Chapter 98: A song of birds paying homage to the phoenix, stunning everyone (35)

"Among all musical instruments, the suona is the king. When the suona sounds, other instruments are just younger brothers."

"I am a music student. What you said before is indeed true. The suona can compete with a band. The sound of the suona can be heard from thousands of meters away. When I was practicing the clarinet, eight people playing clarinets could not block the sound of the suona."

"Brother Su, can you play it? How about showing us a performance?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I want to see Brother Su play it."

The audience in the live broadcast room immediately started to make a noise, and they all wanted Su Ran to perform the suona.

If it was any other musical instrument, Su Ran might have hesitated, but he used to play the suona secretly when he was a child.

And under the influence of his grandfather, Su Ran also learned a lot.

"Grandpa is still sleeping. It's easy to wake him up if you blow the whistle here."

Having said that, Su Ran cleaned the suona and went straight up the mountain.

After finding an open area, Su Ran picked up the suona and prepared to perform: "I haven't played it for a long time, so I may not be very familiar with it. Please bear with me."

Netizens were amused.

"It's okay as long as Brother Su doesn't send us away."

"When the suona sounds, life and death are unpredictable. Come on, Brother Su."

The most famous piece of suona music is "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix". This piece of music tells the story of hundreds of birds coming to pay tribute to the phoenix after it died.

Because the tune is cheerful and the name sounds festive, it is played at both weddings and funerals.

Because he had played it so many times, Su Ran was most familiar with this piece, so he planned to play this piece: "I'll play a piece of Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix for everyone. I'm more familiar with it, and I'm afraid you won't be used to other pieces."

Upon hearing this, there was an uproar in the live broadcast room.

"Ah? So Brother Su really intends to send us away."

"Okay, okay, once the suona sounds, life and death are unpredictable. Once this song sounds, my parents have raised me in vain."

"But can Brother Su really do it? A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix is ​​a king-level score. The scores currently circulated have all been adapted by the famous master Mr. Zhang. Even the older generation of suona players find it difficult to play it well."

Su Ran looked at the comments on the smartwatch screen and nodded: "Well, this song is indeed difficult. I will try my best."

The song "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" is divided into three parts.

The first part describes the scene where the phoenix is ​​about to be reborn and hundreds of birds come to mourn. It is usually played after a person dies.

The second part depicts the phoenix being reborn from the fire and hundreds of birds celebrating. This part is often played when a child is one month old.

The third part shows the lively scene of the phoenix about to take off and hundreds of birds coming to congratulate it. This part is often played at weddings.

It can be said that the three parts together interpret a person's life.

This is also the reason why it is said that one can play a suona for a lifetime.

Su Ran had already put the whistle in his mouth and started to play it.

As the first compact and bright sound rang out, many netizens were suddenly surprised.

There seemed to be a constant echo of sorrow in the ears, lingering for only a few seconds, and the audience seemed to be drawn into an extremely sad mood.

It was as if I had witnessed a phoenix falling from a great height into the lava. I wanted to intervene, but I was powerless and could only feel heartbroken.

The phoenix's cries seemed to be constantly ringing in their ears, and for a moment they couldn't tell whether it was the phoenix crying or themselves.

"Just now my mother came over and suddenly asked me why I was crying, and then I realized that I was crying for no apparent reason."

"Brother Su, you are too strong. I don't know why, but when I heard half of it, I suddenly recalled my grandfather's funeral."

"Brother in front, you just thought of your grandfather, but now I really straightened my legs and just want to close my eyes quietly."

"Give me a coffin, I'm terribly strong now!"

"It's absolutely amazing, so touching, there really are many masters among the people!"

"Brother Su, can you die after me? Because I want you to play this song at my funeral."

The music continued, and it was now the second part of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", and the phoenix began its nirvana.

Compared with the previous ones, the rhythm of this music has become faster, which makes people worry about whether Phoenix can be successfully reborn.

As the tempo of the music got faster and faster, netizens even started scratching their ears and cheeks in anxiety.

Until the music started to become cheerful, the tension in the audience's hearts finally loosened.

Although the tone of the big suona is not as light as that of the small suona, its deep and powerful feeling seems to strike deep into the soul.

The sound of birds singing is so soothing!
"It's over. Did I eat some poisonous mushrooms? I feel like I can hear all kinds of bird calls in the music."

"Yes, it's as if these birds are flying vividly beside my ears."

Looking at Su Ran playing in the forest in the camera, the audience seemed to see different kinds of birds flying past them.

However, the next moment, Su Ran's music actually attracted the birds in the forest, and they chirped among the branches and echoed Su Ran.

This song reaches a whole new height at this moment!

After the song ended, netizens' hearts were still restless because of the ups and downs that had just happened.

"Brother Su really almost sent me away, but it was so good that I fainted."

"You are so strong, my brother. You are simply my god."

"Brother Su, you graduated from Berklee. Your understanding of music is simply too high!" The live broadcast room was filled with praises and gifts.

At this moment, Su Ran's eyes fell on a white-browed flycatcher on a branch.

This particularly beautiful bird was tilting its head and staring at Su Ran curiously.

Their eyes met, Su Ran stretched out his hand, and the White-browed Flycatcher spread its wings and landed lightly on his palm.

Su Ran gently stroked its head and said with a smile, "This is a white-browed flycatcher, a national second-class protected animal. The little guy is very pretty, and its body color is mainly composed of black, white and yellow."

"Especially the yellow, which is quite a beautiful yellow."

The White-browed Flycatcher responded to Su Ran, rubbing its head against his fingers and closing its eyes, enjoying it immensely.

Netizens were fascinated by it.

"Not only is she good-looking, but her name is also so nice."

"I didn't expect that Brother Su's suona music could attract such a beautiful second-class protected animal. Brother Su, you are amazing."

Su Ran's performance was reposted online by netizens and received a lot of likes.

It even attracted the attention of Zhou Yongli, a performer from the National Chinese Orchestra.

Watching the video, Zhou Yongli exclaimed inwardly: "This piece of music, Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, really captures the essence of the song."

"Although there are some obvious flaws in his playing skills, and it's obvious that he hasn't received professional training, what would happen if such a rough gem was carefully polished?"

This legendary musician came to Su Ran's live studio and asked, "Brother, I really like your performance of Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. I see endless possibilities in you."

"I don't know if you are willing to come and study with me. I am willing to accept you as my last disciple!"

Some students from the music academy quickly recognized Zhou Yongli. They didn't expect that this master of traditional Chinese music would come to the live broadcast room to accept disciples? !
"My goodness, isn't this the professor from Xinghai Conservatory of Music?"

"So awesome?"

"That's nothing. He is not only a professor at the Conservatory of Music, but also a national-level performer. He is truly a master of Chinese music!"

"They rarely even appear on the Spring Festival Gala. It's not that they can't, but they don't want to."

“Generally, you either perform in an opera house for the general public, or you perform in a national venue.”

"We music students never dared to dream that we could enter Xinghai Conservatory of Music and become Mr. Zhou's students one day. I never thought that Brother Su could become Mr. Zhou's apprentice directly!"

"My eyes are bloodshot with envy!"

"I'm very envious, but I also think that this is what Brother Su deserves, because he really deserves to be Master Zhou's apprentice!"

After reading the introduction in the barrage, other viewers also learned who Zhou Yongli was, and couldn't help but marvel that Master Su had such an honor.

"How about it, Xiao Su, are you willing to study Chinese music under me?"

Zhou Yongli asked again. He valued talent and wanted to recruit Su Ran, this precious gem, into his team!

However, under the envious gazes of countless music students, Su Ran gave an unexpected answer.

He just smiled calmly and said, "I am honored to receive your kindness, Mr. Zhou. It's a pity that I am not interested in this."

With just one sentence, Su Ran gave up an opportunity that was within his reach but out of reach in the eyes of others.

Before Zhou Yongli came, he had gotten to know Su Ran. He knew that he was a person who pursued a simple life and did not care about fame and fortune, so he was relieved about his decision.

"I won't force you to do that. If you ever need professional training to improve yourself, just come to me. The door to the National Music Hall is always open to you!"

Zhou Yongli left the live broadcast room, and then a group of viewers rushed to post comments.

"Brother Su is really blessed by God. This is something you can't envy."

"I dare say that if Su Shen is willing, he can become Master Zhou's disciple in a few years and have the same reputation as pianist Lang Lang!"

"Well, Su Shen is a master in any field. Maybe he really just treats playing as a hobby."

This seems to be true. If fans didn't happen to want Su Ran to show off his skills, no one would have known that Su Ran is so good at playing the suona.

The story about Su Ran spread on the Internet, and attracted a lot of attention to this anchor who is highly regarded by Chinese music masters.

After one night, Su Ran woke up in the morning to find that the number of followers of his account had increased to one million.

It might take others less than a year or even several years to gain a million followers, but it took Su Ran less than a day to gain a million followers.

I don’t know how many people envy this.

Early in the morning, after finishing his breakfast, Su Ran started his day's work.

"Today, Grandpa is going to fertilize the corn seeds planted in the fields. This will provide the corn with the necessary nutrients to promote their growth and high yield."

"As for me, I have to start patrolling the mountains."

At this time of year, more and more people are moving around Beilinhai.

The main reason is that many people like the scenery near Beilinhai, and there are a lot of cars coming and going on the winding mountain road.

Either they come here to take pictures or they come for a spring outing.

As more people come, the possibility of discovering safety hazards becomes greater.

So the responsibilities of the forest ranger are reflected at this time.
