Chapter 14: Singing with Internal Strength
Wang Daojun is a professor of classical music appreciation at a well-known conservatory of music, and has long been committed to collecting classical music scores and reproducing the original appearance of Chinese classical music. When people read catchy classical poems, most people don't think of them as ancient pop songs. In ancient times, transportation conditions were limited, and popular poems were able to be widely circulated, and even to this day because these poems were popular music at that time. What Wang Daojun is researching is to find ways to match these poems with appropriate scores and re-present them in front of the world.
After unremitting research, Wang Daojun has some achievements, such as the official dialect of the Song Dynasty is similar to the contemporary Hakka, so the Song words are sung in Hakka dialect is the original. For example, the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty should be similar to Hokkien, so Tang poems are catchy to read in Hokkien.
But what's the use of having these results? Wang Daojun is not a classical linguist after all, what he longs for most is to be able to get all the classical scores, so that he has the idea of returning to the Tang Dynasty after committing suicide.
When Wang Daojun saw the copy of Yang Liu's handwritten score, he immediately began to study the translation and put the contact person of the entertainment company aside. Wang Daojun, who was halfway through the study, suddenly came to his senses, grabbed the collar of the entertainment company's liaison, and loudly asked about the source of the score, as if the underworld boss was asking about the subordinates who dared to eat black and secretly hid his goods.
Without waiting for the contact person to react, Wang Daojun noticed his abruptness, and his tone softened and changed to a soft language, which finally made the contact person collapse, and poured out the one qiē fifteen ten he knew like a bean.
After getting the answer he wanted, Wang Daojun couldn't sit still, picked up his handbag and pulled the contact person and drove straight to the residence of Yang Liu's mother and daughter. After looking for someone, he went to the music center of the entertainment company, and finally met Yang Liu's mother and daughter.
Yang Liu's mother saw that Wang Daojun was a kind old professor with gray hair and a slender figure, she put her mind at ease and muttered in her heart, when did my Liu Liu provoke an old professor again.
"Yang Liu, where did you get these two poems and scores? They are very valuable for research and may be used to restore the original appearance of classical music. Also, classmate Yang Liu, how did you come up with the idea of using Hokkien dialect to interpret this "General Breaking Formation Song"? You must know that the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty is likely to be the predecessor of Hokkien dialect. And who you asked to play the guqin soundtrack, listening to the timbre and playing technique are quite different from modern guqin, it seems that classical music should be like this. Without too many greetings, Wang Daojun asked this string of questions, and Yang Liu was stunned all of a sudden. Secretly scolded himself for being too careless, how can it end now? Do you want to be like what is written in the novel, arranging a non-existent master to fool everyone?
As the saying goes, one lie is covered up with ten lies, and then you live in a lie for the rest of your life. I was still too high-profile, and I was in a situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger. In the end, Yang Liu's silver teeth bit and used the ultimate move, and the immortal showed the way.
The so-called immortal guidance is a small means for cultivators in the mobile phone world to deal with mortals, similar to the psychological suggestion on earth. In the minds of mortals, the path pointed out by the immortals, whether it is the path to a certain destination or the purpose of life, is unquestionable. Cultivators have always regarded themselves as immortals, and they have called this kind of small means immortal guidance.
In just a few words of explanation, Yang Liu convinced Wang Daojun that the beautiful little girl in front of him was a classical music genius, who could not only play the guqin, be proficient in music, but also compose poems and lyrics, and even perfectly interpret her works in Cantonese. In short, in Wang Daojun's heart, Yang Liu is a genius who was born to know, and all of her things are the result of her own efforts.
Before leaving, Wang Daojun spared no effort to recommend Yang Liu to the top management of the entertainment company, trying to persuade the company to make Yang Liu a classical music star. The classical music in Wang Daojun's mouth is different from the so-called Chinese style, which is completely accompanied by local musical instruments, and it is difficult to judge whether it is suitable for the public's taste, so the company's answer is to wait and see, Wang Daojun had no choice but to leave.
Soon the music producer Zuò completed the arrangement and soundtrack, but the entertainment company came out again, and a male star took a fancy to Yang Liu's "General Breaking Formation Song", and was actively lobbying the company to buy the copyright and sing it himself. The male star declared that the song was domineering and tragic, and it was completely unsuitable for women to sing.
The company handed over the task of purchasing the copyright of Yangliu songs to Liu Tao. After Liu Tao explained the ins and outs of the matter to Yang Liu's mother and daughter with a bitter face, he added: "There is a music producer who is full of praise for this piece after the arrangement is completed. He insisted that the song was created entirely for men and was not at all suitable for female singers. Because his qualifications are relatively old, and he has a first-line male singer, the company is not good at not giving them face, so let me come forward to discuss with you whether the copyright of this song can be sold to the company, and we will pay the highest price. ”
Yang Liu's mother was very angry, pointed at Liu Tao and reprimanded: "I have long known that there is no good person in your gang of people in the entertainment industry, who cried and shouted and begged our Liu Liu to join your entertainment company?" Now that the contract has been signed and the song has been given to you, I want to kick our willow away, there is no such cheap thing in the world. Liuliu, let's go, we don't sell as much as they give! ”
Yang Liu took her mother's hand, shook her head gently, and then asked Liu Tao: "What price is the company willing to pay for my song?" ”
Liu Tao replied: "150,000." ”
"I gave the musician and the singer three days. If they can record the song within three days, I don't want a penny. Otherwise I demand ten times as much compensation from them. You go and ask them if they agree to this condition, and if they do, we will sign the contract. After Yang Liu finished expressionlessly, he took his mother's hand and walked away.
Zhang Shikun is a first-line singer who debuted earlier. In the past two years, due to the downturn in the music market, many songwriters have either changed careers, or gone shirtless to the front of the stage, and it is difficult for A-list stars like Zhang Shikun to get suitable songs. Yesterday, I heard a friend from a music producer say that there was a song that was particularly suitable for him, and Zhang Shikun was tempted, so he mobilized all his connections to lobby the company's senior management to snatch this song. Liu Tao said that the negotiation situation was like this, and Zhang Shikun was a little numb. A powerful singer records a song, and if it is smooth, three days is enough, but if it is not smooth, ten days and eight days may not be enough. After discussing with music producers and friends for a long time, Zhang Shikun decided to use an afternoon to try it first and see how difficult the song was, anyway, the deadline given by Yang Liu was tomorrow morning.
The soundtrack of the arranged "General Breaking Formation" sounds extremely shocking, especially the killing atmosphere. As soon as Zhang Shikun opened his mouth to sing a sentence in the recording studio, he was stopped by the music producer.
"I'll build yì, you better listen to the sample of the willow first. You can sing better with your voice, but you have to sing that heroic emotion. "The music system zuò people build yì road.
sang like this, the two discussed and sang again and listened, and after tossing for an afternoon, Zhang Shikun's voice was almost dumb and he didn't succeed in recording. In the end, the music producer concluded: "It seems that I was wrong this time, except for Yang Liu, I think no one can sing this song well." After all, she is original. ”
Zhang Shikun asked unwillingly: "Why don't you find Lao Yao to discuss, he has more ghost ideas." "Zhang Shikun is not like a music producer who thinks completely from a technical point of view, and has not audited for a new song album for a long time, and now his sense of existence among fans is getting weaker and weaker, and he even has a tendency to fade out of the music scene. Now that the connections are almost used, and the price paid by the individual has also been paid, he is bound to win this song.
The music producer was a little unhappy to hear him say this, since you trust Lao Yao more, why did you come to me, so he said: "Since this is the case, then you can try Lao Yao again." However, I recommend that you discuss it with your agent first. ”
After dinner, Zhang Shikun and his agent invited Lao Yao to the recording studio. According to Lao Yao's bad idea, Zhang Shikun sang an octave completely in accordance with Yang Liu's style, and the result was not as good as the afternoon recording. This is really a tiger and not an anti-dog.
In the end, Zhang Shikun said to himself in a hoarse voice: "It's not good at all!" I think just give up! Hit all the time, don't force it. ”
The next day, Yang Liu recorded successfully in only half a day. She explained to Zhang Shikun, who came to ask for advice: "Do you know, in ancient times, women played the piano and sang music, and the so-called ninth-rate, people with status and status disdained it. Zhang Shikun nodded to be taught.
After Zhang Shikun left, Yang Liu said to his mother: "This guy is really easy to fool, and he is also a first-line star singer!" Mom, you know now, no one can sing this song without internal strength. It's a pity that our 1.5 million is wasted like this. ”
Mother Yang Liu nodded in agreement: "Yes, it would be nice if this guy was more impulsive." Liu Liu, let me ask you, is the internal force you said really so magical? Why can't my mother always practice? ”
Yang Liu thought for a while and explained: "You have seen the effect of internal qi, I can sing songs that he can't sing as a big man." I wish you and Dad could be as peerless as I am, but you seem to have missed the best age to practice martial arts. It's a pity! ”
After recording the song, Yang Liu's mother and daughter flew back to Longcheng non-stop and began to prepare for going abroad.
