", and the one who heard the Tao was the teacher...... There is no face, and he writes this song really well...... It sounds like no problem with what I played, but there are still a lot of details that need to be changed......"

"The second purpose is to show the old guys who called me last night to laugh at me, although my old Cao hasn't come out to play for 9 years, but the skills haven't been lost, if anyone is not convinced, spend a day practicing "Classical-Gas", and then come to Hong Kong to slap me in the face......"

"The third, the third is Fang Xiao, this kid, is very lazy, if you don't force him, he won't take good goods from the outside world, like the song just now, he must have written it a long time ago, but he just didn't take it out...... Plucking the strings with the thumb and forefinger, hitting the strings with the middle and ring fingers, and hitting the board with the little finger are unique techniques that I have never seen before...... The combination of overtones, dot overtones, strings, and boards is a great inspiration to me, and it is a new way of thinking for many people who play the guitar...... That's why I said that the guitar is just a musical instrument in our hands, and it is a magic weapon in Fang Xiao's hands, and he can play different things if he plays casually, and he can't do it if he doesn't accept it......"

"This guitar was made to order in Canada when I had a solo recital in 2004, and I found the best luthier and used the best wood...... I don't mix in the music industry anymore, I have a company, there are a lot of things, people are busy, I rarely play, and it's a waste to stay at home as a decoration...... The sword was given to the hero, and I gave it to Fang Xiao, which can be regarded as a congratulatory gift to wish him a successful concert in advance......"

"Tut, this guitar is custom-made, it is estimated to be worth a lot of money, it is said that Fang Xiao's guitar costs 80,000 yuan."

"Who knows?" Liu Nan looked at the screen and said: "He gave the guitar to Fang Xiao, which can be regarded as a kind of inheritance, I read on the Internet that Cao Kun is the leader of the first generation of professional guitarists in China." (To be continued......)

PS: Suddenly Kavin, I obviously have an idea, but I can't write it right, I tossed it for a day and rewrote it three times......

The guitar song in the book is "Fight" by Kotaro Oshio, and his guitar skills are more special, so post a video address: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTQyNTI0MDYw.html
