abnormal musician

It is undoubtedly impossible for language to have a unified rhythm.

There are so many language families in the world, and each language family has different pronunciation methods, pronunciation parts, tongue positions, resonance chambers, etc., which are all different.

And this "Chorus" symphony, in the music theory display on the sheet music, in the eyes of the musicians, it seems to be.
A picture that is very close to the overall image.

But in the picture, the lines and colors are so different.

It is not the integrity constructed by subtle lines and colors, but the overall macroscopic image becomes a kind of balance.

The combination of great harmony and diversity is miraculous.

During the chorus, any "violation" is unforgivable.

A single language may seem a little empty, as if lacking in magnificent colors, but it forms a complete whole.

Although the superposition of several languages ​​is colorful and elevates the connotation of the work to another level, it may be a little destructive to the complete whole.

In other words.

It's like whether the music you hear from headphones has a great influence on whether it is binaural, and the 3D sound effect of headphones is definitely not as shocking as the 3D surround sound effect shown in the IMAX theater of the movie theater.

Just looking at the song itself, it is actually the case.

If you can hear on the market, the simplest music is a one-dimensional line.

It was a melody developing and repeating.

No matter how nice it sounds, it is just one line, if it is too much, it will be repeated, and the amount of information contained is very small.

Then, some excellent pop music, in the construction of changeable chords and harmony, and the special timbres represented by different instruments, add lines and colors, and expand with time and space.

This gradually forms a painting, which may be simple or beautiful, and the amount of information is completely beyond the reach of a single melody line.

This is a two-dimensional picture.

When I came to the world of serious music and came into contact with the works of great gods, at this time, countless parts, diversified timbres, exaggerated structures, and changes on different planes, coupled with serious music pay more attention to After the acoustics and acoustic effects, a delicate geometry is constructed.

This is the so-called "three-dimensionality" of music.

In other words, "layering".

With layers, it will naturally become three-dimensional.

At this point the music becomes 3D.

And this exquisite "3D" architecture, if there is a feeling of incongruity in the language, it seems that there are burrs on the delicate statue, which has not been polished.

How can this be tolerated by the majority of artists?

"If we do it now, isn't it too late?"

After the rehearsal, during the meeting, some musicians asked worriedly.

The current progress is very good, if some content is changed on a large scale, it will be very unstable.

This kind of instability means huge risks for such a huge project.

"It's too late?"

Li Shaojie frowned.

"There is no 98 points, let alone 99 points!!"

"Either one hundred points, or zero points!"

If you have a problem, it will cause a certain degree of "panic" for everyone.

And sometimes, a little panic can spread and affect the whole group.

This is an unavoidable problem in crowds.

The most important thing is to kill this sign in time.

"so."

Li Shaojie pondered carefully for a moment, then spoke.

"After all, the lyrics are selected from Schiller's poems. Then, for lyrics translated in other languages, the accent should be aligned with the German version as much as possible. If it is difficult to coordinate the language, you can change it from the German part. When necessary , you don’t have to pay attention to grammar, sentence punctuation, or the severity of pronunciation of the language, and focus on harmony.”

"This"

Everyone looked at each other and found that this seemed to be the best way to deal with it.

For example, Chinese is very particular about "sentencing".

Different sentences may express different meanings, and even affect the overall meaning.

Another example is Latin, light and heavy sounds, consonants, etc., which are still used in daily life.

What Li Shaojie meant was to weaken the different languages ​​and strengthen the same ones in the context of using different languages, so as to make each other's languages ​​produce a "harmony" effect as much as possible, instead of fighting each other.

This plan made many singers feel a lot easier.

It is not necessary to force you to pronounce them exactly the same.

Rather, the pronunciation of each other can produce a harmonious texture of "harmony".

Maybe you need to cut back on the pronunciation a little bit, maybe you need to add a little more pronunciation.

Make a slight transformation to make the overall rounder.

simply put.

Don't be too formal, just be a little considerate of others.

In this way, it is not that difficult to differentiate to singers of various languages.

Optimizing this aspect is a bit like deburring and polishing a sculpture.

If a little bit of detailed processing is done, then when different languages ​​are sung, under the effect of strong reverberation, it will not appear abrupt, but will instead reflect a kind of harmony in a strange way.

Soon, the rehearsal progress continued.

The number of rehearsals also began to increase.

The reason is trial and error over and over again, trying to show the most perfect performance.

And these participating musicians not only showed no impatience or objection.

Even strongly agree.

Especially Li Shaojie's phrase "There is no 98 points, no 99 points, either [-] points or zero points", is even more sought after.

"This is the Jay I admire!!"

"Yes, that's how perfectionism should be!"

"Gathering such a great power, it would be a pity if it scored 98 or 99 points. Either a total score of 0 will become a joke, or a score of 100 will become a legend!!"

These artists seem to be more exaggerated paranoia than Li Shaojie.

After all, this world cannot be perfect, it cannot be ideal.

So some people will laugh at themselves that "incompleteness is also another kind of beauty".

But in fact, romantic artists are almost hidden perfectionists and idealists deep in their hearts.

In the eyes of these people, dreaming is necessary, regardless of what reality can achieve, but first you have to dare to dream.

Even if there are often artists who are looking for abruptness, dissonance, and incompleteness.

But in fact, the essence of these behaviors is still a paranoid pursuit and desire for perfection, dreams, and ideals.

In a certain sense, it is difficult for someone who can reach the top of the industry without a little paranoid and neurotic romanticism.

Being too realistic often loses the ability to dream, but dreams are the source of impossibility.

With the efforts of such a group of musicians who seem a little incomprehensible to others, the quality of the performance is becoming more and more amazing "impossible".

soon! !
Repeated rehearsals have made the program's polishing infinitely closer to perfection.

At this time, Li Shaojie really began to think about formal performances, and started radio collection.

On this day, almost everyone was mobilized.

Almost a week off.

There are only two rehearsals this week.

Until the morning before the official performance, two intensive "rehabilitation" rehearsals began.

They rested for another afternoon.

At this time, a series of work, including the placement of the site, the maintenance and debugging of equipment, the rest arrangement of personnel, the simulation of the plan for the second day's official action, and the preparations for emergency avoidance, etc., were carried out quickly.

Almost everyone trembled because of this, and no mistakes could be tolerated.

Yes, it is just a theatrical performance.

If you make a mistake, it’s a big deal to start over, anyway, what you end up showing the world is just a video.

but.
This stuff is just like Zhuo Ai, all kinds of small tricks have been done for a long time, whether it is the candlelight dinner that night or the theme hotel I found, they are infinitely close to perfection. The optimal choice for numerous deliberations and simulations.

Then, when I was so bald, I suddenly wanted to pee.

Heh, a glass of water ruined the evening.

Such mistakes are naturally impossible to accept.

Soon, the performance of the day began.

The pressure on everyone suddenly increased.

However, these musicians also have their own rich experience.

How to adapt to this feeling, everyone is very experienced, and each has its own habits.

Many unknown preparation idiosyncrasies began to show.

For example, some musicians started to take out their nail clippers, and trimmed their nails little by little with great care without any extra nails.

This is because the nails will hinder the pressing of many string instruments. Usually, many performers pay great attention to trimming their nails.

If you are learning the violin, if you have long nails, it is almost an intolerable thing.

Although there is nothing to repair at this time, it seems to have become a ritual.

Before a major performance, seriously trim and polish it.

And some musicians, such as some brass musicians.

Before the official performance, carefully disassemble the brass instrument at hand, and then wipe the inner wall of the brass with an absorbent cloth.

Looking at the entire orchestra, such behaviors are not uncommon.

At this time, like bassoon, clarinet, oboe.

Pickled reeds.

In string music, it is used to adjust the tightness of the bow and to add rosin to the bow.

Tuning, checking the instrument for the last time, all kinds of behaviors are full of seriousness.

The movements of these musicians vary.

But the same is the attitude, the facial expression.

Like a pilgrimage.

It's as if devout believers are doing their most firmly believed religious rituals.

Careful and delicate.

These world-class singers are extremely powerful.

Among them, there are gods who eat spicy hot pot one second and perform on stage the next second, singing incomprehensible high-pitched high-pitched voices.

There are also those who open their mouths casually, that is dazzling coloratura, sing a sentence, eat a bite of spicy strips, and then connect with the super fierce alien creature just now.

Almost all Zentraedi people.

But this time, they seem to have returned to ancient times.

Back to the cautiousness when I first appeared on stage that year.

The maintenance of the throat, in the past two days, has reached a level that is even a little morbid.

Arrangements for water intake, throat protection.

Be very careful when opening your voice, and progress slowly bit by bit.

Then let yourself reach the most peak state.

Li Shaojie's behavior also seems a bit exaggerated.

It is an exaggeration to say that incense bathing is an exaggeration.

But after taking a bath, I changed into the gown very carefully, tidied up the skirts and collars, and then carefully unfolded the entire score, turning it page by page, and repeatedly pressed lightly along the fold lines formed by frequent flipping.

Carefully place the baton on a specific part of the podium, and then walk down to inspect the progress of each musician.

This very unique scene, in the eyes of the leader, looked so different.

There is an incomprehensible sense of the divine in the eyes of almost every musician.

In the first 5 minutes of the performance, this feeling reached its peak.

Almost everyone stopped what they were doing.

The tuning and audition stage is fully completed.

The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony became silent.

Everyone was waiting for Li Shaojie to come on stage.

and everyone
Every detail of the music, every note, and every processing flashed through my mind.

Along with the details of the music passing through my mind, the history of human music development is also passing by rapidly.

It seems that everyone is wondering whether there will be a grand scene similar to today.

Yes, for sure.

But when I think that the same great scene will reappear, it may even be even greater, and I will be a part of it from this moment
An uncontrollable excitement surged up from the bottom of my heart.

Emotionally.

When they heard the slight sound of footsteps, all the performers took a deep breath in unison and opened their eyes.

In the opened eyes, there is a radiance.

The spirit of all the staff has come to a peak.

They saw Li Shaojie walking towards the podium.

Today's weather is really good.

The temperature is right and the sun is shining.

The clouds drifted, but they did not obscure the brilliance of the blue sky.

It seems that in a ray of light slanting down from the sun, there are unpredictable seven colors projected into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, complementing the magnificent buildings and the top musicians, and finally shining on Li Shaojie's face.

At this moment, all the musicians seemed to see the moment when the king of music was about to sit on his throne.

Li Shaojie's movements were very light.

But in the eyes of these musicians, every movement seems to be as sacred as it is about to be recorded in the annals of history.

Li Shaojie raised his baton.

Swish swish!
This is the neat voice from the audience.

The stringer holds his bow, and the violinist holds his violin to his chin.

The wind instrument guy is always ready to get into the gist.

For percussion, also hold down the instrument carefully.

This kind of clothes corner friction sound is very small.

But when there are too many, it will be extremely shocking.

Countless eyes focused on Li Shaojie.

That's different from normal bands.

It is a kind of focus that is enlarged thirty times.

But Li Shaojie's movements did not show the slightest bit of stiffness or trembling.

Take a bow and salute slightly.

Looking around at the musicians in the audience, there was an incredible sense of majesty in his eyes.

He raised his hands, and waved them lightly in the silence.

The orchestra also started to play the first note.
