186 Iron Fist Transformation
Realizing that he was caught talking badly in person, Cliff turned to Ronan and showed a flattering smile, as if trying to prove his innocence: It was all Maxim said just now, not me, Mr. Holmes, you know the truth, right?
Lu Yiqi also smiled at Cliff. The smiley expression could see her white and neat teeth, which reminded Cliff of Professor Hannibal in "Silence of the Lambs".
But immediately, Ronan returned to work.
"Cliff, and Maxim, emotions, you two should pay attention to the release of emotions. What exactly does the opening of 'Chasing Light' feel like? Being in the dilemma and confusion of the darkest moments, and being able to feel the magnificence of the collapse of the world, so emotions must be expressed through melody."
Musical instruments can feel the player's emotions and inject them into notes.
The beginning of "Chasing Light" must show the thickness and magnitude of the whole world, and the entire momentum must be settled; while the keyboard and string music must be light and show the ethereal magnificence, just like spreading their wings and soaring in the air, making the listener involuntarily urge to look up at the sky.
These are two textures, which put different requirements on the performer. Otherwise, the "architecture sense" that Ronan expects is not enough to just show the level through arrangement.
"Your emotions need to be released, and you can truly feel the wantonness of opening up and flying freely. The plain and simple performance has no vitality. It is simply destroying this song. We are not about to stop, but we still refuse to give up hope in the darkness and are still fighting."
Ronan named the request in a more detailed way, and it was obvious that Maxim and Cliff's performance was unsatisfactory.
Cliff's first reaction was, "Where is Oli?"
When practicing, Oli makes the most mistakes, but Oli is not named today?
"Oli performed very well." Ronan's voice came from the microphone to the recording room, and he could see Oli holding his hands high and cheering. This made Ronan's eyes smile. Without adding comments, he just threw out a sentence, "Start from scratch."
The atmosphere in the recording room changed subtly, especially Maxim's competitive spirit was also stimulated, and it seemed that he had finally entered the recording state.
However, today, Ronan seems... not so easy to satisfy - this description is already very slight, to be precise, to be picky, to be more precise, to be harsh.
"Cliff, the gradual progression of strength and emotions, the first four beats, thump! thump! thump! thump! The first note must release the emotions, and then the fingers quickly leave the keys, and you can feel the lightness of the air flowing in, and then the melody flows out like water. Then when entering the second four beat, the first note is thicker than the first note of the previous four beat, but when it is pulled away, the force of the fingertips needs to be lighter."
"Dong! Emotion injects! Feel pause! Feel the withdrawal! Duong! Feel it with your heart!"
"No, the first four-beat is over."
"No, do it again."
"wrong."
"It's still wrong."
"Cliff, let's do it again."
The first two eight beats have been repeated eight times, but there is still no progress - now Cliff is the only one playing, Maxim and Ollie are watching quietly, and Ronan is not recording, but is letting Cliff practice continuously.
Ronan's tone was always gentle and calm. Not only was he not angry, but he was also patient, but the sharp light in his eyes was not shaken at all. It was like a machine, and Cliff repeated practice over and over again, and the invisible pressure slowly accumulated and then poured down.
Cliff also became irritated, "Extraction? What is excretion? This is a complete four-beat, in which there is no rest at all. How should excretion? How should the rhythm be controlled? Are you sure you know what you are doing? Are you sure you know what you want?"
Even if he has a good temper, he will become irritable after repeated twists and turns in place. What's more, Cliff's temper is not a little sheep; and Ronan has indeed established a certain professional authority within the band, but such professionalism is not something that cannot be challenged or overturned-
Don’t forget that just three months ago, Cliff and Maxim were still the ones who held the voice of the band, and now the team leader is still Cliff.
So Cliff was furious and glared at Ronan with a blushing face, venting all his dissatisfaction with vent.
"How should emotions be released? Let me tell you! If you describe it so detailed and clear, why don't you show me it?"
Cliff was indeed a little angry, especially with Maxim and Oli eating melons next to him, and then he was pushed out to roast on the fire alone. He had reason to suspect that Ronan deliberately retaliated because he chose "innate" today!
Instead of slapping the table and scolding Cliff, Ronan kept calm and quietly let Cliff spit out all his thoughts. The careful listening look made Cliff slowly become furious, as if... it was as if all his anger was accepted.
The spine is a little cold.
"Okay." Waiting for Cliff to vent all his emotions, Ronan did not say much, and simply agreed.
Cliff, “…”
In fact, Cliff didn't really want Ronan to come and demonstrate, because he himself knew how ridiculous this was.
The producer has his own ideas about the perfect music constructed in his mind, but the producer may not be able to present it perfectly. Therefore, the producer needs to guide the performers to achieve the goal. The catharsis of "you do it and you come" is a simple and crude negation - maybe Ronan can't do it, but it does not mean that Ronan doesn't know what he is doing. The producer has the professionalism of the producer and the singer/band has their professionalism. This is the meaning of division of labor and cooperation.
Cliff was just an vent in impulse, and it seemed unreasonable because he couldn't do it; but Ronan really agreed. Now Cliff was a little difficult to do, and his words stuck in his throat, with a little embarrassed expression.
After thinking about it, Cliff really couldn't find the right way. In fact, Maxim and Oli were still a little short of time, but their problems were not as prominent as Cliff. After all, the introduction of "Chasing Light" still requires keyboards and orchestrals to play the leading role. Now Ronan is asked to demonstrate, and Ronan has agreed, maybe this is a good thing-
If Ronan can't do it, then Cliff will feel more at ease; if Ronan can do it, then Cliff will be able to find a learning template.
