Chapter 653: Bell and Flute Concerto, "Return the Sword and the Dragon"!
On the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake, under the stage, the audience took their seats one after another.
Gu Xiaobai sat in the middle of the third row, and on his left was the president of the Vietnamese Music Association, a very thin and small Vietnamese man.
To the right of Gu Xiaobai are several people from 306, as well as Fu Wenyao, who did not list his name, but felt that he must be "waiting", and Hua Minyu and Wen Xiaowen, who also did not list their names, but felt that they were "women", and several other people who were not invited, but felt that they should have a place, etc.
The invitation letter given to Gu Xiaobai by the Vietnam Music Association did not limit the number of people, in fact, the entire third row, except for a few persons in charge of the Music Association, was reserved for Gu Xiaobai, and it was also full.
Wang Dawen was also there, he looked left and right, and suddenly saw Pei Guangrong sitting in the front row, and immediately said hello with a smile.
Pei Guangrong saw Wang Dawen, and his ugly face, which was originally smiling, suddenly stiffened, and his expression was a little unnatural.
Recently, Pei Guangrong has been caught in a moral dilemma.
That is, cheating in a dream...... Is it cheating?
Should he confess to his wife, in his dream, there are several concubines, and many palace maids, he can take what he wants?
It's a really nourishing day.
But he also read history, and his little life didn't last long......
Because Li Li lived to be 49 years old!
Thinking of this, Pei Guangrong sighed wistfully.
On the other side, Hao Fanbai was directing many people who seemed to be quite capable, busy by the lake.
They moved a lot of empty boxes, large and small, around, pretending to install something.
This is preparing for Gu Xiaobai's performance later.
This time Gu Xiaobai's performance will use a lot of system reward props, these things are not as easy to disguise as in China, but the stage equipment in Vietnam is too simple, and it is impossible to achieve so many cool effects.
But when the time comes, you have to find a way to prevaricate.
Recently, Hao Fanbai felt that he had been doing this kind of thing all day long, and the court orchestra of Qi had long been accustomed to being busy in two-legged pants.
Even the tie is slippery.
In addition to kneeling and sitting every day, the two legs are a bit looped, and others don't understand how to speak, everything else is very modern, and you can't see it if you don't look carefully.
But it doesn't matter if you have lap legs, you can pretend to be Japanese.
Even if someone sees a flaw, they can push these things to the "visual effects team from Japan", anyway, they often point out the crooked technology tree! God knows that black technology is pointed out again.
Push it all the way through, perfectly!
Hao Fanbai commanded people to blindly row by the lake for a long time, and when he saw that the time was almost up, Mingjin withdrew his troops.
Soon, the show began.
For Gu Xiaobai, this performance is a bit boring, but it is not completely boring.
Vietnam's folk orchestra is similar to the domestic folk orchestra, and in China, it is probably the level of a provincial-level folk orchestra, and it has to be a relatively low ranking.
The strength of the Vietnamese symphony orchestra is also average, although a foreign conductor has been found to conduct it, but the level of the musicians themselves and the overall momentum, dynamics, and speed are not very satisfactory. In addition, the repertoire of the performance is also composed by Vietnam's own music.
Other singing and dancing...... It made Gu Xiaobai want to yawn.
The music of northern Vietnam is in the same vein as Chinese music, and Gu Xiaobai has heard a lot of familiar tones, but the Vietnamese intonation has eight tones, which is twice as many as the four tones in China, so it sounds more tactful, but it is also a little weird...... Or rather, it's ugly.
Vietnam's southern tune (southern music) uses not the Chinese pentatonic formula 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 (CDEGA), but 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 flat, that is, C, D, F, G, bA, the tempo is slow, the melody is lyrical, and it is very Southeast Asian, but it is interesting to listen to.
But it's just fun.
However, the president of the Vietnamese Music Association frequently asked Gu Xiaobai how he felt.
What does this make me say?
Although he can be very sharp on the stage, Gu Xiaobai in daily life is still a good baby most of the time, and people can be regarded as coming forward to help him out, at this time, Gu Xiaobai still doesn't want to say too ugly words.
I can only comment a few words euphemistically.
It can be seen that the person in charge of the Music Association is not very satisfied.
Our show was so good!
Such a high level!
How can you be so cold!
After a while, it was finally time for the solo string performance.
The video of Gu Xiaobai and unknown musicians asking and answering questions has already swept the Internet, and the person in charge of the music association has also watched it many times.
It seems that Gu Xiaobai likes the solo string very much.
Now he wants to let Gu Xiaobai know that that level is nothing at all! Today, we are on stage only a first-class solo string master!
A Vietnamese man with messy hair came to the stage with a gorgeous unichord carved like a dragon and played a song of "Threading the Needle" that Gu Xiaobai had played before.
Everyone in the audience shook their heads, and the person in charge of the music association turned his head to look at Gu Xiaobai and found that Gu Xiaobai was quietly wiping away tears.
Well, Xiaobai was moved!
In fact, Gu Xiaobai just yawned quietly......
They must be trying to put me to sleep and I won't be able to perform later!
I've seen through your vicious thoughts!
However, when the bamboo orchestra came on stage, the eyes of the teenagers under the stage widened and they were very interested.
In fact, there are also bamboo orchestras in China, and all the instruments are made of bamboo.
A bamboo organ, a percussion instrument that strikes a bamboo tube to make sounds......
What intrigued the teenagers the most was a musical instrument called the gromb, which resembled an oversized pan flute, but instead of blowing it with its mouth, it was poured into the bamboo tube with the wind of two hands clapping to make a sound......
The performers swayed their bodies on the stage, clapping their hands in front of different bamboo tubes, and the movements were as fast as if they were dancing.
It's a novelty, but it's ...... expressive How can an instrument that can only produce one note at a time, and it is impossible to have too fast tempo, can be too expressive?
In addition, there is a musical instrument called the wind flute, which is a bamboo pipe, without any sound hole, blowing at one end, blocking the pipe under the hand with your hand, and even putting your fingers into the hole to change the length of the pipe to produce different tones......
Looking at the traditional musical instruments of Vietnam, the biggest impression for Gu Xiaobai is that it is simple and simple.
I feel that Vietnamese musical instruments are just cut down from the bamboo forest and become musical instruments.
Thinking that 7,000 years ago, there was a seven-hole bone flute in China, and 2,700 years ago, a huge bell with two tones had been cast in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Gu Xiaobai was very glad that he did not travel to Vietnam.
Are we really of the same origin?
How is it so bad?
How is the radiation of civilization attenuated?
Finally, the show came to an end.
The curtain announcer came to the stage to announce the curtain:
"Next, I would like to invite the young Chinese musician Gu Xiaobai to bring you a wonderful performance!"
Gu Xiaobai got up, although he felt that he should be called a young musician, but he didn't seem to have this title.
Gu Xiaobai picked up the flute box next to him and went on stage.
He walked over to the microphone and looked down the stage.
"We once copied a Vietnamese song, and to apologize, now, I'll give you a copy. ”
He paused and said, "This piece is dedicated to Vietnam and all Vietnamese." ”
With a slight step on his left foot, the flute box, which stood on the ground like a sword box, opened with a click.
Eight flutes unfold, like peacocks opening the screen.
Behind Gu Xiaobai, on the big screen, eight words slowly emerged:
Bell and flute concerto, "Return the Sword and the Dragon"!
The stage of the performance venue is backed by the calm waters of Hoan Kiem Lake, and at this moment, streams of mist grow out of the lake and slowly cover the entire lake.
Two phantoms, slowly rising from the lake, looming, seem to be real and illusory.
On one side is the carillon, and on the other is the drum.
Under the stage, countless people exclaimed.
What's more, when did such a big two-seater hide in the lake!
And how did it come up!
What a trick this is!
Throughout the Hoan Kiem Lake, countless tourists in the vicinity also exclaimed.
This opening is really cool!
Just looking at the mist and the faint light, many people also realized that this could be a projection.
But it's really too realistic!
800 streets before all the performances in seconds!
Everyone looked at the bell and drum harp, and then looked at the flute in Gu Xiaobai's hand, and immediately understood.
This is the bell and flute concerto!
"Return the Sword and the Dragon"!
(Note: In fact, Hoan Kiem Lake is like a small third-tier scenic spot in China that no one goes to, it is quite broken, and it is estimated that it can't support such a performance.
In addition, when I was reading "Southeast Asian Folk Music" a few days ago, I saw the author write at the end of the chapter "Vietnamese Music": "In the process of writing Vietnamese music, although the author was very financially difficult, I still went to Hanoi, Vietnam, to go around and feel the life of the Vietnamese people...... Due to the inability to personally go to the vast rural folk of Vietnam to collect first-hand materials of music, nor to collect popular songs composed by Vietnamese musicians with their own national style, therefore, there are many ethnic music cultures in Vietnam, which still need to be studied by more scholars. After reading this paragraph, I suddenly felt ...... Sure enough, it doesn't matter if you write music history or music, you are poor in music anyway. _(???? `」∠)_)
