"Oh, the name has come to mind, it looks like you have a lot of ideas. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info come, sit down and talk about it in detail. Xiao Siqi beckoned Xiao Yao to sit on the sofa together. Even Shen Yinan sat down with interest.

"How did you come up with the idea of combining folk music and pop music?" asked Shen Yinan first.

"I thought of it from my song "The New Concubine Drunk". Xiao Yao said, "In the finals of The Voice, I led the second place by more than 100 votes in the first round with this song. After all, this is a show that is more than singing, and in addition to the tricks I play with in the costume styling, the shock of the song itself to the audience is definitely the most important. And what impressed the audience the most about this song must be the Beijing rhyme in it. But if I had sung a complete Peking Opera on stage at that time, no matter how well I sang, I would definitely not have that result. ”

"Yes, if it's really Peking Opera, not many young people like to listen to it now. Shen Yinan nodded.

"Actually, it's the same with folk music. Xiao Yao said, "If a single guzheng song or pipa song is put together with a piano piece or violin piece for people to choose, I think most people will definitely choose the latter." It's not that our folk music is bad, but if it's pure music, I definitely choose to listen to Western musical instruments. But what if you put the two together? Let's talk about the prelude to my song, the pure folk music in the first half sounds very meaningful, but the second half adds drums, bass and electric guitar, it sounds more energetic. ”

"It's very exciting. Xiao Siqi recalled the second half of the prelude to "The New Concubine Drunk", and nodded unconsciously.

"So, I thought we could make a whole piece of music like this and perform it on its own. Xiao Yao said, "Use folk music as the main instrument, use drum kits and electric drums to bring rhythm, and modern instruments such as bass and electric guitar to accompany folk music to enhance the rhythm and strength of the music." Whether it is a listener who likes to listen to modern pop music and has a certain affection for folk music, or a listener who simply likes this new form of music, as long as they do not have prejudices about folk music, they should be attracted to and like this kind of music. ”

"That makes sense," Xiao Siqi said, "Listen to what you just meant, and deliberately emphasize your appearance?"

"Yes," Xiao Yao said, "this form of music must be better to listen to the scene." Since it is listening to the scene, in addition to auditory enjoyment, visual enjoyment must not be ignored. Originally, most of the students studied folk music, but this new form of combining with modern Western instruments must be more acceptable to young people, so I think the orchestra should be composed of all young and beautiful girls, so that the audience can enjoy both sight and hearing. It could even be called "visual music". Also, in addition to the appearance, the way this kind of music is played should also be different from the traditional way of playing warm and soft, and it needs to be more passionate and expressive, so as to better stimulate the audience. ”

"A more passionate way to play?" Shen Yinan looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"For example, Zhou Jin played the pipa like just now. Xiao Yao said, "I found that Zhou Jin's personality is not as quiet as the girls I have seen playing folk music before, and she is not as gentle and demure as the girls who have played folk music I have seen before, but she is very enthusiastic, very passionate, and very expressive." I think the state she was in just now, if she was on stage, would definitely give people a very different feeling. ”

Xiao Siqi and Shen Yinan recalled the state of Zhou Jin when they recorded the accompaniment in the morning, and they were indeed different from ordinary girls who played folk music.

"So you want to get her on stage to perform?" Xiao Siqi said.

"It's not her, it's them. Xiao Yao said, "I said that it is a Chinese orchestra, but not a folk musician." ”

"Let the four of them form an orchestra?" Shen Yinan said.

"It could be the four of them, but it doesn't have to be the four of them, and most importantly, it's definitely not just four people. My idea is that this orchestra should have about a dozen people, in addition to the guzheng, pipa, xiao, dizi, at least dulcimer and erhu, as for other lesser-known folk music such as xun, gourd, duxian, etc., it depends on the situation. ”

"About a dozen?" Xiao Siqi said in surprise.

"What?" Xiao Yao laughed, "Think about how many people there are in a symphony orchestra? Okay, let's do pop music, not compare with classical orchestras." But think about the idol girl group in South Korea, there are often six, seven, eight or nine people, and there are dozens of group groups in Japan. We are an orchestra of about ten people, are you still afraid that you won't be able to greet us?"

"According to the orchestra, a dozen or so people is really not much. Shen Yinan also said, "According to Bayi's line of thought, there will be one guzheng and one dulcimer, one pipa, one erhu, at least two to three people, two flutes, one Xiao, and others, can there be more than a dozen people? So many conservatories across the country have folk music departments, let's go to those schools to choose, are you afraid that you won't be able to pick out a dozen girls with excellent looks and skills?"

"Actually, we don't have to run to the door to pick it up. Xiao Yao said, "Just like Grandpa Shen said, as soon as the concept of our pop folk orchestra is proposed, it must have a great attraction to those girls who learn folk music, and they can take the initiative to come to us to choose." ”

"I have two methods," Xiao Yao stretched out two fingers, and continued, "First, isn't the current draft competition very popular? Shonan Satellite TV is very experienced in this regard. I remember when we had dinner together after participating in "Everyday Upward", Uncle Wang Yuan seemed to be very concerned about the current situation of folk music, he has now changed from hosting to behind-the-scenes, I heard that he has become the head of the variety show department of Shonan Satellite TV, we can contact Uncle Wang Yuan and cooperate with Shonan Satellite TV to conduct a talent show. In this way, the members are already well-known before the band debuts, and it will be easier to make their debut in the future. ”

"The draft of folk musicians, does anyone watch this?" Xiao Siqi hesitated.

"I only provide ideas, and I still have to discuss it with Shonan Satellite TV, they are more experienced, but it is not feasible, they should be able to have a more professional judgment. Xiao Yao said, "Of course, if you think this operation is troublesome, we can also directly send recruitment to the society." We said that we want to launch a pop folk orchestra and select members of folk musicians, and I believe that there should be a lot of applicants who apply directly. Either of these two methods covers both students in school and musicians who have graduated and entered society, and there is a wider range of options than going directly to school and only picking students who are currently in school.

Of course, in the latter way, the members of the band will be less well-known when they debut. But we have a lot of concert resources in our hands, and when the time comes, we will arrange for them to perform as guests at the concerts of some big-name singers for free or even with money, as long as their performance is good enough, they will not worry about not being well-known. The advantage of this is that the members appear together, and the visibility gap between individual individuals will be smaller, which is more conducive to the internal unity of the team. And if it is a draft, when the band debuts, there will be a relatively large fame gap between individual members. As a music group, unity is very important. ”

"You have so many ideas, why don't you take the lead in this matter?" Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao with a smile.

"Not coming. Xiao Yao immediately shook his head and said, "Dad, I still have a lot of things to do in the back of filming music videos and writing scripts, and besides, I will take the college entrance examination next year, and I can't relax in my studies, so you will let me be in charge of forming a folk orchestra now? Do you want to tire me to death? I only provide ideas, and I will not participate in specific operations." Besides, whether it's selecting people or training new people, it's not my forte. Most... I'll give you a few pieces of this genre, and then you'll find someone else to write according to the genre. There's only so much I can do for you!"

"Your mom is right, you're really getting lazy. Xiao Siqi shook his head and smiled.

"Come less!" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes helplessly, it seems that both of his parents are virtuous, and they want to squeeze their son when they have the opportunity, but this time Xiao Yao is resolutely unwavering. He wrote the script because he had an interest in it, and he could learn to write the script without having to do it himself. Forming an orchestra? Xiao Yao had a big head when he thought of that bunch of trivial things. Besides, after more than two years of development, the studio is now strong, and the studio is not without talents in this area. And in terms of cultivating musicians, even Xiao Siqi himself, whether it is experience or ability, I don't know how many times stronger than himself.

"I'm done with my thoughts, I won't be involved in the specifics, Dad, you can discuss it with the people in the studio yourself. Now that the recording is over, I'll go home first. Xiao Yao felt that it was more dangerous to stay any longer, Xiao Siqi might come up with some reason to drag him into the formation of the Chinese orchestra, so he stood up and prepared to slide away, "Shoot the MV, notify me after the preliminary preparations are completed, and I won't be here tomorrow." ”

"Have you made an appointment with Duo'er?" Xiao Siqi asked with a smile.

"Personal privacy, not to you. Xiao Yao said that he was about to leave.

"Wait," Xiao Siqi hurriedly stopped, "I mean, your mother said that the actor of the MV has not been selected yet, let you ask if Duo'er is interested in making a cameo in your MV? Isn't the protagonist of your "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" three men and one woman? Your mother said that she wants Duo'er to try the role of that girl. ”

"Let Duo'er act?" Xiao Yao was stunned.

"Yes," Xiao Siqi nodded, "Your mother said that Duo'er's image and temperament are very good, and she is more suitable for that role." Although Duo'er has never acted before, her parents are both actors, and she has spent a lot of time in the theater and crew with her parents since she was a child, and she has learned a lot from them. Just a few minutes of footage in this MV, it wasn't a problem for her at all. ”

"Okay, I'll ask her, but if she doesn't want to, don't put pressure on her through Uncle Sun and their side to let her come. Xiao Yao nodded.

"Don't worry, we don't even force you to do what you don't want to do, how can we embarrass Duo'er?" Xiao Siqi smiled, "So you did make an appointment with Duo'er tomorrow?"

"I..." Xiao Yao rolled his eyes helplessly again. If you don't answer, just open the door and leave.

"You father and son," Shen Yinan smiled and nodded Xiao Siqi, "It's still the same for more than ten years, Lao Tzu doesn't look like Lao Tzu, and his son doesn't look like a son." ”

"I've been like this for more than 10 years, and I think it's good anyway. Maybe there are still many people who envy the way our father and son get along. Xiao Siqi said proudly. (To be continued.) )
