Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star

Chapter 581 Great Change in Style

A fat man in black clothes and black trousers appeared silently in the corner of the stage, almost blending into the background, very inconspicuous, Shen Mozhen glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and made an OK gesture to her.

She plucked the strings with her fingers, and a light and shallow melody completely different from the previous Western music style sounded faintly.

Mr. Martin's heart skipped a beat. He heard Liu Man's guqin video at that time, and he felt this way, as if a cool breeze from the east was blowing by, making him feel refreshed. He even had the urge to take out the incense burner he bought when traveling in Southeast Asia and light it.

The difference in education and growth environment is too great for foreigners to understand the artistic conception of Chinese music. Mr. Martin can only find some elements that give him similar feelings to imagine, such as incense, such as Buddha heads, and it is best to have a cup of black tea from Ceylon.

Even though these things are not necessarily related to ancient Chinese music, they are all defined by Mr. Martin as oriental images, and they all carry a kind of ethereal, profound, and incomprehensible mystery.

Don't blame Mr. Martin for his random understanding. He is a foreigner, and he is a foreigner who studied piano. It is not bad to be able to appreciate these images.

When Shen Mozhen performed in Europe, more than half of the audience seats were empty. This is the reality of foreigners' perception of Chinese national musical instruments. Even if some foreign audiences sit in the audience, they may not be able to understand these ancient songs. Although excellent music has no borders, the cultural generation gap is here, just like the Chinese do not understand Indian and Middle Eastern music.

Under the influence of Yu Zhan, Mr. Martin has done his homework in advance, and he is considered a relatively knowledgeable person.

At this moment, the foreign teachers sitting near him were whispering to each other. Many of them were very interested in seeing this Chinese multi-stringed instrument for the first time.

However, they are also confused and don't know why. Just looking at the title of the song Qu Shui He Xiang, even if it has been translated into English, it is still a big problem for them. They will never be able to understand the ancient Chinese song Liu Shang. What a beautiful picture overflowing with water and lotus fragrance.

At this moment, a rhythmic drumbeat suddenly joined Shen Mozhen's playing, and the audience felt refreshed instantly.

Everyone took a closer look and noticed the fat man in black at the corner of the stage. He was actually sitting on a black cajon. Both of them were pitch black. No wonder they didn't see him just now.

The so-called cajon is a box-shaped wooden percussion instrument, which can produce a sound similar to a jazz drum when the front end of the wooden box is patted by hand.

It first originated in Africa, when the poor used discarded wooden boxes to modify musical instruments to entertain themselves. But now the cajon has evolved into a trendy percussion music, which is highly sought after by professional musicians.

Foreigners like Mr. Martin don't know guzheng, but they all know cajon.

Not to mention foreigners, some teachers and professors in the audience also heard the combination of Guzheng and drums for the first time. They were surprised to see Shen Mozhen on the stage.

There is no one among them who does not know Shen Mozhen, and no one who has not heard her play the guzheng, which is very different from her previous style! The heavy bass of the zither matches the rhythm of the cajon, full of a powerful musical appeal. It's as if there is a little irresistible fashion element mixed in the lotus fragrance of Xiangyi Qingyuan, just like Shen Mozhen's restless heart.

After appearing in The King of Songs, Shen Mozhen once again set off a wave of enthusiasm in the hearts of young audiences.

It's amazing that a wooden box is also a musical instrument. I thought it was a stereo just by being there.

Let me give you some popular science. A wooden box is called a cajon. It is a commonly used musical instrument in the pop music industry and can replace jazz drums.

It's the first time I heard a guzheng performance, and I felt cool, especially after the drum beats, which inexplicably inspired me.

In fact, this kind of cross-border collocation is quite difficult. Shen Mozhen is really good. He is extremely sensitive to rhythm and has a superb ability to control cross-styles. It is comparable to Liu Man's previous piano and zither.

My impression of her is still that she is Tang Tu's predecessor. I didn't expect her to be so obsessed.

Birds of a feather flock together. She must have something special to be Tang Tu's first love.

She and Tang Tu are still on the right track, hey, what a pity.

I just want to say that the wooden box is so strong that such a fat man won't collapse if he sits on it (covering his mouth and laughing).

Don't laugh at him for being fat. I just googled the name shown on the subtitle. He is a big cow. He is a top student at Berkeley. It is not a problem to compose and arrange music. He is already a partner of a company at a young age, oh yes , is the company that Xiao Keer works for.

Then isn't he Xiao Ke'er's boss?

It is visually estimated that this fat man is not only talented, but also has a mine at home.

It doesn't matter if it's money or talent, I just like fat boys (love).

...

That's right, it was Huo Ming who played the cajon.

First Love and Liu Man's cover version of Flying Bird were very popular when they first appeared on the stage of The King of Songs. Naturally, Xinchen Records will release the official album version of these two songs while the iron is hot.

When First Love was being produced, Shen Mozhen also went to the recording studio to record the accompaniment part she was in charge of.

She told her parents categorically that she wanted to find resources to support herself, so of course the first resource was Xinchen Records.

She signed a short-term cooperation contract with Xin Chen, not a singer contract like Xiao Keer's. I can't get the online and offline sales share of the First Love album.

And this has satisfied her very much, she is also getting acquainted with Xue Yunfei and Huo Ming now, they are both engaged in the music industry, so naturally they have many topics in common.

Shen Mozhen has been rehearsing for so long, but she has actually been dissatisfied with the Qushuihexiang that she is about to perform at the celebration concert. This piece was chosen by her mother for her, and it is very suitable for an orthodox concert.

It's not that the tunes are bad, but that Shen Mozhen has a psychological shadow. Whenever she plays these traditional ancient tunes now, she will think of her feeling of helplessness and anxiety in front of a few audiences on the stage of a European concert hall. I also questioned my own music. Could it be that she can't play it well? Why don't foreigners like it?

She told Xue Yunfei and Huo Ming about her doubts. Both of them have studied abroad and are very good at arranging music. Maybe they can find the answer from them.

Xue Yunfei asked Shen Mozhen to play Qushuihexiang in the recording studio. After the song was over, Huo Ming said, foreigners can't understand it!

The first update~ My work and rest time is a bit messy, plus a little stuck, and now I am adjusting the work and rest time, so these days are the second update~
