Chapter 254 Rock Fish will return to the arena
Wang Yuexin felt that Yu Yu was a really scary person.
He was only slightly interested in the new song at first, but he knew that it would be best if he practiced it a few times with the accompaniment before singing it, so he didn't plan to sing the new song at first. He wanted to sing "On the Shores of Lake Baikal".
As a result, Yu Yu's beautiful face flashed before his eyes, and the "devil whispered" was heard in his ear. He slapped his head in confusion and decided to go for it.
By the time he reacted and calmed down, he found himself sitting in an empty room with the manuscript, practicing urgently.
The song doesn’t even have a title yet!
Chen Qisheng and Wang Zhengliang were still on the stage. After receiving the song sent by Yu Yu, they began to study it on the spot. The more they looked at it, the more they felt that the song Yu Yu had performed this time was really terrible.
No wonder Wang Yuexin was like a thief, and no matter how they asked, she was unwilling to tell others what the new song was like, just saying it was great, very great. If any of them happened to come up with this song during Yu Yu's creation period like Wang Yuexin, they would probably be like a thief, afraid that someone would intercept it.
Previously, Yu Yu used guitar to play a small part of the sound of the cello in the hotel. That melody was actually very powerful. When they heard it at first, they thought it was the main melody of the chorus. Who would have thought that it was just a small part of the main melody of the whole song that was insignificant but could add the finishing touch.
It is insignificant because there are too many shining points like this in the song, and even the main melody they form is more dazzling, but the finishing touch is that it is the cello that perfectly matches this melody.
The whole song can be described as grand and desolate.
"Actually, it's not easy to compose this song. It's really not easy." Wang Zhengliang thought about it again and again and was speechless.
From the singer's perspective, it would definitely be great to be able to sing such a work, but he and Chen Kesheng are both professional music producers. If they look at it from the perspective of an arranger, they all know that composing is one thing, and adding instruments to the arrangement is another. Different instruments have a great influence on the style of the entire work, and may even affect the singer's singing style.
This is most likely a sincere work written by Yu Yu as a query for his brother and fan Wang Yuexin, because it is indeed very suitable for Wang Yuexin's voice, and it can even be said to be tailor-made for Wang Yuexin's voice.
"I feel that this latter part, the last 1/3, needs to be arranged in a symphonic style, or even in an operatic style." Chen Xisheng said that although this was the first time he saw the song, he really understood how to bring out the true energy of the song.
Yu Yu nodded. "That's right. When it's officially released, it will definitely be fully equipped. But conditions are limited now. We can only choose a few instruments. We have to ask the program team for help to find a solution for the rest. Of course, we can't bring in the entire symphony orchestra. It's no problem to choose a few of them and I'll record them and make them into the soundtrack later."
When it came to serious work in their professional fields, Yu Yu, Chen Qisheng and Wang Zhengliang all stopped playing around.
Chen Qisheng prepared his own song, while Yu Yu played the keyboard and Wang Zhengliang played the accordion. Then he went upstairs to see how Wang Yuexin was practicing, and helped him adjust his singing style.
Wang Yuexin was originally a very talented child in music. He understood Yu Yu's ideas very quickly. In addition, the lyrics of this song were written by him and Yu Yu together. After only practicing for a few hours in the afternoon, he basically learned this difficult song.
There was an episode in the afternoon. Guo Yifan, a friend that Lu Hu had mentioned in the night chat at the seaside in the first season, became their flying guest in this season. He came to the youth hostel in the afternoon, said hello to the brothers, and will go on stage together to attend the concert tomorrow.
Zhao Hao had mentioned this before. They might hold a small concert in a youth hostel. At that time, Lu Hu said that if there really was such an opportunity, they might be able to invite a guest star. Unexpectedly, it actually came true in the end, and the guest invited was Guo Yifan.
Guo Yifan is a typical i person, who doesn't talk much but plays the guitar very well. He is a singer-songwriter and independent musician, and a niche singer who is not yet familiar to the public.
The stage for this indoor concert is not big, but at least it is a stage for a variety show that will be broadcast on national and even overseas channels. We brothers also hope that talented musicians like him can be seen by more people.
Yu Yu used the simple piano rhythm made on her phone to help Wang Yuexin find the tune faster. After learning the whole song sentence by sentence, she wanted to go downstairs to borrow a keyboard or accordion and play with him using real instruments, but when they came downstairs, the two older brothers were borrowing these two instruments. They could only rehearse with them a few times before they were able to borrow the accordion.
At lunchtime, the brothers from the Nut Band came back and invited them out for hotpot. After dinner, a bunch of musicians who had just met or had known each other for 10 or 20 years sat together, chatting and playing music, and only went upstairs to wash up when they were tired.
Yu Yu took the musical instrument borrowed by Zhao Hao and went to the underground workshop of Brother Nie, the owner of the Youth Hostel, to record. Brother Nie's workshop was where he usually did his own handmade carpentry work. Once the door was closed, it would basically not disturb the rest of the brothers on the second floor.
Wang Yuexin certainly wouldn't let Yu Yu record downstairs alone. After helping Yu Yu move a bunch of instruments downstairs, he didn't plan to go upstairs. Yu Yu knew that even if he asked him to go back, he wouldn't leave, so he didn't plan to chase him away. It just so happened that Wang Yuexin was there to lend a hand.
The next day, after Yu Yu recorded some drum beats and metal cymbal sounds on a drum set, the soundtrack was finally completed, with only editing left.
When Yu Yu handed the edited soundtrack to Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao asked Yu Yu with some curiosity and concern whether she had practiced her song.
"Of course, in my free time, I will practice my songs." Yu Yu said, if it was Query standing here, he would definitely greet him confidently and ask if I need anything, but now he is Yu Yu, it is better to be polite.
That means he didn't practice at all. But if Yu Yu sang an old song, he really didn't need to practice too much. Thinking of this, Zhao Hao started to ask him what song he was going to sing. They had to hand over the song list to the program team.
When Zhao Hao asked this question, he thought he would either say the recently popular "Bird of Paradise" or old songs like "Wilderness" and "Dusk Highway", but he didn't expect that he actually said "OVER DONE".
Yu Yu has released three new songs before. There is no need to say much about "Bird of Paradise", which is famous for its unique singing style. The other two songs, one is a folk song, which is widely recognized in the folk song circle, and the other is a rock song, which can be heard in many bars or short video remixes. It is a new favorite of many rock music fans.
“OVER DONE” is that rock song.
Yu Yu is actually going to sing rock? Is this the first time he's sung rock solo on stage since his resurgence? Although he and his brothers have covered other rock songs on "Come and See Our Concert", his lyrics were only a few lines back then. Now he's singing a whole song?
Even in the past, rock fish were rare.
"Do you need the Nut Band to help you with live music?" Zhao Hao asked again.
"It's okay, no need, I'll just take the electric guitar. They have a lot of projects on hand. Allen has a new song that needs their help, and Tiger's song also needs their help. The time for preparation is already short, and if there is more time, they probably won't be able to handle it."
Yu Yu shook her head. This was why Wang Yuexin had never thought of asking the Nut Band for help. On the one hand, the new song was more suitable for unplugged instruments. On the other hand, Wang Yuexin was worried that they would be too busy and would add burden to others.
"Okay, let's play the background music, and you can just play the electric guitar. So, do you have a name for the new song you helped Yue Xin create?"
"Yes, Winter Echoes."
This was the name he and Wang Yuexin came up with when they were composing the music in the small studio last night. Later he thought that this name was actually quite suitable for the song, even though the four words in the song title were not at all in the lyrics.
When Su Xing got everyone's playlist and was about to write the lyrics, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he saw that Yu Yu actually chose to sing rock music.
"Wow, you actually brought rock up, you're in pretty good shape, Yu Shao, are you going to blow up the whole place? Then this stage is a little small."
Su Xing joked that the song "OVER DONE" is not light rock, it is a typical alternative rock, it is here to rock the place. Compared with the small and romantic venues like indoor concerts, this song is more suitable for music festivals or concerts, the more people there are, the more exciting it will be.
"I can actually see Rock Fish on stage again in my lifetime, but it's a pity that someone is not here this time." Venomous Tongue Bird came online again and made a hellish joke that the guys understood.
Why did she understand? When the top 11 were being shortlisted for the top 9, Yu Yu used rock music to kick out the Happy Champion, who also sang rock music, from the top 9.
A happy champion who wishes to remain anonymous: Although I will arrive in the next period, you can’t bully me like this when I’m not around!
"Then Yu Yu has to be put at the back. Good things can't come out so early. Allen, put my song 'Friend Like You' first, and perform it after the Nut Band. Yu Yu should be put at the back." Lu Hu immediately asked Su Xing to put his song at the beginning.
According to the normal song order, the explosive and quiet songs are alternated so that the audience will not feel aesthetic fatigue. Yu Yu's song and Lu Hu's song both belong to the category of explosive songs, but Lu Hu thinks that Yu Yu's song is more explosive, so he has to put his song in front.
“The song 'Yuexin' is also a good one, the arrangement and the lyrics have to be put on hold.” Wang Zhengliang added that the new song "Winter Echoes" is a "big production" and good things certainly cannot be released too early.
"How about this," Chen Qisheng thought, "I'll go first, my song is quiet, then let the fish come, and then the joyful heart."
“? No, no, no, it would be too scary if I came after you!” Wang Yuexin waved her hands repeatedly.
"Okay, really, how about this, move the song "Half Mountain, Half Sea" by Xisheng and Liangge to the end. After Yuexin finishes singing, the two of you will finish singing together. Isn't that perfect?" Su Xing changed the order at last. "Anyway, starting from Xisheng, you won't leave the stage, right?"
"No, we will still go off the stage. When I sing, I will bring my electric guitar and play audio as the background music. Then Yue Xin will come up, Brother Liang and I will accompany on the stage, and Brother Sheng will come up for the last song." Yu Yu corrected.
Chen Hesheng thought about it. In fact, when he heard that Yu Yu was going to sing rock music, his rock heart was moved: "You play electric guitar, right? In fact, I can accompany you with electric bass for that song."
"Okay, we haven't played rock music together for a long time." Yu Yu nodded. How could he refuse when his elder brother took the initiative to offer to play accompaniment?
In this way, the order of performance was determined, and a few hours later, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the chamber music concert officially began.
