Chapter 21: Fighting Song
March 14.
Yu Hai, who had taken a week's vacation in advance, followed Lao Xu and Lin Wenze on the plane to Yucheng.
The Imperial City is the address where the first part of the Qingping Music Club is held.
In fact, as a gold medal composer, Yu Hai does not need to go to the venue to participate in the exchange meeting.
It's just that Lin Wenze felt that he should take him out to see the world, so he let him go with him.
Yu Hai has no opinion on this.
He himself was very curious about this exchange meeting. Anyway, if you go, you will be an audience, you don't have to show up, you will get the air ticket and accommodation, as long as you follow the big guy, you don't need a backpack. Why not?
After checking in at the hotel, he rested for an afternoon, and in the evening Yu Hai followed Lin Wenze to a club.
As for Lao Xu, he naturally went to chat with the organizers.
As soon as he entered the door, before Yu Hai could see the person clearly, he heard a hearty laugh in his ears: "Lao Lin, you are finally here!" ”
Yu Hai raised his eyes and found that it was a middle-aged man with a strong body, thick black eyebrows, and very attentive eyes.
He looks the same age as Lin Wenze, and it can be seen from his attitude that the two are very familiar.
Seeing him, a smile immediately appeared on the corner of Lin Wenze's mouth, and he took Yu Hai closer to the past and sat directly beside him: "It's rare for me to come to your imperial city, you have to do your best to be a landlord!" ”
When the other party heard this, he patted his chest and smiled: "This is natural, I will reimburse all the expenses, and I can arrange a one-stop for you!" ”
Lin Wenze glared at him: "Don't teach bad children." ”
Saying that, he turned his head to Haidao: "Let me introduce, this is Yang Shuhua, and he is also a Qu father, whose pen name is Shuhua." ”
Hearing this pen name, Yu Hai almost dropped his jaw in shock.
He had naturally heard the name Shuhua, and he always thought it was a female Qu father. turned out to be such a big and three rough man?
Yang Shuhua knew what he thought when he saw Yu Hai's expression. He didn't care either, mainly because he had encountered such a situation too many times, and he was a little numb.
I can only helplessly explain: "When I filled in the name, I was going to write my own name birch, but the birch was upside down, and it turned out to be ...... because of input method problems."
Later, he didn't say what he said, Yu Hai also guessed that the music published under the name Shuhua became an instant hit, and he finally had this fame, and he couldn't say that he would give it up, so he would always use it.
In fact, what he didn't know was that Yang Shuhua struggled at first.
As a big man, he felt that the name Shuhua did not fit his temperament, so Yang Shuhua tried to publish songs under other pen names many times, and even used his real name to post them, but there was no doubt that they all pounced.
Only the song released under the name Sookhwa became popular.
It's also too metaphysical!
Yu Hai later heard Lin Wenze talk about this, and felt a little sad and funny!
At this time, Yang Shuhua saw that Yu Hai understood, so he didn't say anything more.
To be honest, every time I meet someone, I have to explain, and it's quite tiring.
He changed the subject: "Whale fall, yes?" Your name is much better than mine. ”
Only then did Yu Hai come back to his senses, stretched out his hand and said, "Yes, the birch senior, I have admired the name for a long time." ”
Yang Shuhua shook his hand with a smile: "I have long wanted to meet you, and the future life is terrifying!" ”
Yu Hai is actually not able to deal with these elders. He's not a sweet-mouthed man.
Lin Wenze and others also saw his personality when they thought about it, and most of the time they didn't have the idea of pulling him to talk awkwardly.
So after saying hello, he sat quietly and listened to the two chat.
After that, from time to time, people who knew Lin Wenze walked into the private room of this club.
When he returned to the hotel at ten o'clock in the evening, in addition to his round stomach, there were more than ten more names in his address book. Most of them are composers who come to participate in the Qingping Music Club, which can be regarded as a fruitful harvest.
The next day is the official start time of the Seonghei Rakku.
The music fighting session of the conference was held in the largest concert hall in the Imperial City.
Yu Hai followed the flow of the audience into the concert hall and found the place where Lao Xu gave the ticket and sat down.
Today's appearances are basically the tracks of relatively less competitive music companies, and Lin Wenze and Xu Nanshan are not interested in watching it.
The decoration of this concert hall is very solemn and elegant, and it is also very large. There are about 2,000 seats in the audience. There are two stages with an area of about 100 square meters on the left and right, facing each other, and the stage is equipped with a grand piano, a dimmer console, a tuning speaker, a microphone and so on.
It looks spectacular.
This is the first time Yu Hai has come to the concert hall to listen to music, and he sees everything a little strange.
At this time, all the audience members were seated, and the bands on the left and right stages were gradually entering.
Yu Haiyou heard Xu Nanshan say that a total of 120 music companies around the world participated in this Qingping Music Meeting.
Of course, there are more than one music company in the world, but many small companies are not eligible to participate.
More than 100 companies provided more than 100 tunes, and the duel was completed within four days arranged by the organizers.
As early as a week ago, the order of the performances had been arranged.
Lin Wenze's song was played on the morning of the third day, and the opponent was Shanyin Xunjie, a well-known company in China.
It is foreseeable that there will be a battle between the dragons and the tigers.
In the first scene, there was only one performer standing on both sides of the stage, sitting upright in front of the piano.
It seems to be a sonata music genre, and most of it is a solo piano.
The organizers of the Qingping Music Club arranged for the two sides of the fight, and they must be opponents with similar matching forms and instruments.
There's no announcer, and there's no host or anything. As soon as the performers come up to the stage and take their seats, the lights on the stage change.
The first fight officially began.
The lights on the right are dimmed, and the lights on the left.
As slender and powerful hands leap on the black and white keys, a crisp melody begins to circulate through the concert hall.
There is indeed a difference between listening to a live performance in a concert hall and listening to CDs at home.
Probably because of the different angles of the listeners, Yu Hai's senses are that the music he hears in the audience is softer in the high tones, low volume and deeper diving, and at the same time, the sense of stage space in front and back is stronger than what he hears in headphones.
It's a pity that I can't hear the symphony at the Qingping Orchestra this time.
He could imagine that listening to a symphony live in a concert hall would be very powerful, and that the sound would be more penetrating than what he could hear in his headphones.
At the end of the song, the stage lights hit the right side, and the music sounded again, which was a different kind of music.
Yu Hai's level of appreciation has not yet been practiced, so he is currently listening to two pieces, judging purely from the perspective of ordinary listeners, rather than listening to them in the way of composers.
At this time, he personally felt that he would like the song on the left. I can't say the specific reason, but I feel more pleasant.
In general, these two pieces are relatively ordinary, not refreshing, and as a listener, he will not go out of his way to listen to them a second time.
I don't know which company these two songs came from.
The music played live by the Qingping Orchestra will not be specially introduced and announced. What is needed is for the audience to judge the trade-offs purely by their own senses.
At the end of each fight, the audience will vote for one of the two.
In addition, the official website of the Music Association will also set up a page during this period to hang up the live broadcast of the concert hall.
At the end of each fight, the audience in the live broadcast room will also vote.
If the live audience and the audience in the live broadcast room vote consistently, then there is no problem. But if the two votes are inconsistent, it can only be considered bad luck for the two music companies, and both songs will be eliminated.
That's right, it's so crude and simple, it's impossible to compete again.
