After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

"Next, please welcome the contestant from Dongzhou Linhai University, Lu Wanxing!"

After the host made his announcement, he left the stage again.

As the lights changed, Lu Wanxing had been sent to the center of the stage by a lift.

He was wearing a black modified traditional Chinese style shirt, with a fresh look unique to young people, and his eyes were so bright that they seemed to reflect the stars in the sky.

Lu Wanxing waved and greeted the audience, then looked in the direction of the accompaniment group.

The camera also turned to that side.

Lu Wantang's figure appeared in front of everyone.

She sat in front of a guzheng, wearing a green silk cheongsam, with a simple jade hairpin in her bunted hair, looking elegant and cool.

The moment she raised her head and smiled towards the camera, countless people held their breath and the audience was incredibly quiet.

After a brief silence, there was a sudden burst of applause and cheers.

The number of comments in the live broadcast room increased dramatically.

[To be honest, Lu Wantang is really beautiful]

[As expected of a brother and sister...please debut as a group! Please!]

[Last time I played the pipa, last time I played the bamboo flute, this time I played the guzheng, so I want to ask if there is anything else that Lu Wantang can't play?]

[The above, don’t forget that Lu Wantang is also a good singer and can write lyrics and compose music. She is so versatile, a genius girl]

[Alas, I deeply feel that I am here to make up the numbers]

[Looking at my useless hands, forget it, at least I can use them to eat QAQ]

[With this appearance, even if Lu Wantang can't do anything, I still like her! ]

……

When everyone was amazed and praised the song, the piano sound of the song's prelude had already sounded.

The song title also appeared on the screen.

——"Dongfeng Po"

Below the song title, there is also the poem "Dielianhua·Farewell to Spring" written by Su Shi.

Lu Wantang added this in order to help the audience better understand the song.

The line "I bid farewell to spring with my white hair and get drunk, the east wind blows away thousands of tears" is the origin of the song's title. The background of this poem and the emotions it wants to express also fit with the song.

While everyone was still savoring the poem, the sound of the guzheng at the beginning of the song had already begun.

Along with it came Lu Wanxing's gentle singing:

'A lonely lamp stands at the window'

'I'm behind the door pretending you're still here'

'Revisiting the old place makes it even lonelier under the full moon'

'The candlelight awake at midnight cannot bear to blame me'

With just a few words, the painful and sad scene of parting is outlined, like a miniature poem flowing between notes, full of poetic beauty.

Everyone thought that Lu Wanxing would be able to sing more difficult songs, and that he was suitable for singing such songs, but unexpectedly, the brother and sister once again did not play by the rules.

And Lu Wanxing's performance was as good as ever.

'It's hard to swallow a pot of wandering around the world'

'After you left, the wine warmed my memories and my longing for you became thin'

'Water flows eastwards, how can time be stolen'

'The flowers bloom and mature once, but I missed it'

The camera occasionally swept across the figure of Lu Wantang playing the guzheng, attracting many people's attention.

Perhaps, after this performance, more and more people will learn the Guzheng like the Pipa.

The graceful sound of the pipa and the melancholy sound of the guzheng interweave into a soul-stirring poem, which complements Lu Wanxing's gentle voice.

The addition of percussion instruments makes the song more vibrant and modern. The fusion of modern and classical elements seems extremely clear at this moment.

Many people on the judges' panel subconsciously sat up straight, wanting to listen more carefully and attentively to the rest of the song.

As the pipa played, the chorus rang in everyone's ears:

'Who is playing the song Dong Feng Po on the Pipa?'

'Years peel off the wall and I see my childhood'

'I still remember that year when we were still very young'

'And now the sound of the piano is faint, you have never heard my waiting'

Traditional instruments, electronic beats, and a slightly deep voice combine to create a beautiful song.

When hearing this passage, the first reaction of countless people was "good". Even the judges were no exception.

'Who is playing the song Dong Feng Po on the Pipa?'

'The maple leaves color the story, and I see through the ending'

'I'll lead you along the ancient path outside the fence'

'In these wild and overgrown years, even breakups are silent'

The song combines the artistic conception of classical poetry with modern pop music elements such as piano and electronic mixed voice, giving people a feeling that is both traditional and fashionable.

This song makes people feel as if they are in a beautiful ink painting, and they can empathize with the song's sadness of parting, the feeling of the passing of time, and childhood memories.

Objectively speaking, this song seems less suitable for competition than "Drunken Red Cliff" and is not difficult to sing.

But again, the college league is not just a singing competition, songwriting is very important.

The creation of "Dong Feng Po" can completely make up for the lack of "competitiveness" and even increase the score.

The interlude of the song uses piano and erhu as a background, which enriches the layering of the melody, and the erhu makes the atmosphere even more desolate.

'It's hard to swallow a pot of wandering around the world'

……

'The flowers bloom and mature once, but I missed it'

Many of the judges, who had come to their senses at this point, analysed the melody of the song, using the traditional pentatonic scale.

This scale gives the music a very distinct national character.

The extensive use of dotted rhythm in the melody imitates the usual jumping feeling of ancient songs that have not been passed down, which makes the song full of ancient charm.

Before Shengnian, I analyzed the ancient style songs mentioned by Zigui and Lu Wantang, and summarized several points: the style of the songs is traditional folk songs, the traditional pentatonic scale is used in the creation, traditional Chinese instruments are added in the arrangement, and ancient poetry sentences are used in the lyrics.

Regardless of the proportion of the above points in the song, this song can be called an ancient style song in a broad sense.

And this song "Dong Feng Po" meets all the requirements.

'Who is playing the song Dong Feng Po on the Pipa?'

……

'And now the sound of the piano is faint, you have never heard my waiting'

Lu Wanxing's singing seems to be telling an ancient and beautiful story, filled with a touch of sadness and an elusive melancholy.

'Who is playing the song Dong Feng Po on the Pipa?'

……

……

'In these wild and overgrown years, even breakups are silent'

The imitation and repetition techniques in the melody make the song more layered and coherent, and the emotions gradually reach a climax. The audience can deeply feel the connotation of the song through the repeated melody.

Not to mention the lyrics.

Poetic expressions always have a unique charm. Even though the people of Blue Star have not been exposed to much classical poetry, they can still appreciate that unique beauty.

The erhu and piano in the finale left the listeners wanting more.

Especially the appearance of the erhu sound, which makes people applaud the creator's arrangement!

The singing and music gradually faded away, and the scene fell into silence.

It was not until half a minute later that applause broke out from all directions like a tide.
