"A hundred birds and a phoenix?"

In the rehearsal room of the Puhai Chinese Orchestra, Miao Qing and the others all frowned when they heard the title of the song prepared for the weekend.

Of course, they had heard of the name of the Hundred Birds and the Phoenix, because it was a piece that the Department of Folk Music would inevitably mention in class.

However, the real famous song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" has long been lost, and what has been handed down is just another version, which Miao Qing and her sisters also heard in class.

To be honest, although the song is good, the requirements for suona players are also very high.

Being able to imitate the sounds of ten types of birds is already quite remarkable.

Tian Fang also played in the troupe, but she could only imitate the sounds of six or seven kinds of birds, and after Miao Qing and the others listened to it, they felt that it was not much different from other folk suona songs.

"We've all heard this song, so it shouldn't be very artistic, right?"

Erhu Tuanzi was a little unimpressed, because the famous song had been lost for too long, so Miao Qing and the others all tacitly thought that what they said on the weekend was the version they had heard.

However, at this moment, Suona Tian Fang suddenly became excited and said loudly: "No, you haven't heard of it. ”

"Because the song I played, and the one you have heard, there are only ten birds, and it is not worthy of being called "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", it is just a simplified version that has been handed down."

"Only a song that can imitate a hundred kinds of bird sounds at the same time can it truly be called "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix"."

In the rehearsal room, there was an exclamation.

Imitating the sounds of a hundred birds at the same time?

How is that possible?

At this time, Tian Fang's eyes were blazing on the weekend, and his voice trembled a little and asked: "Since you dare to say that art is the pinnacle, then only the real famous song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" can do it." ”

After Tian Fang finished speaking, Miao Qing and all of them followed and looked over.

If it is really the legendary lost famous song "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", it is definitely the pinnacle of folk music.

Are they going to witness history?

was stared at by seven fiery eyes, and had no choice but to speak on the weekend.

"Tian Tian is right, the real "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" can indeed imitate the sounds of a hundred kinds of birds......"

"However, this is not the reason why "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" can be called the pinnacle of art."

Speaking of this for the weekend, there was a sudden pause.

At this time, Miao Qing's curiosity had been completely aroused, and as soon as he paused, someone immediately asked, "What is the reason for that?" ”

Weekend suddenly laughed and said: "Because the real "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" is not exactly a folk mourning music, it is a track with a grander narrative and fuller feelings. ”

"From the first cry when you are born and landed, to the time you are buried in the earth after a hundred years, it can blow your whole life."

The rehearsal room suddenly became extremely quiet.

There was a hint of doubt in everyone's eyes.

A song, starting from the birth of the croaking ground, blowing until the end of life and going to bed in the ground?

A song can be played for a lifetime, can there really be a tune that can do it?

Even suona Tian Fang looked at the weekend with some puzzlement at this time, because it was the first time she had heard this statement.

After thinking about it for a while, everyone didn't understand what kind of song it was, so they could only look up at the weekend.

When it comes time to go on stage, Miao Qing and her cooperation are needed, so that they can understand the true meaning of the song, and it will also help them practice.

The weekend also took the trouble to start explaining.

"The real "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", there are three paragraphs, some can be used for red things, and some can be used for white things."

"The first paragraph is called Phoenix Nirvana, and this paragraph represents that the phoenix is about to become Nirvana, and hundreds of birds come to mourn, which can be used for white things."

"The second paragraph is called Eternal Life in the Fire, this paragraph talks about the rebirth of the phoenix in the fire, and the birds sing in unison to celebrate, which can be used for red events such as the full moon of the newborn."

"The third section is called the Phoenix Dance for Nine Days, and this section is the phoenix reborn, and hundreds of birds come to worship, which can be used for marriage."

"From birth, to marriage, to burial, the most important time period of a person's life, you can use this song to play, is this blowing the end of a person's life?"

In the rehearsal room, everyone was stunned, and it was the first time they had heard that the real famous song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" still had so many details.

The thousand-year-old pipa is a thousand-year-old zheng, and a suona is blown for a lifetime.

In such a realm, just listening to the weekend makes people feel yearning.

Miao Qing and the others thought that this was the end, but they didn't expect that after resting for a while on the weekend, they continued to speak.

"In fact, there is a very important reason why the song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" will be lost."

"What is the reason?"

At this time, even Miao Qing, who was usually the most calm, couldn't help but start asking.

Not to mention the others, I can't wait to bite him, this guy is too appetizing.

"The song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" was played by the suona team only when the most respected local person died."

"Moreover, when the previous suona team was passing on the arts, they would also test the morality of the school disciples, and only the disciples who passed the moral test, the master would pass the "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" to him."

"Usually, in each generation of disciples, only one of them will be passed on, and it will be passed on from generation to generation."

After Miao Qing and the others listened, it suddenly dawned on them that if they were passed down from generation to generation, once they coincided with troubled times in a certain generation, it was indeed easy to be lost.

In the thousands of years of Chinese history, there has been no shortage of turbulent times, and many artistic treasures have been lost in the troubled times.

"But if you say so, only a man of high moral standing is worthy of playing this piece......"

Zhou Zhou smiled, knowing what they meant, and said, "We are not blowing for Wei Yongcheng, he is not worthy of this song." ”

"We are playing for the traditional folk music that has died, and I have already cried and mourned the folk music before, so we should send it to be buried this time."

This explanation on the weekend also became logical.

"After listening to the weekend's remarks today, it was really an eye-opener for us, it turns out that there is so much attention to a song."

Miao Qing and the others were a little emotional, this mouth on the weekend can really say, and a song is as wonderful as telling a story by him.

Weekend smiled: "That's not it, our Chinese people pay attention to etiquette and music, first etiquette and then music, and the appearance of every famous song has its own reason." ”

Speaking of which, his eyes on the weekend have become a little deeper, which is why he loves folk music.

In the thousands of years of Chinese history, every famous song has a story that can be sung and cried.

Suona has "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", Erhu has "Erquan Reflecting the Moon", Guzheng has "Mountains and Flowing Water" and so on......

But what makes the weekend a little regrettable is that these famous songs have been lost on Blue Star, resulting in the current folk music circle being dominated by some silverfish.

……

Meanwhile.

In a secluded private room.

Wei Yongcheng took out a box of tea bricks and handed it to Ding Chuan.

"President Ding, I heard that you like tea bricks, I specially got a box from a friend, if you like it, I will give it to you."

"How embarrassing is this, Lao Wei, you are really, what do you want me to say about you......"

Ding Chuan shook his head, took advantage of the situation and weighed the packaging box a few times with his hand, and then his face became smiling.

"If you like it, if you like it, if you like it." Wei Yongcheng saw Ding Chuan put the box away, and then he said, "The matter of the Chime Award...... Let President Ding bother. ”

Ding Chuan nodded, just poured a cup of tea for Wei Yongcheng and said, "Drink tea, the heat is coming, the tea is good." ”

Wei Yongcheng also knew the meaning of the strings, and he didn't mention this topic again, but just said some interesting things in the circle.

After drinking a pot of tea, Wei Yongcheng immediately said goodbye and left.

After returning to the hotel where he was staying, Wei Yongcheng called his two apprentices and brother-in-law to the room.

"The festival starts in a few days, you two practice hard, and when the time comes, as long as you do what I say, I can guarantee that you two will win the Chime Award."

"There is another thing, I have already found a place for Puhai's training class, and the enrollment will be handed over to you."

When Wei Yongcheng said this, he seemed to have seen a large number of banknotes waving at him.

However, for this music festival, Wei Yongcheng also invested a lot of money, and said that the box of tea bricks given to Ding Chuan was worth more than 100,000 yuan.

Moreover, in order to ensure that no one gossiped about him at the Chime Awards, he specially poached two performance talents from other places and claimed to be his apprentices.

Apprentices can win awards in the Chime Award, then his gold content as a master will be even higher, and the students in the training class will not have a lot of tricks at that time.

Now he's got everything in order, just waiting for the festival to begin.

Time, in a blink of an eye, it is the day of the music festival.

He Luting Concert Hall is full every day these days.

The first three days of the festival were held exclusively for distinguished guests invited by the program committee.

On the first day, the Berlin Symphony Orchestra Chief Conductor Sieg, together with the Puhai Symphony Orchestra, brought a sonata, a symphony to the audience.

In the end, the top five conductors in the world, the musicians of the Puhai Symphony Orchestra, under his conduct, played the two pieces very well and won warm applause from the audience.

The second day was a special session with Juilliard professors, and the third day was a panel discussion with Gramophone columnist Evant.

After three days, it was finally time for the festival's main program day, the folk music session.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the program list was announced.

"It's coming, it's coming, the protagonist is finally going to appear."

", the weekend turned out to be the finale, does the folk music circle seem to attach great importance to him."

"Why don't I think it's a good thing, after the finale performance, the Chime Award will be presented immediately, and the judges will definitely be more harsh on the finale show at that time."

"That's right, I forgot that there is also the Chime Award, if this is not won on the weekend, then it will not be trampled into the mud by the people in the folk music circle?"

""A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix"? How could you come up with this tune at a music festival on the weekend? ”

"What's wrong with this tune? Let's explain it to a big guy. ”

"There's nothing wrong with the song, it's just a very ordinary folk suona song, even if he can blow ten kinds of bird sounds, it's difficult to win the Chime Award."
