"You ~" David Green looked at John Lee and btbs.
"We have accompaniment music, we don''t need a live band." John Lee said, "we''ll find a place in this hotel to practice and prepare ourselves. Don''t bother you. Just let us know when the rehearsal is over! "
Although John Lee was annoyed that what he thought was easy to catch had suddenly become a competition with Xiao Yao, David Green had already expressed his attitude and Xiao Yao agreed to compete with stage performance. At this time, he had no other way but to let seven btbs people prepare to compete with Xiao Yao.
However, btbs had prepared for the stage performance and rehearsed in advance, and he didn''t believe that Xiao Yao could expect such a thing to happen, so he should have been unprepared. In less than two hours, he didn''t believe that Xiao Yao''s stage performance in such a short time would be more wonderful than btbs, but he was not afraid to let btbs compare with Xiao Yao.
"Well," said David Green, nodding and waving to a young man, "Vincent, help Yang find a place to rehearse!"
"Cody..." David Green looks at Cody Scott again.
"OK, my man, I''ll say it!" Cordy Scott waved. He knew what David Green meant to tell his musicians.
"Yang, what instruments and musicians do you need?" Cordy Scott turned his head and asked Xiao Yao.
"I don''t know!" Xiao Yao said, "if you don''t want to let your people and musical instruments go, let''s discuss which musical instruments to use while practicing."
"Well," said Cordy Scott with a smile, "I''ll go too and see how you do it!"
"Please find a place with better sound insulation and larger space." Cordy Scott said to the young man David Green had called.
"OK, I''ll contact the hotel right now." Young man''s way.
"You''ll have to wait a while before you start?" Tim haggis suddenly got up, took Xiao Yao by the arm and said, "Yang, can I talk to you alone?"
"Good!" Xiao Yao nodded to Cordy Scott and followed Tim haggis to a corner far away from the crowd.
"What''s the matter?" Xiao Yao asked.
"You rehearse. I can''t help you." Tim haggis said, "although you said I was invited to Lv to be your bodyguard, in fact, you are not in danger. At least you won''t be in danger here tonight, will you?"
"Yes Xiao Yao nodded.
"So now I want to leave and do something." Tim haggis road.
"What do you want to do?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.
"Don''t you think the Korean people are acting strangely?" Tim haggis asked, "I feel as if they knew something was going to happen to Hopson."
"You want to investigate Hopson''s food poisoning?" Xiao Yao said, "do you suspect that they or they instigated people to do it?"
"Isn''t it doubtful?" Tim haggis road.
"You don''t want to help me in this way, do you?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "this kind of thing is very bad. If it is spread, the consequences will be very serious. If they did, there should be no obvious clues or evidence. I''m not saying you can''t find out, but I don''t think you can find out in two days. Two days later, the awards ceremony is over. "
"Help you? No, no, no, "said Tim haggis, shaking his head." I''m not worried that you''re going to beat the Koreans. I''m just curious and suspicious. You know, I''m an FBI agent, and curiosity about cases is my professional attribute. "
"Well, you can check it," Xiao Yao said with a smile. "I won''t delay you to develop your detective enthusiasm."
Tim haggis left and Xiao Yao returned to Cordy Scott.
"Tim left in advance." Xiao Yao simply explained.
"Oh," Cordy Scott nodded noncommittally and said to Xiao Yao, "come with me. Let''s meet my musicians first."
The band''s musicians have a special lounge. After the rehearsal, Cordy Scott jumped off the stage and went to the audience to chat with Xiao Yao. The musicians packed their instruments and went back to the lounge.
"Thank you very much!" Xiao Yao told Cordy Scott.
Cordy Scott took Xiao Yao to the musicians'' lounge, introduced Xiao Yao and the musicians to each other, and explained that he would ask them to accompany Xiao Yao and prepare for a performance. These musicians have more or less heard Yang Xiao''s name and his songs, and they don''t exclude the cooperation with Xiao Yao. Naturally, they don''t have any opinions about the decision made by Cody Scott for them.
Xiao Yao expressed his thanks to the musicians and exchanged greetings with them one by one. The young man named Vincent took some staff members to the musicians'' lounge.
Vince has contacted the rehearsal place for them. The rehearsal room he was looking for was a VIP lounge with good sound insulation effect in the hotel. The space was large enough to accommodate the whole band.
Xiao Yao is a candidate for a substitute performance. Rehearsal is actually the business of the organizer, so it''s also the business of the organizer to carry musical instruments and set up the rehearsal room. It''s not just for the musicians of Cody Scott to do it by themselves. The people he brought were to help the musicians carry the musical instruments. As for some necessary speakers and other equipment, another person was arranged to move there.Although Xiao Yao is a candidate guest, he doesn''t have the airs of a big star. When he helps with musical instruments, Xiao Yao also goes up to help.
There are many people and great strength. We all moved all the musical instruments to the rest room as the rehearsal room in one trip. Then the arrangement of musical instruments and equipment, the connection and debugging of equipment, the tuning of musical instruments and other preparations were soon completed.
"Yang, what kind of new song are you going to sing?" When the preparations were ready, Cordy Scott picked up a wooden guitar and handed it to Xiao Yao. He said, "play and sing by yourself. Let''s listen to the basic melody and lyrics first."
"This ~" Xiao Yao took the wooden guitar, but did not play it. He said with a bitter smile, "in fact, I haven''t thought about it yet!"
"What?" Cordy Scott was surprised. "Didn''t you say you were going to sing a new song that hasn''t been released yet? Don''t tell me you''re going to write now! "
"Of course not!" Xiao Yao found a chair and sat down. He held the guitar in his arms, put his elbows on the guitar, and pressed his two fingers on the temples on both sides. "I have several choices, but I haven''t decided which one to perform yet!" he said
"How many choices?" Cordy Scott was a little relieved, then reminded, "young, we only have two hours! Why don''t you sing us a few alternative songs, and we''ll see if we can give you some suggestions and help you choose one. "
"Well ~" Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, looked up and saw a group of hand drums placed in front of a musician. A song flashed through his mind, and he patted the body of the guitar and said, "I''ve made a decision!"
"Oh?" Cordy Scott said, "what song?"
"It''s called the remedy, a pop song." Xiao Yao moved his hands to the guitar neck and the string above the sound hole and said, "I''ll sing for you first?"
“TheRemedy？” Cordy Scott said with a smile, "Hopson is out of condition and can''t attend the award ceremony and performance. David is in trouble. You''re on the bench. Are you talking about yourself?"
Remedy has a way to deal with it. The title of the song is just in line with the current situation.
"Not really!" Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, pointed to the group of tambourine and said, "I just saw the tambourine and just remembered this song. This song is about other people''s stories. It has nothing to do with me or the current situation. "
"Well, let''s hear what your song looks like first." Cody Scott found a chair and sat down.
The song Xiao Yao wants to sing is a song by Jason Mraz in his previous life. The real name of the song is actually "the remedy (Iwon''t worry)". However, Xiao Yao doesn''t like to add brackets all the time, so he just omits the following part.
Of course, the original version of this song is not only an acoustic guitar, but Xiao Yao just let you know the basic melody and lyrics of this song. It''s still possible to play and sing with only one acoustic guitar.
Xiao Yao cleared his throat, waved and played the prelude. Cordy Scott and the musicians heard the prelude and nodded gently. Just from the beginning of the prelude melody, they feel good.
When Xiao Yao began to sing, Cordy Scott and the musicians showed unexpected expressions.
As musicians who have cooperated with Cordy Scott for a long time, they are close to Cordy Scott in music taste and preference. It was only tonight that they met Xiao Yao for the first time. When it comes to the impression of Xiao Yao''s music style, in addition to knowing that Xiao Yao is a member of the immortals band and having heard some of his rock songs, they are most impressed by the folk songs "perfect" and "thinking out loud". The song Xiao Yao sings now is different from the two styles.
"How do you feel?" After singing the whole song, Xiao Yao asked Cordy Scott.
"It feels good." "It''s different from what I thought, but it''s very good," he said
"OK, that''s it!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"How to arrange music?" Cordy Scott asked, "do you want us to help you with it?"
"I have some ideas about music arrangement." Xiao Yao said, "why don''t I tell you what I think first and try to practice according to my arrangement plan. If you have better ideas, we can discuss the changes while practicing!"
"Good!" Cordy Scott road.
"I need two guitars, a wooden guitar, an electric guitar, a bass, a keyboard, a drum and a set of hand drums." Xiao Yao said, "I can play the wooden guitar myself!"
"Do you have music paper? I can write out the melody first, and then label it for you according to different instruments, so that you can watch the score playing, which will save time! " Xiao Yao continued.
"Yes!" Cody Scott waved to the assistant. During the rehearsal, Cordy Scott''s assistant didn''t follow him to the auditorium, but when he came to the rehearsal room, Cordy Scott''s assistant followed him.Cordy Scott''s assistant came over and gave Xiao Yao a pen and paper. Xiao Yao flipped the guitar in his hand, put the paper on the back of the guitar and wrote it.
"So detailed?" Cordy Scott stood by and watched Xiao Yao write the score. He said in surprise, "it seems that you have a mature and complete idea about the arrangement of this song! In that case, why didn''t you record and release this song? "
"Because I''m lazy." Xiao Yuan didn''t lift his head. He replied while writing.
"Er ~" Cordy Scott was speechless again.
"All right." Xiao Yao will write a few pieces of paper to a few musicians, said, "you need to look at first, familiar with, or directly start, you look at the play?"
"First, of course." Several musicians said with a smile.
Several musicians took Xiao Yao''s music score and read it. In the process of watching, some people can''t help trying to play such a short paragraph according to the music score.
"OK, OK!" A few minutes later, several musicians began to talk to Xiao Yao.
"Then come on!" Xiao Yao adjusted his sitting posture and picked up his guitar.
The drummer of the drum knocks the cymbal, the keyboard player and the electric guitarist move together, and then bass joins in. Ten seconds later, with an accent on the drum, Xiao Yao began to pluck the strings and joined the wooden guitar.
With the cooperation of a variety of musical instruments, this Prelude sounds several times more beautiful than the prelude of Xiao Yao''s single wooden guitar.
After the prelude, Xiao Yao entered the song accurately and began to sing.
Xiao Yao has sung this song once before, but the music accompaniment has changed, and the feeling of the whole song is quite different from that just now. The same feeling is that it is several times more beautiful than the single guitar accompaniment before.
"Great, great!" Although there are some mistakes and flaws in the first joint training, after the whole song was performed, watching Cordy Scott and other musicians still applauded and sincerely gave their praise.
"Thank you Xiao Yao bowed his head with a smile and said to several musicians who accompanied together, "you can perform like this in the first joint training. You are all professional musicians, and your performance is great! Thank you
Several musicians waved their hands with a smile.
"But, after all, this is the first time to cooperate, there are still some small problems." Xiao Yao looked at the guitarist with the electric guitar and said, "Robin, may I call you Robin? Just now, in the twelfth bar of the first paragraph, your second note was a little faster than half a beat... "
"Oh, this guy is so rude!" Cordy Scott said with a smile in his heart, "but his ears are really good, and he really has a high musical quality!"
These musicians are experienced professional musicians, and Xiao Yao has really got to the point, so Xiao Yao has a smooth communication with them. After a brief exchange with several musicians, Xiao Yao soon began to practice together for the second time.
There are still some unavoidable problems in the second training, but it has been greatly improved compared with the first training. Xiao Yao and the musicians discussed and exchanged again, and soon began the third time of joint training.
By the third time, there is basically no obvious problem.
"Yang, you are so good! I''ve only practiced it three times, and I feel almost done. " Cordy Scott said to Xiao Yao, "according to your efficiency, don''t say two hours, it may not take an hour, no, it may not even take half an hour, you can rehearse this song."
"No, no, it''s not that simple. It''s not the version I''m going to perform later." Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile.
"What? "No?" Cordy Scott said strangely, "what are you doing here?"
"What we''re practicing now, except for a little less harmony, is basically what I''ll look like when I 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''s a live performance, I want to play it properly and play something different. I don''t want to be the same as the studio version. This studio version is the foundation. Only by practicing this well, can I play tricks and let everyone make some changes on this basis. "
"You want to play tricks?" Cordy Scott said, "what do you want to do?"
