Chapter 374 One of you three is not good at playing the cello

“Zhao Zilong” is a song that was considered a niche song in the previous life. It comes from the movie “Resurrection of the Dragon” starring Andy Lau.

As the saying goes, bad movies often produce great songs. This saying is absolutely appropriate for the song in “Zhao Zilong”. There are very few Chinese film soundtracks that can leave such a deep impression on audiences.

In this movie, you will see:

A Shu soldier wearing a World War II German helmet.

Zhuge Liang, who betrayed his own people to death.

The unique scenery from the Northern Expedition in Chengdu to Changbanpo.

And the general of the Ji Han Dynasty who shouted “Long live the Great Shu Kingdom” and made Liu Bei so angry that he came back to life.

However, if we completely ignore history and just watch it as a fictional movie.

This movie is still remarkable.

Especially the scene in the film where Zhao Yun, played by Andy Lau, charges into battle at Changbanpo, which can be regarded as the most handsome portrayal of Zhao Yun in China.

All this is thanks to the film’s epic soundtrack.

If “Resurrection of the Dragon” is a 70-point movie.

Then, the song “Zhao Zilong” can account for at least 68 points.

It is this piece of music composed by composer Lai Yun-wen that elevates the entire movie to a level that does not belong to him.

It is conceivable how great a contribution this song has made.

Lin Tian chose this song after some thought.

Since it is an ensemble of three cellos.

The first choice is majestic music, which must be epic enough to reflect the shock brought by multiple ensembles.

General music is not enough.

So, Lin Tian chose a movie soundtrack.

This kind of music has a strong sense of story in itself.

This sense of story can also be perfectly presented through multiple ensembles.

In addition,

And since I chose pop music.

It also has to be “simple” and “pleasant to the ear” enough. Being obscure and difficult to understand is the right of classical music. If pop music is not pleasant to the ear, the audience might as well just open the browser and listen to Momonogi Kana screaming.

This song fits this point perfectly.

Listening without thinking will give you a mindless sense of satisfaction.

If you listen with your brain, you can hear more flavors in it.

Just like how ordinary people watch “Let the Bullets Fly”.

You can read it as a refreshing story of “bandits fighting landlords”, or you can use your brain to experience the “violent narrative” and “absurd aesthetics” in it.

Everyone can draw the emotions they want from this work.

That’s what makes this song so great.

It not only allows people to experience pure auditory enjoyment, but also has the heavy emotions of “classical music”.

The soul part of the original song is played solo by the traditional Chinese musical instrument flute.

This part, after being revised by Lin Tian, ​​was given to Gan Yanyu’s cello.

He felt that given the cello level of these three people, they would not disappoint him!
As the first ensemble begins.

Lin Tian’s piano started it all.

Soon, Gan Yanyu’s cello took the lead and broke into the melody.

In this exercise.

Because the accompaniment needs to be added later, now there is only the cello performance, which can also show the problems in the performance more intuitively.

Gan Yanyu did not disappoint Lin Tian.

She plays this soul-infused core section very well.

The melodious and constantly rising sound of the piano,

Like a lonely shadow in the desert.

Such aloofness, such heroism.

All of a sudden, the girl’s figure was stretched to an extremely long length, shining brightly under the sun.
Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction.

Mao Weiang standing by looked slightly stunned.

This was the first time he watched Gan Yanyu perform at such a close distance.

It is so contagious.

Is this the brilliance that is unique to classical musicians?

Before he knew it, Mao Weiang even forgot that it was his turn.

Until Lin Tian’s piano played an accent note, interrupting Mao Weiang’s thoughts.

He quickly picked up the bow.

In this section, we come to Mao Weiang’s performance.

The man pressed his thin body against the cello and drew the bow.

This paragraph is a repetition of Gan Yanyu’s previous paragraph, with a certain rising pitch.

Almost the moment the piano started playing.

Lin Tian was slightly startled, turned his head in surprise and looked at Mao Weiang.

Sounds good!

It sounds really nice!
Mao Weiang’s piano playing is rhythmic and powerful. It seems to have a kind of magic that can instantly capture the ears of everyone who hears the music.

Should we say that he is worthy of being the king of pop music?

Compared to the incomparable heaviness in Gan Yanyu’s cello.

As soon as the former’s voice comes out, it almost hits the hearts of the audience.

Mao Weiang focused all his attacks on hearing.

Compared to stabbing someone directly in the heart, Mao Weiang’s music is much gentler. He is trying his best to protect the listeners’ senses.

Gan Yanyu is like that lonely and proud brave man.

She stood there, high above everyone else, exuding charm that made countless people eager to understand her and enter her inner world.

Mao Weiang took the initiative to bend down, constantly coaxing the audience, serving them, and opening his arms to welcome them.

The difference between the two,
In essence, it is the core difference between classical music and pop music.

Classical music is essentially aloof.

It never tries to please or embrace anyone deliberately. It is like a mountain flower, blooming in the coldest and harshest areas, waiting for people to understand it. And when you really overcome difficulties and come to it after going through untold hardships, this mountain flower will not let you down.

With pop music, it’s the exact opposite.

It does not have much meaning in itself; its meaning lies in its existence for people.

Therefore, its essence is to constantly serve and please people. If no one listens to it, it loses its meaning as music. In a sense, it is a good friend of mankind.

Some people are eager to pursue the most beautiful woman on the planet, while others like friends who are truly kind to them.

Mao Weiang is right.

Whether it’s pop music or classical music.

There is nothing wrong in liking anyone. In fact, people who love music should become good friends.

In this regard, Lin Tian still approves of Mao Weiang.

It is obvious that “trying to smooth things over” is always a thankless task. If you do it, others may even scold you for being a fool.

But he still regarded it as something he wanted to do before he died.

And it’s just as he said.

He didn’t think that doing so was “cool”, “meaningful”, or “a good deed before dying”.

He just does what he likes.

To satisfy himself and to atone for his sins to the music industry which had been turned upside down because of him.

Watching Mao Weiang’s performance, Lin Tian felt a little emotional.

As an opponent,

He really has to thank this cooperation.

If they had not played together as partners at such a close distance, Lin Tian would not have known this opponent so well.

He really grasped the audience’s feelings to the extreme.

If Lin Tian hadn’t played “Moonlight” in the semi-finals, he might have been defeated miserably.

Lin Tian couldn’t imagine how Mao Weian would perform if he was in full swing in the finals.

This cooperation can also be regarded as gathering intelligence.

“.”

With that, Mao Weiang’s part ended.

The next part is about Bai Junze’s performance.

This guy, Lin Tian has been looking forward to him for a long time.

It was worth it that Lin Tian took out all his best equipment to receive him.

In this semi-final, her strength is second only to the explosive Nanali.

The last person who asked Lin Tian to wash his feet was Gan Yanyu!

Bai Junze picked up his tattered cello and pulled the bow.

Music has once again been pushed to a new level.

This part should have chord accompaniment, but Lin Tian hasn’t added it yet.

But even so, when Bai Junze’s music sounded, Lin Tian couldn’t help but get goosebumps all over his body.

So cool! This guy is really right.

Even though he only practiced it once, he still showed such a high level of completion right from the start.

Bai Junze’s cello has a strong emotional value.

His music, in terms of performance, gives people a startling feeling, it is violent, simple, and oppressive, and it obviously looks very painful.

But in reality, every punch hit the most comfortable part of the audience.
It’s like a full body spa!
Back massage, cupping, essential oil massage.
It feels both painful and pleasurable.

Like Mao Weiang, he also focuses on the audience’s hearing and creates music that makes people feel comfortable.

Mao Weiang’s comfort is a more traditional method. He is careful, gentle and has his own skills.

Bai Junze’s attack, on the other hand, was completely disorganized. He just started with a series of punches that were simple, crude, and very satisfying.

Just like a sadist!

Lin Tian thought that this should have something to do with Bai Junze himself.

He had never been to a music college, and had been living alone in Beijing for many years, never having any constraints.

Naturally, there is no “rule” to his piano playing skills; his music is more about flashes of inspiration and freedom.

Such an opponent is actually much more terrifying.

Because you never know where his ceiling is.

There is no pattern and no trace to be found.

Maybe one day he will suddenly explode with a certain song and beat everyone on the stage of the finals.

As the music progresses.

The melody is about to reach its climax.

Lin Tian also became excited at this time.

Finally, the ensemble begins.

After the three people’s solo performances just now, Lin Tian’s heart was already filled with anticipation.

What kind of sparks will appear when these three cellos come together? !

Lin Tian held his breath, looking forward to it.

Gan Yanyu, Mao Weiang, and Bai Junze all took a deep breath and clenched the bows in their hands.

As Lin Tian’s piano began to rise, it reached its climax.

coming! ! !

The three of them frowned and pulled the bows at the same time –

“~”

“￥#&@￥%*（@#”

“.”

“What the hell??!”

Lin Tian’s scolding interrupted the performance.

He turned around and leaned against the piano, feeling numb.

Too abstract!

At the moment when three cellos sounded at the same time.

The music, which was gradually building to its climax, suddenly had a huge hiccup!
Three different tones intertwined together, like a fight, it was complete noise!

“None of you made any mistakes, right?” Lin Tian asked in disbelief, especially looking at Bai Junze who had not practiced at all.

“No, Senior.”

Bai Junze spread his hands and said helplessly,

“I always play according to the music score.”

“Teacher Lin Tian, ​​I can be sure that I didn’t pull the wrong one either.”

Mao Weiang said.

“.”

Then it’s not a matter of pulling the wrong thing.

Lin Tian touched his chin. Obviously, it was impossible for Gan Yanyu, who was known as a walking composer of classical music, to make such a mistake.

However, after calming down and thinking about it, it is indeed unlikely that it was a problem of pulling the wrong thing.

All three of them are top cellists, how could they make such a mistake?

I guess something went wrong with someone.

“Come again, please.”

This time, Lin Tian decided not to provide accompaniment.

As the composer, he now has to listen to it himself to see where the problem lies.

How can such exciting music be turned into shit?

“Start straight from the climax.”

Lin Tian said.

The three nodded and picked up the bows again.

“Three, two, one”

Lin Tian said, and waved his hand.

The music started again.

This time, the rhythm was better for a while, but it only lasted for two seconds.

After that, the music became chaotic again, like a fight.

“Stop, stop, stop!”

Lin Tian stopped in a hurry.

The three of them looked up at the same time.

“I can confirm that.”

Lin Tian raised his index finger and said seriously,

“One of you three has problems playing the cello!”

As soon as this word comes out,
The three of them looked at each other.

Lin Tian’s eyes quickly swept across the faces of the three people.

If they just played according to the score, none of the three made any mistakes.

But among these three people, the music of one person obviously repelled the other two, because its rebelliousness, with a slight change in timbre, would lead the three of them astray, creating a chaotic situation for all three of them.

“Who is this person then?”

Gan Yanyu asked nervously.

When she mentioned problems that arose in such an ensemble, the first person she thought of was herself.

“That’s definitely not you.” Lin Tian said with a smile.

“Isn’t this bias a bit too obvious?!” Bai Junze said in horror.

“I have worked with Teacher Gan for so long, if there is a problem with her cello, I can hear it very quickly.”

Lin Tian said seriously.

“Is that Teacher Bai Junze?” Mao Weiang turned his head and looked at Bai Junze.

“Hey, hey, hey, I said it was you.”

Bai Junze crossed his arms and looked disdainful.

The expression on his face at this moment seemed to say:

Even the second place has come to question, what is your rating?
“In my opinion, you and I both play pop music, and maybe our styles are not compatible with Gan Yanyu’s?” Bai Junze said.

“Me?” Gan Yanyu looked puzzled.

“Teacher Lin Tian, ​​how should we find it then?” Mao Weiang threw the topic back to Lin Tian.

“Let me think about it,” Lin Tian touched his chin.

“What about the control variable method?”

At this moment, Gan Yanyu said tentatively.

“Control variable method?” Lin Tian was stunned.

“Well, if you can’t tell who it is from the three of them, I’ll play with Teacher Mao and Teacher Bai separately, and then the two of them will play again. You can listen to them all, and then you’ll know who it is.”

Gan Yanyu described it vividly with her fingers.

“Besides, there’s no guarantee that it’s not my fault, so let’s all play together once and we’ll know. Maybe there’s more than one person with a problem.”

“Makes sense.”

Lin Tian, ​​who scored 140 in the college entrance examination mathematics, couldn’t help but admire Xiao Gan’s brilliant ideas.

Although this is a stupid method, there is obviously no better way to do it.

“Let’s start!” Lin Tian said.

Soon, the first group was the ensemble of Gan Yanyu and Mao Weiang.

“.”

Unexpectedly, the two’s ensemble went surprisingly smoothly.

Lin Tian already had a vague answer in his mind, but he still let Gan Yanyu and Bai Junze perform it once.

result,

The ensemble was instantly messed up.

“It’s you!” Lin Tian shouted.
