"I said, Xiao Li, you seem to like Humai very much."

Professor Li chuckled.

"I remember that the soundtrack of "Ling Cage" you made before used Humai in several places."

"Well, if you like it, you must like it, but using Humai doesn't mean that you really like it."

Li Shaojie nodded.

"Use it if it suits you, no matter where he is from."

"Don't say it, it's really a good idea to use Humai to interpret nature."

The more Professor Zhang thinks about it, the more he thinks it's great.

"Because, Khoomei itself is the echo of the ancient nomads imitating nature, the calls of cattle, sheep and horses, the shouts in the open grasslands, mountains, and waterfalls."

"Furthermore, using Humai, our traditional vocalization method, and this unique guttural sound, can be used differently from the human voice in Western music."

"That's right, and you see here, Xiao Li, the backbone is the traditional Chinese way of composing music, but in fact, the sub-voices are skillfully processed to harmonize each other, which is in line with the Western harmony system. , but very different."

Professor Li felt more and more messed up, so he couldn't help but kept nodding his head.

The Humai art inherited and carried forward by the Mongolian nation has become more and more sensational in the international music scene in recent years.

Sociologists, anthropologists, historians, and cultural and art scientists from various countries have shown great interest and general concern, and many leading national musicians and vocalists of the "national team" have even It was an appeal.

Protection, inheritance, innovation, research! !

The melody of the human voice has always been a single voice.

And Humai's single-person multi-part vocal music can even be said to have broken a lot of "common sense".

The chain reaction caused is naturally huge, and in the eyes of these professors, what Li Shaojie has carried out is a very valuable organic fusion of Humai and orchestra in serious music.

The more you learn, the easier it is to fall into a fixed mindset sometimes.

A genius breaks common sense and fixed thinking!

Don't get entangled in business, seriousness, creative techniques, let alone rules and regulations! !

Of course, if you want to achieve this level, the premise is to learn the rules and regulations solidly.

"Hmph, I get angry when I mention anime soundtrack."

When Professor Chen heard the animation soundtrack, he was not happy at that time.

In particular, what made Professor Chen angry the most was Li Shaojie's "blatant use of rock and roll".

As for the sound of the electric guitar in the execution song in "JOJO", the sound is all in Professor Chen's heart.

Every time I listen to it, I think of the way my son was angry with me at that time, as if his son shook the guitar to me with a "rebellious" face, telling himself "I won't play serious music anymore".

"Tch, ignore that stubborn old man."

Professor Li rolled his eyes.

“I feel great!!”

"That's right, it's better to look forward."

"I also think that young people should have young people's ideas and concepts, and more importantly, they should have a trendy school belonging to young people."

Every word and every word of the old professors pierced Professor Chen's heart.

An angry Professor Chen stared.

"What do you mean?! You're talking like I'm an old-fashioned old man who can't accept new things!!"

It's not that Professor Chen can't accept animation, electronic music, and rock.

The main reason is that I can't accept that my sons and grandchildren who have been trained for a long time will all quit.
"Old man, I will tell you secretly."

Li Shaojie whispered to Professor Chen very loudly.

"I made an agreement with Uncle Chen, we will work together next time when we have a chance."

"Serious Rock~"

"???"

"Hahahahaha!"

There was joy at the banquet.

After the banquet was over, Li Shaojie took Qiu'er back to his small supermarket.

The days passed slowly.

This year's Spring Festival has also passed smoothly.

This Spring Festival, the creative progress is very gratifying.

Before the end of the long vacation, I took advantage of this time to complete the work.

Find collaborating ensembles to rehearse and start designing performances.

Relevant performers are actually not that hard to find.

The orchestra, the choir, the singers of the main characters and supporting roles in the story, and some color-type auxiliary performers, such as Humai, dancers, and so on.

The challenge of the whole program is not only the composing, but also the commanding challenge.

It is also a challenge in various aspects such as stage design, music and plot expression.

The difference is that this time the program has some funding or overall planning issues, and there is no need to organize the team by itself, but to have the support of the state.

Knowing that Li Shaojie's works are trying to make Dunhuang's art and culture into music and convey it with the voice of the world, the higher authorities attach great importance to and support Li Shaojie's activities this time.

The news even reached the ears of many bigwigs.

Now, many people in the industry are working hard to seize the right to speak and speak out in international culture.

This major event in culture and art naturally aroused strong attention from above.

With the folk opera "Yimeng Mountain" as the background, this time, many people above have special trust in Li Shaojie, and the green light was on all the way.

This put a certain amount of pressure on Li Shaojie, but it was also full of motivation.

Originally, Li Shaojie wanted to find an old friend and turn it in.

But this time there is a very official overall arrangement.

Under the official organization, the tasks submitted are also very busy.

Therefore, Li Shaojie came to the capital before preparing to start rehearsals.

The orchestra participating in this performance is the Symphony Orchestra of the National Center for the Performing Arts.

Li Shaojie came to the theater, ready to run in with the symphony orchestra.

"Hey! Do you know that the work we are going to perform this time is created by Li Shaojie!!"

After receiving the notice, the musicians of the orchestra chatted curiously in the background.

"Just heard, it is said that he personally commanded."

"Tsk tsk, young people in their early 23s, this is too fierce."

For so many years, there is really no young man who can stand up and direct an orchestra of the level of the National Center for the Performing Arts Symphony Orchestra. At most, he has staged some good popular works of the young men to adapt.

But the conductors are also their own people.

This time, it was really unprecedented.

"People are really different. He once conducted the Berlin Philharmonic when he went abroad. If it is said that it was supported by his teacher, but after returning to China, it is all his own strength."

"Who wouldn't say that!! Back in China, the first large-scale conductor's appearance was a big bomb like "Yimeng Mountain". The 22-year-old conductor handed it in, and the 23-year-old conductor us!!"

"But I have to say that people really have this strength, but don't underestimate him just because of his youth!!"

"How could it be possible to underestimate him!! Don't care if he is young or not, his strength speaks for himself!! Li Shaojie has works and is fierce. The most important thing is to be able to complete wonderful works, such as whether he is young or not? No important!!"

The team members couldn't help chatting with each other.

For performers who are really immersed in the forefront of music art, for them, nothing else is important except the strength and character of their collaborators!

All of these musicians have been in contact with each other since they were young, they are talented, and they have been practicing hard for decades!

For a long time, he has been self-reliant, moral, and moral.

Almost most of the members can be called "virtuous and artistic".

"Clean up quickly, Commander Xiao Li is coming soon!!"

"Get ready!!"

The backstage immediately got ready.

pat.

A violinist's rosin fell to the ground and shattered.

The people around were not too surprised.

Hi!Just dropping a piece of rosin is not a big problem, as long as the piano doesn't fall off.

But rehearsals are about to start, and the bow must still be rosined.

So the violinist scratched his head, took his bow, went to another room and knocked on the door.

"Brother Liu, lend me the rosin."

Brother Liu was taken aback.

"What about your own?"

"Just for a moment, I fell to the ground and shattered."

"Where's your spare?"

"It's not the same type! Just changed the bow and rosin two days ago! Silver powder is not very suitable for the second violin, and the bow has been used for too long. I'm thinking about getting a new bow and using gold powder."

"There are no big pieces on the ground?"

"Brother Liu, don't make trouble."

"Be careful next time! Don't make such low-level mistakes."

"Okay ok ok!"

The violinist smacked his lips, wiped it off quickly, and when he was about to go back to his room, he turned around and found that the head of the group was looking at him with a dark face.

The scalp was numb right then.

"Tuantuantuan."

"Okay, hurry up and get ready!! Don't be ashamed to wait a while!!"

The head pouted.

"Okay ok ok!!"

The violinist was about to slip away, only to find a handsome young man following the head of the group.

Seeing this face made me even more numb.

Good guy, I was caught by Li Shaojie.

"Haha, Commander Li, let's continue."

The team leader chuckled and continued to chat with Li Shaojie.

Li Shaojie glanced at the violinist just now, couldn't help smiling, and nodded.

The professionalism of the musicians of the orchestra can be seen from many details.

Any stringed instrument needs to use rosin, which is properly hit on the bow hair like putty, in order to have enough friction to make a sound.

And different rosins will have a little different impact on the tone.

This kind of influence is difficult to notice in piano practice, or small-scale rehearsal, or some ordinary orchestras.

The gap among them must be heard with very sensitive ears.

Except for the nuances of dark and light rosin.

As for the violinist just now, the gold powder and silver powder in his mouth were also very eloquent.

There are a lot of professional-level high-grade rosins. When making them by hand, some gold powder or silver powder, or even lead powder and copper powder are often mixed in to change the performance of the rosin.

Copper powder is more suitable for beginners, and it is easier to produce sound.

The lead powder is very soft and gentle.

It will be more suitable for some viola expressions.

Silver powder rosin will make the violin produce a concentrated and bright sound, which is more suitable for the first violin who often performs the main melody.

Therefore, players who just belonged to the second violin are more suitable to use gold powder to make the sound warm and clear without being too concentrated and bright.

The reason why the scenes of many top orchestras are very explosive, completely surpassing the quality of recordings by several times, is actually that there are countless details in these delicate foundations.

Sometimes, in addition to the difference in the tone of the piano, it is necessary to pay attention to other details.

details make a difference.

This very subtle sense of layering can be fully expressed and captured on site.

However, recordings are transformed into electrical signals, so it is naturally difficult to completely restore them.

Li Shaojie followed the group leader to the rehearsal hall.

Standing on the podium, he said hello and bowed to everyone.

Amid the applause, Li Shaojie began to look around at the musicians.

The National Center for the Performing Arts is affiliated to the National Center for the Performing Arts.

No matter in China, Asia, or the world, they are definitely top-notch orchestras.

It is enough to represent the highest artistic level in China.

It can be seen that some bigwigs attach great importance to this performance.

"I won't say too many, and the music scores of each part are distributed to everyone by the notation teacher."

Li Shaojie nodded.

It can be seen that these musicians are very friendly.

I just don't know. After the rehearsal, I can still be friendly.

"Everyone can take a look at some story introductions at the back of the score, so that everyone can understand the work."

Swish swish!
There was the sound of turning pages.

"In order to allow everyone to better understand the content, and to deepen the tacit understanding of cooperation and running-in, the team leader and I have prepared a team building."

Li Shaojie smiled slightly.

The musicians were all taken aback.

Shouldn't you be rehearsing earlier?

Why team building together?
But team building is a good thing.

"The place where the group was built is in Dunhuang. In order for everyone to understand the culture of Dunhuang more clearly and intuitively, not only experts will explain the content and art of the Dunhuang murals that this music is based on."

Li Shaojie smiled slightly.

"I also invited Professor Rong Zan to give you some superficial Buddhist courses."

The musicians of the orchestra were not surprised and nodded as a matter of course.

He quickly understood Li Shaojie's intentions.

Ordinary people, the first misunderstanding about the orchestra is that conducting is useless.

On the contrary, the command can be said to be the soul.

Any work performed by an orchestra can be said to be the work of the conductor, because a different conductor has different understandings and artistic tastes, and even the same work can express different textures.

And thus the second misunderstanding arises.

Since it's all about the conductor's understanding, why is it unnecessary to let the musicians understand it?
This is of course also a misunderstanding.

It is because I need to understand Li Shaojie's understanding, so I have to comprehend it myself.

For an orchestra with a soul, everyone needs to have thinking and understanding, rather than mechanical performance, let alone fishing in troubled waters!
The mobilization of pre-preparation was very fast.

There are even musicians who can't wait, start to find information by themselves according to the score, and try to learn in advance.

During the three days of preparation, Li Shaojie naturally had his own tasks.

Accept the interview.

For such a big event, there must be initial publicity, but it will not be particularly fanfare.

Many things have already been said to Li Shaojie.

Once you have achieved very good results in the international arena, it is not impossible for Yang Ma to personally give Bo top Amway.

When Li Shaojie came to the recording studio of the CCTV interview, he scratched his head somewhat.

Doubt life.

"You don't need to make too much fanfare during preparation"

"Without fanfare"

Then it's just an interview?

Jie Ge called the expert directly.

Maybe the boss's "fanfare" and what I think
May be different.

　The National Center for the Performing Arts Symphony Orchestra and the China Symphony Orchestra are not the same.

　　The former belongs to the China National Center for Performing Arts. (Established in 2009)

　　The latter is an art performing group directly under the Ministry of Culture. (Established in 1956, the original Central Orchestra)

　　The members of the two groups overlap and connect, and some fierce bosses will stay in the two groups at the same time or perform performances.

　　There is no distinction between high and low, they are all top orchestras that have broken through the country, representing the highest artistic level in China.

　　But each has its own strengths.

　　For example, the former is better at the field of opera, and the latter is better at the field of symphony, but there are also overlaps. We cannot say that there is a gap, but that their respective experiences and focus are relatively different.
