The legend of rebirth

Chapter 294 Back to School
Carrying a car of students back to the recording studio, the four girls fell asleep, and in the conference room that was transformed into a bedroom, they snored all over the place after a while.

Guys, Ye Luo couldn't control it, Yu Yiyi and Ye Luo really felt sorry for her, so she told the camera master to turn off the camera, rolled up the bed, hugged the girl and got into the car.

After three consecutive weeks of high stress and lack of sleep, Yu Yiyi lost a lot of weight, and her hand was so light that Ye Luo didn't have much trouble picking her up.

The commercial vehicle brought the sleeping Yu Yiyi to Jingshan Community, Ye Luo gave Song Yan a call and asked her to go downstairs to pick her up.

When Song Yan came down, the two of them carried Yu Yiyi into the bedroom together and put her on the bed. The girl seemed to be awakened, turned over, and said in a daze, "Teacher, I'm ashamed... ..."

"No, don't talk nonsense, you are great." Ye Luo stroked Yu Yiyi's hair. After all, the mattress at home was comfortable, and this girl soon fell asleep again.

Song Yan was standing by the bed, observing Ye Luo, and seeing Ye Luo doting so much on Yu Yiyi, this woman seemed a little incomprehensible.

"How do you feel about Yiyi?" Song Yan asked softly.

"She's my younger sister." Ye Luo stood up and said without changing his face.

"What about me?" Song Yan changed the topic.

"You are my sister." Ye Luo said lightly.

"I hate it, I'm younger than you." Song Yan rolled Ye Luo's eyes.

"I am older, but you are older." Ye Luo immediately changed the subject, "By the way, when Yiyi wakes up, remember to let her take a bath, the collar of her pajamas is yellow, and she also smells sour. "

"You don't need to say that." Song Yan said, "At home, I was her driver and nanny."

"Hehe." Ye Luo smiled, "Then let's eat dinner next door?"

"Ah."

……

He and Song Yan came to their own room next door, and the food was already fragrant in the living room.The "sisters" were all there today, and it wasn't long before Ye Luo entered, and then found himself surrounded by the "sisters".

"Ye Luo, what do you mean?" Zhang Jiaqi said.

"That's right." Chen Lu also said, "You are too dishonest."

"Okay, don't talk about him anymore." Li Xiuyun was trying to smooth things over.

"No." Zhang Jiaqi said, "Today's show recording, let Yingying sing that song, it's too bad. We can't listen to it in the audience."

"Yingying's singing is actually pretty good, but the song itself is so bad that I really can't save it." Chen Lu said.

Ye Luo calmly sat down on the sofa, ignored the other girls, and just said to Lan Yingying: "Yingying, you performed well today."

"Really?" Lan Yingying was very happy, "Just as long as you think it's good."

At this time Song Yan said softly: "Actually, the song that Ye Luo asked me to sing on the show two weeks ago was pretty bad..."

Chu Mo'er smiled and said, "You guys, I think it's because you've been singing Ye Luo's good songs all the time, and your taste has been cultivated."

"That's not it." Ye Luo spread his hands to his girlfriend, "Acting, acting in a good movie, your acting skills will increase, and acting in a bad movie, you will get even more. If you can perform a bad movie well, then the experience will be worth it. Singing is the same as acting, good songs and bad songs are sung, just like eating whole grains, which is good for physical and mental health.”

These few complaints from the sisters were actually just joking, and they didn't dare to really have any opinion on Ye Luo. Ye Luo made such a far-fetched explanation, and the matter was over.

"Let's eat then." Chen Lu suggested.

"Yeah." Ye Luo nodded and stood up, then seemed to think of something, "Chen Lu, you save a meal. Later, when Yiyi wakes up, Song Yan, let her come over to eat."

The two women responded, and then the whole room sat down at the dining table.

The food here at Ye Luo is good, but because Song Yan has a rather proud personality, she usually doesn't come to eat unless Ye Luo calls for it in person.Or Ye Luo would leave a copy for her and let Yu Yiyi take it there.It has been like this for several months.

When eating at a round table, the seats are a bit particular and fixed.

Ye Luo sat in the upper seat facing the gate, on Ye Luo's left was Chu Mo'er, and on the right was the butler Wang Nicole.

Today, Wang Nicole was busy outside and was not here. According to common sense, Song Yan could sit next to Ye Luo, but this girl knew the ways of the world, so she didn't go to sit, but sat beside Chu Mo'er.

Chu Mo'er was not so thoughtful, and Song Yan was sitting next to her. She was afraid that Song Yan would be polite, so she kept adding vegetables to Song Yan's small bowl.Chu Mo'er picked up a chopstick, and Song Yan ate it.

Seeing it, Ye Luo thought it was funny, put the vegetables into Chu Mo'er's bowl with chopsticks, and said, "Mo'er, don't just feed Song Yan, starve yourself."

"With you by my side, I won't be hungry." Chu Mo'er smiled slightly.

Song Yan felt slightly embarrassed, and said softly, "Mo'er, I'll do it myself."

Seeing Song Yan's embarrassment, Ye Luo knew that the conversation was off topic, and immediately changed the subject: "Song Yan, you don't know, Ding Shaoyang went too far today, and even lifted Deng Qi out. It seems that the next round , you still have to go up and press the field, or Lao Ding will turn the world upside down again."

"You are allowed to let me take the stage, and Ding Shaoyang is not allowed to send Deng Qi out?" Song Yan said with a smile, "You are to blame for this."

"What kind of recording will be next?" Chu Mo'er was eager to try, "I can also be on stage."

"The next round is jazz." Ye Luo smiled, "It's not impossible for you to compete in this style of song..."

Before she finished speaking, Song Yan interrupted with a smile: "Hey, Ye Luo, you can't be so unprincipled. Didn't you just say let me do it? Why did you change your mind when Mo'er acted like a baby?"

Chu Mo'er was a little embarrassed, and smiled, "Okay then, let Song Yan go."

"I'm just kidding." Song Yan smiled, "I've already played two rounds, this time it's Mo'er. Even if Ding Shaoyang continues to carry Deng Qi out, Ye Luo won't be afraid."

Ye Luo smiled and said, "Okay, don't give way. Let's all go. Mo'er sings, Song Yan plays the piano, how about we play a piano jazz?"

Chu Mo'er and Song Yan's eyes lit up, and they looked at each other. Song Yan showed a playful look on her face, and said, "It seems possible."

"Yeah." Chu Mo'er also nodded with a smile.

"Wow!" Lan Yingying on the other side couldn't listen anymore, "Ye Luo, you are so reckless!"

"That's right. Mo'er and Song Yan are going together, how can you make other mentors live!" Zhang Jiaqi laughed.

Song Yan said lightly: "It's for this effect. The network of singers is part of the mentor's strength. If they don't accept it, they can train singers themselves."

……

The next day, the four students woke up feeling refreshed.

However, as soon as Ye Luo arrived at the recording studio, he did not join them in the production of the new song immediately, but said: "You guys, your nerves are always so tense, making music will only get worse and worse. Let's go, I will take you there today. Relax."

"Teacher, where are you going?" Guo Zhen asked.

"School, Shangdu Conservatory of Music." Ye Luo smiled.

They left as soon as they said they were going, the group was fully dressed, and under Ye Luo's leadership, they arrived at the school in about twenty minutes.

At 08:30 in the morning, the first class has already started, the teaching building is full, and there are not many people outside.

For Guo Zhen and Yu Yiyi, they knew each other well here, so they naturally acted as guides, introducing this and that to Zhang Heng and Zeng Xuezhen.Ye Luo just followed behind them unhurriedly without getting involved.

Although it's cold today, the weather is good. Ye Luo hasn't come to school for a while, and it feels very kind to come here once in a while.

Behind Ye Luo and his group, the cameraman followed and took pictures of the inside and outside of the Shangdu Conservatory of Music.

Going back to school today was also a political task, so Ye Luo did it easily.Niu Xueyi said, in the show, we should promote the school more.After all, the original intention of this program was to select the school song.

During the break between classes, Ye Luo's pedestrians naturally attracted the attention of the students, and soon the surroundings were full of people, and there was no mention of the noise.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Luo led everyone into the teaching building of the composition department.

He had contacted Niu Xueyi and knew that at this point in the morning, there was a big class for the sophomore in the Composition Department, which happened to cover the jazz part.Now that he's here, Ye Luo wants the students to listen to it, treat it as a review, and learn something new by reviewing the past.

After a little commotion in the classroom, it was quickly suppressed by the bell for the class. The front door of the class, the teacher of this class walked in. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties.

Ye Luo quickly stood up: "Hello, Professor Sun."

Professor Sun saw Ye Luo, smiled slightly, nodded, stretched out his hand to signal Ye Luo to sit down, then lowered his head and opened the lesson plan: "Okay, let's continue the class.

In the last class, we have talked about the birth and spread of jazz in the United States, so in this class, we will focus on the history of jazz in China.

As early as the 40s and [-]s, our place, Shangdu, was the landing place and habitat of Western jazz.

At that time, jazz music was already popular in the upper class of Shangdu, and there were quite large-scale jazz performances and some high-quality jazz musicians.

However, jazz at that time did not exist in the form of pure music. It was mainly used as a dance companion in the ballroom, and it was an accessory for the night consumption of upper-class people.

After that, with social and political changes, jazz began to disappear in mainland China.A nearly 40-year fault has emerged.

During this period, it was an important development stage of jazz.

Jazz has gradually got rid of the stable dance music form, and has integrated rich music styles, cultural characteristics and performance skills. The charm, expressiveness and appeal of music itself have begun to be reflected, and it has gradually placed itself in the ranks of elegant art.

From the 80s of the last century, on Taiwan Island and Hong Kong Island in my country, Chinese jazz began to recover slowly with the rise of a group of musicians, and many good works appeared..."

Coming out of the classroom, Yu Yiyi asked Ye Luo thoughtfully, "Teacher, why are there so few good works in Chinese jazz now?"

Ye Luo smiled and said, "There are mainly two reasons for this.

First of all, because of the relationship between culture, jazz is an imported product, but all imported products, after the initial blind admiration and popularity, still have to undergo another test of mass culture aesthetics.

At this time, for a music form, it needs to be transformed into a localized form, and the characteristics of the local culture must be integrated.In this regard, jazz in China has had faults for quite a long time.

Another important reason is the social background.

The main mood of jazz is sadness, but in troubled times or social backgrounds of economic depression, jazz often has a market.But now, whether it is economic or political in China, it is booming, and jazz, as a kind of music with melancholic characteristics, will become niche.

But for us, the new generation of musicians, if we want to make Chinese jazz, we can't just copy the western style.We should make some changes on their basis, follow some of their basic characteristics, grasp the commonality of human aesthetics, and at the same time have the characteristics of the times and local culture. "

"This is so difficult." Yu Yiyi scratched her head.

"That's why there are so few good works." Ye Luo laughed, "However, for the new songs we participate in the show, don't be limited by the style of jazz, a little bit of jazz is fine.

It’s like frying a dish. When a guest says they want something spicy, we can’t just serve a plate of chili, right? We must have a little bit of everything, so that the guest can taste the spiciness in the end, that’s all. "

"I understand." Guo Zhen nodded.

"Understood, right? Well, go back and start working." Ye Luo waved his hand.
