from the star

It was a surprise attack.Shao Weiwei didn't even use Hongxin Records' own recording studio and rehearsal hall to select candidates, but borrowed the facilities of Yaju, not only for the sake of confidentiality, but also for the effect closest to the stage.

Among them, the three young people from Hongxin Records were also screened by Shao Weiwei.They have either been piano players and lead singers, or keyboard players in other underground bands. They are currently signed to Hongxin, but they haven't found a good way out yet.

As for the four pianists in Yaju, Cheng Hebai is actually Shao Weiwei's favorite, but since her uncle said to match well, for the sake of the so-called "chemical reaction", she doesn't mind comparing them all.

Ling Qingyuan looked at his hands, and suddenly felt amused that this road was getting more and more off topic.When he was a child, he learned music. Of course, he was inspired by his mother to learn piano. As for the ten years of learning, it was also to accompany his mother during dance practice.He was naturally good at music, but he didn't make a living out of it.Interest, pure interest.

Ling Qingyuan has never touched electronic music and bands, but he also knows that the keyboard player in the band is mainly responsible for harmony, not even the main theme, at most adding a little solo occasionally.For keyboard players, improvisation and rock are the focus, not classical.

Several other people are obviously eager to try, and no one wants to miss this great opportunity to soar into the sky.

Hongxin Records' own artists came on stage first.The first one is a young boy with a pot head, Wenqing style, and denim overalls.As soon as he came on stage, Ling Qingyuan had a feeling that his painting style didn't match, like a little white rabbit fell into the jungle and surrounded by wild animals.

Although AQUA was tamed by Hongxin Records, it was quite wild.Ling Qingyuan listened to Lubai play their music during the process, with vitality and a clear sense of rhythm.In particular, the vocal range of the lead singer is very wide, and there is some mellowness in the roughness, especially after the long note, the tail trembles slightly. It is the sexy of the glimpse, which is enough to make many girls want to stop.

Little White Rabbit and AQUA composed two impromptu songs, but were stopped by three judges.Shao Lirong said "poor fire" is the most euphemistic, Shao Weiwei said directly, "Compared with them, you are like mourning", Shao Weiming said with disdain, I didn't listen just now.

The next one to play was a keyboard player who had experience playing in underground bands. He was tall and burly with a ponytail, standing with his legs apart in front of the electronic keyboard, looking like he was about to go to the battlefield.

The lead singer hummed the tune for a few bars, and the other two in the same team realized tacitly that he had chosen a single.The drummer quickly gave the beat of the prelude, and the bass also gushed out, filling the main theme.The man with the ponytail responded for a verse, and he knew the song when he heard it, so he put his hands together and followed the main theme without hesitation.

For the next two songs, the lead singer started casually, hummed the melody casually, and watched the cooperation of the other three instruments.The man with the ponytail is always a little impatient, either beating the beat of the drums or stealing the melody of the bass.In the end, they tried a piece of music with harmony. Not only did the instruments have to be in harmony, but the three accompaniments also had to match the lead singer's first part, humming softly as the second part.

After the ponytail man left the field, Shao Lirong did not express his opinion immediately, Shao Weiwei said in a low-pitched manner, and her brother shook his head, still not paying attention.

After that, a post-modern young man came on stage, the kind who played and sang by himself.When the music starts, it feels like the scene of Zheng and Xiao fighting each other in martial arts novels is being staged on the stage. The three members of AQUA are self-contained, while the keyboard player is high on one side, the melodies on both sides are obviously out of line, and mutual interference occurs from time to time.

The lead singer Allen sang and then fell silent, and the bass and drummer stopped with him.And the sound of the electronic organ is still climaxing.Shao Weiwei covered her eyes and shooed him away.

"Do you want to continue?" Allen asked Shao Weiwei without any ups and downs.In front of fans, he is outgoing like a treasure, but the contrast behind him is much greater.

Shao Weiwei was not discouraged.She asked the resident pianists to go up one by one to cooperate.The first one is not very familiar with the electronic piano, especially not suitable for the cooperation of the electronic band, and is afraid of making mistakes that will disturb the progress of the whole piece, so he simply uses the keyboard to beat the time.The performance of the second one is very good, not only using chords and broken chords to match the melody of the lead singer, but also using one or two technical notes to set off the bass when the song transitions.In the stage of improvisation, he can roughly guess the direction of each phrase and give a proper response.

After listening to this temporary keyboard player, the three of AQUA are in a much better state, at least not as unhappy as lost souls.He didn't continue to hang the disdain on his face.

When it was Ling Qingyuan's turn to play, he was not sure how to behave.He believed that if he relied on his real talent, he might be better than the keyboard player just now.However, even if he became a member of the popular Tiantuan, what would it mean to him now.

He is not a young man in his twenties who started his career with a short shelf life and needs to become popular quickly.If he really signs a record contract with Hongxin now, he can only be an accompanist in this quartet in a short time.Even if the brokerage company exploited them, what fell into their hands was enough for the Cheng family to live well, earn both fame and fortune.

But he is 36 years old, and he has lived his whole life to know what he likes and what the reasonable career path is.Being chained to a commercial band is too unfree for him—he is not creating art, but being consumed by the crowd.

Returning to the entertainment industry may not be a bad thing, it is easier to inquire about news, and there is a way to regain your ideals.But don't be too impatient at the moment, it's easy to go too far if you are impatient.After making up his mind, Ling Qingyuan decided to agree "almost".Shao Weiwei knew that his level was slightly behind the player just now, but he couldn't be too far away.

The lead singer chose a melodious song, the drummer basically gave a note every few beats, and the bassist also plucked the strings lightly.Ling Qingyuan chose the major chord of the main theme with his left hand, and gave it with Boeing.He secretly complained about the feel of the plastic keys, which were light and floating on the water.

Allen seemed to feel that the cooperation just now was good. He chose harmony again. His magnetic voice sang the first part. Tune.Ling Qingyuan hesitated again, he could use the electronic organ to give polyphonic accompaniment, and his voice would sing the third part.It is also safe to choose an accompaniment only for the second voice, with occasional embellishments for the main melody.

Ling Qingyuan decided to only serve as the accompaniment, without vocals.

The third song is rock and roll.Ling Qingyuan was unfamiliar with this field, as if he couldn't grasp it with his hands, he just beat the beat and couldn't make the melody.The fourth song is Viade Verita, the Yulan Award-winning song, which is the song that Shao Weiwei once passed Ling Qingyuan.

Ling Qingyuan, who was standing in front of the electronic piano in the back row on the stage, could feel the woman staring at him with her insightful eyes through the bass player in front of him.Shrewd and sharp.

Anyway, he is not in charge of the main theme, so he gave the background sound without stealing the spotlight.

After Ling Qingyuan's performance, there was one last luthier.After all seven of them passed the matching test, they were allowed to leave.Three artists under Hongxin's banner were taken away by their managers, and the other four went to work and separated.The current time is still early at [-]:[-] pm, Ling Qingyuan didn't know where to go, so he just wandered around Yaju.

The three of AQUA stayed, and the three uncles and nephews of the Shao family.

Shao Weiwei asked the three of them how they felt, and the lead singer Allen said that they were not ideal.Shao Weiwei directly said that he had too high requirements for his ideals, and that the temporary Lalang team could be [-]% perfect if there was no running-in and training.Having said that, Allen gave her two or three passable candidates.

"Uncle, brother, what do you think?" Shao Weiwei asked her relatives for advice.This time, she was rather disappointed with Cheng Hebai's performance. Maybe she had too high expectations after listening to his performance. She hoped that he was the one who matched—because according to his previous performance, his quality and level Being an accompanist in a band is not a problem at all.

Shao Weiming bit the knuckle of his index finger.His eyebrows lined into the temples and the tails of his eyes were raised. When he was silent, he always seemed to be smiling, but when he spoke, he showed a slight irony.His younger sister has a masculine straightforwardness in her femininity, while his elder brother is much more feminine.

"Uncle, what do you think?" Shao Weiming threw the question to Shao Lirong.The latter looked at his nephew helplessly and replied: "Every time you hand over your words to others, you always have a draft in your mind. You just wait for others to have the same opinion as you, and you will have backs regardless of whether it is wrong or right."

Shao Lirong turned around on the swivel chair, and continued easily: "Anyway, good or bad has nothing to do with me directly, I just say what I say. That Sun Chuyang, you can try to dig it from your uncle, and Chengying, although always It’s better to grab the shot, but it’s better than stealing the main theme.”

Shao Weiming nodded: "I also think that the pianist named Sun Chuyang is very cooperative, but Chengying has more stage experience."

The two people they said were also candidates that Allen approved of.Shao Weiwei naturally felt that their recommendation was correct, but she always felt that something was missing, and complained: "That Cheng Hebai, I thought he would perform well. I have heard his performance a few times before, and it would be vulgar to say that it is wonderful. It’s amazing. From song selection, expression technique to emotional integration, I thought it was perfect before. Even Tan Yue wanted to listen to it after listening to it. But today’s performance is really disappointing..."

Shao Lirong leaned back on the chair, looked at the large revolving chandelier on the ceiling, he didn't know if he was joking or said with some deep meaning: "That only shows that he is a good actor." uncle.

"A good actor? What's so good about being a band on stage." Shao Weiwei glared at the two of them, objecting to their mystification.Shao Lirong pointed to Allen and others, motioning for them to talk.

"... the sixth one came up, and the four songs came down without mistakes. We usually arrange the songs by ourselves in Band, and there will always be big and small mistakes if we are not proficient, let alone a keyboard player who is new and has no time to get familiar with it. The first The combination of six is ​​the same as elementary school students answering the paper exam. It's like... having the level of doing additional questions, but afraid that there will be a cross on the paper."

"It's too stable, purely for harmony." Bassist Quin said: "In contrast, I prefer passionate keyboard players. Skills can always be practiced. If you can't make the stage crazy, there is no point in existence at all."

After the people in the circle expressed their opinions, Shao Weiming said slowly: "I don't understand music as well as you, Weiwei. If you want me to say who plays well, I can't tell. But I can tell who is playing. Who is playing. The Cheng Hebai you mentioned, in my opinion, is to give a few notes at the right time as feedback. I don’t know if a person will be in this state when he is really playing music. "

The three of AQUA shook their heads together.Even the third self-proclaimed man who played the most out of shape, he devoted himself to "playing", although out of shape.

Shao Weiwei thought of the "Boat Song" expressed by Cheng Hebai, filled with almost overflowing emotions, each note is not isolated, but round and full like a pearl.Before that, when he played the Via de Verita solo, he played with a lot of color and joy, which far surpassed today's mechanical coordination.

"Okay, I got it." Shao Weiwei said dryly: "Since he is hiding and doesn't want to join the band, let him do it. Allen, turn around and ask Sun Chuyang and Chengying to pair up with you again, to be taller."

"Wait a minute, Weiwei, I didn't say 'Let it be him'." Shao Weiming stopped his sister's words, with a calculating smile on his unmasculine face: "I said, you don't have to waste so much, since he If he can perform, if he can’t form a band, let him perform.”

"It would be a pity to be only a luthier for someone who can make Yandi look good."

Shao Lirong stroked the mustache on his chin repeatedly, pulled out one and blew it aside before he said: "Now we have a play in hand and we beg him to act in it. What kind of actor, he is really his ancestor. He can torment our Hongxin like this." Not many people."
