Chapter 636 "The New Drunken Concubine"(1/2)
Chapter 636 "The new imperial concubine is drunk"
"She is a touch of the setting sun
Think more, think more, who knows how to appreciate it?
He has a window with blue clouds
Just waiting, waiting, for someone to share it with..."
Li Yaoqin carefully checked the lyrics of the song "Itch", and based on the score she just saw at a glance, she unknowingly matched the lyrics to the imaginary melody.
Compared with "Mang Seed", the lyrics of "Itch" are definitely much better. It has the style of a serious and high-quality song. It's not like "Mang Seed" where the lyrics don't match the preface and the back.
The language is confusing. If the melody were not exciting enough and Li Yaoqin's singing skills were superb, others would have been lost to everyone else.
She looked at the lyrics of the song, and the more she read, the happier she became. Then she couldn't wait to pull out the music score in front of Han Sen, and then read it up and down carefully.
While reading, Li Yaoqin felt a trace of joy in her heart. It was a refreshing feeling, as if she was at home like a fish in water, and she couldn't help but hum.
After a moment, she came back to her senses, with a smile on her face.
The studio has a recording engineer and an arranger, both of whom are stationed in the studio all year round to serve all singers.
Seeing Han Sen so surprised, Li Yaoqin sang with even more passion.
After Wu Sheng took a deep breath, he murmured to himself that he had studied drama before, so "The Drunken Concubine" was an opera, and it was very short, but it left a mark in the history of opera.
"I understand, I understand! I have deliberately learned Peking Opera singing, so there should be no problem." Wu Sheng nodded repeatedly.
After Li Yaoqin came to her senses, she looked a little embarrassed. She felt that the chorus she had just sung was no longer "fascinating but not lewd", but purely "not suitable for children".
So the three people in the recording studio started to get busy.
"What's going on?" Zhang Dongsheng picked up the phone and asked.
"Brother Sen, you came just in time. I was just wondering how to adapt this song!"
Han Sen asked with a smile: "Although this song is indeed good, the beholder has different opinions and the wise have different opinions. Once it is released, I think it will bring you, Sister Qin, in addition to the huge honor, there may also be huge pressure of discussion.
So Sister Qin, you must be completely mentally prepared."
Wu Sheng was dumbfounded. You are an arranger and you don’t even know how to arrange it?
"This is an ancient Chinese song. I am very experienced in arranging this style of music. Judging from the music score, the main instruments of this song should be bass, drums, etc. If you add the pipa, it will sound like
More tension, fuller.”
When he stood in the recording studio and listened to the arrangement, which lasted only about a minute, he suddenly got goosebumps when he thought of the singing tune he had just organized in his mind.
Soon, when the chorus started to be sung, Han Sen sat up straight. The singing voice that seemed to be rubbing, twisting and moaning came to his ears. For a moment, he felt numb to his bones by the singing voice.
At first, when Li Yaoqin sang the main song part.
Arranger: Han Sen, Zhang Dongsheng
Singer: Wu Sheng]
But after all, he was a singer who had been famous for many years, so Wu Sheng quickly adjusted his mentality and began to nod to Zhang Dongsheng.
""Chi Ling"? The song "Chi Ling" sung by Pei Xueman? Of course I've heard of it. I remember that this song was also written by you, Brother Sen." Zhang Dongsheng nodded immediately.
"In this case, then hurry up and make it!"
Wu Sheng was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
[Song: "The New Drunken Concubine"
Han Sen smiled: "Yes, this song is very similar to the arrangement technique of "Chi Ling". I call it popular Peking Opera music."
The arranger Zhang Dongsheng was also very knowledgeable. After all, he arranged and produced the song "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" himself. He completely understood the feeling that Han Sen wanted. So when he looked at the lyrics and music score in his hand, he understood it instantly.
A lot more transparent.
After a while, the door of the recording studio was pushed open. Han Sen walked in and saw the three of them working at their desks. He was about to turn around and leave when Wu Sheng and the others noticed the movement and immediately stood up to greet him: "Brother Sen!
"
"The song is a good song, but the lyrics... I didn't pay attention to it at first, but after singing it, why did it make people blush?"
Han Sen nodded and said: "Stay calm, after the storm, there will be a rainbow!"
When Wu Sheng thought of this, he couldn't bear to get excited. When he walked into the recording studio, he couldn't control his hands trembling.
After he learned about Li Yaoqin's resume, he was thinking about how to help Li Yaoqin change his style. The previous song "Grand Ear" was just a test song. He just wanted to see if Li Yaoqin sang this song and whether it met the market taste. He didn't expect to let Li Yaoqin
It became an instant hit again. Even though the lyrics were vague, Li Yaoqin's singing with that magical melody made her popular all over the country and even many countries.
A divine song that has been popular among thousands of people in previous lives.
After Li Yaoqin left, Han Sen got up and headed to the recording studio. If his expectations were good, Wu Sheng just couldn't wait to go to the recording studio and started trying out new songs.
Wu Sheng even feels that the height and popularity of this song may be higher than "Chi Ling" and "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"!
The melody that Li Yaoqin just sang was still in her mind like a bird that couldn't go away, leaving her with a long aftertaste.
Li Yaoqin felt a little confused. Did she feel like this when she sang just now?
Han Sen continued: "At present, no one has a more suitable voice for this song than Sister Qin. I imagine it will become one of Sister Qin's masterpieces after it is released. What do you think? If it doesn't work,
, we can change another song."
But under normal circumstances, neither the recording engineer nor the arranger has much work at hand and is always idle. Only when a singer releases a new song will the two of them help produce the new song in the recording studio.
"...the imperial concubine is drunk...the new imperial concubine is drunk..."
When Li Yaoqin finished singing the entire song, Han Sen couldn't help but applaud.
Although Ge Qingqi was the first to arrive at the recording studio, he did not immediately start working on the song "Flying". He only handed over the lyrics and music of the song to the arranger Zhang Dongsheng, and asked the arranger to help arrange the music first, and she went first
Leave to do other things.
It was only at this time that Han Sen finally determined Li Yaoqin's style, so he seriously tailored a song for Li Yaoqin.
And this song "The New Imperial Concubine Is Drunk" is obviously another perfect combination of opera and modern pop music.
"The so-called popular Peking Opera music requires the use of lyrics with profound Chinese classical cultural connotations and the melody, singing and arrangement techniques of modern pop music, so as to perfectly combine the ancient Chinese background with modern rhythms, thereby producing some subtle, melancholy,
The song style has an elegant and light atmosphere."
In this life, Han Sen felt that with Li Yaoqin's performance, he could become popular all over the country and even overseas.
Hearing this, Zhang Dongsheng immediately agreed readily: "Aqi is not in a hurry, so let's get yours first. Come, let me take a look at the score first."
Han Sen's eyes flashed with surprise.
He has already made part of the arrangement, but the more he makes it, the more awkward it becomes. He always feels that the arrangement does not match the style of the lyrics.
Having said this, Han Sen looked at Wu Sheng: "You should know how to sing Peking Opera, right?"
At this moment, Li Yaoqin tightly grasped the lyrics and music sheet, staring at the content above. Pieces of music surrounded her heart, and lyrics echoed in her mind. The more she read, the more she liked it.
Zhang Dongsheng took a look at the lyrics and music sheet and immediately laughed: "Hey, Ah Qi just put down a song written by the boss, and you sent another one from the back? The boss is doing wholesale today?"
Lyricist: Han Sen
Recording engineer Yang Peitao and arranger Zhang Dongsheng welcomed the arrival of two singers, namely Ge Qingqi and Wu Sheng.
Think too much
Who knows how to sing
He has eyes full of soft light
Zhang Dongsheng frowned even more while explaining: "But I always feel that something is missing? Asheng, did Brother Sen tell you anything? For example, what singing method should be used for this song?"
Wu Sheng's eyes lit up, and combined with the lyrics he just memorized, he suddenly understood how to sing this song.
Wu Sheng thought for a while and said: "That's okay, I want to take advantage of this time to memorize the lyrics."
For example, "Chi Ling", such as "Along the River During Qingming Festival".
Although the song "Itch" is indeed good, and it is enough to propel Li Yaoqin to the top position as a first-line singer, but if he wants to leave a decisive position in the music world, Han Sen believes that the song given to Wu Sheng may be heavier in weight.
.
Composer: Han Sen
Now that he is singing the song "The Drunken Concubine", it is obvious that he cannot sing it in the way of an opera. After all, times are changing. The operas that have been glorious for hundreds or even thousands of years have almost come to an end today.
, if you want to save opera, you must change a way to combine opera with modern pop music, so that opera can survive better.
"Come on, be happy, you have a lot of time anyway
Hearing what Han Sen said, Li Yaoqin's confidence quickly took off. She immediately shook her head and said: "I won't change it, I won't change it anymore. This song is very good. You also said that I am suitable for this song. I believe in your vision, and
To me, this song has beautiful melody and euphemistic style, which is my favorite style. Of course, the highlight is probably the lyrics, half-hiding the face while holding the pipa, it is definitely a Mahayana work."
This is "Itch".
Just wait, just wait
Someone blooms for it——"
Come on, love, there is a lot of folly anyway
