Chapter 61: A Nursery Rhyme

The songs chosen by Gu Che are simple, but they are not simple.

Zhou Fan got the lyrics and music score first, and his first reaction was simple, and then he looked at the lyrics, and his second reaction was still very simple.

But how to put it, the songs that seem to be simple are the hardest.

The more unpretentious, the more touching it is.

"Why do I think this lyrics are a bit tongue-twisting?" Zhou Fan stared at the lyrics and music score for a while, brainstorming in his mind, but still didn't get any essence of this song.

He gave up.

From Gu Che, he had never guessed once!

Big guy, worthy of being a big guy!

Gu Che reminded him: "This is a Cantonese nursery rhyme. โ€

Zhou Fanxian suddenly said: "It turned out to be Cantonese, why did I say that the lyrics were a little tongue-twisting, but it made sense in Cantonese." Nursery rhyme? Are you mistaken, it's a ballad? โ€

Gu Che shook his head, smiled but did not speak.

The corners of Zhou Fanxian's mouth twitched slightly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart: "Children, nursery rhymes? This is...... Nursery rhyme? โ€

The next recording is a bit magical.

The song is not complicated, the rhythm is catchy, the lyrics describe rural life in the last century, and the melody is very simple.

It only took an hour for Gu Che to record.

Zhou Fanxian wanted to make some suggestions, but he didn't know where to start.

Children's songs, as long as the feelings are sincere and you can hear the taste of life, it's fine.

It may seem difficult to do, but when you think that many nursery rhymes are recorded by children, you know that it is not difficult.

It can be said that the recording of children's songs is the most unlimited, and you can sing it any way.

Different voices sing and have different tastes.

The melody used in this song is also very simple, Zhou Fanxian only needs to do some simple mixing, which is not at all like the previous songs, which take a lot of effort.

Seeing that Gu Che had recorded a good song and was about to leave after whistling and copying a good sample, Zhou Fanxian suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

He can do it all by himself, won't it seem like I'm useless?

The mixing of this song is so simple, any mixer can do it, and it seems that I am so incompetent.

Zhou Fanxian twitched his brain and grabbed Gu Che's arm, "Wait, there is still room for perfection in this song!" โ€

Gu Che was stunned, "Where?" โ€

He recalled that this ballad was very popular, so he was quite impressed in his dreams.

And because it's a nursery rhyme, the melody and tune won't be very complicated, and there won't be much background music.

This song sings more about the simple and unpretentious emotions of people's life in the countryside at that time.

The more simple things are, the less bells and whistles they have.

Just like ethnic minorities singing mountain songs, people carry bamboo baskets on their backs to sing duets in the mountains, and the first sentence of their mouth is very feeling.

What about their soundtrack?

It is a joy of beautiful mountains and rivers, mixed with the echoes of nature, and wherever you go, you will have your own natural gas field.

Zhou Fanxian's mind turned back and forth, but in reality, it was only a short moment.

He said calmly: "Background music, the background music of this song is too simple. โ€

Gu Che frowned, and just as he was about to speak, Zhou Fan took the lead and said: "I know, nursery rhymes, nursery rhymes, often don't make the background music very complicated, too complicated, the purity is missing." But your song is about farming in the countryside, so I think you should collect more breath of life. โ€

"The breath of life?" Gu Che asked.

Zhou Fanxian didn't know what he was talking about, anyway, just follow this sentence.

"Yes, the breath of life, farming, let's go to the countryside and collect some gunpowder firewood." Zhou Fan said first.

"There was also the sound of the wind blowing through the straw, the sound of people walking around the land with their burdens, the sound of cows mooing as they grazed their cattle...... I think you can record it well, dig it up, and put it into the song to make it more real. โ€

The more he said, the more Zhou Fanxian believed in himself.

Yes, he had this idea from the beginning, not out of nowhere!

Gu Che has always listened to the advice of professionals, and responded without saying a word: "Okay." โ€

After speaking, he also deliberately glanced at Zhou Fan Xian a few times and praised: "It's really professional, I didn't expect it when I thought of it all of a sudden." โ€

Zhou Fan smiled reluctantly, turned his head while Gu Che was not paying attention, and wiped the sweat that inadvertently appeared on his forehead.

Want to hug your thighs, he's professional!

Without further ado, Gu Che immediately visited the countryside.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Fanxian also followed, and deliberately put down the work at hand and followed, saying that he was a mixer, and it would be better to record those sounds.

As for influencing work?

No, no, no, he has always taken everything seriously and carefully, and he is idle now anyway.

If it weren't for Gu Che's "accidental" discovery that Zhou Fanxian had to answer several phone calls a day, and the verbal conversation was full of various professional terms, he would have really believed what Zhou Fanxian said and was not busy at all.

Gu Che walked on the wheat field in the countryside, secretly thinking: Next time, let's find Zhou Fan to record a few more songs first.

When people send them to the door, he will calmly accept them and then reciprocate.

ยท

Gu Che was busy with his own business, and the others were also busy with their own business.

In just three days, he and Zhou Fan went to the countryside first, walked through every street and alley in the countryside, and played with children.

The child is not afraid of the camera at all, and deliberately gestures to the camera, showing liveliness and activity.

Hearing that they were going to record the sound, the children enthusiastically said that they could go to their house to record the sound of cooking, washing vegetables, and carrying water.

In the end, Gu Che had a whimsical idea and found a grandmother and a group of children who sang professionally in the countryside, and wanted to record another version, which was more inclined to the original version in the earth.

Zhou Fanxian was even more thoughtful, in addition to the two versions that Gu Che wanted, he planned to fuse the two versions together to make a third hybrid version!

Going around and around, they had only planned to stay in the countryside for three days, but in the end, it took a week to collect the sounds.

Among them, they couldn't help but take pictures of some rural landscapes, especially the simple smiles on the faces of rural people, which can always make people feel how beautiful life is.

They lived in a wonderful time.

A week later, Gu Che and Zhou Fan returned from the countryside and returned to the city.

It was also at this time that in the Cantonese opera troupe, the master handed over the script to Kong Ping.

When Kong Ping took the script, his head was lowered, and he didn't dare to look at it, as if he was holding a thousand catties in his hand.

Although this script was not created by a master, it is also a rare script in recent years that a master has also participated in the adaptation, which is of great significance.

The master has not made a move for many years, and every time he participates in the adaptation, he is counting down to his career.

No one knows if this will be the master's last adaptation.

When Kong Ping was about to leave, the master suddenly said: "This script is very good, Xiao Che has done a good job, and you guys are also very good." โ€

Kong Ping's eyes were moist, and he said in a low voice: "Master, we will work hard." โ€

Ding Taiqi said lightly: "The little girl in the Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe thinks too much, but her enthusiasm for Cantonese opera is real, this stage can cooperate with her, but don't entangle with her too much in the future." โ€

He looked at Kong Ping, his voice was very soft, with a deep sense of relief: "You have graduated from the school, and you have gone through a lot of experience, it's time to form a personal team." โ€

Kong Ping took a deep breath, felt a thousand times in his heart, and bowed deeply to the master: "Yes!" โ€
