As soon as the three girls left, the band members surrounded Xiao Yao.
"Where''s the score? Take it out first. " Dean''s most urgent way.
"Here you are. Take your time." Xiao Yao takes out several pieces of paper from his schoolbag.
"Why is it different? How many songs have you written? " Dean glanced at the pieces of paper he had taken from Xiao Yao.
"The same, see clearly. That''s piano score, drum score and bass score Xiao Yao rolled his eyes.
"Oh, that''s true." Dean looked carefully, and found that the four line is bass score, the five line has two pieces, the top and bottom two rows of a group is piano score, and the single five line is shelf drum. There is also a staff, which is the sound score of music and lyrics together.
"Where did you get the paper for musical instruments?" This time it''s Samin.
"Ballpoint pen and ruler, drawn on white paper." Xiao Yao shrugged. "It''s just a few parallel lines. It''s not difficult."
"It''s not hard to draw lines, but how can you understand these individual musical instruments? Do you know Piano, drum and bass? " Mike has a rare bass spectrum.
"Yes, I didn''t say I could only play guitar." Xiao Yao took it for granted.
"What else can you do?" Dean looks at Xiao Yaodao. After more than two months together, he thought he knew Xiao Yao very well. Now it seems that there are too many secrets about this guy that he doesn''t know.
"Musical instruments?" He began to pull his fingers and began to count: "in addition to piano, guitar, bass and drum, there are also ceramic flute, harmonica, saxophone and erhu... By the way, erhu is a traditional stringed instrument in China, with only two strings..."
"enough, you can start a band by yourself." George couldn''t help interrupting.
"That sounds like a good idea." Xiao Yao felt his chin. At the moment, Xiao Yao thinks of Owlcity in his previous life. It seems that he can play like this after returning home.
"Hey, are you looking at me or the score?" Xiao Yao raised his head, but saw a few people looking at himself as if they were looking at aliens, and gave a voice to remind him.
After Xiao Yao''s reminder, several people picked up the music score in their hands and read it.
Sammien looked at Xiao Yao with empty hands and asked, "everyone has music score. What about your guitar score?"
"Here it is." Xiao Yao pointed to his head with a smile and then closed his eyes.
Although we don''t have much creative talent, we are band players after all. We still have no knowledge of music theory and musical instruments. So in a few seconds, everyone hummed in a low voice according to the music score.
After about two or three minutes, we went over Xiao Yao''s song. And the first feeling of everyone after hum is: this song is really wonderful! Not lost to the current billboard list of popular songs.
"I have an idea." After humming the score, Dean first said, "doesn''t our band have a name yet? The temporary name of Xiqiao middle school band is meaningless and too impersonal. How about immortals? This song is our band''s first song, so the name of this song is our band''s name. "
"This song is young." Sammy frowned and reminded Dean.
"But young is now part of our band. His song, that is, the song of our band... "Dean looked at Samin, suddenly understood what Samin meant, and quickly explained," of course, if this song can be released in the future, the songwriter''s signature must be Yang only, and the ownership of this song is Yang only, not the whole band. "
On one side, George and Mike nodded their support when they heard Dean''s words.
"I don''t mind." Xiao Yao nodded and agreed.
"Well, in this case, let''s hurry to get familiar with the music. When Jenna and they get dinner back, everyone starts rehearsing. The first song of the same name in our band, we must not fail. "
Because there are five people in the band and they are going to perform live, Xiao Yao removed the electric sound of the prelude in the soundtrack of the original "immortals" song from his previous life and replaced it with the keyboard sound, which feels like both flute and whistle. At the same time, for the sake of live effect, a section of guitar and bass solo are added in the middle of the song, which makes the whole scene of the song more appealing, less electric sound, but more like a traditional pop rock song. From the effect of rehearsal, it seems not bad.
This song is written by Xiao Yao, who is most familiar with it. So in the rehearsal, Xiao Yao unconsciously played the role of guidance.
"Stop, George, you''re slow."
"Mike, you don''t have the right rhythm. You''ve got a snap. Come again. "
"Sammien, you missed that shot just now. You missed the beat. Pay attention next time. "
"Dean, it''s out of tune just now. Singing rock and roll is not only about shouting, but also about intonation.""Stop. I''m sorry. I just missed one. Let''s do it again."
From time to time, Xiao Yao pointed out everyone''s mistakes and omissions, including his own. Sometimes he interrupted the rehearsal and stopped to talk about them. Sometimes he put them forward after a performance was finished.
"Yang, who are you?" During the break in rehearsal, Dean couldn''t help asking Xiao Yao.
Dean doesn''t question Xiao Yao''s guidance. All the mistakes Xiao Yao pointed out are true. He just doesn''t understand why Xiao Yao''s ears are so bad. No matter who the mistakes are, he can point them out, and he is also playing. "I suspect that you are not Xiao Yao, the math genius of Yanjing No.2 Middle School, but some music genius who is an impostor."
"Ha ha," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "in fact, Xiao Yao, who is a good math student in Yanjing No.2 Middle School, has a father who is an original singer and producer. He has studied music with his father since childhood, and his ears have been trained by his father for more than ten years in music."
"You mean, your father is a singer and producer who plays music. You learned music from your father when you were young. That''s why you write songs. You know so many musical instruments, and your ears are so strong?" Dean looks at Xiao Yaodao.
"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "that''s what I mean."
"What about your grades?" Dean continued.
"It''s true, of course." Xiao Yao said, "one is school education, the other is family education. Because my literary and artistic expertise has little to do with school education, the information given by the school has not been mentioned. "
"But that''s incredible. You''re a genius, double. What''s your IQ? " Mike came to me.
"No, I don''t know." Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile.
After the first day of rehearsal, although the effect of the joint rehearsal is not ideal, and the time is still very urgent, both Xiao Yao''s songs and Xiao Yao''s performance on the first day of rehearsal give us great confidence. I believe that as long as we can practice well this week, the band will be able to make a big hit in the performance of the school day.
Jenna, who was originally purely to support her best friend Samin, became the top three fans of the band after watching the rehearsal. During the rehearsal in the next few days, all three of them attended all the time. While they were the audience, they also volunteered to buy food and water for the band members.
Three days ago, Jenna was the only faithful audience in the band rehearsal. On the fourth day, the fourth audience appeared.
"What the hell is this...
in the middle of the fourth day''s rehearsal, the door from the warehouse to the supermarket was opened for the first time. A girl wearing a supermarket logo apron and baseball cap pushed the door into the warehouse. As soon as she entered the warehouse, she was startled by the deafening music inside.
Because the sound insulation effect of the heavy iron door is very good, and the warehouse is separated from the sales area in front of the office and a channel, so I can''t hear the sound of the band rehearsal in the supermarket sales area. In addition, music is playing in the supermarket loudspeaker, so the rehearsal of the band will not affect the business of the supermarket in front. That''s one of the reasons why Robert Johnson agreed to rent a warehouse for the band to rehearse.
But only owner Robert Johnson and a few employees know about renting the warehouse to rehearse for the band. Not everyone who works here knows about it. Obviously, the girl who just walked into the warehouse is one of the unknown employees.
"Jin," Xiao Yao, who is facing the door of the warehouse and supermarket, saw that the girl who came in was frightened and screamed. He also showed a puzzled expression. He quickly stopped, put down his instrument, went to say hello and explained, "our band rented here for rehearsal, which was agreed by Mr. Johnson."
In front of this girl and Xiao Yao are here part-time tallyman, a few days ago should not be her work day, so I don''t know.
"Well," the girl named Jin also knew Xiao Yao, who also worked part-time here. She nodded and said, "since the boss has agreed, naturally there is no problem. I came in to get the beer. It''s almost sold out on the shelf outside. "
"We have moved the goods here, so some things are not in the original place." Xiao Yao said, "where is your beer? It''s on the third shelf. Let me help you move it. How much do you want?"
"OK, thank you. I''ll take a box." Kim looked at the three-tier aisle that needed a ladder to reach.
"OK, just a moment." With that, Xiao Yao quickly moved a ladder to the side of the beer shelf and climbed up to move a box of beer out. Instead of waiting, Jin stood by the ladder and took the beer from Xiao Yao, who was still on the ladder.
"Are you all right with yourself? I have to go on rehearsing. " Xiao Yao jumped down the ladder and said hello to Jin. Without waiting for her answer, he ran back to the band.
"Yang, don''t pick up girls in rehearsal, OK?" Dean looked at Xiao Yao running back and joked.
"I was helping my colleagues. It was not easy for a girl to climb the ladder. Besides, the beer was originally on the first floor and we moved it to the third floor." Xiao Yao replied."Do you know that girl well? Where does she come from? What are you doing? " This time it''s SAMINE.
"I''m not very familiar with her. I only know her name is Jin. She''s a Chinese and a part-time tallyman. She seems to be a student of some dance academy." Xiao Yao scratched his head.
"People learn to dance. They are very flexible. How difficult is it to get on a ladder?" Samin rolled his eyes.
"Hey, who said we should hurry up to rehearse, but we can''t practice any more? Where did you practice just now? Come on Xiao Yao can only exercise the power of his commander to force his way out of the topic.
The girl called Jin took the beer and went to the supermarket, but the speed was not fast. Xiao Yao and she have been working here for more than two months, and they have seen each other many times, but they are not very familiar with each other. They just meet to say hello. I didn''t expect that the boy, who usually looks good-looking and sunny, is a band player.
The dancers are not lack of interest in music, so Jin is a little curious about the songs rehearsed by the band and deliberately slows down.
"Because, we, could, be, imagine... Imagine, imagine... Imagine, imagine... Imagine, imagine... Imagine, imagine... Imagine, imagine... Imagine..."
a loud song came, and Jin looked back curiously, and saw Xiao Yao standing in a vertical microphone, playing his guitar and hissing.
Since the first day of rehearsal, Xiao Yao pointed out several intonation problems to Dean and demonstrated them, Dean suggested that the band should be changed from single lead singer to double lead singer, and he and Xiao Yao should sing one paragraph each.
Xiao Yao''s performance is in everyone''s eyes, so all the members of the band except Xiao Yao agreed for the first time. Only Xiao Yao asked Dean a question: "you can''t play an instrument, I play guitar when you sing, what do you do when I sing?"
"I''ll sing the first part, you sing the second part. When you sing, the song almost reaches the climax. I''ll take the microphone and jump around on the stage, waving to the audience and creating atmosphere. " Dean, of course.
This move seems very reasonable, Xiao Yao also accepted. So when Jin looked back, he just saw Xiao Yao singing.
"It''s a good song. It seems to be a good song." As she walked to the supermarket, Phnom Penh thought, "I''ll be off work soon. It seems that I can come to listen to the complete song after work."
As a result, immortals band had a fourth audience during rehearsal, but the fourth audience was basically hiding in the corner of the warehouse and listening secretly.
