Chapter 853 This Guqin is called Xichen
The next few days were just about filming, filming, and filming.
Occasionally, Qian Chen would go to a small theater to sing operas when he had the opportunity. He even held a fan meeting. Using donations to support opera, his fans were invited to listen to the opera for free.
Inviting people to listen to the opera for free can be regarded as supporting opera. There is nothing wrong with it. Even the system can't find any faults. I don't know what's wrong with this alien technology or whether the designers are not smart enough. Qian Chen always thinks this thing is stupid.
Apply.
On the 21st, the Spring Festival Gala held a grand rehearsal.
The so-called grand platoon means that everyone participating in the Spring Festival Gala must be present and perform in the normal order.
Before the Chinese New Year on February 9th, there will be another recording and playback tape.
"This is Qian Chen." Ma Xing, the director of the preparation team, brought someone over. Qian Chen was playing games on his mobile phone at the time.
Seeing the person coming, he stood up quickly and said, "Hello, Mr. Yanni." This is a crooked man wearing a Tang suit.
Chinese people like to call him Yanni. His full name is Yanni Chrysomalis, and he is a Greek musician.
Yanni is a world-famous new century music composer and performer.
He has released more than ten albums, been nominated for two Grammy Awards, and his work has been a favorite in Olympic broadcast music for the past decade.
The venues where people hold concerts are extremely high-end.
For example, the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, the Taj Mahal in India, the Forbidden City in China, the Albert Hall in London, the Morro Castle in Las Vegas and Puerto Rico, etc.
Therefore, he and Qian Chen are peers. And they are both known as geniuses.
He can accurately memorize every note of any music he listens to without any sheet music and only with his superhuman memory.
"Hello, Mr. Qian Chen, I'm sorry to bother you, but I really want to get to know you." The long-haired and artistic old man held Qian Chen's hand and acted extremely graceful.
Probably, music can indeed make people more temperamental.
"This is my honor. I like your "ithanohid" very much." Qian Chen also praised him sincerely.
The unprecedented Forbidden City concert in 1997 introduced countless Chinese people to this handsome Greek gentleman with a sculpture-like three-dimensional face, and at the same time, they were also exposed to this new thing called new century music for the first time.
When Qian Chen came into contact with modern music, it was inevitable that he would get to know this person.
He knew that Yanni would attend the Spring Festival Gala this time, and he also thought about getting to know this handsome old man. However, he did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to come to him.
"You two chat slowly, I have something to do." Ma Xing is the director of the Spring Festival Gala, so naturally he doesn't have time to chat with them here.
After he left, Qian Chen chatted with Yanni for a while. He said in English that the other party did not speak Chinese very well.
"Can I ask you about how to play the guqin?" People who are skilled in technology will inevitably have to exchange skills.
Qian Chen naturally had nothing against him. He brought his piano.
"Is this the guqin from the Song Dynasty?" Yanni plucked the strings in awe.
"Well, this is not the case. That "Xian Lai" has been played for too long, and the tone is no longer enough to complete the performance on such an occasion." Qian Chen shook his head.
"Can't you play ancient musical instruments?" Yanni was a little disappointed.
He came to see Qian Chen. In addition to being curious about Qian Chen, a talented young man, he also really appreciated the music made by Qian Chen.
Then I just want to see the musical instrument Qian Chen will play on stage this time.
His Chinese friends mentioned this and said that Qian Chen owned a guqin that was made before 1900.
"It's not that it can't be played, it's that it can't achieve the best effect. It has passed its most glorious period. No matter how good the repair technology is, it can't make up for the erosion of time." Qian Chen explained briefly.
"That's really a pity. What's the origin of the one you have now?" Yanni only thinks that this piano looks very ancient, and the piano itself is a top-notch work of art.
"Haha, there's no origin. I made this one myself. I named it Qian Chen to commemorate the relationship between me and my lover." Qian Chen showed the other person the carving on the back.
I also explained to him the meaning of the above inscription.
The silk threads of the willows are softened, and the wisps of smoke are woven into sorrow. Before the rain on the crabapples, the pear blossoms first snowed, and half of the spring is gone. Now it is difficult to remember the past, and I return to my dreams and wander around the Qin Tower. The lovesickness is only on the lilac branches and the cardamom tips.
This poem was written by Wang Yu (pang sound), and its title is the relatively unknown "Yan'er Mei".
Wang Yu is the son of Wang Anshi. He also has a very artistic saying: "Falling flowers and running water are still the same. This feeling, to the east wind, is all weight loss."
This qin is neither called Yan'ermei, nor cardamom, or lilac. Qian Chen named her Qian Chen, because he was so willful.
"You make your own musical instruments?" Yanni was a little dumbfounded. He had never seen people who could make their own musical instruments, but it was really rare to be able to make their own musical instruments, compose and play them, and be on a global stage like the Spring Festival Gala.
See.
"It's not worth mentioning, it's just a tool." Qian Chen was hypocritically modest.
The sheep cabinet probably doesn't know how troublesome it is to make a guqin. Anyway, Yanni can't be his user.
Otherwise, he could sell it to him for two million dollars...
At this moment, Anxi happened to find his studio. She was a little surprised when she saw someone else there, and it was Wai Guoren.
"This is Anxi. She will perform with me later. She is responsible for dancing and I am responsible for playing the piano." Qian Chen introduced.
But Yanni knew Anxi, such a famous Chinese star.
Anxi was named the most beautiful face in the world by foreign media, ranking 50th. Although this thing is not so reliable, it also illustrates a certain problem.
"Qian Chen, Qian Chen...could this be the one on the piano..." Yanni gestured. He didn't have an advanced study of Chinese characters, but just based on his feeling, it should be this one.
Already.
"Yes, it is true. She is my partner and also my lover, but it has not been made public yet." Qian Chen did not hide it.
"Oh, she is really beautiful, congratulations." Yanni complimented her more directly. "Thank you." Qian Chen and An Qian both thanked her happily.
Since Qian Chen and An Qian were preparing to go on stage, and Yani had already finished his performance, they could only say goodbye temporarily.
However, Qian Chen invited Yani to his home as a guest.
He studied a lot of modern Western instruments at Xiang Xiaoyuan's gold medal studio, but the level of those players was only excellent, and they were incomparable to someone like Yanni.
Moreover, Yanni can be regarded as a founder of a sect. Communication will definitely be very fruitful.
Yanni heard that he could visit the guqin from the Song Dynasty, so there was no reason not to go. In addition to Yanni, this time there was also Celine Dion, a celebrity from outside the pot.
She even has two programs on the program, one is a duet of "Jasmine" with others, and the other is her solo "My Heart Will Go On".
This song "My Heart Will Go On" is a must-listen classic for many Chinese children during their school days. Qian Chen and An Qian's program is right behind this song "My Heart Will Go On".
Yanni went to the audience to watch.
I was truly amazed. Not only was Qian Chen's original Guqin music really outstanding, but also An Qian's Chinese dance had a great visual impact on him, but also because of the perfect combination of music and dance.
It's really like falling into a fairyland.
The only discordant thing is that he thinks this music is very suitable for listening with closed eyes and has a kind of transcendental feeling. But he is reluctant to close his eyes and not watch the dance.
After coming off the stage, Qian Chen still had to prepare to perform an opera.
Teacher Yu's Peking Opera was arranged in the second half, so his opera had to be in the middle section, and was arranged in front of Liu Qian'er.
Liu Qian'er performs magic, that is, tricks.
Qian Chen actually knows some, but he has no interest in it. For him, this thing is not his real job.
The so-called trick is actually
It's a lie.
Playing this in the palace will leave the impression of a cunning woman to the powerful and even the emperor, and it is easy to lose trust. From the eleventh appearance to the twenty-first appearance again, the time is not too generous.
The main reason is that makeup for opera performances is too troublesome.
It is normal for opera actors to dress up for two to three hours before going on stage, so makeup also requires rehearsal.
Several people were surrounding him—these makeup artists usually rehearse elsewhere, and now they were officially cleaning up Qian Chen, and they had to make sure nothing went wrong.
Yanni did not leave immediately. He had seen the program list and knew that Qian Chen had another program.
After the performance, Anxi changed her clothes and went off stage. She sat with Linghua and others. They were relatively able to chat after they met last time.
Chapter completed!
