Chapter 274 Enjoy the music, Brother Liang
After dinner, Yu Yu returned to the hotel and sent Vio to Wang Zhengliang and Sister Wei's room.
Wang Zhengliang took the suitcase containing the king of violins, the Viodon, with both hands, and looked at Yu Yu again. The look in his eyes was self-evident, as he was teasing him for what he had just said in the car about throwing the Viodon in the trunk. As a result, just as Wang Zhengliang said, the violin was lying well in the hotel.
"I forgot to bring it, is that not okay?" Yu Yu said with a confident tone.
"People say that only a dead duck can be stubborn, but I think you are pretty stubborn too. How long have you been exposed to the sun?" Wang Zhengliang winked jokingly, "Okay, let's just assume that you forgot to bring it. But Xiaoyu, this guitar costs over nine figures in RMB. Do you really plan to use it? It's an antique guitar that's almost three hundred years old."
"Of course, musical instruments are made by human craftsmen to turn moving melodies from the musical notation into reality, not to be put in display cabinets as decoration. The more beautiful the sound of an instrument is, the more it should be shared with others. Otherwise, the reputation of the instrument will be buried, and it will be sad." Yu Yu pointed to the box, motioning Wang Zhengliang to take it out and have a look.
However, before he could do anything, he was interrupted by a series of footsteps. Sister Wei ran out of the room, took the violin with one hand and squeezed Wang Zhengliang aside. Under the helpless gaze of Brother Xiaoliang, as the first witness to open the box and the user of Viodon in the next few days, she carefully lifted the lid of the box.
The antique violin, which is slightly smaller than other violins, lies quietly in the box. From the appearance, there is nothing special about it. It is so simple and quaint that it is hard to believe that it will be three hundred years old soon.
"Sister Wei, you can practice with this Viodon for the next two days. You two can get used to it. Don't worry, it has been well maintained and is very strong. It is even stronger than many ordinary violins, so you can use it according to your usual habits. The Viodon has been sleeping for so long, it is time to 'open its voice' and amaze the entire Golden Hall."
After leaving these words, Yu Yu stopped disturbing him.
Nothing special happened in the next two days. Sister Wei took Vio Dang to practice as usual. She was not a showy person, and when others asked her why she changed her violin, she did not reveal the value of the violin.
Fortunately, the Viodon itself looked ordinary in appearance, and others thought it was just an antique violin and did not think much about it. After all, who would have thought that a one-of-a-kind violin in the world would appear next to them?
Even when they heard its clear tone and discovered its incredibly perfect performance in the three ranges of low, medium and high, they curiously asked where this antique violin was bought, saying that the sound was better than those of the big brands, and they also wanted to buy one if the price was right.
Sister Wei just wanted to smile and say that she brought this zither from China. Her family gave it to her, so she didn't know exactly where it was made. There was nothing wrong with this, after all, Yu Yu was half a family member.
Wang Zhengliang also took the time to practice in the training room prepared by IS.
The concert's general director met with him on the morning of the first day.
At first, the director was not impressed by this pianist who was not considered a world-class pianist in any category. Even though the fact that he passed the selection process was enough to prove his piano level, his fame limited his opinion of him and the importance he attached to him.
Of course, the director has collaborated with IS on so many New Year's Eve concerts, and he knows very well that IS's requirements for music have always been placed before fame, so he just came here to go through the motions, letting this musician who was participating in the New Year's Eve concert for the first time know what the concert process is. The rest is not important, and he doesn't want to take it to heart.
After all, the opening song was initially prepared only for some latecomers, just like some stars who invite newly debuted juniors to warm up the audience at their concerts. When everyone has arrived and taken their seats, the opening song is almost over, and the first chapter of the concert will officially begin.
But I don’t know since when, New Year’s Eve concerts have become more and more famous, online audio sources and offline physical albums are selling more and more hot, and the opening song has become a gilded means to make pianists rush to perform, and the taste has changed.
It’s good to return to my “original intention” now.
But the director didn't expect that he would run into IS's "boss" Oliver in the practice room.
He hadn't been able to see this big shot for several years, but today, in the practice room of a little-known Chinese artist, he saw the IS big shot who hadn't attended a concert in nearly three years.
Oliver said that he was just here to visit a friend, and that someone he knew happened to be participating in the performance this year. If the director came over to discuss the process, he could also help with translation.
The director's heart tightened instantly. From the other party's friendly tone and expression, he caught two messages: one, this Reno Wang was his friend; two, he was even willing to be his translator.
Fortunately, his attitude towards others seemed normal at first. If he had been so snobbish as to make things difficult for them or even look down on them and just planned to make a phone call to get the matter over with, God knows what would have happened.
The director wiped away the non-existent sweat in his heart and became more enthusiastic towards Wang Zhengliang.
Oliver, who was used to seeing all kinds of human nature, saw this but did not comment and continued to help Wang Zhengliang translate as if he did not notice anything.
Yes, translator. Yu Yu asked Oliver to come over so that he could be Wang Zhengliang's simultaneous interpreter. After going through the process with the director, he could leave and leave the practice room to Wang Zhengliang alone.
As for Yu Yu himself? He took advantage of the two days of free time, took his mobile phone camera, GoPro and other equipment, and plunged into the ski slopes in the Alps. By the way, he updated the Cyrus short video that had not been updated for a long time. To be honest, it is quite exciting to shoot skiing from a first-person perspective.
Amid the shouts of “Did I agree, then take me and jump off the mountain?”, the comments of loyal viewer Lu Hu seemed out of place:
[If you go to the Alps, buy some of the local specialty Alpine candy... Wait, weren't you training with Brother Liang? Why did you go skiing? Good man, Yuyu, don't let Brother Xiao Liang see this update. ]
Yu Yu took advantage of the fact that Xiao Liang couldn't see him now, and even if he saw him, he couldn't flash to the ski resort to beat him up, so he responded without restraint: [It doesn't matter if he sees him, he trains and I ski, he's so old, why does he still need me to accompany him in practice? As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet, it's good for both of us to be well. ]
@大爷还有春天: [I was smiling at the director, you actually went out skiing? Haha, they say a forced melon is not sweet, it’s just right that you are not sweet, just give the forced melon to Nuwa to repair the sky. ]
What did Nuwa use to mend the sky? Answer: A twisted melon. A twisted melon cannot mend the sky.
Lu Hu never expected that he would be attacked by a bad joke while he was waiting for the update and commenting. He slowly sent a question mark to Wang Zhengliang.
With him taking the lead, there were question marks under Xiao Liangge's comment. At first glance, I thought these kids were here to support Query.
It's fine that these netizens didn't have the chance to stay with Wang Zhengliang and be bombarded with bad jokes, but how can you be the first to question it? You should have already developed antibodies?
Yu Yu shook his head in annoyance, and began to fight poison with poison: [Who is more cruel, Xiaoliang? Even if a werewolf came to you, it would turn into a betel (ice) lang (wolf). I am so scared.]
Lu Hu was stunned.jpg, it's all over, Yu Yu and Xiao Liang have only been alone for a few days, and such a good child in their family has been infected with a rotten stem disease by someone!
The other netizens paused for a moment, and then one by one put a period under Yu Yu’s reply.
That's fine, Query and periods are a loving family.
On the night of the New Year's Eve concert, countless audiences who had grabbed tickets came to the music capital from all over the world. Outside the Golden Hall, the lights were bright and the traffic was busy. Inside the hall, people in formal attire stood in groups of two or three, chatting happily, waiting to enter.
Every year, some news media people, industry scholars and music critics are invited to the concert. Unlike the New Year's Concert held by the Music Capital's Music Association in the Golden Hall which is broadcast on television, the first audience of IS's New Year's Eve concert is only the audience in the Golden Hall. It will be made into an album for sale later. Before that, the public's understanding of the concert is limited to the evaluation of the invited media people and music critics and the feedback from the audience, so the IS New Year's Eve concert is always hard to get tickets.
This year is the second time that Victor Wade has been invited to attend IS's New Year's Eve concert as a member of the British media. After attending the concert for the first time last year, he seemed to have opened up a new world. He finally realized why IS's symphony is so popular. The kind of emotion that can touch the soul directly with music does not need any language blessing.
From then on, he jumped straight from pop music into symphony music, and collected all the vinyl records of New Year's Eve concerts in the past few years. However, the live sound effects of the Golden Hall are beyond the reach of any record player, so he has been asking his editor-in-chief for it this year, hoping that good luck will continue to befall him this year.
Maybe Victor's persistence over the past year impressed the editor-in-chief, or maybe they themselves had few reporters who paid attention to classical music, so this year the pie was still in his hands.
At the beginning of the month, IS announced a list of performers for its New Year's Eve concert. When Victor discovered that the pianist for the opening song was an unknown Chinese, and with blind trust in IS and believing that they would never succumb to any financial offers, Victor spent a lot of time looking up information about this Reno Wang, in order to avoid the prejudices that his own information cocoon might have caused him to harbor.
But the final results told him that although Reno Wang was indeed a musician, singer and producer with high musical literacy, compared to those world-famous musicians, his international awards only stopped at 27 years ago, and even his championship was for the accordion instead of the piano that he was going to perform now.
It was hard for Victor not to associate that IS had chosen such a musician just to open up the Chinese market. After all, he was currently a variety show host in China, and the variety shows he starred in were quite famous.
But if the target is the China market, there are obviously better options, such as Lang Lang, the world-class pianist from China, who is more convincing.
Victor doesn't understand IS's choice, so he currently has reservations about it, but his colleagues are different. Siegfried Wittelsbach is a German media person whom Victor met at a concert last year. His temper is as stubborn as his name. His wording and writing style are known for being sharp and incisive. He can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. Even if you use a train to persuade him to do something, he will not change his mind or modify his comments.
But at last year's concert, he gave IS extremely high praise.
This year he came with expectations. When he saw Victor, he greeted him politely and got straight to the point. His first sentence was: "After this concert, if the performance does not meet my expectations, I think I will check the financial transactions behind it. As we all know, in recent years, there have always been orchestras in China who spend money to perform in the Golden Hall."
This was the truth, but Victor didn't just agree with it: "You're joking, Zig, I'm a little curious about IS's choice. This year's pianist's wife happens to be the concertmaster of the orchestra. That lady plays the violin very well. I'm looking forward to their next performance."
Similar conversations also took place in other places in the hall. IS itself is the focus of everyone's attention and is a hot topic. The New Year's Eve concert itself is their most important music performance of the year. Any decision they make will attract attention from the industry.
Yu Yu and Sister Wei accompanied Wang Zhengliang behind the scenes. As more and more audience members took their seats in the hall, he put his arm around Wang Zhengliang's shoulders and said, "Brother Liang, let's not talk about conquering the world first. Are you ready to convince the discerning audience in this golden hall with your music?"
Wang Zhengliang glanced at the audience, took a deep breath to dispel his nervousness, and a calm smile appeared on his face: "I was ready 27 years ago."
"Then enjoy the music." Yu Yu patted his chest.
