Later, Liu Qingshan pointed at Lao Guo: "Teacher Guo and I have different styles. Everything he sings has a bit of a stick flavor. Young people like me prefer pop music. Is this a generation gap?"
Brother Qian's compliments soon followed: "As long as the ditty you adapted is good and the audience is willing to listen, it doesn't matter if we have abdominal grooves!"
After a round of laughter, Liu Qingshan opened his voice and sang.
This little song is not new in Kyoto. It can be imagined that it was quite popular back then.
Moreover, in the past, there were polishing factories in Kyoto, mainly small workshops specializing in printing, such as Eryoutang and Baowentang. They often produced small songbooks, and this song "Exploring Qingshui River" was included in many small songbooks.
Even in the far-off Northeastern China, the two of them remade the song "Qingshui River", but the title of the song was changed to "Qingshui River".
It was based on the original version, removing the dross, innovating and re-adapting it. Now it has become one of the famous traditional Northeastern folk songs.
There are many different endings to this story, no matter which ending is very sad.
Liu Qingshan's version is closer to the pop style, but the touching factor has not weakened at all. On the contrary, because the singing is easier to bring out emotions, this version The version is obviously more affectionate.
Originally, in order not to delay others' grand encore, Liu Qingshan only sang the two short paragraphs at the beginning.
But when Lao Guo was being fooled, everyone in the audience called on him to sing the entire song, so he took advantage of the situation and sang the full version.
Of course, there is a section that is not suitable for children to omit, but even so, it still interprets a poignant love story in which both parties die for their love very clearly and completely, and moved almost everyone to tears.
The original version of "Exploring Qingshui River" narrates this story with Beijing accent and rhyme, but that kind of singing style with straight words and smooth accents cannot be appreciated by everyone.
To be exact, the old version can only be appreciated by a small number of people. Most young people think this singing method sounds "ear-piercing".
One of the important reasons is that the old man sang the song "Don't pour the character upside down", because "the character upside down" is the biggest taboo in Kyoto ditties.
Let’s take an example to explain what inverted characters are: a lyric such as “peach leaves are pointed on the tips”, in which the word “leaf” is pronounced in four tones. If you sing it as “peach choke” or “peach master”, "Momo", this is considered an "inverted character".
In the old days, if an artist sang incorrectly, it meant that the artist was not good at learning and was not good enough, and would be called "bad" by the audience.
Therefore, the original version of "Exploring Qingshui River" was sung in this regular Kyoto ditty, so its circulation was limited.
This version by Liu Qingshan improves the traditional rhyme of "Exploring Qingshui River" and deletes the content related to 18J in the fourth update. It does not sound ugly and makes it more in line with the public's appreciation standards.
But the whole style of music still sounds very much like Liu Huoer in cross talk, because the narrative nature of this traditional style of ballads is very strong, and it still has merits. The conflict between the accompaniment and the vocal melody is also very serious. There is a deep meaning.
Moreover, this version can be used with traditional three-string accompaniment, and is also suitable for guitar playing and singing. It can even be played in the form of piano music without any problem.
It's just that most people at the scene only heard the touching part of it, and few people heard that its adaptation was the biggest surprise.
So after a while of warm applause from the audience,
Only then did Lao Guo reveal the deeper meaning.
In the end, he couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that Mr. Liu's music creation ability is unparalleled, and today I have the deepest intuitive experience! The reason why our traditional literature and art decline has a lot to do with the lack of continuous changes in folk music. New ideas and wisdom are added, and there are also parts that are constantly being eliminated. Only by gradually improving through running-in can many of our traditional art treasures be saved from being lost!"
Liu Qingshan deeply agrees: "The transition from Liuhuo to folk songs is, in the final analysis, an ungrounded factor. Any form of folk art comes from life and is higher than life, but everything must be done in moderation. To be extremely elegant is not romantic, it is too It’s too elegant to sell tickets! It is said that to listen to Kunqu Opera in the Qing Dynasty, one must hold the Twenty-Four Histories and the Kangxi Dictionary. Why have these been lost? This explains very well
Problem! "
"You also know this?" Lao Guo looked over with very surprised eyes.
Liu Qingshan laughed secretly in his heart, it was you who said these words.
But he will never expose it: "The word quqihewu not only means that it is rare to have close friends, but also means that the speech or work is unintelligible and few people can understand it. . This stage is about cross talk, and cross talk comes from the lowest level of the people. Easy to understand is the basis for its spread. Those who want to pursue artistic things cannot come here. If someone only emphasizes this point, I can only say that you want to I’m so blind!”
While the audience burst into laughter, they also received frequent nods from Lao Guo.
He was a smart man and knew that Liu Qingshan was speaking for them. Although his inner gratitude was hidden deeply, it could be heard from his positive response.
Liu Qingshan kept talking: "Liu E of the Qing Dynasty said in the fifth chapter of "Lao Can's Travels: Sequel", "When I was in the provincial capital, I only heard people praising Liang Yun, but no one ever talked about Yi Yun. Do you know that he is a high-minded person? "; the modern writer Mr. Zhou Erfu once mentioned in "Morning in Shanghai" that "the highbrow and the low-key, can you please temper your appetite and talk about something that is easy for everyone to understand?" It is obvious that there has been a conclusion on this topic for a long time, but why now? There are always people who use it to judge certain people in the cross talk world. If I meet such a person, I will slap him 108 times! "
Brother Qian immediately added: "Oh, are you trying to teach the naughty son at home?"
Liu Qingshan said happily: "I am teaching my grandson a lesson. How thick-skinned does this guy have to be before he feels he is qualified to be my son? It's not rough, but you have to let a lower-class man learn to eat leeks with a knife and fork." Drinking tofu in a box, this is not a simple act of forcing others to do something difficult, but an extremely despicable quality, so I’m taking it lightly!”
Lao Guo couldn't help but said: "Why do I feel so cold after listening to your words?"
Liu Qingshan's expression changed: "That only means that you are used to being persecuted and have been afraid of well ropes for ten years! I am not afraid of this. If someone says that this little song was once a kiln song, If I don’t go up there, I’ll beat him until his face is covered with tears and his teeth are all over the floor!”
As soon as he said these words, everyone on and off the stage took a breath of cold air.
Because Lao Guo always spoke freely, he did not dare to say hitting words in public.
Brother Qian reacted the fastest and immediately answered: "Mr. Liu, you are very good at teasing. You can say very advanced cruel words with humor!"
Liu Qingshan curled his lips at him:
"I'm not joking. I'm just leaving my words here today. It doesn't matter if you have any opinions with me in the future. But if you maliciously attack and slander someone, I will fight back a hundred times. I'm sure to hit him so hard that his parents won't even recognize him or find him. Evidence to sue me!"
After a moment of astonishment from the audience, the audience burst into cheers, mixed with countless screams.
He also knew that enough was enough, so he immediately changed the topic: "If I have a chance, I would like to have a mandarin show with you two. How about we try it at a suitable time?"
Lao Guo's face turned into a smile in an instant: "That's great. I can borrow your light, which is more effective than any publicity. I'm sure it will sell well!"
This guy was very cunning and immediately connected himself with his commercial performance, otherwise he would never have mentioned selling tickets.
Liu Qingshan knew that he was playing a word game, but he did not expose it on the spot. It is human nature to make full use of good resources.
Then he waved and walked off the stage. It was enough to have an attitude. There was no need to continue to stand on the stage and wait for the encore to end.
It’s just that it’s not a good idea to take advantage of the fact that there are no people from Deyun Society in the audience. Liu Hua is still sitting under the stage, so the two of them left in such a grand manner. If you don't, someone will definitely chase you out. It will be suspected of causing trouble for others.
He chatted with Master Hou and Shi Fushan for a few words backstage before the final performance was over, and Liu Hua rushed over immediately.
But this is not the time to leave yet. Fans who are familiar with the performances here know that there is a side entrance, and that small alley is usually packed with people.
At once
After only staying like this for half an hour, Liu Qingshan decided to leave. As expected, there were still many people watching outside. Fortunately, Lao Guo's disciples helped maintain order, and the two of them were able to return to the car smoothly.
When he returned to Sanrenlu, which was not far away, someone was already waiting for him.
These people are the main investors of "Ip Man" headed by Han Shanping. They were asked to meet here, which was also discussed over the phone in the afternoon.
The main purpose of coming here is to attend the premiere of Xiangjiang in a week's time.
The original plan for this movie was to be released at the end of June, which was to take advantage of the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland on July 1.
But the plan could not keep up with the changes. 2007 was the last year of preparations for the 2008 Olympic Games in Kyoto. The preparations for the Olympic Games entered the "sprint" stage. This sports event that carries the dream of the Chinese nation has received special attention from the whole country.
Therefore, starting from the second half of the year, while accelerating the construction of Olympic venues and related infrastructure to ensure that all venues will be completed as scheduled before the end of the year, various previews, exercises, rehearsals and other related work will be fully launched.
There are also countless activities related to the entertainment industry. At this time, it is difficult for many people in the system and the public to find time to cheer for the release of "Ip Man".
Taking Huaying in Hanshanping as an example, it not only sends a large number of its artists to participate in activities frequently, but also professional talents from all walks of life are sent to take charge of various levels of activities.
Even the windows that are mainly responsible for import and export business will be strictly controlled, and the participation and approval of various overseas cooperation projects are also within the scope of this control.
In fact, the Jade Bird International Regatta that Liu Qingshan participated in before was also a type of preliminary work.
