Chapter 17: Act III "Rachmaninoff" ④

The idea of ​​Xiang Gu wanted to sing two roles by one person was immediately opposed by the class teacher.

Chu Ping asked: "Don't you find a partner? If so, the teacher can come forward to help you communicate."

As a class teacher, she naturally knows that high school students of this age will more or less have some "small group" behaviors, and it is normal for Xiang Guai to join the class with a halo and not be able to join the class for a while.

Just the final exam is not child's play, it's about graduation results! "Rachmaninoff" is not a one-man show. Among the 19 songs, several are duets, and there are so many opponent plays in the play that it is absolutely impossible to be played by one person.

"Thank you, there are indeed other students who invited me to join their team, but I don't think it is necessary." Xiangchai Ping answered quietly, "Mr. Chu, may the school have a rule that a student cannot learn two roles?"

"Though not, but ..."

"I remember in the Appreciation class, you showed us two official videos of different cards. In both games, the same actor played Rach first and then Dr. Dali."

Chu Ping said helplessly: "Dare to have this idea at that time? ... It's different. That actor has been famous for a long time, the stage is experienced, and he is not 'playing two roles at the same time', he is Rach A card, and at the same time Dali's b card. "

Such things are not uncommon in China. In order to save staff salaries, the supporting characters in a play often learn the protagonist's vocals at the same time and give the protagonist a b-card.

But the example to the speculation is more special. When "Rachmaninoff" was staged, the two main actors played a total of three actors, and three men took turns, one of whom could perform both roles.

"Xiang Gui, the teacher knows how good you are. But nineteen songs, nineteen plot fragments. In our final exam, each student randomly selected two songs for live performance. It may be duet or solo. You really Think you can do it alone? Even if you have learned both solos, who will you work with when it comes to duets? "

Speaking to guessing, but he was used to pride, and at this time he was unwilling to bow his head, only repeating: "I have a way."

...... In fact, how can he do anything, I can only hope that there will be a road in front of the mountain.

Chu Ping could not persuade him, and could only let him be "solitary."

Chu Ping said: "Xiang Guai, I know you are proud. Pride has the virtue of pride, you are confident and mature than most of your classmates. But pride is also a disadvantage, I hope you can put yourself a little bit Come down a bit and become a collective. "

Nodded to Quiet Quietly, but was thinking: they are rejecting me, why should I "put it down" for them?

...

When Xiang Gu returned to the class, Qi Yan was lying on the table with earphones in her ears, watching the screen intently.

Xiang Guai broke up, flung over, and tore off her earphones, scaring her: "Ms. Chu is at the back door! Do you play mobile phones, are you afraid of being discovered by the teacher?"

Who thought Qi Qi snorted slowly: "I'm not playing this, I'm studying!"

She tapped on her mobile phone screen: "I'm watching the musical of" Rachmaninoff "and learn the essence of your seniors' performance."

Xiang Gui had a look at his head, but it wasn't. Qi Ran's mobile phone screen was indeed showing "Rachmaninoff". The set was gorgeous, but the two actors on the stage were very strange. Anyone I've seen in class.

He took a pair of headphones to his ears suspiciously—the case was solved, Qi Qi was actually listening to the original Korean!

Within Asia, Japan and South Korea are the strongest countries for musicals. Japan has a perfect stage theater system. The Four Seasons Theater and Takarazuka Theater are well-known. After hundreds of years, they have trained numerous talents in musical theater. In South Korea, on the contrary, their field of musical theatre was developed entirely by the small theater model. On Seoul's most famous university road, various small theaters are endless, as many as hundreds! Half of them are pocket theaters that can only accommodate a hundred people, and there is not yet a classroom. But it is precisely these small theaters that South Korea has contributed countless outstanding musicals and dramas to the Asian cultural circle, and "Rachmaninoff", a drama with only two male stars, was born here!

Korean is a cohesive language. Unlike Chinese, which has a four-tone change, this language is more convenient for expressing emotions in singing, unlike Chinese, which is ambiguous due to homophones.

The vocal teacher said that if everyone has the conditions, try to listen to the original musical and try to feel the feelings of the characters in the drama.

The problem is ... who understands.

Xiang Guai said, "Qi, there is no translation. Do you understand?"

Qi Yan snorted, and she didn't know where to pull out a postcard of a Korean female star, held it to her face, and asked him, "What do you think I have in common with her?"

"Uh ... all women?"

Qi Yan roared: "What, are we all surnamed Jin ????"

"Uh ... then what."

"My name is Kim Ki-Soo !!! Jin Ki-Soo !!! I'm Korean!" Qi Ji complained. "You and I have known each other for so long, you don't even know that I am a Korean."

This ... Xiang Gu really didn't know.

He froze for a moment, and looked at Qi Qi carefully. Qi Yan has a single eyelid, white skin, a round face, and a slightly high cheekbones. It really looks a bit like a Korean girl.

Xiang Gu guessed that his friend was really unqualified. He hesitated for a long time and wanted to say sorry, but the last thing he said was: "Ani Hasai."

Qi Yan was smirked by him. He wanted to complain that he didn't care about himself at all, but he couldn't get much anger out of the beautiful face.

"Okay. Would you like to listen?" She assigned him the headphones and adjusted the video to Yelena, the most famous vocal part of the musical.

Yelena is Rachmaninoff's sister. This song expresses Rach's miss for her sister in the play, and also represents his pursuit and yearning for the music world.

This tune is the climax of the whole story, and it is also the theme song of the musical. It is adapted from the second movement of Rach's "Piano Concerto No. 2" and is lyrical.

Xiang Gui initially thought that language barriers would definitely affect appreciation, but he soon discovered that in the world of music, language barriers are by no means a hindrance, because just listening to the feelings in their voices can be brought into the story. .

On the stage, the two lanterns were shrouded in spotlight lanterns, and the two men faced each other, singing this timeless song together.

Chasing their figures to Guess's eyes, the notes in his ears jumped, he subconsciously followed the music, and hummed the song.

The Chinese translation is long remembered in my mind, and at this moment, it flows out--

"I remember the hand you touched

Warm me up.

It's those hands that soothe the pain

Brings laughter. "

Xiang Guai's voice was very low. He brought himself into the plot. At this moment, he was Rah, chasing the dream Rach.

What he once was proud of became a source of his pain. He couldn't stand up, but lived in the shadows of the past.

Fortunately, he met Dali, who rescued him from the predicament and took him out of the quagmire step by step.

"Listen, listen to the sound of that piano.

As a gift for you.

You listen, you listen

Call once

You see

A long-lost smile ... "

Waiting for the climax of the music, Xiang Guai didn't notice that his voice also improved with the scale--

"You listen, you listen

Listen to the call

You see

Look at the long-lost smile

Wrap around your fingertips

Haunt in dream

You and me compose this melody ... "

The musical is accompanied by live accompaniment, with the piano player acting as the conductor of the orchestra. The stringed instrument matched the beat of the piano keys to tell this story, this relationship. Although the song is called "Yelena", isn't it praising Rach and Dali's friendship?

Xiang Gu likes this story because he sometimes feels that he is the Rach in the play. He was as proud as he was, but trapped in his pride.

It's just ... Where's Dali who can lead him out of the situation?

At the end of the song, he finally hummed the final chant to speculation.

He was immersed in the music and didn't notice that the entire classroom became extremely quiet.

He didn't know that from the moment he started singing, the noise in the class faded away. The classmates who had been chatting and arguing had involuntarily put their eyes on him.

Even Qi Yan, who was sitting beside him and sharing a pair of headphones with him, looked at him sideways.

If the maturity of the light theory sounds, Xiang Guai's singing voice can never be compared with other students in the class. There are two boys in their class called "human flesh CD player", the pitch is very stable, and they have gorgeous skills.

But Xiang Gui was different. Xiang Gui had only learned vocal music for more than two months, and his voice had not faded. But the emotion contained in his singing is unmatched by others.

Just like the song "youcan'tstopbeat" that he made a mess last time, like this "Yelena"-he has magical power. At the moment he spoke, everyone would throw his gaze on him and follow In his steps, he felt the surging emotion.

He is a born superstar, where he is, where is his stage.

Qi Qi looked at him thoughtly, wondering in five or ten years, in which theater would his fellow table stand, and how many audiences would he notice?

But at this time, Xiang Guai didn't notice the attention of other students, because he was getting into a huge problem——

——This "Yelina" is a chorus of the two male lead characters. It lacks a voice to cooperate with him. It's really thin ... 2k novel reading network
