Chapter 1168

"... yes, style and rhythm are different. In addition to music arrangement, I'm thinking about rewriting the music score in the way of voice parts. Marcus and I have two voice parts with different scales... "

"Then, the magnificent effect of overlapping voice parts will be created to increase the lightness and reverberation of the song style."

"Yes, that's it."

"That's a good idea. The two parts can be recorded separately."

"If so, why don't the two parts use two instruments?"

"Isn't that too cumbersome? The core meaning of this song lies in its simplicity. It presents a kind of natural and unrestrained lightness. If the arrangement is too complicated, it is easy to become gorgeous, which is far from the style of the 1960s. "

"No, it won't. We can use the banjo as the second part and play it with the same score. We can complete the style change and overlap through the characteristics of the instrument. You should know that the banjo is lighter, more transparent and clearer. We just need to lower the volume of the second part and then use the guitar as the main part. The whole style will be... "

"No, no, you don't understand me. The music style of Levine and Mickey is simple and pure, which is what they always insist on. The original appearance of ballads in the 1960s. "

"I understand. But I mean, when two people sing duets, the style is richer and fuller. When you sing alone, the style is thinner, but also more vicissitudes and desolation. Banjo was widely used and unique in the 1960s. Strictly speaking, only folk geeks would use it at that time. On the contrary, I felt that it could highlight Levine's musical features more... Well, wait for me. "

With that, Marcus gave up his plan to continue explaining and simply stood up and walked towards the corner where there was a banjo and many other instruments.

Justin just sat down, but no one noticed him.

In front of us, lanli, Marcus and Ben are arguing with each other. The intensive discussion between you and me can't keep up with the pace. Even Ben can only cut in one or two sentences occasionally. More importantly, lanli and Marcus share their opinions with each other.

In the bustling atmosphere, only Ben noticed the appearance of others, but his eyes glanced without too much expression, and then fell on Langley and Marcus again. Justin can also feel the surge of discussion enthusiasm, he does not want to interrupt, just sit by in silence, listening.

Marcus picked up the banjo, came back again, sat down quickly, and said to lenley, "so we can play it now, and feel the whole style and effect. If it's not appropriate, I won't insist. You play the first part on the wooden guitar, and I play the second part on the banjo. "

Lenley didn't refuse.

With his guitar in his arms, Langley played an eight beat, "I play this tune? Are you lowering the tone? Or am I going up? "

"I'm lowering the tone. Banjo is a subsidiary part, it can't take away the original style of songs. " Marcus said dryly.

Without any nonsense, the two started playing.

The tacit understanding of the first performance was not in tune. Langley grabbed a quarter of the time, while Marcus fell behind a quarter of the time. As soon as he went in and out, there was a dislocation of half the time, which made his voice a little harsh; The second time, Langley played an eight beat, and then Marcus cut in. The whole effect was much better.

"Wave goodbye" is exactly the song that Lan Li sang when the crew met in Pioneer Village on the first day.

The first part is the wooden guitar, and the second part is the banjo. The overlapping of two different instruments has no sense of disobedience, but it increases the thickness and level of the melody. The melody suddenly becomes rich, and the curling rhyme becomes light.

After the second performance, Marcus put forward his opinion again, "I should play the main part lighter, but I can adjust it later."; But for the chorus part, I think we should reduce the performance of the acoustic guitar and enhance the banjo part, so that the style of the whole song will become more prominent. "

This time, Langley did not retort, "I'll try to sing. Do you want to add your second voice? Let's have a look at the effect of the chorus. I'll lead the main song and you will lead the chorus

"No problem. You cut in, I'll do the harmony, and then to the chorus, we'll change the strength and see the overall effect. " Marcus is also a simple, compared with the language confrontation, it is better to explore the most appropriate choice through practice.

So the third performance began.

"If I can spread my wings like Noah's dove, I will cross the river and seek my true love. Wave goodbye, my love, take care of it. In my heart, there is a giant, tall and majestic, vigorous, like a shell. Wave goodbye, my love. Take care of it

Lanli hummed softly, while Marcus cut into it with a relatively stable harmony. The gentle and mellow voice interweaved in the strings of the wooden guitar and banjo, burst out a kind of free and easy, unrestrained and casual. It was clearly a song of parting, but it could not help but burst out a smile in the sadness.

But Justin has not had time to further experience, melody and singing is interrupted.

"No, I can't." Both lenley and Marcus shook their heads in denial.

"It's too complicated. It completely loses its original flavor." Lanli said his opinion, "the biggest reason is that the way of composing music in the 1960s is different from that in the present. Now there are differences between the main song, the chorus and the Qiaoduan, but in the past these differences were not so obvious. " The song "wave goodbye" is a typical example

Marcus nodded and agreed, "otherwise, the whole process will be mainly based on the wooden guitar, and your singing will be the first part, and then the banjo will be the main part in the bridge section, and the rhythm will be accelerated to create the sense of jumping in the turbulent water, which will emphasize the expectation and joy of parting and embracing the future."

"Try it." Lan Li also said directly.

No nonsense, once again cut into the singing, and then after four eight beat, the melody of Qiaoduan began to fly up.

Marcus's character is more outspoken. He deliberately makes exaggerated faces and works with his performance as if his eyebrows are dancing; But lanli is more introverted, but the joy of the fundus is still flowing out, and the rhythm of the strings outlined by the fingertips becomes lighter.

But at the end of the performance, Marcus and Langley hit a snap finger at the same time. A simple action, but completed all the communication.

Ben, who kept silent all the time, joined the topic at the right time, "is the rhythm and arrangement so determined? Does Marcus have any additional comments? "

"Do you have any particular ideas?" It was Lan Li who spoke, because the adaptation of the current version was completed by Lan Li.

He didn't mean to brag, but because he didn't spend too much time polishing himself when he was adapting. He completed all his creations by relying on the intuition of a character. If other people can put forward their opinions now, he is willing to open up all kinds of possibilities and have a good discussion.

"No special comments. I just think that after joining the banjo, the style of the whole song will be closer to 500 miles, but for Levine, he refuses to be diversified and changeable, and stubbornly sticks to the most primitive folk style. " Ben was keen to capture the details. "Just now, you mentioned this, so I'm worried about whether it doesn't match Levine's personality."

The reason why Ben was able to climb the peak of his career in the film soundtrack is that he has his own unique views on the combination of story, role and background. Maybe he's not an actor, but he knows how to read stories.

After that, Ben looked at Marcus and further explained, "there's no problem with the adapted version of Marcus, and there's no problem with the duet, but Marcus' style is closer to modern times, and the original style of Langley is closer to the 1960s. The question now is whether we should build this soundtrack from the perspective of the 1960s or the ballads of the 1960s from the perspective of the present. "

Marcus understood immediately, but he didn't argue. Instead, he raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender. "I'm just a singer. I don't have any understanding of performance and film. I just think that this kind of arrangement can distinguish Levine from Mickey's style, and mix them up in a duet way. But in the end, we need to ask Levine what he means

The sight fell on Lan Li one after another.

Instead of rushing to answer, Langley thought for a moment, "this is really what I was worried about."

"But what's interesting is that I discussed with Joel and Ethan that the role of Mickey is very special. He chose a tragic way to end his life, but what led to his choice? No one knows except Mickey. "

"We made a small change to Mickey's character."

Although it's a musical creation, it's closely related to the film and the role. Therefore, lenley needs to let Ben and Marcus have a better understanding of the role. "In addition to waving goodbye, he will also participate in the performance of the ancient trio. This song is the work of Mickey and Jim. Does this mean that in the face of the dilemma of his dream, Mickey also began to waver and made a different choice from Levine, he made a different attempt

"It's also possible that Mickey had already made different attempts when he recorded the song" wave goodbye. ". What if the creative process of Marcus and I was the creative process of Levine and Mickey? Is this becoming more real? Justin, what do you think? "

Justin, who has been listening in, suddenly has a question mark on his head, "me?"
