Chapter 145: A New Realm
A burst of flavorful kneading came out of the flute in Liu Yufan's hand, and compared with just now, it was obvious that Liu Yufan's kneading sound was much better this time. Although it is not exactly the same as what Madi just blows, it is already seven or eight points like it.
"Well, yes, yes, I realized it quickly. It's your breath, and it's a little stiff. Ma Di said, the whole person stood up, held the flute in his hand, and demonstrated the posture of playing to Liu Yufan.
"When I teach my students, I always emphasize that no matter how you blow it, relaxation and naturalness are the most important things. The posture you had just now was too rigid and not flexible at all. Remember, when playing the flute, remove any uncomfortable movements. Don't look at what is written in those flute textbooks, what arm is propped up at a 45-degree angle, and what lower lip should cover the blow hole at 60 degrees, if you want me to talk about it, it is pure nonsense! Madi said, waving the flute in his hand.
Listening to Ma Di's words, Ma Huaiyuan, who was on the side, was also a little crying and laughing. This nephew has been like this since he was a child, especially "deviant", and he disdains many classic theories in the flute world, but he wants to follow his own methods. Because of this, many traditional masters of the flute world do not agree with his things. Until now, he has made a little reputation, but there are still a considerable number of people who disagree with his flute skills, saying that his performance is "out of order".
However, in all fairness, Ma Huaiyuan still feels that many of Ma Di's opinions about Dizi are correct. In any case, listening to his flute, the sound is relaxed, natural, and transparent, and even I am sometimes unintentionally influenced by him, and it is indeed very comfortable to play the flute according to his theory.
Seeing Liu Yufan's somewhat surprised appearance, Ma Di continued to talk without care.
"Everybody's lips are thin and thick, can you ask for it at a fixed angle? There are also people who divide what spitting sounds into internal spitting, external spitting, and what fragmented spitting, why do they make it so complicated? Vomit as much as you feel comfortable, and vomit as you want to sound good. Madi said, looking very disdainful.
Hearing such a theory, Liu Yufan was surprised. When Ma Huaiyuan was teaching him the flute before, although he had also emphasized naturalness and relaxation, it was not as thorough and profound as Ma Di said, listening to his words, Liu Yufan felt that his understanding of the flute had reached a new level!
Next, Ma Di used a few simple and practical tips to demonstrate to Liu Yufan what is the sound of relaxation, and also put forward three "most" concepts, that is, "the most natural, the most relaxed, the most vibrating", listening to these nine words, Liu Yufan felt that some of the shackles that had plagued him before seemed to be opened all at once. Faintly, he felt a new window open in front of him.
Under Ma Di's demonstration, Liu Yufan, who originally had a good foundation, quickly mastered the skills of relaxation. I really don't know if I don't learn, I was shocked when I learned, it turned out that Liu Yufan still felt that his flute had mastered to a very high level, and the success of "On the Moon" also further increased his confidence. It was seen that Ma Di and after listening to his guidance, Liu Yufan understood where his gap was. Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about relaxation and controlling the breath, after Liu Yufan did what he asked, he immediately felt that the sound he blew was different from before. And he has a sense of mastery of the sound of the flute, and it seems that he can control the sound of the flute as he wants, and let it come out according to his heart. That feeling is very mysterious, it seems to come all at once, but when I get excited, I quietly slip away.
Liu Yufan was not in a hurry, after learning the piano, he already knew that this was a sign of a breakthrough. As long as you calm down and insist on practicing seriously, one day you will completely master this mysterious feeling, and at that time, your skills will naturally break through one layer, and you can't be in a hurry.
Looking at Liu Yufan's performance, Ma Di also nodded slightly. Although this child's current skills are not very high, it is rare that he has a very good sense of music, and he can understand it at all. He finally understood why Ma Huaiyuan looked smug when he talked about this student to him. This is indeed a good seedling.
At noon, he simply had a meal at Ma Huaiyuan's house, Liu Yufan cooked it himself, and called Mo Yan down. Several people are engaged in music, and they have a lot of common topics together. Liu Yufan listened to their conversations, and sometimes he was deeply inspired and benefited a lot.
In the afternoon, Liu Yufan did not continue to bother Ma Di, after all, people came here to spend the summer. After following Mo Yan to the hospital to see the second uncle's injury, Liu Yufan felt a lot more relieved. With the help of crutches, he was already able to simply get out of bed and walk slowly. I believe that in more than ten days, I will be able to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate.
In the next few days, Liu Yufan stayed at Mo Yan's house, and in his spare time from practicing, he went downstairs to find Ma Di to teach the flute. This rare opportunity, Liu Yufan does not want to miss.
Ma Di obviously admired Liu Yufan's surname very much, guided him very seriously, and explained his famous works to Liu Yufan in detail, which made Liu Yufan very enjoyable.
Of course, Liu Yufan did not "learn art" from Ma Di in vain, in the past few days, Liu Yufan took him to travel all over the large and small scenic spots in the rivers and seas, so that Ma Di, a Xi'an person, had a good taste of the style of the coastal city. Ma Di is very satisfied with Liu Yufan's "sensible", and he is even more dedicated to guiding him.
During this period, Liu Yufan also mentioned his ideas about new folk music to him. Fortunately, Ma Di is also an open-minded person, after listening to Liu Yufan's bold ideas, he agreed very much, and listened to Liu Yufan's "On the Moon", and also appreciated it, encouraging him to make a good effort in this regard, and strive to make more people like the flute through this new form.
He didn't expect that a master performer like Ma Di would be so supportive of his seemingly "nonsense" idea, which strengthened his confidence in engaging in pop folk music!
The start of school is getting closer and closer, and Han Xuefei will return to Shenyang Conservatory of Music to continue her studies immediately. A few days before leaving school, Liu Yufan finally settled on a music studio called "Midi" in the city to record the demo of "On the Moon".
Jianghai is a small city, and the artistic atmosphere is not strong, and it is rare to find a music studio like this kind of professional level. It's this one, or Liu Yufan ran half of the river and sea to find it. And Da Fei, the owner of this "midi" music studio, is also a part-time job. His usual main occupation is to be a musician tutor, as for this thing, it is purely a hobby, he threw hundreds of thousands of dollars into it, and now he regrets it, and he can't get a few jobs all year round, if he didn't still have the dream of being a musician, I'm afraid he would have sold this set of equipment long ago.
However, after listening to Liu Yufan and Han Xuefei's performance of "On the Moon", Da Fei was taken aback. At first, when he heard that the two of them were doing pop folk music, he was a little unimpressed, and his heart was a whimsical guy. But when he heard Han Xuefei's first zither sound in his listening ears, he realized that he was wrong. This is definitely not an improvisation to play the ticket surname, this music is so charming, and it definitely has the potential to be popular!
And when he heard Liu Yufan's flute, he even suspected that something was wrong with his ears!
Such a nice sound, is it really made by a bamboo flute? You know, Da Fei used to play keyboards, and he only felt for Western musical instruments, and as for national musical instruments, he has always been not very cold, especially the flute, Da Fei felt that the sound emitted by the play was simply dry, dry and loud, and there was no beauty at all. However, listening to Liu Yufan's flute suddenly made him change his opinion of the flute.
That wisp of flute sound, like smoke and dream, is full of charm, and listening to it has an inexhaustible aftertaste. So much so that when the two of them finished recording the demo, he immediately reversed the tape and re-enjoyed it several times.
It's no wonder that this adapted "On the Moon" was already very successful, and during this period of time, under the guidance of Ma Di, Liu Yufan's flute skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and the performance is a grade higher than the previous performances, both in terms of sound and verve, and it is naturally even more extraordinary. Moreover, the acoustics in the recording studio are also better than in the scene.
Feeling the beauty of this song, Da Fei even helped them do the post-processing for free, and the demo after production was more perfect, and they could even directly fill the record!
"Guys, can I keep a copy? It's so good, I want to take it home and listen to it again. After recording the demo, Da Fei said sincerely.
Wang Baocheng shrugged, pointed to Liu Yufan beside him and said, "Dude, ask him, he is the owner of this song." ”
"Yo, you wrote this song." Da Fei looked at Liu Yufan with some surprise, as if he couldn't believe it. Because of the three people in front of him, he looks the youngest. With him, can he write such a beautiful music as "On the Moon"?
However, seeing that the other two people all had an expression of "listening to him", Da Fei also had to accept this fact.
"Yes, it's okay if you want to keep a copy, but make a statement, you can only listen to it at home, and you are not allowed to rip and circulate, we have a contract." Liu Yufan raised a contract in Yang's hand, which was signed when he entered the recording studio before. Originally, he didn't know that it could be like this, but Wang Baocheng reminded him. This guy has been in the capital for a few years, and he has also entered a lot of recording studios, and he still has a deep awareness of copyright.
"Of course, that's what I'm doing, can I still not know? It's really a great song of yours, if it does come out on CD one day, I will definitely buy a genuine disc to support you. Da Fei said with a smile.
After learning about the things here, Liu Yufan's life was finally idle. The tour is over, the demo of "On the Moon" is also finished, and the piano that I have studied with Mr. Mo Yan for nearly three years has finally come to an end, and a busy holiday is over.
And Liu Yufan is also about to usher in his high school life.
