Chapter 915: Background music
"Really?" Teacher Zhao smiled, then showed a puzzled expression, and asked Sun Tingting, "Then why didn't Tingting be so good when we practiced yesterday?
"It may be that the dance movements choreographed by the two teachers are relatively difficult, and Xiao Yao's two movements are relatively simple, right?" Sun Tingting said, "Also, maybe it was because Xiao Yao danced." Growing up, I always seem to remember what he did better than anyone else!"
"The last sentence is the point, right?" Mr. Zhao said with a smile, "Xiao Yao does it clearly, this love show!"
"Actually, I wasn't sure I remembered everything before I jumped just now," Sun Tingting said, "but those movements are either the same as him, or the opposite, or they have to cooperate with each other, and when I dance with him, it seems to be natural to remember." ”
"Have a heart?" Lei Yu smiled bitterly, "It sounds like you're still showing affection!"
"Teacher Zhao, in such a comparison, I suddenly feel that I am very bad!" Lei Yu turned his head to Teacher Zhao and said, "Should I give up the position of this partner to Xiao Yao?"
"If it weren't for Xiao Yao filming during this time, do you think it would be your turn to get this position?" Mr. Zhao said with a smile, "People have participated in regular competitions in the United States!"
Xiao Yao has participated in the National Street Dance Competition in the United States. Although the National Street Dance Competition is also televised, it is a TV program, but the contestants in that competition are basically professional dancers, and there are no entertainment stars, and its nature is that there are more professional dance competitions than variety shows.
Lei Yu and several other professional dancers and guests in the show became famous because they participated in another dance talent show on Donghai Satellite TV two years ago, and then became professional dancer guests of this show. Judging from this point alone, Xiao Yao's experience of participating in dance competitions in the United States does not seem to be bad.
If Xiao Yao participates in the show, it is possible that the program team will deliberately put him in the lineup of professional dancers to partner with Sun Tingting for the sake of the show.
Of course, this will certainly cause some controversy. But first of all, this is a variety show, not a professional dance competition. As a variety show, I'm not too worried about this controversy. Secondly, putting Xiao Yao in the professional dancer group is to enhance his professionalism. Non-professional dancers partner with non-professional dancers to compete with professional dancers and non-professional dancers, in fact, it is a loss. For other groups of celebrities and professional dancers, they actually take advantage of it, and it is not necessarily a fierce opposition.
"It's just a final, he was the choreographer in the team before!" Lei Yu retorted, "Even if he doesn't film, he will be in the position of the two of you, not mine, right?"
Xiao Yao is an actor and singer after all, if he wants to participate in this show, it is definitely more likely that he will participate as a celebrity guest like Sun Tingting.
"Don't joke about me, teachers!" Xiao Yao stopped the ridicule of the two and asked the two choreographers, "What do the teachers think of the overall effect of the dance that Tingting and I just had?"
"Looks pretty good," Mr. Li nodded and said, "But now there's a new problem!"
"I know, the problem with the background music!" Xiao Yao said, "The original background music was too short!, but the current dance does not exceed the length of this song, and it should be okay to re-cut it!"
"Well, the background music must be re-cut," Mr. Li said, "but there is still a problem. I think there are a few places in the hip-hop dance moves you have in front of you that don't work so well with the music. ”
"Oh?" Xiao Yao looked at Teacher Li and said, "Do you think that hip-hop movements don't match the music, and you want to change the song?"
"It's not to change the song!" Mr. Li shook his head and said, "There is no problem with the rhythm of the hip-hop dance movements, and it is worthy of the rhythm of this song." It's just that I think the hip-hop movements in front of you are more powerful, and there are some freeze-frame movements, and the background music has always been more gentle, and the expressiveness in this regard is slightly worse. ”
Xiao Yao thought about it and nodded.
Although the hip-hop movements designed are all softer and smoother, which can match the rhythm of the whole song, there are some short freeze-frame movements in the middle, which should be better with some drums in the music, and the beginning of the original version of the song does not match the drums that show these freeze-frame movements.
"This is easy to do!" Xiao Yao looked up and said, "This song originally had no prelude, I can make a melody and put it in front as a prelude." This intro is made specifically for that hip-hop movement, and there will be some drum beats in the arrangement to match those freeze-frame movements. ”
"In addition," Speaking of this, Xiao Yao thought of a later movement, and continued, "For the later part of the gesture dance, I can also write another melody and put it in the middle of the song, try to feel the same, and there will be no sense of disobedience." In this way, the music and lyrics of your original dance moves do not need to be changed, and it is easier to practice. ”
"Write two more melodies, when will they be written?" Teacher Li asked, "Tingting, they will record this round of the official competition tomorrow night, and they will have a stage rehearsal tomorrow afternoon." ”
"It's okay, it's a big deal to practice for another morning tomorrow morning!" Teacher Zhao said, "With Xiao Yao's ability, I will definitely be able to write in one night, right?"
"In order to ensure the state of tomorrow night's official competition, there is no plan for tomorrow morning. Sun Tingting whispered to Xiao Yao, "The main thing is to consider physical fitness!"
"You don't have to wait until tomorrow!" Xiao Yao said, "It's almost noon now, you must have time to rest at noon, right?" I can make it during the lunch break, and you can use it when you practice in the afternoon!"
"Can you make it at noon?" Teacher Li looked at Xiao Yaodao.
"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.
"But we don't have any musicians in this show, we don't even have musical instruments, what are you going to do?" asked Mr. Li.
This show is a dance show. Although dance is also related to music, it is not the focus in this show. The background music of the contestants is prepared in advance, all of which are accompaniment, and there is no live band in the show.
"You can do it on the computer!" Xiao Yao said, suddenly patting his head and saying, "Oh no, I didn't bring my computer!"
"Boss, I'll drive you back to get it now?" Ye Qingyu said.
"It's so far from the hotel, how long do you have to come and go?" Xiao Yao said, "When you come back, the lunch break will be early!"
"Is it okay to just need a computer?" Chen Sheng, the director on the side, said, "Our program team has a computer!"
"It's not just any computer. Xiao Yao said, "I need to use very professional music software, and if I am not a professional music creator, I will not have those software on the computer." Even if you download it from the Internet now, it will take time to download, install, set up, and debug, and it is estimated that it will take a long time. ”
"I don't think so. Chen Sheng said, "We don't have a recording studio in this studio, and the program team doesn't have resident musicians. ”
Although the program team will also contact some musicians to help the contestants prepare dance music, it is basically before starting to practice, and the program team does not need to invite musicians to the recording location of the program.
"What then?" Lei Yu asked, "Or do you have to wait for tomorrow?"
"No, I have a way!" Xiao Yao said, "Although this show has no band and no recording studio, there is one in this photography base." I'm going to rent a recording studio at noon and do it!"
This is a large photography base, there are more than a dozen studios, with different functions, some are to meet the needs of variety show shooting and recording, and some are set up to meet the special effects shooting of film and television works. There are also music programs in variety shows, and naturally there are studios with recording studios in this photography base to meet the recording needs of this kind of programs.
"Are you sure there's here?" Chen Sheng asked.
Generally, the recording of a variety show only needs to use one or two studios. This base is not from Shencheng TV Station, and the program team only comes here to record programs, and they only need to care about the studios they use, and it is normal that they do not have the energy to care about the facilities of other studios in the base.
"Of course it's certain!" Xiao Yao nodded, "It's in Studio 6! I have been here here to participate in another show before, and I knew it when I was wandering around the base." ”
Another program that Xiao Yao came here to participate in before was naturally "The Character of an Actor". That program was not a music program, and there was no need for a recording studio, but that time Xiao Yao stayed here for two days, and the next morning he got up and went to the base to observe whether the students had morning exercises, and basically visited the entire photography base.
Although Xiao Yao only walked around the open-air public area and did not enter every studio, there will be some introductions to the facilities in the studio outside some studios, and Xiao Yao has seen it. Xiao Yao is a musician, so he naturally remembered the studio number with a recording studio.
"Okay, I'll have someone contact the people in the base management office and help you rent the recording studio in that studio!" Chen Sheng immediately said, "Wait a minute!"
"Director Chen, are your program teams going to pay me an appearance fee?" Xiao Yao asked.
"What?" Chen Sheng said with some confusion.
"This visit is not my business announcement, it is my private act, but I just happened to meet you guys shooting. Xiao Yao said, "Since it is a private act, it is better for me to rent the recording studio myself! If your program team helps me rent it, then the nature of my visit this time will change, and I will ask you for an appearance fee!"
"Change is changed, pay the venue fee!" Chen Sheng said with a smile, "It's not that our program team can't afford to pay!"
"But in this way, the nature of my visit this time is different in someone's eyes!" Xiao Yao looked at Sun Tingting and said, "I don't think the gains outweigh the losses!"
"Oh~" Everyone looked at Xiao Yao's eyes, immediately understood, and laughed and let out a burst of boos.
Chen Sheng smiled and said, "Okay then! We will fulfill you and not be this wicked person!"
"Then I'll go now!" Xiao Yao said to a few people in the dance room, "A few people practice slowly." ”
"Qing Yu come with me!" Xiao Yao said to the two assistants standing by the wall, "Xiao Ran, Qing Yu wants to help me record, and you can send two boxed lunches to the two of us in a while!"
"Mr. Xiao, it's definitely no problem for you to ask me to work, but I think it shouldn't be me who will bring you food in a while!" Ding Ran smiled, "Don't say that you can't move me, it's because I can't rob others!"
"Ding Ran!" Sun Tingting glared at Ding Ran.
"Why, aren't you going for a while?" Ding Ran said with a smile.
"It's almost noon now, do you want us to practice here in the morning and watch Xiao Yao's recording together?" Mr. Zhao proposed.
"No!" Sun Tingting said, "It's not the end time we set yet, let's practice for a while, Xiao Yao's recording is nothing to look at!"
"You've seen too much, we haven't seen it!" said Mr. Zhao.
"I still have to go to the management office to rent a recording studio. Xiao Yao said, "Do so many of you follow me to the management office? Or go to stand stupidly outside Studio 6? The recording studio here is not only in Studio 6, but I don't know if anyone is using Studio 6, so I don't necessarily rent Studio 6." I'll send a message to Ding Ran after I get it done, if you want to go, it's not too late to go at that time. ”
"Okay, listen to you!" said Mr. Zhao with a smile.
Xiao Yao left with Ye Qingyu and went to the management office of the photography base to negotiate with the relevant person in charge to rent a recording studio. There is a vacant recording studio in the photography base, Xiao Yao pays the price and records by himself, and the base does not need to help him find a recording engineer and other staff, so there is naturally no problem.
The recording studio in Studio 6 was idle, not far from the studio where Sun Tingting and others were, and when it came to Studio 6 before, Xiao Yao rented the recording studio in Studio 6.
After being led to the recording studio by the base staff, Xiao Yao asked Ye Qingyu to send a message to Ding Ran, observed and understood the equipment in the recording studio by himself, and then started work.
It is not difficult for Xiao Yao to match two dance moves with two musical melodies for himself, but the slightly difficult part is that these two musical melodies must be connected to the song, and they must not sound disobedient.
However, this is only a little difficult for Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao remembered many classic songs and pieces in his previous life, and he had already exercised his ability to create music in this life, and he was still very confident in completing this task in about two hours during his lunch break.
When Xiao Yao left the dance studio, he didn't take away the original background music of Sun Tingting and others, which is not a problem. was able to learn that dance after watching it once, and Xiao Yao also knew how the background music was cut on the basis of the full version of the song. Xiao Yao downloaded the full version of the song from the Internet, imported it into the equipment in the recording studio, edited it as usual, and added the two new sections he made.
The computer in the recording studio has the professional recording software that Xiao Yao needs, but the instruments in the recording studio are complete, so Xiao Yao naturally does not use computer software to do simulations. With Ye Qingyu helping to operate the recording equipment, Xiao Yao went to the recording room to play by himself, and the efficiency of the recording was not low.
Almost half an hour later, Xiao Yao recorded a new prelude at the beginning. When Xiao Yao added this paragraph to the source material, Sun Tingting and others happened to arrive.
Xiao Yao turned his head to take a look, and found that it was Sun Tingting carrying a large paper bag.
"Have you eaten yet?" Xiao Yao asked.
It's only been half an hour, and Xiao Yao doesn't feel like Sun Tingting is coming back after eating.
"No!" Sun Tingting shook her head and put the paper bag on the coffee table in the operation room, "I'll eat with you!"
"Qingyu," Sun Tingting said to Ye Qingyu again, "I only brought two lunches, and I didn't bring you! You go out to eat with Xiao Ran, and come back after eating." I'll help Xiao Yaolu in a while!"
Ye Qingyu just helped Xiao Yao operate the start and pause of the recording equipment, and the post-processing was still done by Xiao Yao himself. Sun Tingting and Xiao Yao have spent a lot of time in Xiao Yao's recording studio, and they have long learned the simple operation of recording equipment from Xiao Yao.
"If you don't take a break at noon, aren't you tired?" Xiao Yao asked Sun Tingting.
"I'm not tired!" Sun Tingting said, "Dancing in the morning is physically tired, you just sit in front of the console and push a few buttons, and you don't make any effort, just change your brain, the same is rest." ”
"Okay, then you can record it for me!" Xiao Yao nodded.
"Yo, it's good to stay together for a while!" Mr. Zhao said with a smile, "Sure enough, it's a state of love for a young couple." ”
"Teacher Zhao, the first paragraph is done, do you want to listen to it?" Xiao Yao picked up a pair of headphones and handed them to Teacher Zhao, changing the topic.
"I'm done so soon to do the first paragraph!" Mr. Zhao walked over with great interest.
"Why is there no sound?" Mr. Zhao put the headphones on his head and said with some confusion.
"It's not open yet!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Boss, you eat first, I'll come!" Ye Qingyu walked over and said, "The two choreographers haven't eaten either, Xiao Ran and I will walk with the two teachers for a while!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yao got up and gave up the seat in front of the operating table to Ye Qingyu, sat on the sofa with Sun Tingting, and took food out of the paper bag.
The new piece of music was not long, and it didn't take long for the two choreographers and Lei Yu to take turns to listen to it.
"It feels good!" Teacher Zhao smiled at Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting, who were sitting on the sofa eating, "Don't disturb your dinner, we will also go to dinner, see you in the dance studio in the afternoon!"
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
