Chapter 237: This Uninteresting Life
Fifth Jade sat down beside the piano with a serious face, her arms gently raised, like a real piano master, and gently placed her slender fingers on the keys under Taeyeon's expectant gaze.
"That...... It's been a long time, don't laugh at me if you play it wrong! Suddenly, Fifth Jade withdrew her arm and turned to Taeyeon.
"......" Taeyeon was shaken, but still chuckled and said, "It's okay." ”
The arm was raised slightly, and the fingers were about to press the keys, and the fifth jade stopped again.
"What's wrong again?" Taeyeon asked a little speechlessly, standing in front of the camera and listening all the time, she is also very hard!
I saw Fifth Jade scratching her hair, and said with some embarrassment: "This song is not the kind of warm and romantic. ”
"It's okay! Never mind! Taeyeon waved her hand impatiently, and the mood she had been expecting was lost by the fifth jade.
Finally, this time the fifth jade did not hesitate any longer, the first note floated in the air, and then, the keys began to rise and fall with the slender fingers of the fifth jade, and a series of bright melodies suddenly took shape.
Taeyeon, who was already a little impatient, opened her eyes wide at this time. Out of her love for music, Taeyeon was first attracted by the beautiful melody, and then the performance of Fifth Jade on the piano keys.
I saw the fifth jade staring at the keys with a focused expression, her fingers flying on them all the time, the rhythmic music wafting in the room, and outside the window, there was an endless sea. The whole picture is like a fairy tale, and for a while, Taeyeon is a little crazy.
In fact. It's not that the main theme alone is so difficult to play, on the contrary. Since there are many repetitive passages in the melody, most people who have practiced the piano for a few years can play them!
But the point is that this song has been processed in REMIX. That is, remixing! The so-called mixing refers to the addition of various other elements to the original main theme of the song. For example, vocals, ambients, or drum beats. Even, it's not surprising to include the melody of another song in one tune. Provided, of course, that there is no melodic conflict. After all, this is an artistic expression, not a fool's errand.
Just like a symphony, various instruments work together to form a piece that gives people more shock. It's the same with REMIX. It's not about what elements are added, it's about how they can blend together in the music to create a new experience.
So, it looks like it's just a tune, but it's actually mixed in with so many other elements. Having a person actually play it is like having a pianist play a symphony, which is completely fantastical!
After playing the main theme a few times, the fifth jade finally found the familiar feeling before. Turning his head to look at Taeyeon, he saw Taeyeon with a blank expression. The corners of Fifth Jade's mouth couldn't help but put a hint of a smile on her mouth.
However, at the same time, the fifth jade, who was originally only going to play the main melody, suddenly wanted to play another version. That is the so-called simplified version. As for the full version, as I said before, all human beings with normal physiological structures. It's impossible to play it alone.
As a result, Taeyeon, who was immersed in the music, suddenly noticed that there was something suddenly in the original melody. When she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but look at the fifth jade. Puzzled, he thought:
"Could it be that I made a mistake?"
Thinking so, more and more other notes were mixed in with the melody. Taeyeon, who was originally going to remind the fifth jade, just opened her mouth but was stunned. Because, she found that these extra notes gradually formed another melody. What's more, this melody can also blend perfectly with the original main theme!
Taeyeon's mouth opened wide, even Hyun-hyun couldn't do it at this level! However, at this time, the fifth jade has no time to pay attention to Taeyeon's reaction. The fingers were beating rapidly on the keys, if the fingers of the fifth jade were dancing on the keys before, and the whole movement was like flowing water, then at this time it was a violent storm, and he couldn't even see the action of pressing the keys clearly!
At this time, the entire production team was also stunned, originally when the fifth jade first started playing, these people in the program team didn't care much. After all, only those who are familiar with the fifth jade know that Lu Dao was still a layman who couldn't even read the simple score before. As an artist, there are really not many people who really have any attainments in piano, but there are not a few people who can only make one or two tunes like the fifth jade said.
But as Fifth Jade began to play the simplified version, the feeling it brought to the production team was suddenly different! Even a complete layman, looking at the phantom hand speed of the fifth jade, should understand the difficulty of this song!
What's more, this piece is made by professionals, and the elements in it are not simply added to increase the difficulty, and its musicality is also very strong, and with each other, the shock is also very strong!
But that's not all, this simplified version of the Fifth Jade was already able to do it a few years ago, and now that it is played again, the Fifth Jade suddenly has a new idea.
"Perhaps, we can go further!"
Thinking like this, there was a crisp percussion sound in the already extremely intense melody, and then, gradually, more and more crisp percussion sounds, accurately embellished on the rhythm point. Those who don't know this aspect may feel like nothing, but it sounds like a thunderclap to Taeyeon's ears! You must know that the two melodies mixed together in front of you are not played by one hand, and the keys reflected in the keys are also intertwined.
The fifth jade, who was playing in the climax, was suddenly interrupted by a falling sound, and the music came to an abrupt end, leaving everyone stunned. Then he woke up from the shocking music and looked fixedly, only to see that VJ, who was in charge of filming the performance of the fifth jade, was tightly guarding the camera at this time, and sat down on the floor in embarrassment.
Seeing everyone's eyes, the VJ said nervously, "That...... Suddenly a little seasick. ”
Fifth Jade just smiled faintly when she heard this, got up and pulled the VJ up, and said, "It's okay, then go back to the room and rest." ”
VJ glanced at Minami PD and saw him nod before handing the camera to the others, and then quickly left the hall.
In fact, although the VJ is telling the truth, the reason is not so simple. Originally, he was in charge of filming the performance of the fifth jade, so he only needed to put the camera there. But when Fifth Jade began to play, his fingers sliding like dances on the keys caught his attention. However, as the song progressed, the movements of the fifth jade finger became faster and faster! Gradually, VJ's gaze began to be a little unable to keep up with the speed of the fifth jade, and after staring at one place for a long time, VJ even had the illusion of seeing a phantom. Plus now it's really at sea, so ...... So he became seasick.
Due to this unexpected event, filming could only be temporarily suspended. After a VJ was replaced, filming was able to continue.
"OPPA, you really couldn't play the piano before?" Taeyeon asked incredulously.
"Actually, not now." Fifth Jade shrugged and then added, "Except for this one." ”
"But you can play such a difficult tune, and the rest is not difficult!" Taeyeon asked suspiciously.
"That...... You know, I can only read the simple score now, I can't read the stave, do you think I can play the piano? Fifth Jade scratched her head and said with some embarrassment. After all, in front of women, especially the women they like, who doesn't want to behave perfectly!
"And how did you play it?" Taeyeon asked, confused, this is not an easy tune.
"Memorize the keys!"
“……”
"Ahh That's right! Fifth Jade suddenly exclaimed, and then ran to the production team in Taeyeon's surprised gaze and asked the staff for a cigarette. Then, he trotted to the piano again, poked his cigarette on the strings for a long time, and then raised his head, looked at Taeyeon and said disappointedly:
"Can't you do it at this level......
"......" Taeyeon was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and said with a smile: "OPPA, you don't want to learn "The Pianist of the Sea", do you?" ”
"yes, what's wrong? I think it's so handsome! Fifth Jade asked suspiciously, I had watched the movie "The Pianist at Sea" before, and Fifth Jade had a deep memory of the scene where he lit a cigarette with strings after fighting the piano.
"That's a movie!" Taeyeon sighed speechlessly, then explained, "OPPA, don't you know the structure of the piano? With that, Taeyeon came to the piano, pressed a key casually, and continued:
"Connected to the keys is the hammer, which strikes the strings to make a sound. OPPA, there's a layer of felt wrapped around the hammer! If the strings do reach the temperature of a cigarette, the hammer will burn out long before you finish playing! ”
"......" Fifth Jade listened to Taeyeon's explanation blankly, as if she was petrified for a while. Half a ring, he put down the cigarette in his hand and walked to the window to look at the sea.
"OPPA, what's wrong with you?" Taeyeon asked strangely when she saw Fifth Jade's reaction.
"Suddenly I felt ...... Life is so boring! ”
Taeyeon: "......" (to be continued......)
