Chapter 444 Hey, let’s drink tea first!
I have to say that the theme that Teacher Wei Xia gave me is indeed quite good.
It combines folk culture, intangible cultural heritage, and martial arts to present a story in the form of a dance drama that many people don't know but should be known to.
Sanyuanli resisted the British.
The locals, the Cantonese, know quite a lot, and for the locals it is even more trying.
But in fact, China is so big that many northerners really don’t know that such things exist.
It's like some friends in the south have only heard of it and occasionally glimpsed it in history, but it wasn't until they went to Erbin that they could clearly understand the extent to which a certain bacterial army destroyed humanity.
Many things should not be forgotten, and many things should be widely publicized.
Originally, the southern lion dance originated from sacrifice, so it was named after "auspicious". At the beginning, this sport was called "auspicious lion".
But in Cantonese, "rui" is the same as "sleep".
The tones of medieval Chinese are generally the four tones of flat, up, down, and enter, and the four tones are divided into yin and yang.
This is even suspected of causing trouble.
Chinese tones are generally marked in fifths.
Li Jinglin has studied language. Otherwise, when he created the music in the Old Norse language for "Hall of Valor", it would not have been so smooth.
Even if some Cantonese songs forcibly change the tone of the sentence in order to accommodate the changes in the musical scale, it will sound quite unauthentic to the ears of Cantonese people.
Even if two dialects are very similar, they sound the same to outsiders.
Generally speaking, as long as one speaks Mandarin well and the cadences are clear and clear, then one’s perception of music will be high.
Well, Northeastern dialect is 213, so it sounds a bit like 213.
On the other hand, Cantonese.
But for northerners, learning Cantonese is probably more difficult than learning a foreign language.
The reason why the plastic Cantonese in Li Jinglin's previous "Wild Wolf" song sounds quite magical is precisely because although it seems to be Cantonese, it is actually the pronunciation logic of Northeastern dialect. Both those who can speak Cantonese and those who cannot speak Cantonese are silent. .
Li Jinglin really wanted to start creating this work.
Tone, that is, different pitches, can be completely simulated by the pitch of the musical scale.
What's more, this work is quite serious and you can't mess around in this kind of work.
Not only is it weird, but it is also easy to hear and hear other content.
Someone has created a work about your hometown, but the dialect spoken is not from your hometown, but the dialect next door.
The two-person song has a Northeastern accent, and the Cantonese songs would be weird if they were translated literally in Mandarin.
Even the creation of pop music.
The Northeastern dialect is very similar to the 214 in Mandarin, which is why many Northeastern people think their sister has an accent.
This is the response to history in the changes of folk art. History also gives art a unique meaning.
The Chinese themselves don't think so, but in fact, to the ears of some foreigners, Chinese people's speech sounds like they are singing.
As a music scholar, Li Jinglin naturally knows even more.
"It's broken. I never thought that it was not the music itself that trapped me in my creation, but the dialect."
The logic of the language must also be followed.
Unless you have nothing to do, just make pranks and play something interesting and harmless.
With the development of dynasties, people from the Central Plains moved north and south, each retaining different tonal characteristics, which formed dialects.
If you go from low to high, according to the fifth-degree notation method, the mark is 12345.
Nine tones and six tones, this is why Cantonese is often used for research by researchers of ancient Chinese.
In the ears of the audience, it is easy to have the feeling of "this has no soul".
His brows were furrowed a bit.
even.
To write a story about San Yuanli, you have to study the Cantonese in San Yuanli. Whenever you write Hong Kong-style Cantonese, it will sound like thunder in the ears of the locals.
Tone is the change in pitch of language.
but.
The biggest feature of Chinese is its tones.
Just think about it.
This is really not a question of being pretentious or not.
Li Jinglin started scratching his head.
There are three types of just entering the voice.
The direction of many folk songs and folk music must be in line with the characteristics of the local language.
When facing the invaders, the auspicious lion turned into a waking lion.
At least, when you first learn a foreign language, you really don’t understand anything. When you learn Cantonese, you often talk and talk.
Otherwise, it is certain to follow the logic of language.
"Don't think too much about it now, let's go for a walk in Sanyuanli."
Just leave.
Li Jinglin boarded the plane to Guangdong almost two hours later.
What you learn from books can only be put into practice after seeing and experiencing it yourself.
There are still at least two or three days before Luo Shiyao's review is completed. Since we can't meet him during this time, we might as well go to the Sanyuanli Anti-British Memorial Hall first.
Can't waste time!
Li Jinglin fell asleep directly on the plane.
At this time, Wei Xia was calling Li Jinglin.
Frowning, he listened to the voice on his phone.
"Why is it still turned off?"
While muttering.
Wei Xia sorted out the documents in her hands.
There are many creative themes in the document.
Just because it hadn’t been sorted out yet, I picked a sorted theme and sent it to Li Jinglin, so that Li Jinglin could take a look and talk about it first. Then, when the themes in his hands were sorted out, he would make some comparisons before confirming.
But it's only been a day and the phone can't be reached.
So, Wei Xia had no choice but to send the rest of the documents to Li Jinglin.
Long wait.
Until dinner time in the evening, Wei Xia saw that Li Jinglin didn't reply, so she made another tentative call.
This time it was connected.
"Hello? Mr. Li, where are you?"
"Ah? I'm in Sanyuanli."
Li Jinglin got off the plane and started driving.
This has just been settled at the Julong Hotel in Sanyuanli Village.
The location is very good, next to the subway station, and on the other side, you can go directly to the memorial hall.
"What?!"
Wei Xia exclaimed. Li Jinglin mentioned a place that Wei Xia least dared to think of.
"Sanyuanli, what's going on? We've arrived in Guangdong."
Li Jinglin let out a long breath.
"It's a bit late today. I'm just wandering around here now, and I'll go to the Memorial Park tomorrow."
"."
Wei Xia was confused.
Family members, who knows?
Without warning, this person would have gone directly from the capital to Guangdong.
"Don't tell me, walking on the streets here is quite interesting."
Li Jinglin's tone seemed quite happy.
"Walking on the streets of old Guangdong, you will see old Beijing cloth shoes on the right, and old Shanghai wontons on the left. One day we will also open a store near here, and we will call it Old Northeast Malatang."
"Hahaha, I'm just joking. Teacher Wei Xia, please don't mind."
"."
At this moment, Wei Xia even felt like vomiting blood.
"I'll interrupt you first, Mr. Li."
"Have you checked your mailbox?"
"."
Li Jinglin was stunned.
It always feels like something big is about to happen.
"I did not see."
"."
Wei Xia really didn't know how to speak.
"How about you take a look first and then talk."
"Oh, okay, let's see now."
Li Jinglin agreed.
Scratched his head.
He didn't hang up the call either. He pushed the ongoing call to the background and clicked on his mailbox.
You wouldn't know it if you didn't look at it, but Li Jinglin was instantly stunned.
"what?"
"."
"what?"
How could Li Jinglin not know what happened?
It turns out that I was mistaken!
I originally thought that Teacher Wei Xia wanted to collaborate with me on this subject.
But she never expected that she wanted to show herself the subject of the project at hand and let her choose.
Don't you think this is nonsense?
What am I doing here?
Hey, I'm here to make Shao Shao juice on a plane?
"."
Li Jinglin clicked back on the call.
But suddenly he was embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Jinglin smacked his lips.
"Teacher Wei Xia, I read it."
"Well, I saw it."
Teacher Wei Xia is also a little numb and doesn’t know what to say.
Just watch it, just watch it.
"Do you have to create all these themes?"
Hearing Li Jinglin's somewhat interrupting question, Wei Xia suddenly felt less embarrassed.
"Well, more or less, there are them all over the country, and they are all works that need to link up the members of the entire Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Generally speaking, local works are led by the local government, but if there are many tasks and there are other needs at hand, When rehearsing the program, in order not to waste creativity, these applications will be sent up."
"Sometimes it will be handed over to other creators to jointly create and integrate resources, and sometimes it will be kept for a while and then launched later."
"That's it."
Li Jinglin curled his lips and nodded.
"Okay, then I'll go back and take a look."
look? What are you looking at?
Come here.
It is simply impossible to make a trip in vain.
I didn't think about it that way originally, but now, it can basically be said that it has to be done.
"Okay, let's do it together then."
"Uh-huh."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jinglin walked in silence for a while.
He glanced at the unfamiliar streets around him.
"Forget it, why are you thinking so much?"
Li Jinglin shook his head and took a sip of the milk tea in his hand.
"Let's drink tea first. Those steamed buns look good."
Time flies.
Two days passed.
At this time, Li Jinglin had returned to the capital.
The quick and short ultra-long-distance travel gave Li Jinglin a brief sense of trance.
Although something happened in the middle.
But Li Jinglin, who had returned to the capital, and Li Jinglin, who had just left the capital, had surprisingly the same ideas.
Still feel it.
I want to create this dance drama "The Lion Wakes".
In terms of thinking, I haven't wavered at all.
In the past two days, Li Jinglin learned about the story of the "Resistance to the British in Sanyuanli" in detail and up close.
But this story is very different from what Li Jinglin imagined.
It seems that many details are full of a sense of gap, but it is precisely because of this sense of gap that Li Jinglin feels that it is quite necessary to turn it into a work of art.
