Reckless man of entertainment who started from a novel

Chapter 333 "Canon", the masterpiece of human rationality in music

In the afternoon, I got off the plane.

Li Xiang got into Feng Yue's car and drove all the way to the Cultural and Entertainment Office.

Spokesperson for the Warsaw Children's Piano Competition?
beginning?
Looking out the window, the corners of Li Xiang's mouth curled up slightly...

God helps me too!

Li Xiang didn't feel much when the filming of Youth Like the Wind started, so when Mr. Fang proposed that he write a script to target Longyou and Xingkong, Li Xiang flatly rejected it.

But when Youth Rufeng launched the press conference, the two directors, Huang Zhao and Hu Lixian, wanted to step on him to get to the top position, and the two companies, Longyou and Xingkong, also wanted to rely on him to gain early traffic exposure and in the industry. The online drama market has gained a firm foothold.

Li Xiang's inner thoughts have completely changed.

Isn't it top class?

Isn't he a famous director?

Isn't it a big investment?
fuck him!

"Li Xiang, for the current spokesperson, I am fully responsible for the Cultural and Entertainment Office. I will work with you!"

Feng Yue, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, turned his head and said to Li Xiang:

"You probably need to take a few sets of photos, two to three commercials, plus the promotion of the competition..."

Listening to his eloquent introduction of the spokesperson's task, Li Xiang frowned slightly. Isn't this too much work?
Li Xiang leaned forward, probed and asked:

"Secretary Feng, with so much work, it will probably take a few days?"

"How many days have you been busy?"

Feng Yue smacked his mouth and said: "Although the Warsaw Children's Piano Competition will be held for the first time next year, but..."

"A lot of preparatory work is about to start now. Except for the event promotion and other work, you don't need to start immediately. For other advertising and other work, you will probably be busy for three days."

Li Xiang stroked his chin, thoughtfully, and said:
"Thank you Secretary Feng, I understand."

It took an hour, the vehicle drove downstairs to the Cultural and Entertainment Office, Feng Yue took Li Xiang to the conference room.

The preparation of the spokesperson for the Warsaw Children's Piano Competition was none other than Dmitry and Marta, two pianist masters. There were also several professional staff in the team responsible for planning the event.

Originally, such a trivial matter did not require the two piano masters to do it in person.

But when they thought that in the far east, there was such a superb piano genius as Li Xiang, how could they hold back and not come?

"Oh, Master Dmitri, Master Marta, long time no see."

As soon as he entered the door, Li Xiang's eyes lit up, and he walked up to the two masters in three steps at a time, and embraced them warmly.

Hello piano master!

More pure, more deceitful... no, more convincing!

The two masters also hugged him very warmly, and their four big hands kept patting Li Xiang's back.

Playing four-handed solo, it is still the representative work of the two of them.

During this period of time, the entire Western piano world has been caught in the upsurge of hand speed competitions, and the trend is sweeping, ranging from long-established piano masters to piano apprentices who have just started.

Everyone is trying Li Xiang's unique skill.

Dmitri and Marta are no exception, but only after trying it will you know how terrifying Li Xiang's hand speed is.

When they came this time, they also received a lot of purchase requests from friends——

Please be sure to buy more Liqun!
After the attempt, the entire Western piano world fell into a state of madness, and there was almost a kind of obsessive worship for Li Xiang.

"We're glad to see you too."

Marta showed off her Chinese: "I know there is a saying that goes like this, if you don't see each other for a day, it's like three autumns."

"us……"

Marta let go of his hand, momentarily at a loss for words, obviously he was frantically calculating how many Sanqiu in his heart.

"It's not important, it's not important."

Li Xiang patted Marta and said with a smile: "It is my honor to see you two again."

The two masters also smiled and nodded in agreement.

After all the greetings were finished and they sat down and chatted for a while, Chen Fuli, the person in charge of the Warsaw Children's Piano Competition in China, took several of his subordinates to stand up and said to Li Xiang:

"Mr. Li Xiang, hello, I know your time is also precious, why don't we start the work process now?"

"I have no opinion."

His time is indeed precious, and there are still a lot of things waiting for him when he goes back.

He got up and said to the two masters:

"The two masters, I will go to work first."

"Okay, okay." Master Marta smiled and said, "Call me when you're done!"

"no problem!"

……

……

in the studio.

Li Xiang put on the prepared tuxedo and sat in front of the piano to pose for a photo.

The flashes kept flickering, accompanied by a sentence from the cameraman——

"Hey, okay, keep your expression on!"

"Yes, that's it, head up a little bit!"

"That's right, okay, another one!"

From the afternoon to the evening, it took four hours to shoot, and Li Xiang felt his facial expression became stiff.

After work was over, Li Xiang rubbed his cheeks and stood up. Chen Fuli walked up to him quickly, and said with a smile:
"Thank you for your cooperation. We have two more advertisements tomorrow. If everything goes well, it will end in about two days..."

"and many more."

Li Xiang waved his hand, looked at Chen Fuli and asked, "Mr. Chen, with all due respect, what is the purpose of taking photos and commercials?"

"For what?" Chen Fuli replied without thinking, without thinking:

"Of course it's to promote the Warsaw Children's Piano Competition."

"Yes." Li Xiang paused and continued:

"But look at... advertisements, photos, isn't this kind of plan too common?"

There was a hint of doubt in Chen Fuli's eyes, he raised his head and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

"I have an idea. I can definitely contribute to the promotion of the Warsaw Piano Competition. The effect is guaranteed to be much better than a mere advertisement."

"Oh..." Chen Fuli couldn't wait to ask: "If you have any ideas, just tell me."

"No hurry." Li Xiang smiled slightly, touched his stomach and said:

"If Mr. Chen hasn't eaten yet, why don't you come with me. Master Marta and Master Dmitri are also here. I'm at the dinner table. Let's talk about my plan in detail?"

"Of course no problem." Chen Fuli nodded.

……

……

The two left the studio and got into the car. Li Xiang glanced at WeChat and said:
"Go to Jingshan Western Restaurant, Master Marta has already made reservations in advance."

"Okay. Please fasten your seat belt sir, we're going now."

The driver replied thoughtfully.

The vehicle started, and half an hour later, Li Xiang and Chen Fuli rushed to Jingshan Western Restaurant.

This floor has been reserved by Marta in advance, and only Li Xiang has a table in the huge western restaurant.

Li Xiang chatted with everyone about his plan while eating:

"In terms of publicity, I personally feel that the current plan is too conventional and the effect is not satisfactory."

"Oh?"

Marta put down the knife and fork and asked, "Then what's your plan?"

"Yes, tell me."

Dmitry chimed in.

"For the piano competition, I really have an idea."

After drinking and eating, he looked around and found a piano in the middle of the restaurant.

"waiter!" Li Xiang snapped his fingers.

The waiter standing aside quickly stepped forward: "Sir, what are your orders?"

"Can you play the piano?"

"Of course, if necessary, I can invite a pianist to come."

"No need."

Li Xiang stood up, tugged at the hem of his suit, and said with a smile, "I'll just play."

"As you wish." The waiter gestured with his hand.

Li Xiang nodded, and said to everyone present: "Everyone, please listen to the new piano music I have been thinking about during this time."

Everyone: "!!!"

Li Xiang's high piano attainments have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Newly figured out?

The two piano masters looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes, they nodded and said:

"Okay."

When Chen Fuli heard this, he also smiled.

He is a piano lover, and he is also the person in charge of the publicity of the Warsaw Children's Piano Competition. He naturally knows that the previously scheduled plan is only moderate.

If... Li Xiang is willing to play a new piano piece to promote the Warsaw Children's Piano Competition, that would be great!

Li Xiang walked to the center of the restaurant, opened the chair and sat in front of the piano, and said to everyone:
"The name of this piano piece is "Canon"!"

Canon?

Dmitri and Marta looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

The word Canon is not unusual for the two masters, because it is a technique of music composition.

Canon - a kind of polyphonic music, originally meant "law".

The tune of one part chases the other part from beginning to end, until the last bar, the last chord, blending together, giving people a sacred artistic conception.

Although all the voices of the canon imitate one voice, the voices of different heights enter at certain intervals, resulting in a continuous effect one after another. The round singing is also a kind of canon.

In Kanon, the first melody to appear is the leading sentence, and the answering sentence is imitated later.

Canon can be divided into Canon of the same degree, Canon of the fifth degree, Canon of the fourth degree, etc. according to the interval difference of the height of each voice;

According to the length of the interval, it can be divided into one-section canon, two-section canon, etc.;
In addition, there are various techniques such as accompaniment canon, transposition canon, retrograde canon, and reverse canon.

But in Blue Star, everyone's impression of Canon is nothing more than that, and there are indeed many famous piano pieces played according to the rules of Canon.

Could it be that Li Xiang's song is similar?

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Li Xiang played the piano with both hands.

Li Xiang secretly sighed in his heart, the full name of the canon he will play is "Canon in D Major".

It is called - the masterpiece of human reason in music!
Composer Pacapelle used the rondo form, with elements of infinite motion music in it.

In the previous life, the reason why this music was particularly famous among all the canons was because it contained a hint of sweet and peaceful sadness.

When the piano sounded, everyone present was intoxicated by Li Xiang's piano sound.

It is said that there is a story behind this "Canon in D Major".

Back then, the young Pacapelle endured the great pain of his beloved wife and children dying from the plague, and created a group of immortal music to commemorate the dead. One of the variations is the Canon in D major, which is called by later generations. .

To be precise, as a musical name, Canon does not specifically refer to a piece of music, but its original meaning is "rules".

"The same melody appears successively in each part at different heights such as the same degree or fifth degree, resulting in continuous imitation of one rising and one falling."

Just like the unswerving love in the world until death, the two people who love each other accompany each other in life and death, and are extremely lingering.

This is also one of the reasons why this Canon was chosen in the beginning of the play.

I have to say that the midday sun is really meticulous in handling these details.

After the song was played, Li Xiang stood up to express his thanks.

Everyone woke up like a dream, and the audience applauded like thunder.

Dmitry: "It makes me feel a shiver that goes right down the spine, right down to the soul."

Marta: "The pinnacle of Canon."

"Of all the performances of Canon, Li Xiang's Canon brought me the biggest surprise." Chen Fuli was filled with emotion.

If the four-hand playing by a single player is the pinnacle of personal skill, then this song is known as the representative work of human rationality in music - Canon.

It is to let everyone see Li Xiang's amazing creative ability.

"how?"

"How should I cooperate with you? Just say it."

After listening to Li Xiang's canon, Chen Fuli didn't have any worries.

No matter what Li Xiang's plan is, even if it's a piece of shit, as long as this canon is there, it will turn decay into magic.

"No rush." ​​Li Xiang signaled everyone to sit down, he smiled and said:
"What do you all think of this song as a promotional song for the Warsaw Children's Piano Competition?"

Chen Fuli rushed to answer: "If this is the case, the piano competition will definitely be a blockbuster."

The two piano masters also nodded in agreement.

"I can use it as a promotional song, but the organizer also needs to cooperate with my request."

Chen Fuli said solemnly:

"You say, as long as we can do it. It's absolutely fine."

You know, Chen Fuli himself is a piano lover.

Although he doesn't play very well, his listening level is still very high.

Now that this song is in front of him, he has no reason not to catch it.

Li Xiang leaned forward and whispered to Chen Fuli.

half an hour.

Chen Fuli nodded lightly and said: "Although it is a little different from our plan, and the publicity time has been delayed until the next year... But."

"It's not a big problem, we agreed."

"Okay, talk quickly." Li Xiang smiled slightly.

The first step of the initial plan was negotiated, and Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he talked with the two piano masters about the creation of Canon's score, and Li Xiang answered them one by one.

The host and guests had a good time at the dinner, Li wanted to go back to the hotel to rest, he slept comfortably.

But the two masters Dmitry and Marta couldn't sleep all night!

When I close my eyes, the melody of "Canon in D Major" lingers in my mind, and I can't extricate myself!
This pinnacle work in the history of the piano, but only a few of them know that this is a kind of happiness, but also a great pain!

Their desire to confide is overwhelming, but every time it comes to this moment, they think of the words Li Xiang said when they parted——

"This matter is of great importance, and I ask the two masters to keep it a secret for me for a while!"

Li Xiang has said so, what else can they do?
I can only pat my chest and agree!
However, this masterpiece of human rationality in music really made the two piano masters almost lose their rationality!
