Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 226 The Argument Between Grandfather and Grandson
After everyone finished singing, Heizi humbly asked Wu Guoming about the characteristics of Guilin folk songs.

This is the old man's strength and what he loves to talk about most.

"Guilin folk songs are related to labor, such as flute and pole songs (fisherman's songs), folk songs, etc.; dragon boat songs, Helang songs, crying songs, filial piety songs, etc., which are related to the nation; entertainment, appreciation value folk ditties and some begging, trade peddling sex ballads, etc."

"In terms of singing, it can be divided into three categories: high tune, flat tune, and ballad singing. Gaoqiang folk songs have broad tones, long breaths, and more upper and lower sentence structures; more colloquial"

Wu Guoming was eloquent.

"Then Wu Lili, what is your great-granddaughter good at?" Heizi interrupted.

Everyone's eyes immediately moved to the girl standing next to her.

"My grandfather said I'm not good at anything." The girl seemed a little frustrated.

"I think Lily sings very well. I sang against Teacher Yu on the river yesterday. It should be in a high-pitched voice, right?" Juanjuan interjected again.

Perhaps it was because the age difference between the two was not too big, so he defended the girl.

And for today's program, Juanjuan specially studied Guilin folk songs, knowing that there are high-pitched and flat-pitched ones.

Wu Guoming nodded.

"Lily came back and said that they sang duet with this teacher Yu. They did use a high-pitched voice, and they sang pretty well, but this teacher"

After Wu Guoming finished speaking, he looked at Yu Dongqing with a smile: "Your voice is not suitable for singing folk songs."

ha?
The old man spoke directly.

But Yu Dongqing wasn't angry, he said with a smile: "Yesterday, it was just a matter of my interest. Miss Wu Lili sang really nicely. Her voice is melodious and loud. It seems that she used falsetto, right?" "Yu Dongqing turned her head and asked Wu Lili.

"Yes, I also heard it yesterday." Zhou Wei interjected: "In the introduction of the song, there is a singing method with alternating real and false voices. The "earth" is fashionable, beautiful and ethereal, and it feels like a dolphin sound."

Hearing several people praise her, the girl blushed a little.

"Actually, although I'm still a little dissatisfied with Lily's singing, my Lily's singing is still the best among the girls in our village."

In the end, Wu Guoming was still proud of his great-granddaughter.

"It's just that fewer and fewer people learn folk songs now."

This is also a fact.

Yu Dongqing thought of Huayin's old accent in her hometown, young people gradually disliked it, and she was still supported by her third uncle's generation.

In fact, traditional music, including opera and folk songs, all face this problem.

But Wu Lili doesn't seem to agree.

"Grandpa, you can't say that. Although there are not as many people singing folk songs now as before, what's more, many Zhuang students in our class like to sing, and of course they like to sing pop songs more."

"I think, if our Guilin and even Guangxi folk songs want to attract young people, they must be improved! We call them new folk songs in our class!"

"You guys are fooling around!" Wu Guoming scolded.

"That's not true." Wu Lili argued: "The times are advancing, so should our folk songs also improve? As some teachers said just now, there is still a difference between the use of true and false sounds in folk songs. You can use half-truth, half-false, half-false hoarse singing."

Speaking of this, Wu Lili looked at Yu Dongqing, "Mr. Yu, although your voice is hoarse, you can actually sing our folk songs. You don't have to have a loud voice to sing folk songs, right?"

Ah?
Seeing the girl talking eloquently, everyone immediately realized that it seems that this issue has been debated more than once by the old and the young three generations apart.

This issue is more complicated, and no one will be able to convince anyone even after arguing for a while.

This is one of the key points of today's shooting. It is a very meaningful thing to discuss the inheritance and development of Guilin folk songs, the essence of music, and the collision of ideas between two generations.

But this is an entertainment program after all, and it cannot be filmed as a debate. The two argued for a while, and Heizi immediately concluded:

"Actually, those who make music, viewed from a global perspective, the foundation of popular music is folk music. As a musician, I really plunge into folk music to learn and dig out valuable materials, and combine my own modern techniques and theoretical concepts with folk music to create music. Music that belongs to China."

Everyone agrees with this conclusion and nods frequently.

"I think the folk song that Teacher Yu sang at the beginning yesterday is very nice, and it has the taste of a new folk song." Wu Lili said: "I just heard Teacher Yu sing this song, so I couldn't help singing."

"This song is not bad." Wu Guoming touched his gray beard, without arguing with his great-granddaughter, he also admired: "Mr. Yu, you composed it?"

"Don't dare, dare not." Yu Dongqing continued to be modest.

Even in the original time and space, the source of this song was very controversial. Most people thought it came from the movie "Liu Sanjie", but it was not at all.

It's from the prologue of the folk song and dance drama "Liu Sanjie"!

"Since everyone likes it, how about we sing this song again?" Heizi proposed.

"Okay!" Everyone immediately agreed.

So in this quaint courtyard, Juanjuan and the others were holding guitars, Liu Guoming was holding Tianqin, a unique musical instrument of the Zhuang nationality, Wu Lili was beating the fishing drum, and everyone sang.

Sing folk songs, come here, sing over there, join over there
Folk songs are like spring river water
Don't be afraid of dangerous beaches, there are many bends, there are many bends
Sing folk songs, come here, sing over there, join over there
The show lasted until noon, and Mr. Wu specially asked his family to take care of the lunch for the show crew. It wasn't big fish or meat, but Guilin's special glutinous rice.

It contains mung bean paste, spicy dried radish, sausage, crunchy and many other accessories, which has a special flavor when it is sung.

In the afternoon, the recording of the program was over, and everyone set off to return to the hotel. There was no activity tonight. Yu Dongqing was about to go out for a stroll after eating, but heard a knock on the door.

When I went to open the door, I saw two people standing at the door, one was the show host Heizi, and there was a beautiful girl behind, who turned out to be Wu Lili whom I had seen during the day.

"Holly, Lily came to the hotel specially to find the program team, and said she had something to do with you, so I brought him here." Heizi explained.

Then he said to Wu Lili: "Let's talk, I'll go first."

Regardless of what Yu Dongqing said, she just left.

What does this peat mean?
Yu Dongqing saw Wu Lili standing at the door, she was not as graceful as she was when she was singing duet yesterday, she seemed a bit cramped.

When people came, Yu Dongqing couldn't drive them away, so she smiled and called the girl to come in.

When Wu Lili walked into the room, Yu Dongqing didn't close the door, but half closed it.

"What do you want from me?" Yu Dongqing sat on the sofa opposite the girl and asked kindly.

"Mr. Yu, I want to sing your song "Folk Songs Are Like Spring River Water"." The girl explained her purpose for coming.
