Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 806 65. Fairy tale in a few words

Qiao Zhizhi nodded and admitted that she disagreed with Teacher Li's point of view.

Then he expressed his thoughts, "Teacher Li, I think stars are not suitable to symbolize dreams here, because they are out of reach for us."

"An unreachable existence." Li An was a little surprised by Qiao Zhizhi's thoughts.

Qiao Zhizhi: "Yes, girls can never chase the stars."

For a moment, Ang Lee felt a little bit in trouble. He originally thought that Qiao Zhizhi would come up with an idea that would be more conducive to perfecting the stage.

But now he felt a little troubled. He couldn't deny what Qiao Zhizhi said, and even said that Qiao Zhizhi's ideas gave him some inspiration. But if he did this show according to Qiao Zhizhi's words, the stage would be completely complicated.

This is no longer a stage that a student team can control.

In fact, Qiao Zhizhi's thoughts and his thoughts are two ends of a rope. What he wants to convey through this program is that dreams are not out of reach.

What could be more touching than having the girl successfully chase the stars at the end?

But thinking about it again, Ang Lee thought of another question, whether this kind of value is worth promoting in today's environment.

As a stage choreographer, Ang Lee presented a program from a higher perspective for the first time.

As he said, this program will not only be performed in schools, but will also go out of schools.

After thinking for a moment, Li An had a new plan.

"Then let's make some adjustments and let the stars represent the starry sky, represent a kind of spiritual sustenance, and represent a kind of guidance. What do you think of this?"

Qiao Zhizhi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and a picture immediately appeared in her mind: "Great!"

Ang Lee: "But this way we face a new problem. Since stars are not the carrier of dreams, how can we embody the theme of pursuing ideals on the stage."

"In other words, what the star-chasing girl finally chases and what she gets, we need to use an intuitive performance to let the audience see it."

"Do you understand me?"

Qiao Zhizhi: "Teacher Li, I understand."

Ang Lee: "What do you think? As the only dynamic actor on the stage, every rhythm point of the show needs to be conveyed to the audience through your performance. We now need several new stage rhythm points."

Qiao Zhizhi thought for a long time, "Teacher Li, can I play the piano on the stage?"

violin? Li An's heart stirred, and a series of thoughts immediately emerged from his mind.

Have it.

Ang Lee did not answer Qiao Zhizhi's question, but quickly stood up and walked to a piano to sit down, then lifted the lid and played a rather dazzling passage.

This section is the last variation of k.265 that he changed.

After playing, he looked at Qiao Zhizhi and said, "Can you play it?"

Qiao Zhizhi: "Yes!"

A new stage idea was opened up. Not only did Ang Lee once again perfect the stage text, but the "strings" of the orchestra were finally filled in!
Now we just need an idea to fully activate the stage.

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps in the corridor, this time the footsteps were much deeper.

Li An had a bad premonition. He and Qiao Zhizhi heard a surprised voice from the corridor at the same time: "Mom?!"

Xu Li, who was next door, felt something was wrong when she heard the noise. When she came out, she saw Wang Xiaohu running towards this place.

In the corridor, Xu Li saw her son holding a sheet of music in his hand, and guessed what he was doing. She turned around and returned to piano classroom B without saying anything.

Wang Xiaohu had just seen the lights in piano classroom A being on downstairs, and since his mother hadn't left yet, he took it for granted that the teacher must be in piano classroom A at this moment.

As soon as he walked in, he was dumbfounded. Why was Qiao Zhizhi there?

"Why did you come here?" Of course Li An could see the music score in Wang Xiaohu's hand, but he did not support Wang Xiaohu using evening self-study time to practice piano.

Wang Xiaohu explained: "Teacher, I have finished my homework, so I want to come and practice the piano."

Li An: "Have you and the teacher asked for leave?"

Wang Xiaohu: "I invited a teacher! As soon as I said it was to arrange a program, Teacher Liang asked me to come directly."

After a pause, "Teacher, what are you doing?"

Li Anxin thought that since he was here, he should come, "We happen to be discussing the program, so you can come too."

Li An briefly talked to Wang Xiaohu about the changes in the program, and Wang Xiaohu clapped his hands after hearing this.

"This is not easy!"

Ang Lee and Qiao Zhizhi were stunned for a moment, and then they heard Wang Xiaohu excitedly say: "Teacher, I wanted to tell you that day that Qiao Zhizhi would come on stage to play a piece, and there would be strings involved."

"That's it?" Li An thought Wang Xiaohu had come up with some idea.

Wang Xiaohu pouted: "Listen to what I have to say."

Li Anle: "Come, sit down and talk slowly."

The teacher and student returned to the piano and each found a piano stool and sat down.

"Teacher, are we a music literacy class?" Wang Xiaohu asked mysteriously.

Ang Lee: "Of course."

Wang Xiaohu once again asked mysteriously: "Should we embody the pursuit of dreams on stage?"

Ang Lee: "Yes."

Wang Xiaohu spread his hands, "Isn't this the end? Can't we just fuse them directly on the stage?"

Qiao Zhizhi: "Chasing music dreams."

Wang Xiaohu: "Yes!"

Qiao Zhizhi: "But how to express it? We have clapping sessions and various musical instrument performances. How should I do it? I can't jump around and conjure up a piano and then add music. It's too abrupt. "

Ang Lee already has a solution to the question asked by Qiao Zhizhi.

Wang Xiaohu made gestures: "We have six musical instruments in total, piano, saxophone, flute, trumpet, clarinet, and violin."

“That’s part of our soundtrack and the kind of instruments we’re going to showcase.”

"The first thing that came out was the piano, that's what we knew for sure."

Wang Xiaohu said and looked at Li An, Li An said: "Just say it."

Wang Xiaohu looked at Qiao Zhizhi again: "Remember what we discussed yesterday. As soon as the piano theme comes out, you will appear. Just as you said, you will have an interaction with the piano first. You said the purpose of this interaction is to introduce the piano as an instrument."

Li An looked approvingly, thinking that this girl could still think of this, and he hadn't even considered it from the perspective of publicity. It was such a good idea.

Wang Xiaohu suddenly raised his voice: "Now we have changed it. In this interaction, you have to show that you don't like piano. Why?"

"Suppose the second instrument that appears is the clarinet. You have to grasp the rhythm. When the clarinet is about to sound, you leave the piano and discover the clarinet."

"The rest are just next to each other. I don't like any of them. Finally, you find the violin in the corner. You find the instrument you like. From discovery to liking, you can do this. Oh, let me go!"

Wang Xiaohu immediately became excited as he said this. He felt that he was simply a stage genius.

"you listen to me!"

Qiao Zhizhi smiled bitterly: "I'm listening carefully."

Wang Xiaohu looked at An Li: "Teacher, I have a bold idea. When Qiao Zhizhi discovers the violin, can we create such an effect."

"We were all quiet, all the music stopped, and a beam of light shone on Qiao Zhizhi. She approached the violin curiously, and then picked up the violin on the ground."

"Why should the whole place be quiet?"

"Because you have to tell the audience that you can't play the violin. Do you remember the first time you got the violin?"

Li An's eyes lit up, and his idea was completely perfect. At the same time, he looked at Wang Xiaohu and sighed in his heart, maybe this bastard was born to do this.

Qiao Zhizhi: "Remember."

Wang Xiaohu: "Just act like you picked up the piano for the first time. Maybe you don't even know how to hold the bow. Anyway, you just make some harsh sounds to show everyone that you don't know how."

"Then you explore a little bit and play a few notes. The key point is here. Little Star is the simplest music. After listening to it on the stage for so long, you can already play a few notes. You are on the piano. Try to find out the little stars, isn’t this the reappearance of the theme!”

Wang Xiaohu said and looked at Ang Lee again: "Teacher, can we let the piano play the opening theme again before the end of this gap? Instead of clapping, let the piano and violin squeak together to give the audience a sense of anticipation. Finally, directly After receiving the last variation, the violinist played a difficult performance, and the rest of the group returned to the normal performance, clapping when they should, doing whatever they had to do, and everyone ended together. "

"From not liking other instruments, to discovering the violin, to falling in love with the violin, from playing the simplest little star to playing the complex little star variations, isn't this a process of realizing a dream?"

"Aren't the little stars who slap hands the witnesses and guides of this process?"

"Qiao Zhizhi, doesn't your performance connect everything on the stage together?" "Teacher, isn't this our club?"

"For example, I tried many musical instruments at first, but I didn't like them. It wasn't until I discovered the piano that I realized the joy of music."

It must be said that Wang Xiaohu’s last words were indeed the finishing touch, completely activating the stage.

Ang Lee lamented, not only that, Wang Xiaohu's stage design is very rhythmic, especially the blank scene before the last variation, which is really thoughtful.

"A very good stage idea." Ang Lee highly affirmed Wang Xiaohu, "Your idea is much better than mine."

Wang Xiaohu suddenly became shy when he was praised by the teacher. Of course he was happy that the teacher said this, but he didn't believe that his idea was better than the teacher's. The teacher must have said this to encourage him.

"Zhizhi, what do you think of Wang Xiaohu's creativity?"

"Exceptionally good," Qiao Zhizhi had just been mesmerized. While listening to Wang Xiaohu's description, she was rehearsing the stage in her mind. She found that after hearing Wang Xiaohu's thoughts, she seemed to have already acted it out once.

"I like it very much." Qiao Zhizhi said truthfully, "but there is one thing I think I can change."

Wang Xiaohu: "Where?"

Qiao Zhizhi: "I remember when I was choosing an instrument when I was a child, I initially chose the oboe, but I gave up after two lessons. The reason I gave up was not because I didn't like it, but because I couldn't play it well."

Wang Xiaohu: “!”

"What you mean is to change the performance you don't like to something you can't learn, such as the clarinet. Then put a clarinet under Lin Ziyang's feet. You pick it up and pretend to play it. If you can't play it, then change to the next instrument. ”

Qiao Zhizhi: "That's probably what it means. I have to go back and design the performance."

Wang Xiaohu: "That's good. You can't show that you don't like him. You have to be attracted by his voice first, so you get closer."

Qiao Zhizhi: "Yes, yes."

"Then how are you going to appear?" Wang Xiaohu suddenly thought of this key question, "The background is at night, under the night sky, the piano sounds, and then you hear it, appear? Are you a student? What clothes will you wear then?"

Qiao Zhizhi frowned: "That's a problem. There are several other students who play musical instruments."

Wang Xiaohu once again fell into thinking: "What kind of scene should everyone perform in? What other students see in the middle of the night is the night sky, and this cannot be changed."

Qiao Zhizhi murmured about the night sky, and suddenly, "How about the forest under the night sky? Doesn't it fit the mood of the stage?"

Wang Xiaohu was so excited that Qiao Zhizhi once again inspired his imagination, "Each of us can play an animal! The little animals under the night sky take out their instruments and play a symphony after the human world is quiet!"

I'm so awesome! Wang Xiaohu thought of it again, and he immediately looked at the teacher, "Teacher! Do you still remember when we enrolled students?"

Li Anxin laughed. You finally realized that there is another person here? However, he deliberately did not interrupt.

Listening to the two children talking to each other, gradually and clearly outlining the texture of the show, he thought that maybe the stage should be designed by the children themselves.

Just like before him, he felt ashamed of the imagination displayed by the two children.

Of course he understood what Wang Xiaohu was going to say. When they recruited students, in order to let the children feel the characteristics of each instrument more intimately, he gave examples for each instrument. For example, the flute sounded like a lark, and the trumpet sounded like a roar. monkey.

"It doesn't matter. There is no need to deliberately lean in here. You continue."

After speaking, Li An stopped saying anything.

Then in the forest under the night sky, the two started discussing again.

Twenty minutes later, the two of them had even planned out how to arrange every detail on the stage, but they couldn't decide on Qiao Zhizhi's role.

Wang Xiaohu's last idea was to let Qiao Zhizhi play a little white rabbit that comes out to look for food late at night.

Qiao Zhizhi could only accept this setting because she couldn't think of anything better.

The bell for the first evening self-study period rang in the corridor, and Li An had to let the two children go back.

"In this way, we have made a breakthrough today. You two can use your spare time to continue to improve this stage, but it cannot affect your homework."

"Let's stop here today. Zhizhi, please work harder and design the movements. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will send you the violin score. You can practice it on the weekend and I will listen to it next week."

Qiao Zhizhi: "Yeah!"

Wang Xiaohu interrupted: "Teacher, she wants to learn piano from you, take a small class."

Ang Lee: "Oh?"

Qiao Zhizhi was not timid at all. She nodded and admitted, "Teacher Li, are you still accepting students? I have already told my mother and she is very supportive of me."

Ang Lee: "Do you still have time on the weekend?"

Qiao Zhizhi: "Yes!"

Li An: "Go back on Friday and ask your mother to contact me. It will be in my phone group and your mother can see it."

Qiao Zhizhi hummed excitedly!
Li An looked at Wang Xiaohu again: "You can practice without a piano. I've taught you before. You don't have to run away. Do you understand?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded: "Yes!"

Li An: "Okay, you don't have to go to your mother. I'll explain it to you. You two should go back quickly."

Wang Xiaohu chuckled: "Thank you, teacher."

Qiao Zhizhi: "Goodbye, Teacher Li!"

The two left happily, and started whispering as soon as they left the classroom door. Li An didn't know what the two of them were laughing about.

But it's good, he likes this youthful feeling.

Opening the list of potential students and flipping through it, Li An saw Qiao Zhizhi's teacher-student index, which had reached 45.

Then he looked at Tang Xiaoxing again. It was only Wednesday, and Tang Xiaoxing had already practiced piano for twenty hours this week.

When he started taking club classes, Li An turned off the system prompts.

Otherwise, this class would not be possible because the children would be too enthusiastic.
-
On the way home, Li An praised Xu Li and praised Wang Xiaohu.

Xu Li also heard it. She had been listening in the corridor.

"Do you think he is really talented in this area?" Xu Li asked.

Ang Lee replied: "Maybe not at all. Sister Xu, what role do you think Qiao Zhizhi should play?"

Xu Li: "I was also thinking about the fairy tales I had read before, but I really couldn't think of them. Anyway, the little white rabbit was almost interesting."

Ang Lee: "Yeah, I feel the same way. If this character were still an animal, it would be a repetition."
-
It was already 8:30 pm when I got home. When Li An entered the door, he heard the sound of the piano stop.

"You practice yours."

Using the time of practicing the piano in the car, Ang Lee contacted Pao Mei and made a score of the violin part.

At ten o'clock sharp, the car came out of the study room. She felt that she had not seen the teacher all day.

"We won't have dinner together at noon."

Xiaoche: "Hey, teacher, have you been writing books after class?"

Li An: "Yes, come sit down and ask you something."

Car: "Yeah."

Ang Lee told Xiaoche everything that happened in Shuren today. Finally, he asked Xiaoche, "What kind of role do you think Qiao Zhizhi should play if you were the director of this show."

Xiaoche thought for a while: "She doesn't have to play anyone, she is Qiao Zhizhi. She had a dream, dreaming of a forest symphony under the stars."

Ang Lee: "!!!"

What's going on in these kids' heads? Every time I open my mouth, there's a golden idea.

If this is a dream, the dream will naturally wake up after dawn, everything on the stage disappears, the stage lights are turned on, and the background of the stage becomes the scholar's girls' dormitory.

The scene of Qiao Zhizhi carrying the violin beside her and leaving the dormitory, marks the beginning of a new day for every scholar child.

"teacher?"

Li An came back to his senses, his eyes became eager, "Good little car, think about it again, don't think about what I said that night, just think about it for yourself, think about what Qiao Zhizhi dreamed of becoming. , she can’t still be Qiao Zhizhi in her dream.”

Xiaoche thought for a moment and said, "A little star."

As she spoke, a picture appeared in her mind. The sky was full of stars. Under the quiet starlight, a forest concert was going on in the big forest.

A little star was attracted by Little Star's piano melody and couldn't help but fall down from the sky to find out.

Xiaoche didn't know if she could help the teacher. Seeing that the teacher didn't say a word, she grinned and said, "Teacher, I'm just talking nonsense."

Li An stared at the car for a moment, and then placed his hand heavily on the car's shoulder.

Then he said word by word: "The teacher will treat you to a big dinner this weekend!"
-
The children said a few words like a fairy tale.
