Chapter 107: The Morning Farce

"I always have to wait until before going to bed to know that I have only done a little bit of homework, and I always have to wait until after the exam to know that I have not read the books that should be studied, and every inch of time is an inch of gold, and the teacher said that it is difficult to buy an inch of time......

After Du Qiu finished running 10,000 meters as usual, he turned off the treadmill, picked up the towel hanging next to him, and said to Du Chunhua, who was sitting in front of the piano and playing "Childhood" while humming: "Sister, can you finish playing it all at once? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"I'm not practicing!"

"Then you should practice a few more words!"

"I've only been learning piano with Jin Yan for a few days, and it's nice to be able to play these words. Du Chunhua flipped through the piano score and said: "I learned these words from the Pujiang Symphony Orchestra last night, I can still remember to practice quickly, you go away, don't bother me." ”

Last night's concert started at 8 o'clock and ended at 9:35, excluding the 20 minutes of the intermission, the performance time was only a little more than 1 hour, but it was an unexpected success, the performance was silent, the curtain call was thunderous, the atmosphere was maintained very well, not only greatly enhanced the image of Snapdragon, but also improved the outside world's perception of Cloud City.

Founded in 1879, the Pujiang Symphony Orchestra is one of the oldest orchestras in China and even in East Asia.

Yuncheng's economy is not developed enough, and there is not much cultural heritage, and even since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has never been a record of holding classical concerts, so when the Pujiang Symphony Orchestra came, it did not have any expectations for this performance, but just wanted to leave as soon as possible after completing the task.

The scene was completely opposite to what was expected, because the preparations were in place, and the audience behaved very professionally, which surprised the team leader and conductor and felt very respected, so they deliberately returned to play a song "Childhood" prepared for the recording of the record, which was changed from Luo Dayou's classic songs, almost everyone can sing, very down-to-earth, so that the audience who listened to classical music all night feasted their ears and opened their eyes.

In the 90s, the domestic economy is not developed enough, and there is no Internet, the entertainment life of ordinary people is relatively poor, and there are fewer channels to receive information, many people only listened to the symphony for the first time last night, and it was also the first time to know that the symphony can be integrated with pop music, which naturally produced a great shock and left a deep impression, Du Chunhua is one of them, after the concert last night, on the way back, he said that he wanted to train Lin Jinyan into a world-class pianist.

Du Qiu came out of the shower and found that Jiang Danfeng was over, moved a stool and sat by the piano to study how to play "Childhood" with Du Chunhua, while Dai Yi, who came with him, was a little restrained, sitting on the sofa in the living room and chatting with Du Cunzhi.

"Mr. Du, I'm sorry, I'm bothered. ”

"You're welcome, just sit down. ”

Du Qiu greeted Dai Yi, then picked up the apron hanging by the kitchen door and prepared to make breakfast, but heard Du Cunzhi say: "Xiaoqiu, I'll cook, you translate the Japanese song you wrote." ”

"Oh yes, Uncle Du almost forgot if he didn't mention it, Du Qiu, hurry up and translate it and sing it for me." ”

"Japanese and Chinese pronunciation are different, even if you translate it, you can't sing it, you have to fill in the words again." ”

"Cruel Angel's Program of Action" is one of the most famous ACG divine comedies in the world, with more than 1 million copies of the original record, in addition to more than a dozen languages, dozens of singers, hundreds of different versions of covers, in 2015, the lyricist and Kawa Miiko broke the news on TV that in the past 20 years, she can get an average of 30 million yen per year in copyright fees, and even more than 100 million yen at its peak, which shows how widely it is circulating.

This song is also one of Du Qiu's favorite songs, at least 10 versions were stored in the mobile phone he brought when he crossed, each version is accompanied by a Chinese translation, some versions are completely translated literally, more awkward, some versions follow the principles of Xindaya, more literary and artistic, Du Qiu likes the second translation, but in order to meet his identity of "no domestic formal education", he chose the first translation, deliberately making some sentences obscure.

But even so, it is difficult to hide the excellence of the "Cruel Angel's Program of Action" itself, Du Chunhua and Jiang Danfeng turned on the CD player, and after listening carefully to Yoko Takahashi's singing, they all thought that this was a good song with good lyrics and songs, giving people a feeling of excitement and enthusiasm, which is more connotative than those Hong Kong and Taiwan pop songs that talk about love.

"Little brother, what do you mean by this lyric?"

"Dongying's anime industry is very developed, I used to read comic books a lot, and after reading them, I was prone to cranky thoughts, make up some weird stories in my head, hum and sing when I was bored, and finally mixed up to form this song. Du Qiu made up an excuse to explain the origin of the song, saying: "A while ago, in order to practice the harmonica, I learned some music theory knowledge, so I compiled it into a simple score, and asked Komatsu Aiko to fax it to Hideaki Anno, which is a wish, because he is my favorite animation director." ”

"Little brother, you are really an all-rounder, you can program, you can design, you can cook, you can write novels, and you can even hum a song!" Du Chunhua had a proud expression on his face after listening to it, patted Du Qiu's shoulder, and teased: "Say, in this world, apart from having children, what else is there that you can't do?"

"Sister, you know what you mean, I don't know how to have too many things, don't expect me to help you work. ”

"I knew you were a slacker!"

Jiang Danfeng tried a few sentences according to the original song in the CD according to the Chinese on the translated manuscript, and found that it was completely out of tune, and he really couldn't sing, so he came up with a ghost idea and said: "Du Qiu, you sing it to us in Japanese." ”

"Isn't there a Japanese version of the CD, you just listen to it, they are professional singers, and they sing better than me. ”

"How can it be the same, you are the original author, and you are a male voice. Du Chunhua also thought it was a good idea, and urged: "What are you shy about in your own home, hurry up and sing." ”

Hearing this, Du Cunzhi walked out of the kitchen with a spatula and said with a smile: "Xiaoqiu, Danfeng asked you to sing, you can sing a few words to her." ”

Du Qiu sang "Cruel Angel's Program of Action" at least 100 times in KTV before the crossing, but he never sang it outside, but fortunately, his self-confidence improved a lot after the crossing, and his personality was much more cheerful, and it didn't hurt to sing at home, so he picked up a rectangular building block that Lin Jinyan threw on the sofa, held it in his hand as a microphone, motioned Jiang Danfeng to replay the CD, and then sang along with Yoko Takahashi.

"This is a cruel angelic program, boy, become a myth......"

When Du Qiu was singing, Jiang Danfeng took the translation and read it softly to Du Cunzhi sentence by sentence, and when he heard "One day you will find that behind you, there are wings born to fly to the endless future", he bowed his head slightly and said: "This sentence is good, people should have a little ambition." ”

It's a pity that this family concert was only halfway through, and it was interrupted by the phone ringing, it was Liu Yunlai who called, discussing the specific arrangements for the press conference in the morning, Jiang Danfeng saw that they couldn't finish the meeting for a while, so he followed Du Chunhua to the bedroom, and while helping her fold her clothes, he chatted: "Sister Chunhua, does Yin Caihong, the piano teacher who is careful to teach adults?"

"Why, you want to learn piano too?"

"Well, your brother is so good, if I don't learn more, I'll always feel ashamed of myself when I'm with him. Jiang Danfeng pursed his lips self-deprecatingly and said, "When I listened to the symphony last night, I felt that Du Qiu seemed to like the piano very much, and he listened very attentively. ”

"You are really getting less and less confident, if he likes it, you have to learn? Then if he likes farming, are you going to learn to plant seedlings?" Du Chunhua glanced at her, and then said half self-deprecating and half proud: "But also, my little brother is really very good, if I am not his sister, I will not be confident." ”

"That's it!"

"It's a good thing that you want to learn something, but don't learn the piano, the younger brother types every day, his fingers are very flexible, his brain is also good, and he can remember it by reading the score two or three times, Yin Caihong said that as long as he concentrates on practicing for two or three weeks, he can go to take the amateur grade 10 certificate." Du Chunhua was a bystander, and suggested, "You and your younger brother have opposite personalities and complement each other more, so you shouldn't learn what he knows, but what he doesn't know, so that you can have self-confidence and freshness." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Danfeng frowned and grimaced with both surprise and distress, and asked, "He is so capable, what can't he do?"

"Do you really regard your little brother as an all-rounder?" Du Chunhua smiled dumbly and said: "He doesn't know how to do a lot of things, such as singing, the ghost cried wolf just now, which is far worse than the female singer in the CD." ”

Jiang Danfeng was afraid of waking up Lin Jinyan, who was lying on the bed and sleeping, so he covered his mouth and said with a smile: "It's not like a ghost crying wolf, but it's true that he doesn't sing very well, he relies on roaring completely, and he has no skills at all." ”

"Don't you like singing very much, and your voice is not bad, it's better to learn vocal music, one singing, one accompaniment, this is called a perfect combination, the piano and the song. ”

Jiang Danfeng was fascinated when he heard this, and after being stunned for a while, he said with a smile: "Sister Chunhua, we have a rock concert tonight, held in the stadium of Sanjiang University, not as serious as last night, more casual, how about I go on stage and sing a song to Du Qiu at that time?"

"Yes. Du Chunhua was also interested, and came up with an idea: "My younger brother has been practicing the harmonica for more than a month, and he can play a lot of tunes, you can ask him to help you accompany him." ”

"Forget it, if the two work together, they need to rehearse in advance, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes, he is very busy today, and he can't find time to rehearse. Jiang Danfeng likes to be lively, and said: "Du Qiu has been practicing for so long, it's a pity not to go out to show off, I'll bring the harmonica later, and encourage him to go on stage at night to play a solo song for netizens, just to set an example for Snapdragon's employees, so that they can learn more things if they have nothing to do, and don't lie in front of the computer every day to play games." ”

"That's it!"
