Actually I just want to act

Chapter 1431 Subversive cognition
The song "Orc" has a very strong sense of rhythm.Fang has clearly recorded it several times, but he still feels that it is not ideal.

No way, Jay Chou is a genius, his songs are not something ordinary people can sing.

Therefore, Fang Jiming finally felt a little satisfied when he sang for the fifth time.Especially the chorus part: "Let our half-orc souls roll / put away the cruelty / recall the process of beastization..." This kind of singing method that is half-singing, half-talking, and half-talking, the melody line is handed over to the brass group, The human voice as an instrument.Combines the functions of a rhythm instrument and a melody instrument.

In Cai Yuze's view, this is not a breakthrough in composition, but a major breakthrough in music concept and practice.

Cai Yuze has even begun to doubt life a bit: "Looking at the whole song, it seems that there are too many repetitions? From the first line of the main song, the melody changes, and it is repeated three and a half times. "Soul Overture" also repeats a line of melody twice, and a sub-section The "Let's" of the song is repeated four times, and the new paragraph at the end is also two lines of melody repeating, repeating, repeating..."

Cai Yuze finds it very strange, if the composition of this song is not specially recorded, will the people listening to the song be aware of the repetition, repetition, repetition of this song?Or do you just think this song is rich and awesome?It seems that there are not many orchestrations for the arrangement, there is no too complicated chord progression, and only a few materials are used to do a lot of repetitions, repetitions, repetitions, but the colleagues don't seem to think it is very simple?

"Why is this happening? How can I not do the same thing?" Cai Yuze began to torture his soul.

Then, Cai Yuze came up with an extremely frustrating but helpless answer: "Maybe this is a genius. A genius uses a song of sudden inspiration to make others deconstruct and doubt life..."

There is no way, anyone who is knowledgeable knows that this is a song with both classical solemnity and magnificence, as well as modern agility and trendiness. It is a work that is almost timeless.

Let's put it this way, if you listen to this song in another 20 years, you won't feel outdated.

"A song that transcends the times, an arrangement that transcends the times..." Cai Yuze was already at a loss, not knowing where his efforts were headed.

Then, the next day, he heard "Peninsula Iron Box."

The arrangement of this song is still at the ceiling level, because Fang Jiming has already set the tone.

Even after getting the arrangement, Fang Jiming added an OS.

Yes, that is the dialogue accompanied by the sound of door hinges and wind chimes: "Hi, do you sell "Peninsula Iron Box"?"

"Yes, you have it on the second row of shelves when you turn right from the front."

"OK, thanks."

"You're welcome……"

Yes, it's different from the original.

There is no way, the Wanwan accent in the original version is too heavy.In order to be normal, Fang Jiming also spoke a little bit of Yanjing dialect.

Cough cough, many people think that there is no dialect in Yanjing, which is not true.In Yanjing dialect, there are many accents that are not found in Mandarin.As for the authentic Mandarin, it is the dialect of Luanping, which is separated from Yanjing by a mountain.Anyway, it's very regional.

Then, there's the composition.

When Fang Jiming made the demo, he used the piano melody in Bb major, and when he made the arrangement, Fang Jiming also added the dialogue OS, using scene sound effects and dialogue sounds as the background of the piano in Bb major The melody, which makes you focus primarily on the dialogue rather than the piano, transitions silently to the verse in B major just as you inadvertently.Then, many people's hearing is deceived.

If Fang Jiming didn't feel good after recording the first time, Cai Yuze wouldn't have heard it when he started recording the second time again.

Cai Yuze thought about it, if this modulation is not covered by scene sound effects and dialogue sounds, it will appear very abrupt and incomprehensible.If the piano in the background is deleted, this short dialogue becomes a pure gimmick and completely loses its meaning. "What kind of genius would produce this kind of inspiration?!"

With the entry of the human voice, accompanied by the soothing sound of the guitar breaking down the chords, it entered the story.

This is also where Cai Yuze admires Fang Jiming. How can music tell a story?

Fang Jiming gave the best answer.

Ahem, Fang Jiming didn't think too much about it, he just relied on Jay Chou to "write" these songs.

The sound of the drum kit appears, the gentle drumbeats are accompanied by dense hi-hats, and the story progresses slowly, and then the transition section suddenly changes the key, from B to Ab. Although it is a major key, it starts with a minor chord. It seems not sad Hi, it sounds like it has entered a deeper level of memory.

Suddenly, the guitar and the drums went blank, and then Fang Jiming sang in a crying voice: "Why is it like this?" Although the chorus is in a different key from the half-spoken and half-sung verse at the beginning, the chords are all used. The bass of the inner tone goes down to 17654325, playing out the original vulgar chord routine.

"I'm getting used to not stopping you, and you will come back after a while..." In this sentence, a third-level major chord suddenly appeared, and then a sixth-level minor chord was connected. rise.A tense climax followed by a coherent return to the original tune.After a simple interlude, the second time the verse is switched from the key of Ab to the key of B, and then switched to the key of Ab at the same position as the previous time.The main difference between the second verse and the first verse is that the drums are always there, and the harmony has increased.

Such a simple, but extremely skillful foreshadowing, only colleagues can understand, Cai Yuze was already stunned.

Yes, the second chorus is only sung for eight bars, and then the key is changed again, from Ab to A.

Cai Yuze said in his heart: "Although it is raised by a minor second, it is different from ordinary pop songs where the entire chorus is sung and then the key is raised. The rising key is selected in the half of the chorus, which really gives people an unexpected sense of surprise. ..."

Next, with the rising key, the harmony track is also strengthened to be as strong as the main melody part, and the main melody has undergone many impromptu changes, intertwined with the harmony.

After listening to the whole song, it sounds easy to draw people's imagination. The arrangement doesn't sound complicated, and the harmony is stable, but it creates a wonderful atmosphere with many memories.

What promotes the whole song is the guitar chords that run through almost the entire song, and the drum writing also makes the song more rhythmic.Although there is no big string music, a large number of vocal harmonies make up for the "empty" of the arrangement, making this "empty" become "empty".The perfect melody, complex harmony, and wonderful modulation made Cai Yuze frustrated again.

People play simple things, but they are so complicated.

If you come to a complicated arrangement, how can you follow it?
Whether it's making soundtracks or making arrangements, in fact, you can do it in one way, and you can do it in a million ways.But you got it right,

But not proficient.

The difference of one letter is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person.

Cai Yuze thought to himself, if he arranges this song for him, he will definitely use a lot of strings to create a sad atmosphere.But why can only guitar and drums arrange music so well?Cai Yuze couldn't figure it out, which gave him a subversive cognition.It turns out that it is not necessary to use strings to express sadness...
