Chapter 444 An epoch-making feat, the emergence of Canon chords

"On the road of art, you must be able to withstand temptation and loneliness. If you think about star dreams and fame all day long, you will definitely not be able to make up your mind to study. When you realize that your professional skills and basic skills are not solid enough,

When one's own knowledge reserves are insufficient, it is already too late. Four years have passed by so quickly.

Everyone here may think that I am not qualified to say this, because I became a big star at a young age, but how many people like me are there in the whole country of China? I am just an example, not a typical one.

It doesn't fit me.

If you focus on other young stars, you should find that although they became famous early, they are always proving one thing, either they are proving that they are singers, or they are proving that they are actors, composers, or directors.

And this process may take more than ten or eight years.

There are many stars who become popular overnight, but those are just popular stars. Only when his acting skills, singing skills, and professional skills can be recognized by the industry and the audience can he become an artist. And of all these, what is needed most

It is a solid foundation. Yanyin is the best place for everyone to lay a solid foundation.

Of course, I’m not here to stop you from chasing your dream of becoming a star. I just suggest that you lay down solid basic skills first and don’t aim too high. After all, not everyone can become an artist. Many people’s dream may just be to be famous and become a big star.

, make money, and naturally want to seize the opportunity.

How you choose is your own business. Tianhai does not encourage this kind of behavior, so it is only open to graduating students, but it does not object to this kind of behavior. If an opportunity arises, everyone will make their own decision without being influenced by me.

The third sentence is, don’t take yourself seriously at any time. You should take what you are doing seriously. Taking yourself too seriously can easily make you unable to see yourself clearly and lose your direction. Only by doing things down-to-earth can you move towards the goal.

The goal is moving forward step by step. Forget it, I won’t elaborate on this sentence. In short, I wish everyone success in their studies." Wang Xuan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire auditorium burst into warm applause, and everyone was applauding Wang Xuan.

Regardless of Wang Xuan's teaching level, Wang Xuan's words are very good. Students should take learning as their main task, and enriching their basic skills is the most important thing.

Let’s put it this way, it is impossible for all Yanyin students to become artists, but it is also impossible for everyone to become a star. You know, there are more than a thousand freshmen at Yanyin every year. If everyone can become a star, then

Isn’t it obvious that the entire country of China is overrun?

After these students graduate, most of them can only engage in major-related jobs, that is, convert their majors into careers. At this time, solid basic skills are particularly important.

So it is right not to encourage star chasing dreams.

"Next question, this classmate." Wang Xuan called Cheng Xiao who was next to Yao Nan.

Cheng Xiao stood up and said, "Professor Wang Xuan, why did you come to Yanyin to teach?"

"It's very simple. Yanyin University is the school I have always longed for. It is also one of the highest art schools in China. When I was in school, I wanted to apply for Yanyin University. Unfortunately, I was a poor student and couldn't pass the exam. Now I come to teach here.

It can be regarded as a disguised fulfillment of my dream. If I can’t come here to further my studies, it’s good to come here to teach. Thanks to Dean Li for thinking highly of me, Wang Xuan, my dream has come true,” said Wang Xuan.

Many people below secretly nodded, especially Yanyin's tutors and professors. They all felt that Wang Xuan was very measured and what he said was impeccable. But at this moment, Wang Xuan suddenly changed his voice, "Of course, these are lies.

.”

In an instant, the entire scene was stunned.

"The truth is, I was tricked by Dean Li. I promised her to come and give you a few classes last year, but she let you go for a whole semester. This year, the semester is coming to an end again. If I don't come to teach, Li

The dean is going to kill me in my house." Wang Xuan said with a smile.

"puff!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Ouch, I can't do it anymore!"

"Wang Xuan is so funny, he really dares to speak!"

The students were stunned for a moment and burst into laughter!

Li Rulan rolled her eyes after hearing this. She said to herself that you still have the nerve to say that you let her go for almost a whole year. If Wang Xuan was not Bai Hu's true identity and became a super star after being revealed, she would not have known it.

How much pressure do you bear?

Before Wang Xuan was revealed, because she supported Wang Xuan to become a full professor of Yanyin Music Department, many people were waiting to see her jokes. Privately, they said that she was using power for personal gain and that she was having an affair with Wang Xuan.

There are all kinds of gossip.

After Wang Xuan's face was revealed, these gossips stopped. No one complained about Wang Xuan not coming to class. Instead, they all praised her, saying that she was wise, had a sharp eye, and had everything.

It's just a bunch of hindsight anyway.

Liu Shurong and others were also happy. This Professor Wang Xuan is really interesting. His ability to activate the atmosphere is really top-notch. He can shorten the distance with the students at all times.

Unless his teaching ability is really impressive, the effect will not be much different.

"I told you, don't you have any professional questions to ask me? If you keep asking these peripheral personal questions, this class will be over. I don't care anyway, it's easy. It's you who will lose." Wang Xuan

smiled.

"Me, me, me!" After saying this, a student in the front row raised his hand high.

Wang Xuan called him to get up.

"Professor Wang, I would like to ask you how you created your songs? I am also a composition major, but I find that writing is very difficult. I often get stuck at the beginning and have no way of starting."

"Are you asking about composition or arrangement? If it's composition, I can't help you, because it mainly depends on personal inspiration. If it's arrangement, I can talk about it." Wang Xuan asked.

"It's just an arrangement. Sorry, I didn't make it clear." The student said embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter. As we all know, a piece of music mainly consists of a main melody and accompaniment. The composition we often talk about actually refers to the main melody, and the arrangement refers to the accompaniment.

The accompaniment is composed of chords and melody. Similarly, the melody also depends on personal inspiration. I can't help you. I can only tell you about chords. Today's popular songs are actually mainly performed in two chord ways.

It is 4536251 chords, one is the Canon chord.

If songs using the 4536251 chord account for 20% of popular songs, then canon chords account for 30%. And of the remaining 50%, 40% are combinations between these two chords.

In other words, you only need to learn the 4536251 chord and the Canon chord, and you can easily master 90% of popular songs, and naturally you will know how to arrange them," Wang Xuan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, many people were stunned.

The student was stunned.

Many musicians at the scene were also stunned.

The first person to raise the question was actually the musician at the scene, the famous Huang Zhan.

"Wait a minute, Professor Wang, I know the 4536251 chord you are talking about. Generally speaking, for convenience of expression, we will use 1234567 to replace do, re, mi, fa, and ti. This is also the case in simplified musical notation.

Of course, the scales do, re, mi, fa, and ti are usually replaced by CDEFGAB, so 1234567 here refers to CDEFGAB. The 4536251 chord at the beginning of the arrangement is F chord, G chord, E chord, A

Chords, D chords, G chords, C chords. For some reason, we tend to play F, G, Em, Am, F, G, C.

Of course, some people can play F, G, Em, Am, Dm, G, C, which varies from song to song. This is the chord played in the key of C. It is not difficult to understand that most songs nowadays are arranged according to this chord.

"But what the hell is this canon chord?" Gu Jiahui asked.

"It's the 15634145 chord." Wang Xuan said. After finishing speaking, he was stunned. He suddenly remembered that there is no "Canon" in this world. Without the piano music "Canon", naturally there is no so-called Canon chord.

Sure enough, after listening to Wang Xuan's words, the musicians at the scene became even more confused.

"What kind of chord is 15634145? Professor Wang, isn't this a chord method created by yourself? Can you explain it to us?" someone said.

"Okay, let me tell you about the 15634145 chord. Same as the 4536251 chord that Teacher Zhan just introduced, 15634145 here represents CGAEFCFG. In terms of arrangement, it represents the C chord, G chord, Am chord, Em chord, F

Chords, C chord, F chord, G chord.

Combine the eight chords C, G, Am, Em, F, C, F, G into a chord combination, which is the Canon chord. The variation is C, G, Am, Em, F, G

,C.

Let me show you this chord." Wang Xuan asked someone to move a piano to the rostrum. Then he directed the camera at him and projected the scene of himself playing the piano on the big screen behind the rostrum.

"Everyone, look carefully at my left hand." Wang Xuan said and began to play canon chords.

For ordinary students, this chord may not sound special. But musicians in the industry are immediately excited.

"D major?"

"I'll go! Awesome, this chord sounds much better than the 4536251 chord!"

"That's awesome Wang Xuan, it's another epoch-making feat!"

"It is indeed epoch-making. Wang Xuan actually created a new chord combination. Now he has been directly enshrined as a god in the composing world. From now on, every musician will be in love with Wang Xuan."

"A great master!"

"You should have noticed how my left hand presses the keys, right? This is the Canon chord, doesn't it sound good?" After playing the Canon chord, Wang Xuan asked with a smile.

"Not only does it sound good, Professor Wang, you are simply epoch-making." Huang Zhan exclaimed.

"Too serious." Wang Xuan felt a little embarrassed.

"It's not serious at all. Professor Wang, what you said before is wrong. In fact, most or even the vast majority of popular music today uses the 4536251 chord method, not only 20% as you said. Now, you

Another chord method was introduced, and it sounded better than the 4536251 chord. This was simply a pioneering move.

In the past, most of our Chinese pop music used the 4536251 chord, which seemed very monotonous. Now there is the 15634145 chord. In the future, our Chinese pop music can use the 4536251 chord, the 15634145 chord, or a combination of both.

The combination must be much richer, and all musicians must support you." Gu Jiahui said.

"Teacher Gu, haven't you joined Tianhai a long time ago? Don't you know this chord method?" someone asked.

"I don't know. I have listened to a lot of Professor Wang's music before, and I found that his chords are a bit strange. They seem to be much better than our chords. Unfortunately, I have tried many times, but I can't figure it out. I originally wanted to communicate with him, but

I'm afraid of being rude. In the words of martial arts novels, this is Professor Wang's unique secret book. How can I ask?" Gu Jiahui said.
