I have to say that the subject matter that Mr. Wei Xia gave herself is indeed quite good.

Integrate folk culture, intangible cultural heritage, and martial arts, and present a story that many people don't know but should know in the form of dance dramas.

Sanyuanli resisted the British.

The locals, the Cantonese, know quite a lot, and for the locals they try it even more.

But in fact, Huaxia is too big, and for many northerners, they really don't know that there is anything else in this regard.

It's as if some friends in the south have only heard about it and occasionally glimpsed it in history, but it wasn't until they went to Erbin that they could clearly understand how far a certain bacteriological unit had destroyed humanity.

There are many things that should not be forgotten, and many things that should be widely publicized.

Originally, the lion dance in the south originated from sacrifices, so in the name of "auspicious rui", at first, this sport was called "rui lion".

In Cantonese, "rui" is the same as "sleep".

In the face of the invaders, the lion turned into a waking lion.

This is the echo of history in the changes of folk art, and history has also given art a unique meaning.

Li Jinglin really wanted to start the creation of this work.

But.

The biggest feature of Chinese is that it has a tone.

Tone is the change in the pitch of a language.

The Chinese people themselves don't think so, but in fact, to the ears of some foreigners, the Chinese people speak like they are singing.

Generally speaking, as long as Mandarin is spoken well and the tone is clear and clear, then the perception of music will be higher.

Tone, that is, the difference in pitch, can be simulated by the pitch of the scale in music.

The tone of Chinese is generally a customary fifth.

The tones of Middle Chinese are generally flat, up, go, and enter, and the four tones are divided into yin and yang.

With the development of dynasties, the people of the Central Plains moved north and south, each retaining different tonal characteristics, which formed a dialect.

If it goes from low to high, it is marked as 12345 according to the fifth-degree notation.

Then, the Northeast dialect is 213, so it sounds a bit 213.

The Northeast dialect is very similar to the 214 in Mandarin, which is why many Northeast people feel that their sister has an accent.

On the other hand, Cantonese.

There are three kinds of voices alone.

Nine tones and six tones, this is the reason why Cantonese is often used by ancient Chinese researchers for research.

And Li Jinglin, as a scholar in music, naturally knows better.

Many folk songs, folk music, the direction of their music must also be in line with the characteristics of the local language.

The two of them have a Northeast accent, and Cantonese songs are very strange if they are literally Mandarin.

In the ears of the audience, it is easy to have the feeling of "this is soulless".

Even if some Cantonese songs, in order to accommodate the change of musical scale, forcibly change the tone of this sentence, it will sound quite unauthentic to the ears of Cantonese people.

Not only is it weird, but it's also easy to listen to the split, and the empty ear becomes other content.

The reason why Li Jinglin's previous song "Wild Wolf" sounded quite magical in plastic Cantonese was precisely because although it seemed to be Cantonese, it was actually the pronunciation logic of Northeast dialect, and those who could speak Cantonese and those who couldn't speak Cantonese were silent.

Even if it's the creation of pop music.

It is also necessary to follow the logic of the language.

Unless it's a matter of idleness, spoofing, and playing something fun and innocuous at all.

Otherwise, it is certain to follow the logic of the language.

What's more, this work is still relatively serious, and you can't fool around in this kind of work.

Even.

To write a story in Sanyuanli, you have to study Cantonese in Sanyuanli, but if you do Hong Kong-style Cantonese, it will sound thunderous in the ears of the locals.

This is really not a question of hypocrisy.

Just think about it.

Someone made a work from your hometown, but the dialect they spoke was not from your hometown, but the dialect next door.

Even if the two dialects are very similar, they will be the same to outsiders.

This is even suspected of doing something.

"Oh no, I never thought that it wasn't the music itself that trapped me in creating, but the dialect."

Li Jinglin began to scratch his head.

The brows were a little tighter.

Li Jinglin has studied language, otherwise, when he composed the music in Old Norse for "Valhalla", it would not have been so smooth.

But for northerners, learning Cantonese is more than a step more difficult than learning a foreign language.

At least, when I first learned a foreign language, I really didn't understand anything, but when I learned Cantonese, I would often talk and talk on stage.

"Don't think about it yet, let's go around Sanyuanli."

Just go.

Li Jinglin boarded the plane to Guangdong almost two hours later.

After all, what you learn from books can only be practiced by seeing and experiencing it yourself.

There are at least two or three days left before Luo Shiyao's review is over, and we won't see each other during this time anyway, so it's better to go to the Sanyuanli Anti-British Memorial Hall to have a look.

Don't waste any time!

Li Jinglin fell asleep directly on the plane.

At this time, Wei Xia was calling Li Jinglin.

Frowning and listening to the sound on the phone.

"Why is this still off?"

muttered.

Wei Xia sorted out the documents in her hand.

There are many themes in the document.

It's just that because the sorting has not yet been completed, I picked a sorted theme and sent it to Li Jinglin, so that Li Jinglin could take a look at it and talk about it first, and then, after the follow-up themes were sorted out, make some comparisons, and then make a decision.

But it's only been one day, and the phone can't get through.

So, Wei Xia had to send the rest of the documents to Li Jinglin.

It's been a long wait.

Until dinner in the evening, Wei Xia saw that Li Jinglin had not replied, so she tentatively made another phone call.

This time it was connected.

"Hello? Mr. Li, where are you? ”

"Huh? I'm in the ternary. ”

Li Jinglin got off the plane and started to catch the car.

This has just been settled in the Julong Hotel in Sanyuanli Village.

It's a nice location next to the metro station and on the other side with direct access to the memorial.

"What?!"

Wei Xia exclaimed.

Li Jinglin said a place that Wei Xia didn't dare to think of.

"Sanyuanli, what's wrong? It's to Guangdong. ”

Li Jinglin let out a long breath.

"It's a little late today, I'm going to walk around here now, and I'll go to the Memorial Park tomorrow."

“.”

Wei Xia was stunned.

Family, who knows.

If one didn't pay attention, this person went directly from the capital to Guangdong.

"Don't say it, it's fun to walk on the streets over here."

Li Jinglin's tone seemed to be quite happy.

"Walking on the streets of old Guangdong, on the right is the old Beijing cloth shoes, on the left is the old Shanghai wonton, and one day we will also open a shop near here, it will be called the old Northeast Malatang."

"Hahaha, I'm kidding, don't mind Teacher Wei Xia."

“.”

At this moment, Wei Xia even felt like she wanted to vomit blood.

"I'll interrupt you, Mr. Li."

You. Have you read your mailbox? ”

“.”

Li Jinglin was stunned.

It always feels as if something big is going to happen.

"I didn't see it."

“.”

Wei Xia really didn't know how to speak.

"Why don't you take a look at it first?"

"Oh, okay, I'll see right away."

Li Jinglin responded.

Scratched his head.

I didn't hang up the phone, pulled the call to the background, and clicked on my mailbox.

I don't know if I don't see it, but when I see Li Jinglin, I am directly stupid.

"Huh?"

“.”

"Huh?"

How could Li Jinglin not know what was going on!

It turns out that I will be wrong!

I originally thought that Teacher Wei Xia wanted to cooperate with me on this subject.

But she never expected that she wanted to throw out the project theme she had at hand to take a look at herself and let herself choose.

Isn't that, you say?

What am I doing here?

Drop thunder and stink, take a plane to make the sauce?

“.”

Li Jinglin clicked back on the call.

But he was suddenly embarrassed.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Jinglin smacked his lips.

"Teacher Wei Xia, I watched it."

"Well, I saw it."

Teacher Wei Xia was also a little numb and didn't know what to say

It's good to see it, it's good to see it.

"Do you have to create any of these subjects?"

Hearing that Li Jinglin's question was a bit similar to a forked question, Wei Xia suddenly felt a little less embarrassed.

"Well, it's almost, there are all over the country, all of them are works that need to be linked to the members of the entire Federation of Literary and Art Circles, generally speaking, local works are led by the locality, but if there are more tasks and other programs that need to be rehearsed at hand, in order not to waste creativity, these declarations will be sent up."

"Sometimes it's left to other creators to co-create and integrate resources, and sometimes it's left for a while and then started."

"That's right."

Li Jinglin pursed his lips and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go back and see."

See? What to watch?

It's coming.

It's impossible to run for nothing.

Originally, I didn't think about it that way, but now, it can be said that it is basically a must-do.

"Okay, we'll sum it up when the time comes."

"Uh-huh."

After hanging up the phone, Li Jinglin walked silently for a while.

I glanced at the unfamiliar streets around me.

"Forget it, what do you want to do so much."

Li Jinglin shook his head and took a sip of the milk tea in his hand.

"Drink tea first. That xiao long bao looks good."

Time flies.

And two days passed.

At this time, Li Jinglin had already returned to the capital.

The fast and short ultra-long-distance travel gave Li Jinglin a short-term sense of trance.

Although something happened in between.

But Li Jinglin, who returned to the capital, and Li Jinglin, who had just left the capital, had surprisingly the same thoughts.

Still think.

To do the creation of this dance drama "Awakening Lion".

Ideologically, there is no wavering at all.

In the past two days, Li Jinglin has a detailed and close understanding of the story of "resisting the British in Sanyuanli".

But this story is very different from the story imagined by Li Jinglin.

It seems that many details are full of a sense of disparity, but it is precisely because of this sense of disparity that Li Jinglin feels that it is quite necessary to turn it into a work of art.
