"Gelsanghua, are you so big? Oh, Luo Bing knows issac.yen at most, but they don't know that there is also the name Issac, right?"
On Friday morning, when Yan Qing returned to the office building during the break to record "Talent Co., Ltd." and shared submissions, when he heard such a proposition request, his first reaction was surprise under the disguise of being calm, and he quietly glanced at Weng Huaijing.
"Look at what I'm doing, of course you don't know~"
During the brief period of looking at each other, Professor Weng's bright eyes were sparkling, and he was playing with the violin he had brought with him. His expression seemed to be calm. Then Yan Qing turned sideways to Luo Bing and confirmed again: "Sister Bing, you said you should use Gesanghua."
Let’s write a melody rap, why did you suddenly think of this?”
"The Gesang flower has always been regarded as a holy flower symbolizing love and luck. In Tibetan..."
Deliberately accentuating the word "love", Luo Bing turned a blind eye to the eye contact between the two creators. When speaking, her eyes were fixed on Qin in Yan Qing's arms. She suddenly smiled meaningfully: "As far as I know, the word Gesang means
The meaning of happy and good times perfectly fits the theme of our ninth episode."
"It's not obvious, but her eyes are obviously cueing our piano. It's probably the same as "Flower Matter". Xiaoge knows that song. After all, the name of the guitar is Gesanghua..."
But at this moment, Weng Huai's concentration was extremely high. Luo Bing explained her connotations and she remained as calm as an outsider. Her thoughts were whirling. Yan Qing glanced at the camera opposite Liu Mingren who was personally in charge of restarting the recording, holding an excellent
Director Yan, who was being manipulated by his attitude, laughed and said, "Well, you have the final say. Do you have any other requirements?"
"No, love and Gesang flowers, it's better to have something exotic..."
There was no fraud, and Luo Bing was not in a hurry. She casually chatted like a spring breeze: "This guitar, which is used as a keepsake, has a high appearance rate. At the beginning, our program team bought three guitars for free."
…”
"Theme song, first sung."
Just when Yan Qing was about to organize a verbal counterattack, Weng Huai, who was sitting next to him, slightly opened his lips, put the violin into the box, and untied him.
"Tsk~"
Many behind-the-scenes staff gathered around the periphery made a wave of deep and suppressed gasps in unison. Most of them did not participate in the Yanqi Lake filming cycle, but they could all tell that compared to previous recordings of the program, Professor Weng was
The situation is obviously much more relaxed.
"I still remember the nostalgia, so let's forget about it and continue talking about Kelsang Flower. I traveled to Shangri-La a few years ago and heard a beautiful legend told by the Tibetans there..."
Being able to get Weng Huaijing to speak on his own initiative has actually achieved Luo Bing's goal. She, who is already very good at telling stories, said vividly: "No matter who it is, as long as he can find an eight-petaled Gesang flower, it means he has found it."
happiness…"
Before Luo Bing could finish his words, Shao Qing, who was also in the center outside the frame, immediately took over: "So holding the Gesanghua in your hand means you have really found happiness."
"By the way, Brother Qing, do you know the flower language of Gesanghua..."
A little outside, Li Hanyuan, who was holding Zhang Yameng and Miao Miao, was holding hands with girls Zhang Yameng and Miao Miao. She already made a blockbuster without even saying a word: "It is very similar to kapok. I take pity on the people in front of me."
"What's even more interesting is..."
With a bright smile, Zhang Yameng showed a trump card: "Shangri-La is located in the Diqing Autonomous Prefecture south of Caiyun. The meaning of this word in Diqing Tibetan is very interesting."
Making a heart shape with her hands in front of her chest, Miao Miao stood on tiptoes and slowly pushed her hands upwards to both sides, as if performing a mime, leaving many onlookers confused.
This scene made Weng Huaijing slightly startled. He glanced at Zhou Peipei, who had an innocent face, and then turned to look at Yan Qing. Her eyebrows were raised, and she gave a slightly suspicious look: "You don't know how.
You colluded with them, I promised to embarrass you, but in the end it seems like you are cooperating?"
"I originally thought it was for sub-questions. I thought you sang it to them, no, no?"
Qiqiao Linglong's heart changed, and Yan Qing, who was looking at each other, immediately figured out that Weng Huaijing must have heard him sing that song. The news was actually leaked from his sweetheart. The performances of Luo Bing and Shao Qing were all the same.
Listening to it, I obviously came straight to the song "Sun and Moon in My Heart".
"Peipei, you little traitor. Doesn't it count if you snorted twice on the way to get out of class? You actually blame me..."
First, she glanced at the assistant in disbelief. Weng Huai, who felt she was in the wrong, responded majestically to Yan Qingji while holding the camera. She also swayed her waist and muttered something, but she didn't notice that her tone sounded more like
It's coquettish: "I can't sing rap, even if it's melodic rap!"
"Hey, hey, the show is still being recorded, why did he start flirting, cough, it will be cut, right..."
Although Professor Weng's speech was full of promise, it became less and less intense as Shao Qing interrupted. It was not a big deal to watch the excitement. After Mr. Shao, who was full of joy, received Liu Mingren's assurance, she clapped her hands and continued to stir up trouble: "
To be fair, it’s very difficult to fuse an imported product like rap with folk songs from snowy areas. I haven’t heard anyone sing it before, so she was singing in an R&B way, right? Pepe?”
"I've only heard Sister Jing'er sing three times...oh, twice. I couldn't quite tell what the singing method was. I thought it was just melody rap..."
All eyes were focused on Zhou Peipei. The Suzhou socialite who experienced the feeling of "inserting a knife" for the first time seemed a little bit stunned. She sang like a repeater with a red face: "In the / legend / paradise on earth, you are in my heart /
/The light of the sun and the moon.”
When the lie was exposed in public, Weng Huai was so embarrassed that he turned his back and even Yan Qing's old face turned rosy.
"Oh, it turns out the song was written a long time ago..."
Seeing the embarrassment of the two people sitting on the sofa, the culprits all burst out laughing. Luo Bing also pretended to wave and said: "Zhao Mu, remember to note this for later. I need to add an explanation here. It's purely coincidental and has nothing to do with us.
.”
"You pay attention to your sentence breaks and pauses. Peipei still has flow. Sure enough, famous teachers make great disciples. Brother Qing..."
Upon hearing the summons, Zhao Mu stood up and stepped forward. Mao dared to finish Professor Weng's sentence and quickly turned her fire towards Yan Qing: "I'm more curious about another question. Is it convenient to ask?"
"you say…"
Not afraid of being bitten if there are too many lice, Yan Qing raised her hand to signal Zhao Muyili, who was about to move, to start their performance, while Professor Weng silently lowered his face, which was already full of beauty.
"When did you write this song? There are at least four to five groups of people who love you in the lyrics. It's not like the style of the songs we have released in previous programs. How can I put it..."
Zhao Mu thought carefully when choosing the adjective, and Yili Sui stood up and added: "It seems very restrained and too reserved. In fact, compared to the Riddler, everyone is looking forward to a more straightforward love, just like the above
Those words on Saturday night.”
"Good guy, keep pressing forward step by step. I've counted out all the groups of "love you" in the lyrics. Weng Xiaoge, did you really only sing it twice?"
After receiving warnings from "It's a Thing" and "La Vie on Rose", Yan Qing was psychologically prepared for this situation. He took a gentle look at the thin back of the ostrich, took a deep breath, and stabilized his position with a warm smile.
: "It's been a long time since I wrote this. My mentality back then was different from now, but..."
"No matter what your mentality is, it is very honorable to admit that you like someone. This piano was made by her and I when we were in New York. The Gesang flower is also named after one word from each of our nicknames. There were many people last week.
My colleagues all heard it too…”
With his fingertips rubbing the smooth and delicate huanghuali wood speaker board, Yan Qing knew that the girls were not interested in drinking. Facing the recording camera, he held his breath and admitted: "I can do it even in front of the camera.
I am calm and composed, I still like and will always like Weng Huaijing, she is the sun and moon in my heart and the heaven on earth."
After Yan Qing's affectionate confession, there was a burst of endless applause from the second floor of the office building, and even a lot of whistles.
"Yan Yisa, who are you with?"
In the midst of the uproar, he realized that he could no longer pretend to be an ostrich. The embarrassed Weng Huaijing turned his head to the right with his eyes red and said, "Executions are carried out in public every day. I can't even record this show!"
"I'm a victim too."
Blinking quickly, Yan Qing responded to the grievance of being innocently shot.
"Hmm...but I'm still thinking about giving someone a chance..."
With a vague voice, she acknowledged what Yan Qing said. Weng Huaijing stared at the recording camera with a pair of affectionate and beautiful eyes. She put on a professor's air and said in a cold voice: "But if you are like this, I will deduct points from him!"
"Did you hear that? So please don't cause trouble again..."
Putting on a flattering smile, Yan Qing clasped her hands and confessed to the program crew: "In the future, I will definitely produce more songs that our parents will love to hear. Regarding life-long events, you should let me do it myself."
"Yeah, Kelsang Flower, we want to listen to Kelsang Flower now!"
The group of smokers who had gone out to let off steam also rushed back and mingled with the crowd to make noises. Luo Bing, who was ready to accept the situation, pretended to be a peacemaker: "It's "The Sun and the Moon in the Heart". This request is not too much."
"I haven't made beats yet, so I can only use guitar and violin to accompany my demos. I can't rap, so I can only sing r&b..."
After seizing the initiative with her strong talk, Weng Huaijing wanted to put an end to the matter quickly. She raised her neck high, held the violin on her shoulders, tilted her head slightly and said calmly into the air: "Let's get started~"
"here we go~"
…
"Dang Dang Dang~ Dang Dang Dang Dang~ Dang Dang~"
…
A fresh and elegant melody pops up by picking the strings according to the frets. Yan Qing takes a few deep breaths and responds quickly. He beats the speaker board with his hands to simulate a jazz drum set. He opens his mouth and uses b-box to repeatedly loop the melody without forgetting to use every opportunity to rap:
…
"You are the light of the sun and moon in my heart~
Dangdangdang~dangdangdangdang~dangdang』
…
"Air Predator, you are so disgusting~"
Lifting her bow, she glanced at Yan Qing, who was forcing the drama. Weng Huaijing accurately sang backhand and sang gracefully. As expected, she used a twists and turns of R&B singing:
…
"I'm holding the Gesang flower in my hand."
So beautiful that I forgot to take it off
Your truth/with fragrance/your fragrance/can speak
Your words/seem to be spoken only/to me』
…
The song itself has a very high melody repetition rate. Yan Qing casually inserted some chords commonly used in blues music to add color to the improvisational accompaniment. The arrangement style also fits Weng Huaijing's singing style very well, making her voice more ethereal and ethereal.
:
…
"My specialty is wandering
You are destined to bloom for me
My heart/Looking for home/My home/No flowers
My flowers/are waiting for me in this valley.』
…
After entering the chorus, the rap part that was supposed to speed up the pace was replaced by Weng Huaijing's beautiful transition between true and false sounds to create a unique sense of rhythm. Yan Qing also took the opportunity to sing along for her:
…
"If at the beginning/there was no God/secretly instigated (Yan Qing accompanying singer: instigated)
How do we know we choose to meet?
You are the sun and moon in my heart
Fall here (Fall here)
The journey before and after is redundant
Just to meet you (meet you)
How I want to transform into the mud under your feet (the mud under your feet)
The deserted valley at this moment
It’s like I heard someone say I love you』
…
After entering the interlude, Weng Huaijing drew the bow and urged the strings to start the solo part of the violin. As soon as the melody returned to the original accompaniment style, Yan Qing knew as soon as she heard that she meant to sing the second half.
…
"You are the light of the sun and moon in my heart
My wandering does not understand mud
Your beauty cannot withstand turmoil
You are innocent/I am confused/You love home/I am wandering
In the valley/all this/cannot be taken away』
…
For the two verses of the main song, Yan Qing chose to use a completely different approach from Weng Huaijing. He used the flowing rhythm of the flow to bring up the repetitive melody to advance the singing repeatedly. He maintained a high speaking speed and his words were still clear, and the pauses in the sentences were full of richness.
rap style:
…
"You love to look up and embrace the sunshine
I have to look at where to go next
I walk away/you stay/I remember/you sublime
At least/we will look up at/the same sky』
…
When the repetitive chorus part came, Weng Huaijing chose to put away his bow, turned around and faced Yan Qing, and looked at him lovingly.
…
"Being in the legendary paradise on earth
You are the light of the sun and moon in my heart
Lead me to find your fragrance
Can’t let go~』
…
After Yan Qing finished singing the bridge section performed by Zhou Peipei, they looked at each other in shock. Weng Huaijing added falsetto harmony to lift the melody: "How I want to transform into the mud under your feet~"
Yan Qing's voice turned into subwoofer mode and became deeper: "In the uninhabited valley that day/I seem to hear someone saying I love you~"
The accompaniment suddenly stopped, and the two sang in harmony: "The other day I heard someone say I love you~"
"Thanks…"
Grinning, Yan Qing couldn't help but glance at Weng Huaijing: "After work is over, I can go to your studio to practice "Butterfly Lovers" together."
"Look at your performance~"
Looking back with long and tender eyes, Professor Weng coyly sat upright, pretending to be cool and keeping his words: "What he and I just sang, there are still differences between the two versions."
…
"Yes, yes, there is such a difference."
"We all heard it!"
"There is no mud under my feet. It is determined that it is all sugar."
"You're so sweet, as long as you live!"
"You can't delete it. Even if you beat me to death, I won't delete it!"
"It can't be aired now, but we can do the season finale."
…
While the atmosphere was still filled with cheers, Luo Bing, who knew the general situation, had already started to move. Of course, they knew that the previous content program could not be played for the time being. They "persuaded" Liu Mingren with Shao Qing without much effort, and then intensively greeted everyone again.
Add a paragraph.
"melodic rap, also known as melody rap..."
Yan Qing, who was sitting upright, was doing some popular science in a serious manner: "As the name suggests, rappers will add a lot of melodies in the form of singing during the rapping process, integrating more closely with mainstream music, and deepening the listening experience by repeatedly cycling the ear-catching hooks and beats.
Therefore, it is easier to be accepted by the public, and the hook parts of many melodic raps have the twists and turns of r&b."
During the re-recording, the two of them naturally maintained the same sitting position when singing, each leaning towards the other side of the sofa, maintaining appropriate eye contact. Yan Qing freely moved the topic to Weng Huaijing: "Then how do we distinguish the melody?"
What about the genres of rap and r&b? The question Pepe just mentioned is actually very interesting, what are you looking forward to?"
"Well, R&B will definitely use the soul transposition singing method, but melodic rap does not necessarily use the R&B singing method. It can also be rock and blues or country folk singing..."
In perfect harmony with Yan Qing, with the corner of her mouth raised slightly, Weng Huaijing showed quite professional musical literacy in her conversation. Her tone was no longer cold when speaking. She told the camera the difference between the two singing styles: "Of course, because we have the same roots and the same roots,
Depending on the source, there will be more songs that incorporate rhythm and blues, but generally speaking, since it is melodic rap, it should always be based on rap.”
"Let me explain that the nostalgia theory has the same origin. Blues originated from the minor tunes sung by black slaves during labor. The biggest difference from white popular music is the commonly used notes and rhythm divisions. In addition to such note rules, plus the later development of
Hip-hop music is derived from the strong rhythmic bass and drum beats..."
After taking the words from Weng Huaijing and smiling at each other, Yan Qing told the camera seriously: "Based on this music, we added flow arrangement, rhyme refinement, wordplay and puchline, and finally it became the rap we hear now."
"The factors Yan Qing just mentioned are the key to whether a song can be called rap music..."
Weng Huaijing, who had never taken the initiative to discuss rap with Yan Qing, was very clear when talking about hip-hop music: "Only after we can clearly distinguish rap from other genres of music can we discuss the difference between melodic rap and boom-bap.
"
"In fact, there is currently no very clear boundary standard in the industry. Many well-known foreign traditional rappers also have very melodic-style works, so..."
Singing and harmonizing, the unprepared Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing had a very similar conversation in a completely unscripted state: "How to distinguish melodic rap? There is no clear-cut black and white boundary. We can only clearly distinguish rap from other music types, and
Melodic rap can only rely on the listener to make a judgment based on his or her own experience and knowledge of music theory.”
"Rap music is a very inclusive genre. In recent years, more and more singers have chosen to feature rappers, and many excellent works have been produced..."
The two of them were getting into a good conversation, but off-screen Luo Bing kept urging, so Yan Qing had to end it forcefully: "Finally, let's talk about this song. The skeleton of its melody is sampled from a Tibetan ditty with simple rhythms. I plan to use it to make some harmonies."
The vocal arrangement is combined with national instruments to repeatedly progress the melody. The main instruments are flute, erhu, dulcimer and the characteristic six-string instrument of the snow area: Zhamu Nian, supplemented by cymbals, mouth strings, single-skin drums, clappers and other national instruments..."
Under the prompting board outside the venue, Weng Huaijing blushed slightly and said: "Next, Yan Qing and I will sing "Sun and Moon in the Heart" using R&B and melodic rap respectively. After comparing with the demo, everyone can clearly feel the difference.
, Okay, that’s it for this issue’s sample sharing.”
