The legend of rebirth

Chapter 117 Danqing Fan

In the second round of the last round of the new girls' finals, Long Miaoqin was the first to win the game as soon as she appeared!

Accompanied by the melodious guqin of "West Out of Yangguan", Long Miaoqin began to sing.

"West Out of Yangguan" is an ancient qin song that can be played and sung.

This form of playing the qin and singing at the same time was once the favorite music entertainment method of ancient literati and celebrities. After the Ming Dynasty, the world was influenced by the Yushan School and regarded qin songs as the most vulgar type of Guqin art. The form of playing the piano and singing has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.

It's just that today, such a simple and vulgar definition is naturally impossible to talk about. The first line of Long Miaoqin's piano song on the tower fell, making the audience silent.

This kind of silence is not a silence, but a kind of awe of the art of the ancestors.

The lyrics of this song come from the Tang Dynasty poet Du Bai. It is a Qilu, and the tune of the guqin is also the tune of the Tang Dynasty.

Today, although most people have heard the name of this song, and are also familiar with the seven rhythms as the lyrics, some audiences may even have heard the Guqin solo version of this song, but the combination of lyrics and music should be heard by no one. experienced.

Moreover, the art form of guqin is indeed relatively small today, so when this song, which has a history of more than 500 years, is performed on the stage of young girls, the audience even feels a little novel at first. .

"Is this the original tune of the libretto of "West Out of Yangguan"?" Zu Shaoyuan was a little uncertain and asked Yang Su.

"Guess?" Seeing that the picture didn't cut into this room, Yang Su easily let it go.

"This is not the original tune." Ye Luo, who had been silent all this time, said lightly after hearing the three lines of Long Miaoqin's libretto.

Zu Shaoyuan frowned slightly, and said: "The guqin music in this song was restored by a guqin master after the founding of the People's Republic of China from a family handed down piano score. Although there are guqin and seven rhythms, the singing method has been lost. Have you ever heard the singing of this song, Xiaoye?"

Ye Luo smiled and shook her head: "Of course I haven't heard of it."

"Then how do you know that the version on stage is not the original tune?"

"Because it's lost." Ye Luo blinked.

"Uh..." Zu Shaoyuan was stunned for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "It seems that I was really confused. But Lao Yang, you are not bad, you made the tune of this song very similar to that."

Yang Su's face was bright, he smiled and said nothing.

In fact, in order not to show off too much, Ye Luo didn't tell everything she knew.

After all, both Zu Shaoyuan and Yang Su are good at composing and composing popular songs, guqin, etc., and their majors are different.

Ye Luo had seen a document, from which he could tell that Long Miaoqin definitely did not follow the original tune of "West Out of Yangguan" in this song.

Because the singing of qin songs has a long historical tradition, that is, it pays attention to "rural talk and folding characters".

The so-called "township talk" is a dialect. "Folding characters" is to use pure dialect when singing, combine the "four calls opening and closing" and "four tones yin and yang" of each character in the piano song, and turn them into the sound spectrum, so that people in that area You can understand it as soon as you hear it.

Therefore, the lyrics of real ancient Qin songs are all dialects.But now Long Miaoqin sang in Mandarin on stage, that must be wrong.

However, this did not hinder the effect of the performance, and Ye Luo believed that if Long Miaoqin really sang the lost original tune, the effect would not be so good.

If the ancient dialect is sung, the audience in the audience can't understand it at all.

On the stage, Long Miaoqin has a solemn expression, the sound of the piano under his hands is rich in ancient rhyme, and his fingering is also beautiful. He has the demeanor of a master of piano art.

Ye Luo realized that she was very charming in front of the guqin and Song Yan was in front of the piano.

Long Miaoqin's singing was also very ingenious. She used a mixing technique. Her voice was floating, ethereal and elongated. It matched the deep and mellow Guqin tone in her hand. It was extremely beautiful. At least Ye Luo was fascinated by it.

After singing this piano, Deng Qi and Mai Ruina were still a little dazed, Yan Wuji raised his hands first and applauded!
The applause of the audience followed.

Immediately afterwards, the scene changed and Xiao Qiong appeared on the stage.

The chilling and cold Xiongguan gradually faded away, and an ink painting scroll slowly unfolded in front of the audience.

The lotus pods, lotus leaves, and aquatic plants are the visual effect of the multi-colored ink in the ink painting, but they are not motionless, but swaying gently with the ripples of the water.

This is the first time tonight, the contestants did not use the real background, but used a dynamic ink painting of rivers as the background.

The picture frame of this painting is the stage floor, and the camera takes a vertical perspective above the stage.

After Xiao Qiong was sent to the stage, she was dressed in traditional Chinese dance costumes, tight-fitting underwear, and a light blue tulle robe.

And in her hand, she was holding a dancing fan. Compared with ordinary folding fans, in addition to the fan bones being longer, there was also a foot-long gauze hanging from the end of the fan bones.

After she was on the stage, she slowly bent her knees and lay down flat. Looking down from the overhead angle, she could see her full body portrait.

"Old Ancestor, what do you want to play?" Yang Su looked surprised, and hurriedly asked, "This kind of overhead shooting effect does not seem so comfortable to the audience."

"There are big screens on both sides of the stage, and the audience can see the effect on the big screens." As Xiao Qiong's guidance, Zu Shaoyuan explained, and then he confirmed that the screen did not cut here, and added in a low voice : "Besides, the audience at the scene, after all, only had a thousand votes, which can be ignored."

"But today's stage has three-dimensional special effects after all." Yang Su was still puzzled, "Can't you just stand up the background?"

"I can't stand up." Zu Shaoyuan laughed.

"why?"

"Because Xiao Qiong can't fly." Zu Shaoyuan said.

"Fly?" Yang Su didn't understand, he just stared at the screen.

"Don't you think there is something missing in this ink painting?" Zu Shaoyuan reminded.

Ye Luo also looked at the picture taken from above, and saw that there were lotus pods, lotus leaves, water patterns, and water plants on it, and the colors were either black or white, a little monotonous.

Normally, such an ink painting should have bright red lotus flowers and fish and shrimp representing living things.

After all, Yang Su is an old-fashioned music producer. He has seen a lot, and immediately understood, "You mean, Xiao Qiong will use the stage as a drawing paper, and then use dance to paint on this ink painting?"

"Yes." Zu Shaoyuan said with a smile, "Tonight, Xiao Qiong's dance is not a simple folding fan dance, but "Danqing Fan". When the fan is unfolded, it is naturally a fan, but when it is closed, it is brush."

Ye Luo looked at the screen and found that it was indeed the case. Once the folding fan in Xiao Qiong's hand was put away, the fan bone was the holder of the pen, and the gauze at the end of the fan bone looked very much like the pen of a paintbrush.

On the stage, the sound of music was already playing. Unlike Long Miaoqin's Guqin just now, this time it was Guzheng - "Fishing Boat Song".

With the sound of Guzheng flowing like water, Xiao Qiong on the stage began to stretch and dance slowly.

Different from all previous dances, Xiao Qiong did not dance standing up this time, but lying down.

Xiao Qiong and Long Miaoqin, in this round of PK competition, seemed to have a tacit understanding. They both adopted the most traditional Chinese music art form, one played the guqin and the other danced the folding fan.

As for Xiao Qiong, a stunningly talented woman, dancing with a folding fan is not enough. She also dances lying down. Not only does she dance lying down, but she also wants to finish a painting by the way.

I saw her whole body stretched out, fast and slow, when the folding fan in her hand was closed, she slid across the stage casually, and there was a lotus petal or a stalk, but when the folding fan was opened, it was like a butterfly gliding among the lotus flowers. Flip in the middle.

This scene is not only beautiful, but also amazing.

Although his whole body was rolling and moving on the stage, Xiao Qiong's singing voice was still very stable.

"Green wrinkled and clear waves, the wind blows the little lotus, the lonely boat sways in the drizzle..."

This song is called "Fishing Boat Song".

Like "West Out of Yangguan", "Fishing Boat Song" also has libretto, but this song is much younger, only five years old.The lyrics were written by Lin Yang, a contemporary lyricist, and Mr. Sha Fuhai composed the music himself.Although it has an ancient rhyme, it is a modern, Chinese-style pop song.Once the song was released, it won the Golden Melody Award that year.

The novel and wonderful stage idea, coupled with such a classic song, gave Ye Luo great enjoyment both in hearing and in sight, and the whole person was mesmerized watching it.

Such a perfect performance undoubtedly made Long Miaoqin's originally excellent "West of Yangguan" pale in comparison.

This woman Xiao Qiong, as some media said, might be Chu Mo'er's biggest rival tonight!
