Chapter 386: Sister Drum
Lu Chunyang and Wang Siqin talked about their musical concepts, and when they saw that Ye Zheng listened very seriously, they talked more and more. When they were making music, they initially came up with the concept and came up with some rough samples, and then sought the help of some music companies. But it's a shame that no music company is willing to help.
Until now, their source of funds is still the profits from Wang Siqin's album, as well as some creations that Lu Chunyang usually buys. Then there's a little bit of funding from friends. But in the past year, they have spent millions of dollars, and they still have not achieved satisfactory results. Among them, the technical limitations are also very large, and they do not have some professional advanced acquisition equipment and so on.
Now, Ye Zheng seems to be very interested in the music they are talking about. They thought that if Ye Zheng was moved and provided some financial and technical support, it would definitely be much more convenient. "For this album, we decided to start with Tibet. Wang Siqin said: "We have been in Tibet for more than half a year, doing a lot of original sound collection, as well as sorting out and artistizing the mysticism in the local Tibetan culture...... We wanted to produce a high-quality album, both in terms of music composition and singing, as well as soundtrack arrangement and post-production. ”
Lu Chunyang nodded: "The style orientation we gave this album is like this, we pay attention to the singer's singing, but we also pay great attention to the vocal part except the singer's singing." I don't plan to edit and mix, and I completely get rid of the scruples and constraints of general singing skills. Through the most primitive singing and the most primitive music, and then use electronic music and other elements to harmonize, to create an album full of strong original oriental style and Tibetan style......"
Listening to their narration, Ye Zheng thought of something and asked, "Since you have been in Tibet for so long, do you know that there is a thing called Sister Drum?" "Sister Drum!" Lu Chunyang and Wang Siqin were both stunned, and then both nodded silently, Wang Siqin nodded lightly: "We not only know, but also saw a Sister Drum...... with our own eyes"
"It turns out that there really is such a thing!" Ye Zheng was amazed and shocked. Lu Chunyang and Wang Siqin nodded again, as if the question asked by Ye Zheng suddenly interrupted their narrative just now, and the atmosphere at the entire dinner table fell silent all of a sudden. "What is Sister A's drum?" Xiao Qi looked at Ye Zheng and the three of them curiously and asked. "In the Tibetan cultural tradition, a drum made of the human skin of a pure maiden is used to worship the gods. Ye Zheng's words made Xiao Qi's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"Human skin?" she couldn't believe it. Ye Zheng nodded lightly: "I don't know the specifics, it seems that I want to make a drum from the skin of a young virgin and use it to worship the gods." It is said that it can pass through the Buddha, the Bodhisattva, and the heavens, and it is claimed that as soon as the human skin drum is shaken, the Bodhisattva will descend into the world...... Something very mysterious. I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect there to be such a thing. ”
While speaking, Ye Zheng's heart was also full of emotion, and he was really unwilling to praise and accept this cruel culture. However, there is a sense of mystery that makes people can't help but explore. "Actually...... And that's not all. Lu Chunyang said: "We have also heard some things, although I don't know if it is true, but there are indeed rumors...... The pure human skin of the maiden was made into a drum, but nothing else was necessarily buried. Her bones will also be made into all kinds of weird and terrifying human bone magic weapons. For example, in the Tibetan people, there is a flute called 'Gangling', which is made from leg bones...... The eyebrow bone or parietal bone is made into a rosary, and it is even rumored that some strings of prayer beads have 108 eyebrow bones, and sometimes phalanges.
The Tibetan people have a ritual called Gabala, which refers to the human bone rosary made from finger bones and eyebrow bones, and also refers to the bowl lid made of copper gilt with skull. However, this kind of gabala is said to be made of the bones of a monk after his death...... "Eh, don't say it, it's scary, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares tonight." Xiao Qi thought about Lu Chunyang's words, and she felt bursts of cold air rushing to her face. Lu Chunyang smiled: "Actually, we feel very scary and scary now. But over there, it's incomparably sacred.
Hundreds of thousands of people travel every year to experience the culture, and many feel as if their minds have been cleansed. We've been there for so long, and we feel like our mood has changed a lot. "I'd rather not have such a change!" Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "It's too crazy!" Wang Siqin said with a smile: "Just travel there to see and have fun, under normal circumstances, there is no need to explore their culture in depth." There is a mystical culture that has been inherited for thousands of years, and many places are far from our traditional culture and modern civilization thoughts, and it is difficult to accept them from the heart. And mysterious things, often with some horror overtones. ”
Ye Zheng tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking about something, and then said: "You invested in this album alone, right? Wang Siqin nodded, and asked hopefully: "Ye Dong, we are still facing a lot of difficulties in the production of the album, are you interested in ......" "This album, I am very interested!" Ye Zheng said seriously: "Whether it is funds, technology, or personnel, as long as this album is needed, we will invest in time and space music......
Of course, first you have to come up with the three songs you've already made, no matter how far you've got, just listen to them for me. Also, if we decide that we want to invest in the production of this album, I would also like to add a few of my creative ......"
Seeing that Lu Chunyang and Wang Siqin's expressions changed from surprise to hesitation, Ye Zheng smiled: "Are you worried that my creation will ruin this album?" Lu Chunyang nodded a little embarrassedly: "Ye Dong, we will never question your creative level." But the style orientation of this album, we have already told you, the techniques of those pop songs, I really can't add them. If...... I'm sorry, but we can only live up to the love. ”
Ye Zheng smiled: "This can rest assured, it is precisely because of your exploration and persistence in music that I decided to invest in this album." Besides, you may not know, but I'm good at a lot of music styles, and I think I can try this kind of music for me...... Otherwise, how about I sing two sentences for you?" "Cappella?" Lu Chunyang and Wang Siqin were both stunned, not understanding what Ye Zheng meant. Ye Zheng had already coughed twice and cleared his throat, and sang softly: "The final death is the same as the original birth, it is a warm time, and the last sunset is the same as the first morning, it is the glorious ...... of the sun."
"Sky Singing" comes from Zhu Zheqin's album "Sister Drum". Even if Ye Zheng's voice couldn't interpret the heart-shaking feeling in Zhu Zheqin's original song, Lu Chunyang and Wang Siqin still felt the moving of this song from the lyrics and melody, and the two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. It's just that if they only rely on this kind of cappella, it will be difficult for Ye Zheng to show his talent in this area, and it will be difficult for them to judge whether Ye Zheng can make the music they want. In music, differences in ideas are more difficult to integrate than differences in style. If the same concept and different styles are different, the different styles can be combined into a colorful and novel work. And if the idea is difficult to get through, it will be difficult to make a satisfactory work.
When Ye Zheng sang this song again, the two were about to speak, but they heard Ye Zheng then say: "My voice is so bad that it makes the two of you laugh." But I just want to tell you that I understand your creative philosophy, and I have the ability to create the work you want. Since the original three songs are too small, then I will have a few more, I believe you, and you should believe me.
