Chapter 183: Kung Pao Chicken
Lin Zaishan smiled: "I'm just doing it for you now to help you open up your ideas." After having an inspiration and direction, everyone will enrich it in this direction, put more thought into the lyrics and songs, and design and polish them well, so that the works can be taken out for the competition. ”
Lin Zaishan said this to several singer-songwriters, and the reason why he said so much was that he hoped to help these singer-songwriters who were competing on the same stage and make the next show more beautiful. Otherwise, if he is brilliant alone, the excitement of the show will be greatly reduced.
Zhao Chengdong grabbed Lin Zaishan and didn't let go: "Teacher Lin, this song of chickens, even if you polish it well, you can't take out the TV in your hand, right?" Do you want this kind of nursery rhyme to compete? ”
"Hey? Zhao Chengdong, why are you talking so much nonsense today? Even Guan Yaling couldn't listen to it anymore, and helped Lin Zaishan speak: "Teacher Lin has talked about it, this is to help everyone develop ideas, and I didn't think about using this song on TV." ”
Li Xiaoni on the other end of the phone, listening to Guan Yaling say that the person who has been lifting the bar is Zhao Chengdong, her brows furrowed slightly, thinking that this guy is not the kind of person who is full of bad water, he wants to be good at recording skills. Why did he get on the bar with Lin Zaishan?
Lin Zaishan has offended him before? No, they are not people of the same period at all, when Lin Zaishan was in the circle, this Zhao Chengdong was still a student.
Zhao Chengdong continued to raise the bar: "Isn't Mr. Lin helping a few singer-songwriters develop ideas?" What's the point of not going in the direction of TV? ”
Wu Yifan said angrily: "Zhao Chengdong! You're going to raise the bar again, get out of here!" ”
"Where did I raise the bar? I'm just discussing, and I don't understand. ”
"Okay, okay, don't waste time talking about this. I don't have much time, so I'll try to say as much as I can, and I can help you as much as I can, and you can understand as much as you can. Don't ask me any more questions. I don't want to talk about something too deep, I don't have time to talk about it, and I'm afraid you won't be able to digest it. If you really want to discuss, go to the Beyond forum and discuss with me, I welcome everyone to come to the forum and ask me questions, as long as I have time, I will be patient to discuss with you. ”
Zhao Chengdong was still grinding: "Then you can say something useful." If you make a children's rhyme, it won't help these singer-songwriters at all. ”
Shi Feng was angry: "Why didn't it help?" I think Mr. Lin spoke very well, and I learned a lot from his open-mindedness! ”
Qiu Zhenhai and the others also nodded, feeling that what Lin Zaishan said did give them something to gain.
Lin Zaishan saw that everyone had a tendency to quarrel, and hurriedly returned to the topic: "Stop, don't waste time." Back to this proposition. Just now we conceived in a bit of a wrong direction, running bird flu up - this topic itself is not suitable for TV, so let's not force waste time on such a proposition. In the future, when you prepare these propositions. It is possible that the same situation will occur - as soon as I come up, I will deviate from the direction of divergence, and at this time I still say the same sentence: withdraw it, go back to the beginning, and re-conceive. Just like the proposition of the chicken, if everyone diverges in several directions and can't come up with a particularly good idea, then go back to the proposition itself and completely put aside the image of the chicken and think again. ”
Lin Zaishan wrote a big "chicken" character on the paper. Pick it up and compare it to a few singer-songwriters: "You forget the image of the chicken, just look at this word." What comes to mind? ”
Shi Feng was the first to reply: "I think of the menu - chicken, chicken steak, kung pao chicken." ”
"Poof."
Tang Yaxuan and Guan Yaling were both amused by this stupid big man.
"That's a good direction of divergence! The program team gave us a chicken material, if we can fry a plate of kung pao chicken for the audience, isn't it a very creative thing? Let's not talk about how this dish is fried, just this idea. It will be a plus for our works. ”
Shi Feng smiled in surprise: "No, Kung Pao Chicken can also write songs?" ”
Guan Yaling said: "I must be able to write, even celery can be created, and such a distinctive dish as Kung Pao Chicken is better to diverge and create." ”
Lin Zaishan nodded in agreement. He has the finished product of Tao Zhe's "Kung Pao Chicken" in his head, so he is very confident in this creative direction.
He is now using the finished product to tell everyone, not to pretend to be B, but to use these mature works to inspire these singer-songwriters and creative ideas.
This is like a teacher in a school who gives a lesson to everyone with famous works, when the teacher gives a lecture, he not only has to talk about the connotation of these works, but also has their own understanding of the work.
Lin Zaishan is now combining his own understanding of the works, using otherworldly music as a guide, and helping these singer-songwriters to develop their musical thinking.
Zhao Chengdong grinded again: "The more you talk about it, the more evil it becomes, I really regard writing songs as cooking." ”
A producer next to him said: "Isn't writing a song just cooking - choosing ingredients, adding condiments, adjusting the heat, plus the chef's skillful copying, a dish will come out like this, and the same is true for writing songs." ”
Lin Zaishan said with a smile: "That's a good point, in fact, musicians and cooks have a lot of similarities. Legend has it that real chefs cook with emotion – I don't know if that's true, but if it's true, then they're more like us making music. Before a top chef can innovate a dish, they must first have an idea, they must understand what kind of dish they want to make, and then they will do it. Instead of doing it blindly as soon as you get started. After having an idea, they will match the material in this direction. Most of the time when we create music, we have to have a proposition and then start to create it. ”
Lin Zaishan looked at a few singer-songwriters, for example: "Let's take Kung Pao Chicken as an example, we think of Kung Pao Chicken, how should we create it?" What kind of song should we write this kung pao chicken dice? ”
Shi Feng casually answered: "Write it as a love song!" ”
"Haha, that's good, you go on, how do you write it into a love song?"
Shi Feng thought for a while and said: "The taste of Kung Pao Chicken is very similar to love - sweet and sour, spicy and spicy, and it looks greasy on the outside, but when you really eat it in your mouth, you will feel happy!" ”
"That's great! - Bang Bang Bang. Lin Zaishan applauded Shi Feng: "Once you find this feeling, you can continue to diverge in this direction to create." That's the idea. ”
"Teacher Lin. Don't just talk about not practicing, you can give these singer-songwriters a demonstration, really fry a plate of kung pao chicken. ”
Zhao Chengdong's words are not good, but these people present are really looking forward to Lin Zaishan being able to stir-fry dishes.
Li Xiaoni on the other end of the phone was very upset by Zhao Chengdong. I especially look forward to Lin Zaishan being able to fry a plate of kung pao chicken and slap it on Zhao Chengdong's face!
Lin Zaishan glanced at the time and said, "Okay, then I'll hurry up and give you a simple demonstration." If I were to diverge my thinking from the dish of Kung Pao Chicken, I would probably associate this dish with emotions like Shi Feng, but I don't want to make it too greasy. So I'll think about it a little more, what are the other characteristics of this kung pao chicken? That's when I thought. This dish is the favorite Chinese dish for foreigners. Especially in the United States, it is said that when Lao Mei goes to a Chinese restaurant, he must order Kung Pao Chicken, which is their favorite Chinese Food. And many of the music styles on our side are transmitted from the United States, just like Shi Feng, when you were in the singer-songwriter preliminary competition, you performed a Chinese-English combination of R&B. Right? ”
Shi Feng nodded, what he sang in the first round was indeed an R&B.
Lin Zaishan continued: "Americans like to eat our Chinese kung pao chicken. We Chinese like to sing American R&B, think about it, can we combine these two things to make a piece? It should be a lot of fun to sing our kung pao chicken with R&B, right? Of course, if you want to go deeper, use such works to reflect the collision of Eastern and Western cultures. Yes, too. But now that time is limited, I won't give you a deeper do, I'll simply give you a meaning to help you open your mind. ”
Lin Zaishan stood up from the piano and walked to the side to hold the electric box piano in the piano room in his arms. After trying the sound, it was not bad, and he was going to play the guitar to demonstrate it to these people.
These producers in the house listened to Lin Zaishan talk about Kung Pao Chicken, and they actually talked about the cultural collision between the East and the West, and they were all shocked!
If other people were talking nonsense with the skylight open, they would think that those people were talking nonsense, but most of the people in this room had heard of Lin Zaishan's works, and the ideas in Lin Zaishan's works were usually very large, and the quality of these works was extremely high.
Listening to Lin Zaishan talk about the collision between Kung Pao Chicken Ding and R&B, they don't think that Lin Zaishan is talking nonsense, they really think: This uncle wants to do it in this direction, and he will definitely be able to make amazing works!
And Lin Zaishan's open and jumping thinking made them even more admired!
No wonder this uncle can always make different works, fundamentally speaking, his thinking is different!
Ordinary people see a mountain, that is a mountain, but he seems to see the world behind the hill, this is the difference in life experience, but also the difference in the realm of life, this uncle is really a genius-level strongman!
Li Xiaoni was even more surprised when she listened to Lin Zaishan talk about the cultural collision between the East and the West from Kung Pao Chicken Ding on the other end of the phone! At the same time, she was also more curious, what happened to Lin Zaishan over the years? Why has his mind and vision changed so much?
Lin Zaishan sat back in front of the piano with the guitar in his arms and said to everyone: "The soul and form of R&B represent the freedom of Westerners, and the strict process of Kung Pao Chicken represents the tradition of our Orientals. But we're talking about music today, so I'm not going to let them collide with fierce sparks, this has to be done deeply, it's too time-consuming. I'll just use the free form of R&B to stir-fry a simple plate of kung pao chicken for you, mainly to let you feel how to do happy R&B. ”
Lin Zaishan said, and used the guitar to play the pure guitar sound in the prelude of "Kung Pao Chicken", which was full of rhythm.
Guan Yaling's ears were immediately pinched by the sound of Lin Zaishan's piano. After only listening to a few notes, she keenly felt that Lin Zaishan played the prelude, with a faint rustic style.
"We shouldn't think of R&B as a great thing, but as a very free form of musical expression, and it's okay to sing children's songs with it."
Lin Zaishan casually sang the introduction of "Kung Pao Chicken"-
……
I have a little donkey that I never ride~
One day I rode to the market on a whim~
……
When everyone heard Lin Zaishan actually sing that I have a little donkey, they were stupid!
Is this R&B?
It's so strange to listen to him sing! But at the same time, it really feels good!
This uncle's musicality is really outstanding! sang casually, but there was no sense of disobedience at all, which made people super comfortable to listen to. What is this for?
In fact, there is no reason, Lin Zaishan sang this song many times in his previous life, he practiced R&B with this song, and he studied every sentence thoroughly, of course, he can bluff these people as soon as he starts speaking.
Still playing the piano, Lin Zaishan told everyone: "The soul of singing R&B is to be free." You can sing anything. If we want to use it to sing Kung Pao Chicken, we will freely set up a story about Kung Pao Chicken. Let's assume that the protagonist of this story is a little farmer with a little donkey, who likes to eat Kung Pao Chicken, and his life is as refreshing and simple as Kung Pao Chicken. On a whim this day, he rode a little donkey to the market, so he went to buy the ingredients for Kung Pao Chicken. ”
Lin Zaishan seemed to make up the story casually, which surprised the people below, and they couldn't believe that they made it up so casually. Can this uncle really fry a plate of kung pao chicken?
Li Xiaoni was a little worried when she heard it on the other end of the phone, Lin Zaishan casually sang a little donkey to catch the market, and then he wanted to spread out the story of Kung Pao Chicken from this direction, which is too exaggerated!
This brother is simply setting the difficulty for himself! As soon as he came up, he sang what a little donkey went to the market! Is it just to express the freedom and casualness of R&B?
Feeling the guitar melody that Lin Zaishan has never stopped, and listening to the story told by Lin Zaishan so freely and cheerfully, Guan Yaling is looking forward to the dish that Lin Zaishan wants to fry.
Lin Zaishan tapped the box board of the guitar with his fingers, played a handsome "drum beat", and then started singing the song again-
……
I have a little donkey that I never ride~
One day I rode to the market on a whim~
……
I've never had such a hot summer in my memory~
It's impossible to only 38 degrees today~
At five o'clock in the morning, after eating the fried cakes, I went to plow the fields~
Happiness is to live one day at a time~
……
I love this simple feeling~
Happiness is like a plate of hot-and-spicy Kung Pao Chicken ~yes~
……
Lin Zaishan sang it again. The long and short tones were played very tactfully and naturally, and a happy and lively little farmer appeared in everyone's minds. Even Zhao Chengdong was shocked this time - this uncle's improvisation seems to be really strong! Sing it casually, it feels so good!
Lin Zaishan left a break and told everyone: "If you want to build a complete work, you can add a casual rap to this part, talk about the ingredients for choosing kung pao chicken, and point to the topic." It's also a foreshadowing. This song can't just go to the market to buy groceries, then the taste will be weak. Let's add more spices, and let the little farmer buy the big rooster and meet a girl in a cute floral dress at the market, just like an angel in a dream. The girl's smile made the little farmer fall in love at first sight. From here on, his favorite kung pao chicken will become this girl. ”
Lin Zaishan explained and continued to sing-
……
I came to the town market with my big mimi~
In the lively crowd of buying and selling~
You are like an angel appearing in a dream and wearing a floral dress~
Your laughter made me fall in love at first sight~
……
I love this feeling of innocence~
Even if the sky falls, it's not a problem~
……
I just want to be with you every day~
You don't have to do anything at home~
I just want you to be my baby~
……
i-dont-care-if you have a big lady temper~
Or you want to play a game of love with me~
Ooh-youre-my-baby~
ooh~
Love is like Kung Pao Chicken ~yes~
……
At this moment, the hearts of many musicians in the house are about to be exploded by Lin Zaishan's improvisation!
Saying it so casually and singing it casually shows the soul of R&B so vividly! This uncle has such a strong feeling of singing R&B! It's not an exaggeration to say he's an R&B singer! He completely captures the essence of R&B!
Not to mention, he still sang improvised!
Although the lyrics are not very rhyming, the feeling of singing is so free and simple, which is the essence of R&B! The vivid image of a small farmer jumped on the page, and if you think about it, many people rack their brains to write it, and they may not be able to write such interesting lyrics!
The lyrics he created casually seem to flow out with the melody of freedom, this uncle's talent is really terrifying!
Li Xiaoni on the other end of the phone has become super excited again!
She didn't expect Lin Zaishan to stir-fry so casually that he could stir-fry a plate of such fresh and delicious kung pao chicken!
She was reluctant to slap this dish on Zhao Chengdong's face. With a little more condiments, you can take it out and serve it to everyone, so that everyone can taste it!
Zhao Chengdong listened to Lin Zaishan sing the song "Kung Pao Chicken", and finally stopped talking nonsense. Seeing that Li Wei became very excited again, he only had to smile bitterly - it was going to rain, her mother was going to get married, and the little girl was going to be attracted to a talented old man, no one could stop it!
Lin Zaishan only sang for a short time before stopping.
Fu Strings closed his voice and said to a few singer-songwriters: "That's probably what it means, you feel and feel, if you want to use R&B style in your future creation, you must be more free and more individual, don't be limited to the R&B style on the market now, you have to try to make your own style." ”
Seeing that Tang Yaxuan was taking notes seriously, Lin Zaishan deliberately said again: "Xiao Tang, don't remember R&B things too much, every musician has the singing style of each musician, although it is a good thing for our growth to challenge different music styles, but after all, this is a competition, you still have to dig more into your own strengths, don't easily challenge the style that you can't control now." ”
Tang Yaxuan was very embarrassed by what Lin Zaishan said, nodded shyly and humbly, and stopped writing.
The reason why Lin Zaishan ordered Tang Yaxuan was because he was afraid that Tang Yaxuan would be stimulated by his R&B, and she would also challenge, it would be a waste of time, it would be impossible for this girl to sing R&B well in a short time, let alone do R&B.
In order not to embarrass Tang Yaxuan too much, Lin Zaishan said with a smile: "On the proposition of chicken, including some propositions in other general directions, you young boys who grew up eating hamburgers and girls who grew up eating fried chicken should start from yourself and dig out your own stories to diverge and create." Your generation of young people has a lot of stories to tell. (To be continued.) )
