Chapter 134: Is It Necessary to Explain to You?

The new album has been released, the MV has been all done, and Xiao Yao, who doesn't have to participate in variety shows to help promote the album, has a much lighter burden, and now there are only two jobs left: adapting the script and writing tunes for the planned women's folk orchestra "Women's Music Workshop". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is no hurry to adapt the script, and Xiao Yao's own workload is not large. Ye Jiaying invited a young female screenwriter with great potential in the circle to be responsible for the adaptation of the script. Xiao Yao only needs to contact this female screenwriter named Feng Jing regularly, tell her some classic episodes and plots in his mind as ideas, and then wait to see her play. So in most of the rest of his free time, Xiao Yao began to prepare music for the "Women's Music Workshop".

"Women's Music Workshop" was originally copied from Xiao Yao's inspiration from the "Women's Twelve Music Workshop" in his previous life, and even the name, Xiao Yao just removed the number twelve. Because Xiao Yao remembered that there were more than twelve people in this orchestra, he didn't know why it was called "Twelve Women's Orchestra", so when he named it in this life, Xiao Yao removed this number.

In a week's time, Xiao Yao moved three songs from the "Women's Twelve Orchestras" in his previous life, namely "Jasmine", "Kangding Love Song" and "Dream Water Town".

The first two songs, which originated from the folk songs of Su Province and Sichuan Province respectively in the previous life, became famous throughout the country after being adapted and performed by modern musicians in the forties and fifties of the twentieth century. In today's world, these two folk songs are still nationally famous, but the musicians who adapted them are different. Therefore, Xiao Yao's modern adaptation of these two folk songs can be regarded as opportunistic to a certain extent.

The other song "Dream Water Town" is a song sung by Jiang Shan in her previous life. As a successful actor, Jiang Shan has released several music albums, but the songs that can be remembered, Xiao Yao feels that in addition to the theme song "Confused Love" of the TV series "Addiction" that made her popular, the only thing that can be remembered is this song "Dream Water Town", which was popular all over the country. At the same time, this is also the first modern pop song that Xiao Yao heard in his previous life with many national musical instruments in it, so he was very impressed by it.

After the three tunes came out, Xiao Yao didn't just throw it to Xiao Siqi, this kind of large-scale performance of the tune, or listen to the actual effect with Xiao Siqi and Shen Yinan, to see if there is anything that needs to be modified in the soundtrack. So after Xiao Yao discussed with Shen Yinan and Xiao Siqi, he decided to find a time to record a sample first and listen to the effect.

Due to the fact that there are too many talent shows on various TV stations in recent years, although the content of a program of musicians is novel, the form is old-fashioned, and it is not very attractive to the audience, and it is easy to be seen as a follow-up work of the dog's tail mink, and the marketing department of Shonan Satellite TV evaluates the prospects of this program is not very good, so in the end, Xiao Siqi can only choose the second way that Xiao Yao originally proposed, using a form similar to company recruitment to select the folk musicians needed.

Now the formation of the women's folk orchestra is still in preparation, and the studio is still in the stage of placing recruitment advertisements in various places, so Xiao Yao wants to hear the actual effect of the song, so he can only ask Zhou Jin and a few of the girls who helped him record "The New Concubine Drunk" to help.

Because they had a good cooperation with the studio before, these folk music girls were also considered by the studio to form a women's folk orchestra, and they mentioned the studio's plan to them a long time ago. Several girls were also very interested and expressed their desire to participate. As one of the alternatives for the Future Orchestra, when I heard that Xiao Yao had written a piece for the Future Orchestra to perform, and asked them to come over to play the audition effect, several girls naturally agreed without hesitation.

The four girls play the instruments of the guzheng, pipa, xiao and dizi, and the girl who plays the dong flute, Peng Weiwei, can also play the flute, but none of the four girls can play the erhu. Therefore, only Xiao Yao himself is on the erhu part, and as for the dulcimer, it is Shen Yinan, a veteran who happens to play the dulcimer.

Modern Western instruments are not worried, and there are many musicians who have a cooperative relationship with the studio and can be on call.

The National Day holiday has passed, and Xiao Yao has to go to school, so the recording can only be held on weekends.

got Xiao Yao's three tunes, and Shen Yinan was immediately opened up by Xiao Yao.

"You are adding a soundtrack of modern Western instruments to traditional folk songs," Shen Yinan said to Xiao Yao with a smile while holding the score, because Xiao Yao arrived in advance, and several musicians had not yet arrived, so the three of them discussed Xiao Yao's tunes first. "There are a lot of folk songs of various ethnic groups in our country with a long history and national popularity, and there must be many of them that can be adapted according to your ideas. ”

"Why do you have to be domestic, you can also use foreign ones. Xiao Yao added with a smile, "There are also a lot of foreign folk songs that have a very high reputation in our Chinese country, and they can also be changed according to this model." ”

"Yes," Xiao Siqi also nodded, "This orchestra is very characteristic of our Chinese nation, if it is really done, there will definitely be a market abroad, and there will definitely be opportunities to perform abroad, so it is also necessary to prepare a few well-known foreign songs." ”

"Actually, it's not just a folk song," Xiao Siqi said with the song "Dream Water Town", "Bayi, this song is all newly written, right? I think I can fill in the lyrics for it, make it a song, and then find someone to sing it." ”

"Dad's eye for music is really poisonous. Xiao Yao sighed in his heart. "Dream Water Town" was originally a song in his previous life, Xiao Yao just took out the part of the song, but he didn't expect Xiao Yao to see the essence of this song at a glance.

"Yes, who do you want to sing?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile, "This song is called "Dream Water Town", and the whole song has the feeling of a Jiangnan water town. The words must also be related to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, do you have the right candidate? It is best to sing the kind of girl with a soft and glutinous voice, soft and delicate and unique to the feeling of a Jiangnan woman. "To be honest, Xiao Yao in her previous life felt that it was not appropriate for Jiang Shan to sing this song, although she was a native of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, and she could be regarded as a Jiangnan woman, but her most impressive image was the role of Du Mei in "Addiction", such a person who could tie up her husband, but she didn't have the gentleness and grace of a Jiangnan woman at all, so when Xiao Yao listened to this song in her previous life, she always felt a little awkward.

"How is Fan Linxuan?" Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "She is a southerner, she has nothing to say about her singing skills, and her own timbre is also suitable." ”

"Fan Linxuan, are you going to sell the copyright of this song?" Xiao Yao said in shock.

"The tune is part of the song, and this tune was written by you for the future "Women's Music Workshop", how can you sell it to others?" Xiao Siqi said.

"Then you said you want to find Fan Linxuan to sing? She is not a contracted singer in our studio. Xiao Yao said.

"Who said that?" Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Didn't you say that whoever wins your studio will sign whoever you want?" she is the champion, you are the runner-up, of course the studio wants to sign her." ”

"But I heard that when she entered the top four of Teacher Chen Huan's team, a record company had already asked her to sign a contract. Xiao Yao said strangely.

"A record company approached her, but it only expressed its intention to sign a contract with her, and did not sign the contract in black and white, because the record company said that she would set her final signing conditions based on her final achievements in the show. After the show ended, I went to her, and she was still negotiating the terms of the contract with the record company, and before she signed it, I cut it off. Xiao Siqi said with a smile.

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to rob people like this? It's not good for our studio's reputation to spread it?" Xiao Yao frowned with some concern.

"Yo, I didn't think you had anything to do with the studio's reputation. Xiao Siqi gave Xiao Yao a thumbs up, and then continued, "I've been working with your mother for two years, and I won't be able to consider this aspect? As long as the work is done properly, the other party will not necessarily be disgusted. ”

"Do you do the job in place?" Xiao Yao was still a little puzzled.

"In fact, in the music industry, the most scarce resource is not singers, but creators. Xiao Siqi explained, "Good singers are not difficult to find, and good music works written by talented songwriters are treasures." Although our studio is small, we have two very important creators, your father and Mr. Shen, and after the show, you can still be counted as one. I promised our studio to provide five songs with guaranteed quality for their company's singers, which was enough to eliminate their company's dissatisfaction with us.

Also, on the one hand, after the appearance of our company, Fan Linxuan herself is more inclined to sign a contract with our studio, on the other hand, the Oasis record that has watched the finals also knows that although Fan Linxuan is the champion, whether it is the light in the competition or the fame gained after the game, it is all covered by you, the runner-up. ”

"Why don't I know about these things?" Xiao Yao said with some dissatisfaction.

"You are not the management of the studio, is it necessary to explain these things to you?" Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao strangely.

"I..."Xiao Yao said.

"You can't be unhappy with being in the same company as the person who beat you, right?" Xiao Siqi laughed.

"Of course not. Xiao Yao immediately shook his head and said.

"That's good. Xiao Siqi said, "After releasing your album, the music department of the back studio will prepare an album for Fan Linxuan in addition to setting up a "Women's Music Workshop". The lyrics of this song will be handed over to you, and the song will be included in Fan Linxuan's album and handed over to her to sing. Maybe the album of the orchestra and Fan Linxuan can come out at about the same time, and there will be such a song at that time, and the two can also cooperate in the promotion of many occasions. ”

"Well, no problem. Xiao Yao nodded. The lyrics are originally ready-made, and naturally it is not a problem for Xiao Yao.

"When you say that, it seems to give me another idea. Shen Yinan said, "We can not only change folk songs and add modern Western instruments to folk music, but also adapt modern pop songs and add folk music to modern Western instruments." When the time comes, you can also invite the original singers of those songs and the orchestra to perform together. If this band becomes popular, maybe some singers will come to us and ask us to adapt their songs in this way. ”

Since Xiao Yao definitely said that he would only provide a few songs, and Xiao Siqi was not particularly familiar with folk music, the burden of creating music for the orchestra in the future mainly fell on Shen Yinan, who also had a deep understanding of folk music, so he was also more concerned about this aspect.

"That's a good idea. Xiao Yao agreed. In the previous life, the "Twelve Women's Bands" also performed with pop singers in the form of live accompaniment several times. Many things in music are all figured out, even if Xiao Yao doesn't mention it, Shen Yinan can think of it himself. (To be continued.) )
