Chapter 35: Singing
Xu Xu and Qiao Yadan are both professional majors, and they can sing a new song in twenty or thirty minutes, there is no difficulty at all, the difference is only the grasp of details and emotions, which is not a big problem, after all, the song written "in a hurry", sung in a hurry, has some flaws, and the audience will forgive it.
Therefore, Fang Xiao pointed out the noteworthy details of the two songs according to the mature version in his mind, and then put all his energy on Lan Xiaoxi, and accompanied her to practice singing sentence by sentence - she used to play the guitar, although her voice is unique, but her singing skills are very ordinary, roughly equivalent to the level of K song Maiba, she is a master in the amateur, but she is still far from the professional.
Fang Xiao attaches so much importance to Lan Xiaoxi, not only because her strength is slightly weaker, but also because she is the main force in the face tonight.
Using music to slap people in the face is not only difficult, but also very nonsensical, because music is only entertainment after all, neither a necessity, nor can it cause substantial harm to people, no matter how well you sing, as soon as I close my ears, turn around and leave, I don't care at all, and the slap will all be in the air, in vain.
If you really want to use music to slap someone's face, you must first set it off, trap the person, and the hooked face slap object can't stop, and then you can slap it.
Fang Xiao wanted to slap Sasha in the face, just to take advantage of her psychology of being anxious to release a new record, use the set of "original songs" to put her in, and then carefully select and find a specific song to slap in the face - no matter how well you write and sing well, if you have nothing to do with her, it is equivalent to beating the portrait, and it won't hurt people at all.
Xu and Qiao Yadan's voice characteristics are too distinct, and the style is completely different from Sasha's, so Fang Xiao can only let Lan Xiaoxi take on the heavy responsibility of slapping her face, and he carefully selected a bitter love song similar to Sasha's famous "Can't Go Back" ten years ago to slap her in the face.
The two most painful poisons in the world are jealousy and regret, as long as you fall into these two poisons, you will be in great pain, and your heart will be like ants.
A singer who has been struggling in the music scene for ten years and can only barely maintain his fame by recovering records, suddenly met a super creator, who can casually write good songs that are very suitable for her style and will definitely make her popular again......
The more beautiful the prospect, the greater the remorse.
If Sasha knew that Fang Xiao had planned to make her popular last time she came to the bar, she would definitely regret chopping off her leg......
……
Thirty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, Fang Xiao waited for Lan Xiaoxi to finish singing the last time, put down the guitar, nodded and said, "OK, the singing is good, just keep it like this later." ”
Lan Xiaoxi was picked by Fang Xiao with a lot of questions just now, and he was obviously weak and weak, so he went to see the permission again.
"It's really good." Xu encouraged her, looked at Fang Xiao, and said: "Look at him, his face is heartless, he is the protagonist tonight, we are all miscellaneous soldiers, he is not nervous, what are you nervous about." ”
"That's it, don't be nervous, I'm there for everything." Fang Xiao stood up, picked up the guitar, and asked Qiao Yadan, "How are you?" ”
Qiao Yadan smiled like a flower and said, "With you, I'm fine." ”
Permission pouted and said, "I have a problem. ”
Fang Xiao was surprised and asked her, "What's your problem?" ”
Xu Xu looked at him for a while, and then asked, "These songs are completely different in style, how did you write them?" ”
"I wrote it with a pen."
Qiao Yadan pursed his lips and smiled, and also asked, "We all have songs, what about yours?" ”
"I don't have to write mine, I can sing it as much as I want." Fang Xiao walked to the door, looked back at the three girls who were following him, and said, "I'll go up later, then Qiao Yadan, and then permission, the last is Lan Xiaoxi." No problem, right? ”
The three of them shook their heads in unison, indicating that there was no problem.
"OK, let's go!"
Then he opened the door and walked out of the door.
There was an S-shaped line of more than a dozen people in front of the bar, Ada was bartending, heard the sound, looked back at them and said, "Fang Xiao, don't worry, it's only 84 cups, it's still early." ”
Fang Xiao glanced at it, and saw that Uncle Bao and Uncle Li were also on Sasha's side, I don't know what Lu Dao was talking about, Li Bo was playing the piano on the stage, but few people listened, the atmosphere of the bar was a little more lively than just now, some were standing, some were sitting, and they were talking in groups of three or five, before this was like an auditorium for elementary school students, neat and orderly, and now it is like parents who communicate with each other after a parent-teacher conference.
"We're all right. Adago, which wine sells the most? ”
"Similar to your voice is the most, followed by Dandan." Ada smiled and said, "Xiao Ke, yours at least." ”
Xu Xu showed an expression that she had known for a long time, and her voice was erratic, and it was difficult for first-time listeners to get used to it.
Fang Xiao turned his head and gave a follow-up look, then lowered his head slightly, holding a guitar in his left hand, raising his right hand high, and his fingers in a V-shape, as if holding a flag, walked out of behind the bar with three girls, and walked all the way towards the stage.
His arrogant behavior of not looking at it and burying his head in walking, not only did not cause dissatisfaction, but made the guests extremely excited, and they returned to their seats one after another, some began to applaud, and some even whistled twice, such a frivolous behavior is probably the first time to appear in this bar.
Li Bo was also very simple, he directly interrupted the music that was only half played, stood up to welcome them, and said: "Xiao Fang, I am an old bone, but I can't stop the scene, and this will be your world in the future." ”
"What did Lieber say?" Fang Xiao stepped onto the stage and said with a smile: "I'm just grandstanding, how can I compare with a few seniors." ”
Li Bo laughed twice, waved his hand, and walked off the stage and went to the bar.
"I find you very good at talking." After Xu Xu followed him to the stage, he asked in a low voice: "Why did you use to be a stupid goose?" ”
"Actually, Fang Xiao has long since died, and I am wearing his skin Da Liu."
"Disgusting!" Xu Xu nudged him lightly and said, "Don't say such scary things, okay." ”
What's scary......
Obviously it's just a joke, okay......
Ada sped up the pace of bartending, and when Fang Xiao cleaned up the stage and said a few words about the details of the singing, he also got the remaining dozen glasses of wine.
After the guests were all seated, Fang Xiao began to speak: "Everyone, fortunately, I was busy sweating, and finally wrote the four songs. ”
Although he knew this, this sentence still made the guests stir up a little.
"Time is precious, so I won't say much, so I'll sing the first song first." Fang Xiao moved the stool away just now, he carried the guitar on his back with a strap, stood in front of the microphone, and said, "What I want to sing is a love song, a breakup love song with a strong sense of rhythm." ”
"Love is like the evening breeze in spring, although it is beautiful and warm, but once it is gone, no one can keep it. A philosopher once said that when you can laugh, don't cry, and since there is nothing to spare, why be sad? Why don't you be happy, dance, stomp your feet, and swing to see it off. ”
Then he began to sing, singing Wu Bai's "Evening Wind".
“……
Blow slowly and send gently
The road of life, you go
Just because we don't have a tomorrow
Just when the two of us were just in front of us
Even when I never left
It still fills your heart
Your eyes are full of anticipation
My heart is full of the future
Love and love are in the air
Finding that the feeling is gone
Silently, you refuse to speak
……”
The rhythm of this song is very good, he doesn't look at the guitar when he plays and sings, he moves around the stage, beats with body language, interacts with the three girls and the guests present, and it doesn't take long for the atmosphere of the audience to be mobilized, and everyone can't help but follow his rhythm and hum along.
The middle-aged man who was with Sasha heard half of it, turned around and said, "Uncle Bao, this song is very infectious, and it is very suitable for Li Pinzhe." ”
Uncle Bao clenched his hands into fists, simulating the action of beating the drum, and with Fang Xiao's rhythm, he struck up and down, and Wen Yan just nodded.
Kungo commented: "He should have replaced Martin with a Gibson guitar, so that the strumming would be better." ”
Sasha clasped her hands on her chest, pursed her lips, her eyes flickered, and her face changed as she looked at the stage.
At the end of the song, Fang Xiao let go of the guitar, made a pistol shape with both hands, maintained the rhythm just now, and shot at the bar from left to right, and then asked loudly: "Is this song a nonsense?!" If you think it's made up, please put your hands up! ”
The audience almost shouted "no" in unison, and then applauded enthusiastically, and the sound of 100 people seemed to tear down the roof, and the atmosphere jumped directly from the bath water of fifty or sixty degrees to the boiling point of steaming steam.
After the voice subsided, Fang Xiaocai said with a smile: "The rhythm of this song can only be regarded as strong, not exciting, in fact, I can also write a powerful song, but considering the guests tonight, the men's clothes and leather shoes, and the women's beads and rings are green, not suitable for too high, all of them have not been taken out, and the next time everyone changes into light clothes, let's be high!" ”
The guests applauded and applauded again.
"Here's Miss Jordan's song." Fang Xiao stretched out his hand, took her forward very gentlemanly, and said, "When I walked into the bar today, she was singing a song with a nostalgic jazz style, which is very good, I see that you all like it very much, so I drew a scoop with a gourd and wrote a song with a similar style." ”
Then he let go, stepped back, and let go of the microphone, Qiao Yadan turned his head and glanced at him with a bright look, and then he was facing the audience, her typhoon was very steady, although she was wearing the uniform of a waiter, she was generous, without a trace of crampedness and unease.
The song sung by Qiao Yadan is written and composed by Huang Zhan, and Ye Qianwen originally sang "Evening Wind", which is the episode of Tsui Hark's "Film Studio" entrepreneurial work "Shanghai Night", some music critics once thought that this is the most vital song in Ye Qianwen's acting career, after being released in 1984, after more than 20 years, Xu Xiaofeng, Cui Taojing, Wang Zhilei and other diva-level singers have covered it.
Tsui Hark's filming of "Shanghai Night", which tells the story of the love of two women and a man on the beach in Shanghai during the anti-Japanese war, Huang Zhan was amazing, and when making the soundtrack, from the classic song "Night Fragrance" in old Shanghai, he used the lyrics and melody of "The south wind blows cool, and the nightingale cries sadly" to compose this "Evening Breeze", so the music style has a strong old Shanghai nightclub style.
Ten miles of foreign field, hundreds of zhang red dust, brilliant lights, drunk dreams and death, like a dream in the night wind, Qiao Yadan's voice is really natural, not soft, not sweet, and because of this, there is a little less wind and dust in the song, more plain, there is a taste of the passage of time and no longer the dream, which makes people spontaneously feel that "the dance pavilion is always blown away by the rain and the wind".
This song is very much in line with the temperament of the bar and the taste of the guests, so as soon as she finishes singing, she immediately bursts of applause and continues to applaud.
Fang Xiao's applause just now was more noisy and lively, but it was he who teased it with words and actions, and the applause was very floating, but this time, the applause was plain and full of appreciation.
When Fang Xiao played and sang by himself just now, he was flamboyant, and when he accompanied Qiao Yadan, he stood quietly behind, restrained and low-key, almost becoming an invisible person, Brother Kun applauded and admired, and said: "I can write and sing, I can advance and retreat, I am a genius!" Boss Wang, I suggest you hurry up and sign him, this kid has more prospects for development than the Li who you are a baby. ”
"Not only that, but not only that!" Uncle Bao was very excited, he wrenched his fingers, and said: "He has changed three genres in a row, from folk to soft rock, and then from light rock to jazz - of course, he can't be regarded as orthodox jazz, but has a little jazz flavor - you listen to the melody he accompanies without a little hesitation, obviously every style of music can be at ease." ”
"It is difficult to write three or five songs in half an hour, but it is not too difficult, Lin Zhicheng once wrote ten songs in an hour, and it is rare that his three songs have a very high degree of completion, and there is almost no need to make any changes, you can go directly to the recording studio, which is the level of a top music producer! I think he can become the second Lin Zhicheng, Xiao Wang, if you can recruit him, your company may be the next Skylark Records. ”
Lark Records is China's most powerful local record company in the world, no less influential than international giants such as EMI EMI and Warner, Lin Zhicheng is the signature figure of Lark Records, in the late 80s to the early 21st century, wrote a lot of popular golden songs.
The middle-aged man stared at the stage and nodded repeatedly, and Sasha pursed her lips tightly, as if she wanted to bite her lips and eat them into her stomach.
