Chapter 1411: Chapter 1166: Zigeunerweisen and Ambush from Ten Sides_3
As one of China’s ten great classical compositions, “Ambush from Ten Sides” employs the traditional Chinese large-scale suite structure, with different musicians presenting different versions. However, the lody remains unified.
Lin Yuan has his own version.
When his fingers began plucking the strings, the audience seed to hear the sound of armor scraping against each other. Two words appeared on the big screen:
Formation!
Gradually.
The words on the screen changed along with the lody of the music, progressing sequentially from the initial “Formation”:
Marshal Selection.
Troop Arrangent.
Ambush.
Convergence.
Battle.
Victory or Defeat.
Each phrase seed to follow the trajectory of the music, with the murderous atmosphere of the battlefield rushing straight at the audience.
Iron horses and golden spears!
The sound of battle shook the heavens!
The atmosphere of war was magnified to its fullest extent, with the pipa simulating the tones of ancient wind instrunts, resembling the resonant harmony of pipes and flutes during a military parade. An army, disciplined and grand, marched forward, coming closer with imposing strides!
The rhythm was tightly controlled, alternating between tension and release.
During the ambush section, the music carried a mood of suspense and horror, as if under the cover of nightfall, hidden forces sprang forth from all directions, shrouded in eerie chill.
Lin Yuan’s hand speed quickened continuously.
The lody moved upwards and downwards, following a sequence of progression.
When the tension reached its peak, everything erupted abruptly. The sound of the pipa transford into the chaotic symphony of fierce combat, with its infectious power amplified to the ultimate climax!
Who erged victorious?
No one seed to know.
The music did not provide an answer.
Lin Yuan’s performance concluded at its most climactic mont, similar to the handling in “Zigeunerweisen.” But while the latter left people spellbound, this ti it left the audience feeling restless and unsatiated.
…
Lin Yuan did not realize that, as he perford, the expressions of the audience had visibly shifted. anwhile, the densely packed live comnts on the screen had unknowingly dwindled.
Imrsed.
Engrossed.
The live-stream cara alternated between giving close-ups of Lin Yuan’s hands, zooming out to capture his entire figure, and occasionally focusing on the audience and the Maestros below.
Within the fra.
The mouths of the Maestros from all continents had fallen agape and couldn’t close. So even stood up, quickly realizing it was inappropriate, only to sit back down hastily. Their swaying postures resembled emotions being pulled by invisible strings woven by the music.
Abigail leaned forward.
The brilliance in his eyes exploded dramatically, unable to suppress his surging emotions anymore. He seed to hear the ultimate culmination of the pipa’s artistry!
Beside him.
Yang Zhongming’s body trembled lightly, his gaze fixed on the stage, as though the entire world had been reduced to the lone, youthful figure on it.
Subli!
Glorious!
Silent!
After the final note dropped, the venue fell into a silence even longer than after “Zigeunerweisen” had been perford.
Because this ti, not just the Maestros—every person present felt the profound expression and artistic conception of this piece!
It was the live-stream viewers who broke the silence first!
“I kneel!”
“Don’t tell this is also for a movie score!”
“With this kind of score, is there even a film in the world whose original music can surpass ‘Kung Fu’?”
“Divine!”
“Clearly these are pipa tones, but I feel like I’m watching a battle scene of armies clashing!”
“This is martial music!”
“Like with ‘Horse Racing,’ it uses instrunts to imitate sounds—this ti, battlefield sounds. And yet not a trace of discord exists!”
“The pipa’s expressive capability has reached its zenith!”
“How is this music free for to listen to?!”
“You’ll need to pay for it—you must go watch ‘Kung Fu’!”
…
The Maestros finally snapped out of it.
Looking at each other, everyone had been thoroughly convinced.
“Lin Yuan firmly deserves a spot among the top ten Maestros of Blue Star.”
“Why do I feel like he’s even scarier now than during Blue Songlympics?”
“It’s no wonder all the world’s Maestros were invited; this performance indeed deserves to be witnessed by every composer.”
“These few pieces will beco immortal classics.”
“Indeed, regardless of this film’s quality, its score alone ensures its undefeatable position.”
“Did that sound imitation stand out to you?”
“Using pipa panel strikes and plucking to simulate the sound of cannon booms, he effectively created the sensation of being on an ancient battlefield—a stroke of genius! He truly understands the pipa inside out.”
“Not just the pipa.”
“Did he not master the suona and violin too?”
“This piece, ‘Ambush from Ten Sides,’ will beco one of the cornerstone works of classical music. It encompasses every pipa technique, yet never cos across as re showmanship.”
“Imagine if more perforrs joined in.”
“Subli, glorious, majestic, and uniquely bold. Even within classical music, this is rare. To think soone in our era could produce a piece on par with the crystallization of ancient masters…”
“I’m waiting for him to host a concert.”
“I’ve already begun expecting his symphonies. With such extensive familiarity with instrunts, his symphonic works are bound to stand out imasurably.”
At this mont.
People even forgot this was a comrcial movie press event.
Instead, they saw it as a heart-stirring concert!
…
When An Hong returned to the stage, his gait was slightly unsteady.
“Teacher Admirable Fish, could you introduce…”
“This piece is called ‘Ambush from Ten Sides,’ also part of the film’s soundtrack.”
“I’d like to ask on behalf of everyone—how many more srizing pieces are there in the movie ‘Kung Fu’?”
“Quite a few.”
Lin Yuan certainly couldn’t perform them all, so he chose three representative compositions.
The purpose was threefold.
The first was, of course, to promote the movie ‘Kung Fu.’
The second was to pave the way for Xian Yu’s music rankings.
The third was to lay the groundwork for Xian Yu’s concert next year.
In hindsight.
His objectives had been achieved.
This movie press event would be an overwhelming success!
