Li Chengfeng's casual decision to relax allowed him to finally master the use of the Wen Sheng Pen, and he later opened his mouth to help Qian Shanxue pierce the window screen paper, which was regarded as a reward.
I can't tell who of the two has the advantage.
Since she changed from solo singing to chorus, the form of the performance has changed tremendously, and the time of Chunlan Festival is not far away. Poppy knows that it is time to race against time to rehearse and practice, and her turbulent beginning In the midst of crazy searches and crazy rehearsals.
If you want to find a girl who is good at singing and dancing in a brothel, it is very easy. Even a maid here can sing twice and dance a few times. After all, those who are close to the red are red. But finding a group of men who can sing is not an easy task.
Because singing by ordinary people and dignitaries is a matter of expressing emotions and interest. Almost no one practices it specifically, and even fewer people make a living from it. After all... singers and musicians belong to the "low status". It is a job of serving people. Those who are ambitious will not practice it. However, most of those who make a living from it join the theater troupe and embark on another path of "singing and dancing".
"Master Li, this is indeed a good idea, but... in such a hurry, where can we find so many male singers?"
The poppy wrung her hands together and said nothing, her eyebrows furrowed. She was embarrassed to speak, so Chu Chu had to say it for her.
Qian Shanxue on the side raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said angrily: "I don't care where you find people from! I want a hundred male singers and fifty female singers! If you can't find anyone, this "General's Banquet" will Don’t even think about putting it on!”
The poppy's ability to climb from courtesan to oiran in Shenjing, and then from oiran to the top of the line, naturally does not rely on coquettishness and beauty. Anyone who climbs to the top of the line can be called the world's top artist. And these top artists all have one characteristic, that is: persistence and perseverance, and they cannot survive without going crazy.
It is precisely because she has unparalleled artistic talent and artistic appreciation that she knows how rare Qian Shanxue's talent is, and she is willing to give Qian Shanxue almost life-or-death power in the Beauty Building, and even herself Everyone must obey any arrangements and instructions Qian Shanxue makes at the "General's Banquet".
However, sometimes rigid conditions will restrict the expressive power of art. Poppy grew up in a brothel, and she knew very well that the men in the brothel were urinary people.
The people who make a living in brothels are either turtles, big teapots or thugs and guardians. These people are more than rude but not artistic enough. Anyone with some artistic talent will try their best to get out and join the theater troupe.
Let them go into a gambling house and yell, or you can barely select seven or eight of them who can speak. That would be okay, but... you have to pick a hundred...
Poppy thought it would be easier than selecting a thousand virgins from the brothel.
Mingzhu couldn't help but interjected: "Yeah, even if we can pick them out, I'm afraid it won't be enough time to train."
The musicians and dancers who were so excited before saying this sentence were all dejected. They are all people who understand music and art. Even if they have never tried it, they know that the most difficult part of this kind of chorus is: "tidy".
A band like them only has such a tacit understanding after many years of training together, and can be so unified that there will be no noise in the performance.
Even if a group of people are recruited temporarily without any training, and they all start talking together, it will definitely lead to chaos and chaos. Instead, it will become the most dragging scene in the whole play and the whole performance, and it will be criticized by people.
This is something that all those who have artistic pursuits here will absolutely not tolerate.
Seeing that there is a peerless treasure right in front of them, but they find that they are beyond their reach and cannot reach it. This feeling is really frustrating.
Just when everyone was in a low mood, Li Chengfeng, who was already preparing to leave, suddenly said, "There is a place to find it."
Poppy's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately said to Li Chengfeng: "Zhenren Li is really a genius. He not only knows how to practice, but also understands music. Thousands of artists have practiced art in my family. Thank you for your guidance to the future artists." On the altar, there must be the names of Zhenren Li and brother and sister Mingzhu!"
After saying that, she bowed down, and Chu Chu and others also followed suit. For a moment, the attic was solemn and solemn.
Li Chengfeng did not dodge and accepted their gift generously, because he knew that his words created a new form of artistic expression and at the same time brought a large number of employment opportunities to the art industry. It was equivalent to that he became a new person. He became the "ancestor" of some people in the art industry. Because of his words, these people gained a new way of making a living.
Li Chengfeng smiled and said: "The great road is invisible and the sound is loud. In fact, if you think about it, are there any places in the capital or even near the capital where many people gather, are well-trained, and often sing and shout?"
Everyone frowned when they heard this and thought hard. The little bell on the side suddenly clapped his hands: "Ah!"
Li Chengfeng looked at Xiao Lingdang and said with a smile: "It seems that Xiao Lingdang has already thought of it, yes, it is..."
Before Li Chengfeng could finish his words, Xiao Lingdang said happily: "It's Caishikou!!"
The smile on Li Chengfeng's face froze, and before he could speak, others started talking: "Caishikou? Those people selling vegetables and shouting?"
"Some people have good and bright voices."
"No, no, no, how can those crude and vulgar people understand such works of lyrics and music?"
"It's just that I recruited them in a hurry. I'm afraid it will take several months to train them to speak neatly and master the rhythm."
These people were chatting in low voices, and Li Chengfeng forced a smile and said: "Actually, it's not Caishikou..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Lingdang said angrily: "If it's not Caishikou, then where is it?"
Chu Chu thought for a while and whispered tentatively: "Could it be the Imperial Manor Garden?"
"There are a large number of tenant farmers working there every day, and most of them sing farm ballads and folk songs while farming, but..." Yu Meiren said with a wry smile, "These farmers are illiterate, don't understand music, and don't understand music theory. If they are trained, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to make it in time..."
In this brief experiment, everyone has discovered that the biggest problem in chorus is discipline and music theory.
The former ensures that the voices are uniform when speaking, and the voices of a hundred people sound like one voice. The latter ensures that the singing is full of emotion, the rhythm is in place, and the strength and weakness are reasonable. If these were written from scratch on a blank piece of paper, it would be really tiring for them. Everyone here is too late.
Li Chengfeng's head felt as big as a fight. He waved his hand and said, "No, I'm talking about... the military camp!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were all overjoyed.
Little Lingdang clapped her hands and said happily: "Oh, Li Chengfeng, how did you get such a head?"
Everyone was stunned, and then they were overjoyed: Yes, chanting is practiced every day in the military camp, especially the military songs. "General's Banquet" shows the story of soldiers on the battlefield, etc. They understand the passionate emotions and contents without having to teach them!
The best thing is that there are so many people in the military camp. It is possible to choose a hundred soldiers who are good at singing, right
Moreover, it is taboo to select people in the army, but for a leader like Poppy, who has great hands and eyes, complex relationships, and huge energy, this is actually a very simple matter!
After solving the last problem, the poppy respectfully sent Li Chengfeng out of the Beauty Building. After Li Chengfeng, Liu Sumei, and Xiao Lingdang returned to the pavilion garden, as soon as they entered the door, they saw Zhao Xiaobao rushing in sweating profusely. When he came out, he saw Li Chengfeng and immediately came up to him.
Li Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, "What happened?"
Zhao Xiaobao looked panicked and stammered: "Young Master, Yue, Sister Yuehan is missing!"
