Chapter 140 Battle of the King of Songs
On April 4th, Mango Channel, the live broadcast of "I Am a Singer" Singer Contest:
"Good evening, everyone." Dressed in black suits, He Jiong and Wang Han, the head hosts of Mango TV, looked particularly energetic.

"This is the live broadcast of the "I Am a Singer" program "I Am a Singer" sponsored by XX Laundry Detergent..."

"After twelve rounds of competition..."

"The acoustics here are so good today, I want to have a cross talk with Wang Han here..."

"Shouldn't it be singing a song..."

"My scoring standard is that the semi-final results account for 40%..."

"First of all, we are going to start the first round of the battle of singers, the singing part of the singer..."

"The first singer to appear tonight is also the first singer to appear in our semi-finals. He is also our good friend, a rock elf..."

At this time, the band on the stage began to enter the arena. The [-] public judges sitting in the audience were surprised to find that in addition to the normal accompaniment of Western musical instruments, there were five other people on the stage wearing buttoned jackets, bloomers, and tied at the waist. The musicians dressed as peasants in northern Shaanxi with big cloth belts hold different accompaniment instruments. The one among the five holds a hexagonal musical instrument similar to a pipa, and the two sitting on the floor each hold an erhu, which is similar to but large in size. Number one is a stringed instrument, and the other two are holding a gong, and the other is sitting on a long wooden bench holding a pair of clappers.

"The man in front of me dressed as an uncle from northern Shaanxi is the guest singer invited by Ms. Tan Weiwei, our first singer. Don't look at his old-fashioned dress. In fact, he is only in his 20s. Let me tell you about a few songs. You must have heard "Young Master Going North", "Confession Balloon", "Time Boils the Rain", and Tan Weiwei's first performance of "30-year-old Woman" are all produced by him."

"He is the music talent who turned out this year—Shen Fang." All the audience present and the audience in front of the TV were surprised when He Jiong introduced Shen Fang.

"Shen Fang, we have met a few times, can you tell me what song you are preparing today? How do I see that the uncle behind moved a wooden bench and came up." Wang Han asked

"Hi everyone, I'm Shen Fang." Shen Fang, who was holding the topic, bowed to the camera: "The song we will bring to you today can be regarded as the oldest rock and roll in our country: Huayin old tune, everyone sees I don’t have this instrument in my hand. It’s Yueqin, which has a history of more than 1000 years. The teachers behind me use the most traditional instruments. For example, Teacher Zhang uses jujube wood to beat a stool. Although we are different from Western musical instrument, but it will definitely have a different flavor, the specific effect, we can wait and see."

"Oh, the first rock, it sounds really exciting. Then we will hand over the stage to Shen Fang and Tan Weiwei. What they brought us is "Give You a Little Color"."

"Hey, just to give you some color to see..."

When the two hosts left the stage, Shen Fang nodded slightly to Tan who hadn't appeared on the stage at the edge of the stage, and then nodded to the two teachers who were pulling the banhu next to him. The lights on the stage began to change, and the two teachers who had gone through several rehearsals Instant joy:

"His uncle, (hi) his second uncle (hi), both are his uncles

The high tables and low benches are all wood, hey... (hi)"

Shen Fang's high-pitched voice instantly amazed the whole audience and the audience in front of the TV.

"Qin Opera!" Several members of the expert jury looked at each other and showed surprises in unison, not only for the new style of music, but also for Shen Fang's ability to combine Qin Opera and modern rock music.

This is Tan Weiwei, wearing a black and white simple suit, and holding a small "cymbal" from a traditional musical instrument and coming to the stage.She gently held the small cymbal in her hand, and suddenly waved her arms, and the sound of the cymbal burst out. All the artists roared in response, and instantly pulled people into the prehistoric world. The air seemed to be filled with the breath of loess.

"Nuwa Empress made up for the sky
The remaining piece of stone becomes Huashan
Birds fly with the sun on their backs
fly east to west

......"

If Shen Fang's voice made the audience aware of the high-pitched Qin opera, a traditional Chinese repertoire, seamlessly combining the sadness and vicissitudes of loess rock with modern musical instruments; then Tan Weiwei's voice shocked the audience even more.

"The Empress Nvwa mended the sky", like fire and light, she sang about the blood of the Yellow Earth, about the greatness of the sky and the greatness of the earth, and the greatest ancestor.Then the tone changed, "The remaining stone is Mount Hua", soft and gentle.Yi Yun: Dryness is the sky, and Kun is the earth.The momentum is so great that it runs through the sky and the earth, and the yin and yang are inherited.However, at the moment of staring, "the bird flies with its back to the sun" suddenly flew into the sky like a spark, and then a thunder exploded in midair. The voice is so heroic and bloody.

"Piece by piece, the dolls walk on the plateau
Hey... hi..."

Shen Fang finished with several teachers of Qin Opera, and Teacher Zhang, who was holding a stool, stood up the stool excitedly.

The final ending made all the [-] public judges on the scene stand up, and several expert judges also shouted loudly, instantly shaking the audience.

"Wow, it's indeed the oldest rock and roll in China. The moment this Qin Opera comes out, it instantly gives people goosebumps."

"Everyone can sit down. The three-hour live broadcast still saves your throat. We can also see that the teachers are very cool after performing. Come on, let's give you another round of applause."

"The singer we are going to be on stage next is..." When He Jiong on stage was introducing the next singer, Wang Han in the audience stopped Tan Weiwei, Shen Fang and several teachers of Qin Opera, and made a simple interview.

"Wei Wei, why did you choose to sing such a song, how should I put it, such an alternative rock song. Shen Fang, please forgive me for using the word alternative." Wang Han and Shen Fang met several times during rehearsals, and there was no depth. I have chatted with him, and I know that he is a talented music creator, but I didn't expect him to bring such an unprecedented song.

"When I knew that I could enter the finals, I found Shen Fang. At that time, he asked me, what song would you like to sing in the finals, and I said that I wanted to become a blockbuster." Tan Weiwei still had the excitement of the performance on his face: "When When he took out this song, I was stunned. How to sing it? How did the accompaniment come from? Later, he took me to find Professor Jin from the Conservatory of Music, and then contacted these teachers of Qin Opera, which led to this cooperation. "

"The origin of this song is quite strange. Wei Wei told me that she wanted to sing a different song, which became a blockbuster. I remembered our country's traditional folk art—Qin Opera." Shen Fang introduced several teachers next to him to the camera. "These are the first batch of inheritors of our country's intangible cultural heritage. I visited them with my tutor when I was in school. The impulse to spread to the world has finally taken its first step today with the help of the stage of Mango TV.”

"Thank you, Wei Wei, and thank you to the teachers. I look forward to your next performance, Wei Wei, to be even more exciting."

Shen Fang came to the backstage with a few teachers, and they were very excited to perform on stage today. After all, being able to promote Qin Opera on Mango TV's "I Am a Singer", the number one program in the country, is a wish fulfilled.

"Teachers, go back after playing in Hunan Province for a few days. I'll arrange someone to take you to have fun." Shen Fang is very grateful to the masters for coming to help, otherwise his repertoire really wouldn't be able to hold up .

"Xiao Shen, you don't need to be so busy. We will go back tomorrow. We have been out for a few days, and the farm work in the field is almost delayed." Teacher Zhang Quansi, who used the jujube wooden stool to beat the beat, was them. The head of several people is also the oldest one among them.

Several teachers shared this opinion, and Shen Fang could not dissuade him.Shen Fang stretched out his hand to recruit Zhou Qi, who was following him today, and took out a few envelopes from the bag that Zhou Qi handed over: "Mr. Zhang, since you and the teachers don't want to stay longer, I won't force you to stay." You, come to Yanjing when you are free, I am entertaining you well. You take this, it is the performance fee of several teachers."

"Xiao Shen, it's unacceptable. You can think of it as a great help to us by promoting our Huayin old tune. How can we charge you for the fee?"

"Teacher Zhang, listen to me, without your help, there would be no performance this time, and there would be no amazing performance tonight, so if you don't charge this fee, then I won't have the face to ask for more money in the future." teacher."

After repeated evasions several times, several teachers reluctantly accepted the money, 2 yuan each, which can be regarded as a little bit of Shen Fang's kindness.Shen Fang arranged for Zhou Qi to send several teachers back to the hotel. The subsequent performances were basically pop music, which was not very attractive to them. They might as well go back to the hotel to have a drink and watch TV.
