From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 180 72-Hour Ultimate Creation
On the train, the 16-hour drive was boring in every way, half asleep and half awake, I went north, and some people went south, just like the life we ​​will experience in the future, whether it is south or north, we cannot escape.

On the way, I went to the smoking area from time to time to smoke a few cigarettes to relieve my boredom, and then I forgot the boredom on the way. I swear, I will never take a hard seat on a long-distance train next time.

It was already the next morning when I arrived at the BJ train station, and I walked to the exit square last time. The weather was very cold, and I saw people coming and going, and I didn't stay in the city. Now I want to go back to the dormitory and sleep well I didn't sleep well all night on the train.

After a wave of small traffic jams, I came to the film and television town smoothly. There was no one in the dormitory. These three guys should still be playing in BJ, and I didn’t bother to send a group message to the band to ask where they were. The most important thing right now It is to catch up on sleep.

When I woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. I saw that the whole town was in darkness, so I went to the cafeteria and ate a bowl of fried rice with eggs.

The cafeteria was extremely deserted. I didn't see many people along the way, and the other musicians didn't come out either. I remembered that when I came to the film and television town on the first day, there were so many people coming and going.

The rules of the program group are really cruel. The further you get to the back, the more people will watch and leave. Even myself, I don't know when I will be eliminated...

Everything is full of unknowns.

…………

Time passed by every minute and every second. These days, I basically spent every day writing songs and practicing guitar in the rehearsal room, and Shen Qier and the others also came back on the last day.

The rest of our contestants, according to the requirements of the program group, arrived on time to assemble. I found that Xia Qing and Han Yishen also arrived as scheduled. It must be that Xia Qing's father's operation was very successful. happy for her.

The only unhappy thing is that she is already someone else's woman.

"Very good, everyone is keeping their promises, and everyone is here. Next, I want to tell you a good news and a bad news!"

The director of the program group stood on the stage and said: "The good news is that the first episode of our band program will be broadcast on Fruit TV and Satellite TV tomorrow night, which means that everyone present will enter the field of vision of the national audience; the bad news is It's our next competition, you have to be prepared, the rules are as follows, please watch the big screen..."

We turned our eyes to the big screen, and saw the words on the screen:

"In the 72-hour original competition, 6 bands must create an original song within 72 hours, and it must conform to the band's style. 300 music fans, vote, the band with the lowest number of votes, all members will be eliminated, there is no chance of reorganization!"

"Wenzhi, let me tell you that the show crew will definitely come to be more exciting!"

"Come on everyone! Original songs, it's time to test your core creative and arrangement skills."

"One word, awesome! The program team is so good at playing!"

"…………"

The contestants at the scene had different opinions, and I slowly took a breath. Fortunately, I used to have the habit of writing songs, and now I can use it in such a short period of time. As long as I solve the problems of arrangement and live performance, it should not be a problem. question.

"The time will start counting from [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, cherish your last good sleep tonight!"

After the director finished speaking, we all exclaimed at the scene, chatting and leaving the scene.

I said to Shen Qier: "Go back and rest early, see you in the rehearsal room at seven o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Shen Qier made an "OK" gesture, and then Shen Yu and the four of us went back to the dormitory.

"Yun Qian, will it be too late to write a song in three days, including lyrics, arrangement, and composition?"

Kaizi was a little anxious, and asked: "By the way, do you have any stock over there? Let's re-arrange the song and start working directly!"

Shen Yu and Li saw that the two were also looking at me, and waited for an accurate answer from me. I smiled: "When we were stationed at the bar before, didn't we post an original song?"

"Yunqian, but after all, it has already been posted. If the show is broadcast and netizens find out, they will think that we are exhausted and unable to write songs! They will look down on our band!" Shen Yu said with some worry.

"Um, yes!"

I scratched my head: "Okay, hey, let's go to bed early! I still have other stocks, and I will go to the rehearsal room tomorrow to discuss the arrangement."

"Damn it! I was scared to death, it was a false alarm!"

Kaizi patted his chest, and the three of us laughed unanimously when we saw his behavior, he was too nervous.

Li Jian laughed and said: "Kaizi, why don't you scare you to death, we can change the drummer!"

"I'm going to fuck your uncle's son, I curse you to beat the drum stick and fly up and hit yourself on the head!"

Shen Yu and I looked at each other and smiled, then I handed each of them a cigarette, and we smoked in the corridor outside.

At six o'clock the next day, even if I don't think about it anymore, I have to get out of bed reluctantly.

"Wake up, are you still rehearsing or not!"

I yelled, especially Kaizi, who is really good at sleeping, but he said vaguely: "Let me sleep for a while... just one minute... so sleepy..."

"Kaizi, let's go first!"

Shen Yu said to Kaizi, and then said to me: "Call Shen Qi'er in the group, and the three of us will go to the cafeteria to have breakfast first."

"Well, then let this lazy pig sleep more."

I glanced at Kaizi who was lying on the bed, and then the three of us came to the cafeteria to meet Shen Qier and had breakfast.

"Everyone is here except Kaizi, don't wait for him, I'll show you the lyrics first!"

In the rehearsal room, we sat on the floor in a circle.I used a computer to display the lyrics:
"How long have you not experienced
cinema for two

How long have you not experienced

face to face for lunch
How long have you not experienced

umbrella for two
How long have you not experienced

hand in hand picture
Busy streets, lonely cafes, people coming and going
Cold coffee, I don't refill, watch from the other side
The lover not far away is smiling and caught off guard
Fleeing, pretending, I don't want to be sad"

………………

"The title of the song is "Loneliness is the Most Humble Poverty". I wrote it when I was bored! I'll sing it on the guitar for you..."

I took the guitar, plucked the strings, and sang slowly, but I didn't arrange the music well, and it was more lyrical to simply use regular guitar chords.

"Very good, what we have to do now is to make it more rock..." Shen Yu said after listening to it: "Yunqian, tell me the chord direction later, and I will match the keyboard chords."

"Well, actually I have arranged this song on my computer, but I edited it in a lyrical style. It doesn't sound like pop rock. Now that everyone is here today, let's remake it together and change the tune to Shen Qi. It's a suitable key, I'm rethinking an electric guitar solo for the interlude..."

"Yun Qian, do you want to strike and hook the string?" Shen Qier asked.

"This is your characteristic, let's not remove it, find a suitable place later, let's design a section, and this time we must make the guitar and bass interact well on the stage, not only the melody interaction, but also the musicians. Enjoy the stage!"

Li Jian joined in at this time: "That... Yunqian, when we chorused, I laid out the rhythm to make it look fuller, and the other sound effects were handed over to Shen Yu's keyboard, or we made a piece of laying music... ..."

"Just make it all out with instruments! Playing the track will make the jury feel that we don't feel like a band, huh... that's enough for the rest!"
