Chapter 1283

"Yang, how do you want to play?" Several musicians also asked Xiao Yao, "do you have an idea?"

"First of all, the change of rhythm and speed." Xiao Yao turns his head and looks at the musicians.

"It's a good idea to change rhythm and speed." Several musicians nodded and said, "but how and where?"

"My idea is," Xiao Yao said, "the first part of the main song and the chorus remain unchanged. Starting from the second part of the main song, we speed up the performance. At the beginning of the third part of the main song, we slow down and become slower than the original. The third section of the main song is relatively short, so it's not long after this section slows down. Starting from the prelude of this paragraph, we'll speed it up again. I think it's better to be faster than the second paragraph, and then go back to the original speed when we finish the prelude. "

"Fast, slow, fast, it doesn't sound very complicated." The drummer nodded and asked, "but how fast and how slow should it be?"

"When we practiced just now, the speed was about 96 beats per minute," Xiao Yao thought and said, "I want to speed up by one-third in the second paragraph to about 128 beats per minute. In the third stage, the deceleration and acceleration were reduced by half, 48 beats per minute and 144 beats per minute respectively. Do you want to try the effect first? "

"No problem!" Several musicians all said.

There is no metronome at the scene, but we are all experienced professional musicians, so we can feel and grasp the speed of the music. 96 beats per minute is a common medium speed in music. There is no problem in the speed when you practice before. On this basis, it is not very difficult for you to increase or decrease by one-third or one-half, as long as you unify in advance.

"Wait a minute," interrupted Cody Scott, "young, what did you say? So is there anything else? "

"For the rest, I improvise when I'm ready to practice, so I don't have any requirements for the band's musicians." When Xiao Yao said this, he suddenly said, "by the way, for the chorus part, please help us sing the harmony."

"OK, no problem!" Several musicians all said with a smile.

The score Xiao Yao gave to several musicians is only melody, no lyrics. But Xiao Yao's part of the chorus marked on the song has only one lyric, which is repeated twice in the first two times and four times in the last. Musicians have heard Xiao Yao sing three times. Even if they can't remember the lyrics of the whole song, one of the lyrics of this chorus is remembered.

After discussion, rehearsal continues.

According to the agreement, there is no change in the prelude and the main song of the first paragraph. In the first two lines of the chorus, several musicians began to sing with Xiao Yao. At this time, Xiao Yao didn't have any "Yao moth", so he sang with the musicians very conventionally.

When it comes to the second part of the main song, all the musicians obviously speed up the performance, and Xiao Yao's singing speed will naturally speed up.

From here on, the rhythm of the whole song speeds up, giving people a different feeling as a whole, and Xiao Yao also begins to give people a different feeling. The change of Xiao Yao's singing is not only the acceleration of speed, but also the improvisation. For example, at the end of the first sentence of the second main song, when Xiao Yao sings "on the radio", he suddenly has a flick of the tongue.

As soon as this strange voice came out, everyone showed a very unexpected expression. However, everyone was very professional. Although the musicians all showed surprised smiles, they didn't stop on their hands. There was no pause or error in the accompaniment of the instrument. However, the onlooker, Cordy Scott, pointed to Xiao Yao in surprise and humor, but didn't laugh to disturb everyone's rehearsal.

Xiao Yao's improvisation is not the only singing in this place. When it comes to the second part of the chorus, the band members sing harmony with him, and Xiao Yao adds some humming in the interval between the two sentences, which can't understand the lyrics and has no actual meaning.

These humming without the meaning of the actual lyrics make Cordy Scott and the musicians more recognize Xiao Yao's improvisation, which makes their perception of Xiao Yao a new level.

"Very good, very interesting!" At the end of the song, the onlooker, Cordy Scott, clapped his hands heartily and said, "young, you're unbelievable!"

"Cody, I like this guy!" The electric guitarist cried to Cody Scott with a smile.

"Thank you Xiao Yao said to the guitarist with a smile, "but I'm here now! You like me, shouldn't you just tell me? "

"Ha ~" Xiao Yao's remark caused a lot of laughter.

Laughter did not stop, rehearsal room door was pushed open, a female voice sounded: "what did I miss?"

Everyone turned around and found Nicky Thompson coming in. Behind her, in addition to her agent, Amy Hatton, there was a staff member named Vincent.

"Nikki, is your rehearsal complete?" Asked Cordy Scott.

"Yes Nicky Thompson nodded. "It's OK after rehearsal. Come and see how you're doing.""Seems to be going well?" Nicky Thompson asked again.

"Better than smooth!" Cordy Scott laughs, "young is really talented. His new song is very good. I've practiced it several times just now, but there's no big problem with it. What's more, he has made some special changes and designs for stage performance, which is a way of live performance. It feels great and interesting. I'm sure he'll have no problem taking this opportunity. "

"Is it?" Nicky Thompson was happy for a moment. Then he closed a little smile and looked at Xiao Yao with a smile. "I remember that someone was Amy, who asked to be a stage director for me. Unexpectedly, he became a guest of the show. If it doesn't help me, I need someone else to help him with his hands and musical instruments! "

"As a friendly reminder," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "if I remember correctly, it's not me who proposed to replace Hopson as the guest of the show! You and Cordy proposed to Mr. Green that I be the guest of the show. I promised to fight for it, but I didn't embarrass you in front of Mr. Green. Didn't that help you? "

"By the way," Xiao Yao added, "you are the first to suggest to Mr. Green that I be the guest of the show! Cordy just told Mr. Green that he agreed with your proposal, which was said after you. As a result, it's cordi who plays musicians and musical instruments to help me, but it's you who don't do anything

"Ha ~" said Cordy with a smile, "Yang has a point!"

"Hey, Cordy, who are you helping?" Nicky Thompson gave Cody Scott a disgruntled look.

"Bang Yang, of course!" Cordy Scott took it for granted, "why should I help you?"

"Well, Nicky," Amy Hatton said, "you can't say that. You've never been at a loss!"

"Well, I'll help you!" Nicky Thompson told Shaw, "all you need now is musicians. I was rehearsing just now. I can't lend you the musicians. Now that I've finished rehearsal, I can lend you the musician. I'm going to let my musicians come over and replace the cordi musicians. When I'm on the stage, let my musicians accompany you

"Hello, Nikki, what are you doing?" Cordy Scott said, "they've all done as well as young!"

"It doesn't matter. You can do it again." Nicky Thompson said, "what Yang said is very reasonable. I proposed to David that Yang be the guest of the show, but I didn't help him. I'm sorry, so I want to help him! It only took me half an hour to rehearse, and you've almost done it. Now it's more than an hour before David says it's time to practice again! "

"Nikki, don't be ridiculous!" Amy Hatton Road.

"Yang, what do you say?" Nicky Thompson looks at Shaw road.

"Thank you for the musicians." Xiao Yao nodded with a smile and said, "many musicians use their own musical instruments. It's already arranged here, and it's troublesome to exchange. Would you like to find another rehearsal room for the organizer? Besides, I heard that there are harmony singers in your performance. Can you call the harmony singers and ask them to rehearse with me

"Yang, what are you doing?" Cordy Scott said in surprise, "do you really want to change musicians?"

"Oh ~" Xiao Yao laughed and turned to the musicians, "hard work, everyone, please continue to practice this song. When you come to the stage later, I still want to ask you to accompany me!"

"Do you want us to accompany you?" Several musicians doubted, "do you want to change musicians or not?"

The musicians had a good time rehearsing with Xiao Yao, but after Xiao Yao asked Nicky Thompson for the musicians, they didn't look very good. Originally, we had to wait with you for half an hour, but you said you wanted to change people? But now after listening to Xiao Yao's words, we really don't understand what Xiao Yao means.

Cordy Scott, Nicky Thompson and Amy Hatton also looked at each other. They felt that their heads were thick and they didn't know what Xiao Yao meant. Finally, Cody Scott asked, "what do you mean, young? Do you want to change musicians or not? "

"Change? Why change it? " Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"If you don't change it, why do you ask Nikki to call in musicians and harmonic singers to find a place for rehearsal?" Asked Cody Scott.

"Because I decided to work with two groups of musicians to prepare two performances." Xiao Yao said, "since Nicky wants to provide me with musicians, I don't want to disappoint her, so I'll prepare another song. Your musicians help me to accompany "the remedy", Nicky's musicians and harmonic singers help me to accompany and sing another song. In addition, these two songs are both my works, and the musicians are relatively unfamiliar, but I am very familiar with them. I don't need to practice as much time as them. So when I go to prepare the second song, I can also use this time to continue to practice familiarity. "

"You're going to prepare two performances?" Cordy Scott and Nicky Thompson said in a chorus of surprise.

"Yes Xiao Yao said, "Mr. Green didn't say I could only perform one song, did he? Of course, only one song can be performed at the award ceremony tomorrow night, but tonight is a competition between me and the Korean group. No one stipulates that only one song can be performed. I can prepare two performances for Mr. Green to choose! Don't you think I'm more likely to win? ""This ~" everyone looked at Xiao Yao very speechless.

"What do you say, Nikki?" This time, Xiao Yao told Nicky Thompson.

Nicky Thompson gritted his teeth, turned to Vincent and Amy Hatton and said, "Vincent, please help us find another rehearsal place. Amy, you go to talk to the musicians and the harmonic singers."

"I don't need all the musicians to come. The musicians I need are..." Xiao Yao told Amy Hatton about the configuration of musicians he needed, and finally said, "in addition, I need an acoustic guitar."

"OK, no problem!" Amy Hatton made a gesture.

In this situation, Amy Hatton can't say that Nicky Thompson is a fool, so she has to cooperate with them.

"Do you want to play guitar for the second song?" Asked Cody Scott with a smile.

"Of course!" Xiao Yao holds the wooden guitar in his arms.

Nicky Thompson looked at Xiao Yao holding a guitar in his hand, remembered that he had invited him to be a guitarist, and said, "Yang, I haven't heard what the songs you rehearsed with Cordy's band look like. My band's rehearsal room has some preparation time. Can you do it again now

"Yes, I can, but I think I need to do another thing first." Xiao Yaodao.

"What else do you want to do?" Cordy Scott road.

"Music score Xiao Yao said, "what I rehearsed with Nicky's band is a new song that hasn't been released. The musicians certainly don't know. I want to write out the score of that song first, which the musicians need to use when they rehearse and play. I don't know how long it will take them to prepare for the rehearsal room, but I think it's better to write it first, so that even if we don't finish the rehearsal here, they can have a look ahead of time, get familiar with it first, and don't have to sit and wait. "

"Save time!" Cody scock nodded and waved to the assistant again.

The assistant immediately handed the pen and paper to Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao still used the back of his guitar as his desk and wrote it down.

"This song is called lucky?" Cordy Scott asked when Xiao Yao wrote his name on the top of the score.

"Yes Xiao Yao nodded with a smile and said, "this song has something to do with me!"

"Oh?" Cordy Scott said, "it's about you?"

"Yes," Xiao Yao said, "I came to the United States on a vacation. It's not in my plan to come here tonight. As a result, Hopson had an accident, and I became a candidate for the guest of the show. Am I not very lucky? "

"But you didn't really want to be a guest at the awards ceremony." Nicky Thompson said.

"Ha Xiao Yao smiles.

"Young," said Cody Scott, "this time, can you write the lyrics and let me see what they look like?"

Xiao Yao refused to be his accompanist singer and guitarist. He agreed with Nicky Thompson. He felt that Xiao Yao didn't care much about the identity of the guest of honor at the Billboard Awards ceremony, but later promised that David Green should be related to those Koreans. He wants to see what kind of relationship this song has with Xiao Yao from the lyrics.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "but wait until the end."

Xiao Yao wrote several pieces of music scores, which were easy to play on the scores for the musicians of drum, bass and other special instruments, and finally wrote the lyrics on one of them.

Cordy Scott has been standing beside Xiao Yao, bending down to watch him write. When Xiao Yao wrote the lyrics of "boy I hear you", Cordy Scott couldn't help but ask curiously, "did you write this song for a female singer?"

"Is it?" After hearing the words of Cody Scott, Nicky Thompson, who was still standing on one side with some reserve, couldn't help coming over.

"Oh," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "you'll know when you listen!"
