Chapter 187: "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix", two music tracks for the appearance of the movie characters
The audience was stunned.
The Voice of the Heart Orchestra completed its performance of Flight of the Bumblebee.
The recording hall was deathly silent, without a single applause, until the band members stood up and left their seats and the audience came to their senses, then thunderous applause broke out.
“It’s wonderful!”
“It’s such a refreshing audio-visual experience!”
Lin Zhixing looked at the positive reviews from the audience around him and nodded. As a world-class masterpiece, it deserved the applause and cheers.
“Thank you for the wonderful performance of the Soul Voice Orchestra!”
The host Miaomiao walked back to the stage with a smile, "Now, please invite the judges to comment on the Voice of the Heart Orchestra. First, please invite judge Wang Yuehua to comment."
The camera turned to the judges' panel.
Wang Yuehua held up a five-star scoreboard and commented with admiration: "Exquisite, fast, skillful, a feast for the ears!"
Xie Chunhong also raised her "five stars" scoreboard and gave a thumbs up, praising: "It takes a country person to experience the feeling of wild bees flying freely, covering the sky and earth, and moving up, down, left and right. This song really has that kind of artistic conception!"
Huang Xiao and Li Yumin looked at each other, and raised the full score sign together with a smile, "We just discussed it and both agree that this piece will be popular and will become a virtuoso piece for piano performance! Full marks without a doubt, excellent composer, excellent musician!"
Of the forty public judges in the audience, a total of thirty-nine raised the "support" signs, and in the end, "Voice of the Soul Band" got just one vote short of a perfect score.
Cheers rang out again.
Lin Zhixing was not very satisfied with this result. This song should undoubtedly have received full marks.
There's nothing you can do about being deducted a vote. All you can say is that there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people.
The opening alone brought a lot of pressure to the contestants who came out later.
Only a perfect score can defeat the Voice of the Soul Band, but so far no band has ever scored a perfect score on this stage.
Amidst warm applause, the members of the Voice of the Soul band waved goodbye and left the stage.
The host Miaomiao walked back to the center of the stage and said, "Thank you for the wonderful performance of the Voice of the Heart Orchestra. Which band will perform next? Please look at the big screen!"
"Don't hit me!"
"Don't hit me!"
The bands that have not yet performed are all very nervous at this moment, hoping that they will not be the next to perform.
They all know clearly in their minds that whichever band's turn it is, will most likely be ignored.
On the stage screen, the scrolling band information stopped.
As they expected, the next three orchestras all met with a cold reception until the Vienna Orchestra and the Philharmonic Orchestra appeared, and the atmosphere warmed up.
The songs they played were all old ones, which did not give the audience a sense of freshness or eye-opening feeling.
In the end, the Vienna Orchestra received 75 votes, the Philharmonic Orchestra received 73 votes, and none of the other orchestras even received more than 70 votes.
The Vienna Orchestra, once the favorite to win the show, suffered two consecutive defeats. The members of the orchestra were all stunned after seeing the results, with faces full of unacceptable expressions.
I thought the program team invited me to go through the process and win the championship.
I didn’t expect that they came all the way here just to compete for the second place!!! The members of the Philharmonic Orchestra were also very upset. They had originally thought that by participating in this program, they could compete with outstanding foreign orchestras to increase their popularity and status.
Wow, I came to this show and was beaten up by two new bands.
If this trend continues, his worth will be reduced.
…
"This "Flight of the Bumblebee" is so amazing that it has defeated the Philharmonic and the Vienna Orchestra!"
"The extremely fast melody of this piece is still imprinted in my mind. There is no instrument or music that can cover it tonight!"
The audience was talking about it, and generally believed that "Flight of the Bumblebee", which was close to a perfect score, was the ceiling of the night and no other song would be able to surpass it.
Even the contestants who played backstage thought so.
Listen to the discussions around you.
Lin Zhixing fiddled with his bangs twice, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly.
"Flight of the Bumblebee" is imprinted in my mind, and surely no musical instrument can cover it?
How is it possible!!!
Among all kinds of musical instruments, suona is the king, it is used either to ascend to heaven or to be worshipped in the hall.
A thousand-year-old pipa, a ten-thousand-year-old zheng, a lifetime of playing an erhu. When you first come into the world, you are excited, and the play ends when the suona sounds.
As the music started and the cloth was covered, the whole village, young and old, waited for the food to be served, some walked away, some carried the coffin, and a sea of white followed behind. As the coffin was lifted and buried, relatives and friends began to cry.
The sound of the suona alone can rival the entire orchestra! It can be said that it is a command that no one dares to disobey.
Let the bullets fly for a while!
You are about to feel the charm of the king of musical instruments!
“Thank you Philharmonic Orchestra for the wonderful performance!”
The host Miaomiao pointed to the stage screen and said, "Now let's welcome the last band tonight. Please look at the big screen!"
On the stage screen, the scrolling band information stopped.
【Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix】
【Composition: He Yi】
【Performed by: Tang Music Group】
"A hundred birds are heading for the seam?"
"Another work of the Master of Unity! Is he a man or a woman, old or young? I'm so curious, ahhhh!"
"Look forward to it. Only new songs can give you a chance to win."
…
"come on!"
"Let them feel the instruments of their ancestors!"
"Let's win first place tonight!"
After some mutual encouragement and support, the members of Tang Music Band, led by Zheng Lili, came to the center of the stage, and the audience gave warm applause.
They were still dressed in their elegant Tang suits and cheongsams today. When the audience saw the leader Zheng Lili standing at the front with a suona in her hand, they were all stunned.
"The main instrument in the orchestra tonight is suona?"
"Isn't this instrument a bit low-brow? I feel like it has no chance of winning against Flight of the Bumblebee!"
It is normal that some audiences have tinted glasses towards playing the suona. Even some music colleges' instrumental music departments do not have teachers who teach suona. It can be said that this instrument is gradually fading out of people's sight.
Zheng Lili used to be best at playing the suona, because her grandfather was a very good suona player. But after entering university, she realized that the suona was one of the least developed musical instruments.
If graduates who study musical instruments have to open classes to teach students the instrument at the very least, then if they study suona, it would be very difficult to recruit students.
It was also due to the reality that she developed her expertise in playing the Xiao and the Di.
…
As the members of the Tang Music Band took their positions, the noisy scene gradually quieted down. Under the name of "Unity", they wanted to see what the song was like.
The camera was focused on Zheng Lili and the suona in her hand.
The suona in her hand was not ordinary, it was a small suona.
The characteristic of the small suona is that its sound is particularly crisp and clear. When imitating some bird calls, it will be very smart, just like being in a real forest.
After the orchestra conductor waved his baton.
"du～～"
Zheng Lili took a deep breath and blew it. The breath was long and sad, and a sad atmosphere came over her.
At the same time, the stage screen lights up.
The scene shows hundreds of birds coming to pay homage to the phoenix after its death, and the Tang Music Orchestra playing at the funeral.
The audience was inspired by both hearing and vision, and they all remembered the funeral in the village. An audience member sitting in the last row had originally adjusted his chair very low, but he immediately adjusted it back and sat upright.
The moment I closed my eyes and listened, I inexplicably felt like I was lying in a coffin.
Although Zheng Lili is the protagonist, the performances of other members of the orchestra also add a lot of color to this song.
With a clear and short sound like a bird's song, the style of the painting suddenly changed.
The chirping of birds creates a vibrant scene of nature with singing birds and fragrant flowers.
The video footage also changed to the scene of the Tang Music Band playing at the wedding.
“What a master!”
Huang Xiao secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart. When he heard this, he felt that the person who could compose such a suona piece "He Yi" should be between 50 and 60 years old.
…
At the climax of the song.
Zheng Lili's 48-second long voice without changing the tone made the scene freeze and everyone was stunned.
After getting the song "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", Zheng Lili even went back to her hometown to study it with her grandfather.
Because this piece of music is very difficult, whether it is the rhythm, melody or the test of lung capacity, it is extremely demanding. Even among professional suona players, less than half can play "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" well.
The 48 seconds without changing the pitch actually uses the "circular breathing method", a technique required for both flute and suona, but Zheng Lili is particularly proficient in it.
Lin Zhixing in the audience was completely conquered by her performance. He only knew that she was good before, but he didn't expect her to be so good.
The audience was convinced and their impression of them changed greatly.
I even forgot the tune of "Flight of the Bumblebee" I was just singing. I was completely brainwashed.
“She’s such a good blower!”
"When I was a kid I thought this stuff was vulgar, now I think it's me who is vulgar!"
"What's 40 seconds? If I were given a suona after a day's work, I would be able to blow for an hour."
…
Finally, as the screen video showed the Tang Music Orchestra performing at the Full Moon Party, the song came to an end.
“Nice!”
“The instrument of our ancestors is the cow!”
After the performance, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and the atmosphere was no less than when "Flight of the Bumblebee" ended.
Backstage.
The members of the Vienna Orchestra were all attracted by this ancient oriental instrument. They thought the sound was so special and the performance was so wonderful! Other orchestras were also impressed and praised He Yi as a talented composer.
“Thank you Tang Music Group for the wonderful performance!”
After the host Miaomiao returned to the stage, she said, "Now, please invite the four judges to comment!"
"The style of the song is rich, containing both sadness and joy. The arrangement is amazing, and the video is well made!"
“I have to praise the suona player. His performance is very high!”
All four instructors tacitly gave full marks. If they gave lower scores, it would definitely be a problem with their appreciation ability. They also gave positive reviews.
…
After the votes were tallied, host Miaomiao returned to the stage to announce the results.
Tang Music Orchestra and Voice of the Heart Orchestra tied for first place tonight, Vienna Orchestra came in second, and Philharmonic Orchestra came in third.
【bite!】
[The cumulative tasks have been completed, and the rewards will be distributed at midnight...]
…
…
Eleven o'clock at night, inside the hotel.
"Brother Lin, I have a good martial arts movie. If you are not sleepy, let's watch it together."
"good."
Lin Zhixing, who was lying on the bed and browsing Weibo, was very excited after reading the good reviews, so he followed Dong Chen to watch the martial arts movie using the projector.
Tonight, "Flight of the Bumblebee" and "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" were both loved by netizens, and there was also a very hot topic on Weibo.
——Who is Unity?
Some netizens guessed it was an old man, some guessed it was a middle-aged uncle, and some guessed it was an aunt. It was quite interesting.
Twelve o'clock sharp.
【bite!】
[Cumulative tasks completed (7), congratulations to the host for obtaining the "God of Gamblers' Entrance Song", the soundtrack for the movie "God of Gamblers".]
As the system prompt sounded, all memories of the song were restored.
The song was composed by famous musician and singer Lowell Lo, and was used for Gao Jin's appearance in the movie "God of Gamblers".
No one can win against Chow Yun Fat with this BGM. The listener's movement speed will be reduced by 80%.
Lin Zhixing couldn't help but miss his college days.
Every time I win the game of Landlord, I will quietly take out my phone, turn up the volume to the maximum, and then play this song...
This song can definitely enhance a person's aura.
Lin Zhixing stroked his chin and thought quietly.
I wish someone would think of me immediately whenever this song is played.
【bite!】
[Cumulative tasks completed (8), congratulations to the host for obtaining the soundtrack "Arrogant and Laughing at the Waves" for the movie "Huang Feihong".]
The system prompt sounded again, and Lin Zhixing, who was distracted, curled up the corners of his mouth.
Although "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" is a famous suona piece, when it comes to music with suona as the main melody, the most popular ones are probably the other two.
One of them is from the soundtrack of Tony Leung's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story 3" called "The Buddha's Light Appears", and later Jacky Cheung sang the song "Dao Dao Dao" with the accompaniment.
Another song is well-known to people born in the 80s and 90s. It is the song sent by the system, "Arrogant and Laughing at the Waves", which is the soundtrack of "Once Upon a Time in China" composed by Master James Wong.
When the suona sounded, I was filled with passion and I wanted to play ten...
The BGM that brings invincibility is just like the appearance of Huang Rihua's version of Qiao Feng. If you want to defeat Huang Feihong, someone must unplug the speaker.
After Lin Zhixing got this song, his blood boiled. He kicked the quilt away, stood up and did a set of punches beside the bed.
Dong Chen glanced at the martial arts movie that was playing, then looked at him punching and kicking, and asked in surprise, "Brother Lin, what kind of martial arts are you practicing?"
Lin Zhixing put his hands in his pockets, twitched his lips and said, "Street dance."
“Awesome!”
"Don't talk, inspiration comes to me!"
Lin Zhixing reached out to interrupt Dong Chen who was giving a thumbs-up, frowned and emphasized: "I really want to recite a poem now."
Dong Chen immediately covered his mouth, fearing that his hard-earned inspiration would disappear. He held his breath and watched quietly.
"ah……"
After a sigh, Lin Zhixing paced around the room twice as if Yuan Hua was possessed, raised his hands, closed his eyes and chanted.
"Facing the waves with pride"
"The blood is like the red sunlight"
"Courage is like iron and bones are like steel"
"A broad mind and a long vision"
That’s right, the lyrics of this song are also very awesome and can be regarded as a classic that has influenced a generation. It is "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" sung by George Lam, which has also been covered by Jackie Chan.
As the music started, it was as if I saw my younger self with the dream of becoming a martial arts hero.
The songs in the next episode are a bit interesting. One is the soundtrack for God of Gamblers’ appearance, and the other is the soundtrack for Wong Fei-hung’s appearance. If these two songs were to compete with each other.
Lin Zhixing raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Without a doubt, the winner must be "Arrogant and Laughing at the Waves".
Tang Music Group is really going to rise!!!
After all these operations, Dong Chen was dumbfounded. This was probably a gift from God. People probably wouldn't believe it if he told them.
Dong Chen could not find any other adjective to describe it except "the God of Literature has descended to the earth."
At the same time, a question popped up in my mind, "If I show Brother Lin the Tokyo Love Action movie and get inspired, what kind of song or soundtrack will he create?"
…
It was one o'clock in the morning and everything was quiet.
【bite!】
【Scene mode has been triggered! 】
[Congratulations to the host for winning the island country's national anthem "Tokyo Fever"! 】
As the system prompt sound suddenly rang, Lin Zhixing was stunned for a moment and slowly pulled up his pants.
As a model youth, I have no memory of this song at all.
That’s right, he just pulls the progress bar directly.
