Chapter 6 Good Sound, Good Song, Good Music
The sixth brother is a good person in this industry, in his early fifties, when he was young, he mixed all over the rock circle in the capital, and he did not mix up any big names, and later changed his career to open a musical instrument training class, from the initial rented a private house, to now he has opened such a small piano shop, and his life is rich.
In the past few years, he has also opened a small bar with a few former rock veterans, in the small alley near Sanlitun, the business is average, barely supporting. The reason for the poor business is also because these old cannons don't like those "bang bang bang" electronic music houses and the like, and they don't like the popularity of love and love, and if they have to insist on rock and roll, business will naturally not be much better.
Maybe this is the last stubbornness of the rock and roll veteran of the sixth brother. It may also be that I have money now and don't care about the profit or loss of investing in such a small bar.
The sixth brother received 70,000 or 80,000 yuan from Ganqi, and he didn't stay long, so he went on his own. The sixth brother has seen too many things like the band, and there are no more things that can enter his eyes, except for those old cannons that few people listen to anymore. For him, business is business, feelings are feelings, and music still has to have an attitude. Whether the music written by Ganch has an attitude or not, he doesn't know, and he doesn't bother to know.
Ganch's rehearsal room is done, and a good set of guys is done.
Dong Yi opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Qi, do you want to rub it first and drink a big meal, or rehearse first?"
"Rehearse first. Gan Qi replied that there was no time to wait, and that he had to do it quickly.
"Okay, then do it!" Dong Yi roared again, once again entering a kind of excitement that he was about to become the emperor's superstar.
Gan Qi took out a stack of papers from his pocket, which was full of simple scores, picked out "Ordinary Road", and handed it out: "Take a look first, follow the rhythm and repeat, and then make it up." ”
The effect of a song at the end, the bottom song is the foundation, and after the foundation is the arrangement, whether the arrangement is good or not, directly establishes the overall atmosphere and feeling of the song, which takes a lot of thought.
However, Gan Qi actually had a formed version in mind, and he was only rehearsing and finalizing it.
Dong Yi and Xiao Xiao looked at the simple score, for Dong Yi, the rhythm has actually been set, it depends on how to play this drum beat, whether it can play the technique, and play the feeling it should have.
For Xiao Xiao, it is a little difficult, because this is the first time he needs to make up something by himself, and he has to match Ganqi's guitar, not abrupt, but also beautiful, which is a big challenge for her.
At this time, in fact, the importance of the music producer is revealed, how to make up the chords, when to enter what instrument, which paragraph, when to start with the vocals, how to start, how to climax into the chorus, how to end, where the atmosphere comes from, and so on...... These are all things that producers should be responsible for.
The band doesn't have a producer, so they all have to do it themselves, but fortunately, Gan Qi already has a version in his heart, and he doesn't bother with it.
Seeing that Xiao Xiao was embarrassed, Gan Qi directly took the bass and gave her a demonstration.
In fact, the bass is the guitar, just like the difference between the cello and the violin, the tone is high.
In the rehearsal hall, Gan Qi kept saying: "Don't go in the drums first, don't go in the bass, first use the guitar to pad the bottom tone, and the vocals sing first......"
Ganchi said as he played his guitar and began to sing. In fact, the accompaniment at the beginning of this song should be entered with a keyboard, but without a keyboard, Gan Qi can only use the guitar first.
When the song came to the place where I had crossed the mountains, rivers and seas, Gan Qi turned his head and said, "At this time you start to come in, the drums are a little weaker, use the cymbals, and then give the rhythm ......."
"I used to ruin everything for me, here to be harmonious, you all have to be harmonious, so that there is a feeling......"
"Interlude, interlude...... The rhythm should be clear, and the beat should be crisp, but not too heavy...... Okay, the harmony comes ......"
Gan Qi's method is somewhat of a local method of steelmaking, and Gan Qi can't think of any other more practical methods at this time, there is no producer, no arrangement, everything is freshly made.
In fact, it also revealed that Gan Qi is still a little lacking in experience, and if he has more experience in the future, then Gan Qi will make more preparations in advance, so that he will not be playing and singing like this, and he will have to conduct at the same time.
Three people, a small rehearsal hall, came over and over again, it was dark, and no one complained, they were all working hard.
Gan Qi shouted again: "Combine again, I won't remind you, you all remember, don't make mistakes, see the overall effect." ”
"Brother Qi, don't worry, it's ......" Dong Yi is still in excellent condition.
Xiao Xiao also nodded: "Well, I remember everything." ”
Ganci's guitar has risen, singing himself first, then drumming with the bass, harmonies, climax harmonies, interludes......
At this time, it was the time when those students came to the piano shop after school, and Gan Qi didn't notice that there were many students standing at the door listening, from teenage elementary school students to teenage middle school students.
A few older middle school students were listening with their ears pricked up, and some of them asked softly, "What kind of song is this?" ”
"Which star just released a new song, right?"
"It should be, or maybe it should be the original in the program "Good Songs of China"?"
"I don't know where I have time to watch TV lately, and my mom has taken away my phone. ”
A few middle school students were talking, when suddenly a voice came from behind them: "Why don't you hurry into the piano room to take classes when you arrive?"
Several middle school students looked back and saw that it was the bald boss Sixth Brother, who also had another title, the principal of the Six Arts Musical Instrument Training School. There are quite a few students, about a hundred, all of whom take classes here.
Several students hurriedly bowed their heads and ran quickly, into the piano room to take classes, for these students, taking musical instrument lessons is also torment, students of this age, how much they love musical instruments, most people can't talk about it, are forced by their parents.
The students were gone, but the sixth brother stood at the door and listened.
After listening to it for a while, the sixth brother's expression changed a little, and he raised his hand to push the door in, but his hand stopped in mid-air.
The song inside was still singing, and the sixth brother was standing at the door. Listening and listening, the sixth brother raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, he has had an attitude towards music all his life, even if he becomes a market businessman, he still maintains the last bit of stubbornness in his heart.
At this time, the sixth brother seemed to hear the attitude again, he was a little surprised, some surprised, in fact, it was more of a resonance.
Because the song "Ordinary Road" is really good.
The music slowly stopped, and the sixth brother pushed open the door, walked in, and spoke directly: "Good sound, good song, good music." ”
After three consecutive praises, Gan Qi was stunned, and then smiled: "Why is the sixth brother here?"
The sixth brother didn't even answer Ganqi's words, and said directly: "Ganqi, go, the sixth brother will take you to a place and show your hand." ”
"Huh?"
"Sixth brother will take you to show your face, just come with me, and invite you to drink. The sixth brother stepped forward directly and grabbed Ganqi's shoulder.
