Chapter 70: To Beijing
On the curtain, two shadow puppets tumble and boil, fighting together, with the sound of drums, gongs, and cymbals, touching the hearts of the audience.
As the saying goes, "a roar of eternal things, dancing millions of soldiers with both hands".
The audience watched the performance on stage, comparing what they had learned with each other in their hearts, hoping to learn something from it.
Chen Shaoyang and Liang Qiu nodded frequently, constantly exchanging their views.
"I'll win or lose with you!" Zhang Delin sang.
"Hey!" the artist howled, and then stomped on the ground.
The song continues.
When he saw the black thief, his heart became angry, and he called his son to return to the shadows. Zhang Delin continued to sing, and other artists cooperated.
Behind the curtain, Zhang Deyun's eyebrows danced, dancing shadow puppets with both hands, handy, although he had not acted in shadow puppets again, but the kung fu in his hands did not fall.
This shadow puppet show was specially handled by Liu Xingwu, but even so, the length of the shadow puppet show is much longer than other repertoire, taking more than eight minutes.
It takes three or four hours for a complete shadow puppet show to be performed, and it is impossible for the audience to wait so long.
This time, "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu" only ended after the three of them converged, and Zhang Fei first scolded Lu Bu.
When the shadow puppet show was over, the audience began to applaud.
The veteran artists put down their things contentedly, and the shadow puppet curtain was removed.
A group of students hurriedly stepped forward to remove all the props, leaving the stage empty again.
The host walked out slowly: "Thank you for the performance brought to us by the old artists, you students will have an exchange meeting tomorrow morning, the time and place have been written on the poster at the entrance of the concert hall, welcome everyone to come." ”
This is the end of the old original ecology concert.
Tomorrow morning's exchange meeting is dedicated to Lao Yan.
Xi'an Conservatory of Music needs to establish a cooperation mechanism to start research on Huayin Laohua as a research object.
"Old man Zhang, your performance is very exciting. When the old artists walked off the stage, Chen Shaoyang praised.
"It's really good, as our native genre of Shaanxi, it is a very characteristic folk music. Liang Qiu also said.
The two of them still have a lot of questions to ask, but if it's too late today, they can only wait for the next day.
In the evening, everyone rested, and the next day we went to the office of the Folk Music Department of the Xi'an Conservatory of Music.
In the conference room, the old artists sat on one side, Zhang He and Liu Xingwu were also present, and on the other side were the teachers of the conservatory headed by Chen Shaoyang and Liang Qiu.
"Director Liu, I hope that the Department of Folk Music of the Conservatory of Music can cooperate with you to carry out some research work, and our teachers and students can also help you develop. Chen Shaoyang said.
The schools of higher learning that come out of the academic school may not have the sense of freedom of folk art, but they have the methods of scientific systems and theories, and these are exactly what the old ones lack.
"Professor Chen, I have a request, I see that you have a systematic study of music, so I hope you can also make some things that are old-fashioned, and we can fully cooperate. Liu Xingwu responded.
He works on the front lines and knows where the current problems are.
There is no score for the old artists to sing, but they can't help but sort out these things when they do sorting and research.
Liu Xingwu is only a half-level, simple and okay, but professional ones can't be done.
"Yes. Chen Shaoyang agreed directly.
These are not things, even if Liu Xingwu doesn't say that they have to do it.
"Professor Chen, I have one more request. Liu Xingwu said a little embarrassed.
"What a request, you just say. Chen Shaoyang said with a smile.
"I'd like to ask you to help us write an old-fashioned textbook. Liu Xingwu said.
He was going to do it himself, but it failed, and there were some things that he couldn't do at all.
When I came to Xi'an Conservatory of Music today, I found that the teaching model in colleges and universities is worth learning from, and they need to learn, but this request is a bit abrupt, so I am embarrassed.
"What should I be, this is the original one, Director Liu, don't worry, the work of this textbook will be handed over to us, but we may have to send someone to be stationed in your old cavity protection center. Chen Shaoyang said heartily.
They are good at writing music textbooks, and in the process of research, these things will naturally come out, just sort them out.
"Thank you, Professor Chen. Liu Xingwu's face was full of joy.
This trip was not in vain, the old original ecological concert was held, and the cooperation with the Xi'an Conservatory of Music was also reached, and the problem of teaching materials was solved.
Several people continued to exchange their views on the old style, expressing their own opinions, and their thoughts collided here.
Everyone has studied music a little, and even Zhang He later made up a lot of knowledge.
The two sides signed an agreement, and the veteran artists walked out of the conference room and went to the teaching building to answer questions for the students.
Some students who like the old style and are interested in the old way are not satisfied with just watching last night's performance.
Zhang Delin's group of people stood on the podium to give lectures to college students, and they were also a little heroic in their hearts.
Last time, it was Wei Shi Academy, and at that time, it was still for students to lecture in the rehearsal room, but this time it was directly standing in the classroom of Xi'an Conservatory of Music, which is not trivial.
At the end of the exchange meeting, the performance of Xi'an Conservatory of Music was completely over.
Chen Shaoyang and Liang Qiu sent the artists to the door together, and the bus was waiting.
"Director Liu, I think your performance is very good, and I plan to recommend you to the China Conservatory of Music and let you perform there. Chen Shaoyang said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Liu Xingwu's expression was stunned.
"Professor Chen, thank you. Everyone thanked him.
The grade of the China Conservatory of Music is even higher, and if you can perform there, it will really be a recognition of the old style.
I didn't think I could go, but I was looking forward to it.
Back in Hugou Village, it didn't take long for the Xi'an Conservatory of Music to send people here to start field research on the old dialect, conduct systematic research, and write a paper for publication.
In the theater of Laohua Culture, business is not bad, and there are about 100 people to watch the performances at each show, but Zhang He knows that this situation will not last long.
In the past, it was hot for a while, cold for a while, and when the heat of this period passed, the old man would continue to be silent.
Zhang He has dismissed the idea of opening a theater in Xi'an, and has decided to take over performances across the country.
Now there are many invitations to perform from all over the country, and Delinban can't perform at all, so I have to study it carefully when the time comes.
A month later, an unfamiliar phone appeared on the phone of the Old Cavity Protection Center.
The beginning of the number is 010, a call from Beijing.
Liu Xingwu didn't dare to slack off, and quickly picked up the phone.
"Hello, is this the Huayin Old Cavity Protection Center?" asked the person on the phone.
"Yes, this is the Laoqiang Conservation Center, and I am Liu Xingwu, the deputy director of the Conservation Center. Liu Xingwu said.
"Hello Director Liu, we are the Central Conservatory of Music, Professor Chen of Xi'an Conservatory of Music recommended Huayin Laohua to us, our school very much hopes to cooperate with Huayin Laojiao, and wants to invite Laohua artists to perform in our school, we are ready, I hope you can agree. The man on the phone said.
The moment the voice reached his ears, Liu Xingwu was stunned.
The call came from the Central Conservatory of Music, inviting veteran artists to perform at their school, not a dream.
Liu Xingwu couldn't say a word for a long time, and his entire chest was filled with joy, wanting to vent out.
This is going to Beijing!
Go to the capital!
Perform at the highest music school in China!
Compared with performing at the Xi'an Conservatory of Music, there is no doubt that the Central Conservatory of Music has more weight.
"Director Liu, have you thought about it?" said the person on the phone.
Liu Xingwu reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "I think about it, we agree!"
"Okay, Director Liu, let's discuss the specific matters. ”
"Good. ”
According to the excitement in his heart, Liu Xingwu immediately finalized the specific matters with the Central Conservatory of Music.
Hanging up the phone, Liu Xingwu suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the office, making Lin Xiong and Wu Xiaoqian a little confused, what is this for?
I thought that Chen Shaoyang was just mentioning it casually, and he didn't report any hope, but he didn't expect it to be successful and go to the Central Conservatory of Music to perform, this treatment is not ordinary, even if he goes to Beijing at his own expense.
Of course, since it is an invitation, it will naturally not let the old artists break the bank.
"Director Liu, what's wrong with you? are you married?" Lin Xiong wondered.
"Getting married, this is a big deal than getting married!" Liu Xingwu said happily.
He stretched out his hand and was about to call Zhang He, but he withdrew his hand again and ran out in a hurry.
The call is not clear enough, and this matter should be said in person.
ran all the way to Zhang He's house, broke into the door and entered.
There are no performances in the theater today, all the holidays, everyone is at home, Zhang He is watching TV, a brand-new color TV, with a big ass in the back, which is considered advanced in the village.
"Zhang He, good news!" Liu Xingwu shouted.
A loud roar frightened Zhang He.
"What's the matter?" Zhang He asked.
"The Central Conservatory of Music called me and asked us to perform at their school!"
When the words fell, Zhang He stood up suddenly.
"Master, come out quickly!" Zhang He shouted.
It didn't take long for all the old artists of the Delin class to come here.
"Are you really going to Beijing to perform?" Zhang Deyun wondered.
"Can the call from the Central Conservatory of Music be fake?" said Liu Xingwu.
Zhao Yun on the side brought tea and water, and said softly: "Lord Deyun, I said at the time that you will definitely be able to go to Beijing to perform, don't you just go." ”
"Okay, good! Our Delin class has never been to Beijing to perform, and this time we have finally fulfilled this wish!" Zhang Delin said excitedly.
In the hearts of their generation, Beijing carries a lot of weight.
In the past, Delin class only performed in Shanxi and Henan at most, and no matter how far away, it was a great honor to perform in Beijing this time, not to mention that it was still performed at the Central Conservatory of Music.
"Grandpa, let's let the Beijingers see our Huayin old talk this time!" Liu Xingwu said with a smile.
"It's just in time to get that new tune out. Zhang He also said.
