Han Xuefei's ten fingers stroked the strings of the zither, and bursts of ancient zheng-like sounds floated up, making those who heard it suddenly feel calm.

Sometimes the accent is condensed like a mountain, sometimes the arpeggio is light like flowing water, the music is not slow or hurried, with a leisurely and freehand feeling.

"Papapa~~" The song ended, and a burst of applause suddenly came from the door.

Han Xuefei was engrossed in playing just now, and she didn't notice that there was a person standing at the door. At this moment, after playing the song and listening to applause, he suddenly looked up at the door, Liu Yufan, who was wearing a gray T-shirt and jeans, was standing by the door and smiling at himself.

"When did you come? Why didn't you say a word. Han Xuefei asked with a smile of surprise, and the person also stood up from the piano bench.

"I've been here for a while, and I didn't bother you when I saw you practicing. Listening to you play this song "Mountains and Flowing Water", your skills are not bottom, you have already passed the ninth level. Liu Yufan said with a smile.

"I passed it before I took the university entrance examination, but in fact, passing the grade is a formality, and it doesn't make much sense. After going to school, I realized that the so-called eighth-level and ninth-level ones don't mean anything if they pass the exam, and they are still far from the real masters. Han Xuefei said with a smile.

"Yes, that's right. Nowadays, there are more and more children who go to school in music, but most of the interests of parents and children are in the examination, and most of the current examination institutions are not so formal, and there are many unsatisfactory places. Liu Yufan said with emotion.

"Yo, listening to you, it seems like an old pedant, hehe, but what you say makes sense." Han Xuefei showed a smile on her face, her face, which originally looked a little cold, was actually a little amazing at this moment.

"Let's talk about it casually, by the way, Sister Xuefei, I have an idea to tell you, it's about our show this time. There may be something wrong with what you said, so don't be angry. Liu Yufan just listened to Han Xuefei playing the guzheng, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he remembered something.

"Tell me, it's okay." Han Xuefei smiled and sat back on the piano bench, looking at Liu Yufan very intently.

"That's the case, the main audience of our show is the common people, so it's not good, which also determines that the audience's appreciation level will not be too high. There's a problem here. When Liu Yufan said this, he saw Han Xuefei nodding slightly, as if agreeing with his own opinion, and then continued: "You see, whether it is your "Fishing Boat Singing Evening", or "Whip Urging Horses to Transport Grain", or other programs, they are too serious, maybe some people love to watch it, but I think most of them don't understand and don't like to watch it." ”

"Yes, I also know this problem, don't look at the success of our performance in the cinema last night, but in the countryside, I'm afraid it's a different matter." Han Xuefei nodded and said, obviously she also agreed with Liu Yufan's words.

"In that case, why don't we change the format? Wouldn't it be better to make the performance of these instruments more popular and more acceptable to the people? Liu Yufan waved his hand and said.

"How to change? The tunes are all ready-made, and there are scores there, so you can't change them randomly. Han Xuefei obviously didn't understand what Liu Yufan meant, the tune that had been written into a score, could it still be changed? She had never heard of it.

"I'm not saying to change the existing tune, I'm changing the song. Some popular songs that the masses like to listen to are expressed in the form of instrumental music, plus some electronic music auxiliary, well, in fact, we can call this form new folk music. Liu Yufan blurted out the word.

In fact, on the first day of learning the flute, Liu Yufan had such an idea. In this case, it is better to take another path and let folk music take the initiative to adapt to the market and the people, so that it may be able to achieve unexpected results. In later generations, there have been similar attempts, and there are many successful examples, as long as these experiences are copied. This is a bold attempt, and Liu Yufan is eager to try if he can create a new path in this regard.

"New folk music." Han Xuefei repeated this word in her mouth, this was the second time she had heard it in Liu Yufan's mouth.

"But isn't it easy to play a pop song? In this way, the advantages of instrumental music are not revealed. Han Xuefei asked worriedly. Playing some pop songs with the guzheng, she did it when she was bored, but for her, it was just a pastime, and that kind of music was not elegant. Now hearing that Liu Yufan actually wants to put this form on the stage, Han Xuefei feels a little unreliable.

"Sister Xuefei, you are wrong, playing pop songs with instrumental music is not easy at all, on the contrary, I think it is more difficult than playing those big tunes. Why? Because everyone is so familiar with these tunes, whether you play them well or not, everyone can hear them as soon as you listen to them, don't you think it's difficult? Moreover, the instrumentalization of pop music is not necessarily simple in terms of performance techniques, you can give full play to the advantages of the instrument, and carry out some melody beautification and variations. Isn't Mozart's arrangement of "Little Star Variations" a good example? Liu Yufan said a lot in a row, these words were all turned many times in his mind, and they were some relatively formed ideas. Before, because he was busy practicing the piano, he didn't have the opportunity to put it into practice, but now that he has such a good opportunity to practice literature and art in the countryside, of course he has to try it boldly to see if there is a market for this adaptation.

He is very lucky, among the team members recruited this time, there are Han Xuefei's guzheng, Zhang Gensheng and Meng Dahai who play the trumpet, Pang Dayuan and Li Guangming who play the erhu, plus his own flute, there is too much room to play, not to mention, there is also a fat man Wang Baocheng with super improvisation accompaniment ability, and now he doesn't even need to find someone for the electronic instrumental part. If he didn't grasp such a good opportunity, Liu Yufan felt sorry for himself.

"Listening to you say that, it seems to make sense. But how are you going to change it? Han Xuefei was also interested in Liu Yufan. To be honest, playing those songs prescribed in the textbook every day, I was a little interested at the beginning, and slowly became a little annoyed, but when I played those pop songs, Han Xuefei felt very interesting and feeling. There are even a few pop songs, which she herself is very satisfied with and are proud of it, but she has never had the opportunity to show it in front of people.

"Let's start with a simple tune, well, let's change it to "On the Moon". Liu Yufan thought of the guzheng and the flute, and immediately came to mind the "On the Moon" that he had heard countless times by Wu Guozhong, the gorgeous guzheng and the straightforward bamboo flute, it was a great pleasure to listen to. With the current level of himself and Han Xuefei, although he may not reach the level of a master, he can copy seven or eight points, Liu Fanfan still has this certainty in his heart.

"Over the Moon? Is it a song? Why haven't I heard it, hehe, I usually listen to pop and listen to it less, otherwise, you can sing me a couple of sentences first. Han Xuefei said with a smile.

"Haven't heard of it?" Listening to Han Xuefei's words, Liu Yufan frowned, and then realized that he might be a little ahead.

"It seems that at this time, the song "On the Moon" has not yet been released, and the combination of Phoenix Legend does not seem to have come out. It's a bit of a problem, but if you get this song out now, and make an instrumental version, will there be any problems? Liu Yufan thought a little entangled.

"What's wrong, Yufan?" Seeing Liu Yufan alone there, Han Xuefei asked with some confusion.

"Oh, nothing, I was just thinking about how to change this song." Liu Yufan said with a smile, after Han Xuefei's interruption, his heart also thought about it. Anyway, it will take several years for this song to come out, and now Phoenix Legend doesn't know where to stay, in this case, I don't need to be polite, and it shouldn't be okay to use it. Forget it, without this one, those composers would have written other good things. Liu Yufan comforted himself.

"Wait a minute, Sister Xuefei, I'll go downstairs to find a pen and paper, and I'll write the score for you in a while." Liu Yufan, who had made up his mind, immediately began to act.

"Well, okay, go ahead, I also want to see what kind of tune you change." Han Xuefei said with a very interested look.

Liu Yufan quickly found a pen and paper in the office downstairs, and lay on the small table next to the rehearsal hall, Liu Yufan wrote the words "On the Moon" heavily, looking at these four words, Liu Yufan suddenly had a complicated emotion in his heart.

"Linghua, Zeng Yi, don't blame me, it's really this song that is too suitable for adaptation, well, it's really not good, when you debut, if you really want to sing this song, I don't want copyright fees." Liu Yufan muttered quietly.

"Hey, Yufan, what are you muttering alone?" Han Xuefei came over curiously to see the tune written by Liu Yufan, but when she came over, she only saw him write a name, and began to talk to herself there.

"It's nothing, hehe, you wait, it'll be done in a while." Liu Yufan said, his pen was like flying, and the melody he had listened to countless times turned into a string of music scores on paper.

Liu Yufan wrote a simple score, because this is just a popular song, the vocal range is not wide, and the main instruments used are also guzheng and flute, which are not too wide, so there is naturally no need to use staves. In fact, even the regular flute scores and guzheng scores are all memorized in simple notation.

Seeing Liu Yufan quickly write out rows and rows of simple scores, and it was so accurate and standardized, Han Xuefei also admired him a little. I'm still a college student at the Conservatory of Music, so I'm afraid I'm not as proficient as him in writing sheet music. I don't know which teacher taught it, but the basic skills are so solid.

Looking at the melody on the score, Han Xuefei hummed softly, and only hummed a few words, she immediately felt that the melody of this song was both simple and beautiful, and in her mind, she had automatically thought about how to express it with a guzheng.

"Hehe, it's written, Sister Xuefei, you try it on the piano first." Liu Yufan said and handed over the written score.

"Yes, show me." Han Xuefei took the score, returned to the guzheng with some urgency, and put the score on the music stand.
