Chapter 663 Deep and Bright Choice (1/2 Monthly Ticket)
"Ah, in a dream..."
When the harmonica played the prelude melody, the musicians who were either sitting on chairs, leaning on the bar, or holding their own instruments standing in front of the stage waiting for Yang Qian to play couldn't help but express various surprises.
expression.
Especially Jiao Hailong, who can play the harmonica, and even made a grinning expression at this time.
"How is the boss's level? Please rate him."
Tong Ning saw him, pushed him with her elbow, and asked.
They had never seen Yang Qian play the harmonica. Yang Qian learned the harmonica on his own at home. He had the experience provided by the system, so he didn't need to hire another teacher.
But when recording songs before, when there was a need to record harmonica sounds, Yang Qian always asked Jiao Hailong to come up and give it a try. If Jiao Hailong's playing didn't match the tone, he would have to hire someone outside.
Of course, this was more than half a year ago, and Yang Qian really didn't know how to play the harmonica at that time.
But today Yang Qian still gave them a big surprise. Yang Qian took out the harmonica and played it. Not only did Yang Qian not look like a beginner, he also played his new song so delicately and lingering that people could think of the song title after listening to it.
The word "sweet"!
However, Tong Ning doesn't know how to play the harmonica, so he has to ask Jiao Hailong, who plays the harmonica well.
"One word, fierce! No one else has this talent like the boss!"
Jiao Hailong gave a thumbs up with conviction.
In Jiao Hailong's view, Yang Qian's blues harmonica playing ability completely surpassed his. As for what level he had reached, Jiao Hailong really couldn't tell.
But this is enough to make him admire him to the point of admiration!
It is no exaggeration to say that my boss is definitely a chosen one in terms of music. Not only is he rich in inspiration and good at writing songs, he also learns various instruments quickly and plays them very well.
Recalling that when they first met Yang Qian, Yang Qian was still relatively young in terms of music. If he didn't talk about anything else, just when it came to musical instruments, everyone felt that they were on the same level.
But how long has it been?
In less than two years, Yang Qian had left them behind!
Fortunately, there is only one boss, and he is also the lead singer, otherwise they would really be at risk of losing their jobs...
"Sweet honey,
You smile sweetly,
Like flowers blooming in the spring breeze,
Blooming in the spring breeze..."
Ouyang Xiaoqing's sweet and clear singing voice brought Jiao Hailong and the others back from their thoughts.
It sounds great!
This song!
The wonder in everyone's eyes bloomed again.
Although the lyrics are very simple, there are no complicated sentence patterns, and there are no magnificent words. They are not at all like the poetic lyrics Yang Qian usually writes.
"Sweet Honey" is as simple as a normal speech, and it seems that Yang Qian is using Ouyang Xiaoqing's singing to explain his praise to his wife.
No, if you look at Dai Yuni's bright smile and crooked smiling eyes next to you, you can understand the meaning of the lyrics "Smiling sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze".
It’s so realistic!
But the simple lyrics also sound very interesting. The graceful and beautiful tone of Yang Qian's blues harmonica and Ouyang Xiaoqing's sweet singing voice full of youthful vitality are all refreshing. Listening to it makes people feel particularly comfortable, and their mouths can't help but grin.
"Where,
Where have I seen you..."
Gu haw
When another melody started, everyone was surprised to see that Dai Yuni took out a small handbell from somewhere and joined the playing team. (Note 1)
The tone of the handbell is relatively simple, and Dai Yuni just follows the rhythm of Yang Qian's harmonica and shakes it gently to the beat.
But it's a bit like a drum set. It's not very eye-catching, but it can embellish Yang Qian's harmonica playing very well, making the originally deep and resentful harmonica sound lively and lively.
Yes, this is a new way of playing that Yang Qian and his friends discussed and joined in before the band friends came.
Dai Yuni can only play the keyboard and not other instruments, but she can still play with the props used for bonfire parties in the hotel - she just shakes them according to the beat, it's very simple.
Originally, they just had the idea of giving it a try, but they didn't expect that the effect would be so good when hand bells were added.
This inspired Yang Qian to think that he could use hand bells to allow Dai Yuni, who was just standing aside to watch at the wedding, to participate, making their performance more lively and interesting.
Of course, there will still be improvements in the future. After Ouyang Xiaoqing finished singing "Sweet Honey", Yang Qian asked Tong Ning and Jiao Hailong to give their opinions.
"Boss, I saw that you also have a harmonica? Is it a chromatic one? Would it be better to play with that one? I feel that the tone of the blues is a bit sadder. This song may use a brighter one. It would be better to interpret it with the timbre.”
Jiao Hailong first touched his head and said to Yang Qian.
"Do you think so too?"
Yang Qian played the blues harmonica in his hand with a slightly hesitant expression.
In fact, he had felt this way for a long time, but it was not like what Jiao Hailong said. This song should be played more brightly and briskly.
The lyrics of the song "Sweet Honey" actually have connotations. It seems sweet, but in fact it is somewhat sad, because it sings about a state of love that is not available!
Your smile is so familiar, I can’t even remember where I’ve seen you before, ah, it turns out it was in a dream...
Therefore, what it praises is not the girlfriend that people fall in love with more and more, but the dream lover who is obsessed with dreams.
In this way, the tone of the blues harmonica can vividly interpret the regret behind this praise.
This is why Yang Qian clearly knows that playing this sounds inconsistent with the performance style, but he still wants to use the blues harmonica to play the feeling of the original song!
But it is a pity that Ouyang Xiaoqing is not Teresa Teng. She may have Teresa Teng's talent, but if she wants to sing sweet but not greasy, beautiful and sad emotions, Ouyang Xiaoqing still lacks the skills of countless years.
Jiao Hailong and the others have never heard what the real original singer of this song is like, so they preconceptionally think that this song should be like the one sung by Ouyang Xiaoqing, full of youth, enthusiasm and sweetness!
Of course, it cannot be said that this understanding is completely wrong. Songs are similar to literary works. There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand audiences. Different people and singing on different occasions can also bring different feelings to the song.
Considering that this song is going to be used at a wedding and in a more cheerful and lively occasion, Ouyang Xiaoqing's singing method is more suitable!
No, Dai Yuni's bright and cheerful smile is the best proof.
"Let me try changing the chromatic scale!"
Yang Qian finally put down his obsession and decided to listen to everyone's opinions.
"Boss, I think you can add some folk guitar here, but don't need the bass. Too much sound will be very confusing."
Siwen Feng, who plays bass, rejected herself.
"You can try it."
Yang Qian nodded.
"I still need drums, but I have to pick up the rhythm."
"keyboard......"
Just like the discussion in the recording studio before, everyone began to get together again and play music very immersedly.
(Note 1: I have to show you the video here. In the Easter egg chapter, you can see what it feels like to play the song "Sweet Honey" with harmonica, guitar, harmonium and hand bells - in fact, in the video
It's a footbell, just hold it in your hand
It's a handbell! The person holding the guitar behind is the teacher Zhang Xiaosong mentioned earlier, and the person playing the harmonica and shaking the handbell is Miss Yuanyuan, a very beautiful girl with eyes that can talk! They played this song so well,
