Please, come home and practice the piano

Create a long-lasting piano summer camp brand and recruit a group of extraordinary piano teachers.

Boss X was conceived of this matter long before he met Ang Lee.

After getting to know Ang Lee, he put Ang Lee on his priority list.
-
For Ang Lee, no one knows whether this incident is a good thing or not.

He is now doing the final psychological building work for the children.

Probably because the children have never experienced recording, they are more nervous.

Or maybe the children take today's recording seriously, so they are nervous.

No matter what kind of tension, all Ang Lee can do is repeat it over and over again——

"It's okay, you must be fine."

He was not sure what the specific meaning of repeating this sentence was. Judging from the current situation, he still miscalculated.

The children's expectations for the ensemble were far higher than he expected, for reasons he doesn't yet know.

But what he was sure of was that children were destined to be unable to record the sound effects they imagined.

This comes from a fundamental understanding of the ensemble.

Ensemble requires a lot of time and a little bit of grinding. This process is not about getting fat in one meal.

Three days ago, Ang Lee was worried about whether the children could complete this ensemble with high quality. Now he only hopes that the children can complete it smoothly.

As long as the children had no regrets today, he would have no regrets, and he thought Artillery would not blame a group of hard-working children.

For the past three days, his body has been a little overwhelmed, let alone the children. Every child is already overloaded.

"Okay, put on your formal clothes, let's pack up and get ready to go."

At 11:55, Li An led a team of eight teachers and students, including Chen Xuan, and set off by car to the Chengdu Concert Hall.

The car was found by Lao Ji, and it was still the gl8.

Time was urgent, so everyone finished lunch in the car.

The three-piece set of bread, milk, ham and sausage was quite appetizing for the children.

After eating, Chen Xuan and Ji Yang started putting makeup on the children.

There were constant jokes during the makeup session, which somewhat relieved the tension before the recording.
-
Lao Bian has just finished the last scene and has re-adjusted the on-site equipment. He is just waiting for the arrival of Li An and his party.

At 12:40, eight teachers and students arrived at the Chengdu Concert Hall.

"Brother Bian."

"Mr. Li, Mr. Chen."

Li An stepped forward and shook hands with Lao Bian, and then asked Chen Xuan to take the children backstage to change clothes and warm up.

Several children came to a professional recording scene for the first time. They were both novel and uncontrollably nervous. They followed Chen Xuan and looked around.

Ten minutes later, the children returned to the stage in brand-new dresses, facing the stage light, like a row of little musicians.

At this moment, there are less than 10 minutes left before the official recording.

But in order to save time, Li An and Lao Bian discussed to start recording now.

Lao Bian called the staff to get ready to start work, and the atmosphere in the entire concert hall became serious for a while.

At the same time, Li An: "Ji Yang, get ready."

This recording was recorded live and directly in the hall, unlike in a recording studio.

Considering that it was mainly recorded for children, Lao Bian specially prepared a small sound cover to better collect the sound.

Taking Ji Yang as an example, Lao Bian patiently explained to the children the precautions for recording and the process of entering and leaving the field.

"It doesn't matter if there is a problem the first time, but try not to interrupt it. Don't stop the action. Go through it completely to show our state and mental outlook. Say it again, it doesn't matter if you play it wrong."

"Time is not that tight. If we don't work once, we can do it twice. If we can't do it twice, we can do it three times. Don't be anxious."

"We will leave no one in the audience for a while. Whose turn is it to record? Wait at the entrance of the backstage before going on stage. Look at the gestures of the recording teacher. If he gives you the gestures, you can go on stage, okay?"

The children nodded.

After the old man finished explaining, he looked at Ji Yang: "Are you the first one to go up?"

Ji Yang: "Teacher Bian."

Lao Bian: "You go on stage now and put on those black headphones."

Ji Yang nodded.

Preparations for recording began, and Lao Bian led everyone to the recording studio backstage.

This is also Laobian's office, with all kinds of advanced recording equipment stacked up on top of each other, giving it a very technological feel.

Marco was attracted by the feeling as soon as he entered.

The large screen above the mixing console is divided into three areas, and three different angles clearly show what is happening on the stage at the moment.

Li An reminded: "You can gather around here and look at it for a while, but you can't touch it randomly. These are your teachers' treasures."

Lao Bian waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, come here, Teacher Li, you sit down."

Li Anhe sat next to Lao Bian, took the headphones from Lao Bian and put them on.

Lao Bian also put on his own headphones: "Ji Yang."

"Huh?" A voice from the stage echoed throughout the recording studio.

Then I saw Xiao Ji on the screen sitting up straight.

Several children were very curious about this scene and did not feel comfortable getting closer.

Old Bian smiled at the big screen, "Relax, we can all see you now."

Xiao Ji: "Uh, okay, Teacher Bian, what do I need to do now?"

Old Bian: "Teacher Li, can you listen to the sound?"

Ang Lee: "Okay, Ji Yang, you play the first movement."

Senior Sister Xiao Ji, who received instructions from a distance, began to play the first movement of Moonlight. The deep beginning carries the illusion of tranquil moonlight, and the clear sound of the piano flows from the speaker, and every texture is clearly visible.

Children marveled at 2.0.

Ang Lee: "Okay, let's play the third movement."

Ten seconds later, Li An called to stop.

Old Bian: "Mr. Li, is this voice okay?"

The pianos used for this recording were all Yamah grand pianos. The sound was uniform and responsive, but the bass sounded a bit thin to Ang Lee's ears.

He asked: "Brother Bian, can the bass be thicker?"

Hearing this, Lao Bian raised his hand and gently turned it on the mixer, "Ji Yang, try again."

The stage scene Xiao Ji ran a bass.

Even Xiao Bei could hear the sound effect sent back this time was a little thicker than before.

Li An also nodded and praised: "Brother Bian, can I afford this set of equipment in my next life?"

Suddenly the whole recording studio burst into laughter.

The old Bian's casual movement made Li An feel truly shocked. It was different from the hearing experience of several children. If he hadn't been able to see the live scene, he would have thought that Xiao Ji had changed the piano.

This is the value of top-notch recording equipment. I’ve learned a lot.

After a burst of laughter, the atmosphere in the recording studio became much more relaxed.

Li An gave Ji Yang a few more words, indicating that Lao Bian could start.

"Ready to enter."

Lao Bian asked Ji Yang to put the black headphones to the left side of the piano. Then in the video, Xiao Ji took off the headphones and turned to the left, and no one could see the shadow of the headphones anymore.
-
Returning to the backstage entrance, Ji Yang lowered his head and smoothed the hem of his skirt, then raised his head to look at the camera teacher below the stage.

After about five seconds, the video teacher raised his hand and made an OK gesture to it.Taking a deep breath, Ji Yang raised his head and chest, smiled and took steps towards the piano again.

Her flat shoes could make a clicking sound on the quiet stage floor. Stopping on the side of the piano, she played the piano and turned to look at the camera, bowing gracefully.

Since the height of the piano bench had been adjusted in advance, she sat down to calm down for a moment, then raised her hands and dropped her fingers.

In an instant, the quiet hall was broken by an extremely oppressive sound wave.

Pretty.

Ang Lee stared at the screen. From the moment Xiao Ji appeared on the stage to the sound of the piano, he felt that Xiao Ji's stage was much more mature than last year's art exam.

Every move and every move shows the naturalness of grabbing the benefits.

Listen to this beginning again, steady and calm.

"Yes, Teacher Li, this girl is very stable." This is not the first time that Lao Bian has recorded the Moonlight Sonata for someone.

Faced with Lao Bian's praise, Li An was naturally happy and said modestly: "She is still far away."

The two of them were talking to each other, which distracted the children around them.

Wang Xiaohu thought to himself about this recording. Why did the teacher start chatting with the recording uncle? This is not allowed to be recorded?

Moreover, Senior Sister Ji Yang could hear the speech here just now. Now Senior Sister Ji Yang could not be distracted when she heard the teacher's words.

Wang Xiaohu's thoughts also represent the thoughts of several children.

It’s not the kids’ fault, it’s their first time walking inside a professional recording studio and they don’t understand the capabilities of a recording system.

With just a flick of a switch, you can completely separate the scene from the recording studio.

Fortunately, they found that Senior Sister Ji Yang, who was playing on the screen, was not disturbed.

It still sounds so beautiful.

At the end of the song, Xiao Ji, who finished playing in the video, stood up, played the piano, bowed and left the stage.

Old Bian: "Teacher Li?"

Ang Lee: "Yes."

Returning to the backstage recording studio, Xiao Ji saw children chattering around her as soon as she entered. She put her hand on Xiao Bei's shoulder and asked the teacher excitedly: "Teacher, are I going to record it a second time?"

Li An smiled: "Do you want to record it a second time?"

To be honest, Ji Yang thought that today's recording experience was completely different from what she had imagined, and the whole process was very interesting.

But considering the limited time, she had to leave time for her younger siblings and the ensemble.

So: "Teacher, if you think it's okay this time, I won't record it."

Ang Lee: "Very good. I think it was much better than the day you played during the art exam."

"Ah?" Xiao Ji looked surprised. She just thought she played smoothly, but she didn't expect the teacher to give such an evaluation. For a moment, she really wanted to hear how well she played.

Laobian didn't know how many times he had seen this scene. Without Ji Yang's words, he knew that Ji Yang would definitely want to hear it quickly. He picked up the mouse and clicked twice.

The next second, Xiao Ji heard her beginning.

The layout she wanted to express when she played, and the gorgeous but unobtrusive timbre, appeared authentically in her ears.

This is her rethinking of Yueguang San in the past six months after taking the art exam. It is the performance she wants!

"Are you satisfied?" Lao Bian has been doing recording and tuning for more than ten years. His greatest satisfaction is to see an expression similar to the one on Xiao Ji's face at this moment.

Xiao Ji wiped off the sweat from his forehead, bent down and bowed: "Thank you, Teacher Bian."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, as long as you're satisfied," Old Bian said, looking around, "Who's next?"

With Senior Sister Ji Yang setting an example, everyone's nervousness about recording was gradually replaced by novelty, and everyone couldn't help but be eager to try it.

"I."

Che Lin, Liu Fengrui, and Wang Xiaohu all said in unison.

Li An thought for a while, but his eyes fell on one corner: "Xiao Bei, how are you?"

When it comes to today's personal recording, what he is most worried about is Xiaobei's condition.

Whether recording or competing, staying backstage for too long will have a greater impact on the performance, so Ang Lee wanted to let Xiaobei take advantage of the lively atmosphere to finish recording first.

In this way, Xiaobei doesn't have to wait until later to bear additional psychological pressure.

"I can do it too." Although Xiao Bei said so, his expression was a little hesitant, because the three of Lin Lin had already raised their hands.

At this time, Che Lin gently took Xiaobei's arm and encouraged Xiaobei, "Come on."

Liu Fengrui and Wang Xiaohu also followed: "Come on!"

After a few small fist bumps, Xiaobei nodded vigorously and walked out of the recording studio.

Following Xiaobei, Chen Xuan also followed out. Regarding some admission matters, Xiaobei's children could not compare with Ji Yang after all.

When Li An saw Chen Xuan following him, he felt relieved and turned to look at Ji Yang again, "How does it feel to play it live?"

All musical performances, whether playing, playing or singing, are a kind of acoustic feedback at home, a kind of acoustic feedback in the classroom, and a kind of acoustic feedback on the stage.

On different stages, various impression feedbacks are different.

On-the-spot acoustic feedback will bring different feelings to the performers (singers).

Different players (singers) have different abilities to digest this feedback.

There is a contradiction in this. A person who has been practicing piano in the piano room all day is suddenly asked to play on an empty stage. The sound he hears must be different from what he played in the piano room.

Those with indigestion will be affected by it during performance.

The degree of impact varies from person to person.

Xiao Ji: "It's pretty good, but the sound is a bit dry. I'm not sure when I play it in certain places. Teacher, do you have any problem with it?"

Ang Lee: "No."

From Xiao Ji's answer, it can be seen that Xiao Ji was not affected by the sound effects at the scene.

Lao Bian knew Li An's concerns. In fact, he and Li An had discussed this issue for a long time. In the end, he helped the children get a sound mask, which was to ensure that the children's hearing at the scene could be like at home.

But it's just a simulation after all.

Ji Yang said that his voice was still a bit dry, so Lao Bian asked Li An if he wanted to adjust it.

Li An looked at Xiao Bei who had already walked on stage on the screen and shook his head, "Sooner or later they have to adapt."

Lao Bian nodded, indeed, an excellent performer should be able to adapt to all performance obstacles brought by the environment.

There is no perfect playing environment, but you can develop a playing mentality that can handle all situations.

Come on Xiao Bei.

Li An said silently in his heart.

For a moment, for several children, today's recording seemed to have a different meaning of test.

In the video, under Chen Xuan's prompting, Xiaobei entered the stage first and adjusted the height and position of the piano bench, and then disappeared from the screen.

After a while.

Under the signal of the camera teacher, Xiaobei officially entered the arena.

He played the piano and bowed before taking his seat, which was standard Li family class etiquette.

Take a deep breath and flick your fingers.

The moment the first sound sounded, Xiao Bei felt that the sound of the piano in front of him was a bit low.

It was completely different from what she usually heard and what she heard played by Senior Sister Ji Yang just now.

It was not that he actively wanted to lose focus, but Xiaobei was indeed affected by the sound, and his rhythm became a little unstable.

The sound was unsteady and clearly reached the ears of everyone in the backstage recording studio.
