A cheerful dinner party was held at the "Come on, Takeda!" At the end of the farewell, the guests and hosts were happy.

Wu Sheng temporarily said goodbye to the warm restaurant that had given him great help in the beginning.

Without the care of Chef Ryoko and Mr. Kyono, he would not have been able to draw manga with Nami without any income at that time.

I will definitely be troubled and sorrowful in the anxiety of sitting and eating.

But it was because of the huge income earned by GM Tokyo's part-time job that he and Nami's "gambling for manga" became "fighting for manga".

Sanji still stayed in the restaurant to continue to learn to help, and he learned less than 50% of the skills of Ohana, and in addition to Ohana, Lunzi, Moe E, and Aizawa in the restaurant are all top chefs, all of whom have their own unique skills.

After all, GM Tokyo is a restaurant that wants to be the best in the world and try to win three Michelin stars.

Sanji, there are still some learnings.

After that night, it was another Monday.

Everyone is back to normal life.

Takekatsu and Luffy entered an intense rehearsal.

Saturday's rehearsal sounded OK to a layman like Nami and Usopp.

Even if it is used to perform at the campus festival, the students and the audience outside the school can't say anything bad, maybe the effect is not bad.

But now Wu Sheng and Brooke have different goals.

They want to come out with an album and they want to make their debut!

The gap between amateur and professional is not ordinarily large.

Just like during this afternoon's rehearsal, Luffy's drums, Wusheng's bass, Brooke's guitar, and Keya's keyboards were all taken out separately.

Together, it's a bit messy.

This kind of clutter is difficult for ordinary people to hear.

But all four of them have been learning music for a certain period of time, so they can naturally hear it and feel it.

Except for Luffy, all three of them realized that there were still some serious problems with their cooperation.

Luffy was a little excited so the drum beat was a little fast, while Wu Sheng, who was also in the rhythm group, played slower because he had the memory of the original song.

Brooke added his own understanding to the guitar, but Khaya followed the score in a decent way.

But in this way, the performance of the four people is actually not on the same frequency.

"It's not that hard to solve this problem." Brooke put the guitar on the stand.

He asked for the bass in Takesheng's hand, and taught while playing: "Takeda, you have to connect my guitar with Luffy's drums, this is the bassist's job." ”

Rock music has this definition of a good bass player: a good bass player who avoids the audience's attention to what the bass is playing.

In most cases, because the bass has a low audio and most of the songs are not played throughout, the presence of the bassist in the band is very low.

How low? There's a joke like this:

A performance in which the host introduces the band to the audience.

Introduce the lead singer, the lead singer soars a high note; Introducing the guitarist, the guitarist came to the solo with the guitar; Introducing the drummer, the drummer popped and came to the speed drum SOLO; Introducing the keyboard, the keyboard player also comes to the paragraph SOLO; When the bass was introduced, the bass player put down the bass and had a hip-hop dance......

The bass can never be the protagonist of the band, this instrument was originally born for the band, it was invented to set off other instruments, and the green leaves are the true colors.

However, in a band performance, without the bass of the bass, whether it is a drum or a guitar, it will sound very harsh and chaotic like noise.

The bass is such a team instrument, if a person is compared to a band, the drum is the heart, the guitar is the face, and the lead singer is the brain, then the bass is the limbs.

It's unimportant, it's nonexistent, but it's indispensable, and it's one of the cores that bind the entire band together.

Wu Sheng's performance level is naturally no problem, and the difficulty of the bass is really low, as long as he is a person with a normal IQ and sound fingers, he can use it to bounce around after studying for an hour

Pop the sound to come.

Even compared to the bassist who usually only has a low-handle fretboard, Wu Sheng is even stronger, and he also has a certain level of skill in the high-handle fretboard that can be SOLO.

This is a rare thing, and most bands have outrageous requirements for their bassists, as long as they can bounce low.

High-top? Why practice? There's no room for bass SOLO anyway, so why bother?

Wu Sheng's level and skills are very good, but he obviously does not achieve the role of connecting the band.

Brooke teaches Takekatsu: "Luffy's drums are obviously unstable, and he is too easily affected by his own emotions to affect the rhythm. ”

"So what?" Wu Sheng asked, "How can I connect you together?" ”

"You do the rhythm dominance core, Luffy follows your rhythm." Brooke said to Luffy, "Come on, you try to follow my rhythm again." ”

Luffy was a little confused, but he still did as Brooke said and picked up the drum stick.

The two played the accompaniment score again.

As he plays, Brooke continues to strengthen his plucking power.

Luffy keenly captured this intensity, beat the drum beat, and quickly adjusted.

The bass of the bass is not noticeable in the drumbeat, as if the beat is still dominating the rhythm.

But if you look closely at the interaction and cooperation between the two, you will find that Luffy's drum beat follows the rhythm of Brooke's bass.

Play it all over again.

Wu Sheng suddenly realized and said that he understood.

Originally, the band was supposed to follow the drums, but under Luffy's unstable performance of going crazy from time to time, the drums obviously couldn't be used as the core of the rhythm.

Then the more stable Wusheng bass dominates the rhythm of the entire band, and it has become the only choice.

Although following Wu Sheng somewhat lowered the status of the drums in the band.

But who is with everyone, Luffy doesn't care about stealing the limelight or anything, they are all partners, just be happy.

Then they played together a few more times.

When Wusheng's bass and Luffy's drum rhythm slowly converged, Brooke's guitar quickly found its position, and then Keya's keyboard also cut in well.

Although there are still some minor problems overall, in terms of rhythm, they have crossed the passing line.

From this point of view, the musical talent and level of the four have reached a certain level.

After a round of rehearsals, Wu Sheng began to play the recordings recorded with his mobile phone, and began to look for problems little by little, many bands would not point out problems in public during rehearsals, most of them would carefully consider the wording or bring it up privately, and even the more serious ones would not say anything.

Because young people, young and vigorous face-loving, you say I have a problem, don't you just slap me in the face in public? Can the band still be formed? Can music still be played?

Fortunately, several people did not have this problem, so everyone was in a hurry to find and solve the problem.

Just like this, I was looking for a rehearsal while practicing, and before I knew it, it was already dusk and sunset.

The four of them cleaned up the guys, and Wu Sheng put the entry-level bass equipped by the school in the cabinet in the activity room.

Today's rehearsal touched his heart a little.

Sure enough, no matter what it is, as long as you are going to go professionally, you will definitely encounter quite a lot of problems.

If they only play according to the level of the school club, then they are already OK, and even in Usopp's opinion, they have reached the level of excellence.

But if you want to look at the album by their debut, they are just passable, and there is still a long way to go.

But they don't have much time right now, and this week's campus festival is just a simple live performance, and it doesn't matter.

But in this way, the time for the release of the album seems to be far away again, whether it is to release an underground record or find a record company to sign a contract, it seems that it is not enough.

None of their bands are at the professional level, and they may be persuaded to quit by the record company, or only 1 or 2 people in the band, and the other worse ones will be made up by musicians under the record company, such as Luffy.

But Wu Sheng, they won't agree to it.

According to Brooke's idea, we should practice together for at least 2 weeks before we can record a demo and send it to the record company.

"Okay." Wu Sheng nodded regretfully: "It's because I'm too anxious and think about things too simply." ”

"Huh." Keya disagreed: "I think we can record a crude DEMO and send it to the record company first, anyway, it's not so quick to give back?" Isn't it? ”

"That's right." Brooke nodded: "But professional recording studios are expensive. ”

Keya smiled softly and proudly, patting her chest: "I have it at home!" Just go to my house and record it! ”

"Huh?" Wu Sheng was taken aback: "Your family, well, does your godmother agree to your debut in a band?" ”

You are the only heir to the consortium, the real daughter!

"What did she disagree with." Keya smiled and said, "This is my own life, Takeda-san, of course it's up to me!" ”

"Okay~" Wu Sheng spread his hands, the rich second generation wants to be a star a lot, they also have capital, basically don't have to worry about persecution and unspoken rules, background is the same thing, it's a big deal not to play.

If they can't realize their dreams, they will have to go back and inherit tens of millions of family properties.

"Then after the campus festival this weekend, go to Keya's house?" Luffy asked.

"Let's see how it progresses." Brooke wasn't optimistic.

"Don't worry, I have a tacit understanding with Takeda! Be sure to do it all by Friday! Luffy patted his chest and assured loudly.

"Hahahaha." Wu Sheng smiled: "Then I'm going to buy my own bass." ”

Brooke was stunned: "Isn't this one good at school?" ”

"Huh?" Wu Sheng was stunned: "Aren't you going to make your debut?" Then you must have your own professional instrument as soon as possible, whether it is familiarity and timbre control, it takes time, right? ”

"The sooner the better."

"Yes." Brooke put on his guitar and didn't say much, waving goodbye: "Call me when it's time to buy it, I'll help you take a look." ”

Wu Sheng was resolute: "Then today." ”

"Eh......" Brooke thought for a while, but still refused: "It's still tomorrow, the arrangement of the next two songs feels almost bad, tonight I finished revising the rest, and the dominant instrument has changed, I have to see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted." ”

He stayed up until 4 a.m. yesterday to finish "Until the End of the World" and "The People Who Fought the Monster Called Reality", but there were still some flaws.

With 4 songs arranged in 10 days, Brooke's musical talent is undoubted.

"Okay, then tomorrow." Wu Sheng nodded.

Khaya and Usopp also said goodbye to them.

Wu Sheng looked at the time, but instead of going home, he walked up to the rooftop with Luffy and waited for 20 minutes, and after the seal corrosion of the golden arrow on his body began to attack again, he directly entered the realm of sin, and poured a few bottles of healing potions.

Luffy took the magic mirror and began to continue searching for Athena from transmission site to station.

After some tossing, Luffy's soul power was exhausted.

Still nothing.

By the time the two of them came out of the realm of sin, it was already dark.

However, as the campus festival approaches, there are still many students in the school, and the entire teaching building and laboratory building are brightly lit.

It seems that all classes and clubs are in full swing preparing for the campus festival.

A warm and tense atmosphere pervades the school.

Wu Sheng felt the special atmosphere that was difficult to feel in Huaxia High School, and sighed that the life of Neon High School was really as wonderful as the legend.

Walking out of school side by side with Luffy at night.

One of the three major problems in life automatically arises in the minds of the two.

"What's going to eat tonight?"

"Ramen?"

"Yes."

"Let's go!"
