Chapter 84 Real Band Rehearsal
Looking at a group of rough and unkempt men, listening to the sound of squeaking and squeaking, and smelling a strong smell of stinky feet... So the real rehearsal room is definitely not the same as the one on TV.
.
……………………
Lu Yuchi hoped that Yang Mi could go to Tianjin if he was free. He thought that Yang Mi might be able to help persuade Wang Xiaomao to agree to establish that department.
In fact, it's not persuasion. Yang Mi definitely can't persuade Wang Xiaomao, but she can influence Wang Xiaomao in a subtle way.
"How to be subtle?"
"For example, don't mention that I want to set up this department. You can just find a topic and bring it to the public relations teams of celebrities like you. When you post on Weibo or something, don't you have a dedicated team to plan it? You secretly let Mao Mao
I understand the power of a team. Of course, if you don’t have time, forget it.”
"I do! Uh-" Seeing Wan Qianqian looking at him, Yang Mi added, "This is all for this drama and program. I must make time for it. But I just don't know if Brother Mao is willing.
If you are willing to see me, didn’t he say that he would write in seclusion that day?”
"Just because he is in seclusion, how depressing is it for a person to write? You just say you care about him and you go, how can he still throw it out to you? This depressed man says he doesn't like others to bother him, but in his heart
I wish I could..."
…
In fact, Wang Xiaomao's creative progress is slow. He is really suffering, but he is not bored.
He was currently in Long Zhongyou's rehearsal room, watching Han Shiqi and Long Zhongyou write songs and rehearse together.
In the past two days when there was no one to disturb him, Wang Xiaomao did some writing on the planning project, but the progress of the script was still slow. The progress was slow, but his brain was so burned that he couldn't even think about writing the novel. He wanted to find someone to talk to.
, but he doesn’t even know his neighbors on the same floor.
This is not the reason for his arrogance. Over the years, he has been running a cigarette shop in Hexi District and lives in the shop all year round. There are many business people and residents on the street there, and they have become friends with him. They usually eat and drink.
The divided kind.
But the houses there are too expensive. He bought a house in Hedong District a few years ago. But he has never been here much. When he came, he would retreat to write. How did he know his neighbors?
In fact, it was only two days ago, but he couldn't hold on anymore last night. Late at night, he remembered that there was a snack street nearby, so he went to eat something alone, and happened to meet Han Shiqi and Han Shiqi who were eating, drinking, chatting and laughing.
Several people.
Those people were naturally Long Zhongyou and his two classmates, so Wang Xiaomao was invited and ate with them.
It doesn't matter what he eats. Wang Mao Mao discovers that Long Zhongyou is a very talented and thoughtful person. He does not envy rich people, but he is always willing to communicate more with talented people.
After the exchange, he found out that Han Shiqi had been hanging out with Long Zhongyou and the others recently, writing songs, rehearsing, drinking, and messing around - so happy. So today he came here to watch and listen to their rehearsals.
Listen to the songs they wrote for the TV series.
People who have never seen a band rehearse may not be able to imagine what kind of environment it is like. We are often misled by TV dramas and think that we can listen to beautiful music up close in the rehearsal room and feel the excitement of everyone at the scene.
The visual impact of playing with a very handsome posture.
But in fact, in the rehearsal room, the band rarely plays a song in full, especially during the creation and arrangement process. It often plays, plays, and then stops with a squeak.
Even those world-famous bands, after countless rehearsals, cannot make any mistakes at many concerts when playing live. Of course, they will not stop even if they make mistakes during the live performance.
, basically fooled it.
What is rehearsal for? The musicians are familiar with the feeling of their own parts in the whole song, and deepen the tacit understanding of the ensemble with other musicians. At the same time, this is also a process of discovering problems and triggering inspiration.
What's the meaning?
After arranging a part, you may feel that it is not suitable until you perform it as a whole, so you have to stop and discuss it. Sometimes during the ensemble, you may suddenly come up with something outstanding that you want to add. If the band is performing live
, this is an improvisation, but during the arrangement and rehearsal process, the band members will stop and discuss whether it is appropriate to add this section.
And these sudden stops do not include the musicians' performance errors. As mentioned earlier, rehearsal is also a familiarization process, and after familiarization, errors may occur during live performance, let alone during the rehearsal process.
Moreover, people who don’t play in a band and don’t know how to play an instrument will have a headache when they enter the rehearsal room, even if the band plays a complete song, because the sound of the drums will be very loud.
Needless to say, the finished CD is the most perfect overall display of sound effects. And the audience watching the live performance will hear the most reasonable volume ratio of each part and each instrument after being tuned.
In both cases, each drum and cymbal is facing a microphone. After the sound collected by these microphones is transmitted to the speakers, the volume of the drums can be adjusted. However, the drums in the rehearsal room sound directly, so people who are not used to it
It's really unbearable to hear.
Besides the atmosphere and visual effects, the rehearsal room and the stage are two different things. The musicians don’t care about looking cool during the rehearsal process like they do on TV. Moreover, after spending several days in the rehearsal room, most of the musicians are men.
Not to mention beard and hairstyle, I often take them off when it gets hot.
You said that looking at such a group of rough men who are almost savages, listening to the squeaking and squeaking sounds that come and go, and smelling a strong smell of smelly feet...it's really not like what you see on TV
thing.
So after talking for a long time, does King Mao Mao also get a headache after listening, watching, and smelling?
No.
Not only did it not hurt, I actually enjoyed it, and I was even more inspired to write a book.
He was also a musician before, although his level was not high and he played campus folk songs without such distorted electronic sounds and strong drum beats, but he had also seen this kind of rehearsal.
Moreover, he watched Han Shiqi and the others discussing while playing, sometimes having serious discussions, sometimes chatting and laughing. He felt that it was very interesting to experience the feeling of everyone creating together.
Music has been a thing for him for more than ten years. In the past ten years, he has been writing novels independently. He seems to have forgotten the feeling of collaboration.
Although sitting here and listening to Han Shiqi's performance is not a true collaboration, what they discussed, created, and performed was the same thing as their own script.
Moreover, they were both in this twenty-plus-square-meter living room, and they would sometimes talk to themselves and discuss things. He suddenly felt that creation did not necessarily have to be independent and quiet. There were people to chat with and others to make noises.
It seems to feel pretty good too.
In just one afternoon, in such a busy environment, he actually wrote more than he had in the previous two days.
But now he had to stop, because he received a call from his cousin, who was looking after the store for him, saying that a woman had arrived at the store and was waiting for him and wanted to see him.
He guessed that it must be Yang Mi. He had taken Yang Mi to his cigarette shop once before. But he felt strange, why did Yang Mi go there? Why didn't she just call him directly?
