Chapter 29: The Party (2)
What a waste of time!
She was about to go home, an impatient voice called her, she was surprised, followed the source of the sound and looked back, a big boy of the same age as her, nodded to her, and jumped on the stage quickly......
The big boy plucked the zither, and a burst of skillful notes found a very unusual interval and flowed into her ear drums.
She felt that this boy was familiar, and after careful identification, she remembered that this person seemed to be Fan Jianxin, and he was her high school classmate.
She had the impression that he had dropped out of school for a long time......
The poignant tune and a somewhat hoarse singing voice poured into her ears and made her flutter!
"Novelty" - these two words popped up in her consciousness.
With the singing, she couldn't help but think of a peaceful and distant picture......
The song seems to express the mental journey of a woman who is pregnant with spring and meets a man she likes.
From love at first sight to missing day and night, from unhesitating to promising eternity, "I'd rather spend my whole life waiting for you to find out, I have never gone far by your side......"
One can't help but ask, since you haven't gone far, why spend your whole life waiting, instead of taking the initiative to pursue it earlier?
This is where the artistic conception lies!
The introduction of the somewhat hoarse "lalala......" is like the sound of gurgling water echoing in the valley, reverberating and endless......
Fan Jianxin's singing is quiet and timeless, and his voice is like a bass organ sound. Under the simple accompaniment of the guzheng, a soothing accompaniment slowly flows, and the major and minor strings alternate lazily, as if it were a velvety background......
Fan Jianxin sings a combination of virtual and real, and the ornamental sound and syncopated tone are used freely, with a sense of vicissitudes of a century-old longing. A few wisps of floating high and low tones occasionally appear in the accompaniment, flashing, but they can never break the original artistic conception.
There is a bit of tranquility and poignancy in the middle of it...... Desolation.
The main theme of the interlude is melodious and ethereal under the performance of the guzheng...... However, if you listen carefully, there are two notable changes in the interlude music:
First, it is transposed upwards in a minor third to form the eponymous E minor key (1=G), and the accompaniment music ends on the main subordinate notes la and mi, so as to strengthen the minor tonality and lay the groundwork for the subsequent re-modulation;
Second, Fan Jianxin occasionally added percussion-like accompaniment to the strings, which significantly strengthened the sense of rhythm.
If we say the first paragraph, the singer interprets the artistic conception of stillness; In the second paragraph after the repetition, it can be said that after the promise, it becomes free, and it seems that the protagonist is eagerly looking forward to the appearance of the legendary miracle.
After being transposed back to E major (1=E), the key of the song is the same as in the first stanza, but the music is much brighter.
Fan Jianxin's fingers unsparingly released enthusiasm, injecting a distinct rhythm into the song, full of dynamics......
The phrase "dream", the phrase after "you are on the horizon when I miss you", is accompanied by the harmony of the guzheng, coupled with the poignant and vicissitudes of the singing, which makes the whole song rich and thick, and the dynamics are strong.
There is only one sentence in the third paragraph, "I just took a look at you in the crowd", which is quiet, calm as a mirror, and full of infinite anticipation......
Although there is only one sentence, it forms a strong contrast with the second paragraph, thus forming a "static-dynamic-static" style in the overall structure, which is endlessly evocative.
After hearing this, Ye Zhen couldn't help but burst into tears, and her hands applauded involuntarily.
"Why didn't I find out that this ordinary little boy has such feelings! What a legend! …… Did he really write this song?! ”
Ye Zhen's brows furrowed into beautiful wrinkles.
……
When Fan Jianxin was restoring Chinese calligraphy and paintings at the museum of Princeton University in the United States, he often carried the museum's guzheng on his back in his spare time and participated in some local performances. He also sings this "Legend" often, and when he sings, he even imagines Ye Zhen listening to it in the audience......
The guzheng in the Princeton University Museum has never been played until Fan Jianxin arrived.
At first, Fan Jianxin asked the curator to play the guzheng treasured in the museum, but he was not allowed. It wasn't until Fan Jianxin restored a few ancient calligraphy and paintings that were about to become powder, that the curator asked him to give it a try.
When he played an ancient Chinese music, the people of the United States realized the profundity of Chinese music, and the guzheng was allowed to be plucked at will......
During his time at the museum at Princeton University in New Jersey on the east coast of the United States, Fan Jianxin was exposed to many ancient Chinese calligraphy and paintings.
He repaired the Northern Song Dynasty Huang Tingjian's "gift Zhang Datong volume", the Yuan Dynasty Ni Zhan's "Shore South Double Tree Map", the Northern Song Dynasty Mi Fu's "summer escape" paper and "stay Jane" paper. Even the Eastern Jin Dynasty Wang Xizhi's "Xing Yi Post", he has also seen it.
In order to restore Zhao Mengfu's "Huzhou Miaoyan Temple Records" ink on paper, he spent more than a month.
Sometimes tired, tired, and lonely, Guzheng becomes his best companion. It was also Guzheng who fell in love with Tyrol, a professor of East Asian history at Princeton University and a docent at the museum, and lived together for a while......
Today, he can play a song for the goddess in his previous life, which can be regarded as making up for the regrets of his previous life.
Ye Zhen stared at Fan Jianxin for a while and said, "Can you write me the score and lyrics?" ……”
Several literary and artistic soldiers present also shouted for Fan Jianxin to leave a score.
"Of course, but there is no pen and paper for staves. Well...... I'll write it down at home and send it to you. You leave me an address......"
Fan Jianxin saw that the goddess took the initiative to ask for the score, and he was also happy in his heart, and he felt flattered, as if he had reappeared in his previous life......
In his previous life, he and Ye Zhen were classmates for three years, and he and her never said a few words in total. Perhaps, the course of life in this life will change a lot, he thought.
He's looking forward to it.
Suddenly, an incongruous voice rang out.
"Cheap! What song are you singing?! …… It's supposed to be a song sung by a woman, but you, a big man, still look like a real man?! If you want to be cheap, you don't need to come to the south barracks! ……”
Fan Jianxin saw that the person who said this he knew was his high school classmate Xia Luoke.
Speaking of Xia Luoke, Fan Jianxin was deeply impressed, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of resentment in his heart. The memories of his past life, like a VCD, played clearly in his mind.....
This son of the family of the soldiers in the South Barracks is extremely powerful, arrogant, and insidious and vicious; The eyes are above the top, and there is always no one in the eyes...... Can fight military physical boxing.
In the grade, his grades are second only to Ye Zhen, and he is Ye Zhen's most powerful suitor.
Fan Jianxin clearly remembered that he was like a heel worm, buzzing around Goddess Ye...... However, in the end, he failed to get the favor of Goddess Ye.
Fan Jianxin was suppressed by him in both learning and other aspects.
Even after his father's mysterious disappearance, he studied hard, but his grades still couldn't catch up with him.
During the college entrance examination, he was admitted to a famous military academy in China.
Many years later, Fan Jianxin saw him again at a high school reunion, his military rank was already colonel, and he was even more unpopular, and he insulted Fan Jianxin in public again.
Fan Jianxin was over 50 years old when he heard from a classmate that he had been arrested and imprisoned......
When he was a classmate, he really bullied him a lot.
At one point, the two of them started to fight. Fan Jianxin was beaten miserably by him, extremely insulting, and when Erhezi saw this, he quietly jumped over and attacked him, and he couldn't find the north when he beat him.
The two brothers are not his opponents.
Moreover, after being beaten by him, he acted like no one, and Fan Jianxin and Erhezi were severely criticized by the teacher......
After Fan Jianxin went to college, by chance, he worshipped the school's martial arts teacher as a teacher and learned grappling and fighting, which had the factor of wanting to avenge being beaten by Charoke.
Now that they meet again, the hatred engraved in Fan Jianxin's soul swells up, even if it is a lifetime apart, they can't forget it......
"Oh...... According to you, what is considered a real man's behavior? ”
When Fan Jianxin spoke, he looked like he was provocative and unbeaten.
He didn't mention singing at all, he knew that Xia Luo Ke knew how to fight in the military, and maybe, today he could take the opportunity to avenge the wrongs he had beaten in his previous life.
"Humph! …… Cheap! Do you dare to test your skills with me? ”
Xia Luoke glanced at Ye Zhen, stared at Fan Jianxin with a sturdy body, and lived like an aggressive rooster.
"You're challenging me?"
"Of course! Do you dare to respond to your cowardice? ……”
"Haha......"
Fan Jianxin responded with a burst of laughter at Xia Luoke's insult-like provocation, his face showed extreme arrogance, and his eyes showed a contemptuous look like looking at a clown, which made Xia Luoke extremely uncomfortable.
"Of course I dare! Just your stupid pig appearance, it's not enough for our little Director Fan's three moves......" Suddenly, Hua Wei, who had been sitting quietly, came over and said loudly.
Hua Wei didn't know Xia Luoke, he came to the South Barracks today to comfort the army, he has been very happy and enjoyed the whole process.
Fan Jianxin's singing of "Legend" just now really made him like and shock. He didn't expect that Fan Jianxin sang so well and wrote the lyrics so touchingly, which resonated in his heart.
In his heart, he has always had a crush on Yang Miao.
In the past, Fan Jianxin was the first to say that he liked Yang Miao in front of their brothers, and he hid his emotions. Now, Fan Jianxin is extremely disgusted with Yang Miao, and his careful thinking about Yang Miao is gradually raising his head.
But Yang Miao never looked at him squarely, so the song "Legend" sung by Fan Jianxin seemed to be written for him, and he felt that he had always been by Yang Miao's side, waiting for her to find out......
After listening to Erhezi's introduction, he learned that this person who came forward to provoke Fan Jianxin had bullied Fan Jianxin in school.
Recently, he and Erhezi followed Fan Jianxin to learn martial arts and grappling, and they knew that Fan Jianxin was powerful.
He hoped that Fan Jianxin could teach this arrogant boy a lesson!
"Haha......" Charoko burst out laughing, and there was wildness in his laughter, "Saying that he can't stand my three moves, it's pretty much the same!" ”
Originally, this literary party was also informal, and in this way, a relaxed and happy party became a free-hand competition between two young men.
Brigade Commander Ye saw a few people arguing, and said impatiently: "What are you talking about!" If you want to compete, get started! ”
He wanted to see if Fan Jianxin had blood, which was crucial to becoming a soldier.
"Yes, Brigade Commander Ye is right, hurry up and start!" Fan Fagui didn't think it was a big deal, and he echoed with the strength of the wine.
Fan Jianxin has always been "in the nest" at home, and his father really thinks that his son can fight.
In fact, outside, Fan Jianxin has always been the target of bullying.
Brigade Commander Ye Gang, who is also a master of fighting, not only did not stop it, but urged loudly, like an adult who has nothing to do, as if he wants to see children fight, and is happy to see it.
He knew that Xia Luoke's fists and kicks were powerful, and he wanted to know how capable Fan Jianxin was, and whether it was worth recruiting him into the barracks.
At this stage, it is not easy for young people to become soldiers. The state has a generous resettlement policy for veterans, such as veterans with urban household registration, who can enter state-run units. It is very attractive in this day and age.
Sister Yingzi, she didn't want her brother to fight with others, and she was just about to dissuade her when she was pulled away by Erhezi. Erhezi whispered a few words in her ear, and Yingzi stopped squeaking, but her face still showed nervous and worried emotions.
"Charoco! Your Challenge...... It's unfair to Fan Jianxin! ”
Ye Zhen walked over.
Fan Jianxin was pleasantly surprised that the goddess would be upset for me! ……
