Chapter 1240: Death and the Maiden

Huang Jing was curious, "How many copies of a symphony and concerto score like this can be sold?"

Qin Fangge said with a smile that he didn't expect sales, "Even if the total score of the symphony can sell 3,000 copies worldwide, it will be a big hit, and the concerto will be even worse, 1,000 is not bad, and the publishing house has the courage to dare to publish it." ”

"Isn't that much worse than a physical record...... Huang Jing was surprised, she studied folk music and didn't know much about the situation here, although Qin Fangge didn't care about many things, but these market data related to his vital interests, even if he didn't take the initiative to understand, the company would take the initiative to report to him, so that he could make the final decision.

"Generally, you only buy it if you study music, conservatories, symphony orchestras, music critics, by the way, the electronic version must not be circulated. Chen Tianhong was talking to a few of them, and the girls all nodded, and they all knew the importance of protecting copyright.

"It's true that such a symphony score is too expensive for the most loyal fans, but it's certainly quite collectible. Since sales are so low, it's better to do a limited edition. Xiao Yuran said that he had no skills to teach himself, and it was generally these few tricks, playing the emotional card, fans were good, changing their faces, and hunger marketing was what she called the release of limited editions.

Huang Jing, Chen Tianhong, Han Wei, they all expressed their support, Huang Jing also laughed at her potential, "Xiaoyu is right, anyway, the sales are not high, and it will be more ......face-saving to make a limited edition."

Qin Fangge laughed, "Is this self-deception?"

"How can it be called self-deception?" Huang Jing said she seriously disagreed, "It's called marketing strategy, and it sounds good to say." If you talk to the publisher, you'll publish 9,999 copies...... I don't believe that everyone doesn't rob. ”

"If you don't grab it, you can't sell that much. Qin Fangge only shook his head.

"Do you understand the limited edition!" Huang Jing wanted to despise him, "Now everyone will eat this set, don't have more than one book, the only number in the world, you can buy it back as an heirloom." ”

Han Wei also has the potential to be a profiteer, "Jing Jing is right, you can also divide the domestic version and the international version, the difference must be there, but this is very simple, isn't it? You have to find two publishing houses anyway, and those you like must be willing to spend money to buy and collect." ”

Several of them made suggestions all the way to classroom 201, where Xie Xiaojuan and Yu Xiaoxia were there, and they also joined in after listening to their topics.

Xie Xiaojuan also had a special feeling, "In this way, our orchestra has not taken a big advantage, and if we have to pay the rental fee for performing once, we will lose all our pants." ”

"Don't worry about a lot of debts, besides, it's the uncle who owes debts now!" Chen Tianhong saw it very openly.

Huang Jing said that favors are the most difficult to return, but it doesn't matter if there are too many.

"When we perform, we memorize music haha!" Yu Xiaoxia said with a smile, and also asked, "Can the symphony orchestra memorize music and not pay a rental fee or anything?"

Han Wei smiled, "The symphony orchestra is all busy people, and they have the kung fu to memorize the score, so it is better to save some money and trouble, and if the conductor can memorize the score, it is also quite powerful." Symphony orchestras authorized by Qin Fangge, such as the Youth Symphony Orchestra that collaborated last time...... They don't have much money, but if they go abroad to perform, they still have to buy copyrights. ”

Xiao Yuran said that they could apply to the school, but Qin Fangge's first piano concerto was really embarrassed to ask for copyright fees, and it was very troublesome to ask them to play. But this is still a little different from commercial performances, and there is no ticket revenue.

Qin Fangge changed the topic in time to let everyone focus on the music, so that there would be no need to play too seriously, in his words, just enjoy the music. Yu Xiaoxia regretted that she didn't go to the bar that night, and she couldn't help but be laughed at by Huang Jing again.

Tossing up the music, everyone is very interested, Qin Fangge also called on everyone to open their minds, imagine to their heart's content, and improvise, he used the keyboard to take everyone together. Xiao Yuran was not in a hurry to practice the piano, and went to Pan Linna's position to play the drums. Huang Jing and the others are doing their own duties, and they are all giggling.

The theme of Qin Fangge's electronic keyboard is also improvised, relatively ordinary but can be varied in a variety of ways, and in his opinion, in mastering these music, it is easier than the topic of primary school students. He also has to expand and change the theme, and all kinds of composition techniques are also very familiar, Xiao Yuran has studied this more deeply, after all, with Deng Hongmei pressing on the top of his head, each piece must first analyze the structure of the song before it can be played on the piano. Qin Fangge also often analyzes her composition angle, and then performs from the greatest understanding of the composer's intentions, in addition to distinguishing the vocal practice methods, etc., various composition techniques and variations must also be clarified. Deng Hongmei didn't expect her to compose, but she also said, "If you can't read music, what piano will you play!"

In this regard, her senior sister Wu Hongqin has done a better job, she has solid basic skills, she is very talented and calm, she can practice the piano more quietly than Xiao Yuran, and she plays polyphonic works such as the prelude fugue willingly.

After Xiao Yuran figured out the characteristics of his improvisation, he was also the first to follow up on the drums, and then Han Wei, she originally learned the cello, and like the piano, she belonged to the musical instrument department of Western music, and the knowledge of music theory was also the most basic, and she mastered it very firmly. Although she has entered the Department of Folk Music now, she can't stand up to a good foundation, and her status as a double bass in a folk orchestra is actually learned from the establishment of Western symphony orchestras. The double bass has never been the protagonist, it is basically the basis for the lowest part, but it is quite important and indispensable. If it weren't for its high importance, it wouldn't have been introduced into the national orchestra, and even their small orchestra has such a double bass arrangement.

Composition may be too reluctant for the two of them, but the problem of improvisation is still not that big, and Qin Fangge, a genius, checks and fills in the gaps, helps wipe his buttocks, and does a good job of cleaning up the aftermath to maintain the overall harmony and stability.

However, neither of them is the protagonist, the drum kit and double bass are the same, Xie Xiaojuan's crisp and melodious dulcimer sound sounded, which gave it the feeling of a formal ensemble. Then, Chen Tianhong's pipa also joined in, Huang Jing's erhu and Yu Xiaoxia and Sanxian entered almost at the same time, but in this way, the rhythm seemed a little chaotic, but fortunately, Qin Fang's song was powerful enough, and the keyboard in his hand was also extremely expressive, plus his hand speed was fast enough, and his performance was comparable to that of a symphony orchestra.

Chen Tianhong and Huang Jing, who were excited together, continued to follow up with the musical instruments in their hands, and for Qin Fangge, the test was getting higher and higher, and there were times when they had a good time when he couldn't control it as a genius, and in the end, under the perseverance of Huang Jing and Chen Tianhong, they tended to collapse under the efforts of competing with each other, which also caused them to giggle.

Then under the leadership of the old driver Qin Fangge, the car was restarted, this time the situation was better, but it also didn't last too long, the improvisation was still too testing, especially their ideas were all kinds of whimsical, and Huang Jing admitted later, "I don't know what I'm playing haha!"

After laughing and playing, they still rest or go to work, the weather is getting hotter, and it is still necessary to take a lunch break, but Qin Fangge and Han Wei obviously don't need it, and the strange music they play, Huang Jing and Chen Tianhong are not interested at all, and the timid Li Ruoli and Ye Xiuling are even scared. Of course, this is not a problem at all for Han Wei, an outlier, the more mysterious and sad the music with strong negative emotions, the more excited she is.

Qin Fangge is also a pervert, and it seems that he can find different inspiration in these music. The music with a similar theme he created is indeed quite scary, Teng Shuting said that he could make horror music, and Zuo Shuqin proposed to him that he should invest in making horror films, "Don't talk about other plots and characters, put these music and sound effects in the movie, it will definitely scare people to death......"

Qin Fangge laughed at the time and said okay, also said that horror films are low-cost, it is very easy to explode at the box office and become a dark horse, except for Chinese horror films, no way, there are too many restrictions.

However, when he was with Han Wei, there was no atmosphere of making horror movies at all, the two were very compatible, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious, even if the topics they discussed were not so harmonious, all kinds of weird and gloomy things, whether they came out of Qin Fangge or Han Wei's mouth, seemed to be quite ordinary and not worth mentioning. For example, the Grim Reaper or something, they can be ridiculed, and Qin Fangge also said that he wanted to create a theme music for the terrifying Grim Reaper and the young girl.

Han Wei immediately became excited when she heard this, and she also made suggestions together, her peculiar hobby is also an important factor for her to stand out among so many girls.

For this reason, Qin Fangge also deliberately found a piano room with a piano, he now has a big face, and the teachers in charge of the piano room all know him as a genius, and the students of their vocal music and opera department all have a piano room card to go to the piano room to practice the piano, which is also their compulsory course, but he basically hasn't used it, and the piano is basically practiced in his own music studio.

Of course, now is not the busiest time for the piano room, the environment of the newly built piano room is good, and the environment of the old teaching building is the old piano is also of course students prefer a good piano room. If it was before the exam now, the piano room would definitely be full, and no matter how big his face was, he would not be able to kick people out.

Naturally, he did not forget to thank the teacher, and the teacher also asked him if he planned to compose, and he could arrange a room with a better piano for him. was politely rejected by Qin Fangge, as long as the piano pitch was okay for him, it was OK.

After going to the piano room with Han Wei, she closed the door of the piano room, and she didn't even bother to make love with him, so she set up the DV and discussed with him with great interest.

The theme of death and maidens is not new, and in addition to poets and writers, there are many composers in the history of music who have written about it. Han Wei is no stranger to this, the god of death who represents death and terror, and the girl who represents the vitality of life, is young and beautiful, but the body is weak and sickly.

Qin Fangge remembered that the composer Schubert composed music based on the poem "Death and the Maiden" by the German poet Matthias Crodos, in the form of a string quartet. The poem is actually not complicated, that is, a dialogue between the girl and the god of death, the girl:

Go away, ah!

Stay away from me, you abominable skeleton fool!

I'm still young, ah!

Don't touch me, dear dead body.

Death:

Hand it to me, beautiful and gentle girl!

I have not come to abuse you for friendship.

Be brave, I am not an abomination,

Lie on my arm, and you will sleep peacefully.

For this poem, a simple short eight lines, Schubert composed nearly 40 minutes of music! It also brought the audience infinite reverie, Qin Fangge's favorite is the second movement, but he did not plan to simply take it out as it is, but prepared to start anew, and then use this poem as a source of inspiration for Han Wei to recompose, an ensemble for piano and double bass.

He sat down in front of the piano and said to Han Wei, "Let's play role-playing games, I am the Great Demon King Death, Weiwei is a weak and helpless girl, I, the Grim Reaper, will do everything possible to bring you to death......"

Han Wei grinned and said, "It would be more interesting if the roles were reversed, I will be the god of death, and you will play the girl." ”

After laughing, he still role-played, and Qin Fangge took out all the lines, that is, the poem of the Grim Reaper and the girl. Han Wei also accepted her role, and a few lines were easy to memorize, Qin Fangge didn't need to say it himself, he asked Han Wei to memorize it first, and he also played it on the piano first. Han Wei's task as a girl is not simple, she has also made up a series of psychological activities to confront the god of death, these she plans to communicate with Qin Fangge later, these poems must be expanded, there is no doubt about this.

Qin Fangge also quickly composed the melody, and also played the piano accompaniment, asked her to sight-sing, and told her not to be embarrassed. Han Wei only gave him a roll of his eyes, but also asked him to sing his part first, Qin Fangge singing is his profession, with the piano accompaniment, singing the lines of the Grim Reaper, luring the beautiful and weak girl step by step into the arms of the Grim Reaper, or in the name of love and justice.

The students of the Conservatory of Music have compulsory courses in music theory and ear training, and Han Wei brings in the role of a weak and beautiful girl, and she sings with feelings.

When Qin Fangge was composing, he also grasped the emotion of the music first, in the theme of death and the girl, there are many things that can be shown, emotions expressed, and various changes, of course, in the end, it ended with the victory of the god of death, Han Wei has no opinion on this, and quite appreciates such an ending, death is inevitable, sooner or later.

However, in Qin Fangge and her opinion, death is actually not a summary, but the beginning of another reincarnation, and in this regard, the pace of the two is the same.
