In the quiet living room, Zhang Qiming solemnly took out his baton from the brocade box, then nodded to the musicians in the audience, and then looked at Liao Yuan behind him who was performing a piano solo. After confirming that he was ready, Gao
He raised his hands and waved them rapidly.
The magnificent and majestic music played instantly!
During a rehearsal, Zhang Qiming once asked Liao Yuan whether "Defending the Yellow River" has a deeper meaning?
Liao Yuan considered that the history was slightly different and did not want to add more political factors. Therefore, he just explained to Zhang Qiming literally: "You see, the Yellow River is turbulent and powerful, symbolizing the indomitable spirit of our Chinese nation.
, the Yellow River has also witnessed the historical process of China for five thousand years, laying the foundation for the fine blood of our Chinese nation. It is tougher and more adaptable than other nations. Historically, in the face of huge gaps in weapons and equipment, economy, technology, etc.
, The Chinese nation has used its flesh and blood and heroic and unyielding spirit to advance against the enemy's fire countless times. Why do we have to fight like this to the death? Because behind us is the Yellow River, which is the mother river. To defend the Yellow River is to defend our homeland!"
When Liao Yuan spoke, it was very plain, as if he were memorizing a text, but Zhang Qiming and others listened with enthusiasm and tears in their eyes. From then on, they admired Liao Yuan.
Recalling Liao Yuan's speech at that time, the forty or fifty musicians present aroused emotions in their hearts, and the aura of the entire orchestra became as turbulent as the waves of the Yellow River.
The security personnel watching the performance were slightly moved.
Even though they didn't understand music, they still heard the flavor of fighting to the death and saving the nation from this piece of music. Even with the climax, waves of waves surged in their hearts.
Vice Minister of Culture Guo Qian was arranging matters in the side hall. After hearing the music, he couldn't help but put down what he was doing and walked out to find out.
He enjoyed the music for a while at the scene, then came to the viewing seat and sat down, and said to Zhou Yijun, who was leading the team next to him: "Dean Guo, this piece sounds very powerful when played live!"
Zhou Yijun came back to his senses and saw that it was Minister Guo. He quickly stood up and said: "Minister Guo."
Minister Guo waved his hand and motioned for Zhou Yijun to sit down, then looked at Liao Yuan who was sitting in front of the piano playing, and asked: "What is Liao Yuan's reputation in your industry?"
Zhou Yijun was stunned for a moment, then realized something and smiled: "Minister Guo, you have asked the right person. I have collaborated with Liao Yuan many times. His musical attainments are unparalleled among the younger generation and he has created many popular works."
He even won the championship in a previous international piano competition, and experts from the five major concert halls have offered him an olive branch. He is a rare talent."
Minister Guo nodded slowly: "It sounds good. It's rare to have such an achievement at such a young age."
"It is indeed rare, and what is even more rare is that he is also a novelist."
Zhou Yijun smiled and said: "The suspense novels he created are best-selling at home and abroad, and they often top the sales list in Chinese-speaking areas."
Minister Guo was surprised, and then asked with great interest: "He is still an all-round literary and artistic talent, not bad. What do you think about letting him participate in the opening ceremony of the 2022 Kyoto Winter Olympics?"
"Winter Olympics opening ceremony?"
Zhou Yijun was shocked and said quickly: "This... I believe Liao Yuan will be overjoyed. On behalf of Liao Yuan, I would like to first thank Minister Guo for his cultivation."
Minister Guo smiled and said: "You don't need to thank me. Whether it can be done depends on tomorrow's performance and whether it can satisfy the foreign guests. Liao Yuan is a great person in the international music circle. Many people have praised him for his music. I
I hope he can carry forward his advantages and bring more glory to the country."
Zhou Yijun said excitedly: "I will definitely tell you."
After Minister Guo left, Zhou Yijun no longer had the intention to enjoy the music. After the rehearsal, he hurriedly stepped forward and called Liao Yuan aside: "Xiao Liao, listen, tomorrow's performance is only allowed to be successful, not failed, do you understand?
?”
Liao Yuan looked at Zhou Yijun's excited look and said with a smile: "That's natural, I can distinguish the important from the important."
Zhou Yijun breathed a long sigh of relief, put his arm around Liao Yuan's shoulders, and laughed loudly: "I will tell you a good thing after the performance tomorrow!"
"What good thing?" Liao Yuan wondered.
Zhou Yijun wanted to say it out loud, but considering that it would not affect Liao Yuan's performance tomorrow, he shook his head and said, "I'll tell you after the state banquet is over tomorrow."
Liao Yuan was a little curious, but he didn't ask any more questions. For a mature man, controlling desire is the first element.
On the way out of the State Guesthouse, Zhang Qi was obviously in high spirits and said to the members behind him: "Very good. It seems that everyone is serious. This is the most successful concert. I hope you can maintain this mental state. Tomorrow,
We show the Chinese style to the whole world!"
Zhang Qiming's morale boost was very effective, and the tense atmosphere at the scene eased a lot.
On the bus, Pei Hongyu sat next to Liao Yuan and said nervously: "Can we see the chief tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Liao Yuan nodded.
Pei Hongyu smiled: "Will the chief shake hands with us?"
"Probably." Liao Yuan nodded again.
Pei Hongyu added: "Should it be on TV?"
Liao Yuan hummed, "Dean Zhou said, it will be on the news network."
Pei Hongyu took a deep breath and stopped asking. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and kept editing text messages to inform her parents, friends and relatives at home about the incident, and asked them to watch "Xinwen Lianbo" on time at 19:30.
If possible, it would be best to record the video.
Liao Yuan glanced at it and smiled.
He recalled that when he recorded the program for the first time in his previous life, the whole village was watching the TV set.
That night, the video of him appearing on the show was widely circulated among friends in his hometown.
Overnight, almost everyone in the city, county, township, and town was singing his name.
A few years later, Liao Yuan also became a business card of his hometown. Many fans traveled thousands of miles to Liao Yuan’s hometown to pay homage to the place where Liao Yuan lived. Teachers from elementary and middle schools, and childhood friends were all frequently interviewed.
of celebrities.
And now...
Liao Yuan took out his mobile phone and clicked on his parents' names in the address book, showing hesitation.
Nearly a year has passed, and we always have to face what we have to face, but not now.
Who doesn’t want to honor their ancestors, and who doesn’t want to return home in glory?
Liao Yuan sighed.
The next day, early in the morning, all roads leading to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse encountered traffic control and were blocked all the way. A convoy of police cars opened the way and drove in one after another, attracting the attention of the whole city.
At this moment, the musicians belonging to the Kyoto Opera House were all ready to go and boarded the bus.
