Chapter Sixty-Six: Diao

  The phone hung up with a click.

  Li Qian turned around with a smile all over his face, "I found an old friend that I haven't met in many years, let him try."

  That big ice heard the words and immediately exploded, "Yo, I don't believe it! That's okay... Old Fu, you don't need to pull me, bro doesn't have any other meaning, I just want to wait here and see who the hell he is!"

  Li Qian heard this and smiled.

  Then, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at him without any reserve, put down his hand, and calmly said in the midst of everyone's attention: "People like you, who think they have some level, some ability, and after mixing for many years, think they have a so-called reputation in the industry, can ignore even the most basic cooperative spirit, even the most basic work rules..."

  He shook his head and smiled, "Actually, I can directly kick you out, but never mind. Since you think you're the best bassist in Jinan Prefecture, since you think that without you, I won't be able to find a usable bassist in Jinan Prefecture, then fine, you stay here and wait to see if I can find someone, wait to see if the person I find is better than you!"

  I don't know if it was Li Qian's words that were too plain, too revealing, and too unfeeling, but they somehow stunned the other person. Anyway, after hearing his speech, Da Bing was stunned, hesitated for a long time without speaking, and finally just nodded perfunctorily, saying viciously: "Fine, you say I don't follow the rules? Then I'll wait and see!"

  Fu Zhenbang, who was originally going to pull him out, "heh heh" twice, let go of him and couldn't help but look at Li Qian in surprise.

  In Jinan Prefecture, finding a good bass is not difficult, but finding a bass that can suppress the big ice steadily is indeed a difficult task. However, just now when Li Qian made a phone call, although he couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, from the sound of "Cao Ge" and the tone of Li Qian's speech, Fu Zhenbang felt that he had vaguely guessed something.

  It's just that it's a bit hard to believe!

  The recording studio, which covers an area of over 100 square meters, fell eerily silent.

  Da Bing was holding a bass, staring blankly at Li Qian. He kept staring at him without blinking.

  Li Qianzhen simply ignored everyone and sat alone on a high stool in the central position.

  The others in the room couldn't help but glance at this one and then that one, like the Wu sisters. They would occasionally whisper to each other, their faces showing concern.

  It was said to be twenty minutes, and it really was twenty minutes.

  After about twenty minutes of silence throughout the room, suddenly, the door to the recording studio was pushed open. Cao Yun walked in.

  He still looks the same, wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt with his own doodle printed on the front chest, a pair of light blue washed jeans on the lower body, and a pair of sky blue sports shoes on his feet.

  This time, however, he had a bass in his arms.

  Suddenly, as if a stone had been cast into the quiet lake, the room was stirred up in an instant.

  "Oh, Old Cao... it's actually you?"

  "Hey, Cao? Teacher Cao?"

  As soon as Li Qian entered the room and saw the person, he was just quietly sitting in front of the piano, that middle-aged man, who was introduced by Fu Zhenbang as Professor Wang Huaiyu, suddenly stood up with a smile and walked over. Li Jindong was stunned for a moment, seeing Cao Yun, his eyes lit up instantly, and he hurried to welcome him, while Fu Zhenbang took a step forward and grasped Cao Yun's hand tightly.

  "Teacher Cao, it's been a year since you last came. I've been looking forward to when we can invite you back again to give us some guidance. Today you've finally arrived!"

  "Lao Cao, what's going on? Are you playing bass again?"

  "Hello, Teacher Cao. I am Li Jinlong from Huaguo Records. This time I came to Jinan Prefecture, originally wanted to visit you, but was afraid of disturbing you, didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet you here."

  Cao Ting still had that expressionless serious face, whoever spoke to him. He just nodded slightly, except when Professor Wang Huaiyu extended his hand for a handshake, after which he forced a slight smile.

  After everyone finished speaking, he hugged his guitar and nodded slightly to the others in the recording studio, saying "hello". Then he turned around and walked over to Li Qian, "Where's the score?"

  Li Qian picked up the score and handed it over, "The middle part is not needed at all, just the front and back, I need you to show off that bass energy... Is 10 minutes enough?"

  Cao Ting took over the score, first glanced at it and said: "Okay." Then he looked at it seriously.

  On this side, Li Qian pretended that Da Bing didn't exist in the recording studio, calmly clapping his hands. When everyone's attention shifted over, he said calmly: "Everyone, sorry about the little disturbance earlier, but it's okay. This time we can let our producer Mr. Li Jinlong treat us instead, he's richer than me and will definitely make sure you all eat better!"

  Everyone nodded in agreement and smiled, and the originally tense atmosphere in the recording studio suddenly relaxed.

  Li Jinlong smiled and said, "I'm honored to have the opportunity to invite all of you teachers to dinner. However, I think that if I were to pay for it myself, it would not be good enough, and I wouldn't want to offend any of you teachers. So, after I go back, I will definitely ask our boss to sign off on reimbursing us for this dinner..."

  At this point, several people in the room couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Only the bassist, Da Bing, looked embarrassed, his face unable to express whether it was awkwardness or something else. He hesitated and walked over, stopping in front of Cao Yun, before slightly bowing his head and saying: "Teacher Cao... how did you come here?"

  Just this sentence shows that he obviously knows who Cao Ting is just like everyone else in the room.

  But those who know Cao Yun will not forget that he has been out of the rock scene for many years, but the title of national bass top five on his body was played out by performances and recordings at that time, which is not easy to shake off.

  At least Jinan's first Baise is a big ice, absolutely unqualified.

  Cao Ting was looking at the score, didn't have the heart to talk to people, turned his head and took a glance at him, "oh" and nodded, also didn't speak.

  Then he continued, "Ah, Brother Cao, you might not remember me, my name is Da Bing, I was with Hu Yuan and a few others last time. You came to watch our performance and even treated each of us to a drink."

  This time Cao Yun had no choice but to respond. He turned his head around, glanced at the big ice block for a moment, nodded and said "Oh, hello."

  That means Cao Ting seems to have forgotten him.

  At this time, Li Qian looked at him with a faint smile on his face and said: "Sir, next, you can listen in, but please pay attention to the order. Also, please return the score in your hand, thank you for your cooperation."

  After finishing speaking, he didn't look back and patted his hands, saying: "Everyone, please get ready. Once Teacher Cao is familiar with the score, we will resume rehearsals immediately!"

  At this time, Cao Ting also didn't know where he was looking and raised his head to glance at Li Qian.

  Li Qian also turned around and looked at him, couldn't help but throw up his hands and ask: "What's wrong?"

  Cao Yun shook his head, but lowered his head and took a glance, then raised his head again and said: "You actually still write songs about this road?"

  Li Qian smiled upon hearing this, "What's wrong with this road? Is there a problem with what I wrote?"

  Cao Yun shook his head, tapping on the score with his hand and said: "Written well. I didn't expect that you are more versatile than me!"

  As they spoke, he leaned forward on his own initiative, pointing to the first line of the chorus in the score and said: "Are you sure you want to handle it this way?"

  Li Qian nodded, if it were someone else, he might not have bothered to explain, but for Cao Yun, he was still willing to say another sentence, "What I want is that kind of youthful yet mischievous feeling."

  Cao Ting nodded and stopped talking, continuing to look at the score.

  But Li Qian still smiled at him, waiting for his new question at any time.

  Although they haven't known each other for long, Cao Teng's personality is really too outstanding, so Li Qian can't help but remember him. According to Yu Bojun's words, this person, even if you let him play a dead body, he must figure out the whole story, otherwise he won't know how to handle the posture, eyes and expression of the dead body.

  When Li Qian first heard this remark, he just wanted to laugh, but once they became familiar with each other, Li Qian soon discovered that Lao Yu's description was actually a compliment!

  As expected, Cao Ting flipped through the few pages of scores and would occasionally express his own opinions, even if those places had nothing to do with his bass at all. But Li Qian didn't show any impatience, just smiled and answered one by one.

  Then, after finally finishing reading and asking questions, he said: "I have no more questions."

  Li Qian smiled and said, "Are you sure you're still okay?"

  Cao Ting still had an expressionless face and calmly said: "Try it out and you'll know?"

  Li Qian nodded and said: "Two requirements, first, no skipping squares, second..."

  Cao Ting nodded, turned his head and swept a glance around the room, immediately capturing his own recording position, then handed the score to Li Qian and walked over.

  From head to toe, that big ice was always standing not far away. He could obviously see that Cao Yun and Li Qian were familiar with each other, so after hesitating again and again, he never spoke up again.

  At this time, Cao Tong stood at the recording position. Li Qian clapped his hands and said, "OK, everyone, 'Sisters Stand Up', get ready, let's try again... GO!"

  A wild and soaring bass suddenly sounded.

  Almost everyone in the recording studio was staring at Cao Tian, but Cao Tian had her eyes closed.

  The same melody, coming from his hands, immediately added a touch of inexplicable feeling - this feeling is just like the feeling that Cao Yun himself gives people, which is, charming!

  Bass's low pitch, what you've learned can be played out, but the flavor of that swaying and swinging under the low pitch is not something everyone can play out - but for Cao Yun, this is obviously just child's play!

  Da Bing's face turned bright red, his expression stiff.

  After this segment of Bass Show was over, Cao Ting opened his eyes and looked at Li Qian with a cool smile.

  Li Qian smiled and shook his head.
