Chapter 27: Shivering cold

Views:

Next week.

The box office data of the movie "Dragon Dance" continues to rise, showing an encouraging momentum.

As the impression song of the movie, "Big Fish" continues to gain popularity and is liked by more and more people.

As a related college, Qinyi was naturally the first to pay attention to this song.

There are many discussions about this song in campus forums and in various departmental groups.

The vocal music students on campus were particularly excited this time: "See? The importance of excellent singing to the song is self-evident!"

Qinyi is an art school.

The ecological environment here is more professional, so the importance of composing music has always been higher than singing. When "Born Like Summer Flowers" became popular, more than half of the students in the school were shouting -

"Dad Qu will take you flying!"

"Dad Qu, Kerry!"

“Even a dog tied to a recording studio can become popular!”

Doesn’t our senior Sun Yaohuo have any respect

Anyway, the vocal music students were so angry when they saw these posts that they were shaking all over. They were sweating all over in the hot summer and their hands and feet were cold.

Those bastards in the composition department are so damn superior.

When will their vocal department be able to stand up

Unexpectedly, the opportunity to counterattack came so soon!

It is also a work by Xianyu, but this time "Big Fish" is not a song that everyone can sing. Jiang Kui's voice undoubtedly adds value to this song. Therefore, the vocal students of Qinyi are excited!

The composition department is used to being superior.

How could we allow the vocal music department to be so arrogant

Soon a bunch of posts came out to refute the vocal department.

"Do you know what official customization is?"

"Do you know how great the hook of this song is?"

"Do you know how difficult it is to find a melody that fits the plot of the movie?"

"You know, for Qu Dad, impression songs are customized songs, and the style is directly restricted. It's like dancing with shackles on. But Qu Dad wrote such a song within the small framework. It's simply a perfect performance!"

"… "

Some students from the composition department almost risked their dignity and used all their university knowledge to deeply analyze how awesome the composition of the song "Big Fish" is from a technical perspective:

"The verse of the song 'Big Fish' is mainly stepped, interspersed with leaps. The first sentence uses continuous stepped, which creates a strong driving force. The span of the continuous stepped reaches an octave. The verse is a typical pentatonic scale, which is simple but not simplistic. Great!"

The vocal music department gradually declined.

However, the discussion in the Composition Department became more heated.

"What impressed me most was the rich melody development techniques used in this song, including strict repetition, variation, extension, refrain, and even imitation."

"Yes."

"In the climax of this piece, there are many large jumps, such as mi-sol-do-si-mi, mi-re-do-la-do, re-mi-la. In addition, most of the large jumps in this piece have reverse preparations."

"The music scores for the performances are all ready-made, but how many brain cells will be burned out by these things?"

"The 4th, 10th and 16th phrases of this song are the same melody, and the chorus also uses strict repetition, so it sounds so beautiful. When it comes to the harmony, this song is so amazing that it needs no explanation."

"… "

The vocal music department was completely defeated.

Fortunately, the composition department is only to maintain the nobility of Qu's father.

After some analysis.

They did not deny the extra points for the singing part: "Of course Jiang Kui sang very well. To use a game analogy, if Senior Sun Yaohuo won by doing nothing last time, then this time Jiang Kui was the one who started the team fight. She started a good team fight, but the victory in the team fight still depended on the explosive output of Qu Dad."

"If you ask me, the success of this song also depends on the lyrics!"

Qinyi has not only vocal music and composition majors, but also related majors in lyric writing, which is also a feature of Qinzhou, the hometown of music.

Now the composition department and the vocal music department are fighting fiercely.

How could a student majoring in songwriting remain indifferent

A student majoring in lyric writing posted: "I am afraid that you will fly far away, I am afraid that you will leave me, and I am also afraid that you will stay here forever. Don't you think this sentence is cruel? In just one sentence, it not only describes the subtle mood between Bailong and the little girl, but also fits the artistic conception of the animated film. It also writes the expectations of countless parents for their children. Think about how many parents want their children to spread their wings and fly high, but are reluctant to let their children leave them?"

“Poetic text!”

A student majoring in lyrics added: "The lyrics and images required for impression songs are fully displayed in this song. It is rich and full of moving details, transitioning from grand scenes to delicate emotions, and is full of the traditional cultural beauty of our Blue Star."

Music majors are so lively.

Even the arrangement department couldn't help but chime in: "The lyrics and singing are both excellent, but you must not overlook the importance of the arrangement to this song. The instrumental music and drum beats of this song match well without stealing the ethereal part of the vocals. Even the singer's breathy voice is matched with instruments. It's simply natural."

There is a saying in the music arrangement department:

The arranger is like a makeup artist, responsible for making the song look beautiful. A good arranger can be like a top makeup artist, making a plain-looking person look stunning.

but…

Whether on Earth or on the Blue Planet, the status of music arranger is lower than that of composing and singing. Someone once asked music arranger master Zhong Xingming when music arranger can stand up. Zhong Xingming's answer was: "It depends on our own efforts."

The sadness behind these words is self-evident.

But after a round of discussion, a non-music student who was just watching the fun couldn't help but say, "But you guys have been discussing for so long, and apart from the singing part, the lyrics, composition and arrangement of this song were all written by Xianyu alone."

Music Department: “…”

All the arguments vanished in an instant, and everyone focused on Xianyu: "This new comer really has something. It's ok for him to write the lyrics and music, but he has released two songs in total, and he even arranged the music."

“Is this the rhythm of the ace?”

"In a few years, Xianyu will be the ace!"

"Does this even require you to predict?"

A student from the composition department sighed: "After the last exam for "Born Like Summer Flowers", I had already begun to resist Xianyu, but when his new song came out, I started to play it eagerly."

"Upstairs plus one."

"I'm different from you. Last time you were praising Xianyu, I was worried that he was just a flash in the pan. After all, everyone has their moments of bursting with inspiration, but this new song 'Big Fish' proves that his level is really amazing."

“Who made Qinzhou the hometown of music?”

“The Qinzhou music scene is full of talent!”

As a result, this sense of superiority spread from the composition department to the entire Qinzhou level. No matter which major they were in, they all felt that they were good enough.
