Chapter 163: Come together even if the car overturns
We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and Chu Qingmian’s sticky energy has increased again, and her watery eyes are chasing him.
"How's your song selection going?"
Su Chengyi felt very guilty when she was looked at by these clear eyes.
If he didn't find a new topic quickly, Chu Qingmian would probably ask him curiously why he went so far to get a haircut.
"There are several alternatives."
Seeing that he had reached the main topic of the conversation, Han Bing called up a few videos on his mobile phone to show him.
It can be seen that the two of them had discussed it carefully before he joined, covering various styles of music.
The Japanese lyrical style "The Street Where the Wind Lives"; the classical repertoire "Liang Zhu", "A Daughter's Love" and "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain"; R&B and Chinese style combinations of "Lanting Preface", " Blue and White Porcelain" and "Fireworks Easily Cold".
When things have developed to this point, Su Chengyi's mentality about performing shows has changed slightly.
In the beginning, he actually had the idea that he was forced to do business and do whatever he wanted. Anyway, the school wanted to push him on stage to perform, both covertly and overtly. The purpose was self-evident.
The purpose is to take advantage of his recent popularity and high topicality to make a large-scale publicity for No. 1 Middle School, so that there is no need to worry about the enrollment in the second half of the year.
In addition, I also want to take advantage of his last moments before graduation to completely tie the three words Su Chengyi to Tang'an No. 1 Experimental Middle School and make him an iconic figure, like a poster girl Same.
This kind of behavior that is slightly like a thief is actually very unpleasant. If it were in the previous life, Su Chengyi would definitely perform a U-turn and leave. It would be useless for anyone to come and love whomever.
But now his mind has changed, and his personality is much more docile and easy-going.
After all, if you live your life again, you have to do many things that you have never done in your previous life, so that you will have no regrets.
No matter what the school's purpose is, it is not bad to have such an opportunity to perform on stage in a large-scale event and have full control of the design.
Before, I only appeared as a tree in the background, which was so stupid.
And now I see how much Han Bing and Chu Qingmian paid attention to this performance, and when Chen Jinzhi comforted him last time, he mentioned that the reason why he was willing to sing Huangmei Opera was to share happy memories with him. .
These are enough to cheer him up, and it is impossible for him to be the one who messes up and drags down the team.
Finally, the erhu is not just an ordinary musical instrument to him, but also has a very important meaning. It contains the memory of the deceased loved ones and the courage to say goodbye to the past and move forward.
Su Chengyi once dusted it off, but now he is picking it up again. He also wants to show the charm of this national musical instrument in front of everyone and correct some people's stereotypes about the erhu.
If grandpa could see it, he would be very happy. After all, he is a person who treats folk music so seriously and loves it.
Su Chengyi carefully watched these videos and came up with some new ideas, but for the specific details, he and Chu Qingmian had to play together first to judge the feasibility.
In fact, it sounds from the video that the two instruments in these songs are well matched.
However, the school anniversary is a live performance, and it is also a bit competitive, so there are obviously more aspects to consider than simple video recording.
For example, the creation of a live atmosphere, the ability to stir up the audience's emotions, and the judges' consideration of the difficulty of the track.
"Although "The Street Where the Wind Lives" is nice to listen to, this kind of refreshing and healing style is not suitable and does not have an advantage in competitive competitions. It may not be as memorable as Class 9. Society is shaking."
Su Chengyi said as he took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.
“Let’s look at the order of appearance.”
Han Bing curled his lips,
“I think if we appear behind them, the judges might feel that their ears have been purified.”
“Yes, but it’s too random. It’s better for us to focus on our own show. You don’t have to take off your shoes, I’ll have to mop the floor anyway.”
Now that there are more and more visitors at home, Su Chengyi starts to think about buying a few more pairs. After leaving the slippers at home, he walked into the living room and turned on the air conditioner.
“And the elements of Huangmei Opera must also be taken into consideration.”
Chu Qingmian still took off her shoes before walking in, and squatted down to put the shoes away neatly.
Su Chengyi then noticed that she was actually wearing a pair of light blue AJ11s today, which matched her blue and white school uniform very well.
It is relatively rare for girls to wear basketball shoes, but this one, which is relatively unpopular, is even rarer.
Su Chengyi opened the shoe cabinet and put Yangliu's women's slippers at her feet.
“If you turn on the air conditioner, you will catch a cold if you step on the floor.”
Chu Qingmian nodded obediently.
Raising his head to see Han Bing with his hands on his hips and a speechless expression behind him, Su Chengyi paused and said,
"There are no slippers anymore, just put on your shoes and come in. Uncle Gao, you too "
Uncle Gao walked at the back. He didn't want his mother-in-law to worry about this. He just nodded, pulled up a chair and sat down.
The cold air from the air conditioner quickly lowered the temperature of the entire room. The afternoon sunlight reflected through the glass windows onto the wooden floor. Su Chengyi walked over and closed the curtains.
Chu Qingmian's eyes followed his footsteps all the way, and the floor was obviously spotless.
"What's wrong?"
Su Chengyi poured a cup of warm boiled water for everyone and noticed her gaze.
Chu Qingmian shook his head, feeling that his whole body exuded a certain spotless temperament.
“The next step is to choose among several Chinese-style songs from classical opera and entangled relationships.”
Speaking of this, Su Chengyi suddenly thought that Tangle Lun's new album "The Greatest Work" has been released.
Although the final evaluation given by the public is not so satisfactory, they all feel that it is incomparable with his early songs.
But Su Chengyi also agreed with his own statement - "It's the memories that add points to everyone."
"Which of these three Chinese-style songs does Mianmian like better?"< br>
Han Bing knew that Chu Qingmian liked to entangle Lun very much, so he asked directly.
"Well, in my case, it's still "Preface to Orchid Pavilion". I like the lyrics of this song very much, compared to "Fireworks Easily Cold" is too sad!"
Chu Qingmian took a sip from the cup. Boiled water, replied with a slight tangle.
Su Chengyi followed her words and recalled the lyrics of these two songs and the feelings they expressed.
One is: "It has nothing to do with the wind and the moon, I will wait for you to return to the preface. With a single stroke, there are thousands of waves on the shore."
One is: "It rains heavily, the old hometown The grass is deep. I heard that you are always alone."
In fact, I quite like it.
“Let me tell you my thoughts first. The program duration stipulated by the school this time is about five minutes. In the sample video selected by Han Bing, the part of "Butterfly Lovers" is two minutes and six seconds, and the other durations are It’s also about two minutes.
If you add in the Huangmei Opera section, it’s about one minute longer, and the remaining time is still the same. "It's very abundant."
Su Chengyi poured himself a glass of water, and then said slowly:
"The point of my random remarks in class was the mixture of forms, so we don't necessarily have to do it. Only perform a fixed piece of music, and you can add a piece of other popular songs at the end of the classical opera that is more suitable for young people.”
Chu Qingmian tilted her head, seeming to be very interested in his proposal.
Han Bing frowned and replied:
"This is a good idea, but how to add it specifically? If it is simply to pause at the end, or directly switch to the popular The music will look very stiff and abrupt, right?"
Su Chengyi smiled and shook his head,
"Of course not, I meant to re-arrange the music so that the inserted part of the Huangmei Opera would be smooth. Sex was also solved at the same time.”
Chu Qingmian's eyes widened for a moment,
"Huh? You can also arrange music?"
"I can't, so I found a foreign aid. You have seen it."
The foreign aid is the familiar face that I saw in Chu Qingmian’s circle of friends last time, in the group photo backstage at the Chinese Style Performance Conference—Mr. Li.
He is a composer with a high status in China. He has written many Chinese-style songs that are famous overseas. He is also an expert arranger.
Su Chengyi opened WeChat on her phone and showed the chat history to the two of them.
To show sincerity, Su Chengyi sent a voice message to Mr. Li, a thirty-five-second voice message.
"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Su Chengyi, I take the liberty to interrupt you. It coincides with the 100th anniversary of Tang'an No. 1 Middle School, and I was invited to participate in the performance as a representative of the senior high school students. However, I have little talent and little knowledge, and I am not very good at repertoire adaptation. I have too many doubts, can I Could you please give me some advice?"
Mr. Li's reply was:
" Cheng Yi, your message has been received, it works. There is no need to be polite between you and Zhiyuan. Lee is lucky if his grandson cooperates.”
"What?? You know Mr. Li!"
Chu Qingmian was shocked.
The last time she went to the Chinese style concert, the teachers who she thought were already very powerful, when they saw Mr. Li, they all nodded and bowed, like minions, like shrimp soldiers and crab generals!
"It's not me, it's my grandpa who knows each other. They have been old friends for many years."
Su Chengyi looked calm and relaxed.
"Although, do you guys in the Chinese style circle speak so politely?"
Han Bing complained accurately.
“I don’t know, my grandpa has been talking like this since he was a child, so I’m used to it.”
Su Chengyi spread his hands.
The two met at the National Conservatory of Music when they were young, and they hit it off immediately, like mountains and rivers, spring and snow.
Mr. Li composed the music and his grandfather played it. As the years went by, their cooperation became more tacit and harmonious.
Both of them are stubborn and will quarrel with each other when they have different opinions.
However, the quarrel will only last for two or three days at most. The ending is either Mr. Li coming to make peace with the teapot, or grandpa sitting in front of the chessboard and sighing, giving various hints to others to call Mr. Li.
After his grandfather passed away, Mr. Li withdrew from the music scene and stopped composing music.
This is probably what Boya Juexian means in the modern sense.
So now asking Mr. Li to come out of the mountain is more difficult than climbing to the sky in a real sense, and it is not something that can be solved with money.
Artists of the older generation like them all have high aspirations and hate the copper-smelling entertainment industry.
Han Bing's usual music listening direction has nothing to do with national style and folk music. She searched for Mr. Li's name in the music player with a little curiosity.
Seeing those extremely familiar childhood film and television episodes, her eyes widened in hindsight.
"OK, now that the problem of song arrangement has been solved, all we need to do is send the selected songs, right?"
With such strong foreign aid, Han Bing stood up happily,
< br>"Damn it, how can a ruined school celebration be so virtuous!"
"That's pretty much what it means."
Su Chengyi also stood up and conveniently took the baby lying on the sofa beside him. Chu Qingmian also stood up.
"Let's go, don't you like "Lanting Preface"? Let's try it out first."
Walking into the last room again, Chu Qingmian's first feeling was: it has become so clean.
Su Chengyi has cleaned it again. He used to skip this utility room every time he cleaned. He sealed this room in dust both physically and mentally.
But now it has started again.
After Chu Qingmian sits in front of the piano, her whole temperament will become different.
Su Chengyi suddenly saw her playing the piano against the moonlight in that abandoned music classroom.
Unknowingly, he stared at her for a long time. Chu Qingmian tilted her head slightly and glanced at him. Only then did he realize that this song started with the erhu.
Su Chengyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then drew the bow and strings, and played a melodious tune.
After a few beats, the sound of piano joined in, suddenly adding a bit of warmth to the sad and sad tune.
"When I read the calligraphy in Orchid Pavilion, my writing is like flowing clouds and flowing water.
When I push the door open under the moon, my heart is as careful as your footsteps. ”
The music moved to my heart. This was the second time the two played together, but somehow it felt like they had rehearsed it tens of thousands of times. They were already in perfect harmony.
Han Bing listened on the side, I just feel that this originally very sad song was played by the two of them with affection and affection.
"No matter how you interpret the word love, it's wrong no matter how you write it.
But I only lack the understanding of your life. ”
The last note ended, and Chu Qingmian played the last key.
“You two are really awesome.”
Han Bing put his hands together and was already in a state of worship.
"I really regret not bringing Xu Yang here now. He is not here now, which makes me the only mortal here again, which is annoying to death."
"Otherwise it will become popular. Just choose this one? I like it so much.”
Chu Qingmian's eyes were bright and she was obviously very satisfied.
"If you want to choose this song, then let's choose "Butterfly Lovers" from the previous one. I think these two songs fit together very well."
Su Chengyi played a small verse with the erhu in his hand Classic tunes.
“Actually, my favorite among traditional folk tales is Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. Many people compare them with the Western Romeo and Juliet, but in fact the two are different.”< br>
“Indeed, I have seen many public accounts talking about these two together.”
Han Bing nodded and agreed with him.
Su Chengyi thought for a while and then continued:
"The story of Romeo and Juliet is like a moth flying into a flame, it is vigorous. The two fell in love at first sight, fell in love, and then The separation between life and death lasted only a few days. This had something to do with the social background at that time. At that time, everyone was in danger and life was short, so we had to deal with it as directly and quickly as possible in our limited life. Express feelings."
"The story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is consistent with the ancient love values. It is a long-lasting love, but their ending is also tragic and tragic, which is consistent with the love values of the time. The social background is also consistent, but the difference is that the idea of turning into a butterfly is added in a very romantic way."
"Look at the lyrics of the second verse of "Lanting Preface". br>
Su Chengyi turned on her phone and pulled the progress bar of the song directly to the second paragraph.
“In the blink of an eye, the beautiful city disappears in an instant.
On Qingshiban Street, you look back and smile gracefully.
Have you ever hated me? You shook your head and sighed. Who made you frown? Beautiful eyebrows,
and deep boudoir, leaving only the smell of rouge
The man flies south, turns around and glances at you crying,
holding a handful of the moon in his hand, remembering how to sleep.
How can you regret it? The embroidered shoes are stitched together with your thoughts, and the needles are filled with resentment.
If a flower resents a butterfly, who will you blame? ”
“It seems like a good fit! ”
Chu Qingmian and Han Bing both came over and looked at the lyrics scrolling on the screen, and couldn't help but sigh.
“Another point is that the lyrics of Huangmei Opera in "Butterfly Lovers" are very classic and nice. But it also depends on whether Chen Jinzhi can go back to singing Liang Shanbo's lyrics. If not, the excerpts must also be selected. Just put a little more thought into it. Nothing else matters.”
Su Chengyi edited a message on his phone and copied the links to the two tracks.
"Please see if there is anything else you want to add. If not, I will send it to Mr. Li first. He will probably send the finished product back the day after tomorrow, and then we will have three days for final rehearsal. Barely enough.”
“One thing, please ask Mr. Li to control the time to about four minutes.”
Han Bing suddenly said seriously.
"Why? Are there any special arrangements?"
Su Chengyi lowered his head and added another sentence, asking curiously.
"You will know when the time comes."
Han Bing smiled with a secretive expression on his face.
"There's more."
Chu Qingmian suddenly raised her hand to interrupt.
"What else?"
""Preface to Lanting" What you shared is the link to Qiuqiu Music. Does Mr. Li have a membership?"
"."
After one last performance of the classic version of "Butterfly Lovers", the three of them managed to finalize the flow of the program.
As meal time approached, Su Chengyi sent the two girls downstairs, and Han Bing got into the car first.
A little fat man ran towards Chu Qingmian from the entrance of the alley like a spinning top. He was about to bump into Chu Qingmian.
Su Chengyi, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
"Chocolate, what are you doing?"
"Ah, it's brother Xiaoyi and the beautiful sister from last time!"
Chocolate looked very happy to see them again.
Chu Qingmian patted Su Chengyi's arm to tell him not to carry him like a puppy, then knelt down and patted his head with a smile.
"Chocolate, what's wrong with you? Be careful not to fall if you run so fast on the street!"
Chocolate's feet finally landed on the ground again, and he straightened his collar in a decent manner. , then replied:
"Su Xiaoxue was finally picked up by her mother just now. I was so happy that I couldn't help running. After watching Barbie dolls all afternoon, I'm going home to watch Tyrannosaurus."
"Hahahaha, Well, go home and watch cartoons~ My sister is coming home too!”
Chu Qingmian pinched his chubby face, waved goodbye to him, then looked at Su Chengyi holding her arms next to her, blinked her eyes, and mouthed silently:
"See you in the evening. "
Su Chengyi nodded, watching her get into the car, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The thrilling experience this afternoon was really a headache, and he was not a person who was proficient in the art of playing both sides.
Fortunately, even though the process was full of loopholes, we managed to hide it in the end.
So it was only now that he finally had a sense of peace that the dust had settled.
Unexpectedly, at the last second when she was about to close the car door.
Chocolate didn’t know what was wrong in his mind, so he suddenly raised his head and asked:
"Brother Xiaoyi, where did that scary sister go at noon?"
Chu Qingmian's hands immediately froze in place.
Thanks to book friends, the world needs nuclear leveling, lowpower for the reward.

Unexpectedly, this side also overturned!
