Chapter 49: Musical Instruments
When the on-site director Zhao Mei heard this, she immediately said to the field attendant beside her: "Xiao Chen, go and prepare pen and ink immediately." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" turned to Wang Yuan through the headset and said: "Brother Yuan, at the end of the show, there is a link for Xiao Yao to write calligraphy on the spot, you know, don't make a noise now, I'll let Xiao Chen prepare things." β
Wang Yuan nodded lightly and motioned for himself to receive it. He understands the director's intentions very well, after all, culture is their most important feature of this show, and it is also a very important aspect that distinguishes them from other programs of the same type.
Wang Yuan simply continued to take out something from Xiao Yao and said, "Bayi, what else do you do besides calligraphy?" β
Xiao Yao thought for a while and said, "I have learned a lot of miscellaneous things, but most of them have not been studied for a long time, and the only things that have really been practiced for a long time are martial arts, calligraphy and musical instruments. β
"Do you know martial arts?" Wang Yuan said with great interest, "What kind of boxing?
"I only have one set of Shaolin Changquan now, and the master who taught me hasn't officially accepted me as an apprentice yet, so I can't talk about the genre now. After a pause, Xiao Yao pointed to his jeans and said, "Don't let me perform live, my clothes don't fit today." β
Wang Yuan really had the idea of letting him demonstrate it on the spot, but he didn't expect Xiao Yao to block the words in advance.
Martial arts are not performed, calligraphy is left to the end, and now only the musical instruments are to make a fuss. Wang Yuan smiled: "Yes, we won't be embarrassed." But you don't perform martial arts, so you have to show us this instrument, we're all ready. β
Li Xian and Liu Yang, who got the hint, immediately went to the side of the stage and brought the ukulele prepared in advance by the program team, and helped Xiao Yao move a chair and put it in the center of the stage.
Wang Yuan took the ukulele but did not immediately hand it over to Xiao Yao, but raised it to the camera and said: "Audiences who have watched the first issue of "Where Are You Going, Dad" should know what this is after the introduction of Bayi, but considering that some viewers may not have seen it, I will briefly say that this instrument that looks very similar to the guitar, much smaller than the guitar, and lacks two strings at the same time is called the ukulele. β
After a brief introduction, Wang Yuan took the ukulele and asked Xiao Siqi: "You should teach you how to play this for Bayi?" Seeing Xiao Siqi nodding, Wang Yuan continued to ask: "This instrument is not common in our country, how did you think of teaching Bayi to play this? Do you often play this?"
Xiao Siqi said: "I started to learn musical instruments more than a year ago. He originally wanted to learn guitar, but because his whole height was about the same as that of a guitar at that time, and his hands were not big enough, he couldn't learn at all. Later, he saw this instrument on TV and thought it was very similar to the guitar, but it was much smaller, so he pestered him to learn this. Actually, I didn't play this at the time, but I just heard about it. But since Bayi wants to learn, I have to find a way, so I bought it back and learned it myself first, and taught him when I learned it. If you really want to talk about the time to play this, I don't have more than eighty-one, I mainly play the guitar more. β
Wang Yuan nodded with a smile and said: "If the child wants to learn, you should learn by yourself first, and then teach the child after learning, it seems that your father is quite competent." Originally, I thought I would let you demonstrate it first, but since you said that you don't have as much time as the Bayi bomb, I think I'd just let the Bayi bullet count. β
As he spoke, Wang Yuan handed the ukulele in his hand to Xiao Yao, who was already sitting on the chair, and said, "Bayi, show us a hand." β
Xiao Yao nodded, took the ukulele and began to pluck the strings one by one.
"Yo, it's pretty professional. Andy himself also has an identity singer, and he also knows some musical instruments, looking at Xiao Yao's similar tuning, especially when he hears that the tuning is quite accurate, he can't help but praise it.
"That's, and don't look at who my dad is. Xiao Yao replied quite proudly, "My dad can even find out the key hidden in the guitar by listening to the sound, as his son, if I can't even tune the tone accurately, wouldn't I have learned from him for more than a year in vain." For the opportunity to enhance his father's positive image, Xiao Yao will not let go of any of them.
After Xiao Yaoyi said, everyone also remembered the scene of looking for the key in the secret room in the first issue of "Where Are You Going, Dad", and nodded when they thought of Xiao Siqi's terrifying musical literacy.
Xiao Yao adjusted the strings, and without waiting for Wang Yuan to call to start, he began to play on his own. is still the hottest song "The Most Beautiful" in Xiao Siqi's new album.
After playing a song, there was naturally applause on and off the stage. At this time, Wang Yuan stood up again and gave Xiao Yao a difficult question: "Bayi, don't come and go, this is the first one." You played this song "The Most Beautiful" in "Where Are You Going, Dad", come to our show, you have to give us another song. In addition to your dad's songs, will you be able to sing other people's songs?"
"Okay, then I'll change it. Xiao Yao nodded, his hand commanded, and a prelude melody that Wang Yuan was extremely familiar with sounded.
"Thisβ" The other hosts also opened their mouths in surprise.
It turned out that Xiao Yao played a Cantonese song "True Me" by the late Southern Guangdong singer Chen Shirong this time. Wang Yuan once said on the show that his favorite singer is Chen Shirong, and he sang this song "True Me" more than once in the show. Not only Wang Yuan, but also several other hosts who have partnered with him for several years are extremely familiar with this song.
After the prelude was played, under Xiao Yao's eyes, Wang Yuan naturally sang along.
Wang Yuan has sung "True Me" countless times, and he sings very well and tastefully, but he is not a professional singer after all, and he can't effectively sing with the rhythm and speed of Xiao Yao's playing, but can only habitually follow the rhythm and speed of the original version. As a live performance, Xiao Yao naturally can't achieve the same rhythm and speed as the original. Wang Yuan can't cooperate with Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao can only cooperate with Wang Yuan. In particular, in a few pauses, Xiao Yao forcibly pressed the urge to pluck the strings with his fingers, and cooperated with Wang Yuan to wait for his voice to come out before adjusting.
After the whole song was sung, the cooperation between the two was not perfect, but the whole singing was wonderful. Considering that the two are working together for the first time on an impromptu basis, plus Xiao Yao's age. Everyone on and off the stage gave the warmest applause, and even Andy excitedly put two fingers to his mouth and whistled.
After singing, Wang Yuan said with some excitement: "I have sung this song countless times, but I want to say that today is definitely the most special one." When the program airs, I must record this paragraph and burn it into a disc for collection. After a pause, Wang Yuan walked to the side of the stage and said to the camera at close range: "I have been doing this show for six years, and I have never made any requirements for the later stage, and today I made a request for the first time: I am not allowed to cut this section just now, otherwise I... I'm trying my best to get you. β
"Brother Yuan, calm down!" Seeing that Wang Yuan was so excited, the other four hosts hurriedly surrounded Wang Yuan to appease him.
As a very senior host, Wang Yuan was so excited to perform, half for the effect of the show, and half for the sincere move of Xiao Yao. "True Me" is an old song almost twenty years ago, whether it is Xiao Siqi or Xiao Yao, from the perspective of age, they are not people who will often listen to this kind of song, and compared with the smooth "The Most Beautiful", Xiao Yao is obviously more jerky in the playing of "True Me", obviously for the song he specially learned, this child is too hearted, no wonder he was the first to send warmth to the filming crew in "Where Are You Going, Dad".
Wang Yuan, who was pulled back to the center of the stage by the other four hosts, deliberately took two deep breaths, which pulled the rhythm back. Thinking that it would be enough time for the father and son alone, he took the opportunity to enter the next part of the show.
Wang Yuan said: "Thank you Bayi for the wonderful performance you brought us. We also got to experience the ukulele, a not very common instrument, through Bayi. In fact, in addition to the guitar and ukulele, there are many other plucked string instruments in the world, and we will introduce a few to you below. Players are invited to bring their instruments to the stage. Please Siqi and Bayi to the side and sit and rest and watch. With that, Wang Yuan led Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao to the chairs prepared next to the stage and sat down.
There was a burst of music, accompanied by the sound of music, and four people with musical instruments walked up from the backstage. Xiao Yao paid attention to the musical instruments held by the four of them, and saw that they were two Western musical instruments and two traditional Chinese musical instruments. Xiao Yao knows both of the two Western musical instruments, one is the same ukulele as his hand, and the other is Xiao Yao who knew him because he had seen a video of a live performance in his previous life, and he knew that it was called banjo, but he had never played it. The two traditional Chinese musical instruments Xiao Yao looked like pipa, but they seemed to be a little different from the pipa in his impression, so he was not sure.
The four of them stood still on the stage to the music, and then took turns to walk to the microphone fixed on the pole in front of them to introduce the instruments in their hands.
The first one who came up was a young man in his twenties who was hugging the ukulele, and he said with a wry smile: "Hello everyone, my name is Wu Le, and the instrument I brought to you is a ukulele, but I just watched the performance of the Bayi children in the background, and I think I seem to be a little redundant today." After saying that, he retreated with a burst of laughter from everyone.
The second person who came up was another young man holding the banjo, his expression was much better-looking, and he said with a smile on his face: "Hello everyone, my name is Chen Wen, and the instrument I brought to you today is called the banjoqin." β
Both Western instruments are played by men, while the players of both traditional Chinese instruments are women. The third young woman who came up was not tall, and she had the taste of a Jiangnan woman. She said softly: "Hello everyone, my name is Ruan Yuan, and the instrument I brought to you today is called Liuqin." β
The last young woman had a similar temperament as the previous one, and she also said to everyone with a gentle look: "Hello everyone, my name is Liu Ya, and the instrument I brought to you today is called Ruan." β
"Welcome, welcome. After seeing the four of them introduce themselves, the five hosts also walked to the middle of the stage again.
Andy, who jumped out, was the first to open his mouth and suggested, "Brother Yuan, let's talk about this ukulele first." This Mr. Wu Le, you can go back if you are troubled, and you will not be sent if you go. Let's invite Bayi up. As he spoke, he beckoned to Xiao Yao on the side.
A camera immediately pointed the lens at Xiao Yao, who was sitting on the side. Xiao Yao knew that Andy was purely ridiculing the guests on the stage, so he hurriedly waved his hand and signaled not to go.
Wu Le glanced at Andy with resentment, and was really about to turn around and leave.
"Hey, how can you do that. As the boss, Wang Yuan hurriedly grabbed Wu Le as soon as possible, and came out to preside over justice: "People are already very sad, you are too hurtful." β
