Chapter 59: Just Find Your Inspiration!
"Which of your tendons is wrong today? Why did you think of going to Professor Wang early in the morning, is there anything urgent? As soon as Ye Siying saw Chen Chufan, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
Chen Chufan scratched his head a little embarrassed, he felt that for a newcomer, the sudden idea of wanting to write a song seemed a bit too ambitious. So I'm a little embarrassed. However, in the face of Ye Siying, he didn't hide anything: "Didn't Xiaoxi ask me to think of a show to perform at the school's anniversary celebration party, I just wanted to write a song myself and then perform it at the party." That's why I thought of going to Professor Wang early in the morning and asking him to give me some advice on what I need to pay attention to and what I still need to learn! After all, it won't be long before the party, and I have to prepare early. By the way, don't tell Xiaoxi yet. ”
Hearing Chen Chufan's answer, Ye Siying was slightly distracted. As Han Xiaoxi's best friend, of course she knows that Han Xiaoxi has always wanted to be a singer, although her family strongly opposes it, but Han Xiaoxi still insists on choosing to study in the music department, perhaps it is the persistence of this dream. Chen Chufan decided to write his own songs and then sing them, which should be regarded as a good thing. If Han Xiaoxi knew that Chen Chufan decided to write his own song and sing it at the party, how excited would he be?
And what about yourself? Perhaps the piano piece I played for myself when I first met should be my best memory.
"What do you think?" Seeing that the girl in front of him was a little distracted, Chen Chufan was a little puzzled.
Chen Chufan's words brought Ye Siying back to her senses, she smiled softly, and said lightly: "It's nothing, I just think you are quite competent as a boyfriend, and you are considering helping your girlfriend continue her dream." That's a good idea, you have to do it! I support you on behalf of Xiaoxi! Let's go, let's go. ”
After Ye Siying finished speaking, she walked first, and Chen Chufan hurriedly followed, walked to her side, and walked side by side with her.
"By the way, in the morning Xiaoxi asked me what was wrong? I haven't even thought if you can give me some leakage! Walking on the road, Chen Chufan asked.
"I'm sorry, classmate Chen Chufan, I'm not your love advisor. If you ask me about music, I'll answer it. Emotional matters, go and discuss with your Xiaoxi yourself! Ye Siying said with a chuckle.
The two came to Professor Wang's office, where Professor Wang was writing a book, and Chen Chufan's self-devotional net obviously surprised Professor Wang.
"You should have a class this morning!" Professor Wang glanced at the second-year history class schedule taped to the wall. Ever since Chen Chufan decided to join Professor Wang's door, this handwritten class schedule has been posted on the wall of Professor Wang's desk.
"Well, because I want to ask you some questions, I'll skip class." Chen Chufan was very calm. Anyway, he knew that Professor Wang had always been resentful about his refusal to change departments, so he didn't care whether he skipped the history department or not. In fact, Professor Wang did not make any evaluation of Chen Chufan's truancy, but immediately asked with concern: "What?" Is there something I don't understand about those textbooks I gave you? ”
"No, I've basically read it, and if I don't understand, Ye Siying has also answered for me. I would like to ask you for something else this time! Then Chen Chufan told Professor Wang his thoughts again.
"I see, I said why did you come to me early in the morning, this bad old man." Professor Wang smiled, and turned to look at Ye Siying, who had been standing aside without saying a word: "Siying, what are you looking for me?" Is there something wrong with that? ”
Ye Siying smiled softly and glanced at Chen Chufan, who was slightly embarrassed: "Elder Wang, I'm fine, it's Chen Chufan who doesn't dare to come to you alone, so he has to pull me to accompany him." ”
"What? Am I that scary? Professor Wang asked Chen Chufan jokingly.
Chen Chufan just smiled crampedly and didn't answer.
"Actually, if you really eat all the teaching materials I gave you, it won't be difficult to compose music by yourself at all!" Professor Wang didn't tease the embarrassed Chen Chufan, and said directly. After speaking, he looked at Chen Chufan, who was still confused, and continued: "That's it, let's do a test first, Siying, you can also come." ”
After speaking, Professor Wang opened the drawer of his desk and took out a pocket-sized radio. Then he motioned for Chen Chufan and Ye Siying to sit opposite him, and one of them gave them a pen and a piece of paper.
"I'm going to put on a piece of music now, and when you two are done, write out the score for this music!" After speaking, Professor Wang pressed the play button of the player.
It is a fast-paced melody with harmonies, but for Chen Chufan, there is really no difficulty. The basic stave and simple notation have long been familiar to him, and now his perverted memory makes him completely comfortable with such a small test. Within a minute of the music, he had completely recorded the score of this melody and handed it to Professor Wang, who was looking at the two of them.
"So fast?" It was obvious that Chen Chufan's speed surprised Professor Wang a little. Although Professor Wang recognized Chen Chufan's talent, he knew that some of Chen Chufan's basic knowledge of music theory was not perfect, and although he had been instilled by himself for more than a month, he did not think that such a short time could really enable Chen Chufan to fully grasp these knowledge. So he didn't expect that Chen Chufan would complete this small test faster than Ye Siying. And I've only listened to this once, so I have to listen to it at least two or three times to complete this test under normal circumstances, right? This kid isn't going to be scribbling! Professor Wang still thinks so.
But when he carefully read the answer sheet handed by Chen Chufan, Professor Wang was once again shocked by the musical talent displayed by the kid in front of him. It's recorded perfectly, even the pause of a note is so flawless, what kind of strong musicality and solid foundation does it take to do it? Is there really anyone who is so talented that he can fully grasp this knowledge with just over a month of study?
"You've heard this tune before?" Professor Wang asked with some gaffe.
"Nope!" Chen Chufan replied honestly.
"Hey, there are still geniuses in this world!" Professor Wang shook his head and sighed, "Chen Chufan, it's a bit condescending to let you be my student!" ”
Professor Wang's words made Chen Chufan very embarrassed. Hurriedly said modestly: "Elder Wang, don't say that, wherever you go, you are also my enlightenment teacher!" ”
"Siying, don't write it, show it to me!" Professor Wang smiled bitterly and turned to Ye Siying.
After reading Ye Siying's records, it is actually quite good, about half of the records are recorded, and the accuracy is quite high. If you hadn't read Chen Chufan's answer sheet first. Professor Wang may be very pleased, but he is afraid of comparison.
"Yes, all good!" Professor Wang praised. "Actually, Chen Chufan, if you just want to write a song, instead of a large-scale performance, you are now fully capable of composing your own music. In fact, composing music is not as complicated as you think, especially the pop songs that you young people like, all you need are some basic music theory knowledge. For example, harmony, composition, polyphony, and orchestration are also recognized as the four contents that must be mastered in order to learn composition. And all of this is covered in the textbook I've given you. ”
"The other thing is that you need a good sense of musicality and intonation, for example, if you have an idea, hum a melody, you can record it immediately. And you already have all these qualities! So all you need to pay attention to is to grasp the style of the song, the ideas you want to express, and some essential inspiration. You can invite Ye Siying to work with you, and it is easy for two people to exchange creative inspiration more. Of course, the first time you compose, it is inevitable that due to the problem of experience, there may be some flaws in the orchestration or chords, so you can come to me when the time comes, and I will help you check it. As for the lyrics, you can only figure it out by yourself, I can't help you, old man! Professor Wang finally concluded.
"Thank you, Professor Wang!" Chen Chufan thanked him sincerely.
It seems that Chen Chufan has not gained anything from coming to Professor Wang for advice this time. But that's not the case. Because he gained confidence in Professor Wang's undisguised affirmation. Perhaps this is more pleasing to him than some trivial instructions. What's more, Professor Wang also took the initiative to promise that he would help him revise the music he composed, which would save him many detours.
So when he walked out of Professor Wang's office, Chen Chufan's mood was very happy. can be affirmed by professionals, Chen Chufan should also feel happy.
"Where are you going now?" Ye Siying asked Chen Chufan, who was full of spring breeze.
"Why don't we go to the music class now and start our creation?" Chen Chufan was full of confidence at this time, and of course he wanted to start his creative journey immediately.
"It's your creation, not ours!" Ye Siying said lightly, seeing Chen Chufan's happy appearance, Ye Siying's mood was a little inexplicably low, she didn't know why she had such an emotion? Is it because his first song wasn't made for himself? Thinking of this, Ye Siying couldn't help blushing a little, she didn't seem to have such an idea!
"Mr. Wang said that if we create together, the inspiration can be richer! So of course we're going to come along, you wouldn't want to help me, would you? The happy Chen Chufan didn't notice the girl's low mood, and still said with a happy face.
In the end, Ye Siying still accompanied Chen Chufan to the familiar music classroom. Then, the game of staring and staring for a long time began.
After being silent for a long time, Chen Chufan said with some annoyance: "What about inspiration? Where did all our inspiration go? Why haven't you come yet? ”
Ye Siying glanced at Chen Chufan angrily, she found out for the first time that this big boy still had such a lazy side. "What do you think is the inspiration? Wild grass on the side of the road, a handful of grabbing? Isn't it a sudden realization, or an inspiration through external objects, can you have it if you want to? That inspiration is too worthless! ”
After Ye Siying finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Chen Chufan, but walked to the piano and sat down in front of the familiar piano, thinking of the lingering feelings in her heart, she couldn't help but be a little stupid. Then some faint mournful tunes began to echo in the large classroom.
"It's such a poignant melody, but unfortunately it's only a small part, but it can be recorded, maybe you can use it!" When Ye Siying finished playing a short melody casually, Chen Chufan took out a pen and paper and quickly recorded it.
