Chapter 42 Choose Whatever You Want, I Can Do It!
The words "It's your turn, Fang Qiu" instantly focused everyone's attention on Fang Qiu.
All looking forward to it.
Looking forward to Fang Qiu's performance.
Let's see who can have the last laugh in this fierce fight.
"come on!"
Zhu Benzheng, Sun Hao and Zhou Xiaotian encouraged Fang Qiu in a low voice.
Fang Qiu nodded and walked to the center of the playground.
"What instrument did you choose? I'm not here for them to get!"
Li Qingshi pointed to the row of musical instruments on display at the Folk Art Association.
There are Xiao, guitar, flute, guzheng, pipa, and even erhu, violin, cello and so on.
These are the musical instruments owned by the members of the Folk Art Association. This shows that Jiangjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine has many literary and artistic talents!
Fang Qiu pointed towards these instruments and looked at Li Qingshi with a smile.
"What's the meaning?"
Li Qingshi didn't know why.
"I can choose whatever you want."
Fang Qiu said extremely arrogantly.
Wow!
The whole audience was stunned.
You're not joking, are you?
There are at least a dozen musical instruments here, both domestic and foreign, traditional and modern. How dare you say you can choose at will?
Do you still know how to do it?
You're not bragging like that, right?
And this is a competition, so you have to choose what you are best at, right?
Let alone not being able to master a musical instrument for several years, even if you learn the same instrument in one year, it will take more than ten years!
How old are you Fang Qiu now?
Seventeen!
Haven't you been playing musical instruments since you were born?
Zhu Benzheng, Sun Hao and Zhou Xiaotian were also frightened by Fang Qiu's words, and they all swallowed hard.
I'll be a good boy!
I knew that Fang Qiu was very powerful before, and I also guessed that Fang Qiu was even more powerful, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful!
The musical instrument brother lets you choose whatever you want!
So domineering!
Jiang Miaoyu also looked at Fang Qiu with her beautiful eyes wide open in disbelief.
All of these...are they? ? ?
Li Qingshi was so shocked by Fang Qiu's words that he didn't react for a long time. Finally, he laughed dryly and said, "Are you kidding me?"
"No joke."
Fang Qiu said with great certainty.
"Erhu!"
Li Qingshi said immediately.
He doesn't care whether Fang Qiu is telling the truth or lies!
Since you said so, let me choose the hardest one for you and see how you get off the stage!
Besides, he didn't believe what Fang Qiu said at all, so he chose the most remote erhu.
The others are relatively common, only Erhu is played by very few people.
Even if it does, so what, this thing is particularly difficult to master!
Generally speaking, string instruments are the most difficult to learn, even more difficult to learn than wind instruments.
Stringed instruments are divided into frets and frets.
The pitch of a fretted stringed instrument is guaranteed in advance. One fret is a semitone interval, and two frets constitute a whole interval. It is much easier to learn and use it in terms of pitch alone.
As for fretless string instruments, their pitch depends entirely on the player's good hearing and pitch discrimination ability to direct the fingers of his left hand to obtain the accurate pitch.
If a person is tone deaf and cannot sing the music he hears in the same key, he will not be able to learn any fretless string instrument at all.
The guitar has frets, and Fang Qiu proved at the opening ceremony that he knows it, while the erhu, violin, and cello have no frets.
As for why I didn’t choose violin or cello, it’s because there is a consensus in the vocal music community that the fewer strings, the more difficult it is.
Therefore, Erhu can be said to be biased and difficult!
Fang Qiu, I don’t believe you can!
"Can!"
Fang Qiu nodded and strode towards the Folk Art Association.
Seeing Fang Qiu approaching, the people from the Folk Art Association subconsciously moved away.
This person is too powerful.
When people around heard that Fang Qiu wanted to play the erhu, they secretly criticized Li Qingshi for shamelessly choosing such an off-beat instrument.
Moreover, in their impression, Erhu is associated with the elderly, especially the blind.
It’s not their fault. Blind man A Bing is so famous among the erhu masters.
The song "Two Springs Reflect the Moon" is full of sadness and beauty.
The sound of the erhu is extremely gloomy and unsuitable for a teenager to play.
This is too inconsistent with Fang Qiu's image and temperament.
Under everyone's gaze, Fang Qiu took his erhu and moved a stool to the center of the playground.
I lowered the height of the microphone so that it was facing the Erhu. I sat on a stool and simply pulled it to test the sound, and then tightened the upper strings.
Then he played again and then nodded.
Li Qingshi stood not far away and looked at Fang Qiu. Although he didn't know the erhu, he mostly knew some common sense.
Fang Qiu's posture and a series of tuning movements made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Could he really do it?
But he still wasn't too worried.
Even if it does, so what, can it still compare to his level of dongxiao playing for more than ten years?
Fang Qiu forgot about his surroundings and raised his voice: "I will give you a song of "The Galloping War Horse"."
A galloping war horse?
Everyone was a little confused when they heard this.
Isn’t the erhu all about the kind of music that can be played like Ru Weep Ru Shu? Why does this sound so intense?
Before they could react, Fang Qiu had already started playing.
An intense piece of music instantly detonated the audience.
Everyone looked at Fang Qiu who was playing in shock.
Damn it!
Is this played by the erhu?
So intense?
And they really felt that thousands of horses were galloping in front of them.
They even heard the sound of horses neighing?
Can this erhu still be played like this?
Damn it! What's going on?
Why is there still the sound of horse hooves?
"Da da da da da..."
They looked towards Fang Qiu and suddenly noticed that Fang Qiu seemed to be vibrating the piano shaft with his bow.
Use this to simulate the sound of horse hooves.
Awesome my brother!
This is OK!
In fact, it is not as simple as they see.
In order to simulate the sound of horse hooves, Fang Qiu put the bow hair close to the strings, rubbed the strings up and down, and played continuously. Only with the perfect cooperation of his two hands did he make a "click, click, click" sound.
It's just that this superb technique is not enough for outsiders to understand.
Not only that, he also used various methods to imitate the neighing of horses.
For example, use the bow shaft and hair to rub the inner and outer strings, and use the vibrato and glissando of the left hand to imitate the neighing of a group of horses.
Another example is the rapid continuous bowing of the inner string, combined with the sliding tone of the left hand, to simulate the neighing of a single horse.
Absolutely lifelike and very lifelike!
Instantly put everyone into the scene of galloping war horses and the neighing of thousands of horses.
It’s so vivid!
It’s also so shocking!
One after another, the passionate melody completely brought them into the majestic scene of cavalry training and battle.
They seemed to see a mighty cavalry team on the endless grassland training ground, fully armed and ready to go.
At this time the horn sounded and the charge began.
A neat battle formation galloped away into the distance.
The enemy appears suddenly and is encountered instantly.
Suddenly the war horses neighed, killing sounds were everywhere, shouts and the sound of horse hooves came and went!
After a fierce battle, the enemy was defeated and fled.
The cavalry team pursued the victory, and the battle ended with the proud neighing of the horses.
The song "The Galloping War Horse" made the passionate men around them excited.
I wish they were the heroic soldiers on the battlefield at this moment, fighting the enemy bravely and defending the motherland and the people!
When the song ended, overwhelming applause swept in.
Compared with Li Qingshi's "A Smile in the Sea", which is about personal pleasure and hatred, Fang Qiu's "The Galloping Horse" is undoubtedly a higher level in terms of emotions.
This is no longer a fight for oneself, but for the whole country.
In comparison, Li Qingshi's performance is undoubtedly petty.
How could there not be Fang Qiu’s vigorous atmosphere!
This is what they think is a good piece of music. No matter how it is played, a good piece of music is a good piece of music. It will inspire people to be excited and upward, rather than reclusive and passive!
Chinese culture emphasizes "continuous development", and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement!
The purpose of a gentleman's constant self-improvement is to cultivate his character, manage his family, govern his country, and bring peace to the world!
How can a little child's love for the world compare to the great love for his family and country!
Even if Li Qingshi's music selection is excellent, it can't be as wonderful as Fang Qiu's song.
Zhu Benzheng, Sun Hao, and Zhou Xiaotian finally put their hearts in their stomachs.
Damn it!
You, the youngest, can do it!
I know how to play Erhu!
From now on, if I don’t have enough money, I’ll put you on the bridge at the night market, pretending to be blind and playing the erhu to make money!
Li Qingshi's face looked extremely ugly at this time. From the applause around him, he knew that his performance was weak.
He didn't expect Fang Qiu to really know how to play Erhu.
And it was performed so brilliantly.
The song selection is also very clever.
If he had known this, he would not have chosen the erhu, but would have chosen another fretless string instrument.
He thought it was Fang Qiu's bad luck that he happened to choose the one he was good at.
But so what, there is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, and folk art belongs to the category of literature and art and it is impossible to distinguish between good and bad. Although he was weaker in the applause, who can say that he is really worse than Fang Qiu?
Fang Qiu seemed to see what Li Qingshi was thinking. He stood up and bowed to the surroundings.
Then he walked towards the Folk Art Association with his erhu and microphone stand.
Everyone was immediately confused when they saw this.
What is this for?
Return the equipment?
What are you doing with the microphone stand?
Jiang Miaoyu also looked at Fang Qiu curiously. Fang Qiu's performance just now really surprised her.
She found that she really didn't know enough about this classmate Fang.
Looking back, I know nothing about him except that he can sing, play flute, play guitar, and now he knows an erhu and loves to read.
It seems that Fang Qiu is like a mystery that no one can see clearly.
She felt that there should be many secrets about this person.
She didn't have to wait long. Under the curious gaze of everyone, she came to the musical instruments of the Folk Art Association, put the microphone stand and erhu there, and reached out to pick up Xiao.
What is this for?
Everyone is more confused.
When Li Qingshi saw Fang Qiu's actions, he suddenly had an even worse premonition.
Fang Qiu smiled coldly at Li Qingshi.
Under everyone's gaze, Fang Qiu moved!
Raise the Xiao and start playing directly into the microphone.
The melody instantly echoed throughout the playground.
It was "A Laugh from the Sea" played by Li Qingshi.
And it is no less impressive than Li Qingshi’s playing.
boom!
The whole audience was shocked.
Slap in the face!
Absolutely a slap in the face!
Playing the same song with the same instrument is a slap in the face!
This is to declare that I can do what you can’t do, and I can do what you can do!
Li Qingshi's face was gloomy.
Blow for a while.
Fang Qiu put down Xiao and picked up the pipa without saying a word.
Another song "A Smile from the Sea"!
Damn it!
Another slap in the face!
Second slap in the face!
I can do what you can’t do, I can do what you can do, and I can do what I can’t do!
Fang Qiu, you are ready to become a face-slapping maniac!
What shocked them the most was that the "choose whatever you want" that Fang Qiu said before was really not a lie. This was really the rhythm that all musical instruments knew!
Could it be that he also plays a fourth instrument?
Under Li Qingshi's more gloomy gaze, Fang Qiu put down his pipa, walked to Gu Zheng and sat down.
