Chapter 676: Classical and Popular

"Of course, my boyfriend, of course I will feel distressed!" Although Sun Tingting blushed a little, she still nodded and admitted.

"It's okay, I still have stock!" Xiao Yao held Sun Tingting's hand and said, "But I don't study violin professionally, I am not sure about that kind of violin solo music, most of them are multi-instrument concertos, either piano, electronic, NeAge, or pop electronic, basically there is no pure classical symphony." ”

"Dor's lesson is classical violin, but this concert is not limited to classical music. Lu Siyuan smiled, "I have agreed with Duo'er to put your "Faded" and "SecreteMotions" in the performance repertoire, neither of which is classical music. ”

"That's good!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"But if you take out all the inventory, will there be no works for our future combinations?" asked Sun Tingting.

"Your combination?" Lu Siyuan asked in surprise, "You two still want to do a combination?"

"Uh~" Sun Tingting was stunned, but still nodded, "Yes, a few days ago, we discussed preparing to make a violin and piano performance combination!"

"Yo, that's still quite interesting. Lu Siyuan smiled and deliberately asked, "Why not a combination of violin and guitar, I remember Bayi said that he prefers the guitar to the piano!"

"Uncle Lu, the combination of guitar and violin, doesn't this feel a little nondescript?" Xiao Yao smiled helplessly, "And I don't have a violin and guitar ensemble." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about these things that I don't have!" After the joke, Lu Siyuan waved his hand and said, "You agreed to write the tune?"

"Well, I agreed!" Xiao Yao said, "Since you said that two songs are a little less, then add two more songs." However, to be clear, the violin is not dominant in these two pieces, at most it is about the same as the piano, and it may sound like the piano is dominant. Is this really okay?"

"You are a guest performer, make a few pieces based on your piano, and let Duo'er temporarily perform a few tunes with you, there is no problem at all!" Lu Siyuan said.

"As a neighbor of Lao Sun's family, I believe in your talent," Lu Siyuan said again, "But as the music director of this concert, I still have to review the music you come up with, and I can't rule out the possibility that your music will be killed by me!"

"It's okay," Xiao Yao said confidently, "If you can agree to let "Faded" and "SecreteMotions" be the performance tracks, the two songs I took out will definitely be able to enter your old eyes!"

"Okay, then I'll wait and see!" Lu Siyuan looked at the watch on his wrist, "Since it's inventory, it shouldn't be long." Let's rehearse first, and watch your song in an hour, is that enough?"

"That's enough!" Xiao Yao nodded, "Give me pen and paper, it won't take an hour!"

The two pieces prepared by Xiao Yao were all songs that he had heard in his previous life, and they were only more than three minutes long, and even if he wrote a score for different instruments, it would not take him an hour.

"Forget you're a memory maniac. Lu Siyuan said with a smile, "Since it is inventory, it is equivalent to writing silently." ”

Lu Siyuan called the staff of the concert hall to bring Xiao Yao blank sheet music and pencils. Xiao Yao was not afraid of interruption, nor did he have to avoid it, so he sat in the audience in the rehearsal hall and silently wrote the scores of the two pieces he had heard in his previous life.

An hour later, Lu Siyuan suspended the rehearsal of Sun Tingting and the orchestra and asked Xiao Yao to collect the score. Xiao Yao had already written it, and handed over a stack of written music scores to Lu Siyuan.

"So many?" Lu Siyuan looked at the thick stack handed over by Xiao Yao, and said with some surprise, "How much did you write?"

"Two songs!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I have also written out the scores of several different instruments, so that it can be more convenient for everyone to practice and rehearse." ”

"You're equivalent to making all the arrangements!" Lu Siyuan said.

"Bayi's music works are basically arranged by themselves!" Sun Tingting said with a smile, and there was pride in her tone.

"Are you going to start practicing directly now?" Lu Siyuan asked Xiao Yaodao.

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "One of the songs has an element of electronic music in it, and I have to make some other electronic rhythms!"

"Of course, the premise is that you are satisfied with these two songs. Xiao Yao pointed to the stack of music scores.

"It's too!" Lu Siyuan looked down.

"Have you ever been to Croatia?" As soon as he read the title of the first song, Lu Siyuan looked up at Xiao Yao curiously.

"I've been to many countries in Europe!" Xiao Yao shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer directly.

"It's good to be a photographer!" Lu Siyuan thought that Xiao Yao's words were an affirmative answer, so he commented with a smile, lowered his head and continued to look.

When looking at Xiao Yao's score, Lu Siyuan unconsciously lit the fingers of one hand, as if he was playing a piano that did not exist.

Lu Siyuan is a world-class violinist, and his musical literacy is also world-class. The instrument he is best at is the violin, but he doesn't only know the violin, which is why he was invited by Sun Zhihao to be the music director of Sun Tingting's recital.

After reading the scores of several instruments in Xiao Yao's first piece, Lu Siyuan closed his eyes, as if he was reminiscing about the melody of the song he had just seen.

After a long time, Lu Siyuan opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Yao with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, and said, "When that incident ended, you should have just been born, right? When did you go to Croatia? What did you see there?"

"Damn, isn't it?, is it so powerful?" Xiao Yao burst into a foul mouth in surprise in his heart.

Xiao Yao's previous life is related to the Croatian War. There is also a Croatian war in this world, and the time is also in the nineties of the last century, Xiao Yao didn't expect that just a name made Lu Siyuan think of this matter.

"Hmm~ I didn't see anything when I went to Croatia, but I heard people talk about it, and then I found some resources to understand it, and then I wrote this song!" Xiao Yao could only make up a reason.

The Croatian war in this world was a few years later than the previous life, when the war happened, Xiao Yao had not yet been born, and at the end of the war, Xiao Yao had just been born. Xiao Yao can't say that he went to Croatia more than ten years later and saw the ruins after the war, so he can only say that he saw it from the data, and then wrote it with feelings.

"What are you talking about?" Sun Tingting said with some puzzlement.

"This piece may have to be practiced tomorrow, let Bayi tell you about it in the evening!" Lu Siyuan said to Sun Tingting, "Here in the band, I'll talk to them later." ”

"Then this piece is passed?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Lu Siyuan nodded, and looked down at the score of another tune.

It was also just a name to see, and Lu Siyuan looked up at Xiao Yao again. But this time it wasn't curious, but smiled and said: "Piano rhythm? The piece just now is dominated by the piano, and the piano runs through the whole piece, this time you simply use the piano as the name, you really plan to focus on yourself?"

"You both said you don't mind!" Xiao Yao spread his hands and said, "I'm a guest performer, and it's normal for Duo'er to temporarily cooperate with me for a few songs!"

"Okay!" Lu Siyuan nodded and continued to read.

This time, after reading all the scores, Lu Siyuan closed his eyes and reminisced, and then opened his eyes and said to Xiao Yao: "I don't have much contact with this electronic music, but I feel that the rhythm of electronic music should be very important in this song." I'll have to wait for you to make the electronic part of this song, and then I can judge whether it's suitable or not. ”

"Yes!" Xiao Yao said, "I can bring you the finished electronic music accompaniment when I come over tomorrow." ”

"Also, you are better than me in terms of electronic music, this song, and that song "SecreteMotions", I want to leave the rehearsal of these two pieces to you!" Lu Siyuan smiled again, "How about it, do you have any interest in challenging the whole symphony orchestra?"

"The whole orchestra is fine. Xiao Yao smiled, "I don't use wind instruments in these songs, but if it's a string orchestra, I used to work with a mini string orchestra when I did the string version of "Faded", so it shouldn't be too much of a problem." But if you really dare to let me rehearse some of the pieces, I'd like to be in charge of the three pieces except for "Faded". ”

"Yo, you're taking the initiative to burden yourself!" Lu Siyuan said with a smile.

"Since you said you don't mind that these songs are dominated by me, then I want to follow my own ideas. Xiao Yao smiled.

"Do you have any other ideas?" asked Lu Siyuan.

"There really is!" Xiao Yao nodded, "Although I wrote "Faded", the concert will use Duo'er's own adaptation, so I won't interfere with it." For the other three songs, I really have some ideas. ”

"Oh, let's talk about it," Lu Siyuan asked with a smile, "Did you come up with another moth?"

"For those three songs, I wanted to add a drum kit, electric guitar and other modern band configurations to the scene. Xiao Yao said, "There are also those two songs with electronic music, during the live performance, I don't plan to play the accompaniment in the electronic music part, but operate the electronic music pad while playing the piano on the spot." ”

"That's not the same as the one in front, it's not like some popular musicians haven't done it before, but while playing the piano and operating the electronic music pads?" Lu Siyuan laughed, "You really have an idea for this! Can you do it?"

"I can play three musical instruments at the same time with my mouth, hands, and feet, and operate two things at the same time with my left and right hands separated, so it shouldn't be a problem!" Xiao Yao said.

Lu Siyuan remembered that Xiao Yao had played three musical instruments at the same time on "The Voice", and he had also written calligraphy while playing with pads while playing with pads in the art examination of Shen Opera, and wanted to change the calligraphy to the piano, Xiao Yao should indeed be able to operate it, so he nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'm looking forward to seeing how you play!"

"I can see it. Lu Siyuan turned back to Sun Tingting and said, "Bayi, this is to make you a classical and pop music performer." ”

"Classical improves the grade style, and popularity increases popularity, the two are combined, isn't it?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

In terms of attainments in music, Lu Siyuan is definitely much stronger than the current Sun Tingting, but in terms of popularity, Lu Siyuan is not even a fraction of Sun Tingting, the second generation of stars who have not officially debuted in theory. Not to mention that Sun Tingting still wants to enter the showbiz as an actor in the future, but she only develops in music, and Sun Tingting has never thought of becoming a pure classical musician with high and low music.

Xiao Yao understood Sun Tingting's thoughts, so he naturally wanted to help her in this regard, otherwise he would not have proposed to do any music performance combination with her. In terms of music, Xiao Yao himself has never wanted to become, and he will not be considered a pure classical musician now.

"Good, good. Lu Siyuan said with a smile, "Duo'er's future development direction, with herself, her parents, and your boyfriend, don't worry about me." As the music director, I was only responsible for the musicality and artistry of the four concerts. ”

At this point in the discussion, the morning rehearsal time is almost over. Even if the pad is operated on site, it is necessary to record some music materials into the pad and other equipment in advance. Xiao Yao not only has to produce the music material for the electronic music part, but also is responsible for contacting a modern band. Xiao Yao, who had a task in his body, did not participate in Sun Tingting's rehearsal of classical repertoire with the orchestra in the afternoon, but went to his own Qijia studio.

Qijia Studio has a music department, a business that helps people record songs, and a group of musicians who often work together. The modern band that Sun Tingting needs for this concert, Xiao Yao plans to find someone from the cooperative musicians of Qi Jia's studio.

Although Xiao Yao's first album was recorded in Qijia Studio, and he has cooperated with many studio partners, after all, he has been in Shencheng for three years, and the musicians who cooperate with him have not only changed some personnel, but also those musicians who are still there, and their level and status have also changed in the past three years. After Xiao Yao went to the studio, he didn't go to find someone by himself, but told Xiao Siqi about the matter and asked Xiao Siqi to help recommend people.

The future daughter-in-law's first concert in China, the cooperation between the son and the future daughter-in-law, Xiao Siqi certainly attaches great importance to it. After listening to Xiao Yao's intentions, he immediately put down the matter at hand, and discussed in detail with Xiao Yao about some first-class musicians he was familiar with and sure that he could come forward, and did not limit the scope to the condition that he had cooperated with the studio.

The modern orchestra plays the same supporting role as the musicians in the Philharmonic Orchestra in the performance of the three pieces. Xiao Yao didn't say that he didn't pay attention to it, but he didn't pay attention to it to the extent that he was too powerful, and the musicians who were too big were not too suitable for Xiao Yao, and it was easy to steal the limelight from the two protagonists. Therefore, Xiao Yao doesn't want any big-name musicians who know Xiao Siqi's personal relationship, but just selects a few musicians who have worked with the studio but are not very famous.

Xiao Yao only asked his father to help pick people, and did not let his father come forward, but he still contacted these musicians one by one and invited them to participate in the live performance of Sun Tingting's recital. It went so well that the musicians all agreed.

Qijia Studio has a folk music performance group "Women's Music Workshop" that combines folk music and modern pop music. In many live performances, the "Girls' Band" is performed with a modern band. Some of the musicians selected by Xiao Yao have performed with the "Women's Music Workshop", and they have heard of it if they have not performed together. They were all very interested in the mode of combining modern bands and traditional Chinese folk music to perform, and they were all highly rated.

They all know that Xiao Yao came up with the idea of combining folk music and modern orchestra performances. This time, I heard that Xiao Yao was going to combine a modern band and a classical band to perform together, so naturally he would not refuse. Two of them originally took on other jobs, and the musicians who couldn't match the time even planned to turn off their original jobs and come to Xiao Yao's side.

After solving the problem of the modern band, Xiao Yao did not stay in Qi Jia's studio for long. After saying goodbye to his father, he rushed home to the recording studio in the basement of his home to make two electronic music materials.
