The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 606: Understand
It's hard to imagine how this is done just by thinking with the brain.
Four guitar chords can play a variety of popular songs; what’s more commendable is that after the adaptation, under the different combinations of chords and the different speeds of rhythms, the interpretations are different. style of. I vaguely feel very similar and somewhat different, but I can't tell one reason. This feeling is really too subtle, and the language is indescribable.
However, Lan Li did it.
There was a flash of inspiration in Timsey's mind: why people are getting more and more bored with modern pop music, the popularity of singles is coming and going, and the speed of updating is so fast? The fast-paced life and daily irritability in the fast-food era force people to look for more new things, which is one of the important reasons.
Another reason is that nowadays, the arrangement of popular songs is getting simpler and simpler, there are fewer and fewer memorable things, and there are fewer and fewer melodies in my mind. Naturally, the speed of elimination and replacement is faster and faster.
Just as Lanly demonstrated just now. Any popular song can be performed with four chords, and then through the change of rhythm, it becomes a brand new song.
A simple example can illustrate this point. From 2015 to 2017, the number of music plagiarism cases in the United States has risen sharply, with top popular trends such as Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, and Sam-smith. The singers were all suspected of being involved, and they eventually reached a settlement with the plaintiff, who included the plaintiff as the original creator, and shared royalties together.
In other words, it actually acknowledges the so-called "learning" to some extent.
This is not to say that they are deliberately plagiarizing, but that the overall trend of popular music is like this. Chords and arrangements are getting simpler and simpler, and similarities and convergences are inevitable. Inadvertently, the melody that was previously "familiar" has become a source of inspiration for my creation, and I haven't even had time to discover it. The boundaries of "learning", "tribute" and "plagiarism" are becoming increasingly blurred. This trend has started since the end of the 1980s. The decline and weakness of the entire music market was not caused in a day.
However, using only four chords to interpret popular songs is not as simple as it is said. It tests the singer's foundation of adaptation and creation, as well as the singer's understanding of music and chords. Looking at Lan Li's easy and easy posture, Timsey was amazed.
Suddenly, Timsey showed a big smile. The existence of the album "Don Quixote" is contrary to the overall situation of the music market.
Although Lan Li just said that it was extremely relaxed, as if "your bones" is just a permutation and combination of four chords, but after listening carefully to the entire album, I know that in the creative process of Lan Li, not only the use of chords is very cumbersome but also extensive. And the arrangement always follows the essence of the melody.
Even songs with relatively simple chords like "Old Pines" and "Los Angeles" are no exception. The choice and application of chords are beyond the scope of the four chords just now. Should it be simple or complicated, without cutting corners and eager for quick success, this reminds people of the 1950s, when folk songs reached their peak and rock and roll began to sprout.
What's more, every lyrics in the album is carefully crafted to complement the melody and fit with the musical notes. This is what is truly commendable, and it is also the core idea of the golden age of music.
Interesting, it is really interesting. Timsey's interest in the "singer/actor" in front of him is becoming more and more intense.
"Most popular songs can be done. However, steve-wonder can't. His music requires sixteen chords or more." Lan Li shrugged and said with a chuckle. "So, creation is not as simple as imagined. This is a matter of course, but it is not as difficult as imagined."
Having said that, the scene was already in a state of crash. Everyone looked at Lan Li dumbfounded and couldn't believe their ears.
Most people don't think as far-reaching as Timsey, but they have a strange feeling: Lan Li said so lightly, can he try it? I faintly felt that something was wrong, but couldn't tell it for a while.
"I saw your performance before, you used to play the guitar, but in the album, the arrangement of the songs is very complicated and magnificent, and you can even hear the use of many classical instruments. May I ask, is the guitar your best instrument? ? Or something else?"
This problem is relatively professional. It is not purely seeking idols, but is really rooted in the music itself, which also contains a lot of professional knowledge, which is not visible in ordinary fan meetings. It can be seen that all the people present today are indeed music lovers.
"Well, in fact, I am studying piano." Lan Li felt that there was no need to lie, and admitted frankly, there was an exclamation in the audience.
From the pioneer village performance "Cleopatra", to the street performance "Ophelia", and then to the live creation of the "Allen Show", Lan Li has always been a guitar in the world, even the performance just now in this way. He always seems to be able to evolve the melody into a guitar version, and deduce a unique style and temperament, giving the melody the chic and casual style of a bard wandering around the world.
But now, Lan Li said, his main focus is not the guitar? It's the piano?
"Show it! Show it!" someone shouted in the audience, the voices were extremely lively, one after another.
Before Lan Li refused, Neil took the keyboard and walked onto the stage. It looked like he had been premeditated for a long time. Looking at Lan Li’s helpless smile, the whistle and roar of the scene fluctuated. Neil It was an innocent look, as if he didn't know anything.
Lan Li was dumb and joked, "Isn't it an album audition session today? Why do I think something is wrong now?" It caused everyone to laugh, but the look of anticipation did not flinch.
Neil put the keyboard in place, and someone in the audience asked again, "You used the piano to compose the song'Confirmed', right?" Then someone asked again, "Excuse me,'Love is crazy'. Is the ending song of this movie "Confirmed"?"
"Yes, and, yes." Lan Li replied succinctly, "In fact, this song was composed in London. At that time, the performance of the crew was in trouble, so I felt it and wrote the "Confirmed Belief." Suspicious, but unexpectedly became the link of the performance. So the director asked for the past."
Looking at Neil Yinyin's expectant eyes, Lan Li did not refuse any more, and sat down in front of the piano, "No matter who the question was just now, thank you for bringing up this topic." After speaking, Lan Li laughed himself.
Most of the people at the scene were at a loss with this thoughtless sentence, even Neil, Stanley and others were no exception. Later, a group of loyal fans of William leaked the answer. Next week, "Love Is Crazy" will land at the Toronto Film Festival and will be screened in North America afterwards. Now, the pre-publicity has started one after another.
Lan Li was just thanking the other party for promoting the movie. But is such a vague propaganda method really effective? It's really dumbfounding.
It’s best to understand if you click until you finish, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Lan Li did not continue to explain, and changed the topic accordingly, "So, are you ready? Let's enter the next round of performances now, let's start with "Confirmation"!" For the interview, Lan Li is not repulsive, and has no special thoughts. Now that I have talked about this, I will naturally continue to perform. Tonight, everything is about music, which is good.
Unexpectedly, the first keynote of Lan Li was pressed, and the audience under the stage protested. They all expressed their hope that Lan Li could show his hand. Timsey’s voice was even more abrupt, "Good track!" Li's musical background, he is becoming more and more curious now, just like Nora Jones.
Now the entertainment industry in the United States as a whole is like this. There are fewer and fewer professional backgrounds and more and more grassroots artists. This is not a bad thing. Everyone who has a dream is encouraged to bravely realize their dreams. Moreover, some artists who are not from a major are more imaginative and talented. Coban is just one way. However, the overall situation of art has become uneven because of this kind of national entertainment. The decline in average standards and the high entertainment to death are also indisputable facts.
Timsey’s cry was quickly supported, and William, Hope and others next to him all shouted loudly, "Good track! Good track!" The deafening sound experienced the catharsis of the previous forty minutes, and couldn't help it. Contaminated with a trace of hoarseness, it adds a touch of tragic and vigorous.
Tragic. This adjective is used at this moment, really happy. The corners of Lan Li's mouth rose up. There was no refusal and no promise. To be precise, Lan Li did not answer, but responded with action.
The fingertips are floating above the keyboard. Strictly speaking, ~lightnovelpub.net~ piano and keyboard are still different, even the touch of the fingertips is different. But this awakened Lan Li's childhood memories.
The aristocratic childhood was full of fetters, depression, and even coldness. He almost couldn't wait to get rid of that cage; but it is undeniable that the influence and perennial influence of literature, painting, sculpture, drama and other arts, It laid the foundation for him to realize his dream. Acting is so, so is music.
The piano represents elegance, tranquility, and heritage. People can glimpse the long history of Europe through piano music. See the big in the small. Such precipitation is embodied in Lan Li's performance, singing, creation, and even daily behaviors, creating the unique Lan Li-Hall now.
When the fingertips fell, the clear and vigorous keyboard sounded, once, twice, and then a rest talisman, followed by a rush of clear spring water, venting down like a rush of clear spring water, flowing clouds and flowing water, in one breath, rushing wildly, the passionate emotions Hidden in every musical note, it seems as if countless golden light spots are rising at the same time, walking around, and the wind is blowing, but with the richness and coldness of the forest, tranquil, but high-spirited, elegant, and romantic.
