Chapter 184: The Chicken and the Mermaid
Lin Zaishan continued to tell the singer-songwriters about his experience: "Love is a very magical thing, sweet and sour, bitter, salty and astringent - you have to taste all kinds of flavors with your heart, and you can taste them from love." If you associate food with love, it will be easier to think outside the box and create. And this kind of seemingly easy creation, if you want to make your own characteristics, you need to use more brains. ”
Lin Zaishan hurried up and replied to the proposition: "Let's take the proposition of chicken, Kung Pao Chicken has a love story to write, and similarly, chicken cutlets, there is a story to write." Especially Xiao Tang, you young people are a generation of young people who grew up in the era of fast food, and in your world, everything changes very quickly. From this point of view, you can dig out a lot of your own stories and attitudes to create. ”
Lin Zaishan's words are not high-level, but they can indeed inspire these young singer-songwriters.
"The song "Celery" I made for you just now is actually made by imitating the mentality of young people like Xiao Qiu. The angle from which I dig is to see the mentality of you young people from the eyes of one of my uncles, but your mentality is only best understood by you, and I can only imagine and figure it out. If you grasp your own attitude and express it, instead of blindly imitating traditional works, the music that comes out of this way will definitely be very vibrant and distinctive.
"Let's take broken love as an example, how to write about broken love? A bad thing happened, it is an attitude for you to cry and call your mother to completely collapse, and it is also an attitude for you to be depressed, not to wash your face and not to brush your teeth and to lock yourself in a dark room, of course, you have no heart and lungs and pretend to be naïve and pretend that it did not happen This is also an attitude.
"The number of popular songs about love is so huge that it is impossible to roughly estimate, and breaking up and falling out of love are the main themes in this huge symphony of love songs. In Dafan's works, songs about broken love. are all sad heavy rains, tear-rushing emotional interpretations, or lonely interpretations of sitting sadly and teardrops, always affectionate mess.
"But is this how the world of you young people should be? I don't know, but I personally imagine that you young people should not have such an attitude towards a broken love. At least in musical compositions, such elements should not be presented.
"The old-school attitude should not be in you young people. Young people in the era of fast food, in the face of love, should have their own attitudes and emotions - casual, natural, free and easy. Don't twist, let alone pretend, face these things with vigor or even a little naïve 'stupidity', maybe you can write your own works. ”
After Lin Zaishan told this, several young people thoughtfully recorded something.
Guan Yaling listened very attentively and suggested, "Teacher Lin, why don't you give them another example, this may make them understand what you said better." ”
Wu Yifan and others also agreed with letting Lin Zaishan give another example to create, the work that Lin Zaishan is doing today. It's exactly the job that Guan Yaling, a mentor, should do, he is guiding and helping these singer-songwriters to create. You know, this uncle is also one of the singer-songwriters, and he has to compete with them. He wasn't even worried about giving other singer-songwriters a pick. So as to compete with him, this calm self-confidence is really admirable.
Lin Zaishan said generously: "Okay, then I'll give another example." Don Jr. I give you an example, don't you mind? I'll try to make a little story with your image. ”
Tang Yaxuan was flattered and said, "Of course I don't mind." ”
"I'll assume that your boyfriend is tired of your relationship. He didn't even want to go on a date, you had made an appointment with him, and you went to the square to wait for him, but he released the pigeons for you and didn't give you an explanation, what would you do at this time? ”
was stunned by Lin Zaishan's question, Tang Yaxuan couldn't say what to do for a while.
Lin Zaishan smiled: "Hehe, this must be a very sad thing for a girl, right?" But you have to give yourself an explanation. Are you begging to go to him for nothing? Or keep calling him and asking him where he went? - Personally, I think these are the attitudes of old-fashioned girls, and they shouldn't be seen in you boys and girls in the fast-food era.
"I've been talking about young people in the fast food era, I'm not belittling your generation, I don't mean that at all, don't think it sounds awkward. I think that young people in every era should have very distinct characteristics of the times. Your generation is completely different from ours when they were younger. The music you create should be very different from ours.
"If you're released by your boyfriend, and you're still begging to go to your boyfriend for nothing -- it's a cliché. In creation, we should show a new attitude, just like you girls in the new era, in the face of irretrievable love, you show a little naïve and a little sad, but try to see things away, is it better?
"Or back to the construction of the story, you were released by your boyfriend, standing in the square, holding fried chicken, and you can think about where the hell this boy went? You can also reflect that this may be a kind of love torment. At the end of the day, you just don't want to do anything, keep your head down and continue to eat your fried chicken, a little cozy, a little lazy, tired and too lazy to suspect anything.
"There is a wound, but there is no wanton shouting, there is affection, and there is no fanning the flames - this uninhibited tone is a kind of attitude that young people in the fast-food era face feelings and love very much. In the face of love, stickiness should be disdained by you.
"People who grew up in the era of fast food will not only have a sense of weakness and helplessness for other feelings, but also more or less for other feelings. Of course, you can also have your own opinions and opinions, and you can disagree with what I say. What I say is my personal senses that I usually observe and summarize, and I only represent me, and I do not want to represent all of you. You'd better have your own attitude.
"From my point of view, after figuring out the attitude of your young people, there is also a general story scene construction, and then you can start to create. In my mind, I just think about Xiao Tang's appearance when you were released by your boyfriend in the People's Square with fried chicken in your hand, you have a distinct fried chicken girl helpless and free and easy in the face of emotional loss, a little naïve, but also a little confused. But at the end of the day, you come across as cute, with a bit of youthful quirkiness. Once you set up such an image and story, and then compose the music, it will be easy to grasp the emotion. At this time, it is only appropriate to express it with a fresh electronic melody. ”
The more people listen, the more fascinated they become, in the eyes of others, creation is an extremely difficult thing, but listening to Lin Zaishan's words, how can any link become easily solved. It's all so easy? Could it be that this is the legendary genius?
Li Xiaoni was told by Lin Zaishan on the other end of the phone, and a very distinct story scene appeared in her mind, starting from this scene, she faintly gave birth to her own creative feeling in her heart, and the method can compose a cute song to express the mentality of this fried chicken girl. This creative feeling is amazing to her.
"Don Jr., can you sing music? I'll simply make a melody for you, and you can feel it. ”
"I ...... I can't. Tang Yaxuan really wanted to feel the story and melody that Lin Zaishan laid out for her, but she really didn't have the strength to sing music, after all, she was not from a professional class.
"Or I'll do it. Mr. Lin. ”
Guan Yaling is also enthusiastic to cooperate with Lin Zaishan's creation.
"Okay, Mr. Xiaoguan, you are also a young girl, you should understand what I just said, right? In the age of fast food, lyrics don't really need to be too nutritious. The key is attitude. ”
"I understand, I tried to grasp the song from the perspective of an innocent little girl."
Lin Zaishan quickly wrote the lyrics of "I Eat Fried Chicken in People's Square" by another female folk singer, Ah Huan, and simply composed a song for Guan Yaling. also deliberately emphasized how to grasp several uninhibited and funny points in this song.
Guan Yaling was taught to listen. There was an undercurrent of admiration in her heart, and she couldn't understand why Lin Zaishan wrote a song casually. Among them, can the feelings be expressed so sincerely and appropriately? His talent for using music to express emotions is too strong!
The lyrics of these songs he improvised are like "Celery", "Chicken" and now "Fried Chicken", the lyrics are super simple, and they can be written by any person, but with the tune, the emotions can be immediately tuned out by these simple lyrics.
To say, in the Chinese music scene, this big-breasted female mentor is also a female talent who has made the top ten golden songs of the year for several consecutive years, but compared with Lin Zaishan, she really has the meaning of being willing to bow down. This uncle's belly seems to hide infinite musical talent, and a little bit of it explodes outward, which can make people feel a kind of genius inspiration.
The more she cooperated with Lin Zaishan, the more Guan Yaling realized that this uncle was full of musical cells that condensed emotions. This uncle's musical charm really fascinated her.
Lin Zaishan put effects on the electric box piano, and after a simple match with Guan Yaling, the two performed for these expected musicians on the spot.
With Lin Zaishan's fresh electronic guitar accompaniment, Guan Yaling stood next to the piano, holding up her proud big breasts, swaying her shoulders slightly with the melody, grasping the attitude of the song that Lin Zaishan told her, and opened her voice with a girl voice that was not gorgeous or mellow, frustrated but not painful-
……
Recently, you have become very apathetic~
Makes me a little overwhelmed~
Actually, I didn't expect too much~
You can love me as much as you used to~
It's just that you can't even get away with a date~
I don't say anything about it~
……
It's not that I don't know~
Love needs to be tormented~
It's not that I didn't pray~
You're just late~
……
I'm eating fried chicken in People's Square~
And where are you at this moment~
Although maybe you are striking the east and west~
But tiredness has made me too lazy to doubt~
I'm eating fried chicken in People's Square~
And where are you at this moment~
……
After singing this song, Guan Yaling sang it very happily, although the song was written very short, Lin Zaishan wrote a small melody, but feeling the feelings contained in the song that she had never felt, she felt very interesting, as if in Lin Zaishan's improvisation, she experienced a girl's lovelorn and made up for some of the beauty she missed when she was young. It was a taste that made her feel very new.
Tang Yaxuan and others listened to Lin Zaishan's improvisation, and they also felt that there was a particularly fresh feeling.
Many producers have listened to this emotional and sincere song of broken love, and some shackles and shackles in their minds have also opened up some shackles and shackles in their minds - it turns out that broken love can still write songs like this, this uncle's musical thinking is really interesting.
Lee Hyo-ni on the other end of the phone. After listening to this melody made by Lin Zaishan, she secretly exclaimed that it was wonderful, which was more thorough and appropriate than the melody she had just come up with, it was really like a little girl venting her feelings when she was released from the pigeons.
This brother doesn't know how many things he has observed behind the scenes over the years, and he can even express the thoughts of a little girl in the new era so apt and interesting. He wouldn't really go to People's Square to see the little sister who ate fried chicken on a date, right? How else could it be so aptly written? Thinking playfully, Lee Hyo-ni laughed at herself.
"It's almost time, I won't say much, from chicken divergence to fried chicken, and then diverge into the story of a fried chicken girl being released by a pigeon, which is actually a kind of divergent thinking to create ideas that I want to convey to you. These propositions given to us by the program team. If you do it as it is, the resulting work may be more conservative, but it will definitely not get extra points in terms of creativity. However, if we can take a more novel perspective, make the idea clearer, and even strive to include some distinctive characteristics of the times, the works that will result in this way can not only add points in creativity, but also leave a deep impression on people. Even if it's a fast food work, as long as you dig out and grasp the characteristics. It's just as fascinating. ”
"Lao Lin, you're not going to leave here, are you? It's only six o'clock, can't you stay until half past six? Tell them more about it. Seeing that Lin Zaishan got up and went to put the guitar, it seemed that he was going to end the "lecture". Wu Yifan immediately spoke out to persuade him.
Guan Yaling didn't want to let go of this opportunity to taste Lin Zaishan's musical talent, and begged: "Teacher Lin, you can talk about a few more propositions and open up more ideas for us singer-songwriters." ”
Tang Yaxuan, Shi Feng and the others all looked at Lin Zaishan with longing in their eyes. With a pleading gaze, I hope that the other party will give them a little more.
Even Duan Yuenan, who didn't want to participate in the competition, was moved by Lin Zaishan's extraordinary musical thinking and talent, and especially hoped to learn more experience in music creation from Lin Zaishan.
Lin Zaishan looked at everyone very enthusiastically. Zhao Chengdong didn't find fault anymore, his eyes were full of light listening to his creation and singing, it seemed that he was out of the professional habits of a top recording engineer, looking for the charm of his singing.
Seeing this, Lin Zaishan sat down again and said, "Then I'll talk about it briefly." I still say that after getting a proposition, we have to think more divergently-when we see the proposition of oranges, we can write a story about orange soda; Seeing the proposition of grass, we can make a vanilla bar and pop it out. Turning a big proposition into a more specific and directional small thing is actually easier for us to create. ”
Lin Zaishan said for a long time: "I'll give you another example of the proposition of fish." Over the years, I've written a lot of songs about fish. There are many singers in the circle who have also sung songs about fish, and there are already so many mature works in front of everyone, how can we push through the old and make eye-catching works? This means abandoning some traditional imagery and concepts, and looking at the proposition from a new perspective. Don Jr., what was the first thing that came to your mind when you saw the fish? Don't tell me about fish-flavored shredded pork, let's not talk about food. I've been eating for a long time, and I'm hungry now. ”
Everyone was amused by Lin Zaishan.
Tang Yaxuan said sweetly: "If I were asked to do the proposition of fish, I might write about mermaids." ”
"Very good, mermaid is a moving legend, there are many love stories and movies about mermaids on the market that everyone is familiar with, if we create from this point of view, we should be able to write good love works. However, this may be a cliché again. How can you create a mermaid story from a different perspective?
"We don't start from the perspective of a mermaid, can we create this story from the perspective of an ordinary person who loves mermaids deeply? Not everyone has the courage to fall in love with a mermaid who will attract the attention of the world. For an ordinary person, falling in love with a mermaid is subject to a lot of secular pressure. The mermaid may also consider the worldly pressure on the man and choose to swim back to the sea, preferring to sacrifice herself rather than let the man suffer the pressure of this 'human-animal love'. If we chose this angle to create this story, wouldn't it be a bit new?
"A mermaid can run aground for love, and she can sacrifice herself for love. Similarly, if we ordinary people really fall in love with a mermaid, we can also ignore the gossip in the world and dive to the bottom of the sea for her. Even, watch for her and become a statue on the beach. Whether she looks back or not, we will always stand on the beach, until we die. Just so that she can see us when she pokes her head out of the sea, and that's enough. The love of a mermaid is great, and the love we reciprocate for a mermaid can be just as great. ”
Li Xiaoni listened on the other end of the phone, and her tears almost didn't fall. Lin Zaishan told the story of a mermaid and a statue watching on the beach, this is clearly the story between her and him! Ten years ago, wasn't she the mermaid who chose to swim back to the sea? And Lin Zaishan has become a statue on the beach that has been watching over her.
Guan Yaling was moved by Lin Zaishan's novel mermaid story: "Mr. Lin, this story you diverged is very touching, can you give us a demonstration, and now write a beautiful and pathetic melody to praise this great feeling?" ”
Everyone is looking forward to the creation of Lin Zaishan's story. Especially Li Xiaoni, who pays special attention to it, wants to see what kind of song Lin Zaishan will write for this story between them.
Lin Zaishan said: "I'm so hungry now that I can't write." If you really want to hear the work of this story, please pay attention to the Beyond forum, and my works will be published on the Beyond forum in the future. This story is very touching, and I will definitely write it into a work. It will be posted on the Beyond forum when the time comes. ”
Li Xiaoni is going to be angry with Lin Zaishan! How can you make an advertisement at this critical moment! This brother is so "despicable"!
Lin Zaishan is indeed deliberately whetting the appetite of these musicians, he can't give them lectures in vain, and take the opportunity to publicize the Beyond Forum, which should be used as a teaching fee.
If many musicians can pay attention to the Beyond forum, the Beyond forum will rise faster and have a better reputation in the circle. This is what Lin Zaishan wants to see the most.
Seeing that everyone was a little unsatisfied, Lin Zaishan said again: "I won't create about mermaids, I'll sing you a song about fish that I wrote before." I think singing this song now will have a better creative and inspiring meaning for your creation. ”
The song about fish that Lin Zaishan wants to sing can not only inspire these young people creatively, but also make them more full of fighting spirit mentally. (To be continued.) )
