Chapter 0269: Rehearsal
Zhou Lin and Ren Feifei didn't know about the press conference, nor did they know the questions on the Internet.
They were the first of the seven groups of singers to come to the rehearsal.
The rehearsal is divided into two parts, one is a live rehearsal on stage and the other is a separate rehearsal room.
For the singers, of course, live rehearsals on stage are better. However, there are too many singers, and each group can only be allotted an hour.
At this time, I have to communicate with the band, step on the stage, and get familiar with the flow of the show, which is actually very tense.
When Zhou Lin and Ren Feifei arrived, the members of the band also happened to get the score.
The band invited by the last season of "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter" is a second-tier band in China, with the popularity of the show, the band has received a lot of performance invitations, and has been touring all over China for a while now, and there are many conflicts with the recording time of this season's program, and unfortunately lost the opportunity to cooperate.
After this season's program was confirmed to be recorded in the theater of the Pingjing Conservatory of Music, Tao Hong had a whimsical idea and simply invited more than a dozen famous musicians who graduated from Pingyin to form a new band to participate in the show.
Among them, guitarist Li Hong, keyboardist Liu Song, and flutist Wei Xiaoming are among the top two famous musicians in China, who have cooperated with many big stars and are famous in the music circle.
The others are also veterans in the circle, and their combination can be regarded as a great highlight of "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter" this time.
Li Hong and Liu Song sat together, still chatting when they got the score.
"Anyone dares to form a band these days. It's funny that both men and women, I doubt that they can play musical instruments, and they dare to call themselves bands. "Li Hong once joined a very well-known band in China, and later disbanded because the lead singer flew solo, and he has a very say in forming a band.
Liu Song also smiled: "Singing on the Internet." Why are you asking so much? Not to mention the band, as long as they are willing, we can't care if they make a harmonica or a three-string symphony orchestra, right? ”
Li Hong shrugged his shoulders: "I just think that such a person can be on the show, can you still watch it this season? Don't smash the signboards of our brothers!"
Liu Song said: "Whoever asked you to take this job, now you have to do it even if you are hard-headed." Let's take a look at the score. If they write a mess, we'll have to fix it. ”
While speaking, Liu Song opened the score.
The first page of the score is the song "Blue and White Porcelain" selected by the Tai Chi Band in the first round of competition.
This is a score transcribed after being arranged by Zhou Lin and Ren Feifei, and the arrangement is very detailed.
How to arrange the guitar, how to get the keyboard, how to get the drum beat, every link is written clearly and meticulously, and there is almost no need for the band to make any changes, just do it.
The effect after the arrangement is very good. Zhou Lin and Ren Feifei have simulated it several times with arrangement software, and they have a bit more delicate feeling than the original "Blue and White Porcelain". As long as the live band doesn't make mistakes, they will definitely be able to add a lot of points when they compete.
The score is only two pages long, and I read it quickly.
Li Hong was in a trance after reading it, and couldn't help but look at Liu Song, who also happened to look at him.
"Have you seen it?" asked Li Hong.
Liu Song nodded: "Looked." ”
"What do you think?" Li Hong swallowed.
Liu Song hesitated for a moment and said, "Hua Feng?"
Li Hong said: "Huafeng." ”
"There are a lot of musical instruments used here, flutes, lutes. Harp, zither. There are even wind chimes...... Damn, you really think of us as a symphony orchestra!" Liu Song scratched his head and said.
Li Hong groaned: "The requirements are quite high. However, the lyrics and songs have a foundation, and the arrangement is also very tasteful. If you do, it should work well. ”
The two of them stared at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and said in unison: "Interesting!"
Zhou Lin and Ren Feifei walked into the main stage of the theater, and a group of lighting engineers were busy decorating the venue. Filming will be official tomorrow. They had to adjust the lighting and environment to the point where they were recording.
Under the guidance of Lu Min, the two walked onto the stage to meet the musicians.
"Hello Mr. Li Hong, I have admired the name for a long time. When he saw Li Hong, Zhou Lin was quite excited.
Past and present lives. This Li Hong is a well-known guitarist. In his previous life, when Zhou Lin and Xiao Xiao were learning guitar, he once bought a book, the title of which was "Learning to Play the Guitar with Li Hong in 21 Days", and it can be said that Li Hong is half of his guitar teacher.
Li Hong said very politely: "Hello, although I haven't heard your name before, I am looking forward to cooperating with you." ”
Zhou Lin was stunned for a moment, he had heard rumors that Li Hong's temperament was very reckless, and unless he could overpower him in talent, he would ignore no one.
Could it be that the rumors are wrong? Zhou Lin looked at the polite Li Hong, and was a little puzzled in his heart.
When performing live, the cooperation between the singer and the band is very important, and it can almost make the difference between life and death of a song.
No matter how well the song is written, no matter how well the arrangement is, if the band can't play the soul of the song, it's like a singer standing on the stage and suddenly losing his voice, he will definitely die.
Zhou Lin and Ren Feifei are very aware of the importance of the band, and they are very respectful to each musician, Ren Feifei also took out the specialties brought from Songjiang, and everyone gave a small gift.
"You don't have to worry. We'll do our best. Liu Song accepted Ren Feifei's gift and said with a smile.
Wei Xiaoming, who was in charge of playing the flute, said: "I never knew what Director Tao Hong asked me to do, but after watching your arrangement of "Blue and White Porcelain", I knew what I was here for. ”
After speaking, he asked curiously: "Who wrote this song, it's awesome." If you want me to say, you must be the ones who won the first round!"
When a musician gets a good song, just like a singer gets a good song, there is an urge to be very excited and eager to show it.
"Blue and White Porcelain" is such a good song, Zhou Lin's arrangement is very detailed, and everyone is a professional, almost without too much preparation, after discussing a few sentences, they simply went directly to the rehearsal.
Ren Feifei stood in the center of the stage, the lights shining on her.
Even though she was wearing only a simple white shirt and jeans, when the lights lit up, she seemed to shine endlessly.
Zhou Lin stood at the edge of light and shadow behind Ren Feifei, holding a guitar in his hand.
participated in "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter", Zhou Lin was destined to give up a low-key life.
But fortunately, more light is focused on Ren Feifei's body.
Zhou Lin felt that as long as he didn't open his mouth to sing, there was still hope that he would not be recognized when he walked on the street. (To be continued.) )
