Chapter 300: Playing the piano requires a sense of ritual.
It's very embarrassing to say.
In fact, the term Eastern aesthetics was not brought to the world by Chinese people at the beginning.
Pushing forward 15 years, we have reached the "golden" era when Eastern aesthetics truly entered the world. But unfortunately.
At that time, Chinese art could be said to be still in its infancy.
It was not until after the 2008 Olympic Games that Chinese art and culture truly entered the international stage on a large scale.
During this period.
It is the small days that define Eastern aesthetics and Eastern artistic thinking.
As much as I don't want to admit it, it's true.
The serious arts in my childhood were indeed very developed, including music, literature, and fine arts. Moreover, because the cultural circle is deeply influenced by China.
After the war, people knelt down to recognize their father and received support. Culture, art, and entertainment all began to develop and soon came to the world stage, showing Westerners an "oriental charm."
After this.
When almost all foreign artists talk about oriental aesthetics, the representatives they think of are all young people.
But can Xiaoli really represent Eastern aesthetics? Or.
Is this kind of thing about my childhood a serious Eastern aesthetic? Obviously not.
It can even be said directly that it is bullshit.
It is undeniable that there have been many true masters.
But it is undeniable that my childhood has always been very hellish, and most of my brain circuits are abnormal, and extremely abnormal.
Moreover, since I was a child after the war, I was deeply influenced by the West.
The little understanding of Xiaozhi not only does not represent the true oriental aesthetics, but also a kind of "evil" paranoid approach.
This is true for the entire Eastern culture and art context.
Especially for the Chinese people who created it with their own hands and developed oriental aesthetics.
Such transgression is undoubtedly a shame.
Li Jinglin himself believed so firmly.
Therefore, although Little Life has brought some Eastern aesthetics to the world, Li Jinglin believes that that does not count.
At least not all.
Nowadays, what Li Jinglin wants to do is naturally to let the founder of Eastern aesthetics tell the world what the real Eastern aesthetics is like.
This is a very deep philosophical thinking.
It is not the aesthetic thinking that can be represented by doing some ninja warriors in my childhood.
Of course, development is also very rapid and smooth.
In the past two years, in major international competitions, there have been fewer and fewer young players who are declining day by day.
However, there are more and more Chinese players who are developing rapidly.
The grievances experienced by our predecessors such as "being asked if it was a small life" and "Chinese people are not good" have long since ceased to exist.
There is quite a situation in which "the subordinates overstepped their bounds" developed into the fact that "everyone returned to their proper place".
Just like this competition.
The music is all Western music, and the instruments are also Western instruments.
but.
Liu Chenyang starts from the fundamental difference in thinking and expresses it according to the aesthetics of Eastern thinking.
It expresses a completely different flavor from the same piece of music that has been played badly.
Very similar to Li Jinglin.
But still very different.
This naturally surprised the judges.
It has also made many people look at Eastern aesthetics from another perspective.
In the field of art, with the development, the more similar things happen, then these Westerners will be able to truly realize the breadth of Eastern art, and they will also be able to understand more intuitively that Eastern aesthetics and Eastern spirit are never the same thing. Ninja brawl, seppuku bushido.
"Brother, that's not bad."
After Liu Chenyang returned to the players' backstage lounge, Xu Xin walked up and patted Liu Chenyang on the shoulder.
"."
Liu Chenyang's eyelids twitched.
"Do you really think of yourself as a sister?"
"Then I must be your sister."
Xu Xin waved her hand.
Today's Xu Xin seems to be a lot more outgoing because of her nervousness and excitement. She looks like a cold goddess. There is no such thing as a cold goddess, she is just like a Valkyrie.
When his eyes met Xu Xin's, Liu Chenyang had no doubt that the beautiful girl in front of him had enough fighting spirit to perform a wave of tearing up a brown bear with her hands.
"."
Although Liu Chenyang is a boy, Xu Xin is a girl.
But Liu Chenyang knows that his music style is more narrative-oriented, while Xu Xin's emotions are more delicate, which also leads to a considerable gap in the emotional fluctuations of musical language.
And the music of the Paganini Violin Competition.
Basically it's all "untitled" music.
There is no narrative or emotion, it is just a pure show of skills and technical expression.
But in fact, because there is no story or emotion, when dealing with it, you can see more clearly a person's abilities and style characteristics in these aspects.
Coincidentally.
This kind of show off skills.
It's the most exciting.
If Xu Xin is at full strength, this delicate expression can greatly enhance the emotionality of the music. In this case, such delicacy can easily turn into passion in complex and virtuosic tracks.
Then it evolves further into aggression.
Liu Chenyang glanced at Xu Xin.
People are different.
Xu Xin can't learn her own style, and she can't learn Xu Xin's style either.
At this time, Liu Chenyang remembered what Li Jinglin said when he was teaching Xu Xin something about this competition.
"What are you learning skills for? To enjoy yourself?" "It must be to defeat the boss!"
"Does the skill have to do high damage? No, the first thing is the mechanism, and then the coolness!"
"Don't think about how I beat him to death, but think about how I beat him to death in a flashy and pleasing way."
After the skills are condensed, Xu Xin's improvement direction is how to turn these skills into flowers and show strong aggression, so that the music has a very strong aggressive ability in the direction of appeal.
Seems rough.
It's actually more subtle.
Therefore, Xu Xin, who is more delicate, is very suitable for such development.
Of course, Liu Chenyang's expression became weird when he thought of this.
Li Jinglin. It was an accident.
After all, both of them learned everything from Lao Li.
He seems to know everything and is very proficient, and these abilities will not affect the display and development of his own style.
Outrageous, but reasonable.
Because people are different.
"Huh? Is that person a player?"
is thinking.
Liu Chenyang's eyes inadvertently fell on a person who was dressed very "unsportingly".
He's a dark-skinned one.
Take out a piano from the piano case.
He carefully took it out with great treasure, applied rosin to the bow very delicately.
It was as if some sacred ritual was being performed.
This attitude is very eye-catching.
"."
Liu Chenyang just looked at it and couldn't help but scratch his head.
I couldn't help but think about it in my heart.
[Sure enough, playing the piano requires a sense of ritual! 】
After doing this.
Brother Hei took the violin and walked onto the stage.
"Huh? Is this a player?"
Liu Chenyang was stunned.
It is different from other contestants wearing formal clothes.
This player was wearing the most ordinary clothes and even looked a little shabby.
soon.
Play begins.
As soon as Brother Hei's piano sounded, Liu Chenyang couldn't help but frown.
Because he was born as an ordinary person.
Liu Chenyang was extremely sensitive to the sound quality of this piano.
After all, when I was learning piano as a child, my family couldn’t afford any particularly high-end piano.
The 2000-yuan practice piano was used until I went to college. It was only after I was admitted to college that I bought a [-]-yuan piano.
Then I used it as a treasure until graduation.
With the scholarships saved over the past few years and some subsidies, Liu Chenyang rented a piano worth six figures for a long time and purchased insurance for it.
Then come and compete.
It is because of this experience.
Therefore, Liu Chenyang is really sensitive to the sound quality of the famous pianos that cost tens of thousands or more, ranging from ordinary pianos worth several thousand to tens of thousands, to high-end pianos priced at tens of thousands and over 10,000.
At this time, after listening to a few performances, Liu Chenyang could say with absolute certainty.
This nigger’s piano doesn’t cost more than 2 yuan.
And, this is the current price.
This violin is not new at first glance, it has been used a lot.
Over the years, purchasing power and market changes, coupled with the appreciation of violin values, the sound quality will continue to improve over time. I'm afraid that when this black guy bought it, the price of this piano couldn't exceed five figures.
This number seems high.
But in fact, in this context, it is quite outrageous.
Come on, this is the top international competition.
The pianos in the hands of the players all cost less than [-].
Even someone with a low reputation and poor family conditions would not use a piano worth less than [-] yuan.
I am now strong enough to participate in the Paganini Competition.
Some people will sponsor better pianos. As a top outstanding student, no matter where you go to school, there will be teachers or some brokerage companies willing to invest in buying you a better piano.
Even if you don’t buy it, MD will still be able to borrow it! Even if you are afraid of society, you will not come to the competition with a piano worth no more than [-] yuan.
Whether renting, borrowing, gifting or buying. Even if you have no money.
But for these players who are completely talented and capable, it is not difficult at all.
"who is this?"
Liu Chenyang couldn't help but become curious.
"I don't know. What's wrong?"
Xu Xin was also a little confused and scratched her head.
"Don't you think the sound quality of his piano is a bit average?"
After hearing what Liu Chenyang said, Xu Xin immediately noticed it.
He couldn't help being slightly stunned and spoke in surprise.
"When you said that, I realized that the resonance of this piano is indeed a bit rubbish, right?"
