Chapter 10 (1/2)
When the cool wind blows downstairs, song Ya calmly thinks about it. Although he can't solve any practical problems, his purpose of consulting has been achieved. At least he has made clear the priorities of the matter, so he doesn't need to make a black eye.
”According to Goodman's idea, the most important thing at present is to record the demo of the song from the second-hand store, and then take it together with the score to the composers' Association for record. Finally, find a reliable agent!”
He found a phone booth with yellow pages, found the ASCAP number, and dialed it directly.
After a long wait, the phone is connected and a series of transfers, waiting, transferring and waiting will come after the other party asks for his intention
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he began to plan the recording of demo.
”In demo, I'm sure I can't make it. I'll ask someone for help Forget it. You can't ask for help now. ”
Alexander song used to be the main trumpeter in the school band. He had a good musical capital and was able to read music scores. It was on this basis that he was able to castrate the original music of the second-hand shop into a version suitable for the times. For example, he removed the first few obscure ”calls”, replaced the electronic part, and changed the unknown part of the lyrics White's stem (probably not in this era), and the white lead singer's ”honky” self mockery and so on.
But these are not enough. Song Ya's sense of music is poor, and his creative ability depends on the ”Apocalypse plug-in”. Many things know it but don't know why. Recording a demo belongs to the creation stage. If outsiders are involved, it's easy to show flaws.
Finally, a steward came over the phone. If it's just for filing, the basic process is very simple. The composers' Association has an office in Chicago. You can make an appointment there and go through the formalities.
”Then record the solo demo. Time is tight. The school is well equipped, but it's a little difficult. I have to try it anyway. It's better to finish all the work in one day and put it on record tomorrow. If you can't catch up, you can just put the lyrics and songs on record, regardless of the demo. ”
He made an appointment with the other party for tomorrow afternoon. He went to the flea market near Huahua street and bought two blank tapes and a very cheap plastic electronic watch, LCD, MIC, brand goods and casiq.
As soon as the morning passed, song Ya felt a little hungry. The Chinese restaurant nearby was too expensive. He finally found a white roadside stall and bought a hot dog to fill his stomach.
”I spent too much money this morning. Alas, I am so poor I think it's the shame of the wearer. ”
He gnawed his hot dog to the subway station. The Apocalypse plug-in didn't know when it would come again. He couldn't think of it completely hanging on a tree. ”Lawyers are very good. Goodman, such a down and out lawyer, takes 35 yuan an hour for consultation, and 10 yuan for two pages of thin paper Or I'll take the lawyer's line, too? After all, lawyers have the opinion that Americana's ruling class or the spokesperson of the ruling class will not be fooled or lame after learning. ”
Now it's only grade nine, which is equivalent to the third day of Chinese junior high school. Everything is still early, and the recording of demo is the most important thing. Song Ya does not stop clapping his hands on his legs and chanting words on his mouth.
At the beginning of his journey, he was indifferent to his body's original musical talent and couldn't enjoy rap songs like ”chanting sutras”. However, after nearly a month's hard work for his credits, he finally had to work hard to find his musical sense and make a fortune.
Back at school, he went straight to the office to find his music teacher.
”I'm very ashamed of the indifference of the ensemble.”
”Due to the improvement of other subjects, I relaxed my pursuit of music, and I regret it.”
”Please give me another chance!”
”Yes, I'm not feeling well in the morning. I asked for leave. I'm better now...”
”It's OK. I'm fine now. I'm all right. Look, can I dance one for you?”
”Well, I just want to borrow the instrument storage room and the equipment inside to record something...”
”No, no, I'm the kind of person who takes a girl to hide?”
”You look too high at me. I can't get the leaves Or something else... ”
”I really, really apologize for my mistakes these days, and I promise to practice hard and recover as soon as possible.”
”I used to be your main trumpeter. Give me another chance! Teacher
”I promise I won't play another wrong note Wow, where did you get this necklace? It's so beautiful. ”
”Yes, it suits you very well...”
”To be honest, I think that Cheryl's taste is really bad enough Yes, yes, yes, her hair looks ridiculous with those big earrings
”She can't compare with you at all!”
