Kang Hui had a regular company meeting in Shanghai the next morning, and she needed to go to the airport to catch a flight. And Chen Qiang was cooking soup at home, he was cooking at a critical moment, and he really couldn't leave. So Chen Minhao could only ask Wu Hongrong to drive him home.

When the car drove downstairs, Chen Minhao invited Wu Hongrong upstairs to drink soup. Wu Hongrong politely declined, and Chen Minhao went upstairs alone and went straight to his study.

Chen Minhao took two books related to music arrangement, "Fundamentals of Music Theory" and "Analysis of Composition and Composition", from the bookshelf, then opened his laptop and opened OneNote.

Today, when everyone was discussing the arrangement of "Blue and White Porcelain" in the conference room of Chen Minhao's studio, Chen Minhao paid more attention. He secretly opened the recording software of his mobile phone, put the mobile phone screen down on the table, and recorded the voices of several people discussing.

Chen Minhao imported the audio into the computer, put on the headphones, and clicked play.

He said to himself, "Everyone's voice is clear and perfect. ”

Several people discussed the process of arranging, which can be described as a verbal argument. Although Chen Minhao turned on the firepower of his brain and listened, thought, memorized, and learned with his heart, there was still a lot of content that he still hadn't digested.

Chen Minhao's knowledge of arrangement is too weak compared to several others, which is like asking a primary school student to listen to a junior high school student's lesson, even if that primary school student is smart, he can't keep up with the rhythm of the class.

But fortunately, this smart schoolboy will teach himself and will secretly work hard.

The reason why Chen Minhao planned to find a teacher to learn arranging was because of Qian Jinyun's admiration and his little vanity, but today after listening to the words of several people, he realized that arranging music is a very practical knowledge and a skill that he must master.

If Chen Minhao can't master the arrangement, it means that after he has done an amazing job of transporting, he will hand over the work to someone else, hoping that someone else can reproduce the work perfectly.

And he himself can only be like an overseer, or more precisely, like a cheerleader shouting cheers on the side, and can only hope that others will have an excellent performance.

Chen Minhao was an orphan in his previous life, with limited living expenses, he couldn't afford a switch, and he didn't know what steam was, let alone what dota auto chess was.

The only thing he could call a recreational activity was to borrow history books from the library of Mizuki University, and he once came to a conclusion from the vast number of history books:

One can choose to trust others, but one cannot put all the expectations on others, because others are not obligated to fulfill your expectations. Even if you are the emperor, he is a courtier.

When a person expects too much from others, it is essentially a useless evasion and prevarication of himself. No one in this life is responsible for himself except himself.

Chen Minhao replayed this afternoon's discussion at 0.8 times the speed, sorted out everyone's opinions, and turned to Baidu for help when he encountered something he didn't understand, or flipped through the books at hand.

As the minutes passed, there were fewer and fewer lights in the community.

Chen Qiang finally cooked the soup, and he carefully brought the bowl in, but Chen Minhao didn't notice that someone was coming in.

Chen Qiang saw Chen Minhao, who was engrossed, and quietly withdrew.

An hour later, Chen Qiang saw that the light in Chen Minhao's room was still on, and he pushed open the study again, and he saw that Chen Minhao was still in the same posture as an hour ago.

"Brother Hao, rest for a while, do you want to drink a bowl of soup?" Chen Qiang asked in a low voice.

Chen Minhao nodded and said casually: "You just put it aside, I'll drink it later." ”

Chen Qiang put the bowl on the table, and after a moment of confusion, he still said: "Brother Hao, you should drink it now, it is easy for you to get into it when you do something, when you said this last time, I came to collect the bowl the next day and found that you didn't drink a sip." ”

Chen Minhao nodded, reading and drinking at the same time.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the third day, Chen Minhao immediately rushed to his studio after the last class of the day, and made an appointment with Qu Rong, Qian Jinyun and others to discuss the arrangement for the second time today.

The agreed time for several people to meet was half past four, but when Chen Minhao arrived at the studio at 4:18, he found that the conference room was full.

Qu Rong and Wu Hongrong were arguing with each other, and the two glared at each other when they saw Chen Minhao coming, but both stopped talking.

Chen Minhao pulled a chair and sat down, only to find that Qu Rong, Qian Jinyun, Wang Jia and Li Hui had turned into panda eyes, and Qu Rong's eyes were still bloodshot.

Qu Rong nodded towards Chen Minhao, as if she had said hello, she took a USB flash drive from her bag and shook it and said, "Because we had a dispute last time we had a meeting, we arranged all three plans this time."

Last time, Qian Jinyun mentioned the sound of percussion blue and white porcelain as an accompaniment, he contacted that person, and we also made some attempts, and the conclusion was that if it was a live performance, it would be interesting to add such a clip, but if you added the demo, the pitch would be distorted a lot, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”

Chen Minhao took the USB flash drive in Qu Rong's hand, plugged it into the computer, and said, "Okay, then forget it." "Blue and White Porcelain" will be recorded in the studio this Saturday, so let's talk about the arrangement of the demo first, and the discussion of the live performance is not urgent. ”

In order to distinguish the three different schemes for discussion, Chen Minhao called these three schemes A, B, and C by the way.

After listening to these three different plans, Chen Minhao knew the reason for the dark circles under their eyes, and he had really worked hard in the past few days.

Scheme A is a traditional Chinese style, and the whole arrangement does not use bass. The reason why he is said to be a Chinese style in the traditional sense is because in traditional Chinese music, such as opera, folk songs themselves do not have the concept of bass, even rhythm instruments are high-pitched "tick tick da".

But a song has no bass, which obviously does not conform to the musical habits of modern people, so Chen Minhao directly excluded plan A.

In the case of option B, traditional Chinese instruments such as flute, pipa and guzheng are mainly used, and a small amount of guitar is added to fill the bass, but basically each instrument is played separately, and there is almost no ensemble.

There is no concept of harmony in traditional Chinese music, and the national instruments are basically solo instruments.

Chen Minhao listened to plan B and thought that plan B could be used as traditional Chinese light music and could be used in the hall, but although it was antique as the soundtrack of a song, it was a little thin.

Scheme C is the most unChinese arrangement, which makes extensive use of modern music and vocal music as song borders, acoustic guitar and piano as rhythmic and vocal instruments, and ethnic instruments only as a supporting role, playing the role of filling and long melodic lines.

After listening to the three different plans, Wu Hongrong said in a striking voice: "I think plan B is good, and the antique style is called Huaxia style." ”

Qu Rong did not back down and said: "But we can't be Chinese style for the sake of Chinese style, there is a reason why modern music arrangements are mainly based on Western instruments, you can't say with a bad conscience for the name of Chinese style, plan B is better than plan C." ”

Wu Hongrong and Qu Rong could not convince anyone, and the two directly turned their guns, looked at Chen Minhao in unison and asked, "Which direction do you think is more appropriate?" Fupin Chinese
