Chapter 720: The song 'Overlord', who said the guzheng is not as good as the piano?

Looking at the entire Chinese music scene, it is difficult to find a few songs that can make people's blood boil more than "Overlord". This song is sonorous, powerful, high-pitched and exciting, and it can stimulate the blood in the human body every time it is heard.

In addition, the historical background in which this piece of music was produced can easily resonate with the soul. When many Chinese audiences heard this piece of music, they felt passionate in their hearts and had tears in their eyes.

As for those foreigners, they didn’t know the background of this song. However, they unconsciously felt a strong fighting spirit in their hearts, and their tired spirits were refreshed, as if they had gained the motivation to start again.

Those who have encountered setbacks in life, hearing this passionate melody, rekindled the flame of hope in their hearts, decided not to sink, and faced difficulties bravely.

Some listeners were touched by the emotions in the song, recalling the years when they had struggled for their dreams, and tears filled their eyes. Those who had worked tirelessly for their goals, but lost their way along the way, found their belonging in this music and regained their sense of belonging.

I have found my original intention.

While the audience was moved by the music, the Chinese musicians focused on the music.

"What song is this?"

"It's a bit like "General's Order"."

"I also think it is "General's Order", but it should be an adaptation. The original "General's Order" is far less exciting and passionate."

"So Teacher Wang Xuan is really a master of music. His arrangements of famous Chinese songs can always reach a higher level."

"Indeed, this level of musical literacy is unprecedented, if not unprecedented."

"I don't think there will be a Wang Xuan in the next two hundred years."

"It's too small, the pattern is too small! Not to mention two hundred years, even a thousand years will not produce a Wang Xuan. He is proficient in all musical instruments, has peak attainments in lyrics and music, and is still so young! How can such a person be so easy to appear?"

...

At the same time, the top ten international pianists present were also discussing.

"What kind of music is Mr. Wang Xuan playing? Does anyone know?" Edward asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

"It's probably another famous Chinese song!"

"No! It's not just a Chinese famous song, it should be called a world famous song. This piece is definitely world-class."

"This is true. There are very few pieces of music that can be so exciting. Every note and every melody of this piece seems to be able to touch people's souls and inspire people."

"Yeah, it's so shocking."

"You all talk about music, but no one notices the guzheng instrument?"

"That's what I want to say. I used to think that Mr. Wang Xuan was bragging, but now I find that the timbre of the Chinese guzheng and the notes produced by the Chinese guzheng really seem to be no less inferior to our piano."

"The sound produced by this guzheng is somewhat similar to our piano. It is equally crisp and clear, but the guzheng seems to have an extra murderous aura that the piano does not have."

"It is indeed an incredible musical instrument! I admit that I am impressed by China's national musical instruments."

"So, the suona instrument that Mr. Wang Xuan talks about is not really that powerful, right?"

.......

Even the top ten pianists looked at the guzheng with admiration, let alone other foreign audiences. At this moment, the originally casual audience began to sit upright and stared closely at the figure on the stage who was fully devoted to the performance.

As the music progressed, Wang Xuan's performance gradually became better. His fingering skills were skillful and agile, and his rapid picking of strings was like a storm, making the audience feel an unprecedented passion and power. Every note was like a

A burning fire quickly ignited the dormant passion deep in the hearts of the audience.

At the climax of the music, Wang Xuan showed amazing skills and emotional expression. His hands flew on the strings, and the melody he played was like a surging ocean wave, which impacted the audience's spiritual defenses one after another.

.Like a drop of clear spring falling into a quiet lake, causing ripples. The crisp and melodious sound instantly penetrated the entire concert hall.

Sometimes the music is as grand and exciting as mountains and flowing water. Wang Xuan's fingers are flying quickly on the strings, and the notes are pouring down like waterfalls. The strong rhythm is like a surging river in nature, rushing endlessly. Sometimes, the music is like a breeze.

The bright moon is quiet and distant. The sound it makes by gently plucking the strings is like the twinkling stars in the night sky, soft and mysterious.

Those initial disdainful expressions towards the guzheng had all disappeared at this moment. They were replaced by intoxication with the music, admiration for the performers, and admiration for the Chinese guzheng.

In this wonderful music, the audience seemed to have seen the ancient China. They saw the majestic Great Wall winding between the mountains, saw the surging Yellow River flowing eastward, and saw the gentleness and tenderness of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

They felt the profound cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, which is the accumulation of thousands of years of history, the emotional sustenance of countless literati, and the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people.

The performer's hands dance on the strings like two dancing butterflies. Every slide and every vibrato is full of life and emotion. Her face is filled with love for music and confidence in culture. This

For a moment, the guzheng is no longer a strange musical instrument, but an artistic messenger that can touch the soul.

When the last note fell, the entire concert hall fell into a brief silence. Then, thunderous applause sounded for a long time. The audience stood up one after another to pay the highest respect to the performer. Their faces were full of excitement.

and excitement, the previous disdain and doubts have long since disappeared.

"It's incredible! This is the charm of music that I have never experienced before!" an audience member said loudly, his voice full of excitement.

"The Chinese guzheng is really a magical instrument!" another audience member praised.

"I feel ashamed of my previous prejudices. This is an unparalleled musical feast!"

"Is this the Chinese guzheng? Isn't it incredible?"

"I found that I seem to have fallen in love with the Chinese guzheng. The charm of this instrument is irresistible!"

"It turns out that Mr. Wang Xuan really wasn't bragging. It turns out that the Chinese guzheng is really not inferior to our piano."

"Thank you Mr. Wang Xuan for letting us know the Chinese guzheng."

The audience stood up with thunderous applause and cheers that were deafening.

They waved their hands wildly and shouted: "Bravo!"

"This is a brand new musical experience that gives me a new understanding of traditional Chinese musical instruments!"

This guzheng solo not only allowed the audience in Lantern City to appreciate the charm of traditional Chinese musical instruments, but also made them feel the breadth and depth of Chinese music culture. Wang Xuan, this young musician, used his talent and hard work to perform in Lantern Festival.

He left a mark on the city's music scene. He told stories with music, ignited dreams with passion, and made the world look at him.

Wang Xuan stood up slowly and bowed to the audience to thank him.

The enthusiasm in the audience did not diminish at all, and the applause and cheers continued for a long time.

In this fanatical atmosphere, the host walked onto the stage excitedly and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Wang Xuan, you are great, your performance just now was great!"

"Thank you!" Wang Xuan just said.

"I would like to ask, what is the name of the piece you just played?" the host asked again.

"The song is called "Overlord". It is adapted from the famous Chinese song "General's Order". Of course, I prefer to call this song "Men Should Be Strong" because this song conveys the kind of courage to fight, perseverance and unyielding.

The spirit of constant self-improvement. This spirit complements the charm of the guzheng. I hope to pass on this spirit of self-improvement to more people through the unique sound and expressive power of the guzheng."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Wang Xuan for sharing. Tonight, Mr. Wang Xuan brought us an unprecedented auditory feast with his guzheng. He was not only playing, but also telling a story about courage and persistence.

and the story of self-improvement. Every note he plays is full of the power of life, and every melody touches the depths of our souls. This is not only a music performance, but also a cultural exchange and collision, which makes us profound

I deeply feel the profoundness and infinite charm of Chinese music. Mr. Wang Xuan, you are a true music master!" the host said.

At this time, the audience once again burst into waves of applause and cheers.

Wang Xuan bowed to the audience again, and then looked at Dai Lisi again: "How is it? Has the Chinese guzheng ever let you down? Can it be compared with the piano?"

"..."

What could Delise say? She could only apologize: "I'm sorry, I apologize to you for my arrogance. The Chinese guzheng is indeed an amazing musical instrument. Of course, I only admit that the Chinese guzheng is amazing, but

You said that the guzheng is better than the piano, but I still don't agree with that. I can only say that the Chinese guzheng is on par with our pianos."

Wang Xuan nodded, but he didn't chase after him.

Unlike the suona, it is really hard to decide which one is better between the guzheng and the piano. If his trip can make the West understand the Chinese guzheng and admit that the Chinese guzheng can be compared with the piano, it will be considered a success.

Wang Xuan still remembers the original intention of his trip. He originally decided to attend concerts abroad, but it was because domestic music students were hit and had no confidence in national musical instruments, and he wanted to help these music students regain their confidence.

I don’t know if the goal has been achieved.

Of course it was achieved.

Those who study music in China, especially those who study traditional musical instruments, almost all gathered around the TV at this moment, witnessing with their own eyes how Wang Xuan killed everyone at the Lantern City Concert, using traditional Chinese music and traditional musical instruments to kill everyone.

of.

Domestic music students have expressed their feelings about this.

"It turns out that Chinese music is so powerful, and it turns out that the guzheng is an instrument comparable to the piano."

"It turns out that it's not that the Chinese music is bad, nor that the guzheng is bad. As Wang Xuan said, the guzheng player is not good at it, it's just because the guzheng player is not good at selecting the music and his level is not good enough."

What Wang Xuan didn't know was that because of his performance, countless Chinese people had the idea of ​​learning guzheng. Countless families with good conditions sent their children to learn guzheng.

The shock that Chinese music has brought to the Light City Concert is far from over.

Because at this Light City Concert, the Chinese Music Corps also brought a piece: "Tianfu Music".
