Chapter 111 New Concept of Popular Folk Music

The performance continues.

The next one to play was Han Xuefei. This was a junior at Shenyang Conservatory of Music. It happened to be summer vacation. When I saw the county was doing this activity, I signed up for the idea of ​​exercise.

Han Xuefei studied Guzheng major at Shenyang Conservatory of Music, and her skills were naturally very solid. During the selection, she won unanimous recognition from the two judges and other actors with her song "Fisher Boat Singing Evening".

Today on stage, Han Xuefei still performed this song.

She was dressed as white as snow, with long hair with clear soup noodles, a slightly thin melon-shaped face, and delicate facial features. Although she was not as beautiful as Jiang Ya, she was also a standard beauty. However, Han Xuefei was beautiful, but she looked a little cold, and her skin was better than snow. She contrasted with the white clothes, which was a bit unworldly. Coupled with the calm and calm expression on her face, she looked a little like the little dragon girl in Jin Yong's paintings.

Such a beauty, coupled with the plain song "Fishing Boat Singing Evening", immediately changed the previous passion and a little more quiet.

A beam of chasing light hit the center of the stage, making the shadow look a little lonely.

One person, one zither, and one clear sound floated in the air of the theater, and every note was so transparent and so clear that it seemed to calm people's hearts.

It is rare that such a slow song would allow these audiences to listen to it patiently without whispering. This is naturally not just the magic of music, but Han Xuefei's appearance has reached a perfect unity with this song, which has made the music form a very strong sense of picture. Although most people do not understand the guzheng and have never heard of this song, this does not prevent them from appreciating this song and liking this song.

Han Xuefei put a long pick in her fingers, sometimes skipping past the strings of the zither, bringing up a string of arpeggios like flowing water, sometimes plucking the strings with force, making the sound of gold and stone. Her whole spirit seemed to be poured into the zither in front of her. The people and things from the outside seemed to have nothing to do with her and were insulated. She was immersed in the world of music and in this zither.

Liu Yufan, who was sitting in the audience, looked at Han Xuefei with a hint of appreciation. Putting aside Han Xuefei's identity as a student at Shenyang Conservatory of Music, her feelings for the Guzheng are what Liu Yufan values ​​the most. This is undoubtedly a person who loves the Guzheng, who loves the Guzheng from the bottom of his heart, just like he loves the piano from the bottom of his heart. Liu Yufan believes in his own induction. Because of his love, those notes flow from the bottom of his heart, so it will have such a perfect and harmonious effect to outsiders.

A clear sound passed away, and the beautiful artistic conception seemed to float in people's minds and never go away for a long time. This kind of zither art will not be far away even if it doesn't have the lingering sound around the beams!

It was not until someone took the lead in clapping his hands in a "pa" that the audience felt as if they woke up from a dream and gave their warm applause. The song just now was really nice, and the person looked so comfortable. Although they couldn't understand the meaning of the song, it didn't matter, it was enough to be nice. Really good art is appreciated by both the elite and the masses, and has no language or borders.

"It's rare to play a CET-4 song so exciting. Han Xuefei is not simple." Liu Yufan clapped his hands and said with emotion.

"Yes, in recent years, people have better conditions and have invested more and more in their children's education. Take Fu'an for example. As far as I know, there are several people studying in other places of music colleges. In recent years, there have been more and more newcomers in the literary and art circles here, and their professional level is very high. Han Xuefei's foundation is very solid and she will develop very well in the future." Jiang Ya nodded and said.

"Sister, it's my turn. I'll go to the backstage to prepare." Liu Yufan said, picking up the flute bag beside him and saying.

"Well, go quickly, wait and listen to your flute." Jiang Ya waved her hand and smiled.

"Hehe, sister, just look at it. We have been practicing with Teacher Ma for two years, and it will definitely surprise you in a while." Liu Yufan smiled confidently.

"Stop bragging, look at the efficacy!" Jiang Ya said half-jokingly.

Liu Yufan made a victory gesture towards Jiang Ya and turned around and entered the backstage.

Backstage, Liu Yufan met Han Xuefei who had just come off the stage. When the latter saw Liu Yufan, he nodded slightly, showing a reserved smile.

"Sister Xuefei, you play very well." Liu Yufan said with a smile, not hesitating to his praise at all.

"Thank you." Han Xuefei thanked her, and looked at Liu Yufan with some surprise. It was obvious that she was a little uncomfortable with Liu Yufan's enthusiasm. After all, everyone has only been in contact for a few days and doesn't feel very familiar with her. Moreover, she is also a cold and is not used to warm greetings like Liu Yufan.

"Are you in Shenyang Courtyard? Are there any other elective subjects besides playing the guzheng?" Liu Yufan started chatting with Han Xuefei with nothing to do.

"Well, there's nothing else, the piano is a compulsory one." Han Xuefei leaned against the table in the backstage and looked at Liu Yufan and said.

"Oh, you have studied Guzheng in Shenyin for three years. You should be very good at majoring, why didn't you choose a difficult song? For example, "Guangling San" or "High Mountains and Flowing Water"?" Liu Yufan continued to ask with a smile.

"Oh, you have thought about those songs, but I'm afraid that the audience won't like to listen to them. In fact, I'm a little worried about playing this song. The melody of the Guzheng is relatively soothing and gentle, and I'm afraid that everyone will be impatient when listening to it." Han Xuefei explained, and was a little surprised that Liu Yufan actually knew some knowledge of Guzheng. Looking at Liu Yufan, there was also a little more intimateness in his eyes. People are always closer to people who have a common topic with them. Although Han Xuefei is a cold-hearted person, it is also because she has been on campus for a long time and doesn't know the cause of the human relationship accident. It's better to say that she is so lonely than to say that she is so lonely. If she meets friends she can chat with, her temperament is also very cheerful.

"Haha, that's true, but the effect of your performance just now was very good. I saw that the audience below were fascinated by it." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

"I play averagely, and there are many people in school who play better than me." Hearing Liu Yufan's words, Han Xuefei's beautiful eyes were a little more happy. He liked to be praised if he was a human being, and Han Xuefei was no exception.

"You don't have to be polite. Actually, I can tell that you really like the Guzheng. No matter what instrument you play, the high skills you show are not the most important thing. What's more important is whether the music you play has ideas and souls. If you want the music to be good, you must first move yourself and like it first. Otherwise, no matter how fast you play or how dazzling the skills are, it is just a pile of skills. At best, it is considered a high-level etude and cannot be called a song." Liu Yufan said in a silly manner.

"You have such a deep understanding of music!" Han Xuefei's eyes were already a little bright and bright. She didn't expect that the boy who was a few years younger than her had such a profound understanding of music. These words were considered to be in her heart. She has liked playing the guzheng since she was a child, and she liked the clear sound full of ancient meaning. Every time she played a song, she would play it seriously and enjoy the music. She didn't expect that this big boy could actually hear her true feelings from the sound of her piano. Suddenly, she felt like she met a soulmate.

"I'm too much. Actually, I think that if you want the public to accept the Guzheng, you may not have to play music that is very difficult and has a very profound artistic conception. I believe you also know that unless you participate in a professional competition, these music are all unpleasant. Everyone can't understand, don't like to listen, and the people who play will not get the response from the audience and lack passion. This is not possible. Elegant art must also be understood and must follow the trend. Have you heard the concept of popular folk music?" Liu Yufan asked with a smile. He had this idea in his mind a long time ago. After listening to Han Xuefei's performance, Liu Yufan felt that she was very spiritual and couldn't help but express his thoughts.

"Popular folk music? Can folk music be made into popular? I haven't heard of it." Han Xuefei shook her head and said she didn't understand. The big boy in front of her looked much younger than her. How could there be so many novel ideas in her mind?

"Haha, this popular folk music is actually to incorporate folk music into some modern elements, or to display some popular songs and music in the form of folk music..." Liu Yufan was still saying a lot, and suddenly felt that someone was stabbing behind his back. When he looked back, Jiang Ya was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"What are you talking about with the beauty? It's your turn to play!" Jiang Ya looked at Liu Yufan and Han Xuefei in a slight embarrassment. The latter was a little embarrassed by Jiang Ya's view, and a light red flew on her fair cheeks.

"Teacher Jiang." Han Xuefei nodded at Jiang Ya with a smile and said hello.

"Xuefei, you have to be polite. I am no more than two years older than you. Just like Yufan, call me sister. I played well just now, and I was fascinated by it." Jiang Ya said appreciatively.

"Thank you sister." Han Xuefei nodded obediently, and a naive smile appeared on her face, which made Liu Yufan shook his head in his heart.

"Pure, it's so pure. The schools of this era are indeed ivory towers. The students inside are as simple as white paper. Unlike later generations, some college students have become extremely skilled in society early on. Once they enter society, they are like old people who have been living in the same place for more than ten years." Liu Yufan thought with emotion.

"Stop looking, your eyes are straight, ready to go on stage!" Seeing Liu Yufan's excitement, Jiang Ya knocked him without hesitation. The latter rubbed the back of his head and chuckled embarrassedly.

"I know, sister." Liu Yufan skillfully took out the flute, tried the flute film, and made a gesture of ok to Jiang Ya.

At this moment, a solo singer who had just been on stage also retreated, and Jiang Ya immediately went on stage to start the report.

"She is your sister." Liu Yufan and Han Xuefei had a great conversation just now, which made Han Xuefei bolder. Women were all gossipy, and Han Xuefei was no exception. Seeing Jiang Ya leaving, she quickly asked curiously.

"Well, Sister Ya used to teach me the piano, but she was not used to calling the teacher, so she kept shouting like this, and she was used to calling it." Liu Yufan explained with a smile.

"You have a good relationship. Those who don't know think they are brothers and sisters." Han Xuefei said, with a smile on her face.

"Sister Ya is a very good person. You will know after you have been in contact with her for a long time. I won't be chatting anymore, I'll go on stage." Liu Yufan waved the flute in his hand and said.

"Well, go ahead, come on!" Han Xuefei waved her small fist at him and made a cheerful posture.
