At this moment, I heard that the Kyoto Opera Troupe was rehearsing in advance, and many Spring Festival Gala performers who were staying in the lounge came here because of the news, and appeared in the audience one after another.
Although "Defending the Yellow River" has been included in the textbook, the new semester has not yet come and it has not yet been published, so its popularity is not very high.
People only know some of the melodies of "Defend the Yellow River" through the Internet, but because of the uneven quality of recording and playback equipment, most people may have different feelings about "Defend the Yellow River" in their ears.
Therefore, "Defend the Yellow River" did not become a hit like popular songs such as "Light Years Away".
But the live performance of "Defend the Yellow River", when all kinds of music poured into the ears, was so shocking that no one could imagine, and it left many people unable to calm down for a long time.
"This is the concerto appointed by the chief..."
Xiang Weihong murmured: "It feels completely different from what I heard on the videotape..."
"If placed in a professional concert hall, the effect of this piece of music will be even better." Guo Qian said with a smile: "At that time, the state banquet invited heads of state from all over Asia. Can you imagine? Everyone listened to this After the first song, everyone seemed to be in a daze, and there was silence for a while.”
Director Hou Yujun laughed and said: "I know this. After the performance, the director personally commented on it, saying that "Defend the Yellow River" is the voice of my Chinese nation. I watched the news at the time, and I thought what the director said was very good... ...Actually, even if the head of state did not appoint it, I might urge Wei Hong to add this concerto to the list of the Spring Festival Gala. After all, the Spring Festival Gala is a program dedicated to all Chinese people, and it cannot be without the voice of my Chinese nation, haha."
The music in my ears continues.
The sound of the piano is like the surging water of the Yellow River, which is continuous and makes people's hearts fluctuate.
Such a majestic piece of music is at the top of the list even in the entire history of Chinese composition.
In the audience, countless performers were also full of impassioned expressions at this moment.
"This Liao Yuan is simply a national treasure pianist!"
"Those hands are amazing. Sometimes they are gentle, sometimes they are fast. The highs and lows are continuous and continuous. It makes people want to die..."
"Isn't there news before that someone evaluated the value of Liao Yuan's hands, and the starting price was 100 million yuan!"
"At this moment, my heart is extremely complicated. Alas, it would be great if these hands could only be used to play the piano..."
"..."
"???"
"Teacher Huang, can we talk properly?"
In the edge corner of the auditorium, Hou Kangsheng, wearing a black leather jacket, was looking excitedly at the performance stage.
When "Defending the Yellow River" played "The East is Red" in the second section, listening to the fierce piano music suddenly became gentle, Hou Kangsheng's eyes became wet with excitement. He always felt that this minor tune seemed familiar, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hands and follow the music. The sound rises and falls while playing slowly in the air.
The east is red, the sun is rising...
The sound of music seemed to come from outer space, echoing in Hou Kangsheng's mind, inexplicably making him admire him.
In fact, because of his interest, he has been exposed to various musical instruments since he was a child. Now, at the age of nineteen, he is already a well-known electronic music producer in the industry. His understanding of music is also outstanding among his peers. .
However, due to the public's lack of awareness of electronic music and the insufficient accumulation of electronic music culture in the local area, this has led to the slow development of domestic original electronic music. Unlike classical instruments such as pianos and violins, which are deeply loved by the broad masses of the people.
In terms of the social status of practitioners, electronic music is not as good as classical instruments. Even many electronic music producers in the industry have to admit this.
The reason why Hou Kangsheng suddenly became a fan of Liao Yuan is basically because many of the works created by Liao Yuan can perfectly integrate electronic music, such as "Fade", such as the "War Rhapsody" series, or "Flower Dance",
"Out of the Western Regions", "my-soul", etc.
Since the One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition was held, it has not only become a flourishing event in the piano world, but has also become the hottest topic of discussion in the electronic music industry in recent years. This is all because of these works that Liao Yuan has thrown out one after another. Each of his works,
Almost all of them have been crazily adapted by electronic music enthusiasts. Although the quality varies, but with more people participating in the adaptation, there are always high-quality products.
For example, Hou Kangsheng's adaptation of "Fade" has become the number one classic adaptation in the electronic music industry. Although it has no copyright and cannot be profitable, it still caused a sensation in the electronic music circle and was eager to spread it.
Hou Kangsheng also went from being unknown to becoming famous, but the name of the original creator Liao Yuan began to flood into the ears of all electronic music producers because of this adapted version of "Fade".
There are even some younger middle school students who regard Liao Yuan as the god of electronic music in campus circles!
To have such a reputation, Hou Kangsheng definitely contributed a lot.
However, although Hou Kangsheng has achieved some success in the electronic music industry, he is still regarded by his family as not doing his job properly.
After all, his father is the director of CCTV, and he is a big shot in the entire entertainment industry. Therefore, compared with his father, Hou Yujun, Hou Kangsheng's achievements in the electronic music industry are simply not worth mentioning in the eyes of ordinary people.
carry.
But he loves electronic music after all...
The famous psychologist Maslow once proposed a hierarchy of human needs theory. From low to high, they are "physiological needs", "security needs", "emotion and belonging needs", "respect needs" and "respect needs".
Self-actualization needs”.
These five levels of needs are the famous "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory" in psychology.
Because they are born into wealth, some people automatically meet their physiological needs and safety needs when they are born. When they grow up, because of their rich material conditions, they can easily meet their "emotional and belonging needs".
These three needs are just the basic needs of human beings. Going up, they are the higher "needs of respect and self-realization".
For example, some professional senior managers have annual salaries of millions or even tens of millions. For such a super elite, this is already a material condition that can be obtained easily.
Therefore, no matter how much money you have, at this level, it will probably become just a number, and its allure will be significantly reduced. An annual salary of three million or five million cannot easily sway the decision of a super elite.
Therefore, for many companies that want to recruit such super elites, normal salary incentives can no longer satisfy them, so stock and right incentives were born.
These are the so-called higher-order needs of esteem and self-actualization.
These needs, like a ladder, ascend step by step from low to high.
However, this order is not completely fixed, it can be changed, and there are various exceptions.
For example, Hou Kangsheng now has a materially rich family. After satisfying the three lowest-level needs, he began to pursue the higher-level psychological needs of respect and self-realization.
He wants to realize his ambition in the electronic music circle and is eager to gain people's respect through electronic music, a new thing.
So, how to realize it has become the problem Hou Kangsheng wants to solve most at present.
When he gained the respect of the entire electronic music circle by adapting "Fade", he finally knew how to take his own path.
So, after learning that Liao Yuan participated in this year's Spring Festival Gala, Hou Kangsheng ran to the CCTV building every two days. After all, he is the son of the director of CCTV. He can easily pass the security check and freely shuttle between various studios without being noticed.
.
Finally, before the Spring Festival Gala, he arrived at Liao Yuan.
The gift he gave to Liao Yuan was a CD with various electronic music works burned on it, and all of these electronic music works were adapted from Liao Yuan's works.
Hou Kangsheng fervently hoped that his adapted works would be recognized by Liao Yuan, and he was even more eager to have various musical collaborations with Liao Yuan.
But Hou Kangsheng may not have expected that after receiving the gift, Liao Yuan did not open it immediately.
In fact, even if it were taken apart, Liao Yuan would not necessarily appreciate Hou Kangsheng's adaptation with his knowledge and understanding.
Therefore, that CD is still lying quietly in the lounge, no one cares about it.
…
On the stage, the performance at the Kyoto Opera House finally ended.
The audience burst into warm applause, and everyone was full of praise for this rehearsal.
Liao Yuan stood up, smiled, hugged Zhang Qiming, Pei Yuhong and others, and then gave a gentleman's salute to everyone present.
"good."
After Minister Guo finished appreciating "Defending the Yellow River", he finally left with satisfaction, and went with the station director Hou Yujun to review other things.
At this moment, the director Xiang Wei Hong watched the two leaders leave, then turned his head and made an OK gesture to the stage with a smile on his face, indicating that the rehearsal had passed, and greeted Liao Yuan and Zhang Qiming to come over and play back the recording just now.
Listen to them.
After all, the director is not a professional musician. Although he is in charge of the overall situation, professionals still need to listen carefully to see if there are any wrong notes during the performance.
In fact, because they had rehearsed many times in advance, the musicians at the Kyoto Opera House were already confident in their performance of "Defend the Yellow River". During the performance, although Liao Yuan heard some mistakes, they were all harmless.
Therefore, when faced with Xiang Weihong's inquiry, he nodded and approved the rehearsal recording this time.
"Just now, Director Hou, the top leader of our CCTV, and Minister Guo of the Ministry of Culture expressed their satisfaction with your performance at the Kyoto Opera House. Especially Liao Yuan, you really impressed me. You will definitely make great achievements in the future."
Xiang Weihong said with a smile, looking in a very good mood.
Liao Yuan said modestly: "It's because my colleagues cooperated well."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiming patted Liao Yuan on the shoulder and said cheerfully: "Don't be so humble. Ask the people in the regiment, without you, would this song "Defend the Yellow River" still be "Defend the Yellow River"?"
"President Zhang is right."
Xiang Weihong smiled and said: "Too much self-effacement seems a bit coy. Is it so difficult for you to admit your excellence?"
After finishing speaking, he thought of something and said with concern: "Liao Yuan, I heard from others that you are also good at performing and singing?"
Before Liao Yuan said anything, Zhang Qiming spoke up: "Guide, have you just heard of it? Do you know "Light Years Away"? This song was sung by Liao Yuan at the Xiangnan Satellite TV New Year's Eve concert.
, it has been on the Weibo hot search list for several days. Even now, this song is well-deserved to be the number one in popularity in China. If you ask me, you might as well arrange for Liao Yuan to shine his voice on the Spring Festival Gala stage to ensure the ratings.
Rate soared!”
Xiang Weihong's eyes lit up and she praised: "I just heard about it today. Although the time is very tight, it is not impossible to let Liao Yuan sing his voice. It is still easy for the host to coordinate and squeeze out a few minutes.
Yes!"
Liao Yuan was shocked. For such a grand gala, the Spring Festival Gala, could there be temporary additions to the program?
"The guide is wise!"
Zhang Qiming suddenly became excited. He pushed Liao Yuan's shoulder and said with a wink, "Teacher Liao, how can I thank the guide? You have to pay for this meal tonight!"
Xiang Weihong smiled and looked at Liao Yuan: "There is no need to treat guests. I am different from other directors. I will arrange whatever the audience likes to see. Everything is God's will."
Liao Yuan also laughed.
The Spring Festival Gala stage is open to hundreds of millions of Chinese people around the world. It is the most watched program in the world. Every second is extremely precious. For Xiang Weihong to say these words, it is obvious that she admires Liao Yuan.
Of course Liao Yuan would not refuse: "Yes, yes, but it happened suddenly and I didn't prepare in advance."
"Just sing "Light Years Away"!"
Zhang Qiming smiled and applauded: "This song is your famous song in the music industry. Now the discussion is so hot, the audience will definitely like it. Guide, this is "Light Years Away", do you want to listen? I guarantee you will like it!"
After finishing speaking, he took out his mobile phone, played "Light Years Away" in the music player, and played it for Xiang Weihong to listen to.
Xiang Weihong listened for a while and suddenly said: "Let's change it to another song!"
Liao Yuan and Zhang Qiming were both stunned.
Xiang Weihong explained: "This year's theme is China's Promise, so it is more important to sing the voice of the Chinese nation. For example, "Defend the Yellow River" is very exciting. Although "Light Years Away" is good to listen to, it does not match the theme of the program group.
No, if possible, try to tell something about China and stories about China in the song, what do you think?"
Zhang Qiming was stunned and turned to look at Liao Yuan.
When Liao Yuan heard this, he smiled and said: "This is easy! I will sing two songs and the guide will choose?"
"Hey, I like your neatness!"
Xiang Weihong didn't say much, just took out the walkie-talkie and gave some instructions.
The program unit that was originally ready to go on stage was immediately temporarily removed, and Liao Yuan once again took the stage.
This scene stunned everyone except the person involved.
People stopped what they were doing and looked towards the stage.
The two CCTV hosts on the stage received the director's message and retreated to the corner. They just looked at Liao Yuan with eyes full of emotion.
It's different when there's a backstage...
After a while, the stage lift started, and the piano that had just sunk was raised again.
The staff immediately came forward to install the microphone and conduct a sound check.
Soon, everything is ready.
The lens of the crane camera quickly aimed at the target. In order to adapt to the scene, Xiang Weihong also activated the choreography. In just a moment, the surrounding lights were extinguished, and a beam of light fell on Liao Yuan's body, full of brilliance.
In front of the piano, Liao Yuan sat upright.
He brewed his emotions for a while, and after a few seconds, he started playing slowly in full view of everyone——
ps: Let me talk about the explosive update. The event will start on the 28th. My plan is from the 28th to the 31st. I will update 15,000 words every day. 15,000 words per day is my limit. I just think about it.
, I think it’s impossible, but man can conquer nature, and salted fish should also have dreams... Don’t laugh, shut up.
