Chapter Twenty-Six: We Are on Our Way
The two of them concentrated on reading the score, and Zuo Mengfeng also had the opportunity to talk to Qin Fangge, and it could be seen that Qin Fangge was a very assertive person, for example, when he was dealing with things on stage just now, he also seemed more mature.
Among the songs that Qin Fangge has taken out so far, Zuo Mengfeng is most interested in "Will Enter the Wine", which he has just composed. As for the song "Understand You", if Qin Fangge is unwilling to go out to sing it, he can still sell it to other singers.
Zuo Mengfeng is an old man in the pop music world, he knows very well that many people have composed music for Li Bai's poem, but so far, except for the interpretation of Qin Fangge just now, other people's versions do not meet his mind. He also wondered if he should buy this song and sing it in the bar, and the name of his bar would be Jiangjin Wine!
As soon as Zuo Mengfeng said this, Qin Fangge laughed, "Uncle Zuo is too polite, you can sing it to whomever you want." ”
Ning Xiupei also said that Qin Fange would be in Yanjing after he was born, and he would have to rely on them to take care of him. She also knows that the price of a song for this newcomer is only two or three thousand yuan, what can she do, it is better to give favors.
Zuo Mengfeng said seriously, "This is not good, I also make music, and I know that a good song is not easy to come by." The current copyright protection is heartbreaking, writing songs can't support people, and many people are unwilling to write songs. If we don't pay attention to it ourselves, there is really little hope. ”
Qin Fangge discussed with him and said, "Otherwise, I'll give this song to Sister Chen to sing in your bar first." If Uncle Zuo thinks that he can't go, when I come to the bar in the future, he won't charge me money for drinking!"
Chen Yushan looked at him gratefully but didn't speak, and Ning Xiupei next to him scolded with a smile, "Your little abacus is very good, and you're not afraid of others laughing at you!"
Zuo Mengfeng laughed, "If you are willing to come to the bar, we can give you money! ”
"Uncle Zuo thinks so highly of me!" Qin Fangge laughed, "I'm waiting to see Senior Sister Zuo's performance, if she sings, it will at least double." ”
Zuo Mengfeng said that he must have guessed wrong, the customers here know her too well, and then said with a straight face, "Seriously, if you write a song, if you can't sing it, it's a waste." Since you don't want to sing it yourself, why don't I help you contact it, and if there is a suitable price, how about selling it? "Lonely is Singing" and "Will Enter the Wine" will not be mentioned, the song "Understand You", if it is sung by popular singers, it should still be able to make a small hit, and the price will definitely not be low. ”
"I have to ask my mom about this, this song was written for her. Qin Fangge replied.
"It's a great thing to get more mothers to hear this song, but it's just that you're embarrassed. "Ning Xiupei is not so stingy, as long as Qin Fangge doesn't really go out and show her face, she can accept writing songs or relaxing and singing in a bar.
Zuo Mengfeng smiled and said that it was not troublesome, anyway, he had nothing to do, and then asked Qin Fangge a more professional question, "I see that your piano and guitar accompaniment are quite good, how about other arrangers?"
Qin Fangge replied with a smile, "I only know these two instruments, and I know some theoretical things, but I haven't really done them, and I don't have time." ”
"Also, this can't be compared to melody creation, even people like us can do it!" Zuo Mengfeng laughed a little self-deprecatingly, he only then remembered that Qin Fangge was still an art candidate in the third year of high school, and the school examination of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music had not yet come to an end, and he would have to be busy in the next few days. When he is really admitted to the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, it is not too late to talk about more long-term things.
Qin Fangge said that he had the opportunity to learn more from him, and Ning Xiupei reminded him that there was still a lot to learn, not to be complacent, and not to forget his main responsibility.
Qin Fangge nodded and said that he remembered clearly, Zuo Mengfeng naturally understood his parents' feelings of wanting their son to become a Chan, just like his expectations for Zuo Shuqin.
Zuo Shuqin and Xiao Yuran read the guitar sheet of his "Yanjing Basement" together, and said that it must be difficult to play, but Xiao Yuran said that Qin Fangge played quite well.
After the singers on stage finished singing two songs, Zuo Shuqin went on stage.
Qin Fangge's palms slapped the loudest, Xiao Yuran and Zuo Mengfeng were not to be outdone, and everyone else in the bar was also looking forward to it. Not to mention anything else, Zuo Shuqin's beautiful long legs alone make people feel pleasing to the eye.
Zuo Shuqin is down-to-earth and generous, full of heroism, after she came on stage, her voice was crisp and loud, "A freshly written "We Are on the Road" is dedicated to everyone, I hope you like it." By the way, I will come up to play his new song when Qin Fangge comes, and the completion of my song has just been affected by him, in order to avoid accidents, everyone should give applause first!"
Everyone laughed and clapped their hands, Zuo Mengfeng was also happy, focusing on the stage, and the look on his face was very proud and proud.
Ning Xiupei also praised Zuo Mengfeng for her beauty and talent, and she even spoke at such a high level, so that Qin Fangge and Xiao Yuran learned more, and the two of them nodded with a smile.
Zuo Shuqin didn't use an electric guitar, but a folk guitar, which can be felt from the name of her song, which should be a campus folk style song.
Qin Fangge thought more, he felt that this should have been written by her to their Jinse Huanian band, in other words, it was really not easy for her to start such a band.
When the guitar in Zuo Shuqin's hand sounded, the audience suddenly became quiet.
Qin Fangge is tall and big, his eyesight is good, and he can see clearly at the moment, when Zuo Shuqin is quiet and plays the guitar, there is a kind of extraordinary beauty. She was generous and hearty before, but she always felt a little less feminine, and at this time, she was very ladylike just by sitting in that posture.
Her guitar skills are really good, and the light and cheerful prelude makes her fingerpicking skills unmistakable, skillful and smooth, whether it is the melody or chord on the strings, or the rhythm of the strings, they are all professional masters. This guitar prelude alone is enough to discourage many people from learning guitar.
It can also be seen from this that she is known as the talented woman of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, and she really deserves her name.
"We are on the road, and youth is flying......"
Zuo Shuqin's singing voice is not complicated and does not use any advanced skills, but with a strong campus folk atmosphere, simple but joyful, with a sense of youth, liveliness and agility.
"We're all in this together, chasing our dreams. ”
When she sang this, Qin Fangge and Zuo Mengfeng both understood that this was indeed a song she wrote for her and her band members.
The melody is fresh and moving, and there is no overly complicated modulation change, but she sings very powerfully, with a lot of texture, not the kind of innocent moaning, because there are her own feelings in it.
The rest of the audience also mostly understood at the moment what the theme of this song was, some inspirational, about youth and dreams.
Zuo Shuqin's guitar and singing complement each other perfectly, continuing to lead the audience's emotional direction.
"In the sea of music, we swim together
Soar under the free sky"
It may be a little youthful and frivolous, but this is the power of youth, and the stark theme makes people nostalgic for the good times that once had.
A wonderful and joyful guitar solo, in terms of handling techniques, it is like a variation of the prelude, and Zuo Shuqin continues to sing loudly. She seems to be a little lazy, and the melody is more similar to the previous one. Qin Fangge understood that she did use the techniques of canon, polyphony, fugue, and modulation to adapt the previous wonderful melody and sing it again, but it didn't give people a boring or impatient feeling, but it felt more flavorful, because the theme was very unified.
"We're on the road and the passion is unleashing
Please put away your confusion and let go of your sorrow
There is no need for camouflage, it is necessary to open the atrium
Together, we move forward bravely
Singing loudly all the way, busy day and night
Optimistic and positive, not afraid of the wind and rain"
It's a wonderful guitar variation, but it still feels wonderful, and maybe it is fresh and natural, just like the essence of campus folk songs is to reflect the voices of campus students.
Zuo Shuqin's singing voice also seems to come from the heart, expressing the enthusiasm, expectation, desire, strength, optimism and other feelings in her heart.
"We're on the road, and we're putting our lives in full bloom
Don't linger on sadness, straighten your chest and break through
Sweat and tears are fragrant
We are together and we are crowned with great glory
Suspicion and hesitation are all put aside
No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, I still stick to my faith
We are on the way, setting sail for the distance
No matter how long the night is, watch and help each other
Falls, crashes, don't stop sailing
We are together and cherish the good times
With you by your side, beautiful and kind
Perseverance and strength are like heaven
We are on the way, and youth will fly
Together, we will create brilliance"
Although Zuo Shuqin's singing is over, the guitar solo is still continuing, and a melody has been played by her with many tricks, and the changes have been changed several times, but each time it feels very fresh, and it is never the same. Everyone has also seen that her name as a talented woman in the conservatory is really not for nothing.
Qin Fangge and Zuo Mengfeng's applause sounded almost at the same time, Zuo Mengfeng was even so excited that his old face turned red, there is no doubt that this is a beautiful and beautiful song.
Xiao Yuran and Ning Xiupei were not far behind, and applause rang out.
Zuo Shuqin said that her song was influenced by Qin Fangge, and there is some truth in it, similar techniques, Qin Fangge was used in "Lonely Singing" and the later Canon variations. But this does not mean that she is plagiarizing, and the techniques of variation polyphonic fugue canon are the composition techniques of classical music, which have long been clear and clear, depending on whether the composers will use them. It can only be said that Qin Fangge's successful adaptation just now inspired her to create.
Zuo Shuqin seemed to be accustomed to such applause and cheers from the audience, and after smiling and nodding to thank everyone, he asked Qin Fangge to go on stage.
The two of them had agreed before, and after Qin Fangge went all the way, she also enjoyed enough applause. But Zuo Shuqin also thanked him again, saying, "I just listened to a few of your songs, and suddenly I had the inspiration to make this song completely." ”
Qin Fangge replied with a smile, "I listened to Senior Sister Zuo's song, and I gained more, so everyone will know later." Also, I beg Senior Sister Zuo, don't accuse me of plagiarizing your lyrics, because it's really nice and inspirational, and I can't help but use it......"
Zuo Shuqin thought he was joking, and after saying a few words to him, he went down and accepted everyone's congratulations and applause again.
Talented women and beauties deserve such a high salary.
Qin Fangge, this guy was verbose, and once again thanked Zuo Shuqin's family for providing such a good environment for everyone, and said that everyone should express themselves to Zuo Shuqin and support them to make the bar better and better. Then, he thanked the audience again, they were tolerant enough, and he was able to perform on stage again with a cheeky face.
He behaved coyly on stage, but everyone in the audience was very convinced, and the young woman named Xi Wanqing was particularly prominent, and actually ordered a bottle of Fischer, seemingly planning not to get drunk and not return.
If it were another singer, it was estimated that he would still receive a lot of tips, but if it was put on Qin Fangge, it seemed that everyone felt that it would be too blasphemous to take money to send him away, and no one dared to take action.
