"Oh? The name came to mind. It seems that you have a lot of ideas. Come on, sit down and talk about it in detail." Xiao Siqi called Xiao Yao to sit on the sofa beside him. Even Shen Yinan sat over with great interest.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​combining folk music and pop music?" Shen Yinan asked first.

"I thought of it from my song "The Drunken Concubine"." Xiao Yao said, "During the final of Good Voice, I used this song to lead the second place by more than 100 votes in the first round. After all, this is a competition In the singing program, apart from the tricks I played on the costumes, the shock of the song itself must be the most important thing for the audience. And the song that impressed the audience the most must be the Beijing rhyme in it But if I had sung a complete Beijing opera on stage, no matter how well I sang, there would definitely not be such a result.”

"Yes, if it's really Peking Opera, not many young people like to listen to it now." Shen Yinan nodded.

"Actually, it's the same with folk music." Xiao Yao said, "If a Guzheng piece or a pipa piece is put together with a piano piece or a violin piece for people to choose, I think most people will still choose the latter. Not to say Our folk music is not good, but if it is pure music, we must choose to listen to Western instruments. But if we put the two together? Let’s talk about the prelude of my song, the first half of pure folk music sounds It’s very artistic, but after adding drums, bass and electric guitar in the second half, it sounds more exciting.”

"It's very exciting." Xiao Siqi recalled the second half of the prelude to "The Drunken Concubine", and nodded unconsciously.

"So, I think we can make such a piece into a complete piece of pure music and perform it separately." Xiao Yao said, "Use folk music as the main instrument, use drums and electronic drums to bring the rhythm, bass, Modern instruments such as electric guitars are used as accompaniment to folk music to enhance the rhythm and strength of the music. Whether it is a listener who likes to listen to modern pop music and has a certain feeling for folk music, or a listener who simply likes this new form of curiosity, Anyone who is not prejudiced against folk music should be attracted and like this kind of music.”

"It makes sense," Xiao Siqi said, "I heard what you said just now, and you specifically emphasized your appearance?"

"That's right," Xiao Yao said, "This kind of music definitely feels better when you listen to it live. Since it's listening to the scene, in addition to the auditory enjoyment, the visual enjoyment must not be ignored. Originally, people who study folk music are Mostly girls, this new form combined with modern Western musical instruments must be more acceptable to young people, so I think the orchestra should be composed of young and beautiful girls, so that the performance will bring the audience It is the double enjoyment of viewing and listening. It can even be called "visual music". Also, in addition to the appearance, the performance of this kind of music should also be different from the traditional soft and soft performance. It needs to be more passionate and expressive, so as to better stimulate the audience."

"A more passionate way of playing?" Shen Yinan looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"For example, Zhou Jin played the pipa just now." Xiao Yao said, "I found that Zhou Jin's personality is not as quiet as the girls who played folk music I have seen before, and she is not as quiet when she plays. The girl playing folk music is so gentle and demure, but she is very enthusiastic, feeling very passionate, and very expressive. I think her state just now, if it is on the stage, will definitely give people a very a different feeling."

Xiao Siqi and Shen Yinan recalled the state of Zhou Jinlu's accompaniment in the morning, and it was indeed different from ordinary girls playing folk music.

"So you want to get her to perform on the stage?" Xiao Siqi said.

"It's not her, it's them." Xiao Yao said, "I said it's the folk band,

Not a folk musician. "

"Let the four of them form a band?" Shen Yinan said.

"It can be four of them, but it doesn't have to be four of them. The most important thing is that it is definitely not just four people. My idea is that this orchestra should have about ten people. In addition to Guzheng, Pipa, Xiao and Dizi, At least Yangqin and Erhu are required, as for other lesser-known folk music such as Xun, Cucurbit, Duxian, etc., it depends on the situation.”

"Ten people?" Xiao Siqi asked in surprise.

"A lot?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Think about how many people there are in a symphony orchestra? Well, we are doing pop music, not compared with classical orchestras. But think about the idol girl groups in Korea. There are six or seven* people, and there are dozens of groups in Japan. I heard that there seems to be a company in Donghai that is planning to learn to create such a group. Are you afraid you won't be able to greet me?"

"According to the calculation of the orchestra, a dozen or so people is indeed not too many." Shen Yinan also said, "According to the way of thinking of Bayi, there must be at least two or three people for zither and yangqin, and for pipa and erhu. There are two Dizi, one Xiao, plus others, so there are not more than ten people? Recruiting people is also easy. Nowadays, it is not easy for those who study folk music to find a way out after graduation. We are creating a pop band, right? Girls nowadays are still very attractive. So many conservatories across the country have folk music departments, if we go to those schools to pick, are you afraid that you won’t be able to pick out a dozen girls with excellent looks and skills?"

"Actually, there is no need for us to go to the door to pick." Xiao Yao said, "Just like Grandpa Shen said, once the concept of our pop folk band is proposed, it must be very attractive to girls who study folk music. We can let them take the initiative to come to our door and let us choose."

"I have two methods," Xiao Yao stretched out two fingers, and continued, "The first one, isn't the talent show very popular now? We can also hold a talent show for folk musicians. In this regard, Shonan Satellite TV Very experienced. I remember that when we had dinner together after participating in "Everyday Upward", Uncle Wang Yuan seemed to be very concerned about the current situation of folk music. Now he has turned from the host to the behind-the-scenes. I heard that he has become the variety show department of Shonan Satellite TV Director, we can contact Uncle Wang Yuan and cooperate with Shonan Satellite TV to organize an audition. In this way, before the orchestra debuts, the members will already be well-known, and it will be easier for them to debut in the future."

"Is there anyone watching the talent show for folk musicians?" Xiao Siqi hesitated.

"I only provide ideas, and I still need to discuss with Shonan Satellite TV for details. They are more experienced, and they should be able to make a more professional judgment on whether it is feasible." Xiao Yao said, "Of course, if you think this is troublesome to operate , we can also send recruitment directly to the society. Isn’t the performance of our studio already very good? We said that we will launch a pop folk band and select members of folk musicians. I believe there should be quite a few people who apply directly No matter which of these two methods, it covers both the students in the school and the musicians who have graduated and entered the society, which is wider than going directly to the school and only picking the students who are currently studying.

Of course, in the latter way, the members of the orchestra will be less well-known when they debut. But we have a lot of concert resources in our hands. At that time, we will arrange for them to go to the concerts of some big-name singers for free or even pay as guest performances. As long as their performance is good enough, they will not worry about not being famous. The advantage of this is that the members will appear together, and the popularity gap between individuals will be smaller, which is more conducive to the internal unity of the team. And if it's an audition, when the orchestra debuts, there will be a relatively large reputation gap between individual members. We are a music group, unity is very important. "

"You have so many thoughts, why don't you take the lead on this matter?" Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao with a smile and said.

"No." Xiao Yao immediately shook his head and said, "Dad, I still have a lot of things to do in the future, such as filming an MV and writing a script. Besides, I will take the college entrance examination next year, and I can't relax in my studies. Now you let me be in charge of the group. Folk band? Are you trying to exhaust me? I only provide ideas, and I don’t participate in the specific operations. Besides, it’s not my specialty whether it’s selecting people or training newcomers. I’ll give you a few songs at most Type of music, you will find other people to create according to this type later. I can only help you so much!"

"Your mother is right, you have really become lazy." Xiao Siqi shook his head and smiled.

"Come on less!" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes helplessly. It seemed that both his parents were virtuous, and they wanted to squeeze their son every opportunity. This time Xiao Yao was resolute and unshakable. The reason for writing scripts is that he has an interest in this area, and he can learn to write scripts without having to do it himself. Form a band? Thinking of all those trivia, Xiao Yao's head gets dizzy. Besides, after more than two years of development, the studio is now considered to be a strong force, and it is not that there are no talents in this field in the studio. And in terms of cultivating musicians, even Xiao Siqi himself, no matter in terms of experience or ability, doesn't know how many times better than himself.

"I've finished my thoughts, and I won't participate in the specifics. Dad, you can discuss with the people in the studio yourself. Now that the recording is over, I'll go home first." Xiao Yao felt that it would be dangerous to stay any longer, Xiao Siqi might come up with some reason to drag him into the matter of forming a folk band, so he stood up and prepared to slip away, "For the MV, let me know after the preparatory work is done, and I won't come tomorrow gone."

"Have you made an appointment with Do'er? Have a date tomorrow?" Xiao Siqi asked with a smile.

"Personally, I won't explain to you." Xiao Yao said and was about to leave.

"Wait," Xiao Siqi hurriedly stopped him, "I mean, your mother said that the actor for the MV hasn't been selected yet, so I asked you to ask if Duo Er is interested in coming to your MV for a guest appearance? Your "Night Sky" Isn’t the protagonist of The Brightest Star in the movie three men and one woman? Your mother said that she wanted Duo Er to try the role of that girl.”

"Let Duo'er act?" Xiao Yao was stunned.

"Yes," Xiao Siqi nodded, "Your mother said that Duo'er has a good image and temperament, which is more suitable for that role. Although Duo'er has never acted in a play, her parents are actors, and she followed her parents in theaters and crews since childhood. I also spent a lot of time and learned a lot from them. Just a few minutes of footage in this MV is not a problem for her at all."

"Okay then, I'll ask her, but if she doesn't want to, don't pressure her to come through Uncle Sun and the others." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Don't worry, we don't even force you to do what you don't want to do, so why would you embarrass Duo'er?" Xiao Siqi laughed, "So you did have an appointment with Duo'er tomorrow?"

"I..." Xiao Yao rolled his eyes helplessly again. No answer, just open the door and leave.

"You father and son," Shen Yinan smiled and nodded at Xiao Siqi and said, "It's still the same for more than ten years. I don't look like my father, and my son doesn't look like a son."

"I've been here for more than ten years, anyway, I think it's pretty good. Maybe there are many people who envy our father and son's way of getting along." Xiao Siqi said proudly. (To be continued.)
