Chapter 1035: A Magnificent Performance
Without the director's instructions, Liu Yan was already in place, and she was sitting on the floor of the elevator. This old stage lift is the only antique in the club that hasn't been thrown out.
Miao Xiaomei was busy around her, helping her fix her hair, arrange her skirt, and eliminate any details that might affect her beauty, until the last second before the scene, she was still working.
There is music in Liu Yan's ears, even in the background, her spirit is highly concentrated, her hands have never left the strings of the guqin, and her heart follows the tune...... And then the perfect articulation.
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
The ethereal sound of the piano seemed to come from nine days, the audience looked left and right, Li Xiaoru stopped the piano, sat up straight, and put his hands on his sides, and Jason stood in place, closed his eyes, and listened to the quiet and distant sound of the piano. Liu Yan's music, the first time he listened to it, he was deeply moved, at this time it was the Nth time to listen, but his mood has not changed.
Only Lina's dance continued, only slowing down a little, following the rhythm of the guqin, step by step, step by step, she was like a cute girl playing by the stream.
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman ......" The ethereal singing voice, which was very different from Jason's singing style, sounded from behind everyone.
Everyone immediately turned around, only to see a girl in a white dress rising slowly from the middle of the stream, the white skirt spread all over the ground, she did not pull her hair in a bun, her waist-length black hair was like the most gorgeous satin, hanging down to her side, sprinkled all over her back, and a few strands were wrapped around her slender arms, the black hair lined with blacker, the snow skin was whiter, and the strong black and white hair difference was dizzying.
She sat cross-legged on the ground, playing the guqin in her lap with both hands, the carp swimming happily in front of her skirt, the duet chirping of the bird over her head, and a bright and warm yellow spotlight illuminated her, like a round of sun, a gust of wind from nowhere, blowing her hair. She raised her head, showed her eyebrows, and smiled at everyone, the distant mountain eyebrows were like mist, and the clear eyes were like ink, as if she did not eat the fireworks of the world, but there was no indifferent feeling of detachment from the world.
On the contrary, looking at her smile, her eyes flashed brighter and brighter than the spring day, listening to her piano and singing, everyone couldn't help but feel that the wind is sweet, the sun is warm, and everything is beautiful.
The audience was amazed, and some couldn't help but applaud softly.
"It's worth it!" said Bryan, excitedly to his cousin. In fact, he wasn't very happy to go back to New York on a business trip just to see Jason's show. At that time, Michael asked Jason to compose the theme song for the movie, and Bryan's father was in charge, which means that Bryan's family and Jason's relationship is bigger.
Don't look at Bryan after following Harvey's busy running, he is actually not optimistic about "Song of the Fall", putting aside the question of whether this Chinese historical story is tortuous and moving, just looking at the subject matter, it has nothing to do with the current selling point of Hollywood, no matter how much you invest, you will definitely lose money!
And now he can dance and say to Harvey, "Our movies can also be made like this, and a heroine like Liu Yan will make everyone crazy!"
Harvey smiled, didn't say anything, and didn't take his eyes off Liu Yan.
Liu Yan's harmony sang to the second paragraph, Jason continued to sing, the voices of the two people merged together, one sang English, one sang Chinese, but there was no sense of chaos, because Liu Yan's voice was higher and lighter, the man's singing voice was low and thick, language was just a carrier of music at this time, whether it was nationality, history, or the boundaries of civilization became blurred, everything was in the service of art.
Jason slowly approached Liu Yan while singing, and only stopped until he walked to the edge of the stream, looking at Liu Yan across the stream, the two were smiling, and the friendship was deep, but they were not ambiguous and lingering, just like the lyrics sang "My Fair Lady, Qin Se Friend". Jason will never know that the lyrics he wrote, the imaginary princess of the Han Dynasty, are real, he became friends with a Chinese girl from 2,000 years ago, sang together, listened to her play the piano, and even performed on the same stage, such a cooperation can be called "Kuangshi".
Li Xiaoru's piano once again became the main theme accompaniment, Liu Yan's guqin gradually became a chord-like embellishment, and Lina's dance movements became larger.
The three girls are all dressed in white, beautiful, but they have distinct characteristics and are so beautiful that they have their own postures. In the crowd, it stands out like fireflies in the dark.
In fact, if you look closely, you will find that their Hanfu is just the same color, different styles and details, Li Xiaoru's skirt is the most concise, which meets the requirements of the pianist to wear elegant and generous; Liu Yan's skirt is the most fairy, and a large amount of mulberry silk material is used in the fabric, creating the effect of feathering and ascending to immortals; Lina's skirt is the shortest, without mopping the floor, which is convenient for her to dance.
No one stipulates that there is only one heroine in the MV of a song, they are all heroines of the story, and they are all the "fair lady" that Jason pursues.
Jason's black clothes are an extreme contrast to them, like yin and yang. There are too many elements in the whole performance, enough to dazzle people, Lin Zhi didn't want to make more bells and whistles in the color, so he only used the two most classic colors in the fashion circle, so that the audience focused on the music itself and Chinese culture. On the other hand, it is also to highlight the status of the audience, to distinguish the colorful audience from the four performers in black and white.
The performance scene goes to the end, and it seems that there are no boundaries, but in fact, they are isolated by the color of their clothes. No matter how clever the use of light and shadows is, there is no stage, it is better than a stage. Singing here, dancing there, playing the piano next to it, if you stand on a high place and look at it, this is a modern, shrunken, literary and artistic "Qingming Riverside Map".
This performance brought a powerful spiritual impact to all the audience, it broke through their group of people's cognition of art, music, and Chinese culture, and they found that the original Chinese things were not as profound and incomprehensible as they imagined, and they could be so beautiful and thrilling.
He Lushen was completely relieved backstage, Yu Zhan and Song Junzhe stood on either side of him, and he said to the two of them, "It's done!
Yu and Song didn't say polite to him, they smiled at his thanks, they have been busy enough for him these days, Song Junzhe put his hand on his shoulder and asked, "How did you come up with such a great idea?"
"Eh, I didn't expect me to be so powerful!" He Lushen replied with a grin, "Or you will find out if you go to the small black room for two days." ”
Song Junzhe sighed, feeling that He Lushen deliberately sold Guanzi.
"It's true, people can only stimulate their greatest potential when they are forced into a desperate situation, this is called putting them to death and then living later, do you understand?" He Lushen's tone was very serious.
