Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

Kang Hui had a company meeting in Shanghai the next morning, so she needed to go to the airport to catch a flight. And Chen Qiang was cooking soup at home, and he was cooking at a critical moment, so he really couldn't leave. So Chen Minhao could only ask Wu Hongrong to drive him home.

When the car drove downstairs, Chen Minhao invited Wu Hongrong to go upstairs for soup. Wu Hongrong politely declined, and Chen Minhao went upstairs alone and went straight to his study.

Chen Minhao took down two books related to arrangement, "Basics of Music Theory" and "Musical Form and Composition Analysis" from the bookshelf, then turned on his laptop and opened Onenote.

Today, when everyone was discussing the arrangement of "Blue and White Porcelain" in the conference room of Chen Minhao's studio, Chen Minhao paid extra attention. He secretly turned on the phone's recording software, put the phone's screen down on the table, and recorded the discussions of several people.

Chen Minhao imported the audio to the computer, put on the earphones, and clicked to play.

He said to himself: "Everyone's voice is clear and perfect."

Several people discussed the process of arranging music, which can be described as arguing with each other. Although Chen Minhao put all the firepower of his brain into listening, thinking, memorizing, and studying with his heart, there are still many contents that he has not yet digested.

Compared with the others, Chen Minhao's knowledge of composition is too weak. This is like asking an elementary school student to listen to a junior high school student's class. No matter how smart that elementary school student is, he can't keep up with the rhythm of the class.

Fortunately, this clever elementary school student can study on his own and secretly study hard in private.

The reason why Chen Minhao planned to find a teacher to learn music arrangement was because of Qian Jinyun's admiration and his little vanity, but today after listening to several people's arguing, he realized that music arrangement is a very practical knowledge , is a skill that he must master.

If Chen Minhao can't master the arrangement, it means that after finishing an amazing moving job, he handed over the work to others, hoping that others can perfectly reproduce the work.

And he himself can only be like a supervisor, more precisely, like a cheerleader shouting cheers from the side, and can only hope that others will have an outstanding performance.

Chen Minhao was an orphan in his previous life, and his living expenses were limited. He couldn't afford a Switch, and he didn't know what Steam was, let alone Dota Auto Chess.

The only thing he can call entertainment is to go to the library of Shuimu University to borrow historical books. He once drew a conclusion from the vast amount of historical books:

A person can choose to trust others, but you can't put all your expectations on others, because others have no obligation to fulfill your expectations. Even if you are the emperor, he is not a courtier.

A person who puts too high expectations on others is essentially a useless evasion and evasion of himself. In this life, no one should be responsible for himself except himself.

Chen Minhao played back the discussion this afternoon at 0.8 times speed, sorted out everyone's views, and turned to Baidu for help when he encountered something he didn't quite understand, or read the books at hand.

As time passed by, fewer and fewer lights were on in the community.

Chen Qiang finally cooked the soup, and he carefully brought the bowl in, but Chen Minhao didn't notice anyone coming in at all.

Chen Qiang saw Chen Minhao who was engrossed in it, and quietly withdrew again.

An hour later, Chen Qiang saw that the light in Chen Minhao's room was still on, and he pushed the door away from the study again. He saw that Chen Minhao was still in the same posture as an hour ago.

"Brother Hao, take a rest, do you want a bowl of soup?" Chen Qiang asked in a low voice.

Chen Minhao nodded, and said casually: "Just put it aside, I'll drink it later."

Chen Qiang put the bowl on the table, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Brother Hao, you should drink it now, it is easy to get in when you do something, when you said that last time, I will collect it the next day The bowl found that you didn't drink in one gulp."

Chen Minhao nodded, drinking while reading.

At 4 pm on the third day, Chen Minhao rushed to his studio immediately after finishing the last class of the day. Today, he made an appointment with Qu Rong, Qian Jinyun and others to discuss the arrangement for the second time.

The agreed time for the meeting was 4:30, but when Chen Minhao arrived at the studio at 4:18, he found that the conference room was full.

But Qu Rong and Wu Hongrong were arguing fiercely, and when they saw Chen Minhao coming, they glared at each other, but both of them stopped talking.

Chen Minhao casually pulled a chair and sat down, only to find that Qu Rong, Qian Jinyun, Wang Jia and Li Hui had four people with panda eyes, and Qu Rong's eyes were all bloodshot.

Qu Rong nodded towards Chen Minhao, as a greeting, she took a USB flash drive from her bag and shook it and said: "Because we couldn't argue at the last meeting, so we made up all three plans this time.

Last time Qian Jinyun mentioned the sound of knocking on blue and white porcelain as an accompaniment. He contacted that person, and we also made some attempts. The conclusion is that if it is a live singing, adding such a segment is not interesting, but adding a demo , the pitch will be distorted a lot, and the loss outweighs the gain. "

Chen Minhao took the USB flash drive from Qu Rong's hand, plugged it into the computer, and said, "Okay, let's forget it. "Blue and White Porcelain" will be recorded in the studio this Saturday, so let's talk about the arrangement of the demo first. There is no urgency in live performance discussions.”

In order to distinguish the three different schemes to facilitate discussion, Chen Minhao called these three schemes A, B, and C in order.

After listening to these three different plans, Chen Minhao knew the reason for their dark circles, and they really worked hard these few days.

Plan A is a Chinese style in the traditional sense, and no bass is used in the entire arrangement. The reason why he is said to be Chinese style in the traditional sense is because traditional Chinese music such as operas and folk songs do not have the concept of bass, even rhythm instruments are high-pitched "ticks".

But a song without bass is obviously not in line with the music habits of modern people, so Chen Minhao directly ruled out option A.

For plan B, traditional Chinese instruments are mainly used, such as flute, pipa and guzheng, and a small amount of guitar is added to fill the bass, but basically each instrument is played alone, and there is almost no ensemble.

Traditional Chinese music does not have the concept of harmony, and national musical instruments are basically solo instruments.

After listening to plan B, Chen Minhao thought that plan B can be used as traditional Chinese light music, and can be used in the hall of the hall, but as the soundtrack of a song, although it is antique, it is a bit thin.

Plan C is the least Chinese-style arrangement. It widely uses modern music and vocal music as the frame of the song, and uses acoustic guitar and piano as rhythmic and vocal instruments, while ethnic instruments are only used as a supporting role, acting as filler and The role of the long melody line.

After listening to the three different plans, Wu Hongrong said preemptively: "I think plan B is better, and the ancient style is called Huaxia style."

Qu Rong did not back down and said: "But we can't change the Chinese style for the sake of the Chinese style. There is a reason why modern music arrangements are dominated by Western instruments. You can't just say that plan B is better than plan for the sake of the name of the Chinese style." C good."

Neither Wu Hongrong nor Qu Rong could convince the other. They turned their guns and looked at Chen Minhao in unison and asked, "Which direction do you think is more suitable?"
