Chapter 127: Women's Music Workshop

Xiao Yao agreed to Ye Jiaying's participation in the adaptation of the script, basically giving an account of his free time for a long time in the future, but this is also a matter for the future. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThings still need to be completed one by one, and Xiao Yao's top priority at present is to complete the recording of the new album.

At present, only the last song of the new album recording "The New Concubine is Drunk" has not been completed, so on the morning of another weekend, Xiao Yao arrived at the recording studio of Qi Jia's studio early.

When Xiao Yao arrived at the recording studio, his father Xiao Siqi had not yet arrived, but Xiao Siqi's master, who left China Entertainment with Xiao Siqi and joined the studio, the veteran producer Shen Yinan was already waiting in the studio.

Shen Yinan is old, and he left China Entertainment to join Xiao Siqi's studio because of the small workload here and the fact that he is idle. Xiao Siqi also regarded him as the treasure of the town, and ordinary projects would not easily ask Shen Yinan to make a move. But this time it is his first album for his baby son, Xiao Siqi naturally attaches great importance to it, and also invites his master to serve as a co-producer.

"Hello Grandpa Shen. Xiao Yao greeted Shen Yinan obediently. This is my father's master, and he is his grandparents, Xiao Yao has always been respectful and polite in front of such an old man.

"Bayi is here, it's quite early, have you eaten breakfast?" Shen Yinan said with a smile. For Xiao Siqi's demonic son, Shen Yinan has always liked it very much. Recently, after watching the song scores of Xiao Yao's new nine primary production albums and his performance in the recording studio, Shen Yinan likes Xiao Siqi, a talented son in music, even more.

"I've eaten it. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, and then asked, "What about you? Come so early, have you eaten?"

"No," Shen Yinan shook his head with a smile and said, "The breakfast shop that I often go to near my house is happy today, and it didn't open." ”

"What's okay if you don't eat breakfast, you wait, I'll buy you breakfast." Xiao Yao said that he was about to open the door and go out.

"No need..."Shen Yinan got up to stop Xiao Yao.

At this time, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a girl ran in with a paper bag, almost colliding with Xiao Yao, who had already walked to the door, and shouted lively: "Teacher Shen, I bought it for you earlier." ”

"Uh..." The girl looked at Xiao Yao, who flashed to the side with her agility, stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I almost bumped into you, I didn't expect someone at the door inside, so I rushed in directly." I... I'm also afraid that Teacher Shen will be hungry, so I'm so reckless..."The girl finally found a reason for herself.

"Xiao Yao, why are you here? I watched your performance on "The Voice of China", it is really amazing, one person plays three instruments at the same time, how do you do it? Also, when you and Chen Yuhan PK, the piano is also very good. By the way, how many places did you get in the end?" The girl bowed her head and apologized a little embarrassed, and raised her head slightly to look at the person in front of her as she spoke, and after recognizing that the person standing in front of her was Xiao Yao, who had recently become popular because of her performance in "The Voice of China", she couldn't help but ask a series of questions.

"Are you?" Xiao Yao said suspiciously, looking at the unusually lively girl in front of him.

"Her name is Zhou Jin, and she is the musician we are looking for to play the pipa. Shen Yinan on the side said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Shen, your morning. Only then did the girl realize that she was still carrying the breakfast she had bought for Shen Yinan, so she hurriedly sent it to him.

Shen Yinan sat on the sofa for resting on the side, put the breakfast on the coffee table in front of him, and said to the girl named Zhou Jin with a smile: "Thank you, I also trouble you to make a special trip." ”

"It's okay, compared to your guidance to me these days, this little errand is not worth anything. Zhou Jin said with a generous smile.

"Grandpa Shen, who are you?" Xiao Yao looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"Oh," Shen Yinan explained to Xiao Yao while eating breakfast, "Isn't there a lot of folk music in your 'The New Concubine Drunk'? This is the musician your father found to play the pipa." Because this song is a combination of folk music and Western instruments, your father did not go to those old folk music players, but found some young people with better performance skills, who are more receptive to this combination and have a better understanding of Western instruments, so it is better to cooperate. ”

"Oh," Xiao Yao nodded. Then he stretched out his hand to the girl and said, "Hello, I'm Xiao Yao, I've worked hard for you." ”

"Hello, I'm Zhou Jin," Zhou Jin generously stretched out his hand and shook Xiao Yao, and said with a smile: "You are a big star, I am your fan, it is my honor to meet you." Also, such a trivial thing as buying breakfast for Mr. Shen is not hard. That's right... Teacher Shen said just now, your "New Concubine Drunk"?"

"Yes," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "You're helping me record an accompaniment, that's why I said it's hard." ”

"Is it really yours?" Zhou Jin was surprised at first, then tilted his head and said, "I remember the mentor selection battle of "The Voice of China" broadcast last weekend, and at the end of the competition, you told Chen Nan that all the following competitions should use your own original songs. Although the show has not yet been broadcast at this time, it should have been recorded. You're recording at this time, so this song is your original, and it's also a song that you've sung on a later show, and it's going to be released after the show is all over, right?"

"Yo, this young man's brain is spinning fast. Before Xiao Yao could answer, Shen Yinan on the side had already given a thumbs up.

"Well, you're right. Now that Shen Yinan has admitted it, Xiao Yao has nothing to hide, "But the effect of the show needs it, please keep it secret for the time being, and don't leak the details of this song in advance." ”

"Don't worry, your dad and the musician have confidentiality agreements. The details of the songs must not be revealed until the album is released. It's still Shen Yinan said.

"That's... Can you tell me your final result? Did you win the championship? I made a bet with Jiao'er that you would win the championship. Zhou Jin couldn't help but say again.

"Jiao'er?" Xiao Yao said curiously.

"Oh, Tang Xuejiao, who plays the guzheng and is also the accompanist of this song, she will come in a while. Just tell me, and I promise not to leak it. Zhou Jin raised three fingers and said.

"You lost. Xiao Yao replied simply.

"Ah? no, is there a shady scene in the show?" Zhou Jin said subconsciously, and then shook his head again, "It stands to reason that no, all the students in the entire show, in terms of background, no one should be more powerful than you, if you engage in black-box operations, you should also give you the champion." Is there really anyone better than you in these shows? Who won the championship in the end?"

"Hey, you're too curious, aren't you?" Xiao Yao smiled, "You better wait for the show to air and watch it on TV by yourself." ”

"Stingy. Zhou Jin pouted.

"Zhou Jin, don't just chat, since you both have arrived, let's go practice first. Shen Yinan, who had already finished eating breakfast, wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "I can also listen to how well you two cooperate first?"

"Cooperation?" Zhou Jin said strangely, "Aren't the accompaniment and singing recorded separately?"

"I'm a blower. Xiao Yao replied, and walked first to the recording studio through a glass window.

In Xiao Yao's impression, most of the girls who play folk music are relatively demure and elegant, just like I saw in the program "Everyday Upward", but this girl named Zhou Jin is unusually lively, it is really hard to imagine that she is a girl who plays folk music, she is completely more like a female drummer than Sarmeon Smith. However, when Xiao Yao saw Zhou Jin pick up the pipa in the recording studio, he also determined that this girl was indeed a good player at playing the pipa. The posture is standard, the technique is skillful, and it sounds very good. Just looking at her expressions and movements, she is indeed more enthusiastic than Xiao Yao's impression of the average pipa girl.

After the two practiced for a period of time under the guidance of Shen Yinan, Xiao Siqi and other musicians also arrived one after another. In addition to Xiao Yao's own Xun playing in the song "New Concubine Drunk", there are also four traditional national musical instruments, such as guzheng, pipa, dizi and Xiao, and among these four musicians, in addition to Zhou Jin, who plays the pipa, the other three are also young and beautiful girls.

The group of musicians has been practicing and rehearsing this piece for some time. Although Xiao Yao's Xun is the first time to join the team of joint practice, because his Xun only appears in a short section of the prelude, and he is the creator of this song and is very familiar with the song, there is no big problem with it. In one morning, Shen Yinan and Xiao Siqi recorded the accompaniment part of the song as planned.

Several musicians of Western musical instruments left after the recording was completed because they had other jobs, but the four beautiful folk musicians were relatively leisurely, and seemed to be more excited to see Xiao Yao, and unanimously asked to stay and watch the recording of Xiao Yao's singing part in the afternoon.

Regarding this request, Shen Yinan first said that he did not object. Xiao Yao felt that he was not afraid of being watched by others, and he did not object, so Xiao Siqi agreed.

The afternoon recording also went well. It was originally a song that had already been sung, and after this period of practice and consolidation, Xiao Yao's Jingyun singing voice became more and more proficient, so even the studio version of Shen Yinan, who was very strict with the details, did not take more time to record than Xiao Siqi expected.

"Xiao Yao, you are too good, you didn't win the championship when you sang like this, and the voice program team definitely has something wrong with your brain. Xiao Yao, who finished the recording, originally wanted to come over and listen to the effect, but as soon as he opened the door, he heard Zhou Jin's lively voice.

"Jin'er, it should be that the audience has something wrong with their brains. The rules of the show are that the audience votes, and it is not for the program team to give the champion to whomever it says. Another girl said to Zhou Jin. Xiao Yao took a look and found that it was Tang Xuejiao, the girl who played the guzheng that she bet on Zhou Jin.

"That's... Thank you," Xiao Yao touched his nose, "But the show hasn't been broadcast yet, so it's best not to comment on the actual situation until you see it." ”

"Hmm... That, since the recording has ended, and we have heard Xiao Yao sing this song, we will not bother and leave first. The girl named Du Xiaowen, who was playing the bamboo flute next to her, gently pulled Zhou Jin and Tang Xuejiao, and said goodbye to Shen Yinan and Xiao Siqi.

"Okay, thank you. We are very pleased with your performance, your contact information has been saved in our studio, and we will contact you again if we have the opportunity to do so in the future. By the way, don't forget to go to the finance department to get your pay. Xiao Siqi said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Shaw. Then we'll take our leave. The four girls bowed slightly, and then left together.

Xiao Yao looked at the backs of the four girls leaving, and an idea came to him.

"Bayi, what are you looking at, everyone is gone. Xiao Siqi smiled and said, "Don't use your photographer's eyes to look at every beautiful girl you've ever seen, okay?"

"Dad, the person you're looking for won't let me see it?" Xiao Yao turned to look at his father and said, "Who told you to find this kind of beautiful musician." ”

"I'm the one who chooses based on my performance level as the first criterion. Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "But in the case of the same level of technology, it is understandable to choose some eye-catching." I learned most of this aesthetic from you, a photographer. ”

"Dad, now people like them who study folk music should be in a relatively ordinary situation. Xiao Yao suddenly asked.

"yes, that's the way it is. These learners of folk music, at the same level, are inferior to those musicians who play Western musical instruments, both in terms of popularity and income. Xiao Siqi said, "I didn't look at the musicians in the morning, and they all had work in the afternoon when they played Western musical instruments, and they all ran away." The four of them stayed, on the one hand, because they wanted to see you sing, and on the other hand, it was not because they didn't have work in the afternoon. ”

"I have an idea, how about a Chinese orchestra in our studio?" Xiao Yao proposed.

"Chinese orchestra, accompaniment, how many songs can we have like "The New Concubine Drunk", is it necessary to have a folk orchestra?" Xiao Siqi said.

"It's not an accompaniment, it's a performance. Xiao Siqi said, "Just use them as the protagonists to perform and release pure music albums of folk music, just like the concerts and albums of piano, violin and even symphony orchestras, let's make folk music." ”

"Folk music? It's very difficult to do, and in this market, pure music is not easy to do, and folk music doesn't have as many audiences as pianos and violins. Xiao Siqi began to discuss with Xiao Yao seriously.

"Audiences can be developed and nurtured. Xiao Yao said, "Of course, we don't do that kind of traditional folk music, let's combine traditional folk instruments with modern pop music performances to make a new pop art group." Then, Xiao Yao gave Xiao Siqi an explanation of the group in the form of the Twelve Women's Orchestra in his previous life.

"Sounds like a trick. Shen Yinan, who was listening to the conversation between the two all the time, said, "I think you can give it a try." If it does, it will be a good thing to help expand the appreciation of national musical instruments. ”

"Yes, let's pick female folk musicians with both appearance and technology, and help them create some music with modern pop music elements and characteristics. Xiao Yao said, "I even thought of the name, it's called the Women's Music Workshop!" (To be continued.) )
