Chapter Eighty-Six: Divergence
In Qin Fangge's opinion, the few songs that Ning Xiupei asked for were better done, just make them and let the choir practice.
The song "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" that his father Qin Huakai wanted was much more troublesome, because he had to go to the studio to record and also needed instruments, and if he only played the piano or just the guitar, it was too thin. The requirements for the recording version are much higher than those on the spot, and if he had recorded it on his own computer, he would have taken it out and played it, and the effect would have been terrible. Even the difference between the effects made by professional and non-professional recording studios is heaven and earth.
This bloody song, he plans to use national instruments to orchestrate it, but it is not easy to find a suitable musician in Jiangcheng.
He thought that the arrangement and orchestration would be made first, which would definitely be different from the original version, mainly based on national instrumental music, and Western instruments, including the piano he was best at, would not account for much weight. In this regard, among the people he knows, Huang Jingzuo Shuqin and their Jinse Huanian Band are more professional.
Fortunately, Qin Huakai didn't want him to take it out right away, there was still a period of time before the Spring Games, and he could do his best. It will definitely cost a lot of money, and the cost of just asking a musician to record is not low.
After returning home, Qin Fangge did not rush to adapt "My Motherland" and "Sky City", but advanced to the study and practiced erhu for two hours, no one disturbed him at home, and it felt quite good to devote himself to practice, and his progress was quite fast. The erhu that Huang Jing gave her is quite good, he pulled up the etude this time, it feels quite good, he has also heard the erhu of street artists, his level, he can still barely eat when he goes out.
Only then did he begin to arrange the two songs, and there were many more aspects to consider in the chorus than in the solo.
If Qin Fangge sang solo, even if it was an improvised piano accompaniment, he would be able to handle it. Singing is obviously not good, you have to take into account the effect of dozens of choir members, plus the conductor and piano accompaniment working together.
When Ning Xiupei returned home, Qin Fangge was still busy in the study, and he had already made the chorus version of the piano accompaniment of the song "My Motherland", and the accompaniment was mainly to provide a reference point for each voice part of the choir.
There was a chorus version in the original time and space, and he didn't make too many changes, but this song has quite high requirements for the vocal level of the singer, and I don't know if such a talent can be found in the choir of the high school.
Ning Xiupei was very satisfied with his performance, high efficiency, not procrastinating, she didn't bother much, just sat quietly next to him and watched him continue to adapt another song "City in the Sky".
Qin Fangge's psychological quality is very strong now, and he doesn't feel embarrassed to have Ning Xiupei by his side.
On "City in the Sky", Qin Fangge did not fill in the lyrics himself, but used the Chinese version that he had heard before and did not know who filled it in, and only slightly modified.
And he still didn't give up singing, and also consulted Ning Xiupei's opinion, she also felt that the singing sounded beautiful, and the artistic conception was more romantic and ethereal. She also asked him to sing it first, and it felt really good.
So, it was decided.
After completing the adaptation of "Castle in the Sky", Ning Xiupei had to test his piano level again, and urged him to improve. In fact, it was because on his laptop, she found a few new piano songs he had written, and asked him to play them. The last time she was in Yanjing, she also heard him play the fugue intermittently, which made her can't bear to look at it directly, and if she played it in its entirety, it would definitely be much better.
Qin Fangge then talked about the fact that before leaving yesterday, Deng Hongmei went to the studio to record.
Ning Xiupei quite agreed with Deng Hongmei's approach, and she also said to Qin Fangge, "It seems that I didn't put enough pressure on you before! I also want a ......copy of the recording CD."
Qin Fangge replied with a smile, "The recording is still paid for by Mr. Deng, I'm embarrassed to ask her more, just send it back to my mother, you can keep it." ”
Ning Xiupei said with emotion, "You have a good fate, go back to Yanjing in the future and listen to Professor Deng's words, don't get a little praise and don't know what your surname is." ”
Qin Fangge nodded and said that he wouldn't, Ning Xiupei's requirements were quite high, she wanted to listen to the tracks he played in the studio, and she even pulled Qin Huakai, who was watching TV in the living room, over as an audience. I don't know if it's to prove to him that the choice of letting Qin Fangge learn music was the wisest choice in her life.
If the parents want to listen to it, Qin Fang can only play the song, feeling that at this time, it is to repay them for their hard work in the past 20 years.
Fortunately, he already likes to play the piano, and they are all classic tunes, and playing it again can deepen his understanding of music, so why not.
"Give these tunes to my parents, thank you for taking care and caring for me over the years, and giving me too many things that I may not be able to repay in this life......" Qin Fangge didn't actually need to brew too many emotions, but he still relieved his breath and said a few words of gratitude before starting to play the piano.
As soon as he came up to play, he played the passionate "Butterfly", his dexterous big hands, in addition to his impeccable technical performance, that calm and elegant, also made Ning Xiupei, who knew the piano, intoxicated.
Although Qin Huakai himself doesn't have many music cells, he has been with the two musicians for so long, and his ability to appreciate music is still quite high. He can appreciate that Qin Fangge's performance in this song "Butterfly" can be regarded as the top in the world. His fingers fluttered on the piano, dazzling and even shaven. But all this did not affect his emotional expression in the slightest, that kind of chic and elegant, eclectic.
Qin Huakai also felt happy, because the foundation of all this was built on his strong physique. In addition to genes, physical fitness and basic quality training since childhood also contributed to it.
Of course, the more Qin Huakai watched and listened, the more he could truly feel that Qin Fangge's performance on the piano was indeed more noble and elegant than that of him on the stadium, which he couldn't deny.
When Qin Fangge began to play the piano music he composed himself, the feeling in Qin Huakai's heart became more and more intense, no matter how fast Qin Fangge ran and danced high, how could he win the world championship, how could he compare to his achievements in music.
Looking at Qin Fangge's dedication to music, he really loves music from the bottom of his heart.
Those incomparably beautiful notes flowed out of his fingers, and then reached Qin Huakai's ears, which deepened this impression.
Qin Huakai can actually keep his senses, Ning Xiupei has long heard tears flickering, and after Qin Fang finished playing, she gave him a big hug emotionally, and said something with tears in her eyes, "You are really my mother's pride! For so many years, our hard work has not been in vain." ”
Qin Fangge could only smile embarrassedly, waiting for Ning Xiupei's mood to stabilize.
But where is it so easy for Ning Xiupei to calm down, her ears don't lie, after listening to these piano pieces he composed, she understands that Qin Fangge has taken another step forward towards a great pianist musician.
Ning Xiupei teaches students all year round, and she is also familiar with music history, and those great musicians in the past, in addition to leaving valuable wealth in their works, seem to have their own tragedies and misfortunes in life, which is not what she wants to see.
With her current ability, she can no longer give him more guidance and help on his creative path, but in life, she can do more.
Although Qin Fangge has been very mature and stable recently, Ning Xiupei thinks from the bottom of his heart that they, as parents, have more experience than him, and they will be much more mature than him in dealing with all kinds of human affairs.
In addition to being excited, Ning Xiupei also let him rest early, and she discussed with Qin Huakai how to better help him, so that he would not repeat the mistakes of other musicians.
Qin Fangge didn't think about it so much, even if he didn't play the piano for them, he would have to practice himself, and he wouldn't get tired of soaking on the piano for ten or twenty hours a day.
The bizarre experience of being a human being in two lives, and the soul in the dark, who did not know for hundreds of years, gave him a deeper and deeper understanding of the breadth and profundity and immensity of music.
In the eyes of outsiders, he has achieved great results now, but he knows very well in his heart that he is still too far away from the goal he wants. If nothing else, it feels like an almost impossible task to just play the works of great musicians from another world in their entirety.
He can only pick their best works, and he has to practice diligently, add his own understanding, and then show them, so as not to insult the classics.
He didn't have too much ambition, he still played Bach's works, and he felt that practicing for a few hours every day was not an exaggeration at all, and the importance of the foundation could not be overemphasized.
Qin Fangge played the piano with peace of mind, and he simply forgot the time.
Ning Xiupei and Qin Huakai didn't worry less about his affairs before, they thought that he would be able to worry less when he grew up, but they never thought that now, they need to worry about more things. is afraid that once he becomes famous, he will not be able to withstand the temptation and forget his original intention, and he is afraid that he will be deceived or pulled into the water.
Qin Huakai is okay, he thinks that Qin Fangge also knows how to do things in proportion as an adult, and it is good to be responsible for himself.
Ning Xiupei doesn't think so, in her eyes, no matter what outstanding and great achievements Qin Fangge has made, how he will attract the attention of thousands of people in the future, he is her son, and this will never change.
So she was very dissatisfied with Qin Huakai's attitude, so Qin Huakai said, "Do you think he will definitely listen to what we say?" What we can do is to give him a free environment and not drag him back. ”
Ning Xiupei scoffed at this, the two have always had great differences in educating Qin Fangge, and they have quarreled a lot, but often no one can convince anyone, and this day is no exception.
At about two o'clock in the morning, Ning Xiupei got up and found that Qin Fangge was still practicing the piano in the study, which made her feel distressed and angry, "Go to sleep, do you want to work so hard?"
Qin Fangge defended that he was very energetic now and didn't want to waste time, but he was still driven to sleep by Ning Xiupei, but it also made her breathe a sigh of relief, he who is so diligent should not be stumped by mundane things!
