Chapter 194
The musical instruments and equipment purchased at the beginning were all delineated by Li Qian in the end, so of course he knows what musical instruments are currently available in the studio. Pushing open the door of a practice room and looking around, he saw that there were only two guitars and a piano, so he had to ask He Runqing to wait a while, and at the same time asked Qi Jie to open the key of the musical instrument library, and picked out an African drum by himself. .
Well, the Jinbei drum, a representative instrument of the Mandin culture in West Africa.
Li Qian is not very familiar with this musical instrument, but at least he played it for a while in his previous life. He probably is new to it now, but if he gets familiar with it, he should be able to make do with it.
And most importantly, Li Qian felt that using this drum to accompany "The Lady" was a perfect match.
Then, He Runqing stared dumbfounded at Li Qian putting the golden shell drum away, and moved the stool to sit down. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Generally speaking, people who play music generally know at least a few instruments. The most basic ones, such as the piano, such as the guitar, you may not be very good at, but at least you must be able to play a certain instrument. For a particularly good person, it is also very appropriate to say that he knows everything. Like Li Qian, he played the guitar well in his previous life, but drums and bass can only be regarded as beginners. In addition, he can at least know about seven or more instruments. It is not proficient in eight styles, but it is no problem to use them as a show for two paragraphs.
In this life, he even learned Suona and Matouqin again. Of course, at present, the level is very low, barely at the level that is not ugly, but you must know that he has only learned it for a few days. For a layman of musical instruments, these people in the music circle learn new instruments The speed is estimated to be able to shock the jaws of the ground.
However, even though He Runqing has been in the entertainment industry for ten years, it is not uncommon for her to have seen African drums before, but she still did not expect that at such a young age, Li Qian would still be able to play this kind of drum. instrument!
After a while, she came back to her senses and sat quietly.
The two scores were spread out, Li Qian's hands kept beating on the drum, unable to form a tune, but He Runqing knew that he was probably getting familiar with the drum, looking for the rhythm, or...
After all, this song has just been written, and he is probably thinking about how to accompany it?
You know, rap is very rhythmic, and if it is separated from the accompaniment, it will lose at least half of its color-this is also in sharp contrast to the sweet songs that He Runqing is good at. Sweet songs happen to belong to the kind of music that sounds good even without accompaniment.
After about three to five minutes, Li Qian seemed to have found the right rhythm.
Then, the drums began to sound, with a strange rhythm!
Then, Li Qian started to sing, and he sang section B first——
"My lady, my lady still picks a willow every day. There you are, waiting for me silently at the river mouth outside the village. My lady still picks a willow every day. There you are, waiting silently by the stream outside the village." ...Lady!"
Accompanied by his voice and the strange drumbeat, He Runqing's eyes widened in an instant.
Can you really sing like this?
Li Qian's eyes were half-opened and half-closed, his shoulders kept shaking, and there was a strong charm in the strange rap rhythm, which made He Runqing, who had been singing for ten years, immediately caught him in this song. emotions.
Moreover, at least to He Runqing's ears, his drumming, accompanied by the singing, the lyrics, and the tune, are simply coquettish...
"A pot of good wine, and a bowl of hot porridge, with a few catties of beef, I said, waiter, is three taels of silver enough?
The scenery is in autumn, the sky is full of yellow sand, there are many people in the inns in Saibei, is there any pasture, my horse is a little thin.
..."
Is this rap?
It's rap, no doubt about it!
But...but why does it feel so weird?
He Runqing frowned.
It has to be said that Li Qian's singing is very enjoyable, and it has a completely different taste from the raps of those American singers she heard in the past-this song can even be understood as Chinese style!
That kind of strong nostalgia, that kind of strong sense of foreign land in the tunes, lyrics, and vocals are absolutely authentic Chinese flavors!
This is... Chinese rap!
After a while, when He Runqing finally figured out these things in his mind, he even had to give his song a new name in order to accurately interpret the brand-new rap style displayed by Li Qian!
Then, um, I have to say, after thinking of this name, she immediately felt that her thinking was much smoother!
That's right, this is definitely not a copy of the European and American rap style, this is rap that has been localized in China!
So, of course it is Chinese rap!
At this moment, she stared at Li Qian with wide-eyed eyes, unwilling to part with it at all, or simply forgot to look away, just wishing to see every beat of his drum, every opening and closing of his lips clearly. , All in mind!
Frankly speaking, even if Li Qian has already demonstrated to her, and it is such a wonderful demonstration, but if she is asked to sing, she will still frown, and still can only say: Sorry, I can't sing this! However, as a singer with top strength and top vision, she had to admit that at least at this moment, she was really moved by this song!
Who said rap can only be played by Americans?
Who said that the Chinese are not good at playing this kind of Western stuff at all?
And who said that things like rap have no future in China?
You can shut up now!
... ... ...
In three minutes, Li Qian's drumming stopped.
Then, he raised his head to look at He Runqing, smiled, and said, "Sister Runqing, I just laughed."
But at this moment, He Runqing didn't have the slightest intention of "joking" on her face, her face was calm, even a little solemn, and then she slowly started to applaud.
Frankly speaking, since "Liao Liao" was released, works including "Perseverance" and "Wild Flower" began to be sung in the domestic music scene, and the name Li Qian quickly entered the sight of domestic musicians, and after that, his A series of works have achieved success one after another, and he is also recognized as a pioneering and innovative musical talent in the music circle.
It was him who really opened up a feasible path for urban love songs after Zhou Mo!
It was him who wrote and popularized the first youthful song in the domestic music scene in the true sense!
It is him who wrote such an elegant and touching work as "Farewell", which is enough to sing for a hundred years!
It is still him, with his unique style of music and lyrics, which is recognized by most people in the industry, and these works of his can be collectively referred to as Chinese style!
Such a person is certainly worthy of admiration!
His talent, especially the pioneering nature of his talent, is not just a simple matter of popularizing Liao Liao or Wu Xing Wu Su, but more importantly, his appearance, the appearance of a series of his works, greatly It has enriched the types of music in the domestic pop music scene, and greatly expanded the breadth and breadth of the domestic pop music scene!
To be honest, these alone are enough to make most people in this circle admire him.
In fact, it was precisely because of his achievements in the past year that He Runqing would rather pay out of his own pocket to buy out the contract and sign to Li Qian's studio.
However, when she watched Li Qian write such a song in front of her, and then sang it in person...in less than an hour, she once again deeply understood that she had underestimated him before!
His talent and energy are not just Chinese style or urban love songs!
He can even play rap, which is still so small in China and has only flourished in foreign countries for a few years, so well, and he has already played rap, a foreign music form, with a Chinese flavor. Became a Chinese style!
Based on this, it is already worth ten minutes of applause!
Based on this, if He Runqing still had such an inexplicable pride in his heart just now, at least in front of Li Qian, that pride has basically disappeared.
... ... ...
Li Qian smiled and waved at her, signaling that there is no need to applaud.
But He Runqing still insisted on applauding, and after more than a minute, she finally stopped, with a serious face and a correct expression, and said: "Young Master Qian, thank you for your music and songs. Today, I feel that I have known you again. You! And now, I am even more determined to sign to your studio!"
Li Qian smiled, picked up the score in front of him, and said, "I'll play drums for you, try?"
He Runqing shook her head with a smile, and said sincerely: "If it was just now, I might feel embarrassed to say that I can't sing, but now, after listening to your performance just now, I want to say that I really can't sing now. !"
After a pause, she hurriedly said again: "But, Qian Shao, give me some time, believe me, I will learn this song! I still say that, as long as you are willing to sign me, what do you say, I will That's it, I will sing as you say! If you think singing this kind of Chinese style rap can make me succeed in transformation, then I will learn it! I don't know it now, but I can learn it! Believe it I!"
Li Qian was a little surprised when he heard this.
To be honest, even in his own heart, he felt that asking He Runqing to sing rap was a little out of tune and a little difficult, even if he wanted to change, there was no way to change it.
To put it bluntly, it's just a knock!
If He Runqing can accept even this, then there is no doubt that she will have no problem with other styles that are so different from her style, and Li Qian will naturally be more confident in helping her transform. And if she can't accept this at all... well, this is just the best excuse to refuse.
But now, He Runqing's attitude is actually like this!
She doesn't push back, she doesn't push back, she doesn't back down.
Her words are even so simple that there is only one sentence left: I can't, but I can learn!
With her talent and this attitude, what else wouldn't work?
Li Qian pursed his lips, then nodded, bowed his head for a moment, raised his head with a smile, and said slowly: "Sister Runqing, after what I just said, I still decide to... um, haha, sign you! "
He Runqing was stunned when he heard this.
