LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 476 China! The home of music!
But Wang Mo was in a state of shock.
story?
He suddenly felt a little excited, because when he took out "Yungong Xunyin", although he knew that it was the theme song of "Journey to the West", he still didn't associate it with the story of "Journey to the West" in his heart.
It's like I eat rice every day but never think deeply about where the rice comes from.
Because it is a kind of nature engraved in the soul.
But at this moment, when he heard someone mention the story related to "Yun Gong Xun Yin", the epic mythological masterpiece "Journey to the West" instantly appeared in his mind.
One of the four great Chinese masterpieces on earth!
An eternal masterpiece!
Thinking of this, even Wang Mo couldn't restrain the violent beating in his heart.
Because Blue Star does not have this work.
Thinking of the greatness and vastness of "Journey to the West", Wang Mo felt that every cell in his body was trembling.
Can you stop trembling?
Monkey King!
Jade Emperor!
One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals.
Gods and Buddhas.
Nine-nine-eighty-one is difficult.
Every character, every picture, every story is all familiar content.
Its classic, Wang Mo can hardly describe it in words.
Although many people think that "Journey to the West" is a mythological story with a strong oriental flavor, it is difficult to be recognized by Western people who have a unique heritage of Western mythology.
But the same sentence remains: the publicity is not in place!
In fact, in the West, a large part of the people are still very curious about China's heritage. Just like this music festival, they have a strong interest in Chinese music. If they had the opportunity to come into contact with Chinese myths and stories, Wang Mo was sure that these Western people would also like them.
"Harry Potter" can be popular in China.
Why is "Journey to the West" not popular in the West?
In Wang Mo's view, in terms of characters, plots, and legends, none of the ten "Harry Potter" films can compare to "Journey to the West."
so……
Wang Mo's heart began to pound.
"Why don't we publish "Journey to the West"?"
He thought to himself.
In fact, in the past life, with the development of the Internet, it was also proved to a certain extent that the West also accepted Chinese mythology, and even the degree of acceptance was not as high as usual.
A specific example is the game "Black Myth Wukong".
This Chinese mythological game adapted from "Journey to the West" has emerged in the European and American world in a short period of time, shocking many European and American game players.
Is there such a myth?
Is there such a character?
Obviously, they were all shocked when they came into contact with the Oriental Mythical Game for the first time. The mythical characters, various shapes and magical powers inside all exceeded their imagination.
Since the game can work, there is a high probability that the work will also work.
If it doesn't work, Wang Mo will have to find a way to forcefully clear it.
After all, this is a good opportunity to promote Chinese mythology and should not be missed.
As long as China's mythological inheritance is promoted in the West, the value of just the IP of "Journey to the West" will be far more than 10 billion!
It’s not impossible to build a business empire just by relying on it!
When Wang Mo's heart was ups and downs.
In the audience, Wang Mo didn't respond for a long time.
The noise rose.
"Isn't it? Is there no story?"
"It would be a shame if there was no story."
"Yeah, it's such a good piece of music, but it doesn't have a story to carry the background. It's a pity."
"..."
While everyone was talking about it.
Wang Mo finally spoke.
His eyes were bright and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "Who said there are no stories?"
have?
Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.
"Is there really a story?"
"We want to listen."
"Hurry up and tell me what kind of story is behind "Yun Gong Xun Yin"!"
“The music is so passionate and the story must be great.”
"..."
Amidst the noise, Wang Mo smiled and said: "It's just that the story behind it is very long, and I can't tell it here."
Some people don’t believe it: “How long can a story be?”
Wang Mo: “I can’t finish talking in three days and three nights.”
This time, everyone was shocked.
The man continued to ask: "Does this mean that there is a long story behind "Yungong Xunyin"?"
Wang Mo smiled slightly: "Yes, this time's music heritage performance is to perform the music heritage of the country. In my opinion, it is not enough to perform with local musical instruments. The music must also conform to the local characteristics..."
The man immediately reacted: "I understand! So Mr. Xilou composed a long story with strong Chinese characteristics, and then Master Wang Mo, you composed a piece of music based on this story?"
Hey!
was answered.
Wang Mo smiled slightly and nodded.
The man was excited: "Then what is the name of this long story? Since you can't finish it on stage, can we buy related books?"
Hey!
Not only did this man rush to answer, but he also talked about it.
In this way, even if I didn't do any publicity, it still aroused the interest of European and American netizens.
Wang Mo smiled again: "This story, it's called "Journey to the West", is a legend about Chinese mythology. But Xilou hasn't published it yet, so you haven't seen it yet. But I can reveal some information. . Just like one of the protagonists in it, he is called 'Monkey King, the Monkey King'. Xilou used this poem to describe it:
The golden armor shines brightly in Kyushu, and the ghosts and gods are sad under the golden hoop.
Unrivaled in the world, he showed his skills in subduing demons and demons.
The eyes of fire see through all kinds of schemes, and the cloud body changes in all kinds of ways.
The power of the Great Holy God shook the world, and all demons and monsters bowed their heads. "
Wang Mo read the poem in Chinese.
However, he then translated it again in English. Although the artistic conception was much worse after the English translation, it still aroused exclamations of exclamation.
"Monkey King? Oh, this name is too domineering!"
"What kind of person can be equal to the sky?"
"Oh my god, every line of this poem makes my blood boil."
"Golden Armor Shining Kyushu? What is the Golden Cudgel?"
"What are the fire eyes?"
"There are also thousands of transformations? Does this mean that he will transform into thousands of ways?"
Especially Chinese netizens were stunned.
As native Chinese, of course they are very familiar with China's prehistoric myths. Although Blue Star does not have "The Book of Mountains and Seas", there are many similar ancient myths.
Here is the Jade Emperor, the Three Pure Ones, and the Bodhi Patriarch.
But the more this happens, the more everyone can appreciate the impact of the four words "Monkey King", and the more they can feel the shock from the prehistoric times in Wang Mo's poem.
"Damn it, these few words have made my blood boil."
"Xilou also wrote fairy tales? Why didn't he publish them?"
"Xi Lou! You bastard, don't let your appetite down."
"What kind of person is the Monkey King?"
"Is the Golden Cudgel a weapon? It sounds domineering."
"Hurry up and publish it, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"..."
Wang Mo just whetted his appetite and walked off the stage.
As soon as he returned to his seat, Zhao Shu looked over: "Xiao Wang, is there really a story like "Journey to the West"?"
Wang Mo nodded: "Yes."
Zhao Shu: “What subject matter?”
Wang Mo: "A novel about the Chinese mythology system."
Zhao Shu was even more shocked: "I thought you had made up what you just said, but I didn't expect it to be true. So, when you were writing "Yun Gong Xun Yin", you created this story? Did you tell me this earlier? Are you planning to bundle Chinese music and literature and promote them internationally?"
"Ahem...this."
Wang Mo looked a little embarrassed.
How could he think so deeply?
When he took out "Yungong Xunyin", he simply thought that it was the most suitable for playing large-scale Chinese classical instruments. Even if someone hadn't mentioned the story just now, he would have subconsciously ignored the story of "Journey to the West".
I was just trying to make up a random reason.
Zhao Shu nodded: "I understand, Xiao Wang, I admire you..."
? ? ?
Wang Mo swallowed.
Brother, what do you understand?
I don't even understand it myself.
Zhao Shu, however, kept to himself and continued: "I didn't expect that at this music festival, you would not only promote China's music heritage, but also prepare to take China's mythological civilization system out. If the Western people can come into contact with it, If you understand Chinese mythology and the history of our beliefs, your acceptance of Chinese culture will definitely be greatly improved. This move of yours is wonderful."
"Ahem, yes..."
Wang Mo forced a smile.
He thought to himself: Lao Zhao is also very capable of brainstorming, isn't he?
So he had better keep his mouth shut, lest the more he explains, the more unclear he becomes.
Zhao Shu did not ask in detail for the time being, because there was still one most important moment at this moment: after Huaxia performed "Yungong Xunyin", the performance about the inheritance of Huaxia music came to an end.
On the Golden Sound List.
Almost only for a short time.
"Butterfly Lovers", "Mountains and Flowing Waters", and "Yun Gong Xun Yin" have rushed to the charts. Looking at this momentum, it is only a matter of time before they break into the top ten of the weekly charts.
This is a qualitative leap for Chinese music in the world.
In the past, although many pure music composed by Wang Mo, such as "Destiny" and "Canon", have dominated the golden music charts, these music are still Western-style in the eyes of everyone.
But the pieces of music this time, from the story to the music, from the instruments to the performers, are completely Chinese style from head to toe.
Pure Chinese-style music has appeared on the international charts for the first time!
Chinese netizens are excited.
"Who said our Chinese music has no international market?"
"Brother Mo created a miracle."
"It turns out that Chinese music is no worse than Western music."
"I'm so excited. When we were trying to circumvent the Chinese wall, many Western netizens criticized us for not having a musical heritage and for not being popular. I wonder who will dare to say such things in the future! I can't kill them!"
"..."
Of course, in addition to some netizens who are excited, there are also a large number of netizens who are enthusiastically discussing another matter.
That was the last story Wang Mo told.
"Is there really a supporting story for "Yungong Xunyin"? Or is it a long myth?"
"From what Master Wang Mo means, it must be true. And it was created by Xilou."
"I'm really looking forward to it, because I have never known what Chinese mythology is like."
"The Monkey King...when I hear this name, I get inexplicably hot-blooded."
"But Xilou doesn't seem to be good at literary creation? After all, he is just a fairy tale writer. Can he write such a long literary work?"
"Although mythological works also have the color of fairy tales to a certain extent, the literary nature is completely different. I have never heard of any fairy tale writer who became a litterateur."
"I guess Wang Mo is talking big words. I will definitely take a good look at "Journey to the West" when Xilou publishes it."
"Me too. I'll know what the story Xi Lou writes will be like at a glance."
"..."
After all, Xilou has a good reputation internationally.
As the most dazzling new fairy tale king, his works have now been widely circulated around the world.
But when I heard that Xilou had written a Chinese mythology work, I still didn't believe it. People who believe it also believe that this work may only be considered average and cannot be compared with literary works at all.
This is normal.
Because even the stories of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai and Boya and Ziqi do not have much literary quality. They can only be regarded as folk tales.
On the contrary, Chinese netizens are full of expectations for Xilou’s works.
After all, they have long known that Xilou is not a fairy tale writer at all, but a writer who has left many works in the world of poetry and short stories.
…
At this moment, Wang Mo also saw the discussion on the Internet.
But he didn't care.
There is no rush to take out "Journey to the West".
What he cares about most now is whether he can get the final honor of "Hometown of Music".
Although in the eyes of the outside world, it is almost certain that China will receive this honor, but until the moment of final announcement, everything remains unknown.
the following few days
It was several other countries that did not take the stage to show off their country’s musical heritage.
Also not on stage are: Germany, England, Fuso, Italy and Australia.
Except for Fuso, the music heritage of the other four countries is also similar. After seeing China's magnificent musical instrument display and listening to China's passionate performance, not only European and American netizens, but even Chinese netizens expressed their opinions on the performances of the four countries. I feel so dull and boring.
Of course, the saddest thing is Fuso.
Originally, every time Fuso presented its heritage, it integrated the characteristics of the East and the West.
In the past, Western countries thought Fuso Country was innovative and praised it greatly.
But now I look at it, it’s bullshit innovation!
This shit is half plagiarized from the East and half from the West.
"It's enough to be shameless to this extent."
"What the hell, I'm the one who said Fuso was creative. It turned out to be a good copy."
"I'm so angry that a country like this can also get the Music Kingdom? Bah!"
"..."
Jiro Miyata was so angry that his face turned green. He wanted to argue, but found that there was no way to argue. I wanted the teacher Aida to stand up and say a few words, but found that the teacher was still blabbering, like a psycho.
Only Fusang netizens are still clamoring online.
"asshole!"
"idiot!"
"You are all very bad."
"We in Fuso Country are not sticklers. We never take other people's things."
But he was soon scolded by netizens all over the Internet.
He even offended Bangzi.
Damn it! Are you Fusang sick? I didn't even attend this music festival, so you dragged us into the water?
It turns out that Bangzi and Fusang are at odds with each other. As a result, Bangzi netizens are full of blood.
Fuck you!
So under the old and new grudges, the most powerful country in the universe and Fuso had a vigorous collision on the Internet.
Everyone looked confused.
Are these two countries so crazy?
On the other hand, Chinese netizens were so excited that they even went to the trouble themselves. One moment they pretended to be sticks to provoke the Fusang Kingdom, and the other moment they pretended to be Fusang people to pick sticks. They had a great time.
Anyway, these two are not interesting things.
…
that's all.
When the last round of music heritage performances from the eight major countries ended, another three days of display time had passed.
The day finally came when the official results were announced.
All eyes are on you.
Even Wang Mo was a little nervous, worried about an accident.
After all, no matter how good your music is, there is nothing you can do if some rubbish judges operate behind the scenes.
This time at the International Music Hall Night, there are eight major awards.
First: Best Piano Music.
Second: Best violin piece.
Third: Best Orchestral Work.
Fourth: Best Symphony.
Fifth: Best performing team.
Sixth: Best Performer.
Seventh: Best Musician.
Eighth: Home of Music.
Generally speaking, anyone who can win any of these eight music awards can go sideways in the music industry.
When the award ceremony began, many people's eyes were fixed on the Huaxia Music Team and Wang Mo.
Because they are sure that this time China will create an unprecedented miracle.
"I heard that China has never won any award before?"
"Not only did he win the prize, he was not even qualified to enter the final stage."
"China used to be a transparent existence."
"Who would have thought that China's performance would be so dazzling this time."
"How many awards do you think China can win this time?"
"At least two."
"Two? You underestimate Hua Xia and Wang Mo too much."
“I reckon it’s possible to get four, maybe more.”
"I remember that in history, Austria once won five awards, sweeping the music hall night, and also created the country with the most awards. Since then, no country has surpassed this number of awards. I don't know that China Can we tie the record set by Austria this time?"
"..."
There was a lot of discussion.
The awards ceremony finally kicked off.
First up is the best piano music.
If in every previous selection of "Best Piano Music", everyone quickly came to a conclusion, then this time's voting resulted in fierce debates among the judges.
It was really Wang Mo who was too perverted this time.
"I think 'Für Elise' is the best. It has been played more than 10 billion times around the world."
"Why is "Croatian Rhapsody" inferior to it? The number of plays cannot prove anything. The feelings of family and country in this piano piece are the most worthy of respect."
"Canon is definitely the best, it created a completely new musical form!"
"..."
These judges never dreamed that one day they would be arguing over several piano pieces composed by one person.
no way.
They are all amazing, beyond their imagination.
In the end, the "Best Piano Song" award was given to "Für Elise".
There are three reasons:
First, its spread is unprecedented in history.
Second, it spreads the piano so much that many beginners fall in love with the piano.
Third, its simple but not simple music score has reached the height of returning to nature.
So when the judges announced the answer, the audience accepted the result without causing a heated debate.
Wang Mo didn't care, it was all his anyway.
right?
Secondly, the best violin piece.
"Chaconne" passed all the judges' votes unanimously and without any doubt.
Without it!
The artistic conception and changes displayed in this "Chaconne" make almost all violinists around the world stunned and stunned by its depth and greatness.
If the violin piece does not win the best prize, it is estimated that all the judges will be drooled over.
"Two."
"Oh my god, Wang Mo has already won two awards."
"..."
When it was announced that "Chaconne" had won the award for best violin piece, the audience was already agitated.
but.
When the best orchestral piece was announced, the piece won was not the "Rachist March", but another orchestral piece.
Although Wang Mo was a little unwilling to accept this, he also knew it: this was a balancing strategy made by the judging panel because they did not want him to win all the awards alone. Moreover, the other party's orchestral piece is indeed very classic. Perhaps it is slightly inferior to "Lakisid March", but it is not far behind.
only.
When it comes to the awards ceremony for "Best Symphony".
Everyone in the audience shouted excitedly.
"destiny!"
"destiny!"
"..."
The crazy scene made the judges' expressions change slightly.
From this we can see how much a "Symphony of Destiny" shocked these people.
If "Destiny" had not won the award in the end, the audience would have been shocked.
Fortunately, the final result did not disappoint everyone, and "Symphony of Destiny" successfully won the honor of Best Symphony.
So far.
Wang Mo and Hua Xia have already won three awards.
However, the next best performance team was not awarded to China, but to the beautiful country's symphony orchestra.
Although Wang Mo felt a little disappointed, he also knew that in terms of large-scale performances, although the Huaxia team had worked very hard, there was still a certain gap between the world's top levels. It was normal for this award to be taken away by others.
then.
This is the sixth "Best Performer" award.
There is no doubt that Wang Mo won this trophy and deserved it.
Master-level playing skills are no joke.
Even the audience was shouting.
"Brother Mo, show off your cigarette again."
“I’m also going to listen to ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’.”
"No one questions this award, right? The scene of lighting up the cigarette makes me feel numb now when I think about it."
"..."
Four!
Huaxia has already won four awards!
As long as he wins another award, he can tie Austria's record!
And everyone is sure that there is a high probability that China will tie or even break the record, because the next two awards, as long as there are no accidents, there is basically no suspense.
Seventh: Best musician!
At this International Music Hall Night, who can be as dazzling as Wang Mo? Who can compete with Wang Mo?
no one!
Wang Mo alone trampled the six major music kingdoms under his feet and made all the music masters surrender.
So it was another unanimous vote, and Wang Mo won the "Best Musician" award.
At the same time, it also means that he stands on the highest podium of the music hall and is destined to be recorded on the stage of history.
At the same time, huge cheers erupted from the scene.
Because after Wang Mo won the "Best Musician", he represented China and won five awards at this music festival, tying Austria's record.
When Wang Mo stepped down.
Everyone at the scene suddenly became silent subconsciously, the only sound was heavy breathing.
Because at this moment only the last award has not been awarded.
That is!
The most important and eye-catching award of this music festival: the honor of "Hometown of Music".
who is it?
Is it China or other countries?
Until the last moment, everyone has expectations.
Finally, in the spotlight.
In the center of the stage, the organizer's judge held up a glittering golden trophy with the words "Hometown of Music" engraved on it and shouted: "Congratulations to China, for winning the honor of 'Hometown of Music' at this International Music Hall Night!" ( End of this chapter)
