Chapter V: Licensing
There are several sheets of paper in the score, Fang Xiao only read two pages, the door of the singing room was pushed open, and a girl wearing a white hollow knit sweater and blue cropped jeans walked in, she was the same as Shi Lilin, she had short hair, but Shi Lilin was Qi bangs, she was a three-seven oblique bangs, the hair was rolled inward, faintly covering the small half of her cheeks, and she was capable, adding a bit of charm.
She first said hello to Liu Chengjie, then put down the half-human-high suitcase from her shoulder and said, "Fang Xiao, this is the guitar you want." ”
That's licensing?
She was tall, with slender legs and perfectly proportioned proportions, and she stood there, shoulders and chest, her back very straight, like a small poplar tree, and it was hard not to notice her breasts, even if they weren't amazingly sized.
No wonder Liu Chengjie said that she has long legs and big, and she has a strong surname......
"Mrs. Xu has worked hard." Liu Chengjie glanced at Fang Xiao, then took a bottle of drink, stepped forward attentively, and said, "Come, come, drink some drinks, Fang Xiao specially bought, stockings milk tea, the taste you like." ”
Fang Xiao put down the score, stepped forward to take the suitcase, it felt a little heavy in his hand, he looked at the girl with fine sweat on the tip of his nose, and moved his lips, but he didn't know what to say.
First, he didn't know what the relationship between the two was, second, he could talk and laugh in front of acquaintances, but he was not good at dealing with strangers, and third, this person was not small, a top guitar with a small 100,000 yuan, and he said that he would borrow it immediately, not only did he run home to get it, but he also carried it personally, and his words of gratitude seemed very pale in front of action.
The permissible eyebrows are not smooth and curved like ordinary girls, but fly up obliquely, turn into flat eyebrows on the forehead, and cooperate with the phoenix eyes with the tail angle slightly upturned, there is a strange beauty that is radiant, the other party Xiao Na has a speechless attitude, she just smiled, took milk tea, greeted Lan Xiaoxi, and said: "You are Lan Xiaoxi, right?" I'm the one who gave you permission to call you in the afternoon. ”
Lan Xiaoxi sat there, and raised three fingers coolly, which was regarded as a greeting.
Xu turned around, and Fang Xiao said: "You try it here, see if it's suitable." ”
Then she kicked a round stool with her foot, sat next to Lan Xiaoxi, told her about the band, invited her to join the gang, and Shi Lilin helped on the side.
Liu Chengjie helped move two round stools over, Fang Xiao put the suitcase horizontally on it, pressed the buckle, opened the box, and immediately his eyes lit up.
The box is lined with red velvet, in the middle of the red velvet, there is a yellow missing guitar, beautiful lines, fine texture, the fingerboard is carved with golden vines and white flowers, there are gorgeous shell decorations on both sides, very elegant, the hexagonal headstock is also painted in the middle of an angel with open wings, the knobs are silver, very delicate semi-closed structure, as Liu Chengjie said, this is a guitar that can be called a work of art.
Although the style is a bit girly, it is definitely the best.
Fang Xiao lifted the corners of his clothes, wiped his hands, and then carefully picked up the guitar, seeing the dark brown side panels and back panels with charming textures, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
Brazilian rosewood!
If Hainan Huanghuali is the most precious wood in the minds of the Chinese, then Brazilian rosewood is the most precious wood in the minds of Europeans and Americans, this wood is fine and uniform, high strength, good rot resistance, warm and smooth sound, is the best guitar making material, in Fang Xiao's previous life, because of hundreds of years of felling, by the end of the 20th century, this wood has become extinct and has become a first-class protected wood in international trade conventions, Brazil officially stipulates that only timber cut before 1992 can be traded, and others are illegal, export is strictly prohibited.
After all, the wood cut before 1992 is limited, so the guitar made of Brazilian rosewood, each one is a rare superb, the price is expensive, and it rises every year, Fang Xiao used to get a guitar with only a fingerboard is Brazilian rosewood, and he was very happy, this kind of side plate and back plate are all made of Brazilian rosewood, he has only seen it in his previous life, and he has not touched it.
It's good to cross, it's good......
He gently swept his fingers over the strings, and drew a burst of music, the sound was excellent, crisp and pure, like spring water flowing through the stones, like silver tapping on a porcelain plate.
"I haven't used it for a while, the strings may be loose, the tone is not accurate, you can tune it yourself."
Fang Xiao snorted, he had been playing the guitar for many years, he didn't need a tuner, and he didn't need other musical instrument references, he played each string a few times, listened to the scale, turned the knob, and it was quickly adjusted.
Then he began to play, this time not a hodgepodge, but played a complete tune, a song that was famous in his past and present life - "Nanping Evening Bell".
From 1949 to 2014, in just 65 years, the world has changed a lot, but there will definitely be things that have not changed.
Since Fang Xiao has the heart to make a fortune from the music in his memory, then he must first figure out which songs can be plagiarized and which songs can't......
So when he searched before, he focused on several musicians who existed before 1949, and musicians who were born before 1949 and have made achievements in Hong Kong, the most famous are two people, one is Wang Fuling and the other is Gu Jiahui.
Gu Jiahui naturally doesn't need to say much, although Wang Fuling's fame is slightly weaker, he has also written famous songs such as "No Love", "My Chinese Heart", "Under the Lion Rock" and other famous songs, "Nanping Evening Bell" is also his classic masterpiece, in Fang Xiao's previous life, this song was released in 1960, sung by Cui Ping, and has been sung for more than 50 years, Fei Yuqing, Luo Wen, Cai Qin, Feng Feifei, Xu Xiaofeng and other kings and queen-level singers have covered it.
In this life, this song was also released in 1960, also sung by Cui Ping, the song is the same, but the lyrics are different, probably because of the butterfly wings flapping, the lyricist Chen Dieyi in the previous life went to Taiwan in 1949.
However, Fang Xiao only played but didn't sing, the lyrics were not important, and what he played was not an accompaniment, but a fingerstyle tune adapted by Dong Yunchang, a Taiwanese guitar master in his previous life.
This song is upbeat and melodious, and it is a well-known song, and he only played the beginning, and he attracted everyone's attention.
In his previous life, those bar singers liked Fang Xiao and said that he had a style, because when he played the guitar, his body and expression were very relaxed, he rarely looked at the fretboard and strings, and he seemed to play at ease, but he never made a mistake, even if someone else had a small problem on the spot, he could make up for it on the spot, with him, the atmosphere was good, and the singer had room to play. Ami once said that other people's accompaniment is like walking a tightrope on a cliff, tight, so that she doesn't dare to move, and his accompaniment is like whack-a-mole on the beach, knocking on it casually, smashing one accurately, it's very fun.
Fang Xiao didn't know how many times he had played this "Nanping Evening Bell", and he held a good piano that he had never encountered in his previous life, and he became excited, he didn't look at the guitar at all, shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and twisted his waist, and used his body language to interact with Liu Chengjie standing opposite, playing to the middle of the section, and also whistled, the melodious whistle and the cheerful guitar cooperated seamlessly, so that the people in the whole room were eager to move, and involuntarily swayed with the rhythm, Shi Lilin also hummed softly.
When the song ended, Fang Xiao held down the fretboard with his right hand, hooked the strings a few times with his left hand, and made several sounds of "bell ......" and "bell ......" of different tones and lengths, and then let go of his hand and exclaimed: "What a good piano!" ”
Liu Chengjie gave two thumbs up very powerfully.
"You played it well." Xu leaned forward, put his hands on his knees very elegantly, looked at him, his eyes were full of surprise, and asked, "Fang Xiao, when will you play the guitar?" ”
"I always will." Fang Xiao looked down at the guitar, stroked the smooth side panel with his fingers, and said, "It's just that I haven't played it for a long time." ”
"Bragging!" Shi Lilin didn't believe it and asked, "I haven't played at this level for a long time, so what level did you use before?" ”
Fang Xiao smiled and said, "It used to be at this level. ”
The obvious perfunctory made Shi Lilin very unhappy, she was about to go crazy with her big eyes, and at this time Lan Xiaoxi interjected and asked, "Fang Xiao, right?" You just played "Nanping Evening Bell"? ”
"Hmm."
"Adapted by yourself?"
"yes." Fang Xiao gently put the guitar back into the suitcase, then glanced at everyone and asked, "What do you guys think?" I'm going to take this to an interview tomorrow. ”
"That's good."
"I think you're sure nine times out of ten, unless those interviewers are deaf." Liu Chengjie clasped his hands on his chest, leaned against the wall, and said, "By the way, Mrs. Xu, are you a Sacred Heart graduate?" ”
"No, I went to middle school in Guangzhou." Xu Xu shook her head, she saw that Fang Xiao was about to close the suitcase, and said, "Don't accept it yet, Fang Xiao, play another song." ”
"That's it, Fang Xiao, play another one, let me take a good look at what level you are." Shi Lilin said with a grin: "It must be an illusion, I think what you played just now is higher than the little prince of guitar in the first class." ”
"Let's play it next time." Time was in a hurry, Fang Xiao hadn't had time to search for much information, and now he didn't want to show his bottom, he closed the lid and said, "I have an interview tomorrow, and I have to go back to prepare something, and besides, you also have something to do, so it's not good to continue to bother." ”
"I'll play it next time." Liu Chengjie saw that Shi Lilin still wanted to entangle, he took the first step, lifted the piano case, and reminded: "Fang Xiao was just discharged from the hospital at noon today. ”
"Alright then, I'll play it next time."
Xu Xu stood up and said, "Can you find your way?" Do you want me to send you down? ”
"No need, permission, thank you."
"Little things, nothing."
Liu Chengjie opened the door, turned around and gently patted the suitcase twice, and said, "Rich woman Xu, this treasure is so expensive, you explain to Fang Xiao what things you should pay attention to when using it." ”
Then he made a gesture to Fang Xiao to smoke and said, "I'm addicted to smoking, I'll go down first, and you two will talk slowly." ”
"Da Liu, if you smoke less, you'll die!"
"It's because you will die if you smoke less, so you have to smoke more."
Liu Chengjie strode into the meteor, disappeared in a few clicks, turned around and said to Lan Xiaoxi: "I'll send him off and come back immediately." ”
"Okay."
The two of them walked down the small stairs down the attic and walked out of the security door, Fang Xiao asked, "Permission, is there anything to pay attention to in this qin?" ”
"No, no matter how expensive it is, it's just a guitar, and it's the same as a normal one."
"Well, I'll pay you back right away after the interview tomorrow." Fang Xiao stood still at the top of the stairs and said with a smile: "You still have something to do, go back." I just came up from here, and I know how to get down. ”
Xu Xu snorted, but didn't move, she hesitated for a moment, and said, "Fang Xiao, let me tell you something. ”
