"He can also speak cross talk? His own creation? Besides, why is it called "Guo Xiyou"?" A series of questions came out of Shang Tingfang's mouth.
Director Zhang smiled and said, "Teacher Shang, can you go out and see more of the world occasionally? Apart from music, don't you have any other hobbies in your life?"
"Why do you say that to me?"
"Then do you know who is the most popular crosstalk actor on the market right now?"
"I really don't know, I don't like surfing the Internet very much, and I don't know how to read the entertainment section of newspapers!"
"The most popular cross talk actor is Guo Degang. Mr. Liu's "Guo Xiyou" was created according to his performance style and is tailor-made. If you have time, go and listen to it. It's so fun!"
"The two of you have such a good relationship? Why haven't you heard about it?"
"I'm not sure, but Mr. Liu's comedy creation ability is not bad. I'm looking forward to their performance in this year's Spring Festival Gala."
At this time, Liu Qingshan had already started arranging the music. Since he had a complete template in his mind, this kind of arrangement might as well be said to be that he was assigning tasks to everyone.
But none of the band members will question his assignment. Even if they all have qualifications from the highest music schools in the country, his huge reputation and achievements in the global music industry have proven that he has extremely high qualifications in this area. authoritative.
According to his arrangement, the intro adopts a timbre similar to that of a drum kit. Its strong rhythm and compact drum beats allow the entire music to better guide the listener into a dancing atmosphere.
In this intro, bright and clean percussion and soft keyboard sounds are used to create a positive and light musical atmosphere without making it feel too loud.
The combination of drum beats and note melody in the entire prelude is very clever, perfectly reflecting the charm and characteristics of the "Mohe Dance Hall" dance music. When listening to it, people can't help but want to twist along with the dance music.
The abilities of the musicians Zuo Hong found were extremely professional. After having the entire framework, combined with the guitar playing and singing on the mobile phone, there was no need for Liu Qingshan to assign them one by one in detail. Soon there were people who were following the steps step by step. He struck out the most suitable rhythm and played the chord accompaniment he wanted.
In addition to these people, people from the Philharmonic Orchestra were also invited to listen.
Because according to Liu Qingshan's design, the version on the Spring Festival Gala stage requires live symphony accompaniment.
Only the addition of violins, cellos, clarinets, flutes, saxophones, trumpets, trombones, French horns and other orchestral instruments can maximize the live musical atmosphere.
This is also the biggest difference between Liu Qingshan's version and the original work, because the narrative and melody of "Mohe Ballroom" are very good, and it has met the necessity of launching it in the form of a musical.
And the deeper meaning of this song satisfies the public's collective imagination of beautiful love to a large extent.
One reason is that one of the higher requirements for him on this year's Spring Festival Gala stage includes the form of a musical. With such a formal and grand version, it just meets the needs of the platform.
As for the quality of the song itself, the lyrics are like a sad and tender poem, which tells us a desperate but memorable love story.
Although its chorus only has a few lines, it outlines a very beautiful picture, which includes aurora, village, late night, fireworks, evening stars, eyes, night wind, and beautiful women.
These seemingly unconstrained imaginations give people endless imagination. Everyone will have different pictures in their minds. Good lyrics paired with good music, magnificent orchestral accompaniment and more intuitive dancing are simply a perfect thing. of artwork.
Moreover, the story behind it is even more touching, coupled with good marketing points and emotionally triggering scenes, such a perfect scene paired with this perfectly fitting song will easily resonate with the audience.
This is why so many people, including the stage director and Shang Tingfang, came to find him after hearing only the story and Liu Qingshan's simple playing and singing.
They are the most professional platform operators with extremely rich stage experience, so they can watch everything in the shortest possible time.
To everything this song can bring.
Ignoring the subsequent rehearsal process, during the actual recording, the huge recording studio was quietly filled with no fewer than two hundred people inside and outside.
This is because the space is limited. If the place was big enough, everyone in the entire National Television Building would probably come.
Regarding this, Liu Qingshan did not stop him, and even if sporadic information slipped out, he didn't care much.
Because both he and this platform need proper publicity. What really needs to be kept secret during the Spring Festival Gala are the language and other programs. Music has never been in this industry.
Moreover, in the past two years, the National Television Spring Festival Gala has been using Liu Qingshan's participation as a selling point, so how could it be possible to really protect his relevant information more closely.
During the recording process, the big guys from the national TV station who came one after another realized the horror of this song, because they themselves were deeply moved to the point of crying.
What creates this situation are the very picturesque words and phrases. Every sentence sung is as real as a movie, the truth of love, the truth of regret, the truth of longing, a beautiful and heart-wrenching emotional catharsis.
In addition, its positive energy expression is both novel and direct, and its instant appeal is unparalleled.
The most important point is the contrast between identity and space. Ordinary people and great love constitute an identity contrast, which strengthens the dramatic effect.
The spatial contrast is that the story does not take place in a city we are familiar with, a place that we ordinary people may never visit in our lifetime.
This kind of spatial contrast can produce stronger drama because modern urbanites are too tired of their lives. All their thoughts at work and off work are kidnapped by reality. They are tired and numb, and they are trapped in institutionalization and cannot extricate themselves.
Mohe, a remote border town, may not appear in anyone's dreams. It is precisely because of this contrast in space that we are more easily moved by the warmth of the distance.
Thus came the love story behind this ballad that has been blessed by time. With the back of a lonely dancer dancing in a huge wilderness, the prototype of a sad love story is realistically restored.
The huge impact of the eternity and irreversibility of time is the most touching. Compared with what contemporary people think of as change, forgetting, and rapid iteration are the mainstream of society, only those emotions that have not faded through the passage of time can become the eternal treasure of mankind. legend.
In the current era of involution, people pay more attention to their own hearts. They have shifted from the original goal of the stars, the sea and the unknown universe to paying more attention to their own personal hearts. As a result, their psychology has become softer, more sensitive, and more compassionate.
I imagine every snowflake floating in the gray sky of Mohe Town, isn't it the brightest firework in everyone's heart, which reflects the changes in contemporary people's thinking.
The yearning for true love never goes out of style. The harder it is to get it in real life, the more people hope to satisfy their inner needs through literary and artistic works.
These factors were reflected in the most intuitive reactions of everyone present. Listening to this sad song and experiencing this sad story, it was no longer just fragile girls wiping away tears secretly.
Even the top executives of the platform who came later were moved by this story with tears in their eyes. Compared with the previous visually shocking works, this rich story-based work obviously touched their hearts more.
Wiping the corners of her eyes that had become moist without realizing it, Xi Zai sighed: "Your girls' chorus is well designed. Stories about ordinary people are the most touching. The most authentic voice is also a kind of charm. Listening carefully often makes people feel more relaxed." People are moved unconsciously.”
"Director Yu, the creativity of this design did not come from us, but was arranged by Mr. Liu himself!" Shang Tingfang's voice also contained sobs. "Music that injects true feelings does not require skills, Bao Puhan Only true talent can achieve perfection, and the most powerful thing is to impress people with real details.”
"Oh, your evaluation is high enough."
"Mr. Liu is a music wizard and a marketing expert. He knows how to maximize the impact of his works. Of course, the premise of all this is that the works are good enough. At least I can't write this song. From my personal point of view, he is
artist! "
"There are also artists in pop music?"
"You actually still have such a prejudice? As far as many of his works are concerned, Mr. Liu's creations can change people's understanding of the world and improve people's minds. No musician can be as full of enthusiasm for the world as he is. With love, the music he created changed the values of countless people, and he brought huge changes to the world, do you admit this?"
"It seems like this. His music is not only influential in China, but also overseas markets can be driven by certain forms of his music."
"In our music industry, we have always believed that a musician who can influence the outlook on life of most fans around the world is an artist, regardless of whether it is popular or classical. Although the chain of contempt has always existed objectively, I don't think any of my colleagues will have a deep understanding of him. prejudice."
"What emotions does this song bring you today?"
"I don't deny it, but I believe that there will only be more and more colleagues who hold similar views from now on, because this song will become a classic masterpiece of Chinese pop music with its strong humanistic care and artistic appeal. He is We set off the trend of Chinese pop music with a new national music mark, and then led Chinese pop music to the international stage. From this song, I thought of many of his previous works, and I suddenly realized the truth!"
"I didn't expect you to think so highly of him."
So Xi's surprise was not an act, because he knew Shang Tingfang's personality very well. She had never cared much about daily affairs, and would not easily comment on a certain musician.
And in his mind, this person is a real artist, so in his mind, this kind of person is not always very cautious and will never express his position easily.
