Chapter 471 God! Is this China’s musical heritage? !
Because the Internet is not connected, Chinese netizens rarely know about these international discussions.
It saves a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, given the temperament of these netizens, it would be shocking to hear European and American netizens say that China has no music heritage.
However, there are still many netizens who know how to circumvent the firewall. After seeing the comments on external websites, they all became very angry, but they had no choice but to do anything.
What else can be done?
Argue?
Just one sentence from European and American netizens, "Since you have such a profound musical inheritance, why is it completely blank internationally?" can make Chinese netizens feel ashamed.
So everyone can only silently pray that Wang Mo can show off his power in the final round of the competition and let these arrogant guys experience Chinese music.
"Mad, I'm so angry."
"Brother Mo, we must let those who have never seen the world see our Chinese musical instruments."
"There are hundreds of kinds of musical instruments in China. How can they be compared to just a few Western instruments?"
“It’s really putting the cart before the horse.”
"I also saw someone saying that the music inheritance of Fuso Country is much better than ours. I was so angry that I almost became depressed."
"Fuck! Where are you? I can tolerate other taunts, but I really can't stand this one!"
"..."
Of course, even Chinese netizens who have full confidence in Wang Mo still have doubts about whether China can finally get the title of "Hometown of Music".
It’s not that I doubt Wang Mo’s level.
It’s not that I doubt the heritage of Chinese musical instruments.
Instead, I believe that Chinese ethnic orchestras naturally suffer from large-scale performances.
For example: large orchestras in Europe and the United States can play orchestral music, symphonies and other large-scale music. And Chinese classical musical instruments are almost all played solo, so how can they perform in large-scale scenes?
No!
However, in the last national music inheritance competition, the performance scores of large teams accounted for a high proportion, accounting for almost half of the weight.
Therefore, even though the Chinese musical instruments and music heritage are rich enough, without the performance of a large orchestra, I am afraid the final score will still not be too high.
what to do?
The Chinese people don't know and can only pray that Wang Mo can come up with a good way to make up for this shortcoming.
…
finally.
When three days passed, the International Music Hall Night started again.
This is the last part of this music festival, so it attracts the most attention.
After all, any participating country knows its key point: whoever can achieve the best results in this round will have a high probability of winning the title of "Music City".
Especially after China ceased to be a threat, the competitiveness of other countries became even more intense.
On the Internet, there has been a quarrel for a long time.
A netizen from the beautiful country: “As the host country, the hometown of music plays its part this time.”
Australian netizen: "We were the best in the last competition, and the same is true in this competition."
Austrian netizen: "Without Master Wang Mo, who can compete with us in Austria?"
Fuso netizen: "Master Aida, Master Aida? What's wrong with you?"
At this moment, the Chinese music delegation, which was entering the scene by car, was full of high morale.
If a reporter takes a picture of the members in the car, they will definitely be surprised to find that these people are not the same team as the members who played "Lakisid March" and "Symphony of Destiny" before, but a different group of people.
And they are the Chinese national orchestra.
These young people, whose average age is only around thirty years old, are all bright-eyed and high-spirited.
At the front of the car, Wang Mo and Zhao Shu were sitting side by side.
Wang Mo praised: "Everyone is in good spirits."
Zhao Shu smiled and said: "It's all the confidence you gave that made them so confident. But...except for ourselves, the outside world doesn't seem to think highly of us, right?"
"normal."
Wang Mo said calmly: "It would be strange if they were optimistic about us. After all, in the past many years, our Chinese music team has never demonstrated our music heritage internationally."
Zhao Shu smiled bitterly: "It's not that I didn't show it, it's that I didn't have the opportunity to show it."
If there is an opportunity, can China not seize the opportunity?
No chance at all!
Because according to the rules of the competition, only those who meet at least two of the first three conditions are eligible to participate in the final round of the competition.
In China's previous games, not to mention meeting two conditions, it could not do either.
There is no music master.
Unable to get first place in a single game.
There is no way to enter the top ten of the golden music chart.
Neither can be done.
Sighing, Zhao Shu continued: "Because of this, most netizens in the world know nothing about China's music inheritance. They think that we have no music inheritance at all, and some even know little about China. Some people think that much of China’s music heritage was copied from Fusang Kingdom. When I saw these words, I was really speechless.”
Wang Mo looked at the sadness in Zhao Shu's eyes and knew that he had suffered too much ridicule and ridicule in this regard before.
There was silence for a while.
Wang Mocai said seriously: "Mr. Zhao, everything will be fine."
"Um."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu suppressed his worries and a smile appeared on his face: "You are right, everything will be fine."
boom!
The next moment, the vehicle was seen entering the street of Broadway.
Even through the car window, the mountains of cheers and screams outside still reached his ears.
"Ahh! It's a delegation from China!"
"Master Wang Mo!"
"Brother Mo!"
“I met Huaxia’s music team, I’m so excited!!!”
"..."
On both sides of the street, whether they were Chinese or European and American people, they all burst into loud cheers when they saw their arrival.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Shu's eyes suddenly became wet.
He still clearly remembered the deserted look when the Chinese delegation entered Broadway for the first time more than ten days ago.
And in just half a month, there have been earth-shaking changes.
Zhao Shu withdrew his gaze and looked at Wang Mo next to him, still filled with emotion in his heart.
All these changes are because this child, who is only in his twenties, is too dreamy.
But Zhao Shu knew that bigger changes were yet to come!
He believes that after the Chinese music competition ends in a few days, their Chinese music delegation will receive even warmer cheers and applause.
In the midst of my thoughts, the Metropolitan Opera arrived.
…
eight pm,
The final round of music competition officially begins.
A host in a suit walked onto the stage with a smile and briefly explained the rules: "The next nine days will be the last exchange competition of our International Music Hall Night. It is crucial and determines the final outcome." Home of Music'. And the time distribution of these nine days is as follows.
The first day will be a time for each country to showcase its musical heritage.
In the next eight days, eight countries that are qualified to participate in the exchange competition will showcase their country's musical heritage. Each country gets a day to perform.
In the end, judges and music lovers around the world will decide the winner of this year’s ‘Music Home’. "
“The land of music!”
“The land of music!”
"..."
As soon as the host finished speaking, a huge shout erupted from the scene.
Wang Mo also smiled and applauded in the audience.
He already knew the rules.
There will be no competition tonight, but countries that are qualified to participate in the final round of competition will show off their musical and cultural heritage in batches.
To put it bluntly, it is to show the musical instruments of one's own country and say how rich their historical heritage and profound historical culture are in their own country.
And this time is particularly interesting.
As we all know, in European and American countries, pianos, violins, various orchestral instruments, etc. are basically the same, and many Western countries use them all in the same way.
And once it is used, it lasts for thousands of years.
Therefore, every music hall night, when this stage comes, countries such as England, Austria, and Italy will argue over the ownership of musical instruments.
Did you invent the piano in Italy? Sorry, we Yingjili also contributed and we improved it.
Did you also invent the violin in Italy? Are you sorry? Without us Yingjili, the trombone would have disappeared long ago.
Is the organ your traditional musical instrument? Have you asked me if my country is beautiful?
Anyway, no one is convinced by anyone, so every time when countries display their own musical instruments, these countries simply display all the Western musical instruments they can.
Such as this time.
There are eight countries in the world that have entered the final round of competition. In addition to the six major music kingdoms, they also include Yingjili and Huaxia.
And when the host announced that he would start to show the music heritage.
Delegations from eight countries will display their country’s traditional musical instruments on the stage in batches for everyone around the world to appreciate and understand the country’s musical heritage.
Soon, the process begins.
The order of the eight national exhibitions is: Australia, Germany, Austria, England, Italy, the United States, Fuso, and China.
Except for Fusang and Huaxia, the music played by the other six countries is almost the same, there is no difference.
Are you moving the piano? I also move the piano.
You take the violin? I also play the violin.
Netizens also burst out laughing when they saw this scene.
"You are so shameless."
"Are these six countries copied and pasted?"
"Hahaha, you can just change it a little bit."
"Actually, Italy has the deepest inheritance. After all, the two musical instruments, the piano and the violin, were invented in Italy."
"What's the use of inventions? Whoever has made the greatest contribution to this instrument is the most qualified to pass it on. We Yingjili have carried forward the piano and violin, so we are the most qualified."
"Fuck your shit!"
"..."
have to!
Netizens also started arguing.
But everyone is used to it, and this kind of noise usually happens every four years.
finally.
After the exhibition in six countries, it was the turn of Fuso Country.
There are still many traditional musical instruments in Fuso.
Soon, a group of staff moved out a series of large and small pieces of music from the backstage.
There are: shamisen, shakuhachi, taiko, snare drum, bow, thirteen-string guzheng, five-string pipa, seventeen-string harp, guiyue... and dozens more.
International netizens were greatly impressed when they saw these rarely seen musical instruments.
"I have to say that Fuso has a profound foundation."
"That's true. It's much better than the six shameless countries just now."
“Although I don’t know much about these instruments, they all look good.”
"Fuso Country has a really profound musical heritage."
“It’s a different musical heritage and very different from Western instruments, which is great!”
"It's a pity that they didn't get the 'Land of Music'."
"I guess it's almost done this time."
"..."
Only the Chinese netizens who were watching the live broadcast were so angry that they smashed their computers after seeing these musical instruments.
Without it.
In fact, these musical instruments are all too familiar to the Chinese people.
"Made, you are so shameless."
"These are the musical instruments of your Fuso Kingdom? Who said that? If you stand up, labor and management won't give you a slap in the face!"
"When did all my Chinese musical instruments become yours?"
"Grass!"
Many were furious.
What shamisen? Isn't it just that China's Sanxian has been slightly modified? !
What shakuhachi? Isn’t it the Chinese Qiang flute? !
As for the thirteen-string guzheng and five-string pipa, they are completely Chinese guzheng and pipa with a slight change in appearance. Some instruments even did not change their appearance, and were put on display by Fuso in a majestic manner!
Shameless!
absurd!
Even Wang Mo narrowed his eyes.
However, Zhao Shu seemed to have been used to this kind of scene for a long time, and his expression remained calm.
Soon, Fuso Country’s musical instrument display came to an end.
Finally it was China's turn.
After disparaging Fuso Country's profound musical heritage, many European and American netizens immediately started talking about it.
"How many traditional musical instruments can China have?"
"It is estimated to be far inferior to Fuso Country."
"It's definitely not as good, otherwise how could I have never heard of it."
"That's right. If China hadn't produced Wang Mo this time, who would have known that they would still have music heritage?"
"Now China is going to be embarrassed. It is such a big country, but its musical inheritance is not even comparable to that of a small country like Fusang."
"..."
Even at the scene, many celebrities frowned, feeling that something was going to happen to China.
However.
The next second.
Uh-huh!
Everyone's eyes converged, and then countless exclamations rang out.
"my God!"
"This is?"
"so many people?"
"Isn't it?"
I saw a large group of staff pouring into the huge stage. Each staff member was holding, carrying, holding, resisting... using various movements to take out pieces from the backstage. Unseen musical instruments.
Guzheng, guqin, pipa, flute, erhu, long flute...
At first, many people were surprised why so many musical instruments looked so similar to Fuso?
Some European and American netizens are even questioning it.
"Are these musical instruments copied from the Fuso Kingdom?"
"Yeah, it looks so similar."
"Isn't it? So shameless?"
"Can Fuso, that petty country, endure it?"
However, what makes European and American netizens strange is this. The Fusang netizens who used to be very good at jumping around seemed to have lost their voices one by one this time when faced with the musical instruments brought out by Huaxia that were very similar to them, without even a single quarrel.
"it's wired?"
"what happened?"
However, the strangeness in the hearts of European and American netizens did not last long, as they were attracted by the scene on the stage.
Because they discovered that staff members were still coming out from behind the stage.
Erhu, xun, panpipe, sheng, drum, harp, konghou...
At the beginning, when only a dozen instruments were taken out by the staff, everyone remained calm.
But gradually, when the number of these musical instruments exceeded that of Fuso Kingdom and reached twenty or thirty pieces, there were many exclamations on the scene, and the netizens who were watching the live broadcast also widened their eyes.
"Why so many?"
"Oh my gosh, are these almost thirty items?"
"How come China has so many traditional musical instruments?"
"Really or not? More than Fuso Country?"
"Incredible!"
However, an even more shocking scene appeared.
After taking out the instruments, these staff members walked to the rows of shelves one by one and began to sort and place them.
Someone had posted on a row of shelves: Wind instruments.
Someone posted on the second row of shelves: plucked instruments.
Someone went to the third row and posted: Percussion.
Someone went to the fourth row and posted: stringed instrument.
At this time, a huge noise finally erupted from the scene, and more and more people were shocked and their scalps were numb.
Because even all the Western musical instruments in the past only add up to forty or fifty pieces. They have been placed on the stage casually by several countries. Where is the need to classify them?
But now, Chinese musical instruments still need to be classified?
How many are there? !
God!
Soon they learned that everything was gone.
First up are the wind instruments.
Rows of staff came to this shelf and began to place things on it: flutes, flutes, panpipes, xuns, shengs, reeds, bawu, pipes, suonas...
Even just flutes, there are a lot of classifications such as bent flute, bang flute, fixed-tone flute, keyed flute, jade screen flute, seven-hole flute, eleven-hole flute... everyone was dumbfounded.
The second is plucked instruments.
More!
Zheng, guqin, harp, pipa, ruan, yueqin, sanxian, liuqin...and every piece of music is simple and elegant, large in size, and soon takes up half of the stage.
How big is the stage at the Metropolitan Opera?
More than three hundred square meters!
However, at this moment, just Chinese plucked instruments occupied more than a hundred square meters. It exceeds the sum of all Western musical instruments combined!
Many people have already been stunned.
Even his consciousness became blank, and he couldn't believe that what he saw was real.
"Oh, God!"
"Are these musical instruments? Are they all traditional Chinese musical instruments?"
"Just one small category that exceeds the number of all Western musical instruments combined?"
"this……"
After placing the plucked instruments, we finally came to the percussion instruments.
Just now, many people were praising the beauty of Fuso Kingdom's taiko and snare drums. However, now that they saw a series of drum types such as Chinese Tanggu, Bronze Drum, Cylinder Drum, Snare Drum, Paigu, etc. being brought out, all their eyelids jumped.
But soon, everyone was attracted by other types.
Yangqin, bells, gongs, cymbals, allegro... and each category has many subcategories.
Everyone who saw it was dazzled.
Even many Chinese netizens have dull eyes, because even these people who were born and raised in China have never seen such a spectacular scene.
So even the Chinese audience exclaimed.
"We have so many instruments?"
"Damn! Even I don't know."
"What's that? What's that?"
"Well...it feels like the native me has become a person who has never seen the world."
But they didn't expect that the real shock was yet to come.
Just when everyone thought that the types and scale of percussion instruments on the stage were shocking enough.
I saw a row of staff carefully pushing a whole row of shelves over from behind the scenes, with dozens of bronzes from large to small hanging on the shelves!
boom!
When seeing this scene, even the calmest Chinese audience exclaimed in surprise.
"Fuck!"
"chimes?"
"Is this our China's national treasure-level cultural relic chime?"
"Let me tell you, have all these things been moved out?"
Off stage.
Even many members of the Chinese delegation almost had their eyes bulging out when they saw a whole row of chimes.
As for Wang Mo, although he had known about this for a long time, his heart was still tumbling when he saw them appearing on the stage.
Next to him, a member asked Zhao Shu in an incredible tone: "Teacher Zhao, this... this... did we really get all the chimes?"
Zhao Shu smiled slightly and said, "It's a replica. The truly unearthed bell from the Warring States Period is China's most important national treasure. How can it be displayed abroad?"
After hearing Zhao Shu's words, these members breathed a sigh of relief.
But even so, their blood still surged when they saw the chime occupying almost dozens of square meters on the stage.
The set of chime bells in front of you is a replica of the chime bells unearthed from the tomb of a marquis during the Warring States Period. It consists of 19 button bells, 45 Yong bells and a large chime bell, a total of 65 pieces. It is divided into three layers and hung on the bell frame. The total mass is up to 2.5 tons!
Looking around the world, no musical instrument can compare with it in terms of vastness, magnificence and solemnity.
So when they appeared, they instantly caused a huge uproar at the scene.
Even masters such as Simon and Romando couldn't help but take a breath when they saw the chime bell. The hugeness and magnificence of the chime bell, its sense of historical weight and the majesty it emanated from the invisible, all shocked them hard. mind.
Several people looked at each other, their pupils trembling.
"There are such musical instruments!"
"This... such a shocking prop can actually become a musical instrument?"
"Is it real?"
"This feeling of oppression is too strong."
"Are they really musical instruments? Oh my god."
And many ordinary European and American netizens even swallowed subconsciously.
In fact, let alone seeing it in their lifetime, they could not even imagine that there was such a huge musical instrument in the world. Its size and pressure were enough to attract people's attention.
This time, Huaxia Music officials also made a strong determination. In order to shock everyone at this music festival, almost the entire Huaxia family was moved out. Otherwise, although this set of chimes is a replica, it is still a rare treasure of China and will not easily go abroad.
I don’t know how long it took before many people came back to their senses.
Because on the stage, many staff are still moving out various musical instruments.
See the unseen.
Unheard of.
Stringed instruments also come in countless types and styles.
Erhu, Banhu, Jinghu, Yehu, Gehu, Tianqin, Xiqin, Matouqin...
God knows how the audience watched the whole thing.
When the first seven countries showed off their musical heritage, Fuso Country took the longest time, but it only took more than ten minutes.
However, Huaxia spent more than three hours!
From front to back, there were hundreds of staff involved!
As for the types of musical instruments, there are hundreds of them!
It can be said that the total of all the types of musical instruments in the previous seven countries is not even as good as the fraction of the musical instruments displayed by China.
When the last staff member came on stage and placed the last instrument.
on site.
worldwide.
Hundreds of millions of spectators were speechless as they looked at the hundreds of square meters of stage that had been occupied by a variety of musical instruments. (End of chapter)
