Chapter 139: "Lotus Pond" is a shocking song
More than 70 writers and editors in the city had a dinner in a hotel by the lake, a large cruise ship was anchored ten meters offshore, and a small singing and dancing party organized by the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles was held on the deck of the cruise ship.
"Cut a period of time to flow slowly,
Flowing into the moonlight and rippling slightly,
Play a song of small lotus with a faint fragrance,
The beautiful sound of the piano fell beside me,
Fireflies light up the stars of the night,
Who adds me a garment of dreams,
Push open the window of your heart and look into the distance,
Who plucked that one of yesterday's sorrows......"
The fresh and elegant ancient style songs, beautiful and tactful melodies, and ethereal and slightly sad singing voices immediately focused the attention of all guests on the cruise stage. On the deck stood a young woman, dressed in a green performance dress, slim and beautiful, with her hands stretched out, singing softly, as if completely intoxicated by her own singing, and the evening breeze and moonlight became gentle.
This is Wu Fang, a young singer in Nanjian City.
Behind her, Professor Xu Jing, a famous pianist, played the piano freely under the light, and the sound of the piano echoed on the surface of the lake like flowing water, dissolving with the evening breeze, moonlight, and weeping willows.
"I'm like a fish in your lotus pond,
Just to wait for the white moonlight with you,
After the four seasons, the lotus flowers are still fragrant,
Waiting for you to be in the middle of the water......"
The surroundings are quiet, including Jia Gui, Wan Dong and other provincial and municipal leaders, all of them are immersed in the beautiful singing and piano sound of "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond", which is a song they have never heard.
Unconsciously, a song is sung.
There was silence for a moment, and then applause poured in like a tidal wave, alarming all directions.
Chairman Jia praised the people next to him: "The song "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" is good, graceful but not sad, elegant and long, and more positive than most ancient songs. ”
The crowd is also highly praised. Wan Dong, the mayor of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, had a glorious face, and was complacent and humble.
After a while, the hostess stood in front of the boat and said, "Now I invite Comrade Wu Fang to sing the original song "State of Etiquette" in our city, accompanied by the piano of Comrade Xu Jing of the Southern Sword Master College, and the flute accompaniment of Comrade An Ran of Ludao University. ”
Xu Jing's piano sound came from the boat, and Qingyue was like ancient strings. Then, An Ran played a mellow and melodious jade flute, which was passionate and elegant, light and fluttering, and the notes soared into the air like an egret. The simple sound of the flute contains a magical charm that immediately captures people's hearts under the moonlight by the lake.
At this time, Wu Fang changed into a Tang Dynasty lady's color dress, tending to advance and retreat, Xu Jian has a law, like a lady and dignified, Ying Ying stood on the side of the boat, and said politely to the audience: "In order to welcome the provincial leaders and writers to come to Nanjian to collect style, I will sing a song "State of Etiquette"——
Zi said: Gifts are still exchanged,
Raise your eyebrows to the white sideburns,
My old and young are dear,
Sweeping the path to welcome the guest tent # The door is open.
Look at my great country of etiquette,
A gentleman is virtuous,
The rivers and mountains are scattered, the sparks in the world,
Breathing in the magnificence of a thousand years! ”
After Wu Fang finished singing the first verse, An Ran raised the flute and blew the interlude melody alone, the flute was like a white crane, flying in the air three times, and then flying into the sky, straight into the clouds, so that all the audience listened to the passion and spirit.
Several leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles were surprised, especially Wan Dong, chairman of the Nanjian City Federation of Literary and Art Circles, he actually heard this original song by an artist in Nanjian City for the first time, and couldn't help but stand up, he intuitively felt that if this song is recommended to the record company and promoted to the whole country, it will definitely become popular and become a famous song, which is also his political achievement!
"Zi said: Gifts are still exchanged,
Raise your eyebrows to the white sideburns,
My old and young are dear,
Sweeping the path to welcome the guest tent # The door is open.
Look at my country of Chinese etiquette,
Benevolence and righteousness are full of boundless love,
Mountains and rivers, thousands of weather,
Pregnant with a vein of offspring, Yanhuang ......"
Wu Fang is a professional actor, her ancient style performance is many times stronger than Yang Zijian, not only singing, but also doing various actions such as Wanfu, dance, toast, long bow, arching hands, etc., flowing smoothly and without pretentiousness, showing the ancient Han culture etiquette.
On the lake, Wu Fang wore a green skirt, ribbons fluttering, singing and dancing, fluttering, full of the thousand-year-old country, the state of etiquette, the beauty of Chinese costumes, and the prosperity of etiquette!
After singing twice, Wu Fang ended the song and retreated to the backstage of the cabin.
Jia Gui and He Shaochun, vice chairman of the Provincial Writers, Wan Dong, chairman of the Nanjian Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and Li Tenghua, chairman of the Municipal Writers Association, gave a standing ovation.
He Shaochun said excitedly: "This song should only be in the sky, how many times can the world hear it, I listened to it twice today, Nanjian City is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, which artists created the two songs just now?" ”
Wan Dong looked at the program list a little embarrassed, because the organization of this party was in a hurry, and the program list was also printed temporarily, and even the songwriter forgot to type it. To be honest, it was the first time he had heard these two songs, if it weren't for the host's introduction that they were created by Nanjian artists, and he had never heard them in China, otherwise he wouldn't dare to admit that such excellent lyrics and songs came from artists he "served".
After a while, Wu Fang changed into an ordinary long skirt and came to the leader's small box, and explained to everyone with a smile: ""Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" is written by Yang Zijian and composed by Xu Jing; "The State of Etiquette" was also written by Yang Zijian, and An Ran and Yang Zijian composed music. ”
Wan Dong was stunned, of course he knew that among the new members of the Writers Association last month, there were two young writers, one was named Yang Zijian, who was the same age as Ma Qiuyuan, but he still couldn't help asking: "Yang Zijian?" Which Yang Zijian is it? ”
Wu Fang said: "Nanjian No. 1 Middle School, Yang Zijian, a senior high school student. ”
Everyone was silent for a while, their thoughts were complicated, in fact, they had already noticed Yang Zijian, a young writer, but because Jia Gui Xima Qiuyuan hated Yang Zijian, everyone didn't pay attention to him.
Wu Fang's voice was crisp and pleasant, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "There is also an interesting story about "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond": Yang Zijian first published poems in the supplement of Yancong, and the Chinese teachers of No. 1 Middle School thought he plagiarized. In order to show his literary talent, Yang Zijian was invigilated by 20 Chinese teachers in the teaching and research department of No. 1 Middle School, and Cui You proposed on the spot to create this poem "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond", and then Yan Cong snatched it from Chu Nu and published it. My teacher, Professor Xu Jing, saw it and thought it was very ancient, so he composed a tune for it. ”
Yan Cong was also very proud when he heard this past, and added some details with Wan Dong and other provincial and municipal leaders, especially the matter of opening a small album and writing a brief review for Yang Zijian, he is indeed Yang Zijian's first Bole.
Wu Fang continued: "As for "The State of Etiquette", it has a bit of a legendary flavor......
