Chapter 44: maverick and non-primary
Best bass solo ever.
This exaggerated request made Zhao Jun feel entangled for a long time, and many times she wanted to directly refund the order because the remuneration was high enough.
However, "the strongest in history" was not created.
You can write a good song all the time, but this song must pass the test of music fans of all generations, and it will become one of the strongest after the baptism of time.
Even if Zhao Junxin is confident that she has outstanding performance skills and strong music creation ability, she will never be arrogant enough to think that she is a classic that can surpass her predecessors.
Such a secondary request must come from a secondary secondary client.
Zhao Junxin feels that this person is a bit like the video up owner of a certain website, and the title party blogger is very skilled in eyeballing.
The other party obviously understands music theory and musical instruments, but his requirements are very strange.
This Solo not only uses bass skills such as stringing, fingerpicking, and tapping, but also requires the use of guitar strumming, string bending and other skills.
She had never met anyone who directly asked to play the bass as a guitar.
Zhao Junxin doubted what challenge the other party was doing. You can't find the video material for the video up of YouTube, and occasionally come to Fantasia for evaluation and challenge.
"$300 to verify the level of musicians at Station F?"
"What the **** is the $89 lead singer?"
"What is the level of translators who start with $5?"
"Is the F station certification reliable? The master personally tested it", and so on.
Freelancers at Station F are generally disgusted by this, thinking that they affect the business. In the internal forum, someone notified a lot of the trumpets of YouTube up masters to prevent everyone from being recruited.
Zhao Jun thought to himself, could she have been recruited this time? How can someone who seriously needs music make such a request?
But if the up master makes the video, then the other party is too willing to spend money.
For this "strongest solo in history", the customer directly paid 10,000 US dollars.
This is definitely the most expensive business she has ever asked for since she played music. When she first saw the order, she thought the other party had placed an extra zero.
With such a generous remuneration, no matter how strange the request is, and no matter how tight her time is, she doesn't want to give up.
Isn't it just a show? She tried her best to get her liver out.
Zhao Junxin took classes during the day, went to LiveHouse at night to give the bassist of the contemporary class to the band, returned home at 12 o'clock at night, and started writing songs in the early morning.
Music creation, when the inspiration is overwhelming, Zhao Junxin can do it in the shortest time. But there is no inspiration, and I am stuck in a bottleneck. It really takes a section to think about it. Reluctantly write the whole, and then adjust and modify a little bit.
Zhao Junxin basically wrote on the first day, and on the second day, he shot the manuscript from the previous day and re-written it.
She knows all kinds of skills, but how to combine them efficiently is a problem.
It's boring to slip through various techniques superficially, and it will take too long to show the skills in depth. The song was done several times, but she was rejected in the end.
Even when writing music for someone, a good musician should leave his own style behind.
In short, after struggling for a long time, Zhao Jun was not satisfied.
The body that has been in a state of extreme exhaustion after being busy for four consecutive days could not bear it. Just as the weather changed and the temperature dropped sharply, Zhao Jun accidentally caught a cold.
Dizziness and headache, the whole person is groggy, the throat is inflamed due to infection, and drinking saliva hurts like being torn.
A cold is a minor illness, but a high fever of 39.5° is really unpleasant.
Zhao Junxin, who was in a daze, wrote a song while infusion.
It wasn't that she wanted to work so hard, but that the inspiration of running away from home for so many days finally came, and it would be a pity not to write it down now.
The pain of not being able to write a music draft, the exhaustion and excitement of rushing to the stage at LiveHouse, the torture of repeated insomnia, the heartbeat that accelerated to the point of exploding when sick, the pain in the limbs for no reason, the scorching hot breath, the vague consciousness...
These pains have all turned into notes written by her, sometimes dark and deep, sometimes violent and ferocious
Fever
fever
Zhao Jun thought of a name for Solo.
When you get home, take your medicine first. Then, holding the electric guitar, she started recording, without changing a single note.
Creation is so unreasonable.
The results of many days of hard work and hard work are not as good as a flash of light.
Zhao Junxin submits the music after editing the video slightly. The day before the dead line, she completed the mission.
She lay helplessly on the bed, finally getting a good rest.
Four hours of sleep.
Four hours later, she had to catch a LiveHouse show.
She is very sleepy and needs sleep to recuperate when she is sick. But at this moment, a song played in my head.
Zhao Junxin got up from the bed and quickly wrote the song.
She has discovered that pain is her greatest source of inspiration.
Zhao Junxin originally used music to relieve pain and vent her negative emotions. At the same time, the pain in her life, whether mental or physical, has become the source of her music creation.
"Well...that's not going to work..." Zhao Jun murmured to himself.
For a good musician, the source of creative inspiration should not only come from negative emotions. In terms of personal mental health, this state should not be maintained for a long time.
Her creative ability has yet to be improved, and she needs to discover more creative elements.
However, if she wants to break through this point, she can't do it by herself. As Yao Jiaming pointed out, you must ask senior bands for advice, communicate and cooperate with masters a lot.

Zhao Junxin's recent activity in LiveHouse has attracted a lot of attention. Her Weibo posts photos of collaborating with big bands every day.
Originally, she wanted a lot of technical fans, but this wave of cooperation Zhao Junxin has attracted countless fans with her powerful skills.
More and more people recognize this tall, beautiful and powerful bass player. In a month, her number of fans exceeded 100,000.
But her fan base is getting weirder, and her words are getting bolder.
[Sister Xin is too alpha, her legs are weak when she glances at her on stage. 】
[Sister Xin **** me! 】
[Sao 0 roll over, Sister Xin is ours! 】
[The style of painting should not be so strange, okay? Please concentrate on music and technology, you are sexual harassment! 】
[Technical fans are too serious. Everyone just shouted and expressed their love. 】
[How can **** be sexually harassed by listening to the shouting of metal music? 】
[I found that Junxin has recently become a fan of gays and les, as well as a lot of straight female girlfriend fans. It's strange, this is the rhythm of fire. 】
Of course, there are dissonant sounds in there too.
【fire? Hehe, does a band want her? Fans bragged about her skills, but no band ever kept her. It can be seen that the technology is all blown. Besides her height, what's so outstanding about her? 】
[It's euphemistically called working with a big band, but it's actually a substitute for acupuncture. Powerful people participate in the competition and show on reality shows, and those who have no power get out in advance. 】
[A bass player can't hear the sound at all. I don't know where the power is. Fans rant all day long. 】
[Bitch Song, Song Xiaosan's navy is here again! 】
[If you watch "New Cool Era", don't beg here again! A group of vegetables are too embarrassed to blow! 】
Zhao Junxin's fans, who were still noisy inside just now, immediately united.
Although Sunset Sunset and Zhao Junxin have nothing to promote in the past, there are always people who know about it through various channels. The metal circle is really small.
Song Feifei got rid of Zhao Junxin, the original creator of the band, took the lead singer position and kicked him out of the team.
As soon as this material broke, fans who were attracted by their appearance immediately took off their fans and stepped back.
Song Feifei's junior third, Zhang Ao's scumbag, although people issued an official statement saying that they had no relationship, the sunset and afterglow still lost their popularity because of this, and they were torn apart by their opponents and voted last.
Since then, people have continued to abuse Zhao Junxin's Weibo account.
She was torn back by her growing fan base.
Zhao Jun received a call from Zhang Ao after a long absence.
"Jun Xin, I'm sorry." Zhang Ao finally said this sentence across the phone.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Jun asked coldly. She knew Zhang Ao well, this person would never apologize for no reason.
Zhang Ao sighed and wanted to relax and relax the atmosphere, but was stopped by Zhao Junxin's words "I'm very busy, just tell me."
Zhang Ao sighed repeatedly and begged: "Jun Xin, can you make a statement..."
"Clean up for you and Song Feifei?" Zhao Junxin asked sarcastically.
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Ao bowed his head in shame, feeling that it was too much.
"Jun Xin, I know I'm wronged. But can I do me a favor and make a statement, I can pay you 200,000 as a thank you." Zhang Ao said.
He thought that as long as Zhao Junxin didn't say anything, the things he did in the past would never be discovered and he could make a glorious debut. But I didn't expect that someone among the music fans would find clues, and his past was picked up.
The company killed him and refused to admit it, but his life was not easy either. As long as Zhao Junxin comes out to "clarify" and say that there is no emotional dispute between them, then the crisis will be resolved.
Zhao Jun said indifferently: "I don't think I heard about this. I said, I don't want to have anything to do with you other than music."
"I can help arrange your participation in the reality show!" Zhang Ao hurriedly said, "Jun Xin, please! Just a word."
"Do you think I would miss a reality show?" Zhao Junxin asked.
Zhang Ao was silent. Yes, if Zhao Jun wanted to participate in a reality show, if she wanted to be popular as much as herself, she would not leave the team and part ways with Sunset and Sunset.
*
Sunset Afterglow's popularity fell to the bottom, but with the company's protection, it was impossible to leave.
People are forgetful, and the company is already planning a whitewash.
Zhang Ao is a man, and although Huaxin is reviled by some people, he is indeed charming in the eyes of others. His popularity rose strangely. However, Feifei Song was flopped to the bottom, and extreme fans were calling Feifei Song to get out of the sunset.
No one expected this development.
Zhao Junxin doesn't care about this, as long as she doesn't get involved.
The busy life continues until the winter, the winter vacation is coming, and the new year is approaching.
There were many performance opportunities a few years ago. Zhao Junxin not only ran in this city, but also went to other cities to participate in performances.
In the past six months, she has met many friends, including different types of singers, musicians, LiveHouse owners, and music producers. She absorbs the essence from the music of her friends, and learns from the experience through exchanges. Zhao Junxin is slowly growing.
Many bands wanted Zhao Junxin to become a regular member, but Zhao Junxin was still studying and did not agree.
In fact, Zhao Junxin doesn't think that she doesn't match the style of these bands, and she hasn't found her favorite band yet.
During the Spring Festival, Zhao Junxin spent time in the music scene with Yao Jiaming and several musicians who could not go home.
Without family, it is inevitable to be lonely and lonely, but with like-minded friends, everyone cooks New Year's Eve dinner together, sings, plays the piano, and plays games together, and the festival is also a happy time.
There were no performances during the Spring Festival, Zhao Junxin originally planned to find a place to travel.
Then, the second-year client who had racked her brains sent another assignment on New Year's Eve.
Instead of letting him compose the bass solo this time, let her write a song and sing it.
The other party also gave a musical motive and asked to create with the theme of evolution. Songs should be based on popular singing, and take into account the bel canto and extreme voice.
This requirement is not an exaggeration, it is a common deduction method of gothic metal. Moreover, the ultra-high price of 50,000 US dollars is also irresistible. Taking advantage of the Spring Festival holiday, Zhao Junxin concentrated on this order.
After half a month, the work was handed in. The other party was very happy to give the money, and there was no news again.
The winter break is over and a new semester begins.
After completing the credits in the last semester, it is easy to study in the next semester. The minor language level test and the translation level test are held one after another. Zhao Junxin successfully obtained the certificate, adding chips to his resume. One day she can't make it in the music industry, and she can still make a living by translating this bowl of rice.
After half a period, the second client sent a task for the third time.
This time, he sent her the sheet music. The melody for the keyboard, guitar, and drums had already been composed, and the lyrics were also ready, but the bass part was missing.
The other party asked her to compose and sing bass chords in the same style.
Zhao Junxin understood at this moment that the other party must be a band. It is estimated that the creative task is too heavy, so it is outsourced at a high price.
This time the task was simple, but the other party gave more money. 100,000 US dollars demanded delivery within three days. Of course, she would not refuse within the scope of her ability.
In less than three days, the task was completed in one day.
$100,000 arrived.
The next day, an email left her completely confused.
The second-year client sent her an in-site email through Fantasia.
"Dear Miss Zhao Junxin, congratulations on passing our entry test! Welcome to our band!
-saint"
Zhao Jun's mind was full of question marks.
Saints? The Saints she knew?
Saints, a new-generation metal band founded in the extreme cold of Finland with members from all over the world?
That young group whose technical ability can rank among the top ten in the world and dare to challenge their predecessors?
The saint who is popular all over the world and still maintains a unique metal style after stepping into the mainstream music scene?
"A liar." Zhao Jun was suspicious.
Who recruits team members like this? !
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
sorry for being late
To clarify, this Saints band is made up by me, if there is a band with the same name, it is purely coincidental.
