Chapter 5 A Better Rival



Several accompaniment teachers took the time to go to the lounge next door to smoke. Feng Xiaoyun saw Huang Yinyin go up to talk to Yan Zi, but ignored her and went into the smoking room.

"Hello, teachers!" Feng Xiaoyun walked in and put on a smile.

The few accompaniment members nodded without saying anything, but just took out cigarettes and lit them.

"Hey, teacher, this is Huazi. Give me one." Feng Xiaoyun went up to ask for a cigarette.

The keyboard player glanced at him, took another one and threw it to him, and asked, "Do you have any fire?"

"Hey, no, I need to borrow the teacher's fire."

After lighting a cigarette, Feng Xiaoyun would not smoke it. He would just put it in his mouth, wrap it around his mouth, cover it with the hand holding the cigarette, and then exhale it from his mouth. He looked like an old smoker.

"Oh, Huazi is still the best. I cough when I smoke other cigarettes!" Feng Xiaoyun took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to several accompaniment teachers: "I'm not used to smoking this kind of cigarettes. If you don't mind, you can take it and smoke it."

The keyboard player took it and his eyes lit up: "Hey, boy! This cigarette is not fake, right?"

You have to know that all cigarettes of this brand in the world are priced at less than a thousand yuan per pack, and ordinary people may not be able to buy them even if they want to be extravagant.

"Hehe, I dare not, I dare not. It was given to me by an elder." Feng Xiaoyun took this from the general manager's office of Jiangdu Entertainment in front of Feng Jianguo just now. He thought that as a newcomer, he should be able to take something out when offering cigarettes or tea.

The other two guitarists and the drummer also became interested. They put out the cigarettes in their hands and asked the keyboardist to open his cigarettes. The three of them each took a cigarette and started smoking.

"Yes, this smell is pure!" The keyboardist took a deep breath intoxicatedly. "Last time, when I was accompanying Brother Xing, his agent gave me one, and it smelled just like this. Xiaoyun, right? Tell me, what's going on?"

They are all smart people. They are just ordinary accompaniment for Jiangdu Entertainment. Feng Xiaoyun would not have taken out such good cigarettes if he didn't need help from others.

"Hey, brother, what you said, I won't say anything more. Besides Huazi, I'll cough up other things, as long as you don't mind." After saying that, Feng Xiaoyun took out the copy paper he had just written on and handed it to the teachers, saying, "I changed the arrangement of our Yanzi song just now. Teachers, please give me some feedback."

"Wow, kid, you're pretty good. You can even arrange music?" The keyboard player took the paper and looked at it with the two people beside him. The score modified by Feng Xiaoyun was very professional, and it was easy for them to see what had been modified.

"Hehe, I understand a little, a little!" Feng Xiaoyun said with a smile.

After going over it silently in his mind, the keyboardist nodded: "This change of style does change it a lot, but I think you still need a bass here."

"Well, I know a little bit about that too!"

It's not surprising that someone who can compose music can play several instruments. Several people agreed and tried the modified version during the rehearsal.

Seeing that several people agreed, Feng Xiaoyun expressed his gratitude a few more times, then put out his cigarette and walked out.

Back in the practice room, she saw Huang Yinyin still chattering around Yan Zi. Yan Zi, however, was the type of person who had no desire to talk to strangers and could only respond passively. When she heard Feng Xiaoyun calling her, she actually felt a sense of relief.

Walking up to Feng Xiaoyun and smelling the faint smell of cigarettes on him, Yan Zi frowned.

Feng Xiaoyun saw it and asked with a smile: "Why? Don't you like men who smoke?"

"That's right, I don't like it!" Yan Zi answered so directly.

"Hehe, that's a coincidence. I don't like men who smoke either!" Feng Xiaoyun said with a smile, "Okay, let's get down to business. I just went in and asked the accompaniment teachers, and they also think your singing is too similar to the original singer. This is actually a disadvantage in the competition. You can feel it yourself."

"Yeah!" Yan Zi nodded. She felt this and had been making adjustments, but the results were not ideal.

"Look at this!" Feng Xiaoyun handed her the arrangement he wrote.

Yan Zi took it. Just now, while he was singing, he occasionally saw Feng Xiaoyun writing and drawing on the side. He was actually helping him arrange the song.

After reviewing the sheet music, Yan Zi could sense a change in style. If Wen Feifei's original version depicted the pain of a woman betrayed by a man and losing contact with him, the new arrangement had a faster pace and a free-spirited feel.

"You wrote it?" Yan Zi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this slick new neighbor and new assistant could actually compose music.

"Hey, I understand a little bit. Ah, the accompaniment teacher is back, you can go and try it first."

After Feng Xiaoyun and Yan Zi finished speaking, they walked forward, picked up a bass, and said to the accompanying teachers, "Brothers, we are in trouble!"

Yan Zi also knew that now was not the time to go into details, and she was also quite interested in Feng Xiaoyun's modified version. She sang it silently in her heart and nodded to several accompaniments.

This singing had a big change in style, which was indeed refreshing. Even Huang Yinyin, who was singing it once, had her eyes light up and looked at Yan Zi without blinking.

After the song was sung, everyone in the training room felt that the effect was indeed much better, only Feng Xiaoyun still frowned and called Yan Zi over.

"Yanzi, your feelings are still not there."

Yan Zi didn't care that Feng Xiaoyun was just his assistant. The arrangement just now had already proved his ability.

"The emotions are not there?" Yan Zi frowned.

"Oh, you can't keep frowning!" Feng Xiaoyun said as he reached out to touch Yan Zi's brow. He stepped back and avoided her, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He smiled and said, "For this arrangement of mine, you need to sing it in a carefree and disdainful way. Although I've been betrayed, I'm not sad."

"That's how I handle it!"
