Chapter 59 You can just find inspiration!
"What's wrong with you today? Why did you think of finding Professor Wang early in the morning? Is there anything urgent?" Ye Siying couldn't help asking curiously when she saw Chen Chufan.
Chen Chufan scratched his head embarrassedly. He felt that for a newcomer, he suddenly had the idea of writing songs, which seemed a little too ambitious. So he felt a little embarrassed. However, he didn't hide anything when facing Ye Siying: "Didn't Xiaoxi ask me to think of a program to perform at the school anniversary party? I just want to write a song by myself and then perform at the party. So I thought about going to Professor Wang early in the morning to ask him what he needed to pay attention to and what he needed to learn! After all, it's not long since the party is gone, so I have to prepare early. By the way, don't tell Xiaoxi first."
After hearing Chen Chufan's answer, Ye Siying was slightly lost. As Han Xiaoxi's best friend, of course she knew that Han Xiaoxi had always wanted to be a singer. Although her family strongly opposed it, Han Xiaoxi still insisted on choosing to study in the music department. Perhaps it was this kind of persistence in dreams. Chen Chufan decided to write songs and then sing them, which should be considered as a way to suit her own preferences. If Han Xiaoxi knew, Chen Chufan decided to write songs and sing them at the party, how excited would he be?
And what about myself? Perhaps the piano piece I played for myself when I first met should be my best memory.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that the girl in front of her was a little lost, Chen Chufan was a little confused.
Chen Chufan's words made Ye Siying come to her senses. She smiled gently and said lightly: "It's nothing. I just think you are very competent as a boyfriend. I'm considering helping my girlfriend continue her dreams. This idea is pretty good, you have to work hard! I support you on behalf of Xiaoxi! Let's go, let's go."
After Ye Siying finished speaking, he walked first, and Chen Chufan quickly followed her, walked to her side, and walked side by side with her.
"By the way, Xiaoxi asked me in the morning what was wrong? I didn't even think about whether you could reveal it to me!" Chen Chufan asked while walking on the road.
"I'm sorry, Chen Chufan, I'm not your love consultant. If you ask me about music, I will answer it. If you want to discuss emotional matters, go and discuss with your Xiaoxi yourself!" Ye Siying said with a chuckling.
The two came to Professor Wang's office. Professor Wang was writing foreshadowing in the office. Chen Chufan's self-investigation obviously surprised Professor Wang.
"You should have classes this morning!" Professor Wang glanced at the second-year course schedule of the history department that was stuck on the wall. Since Chen Chufan decided to join Professor Wang's disciple, this course schedule written by Chen Chufan himself has been stuck on the wall of Professor Wang's desk.
"Well, because of some questions, I skipped the class." Chen Chufan was very calm. Anyway, he knew that Professor Wang had always been unwilling to transfer the department, so he would not care whether he had skipped the history department class. This is the case. Professor Wang did not comment on Chen Chufan's skipping class, but immediately asked with concern: "What? Is there anything I can't understand about the textbooks I gave you?"
"No, I have basically finished reading it. If you don't understand something, Ye Siying will also answer it. I'm here to ask you for something else!" Then Chen Chufan told Professor Wang again what he thought.
"So that's the case. I asked you why you came to me, this old man early in the morning." Professor Wang smiled and turned to Ye Siying, who had been standing aside without saying a word: "Siying, what's the matter with you looking for me? Is there any problem?"
Ye Siying smiled softly and glanced at Chen Chufan who was slightly embarrassed: "Old Wang, I'm fine. It's Chen Chufan who dared not come to you alone, so he would take me to accompany him."
"What? Am I that scary?" Professor Wang asked quipped at Chen Chufan.
Chen Chufan just smiled crampedly and did not answer.
"Actually, if you really understand all the teaching materials I gave you, it's not difficult to compose your own music!" Professor Wang said directly without teasing the embarrassing Chen Chufan. After that, he looked at Chen Chufan, who was still confused, and continued, "Let's do this, let's do a test first, Siying, you can do it too."
After saying that, Professor Wang opened the drawer of the desk and took out a pocket radio from it. Then he signaled Chen Chufan and Ye Siying to sit opposite him, and each gave them a pen and a piece of paper.
"I'll play a piece of music now. After you two have finished listening, you will write down the score of this piece of music!" After saying that, Professor Wang pressed the playback button of the playback phone.
It is a fast-paced melody, and it is accompanied by harmony, but for Chen Chufan, it is really not difficult. The basic five-line score and simple score have long been familiar with it, and his current abnormal memory has made him completely ease in dealing with such small tests. With only one minute of playing the music, he had already recorded the score of this melody and handed it to Professor Wang who was watching the two.
"So fast?" It was obvious that Chen Chufan's speed surprised Professor Wang. Although Professor Wang recognized Chen Chufan's talent, he knew that some of Chen Chufan's basic knowledge about music theory was not perfect enough. Although he had been indoctrinated for more than a month, he did not think that such a short time would really allow Chen Chufan to fully master this knowledge. So he never expected that Chen Chufan would complete this small test faster than Ye Siying. And he had only listened to it once. Normally, he had to listen to it two to three times, right? This kid wouldn't be writing randomly! Professor Wang was still thinking so.
But after carefully reading the answers handed over by Chen Chufan, Professor Wang was once again shocked by the musical talent shown by the boy in front of him. The record was quite perfect, and even the pauses of notes at some point were fine without errors. What a strong sense of music and a solid foundation would be needed to achieve it? Is it true that someone can be a genius and can fully master this knowledge by just over a month of study?
"Have you heard this song before?" Professor Wang asked with some disobedience.
"No!" Chen Chufan answered honestly.
"Oh, there are indeed geniuses in this world!" Professor Wang shook his head and sighed: "Chen Chufan, I'm a little embarrassed to let you be my student!"
Professor Wang's words made Chen Chufan very embarrassed. He quickly said modestly: "Old Wang, don't say that. Wherever you go, you are also my enlightenment teacher!"
"Siying, don't write it anymore, show it to me!" Professor Wang smiled bitterly, then spoke to Ye Siying.
After reading Ye Siying's records, it was actually quite good. It was about half of the records and the accuracy rate was quite high. If it weren't for reading Chen Chufan's answer first, Professor Wang might have been very pleased, but he was afraid of comparisons for anything.
"Not bad, all are good!" Professor Wang praised. "Actually, Chen Chufan, if you just want to write a song instead of a large-scale performance, you are now fully capable of compose music by yourself. In fact, composing music is not as complicated as you imagined, especially popular songs you young people like, which require some basic music theory knowledge. For example, acoustics, musical styling, polyphonics and orchestration methods, these are also recognized as four things that you must master when learning to compose. And these contents are all included in the textbooks I give you."
"The other is that you need a good sense of music and pitch. For example, when you are inspired, hum a melody and you can record it immediately. You already have these qualities! So what you need to pay attention to is to grasp the style of the song, the ideas you want to express, and some essential inspiration. You can invite Ye Siying to work with you, and the inspiration for two people to communicate more about the creation will also be easily inspired. Of course, the first time composing is inevitably due to experience, and there may be some flaws in the orchestration or chords. You can come to me and I will help you with it. As for the lyrics, you can only find a way out by yourself. Old man, I can't help you!" Professor Wang concluded finally.
"Thank you, Professor Wang!" Chen Chufan thanked him devoutly.
It seems that Chen Chufan didn't get anything after coming to Professor Wang for advice this time. But in fact, this is not the case. Because he gained confidence in Professor Wang's unconcealed affirmation. Perhaps this made him more happy than some minor instructions. What's more, Professor Wang also took the initiative to promise that he would help him modify the song he composed, which would save him from detours.
So when Chen Chufan walked out of Professor Wang's office, he was in a very happy mood. Chen Chufan should also feel happy if he could get the recognition of professionals.
"Where are you going now?" Ye Siying asked Chen Chufan with a spring breeze on his face.
"How about going to the music classroom now and starting our creation?" Chen Chufan was full of confidence at this time, and of course he wanted to start his own creation journey immediately.
"It's your creation, not ours!" Ye Siying said lightly. Seeing Chen Chufan's happy look, Ye Siying's mood was a little inexplicably depressed. She didn't know why she had such an emotion? Could it be that his first song was not for herself? Thinking of this, Ye Siying couldn't help but blush. She seemed to have no idea that she should have had such an idea!
"Old Wang said that when we create together, the inspiration can be richer! So of course we have to come together. Don't you want to help me, right?" Chen Chufan, the happy man did not notice the girl's depressed mood, and said with a happy face.
In the end, Ye Siying accompanied Chen Chufan to the familiar music classroom. Then, she started a game of staring at each other for a long time.
After a long silence, Chen Chufan said with some annoyance: "Where is the inspiration? Where has our inspiration gone? Why haven't we come yet?"
Ye Siying gave Chen Chufan a angrily glance. She discovered for the first time that this big boy had such a lazy side. "What do you think is inspiration? A lot of weeds on the roadside are grabbing? Didn't you suddenly have some insights or inspire through external objects? Can you get it if you want to have it? That inspiration is too valuable!"
After Ye Siying finished speaking, she ignored Chen Chufan, but walked to the piano and sat in front of the familiar piano. Thinking of the feelings that could not be waving in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. Then a little bit of grief began to echo in the spacious classroom.
"What a sad melody, but unfortunately it only has a small piece, but it can be recorded, maybe it can be used!" When Ye Siying finished playing a short piece of melody that she casually interpreted, Chen Chufan took out a paper and pen and recorded it quickly.
Chapter completed!
