Chapter 60: Arrangement
Chen Yushan is now a stable pillar of wine, although she can only get the song "Lonely Singing", but this song alone is enough. Speaking of which, there are a few people who come to the bar who are not lonely and commotionful, and Chen Yushan's song really sang to their hearts.
When he was on the road, Qin Fangge also cared about the practice of Chen Yushan's other two songs.
Chen Yushan also felt a little guilty, the songs "Yanjing Basement" and "Will Enter the Wine" are quite difficult, she is not 100% sure, she doesn't dare to take them on stage, it is simply a shame for Qin Fangge!
Qin Fangge told her not to be afraid, saying that the stage was the best opportunity to exercise, and he felt that Chen Yushan would perform better after she went on stage.
Xiao Yuran interjected, saying that if she felt that the arrangement was not completely done, these two songs would lack a lot of charm, especially Chen Yushan did not have the powerful aura of Qin Fangge, nor did he have such skillful singing skills and touching talent.
Qin Fangge blamed himself, saying that he didn't take this aspect into account, but in terms of arrangement, there wasn't much he could do.
Chen Yushan was honestly afraid, saying that she would be very satisfied if Qin Fang wrote a song for her and sang it for her, and she didn't dare to trouble him more in arranging the music.
In terms of the arrangement of the song, Zuo Mengfeng is one of the veterans, Qin Fangge estimates that he is looking for him today precisely for this matter.
The arrangement of the song "Yanjing Basement" is actually quite mature, but it is not easy to find such a good guitarist, and Chen Yushan has to practice hard to make a corner.
The main thing is "Will Enter the Wine", and Zuo Mengfeng also plans to use it as the opening song of the bar, which has relatively high requirements for the arrangement and orchestration. It is necessary to be beautiful and beautiful, but also to consider the actual situation of the bar, it is impossible to move Zuo Shuqin's folk orchestra to the bar.
Chatting about these on the road, Huang Jing is also quite interested, although she doesn't often play pop music, she still listens to it, and occasionally rises, and she will use the erhu to play two songs.
Soon it was time to drink, Zuo Mengfeng was at the bar early, and Zuo Shuqin also expressed a warm welcome to them.
Huang Jing is an enthusiastic and active master, and after greeting Zuo Mengfeng, he pulled Zuo Shuqin aside, biting her ear, not knowing what she was whispering.
Zuo Mengfeng also apologized to Qin Fangge, saying that he had disturbed his rest time.
Qin Fangge said with a smile, "Uncle Zuo is too polite, I am an idler after the exam, Sister Chen is in the bar, and Uncle Zuo has to take care of it." ”
Zuo Mengfeng also smiled, "She is now the pillar of our bar, I don't dare to offend easily, there are many guests who come to the bar to order "Lonely Singing". ”
found a quiet corner and sat down, Qin Fangge and Xiao Yuran still ordered fruit juice drinks to drink, and Chen Yushan also followed suit. Zuo Mengfeng didn't force it, he also knew that Qin Fangge, who learned vocal music like this, protected his voice very well, and basically didn't get involved in tobacco and alcohol, so that his artistic career could be longer.
After a few words of gossip, he got to the point, and what Zuo Mengfeng discussed with him was indeed the arrangement of "Will Enter the Wine".
In this regard, Qin Fangge is very open, "Uncle Zuo, you are in charge, I am really a little bad at arranging music other than piano and guitar." ”
Zuo Mengfeng smiled, "Haha, you are too modest, I have read the "General's Order" you wrote, it is quite perfect!"
Qin Fangge Khan, he knew that he wouldn't copy it, and he also said sincerely, "Uncle Zuo is an old-timer, with more experience than me, and he knows more about various musical instruments than me. The song "Will Enter the Wine", if it is sung in a bar, the requirements for the band are not low, how to arrange the music, you still have to come Uncle Zuo, I just listen to it. I guess Uncle Zuo has done almost the same!"
Zuo Mengfeng nodded, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll give you the score, if you don't feel satisfied, we can change it again." ”
"It must be exciting!" Qin Fangge said with a smile.
Zuo Mengfeng sighed, "There are still too many restrictions on singing in the bar, and it is not easy to find a reliable pipa player, but the flute is fine." You sit down first, and I'll go get the score. ”
Qin Fangge said okay, he can understand, although Zuo Shuqin has a folk orchestra, he can't let them come to the bar every day to accompany this song for free!
As for this song "Will Enter the Wine", Qin Fangge still plans to hand it over to Chen Yushan to sing, the burden on her shoulders is not light, just this song, without half a month's effort, she can't take it at all. Qin Fangge had a tight time, and she couldn't guide her too much, so she had to rely on her own experience to comprehend.
Zuo Mengfeng quickly came over with the score he had made, and said that the musicians he was looking for had also arrived, and he had practiced for a while, and after Qin Fangge was revised, he could practice once, and he had to trouble Qin Fangge to go on stage.
Qin Fang's songs don't matter, he sings such songs, purely as entertainment and leisure activities.
He took a closer look at the arrangement made by Zuo Mengfeng, and felt quite good.
After adding the pipa and flute, it is quite consistent with the style of the whole song "Will Enter the Wine", restoring the taste of antiquity, which can make people think of the past.
After all, Zuo Mengfeng has been a music producer for so many years, and he is making this arrangement for his own bar, so it goes without saying that he is doing his best. All aspects are also more elegant, the pipa player is easier to find than the guzheng, the key is easy to carry, the sound of the guzheng can be simulated with an electronic synthesizer, which has new requirements for keyboard players.
Its practical guqin is better, the guqin can be said to have reached its heyday in the Tang Dynasty, and the scenes of people in the Tang Dynasty stroking the qin and singing can be seen from time to time. But there are even fewer people who can play the guqin, and those who are willing to come to the bar to accompany are not at all, so they can only settle for the next best.
If you use a synthesizer to simulate, you will lose that taste, and Zuo Mengfeng can only give up helplessly after several trade-offs.
But his profound skills in arranging music are still undoubtedly revealed, just the combination of these instruments, it is quite layered and tasteful, and the melodious and continuous flute sound is introduced, which makes people feel like they have returned to ancient times. Then the crisp and bright sound of the pipa followed, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, and I unconsciously remembered the wonderful scene of the big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate in Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing".
The two voices are intertwined with each other, there is a sense of poetry and picturesqueness, and then the sound of the guzheng simulated by the keyboard is also followed, and suddenly there is a feeling of traveling through time and space, dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty.
When Qin Fangge saw this, he couldn't help but admire, "Jiang is old and spicy! Uncle Zuo's arranging skills are breathtaking." ”
Zuo Mengfeng laughed, "Don't laugh at us, in the future, it will still be the world of young people, and I will never be able to write such a beautiful and magnificent melody as "Will Enter the Wine". If you can't even do a good job of arranging, you can really retire completely and leave the burden to your generation!"
Qin Fangge didn't give any special advice, judging from the whole arrangement, Zuo Mengfeng did a lot of hard work, in the end, he was a producer with rich experience, and at this time, he didn't have to think about commercialization, he only made his favorite music, and this quality was naturally nothing to say.
Finally, he said, "The arrangement is perfect, it is the same as I expected, and there is no need for any changes." ”
Zuo Mengfeng was also quite satisfied with this result, and after consulting Qin Fangge's opinion, he went to the band to discuss it and let them get more familiar with it. Try to come again tonight, if you miss such an opportunity, I don't know how long you will have to wait. Needless to say, I also know that if Chen Yushan or others want to reach the level of singing like Qin Fangge, it is not just the time that is missing, Qin Fangge's return to Yanjing will be at least half a year later.
Huang Jing and Zuo Shuqin's whispers had already been finished here, but they didn't bother Qin Fangge and Zuo Mengfeng to discuss things, and after Zuo Mengfeng left temporarily, Zuo Shuqin asked him, "Huang Jing said that you wrote her erhu piano ensemble, so fast?"
Qin Fangge said with a smile, "I'm going back to Jiangcheng soon, if I don't write it out earlier, I feel sorry for Master's hard work, and there is such a good erhu." ”
Zuo Shuqin suddenly smiled, "I just said that this girl gave away the erhu so quickly, it turned out to be such an idea." ”
Huang Jing protested loudly beside him, "Boss, you are not allowed to insult the deep relationship between our master and apprentice. ”
"Okay, I'll apologize!" Zuo Shuqin apologized with a smile, and said to her again, "Otherwise, you wait to come on stage to show everyone, with your temperament, it is impossible to have stage fright!"
Huang Jing smiled confidently, "I'm afraid of making everyone cry, boss, you won't end well!"
Zuo Shuqin was happy, "If you have that ability, we will admit it!"
Xiao Yuran testified beside her, and she didn't feel embarrassed, "In the afternoon, we all cried when we listened, Senior Sister Huang Jing's erhu level really has nothing to say, and I feel that I have reached the realm of a master." ”
"It's still far from the master's realm, it's just tailor-made, and it's just a feeling!" Huang Jing was modest, but the expression on her face was very proud, and the beautiful beauty mole was very dazzling.
Zuo Shuqin didn't pay attention to her Dese, this guy has always been so confident, she turned to Qin Fangge and said, "I think our Chinese orchestra can come out, and we can't just perform on campus, what is your opinion?"
Qin Fangge nodded and raised his hands to express strong support, "It's good to come out, we make music, and the ultimate goal is to make everyone like and accept it." This is especially true of national music, especially national musical instruments, but at present, folk music has become a representative of the high and low music, which is really a bit regrettable. ”
Huang Jing hurriedly said, "This can't be blamed on us studying folk music, now that the information is developed, the impact of all kinds of music is too great, I'm afraid even everyone doesn't know what kind of music they like." In today's chaotic and complex society, people's hearts are also very impetuous, and it is really not easy to understand their preferences. ”
Zuo Shuqin said, "No matter what, we should go out of the campus and try." Tonight, you two are shouldering such a heavy responsibility, don't mess up!"
Huang Jing still looked confident, "Boss, leave this matter to me, you can put a hundred hearts!"
Zuo Shuqin smiled and hugged her, "It seems that I recruited you into the group at the beginning, but it was the wisest choice I have ever made in my life." ”
Huang Jing hugged her tighter, saying that her joining Jinse Huanian was the wisest choice she had ever made, because there were so many good sisters and such a warm and beautiful boss.
Zuo Shuqin knew that this guy was funny and had no shape, but it was not easy to blame her at this time.
