Chapter 363 "Guanghan Palace Breaking Formation Song"
The beautiful and generous female host invited Xu Nuo to the center of the stage.
She smiled and said, "Today we are honored to invite the oldest symphony orchestra in China to perform for us."
The male host continued, "Yes, it is the famous Magic City Symphony Orchestra!"
The audience was excited. The Magic City Symphony Orchestra is one of the top symphony orchestras in the country, and it is hard to get tickets for every performance.
Anyone who has heard of symphony music knows that whether it is the band at ordinary evening parties or the band at concerts, the famous Magic City Symphony Orchestra is just a younger brother.
That kind of on-site infectiousness can make the whole person receive a baptism of music.
Applause rose again, for the Magic City Symphony Orchestra that is about to take the stage.
"Wait, why did the host ask Nuoyan to stay?"
"Maybe he will sing again?"
"This lineup is big enough. When Lin Wanqing sang "Shanghai Beach" before, it was this orchestra that accompanied her."
It seems to know what the audience is discussing.
The host restrained his smile, with a trace of regret on his face: "There is some bad news. Mr. Cao Xiu, the conductor of the Magic City Symphony Orchestra, suddenly felt unwell today and could not complete today's performance."
"Yes, Mr. Cao Xiu is old, and the continuous rehearsals are a bit too much for him."
The audience was surprised, and then a little silent.
Some people know that Cao Xiu is older than the white-haired Chen Jianshen. He is over 80 years old and still active on the stage. He is a respectable old man.
The audience's heart was lifted.
"Fortunately, Mr. Cao Xiu is just ill. The doctor checked that there is nothing wrong. He is resting backstage at this time."
The hosts explained the whole story to the audience one by one.
However, some people still don't understand. The conductor fell ill, and the program should be cancelled. The symphony orchestra does not have a substitute conductor.
"What is this for? Is he going to perform or not?"
"Why is Nuoyan standing here?"
"It looks good, but there is no use for him standing here?"
The audience was confused and didn't know what the Magic City TV was up to.
The host continued: "Entrusted by Mr. Cao Xiu, this performance will be conducted by Nuoyan!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and there was an uproar at the scene.
"Fuck! Nuoyan is conducting?"
"No way, he is conducting a symphony orchestra?"
"It doesn't seem to be a problem. Isn't it that the conductor just waves his hand at that station?"
Question, puzzlement, and confusion.
"The conductor is not as simple as you think. The conductor is the soul of the orchestra. It can be said that without the conductor, this piece of music cannot go on at all."
"Then why did you say Nuoyan to conduct? Can he do it?"
The scene was noisy, and the male host looked at the audience: "Next, let's welcome the Magic City Symphony Orchestra with the warmest applause!"
The curtain on the stage was opened, and hundreds of chairs were neatly arranged, and hundreds of orchestra members sat on the stage.
The audience suddenly realized that it was no wonder that "Moonlit Night" had no stage effects, and even the curtain at the back was not opened. At first, everyone thought it was a deliberately created stage effect.
It turned out to be a preparation for the symphony orchestra to perform.
Hundreds of people in the Magic City Symphony Orchestra sat upright on the ground. They were dressed in suits and looked energetic. They were masters at first glance.
"Let's welcome the conductor, Mr. Nuoyan!" The host made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Nuo walked forward a few steps and raised his hand to signal the orchestra to stand up.
Applause broke out, Xu Nuo shook hands with the chief conductor Du Tao, took the baton from him, and turned to bow to the audience.
This is the most common ceremony of the symphony orchestra.
Every time the conductor came on stage, the audience would applaud, but the applause should be given to everyone in the orchestra, so the conductor would signal everyone to stand up.
Xu Nuo made a gesture to sit down, and everyone sat back in their seats.
The audience was excited. They didn't expect to be able to enjoy the performance of a hall-level band at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. This opportunity is hard to come by.
Everyone became curious. What song will be played this time?
"Shanghai Beach"?
No, if it is "Shanghai Beach", why didn't Lin Wanqing come?
Although they were confused, the audience did not forget to applaud this famous symphony orchestra.
Xu Nuo stood on the podium, then turned around and faced the orchestra members.
"Hey, why did you turn around? I wanted to appreciate his handsomeness."
"Of course the conductor should face the orchestra, not just for you."
"I'm starting to look forward to it."
"What a big deal, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra!"
Under the camera, Xu Nuo closed his eyes and bowed his head.
The information of this song appeared on the big screen.
The audience was excited.
Because the screen showed "Guanghan Palace Breaking the Array" (symphony version of "Above the Moon").
"Above the Moon", everyone present has heard it, and this song has been played in every square across the country for more than half a year.
Whether you listen to it or not, everyone is familiar with this song.
Some people frowned. "Above the Moon" has several mocking labels that can't be torn off, "rustic", "square dance god song", "agricultural heavy metal".
This label has never been torn off. Even though Phoenix Band appeared on CCTV Spring Festival Gala last year with this song and participated in countless music festivals, it still can't change everyone's stereotype of this song.
Such a song full of "rustic" is paired with a symphony?
Are you crazy? !
"Has the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra lost its mind?"
"Have you been kidnapped?"
"The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra is finished!"
Some people asserted that this performance would end in failure.
How could a high-end symphony be combined with a "rustic" love song?
Such doubts are normal. In 2014, when Phoenix Legend invited the China Philharmonic Orchestra to accompany them, the outside world was also full of doubts and confusion.
In the minds of the public, symphony is elegant and serious, and it is also daunting for ordinary people. Even if it appears, it should maintain its usual elegance.
Instead of being like "Above the Moon", some people think this is a blasphemy against symphony.
There are also doubts on the Internet.
Only the Phoenix Band, who were watching the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, were extremely surprised. Before the gala started, they received a message from Xu Nuo: "Tonight I will clear your name once."
When they received the message, they were puzzled, thinking that Xu Nuo was going to sing "Above the Moon" or "The Most Dazzling National Style" in person. It would be nice to sing these two songs at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
But Xu Nuo said no, and asked them to watch carefully.
The commotion of the audience did not affect Xu Nuo and the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra.
As if time had stopped, Xu Nuo did not move for three seconds, then suddenly raised his head, holding the stick in his right hand and raising his left hand.
The performance was about to begin, and the audience gradually quieted down, waiting for this different performance.
I saw him drawing curves up and down with his right hand, and retracting and releasing his left hand.
"Elegant!"
"Professional!"
"It looks like that!"
"Awesome!"
The clarinet sounded first, and the passionate and grand music sounded with clear layers.
"Thump, thump, thump~thump, thump, thump~"
It was so grand and exciting that it made people's scalps numb.
The audience was already excited in just a few seconds at the beginning.
The string music part had already ignited the scene.
On the big screen, a moon appeared, which was photographed from the perspective of space.
Sharp-eyed space fans felt that this perspective was somewhat familiar, as if it was the latest picture taken by the moon landing spacecraft!
"Fuck, a dream linkage!"
"It's really above the moon!"
"Awesome!"
"Why doesn't this song sound earthy at all?"
Although "Guanghan Palace Breaking Formation Song" retains the original composition, the arrangement has been completely changed, and the distinction has changed from "agricultural heavy metal" to an epic symphony.
If you don't listen carefully, you can't even hear the shadow of "Above the Moon".
The magnificent music, accompanied by the rapidly approaching moon on the big screen.
The audience felt as if they had boarded the Shenzhou spacecraft and were heading towards the moon.
"Awesome, no wonder it's called "Guanghan Palace Breaking the Array"!"
"It can also be called Taiyin."
"Guanghan Palace is better, it sounds familiar."
"Fairy Chang'e, here I come!"
Guanghan Palace is Chang'e's palace in mythology and legends. "Guanghan Palace Breaking the Array" is naturally not about breaking Guanghan Palace, but starting from Guanghan Palace to conquer the universe.
The Chinese nation has had a unique feeling for the moon since ancient times.
Chang'e flying to the moon and Wu Gang cutting down the osmanthus tree are all familiar myths and legends.
The Magic City Symphony Orchestra, with its passionate music, seems to take everyone to fly into space.
Just the prelude makes everyone excited.
Is this still the earthy love song "Above the Moon"?
Everyone has doubts.
It's so beautiful. "Guanghan Palace Breaking the Array" seems to have been reborn, washing away all the criticized "agricultural heavy metal" styles and putting on a set of sci-fi armor.
However, this is only the prelude, and the real high-energy nuclear explosion scene has not yet begun.
On the stage, half of the people are still motionless.
The prelude is still dominated by string music.
The timbre of string music is closer to human voice, so it makes people feel closer, while the timbre of wind music has the feeling of wood and metal, so it is harder than string music and has a higher volume range.
For example, suona is a wind music. When the suo la sounds, parents raise it in vain.
At this time, the main sound is the melodious sound of string music. Even so, everyone is ignited by this song.
However, the audience can only feel the shock brought by "Guanghan Palace Breaking Formation Song" when the wind music is completely added.
On the podium, Xu Nuo's gesture is gentle and pressed down.
The pitch of the performance began to drop, and the audience became alert. Everyone knew that this song could not end, and the pitch drop could only be a preparation for the climax.
The prelude is so passionate, how explosive should the climax be?
Xu Nuo's hand was raised up twice in a row.
The lights are getting brighter and brighter.
The audience finally got a clear view of the full picture of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra.
Drums joined!
Wind instruments joined!
Guitar joined!
Bass joined!
The symphony orchestra was in full swing.
The nuclear engine was running at full speed.
