Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 237 "Is your band still short of people?"

Chen Gang was numb.

Only after being trained by Li Can did you know how incredible this man is.

If.

Normal student practice intensity is massage, and master class is sparring.

The military training here for Li Can is really like a military exercise with fists hitting every corner. Every night when he closes his eyes, he will face the King of Hell.

This intensity.

Not tired.

It’s not painful, it’s not bitter.

It's totally difficult.

Other students may do a hundred questions a day, which is very tiring, but the questions are normal.

Li Can is different.

It is very likely that you will be solving the same question for the next few days, but it will be a world-class difficult question.

There has definitely been progress.

But the mental torture is greater.

"Gangzi, you should be content. Do you know who I invited to train you this time?"

Li Can shook his phone.

Chen Gang was shown a wave of recent chat records.

[Are you free?]

【Have! 】

[Would you like to come to the National Conservatory of Music and give a master class to the students so that we can have a discussion? ]

【wait for me! 】

Chen Gang's eyes widened.

On the other side, it was Xie Lang, a very famous international pianist in the piano circle, with whom he had had many exchanges.

"Maru spicy!"

Chen Gang couldn't be happy at all.

Li Can alone is enough to make her collapse.

Now there is one more person, Xie Lang.

"Gangzi, stand up."

"Not sharp."

The smiling Li Can and the sad-looking Chen Gang walked into the piano room.

Chen Gang naturally knew that it was a happy thing to be guided by a piano master like Li Can.

There is no resistance.

But the fear is overwhelming.

"During this period, you only have to master two things: timbre and color. Tone polishing is the foundation, and color expression is an extension. It's not difficult."

".God damn it's not that hard, just be a human being bro."

Chen Gang complained quietly.

It does sound easy.

But in reality it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Both are performers.

Why are some world-class players who can easily touch people's hearts, but others are just mediocre?

The reason lies in "color".

When some people play, it is a colorful and gorgeous picture, but when some people play the piano, it is like a black and white photo.

Volume, speed, tone polishing, etc.
These together constitute the "emotional expression" on the piano.

To say whether a person plays the piano with emotion or not is nothing more than referring to the quality and timbre of the sound, and the contrast between strength and weakness, speed and slowness.

The so-called "spirituality" and "talent" are mysterious things.

From a professional perspective, that’s all.

Back to Basics.

“The polishing of piano timbre is not like that of wind and string instruments. It is very simple at first, but very difficult to master in depth.”

Li Can began to tell the story.

Chen Gang also became serious.

Of all the instruments, the piano is the easiest to fool.

It's simply because the sound of the piano only needs to be pressed, and the splits can't be made out of it.

Not like orchestral music.

Don't even think about going abroad, you might go straight to hell.

As the practice deepens.

Since there are so many factors that affect the timbre of orchestral music, it is very complex, but correspondingly, its ability to express emotions is simpler.

For example, violin and flute.

Emotional expression is always more direct than piano.

Therefore, in many music pieces, violins are used in climax passages, and flutes are also often used when the emotions in folk music are at a high point.

But when the piano reaches a high level.

It is much more difficult to polish the tone and color of B.

"Give me one angry note."

"Boom!!"

"Give me a note of silence."

".bite."

"Give me a sad note."

“.Ding~”

It sounds mysterious and outrageous, but it is actually quite scientific.

Chen Gang's expression is very essential.

Angry notes are short and intense.

Be sure to record the sound, start short and fast, turn up the volume to maximum, and then stop instantly without delay.

The silent notes require a brief delay of half a beat.

The volume should be very low, the beginning should be slightly sticky, the sustain should be short, and there should be a gradual fading process, but the sound should be closed in time.

Sadness needs a stickier start, like a sigh. The volume at the beginning cannot be too light, but there needs to be a longer sustain afterwards, creating a strong sense of fading during the sustain process.

Like a sigh.

As for polishing the details, it is very difficult in itself. Often, the performance of a single note requires a whole day of adjustment before you are familiar with the satisfactory texture you want.

It's even just a sound.

The greater difficulty lies in making it coherent in subsequent performances, engraving it into muscle memory, and expressing it fluently.

In this way, in the contrast between notes.

A strong sense of contrast and appropriate connection can bring about huge emotional ups and downs.

In this kind of military training that is so detailed and irritating that it makes your scalp tingle.

Time passed slowly.

Two days passed in a flash, and when Chen Gang was almost unable to bear it anymore, Xie Lang finally arrived.

Now, Chen Gang’s training finally turned into the direction for the performer to interpret the work.

Li Can's training belongs to "internal strength and techniques", while Xie Lang's belongs to "the application of internal strength and techniques in actual combat".

With Li Can, we can start.

Xie Lang has also learned how to torture people.

If you understand one principle, you will understand all principles.

Xie Lang's strength is unquestionable. Without considering the peculiarities of functional monsters like Li Can, he is almost firmly seated at the top spot among the younger generation of pianists.

Torture, but rapid progress.

However, unlike Li Can, there was no mental torture when communicating with Xie Lang.

"Hey! Brother Lang, you don't know that talking about piano with Li Can really makes you doubt your life."

In their spare time, Chen Gang and Xie Lang started complaining.

"I asked him why he wanted to do the 11-degree finger-spinning move, and he demonstrated it to me directly, saying that it only takes hands to do it."

"."

"I asked him why he chose such a bizarre and inhumane position, and he said that he was tired of playing with ordinary techniques, and it would be more fun to do something different."

"."

The more he complained, the darker Xie Lang's face became.

Xie Lang, who had mastered the piano virtuoso exercises and had in-depth training in "The Spanish Smuggler", understood it very well.

Yes.

Until now.

Xie Lang still hasn't practiced the unique piano piece "The Spanish Smuggler".

"He did go a little too far."

Chen Gang was deeply moved by Xie Lang's complaints. For the first time, he felt that he could discuss the topic of piano with a human being.

Obviously, Chen Gang was very excited.

"Right?! Right!"

"."

Xie Lang didn't know what to say.

Anyway.

As early as when Xie Lang read Li Can's collection of works, he knew that this person was different and could not be treated as a human being.

"You've been in a band with him for too long, and sometimes you get the illusion that he's a person."

Xie Lang patted Chen Gang on the shoulder.

Meaningful.

"In the piano industry, no one treats him as a human being." "In the entire piano industry, there are only six first-line pianists willing to perform his works, including me."

"In the eyes of ordinary people, pianists are monsters. In the eyes of pianists, these top players are monsters. But in the eyes of the monsters among us, the monsters."

"Li Can is the monster."

Xie Lang's expression was complicated.

Looking at Chen Gang in front of him.

Finally I couldn't help but speak.

"Why do you keep thinking of treating him like a human being when you have nothing to do? You are obviously too arrogant."

"!!"

Chen Gang suddenly understood.

I really was drifting.

After spending a long time with Li Can, I gradually came to think of him as a human being.

Only after returning to the piano field can we see its true face again.

"."

Xie Lang was speechless.

In fact, in Xie Lang's opinion.

Chen Gang is already the most promising younger generation that he has seen in recent years.

No one says that he was influenced by Li Can.

Judging from his talent and current level alone, he has the potential to become a pianist, or even a pretty good rookie.

There is definitely a gap between them and myself, but it is not difficult to make a name for myself in the industry.

Exactly.

There are monsters in this B band.

In fact, Li Can has already taken the industry’s feelings into consideration.

The reason why many pianists in the industry are willing to play Li Can's works is simply because Li Can does not hold concerts on a regular basis.

If Li Can really gets involved in the industry, the piano community will be in big trouble.

Ever since "The Spanish Smuggler" entered the industry and built a very thick ceiling for "Etudes du Studi", this uncrowned emperor's status has never changed.

In many high-end games.

Li Can and his works are both popular thesis topics.

Just perform occasionally to maintain your status, and that will be good for you, me and everyone.
Xie Lang pondered for a moment and felt that he should give some positive encouragement to the younger generation.

He immediately said with a smile.

"I can recommend you a few performances in the industry."

"Carnegie Hall will be inviting some new talents to perform at the 35th Anniversary Piano Celebration. If you want to go, you will most likely be selected."

"When?"

Chen Gang was obviously moved.

"It's October next year, there's plenty of time to prepare."

Hearing what Xie Lang said.

Chen Gang suddenly became excited.

"Brother Lang! Brother Lang!"

"."

Seeing that Chen Gang looked like he wanted to hug him tightly, Xie Lang's expression twitched and he stepped back slightly.

"Don't be like that. It's just a matter of convenience. Whether it works or not depends on you."

"No, Brother Lang, thank you so much. How about this, do you play League of Legends? I will definitely give you a complete set of Pentakill Rock Band skins."

"Is your soul still in the S game?"

A question mark appeared on Xie Lang's face.

Of course I know about League of Legends and have even played it a few times.

But what is this Pentakill rock band?
"Oh yeah, you don't know."

Chen Gang chuckled.

"Hammer Company has designed a series of skins based on our band. The preview has actually been released. I guess it will be officially announced in this period of time and then put on sale online."

“I’m the keyboard player.”

"?"

"Hey, I heard there's a Grammy limited edition logo?"

"?"

"like"

"Okay, don't say any more."

Xie Lang's eyelids twitched wildly.

The size of the League of Legends is naturally known.

It is also known that the DP band has been nominated for a Grammy.

Xie Lang felt suffocated just thinking about the benefits that could be obtained with this double buff.

When he was abroad, Xie Lang once curiously estimated DP band's revenue for the year with company staff.

It doesn’t matter if I don’t calculate it, but when I did, I was almost scared to death.

Just the current revenue of Lighthouse and the projects that can be queried is about to exceed 50 million US dollars. It is hard to imagine what the subsequent impact will be with the dual efforts of Grammy and League of Legends.

There's even only one market for this.

We can’t beat them because they have more markets.

Xie Lang is a leader in the piano circle, with performances, albums, and endorsements. As the top young performer in the circle, he can earn 30 million US dollars a year.

But compared with the DP band, even if all members share it equally, it seems to be far inferior.

".I'm so envious."

Xie Lang suddenly had an outrageous idea and couldn't help but ask.

"Gangzi, is your band still short of people?"

"!!!"

Gangzi's heart suddenly started beating fast, and he felt like a disaster was about to happen.

He looked at Xie Lang.

Xie Lang laughed awkwardly and scratched his head.

"Hehe, just kidding, just kidding."

"Oh haha, so it was just a joke, hahaha so funny."

The two of them burst into laughter.

However, as they looked at each other, their laughter suddenly stopped, and an eerie silence surrounded them.

"."

"."

"Brother Lang!"

"I don't!"

"I haven't asked yet!"

"I'm afraid you'll misunderstand!"

"That's weird, why is Xie Lang leaving in such a hurry?"

Wait until a week has passed.

Li Can muttered in confusion.

I didn’t think much about it.

After these days of training and re-honing their basics, not only Chen Gang, but everyone else has made slight progress.

At the very least, after changing perspective and combining it with performance experience, one can have some epiphany.

And as time goes by.

At this point, Hammer Technology Co., Ltd. finally couldn't hold back its anger anymore.

Finally, after the announcement of [An ominous aura approaches Summoner's Rift].

The plan for [Pentakill Rock Band Exclusive Collaboration Skin] has also been officially announced and announced to all players!

[Devil Power transforms into a five-kill rock band and descends on Valoran! Summoners, are you ready for the sound wave shock? ! ]

Even more than just the original paintings were released.

For this promotion, Hammer Technology has made sufficient preparations!

Actual game video, actions, voice, skill effects and other details are displayed, as well as a unique world view.

Including production highlights, detail discussions, and designer interviews.

The whole row of noodles is full!

What shocked players and fans the most was the joint work of this project.

It turned out to be a new album by DP band!
Although the album record revealed that there were only five songs, it was enough to make the long-awaited fans exclaim that happiness came too suddenly.

[What the hell! What the hell! What did I find? ! ]

[Come at me! Come at me hard! Ah!!]

[Wow! I never thought that the Devil Power concert would be held in Runeterra]

[I know they have different styles, I know they are everywhere, but is it a bit too outrageous that he can also make a DP band in the game? 】

[Wow! This skin effect, I really can't stand it, is it okay to hit someone with a drumstick? ]

[God damn it, Braum knocked on the door, and he kept saying "hahaha". I can already see the future of the bottom lane being a river of blood]

[It’s over. Hammer Technology has also been polluted by the abstraction of the DP band]

The news has just been announced.

It immediately sparked widespread discussion in the player community.

The abstract design makes players feel a little overwhelmed and can easily make the opponent's blood pressure go through the roof.

It's just been promoted.

The expectations for the skin have already exploded.
