Chapter 372 "Nightingale"

"Principal, what do you want from me?" Although Luo Quan had basically guessed it, he still had to ask.

The game won't start for a while, but all the big guys are already here.

This competition has attracted so much attention from the public, and many reporters from major media have come. After the competition is over, it won’t be long before it becomes a hot search topic.

In addition, many senior music industry veterans who live in the capital also came this time. They also came here to take a look at these musical talents in Shangyi.

With so many big guys here, the principals naturally led their most proud students to introduce them, so that after graduation, they would have someone to help them talk to them no matter what happened.

Of course, only the best student in the school each month is eligible to enjoy this kind of treatment. The one who enjoys this treatment in Shangyi is undoubtedly Luo Quan.

"Let me introduce to you these seniors in our Chinese music circle." With a proud smile on his face, Principal Li asked Luo Quan to stand in front of the gray-haired old musicians.

"This is Fang Jun, the vice president of the Chinese Music Association, who is also an honorary professor of ethnic music at the Central Conservatory of Music." Principal Li introduced an old lady with silver hair.

"Hello, President Fang." Luo Quan bowed and saluted, understanding the junior's posture very well.

"You are truly a talented person from generation to generation. I have heard your works and you are considered a genius!" President Fang looked at Luo Quan, his eyes full of gratified love for talent.

Those who can communicate here used to be called geniuses. As the Internet becomes more complex, the media increasingly likes to use exaggerated titles to attract attention, and geniuses appear more and more frequently.

So much so that everyone is no longer surprised when geniuses appear everywhere, as if genius has become an ordinary adjective, and sometimes it is not even a complimentary word.

However, what Luo Quan is standing here today is not directed at these young people here. It is true that only she can afford the word genius.

A song "Canon" and a song "Für Elise" made the Western media exclaim that this was the young Mozart of the East. This was an unimaginable and huge change for the Western media, which had always been discriminatory against China.

This also better reflects how amazing Luo Quan's talent is.

"President Fang, you're very complimentary. I still have a lot to learn and improve." Luo Quan was modest in his daily life, but at the same time he took a wrong look at the people around him.

Young people, middle-aged people, old people, all have different looks.

The middle-aged man was the leading professor of two conservatories in Beijing. He looked at Luo Quan with friendly eyes, but when he looked at Principal Li who was laughing, he was full of jealousy.

The young people had a different look. They all looked at Luo Quan. Although their expressions were indifferent, their eyes revealed pride and eagerness to compete with her.

In front of their elders, young people always want to compete with their equally outstanding peers. They have been praised as geniuses countless times before, so it is normal to have a competitive mentality.

"Here, let me introduce to you. This is President Wu of the Central Conservatory of Music. He is a great master in the Chinese piano industry. He was also a famous person who visited the Golden Hall in Vienna." President Li was introducing, but it sounded like Something weird.

"Why are you mentioning these trivial honors?" Dean Wu chuckled and did not show any anger. He just let Dean Li get it.

"Hello, Dean Wu." Luo Quan bowed and saluted. China is a humane society that pays attention to etiquette. It is full of senior leaders. Today, I would probably have to bend down once to introduce someone to her.

But the advantage over Japan is that China doesn’t have to bend so deeply and doesn’t have to worry about lumbar disc herniation.

Principal Wu laughed loudly: "Don't be so polite, you are now a rising music star in China.

It's a pity that if you were admitted to our Central Conservatory of Music, you would definitely get better teaching and publicity. "

Before Luo Quan responded, Principal Li became unhappy: "Why, Old Wu, what you are saying is that we are not good at Shangyi."

Principal Wu waved his hand quickly: "I didn't say that. I just feel that there are many senior musicians living in the capital. If I encounter any problems in music, it is convenient for me to ask for advice."

Principal Li is smiling but not smiling

: "Shang Hai has many seniors, so you don't need to worry so much, Dean Wu."

When it comes to this matter, we definitely can't argue anymore. If Dean Wu continues to argue, it will be equivalent to saying that the seniors living in Shanghai are not as good as the seniors in the capital.

Although it is most likely true, even if it is true, it cannot be said in public.

The atmosphere was a little tense at the beginning, but fortunately, the competition in the Chinese music circle is not as fierce as in Europe and the United States. We often see each other when participating in art performances and variety shows.

A few deans and principals might have choked on their words because of their own schools, but once everyone got the conversation going, the relationship immediately eased a lot.

As the center of this discussion, Luo Quan was naturally questioned by these seniors.

The main thing was to ask her some opinions on Chinese music and Western music. Luo Quan himself had almost no opinions on these, but he couldn't bear to have a whole world of knowledge in his mind, so he chose some answers that were suitable for her age and were somewhat unique. Just come out.

In fact, what can you say? The current environment is like this. It is almost impossible to change in a short time. We can only wait for geniuses to come out one after another to lead the times and change the status quo.

Luo Quan, as the first true genius, has now come out to lay a good foundation, but she alone is definitely not enough.

But fortunately, at least China has a genius like her and there is still hope.

When I think that Luo Quan is only nineteen years old and still has huge room for improvement and his future is limitless, all the senior leaders can't help but want to laugh out loud and exclaim that the future of Chinese music is promising.

However, they will soon stop laughing.

At six o'clock in the evening, the audience, judges and other guests have been gone for a long time, and the contestants have already put on their makeup.

As all the equipment in the background was debugged, amidst a burst of grand music, the host of CCTV began to take the stage to deliver a speech.

This music competition is obviously held in accordance with the standards of the Youth Singing Competition. The host invited is also the very popular male host Sa Beining in recent years. Because he is deeply loved by the audience, everyone also calls him Xiao Sa affectionately. .

After the speech, Xiao Sa also made a few harmless jokes to liven up the atmosphere, just like the previous programs he hosted. Then the competition officially began.

"Now let's invite Fan Ying, the first contestant to appear today. The program he brings is the rap song "Social Man"!"

As a relatively young host, Xiao Sa is relatively familiar with these newly emerging things. It’s not like she has never dealt with rappers before. Everyone on the show is still polite and civilized, so she doesn’t feel anything is wrong.

However, the big bosses, principals, and professors on the judging panel didn’t think so.

rap? When did rap come to a place like this?

This is the first thought in the minds of most judges, except of course those from Shangyi.

"Is rap considered music?" Principal Wu turned to ask Principal Li. It seemed that he really wanted to ask this question. After all, Principal Li had just returned from the United States and had been drinking foreign ink for a while.

Although Principal Li was embarrassed at this time, he was his student after all, so he could only nod his head: "Of course it is, and it is a fairly mainstream music form in the West. It has a low entry barrier, has certain artistic value, and can also be shared with the people." happy."

"Can this thing, which is similar to Allegro, be called music? If all the young people learn this, how will Chinese music develop?" The person who asked the question was Dean Liu of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, and his words were heartbreaking.

Principal Li laughed: "In our college, rap is integrated into the popular department, and there are not many people there, so you are not as worried as you are.

Moreover, I have also listened to Fan Ying's songs. The lyrics are really good and the accompaniment is of a certain level. It is definitely not a vulgar and inferior work.

Moreover, each type of music has a different audience. You can’t think that just because rap has a large audience, it has no merit. "

"Stop arguing, let's listen first and then talk." Vice President Fang ended the discussion. Contestant Fan Ying has already taken the stage. No matter what, it is the respect that the judges should show after watching the contestants' works before evaluating them. .

It can be seen that Fan Ying's expression is a little angry.

But it wasn't because of the comments made by the judges in the audience, because he didn't hear them at all.

His expression is mainly for people who look down on rap on the Internet. As a rapper, what he always wants is to make rap a good music that can be truly recognized by the public. He hopes that one day hip-hop can become a mainstream music in China like Europe and the United States. type.

However, since hip-hop became popular, it has been despised and ridiculed by the public, who think that this thing is just better than those who shout Mai.

Fan Ying has fought against these people countless times, but in the end it was a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, this time he is on the CCTV stage, and he wants to use his music to break the world's view of hip-hop!

So he should keep his anger, turn it into strength, and give the best hip-hop!

Bowing to all the audience, the exciting accompaniment sounded.

The music that Fan Ying presented this time was very different from two months ago. All the previously flawed areas were optimized and modified, and his own singing level has also made great progress, and is no worse than those of senior rappers.

The lyrics he wrote are quite deep, coupled with the passionate performance and the very mature and highly completed accompaniment, he presented the audience with a work that is completely different from most rap music.

This is indeed worthy of being called music.

After the song was sung, Fan Ying stood on the stage panting. The judges in the audience had changed their expressions and paid more attention to him.

The students behind him also gave warm applause.

At the beginning of the scoring session, the ten judges scored together, removing the highest score and the lowest score, and taking the average. Fan Ying finally scored 9.1.

A pretty good score, and Fan Ying finally smiled.

Regardless of the outcome this time, he tried his best and was worthy of his status as a rapper!

Principal Li smiled and said: "Look, I just said this song is not bad. After all, not all hip-hop is garbage. Everything must be viewed dialectically."

The other students didn't say anything and just looked at the next student who came on stage to perform.

The competition continued, and the best musical works from Shangyi took turns to perform on the stage. Each contestant tried his best to bring glory to himself and his alma mater.

Most of the works are of good quality, and there are a few eye-catching masterpieces among them, but they lack the kind of shocking masterpieces.

Everyone knew what they were really waiting for today.

The competition went step by step. Soon, the judges scored one by one, and soon they came to the last place.

Luo Quan is the winner of tonight’s game!

"Now I invite Luo Quan. The work she brings is the new century music "Nightingale"."

It was obviously the first time for Xiao Sa to hear this form of music, and she seemed a little confused.

Before Luo Quan performed, Vice President Fang also asked her to explain the concept of this new century music.

As he said before, Luo Quan repeated those things again.

However, theory is not as intuitive as practice after all. Although the judges roughly understand what is going on, the concept is still not specific enough. After all, it will be clear after Luo Quan performs.

After the theory, Luo Quan's performance began.

Her performance this time was very different from previous contestants. The huge screen in the studio was divided into many small screens. On each small screen was Luo Quan in school uniform, holding different instruments in his hands.

On the largest screen, Luo Quan was sitting in front of the piano, smiling and placing his hands quietly on the keys.

Luo Quan himself on the stage was holding a flute.

ps. BGM of this chapter "Nightingale"

Putting the flute across his mouth, Luo Quan took a gentle breath, and the crisp and sweet flute sound came gently. The exquisite rhythmic tones were like the nightingale whispering under the moonlight in the forest, easily It takes the listener into a wonderful world like a fairy tale.

The sound of the flute faded, the sound of the piano started again, Luo Quan danced with her hands on the big screen, and her body language became a tool for her to express her music.

The human and the piano merge into one, forming a beautiful picture and pleasing music.

This is what she calls an element in new age music, using performances full of beauty to infect the audience!

However, no matter how beautiful the piano is, the core of the piece is still the flute.

The sound of the piano was just an introduction. When Luo Quan's flute sounded again, Luo Quan in several other small screens also began to move, and the violins played slowly.

Several voices merged, and everyone in the audience was shocked.

This style of music is clearly Chinese style, and it is a typical pentatonic scale!

No wonder it’s called Nightingale, it’s indeed a Chinese-style tune, and it’s both melodious and musically excellent!

The professors nodded one after another and exchanged opinions. The wait all night was finally not in vain. This was the shocking music they really wanted to hear.

But the surprise is yet to come. The first two minutes are still Dizi's solo show, although it is indeed as ethereal and graceful as a nightingale, cute and playful, and full of Chinese beauty.

However, compared with the real Chinese characteristic music style, it still feels a little inferior.

That's right, it's that grand and majestic feeling.

China has a vast territory, a long history, and most of its music is magnificent, but this nightingale still feels a little stingy from the current perspective.

If only to this extent......

Without waiting for the audience to question for too long, Luo Quan quickly gave the most perfect response.

The music had reached the calmest moment before the climax, and all Luo Quan on the screen fell silent.

Suddenly, a picture of her wearing a tuxedo command uniform appeared on the big screen, holding her baton high as if waiting for something.

The audience held their breath and began to wait.

There was silence.

Suddenly, the baton in Luo Quan's hand suddenly dropped, and all the sounds came in like thousands of troops, like a silver bottle being broken and a river rushing.

The sound of flute, piano, cello, violin, and the harmonies produced by Luo Quan’s singing voice…………

The eighteen musical instruments recorded by Luo Quan were all started at this time, and she was a symphony orchestra by herself!

The entire studio resounded with majestic music that sounded like the sound of a prosperous age. I don’t know how many listeners had wet eyes at this moment.

This kind of music has not appeared for a long time.

The joy of the prosperous age did not last long. No matter how beautiful the music is, it will eventually end.

All the brilliance experienced will eventually need to be repaid by loneliness.

At the end of the song, only Luo Quan on the stage was left playing the ethereal flute softly, as if in the deep forest under the moon, the invisible nightingale was still calling softly...
