Usually, we often see performances on the street, usually based on guitar and singing, but now, there is an elegant art that has also been added to the "inner volume" of street performances, that is, the violin. At 3:30 p.m. on February 9, the reporter saw at the gate of Dennis David City in Zhengzhou that a violin player was playing violin at the entrance of the mall. The violin is still a little far away from the general public, why would he think of playing the violin on the street? The reporter interviewed the performer.
Since 2019, he has been playing on the street, and his legs are still shaking after playing the piano for half an hour for the first time
In the interview, the reporter learned that the player's name is Wang Xiaobin, a native of Zhengzhou, and he is 30 years old this year. Since 2019, he has been playing violin street in shopping malls and areas such as Zhengzhou People's Park and Zhengzhou Department Store, Zhengdong New District. Recalling his first time playing on the street, Wang Xiaobin told reporters, "My legs are shaking. "He said that the first time he played was in Zhengzhou People's Park, when a group of people surrounded him, and after playing the piano for half an hour, his legs were still shaking, and he was very nervous." After all, I still have a bit of social fear. ”
When we think of the violin, we always feel very "tall". Why did Wang Xiaobin think of playing the violin on the street? He told reporters that it was only because of love. "When I was playing the violin, people would often come up to me and ask if I had learned violin, but in fact, I had only started learning it in my 20s, and I had been teaching myself for almost 10 years. I also have a dream of becoming a street performer. Coupled with my love for the violin, I 'merged the two into one', which also fulfilled my dream. ”
Generally street performers are very concerned about how many people stop to listen and cheer, but for Wang Xiaobin, this is not what he cares about most. "I know that there is a distance between the violin and the public, and people like to listen to it for a while, and we can't force others not to." Whether or not someone listens, it is most important to be touched first. ”
He said that I was the "first person" to play violin on the streets of Zhengzhou.
"I should be the 'first person' to play violin on the streets of Zhengzhou." In the interview, Wang Xiaobin told reporters that he has observed the performances on the streets of Zhengzhou, in addition to guitar and singing, the most probably is the drum kit, violin street playing in addition to himself, has not seen anyone do it.
However, because the performance time is in the afternoon, Wang Xiaobin's audience is far less than the audience listening to guitar and singing at night. Why did you choose this time? Wang Xiaobin said that the afternoon time is relatively bright, and there will be many people in the evening, and the violin and guitar performances will "bump" together, "so that the audience may be uncomfortable listening to both, so I simply avoid the guitar and singing time in the evening." ”
What is the audience's attitude toward Wang Xiaobin's performance? The reporter observed that many people who came to Dennis David City to shop would stop and listen for a while when they passed, especially the parents with children, stay longer. "The first time I heard a violin playing on the street, it felt quite tall and very good." A mother and daughter who came to Dennis David City to shop told reporters. A parent who brought his children for a walk said he liked such a performance. "I want to take the child to listen to it for a while and let her accept the 'edification'."
When asked about the future direction of career development, Wang Xiaobin told reporters that he is ready to do self-media and also wants to develop into violin performances, "but the performances are too few, and I still need to continue to work hard." ”
