Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 392
A good theatrical performance has a very magical function, which is to make people forget their troubles and yearn for beauty. This song "My Motherland" can be accepted by people of this era without much modification by Sun Xiangfu, because the lyrics Simple and straightforward, but it can give people a strong sense of imagery. After Du Zhenglun clapped his hands, he used his excitement to dull the glass of wine in front of him. You must know that there is no low-grade wine in the cellar of the Sun Mansion. , Sun Xiangfu was very worried about whether he could talk to him later.

"Master, please leave a comment!"

After singing a song, Yao Hongxiu, who felt good about himself, looked at Sun Xiangfu with some anticipation.

"Well, it's very good, but for the solo part, the chorus should be strengthened, and for the chorus, the momentum should be stronger. When the time comes, the venue for your performance may be in a place that is much more empty than Wangjiang Tower. There will be countless people on the scene. Tens of thousands of people are watching, and if you want them to hear your voice clearly, you must have more people singing along with you, 200 people are not enough, can you increase it to 500 people?"

"If all the apprentice singers are sent, there will be enough people." Yao Hongxiu nodded humbly.

Everything in the past has proved that as long as you follow Sun Xiangfu's requirements, the effect will definitely be better. Who told Sun Xiangfu to hear the original version!
"Send as many people as there are! This kind of big performance is the best way to train people."

"No. Next, I will sing the song "Blue Flower" with a local accent according to your request."

"Well, if you sing this song to make the hearts of the audience drunk, you can sing it to the point of hair."

For Xintianyou in northern Shaanxi, Sun Xiangfu once went there to hold an agricultural academic exchange meeting. He listened to it on the spot and fell in love with it. However, singing these songs requires too many innate conditions. It's about finding someone and showing it.

"The blue line of the blue line, the blue line is a heroic color,
Giving birth to a blue flower, I really love him to death..."

When Yao Hongxiu opened his mouth, Du Zhenglun felt his heart go up in his throat, and his scalp went numb. However, after the first verse was finished, Sun Xiangfu interrupted her with his hand.

"It doesn't feel right, Uncle De, please ask Madam to come down."

After Sun Xiang wrote these songs, he handed them over to Yu Xiuer to help compose the music. After listening to Yu Xiuer's compose, he sang it according to Sun Xiangfu's request, which was the feeling Sun Xiangfu had asked Yao Hongxiu just now.

However, perhaps because of her congenital voice, Yao Hongxiu couldn't express the highlight and desolation of this song. Compared with Yu Xiu'er, who was born with a clear voice, it was more than a star and a half behind.

Soon, Yu Xiu'er, who handed the child to Xi Niang, went down to the hall. At this time, Sun Xiangfu got up from the sofa, took the drumsticks from the drummer, and smiled at Du Zhenglun who had finished the ceremony. Yu Xiuer said.

"Xiu'er, let's join hands as a husband and wife to make a version for them! Add a little festive mood into it."

Hearing this, Yu Xiu'er smiled, walked to Yao Hongxiu's side and patted her hands on her waist, saying, "I haven't been a person who has ever had a biological child. When I sing this song, it is really difficult to substitute emotionally. This is not you." No mistake, listen to me sing it again, try to imitate the feeling I put into it and practice singing!"

Hearing this, Yao Hongxiu nodded with a blushing face, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

Soon, Yu Xiu'er stood still in the middle of the musicians' accompaniment team and began to sing.

"The blue line~ That basketball line, it's a beautiful basket~
Give birth to a blue flower~ I really love it~
······"

Some changes in pronunciation and the addition of ending sounds instantly made the whole song more temperamental. After Sun Xiangfu finished singing the first verse, he started to play the drums. At this time, the musicians also started to move their starting points, following the rhythm of the drums. Driven, much more exciting than the original arrangement, if there is an electric bass and some rock flavors added, then this song will be more than [-]% similar to Erni's version.

"A pair of ducks, a pair of geese.

Lan Huahua'er was looking for her brother on the bank of the river.

Seeing my love brother, I have endless things to say,

The two of us live and die, grow up there.

The two of us are living and dying, let’s grow together there~”

What does it mean to have a broken heart when you open your voice, numbness in your scalp, and a pause in your thinking? Du Zhenglun experienced everything at this moment. Until Yu Xiuer finished singing for a long time, he still maintained a blank movement, a regretful expression that he couldn't bear to end. slowly emerged on his face.

"Okay, the singing is great. Mrs. Jun's singing skills are really unique in my Tang Dynasty. If such a wonderful song cannot be sung in Weinan, it is a pity for all Weinan workers. As the governor of Weinan New City, the old man If you invite Xian and his wife, you must go to Weinan for a performance."

"Hehe, Du Shangshu, didn't you come to ask about the Ministry of Commerce? Why did you forget the business after listening to the two songs?" Sun Xiangfu returned to his seat from the drum set, and said as if he wanted to refuse.

Although Yu Xiu'er is in good health now, the two little ones in the family are still too young to be completely taken care of by the nanny.

"This old man is not joking. This is a serious business for the court. I don't know if I don't know it. Now that I know it, I must do the errand assigned by His Majesty more perfectly."

"Since Du Shangshu said that it was an errand assigned by His Majesty, I really can't refuse it. In this way, our husband and wife will try our best to attend. However, I ask you to take care of this organizational matter. As for the stage, Ma Zhou has already done it. It’s almost done!”

"Well, the old man came from Weinan today, and the stage has been prepared. According to Ma Zhou, one performance is not enough. There are nearly 50 people working there, and ten performances may not be able to satisfy everyone. Workers can see it."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "How are the laborers doing?"

Speaking of this, the smile on Du Zhenglun's face suddenly disappeared, and he said calmly, "The wind on the construction site is like a knife, the water source freezes sooner or later, and the roads are slippery. They have many injuries and illnesses. However, in order to help the court tide over the difficulties, They didn't go home to rest, Ma Zhou is now looking for ways to solve these problems, I just hope that His Majesty can go to Weinan as soon as possible to distribute some warm living supplies to them, this condolence performance..."

"Du Shangshu is here today, maybe he is urging His Majesty and me to go to Weinan earlier!"

"Hehe, there is indeed such a meaning."

"Well, after the court ends tomorrow, I'll go and urge His Majesty!"

"I can't wish for it, so next, let's talk about the Ministry of Commerce!"

"Well, you don't listen to music anymore?"

"Is there any music to listen to?"

"Of course, there are many more! Master Yao's voice is not suitable for singing this song "Blue Flower", but it does not mean that her other songs are not good. Moreover, we have Master Li waiting behind!"

"Listen to the song. Let's listen to the song first, and we'll talk about business later. Anyway, even if it's too late, there should be a guest room in your house for the old man to live in."

Regarding Du Zhenglun's willful personality, Sun Xiangfu really didn't know what to say. It is said that willful people live longer. Du Zhenglun insisted on living until Gaozong's time and became a prime minister. Although there is no way to verify the exact age, but He was a scholar during Kaihuang's reign, that is to say, his age was at least about the same as Wei Zheng's, and he was almost fifty now, so when he died, he was at least 80 or [-] years old.

Sun Xiangfu indicated that the performance would continue, but after that, Yu Xiuer would be the technical director of those artists, and Sun Xiangfu would chat with Du Zhenglun during the intervals of each song. Only then did I know why Yao Hongxiu and Li Xiangdie were worth so much in Chang'an's entertainment industry.

Yao Hongxiu's drama performance ability is stronger, and he sings while acting, with a strong sense of substitution.

Li Xiangdie is better than Yu Xiuer in terms of musical attainments. Her breath is very long, her voice range is very wide, and she is thicker and more stable than Yu Xiuer when she sings high notes. After taking off, he said that today is the time to come, until all the performances and songs were performed, Du Zhenglun also succeeded in getting himself drunk.

Sun Xiangfu had no choice but to let someone carry him to the guest room to rest as he wished, and then he went back to the study to write down some things that the Ministry of Commerce could manage that he could think of, and let him take it back to study later.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Sun Xiangfu began to wash, dress and prepare to go to court. Unexpectedly, Du Zhenglun, who was drunk, also woke up very early, and it happened that the two of them could go to court together in a carriage.

"Sun Dudu's old note is really written in every detail. If I had given it to the old man a few days earlier, my business department would not have been busy for so many days."

Sun Xiangfu said modestly, "It's just some superficial opinions, and you still need to explore slowly to find a suitable implementation plan. By the way, there was something I wanted to talk to you about yesterday, but it was too late, and you passed out. "

Hearing this, Du Zhenglun said with some shame, "It's not an urgent matter! This old man can't drink very well, but he loves what's in this cup. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a deep friendship with Wei Xuan. It's all because of greed for him. But when I was on duty, I didn’t dare to touch a drop of wine. Yesterday, the wine at your house was too good, and after leaving the office, I couldn’t help but drink a few more glasses. I didn’t want to get up this morning. I feel refreshed, and I don’t have the feeling of splitting headache after getting drunk in the past.”

"Hehe, although the baijiu in my cellar is strong, when you get drunk, all of it will be evaporated after a night's sleep, making you feel refreshed. You can't buy such good wine outside with money.

By the way, the imperial court has always controlled wine making, but next year, it can be fully relaxed. Your business department can operate, issue more licenses for wine brewing, and increase more income for the imperial court. "

Hearing this, Du Zhenglun was a little puzzled and said, "Wine making costs a lot of food, why does Zhengming encourage folk wine making?"

"This is also about the purpose of the macro-control that your Ministry of Commerce needs to do, because from next year, there may be too much grain produced in Datang, and it will be a waste to feed pigs by then. If it is used for wine making, it can be sold at a higher price to maximize its value."

"I see. The old man finally knows a little bit about this macro-control. By the way, what did you say about the art troupe yesterday? What exactly is it?"

"It is an organization that uses various forms of performances such as songs, dances, and dramas to promote national policies, encourage military morale, and relieve people's psychological pressure. The reform of Taile Temple can at least set up an art troupe of this nature among its subordinates to help the country better complete various propaganda work."

In later generations, there will be a special department for cultural education and publicity. However, it is not suitable for Datang to have so many departments. They are all assigned to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is now in charge of Yu Shinan, with Sun Xiangfu communicating with him. , this matter is not difficult to do.

"Well, this should indeed be, and the old man will also second it at that time."

"What I'm waiting for is your words. If this matter can be implemented before the mission's departure, it will have a greater effect."

Du Zhenglun nodded and smiled, "I don't know what the effect will be, but if there are such music and songs on the construction site in Weinan every day, even if I stay on the construction site every day, I won't feel bored. I'm afraid that when the workers are working Will be absent-minded."

Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "You are telling the truth. These top artists have all gone to the construction site to perform. Wangjiang Tower is still making money. However, you don't have to worry about the workers being absent-minded. They want to watch the show. Yes, if you complete the work quota as soon as possible, you will be able to finish work early to watch the show, arrange the daily cultural performances to start at the time when work is almost finished, and the effect will definitely be very good."

"Hahaha, it is obvious that this plan is too bad, but the effect must be good."
