Chapter 62 With Vocal Cord Love, Star Cavity "Crazy Clouds"
Chu Qianyin's knife was not found, and these small coincidences outside the venue were just small spices for those in the know.
After all, Su Bai's two short lyrics portray the beautiful image of "Ah Jiu" in the song that is so moving that it is soul-stirring, which is incisive and intriguing.
At this time, everyone turned their heads to look at the "Ah Jiu" on the scene, okay, there is no need for imagination at all, the templates are ready-made!
A pure and beautiful face of first love, singing is also a natural sound that sways people's souls, they can't be said to be similar, it's just a hair, and the laughter can't be controlled at all for a while.
Jokes are jokes, put aside these inexplicable jokes, the audience will know if they listen to it further.
This song is not "openly flirting with girls", but in the tone of a confidant, he is advising a popular courtesan named Ah Jiu to be good and get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible.
"Do you know if the moon is not often round and the flowers are easy to fall, and it is not a long time to be happy and romantic...... I advise you to ask for a sign to worship the Buddha, and you should ask the paper itself. Because of the age, the appearance will gradually fade, and the former benefactor will become a stranger. ”
"Do you know if gold is difficult to buy, why do you need to ask, people have no attribution, and it is very much idle news. When you think about the world slowly, your throat will choke, the wine jug will be raised, and your tears will stick to your throat and swallow. ”
“......”
The good words pierce the heart, coupled with the mournful tone of Dishui Nanyin, and the slightly thin guzheng rhyme, which adds a bit of unspeakable bitterness, which makes people feel emotional.
In that year, on that occasion, the life of the servant was lighter than the mustard, whether it was the popular Ah Jiu, or other mediocre courtesans, or the even lower status of the concubine, they could not escape the fate of suffering.
Especially those blind girls, some of them are born blind and have no survival skills, so they learn to sing songs.
Some of the younger blind girls, who only sing and do not sell their bodies, are called "Pipa Boys", and the blind girls who are committed to survival are called "grass worms", and the people of the time call the Bao Ji "stewed grass worms", which shows the humility of their fate.
Those who are born blind can also blame their bad fate, and the worst ones are those blind who were blinded by poison.
After all, as long as there is money to beg, there will be more disabled children on the street, and when the price of rat drugs rises, some people will start raising rats, and there will be nothing new on Wall Street.
In order to control her adopted daughter more thoroughly, the devastating mother will use a silver needle to blind the girl's eyes and force her to become a blind girl, singing and selling her body.
"The most miserable two raw arms lotus, hugging Lao Zhong and hugging the pipa", in a short Cantonese poem, there is endless tragedy and blood and tears.
Therefore, the popular "Ah Jiu" in the song is very good and beautiful to some extent, but the "good scenery" in front of her is destined to be illusory for a while.
If she herself doesn't know that it is sinister and fluttering, it will be too late to regret it when the short "scenery" passes.
Obviously, the singer "Ah Jiu" in the song is too young to see through, indulging in the illusory splendor in front of her and unable to extricate herself, so the singer will persuade her so hard.
The song makes people feel inexplicably bitter because of this, after all, good words are bitter, so it is often the one who persuades people who hurt the most, and the truth may not be effective, and it is disgusting if it is not good.
"Sister, have you ever thought about it? Do you know how many crazy men, for you to despise the seal, do you know that when the love is deep, you will hate it deeper, in short, it is not a blessing to spend unfinished debts. Hugh and mix again, I hope you get out of the sea of suffering, it is better than me stepping into the clouds. ”
In Su Bai's long chanting, the song slowly fell.
In the song, whether "Ah Jiu" listened to the advice or not, and what her final fate was, it is impossible to know.
But in the endless applause and cheers at the scene, the real "Ah Jiu" went up and secretly gave Su Bai two feet in the name of pouring tea, which made the audience laugh.
"Well sung, sung so well!"
Mr. Xu stood up excitedly, and his palms were about to be slapped.
After quietly enjoying this song "Except Ah Jiu", there are too many places for him to be moved.
Not to mention anything else, just seeing a young man singing Nanyin, listening to his young voice, I was already moved to tears.
After all, in the impression of today's people, those who sing folk music are all old people, no matter what kind of music they are, the voice should be old, and it seems that only the old voice sounds right.
In fact, no matter what you sing, the old and frail are no match for the young.
And this erroneous impression is precisely to show the decline of folk tunes, there are no young people's voices left, and only a group of old men are still struggling to support them.
Therefore, when I see a young man singing an old forgotten ballad in his youthful voice, my heart is filled with emotion.
The two Cantonese opera masters Lin Qun and Peng Hui on the side also couldn't control the shock in their hearts.
Although he had watched the previous video and knew that Su Bai's skills were superb, he couldn't help but be amazed in his heart after listening to the scene, and he was happy that some of the Dishui Nanyin masters in his memory might not be comparable to him......
What surprised them even more was the lyrics of this song.
"It's so amazing, Dishui Nanyin sings so well, this song really looks like Cantonese lyrics."
Mr. Lin Qun said excitedly to Peng Hui, who knows more about this aspect.
"No, I don't think it's like, it is."
Peng Hui shook her head, thought for a while, and then continued: "Although I haven't heard of this song, and it seems to be a bit too long compared to other Cantonese songs, the charm and characteristics of this text are indeed Cantonese praise!" ”
The lyrics of Nanyin and Cantonese are very easy to distinguish, and the first feature is, of course, the difference in length.
The singing script of Nanyin is very long, while the Cantonese song is the opposite, which is basically a short song, and it is generally sung in eight or ten sentences.
In fact, the song "Except for Ah Jiu" is a long story in Cantonese and rare, so Peng Hui hesitated.
The second is the content and theme of the two songs, although at first glance they are mostly things on some occasions, but the difference is very big.
Cantonese is not like Nanyin, who just sings about the infatuated woman encountering Bo Qinglang, but will aim to warn the world, with a critical eye, focusing on the social reasons that caused the misfortune of the Qinglou woman, and paying more attention to the fate of the group.
Therefore, after Peng Hui listened, she was sure that this was a Cantonese praise.
And this is why Su Bai explained in advance that this was Yuexuan, so that this group of bigwigs had to ask once if they found a problem after listening......
The most important thing is that Nanyin's record book is too long, and it takes a few hours at every turn, and Su Bai's weak little body can't bear it.
Choose the first long piece in Cantonese and sing it in the southern sound of the earth, and the time is about seven or eight minutes, which is perfect.
After taking a short break and taking a sip of tea, Su Bai continued.
"Okay, let's continue, as we all know, there are many different styles and genres of Nanyin rap, that is just singing Dishui Nanyin, and then let's play something else, let's have a Cantonese opera Nanyin."
Su Bai's words attracted all the attention of the audience.
"Cantonese Nanyin?"
Chu Qianyin frowned, fully carried forward the learning spirit of asking questions if she didn't understand, and slipped to Teacher Peng Hui and squatted down and asked, "Teacher Peng, Teacher Peng, what is the southern sound of Cantonese opera, and what is the difference between it and the southern sound of Dishui?" ”
"Oh, first of all, Nanyin rap is roughly divided into two categories: Dishui Nanyin and Stage Nanyin, and in the past, some Cantonese opera female singers would also sing Nanyin tunes alone, but their singing style is not the same as that of Yu Ji, and Cantonese opera female singers will often unconsciously infiltrate into Bang and Huangkoukou, which can be called 'Cantonese opera Nanyin'."
Teacher Peng Hui touched her head and explained with a smile, "Of course, there are many differences between the two, and I can't finish talking about them at once, so you can try to find it after listening to it?" ”
"Hee-hee, good!"
Chu Qianyin responded happily, or directly asked these teachers if they were reliable, Su Bai couldn't count on that guy at all!
"The next song I'm going to sing is called "Crazy Clouds", it's the same old way, the learner sings it, and the singing is not good, I hope you will understand!"
In the focus of the audience, I saw that after Su Bai finished speaking, he did not come as soon as he said in the previous song, but closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths in a row, and slowly adjusted his state.
Seeing Su Bai preparing so seriously, the hearts of the old people who were familiar with his style instantly lifted, everyone is very experienced, this kid must be magnifying his moves!
"Hey, it seems that this song must not be simple, you have to pay attention!"
After Quan Bo and Deng Bo glanced at each other, they reminded Mr. Xu in his ear.
Xu Lao also felt it, and muttered the name of this song in his heart, Crazy Cloud? It's another track that I haven't heard before, and seeing Su Bai so serious, I feel that this song may be very difficult.
In fact, this piece is not only very difficult, but also has great significance in Su Bai's previous life.
The difficulty is because this song breaks the norms of the Cantonese opera tradition at that time and creates long and short sentences, so it is difficult to sing.
The significance is great because the original singer "Little Star" Deng Manwei contracted lung disease at a very young age, and her physique was very weak and her breath was insufficient, and she couldn't sing at first at all, but she loved the elegance of this song and its subtle meaning, and felt that "it is beautiful and refined, the sentences are novel, and the singing is like reciting poetry." Reciting to a section of Nanyin, it is more sonorous in rhyme. ”
In order to practice the more than 300-character Nanyin, she specially studied the singing voice of Zhong De, the master of Nanyin, and listened to Nanyin's "Sacrifice to Xiaoxiang" repeatedly, and finally got her god.
With words and voices, the song "Crazy Clouds" was sung, which laid the foundation for the most profound and highest-achieving singing art "Star Cavity" in the entire Guangdong Province and many singing genres in the Cantonese opera industry.
Therefore, of course, Su Bai has to focus seriously and adjust his state to the best and sing well.
The audience was eager to see through it, and it was not easy to wait until Su Bai adjusted his state and slowly opened his eyes.
I saw him calmly playing the kite, which was still the most familiar prelude to the southern sound, and then a graceful and long beautiful vocal chant came out.
"Thinking about the past, remembering the past, looking at the lamp is different. The hateful warbler frequently calls dreams, and the love silk breaks the soul lightly......"
The plain and natural voice, the ups and downs of the smooth rhyme, as if a woman weaves a soft song silk with her wisdom, and then spits out from her warbler throat, entangled with a hundred turns.
For a moment, the audience only felt that everything around them seemed to be quiet, and only the sound of their own heartbeat seemed to be left between heaven and earth.
