Chapter 345: Kunqu Opera and Pop, Between Mountains and Rivers
The program idea of "Singing While Walking" was proposed by Zhou You and discussed with the prince to implement it.
The so-called "ending song" is similar to the form of the "Sing While Walking" program on Earth.
At the end of each episode,
The guests all sang a song together.
The guests played and played various musical instruments.
And the songs sung are as close as possible to the theme of this episode.
After receiving the task, Zhou You and the others began to discuss the selection of songs and rehearsals.
First of all, we must determine the track, but after picking and choosing, I always feel that the proposed song is not suitable, so Xu Jian suggested: "Why don't we write a song together?" with original tracks. ”
Everyone is a musician, Xu Jian, Zhou You, and Mo Shuaijie all have certain creative skills, and it is not difficult to write a song.
"I agree." Qi Haoyang said.
"I'm for it." Tang Mengxi raised his hand and burped...... I ate a lot of pastries tonight.
The proposal was approved unanimously.
As for the creative theme, the direction of creation was not discussed.
After lying down in bed,
Mo Shuaijie bit the pen to write the song, wrote it and crossed it out, and then continued to write.
Zhou You closes his eyes there to recuperate, but in fact, his consciousness sinks into the system, and the lottery is drawn.
I earned 15 raw points today.
One draw can be conducted.
"Lottery!"
With a low cry in his heart, four golden moire cards appeared in front of him, selecting songs, enlarged cards, and overflowing with golden light.
[Congratulations on winning the song "Between Mountains and Waters"]
This lyric song is Xu Song.
National style!
The lyrics and arrangements are perfect.
And it's a good match for travel shows, and it's also a good match for Jiangnan...... Well, in fact, Zhou You feels that the lyrics of this song are written in ink style.
For example, "an oil-paper umbrella on the bluestone slab by the lake, the traveler stopped and folded the flowers and soaked the satin, the jade petals of the tree are proud, but the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are obsessed"......
"This song is not bad as the ending song of Gusu." Zhou You muttered in his heart.
Just thinking about it,
Suddenly, Mo Shuaijie's voice woke him up, "Traveling around? Asleep? ”
Zhou You opened his eyes at this time, "No...... Think about something. ”
"Coming up with a new song?"
"Ah, yes."
"Do you see if this song will work?" Mo Shuaijie said, "Hold back such a paragraph." ”
Zhou You took it over and looked at it carefully.
Inheriting all the memories of his predecessor, including the music theory part, Zhou You still has his own understanding and a brush in terms of creation.
After reading the song written by Mo Shuaijie, "It's good, it's just that the chords here are a little incongruous, so it's ...... to change it."
Travel around "a little test".
After making changes according to what Zhou You said, Mo Shuaijie said: "It's really much better." Have you just conceived your work? ”
"A little inspired." Lobbying.
"Write it out and see?" Mo Shuaijie said.
"Okay." Slightly groaned, Zhou You agreed, "Use your pen and paper." ”
Zhou Yuou quickly wrote the lyrics and songs of "Between Mountains and Waters".
"This ...... That's it? Mo Shuaijie was surprised.
"Hmm."
"Just a moment after closing your eyes, the lyrics and songs are all done?" Mo Shuaijie's jaw was about to drop.
The tour was not only completed, but it was highly completed.
No wonder it's called a creative genius.
The gold content of this A-level creator is at least S-level.
"The arrangement mainly uses oriental instrumental music, pipa, bamboo flute, guzheng ......," Zhou You said lightly.
Boy!! The arrangement was also conceived.
"I admire it so much." Mo Shuaijie said, "From today onwards, you will be my eldest brother." Compared to what you wrote, I feel like the words I wrote are rubbish. ”
Mo Shuaijie had the urge to throw the lyrics and songs he wrote into the trash.
"It's not that bad." Zhou You said, "My creative ability is actually average. ”
He was telling the truth.
After all, it's all about the system.
But it was too grassy to listen to Mo Shuaijie's ears.
You call it general...... What does that look like?
Everyone woke up early the next day.
By less than nine o'clock, it was already packed.
Why...... It's because Zhou You went to eat three shrimp noodles yesterday, and Tang Mengxi and Mo Shuaijie both wanted to eat it. So it's not that they've become more diligent.
It's just to satisfy your appetite.
However, Zhou You wanted to change some tricks, so he went to eat dumb fried with Li Qingyao.
In the end, the two went to buy plum blossom cake and osmanthus cake, and brought a little back to Tang Mengxi and others, who ate three shrimp noodles.
Zhou You likes Gusu a lot.
I especially like the pastry dumplings here.
It's so delicious.
When I returned to the noodle shop, I distributed the dumb fried rice and plum blossom cake and osmanthus cake that I brought back to Tang Mengxi and others.
Tang Mengxi: "I kind of regret eating three shrimp noodles!" I still love Gusu's pastries more, they are so delicious. ”
Mo Shuaijie and Qi Haoyang were still chattering.
I can't praise 148's three shrimp noodles.
Mo Shuaijie: "I still want to eat another bowl, but it's too expensive." Director, is the second bowl reimbursed? ”
Prince: "No reimbursement." ”
Mo Shuaijie: "Director Wang! You're too picky, aren't you? ”
Prince: "Why don't I pat their signs?" Then talk to the boss about sponsorship? ”
Mo Shuaijie: "This can be had!" I could even say two advertising words! Ask your boss if you're free. ”
Of course, it's all a joke.
Mo Shuaijie didn't eat the second bowl, because even if he didn't pay for it himself, he still felt that a bowl of noodles 148 was too expensive...... It's good to eat when you want to improve your life.
Xu Jian talked about the "ending song", "Zhou You, I heard that you have written the ending song last night?" ”
Zhou You: "I wrote a poem. ”
Xu Jian: "Look? ”
Zhou You: "Let's go tonight, let's touch again, and then change." ”
After breakfast, embark on the trip.
Go to Hanshan Temple today.
That's right
It is the Hanshan Temple of "Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, and the bell rings to the passenger ship in the middle of the night".
After visiting Hanshan Temple, I went to Xiyuan Temple.
In short, today's itinerary is inseparable from the temple.
Stamp in Hanshan Temple, copy scriptures in Xiyuan Temple, and eat vegetarian noodles.
It is worth mentioning that there are many cats in Saionji. Li Qingyao likes cats a lot, and she happens to like Zhou You too, so the two of them have been petting cats there for a long time.
"Why are there so many cats here?" Mo Shuaijie has been entangled in this question, "Cats grow in the bushes, cats grow in the grass, and cats grow on the ground...... I thought this was a cat temple. ”
The number of cats here is exaggerated.
And it grows fat.
Lazy to the extreme.
Feel free to touch it...... As long as you're a good feeder.
At the end of the temple tour, the group went to listen to Kunqu opera in the evening.
Kunqu opera is one of the oldest traditional Chinese operas.
One of the genres under the Southern Opera system of the ancestor of a hundred operas.
"The Peony Pavilion", "Peach Blossom Fan", and "The Palace of Eternal Life" should be well-known Kunqu opera.
Although Blue Star has greatly preserved its traditional culture, similar to the earth, with the passage of time, the traditional art of Kunqu Opera has gradually fallen out of favor with people.
Towards decline and decline.
"Singing While Walking" and "The Traveler" are slightly different.
During the filming of "Traveler", the director team hardly interfered with the activities and arrangements of the guests.
The "Singing While Walking" program team will release tasks and arrange activities.
This listening to Kunqu opera was arranged by the program team, on the one hand, to enrich the content of the program, and on the other hand, to promote and carry forward the traditional opera.
This art form cannot be lost.
After the performance, the six stars met and talked with the old students and Danjiao who had just performed backstage.
The old student's name is Wei Chuan.
Danjiao's name is Zou Ying.
Both are Kunqu opera artists.
And they are husband and wife.
Knowing that they were recording a show around the tour, they were also happy to talk about Kunqu Opera.
Wei Chuandao: "As you can see, there are not many people in the audience at each performance. It's a lot today, because there are people from you and the program team. ”
Zou Ying: "We want to do our part, not to mention promoting the art of Kunqu Opera, but at least to pass it on. We can't let it smash into our hands. But it's not as easy as it seems. ”
Zhou You thought for a moment and said: "Nowadays, it is rare for young people to listen to pure opera, if you want to promote the inheritance, you can open up your thinking and find some new ways." ”
"A new way?" Wei said, "What do you say? ”
"Like combining it with pop music." Zhou You said, "My previous work "Xi" has integrated drama, and it seems that many young people like it. It can be seen that young people do not like opera, but they need to find a way that they can accept. ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's a good idea." Wei preached, "But we ......"
He wanted to say that they didn't have that ability.
Mo Shuaijie is the best at coaxing, saying: "The first time I listened to "Xi", it did give me a lot of surprises, and I really like this song. But how should Kunqu opera be integrated? Zhou You, can you give us a sample? ”
Xu Jian: "Yes, let's listen to two sentences." ”
I want to listen to the song of Zhou You.
I want to see him improvise.
I don't shirk traveling around.
There is a track that combines Kunqu opera and pop music.
"On the Plum Side" from the album "Heroes of the World".
Zhou You casually sang a few words.
The first is a Kunqu opera opening.
"He is a guest in the Toad Palace, not on the plum side, but on the willow side~~"
As soon as Zhou You opened his mouth, he amazed everyone.
"He even knows Kunqu Opera?" Xu Jian, Mo Shuaijie and others were surprised in their hearts.
Wei Chuan was also impressed by Zhou You, this tone ...... It is already at the level of a professional Kunqu opera performer.
This pop musician is not simple.
A piece of Kunqu opera singing opened, followed by Zhou You sang a pop singing, as well as rap and rap.
"This is Mengmei falling in love with the fairy in the painting"
"That compartment is Liniang who died for love"
"Don't eat, drink, or sleep for love"
“……”
"The flowers fall like snow on the plum side, who pities them"
"The wind blows suspense in the willows, life and death are as people wish"
"The taste of a thousand years of waiting is sour, and the two are resentful"
Zhou Youxiao sang a little.
"On the Plum Side" is not fully presented.
The cappella can't express that feeling.
"It's probably through this way that the combining," Zhou said, "and then adding the percussion and instrumental elements of Kunqu Opera to the arrangement, a work full of Kunqu Opera elements will be released." ”
The crowd was stunned.
"That's good." Tang Mengxi praised, "The combination of pop and traditional art has no sense of disobedience at all." ”
Wei Chuan was also amazed.
But he was more curious: "Have you studied Kunqu opera before?" ”
Zhou You: "No. ”
Wei Chuan: "Then how can you sing better than professionally." ”
Zhou You: "Let's study for a while." ”
The crowd was even more surprised.
Have you studied for a while to be a professional?
Opera is something that you have to learn from a young age, and it is a lot of work that has been accumulated over time.
But listening to the meaning of traveling, it seems that I have learned the professional level casually.
That's genius......
In the following time, everyone saw the possibility of the integration of tradition and popularity from the "proofing" of the tour, and the ideas seemed to be opened up all of a sudden.
Xu Jian said: "You pointed out a creative direction for us. ”
Zhou You: "I just thought of it. ”
Everyone is very interested in Kunqu Opera.
So he followed Wei Chuan and Zou Ying to learn to sing.
Videographers shoot footage from multiple angles.
Time passes quietly in the process of learning.
Soon it was time to say goodbye.
Wei Chuan and Zou Ying both said: "I look forward to having the opportunity to cooperate with several teachers in the future." ”
And Zhou You does have the idea of cooperating with Wei Chuan and Zou Ying.
Today he is not without gains.
At least the outlines of the new album are becoming clearer.
He originally planned to make a blue album, black album or something, but after listening to Kunqu Opera and meeting Wei Chuan and Zou Ying, the idea of releasing a "Chinese style" album was gradually determined.
This album contains all "Chinese style" songs.
Of course, there is no such thing as Chinese style in this world.
It's full of oriental charm.
He didn't know what the album would be called.
But the "Chinese style" tracks "Blue and White Porcelain", "In the Plum Side", "Looking at the Spring Breeze", and "Three Kingdoms Love" in his hand all have a chance to be selected for this album.
Well, let's see what other works can be drawn in the future.
If you can't draw it, you can use the inspiration shards.
It's not a loss to make an album out of inspiration fragments.
After returning to the hotel in the evening, everyone watched the song "Between Mountains and Waters" written by Zhou You, and unanimously agreed that it was very in line with the taste of Jiangnan, and decided to use this song as the "ending song".
And Zhou You thinks that "Blue and White Porcelain" is also very suitable.
But Zhou You wanted to include it in the new album.
Selfishly,
So the song was not taken out.
It was decided to use "Between Mountains and Waters", and everyone began rehearsals. Li Qingyao knows the guzheng, so the part of the guzheng orchestration in the arrangement will be handed over to Li Qingyao.
Xu Jian knows the flute.
He was in charge of playing the flute.
The other instruments were completed by Zhou You, Mo Shuaijie, Qi Haoyang and Tang Mengxi.
Of course, this piece is also a chorus of their division of labor.
On the basis of the original song, the stars and harmonies have been added.
Sounds great.
The guzheng didn't have it, but the director Wang Hou bought it as quickly as possible.
Stay up late rehearsals.
In the afternoon of the next day, they set out their musical instruments on a thousand-year-old bridge in Gusu City, "lined up the troops", and began to record the final ending song.
During the recording process, many men, women and children watched.
And today,
Zhou You and others also changed into Hanfu.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman.
"Four handsome sons." Tang Mengxi said, "It's so handsome." ”
"Mengxi and Qingyao are also beautiful." Mo Shuaijie said: "Jiangnan people, talented and beautiful." ”
"Talented and beautiful women are very good!" Xu Jian felt appropriate.
"We are the four great talents," Zhou You interjected, "Qing Yao and Mengxi are peerless beauties." ”
"Shall we recite a hymn?" Qi Haoyang said.
Everyone was joking.
Wang Hou pulled the rhythm back, "It's been recorded, it's been recorded!" Prepare. ”
The stars are in place.
Li Qingyao's fingers gently stroked the strings of the guzheng, and the beautiful melody of the guzheng floated out, transmitted in the spring breeze, and showed poetry and painting in the catkins and small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River.
Guzheng is one of the highlights of "Between Mountains and Waters".
Li Qingyao herself has a classical beauty temperament.
When playing the guzheng, this kind of classical beauty is more prominent and outstanding.
End of prelude,
The first to sing around:
"Last night, the same door gathered to push the cup and change the lamp"
"Today's tea, cold wine, and cold words become a joke"
"Half a life is exhaustive in vain, and the inscription is perfect, who can read it"
"Secluded between the mountains and rivers, vows and fame"
There were a lot of onlookers.
Because the prince said hello, this scene can only be photographed but not videotaped, so many people hold up their mobile phones, but they only take pictures, not video.
In the Blue Star,
If the recording team can't record the greeting, or can't spread it, if there are still people to do it, the program team can sue and hold them accountable.
So everyone was very cooperative.
Listening to the song and discussing.
"The words are so well written."
"My God, Zhou You and Li Qingyao are really amazing in Hanfu!"
"Listen well!"
"It's a shame that I can't record a video."
"I will definitely watch "Singing While Walking""
Everyone was talking.
But because they're separated by a distance, their sound doesn't interfere with normal recording.
Mo Shuaijie sang the second.
"An oil-paper umbrella on the bluestone slab by the lake"
"The traveler stopped and folded the flowers and soaked the silk"
"How proud the tree is full of jade petals"
"Jiangnan smoke and rain are obsessed"
"Flowers and rain chase like dust, and the fate is still chaotic"
The voices of Xu Jian, Qi Haoyang, Tang Mengxi, and Li Qingyao gradually joined in.
or lead vocals or backing vocals.
Interwoven into a very beautiful singing voice, it is like "flowers flying and raining chasing".
"Falling flowers and rain, your swaying beauty"
"The fragrance of flowers reminds me of the past"
"I'm willing to turn duckweed into the middle of the lake"
"Only accompany you to the ripples of the years"
The beautiful singing voice sang drunk Gusu and Jiangnan.
Singing drunk onlookers and fans.
