Chapter 135 Preparation before rehearsal

There are only a handful of top bands in China, among which Galaxy Band is more versatile, so they often get big jobs and are very wild in the circle.

CCTV holds an evening party, so there must be live music for such music performances, and other music troupes are not unavailable, but considering the comprehensiveness, Galaxy Band is better.

These people can do everything by playing and singing, and they are all talents, and they have a wide range of musical instruments.

After Zhao Gangsheng took Gu Qing and Shen Xiaoyan to the Galaxy Band, he answered the phone and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he just asked them to rehearse themselves.

The conditions are really relaxed, and they are not as tough as Gu Qing imagined by the big directors, and they almost let the guests play their freely.

Seeing this, Gu Qing naturally didn't dare to waste time. He participated in so many episodes of "The Great Sister" and had no trouble. If he had fallen into trouble at this critical moment at CCTV, he would have no place to cry.

He pulled Hu Bo and asked the first sentence: "Is there anyone in our team who is proficient in suona?"

"Suona? Are there suona in your new song?"

Hu Bo was stunned, then looked a little surprised.

It is said that ten years of flute, a hundred years of flute, a erhu pulls the waist, a thousand years of pipa, ten thousand years of zip, and the whole play ends with the sound of the suona.

Among musical instruments, suona is definitely the most rogue existence and cannot be used normally, but once you make a move, you either ascend to heaven or worship. When you make a music, you will be covered with cloth. The whole village is not a blow to wait for the food.

The happy and happy events of the people of Long Kingdom were penetrated by this small copper tube from birth to death.

However, even such a special instrument is not many people who can master it.

The main reason is that this thing is too "rustic" and there are very few places to use. Nowadays, modern pop music is popular, mostly with Western instrument accompaniment, and there are very few places to use suona, and no one is willing to learn it.

As for the fallen countryside and rural areas to handle weddings and weddings... Someone might have played it more than ten or twenty years ago, but now with the development of Long Kingdom into a developed country, even in rural areas, there are many villas. Whose family is not as busy as a big hotel when getting married? The suona thing is not on the table at all.

This has led to fewer and fewer craftsmen who know suona. No wonder Hu Bo was surprised when he heard Gu Qing’s request.

However, after a little thought, he said, "It's true that he is an old member of the band. But you can contact him. His family is in Hebei Province. If you need it, you can arrive tomorrow."

"That's good." Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. In his conception, the suona was the soul of this song. He had a strong role, so he was afraid that he would not be able to find a teacher who could play.

After a little reassurance, he turned to ask, "I need Pipa and Erhu, too."

“…”

Hu Bo looked at him deeply, then held it in for a while and said, "You have to contact me first."

The instruments Gu Qing needed this time were so different from those in the past. What type of new song is he going to perform? He actually used so many traditional instruments.

He wanted to ask, but he was afraid of being impolite and looked quite entangled, as if he had been constipated for three days.

Gu Qing saw what Hu Bo was thinking, and couldn't stand up straight. He took out the musical script and said, "Brother Hu, if we want to see this relationship, just say it straight, why do you have to do this?"

"...Isn't this trying to be reserved?" Hu Bo blushed, and a man with big and thick looks a little cute at this moment.

Then he pretended to be careless and took the manuscript of the new song, his eyes swept over the notes in a row, and the music sounded in his mind. His expression gradually became serious, completely forgetting the embarrassment just now.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and could already imagine the general effect of this song.

I couldn't help but sigh: "This song is niche enough, but it may also become a hit."

He only watched it once and had already concluded the two endings of Gu Qing's new song, either becoming like everyone else or becoming popular on the Internet.

There is no third possibility. If this song doesn't become a hit, you can only wait to die because it's too niche.

At least in the music circle of Long Kingdom, there is no other music of the same type. The lack of lessons from the past means that he wants to become the pioneer of the land. Gu Qing's move is quite risky.

"I know, so... I want to find the best musical instrument teacher and try to polish it into the most perfect appearance." Gu Qing admitted without objection.

Hu Bo asked again, "This song seems to have a complete backstory? Can you tell me?"

Although there were not many lyrics on the musical manuscript in his hand, he also saw that each sentence was connected, and even echoed before and after. There was no doubt that this was a complete story as the background.

Gu Qing nodded, but did not hide it, and slowly told him in a storyteller.

He spoke very seriously. Not only Hu Bo, but the tiger ladies beside him were also listening nervously with their ears pricked up, grinding their tiger teeth from time to time, and being indignant.

"That bully is so bullying!"

Shen Xiaoyan shouted with her fist, and she was also listening to Gu Qing telling the story in the lyrics for the first time, but she didn't expect it to be such a tragedy.

Hu Bo is not that sentimental. This story is well composed, but it is not amazing. It mainly depends on how to play it.

After thinking about it, he asked, "What is Wang Ergou's positioning in it? What role does his relationship with the heroine belong to?"

There are three protagonists in the story, Wang Ergou is one of them.

Gu Qing shook his head and said concisely: "A coward who has a thief heart but no courage."

"Well, then it's really a bit miserable to see the heroine in the story." Hu Bo pondered for a while and suggested: "If you only sing, the audience may not understand this carefully prepared story. Should you add a dance? Just like the performances of "National Love" and "Cheng Ling".

He raised his hand and gestured.

Gu Qing nodded: "I have this meaning, but time is too fast and I can't find a suitable dance team."

"Let Director Zhao help you." Hu Bo smiled and patted his shoulder, "This evening party is his work after all, and he cares more about it than anyone else. If you ask, you can ask for it, he will definitely be able to handle it."

Gu Qing was stunned, but forgot about this.

Although Director Zhao is a "hands-off manager", he doesn't let the guests do everything by themselves. As a major director in the industry, he doesn't understand the things in music, but he can listen and watch. If the dance can make the performance more beautiful, he will naturally do his best to help.

Afterwards, Gu Qing said goodbye to Hu Bo, and found Zhao Gangsheng, who was discussing things with several directors in the backstage. After a detailed communication, the other party agreed immediately and found two very experienced street dancers in just one hour.

Although there are only two people, they are very experienced and a couple. They have a lot of topics to talk about when they see Gu Qing and his wife, and they are quite talkative.

Later, Gu Qing introduced the song and the background story. Both dance teachers listened to it with relish, but when they finally asked if they could choreograph it, they waved their hands hesitantly: "It's not easy to do it."

"Dance is born with music, and every move follows the rhythm, not a story. It is very difficult for you to have a deep meaning hidden in the lyrics."

"Besides, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. No work can make the audience fully understand the meaning of the author. Everyone will have their own understanding and ideas. Maybe you wrote this song according to the story in your heart, but others listen to it, but it is another kind of understanding."

"For example, I think, from another perspective, this story is not terrifying, but instead sings some love but not getting it."

After all, he is a professional dance teacher. His words can be said to have made Gu Qing clear the sky. He meditated for a moment and did not get involved. He let the two dance teachers choreograph their free choreography according to the rhythm of the song.

This trick was learned from Zhao Gangsheng.

If you can't intervene in areas, let professionals solve them and accept the results afterwards.

Without Gu Qing's various requests, the two teachers also let go and began to arrange dances to the rhythm.

Because they are street dancers, the overall style is quite cool.

Of course, it is impossible to write a choreography in a short time. In fact, it is quite difficult because there is no finished song accompaniment for reference.

There is no way, the players who play the pipa and the erhu and the suona have not arrived yet. They have to wait until those teachers arrive before they can enter the official rehearsal with the Galaxy Band. Otherwise, it would be too inconsistent to only sing the pop music part.

In this way, time passed by, and the first day I came to CCTV was not as busy as I thought, and I was almost always doing preparations.

Shen Xiaoyan didn't even practice the songs, but pulled Gu Qing to stay at the front desk to watch the stars.

The Zhongyuan Gala invited a lot of people, such as skit actors, crosstalk actors, other singers, and even artists who are active on the big screen, and I saw a lot today.

When they saw Gu Qing and Shen Xiaoyan, some would smile and nod from the air, some would pretend not to see it, and some would come up to talk to each other.

Because I don’t know if there are people among these people who Shen Xiaoyan knows in the future, the countermeasures of the two are to remain calm.

If someone smiles at them, they will reply, and if someone comes up and talks, they will smile, um, um, ah, perfunctory.

In short, if you don’t have a deep conversation, you won’t be exposed.

Not to mention, it's quite exciting and tests acting skills.

By six o'clock in the evening, the guests at the scene were almost dispersed, and only some staff were still busy. Gu Qing and Shen Xiaoyan planned to stop staying for more, and after dinner, they went back to the hotel to rest early to prepare for tomorrow's rehearsal.

When I left, I happened to meet Hu Bo who had finished rehearsing with another singer, and the three of them went downstairs together.

"By the way, have you named your song?"

As if he remembered something, Hu Bo asked.

Gu Qing shrugged and said with his mouth down, "No, there is no suitable one."

"What's wrong? He's just a naming decree. If no one urges him, he can drag it until the day before the performance."

Shen Xiaoyan finished the blow without mercy, but Gu Qing glared at him and shrank his neck and spit out his tongue and pointed it at him.

After hearing this, Hu Bo smiled and said, "Don't show your affection, I, a single dog, can't bear it."

"But if I really don't have a name, I'd think of one."

"What?" Gu Qing asked.

"囍."
