"The Legend of the White Snake" is one of the four major folk love legends of the Xia Kingdom, describing the tortuous love story between the snake spirit and the human who has cultivated into an adult.

There are many classic plots, such as the encounter on the broken bridge, the umbrella borrowed by the canopy, the white lady stealing the Ganoderma lucidum, the water flooding the golden mountain, trapped in the Leifeng Pagoda and so on.

This myth and legend originated from a certain place in Nanzhou, not only spread far-reaching to the outside world, but the people of Nanzhou are even more familiar, and they can be regarded as a big bedtime story heard since childhood.

But—

Although the story is very popular, there are very few adaptations of the myth and legend of "The Legend of the White Snake".

This is also normal, after all, Nanzhou has too many mythological stories, and "The Legend of the White Snake" has not been adapted to see if anyone wants to adapt it.

In Nanzhou, many animation film and television companies have set their sights on other myths and legends, so even if "The Legend of the White Snake" is very famous, there are few adaptations.

However, this does not affect the wide dissemination of "The Legend of the White Snake", if you want to adapt "The Legend of the White Snake", it is still a good IP, and it has inherent advantages.

Gu Che said confidently: "When I was doing research at school, I read several versions of the story of "The Legend of the White Snake", and one day I was in a dream, and suddenly dreamed of another brand new ending of "The Legend of the White Snake". ”

He paused for a moment and sorted out his thoughts: "I dreamed that Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen met again after a thousand years, just a mortal who had been reincarnated for many years, and a snake spirit who had just escaped from the Leifeng Tower. The two met on the broken bridge, and they both recalled the past, which is embarrassing! ”

"After waking up from the dream, I was still very clear about the content of the dream, so I took advantage of the scene I saw in the dream and created a song with feelings, and I had the name in mind, which is called "Waiting for You to Return".

"This song is in the form of male and female duets, the male voice sings pop music, and the female voice sings Cantonese opera, relying on the background of "The Legend of the White Snake", we can arrange the stage as one side is the ancient broken bridge, and the other side is modern."

Gu Che said his thoughts: "The general idea is that a modern man suddenly walked into a place and saw a portrait of a white lady hanging on the wall, and there were many ancient objects in it. Then he sat in front of the bronze mirror and saw his past life as Xu Xian. ”

"On the other side, the ancient broken bridge was sung by the girl White Lady on the side of the broken bridge, and finally the man crossed a place and came to the broken bridge where the White Lady was, and the two sang in duet."

Luo Ming thought about it, and felt that this stage idea was quite novel.

If a variety show is broadcast, he will definitely be interested in this stage, so he laughed a few times.

"Okay, you kid has a way! I think your thinking is quite interesting, senior brother and sister, what do you think? ”

Kong Ping pondered for a while, and then made up his mind: "Senior brother not only has the music creation, but also the stage has a general idea, this is already a very mature plan, much more novel than what the Cantonese opera troupe thought, I will stay to help you." For the vast scene of pop music and Cantonese opera, I will also help you! ”

He helped with this!

He Huanying is still a little hesitant, "The Legend of the White Snake" is a good story, but is it really possible to combine Cantonese opera with modern stage and modern pop music?

It's not that she doesn't want Cantonese opera to spread widely, it's that she can't imagine whether this combination is good or bad, after all, there has never been a precedent.

They are the first case!

But He Huanying finally decided to stay and help the little junior brother.

If nothing else, just to open up a new way of publicity for Cantonese opera!

In the Lingnan Cantonese Opera Troupe, she often composes new songs from old ones, wanting to give Cantonese opera more vitality.

And the little brother adapting mythological stories into Cantonese opera, doesn't it also give Cantonese opera vitality?

The starting point for both is the same.

At the same time, He Huanying also has a bit of a sense of compensation.

She looked up at the tightly closed office in front of her and sighed inwardly.

·

The senior brothers and sisters all stayed to help, and Gu Che also let go of his hands and feet and did it boldly.

He found the master that night and expressed his thoughts, wanting to compete with other intangible cultural heritage!

But because he didn't have a Cantonese opera troupe, he could only compete in the name of the master Cantonese opera troupe.

In this regard, the master just nodded slightly, and said with a full heart: "Go if you want, don't ruin the reputation of my Cantonese opera troupe, and you must come up with an excellent work for me!" ”

Gu Che: "Okay master! ”

The master nodded here, then there is no problem in participating.

With the status of a master, who in the Cantonese opera industry does not sell him a face?

What's more, it's just a place to participate, and it's not a matter of appointment.

After solving the qualifications, Gu Che took out the lyrics and music score of "Waiting for You to Return" to show the brothers and sisters the next day, and hummed it to them by the way to see if there was anything that needed to be changed.

As soon as the lyrics and songs of "Waiting for You to Return" came out, Luo Mingli was the first to applaud.

"The narrator's words are good, how did your little head grow?" Luo Mingli glanced up and down at Gu Che, surprised.

He muttered: "People who can take the graduate school entrance examination are different, much more powerful than me, an ordinary undergraduate." ”

Kong Ping and He Huanying looked at the lyrics and songs, and couldn't help but be amazed.

First of all, look at the narration -

"Su Causeway, broken bridge snow.

Intended person, Hu Buplease.

But the envy of the mandarin duck is not envious of the immortals, between the eyebrows, and Zicheng said. ”

Obviously, I recognize every word, but no one thought that matching familiar words and sentences together can actually produce a white painting effect.

Advanced!

He Huanying couldn't help but sing the narration, she already felt it.

Gu Che listened to her singing, and pointed out the change in her breath.

After all, this is music, not authentic Cantonese opera, the breath of the words is different, and the tone behind it is also different, so there is no need for Cantonese opera to be so winding and long.

The senior sister is also a master in singing Cantonese opera, so she quickly adjusted it according to his ideas and sang the lyrics again, bringing everyone a different feeling.

Senior brother Kong Ping didn't know when he lifted the guqin cloth and played the tune filled in the score.

As soon as Gu Che had an idea, he narrated and continued with a song.

He plays Xiao Sheng or Xiao Wusheng in Cantonese opera, firstly, because of the appropriate vocal range, and secondly, because of his own temperament.

He often sings Cantonese opera, but sings less Cantonese, and even he himself has forgotten what it feels like for him to sing Cantonese.

In Gu Che's thoughts, Cantonese should be sung to Senior Brother Kong Ping, but he can sing it first to make a reference for Senior Brother.

"Fate gathers and disperses, and in the drama, there will be changes in ups and downs

Anger and pain, tears to be, exchange for lovers owed

Who is attached to love~

Come or go, right or wrong, the years soak through the beginning

I have gotten it, I have been frustrated, and finally I have a few points of consolation

Who can advise ......?"

The senior sister also continued, and according to the breath of the narrator and the rhythm of the soundtrack, she used Cantonese opera to find a point to combine with the music.

"On the willow shore of the lake, the scenery has been silent

The smoke wave turned, but the day

Fate (fate has been attributed to Wenbai)

10,000 years at a glance (even the end of the silent drama should have been relieved earlier)

Even if it is

(Together) sigh illusion"

As soon as the harmony came out, everyone was stunned, and even Kong Ping's hand playing the guqin couldn't help but pause.

Luo Mingli listened to the harmony between Gu Che and He Huanying in a daze, even though he was no longer singing and the music was no longer ringing, the sound seemed to echo in his mind like an aftersound.

After a long time, he muttered: "Listen to it, the combination of Cantonese opera and pop music is so good!" ”

These words broke the silence, and Kong Ping stared at Gu Che with burning eyes, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

Even Senior Sister He Huanying was no exception, her sparkling eyes were looking at him like water, and she was ashamed to speak.

Gu Che took a light breath, saw their gaze, and quietly took a few steps back.

Emma, as if accidental......

Play big!
