Chapter 444 Warm-up(1/2)

Although Li Danyang and others did not want to coax or urge, they seemed to be a little encouraging.

Yang Jingxing looked a little guilty, so he invited Qingnuo to join him: "You sing, and I'll accompany you."

Qi Qingnuo smiled a little gloatingly, shook his head and waved: "Master, please."

Cheng Yaoyao was kind to Yang Jingxing: "Let me cooperate with you."

Yang Jingxing was afraid again: "Ah, I will be nervous."

Qidawei said: "Yao Yao is a guest, you can go and play a solo."

Yang Jingxing stood up and looked at Qi Qingnuo happily: "I'm not a guest anymore."

Gan Kaicheng laughed hahaha, Zhang Yanhao also patted Yang Jing having fun, and Nian Qing even laughed a few times. Although Qi Qingnuo only chuckled, it was very bright.

Halfway through Yang Jing's walk, the guests and bar staff began to give him face. The masculine women and models' figures were artificially excited and excited, and their restless looks supported Yuan Haonan's calmness, which he only lightly clapped his hands.

Someone else asked for a song: "Sing thank you."

There are also different tastes: "A photo."

Others couldn't hold it back: "Face, publicity..."

Yang Jingxing sat in front of the piano, pulled the microphone and said: "Opportunities are rare, so I have to show my ugliness. Play one to show respect."

Sister Ran's partner standing nearby was happy and whispered excitedly: "This is going to be a difficult one!"

As expected, they are a high-quality crowd. As soon as they heard that they were going to play the piano, the environment immediately became much quieter.

Yang Jingxing started and played a few notes with his right hand. Sister Ran's partner laughed helplessly and his expression darkened.

Yang Jingxing played "The Look of You", one of Li Danyang's masterpieces. The intro was exactly the same as the song. The theme was simple and clear, and everyone knew the source as soon as they heard it.

However, except for fellow piano players, most people were supportive or surprised. The group of musicians over there were also a little happier, but Li Danyang was also a bit rogue.

Qidawei haha, use practical actions to remind everyone not to delay what is in the cup.

As soon as the prelude was finished, Yang Jingxing asked his left hand to join in. With a brief transition, the rhythm and direction of the music immediately changed.

The accompaniment and arrangement of the original song are relatively simple, focusing on the vicissitudes of life contained in the singer's vague and hoarse voice.

But Yang Jingxing is not trying to be simple now. The fragment after the intro that sounds almost divorced from the original music to a layman shows that what he plays is definitely not a simple accompaniment, or even an arrangement.

The variation melody derived from the original theme sounds heavier and more complex, and the chords, broken chords, and arpeggios are a level higher than high-end improvisational accompaniment.

At first, you might have thought that Yang Jingxing was flattering and hit the horse's leg wrongly. In addition to the guests, Pu Weixing and Li Danyang all looked sideways.

However, professional musicians will soon be able to tell that Yang Jingxing did not deviate from the original song, and it was probably just for show.

Gan Kaicheng chuckled and met Qi Qingnuo's eyes. Qi Qingnuo looked at Li Danyang again, who also smiled more tolerantly.

After a short period of development and changes, Yang Jingxing naturally returned to the original song. Although the melody remained the same, the rhythm and priorities were different. The most direct feeling is that it is still slower and heavier than the original song.

The piano player who was watching behind Yang Jingxing seemed to be the first to see Yang Jingxing's intention. He was beaming with joy again. He raised his head in excitement and laughed silently for a brief moment. Then he concentrated on observing Yang Jingxing's hands.

There is only one instrument, and it is the king of instruments. The performance feels more specific than the original song's unclear accompaniment and unclear lyrics.

Yang Jingxing also had a serious attitude. Looking at the keys, his right hand was relatively relaxed, while his left hand was busier. The accompaniment was rich and just right.

At least it felt quite fresh. Li Danyang and Pu Weixing both looked back, and others also paid more attention.

Pu Weixing turned to Hehe and smiled, and communicated with Gan Kaicheng: "The chords are going well."

Gan Kai smiled in a noncommittal and profound manner.

"I have an idea." Pu Weixing nodded, then turned around to look.

Except for some small changes in priorities in the melody, Yang Jingxing is indeed more focused on the accompaniment. Chord direction, this simple yet ever-changing and extremely complex knowledge, what Yang Jingxing is showing now is definitely not the level of improvisation required.

Appropriate and unique accompaniment is used to highlight, set off, support, amplify, and be specific... Teachers say that melody is the skin and chords are the skeleton, which makes sense.

Of course, if you want to do it, you still have to play it well. Even if most people can't explain why, most people can hear it. The expression on the player's face that he is shaking his head in admiration and intoxication shows that Yang Jingxing seems to be doing a good job now.

Of course, Yang Jingxing respects the creative intention of the original work. For example, when he plays the part where the singer suddenly exerts force in the song, he suddenly increases the intensity, and adds a lot.

Most of the people were already listening and watching attentively, but the piano's suddenly more intense emotional changes than the original music made many people perk up.

This is indeed a good way to attract attention, and everyone at the star table also focused their attention on the stage. In fact, there was no need to look, but most people were watching, and Lin Zhengsheng and Zhang Yanhao also put down their wine glasses and followed the crowd.

As the melody intensifies and the rhythm increases, the accompaniment becomes more exaggerated, becomes more complex, and has a somewhat grand and vigorous feel.

In fact, at this time, there is no longer any distinction between melody and accompaniment. It is more like a two-part polyphony that complements each other and is worth listening to regardless of priority. Yang Jingxing's hands feel like they are flying.

Many people must have heard it by now. Yang Jingxing did not accompaniment or arrangement, but blatant plagiarism. He plagiarized the main melody of the song and then filled it into a piano piece.

But Li Danyang still smiled kindly.

According to the progression of the song, after the interlude, Yang Jingxing started to show off again. It was almost a cadenza. Although it was short, it had huge ups and downs and was full of impact.

The expressions of some guests showed that they had a high level of understanding of the issue of face. The way Zhao Gu lowered his head and thought, the masculine woman also became more focused. The piano player next to Yang Jingxing put his hands in his trouser pockets and half raised his head to look at the top of the stage that had not been there for many years.

With the lights on, it looks majestic.

Qi Qingnuo's current expression can be described as tranquil, while Nian Qing is playing with her hair or scratching her arms, which is not surprising.

The second half, generally speaking, is still performed with two voices, but the distance between the voices is obvious and there is not much artificiality. And those top musicians seem to be like Puyin's junior students. They have to concentrate on listening to two voices without being distracted.

Otherwise, you will fail the sight-singing and ear training.

Yang Jingxing played the song very seriously with his hands flying, but he didn't overdo it, and he quickly ended in the same form as the original song.

It was really quiet in the bar, and the bartender was probably too anxious to shake the glass.

Yang Jingxing turned on the microphone again: "Thank you."

The applause was loud, but it was not honorable at all. Not to mention it was better than before, even Sister Ran and Fu Feirong got much better.

Also, there are only a few people there, and most of them focus on the celebrities. It seems that they don’t dare to applaud the big shots.

Li Danyang applauded calmly with a smile, and then felt that everyone was on the same level. Cheng Yaoyao did not show the youthful and lively appearance on stage, and the frequency of clapping was very ladylike.

However, in comparison, the performance of the big shots was more enthusiastic than before. For example, Pu Weixing seemed to regard himself as an ordinary person. So the guests showed greater enthusiasm, and the applause in the bar quickly reached its peak, which was not bad.

But Yang Jingxing had already stepped down, as if he was eager to return to the side of the big shots. He only looked apologetic to those who asked to sing a song, but ignored the inexplicable provocations in the eyes of masculine women.

After sitting down with an embarrassed expression, Yang Jingxing apologized to Li Danyang: "It's just a matter of course."

Li Danyang smiled a little brighter: "Drink a little, okay?"

Gan Kaicheng was distressed: "He!? Don't let him start, we can't resist it."

Pu Weixin encouraged: "Come on, come on... the arrangement should be good."

Yang Jingxing always said: "When you first enter the industry, you have a lot to learn."

Gan Kaicheng showed no face: "I won't teach you!"

Qi Qingnuo got the cup and put it in front of Yang Jingxing. He smiled at Zhang Yanhao who was preparing to pour wine for Yang Jingxing: "This is what I asked the boss to do."

Yang Jingxing held the cup to receive the wine and begged: "Boss, let Manager Gan teach me."

Zhang Yanhao laughed: "Let's talk after drinking this cup."

Zidavi symbolically said: "He drives less."

Cheng Yaoyao said: "It doesn't matter, there are many cars."

Pu Weixing obviously knew something and asked Yang Jingxing: "Ding Sangpeng's great-grandson should be about the same age as you?"

Yang Jingxing said: "The eldest great-grandson has graduated from college, and the others are younger than me."

Pu Weixing seemed happy: "He is worthy of respect. He is from the older generation, I should say the older generation. He is the most ambitious and has indirectly encouraged me."

Yang Jingxing said: "They are also very concerned about us, the younger generation."

Zhang Yanhao reminded: "It's not enough to just have the care of the older generation. These are the seniors. Here's to you!"

Gan Kaicheng reminded Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing: "You guys come together too."

After a while at the wine table, Nian Qing also showed great respect for his seniors, even though he drank low alcohol.

Now that he had drank, Pu Weixing smiled at Yang Jingxing in a more friendly manner: "Your friend said you are a master, world-class?"

Yang Jingxing was startled and looked at Qi Qingnuo, who referred to the fearless Nian Qing.

Yang Jingxing complained: "You really can't stand me. I'm world-class at best."

Nian Qing ignored it, while Pu Weixin and others laughed, and then explained the meaning of the big world to Zhang Hongwei, making him smile so much that he attracted everyone's attention again.

Speaking of the piano, Lin Zhengsheng became sad. He said that a good friend of his, the number one pianist in Taiwan's recording studio, injured his right hand in an accident. As for the piano, it was scrapped. He was heartbroken.

Zhang Hongwei added that fortunately this man had a good family who supported him in finally getting out of trouble and starting a new life.

Cheng Yaoyao also understood: "The piano teacher will not allow students to play basketball."

Android said: "Learning piano is hard. I didn't persevere, and sometimes I regret it."

Although they are not in the same major, the musicians are very knowledgeable when talking about piano. They also talk about some well-known pianists and even gossip about them.

Android talked about how he once shared the stage with a famous young pianist for a ribbon-cutting event. He seemed to have a deep memory: "...At that time, the organizer wanted me to sing a song with him, but he didn't express his position." After saying that, he laughed.

Yang Jingxing slandered his colleagues: "It must be pressure."

Qi Qingnuo was even more ruthless: "He doesn't have many repertoire, his improvisations are average, he just became famous early."
