Chapter 464

As soon as the lights on the stage dim, the audience will know that Xiao Yao's performance is about to start. The scene soon quiets down, and they want to see and listen to how Xiao Yao's newly invented musical instrument is played and what the music sounds like.

The director group seemed to understand the audience's thoughts, so the rocker arm with a camera was slowly extended to the top of Xiao Yao's side, aiming at the musical instrument on Xiao Yao's leg and Xiao Yao's hands. At the same time, a close-up shot of the camera was cut out on the large screen, so that you can see clearly.

Before Xiao Yao began to play, the close-up on the big screen also let us see the specific appearance of the instrument... At least the upper part. Disc shape, with an upward arc, at first glance, it really looks like a metal pot cover. In the center of the circle, there is a protruding point, and on the circle of the outer slope, there are seven smaller concave points.

"Ding ~" Xiao Yao's right hand moved, gently patted on the instrument, and there was a sound on the scene. At first, it sounds like the sound of a harp or a clock. On second thought, it sounds like a drop of water. Maybe it is because the instrument is obviously hollow, the sound resonates in the instrument, and it is directly tapped with the palm, so the sound not only sounds ethereal, but also soft and warm. Just the first sound, the audience were attracted.

"Ding, Dong, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding..." with Xiao Yao's hands constantly knocking at different positions on the instrument, different tones sounded in turn. When Xiao Yao's hands knocked with rhythm, the audience really heard the melody of the music from the pronunciation of the instrument.

With the rhythm of the melody playing faster, Xiao Yao's percussion action is also more light up. The audience with a little sharp eyes can see that although Xiao Yao is using his hands to knock, the parts he uses when he contacts the instrument with his hands are not the same. Sometimes he uses the palm of his hand, sometimes he uses his fingers, and sometimes he just uses the edge of his hand to pass by. It seems that Xiao Yao's hands are dancing on the musical instrument. The movement looks smooth and natural. With his freehand expression, the whole person is also full of unspeakable elegance.

"It's really a new musical instrument to play! It's not only the beautiful instruments, but also the beautiful movements, and the sound of the music is very comfortable. " Many audiences began to praise in their hearts, "Xiao Yao is really a musical genius for inventing such a new musical instrument! I'm really good at playing

Xiao Yao plays the song called "Yanyu Qingdai", which naturally comes from the previous life. It is from this song that sun Honglei played at the end of the previous TV play "good sir". Of course, the part played by sun Honglei in the TV series is only a part of the whole song, only more than one minute, which is certainly not enough for the length of stage performance. Therefore, Xiao Yao's performance is a complete version of nearly four minutes.

However, although Xiao Yao's four minute full version is equivalent to the length of an ordinary song, four minutes is not enough for the audience who first heard this kind of instrument playing. When Xiao Yao's performance is over, the light on the stage lights up, and Xiao Yao stands up with his hand. After listening to Xiao Yao's song, the audience immediately burst into a burst of intense applause and cheers. And in these applause and cheers, there are also a lot of audience "one more song", "one more time", "Encore" and other chaotic shouts.

It's a new year's Eve party, not a concert. All the programs are arranged and rehearsed in advance. It's impossible to add anything because of the audience's demands. So Xiao Yao is not affected by these shouts. Standing up, Xiao Yao just politely bowed to the audience to express his thanks. Then he left the stage with his handplate in the applause and shouts of the audience. At this new year's Eve party, he really didn't talk from beginning to end.

Xiao Yao, who doesn't have a singing program, can deliberately not speak on the stage, but when he gets off the stage and goes back to the rest room and dressing room backstage, Xiao Yao doesn't need to be mute all the time.

Because it's the first appearance of a new musical instrument, for the sake of confidentiality, Xiao Yao's program did not participate in the public rehearsal before the new year's Eve party. He only performed once to the program team while auditing the program. Because it is a solo show, and Xiao Yao's whole performance is just a white spotlight hit him, in addition to almost no other dance beauty effect to cooperate, so the program team agreed to his request not to participate in rehearsal. Therefore, in addition to Gong Chen, who has been with Xiao Yao during the preparation of the program, who has seen Xiao Yao's new musical instrument, other star artists participating in the new year's Eve party have never seen this new musical instrument.

Xiao Yao's performance of new musical instruments on the stage not only surprised the live audience off the stage, but also surprised many other star artists who watched the live broadcast in the backstage lounge. Therefore, when Xiao Yao returns to the backstage lounge to remove her make-up after her performance, other star artists who are very interested in Xiao Yao's new musical instrument knock on the door of Xiao Yao's lounge and want to have a "glimpse" of Xiao Yao's new musical instrument or try it out by hand.Xiao Yao's two programs, one is a masked performance, the other is still wearing a hat despite pulling down the mask, and there are not many faces exposed in front of the live camera lens. Nevertheless, Pei Minyi, who worked as Xiao Yao's personal make-up artist for the first time, carefully designed Xiao Yao's performance makeup. When Xiao Yao returned to the backstage lounge after his performance, Pei Minyi, who was enthusiastic about her work, pressed Xiao Yao in front of the make-up table for the first time, and immediately began to remove his makeup.

Pei Minyi just started to work here, and the door of Xiao Yao's lounge was knocked.

Because Pei Minyi is removing Xiao Yao's make-up, Fang, who is sitting on the sofa in the lounge and doing nothing, still gets up and opens the door. Fang is still acting as an agent and assistant. This new year's Eve is also with Xiao Yao. This is the first time that Xiao Yao has brought two people together to participate in the program. It looks like he has a "team" at last.

"Xu Yuan? Come in After Fang still opened the door of the rest room, he found Xu Yuan, who had finished the performance, standing outside. Although Fang still didn't go to the scene of "masked singer", before Xiao Yao helped them design mask clothes and rehearse songs and later the official recording, Fang still stayed together for a long time. They were already familiar with each other, so he generously let Xu Yuan in, "what's the matter?"

"Nothing special. I'm very curious about Xiao Yao's musical instrument just now, so I came to have a look." Xu Yuan said with a smile. Xu Yuan had played in a band before. Although she was the lead singer in the band and rarely played musical instruments, she could play musical instruments. When she saw Xiao Yao inventing a new musical instrument, she immediately ran over.

"It's on the sofa. Play by yourself. I'm taking off my make-up, so I won't take care of you. " Xiao Yao, who knew Xu Yuan's temperament, said with a big smile.

"Yes, thank you." Aiming at the hand dish on the sofa, Xu Yuan sat down on the sofa in the rest room impolitely, put the hand dish on his leg like Xiao Yao had just done, and put his hand on it and patted it gently.

Xu Yuan is really good at playing musical instruments. After trying for a while, she soon found several notes represented by different parts of the instrument and played a piece of music she knew at will. However, it was the first time for her to play. Her technique was far less skilled than Xiao Yao's, and her music didn't sound very smooth.

"Would you like to instruct you in technique?" Xiao Yao, who has finished his makeup, sits on the sofa beside Xu Yuan and looks at Xu Yuan Road, who is enjoying himself.

"Good," Xu Yuan nodded subconsciously at first, then raised his head and asked the question he was more concerned about, "is this instrument really what you think of?"

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded. "Li Hai just introduced it on the stage. Is there any fake

"How did you come up with that?" Xu Yuan then asked.

"It's just a flash of inspiration," Xiao Yao said with a smile. "Why don't you ask me how I wrote songs?"

"Can writing songs be the same as inventing musical instruments?" Xu Yuan said.

"Well, it's actually a knock on the drum." Xiao Yao said, "once I saw someone beating a drum with a waste oil drum on the street. It was not only rhythmic, but also different when it hit different parts. That's what inspired me."

"By the way, what's this hole for?" Xu Yuan turns the dish over and points to a hole in the center of the bottom.

"This is called" Gu ". Its structure is based on the principle of Helmholtz resonator, which can be used for tuning." Xiao Yao said.

"What is the Helmholtz resonator?" Xu Yuan continued.

It is not only a basic acoustic resonance system, but also a device for acoustic measurement using resonance phenomenon. Helmholtz was a German scientist in the 19th century. He was the first to use this kind of resonator to analyze the frequency components of sound, so he named it after him Xiao Yao asked with a smile, "do you want me to introduce you to the working principle of this kind of resonator?"

"Stop!" Xu Yuan quickly helped his forehead with one hand and stretched forward with the other hand to stop Xiao Yao from saying, "I know you are Xueba, but I have a headache when I hear the word" science. "

"In fact, I don't care about the principle," Xu Yuan continued. "What I want to know is that there are only two musical instruments in the world at present? Is it all in your hands? "

"There are only two, and they're all mine." Xiao Yao nodded and said, "although I know the principle, I don't have the technology to do it. I met an American expert in musical instrument making and material modeling by chance, and he helped me make it. Now he's back in America. Before he left, he made two pieces, and left them to me. "

"What about the other one? Can you sell it to me? " Xu Yuan said immediately.

"How do you like it?" Xiao Yaodao.

"I really like it." But I know some people will like it better. My teacher's birthday is coming. I want to give him this new musical instrument as a birthday gift. He will be very happy. "

"Miss Chen Huan?" Xiao Yaodao.

"Yes, I don't have any other teachers now." Xu Yuan nodded, "how about it? You keep one for yourself and sell me the other. You can tell me how much it costs. Since you're looking for someone else to make this instrument for you, there must be costs for materials and labor. I'll give you as much as it costs. I have absolutely no choice. ""The price is not a problem." Xiao Yao said with a bitter smile, "it's just that I've kept one of these two handplates myself, and the other one has been given to my father. You know, my dad was an instrument fan, too. "

"It's for my dad. I can't get it back. I know that the American musical instrument maker who helped me make this instrument has other things to do recently. I'm afraid he can't start making this instrument for me in a short time. Why don't you take this to me? " Xiao Yaodao.

"Ah ~" Xu Yuan sighed a little disappointed, then waved his hand and said, "forget it, gentlemen don't win people's favor. Teacher's gift, I'll think of another way. "

"Well, half a year at most. After half a year, I'll give you one." Xiao Yao is disappointed with Xu Yuandao. In half a year, the company in partnership with AK Robinson should start to run normally. It's a big deal. Just make an order for AK.

"So generous? Can you give me one, too? " With a voice, another man pushed the door into Xiao Yao's lounge.

"Teacher Sha Chau!" Xu Yuan and Xiao Yao stood up and said hello.

After Fang still opened the door and let Xu Yuan in, he just closed the door and didn't close it. When Shazhou came, he saw that the door was not closed, and he just heard Xiao Yao's words to Xu Yuan, so he pushed the door in directly.

"Is that what you're talking about?" Sha Chau pointed to the hand dish that Xu Yuan put aside with a smile and said, "I'm also very interested. Help me make one for fun."

"Yes." Xiao Yao laughed and then said, "but I can't make it. I have to find someone to make it. The master of this musical instrument is American. I can help you place an order at that time. The price of this thing is about 3000 US dollars. For the sake of our friendship, I don't need to accept your deposit. "

"So expensive?" Shazhou and Xuyuan were a little surprised.

"It's almost entirely hand-made, and there's no machine to make it." Xiao Yaodao.

"But why did Xu Yuan send it to me, and you began to charge?" Sha Chau pointed to Xiao Yao with a smile and said, "the difference is too obvious."

"Who made you not a beauty?" Fang still broke in with a smile.

"Color is more important than friends!" Shazhou stares at Xiaoyao road.

"You just know?" Fang still said with a smile, "we Xiao Yao have always been like this."

"Hey, you're my agent." Xiao Yao dissatisfied with the other side still said, "have you destroyed the image of their artists?"

"But you seem to be such an image." Sha Zhou touched his chin and nodded, "besides Chen Chen, have you ever written songs for other male singers?"

"Isn't my father a man?" Xiao Yao retorts.
