Chapter 80: A New Song
On Wednesday, the 7th "Hundred Flowers Cup Composition Competition" organized by the Puhai Musicians Association and many other units held the so-called opening ceremony in the auditorium of a high school. It was very lively, with five or six hundred people coming, and dozens of leaders. He Hongchui is also one of the leaders of the association and is the vice chairman of the music creation committee under the association. Li Yingzhen is also there, but not a leader, and her name is the honorary advisor to the presidium of the Puhai Musicians Association. I don't know what Lu Dao does.
There are a lot of celebrities, but no celebrities. Some of these celebrities are singers who are members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and some are performing artists who are civil servants, and many of them have to speak on stage. Zhang Jiahuo, chairman of the Puhai Musicians Association, said that the "Hundred Flowers Blooming Cup" is more and more successful, and it is getting bigger and bigger, and this time there are more than 80 entries collected, and there are various forms, songs, operas, operas, solos, ensembles...... Both.
Conventionally, the contestants are divided into two groups, under the age of thirty-six and over the age of thirty-six. Two-thirds of the entries were made by young composers under the age of 36, which shows that there are successors to the music industry of Puhai and even the motherland, which is thriving day by day.
This competition is municipal, and no people from other places participate. There are more than 30 works sent by Puyin this time, most of which are from students and a few from teachers. The competition stipulates that as long as they have something to do with the contestants, they cannot be judges, so the professors of the conservatory of music must automatically avoid suspicion.
There are a total of 10 judges for the competition, all of whom are very interesting to those who are here today, and several of them are musicians' associations and similar organizations from other provinces and cities.
With so many leaders involved, this competition must be valued, and if you want to win the award, it is better to have some main theme. Look at the first place in the previous years, most of them are songs that sing the beauty of the motherland. The most successful of these works was sung by great singers in some of the big evenings. And this kind of song generally has a large-scale dance soundtrack, and that kind of big production is something that ordinary small stars can't experience.
In fact, most of the students of the Conservatory of Music also take this as their ideal, hoping to enter the three major troupes of Puhai after graduation. The so-called three major troupes are the Puhai Symphony Orchestra, the Puhai Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Puhai Choir. After entering these large groups, not only is the salary good, but there is also a lot of free time for himself to squander every year. Holding the iron rice bowl is much easier than squeezing the single-plank bridge insurance in the entertainment industry that was robbed by 10,000 people.
In fact, among the singers who become stars, there are really few who were born in professional colleges. The people who got the academic qualifications of the conservatory of music really don't want to suffer that hardship, or lose that person. If you are the most embarrassed, you will only mix the second and third lines, and when the old classmates meet, others will be surprised: "Ouch, star." "It felt boring.
Qi Qingnuo sat in the back row of the auditorium with Yang Jingxing, they were not interested in what they said on the stage, and the two kept whispering, until Ding Sangpeng, an older generation of composers and artists who also came out of Puyin, dragged his eighty-year-old body to the microphone to give a speech, and they had to prick up their ears to listen.
Qi Qingnuo is participating in this competition for the second time, and the last time he sent a popular song, he didn't win the award after the last. This time, I sent the ensemble sketch "Clouds Open and Fog Disperse", which also focused on participation. If you look at the age group of the judges and the position they are in, their tastes must be much higher.
Qi Qingnuo whispered: "For example, they are on the road of official business, we are in business, and we can't be embarrassed. ”
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Let's understand the policy direction." ”
The opening ceremony is finally over, and the next step is the presentation of the works. The Puhai Symphony Orchestra is responsible for performing the instrumental works of the competition, and the youth group of the Puhai Chorus is responsible for singing vocal works. The contestants are not allowed to play and sing by themselves, and I don't know what the considerations are.
All the works were played and sung over two days. Both Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo's works were placed on Friday afternoon, but as contestants, they had to be in full attendance.
I listened to the songs all morning, some of them were recorded with accompaniment, some were sung a cappella, and some were accompanied by live piano accompaniment. There are popular, popular, and bel canto...... The melody of a pop song written by Qi Qingnuo's classmates is not bad, but it seems inappropriate for the person who sings it to use that kind of sharp and high-spirited emphasis.
The composer sat next to Qi Qingnuo, with a depressed face: "I told her hundreds of times, you can't sing like this!"
Xu Xuesi, who was next to Yang Jingxing, said: "She thought she was here to participate in the singing competition. Xu Xuesi wrote a piano sketch to participate in the competition, Yang Jingxing heard it, the decent kind, simple melody, ordinary chords, not difficult to hear, but meaningless.
After the content of the morning, Yang Jingxing Qi Qingnuo and his party looked for a place to have lunch together, and finally chose fast food, noodles and fried rice or something.
Three freshmen and four juniors. In addition to Yang Jingxing and Xu Xuesi in the freshman year, there is also the Puhai girl Luo Jiaqian, this time it is a song written. In the junior year, Qi Qingnuo was a woman, and the other three men pulled her to a table, as if drawing a line with the freshman.
We've been in class together for months, and although we haven't spoken much, we're getting acquainted. Luo Jiaqian also knew Yang Jingxing's 402, and said when she wanted to go and see it, Yang Jingxing welcomed it.
Luo Jiaqian asked again: "Did you write a song for Duan Liying?"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Who did you listen to?"
Luo Jiaqian said: "It's passed on." If you have a chance, you can also recommend it to us. ”
Yang Jingxing said: "I am also helped by others, if I have a song, I can help Gan Kaicheng, but I am not familiar with it." ”
After they all started eating, Qi Qingnuo knocked on Yang Jingxing's back, turned around with her small steamer, and said, "Divide the two of you, I can't finish eating." ”
Yang Jingxing asked, "You lost weight." ”
Qi Qingnuo frowned: "I still have noodles." ”
Yang Jingxing sandwiched two steamed dumplings into his bowl.
Luo Jiaqian asked Yang Jingxing: "Will your girlfriend come tomorrow?" ”
Yang Jingxing said: "I like this rumor. ”
"How?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I don't have a girlfriend yet. ”
Luo Jiaqian didn't investigate the truth or falsehood, and said, "Choose one." ”
Yang Jingxing didn't understand: "Where to choose?"
"Take your pick. ”
Yang Jingxing asked Xu Xuesi: "Is there such a good thing?"
Xu Xuesi: "If there is, it won't be my turn." ”
Later, Qi Qingnuo's classmate said to her, "You really should choose one." ”
Qi Qingnuo sneered: "Think about good things, it's not your turn." ”
The guy didn't care, and said to him: "Forget it, let's go find my freshman sister." ”
Xu Xuesi was very enthusiastic: "No, we are already few." ”
The other party was very generous: "Let's change, this is for you." ”
Xu Xuesi could only see Qi Qingnuo's back, and he didn't know what to say.
After a while, Qi Qingnuo turned around: "What's the matter?"
Xu Xuesi was a little embarrassed: "No...... How dare you. ”
Yang Jingxing pointed to Xu Xuesi and Qi Qingnuo, and said, "If you change, we will earn." ”
A group of people laughed disdainfully, and Qi Qingnuo asked, "Luo Jiaqian, me and him, who do you choose?"
Luo Jiaqian was helpless: "You." ”
Qi Qingnuo despised Yang Jingxing: "It's still not your turn." ”
In the afternoon, I continued to listen to the songs, focusing on the works of contestants over the age of 36, and several of them received warm applause because of the composer's name or origin. In fact, of course, real people will not come to participate in this kind of competition, competing with a group of juniors for tens of thousands of dollars in prize money and unwanted reputation, so it is difficult to have any exciting works.
At five o'clock, the dismissal was disbanded, and several people went together to take the subway home or back to school. Qi Qingnuo held the handrail and stood next to Yang Jingxing, his body gently swayed along the railroad tracks, and asked, "Will you call Yu Xinting to eat?"
Yang Jingxing guessed: "She has eaten it when she goes back." ”
Qi Qingnuo called Yu Xinting and decided for himself: "Go to Fu Feirong, I'm hungry too...... Of course he asked, and we were both so poor...... It's going to take another half an hour, you wait for us...... Whatever you want. ”
On the way, Qi Qingnuo and Yang Jingxing discussed professional issues, and she also said that Yang Jingxing should write love songs, and in the current music market, love songs are king.
Yang Jingxing said: "I don't have life experience, and I can't write well." ”
Qi Qingnuo regretted: "I haven't eaten pork or seen a pig run, it's a pity that we have so many beauties." ”
Yu Xinting and An Xin were already waiting in the parking lot, Yu Xinting said that she wanted to call Fu Feirong, but Yang Jingxing said no. After arriving at Fu's barbecue, the proprietress gave a grand welcome, and the hurried boss also came out to greet him. Fu Feirong is here, and she is helping, but she will leave for glory later.
Yang Jingxing asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Fu Feirong said that she had already eaten it.
Qi Qingnuo found out: "I've hired someone." ”
Fu Feirong nodded: "It's really too busy...... I'll order you some food. ”
Of course, Yu Xinting wanted to eat grilled fish, and when the proprietress heard it, she called the newly invited waiter to catch it, and said: "Choose a big one, don't weigh it." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "No, you have to weigh!"
The proprietress is very sincere in asking for a treat, but it seems that Yang Jingxing is not pretending to refuse. The proprietress was anxious and said, "Panpan invites you, not us." ”
Fu Feirong nodded: "Well, I should please." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "You invite them, can I get naked?"
The proprietress said, "It's all the same, what more do you want?"
Yang Jingxing said to Yu Xinting and the others: "I'll thank you first." ”
Qi Qingnuo condemned: "Don't be logically confused, you can't do it!"
Yu Xinting also said: "Xie Lu Xie Panpan." ”
Fu Feirong was a little embarrassed: "No need...... You're welcome. ”
Yang Jingxing said to Fu Feirong: "I don't have time in the next few days, and I can't write the lyrics, why don't you meet tonight, you come back early, can you do it at half past twelve?"
Qi Qingnuo helped to answer: "Almost." ”
Yu Xinting asked in surprise: "The new song has been written?"
Yang Jingxing said: "The melody is almost there, there are no lyrics, I thought about it, and simply sang it." ”
Fu Feirong asked, "How do you sing?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Eat first, and then talk about it in the evening...... If you're in for a treat, you'll want to eat it yourself!"
The proprietress helped Fu Feirong move the stool: "Sit, accompany them." ”
Qi Qingnuo also said: "It's okay, what are you doing so early, you are a singer!"
After the food came, the proprietress brought two more bottles of beer and said, "Panpan will drink beer with him, and you will drink drinks." ”
Yang Jingxing proposed a toast: "We wish Fu Feirong better and better singing." ”
An Xin said: "The first singing of the new song must wait for us." ”
Fu Feirong nodded: "I want you to give me more guidance." ”
Qi Qingnuo said: "Then you are humble, Xie Lu thank you for this big meal...... Tell your sister-in-law not to serve the food, you can't finish eating. ”
The proprietress was really generous, she came with seven or eight dishes in a row, and she didn't even care about the other guests. Yu Xinting was particularly surprised: "Bacon, sausage...... It's delicious!"
Fu Feirong said: "I brought it from my hometown." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "It's not on the menu, you eat it yourself, right?"
Fu Feirong asked, "Can you get used to eating?"
Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo both said that it was not bad, and An Xin also tasted it, but Yu Xinting liked it the most: "It's almost exactly the same as what my grandmother's house makes." She complained that Puhai's bacon and smoked sausages were so unauthentic that they weren't half as good as those in her hometown.
Fu Feirong really wanted to toast Yang Jingxing, but Yang Jingxing did it and said, "I wish us a happy cooperation." ”
An Xin said to Fu Feirong: "I should ask you for an autograph now." ”
Qi Qingnuo said: "Don't put so much pressure on her, come, let's have a toast too." When you become a wrist in the future, you want to return to glory. ”
Fu Feirong would not resist, so she said, "You eat vegetables." ”
It was about seven o'clock when she finished eating, Fu Feirong was in a hurry to set off, and her sister-in-law sent Yang Jingxing to them. A meal of bacon and smoked sausages moved Yu Xinting to eat, and said thank you again and again. The hostess told her to come often, and.
Yang Jingxing asked Qi Qingnuo if he wanted to send it to the station, and Qi Qingnuo said: "Look at your new song, you can watch this." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "It's not finished yet, and I work overtime at night." ”
Yu Xinting said: "We won't bother you, An Xin and I will go to the Internet." ”
An Xin said, "You go, I'll go back to the bedroom to wash clothes." ”
Qi Qingnuo asked, "Didn't you wash his clothes?"
An Xin said: "Underwear." ”
Yang Jingxing complained: "It's so stingy. ”
An Xin and Qi Qing Nuo Ha Lu Ha Le.
The three of them returned to 402, and Yu Xinting rubbed her hands here with her computer. Qi Qingnuo sat next to Yang Jingxing and watched him finish his new song. Sure enough, there are no lyrics, no, there are, but it's just two words, ah and um. Yang Jingxing's broken sentences were all marked, lest Fu Feirong would be out of breath at that time.
Looking at the melody and rhythm, it should be a very soft and sad feeling. Yang Jingxing's main job is to complete the chords of the piano accompaniment, and modify the melody slightly. He Hongchui said that Yang Jingxing already has a certain understanding of chords, and is not only familiar with the usual various application methods, but also has the willingness to innovate in his own creative process. But Yang Jingxing didn't innovate much today, he was very skillful all the way down, with the softness of the melody.
As a professional and senior, Qi Qingnuo has not expressed his opinion, just watched Yang Jingxing do it, the two of them didn't say a word for a long time, if you want to say it, Yang Jingxing asked: "So?" Qi Qingnuo nodded: "Yes." ”
Yu Xinting came to look at it from time to time, and she also found that Yang Jingxing used almost all simple chords with improvised accompaniment, but there was no problem in function.
From half past seven to half past nine, it was finally completed, and Qi Qingnuo also stretched his waist and stood up to move. Yang Jingxing looked at it carefully again and said, "Come on, you sing, Xin Ting plays." ”
Yu Xinting looked: "I don't have a name yet." ”
Yang Jingxing said to Qi Qingnuo: "It's your turn this time." ”
Qi Qingnuo humbly asked: "Xin Ting come on." ”
Yu Xinting said: "You can take it." ”
Qi Qingnuo said: "Let's feel it first." ”
