Chapter 367 68. Recording Adventures 【Part [-]】

Which one do you draw, how do you draw it, which one do I draw, where do I draw it, which one does she draw, and what color does she use. (×)

What are we going to draw. (√)-
Rehearsal is such a contradictory thing, the more rehearsals, the fewer problems, and the more rehearsals, the more problems.

A small problem was solved in the last second, and a big problem may be involved in the next second.

Solving a big problem in the next second may ignore a small problem in the previous second.

As is often the case when several inexperienced musicians get together for a rehearsal, the frequency and extent of problems depends on the individual level of each of them.

The higher the personal level, the more common the problems will be, and the more difficult the problems will be, and the more difficult they will be to solve.

This is why most of the internationally renowned chamber orchestras are composed of a group of people over the age of 45. Don't think that they are late bloomers.

These guys have reached the level of soloists at a young age, so where does their time go?

Most of it was contributed to the rehearsal room, to the day-to-day, year-to-year discovery and problem-solving.

Suddenly one day, a large-scale music event pushed their Beethoven String Quartet to the world stage.

A song became famous all over the world.

This is the story of the rise of a certain professional chamber music ensemble, and to be honest, they are one of the lucky ones in a million.

Little do they know that there are too many chamber orchestras that have experienced similar experiences to them, but they eventually disbanded because of a lack of luck.

Although art is higher than life, those who engage in art still need to eat.

As an important performance form of classical music, chamber music now has a complete business operation system, including but not limited to musicians' packaging, resume writing, etc.

Musicians are like commodities placed in a showcase. Their combination is like a three-piece set of tea sets or a four-piece set of home textiles with an eight-piece set of screwdrivers. All of their practices are expressing a tragic emotion to a limited audience, please, come and listen to their music.

Someone asked, and said that it was so miserable that the group of musicians seemed to be begging on their knees.

Believe it or not, it really is.

Don’t think that this will attract audiences. Today’s music audiences, like text readers, have higher and higher tastes, more handsome, more beautiful, and more vicious eyes. They all have one common characteristic, That is to have great wisdom far beyond the author.

They no longer pay much attention to the short stories of musicians, they know what kind of works are more worthy of their payment.

But in any case, they will not pay for Czerny op256.

Perhaps as Qin Yong said, if a professional trio begins with Czerny's works, then they are doomed not to even lick the slop that dripped on the ground.

Fortunately, Li An, Chen Xuan and Wang Panpan are not planning to form a three-person chamber orchestra, returning to reality, returning from the world of musicians to the real world. The three of them just decided to rehearse such a work temporarily for a little work at hand. .

But the problems kept popping up one after another, and at the end Wang Panpan almost lost his way. What were they doing? Wasn't it just to record a promotional video for recruiting students?

One night in April.

Ang Lee: "We still have time."

Chen Xuan: "Do it again."

Wang Panpan: "Sister, it's twelve o'clock."

Chen Xuan: "Hold on, Panpan."

Li Ang: "Just take a night shift."

Wang Panpan: "Is there any overtime pay?"

Li An: "Hurry up and take a short video and send it to your brother, maybe there will be."

It was already 02:30 in the morning when Wang Panpan came home and lay down on the bed. She was so happy when she closed her eyes.

What makes her happy is not that she can finally sleep, but what makes him happy is that the boss and sister Xuan have finally reached a "reconciliation."

She finally didn't have to listen to the two people fighting over the style of the work. Once the style was determined, she didn't have to worry about every note.

The next night, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of their music had been upgraded to a higher level. Before she could be happy, she heard that the two of them started again because of the speed problem of a paragraph interface.

It's okay, it's just a small problem, and the boss finally compromised, okok, let's continue.

Ang Lee was at a disadvantage because he had never rehearsed this kind of chamber music work. If the three of them had a next time, he would definitely ask everyone to discuss and determine the performance style of the repertoire at the beginning, not like this time, Row and explore.

Qin Yong later discussed this issue with Li An.

Qin Yong said that if the ensemble process is compared to a group of people painting a picture together, then the rehearsal is the seminar before the painting.

What are you discussing?

Which one do you draw, how do you draw it, which one do I draw, where do I draw it, which one does she draw, and what color does she use. (×)

What are we going to draw. (√)
As a conductor with professional learning experience, his overall view of rehearsal works is far superior to that of the three of them. To be reasonable, shouldn't he say hello to the three of them in advance before rehearsing? explain.

It should be, but Qin Yong felt that with Chen Xuan and Li An, he had nothing to worry about.

But what Qin Yong never expected was that under the leadership of Li An and Chen Xuan, the first full video recorded by the three people gave him a "professional" feeling.

Some details were polished completely beyond his expectations.

It can be said that the works presented by the three have escaped his inherent cognition of domestic amateur ensemble groups.

Awesome.

But despite this, he still suggested that Ang Lee should not spend any more time and effort on this ensemble, because Qin Yong knew that in the future, what is needed is not only speculation and assumptions, but time and rehearsal experience have already determined the composition of the three. The maximum expiration limit for the work.

Li An understands, Chen Xuan understands, but Wang Panpan doesn't understand. With previous experience, she thinks they can be better. She knows that she is holding back, and she is willing to work harder.

Otherwise, how can we say that Wang Panpan is the biggest beneficiary of this rehearsal activity? Although Li and Chen understand it, they are not reconciled.

Just like that, after Qin Yong's call, the two sensible people and Wang Panpan, who was dizzy and hard-working, did not choose to give up, and continued on the road. Using the last little time before the video, they broke through two more problems one after another.

Just like the humorous piano jumping at the moment facing the sharp high-pitched whistle of the flute, stepping on the solid ladder drawn by the cello calmly and jumping up layer by layer.

As the piano jumped faster and faster, the flute hovered upwards, and the vibrato of the cello seemed to cover the entire music scene with a layer of mist.

The three voices finally merged to one point, and exploded over the stage in an instant, like a colorful rain flower.

With such a gorgeous musical color, no one would dare to think that this is the work of the piano godfather Czerny.

When the end of the music comes, the three of them are like one. After the baptism of the development department, the theme finally reappears in the brushes of each of them.

If you make it clear what to draw, no one will have any problems.

Blue piano, red flute, purple cello, playing in unison.

Three sets of cameras freeze at this moment.

In front of the piano, Li An's fingers were beating fast, his expression was still like a calm sea, Chen Xuan's passionate eyes hid the last sunset glow in the sky before sunset, Wang Panpan's arm holding the bow in the air moved, and every tough backside seemed to be engraved Looking at the scenes of laughter and quarrels that happened in the fourth classroom recently.

The anxious shouts of nervousness finally disappeared in an instant along with a series of up-running pianos, and were replaced by a burst of bright light. The joy, distress, and longing were shattered at this moment, turning into powder that covered the sky Notes like elves floated throughout the concert hall.

The sonorous ending sentence progresses layer by layer in the overlapping of three colors, and finally falls to the final swan song with passion.

Raise your arms!Take it easy!Stop the bow!

For a moment, the three of them made their respective actions at the same time.

The music stopped abruptly, leaving only the lingering sound floating slowly towards the top of the concert hall.

One second, two seconds, and only the third second, Li An gently raised his right foot.

At this point, the concert hall fell into complete silence.

There was no applause, no cheers, but there was no sound left at this time.

In the last row of the auditorium, Qin Yong had forgotten that his fists were still clenched. He didn't know how long he hadn't heard such great live chamber music.

He wants to applaud, he wants to shout bravo, but he has to restrain himself because this is the recording site.

Lao Bian didn’t seem as excited as Qin Yong. He looked at the stage with a smile and looked very peaceful. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment, but he had to say that he hadn’t encountered such a smooth live recording job for a long time. .

It passed perfectly in one pass, whether it is the picture or the sound, he only needs to do a little bit of post-processing.

The staff in charge of the video also breathed a sigh of relief. This one time means that they have completed one-third of their workload today.

Chen Xuan and Wang Panpan on the stage tried their best to calm down their surging emotions, and only the three of them knew that this time was undoubtedly the best time they have completed since the rehearsal.

At this moment, Ang Li probably had no time to recollect the music just now. From the moment he pressed the last set of chords, he couldn't help but want to sneeze.

The feeling as if someone was rubbing a feather back and forth around his nostrils made him extremely uncomfortable, but he knew that he had to hold back, once the sneeze came out, it might ruin the entire stage performance.

He has even forgotten that the picture can be re-recorded, and the music has already been recorded, so he only needs to blow out this sneeze.

He seemed to be all emotionally involved in this stage performance, and he wanted to put his best side on stage.

All he wanted to hear now was an "ok" from the audience.

His left hand hanging on the right side of his body has also clenched into a fist.

Three seconds is fast, but to others it is just a breath.

Three seconds is slow, and Li An seems to feel that time has come to a standstill due to the itching from his nostrils.

The moment he let go of the pedal, he was slightly distracted, and the resistance from his nasal cavity finally broke through all his defenses.

"Ahhh!!!"

Immediately following the music, a huge sneeze slammed into the keys with great force, and the center of the stage sounded like a plain thunder.

In the next second, Li An was very happy, showing an indescribable ease and comfort on the road, but the two ladies who were closest to him were really frightened.

Think about you just finished playing a work on the stage, and you are in a state of high soul wandering, when suddenly there is a loud noise behind you.

Chen Xuan shivered in fright, covered her chest and turned her head subconsciously for a moment.

Wang Panpan was stunned, and the bow in his hand fell straight to the ground.

"Clap."

moment.

"I'm sorry."
-
12:00, restaurant on the second floor of Chengdu Concert Hall.

"It's like this in the beginning of spring. Recently, many people like to sneeze," said the old man, beckoning the waiter to bring over two more bowls of rice, and then turned to look at Li An, "Is Teacher Li allergic to catkins?"

Li An thought that he didn't have this problem before, the morning was purely an accident, "It's all right, maybe it's because I got a little angry recently, and I was too dry in the morning."

Qin Yong took the words: "Anyway, everyone pays more attention to their bodies recently. The weather this year is also strange. The temperature suddenly dropped a while ago, and it's so hot these two days."

Wang Panpan: "I think the highest temperature today is 25 degrees."

Chen Xuan: "Hey."

Wang Panpan: "What's the matter, Miss Xuan?"

Chen Xuan thought of last summer again, looked at Li An with a wry smile and said, "Scared."

Li An couldn't understand this look, "Your summer in Rongcheng is really scary."

Qin Yong pursed his lips: "Don't think about this and that, you are not from Rongcheng now?"

Wang Panpan laughed and said, "That's right, sister Xuan will move her hukou here sometime."

Chen Xuan smiled and said nothing.

When the old man heard this, he immediately understood that Li An had moved his household registration, so he asked, "Mr. Li and Mr. Chen, where are the two hometowns?"

Li An: "She is from Yanshi, and I am from Yucheng."

The old man sighed: "Sure enough, there are beauties in Jiaodong, Mr. Li is very lucky."

Chen Xuan was a little embarrassed by what she said, but Li An was of course a little proud, "Haha, thank you, thank you, you are so right."

The old man followed suit with a smile: "Hey, I have the impression that you people in Ganbei speak with a strong nasal voice."

Li An thought for a while: "It's okay, my father's generation had a heavy accent, but it's much better in our generation."

At this time, the waiter came to the table with two bowls of rice, and the old man asked the waiter to ask the kitchen to make another mapo tofu. There were six dishes on the table, and the mapo tofu was eaten quickly.

"The time is not enough for the reception. Let's make do with it at noon. Don't mind, everyone. After we finish our work in the afternoon, Lao Qin will treat you in the evening. I will take everyone to eat fish heads, just in time for Mr. Chen to try our local aquatic products." .”

Hahaha.

There is one thing to say, several people like to see Qin Yong's speechless face, that little head shaking.

"Does Teacher Li drink alcohol?"

"Can you have a drink?"

"Great, let's have a good drink tonight."

Hearing this, Qin Yong couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. It was another good show tonight. He knew the old man's drinking capacity, and it was indeed okay, but he still didn't know Li An's drinking capacity.

The meal was almost done, and Lao Bian planned to arrange for a few people to take a break, but Li An said that he wanted to prepare again, and recorded his Bei Shisan first in the afternoon.

"Go and rest, I'm going back to the concert hall first."

Seeing this, Chen Xuan wanted to accompany Li An, and Wang Panpan didn't feel like going to rest alone, so the group went back to the concert hall.

The recording in the morning was very smooth, but it was re-recorded several times later.

The reason is that Qin Yong and Li An thought that the first pass of the picture could not be used, and the sneeze really affected the integrity of the picture.

However, the old Bian Wang Panpan and Chen Xuan held the opposite opinion. They thought this coincidence was very dramatic.

The two hours at noon flew by, and when Li An was about to raise his hand to signal, he knew he was ready.

Bei Shisan once passed it, which is his small goal for today.
