don't call me singer

Chapter 1884 It's time again for historians to drop their jaws
Purely from the aspect of music audience, Gu Xiaobai has a large number of fans, and the composition is also very complicated.

Because the music he makes is very complicated, it seems that as long as it is music, he is willing to make and try;

In his eyes, there seems to be no distinction between high and low in music.

In his music, there are "Song, Dance, Poetry", which combines Chinese classical music and modern music to the peak, which can be called the resurrection of living fossils of music; The restoration of ancient songs; there is "Zheng Ming Sword Flashing Luoyang City", which breaks through the existing musical instruments and performance methods, and even sounds painful; there is "Riding the Wind and Waves Trilogy", which can change the world pattern; On the basis of it, the film soundtrack of "Badaka" was carried out; there were even finale electronic sounds "Break the Boundary" and "Serenity" at the electronic syllable festival; Cool" is a song for all ages, even kindergarten kids can learn it.

Everyone from the 80-year-old to the babbling child may all like his music.

Walking on the main road, I can hear the retired man walking by the side of the road, playing his "Shengshi Taiping"; the guy delivering the courier, humming his "Champion Overture"; The young man played his "Break the Boundary"; the children who came back from the kindergarten were singing "Meow is Cool" and dancing the cat's claw; In the Conservatory of Music, countless people are playing and studying his pieces.

It can be said that almost every class of people, from professionals to construction site uncles, can find something they are interested in in Gu Xiaobai's music.

The aesthetics of music is often positively related to economic conditions and academic qualifications. After Gu Xiaobai's interest turned to instrumental music, a group of people above the middle class who stick to their own style and who were a bit repulsive to Gu Xiaobai also joined the group. Gu Xiaobai's fan group.

But even with such a wide range, the cultural core of Gu Xiaobai's music has always been Chinese classical music, pure, the kind of classical music that seems to have come out of history; even in Gu Xiaobai's music, Many western musical instruments, national musical instruments of other countries, and even modes and other musical elements of other countries are used, but when used in Gu Xiaobai's music, they are all covered with Gu Xiaobai's color, and other people's In the song, the colors are completely different.

As soon as I heard it, it was Gu Xiaobai's music.

The same is true for the previous first movement "Farewell". Although it is a duet of erhu and violin, I don't know whether it is the reason of the music itself, or Gu Xiaobai's erhu is really brilliant, and it still has a strong Chinese classical style.

But after entering the second movement "Pursuit", the style of the music began to transfer to Western classical music.

And this tour of "King of the Ice Field", due to the short schedule and high travel costs, even the performance program is not sure, it is basically a "blind box concert", so most of the people who come are actually A group with higher income, higher class, and stronger ability to resist risks.

Quite a few of them have a certain aesthetic for classical music. Although they may not be as sensitive as professionals, they can feel that something is different.

This kind of clear and slow change is fascinating.

As soon as the second movement "Pursuit" opened, only the erhu sounded.

This is still a typical Chinese erhu playing technique. The timbre of the erhu in Gu Xiaobai's hands has been deliberately controlled to be dry and dull.

Like a lonely traveler, walking on the desolate and dead land.

The lonely melody sounded in the still dim scene, and then the timbre gradually became full, three-dimensional and rich.

The overall feeling has also changed from desolation to desolation, from death to loneliness.

That feeling is like a person slowly walking out of the faint mist.

From a faint outline, he gradually plumped up, his body shape, clothing, gait, appearance...

Just a piece of melody, a change of timbre, it seems that there is an image of a person jumping out!

He came here alone in the world, not knowing where he came from, nor where he was going.

His steps were firm and tired, his eyes were bloodshot, but he still looked into the distance.

The wind can blow his clothes, but it can't change his direction.

The timbre changed from weak to rich, and suddenly, this richness leaped forward again, and the timbre was so rich and layered that it instantly filled people's ears.

And at this moment, behind Gu Xiaobai, the dozen or so violinists raised their bows neatly, and an atmospheric string group sounded, like a picture scroll slowly unfolding.

And at this moment, behind Gu Xiaobai, a beam of light suddenly lit up.

A figure more than ten meters tall suddenly appeared in front of everyone!
"Wow!!!"

The audience at the scene almost subconsciously exclaimed.

This figure seemed to be projected on the faint mist in the void by some kind of technology. This kind of technology has been a common sight in Gu Xiaobai's concert.

But the sudden appearance of the figure still surprised the audience.

Because the timing of its appearance is really ingenious.

Before that, the entire first movement "Farewell" did not have the slightest light and shadow or stage effects, only pure music.

This gave everyone an illusion, as if this was a pure concert, and nothing would interfere with everyone's enjoyment of the music.

But at this time, there are lights and shadows appearing.

And under the foreshadowing of Gu Xiaobai's changing timbre, a looming image of walking alone on the wasteland emerged in everyone's mind.

And the suddenly rich timbre, coupled with the sudden appearance of the figure, seems to be the looming image, breaking through a non-existing dimensional wall, jumping out of everyone's mind!
that's it!
That's what I thought of him!

The audience at the scene even felt that this image was extracted from their own brains.

There is no other possibility!
The figure that appeared on the stage was obviously a boy.

He was wearing simple and even dirty clothes, many places were torn, exposing his skin.The same shabby cloth wrapped a musical instrument behind him, judging from its shape, it was an erhu!
And the face that was almost similar to Gu Xiaobai was full of wind and frost, and he was looking up at the distance, walking forward step by step.

Beside him, the scenery is also changing, step by step backwards.

The first theme of the second movement "Pursuit", "Walker"!
Lone traveler!
The weather-beaten but firm walker is projected on the stage. Its center is just a little behind Gu Xiaobai's body. Looking from the stand, the boy who is pulling the erhu, with his eyes slightly closed, is playing ecstatically. with.And behind him, there is a figure similar to his appearance, but magnified more than ten times.

It's like a teenager projecting his soul out.

How can this scene not be shocking!
Escobar was still immersed in unspeakable shock and joy.

The performance just now allowed him to break through a certain barrier under the extreme pressure and Gu Xiaobai's "teaching", and for the first time integrated Gu Xiaobai's special playing style into his own performance system inside.

Just after the breakthrough, the sense of novelty, power and control of everything made him so excited that he wanted to stand up and scream.

While eagerly adjusting his bow, he waited for Gu Xiaobai to play until the moment he was about to join.

Hey, I can surpass you this time!

Come, come, let's make gestures again!
Just like a rebellious apprentice, after learning the master's unique skill of pressing the bottom of the box, he can't wait to put the master's caisson immediately.

Then he heard Gu Xiaobai's erhu, and the tone changed drastically.

For others, this drastic change in tone was far less shocking than the light and shadow that suddenly appeared behind Gu Xiaobai.

But for Escobar, it was like a rebel who learned the master's unique skill of pressing the bottom of the box, and just planned to betray the master, and found out that his master still had seventy or eighty boxes!
wrong!

The tone is different!

The music played now is completely different from the previous timbre!
Two strings, but three different string tones!

This is not Sanxian!Where are the three different timbres?

This kind of color change, how could it be said to change?
This is not a timbre change that techniques can do.

The only way to make this change is to change the strings.

But... change the strings! ? ?
How could Gu Xiaobai change the strings during the performance?

This is impossible!
Escobar looked over in shock.

Around Gu Xiaobai, there is a phantom, which is the light and shadow of a walking traveler.

But through this light and shadow, Escobar still saw the erhu in Gu Xiaobai's hand, the thick string seemed to be different from before.

Yingying blue light shrouded it, as if the string itself would glow.

Really... change the strings?

Or is there some mechanism on Gu Xiaobai's erhu that can change the tone to such an impossible degree?

Of course he didn't know that the string in Gu Xiaobai's hand was the "Empire's Destiny String", a system-rewarded string with special attributes, good at expressing melancholy and desolation, thick and majestic music, and it had a profound effect on the territory of Russia and its surrounding areas. Bordering the country boosts the strings for influence and appeal.

At that moment just now, Gu Xiaobai used this string to replace the thick inner string of the erhu.

If not, even Gu Xiaobai would not be able to achieve this change in timbre.

Escobar, who was staring at Gu Xiaobai in a daze, suddenly saw Gu Xiaobai glaring at him.

The look made Escobar almost jump.

It's like the apprentice who plotted against the law was discovered by the master.

What is Xiaobai staring at me for?

Did he know what I just thought?
no no no no...

Whoops, it's my turn!

Escobar dragged for half a beat, and the sound of the violin sounded.

If it is said that the string group of more than ten violinists in the rear just painted a blurry picture around the "Walker", and could only vaguely see desolation, loneliness, darkness, and cold, then when When Escobar entered, the picture suddenly became clear.

Beside the "Walker", the picture began to expand.

It's like a scroll slowly unfolding.

This way of unfolding is very Chinese, but what appears is a western city.

Ports, stone buildings, ships, castles...

Riga 300 years ago is slowly unfolding.

The biggest difference between Eastern and Western architecture is the difference in commonly used materials.

Unlike the wood used in the East, many buildings in the West are made of stone.

As long as this kind of building is maintained properly, its life span is almost unlimited.

300 years later, there are still many old buildings in Riga City, and the proportion of ancient buildings is much higher than that in the East.

Therefore, when some iconic buildings appeared one after another, someone had already recognized the scene in that picture.

"Riga!"

"It's Riga!"

Many people have been to the ancient city of Riga, but here is different from that ancient city.

The Swedish Gate has not yet been built, the stone pavement is brand new, and the cathedral is still the same as it was before the last renovation...

Seeing this picture, someone let out a "ha" in their hearts.

coming!

Xiaobai is going to give historians another job!
Every performance of Gu Xiaobai has different music.

But the music is often not the only part worthy of attention.

History, humanities, society, technology...

All kinds of things will be reflected in Gu Xiaobai's performance.

For example, every MV by Gu Xiaobai that involves history will cause crazy discussions in the history circle.

Just like "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival", it perfectly shows the scene of the city at that time, and even the most sophisticated restorers cannot restore this kind of picture.

This is also one of Gu Xiaobai's unsolved mysteries.

How did his MV come out?

Many people even use Gu Xiaobai's video as an argument for historical research, treating Gu Xiaobai's video as if it were a professional paper.

It's not that no one tried to prove Gu Xiaobai wrong, but in the end they all proved themselves wrong.

No matter how partial or tiny details they dig.

Of course, the appearance of an ancient city is nothing to Gu Xiaobai at all.

The real bullshit is...

In that city, citizens, pedestrians, merchants, chariots, sailors, goods, soldiers, officials, nobles...

All kinds of figures emerged one by one beside the lonely traveler.

They just floated above the stands, in the faint mist, translucent people, all kinds of colors.

In the stands, the spectators stretched out their hands, wanting to touch their bodies, but they only penetrated the faint mist and let the faint light hit their hands.

Even if you listen carefully, you can hear them speaking different words and talking about different things.

Each of them dresses differently, has different features, speaks a different dialect...

It's so real that it's not like a video, but like being in a ghost hundreds of years ago.

And among so many people, the traveler was still walking forward alone.

Because of the crowds, there was no one I was looking for.

So more lonely.
