Chapter 388 The world is watching

The entire staff of the Lausanne Opera House felt incredibly shocked.

"This group of young people, who only look like teenagers, can actually perform such a majestic symphony!"

"Did you see that pianist? Look at his swaying figure and his hands as he plays with hammers. It seems like Mr. Zheng himself is playing!"

"Are all Chinese pianists playing in this way?"

"This is the "March of Steel Torrent", a work by Mr. Zheng. It was also popular in Europe for a while. At that time, many symphony orchestras played this piece of music."

Accompanied by the performance of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra, pieces of music appeared that amazed the staff on site.

For example, "The Soul of the Chinese Army", "My Motherland", etc.

There are also "Breath and Life", "Tennessee", etc.

For example, "Soviet March" and "Katyusha", which were popular in Russia, also appeared.

Everyone felt like they had been baptized by their souls, which was an experience they had never experienced before.

Finally, Junyi came up with "Symphony of Destiny" which had been rehearsed for a month.

When the prelude of "dong dong dong" sounded, everyone felt their hearts tighten, just like hearing the evening drums and morning bells, and they all felt the indelible will coming from this symphony.

It's like struggling and fighting!

It’s like grabbing fate by the throat!

Except for the sound of music, there was no sound in the entire opera hall.

Everyone held their breath!

Even Zheng Qian, sitting in the audience seat in the center of the stage, watching the students' performance and listening to the majestic music, felt a slight tremor in his heart.

Being able to bring the great symphony music that was famous in his previous life to this place gave Zheng Qian a sense of accomplishment, but it also made Zheng Qian feel sad in his heart.

Finally, when the rehearsal ended, everyone applauded spontaneously. The people in charge and staff of the opera house also looked at the young students with disbelief, while applauding.

“What a great symphony!”

"Especially the last symphony, it is simply God playing! It is so intense and moving!"

"A very perfect performance. This is no longer a rehearsal, but a complete, formal performance!"

"I'm very lucky to be on duty today. I can hear such music. It's so touching and inspiring!"

"These symphony orchestras from China seem to want to communicate with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra in Poland. I often hear this news in the music world recently!"

"The Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra is indeed great, but judging from the current live rehearsals, I prefer the performances of these Chinese people!"

"Yes, I can't refute it! It is indeed worthy of being the Chinese Symphony Orchestra that even Kazmer pays attention to!"

"No wonder Serchiak and the others lost to a Chinese musician..."

"This is shameful, isn't it? Symphony originated in Europe, and now Eastern countries can perform at such a level! Can't Western symphony orchestras reach this level?"

"I still believe that the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra has the ability to defeat these Chinese people, although I really like their performance!"

Amidst the thunderous applause, many staff members exchanged ideas excitedly. Especially when they learned that these Chinese musicians were about to challenge the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the top European symphony orchestra, everyone felt shocked and incredible.

But at the same time, after listening to the performance of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra, I felt that it was natural for this to happen.

With such a level of performance, the Military Art Symphony Orchestra is definitely among the best in Europe and the United States.

Zheng Qian has been paying attention to the status of the staff next to him.

Although Lou Ze thinks they should be asked to leave, after all, "Symphony of Destiny" is their trump card, it can have a "kill" effect at critical moments, and it is difficult to leak it in advance.

But his confidence in "Symphony of Destiny" made Zheng Qian behave calmly and calmly.

Just listen.

No big deal.

The reason why a Divine Comedy like "Symphony of Destiny" can continue to be popular for two hundred years after its birth is enough to show that in the long river of time and history, the Divine Comedy will not be easily washed away, but will

As time and history accumulate, it becomes more and more profound.

Even if it is the tenth time or a hundred times of listening, the Divine Comedy will still not fall from the altar for one reason or another.

However, it was precisely because of Zheng Qian's confidence that "Symphony of Destiny" quickly spread throughout the Swiss music scene the next day.



In a top concert hall.

Kazmer held the coffee and sipped it slowly.

Opposite him, the famous Swiss cellist Harrison was vividly describing what happened at the Lausanne Opera House two days ago.

"I sneaked in secretly and listened to the rehearsal performance of the China Symphony Orchestra."

The sky in Lausanne was very cold, but there was a trace of sweat on Harrison's forehead: "I really can't believe that these Chinese little guys have such admirable playing ability. When they are not playing, they seem to be

They are emotionless performance machines, but once on the stage, everyone seems to have turned into a movie star. Everyone's expressions are so colorful and will change with the ups and downs of the music..."

Harrison quietly glanced at Kazmaier, and seeing Kazmaier's expressionless face, he continued: "I didn't hear "Victory" and "Dance of the Goddess." Mr. Zheng didn't seem to be on stage. Only the symphony orchestra was playing.

, such as "Soviet March" and "Katyusha", they all performed, and what shocked me most was that they seemed to have prepared a trump card!"

trump card?

Kazmer's expression finally changed. He raised his head and asked, "What trump card?"

"I don't know the specific name, but this symphony is the first time I have encountered it in my life. It is really shocking. Every time I play it, it seems to be beating my heart. I can learn from the music.

I could hear the surging wave of emotions, which kept washing over my brain, bringing me an experience I had never had before. If I were to describe this experience, it would probably be that a person was forced into a desperate situation, and then left to die.

Afterlife!"

Harrison said with lingering fear.

Kazmer picked up the coffee again and sipped it slowly.

His eyes flickered for a moment, then dimmed again, becoming dull again.

"Very good, that's what makes it interesting!"

Kazmer took a deep breath, thought for a while, and then smiled: "No matter what the outcome is, let the storm come more violently!"

As an internationally renowned and top-notch musician, personally leading the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra to communicate with an unknown Chinese symphony orchestra is already a very low-priced act.

Regardless of whether the performance level of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra exceeds that of the Military Symphony Orchestra.

It doesn't matter whether the result is a win or a loss.

For Kazmer, everything was actually lost.

He has seen the resumes of all the members of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra. The oldest is only in his early twenties, and they are all a group of college students. It is an incredible thing to compete with these long-established grand pianists.

Normally, when these students see musicians like them, they would come up screaming and ask for autographs and photos!

But now, everyone is standing on the same starting line.

If even this group of college students can't compete, then their Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra will be on the verge of disbanding.

"perhaps."

Kazmer stroked his gray beard and sighed: "It's really time to retire."



The music exchange meeting personally initiated by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and the Military Art Symphony Orchestra spread throughout Europe and the United States, but there was little media coverage in China.

Now, the leaders of the Olympic Bid Committee are actively promoting the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in Lausanne.

Relevant advertising videos began to be played repeatedly in the streets and alleys of Lausanne, and some posters also began to be posted at important traffic locations.

Jing Weimin even took Cheng Long, Zheng Qian and others to the Olympic headquarters. Under the hot pursuit of the media, they visited the International Olympic Committee.

Not to mention Zheng Qian, Cheng Long, a Hollywood Kung Fu superstar, has already attracted a swarm of reporters, including local media. This is much more reliable than the Olympic bid committee going to the media in person.

Cheng Long obviously knew how popular he was. He kept waving to the cameras and fans in the distance, shouting for everyone to support the Beijing Olympics.

In comparison, Zheng Qian's popularity lags far behind.

The popularity of Fang Yaping and Liu Dazhi is even lower, and almost no one knows them.

But the two of them are the best in their respective fields, so they must exist among the image ambassadors, and they are also the pride of the Chinese people.

Zheng Qian and Cheng Long are responsible for the facade publicity.

Fortunately, Zheng Qian has lived up to expectations. After all, he is also the focus of attention from people in the European music industry. In recent days, he has been constantly focused and discussed.

Therefore, Zheng Qian himself also has his own talking points. What’s more, Zheng Qian was also popular in the European and American music circles earlier, with many consecutive songs on the top of Billboard magazine’s singles chart. Although he has not been active in Europe and the United States, he is also

Many media couldn't help but interview Zheng Qian.

However, Zheng Qian did not respond to these gossips and refused to answer anything that was not related to the Beijing Olympics.

Although the media also felt unhappy, they still honestly followed the rules and asked questions in the end.

"The Beijing Olympics are three years away. Mr. Zheng, will you participate in the performances at the Beijing Olympics?"

"This is inevitable."

"I heard that the theme song for the Beijing Olympics has been composed. Is it composed by Mr. Zheng?"

"Yes."

"..."

After some boring related questions, Zheng Qian and others began to visit the Olympic Committee headquarters under the leadership of Jing Weimin and International Olympic Committee President Leo Ackerman.

During the visit, Olympic Committee Chairman Ackerman asked with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, welcome to Lausanne. Thank you very much for accepting my invitation. I think that the exchange with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra will not let you down."

Are you in trouble with your symphony orchestra?"

"It's okay." Zheng Qian shook his head.

Ackerman said with a smile: "That's good. I am also entrusted by others. Kazmer is my good friend. I can't refuse his entrustment. At the same time, I also want to take a look at the top players in the international music scene."

What kind of fireworks will these two talented musicians create when they collide in Lausanne?"

Zheng Qian smiled and said: "You will see it soon."

Ackerman nodded.

Indeed you will see it soon.

Yesterday, Kazmer shouted from afar, inviting Zheng Qian and the Military Art Symphony Orchestra to meet at the Basel City Casino Concert Hall two days later.

At that time, the two sides will compete in the city casino concert hall.

Because this exchange meeting after the beginning of the new year has been built up by all parties, the momentum has become louder and louder, and more and more people from all parties are paying attention to it.

Therefore, the Basel City Casino Concert Hall in the next city warmly extended an invitation to Kazmer and Zheng Qian, inviting both parties to the City Casino Concert Hall to participate in exchanges.

Both Zheng Qian and Kazmail readily agreed to such an invitation.

Because the Basel City Concert Hall, the Vienna Golden Hall, and the Amsterdam Concert Hall are known as the three major concert halls in Europe, its status and scale are evident.

This concert hall is located in the center of Barefoot Square in Grand Basel, Switzerland.

The concert hall was built in 1876 and has 1,508 seats. It is famous all over the world for its outstanding acoustics. At the same time, it is also the residence of the Basel Symphony Orchestra. Like the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the Basel Symphony Orchestra is also the world's top orchestra.

orchestra.

Although it is not as famous as the former, the strength of the Basel Symphony Orchestra is among the first echelon of the European music scene and cannot be underestimated.

Being invited to the Basel City Concert Hall is a huge honor for any musician.

So both Zheng Qian and Kazmail agreed to this.

After this news came out, not only the European music scene was excited, but the Asian music scene also followed suit. Musicians from Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia and other countries also woke up from their dreams and set their sights on Basel, Switzerland.

Almost musicians all over the world are excited.

Soon, Chinese musicians also heard the news.

For a time, the domestic music scene also caused a strong shock.

"Zheng Qian actually led the Military Art Symphony Orchestra to compete head-on with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra in Europe!"

"What kind of magical plot is this?"

"Military Art Symphony Orchestra? Is it the college student orchestra that was very popular last year? My younger brother clamored to apply for this school, but the score line was raised and he was not admitted!"

"A group of college students studying music are going to compete against famous musicians who are famous all over the world? Is there anything wrong?" "Oh my god, it's exciting, it's so exciting!"

"I know about this. The whole story line is actually very simple. Do you still remember? Last year, Zheng Qian beat three great pianists and musicians to tears in Poland. Then they refused to accept it and beat the strongest in the country.

Kazmer, a great musician, was moved out. This time, Zheng Qian went to challenge Kazmer! This matter has been widely spread abroad, but we have just started to hear about it in China? "

"Friendly reminder, Kazmail has won hundreds of heavyweight music awards in his life, and he was also given a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Grammy Music Awards in the past two years!"
