Entertaining Children

Chapter 50 The Original Scenery of Hometown

This Wu Le is not a celebrity, and he doesn't have such a strong sense of variety show and experience in dealing with such situations. A little teasing is almost enough, and he can't really embarrass him too much.

Wang Yuan turned the topic to the musical instrument in Wu Le's hand and said, "Tell us about the musical instrument in your hand."

Speaking of the guy in his hands, Wu Le finally became happy, and introduced with a smile: "This musical instrument is called a ukulele, and it is the most popular musical instrument in Hawaii. According to its classification, it belongs to the family of guitar instruments. , so some people call it the little Hawaiian guitar..."

Wu Le introduced the ukulele's origin, classification, popular areas, timbre characteristics, playing skills and other characteristics, basically gave a comprehensive explanation of this instrument, and finally left it to Wu Le to play the dazzling technology time. Xiao Yao has to admit that, no matter in terms of proficiency or skill, this Wu Le can completely explode his current self.

After Wu Le, the next person who came forward was Chen Wen holding a banjo. He also introduced the banjo according to the aspects that Wu Le introduced to the ukulele. Of course, live performance is also indispensable. Even if he doesn't play banjo, Xiao Yao can't judge his technical level, but since he can be recruited by the program team, he must be a master in this field.

After the introduction of Western musical instruments, the following are the two girls holding traditional Chinese musical instruments. The two girls took longer than the two young men. The interesting coincidence that Miss Liu was holding Ruan and Miss Ruan was holding Liu~qin was enough for the host to tease for a while.

After the introduction and performance of the four people on stage, Wang Yuan turned his attention to Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao and his son on the other side of the stage. He said to the two: "You father and son can also play musical instruments, do you want to come up and try?"

Xiao Yao shook his head, and whispered to Xiao Siqi: "Ukulele is not necessary, the other three are still too big for me, Dad, go try it."

"Okay." Xiao Siqi nodded with a smile, and walked to the center of the stage.

Coming to the center of the stage, Xiao Siqi said to the crowd: "Ba Yi said that apart from the ukulele, these three things are still too big for him, and it is difficult for him to reach them, so I will try it alone."

Everyone thought about it, so they didn't force Xiao Yao. Several people took turns to communicate with Xiao Siqi in low voices, and roughly talked about some playing skills and the corresponding grades of each scale on the neck. It’s better that the ukulele and banjo belong to the same category of guitars. Xiao Siqi is a big man who plays the Liuqin and Ruan of the pipa category. The guitars are also quite different, and Xiao Siqi's playing is very awkward, but everyone is quite happy to see it.

Several hosts made fun of Xiao Siqi's funny manner of playing Liuqin and Ruan, and let Xiao Siqi return to Xiao Yao's side. After thanking the four people for their performance, after the four returned to the backstage, the five hosts began to invite the next group of guests.

Wang Yuandao: "These instruments just now only need to be used by hands, but there are some instruments that need to be used in addition to hands."

Andy, as the second host, immediately answered, "Is that what you said?" Then, Andy held the microphone with both hands, covered the microphone to his mouth, and played an impromptu B-box.

"Although your mouth can also be used as a musical instrument, you only need to move your mouth, so why do you need to use your hands? Brother Yuan is definitely not talking about this." Liu Yang was the first to stand up and retort.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Of course. What we showed just now are all plucked string instruments, which only use hands but not mouth. What I'm talking about is wind instruments." Then he turned his head and asked Several companions around said: "When it comes to playing wind instruments, what do you think of?"

"Harmonica." Li Xian, who had never spoken much, was the first to answer this time.

"Well, this is." Wang Yuan nodded.

"small,

Trombone, French horn. "Andy said three things in one breath.

"Saxophone, clarinet." Liu Yang took over.

"It's all from foreign countries, but our country also has trumpets and suonas." Xu Bo said with contempt for the other three.

"Well, what you said is good, all of them." Wang Yuan said, "But the instrument we are going to invite next is also a wind instrument, but you didn't agree with any of them. Next, we will invite our guest to appear. "

Amid the sound of music, a middle-aged man in his forties came up from the backstage. The middle-aged man walked straight to the center of the stage with empty hands and a headset on his head. He slightly bowed and introduced himself, "Hi everyone, I'm Cao Zhongyun."

"Is this the end?" The music stopped, Wang Yuan came up first and asked Cao Zhongyun, "Mr. Cao, where is your instrument?"

Cao Zhongyun smiled, pointed to the side of the stage and said: "There, here, here we come." Accompanied by Cao Zhongyun's voice, a staff member pushed up a small trolley, on which there were many ceramic musical instruments .

"Wow, there are so many." Liu Yang and the others were surprised.

"It looks like a lot, but in fact there are only two types." Cao Zhongyun smiled and pointed to the musical instruments on the cart, "The ones here are all ocarinas, and the ones over there are all xuns. It's just that there are some differences in specifications and shapes." .”

Wang Yuan took advantage of the situation and said: "Let me introduce, Mr. Cao is a maker and performer of ceramic wind instruments, and he is also a music creator of this type of instrument, so he can be said to be an expert in this field."

Cao Zhongyun cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Thank you, thank you."

After everyone below finished marveling, Wang Yuan continued to ask Cao Zhongyun: "Did you do all of these by yourself?"

"Uh... most of them are." Cao Zhongyun paused for a moment, pointing to a few of them and said, "I didn't make these, but because of their more interesting appearance, I collected them and brought them for everyone to see. It’s fresh. All I make myself are these more traditional looking ones.”

"Then please introduce us one by one." Wang Yuan left the center of the stage to Cao Zhongyun.

"The one here is the ocarina, which is a western musical instrument and was passed from abroad. This is also called the Ocarina flute, which is a literal translation of the English name Ocarina. The more common ones are six-hole and twelve-hole. In addition, there are seven, eight, nine holes and other holes, but relatively few. In terms of shape, the six-hole ocarina is mainly spherical or drop-shaped, and the twelve-hole ocarina mainly looks like this Submarines. And the other gun shapes, animal shapes, and plant shapes that you see are all different and fun.” Cao Zhongyun slowly introduced, and with his explanation, he will also correspond to the Pick up the ocarinas one by one and show them to everyone.

"After introducing the ocarina, here is our traditional Chinese musical instrument - Xun. The history of this instrument is very old, much longer than that of the ocarina. It is one of the oldest wind instruments in China. According to research It has a history of seven thousand years." Cao Zhongyun picked up the Xun on the other side and said to everyone: "In ancient times, the Xun mainly had six holes, but now it mainly has eight holes, and there are also some nine-hole and ten-hole Xun. Its shape Generally, there are more oval-shaped ones, but there are also many other special shapes. For example, this kind is a gourd xun, which looks like a gourd. The lady in the picture is made of the appearance of the lady. In addition to the shape, there is also a conjoined xun that connects two xuns. The two xuns of the same size are called mandarin ducks, and the ones with one big and one small are called zimu Xun..."

It took Cao Zhongyun a while to finish introducing the pile of ocarinas and xuns on the cart. According to the program, the following is the live performance. Just when Wang Yuan was about to ask Cao Zhongyun to demonstrate on the spot, Xiao Siqi beside him suddenly interrupted: "Brother Yuan, can you let Bayi try the ocarina."

"Ba Yi will play this?" Wang Yuan asked Xiao Siqi with a smile, "How many instruments have you taught him?"

"It's only three or four." Xiao Siqi replied, "But I don't know how to play the ocarina either. Bayi's ocarina is self-taught. I didn't know he could do it until the last time I filmed a show. Because there is no teacher, it is purely self-taught. , so I don’t know what his level is, but it happens that Mr. Cao is an expert in this field, so I want to take this opportunity to ask Mr. Cao to guide him.”

"So that's how it is. Of course it's fine for me to try it on August 1st, but when it comes to guidance..." Wang Yuan turned to Cao Zhongyun and said, "Mr. Cao, look..."

Cao Zhongyun came to participate in the recording of this program, so naturally he would not be ignorant of the celebrity guests on the same stage. When I learned about the profile of the celebrity guests, I was already deeply impressed by the father and son who have been on fire recently, especially this Xiao Yao who is known as the evildoer. Originally, he had the same doubts as some people on the Internet, thinking that it was a fake blow by the program group. But just now watching his verbal interaction with the host and his live performance of the ukulele in the background, he has already admitted in his heart that this is a real monster. Now that I heard that he can play the ocarina, he is still self-taught without a teacher. I am even more curious, so I naturally want to see it.

Seeing Cao Zhongyun nodding, Xiao Yao didn't hesitate, stood up immediately and walked over. Xiao Siqi saw his son enter the stage, so he naturally followed.

Xiao Yao picked up a six-hole ocarina and said, "Uncle Cao, my hands are too small to handle the twelve-hole ocarina. I only know six-hole ocarina."

"It's okay, whichever one you want to brag about." Cao Zhongyun smiled.

Xiao Yao nodded, brought the ocarina to his mouth and began to play. When it comes to regular ocarina music, Xiao Yao is most familiar with the song "The Original Scenery of Hometown". In front of Cao Zhongyun, an expert, Xiao Yao can't be fooled by other songs, so this time he played this one.

Together with the melodious voice, the scene gradually became quiet. This is a song that can easily calm people's impetuous emotions and immerse them in it. The last time Xiao Yao blew this piece was on the open grassland, and many unavoidable noises were mixed in it, which could calm the cows down. This time in a room with excellent acoustics, the audience was extremely quiet, and Andy held a microphone to amplify the ocarina, which made the emotional contagion even stronger.

After Xiao Yao finished playing the song, some audience members were so infected that their eyes were wet.

Wang Yuan is a very emotional person, and his eyes are a little red at this moment. In order to hide his gaffe, he deliberately asked Cao Zhongyun, "Mr. Cao, what is the name of this piece, and who is the author and performer? I have to find it and keep it."

The surprise on Cao Zhongyun's face turned into embarrassment, and he said embarrassingly: "This... I'm ignorant, and it's the first time I've heard this song."

"No way? Isn't such a beautiful piece unpublished? Where did Bayi learn it from?" Wang Yuan asked in surprise.

"Cough." Xiao Siqi coughed from the side.

"You wrote it?" Wang Yuan was even more surprised, "Aren't you a pop singer? You also write pure music? No, didn't you say you don't know how to play the ocarina? This is obviously a special piece for the ocarina."

"No, no," Xiao Siqi hurriedly said, "Of course I didn't write it, but it was written by someone I know. You know, the XY who collaborated with me on the two songs in my new album wrote it. That guy didn't want to When I showed up, I often threw some of his writings to me. This piece of music was mixed in a pile of music scores that XY gave me, and it was accidentally discovered by Bayi. He was learning ocarina by himself at that time, and saw this ocarina Qu, learn it."

"This father's lies are becoming smoother and smoother." Xiao Yao glanced at Xiao Siqi and said in his heart. But there is no way, he was also forced by himself.

Xiao Siqi continued: "After Bayi learned this piece, I played it twice in front of the camera. Except for this time, the last time was in the program "Where Are We Going, Dad" and it hasn't been broadcast yet, so Mr. Cao It's not normal to hear that."

"Oh, we turned out to be the second batch of listeners, but what I really want to know is who did Bayi play this piece for the first time?" Liu Yang asked curiously.

"Is this... a spoiler? It's not good for Director Wu to know?" Xiao Siqi looked at the live camera in embarrassment and said.

"It's okay. By the time we air this episode, you've already aired the two episodes of Grassland. There's nothing wrong with spoilers now. If it really doesn't work, we can cut it out later." Andy said.

"Well, Bayi played this piece for the first time, mainly for a group of cows." Xiao Siqi laughed.

"This...you might as well not spoil it!" Andy said bitterly.
