The opening ceremony began at 7:30 p.m. and lasted for two and a half hours until after 10 p.m. When Ye Zi and the others returned to the hotel, the time was close to midnight.

The show was great and outstanding.

After the whole performance, except for a few of the nearly 20 programs, the performances of the other actors were very exciting. Among them, there are three programs that left a deep impression on Ye Zi.

The first show is acrobatics performed by three young actors.

Three young performers from the Guangdong Provincial Soldiers' Acrobatic Troupe performed "Drill Barrel" for the audience. In the middle of the stage was a large round table, on which a cylinder with a diameter of only about 30 centimeters was placed. The three young actors, the eldest of whom is eight years old and the youngest who is just over three years old, have to drill in and out of this cylinder against the backdrop of music.

If only that's all. The child's body is soft enough, although the diameter of the cylinder is small, and some untrained children can drill through it with hard work. But there are several difficulties with this show. One is to pinch a little bit to drill in and out, which is not so easy. Ye Zi watched this show carefully on the side curtain, and basically the time of each little actor's drill barrel would not exceed ten seconds. The choreographer combined the movements of the young actors with the beat of the music, and designed a lot of humorous and comical movements for them, so that the whole performance was not just a technical performance.

Another challenge is the acrobatic performance on the cylinder, where one young actor even plays the famous Thomas full spin in gymnastics on the erected cylinder. This kind of skill is difficult for children who have not undergone rigorous training to learn it no matter what.

The show was both difficult and skillful, but also humorous and the music was excellent, which won the support of the audience's warm applause.

This is one of the repertoire of the Soldiers' Acrobatic Troupe. Three years ago, the show won a gold medal at the first Verona International Children's Acrobatics Competition.

The second program that left a deep impression on Ye Zi was "Midu Mountain Song" sung by a local folk singer in Yun Province.

The Midu area is located in the western part of the Yunnan Provincial Plateau, and has been the "throat of the six edicts" since ancient times. It is also famous in China as the "hometown of lanterns" and "the hometown of folk songs", and "Midu Mountain Song" is a famous song of lanterns. Ye Zi's song "Little River Flowing Water" that they sang at the Xiangjiang Three Singers Competition was from Midu, and this beautiful folk song was known as the "Oriental Serenade" in the international music scene. It has a high international reputation. Famous songs such as "Embroidered Purse" and "Mountain to Mountain to Cliff to Cliff" are also from the Midu area.

Speaking of folk songs, then by the way.

Folk songs are the treasure of the Chinese nation, but to be honest, the more Chinese folk song education goes to the back, the more it enters a dead end. Using the method of Western bel canto to practice Chinese folk song singing, it is also called "foreign for Chinese use". I want to spit on them! This kind of education method has caused many folk singers to learn what they are not in the foreign world, and they don't know what they are singing.

Can this work?

Some people will say that folk songs should also keep pace with the times, learn scientific vocal methods, and don't get rid of scum like before, and only know how to shout with their voices.

Spit on them in the face again!

What is Folk Song? Folk songs are the songs of a nation, using the local dialect, and the vocal method is also passed down by word of mouth, which is the most suitable method for singing this kind of song. Why is it not scientific? Is it true that only Western bel canto is the only correct way to make a sound? See their big-headed ghosts! If this is called "soil", then is it still called a folk song if it is not "soil"? It should be a very "earthy" folk song to sing in bel canto. What came out?

This is the current situation of Chinese folk song education.

Of course, not to mention the homogenization of folk song education, which is more common and stricter. In the past, as soon as the folk singers opened their voices, they could hear who was singing without looking at the introduction. In the same song "Embroidered Purse", Huang Qiongzhi's singing and Sister Li Guyi are completely two flavors, but what is the same is that their singing is equally good and good, and you can tell it when you listen to it. Now, find a few folk singers with completely different voices and singing characteristics to come out and take a look, can you find them? How many can you find?

Will Chinese folk song education be able to get out of this dead end again?

No one can guarantee it.

Don't talk about this, just say that the folk singer opened his voice. It's not the usual clear and high voice, but the kind of soft characteristic. A song "Midu Mountain Song" made her sing delicate and infinite, full of charm, and after listening to it, she could no longer forget such a voice and such a singing.

That's right. The folk singer also sang live - real singing.

Others Ye Zi couldn't control it, but he knew that he was deeply intoxicated by such singing.

The singing of this folk singer intoxicated Ye Zi and also intoxicated the audience, and the warm applause and encouragement was the best reward given by the audience.

The third show that impressed Ye Zi, the quality of the show itself can only be said to be good. But this actor's attitude towards the show and the performance taught Ye Zi a good lesson.

The program is a poetry recitation. The reciter is none other than Professor Nalan Qinghui, the most famous musician and composer in Yun Province. Sounds like an unreliable arrangement?

That's right. Professor Nalan is a temporary rescuer, so he will participate in the opening ceremony.

The performer of this show, the organizing committee originally invited a famous film performance artist, but for some reason, after the big name agreed, he actually released the organizing committee's pigeons when he came to the performance. When the organizing committee finally confirmed the news, it was already the afternoon of the day of the performance, and there were only four or five hours left before the live broadcast in the evening.

The organizing committee didn't care about being angry, and hurriedly contacted the Spring City actors who met the requirements, but after a round of phone calls, no one was willing to take such a job. In the usual performances, maybe someone will take over, come over and make some extra money, everyone is happy. However, the opening ceremony performance was broadcast live, and the poetry recitation was not an easy program, and the requirements put forward by the program team were very high, so everyone could push it, and after a round of phone calls, none of the rescue actors could be found.

In fact, this is easy to solve, and the show will be abandoned when it is put into the usual performance. But the problem is that this poem was specially written by Mr. Yimo, a famous poet in Yunnan Province, for this International Tourism Festival, and has been unanimously approved by the provincial leaders.

In other words, this show must be on.

It was under such circumstances that Mr. Nalan Qinghui was ordered to perform on stage without hesitation. This alone is enough to make Ye Zi admire from the bottom of his heart.

Saving a show is always very risky.

If you change the actor program and change it, the risk is on the new program, and the risk is slightly smaller. If you don't change the actors, the pressure on the actors will be great. The audience doesn't know that you're here to save the show, they will only make judgments about the show based on what they see and hear. If this show fails tonight, it will not only lose the reputation of the organizing committee, but also the reputation of Professor Nalan.

If he doesn't accept it, Professor Nalan has nothing to lose, and he has every reason not to accept it. He is a musician, not an actor in his own right, and no one can blame him for not accepting it.

But Professor Nalan accepted it, without complaint or demand. This kind of behavior is very similar to the style of the ancients who were "anxious and generous".

Ye Zi really admired this.

Later, Ye Zi became the most famous and easy-to-invite singer, musician, and performer in the music and music world, and the source of this was Professor Nalan's rescue performance.

This kind of behavior will also bring Ye Zi the best popularity and the deepest connections in the circle in the future.

That's an afterword. (To be continued.) )
