The new album has been released, the mv has been completed, and Xiao Yao, who does not need to participate in variety shows to promote the album, has a much lighter burden on him. At present, only the adaptation of the script and the planned establishment of the women's folk band "Women" are left. These two tasks have been written music.

Adapting the script is not in a hurry, and Xiao Yao's workload is not too heavy. Ye Jiaying invited a young female screenwriter with great potential in the circle to be in charge of the adaptation of the script. Xiao Yao only needs to contact this female screenwriter named Feng Jing regularly, tell her some classic plots and plots in his mind as ideas, and then wait to see her play. So in most of the remaining free time, Xiao Yao started to prepare songs for the "Women's Band".

The "Women's Band" was originally inspired by Xiao Yao's "Twelve Women's Band" in his previous life. Even the name, Xiao Yao just removed the number twelve. Because Xiao Yao remembered that there were more than twelve members in this band, but he didn't know why it was called "Women's Twelve Band", so when he named it in this life, Xiao Yao removed the number.

Within a week, Xiao Yao moved three songs from the "Twelve Women's Band" from his previous life, namely "Jasmine Flower", "Kangding Love Song" and "Water Town in Dream".

The first two songs were folk songs from Jiangsu Province and Sichuan Province respectively in previous lives. They became famous all over the country after they were adapted and performed by modern musicians in the 1940s and 1950s. In today's world, these two folk songs are still famous all over the country, but the musicians who adapted them are different. Therefore, Xiao Yao's modern adaptation of these two folk songs can be regarded as a certain degree of opportunism.

Another song "Dream of Water Town" is a song sung by Jiang Shan in her previous life. As a successful actress, Jiang Shan has released several music albums, but the songs that can be remembered, Xiao Yao thinks that apart from the theme song "Confused Love" of the TV series "Passionate" that made her popular In addition, the only thing that people can remember is the song "Water Town in Dream", which was popular all over the country. At the same time, this is also the first modern pop song that Xiao Yao heard in his previous life, which has a soundtrack of many national musical instruments, so he was very impressed by it.

After the three songs were produced, Xiao Yao didn't just throw them to Xiao Siqi and let it go. For such a large-scale performance, he still had to listen to the actual effect with Xiao Siqi and Shen Yinan to see if there was any need to modify the soundtrack. The place. So after discussing with Shen Yinan and Xiao Siqi, Xiao Yao decided to find a time to record a demo to hear the effect.

Due to the fact that there have been too many talent shows in various TV stations in recent years, although the content of a program for auditioning folk musicians is novel, the format is old-fashioned, and it is not very attractive to the audience. It is easy to be regarded as a follow-up work. Shonan Satellite TV The marketing department's evaluation of the prospect of this program is not very good, so in the end Xiao Siqi can only choose the second method Xiao Yao mentioned at the beginning, using a form similar to the company's recruitment to select the needed folk musicians.

Now the establishment of the women's folk band is still in preparation, and the studio is still in the stage of placing recruitment advertisements in various places, so Xiao Yao can only ask Zhou Jin and the others to help him if he wants to hear the actual effect of the song. The girl who recorded "The Drunken Concubine" came to help.

Because of the good cooperation with the studio before, these folk music girls are also in the studio's consideration of candidates to form a women's folk band, and I mentioned the studio's plan to them very early on. Several girls were also very interested and expressed their desire to participate. As one of the candidates for the future orchestra, I heard that Xiao Yao wrote a piece for the performance of the future orchestra. When they were asked to come and play the audition effect, the girls naturally agreed without hesitation.

The instruments played by the four girls are guzheng, pipa, Xiao and flute, and the girl who plays the flute, Peng Weiwei, can also play the flute.

But none of the four girls can play the erhu. So for the erhu part, only Xiao Yao played it himself, and as for the yangqin, Shen Yinan, a veteran who happened to be able to play the yangqin, played the game.

Modern Western musical instruments are not a problem, and there are quite a few musicians who have cooperative relationships in the studio, and they can be on call.

The National Day holiday has passed, and because Xiao Yao has to go to school, the recording can only be done on weekends.

After getting the three songs by Xiao Yao, Shen Yinan was immediately opened up by Xiao Yao.

"You are adding a soundtrack of modern Western instruments to traditional folk songs," Shen Yinan said to Xiao Yao with a smile while holding the score, because Xiao Yao arrived ahead of time, and the musicians had not yet arrived. The three of them Let's discuss Xiao Yao's songs first. "There are quite a few folk songs of various nationalities in our country with a long history and national popularity, and there must be many of them that can be adapted according to your thinking."

"Why does it have to be domestic, and foreign ones are fine." Xiao Yao added with a smile, "There are also quite a few foreign folk songs that are very well-known in China, and they can also be changed according to this model."

"Yes," Xiao Siqi also nodded and said, "This orchestra is very characteristic of our Chinese nation. If it is really done well, there will definitely be a market abroad, and there will definitely be opportunities to perform abroad, so prepare a few foreign songs. The well-known songs are also very necessary."

"Actually, it's not just a folk song," Xiao Siqi said while holding the song "Dream of Water Town", "Bayi, is this all a new song? I think we can add lyrics to it and turn it into a song. A song, and find someone to sing it."

"Dad's vision in music is really poisonous." Xiao Yao secretly sighed in his heart. "Water Town in Dreams" was originally a song from the previous life, Xiao Yao only took out the part of the song, unexpectedly Xiao Yao could see the essence of the song at a glance.

"Okay, who do you want to sing?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile, "This song is called "Water Town in Dreams", and the whole song has a feeling of Jiangnan Water Town. The lyrics must also be related to Jiangnan Water Town , do you have a suitable candidate? It’s best to be a girl with a soft and waxy voice, soft and delicate, with the feeling of a Jiangnan woman.” To be honest, Xiao Yao in his previous life felt that Jiang Shan’s singing this song was not enough. Inappropriate, although she is from Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, she can be considered a Jiangnan girl, but the most impressive image of her is the role of Du Mei in "Passing" a person who can tie up her husband , but there is no gentleness and gracefulness of Jiangnan women at all, so when Xiao Yao listened to this song in his previous life, he always felt a little awkward.

"How's Fan Linxuan?" Xiao Siqi smiled, "She's from the south, so she can sing well, and her voice is also suitable."

"Fan Linxuan? Are you going to sell the copyright of this song?" Xiao Yao said in shock.

"The melody is part of the song. You wrote this melody for the future "Women's Band". How could it be sold to others?" Xiao Siqi said.

"Then you said that you want Fan Linxuan to sing? She is not a signed singer of our studio." Xiao Yao said.

"Who said that?" Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Didn't you say that our studio will sign whoever wins? She is the champion and you are the runner-up. Of course the studio will sign her."

"But I heard that when she entered the semi-finals of Mr. Chen Huan's team, a record company had already approached her to sign a contract." Xiao Yao said strangely.

"A record company approached her, but they only expressed their intention to sign a contract with her, and did not sign the contract in black and white, because the record company said that it would determine her final signing conditions based on her final results in the show. After the show ended, I found her. At that time, she was still negotiating the terms of the contract with the record company. Before she signed it, I cut it off." Xiao Siqi said with a smile.

"Is it wrong for you to steal people like this? It's bad for our studio's reputation if it spreads out?" Xiao Yao frowned worriedly.

"Yo, I didn't expect you to be related to the reputation of the studio." Xiao Siqi gave Xiao Yao a thumbs up, and then continued, "Your mother and I have been running this studio for two years, so why don't you think about it? Don't worry, Dad will definitely not do such a thing as having an antagonism with a major record company because of a new singer. As long as the work is done properly, the other party may not necessarily be disgusted."

"Do you do your job well?" Xiao Yao was still a little puzzled.

"Actually, in the music circle, the most scarce resource is not singers, but creators." Xiao Siqi explained, "It's not hard to find good singers, but good music works written by talented creators are treasures. Our Although the studio is small, it has two very important creators, your father, Mr. Shen and me. After the program, you can be counted as one of them now. I promise our studio to provide five songs for the singers under their company Songs with guaranteed quality are enough to dispel their company's dissatisfaction with our intrusion.

Also, on the one hand, after the emergence of our company, Fan Linxuan herself is more inclined to sign a contract with our studio; It's still the fame gained after the game, but it was all overshadowed by you, the runner-up. "

"Why don't I know these things?" Xiao Yao said with some dissatisfaction.

"You are not a management member of the studio, is it necessary to explain these things to you?" Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao strangely and asked.

"I..." Xiao Yao was speechless.

"You don't feel bad about being in the same company as the person who defeated you, do you?" Xiao Siqi laughed.

"Of course not." Xiao Yao shook his head immediately.

"That's good." Xiao Siqi said, "After your album is released, the music department in the studio behind will prepare the album for Fan Linxuan in addition to setting up the "Women's Band". The lyrics for this song will be left to you." Yes, the song is included in Fan Linxuan's album and given to her to sing. Maybe the orchestra and Fan Linxuan's album will come out at about the same time. With such a song, the two can also promote their cooperation on many occasions. "

"Okay, no problem." Xiao Yao nodded. The lyrics are already ready-made, so it is naturally not a problem for Xiao Yao.

"What you said seems to have given me another idea." Shen Yinan said, "Not only can we change folk songs and add modern Western instruments to folk music, we can also adapt modern pop songs and add folk music to modern Western instruments. At that time, we can also invite the original singers of those songs to perform with the band. If the band becomes popular, maybe some singers will come to us and ask us to adapt their songs like this.”

Since Xiao Yao confirmed that he would only provide a few songs, and Xiao Siqi was not very familiar with folk music, the burden of creating music for the orchestra in the future would mainly fall on Shen Yinan, who also had a deep understanding of folk music, so he was very familiar with this aspect. It is also more concerned.

"That's a good idea." Xiao Yao agreed. The "Twelve Women's Band" in the previous life also performed with pop singers in the form of live accompaniment several times. Many things about music can be figured out, even if Xiao Yao doesn't mention it, Shen Yinan can figure it out by himself. (To be continued.)
