After Yang Kun made a recommendation to the two, he made an appointment with Zhang Wei to have dinner together in the evening, and left in a hurry, he had to record the picture with another student under his command today, otherwise he would definitely not be able to rush to Guangdong tonight to prepare for tomorrow's concert.

After Yang Kun left, Zhang Wei and Qiu Yueqi stayed in the rest place prepared for the contestants and began to discuss the songs that Qiu Yueqi was going to sing.

Sitting in front of the sofa, Zhang Wei took the lead and said: "Miss Qiu, I read the script, the song you chose is "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" by the Tang Band, this song is not controlled by ordinary people, I don't know how you are going to interpret this song, so I want to listen to your singing first, and then we will discuss how to adapt it, what do you think?"

"Teacher Zhang, don't call me Miss Qiu, just call me Qiqi like Teacher Yang Kun. ”

Zhang Wei heard that Qiu Yueqi was very polite, and felt that although this little girl was dressed in punk, she spoke softly, and there was no such wild performance, maybe this kind of punk makeup was just a makeup deliberately put on to meet the needs of song singing, so he said: "It's okay, then don't call me Teacher Zhang, you just call me Brother Zhang or 'Brother Ting', Brother Ting is my nickname." Is there a place to practice singing here, let's listen to your singing first. ”

"Yes, but I don't know if there are people in the singing room at this time. ”

"Let's go and see. ”

The two came to the singing room, Fei Yuqing was taking his contestants to write and draw on a piece of paper in the room, and when he saw Zhang Wei and Qiu Yueqi coming, he stood up and said with a smile: "Hey, Teacher Zhang, are you here to practice singing? We have already practiced, make room for you." ”

"Ouch, little brother, I can't afford to be your teacher, just call me Xiao Zhang. Zhang Wei said modestly, and then said: "I have only seen Qiqi sing in the show, and I have not heard it live, so I have to listen to her timbre first, and then see how to change the next track." ”

"Oh, okay, but don't worry, I have seen Qiqi's strength, absolutely professional, not only the voice performance is perfect, but the singing skills are also impeccable, if you want me to say, if Qiqi mixes in the music world in the future, it will definitely be amazing. Fei Yuqing praised Qiu Yueqi so much that Qiu Yueqi was a little embarrassed.

"You're praising me too much, I'm not that good. Qiu Yueqi hurriedly humbled herself.

"Hey, how can you praise it, I'm seeking truth from facts. Fei Yuqing looked serious, but Zhang Wei wanted to laugh.

Fei Yuqing is not only an old-timer in the circle, but also has a well-known personality and temper, no matter who it is, he will praise it, and he can also praise it ingeniously if he calculates that the other party's performance is really not good. So in the circle, I have never heard of Fei Yuqing having a conflict with anyone, and he is definitely a good person. Moreover, Fei Yuqing likes to "drive" at every turn in variety shows, and is regarded by the majority of netizens as "Demon King", "Old Driver", "Asian Dirty King" and "Master Zu", and the former "hey, hey, hey" is even more regarded as a classic and widely spread. Based on this style, Fei Yuqing is now a popular guest on many variety shows, which shows how much he is loved.

After Fei Yuqing left with his contestants, Qiu Yueqi sang a song "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" seriously in the practice room, and Zhang Wei listened very carefully throughout the whole process. Zhang Wei felt that since he came to be a guest singer for others, he must go all out, because this matter is related to the future of others, so there can be no sloppiness.

After singing a piece of heavy metal style music, Zhang Wei finally knew why this soft-speaking little girl was dressed in punk makeup, he didn't expect that Qiu Yueqi's singing style was so "simple and rough", except for falsetto, he didn't use any skills at all when singing, it was such a straightforward singing, but there was a power to destroy everything.

When it comes to the music theory and theoretical basis of music, Zhang Wei may not be as good as Qiu Yueqi, but when it comes to music sensitivity, Zhang Wei is definitely above Qiu Yueqi.

After Qiu Yueqi finished singing, Zhang Wei touched his chin and pondered, and said: "There are no flaws overall, the degree of completion is also very high, and your unique voice with a metallic texture is also a big plus in singing." Can you tell us about your understanding of the song?"

Qiu Yueqi said: "I personally think that the Tang Band should have two hidden meanings when singing this song, one is to vent the emotions bound by the mainstream values of the society at that time, and the other is the anger against the invasion of foreign culture, as written in the lyrics, 'Chrysanthemum ancient sword and wine were soaked in coffee into the noisy pavilion and aliens worshiped the ancient moon at the Temple of the Sun', which is actually a kind of attack on the admiration of foreign people in that era, and there is also a sentence in the lyrics 'Follow fate into mythology' 'Returning to the Tang Dynasty in a dream', this represents the creator's fascination for the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the self-confidence of the nation and culture at that time, and the free and inclusive attitude of a great country. ”

"Well, that's a good point, is there anything else?" Zhang Wei asked.

"No more. Qiu Yueqi shook her head.

Zhang Wei said: "You can see these two layers of meaning very well, first of all, we say emotions, anger is one of the attitudes of rock music. On the other hand, you feel the songwriter's fascination for the cultural confidence and freedom and tolerance of the Tang Dynasty, which is also true. In fact, I think there is another core meaning of this song that you don't feel, that is, confusion. Looking at the classic songs of the Datang band, such as "The Sun", "Flying Bird" and "Paradise", etc., there is a kind of confusion towards everything that people are chasing in the background of the big era. In fact, it is more of a confusion about the direction of reality, which extends to specific things, such as confusion about music or life, which is the core of the song "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty". Have you ever seen a hedgehog?"

The jumpiness of Zhang Wei's topic made Qiu Yueqi stunned for a moment, and nodded: "I've seen it." ”

"The hedgehog is a very timid creature in nature, and at the slightest disturbance, it shrinks into a ball and protects itself with sharp thorns, but its essence is weak and not aggressive. The same is true of this song, you have just interpreted the angry and longing emotions of this song, but there is still a lost core under a wild cathartic singing. And I think that this song uses angry emotions to express the confused yearning, and it can't give full play to the uniqueness of your voice when it is placed on you. The song "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" has a strong imprint of the times, you should be a post-90s generation, it is difficult for you to understand the background and deep thinking of the 'Tang Band' when creating this song, so there is a congenital deficiency in the expression of the level.

I think we can change the arrangement, the genre is still dominated by heavy metal rock, but the song is re-sung with a confident core and torn singing, to interpret a kind of tragedy of the pioneer finding the way. In this way, it can not only give your voice more room to play, but also give the song another soul, and it is also suitable for your own confident attitude towards the road ahead. Moreover, this is also a kind of tribute to the old classic rock bands like the 'Datang Band', what do you think?"

"Teacher Zhang, what you said is really good, I haven't thought about these at all, so how can we change it?" Qiu Yueqi didn't realize that she used honorifics in her words, which was the best affirmation of Zhang Wei's comment on this song.

"Have you heard of the restoration of the Tang Dynasty's "King Qin Breaking Array Music"?"

"No, my dad teaches piano and my mom sings bel canto, and I rarely come into contact with traditional Chinese classical music. ”

Zhang Weidao: "I plan to rearrange the music with traditional Chinese drums, cymbals, suona, pipa, erhu and shakuhachi, and use these traditional instruments in the prelude to create a majestic momentum, and then turn to modern heavy metal instruments to make an attempt to combine Chinese and Western." ”

"Ahh......h This is equivalent to a re-arrangement, and it is using traditional instruments, is this possible?" asked Qiu Yueqi in surprise.

Zhang Wei smiled and said: "Isn't the fun of music about innovation, what's the matter with trying it, but you have to tell the program team first, you have to invite a few masters of traditional musical instruments, otherwise it will be easy to mess up." ”

With a basic idea, Zhang Wei went to the assistant director and discussed with him about inviting a master of traditional musical instruments.

The assistant director listened to Zhang Wei's idea, couldn't be the master, and quickly contacted the director, producer and music director, after listening to Zhang Wei's idea, the music director of the program agreed very much, and the chief director was also quite moved, if this song can be made according to Zhang Wei's description, it will definitely become a highlight of the show, seeing that the chief director and music director both recognized Zhang Wei's idea, the chief producer also nodded.

In an international metropolis like the magic capital, it is not difficult to find a few masters of traditional musical instruments, and traditional musical instrument performance is not popular now, so in the evening, several masters of musical instrument performance are found, only the shakuhachi instrument is difficult to do, because this musical instrument originated from the Sui and Tang dynasties, lost in the long river of history, and now there are not many shakuhachi masters in China, only in Dongying, who inherited the shakuhachi instrument, this kind of master-level figure is considered rich. Zhang Wei, who got the news, directly told the assistant director in charge of the matter that he could play the shakuhachi instrument in person, and now he is working overtime to get the new song out.

Tomorrow afternoon, Zhang Wei and Qiu Yueqi will have a run-in and rehearsal with the band and the masters of traditional musical instruments, and the official recording will start in the evening, so the time is tight and the task is urgent, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. And Zhang Wei not only has to adapt the original song with Qiu Yueqi, but also needs to practice the shakuhachi instrument to a certain level, which is of course very tight.
