Chapter 299: 299
Joshua Cranston (Joshua. Cranston) just arrived at Columbia University last week to become a student of this top American school. This is the first time he has taken to the streets of New York to appreciate the charm of the city. Although everything in this city is so fresh and lively, Joshua was a little disappointed. The surging crowd almost drowned out all the scenery in sight, and the characteristics between the streets disappeared, and the crowd was exactly the same. Make the city boring.
Came to the famous Times Square, but disappointed the teenager from Butler, a small town in Alabama. Joshua's hometown is a small town with a population of less than 20,000 people. The bustling and noisy big city, but after entering this world, Joshua was disappointed in less than a week, and he still misses the tranquility and comfort of the small town even more.
Joshua sighed and prepared to go back to the school dormitory. He left Times Square along the street. He didn't know where he was, but he had only walked less than a hundred yards. A band was performing on the side of the road. He stopped. If the only thing that can make Joshua interested in New York is the music flowing in the blood of the city, the performers that can be seen everywhere on the streets make Joshua full of interest, but unfortunately, today Joshua is full of interest. Didn't find a rock band, and he happened to be a true lover of rock music.
The so-called band in front of me is actually not a "band", because there are only two people, a drummer and a guitarist, and there is not even a lead singer, and the bass is nowhere to be seen. With such a broken combination, it is estimated that it is more suitable to sing double reeds. But what is surprising is that the cooperation between these two people makes Joshua feel that kind of heroic feeling that directly hits the heart, and this kind of feeling can only be brought by the top bands of Nirvana, Guns and Roses. the feeling of coming.
Simple drum beats and simple string sounds don't sound complicated, but at close range, the naked eye can directly see the movements of the hands of the two players flying up and down. When I came out, a wave of shock after wave hit my face, making Joshua firmly nailed in place: this is the real charm of New York!
One person, two people... Unconsciously, at least twenty onlookers gathered around Hugo and Fu Jin. Everyone was full of interest watching this weird combination, and at the same time, the wonderful melody played for the two people couldn't help it. Clap and applaud, the feeling of a faintly pulling contest becomes more and more tense as the melody gradually reaches its climax, but since the guitarist has more room to play, laymen feel that the guitarist has a slight upper hand, but the real expert You can feel the strong control of the drummer, and not fall behind.
Halfway through the melody in Hugo's hand, the lyrics in his mind surged out like the sun shining through the thin clouds in the sky. In fact, the creation itself has become Hugo's instinct, and he will always subconsciously. Hope to combine the melody with the lyrics. Originally, Hugo didn't intend to create this collaboration. It was just like playing guitar along with Fu Jin's drums, but I didn't expect that the sparks from the two people would actually evolve the competition into a special echo, the restraint between each other. Instead, the melody becomes more chemical, and the lyrics bloom in my mind like fireworks.
So, Hugo looked up at Fu Jin and raised his eyebrows. Fu Jin and Hugo were not familiar with each other. He could not read Hugo's eyes, but as a drummer, Fu Jin had extraordinary control over the band. , he also felt the hearty sense of catharsis in the melody, and Hugo's eyes seemed to mean that the next cooperation was actually changed. So, subconsciously, Fu Jin slowed down the fierce drum beat and returned to the original uniform sound of cymbals.
Then, Fu Jin saw a big smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth. This is so confident that only a real lead singer has the confidence!
"I am so happy, because today, I have found my friends, they are in my head..." Hugo sang loudly. In fact, when there was no microphone at the scene, Hugo's voice was easily confused by the instruments and the The surrounding noise was drowned out, but both Hugo and Fujin tacitly reduced the force on their fingers to weaken the influence of the instrument, and Hugo's energetic voice was like a sharp sword, penetrating through. Layer upon layer of obstacles, the edge shines from the melody.
In fact, as a singer, Hugo's skills are not very good, but Hugo knows the correct way of vocalization, and after the accumulation of experience over time, Hugo's skills in live singing have become more and more proficient, and he may enter the recording. After the studio, Hugo's weaknesses will be exposed a lot, for example, when he recorded the ending song for "Yihai Xiongfeng" before, but in the live performance, Hugo's appeal made up for many shortcomings, enough to make the song's The truth is explained.
When Fu Jin heard the lyrics sung by Hugo, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously. This lyric seems to be talking about him. As the protagonist, Fu Jin revealed his inner joy before he realized it: It is indeed a joy to be able to deal with such a powerful and talented musician. However, Hugo's next words froze the smile on Fujin's mouth.
"I'm so ugly, but it's okay, because you are too, let's smash the mirror together." Hugo's lyrics are full of self-deprecating ridicule and catharsis, which makes people involuntarily draw a ridiculous smile, but the negative emotions in their minds However, he vented out quietly under the guidance of guitar and drums, but Fu Jin, who thought he was the protagonist, was instantly darkened by such lyrics: 囧.
"Every day I only look forward to Sunday morning, I am not afraid, lit my candle, in a state of dizziness, because I have found the main god." Hugo's voice was deeper than usual, letting the original mellow voice It becomes rougher, as if a hand is frantically tossing on the soft velvet, and then this beautiful fabric becomes messy in an instant, but it makes the high-quality velvet reflect more brightly under the light of light.
At this time, Hugo raised his eyes and glanced at Fu Jin. Fu Jin was stunned by Hugo's lyrics, but his attention was highly concentrated. After he received Hugo's gaze, he knew that the breaking point was coming. It was as if Fu Jin suddenly accelerated the drum beat for the first time just now. As soon as the drum beat of the big drum fell, the entire melody entered the rhythm of a wild horse in an instant. Then Fujin saw that Hugo seemed to be jumping on the spot, and suddenly all the breath in the depths of his dantian exploded, the blue veins on his neck burst out instantly, and then a voice full of tyrannical and destructive breath was like a Satan demon. It usually emerges from the melody.
"Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!" Hugo was just using the simplest onomatopoeia to interpret the melody, but the sense of explosion that collapsed in an instant was so magical, it was as if a skyscraper suddenly went from zero to zero. When it reaches 100, it collapses and turns into powder in an instant. This kind of straight up and down jumps and explosions bring the tyranny of the music to the extreme. The emotion is like being shot by a machine gun, and it is full of holes in an instant.
More than Fujin, all the people around were dumbfounded. Looking at Hugo's bulging veins, Joshua only felt like his blood vessels were exploding. The release in his voice immediately pushed Joshua's emotions to a climax. His entire face flushed red, and he kept breathing heavily. From the clenched fists to the tense muscles in his body, Joshua only felt himself The body was like a battlefield, and it became a mess in Hugo's raging voice. But what followed was not pain, but the fun and boldness of emotional venting, which made the adrenaline in Joshua's body instantly turn his eyes red.
But after a short two and eight beats, the melody suddenly calmed down again. This extreme contrast is like the two layers of ice and fire, which makes people so happy that they immediately lose their language ability.
"I'm so lonely, but it's okay, I shaved my head, I'm not sad, maybe I'll condemn all the hearsay, but I'm not sure. I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you, but I don't care, I'm so Hungry. Thirsty, but okay, my wishes are good."
At this time, Fu Jin finally understood Hugo's lyrics. Hugo was describing his own collapse, but also Fu Jin's collapse, and then used personal collapse as a metaphor for the collapse under the enormous pressure of the entire social reality. The whole song is immersed in a kind of loss and fear because of the rendering of the lyrics. No one in the society can be an exception, but through this song, he finds a piece of pure land in his heart that belongs to him.
This kind of mixed emotions similar to venting, confusion, and rebirth were vividly brought out by Hugo's temporary melody constructed by the two of them. Fu Jin couldn't help but sigh, he had to admire. Although in the eyes of outsiders, Fu Jin and Hugo are evenly matched, but Fu Jin knows that the initiative was originally in his own hands, but now the two are evenly divided, which shows that Hugo may not have the best technology Yes, but his understanding of melody and control of creation are above him, which makes him lose the initiative invisibly.
Of course, this is a good thing and normal. If the drummer takes the lead, it's definitely not a good thing for the band. Even if Fukukin knew this, he was once again impressed by Hugo's abilities. If the last rock night Hugo was dazzling, then today Hugo is absolutely stunning.
While thinking, the drumbeat in Fujin's hand suddenly accelerated again, and Hugo's voice burst out with amazing energy again, "Yeah, yeah!" The energy of tearing through the fog and the darkness was brought into full play in the melody. , burst out with a bomb-like effect.
