Zhou Yan did not come up from the top of the road this time, but gave a lecture on the stage from the beginning.

Li Bingyang was going to deal with the visa matter today, so he asked Jia Guoping to substitute for him, and Jia Guoping turned his head and handed over the matter to Zhou Yan.

In this way, Zhou Yan took over this class, and now Zhou Yan is already a teaching assistant for composition 88.

After speaking on the stage for a while, Zhou Yan suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure at the door, and turned his head to see that it was Sun Qin standing at the door of the classroom.

Sun Qin glanced at Zhou Yan, smiled, and raised his hand to greet Zhou Yan silently.

Zhou Yan nodded, first finished a knowledge point that was being taught, and then he said to the students, "What I just said, you digest it first, and I'll go out." ”

With that, he walked out of the classroom.

"Director Sun, why are you here?"

Sun Qin rubbed his hands and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm disturbing your class, right?" ”

"No, I'm about to rest." Zhou Yan looked at his watch again, "Do you have anything urgent, if there is no urgency, just wait here for a while, there are still seven or eight minutes before the recess, and we will talk again during the recess." ”

Sun Qin smiled and shook his head, "It's not a hurry, I can wait for you." ”

"Why don't you go inside and wait?" Zhou Yan asked.

Sun Qin looked inside the classroom, he hadn't taken a composition major class, and he was quite curious, "Is it convenient?" ”

Zhou Yan smiled, "What's inconvenient, our class is open to anyone." ”

"Then it's disrespectful."

Seeing that Zhou Yan went and returned, and brought a "big brother" in, the students were a little curious, and they were all guessing who this big brother was.

Sun Qin sat in the back row and listened to the lecture honestly like other students, but in the professional class of the composition department, even if Zhou Yan spoke in simple terms, it was impossible for him to understand.

You can hear any polyphony, harmony, words, but you can't understand them when they are put together.

After listening in a daze for seven or eight minutes, it was finally time for recess, and Zhou Yan took advantage of the students' break to pull Sun Qin aside.

"Director Sun, what are you here for today?" Zhou Yan went straight to the point.

Sun Qin knew that Zhou Yan was short of time, so he didn't make a detour, he took out a cassette tape from his pocket, "This is what I asked for from Director Wang, and it contains the "Kite" you wrote for "Heaven's Reply". ”

Zhou Yan didn't expect that Sun Qin would really go to Wang Junzheng to ask for a tune. In fact, after meeting Sun Qin that time, Zhou Yan didn't think about their promotional video anymore.

He looked at the tape and smiled, "After Director Sun listened to this song, did he have any advice for me?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Qin waved his hand again and again, "No, no, Zhou guides your level, I only have the share of worship, where do you dare to give advice." Well, I was really overwhelmed by this song, and I paid more attention to the soundtrack of our promotional video. This time, I specifically wanted to ask Director Zhou if he could give us some guidance on the soundtrack of the promotional video. ”

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, my new work this semester is made for the Forbidden City. ”

Students in the composition department of CCTV have to submit a new work every semester, and at the end of the semester, the class will organize a concert of new works for the semester, when the students need to perform their own works on stage.

Although Zhou Yan is now doing the same as a teaching assistant every day, his identity is an ordinary student of 88-level composition, so new works for the semester also have to be handed in.

As he said, the work he is going to hand in this time is related to the Forbidden City, which is "Memories of the Forbidden City" that he borrowed from the well-known New Century Orchestra SENS.

There are many soundtracks in SENS's "Forbidden City Trilogy", but the most famous of them should be this "Memories of the Forbidden City", which is also a typical piece of music that is more popular than a piece.

Before deciding to use "Memories of the Forbidden City" as his new work for the semester, Zhou Yan was a little hesitant, this piece is of course good, but it belongs to the new century music, neither classical nor avant-garde.

The semester works of the Department of Composition are mainly to show what students have learned, so when students create semester works, they will give more consideration to the tonality of the works, classical techniques, rules, and so on.

To put it bluntly, it is to have students show their arsenals.

And "Memories of the Forbidden City" obviously does not belong to the category of this type of work, it belongs to the new genre between electronic music and classical music.

But in the end, Zhou Yan still decided to use "Memories of the Forbidden City", he felt that he did not need to be limited to professional skills, and should jump out and hand over works that resonate with people.

And his own skill level no longer needs to be reflected in a semester work, it is better to express some things outside of the technique.

In addition, he also wants to learn more about electronic music through the production of this piece.

"Memories of the Forbidden City" uses a lot of electronic music technology, which Zhou Yan doesn't know much about.

Sun Qin heard that Zhou Yan's semester work was related to the Forbidden City, and said in surprise, "Really? ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, so I heard that you were going to make a promotional video that day, so I asked a few more questions, but the Forbidden City in your promotional video doesn't have much appearance time." ”

Sun Qin understood, last time Zhou Yan actually wanted to score their promotional video, but I heard that there was too little time related to the Forbidden City in the promotional video, so I couldn't look at it.

He hurriedly said, "In fact, the proportion of space can be adjusted, and if necessary, we can consider increasing the content of the Forbidden City." ”

Zhou Yan shook his head, "Director Sun, it's too difficult, your whole film is only three or five minutes, but the length of my song is four minutes." ”

Sun Qin was about to say if he could cut a little bit of the song and put it into the promotional video, but he heard Zhou Yan say again, "And this song is inconvenient to dismantle, because it itself is a complete narrative, if it is dismantled, the narrative is incomplete, and the effect will be greatly reduced." ”

This sentence directly blocked what Sun Qin originally wanted to say.

In this way, Sun Qin made a difficulty, it stands to reason that the soundtrack must be according to the film, but the problem is that now Zhou Yan didn't say that he wanted to match them, he came to Zhou Yan himself, and he couldn't force others to tear down the tune, it's a bit unreasonable.

If you can't disassemble the tune, you can only extend the time, if you want to extend it by tens of seconds or even a minute or two, Sun Qin can still call the shots, but extend the content of the Forbidden City to four minutes upward......

In doing so, there are only two possibilities, either to extend the whole film several times, or to simply change the theme, from the Yanjing promotional film to the Forbidden City promotional video.

Can Team Leader Sun agree? This topic was personally finalized by Team Leader Sun, and the above process has been completed, and now it is very troublesome to suddenly change the theme and have to go to the meeting.

However, Sun Qin would not stupidly say no to Zhou Yan, he said with a smile, "Four minutes is no problem, our film can be lengthened as appropriate, this promotional video is only tentatively scheduled for three to five minutes, and it is normal to increase it to ten minutes in the later stage." ”

In order to increase the persuasiveness of his words, Sun Qin gave Zhou Yan another example, "Last month, we did a program related to people's livelihood, which was originally scheduled to last seven minutes, but later because there were a lot of materials and topics, the station decided to expand it into a half-hour special program." ”

Zhou Yan couldn't tell whether Sun Qin's words were true or false, but it didn't make a difference to him whether they were true or false, and he had already written the song "Memories of the Forbidden City".

If Yanjing TV can put all the tunes in, then Zhou Yan will use them for them, if they can't put it in, they won't use it, he has no intention of accommodating the TV station.

"Then what are you going to do now, Director Sun?" Zhou Yan asked.

Sun Qin thought for a moment and asked, "Director Zhou, can I listen to your tune first?" ”

"What about the song......" Zhou Yan looked around the classroom, then nodded, "It's okay, school will be out after the next class, and I'll show you how to show it to you then." ”

The song "Memories of the Forbidden City" uses a lot of musical instruments, including synthesizers, and there is no way to achieve a complete interpretation on the spot.

And even if you have enough instruments, you have to find someone to play them.

However, during this time, he was teaching his younger brothers and sisters about orchestration, so he brought a lot of musical instruments, such as violin and flute.

If you want a piano, you can have two or three pianos in the classroom.

So Zhou Yan can pick an instrument and give Sun Qin a solo.

Zhou Yan said that he wanted to play, which was exactly what Sun Qin wanted, and Sun Qin said with a smile, "Then I'll wait for you to get out of class." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and when class time came, Zhou Yan walked up to the podium, and Sun Qin continued to go to the back row.

After the end of a class, Sun Qin couldn't wait to stand up and wanted to go to Zhou Yan, but before he could walk in front of Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan was surrounded by several students.

"Senior Brother Zhou Yan, can you help me take a look at my semester work?"

"Senior brother, I still have a bamboo flute missing from my semester performance, can you help me?"

"Senior brother, senior brother, tell us about the orchestration again."

……

Sun Qin looked at Zhou Yan, who was tossing and turning among the students, with a confused expression, no wonder the level of central voice is high, and the learning atmosphere in their school is too good.

When he was in school before, he was caught by the teacher every day.

Zhou Yan pressed his hand in the crowd, "Don't worry, I still have something to do with Teacher Sun, after it's over, we'll talk about it, or you go back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Teacher Sun? Who is Mr. Sun?

Some classmates realized it and looked back at Sun Qin, and the other students also followed.

Being stared at by the students, Sun Qin raised his hand a little embarrassedly, "Hello classmates." ”

After speaking, Sun Qin walked up to Zhou Yan and said in a low voice, "Director Zhou, or let's change places......

He couldn't go on with the rest of the story, because he noticed that a girl looked at him like she was going to eat him.

It doesn't matter where he listens to the music, Sun Qin himself doesn't care, he mainly thinks about Zhou Yan.

However, Zhou Yan waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, it's right here, during this time, other students will also practice their works in the classroom, I haven't practiced before, and I happen to practice today." ”

Xu Lang was the first to understand, and he opened his eyes wide and said, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, do you want to play a tune?" ”

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Well, my new work for the semester." ”

"Wow."

"I can hear Senior Brother Zhou Yan's new work."

Although they didn't understand why Zhou Yan wanted to play a new work in front of this Teacher Sun, they were very excited to hear Zhou Yan's new work.

In fact, since last month, there have been students practicing their own tunes in the classroom, and some students will practice writing and writing in the classroom.

But they hadn't seen Zhou Yan practice his tunes for a long time, and they had never heard him mention it.

The students are very curious, what is Zhou Yan's semester work like?
