The subtext of this statement is that he is tone-deaf. Xu Yaoji is just like himself and has no artistic talent. The reason why he didn't want to form a band before was not because it was stupid but because he didn't understand art!
Lin An smiled inwardly after finding a weakness in the omnipotent Xu Yaoji.
"Four of the six people understand basic music theory, two don't. Only this lady is suitable for the keyboard position. The others don't understand orchestra instruments. Okay, I understand." Teacher Wu summarized and said, "Now I will test everyone's musical level and then consider the position allocation."
…
Twenty minutes later, Teacher Wu, feeling a headache, said, "The test results are in. Miss Ye Ju's piano skills are undervalued for the orchestra, but she can perfectly handle the keyboard role. Her music theory is average, but if she practices intensively for two weeks and sings one or two songs, she'll be good enough to perform on stage."
"Ms. Theresa is a very good musician. Even if you haven't mastered an orchestra instrument before, you can quickly pick it up with a little practice. Ms. Li Baiwei's voice is excellent. It's no exaggeration to say that if she had practiced singing since childhood, she could have debuted as a singer. However, Ms. Xu Yaoji and Mr. Lin An, your music theory level is completely unknown, and your singing ability is only at the level of ordinary people. With another month or two, you can reach the level of performing on stage. It's very difficult to perform on stage with only two weeks."
"Lin An, apologize to Teacher Wu quickly. You are holding our band back." As soon as Teacher Wu finished speaking, Xu Yaoji's voice was sharp.
"What do you mean I'm holding back? At least I've played guitar a few times. But you, Xu Yaoji." Lin An couldn't help but say, "Look at those enchanting fingernails of yours. You can't even play the guitar. You're the one holding back."
"You don't need to worry about me. I'm so smart that I can perform perfectly on stage. It's you who is holding me back." Xu Yaoji was full of confidence.
Lin An saw through Xu Yaoji's trick in a second and shouted to Jian Shuier, "Master, Xu Yaoji is not planning to practice the band's performance properly. He plans to play music when he goes on stage. Please come and take care of it."
"Bastard Lin An, you betrayed me!"
Xu Yaoji was furious and kicked his butt with her beautiful long legs.
But Lin An had already predicted Xu Yaoji's kick and hid behind Jian Shuier: "This guy Xu Yaoji not only didn't practice well, but also planned to hit someone. Captain, please take care of it."
"Xiao Yaoyao." Jian Shui'er's rosy lips blossomed into a very warm smile: "We agreed that we would study and learn together. You can't be lazy by yourself. You have to practice well with us."
"I know, I can do it." Xu Yaoji glared at Lin An and compromised.
Teacher Wu watched the young people's little farce end, thought for a moment and said, "Next, let's assign roles."
"A professional band is basically divided into five roles: guitarist, bassist, drummer, keyboardist and lead singer."
"The lead singer is the main singer, usually one or two people. Sometimes the guitarist or keyboardist will also serve as the lead singer. The lead singer is the most important person in the band and is the soul of the band."
"There are usually one or two guitarists, divided into lead guitarist and rhythm guitarist. The lead guitarist is responsible for playing the main melody and chord progression in the song and is an important part of the band. The rhythm guitarist is mainly responsible for providing stable rhythm and harmony support for the band, and together with the drummer and bassist, builds the band's rhythm framework."
"There's one bassist, who's responsible for playing the bass part; one drummer, who's responsible for playing the drums; and usually one keyboardist, who provides the band with rich tones and harmonic support."
"Normally, the five roles are lead singer, drummer, guitarist, bassist, and keyboardist in this order of importance. A band can be formed with a lead singer, drummer, and guitarist. But in the case of the Big Miss Band, the keyboardist is too strong, so we can form a band with the lead singer and keyboardist as the main players."
"I think the lead singer will be given to Miss Li Baiwei, and the keyboardist will be Miss Ye Ju. You can choose the rest first."
"I want a bassist." Xu Yaoji was the first to speak.
"That bastard ex-girlfriend stole the simplest bass." Lin An was furious and the rest were difficult to choose.
"I think playing drums would be cool, so I'll be a drummer." Jian Shuier said second.
"Lin An, do you want lead guitar or rhythm guitar?" Theresa looked at him with a smile on her face.
"Rhythm guitar," Lin An said. It was obvious that rhythm guitar was simpler.
"Okay, let's assign the roles like this. Then we'll do a simple rehearsal to get a feel for the band," said Teacher Wu.
Several people had no objection.
Soon, Li Baiwei stood at the front with a microphone in hand. Behind her were Lin An and the other two holding guitar and bass. At the back was Jian Shuier, who was sitting on a stool fiddling with drumsticks, and Ye Ju, whose face still had no expression and the temperature around him seemed to have dropped many degrees.
"Don't worry about anything, just play casually," said Teacher Wu.
"clear."
Jian Shui'er waved the drumstick in her hand and hit the drum, making a thudding sound, looking quite professional.
Theresa and Xu Yaoji, wearing finger gloves and picks, also plucked the strings, making crisp sounds.
Lin An had touched a guitar before, but only touched it once. At this time, he could only pluck the strings randomly like he saw in TV dramas.
Then……
"Gah gah gah."
The harsh and noisy music filled my ears, as if I had come to a scene with the combined noise of renovations and traffic on the road.
It's mentally torturous and ear-irritating, and the entire music practice room is in chaos, like a riot of demons.
"This six-member band is a mess. It's really the product of Jian Shuier's impulsive thinking!"
Lin An sighed in his heart and expressed deep doubts about whether the band could perform normally on stage.
…
However, Lin An looked at the mirror in the practice room and saw the reflection of six people standing together in an ensemble band.
He also understood that the youth that Jian Shuier pursued was the meaning of rock and roll—
Youth is rock, and rock is the memories of six people together.
Jian Shuier probably likes, or rather cherishes the harmonious time they have now.
