Chapter 277 Recruitment(1/2)

When Yang Jingxing and his group walked over, both bands stood up, but the Rolling Thunder band stood at attention to salute Qidawei, while Cheng Lu, led by Zhao Gu, shook hands with Yang Jingxing and said hello.

Chidaway reminded Rolling Thunder that 402 was today's examiner, so the two bands exchanged candidates for each other.

Like Gun Lei, Cheng Lu was a bit shy and childish when facing Qi Dawei. However, Gun Lei was not as natural and familiar with Yang Jingxing as Cheng Lu was.

The Chenglu Band said hello to Fu Feirong again. The members introduced themselves and said some compliments. Rolling Thunder followed closely and said that someone had mentioned that Fu Feirong had a good voice.

Fu Feirong seems to have not adapted to her status, and her smile and handshake are not very generous. It seems that those months of assault training can only be effective for her on the stage.

The Rolling Thunder band is also quite young, with an average age of only twenty-three or four years old. However, the band's history on their resume is four or five years old. I'm not sure if that's an exaggeration.

The sun was shining brightly outside, so we quickly entered the bar. Qidawei didn't have the airs of a brilliant senior, so he invited everyone to sit wherever they wanted and asked the waiter to bring everyone a drink.

In order to recruit people, the layout of the bar has been slightly changed. A small table and a few chairs have been placed in front of the small stage, and the other seats have been moved to the side and back. The stage has also been tidied up to make it appear more spacious, so as not to disturb those who are full of youthful passion.

The band couldn't use their hands and feet.

Both bands sat at the bar. Yang Jingxing joined the Rolling Thunder band and learned more about the situation. The Rolling Thunder band came with five people, including drums, bass, two guitars, and keyboard players. They also brought their own CDs.

One was given to each of Qi Dawei, Yang Jingxing and Fu Feirong.

After answering the phone, Qi Qingnuo went to pick up the person, and soon the warhead repair band came in. The popularity of probe repair is really good. Qi Dawei and Yang Jingxing welcomed them, and Cheng Lu and Gun Lei also said hello. When Tang Qihua and Cai Feixuan explained clearly to their colleagues, they swore to

After they just came to join in the fun, the other two bands were even more grateful to them.

Qidawei was also very happy to chat with his juniors and accepted many questions from admirers and fans. However, he still emphasized the importance of Studio 402, saying that he believed that it was not only a job, but also an opportunity.

It’s not easy to find a good job in today’s society, so as soon as two o’clock arrived, four other bands came.

The four members of the Huhawa band, two men and two women, all seemed to be under twenty years old. They looked cool and didn't even bother to fawn over Four Zero Two, so they just said hello to David.

The three eldest men of the Twenty-One Band are all almost thirty. They have long hair and beards. They are really artistic. They are also cheerful and affectionate like Qidawei. Their resumes are also rich enough.

Both married people have good jobs, and one of them has his own studio and teaches vocal music!

The New Guitar Band is relatively average in temperament and seems quite reliable. The three men and one woman are all in their mid-twenties and have a lot of performance experience. Looking at their resumes, they have been in two well-known music bars for a long time.

The female team member is a guitarist and a singer. Duli released an album two years ago. What’s even more rare is the coincidence that she knows Sister Ran and calls her Senior Sister.

The Jai Alai Band is the only band that drives here in an old Jinbei van. There are six people in this band, four men and two women. Looking at the resume, the male lead singer does not know how to play any instrument. But they bring a lot of things.

, and Erhu Zhongruan and so on.

Including warhead repair, there were seven bands in total, with about thirty people. Yang Jingxing could almost call everyone in each band by name. He shuttled between the tables for a while, greeted each group, and returned them to them.

Introductions were made.

The vast majority of interviewees treat Yang Jingxing as an interviewer, and they also show their understanding of Studio 402 where they hope to work.

After everyone has had a drink and rested, the interview can begin.

Yang Jingxing went to the stage and said loudly: "Thank you everyone for your compliments today. In order not to waste your time, we will start now. There are three main steps. First, you will induce a solo, then cooperate with the singer, and finally the examiner will set the questions. There are

I hope you can contribute a song for everyone. We are reunited by fate, let’s be relaxed and happy, and treat it as communication. In addition, on behalf of everyone, I would like to thank Brother David for his warm hospitality.”

Everyone clapped and cheered along with Yang Jingxing, paying tribute to Qidawei who was about to take a seat at the examiner's seat.

Yang Jingxing added: "Just in the order of arrival, Rolling Thunder will come first. Please...other friends don't need to avoid it, otherwise how can we communicate with each other."

Gun Lei came on stage and, with the help of Yang Jingxing, installed and adjusted the two guitars they had brought. Qi Dawei, Qi Qingnuo, Sister Ran, and Fu Feirong all sat down at the examiner's bench. Fu Feirong was the most professional and also

Prepared pens and notebooks.

After helping the band get ready, Yang Jingxing went to sit in the middle examiner's seat reserved for himself, and said loudly: "It's best not to do a solo for more than one minute. Just show your best performance, and then introduce yourself."

Rolling Thunder's lead guitar player introduced himself passionately and then started a more passionate solo. He played his own works, but it was basically a patchwork of some classic techniques, and he didn't play badly.

In less than a minute, the musicians finished. Yang Jingxing took the lead in applauding, and then said: "Next one."

The drummer introduced himself and started again. He was not even one or two points worse than Nian Qing, but still stable. Yang Jingxing treated everyone equally and led the cheers...

After everyone soloed for a while, it was time for Fu Feirong to go on stage. The band ordered the songs themselves, but they were accompanied by complete accompaniment and prompts.

These bands work in bars on weekdays. Although they may not like those overly vulgar pop songs, they are the most proficient and confident ones, so Fu Feirong has to sing those too. Sister Ran and Qi Qingnuo are still afraid of Fu Fei

Rong has made a fool of herself, so she will be reminded with some looks and gestures.

Fu Feirong is now getting better and better at using the characteristics of her voice. She can usually sing her own characteristics in songs that are not difficult, so most of the applause after a song is for her. On the stage

Fu Feirong became more graceful again, and even shook hands with the band members before returning to their seats.

It was time for the interviewer to ask questions, and Yang Jingxing started first, but he asked some very simple questions and requirements. For example, he asked the guitarist to play a few basic chords, and asked the drummer to play a fake rhythm pattern. But even though it was simple,

, not all musicians can do it well.

But Yang Jingxing would comfort him again: "It doesn't matter, maybe college students don't dare to answer the one plus one question... Big brother?"

Qidawei did not ask professional questions, but looked at his resume and asked: "Tell me about your most memorable performance."

Qi Qingnuo also followed his father's thinking and asked the band members how long they had known each other and what performance experiences they had had that were worth mentioning.

Sister Ran asked the band's drummer just now why he didn't follow the singer's rhythm, which was a bit random. Such behavior was simply a retaliatory and provocative act by a musician who hates the singer.

The band members quickly apologized, saying that they didn't understand because they had never cooperated before, and the drummer also developed a habit because of the band's style and didn't pay attention for a while.

Fu Feirong was more tolerant and asked about the band's usual style, and then asked them to perform original works.

The Rolling Thunder Band also started by talking about where their most popular song had been performed and what radio stations it had played. It’s a punk-style song, but considering the overall standard of rock bands, it’s pretty good.

.

In about twenty minutes, a band's interview was completed. Yang Jingxing thanked him again and said that if anything happened, he could leave first and he would call to inform. The Rolling Thunder band might also want to compare with their peers, and if they wanted to stay, they would treat it as an audience. Qidawei motioned to the waiter to continue.

Bring drinks and some snacks.

Then came the Chenglu Band. Today they were dressed much more decently than the last time they came to the bar, and their hair had been styled, as if they were in line with Fu Feirong's red, clean and youthful style.

I have to say that Zhao Gu's bass is quite good. In a simple and ordinary solo, he performed calmly and accurately without losing his aura, but he did not deliberately pursue showing off his skills. Without Yang Jingxing taking the lead, his colleagues all applauded him.

In comparison, Liu Caijing's guitar is still a bit underdeveloped, but it's not bad. What's valuable is that he plays his own creations, and they are creations that Qi Qingnuo can praise.

Gao Hui performed more passionately and played a classic solo. Sun Qiao's drumming was more outstanding and had a good style.

Fu Feirong came on stage again, and what was surprising was that Chenglu Band said they would sing "Girl". Fu Feirong looked at Yang Jingxing, who told her to make her own decision.

Seeing the Chenglu band jumping into positions and trying their best, Fu Feirong nodded: "Okay, let's sing this."

Zhao Gu would like to explain that it is another electro-acoustic arrangement version of "Girl", with a guitar, a bass and a set of drums: "It's just a trick, brother David, 402, please bear with me."

Zhao Gu whispered a few words to the team members, discussed with Fu Feirong for a while, and then watched empty-handed.

At the beginning, the guitar replaced the piano in the original version. The melody was the same, but the rhythm of the bass matched well. "Girl" was originally a very pure and beautiful song, but Cheng Lu's new arrangement did not make a breakthrough in this aspect.

It is still as authentic as possible, so the classical music and bass are very soft, and the guitar is also very gentle. However, the thinness of several instruments turned out to be an advantage at this time.

Chenglu Band's performance at this time is definitely completely opposite to their requirements in their own works, but they performed very well. The original fresh and nostalgic flavor of the piano was replaced by the current feeling of slightly fashionable power. In the middle

There is also a transitional section, which can be regarded as Lu’s original creation rather than an adaptation, but it is also very nice to listen to and goes well with the original song.

Several bands in the audience inevitably whispered, most of them heard the sung version of "Cardamom" for the first time, and it was also the first time they heard "Cardamom" with electronic accompaniment. It must be fresh, and Cheng Lu did a great job.

Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo must have looked at each other in the affirmative.

When the song ended, everyone cheered. Qi Qingnuo asked first: "Why did you make this adaptation?"

Zhao Gu replied: "Because when I go out, there is not necessarily a piano there. I want to show that we can cooperate with a good singer and bring out her characteristics."

Maybe she was tired of singing with piano accompaniment, but Fu Feirong was smiling a little happily now, she must feel good.

Qidawei also asked: "What do you think is Fu Feirong's biggest feature?"

Zhao Gu replied: "Of course it's the voice, everyone can hear it. In addition, I also think she has an ordinary but outstanding beauty. I think this feeling is very special, so the band's style must completely serve the singer to highlight it."

She, otherwise it will be counterproductive."

As a singer, Sister Ran praised Chenglu Band: "...it can be seen that you are very hardworking, which is good."

Yang Jingxing still asked some simple questions, basically to test the band's basic skills.

Then there is Warhead Repair, a very flamboyant band, which is obvious in the solo. Cai Feixuan basically comes to show off her skills, and her boyfriend Tang Qihua also plays the keyboard very smoothly.

Probe Repair was obviously prepared. He collaborated with Fu Feirong on a song "Who Understands and Who Doesn't Understand" by Chenghuang Band. I felt sorry for Fu Feirong, who tried hard to express the power of Qidawei's voice, but it was no use of her innate conditions.

insufficient.

However, everyone was very happy to listen to it. The audience also performed the classic hand gestures of the Chenghuang Band that were popular all over the country. They followed the rhythm and made it very powerful.

After the fun, the program still had to go. Zidavi didn't ask any questions, he just praised the juniors and told them to do a good job. It was just like a talent show. Whatever Zidavi said would get bows of thanks and approval from the musicians on the stage.

Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo were just going through the motions. Qi Qingnuo asked Cai Feixuan why she dressed up in such a provocative manner, which caused a burst of laughter and Cai Feixuan almost ruined the scene.

Then there is the Huhawa band. They are really full of youthful energy. They jump up and down when they play solo. They are as expressive as their appearance.

. Huhawa collaborated with Fu Feirong on a dance-type song. The singers and musicians did not perform well, so that the subsequent questions were hastily ignored. Then the band left directly.

The Twenty-One Band has good skills and Typhoon is stable, but their main purpose today seems to be to pay tribute to Qidawei, and they don't care at all whether they can get a job or not.

The New Guitar Band has a very professional feel, with three members having graduated from vocational schools. The only female member has been in the industry for more than ten years, and her solo is all about playing and singing.

The interviewers were very positive about the new guitar's professionalism, but they didn't have too many questions.

The Jai Alai band, which was the most popular, performed the worst. Seeing that one person could play several musical instruments, but the level was similar to that of the bands hired by small shops when they opened, Fu Feirong even frowned!

It was already five o'clock when the entire interview ended. Yang Jingxing thanked each band and sent them off and asked them to wait for notification. Only Cai Feixuan stayed and wanted to participate in the discussion, but first she took a look at what Fu Feirong had been writing and drawing.
To be continued...
