Early the next morning, the entire orchestra began its first rehearsal.
Pei Hongyu worked hard and was the first to arrive at the Kyoto Opera House. Everyone present was older and more qualified than her. Although she had strong musical talent, in the entire age of seniority, she had to
Do your duty as a junior.
At the scene, making tea and water, mopping the floor and publishing articles, etc., Pei Hongyu almost did it all.
But during the rehearsal, her outstanding performance was no less than any other violinist, and was greatly praised by Zhang Qiming. Among the twenty-six violinists, she was the only one who could play every note well in every rehearsal.
There was only Pei Hongyu.
Many people also know that Pei Hongyu is an artist under Liao Yuan, and they all praise him and treat him politely.
After all, everyone present was able to show up at the state banquet because of Liao Yuan's credit.
Therefore, the seniors did not hesitate to teach Pei Hongyu some of his musical questions.
It can be said that in this short period of one week, Pei Hongyu has grown tremendously. She has learned some fingerings and techniques from these seniors in the industry, and then integrated them to create her own playing style. Her musical attainments can be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds.
.
Liao Yuan saw it and was happy in his heart.
Pei Hongyu is extremely talented and has a strong learning ability. Especially with her recent improvement in violin skills, she definitely has a unique style.
Liao Yuan already has the idea of ​​releasing a music album for Pei Hongyu.
But before that, her reputation still needs to be accumulated.
In this industry, there is actually no use for Level 10 violin and Level 10 piano. What peers in the industry focus on is competition experience and competition rankings. If a musician has countless championship titles, it is definitely better than taking the test of a hundred music associations.
The skill certificate is much more glorious.
The competition experience comes with fame in the industry. Only with fame can fans pay for Pei Hongyu's album.
For example, Liao Yuan, an international piano competition and several exchange meetings at home and abroad have already brought him great popularity. Coupled with the songs he composed one after another, as the works spread, Liao Yuan's name
It is also famous far and wide.
The direct benefit is that leaders of overseas countries have mentioned Liao Yuan at the national level, which led to the current state banquet concert.
The maximum time required for the concert is six minutes. During these six minutes, everyone has to combine three musical works "Defend the Yellow River", "The East Is Red" and "The Internationale" into a concerto and perform it. Although Liao Yuan has compiled it
The music score was written, but at the rehearsal site, the musicians made quite a few mistakes.
Until the last day before the state banquet, some of the musicians at the scene still played the wrong notes, which gave Zhang Qiming a headache.
Although the musicians of the Kyoto Opera House are rich in experience, there is still a certain gap between them and some real master-level and international-level musicians.
Therefore, during the week-long rehearsal, some people will still make mistakes due to nervousness and pressure. Especially as the time gets closer and closer, there will be more mistakes.
If it were for the general audience, it would be absolutely harmless to make one or two wrong notes, but now it was facing the eyes of the whole world, and the face of the entire China was at stake. Zhang Qiming absolutely hated this kind of mistake.
For this reason, when heading to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse for the last rehearsal, Zhang Qiming summoned all the musicians, bowed deeply, and solemnly said: "Comrades, this performance is extraordinary. We are facing heads of state.
There is only one chance to rehearse, and I hope you can devote all your energy to it. I am very happy that Comrade Liao Yuan can invite me to be the conductor, but while I am happy, I also know that this is a road of no return.
There is only one way to go forward and no retreat. Our pressure has never been greater. If we make a mistake at the scene, we may face an abyss. We will be laughed at by our colleagues around the world. I believe you should too.
Understand this truth..."
Although the forty-six musicians present remained silent, they all nodded heavily and clenched the instruments in their hands.
Finally, Zhang Qiming bowed to the orchestra members again.
The musicians at the scene also responded quickly.
Soon, all the musicians put on uniform musician costumes, boarded the bus one after another, and headed to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse for the last rehearsal before the performance.
Liao Yuan walked at the end and said to Zhang Qiming: "Teacher Zhang, your words are too heavy. At this time, the more you should relax. Even if you make a mistake, it doesn't matter. It's not a real matter of life and death..."
Zhang Qiming paused, turned around, looked at Liao Yuan, and suddenly smiled: "Liao Yuan, I admire your mentality very much. You don't look like someone of your age at all. Maybe this is what you can do in rehearsals."
The secret to ensuring good sound when playing, but what I must say is that this is really a battle, a battle more serious than life and death. For me and all the musicians, even if we are fighting on the battlefield
Even if you die, as long as you don't embarrass the country, it will be worth it."
Liao Yuan looked at Zhang Qiming, whose expression became more and more solemn, and moved slightly.
He took a deep breath and smiled: "You are right, Teacher Zhang."
Zhang Qiming grinned and patted Liao Yuan on the shoulder, "Let's get in the car!"
Afterwards, everyone got on the bus and headed to Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
Diaoyutai was originally named after Emperor Jin Zhangzong of the Ming Dynasty built a platform here for fishing. It belongs to the royal garden and is a scenic spot famous both at home and abroad. In the middle of the last century, the state expanded the construction of Diaoyutai Scenic Spot and established a national-level hotel.
It is used as a accommodation, meeting and conference venue for visiting state guests.
To date, Diaoyutai State Guesthouse has received more than a thousand heads of state from around the world, and is a place that has attracted the attention of people and media from all over the world.
Different from the external business in Liao Yuan's previous life, in this life, this place is a foreign affairs hotel, which is difficult for ordinary people to enter. Even the richest man in the country will be turned away without permission.
It was opened to the public several years ago, but only for visits.
In recent years, people have no other way to see the scenes except on TV.
A group of members from the Kyoto Opera House Orchestra were able to enter the State Guesthouse only after passing strict security inspections.
No matter in his past life or in this life, this is the first time for Liao Yuan to set foot on a venue of this level. The surrounding gardens retain the buildings from the Ming Dynasty, making him feel like he is in ancient times for an instant.
Along the way, you will see a variety of scenery.
Soon, in the splendid and antique living room, the orchestra of nearly fifty people began to rehearse for the last time before the state banquet under the supervision of surrounding security personnel.
