Chapter 266

With the arrival of the musicians, the three also ended the discussion and switched to the recording room to play Xiao Yao's three songs.

Since Shen Yinan and Xiao Yao were both on the stage in person, Xiao Siqi, as a recording engineer, stayed here to record the musicians' performances.

These people are all mature musicians. In addition, this performance is only for recording a sample to listen to the effect and to prepare for the perfection of the music arrangement. It is not to be an official version of the music source, and there is no need to pursue perfection. So these three songs were recorded in one day.

"It does sound good." Shen Yinan, who has heard three pieces of music, nodded first, "but if we want to achieve very good results, I don't think the configuration we agreed on in advance may be enough."

"You mean a dozen people are too few." Xiao Siqi asked.

"Yes," Shen Yinan said, "just say these three pieces of music of Bayi. In addition to" water town in a dream ", if the other two pieces want to have a good effect on the stage, I think it's better to prepare four erhu and pipa, two guzheng, two Yangqin, four long and short dizi, plus Xiao and Xun. In this way, the band will have to be a team of nearly 20 people. "

"This line-up is almost catching up with the symphony orchestra, plus the musicians of modern Western musical instruments, I'm afraid the stage will be too crowded for this live performance?" Xiao Siqi frowned and said, "according to the meaning of Bayi, when performing on the stage, the orchestra doesn't always stand still on the stage, such as flute, Xiao and Xun, which are playing instruments in hand, and erhu, which can be fixed on the body with waist support, all need a certain space to move around on the stage and arouse the audience's atmosphere."

"Grandfather Shen said this configuration is for comprehensive consideration. In fact, not every song needs 20 people... No, most songs don't use so many people." Xiao Yao said, "in football, some players can play in multiple positions and are called" all-purpose players ". Some players can play in other positions temporarily and are called" one expert with multiple abilities ". We can do the same thing. When selecting people, we should give priority to some musicians who are good at many instruments at the same time.

The same type of musical instruments have certain commonalities, such as flute, piccolo and Xiao? Even folk music and Western musical instruments can play, such as those who can play erhu and violin, those who can play flute and saxophone, those who can play guzheng and piano, those who can play Pipa and guitar, we will adjust the personnel according to different tunes, just like football coaches arrange troops according to their needs You can reduce the number of people you need. "

"It's a way," Shen Yinan thought and nodded. "Although not everyone can play more than a dozen instruments like you, it's very common to have two or three. What do you think is a suitable number for the orchestra? Is there any experience you can learn from? "

"I can't say that. But I don't think we can limit the number of dead bands. The so-called iron barracks and flowing water soldiers, a team of more than ten people, are very difficult to maintain personnel stability for a particularly long time. Aren't we going to choose people? We can select members and prepare a certain number of substitutes at the same time. Whether members need to leave the orchestra for some special reasons or for personal reasons, we can also find substitutes in a very short time. " Xiao Yao said, "these are basically all the ideas I can think of."

"Well, it's hard for you to think of so much," Xiao Siqi nodded with satisfaction. "Let's discuss with other people in the Department about how to operate." Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying also see Xiao Yao's hard work during this period. They say that they want to give Xiao Yao some pressure to participate in more work. However, they feel a little distressed when they really see that Xiao Yao has spent almost all his weekends and holidays on work since the beginning of school. "It's been almost two months. It seems that you've only had a weekend off, haven't you? You've been working hard for a while. Let's have a good rest. Let's do the rest by ourselves. "

"I was just putting forward opinions and ideas, and I didn't intend to participate in it myself." Xiao Yao smile, "but rare you are willing to give me a holiday, I am still very happy."

"Then I'll go first." Xiao Yao called, pushed open the door of the recording room and left.

"Xiao Yao!" When Xiao Yao went to the door of the studio to push the door to leave, a cry came from behind.

"Cheng Xi? Why are you here? " Xiao Yao looked back and found that it was Cheng Xi. He was a little curious.

"What do you mean? Can't I come to the studio? I'm a contract artist here. " Cheng Xi micro side head smile way.

"No, when shooting MV some time ago, didn't you say that you magnified it? Why did you come to the studio at the weekend? Did my mother arrange work for you again? " Xiao Yaodao.

"No," Cheng Xi shook his head. "I'm here for you. When I called you, no one answered, so I asked sister Jiaying. She said you were recording in the studio. I happened to be nearby, so I came here. Just now I saw you in the studio with Mr. Shen and boss Xiao. I didn't go in to disturb you. I've been waiting here. "Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and found that there was Cheng Xi's missed call on it. He looked up to Cheng Xi and said, "I was recording just now, so the mobile phone is silent. You came here to see me. Is there anything urgent

"It's nothing urgent. I'm here to invite you to dinner. Are you free in the evening?" Cheng Xidao.

"To eat?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I'm free when I'm free, but I suddenly want to invite me to dinner. Is there any reason?"

"It's nothing special," Cheng Xi said with a smile. "This time shooting MV, it was originally agreed that it was a free voluntary help, but later unexpectedly, it got a reward. If you have a windfall, you have to give it away. I haven't got together with the dance troupe for a long time, so I wanted to get everyone together, have a meal, and then find a place to play. For one thing, I owe my unexpected fortune to you. For another thing, you are a member of our dawn dance company. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I want to invite you to join us. "

"Well, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's good to get together in the evening." Xiao Yao nodded and agreed.

"Well, it's almost time now. Let's go. The place has been reserved. We will gather at the place where we eat in a moment. " Cheng Xi said, and asked Xiao Yao to walk out of the studio.

"In your current situation, at most, you are still famous in the dance company, so you should not participate in their dance activities any more?" Xiao Yao chatted with Cheng Xi as he walked, "look at you, you still have a close relationship with the people in the dance company."

"Of course," Cheng Xi said with a smile, "although I've changed my career now, I'm only a nominal member in the dance company, but I'm different from you. Chen Chen and I started this dance group hand in hand, and our feelings were not so easy to fade. When we had nothing to do, we would always practice dancing with them. It's been months since you came back from the United States, and you haven't appeared in the dance company yet. "

"I don't think it's a big deal?" Xiao Yao said with a bitter smile, "taking part in programs, recording albums, making MV, one thing after another, besides, I'm still in school."

"I just said that casually," Cheng Xi looked at Xiao Yao and said, "I know you have a lot of things. That's why I came to pick you up today. Please

In the meantime, they have come to a red imported high-end car.

"Your car?" Xiao Yao opened the door of the co pilot and sat in, "it seems that your development over the past year is really good."

"I'm also lucky," Cheng Xi said as she got into the car and started the car. "Who would have thought that I could be a dancer, and I could really be chosen by Jiaying to be an actress."

"It's also the result of your own talent and hard work." Xiao Yao said, "I heard that when you learned acting from my grandfather, you worked very hard."

Xiao Yao was a little worried again and said, "but the people in the dance troupe really don't mind your present situation. Don't they have any ideas? After all, you are different from me. When I joined the dance company, everyone knew that I was a second-generation star and soon knew that I was an actor. But you used to be a team and joined the studio together. Now there is a big gap between you and them. "

"There must be some ideas," Cheng Xi said with a smile. "Sister Jiaying also took this into consideration and specially told the people in the dance group that my situation is not a special case. If other people in the dance group can show their ability to sell the studio in other aspects, the studio will also use the resources of the studio to support me. So there are a lot of envious people in the dance troupe, but there should be no jealousy and hatred. "

Cheng Xi sighed: "a boss like jiayingjie really has nothing to say. But at the end of the day, I want to thank you. If I hadn't known you, I don't think I would have been today. Maybe I'm still working as a teacher in the gym while I'm looking for jobs with my brothers and sisters in the dance company. "

"Do you think if I make the history of our acquaintance public, will all the girls on the bus be eating ice cream?" Cheng Xi suddenly brain hole big open smile way.

"According to what you said, you should thank the muscle man in the gym most?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I remember it was Xue Gang, right? If he hadn't stopped me and insisted on finding fault with me, I think I would have given you an ice cream and then left. Maybe we would not know each other at all. "

"Yes, you beat him up a lot. After a few days off, I came to work Cheng Xi way, "at that time really did not expect, see you young, unexpectedly so fierce."

"By the way, you and Chen Chen used to be the leaders of the dance troupe. Now you are solo, now is not Chen Chen has the final say? Can he manage it alone? Especially the girls who do modern dance. "

"In fact, we don't need Chen Chenhua to think too much now. All these years together, we have a tacit understanding. As for choreography, we don't choreograph any more. Before each performance, there is a special choreographer to teach everyone the dance. Everyone just listen to the choreographer, so Chen Chen doesn't have much to do Cheng Xi said, "and Chen Chen, stimulated by me, is also actively preparing for transformation. Originally, the professional life of a dancer is not long. A dance company like ours, which specializes in dance accompaniment, is more likely to have a meal of youth and dance for a few years. ""Chen Chen also wants to become an actor?" Xiao Yao was surprised.

"No, he has no talent and no interest in acting." Cheng Xi said with a smile, "the studio is divided into the Performing Arts Department and the music department. I want to be an actor. He wants to be a singer

"Chen Chen wants to become a singer?" Xiao Yao was stunned at first, then shook his head and said, "don't blame me for speaking straight. I'm afraid my father doesn't like his singing level."

"He sings very well, but what he wants to be is not a singer, but a rapper." Cheng Xi said, "you know Chen Chen is the kind of person who plays street culture. He is good at hip-hop and rap in hip-hop, graffiti and music. Don't forget, you learned graffiti and rap from him. In fact, this time I asked you to come out to see if you could help him in this aspect. "

"How can I help him?" Xiao Yao said, "write a song for him?"
