One Hundred and Eighty Sixth Iron Fist Transformation

"King of the Stage ()"

Realizing that he was caught saying bad things "in person", Cliff turned his head to look at Ronan, showing a flattering smile, as if trying to prove his innocence: Maxim said it just now, not me, Mr. Holmes, You know the truth, right?

Lu Yiqi also showed a smile to Cliff. The white and neat teeth can be seen in that superficial smile, which reminded Cliff of Professor Hannibal in "The Silence of the Lambs".

But immediately, Ronan returned to work.

"Cliff, and Maxim, emotions, the two of you should pay attention to the release of emotions, what does it feel like at the beginning of 'Chasing the Light'? Being in the darkest moment of distress and confusion, while being able to feel the world collapse Magnificent, so the mood has to be expressed through the melody."

Musical instruments can feel the emotions of the performers and inject them into the notes.

In the opening chapter of "Chasing the Light", the drum set must show the heaviness and magnificence of the whole world, and the whole momentum must settle down; while the keyboard and strings must be light, showing ethereal majesty, as if spreading wings to soar into the sky, allowing the audience Involuntarily have the urge to look up at the sky.

These are two kinds of textures, which put forward different requirements for the performers. Otherwise, the "architectural sense" that Ronan expects is not enough to show the layers only through arrangement.

"Your emotions need to be released, and you really feel the wantonness of opening your heart and flying freely. The flat performance has no vitality, and it is simply ruining the song. We are not dying, but still refusing to give up hope in the dark , still struggling.”

Ronan called the request in a more detailed way, obviously Maxim and Cliff's performance was unsatisfactory.

Cliff's first reaction was, "Where's Ollie?"

In normal practice, Ollie made the most mistakes, but today Ollie was not named?

"Ollie is doing very well." Ronan's voice was transmitted from the microphone to the recording room, and he could see Ollie raising his hands high and cheering, which made a smile appear in Ronan's eyes, No additional comments, just dropped a sentence, "Start from scratch."

The atmosphere in the recording room changed subtly, especially Maxim's competitive spirit was also stimulated, and it seemed that he had finally entered the recording state.

However, today's Ronan seems... not so easy to satisfy - this description is already very slight, to be precise, it should be picky, and more accurately, it should be harsh.

"Cliff, the gradual progression of strength and emotion, the first four beats, thump! thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump! The entry is light, and then the melody flows out like water, and when entering the second four-beat, the first note is thicker than the first note of the previous four-beat, but when it is pulled away, the fingertip strength Need to be lighter."

"Deng! Emotional injection! Feeling pause! Feeling withdrawn! Feeling with heart!"

"No, repeat the first four beats."

"No, do it all over again."

"wrong."

"Still wrong."

"Cliff, let's do it all over again."

Only the first two eight beats have been repeated eight times, but there is still no progress-now only Cliff is playing alone, Maxim and Ollie are watching quietly, and Ronan is also playing. Instead of recording, it was keeping Cliff practicing constantly.

Ronan's tone was always gentle and calm, not only did he not get angry, but he was also full of patience, but the sharp light in his eyes did not waver at all, like a machine, asking Cliff to practice again and again, the invisible pressure was like this Slowly build up and roll down.

Cliff also became irritable, "Detachment? What is detachment? This is a complete four beats, and there is no rest in it. How should detachment be done? How should the rhythm be controlled? Are you sure you know what you are doing? Are you sure you know what you want?"

Even with the best temper,

Repeatedly turning around in the same place will also make you irritable, not to mention that Cliff's temper is not a little sheep; moreover, Ronan has indeed established a certain professional authority within the band, but such professionalism is not impossible. The challenge cannot be overthrown——

Don't forget, just three months ago, Cliff and Maxim still held the right to speak in the band, and now the band leader is still Cliff.

As a result, Cliff frowned directly, staring at Ronan with a red face, and vented all his dissatisfaction heartily.

"How should emotions be released? Tell me! If you describe it in such detail and clarity, why don't you demonstrate it to me?"

Cliff was indeed a little annoyed, especially when Maxim and Ollie were eating melons next to him, and then he was pushed out to roast on the fire alone. He had reason to suspect that Ronan was because he chose "to be with him today." Inborn" and intentionally retaliated!

Ronan did not slap on the table and scold Cliff, but kept calm all the time, allowing Cliff to spit out all his thoughts in such a quiet manner, but the appearance of listening carefully made Cliff slowly get hairy When I woke up, it was as if... as if all my anger was accepted.

There was a slight chill down the spine.

"Okay." Waiting for Cliff to vent all his emotions, Ronan didn't say much, and simply agreed.

Cliff, "..."

In fact, Cliff didn't really want Ronan to come to demonstrate, because he himself knew what an absurd request it was.

Producers have their own ideas about the perfect music constructed in their minds, but they may not be able to present it perfectly, so producers need to guide performers to achieve their goals. The catharsis of "you do it" is a simple and rude Negative—maybe Ronan can’t do it, but it doesn’t mean Ronan doesn’t know what he’s doing. Producers have their expertise as producers, and singers and bands have their expertise. This is the meaning of division of labor and cooperation.

Cliff was just venting his impulses, and he seemed unreasonable because he couldn't do it; but in the end Ronan really agreed, and now Cliff was a little bit stuck, his words stuck in his throat, his expression Some embarrassment.

After thinking about it, Cliff really failed to find the right way. In fact, Maxim and Ollie were still a little bit behind, but their problems were not as prominent as Cliff. After all, the introduction part of "Chasing the Light" Still need keyboards and orchestra to play the leading role. Now that Ronan is asked to demonstrate, and Ronan has agreed, maybe this is a good thing——

If Ronan can't do it, then Cliff will feel more at ease; if Ronan can do it, then Cliff will be able to find a model to learn from.

Although Cliff was a little flustered, he still suppressed the urge to ask Maxim and Ollie for help, and watched as Ronan walked into the recording room.
