Chapter 471: The cooperation between Wang Mo and Xilou, the impact of music + literature!
on stage.
Wang Mo closed his eyes and thought for a while.
Everyone thought he was adjusting his breathing, but in fact, he was looking for the right story and music in the system store.
Such stories are easy to find.
In less than a minute, Wang Mo opened his eyes, and he looked at the staff next to him: "Guzheng!" ”
"Yes."
The staff nodded hurriedly, and then began to prepare to carry the guzheng up.
At this time.
Wang Mo spoke to the audience again: "Next, I will play a guzheng song." This piece is also based on a story written by the West Building. ”
"Tell me quickly, what's the story?"
"Can you tell the story first? Listening to music this way is more immersive. ”
"Ahhhh
"Yes, tell the story first, then listen to the music."
"There's a story, there's music...... Brothers, I'll go and order the wine first, the night was perfect. ”
Wang Mo glanced at the referee next to him, and after getting a positive look, he smiled and said, "Since everyone wants to hear the story, then I'll tell you about it." This story is called 'Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai'. ”
Offstage.
The celebrities gradually quieted down, their eyes fixed on him.
In the live broadcast room, netizens also showed curious expressions.
"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?"
"Sounds like a strange name."
"This is the first time I've heard a Chinese story."
"I don't know how."
Wang Mo has already begun to tell the story: "In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhujiazhuang's Zhuyuan family had a daughter named Zhu Yingtai, who liked poetry and literature since she was a child, and wanted to study abroad......"
He spoke English, after all, this time his purpose was to make the international public like Chinese music, and if he spoke Mandarin, it would naturally add a barrier to people who couldn't understand Huaxia.
As for the Chinese compatriots who can't understand English?
There is a simultaneous translator in the live broadcast room, don't panic.
When telling the story, he superimposed a BUFF on himself: literati temperament.
In the eyes of everyone, he suddenly became polite, gentle, and knowledgeable on the stage. The story came out of his mouth, and many people quickly listened to it.
When they heard that Liang Shanbo didn't know that Zhu Yingtai was a woman, many people were a little anxious.
When they heard that Zhu Yingtai was forcibly married to Taishou's son by his father, everyone was even more impetuous.
Until the back......
The two eloped.
Liang Shanbo was tragically killed in the pursuit of the manhunt, and Zhu Yingtai jumped into the grave with his martyrdom.
Hearing this, both the audience and netizens were teary-eyed.
But what happened later made everyone's hearts mourn: the sky was stormy and thunderstormy. When the thunderstorm stopped, two butterflies fluttered in front of the tomb, as if they were the incarnations of Yingtai and Shanbo. The infatuated lovers are finally reunited after death, and turn into butterflies, dancing in the world, never separated.
Wang Mo's voice was not loud, but it was like a giant bell crashing into the depths of everyone's hearts.
When I heard that the two of them had turned into butterflies and would never be separated, I don't know how many emotionally fragile girls' tear glands burst the embankment, and tears soaked their clothes. Even many of the men had slightly red eyes.
What is the situation in the world?
Straight to teach life and death?
The barrage was almost gone, and most netizens were immersed in this sad story and were deeply touched.
Only a few netizens are sighing:
"What a poignant love story."
"Oh my God, in the end, the two of them turned into butterflies, so touching, right?"
"My heart breaks when I think about that image."
"Woo, why did you let me hear such a touching love story?"
"Loyal love."
"The West Building is really still the West Building, such a poignant and moving love story, only he can write it."
"Isn't the West House a fairy tale writer? How can you write a love story so well? Oh my God, that pair of lovers really touched my heart. ”
“……”
Just when everyone's hearts are fluctuating.
"Ding Ding Ding ~~~"
The melody of a guzheng broke the silence of the scene.
It is so beautiful and beautiful that many people are immediately attracted by the performance of the guzheng when they have not yet recovered from the impact of the story.
Wang Mo had already played the guzheng gently.
A famous song of Chinese through the ages, known as the pinnacle of guzheng music: "Liang Zhu"!
The timbre of the guzheng is soft and mellow, like a tender woman telling her heart, just like the shyness and innocence of first love.
The audience seemed to hear the picture of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai meeting for the first time in the academy.
The eyes of the two were intertwined.
At that moment, the girl's Zhu Yingtai had deep feelings for Liang Shanbo.
This kind of artistic conception makes many people fascinated by it.
This is why Wang Mo wants to tell the story first, if he directly plays the guzheng song "Liang Zhu", not to mention the audience in Europe and the United States, even the people of China will not be able to hear what kind of story from the melody. Except for the beauty of this guzheng song, there is no other feeling.
But now it's different.
After listening to the poignant love story of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".
Hearing Wang Mo's performance again at this moment, almost everyone naturally substituted themselves into that heartbreaking eternal love.
"It's a terrible feeling."
"It's breathtakingly beautiful."
"Oh my God, did Wang Mo really write that poignant story into music?"
"The point is that it's so beautiful."
“……”
Zhao Shu sat in the audience.
At this moment, the eyes of countless people looked at him, some shocked, some envious, and some incredible.
These people even include music masters such as Simon and Romando. They didn't expect Wang Mo to be so bewitching that he really wrote a poignant story into music, and wrote it so appropriately.
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhao Shu spread his hands and said that he didn't know.
Yes, he didn't know at all, and even at the moment others were confused.
Because in the previous planning, there was no such story and music at all, but I didn't expect Wang Mo to come to such a big event after being shouted to the stage by everyone.
How much music does this guy have in his head?
He was sure that in the huge backpack that Hao Mingxing was carrying, there was no guzheng song "Liang Zhu" at all. So it is most likely taken out of Wang Mo's mind temporarily.
Fortunately, other people don't know, otherwise I'm afraid it will set off a storm again.
But what is certain is that Wang Mo did this with good results.
Because Zhao Shu saw the shocked expressions of the celebrities at the scene, and saw their inner shock and admiration for Chinese music.
"If you know that Wang Mo and Xilou are the same person, you will probably be even more shocked."
Zhao Shuxin said.
On the stage, Wang Mo is still playing passionately.
At this moment, the music began to become excited, like a mountain waterfall roaring down, majestic.
Obviously, this is to describe the process of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai knowing and falling in love, the jump and excitement of the melody show their emotional enthusiasm and unrestrainedness, enthusiasm and pursuit of love.
Someone listened intoxicated.
Some people sighed.
Someone secretly praised: "It's so beautiful that it's intoxicating, especially the timbre of the guzheng instrument is too consistent with the artistic conception." ”
Finally.
The melody of the third stanza began to sound, becoming low and melancholy, as desolate as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
The audience nodded secretly, and their hearts became melancholy.
They knew that this section was about the pain of two people who were in trouble and forced to separate. The performance of the guzheng becomes heavy and mournful, and every note is like a drop of tears, telling endless sadness.
"Tear-jerking."
"I cried."
"I cried too."
“……”
The poignant melody became more and more muffled, making people seem to see the scene of Zhu Yingtai bidding farewell to Liang Shanbo, and the pain in his heart was released along with the music, and the whole opera house was filled with sadness.
The story is touching.
The music is devastating.
When the story and music are combined, the impact on people is almost exponentially superimposed.
At this time, the melody suddenly became high again, like a phoenix reborn.
Wang Mo's performance also seemed to be poured into all emotions, and the moving melody almost overwhelmed everyone's mind.
In a trance, everyone seemed to see the picture of this pair of lovers flying like butterflies and never parting.
The melody flowing from Wang Mo's fingertips became more and more high-pitched, as if cheering for their love, and moving by the ending of this pair after experiencing life and death, and finally turning into butterflies together.
At the end of the music.
The melody slowly falls, slowly dissipating like a sunset, leaving people with endless reverie.
The melody of the guzheng is also soft and long, and then gradually disappears into the void.
The end of the song!
Wang Mo took off the fake nails he was wearing, and as soon as he stood up, he heard roaring applause from the audience.
Even if it's Zhao Shu.
Even if he is a member of the Chinese music delegation.
At this moment, he also burst into tears, and while applauding, he looked at Wang Mo's figure on the stage, his eyes full of light.
"That's so good!"
"Brother Mo is too godly."
"The story of the West Building is well written, and Wang Mo's music is wonderful. The combination of the two is a myth. ”
"It's no worse than the story of 'Evan and Isabella'."
"Yes, it's definitely comparable to the story of 'Evan and Isabella'."
Evan and Isabella are a couple of lovers in the West, they are from the great writer Vincent's "The Fog City", and their influence on the blue star is almost the same as Romeo and Juliet on Earth.
Therefore, it is enough to compare Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai with the couple of Evan and Isabella, which is enough to see how shocked the hearts of European and American netizens are.
Even Simon exclaimed, "Amazing! From the instrument to the player, from the story to the music, it's all perfect. The timbre of the guzheng is no worse than that of the piano, coupled with its unique oriental characteristics, so that the melody it plays naturally has a special touch of ancient oriental charm, which is evocative. And this "Liang Zhu" is a vivid interpretation of the love story between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and each melody is like a well-designed scene, making us feel like we are in the story. Experiencing joys, sorrows, and sorrows with the people in the story. So it's no exaggeration to say that when story and music are combined, the charm of their bloom is almost irresistible. ”
Extremely highly rated.
The ultimate accolade.
It can be said that with Simon's words, the Chinese guzheng will definitely become famous in the international community in the future, even if it can't be compared with the piano, but at least it can become famous internationally.
Wang Mo cast a grateful look at Simon.
He knew that just by virtue of Simon's words, he owed the other party a favor.
However, just playing a song "Liang Zhu" obviously will not satisfy the audience.
When he landed, there was another huge cry at the scene.
"Keep playing!"
"Keep telling the story!"
"I still want to listen, Master Wang Mo, is there still a story? Is there still music? ”
“……”
I saw the enthusiastic scene in the audience.
Of course, Wang Mo struck while the iron was hot, and said loudly: "Yes!" ”
"Ahhh
"There really is!"
"It's so exciting."
"It's still Master Wang Mo's energy, what I don't like the most is the kind of step-by-step performance, Master Wang Mo's way of playing is interesting enough."
“……”
The cheers in the audience subsided slightly, Wang Mocai smiled, and suddenly asked a question: "In our lives, what friends do you think are the most important?" ”
When he landed, a bunch of people spoke.
"A friend from the heart."
"Righteous friend."
"A friend who can solve his own problems."
"A friend who knows how to be grateful."
“……”
Each has its own answer.
Wang Mo nodded: "What you said is actually right. But in the eyes of us musicians, what friends are the most important? I think I'm sure the vast majority of musicians have one answer: confidant.
Yes, a confidant is the most important.
If there is such a person, he knows the rhythm, he can understand the mood of his performance, and he can empathize with each of his works. As long as you play any music, the other person will be able to hear what you think from the music immediately. May I ask such a bosom friend, do you want it? ”
The celebrities who came to the scene today are basically celebrities who like music.
Plus the musical delegations of various countries.
So it can be said that except for some staff members and reporters, everyone else is basically musicians.
Hearing Wang Mo's words, many people's eyes lit up.
Especially a group of people who make a living from music have become more enthusiastic in their hearts.
"How else can you have a friend like that?"
"If there is one person in my life who can fully understand my thoughts, death is enough."
"Such a confidant can't exist in the world, right?"
Even Simon and Roman and others have yearning in their eyes: "A confidant who can hear what he thinks from his own music, such a person can't exist, right?" If there really is such a confidant, it will definitely be the most desired friend in my life as a musician. ”
There was a pause.
Simon's expression was suddenly stunned: "Mr. Wang Mo, what does it mean when you say such a thing?" ”
It's still Simon's old boy on the road!
Wang Mo liked this old man more and more.
He snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, a while ago, the West Building told such a story about a confidant. ”
"Huh?"
"Speak quickly!"
"What's the story?"
Wang Mo took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the staff: "Guqin!" ”
"Okay."
The staff understood and immediately took the stage to remove the guzheng and at the same time moved a guqin up.
Taking advantage of this time, Wang Mo has already started his story: "This is a story called 'Boya and the Child Period'. ”
His voice became rich and magnetic: "Boya is an excellent luthier, his voice is melodious and beautiful, and he is able to express all kinds of emotions and scenes. However, deep down he has always longed to find a soulmate who can truly understand his piano sound......"
"Finally, one day he met the child."
"The Boya drum and piano are aimed at the high mountains, and Zhong Ziqi said: 'Good, E's Exi is like Mount Tai.'" ”
"Boya is determined to flow water, and Zhong Ziqi said: 'Good, like a river.' ”
Hear here.
Ordinary people didn't feel it very much.
But a group of musicians have a yearning in their eyes, is there really such a person in the world who understands his heart?
If so, how exciting it would be!
In this way, the two formed a life-and-death friendship. But during the war, the two were forced to separate. After a long time, Boya went to visit Ziji, only to learn that Ziji had died of illness. Boya was overwhelmed with grief when he heard this, and he ran to the grave of the child and played a song full of nostalgia and sorrow. At the end of the song, Boya cut the strings, threw his beloved piano out, and vowed not to touch the piano again for the rest of his life. Because he felt that no one in the world understood his music anymore......"
Wang Mo's rhythm of storytelling is very good.
The story told made everyone at the scene very addicted.
When they finally heard that Boya had broken the strings of the piano because of his childhood, and he would never touch the piano again for the rest of his life, many people chuckled in their hearts and their expressions became complicated.
"This is the real confidant, right?"
"How happy it is to have a bosom friend, but how painful it is for a bosom friend to leave!"
"Another unforgettable story."
"If I can have such a soulmate, I will be content for the rest of my life."
“……”
Many people listened with emotion.
End of story.
Wang Mo had already sat down in front of the guqin and said softly: "This song 'Mountains and Flowing Water' is playing the friendship between Boya and Ziji, please listen to ......"
The sound of the guqin rang out.
When facing the challenge of the eleven countries, Wang Mo didn't come up with "mountains and flowing water", he felt that those tunes such as singing the night with a fishing boat and ambush on all sides were enough to kill the other party in seconds.
And as the "high mountains and flowing water" that can be called the first musical song in China, there is no need to take it out at all.
But today, in this world-class night of temple music.
In order to promote the musical heritage of China, Wang Mo finally began to open Wang Bang!
Yes, for him, this guqin song is like a king bomb that can crush everything.
Although many people can't tell the difference between a guzheng and a guqin.
But the two instruments are actually very different.
One: the guzheng needs to wear false nails, and the guqin does not need to.
Second: the sound of the guzheng is crisp and loud, and the sound of the guqin is simple and elegant.
Third: the guqin has only 7 strings, but the guzheng has more than 20 strings.
At this moment, with the simple and gentle melody of the guqin, everyone was immediately attracted by its distant and elegant artistic conception.
"Huh? This is the Chinese guqin? ”
"It looks more like a guzheng, but the artistic conception is completely different."
"Yes, the guzheng seems to be more suitable for nobility, but the guqin is more restrained."
"Shouldn't it be this tune? It's so beautiful! ”
“……”
Yes, to the ears of many musicians who have studied music, they immediately perceive that this song "Mountains and Flowing Water" is unusual, quiet but not far-reaching, elegant and unassuming.
In the history of China, the guqin was generally used for self-entertainment, and the guzheng was performed externally. Therefore, the guqin is generally used to play by oneself or with friends.
At this moment, Wang Mo's performance almost completely expresses this artistic conception.
In a trance.
There was an old man playing the harp, and a woodcutter next to him was admiring.
One person plays, one person appreciates.
Bosom friend.
Bosom friend.
This kind of artistic conception has made many musicians stupid.
"The mood is absolutely amazing."
"It seems to be even better than "Liang Zhu" just now."
"Oh my God, this kind of music, combined with the story just now, really makes me feel like I'm trembling."
"This song sounds so comfortable."
“……”
In fact, Wang Mo's story is only secondary, his main purpose is to make people like guqin and Chinese music.
Over time.
He started to show off his skills!
Various fingering techniques such as overtones, rolling, whisking, squirting, note, up, and down, show the artistic conception of mountains and flowing water to the fullest, and the superb strength stunned everyone.
The sound of the piano seems to turn into a waterfall between the mountains, flowing down from the deep mountains, through the silent forest, looming between the mountains and mountains, and the sound of thunder penetrates the forest. But in the end, it flowed into a deep pool, turned into a silent spring, and slowly disappeared into the distance along the stream.
Music professionals have long been conquered by the powerful artistic conception of this piece. Recalling the bosom friend story that Wang Mo said before, there was a kind of goosebumps throbbing all over his body.
As for ordinary people, at this moment, they have completely followed the sound of the piano and entered the realm of forgetting things and themselves. Many of them closed their eyes with intoxicated expressions on their faces, apparently enjoying themselves.
In the live broadcast room, there are countless barrages.
"I love the sound of the guqin."
"I fell in love with the guzheng just now, and now I fall in love with the guqin."
"It turns out that there are so many good musical instruments in Huaxia, oh my God, I'm going to be obsessed with this country."
"Buy, buy, buy! Buy them all. ”
“……”
It wasn't until Wang Mo stopped playing that everyone showed a stunned expression.
Especially people in the music industry, this time it was an eye-opener.
It turns out that when music and literature are combined, they can burst out with such an incredible appeal.
Two stories, two songs, the chemistry they produce when they combine is far more than the impact of simply playing the music.
Feeling the poignant love between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, listening to the acquaintance between Boya and Ziji, and listening to the two songs, the throbbing in their hearts was something they had never felt before.
"It's an eye-opener."
"I didn't expect the combination of literature and music to be so wonderful."
"Wang Mo has created a new way of playing and listening to music."
"I'm sure that every International Music Palace Night in the future will have this kind of story + music performance form."
"Needless to say? A must have! ”
"It's really such a combination, it's too lethal. I feel that when I see a pair of butterflies flying in the future, I will think of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the poor lovers. ”
Even the referees seemed to be taken aback.
In fact, telling a story at a music festival is not in accordance with the regulations. It's just that Wang Mo's prestige is too high now, so they agreed to each other's request, but they didn't expect that a mistake would open up a new path for Wang Mo in performance.
"Perhaps, in the next music festival, you can consider joining this kind of performance......"
Several referees listened to the discussion in the audience, looked at each other, and had an idea in their hearts.
And at this moment, Wang Mo is also thinking about one thing: he has occupied the stage for almost half an hour and can't stay any longer.
He has fulfilled his mission.
Presumably, at this moment, many audiences around the world will fall in love with Chinese music because of their stories and tunes.
That's enough.
So, he didn't need to continue acting.
He's going to devote more time to the later performances.
Because according to the current performances, Huaxia's performance on a single instrument is sufficient, and only large-scale performances remain.
Large-scale performances are the ultimate factor in whether China can win the "hometown of music".
That being the case!
Then get ready for the big show! (End of chapter)
