Most of the teachers and students in No. 2 Middle School didn't care much about the leaders' clichés and just ignored them. Zhang Yongsheng was a well-informed person, and he immediately reacted quickly. He could hear the elements of overt and covert fighting in the speeches of the two men. Deputy Director Lu obviously supported Jia Zhiguo, but Du Zhicheng refused to back down.
In his speech, Deputy Director Lu repeatedly mentioned the problem of poor performance in the cultural courses of No. 2 Middle School, blaming it on poor school ethos and discipline, and euphemistically proposed that No. 2 Middle School should move closer to No. 1 Middle School. Du Zhicheng, on the other hand, sticks to the teaching strategy for art and sports students and denies the rigid education model of No. 1 Middle School.
During the New Year's Day performance, neither of them could get too angry and just kept it up, but Zhang Yongsheng could still hear the disagreement between the two parties. He sat in the audience and frowned, thinking about how to help Du Zhicheng again. The No. 2 Middle School must be a school that combines culture, arts and sports, and cannot be turned into a student prison like the No. 1 Middle School.
This is not only Du Zhicheng’s education reform strategy, but also the direction that Zhang Yongsheng hopes. He attaches great importance to No. 2 Middle School. If he wants to promote traditional martial arts in the future, he will also make a lot of use of the teaching platform of No. 2 Middle School. In particular, he kept a close eye on the cooperation projects between the No. 2 Middle School and the Provincial Sports Institute.
After the leader finished speaking, the New Year's Day cultural performance began. What surprised Zhang Yongsheng was that the host of this art performance was actually Bai Zhixuan. Bai Zhixuan told Zhang Yongsheng before that she didn't need to prepare for the show, but it turned out that she was assigned the job of host, which surprised him.
Zhang Yongsheng sat in the audience and watched the programs on the stage one after another, and the performances were very exciting. Although the art and physical education students in the third year of high school did not participate in the performance, the art and physical education students in the second year of high school and students from other grades also prepared a variety of programs, which entertained the teachers and students in the audience.
Since there is one more class for sophomores in arts and sports this year than in previous years, the program is richer. Many folk song and dance performances from other counties also came on stage, which was an eye-opener for the students. Folklore programs in these places cannot be seen on TV, they are very rare.
The two cameramen around the stage were also very dedicated. From time to time, they pushed the cart with the camera around the stage and recorded all the performances on the podium. This made Zhang Yongsheng very interested. He didn't know why the school invited them. Such an operation was really rare.
The use of cameras to record live performances usually only occurs in schools in big cities. It is very rare in small counties like Yunshan. If it was a star school like No. 1 Middle School, Zhang Yongsheng would understand. He was quite surprised that even a school like No. 2 Middle School, which was full of bad students, could receive such treatment.
This kind of camera team is not a wedding emcee with a handheld camera. It looks more professional and is likely to come from a news agency or a TV station. Inviting such a team to shoot requires a lot of money, and Du Zhicheng has spent a lot of money.
As the programs came on stage one by one, it was soon the turn of the program for the sophomore science class. Since Li Yuanyuan and others kept this program secret, everyone was looking forward to it with curious expressions on their faces. They were all wondering what the monitor was up to.
After Bai Zhixuan finished announcing the curtain, she stepped off the stage. The curtain on the stage opened, and a four-piece folk music band appeared behind it. In the middle is Li Yuanyuan holding the pipa, on both sides are Liu Wei playing the erhu and Tian Sheng holding the bamboo flute. Next to them there was a dulcimer player for a female classmate, but Zhang Yongsheng didn't recognize him.
He had some impressions of this woman, but he didn't recognize her. She is not in the science class, but seems to be an art student in the art and sports class. She must have transferred from another county. The girl is very beautiful. Although she is not as beautiful as Bai Zhixuan, she is indistinguishable from Mei Xinyue.
The program the four collaborated on was called folk music skewering, which involved stringing together various folk music pieces to perform. This way of playing is relatively common in modern Western music. Through the combination of different music, different auditory effects are reflected, and it is very popular among modern young people.
This is the first time Zhang Yongsheng has seen folk music arranged in a similar way, and it feels very novel. The first two pieces of this program are all familiar pieces. Although the music is very familiar, it becomes different after being strung together, giving people a refreshing feeling.
Zhang Yongsheng squinted his eyes and listened attentively. With the blessing of internal energy, his hearing was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and his hearing effect was far superior to that of ordinary people. Especially in places where the environment is not good, the music has an all-round three-dimensional surround effect in his ears, which is comparable to high-fidelity speakers.
While listening, he crossed his legs and tapped his left hand gently on his knees, with an intoxicated expression on his face. The first two tracks are very good. They are both fast-paced and intense music, which suits his personality very well. But something is wrong with the third track, it’s pop music.
Hearing this, Zhang Yongsheng opened his eyes with an incredible expression on his face. He really didn't expect that folk music could be played like this. Pop music and folk music are completely different systems, and they cannot be mixed together at ordinary times. In the hands of the four people in front of them, they were perfectly integrated.
Pop music played with folk instruments has a unique flavor, giving people a delicate and graceful feeling, making it more melodious. He was quite amazed that music originally played on guitars, electronic keyboards, etc. was played on folk instruments.
Zhang Yongsheng has no special music training and has been music-impaired in his two lives. When I hear good music, I can only say it sounds good, but I can’t say why. I can only add two words, “fuck”. But now he discovered that the idioms used to describe music in Chinese language books were really appropriate.
The performance of the four people not only amazed Zhang Yongsheng, but also the whole school was shocked. It was the first time for everyone to see this new performance form. The teachers and students of the school were amazed by the performance of modern pop music using folk musical instruments, achieving a unique performance effect.
Zhang Yongsheng looked around. All the teachers and students in the school were watching the performance on the stage attentively, with wonderful expressions on their faces. He admired secretly in his heart, no wonder Li Yuanyuan wanted to keep this performance a secret because she wanted this effect. If people knew it in advance, the effect would be greatly reduced.
The performance of the folk music band is definitely not as good as that of professional performing artists, but the effect of this folk music instrument playing popular music is very good. After a string of music is played, folk music, pop music, and classical Western music are mixed together, giving people a hearty experience.
The order and rhythm of these tracks are specially designed by the arranger, making full use of the common points between the tunes to connect them, which can attract the audience's attention. Time passed very quickly, and the ten-minute performance passed by in a flash, but the teachers and students in the audience were still unfinished.
