pianist from the sea

Chapter 177 I want to record a composition

Fu Tiao did not expect that He Shen would call him. After all, since He Shen returned to the beautiful country, the relationship between the two of them has not been particularly close, and it can even be said that there is almost no contact at all, except for occasional greetings. One can imagine that He Shen would actually call at this time after such a long silence.

Or even a transoceanic phone call.

Hearing He Shen's voice, Fu Tiao couldn't help laughing, and said casually.

"It's on fire? What's on fire? Why did I suddenly get on fire?"

"You don't know yet? Your encore video after the concert was posted on the video website. Now your encore has a very good number of clicks and plays on the video website. I just watched it. Let’s see, so far, there have been hundreds of thousands of views, and we are even sprinting towards a million views, just discussing a video, how can this not be considered popular?”

He Shen explained to Fu Tiao over there, his tone full of disbelief: "However, I really didn't expect that the first time you went out of the circle was because of your encore, not your normal performance. I feel that your normal playing is much better than your encore, but it seems that other people can't hear it..."

"Encore?" Fu Tiao was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, you said that the jazz music was adapted by me, right? No way, maybe my jazz music is played at a faster speed than the normal performance? Jazz shows more skill and is easier to impress the audience."

"Hey, my jazz performance is more skillful, and it is easier to impress the audience, tsk tsk tsk, you said this so easily, do you know that such an opportunity may not be able to come if many performers want it for a lifetime ah?"

"I don't know...is this kind of thing rare?"

"Huh? You don't know? No wonder why I said that your mood didn't change at all. This kind of thing is not uncommon. On PiliPili, which mainly focuses on entertainment videos, your jazz performance has reached such a high level. The high number of broadcasts is almost as good as certain famous scenes, such as Mr. Lang's Da Da Di Da, which only has a few million broadcasts."

"Da da di da? What's that?"

"Hey, why don't you even know this?"

He Shen on the other side of the phone somehow felt that there was an obstacle in communication, and he couldn't help but doubt himself.

"No? Although I am much older than you, my perception of popular elements is quite good. Basically, I can keep up with all popular memes. How can I talk to you, a young man, for a long time? It doesn’t make any sense? Is it because I’m getting older that there’s a generation gap between you, or that there’s a generation gap between you and the times? Why can’t you even understand the stalk of da da di da?”

"..."

Fu Tiao didn't know what to say, but He Shen seemed to have reached a reconciliation with himself, sighed, and said again.

"Forget it, if there is a generation gap, there will be a generation gap. It doesn't matter. I came here to tell you that your poorly shot video has already become a trend in the entire Huaguo, but because it was shot. It's too bad, and a lot of details are lost, so how to say, there are still a lot of bad reviews. If you mind, you can ask the organizer to help you record it when you play the encore next time. They There's experience there."

"Okay, okay, I'll make a note, and I'll talk to the organizer later." Fu Tiao nodded.

He felt that the water temperature was a bit cold, so he got up from the bath, picked up the towel that was set aside and wiped his body, put on the bathrobe, and took it to the bed.

The bed in this hotel always feels very soft, and the whole person has a feeling of almost sinking in when lying down.

He Shen on the phone didn't know what Fu Tiao was doing, so he continued to ask Fu Tiao.

"Just write it down. Speaking of which, how are you doing? Where has the concert been?"

"I just finished the concert in Amsterdam, and I should go directly to Brussels in a few days. I haven't decided how many days I will stay in Amsterdam, but I took a look at the train from Amsterdam to Brussels. It only takes about two hours. It's not far, and then, it should be to Paris."

"Amsterdam, the city of Amsterdam is not bad, especially their symphony orchestra, the Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, this orchestra is now the number one orchestra in the world, you can go and listen to it when you have time, they have a great appreciation for Mahler The interpretation is very special, the string part is not bright, but has a velvety smooth feeling, while the brass part is shining like gold, as for the woodwind, you can clearly hear their beauty like human speaking .”

He Shen on the phone couldn't help sighing.

"By the way, have you settled on the concert hall in Brussels?"

"Well, it's the Concert Hall of the Brussels Academy of Music. It's opened in their school. The concert hall in their school is very large, with about 800 people, and less than 1000 people. It's a bit bigger than the concert hall of the Berlin University of the Arts. And their decoration style is not built with orange-yellow wood panels like many modern concert halls, but with Napoleon III, the kind of concert hall decorated in the Neo-Renaissance style."

Fu Tiao took out his mobile phone, searched for the concert hall news sent to him by Deutsche Grammophon, and read it to He Shen.

The main sphere of influence of Deutsche Grammophon is still in Germany, so they can easily get a very good concert hall in Germany, and even asked Fu Diao specifically at that time whether he wanted to go to the Berlin Philharmonic Hall To play, or to play at the Elbe Konzerthaus in Hamburg.

All of these can be chosen by Fu Tiao.

As for concert halls in other places, because it is a temporary order, it is actually difficult to order a large venue with thousands of people. Basically, it is only possible to order a medium-sized concert hall with about 1000 to [-] people.

This is why Fu Tiao did not go to the largest concert hall in Brussels, the Beaux Arts Hall, to perform in a venue with thousands of people, but to study at the Brussels Conservatory of Music.

Listening to Fu Tiao's words, He Shen couldn't help being a little surprised: "The concert hall of the Brussels Conservatory of Music? Yes, that concert hall is quite good. Although it is under the Conservatory of Music, it is actually open to the outside world. For normal performances, there are more collective performances by off-campus orchestras. Their acoustics sound similar to Vienna’s Golden Hall. They are both shoebox-like concert halls. I didn’t expect the music that Deutsche Grammophon will find for you. Hall is so strong."

There was a murmur on the phone, followed by He Shen's extremely shocked voice.

"Wait? What the fuck? All sold out? A concert hall with 800 people, actually all the tickets are sold out? No, did you do any promotion? How did your tickets all sell out? I just clicked in to buy tickets I can’t even buy your tickets from the website! I also want to say that when our school has an exchange trip to Europe, I’ll come to listen to your concert or something. Now it seems that I’d better forget it..."

He Shen gave a wry smile: "Forget it, let's talk about it, have you decided where you want to study in the future? Have you read other places?"

"Just the Berlin University of the Arts. There is an old professor at the Berlin University of the Arts, Professor Klaus. I think he is pretty good."

"Professor Klaus? Oh, I know him. I remember that he retired a few years ago, and he is even contacting the school to cancel his honorary professorship. I didn't expect him to come out again for you. It's really interesting. "

He Shen on the other end of the phone shook his head, glanced at the phone, and said to Fu Tiao: "Forget it, wait for later, our school often has global exchanges, especially those who go to Europe, basically every year There have been so many times, I came to Europe to find you to play, who else is there, God bless? He said before that he would take me to the red light district for a stroll, but now people are unwilling to come out when they come back to China, I really don’t know Why, oh yes, your popular video is called the king of classical and jazz, it seems to be the name, you can search it yourself, I will hang up first, bye."

After all, He Shen continued to complain for a few words, then hung up the phone.

Hearing the beeping sound in the mobile phone, Fu Tiao also hung up the phone helplessly, picked up the mobile phone and began to read what He Shen just said.

According to He Shen, he downloaded PiliPili, registered an account with his current mobile phone number, simply wrote the word Fu Tiao and registered it as his name, and followed He Shen's instructions to find his own video.

As He Shen said, his videos have indeed received hundreds of thousands of views.

It's just that the hundreds of thousands, that is, more than 20, although many, are not particularly large.

However, compared to the more than 20 views of this video, there are many more comments under this video.

First of all, a small group of people said that he didn't play well, that he couldn't hear what he was playing at all, and half of the music was forgotten in the middle, and then he made up messy music.

But soon, someone explained over there that the middle part of the music was adapted by Fu Tiao himself, and he himself played jazz, so it sounded different from the normal feeling. Not only that, his jazz performance It's really pretty good, and it can be regarded as an improved boutique that is rarely heard among their Jazzers.

Of course, this statement did not convince everyone. On the contrary, some people started to get angry, saying that if you play badly, you should be a jazz, right?Then I can also jazz, isn't jazz just playing the piano randomly?Who wouldn't?
This not only angered Fu Tiao's fans, but at the same time, many fans who were interested in jazz also began to encircle and suppress him.

Under his video, everyone is in a mess, only a small number of people are praising him for playing well, while others are caught in a scolding battle.

Seeing the noise of these people, Fu Tiao hesitated for a while, and then clicked on his own video.

He wanted to see why his videos had so many people spamming each other.

As a result, I heard half of it, that is, when I heard his pause in the middle of the music, I understood everything instantly.

"I just said why this happened, it turned out to be in this place..."

Fu Tiao looked at the group of noisy people and sighed helplessly again.

The recording equipment is not good because it really eats the details. Obviously he still likes the feeling of his pause in the middle of the music, which stretches the tension of the music, but who would have thought that this stretched tension would turn into other people criticizing him point?
And that group of people still hold the mentality that I can't understand it, it's your trash, and they can't listen to the explanation.

Seeing all this, Fu Tiao really didn't know what to say, and even began to hesitate whether to ask someone to help him shoot a new video, when his video finished playing, the following carousel video appeared.

"In-depth Analysis of Fu Diao Concert Truth? "

"The truth? What truth? I don't know what truth I have..."

Fu Tiao felt that he seemed to be derailed from the world, why couldn't he understand these young people's things.

Isn't it just a video of a concert?How come you still have the truth?

Fu Tiao rubbed his chin, thought for a long time, and finally opened the video.

A face he was not familiar with appeared in the video.

According to the information on the video, this person should be called Fao Piano, Fao Piano?
Sounds a bit like Fazioli?
Fu Tiao's thoughts flashed by, and he continued to listen to the man's speech.

Faol stood in the middle of the video, smiling at everyone.

"Hello, audience friends, everyone, I am now in a music studio under the Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra, and the person next to me is the director and conductor of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, Zhu Zai !"

Now an acquaintance finally appeared. Fu Tiao remembered that Zhu Zai and He Shen had a good relationship. When He Shen held a concert in Haicheng, he was the one he was looking for.

Zhu Zai nodded and greeted everyone in the video.

Faol took the conversation and continued.

"Recently, I saw that many people may have a little doubt about the recent performance of Fu Tiao. They feel that Fu Tiao's performance in music is not satisfactory. He is obviously the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition, but why does he play as if he forgot the score? Afterwards, they started to make up and play the piano? Does it sound completely incomprehensible? It doesn’t even sound good?

In this regard, Zhu Zai and I, as well as some people from the Harmony Club, rearranged the unclear music of Fu Tiao, split out the content of Fu Tiao's performance, and gave you a simple analysis and reproduction. Let's see what Fu Diao has done in music. "

After that, he took the camera and walked a little inside. A small Steinway A188 was placed in the center of the room, and at the same time there were many recording equipment on the side.

Looking at all this, Fao immediately added: "Oh, yes, let me briefly introduce the equipment we use for recording. First of all, this is the Steinway A188, which is the best-selling classic piano under Steinway. The overall price of these equipment used for recording can be hundreds of thousands or close to one million?"

Zhu Zai added on the sidelines: "Yamaha's."

Fao: "Yes! Yamaha, the recording equipment is not too much to introduce, welcome everyone to come to Heyin Studio to record, remember to contact Zhu Zai of Heyin Studio, report my name or click the link at the bottom of the video to get a discount! Now let's focus again Let me introduce the work we have done before, and reproduce the performance of Fu Diao for everyone.”

After that, he took a few steps back, walked outside the recording room, adjusted the computer over there, and said, "This is the audio restoration work we're doing. Come down, and make an original tempo score according to his speed, and let everyone listen to it."

After all, he turned on the audio, and two small boxes immediately appeared on the video.

The upper one is a secretly recorded Fu Tiao video, and the lower one is a visual automated chart, moving forward bit by bit according to the speed of Fu Tiao and the notes that appear.

It can be heard very clearly in this place. After all, the previous content of Fu Diao is basically adapted from Chopin's Dongfeng, and the emphasis is on the latter content.

The music continued, and soon stopped at the empty beat.

This time, they clearly made the stop that Fu Tiao used before.

A sense of stagnation arises spontaneously.

And this stagnation... until the end of this page.

After the page was turned over, everyone was dumbfounded.

There were quite a lot of Dongfeng notes, but the notes that appeared in front of everyone at this moment were far beyond their imagination.

The dense notes are piled up on the music like a black score, and there are various connections written on it, connecting many contents of the music together.

The screen, which didn't have many bullet screens before, exploded instantly at this moment.

"Fuck? What is this?"

"Ah? Huh? Huh?"

"I really like a sentence from piano lovers: Huh?"

"No, what are you telling this? Why are there so many notes?"

"Are you sure this can be played by human hands?"

"What the hell is this?"

"..."

A dense barrage of bullets piled up on the screen, and almost everyone was expressing their shock.

This is too outrageous, the original score is already difficult, who would have thought that it would be even more difficult after the Fu Tiao adaptation.

And if it's just ordinary difficulty, that's fine, the point is...

This Fao seems to be trying to shock them. After listening to it once, he specially slowed down the video and the sheet music, and used techniques such as sound comparison to prove that Fu Tiao and the sheet music reproduced by them are exactly the same sound. .

If only the sounds are the same and the number of notes is large, some people can still say that Fu Tiao is playing randomly, isn't it just playing a lot of messy notes?Who wouldn't know this?

In order to make everyone give up, Fao also specially connected with the professor of Huaguo Music Central Academy, and randomly selected some of the music scores for him, hoping that he could take everyone to analyze the music scores.

Unexpectedly, when the professor looked at the music score, his expression changed from calm and calm at the beginning, to the analysis of the music score, which gradually changed to "who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do?" ?” at a loss.

If there are still people who will say that this is their scribbled music score, so that the professor can't see it and can't analyze it.

To prevent this, Faol asked the same.

As a result, the professor said directly without any hesitation: "Scribble? It's funny, why don't you write a scribble and show me? I might not even be able to write out the subtlety of the harmony design, but still scribble? What are you kidding?" Woolen cloth?"

At this point, Faol ended the video with a smile.

At the end of the video, he said helplessly: "Although we can reproduce the notes of Fu Tiao, due to personal technical and time constraints, we may not be able to reproduce Fu Tiao's performance in such a short period of time. So I can only show you the sound synthesized by computer, I hope everyone can understand.

Finally, thank you for watching, this video production is not easy, I hope you don’t forget the one-click and three-link, thank you everyone! "

The voice fell, and the video ended.

Seeing all this, Fu Tiao fell into deep thought.

Until the waiter knocked on the door.

"Mr. Fu, are you there? Mr. Harry sent me to ask if you would be honored to have dinner with him?"

Fu Tiao stood up, pushed open the door, and saw that the waiter outside the door did not answer, but asked.

"Do you have good recording equipment here? I want to...record a composition."
