Entertaining Children

Xiao Yao walked out of the rehearsal room of the Chenxi Dance Troupe, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Duoer. Are you free tonight? My brother would like to ask you for a favor." Xiao Yao said to the phone, "I want to make a piece of music, and there is a piece of violin in it, can you help me with the music?"

"Soundtrack? What soundtrack?" Sun Tingting was quite happy when she received Xiao Yao's call, but she didn't expect Xiao Yao to ask her for help. Think of me when you ask someone for help? No help!"

"Don't, brother admit your mistake, okay?" Xiao Yao hurriedly comforted, "I found a dance team and choreographed a dance for them, but there is no background music to match it. I plan to change the background music of the dance tonight. Come out. In my plan, there is a piece of violin in the background music. You are the best violin player among the people I know, and I think of you first, so please help me.”

Hearing Xiao Yao praise her for playing the violin well, Sun Tingting felt a little more comfortable, and her tone relaxed a little: "What dance team? Why are you doing choreography and soundtrack for the dance team again? Your interest Put it on the dance again?"

"It can be regarded as a coincidence," Xiao Yao replied, "Aren't my parents opening a studio and recruiting a dance team? I just kept a little bit careful, and I happened to meet a very good dance team today, so I went to watch them dance. , Played with them for a while. Then I came up with an idea and made a dance for them. It should be quite fun. But this dance has no background music, and I plan to make it myself tonight.

In my vision, there needs to be a violin in this musical accompaniment. Neither my dad nor I can play the violin, and there is no violin at home, so I was the first to think of you. How about you help me get the background music out tonight, and tomorrow I'll show you how they dance? "

"This...Okay." Regarding Xiao Yao's matter, Sun Tingting really couldn't bear to refuse it. Besides, all of their friends knew that the funny things Xiao Yao said must be Quite fun.

"What song is this?" Xiao Siqi frowned while holding the score that Xiao Yao rushed to work. In addition to the drum and keyboard, the main instrument in the score is actually the violin, and the drum controls the rhythm in the score, and the keyboard is the auxiliary instrument. The main melody in the score is the violin.

It is not that there are no music works that did not combine classical instruments such as the violin with popular instruments before, but this piece by Xiao Yao is obviously a very hip-hop style. The violin is added to this style that is the most different from the classical style. , which has never been seen in Xiao Siqi's music career.

"This is the background music I made for a dancer. The dance itself is a mixture of ballet, modern dance and street dance, so of course the background music must also be this combination of classical and hip-hop." Xiao Yao explained.

"This...a combination of classical and hip-hop, ballet and hip-hop, can this go together? Isn't the style too different?" Xiao Siqi wondered.

"Give it a try, anyway, there are quite a few pieces of meat, I think it should be quite special." Xiao Yao said.

"Why did you suddenly think of getting this kind of thing?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Remember that I recommended a dance troupe to you at noon today?" Seeing Xiao Siqi nodding, Xiao Yao continued: "I was with them this afternoon, and I did a ballet on a whim, a combination of modern dance and street dance. dance, but I haven’t found a matching background music, so I’ll make one now.” Xiao Yao said with a smile, “If it’s done, the studio should be able to receive a dance video with this music as the primary selection. "

"You care so much about this dance troupe, why don't you join them?" Xiao Siqi asked strangely.

"Not yet, but after the music and dance are produced, it may not be so.

Maybe they will recruit me to join. "Xiao Yao laughed, "But I'm planning to find the two captains inside to steal my teacher. It's impossible to formally join. At most, I can play with them when I have nothing to do. "

"The last question," Xiao Siqi said, "drums and keyboards are easy to get. We both know how to do it, but neither of us knows how to play the violin. We don't even have a violin at home. How can we do it?"

"I have already invited Duo'er to help, she will be here in a while." Xiao Yao said, "Before Duo'er arrives, why don't we record the drum and keyboard tracks first."

When Sun Tingting came to Xiao's house with the violin, Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao and his son had already finished almost half of the drum and keyboard soundtracks, and just had some time for Sun Tingting to familiarize herself with the melody of the violin part, and practice a little bit by the way. When the drum and keyboard tracks are completely finished, Sun Tingting can almost start recording.

Sun Tingting has been learning to play the violin since she was eight years old, and she has been learning for seven or eight years. There is nothing to say about her skills, so the recording is naturally relatively smooth.

"Duo'er's violin is really nothing to say." After the recording, Xiao Siqi couldn't help but praise Sun Tingting, "I heard that you first learned the piano for three or four years, and then changed to the violin when you were eight years old. I just learned the violin, and now I am afraid it will be even more difficult."

"Uncle Xiao, don't praise me," Sun Tingting said a little discouraged, "I originally wanted to keep learning the piano, but when I was eight years old, my brother Bayi came to my house to play the piano a few times, and he played the piano better than me at that time." It’s too strong, which makes me feel that I can’t play the piano better than him, so I learned the violin, which he doesn’t know.”

In fact, this was only one reason why Sun Tingting changed her major in musical instruments back then, and the other reason was because she overheard a conversation between Xiao Yao and Sun Zhihao back then.

At that time, Xiao Yao was living in Sun Zhihao's house while Xiao Yao was rehearsing the play with Sun Zhihao. Once when he had nothing to do, Sun Zhihao showed Xiao Yao a script and asked him what he thought. It was a story similar to the previous "101 Marriage Proposals" where the girl counterattacked and pursued the goddess, except that the heroine in that script was a beautiful pianist, not a cellist.

The Douban movie in the previous life had a score of less than 6 points, but the box office exceeded 200 million. Xiao Yao didn't know how to evaluate it. In the end, Xiao Yao could only talk about the heroine's career. The more famous pianists that Xiao Yao remembered in his previous life, whether it was Lang Lang and Li Yundi who played classical music, or Jay Chou and Wang Leehom in pop music, were all men.

As a female performer, Xiao Yao only remembered Chen Mei who played the violin. In addition, Zhiling’s sister played the cello in the movie. It is difficult for the piano to reflect the elegant and feminine feeling unique to women visually. It is not as good-looking as playing a classical stringed instrument such as a violin.

He does not mean that. Sun Tingting overheard Xiao Yao's words, and it happened that she was most convinced by Xiao Yao at that time. Xiao Yao said that girls playing the violin look better than playing the piano, and she also felt that she was not as good at playing the piano as Xiao Yao, so she wanted to learn another instrument that Xiao Yao didn't know, so after Xiao Yao left the Sun's house after performing the drama, Ask your parents to learn a new instrument. When she was young, the cello was too big, so she learned the violin.

Sun Zhihao asked Sun Tingting to learn musical instruments, that is, from the perspective of improving her own quality and temperament, and cultivating her artistic quality, it does not mean that she can cultivate a world-class performer. Sun Tingting wants to learn a new instrument, so Sun Zhihao followed her. She agreed, and invited a teacher to let her learn to play the violin.

"It's still my business?" Xiao Yao heard for the first time that Sun Tingting gave up the piano and learned the violin because of him, and he was also taken aback when he heard this.

"Anyway, there is always one thing that I am better than you, Brother Bayi. Even if you start to learn the violin now, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up with me." Sun Tingting wrinkled her nose proudly and said: "Let's listen to the synthetic sound Now I want to know how my violin is combined with your original instrument.”

"Okay, let's hear how our work works." Xiao Siqi followed Sun Tingting. Then, he turned on the playback function on the playback device.

The music started to play. The first thing that sounded was a typical hip-hop rhythm drum sound that had been processed by electronic sound, and then a violin sound rushed out, which immediately made people feel hair standing on end.

The whole piece is based on the drums, and the violin and the keyboard express the melody of the piece in turn or together. The drums and keyboards are processed electronically, and the violin is the original sound. Together, these make the whole piece not only feel electronic The wildness of hip-hop, but also the majestic atmosphere of classical string music. These two very different styles collided together, not only did not make people feel awkward, but on the contrary, it gave people a strange feeling of blood boiling and goosebumps at the same time.

"Awesome!" Sun Tingting couldn't help praising, "It's the first time I've heard this kind of music. I really don't know how you, Brother Bayi, can think that music can be played like this."

"Well," Xiao Siqi also nodded and said, "It's really very flavorful, and it feels very special. Now I'm looking forward to seeing what the dance that matches this song looks like."

"If all goes well, you should be able to see it in two days." Xiao Yao smiled, and turned to Sun Tingting, "Duo'er, I'll take you to watch the dance tomorrow, let's take the DV and record the dance. At that time, please be a guest photographer and help us record it."

"Okay, no problem." Sun Tingting agreed with a smile. As the daughter of a producer, director, screenwriter and actor, she has been to film and television crews in recent years. She knows how to operate a professional camera, let alone shoot something with DV.

"Okay, then let's talk about it." Xiao Yao said happily, "It's getting late now, I'll take you back first, and I'll pick you up at your home after lunch tomorrow."

"Uncle Xiao, Brother Bayi, can you make a copy of this song for me? I want to listen to it a few more times after I go back." Sun Tingting didn't leave right away, but asked Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao.

"Of course there is no problem." Xiao Siqi smiled, took out a USB flash drive from the drawer and inserted it into the device, and after some operations, pulled it out and handed it to Sun Tingting.
