Soon, it was twenty-two o 'clock sharp. All the preparations had been completed. After the audience received their signatures, they sat down obediently.
The on-site director shouted, "Begin."
"Thank you everyone for tuning in to CCTV and watching our Life of Arts interview program. Central TV's drama 'Kangxi the Great' will premiere tomorrow night during prime time. Our program is very honored to have invited a few of the main creators. Director Chen Qingqing, Teacher Huang Peiqi, who plays Kangxi, Teacher Lee Hoon, Teacher Xia Chengfeng, Princess Zhao Wanqing, and Xiao Yunhai, who we just met. Let us welcome them with a warm round of applause. "
The audience below consciously clapped their hands to welcome him.
This interview program was mainly to promote 'Kangxi the Great', so everyone talked about some interesting things that happened at the scene, causing everyone to laugh.
Xiao Yunhai sat there quietly and listened carefully. Twenty minutes later, the topic finally turned to the theme song of Kangxi the Great.
"Director Chen, I heard that you posted a 400,000 song selection on the Internet and created a record."
"That's right. In the end, it was won by that kid, Yunhai. Not 400,000, but 800,000. I had already chosen the ending song, but who knew that the song he came up with was so good, so I could only use his. So, the two songs cost 800,000. "
"Then I would like to ask. Student Xiao, I heard that you are a student of the Yenching Film Institute and are classmates with Zhao Wanqing. Who taught you music? How did you write such a magnificent song? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "My mother is a music teacher, and my father is a language teacher. I have been learning under their influence since I was young. It can be considered a small achievement. Later, I became interested in movies and got admitted to the Yenching Film Institute. "
Zhao Wanqing, who was beside him, interjected, "Wait a minute, let me interrupt. Xiao Yunhai was the top scorer of the college entrance examination in Henan Province. At that time, it caused a huge sensation in our school."
"Wow." The audience exclaimed.
"That can't be. The top scorer of the college entrance examination didn't go to Tsinghua University or Peking University, but actually applied to a film academy. That's too willful. "
"As far as I know, those who enter the Film Academy, other than those rich second-generation heirs who want to pick up girls, are just a bunch of good-looking guys and pretty girls with mediocre grades. I've never heard of a college entrance exam top scholar entering the Film Academy."
"Why didn't such a big thing spread out back then?"
Xiao Yunhai cast a grateful look at Zhao Wanqing. He knew that Zhao Wanqing was deliberately helping him by adding luster to him so that people would have a deeper impression of him.
Xu Jun was also very surprised and said, "That's amazing. No wonder he could write such magnificent lyrics. I heard that Director Chen asked you to write another song. It's called 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion,' right? "
"That's right."
"I remember that 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion' was written by the ancient calligrapher Wang Xizhi. How did you think of writing such a song?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I've always been fond of music and calligraphy ever since I was able to understand things. My father asked me to copy 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion' when I was young. A few days ago, when Director Chen asked me to write a new song, I suddenly had an idea. I wanted to use a modern element to interpret 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion' and the ancient culture of Hua Xia! Thus, 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion' was born. People treat 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion' as a classic in the calligraphy world, but I see it as a love story. "
Xiao Yunhai's words were pure nonsense.
'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion' was a collaboration between Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan in his previous life. Jay Chou's music and Fang Wenshan's lyrics made the song an eternal classic.
It was also that year that it went directly to the Spring Festival Gala. Jay Chou sang and Lin Zhiling danced. Their chemistry left a deep impression on the audience, and they won first place in the singing and dancing category.
Xu Jun said in surprise, "I didn't expect 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion' to be a love story in your eyes. That's really surprising. Does anyone want to hear it? "
"Yes."
"Alright then, let's invite Xiao Yunhai to perform 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion' for us."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then please wait for me for a while. I need to go backstage to change my clothes."
After Xiao Yunhai went down, Xu Jun chatted with the film crew for a while.
Five minutes later, a staff member told Xu Jun that Xiao Yunhai was ready.
Xu Jun smiled and said, "Then let's begin."
As soon as Xu Jun said that, the stage of the Life of Literature and Art instantly fell into darkness. The audience below the stage could only see that a few people seemed to be busy with something.
After a while, a beam of light suddenly lit up and hit Xiao Yunhai, who had just come out from backstage.
At that moment, Xiao Yunhai had already changed into a green robe worn by ancient scholars. He wore a scholar's hat on his head. He held a glass of wine in his left hand and a brush in his right. He came to an antique table.
This was what he had asked Chen Qingqing to prepare earlier. The efficiency of CCTV was indeed high, and they quickly prepared the things that Xiao Yunhai wanted.
As for the original items on the stage, they were moved away by the staff in the dark and replaced with a table.
As for Xu Jun, Chen Qingqing, and company, they had already left.
Xiao Yunhai's face was as calm as water. He had a slight smile on his face.
When he saw the white paper on the table, he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass before placing it aside. He dipped the brush in his right hand into the ink and wrote stroke by stroke. His eyes were very focused.
Such a simple scene instantly brought the audience to the atmosphere of ancient times.
In just a short while, the melancholic melody of 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion' slowly sounded. Xiao Yunhai seemed to hear something as his eyes fell into a daze. He put down the brush in his hand and walked to the center of the stage.
He began singing the first line of the lyrics.
"Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, the semi-cursive script is as smooth as flowing water. When the moon pushes the door open, the heart is as meticulous as your footsteps. Hurried, the millennium monument is easy to paint, but it's difficult to paint your beauty. Authentic works are lost. Who can the heart be given to?
When the lyrics came out, everyone below the stage was shocked.
"Damn, what kind of lyrics are these? Why do they feel different from ordinary lyrics? "
"What detailed lyrics. He seems to have reversed the order of the sentences. But it sounds very pleasing to the ear. "
"This seems to be a form of music that has never been seen before. The instruments used and the way the lyrics are written are very mysterious. "
Xiao Yunhai's first line of lyrics made everyone's eyes light up. They pricked up their ears and listened carefully to his lyrics.
The audience in front of the TV who knew about Hua Xia culture was even more amazing. They quickly took a pen and paper and listened to the lyrics while writing crazily.
Chen Huan, who had already returned home and was watching TV, was a typical example.
