Chapter 45: Single Flash Bass Day
The same is true for playing musical instruments. Everything can be achieved by relationships and background, but if you want to continue in the long run, you can only rely on hard work and practice.
……………………………………………………………………
If you really know how to read the mind, let the instructor directly choose the items written on the paper, and don’t say it out. You guessed it through "reading the mind". Why do you have to use dice indirectly?
This is the problem, because the dice is used as a mechanism, and the performer can receive a prompt which side is facing up. The performer prepared six cards in advance, and the six items on each one are the same, but in different orders.
The next step is simple, for example, he wants to perform egg tarts. The two words egg tarts on six cards correspond to six different numbers. As long as you know the number on the top of the dice, you can draw out the corresponding card.
If the performer does not use dice, but lets the instructor remember a certain item in his heart, he will never "read" it in his life.
As for the city, it is even simpler. When a post-80s were young, they played two-sided books, and at that time they cost about 2 cents each. The book was printed on both sides, and the length of each page was slightly different. Using the principle of human visual inertia, they opened randomly in different directions, and of course the text or pictures displayed were different.
Lin Bin said to Yang Mi again: "As for the notes you and Teacher Cai to draw, it is even simpler. The box has a mezzanine, and the random notes are always below. The above are prepared by the performer themselves, so you can only draw the results he wants. So I'm sure you are not a child care provider, but are just being used.
I oppose the reveal of magic, but I even more oppose magic practitioners insulting this industry. Magic is magic, so why do we have to make some mysterious statements? It insults the mind reading technique, but also shames us magic itself.
I performed magic, and I told everyone that it was fake, but I wouldn't reveal the secret, so I let the audience guess it by themselves. It's so fun. What you performed was magic, or very low-level props, magic props were also divided into high-level and low-level, but they had to pretend to be high-end, and they insisted on saying it was mind reading. Since it was mind reading, I wasn't afraid that others would reveal the secret, right?
But after the secret of your low-level magic performance, no one will sigh at the exquisiteness of your design, but will slap your own face..."
After a burst of applause, Lin Bin bowed and stepped down. Wang Xiaomao walked onto the stage and invited the second performer. Lu Yuchi, who was sitting in the monitoring room of the director team, was surprised to see the second performer.
The performer was carrying an electric bass on his back, and he was Lu Yuchi's brother-in-law Long Zhongyou.
"Oh, this is your brother-in-law." Han Shiqi said to Lu Yuchi.
"Do you know me?" Lu Yuchi asked back.
"Did you forget? Last time you 'catched the adulterer' in the teahouse at Xiaomao'..."
"Oh, yes. Why is he here? It's not appropriate to show up in public."
"Isn't it just your brother-in-law? You've shown up in public. Why can't he do it? Can he have more money than you?"
"Don't you know? Haha, among his many identities, the lowest one is my brother-in-law. He is the son of the richest man in Tianjin and the nephew of Yang Guangzhao who sponsored us 100 million yuan. Of course he is richer than me."
"ah?!"
Wang Xiaomao stood on the stage and asked Long Zhongyou to introduce himself first.
"Hello everyone, my name is Xiaozhong. I am in my thirties. I won't mention it specifically. I am from Tianjin."
"Depending on your attitude, do you want to play bass?"
Long Zhongyou didn't say anything, just nodded. Wang Xiaomao asked him to write the truth he wanted to say the most. After writing it, Long Zhongyou started the performance.
It doesn't matter at the beginning. Wang Xiaomao, who has always been arrogant, can't even close his mouth.
As mentioned in the previous article, Wang Xiaomao, Lu Yuchi and Han Shiqi formed a band in high school, and Wang Xiaomao could play guitar. Although his level of playing the piano is not very good, he also knows the characteristics of an instrument such as electric bass.
Electric bass is an instrument that combines rhythm, harmony and melody, which plays a soul role in the band. This is a bit empty. Specifically, it is to use the "root sound", match the harmony, play riffs, or occasionally play another bassline independent of the main rhythm, thus connecting and fusion of the drums, guitars, keyboards and other instruments in the band to help various instruments form a whole accompaniment.
Although the role of electric bass in electroacoustic bands is very important, the bass part is not easily detected by non-professional listeners. It is precisely because it connects various instruments that it rarely plays solo things.
Beyond, which we are familiar with, has a classic song "Cold Rainy Night", which includes an electric bass solo, which is very artistic. But this so-called solo is made of drums and guitar and keyboard in the band.
If a bassist does not cooperate with other instruments and truly plays solo alone, he will definitely need a strong level of playing to conquer the audience. Therefore, Wang Xiaomao has admired him when Long Zhongyou comes on stage alone and does not cooperate with other musicians. But Long Zhongyou has only played with one left hand so far.
Electric bass is a plucking instrument. What is a plucking instrument? Specifically for electric bass, it means holding the high notes with your left hand, plucking the strings with your right hand, making a sound (left-handed person also said, here only talks about most bass players).
Especially when playing solo, bassists usually use a unique technique of electric bass to hit the slap string to fully reflect the rhythmic beauty of electric bass. This technique, whether it is the "hit" of the thumb or the "hit" of the index finger, is operated with the right hand.
It can be imagined that the right hand is important for electric bass playing. However, Long Zhongyou only uses his left hand, so he can only use the amazing finger force of his left hand to hit the strings on the "fresh" to make a sound. Even if he occasionally uses his left hand to specify the pitch and then uses his left middle finger or ring finger to pluck the strings, because the arm is too short, the requirements for finger force and flexibility are really strict.
So when Wang Xiaomao saw this, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. He didn't understand why Long Zhongyou had his hands intact, so why did he do this? Is it just to show off his skills?
After Long Zhongyou played a song, he only used his left hand throughout the whole process, but he played a very good effect. Not only did the audience applause thunderously after the end, but it also caused constant cheers during the process.
Wang Xiaomao clapped and walked onto the stage and said to Long Zhong: "As the host, I shouldn't speak much, but as a person who can play musical instruments, I must admire you! Do you have anything to say to our judges and audiences? As long as you don't sell miserable things."
"Actually, to be honest, I'm not miserable. When I come to participate in this program, I should tell you frankly that I have a 'background'. I don't hide this matter, nor can I hide it. I believe that many people will know me."
As soon as Long Zhongyou said this, the three judges whispered to each other, discussing what background Long Zhongyou had and why many people knew him.
Long Zhongyou also said: "If you are interested in these things, you can talk about them later according to the rules of our program. I just want to say that the performance just now can be regarded as a show of skills, but it is not. I just want some friends to see that I am still practicing the piano."
Wang Xiaomao took the words of Long Zhongyou and said, "Okay, let's ask the three judges to guess first. Through Long Zhongyou's performance just now, what do you think the truth he is going to tell today will be."
"How do you guess this? He said too little." Yang Mi said.
Huang Dajin and Guo Xiaotie also nodded to Yang Mi and looked helpless at Wang Xiaomao.
Wang Xiaomao asked Long Zhongyou again: "Do you really don't want to add anything?"
If it were other contestants, Wang Xiaomao would not ask too much, but he really admired Long Zhongyou's performance just now, so he couldn't help but be a little biased towards Long Zhongyou.
Long Zhongyou laughed and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I really have nothing to say before the judgment. To be honest, I don't care much about the result. I just said that today I just hope some friends can see me through this show and know that I am still practicing the piano."
Wang Xiaomao nodded and said to the judges: "Please give the judgment result."
The results given by the three judges are true, because Long Zhongyou admitted frankly that he had a background and took the initiative to say that his performance could be regarded as a show-off.
As a result, Huang Dajin hurriedly asked Long Zhongyou: "You just said that you have a background, and I'm very interested in knowing what it is."
"I'm not trying to show off anything, but I also know that my face often appears in financial magazines and news. I don't want to mention my own family background, but I am the brother-in-law of Lu Yuchi, the producer of this program. This matter will definitely be dug out, so there will definitely be people saying that I rely on my relationship and background. I don't care, but I'm just pitiful Lu Yuchi. He doesn't know about me coming to participate in this program."
Guo Xiaotie asked: "What is your 'big truth'?"
Long Zhongyou held up the sign written before the performance, which read: Playing musical instruments is the same as doing things. You can make shortcuts based on relationships and backgrounds, but if you want to go on for a long time, you can only rely on hard work and practice.
After a burst of applause, Huang Dajin said again: "You didn't want to say more just now, so now you can tell me the real purpose of your coming to our program, right?"
Long Zhongyou smiled, but said sadly in his eyes: "I chose this kind of playing method as today's performance because many years ago I watched a video of a bass hand playing a bass hand that lost his right arm. At that time, I told the members of my band that if one hand can play like that, what right do we have to not practice the piano well?
However, a few years later, we all went our separate ways. Some people worked, some were doing business, and everyone even broke off contact. I know that some of them were still practicing piano and playing music. They must also know what I am now, but they didn't contact me. I think they think I am already a businessman full of stinking money.
I came to participate in this show and did not tell Lu Yuchi. Firstly, it was because I didn’t need to get anything through him, and secondly, I was not interested in what rankings. I just wanted to use this show, tell them to contact me if my teammates could see it. I am a businessman, but I am still practicing piano, so we can still play together."
After another thunderous applause, Wang Xiaomao also said to Long Zhongyou and everyone present: "Indeed, some friends have no conflicts, but they are gradually drifting away. I believe that the audience has experienced this feeling more or less. We need a channel and an opportunity to contact each other again, because friendship is priceless."
Yang Mi asked Long Zhongyou again: "I don't understand musical instruments, but I can also see your superb performance. I want to ask, besides playing musical instruments, do you also sing?"
Long Zhongyou nodded and said, "It's okay. Actually, in this occasion, I have a song that suits me very well in contact with what I want to say. If the director allows me, I can sing it."
Just now, Lu Yuchi and Han Shiqi introduced Long Zhongyou's family background, and Director Zhao also listened. Not to mention Lu Yuchi's relationship, even if he didn't rely solely on his family background, Director Zhao would of course allow Long Zhongyou to give more time to perform.
