Chapter 683 The appeal of music(1/2)
The ninth issue of "Spring of the Band" came to an end soon.
Not surprisingly, Dongyu Band won 375 votes from the live audience with the song "Boundless Sea and Sky".
The second place is "Wild Power", a song by the Crazy Leopards that praises nature and life.
The third place is the funny song "What Are You Doing" by Secondhand Peony Band.
Their votes were also very high, but none of them exceeded the 70% of Dongyu Band.
Therefore, Jiang Kan and Lao Zhou naturally won the championship of the first variety show "Spring of the Band".
The champion of this event will receive a super concert sponsored by Chengdu TV Station, where a band concert of 50,000 people will be held at a stadium in this city.
This time is set at the end of this year, probably in late December.
Although the time was a little late, Jiang Kan and others didn't really care.
Because Jiang Kan does not lack this concert, he can also build his reputation.
The Dongyu Band is well-known to audiences across the country. Before the competition ended, they received invitations from many cities across the country inviting them to perform.
The song "Broader Sea and Sky" quickly broke into thousands of households through this program and became the most widely circulated song in recent times.
There are young people and even middle-aged people humming this song inadvertently in the streets and alleys.
The biggest audience for this song is middle school students.
The popular broadcast of "Spring of the Band" across the country was exactly what the organizers expected, setting off a wave of band formation across the country.
In particular, young and energetic middle school students have pestered their parents to buy guitars for themselves, and then study hard at home.
In the past, the competition of who can play the game well, who has more pocket money, whose girlfriend and boyfriend are prettier, has become who can play the guitar better, who can play the drums, who can sing the best, and who can sing the best.
dances best.
Some young boys and girls have even started to form their own bands in a very "fashionable" way, and hide in secret bases to practice after school.
For a time, young people's circles were showing photos and videos of themselves playing musical instruments and playing in bands.
Some young people even began to write their own songs.
Although their songs are written very immaturely and crudely, they are sung with great devotion and passion, making themselves entertained and intoxicated.
These scenes remind people of the heyday of bands twenty or thirty years ago, when young people were so obsessed with music and musical instruments.
At the same time, because of the songs Jiang Kan composed in this program, such as "Blue Lotus", "Really Love You" and "Broad Sea and Sky", he gained a group of young die-hard fans.
On university campuses, many college students who were inspired by Jiang Kan began to regard Jiang Kan as their music idol and began to form their own bands.
Huang Shuai is a junior student who is not usually very eye-catching. He is 21 years old this year.
His grades are very average, his appearance is very average, his dress is also very average, and he hardly participates in any sports activities on the flight.
Moreover, he is usually not good at talking and doesn't have many friends. He is used to going to class alone, going back to the dormitory alone, and going to the library alone.
Everyone was used to the existence of such a transparent person around them, and they only called him a few times when there were activities at the beginning.
But he didn't go, so no one called him anymore.
But on this day, Huang Shuai had just finished studying in the study room, and on his way back to the dormitory, he was quickly surrounded by two classmates, with fawning looks on their faces.
"Hey, Huang Shuai, are you ready for self-study? Should you go back to the dormitory or go to the cafeteria?"
One of the boys handed him a bottle of drink and asked flatteringly.
Huang Shuai was a little dazed by this sudden favor. He glanced at the drink suspiciously, and then at the unnatural smile on the boy's face.
"What, what's wrong with you?"
he asked curiously.
Normally no one would take the initiative to please him, so he felt very unfamiliar and surprised.
"Hey, that's it, that one..."
The boy was a little embarrassed and scratched the back of his head with his hand.
Another boy next to him picked up what he said:
"Actually, it's like this, Huang Shuai, you performed guitar playing when you were a freshman, right? We recently wanted to form a band and needed to find someone who was good at playing guitar to teach us. The first thing we thought of was
about you!"
"Yes, yes, we were the first to think of you! The song "Spring Story" you played at that time was really amazing. We still remember it now that we are juniors!"
The boy who handed him the water also nodded hurriedly.
"So that's it, you want to learn guitar?"
Huang Shuai suddenly understood and nodded and asked.
Indeed, he has been practicing guitar since he was a child, imitating his father, and also learned the drums from his grandfather. It can be said that he is a music expert who is very proficient in musical instruments.
But because of my introverted personality, I don’t really like getting along with other people. I’m used to living alone, so I just entertain myself and have never thought about forming a band with others.
Unexpectedly, they would come to me this time and ask me to teach them guitar?
So should I agree or not?
After all, they are all classmates, and their relationship with each other is actually quite good as they usually don't see each other without looking up.
"Hey, Huang Shuai, classmate Huang, Teacher Huang! Just agree! This time we will form a band to participate in next year's school band competition!"
"Yes, Teacher Huang, if you teach us guitar, we will all be grateful to you! Otherwise, there are still two months left in this semester, and we will cover your lunch and dinner for you in these two months. As our
What do you think about the tuition fees?"
Another classmate saw that Huang Shuai's expression seemed to be a little strange, so he increased the weight.
"Okay, then, we are all classmates, so there is no need to mention dinner, lunch, etc. I will just teach you. But to what extent do you want to learn?"
The conditions at Huang Shuai's family have always been very good, so he actually didn't fancy these two meals.
But now he has an opportunity to communicate with his classmates, which is a good starting point.
After all, they were all classmates, and he didn't actually mean to alienate anyone, he just didn't know how to open his mouth to mingle with them.
"Hey, thank you very much, Teacher Huang. We actually want to learn those two songs "Really Love You" and "Broad Sea and Sky". Have you heard of Jiang Kan's new song?"
"'Really Love You' and 'Broad Sky'? Are you talking about the two songs that Uncle Kan played in the last episode of the band's spring?"
When talking about this Huang Shuai, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He doesn't usually have many hobbies, but listening to music can be regarded as the most important one among them.
He also likes Jiang Kan very much and has already become Uncle Kan's die-hard fan.
It turned out that these two classmates found him because they wanted to learn how to play these two songs, so he had to help them!
"The song "Boundless Sea and Sky" is really difficult for you to play, but the guitar aspect of the song "Really Love You" is not that difficult. You can try it as your goal."
Once he talked about the things he was good at, Huang Shuai was no longer as dull as before, and he spoke clearly and clearly.
"Really? I think the intro and outro of "Boundless Sea and Sky" are really nice..."
The male classmate next to him felt very sorry and spread his hands and said.
"Haha, as long as you study hard and study hard, you will definitely be able to play it one day. However, the accompaniment of this song is really difficult. It is better for you to start with "Really Love You"."
"And you are going to form a band, right? If you want to form a band, you can't just have a guitar. You also have to have a drum set, a bass, and a keyboard. Which one of you can play the drums? Or who can play the bass and keyboard?"
Once his interest is piqued, Huang Shuai talks eloquently.
While walking towards the dormitory with two classmates, I asked them about their preparations.
"We know that forming a band with only guitars is not enough, but isn't it just the beginning? As long as you, Teacher Huang, join in, we will have the confidence to recruit other students to form this band!"
The male classmate who handed him the water said proudly.
"Oh, it turns out you had this idea. It reminds me of the story about the son-in-law of the richest man and the executive of a famous company..."
Huang Shuai chuckled, knowing what the other party was up to, but it didn't matter to him. Forming a band was not a particularly serious matter anyway. Most of the time, bands were put together by one or two people.
After returning to the dormitory, the two people didn't bother to have dinner, so they took the guitar they just bought and handed it into Huang Shuai's hands.
"This is a classical guitar, so it's not very suitable for playing folk songs... But it doesn't matter, you can play it. Hobby is priceless."
As he spoke, Huang Shuai took the guitar, put it in his arms, and pulled a chair over to sit down.
He adjusted his mental state to concentrate, then pressed the strings with his left hand and held down the C chord.
With his right hand, he held it lightly and used his thumb to snap the fifth string.
Then he used his middle finger, ring finger and little finger to pluck the third, second and first strings respectively.
In an instant, the guitar melody corresponding to the first line of "Really Love You" played.
"Wow!"
The two classmates were watching his skillful fingering and listening to the crisp music coming from the guitar case. They felt as if their eardrums had been lightly hit by something, and there was a sense of comfort.
The feeling rushed up from their feet to their foreheads, making them feel extremely comfortable.
Then Huang Shuai quickly changed his fingering, placed his left hand on the G chord, and plucked the sixth, third, second, and first strings with his right hand.
