Chapter 447: The main contrast
"You were my age that year
Young like a young song
But in order to create that new world in the dream
You turn and hurry into the storm."
Gu Yi sings from the perspective of young people.
And Ni Hongchang, that is, Mr. Li, sings from another perspective.
"I see a thousand lovely you
Don't look back and run into the depths of the gunsmoke
How many youthful backs disappear into the night
In exchange for the dawn"
The two of them have been preparing for this song for a long time, so they instantly entered the state during the rehearsal.
"I look up at the starry sky you've seen
Meet again through a hundred years of time and space
That smile before you turn around
I know everything."
The two sang slowly, as if they were talking, and as if they were telling a story, and the dialogue between the two generations in the dislocation of time and space was enough to move people's hearts just because of the content.
And there are actually many versions of this song, the original version is a story about love sung by a singer, and the adapted version of 54 also has several versions, including a version sung by a lesser-known singer who has been forwarded by the People's Daily.
Although that version is also good, Gu Yi still thinks that this version of CCTV's lyrics is the best.
So he handed in this version, although he also experienced some ups and downs in the middle, and changed it more than a dozen times, but in the end he still used the first version.
After the first rehearsal of the two, all the staff applauded, the combination of their voices was too infectious, better than the version sung by Gu Yi alone, this is the sublimation of the song under the combination of scenes.
Every generation of people in that period of history is learning, and everyone remembers the sacrifices and sacrifices of the heroic martyrs.
"It's so good! The cooperation between the two teachers was perfect, and although it was only our first rehearsal, it was already fully up to the level of a formal performance. ”
At this time, Ni Hongchang handed the microphone in his hand to the staff, then looked at the director and said: "The director is polite, the main thing is that this song is so well written, when you found me, I looked at the score and lyrics and immediately decided to accept it, it is a great honor for me to sing such a song." ”
But after Gu Yi heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, no, a song mainly depends on who sings it, in fact, I have also recorded a version before, and I felt that I needed a baritone to cooperate, but after I really cooperated with Mr. Ni on the spot, I knew that the perfect form of this song turned out to be like this."
Just like the previous memorable tonight, I didn't feel that way myself, including singing with our band, but now it's the best version after giving it to those seniors. ”
Ni Hongchang smiled: "It's too modest, Xiao Gu, your talent is the best among the young people I know, although I rarely listen to pop songs, but I have actually heard many of your songs, and some of them are also very meaningful, just continue to maintain this momentum, and in another thirty or forty years, forty or fifty years, you are also an old artist in other people's mouths." ”
"Your teacher has won the prize."
Immediately afterwards, they sat down to watch other people's performances, each program was carefully choreographed, and after all, it was the May Fourth Gala, in addition to their singers, there were also many young people representing all walks of life on stage.
It's just that in terms of language programs, compared with the Spring Festival Gala and some other parties such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Lantern Festival, it is a little more serious.
Even the opera programs in the back are some newly written plays, and Gu Yi listened to them in the audience.
"You like to listen to theater too?"
After the opera performance, Ni Hongchang asked curiously.
"Yes, many things left by the ancestors are still good, even if hundreds of years have passed, but when I listen to it, I still feel very durable."
"Haha, now young people don't like to listen to these things, and people also prefer to listen to some pop songs, Xiao Gu said why didn't you learn music in the first place? Maybe if you studied music, I would have known you earlier. ”
"It's okay, Teacher Ni, don't we know each other now?"
"That's right, I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again in the future."
But at this moment, Gu Yi suddenly thought that he could indeed cooperate with the other party.
Some pop songs can actually be sung through bel canto, and a different style can also bring a new listening sensation to the song itself.
"By the way, Mr. Ni, we have a concert this year, so I want to ask you if you have time to be a guest at our concert when the time comes, because I suddenly had an idea in my mind, I want to write a song, and then do two versions, one is a popular version, and the other is the version you sing with bel canto."
"Concerts, I've never been to a concert, it's usually a condolence performance or a party by some units, and I don't know if I can sing well."
"That's definitely no problem, Mr. Ni, you must be a dimensionality reduction blow when you sing these songs, I also observed it just now, you can't hear ventilation at all when you sing, this is much better than me."
"Haha, I've also practiced it all year round, mainly singing bel canto all the time, so the overall breath is more vigorous, and we sing standing there and singing you, and we have to run around when we sing, it's definitely different."
After Ni Hongchang finished speaking, he thought about it: "If it were someone else, I guess I would push it, but I still admire you very much, so I'll look at the time when I go back, you can also send me the specific time, if it's okay, I'll go to your young people's place to play." ”
"Great, Mr. Ni, thank you for agreeing, it just so happens that we are going to report during this time, it is estimated that the performance will be about another month or two, I will send you the specific time when I go back, and I will also do the song in advance, and then post it on the platform, but I will make the pop version first, and then you will see if this song is suitable for you to sing."
"No problem, I trust your abilities."
After the first rehearsal, they went back separately, and Gu Yi went to the studio first to talk to everyone.
This time, they are going to hold a concert in Yanjing for three days, but the guests for these three days have not yet been found.
"Friends, now I have two candidates, the first is Mr. Ni Hongchang, whom I am working with today, and the other is Hazawa Natsumi, didn't I write a song for her before? When the time comes, she will sing that love cycle, she is not only very popular on the neon side, but also not bad in China. ”
Zhu Yanfang: "Damn, Gu Yi, your contacts are getting wider and wider now, and foreign singers can be invited over?" And Mr. Ni Hongchang's family is from the national team, can he be a guest at our concert? ”
"Yes, I've already said it on Teacher Ni's side, but Hanzawa Natsumi hasn't said it yet, I'll ask you when you go back and see if she has time."
Zhou Le nodded: "Okay, but if it's confirmed, we have to do it as soon as possible, and we will report the list in the next few days." ”
Gu Yi also knew that time was running out: "Then I'll ask tomorrow, but I have to go to rehearsal again tomorrow, and Zheng'an's company is responsible for stage construction and other things, and it's all over to you, anyway, this time our new theme still has to do something different." ”
"No problem, don't worry about your business, just leave it to us here, but after a while, we have to go to Chengdu to find an old man."
"It's okay, I'll just ask for leave when the time comes, anyway, it's easy for Brother Feng's crew to ask for leave, just say it."
"That's right, say hello to me when you get back."
However, Gu Yi has been filming outside for the past few months, and finally came back, so he was dragged by the studio to shoot a few jokes, which were also to be sent to their own video account at that time.
Tossed until 11 o'clock, Gu Yi fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Gu Yi went to the CCTV building to rehearse the show, but most of the time was waiting, and taking advantage of the gap, Gu Yi also told Ni Hongchang the specific time of the concert.
Ni Hongchang thought about it for a few days, so he agreed directly, as for the song, Gu Yi planned to go back tonight and start doing it.
In addition, he also contacted Natsumi Banzawa again.
"Huh? Next month, I probably won't have time for next month, because I still have a solo gig at that time, and it happens to be on those days. ”
Gu Yi sighed when he heard this.
"Well, in that case it won't work."
But Hanzawa Natsumi said again: "But I happen to be empty at the time of the Modu concert." ”
"It's okay to go to the magic capital, so can you come to our concert then? Just take a walk around our country's cities with Xiaoxue. ”
"Okay, I'll talk to the agent later, and let her arrange it for me."
"Great, then we will arrange the air ticket and hotel for you, and then all the expenses for your visit here will be handed over to us, and then I will give you the contact information of my agent, and then you can let your agent talk to him about the cost of the performance."
"No, I'm also honored to be able to perform in China, after all, this opportunity is rare, and I can be a guest for you for free at that time."
Gu Yi hesitated: "Is this good?" ”
"No problem, Xue-chan and I are friends, isn't it normal to help friends stand on the platform? If Gu Sang and Xue Chan really don't want to go, when I have a concert, you can also help me be guests. ”
"Okay, then contact in advance if you need to."
This time, Yanjing's concert failed to invite Natsumi Hanzawa, which means that Gu Yi has to find two more guests, but he thought about it again, does he have to sing the song Love Loop himself?
A bald head popped into his mind.
"Popular songs can be sung in bel canto singing, so why can't the love cycle be sung in the grassland folk singing method?"
Then he called Mr. Teng again.
"Hey, what is Mr. Teng busy with?"
"Gu Yi, I'm practicing with my friends in the band, and you haven't contacted me since the last time we met, and I want to invite you to come to us for a drink."
"Haha, isn't Mr. Teng filming recently? And I have to participate in the rehearsal of the party in the next few days, and I will definitely go to you for a drink after filming this drama, but I still want to ask you one thing when I call this time.
Didn't I tell you we were going to have a concert? Then I want to invite you to be a guest, I thought about it for a while, and I want to invite you to sing two more contrasting songs at our concert, but I don't know if you are willing to do so. ”
"There must be time, I'm idle now, and I drink every day except for playing music, but how contrasting can this contrast be?"
Then Gu Yi took out another mobile phone and came out, and put the love loop to the other party through the earpiece.
After hearing this, Mr. Teng fell silent on the spot.
After a long time, he said, "This is really a contrast, but can I sing such a sweet song?" And I didn't understand a word of the lyrics, is it Japanese or Korean? ”
"It's a Japanese song, some time ago when I went to Neon to film, I met a singer and worked with her."
"I don't know Japanese either."
"It's okay, as long as the pronunciation is about the same, but I'm just an idea, if you don't feel right here, you can sing something else, mainly we want to invite you over."
It's just that Tengger thought about it for a while after hearing it.
"It's not impossible, and it's fun to try new things, but how am I going to sing when the time comes?"
"You still sing according to your style, the main thing is a sense of contrast, and I also want to write another song to make two versions, one is the popular version, and the other is the version you sing."
"Okay, but I still have to learn this song, and I don't know Japanese at all."
Gu Yi thought for a while: "Otherwise, I'll directly let the original singer teach you." ”
"That's fine, then you give her my contact information later, or give me her contact information, and we'll get in touch."
"No problem, Mr. Teng, in addition, I will forward the new song to you after I make it."
"Okay."
Just after talking to Teacher Teng, Gu Yi turned his head to look at Ni Hongchang again.
"Teacher Ni, why don't you sing two songs, in addition to the song I wrote for you, which song do you want to sing, that is, change the pop singing method to bel canto singing, otherwise it feels a little less to sing a song at the concert, and I just got off the stage."
Ni Hongchang was sitting on the side just now and heard the whole conversation between Gu Yi and Teacher Teng: "I will listen to you, if Teacher Teng can go, I will be even better, he can even sing that kind of song, I can too." ”
After the two teachers all agreed, Gu Yi felt that he could invite all the old-timers to be guests in this concert.
So he told the group about it.
Zhou Le: "I know some seniors here, but they all play rock and roll, but the two seniors you invited are more formal and belong to the national team, and I think it's better to find a third guest like this." ”
Jia Zhe: "I know, but my teacher and some of his friends mainly play musical instruments, and it's too late to invite them now, they must be too busy to rehearse so many songs, otherwise what about Sister Xue?" ”
Yu Xue: "Why don't I try and ask my teacher if he is going?" ”
Gu Yi: "Okay, if your teacher can go, your songs can actually be sung, My Heart Will Go On and love story can be sung." ”
It didn't take long for Yu Xue to say in the group again:
"My teacher agreed, and when the time comes, she can come to our concert and sing the two songs you just said."
"Then in this way, the guests of our Yanjing concert will be gathered."
At the same time, Gu Yi also thought about what songs to let Teacher Teng sing with Teacher Ni.
In addition to Mr. Teng's love cycle, Gu Yi also plans to write another invisible wing, let Yu Xue sing it first, and then let Mr. Teng change it.
And Mr. Ni wrote a poem of Qili incense.
And when Gu Yi was chatting with the band members, Ni Hongchang also thought about what to sing in the other place.
"Gu Yi, for the second song, I'll sing the most dazzling national style, because it's really interesting to think about contrast, this song itself is very suitable for singing on stage, even if it is changed to bel canto, it will be more atmospheric." (End of chapter)
