Chapter 216: Audition
"Kangding Love Song" was originally a folk song produced in Kangding, Sichuan Province in the forties of the twentieth century, and the original author has always been very controversial, but the collection and sorting of the songs was completed by the late "Western Singer King" Wang Luobin. This song, with its beautiful tune and simple and affectionate lyrics, has spread throughout the country and is widely sung and loved by people.
Over the years, "Kangding Love Song" has been adapted into many vocal and instrumental versions, and there are also flute versions, which is nothing new.
But at this moment, this "Kangding Love Song" performed on the flute has brought a new feeling to the listeners in this room.
The moist flute sound, without any technical embellishment, nor any accompaniment, but the control of the breath has reached a very high level.
For a long time, the impression of the flute is sharp and warm, or the silk and bamboo of the south of the Yangtze River, low and moist, but there are many techniques such as giving sound, playing sound, and overlapping sound, which seems complicated. The sound of the flute here is completely different.
Smelling the sound of the flute, it seems to make people feel the green bamboo in the mountains, the natural, as if with the sound of early morning dewdrops, the flute, with a little straightforward, with a little freehand, so naturally appeared, as if the lungs of the human body were washed from the inside out.
"It's so comfortable!" After hearing only one beginning, several people present sighed in enjoyment.
Of course, the ability to achieve such an effect is not unrelated to the hundreds of thousands of speakers in this room, but the most fundamental thing is the change brought about by that unique performance technique.
Like a walk in the forest, like a fairy flying out of the sky, this flute sound, just like the flute sound in the previous "On the Moon" song, is so natural, just like the white painting in Chinese painting, natural, plain, but with infinite charm, with a sense of fairy.
"Knock knock!" The sudden sound of the drum hit the heart and made the listener feel like a spa viscera in an instant!
The majestic Chinese drum breaks through the air with a unique, stable and calm but with a hint of ancient mystery!
"It's a triplet of quarter notes!" Li Yi, who was born in a professional class, heard the mystery as soon as he heard the drum at first glance! He also graduated from the percussion department and has a very in-depth study of Chinese drums.
"Wonderful! This drum sound is vigorous and agitated, forming a strong contrast with the flute sound that has just flowed and moist, one is rigid and one is soft, but they are all so straight to the heart, such a wonderful combination, what a genius! Li Yi secretly praised in his heart, and his right hand couldn't help but hit his knee, tasting the rhythm, the more he listened, the more flavorful he became.
"This guy who plays the drums is definitely a master! Just listening to this skill, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it without decades of hard work! "Li Yi is an expert in percussion, and after only hearing a few sounds, he has a plan in his heart!
"Nice! It's been a long time since I've heard such pure Chinese-style lounge music, and it's rare to make it so atmospheric! Ji Yun also sighed in her heart. She is a "scout" of Rolling Stone who is responsible for discovering new works by newcomers, and whether a song has a market or potential, you will know when you listen to it. The song in front of her, although she had only just listened to the beginning, had already made her eyes light up.
It's not the first time Jiang Ya has heard this song, the shock has passed, but she still looks like she is enjoying it. Thinking that this piece was written by Yu Fan, her heart was full of pride and pride. She didn't misread anyone, Yufan is a genius!
Among them, the one who doesn't understand music the most is afraid that it is Li Xiaoling and Li Da reporters. I am fortunate to also appreciate Liu Yufan's new work, and her shock is no less than those in the industry. During this period of time, the folk music "On the Moon" has become her favorite thing to listen to in her spare time, although she has listened to it many times, she still feels very tasteful. Purely instrumental music has such characteristics, unlike songs, which are a little annoying after listening to them many times, but every time you listen to them, you can feel a different freshness.
In the sound of drums, the flute sound curls, like light smoke floating in the thickness, more like fairies dancing on the shoulders of a group of swarthy iron men, the contrast between power and beauty, people can't help but sigh! It was so comfortable!
Liu Yufan looked at the expressions of several people and made up his mind. Although he has high expectations for his work, he is actually quite bottomless without being evaluated by professionals. Now it seems that there is no problem, looking at the faces of a few people enjoying themselves, the "sales" of this song should not be a problem.
"Hehe, it seems that the market for popular folk music is really not small. This time, I can't let them comfortably take the tune away. Liu Yufan said secretly in his heart.
"Boom!" A sudden drum sound intercepted the music, and then, the two flutes echoed each other, like two shocks, and instantly swept down from the treble mi! The syncopated rhythm brings a strong sense of movement, and the combination of flute and drum like the dance of the soul has reached the most ** in an instant!
And then, the drum sound is endless, but the two flutes seem to dance a pas de deux, in a chorus posture, circling back and forth, although it is still the melody of "Kangding Love Song", but it is a little more than the original Luan Feng chorus taste, which makes people listen to it as if they are drunk and fascinated, and the shooting is amazing!
"Great!" When the whole song ended under the strong syncopated rhythm, Li Yi, who could hear it, couldn't help but beat the knots and praised it loudly.
However, when he looked at Liu Yufan next to him with a smiling expression on his face, he immediately realized that he had made a mistake.
Uh, well, the song is very good, but I came to buy the copyright, and I showed such a lot of interest in the song, didn't it just give the other party room to raise the price?
However, Li Yi, who has tasted it back, does not regret doing so. He has already made up his mind, this song, he will take it down no matter what! Not only for the benefit of the company, but also for his own love! Think about it, if such a classic piece is missed from his hands, even he won't forgive himself!
Ji Yun's heart was also shocked. To be honest, she also foresaw that this piece was likely to be excellent, after all, there was a precedent for "On the Moon" there, but when she really witnessed the magic and excitement of this piece, her breath couldn't help but rush a little!
It's true that Rolling Stone is a big company, but that doesn't mean that Rolling Stone can put a high profile on potential songs, they also need such works to continue to enhance the value of their company and create new benefits!
It's just that Ji Yun's experience is far richer than Li Yi's, and she knows that at this time, she must calm down and not show excessive concern, otherwise it will definitely be very unfavorable to the next negotiations.
However, Li Yi's performance has betrayed them together.
Thinking of Li Yi's exaggerated performance just now, Ji Yun couldn't help but be annoyed, glanced at Li Yi hatefully, and said in his heart: "This guy is too cityless!" The tune is good, but please don't have to be so exaggerated! ”
What she didn't know was that the expression on her face just now had betrayed her mood. Although she didn't show a gaffe like Li Yi, judging from her sharply undulating chest, she could also see that she was not calm at the moment.
Among them, the calmest one is the lawyer Huang Lan. Huang Lan is a friend of Jiang Ya and was invited by her to act as a lawyer for this negotiation. Compared with others, her psychological quality is the best, which is the first condition of a lawyer.
The expressions of several people were also in her view, looking at Liu Yufan's relaxed expression, she knew that the initiative in today's negotiation was already on her side.
"How about it, two, this is the "New Kangding Love Song" that I wrote and played myself, the combination of the flute and the Chinese drum, how does it feel?" Liu Yufan stood up and said to the two people.
"Very good, Yu Fan, I have to admit that in terms of understanding pop folk music, although you are young, you have your own unique set of perspectives, and this piece is very good." Li Yi said frankly. Since he has already behaved like that just now, it would be too fake to pretend that he is not interested in the song at this moment, his surname is not like this, and there is no need to be deliberately reluctant.
"It's a very good piece of music, I'm very interested." Ji Yun nodded lightly and smiled. Although the expression on her face was relaxed, she already had a plan in her heart. Even if she breaks through the bottom line of some companies, she will win this song, perhaps, this song is a stepping stone to bring her promotion opportunities.
"Since we're both interested, let's sit down and talk." Liu Yufan said with a smile, and then made an inviting gesture to the two of them.
The small reception room of the Yafan celebration was temporarily used as a negotiation room at this moment, Ji Yun and Li Yi entered the room with Liu Yufan, and the lawyer Huang Lan entered together.
Jiang Ya and Li Xiaoling have nothing to do with this negotiation, and there is no need to go to observe. Moreover, although Li Xiaoling and Li Yi are sisters and brothers, this kind of company business negotiation will inevitably involve some trade secrets, and it is inconvenient for her to listen to it.
In Jiang Ya's office, Li Xiaoling cut a petal of orange with a fruit knife and put it in her mouth, and said vaguely: "Yaya, that little lover of yours is also too powerful, not only does the music he writes beautiful, but he is also so sophisticated, and he can handle it too well just now." Hey, I said, you talk to him, go through the back door, this song is signed with my brother, after all, they are acquaintances, and they will definitely not let him suffer. Li Xiaoling said with a grin, and then handed over a petal of orange.
"I don't care, this song is his, who to sign him has the final say, don't look for me." Jiang Ya said and stuffed the orange into her mouth, but she didn't appreciate it at all.
"It's really a girl's appearance, and with a little lover, she forgot about me as a best friend, hey, sad." Li Xiaoling said with a look of self-pity and self-pity.
On the other side, Jiang Ya enjoyed the delicious orange flesh very happily, and then showed a very innocent smile to Li Xiaoling.
"Heavy color and light friends!" Seeing Jiang Ya pretending to be innocent, reporter Li Da glanced at her hatefully.
