There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 8 The Band
There is a wooden corner staircase on the west side of the bar, through a [-]-degree right angle, you can go up to the second floor from behind the bar area.The second floor belongs to the box and office area.

Without asking the waiter to help, Shen Fang and Shen Hui came to a sofa booth area near the stage with lemonade and milk tea. It is so soft that it can trap people when sitting on it. The two little girls took off their shoes, and each of them occupied a seat on the sofa, jumping around there.

Shen Hui put the milk tea from the two girls on the tea table, took the water cup in Shen Fang's hand and said, "This is a music bar. It opens at two o'clock in the afternoon and lasts until two o'clock in the morning. There are performances at seven o'clock every night. Two regular bands, sometimes a few professional singers who come out to perform."

Shen Fang looked at the four people on the stage who were adjusting their instruments, three men and one woman, all of them were not very old, and they should all be around 20 years old.They all follow the hip-hop route. The three boys are all wearing ponytails, and the girl carrying an acoustic guitar should be the lead singer. She wears heavy makeup, dark green eyeshadow, and a few dreadlocks on her head. A red headband is tied behind the ears, a red large T-shirt is worn on the upper body, and a pair of straight ripped jeans is worn on the lower body.

"Mr. Shen, hello!" The girl should have recognized Shen Hui, then turned around to greet several other people, and came to the bottom of the stage together to greet Shen Hui.

"You're welcome, you go ahead, I'm just bringing my brother over to have fun." Shen Hui signaled them to be casual, not polite.

"You haven't given up your major in recent years, why don't you guide them?" Shen Hui pointed to a few people on the stage and said, "They call themselves the Loft Band, and the lead singer's name is Li Xia. Xia Xia, this year I am only 20 years old. I have been singing here for more than half a year, and I sing about ten songs a day, and the price is 3000 yuan a day. Sometimes customers can also get half of the commission for rewarding flower baskets."

"Li Xia, sing a song that you are good at, and let my brother listen to it. He is a talented student who graduated from the Huaxia Conservatory of Music." Shen Hui said to Li Xia on the stage.

"Okay, let's play Teacher Cui's 'Nothing' for Boss Shen." Long-term stage experience made Li Xia not have the slightest stage fright.When the prelude sounded, Li Xia watched Shen Fang leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed, one hand touching his chest, and the other hand beating on his knees following the rhythm, looking very casual.Li Xia was a little bit unconvinced in his heart: Those who come out of Huaxia Conservatory of Music may not necessarily be better than our Yeluzi.

"I used to ask
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 come with me

oh when will you come with me

the ground is walking
the water around me is flowing
But you always laugh at me
Nothing

......"

"Nothing" is a masterpiece of Cui Jian, the godfather of Chinese rock and roll. Cui Jian's voice is very unique, thick and hoarse, and the treble is very penetrating.But Li Xia's voice is naturally hoarse, and the voice recognition is still good.But he is a half-way monk, and he probably hasn't mastered the skills of vocalization, so his explosive power is a little bit weaker. After a period of professional training, he should have a certain development in the music road.

"Pa...pa...pa...one more," just after singing, before the accompaniment ended, several guests sitting in the booth applauded and applauded. For ordinary guests, this kind of performance is already considered It was a windfall.

"Boss Shen, how is our singing? Please comment on it." Li Xia thanked the applauding guests, then raised an eyebrow at Shen Fang.

Seeing Li Xia's provocative actions, Shen Fang smiled, and said to Shen Hui: "Sister, you can find trouble for me. But the sound and lighting effects of your bar should have cost a lot of money."

"The musical instrument didn't cost much, and the guitar was brought by Li Xia himself. The sound system downstairs is a French brand, costing more than 800 million, and there are five boxes upstairs, each costing more than 50. In terms of sound effects, I I dare say that there are not many companies in Houhai that are better than ours." Shen Hui said.

"This sound effect, one word'super value!'" Shen Fang stood by the stage, looked at Li Xia's unconvinced expression, and said with a smile: "Your voice is good, but the penetration is not enough. Because your I haven't exercised my breathing, and I mainly rely on shouting when I sing high notes, which makes you feel a little out of breath and a bit broken, especially under this set of sound effects." Then he pointed to the guitar in Li Xia's hand and said: " Can I see your guitar?"

Li Xia was stunned, and handed the guitar to Shen Fang in a daze.The last time a professor who was said to be from the Conservatory of Music heard Li Xia singing live, he said the same thing, and gave her a business card for the training class. Li Xia thought it was a liar, so he threw it away. make the same statement.

Shen Fang took a closer look at the guitar in his hand. It was a "Taylor" electric box guitar with a spruce veneer and a rosewood side and back. The tone of the mahogany veneer was a bit thicker.He plucked the strings with his hands a few times, and after listening carefully, he said to Li Xia: "Your guitar sounds good, and the domestic price should be almost [-] yuan, but your D string is a little loose, and you are a little tight." Half a degree." Then he said to the little fat man with a ponytail sitting behind the drum kit: "Little fat man, what's your name."

"Boss Shen, my name is Gou Wei, you can call me Big Dog."

"Gou Wei, you just mistyped two sounds, 'When will you come with me', it should be 'cha...boom...cha...', you typed it as 'cha...cha...boom...cha...', in addition Your kick drum, the sticks hit slightly off center."

Gou Wei looked down, stepped on it, and the drum stick of the kick drum was deflected by less than two centimeters.

A few people in the attic band looked at Shen Fang like hell. The D string of the electric box guitar is a little loose, and the bass will not be as thick as before. It may not be heard when plugged in and amplified, let alone the kick drum. There's an error of one or two centimeters.

Shen Hui looked at the stunned people, and knew that Shen Fang had stunned them, and said with a smile: "Don't compare with him, he has been a pervert since he was a child, and his hearing has been sensitive since he was a child. Professor Jin Hailin was shocked and booked him as an apprentice at that time." Jin Hailin and Shen Fang's grandfather Jin Shixun are friends of the same clan and directors of the National Music Association.

Shen Hui said to Shen Fang: "Would you like to go up and show your hand, sister, I haven't heard you sing for many years, can you still sing with your voice?"

Shen Fang smiled wryly and said, "Just pick things up." Then he watched Shen Hui agitating the two little girls: "Uncle, listen to singing, Uncle, listen to singing."

Shen Fang went up to the stage, and smiled embarrassedly at Li Xia: "I will borrow your stage for a while, don't mind."

Li Xia has not recovered from the shock just now, and hastily waved his hands: "I don't mind, I don't mind, you come..." Then he ran off the stage with his three accomplices, sat on the sofa next to him, and waited for Shen Fang to sing .

Shen Fang connected the pickup of the guitar to the power supply, fiddled with it twice, and tuned the D string.Under the amplification of the pickup, Shen Xin sighed inwardly, the tone of this "Taylor" is really good.

"I thought I was over you
I'd put out the flame
Said tonight will be different
I wouldn't need to play your games
......"
