Chapter 300 Arrangement
After Zhang Qingfeng visited the Grand Theater, he felt that it was barely okay overall.
However, if compared with the buildings of later generations, this grand theater can only be described with words such as too ugly and dirt.
However, such an architectural style has a great impact on the people of the Song Dynasty.
If you want to ask people how the Dasong Drama Theater is, everyone will say good-looking, so beautiful, huge, incredible, and other adjectives.
The time entered the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 1205 AD.
There is one month left, and according to the customs of the Han people, it will be the Chinese New Year.
Zhang Qingfeng took office after the Spring Festival.
So Zhang Qingfeng has plenty of time to deal with his own affairs.
Zhang Qingfeng decided to hold a performance at the "Da Song Drama Theater" the day before the new year.
On that day, he will invite all the noble officials and their families in Lin'an to come to the drama theater to watch the show.
It's the same situation as the Spring Festival Gala, and by the way, I also advertised for the Dasong Drama Theater.
Although Zhang Qingfeng hadn't been in the Goulan circle for several years, it was only his words to find someone in this circle.
After Zhang Qingfeng asked his father Yang Maocai to look for artists who could play various musical instruments, within three days, hundreds of people who were proficient in musical instruments were found.
The stage of the Dasong Drama Theater is very large. Without sound amplification equipment, if one person plays an instrument, the sound will be very low. Therefore, Zhang Qingfeng had to form a symphony orchestra.
A symphony orchestra is different from a solo performance. When dozens or hundreds of people are playing at the same time, Zhang Qingfeng can definitely ensure that the sound of the instrument can be heard in all corners of the entire venue.
"Can everyone understand the music score?"
In the backstage hall of the Great Song Drama Theater, Zhang Qingfeng met the musical instrument masters found in Lin'an City for the first time.
Most of the people who can come here are elderly people. Many of them have played musical instruments all their lives, and their mastery of musical instruments is much stronger than ordinary people.
"Master Yang, I can understand." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, someone said.
Zhang Qingfeng followed the sound and saw that he was an old man in his 60s or [-]s. He was holding an erhu. He should be a master of the erhu.
"I can understand it too."
"I can barely read it."
Others also said one after another.
As for those who didn't speak, they probably couldn't understand or were unfamiliar with it.
Don’t think that anyone who knows how to play musical instruments can understand music scores. In ancient times, many people learned musical instruments by hand. That’s how other people play and others play according to other people’s methods.
Just like singing, those who can sing don't necessarily know the sheet music.
But fortunately, Zhang Qingfeng discovered that among the hundred people in front of him, at least a dozen of them could read music scores.
"This is the music score. Those who can read it can read it first, and then I will teach it to everyone." Zhang Qingfeng took out a stack of music scores and handed them to a dozen people who could understand music scores and said.
The music score he took out was not a staff notation, but the ancient notation recording method he learned in this era.
"There are ten pieces of music we are going to learn, including erhu, guzheng, pipa, flute, ocarina, etc. Learn to play these songs in time..." Zhang Qingfeng said to everyone.
After speaking, he took an erhu handed by the staff, and then continued: "I will play the huqin music for everyone first, and everyone listen carefully."
After Zhang Qingfeng finished speaking, he began to play the erhu.
Suddenly, the melodious sound of the piano rang from the erhu.
Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's performance, a group of people in the audience immediately listened attentively, only to hear a prelude, and everyone was stunned.
The quality of this song is definitely not inferior to that of Zhang Qingfeng's previous songs such as Butterfly Lovers.
Zhang Qingfeng used flute, zither, erhu, pipa and other instruments to play this piece, and he is just demonstrating it to everyone now.
Next, Zhang Qingfeng played all the other pieces again, so that everyone had an intuitive image of these pieces.
Of course, not all of these pieces are played by individual instruments, and Zhang Qingfeng is planning to find some people to sing in a chorus for a few of them.
For example, "Loyalty to Serve the Country", "How Much Sorrow", and "May I Live Long". For these songs, Zhang Qingfeng is going to find a group of people to sing in chorus.
Most of the contents of these songs are stories that are well-known to many people in Song Dynasty.
For example, "Serve the country with loyalty" mainly tells about Yue Fei, and this song expresses Yue Fei's strong patriotic enthusiasm.
The lyrics intuitively express the thrilling momentum of fighting on the battlefield, which is very shocking.
"How Many Sorrows" is also the poem "Poppy Beauty" written by Li Yu, a poet of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the Song Dynasty, and many people know this poem.
As for "I hope people will last forever", this is a poem by Su Dongpo, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. As long as there are educated people, there is no one who does not know this poem.
For this performance, Zhang Qingfeng took out ten pieces of music in one breath. Each piece is a classic music that can stand the test of time, rather than the kind of saliva songs that are forgotten once you hear them.
Apart from music, Zhang Qingfeng attaches the most importance to drama performance.
For this performance, Zhang Qingfeng prepared three drama programs and wrote the script himself.
The name of the first script is "Serving the Country with Loyalty", which mainly tells about Yue Fei's heroic deeds, and the music "Serving the Country with Loyalty" is the theme song of this drama.
Now is the last moment of preparation for the Northern Expedition, Zhang Qingfeng is going to use Yue Fei's story to cheer everyone up.
The name of the second play is "Flowers in the Backyard", which mainly tells the story of the Queen Chen of the Southern Dynasty who was addicted to beauty, singing and dancing, and finally lost the country. "How Sad" is the theme song of this drama.
Zhang Qingfeng wants to use this story to warn the world.
There is also a drama called "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl".
That's right, it is the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, one of the four folk love stories.
In fact, in recent years, some people have adapted the four major folk love stories into dramas.
Cowherd and Weaver Girl have appeared in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
After Zhang Qingfeng's Legend of the White Snake and Liang Zhu were adapted into dramas, others naturally tried to adapt Meng Jiangnu and Cowherd and Weaver Girl, and achieved good results.
Although someone has already adapted the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Zhang Qingfeng is not worried because the story he wrote is different from everyone else's. He decided to adopt a more mature story structure in later generations.
The song "May I Live Long" is the theme song of the drama "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl".
In addition to the drama program, there is of course a dance program.
For example, for the few pieces of music other than the three drama theme songs, Zhang Qingfeng arranged for many handsome men and women to dance on the stage when the orchestra played.
Of course, in addition to singing, dancing and drama, Zhang Qingfeng also invited some well-known artists and groups in Lin'an City to perform acrobatics and magic.
