"You can tell us your specific thoughts. Except for you and Ya Xi, none of us are very good at writing this kind of songs, so I think you need someone who can impress us and take risks with you. Reason, otherwise our team formation would not make much sense." Xu Pan said very directly.

Qiu Yumian nodded, "Understood. Indeed, I felt very uneasy when I came up with this idea, because this is not my own stage, and it will not be my only work. It concerns the five of us. A common destiny. So I just put forward my idea. If you think it doesn’t work, we can discuss something else."

"My idea is to create a new pop song with an ancient style based on the story of the female consort."

Qi Yaxi's eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't hide her excitement as she said, "Female consort! Is she the one who "left her home to save Li Lang, and who expected to win the top spot on the imperial list"?!"

"Yes." Qiu Yumian smiled and then sang these words.

"To save Li Lang from his home

Who would have thought that he would be number one on the imperial list?

The number one scholar wears a red robe

It’s so fresh to insert palace flowers.”

"It sounds good!" Mu Shi applauded vigorously, Qiu Yumian lowered her eyes and laughed softly, and then continued, "When I was a child, I sang a song called "Mulan" when I participated in the show. It was adapted by Sister Xiaoxiao. Yes, I really like this creative method that combines modern pop music with traditional opera, and I have always wanted to try it again, but I have never had the opportunity."

"Actually, what Xu Pan said just now is a bit wrong. To put it into perspective, the five of us are not very good at writing such songs. Although Ya Xi has written ancient songs, in fact, pure ancient style is the combination of traditional opera and pop music. It’s still different.”

"As for me, in fact, I have only written songs for Ah Shi in these years, and have never tried this kind of creation method. This is a big challenge for us, but at the same time, I also feel that once we write it, And when the stage is finally done, it will be a very eye-catching stage.”

"I think the section I sang just now should be familiar to everyone. It is actually a very classic section in Huangmei Opera. The Female Consort is also a very classic section in Huangmei Opera."

"The story of the female consort has been around since ancient times. First it was in ancient novels, and then in various operas, the story of the female consort was sung. Among them, this version of Huangmei Opera is the most popular. The plot of the Huangmei Opera adapted in 1959 reflects the liberation of Related social phenomena such as the improvement of women’s status in the post-war era are of progressive significance.”

Qi Yaxi listened intently and asked quickly, "Then what kind of story did this female consort tell?"

"This play is very long. I have seen a synopsis on station B before, which gives a very comprehensive summary of the story. Let me think about how to tell you orally." Qiu Yumian searched his memory, and then slowly Tell the story of the female consort.

"Feng Suzhen, a civilian girl, and Li Zhaoting, the son of a first-class official, have been engaged since childhood, and they have fallen in love with each other. Unexpectedly, Li Zhaoting's father was raped by an adulterer, and he was the only one left in the family. He was forced to defect to Feng Suzhen. The government asked for help. Feng Suzhen's father, Feng Shunqing, disliked poverty and loved wealth. When he saw Li Zhaoting, he forced him to break off the engagement. When Mr. Li refused, Feng Shunqing falsely accused him of stealing silver and asked his servants to send Mr. Li to the Yamen. "

"After Feng Suzhen found out, she devoted herself to saving her husband. She took her personal maid Chunhong and disguised herself as a man and rushed to the capital to find her brother to make decisions for her. Unexpectedly, her brother was kicked out of the house by her stepmother and changed her name. Feng Suzhen couldn't find her brother, so she happened to catch up with him. During the imperial examination, she took the imperial examination under the name Li Zhaoting."

"Feng Suzhen took the first place on the imperial list. When the emperor saw her, he was very fond of her. He issued an imperial edict to recruit Feng Suzhen as his consort and promised her the little princess who had just grown up. It was hard to violate the holy order, so Feng Suzhen had no choice but to agree."

"On the wedding night, Feng Suzhen studied poetry and books diligently. At the fifth watch of the day, the princess discovered the clues, and Feng Suzhen told the truth. The princess felt very sorry for Feng Suzhen's experience, and admired her talent. They discussed with her how to tell the truth to the emperor. .”

"On the second day, the princess told the emperor the story of Feng Suzhen in the way of telling anecdotes. She also coquettishly asked the emperor what he should do if such a strange woman came to our court. The emperor directly opened his mouth: If this woman comes to our court, First forgive her crime of deceiving the emperor, and then accept her as an adopted daughter, and then pardon Mr. Li and fulfill the good relationship between the two of them for a hundred years."

"The princess was overjoyed after hearing this. After confirming Jun Wu's joke, she called Feng Suzhen to express her gratitude. The emperor was immediately dumbfounded. I was just talking. Did you really create a female consort for me? He immediately became furious and wanted to kill him. Feng Suzhen, the princess begged for mercy in every possible way and acted coquettishly, so the emperor lost his temper and could only agree to accept Feng Suzhen as his adopted daughter, and release Mr. Li from prison to replace the number one scholar, so that the two of them could be fulfilled."

"As for the little princess, Feng Suzhen's brother is the number one scholar with a criminal record and is now the inspector of the Eight Prefectures. When he heard that his little sister was so naughty and even played with her, he quickly went to the palace to intercede with the saint, but the little princess saw him. Once he got married, the emperor recruited him as the consort of the little princess and let the two couples get married on the same day."

"Can we finish such a long story in one song?" Shi Nianzhuo asked.

Qiu Yumian shook her head, "So we just need to choose a small fragment. Let me tell you the story. I just thought that if everyone has no objections, it would be better to understand the whole story context for ease of creation. Think about some causes and consequences so you don’t write the wrong thing.”

"Which clip do you want to choose?" Xu Pan asked.

"The wedding night with flowers and candles."

Mu Shi was a little curious, "Why did you choose the wedding night with flowers and candles?"

"Actually, I want to celebrate the power of women. It just so happens that the students in our program are all girls. What I want to express is that girls can also have extraordinary courage and wisdom, and girls have the best and best character. .”

"The wedding night is when Feng Suzhen tells the princess the truth and reveals the woman's identity. It is also the time when the princess has a big picture and it inspires women's awareness of independence through Feng Suzhen."

"One is Feng Suzhen, who is talented and courageous, and the other is a gentle, lovely and magnanimous princess. Feng Suzhen appreciates the princess's brilliant strategy and political ambition. The princess appreciates Feng Suzhen's adventures along the way. Two girls who care about their country are mutual friends. Isn't this... A proper heroine?"

"Then I wanted to have a little ending at the end, but I wanted to change it to Feng Suzhen. After her identity as a woman was accepted by the emperor, the princess became fascinated by the majestic beauty of the great rivers and mountains she heard from her, and decided to see the vast world. In the human world, Feng Suzhen came with flowers to send me off."

"In this song, Li Lang only serves as a line. What I want to express more is a woman's open-mindedness and ambition. She is not limited to a small world and is extremely intelligent. We are all saying 'Girl helps' now." Girl', isn't this section just the ancient version of 'Girl helps girl'? A beautiful woman pities a beautiful woman, and she loves her." Qiu Yumian said.

"I want to write!" Qi Yaxi was the first to raise her hand. She looked very excited, "I like this story and I also like your idea!"

"I also like this idea. This idea is really good." Shi Nianzhuo also stood up and said.

"I have no objection. I also want to try to turn what Mianmian just said into a good work." Xin Miao nodded.

"Since everyone has no objections, then I have no objections either. Mianmian, I am convinced by you." Xu Pan said with a smile.
