Chapter 165: Practice for a new song
“…… Why are you looking at me like that? ”
After leaving the scene, seeing Zheng Jia's strange expression, and the eyes staring directly at him, Sun Peng instantly became a little hairy, and said with a grin: "Jiajia, if you keep staring at me like this, people will be embarrassed to ......."
"Virtue!"
Zheng Jia, who came back to his senses, turned dark and scolded angrily.
But after listening to all the songs and dances, she was a little shocked. Especially after experiencing the initial impact of Little Apple, the next few songs opened her eyes, and her eyes when she looked at Sun Peng were instantly full of tenderness and sweetness, and she couldn't wait to turn into a pool of spring water......
It's a pity that the good atmosphere was all ruined by this guy!
But......
The song just now seemed to be still echoing in her ears, and the girl's face was soon watery again.
It's just that before she could express her agitated emotions to her boyfriend, Lao Zhao walked over in a big way: "Xiaopeng, that ...... Hehe, Jiajia, today's rehearsal is over, are you going to leave now? Let's go together. ”
Seeing Zheng Jia for the first time, Zhao Jinxiang was naturally full of curiosity.
However, Lin Lin obviously didn't give him this opportunity, stepped forward and grabbed his brother-in-law, and said loudly while squeezing his eyebrows: "Xiaopeng, they still have to stay and rehearse for a while, let's go first...... Hurry up! ”
Lao Zhao reacted and left in a daze.
Zheng Jia's little face turned red and red, and his pink and tender lips were bitten white.
A group of men left clean in an instant, leaving the band five and Sun Peng and the two of them. Li Yue plucked the strings and smiled: "Xiaopeng, let's practice again?" ”
"There's no hurry."
Waving his hand, Sun Peng took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, I want to discuss something with you first!" ”
"Oh?"
A few people exchanged glances, Li Yue nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, come on, let's sit down and talk!" ”
Finding a small bench to sit down, Sun Peng got straight to the point and said, "Brother Li, you also listened to it just now, there is still a problem with the cooperation between our two sides...... Of course, the main thing is that my level is not high, which drags everyone down. But what...... There is only one month left in the wedding, and the time is very tight, and I think it is too little to practice once a week! ”
"You want to increase the number of rehearsals?"
After listening to Sun Peng's words, Li Yue's brows suddenly furrowed.
"Yes, diligence can make up for it."
Sun Peng nodded and said seriously: "So I think more practice is the best way, if possible, I even hope to rehearse three or four times a week, so that after a month I will have a certain certainty." ”
After taking so many vocal lessons, Sun Peng has grown a lot.
Although there is a big gap with professional singers, if it is only a few songs and used on less elaborate occasions such as weddings, Sun Peng believes that if the practice is in place, the performance will definitely not be bad at that time. It's just that if you want to practice more, you have to ask for the permission of the band, after all, it depends on whether people have time!
So after a short pause, Sun Peng then added: "Brothers, I know this request is a bit excessive, but there is really no way...... If you agree, I can add a little more for my services. ”
"No, no, it's not about money!"
This time, without waiting for Sun Peng to finish speaking, Li Yue immediately waved his hand and said: "We originally played in a band as a hobby, no one is for money, and what we said before is enough...... Actually, there is a reason why we are late today, because we are very busy during this time...... I'm afraid I really can't spare any more time! ”
Seeing that Sun Peng didn't seem to believe it, Li Yue then explained: "To tell you the truth, although several of us have jobs, and we all have very good jobs, we all like music very much, so we formed a band to perform at your sister's wedding." But what...... We usually participate in other events, such as small music festivals, and this time we are also planning to participate in a TV audition in a year's time, so we have to take a lot of time to prepare. ”
"TV auditions?"
"Yes, a TV talent show called Best Band."
Bassist Yang Chen nodded and said, generously admitting: "Xiaopeng, let me tell you the truth, our brothers' family conditions are not bad, so I want to fight again while I am young to see if there is a chance to go down the road of music." This show will give albums to the top three bands, so ......"
opened his mouth, Sun Peng knew in his heart.
The basement rehearsal room in this downtown is Yang Chen's house, and none of the other people who can play the band with him are poor, so they probably don't care if they don't have money. And until now, they can still practice together two or three times a week, which shows how much they love music. Coupled with the fact that Sun Peng watched their performances in some venues at the beginning, it is indeed more popular, so it is no wonder that they have such thoughts.
But......
"Can't you just take some more time? Even once a week! ”
After frowning and muttering for a moment, Sun Peng cautiously asked with a glimmer of hope: "And let's rehearse for a maximum of two hours, I can usually practice with the music you recorded, it should be okay, right?" ”
"This ...... I'm so sorry. ”
His face was embarrassed, and after glancing at the others, Li Yue smiled bitterly: "Let me tell you, although this show does not absolutely require originality, it also clearly states that there will definitely be extra points, so we will try to write a few of our own songs during this time...... You've written so many songs yourself, you should understand, right? So I really can't move away from the time! ”
I understand, what do I understand?
With a roll of his eyelids, Sun Peng was truly speechless. Although it is quite difficult for him to "create" a song, the time is basically spent picking up the score, and then repeatedly recalling a little bit of revision, and he doesn't have to rack his brains like the real author, okay?
Looking at the relatively speechless scene of Sun Peng and the five members of the band, Zheng Jia opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally closed it.
But what Zheng Jia can think of, Sun Peng can't think of?
"These guys, they're really ......"
Looking at the helplessness on the faces of the five people in front of him, Sun Peng secretly sighed.
From the day he first saw Sun Peng's songs, Li Yue and the others were instantly shocked by him. After playing music for so many years, will your ability to appreciate good songs be poor? That's why a few guys who are not short of money will be so active in rehearsing an ordinary wedding, after all, who doesn't like to be able to play such excellent music?
But after a long time, careful thinking slowly came out.
Especially after Sun Peng made it clear that these songs, like the most romantic things, were his wedding gifts to his eldest sister, and the copyright would never be transferred, Li Yue took the opportunity of a dinner party to faintly ask for songs.
Of course, Sun Peng refused.
Because the anti-piracy is relatively strict, the music market in this world is also quite good, and those well-known composers have very considerable incomes, some of which are even comparable to first-line singers. But Sun Peng came to write books to make money easily, and secondly, his desire for money was not particularly strong, so he didn't think about writing songs for others or anything.
Otherwise, if the most romantic thing is sold, isn't it money?
But now Sun Peng found himself in a predicament. If people want to participate in the show, they need to have their own new songs, which of course takes a lot of time; And if you want people to spend more time practicing with you, you have to come up with something that saves them from spending time writing songs......
Damn, isn't that still giving them new songs?
Looking at the firm attitude of other bands, Sun Peng understood: I will definitely do what I promised you, and I will make up for it if I am late, but I want to increase the number and time of rehearsals - I'm sorry, we still have to write new songs to participate in the show......
I believe you have ghosts!
Just these guys in front of him, it's not Sun Peng who underestimates them, they are all really passionate about music, and their performance and singing skills are at a good level, and it's enough to be a professional. But when it comes to writing songs, if there is that level, can you still be unknown until now? It's not that Sun Peng hasn't heard the songs they wrote themselves, and he is naturally very good as an amateur, but he wants to enter the professional music scene......
Don't talk nonsense!
"Hehe......"
After a few years flashed in his mind, Sun Peng suddenly chuckled: "Brothers, I don't know how many new songs you need to participate in this show?" ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Sun Peng's words, Li Yue and the others were slightly stunned.
However, several people were not fools, and after glancing at each other, their eyes suddenly flashed with surprise and joy!
"Goo-dong!"
Swallowing hard, Li Yue said with a slightly trembling voice: "Actually, we also have two old songs that we are more satisfied with, and the show is not completely unable to sing other songs, so if there are three songs...... No, two new songs will do! ”
"Hehe, it's not much!"
Laughing again, Sun Peng said indifferently: "Then let's do it, you need time to pursue your dreams, and I really need to increase the number and time of rehearsals, so why don't we have a gentleman's agreement?" ”
"What gentleman's agreement?"
Li Yue had already calmed down and asked seriously.
"Practice changing new songs!"
First raised a finger, Sun Peng said with a smile: "If your brothers are willing to practice with me once a week, I will write a new song for you, if you have two songs, three songs...... Of course, three songs at most, and I don't have time to practice any more, haha! ”
"You wrote it all yourself?"
With his eyes widening, the bassist asked in surprise.
"Of course!"
Retracting the three fingers that had been erected, Sun Peng said indifferently: "And I promise, it is definitely a song that is very suitable for you, and the quality is not bad......"
