Chapter 65: Riding a Horse to Find a Horse (3.4k)
The students consciously gathered around the edge of the musical instrument area, waiting to see Zhou Yan's performance, and Sun Qin also mixed in among the students, waiting quietly.
"Last year, Senior Zhou Yan's "Dark Fragrance Floating" suite was too strong, and I am still very impressed."
"It's the year before last, right? Brother Zhou Yan did not perform any new works last year. ”
"Yes, it's the year before last."
"I wasn't there that day, but I heard that the song was extremely skilled."
"That's right, not only composing and showing off his skills, but Zhou Yan playing the flute himself is also very dazzling."
……
From the discussion of the students, Sun Qin concluded that Zhou Yan should be the senior brother of these students, and it is likely that he is a teaching assistant who came to teach as a substitute today.
Zhou Yan expanded the knowledge of orchestration for his younger brothers and sisters today, so he brought three flutes, both qu flute and bang flute.
He chose the F-key Bang Flute that He Wuming bought for him before, the song "Memories of the Forbidden City" is magnificent and atmospheric, and it is more suitable to play it with the Bang flute.
The flute membrane had just been torn off, and he had to take out a new diaphragm and put it on.
After the flute membrane was attached, he briefly tried the sound again, and when he found it okay, he walked to the middle of the instrument area.
Seeing Zhou Yan standing still in the middle of the musical instrument area, the students who were discussing before did not speak anymore, but looked at Zhou Yan with bated breath.
Sun Qin was infected by this atmosphere, and he also stood up straight and looked at Zhou Yan motionlessly.
After learning the instrument for a long time, it is really easy to integrate into the body.
Since Zhou Yan mastered this body, every time he got the flute, he felt that he was in harmony with the flute.
When playing the flute, Zhou Yan was completely different from usual, and the whole person entered a state of jumping out of the flesh.
After a slight brew, the flute sounded.
The opening part is a short introduction that is fluttering and gives a very serene feel.
Like an early spring morning, insects and birds chirp, the sun rises in the east, and the soft sunlight slowly spills into the city with the notes, staining the roofs and walls like a watercolor painting with ink not dry.
This introduction lasts for 30 seconds, and in the seemingly flat tune, the listener's sense of anticipation is constantly raised.
It wasn't until thirty seconds later that a "long whistle" broke the previous silence, and the sound of the flute suddenly became magnificent.
It was as if a heavy gate had been slowly pushed open, revealing the magnificent scene inside, and the sunlight shone on the gate, turning into a rich sense of epic.
The students only felt that this piece was magnificent and magnificent, and it had the beauty of a palace music. At the same time, they are also analyzing what techniques Zhou Yan used when writing this piece, and what techniques he used when playing it.
But Sun Qin didn't take these technical things into account, and his feelings were more specific.
In this music, he suddenly had a feeling that a solemn hall seemed to emerge in front of him, with the Son of Heaven above, hundreds of officials seated, and all nations coming to court.
The Yongle prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty described in the book slowly rushed out of the water, at first a roof, then several walls, and finally a magnificent whole city.
Some time ago, Sun Qin took people to photograph and explore the Forbidden City, so he knows a little more about the Forbidden City.
Now the history of the past has not faded from his mind, and he hears this song again.
Those memories of the Forbidden City came like a tide, sweeping through his body, giving him the feeling of traveling through time and space and being in front of the Taihe Palace.
But I don't know why, Sun Qin suddenly heard a trace of loneliness from the song, for eternity, he was the only one left in the palace.
The ancients were not seen before, and the comers were not seen after, and a sense of pathos and desolation came to his heart.
Just when Sun Qin was about to fall into this loneliness, before he knew it, the four-minute piece had been played.
The classroom burst into applause.
The students were very quiet when listening to the music, and all of them were qualified listeners, but after the music ended, they transformed into lively and lovely younger brothers and sisters.
Some people pay attention to the music, "Senior brother is amazing, I look forward to adding other instruments to the performance later." ”
Someone slapped the horse, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, quickly collect your talent, I'm about to die of jealousy." ”
There are also girls fishing in troubled waters, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, I love you." ”
"Alright, you guys can play by yourselves." Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hand, then put away his few flutes, turned his head to Sun Qin and said, "Director Sun, let's go." ”
"Oh." Sun Qin answered, then got up and followed Zhou Yan out.
When they left the classroom, the students started talking again.
"Senior Brother Zhou Yan called him Director Sun just now, did you hear that?"
"That's right, it must be Senior Brother Zhou Yan who received the soundtrack for the new movie."
"I don't know what movie it is this time, I'm looking forward to it."
"The previous "Hang the Red Lantern" hasn't come out yet."
Zhou Yan's composing students basically know about the soundtrack of the movie, and this kind of thing spreads the fastest, but most people only know that he participated in the soundtrack of "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and they don't know that he is still the soundtrack director of "Heaven's Reply".
At this time, someone reacted again.
"Oh, no, Senior Brother Zhou Yan said that he wanted to guide us in the semester work, why did he run away?"
"Ahhh
……
Here took Sun Qin out of the classroom quickly, wrinkled for a while, Zhou Yan smiled, "Director Sun, do you think this song is suitable for your promotional video?" ”
"Yes, fit." Sun Qin nodded frantically.
In fact, his words are a bit against his will, and this song does not fit well with their promotional video.
In their promotional film "Taste of Yanjing", nearly half of them are scenes of modern life, and there are many high-rise buildings in the picture, which does not fit Zhou Yan's song at all.
But Sun Qin was unwilling to give up such a good tune, so he said such a disobedient thing.
Zhou Yan smiled, "Actually, the bamboo flute can't really play the charm of this song, if you're really interested, another week...... No, come to me in half a month, and I'll record the song then. ”
"Do you have to wait half a month?" Sun Qin asked with a frown, he couldn't wait.
"That's right, it will take half a month." Zhou Yan nodded, "The main thing is that we don't have a suitable synthesizer at hand, and we don't have many of them." ”
"Synthesizers? Are you talking about a synthesizer, the kind of keyboard-like electronic organ that can synthesize sound effects? Sun Qin asked.
Although what Sun Qin said was a bit problematic, it should be said that it was a thing, so Zhou Yan nodded and said, "That's right, that's it." ”
As soon as he heard that what Zhou Yan wanted was the one he said, Sun Qin said with a smile, "I can get this, when will you want it?" ”
"The sooner the better."
The point is that Zhou Yan doesn't know much about synthesizers, and he is not sure if he can get the required sound out earlier, so he has to study it first.
Later, he would definitely have to try to simulate it with a traditional instrument and then use a synthesizer to do it.
Sun Qin nodded, "Then I'll bring you the things tomorrow, and it's up to you for as long as you want." ”
Although he knew that Sun Qin didn't understand, Zhou Yan still asked more, "What brand and what model of your synthesizer is it?" ”
The difference between the synthesizer is quite big, and Zhou Yan is worried that Sun Qin got the kind of parallel goods, and he can't get what he wants.
Of course, Sun Qin didn't know what brand or model, but he said confidently, "Don't worry, it must be a good thing." Or you name a brand and model, and I'll get it for you. ”
Zhou Yan smiled, listening to Sun Qin's meaning, there is more than one, maybe he will sell this if he has friends.
"I don't want a specific brand or model, if you can get it, the more professional the better."
Sun Qin nodded, "Understood, the more expensive the better, right?" ”
Zhou Yan smiled, "It can also be understood in this way." ”
"That's fine, I'll come back to you tomorrow when you have time."
Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, the classroom just now will be available at any time." ”
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."
After speaking, Sun Qin waved his hand and turned to leave, it seemed that he was in a hurry to find a synthesizer for Zhou Yan.
Seeing that Sun Qin was so active, Zhou Yan also moved, and hurried to fill in the other musical instruments.
"Memories of the Forbidden City" sounds like there are a lot of instruments, as if there are more than a dozen musical instruments, but in fact, most of them are produced by synthesizers.
In addition to synthesizers, there are pianos, violins and drum kits.
Zhou Yan can come to the piano by himself, of course, he may come to the synthesizer by himself later, and the piano will be handed over to someone else, or, find someone who can play synthesizer.
He used to look for Jia Guoping for the violin, but now Jia Guoping is too busy.
It's almost May, and the other students in the composition department are also busy with new works for the semester, so Zhou Yan can only go to the violin major to find one now.
On the orchestral side, he was more familiar with Yu Ran, so after Sun Qin left, Zhou Yan first went to the fixed classroom of the cello major, but now that school is over, the classroom is empty.
Zhou Yan was not in a hurry, he was going to go to the cafeteria to eat first, and then go to the girls' dormitory to find Yu Ran.
But as soon as he entered the cafeteria, he saw two tall cellos.
He took a closer look, it was Yu Ran and her roommate Fang Xiu, the two of them had a good relationship, and Zhou Yan also talked to Fang Xiu a few times because of Yu Ran.
"Hello two junior sisters." Zhou Yan went over to say hello.
Yu Ran raised her head and didn't speak, but Fang Xiu, who was sitting next to her, spoke excitedly, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, you are looking for Ran Ran." ”
After that, Yu Ran obediently greeted Zhou Yan, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan." ”
Zhou Yan didn't take a detour and went straight to the point, "Do you know anyone who specializes in violin?" My semester work lacks a violin. ”
This time, it was Yu Ran Fang Xiu who spoke first, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, aren't you riding a horse to find a horse?" We also played the violin very well, not losing to our violin majors. ”
Riding a horse to find a horse...... Zhou Yan pouted secretly, classmate Fang Xiu is good at using idioms.
"Ahem, do you play the violin well? I haven't heard you say that before. ”
Yu Ran said a little embarrassed, "Actually, there is no ...... Fang Xiu said."
"Better than I said." Fang Xiu grabbed the conversation, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, don't worry, hand over the burden of the violin to Ran Ran, she will definitely not let you down." ”
Hearing Fang Xiu say this, Zhou Yan also nodded, "It's okay, I don't know if Senior Sister Yu Ran has time." ”
Yu Ran's violin may not be as professional as violin, but it should be enough for Zhou Yan, she is always better than Jia Guoping.
"That's right." Fang Xiu smiled, and winked at Yu Ran again.
Yu Ran was embarrassed by her, and lowered her head, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, when you need it, just tell me." ”
Zhou Yan waved his hand, "Don't worry, I still lack two musicians now." ”
"There is still a shortage of musicians, we will help you Zhang Luo." Fang Xiu said with a smile.
"A keyboard, a drum kit."
As soon as he heard that these two instruments were these two instruments, Fang Xiu said helplessly, "Then I can't do anything, it seems that no one plays these two instruments in our strings, you have to go to the Western percussion major to ask, but I feel that it is also difficult." ”
