Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Ancient Song "Pipa Xing"
"Hmph, that guy Li Fei is really foolish! Our music production studio is so likely to help a hairy boy make music, this is simply the biggest insult to me!"
After listening to Su Zhou's words, the old man in casual clothes sitting on the side immediately blew his hair, patted the armrest of the chair under him hard, and roared angrily.
His roar frightened Su Zhou, and he quickly began to think about who the old man in front of him was, and also thought about whether he had offended people just now.
But after thinking about it carefully, Su Zhou didn't feel that he had offended this old man anywhere.
The atmosphere immediately cooled down, and Su Zhou didn't dare to refute it casually, at this time, another old man surnamed Zhang smiled, relieved the atmosphere and said.
"Okay, Lao Zheng, you can complain here, if you have an opinion, you go to the director and say it, you just say, your music room is dead and doesn't make music for others, and you threaten to resign, I think there is still a lot of hope......"
Su Zhou didn't dare to speak on the side, but listening to the words of the old man surnamed Zhang, Su Zhou immediately understood that the old man in front of him was the producer of this music room, so he said such a thing just now.
The words of the old man surnamed Zhang immediately washed away the cold atmosphere, and Zheng An quickly withered when he heard it, and said something excitedly.
"Old man Zhang, you are uneasy and kind, if you have the ability, you can say it yourself, you are still the producer of the soundtrack, anyway, you are the one who is busy in the end...... If you want me to do this, don't even think about it! I won't fall for you!"
"Okay, you old man Zheng, you are blowing your beard here again and staring, too lazy to tell you......" After the old man surnamed Zhang scolded with a smile, he turned around and looked at Su Zhou and said.
"Your name is Su Zhou?"
Su Zhou nodded, and then asked respectfully, "May I ask who you are?"
"My name is Zhang Boqiang, and I am the soundtrack producer of this music room, so you can call me Mr. Zhang!" Zhang Boqiang said.
"What are you doing here today?"
Su Zhou hurriedly replied: "That's it, Teacher Zhang, there are less than six days left before the TV station audition, I have one of my songs here, and I want to ask you to help make it." ”
"Oh, the song is original?" Hearing that he came to make the song, Zhang Boqiang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested.
"Hmph, such a possible originality, Lao Zhang, are you old and confused, he is a hairy boy who is not yet an adult, so it is possible to write a song?" Zheng An, who was sitting on the side, glanced at Su Zhou, and then said with a look of contempt.
"If he comes up with a song of his own, I, Zheng An, will put it away, and I will definitely make music for him wholeheartedly!"
Zheng An glanced up and down at Su Zhou, although he looked good, he didn't look like a person who could write songs.
"Okay, Lao Zheng, once you say it, it's hard to chase the horse, you can remember what you said. Zhang Boqiang slapped his thigh and started excitedly.
"Of course, when did I say what Zheng An said, but if the song is too bad, I won't admit it......," Zheng An said with a cold snort.
"Su boy, you just take out your song and show it to us, I want to see how Lao Zheng looks deflated. Zhang Boqiang said to Su Zhou.
Su Zhou hurriedly took out the lyrics he had prepared long ago from his arms and handed them to Zhang Boqiang, and then said.
"Mr. Zhang, this song of mine is actually not original, it should be an adaptation, please help me take a look. ”
Zhang Boqiang took out the lyrics paper from Su Zhou's hand, and his eyes swept up, only to see the name of the song written on the top of the white paper.
"Pipa Xing"!
"Pipa Xing?" Zhang Boqiang looked at the song and muttered a sentence in his mouth.
Zheng An, who was beside him, also glanced over, and also saw the name of the song on the white paper, his expression was stunned, and then Zhang Boqiang also glanced at each other, and they all saw questions in the eyes of the other party.
Zhang Boqiang looked at the names on the paper, and then glanced at the lyrics.
That's right
It's an ancient poem in a high school textbook,
Zhang Boqiang raised his head and asked in a somewhat puzzled tone.
"Su boy, are you changing ancient words into songs?"
"Yes. Su Zhou nodded.
"Then it's very difficult for you, is your song centered on words, or is it centered on the song?" Zhang Boqiang sighed twice and asked.
Su Zhou replied. "It's a song with a song, and the original purpose of my creation and adaptation of this song was to recite the whole word, but in order to make it easier to memorize, I made this song into a song and changed it to a song......"
Su Zhou hurriedly explained to Zhang Boqiang the source of his creation.
Although for Su Zhou himself, these are all, isn't it clear to him how he came to be?
But there are still some things that need to be said for others to hear.
As for this "Pipa Xing", in fact, in the previous life, the purpose of this song was to be good, in order to be better sung.
In fact, Lao Bai's "Pipa Xing" mainly expresses an indescribable pain and sadness.
However, if the arrangement is based on the core of "Pipa Xing" and the sad melody is the keynote, the popularity may be greatly reduced.
Therefore, when adapting this song in the previous life, the arranger adapted the overall style of the song into a lighter style in order to better sing it, giving people a sense of leisure, happiness and relaxation.
So this song is actually sung without the true charm of the ancient words.
If someone uses this as a topic to hack Su Zhou, there is no way, after all, it is impossible for everyone to like any song, but for himself, for the sake of the song, and for himself to be better famous, after thinking about it, Su Zhou still decided to use this song.
Zhang Boqiang listened to Su Zhou's explanation, nodded, and still agreed.
Judging from his experience in the music industry for so many years and scoring several platinum albums, this song adaptation is indeed a superb work.
After knowing the source of this song, Zhang Boqiang began to carefully look at the score of this song.
The score of this song is an ordinary stave, and Zhang Boqiang still understands it.
Judging from the first lyrics, Zhang Boqiang already knew that this song was on the brisk side, his eyes quickly swept over it, and when he saw the middle part, Zhang Boqiang frowned.
The stave in the middle section fluctuates too much, and it doesn't look like a pop singing voice can sing it.
Zhang Boqiang looked at this paragraph, and a wave of confusion set off in his heart, so he asked again.
"Su boy, you don't like you can sing this in a pop voice, tell me about such a thing?"
When he heard this, Su Zhou had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and then explained: "Teacher Zhang, in the middle paragraph, I really don't plan to use pop singing, but I plan to sing with drama." ”
"Drama?" Hearing Su Zhou's words, Zhang Boqiang was suddenly a little surprised, there is a part of the Chinese music industry in the opera singing, but there are only a few songs that can be famous, and the singer who sings it is originally the king of Chinese music.
Like Su Zhou plans to sing in a dramatic tone, Zhang Boqiang is still a little worried, after all, the drama and pop music do not match, the two are not the same kind, if they are mixed together at will, not only can they not appear different, but they may become nondescript, and a good song is wasted.
But while worried, Zhang Boqiang still has some expectations in his heart, after all, if he sings well, it will definitely put a bombshell on today's entertainment industry.
Not only Zhang Boqiang was surprised by Su Zhou's words, but even Zheng An, who was not used to watching Su Zhou on the side, also had a surprised expression.
