The students on the stage were also looking at Zhou Yan at this time, and their expectant eyes directly set Zhou Yan up.

In fact, Zhou Yan can't give them too much advice, in terms of musical instruments, Zhou Yan also has a lot of research on bamboo flutes, and other musical instruments are not as good as these students on stage.

These students basically practice a musical instrument from an early age, and their level is very high, otherwise they would not be able to enter the central sound.

Musically, they played "The Song of Solveig", which was adapted by Edward Grieg, and there was basically no innovation.

The difference between the performances of different orchestras is mainly reflected in the level of the conductor and the level of the musicians, and the conductor should not be from the conducting department, because all the students of the conducting department, Zhou Yan, basically know each other.

The level of temporary guest conductors can be imagined, and these students are relatively inexperienced in orchestras, and they have not practiced together for a long time, so the performance effect will definitely not be very good.

Of course, the biggest problem with their performance is not just in the conductor or the performers, but in the lack of coordination.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yan spoke, "You have a certain musical instrument that is too strong. ”

Because what Zhou Yan said was too wrong, the squad leader didn't understand it a little, "Teacher Zhou, can you tell me in detail?" ”

"I listened for a while, and I could see that you weren't doing enough to prepare, and it was very important for the musicians to agree on the understanding before the orchestra played. There is no fixed answer to the performance of a piece of music, and each orchestra has a different style and a completely different effect, so before you play, you must determine one thing, that is, what kind of style you want to play the piece. ”

Seeing that the students on the stage were listening with their ears sideways, Zhou Yan raised the volume again so that they could hear clearly, "After reaching an agreement, it is necessary to run in the action, at this time, the command is very important, since there is a command, it must be used, and the command cannot be used as a decoration." For example, the violin, playing in a solo and orchestra is completely different, the player can not feel that the violin has a more important position in the ensemble, and other instruments and voices are at their own service, not cooperating with other instruments, and not obeying the conductor, which will cause the violin to be too prominent in the performance, which will affect the overall effect. ”

In fact, what Zhou Yan said is also a problem that often occurs in ordinary orchestras.

The violin's place in the orchestra is self-evident due to its mellow timbre and flexible technique, but it is often because of this that many violinists have the wrong idea that other instruments are for the violin, and that they are too self-evident and make the music unbalanced as a whole.

In fact, the violin is not strong in solo ability, but strong complementarity and integration, and can form a good cooperation with other instruments.

There are four violins in their orchestra, and when they heard Zhou Yan say this, they were all a little nervous, worried that something was wrong on their side.

Zhou Yan did not name names, in fact, it was not that there was a problem with any of the violins, but that none of the four violins were synchronized with the whole.

If this group was led by Zhou Yanlai, he would definitely have to say a few more words, but these problems can't be solved in a few words, so he probably clicked on it and didn't continue.

The squad leader was also very knowledgeable, thanked Zhou Yan, and then took the stage to clean up the musical instruments with everyone.

After a while, the Piano Youth Orchestra also came over one after another, waiting with Zhou Yan to clean up on the stage.

After those freshmen packed up their instruments, many of them did not rush to leave, and also sat down under the stage, ready to watch Zhou Yan and them rehearse, after all, this is also a good opportunity to learn.

When the rehearsal was about to start, Zhao Muyang, who had long hair and wore sunglasses, came.

Zhou Yan smiled and beckoned to him, "Muyang, here." ”

There are many people in the orchestra who know Zhao Muyang, like Yu Ran and Fang Xiu, who have worked with Zhao Muyang before, and they also greeted him one after another.

"Brother Zhao is here."

"Brother Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Zhao Muyang waved to them very coolly.

After arriving next to Zhou Yan, Zhao Muyang smiled and said, "What are you rehearsing now?" ”

"It's the ones I wrote."

"Is there a show?"

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, I'm going to Xiangjiang to have a concert with Taiwan Island in a while." ”

"Oh." Zhao Muyang also nodded, he was wearing sunglasses, and he couldn't see his expression.

Zhou Yan looked Zhao Muyang up and down with a smile, "Has your hair grown a little longer recently?" ”

"The main thing is too lazy to cut."

"I'm too lazy to cut my hair, but I'm not afraid of the trouble of washing my hair." Zhou Yan teased him with a smile, and then asked, "Are you still following those rock bands during this time?" ”

"Well, the band has changed a few times, but most of the people are still those people."

Zhou Yan nodded, now the domestic rock is like a fire, burning very strongly, but the life cycle is not long, especially those rock bands, may have just been established this month and disbanded next month.

The establishment of many bands is also very hasty, maybe a few friends have a drink together, bragging, as if they feel the resonance of music and life, and they want to form a band with a pat on the head.

And the threshold for this thing is really not high, there is a lead singer, there is a guitar and he dares to form a band, drummers like Zhao Muyang are rare talents.

Zhou Yan did not evaluate rock in front of Zhao Muyang, in the eyes of musicians like Zhou Yan, rock is just a form of music, but Chinese rock is pieced together by rock lovers, and in the eyes of many rock lovers, the stage performance of rock is greater than its music itself.

Some rock bands have gone into the wrong way, they pursue less of the quality of the music itself, but more of the "style" of stage performance, which is naturally difficult to last.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Give yourself a little time to rest and rest, and get in touch with other forms of music, so that your thinking will not be rigid." ”

Zhao Muyang also laughed, "Didn't I come to you for edification?" ”

In fact, what Zhou Yan said he also realized that in the past two years, he has performed with different bands and produced albums, and many things are the same, and he feels that he has not improved at all.

There are so many stages, and many of the scenes are very lively, but occasionally he calms down and thinks about it, but he still feels that he was more impressed by playing "Memories of the Forbidden City" with Zhou Yan and them at that time.

Although the stage of "Memories of the Forbidden City" is not as lively as rock music, the soothing of the soul is long-lasting, like a trickle, endless.

In fact, Zhao Muyang didn't tell Zhou Yan the truth, he is no longer in any band now, some time ago Dou Wei disbanded the Dream Band, which made Zhao Muyang a little disheartened, and now he doesn't want to join any band, he just wants to be a professional drummer.

……

Wang Feng was adjusting his piano while looking at Zhao Muyang below, he felt that Zhao Muyang was a little familiar, so he asked Fang Xiu, "Sister Xiu, who is this person?" ”

Fang Xiu said with a smile, "What's the matter, seeing that other people's hair is longer than yours, are you interested?" ”

"Don't keep talking about my hair." Wang Feng muttered.

"I just don't like your long hair."

Fang Xiu always likes to talk about Wang Feng's hair, and he also said before that he would cut Wang Feng's long hair, which made Wang Feng sometimes afraid when he saw Fang Xiu.

"Is he very familiar with Senior Brother Zhou Yan, I see that you all know him."

Fang Xiu didn't tease him anymore, and said with a smile, "Aren't you very concerned about rock and roll, he's Zhao Muyang." ”

"Zhao Muyang?" Wang Feng was very surprised.

Of course he knows who Zhao Muyang is, he is the number one drummer in the rock circle.

In the rock circle, if someone says that he is the first person in rock and roll, there must be many people who will scold, but if Zhao Muyang is the first drummer, then there are definitely not many people who will question it.

However, Zhao Muyang rarely shows up, and he has long hair and sunglasses, and now he grabs a lot of people on the street in this kind of dress, and he can't tell who is who.

"How could Senior Brother Zhou Yan know Zhao Muyang?"

In Wang Feng's view, Zhou Yan and rock and roll are two worlds, and there should be no overlap.

Fang Xiu explained with a smile, "Last year, Senior Brother Zhou Yan's grade work concert played "Memories of the Forbidden City", and Zhao Muyang was a jazz drummer, and we rehearsed together for a long time at that time. But we haven't seen him since. ”

Wang Feng nodded, I see, this can make sense, after all, there are not many people in China who can play jazz drums now, and it is normal for Senior Brother Zhou Yan to find Zhao Muyang.

Fang Xiu shook his hand in front of him, "Okay, don't look at it, get ready to prepare, start right away." ”

"Oh, good."

Today they mainly practice two songs, one is "Awakening" and the other is "Forever Together".

These two pieces are not difficult in the first place, and they have practiced for so long, so the effect is naturally no problem.

After "Awakening" was lined up twice, they rested for a while, and Zhao Muyang took advantage of this opportunity to turn his head sideways and say to Zhou Yan, "This song "Awakening" seems to be different from the original. ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "I have made some new attempts, I conceived the first violin and the second violin in two sections, so that the two groups of violins have a clear primary and secondary order. ”

This way of conception is actually more classical, and the modern music arrangement basically unifies the first and second violins in one part.

In contrast, the violin group is on the left side of the conductor and is an American arrangement, the former is more suitable for classical repertoire and is more aesthetically pleasing, while the latter is more suitable for modern repertoire.

Zhao Muyang didn't know much about the orchestration of the symphony, but he could probably understand it, and he noticed just now that the two groups of violins on the stage were separated, on the left hand side and the right hand side of the conductor, probably because of Zhou Yan's arrangement.

In fact, in addition to this, Zhou Yan also improved the performance of the bass voice in this piece, making the whole piece more high-spirited and oppressive.

After a few more rehearsals for "Awakening", the instruments of the live performers were readjusted, with both violins on the conductor's left hand side, and the flutes and piccolos in the middle were also moved back to an American arrangement.

"Do you have to play these two pieces in the next concert?" Zhao Muyang asked.

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, you have to play." ”

"Then when the time comes, isn't it too troublesome to change positions like this?"

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "No, this version of "Awakening" will only be performed in the last performance in Xiangjiang, and the other three performances are all American-style arrangements." So it's a little more troublesome in the last game, but it's not really troublesome, don't you think they changed it very sloppy? ”

"Oh, yes."

It can be seen that these orchestra members should change positions frequently, so they are quite skilled.

……

Two hours later, when the rehearsal was over, Wang Feng quickly put away his piano and ran in front of Zhou Yan and them.

"Senior Brother Zhou Yan."

Seeing Wang Feng suddenly running in front of him, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Feng said with a smile, "I want to get to know Brother Zhao Muyang." ”

Hearing that he wanted to know Zhao Muyang, Zhou Yan looked at Zhao Muyang with a smile and introduced, "Muyang, this is my junior brother Wang Feng, and he also likes rock music." ”

"Hello." For people he doesn't know, Zhao Muyang has always been very cool.

Wang Feng pushed his glasses and said, "Brother Zhao, I have heard most of your songs many times. ”

Zhao Muyang nodded, "Well, there is time to communicate." ”

His style of speaking is like this, but to Wang Feng's ears, it is a bit of an end to the topic.

"Uh......" Wang Feng is not a person who is good at finding topics, so he held back for a long time and asked, "Have you had any new works in your dream band recently?" ”

Zhao Muyang twitched the corners of his mouth, the dream band has been disbanded, but the outside world actually doesn't know that Wang Feng's words undoubtedly reveal his scars.

"Not yet."

Zhou Yan was also quite surprised, he could feel that after Wang Feng asked about the Dream Band, Zhao Muyang's mood suddenly became not very good, and he didn't know why.

"Fang Xiu, they've summed it up, Wang Feng, go listen to it."

Wang Feng nodded, "Okay, then I'll go over first, Brother Zhou, goodbye." ”

"Well, goodbye."

After Wang Feng left, Zhou Yan didn't ask Zhao Muyang about anything related to the Dream Band, mainly because he didn't care too much.

After Fang Xiu and Commander Yue Lin and the members of the group finished summing up, Zhou Yan asked Shang Xiu and Yu Ran to go out for a meal with Zhao Muyang, who had known each other before.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Feng and Zhao Muyang met for the first time today, the atmosphere was not very good, Zhou Yan would probably call Wang Feng as well, maybe they would have been in contact earlier, and they would have been able to start a band earlier.

Zhou Yan actually hopes that Wang Feng can put more attention to the violin, he has talent and can eat this bowl of rice.

and Zhao Muyang, Zhou Yan wants to pull him to the symphony orchestra as a drummer, don't do any rock music.

But everyone has their own preferences and choices, which is difficult to block, since it can't be stopped, it doesn't hurt to push it.

……

In the next three days, Zhou Yan, Greenspan and Sun Qin finished filming the scene of diving and the Forbidden City, and spent another day cutting the film.

On Wednesday, Zhao Jiping came to Yanjing, and Zhou Yan was going to the factory to hold the last soundtrack finalization meeting with him and Chen Kaige.

The time they made an appointment was nine o'clock, and before Zhou Yan went to the Yanjing factory, he first went to the crew office of "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural".

The director's office is very different from the last time he came, the office has been fully purchased, and the computers, televisions, VCRs and other electrical appliances have arrived.

In order to facilitate the discussion of things, the director's office also set up a set of sofas and coffee tables.

When Zhou Yan arrived, Wang Xiaoshuai was tinkering in front of the computer, and he didn't know what he was tinkering with? He had never touched a computer before, and he couldn't type, so he slowly poked his two index fingers into the keyboard.

"What are you messing with?"

Wang Xiaoshuai touched his head a little embarrassed, "I'm figuring out how to type." ”

"Will it be?"

"Forget it, it's just a little slow."

Zhou Yan leaned over to take a look, only to see that five words had been typed out on the computer: the sixth sense of the supernatural.

"How long have these words been typing?"

"A few minutes."

Zhou Yan pouted, it was slow enough, but it was a good thing that Wang Xiaoshuai was willing to learn, after all, the computer was a production tool that could greatly improve efficiency, and it would definitely be beneficial to learn it.

"Are you typing fast?" Wang Xiaoshuai asked.

"Okay."

"Why don't you show me?" Wang Xiaoshuai tilted his butt and gave Zhou Yan a position.

"Okay." Zhou Yan nodded, bent down and crackled on the keyboard and typed a line of words: typing is so simple.

Because of the limitation of the input method, Zhou Yan's typing speed has been greatly slowed down, but in Wang Xiaoshuai's eyes, this speed has been called a miracle skill.

"You're so fast? How do you practice, is it especially easy to practice typing because you can play the piano? ”

"It's okay, if you practice seriously, you can reach my speed in a few days."

Wang Xiaoshuai pouted, "I feel like you're coaxing me." ”

"You'll know when you're done." Zhou Yan smiled, "You continue to practice, I'll go to the office next to me and take a look." ”

The two offices next to it are almost furnished, with desks, chairs and benches, but there are no electronic devices such as computers.

After reading it, Zhou Yan said hello to Wang Xiaoshuai, and then went to the Yanjing factory.

When he arrived at the factory, Zhou Yan went directly to the editing building, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw Wang Jun walking from the east end of the corridor, so he smiled and said hello, "Sister Wang." ”

"Let's hold the finalization meeting of the soundtrack of "Farewell My Concubine", Chen Kaige and they are already in the screening room."

"Well, I'll go over now."

"Don't worry, I'll ask you something." When he said this, Wang Junzheng also deliberately looked around.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Yan was a little surprised, what was she going to say to herself?

After the two got closer, Wang Junzheng asked in a low voice, "Didn't you have any holiday with Teng Wenji from Chang'an Factory?" ”

Zhou Yan furrowed his eyebrows, "Sister Wang, why did you suddenly ask that?" ”

"Two days ago, there was a director exchange meeting, which was held here in Yanjing, attended by directors from our factory, Changchun factory and Chang'an factory, and someone mentioned your "Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" at the meeting, and Teng Wenji expressed some of his opinions."

Wang Jun is saying this, and what Teng Wenji said is definitely not a good thing.

"What did he say?" Zhou Yan asked.

"I didn't say anything else, I just said that the film had no depth and the details were rough. Our exchange meeting this time has nothing to do with your movie, but someone casually mentioned it when chatting, and he suddenly provoked a problem, which I feel quite abnormal, so I asked you if there was a holiday between you and him. ”

Zhou Yan is not familiar with Teng Wenji, but if you want to talk about the festival, it may really be a little.

When he was in Qiao's compound before, Li Jiehan, who was taken away by Zhou Yan, was Teng Wenji's protégé.

This is to hit the small, come to the old?

However, Zhou Yan also couldn't figure it out, could Teng Wenji come to trouble himself for Li Jiehan's matter?

Of course, saying a few innocuous comments behind his back had no effect on Zhou Yan.

"Hey, I was a little unhappy with his student Li Jiehan before, maybe because of this, I'm not particularly sure."

Wang Junzheng nodded, "That's all I want to tell you, you just know." ”

"Thank you, Sister Wang." Zhou Yan said gratefully.

Wang Jun is waving his hand, "It's nothing, don't be affected by his words, it's okay, the eldest sister is still very optimistic about you." ”

"Sister, don't worry, I won't be affected by this kind of words."

"Well, that's good." Wang Junzheng smiled.

In fact, when Teng Wenji said that day, Wang Junzheng raised a different opinion on the spot and praised "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", but she didn't tell Zhou Yan, because she didn't want to ask for credit in front of Zhou Yan.

Others may care about Teng Wenji's face, but Wang Junzheng doesn't care at all, she and Teng Wenji are directors of the same generation, and she has a straightforward personality, so she can say whatever she wants.

After separating from Wang Junzheng, Zhou Yan didn't take Teng Wenji's matter to heart, it was useless for him to think about this kind of thing, but he also kept an eye on it, if he encountered any trouble in the future, he might think of Teng Wenji and Li Jiehan as soon as possible.

In the screening room, Chen Kaige is taking Zhao Jiping to watch the film "Farewell My Concubine", and now this film is basically done except for the soundtrack.

They didn't just watch it, and there was a cassette recorder next to it, and every time they saw a piece, they played a piece of soundtrack that had already been made.

Seeing Zhou Yan, Zhao Jiping was very happy, shook hands with Zhou Yan again, and patted his shoulder.

"Zhou Yan, this time has been really hard."

Chen Kaige also smiled, "Zhou Yan, when you didn't come, Master Zhao was always praising you. ”

"Haha, I'm also working in his position, doing what I should do." Zhou Yan smiled and asked, "Where did you see it?" ”

"I just watched a ten-minute film, you came just in time, let's watch it together."

Zhou Yan nodded, they didn't say hello again, and sat down directly to continue watching the film.

Because the soundtrack has already been written in advance, when they watch the film, they only need to discuss whether the music is appropriate and whether it needs to be cut or modified.

There must be revisions, because they used to write tunes based on clips, and now the whole movie is cut out, and some places may not be suitable, but even if they are modified, they are small-scale, just do some fine-tuning.

It took a morning for the three of them to finish watching the film, and then Zhou Yan and Zhao Jiping had further discussions according to the problems encountered in the process of watching the film, and finally divided labor for the second time and completed the modification of their respective parts.

Things are not so complicated, in one day, Zhou Yan and Zhao Jiping worked until more than eight o'clock in the evening, and most of the problems were corrected.

In the end, Chen Kaige couldn't help it first.

"Let's get here today, let's continue tomorrow, in fact, it's basically no problem."

Zhao Jiping also nodded, "Well, tomorrow there will be another morning, and it should be able to finalize it all." ”

Chen Kaige looked at the sky outside, and then looked at his watch, "Actually, I was originally going to end the meal, but seeing that you are so serious, I didn't bother, and now there must be no food in the cafeteria, I will take you outside to find a place to eat." ”

Zhou Yan smiled, "Go to my house, I'll let someone do some." ”

Chen Kaige didn't push back, "Then I won't be polite to you." ”

"You're not a polite person either."

Later, Zhou Yan called the restaurant near his home and asked them to make some food and send it to the courtyard in a while.

Not long after Zhou Yan and the others arrived at the courtyard, the food had already been delivered.

They didn't eat much at noon, and they stayed up until now in the evening, and the three of them were already very hungry, looking at the steaming meal, the three of them were all moving their index fingers.

Chen Kaige couldn't help but glance at the cabinet in the living room again.

Before he could speak, Zhou Yan took two bottles of Moutai from the cabinet and came out, after all, Zhao Jiping was a guest at his house for the first time, so he naturally wanted to get Zhao Jiping some good wine.

Chen Kaige was not polite at all, he directly turned against the customer, took the wine bottle and began to pour wine.

When it comes to drinking, Chen Kaige is true love.

Zhao Jiping rubbed his hands, "It's really cold today." ”

Chen Kaige poured the wine and said, "What kind of cold is today, these days, it is the warmest today, but Master Zhao, you are from Chang'an, you naturally feel that it is colder here." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, today is indeed the warmest in Yanjing in the past few days, and it is even a little abnormal.

After the wine was poured, Chen Kaige gave Zhou Yan and the others a glass, and then held the glass and said with a smile, "Master Zhao, then I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha and welcome you with this glass of wine." ”

Zhao Jiping also picked up his wine glass, "Don't respect anyone, let's drink together." ”

After a glass of wine, the bodies of the three of them warmed up, Zhou Yan hurriedly ate a mouthful of food, if he didn't eat vegetables, he really couldn't drink, and Chen Kaige was busy pouring them a second glass of wine.

Zhou Yan had just eaten a piece of meat, and Zhao Jiping picked up his wine glass again, "Kaige, I propose, let's give Zhou Yan a glass and thank him for his hospitality." ”

"No problem."

The second cup went down again.

When Zhou Yan ate the second bite of the dish, Chen Kaige picked up the wine glass again, "This cup is that I, as the director, thank you to the two soundtrack directors for their dedication to our film, thank you very much." ”

After that, he raised his head and did it, Zhou Yan and Zhao Jiping naturally couldn't lag behind.

In this way, without saying a few words or eating a few bites of food, they had already eaten three glasses of wine, and they used small cups, a glass of seven-dollar wine, and three glasses of early twos.

Rao is Zhou Yan has a good amount of wine, so it is a little difficult to drink two taels of high wine on an empty stomach.

But at this time, Chen Kaige was not in a hurry to attack, and began to talk about the movie, and the three of them chatted and drank while eating, and the rhythm slowly slowed down.

For "Farewell My Concubine", Chen Kaige is very confident and anxious, he is anxious to let the movie meet the public as soon as possible, and he is anxious to let everyone know how good he is Chen Kaige.

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Kaige suddenly asked Zhou Yan, "Are you familiar with Director Teng Wenji of Chang'an Factory?" ”

As soon as Zhou Yan heard Chen Kaige talk about Teng Wenji, he knew that Wang Junzheng was talking about the exchange meeting, and Chen Kaige was probably also at the scene, otherwise it would be impossible to suddenly mention it.

"It's not familiar, I've been photographed when I was in Chang'an before, what's wrong?"

Chen Kaige smiled, "It's nothing, I just met Director Teng a few days ago, thinking that you had been in the Chang'an Factory for a period of time before, maybe you knew him Director Teng, so I asked." ”

Zhao Jiping hiccuped, and he didn't know whether it was a wine burp or a full burp, he said with a smile, "Zhou Yan has acquaintances everywhere, and the Chang'an factory can be regarded as half of his family, and he is very familiar with him from top to bottom." The last time I went to the editing workshop of the Chang'an factory, Director Yang also asked me how Zhou Yan was doing. ”

"It's not, it's the same here in Yanjing Factory, some people are more familiar with him than me, to be honest, I'm a little jealous."

Zhou Yan smiled, "How can it be so exaggerated." ”

Zhao Jiping waved his hand, "It's not an exaggeration at all, especially the little girl from Chang'an Factory, she has a good impression of you." ”

"That's right, he's just pleasing little girls."

"It's normal to like him, and if I'm a girl in my early twenties, I'm sure I'll like him too."

"The screenwriter of our movie, Li Bihua, Master Zhao, you know, have a very good impression of Zhou Yan. She quarrels with me every day, but she is smiling when she talks to Zhou Yan. ”

Zhou Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, the more these two people talked, the more unserious they became, and even Li Bihua was involved.

"Come on, come on, don't talk about that, let's drink." Zhou Yan could only gag their mouths with wine.

……

In the second half of the journey, Zhou Yan's state got up, and he began to speed up the pace, and after a while, Zhao Jiping was knocked down, and Chen Kaige was almost the same.

Because there is still something to do tomorrow, after Zhao Jiping can't support it, Chen Kaige also died down and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

"I have to go back, we'll see you in the factory tomorrow, Master Zhao won't leave at night, let's rest here."

With that, Chen Kaige got up and took his clothes and walked out.

But when he pushed the door open, he saw a white expanse outside.

Chen Kaige looked at the whitening courtyard under the lights, rubbed his eyes, and finally exclaimed, "It's snowing." ”

Zhou Yan also ran out to see, and it was really snowing.

"This snow is not small, don't leave at night, and spend the night with Master Zhao in my guest room."

Chen Kaige saw a layer of snow on the ground, and knew that it was really inconvenient to go home at this time, so he nodded, "Okay." ”

When he turned to the table, Chen Kaige poured himself another glass of wine, "Since you are not leaving, let's have two more drinks." ”

“……”

The next morning, when Zhou Yan was still under the covers, he heard a piano sound outside, this piece may have been improvised, one moment passionate, and the other soothing sentimentality.

Zhou Yan went to the piano room with his coat on, and saw Zhao Jiping sitting on the piano bench and playing the piano selflessly.

After he finished playing, Zhou Yan applauded.

Zhao Jiping said with a smile, "Seeing that the piano was good, I played it with itchy hands." ”

"Improvisation?"

"Well, it sounds casual."

"It's a good fit." Zhou Yan smiled, took out the violin again, and played the tune that Zhao Jiping played just now, "With the violin, the effect is much better." ”

Zhao Jiping was not surprised that Zhou Yan could pull it out after listening to it once, which can only show that Zhou Yan has good ears and a good memory, and the song he played casually just now is also simple.

After pulling Zhao Jiping's paragraph, Zhou Yan pulled another paragraph.

In this section he plays, the chord direction is just connected to Zhao Jiping's section, but the content of the performance is completely different.

If Zhao Jiping's paragraph is to express the illness and Xu when it snows, then the paragraph that Zhou Yan picked up is a bit like a sunny day when the snow is fast, as if there is a ray of sunshine shining on the snow, and then the snow slowly melts, and the earth slowly recovers.

Feeling the emotion of the music, Zhao Jiping couldn't help but put his hand on the keys and gave a set of triplets.

Zhou Yan understood what he meant, and responded to this group of triplets with a light melody, and then the two played and pulled, as if they were in a dialogue, you came and went, and finally the music pushed to a climax.

At the end of the song, Zhou Yan and Zhao Jiping both laughed, and they were able to complete such a high degree of improvisation, thanks to their strong sense of musicality.

The advantage of having a strong sense of musicality is here, even if you haven't heard a piece before, you can roughly predict what kind of harmony and melody will be next based on the part you have heard, and you can even know where it should be strong, where it should be weak, and where it should be stressed.

Of course, it's not just that they have a strong sense of musicality, but also because both of them have a lot of experience.

Although it is improvised, it is not a random creation, and there are rules to follow.

Zhao Jiping said with a smile, "This is your piano, you can give it a name." ”

Zhou Yan also laughed, "I'm not good at names, and this piece is your beginning, or you come." ”

Zhao Jiping thought for a while and said, "It's called "Early Morning, First Snow, Red Sun", what do you think?" ”

Zhou Yan felt that this name was really convenient, but it was quite relevant, so he smiled, "I think it's good." ”

"Okay, let's call it then, now we'll write it down."

"Okay, I'll remember the back, you remember the front."

Zhou Yan found a pen and a stave, and began to write music with Zhao Jiping.

As soon as they began to write, Chen Kaige rubbed his hair and walked over, "You guys are playing the piano early in the morning." ”

Zhou Yan smiled, "Wake up." ”

"If you don't wake up, you can't do it, the tunes you play are fast and slow for a while, especially teasing people." Chen Kaige yawned, and saw Zhou Yan dressed again, "It's still young and in good health, it's not cold." ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said this, Zhou Yan trembled, and hurriedly put on his coat and went back to the house to get dressed.

……

When he came back after changing his clothes, Chen Kaige already knew that they had improvised a tune, so he told them to move the morning's work to the afternoon and let them write the score of the new song in the morning.

Then Chen Kaige went back first.

After Chen Kaige left, Zhou Yan was not in a hurry, he went to buy some breakfast first, and wrote while eating with Zhao Jiping.

After the score was written, the two took the score and began to discuss whether there was anything to be revised.

At noon, when the score was almost formed, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Later, I will make up another piece of music for our orchestra to play." ”

Zhao Jiping knew about Zhou Yan's orchestra, after all, his son was in Zhou Yan's class, and he had already told him about it.

"If you write it, there will be an orchestra to play, which is a good feeling."

"I don't use the music in vain, if there is a public performance in the future, I will pay a part of the fee, or buy it out."

Zhao Jiping waved his hand with a smile, "Talking about money......"

"You have to talk about money, if you don't talk about it, it won't look good, Mr. Zhao, you can listen to me about this."

Seeing that Zhou Yan was so determined, Zhao Jiping didn't say anything, and he didn't think that this song could charge much money.

Zhou Yan looked at the score, and then thought of another thing, he said with a smile, "Teacher Zhao, I have a job I want to ask you for help, I don't know if you have time." ”

"What's the job?"

"There is a movie, I am the screenwriter, the director is Wu Ziniu, I want to hand over the soundtrack of this movie to you."

Hearing that Zhou Yan was a screenwriter, Zhao Jiping was only slightly surprised, after all, Zhou Yan even made a movie, and being a screenwriter didn't seem to be nothing.

"Why don't you do it yourself? Since it's your script, it should be more appropriate for you to make the soundtrack yourself. ”

Zhou Yan smiled, "I actually have a movie to make, and I will definitely not be busy at that time." If I can ask you to do this movie, I can rest assured. ”

"When is the movie going to be made?"

"Next spring."

Zhao Jiping pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "No problem, I'll take this job." ”

"Won't you read the script?"

"It's okay, what else do I have to worry about your work?"

In fact, not only because of Zhou Yan, but also because of Wu Ziniu, these two people are together, and the things they come up with will definitely not be bad, and he has nothing to worry about.

Zhou Yan smiled, "Okay, after the matter of "Farewell My Concubine" is over, I will take you to read the script again, and by the way, I will talk about the salary." ”

"Okay, no problem."

In the afternoon, the two went to the Yanjing factory and set the soundtrack with Chen Kaige, and the next thing was to record and then cut it into the film.

Taking advantage of the time in the evening, Zhou Yan took Zhao Jiping to read the script of "Tree Hole" again, and at the same time set a salary of 10,000 yuan for him.

This price is definitely not high in Zhou Yan's opinion, but it shocked Zhao Jiping, which is a big increase compared to the music he gave to other people. (End of chapter)
