Because the lead singer is very important in a band. In addition to playing bass, the bassist may also be responsible for driving, helping the drummer move drums, and helping the guitarist move speakers. In comparison, the lead singer is the most popular. The windy one is also the one who stands at the front every time.
But Zhou Le has already thought about this problem.
"Gu Yi, when it comes to being successful on stage, I have already achieved success. When I was at my peak, I even held a concert in the Bird's Nest, and the tickets were sold out in seconds.
So I actually don’t have much obsession with the position of the lead singer. This is what I think. If you are willing to take the bass, you can be the lead singer, because the bass is usually the hardest to find in a band, because if If you weren't the lead singer, the bass would be playing itself in the corner from beginning to end, and you wouldn't be able to hear the bass very well.
So in addition, we just need to find a drummer, and then a guitar player or a keyboard player, so we only need four people to put the band together. "
"Bess...I'm not very good at this."
"That's too easy. Let me tell you, most of the bass players in the band have not played bass before. Maybe they have played guitar before, but because they don't have a bass player, they picked up this thing. But since you know guitar, it will be much easier to switch to bass, and I can teach you then."
"Okay, Brother Le, let's do it, but is there anyone else over there?"
"Yes, yes, but everyone has their own band, so it's impossible to leave your own band to come and work with me."
Gu Yi sighed: "Then I don't have one either..."
Just as he finished speaking, Gu Yi suddenly thought of Yu Xue.
Yu Xue grew up in training classes since she was a child. She has learned more than one musical instrument. Yu Xue can basically play all modern popular instruments.
But he wasn't in a hurry to say it.
But after saying goodbye to Zhou Le, he returned to the hotel and called Yu Xue.
"Xiaoxue, are you asleep?"
"no."
"Brother Le and I had dinner tonight, and we talked a lot."
"What are you talking about?"
"We talked about the band, and then we decided to form a band to have fun. We can do whatever we usually do. We can also write songs by ourselves. If there is a performance and everyone is free, we can go to concerts or music Let’s have some fun at the festival.”
"Why do you suddenly think of starting a band?"
"Well, we both want to hold a concert, but we don't have enough songs. If we form a band, we can put the songs together, and at least we can put together a whole concert. Plus, we are quite good at it. We hit it off, and I also like rock music, so I had a few ideas for rock songs, so I agreed.”
"Then there are only two of you. You can't form a band with two people, can you? I remember that a band must have at least three people, guitar, bass and drums, and the lead singer will also be one of them."
"So, I just wanted to ask if you have any ideas in this regard? Let's start a band together."
After hearing this, Yu Xue was silent for two seconds.
Just when Gu Yi thought that Yu Xue had no idea about this and was about to change the topic, Yu Xue suddenly said: "Gu Yi, actually there is something I haven't told you because I'm still thinking about it. Last year I After filming that movie, I felt like being an actor was different from what I thought.”
"What's wrong? Didn't you tell me that you had a great time filming that movie?"
"Oh, it's really refreshing, but after filming, I feel very empty. That is, after I concentrate on one thing, and then suddenly become free, I feel at a loss what to do, and I have to be in the scene frequently every time I film. When it comes to acting, I am the kind of person who easily gets into the drama, but it takes me a long time to get out after filming, so I feel like this is too tiring.”
"Then you'll stop filming in the future?"
"It's not that I won't make movies, but I don't want to be a full-time actor. At most, if there are suitable roles that I want to take in the future, I will shoot them, and if I can't, I won't shoot other movies, and then I can concentrate on making music."
"Do you want to be a singer? This is also possible. You are still very talented in this area. God will provide you with food. When the time comes, we can also create together."
"So, I'm actually quite interested in your band. What's your position now?"
"Now we have bass and guitar. The guitar is played by Le Ge, and I am the bass and vocalist. In addition, we still lack a drummer, guitar or keyboard."
"I can do both, but why don't you ask Brother Le for his opinion?"
Then Gu Yi contacted Zhou Le again and told Yu Xue that he was interested in joining. Zhou Le was overjoyed after hearing this. He wanted to form a band this time simply because he wanted to have fun. After all, he would change the band and then go solo. Fighting alone feels boring.
"Then we only lack one person now. Gu Yi, you can look for her again, and I will also ask the people around me."
Gu Yi agreed.
Gu Yi returned to school the next day.
Then I asked in the big group at their Spring Festival Gala.
"Friends, Le Ge, Yu Xue and I are planning to start a band. Is there anyone who is good at guitar, keyboard or drums? Priority will be given to keyboard players and drummers."
Xiang Feng: "I can b-box, but I can play drums with my mouth."
Gu Yi: "That won't work. A concert lasts two or three hours. If you perform a few more performances, your mouth will be like a gorilla."
Xiang Feng: "Okay, then I can't."
Sister Hui: "I can play the drum, but it's just the Yangko drum from our place. Is this okay?"
Gu Yi: "That won't work either, Sister Hui, you need a drum set."
Later, Meng Song and Si Zhengan also said that they could not play these instruments.
"Where's Brother Zhe?"
"I know folk music, and a little bit at piano, but only a little. If you ask me to play suona, erhu or guzheng, I can give you a try, but I'm average at drums, guitars and electronic keyboards. .”
Several girls in Sister Hui's dormitory also said that they could dance, but singing and playing musical instruments were hardly interesting.
Finally, Zhu Yanfang silently sent an emoticon in the group.
"I know how to play the drums. I started learning it when I was six years old, but I don't know if I can meet your requirements."
"Lao Zhu, you actually know how to play the drums? You hide it so much!
"How about giving it a try?"
"Okay, then I'll go home this weekend and record a video and send it to you. If it works, I'd like to try it. If it doesn't, you can just ask other people."
"No problem, thank you for your hard work. If you can do it, we can form a band."
