Jiang Changning was a little angry when she received a call from someone in charge of the art festival's coordination department. She had already refused repeatedly, so why did he bother her
"Sorry, I have something to do during those days and I really don't have time to attend." Jiang Changning declined again.
"Ms. Jiang, the situation this time is a bit complicated. South Korea and the Sakura Country will send people to participate." A person in charge said a lot, and the central idea was that those two countries felt that Chinese classical music had declined and was not as good as that of South Korea and the Sakura Country.
These two tiny countries, deeply influenced by Chinese culture, now dare to look down on China. What the hell
Jiang Changning's patriotic feelings were stimulated, "Okay, I'll join."
"Ms. Jiang, can you spare a day to come over and discuss in detail?"
Those who want to participate in the art festival have to sign a contract to avoid canceling their participation at the last minute and causing a huge joke.
"I'll be free tomorrow."
After deciding to participate in the art festival, Jiang Changning not only ordered a performance costume, but also practiced the piano seriously every day in the following days.
"Why do you suddenly want to participate?" He Lianyu was very curious.
Jiang Changning's explanation is just four words: "Win glory for the country."
Guqin, the first of the six arts, is an ancient plucked string instrument of China. It has always been regarded as the representative of "the authentic voice of China" and "the vowel music". How can it be allowed to be seized by a small country
"Which piece of music do you plan to play at the beginning of the art festival?" He Lianyu rubbed her slightly red fingertips.
"I haven't thought about it yet, give me some advice."
"How about "The Mighty Qin"? It's quite domineering and shocking."
It is very suitable to play for those foreign "friends" at the art festival.
"This one." Jiang Changning agreed.
This song was destroyed in the war and could not be passed down to later generations in its entirety. Only some fragments remain. Some people have tried to complete it. Although it cannot reach the level of the original song, it is still a good song.
In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of February, and Jiang Changning went to the Zhongshan Concert Hall to attend the rehearsal.
He Lianyu wanted to take her there personally, but Jiang Changning stopped him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You go and do your thing. I can drive there myself."
I never noticed he was so clingy before
It took Jiang Changning much persuasion, plus a deep kiss, to finally convince President He who wanted to skip work again.
Although it is called a classical art festival, they still invited some big names in the entertainment industry to attract the audience. Those fans were really well-informed and ran outside the concert hall to wait for their idols.
This also led to Jiang Changning being surrounded and talked about when he entered the venue.
"Who is this person?"
"I don't know her, she's pretty."
"It must be an unknown nobody outside the 18th tier."
"I don't think she's in the entertainment industry."
“This is an arts festival, and most of the people who come here play classical instruments.”
"I wonder what this young lady plays?"
Although outsiders are not allowed to watch the rehearsal, insiders can still enjoy it.
Jiang Changning's program was ranked sixth, but the previous ones took too long, so she had her lunch before going up to play.
When playing the first section, the old gentlemen sitting below were still very calm.
The opening song is a little jumpy, but overall it is peaceful.
From the second paragraph onwards, the melody becomes different from the existing "The Mighty Qin" in that the tone is sonorous and powerful, and the rhyme is fluent and solemn.
The music brings people into the grand scene where the gates of the nine-sky palace are opened and people from all over the world are dressed in formal attire to pay homage to the emperor, which makes people's hearts surge.
The old gentlemen's eyes lit up when they heard this. Is this "The Mighty Qin"
The quality of this song was obviously better than the one they knew, smoother and more powerful.
It is a harbinger of eternal peace and happiness, and a peaceful and peaceful life.
Unify the universe, the imperial style is pure and solemn.
The song ended and Jiang Changning was about to leave the stage under the guidance of the staff.
"Little girl, wait a moment." One of the old gentlemen asked to keep her.
Jiang Changning came over in surprise, "Old man, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Little girl, are you playing "The Mighty Qin"? "
"Is there anything wrong with what I played?" Jiang Changning had not yet realized that she was playing the original song, not the one that was completed later.
"You played very well, but this piece doesn't sound like the 'Mighty Qin' that we are familiar with. I want to know who recomposed this piece."
Jiang Changning reacted at this time, but she couldn't tell the truth, so she lied, "I found an old piano score in a book, and it said "The Mighty Qin" on it. I thought it was better than the one I knew, so I played the song on the old score."
"Your decision is right." Several old gentlemen spoke at the same time.
"Where is that sheet music? Can you take it out for us to see?"
Jiang Changning could only continue to make up for the lie, "The music score is very worn out. I was afraid it would rot, so I copied a new one and put it at home. I'll bring it back tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay." The old gentlemen were delighted. They thought it would take some time to convince her, but they didn't expect her to be so generous. They had a better impression of her.
Ask her kindly, "What's your name, little girl?"
"My last name is Jiang, and my given name is Changning."
"Jiang Changning, what a good name, what a good name, the name suits the person."
The old man praised Jiang Changning so much that Jiang Changning blushed.
Jiang Changning left after chatting with the old gentlemen about topics related to the art festival.
When we came out of the concert hall, the fans who were waiting for their idols outside had not left yet. It was so cold, but it was a relief that they could still stand there.
Jiang Changning tightened his down jacket and walked quickly towards the parking lot.
Before she even reached the parking lot, she ran into He Lianyu who came to pick her up, "Why are you here?"
"I'll pick you up for dinner."
"Call me and tell me the address. I'll drive there myself. You don't have to make this trip."
"That place is not easy to find." He Lianyu made an excuse.
As a result, Jiang Changning drove behind He Lianyu's car, which made He Lianyu, who was sitting in the car, secretly feel that it was a wrong decision.
Jiang Changning rehearsed for five days, and He Lianyu took her for five days and took her to eat delicious food everywhere, saying: You have worked hard in rehearsal, so eat something delicious to replenish your body.
On the sixth day of February, the art festival officially opened. He Lianyu had made arrangements to go with the festival, but just before he left, his special assistant called and said, "Mr. He, there's a problem in the laboratory."
"Ningning, I have to go take care of something and can't go with you." He Lianyu frowned. How could it be so unfortunate
"Just go and do your own thing. It's okay. If you can't watch the opening ceremony, just watch the closing ceremony." After Jiang Changning comforted the sad President He, he drove to the concert hall to perform for the opening ceremony.
When she appeared on stage in a traditional Chinese costume, the audience whispered, "This young lady has such a classical charm."
When "The Mighty Qin" was played, the group of foreign "friends" were amazed, and one of them even said: "This song should only exist in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the world!"
This group of people found the organizer and expressed their desire to communicate with Jiang Changning.
The organizer said, “We can arrange it after the festival is over.”
However, when the organizer approached Jiang Changning to talk about this, Jiang Changning was unwilling to do so. “I’m not interested in communicating with the thieves.”
She was a special guest and did not receive any remuneration, so the organizers really could not go against her wishes and force her to communicate with foreign friends.
The matter was left unresolved.
