A hundred steps through the Yang, breathless dancing, drums through the clouds, drums blowing sheng. It's all one minute on stage, ten years offstage.
The Shanghai Chinese Orchestra's Guofeng Music Live "Folk Music on the Sea" is performing at the Shanghai Concert Hall for the first round of 23 days. This week, the guofeng performance scene welcomed a group of special friends.
The Shanghai Synchronized Swimming Team, which has just finished the Tokyo Olympic Games and the National Games, and Tao Luna, the shooting champion of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, have come to the performance site one after another, and in addition to watching, they also interact with the actors on the stage to learn.
Shooting queen Tao Luna crossed over to learn to play guzheng, Tokyo Olympics synchronized swimming runner-up Huang Xuechen beat the Chinese drum, and the two also played a song "A Laugh in the Sea" with the actors of the band.
<h2>When "water ballet" meets "sea folk music", who is more "iron lung"? </h2>
Synchronized swimming is a water competition that integrates dance and music, composed of swimming, skills, dance and music, known as "water ballet".
The flower tour is also one of The ace sports in Shanghai, with many outstanding athletes, including Huang Xuechen. At the just-concluded National Games, they won two gold and one bronze in one fell swoop, winning honors for Shanghai.

When Zhang Xiaolei, head coach of the Shanghai Synchronized Swimming Team, came to the Shanghai Concert Hall with 22 members of the Flower Tour Group, Luo Xiaoci, director of the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra, was rehearsing for the actors.
Seeing the girls' novel eyes, Luo Xiaoci began to introduce various instruments on the stage. When the actor blew a pipe-shaped instrument, the girls immediately guessed the name: "Is this the inside of the indiscriminate number?" Luo Xiaoci nodded in surprise.

In folk music performances, instruments such as flutes, flutes, flutes, and whistles that require the player's extra-long breath are very common.
At the scene, Hu Chenyun, a musician, blew up from a distant seat and walked all the way to the stage to greet every flower girl, and the screams continued endlessly. It was originally with the help of the traditional playing technique "circulating breathing" to achieve such an "iron lung" performance.
"In a Guinness World Record for playing saxophone, this method can be used to last 45 minutes and 47 seconds in one breath." Luo Xiaoci introduced.
Zhang Xiaolei sighed continuously: "We also want such iron lungs." "In fact, every flower swimmer also has a super lung capacity." In general, synchronized swimmers can hold their breath underwater for more than 50 seconds. ”
Talking about the common points between the sport of synchronized swimming and folk music performance, Zhang Xiaolei introduced: "The first step of the flower tour is to choose music, with a good theme and music, there is a good choreography and difficulty, in order to get high scores, this is a sport that combines competition and performance. Therefore, in addition to training, dance classes are also included to allow the team members to accept the influence of art. ”

<h2>Olympic athletes learn to play musical instruments and look for common ground in sports and music</h2>
At this summer's Tokyo Olympic Games, Shanghai synchronized swimmer Huang Xuechen won the silver medal with his partner Sun Wenyan's "Snow Goose" group in the synchronized swimming double free selection final. In addition, the Chinese synchronized swimming team also won the second place in the Free Self-Selection Competition for Synchronized Swimming Groups at the Tokyo Olympic Games, and the music at that time was a folk music selection based on pipa playing.
Huang Xuechen
"Just after listening to the folk music performance, I feel that the whole person is hot, and I want to go to the second and third brushes!" In the future, I hope that our competition can also incorporate more such music. "After the performance, Huang Xuechen still couldn't hide his excitement." The actors are the same as us, ten minutes on stage, ten years offstage. We still have a lot in common. ”
Huang Xuechen was learning to play drums
And the Olympic predecessor Tao Luna, who was the champion of the 10-meter air pistol shooting project at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, won the first gold of the Olympic Games that year. Most people's impressions of her on the field are breathless and serious.
Tao Luna
But in the exchange after the performance, Tao Luna has been cheerfully laughing and talking about her love for folk music. "I have studied a few lessons of guzheng and find this instrument particularly elegant. My dad was also a folk music enthusiast and could pull erhu. Tao Luna, who has a special love for folk music, came to the scene by herself to listen to the ancient strings.
Tao Luna, who seriously learns guzheng
"Now folk music has a lot of innovation, one moment I think in the desert, the next in the forest, how can these music be so elegant." The people of Shanghai are really happy and have the opportunity to come to the concert hall to feel such high-quality music. ”
In the live interaction, Tao Luna and Luo Xiaoci learned to play the melody of the theme song "A Laugh in the Canghai" with a guzheng, and Huang Xuechen quickly learned the rhythm of the Chinese drum, and the two and the actors of the orchestra performed "a laugh in the sea, a tide on both sides of the strait", which perfectly ended the visiting activities.
"The spirit of hard work and the spirit of pursuing excellence in athletes is what we artists need to learn. In the eyes of everyone, the artist is bright and beautiful, but in fact, like the athlete, behind the scenes is the hard practice and unremitting pursuit of the ultimate day after day. Luo Xiaoci said.
