The two commentators in Zhongzhou were so green-eyed!
The audience barrage in the live broadcast room reached a climax instantly!
"Oh My God!"
"Why is it this fish again?"
"The ghost is lingering, omnipresent, and can penetrate any hole!"
"Didn't the anchor say before that this fish can only compose piano music, and even that it only has a few piano pieces?"
"Then what is the Erhu of these past two days!?"
"What are these flute instruments now?!"
"What the commentator said is bullshit. I've been slapped in the face by Xianyu so many times these days. Besides pop songs, this fish can play more than one instrument, okay?"
“Isn’t the most bizarre thing the name of this piece?”
"home?"
"landscape?"
"It can't be said to be exactly the same, but it can be said to be completely consistent!"
"Teacher Ito Makoto, please promise me that you will help Nakasu achieve revenge!"
revenge!
Revenge must be taken!
If it is a song project, it is normal to have similar genres and themes.
For example, the popular group competition.
Almost all of them are love songs.
However, in the instrumental group, it is rare to have the same theme, let alone the two songs that entered the finals. Not only did they both choose the Blue Star Flute, but even the titles were exactly the same!
What a coincidence!
This is the biggest coincidence that happened on the Blue Music Club stage.
And this coincidence happened to be related to Xianyu who showed off his musical talent through erhu music in the past two days!
In various backgrounds.
The two songs form a subtle contrast!
Thoughts of revenge immediately filled the minds of the Central Plains audience!
For Zhongzhou audiences, every encounter with Xianyu means a battle of revenge!
Zhongzhou has won so many gold medals, but still can't do anything about this fish. This has almost become a concern for countless Zhongzhou people!
The only cure is to kill the fish!
Some Central China viewers have even started praying in their hearts.
…
On stage.
Qinzhou contestant Lu Yanan was focused and slowly picked up the Blue Star Flute.
The silver color of the Blue Star Flute is similar to Earth's ocarina, but it is more expressive and covers more octaves.
Amidst everyone’s weird expressions.
The sound of flowing water suddenly came to mind.
As if coming from a deep and silent forest.
This is the introduction to the song, serving as background accompaniment.
In single instrument competitions, there are certain restrictions on the proportion of accompaniment sounds, but it is impossible to limit it completely. Otherwise, the sound expression of a single instrument will not be strong enough, which will damage the integrity of the song. This rule is still very humane. After all, a singer's singing duel cannot be just a cappella. There must always be accompaniment and arrangement to assist.
The sound of running water echoed in the empty valley.
The two sounds seemed to echo each other from a distance.
The thunderous bass hits the beginning of every strong beat, as if clearing away all the mist.
The sound of the Blue Star Flute rang out.
Everything is so harmonious and natural.
It is so natural that it makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.
This moment.
Everyone's expression changed.
And in the instant of change, the sound of the Blue Star Flute seemed to penetrate into everyone's heart, like the heavenly music from childhood.
Someone gently closed his eyes.
It was as if everyone had entered a strange yet familiar dream, and their thoughts could not help but float away.
…
Is that the depth of memory
Like a mountain breeze blowing towards you.
There are traces of birds flying in the blue sky.
The bamboo forest sways gently in the mountain breeze.
The lush colors are filled with the sweet scent of earth and flowers.
The theory that great music must be simple is timeless. The chords of the traditional pentatonic scale seem to naturally fit the ears of all human beings, as if to awaken certain scenery hidden in the heart that is always remembered:
The music is melodious.
Like the whistle of a mountain.
Like a murmur in a deep valley.
The clouds in the sky are continuous and affectionate.
The curl of smoke from the cooking stove is long and lingering.
People seemed to be guided back to their hometown:
In my innocent childhood, the green rice swaying in the sun and the croaking of frogs in the rice fields are still so familiar.
Barefoot.
Children run in the fields, letting the mud splash on their faces, accompanied by the bored cicadas chirping in the shade of the trees;
Under the trees.
The clear stream flows slowly, as if it can reach far away.
The sunlight shining through the leaves was fragmented and mottled, and stars dotted on the dirty clothes.
So melodious.
And so sad.
People walking on the road.
As time goes by, you grow up.
As we walked, we got farther away.
There is a true meaning in this, but I have forgotten the words to express it.
I don't know when the sunlight stopped being mottled and just lengthened the shadows of people.
The sun rises and the moon sets.
The wanderer of the world.
Tourists outside.
Besides the tired appearance, there is also the endless voice in the heart.
Only when I look back suddenly, I can still vaguely see the scenery of my hometown.
The pressure of life seemed to be relieved at this moment. In the steel forest of the city, people who were used to disguised themselves smiled again.
Mountains and flowing water.
Insects chirp and frogs croak.
The small courtyard at the entrance of the village.
Such a hometown does not belong to everyone, but it seems that everyone has owned it, because it is the hometown of the heart.
…
The Blue Star Flute suddenly rose an octave.
The intensity of violins and percussion instruments suddenly increased.
The audience's hearts seemed to fly away with the blue sky and white clouds, and their emotions exploded in the uninterrupted main melody.
The climax of the song comes suddenly and naturally.
It’s like the pervasive nostalgia has cleansed the vicissitudes of life in people’s hearts.
This is the original scenery of my hometown.
It is also an ink painting of life.
Sadness wanders peacefully and comfortably.
People can no longer tell whether it is sadness or joy.
Or maybe it's just an indescribable feeling, lingering faintly in my heart.
If you say...
Makoto Ito's "Landscape of Hometown" brings people back to their hometown.
However, Xianyu's "Original Scenery of Hometown" makes hometown a similar vague concept.
Perhaps people also thought of their hometown.
But there are obviously many good memories about my hometown, yet people can't remember anything clearly.
It's just hazy and ignorant, relieved and sad.
It seems to still be there.
It seemed to be gone again.
Revisiting the old place feels like a lifetime ago.
…
Living in crowded and noisy cities, people gradually become restless and forget the tranquility and leisure that belongs to the soul.
But at this moment.
Something seemed to be reawakened.
When the music ended, there was already a wave of applause.
Core coaching teams from each continent.
All the Qu dads clapped their hands silently.
And in the Zhongzhou live broadcast room.
The audience seemed to remain relatively calm.
But behind this calmness, certain emotions were boiling and surging in my heart and eventually exploded.
“Lose!”
"It's like this again."
"I really can't win!"
"Why is it always the same? Our players, our teacher Makoto Ito, are so outstanding!"
"I'm a little bit pisciphobic now, too."
"Although I don't want to admit it, this song really touched my heart."
"It makes me want to cry."
"It's not just fish phobia anymore, I'm now a fish envy PTSD patient!"
"Popular songs are fine, but why is he so skilled in composing musical instruments? Whether it's the erhu or flute competition, the works he puts out are so powerless that they make people despair."
The two commentators looked at each other and spoke with difficulty:
"This person is too terrifying. If we want to defeat such an opponent, we need to wait a little longer."
"Perhaps we shouldn't dwell too much on the losses to Xianyu. After all, Zhongzhou is number one in the gold medal list, right?"
I really don’t want to admit:
Then Zhongzhou, who has the most gold medals in the Blue Music Club, seems to have no way to deal with this fish.
…
Matsushima Yu sighed.
Ito Makoto sighed at the same time.
"If I remember correctly, have we seen this episode?"
"I didn't expect to meet him, and I didn't expect that I would lose to him again, and in this way."
“That’s good.”
Songdao Yu forced a smile: "Although it's different from what I imagined, but in the end it's you who is with me again."
"Actually, I wasn't convinced last time."
Ito Makoto smiled bitterly: "But this time I am really convinced."
"I understand. Your mood right now is exactly the same as when I just listened to the song "Erquan Yingyue"."
“This person is horrible.”
"I suddenly feel that being in the top ten of Blue Star might not be a joke."
"They clearly don't feel that way."
"They will understand."
The conversation between the two people suddenly stopped tacitly, and they sighed at the same time again.
Because the flute and wind instrument competition is over.
Qinzhou contestant Lu Yanan won the championship with "Original Scenery of Hometown" created by Xianyu.
…
Qinzhou live broadcast room.
The audience’s celebrations have already filled the screen!
"I got my second championship today!"
"Musical instruments, musical instruments again!"
"Yu Dad is using his strength to tell everyone that he can play more than just the piano and the erhu!"
“I have a feeling that ‘Original Landscape of Hometown’ will definitely become a classic!”
“It’s become a classic.”
"I know why Xianyu has fewer instrumental works, because his standards are high and he won't release anything unless it's a classic!"
“Now that I think about it, it seems to be true!”
“I was wondering how it was possible that someone who could play so many instruments could only write piano pieces?”
"I was also greatly shocked by Yudie's pop songs, but compared with today's performance of the erhu and blue star flute, they seemed to lack a sense of heaviness and precipitation. I feel that Yudie is getting stronger with each battle!"
The two commentators looked at the guest Ye Zhiqiu.
I asked a question that the audience was concerned about:
"Does Teacher Xianyu have any other musical instruments?"
"Yes, I have."
Ye Zhiqiu answered affirmatively.
The barrage suddenly became more excited!
The two commentators were filled with ecstasy:
"for example?"
Ye Qiu nodded towards the screen.
The two commentators were stunned.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also a little dumbfounded.
No way
Xianyu’s next instrumental work will be suona
…
That's right.
The flute and pipe competitions are over, and the suona finals are about to begin!
And Ye Zhiqiu's meaning is very clear:
After the erhu and flute, Xianyu’s third musical instrument creation is actually the suona!
However, the audience at the scene and in other continents did not get the news immediately.
The audience was delighted to see that the suona final was about to begin.
“Here I come.”
“This instrument is a hooligan!”
"I felt bad after watching the suona competition yesterday."
"Compared to the erhu, the suona is more suitable for sending people away."
“I really don’t appreciate the suona.”
"It's the custom in our hometown to blow this thing when someone dies."
"Our wedding was also blown."
"It's like this in many places. People play suona at weddings, even when someone dies, and even when a child is one month old."
"You're kidding. The suona is the only musical instrument on Blue Star that can be played from the full moon to the seventh day."
"Speaking of which, Jiang Kui's previous song "Jiu Er" had a very nice suona, which shows that this instrument is still worth listening to. It all depends on how it is used."
All right.
Although the use of suona in "Jiuer" has indeed changed people's views on suona, it is still difficult for many people to love suona.
…
Under discussion.
The suona competition begins.
Qin Zhou was the first to appear.
There was laughter and joy in the live broadcast rooms on all continents.
"Please enjoy the folk art, suona performance!"
"Let me know which composer in Qinzhou was responsible for the creation of the suona."
"Hahahahahaha, it seems that no Qu Dad has ever written a solo piece specifically for suona. There are quite a few that use suona as embellishment, such as Xianyu's previous song "Jiuer"."
"This thing is really suitable for supporting. If used well, it can be a stroke of genius."
"But this is the Blue Music Club after all."
"It's a gold medal after all."
“The work information is out!”
"Huh?"
“Puff!”
"Why is it still him!"
I saw the work information appear on the big screen on the stage!
Work: Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix
Composer: Envy Fish
Performer: Song Zhou
Xianyu seemed to be at odds with musical instruments and even got involved in suona creation!
…
Zhongzhou live broadcast room.
The audience's ups and downs in mood, which had finally calmed down from watching "The Original Scenery of Hometown", are now all furious again!
"ah!"
“No, no, I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die!”
"Pinch my philtrum!"
"I need a quick-acting heart pill!"
"I'm trying to trick you, but you're jealous again. This guy really doesn't care about meat or vegetables!"
"Isn't it said that this guy is best at playing the piano? His style is so elegant, but why is he composing for the erhu and suona in the Blue Music Club? Can't we play some earthly instruments?"
"I am having a piscitophobia attack..."
"This guy won't stop until he sends the audience away?"
"Wait, don't rush to die, this project has nothing to do with us!"
"There aren't many people in Zhongzhou who can play the suona. Yesterday, three contestants were wiped out and didn't even make it to the finals."
“It’s so funny!”
The mentality of the Zhongzhou audience suddenly became positive.
How about we cheer for Qinzhou's opponents this time
And it was in these barrages.
Contestant Qin Zhou on the stage has already started playing the suona!
…
Birds pay homage to the phoenix.
Original name, Ten Scenes.
Among the important suona music in China, it is the most representative, and it brings the expressiveness of suona to an extreme.
It may not be a happy event or a funeral.
This song actually evokes people's love for nature and memories of their working life with its passionate and cheerful melody.
earth
Vulgar
You should know that "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" is not only a suona piece, it has also been adapted into a guzheng piece, accordion piece, piano piece, etc.
This kind of song is not simple.
When the official suona sounded, the audience's expressions changed to varying degrees.
How do you describe this feeling
Everyone seemed to hear a variety of sounds in this piece of music.
Cuckoo, partridge, swallow, mountain chirp, blue tit, thrush, lark…
The birds chirped.
There seemed to be the crowing of roosters interspersed in it.
The night fades away.
The sun rises.
This implication is vividly displayed in the song.
The birds are singing and the flowers are blooming, everything is so lively and bustling, it is a vibrant scene of nature.
lively.
Rough.
Down to earth.
Even the audience who had previously shown disdain for the suona could not help but be infected by the atmosphere and quietly pricked up their ears.
In fact.
What the Blue Star audience heard was not the version of “A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix” that was popular among the people.
The folk music has a loose structure and no climax, and contains a lot of improvisation by the performers.
What is the hen that lays eggs? Cluck, cluck.
Even the crying and screaming of children and the elderly were added in.
Of course, Lin Yuan would not adopt such a loose structure to compete.
He made his own adaptation, and even combined the features of the national team's adaptation to present the charm of this instrument more comprehensively. This is a complete work that is different from the folk version, but also derived from the folk version.
I still like what I like.
If I don’t like something, I won’t resist it anymore.
…
Suona is destined to be lively.
Just like the Zhongzhou live broadcast room at this moment.
A group of people playing memes:
"Listening to the suona while lying down is the most basic respect for the suona."
"This suona music is quite interesting. Xianyu is really good. I suggest you download it and set it as your alarm clock. If it wakes you up, go to work. If it doesn't wake you up, just go on the road."
"People lie down, cloth is put on, and the whole village, young and old, waits for the food to be served."
"For some reason I remembered a sentence, red board and white board, after eating, lie down together on the board."
"I see you just want to have a feast!"
"I don't understand the meaning of the song when I first hear it, and I feel like I'm in a coffin when I hear it again."
"I just changed from lying on my side to lying on my back. The expression on my face became peaceful, and I felt my body getting lighter and lighter. I even heard faint crying."
"Am I the only one who thinks it sounds pretty good?"
"And me."
“You are not alone.”
"This suona piece is somewhat magical. I can't tell whether it is great joy or great sorrow. I feel that the sound is very pure and absolute."
“It’s painful to hear.”
"This suona is clearly a mockery. Xianyu is telling us that he has sent away several batches of Zhongzhou players!"
How to say it.
Let’s put aside the competition.
The audience in Zhongzhou does not dislike Xianyu's kindness.
Is it a bit like how many Chinese people feel about Feike
A respectable opponent.
But when it comes to the competition, everyone still gets excited and wants to beat Xianyu to death.
But it's obvious.
They cannot achieve this goal today.
With a song "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", the suspense of the suona competition was once again ended early by Xianyu.
But I have to admit:
There is indeed a reason why suona has fallen into decline.
Although this song is also a famous work in China, the impression it left on the audience is far less profound than Xianyu's previous works.
Even if this is a champion suona song.
So what is the work that really enters everyone’s heart
It's Horse Racing.
It is "Erquan Yingyue".
It is "The Original Scenery of Hometown".
These are the works by Yang Zhongming and Abigail.
This may be related to the fact that the sound of the suona is not naturally beautiful.
Of course, there were audiences who resonated with the song, and "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" was certainly excellent, but the size of this group of people was still too small compared to the previous songs.
"A lonely instrument."
Ye Zhiqiu in Qin Zhou's live studio hit the nail on the head: "Instruments that are not so sociable always don't perform so well."
Why have piano, violin and the like become mainstream
Because they are so sociable.
Whether it is a popular pop song or a high-end symphony, they are always indispensable in the arrangement.
And what about suona
It will only be used in special circumstances.
Pause.
Ye Zhiqiu said again:
"In fact, this is also what makes me respect Xianyu. He can play any instrument and treats both mainstream and niche music equally. I don't know whether suona will continue to decline, but I think there will definitely be a place for "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" in the future Blue Star suona music. It is precisely because of this ability that Xianyu can use suona as a weapon, a weapon that most people dare not and will not use."
Okay.
You should also learn to blow Xianyu like Lu Sheng.
However, compared to Lu Sheng's "empty talk", Ye Zhiqiu's words are more easily accepted and recognized by the public.
The suona just proves once again:
Those who doubt Xianyu's ability to compose musical instruments can shut up from now on.
From playing the piano to the erhu, and from the blue star flute to the suona, if a person can truly appeal to both the elite and the masses, his attainments in musical instruments are beyond doubt.
Today’s three rounds of finals are Xianyu’s solo instrument show!
