Chapter 49 Fascinated by the Dark Night
"If I had known this, why would I start...I am still the same..."
"Oh~~~~~~"
At the end of the song, Lu Yao didn't even have to open his mouth to sing. The girls at the front table cheered instead of "I".
“Sounds good~”
"One more song~"
“It sounds good~~~”
It was as if they were hired by Lu Yao with money. There were only three of them, but they were very supportive.
"Thank you."
Lu Yao thanked him again, and at this time, sparse applause also sounded at the same time.
"You, my classmate, can do it..."
Wang Tianshu looked at his cousin who was holding up a new IPHONE at some point and praised him sincerely.
Wei Qianqian also nodded:
"He plays the guitar very well."
"There must be many girls in school who like him, right?"
"..."
Wei Qianqian's mouth twitched.
He rolled his eyes at his older cousin angrily.
Then he pursed his lips.
No.
It's quite a few.
Quite a lot.
However, his halo as a top student is too dazzling. Unless he takes the initiative, who can bear the responsibility of delaying his studies?
That was first in the class...
Oh no, now I should be said to be number one in the third year of high school, and even number one in the devil city.
At this time, the sweeping melody from the opening scene sounded again.
In fact, guitar is one of Lu Yao's pastimes.
As Ms. Chen said, my father "cheated" my mother into playing guitar.
When he and Lu Qing were young, Lu Yuanshan would always play a song for his son and daughter whenever he came back from his car.
Therefore, his guitar can be said to be "home-taught".
While growing up, I signed up for guitar classes in a formal way.
In addition to the past life and the next life... If you really want to calculate it, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has played for "ten or twenty years".
Although his skills are not top-notch, practice makes perfect and has become instinctive.
At this moment, seeing Hu Li still maintaining that posture, he guessed that the sister had not heard enough.
In fact, he didn’t sing enough.
Who told him to just earn 180,000 yuan?
Unfortunately...the principal cannot be refunded if you win the lottery.
Otherwise, you will earn more.
But at this moment he really needed a channel to vent his emotions.
And this song "Original Me" obviously does not reach that level.
So, he thought for a while and continued the prelude to Chen Chusheng's "Girl" that he had just scanned.
In his previous life, Chen Chusheng's songs were his must-select whenever he was drunk or at a KTV party with friends.
There is no other reason. His voice is so similar to that of the singer. Moreover, Lu Yao is taller than his KEY and has a wider vocal range.
When he sings these songs, he always receives compliments from countless colleagues or girls he has an affair with, which can be regarded as one of his trump cards.
Then, a flamenco melody sounded.
He deliberately made his voice more metallic.
The flamenco section before "Girl" is so classic.
He has been playing for more than ten years.
It’s as ripe as it gets.
But in the ears of the audience, this natural and cheerful melody represents the guitarist's skills.
Even Hu Li, who didn't change his posture, had a look of surprise in his eyes.
But immediately she narrowed her eyes and whispered:
"hola, Flamenco."
An expert in multiple dances, she apparently also dances flamenco.
There are even dancing steps that follow this melody in my mind.
"How many times have I dreamed of you, girl~"...
Her ears twitched.
Compared with the clear, clean and gentle voice of the boy just now, this time the singing has a lot more metallic flavor.
Inexplicably, a smile appeared on her lips.
In my mind, the girl wearing a red dress and red high heels stepped into the center of the dance floor with a rose in her mouth and a proud posture.
The skirt corners fly.
Rotate.
Like a passionate rose.
Others admire its rich fragrance and delicate beauty.
But when I try to pick one, I always get burned by its thorns.
But...
The signs of the corners of her mouth rising became more and more obvious.
This rose,
Blooming in the dark night.
"Your Majesty, let my brother join me as a part-time singer for the summer vacation. He can sing very well."
Brother Yu said while serving the wine.
Hu Li ignored him.
Not even a glance.
Instead, he concentrated on looking at the boy playing the guitar and singing on the stage.
The eyes are like lotus root knots.
Open and close to fold.
Fascinating eyes.
……
After singing "Girl", the excitement in Lu Yao's heart subsided a little.
Amidst the applause of those girls who were particularly supportive, he had already taken off his guitar and was about to leave, but he glanced in Hu Li's direction and suddenly made a move.
Because he found...Hai Hou was still in the same position just now, motionless.
This is... still want to listen to it?
Wouldn't it be nice for you to clap along with the others?
But looking at her motionless look, Lu Yao thought for a while and took off the guitar.
When he put the guitar back in its place, the girls thought he was about to end and shouted:
"One more song!"
"Encore Encore!"
Lu Yao picked up the electric guitar.
It was like responding to them.
Then, several girls applauded and cheered with joy again.
After slinging the electric guitar on his shoulder, he turned his head and glanced at the band members standing next to the stage, and politely pointed in the direction of the drum set.
It means getting them on the field. These people also saw Lu Yao holding an electric guitar.
Unlike folk songs, electric guitars definitely work better with a band.
So they all came on stage.
I just don’t know what Lu Yao wants to sing.
At this time, everyone saw him taking out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it for himself.
To be honest, it's quite awkward... After all, the boy who was so clean just now actually lit up a cigarette that didn't match his temperament.
But Lu Yao is not a smoker.
But he needs some "skill" assistance.
After lighting the cigarette, he took a hard sip, and then said "Hey, hey, hey" into the microphone while puffing out the smoke.
Wei Qianqian, who was surprised by Lu Yao's boldness just now, immediately noticed the difference.
His voice... was much richer and hoarse than before.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
No longer clear.
It's the effect of smoke.
The girl with excellent musical literacy judged it immediately.
The smoke added more "bubbles" to his voice and made him hoarse.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yao played a soothing melody. After trying the tone, he said to the guy sitting on the drum set behind him:
"After 4 sentences, 2/4."
He was talking about the beat of the drum set.
The guy understood instantly and nodded.
Just listen to Lu Yao's guitar sweep, and along with the somewhat melancholy melody of the electric guitar, he sings:
"The past, the present, the past will never come again..."
A not particularly standard Cantonese rhythm sounded.
"The Love of a Lifetime". (Note 1)
His voice became extremely hoarse because of the cigarette.
With obvious melancholy and a touch of sadness, he continued to sing:
"Red, fallen leaves, often buried in dust."
At this moment, the light also changed to blue as the base, with dark red tones.
"The beginning and the end are always the same, unchanged."
"You are wandering in the sky, beyond the white clouds..."
The melody of the electric guitar sounded at the right time, and at the same time, there was the slow and gentle sound of the drum kit.
And with the drum set acting as a metronome, the bass who found the beat also joined in by playing the bottom strings.
All of a sudden, this makeshift band came together.
It wasn't even rehearsed.
But the bassist keeps the bottom rhythm, and the drummer also clearly gets the beat. As a professional at the live scene, it is naturally not difficult.
Different from the original version, Lu Yao's version is slower.
And after adding the sound of the drum set, this version is different from the original version, and this version seems "better to sing".
Not to mention, through the running-in of the two songs, the lighting engineer also knew when to use what kind of lights.
As a result, the whole performance suddenly became silky smooth.
Mainly based on guitar, the boy's artificially "carved" hoarse voice is exactly the same as the temperament of this song.
When the drum kit started playing, he started to solo with his guitar.
His solo approach is very American.
It mainly relies on single strings, and the structure is not complicated, but it complements the song perfectly at this moment.
At this moment, the drumbeat of appropriate benefits.
Find the right light.
It is integrated with the white guitar in the boy's hand.
The perfect match was the cigarette in his hand.
The smoke curled up and lingered around the body.
Under the light, with the Bill Gates effect, the smoke turns the light into the shape of a boy.
"The past, the present, the past will never come again..."
The boy sang the beginning of the verse again.
And this time, it comes with a chorus.
"Sea of Bitterness~~~"
"Turning over love and hate..."
"In time~"
"It's hard to escape fate..."
In his version of "The Love of My Life", the ending notes of each line were specially sung. Coupled with the richness and hoarseness of the voice, it conceals the flaw that the original version was sung by ordinary people and made the voice appear particularly thin.
It becomes very nice and melodious.
When the chorus sounded, Lu Yao had already seen several tables in front of him on the stage. Some of the older brothers who had been unresponsive just now were already swaying to the beat of the drum set.
Even the chorus is sung with him.
Obviously, Lu Yao can sing, and this song is suitable for them to sing.
And when the first chorus ended, the pickups were switched. Then start SOLO again.
All of a sudden, the electric guitar style of the entire song became light rock.
For the sake of the accuracy of the chords, he held the cigarette he had always held in his hand in the corner of his mouth.
The whole person's temperament changed again.
From a boy carrying a guitar in pursuit of poetry and distant places, he turned into an American rock and roll youth with a bit of rebelliousness and melancholy.
While vibrato, he had closed his eyes.
His temperament is like that of a guitar master, playing wildly and casually on the stage.
All the women present were dazzled.
It was like a glass of transparent liquid placed in front of them.
I thought it was water and took a sip.
Clear and sweet.
But when the boy started his solo on the stage with an electric guitar, it was like they noticed the difference in the liquid in their mouths.
Confused, he put down the cup and lit it with a lighter.
With a "boom", fierce flames burst out from the rock melody of the guitar and the hoarse smoke voice.
Let this glass of water become flammable.
The internal organs of a person with a fever feel a slight sting.
But the stinging pain was accompanied by the same incomparable pleasure.
It makes people... become more and more fascinated in the dark night.
"Overturning the sea...overturning love and hate..."
"That's it~ Lan Yue has lost his life."
"Cang~ Jingba Kuo~ Take over."
"Or should I, believe, be fate."
Hu Li squinted her eyes and hummed along softly in non-standard Cantonese.
revel.
In the end, like everyone else, I was deeply addicted to the boy's closing silky rock SOLO melody.
Can't help myself.
(Note 1: The book version of "The Love of My Life" is the big-headed version of singer: GS. I think this version is pretty good.)
