Chapter 187: Singing in Opera?

Listening to Zheng Rong's words, Lin Bao frowned.

The exclusivity agreement is contrary to his philosophy.

He also knows that as soon as the opening of the exclusive agreement is opened, the next step of Li Philharmonic will be like other music platforms, and it will complete its own rise by harming the interests of listeners.

It wasn't what he wanted to see.

And now that he has the right to decide, he definitely won't do it.

"Then we'll talk about it later. ”

Zheng Rong looked at Lin Baodao, "Sony's side is still in initial contact, and after meeting with them later, we will talk about the cooperation method in detail." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for Aunt Rong. ”

Lin Bao nodded.

"In addition, it is the 100 talents plan of the Philharmonic Original Community......"

Zheng Rong said again.

At this point, she was a little helpless.

Now more than a week has passed, and several major music platforms, including Penguin Music, have cultivated more than ten new musicians with the same original musicians. After strong business operations, Weibo topics and Douyin popularity are gradually rising.

And the Philharmonic original musician community, up to now, the 100 people plan is still empty.

Although this week, there are a lot of original music and music clips uploaded by the community, and there are also a lot of quality that can be produced. However, up to now, none of them have been selected by Lin Bao for hundreds of plans.

This is not good for both publicity and stabilizing the original musicians who have been attracted to settle in.

In fact, now public opinion on the Internet has also begun.

However, in this 100-person plan, from the very beginning, the power to choose people was in Lin Bao's hands.

"The 100-person plan is not in a hurry. ”

Lin Bao said, "It's better to have a shortage than an abundance, and the standards of this list can't be let go." ”

In the face of the persistent Lin Bao, Zheng Rong was also helpless.

It is the power of the boss to insist on the idea of their own bottom line, and what they can do is to start from this bottom line and create the maximum benefit for the company as much as possible.

"Then since we want to build this hundred-person plan as a golden signboard, then let's just add some more materials to it!"

Zheng Rong thought for a while, and then said, "The first two, the cat's paw people talked to us about wanting to do some cooperation around the original music community, and we can work with them to create this 100-person plan." Cat's Paw people, if we can bring out enough hot original musicians, they can even provide live broadcast platform contracts, which can be regarded as an original welfare plan for us.

After that, we can also communicate with Douyin. In fact, Douyin is now also expanding its own music section, and there should be cooperation ideas in this regard. Then including station B, some cooperative publicity plans can be carried out. ”

"Well, I think so. Aunt Rong, just start arranging it. ”

Lin Bao nodded.

He doesn't care about promoting welfare, he just needs to keep his own music creation concept.

......

Although no one has been on the list so far in the 100-person plan, Lin Bao is very serious about the original music uploaded by the Philharmonic backstage. Basically, each of them will listen to it for itself and find something more distinctive.

For this reason, Yao Jie even specially asked Philharmonic technology to create an independent backstage for him, so that he could browse the original music uploaded in the background more quickly.

"Master, do you really listen to it every time?"

Cao Zige, who practiced guitar at the barbecue restaurant every afternoon, was a little shocked when he saw Lin Bao's movements.

Once this news spreads, I believe it will definitely be a big news!

Lin Bao is nothing.

In fact, his own musical abilities, including his philosophy of music, are above all others.

It is also sensitive to some new elements of music.

Therefore, even if some content is not very good, but contains some relatively new elements, he will still consider marking it and asking the recommended staff to promote it appropriately.

"After a long time, I finally wanted to look up

You're walking so slowly on the other side

I was left alone in a dilemma between false sleep and reality

......”

A more unique female voice suddenly appeared in Lin Bao's headphones.

Although it was only one paragraph, it immediately attracted his attention.

In terms of style, it takes the folk route.

But like Xu Fan's style, it is free from the pathos of traditional folk songs.

"Flower particles?"

Lin Bao looked at the name of the uploader.

These days, Lin Bao heard a lot of attempts at new folk songs in the background. But only this paragraph can capture his attraction at once.

Although there are only three or four fragments of sentences, it is enough to see this girl's understanding of the new folk songs and the development of her own style.

It is a seedling with potential.

Lin Bao thought about it and hit an A.

For new folk singers, he also has the idea of wanting to support and help.

This A-level is basically equivalent to the reserve of the 100-person plan. After that, the philharmonic side will also focus on it.

"Eh, Brother Qian, why are you here?"

At this time, Cao Zige, who was practicing the guitar next to him, suddenly said.

Lin Bao raised his head and saw a young man with very white skin and a somewhat gentle appearance walking over, and he immediately took off his headphones.

"Zige, I'm here to find Teacher Lin Bao. ”

Because he is the son of his teacher, Dai Qian is naturally familiar with Cao Zige, he smiled and understood his intentions, then looked at Lin Bao, who was wearing headphones and grilling skewers next to him, and bowed his head a little respectfully and said, "Teacher Lin Bao, hello, I am Dai Qian, and it was Teacher Tang who asked me to come to you." ”

"Hello. ”

Lin Bao nodded, Tang Xiulan called him yesterday.

recommended this student who came from a drama troupe and is now a semi-finalist of "Singer's Night".

"Brother Qian, you sit. ”

Cao Zige gave up his place.

looked curiously at Dai Qian, who sat down and chatted with Lin Bao.

His mother's student, who is now also Xiao Yutong, Xu Fan, the opponent of the two of them in this season's "Singer's Night", how could they suddenly come to find their master?

But listen, listen, and he understood.

It turned out that Dai Qian actually wanted to make some innovations in opera and prepare new songs for the next finals, so he came to Lin Bao for advice.

"Mr. Lin Bao, one of my own ideas is to keep the skills in the opera unchanged and change the content of the opera. ”

Dai Qian gave Lin Bao his thoughts in detail, "The way opera is performed is actually very powerful, and it is very important to retain the essence of opera and retain these skills. Then, we innovate in content, in lyrics. I have heard a lot of foreign songs, including folk songs, including your previous "Themass", which is actually a fusion of folk songs, religious music, classical music, and modern musical instruments in terms of content or a certain part of the form, and the effect is very good, which can be popular and have appreciation value. I think this is also the purpose of creating Themass, Mr. Lin Bao.

So, I've been wondering if there can be this fusion in opera, at least, in the same way, let's transplant it and see how it works. Mr. Lin Bao, what do you think?"

Dai Qian's words made Lin Bao a little surprised.

When I chatted with Tang Xiulan before, I talked about a lot of possibilities for innovation in the direction of opera. One of them is Dai Qian's current direction.

Lin Bao then nodded: "I think your direction is good." ”

"Really?"

Dai Qian saw that Lin Bao actually agreed with his opinion, and his face suddenly became happy.

To be honest, he has always been very apprehensive about this idea of himself.

There is pressure from my teachers and the opera association, but at the same time, the biggest problem is the consideration of the feasibility of this kind of innovation.

The fusion of opera and song has never been done before.

I used to just use the breath and rhyme of opera to sing pop songs.

But it's still pop after all.

And the kind of opera song that I want to innovate, although I don't know what it will look like in the end, but at least one thing is certain, with a different way of singing, it is different from ordinary operas and songs.

How much can such innovation be achieved in terms of acceptance. Whether there is this value or not, this is a question he has been thinking about last night, before he came here.

But I didn't expect that I would directly get Lin Bao's approval.

Lin Bao agrees, at least it is clear that this path is feasible.

This undoubtedly gave him a huge boost of confidence in an instant.

"Actually, I talked to Mr. Tang before, and the promotion of opera is, in the final analysis, a matter of acceptance. If you want today's young audiences to accept it, you must first cater to the mainstream direction they recognize, and then slowly show the entire core opera culture to them. ”

Lin Baodao, "If you can start from this direction, combine the form of opera and popular content, and reach the point of both elegance and vulgarity, it will be a success!"

In fact, this is the same principle as what he is now talking about the history of classical music.

Let the audience accept the form, understand what really attracts them, develop the ability and mentality of appreciation, and then further appreciate and accept.

The development of domestic opera needs to be guided and developed little by little.

It is conceivable that if it is developed into various pop cultures, it will definitely have a subtle impact on young audiences today.

Even, if you can be like an academic star, create an opera star, and use traffic popularity to guide the audience to accept opera, it is also a very good way.

The cross talk developed in recent years is such an idea.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lin Bao, we think the same. ”

The more he chatted with Lin Bao, Dai Qian felt more and more that the direction of the other party and the music in his heart was the same.

Moreover, after getting Lin Bao's affirmation, the prototype of the idea in his heart became clearer and clearer.

"Actually, that's it, the core of opera is the performance method of singing, reading, doing and playing, just like the performance characteristics of electronic music itself. ”

Dai Qian continued, "We can use opera performances to fuse or transform new forms of performance. For example, combining it with electronic music, pop music, or finding a way to treat opera performance as a kind of improvisation, etc., etc., in this way, there are actually many directions that can be developed!"

Lin Bao nodded: "Let's take it step by step, let's start with the combination of pop music."

In fact, I have heard the songs you sang at the 'Singer's Night' recently, mainly using some more operatic atmosphere or tone to deal with the singing of pop songs. In fact, you can take it a step further and expand this tone, or sing songs completely in an opera tone. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Dai Qian couldn't help nodding, "Teacher Lin Bao, you are worthy of being a master of music, and you will reach zero all of a sudden! I've always wanted to try something from here, but I can't find a feeling in the combination of the opera tone and the rhythm of the lyrics. ”

Before, Dai Qian himself tried the old student version of "Lost Handkerchief", in fact, it was still a completely old student singing, but the content was changed to "Lost Handkerchief".

This kind of adaptation cannot be regarded as a real work that can be put on the table. Moreover, in terms of popularity, it is definitely not strong.

This is also his own biggest puzzle.

You need to be able to find the point of harmony between the singing voice and the rhythm and rhyme to be considered real

"Let's try it first. ”

Lin Bao said.

He actually had a lot of ideas in his mind.

However, he naturally would not take out all these ideas directly to Dai Qian.

He can give Dai Qian guidance.

But it is necessary for Dai Qian to slowly explore step by step, so that he can truly form his own direction and style.

Immediately, he said: "Let's find a pop song first, you try, use the opera tone, the rhythm, and see what effect can be produced in the end." ”

"Good. ”

Dai Qian nodded, "Teacher Lin Bao, I happen to have a new song here that Teacher Jin helped me find before, can we use it?"

"Exactly. ”

Lin Bao said.

For new songs, Dai Qian himself can not be bound by the original tune, and give full play to his opera tone as completely as possible.

"This final is in Shangjing, and this song actually has something to do with the Shangjing 'Song Night' Festival, in terms of rhythm, it is light and bright, and even a bit of rock rhythm. ”

"That's ...... What are you good at?"

"Old students, and then there will be some Tsing Yi singing. ”

"Then try the old student first, in fact, in terms of tone and rhythm, the old student is more deep and slow. ”

"It does ......"

"You try it first, this first sentence, Onenightinshangjing, sing it in your old voice. ”

"Okay, Mr. Lin Bao. ”

......

"Do you sing pop songs with opera?"

Cao Zige, who was next to him, watched the two of them discussing and trying all kinds of strange singing methods there, and he was also a little curious, but he really couldn't think of what kind of effect would appear in the end.

However, he knew that his master must have already had an idea, and the latter also had a deep study of opera.

The last time, when his mother came to look for him, he talked about a lot of opinions, and directly let his mother, who has always been proud of opera, go home and live without saying what the master said, which is terrifying for the future.

Although Cao Zige has never studied drama, he has naturally learned a lot about this aspect since he was exposed to it by his mother.

The inheritance of opera has always been a concern for my mother and even many old artists.

If you want to break through, you need to innovate.

However, within the Chinese Opera Association, it has always adhered to this traditional bottom line, and few people have been able to make any good innovations.

This time, maybe my master and Dai Qian can take this first step together.
