Chapter 534: The Yellow-Skinned Monkey
Chapter 534: The Yellow-Skinned Monkey
"The sound of this instrument is really uncomfortable. A blonde musician whispered.
Wang Yao smiled, there was no stubble, the sound of the guqin is the most special among all musical instruments, and it is inevitable that you will feel uncomfortable when you listen to it for the first time.
Luo Jin plucked the guqin, looked at the prepared members, and cleaned up.
Several chime players rang the chimes, and the sound of gold and jade rippled out, plunging the huge venue into a huge whirlpool.
The bleak voice of the erhu and the foil of the Qiang flute ensemble accompanied by the chimes grabbed everyone's ears at once, and many of the staff in the venue stopped their movements and looked curiously.
The musical instruments of China collapsed because of the ritual music, and eventually went to two extremes, court music and folk music, court music can also be called literati music, the emphasis is on 'self-quality' is written for oneself, including the court's edification and ritual music, which is also the personal orientation of the royal family.
At first, the instruments of folk music were lively, and then after the way of performing arts, the personal playing style was more prominent, and the singing was very casual while walking.
Although Chinese music has a long history and a wide variety of types, there is no systematic music like the West, which focuses on symphony, so it cooperates with each other, and the harmony of each voice is perfect, until it dominates the world pop music, making this music mode the mainstream.
Because of the two development directions, Chinese music is missing something in the process of evolution, and the opera soundtrack is the most harmonious way to cooperate, but there are still many flaws in modern pop music.
It's not bad, it's because it goes against the rules.
Wang Yao's main purpose in creating is to integrate the characteristics of each instrument, which can make up for a lot, and at the same time not lose the Chinese characteristics, but also conform to the ears of the audience.
Because it is difficult to change a person's habits, especially listeners who are used to listening to Western-style music.
It's like listening to the pop and listening to the classics, and you won't know what to do.
It's not that things are bad, it's that aesthetic habits have a preference.
And if you want to change this preference, you have to get used to it.
Luo Jin played the guqin as a conductor Wang Yao was a little surprised, he used each characteristic note of the guqin to regulate the rhythm of the members, and he was also able to use the characteristic sound of the guqin to achieve the transformation of the previous and the next, which can be said to be a stroke of genius.
The opening of this "State of Etiquette" uses chimes and erhu, Qiang flute and timpani to create a tragic atmosphere of 'the wind is sluggish and the water is cold', opening the first act of the movement, and then like a person's memories poured out, the empty and sweet gonghou and guzheng cooperate with the sheng flute to slowly convey the content of the story, and then the pipa and chime are played together to push the climax of the story.
The pipa is known as the sound of Jinge, also known as the sound of killing, and the melodious and slow foil of the chimes depicts an indomitable momentum, which is substituted for the climax of the movement.
After that, the confrontation between the pipa and the gonghou and the dulcimer, interspersed with the assistance of the third line and the liuqin, all the previous artistic conceptions were disturbed, followed by the replacement of the gonghou against the pipa with the erhu, and the assistance of other stringed instruments completely pushed the movement into a chaotic rhythm.
In the last sound of the guqin and the sound of gold, everything is quiet, and the suona is accompanied by a chime to imitate the sound of birds, describing the excessive fragrance of birds and flowers, the melodious sound of the horse-head qin and the sound of Xun, and the storytelling substitutes for the final lonely ending.
It is also a sad instrument, the erhu and Qiang flute at the beginning, and the matouqin and Xun at the end depict two artistic conceptions, the former with a kind of twilight, and waiting like a kind of indifference.
The end is the guqin with the chime, with the chime as the main part of the end, the elegance of the guqin and the melodiousness of the chime, one of the two through the space from the ancients, the other through time from the memories of the confession, but there is a kind of happiness for the rest of the life.
The film "The State of Ceremonies" is thirteen minutes long, but it depicts the rise and fall of a dynasty, as well as hope.
The judges watched a movie as if they had watched a movie, and the rise and fall of a dynasty were vivid, bringing tears to their eyes.
The artistic conception of this kind of performance is completely different from that of Western symphony.
The Western symphony is like a hammer, pulling the listener into the story.
And this performance is to let the audience incarnate into the protagonist, after experiencing the story, there is an illusion of a sudden dream, and there is an endless aftertaste.
The judges didn't say a word and seemed to be still reminiscing, and at the same time, there was also a group of people standing at the entrance of the sports academy hall, some old and young, all of them were full of disgruntle, looking at Luo Jin and others who were already quietly arranging their musical instruments with disdain.
The elders are all solemn, with solemn faces.
Tan Dun was happy on the side.
"It felt like reading a book and the thoughts that were churning in my head couldn't be quelled. Kurtz was the first to turn back. commented, "Has this song changed?"
"I wanted to match the atmosphere of the opening, so I moved it. Wang Yao said with a smile.
"It feels like it's indescribable, everything in the East is too foreign to us. "The black judge scratched his dreadlocks" mysterious. ”
Others nodded yes.
The two books that Westerners know the most about the Orient and have the greatest influence are Joseph Needham's Science and Civilization in China, and Marco Polo's Travels, which has been debated endlessly.
From these two books, Westerners' initial impression of Oriental China is a mysterious and glorious dynasty, which is highly respected, otherwise there would not be a large number of Westerners who crossed the sea to the Qing court during the Qing Dynasty, especially in the early days of the establishment of diplomatic relations at sea, Huaxia porcelain and tea and other items were sold throughout the West, which made Westerners' impression of China become 'can only be viewed from afar'.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall.
When Western countries figured out the true strength of the Qing court at that time, these wolves all exposed their fangs and knocked on the door of the country, bringing indelible pain to China.
At the same time, it also made the Eastern countries, which were previously powerful in the eyes of Westerners and full of mysterious ribbons, become synonymous with 'ignorance', until modern times, 95% of Westerners have no other understanding of the Dragon Kingdom except its name, Bruce Lee and the Great Wall.
When it comes to the East, the first thing that comes to mind must be Dongyeong, followed by Goryeo.
It can be said that the Dragon Kingdom, which has entered the 21st century, has no sense of existence in the world, let alone an understanding of culture.
But the spirit and emotion conveyed by the music are common, and although the judges did not know how to evaluate it, the various scenes that this movement sketched in their minds were enough to shock them.
"Death, war, rebirth. A blonde female judge looked at Wang Yao and said, "What else?"
Wang Yao smiled: "Unyielding." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
This indomitable spirit really runs through the whole movement.
Because the chimes and dulcimers, gonghou and other things are not easy to carry, so they are left at the venue, sealed in containers and waiting for tomorrow's performance, and the members are ready to rest in the hotel under the leadership of Wang Yao.
While greeting another performer waiting outside the door, there was a small accident.
The guqin that Luo Jin was carrying was smashed to the ground by a blonde white boy who was a head taller than him.
"What's going on?" Wang Yao frowned and walked over to ask.
"Sorry sir, I just wanted to see his instrument, I didn't expect him to be so stingy. The white boy shrugged his shoulders, his face full of regret, and looked at Luo Jin, who was squatting on the ground to check the guqin, vaguely and defiantly.
"Charles, you are so unreasonable, the instrument is the player's partner, how can you do this?" A few people who were chatting with Wang Yao just now were in public, and an old man in a suit with a mustache scolded, "Apologize to him immediately." ”
With a playful smile on his face, the white boy stretched out his hand to Luo Jin and said insincerely, the latter sentence is Latin, and ordinary people can't hear it. "I'm sorry, yellow-skinned monkey. ”
Wang Yao's face sank completely, and he opened his mouth to say in Latin, "Your apology is insincere, white pig. ”
Charles paused for a moment, turned his head to look at Wang Yao in shock, and his face turned red all of a sudden.
"Forget it, boss. Luo Jin held the piano in his arms, got up and said softly, "More is better than less, it may be an accident." ”
"It was an accident, but not now. Wang Yao's face was expressionless, and he turned his head to look at the old man with a word, "Professor Huode, is he your disciple?"
Hodder nodded, "Charles has a somewhat straight personality, don't worry about it." ”
"You stupid X, what did you scold me just now!" At this time, Charles also recovered from his shock, pointed at Wang Yao and scolded.
He has been a piano genius since he was a child, and he was sent to Berkeley, the best art university in the world, and it can be said that he has been the pride of the sky since he was a child, and he has developed a more arrogant character.
It must be said that he also felt the shock, but his pride did not allow him to show respect for a group of yellow-skinned people, because he felt that except for the white race, all races were inferior races and did not deserve to enjoy music at all.
That's why he deliberately found fault with Luo Jin and wanted to humiliate him.
Because he knows that this is the territory of American imperialism, the territory of white people.
For the sake of the professor's face, he scolded Luo Jin in Latin, but he didn't expect Wang Yao to speak Latin, and he also scolded him as a 'white pig'.
Charles felt that he had never been insulted like this since he was a child, and that he was from a yellow race, and he was furious all of a sudden.
"Professor Hodder, if you don't mind letting this kid lose a finger, you'd better have him get me on my knees and apologize. Wang Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Professor Huo De next to him with an indifferent expression.
