Chapter 297 0297, Bold Attempt (1)
“!x-on:#¥%^&*…”
In the practice room of Tang Yun Music Studio, Yunfeng and others are practicing together.
The most basic components of a band are:
The lead singer (Vocals), is the soul of the band, that is, the guy who always likes to stand in the front and act cool during performances. At the same time, the role of vocals in rock music is self-evident. After all, the human voice is the most expressive. Pop metal requires a sexy and magnetic voice, death metal requires a low and oppressive voice, black metal requires a high and miserable voice, and avant-garde metal requires some kind of bel canto singing... With a good lead singer, a band is half successful.
Guitar (Guitar), the most important instrument in rock music, electric guitars are amplified and distorted by effects, making harsh and noisy sounds, which is the main feature of heavy metal.
Bass Guitar, that is, bass guitar, is an indispensable instrument in electric bands. Bass has the function of stabilizing harmony.
Drums, the reason why it is used in the plural form is that there is never only one drum used in rock music, such as tom-toms, snare drums, war drums, bass drums, cymbals, and cymbals are the basic ones.
Keyboards, a good keyboard arrangement can bring richer effects to the music, which is sometimes impossible to achieve with pure guitars and drums.
But...
Yunfeng and his team are short of people.
Because guitars are divided into rhythm guitars and lead guitars, but they only have four people.
So, another person was pulled in.
Who? Su Feiyan.
Because he happened to be able to play keyboards, Li Junyi, who was originally responsible for keyboards, switched to guitars.
The remaining bassist and drummer remain unchanged, still Xia Dachuan and Ji Yubei.
Don't say that the few people they gathered on a whim have a chemical reaction, but there are also problems.
At present, from the technical level of musical instruments, only Yunfeng and Ji Yubei have reached the professional level.
Yunfeng gave the number of times of the special skill [Free·Skill] this year to [Skill Guitar: Amateur·Easy to Use], which has been upgraded.
Ji Yubei studied Western musical instrument performance at the Conservatory of Music, and mainly practiced drums.
The remaining three people are still amateurs in terms of their corresponding instrument skills.
There is a tolerance for mistakes in recording songs, so it won't have much impact. It may be more difficult to perform live.
"Why don't we all find a teacher to learn, and our level will improve faster." Xia Dachuan suggested.
"Well, I think it's okay." Su Feiyan agreed.
"Okay." Li Junyi agreed.
The three of them realized this.
Chen Cheng, who was standing by, heard this and said, "I know some good bassists, guitarists, and keyboardists. I can help you get in touch with them."
Yunfeng replied, "Thank you, Brother Chen. I'll pay for it."
Immediately, without giving Xia Dachuan, Su Feiyan, and Li Junyi a chance to refute, he said, "I wrote a song for our band. I'll send the instrumental music chart to the WeChat group. You can download it and try to practice it first."
They were no longer surprised by Yunfeng's efficiency.
Everyone's face was full of excitement.
How can you not be excited to release the first single?
This song was customized by Yunfeng using the system.
Because he didn't remember many songs of the band on Earth in his previous life, the only two were Beyond's "Really Love You" and "No More Hesitation" that he learned when he was learning guitar with his roommate in junior high school. However, these two songs are Cantonese songs. With the failure of "Like You" before, he will temporarily save them for later.
The song customized this time is "Ten Thousand Times of Sadness" by the band Escape Plan.
A very nice song.
The refreshing melody gives you a feeling that your ears can breathe.
The lyrics are also plain language, not the kind of gorgeous words, but simple and plain, singing the most sincere and lifelike words, without the ambiguity of beating around the bush and hesitating to say something, but some are straightforward and generous.
Xia Dachuan and others got the instrument score chart and began to get familiar with it.
Zheng Rong began to read the lyrics.
His expression was calm as usual, but his mood was ups and downs.
The lyrics were sad and powerful, lamenting the departure of love and calling for the arrival of love.
He was a little looking forward to what it would be like to sing with the music.
After a while.
Yunfeng said to Xia Dachuan and others: "Come on, try it once."
If you don't practice, how can you know where the problem is.
First, don't sing it, and go through the accompaniment.
A fast song exposed the shortcomings of Xia Dachuan, Su Feiyan and Li Junyi's amateur instrument skills. They couldn't control the speed of the rhythm well.
However, practice makes perfect.
Over and over again.
The whole day of practice on Saturday had some effect. Compared with the first time, it was a world of difference.
After dinner, I came back.
"Sister Xiaoyu, Miss, my brother and his friends are going to sing. Do you want to go and see?" Yunfeng rented a floor with eight 40-square-meter apartments. At first, five were used. Later, Chen Cheng and Tan Hui came and used two more. The remaining one was given to Yunyun, so that she would have a place to stay during holidays.
"Go, wait for me for a minute." Tang Yu's voice came from the bathroom.
"They didn't sing a word all day today. I thought they were just practicing accompaniment." Yi Xiaoxiao came out while wiping her hands.
The three girls came to the practice room together.
Yunyun saw that her brother and his friends were still adjusting their instruments, so she said, "I'm not late."
Yi Xiaoxiao smiled and said to Li Junyi: "Don't hold back."
Li Junyi grinned and said, "Wait to see my wonderful performance."
Chen Cheng approached Tan Hui and asked, "Have you read the title of this song?"
Tan Hui had some personal matters to deal with today and came back in the afternoon. She replied: "I just took a look."
Chen Cheng then asked: "How?"
Tan Hui didn't answer and asked: "Do you know music theory?"
Chen Cheng shook his head.
Tan Huizai wanted to make it easier to understand, but at this moment, the sound of Yunfeng and the guitar suddenly sounded, so she had to give up.
"Oh honey
All I think about is you
Oh, irresistible heart palpitations
It’s hard to breathe…”
Listening, Tang Yu and the other girls all waved their hands.
This song "Ten Thousand Times of Sorrow" has a strong sense of rhythm and rhythm.
Somehow, Chen Cheng's eyes would glance to the side unconsciously during the lyrics and melody.
Tan Hui was a little dazed. This sentence "Every tear is ten thousand rays of light, and the darkest place becomes brighter. My rushing warm current, looking for your ocean, I am destined to be like this", sang to her heart Here, it also brought back some past events.
Yun Yun hugged Tang Yu's arm and whispered: "Sister Xiao Yu, my brother has written a song for you again."
Tang Yu smiled lightly and said, "This one shouldn't be the one."
She will not make the same mistake as before, substituting herself or others into the characters described in the lyrics.
If the song is written for her, I will usually tell her about it.
If nothing else is said, it is a song that Yunfeng put into a situation and wrote it, without referring to anyone in particular.
After singing, Yunfeng praised: "It's very good. I'll be able to record it if I practice the coordination more perfectly."
Xia Dachuan and others were very happy.
However, I remember another song.
They all had very different thoughts, but one idea was very consistent - this song was bound to be a hit.
After two weeks of running in and practicing, I finally recorded the song "Ten Thousand Times of Sorrow".
————
Time flies, and November is here in a blink of an eye.
For more than a month, the two variety shows "Chinese Good Songs" and "I Am a Singer" have been going back and forth in terms of TV ratings and online views, with each other winning and losing, but neither of them can escape the "high rise and low" trend. Go" is an indisputable fact.
The first round of blind selection of mentors in "Chinese Good Songs" has also ended, and it's time to enter the second round of strong song competition.
"Ahhhh, it's finally here!"
"It's perfect. The second round of Qiange Battle begins with Teacher Chang Huan's team."
"Let's record it today. I'm so envious of the audience who can enjoy it for the first time."
"Moreover, besides Yunfeng, under Teacher Chang Huan, there are two other singer-songwriters that we can look forward to."
"Haha, I've already entered the infield!"
…
The song "Blue Flower" in the first episode amazed many people, and now their expectations for Yunfeng's second original song even exceed the "Chinese Good Songs" program itself.
Amid much anticipation, the recording began.
At the scene, the host was opening the show.
In the player area, footage of Chang Huan communicating with his students is being filmed simultaneously.
Yunfeng is naturally among them.
Chang Huan said to everyone: "Let's draw lots to decide the order of playing. It's fair to everyone."
No one had any opinion.
Each person chooses a paper ball, and the number written on it is the playing number.
"Ah, I'm the first!"
"It's okay, I'm third."
"You didn't want to switch with me. I'm fifth. I want to play early, but I don't want to be first."
…
The camera gave Yunfeng a close-up, and he also showed the unfolded paper to the screen, and saw an "8" written on it.
It's really kind of like fate.
Because what he took was the last remaining paper ball.
