Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

The barbecue lasted until nine o'clock in the evening. Everyone talked and laughed, and when the mood struck, they would pick up their guitars and sing a few words without restraint.

Maybe this is the charm of this kind of documentary music?

Of course, whether it will be filmed on TV later depends on the editor’s editing.

After a night's rest that night, everyone had breakfast together in the restaurant the next day. The most representative breakfast in Guilin is rice noodles.

It is said that the workmanship is exquisite. First, the best rice is ground into pulp, bagged and filtered, then cooked into a dough ball and pressed into round roots or sheets. The round ones are called rice noodles, and the flaky ones are called cut noodles, commonly known as rice noodles.

There are many ways to eat it, but the most important thing is the preparation of the brine. The materials and methods of the brine are different, and the flavor of the rice noodles is also different, but they are all paired with sour bamboo shoots, which has a strong taste. Generally divided into beef brisket powder, three delicacies powder, braised vegetable powder, hot and sour powder, and horse meat rice noodles.

Yu Dongqing ordered a bowl of hot and sour noodles, which tasted quite good.

As a program planner and host, Heizi is quite busy. He hurriedly walked into the restaurant and told everyone: "Today our activity is to visit Mr. Wu Guoming, the king of Guilin singers and the inheritor of folk songs."

"Ha, Dongqing, this is my strong point, go and have a good duel with Mr. Wu on some songs." Zhou Wei said with a smile.

"No, don't. That's just a trick." Yu Dongqing replied quickly.

When doing this program, Yu Dongqing read Wu Guoming's information.

Wu Guoming is a native of Muqiao Village, Santang Town, Guilin. He was born in 1931. He is now over 90 years old. He is still strong and active in the creation and singing of folk songs. He is the only national-level "folk song" artist in GL City. King" has created many miracles in the history of our country's music scene.

How dare Yu Dongqing make a mistake in front of such an old man?

After dinner, everyone set off by car. Shiqiao Village in Santang Town is still a long way from Yangshuo. Along the winding mountain road, there are lush greens along the way, and finally arrived at Shiqiao Village.

After getting off the car, Juanjuan couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, it's so beautiful here!"

It is indeed beautiful.

Yu Dongqing and the others were standing by a stone arch bridge at the head of the village. There were several ancient trees beside the bridge. Broken bridges, ancient trees, and flowing water give it a sense of historical vicissitudes.

Surrounded by mountains and mountains, in the morning, the peaks, fields, and villages are shrouded in mist, just like an ink painting.

Since there is such a beautiful scenery, of course, I have to take pictures and keep them. Yu Dongqing quickly took out his SLR from the canvas bag he was carrying and started taking pictures.

Heizi took out his mobile phone to contact Wu Guoming's family. Within a few minutes, a girl wearing a T-shirt and jeans walked out of the village. She was slim and fair-skinned.

Although girls from Guangxi don’t give people the impression of being fair, girls from Guilin are an exception. Guilin has beautiful mountains and beautiful people, and this is the girl in front of her.

Fair and fair, with delicate features.

The girl introduced herself and said that she was Wu Guoming's great-granddaughter named Wu Lili. She was specially arranged by her grandfather to greet the program crew.

"Thank you." Heizi said, and then he was about to introduce a few guests. Unexpectedly, the girl looked at Yu Dongqing and the others and said with a smile: "I have met you."

"Seen?"

"On the bank of the Li River."

"Wow, you are the girl who sang duet with Teacher Yu!" Juanjuan still had sharp eyes and recognized her.

The girl nodded generously

Ah?

What a coincidence?

Wu Lili told the story. It turned out that she was a student in the ethnic class of Guangxi Normal University. Their campus was not far from the Li River. Sometimes she went out to play. Yesterday, she and two classmates heard Yu Dongqing singing folk songs on the shore. They thought it was very nice. I couldn't help but confront him.

I left after playing for a while. Today was a weekend trip back to my hometown. I didn’t expect to meet up today.

"Wu Lili, your folk songs are so beautiful." Juanjuan praised.

"Your duets are pretty good too." Wu Lili replied.

"It's our teacher Yu who sings so well!"

Juanjuan smiled and pointed at Yu Dongqing.

The girl glanced at Yu Dongqing, a little shy, but quickly returned to normal and said with a smile, "Look at me, just chatting, why are you standing here? The master knew he would talk about me, and then asked everyone to follow him into the village."

Shiqiao Village is a very old village. Yu Dongqing and his party walked into the alley and found that there were buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties inside, and Wu Guoming lived in an old house.

Following Wu Lili into the courtyard, she saw a deep courtyard with flowers and plants everywhere, and two sweet-scented osmanthus trees.

"Grandpa, the guests are here." Wu Lili shouted into the main room.

Soon, an old man with white hair and beard walked out of the hall. He was wearing an old-fashioned white coat and looked energetic.

Everyone hurriedly greeted each other, and Heizi naturally explained one by one. When it was Yu Dongqing's turn, the old man laughed and said, "So it was you who sang the duet with my great-granddaughter yesterday."

"It's a joke if you don't sing well." Yu Dongqing said modestly.

"Not many outsiders sing our Guangxi folk songs. Let's go in and talk." Wu Guoming greeted everyone.

Following the owner into the main room, I saw a portrait hanging in the most eye-catching position. It turned out to be a vivid depiction of a child herding cows.

There is even a ballad on the painting: "The poor boy looks at the Cowherd, and when he is hungry, he uses folk songs as solid food. When he hears me singing, the cows also laugh. When he grows up, he wants to be the king of folk songs."

Seeing everyone looking at this painting, Wu Lili next to her explained: "This was written by my great-grandfather."

Wu Guoming explained.

It turned out that he had been learning to sing folk songs from his mother since he was 3 years old, and he made a living by herding cattle for the landlord's family during his childhood. In the process of herding cattle, he used the mountains and rivers as his stage and the cattle and sheep as his audience.

Singing while herding cattle, folk songs have accompanied him throughout his life, and he has been singing them for nearly 89 years.

Eighty or ninety years!

Everyone looked impressed after hearing this.

After everyone sat down, Wu Guoming asked his great-granddaughter to pour tea for everyone. Heizi mentioned the purpose of coming today: to find the singing voice of "Sanjie Liu".

Talking about Sister Liu Sanjie, Wu Guoming was even more eloquent.

"Liu Sanjie is the embodiment of beautiful Guangxi and a cultural symbol as famous as Guilin's landscape. I created folk songs in the form of duets of folk songs. I cleverly combined Liu Sanjie with more than 800 landscape attractions in Guilin to create a series of folk songs."

"Oh? Mr. Wu, can you sing a few words for me to appreciate?" Yu Dongqing became interested.

Wu Guoming was not polite and opened his voice to sing:

If the river keeps flowing, the water will rise.

Let’s meet at the singing party today

Three gentlemen name

A hundred flowers bloom in spring, I will cash in on you

Even though she is over ninety years old, she still sang with great energy and received warm applause from everyone.

"Mr. Wu, can you teach us how to sing?" Juanjuan said from the side.

"Okay, okay" Wu Guoming's face wrinkled.

I can’t see the peach fruit in my heart.

I can't see the pear blossoms blooming in my heart.

Spring harvest also comes with antiphonal songs.

Look, you are also lucky

In the main room, everyone sang along.

Thanks to Xicheng Xue Erlang for the reward, and thanks to Uncle Fu from Soul
