Entertaining Children

Chapter 676 Classical and Popular

"Of course, my boyfriend will feel distressed!" Although Sun Tingting blushed a little, she still nodded and admitted.

"It's okay, I still have stock!" Xiao Yao held Sun Tingting's hand and said, "But I'm not a professional violinist. I'm not sure about the kind of violin solo. Most of them are multi-instrument concertos, either piano or electronic music. , either New Age, or pop electronic, there is basically no pure classical symphony.”

"Duo'er learned to play classical violin, but this concert is not limited to be all classical." Lu Siyuan said with a smile, "I have agreed with Duo'er to put your "Faded" and "" in the performance repertoire. Neither piece is classical."

"That's good!" Xiao Yao laughed.

"But you took out all the stocks, will there be no works in our future combination?" Sun Tingting asked.

"Your combination?" Lu Siyuan asked in surprise, "You two still want to form a combination?"

"Uh~" Sun Tingting choked, but still nodded, "Yes, a few days ago we discussed to set up a combination of violin and piano performance!"

"Yo, that's quite interesting." Lu Siyuan smiled, and asked deliberately, "Why not a combination of violin and guitar, I remember Bayi said that he likes guitar more than piano!"

"Uncle Lu, the combination of guitar and violin, doesn't it feel a bit nondescript?" Xiao Yao spread his hands helplessly and said with a wry smile, "And I don't have any music for violin and guitar."

"Okay, let's not talk about these things!" After the joke, Lu Siyuan waved his hand and said, "You agreed to write the song?"

"Well, I agree!" Xiao Yao said, "Since you said that the two songs are a little short, then add two more. But let's make a point in advance, the violin does not dominate these two pieces, at most it is about the same proportion as the piano. It sounds like it might be mainly piano. Is this really all right?"

"You're a guest performer, it's no problem at all to play a few pieces featuring your piano, and let Duo'er cooperate with you to perform a few pieces for a while!" Lu Siyuan said.

"As a neighbor of Lao Sun's family, I really believe in your talent," Lu Siyuan said again, "But as the music director of this concert, I still have to review the pieces you put forward, and I don't rule out yours." There is a possibility that the song will be killed by me!"

"It doesn't matter," Xiao Yao said confidently, "If you promise to let "Faded" and "" be the performance pieces, the two pieces I put out will definitely catch your eyes!"

"Okay, then I'll wait and see!" Lu Siyuan looked at the watch on his wrist, "Since it's in stock, it shouldn't take long. Let's rehearse first and watch your song in an hour. Is there enough time?"

"Enough!" Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Give me a pen and paper, it will take less than an hour!"

The two pieces Xiao Yao prepared were pieces he had heard in his previous life in his head, and the length was only over three minutes long. Even writing scores for different instruments took less than an hour.

"Forget that you are a memory maniac." Lu Siyuan laughed, "Since it is in stock, it is equivalent to dictation."

Lu Siyuan called the staff of the concert hall to bring Xiao Yao blank scores and pencils. Xiao Yao wasn't afraid to be interrupted, and he didn't have to avoid it, so he sat in the auditorium in the rehearsal hall and silently wrote the scores of two pieces he had heard in his previous life.

An hour later, Lu Siyuan suspended Sun Tingting and the orchestra's rehearsal, and asked Xiao Yao to collect the score. Xiao Yao had already written it, and handed over a stack of written scores to Lu Siyuan.

"So much?" Seeing Xiao Yao handing over a thick stack, Lu Siyuan asked in surprise, "How much did you write?"

"Two songs!" Xiao Yao laughed, "I also wrote out the performance scores of several different instruments, so that it will be more convenient for everyone to practice and rehearse."

"You've made all the arrangements!" Lu Siyuan said in shock.

"Bayi's music works are basically arranged by myself!" Sun Tingting smiled, and her tone was not without pride.

"Are you planning to start practicing right now?" Lu Siyuan asked Xiao Yao.

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "One of the songs has elements of electronic music in it, and I have to make some other rhythms of electronic music!"

"Of course, the premise is that you are satisfied after reading these two pieces of music." Xiao Yao pointed to the stack of music scores.

"That's right!" Lu Siyuan looked down.

"Have you ever been to Croatia?" Just after reading the title of the first song, Lu Siyuan looked up at Xiao Yao curiously.

"I have been to many countries in Europe!" Xiao Yao shrugged, but did not answer directly.

"It's great to be a photographer!" Lu Siyuan thought that Xiao Yao's words were an affirmative answer, and made a comment with a smile, then lowered his head and continued to watch.

While looking at Xiao Yao's score, Lu Siyuan unconsciously lit the fingers of one hand, as if he was playing a piano that didn't exist.

Lu Siyuan is a world-class violinist, and his musical accomplishment is also world-class. The instrument he is best at is the violin, but he is not the only instrument that knows the violin, which is why he was invited by Sun Zhihao to be the music director of Sun Tingting's concert.

After reading the scores of several instruments in Xiao Yao's first piece, Lu Siyuan closed his eyes, as if he was recalling the melody of the piece he had just seen.

After a long time, Lu Siyuan opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Yao with complicated eyes and said, "When that incident ended, you should have just been born, right? When did you go to Croatia? What did you see there? "

"Damn, isn't it? Is it so powerful?" Xiao Yao burst into a foul language in his heart in surprise.

The previous life song that Xiao Yao took out was related to the Croatian War. This world also had the Croatian War, and the time was also in the 1990s of the last century. Xiao Yao never thought that just a name would make Lu Siyuan think of this matter.

"Well~ I didn't see anything when I went to Croatia, but I heard people talking about it, and then I found some resources to learn about it, and then I wrote this song!" Xiao Yao could only make up the reason road.

The comparison between the Croatian War in this world and the previous life was a few years later than in the previous life. When that war happened, Xiao Yao was not born yet, and when the war ended, Xiao Yao was just born. Xiao Yao can't say that he went to Croatia more than ten years later and saw the ruins after the war, so he can only say that he saw it from the materials and then wrote it out of feeling.

"What are you talking about?" Sun Tingting asked a little puzzled.

"This song may have to be practiced tomorrow, let Bayi tell you about that tonight!" Lu Siyuan said to Sun Tingting, "The band, I will talk to them later."

"Then this song has passed?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Lu Siyuan nodded, and looked down at the score of another song.

After seeing the same name, Lu Siyuan looked up at Xiao Yao again. But this time it was not curiosity, but a smile and said: "Piano rhythm? The song just now is dominated by the piano, and the piano runs through the whole song. This time, the piano is used as the name. You really plan to focus on yourself. ?”

"You both said you don't mind!" Xiao Yao spread his hands, "I'm a guest performer, it's normal for Duoer to cooperate with me for a few songs for a while!"

"Okay!" Lu Siyuan nodded and continued to read.

This time, after reading the entire score, Lu Siyuan closed his eyes and thought about it, and then opened his eyes and said to Xiao Yao: "I don't have much contact with this electronic music, but I feel that the rhythm of electronic music is in this piece. It should be very important. For this piece, I have to wait for you to make the electronic part and listen to it before I can judge whether it is suitable."

"Yes!" Xiao Yao said, "I can bring you the electronic music accompaniment when I come over tomorrow."

"What's more, you are better at electronic music than I am. I want to entrust you with the rehearsal of this song and that song ""!" Lu Siyuan laughed again, "How about it? , is there any interest in challenging the entire symphony orchestra?"

"Forget about the whole symphony orchestra." Xiao Yao smiled, "I don't use wind instruments in these few songs, but if it's just a string orchestra, I used to do the string version of "Faded" with a mini string orchestra. We have worked together, so it shouldn’t be a big problem. But if you really dare to give me the rehearsal of some songs, I would like to be in charge of the three songs except "Faded."

"Yo, you're taking the initiative to add burden to yourself!" Lu Siyuan laughed.

"Since you said that you don't mind me being the main piece of these songs, then I want to follow my own ideas." Xiao Yao smiled.

"Do you have other ideas?" Lu Siyuan asked.

"Really!" Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Although "Faded" was written by me, the version adapted by Duo'er will be used in the concert, so I won't interfere. I really have some ideas for the other three songs .”

"Oh, tell me," Lu Siyuan asked with a smile, "Did you come up with something else?"

"For those three songs, I want to add a drum kit, electric guitar and other modern band configurations on the spot." Xiao Yao said, "There are also those two songs with electronic sounds. I don’t intend to play the accompaniment, but play the piano and operate the electronic pads on the spot.”

"That's all right. It's not like some popular performers haven't done this before, but playing the piano while operating the electronic pad?" Lu Siyuan laughed, "You really have an idea! You can do it Is it?"

"I can cooperate with my mouth, hands, and feet, and play three instruments at the same time. It shouldn't be a problem to operate two things at the same time with my left and right hands apart!" Xiao Yao said.

Lu Siyuan remembered that Xiao Yao had played three musical instruments at the same time in "The Voice" back then, and in the art examination of Shenxi, he used to separate his left and right hands while playing on the pad while writing calligraphy. If he wanted to replace calligraphy with a piano, Xiao Yao should be able to operate it. It is indeed possible, so he nodded with a smile: "Okay, I look forward to seeing how you play!"

"I can see it." Lu Siyuan turned back to Sun Tingting and said, "Bayi is trying to make you a classical and popular music performer."

"Classic enhances the quality and style, and fashion increases popularity and popularity. Isn't it good to combine the two?" Xiao Yao laughed.

In terms of musical attainments, Lu Siyuan is definitely much better than the current Sun Tingting, but in terms of popularity, Lu Siyuan is not even a fraction of Sun Tingting, a second-generation star who has not officially debuted in theory. Not to mention that Sun Tingting still wants to enter the showbiz as an actor in the future, even if she only develops in music, Sun Tingting never thought of becoming a pure classical musician with high performances.

Xiao Yao understood Sun Tingting's thoughts, so he naturally wanted to help her in this regard, otherwise he would not have proposed any music performance group with her. From the aspect of music, Xiao Yao himself never thought of becoming, and it is impossible to be considered a pure classical musician now.

"Okay, okay." Lu Siyuan said with a smile, "Duo'er's future development direction includes herself, her parents, and your boyfriend. I don't need to worry about it. As the music director, I am only responsible for the four The musicality and artistry of a concert would be great."

Everyone discussed here, and the rehearsal time in the morning was almost over. Even if the pads are operated on the spot, some music materials need to be recorded into the pads and other equipment in advance. Xiao Yao not only has to produce music materials for the electronic music part, but also is responsible for contacting a modern band. With a mission in hand, Xiao Yao did not participate in Sun Tingting's rehearsal of classical repertoire with the orchestra in the afternoon, but went to Qi Jia's studio in his home.

Qijia Studio has a music department, a business of helping people record songs, and a group of musicians who often cooperate. For the modern band needed for Sun Tingting's concert this time, Xiao Yao planned to find someone from the cooperative musicians of Qi Jia's studio.

Although Xiao Yao's first album was recorded in Qijia studio, and he has cooperated with many co-musicians in the studio, after all, he has been in Shanghai for three years, and the co-musicians have not only changed in personnel, but also For those musicians who are still there, the level and status have also changed in the three years. After Xiao Yao went to the studio, instead of looking for someone by himself, he told Xiao Siqi about the matter and asked Xiao Siqi to help recommend someone.

Of course, Xiao Siqi attached great importance to the future daughter-in-law's first concert in China, and the joint performance of his son and future daughter-in-law. After hearing Xiao Yao's intentions, he immediately put down the matter at hand, and discussed in detail with Xiao Yao the situation of some first-class musicians he was familiar with and was sure to be able to come forward to invite them, without limiting the scope to cooperation with the studio within this condition.

The modern orchestra plays a supporting role in the performance of the three pieces, as do the musicians in the Philharmonic Orchestra. Xiao Yao didn't mean that he didn't pay attention, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and a musician who was too big was not very suitable for Xiao Yao, and it was easy to steal the limelight from the two protagonists. Therefore, Xiao Yao didn't want any big-name musicians that Xiao Siqi knew personally, but only selected a few musicians who were strong but not well-known from the musicians he had worked with in the studio.

Xiao Yao only asked his father to help pick people, and did not let his father come forward. He still contacted these musicians one by one and invited them to participate in the live performance of Sun Tingting's concert. The result was very smooth, and all these musicians agreed.

Qijia Studio has a folk music performance group "Women's Orchestra" that combines folk music and modern pop music. In the live performances of many repertoires, the "Women's Orchestra" performed together with a modern band. Some of the musicians selected by Xiao Yao have performed with the "Women's Band", and some of them have heard of those who have not performed together. They are all very interested in the mode of combining modern bands and traditional Chinese folk music, and they all have high evaluations.

They all knew that it was Xiao Yao who came up with the idea of ​​combining folk music and modern bands for performances. This time I heard that Xiao Yao wanted to combine the modern band and the classical band to perform together, so naturally he would not refuse. Two of them had taken other jobs, and the musicians who couldn't match their time even planned to turn down their original jobs and come to Xiao Yao's side.

After solving the problem of the modern band, Xiao Yao didn't stay in Qi Jia's studio for too long. After saying goodbye to my father, I rushed home and went to the recording studio in the basement of my home to make electronic music materials for two songs.
