Chapter 8 The Band
() Found the way home!
There is a wooden corner staircase on the west side of the bar. You can go up from the back of the bar area to the second floor through a right angle of 90 degrees. The second floor belongs to the private room and office area.
Without asking the waiter to help, Chen Fang and Shen Hui came to a sofa booth area near the stage with lemonade and milk tea. The sofa was semicircular, with a diameter of about three meters. The sofa was very large and soft. Sitting on it could trap people in. The two little girls took off their shoes, each occupying a sofa seat, and jumped there.
Chen Hui put the milk tea from the two girls on the coffee table, took the water cup from Chen Fang's hand and said, "I am a music bar, which starts at 2 pm and is open until 2 pm. There are performances starting at 7 pm every night. There are two fixed bands, and sometimes several professional singers who walk in the hole come to perform."
Chen Fang looked at the four people who were debugging musical instruments on the stage, three men and one woman. The four were not old and should be around twenty years old. They all took the hip-hop style route. The three boys were wearing a ponytail and a girl with a folk guitar on their backs should be the lead singer, wearing heavy makeup, dark green eyeshadow, and several dreadlocks on her head, restrained by a red hairband to the back of her ears. She wore a wide red T-shirt on her upper body and a straight ripped jeans on her lower body.
"Hello, Mr. Chen!" The girl should have recognized Chen Hui, then turned around and greeted several other people, came to the stage and greeted Chen Hui.
"You're welcome, you guys continue, I'll just take my brother over here to have fun." Chen Hui signaled them to be at will, no polite.
"You haven't left your major in the past few years, why don't you give them some guidance?" Chen Hui pointed to several people on the stage and said, "They are called Loft Band, and the lead singer is Li Xia. Xia Tian's Xia is only twenty years old this year. She has been singing in my place for more than half a year, and she sang about ten songs a day, which costs 3,000 yuan a day. Sometimes customers can get half the commission when they give flower baskets."
"Li Xia, sing your specialty song. Let my brother listen to it. He is a top student who graduated from the China Conservatory of Music." Chen Hui said to Li Xia on the stage.
"Okay, let's give Teacher Cui a song about "Nothing" to Boss Shen." Long-term stage experience left Li Xia without any stage fright. The prelude sounded, and Li Xia looked at Chen Fang leaning on the sofa with his legs raised, stroking his chest with one hand and knocking on his knees with the other hand, looking casual. Li Xia felt a little dissatisfied: The one who came from the Huaxia Conservatory of Music may not be better than our wild paths.
"I've asked endlessly
When will you go with me
But you always laugh at me
Nothing...
I want to give you my pursuit
And my freedom
But you always laugh at me
Nothing...
Oh...When will you go with me
Oh...When will you go with me
The ground is walking under your feet
The water around you is flowing
But you always laugh at me
Nothing
…”
"Nothing" is a representative work by Cui Jian, the godfather of Chinese rock. Cui Jian's voice is very unique, thick and a little hoarse, and the treble is very penetrating. However, Li Xia's voice is naturally hoarse, and the sound recognition is still good. However, she became a monk halfway through and should not have mastered the skills of vocalization, so her explosive power is slightly worse. If she has been professional training for a period of time, she should have a certain development in the musical path.
"Ba...b...b...b...b...a...a...a...aga, another one," just finished singing, and the accompaniment was not over yet, and several guests sitting in the booth were applauding there. For ordinary guests, this performance was already an unexpected gain.
"Boss Shen, how are we singing? Help me comment on it." Li Xia thanked the applauding guests, then raised an eyebrow to Chen Fang.
Seeing Li Xia's provocative actions, Chen smiled and said to Chen Hui: "Sister, just make trouble for me. But your bar sound and lighting effect should have cost a lot of money."
"The instrument didn't cost much, Li Xia brought the guitar himself. The audio set downstairs is a French brand, which cost more than 8 million yuan, and there are five private rooms upstairs, each costing more than 500,000 yuan. In terms of the sound effects, I dare say that few Houhai companies are better than ours." Chen Hui said.
"This sound effect is 'Excellent value!'" Chen Fang stood by the stage, looking at Li Xia's dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "Your voice is good, but your penetration is insufficient. Because your breathing has not been exercised, you mainly sing high notes, which makes you feel a little lacking in breath and a bit broken, especially in this sound effect." Then he pointed to the guitar in Li Xia's hand and said: "Can you let me see your guitar?"
Li Xia was stunned and handed the guitar to Chen Fang in a daze. Last time a professor who was said to be a music school said the same thing when he heard Li Xia sing live and gave her a business card for the training class. Li Xia thought he was a liar, so she threw it away. Unexpectedly, Chen Fang would give the same statement.
Chen Fang looked at the guitar in his hand carefully. It was a "Taylor" electric box guitar, spruce veneer and rosewood side back plate, which was thicker than the tone of the mahogany core veneer. He plucked the strings with his hand a few times, listened carefully and said to Li Xia: "Your guitar has a good tone, the domestic price should be almost 20,000 yuan, but your D string is a little loose, you are a little tighter." Then he said to the little fat man sitting behind the drum set with a ponytail, "Little fat man, what's your name?"
"Boss Shen, my name is Gou Wei, just call me Big Dog."
"Gou Wei, you just made two sounds wrong, 'When will you follow me', it should be 'Cha...bang...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha...cha. In addition, the center of your kick drum and drumstick hit is slightly off."
Gou Wei looked down and stepped on it. The drumstick of the kick was less than two centimeters away.
Several people from the Attic Band looked like a ghost. The D string of the electric box guitar was a little looser, the bass was not as thick as before, and it was not necessarily obvious that it was plugged in and amplified, let alone the bottom drum was one or two centimeters off.
Chen Hui looked at the stunned people and knew that Chen Fang had suppressed them. She smiled and said, "Don't compare with him. He has been a pervert since he was a child. He has been agile since he was a child. He shocked Professor Jin Hailin from the Conservatory of Music when he was ten years old. He booked him as his apprentice at that time." Jin Hailin and Chen Fang's grandfather Jin Sehun are friends of the same clan and director of the National Music Association.
Chen Hui said to Chen Fang: "Do you want to show off your skills? Sister, I haven't heard you sing for many years. Can you still sing in your voice?"
Chen Fang smiled bitterly and said, "Just make trouble." Then he watched Chen Hui motivate the two little girls: "Uncle, sing, uncle, sing."
Chen Fang went to the stage and smiled embarrassedly at Li Xia: "Don't mind if you lend it to your stage."
Before Li Xia recovered from the shock just now, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I don't mind, don't mind, come..." Then she ran off the stage with her three accomplices, sat on the sofa next to her, waiting for the singing of the sun.
Chen Fang connected the guitar pickup to the power supply, fiddled it twice, and adjusted the D string. Under the amplification of the pickup, Chen Fang sighed in his heart. The tone of this "Taylor" is really good.
