Entertaining Children

  Chapter 266 Write a song for him?

  With the continuous arrival of musicians, the three of them also ended their discussion and switched to the studio to play the three pieces of Xiao Yao's to listen to the effects.

  Since Shen Yinan and Xiao Yao were in battle, Xiao Siqi, as the sound engineer, stayed on the console to record the musicians’ performances.

This group of people are relatively mature musicians, and this performance is just to record a demo to listen to the effect, prepare for the subsequent perfection of the soundtrack arrangement, not to be the official version of the sound source, no need to pursue perfect defect. So these three songs were recorded in one day.

   "This kind of tune does sound very good." Shen Yinan, who has heard the demos of the three tunes, first nodded and said, "But if we want to achieve very good results, I think the configuration we have agreed in advance may not be enough."

   "You mean that there are more than ten people too few." Xiao Siqi asked.

"Yes," Shen Yinan said, "Just talk about the three songs of Bayi. In addition to "Dream of Water Village", if the other two songs are to have a good effect on the stage, I think the best ones are Erhu and There are four pipas, two zithers, two yangqin, and the best long and short flutes add up to four, plus the instruments of Xiao and Xun. In this calculation, this orchestra has to be a team of close to twenty people. "

"This lineup is almost catching up with the Symphony Orchestra, and with the modern western instrument players, I'm afraid that the stage will be overcrowded during this live performance?" Xiao Siqi frowned, "According to Bayi's meaning, this When the orchestra performs on stage, not all of them stand still on the stage, such as the flute, Xiao, Xun and other wind instruments held in their hands, as well as the erhu, a stringed instrument that can be fixed on the body with a lumbar support. They all need a certain amount of space to move around on the stage to arouse the atmosphere of the audience.

"Grandpa Shen said that this configuration is for thorough consideration. In fact, not every song requires 20 people...No, most songs don't use so many people." Xiao Yao said, "Football. Some of these players are called jackpot players because they can play multiple positions, and some players can make temporary guest appearances, and some other positions are called one-on-one. We can do the same. When selecting people, give priority to some who are good at the same time. A musician with a variety of instruments.

  The same type of instruments have certain commonalities, such as flute, piccolo and Xiao, should they have these three at the same time? There should even be those who can play both folk music and western instruments, such as those who can play both the erhu and the violin, those who can play both the flute and the saxophone, those who can both play the guzheng and the piano, and those who can play both the pipa and the piano. For the guitar, we will adjust the personnel according to different tunes at that time, just like a football coach arranges troops according to needs. This should reduce the number of personnel needed. "

"It's a way," Shen Yinan thought for a while, nodded, "Although not everyone who plays musical instruments like you can play more than a dozen musical instruments, it is very common to have two or three kinds of instruments. Then you think the number of orchestras is fixed. How much is more appropriate? Is there any experience we can learn from?"

"I'm not good at this. But I think we can not limit the number of death bands. The so-called iron-fighting battalion, a team of more than a dozen people, it is difficult to maintain the stability of the personnel for a particularly long time. We do not want to Can you choose? You can prepare a certain number of substitutes at the same time as you select the members. Whether the members need to leave the band for some special reasons or withdraw from the orchestra for personal reasons, we can also find substitutes in a short time. "Xiao Yao said, "These are basically all the ideas I can think of."

"Well, it's hard for you to think of so much," Xiao Siqi nodded in satisfaction, "We will discuss how to do this with other people in the department." Xiao Yao worked hard during this period of time, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying also saw in her eyes, saying that she wanted to put some pressure on Xiao Yao to participate in some work, but she really saw that from the beginning of school to the present, almost all the weekends and vacations of Xiao Yao were spent on work, and the two felt that A little distressed. "It's been almost two months. It seems that you only took a weekend off, right? You have been working hard for a while. Let's take a good rest. We will do the rest.

   "I was just giving comments and ideas, and I didn't plan to participate in it myself." Xiao Yao smiled, "But it's rare that you are willing to give me a holiday. I'm still very happy."

   "Then I'll leave first." Xiao Yao greeted him and pushed open the door of the recording studio and left.

   "Xiao Yao!" When Xiao Yao walked to the entrance of the studio and was about to push the door to leave, a shout came from behind him.

   "Cheng Xi? Why are you here?" Xiao Yao looked back and found that it turned out to be Cheng Xi, somewhat curious.

   "What do you mean? Can't I come to the studio? I am a contracted artist here." Cheng Xi smiled slightly, tilting her head.

   "No, when I filmed the MV some time ago, didn't I say that you zoomed in? Why did the running studio come on the weekend? My mother arranged work for you again?" Xiao Yao said.

"No," Cheng Xi shook her head, "I came to see you specially. I called you and no one answered, so I asked Jiaying sister, she said you were recording in the studio, and I happened to be nearby, so I came here. Just now I saw you in the recording studio with Teacher Shen and Boss Xiao, so I didn’t go in and disturb you. I have been waiting here."

  Xiao Yao took out his cell phone and found that there was Cheng Xi’s missed call. He raised his head and said to Cheng Xi, “I was recording just now, so the phone was turned on silent. You came here on purpose. Is there something urgent for me?”

   "There is nothing urgent. I came to see you to invite you to dinner. Are you free tonight?" Cheng Xi said.

   "Eating?" Xiao Yao smiled, "I am free when I have time, but suddenly I want to invite me to dinner. Is there any reason?

"It's nothing special," Cheng Xi said with a smile, "This time I made the MV. It was originally a free voluntary help, but I unexpectedly got a reward later. With a windfall, I have to go away. It came out a little bit. It’s been a long time since I got together with the people from the dance troupe. I just wanted to gather everyone together, have a meal, and then find a place to have fun. Come, my pen The windfall is still thanks to you. Secondly, you are also a member of our Dawn Dance Troupe. It has been a long time since I saw you with everyone, so I want to ask you to participate."

   "Okay, I haven't seen everyone for a long time. It's good to get together at night." Xiao Yao nodded and agreed.

   "Okay, now the time is almost the same, then let's go. The place has been booked, and everyone will gather directly at the eating place." Cheng Xi said, calling Xiao Yao to walk outside the workroom together.

"In your current situation, at most you are still famous in the dance troupe. You shouldn't participate in their dance troupes anymore, right?" Xiao Yao chatted with Cheng Xi as he walked, "Look at you like this. I still have a close relationship with the people of the dance troupe."

"Of course," Cheng Xi said with a smile, "Although I have changed careers now, I am only a named member in the dance troupe, but it is not the same as a named member like you. This dance troupe was originally me and Chen Chen. When I pull up, my relationship with everyone is not so easy to fade. I always practice dance with them when I’m fine. It’s been like you, I’ve been back from the United States for several months, and I haven’t been in the dance company. I showed up."

   "Isn't this what happened to me?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "Participating in shows, recording albums, and making MVs are all connected one after another. Besides, I am still in school."

   "I just said that casually," Cheng Xi glanced at Xiao Yao and said, "I know that you are a genius and have a lot of things. That's why I came here to pick you up personally today. Please!"

  As they spoke, the two had already reached a red imported high-end car.

   "Your car?" Xiao Yao opened the door of the co-pilot and sat in, "It seems that your development over the past year is really good."

   "I'm also lucky," Cheng Xi also got into the car, and started the car while saying, "Who would have thought that I was a dancer, I could really be chosen by Jiaying sister to be an actor."

   "That is also the result of your own talent and hard work." Xiao Yao said, "I heard that you worked very hard when learning acting with my grandpa."

Xiao Yao said with some worry: "But for your current situation, the people in the dance troupe really don’t mind, don’t they have any ideas? After all, you are different from me. When I joined the dance troupe, everyone knew I’m a second-generation star, and I soon learned that I’m an actor. But you were a team and a studio you joined together, but now you have a big gap with them."

"There must be ideas," Cheng Xi smiled. "Sister Jiaying also took this into consideration. She specifically told the dance troupe that my situation is not a special case. If other people in the dance troupe also Can demonstrate the ability that the studio recognizes in other aspects, and the studio will use the resources of the studio as it does to me. So many in the dance company envy me, but envy and hatred shouldn’t be talked about. ."

Cheng Xi sighed: "Sister Jiaying is really nothing to say. But in the final analysis, I still have to thank you. If I didn't know you, I don't think I would have today. Maybe I still work as a teacher in the gym. While looking for work with the brothers and sisters of the dance troupe."

   "You said that if I publicize the history that we two met back then, will there be all girls eating ice cream on the bus?" Cheng Xi suddenly laughed loudly.

"According to what you said, in fact, you should be most grateful to the muscular man in the gym back then?" Xiao Yao smiled, "I remember it was Xue Gang, right? If it wasn't for him to stop me, I must find fault with me. In a fight, I think I would leave after paying you an ice cream at the time. Maybe we two would never know each other."

  "Yes, yes, you beat him badly back then. I took a rest for a few days before coming to work." Cheng Xi said, "I didn't expect it at the time. Seeing you at a young age, it was so powerful."

"By the way, you and Chen Chen used to be the captains of the dance troupe. Now you are solo, isn't it that Chen Chen alone has the final say in the dance troupe? Can he manage it alone? Especially for those of you who dance modern The dancing girl over there."

"Actually, Chen Chen doesn't need to spend too much time on it now. After so many years of being together, we have been in a tacit understanding. As for the choreography, we no longer choreograph. Before each performance, we have a special choreographer. To teach you the dance performed by the choreographer, everyone just listens to the choreography teacher, so Chen Chen doesn't have much to do." Cheng Xi said, "Moreover, Chen Chen is actively preparing for the transition after being stimulated by me. Originally a dancer's profession. The life span is not long. Dance troupes like ours who specialize in accompaniment are even more youthful and can't dance for a few years."

   "Chen Chen also wants to change careers as an actor?" Xiao Yao said in surprise.

   "No, he is not talented in acting, and he is not interested in acting." Cheng Xi smiled, "The studio is divided into two parts: the performing arts department and the music department. I changed my career as an actor, and he wanted to change my career as a singer."

   "Chen Chen wants to switch careers to become a singer?" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Don't blame me for speaking straight, as far as his singing level is concerned, I'm afraid my dad won't like it.

"He sings very ordinary, but what he wants to be is not a singer, but a rapper." Cheng Xi said, "You also know that Chen Chen is the kind of street culture. Street dancing, graffiti, music, He is good at hip-hop and rap. Don’t forget, you learned graffiti and RAP from him at the beginning. In fact, I called you out this time to see if you could help him in this area."

  "How can I help him?" Xiao Yao said, "Write a song for him?"
