Chapter 333: The Sanxian Technique of the Wandering String Player (asking for monthly tickets)
God’s fucking status is threatened!
Lin Tian immediately revealed an expression that said "that's enough".
"Then it seems there is nothing to understand."
"What, Teacher Lin Tian, I thought this was very important to you."
“What kind of musician thinks their looks are important on stage?”
"After all, until now there has not been a man who can compete with you, Teacher Lin Tian, in terms of appearance."
"Who cares about this anymore?"
Lin Tian was speechless.
To be honest, he really never cared about such things, although he always felt that his handsomeness had already surpassed others and was ahead of this era.
But he really didn't care.
Only superficial men would consider how they look and whether they can be liked by others.
A real man only cares about one thing! Isn't his 23cm more worthy of praise than his face? It's just that no one can see it on weekdays.
Alas, Lin Tian’s biggest annoyance was that during the competition, he couldn’t write the length when introducing the contestants.
That way everyone will know.
Composition and piano are Lin Tian’s most insignificant strengths.
Only this can be recognized by men all over the world!
If one day, there comes a person who can compete with Lin Tian in length, that would really "threaten his position!"
"If this is not important, then there is really nothing else worth noting about this player."
He Zhichen also looked troubled. "Not only are they not from an academic background, they also have very little experience in competitions. Like you, Teacher Lin Tian, they only started to officially participate in professional competitions last year."
That's strange.
Yao Han asked himself to pay special attention to this player - was it just to pay attention to his appearance? He shouldn't be so boring, right? Thinking back to Yao Han's previous performance, he didn't seem like such a person.
".Oh, there are still some things worth noting."
He Zhichen studied it for a while, paused, and added, "Didn't I just say that he only started playing in the competition last year?"
"Um."
"He didn't leave with a special invitation, but was invited to participate in the Longqin Cup as the first in Hanjiang Province."
"In other words, just like Teacher Gan Yanyu, he was promoted directly from the provincial champion to the Longqin Cup."
Hearing this, Lin Tian was slightly surprised.
It makes sense this way.
This is equivalent to 17-year-old JKL winning the S championship as soon as he debuted.
The more blank his previous resume was.
The more it shows the value of his success.
For a player like this, both his upper and lower limits are terrifying, and the key point is that he is unfathomable.
On the top is Donk, and on the bottom is a passerby who has no competition experience and may be eliminated because of his trembling legs as soon as he steps on the stage.
“There is a blank space that is of particular concern.”
He Zhichen said, "This person's education level is junior high school, which means he has not been to school since junior high school."
"You didn't go to junior high school?"
Lin Tian thought that he and Gan Yanyu were already heavyweights as high school students.
There is also someone here with a junior high school education.
No, you think of our music circle as the rapper circle, right?
The average educational level in the next circle is at least at the technical secondary school level.
In this era when music circles and rich kids generally care more about academic qualifications, if he didn't even go to high school, it's likely that his family is poor and they want him to start working early. "Also, his family situation doesn't seem to be good, but he's 24 years old this year, and there's 0 in the work experience column."
have to.
I only have a junior high school education, my family has no money, and I don’t have a job.
You know what, Lin Tianzhen was quite interested.
It's a miracle that this guy is still alive today.
I can even enter the Longqin Cup.
"Anyway, this is all I know about the situation right now."
He Zhichen said, "Now that the competition has not officially started, there is no point in doing too much research. Every year there are many dark horses, and there are also many players who are very popular in the local area but fall short in the national competition."
After saying this, He Zhichen made a summary speech.
"Anyway, after the preliminary round is over, I will make another evaluation."
"You just need to adjust your mindset with Teacher Gan Yanyu right now."
"Um."
Lin Tian nodded.
He also understood this principle. There was no point in knowing too much about these things before the competition officially began.
After a fight, you will know what kind of opponent you will face.
After all, understanding these things now is more of a spectator mentality.
Anyway, knowing all this, Lin Tian doesn't know how to compose music specifically, so he just plays it the way he wants.
But it's still interesting to read some gossip.
"That's it for now then."
"Um."
"I hope you two have fun, and relax before the competition comes."
"OK."
The phone was hung up.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the door was knocked in time.
Just in time for a phone call, Gan Yanyu had packed up.
Lin Tian opened the door.
Gan Yanyu's outfit in front of him made Lin Tian's eyes light up.
A big hat that is full of summer freshness and a more casual and everyday floral suspender skirt.
Gan Yanyu put on a little light makeup today.
This makeup is not too conspicuous, but just right, adding a touch of refinement to the girl's face, making her look full of spirit.
Seeing this, Lin Tian immediately understood.
He also asked very cooperatively:
"Teacher Gan, what role is it today?"
"Play yourself!"
Gan Yanyu smiled faintly.
Lin Tian asked again:
"It depends on which character you are acting in, right?"
Gan Yanyu has many personalities.
Lin Tian wasn't sure which one it was, so he had to ask.
Gan Yanyu immediately pouted her lips slightly, revealing a slightly dissatisfied expression.
"Of course, it's a graduation trip for two classmates who just finished their college entrance exams."
"Oh, this is my true nature."
Lin Tian nodded and asked seriously,
"Would two unrelated male and female classmates normally go on a graduation trip alone?"
"No?"
Gan Yanyu tilted her head, revealing her innocent big eyes.
"At least they have to be boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"
Lin Tian was serious.
"For example, at the graduation ceremony, I confessed my love to you in front of the whole class, and you agreed, and we went on a graduation trip together and came to this place - this is the normal graduation process, Teacher Gan."
Speaking of which, neither Lin Tian nor Gan Yanyu attended the graduation ceremony.
On the one hand, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were preparing for their upcoming trip to Baijing.
On the other hand, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s current identities are not suitable for appearing in such occasions.
It’s not that Lin Tian is narcissistic.
Rather, their influence among students, especially high school and college students, is so terrifying.
It would not be good if the event was turned into a Moonlight and Cat fan meeting.
Disorder is a minor matter.
However, this would ruin the graduation ceremonies of many ordinary students who were not interested in idols, and Lin Tian did not want to take the blame.
"Hey, Lin Tian, your story is pretty good."
Gan Yanyu put her hands together, smiled, and started thinking again, "What do you think? You confessed to me at the graduation ceremony, and then I rejected you, but I still wanted to be good friends with you, so the two of us went on a graduation trip together - how about this setting?"
“.”
Lin Tian was so angry that he laughed.
"How's it going?"
Too lazy to comment.
Lin Tian couldn't comment at all.
If this wasn't a story thought up by Gan Yanyu, who was not very smart, but someone else, Lin Tian would definitely have to greet the other person's family.
"So you want to reject me?" Lin Tian asked.
"How could it be?!"
Gan Yanyu's innocent eyes suddenly widened, and she quickly raised her hands to hold Lin Tian's face.
“Aren’t we telling a story?”
"Since it's all stories, why can't they be lovers?"
“.”
At this time, Gan Yanyu's face actually turned red.
She felt a little guilty and said in a low voice,
“That wouldn’t be so fun.”
——Not so interesting?
What does it mean? ?
Why Lin Tian couldn't understand Gan Yanyu anymore?
Why is it not so interesting to be a couple? No, what is in this guy's head? ? "Or, I think, when you confessed to me at the graduation ceremony, I suddenly ran away, and you didn't know why, so you chased me all the way to BJ"
You can't escape from confessing at the graduation ceremony, right? Lin Tian couldn't help but complain, "Then why did you run away?"
"Because I'm too shy to face it."
"And then what?"
"Then, we met and pretended that nothing had happened, just as if we happened to meet in the apartment. Neither of us mentioned it. I thought it was over, and then you suddenly asked me if I wanted to go shopping, and I nodded and said yes."
"Then classmate Gan Yanyu, would you like to go shopping with me?"
Lin Tian stretched out his hand towards Gan Yanyu.
The girl was stunned.
Her eyes suddenly brightened and stared into Lin Tian's eyes.
Her expression changed from confusion, to thought, and then to a shy blush.
She looked at Lin Tian somewhat at a loss. The sudden panic that flashed across her face made Lin Tian unable to tell whether it was an acting performance or a true expression of emotion.
"good."
Gan Yanyu grabbed Lin Tian's arm and said with a smile.
The boy couldn't help but yelled: "What kind of weird summoning ritual is this?!"
This is the first time that Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu have come to Baijing.
In fact, the skyscrapers in big cities are always the same.
If you really want to experience the local culture, you have to go to the streets and alleys.
“.”
The two of them were squeezed in the crowd in Nanluoguxiang.
Gan Yanyu was holding a string of candied haws in her hand. The hawthorns were wrapped in crystal sugar shells, and they made a crisp sound when you took a bite - this was what she had asked Lin Tian to buy for her just now.
In fact, Gan Yanyu could buy it herself, but she seemed to enjoy the feeling of asking Lin Tian for sweets.
When it was time to pay the bill, Gan Yanyu would rush to hand over her payment code, then give Lin Tian a sly smile.
Sometimes Lin Tian really couldn’t understand Gan Yanyu.
She was obviously very sensible and never wanted to take advantage of anyone. If Lin Tian gave a little more, she would always try very hard to give it back to Lin Tian from other places.
At the same time, she always wanted to be a child.
Acting like a spoiled child and occasionally being "unreasonable".
Let Lin Tian meet some of her small requests.
Even these contradictions intertwined together seem particularly "childish".
Just now, although it was Gan Yanyu who insisted that Lin Tian treat her to candied haws, she ended up paying for it secretly.
However, Gan Yanyu still wanted to make up for Lin Tian, so she was anxious for a few minutes after Lin Tian turned around and found that she had disappeared into the crowd.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She reappeared in front of Lin Tian, holding a blue hairpin in her hand.
"A cloisonné hairpin for you."
Gan Yanyu smiled, picked up the hairpin and inserted it into Lin Tian's hair.
This scared Lin Tian really much. From his perspective, Gan Yanyu was literally stabbing him in the forehead with a hairpin.
"Why would a man like me need a hairpin?"
“But I think it looks good.”
"If you think it looks good, wear it."
"I'd rather see Lin Tian wearing it."
"I don't want it."
“I carefully selected this for a long time.”
Gan Yanyu's voice suddenly became quieter.
Seeing this, Lin Tian sighed helplessly, "Bring it here."
Lin Tian took the hairpin from Gan Yanyu.
The hairpin is a deep blue, like a piece of sky after rain solidified on the metal. The blue is interspersed with fine golden lines, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
Placed under the sun, the little blue flowers sparkle.
It is the color of Gan Yanyu's eyes.
It does look good, indeed. Of course, Lin Tian couldn't pin this thing on his head, the only place he could pin it on was his bangs, and it would look stupid to pin it to the side.
But Lin Tian still pinned the hairpin on his ear.
In this way, it can be considered as wearing it.
“.”
Gan Yanyu looked at Lin Tian and a bright smile soon appeared on her face.
"It looks good."
"Pinch, pinch, pinch."
Lin Tian cooperated with the child and made a strange cry like Tao Zhe.
The two continued to stroll along the street.
On both sides of the alley are old houses with blue bricks and gray tiles, red lanterns hanging at the door and signs of "Old Beijing Noodles with Soy Sauce" and "Bean Milk Fried Noodles" posted on the walls.
The air was filled with the sweet aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts and the rich garlic flavor of braised pork and steamed buns, mixed with the melody of "What a Beautiful Violet" played by an erhu artist in the distance.
Gan Yanyu suddenly grabbed Lin Tian and said, "Look! That old man is blowing a candy figure!"
She pointed at a white-haired old man at the entrance of the alley. He held hot syrup in his hand and blew out a phoenix with wings so thin that they were translucent.
Lin Tian smiled and took out his cell phone:
"Then I'll take a picture of you, stand over there."
As a result, Gan Yanyu stuffed the candied haws into his mouth.
"Try it first, it's sweeter than the sago I made last time!"
“.”
Lin Tian was still in a daze, biting a candied haws in his mouth, but Gan Yanyu had already run up to the white-haired old man and started buying little candy figures.
When you come to Baijing, you can’t miss the local specialties.
Just like that, after Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu walked on the pedestrian street for an hour, they both felt a little tired.
Lin Tian planned to take Gan Yanyu to a restaurant to sit down and eat something and take a rest.
The two turned into a small alley, avoiding the hustle and bustle of the main street.
There were a few old-fashioned sweatshirts hanging on the clothesline in the alley, and a few old-fashioned bicycles were piled in the corner, with vegetable baskets in the baskets. A ginger cat was lazily lying on the top of the wall, the tip of its tail wagging from time to time.
Lin Tian found a store called "Yao Ji Fried Liver".
This restaurant is said to be on the list of must-eats for Beijing residents on Xiaohongshu.
Although the stuff on Xiaohongshu is not very reliable most of the time, if you don’t know any locals, you really can only look for it there.
However, Lin Tian chose this store only after carefully comparing its reputation.
When we arrived at the store, although it was not yet time for dinner, there were more people here than we had expected.
There are red lanterns hanging at the door of the store, and New Year pictures in the style of old BJ are posted on the wall. The aroma of soy milk and luzhu wafts through the store, and the boss greets customers in Beijing dialect.
The store is very small, and the tables and chairs extend all the way to the front of the store, with about seven or eight tables arranged.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tian knew that he had come to the right place.
He and Gan Yanyu found a table at the door and sat down. After ordering a few hot dishes recommended by the boss, Lin Tian rubbed his hands expectantly.
This environment, this aroma, this dining atmosphere.
It’s really genuine. Lin Tian was still immersed in his own little comfort.
At this moment, Gan Yanyu, who was standing beside him, gently pulled his sleeve.
"Lin Tian, look at that person"
Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked in the direction of Gan Yanyu's finger.
It's just two or three tables away.
Under the table, there is a cello.
And the owner of the cello——
It was the man who was wolfing down his food at the table at this moment.
He has such a distinctive look——
He was wearing a torn black windbreaker, his hair was a mess like a bird's nest, and in front of him was an empty bowl of stewed pork, some leftover burnt doughnuts, and a dish of completely eaten mustard dumplings.
The cello is obviously a dignified and elegant instrument, but next to this man, even the case looks like it was damaged in battle.
There were yellowed bath tickets, expired Daoxiangcun snack tickets, and pigeon whistles and cricket jars attached to it.
Just then,
"Snap!"
The man put the bowl back on the table. He licked the sesame paste on his fingers, took out his bow and knocked on the bowl, "Boss! Check out!"
Hearing this, the bald boss rushed out holding a frying pan and asked, "What's the matter? 128 yuan! WeChat or cash?"
The man grinned and patted the coffin-shaped cello case at his feet: "I don't have any money today, can I play a song for you?"
"What the hell???"
The bald boss's eyes suddenly widened.
"I said, I'll play a song for you, just as if I paid you, how about that?"
The man said with a grin.
As soon as these words were spoken, the other customers nearby all turned their eyes over to him, as if they had already noticed this peculiarly dressed man out of the corner of their eyes.
Immediately, some people who just wanted to watch the fun started to make a fuss:
"This grandson must have drunk too much soy milk and become stupid!"
"Call the police! He must be a poor artist who has moved to Beijing!"
"Hahahaha, you know what, I've encountered this before. A street singer insisted that he would become a big star in the future. He asked the boss to treat him to a meal."
Listening to the laughter of the onlookers, the man took his time and took out the cello from its case.
As soon as the cello came out, Lin Tian also grimaced at the sight.
Those who like cello really can't bear to watch this.
This was also a battle-damaged cello, with so many scratches on the body that Lin Tian couldn't even count them.
Considering the man's behavior of hitting the bowl with the bow just now.
It seems that it is not impossible to pick up a cello and hit someone with it.
What Lin Tian had always wanted to see Gan Yanyu do seemed to happen frequently to this man.
Watching the man set up the damaged cello, Lin Tian even wanted to sell him his and Gan Yanyu's cello.
"Listen!"
The man shook his head, raised the bow and drew it twice in the air, as if he had found the right emotion.
Then, the strings were pulled.
A melodious and rapid piano sound was heard.
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were both stunned.
It sounds familiar, but I can't tell what song it is.
After listening for a long time, I could barely understand it.
Rub, it's a very famous song in the world - "Spring Overture".
But he changed it into a dark jazz style! The man's bow bounced on the strings like an electric shock, and the sound of the strings was like stepping on a deformed firecracker.
So strong!
Don't comment on anything else, just watch this performance.
Lin Tian immediately realized that this pianist was not simple.
Before he could continue to confirm.
Next, Lin Tian watched a performance that he would probably never forget in his life. After playing a section, the man suddenly kicked open the guitar case.
He took out a jinghu and placed it on the cello.
I used a cello bow to play the jinghu! The jinghu's shrill sound was like nails scratching a blackboard, while the cello's bass was pressed into the tune of an old BJ: "Mo~ mirror~"
At this time, the man opened his mobile phone again and played a recording of a pigeon whistle. He then played the whistle and imitated the call of a red bird.
This is the bird-raising culture of the old Beijing, but when it comes to men, it becomes more and more weird the more they look at it."
The bald boss who was cursing at first was stunned after hearing this.
After a while, he finally realized: "This grandson is playing the same suona tune that was hired for my father's funeral?!"
"Fuck! You're crazy!!"
"It sounded pretty good earlier, why did you suddenly start playing something like that?"
"He must have some problem with his brain, right?!"
The onlookers started cursing.
However, Gan Yanyu, who had been watching this scene quietly from beginning to end, showed a slight look of surprise at this time.
"He is using the cello to imitate the 'scattering sesame seeds' technique of the sanxian."
“It’s amazing that you can play to this level.”
Gan Yanyu said softly.
Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu, a little stunned.
"Sprinkling sesame seeds" is a fast finger-rolling technique in sanxian playing, and it is named because the sound is dense like scattered sesame seeds.
The performer uses the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of his right hand to pluck the strings quickly and alternately, producing a series of fine and continuous notes, like raindrops hitting lotus leaves, or the rustling sound of wind blowing through bamboo forests.
I can do this to any extent I want.
The cellist in front of me has unfathomable strength.
No wonder, Lin Tian looked at the man again, as Gan Yanyu showed such a surprised expression.
At this time, he turned his attention to the man's appearance.
During the rapid performance, Lin Tian looked at the man's face carefully, and his brows became increasingly furrowed.
Under the dishevelled appearance,
This guy's facial features seem quite handsome?
