Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

The snow finally got heavy. The snow was already calf-thick after just one night. The temperature dropped to below zero in the morning. It was really cold to go out, but life had to go on. No matter happy or sad, we had to live our lives, right?

He Yuzhu finished his breakfast, wrapped his scarf around his neck and went to school. Before he left, Zhu Lin reminded him to go to the dance troupe after school so as not to make Professor Guan wait anxiously.

As for the current situation, not only Professor Guan is anxious, but people all over the country are anxious. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee proposed the reform and opening-up policy last year, all walks of life have been eagerly waiting for it, especially the farmers. Why do I say that? Because the first step of the reform and opening-up started from the countryside, with the contract responsibility system for linking remuneration to output as the starting point, Xiaogang Village was used as a pilot, and then the prelude to internal reform and opening-up was opened...

Today is the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the day after tomorrow is the Little New Year. There is still one week left before the performance, and time is really tight. So when He Yuzhu saw Professor Guan, the old man was so excited that he almost cried.

"Director He, I have to thank you!" Professor Guan held He Yuzhu's hand and shook it continuously.

This is a kind old man with a sincere look.

"You're welcome. I'm also part of the working class. It's my honor to compose a song for them." He Yuzhu smiled and nodded. He has learned a lot in the past few years and has become much more mature and stable.

"Great~" Professor Guan said with emotion: "Oh, you don't know, when I first heard your song about horse racing, I was so shocked. I never thought that traditional music could be expressed in this way. It's amazing!"

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, I was just thinking about it when I had nothing to do~" Plagiarism is shameless, but it feels so good, hehe.

Professor Guan said seriously: "You are so modest. There is no single way to learn, and self-taught people are even more precious. Besides, real art comes from life, like Hua Yanjun back then. You are all people with lives, so you can create such heart-stirring music!"

The Hua Yanjun he mentioned is the blind A Bing. A Bing's life was extremely rough and he had a profound understanding of life, so he created the world-famous "Erquan Yingyue". Last year, when Seiji Ozawa visited China, he knelt down to worship it when he first heard this song, saying, "This song should only be listened to on your knees." You can imagine how great an impact it had on him.

In the erhu circle, A Bing is a god-like figure, and it is no exaggeration to call him the ancestor.

He Yuzhu said admiringly: "I dare not compare myself with Mr. Hua. He is the real master, and I am just a small player. Alas, I will never meet him in this lifetime. What a pity!"

"Yes, fortunately it was discovered in time, otherwise there would be no "Erquan Yingyue" today!"

Professor Guan was really disappointed. He had studied Abing carefully. Although Erquan Yingyue had extremely high artistic achievements, he thought it was not necessarily Abing's highest achievement. Perhaps there were other excellent works. It was a pity that he left in such a hurry that he only recorded six songs. It was a pity...

People who work in art tend to be emotional, and Professor Guan started to lose focus as he thought about it.

He Yuzhu was confused and wondered what the old man was thinking.

"Professor Guan~"

Professor Guan suddenly came to his senses and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately..."

"Understand, understand!"

It is really busy here. Due to the tight time schedule, everyone is practicing intensively and very hard...

The country organizes performances on every festival, such as May Day, National Day and the Spring Festival. Especially during the Spring Festival, there are not only many meetings but also many performances. Especially in Kyoto, performances of all sizes are staged every day, so how to enrich the performance program becomes the biggest problem. We can't perform the same show every time, right?

If there are not enough actors, there are extras to make up the cast, but the program cannot be sloppy, especially since it is a performance in the Great Hall, so we cannot take it lightly. Therefore, the leadership responsibility system came into being. Every relevant person in charge must come up with two programs. It doesn't matter if you create them or recommend them, and the quality is not demanding. As long as you can ensure that the performance goes on normally, it's a great achievement.

Professor Guan had just arrived and he definitely wanted to show off. He majored in traditional music and was assigned to the folk music orchestra. Professor Guan is also a creative talent and has rich stage experience. The orchestra also asked him to be a guide in the creative room. The more capable you are, the more work you should do!

Time is tight and the task is heavy. No matter how capable Professor Guan is, it is impossible for him to create something in such a short time. Artistic creation requires inspiration. Forcing something to happen will only lead to constipation.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly remembered a performance at the Third Steel Rolling Mill two years ago, where He Yuzhu's song about horse racing shocked the audience. If he could invite him, wouldn't the show be possible?

So Professor Guan immediately contacted the steel mill, asked for He Yuzhu's address, and then went to visit him without stopping. Unfortunately, He Yuzhu was not at home at that time.

……

After chatting for a while, Professor Guan suddenly asked: "Do you still practice often at home? I'm talking about the erhu~"

He had been to He Yuzhu's house and had seen pianos, guitars and other musical instruments, but Zhu Lin told him that these were all bought by He Yuzhu outside and he only looked at them and had rarely touched them.

If you don't practice for a long time, your hands will become rusty. Professor Guan must confirm it.

He Yuzhu didn't know what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "It's OK. I played a section last night and I still feel the same~"

"That's good, that's good!" But Professor Guan was still worried, "How about we go to the rehearsal room and give it a try? You may not know, this performance is very important to me, there can't be any mistakes!"

"Okay, I feel like some parts are not quite coherent yet, so I was just thinking of asking you for some guidance!"

"Haha, then let's learn from each other!"

He Yuzhu found that Professor Guan was a really nice person. You know, he is a senior professor now. According to the level of the song and dance troupe, he should be treated as a director-level official at least. But he is like a patriarch, without any airs at all.

"By the way, Professor Guan, please provide lunch at noon. I came here on an empty stomach!" He Yuzhu joked.

"Haha, don't worry, I'll make sure you're full!"

Professor Guan felt that He Yuzhu was quite interesting, as he was thinking about eating before he even started working. Of course, this did not mean that he was too pragmatic, but that his way of speaking and behavior were too special.

"You know what, our cafeteria has a really good braised pork dish, you must try it!"

"Then I'm in for a treat~"

The two of them walked towards the rehearsal hall, talking and laughing. People kept greeting them on the way, of course all to Professor Guan. Some were polite, some were respectful, and some seemed to have no choice but to do so. Anyway, they were all different.

"In order to cooperate with this performance, the troupe has seconded many people!" Professor Guan saw He Yuzhu's confusion and explained with a smile: "It's not that there are not enough people in the troupe, but the scale of the performance is too large. Starting from the New Year's Eve, there will be one show every day and two shows on the night of the 30th. CCTV will be responsible for recording and filming, and we will be mainly responsible for coordination~"

I'm even on fucking TV. Am I going to show my face?

He Yuzhu was a little excited.

When he arrived at the rehearsal hall, He Yuzhu was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him. Looking around, the entire hall was filled with people. It was very crowded, some were rehearsing, some were dancing, some were practicing their vocals. In short, it was a hodgepodge.

"Is this the only rehearsal room in our troupe?" He couldn't imagine what it would be like to practice here.

Professor Guan smiled and said, "This is one of them. We mainly arrange some scheduled programs to practice here!"

He Yuzhu immediately understood that some programs were already very mature and did not need to be rehearsed anymore, just let them get started.

At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a leader stood in the middle of the field and shouted, "Stop in area number three!"

A group of little girls who were practicing dancing all stopped.

"Director Han, why did you ask us to stop?"

"That's right, we've only just begun!"

"It's better now, the feeling is gone~"

"..."

The little girls expressed their dissatisfaction.

Director Han waved his hand to appease everyone, "Don't worry, come on, let me introduce you to everyone. This is Li Shuanghe, the solo singer from the General Political Department. I believe you all know him!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was boiling.

"It's really Li Shuanghe, I didn't expect him to come too~"

"Oh my, I finally saw the real person~"

"Comrade Li Shuanghe, I heard that you are going to Guangxi to give a consolation performance. Please show your kindness to the people of Guangxi!"

"..."

A large group of people surrounded Li Shuanghe, wanting to tear him to pieces. Fortunately, Director Han tried his best to block them, so he escaped.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but think of the star-chasing scenes in later generations, and sighed. He also chased stars, as a young man, but he was not a brainless fan, and he would not become someone's lackey.

"I didn't expect to see Li Shuanghe here. Look how successful he is. I'm so envious~" He Yuzhu suddenly thought that this guy also likes to eat young grass, and he was immediately disgusted: "Bah, scum~"
