Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 133: A cultural performance from scratch
Lin Heng looked worried.

I've been thinking about it all day, but still can't come up with any suitable words.

When it comes down to composing and arranging music, I have no experience at all, my mind is empty, and I have no idea what is "appropriate" at all.

Even in his favorite political science class, he was always lost in thought.

Li Yan was also lost in thought, wondering what would happen if his story of being the toilet god of war spread.

However, Bai Xiaosheng took the initiative to talk to him today about the "four gym students fighting in the toilet". If even he didn't know about it... then the four people who were beaten up naturally had no reason to spread the truth. It can only be said that Wang Hang's ability to manage his "subordinates" is not bad.

He has some moral integrity and does a good job of keeping secrets.

This way he doesn't have to worry about his mother pulling him aside and scolding him after the parent-teacher meeting.

After finishing dinner, sitting on his bed in the dormitory, he still couldn't fart - there was only one night study session left before the deadline set by Li Yan.

Seeing Li Ruofei's excitement, he must have an idea, which made Lin Heng even more anxious.

Li Yan saw through Lin Heng's mood and said, "Don't worry about how to sing it for now. Just talk about your favorite lyrics first and imagine how to perform it."

Li Ruofei couldn't sit still any longer. With Liang Tiancheng and Zhu Qinglun listening with interest - Chen Fan had gone to take a shower - he excitedly stated his choice:

"Man Jiang Hong!"

Li Yan frowned immediately.

"My hair stood on end with anger, I leaned against the railing..."

"This is not a recitation competition, Mr. Ruofei." Zhu Qinglun inexplicably played the role of controlling the situation.

"Oh, I really like this poem. It is majestic, generous and heroic, and it also has a 'murderous aura' that is rarely seen in poetry! The theme is also very good. You can use the military drums of ancient wars and beat them heavily. Then find some people on the stage, wearing armor and holding military flags high, fluttering in the wind. It's so majestic..."

"Uh, Ruofei," Li Yan interrupted, "We still need to consider the feasibility."

"Ah...yes, but this is really exciting!"

"Man Jiang Hong, there seems to be a saying that it is not Yue Fei's poem." Zhu Qinglun suddenly turned from a controller to a disruptor of order.

"Indeed, but there is no conclusion in the academic community yet." Li Ruofei immediately followed up.

"The main reason for believing that it was not written by Yue Fei is that Yue Ke's Jin Tuo Lu Bian and E Wang Jia Pu did not include this poem "Man Jiang Hong", and before Zhao Kuan wrote the "Man Jiang Hong" stele in the 1502th year of Hongzhi (), this poem had never been popular in the world."

Li Yan also said something.

"Fuck, are you so awesome?" Lin Heng sighed.

"I checked it now." Li Yan was speechless, "Is it time to discuss this issue now?"

"My question, my question," Zhu Qinglun returned to control the situation, "Lin Heng, do you have any choice of words?"

"Let me give you some advice first," Li Yan interrupted Lin Heng's constipated expression, "Our sound and on-site equipment conditions, including the theme of 'traditional culture', have actually put some restrictions on us. I think that between the bold and the graceful, we should choose the graceful."

"Well, I agree. We don't have the conditions to sing bold songs."

"Why?" Liang Tiancheng asked in a low voice.

"Guess why they sing 'Change Yourself' instead of 'The River Flows Eastward' in music class ~ Our voices haven't changed yet, and now they all have heavenly sounds." Zhu Qinglun replied, although his own voice is quite mature.

"It is also said that "Water Margin" was written by Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong together." Li Ruofei said.

"It was written by Shi Nai'an and edited by Luo Guanzhong, that should be it." Lin Heng continued.

It's really terrible when these people's minds diverge...

"Ok?"

"I'm wrong, Ayan, I'm wrong." Li Ruofei bowed repeatedly, "Choose your words, choose your words."

"The graceful style..." Lin Heng nodded, "How much sorrow can one have... Since ancient times, sentimental people have been sad about separation... So sad and miserable..."

"Will singing this... not make you feel good emotionally?" Liang Tiancheng interrupted, "I think it might be better to have a more positive mood."

"Mr. Liang, we are just a junior high school performance, so we don't need to worry about those things, right?" Zhu Qinglun was a little unhappy.

"The standards are very high this year," Liang Tiancheng said without getting annoyed. "Although it is still hosted by New Taipei First High School, two other schools in Rongxi District will also have a performance. I heard that some bigwigs with high status will be invited. This time, you can't just sign up for a performance and you can get on. There will be a preliminary stage selection."

"Which three?" Lin Heng asked. "Our neighboring Experimental Middle School, Rongxi Middle School."

"Rongxi Middle School?" Li Yan suddenly interrupted, "How is this school?"

"It's not bad, but the local enrollment requirements are too loose. I heard that there are many uneducated young men. However, the level of the experimental class is very high, and the enrollment requirements for the outer districts are also very strict. It's very strange." Liang Tiancheng explained, "It can be regarded as a local aristocratic school."

“I heard that a lot of people have invested a lot of money in it.” Lin Heng added, “Rongxi indigenous version of the New Taipei experiment.”

Learning piano... Is Wei Yunzhi really a rich woman? But she doesn't live in Rongxi District, but Xinqiao District, which means she is most likely enrolled in another district. Is she a top student?

Either a rich woman or a top student, a good choice.

"Mr. Yan, you have gone off topic." Zhu Qinglun seized the opportunity and was very proud.

"I think what Liang Ban said makes sense. I'd like to choose a poem from Wang Guowei's 'Words on Human Life', one of the three realms of life: 'Looking back suddenly, that person is there, where the lights are dim.'" Li Yan immediately brought the topic back.

"Xin Qiji."

"The Jade Case: Lantern Festival."

My roommates are also very familiar with me.

"It is indeed quite good. It is not a grand narrative, and its intention and content are even a bit subtle. But the author is Xin Qiji after all, and his writing style is grand, with a subtle sense of tenderness written with a broad brush." ​​Li Ruofei nodded in agreement.

Lin Heng didn't have many opinions in the first place. As long as the content was finalized, it would be easy to start this project that made him feel unsure.

Moreover, this poem is an excellent choice in terms of its popularity, beauty and lingering charm.

The more positive emotions also diluted Liang Ban's concerns. He thought that one should not be picky if there were no better options.

Li Yan was about to discuss it, but was speechless when she saw that her casual suggestion was passed unanimously.

"Then... composing music?" Lin Heng asked without any confidence.

"Let's find some references first and decide on the style and atmosphere of the music. It's time to go to night self-study." Li Yan said as he got out of bed and packed his books.

"Eh? Aren't you going to badminton practice tonight?"

"The strongest ones have gone to training camp. You won't improve much by playing with others. It's better to learn."

The main thing is that I have made a breakthrough in mathematics, and now my brain is very hungry. As for badminton, my body is not up yet and the practice is too slow, so I might as well take a break.

Li’s main focus is efficiency.

During this night study session, Lin Heng's mind was filled with melodies and he couldn't concentrate on learning anything.

Even Li Ruofei was writing down the classic poems on paper, he was completely intrigued.

They all thought that Li Yan, who was writing furiously, was also working hard for the show, and their motivation suddenly became stronger.

As a result, when they went over to take a look during the break, they found that this guy was actually solving a math problem.

Li Yan randomly took out two music-related books from the drawer and said, "I'm tired of reading. Let's do some math problems to relax our brain."

"Is this human language?" Li Ruofei was not really good at math, so he spoke sincerely.

"Is this kind of book really useful to read now?" Lin Heng expressed his doubt.

"Have."

Of course I have. I have studied it sporadically during this period and my music theory skills have reached 37 points.

Not long ago, I was just a person who knew nothing but singing.

"Okay, I believe you." Lin Heng nodded, "But seriously, Yan, even though I've seen how fast you learn things... we only have one month left before the official performance, and we even have a rehearsal before that."

"One month..." Li Yan pondered.

Sure enough, even for you, starting from scratch in one month is still very difficult, right? Although there is no problem with singing, there are too many things to do, discuss, and deepen in every step, including choosing lyrics, composing, arranging, instruments, performance format, rehearsal, etc., not to mention that there are many skills that are simply not enough now.

"It's quite adequate."
