Chapter 109 Let me try? (First update)
Because there were too few scores, they began to separate the scores, each taking one piece. Fang Xiu asked Zhou Yan for paper and pen, and began to copy the scores.
Seeing that Fang Xiu wanted paper and pens, and others came to ask for them, Zhou Yan could only search from home, and finally found seven or eight pens for them.
Fang Xiu had just started copying the music score, but Yu Ran had already picked up the violin and started playing.
This piece of music is not difficult in the first place, and because of her high level of sight-reading, it is no problem for her to just play it when she sees the score.
When Yu Ran was playing, the others at Yangyin just kept an ear to listen, but most of their attention was still on the score.
But Anita Mui was different. As soon as the violin sound came out, all her attention was attracted.
Unlike the "Nightingale" they played before, this new song has no brewing or cover-up. At the beginning, sad emotions come in like a tide, drowning people in it.
When people are drowning in the tide, they can only see the faint light under the water, which is like the passage of time, making people feel trance-like.
When Anita Mui heard "The Nightingale" for the first time, what came to her mind was the scene of going out for a walk at night and hearing the singing of birds. But this time, all she thought of was her past unhappiness. Family, love, as long as you are unhappy, no matter what it is, it may come to your mind at any time.
It has no specific theme, only the word sadness.
People who have had a difficult life can easily be aroused by this song, and Anita Mui is obviously not a person who has had a smooth life since she was a child.
Although she is very prosperous now, there have been many ups and downs along the way.
Although Anita Mui is the youngest in the family, she is not loved by her parents. She and her sister mainly want to make money for their elder brother.
She thought about her father again, thinking that if his father had not died young, maybe she and her sister would have had a better life when they were young, and her mother would not be so patriarchal, let alone follow her when she grew up. Claim fraud.
...
Because Zhou Yan did not include the bamboo flute in this piece of music, he is relatively free at the moment.
Also relatively free is conductor Yu Feng. Naturally, he doesn’t have to play this kind of temporary practice piece. So they can sight-read directly after getting the score, but the conductor's skill is not in this.
So while they were practicing, the two of them were chatting next to them.
After chatting for a while, Yu Feng had something to do at school, so he left first.
After Yu Feng left, Zhou Yan saw Anita Mui sitting alone next to her and walked over with a smile.
Zhou Yan noticed that Anita Mui was wearing sunglasses, which surprised him.
Ever since entering the courtyard, Anita Mui has not worn sunglasses in the house, and it was the same when she came here today. After Zhou Yan opened the door for her, she took off her sunglasses. She was quite careful about this.
Zhou Yan noticed that there was no water in Anita Mui's cup again, so he smiled and said, "Miss Mei, let me add some water to you."
Anita Mui was in a daze when she heard Zhou Yan's voice , came back to his senses, cleared his throat, "Thank you... but don't call me Miss Mei. Call me Amei or Sister Mei."
Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay, Sister Mei."
He also noticed that Anita Mui's voice was a little wrong, a little crying.
Maybe it was because I heard "If Love Has God's Will" and felt it.
This is not surprising. Anita Mui is a singer herself, so it is normal for her to be more sensitive to music than ordinary people.
After adding water to Anita Mui, Zhou Yan looked at the time and saw that it was already getting late, so he came to Fang Xiu and reminded her, "Junior Sister Fang, it's almost dinner time."
Fang Xiu had just gotten a new piece of music and was still excited about it. He was reluctant to let it go, so he said, "Senior brother, go ahead and put the rice in the pot, wash the vegetables, and choose one. Call me when you're done. I'll cook it later." "
Zhou Yan scratched his head, "Okay. "
Then Zhou Yan said sorry to Anita Mui and then went to the kitchen.
Arrived in the kitchen, Zhou Yan rolled up his sleeves and started working.
At first, just as Fang Xiu said, he washed the rice and put it into the pot, and then prepared the dishes.
But after waiting for the dishes to be prepared, Zhou Yan thought that the dishes were all prepared, so he simply cooked the dishes. In fact, many times the troublesome part of cooking is not the step after heating the pot, but the preliminary side dishes. .
After the dishes are prepared, the rest is easy.
There are more people and fewer people cooking, so Zhou Yan can only reduce the variety and increase the portion.
Braised tofu with meat, roasted chicken with potatoes, braised carp, three meat dishes, except for one braised carp, braised tofu with meat and roasted chicken with potatoes are both served in basins.
There is also pork ribs and winter melon soup, plus two seasonal vegetables, for a total of six dishes. The pork ribs are stewed in advance, and the seasonal vegetables are easy to stir-fry. Just pour them into the pot and stir them a few times.
After the dishes were cooked, Zhou Yan ran to the piano room to greet him.
“It’s time to eat.”
Fang Xiu, who was practicing, was stunned when she heard about eating. She had been waiting for Zhou Yan to call her to cook. Wait, wait. Just forget about it.
Fang Xiu hurried to the living room and saw a table of dishes. He was surprised and said, "Senior brother Zhou Yan, are all these dishes made by you?"
Zhou Yan nodded with a smile, "Yes. .”
"So you can cook." "I didn't say I couldn't cook."
"Then you still..."
At this time, others People also walked into the living room one after another. Zhang Xinning saw the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Zhou Yan, you are so secretive. Although you haven't tasted it yet, looking at the color and smell, it should be... Not bad."
Zhou Yan laughed, "I know these things, and I learned them from Fang Xiu."
At this time, Fang Xiu put some food into a bowl, tasted it, then rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, your food is better than mine, and you said you learned from me."
Zhou Yan Without this incident, he was worried that the cooking job would fall on him in the future.
Cooking is fine for two meals, and he even enjoys it a little bit, but too much is really not good.
Of course, that’s what Fang Xiu and the others said, and they wouldn’t really let Zhou Yan cook.
Anita Mui also stayed here to eat at noon. The food was not exquisite, but she could get used to it.
When lunch was over, Zhou Yan thought that Anita Mui would leave, but she still stayed. Judging from her posture, it seemed that she wanted to wait until everyone had practiced "If Love Has God's Will" before she could listen to the complete performance.
It wasn’t until about three o’clock in the afternoon that everyone really started practicing together. Fortunately, the music was relatively simple and everyone was a master, so they mastered it quickly.
After practicing for more than an hour, the effect has already appeared.
At five o'clock in the evening, Zhou Yan took out his Walkman and asked them to play it seriously, and he recorded it.
But after recording, Zhou Yan always felt that something was missing.
After listening to the song several times, Zhou Yan finally came to the conclusion that the song lacked some vocals. If a few vocals could be added to the main melody, it would add to the sad mood of the song.
The human voice is originally an instrument, and the human voice is a very plastic instrument. It is very free and expressive when expressing emotions.
Zhou Yan looked around among the musicians, and then asked Yu Ran, "Yu Ran, how is your vocal music?"
Yu Ran smiled sheepishly, "The theory is still there. Okay.”
The theory is okay, but the singing is not good.
But Zhou Yan still said, "Hum a few lines of the second section of the melody for me."
Although Yu Ran said that she could only do it with theory, Zhou Yan still wanted her to try it, because Yu Ran's The sound is very nice, which is her innate advantage.
Yu Ran nodded and began to hum the second melody.
After Yu Ran finished humming, Zhou Yan frowned. There were no problems with Yu Ran's tone and pitch, but the breath and support were a bit off, and the effect was not up to Zhou Yan's expectations.
Zhou Yan can also sing himself, but his problem is similar to Yu Ran's. Because he does not usually receive functional training related to vocal music, he has problems with breath control.
He could find the pitch, but the pitch was only the first step. The same sound sounded by different people would have completely different feelings.
Just when Zhou Yan was in trouble, Anita Mui suddenly spoke, "Zhou Yan, how about I give it a try?"
Zhou Yan looked at Anita Mui unexpectedly, "Sister Mei, are you coming?"
"Can I?" Anita Mui asked with a smile.
Actually, Zhou Yan just thought about letting Anita Mui give it a try, but Zhou Yan didn't mention it, not only because the two are not very familiar with each other, but also because Anita Mui is a professional singer, and it is difficult to mention this kind of busyness.
But since Anita Mui took the initiative to mention it, Zhou Yan nodded, "Of course."
Zhou Yan thought, anyway, it's just a demo tape, and he can just find someone else to record the official version later, and there won't be any problems in the future. dispute.
Seeing Zhou Yan nod, Anita Mui stood up, then cleared her throat and started humming.
In fact, ever since Anita Mui heard this melody for the first time in the morning, she has often hummed it in a low voice, so she is already very familiar with this melody. She doesn’t need to prepare too much now, she just hums it directly. out.
When she started humming, everyone present couldn't help but nod.
When the professional singer opened her mouth, it was indeed different. Anita Mui had perfect control over the breath and emotions, and she immediately expressed the sadness in the melody.
After finishing humming, Anita Mui still felt dissatisfied, but Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Sister Mei, it's already very good. Let them start, let's record it in full."
< br>Anita Mui also knew that there was no point in being picky at this time, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Then the musicians started playing, and when the second melody started, Anita Mui's vocals came in.
Zhou Yan listened and nodded. Sure enough, after adding the vocals, the effect of the whole song was much better. Although there were no words, only a simple "Ah~", Anita Mui's voice had a strong sense of telling. It adds a lot of color to the melody.
The recording was very good this time. After Zhou Yan finished recording, he stopped and was not ready to record again.
While Zhou Yan was playing with the tape, Anita Mui walked up to Zhou Yan and said with a smile, "Ayan, have you ever thought about turning this piece of your music into a song?"
