Chapter 303 301. Listening to the erhu makes my blood boil! No way? What instrument is this?
As the saying goes, there is no soul who cannot be sent away by the suona, and there is no person who cannot cry when the erhu pulls!
Erhu’s unique voice is naturally suitable for playing sad tones, and it can also arouse people’s sad emotions...
When the prelude of many erhu tunes is played, it will instantly make many people feel sad!
Just like the song "Erquan Yingyue" played by Wang Cheng just now, it is based on sadness, but it is not a pure tragedy, because it also expresses a positive attitude towards life, expressing the original author's life despite a rough life. , but still has a strong attitude towards life, so the piece is very complete, not just after playing a tragedy, it is over, as if a person has lived a lifetime.
It is also because of this that it has very high artistic value and research value. It is called a classic handed down from generation to generation. It is listed first in the ranking of many famous erhu songs in Wang Cheng's memory, and has never fallen out of the top three.
And many music masters and audiences who understand folk music at the scene have been listening to the erhu performances since they were young, and the erhu performances are mainly about tragedy, because this is the innate advantage of the erhu, and many previous creators and performers will naturally Give full play to the inherent advantages of this instrument as much as possible!
so!
It is not surprising that I shed tears because of listening to the erhu.
but…
The brand-new erhu piece that Wang Cheng played at this time did not look like a tragedy at all, and it was not sad at all. It gave people a sense of loftiness and emptiness at the beginning, and made people feel a sense of grandeur and boundlessness. !
Almost everyone who knows a little bit about folk music can hear it. This is definitely another new erhu piece!
because…
Such a style of work that is completely different from traditional erhu works, if they have heard it, they will never forget it.
Pairs of eyes stared at Wang Cheng, full of shock and disbelief!
Lin Dongqing said in a low voice: "This should be another new work created by him. He won't play all his new works at today's concert, right?"
Lin Mi took another deep breath, his eyes still reluctant to leave Wang Cheng for a moment, his pretty face was flushed with excitement, and his face was full of admiration: "Why not? He can definitely do this, it depends on whether he wants to do it or not!"
Lin Dongqing said in shock: "Then, if he really achieves this, he will really become a god! Since then, no one dares to question him in the field of classical music art at home and abroad, and no one dares to rank ahead of him... all In the history of classical music in the world, no one has been able to do this.”
None of the famous music and art masters in Europe who have gone down in history have ever done this!
So, if Wang Cheng can do it, and if he can do it under the witness of tens of hundreds of top music artists at home and abroad, then Wang Cheng can really become a **** in the field of classical music in an instant, and everyone present will bow down!
Even if Wang Cheng didn't focus on the piano and violin and other European and American mainstream musical instruments, it was enough to suppress all the classical music masters in the world.
Whether you are a domestic master, or a top international school, or an international music master, you have to kneel down...
But!
Such a thing is incredible.
Lin Mi asked: "Since Wang Cheng's debut, has he sung other people's works? Have you played other people's works?"
Lin Dongqing was taken aback for a moment, and then his face changed slightly. After thinking about it carefully, he found that Wang Cheng had never sung or performed other people's songs!
Wang Cheng only performed other people's songs with his teammates on Dragon TV's talent show Oriental Star when he first debuted, but Wang Cheng was just a backup dancer at that time, the kind of backup dancer without a single line of lyrics...
Since Wang Cheng began to sing and perform by himself, there have been no other works, only his own works, whether it is pop music works or classical music works, they are all his own original works.
So…
Will Wang Cheng continue this point in his solo concert today?
Lin Dongqing didn't dare to think about it.
Because, that's really incredible and awesome.
At this time, a sudden rush of strange music struck.
Lin Dongqing and Lin Mi's father and daughter also stopped talking immediately, and looked at the stage with surprise in their eyes.
I saw Wang Cheng sitting on a chair, plucking the strings of the erhu with one hand, making a rushing sound, as if it was not an erhu, but a guitar, but the rushing sound was similar to what Wang Cheng played just now. The music fit perfectly, and in an instant everyone seemed to see a group of galloping horses galloping, and the rushing sound was exactly the hooves of the galloping horses trampling on the ground...
It was the first time for everyone present to see this kind of erhu playing technique, but the effect was surprisingly good, novel and amazing.
Tian Wen, Fan Yu, Xu Chaohua and all other folk music masters stood up in an instant, their bodies leaned forward slightly, and their eyes were fixed on Wang Cheng, trying to see every movement of Wang Cheng clearly and write down Wang Cheng's performance. every detail of…
Such a pioneering new performance technique refreshes and shocks everyone who understands folk music...
turn out to be!
Erhu can still play like this.
Moreover, the effect of playing is so good?
The galloping horse fits so well with the style of music played by Wang Cheng.
All of them saw clearly for a moment, a group of herdsmen riding galloping horses on the grassland to catch up, everyone wanted to fight for the hot scene of the first place!
In their eyes, the erhu in Wang Cheng's hands was completely different from the erhu in their impression.
In the music, they seemed to hear the sound of the matouqin, the effect of the guitar, and many sounds and emotions that they could not hear in the previous erhu performance.
This is very different from the traditional Erhu playing method they remember.
Because the erhu work that Wang Cheng performed earlier is an extremely standard traditional erhu work and performance method, so comparing the two, the change in Wang Cheng's performance method at this time is more clear and impactful.
it seems...
In an instant, the times have changed.
At this time, Wang Cheng's movements and postures in playing the erhu were extremely open and closed, enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the whole person's movements seemed to be riding a horse.
All of them have a feeling that they want to rediscover the instrument of Erhu.
This kind of national musical instrument, which has been passed down in China for thousands of years and has a strong sense of culture, has a brand-new atmosphere at this time, which fits the new era!
Xu Chaohua, who was standing, murmured in a low voice: "It's amazing... This erhu work has ushered in a new era of erhu! However, the piece just now is the most classic traditional erhu work! This one is new and one is old. All of them have reached the limit, and they have reached the level of classics. What does Wang Cheng want to express? Is he trying to tell us that our music has been stagnant for so many years? Is he trying to tell us that we should abandon tradition and seek innovation and change? ?”
Xu Chaohua's words made Yan Qing next to him, as well as many other folk music experts from the Conservatory of Music, couldn't help nodding excitedly.
Wang Cheng's erhu work with a new style and playing technique seems to have opened a new door for them in an instant...
now that…
Erhu can be so innovative and changeable, the effect is still so good, and the live performance is so shocking.
So…
Can other national musical instruments develop in this way?
They have been conservative for many years, did they do something wrong?
Classical music and folk music have not made any progress in the past few years, but have regressed a lot. Is it all the responsibility of their stagnation?
One time...
Staring at Wang Cheng, listening to the exciting erhu music, all the domestic musicians present thought a lot.
Although many foreign musicians don't know much about erhu, so they don't know much about the meaning of Wang Cheng's work, but they can intuitively feel that there is a huge difference between the work Wang Cheng just played and the work he is playing now, which makes him They are even more shocking. Wang Cheng's exploration of different styles of the same instrument is so profound!
Under everyone's shocked and thoughtful gaze!
Wang Cheng stood up directly, his movements became more violent, he opened and closed more, his body swayed with the intense music, more intuitively showing the core of the song - riding a horse, his whole body is It's like playing the erhu while riding a horse.
This is also Wang Cheng’s most refreshing performance of the erhu. This horse racing piece is really a rare and refreshing piece in the erhu. Wang Cheng did not study it carefully in his previous life, but only knew how to play it. This time he devoted himself to the performance, and really realized the core artistic conception of this piece, and he was a little excited.
When the last note is drawn...
Wang Cheng was still standing, and kept riding a horse for a few seconds before he came out of the artistic conception of the song, touched the erhu lightly, and liked this instrument very much.
And the music stops.
The scene remained silent for more than a minute.
Lin Mi and Wen Yixiao applauded together, and the intense applause woke up everyone present...
Then, everyone's applause immediately hit, and everyone immediately stood up together, using all their strength to give their warmest applause to the figure on the stage.
Even Charles, Howard, Hessie, Heidi and others stood up willingly at this moment, applauded vigorously, and gave their applause to Wang Cheng and music art!
The day after tomorrow Hu Xiaoshan, Li Guang, Zhang Huizhong, Xie Xingfeng, Shen Shenghui and others also applauded together, everyone's eyes were full of admiration and shock.
Hu Xiaoshan looked at Wang Cheng and the excited audience. The audience of 3,000 people stood up and applauded. The scene was quite lively, and he praised: "This is the first time I have seen such a lively concert scene! Of course , This is the first time I have seen such a wonderful erhu performance by Wang Cheng. The two pieces are completely different in style and playing technique.
It is not uncommon to have a standing ovation for a concert.
For example, Charles, Howard, Claude, Scott, Muller, Hanks and others at the scene have enjoyed such standing applause from the audience many times.
However, that was basically human applause, not real applause that was shocked and conquered by the music, as can be seen from the expressions of the audience.
Listening to the erhu can make the blood boil, and it is really the first time for them to feel it.
Xie Xingfeng's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice: "If I arrange a solo concert for Wang Cheng on the Spring Festival Gala, what will the effect be?"
Xie Xingfeng could imagine that Wang Cheng's two erhu performances, together with the previous guzheng performance, were definitely a promotion and promotion of Chinese national culture, and he would definitely get support from above, which would reduce his resistance.
Hu Xiaoshan, Li Guang, Zhang Huizhong, and Shen Shenghui all looked at Xie Xingfeng at the same time, with doubts and doubts.
Arranging a personal concert for Wang Cheng on the Spring Festival Gala?
What time slot do you schedule?
Where do you put the others?
Wasn't Wang Cheng already clearly rejected because of the conflict of working hours?
Xie Xingfeng saw the doubts of several people, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm looking for a solution. I came here this time to discuss with Wang Cheng."
Shen Shenghui welcomes this.
Although Wang Cheng's Spring Festival Gala will greatly increase the exposure rate, which is contrary to his plan, but it can also bring some resources to the company as a whole.
Moreover, he really didn't dare to refuse the CCTV Spring Festival Gala invitation.
From the standpoint of the entertainment company, there is no reason to refuse...
So, Shen Shenghui said softly: "If Wang Cheng agrees, then we definitely have no objections."
Xie Xingfeng nodded, knowing that Shen Shenghui was a tool man, and then asked curiously: "What will Wang Cheng play next? Will he continue to play the erhu? Director Shen, have you made any performance plans for Wang Cheng?"
Shen Shenghui smiled wryly and shook his head: "He didn't communicate with us about any performance plans. For this concert, we just rented the venue for him and sold tickets. I can't do anything else. For the performances and so on, we I don't know. We don't even know what musical instrument he uses. That's why I prepared so many musical instruments for him on stage, just in case he couldn't find one he likes..."
Xie Xingfeng and Zhang Huizhong knew the inside story of this concert. They looked at each other in shock, and they looked at Wang Cheng with even more admiration.
Can treat a personal recital like this...
is really a god-man.
Most importantly, Wang Cheng's performance will not disappoint.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Huizhong said in a low voice: "It's really a waste of Wang Cheng's strength and talent to let Wang Cheng go east and west like this!"
With Wang Cheng's strength and talent, if he plans a program well and fully utilizes Wang Cheng's strength and talent, the effect will definitely explode, and it is absolutely possible to surpass the peak period of tomorrow's idol.
The people present are all upper-class people in the entertainment industry, with vision and ideas, so they all know that Zhang Huizhong is telling the truth.
Wang Cheng's value is immeasurable...
but.
Several people looked at Shen Shenghui.
They know that the contradiction between Mofang Entertainment and Wang Cheng goes further——Wang Cheng's value is too high, and Mofang Entertainment is reluctant to let go.
Shen Shenghui smiled wryly, did not speak, but continued to look at Wang Cheng.
The applause at the scene gradually died down.
but…
Everyone did not sit down, but continued to stand, stretching their necks to look at Wang Cheng on the stage.
because…
After Wang Cheng finished playing the erhu piece, he seemed to have lost interest in the erhu. He casually put the erhu on the instrument shelf next to him, and then stood there with his hands behind his back, and began to examine the instruments on the instrument shelf...
Everyone at the scene was also full of curiosity, their eyes following Wang Cheng's gaze and footsteps.
Everyone wants to know.
Which instrument will Wang Cheng use for his next performance?
Especially many domestic folk music masters and the world's top music artists from abroad such as Charles and Howard all looked at Wang Cheng expectantly and nervously.
They all hope that Wang Cheng will play with their familiar musical instruments to show the music art they want to see. If Wang Cheng can also show some new things, it may bring great benefits to their future music art journey. Some new inspiration.
Tian Wen stared at Wang Cheng, and murmured nervously in a low voice: "Guzheng, choose Guzheng..."
As one of the few guzheng masters in China, she naturally hopes that Wang Cheng can play a guzheng piece again, just like the General Order and Yuzhou Changwan played by Wang Cheng before, and bring new vitality to the guzheng again.
However, there are other folk music masters around her who are also whispering: "Choose the flute, the xiao is also fine..."
Some people said: "How about matouqin?"
"No, do you really think that he knows all the instruments above?"
Finally, the folk music expert's words made the surrounding people silent and wry smiles.
yes…
There are more than a dozen or twenty popular and unpopular folk musical instruments above, some folk music experts like them can’t name them for a while, how can they expect Wang Cheng to be able to play them?
Wang Cheng can reach the level of the top master in the fields of erhu guzheng, piano, violin and other four musical instruments, which is amazing enough...
They couldn't have asked for more.
After all, Wang Cheng is only a nineteen-year-old child...
Charles and Howard were also whispering.
"piano!"
"violin…"
"God, just choose the piano! I want to hear him play Etude No. 1 live once."
"The name of Etude No. 1 is really ugly."
"I can't help it. Who would tell someone to be too lazy to name him? How about we help him choose a name?"
"The creator is still alive, we can't help him name it, and when he passes away, we won't be here anymore, let alone change his name."
And Heidi stared at Wang Cheng, and even folded her hands together as if praying in a low voice: "Please, play the piano!"
Although Heidi doesn't understand erhu, she is a genius after all, so she can clearly feel the artistic conception of music and art expressed by Wang Cheng's two erhu works, so she is even more shocked in her heart, and she looks forward to Wang Cheng's live piano playing. What a wonderful art to enjoy.
Phipps next to him said in a low voice: "I don't believe that he really knows how to play so many instruments above. It's unbelievable to know a few instruments. Now, he actually doesn't have many choices. Maybe it's the piano, the zither, The violin... I personally really hope that he can play the piano!"
"To be honest, I have made some obvious progress after listening to his piano performance at the recording site of the program last time. If I can listen to his live piano performance two more times, I think I can surpass you, Heidi!"
Heidi listened to Phipps's words, but she didn't take it seriously, without the slightest pressure.
Because, she is confident that her talent is above Phipps and others, and it is absolutely impossible for Phipps to surpass...
at this time…
Wang Cheng on the stage stopped in front of the second musical instrument shelf, glanced at the familiar musical instruments on it, and finally settled on a musical instrument hanging there in the middle.
This is a musical instrument that almost no one has noticed, and it is also a musical instrument that no one can imagine.
but…
Wang Cheng is now interested.
I want to try this kind of musical instrument that I only knew how to play in my previous life, but I didn’t have too much knowledge. I want to try to see if I can play the desired effect of the erhu just now?
Under everyone's wide-eyed, somewhat disbelieving gazes.
Wang Cheng reached out and picked up the instrument from the shelf.
The scene instantly became silent, and all the whispered discussions disappeared...
In an instant, it became audible.
All domestic audiences only have disbelief in their hearts—won’t it?
Howard, Charles and other foreign audiences only have doubts in their eyes...
Because most of them have never seen this musical instrument, they are extremely unfamiliar, and they all want to ask—what is it?
