From Middle Age: Leisure Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 24 "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain"

"Oh?" Ming Hanwen raised his thick eyebrows: "There are very few songs on the market that are written purely using the ancient Chinese pentatonic scale."

My father-in-law obviously didn't believe it.

Yu Dongqing did not refute, and asked her father-in-law to go to the piano room in the east wing.

Mother-in-law Liu Huiyan once graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and sang Huangmei Opera, and later switched to piano practice. Now she is a middle school music teacher. There is a special piano room at home. The two of them went in and there was a piano in it.

Yu Dongqing was sitting by the piano stand, and he was about to play the popular martial arts song "A Laugh in the Sea".

This is a typical song written in pentatonic scale. In the 1990s, Huang Zhan was asked to compose the music for Tsui Hark's movie "The Swordsman". He wrote six drafts, but Tsui Hark was not satisfied. In desperation, he wrote six drafts. Randomly flipping through the ancient book "Le Zhi", I saw a sentence, "Great happiness must be easy."

I thought that the most "easy" thing was the Chinese pentatonic scale (Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu), so I changed it to "Yu, Zheng, Jiao, Shang, Gong" instead, so I wrote "Yu, Zheng, Jiao, Shang, Gong" accordingly. The entire melody of "A Laugh in the Sea" instantly became a masterpiece of martial arts music.

However, when Yu Dongqing was about to play, he suddenly saw his mother-in-law Liu Huiyan who was busy in the kitchen opposite him. His heart was moved and he played and sang another folk tune:

Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain

What song is this?

Ming Hanwen had a wry smile on his face, he really couldn't do anything about his little daughter.

But it seems a little inappropriate to ask me to be a son-in-law?

But he still smiled and nodded.

Meimei stuck out her tongue playfully from behind, then ran over and hugged her mother with laughter.

Seeing her mother standing aside, Mingliang couldn't help but smile and said, "Mom, come and dance too. You were a leading actress in Huangmei Opera back then."

Seeing the three people leaving the courtyard happily, Liu Huiyan suddenly sighed.

The singing in the piano room just now naturally alarmed the mother and daughter who were busy in the kitchen. Liu Huiyan was not interested in pop songs, but when she suddenly heard this song with a grand and dramatic style, she immediately became curious and came over to listen carefully.

Practice diligently to gain enlightenment

Reborn and transformed into a human being

This shocked her.

"Forget it. It's nothing." Liu Huiyan swallowed the words as she spoke.

The sound of the piano seemed to have a magical power when she first heard it, making her eager to give it a try, but she couldn't help but feel embarrassed when her husband was present to dance with her son-in-law.

Seeing her mother dancing gracefully, Mingliang stopped and clapped her hands: "Mom, you dance so beautifully!"

this?

Liu Huiyan was just about to say something when she saw Ming Hanwen with a doting look on his face: "Go ahead, you are a young man who loves to play."

Even Yu Dongqing's heart beat wildly, and her fingering on the piano was almost messed up.

The birthday banquet was held with great joy, the father-in-law was happy, and the mother-in-law was also happy. After dinner in the evening, Yu Dongqing and his daughter prepared to leave, and told him to come back often. Of course, Yu Dongqing happily agreed.

Don't think about this randomly

Yu Dongqing held her nerve and continued to sing seriously.

"I haven't danced in many years, I'm old." Liu Huiyan finished dancing and her face turned red.

As soon as her husband left, at the instigation of her daughter, Liu Huiyan also began to dance to the rhythm.

"No matter how big or small! Stop making trouble, Tongtong, go cook with grandma!" Liu Huiyan patted her daughter's head gently, called her granddaughter who was watching the fun, turned and left.

"What's wrong? Brother-in-law, you don't welcome me?" Mingliang asked curiously.

Now that her husband had agreed, Liu Huiyan couldn't say anything else, so Meimei took Yu Tongtong's hand and said goodbye to her parents with Yu Dongqing.

Besides, Yu Dongqing drove the car back. In the rearview mirror, she saw Ming Mingmei chatting with Yu Tongtong, and remembered her mother-in-law's reaction before leaving. Yu Dongqing said

"Dad, Mom, I'm going back with my brother-in-law now." Meiliang said suddenly.

Yu Dongqing looked at it.

"Hanwen, aren't you worried?" Liu Huiyan asked.

When Yu Dongqing looked up, he saw a young woman with an apron wrapped around her waist standing at the door with a smile. It was her mother-in-law, Liu Huiyan, and the smiling Mingliang stood next to her.

"Ahem, you guys listen first, I'll go out." After Ming Hanwen said that, he turned and left the room.

It seems that he learned it seriously from his mother.

Maybe, I worry a little too much?

"Mingming, you shouldn't come with me tonight."

It really is.

"Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain"!

This song was originally an interlude in the TV series "The Legend of White Snake", and was later covered by Good Sister Band, Ju Jingyi and others and became popular.

Ming Hanwen was surprised when he heard Yu Dongqing singing this song with a strong opera style.

I'm used to everything.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Wow, brother-in-law, you are awesome! I want to dance when I hear this song! Brother-in-law, please sing it again!" Meiliang also came over to join in the fun.

Cultivate this body in the cave for thousands of years

ah……

"Dad, you're so kind!" Meiliang jumped up happily, hugged her father and kissed him on the cheek.

"My brother-in-law said that this song "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain" is suitable for girls to sing, so I will go to his house to record it and upload it to Station B as soon as possible! Let more people hear it!"

Liu Huiyan also wants to dance.

There are good reasons for being bright:

Although it is the simplest dramatic singing style, it is indeed Huangmei tune, perfectly integrated with pop songs, and it sounds so good!

"Mom, you are not old at all. When we were walking on the street, many people thought you were my sister." Meili smiled and hugged her mother's neck, her pretty face pressed against her face affectionately: "Brother-in-law, you

Say so?"

Swing your sleeves, raise your fingers, cover your eyebrows, and learn in a decent manner.

"so rude!"

"What were you doing there?" Liu Huiyan frowned slightly.

Yu Dongqing was about to answer when he heard a pleasant female voice: "Hanwen, you are right. In fact, it should be more accurately called Huangmei Diao. "Huangmei Diao" is the predecessor of Huangmei Opera, which is another name for Huaiqiang.

.”

"What are you worried about?" Ming Hanwen was a little confused.

After Yu Dongqing finished singing, Ming Hanwen couldn't help but ask: "Dongqing, the tone of your song should be like Huangmei Opera, right?"

As Yu Dongqing's singing sounded again, Meimei waved her hands, as if throwing out her sleeves, walked around in small steps, and actually danced an opera dance according to the rhythm of the song!

As expected, he is an expert. His movements and steps are so smooth. Although he is only wearing ordinary home clothes, in Yu Dongqing's eyes, he is like a Tsing Yi on the stage!

This soft figure, these charming eyes.

Who can tell that someone is over forty years old?

It's obviously written with a five-note scale, but it doesn't look like a pop song. Why does the singing sound a bit like Huangmei Opera?

"of course not."

"what is that?"

"Okay, let's not talk about it. In fact, another person can sing this song more appropriately than you."

"Who is it?" Mei Mei was a little unconvinced.

"Your mother."
