"You mean ......"

Song Song suddenly realized, his eyes filled with hope, "Isn't the harmony?"

"Well, that, it may need to be changed!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "What, I'll go to the bathroom first, and we'll talk when I come back later!"

"Okay, okay! We're waiting for you!"

Liu Yuan also thought that Li Zhifan had a way, so he sent him out and showed him the way, "The bathroom is in front, come back quickly." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Zhifan walked into the bathroom in three steps and two steps, directly took out the old mobile phone, and entered the mall to start looking.

About ten minutes later, at Huo Zun, a male singer from another world, Li Zhifan finally found a satisfactory Chinese folk tune, extracted and absorbed, and quickly returned to the room.

"You're back!"

Liu Yuan and Song Song both looked anxious.

"What's the problem? Is it serious, do you want to redo it?"

"Isn't harmony right? I've listened to it twice just now, and there's nothing wrong with harmony!"

Even Lilith looked at Li Zhifan curiously, but she didn't speak.

"Leave it to me!"

Li Zhifan indifferently and confidently walked to Song Song's original position and sat down, copied the mouse and clicked it, and played the original music a few times, looking for a suitable entry point.

While listening, Li Zhifan pulled the pen and paper while copying down the ballad that had just been freshly extracted.

"This ......"

Liu Yuan looked at the lyrics and music scores written by Li Zhifan curiously, "What are you...... Writing songs?"

"No, it's an adaptation of our Chinese folk song!"

The song was very short, only a few sentences, and after Li Zhifan wrote it in a few strokes, he gave it to Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan hummed two sentences at the score, and then he was stunned in vain: "Huh? Isn't this the "Flower Tune" in "The Legend of the West Chamber"? But you feel this way...... It's a little different, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

Li Zhifan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Sure enough, he is the grandmaster of the Chinese music industry, this is indeed the "Flower Tune" in "The Legend of the West Chamber", but it has been omitted and adapted, so now this song is called "Jasmine"!"

"Jasmine?"

Liu Yuan and Song Song were both stunned, then looked at the lyrics, and after a moment of emptiness, they hummed.

"Jasmine" first originated from the "Flower Tune" sung by the folk of Nanjin Liuhe for a hundred years.

In another world, this song was compiled and arranged by military composer He Fang and completed in 1957.

The adapted song has a high reputation and is widely praised in the whole of China and the world, and is one of the representative elements of Chinese culture, and is known as "the second national anthem of China" because of its special status and representative.

The earliest known lyrics similar to the modern version of "Jasmine" were included in Feng Menglong's "Hanging Branches" during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573-1620).

The predecessor of the lyrics of "Jasmine" was first published in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1764-1774) in the opera script collection "Embellished White Qiu", and the "Flower Drum Song" included in "Embellished White Qiu" has a total of 12 singing lyrics, which narrates the story of "Zhang Sheng's Drama Yingying" in "The Legend of the West Chamber", and the first two lyrics are called "Flower Tune" in overlapping sentences, and there are also "Jasmine Flowers" developed from it??。

The earliest music score about "Jasmine" is included in the "Xiaohui Collection" in the Daoguang period, this kind of tune is developed on the basis of the popular "Flower Tune" in the Ming Dynasty, under the influence of various factors such as local language tones, customs and customs, various styles of "Tongzong folk songs" are derived, and different versions of the tunes are different in the provinces, but the lyrics are basically based on the theme of reflecting the pure love of young men and women.

This Chinese folk song was included in the French philosopher Rousseau's "Dictionary of Music" in 1768 (the 33rd year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty), and the score was recorded in the book "Travels in China" published by the British geographer John Barrow in 1804, and the Italian composer Giacamo Puccini rearranged the piece into a female chorus, and used it as a musical theme for the opera "Turandot", which premiered in 1926.

In this world, the circulation of "Flower Tune" is also very broad, and there are similar tunes all over the country, but there are versions of different lyrics, and according to statistics, there are more than 40 versions.

Because of the different local dialects and cultural backgrounds, the meaning of the lyrics is also different, and even in the Liangjiang area, when it comes to "Flower Tune", it is still an opera, not a song.

The lyrics that Li Zhifan has written now can be said to be different from all versions across the country, but also have a combination, and the tune is even more refined and more modern.

Liu Yuan took the song in his hand, sang it very bluntly, and pondered: "The song is the style of Chinese music, but how can it be combined with Lilith's song?"

"Then let's peel off the cocoon and grind slowly!"

Li Zhifan said, "Come, I'll sing it to everyone first." ”

"Okay, let's hear how you sing. ”

Liu Yuan handed over the lyrics and songs, but Li Zhifan waved his hand and didn't want to, and started singing directly-

"What a beautiful jasmine!"

"What a beautiful jasmine!"

"Fragrant and beautiful!"

"It's fragrant and white!"

"Don't let anyone take their hearts off!"

"Just wait for that person to love!"

"Jasmine, Jasmine!"

"Who is my lover Jasmine!"

Everyone was also surprised that Li Zhifan didn't read the lyrics, and heard him sing a beautiful melody.

After singing this breath, Li Zhifan changed four singing methods, first imitating Liu Yuan's traditional Chinese vocal singing method, and then the R&B style singing method, with almost every note of transposition and tongue being used.

Lilith was stunned when she heard this, the transformation and application of this technique is not far behind the best R&B singers in the United States, but the R&B style has fallen behind in this era, especially in the United States, teenagers have rarely listened to this kind of music, and R&B has reached a field as niche as jazz.

The third way of singing is also imitated by Li Zhifan, but it is Huo Zun who imitates it.

Huo Zun is a standard island bei, this singing method is generally called "island singing", is a unique singing method that originated in Kagoshima, Japan, and later spread to Okinawa and other parts of Japan, when singing, it is necessary to use a similar effect of female falsetto, and there is a feeling of sobbing in hearing, but it is very soothing and gentle.

Hearing this kind of singing in this room, Liu Yuan and Song Song were stunned.

They never expected that Li Zhifan could still sing like this, and the taste was quite standard.

"This ......"

"Shh

As soon as Song Song wanted to exclaim a few words, Liu Yuan interrupted him and motioned him not to speak.

Fourth, mixed singing, which is a common way of singing among pop singers all over the world, and Lilith also uses this singing style, and it is not divided into men and women.

Using the mixed singing method, Li Zhifan's tone naturally increased by a few points.

Lilith exclaimed again, "Even-buy karma!"

She grabbed Liu Yuan's arm excitedly, wanting to speak, but she was reluctant to interrupt Li Zhifan.

It wasn't until Li Zhifan finished singing that she said: "It's incredible, there are so many ways to interpret a song." ”

Li Zhifan felt a little nervous in his heart: "Of course, this is the charm of our Chinese music, he can be national or global." ”

"Oh!

Lilith laughed, "Are you going to sing this song to me?"

"Hmm!" Li Zhifan said, "with your Chinese level, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Of course!" Lilith nodded, "but can I sing with you?"

"And me?" Li Zhifan pointed to himself, at this time he was no longer surprised by any words and expressions of Lilith, and his confidence made him seem to be standing at the same height as Lilith at this time, even a little taller than her.

"Fan, I really want to cooperate with singers in Huaxia, I only considered Mr. Liu Yuan before, but from now on, you and Mr. Liu Yuan are the only candidates I consider!"

Lilith is very good at talking, and Li Zhifan is not easy to refuse, he is not as good as Liu Yuan, he has repeatedly rejected others, and others have come to the door to ask for cooperation.

I had to say: "Yes, I'm looking forward to it too, but how to cooperate, let's see how this song is made!"

Liu Yuan answered: "You kid, you have been messed with like this, I feel that this song has been done in vain before, by the way, how did you come up with the idea of using this song? ”

"Because of your song, although I don't speak English very well, I can understand some of it, to the effect that there will be a mysterious oriental flower, blooming in the land of China?"

Li Zhifan said with a smile that if there was no such premise, he would not have chosen this song.

"Yes, that's exactly what the lyrics are!"

Liu Yuan scratched his head and said, "But what we want to talk about is the peony flower, the king of flowers!"

"Then it seems that the lyrics have to be changed?" asked Li Zhifan.

"Not really!"

Lilith said, "The lyrics are about a girl from the United States who has never been to China, but has heard her elders talk about a flower that grows in the East, symbolizing beautiful love and making her feel mysterious all the time." ”

"Huh?" Li Zhifan couldn't cry or laugh, "Isn't the peony a symbol of wealth? Jasmine is a symbol of love." ”

This foreigner doesn't understand Chinese culture, doesn't Liu Yuan and Song Song understand either?

Song Song clapped his hands, stood up and said, "Hey, I said that at the time, but you don't change it, say how expensive this lyricist is, how good it is, tsk!"

"Gotcha,!"

Liu Yuan hurriedly instructed Lilith, "Then change the peonies in the original song to jasmine? ”

"OK! I'll try to change it!"

Lilith gestured and pondered.

At this time, Liu Yuan pulled Li Zhifan aside and asked with a smile: "Zhifan, after recording her song, can I apply for an authorization with you to make a version for me alone?"

"Yes, if you don't say this song, I also want to record a version for us Chinese first!"

Li Zhifan said, "Besides, I'm just adapting, and it's not me when it comes to copyright, it should belong to the country!"

The adaptation of "Jasmine" this time is not like the previous adaptation of "Liang Zhu", "Sending Lovers", etc., there is only a small part of the original part of the song, which does not account for 5% of the whole song.

"Then it's decided!"

Liu Yuan was very happy, "Come, study how to change it!"

I soaked in Liu Yuan's place for an afternoon, and it wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that the final plan was finalized.

That is, the prelude of the original song has been significantly adapted, the drums are removed, and the characteristics of national instruments are imitated by electronic music, and it is gently accompanied by Lilith's empty and distant singing, which is the first section of "Jasmine".

This way of singing has a remix feeling, like combining two different songs, and it feels like an electronic version of "Jasmine".

As soon as the first paragraph ended, the drum beat was added, and the melody of the main song of the original song was changed to rhythm rap, and the style was suddenly converted to another level, but it did not depart from the Chinese charm of the song itself.

The adaptation of this piece is not a problem at all for Li Zhifan.

has done so many Dong Chou's Chinese-style songs before, and the new album has done ancient songs like "Silk Play", in terms of arrangement, Li Zhifan is already a mature veteran, and even Liu Yuan is not as good as him in this area.

After the rap part, the chorus melody remains the same, and the original lyrics are repeated several times "Peony-flower", but now it is changed to "Jasmine-flower", and the ending word remains the same, and it is still sung to the ear.

After the first time of the chorus, it became a rap part again, but in this section of music, Li Zhifan's R&B version of "Jasmine" was added, which was just a very light background music, but it had an unusually good effect.

"Don't say it, this song looks like a messy stew, but it doesn't sound ordinary, not only is it not infected, but it has the effect of one plus one greater than three. ”

Liu Yuan listened to the vocal fragment and not only said.

"That's it!"

Gao Song smiled, "Zhifan's songs have a lot of this kind of stew, and everything is added to it, but it has made an extraordinary effect, just like his Buddha jumping over the wall." ”

Li Zhifan was praised so much that his ears were red, and he stood aside and smiled modestly.

Lilith came up and patted him on the shoulder, and handed him a cigarette: "Fan, I have this album, you can also help with the production, right?

"Let's not talk about the cost!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand and said, "I will come to help when I have the opportunity, I said let's ...... now Why don't you eat first?"

After he said this, everyone looked at their watches.

"Good fellow, it's almost nine o'clock!"

"Oh, what a waste of sleep and food, I don't have a lunch break today. ”

"I've forgotten all about this busyness, why don't we order a meal? I know there's a good restaurant, so we'll treat it as a working meal, and I'll pay for it!"

Lilith waved her hand, which was particularly heroic, and the image of the female man had been frozen.

Liu Yuan and Song Song didn't push either, and said directly: "Then you decide!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said nothing, so it seems that he will have to be busy for a while after this dinner.

Thinking about it further, maybe Lilith will be staying here tonight, seeing that she has not had an assistant or anything to call for a long time, and she has not called anyone to pick her up so late, it is estimated that this is the case.

However, Li Zhifan planned to leave for half an hour after eating, he didn't have much interest in learning foreign languages.
