In March 2027, in the girls' dormitory of USYD University in Australia, Ren Xingchen came back excitedly from outside with a schoolbag on one shoulder, and met his roommate Amelia who was about to leave.
"Star, you came back just in time! Let's go to the game together. There is a school team game today."
The blond New Zealander Emilia and Ren Xingchen have many common hobbies, such as tennis, music, etc. Therefore, two girls from different countries and different cultures studied in Australia and became very good friends.
friends.
What Emilia is talking about now is a tennis match, but it is not the well-known Australian Open, it is just a match between several university teams.
"Instead of going to the school team's game today, let's go to a concert together! Look, I have two tickets."
Ren Xingchen took out two tickets from his bag and winked at her proudly.
"Really, concert? Whose? Hey, these are tickets for the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall!"
The first time Emilia saw the famous sail-shaped Sydney Opera House printed on the ticket, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise.
"Yang Qian, I told you, the most famous and successful singer in China!"
Ren Xingchen introduced to his partner with a proud face.
"Yang? You didn't lie to me, did you? I also like his songs very much. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that so many of the songs I listen to were written by him... Wait, he came to Sydney?
Isn’t he a singer? How can it be a concert? Shouldn’t he be a concert organizer?”
Emilia took the ticket with some confusion and looked at it.
"Because he is not only a pop singer, he is also a very good musician and performer. He studied under Chen Gang, a musician who composed the famous violin piece "Butterfly"!"
It was obviously difficult for Amelia to understand what Ren Xingchen said.
Chen Gang?
"Butterfly"?
Famous Chinese violin music?
Emilia can be considered a lover of classical music who has listened to a lot of classical music, but she still knows very little about the music from the ancient Eastern countries. She may have heard a few passages, but if you really want to connect the music with the names and characters, it is too
Impossible.
However, although she didn't know what pure music Yang Qian had written, Emilia still had great expectations for this trip.
First of all, it was because of Yang Qian. After her roommate’s help, Emilia had already become a singer and musician from China. She had listened to many of his songs, or he had written them for others to sing.
songs. Of course, they are still mainly English songs.
Secondly, the place they are going to is the Sydney Opera House! Emilia has visited that place, but listening to a concert there is an experience she has never had before. This is a world-famous opera house, I think.
I think it would be great!
...
"That's really great! Star, how did you get such a good ticket?"
After sitting in Circle Boxes, which are similar to boxes on the second floor on both sides of the concert hall, Amelia realized that their two tickets were worth a lot of money.
Although this is not the location closest to the stage and with the most direct viewing angle, Emilia knows very well that the best location in the concert hall is not the area in front of the stage.
The viewing angle from the position closer to the front of the stage is relatively low, and you cannot see the whole orchestra. On the contrary, the positions in the middle row and the first few rows on the second floor have the best viewing effect and listening comfort. This is from
You can see it in the ticket price!
Not to mention the private rooms separated by sections like theirs. They are VIPs among VIPs. Except for the wrong viewing angle, they have all the other advantages. They are also condescending and are more suitable for enjoying the performances of the musicians.
!
Emilia has attended so many concerts, but the experience of sitting in a box was definitely her first time!
"I can't tell you the reason now, but I will give you a surprise later!"
Ren Xingchen snickered.
The audience who arrived one after another gradually filled the whole place.
This is a concert hall with more than 2,700 seats!
Although it is undeniable that a large part of the audience present are Asians with black hair and yellow skin, and may even be Chinese or Chinese students studying abroad, there are still many Caucasian audience members like Emilia among them.
.And it can be filled up, which shows Yang Qian’s global influence now!
However, most of this influence may come from pop music...
The stage was gradually filled with musicians holding various instruments. The performance seemed to be about to begin, but where was Yang Qian?
Why hasn't he shown up yet?
Just as Emilia was looking around curiously, the lights in the concert hall had dimmed. The conductor waved his palm on the stage, and the violin, cello, double bass and other musicians began to play melodious melodies.
.
What song is this?
Emilia didn't hear it, she just thought the melody was very beautiful. It felt like sitting on the charming coast and watching seagulls fly freely.
But she didn't seem to be completely relaxed, because the gradually rising tone gave her a sense of urgency that made her heart tighten slightly, as if there was some danger approaching, or something big was about to break out.
Sure enough, as the conductor clapped his hands down, the style of the melody suddenly changed, and the main melody turned into a repetitive psychedelic keyboard sound, with the intervention of other cymbals, drums, and the weirdness of the strings, which also made Emily
Ya couldn't help but clenched her fists.
It wasn't that she was afraid, Emilia was just nervous, getting more and more excited, and looking forward to the next melody change more and more.
The foreshadowing at the front is so exciting, and the main text behind will definitely be more intense and ups and downs!
Indeed, just as Emilia guessed, just when the prelude reached a certain threshold, a bright and dazzling spotlight suddenly hit the scene. On the second floor behind the stage, in the temporarily empty chorus seat, there were people wearing suits and jeans.
Yang Qian, wearing a cowboy hat, appeared there as if by magic!
His figure is lonely, but he feels more aloof, like a western cowboy standing in the yellow sand, or a lonely captain under the stormy waves!
"oh!"
Emilia saw it immediately, and she couldn't help but screamed for some reason.
Handsome, really handsome!
This has nothing to do with race or appearance!
It was purely a matter of temperament. Emilia felt that the protagonist's temperament at this time was so charming!
She knew she shouldn't make so much noise at a concert, but she just couldn't help it!
And it wasn't just her. As soon as Emilia's voice came out, she was drowned out by the same uncontrollable shouts and admirations from the entire audience!
""He is a pirate"!"
Emilia also vaguely heard what Ren Xingchen, who turned his head excitedly, said to her.
"What?"
Emilia didn't understand.
What does it mean?
Is he a pirate?
Who are pirates?
Emilia didn't know that this was the title of a song that Yang Qian had released before. She thought she had heard it wrong. Maybe Ren Xingchen didn't mean pirate, but another word.
However, they didn't bother to ask questions at the moment. The noisy sounds around them quickly subsided, because the violin music played by Yang Qian made them involuntarily feel excited, excited, and wanting to hear more.
Really, the reluctance to use noise affected Yang Qian’s performance!
