On Sunday, April 20, the girls' dormitory in Building 15, South Normal University.

"Is a new episode coming out?"

"Not yet." Liu Nan put the lunch box on the desk, looked at the time, and said, "It's only 12 o'clock in the future."

"I don't know what song they rehearsed this time, I hope it was the song we heard last time."

"You said the one on the school radio?"

"Yeah, I think it sounds nice."

"I prefer the one he sang at the entrance of the Duoyi.com elevator."

"That's not bad, Chinese style."

"Oh, I'm out, come and see."

The roommate turned off his computer, moved his chair, sat next to Liu Nan, looked at the opening advertisement, and complained: "This advertisement is too long."

"It is said that f&q can be divided into advertising fees. The first episode now has more than 30 million views. Some people on the Internet say f&q can be divided into at least 2 million."

"Hey, it's so profitable. The job I found is only more than 3,000 yuan a month. I can only earn 2 million for 6 years without eating or drinking. They have to pay 31 episodes, 60 million!"

While the two chatted, the advertisement ended, the video began, and the life clips of the six members of F&Q flashed in turn in amid the melodious guitar sounds, each of which only takes a few seconds.

Liu Nan had sharp eyes and said when he saw the first clip: "These shots seem to be different from the first episode."

"where?"

Liu Nan dragged the video back a little, then paused, pointed to the screen and said, "Look, Shi Lilin cried, she was laughing in the first episode."

"Really. She would cry too?"

Liu Nan pressed the space bar and continued to watch the video.

Shi Lilin was crying, Xu was angry, Qiao Yadan was talking. Mai Jie was frowning, Lan Xiaoxi was confused, Fang Xiao was worried.

"Maybe something bad happened?"

"It should be."

The background song of the opening and background is exactly the same as the first episode.

“…

How do you feel now?

Is it joy and sorrow or a little unknown sorrow

If so, please come in my world and stay

Here someone is here to accompany you with joy and sorrow

…”

Black screen, subtitles appear: April 19. Yingfeng International Building, F&Q bird gun replacement, went to the top domestic recording studio to record...

The picture appears, all the members of F&Q took a photo in front of an office building, and then, under the surveillance of several passers-by, walked into the building, entered the elevator, and left the elevator, and were at the door of a company with the nameplate of "Bao Le Recording". The front desk lady took out a blank envelope and asked everyone of F&Q to sign.

Then the camera aimed at the screen wall behind the front desk, with record covers sticking on it.

"It turns out that "Love Sadness" was recorded here, and I thought it was in Taiwan."

"Yes, this studio looks very high-end. Look, An Zihua's "The Favorite" is also recorded here."

While the two were chatting, a man's voice appeared in the originally quiet video.

"Fang Xiao."

The camera turned and pointed at Fang Xiao. He looked at him with a surprised expression. He smiled and said, "Brother Kun, such a coincidence? He has been in seclusion for nine years and has returned to the world today? Which king and queen are you going to record a record for?"

The camera turned again and pointed at a middle-aged man with a burly body and long hair. He carried a guitar box on his back and said, "If you don't record songs, I'm here to find you. I watched your video yesterday. My hands were so itchy. Nan Normal University is too far away, so I'm too lazy to run away. I heard from Brother Bao that you are coming to record songs today, so I came over and asked you to discuss with you."

"This brother Kun is the Cao Kun on WeChat, right?"

“It should be.”

"Damn, the old generation of guitar masters came to the door to smash the new generation of guitar masters. Now it's a big deal!" The roommate was excited and moved the chair to the front and said, "I don't know who can win?"

Liu Nan couldn't help but sit up straight and said casually: "The guitar is not a fight, how can I decide the winner or lose?"

The members of the Queen band in the video were also very excited. Shi Lilin smiled and held her thumbs up to cheer Fang Xiao up.

"Looking like this, Arlene has nothing to do, why do she cry?"

"Maybe something went wrong during the recording."

After the front desk lady nailed the blank envelope full of F&Q signatures to the record wall, she led the group of people down the corridor and into a rehearsal room. There were already two people in the rehearsal room, an old man in a double-breasted Tang suit and a young man with a man's ponytail. The subtitles next to it showed their identities: Uncle Bao, music director of the f&Q concert and Ada.

"This recording engineer is pretty handsome."

"Yes, I look so elegant."

Cao Kun took out a rustic guitar from the piano box, sat in the middle of the rehearsal room, and said, "Fang Xiao, I will play "Clas Private Cal-gas" and help me see what's wrong."

"I don't dare to take it, Brother Kun, please."

Cao Kun's posture and expression of playing guitar are two extremes with Fang Xiao. He held the guitar and looked down at the strings. He was very focused and did not have any extra physical movements, but his fingers were flexibly flying and the music was rushing freely. If he listened with his eyes closed, it was exactly the same as Fang Xiao's version.

Within one day, I practiced such a difficult guitar song, and I practiced it almost perfectly. I am definitely a master among experts.

However, for onlookers who don’t understand guitar, the serious and focused way of playing is neither cool nor cool...

"No wonder he said he was old and had a dog." The roommate said disdainfully, "Fang Xiao played so easily. He played so nervously. The judgement was very different."

"Fang Xiao wrote the song himself. He is more familiar with it and practices a lot." Liu Nan said in a relatively neutral and objective manner: "He has only been practicing for a day, and it is already amazing to be able to play this way."

After Cao Kun finished playing, there was a burst of warm applause in the rehearsal room. The picture turned to Fang Xiao. He said to the camera with a sincere tone: "Brother Kun is definitely a master."

At this time the picture stopped and subtitles were displayed: Brother Kun and Fang Xiao exchanged guitar skills for 41 minutes. Although the masters competed and the peak duel was very gimmick, the content of the conversation was too professional and I couldn't understand. I had to cut it off...

"It really disappoints me!"

Another line of subtitles appeared: We will release the video in the form of behind-the-scenes as soon as possible for guitar enthusiasts to watch...

“It’s almost the same.”

Liu Nan smiled and said, "You don't understand guitar."

"Can you learn in the future."

After the subtitles disappeared, Fang Xiao sat in the middle of the rehearsal room, holding a guitar that was obviously a circle larger than an ordinary guitar, and said to the camera: "Brother Kun must let me play a new song. Otherwise, I won't be able to record it, so I have to play one. The one I took is an alto guitar, which is relatively rare and often appears in the soundtracks of the movie. The strings it uses are longer and thicker than the ordinary guitar, and the scale is 4 degrees lower than that of the ordinary guitar. The song I played is called "fight"..."

After introducing the guitar, he started playing. The techniques and performance styles are completely different from those of "Clas Private Cal-gas". Although "Clas Private Cal-gas" is very fast, it uses almost the most basic string plucking and sweeping, which does not exceed ordinary people's understanding of guitar skills. This time, Fang Xiao used a lot of string pounding and board-beating skills. These two techniques are very novel for viewers who have never been exposed to finger-playing guitar.

The strings of the alto guitar are very thick and the sound is deeper than ordinary guitars. They have a little bass flavor, and the strings and boards are used together. There is also a little drum flavor, which combines them to make the entire music rich in layers and the musical notes change, allowing the audience to feel like a person, a piano, and a band.

"Looking at Fang Xiao's fingers, it's like ten small spring people dancing on the guitar strings, jumping around."

"I think it's like the noodles in instant noodles advertisements, which are full of strength."

"You are such a foodie!"

Liu Nan lowered his head, looked at his ten fingers, and said, "I'll buy a guitar to play when I get to work."

"We will go together at that time. If you buy a group, you can get discounts."

After Fang Xiao finished playing, the camera surrounded the rehearsal room, everyone was applauding, and everyone had a wonderful expression on their faces, "I already know he is very powerful, but he is just a little more powerful than I thought."

The camera switched, and Cao Kun's interview appeared.

"I came to Fang Xiao today, and I absolutely had no intention of playing the stage. He couldn't play the stage, really couldn't play... I have three purposes. The first is to ask him in person for the skills of playing "Clas Private Cal-gas". There are some orders of hearing, masters are the masters... There is no face or shame, and he is really well written... I played it without any problem, but there are still many details to be changed..."

"The second purpose is to show the old guys who called me last night to laugh at me. Although I, Lao Cao, have not been able to play for 9 years, have not lost my skills. If anyone is not convinced, I will practice "Clas Private Cal-gas" in one day, and then come to Hong Kong to slap me in the face..."

"Third, the third is Fang Xiao, this kid, who is very lazy. If you don't force him, he won't take good goods to the outside world. Like the song just now, he must have written it a long time ago, but he won't take it out... Use your thumb and index finger to pluck the strings, use your middle finger and ring finger to hit the strings, and use your little finger to hit the board. This is a unique technique. I have never seen anyone use it before... Plot overtones, click overtones, hit the strings, and hit the board. These techniques are very inspiring to me. It is a new idea for many people who play guitars... So I said that guitar is just a musical instrument in our hands, and in Fang Xiao's hands, it is a magic weapon. He can play different things by playing casually. If he doesn't accept it..."

"This guitar was specially made in Canada when I held a solo concert in 2004. I found the best luthier and used the best wood... I no longer have a music circle anymore. I set up a company, there are many things and busy people, and I rarely play it. Staying at home as a decoration is a waste... I gave it to Fang Xiao for the sword, which is a gift to wish him a success in the concert in advance..."

"Tsk tsk, this guitar is customized and is probably worth a lot of money. It is said that Fang Xiao's own guitar costs 80,000 yuan."

"Who knows?" Liu Nan looked at the screen and said, "He gave the guitar to Fang Xiao, which is also a kind of inheritance. I saw that Cao Kun is the leading figure in China's first generation of professional guitar players." (To be continued...)

ps: Suddenly I got stuck in the text. I had an idea, but no matter how I wrote it, I was so troublesome, I tried to write it for a day and rewritten it three times...
Chapter completed!
