During this period of time, Zhong Dao replaced AK as a frequent visitor to the bar. With the broadcast of the program, more and more people knew Zhong Dao. With his joining the bar's resident singer, the number of customers increased significantly. The songs ordered by the guests are also all kinds of strange, and there is no better training than this.
The song that got the most clicks was actually Sui Qingchi's song, and the reason was obvious. Everyone thought he looked like Sui Qingchi, and used him as a substitute for dinner. Zhong Dao was not as disgusted with being Sui Qingchi's substitute as before, but Fu Cuo could see that he was still somewhat unhappy. In the final analysis, the eighteen-year-old Zhong Dao is more tolerant than the nineteen-year-old Sui Qingchi, for example, he didn't say that I sing a hundred thousand songs.
At the end of the day's resident singing, Ying Ying and Xiao Man left, but Zhong Dao did not. Fu Cuo wondered: "Aren't you going back?"
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Zhong Dao looked at the few customers left in the bar and asked.
Fu wrongly said no.
Zhong Dao looked a little bored, finally nodded, sat down on the empty chair at the bar, and said, "Then I'll wait for you to get off work."
Fu Cuo looked at the time on his phone: "It's still two hours."
"I know." Zhong Dao said.
Fu Cuo didn't know what Zhong Dao insisted on waiting for him to do. Seeing the boy's sullen look, he probably wouldn't say anything until the bar was closed, so he ignored him. In many cases, what was used to deal with Sui Qingchi is more than enough to deal with Zhong Dao.
Zhong Dao waited for two full hours that day, and when the last customer left, there were only the two of them left in the bar. Fu Cuo cleaned the wine glasses and hung them up one by one. Zhong Dao stood by the bar counter and looked up at him. Just hanging the wine glass, the two of them get along well.
Finally, Fu Cuo wiped his hands and asked, "Just tell me what you have."
Zhong Dao said: "I want you to listen to me sing a song."
"Is it the track for the competition?"
"Um."
Fu Cuo put down the rag, went around the bar, went to the side and turned on the lights in the direction of the stage, and said, "Sing."
Zhong Dao lowered his head and muttered, "I didn't say I was going to sing on stage," but he still took out his phone and walked up.
There was still the high stool in the center of the table. Zhong Dao walked over and sat down, and the accompaniment was played from the phone. Fu Cuo recognized it after hearing the prelude of a bar, and was stunned.
It's "Beautiful".
Zhong Dao was sitting on the high chair. To be precise, the cat bent his back and pinned himself there with a force. His legs were not as long as Sui Qingchi, but they were bent up against the chair legs, like a ninja, bowing his head. Concentrate on the lyrics in your phone. Fu Cuo frowned and looked at him, wondering whether he chose Xifeng's song on purpose or a coincidence, but when Zhong Dao's voice came out, his mind suddenly turned sadly, Zhong Dao might not even know that it was Xifeng's song , in the eyes of most people, this is Sui Qingchi's song, and it has nothing to do with Xifeng long ago.
However, the lyrics are still the same, and the accompaniment is still the same... Should he blame Sui Qingchi for not giving him peace, or thank Sui Qingchi for keeping Xifeng's song from being forgotten and buried
Zhong Dao looked down at the lyrics on his phone, and he could see that he was trying very hard to get into the world of lyrics, wanting every sentence, every word to reveal its true meaning in front of him, but he was always an outsider.
After the lyrics were sung and the accompaniment came to an end, Fu Cuo slowly came back to his senses and said, "It's pretty good."
To be honest, he didn't know why Zhong Dao let him listen, and he really couldn't give any constructive advice on singing.
"You told me before that my singing lacked contagiousness," Zhong Dao put down his phone and asked, "Did I infect you just now?"
Fu Cuo was a little embarrassed, how did he answer this
Zhong Dao took a deep breath, got up and walked down, and twitched the corners of his lips somewhat self-deprecatingly: "I saw your reaction, and thought it would be somewhat contagious."
Fu Cuo was speechless, thought for a while, and asked, "Your mentor... what did he say?"
"He said it's okay." Zhong Dao shrugged, put on the messenger bag, put the mobile phone in, put on the buckle, and said with obvious depression, "But I don't think it's enough."
Fu Cuo watched Zhong Dao push the door and leave, imagining Sui Qingchi saying "it's okay" to Zhong Dao. These two words came from the mouth of Zhonger Tianwang, which was more perfunctory than others, because Sui Qingchi's The expression can't be fake, he must have said "it's okay" with the expression of "what the hell are you singing", and Zhong Dao is not stupid, he must be very puzzled why Sui Qingchi was willing to replace him sincerely in the first place canvassing, and treating his game so perfunctorily.
This is not surprising, because Sui Qingchi probably doesn't understand it himself.
He has been with Sui Qingchi for so many years, and in the end, there may be only one thing that he understands, that is, he is an Animal Boy, who can be intimate with you endlessly when he is calm, and respects his instinct when he is not calm. His charm is also born here, so there is nothing to complain about, if you like him, you have to embrace his dark side.
But things were a little more miserable than he imagined, because Sui Qingchi never told Zhong Dao that it was okay. He never said a word to Zhong Dao.
On Weibo, an insider who claimed to be "The Strongest Voice on the Surface" broke the news, saying that Sui Qingchi never guided the students as required by the contract, not even once.
The revelation was sent anonymously to a marketing account that eats melons through a private message, and was immediately transferred tens of thousands by Sui Qingchi's blackmail. The marketing account probably received a lot of threats from Sui Qingchi's fans, and finally left a sentence "I'm afraid, I'm afraid." I can't afford it" and deleted the blog. But this revelation has already spread on the Internet. Fans searched for Sui Qingchi's real-time impressions, and the three words "breach of contract", "playing a big name" and "disrespectful" are impressive. Many people even went to the Weibo of four of Sui Qingchi's students to ask them to testify, but all four of them shut down, and only one student liked a Weibo that praised Tang Du's dedication, which was immediately used as a screenshot To prove that what the news broke is true, this is to imply that Sui Qingchi is not professional.
So Sui Qingchi's fans started attacking these four students again, and the one who praised them naturally bore the brunt, followed by Zhong Dao. Although he turned off the comments, it didn't stop the fans from going crazy @ him. It's good to call him ungrateful. Fu Cuo searched Weibo, and some of the abuse was simply unsightly.
That night, Sui Qingchi's studio issued an explanation, with only one simple sentence:
——Mr. Sui Qingchi has faithfully fulfilled his contractual obligations since taking over the file "The Strongest Voice on the Surface". We reject any rumor-making and rhythmic behavior, and will reserve the right to pursue the legal responsibility of the other party.
At the same time, the program group also posted a Weibo, claiming that the person who broke the news was not an insider of the program group at all, please don't believe similar rumors.
Unexpectedly, the person who broke the news immediately released a rehearsal schedule. At the same time, Sui Qingchi was not even in China. He was in Los Angeles preparing a new EP with an internationally renowned music producer. This time things got really big.
Fu Cuo really didn't want to care about it anymore. He told himself that this matter had something to do with Sui Qingchi and Zhong Dao, and had nothing to do with him. Sometimes, whenever he takes a break from his busy schedule, he always thinks of the way AK hugged him before he left, choked up unwillingly.
He opened the door with two bags of garbage, followed the light in the alley, walked slowly to the entrance of the alley, and looked at the CTR campus across the road.
Their youth seems to be still there, only four lanes apart.
That guy, did he really entrust his dream to that boy...
After returning to the bar, he casually asked Yao Ke: "What stage is "The Strongest Voice on the Surface" going?"
"Didn't you watch it?" Yao Ke said, "The next preview will be the two groups of tutors drawing lots to compete against each other, right?"
"PK?"
My heart skipped a beat when I heard these two syllables.
However, the PK competition system of "The Strongest Voice on the Surface" is different from theirs back then. It is said that the four instructors draw lots, and those who are drawn into a group will PK with the students from both sides. As for who will PK, it is arranged by the instructor.
If the PK starts in the next period, it means that the next period has already been recorded. Fu Cuo guessed that Sui Qingchi should not be among the mentors in the first period of PK, so Zhong Dao came to him because he was not sure.
There are already people who eat melons speculating that the so-called insider who broke the news is one of Sui Qingchi's four students, because other instructors will come to the scene to instruct the students, let alone in the PK competition, Sui Qingchi has to face each other. It is not revealed that his students were originally selected by Tang Du. It is estimated that he has no feelings or sense of responsibility for the students, which fits his personality too well. But some people said that they actually arranged offline instructors for the students, and it really didn't matter if Sui Qingchi didn't show up.
Fu Cuo checked on the Internet. Among the four students under Sui Qingchi, one is from a well-known domestic hip-hop label, the other is a third-year student at the CTR Conservatory of Music, and the other is a netizen who has been active on the Internet for several years. Red musician, people soon began to speculate whether the person who broke the news would be Zhong Dao, because he was the only one who had no background, and had never studied music. He wanted to find a team or friends in the circle to help him as a staff, but he couldn't find it. PK Sui Qingchi's failure to coach before the game had the greatest impact on him.
Because Sui Qingchi has not stated his position, the people who eat melons have already discussed it in an uproar:
— Zhong Dao couldn't be so ungrateful when he canvassed for him so sincerely in the second year of secondary school.
—That’s hard to say, maybe he just looks like Sui Qingchi in every way [狗头]
—That’s really not a family that doesn’t enter a house
——Zhong Dao, don’t try to get ahead of others, Sui Qingchi will send someone else to pass the CTR based on his ability, Sui Qingchi played the guitar very slickly when he debuted, Zhong Dao can do anything but sing nonsense
—CTR has not yet graduated from the second year of middle school, so I am embarrassed to blow it up
Fu Cuo couldn't stand it, closed Weibo, handed over the bar to a colleague, turned into the small backstage room, closed the door behind him, and sent a voice message to Zhong Dao: You come to my place, my time is limited , out of date.
Zhong Dao didn't reply to him, but he arrived an hour later, with a baseball cap pressed down very low, blocking the door and saying "what's the matter".
Fu Cuo sat in front of the old table with a notebook in front of him. On the screen was the engineering page of a song. He took off his earphones, pulled out his chair and stood up, saying, "Come here."
Zhong Dao went to the chair in a daze and sat down, picked up the earphones and wanted to put them on. Fu Cuo said, "The hat is off, it looks intrusive." He obediently took off his baseball cap, looked up and asked, "What is it?"
"The new arrangement of "Beautiful"." Fu Cuo said, "Listen carefully, and call me later if you have any questions."
"Wait a minute!" Zhong Dao called to stop him.
Fu Cuo stopped at the door and turned around.
With an expression of "I want to calm down, I can't act flattered", Zhong Dao paused for a while before asking, "Why help me?"
"AK please mine." Fu Cuo said and walked out and closed the door behind him.
Zhong Dao heard the door lock "click", and then slowly regained his senses, put on his earphones, and clicked play. The chords swept by the electric guitar in the prelude have a sense of mystery, which unveils the veil of the whole song. With the entry of a section of restless drumbeats, the tracks began to interweave side by side, and Zhong Dao fell into it unknowingly. This version The newly arranged "Beautiful" really feels much better than what the offline tutor and music director teacher made for him. When communicating with his offline tutor, he mentioned the form of arrangement he wanted, but he didn't know if he didn't express it clearly. The arrangement that came out was not satisfactory. These professionals communicated, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet during the rehearsal, but they also went to see the rehearsal scene of other contestants, so they knew the difference. The other three groups of contestants all had star mentors present during the rehearsal. Teacher Mingzhu and Teacher Tong Guandong were music producers who knew how to arrange music. An Jie was a queen who knew stage and typhoon. The others in the group inevitably felt a little resentful. Wu Xiao in their group was a rapper, and the four of them drank a few more drinks when they ate together, and complained about Sui Qingchi in front of them, "I thought I got a good hand by following Tang Du." , I didn’t expect that it’s all in the hands of the Second Heavenly King.” Even if he said this, no one agreed on the spot, so he pretended not to hear it and buried himself in his own food.
Maybe he was born with bad luck, his mother died and his father died since he was a child, he has become accustomed to bad luck. He didn't have any complaints against Sui Qingchi. It seemed that his quota was picked up, so it didn't matter. After singing the last song, let's go fuck it.
The next day, Wu Xiao liked the Weibo that praised Tang Du's dedication. Zhong Dao was not surprised at all, he had this temper, but what was surprising was that besides Wu Xiao, he was the worst besieged. To be honest , he was also very unhappy and irritable, but he didn't have that much time to pay attention to the scolding battles on the Internet. Right now he has to get over this first, and if he can't get over it, it won't be too late to go back when the time comes.
Fortunately, their group didn't get the first group to play PK in the lottery, otherwise he should have been eliminated by now, but depending on the situation, it will be a matter of time before he is eliminated, but it's just a wait.
I don't know if the four students under Sui Qingchi will all be eliminated in the end. The scene is ugly to think about. He really doesn't understand Sui Qingchi. Even if it's not for them, even if it's for his own face, isn't it? Should I put my strength at least not to lose so ugly
Why did he take over this show
He is really the king of middle school...
Well, he had to admit, what was on his mind was fuck it all, but that thing in his chest seemed to be refusing to agree.
After all, it was hard to come to this step, and it was the old man AK who forced him to go to this step. For the first time in his life, he felt that there was still a weight behind him, and he was not alone, starting out with light clothes.
In fact, I didn’t expect Fu Cuo to help him. He said it was AK’s request. Let’s just believe him, but this buddy is really awesome. He thinks that he will not lose to any mentor in the program group. This is what he wants. Compared with the original version, "Beautiful" is stronger and wilder. Perhaps this kind of adaptation can only be done by Fu Cuo, because he is a rock person, and the offline tutor and the director teacher are just musicians, and they are basically two different types of work.
This is his favorite song among Sui Qingchi's songs, but when he first heard it on his fourth album, he didn't immediately like it. After listening to Sui Qingchi's live version several times, he felt But it has become wonderful. This song is like a nineteen-year-old girl. Under Sui Qingchi's interpretation again and again, there are countless possibilities. No matter how innocent she is, she can be a little girl on a swing, no matter how sweet A little bit, she can be every boy's first dream love, a bit more wild, she is a fallen angel with vines tattooed on her neck, a bit more sexy, she is Venus born in the sea... Even though the arrangement didn't move much However, Sui Qingchi was able to give this song a myriad of appearances just by singing. Later, he realized that something was wrong. The song had infinite possibilities. From the song to the lyrics, it seemed to be writing a chaotic and dreamy artistic conception. Maybe the creator himself didn't know what "beauty" was. Water or fire, he seemed to have peeped into it at a certain moment, and wrote them all in with a vague understanding.
Sui Qingchi was only the first to dig them out.
But it's also amazing. Although he doesn't admit it, he is convinced in his heart. It turns out that there are still people who can sing like this. It seems that every time he sings, it is different. You can't hear two songs from him. s song.
It wasn't until recently that he realized that this song was actually written by Fu Cuo. His name was clearly written in the position of composer, lyricist and arranger in the lyrics book. Only Sui Qingchi sang and harmonized. He didn't pay much attention to these before. They also listen to songs on the Internet. The online copyright of this song is exclusively bought out by Cloud Music. He has read the lyrics, but the lyrics are just pure lyrics, without any information about the songwriter. After participating in the competition, he bought a CD online, and then he accidentally found the songwriter in the lyrics book. It was still in the middle of the night, and he was really a little excited, and felt that the way he offended Fu Cuo was very stupid.
Fu Cuo's newly edited version conforms to his imagination in every way. He obviously hasn't told Fu Cuo about the arrangement he imagined, but Fu Cuo should have guessed that he wants I want a more rocky version of "Beautiful".
The electric guitar in the arrangement is very nice, with a seemingly rough but hidden tenderness, but unfortunately it is only a synthetic sound effect. He turned his head to look at the door, what would this electric guitar look like if he played it himself...
When Fu Cuo returned to the room, there was no one in the room. There was a note under the notebook. He picked it up and scanned it, and suddenly his eyes were slapped. Zhong Dao's handwriting was really ugly...
Although he looks like Sui Qingchi, he has nothing to do with Sui Qingchi after all, so you can't expect him to write like him.
The main idea of the message is that I like the song very much, and I have copied it. I will try to use this version of the arranger after communicating with the music director. The arranger will write his name, because I see that he is busy, so I don’t bother bbb.
Fu Cuo looked at the last sentence of the message, "Thank you, brother Fu Cuo", and stroked the goose bumps on his arms.
