Chapter 23 Huhai Music Exhibition
For Liu Jie's request, Ye Gui naturally agreed without hesitation, although he was counting on music to make money, but for the older generation of musicians like Liu Jie, Ye Gui really couldn't bear to refuse this most simple request.
Besides, Lu Haoming has agreed to teach, and it is naturally not a problem to have another teacher for him.
Ye Gui smiled bitterly in his heart, not long after he was reborn, he didn't make a lot of money, and the students received a lot, first Lu Haoming, a guitar boy, and then he met Cheng Jun, who seemed to be born rich but had a very cheerful personality, which would add Liu Jie, and taught three people to be three age groups.
It seems that I am still very popular with people of all ages.
Liu Jie was a little embarrassed to see Ye Gui agreeing so readily, but he really couldn't resist the temptation of this fingering, for this person who has played music for half his life, the tail fingering is like an invincible martial arts cheats for a person in the martial arts, especially this martial arts cheats book is still the kind that doesn't need to swing a knife, and there are no side effects at all.
Liu Jie thought for a while and said solemnly: "Xiao Ye, don't worry, I won't teach others after I learn it, but I will use it when I create it myself." ”
Ye Gui looked at Liu Jie, and said for a while: "Brother Liu, good music needs to be shared, if someone wants to learn it, you can teach it at ease, maybe you can be regarded as promoting it for me in disguise, after all, I still have a lot of tunes that use this fingering, maybe there will be more people waiting for this kind of fingering in the future, and I will benefit from it." ”
Liu Jie was shocked when he heard it: "Have you written a lot of this kind of music?" This question appeared in Liu Jie's heart just now, after all, he saw that Ye Gui had already used this kind of fingering very skillfully in this song before, so Liu Jie doubted whether Ye Gui had written other tunes, but Liu Jie, who was going to learn such a powerful playing technique when they met for the first time, was a little embarrassed for a while, so he didn't ask.
Lu Haoming nodded affirmatively at this time: "Yes, the song Ye Gui played for me last time was different from this one, and it felt more difficult than this one." ”
"Harder?" The fingering just now was already the ultimate in his understanding, and Liu Jie really couldn't imagine how to play it to play a more difficult tune.
Ye Gui directly played a short section of the previous song "landscape", and then explained: "The fingering of this piece has changed slightly, and it is indeed more difficult to play, but everything remains the same, and the essential idea is still the same." ”
Liu Jie listened to this piece of music played by Ye Gui, touched his chin and lowered his head in contemplation, after a while he sighed, and then said in a somewhat vicissitudes of tone: "It seems that the saying that one generation is stronger than the generation is not false at all, we have not touched the guitar at your age, I didn't expect that your attainment of the guitar at a young age is not weaker than those conservatory teachers I have seen in big cities, if you only talk about this magical fingering, it is the only one in China, it is really amazing." Zhao Liang, we're getting old. ”
Liu Jie was shocked by Ye Gui, and sighed to his old friend Zhao Liang, who has also played music for many years.
After drumming for a moment and not hearing a reply, everyone suddenly reacted, patronizing and talking in front, why didn't they notice that Zhao Liang hadn't moved for a long time, so they turned back to look at Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang's eyes widened, he looked at Ye Gui excitedly, and suddenly said, "Do you think there is a possibility that anyone else will know this fingering?" ”
Ye Gui thought about it, it is now 97 years, although there are many prototypes of fingerstyle techniques abroad, but there should be a lot of distance from this fingering, so he replied: "There may be people who know some of these techniques, but no one can use this fingering now." ”
Zhao Liang got a positive answer, smiled, and then asked Liu Jie: "Lao Liu, you are an expert in this area, what do you think of the song that Xiao Ye played just now." ”
Lu Haoming listened to the change in Zhao Liang's name for Ye Gui, and smiled secretly in his heart, although Zhao Liang also teaches music, he is worthy of being a person who mixes in school, and the personality of his teacher Liu Jie is completely different.
Liu Jie didn't think about it so much, briefly recalled, and then said: "Although this piece is not as strict as classical guitar music, and even a little fancy, I have to admit that the rhythm of the whole piece is still very strong, a bit like those songs in classical music that focus on showing off skills, and overall it is still good." ”
"So you like it a lot, huh?" Zhao Liang asked, then looked at the few people around him who didn't know why, and finally his eyes stayed on Ye Gui, and asked seriously: "Xiao Ye, have you ever thought about recording these songs into an album?" ”
Ye Gui was stunned when he heard this, and then fell into deep thought, unlike Zhao Liang who heard his amazing guitar tunes, Ye Gui, who remembered many singing songs, had long thought about whether to record his tunes and release them into an album, but then he thought of a few questions Ye Gui had to give up.
First of all, as a newcomer, even if Ye Gui makes an album with a bunch of good songs, without coordinated publicity and sales, his album may not only not sell well, but may even lose money when he first comes up, in this era without the Internet, the mainstream media is the main publicity channel for entertainment practitioners, and newcomers who do not have the attention of the mainstream media only rely on the word-of-mouth of a few people, and when the real album is on fire, Ye Gui doesn't know how old he has to wait.
Secondly, even if the album came up with all kinds of coincidences, it was discovered by countless people, and then it sold well, but there must be a premise for this, that is, first of all, you have to have an album, and the recording equipment of this era is not as good as that of later generations, so if you want to make the best effect, you must definitely use the best conditions of the current era, so the cost of wanting an album will definitely not be small.
And even if Ye Gui lowers his standards and uses very general conditions to record those classic songs in later generations, on the one hand, whether these songs will still be as popular as the original has to be said separately; On the other hand, hehe, even if it is a recording under general conditions, Ye Gui can't come up with that money.
Although Ye Gui himself was also very anxious, as a high school student with no connections and no resources, he really couldn't think of how to succeed quickly except to go to a Western restaurant bar to find a part-time job with a high salary.
So Ye Gui listened to Zhao Liang's question and replied helplessly: "I have thought about recording, but first, I don't have the funds to record now." Ye Gui paused, he saw that Zhao Liang was playing the idea of recording an album, but there was a question I don't know if Zhao Liang had thought about it, and added: "Moreover, even if I record these guitar tunes, will the current public accept them, I can't just record and play." ”
Zhao Liang listened to Ye Gui's analysis, glanced at it a little surprised, and then said with a smile: "Who said that the album you recorded must be sold in China?" ”
Ye Gui's heart moved when he heard this, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Teacher Zhao, what do you mean?" "If Zhao Liang has other channels to sell the album elsewhere, it is indeed more likely that the album will be a hit.
"In a few months, there will be an international music exhibition in Shanghai, and many domestic musicians, as well as many foreign music manufacturers and musicians who want to open up the market, will come here." Zhao Liang waited for Ye Gui to ask a question, and immediately explained to everyone: "Your music may sound boring to most people's ears, but it must be regarded as a treasure in the eyes of those people, especially if you can play it live at the music exhibition in person, not only will your album not be sold, but even Xiao Ye yourself may become a rookie in the acoustic guitar industry." ”
Ye Gui secretly said that this is really unintentional, thinking about how to sell the song for so many days, but he didn't get anything except for a chance to compete, no, maybe a chance to get a competition, but this was originally a fingerstyle that he happened to practice because of his interest back then, but at this time, it became Ye Gui's hope for fame.
Lu Haoming suddenly realized when he heard this, the teacher is really a teacher, why didn't he think that Ye Gui's fingering was still useful before. Hey, if Ye Gui becomes a rookie in the guitar industry and gets promoted and raised to the pinnacle of life, wouldn't he be the open-door disciple of the man who stood at the peak?
"Hey, hey, Mr. Zhao is worthy of being a person who has been in a big city, and it's different from what we think." Lu Haoming thought about his way of hugging his thighs, complimented him first, and then glanced at Ye Gui, Master, how do you see how I behaved.
Ye Gui secretly said that you are useless in throwing flattery at me, do you think that the music exhibition is where you want to go.
The key question still has to be asked by yourself, Ye Gui asked bluntly: "Teacher Zhao, do you know anyone in Lezhan?" ”
Unlike concerts, music festivals, concerts and other activities, the main body of the music exhibition is a variety of musical instruments, in fact, the music exhibition itself is carried out by various manufacturers in order to promote their own musical instruments, but with musical instruments, people who use these instruments are indispensable, so large-scale music exhibitions are indispensable to the skilled cattle in the field of various musical instruments.
If you only look at the technology, with Ye Gui's guitar skills that are currently beyond the current world for many years, it is enough to be qualified to participate as a guest, but the key problem is that it is not enough to only look at the technology, this is not an exhibition of those main girls in later generations, and the people invited to come are good-looking.
If you are not well-known in the industry, it is rare for companies participating in music exhibitions to invite you as a guest. In other words, going around and around, the problem is back to the starting point, in this era of fame at an early age, if you want to get a position, you still have to be famous.
But there is one exception to this, and that is that as long as you know people, everything is fine.
Teacher Zhao looked at Ye Gui who was looking forward to it with satisfaction, and said lightly: "I was studying in Shanghai and Haihai, and now there are many students who stay there to work, and many of them are engaged in related industries. ”
Ye Gui listened to Zhao Liang's affirmative answer, first happy in his heart, and then slowly calmed down, Zhao Liang is the teacher in charge of the orchestra, as his superior, it would be good if he didn't ask him, how could he help himself so much for no reason.
"Mr. Zhao, can you help me contact Lezhan?" So Ye Gui asked very cooperatively, quietly waiting for Zhao Liang's next words.
