Verse 146: Drums
The appearance of suona surprised Bao Xiaobei.
With the wave of Chinese style set off by Shen Huan, many musicians have poured in, and all kinds of national musical instruments that have not appeared in pop music before have also appeared, but among them, the frequency of suona, as a mainstream national instrument, is the lowest, almost none.
Because the timbre is extremely prominent, high-pitched and rough, suona can be called a hooligan in the musical instrument world, usually speaking, 8 clarinets can't suppress a suona, the power is extremely terrifying, I can really say that I kill a hundred flowers when the flowers bloom.
It is also because of this power that even if everyone finds a variety of national musical instruments, and even some unpopular ones such as Tao Xun are used, no one uses suona - an orchestra can't suppress this thing, you let the singer press it?
So for Shen Huan to use suona, Bao Xiaobei felt very interesting.
"Brother Bao. β
Shen Huan saw Bao Xiaobei coming in, and temporarily put down the work in his hand and said hello to him, "Are they still recording?"
The implication is that you don't come here if you have nothing to do, and go busy with your work. Bao Xiaobei pretended not to understand, and said: "Well, it's still recording, I've watched it once, and some of it has been recorded, so I'll come over and take a breath." β
Bao Xiaobei said this, Shen Huan couldn't help it, he smiled, and said, "It's really hard Brother Bao, then you can sit and rest first." β
After speaking, after Bao Xiaobei sat down on the side, Shen Huan continued his work.
"Teacher Meng, it was a little softer just now, you can try it with some momentum. β
At his request, the drummer began to play the drums according to the score again, and Shen Huan listened here.
They haven't started recording accompaniment yet, they're just rehearsing, Shen Huan needs to find the point he needs, and then record the feeling he wants to make an accompaniment, but the progress is a little bit unsmooth, because these ethnic musicians, especially this drummer.
These people were all found by Xinbaosheng from the Yangcheng National Orchestra, after all, Xinbaosheng does not have such a resident musician need. It is also because they are all newcomers, and it is the first time to cooperate with Shen Huan, so the cooperation is inevitably a little jerky, and there is no tacit understanding, and it often takes Shen Huan to talk for a long time and try several rounds before they can find the feeling that Shen Huan wants.
"Knock! knock......"
Because of its own timbre, the drum is very majestic, but it is only a very simple rhythm, and Bao Xiaobei can't hear anything famous for a while.
After two more rounds of revisions, Shen Huan felt that it was almost ready to be recorded, but after thinking about it, he still didn't start recording, but said: "The drum beat is almost here, let's play the ensemble first and listen to the feeling." β
He's going to put the drum beat into the whole system and listen to it and see how it feelsβthis is the one that he can't put down.
Then the musicians looked at the score and began to play in an ensemble under the command of Shen Huan.
The effect of the ensemble is not satisfactory, after all, everyone is only familiar with their respective parts, and there is no training in coordination at all, but the general feeling is that it can still come out.
It's still a little bit of a bad feeling.
Shen Huan frowned slightly, thinking so.
With the cooperation, the weakness of the drum beat, which was originally okay, was reflected, and it did not play the role of the backbone that Shen Huan expected, and the hardness was still a little worse.
Shen Huan didn't feel very satisfied, but Bao Xiaobei, who was sitting next to him, heard it with his eyes shining again and again.
This piece is interesting! It can be heard that it is an orthodox folk music style in its bones, full of ancient flavor, but it also adds many modern popular elements, and the whole piece is extremely exciting, and he is enthusiastic to listen to. In particular, the addition of suona and the drum form two main lines, one bright and one dark, one is pulled high, the other is the bottom, and the sense of space of the whole song is pulled out, so that the suona is not rootless duckweed, solid and powerful, and the high-pitched voice affects people's nerves, as if they have been hit with chicken blood in people's bodies.
"Good!"
After they finished playing, Bao Xiaobei couldn't help but shout hello.
This song attracted him creatively and technically, and he couldn't wait to hear the final version of this song with lyrics, and he also wanted to see how Shen Huan used his vocals to fight suona, which must be very interesting.
But as soon as he turned his head, Bao Xiaobei saw Shen Huan's frowning expression.
"Teacher Shen, what's wrong?"
Shen Huan glanced at Bao Xiaobei, and did not speak immediately, but first let the musicians take a break, sat down next to Bao Xiaobei, and expressed his worries: "The drummer is still not very good, and the technique is still a little worse, and he can't play the kind of momentum I want." β
Bao Xiaobei recalled the song just now and imagined it, but he had only heard this ensemble version, and he couldn't imagine what kind of feeling Shen Huan wanted for the time being.
But Shen Huan said no, then it won't work.
When Bao Xiaobei was working on the "Meteor Shower" album before, he began to be disappointed in Shen Huan, feeling that he had been lost in front of money and his talent was no longer there, but when he heard this song, he knew that this guy's talent was still there, and his inspiration was still so dazzling. It's just that this guy seems to be a little selfish, and he keeps all the good things for himself.
Technically, Bao Xiaobei has no doubt about Shen Huan now, and thinks that Shen Huan said no, then there must be a reason why he said no.
"Do you want to change someone?"
Bao Xiaobei took the initiative to help Shen Huan think of a way, "I know a person named Ye Xiangrong, who is very good at drumming, and is known as the king of drums in eastern Guangdong." It just so happens that his home is in Yangcheng, maybe he is in Yangcheng now. β
He was completely out of the mentality of wanting to see the full version of this song, so he took the initiative to help.
"The Drum King?"
Shen Huan was stunned.
This head sounds a bit bluffing.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Bao." β
To have better results, of course he also wants.
The album he wants to make for himself now is mainly to brush up on popularity and status in the music world, not to mention how much he earns, in terms of quality, he must first strive for perfection, strive for perfection, and become a classic album, so that he can really establish his status in the music world.
"Okay, then I'll call right away!"
Bao Xiaobei looked even more anxious than him, and immediately couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and start fighting.
β¦β¦
Shen Huan's luck is still quite good, Ye Xiangrong happens to be resting at home in Yangcheng, and he doesn't have any work for the time being.
Hearing Bao Xiaobei's invitation, he still didn't want to come, after all, he was finally able to rest and rest, too lazy to move, but he heard how wonderful Bao Xiaobei played this song on the phone, if he didn't come, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
It's just that as soon as he saw him for the first time, Shen Huan was a little puzzled.
The middle-aged man in front of him is average, about 1.7 meters, wearing a pair of glasses, Si Sven, just from the appearance, it really can't make people associate with the word "drum king", more like a teacher, or a very classical one.
However, of course, he didn't show it on his face, and shook hands with the other party very warmly, "Teacher Ye, welcome!"
"Hello, hello. β
Ye Xiangrong is not only elegant in appearance, but also elegant in speech and behavior, and looks very kind.
Shen Huan was already a workaholic, and Ye Xiangrong was also attracted by Bao Xiaobei's rhetoric, so the two exchanged pleasantries for a while and then entered the work. What Shen Huan didn't expect was that this elegant-looking drum king had a ...... momentum as soon as he got on the drum Still like that.
He also thought that his momentum would be completely different after he played the drums, didn't it all show like this in film and television works?
This made him a little disappointed, but when he heard Ye Xiangrong's drumbeat, he was shocked.
It's just two simple drum beats, but it does sound like it's completely different from another drummer.
When he first came into contact with this score, Ye Xiangrong's drum was still a little jerky, but under the solid and powerful basic skills, it did fully meet the requirements in Shen Huan's heart, and completely knocked out the feeling he wanted.
Zhang is relaxed, weightlifting is light, and full of momentum, this is Shen Huan's evaluation of Ye Xiangrong's drum.
That's him!
