Chapter 167: Traditional Art Can't Be Lost (1st Update)
On the other hand, Yin Qingyue's shallow smile on her face has never changed, as if Professor Huang's question was as simple and easy as asking her if she had eaten and drunk water tonight.
"When I auditioned for a singing competition, I once sang a Beijing song,"
Yin Qingyue lightly opened her lips and replied calmly, "You also asked me a similar question at that time. β
"It's just that at the time you asked me why I sang, and now, you're asking me why I changed it. β
Although Yin Qingyue had a smile on her face, her tone was very sincere and solemn.
"Actually, my original intention of adapting this song is the same as the original intention of singing that Beijing song-
I hope that with my modest efforts, more people will see, hear, and like these traditional arts in our country. β
"In this era of increasingly convenient and fast travel and communication, not only the national cultures within each country are merging with each other, but even the cultures between countries are also carrying out deeper exchanges. β
"This is a good thing, but there are also certain side effects - for example, many of the younger generation of people in our country grew up watching the anime of Wa Guo and Citi Country and listening to their music. β
"They can tell the characters and stories of these anime, and even the experience and development of the authors or production companies of these anime, and they can also talk about foreign pop music. β
"But if you ask them: What are the traditional arts of our country, how much do you know, and what is your impression of mountain songs?"
Yin Qingyue smiled, "I'm afraid there are not many people who can say a few things, and they don't know much about art forms such as mountain songs, at most, they just think: very earthy." β
The audience burst into good-natured laughter.
"Actually, this is also normal," Yin Qingyue continued,
"Just like foreigners think that Xia Country is a mysterious and beautiful country, they even mistakenly thought that everyone in our Xia Kingdom has peerless martial arts - it doesn't matter if you can fly the eaves and walk on the wall, you can kill one person in ten steps, and you won't stay for a thousand miles. β
The audience erupted in laughter and applause.
"They are full of curiosity about the culture of our Xia Kingdom, so many of them are very keen to study and research. β
Yin Qingyue waited for a little silence in the venue and continued.
"Curiosity is mutual, learning is due, but what your ancestors left behind cannot be lost. β
"However, how can we break the inherent impression of young people about traditional art, which is profound, verbose, boring, and even decadent?"
"That Peking song gave me a lot of inspiration-
Perhaps, if you first like similar, catchy and easy-to-understand songs adapted from traditional opera or folk songs, you can arouse people's interest in traditional arts, so that they can start to deepen their understanding of traditional arts spontaneously?"
"Of course, that Beijing song is in front of Zhuyu, and my work, maybe in the eyes of experts and teachers, is not even a wooden tree, but I am willing to try hard. β
"In such an important competition today, I know that choosing this song is a very bold adventure, and I am very grateful to the teachers and students of the school for their willingness to support and trust me to face this unknown challenge with me. β
"I'm done talking, thank you, judges. Yin Qingyue said and bowed.
The audience on the field applauded one after another to express their support for Yin Qingyue.
Professor Huang's face finally showed a smile.
He nodded approvingly: "During the audition, you just used other people's works to express your heart, but when it came to the finals, you were able to take the initiative to create and adapt with such a heart, which is very good." β
"This song of yours really gave me a surprise-
The language is simple and vivid, the melody is melodious and tactful, and it can be based on the mountain song, and some popular elements of today, but it is not obtrusive. β
"From the lyrics, the recreation of the melody, to the overall arrangement, you can see your intentions and sincerity. β
"Whether it's your solo part, the chorus of the whole team, and the performance between the three students, the degree of completion is very high. β
Professor Huang said with emotion and slightly excitedly:
"People say that flowers bloom inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall, but I hope that the traditional art of our country is not only favored by foreign friends, but also can bloom everywhere in our own land first!"
"I am very much looking forward to more and more musicians joining the team working hard for this goal in the future to create more and better works!"
There was applause again.
The words of Yin Qingyue and Professor Huang made many spectators watching the game, both inside and outside the stadium, show thoughtful expressions.
Then, two judges made brief comments, in addition to affirming Yin Qingyue's performance, they also praised the matching of the colors of the costumes of the team attached to the middle school and the overall effect of the stage.
Such unanimous praise made the audience who supported the high school reassured, and secretly cheered for Yin Qingyue and them: "As long as there are no major problems in the music quality assessment, the score will definitely not be low, come on!"
β¦β¦
"Congratulations to the Xiang Provincial Affiliated Squadron for getting a full score in the 'music quality assessment' link!"
With a wave of the host's hand, he directed everyone's eyes to the big screen on the stage, "Next, let's take a look at the scoring of the professional judgesββ"
