"You~" David Green looked at John Lee and a group of btbs.

"We have accompaniment music and don't need a live band." John Li said, "We will find a place in this hotel to practice and prepare by ourselves, so we don't need to bother you. Just wait for other people's rehearsals to end and notify us!"

Although John Lee was very annoyed that what he thought was easy to grab had suddenly turned into a competition with Xiao Yao, but David Green had already expressed his attitude, and Xiao Yao also agreed to compete with stage performance, and he had no other choice at this time. The seven people in btbs can only prepare to compete with Xiao Yao.

But having said that, btbs had prepared the stage performance in advance and rehearsed in advance, and he didn't believe that Xiao Yao could have expected this kind of thing to happen, so he probably didn't prepare for it. With less than two hours, he didn't believe that Xiao Yao's stage performance in such a short period of time would be more exciting than btbs, but he was not afraid to let btbs compare with Xiao Yao.

"Okay," David Green nodded, waved to a young man and said, "Vincent, help Yang find a place to rehearse!"

"Kordy..." David Green looked at Cody Scott again.

"Okay, my people, I'll talk!" Cordy Scott waved his hand. He knew what David Green meant for him to inform his musicians.

"Yang, what instruments and musicians do you need?" Cordy Scott turned to Xiao Yao and asked.

"I don't know either!" Xiao Yao said, "Why don't you let your people and instruments go, and we'll discuss which instruments to use while practicing."

"Okay," Cordy Scott said with a smile, "then I'll go too and see how you do it!"

"Please find a place with good sound insulation and a larger space." Cody Scott said to the young man called by David Green.

"Okay, I'll contact the hotel now." The young man said.

"You guys have to wait a while before we can start?" Tim Haggis suddenly got up and took Xiao Yao's arm, "Yang, can I talk to you alone?"

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded to Cody Scott, and walked with Tim Haggis to a corner away from the crowd.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yao asked.

"You go to rehearsal, I can't help you." Tim Haggis said, "Although you said that you invited me to lv to be your bodyguard, in fact, you are not in danger, at least not here tonight. It's going to be dangerous, isn't it?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"So, I want to leave now to do something." Tim Haggis said.

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"Don't you think those Koreans are acting weird?" Tim Haggis asked. "I feel like they know something will happen to Hopson."

"You want to investigate Hopson's food poisoning?" Xiao Yao said, "Do you suspect that they or they ordered someone to do it?"

"Isn't it doubtful?" Tim Haggis asked.

"You don't want to help me in this way, do you?" Xiao Yao smiled. "This kind of thing is very bad. If it gets out, the consequences will be serious. If they really ordered people to do it, there shouldn't be anything left behind." Obvious clues or evidence. I'm not saying you can't find it, but I don't think you can find it in two days. After two days, the awards ceremony is over."

"Help you? No, no, no," Tim Haggis shook his head again and again, "I'm not worried that you will be inferior to those Koreans. I'm just curious and skeptical. You know, I'm an FBI agent It is my professional attribute to be curious about cases."

"Okay, then go and investigate," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I won't delay your detective enthusiasm."

Tim Haggis left, and Xiao Yao returned to Cody Scott.

"Tim left beforehand." Xiao Yao explained simply.

"oh,

Cordy Scott nodded noncommittally, and said to Xiao Yao, "Come with me, let's meet my musicians first." "

The musicians of the band have a dedicated lounge. After the rehearsal, Cordy Scott jumped off the stage and came to the auditorium to chat with Xiao Yao, while the musicians packed up their instruments and went back to the lounge.

"Thank you very much!" Xiao Yao said to Cordy Scott.

Cordy Scott brought Xiao Yao to the lounge of the musicians, introduced Xiao Yao and the musicians to each other, and explained that they would be invited to accompany Xiao Yao and prepare for a performance. These musicians have more or less heard Jan Xiao's name and his songs, and they are not against collaborating with Xiao Yao, so they naturally have no objection to the decision made by Cordy Scott for them.

Xiao Yao expressed his thanks to the musicians, greeted them one by one, and the young man named Wen Sen brought some staff to the musicians' lounge.

Vincent has helped them contact the rehearsal place. The rehearsal room he was looking for was a VIP lounge in a hotel with good sound insulation. It was large enough to accommodate an entire band.

Xiao Yao is a candidate for a substitute performer, and the rehearsal is actually the responsibility of the organizer, so moving the instruments and arranging the rehearsal room are also the responsibility of the organizer, not just for the musicians of Cordy Scott to do it themselves . The people he brought were here to help the musicians carry their instruments. As for the needed speakers and other equipment, another person was arranged to move them there.

Although Xiao Yao is a candidate to perform, he doesn't have the airs of a big-name star. When helping the musical instrument, Xiao Yao also went up to help.

There are so many people and strength, everyone moved all the instruments to the lounge as a rehearsal room in one trip. Next, the preparations for placing the instruments and equipment, connecting and debugging equipment, and tuning the instruments were quickly completed. it is done.

"Yang, what kind of new song are you going to sing?" After the preparations were ready, Cody Scott picked up an acoustic guitar and handed it to Xiao Yao, "Play and sing by yourself, let's listen to the basics first. melody and lyrics."

"This~" Xiao Yao took the acoustic guitar, but didn't play it, and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I haven't thought it through yet!"

"What?" Curdy Scott asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you're going to sing a new song that hasn't been released yet? Don't tell me you're going to write it now!"

"Of course not!" Xiao Yao found a chair and sat down, holding the guitar in his arms, resting his elbows on the guitar, and pressing his two fingers on the temples on both sides, "I have a few alternatives, but I still have a few options. No decision has been made on which song to perform!"

"How many alternatives?" Cordy Scott breathed a sigh of relief, and then reminded, "Yan, we only have two hours! Why don't you sing us all the alternative songs, we have heard I’ll see if I can give you some advice later and help you choose a song.”

"Hmm~" Xiao Yao hesitated, looked up and saw a set of tambourines placed in front of a musician, a song flashed in his mind, he patted the body of the guitar and said, "I've made a decision! "

"Oh?" Cordy Scott said, "What song?"

"The title of the song is "the", a popular song." Xiao Yao moved his hands to the guitar neck and the strings above the sound hole respectively, and said, "Shall I sing it to you first?"

"The?" Cody Scott laughed, "Hopson has a problem and cannot attend the awards ceremony and performance. David is in trouble. You come to the bench. Are you talking about yourself?"

It means a solution, a solution. The title of the song fits the current situation.

"Actually not!" Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, pointed to the set of tambourines and said, "I just saw the tambourines, and I just remembered this song. This song is about other people's stories. The situation doesn't matter."

"Okay, let's hear what your song is like first." Cordy Scott also found a chair and sat down.

The song Xiao Yao is going to sing is a song by jasonmraz in his previous life. The real title of the song is actually "'tworry)", but Xiao Yao has never liked adding brackets, so he just omitted the latter part.

Of course, the original version of this song does not only have an acoustic guitar, but Xiao Yao is just letting everyone know the basic melody and lyrics of this song. It is still possible to play and sing with only an acoustic guitar.

Xiao Yao cleared his throat, waved his hands and played the prelude. Cordy Scott and the musicians nodded slightly when they heard the prelude. From the opening melody alone, they feel good.

When Xiao Yao began to sing, Cordy Scott and the musicians showed rather surprised expressions.

As musicians who have worked with Cordy Scott for a long time, these musicians are relatively close to Cordy Scott in terms of music taste and preferences. They all saw Xiao Yao for the first time tonight. Speaking of their impression of Xiao Yao's music style, apart from knowing that Xiao Yao is a member of the band Immortals and having heard some of his rock songs, the ones that impressed them the most were the folk songs "Perfect" and "Thinking Out Loud". The song Xiao Yao is singing now is different from these two styles.

"How do you feel?" After singing the entire song, Xiao Yao asked Cordy Scott.

"It feels good." Cody Scott nodded, "Although it's different from what I imagined, it's pretty good."

"Okay, that's it!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"How do you arrange the music?" Cordy Scott asked, "Do you need us to help you?"

"I have some ideas about the arrangement and soundtrack." Xiao Yao said, "Why don't I tell you my ideas first, and try to practice according to my arrangement plan. If you have better ideas, we can practice together. We are discussing and changing it!"

"Good!" Cordy Scott said.

"I need two guitars, an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, a bass, a keyboard, a drum kit, and a set of tambourines." Xiao Yao said, "I can bring the acoustic guitar myself!"

"Do you have score paper? I can write out the melody first, and then mark it for you according to different instruments, so that you can watch the score and play, which will save time!" Xiao Yao continued.

"Yes!" Cordy Scott waved to the assistant. During the rehearsal just now, Cordy Scott's assistant did not follow to the performance hall, but when he came to this rehearsal room for rehearsal, Cordy Scott's assistant followed.

Cordy Scott's assistant came over and gave Xiao Yao a pen and paper, and Xiao Yao turned over the acoustic guitar in his hand, put the paper on the back of the acoustic guitar, and began to write.

"So detailed?" Cody Scott stood aside and watched Xiao Yao write the score, and said in surprise, "It seems that you have a very mature and complete idea of ​​the arrangement of this song! If so, Why didn't you record this song and release it?"

"Because I'm lazy." Xiao Yao replied without raising his head while writing.

"Uh~" Cody Scott was speechless again.

"Okay." Xiao Yao distributed the written papers to several musicians and said, "Everyone needs to take a look first to get familiar with it, or start directly and watch the playing?"

"Of course we need to get familiar with it first." Several musicians laughed.

Several musicians took the score written by Xiao Yao and looked at it. In the process of watching, some people can't help but try to play a short section according to the music score.

"Okay, it's done!" A few minutes later, several musicians said to Xiao Yao one after another.

"Then come on!" Xiao Yao adjusted his sitting posture and picked up the guitar.

The drummer taps the hi-hat, the keyboardist and the electric guitarist move together, and then the bass joins in. After about ten seconds, Xiao Yao plucked the strings and joined the acoustic guitar with an accent from the drum set.

With the cooperation of multiple instruments, this prelude sounds several times more beautiful than the prelude played by Xiao Yao's single acoustic guitar before.

After the prelude, Xiao Yao entered the song accurately and began to sing.

Xiao Yao had sung this song before, but the soundtrack and accompaniment were changed, and the whole song sounded very different from before. It also felt several times more beautiful than the previous single acoustic guitar accompaniment.

"It's great!" Although there were some mistakes and flaws in the first rehearsal, after the performance of the whole song, Cordy Scott and other musicians still applauded sincerely. On his own praise.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao lowered his head with a smile, and said to the musicians who accompanied him, "You can perform like this in the first joint practice. You are all worthy of being professional musicians, and your performance is great! Thank you all !"

Several musicians smiled and waved their hands.

"However, after all, this is the first cooperation, and there are still some minor problems." Xiao Yao looked at the guitarist holding the electric guitar and said, "Robin, can I call you Robin? The twelfth part of the first paragraph just now At the first bar, your second note was a little faster by half a beat..."

"Hey, this guy is really rude!" Cody Scott laughed in his heart, "But his ears are really good, and he does have a high musical quality!"

These musicians are all experienced professional musicians, and Xiao Yao did get to the point, so Xiao Yao communicated with them relatively smoothly. After Xiao Yao briefly communicated with several musicians, everyone soon started the second round of joint practice.

In the second round of joint training, there are still some inevitable problems, but it has been greatly improved compared to the first round. Xiao Yao discussed and exchanged with the musicians again, and soon began the third round of joint practice.

By the third round of joint training, there were basically no obvious problems.

"Yang, you're really good! After practicing three times, it feels almost the same." Cody Scott said to Xiao Yao, "According to your efficiency, let alone two hours, maybe you won't even need one." Hours, no, maybe not even half an hour, you can rehearse the performance of this song."

"No, no, it's not that simple. This is not the version I'm going to perform later." Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head.

"What? No?" Curdy Scott asked strangely, "Then what are you practicing for?"

"What we are practicing now, except for a little less harmony, is basically what I will record the official version of this song in the studio in the future." Xiao Yao said, "The performance at the award ceremony is a live performance. Since it is a live performance For performance, I just want to play it properly, play something different, and don’t want to be the same as the studio version. This studio version is the foundation. Only when I practice this well, can I play tricks and let everyone Make some changes based on that.”

"You still want to play tricks?" Cordy Scott asked, "What tricks do you want to play?"
