Chapter 1530 Talent
In addition, there are a lot of "remnants" left over from the past on the Fengcheng ship.From the warehouse of the planning institute, I got a lot of junk that I collected from the ship at that time: Nie Er brand upright piano, a broken accordion, three guitars without strings, and a set of broken karaoke equipment in the entertainment room. , with LD player; a Shanshui stereo with record player, radio, cassette player and CD player, Toshiba VCR, Sony 21-inch color TV... Finally, there are two big boxes of audio tapes, video tapes, CDs, LDs and vinyl records .

"These things are the history of popular culture in China from the 70s to the 90s." Dongfang Ke couldn't help expressing emotion when sorting out: the oldest part of the tapes in it was not officially released, but was made by an unknown small Hong Kong factory. The song was dubbed from a blank tape, and on the yellowed label paper was faded beautiful pen writing by 21st century standards: "Teresa Teng".

As for those ripped VHS tapes, many of them have nothing written on the label paper, and when they are broadcast on the VCR, they are all vague "yellow tapes" filmed in which country in the Year of the Monkey.

The songs and movies on these tapes were of little value--most of them were found on the hard drives in the planning institute's warehouse, so after inspection, they were all handed over to the IT department to serve as data storage devices.Other things were officially handed over to the Cultural and Propaganda Department and allocated to the Experimental Art Troupe.

For Okamoto, the biggest gain is a set of lamps and consoles in the entertainment room in Fengcheng Wheel. Although the bulbs are almost all broken, the whole set still exists anyway, and it is not bad for stage lighting.

These things should still be usable if someone repairs them.The Planning Institute allocated some new equipment.In particular, a decent video studio was specially built, and even the post-processing equipment was saved.

The recording studio itself is done in an indigenous way. There are few people in the county town, and there are no industries around it, so there is very little environmental noise.Although there is no modern sound-absorbing material, it is not difficult to make it yourself. Whether it is kapok or pulp, these materials have been widely used in Lingao buildings.As for the professional equipment and software, it turned out that the planning institute had already prepared, not only in stock, but also quite professional.

The recording and mixing equipment is actually not that expensive: a relatively good computer, plus a microphone, sound card, microphone preamp, and monitor speakers purchased for 1 yuan are enough to produce a record.As for mixing, it can be solved by software.There are a large number of software effects in the professional circle, all kinds of reverb, equalization, pressure limiter, excitation, pitch correction, rhythm correction... everything is available, not only can beautify the sound, but also can repair a singer who is tone-deficient Perfect like a professional singer.

Although the sound quality is not as good as top-level hardware, ordinary people can't hear the level of grade at all.In this plane of time and space, that kind of sound quality is already at the level against the sky.

Moreover, the recording equipment is actually very durable. If you don’t pay attention to it, it will still have no problem with the sound quality after more than ten years of use.In addition to the spare parts in the warehouse of the Planning Institute, the recording studio will not be a problem for 40 to [-] years.

The only problem is that Lingao can't make tape recorders and tapes at the moment, nor does it produce phonographs and records.This studio is more or less "no hero".

For a while, the Central Experimental Art Troupe was well-equipped and had a lot of people, which made Okamoto feel like "the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong".Dongfang Ke didn't dampen his interest, and let him rush in and out humming "I think Lao Tzu's team only opened at the beginning", and continued to make accounts for Cai Jinkou on his own.

But after today's manpower distribution meeting, Okamoto found that his experimental art troupe lacked the most important asset: "people".

Liu Shuixin was officially transferred in, but no matter how capable she was, she was alone.As for the veterans with other literary expertise, there are not many veterans with various "talents" who can play, play, sing and sing, but there are no idlers everywhere in various departments, and it is difficult to transfer to a full-time job. Ben lobbied and landed only a few "part-time jobs."

There is a shortage of teachers, and there are few suitable performing arts talents.Okamoto wanted to make an opera or something—even if he couldn't make an Italian opera so awesome, an operetta would be fine.He was about to gear up for a big fight, but some idol group popped up to compete with him for resources.

Today is the day of the third trial of the idol group selection, and Liu Shuixin, the "pillar" of the art troupe, has to be a judge.Okamoto couldn't help complaining to Dongfang Ke in the office when he thought that the teachers who were already nervous were split in half by some idol group.

"Well, Liu Shuixin in our Senate is a professional who can sing, dance, and perform." Dongfang Ke was not so "indignant". He listened to Bach's "French Suite" and flipped through the account book Cheng Dong gave him. A sentence without nutrition feels like pure perfunctory.

"You will die if you do less bookkeeping!" Okamoto finally broke out, "You are also an art director after all!"

"Well, it's the deputy director." Dongfang Ke continued his unnutritive tone, put down the account book, "Okamoto, you must have a goal in running this group."

"Of course I'm preparing to rehearse the operettas..."

Dongfang Ke shook his head: "Well, operetta is not bad. But in this way, our experimental troupe is too tall..."

Okamoto understood what he meant, and under the current conditions, making any operetta is just a dream come true.To rehearse a new play, even in the 21st century professional art troupe, it takes half a year to a year to prepare.

"Of course it won't produce results immediately. What I mean is to train actors first, and start training in singing, dancing, art, etc., starting from the most basic things to lay the foundation. After a few years, the conditions will be better before starting the project. .”

"It's too slow, and there are not so many resources invested. The idol groups over there can sing on stage in just a few minutes. Can the aborigines understand? In other words, at least when they appear at the annual meeting, they can cheer up the veterans. We What's there? Tell the girls to go up and pose a few figures?"

"It's always okay to rehearse a few songs, a few dances."

"Well, let's work hard on this. Aren't you learning vocal music, Okamoto? First, give the girls some training in folk singing. Then let Teacher Liu teach some folk dances, classical dances and the like. The troupe will You can act when you're in the middle. At least it's a grade."

"Is this related to operetta?" Okamoto still couldn't forget his "The Merry Widow".

Dongfang Ke laughed in a rare way: "It's okay. But if you can't make some achievements soon, your operetta will have no chance to be staged."

"Okay." Okamoto knew that what Dongfang Ke said was correct, and Fang Fei said "results within a year" to Wu Ciren, maybe he said it to himself.If you have no performance, how can you ask for resources in the future?
"Okay, let's get close to the masses first." Okamoto said, "What else do you have to say?"

"No idea. I have a small opinion. Let's get an orchestra first. I'm afraid we won't be able to get all the orchestras together. If there are any instruments, we will play those instruments first, and train some musicians—no matter what you plan in the future, the orchestra is the basic set. I can start with Teaching people to play the piano, if you don’t have a performance level, you can still get a tenth level in the Music Association.” Dongfang Ke frowned, “Our most embarrassing problem is that there are no real professional-level performers among the elders: Needless to say, my piano, Liu Shui Xin's piano isn't much better, it's probably just an accompaniment level. At the last annual meeting, Lando played and sang a few female veterans mesmerizingly - it seems very good, but in fact he is It’s just that I can play it. I don’t have any orchestral instruments, and I can’t count on Europeans except for violinists. At the same time, Europe seems to be in the early Baroque period. The system is different. Therefore, it is impossible to train high-quality musicians. It feels like You can only teach basic skills, and then let the indigenous students listen to the recording to experience it...

"What you're talking about is really dark. That's it. At best, it's a low-level solo recital. What kind of orchestra are you talking about?"

"There will be results in this way." Dongfang Ke said, "If you want quick results, you can get a folk band..."

"Not a bad idea: Twelve Music Workshops for Women."

"It's a performing group, and it's essentially the same as Wu Ciren's idol group. The main selling point is the visual effects." Dongfang Ke immediately made a strict distinction. .Equipment and personnel are available—or at least readily available.”

"I remember Yang Yun said that among the refugees accommodated in Operation Engine, there were also members of theatrical troupe. Among these people, there should be professional musicians who can be transferred." Okamoto expressed his interest, "It is really impossible to go to Guangzhou and Jiangnan to search for musicians. It's not hard to work."

"Maybe." Dongfang Ke nodded, "Well, speaking of it, the last time I was in the guard post outside Bairen City, I saw a resting guard battalion soldier playing the huqin. I stood there and listened for a long time. Definitely worthy of performance level..."

"Oh? What's his name? Call him here!"

"did not ask."

Okamoto never gave up, he didn't give up, and asked about the date, and planned to go to the guard camp to look for it, no matter what, dig it first and then talk about it.

"There is another veteran who is now working as a music teacher in Fangcaodi. Why don't you recruit him as well."

"There is such a talent?!"

"I was also in charge of the recording studio this time, only to know that there is such a master. The overall plan of the recording studio was made by him. Professionals are much better than two-knife lovers like me..."

"Why didn't you say so earlier."

"You didn't ask me again."

Okamoto decided not to dwell on this question: "What's your name? Don't tell me and didn't ask!"

"It looks like it's called Nangong or something."

"Damn, we are so awesome: Dongfang, Okamoto, and Nangong are all the compound surnames of Gao Dashang."

"Okamoto isn't a double surname—that's the surname of the book."

"Let's talk about this." Okamoto said, "First transfer people to the art troupe!"
