Chapter 57

Yang Jingxing originally wanted to decline, but Qi Qingnuo reminded: "Uncle Chen knows a lot of people, and many companies and singers ask him to order equipment."

Then Yang Jingxing flattered him a bit, so the three of them went to have dinner together.

Uncle Chen's original name is Chen Xiaoqiang. He is 45 years old this year. He also played in a band when he was young. The underground band was not as popular as Qi Qingnuo's father Qi Dawei's City God band.

Chen Xiaoqiang told Yang Jingxing that when he was young, he was so poor that he couldn't even afford a guitar. How could Yang Jingxing earn hundreds of thousands of dollars at once?In order to make a living, Chen Xiaoqiang later turned to work behind the scenes. Unfortunately, he gradually found that his pursuit of music could no longer keep up with the times. The various behind-the-scenes scenes made it difficult for him to accept. Slowly, he became a salesman of equipment.

The people Chen Xiaoqiang knew in his youth are now in all walks of life, but there are still many who are engaged in music work, who are their own bosses, producers, and singers.

Chen Xiaoqiang and Qi Dawei are good friends and have known each other for more than 20 years.Qi Dawei is now running a bar, which is a frequent gathering place for old friends. Chen Xiaoqiang even asked Yang Jingxing if he had been there.

All in all, Chen Xiaoqiang still has a deep rock and roll complex, and he even blames himself for not growing rock and roll in his generation, which is why today's musical instruments have fallen to this point.But he also said that they really tried very hard.

Chen Xiaoqiang didn't know whether to encourage Yang Jingxing or look down on him: "Your generation is both lucky and unlucky. Most of the students in the Conservatory of Music are from a good family like yours. Without rich life experience, it is difficult to make good achievements. music."

Chen Xiaoqiang also listed some outstanding figures of his time. Only a few of them were from majors, but they gradually got into trouble. At that time, everyone was poor.And those who are not from majors, although full of enthusiasm, are still limited by their creativity, basically they are short-lived, and there are basically no people who can make cultural achievements.

Chen Xiaoqiang is obviously educating the next generation, saying that to make music, one must be able to endure hardships, endure loneliness, never give up, and if money is like dung.Some people have written and sung one or two songs in their whole life, and in the next few decades, relying on this old book to jump up and down, walking around and showing their faces, how boring, can they be called musicians?

In this regard, the City God Band is obviously a positive role model. Although they were once so popular, they no longer have a market, or their music can no longer keep up with the needs of the times, but they did not bow down or compromise. They went to make a living by themselves, and Old friends can still get together from time to time and continue to make the music they want to make. Although there are not many listeners, their life is very dignified, and their music is also dignified!

Like an old angry youth, Chen Xiaoqiang said he would have another bottle after one barrel, and Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo listened.Later, Chen Xiaoqiang was a little embarrassed: "Don't think I talk too much, I just heard from Nuonuo that you are a person who concentrates on making music, so I will talk about my own experience, and hope that your generation will avoid detours and achieve more achievements."

Yang Jingxing thanked: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books."

Chen Xiaoqiang said: "Among the juniors, Nuonuo is amazing, and she has lived up to her father."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "You have said so much, and I have a deep understanding of this."

Qi Qingnuo was still eating, looking at Yang Jingxing: "Don't do this with me, I only eat vegetables."

Chen Xiaoqiang said again: "Don't talk about being handsome... Can a man rely on his face to make a living? It depends on his ability and talent, right?"

Yang Jingxing rejoiced: "Fortunately, I'm not very good-looking."

Chen Xiaoqiang disagreed again: "It's about the packaging. I've seen it a lot. Those little white faces are much worse than you."

After eating and leaving, Chen Xiaoqiang asked Yang Jingxing to go to Qi Dawei's Brilliant Bar when he was free on weekends. It would be good to meet more senior colleagues.It also shows that the Brilliant Bar is very different from the bars that ordinary young people go to nowadays. It is a place that places great emphasis on literary and artistic exchanges.

Chen Xiaoqiang asked, "Do you know Nuonuo's mother?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head.

"The editor-in-chief of Qunwen Publishing House knows all great writers!"

Chen Xiaoqiang said that he could send Qi Qingnuo home, but Qi Qingnuo was not in a hurry, saying that he still wanted to enjoy Yang Jingxing's new equipment.When the two returned to school, Yang Jingxing asked, "Does your father still have long hair?"

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "Yes, but I'm blessed...but my dad's hair isn't disgusting, is it?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I also wanted to grow long hair when I was in junior high school."

Qi Qingnuo looked at Yang Jingxing, as if imagining his long hair, shook his head and said, "I advise you to stop thinking like that."

Yang Jingxing asked about the matter: "Are you willing to let [-] act out what I wrote?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "In principle, no...it depends on how well you write."

Yang Jingxing asked again: "Have you considered adding vocal music?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "I tried it, but it didn't work, take your time... Don't think of yourself as a [-] person!"

Yang Jingxing also reasoned: "Who told you to seduce me?"

Qi Qingnuo laughed: "Who seduced you? I'll be removed!"

"you!"

Qi Qingnuo said: "Then you should give up early, you are really not my type."

Yang Jingxing was sad: "Why?"

Qi Qingnuo was decisive: "First of all, I really don't like your looks."

Yang Jingxing nodded and covered his face: "Well, this is also my knot."

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "A handsome man, no matter what he does, gives me a very impure feeling, very floating, especially you...you don't feel inferior, do you?"

Yang Jingxing was very angry: "You are allowed to be beautiful, and others will be guilty if they are not ugly!"

Qi Qingnuo comforted: "Personal taste, there are many people who like you, so don't take it to heart."

Yang Jingxing asked: "It seems that there is another one?"

Qi Qingnuo giggled: "It's not just second! Second, I don't like rich men, I really don't like them, especially the rich second generation."

Yang Jingxing rejoiced: "That's okay, I'm not."

Qi Qingnuo struck: "Don't hide it, you are already established in my mind."

Yang Jingxing became angry: "Don't go too far!"

Qi Qingnuo was very proud: "Third, like all women, I don't like men who play tricks."

Yang Jingxing was surprised: "Have you seen through all this?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "There is a specialization in art, tell me, are you a monkey breaking corn, Erhu today and Guzheng tomorrow, what do you really like?"

Yang Jingxing said passionately, "I like music!"

Qi Qingnuo said: "Forget it. Fourth... Forget it, I see that you are a bit unbearable, let's talk about it next time."

Yang Jingxing praised viciously: "You are so kind!"

Qi Qingnuo laughed.

Yang Jingxing called Yu Xinting and said, "Let's go, go clean up."

Yu Xinting said, "I mopped the floor at noon."

Yang Jingxing said: "I didn't drag it clean, I want to criticize you!"

Yu Xinting said, "Of course not, I'll come down right away."

Yu Xinting came over and saw Qi Qingnuo and Yang Jingxing together, and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I'm so full, I'm full of gas."

Yu Xinting asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Qingnuo laughed, and hugged Yu Xinting's shoulder: "Don't pay attention to him, let him have a longer meal."

Opening the door of [-] and looking inside, Yu Xinting screamed and jumped into the classroom with both feet: "When did you come here? I don't even know!"

Qi Qingnuo said: "You are the one who is surprised, the drumstick is in that box."

Yu Xinting quickly went to find it, opened the drumstick bag, took out the drumstick, tapped it excitedly with both hands, looked at Yang Jingxing and smiled.

Yang Jingxing said: "Let's improvise." He ran to the back of the double row of keys and started the machine.

Qi Qingnuo didn't fight with Yang Jingxing, picked up the guitar and hung it up, turned on the stereo, and tried the sound effect a little.Yu Xinting quickly sat behind the drum, adjusted the bench, and found: "There are two more cymbals."

Yang Jingxing fiddled with it for a while to set the tone.The main keyboard is for brass and strings in unison, and the sub keyboard is responsible for solo and so on.Fortunately, he learned from Cheng Hao, otherwise it would take a long time to understand those settings.

After finishing it by himself, Yang Jingxing asked, "Are you ready?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "It's been a long time, let's start."

So Yang Jingxing started, and the brass pipes played in unison as soon as he came up.Generally speaking, the brass ensemble is used to express grandeur, but Yang Jingxing's prelude is relatively melodious. I don't know if he is not familiar with the equipment or did it on purpose.

This brass prelude was repeated three times. Qi Qingnuo and Yu Xinting looked at Yang Jingxing in surprise.It's a very good melody, it's not really improvised.

Then, Yang Jingxing's string chorus followed up again. It was a variation of the previous melody, but the brass pipes hadn't finished yet, and it became an orchestral chorus. It was grand and melodious. In just a few seconds, it gave people goosebumps.

Both Qi Qingnuo and Yu Xinting forgot their responsibilities, and looked at Yang Jingxing, expecting him to finish playing this piece of music.But Yang Jingxing repeated the prelude again, and signaled Yu Xinting with his eyes: "There is no drumbeat, hurry up, just improvise, play whatever you want."

Yu Xinting listened to Yang Jingxing's astonishing orchestral melody and rhythm, but she was a little anxious. The drumstick was raised several times without falling. After Yang Jingxing repeated it again, she finally found the feeling and stomped on the bass drum.

"Very good!" Yang Jingxing praised: "Add a snare drum."

Come again, Yu Xinting added a snare drum, and the rhythm was pretty good, Qi Qingnuo felt it: "Add a tom drum here, four or three beats! Come again!"

Is this too high a requirement for a beginner like Yu Xinting, but the little girl is also very excited and eager to try.

Furthermore, although the drumbeat and the orchestral rhythm did not match very closely, Qi Qingnuo still clenched his fists: "It's so cool!"

After the prelude was over, Yang Jingxing said, "It's your turn."

Of course Qi Qingnuo used Yang Jingxing's melody, but he added chords himself, which felt very good. Although it was short, it was such a wonderful solo.

Yang Jingxing was still not satisfied, and said, "Isn't it fuller to use a minor nine chord and then add a minor seventh inversion here?"

Qi Qingnuo couldn't wait: "Come again, you start."

This time it was relatively complete. The brass chorus repeated the melody three times, then the strings and drums cut in, repeated it again, and then the orchestra, drums and electric guitar.

It's not perfect, but the feeling of melody and rhythm has come out. Thanks to the melody, the effect is very good. It is both magnificent and emotional, and it can make the auditory nerves excited immediately.

The piece was less than half a minute long, but Qi Qingnuo was so excited that he hugged the guitar in circles, walked up to Yu Xinting in two steps, and ordered: "Stand up!"

Yu Xinting was a little scared, hehe, stood up.Qi Qingnuo was very rude, hugged Yu Xinting's head and kissed her hard on the face.

Yu Xinting was terrified and almost poked Qi Qingnuo with a drumstick. After Qi Qingnuo let go of her, she conditionally wiped the kissed place on her face with the back of her hand.

Yang Jingxing was anxious: "What about me? What about me!"

Qi Qingnuo calmed down, and called Yu Xinting: "You go."

Yu Xinting looked at Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Look at you, your face is flushed with fright."

Yu Xinting denied angrily: "No!" Knocking each other with drumsticks.

Qi Qingnuo abandoned Yang Jingxing and soloed the half-minute piece on the guitar.It's not bad, but it's still worse than orchestral unison in terms of momentum.

Qi Qingnuo was still very satisfied, and sighed: "It's been a long time since I felt this way!"

Yang Jingxing flaunted himself: "I am repaying grievances with virtue."

Qi Qingnuo raised his palm: "I don't accept it!"

Yang Jingxing said: "I still go ahead." He said to Yu Xinting: "Be careful, don't let her get her way!"

Yu Xinting knew how to laugh.

Qi Qingnuo said: "That's not your turn either!"

This piece is the piano piece that Yang Jingxing wrote recently. Of course, he also conceived a version for the orchestra.The brass prelude just now was a whim, but I didn't expect the effect to be very good.

Yang Jingxing first played the 5-minute piece with the tone of the grand piano, so that Yu Xinting and Qi Qingnuo had a general understanding.The two girls were fascinated. The whole piece has two voices, one passionate and the other melodious. They support each other, plump and compare each other, and there is a bit of Chinese style.

Yu Xinting said: "It's so nice."

Qi Qingnuo looked at Yang Jingxing: "I will take back the thousandth article."

Yang Jingxing was angry: "Not so many?"

Yu Xinting asked: "What one thousand?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "His shortcomings."

Yu Xinting giggled.

Then the three of them started to arrange music for the band together.In this regard, Qi Qingnuo was able to discuss with Yang Jingxing, but Yu Xinting was a little bit behind and dared not express any opinions.Fortunately, Yang Jingxing attached great importance to Yu Xinting's weight and added a lot of drum beats.There are also double keys to imitate the effect of timpani, which feels really good and is not difficult.

Yu Xinting was a little scared: "I'll just listen, you guys come."

Yang Jingxing taught him a lesson: "What do you think you were asked to do! Don't say no!"

Yu Xinting felt a little wronged: "I didn't say that."

Qi Qingnuo hehe: "I'm in your favor."

Yu Xinting shook her head: "No!"

Yang Jingxing said, "It's true that you took advantage of her."

Qi Qingnuo was even proud: "Come on, give me a kiss."

Yu Xinting quickly avoided.

Although Yang Jingxing already had a more specific idea before, the three of them still discussed and experimented for an hour.After almost finalizing the draft, Yang Jingxing adjusted the equipment and played it again.

As for double buttons, Qi Qingnuo is much more proficient than Yang Jingxing, so he can teach him a lot, and he can also help him press the switch button.The whole piece is a brass unison repeating the prelude, and then a string unison to keep up.After the prelude, the music was quiet for a while, and the theme was introduced by string plucking, followed by the piano playing the leading role, and the electric guitar playing the supporting role, with string ensemble and drum accompaniment.The theme of the whole piece is clear, the melody is magnificent, and the atmosphere echoes back and forth.

This is Yang Jingxing's first composition!

Yang Jingxing played again by himself.Qi Qingnuo was no longer excited: "You're almost there, come together!"

Yu Xinting disagreed: "So good!"

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "Didn't you see that? He doesn't like others to say he's good." Then he taught Yang Jingxing and added a synthesizer sound to make the effect more full.

Three people come together again.Because Yu Xinting only needs to play one or two drums well, it's not too difficult, and Qi Qingnuo's electric guitar is also fine.At any rate, Yang Jingxing was a genius with a background in classical piano, and his double row keys were also qualified.And all three are serious.

At the end of the song, Yu Xinting put down the drumsticks and clapped vigorously, but when she saw Qi Qingnuo rushing towards her, she quickly covered her face to avoid it.Qi Qingnuo was just trying to scare Yu Xinting, so he didn't really want to kiss.

Yu Xinting said, "I want the score."

Yang Jingxing promised: "I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Qi Qingnuo said, "I want to too."

Yang Jingxing took revenge: "No!"

Qi Qingnuo said: "I dedicate my life to music, come on!" Facing Yang Jingxing, he closed his eyes tightly, his expression twisted and his lips pouted, which was ugly.

Yang Jingxing was scared: "I'll give it to me."

Yu Xinting giggled and asked Yang Jingxing, "What's the name of the song?"

Yang Jingxing said, "I haven't taken it yet, think about it."

This Yu Xinting was not afraid, and accepted the task honorably: "Then I will think about it tonight."
