"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Zhou You didn't expect Chang Shan to treasure his works, especially the works under the name of Lotus!

Of course, the most talked about is music.

"Nowadays, among these domestic music masters, I think there are few people who can compare with you in the use of national musical instruments!"

Ouch, this praise is high, Zhou You hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" ”

Traveling around here, I naturally talked about a lot of Changshan's works.

Most of these works are in textbooks, but Chang Shan has not published many works because of his age over the years, but ...... People in the circle know that Changshan has been working hard for the promotion and inheritance of national musical instruments, so he respects him very much.

When the confrontation between the two sides ended, Tsuneyama asked about the music he had heard earlier.

Zhou You smiled and invited the old man to the basement.

The basement is large in size, but it has been carved out for musical instruments.

Naturally, it has also been classified, there are national musical instruments, and there are also Western musical instruments.

As a musician, this place is like a treasure trove, so after Chang Shan and Chang Xiaoxiao came in, their eyes instantly lit up.

"The erhu of Baoshan, the flute of green bamboo, the guzheng of Zhaoyun Mountain......"

They are all well-known brands, and the maintenance is very good, but ...... Most of them are new, and for Changshan, who has held a guqin for hundreds of years or even thousands of years, this music room is just a wide variety.

But......

"All new instruments?"

Zhou You nodded: "Actually, I like musical instruments, but ...... There's no way to collect it! ”

He was born in the conservatory of music, and Zhou You also likes national musical instruments, and he drooled at a thousand-year-old guqin on the Internet earlier, but he also knows that no one will sell this level of antiques for how much money you pay.

Because this kind of musical instrument is either in a museum or is in a private collection, and the collection of ordinary musical instruments is basically regarded as a treasure by musicians, unless the family is in the middle of the road, otherwise it is impossible to sell it!

Zhou You doesn't have any collections, but Chang Shan is different, he can be called an antique in his hands, at least a guqin, a dong flute, and a dulcimer, all of which are treasures that have left a name in history.

"How much do you know about these?"

Chang Shan looked at it, secretly frightened that there are many kinds of musical instruments, there are many musical instruments in his music room, in fact, it is mainly a collection, and he must not know everything, of course, Changshan erhu, guqin, dong flute, guzheng and other popular musical instruments he has a good time.

Zhou You smiled and said, "Most of them know a little!" Zhou You said, took a suona and blew it: "The song that Mr. Chang heard before is actually the pure music I used for the third part of "A Chinese Ghost Story"!" ”

Chang Shan suddenly said: "I see! As he spoke, he looked at his granddaughter and said with a smile, "How is it?" ”

Chang Xiaoxiao said: "Yes, but ...... After all, national musical instruments have limitations, take the soundtrack made by Mr. Zhou as an example, the use of erhu, suona, guzheng and so on, most of them appear in costume dramas, among them, the most representative is the piano and flute ensemble in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", I like this piece very much! ”

Zhou You raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think these national musical instruments can only be used in costume dramas?" ”

Chang Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "No, I just think it performs well in costume dramas, as for modern dramas...... The expression of Western musical instruments in general is a little better! Chang Xiaoxiao said, pointed to the erhu on the side, and said: "Take the erhu as an example, its limitations are too great, and it can still be used in costume dramas, but ...... Have you ever seen a few modern pop songs that use erhu? ”

In fact, in today's pop music, the erhu is basically replaced by the violin, after all, compared with the erhu, the violin has a softer and more beautiful timbre.

Chang Shan is a little unhappy, but he can't refute his granddaughter's words, the pop music on the market today is basically moving closer to electronic synthesis, and most of the elements are pianos, guitars, drums, etc., of course, it is not that there are no national musical instruments involved, in fact, there is also a circle in China, called the ancient style circle, or it can be said that it is the national style circle, this kind of music mostly uses national musical instruments!

】

Pity......

This circle is too small after all, and the songs that were oversold some time ago turned out to be plagiarized, which made this circle even more shameful.

Instead, Zhou You picked up the erhu and smiled: "Actually...... Musical instruments, aside from culture, are a tool, and since they are tools, whether they are good or not, and how to use them, still depends on the person who uses it! ”

"In addition to the third part of "A Chinese Ghost Story", there is also a new drama "Heavenly Love", after so many years, in fact, the films of Recall Point basically have costume dramas, oh, except for one "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", it is precisely because they are all costume dramas, so the soundtrack must be a little classical, which also leads many people to think that these national instruments are antiques and do not match pop music!"

"This "Heavenly Love" is about ......"

Zhou You briefly described the plot of "Heavenly Love" and explained what type of film this is.

Then he said: "It just so happens that this "Heavenly Love" is almost finished, and it is about to enter post-production, let me prepare the soundtrack, I just wrote a song for this play, and it is ......"

Zhou You patted the erhu: "It just so happens that the main tone is the erhu!" ”

Chang Xiaoxiao sighed, came to be interested, and seeing that Zhou You began to prepare, Chang Shan's grandson also found a chair and sat down.

This piece is one of Zhou You's favorite songs, and it has been made long ago, so ...... When Zhou You picked up the erhu, there was actually an accompaniment.

When the accompaniment sounded, I didn't feel anything, I just ...... When the sound of the erhu appeared, Chang Xiaoxiao was a little stunned.

At the beginning of the song, it is actually an electronic synthesized sound, which is very common in many pop songs!

But......

The erhu that suddenly appeared behind the pip synthesized sound seemed to set the tone of the song all at once.

And traveling around is not simply playing, but playing and singing at the same time!

This song "The Days We Walked Together" is actually not the soundtrack in "Heavenly Love", but ...... Zhou You thinks this song is very suitable for being placed in "Heavenly Love"!

The encounter is always caught off guard, and the parting is always planned for a long time!

The light in Chang Xiaoxiao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she heard the sound of the erhu, the saxophone, and even the sound of the drums in this song, not a drum kit, but a big drum in Huaxia!

Erhu has a wide vocal range, soft timbre, extremely expressive and national characteristics, bringing people a sad feeling!

And the saxophone has a beautiful timbre, which can perfectly express romantic feelings, with a little ambiguity!

The ensemble of these two instruments, which are not very different, can be so evocative!

And Zhou You also told the general plot of this play!

One is the illegitimate son of a dancer, the other is a rich man's daughter, this asymmetry itself has fallen the seeds for the tragedy, and because of this, the sadness of the erhu makes people's scalp tingle.

Finally, the song ended, Chang Shan took the lead in applauding, and looked at Zhou You with some excitement: "I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect the erhu to play such a role in pop music! ”

Zhou You smiled, in fact, the erhu suona is indeed rare in pop music, but this is not to say that national instruments cannot appear in pop music, just like the brass of Western music, and it is impossible to appear in pop music often, because it does not match at all, you can't say that Western instruments are not suitable for pop music!

Zhou You listened to Chang Shan's words, and said with a smile: "In fact, instruments such as the erhu guzheng are still the most suitable for appearing in national style music, and now popular music is popular, but after all, when a hundred flowers bloom, the national style market may not grow!" ”

Every era has its own products, just like someone said, fashion is a circle, and the so-called pop music, in fact, does not just refer to a certain type of music, hip-hop pop, then hip-hop is pop music, rock pop, then rock is pop music!

And different types of music, the soul instrument is naturally different, just like the soul of a folk song is the guitar!

The communication with Zhou You, Chang Shan was obviously very happy, as if he had met a confidant, or was it a ...... I saw the legacy.

Zhou You's status in the music world is very high, and now he likes national musical instruments very much, so Chang Shan is not afraid that after he leaves, the promotion of national musical instruments will be sluggish or even reduced, because of this, Chang Shan suddenly felt much more relaxed, and his words were not so heavy.

"Tsk, how do you know so many musical instruments at your age!"

Erhu, guqin, guzheng, suona, flute, flute...... He actually knew all the national instruments in the entire music room, and he was so wide that even Chang Shan, who had lived for 80 years, was shocked, after all, ...... Although he knows a lot of musical instruments, he ...... He spent almost a lifetime!

"Maybe it's all in one place!"

Zhou You said shamelessly.

Chang Shan was secretly speechless, but Chang Xiaoxiao said: "What about these musical instruments? ”

She refers to the piano, guitar, violin, and other musical instruments, after all, there are not only national instruments when traveling here, but also Western instruments that can be called on the market!

"These will too?"

"Almost!"

Chang Xiaoxiao was silent, almost?

Zhou You said the same thing before, he can almost only play one or two songs for the exam with a certain instrument, but he really can.

It's just that......

So much?

Chang Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but say: "Since Mr. Zhou is making the soundtrack for the film that he recalls, I don't know if he is interested in making the soundtrack for foreign films!" ”

Zhou You sighed and looked at Chang Xiaoxiao.

Chang Xiaoxiao also hurriedly introduced his own situation.

"Actually, the soundtrack of this drama is not difficult, because I don't want much, and the investment is relatively small, so I can take it, otherwise I am really not qualified!"

Chang Xiaoxiao didn't hide it, after all, she had only debuted for two or three years, although she was a little talented, but ...... Good Dock talented people grab a handful!

"The plot of this play, the male protagonist fell in love with a beautiful princess who could never be together when he was a teenager, and after the confession failed, he ran away and wandered, but the days outside did not make him forget this relationship, but missed her more and more...... In fact, it is similar to "Heavenly Love", and ...... It's also a tragedy, but it's ...... There are restrictions on musical instruments, preferably piano or violin! ”

The director has a picture in his head, and he probably knows what music is needed here, and even what instruments are needed, so there are musical instrument restrictions.

Traveling silently, this story ...... Isn't that the classic piano piece?

"Dream Wedding", in fact, it is more accurate to translate as "Lover's Wedding", this piece is very classic, classic to the world's famous, but at the same time, this piece is also very simple, so simple that almost every beginner can play it with a little effort!

But......

The simpler the piece, the harder it is to play a different flavor!

Because the most difficult point of this kind of music is not in the playing technique, it is not as showy as "Wild Bee Flying", its main difficulty lies in the grasp of the rhythm.

The whole piece can basically be divided into four sections, the first section is the prelude, the second section is the low tide, the third section is the transition, and the fourth section is the climax!

Each section has a different feeling, sometimes warm as the wind, sometimes soft as water, and this feeling is the manifestation of strength control!

Take it a step further, and that's emotional investment!

Chang Xiaoxiao saw that Zhou You was silent, so he said: "Don't be so anxious, at least there will be two more months!" ”

Zhou You came back to his senses and smiled: "It won't take that long, in fact, ...... in the first part of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", there is a song "A Laugh in the Sea" I don't know if you have heard it!" ”

Chang Xiaoxiao thought about it, but before he could speak, Chang Shan said: "I've heard it, that tune...... It's really wonderful, and it perfectly explains the ...... of 'great happiness and ease' said in "Le Zhi"

Obviously, Chang Shan likes this song very much, otherwise he wouldn't have danced when he talked about it.

Zhou You smiled, walked to the piano, and then sat down: "Actually, I am usually bored to pass the time, that is, improvisation, what I want to play, if it is good, write it down, last year, I played a paragraph, I felt that it came, I wrote it down, and then it was perfected little by little, to be honest, if you didn't tell this story, I really had to forget!" ”

When Chang Xiaoxiao heard this, his expression was a little weird!

Use improvisation to pass the time......

It seems to be normal.,It's like some school bullies.,Like to do Sudoku or rolls.,The scumbags think it's torture.,But for the school guys.,It's about a boring means to pass the time!

Chang Xiaoxiao was also interested, and then quietly, I heard Zhou You start playing!

In fact, the first few notes are really handy, and what follows is a kind of jumping cheerfulness, as well as ...... A surging sorrow!

Yes, sorrow!

Although this play is also a tragedy, it ...... According to the director's assumption, this song should be placed at the wedding, since it is a wedding, it must not be sad, so the jump of the continuous shot can actually be heard cheerful!

But......

This wedding is the fantasy of the male protagonist after his death, he imagines beautiful things in his fantasy, but the imagination is illusory after all, and there is a time to wake up, so it ...... It sounds cheerful, but in fact, there is a surging sadness hidden in the joy!

And this music made Chang Xiaoxiao, who had pondered the plot a lot and many times, and even thought about it when he was eating and sleeping, and instantly entered the play.

In the illusion, she seems to see the sadness and regret in the eyes of the male protagonist before he falls!

Finally, a tear unconsciously crawled out of my eyes and rolled down!
