Sweetness: S

Chapter 43

This band is called TAKEME, and what they want to recruit is a temporary lead singer.

The reason is clearly written in the ad: the lead singer is an idiot, he drank too much and caused liver cirrhosis, and he needed to be hospitalized for two months, but the band signed a three-year fixed performance contract with several bars, and they couldn't afford it if no one sang Liquidated damages, so it was necessary to recruit a temporary replacement for the lead singer.

Liang Tianyi watched the TAKEME scene, the song is good, the lead singer is a bearded muscular man, and his voice is also deep and affectionate, completely different from Liang Tianyi's current style of music.

The bartender's proposal was obviously a joke, but he never expected that Liang Tianyi would actually go to the job application site.

His Asian face and figure made him stand out among a group of rough interviewees.Everyone couldn't help laughing when he stood in front of the band members with taut forearms and tattoos.

Liang Tianyi didn't say anything, and started singing TAKEME's song with the guitar in his arms. After singing a few lines, the lazy team members straightened up.

Although his voice is not in the same style as the lead singer, his emotional handling, singing skills, and intonation are all very beautiful. In addition, he himself made some changes to the song, making this song more suitable for his voice.

It was as if the song was tailor-made for him.

Originally, I just wanted to hire someone who can sing and sing well to replace me for two months, but I didn't expect to get a treasure.The captain is a very pragmatic person. After thinking about it, he rationally began to analyze the pros and cons with the members: "He is incompatible with the status quo of our band, but after all, it has only been two months, so it is an early adopter period for everyone. This guy's face and Singing skills are all selling points, there is such a big contrast, maybe more people will come to see it, all in all, the short-term advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

The members who were almost cheated by the lead singer and had no money to eat agreed to his joining without saying a word. Everyone excitedly began to discuss the next performance. Liang Tianyi stood there quietly, not surprised that he was selected.

From a popular singer in China to a temporary lead singer of an underground band in Los Angeles, such a gap in status does not make him uncomfortable at all.

Just considering that there are many Chinese in Los Angeles, and according to the degree of Liang Tianyi's popularity, it is impossible that no one here knows him, so Liang Tianyi proposed that he wear a mask every time he performs.

The sense of gap that the captain planned at the beginning failed to materialize, but in his opinion, Asians are reserved and shy. As long as his performance is correct, he will turn a blind eye to such a mysterious style.

Hearing that he had successfully applied for the job, the bartender was so surprised that he filled his glass with vodka.In order to know the effect of this young man with half the figure of those muscular men on the stage, he simply switched classes with his colleagues, occupied the front row of the audience area early in the first performance, and supported TAKEME with his own money The first show after changing the lead singer.

It was a weekend and the bar was almost full.Everyone heard that TAKEME had a new lead singer, and when the already restless crowd saw the young Asians walking on stage, there was a lot of commotion.

Some even whistle viciously.

After not standing in the center of the small stage for a long time, Liang Tianyi was a little nervous when he spoke.

He grabbed the microphone stand, half-closed his eyes, and imagined Ning Shuangxi sitting in the crowd, his slightly parched throat finally relaxed as his emotions eased.

At the end of the first song, the intense drum beats still kept vibrating the eardrums, and the sound that pierced through all the instruments also penetrated into the hearts of the listeners.

The bartenders in the audience were dumbfounded, and cheers and whistles rang out in a slow response.

A good singer deserves respect no matter what his background is.Some people who were chatting quieted down, and began to concentrate on enjoying the strange band performance of this combination.

This night, the bar was not only full, but someone put the band's video on YOUTUBE.The next day, the bar manager who received feedback from various sources urgently contacted Captain TAKEME, asking him if he could add another game tonight.Because some people bought their CD last night, and when they went home and listened to it, they found that the original song was quite different from the live version, and they strongly requested to record the live version.But the store manager knew that the temporary lead singer would only stay for two months at most, and after recording the album, everyone left, and if the old lead singer was replaced, the scene might be a disaster.So I can only discuss with the captain, and respond to everyone's enthusiasm by performing on-site for a limited time.

Liang Tianyi didn't have much opinion on the need for the band to increase their performances.

At this time, he was still familiar with other songs of TAKEME.He has long found that the band's works are quite distinctive.On the surface, this is a band that has been in bars for three or four years but has never been tepid.To be honest, their abilities in all aspects are very average. In Los Angeles, where talents are everywhere, they can even be rated as mid-to-lower abilities.

But if it is really a band that dawdles, it is impossible to hang out in Bar Street for such a long time.

Liang Tianyi found out at the first time that their songs have a rough and illusory feeling, not the simple sharpness and criticism common in rock music, but more like newly brewed wine, the taste is jerky and intense, but spicy and refreshing .

This kind of song can be played with a much better effect than the original one with only a slight modification of the arrangement. Coupled with Liang Tianyi's rich performance and singing experience, it makes this bottle of easily intoxicating wine more delicious.

For the second performance, two-thirds of the seats were removed from the bar, and some people could only stand outside and wait.

Takeme's song was adapted by Liang Tianyi, and the effect was surprising, not to mention the other members of the band.After the live performance, the reaction from the audience made Liang Tianyi return to the time when he was playing in the band in a trance.

Without the constraints of an agency, without the subjective pursuit of fans, without the burden of being an idol, he lost the shackles that the outside world had put on him in the past few years.The temperature at the scene was suffocating because of his more and more unrestrained performances. Liang Tianyi simply tore off his shirt, revealing that although he was not as muscular as the muscular man behind him, his muscles were still strong enough, and he frantically played the The guitar that accompanied him throughout his adolescence.

If he didn't still retain a little bit of reason, I'm afraid he would even take off his mask.

Sweat dripped from his temples to the ground along his chin, and the crazy female fans in the audience stretched out their hands, wanting to touch this Asian youth who was so sexy that they were going crazy.Liang Tianyi just raised his head and looked at the dark heads.

The person he imagined was not in it.He didn't stand by the stage and listen to him sing with a smile like he remembered.

I want to see you.

This love sentence is held in his chest, surging but has nowhere to say it.

A group of people celebrated in the lounge after the show.

The captain put his arm around Liang Tianyi's shoulders, and asked again: "You really only work for two months?" Although this remark was a bit betrayal of the original lead singer, but the performance of this Asian young man was too good. If it was him, maybe they would go away. It doesn't take long to hit the big stage...

"Well, the fourth semester of school will be very busy." Liang Tianyi did not hide his studies at the conservatory of music, and he once applied to the lead singer to submit the band's songs as an arrangement assignment.

Everyone was a little bit sorry, but more admirable. For those who dropped out of high school to play bands, the Conservatory of Music is really a holy place that is out of reach.

Liang Tianyi chuckled: "I think you guys are too self-deprecating. In fact, you are very creative. I haven't had such inspiration for a long time."

Everyone looked at each other, and the captain smiled meaningfully: "This is the inspiration God gave us."

Liang Tianyi thought he was a believer, so he politely replied: "It seems that God takes good care of you."

Unexpectedly, the team members burst into laughter.

"You Asians, do you want to play this?" A team member took out a bag of things from his pocket and handed it to him.

Liang Tianyi took it, his pupils shrank slightly.

This is a pack of genuine big piss. Although Liang Tianyi has never touched it before, there are people in the domestic circle who smoke it. It is not difficult to recognize it.

"This is our God!" After the captain finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Liang Tianyi rubbed the contraband in his hands, and raised the corners of his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

He used to disdain this kind of thing that would make people lose control of their behavior. He used to think that such forbidden items were just an excuse for some people's weak will.

Until now.

He was a little shaken.

For the third and fourth performances, TAKEME has won unprecedented praise.Liang Tianyi has adapted eight works, which can be said to have raised the quality of the band's entire songs to a professional level.Many talent scouts went backstage and wanted to sign the entire band. After learning that Liang Tianyi was acting as a temporary substitute, they ran to find Liang Tianyi, but of course they were rejected.

However, compared with the thriving band, Liang Tianyi has fallen into a dead end.

The more successful the adaptation, the more he felt that the song he created was a piece of shit.

It's easy to add icing on the cake, but what about himself?He is like a depleted soul, no matter how hard he tries, he can't find the original amazing inspiration.

He dropped the pen dejectedly.

The evening light from outside shines into the room, which is clearly the end of winter, but such a setting sun makes people feel cold.

He took out the unopened package of leaves, and felt that he was just like Faust, tempted by the devil to find a new world.

Or... just try it once?

Once he won't be addicted, as long as he knows whether the people at Takeme are telling the truth, he will throw away the remaining leaves...

As soon as he tore open the package, the mobile phone placed by his lap vibrated suddenly, waking him up violently.I took the phone and saw that there was an unfamiliar number on it, so after I got connected, my tone was very stiff, with a kind of impatience to expel: "Who is there?"

"God, I'm at the airport in Los Angeles. Have you finished class yet? Where is your home? I'll go find you." After a series of questions, the things in his hands fell to the ground. Liang Tianyi stood up and took them quickly. The coat went outside.

"Shuang... Shuangxi, why are you here?" He stuttered in shock.

"There are only five days of vacation, and it will take three days to fly, so come here quickly! We can see each other for no more than two days." Ning Shuangxi looked at his watch, "Why don't you give me an address, we are in the middle Meet somewhere worthwhile. I haven't had dinner yet."

Liang Tianyi's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure out where the middle value was, but he had already driven on the road, so he could only call a friend for help. After confirming a restaurant with good taste, he quickly sent the location to Ning Shuangxi.

When he really saw Ning Shuangxi who didn't even have a suitcase at the entrance of the restaurant, his eyes instantly turned red.

Only when he saw this person did he know that he had been wronged all along.

Because of some false accusations, she stayed away from her stage, her career, and her lover.After finally being able to meet the other party, I can only be a distant audience, and I can't even congratulate him in public.

Being smeared by the overwhelming news, splashed with ink, excluded by the Americans, and abandoned by the god of inspiration, nothing can compare to the grievance that Ning Shuangxi tasted at this moment.

It turns out that some grievances will only come out when they see people who can appease them.

After holding it in for so long, he thought he was strong enough, but he was just waiting for the person who could hug him and ask "what's the matter" to comfort him.

He stood a few meters away from Ning Shuangxi with red eyes, and he didn't dare to go up for a while, for fear that he would really be ashamed and cry.

"What are you doing?" Ning Shuangxi looked at him like a little daughter-in-law, dumbfounded, and took a few steps forward. Just as she was about to reach out to touch his hair, she heard the young man who was close to madness say: "Kiss me!" Just a moment. Now. Here."

"..." Ning Shuangxi widened her eyes and subconsciously looked around. Fortunately, there were no Chinese.

"Homosexuality is legal here and you can get married, Mr. Ning Shuangxi."

Is this guy completely insane? !Ning Shuangxi was quite frightened, and wanted to drag him to a place where there were not so many people to comfort him, but the other party grabbed him backhand: "So, give me a kiss."

He said kiss me.But he didn't take the initiative to ask for a kiss.

Just like an awkward child, you have to come forward and take the initiative to coax it.How much grievance is in my heart!

Ning Shuangxi has tried hundreds of kissing scenes, but she still feels shy in front of people she cares about, not to mention that there are people coming and going around her, and it's not work, so her skin is even thinner.

Even so, he still took a step forward, leaned his upper body forward, turned his face slightly, and said "you are ridiculous" with a trembling voice while kissing his lips.

Liang Tianyi grabbed his hand and interlocked his fingers, pulling him closer and making the kiss deeper.

The part of my mind that had been stiff all of a sudden suddenly exploded like a bursting firework.

While kissing, he thought, this thing is more addictive than big worms.

But more willingly.
