Actually I just want to act

Chapter 1291 The only standard
The vocal teacher suddenly asked, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​changing the pronunciation of the characters?"

Fang Jiming was also depressed: "I can't help it, if I don't change the pitch, the word doesn't match the melody."

The vocal music teacher was a little shocked, and said, "You mean the word must be in rhythm?"

Fang Jiming thought for a while and said, "That's what it means."

"Is this the concept of Cantonese songs?" The vocal teacher really expected it a little bit, and he has a lot of theory in the field of music.In fact, this is true in any line of work. Perhaps many people can achieve good results with their talents.But if you want to stand at the top of the industry, you must learn theoretical knowledge and master it proficiently.

In any industry, it is all about culture in the end.

People with insufficient culture cannot make further progress.

Don't you see, many singers sing well, but they are always a little short of their popularity.why?

Fang Jiming felt that this was the shackles of not knowing how to compose and arrange music.If it can be mastered in one line, what type of songs can't be controlled?So, I still suffered from insufficient culture.Really don't think that if you are in the entertainment industry, you don't need culture. You can have no education, but you can't be cultured.

In his previous life, Fang Jiming watched variety shows and was shocked by the knowledge of those so-called celebrities.No wonder they are just stars, but they can't make a big hit. It turns out that they don't have enough foundation.

Whether it's a singer or an actor who really knows their shortcomings, they will always enrich themselves in time.For example, Hu Ge once suspended his acting career to study theory because he felt that he had reached a bottleneck and needed to break through.So that later, there were so many classic TV series.

This vocal teacher's theoretical knowledge is very solid, which is why Fang Jiming appreciates him. It's definitely not because the other party doesn't force him to correct his pronunciation problems... Ahem, Fang Jiming said: "That's almost what it means, but I think , it is not necessary for the Chinese music scene to sing according to the regular Mandarin, there are six tones and nine tunes in the ancient language!"

This is the truth, if Fang Jiming is not reborn in a parallel world, but travels back to ancient times, then Fang Jiming really may not be able to understand the ancients.Especially before the Ming Dynasty, the official dialect of the Central Plains was almost the same as the Hakka dialect, and ordinary people could not understand it at all.But one advantage is that the text is all in one continuous line.

If a person who has learned calligraphy goes back to ancient times, he will definitely be able to understand characters.Whether it is the big seal script before the Qin Dynasty, the small seal script of the Qin Dynasty, or the official script of the Han Dynasty, and then the regular script of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties... The evolution of characters is actually the cultural history of China.The language may change, but the writing remains the same.

This is also the reason why the vocal music teacher is heartbroken. China has such a splendid culture, why can't it create its own unique musical imprint?
"Well, what you said is a bit interesting..."

In fact, the vocal music teacher also knows that operas, including Peking Opera, have changed the pronunciation of characters.Not only Peking Opera, but also Kunqu Opera and Huangmei Opera.

Since the conversion of characters and sounds has existed since ancient times, the vocal music teacher also realized that this is a way in the Chinese music scene.After figuring this out, the vocal music teacher said excitedly: "You can continue to walk down this road!"

Fang Jiming said melancholy: "It's hard!"

"For the sake of the Chinese music scene, you should be obliged!" The vocal teacher became serious, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"

Fang Jiming said seriously: "Chinese movies still have to wait for me to save, and the Chinese music scene also needs me? I can't do this alone." Yes, in Fang Jiming's opinion, movies are his first career. One choice, music is purely a hobby plus fun.If they all rely on him, Fang Jiming will feel a lot of pressure.

The vocal teacher was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.

Yes, the Chinese music scene cannot be saved by just one or two people.

Fang Jiming laughed suddenly: "Actually, you don't have to worry, I will work hard to train newcomers. You see, "Super Girl" is such a platform."

The vocal music teacher thought about it, and it seemed that the road was a bit narrow, and said, "It can't all depend on the draft?"

Fang Jiming said: "That's right, so QQ Music has launched a musician plan, which is to gather online singer-songwriters together, give them a platform, and give them promotion. If there are any successful ones, we will sign them again, and we will give them an all-round way. Cultivate. When the time comes, you will also need to teach them vocal music."

The vocal music teacher sighed and said, "Does your plan work?"

Fang Jiming thought for a while and said, "It's up to people to do it!"

Indeed, like movies, music is an art of seeing people.

If you have no talent, no matter how rich your theoretical knowledge is, you are nothing but a music craftsman.If there are not a few talented people, there is no way to support the ceiling of the Chinese music scene.Art Art, the most important thing is people.Because the gap between people is sometimes bigger than the Milky Way.

The vocal music teacher thought about it, and it seemed to be the same.His own theory is very good, and he can sing well, but he just can't create a moving melody.It is also possible for him to write songs, but he is always full of craftsmanship and cannot write beautiful melodies.To put it bluntly, this vocal music teacher has also composed countless songs, but few songs are really famous.

On the contrary, Fang Jiming only released two albums and a few film and television songs, so he became popular like this.One is that Fang Jiming's style is very novel and suits the preferences of young people, and the other is Fang Jiming's "extraordinary talent"?But this vocal teacher is also a bit strange, how could Fang Jiming write songs like "Too Much" full of craftsmanship.

It's not that the song "Too Much" is not good, it's also very popular and has a catchy melody.The problem is that, like all songs in the Chinese music scene, there is always something missing to become a classic.

Perhaps, this is just a little lack of aura.

As the saying goes, genius is 99% sweat plus 1% inspiration, but without 1% inspiration, 99% sweat is nothing.

"It's okay for me to teach." The vocal music teacher still couldn't resist the temptation given by Fang Jiming. The annual salary is one million, which is too much.

This was in 2005!
With an annual salary of one million, you can buy two houses in Shenghai!Although it may be necessary to borrow some money, it is still two suites!
"However, it must have the potential for development..." the vocal teacher said hesitantly, "It's as if I teach you, I'm not afraid that you will lose inspiration. And some people, after learning music theory and singing, are lost Self..." Yes, vocal music teachers have seen many such examples.A very talented singer, a young man with extraordinary talents, but after learning music theory, he has become full of craftsmanship, and he is afraid of violating music theory.

You know, what is music theory?
That's what breaks!

There is no other criterion for the melody, but good-sounding is the only criterion!

Fang Jiming thought for a while and said, "Then it depends on their own choice. If they feel that they are still short of something, then arrange for them to learn."

The vocal teacher nodded: "That's the only way."
