Chapter 91

Yang Jingxing never misses the Chinese class on Tuesday mornings now, because the professor in his 50s is very knowledgeable. He speaks eloquently about ancient and modern Chinese and foreign cultures and arts, and has expertise in poetry research.

Yang Jingxing has already recited the lyrics written by Qi Qingnuo's mother countless times in his heart, hoping that practice makes perfect, and love will grow over time, so that he will be inspired by the words and be able to blend in with each other when composing.

In the afternoon there was solfeggio and English class, Yang Jingxing skipped class again, and worked hard in [-] by himself.Jian Yu is indeed a cultural person with a musician husband, and the lyrics are really well written.Yang Jingxing was originally worried that there would be a problem with the chorus, but after he had a general idea of ​​the theme melody, he found that this problem did not exist at all.The seemingly beautiful and indifferent words in the lyrics actually have strong thoughts and feelings.

Yang Jingxing originally wanted to take a gorgeous route in the accompaniment of the soundtrack, but in the end he chose piano and pipa.But the instrumental music here is not a pure accompaniment, but the other two protagonists besides the female vocals. Almost two independent voices and two female voices echo each other, and the piano is responsible for more chord textures.

Usually, the round singing has the same melody, but Yang Jingxing came up with a different tone. Although the theme is unified, the difference is still relatively large, and it has to be closely related to the emotion of the lyrics.

A song almost needs to write the melody of four voices, which is also nerve-wracking.

It was after six o'clock that Yu Xinting came to invite Yang Jingxing to dinner.But Yang Jingxing actually said, "Can you bring it here for me?"

Yu Xinting and An Xin hurriedly went and refused to accept Yang Jingxing's money.Half an hour later, each of them came back with a bag, a few boxes of rice, a few dishes, and a bowl of soup.While the two girls were still laying them out, Yang Jingxing started to gobble them up. He finished the two boxes of lunch in 5 minutes, and then sat down in front of the double-row key to continue.

Yu Xinting and An Xin ate slowly, looking at Yang Jingxing from time to time.After eating, they cleaned up again, and when they found that Yang Jingxing was not in the mood to chat with them, they prepared to leave.

Yu Xinting asked: "Do you want to eat tonight?"

Yang Jingxing said: "No need... After finishing this song, let's go eat hot pot."

Yu Xinting smiled: "Okay, I want to eat too."

Yang Jingxing asked again: "Where's your braid?"

Yu Xinting looked at her chest and said, "No piercing."

An Xin said, "Pie one up now."

Yang Jingxing quickly said, "No, I want to concentrate."

After ten o'clock in the evening, An Xin and Yu Xinting came again and brought the laundry. As a thank you, they both tied two braids.

Yu Xinting was a little bit apologetic: "I made hers, and it's not as beautiful as hers."

Yang Jingxing said: "They all look good, like two sisters."

An Xin smiled: "I'm my sister."

Yang Jingxing changed his words: "Like twins."

An Xin still wants to be a sister.Yu Xinting put two clothes bags on the chair and explained: "This bag is mine, this is An Xin's."

Yang Jingxing said, "I can recognize it."

After returning home in the middle of the night, Yang Jingxing washed his clothes first.Shaking off one by one, Yu Xinting's long coat was actually wrapped in an autumn dress.Pale pink, thin, soft and small, I haven't seen it before.

On Wednesday, Yang Jingxing, like most people, escaped the ideological and moral cultivation and legal basic courses.He stayed in [-] from eight o'clock in the morning, and it took only half an hour to eat lunch. He didn't accompany Yu Xinting and the others to order Xiaochao.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Qingnuo came to visit the class at [-], still panting in a hurry, stomped a bottle of mineral water in front of Yang Jingxing and said, "We just met No. [-], I laughed so hard." One of the boys was numbered the third by [-].They all said that this man is very comedic and good at making jokes.

Yang Jingxing asked: "Are you bullying people again?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "Let's do good deeds as a cover and send her out."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "You guys want to help each other."

Qi Qingnuo said: "I have high defense, so I don't need... Let me see."

After reading all the scattered scores or clips on Yang Jingxing's computer, Qi Qingnuo said, "So fast...what's for dinner?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Yu Xinting and the others gave it to me."

Qi Qingnuo envied: "Enjoy it so much? Tell her to count me in."

Yang Jingxing said: "Call yourself...you can ask Wang Rui and Nian Qing if they are free tomorrow afternoon, and we will rehearse."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Can you do it well tomorrow afternoon?"

Yang Jingxing said, "Almost."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Sing for Sister Ran and Fu Feirong?"

Yang Jingxing said, "This is the plan for the time being."

Qi Qingnuo knocked his half-empty water bottle on the chair: "Aren't you afraid that [-] will be jealous?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "This is my purpose."

Qi Qingnuo was proud again: "You're going to make a mistake."

After having dinner together, the girls took their leave and let Yang Jingxing continue to struggle.

On Thursday afternoon, several people assembled.Yang Jingxing printed four copies of the score, Yu Xinting was in charge of the piano, and Wang Rui was in charge of the pipa.Qi Qingnuo sang the piano part, and Nian Qing sang the pipa part.The whole song is counted as four parts, two pairs cooperate, and the two pairs complement each other and complement each other.

The name of the song was still Qi Qingnuo's mother's original name, "Flowing Water Between Fingers".The lyrics are rigorous interlaced interlaced rhymes, and the two female voices are singing in interlaced rounds.As a composer, Yang Jingxing first talked about the general idea, and briefly talked about the structure of the song and the basic requirements for performance and singing.

Qi Qingnuo worried: "Will it be too messy?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Try it once and talk again, if it doesn't work, change it."

So the girls read the scores and became familiar with their responsibilities.Yu Xinting soon started playing, discussing with An Xin.Not to be outdone, Wang Rui didn't say much, and devoted herself seriously.

As far as the performance of the two instruments is concerned, the piano is a little more difficult, because the main melody is in cooperation with a single vocal, but the chord texture serves the overall effect, which is a bit separated, unlike the harmony and chords of ordinary pieces or accompaniments tightly bound.Yang Jingxing learned the pipa for three to five days, and used what he knew to give full play to its expressive power. Although the melody is a combination of ancient and modern, the playing technique is still traditional, which can't help Wang Rui at all.

As for the round singing of Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing, although the original voices of the two parts of the song are not so difficult to be tactful or exaggerated high-pitched, but the comparison and dependence between the two before are relatively strong. It is a test of cooperation and independence.It is not impossible to sing separately and independently, and it will be nice, but the effect will be far worse than the feeling of two-in-one.

Both Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo are professional, and Nian Qing is more professional in singing. The two compare the similarities and differences of each other's melodies, and feel the singing in a low voice.

Qi Qingnuo suddenly said to Yang Jingxing: "You can't go away first, give us half an hour."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Okay, I'll go buy water for you."

Wang Rui said: "It's so cold, I want hot 'milk' tea."

Nian Qing smiled: "You go to KFC and wait, and bring it back when you receive our call."

"Okay, make sure it's still warm when you come back." Yang Jingxing went out and closed the door.

Qi Qingnuo began to direct, asking Wang Rui and Yu Xinting to come first.The prelude this time is the pipa, which is soft with a slight ancient rhyme. It has been repeated several times to create a solid foundation for the audience.Then came the piano's variation of the prelude, and the rhythm was a little faster. Finally, the piano's modulation combined with the pipa first brought in Nianqing's voice.

Nian Qing hummed the first line of the lyrics lightly, beat the time by herself, then looked at Qi Qingnuo, and let her repeat the same line...the first two lines were the same, and only after that did they start to change and compare.

Qi Qingnuo hummed a few words and called: "Xin Ting, you play fast, don't rush!" Pursue the feeling of catching up and comparing, but the performer himself must not really catch up.

Wang Rui also said: "Don't think it looks simple, be serious, and let the strange uncle laugh!"

Yu Xinting nodded and rubbed her hands.In fact, Yang Jingxing has marked the details of the performance and singing on the score, but Yu Xinting and the others have just read the score after all, and this song has a completely different structure and rhythm from the previous "Sun in the Rain".

Do it again, Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing stopped humming, Qi Qingnuo was the conductor, and beat the time for Yu Xinting and Wang Rui.After all, they are all professional, and this time they performed completely.

Yu Xinting turned her head in surprise: "It's really nice!" It's a pity that Yang Jingxing is not here.

Wang Rui said: "The part in the middle doesn't feel quite right, isn't it coming soon?"

Qi Qingnuo frowned and read the score: "That's right, I didn't pay attention, come again...Xin Ting, take a look at the third line on the fourth page, don't stress too much." Then he severely accused Wang Rui: "Look at you How did you play the ending, I am speechless, you think you have disarmed the overlord."

Wang Rui shouted: "You are the one who ordered blindly! Come again!"

After a few people summed it up, they did it again. Nian Qing tried to sing softly, and Qi Qingnuo couldn't help it. After it was over, they summed up and dealt with the details, and then the four of them came together.

Singing it over and over again was much more difficult than playing it over and over again. Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing didn't bother to criticize each other anymore, so let's sum up their own problems.

Nian Qing repented: "I shouldn't sing so high here."

Qi Qingnuo said: "I was slow and went to listen to the piano."

An Xin is a bystander: "I feel that your voice is too loud...the pipa is also a little weak."

Wang Rui was irritable: "It was too heavy just now."

After coming over and over again, the girls found that this is not a simple song.The requirements for the details of singing and performance are a bit harsh, and if one note is wrong, it will be so abruptly wrong.

At three o'clock, An Xin was replaced in front of the electric piano, and the girls only felt a little bit.Wang Rui was the first to be proud: "I'm fine this time! It's a master! You haven't let go yet!"

Nian Qingfan: "He said to be brisk, long and tall, how can we be brisk? Let's change."

Qi Qingnuo refused: "I can't even sing."

Indeed, judging from the melody, the song has a total of 5 minutes and is divided into three sections.The first stanza is soft and has nothing to say.The second paragraph is a bit more complicated. I feel that the two singers have different style requirements. Yang Jingxing marked the part that Nian Qing is in charge of with brisk and powerful. I don't know what that means.And Qi Qingnuo's part is marked soft and tactful, not quite like her style.The third paragraph is the climax and the ending, but it seems relatively easy, especially the last twenty or thirty bars, which seem to explode together, but it is much easier to handle.

Yu Xinting still felt: "It's already very good, let him come back and tell us."

Qi Qingnuo shook his head: "No... This part is a bit like an opera, an opera? Isn't it?"

Nian Qing nodded: "I also feel a little bit."

There were basically no major problems with the two instruments, and Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo followed, and it felt like the essence of the song itself was not brought out.It is now certain that this is a song with a complicated structure but is quite nice, but it just cannot be sung well... Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing can't sing either.

Pondering the details bit by bit.For this song, different stages have different requirements for singing, otherwise the expressiveness will be greatly reduced.Both Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo discovered this, so Wang Rui and Yu Xinting rested for a while and asked them to practice.Nian Qing also wanted to sit behind the drum and beat the rhythm, but Qi Qingnuo vetoed it.

Look at the time, it's four o'clock.Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing felt that it was almost done, and asked Wang Rui and Yu Xinting who were drawing on the blackboard to take their seats.

Qi Qingnuo solemnly declared: "One last time! Don't be embarrassed to eat later!"

An Xin prepared the recording pen and held it among the four singers.

For the last time, it felt good.Wang Rui nodded in satisfaction: "Well, I'm worthy of you."

Nian Qing scolded happily: "Tmd, Yang Jingxing is playing tricks... he is not allowed to sing for others!"

Yu Xinting was happy: "It really sounds good."

Qi Qingnuo quickly connected the recording pen to the computer.The recording effect is definitely poor, but you can listen to the overall feeling.After several girls huddled in front of the computer and finished listening, Nian Qing said, "Find a recording studio and try."

Qi Qingnuo called Yu Xinting: "Call!"

More than a quarter of an hour later, Yang Jingxing came back with two big bags of fast food: "Thank you for your hard work, eat while it's hot."

Yu Xinting said, "Listen first."

Yang Jingxing said: "Eat first, otherwise it will be cold."

The five girls ate a lot, and Wang Rui also reported: "Yu Xinting and I are already fine, and the two singers are not professional... Ouch, it's so hot!"

Yu Xinting gnawed on the chicken wings: "No, they sing very well."

Qi Qingnuo complained: "What about my partner, give it to me... Sister Ran is fine, can Fu Feirong sing?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Learn slowly, just let her know that there are many ways to sing."

Nian Qing was dissatisfied: "Oh, use us as experimental subjects."

Yang Jingxing explained: "If none of you can sing well, it must be my song's fault."

An Xin said: "I think if it is for a professional singer, if it is produced well, it will definitely be successful."

After eating, the girls went to wash their hands, wash their faces, and get ready.Yang Jingxing sat behind the double row of keys beside the podium, full of anticipation.Yu Xinting sat in front of the electric steel and said, "An Xin played it too."

Yang Jingxing said, "It's the same as listening to you."

Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing were standing, each holding a score, facing Yang Jingxing.Qi Qingnuo called Wang Rui: "Let's get started."

Hey, the author is different here. Wang Rui shook her head when she played the pipa, and An Xin even helped her and Yu Xinting turn over the score.

Nian Qing's voice was a little softer than in the previous practice, and so was Qi Qingnuo.But after they sang a few lines, they looked at each other. Could it be that Yang Jingxing had a motivating effect?

At about 2 minutes, a piece of flowing pipa introduced a rhythm change, and Yang Jingxing began to nod.This is not a simple song. It is already remarkable that four girls can practice it in three to four hours.

The whole middle section is a kind of flowing clouds and flowing water with a little strength. Although the singer may not be relaxed, the listener should get this feeling.The melody is brisk but still powerful, occasionally tactful, very pleasant.

The latter part is the climax and the end. The feeling of chasing each other between Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo is strengthened, the rhythm is suddenly half faster, and the pipa quickly rises in a short transition with the tone, and the piano seems to encourage cheering behind .The strength of the melody and rhythm is strengthened, and the piano plays the role of motivator, and the rich chords and melody quickly inspire the singer and the audience.

The ending is very short, and it is collected very quickly. It is not a traditional method, which makes people feel unfinished.The girls all looked at Yang Jingxing, and he had already started applauding, very vigorously.

"Let's evaluate it." Nian Qing panted a little.

Yang Jingxing said, "Good!"

Qi Qingnuo was dissatisfied: "Be more to the point, we welcome criticism and correction."

Yang Jingxing said: "It's really good. It was still a half-finished product. You helped me finish it...but I can discuss it with you again."

The so-called re-discussion is not a major aspect, it is just some small details, mainly about singing.But the correction of these details will not improve the effect of the scene much, it is only for the recording studio.

Wang Rui exposed Yang Jingxing: "You make the two of us want to admire you, don't you?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I want to admire you."

Qi Qingnuo asked Yang Jingxing: "Really sing for Fu Feirong?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "You take the score with them, and take a look first."

Wang Rui asked Yang Jingxing to treat her to dinner, and the other girls were not too polite.When they walked out of the North Tower, all of them shivered in the cold wind with high spirits and spring breeze.
