Chapter 100: The change of Caifeng, a strong prelude
The format of the performance was the same as everyone expected, and due to the promotion of the drum, almost every song and dance troupe joined the men, taking the path of blood, and the uniform stage scene was also imitated.
However, for people who have been accustomed to watching the two pieces of war song and male self-improvement during this time, this kind of performance is not too attractive.
In the backstage rest area, Mo Hongxian was wondering, the previous performance form lasted for hundreds of years, but every year during the Spring Festival song and dance performance, she could watch it with relish, why did she have no previous feeling about the new form this year.
"Hehe!" Jiang Xingchen laughed and asked, "If you were asked to eat steamed buns three times a day a month, how would you feel!"
"Uh!" Mo Hongxian was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.
"Although the form of singing and dancing in the past was single, you always didn't watch it, and of course you watched it once in the New Year...... It is because of the long-term inertia caused by the fact that hundreds of years of single-form audiences have liked it, that the Caifeng Song and Dance Troupe ignored aesthetic fatigue and made continuous performances, otherwise they would have stopped a long time ago...... In the previous six performances a day, I was almost throwing up when I sang by myself!"
Hearing Jiang Xingchen's explanation, everyone suddenly realized. The old man even secretly slandered: "I said that your kid acted like this six times a day, and said that he wanted this wind to be more violent, it turned out that the idea of fighting was too cunning and insidious......"
One by one the song and dance troupes came down from the stage, their expressions were not good-looking, although they knew that they couldn't compete with Caifeng and Bauhinia, but the audience's reaction had to be more enthusiastic, but every song and dance troupe performed, the audience just applauded. It is no different from the Chinese New Year cabaret performances in previous years.
However, the audience's response was not enthusiastic. But the Emperor Qiankun and the imperial officials in the box on the second floor nodded their heads one after another, after all, they usually didn't have time to watch the songs and dances. This format is extremely new to them.
"This big drum invented by Jiang Xingchen is really good, and it can inspire people!" Emperor Qiankun commented.
"Yes, especially when used as a snare drum, it stimulates the momentum of the soldiers!" said the marshal.
"I've listened to this year's tracks, but I can't listen to the previous ones, hehe......" said the Chancellor with a smile.
Yuan Xixuan looked at the reactions of the emperor and other officials, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Wait for the Caifeng Song and Dance Troupe to come out in a while, and you will know what it means to be shocked!"
During the discussion in the box, the song and dance troupe finished performing one by one. It's finally time for Caifeng to appear.
The sound of plucking and playing together, the whole audience was attracted, and no one could describe it with exact onomatopoeia, only that it was like a pearl falling on a jade plate, refreshing.
Immediately after, the plucking of the strings became more and more urgent, and the scene of a mountain rain coming spontaneously arose in the audience's mind, and they couldn't help but hold their breath in their chests.
"It's changed!" the thought came to everyone's mind, and their spirits were shocked. The whole repertoire has been completely different from the previous performances. In the past, it was mainly based on the big drum and plucked to cooperate. But now it's plucking at the beginning, and it's clear that the whole track is already plucked.
In the backstage rest area, Jiang Xingchen was also stunned when he heard it: "Pipa." This is definitely a lute...... Listening to this playing, it's really a bit of an ambush on all sides!"
Gentle, Mo Hongxian. The second brother, Mei'er and the others all had solemn expressions. None of them expected that the Caifeng Song and Dance Troupe would make such a big change to the repertoire.
Jiang Xingchen glanced at everyone. smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous and don't have confidence in me?"
In a word, everyone immediately relaxed, Wan Rou and Mo Hongxian waved their hands disdainfully: "Cut~"
"Don't worry, our new instrument is definitely not worse than theirs! Sister Wanrou has been practicing for so long, isn't it clear?"
"Hmm!" Wanrou nodded vigorously and continued to listen to Caifeng's performance.
On the stage, the drum finally sounded, Yuan Hao was murderous, and he sang: "The soldiers died in a hundred battles, the horse leather shrouded was returned, and the life should be ......."
With his singing, the big man dressed as a hundred sergeants shouted in his mouth, holding a knife in his right hand, and walked forward step by step, each step of which made a huge vibration, which coincided with the beat of the drum.
At this time, the sound of plucking was even more urgent, as if urging the soldiers to speed up, and the strong killing atmosphere made the audience feel the same way.
In the box on the second floor, whether it was the emperor or the marshal, they couldn't help but nod frequently, although they were biased towards Jiang Xingchen in their hearts, but Caifeng's interpretation of this track was indeed outstanding, several times higher than the song and dance in front!
Feng Xuanzhang, the president of the Imperial Academy, stared at the stage and whispered: "I really can't imagine that they will mainly play pluck, and they will perform it so perfectly...... Jiang Xingchen, I'm afraid they ......"
Saying this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the Emperor Qiankun.
The drums stopped, the plucking continued, the previous momentum had been completed, and the battle began, listening to the messy but strong rhythmic sound seemed to bring the audience to the battlefield.
Immediately afterwards, the drums and singing resumed, the soldiers were like rainbows, and the audience was also enthusiastic.
Eventually, the sound of plucking faded away, the thunder of the drums went to the sky, and a great battle finally ended, and the audience exhaled with a breath held in their chests.
"Wow~" There was a thunderous applause, mixed with a few cheers.
"This year's New Year Song and Dance Awards, Caifeng has won!"
"yes! I thought their repertoire was the same as the one they performed before, but I didn't expect it to be so much changed!"
"With the plucking as the mainstay, the changes are big enough, but the effect is better!"
"yes, I just felt a little breathless......"
When the audience was discussing, the box on the second floor, the emperor, the marshal, the financial city, Feng Xuanzhang and others all applauded, and their mouths were wonderful.
Yuan Xixuan's face blossomed with a smile, and his eyes narrowed, although it is gratifying that his son Tongguò's performance has been promoted, it is even more important to be able to suppress Jiang Xingchen and retain the right to speak of traditional forces. Let's see, Jiang Xingchen is nothing more than this, it was luck before that he improved so quickly.
"It's the last one, let's see if the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe has any outstanding performances!" said Emperor Qiankun.
"Hmph, what good can they be, Zhuyu is in front, and they are just green leaves that set off the red flowers!" Yuan Xixuan said secretly in his heart.
Feng Xuanzhang smiled wryly. He is also not optimistic about Zijing, although Jiang Xingchen and Wanrou's strength is not said. But Caifeng's plucking performance is too good, and there is no possibility of surpassing it with that song of self-improvement.
Backstage lounge area. Jiang Xingchen and Wanrou stood up.
"Sister Wanrou, it's up to you!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"It's mainly up to your interpretation!" Wanrou responded with a smile.
"Smack!" the two raised their hands and slapped them in the air.
Subsequently, the song and dance troupe that had finished the performance was stunned, and they actually saw that Bauhinia had moved out a total of eight drums and sent them to the stage.
"There are so many drums, what are they going to play, have they also changed the repertoire?"
Yuan Hao, who had just stepped down, smiled disdainfully and said secretly: "Even if you put a hundred drums, it's useless...... Ugh!"
Before his thoughts fell, he saw Jiang Xingchen behind him, and the second brother walked out holding a large rectangular wooden box. There are also dense strings on it that resemble plucked strings.
"New instrument!" everyone's eyes lit up with a keen interest: "Now it's something to see!"
Yuan Hao and Wei Caixia were nervous, and couldn't help but glance at each other.
In the venue, when the audience saw the eight-sided drum, many people exclaimed: "What is Bauhinia doing here, is it possible that Wanrou wants to control the eight-sided drum!"
"Strange! Are they going to give up, what about the stage scene of 100 people?"
But immediately after, their attention was attracted by the second brother behind Jiang Xingchen. Again exclaimed: "What's that...... It's like a long box!"
"A new instrument, a new instrument for sure...... I didn't expect Bauhinia to hide so deeply, and I only showed the new instrument today!"
"Is this new instrument weird enough to make a nice sound?"
"It started right away. Just listen to it!"
In the box on the second floor, Feng Xuanzhang also showed a surprised expression, he didn't expect Jiang Xingchen to hide a new musical instrument.
And the opposite. Yuan Xixuan's face sank, and he scolded in his heart: "This soul is faint." It's so yin, it's so deep!"
Great. The marshal didn't know much about this, but they were a little surprised to hear the exclamations of the audience below......
The big drum was placed in a circle on the stage, and Wanrou, dressed in a fiery red, stood in the middle, while Jiang Xingchen set up the guzheng and sat in the back.
"Whew~" Wansoft let out a long breath, turned her head to glance at Jiang Xingchen, and the drumstick fell suddenly.
"Knock...... Knock knock knock...... Knock ......." A series of highly rhythmic drums sounded.
The drumsticks in Wanrou's hands played flowers, and her spinning body was like a flame, and the eight drums were under control.
"Wow...... ......"The guzheng plucked out a short and powerful beat, like a master with a knife, cutting down with a knife, and the people were shocked to hear.
The audience was instantly seized by this short and powerful voice, and couldn't help but be engaged.
In this piece, Jiang Xingchen used the prelude of Jay Chou in Huo Yuanjia's song, just to give the audience an instant impact!
Immediately after, Wanrou slapped the drumsticks with both hands on the drum surface, held a flower in her right hand, and a small horizontal flute was placed horizontally around her mouth, and the loud and melodious tune was connected.
In the original song, it was originally an erhu, but when there was no one, it was changed to a transverse flute, and the effect was just as good.
After that, Jiang Xingchen plucked his hands continuously, the speed became faster and faster, and this pipa was also replaced by a guzheng.
With the continuous impact of a strong sense of rhythm, the audience has not fully recovered from Caifeng's battle song, and they are once again aroused to the point of turmoil and unstable feelings.
It wasn't until Jiang Xingchen's zither sound decreased and turned into flowing water that the audience's feelings slowly recovered.
And at this time, they suddenly realized that Bauhinia was not playing a man's self-improvement, and in an instant, both the audience and the song and dance troupe in the background showed an incredible color.
Feng Xuanzhang in the box on the second floor immediately ordered to bring the performance list, only to see that Bauhinia's repertoire was written with four words: Laughing proud of the rivers and lakes! (to be continued......)
