Chapter 115 Recording Songs
"Okay, okay, don't need to be modest. Not many people have watched our Cantonese opera for a long time. If more people know about Cantonese opera because of you, it will be a good thing for Cantonese opera to me."

An Lingxian didn't have that old-fashioned and stubborn spirit, and she obviously didn't have the slightest resistance to the combination of Cantonese opera and pop songs, and she was even very interested, which made Li Changle awe-inspiring.

This kind of vigor and mind is what a master should have. Even in decline, Cantonese opera is still a part of Chinese traditional culture. What's more, drama requires talent more than singing. Without talent, you can't get in.

"You are too self-effacing. I like Cantonese opera very much. There are still young people watching it."

An Lingxian smiled, and didn't talk about this question again, but talked about other topics.

"You are a very nice young man. I will call you Changle. I think the poem you wrote is very good. If it is not for the lack of time, I even plan to make this poem into a play."

"However, the time is limited now, so I plan to sing this poem in the form of Cantonese Acura, and put it in front of the song. Then I will combine some classic operas about lovesickness in Cantonese opera with the accompaniment in the chorus. What do you think?"

Li Changle and Wang Siyi didn't know much about Cantonese opera, but they couldn't fault An Lingxian's statement. This Cantonese opera master seemed to have researched pop songs, so he obviously did his homework this time.

They couldn't understand, but they were shocked.

"I may have said too much, let's record the song first, and let's see the effect~"

An Lingxian saw the two young men staring blankly at her without answering, so she smiled again and said something hastily.

Li Xuexin didn't expect that An Lingxian was so enthusiastic about this matter that she even thought about how to arrange the songs and which paragraphs to put in the interpretation of Cantonese opera.

"Of course that's good, come on, let's try the effect first, the band is ready inside."

Li Xuexin said something quickly and invited several people to walk in together.

"Why don't you record your Cantonese opera first, and let's see the effect first?"

Li Changle said to An Lingxian in the recording studio, here only Li Changle knows what kind of song he wants.

No one here has thought that pop songs can be matched with traditional dramas. This is the first time in their eyes, or even in the eyes of the world.

He intends to see if Cantonese opera can be matched with popular songs first. If the fit is not high, it will be difficult.But then I thought about which version of folk tunes I have heard can fit so well with the song Acacia, and Cantonese opera should not be a big problem.

An Lingxian walked into the recording studio, and then began to try to sing lovesickness words that she understood. She used Zihou's singing voice, and Zihou is the falsetto voice of a woman. When An Lingxian sang the first voice, the people present I feel goosebumps all over my body.

When Li Changle heard An Lingxian's voice, he knew that he was old.

Did the master really call it for nothing? An Lingxian interprets the uninterrupted affection of lovesickness to perfection, and Cantonese itself has nine tones and six tones that are very suitable for reciting or singing ancient poems. Li Changle heard An Lingxian finish singing Qu Xiangsi knew it was stable, this version of Acacia was definitely not worse than the other version.

In addition to the lyrics of "Lovesickness", An Lingxian also sang a few lines that were intended to be incorporated into the song "Lovesickness". Wang Siyi who was next to her couldn't help but grasp Li Changle's arm.

Cantonese opera is really touching, and Wang Siyi happens to be able to speak Cantonese. My grandfather lived here in Yangcheng, and I often came to live with him for a period of time when I was a child.

Naturally, she can speak Cantonese. The most important piece of Cantonese opera by An Lingxian reminded her of the time when her grandfather often took her to watch Cantonese opera when she was a child.

Li Changle found Wang Siyi's unnaturalness beside him, and thought she was moved by the Cantonese opera sung by An Lingxian, so he quickly patted her hand and asked softly:
"what happened?"

Wang Siyi saw Li Changle looking at her nervously, and the sadness in his heart began to dissipate slowly. Although his grandfather had left, he appeared in his life. Maybe this was God's will.

"I am fine."

Wang Siyi replied softly.Looking at An Lingxian in the recording studio, she also felt that An Lingxian sang very well. Cantonese opera is not so easy to sing. She often listened to it when she was a child, and she naturally knew that she was a singer.

"Wenzi 拶qiang" is the main method of embellishing the tune of Cantonese opera. The tune must first follow the meaning of the words, and second, pay attention to the sound and intonation of the words, without seeking fancy, thus forming the tune of Cantonese opera. Mode changes and rhythm changes are natural and smooth.

If the sense of rhythm is not good, or the sense of language is not good, it is easy to get out of tune or sing without emotion. This lady named An Lingxian is obviously a great person, and I have already begun to look forward to working with her.

After An Lingxian sang, she came out of the recording studio, and then Li Changle, Li Xuexin and others burst into applause. The Cantonese opera that An Lingxian showed deserved their applause.

"Everyone laughed, I don't know what Chang Le thinks of my singing, does it match the artistic conception you want?"

An Lingxian was as gentle as she was at the beginning, as if she was not surprised by the little test just now.

"It's suitable, it's so suitable, you are amazing, this effect may be better than I expected!"

Li Changle said excitedly.

"Siyi, you should also try the song Acacia, and then we will try to combine Cantonese opera with the song and see the effect."

The excited Li Changle said something to Wang Siyi next to him.

Wang Siyi nodded, when Li Changle gave her this song, she wanted to sing it very much, and she often hummed a section according to the score at home.

After listening to An Lingxian's Cantonese opera, I seem to have a deeper understanding of this song, so I really want to try it.So he walked into the recording studio without hesitation, and signaled OK to the tuner outside.

"Red beans are born in the southern country, which is the farthest thing. Lovesickness is nothing."

Wang Siyi's gentle and ethereal voice came out, but there was a touch of sadness in the singing. At the beginning, this emotion was light, and as the song accompaniment progressed, this sadness gradually became stronger, and finally at the end It exploded completely during the second chorus.

Most willing to forget the ancient poems,

The most dismissive thing is lovesickness,
Hold on to love for fear of people laughing.
The song slowly turned to a low voice and faded away during a period of humming. Li Changle took another look at Wang Siyi's singing talent in his heart. This singing quotient is too high.

A natural singer is nothing more than this, although Li Changle wanted to describe Wang Siyi like this, but he thought of a stalk, and inexplicably felt cold all over, feeling that there is something wrong with this description, it is inappropriate.

But there is one thing to say, he even thinks that the version sung by Wang Siyi just now can be directly used as the final version and released, but the specifics depend on how to combine the two Cantonese operas by An Lingxian.

 The fifth change, it’s gone today, it’s [-] words long, don’t you give me some encouragement?
