Chapter 129 Familiar(1/2)
It was a rare opportunity for friends to get up close and personal with music. Fortunately, Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo were both good players, so they were very interested.
Lu Lin asked Qi Qingnuo: "How long does it take to learn to be like you?"
Qi Qingnuo conservatively estimated: "If you practice three or four hours a day, if you have a teacher to teach you, three or four years will be enough."
Lu Lin was shocked: "Oh wow, how can he practice piano like he does?"
Qi Qingnuo still said: "No one can compare with him. The piano is not as easy to learn as the guitar. Just put a guitar in the dormitory and you can play it when you have nothing to do."
Lu Lin didn't believe it: "He has only studied for a year or two. He was like us before and didn't understand anything!"
Zhang Yang said: "This depends on IQ and EQ. You have neither, so don't ask!"
Yang Jingxing invited his friends: "It's your turn, sing a song."
Qi Qingnuo also said: "We will accompany you."
Lu Lin still asked Zhang Yang's opinion: "Shall we sing?"
Zhang Yang was worried: "Is it a shame?"
Lu Lin disdainfully said: "What are you guys so embarrassed about? It's not embarrassing for you to be Mai Ba!"
Xu Wei also said: "Come on, let's sing."
Zhang Yang cupped his fists at Lu Lin and said, "Please don't sing in Cantonese."
Lu Lin said: "They must be singing about the city god!"
Several people discussed it, and Du Ling decided: "Just "Free Air"!" This is the representative work of the Chenghuang Band in its later period, and the lyrics and music were written and composed by Qi Dawei.
Qi Qingnuo nodded in support: "They wrote this when I was just in kindergarten." So this song is different from other masterpieces of Chenghuang Band. The overall feeling of this song is warm, and the lyrics are "accompany you to grow up happily."
, I hope you breathe the free air” such a gentle sentence.
The friends also wanted to recall the lyrics, and Yang Jingxing also set up the keyboard. Because the original version of "Free Air" was mainly composed of guitar and bass, the bass was more important, and the bass accent was used to give the song a solid foundation from beginning to end.
There were only three microphones in total. Zhang Yang forced Lu Lin and Xu Wei together. He and Qi Qingnuo paired up. Qi Qingnuo laughed. Yang Jingxing turned the microphone next to the keyboard to Du Ling and reminded his friend.
People: "Don't shout, sing softly."
I tried the mic and started when I was ready. The intro was guitar and bass, and a very simple drum rhythm. Qi Qingnuo started first, and Yang Jingxing followed.
Zhang Yang and the others were waiting hard, but Qi Qingnuo got it easily, playing the guitar and letting others relax with a smile. Du Ling didn't care about the other side, and naturally put her right hand on Yang Jingxing's shoulder, showing her natural stage presence.
My friends were not very good at listening, so after the prelude, Qi Qingnuo took the lead in singing, leaning her body and guitar to make room for Zhang Yang. She sang very softly, and Zhang Yang and the others followed suit.
After the friends got into the mood, Qi Qingnuo took a step back and concentrated on playing the guitar. A few people sang together, and it was quite neat without subtitles. Although the enunciation of the words was not so particular, the melody was right. Qi Qingnuo was originally
I was reminded to play the melody, but I found that Yang Jingxing was also doing this and concentrated on arranging the chords.
This song is in three parts. There is a guitar solo after the middle chorus. Yang Jingxing pointed out Qi Qingnuo to his friends in advance, and then made a pause gesture.
Qi Qingnuo originally planned to skip this section, but now he has to put in all his energy to perform a solo that sounds peaceful and beautiful but is actually quite difficult. This section of the solo has been praised by countless guitar players at the time and even now.
There are many people competing to imitate it. It has a good melody and rich chords interspersed with a seemingly absent bass. It can be called a classic.
As expected, a tiger father has no dog son, and the people in the audience have already begun to applaud Qi Qingnuo with his fingers flying. Yang Jingxing also played a good supporting role on the keyboard, but no one except Qi Qingnuo and his daughter could notice it.
After the solo, the chorus continues, a soothing and gentle ending. The Brilliant Bar usually does not perform songs by the Chenghuang Band, and today dozens of guests enjoyed the privilege. Although a few laymen did not sing very well, they still had a special feeling.
, everyone applauded and encouraged, even Qidawei raised his hands.
Although there was no shouting, the friends seemed to be having a great time. Lu Lin and Zhang Yang even gave high-fives in disgust. They felt a little hot, so they all opened their coats.
After resting and sitting down, Qi Qingnuo wiped the sweat from his forehead while clinking glasses with a few people. Du Ling also took the initiative this time. After everyone drank it in one gulp and had another glass, Qi Qingnuo said: "You sang well."
Zhang Yang said: "There is also a band in our hospital, I...I listened to it for half a minute and then left."
Lu Lin despised: "Compare you to the Conservatory of Music!"
Qi Qingnuo said: "Actually, the second most important thing is whether it's good or not, and having fun is the most important."
Zhang Yang asked: "Is your band one person?"
Qi Qingnuo said: "It's not a rock band, it's mainly folk music."
Xu Wei understood: "Is it the Erhu Pipa ones?"
Lu Lin was interested: "What are you playing?"
Qi Qingnuo said: "I still have the keyboard, the one he uses."
Lu Lin said: "It must be a composer, just like a conductor."
Yang Jingxing showed off: "It's a pity that you haven't heard of it. It's really wonderful."
Zhang Yang protested: "Can you please stop talking?"
Qi Qingnuo said: "We have performances every semester, so come and join us when you have time."
Lu Lin said: "When are you going to go? Do you have any photos?"
Zhang Yang: "Can you see the music in the photo?"
Lu Lin boldly confessed: "I just look at people, can't I!?"
Qi Qingnuo said: "There are training videos, but they are at home."
"Dizzy!" Lu Lin chanted again, "You haven't?" Look at Yang Jingxing.
Of course Yang Jingxing didn't. Qi Qingnuo looked at the time and said, "I'll go back and get it, you guys wait for me."
Zhang Yang dared to kick Yang Jingxing's chair: "Send it away!"
Qi Qingnuo said: "No, you guys chat, I'll drive my dad's car."
Yang Jingxing looked at Qi Qingnuo's slightly red face, stood up and said, "Get dressed."
Zhang Yang reminded: "Don't be unable to come back within an hour!"
Qi Qingnuo said: "It's very close, ten minutes."
After Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo left, several friends looked at each other. Lu Lin stretched and said, "It's so hot."
Du Ling glanced at it: "That's it."
Xu Wei said: "I guess I won't have time to play games with us when I go back."
Lu Lin remembered: "Did you call him last night?"
Zhang Yang was disdainful: "Am I as mother-in-law as you!"
Lu Lin didn't mind: "She will sit in front when I pick you up, right?"
Zhang Yang continued to scorn: "Obviously! No need to ask!"
Lu Lin hehe: "I think it's a bit interesting."
Zhang Yang said: "You said the same thing last time!"
Lu Lin said seriously: "Obviously this is more likely. Did you ask them when they met?"
Zhang Yang begged for mercy: "I beg you, please stop meddling in other people's business!"
Lu Lin finally counterattacked: "Didn't you look at yourself? You looked like a traitor when you saw the imperial army."
Zhang Yang was stimulated: "What about you? You sing like a pig and bray!"
Xu Wei reminded: "Keep your voice down." They were close to the bar.
Lu Lin whispered: "Look at their eyes!"
Du Ling sneered: "You can still look at each other!?"
Xu Wei said: "It may be a bit subtle, let's stay calm."
…
It was cold when going out, so Yang Jingxing asked Qi Qingnuo to button up his clothes and turn on the air conditioner when he got in the car. Qi Qingnuo asked, "Are you a Gang of Five or a Gang of Four?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Most of the time the Gang of Four."
"Do they all know Tao Meng?" Qi Qingnuo touched his pocket and prepared the key.
Yang Jingxing said: "I came here to play for a few days during the National Day."
Qi Qingnuo smiled: "They are all so innocent!"
Yang Jingxing understood: "We were just ordinary friends at that time."
Qi Qingnuo blames himself: "I am too dark, I have never believed it."
Yang Jingxing was silent. Qi Qingnuo asked again: "When will you leave tomorrow?"
…
They arrived soon. Qi Qingnuo reminded Yang Jingxing as he got out of the car: "You can send a few text messages."
Yang Jingxing got off the car and reminded: "Take your bag with you."
Qi Qingnuo put the bag in his hand and asked, "Would you like to go up and have a look?"
Yang Jingxing urged: "Come down quickly."
