Taozi and Shen Xian looked at each other, then Taozi took a deep breath and said to Shen Xian: "Xiao Shen, it's our turn."
The two then walked into the locker room.
Mo Wei was already waiting inside, and several other members had already put on their makeup and were waiting for Shen Xian and Taozi Baby.
Chen Xian and Taozi's makeup is not complicated, and they can be on stage after a little touch-up.
The makeup in Huangmei Opera is not like that in Peking Opera.
Peking Opera characters rely on facial makeup on many levels, and different facial makeup is used to express the character’s personality and differences.
Huangmei Opera is different. It focuses more on the performance of minor keys.
When Chen Xian and Taozi Baby stood on the stage, all the lights in the venue dimmed, and only the shining lights on the stage were still shining on the two of them.
The two of them became the focus of the scene.
Next to the two of them, there were four or five actors.
Before the two of them spoke, a beautiful and sad melody sounded.
At the beginning, the flute played a melody imitating the sound of birds, and then the oboe used a soft and lyrical introduction theme to show a beautiful scene of spring with bright sunshine, singing birds and fragrant flowers.
When this music sounded, many of the audience who were still talking held their breath and listened carefully.
"What's going on? Why do I feel like this piece of music is breaking my heart?"
"This music sounds so good. A scene of birds singing and flowers blooming appears before my eyes?"
“It feels like Chinese style!”
On the barrage, people were talking about it.
When the violin melody sounded, many people's breathing quickened.
The extremely sad yet extremely beautiful melody echoed in everyone's ears.
It brought back countless memories for countless people.
Some people have their true love from their youth flash before their eyes, but in the end there is no farewell when they were together.
Some people think of the time when they could never be together, under the moonlight, making vows to each other.
Others had countless promises they made to each other flashing through their minds, but none of them were fulfilled.
Tears appeared in many people's eyes.
"When tears fall like rain, I realize that the past cannot be cut off."
"I haven't seen the girl in my mind for a long time. What kind of life is she living now?"
"Do you have a new relationship? Do you still have me in your heart? Are you doing well?"
This thought emerged in the minds of countless viewers.
This passage in "Butterfly Lovers" is strictly speaking called "Transformation into a Butterfly".
On Earth, the violin concerto "Butterfly Lovers" has not only become a milestone in the history of Chinese music since its premiere in 1959, but has also been recognized worldwide as a treasure of oriental music art and a model of the modernization of national music.
It was the first time that traditional Chinese opera music was deeply integrated with the Western symphony concerto form. The "Chidiao" singing style of Yue Opera and the "Qi Cheng Zhuan He" structure of Jiangnan Xiaodiao were extensively used in the creation. This attempt not only broke the situation where Western works dominated violin music at that time, but also pioneered the "modernization of national music" and was hailed as "the Chinese people's own symphony."
Through the language of music, it conveys the traditional Chinese concept of love that lasts till death and the anti-feudal values. Its tragic core and romantic expression not only conform to the Chinese aesthetic tradition, but also resonate with universal emotions. It is known as the "Romeo and Juliet of the East".
"Butterfly Lovers" breaks the constraints of the Western sonata form in its musical structure, adopts narrative sections such as "Swearing Oath on Grass Bridge", "Resisting Marriage" and "Transformation into a Butterfly", forming a unique "symphonic language with Chinese characteristics".
As China's first violin concerto, "Butterfly Lovers" is a breakthrough in the innovation of national music, a condensation of cultural symbols, a high level of artistic achievement, and a vitality that transcends time. It is not only a musical work, but also a symbol of the fusion of traditional Chinese culture and modern art, and continues to influence the global audience's understanding of oriental aesthetics.
As the saying goes, experts see the details, while laymen see the excitement.
The audience focused on the beauty of the melody, while professional musicians focused on the connotation and meaning of the melody.
Zhou Yanshi was already drowsy, but when this tune sounded, he suddenly sat up straight with his eyes wide open: "Wait, this piece of music... is a fusion of Western concerto and traditional Chinese culture!"
Zhou Xingzheng said next to him: "This is the first fusion!"
Song Tianzong's eyes were like water, and as deep as the starry sky: "This is the first time I have heard a tune played by violin, cello and erhu together. I feel... it's very explosive!"
"This tune refreshed my understanding of traditional opera!"
"It has given us such a big shock before it even started. I feel... this play will be a big hit!"
The many judges on the stage also heard the extraordinaryness of this song and listened to it attentively.
In the room.
Zhou Wan looked at Chen Xian on the stage with a gleam in his eyes.
She recognized Chen Xian and guessed that this song must have been written by Chen Xian!
Ning Cai took a deep breath and said, "This song is in the style of Chen Xian, and it's as sad as ever!"
Song Yiyao next to her said nothing, but the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter.
She is well-read and knowledgeable, and knows what this song represents.
This is the first concerto combining Chinese and Western elements in the history of China!
It was also a great attempt!
"What kind of talent do you have to be able to write such a tune?" Song Yiyao said to herself, "I am becoming more and more interested in you!"
