The legend of rebirth

Chapter 296 Chu Moer's Rock
Saturday, in recent months, this day of the week has gradually become a carnival day for Chinese music fans.

Of course, there are also a small number of music fans. In recent days, Saturday is their emotional suffering day.

Every Saturday, Chu Wenxuan, a professor of the Chinese Department of the University of Minnesota, would try his best to cook a delicious meal at noon.

In the university, other faculty members and even some students have their own cars, but Chu Wenxuan does not.

Apart from supporting his family, his income is basically spent on the collection of ancient books. There are many treasures he is proud of in the study, but he is reluctant to buy a car.The food market is about two kilometers away from the university faculty apartment, and Chu Wenxuan usually rides a bicycle or walks there.

It was just dawn, Chu Wenxuan got up and got dressed.

Jiang Wenxiu, who was beside her, heard the patter of rain outside the window, and said softly, "It's cooling down today, and it's raining outside again, so don't go to the vegetable market, let's just eat something."

Chu Wenxuan stroked his wife's hair, and said with a smile, "I called the fishmonger yesterday. Early this morning, a batch of wild small yellow croakers were restocked, and they were so fresh. I'll go buy them, and I'll make you some shredded pickled bamboo shoots." Yellow croaker soup. I also bought two pork knuckles, crushed them in a pressure cooker, and then braised them with red fermented bean curd."

"I'm so hungry for you..."

"Then you sleep for a while, I will come when I go."

At noon, the old couple finished their lunch, and Jiang Wenxiu wanted to wash the dishes, but Chu Wenxuan snatched away the work: "Let me come, you go and rest for a while. I will call you on time at two o'clock."

"I see." Jiang Wenxiu said, "You must have gotten wind of Ye Luo's song in the afternoon. It's still a very sad song, right?"

"Hehe." Chu Wenxuan smiled, "It seems to be, but Ye Luo also told me when he came last week that today our Mo'er's new song is actually rock and roll. I think it will be very good."

"This girl Mo'er sings rock and roll?" Jiang Wenxiu's eyes raised expectations, "Then I don't know how crazy it will be. I must listen to it later."

……

Tianjing, Ding Shaoyang's home.

Since the integration and establishment of Tian Lai Records, Ding Shaoyang, the music director, has been so busy that he has never had a day off.

When the board meeting was held yesterday, I don’t know which producer mentioned this matter. The boss Ke Hao was not happy, and said to Ding Shaoyang: “Old Ding, you are now the Optimist Jade Pillar and Jia Haiqiong of our Teana Records. Liang, you have to rest. Otherwise, if you get tired, what should we do? Don’t say anything, I’m going to play the boss’s prestige today. This weekend, you have to rest at home and don’t worry about anything. Come to work."

Ding Shaoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the boss ordered him to obey.So on this day, Ding Shaoyang rested at home.

Ding Shaoyang is a native of Tianjing, born and bred within the second ring road.My home is in the alley, not far from Houhai, a courtyard house, an old house.

Lao Ding has always been not very particular about food, especially after his wife passed away two years ago, he never had a meal, and when he played music, he completely forgot himself and could eat it as a meal.

Li Yiming is well aware of his master's nature, so he is not at ease. Today he specially came to visit master, and by the way, he went to the vegetable market, bought ingredients, and wanted to make lunch for master.

Li Yiming's culinary skills are the same as his music style, he is a bit paralyzed, there are a few things he is good at, but others are not, it is incomparable with Chen Lu, and the most good thing is the authentic fried sauce in Old Tianjing noodle.

He knew that his master didn't like to eat green vegetables, and he would not enjoy eating meat on weekdays, and it would be bad for his health if he continued like this, so he prepared a lot of vegetables.Cut cucumber, Chinese toon, green radish, and cabbage into thin shreds, add bean sprouts, green beans, and soybeans, and set aside for later use.

In the pot, the fried diced pork belly, together with the yellow sauce, is simmering over a low fire, and the whole kitchen is full of aroma.

While he was busy with work, Li Yiming heard the sound of the pipa in the living room outside the house.

The piece played by Ding Shaoyang is not available on the market, and he wrote it himself.When Li Yiming was listening to it before, he asked what the song was, but he didn't answer.

Ever since his wife passed away, Master didn't like to stay at home very much. Whenever he was free at home, he would play this piece.

The tune is sad and sad, Li Yiming has this kind of skill, so he can hear it, nine times out of ten, this song is the master's mourning for his wife.

The noodles were ready, and the master and apprentice sat at the table to eat the noodles.

While eating, Ding Shaoyang asked, "Why didn't the filming crew follow us today?"

"I said hello, but I didn't let them come, so as not to disturb you." Li Yiming replied.

"How is the song on the show?" Ding Shaoyang asked.

"It's okay, this week's type is something I'm good at. Even if I face Ye Luo, Chen Tianhua, and the twin ghosts, I can still fight." Li Yiming said.

"Oh, that's the jazz." Ding Shaoyang knew his apprentice's strengths well, and smiled, "If it's this type, they will give you fifty votes, and you have a chance to not be at the bottom."

"Master, in your opinion, if it's jazz, which group is most likely to win the championship next week?" Li Yiming asked softly.

"It's hard to say." Ding Shaoyang said, "If we infer from common sense and past performance, Chen Tianhua and Shuanggui should be comparable in their ability to make jazz in China.

Hong Kong Island is the land of revival of Chinese jazz, and Shuanggui is naturally good at this style of music.As for Chen Tianhua, he should be the most comprehensive tutor among all, no matter what type of music he can't help.

As for Ye Luo, he rarely released jazz music. It seems that there is only the song "Can I Hug You", which has a bit of jazz flavor.Normally speaking, Ye Luo should not be favored.But you should also know that this young man's musical skills are really bottomless.Woe to anyone who despises him. "

The master and apprentice chatted for a while after eating, Li Yiming got up and said goodbye: "Master, then I'll go back first. I have to watch them make the program."

"Go." Ding Shaoyang waved his hand, "But take it easy, don't feel pressured. This round, you won't be ashamed to lose."

"En." Li Yiming nodded and went back.

Ding Shaoyang continued to pick up the pipa and sat in the room to play it.

The sound insulation in the old courtyard house is not very good. After lunch, most of the neighbors have to take a lunch break. After playing for a while, someone from the next door shouted: "Old Ding, take a rest, don't be tired."

Ding Shaoyang smiled wryly, and said loudly: "Okay, I won't play anymore."

"Are you resting today?"

"Yes."

"Then come to my place for dinner, don't start the stove yourself. Let's have a drink or two."

"Row."

After hanging up the pipa, Ding Shaoyang also went to take a nap, and woke up at exactly two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ding Shaoyang went to the study and turned on the computer.

While waiting for the computer to start up, Ding Shaoyang took out a box of cigars from the desk drawer, cut it up and lit it, and amidst the smoke, he clicked on Ye Luo's music section.

This week, the two mainline songs of Journey of Love have already been played.

The first song is "From the beginning to the present" sung by Ye Luo himself.

Ding Shaoyang was naturally satisfied with the quality of the song itself, especially Ye Luo's singing, which made Ding Shaoyang nod repeatedly, and said to himself: "This kid, if he only becomes a singer, he can also become a generation of heavenly kings."

After listening to the first song, Ding Shaoyang was still unsure, and clicked on the second main track song.

As soon as the prelude came out, Ding Shaoyang froze for a moment.

The prelude of this song, the volume of the accompaniment is louder than the average song, the piano, keyboard, string group, electronic drums come one after another, it is not Chu Mo'er's usual quiet way.

When arranging music, the volume of each instrument is also particular.Corresponding to different music styles, what instruments should be highlighted, and the volume contrast between vocals and accompaniment are all different.

Generally speaking, in today's commercial music, singers are the most prominent, so the volume of the human voice is often adjusted higher, and the volume of the accompaniment is slightly lower.

If it is an artistic musical work, the role of the human voice is equivalent to a musical instrument in the hands of the musician, so for the overall effect, the volume of the human voice will be lowered, similar to other musical instruments.

And if the volume of the accompaniment at the beginning of a song is higher than that of ordinary music works, and the instrumental elements are very complicated and the momentum is extraordinary, then nine out of ten it is rock and roll.

Ding Shaoyang has been immersed in pop music for decades, and his ear is not a problem.So he immediately recognized that it was probably a rock song.

After the prelude, Chu Mo'er's voice sounded.When Chu Mo'er sang this song, she didn't use her usual gentle and moving style. She used her voice very practically, full of strength.

"In my memory, I recall vague childhood, clouds floating in the blue sky.

At that time, you said that you would hold hands with me and walk to the end of time together.

……

Our love, once gone, never comes back.

Until now, I am still waiting silently.

Our love, I understand, has become your burden.

Just forever, I can't let go.

The last warmth, the warmth you give. "

The title of the song is "Our Love".

Ding Shaoyang, whether he is making music, playing music, or listening to music, has always been free and easy. His talent is enough to let him gallop freely in the ocean of music.

For so many years, he has buried his emotions deeply in the music, but he rarely loses control.

The only time he got out of control was two months ago, when he was writing the series of songs of "Half Life", thinking about his dead wife, he once locked himself in the office and shed a tear silently, not daring to cry out loud. Because the apprentice is right outside the door.

But today, maybe because I have been away for a long time, I am a little bit thinking about others.When the chorus of "Our Love" was played together, the drumbeat and Chu Mo'er's voice came out, the grief in Ding Shaoyang's heart that had been well controlled for the past two years suddenly flooded his eyes, and tears almost filled his eyes. overflow.

He immediately wiped his eyes with his hand, took a puff of cigarette vigorously, and forcibly suppressed this emotion.

He raised his head and looked around, then stood up and took the pipa hanging on the wall.

The sonorous and powerful pipa sounded again in the courtyard.
