Lyrics, although they are the main content of the song, are actually only a small part of the songwriting in terms of workload.

The biggest creative content of a song is always the arrangement.

Arrangement and composition are two different concepts, and for a pop song, the composer is actually only responsible for creating the tune of the lead vocal part.

The arrangement is the arrangement of the entire musical work, and the melody, combination, appearance time and so on of each instrument require far more energy than the songwriter.

Most arrangers also compose music, because as far as music is concerned, the human voice is originally a type of instrument.

But the lyrics, which are also the core content of a song, can be seen as the trunk of a tree, and the rest of the arrangement is the branches. If you draw a tree, the trunk is very simple, and you can do it with a few strokes, but the branches and vines are extremely laborious to draw.

However, the height of a tree is determined by the height of the trunk, so although the lyrics and songs are only a very small part of the workload, when it comes to a song, the lyrics are very important.

Ye Luo spent three minutes to complete the lyrics and music of the two songs. Although the creative process is a bit shocking, Ye Luo feels that everyone should be reluctantly acceptable, and he also believes that Ding Shaoyang and Han Guan have this ability, and they will not be dragged to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to solve the plan.

In this way, the trunk is already there, and the rest is a matter of branches.

In order for his students to have enough participation in the show, Ye Luo will not take care of these two songs, and he will leave the arrangement to the students, which was also agreed by several mentors at dinner last night.

However, in less than eight hours, it is very difficult for four students to snatch out the arrangement of the two songs. If you come in a hurry, the effect will not be good. So the instructors, at the same time, will guide them in arranging. When they're stuck, tap and mention the progress.

"Let's do it one by one, first this one. Sun. Ye Luo smiled slightly, "Guo Zhen, Zeng Xuezhen, the two of you are in charge of this song." Singer, I'll ask Rob to come, and you guys will do it. ”

"Hmm." Guo Zhen and Zeng Xuezhen nodded.

"The moon, Yiyi and Zhang Heng." Ye Luo assigned, "Okay, disband." ”

After assigning the task, the trainees hurried to each of the two studios. Start rushing.

Rock song, Ye Luo feels that he doesn't need to pay too much attention, because Guo Zhen does have a hand in writing rock and roll, and rock and roll doesn't pay so much attention to melody after all, with lyrics and songs to support it, the problem will not be too big.

Ye Luo came to Yu Yiyi's side first, sat next to Yu Yiyi, and watched her make arrangements.

"Who's going to sing this song?" Yu Yiyi asked.

"It's a tune made here. Come on Qin Shiyue. Ye Luo smiled, "And this kind of music." Qin Shiyue will be perfect to control. ”

"Hmm." Yu Yiyi nodded, "Then what instrument should I use for the prelude to this song?" ”

Ye Luo glanced at her and said, "Moonlight, quiet and serene, this artistic conception of musical instruments." Don't you have an idea of what you want? ”

Yu Yiyi stuck out her tongue: "Then a guitar and piano, and then add a row of sound trees, is it okay?" ”

"Yes." Ye Luo nodded.

"How's the mid-section Gasachs?" Yu Yiyi asked again.

"Do you want me to write the saxophone melody for you again?" Ye Luo asked rhetorically.

"Okay, okay!" Yu Yiyi was very happy.

Ye Luo rolled his eyes, stood up and left.

It seems that he can't be next to the students for the time being, otherwise they will become dependent on themselves.

Ye Luo looked at his watch. It was a little past ten o'clock in the morning, and there were still more than six hours, and it was still early. Ye Luo planned to ignore the students for the time being. Wait until two o'clock in the afternoon to check on their progress.

Ye Luo returned to the conference room, and Hu Jianing was also there.

It's still early for Hu Jianing to play, but he is not idle now, and is calling the musicians.

Arranging music is time-consuming, not just in terms of the time it takes to compose it, but also in terms of the time it takes to run the computer.

In formal arrangement, there is a very time-consuming process, that is, mastering output, which is to synthesize the very large single-track melody made by the software together, and convert it into a unified and smaller text.

This work, under the speed requirement of eight hours to produce the finished product, is impossible to do, it is too wasteful of time. So you have to ask the musicians to come over, listen directly to the monolody text, and record the instrumental part.

It stands to reason that the matter of contacting musicians should not be done now, and it should have been done yesterday, but the effect of this show is to reflect every detail of a song's production as truly as possible, so Hu Jianing is now contacting musicians.

Of course, the so-called connection, Hu Jianing was performed, in fact, he had already said hello, and the musicians of conventional instruments were actually in the dream building. And when Ye Luo's two songs are settled, no special instruments are used.

Ye Luo also has his own affairs, he has to contact the singer, this is not acting, because not long after getting the exam questions, Ye Luo can't decide the singer in advance.

At this moment, Luo Bu, Fang Yu, Lou Jun, Qin Shiyue, and the sisters all pushed off a qiē activity, and waited for Ye Luo's phone at home, on call.

Two phone calls, called Luo Bu and Qin Shiyue over, Ye Luo had nothing to do for the time being, and then watched Hu Jianing call one after another for a long time.

Lao Hu's acting skills are very exaggerated, and his voice is an octave higher than usual, as if he has been beaten with chicken blood, which makes Ye Luo feel very funny.

Finally waited for Hu Jianing to finish all the calls, Ye Luo was about to chat with him for a while, but Zhu Mei came in.

"Director Ye, are you free?" Zhu Mei asked.

"Yes." Ye Luo nodded.

"Oh, yes, while our show is live, our official Weibo and SMS platforms are interacting with the audience in a live broadcast. Many viewers are very curious about you and ask a lot of questions, our choreographer has picked a few, can you answer them? ”

"Okay." Ye Luo nodded.

Zhu Mei asked: "The first question, just now, the national TV audience saw that you wrote the lyrics and songs of two songs within three minutes, so some viewers asked, is it that all your songs are created at this speed?" ”

"No, no." Ye Luo smiled, "It can only be said that a very small part of the songs came from like this, and it may be in a better state today." ”

"I think even a small part of the song is enough to shock everyone." Zhu Mei smiled, "The second question, in fact, when you were writing the lyrics and songs just now, Director Ding downstairs was also writing, and he took a little longer than you." We know that Director Ding is in the music circle and has the reputation of the king of Beidi Douqu. The ability to produce music on the spot is one of the best masters in China.

Some viewers are curious, if you have this kind of live fight with Director Ding, who can win? ”

This question is not easy to answer, in fact, it is not good to say that anyone wins, Ye Luo thought about it for a while, and then said: "Every musician has their way of working, fast, not necessarily good." When we make music, we should not pursue fast, but strive for excellence.

Today, Director Ding and I both adopted the method of on-site composing, mainly because of the competition system. We have to do our best to get the lyrics and music out so that the students have more time to compose the music, which is just a stopgap measure, not a norm.

As for who will win the live fight between me and Director Ding, who has never compared, who knows? Let's just watch tonight's competition. ”

"That last question." Zhu Mei asked, "Today is the finals, if you win this again, it will be the seventh consecutive championship." Some viewers asked, does this mean that you are currently invincible in the domestic music circle? ”

"I've never felt how strong I am, let alone being invincible." Ye Luo straightened his expression and said slowly, "The results of the previous competitions, after all, were only the voting results of five hundred audiences, and they were not everyone's answers, let alone standards.

Several of our tutors are making music with their hearts.

I don't think we're doing this show to prove who is the strongest among our mentors. It's to let everyone see and hear that in China, there is such a group of people who are so obsessed with music that they will ignore the achievements they have made before, let alone care about their future honors and disgraces.

When we're making music wholeheartedly, I just hope that people don't compare us, but listen to us.

Thank you. (To be continued......)
