Chapter 1307 Flattery(1/2)
She must have discovered the mismatch in height between them. Hillary stood on tiptoes and leaned forward a little more taller so that she could put her head on the other person's left shoulder to complete a more standard etiquette action. She couldn't let her, a famous violinist, do it.
Bury your face in the accompanist's shoulder and neck.
Yang Jingxing complied and lowered his stance and bent slightly to prevent the delicate violinist from having too much physical contact with him. Other than that, he did not dare to make any unnecessary movements.
Hillary placed her right palm on the upper part of the accompanist's back, patted it twice, and spoke behind the accompanist's left ear: "Thank you."
Yang Jingxing also tried his best to be polite and smiled: "You're welcome."
Although the audience's attention was intense, they did not stop clapping to listen to what was being said on the stage. The applause in the concert hall was even more enthusiastic. It was probably dedicated to etiquette.
Hillary remained polite and spoke again: "Thank you, that was great just now." Not only was her voice tired, but her body, which was still panting, was a little unbearable. As she spoke, her chin tapped lightly on the accompanist's shoulder. It was also a wrong choice.
If the left-hand violin player initially puts his head towards the accompanist's right shoulder to hug him, his posture should be much more relaxed, and his face should be the focus of the audience's attention.
"You're welcome." Yang Jingxing didn't dare to block the performer for too long. After saying that, he backed away and turned to the right, facing the audience, laughed and started clapping again.
After pulling away from the distance, Hilary could just observe the accompanist to see if he was sincere. Yang Jingxing's posture was also standard. He didn't smile stingily, clapped his hands without perfunctory, and would look at the violinist with admiration.
After a more careful inspection, Sheila gave the accompanist a basically qualified smile score, and then she turned towards the audience. There was no need to look carefully, the audience's enthusiasm was endless, and Hilary directly gave a very satisfied expression.
Not only the students were still immersed in the aftertaste of their sincere admiration for the performers, but the leading experts also continued to praise and applaud.
The support of the audience is power. Hillary suddenly became energetic again, and then she became more elegant. She gave the accompanist a forward gesture of invitation.
Yang Jingxing understood and followed the violinist one step forward. However, the applause was clearly for the big star, so when the violinist bowed to thank him, the accompanist just nodded.
Hillary turned her head and noticed that there was someone next to her who knew enough not to steal the show. She seemed quite satisfied with the accompanist, and then generously made an invitation gesture again, inviting the accompanist to come off the stage.
Yang Jingxing really knows how to please famous artists. After taking two steps, he reminds: "Your piano case." Then he simply goes back to help pick up the piano case, which shows his merit.
Hillary's expression was obviously more satisfied. On this stage, she wanted to add some drama to the accompanist so that he could show more of his face. So when the accompanist came to her, the violinist did not take the piano case but put it in his hand.
He held up the piano in his hand and raised his face to look into the accompanist's eyes to signal.
Yang Jingxing was also a bit discerning. He picked up the piano case with one hand and opened the unlocked top cover toward the violinist. The big star was indeed different. The snow-white lining of the piano case had Hilary Cole's name embroidered on it, as well as a hygrometer and thermometer.
The dials are like works of art, and there are three bows.
Hillary showed a gentle and ceremonial sense. She first clamped the bow that she had just used, and then carefully laid the violin inside. The neck of the violin had to be fixed with a ribbon. The box was really stable. Hillary looked at it while doing the ceremony.
After a few glances at the accompanist, he was not only satisfied but also seemed to be paying attention.
There was another new mime performance on the stage, and the audience began to enjoy it again, almost as solemnly as listening to music, maybe it was inertia.
When the violinist finished his movements and finally closed the box and clicked the lock, Yang Jingxing did not dare to continue holding the precious baby and quickly returned it to its original owner.
After taking the piano case, Hilary thanked her, which seemed like she was friendly and approachable.
Although the big stars gave him some sunshine, Yang Jingxing did not dare to shine too brightly and still kept to his duties.
Hillary's treatment was different from that of a lecturer. The school leaders and professors almost surrounded the performers to greet them as they left the stage. They were filled with thoughtful praises and flattery for her perfect performance, extraordinary ensemble, and groundbreaking piano and violin performances.
The duet...the accompanists next to me all benefited a lot.
The academic director clasped his hands on his chest and shook them repeatedly as if he had learned the fist-clenching salute. He used his typical exaggerated expression and tone: "It's like magic, a miracle I've never seen before! Thank you, thank you, Hillary, thank you."
arrival!"
Rousseau added: "Otherwise we would not know what we were missing."
Hilary thanked her gracefully, then looked at the accompanist, who was conscious of his duty not to steal the spotlight, and smiled with satisfaction, and acted as if he was giving the accompanist a chance to say something.
Yang Jingxing realized that everyone else was looking at him contently, and he nodded repeatedly: "I am very happy to cooperate with Miss Cole. Her talent inspires everyone, including me."
Not only Hillary, but the Curtis people were completely satisfied. The academic director exclaimed to the violinist: "Oh my god, you shined so brightly today. I can't believe you can do so well. I even felt Mr. Yang
of excitement.”
Many eyes looking for confirmation looked at him, Yang Jingxing smiled and nodded: "Who can not be excited?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Grafman asked the crowd: "Who can believe this is their first time? I can hardly imagine what this means to you, what does that feel like?"
"I don't know..." Hilary was also in trouble. She looked at the accompanist and recalled: "It's amazing. There is no fear or hesitation. I feel that I can trust him, no matter what I do."
Rousseau shook his upper body, frowned, glared and twisted his mouth: "Who wouldn't trust me?"
The elegant laughter of musicians and artists sounded all around, and even the admiring students who were watching were inspired to join the group in joy.
"Not just the best, but the best!" The academic director looked like he wanted to make some novel comments, but looking at Director Yang, he hesitated to explain: "I don't want to say some clichés, but this is the first time I've heard this.
A duet like the piano, a perfect match. I mean Yang Jingxing and Hillary, if anyone has expectations for you beyond your own, that is too unreasonable!"
Kushnir looked very happy and congratulated: "From now on, your rare talent will no longer be alone!"
The academic director nodded repeatedly and corrected: "The fact is that it started an hour ago! Thank God, this is the real miracle. I am so happy for you. The significance of this will be greater than the fantasy we experienced this afternoon!" After sighing, it was very necessary.
Look at the two protagonists personally and affirmatively.
Hillary didn't seem to like being compared, her elegant smile faded, and she looked at the accompanist, who had always been self-conscious, with a look in her eyes that seemed to contain a reminder.
Yang Jingxing still understood the situation and expressed his attitude seriously: "I learned a lot from Miss Cole. She gave me a new understanding of the violin. What I saw and heard today is far better than the Hilary Cole I knew before."
After listening to the accompanist's self-knowledge with rapt attention, interest, and joy, the Curtis people became even more satisfied, they were elated and even hearty. After a leisurely moment, Kushnir turned serious when he faced Hillary: "Dear, I'm so proud of you, you have so much potential!"
Hillary seemed to reward the accompanist with a look of praise, and then with a humble expression and a proud tone: "I also think it's amazing..."
Rousseau was simply flattering: "There is no doubt that everyone here feels the same way today. You made it yourself!"
The academic director wanted to hug Hillary: "Who else can hear Tchaikovsky like this? The entire third movement, and Bach, you let us see more of Yang Jingxing, who else can do it!?"
Needing self-consciousness again, Yang Jingxing smiled and said, "Thank you again, Miss Cole."
The Curtis people were so happy that Hilary was even willing to respond to the accompanist with a smile: "You're welcome." She even bowed slightly.
The big star is so approachable and cute, everyone laughed even more, and then Grafman finally turned to the piano: "You should talk, I'm sure there will be more magic."
The academic director seemed to remember his responsibilities: "It's a good idea to change places. Although I can't bear to leave here, what just happened here!"
Kushnir was generous: "You can go to my office. Yang and I talked a lot there in the morning."
Yang Jingxing hesitated: "I'd love to, but the time may not be suitable."
Hillary nodded repeatedly and became serious: "Yes, yes, time..."
The academic director's acting was quite exaggerated: "Oh my god, this is so surprising, it's a quarter to nineteen, I'm so sorry..." Others also showed their sense of time, looking at their watches with apologetic expressions.
Yang Jingxing smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's a good time."
You know what's interesting, Curtis people are happy again. The academic director thought in surprise: "Mr. Yang, won't you watch the concert later?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Of course we have to see it, so we have to prepare."
It seemed that he had just remembered this incident. Rousseau chuckled: "I hope the students will not be too nervous tonight."
Kushnir was also curious: "We can confirm it."
Grafman backed up: "I'll come."
The academic director was excited again: "Big day!"
Rousseau looked at his watch again: "How about we meet here at seven-fifty?"
Everyone agreed that Kushnir was concerned about Hillary: "What are you going to do?"
Hillary looked in the direction of the door and was so anxious that she took a step forward: "I have to go."
The teachers and teachers were really reluctant to leave, and their words of goodbye and best wishes were as emotional as parting between life and death. Even Curtis would never forget this day.
Yang Jingxing also joined in the fun: "See you next time."
Hillary nodded: "See you next time."
Teacher You probably also knew that it was not okay to stand by and laugh all the time, and that he might not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of promoting the results. He finally had the courage to take the initiative this time: "If Miss Cole goes to Puhai, we will very much welcome her." He said. It's pretty neat and I've made a lot of progress.
Hillary looked at the speaker kindly: "I'm happy to..."
Only then did the academic director realize his big oversight and quickly made up for it: "This is Mr. You, who works with Mr. Yang at the Piano Art Center of Puhai Conservatory of Music."
The director introduced her, and Hilary extended her hand in appreciation: "Nice to meet you."
Teacher You is both humble and dignified: "Nice to meet Miss Cole."
Then let's go, but the students finally couldn't pretend anymore. They are young people after all, and geniuses also chase stars, but they just use artistic greetings and topics to block the way of big stars.
Hillary dealt with the fans very skillfully, while these experts and professors who had agreed to go together could only act as foils, but they were all very happy.
It was already dark, so many students left first when they knew there was no chance to watch, but the rest were all activists, almost surrounding the violinist. Miss Cole, I like your performance so much! Miss Cole
You are so extraordinary today! Miss Cole, how do you feel about your new interpretation of Bach?
For fresh questions, Hillary has to think carefully before answering: "I will do further work, and I believe it will be positive."
Some well-meaning people also asked the accompanist: "Mr. Yang, did you design today's ensemble specifically for Hillary? I mean, if it were another violinist, would you do it differently?"
The sudden silence in the audience indicated that the test had come again. The accompanist, who was surrounded by eyes, laughed again: "I did my best."
The Curtis people were very satisfied and burst into laughter. Hillary was even more satisfied, and her face continued to shine.
"Mr. Yang." The student who asked the question continued: "Can I understand that it was Hillary who made you do your best just now?"
There was another chuckle, but Yang Jingxing was strong: "I performed beyond my capacity."
Amidst the joy, another student relayed: "What about the Bach suites? Is Mr. Yang's performance based on Hillary's performance or is it just your personal interpretation of Bach?"
To be continued...
