Chapter 21: A Song of Surprise and Whiteness (Part II)
The ancients played the piano and burned incense to clean their hands in advance, Zhang Yi was not so particular about being a modern person, but out of Li Bai's respect, Zhang Yi washed his hands before sitting on the bow of the boat to play the piano.
The most important thing is that he took off the eye-catching life jacket on his body, which made Li Bai look at him a lot more pleasing to the eye.
Walking to the bow of the boat and sitting cross-legged, Zhang Yi had the opportunity to observe Li Bai's guqin.
This is a sword-style guqin, which has only become popular in recent years, and many of the earlier guqins are Zhongni or Fuxi, and even in the upper class, you are embarrassed to play in public without a Zhongni guqin.
With Li Bai's reputation and status, there is no problem at all in entering the upper class, but he still uses a sword-style guqin, which you can think of as a personality, and it can also make people disdain for the upper class.
Zhang Yi actually likes the sword-style guqin, of course, he is not an old and angry young man like Li Bai, he despises the powerful, and regards fame and fortune as dung, mainly influenced by the martial arts culture of the previous life, and has a unique preference for things related to swords, who makes most of the protagonists in martial arts novels use swords?
After gently plucking the strings with his fingers twice and trying the tone, Zhang Yi began to play.
The distant sound of the piano and the ancient tune instantly attracted the ears of the whole boat.
Li Bai didn't feel too surprised when he first heard this piece, but after listening to a few paragraphs, the whole perception has changed drastically, and with his phonological attainments, he can naturally hear that Zhang Yi is playing a tune that he has never heard before.
The most rare thing is that this piece has so far only used "Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu", which is a composition technique that will be used in ancient songs, although the Tang Dynasty admires the ancients, but it is not blindly rejecting foreign culture, as far as music is concerned, modern composition is more influenced by the West, and more is composed on the seven-tone scale of "Do, La, Mi, Fa, Shu, La, West, Do", which strictly follows the ancient music to create music.
This is also an important reason why Li Bai can look at Zhang Yi's song differently.
At this time, the music has gradually improved, and as Zhang Yi's fingers pluck the strings faster, the feeling of pouring thousands of miles and hearty is pleasant to listen to.
At the same time, a picture naturally unfolded in Li Bai's mind.
Under the dusk, the sound of the piano is leisurely, and the two best friends are in long shirts and Confucian crowns, boating in the river, singing and reciting the undiminished and unrestrained song of Luotuo, how many mortal worlds are placed outside the chest, and they are pleasantly romantic.
It's a pity that there is no pen and ink at hand, otherwise Li Bai would definitely draw this scene in his heart immediately.
Of course, it is even more regrettable that this piece has no words.
If there is wine, Li Bai can definitely use this song to make a good song, at this time he really regretted it in his heart, he should have invited Zhang Yi to the boat to drink instead of tea, resulting in the feeling that he now has the feeling of writing lyrics, but there is no wine to help the fun, and the feeling of holding back in his heart and having nothing to do makes him extremely uncomfortable.
Of course, there is a reason why Li Bai didn't invite Zhang Yi to drink, because he is not very familiar with Zhang Yi, don't look at Li Bai's alcoholism, but he drinks either by himself to get drunk, or by inviting a few close friends, everyone is staggered and used wine to help the fun.
Zhang Yi, who was concentrating on playing at the moment, didn't know that with a piano song, he had been listed by Li Bai as a friend worth making.
When he played it, Zhang Yi couldn't help but sing.
"The sea is smiling, the tide on both sides of the strait, the ups and downs with the waves only remember the present day. β
"The sky is smiling, the tide is in the world, and God knows who loses and who wins. β
"The rivers and mountains are smiling, the smoke and rain are far away, and the waves are sweeping away the red dust and mundane things. β
"The breeze smiled, but it was lonely, and there was still a night photo left of pride. β
"The people are smiling, no longer lonely, and the pride is still smiling and laughing. β
Li Bai was annoyed that such a good song did not have the corresponding words to sing, and Zhang Yi's act of giving a pillow when he was asleep instantly ignited the surging emotions in Li Bai's heart.
This word is very well done, especially this free and easy to see through the red dust is more popular with Li Bai, although Zhang Yi only sang it once, but Li Bai has completely memorized the whole word.
When Zhang Yi was about to play and sing for the second time, Li Bai directly overwhelmed his voice and sang by himself.
Because of his perennial drinking, Li Bai's voice is like a broken gong, and his voice is very rough, just like the hoarseness of a rock singer shouting in another time and space, but it fits this song very well.
If the version sung by Zhang Yi just now reveals a sense of chic and self-satisfaction, then the version sung by Li Bai is majestic and thorough.
The smoke voice like a broken gong sings the relief of the prosperity and the calmness of watching the ups and downs of life coldly.
Zhang Yi's singing is only in harmony with this song, while Li Bai's singing is in harmony with this song in the true sense.
After singing two sentences, Zhang Yi was already aware of this problem, so he simply stopped singing himself, and concentrated on playing the piano for Li Bai.
After singing the string of "lalala" in the last chorus, Li Bai's whole face was so excited that he turned red, although his voice was already hoarse, but he felt extremely happy in his heart, and the depression that had been squeezed in his heart during this time was swept away.
As soon as Zhang Yi stood up from the bow of the boat, he rushed forward in three steps and two steps, grabbing Zhang Yi's hand.
"What's the name of this piece?"
"A Laugh in the Sea". β
""A Laugh in the Sea"?" Li Bai had a little doubt in his eyes, "Your name?"
Zhang Yi originally wanted to say that this was an ancient song, but the name didn't sound like the name of an ancient song.
"I took it. β
Li Bai shook his head categorically and said: "This name is not good, it is not worthy of this word and song!"
Zhang Yi is helpless, this name was given by the real author Huang Zhan, and it has been sung in another time and space for decades, and it has been regarded as a classic by movie fans and music fans, and everyone doesn't think there is anything wrong with this name, who would have thought that this time and space would be despised by Li Bai.
Not only did he despise it, but Li Bai also took it upon himself to give this piece a new name.
"Since this song has a laughing word at the beginning of every lyric, I think it might as well be called "Smiling Proud Jianghu"!"
WHATοΌ
Zhang Yi's eyes widened, and the shock in his heart was beyond comprehension.
At this moment, he even wondered if Li Bai in front of him was a time-traveling person like him, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Of course, Li Bai is not a cross-athlete, and when he saw Zhang Yi's expression, he laughed on the spot.
"You've thought about this name, right? It seems that we have the same vision as a hero, Zhang Yizhi, just rush to you for this song "Smiling Proud Jianghu", I have made a friend of yours!"
