Just thinking with the brain, it is difficult to imagine how this is done.

Four guitar chords can play a variety of popular songs; what is even more commendable is that after the arrangement, under the different combinations of chords, as well as different rhythms, the interpretations are different. style of. I vaguely feel that they are very similar and somewhat different, but I can't tell why. This feeling is really too subtle and difficult to describe in words.

But Renly did just that.

A light flashed in Timsey's mind: Why are people getting bored with modern pop music faster and faster, with singles chart popularity coming and going, and the pace of change so fast? The fast-paced life and daily irritability of the fast food era force people to look for more new things, which is one of the important reasons.

Another reason is because of the current popular songs, the arrangement is getting easier and simpler, there are less and less things worth recalling, and there are fewer and fewer melodies left in the mind. The speed of elimination and replacement is naturally faster and faster.

As Renly just demonstrated. Any popular song can be performed with four chords, and then through the change of rhythm, it becomes a brand new song.

A simple example can illustrate this point. From 2015 to 2017, the number of music plagiarism cases in the United States has skyrocketed, and top pop singers such as Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Sam Smith (sah) have Allegedly involved, they both finally reached a settlement with the plaintiff, writing the plaintiff into the ranks of the original creators and sharing the royalties together.

In other words, it is actually an acknowledgement of the so-called "learning" to some extent.

That's not to say they're copying intentionally, but that's how pop music in general is going. The chords and arrangements are getting simpler and simpler, and the situation of similarities and convergence is inevitable. Inadvertently, the melody that used to be "deja vu" has become the source of inspiration for my own creation, and I didn't even have time to discover it. The boundaries between "borrowing", "paying tribute" and "plagiarism" are blurring. This trend has started since the late 1980s, and the decline and weakness of the entire music market is not caused by a day.

However, using only four chords to interpret popular songs is not as simple as it sounds. It tests the singer's background in arrangement and creation, as well as the singer's understanding of music and chords. Seeing Renly's ease and ease, Timsey was amazed.

Suddenly, Timsey showed a big smile. The existence of the album "Don Quixote" is contrary to the overall situation of the music market.

Although Renly just said it very lightly, as if "your bones" are just a combination of four chords, but after listening to the entire album carefully, I know that Renly's use of chords in the creative process is not only very cumbersome but also extensive. And the arrangement also always follows the essence of the melody.

Even tracks with relatively simple chords like "Old Pines" and "Los Angeles" are no exception. The choice and use of chords are beyond the scope of the four chords just now. Should it be simple or should it be complicated, not cutting corners at all and rushing for quick success, which reminds people of the 1950s, when folk songs reached their peak and rock and roll began to sprout.

What's more, every lyrics on the album are carefully crafted to complement the melody and the musical symbols. This is what is truly commendable and the core idea of ​​the golden age of music.

Interesting, really interesting. Timsey's interest in the "singer/actor" in front of him is getting stronger and stronger.

"Most pop songs can do it. But Steve Onder can't, his music needs sixteen chords and more." Renly shrugged and chuckled, "So , creation is not as simple as imagined, which is of course, but it is not as difficult as imagined.”

Having said that, the scene was already in a state of panic, and everyone stared at Renly in astonishment, unable to believe their ears.

Most people don't think as far as Timsey, but have a strange feeling: If Renly said it was such an understatement, can you try it yourself? I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but for a while I couldn't say it.

"When I saw your performance before, you all played guitar, but in the album, the arrangement of songs is very complex and magnificent, and you can even hear the use of many classical instruments. Excuse me, is your favorite instrument the guitar? ? Or something else?"

This question is relatively professional, not simply chasing idols, but really rooted in the music itself, which is also mixed with a lot of professional knowledge, which is not seen in ordinary fan meetings. It can be seen that everyone present today is indeed a music lover.

"Well, actually, I'm studying piano." Renly felt that there was no need to lie and admitted it frankly, and there was an exclamation from the audience.

From the performance of "Cleopatra" in the pioneer village, to the street performance of "Ophelia", and then to the live creation of "The Ellen Show", Renly has always been a guitar in the world, even the performance just now. in this way. He always seems to be able to evolve the melody into a guitar version, with a unique style and temperament, giving the melody a dashing and casual bard's wanderlust.

But now, Renly said, his main attack is not the guitar? But the piano?

"Show it! Show it!" Someone shouted from the audience, and the voice was extremely lively, one after another.

Before Renly refused, Neil stepped onto the stage with the keyboard, looking like

It had been premeditated for a long time. Looking at Renly's helpless smile, the whistles and roars of the scene were rising and falling, and Neil had an innocent expression on his face, as if he knew nothing.

Renly was dumbfounded and joked, "Isn't today an album audition meeting? Why do I think something is not right now?" This made everyone laugh, but the expectant eyes did not flinch at all.

Neil set up the keyboard, and someone in the audience asked again, "The song 'Believe it' was created by you using the piano, right?" Then another question was added, "Excuse me, 'Love is crazy' Is the movie's ending theme 'Believe in Belief'?"

"Yes, also, yes," Renly replied succinctly, "in fact, the song was written in London. The performance was in trouble, and it was a feeling to write 'I firmly believe not. Doubt', but unexpectedly became the link of performance. So the director begged for the past."

Looking at Neil's eager eyes, Renly did not refuse any more, and sat down in front of the piano, "No matter who asked the question just now, thank you for bringing up this topic." After speaking, Renly laughed to himself.

This thoughtless sentence left most of the people at the scene confused, even Neil, Stanley and the others were no exception. Later, a group of loyal fans such as William leaked the answer. Next week, "Crazy Love" is about to land at the Toronto Film Festival, and then it will be released in North America. Now the pre-publicity has started one after another.

Renly was just thanking him for promoting the movie. However, is such an obscure propaganda method really effective? It really makes me cry.

Up to the point, it's the best to understand, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand. Without further explanation, Renly changed the subject, "So, are you ready? We are now entering the next round of performances, so let's start with 'Believe in Belief'!" For the interview, Lanly said: The ceremony is not exclusive, and there is no special idea. Since we have talked about this, we will naturally continue to perform. Tonight, everything is about music, which is good.

Unexpectedly, Renly pressed the first key tones, and the audience under the stage protested, expressing their hope that Renly could show his hand, and Timsey's voice was even more abrupt, "The best song!" Eli's musical heritage, he's getting more and more curious now, just like Nora Jones.

This is the case for the American entertainment industry as a whole now, with fewer and fewer professional graduates, and more and more grassroots artists. This is not a bad thing. It encourages everyone who has dreams to realize their dreams bravely, and some artists who are not from academy are more imaginative and talented. Cobain is just one of the ways. However, the overall situation of art has become uneven because of this kind of national entertainment. It is also an indisputable fact that the average level has declined and the entertainment has been soaring to the death.

Timsey's shout was quickly supported, and William, Hope and others next to him shouted loudly, "Good song! Good song!" The deafening sound, after the previous 40 minutes of catharsis, could not help but Contaminated with a hint of hoarseness, it added a touch of tragic and solemnity.

tragic. This adjective is really happy when used at this moment. The corners of Renly's mouth rose involuntarily. No refusal, no promise, to be precise, Renly did not answer, but responded with action.

The fingertips are suspended above the keyboard. Strictly speaking, the piano and the keyboard are still different, and even the touch of the fingertips is different. But it brought back memories of Renly's childhood.

The aristocratic childhood made his childhood full of restraints and depression, even cold, and he could hardly wait to get out of that prison; but it is undeniable that the immersion and perennial nurturing of art such as painting, sculpture, drama, etc. Laid the foundation for his dream to come true. So is the acting, and so is the music.

What the piano represents is elegance, tranquility, and heritage. People can glimpse the long history of Europe through the past of piano music. Small meets big. This kind of precipitation is reflected in Renly's performance, singing, writing, and even the behavior of daily life, which has created the unique Renly-Hall.

The fingertips fell, and the clear and thick piano keys sounded, one, two beeps, and then a rest, followed by a rush of clear spring water, galloping down, flowing, flowing in one go, running wildly, that passionate emotion Hidden in each musical symbol, it seems that countless golden light spots rise at the same time, rushing around and gusting winds, but with the richness and coldness of the forest, tranquil, but high-spirited, elegant, and romantic.

"Improvisational Fantasia (fa)" by Friedrich Chopin (fr-chopin). 71
