Chapter 179: Clever marriage, clever marriage
The noon break passed quickly.
August 28, 217 in the Han Yuan calendar, at 14 o'clock in the afternoon.
The Zhongxi Grand Theater in Xuanzhou City ushered in the performance of Shen Yiran's second concert today.
"Hello everyone, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to my concert, so then, without further ado, the show officially begins!"
After saying the opening remarks that were almost exactly the same as the previous concerts, Shen Yiran walked off the stage with his guitar on his back, came to the audience on the side, and sat next to Gu Qiu with a smile.
At this moment, like the more than 2,000 people in the audience, he was also a listener, because he gave the opening performance of the concert to the air swing band, to a band with physical defects except for the captain.
"Babble!"
When Shen Yiran had just sat down and the scene was still a little noisy, on the stage, a girl's clear and loud voice suddenly exploded in everyone's ears like thunder on a sunny day.
This sound also made the audience stunned, and for a while, the entire concert hall was completely quiet.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
After the girl's voice dissipated, a drum full of rhythm and power sounded behind it, as the rhythm of the drumstick became faster and faster, when it seemed to be about to become a wild horse that was about to become a loose horse, one, no, it was the sound of three suona before and after, and it was inserted in time, this high-pitched suona sound, accompanied by the rapid drum beat, unexpectedly added a bit of pathos and desolation.
"This is an adaptation of "Coincidental Marriage"?"
Sitting under the stage, Shen Yiran and Gu Qiu couldn't help but look at each other, looking at each other, both of them saw the doubts in each other's eyes, and at this moment, they only heard a familiar voice from the hi-fi speakers around them, it was none other than Xu Lingyi.
"There is no unparalleled beauty in the world and heaven, and the jade cave golden house is a coincidence..."
Xu Lingyi's voice was very small, and she didn't even use her real voice throughout the whole process, it was obvious that the girl sang it on purpose, and when she said a sentence in the workplace, her mouth began to whisper:
"Guan Bo ascended to the abyss court in the wind and fire, and the wind and lightning stirred up the ghost; floating in the Taihua life and public guests, God had a hurry to go; the sun and rain were born in an instant, and the dragon was driven out of Xuanhong; I am sacrificing in a hurry today, this is the name of the Jade Emperor, and those who dare to refuse are not lightly guilty..."
Hearing this god-like chatter, Shen Yiran finally understood, it turned out that the sense of space created by Xu Lingyi's falsetto voice was actually the last scene in the play "Clever Marriage", the scene of the villagers' sacrifice.
For the audience, maybe they don't know that the repertoire played by the suona is called "Lifting the Flower Sedan Chair", but it is almost certain that everyone has heard and knows the meaning of this melody, basically as long as it is the wedding scene, the band invited will bring such a performance.
"It's kind of interesting!"
In the audience, listening to the work of the Air Swing Band, Dian Yong rubbed his temples, smiled and whispered to a woman with short ear-length hair sitting next to him:
"Qi Rong, have you noticed that a few performances of his cousin at the end of the show, each opening is more special, and he has done a few conceptual music before, and what tricks do you plan to come up with today?"
As one of the founders of the starting point music network, she has very rich experience in the creation of independent music, but she can't see through Shen Yiran's performance at all, in her eyes, this is a musician who has neither a unified style, but also lacks personal traces, and more importantly, the other party will always make some imaginative changes in the performance, just like now, completely handing over the stage to her own accompaniment team, this approach is really incomprehensible.
"Red dust is ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring;
How much cause and effect there is, and who can understand it?
Clever marriage, coincidence, human affairs, many troubles..."
Just when Qi Rong and Dian Yong were discussing Shen Yiran in a whisper, the sound of suona gradually faded, followed by the strong insertion of guitar and bass, and the rhythm of the drum kit also made the song enter the main part:
"The lotus silk has finally been broken, and the jade mirror is difficult to be rounded again;
Lang's concubine is intentional, and it is difficult to hope to love and grow old together;
Coincidental marriage, coincidental marriage, drunk today, born in this life..."
Bai Yao's singing voice was full of freedom and strength, listening to the girl's singing, Shen Yiran nodded with interest, originally he thought that adapting a tragic story into rock would make a song too heavy, but now it seems that the other party's adaptation does not mean this at all.
The Air Swing Band did not pull out this tragic story caused by the times for criticism, nor did they introduce the main content of the story in detail in the lyrics, but through the drama, soundtrack, and even spells and murmurs interspersed in the background, people instantly understood what kind of foundation the song was built on.
What is even more rare and commendable is that the whole song, from the arrangement to the lyrics, does not ridicule and criticize the human nature and world conditions affected by the times in the past from the perspective of modern people with a sense of superiority, but from beginning to end it reveals an ideal state that is beyond the individual.
Clever marriage, clever marriage, although it is difficult to escape the love, but chic and natural, can be described as full of fairy spirit.
Although there are still flaws in some rhythmic turns, the timing of the insertion of opera and the ingenious use of musical instruments will never be possible without decades of deep cultivation and study in traditional music.
"The ultimate play of arrangement and imagination, who are the people around Shen Yiran?"
Sitting in the center of the audience, Peng Kai swallowed his saliva and typed such a sentence on his mobile phone, as a music critic, he had already given up commenting on Shen Yiran's works, but to his surprise, in the opening performance of today's concert, a band he had never heard before actually brought a very shocking work.
What's even more exaggerated, this song obviously has nothing to do with Shen Yiran, because as long as you have a little bit of musical foundation, you can feel that the sophistication and retro arrangement of this song is impossible for young people in their twenties to do.
"How did you find such a band as Air Swing?"
Like Peng Kai, Gu Qiu's eyes were also full of surprise, he turned his head and looked at Shen Yiran's eyes, he asked a question with some curiosity.
"Well, I said I looked it up on the Fun Encyclopedia, do you believe it..."
