After more than three months of selection and PK competitions, the "Singer's Night" held the quarterfinals last week to determine the top four.

In addition to Xu Fan and Xiao Yutong, who successfully advanced with their strong popularity, Dai Qian and another traditional singer with strong singing skills also advanced to the top four.

Half a month later, the finals of the "Singer's Night" will be held, which is also the "Night of Songs".

During this period of time, Dai Qian was also preparing for the next finals.

However, he is also very clear about his strength.

He has no outstanding endowment in creation, and in terms of singing skills, he can't compare with Xiao Yutong and another singing singer, but he is currently the weakest one in the top four, whether it is strength or popularity.

Even, even the mentor Mr. Jin, although he never stopped guiding him, he even tried to help him ask for new songs.

If it was a previous competition, on the stage of "Singer's Night", the final competition was popularity and singing skills.

But this year, in addition to these two elements, there is even a creation, and the latter is even more important.

Xu Fan doesn't have to, he has created his own folk songs one after another, and the song "Southern Girl" in the quarterfinals is not as amazing as the previous "Chengdu", but it is still sought after by many netizens.

At the moment, it is already at the top of the popularity list of "Singer Night".

Xiao Yutong, who fell to the second place, surprised everyone that he sang a self-created "Sleeping Princess" in the quarterfinals. This song, although there is not much fault with the lyrics and songs, but in terms of popularity, it is obvious that there is still a big difference from the two songs that Lin Bao tailored for her before.

But even so, Xiao Yutong's popularity is very high, and even her attempt to create her own songs has been praised more.

There is also the student who created "A Thousand Paper Cranes", his singing skills are not outstanding, or even just ordinary, but he still broke into the PK competition with that original song.

Therefore, if he wants to make a breakthrough in the final "Song Night Festival" in the future, Dai Qian will definitely not be able to cover it anymore, he needs to put more thought into original creation.

The "Song Night Festival" is the biggest music stage of the year.

can have a better appearance on this stage, even if you can't compete for the championship and runner-up, or even fall to the end, for yourself, it's not a loss.

And when it comes to creation......

This is Dai Qian's biggest problem now.

Naturally, he can't do a very strong creative ability like Xu Fan and Lin Bao.

Therefore, I still want to make a breakthrough from my own expertise, opera.

But there is a premise here.

That is, although he is a student of "Singer's Night", he is a member of the National Opera Association.

If it were someone else, it wouldn't matter if it was some personal attempts at opera, or even opera. But he is bound by the strict regulations within the Opera Association.

It is also the obligation and responsibility of being the inheritor of traditional opera, and it is also the respect for this inheritance and skill.

Including his teacher Tang Xiulan, the old-timers of many opera associations are very serious about the management of the system in this regard.

Therefore, it is okay to use the singing skills of an opera actor to sing pop songs, but if you want to make some adaptations and extensions from opera, you still need to get the approval of old-timers like your teacher Tang Xiulan.

"Come in. ”

Tang Xiulan's voice came from inside the office.

Dai Qian hurriedly pushed the door in, and saw the teacher Tang Xiulan, who was sitting in front of the vanity mirror and putting on opera makeup.

The "Singers' Night" is in full swing, but this year's Xiqu Association's mid-year performance plan is also about to begin.

Many opera veterans, including Tang Xiulan, will perform in several first-tier cities in the middle of the year, as well as promotional activities.

Therefore, recently, Tang Xiulan has also been actively preparing.

"Dai Qian. ”

Seeing Dai Qian come in, Tang Xiulan, who was drawing her eyebrows, smiled lightly through the mirror, "I've been busy these days, and I haven't had time to congratulate you, the first time I participated in the song night, I entered the top four!"

Dai Qian hurriedly said: "It is the support and help of teachers and other seniors. ”

"How are you preparing lately? The finals are coming up in two weeks, right? Do you have any confidence?"

Tang Xiulan said again.

Dai Qian paused slightly, and shook his head slightly: "I don't feel much hope myself, the other three students are too strong......"

"How can you be cowardly before you race? That's not your style!"

Tang Xiulan glared at him, "The arena is the same as the opera stage, since you have already gone on stage, you have to show your best state for the audience!"

"Understood, teacher, it's the student who has taken a picture. ”

Dai Qian bowed slightly.

"There are still two weeks to go, and I will communicate with Mr. Jin a lot. He has talked to me before, and the opera you learned from is unique, and you have put more effort into the innovative performance of pop songs. After these few shows, it can also be seen that even pop music audiences will eat your set. ”

Tang Xiulan said, "The band teachers of 'Song Night' also have very rich experience in arranging music, and they also communicate with them a lot. This time, although we are on the field, we are also going to go to the 'color head'. But your own learning and experience is also one thing. ”

"Good teacher. ”

Dai Qian nodded, "Next, I'll try to communicate with Teacher Jin and the band teacher as much as possible......"

At this point, he thought about the purpose of his visit.

However, when he looked at the teacher in front of the mirror, who was meticulously sketching his makeup, he hesitated a little.

The opera stage, the opera world, one stroke and one makeup, one clothes and one belt, one voice, one line and one sitting, are all meticulous and do not tolerate any ambiguity.

This is not only in the performance, but also in the attitude towards opera.

Dai Qian, who has studied drama from the university, is very deep about this concept.

"Anything else?"

Tang Xiulan saw Dai Qian's appearance through the mirror, and then said.

"I didn't ...... No ......."

Dai Qian hesitated.

He naturally knew that if he came out with his cranky ideas, the teacher would definitely not agree, and even be very angry.

What would he do to make her angry?

"What's the matter, directly with me. ”

Tang Xiulan glared at him, "How do you feel that you have become more and more mother-in-law and mother-in-law after participating in the 'Song Night'?"

Dai Qian looked at his teacher, gritted his teeth, said secretly in his heart, let it go, and then said: "Teacher, in fact, I've been thinking about some ideas about opera innovation. ”

At this point, he stopped and looked at the teacher's expression.

Tang Xiulan paused slightly, blinked her rouge-coated eyes, and said, "What do you think?"

Dai Qian said: "Teacher, it's actually some of my own cranky thoughts...... That is, to see if it is possible, to combine opera and pop music......"

"Combined?"

Tang Xiulan Road.

Dai Qian continued: "In fact, art is interconnected, and pop music and opera cannot be integrated with each other and learn from each other. In fact, religious art, literary art, our ancient texts, including some techniques used in paintings, have all been tried and used in songs, and have achieved good results. ”

Tang Xiulan didn't speak, and the movements in her hands didn't stop.

Dai Qian hurriedly said: "Teacher Tang, recently, you should have heard Teacher Lin Bao's song "Themass". Inside, it is a perfect blend of classical music, modern instruments, and even religious music. In the West, classical music is inherited just like our opera. Since Themass can get the approval of Western music critics, let's try something innovative, right...... It is also possible ......"

At this point, the movements in Tang Xiulan's hands gradually stopped, turned around, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at Dai Qian.

After watching it for a while, just when Dai Qian felt a burst of hair in her heart, she suddenly said: "What is the specific form of expression? If it is like the "Lost Handkerchief" that you sang before, I think that when you sing on a stage as big as 'Singer's Night', the president will kill you directly." ”

"Of course not. ”

Dai Qian was busy saying that the old student version of "Lost Handkerchief" before was just created by himself in a funny way.

"However, at present, I don't have a very clear idea of the specific form......"

Dai Qian said again.

Regarding the breakthrough of opera, he himself has been experimenting in private.

But it is too difficult to really find the fusion of opera and song, this zero-to-one step.

He has always had such an impulse to integrate in his heart, but he can't figure out what the real form is, what kind of format, can not only preserve the essence of opera, but also lose the popularity of pop music.

"I'll give you two weeks. ”

Tang Xiulan looked at him, "Before the finals of the song night, you bring it to me to watch." ”

"Okay, teacher!"

Dai Qian was relieved when he heard Tang Xiulan, and he was also happy in his heart.

Although in the end, whether or not you can pass and sing on the stage of the finals of "Singer's Night" needs to be recognized by Tang Xiulan and even the Opera Association, at least, you have a chance to try.

"If you don't have a clear idea, you can go to Lin Bao and talk to him. ”

Tang Xiulan said again.

She had communicated with Lin Bao before, and naturally knew that he had a unique and forward-looking idea for opera innovation.

That time, I was also deeply touched.

However, there is still some hesitation about these overly radical ideas, which have been resisted by the opera industry.

This time, letting Dai Qian go over may be an opportunity.

"Teacher Lin Bao?"

Dai Qian's eyes lit up, and he said, "But Teacher Lin Bao ...... him."

Naturally, he himself very much hopes to get the guidance of Lin Bao, who is a music god who has guided three star students and composed live in the Vienna Concert Hall.

His words of guidance may be a new realm for his own musical path.

However, Dai Qian also understood Lin Bao's current status.

Even the top singers want to have a chance to communicate with him.

Yourself, how can you have this opportunity?

"I'll wait to contact him and see if he has time. ”

Tang Xiulan Road.

The last time we met, Lin Bao was just a relatively popular and endowed music live broadcaster.

Now, he has become a world-class musician.

Therefore, even if it is Tang Xiulan's own status, she is not sure if she can invite him.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang!"

Seeing his teacher go out and help himself, Dai Qian was also excited, and he couldn't hide his excitement on his face.

......

Barbecue restaurant.

After receiving a call from Tang Xiulan, Lin Bao naturally agreed immediately.

Now that his "Original Musician" program has been launched, he is naturally very interested in these innovative music ideas.

At the same time, in terms of opera music, since he talked to Tang Xiulan last time, he has also had some thoughts.

To a certain extent, the combination of oriental classical opera and pop music is very helpful for the expansion of domestic music and the promotion of classical opera.

Hanging the antelope, Lin Bao looked at Zheng Rong and Xiao Yutong, who were sitting on the table next to him eating barbecue together, and said, "Aunt Rong, you continue." ”

Zheng Rong nodded, wiped the oil and water from the corner of her mouth, and said, "Over there in World of Warcraft, the contract has been signed. The expansion will be released in early July, and there will be related activities on the Philharmonic platform at that time. Also, the contact information of Mr. Weisser, whom you pushed to me last time, introduced me to the head of Sony Music yesterday, and he had the idea of working with us. ”

"Will it involve the koku?"

Lin Bao suddenly raised his head and said.

He has no interest in commercial cooperation, but whether it is from the perspective of original music development or the construction of the Philharmonic platform, he is very concerned about building up the Philharmonic's music library.

Domestic song copyrights, if you want to talk about them, are too slow and complicated. However, the copyright of foreign music has always been a blank market, and perhaps we can take advantage of this opportunity to find a way to introduce some foreign language song copyrights.

"Now that the domestic music market is gradually rising, in fact, Sony has always had the idea of cooperating with domestic music platforms in recent years. This time you are in Vienna, and Mr. Weiser is mediating it, so this time we have a good chance of buying a large number of high-quality foreign language songs from Sony. ”

Zheng Rong said.

"Exclusive rights?"

When Lin Bao heard this, he suddenly said.

In fact, he is very resistant to exclusive copyrights.

In my heart, I very much disagree with this approach.

So, from the philharmonic platform, he wants to carry on this idea.

Even, after returning from Vienna this time, as the largest shareholder of the platform, he directly made the decision to abolish the previous exclusive agreement of "Themass". Let "Themass" be released on all platforms.

Zheng Rong looked at him and said, "I know what you think, but this is also something that can't be helped." If we are as big as Penguin Music and control the platform ourselves, we can try to scrap the exclusivity agreement. However, the current Philharmonic's music library is too poor. We can't always rely on you to pull traffic, more exclusive agreement songs are the way we must go. ”
