After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

Chapter 481

"First of all, I sincerely thank you all for coming. Let me introduce myself. I am Lu Qingfeng, the concert's concertmaster."

There is no host for the concert, and the opening is performed by special musicians.

Since it was his first concert, he first introduced himself, and then introduced the important guests present, including several Shenzhen leaders and many musicians who came from afar.

After the necessary process, there is a general introduction to the entire concert repertoire.

"This is my first time to hold a solo concert, and also my first time to come to Shenzhen and Guangdong Province. It means a lot to me, so I hope that some of the classic classical music can bring some different musical experience to the audience."

"Before coming here, I looked up some Cantonese folk songs, and one of them, 'Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon,' really impressed me."

The people sitting in the audience became excited.

For people from Guangdong Province, this song is almost engraved in their bones, the kind they have been listening to since childhood.

There are many claims that this song originated in the Qing Dynasty and appeared in Cantonese music scores. Whether this is true or not is unknown as there is no supporting evidence.

It is reported that this song was composed by the folk musician Ren Guang.

This piece of music was composed in 1935 while he was serving as a member of the Shanghai EMI National Orchestra. This orchestra was founded by the musician Nie Er, the same Nie Er who wrote the national anthem.

According to the CNKI document "Ren Guang's Biography", this song was created in the summer and autumn of 1935, and a vinyl record was also recorded at that time.

This piece of music is very interesting. At that time, Shanghai was already a place full of foreign culture, decadent and decadent, with European and American styles prevailing. Various Western cultures took root, and music styles such as jazz and tango entered the market, becoming a popular social venue for the upper class.

The lights are bright, the wine is drunk, and the birds are singing and dancing.

Ren Guang, who was in charge of the music department of EMI Records in Shanghai, was exposed to a lot of Western music. He used Yue Opera as the material, integrated Western music techniques, adopted the dynamic tango dance rhythm, and supplemented it with Jiangnan Sizhu style instruments. In addition to this song, he created "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon".

This song is also an extremely special one in Ren Guang's creative career. There has never been any similar musical work since then.

Judging from the creative process, this song has no blood relationship with Cantonese music.

However, its light rhythm and fashionable style are very consistent with the lifelike and interesting characteristics of Guangdong music.

This style is similar to that of songs such as "Rain on the Pipa", "Autumn Moon on the Calm Lake" and "Drunk on the Moon".

Over the years, this song, which blends perfectly with Cantonese music, has been widely used in Cantonese opera, Cantonese songs, and background music for film and television works. As a result, it has become widely circulated here and has become a representative work.

It is worth mentioning that in 1942, this song was changed by the Japanese into the Showa ballad "The Bride of the South". At that time, this song was more popular in Japan than in China.

In its previous life, this piece was re-orchestrated in 1960; in 1975, another musician adapted it for piano solo.

In this world, no one takes action.

Therefore, this musical work did not reach the heights of its previous life and was only circulated around Guangdong Province.

Lu Qingfeng adapted the piece into a violin concerto in one go.

"Next, please enjoy "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon"

After introducing the piece to be performed, Lu Qingfeng put down the microphone and received applause from the audience who were very interested.

The baton waved, the trombone's deep and rich music laid the foundation, the clarinet and flute intertwined, and the cheerful varying notes set the tone for the entire piece.

Then the piano blends in and fades out, leaving only the drawn-out sound of the brass section, rendering the night quiet and mysterious.

Lu Qingfeng set up the violin and waited. At a certain moment, the gentle violin sound unfolded and became the center of the melody.

The wind is light and the clouds are thin, and the moon is rising over the railing.

Lu Jiachi knew that he was a vulgar person, and he never hid this fact about himself.

When I was young, I was very wild. I dropped out of high school before graduating. I was impatient with routine work and a fixed salary, so I tried all kinds of things to make quick money. As a result, I almost got caught operating a sewing machine.

Knowing that he couldn't go on like this, he went south to Guangdong Province to develop and made a fortune.

But I still have no interest in so-called art. I don’t even listen to pop music much, let alone this kind of classical music.

The reason I came here was to build relationships.

So before the concert started, I kept my eyes on the leaders in front of me, thinking about how to meet them by chance.

After thinking about it, I remembered the scene when I went backstage just now, and saw my nephew’s friend, the young man on the stage, and these leaders talking.

When he started introducing the guests on the stage, he quietly pulled his nephew Lu Hui.

"After this is over, we'll go backstage and treat your friends to a meal. They've come all this way, so we have to treat them."

Lu Hui glanced at his uncle.

"Not sure if he has time. The concert is over and he might have other things to do."

He spoke vaguely without giving a precise answer.

"It doesn't matter. We'll decide whether to come or not. It's always a good idea to invite you."

Lu Jiachi also thought so, but he didn't really invite the other party to his home. He just wanted to take the opportunity of going backstage after the performance to see if he could establish some connections.

"Okay, let's talk about it after we're done."

My aunt reminded the two people who were talking.

The formal performance has already begun on the stage.

When Lu Jiachi heard that the piece to be performed was "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", he was stunned for a moment.

He has been in Shenzhen for quite a long time, and when he was interacting with locals in the past, he had heard them sing this kind of folk music.

The prelude sounded, and the accompaniment pattern of the prelude was nothing special, different from the local tunes he had heard, but it had a strong Cantonese flavor, especially the cheerful sound of the flute.

It's not bad, but he thinks that under normal circumstances, he would definitely not spend money to buy a ticket and sit here to listen.

His eyes swept over the young man holding the violin on the stage, and he began to think about his own things again.

Until the melodious sound of the violin pierced my ears.

My whole body trembled, as if a picture was slowly outlined in my heart through the melody, or like a hazy poem.

That feeling reminded him of the Mid-Autumn Festival when he was a child, when the family sat in the yard, the full moon hung high in the quiet night sky, and old-fashioned moon cakes were placed on the table.

I played around the yard with my brothers and sisters.

A calm and peaceful state of mind arises spontaneously.

Lu Jiachi was stunned. He wondered whether his appreciation of music had improved or the other party's piano skills were just too amazing.

I wasn't intending to listen, but I was involuntarily attracted by the sound of the piano.

Before turning around and looking around, every listener focused their attention on the melody paper.

Is this the charm of live concerts?

He stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes and listened quietly.
