Chapter 58 "Only need to sing four lines"
soon.
The two 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.
"Mr. Tan, do you think the song is more important to a performance, 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 must not be 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 by 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, the same goes for riding the wind and singing."
Li Jinglin's words made Tan Jing couldn't help but nod.
In fact, many singing artists and instrumentalists are like this.
If you can't find a suitable song, even if you are very strong, it is easy to be unknown.
But once there is a suitable song, a qualitative change can immediately occur.
"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 own strength, and it is very difficult to find a good sword.
Magic weapons can make ordinary people lose their hair, but swordsmiths feel that only excellent swordsmen can fully realize the potential of their swords.
"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 staves and lyrics.
Tan Jing took it over and took a look, frowning slightly, and realized that things were not that simple.
Immediately, he quickly glanced at Li Jinglin.
"Good boy, this song is difficult to read!"
Li Jinglin smiled without saying a word.
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 little bit.
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 look carefully.
There are a lot of phonemes that need to be converted with the same character sound.
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 red all over the sky, Jiuer, I will take you to a distant place. 】
Then how many times do you repeat the last sentence? "Jiu'er, Gaoliang, is this "Red Sorghum" that Teacher Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature?"
"Ok!"
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 it all 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 deep breath.
Minimalist?
Do not! 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 thoughts and emotions! The shortest text, just sketched the scene with a few strokes.
From the text description.
It can almost be said that apart from a little parting feeling, there is no mood swing at all.
And the thematic motives of the music are similarly minimal.
Just made some color guides.
all emotions.
All need singers to take responsibility independently to create a magnificent story content! but.
Such a challenge, on the contrary, aroused Tan Jing's interest.
And it is an extremely strong interest!
"Come on! I'll try it first!"
The more Tan Jing watched it, the more difficult it became, 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 a few times, Tan Jing immediately experienced the difficulty of this song even more.
Sing down, it's really simple.
But any individual, after listening to it several times, can quickly remember the melody and be able to sing along.
But if you really want to sing about emotions, sing about the progression and contrast of emotions. Difficult! "Don't tell me, there is really something!"
Tan Jing became more serious.
It's the most critical part of the climax, the part of emotional catharsis.
It is necessary to repeat the same sentence over and over again, but sing it completely differently, with extremely strong emotional changes.
This song.
It's like asking people to use the same "fuck".
to express different emotional changes.
It can be "Fuck!! Fuck!!", or it can be "Fuck?" "Fuck." "Fuck~~ Fuck!!"
"I kind of feel that way."
Tan Jing sighed.
I feel like I need to flip through the book.
At that moment, I couldn’t help but sigh.
The design of this melody is really ingenious!
The beginning is an upward four-degree jump, which has the taste of northern folk music.
Bold, cheerful, and masculine.
It hints at Jiu'er's character.
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 hints of tragedy.
"This is wonderful!"
Tan Jing couldn't help admiring.
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 was as if the ups and downs of Jiu'er's fate line had truly become 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, there are really too many ideas to operate.
"Your accompaniment and 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 kind of arrangement will pull your hips in place.
But if the accompaniment can be suppressed by one person, then this method of arrangement can best express the emotions in the vocals and provide progressive assistance for emotions.
Very adventurous attempt! And Li Jinglin is not even satisfied with this.
"Teacher Tan Jing, tell me."
Li Jinglin pinched his chin, thoughtful.
The words she said even made the corners of Tan Jing's eyes twitch.
"Shall I let you fight Suona?"
"?"
Tan Jing looked at Li Jinglin with a strange expression.
There is a saying that is good.
Qin matches Se, Sheng matches Xiao, only suona matches firecrackers.
Well, you are really welcome, but you trust me too 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.
In the end, the two had a good time.
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.
to later.
Tan Jing would even suddenly prolong and pause somewhere.
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 a decision!
The sooner this song is sung on the stage of "Singer", 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 joined hands to shake people.
What is this concept? The suona was found in the national orchestra.
Strings and wind instruments do not need to be reorganized, so they directly pulled ready-made young men from the Philharmonic.
The TV station also allocated some resources.
Several rock band musicians 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.
Soon Li Jinglin and Tan Jing felt a little unbelievable.
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.
Two 10 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 the initial ensemble, to the ensemble without any problems such as wrong sounds, mistakes, omissions, and incoordination, the completion rate has reached 70% of the time.
It only took one morning.
This speed, even those who participated in the performance, find it incredible.
Afternoon and evening careful polishing.
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.
During the rehearsal on the third day, Li Jinglin couldn't find any other faults. The current performance effect has fully met my inner requirements.
"Outrageous, very outrageous."
