Chapter Seventy-One: Acting is about people, and acting is about people
After Cui Jianyu's confession, Ye Gui's life entered a busy state again.
Sometimes I rarely see An Yan a few times a week, and whenever I meet Cui Jianyu and Tang Wenjia at school, Ye Gui will think about whether he helped Cui Jianyu confess at this time.
Ye Gui was originally worried about whether his help would change Cui Jianyu's original trajectory and affect his learning, but once after school at noon, Ye Gui happened to go to the third floor and saw Cui Jianyu still brushing the questions before relieving his heart.
Cui Jianyu deserves to be the best developed of the three people that year, even if the environment has changed, his personality has not changed, and the days with Tang Wenjia every day have not made Cui Jianyu scattered, but Cui Jianyu has become more serious because he wants to go to a place with Tang Wenjia in the college entrance examination. 、
There is no problem with seeing his good friend Cui Jianyu, and the development is as smooth as the original, Ye Gui gave the only excess energy to Liao Zhichen and Jing Xiandong.
Xiao Zhizhi has been very motivated to study recently, especially after the second mock exam score improved to the middle of the class, Liao Zhichen seems to have finally found a sense of existence in school, so he will come to ask Ye Gui some questions every day after class.
Of course, Ye Gui hopes that Xiao Zhizhi can get a good score in the exam, so except for the questions that he can't stop on the spot, the rest of the time is basically a question and answer.
Although the relationship between Jing Xiandong and Ye Gui is not as iron as Liao Zhichen, they are at the same table after all, and Ye Gui sees that Jing Xiandong is actually very honest, and he usually studies very hard, but he has been unable to do so, so his grades have not improved.
Therefore, when Ye Gui took care of Liao Zhichen after class, he would also say a few more words about Jing Xiandong's problems, which would not take a lot of time, and would allow Jing Xiandong to gain something.
Of course, this move was appreciated by Jing Xiandong, but this kid was not very good at talking and never expressed it, but Ye Gui could see that the attitude of this big man at the table towards himself had indeed risen from ordinary to a new height.
Seeing that the affairs of his classmates had settled down, and the time was about to come to May, Ye Gui decided to put a final touch on what he had done recently.
The first is the Long Provincial Singing Competition, the final of which is scheduled for early June, just two days after the college entrance examination.
This time the competition has become larger than the scale of the previous life, so the provincial radio and television has increased its efforts in publicity, but it has also delayed the time, and the original plan has been moved from the end of May to the beginning of June.
However, the change in this time has made it convenient for Ye Gui, and if he competes before the college entrance examination, it will inevitably affect the state that Ye Gui has accumulated for the exam.
At this critical moment, Ye Gui can still distinguish the urgency of the matter, and finally this month focuses on the college entrance examination.
And he and An Yan have already agreed that An Yan will prepare well, take the college entrance examination first, and then not go abroad, Ye Gui will go to talk to Li Sujing when the time comes.
An Yan didn't want Ye Gui to talk to his mother directly, but seeing Ye Gui's serious attitude, he let go of his insistence, and finally let Ye Gui go.
However, Ye Gui could see that the girl did not have special expectations for herself in her heart, so every time the two met briefly during this time, she could feel that the girl seemed to regard this meeting as the last.
Ye Gui wanted to persuade the girl, but he couldn't come up with any particularly convincing statements, so in the end, he could only look at the girl who was in the school with infinite scenery every time she was with her, and Ye Gui could only turn her depression into greater motivation.
The girl's matter can only be talked about after the college entrance examination, and there is one more thing as well.
That is his vocal teacher Guo Baowei.
On the weekend of the first week of May, Ye Gui took a bus to the gate of Yunding Community in Jincheng.
This community is where Guo Baowei lives, and Ye Gui came today to attend the last class in recent times.
Since Joanna introduced Guo Baowei to herself as a vocal teacher, Ye Gui has spent one afternoon a week in class, and now it has been more than a month.
Because considering the reason why he had to concentrate on preparing for the exam in the next month, although Ye Gui felt that he had only learned a little bit from Guo Baowei here, he could only suspend the matter of taking classes first.
Although this is a bit regrettable, there is no way.
Ye Gui thought that if he had time after the college entrance examination, he would come to Guo Bao to take classes here.
After all, Ye Gui's progress this month was there, and what made Ye Gui feel even more fruitful was not his improvement in the use of breath, but Guo Baowei's teaching him this technique while also mentioning a lot of systematic things.
This makes Ye Gui, who is on a wild path in singing, have some meaning of opening a new world door.
"Wow..."
Ye Gui came to the door of Guo Baowei's house and knocked on the door three times.
"You're here..."
After a while, the door opened, and it was opened by a young girl in a black dress.
That person was none other than Fan Xiaofan, who was also Guo Bao's student.
Of course, people have studied with Guo Baowei for many years, and Ye Gui has to admire his singing skills.
Ye Gui smiled, and then said, "Are you done with your class?" ”
Guo Baowei has all small classes here, and in the past two years, he has only taught three or four students such as Wu Yuan and Fan Xiaofan, and Ye Gui's class was added temporarily, ranking behind Fan Xiaofan.
Originally, according to Guo Baowei's habit, there should be a break after teaching a student, but now he can only attend classes in a row.
This situation was also learned by Ye Gui after taking a few classes, so after knowing that Guo Baowei was so difficult to arrange the course here, he was even more interested in the person who could make Guo Baowei accept him as a student.
It's a pity that she asked Joanna once before, but she didn't say it, Ye Gui didn't want to mention this topic when she saw that Joanna didn't want to mention it, so she didn't ask again.
But curiosity has always been held back in my heart.
Following Fan Xiaofan into the door, Guo Baowei was drinking a glass of warm water.
Ye Gui nodded politely to Guo Baowei, and then said, "Teacher Guo is good." ”
Guo Baowei is a man in his sixties, although he is older, he may be the reason for his many years of exposure to music, he still looks very energetic, and his appearance may be similar to that of a normal person in his fifties.
"How's it been this week, are there any problems?"
Guo Baowei knew Ye Gui's situation, so he never wasted time with him, and directly entered the usual class rules of the two people.
Every time you come to class, ask the questions you had asked from the previous week's practice, and then teach the new content after answering and correcting them, which is Guo Baowei's teaching method.
This link is indispensable for Guo Bao for all students in class, so even if Ye Gui is only a student in a few classes, he can't skip it.
Perhaps this detail is also the reason why Guo Baowei can teach so many young outstanding vocal talents.
On the way of literature and art, there are many preachers and few people who solve doubts.
The teachers in the vast cultural palace only teach the basic repertoire when teaching students, but they do not explain the students' confusion about music in the study of music, so that there are many people who can't play chords in piano grade 10 and violin grade 10 but can't even remember key signatures.
Every time Guo Baowei asked this question, Ye Gui would say a lot about the difficulties that had arisen during the previous week's practice.
However, this time Ye Gui thought about it but shook his head and said, "There is nothing I don't understand this week. ”
Ye Gui said this not because he already understood everything in vocal music, but because Guo Baowei only taught the practice and application skills of breath according to Ye Gui's situation when Guo Baowei was teaching Ye Gui.
Now that more than a month has passed, Ye Gui has long been familiar with the key points, and now he can continue to practice according to this method.
Guo Baowei didn't feel strange after listening to Ye Gui's answer, speaking of which, he, the No. 1 vocal teacher in Long Province, if he can't teach students how to practice for a month, what kind of face does he have.
Before that, Guo Baowei already knew that this was the last class Ye Gui took here, so he said: "Today is the last class you came, count you have also come seven or eight times, speaking of which, I have already taught you all the things that can improve your level the fastest, and the rest that has not been taught to you needs to be sharpened." ”
Although he accepted himself because of the relationship entrusted by others, Guo Baowei really had nothing to say when he was teaching, he was serious and unselfish, and sometimes he said something casually because of his years of experience, which benefited Ye Gui a lot.
Ye Gui has always been respectful to those who pass on knowledge, and Guo Baowei, as the best vocal music teacher in Long Province, is even more worthy of Ye Gui's sincere gratitude.
"Yes, Mr. Guo, although it is a little regrettable, I still have to focus on the college entrance examination, so I can't study with you for a long time." Ye Gui took Guo Baowei's words with regret.
Guo Baowei just smiled very indifferently, the teacher who teaches literature and art is different from the teacher in the school, the teacher in the school has taken a student for six years at most, but if a child learns musical instruments and vocal music and other things, it is basically more than ten years of hard work to learn.
After teaching a lot and seeing a lot, Guo Baowei naturally wouldn't feel anything sad because of Ye Gui, a student who had taken a few classes, of course, Guo Baowei also felt a little pity in his heart, because Ye Gui was indeed quite talented, and sometimes some of the things he said could even cause him to think.
It's just that this kid learned vocal music too late, otherwise his vocal skills may surpass Wu Yuan's.
But it's a pity, individuals have their own personal paths, Guo Baowei drank a sip and said slowly: "It's natural to have time to go to the water mill for singing, but it's also the same way to practice simple things, after all, the voice is ever-changing, relying on qi, and relying on shock, if you can persevere, you will slowly improve in the future." ”
After Guo Baowei finished speaking, when he saw Ye Gui echoing, he suddenly became interested and said, "You have also studied with me for a while, since there is no problem today, then I will test you?" ”
Ye Gui asked, "How to take the test?" ”
Guo Baowei thought for a while and said, "Do you remember the first time you came to me, and I said eight words to you?" ”
"The sound is transmitted by air, and the song is born from the heart." These eight words can be said to be the general outline of the Guo sect's mental method, and everything that Guo Bao taught to Ye Gui was based on this, of course Ye Gui would not forget it, and immediately answered.
Guo Baowei said: "Okay, since you still remember, then my topic will come out, you are a student with skills, and after you came to me, I only handed you the first four words of the eight words, and the last four words 'song from the heart' have not taught you, I know that you are very talented in writing songs, so I will sing the melody you wrote today." ”
Ye Gui didn't expect Guo Baowei to ask this question, thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the case, although Guo Aowei emphasized these eight words in so many lessons, he has been teaching the first four words The use of breath and skills have never been mentioned.
Of course, there are reasons why time does not allow for this.
Now that Guo Baowei finally mentioned this issue in the last class, there are quite a few ancient disciples who want to leave the school, and the master's last test for the disciple.
Ye Gui was a little nervous, although he knew that even if he didn't sing well, Guo Baowei would not let him out of the teacher, but he always didn't want to disappoint the teacher in charge.
Looking down and thinking about it, Ye Gui suddenly remembered a song, and the time written in the song was very in line with Guo Bao's habits of living for this generation of old musicians, so he said: "Teacher, then I'll sing a song "Once Upon a Time". ”
Guo Baowei felt very interesting to hear this name, the name of the song was actually the name of the first word, and he had more expectations for Ye Gui in his heart, so he nodded and said: "I have only heard Xiao Fan and Xiao Yuan say that the song you wrote is very good, this will listen to your song title It seems to be a bit interesting, I have to listen to it." ”
Ye Gui even said, how dare you, wait for Guo Baowei and Fan Xiaofan to sit down before sitting in front of the piano used to practice sound in the room.
The prelude of "Once Upon a Time" is very slow and light, and Ye Gui seems to really pop up the feeling of people's lives in the past.
……
I remember when I was a teenager earlier
Everyone is sincere
Say a word is a sentence
Early morning train station
The long street is dark and devoid of pedestrians
A small shop selling soy milk is steaming
…
The lyrics of this song were written by Mr. Mu Xin, and later composed by modern musicians, and it was well received in the circle of a few people in the early days, and it was a music program that made him popular in the end.
At that time, this song was praised by the judges, especially the sense of simplicity implied in the lyrics, which made people yearn for it.
…
The old days have slowed down
Carriages and horses are slow to mail
There is only enough to love one person in a lifetime
The old lock is beautiful, too
The keys are beautifully presented
If you lock it up, people will understand
……
This song is not high, but Ye Gui has a feeling of full breath when he sings this song, which is one of his gains this month.
In the past, I only knew that the breath should be shallow when singing soft songs, but after Guo Baowei studied here, I realized that it was not the breath that should be shallow and light.
You can also sing soft songs with a very full breath.
Well, the rest of the things are self-evident, when singing this song, it is the singing heart that needs to be shallow and light.
After singing the song, Ye Gui looked at Guo Baowei gratefully, and only then did he really understand the teacher's deep meaning, the purpose of this test was to teach Ye Gui a truth.
He didn't understand this truth when he sang in KTV in his previous life, he didn't understand it after listening to so much classic music, he didn't understand it when he recorded in this life, and he didn't understand it when he participated in the competition.
This will be in front of Guo Baowei, but he understands because of nervousness and reluctance.
In the past, Ye Gui could only sing the feelings he understood, such as the nostalgia in "Butterfly" and the sadness in "Moonlight".
When singing this song, because of Guo Baowei's special test, he forgot the original feeling of this song when he sang it, and when Ye Gui was trying to think about the feeling of this song, he unexpectedly sang a more real feeling.
Ye Gui only realized at this moment that singing a good song is like acting in a good show.
When acting, it is impossible for actors to experience the experiences and lives of all the characters, and naturally there are no emotions experienced by those characters, but they use side by side thinking and pondering to figure out all the details, and finally express a distinct character, the key is to ponder the feelings in the play.
The so-called acting is to play people, actors must play hearts, and the same is true for singing.
