Chapter 630: She Can Dance
The banquet was more successful than expected, and the ball was held an hour after the banquet began, and at this time, the guests knew everything they should know, their stomachs were full, and those who wanted to leave also said goodbye one after another.
"We won't be involved in the next dance, thank you for your hospitality tonight, what a pity teacher."
Masako Natsukawa said goodbye to Meng Huo with her agent, Miss Suzuki, and the next dance party was a voluntary entertainment, and they seemed to have other things to do. And Meng Shu didn't stop him, but there were not many guests who left, and most of them were looking forward to this ball.
"Why don't you want to stand in the middle and jump in the middle?" Sasaki, the director of TV Tokyo, asked Meng Shu with a smile, standing in the middle meant dancing an ancient dance, Meng Shu naturally shook his head: "I don't know how to dance that dance, this opportunity is still left to others!" “
"Then the teacher is going to play the piano?" Sasaki looked pleased: "I have never heard the piano of Master He Xi live." ”
"It's a pity that the teacher's piano is playing very well, this time I was lucky!"
"Haha, I have long thought that the teacher can play the piano, and playing the piano is what the teacher is best at!"
Several people next to him also admired, and Meng Shu felt a little embarrassed: he hadn't thought about playing the piano either. However, looking at the natural anticipation on the faces of the guests next to him, he was suddenly embarrassed to say that he just wanted to be as casual as everyone else - if he did, these people must be unhappy.
The dance party hosted by the Phoenix Company, and as the center, He Xi actually danced with other people, it seems that there is something wrong with it - but this song Meng Shu has never played!
Of course, this kind of dance tune is not played casually, it has several fixed tunes. Meng Shu recalled in his heart that he had an amazing memory. The tune I listened to when I was learning to dance quickly became in my heart. Meng Shu hadn't read the composition, but he just remembered the melody. He can try to analyze it, and then turn it into music.
"Nothing seems to be a problem!" After a quick analysis, Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, he had listened to all these tunes, he was able to retell Huang Ye's tunes when he first learned the piano, and now it is not difficult to restore the songs with the memory of the previous few days.
"It's the first time I've played this kind of ancient song, so if you don't play it well, please don't mind."
Meng Shu nodded, which was regarded as agreeing to this matter. And Sasaki and the others couldn't help laughing, saying that he was humble. The venue of the dance was in another hall, and as the guests walked in one after another, Meng saw that the reporters had left their cameras and notes and other things for the service staff to keep safe.
Photography is not allowed at this dance, but this is not what Meng Shu meant, but it was ordered by TV Tokyo. Maybe it's because the dance party is prone to misunderstandings, and Meng Shu doesn't know why, but after he walked in, there was already a band playing at the scene. And around, some have already jumped.
The people who didn't jump stood around to rest, and Meng Huo saw the Takashima couple, but not Alice.
"Where's Alice?"
Meng Shu asked them curiously. The banquet had just come to an end, and he had sent a few important guests away, so he should have been here at the latest.
"She seems to have gone to change her clothes. I'll be there later. ”
Eiji Takashima said, and then greeted Sasaki and them. They were invited onto the dance floor.
"What a pity, teacher, do you know how to play these tunes?" After they are gone. Takashima Takako asked Meng Huo, and when they greeted him just now, Sasaki and they talked about Meng Shu's piano, but Takashima Takako hadn't heard of it beforehand, so he was a little worried: "These pieces need the cooperation of the orchestra, not piano solos." ”
This is an old song, to be precise, an ancient song that has been improved in modern times, and modern instruments such as the piano have been added to it, but it needs to be combined with other instruments to create a feeling. Meng listened to it for two minutes with his eyes closed, the music was the same as the one on the computer, and if he took the place of the piano player, the hardest thing would be to match the instruments of the rest of the band.
"No problem." But he still nodded, the style of this band is the same as that of a textbook, strictly speaking, it is a template, an orchestra that simply follows the music - just like a computer, the music is played well, but it is too standard, and it has no soul.
This kind of soulless, standard orchestra is the easiest to work with.
"Then I'll arrange it for you."
Takashima Takashima immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around to make arrangements. She told the hotel about it, and asked Meng to play a few tunes in the second half - although the hotel was puzzled, what the employer said was the truth, and the guests had no problem, so they naturally agreed without saying much.
There was still some time before the second half, and Meng Shu didn't have to wait long, and then he saw some strangely dressed people walking in. These are women, and they are women in period costumes.
"This is a maid's outfit!? Even the clothes are ready! "Han Concubine Dance, look at the dress, this is actually the Han Concubine Dance? "This dance party is fun!"
The hall suddenly became lively, Meng Shu was strange, Sasaki walked up to him, and said with a smile: "It's really rare, I didn't expect to see such an ancient dance lineup at this dance, I have never seen it on the scene in my life-what a pity teacher, do you know the meaning of this lineup?" ”
"Han Fei Dance ......"
Meng Shu frowned, he had never seen this lineup, but he had heard the word - in the history books of this world, and it was a famous allusion.
It is rumored that during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu fought for many years to open up his territory, and although it did not spread to Europe, it still terrified Western countries. In order to show their goodwill, they presented a large number of treasures to Emperor Wu, the most magnificent of which was a woman, who was the most beautiful woman selected in all of Europe, and who was proficient in Chinese dance, and used dance to please Emperor Wu of Han.
The Han Concubine Dance refers to the dance of this woman who flattered Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when she first met him. In fact, the dance has long been lost, but there are still remnants of what is known as the 'Han Concubine Dance' - a dance that Western female artists must learn when they enter China.
The Han Concubine Dance is not uncommon, because this dance is indispensable in all performances in China where Western women appear. But it is also a dance that many people have never seen in their lifetime, and the number of female artists with Western faces is very rare. Meng Shu seemed to have guessed something, he looked around, and then found Fushan: "Mr. Fukuyama, does Alice know how to dance the Hanfei Dance?" ”
"I don't know." Fukuyama shook his head, then hesitated: "But I heard that Miss Alice is good at singing and dancing, and it is said that she made a joke when she graduated, she entered the agency in the form of star selection, and she was ranked first, but in the end she debuted as an agent." ”
Meng Shu was stunned. (To be continued......)
