Chapter 345 Kun Opera and Pop, Between Landscapes

The program idea of ​​"Walking and Singing" was proposed by Zhou You and discussed with Wang Hou to implement it.

The so-called "ending song" is similar to the format of Earth's "Walking and Singing" program.

At the end of each program,

The guests all sang a song together.

The guests played and played various musical instruments.

The songs sung should fit the theme of this program as much as possible.

After receiving the task, Zhou You and others began to discuss song selection and rehearsal.

First of all, we had to decide on the track, but after picking and choosing, I always felt that the proposed song was not suitable, so Xu Jian suggested: "How about we write a song together? Use an original track."

We are all musicians. Xu Jian, Zhou You, and Mo Shuaijie all have certain creative skills. Writing songs is not difficult.

"I agree." Qi Haoyang said.

"I agree." Tang Mengxi raised his hand and burped... He ate too many cakes tonight.

The proposal passed unanimously.

As for the creative direction of the creative theme, it has not been discussed.

After lying down on the bed,

Mo Shuaijie bit his pen and wrote a song. After he finished writing, he crossed it out and then continued writing.

Zhou You closed his eyes and meditated, but in fact his consciousness sank into the system and drew a lottery.

I earned 15 points today.

A lottery may be conducted.

"lottery!"

I shouted in my heart, and four golden cloud pattern cards appeared in front of my eyes. I chose a song, and the card was enlarged, and the golden light overflowed.

[Congratulations on winning the song "Between Mountains and Rivers"]

The lyrics and music of this song are all composed by Xu Song.

National style!

The lyrics, music and arrangement are all perfect.

And it goes well with the travel show, and also goes well with Jiangnan... Well, Zhou You actually thinks that the lyrics of this song are very ink-style.

For example, "There is an oil-paper umbrella on the bluestone by the lake. Travelers stopped to fold flowers and wet the silk and satin. The jade petals on the trees are so proud, but the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River is entangled"...

"This song is not bad as the closing song for Gusu." Zhou You muttered in his heart.

Just thinking,

Suddenly Mo Shuaijie's voice woke him up, "Wandering around? Are you asleep?"

Only then did Zhou You open his eyes, "I haven't...thought of anything."

"Are you thinking about a new song?"

"Ah yes."

"Do you want to see if this song will work?" Mo Shuaijie said, "How can I hold it in for a while?"

Zhou You took it over and looked at it carefully.

Inheriting all the memories from his predecessor, including the music theory part, Zhou You still has his own understanding and a brush when it comes to creation.

After reading the song written by Mo Shuaijie, "It's pretty good, but the chords here are a bit inconsistent. Let's change it like this..."

Travel around to "test your skills".

After making the changes as Zhou You said, Mo Shuaijie said: "It's really much better. Have you just conceived the work?"

"Some inspiration." Zhou said.

"Write it down and take a look?" Mo Shuaijie said.

"That's okay." Zhouyou agreed after thinking for a moment, "Use your pen and paper."

Zhou Yuou quickly wrote the lyrics and music of "Between Mountains and Rivers".

"Is this...done?" Mo Shuaijie was surprised.

"Um."

"You just closed your eyes for a moment, and the lyrics and music were all finished?" Mo Shuaijie's jaw almost dropped in shock.

The tour was not only completed, but completed to a high degree.

No wonder he is called a creative genius.

The gold content of this A-level creator is at least S-level.

"The arrangement mainly uses oriental instrumental music, such as pipa, bamboo flute, guzheng..." Zhou You said lightly.

Good guy! ! The arrangement has also been conceived.

"I'm so impressed." Mo Shuaijie said, "From today on, you are my eldest brother. Compared with what you wrote, I feel like the words I wrote are just garbage."

Mo Shuaijie had the urge to throw the lyrics and music he wrote into the trash can.

"It's not that bad." Zhou Youyou said, "My creative ability is actually just average."

He told the truth.

After all, it all depends on the system.

But it sounded too careless to Mo Shuaijie's ears.

You call this ordinary... What does it mean to be extraordinary?

Everyone got up very early the next day.

It was packed up before nine o'clock.

The reason... is because Zhou You went to eat three shrimp noodles yesterday, and Tang Mengxi and Mo Shuaijie both wanted to eat it. So it’s not that they have become more diligent.

Simply to satisfy one's own appetite.

However, Zhou You wanted to change things up a bit, so he and Li Qingyao went to eat mute fried dumplings.

Finally, the two of them went to buy plum blossom cakes and osmanthus cakes, and brought some back for Tang Mengxi and others who were eating three shrimp noodles.

Zhou You likes Suzhou very much.

Especially like the pastries here.

too delicious.

Returning to the noodle shop, he distributed the mute pan-fried fried rice and plum blossom cake and sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Tang Mengxi and others.

Tang Mengxi: "I kind of regret eating the three shrimp noodles!! I still love Gusu's pastries more, they are so delicious."

Mo Shuaijie and Qi Haoyang were still chattering.

I am full of praise for the three shrimp noodles at 148.

Mo Shuaijie: "I want to have another bowl, but it's too expensive. Director, will the second bowl be reimbursed?"

Prince: "No reimbursement."

Mo Shuaijie: "Director Wang! You are too stingy."

Prince: "How about I pat their sign? Then talk to the boss about sponsorship?"

Mo Shuaijie: "You can have this!! I can even say a few advertising slogans! Ask the boss if you can give me a free order."

Of course this is all a joke.

Mo Shuaijie didn't eat the second bowl because even if he didn't pay for it himself, he still felt that a bowl of noodles was too expensive... Just eat it when you want to improve your life.

Xu Jian talked about the "ending song", "Zhou You, I heard that you had already written the ending song last night?"

Zhou You: "I wrote a song."

Xu Jian: "Take a look?"

Zhou You: "Let's do it tonight, let's discuss it again and make changes."

After breakfast we set out on our journey.

Went to Hanshan Temple today.

That's right,

It is the Hanshan Temple "outside the city of Suzhou, the bell rings at midnight to reach the passenger ship".

After visiting Hanshan Temple, we went to Xiyuan Temple.

In short, today’s itinerary is inseparable from the temple.

I got my seal stamped at Hanshan Temple, copied scriptures and ate vegetarian noodles at Xiyuan Temple.

It is worth mentioning that there are many cats in Saionji Temple. Li Qingyao liked cats very much, and Zhou You happened to like them too, so the two of them petted the cats there for a long time.

"Why are there so many cats here?" Mo Shuaijie has been struggling with this question. "There are cats in the bushes, cats in the grass, cats on the ground... I thought this was a cat temple."

There are so many cats here.

And grow fat.

Extremely lazy.

Feel free to touch it...as long as you are a good feeder.

After the temple tour, the group went to listen to Kun Opera in the evening.

Kunqu Opera is the oldest type of traditional Chinese opera.

It is one of the types of music under the Southern Opera system, the ancestor of all operas.

"Peony Pavilion", "Peach Blossom Fan", and "Palace of Eternal Life" should be well-known Kun operas.

Although Blue Star has greatly preserved its traditional culture, similar to Earth, as time goes by and times change, the traditional art of Kun Opera gradually loses favor among people.

Towards decline and decline.

There are some differences between "Walking and Singing" and "Traveler".

During the filming of "Traveler", the director team rarely interfered with the guests' activities and arrangements.

The "Walking and Singing" program team will issue tasks and arrange activities.

This listening to Kunqu opera was arranged by the program team, on the one hand to enrich the program content, and on the other hand to promote and carry forward traditional opera.

This art form cannot be allowed to be lost.

After the performance, the six stars met and chatted with the old students and female actors who had just performed backstage.

The old student’s name is Wei Chuan.

The Danjiao's name is Zou Ying.

Both are Kunqu Opera artists.

And they are husband and wife.

I learned that Zhou You and the others were recording a program, and they were happy to talk about Kun Opera.

Wei Chuandao: "You have also seen that there are not many people in the audience every time we perform. Today is a big one, because there are you and the people from the program team."

Zou Ying: "We want to do our part, not to mention promoting the art of Kunqu Opera, but at least to pass it on. We can't let it fall into our hands. But it is not as easy as imagined."

Zhou You said thoughtfully, "Nowadays, young people who are purely interested in opera are rarely able to calm down and listen to it. If we want to promote inheritance, we can broaden our minds and find some new ways."

"New way?" Wei Chuan said, "How do you say it?"

"For example, combining it with pop music." Zhou You said, "My previous work "囍" incorporated opera, and it seems that many young people like it. It can be seen that young people do not like opera, but need it. Find a way they can live with it.”

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"This is a good idea." Wei Chuandao, "But we..."

He wanted to say that they didn't have that ability.

Mo Shuaijie is the best at teasing, and said: "The first time I listened to "囍" it really gave me a lot of surprises, and I really like this song. But how to integrate Kun Opera? Zhou You, can you give us a sample?"

Xu Jian: "Yeah, let's sing a few lines and listen."

Everyone wants to hear Zhou You singing.

Everyone wants to see him improvise.

I don’t refuse to travel around.

I happened to have a piece in my hand that combined Kun Opera and pop music.

"Beside the Plum" from the album "Heroes of the World".

Zhou You sang a few words casually.

The first is the opening line of Kunqu Opera.

"When he was young, he had to be a guest of Toad Palace, not by the plum blossoms but by the willows~~"

Zhou You amazed everyone as soon as he opened his mouth.

"He actually knows Kun Opera?" Xu Jian, Mo Shuaijie and others were surprised.

Wei Chuan was also impressed by Zhou You. His accent... was already at the level of a professional Kunqu opera actor.

This pop musician is not simple.

A Kunqu opera melody opened the show, followed by Zhou You singing a pop aria, as well as rap and rap.

"This room is where Mengmei falls in love with the fairy in the painting."

"That side is where Liniang died because of her love."

“For love, I won’t eat, drink or sleep.”

"..."

"Who can pity the falling flowers beside the plum blossoms like snow?"

"The wind blows by the willow, life and death are left to one's will"

"The feeling of waiting for a thousand years is sour and bitter, and the two people are resentful."

Zhou You sang a little song.

"Beside the Plum" is not fully presented.

Singing a cappella can't express that feeling.

"Probably through combining it in this way," Zhou Youyou said, "When arranging, I add the percussion elements of Kun Opera into it, and a work full of Kun Opera elements is released."

Everyone was stunned.

"It sounds so good." Tang Mengxi praised, "The combination of pop and traditional art has no sense of contradiction at all."

Wei Chuan was also surprised.

But what he was more curious about was: "Have you ever studied Kun Opera before?"

Zhou You: "No."

Wei Chuan: "Then how come you can sing better than a professional?"

Zhou You: "Let's study for a while."

Everyone was even more surprised.

Is it considered professional after studying for a period of time?

You have to learn opera from an early age, and it takes time and effort.

But from what Zhou You said, it seemed that he had learned professional skills casually.

This is genius...

In the following time, everyone saw the possibility of integrating tradition and fashion from the "proofing" that they traveled around, and their ideas seemed to open up all of a sudden.

Xu Jian said: "You pointed out a creative direction for us."

Zhou You: "Just thought of it."

Everyone is very interested in Kun Opera.

So he learned singing from Wei Chuan and Zou Ying.

Videographers capture footage from multiple angles.

Time passes quietly while studying.

Soon it was time to say goodbye.

Wei Chuan and Zou Ying both said: "I look forward to having the opportunity to cooperate with several teachers in the future."

And Zhou You does have the idea of ​​​​cooperating with Wei Chuan and Zou Ying.

It wasn't like he didn't gain anything today.

At least the outlines of the new album are gradually becoming clearer.

He originally planned to make a blue album, a black album, etc., but after listening to Kun Opera and getting to know Wei Chuan and Zou Ying, the idea of ​​​​releasing a "Chinese style" album gradually became confirmed.

This album contains all "Chinese style" songs.

Of course, there is no such thing as Chinese style in this world.

But full of oriental charm.

He had no idea what the album would be called.

But the "Chinese style" tracks "Blue and White Porcelain", "Beside the Plum Blossoms", "Looking at the Spring Breeze" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in my hand all have a chance to be selected for this album.

Well, let’s see what other works we can draw in the future.

If you really can't draw it, use inspiration fragments.

It’s not a bad idea to make an album out of scraps of inspiration.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, everyone watched the song "Between Mountains and Rivers" written by Zhou You. They agreed that it fit the Jiangnan flavor very well and decided to use this song as the "ending song".

Zhou You thought "Blue and White Porcelain" was also very suitable.

But Zhou You wanted to include it in the new album.

With selfish motives,

So this song was not released.

After deciding to use "Between Mountains and Rivers", everyone started rehearsing. Li Qingyao knows guzheng, so the guzheng orchestration part of the arrangement was left to Li Qingyao.

Xu Jian plays the flute.

He plays the flute.

Other musical instruments were completed by Zhou You, Mo Shuaijie, Qi Haoyang and Tang Mengxi respectively.

Of course, this piece is also a sung chorus by them.

Based on the original song, the harmony part of the stars is added.

It sounds like it works pretty well.

The guzheng was not available, but director Wang Hou bought it as quickly as possible.

Stay up late rehearsing.

The next afternoon, they set up their instruments on a thousand-year-old bridge in Suzhou City, "arranged their troops," and began to record the final closing song.

During the recording process, many men, women and children gathered to watch.

And today,

Zhou You and others also changed into Hanfu.

The men are handsome and the women are beautiful.

"Four handsome young men." Tang Mengxi said, "They are so handsome."

"Mengxi and Qingyao are also beautiful." Mo Shuaijie said: "Jiangnan beauties, talented and beautiful."

"The talented man and the beautiful woman are very good!" Xu Jian thought it was appropriate.

"We are the four great talents," Zhou You added, "Qingyao and Mengxi are the most beautiful women."

"Should we recite a poem?" Qi Haoyang said.

Everyone was joking.

Wang Hou pulled back the rhythm and said, "Recording is started! Recording is started!! Get ready."

The stars are in place.

Li Qingyao gently touched the strings of the guzheng with his fingers, and the beautiful guzheng melody floated out, carried in the spring breeze, and full of poetry and painting in the catkins and small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River.

Guzheng is a highlight of "Between Mountains and Rivers".

Li Qingyao herself has a kind of classical beauty.

This classical beauty becomes more prominent and outstanding when playing the guzheng.

The prelude is over,

Zhou You was the first to sing:

"Last night, my classmates gathered together to drink and change cups."

"Nowadays, tea, cold wine and cold drinks are just a joke"

"Half life is exhausted in vain, but who can read the perfect inscription?"

"Living in seclusion among the mountains and rivers, swearing to be separated from the fame"

There were many people watching.

Because the prince said hello, this scene could only take pictures but not videos, so many people held up their mobile phones, but they only took pictures and did not record videos.

In blue star,

If the recording team says hello not to record or broadcast, and if someone else does it, the program team can sue and hold them accountable.

So everyone was very cooperative.

Listening to the song and discussing.

"The lyrics are so well written."

"Oh my god, Zhou You and Li Qingyao look amazing in Hanfu!"

"listen well!"

“It’s a pity that we can’t record the video.”

"I will definitely watch "Walking and Singing""

Everyone was talking.

But because they are separated by a distance, their voices will not affect normal recording.

Mo Shuaijie sang second.

"An oil-paper umbrella on the bluestone by the lake"

"The traveler stopped to fold flowers and wet the silk and satin."

"The trees full of jade petals are so proud"

"The misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River is full of obsession"

"Hua Feiyu chases Yiruchen, and the fate is still chaotic."

The voices of Xu Jian, Qi Haoyang, Tang Mengxi, and Li Qingyao gradually joined in.

Or lead vocals or backing vocals.

It is intertwined into a very beautiful song, just like "Flowers are chasing after rain".

"Falling flowers and rain, your swaying beauty"

"The fragrance of flowers brings back past feelings"

"I am willing to turn into duckweed and lie in the middle of the lake"

"I will only accompany you through the ripples of time"

The beautiful singing intoxicated Suzhou and Jiangnan.

The singing intoxicated the onlookers and fans.
