Chapter 126 Background Music

Xiao Yao walked out of the rehearsal room of the Dawn Dance Troupe, took out his mobile phone and dialed out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Doer. Are you free at night? My brother wants to ask you for a favor. Xiao Yao said into the phone, "I want to make a piece of music, there is a violin in it, can you help me with the music?"

"Soundtrack, what soundtrack?" Sun Tingting was quite happy when she received Xiao Yao's call, but she didn't expect Xiao Yao to ask her for help, and she couldn't help but be petty and said: "You can't remember me when you're fine, and you want to find someone to help you remember me?"

"Don't, is it okay for my brother to admit his mistake?" Xiao Yao hurriedly reassured, "I found a dance team and choreographed a dance for them, but there is no matching background music yet, I plan to get the background music of the dance tonight." In my project, there is a violin soundtrack in the background. You're the best violin player I know, and I'm the first to think of you, so you can help. ”

Listening to Xiao Yao's praise for her good violin, Sun Tingting's heart felt a little more comfortable, and her tone loosened a little: "What kind of dance team? Why did you start choreographing and sounding the dance team again?

"It's a coincidence," Xiao Yao replied, "Didn't my parents open a studio to recruit a dance team? Then I came up with an idea and choreographed a dance for them, which should be quite fun. But this dance doesn't have a background music, and I'm going to make it myself tonight.

In my vision, the musical accompaniment needed to have the sound of a violin. My dad and I don't play the violin, and we don't have a violin at home, so I thought of you first. How about you help me get the background music out tonight, and I'll show you to dance tomorrow?"

"It's... All right. "Regarding Xiao Yao's matter, Sun Tingting really couldn't make up her mind to really refuse, and besides, a few of their friends knew that the fun things that came out of Xiao Yao's mouth must be quite fun.

"What kind of song is this?" Xiao Siqi frowned as he took the score that Xiao Yao had come up with in a hurry. In addition to the drum and keyboard, the main instrument in the score is the violin, and the drum is the master of the rhythm, the keyboard is the auxiliary, and the instrument used in the main melody in the whole score is the violin.

It's not that there have been no musical works that combine classical instruments and pop instruments like the violin, but Xiao Yao's piece is obviously a very hip-hop style, adding violin to this style that is the most different from the classical style, which has never been seen in Xiao Siqi's music career.

"This is the background music I made for a dance. The dance itself is a mix of ballet, modern and hip-hop, so of course the background music has to be this combination of classical and hip-hop style. Xiao Yao explained.

"It's... The combination of classical and hip-hop, ballet and hip-hop, can this be combined? The style is too different, right?" Xiao Siqi wondered.

"Try it, anyway, there are a lot of pieces of meat, I think it should feel very special. Xiao Yao said.

"Why did you suddenly think of getting such a thing?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Remember that I recommended a dance troupe to you at noon today?" Xiao Yao saw Xiao Siqi nodding and continued: "I was with them this afternoon, and I had a whim to make a ballet, a dance combining modern dance and street dance, but I didn't find a background music that could match, so I made one now." Xiao Yao smiled, "If it is done, the studio should be able to receive the dance video with this music as a preliminary work." ”

"You're so interested in this dance troupe, won't you join them too?" Xiao Siqi asked strangely.

"Not yet, but once the music and dance come out, it won't be necessary, maybe they'll have to recruit me. Xiao Yao smiled, "But I'm going to find the two captains inside to steal the teacher, it's unlikely that I'll officially join, at most I'll play with them when I'm fine." ”

"One last question," Xiao Siqi said, "the drums and keyboards are easy to play, both of us can do it, but neither of us knows the violin, and we don't even have a violin at home, how can we get it?"

"I've asked Do'er to help, she'll be there in a moment. Xiao Yao said, "Before Duo'er arrives, let's record the drum and keyboard tracks first." ”

When Sun Tingting came to Xiao's house with the violin, Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao, father and son, had already done almost half of the drum and keyboard tracks, just free up some time for Sun Tingting to familiarize herself with the melody of the violin part, and practice a little more by the way. When the drum and keyboard tracks are completely done, Sun Tingting is almost ready to start recording.

Sun Tingting began to learn to play the violin at the age of eight, and has been learning for seven or eight years.

"There's really nothing to say about Dole's violin. At the end of the recording, Xiao Siqi couldn't help but praise Sun Tingting and said, "I heard that you first learned piano for three or four years, and then changed to violin when you were eight years old. ”

"Uncle Xiao, don't praise me," Sun Tingting said a little discouraged, "I originally wanted to learn the piano all the time, but when I was eight years old, my brother Bayi came to my house to play the piano a few times, and he played much better than me at that time, which made me feel that I couldn't play the piano anymore, so I went to learn this violin that he didn't know." ”

In fact, this is just one reason why Sun Tingting changed her major to musical instruments, and the other reason is because she overheard a conversation between Xiao Yao and Sun Zhihao back then.

At that time, it was during Xiao Yao's rehearsal of the drama with Sun Zhihao, and Xiao Yao had been living in Sun Zhihao's house. Once when he had nothing to do, Sun Zhihao took a copy of the script to Xiao Yao and asked him what he thought. It is a story similar to the story of "101 Marriage Proposals" in her previous life, but the heroine in that script is a beautiful pianist, not a cellist.

The movie in his previous life had a score of less than 6 points on Douban, but the box office exceeded 200 million, and Xiao Yao didn't know what to say. In the end, Xiao Yao can only talk about the heroine's profession. The more famous pianists that Xiao Yao remembered in his previous life, whether it was Lang Lang and Li Yundi who played classical music, or Dong Chou in the pop music scene, Wang Leehom was a man.

Female performers, Xiao Yao only remembers Chen Mei who plays the violin, and Sister Chi Ling's demeanor of playing the cello in the movie is indeed very beautiful, so Xiao Yao suggested that Sun Zhihao modify the identity of the heroine, saying that it is difficult for women to play the piano visually to reflect the unique elegance and softness of women, and it is not as good as playing the violin, a classical string instrument.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Sun Tingting overheard Xiao Yao's words, and at that time she was the most convinced of Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao said that girls playing the violin are better than playing the piano, and she felt that playing the piano was not as good as Xiao Yao's, so she wanted to change to an instrument that Xiao Yao didn't know, so after Xiao Yao left the Sun family after Xiao Yao's drama, she proposed to her parents to learn a new musical instrument. When she was still young and the cello was too big, she took up the violin.

Sun Zhihao asked Sun Tingting to learn musical instruments, that is, from the perspective of improving her own quality and temperament, to cultivate her artistic quality, not really to cultivate a world-class performer, Sun Tingting wanted to learn a new instrument, Sun Zhihao also followed her wishes, and invited a teacher to start letting her learn to play the violin.

"Is this still my business?" Xiao Yao heard for the first time that Sun Tingting gave up the piano and learned the violin instead for his reasons, and he was also stunned when he heard the words.

"Anyway, I always have one thing that is better than you Brother Bayi, and you are starting to learn violin now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up with me. Sun Tingting wrinkled her nose proudly and said, "Let's listen to the finished product after the synthesis track, I want to know what the effect of my violin and your original instrument will be when combined." ”

"Okay, let's hear how well we're doing. Xiao Siqi said along with Sun Tingting. As he spoke, he turned on the playback function on the playback device.

The music begins to play, starting with a very energetic drumbeat of typical hip-hop rhythms with electronic processing, followed by a violin that rushes out and makes people feel like their hairs stand on end.

The whole piece is based on the drum beat, and the violin and keyboard either take turns or together to express the melody of the piece, in which the drum beat and keyboard are electronically treated, and the violin is the original sound, which together makes the whole piece not only make people feel the wildness of electronic hip-hop, but also taste the majestic atmosphere of classical string music. The collision of these two very different styles not only does not make people feel awkwardly disobedient, but gives people a strange feeling of blood boiling and goosebumps at the same time.

"Awesome!" Sun Tingting couldn't help but praise, "It's the first time I've heard this kind of music, I really don't know how Brother Bayi could have thought that music could be so playful." ”

"Well," Xiao Siqi also nodded, "It's really tasteful, and it feels very special." I'm now looking forward to seeing what the dance looks like to go along with this tune. ”

"If it goes well, you should be able to see it in two days. Xiao Yao smiled, and turned to Sun Tingting, "Duo'er, I'll take you to see the dance tomorrow, let's take the DV and record this dance." When the time comes, please make a cameo appearance as a photographer and help us record it. ”

"Okay, no problem. Sun Tingting agreed with a smile. As the daughter of a producer, director, screenwriter and actor, she has been to film and television crews over the years, and she knows how to operate professional cameras, let alone shoot something with DV.

"Okay, then let's talk about it. Xiao Yao said happily, "It's not too early now, I'll send you back first, and I'll pick you up at your house after lunch tomorrow." ”

"Uncle Xiao, Brother Bayi, can you give me a copy of this song, I want to listen to it a few more times when I go back. Sun Tingting didn't leave immediately, but asked Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao.

"Of course there is no problem. Xiao Siqi smiled, took out a USB flash drive from the drawer and inserted it into the device, and after some operation, pulled it out and handed it to Sun Tingting's hand.
