Chapter 328 Cooperation with Teacher Lan Mulin (3/3 Monthly Pass)
Yang Qian's current music library has more than 100 songs in stock. Although a large part of them are not suitable for him to sing, there are also a large part of them that are not of high quality and will not be available to Yang Qian for the time being.
But these songs actually provide Yang Qian with many samples for learning and reference to a certain extent.
Through studying them, Yang Qian discovered that the more classic songs become, the less complicated their arrangements will be!
Of course, not complicated does not mean simple.
The orchestration inside is very knowledgeable!
For the same melody, the effect you get when you play it on instrument A may be completely different from what you get when you play it on instrument B.
Although it is not necessarily bad, even if it is not the same wonderful performance, there will be different feelings due to the different performance venues or the audience's different moods of appreciation.
When Hopper covers this song, the environment of the live performance is obviously different from the MV. The simple orchestration may be more able to create a sense of high-end and atmosphere!
Especially Huo Bo's voice, which is obviously deeper, more transparent and louder than the original one. When Yang Qian heard him singing, he even wanted to help him change the arrangement.
However, this job, because Yang Qian has very high requirements for himself, the workload seems a bit heavy!
Yang Qian told the truth that his arrangement efficiency was not very high, and he was not sure that he would be able to complete the arrangement in less than three hours before putting away his mobile phone.
what to do?
Yang Qian was thinking about whether to give up the idea of adapting the song and go back to his previous plan to help Hobo see if there was anything he could improve on in his singing.
At this time, in the student dressing room (they did not go to the contestant waiting room anymore, so as not to affect other people's preparations), the election administrator came over with a headset.
"Hopper, it's your turn to go to rehearsal."
The lady informed me.
"Oh, okay! Then Brother Qian, I'll go to the rehearsal first and come back to you later."
Hopper stood up quickly.
Rehearsal is no longer a trial process and walking around the venue. Starting yesterday, the contestants' rehearsals are all about rehearsing the songs they want to sing and practicing coordination with the band's teachers to avoid the situation where the band's teachers don't find the tune they need.
.
Yang Qian was at the side, his face moved slightly.
He thought of the orchestra's teacher Lan Mulin. Lan Mulin was the orchestra's director and the music director of this show.
Although the previous instructors praised Yang Qian for his good arrangement of Dong Huanyu, in fact, Lan Mulin's arrangement ability is far better than Yang Qian's now!
Several students in front of me who had relatively good skills and knew how to communicate all took the opportunity to discuss with Lan Mulin and change the arrangement to what they liked better.
It is even said that in another music show, the pianist was not Lan Mulin, but because he never played the appropriate key for the singer, Lan Mulin was later replaced. He immediately cooperated with the singer, and the effect was extraordinary.
good!
Yang Qian doesn't dare to claim to be invincible after learning half a bucket of water. At least in the field of arranging, he has only just scratched the surface.
Compared with Lan Mulin, his only advantage may be that he has better ideas and a flexible mind... For example, Yang Qian had a good idea for adapting the song "I Don't Want to Be Silent".
"Hopper, I'll go with you."
Yang Qian came to his senses, stood up and walked quickly towards Huo Bo, who had already walked to the door with the young lady.
"Isn't this...isn't this good?"
When the election control girl saw Yang Qian coming over, she immediately became embarrassed.
How can any student watch each other's rehearsal?
Watching someone else's rehearsal is equivalent to knowing the other person's song selection. If there is a PK session later, the party who knows the other person's details may gain the upper hand and make targeted song selections!
This is not impossible, because this year’s blind audition has an extra step to save!
Players who lose in the PK session have a chance to be passed over by other instructors. Unless there are no instructors to ask for it, or in another team with full instructors, if another student loses the PK again, they may be eliminated.
disuse……
For example, if Yang Qian is defeated by others in PK, and is saved by Liao Changbin, and then goes to PK Huo Bo, then Yang Qian, who knows Huo Bo's song selection, will be more confident and make targeted song selections.
Even if the possibility of this situation occurring is very small, as long as it exists, it will affect the fair competition among players.
"It doesn't matter. Brother Qian came over to check it for me. He knows what song I want to sing."
Hobo quickly explained to the election control girl.
"Forget it, let Teacher Yang go there, Hobo himself agreed!"
Another election control girl was smart enough to let her go.
"Sorry for causing trouble to you."
Yang Qian nodded apologetically to them, and then walked to the stage with Hobo.
"Hey, why are Yang Qian here? It's your rehearsal? Isn't it... a player named Huo Bo?"
When Lan Mulin saw Yang Qian, he even flipped through the music scores on the shelf. He was even more impressed by Yang Qian. Hobo ignored Yang Qian even as he walked beside him.
"Hopper's here!"
Yang Qian smiled and pointed at Hobo. He walked to the area where the band teacher was and then told him his purpose of coming.
"Teacher Lan, Hobo said he wanted me to help him check out the song he was going to sing. Then I thought, Teacher Lan, you should have a performance plan here, so I wanted to come over and have a look and learn from it."
Yang Qian's words were very modest, but Lan Mulin knew that there was no need for him to learn from him.
"You kid, please don't fool me. You're just studying. It's not like I don't know your level. Why are you so polite? Come on, tell me what ideas you have for adapting it! We will cooperate with you!"
Lan Mulin pointed at Yang Qian and laughed.
He didn't care. With Yang Qian's help, they could save a little effort.
After all, as a band, they have to be responsible for the accompaniment of so many players, and it is very energy-consuming to change them one by one.
"My idea is actually not very mature... The main reason is that the original intro of this song is a bit complicated. Can it be simplified a little? The bass part of Hopper's voice is deep and thick. Can it be done with electric guitar and bass...
"
Yang Qian was polite before speaking out his thoughts.
"Where's the jazz drum?"
Lan Mulin really had no plan. He wanted to wait for Hobo to arrive and then discuss the adaptation with him, but what Yang Qian said made him couldn't help but simulate it in his mind.
"It's not necessary before. In this sentence, slowly intervene..."
Yang Qian pointed to the fifth line of lyrics, which is a point of emotional progression.
"Are you trying to create a blues feel?"
Lan Mulin is indeed a great master in the industry. As soon as he heard Yang Qian's description, he had a rough arrangement concept.
The song "Don't Want to Be Silent" was originally a combination of lyricism and rock!
Yang Qian changed it to a lyrical style with a touch of blues, which is more lyrical!
But Lan Mulin likes this kind of adaptation, it’s more interesting than rock music!
"Yes, I think Hopper's voice will have more obvious emotional tension. This kind of adaptation may be more suitable for his performance."
Yang Qian nodded.
"Yang Qian, I remember you play guitar? Is an electric guitar okay?"
Lan Mulin didn't say whether this change was okay, but asked him instead.
"Can!"
"Then you come with Li Jun and give it a try first. Huo Bo, go on stage and sing and see the effect!"
Lan Mulin took command.
Li Jun is the bassist.
Although the band has a guitarist, Yang Qian came up with the idea after all, so Lan Mulin asked him to be responsible for the melody, lead vocals, and live arrangement. Give it a try!
Hopper stood on the stage in a daze, and now he still has a strong sense of unreality...
