soon.
The two of them came to the piano room.
Li Jinglin simply played a few scales to test the sound, and Tan Jing also sang along, opening her voice slightly.
At this time, Li Jinglin suddenly asked Tan Jing curiously.
"Teacher Tan, do you think... for a performance, which is more important, the song or the singer?"
Tan Jing's eyelids twitched.
Musical performances are all about expressing emotions.
Singers and music complement each other and are both important.
But when Li Jinglin mentioned this question, Tan Jing knew that the answer was definitely not that simple.
After all, both of them have reached the state of "Looking at mountains is still mountains, looking at water is still water".
The conclusion seems to be the same, but the core is completely different.
Therefore, this simple question raised by Li Jinglin is not easy to answer.
"At the beginning, I felt that the performers and singers were the most important, because a capable singer can make even bad songs look good."
Teacher Tan Jing didn't speak, but Li Jinglin started talking himself.
"But as I progressed later, I discovered that it is more important to find works that suit my own style and can have a chemical reaction with my own style. Some violinists are very strong, but once they find the wrong direction, they can easily become unknown. But Once you find the right path, you will be riding the wind in an instant...the same goes for singing."
Li Jinglin's words made Tan Jing couldn't help but nod.
In fact, many singing artists and instrumental artists are like this.
If you can't find a suitable song, even if you are very strong, it is easy to become unknown.
But once you have the right song, you can immediately make a qualitative change.
"It wasn't until I got involved in creation again that I gained more knowledge by combining the two perspectives."
Songs and singers are like swords and swordsmen.
A powerful swordsman can naturally use any grass, wood, bamboo or stone as a sword, but if he is equipped with a peerless magic weapon, wouldn't it be even more powerful?
A swordsman will feel that having a magic weapon can greatly increase his strength, and it is hard to find a good sword.
Divine weapons can make even ordinary people blow their hair and cut off their hair, but swordsmiths will feel that only excellent swordsmen can fully realize the potential of the swords they make.
"From the perspective of different strengths and different quality works, the conclusion of this issue is completely different."
Li Jinglin took out a stack of documents.
The file contains music scores and lyrics.
Tan Jing took it over and took a look, frowning slightly, and realized that things were not that simple.
Immediately, he quickly took a look at Li Jinglin.
"Good boy, this song is difficult to read!"
Li Jinglin smiled and said nothing.
The song title on the score is clearly "Jiuer".
Actually.
The melody on the chart is very clean.
Very clean, even simple.
Not so many twists and turns.
The theme and motivation of the music is just one paragraph.
Just a short paragraph.
The 8-bar melody is not even a melody, it can only be regarded as a musical motive.
It's so streamlined that it even feels like it might not be a complete piece of music.
But take a closer look.
There are many phonemes that need to be converted for the same pronunciation.
Moreover, after the rising tone, there are also highlighted emotional progression symbols and exaggerated volume change symbols.
The lyrics are even more minimalist.
[The fields around me, the fragrance of jujube flowers at hand.
The sorghum is ripe and the sky is red. Jiuer, I will send you to a distant place. 】
Then how many times do you repeat the last sentence?
"Jiu'er, Sorghum, is this the "Red Sorghum" that Teacher Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature?"
"Um!"
Tan Jing raised her head, her eyes a little solemn.
In the novel Red Sorghum, the content expressed and the separation between life and death are extremely strong and profound.
To sing everything in just a few lines? !
"Gone?"
"Gone."
Li Jinglin nodded.
"It only takes four lines."
After receiving Li Jinglin's accurate answer, Tan Jing also took a breath of air.
Minimalist?
No!
Precisely because the music chart looks extremely simple, the actual difficulty of singing will be completely opposite!
Extremely difficult!
Because, Li Jinglin cut off the "lyrics" that best express his thoughts and emotions!
The briefest text, just a few strokes, casually sketched out the scene.
Judging from the text description.
It can almost be said that except for a slight sense of separation, there is no emotional fluctuation at all.
The theme motivation of the music is also minimalist.
Just some color guidance.
All emotions.
It is up to the singers to take the responsibility independently to create a magnificent story!
but.
Such a challenge piqued Tan Jing's interest.
And it is an extremely strong interest!
"Come! Let me try it first!"
The more Tan Jing watched it, the more complicated it seemed, and she couldn't wait to start singing.
This tune is not difficult to find. Just give it a basic note and listen to the melody. With Tan Jing's ability, she will be able to sing it immediately.
But after singing it a few times, Tan Jing immediately experienced the difficulty of this song even more.
Sing it, it's really easy.
Anyone can quickly remember the melody and sing along after listening to it several times.
But if you really want to sing about feelings, the progression and contrast of emotions...
It’s hard to go to heaven!
"Don't tell me, there really is something!"
Tan Jing became more serious.
We have reached the most critical climax, the part of emotional catharsis.
It is necessary to repeat the same words over and over again, but sing them with completely different and extremely strong emotional changes.
This song.
It's like letting people use the same "fuck".
to express different emotional changes.
It can be "Fuck!! Fuck!!", or it can be "Fuck?" "Fuck..." "Fuck~ Fuck!!"
"I feel a little bit like that."
Tan Jing sighed.
I feel like I need to read a book.
At that moment, I couldn’t help but sigh.
The design of this melody is really ingenious!
It starts with an upward four-degree jump, which has a strong flavor of northern folk music.
Bold, cheerful, and masculine.
It hints at Jiu'er's character traits.
But in the next development, it was after a sudden big jump.
Here comes another five-degree downward progression!
Just like the fall of fate, it is full of tragic hints.
"This is wonderful!"
Tan Jing couldn't help but praise.
Even if you don’t listen.
Just from the height changes in the arrangement of notes, you can easily see this "up and down" feeling.
It's as if the ups and downs of Jiu'er's destiny have truly turned into musical notes.
Moreover, this kind of folk minor style with G-life romantic narrative is not only full of national atmosphere, but also can make people naturally feel a sense of "familiarity".
"Teacher Tan Jing, this time, the melody and emotional catharsis are completely left to you."
Li Jinglin chuckled.
With the cooperation of a big devil, you really can have too many ideas to operate.
"Your accompaniment arrangement will not have any melody lines that are the same as yours. Even the harmonies will be different from the emotions expressed in your singing."
"Your vocals tell the story of Jiu'er, and my idea for the accompaniment and arrangement is...to completely enhance the atmosphere, atmosphere, and even the background of the story, the general environment, etc."
Tan Jing nodded.
This is a completely different attempt.
If you can't sing well, this way of arranging the music will make your hips stretch in place.
But if one person can suppress the accompaniment, then this arrangement method can best highlight the emotions in the vocals and provide progressive emotional assistance.
A very risky attempt!
And Li Jinglin is not even satisfied with this.
"Teacher Tan Jing, you said..."
Li Jinglin pinched his chin, thoughtfully.
The words she said even made the corners of Tan Jing's eyes twitch.
"Do you want... let you have a fight with Suona?"
"?"
Tan Jing looked at Li Jinglin with a strange expression.
There is a saying that goes well.
The piano is paired with the harp, the sheng is paired with the flute, and only the suona is paired with the firecrackers.
Okay, you are so rude, but you believe me so much.
but......
"beat!"
Tan Jing waved her hand vigorously.
At the moment, the two continued to rehearse and get used to each other.
Li Jinglin played simple accompaniment.
Teacher Tan Jing, on the other hand, keeps looking for the feeling over and over again.
By the end, the two of them were having fun.
Li Jinglin would even deliberately slow down the notes, then suddenly speed up the music in excitement, and then slow it down again very quickly.
With Li Jinglin's accompaniment, Tan Jing can coordinate instantly to maximize the tension of the song.
Later.
Tan Jing would even suddenly make a long note or pause in a certain place.
And Li Jinglin was also able to react very quickly and cooperate.
The songs are getting better and better.
At that moment, Tan Jing made her decision!
The sooner this song is sung on the "Singer" stage, the better!
At that moment, the two of them worked together to pull up the backing band.
If you want it, do your best!
Since you want to sing, you must give the singers in the entertainment industry a little shock.
The two national teams teamed up to shake people up.
What is this concept?
I got the suona from the Chinese orchestra.
The strings and wind instruments did not need to be arranged, so they directly recruited ready-made talents from the Philharmonic Orchestra.
The TV station also allocated some resources.
Several musicians from rock bands were sent over...
then.
Move when you say it.
The two began to find someone to rehearse.
Li Jinglin originally thought that this week's new issue of "Singer" might not catch up and would have to wait until next week.
But I never expected that the rehearsal progress would be so fast.
Even Li Jinglin and Tan Jing felt a little incredible.
On the morning of the first day of rehearsal, everyone gathered together.
From the unfamiliar, to the end of the individual sight-reading their own parts.
twenty minutes.
From the end of the individual sight-reading part to the time when you can start playing together again.
It's an hour and a half.
From being able to barely perform in a preliminary ensemble, to having no problems such as wrong notes, omissions, or coordination, the achievement reached 70% of the time.
It only took one morning.
Even those involved in the performance found this speed incredible.
In the afternoon, careful polishing in the evening.
The next day was full-day non-stop training.
On the third day, Li Jinglin suddenly discovered...
It seems that I can already perform!
"Quick, too fast!"
Li Jinglin clicked his tongue in surprise.
On the third day of rehearsal, Li Jinglin could no longer find any other faults...
The current performance effect has fully met my inner requirements.
"Outrageous, very outrageous."
