Chapter 404: The Envisioned Road (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala are going on one after another. Director Wang Weihong was once satisfied with the performances of Jiang Yunqiu, Wei Yehong and others.
This year's Spring Festival Gala, in addition to promoting the "Qinghai-Tibet Railway", is also focused on patriotism education and discussion of some social phenomena, so this year we can produce high-level themes such as "Singing the Motherland" and "Getting on the Train to Lazarus"
Director Wang Weihong was quite satisfied with the song, and he also trusted Zheng Qian's ability more and more.
In fact, regardless of whether Wang Weihong personally directs the next Spring Festival Gala, Zheng Qian's name will inevitably appear on the Spring Festival Gala invitation list. Even if Zheng Qian does not appear on the show, Zheng Qian's works will inevitably appear in the Spring Festival Gala.
This is probably the influence Zheng Qian has earned in the past two or three years.
No one can ignore Zheng Qian's existence, and Zheng Qian has even become the biggest highlight of the Spring Festival Gala.
When it was Zheng Qian's turn to rehearse, the auditorium was full. Although everyone had signed a confidentiality agreement, the last time Zheng Qian came to the rehearsal, there were still people who praised the wonderful song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau".
Word of mouth spread, which led to many people knowing that Zheng Qian had prepared a huge killer move for this year's Spring Festival Gala.
So much so that it attracted a steady stream of people to come and watch the performance.
When Zheng Qian stepped onto the stage and sang "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" in one breath, almost everyone in the audience was stunned.
"It's so awesome, this breath, this high pitch!"
"Zheng Qian is really the number one treble person in the singing world right now!"
"It's not just treble. Brother Qian's alto and bass are also absolutely fine. Don't just focus on Brother Qian's treble works. He also has many alto and bass works, and they are popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait!"
"This is my first time listening to Teacher Zheng live. I didn't expect that he could control his breath so steadily. He sang such a distinctive high-pitched song as easily as drinking water."
"I'm so lucky. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise I would have missed this grand performance."
"Stop talking, Zheng Qian will be my role model from now on. I didn't expect young people today to be so good. Although this song is a popular work, it conveys the feeling of looking up at the mountains."
"Don't judge a book by its appearance. Although Brother Qian is only in his twenties, his status in the mainland music scene is definitely no lower than that of some veteran kings and queens!"
"Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" completely convinced many old artists who were unfamiliar with Zheng Qian. His lung capacity and ability to control high notes are simply a miracle on earth!
Most people simply cannot sing such a song!
In other words, ordinary people simply cannot write such works!
The students of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra are all holding their heads high and proud in the audience at this moment. After all, Zheng Qian is their senior brother in a strict sense. If the senior brother can achieve such results, they, who are junior brothers, will go out.
You can also brag nonsense.
However, when they thought that it would be their turn to wait for others to play next, these young students became a little nervous.
Although there have been touring performances in Europe and even defeated the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra in Switzerland, they were only performances in a limited space. In the Spring Festival Gala, the number of people here is far larger than that of an ordinary concert hall, and watching this
The number of people watching the show is as high as one billion.
This is the largest party in the world. Even some foreigners are paying close attention to and discussing such a grand event.
"This is just a rehearsal..."
Song Huiming took a deep breath and told the brothers and sisters behind him, "Handsome beauties, cheer up. Although it is only the first rehearsal, we have played in private thousands of times. I believe that even if you close your eyes,
Even the eyes can easily play "Symphony of Destiny"..."
"Yes, don't be nervous!"
"Brother Ming, none of us are nervous, but you are! Haha!"
"Yes, yes, I'm just excited now, you know? When I thought about being able to attend the Spring Festival Gala, I didn't sleep well last night. It's not that I didn't want to sleep, but I couldn't sleep at all!"
"Me too, my parents, my teacher, my girlfriend, they all saw me on TV when I was little! When I think of this, I feel full of energy!"
"This is the Spring Festival Gala, and people all over the country will see it. The director has said that as long as we can successfully perform at the Spring Festival Gala, each of us will be given a bonus of 1,000 yuan when we go back!"
The students were all as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Everyone's face was flushed and they were so excited that they couldn't restrain themselves.
Especially after watching Zheng Qian's perfect performance, I was even more excited and impatient, looking like I couldn't wait to go on stage immediately.
Seeing this scene, Song Huiming finally understood, damn, it turned out that he was the only one who was nervous!
When he thought that he was standing on the podium and that countless people in the audience and even the country would see him on television, his whole body couldn't help but tremble and he couldn't control it at all.
Even though I have performed so many times abroad, I have never been so nervous!
Fortunately, he is facing familiar classmates and teammates. Even if he only makes mistakes, the classmates can quickly correct them. As some people said, after performing and rehearsing so many times, they can’t even make mistakes with their eyes closed.
Can perform a complete piece of music.
Of course, the role of the conductor is undoubted, so Song Huiming himself must be very alert.
"No. 22, get ready to play on the 22nd!"
The field attendant ran over, sweating profusely and yelled.
The students of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra immediately perked up. Number 22 was the order number for their program, so when they heard the prompt from the venue management, they stood up one by one.
Soon, they came to the backstage, each holding their own musical instruments and waiting. There were some staff nearby to help. Some large musical instruments such as pianos and cellos required the use of machinery to transport them.
But the speed was very fast. After everyone heard the order and came on stage, the back and forth did not take more than thirty seconds.
This is in accordance with the strictest execution standards of the Spring Festival Gala, so the actors will not be given time to wait and adjust. They must get into the state as soon as they go on stage.
Song Huiming was also informed of this in advance, so he had already adjusted his emotions while waiting backstage, and immediately entered the performance state when he came on stage.
The hundreds of students from the Military Art Symphony Orchestra are among the largest in the entire Spring Festival Gala rehearsal program, so they received enthusiastic attention as soon as they appeared on the stage.
Zheng Qian was also watching this scene in the audience. Last time, Xu Mingming had a sudden ureteral stone, so the performance was delayed. This became Xu Mingming's lifelong regret, but this time, he did not miss the Spring Festival Gala again, and his whole person glowed brightly.
He Yangguang, who has maintained a warm smile since he took the stage, is like a humble and courteous gentleman.
However, when the prelude to "Symphony of Destiny" began, the expressions of all the students changed dramatically in an instant. They seemed to be filled with regret and anger, and were full of resistance.
Like many actors and singers, performers' expression management is a must-learn lesson for many people. The emotions expressed in the music they play represent their emotions at the moment.
Only when the whole person is involved in it, and the soul and music are blended together, can a great work be played and a great performance be given to the audience.
Zheng Qian looked at these well-trained military students in the audience and said with a smile: "In the domestic music scene and the symphony field, these students are already considered to be the masters of tigers and wolves, right?"
"That's natural." Wei Yehong nodded beside him and said: "The Military Art Symphony Orchestra has now become famous internationally. Nowadays, apart from the People's Liberation Army Symphony Orchestra, the Military Art Symphony Orchestra can be said to be the most popular. There are many people in the military.
With the experience of serving in the Art Symphony Orchestra, these children will have a bright future in the industry after graduation."
Zheng Qian nodded, this was probably what he wanted to see, to bring out the fame of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra!
At this time, all the audience and staff also showed curious expressions.
Everyone knows that this military symphony orchestra was temporarily imposed by director Wang Weihong. For this reason, he also specially adjusted the appearance order of many programs and even compressed the duration of some programs.
Such a symphony orchestra has naturally become the focus of everyone's attention.
"It seems like, "Symphony of Destiny"!"
"I heard about this piece of music, but I don't understand it. Although it sounds majestic, my heart is not moved at all..."
"Exported products and foreign gadgets cannot be popular in the country!"
"Symphony music is of high quality and few people understand it. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. In Europe, this "Symphony of Destiny" has been regarded as one of the greatest symphonies of the 21st century. Zheng Qian was also praised for this piece of music.
After winning the title of God in the First World War, music experts from many countries in Europe and the United States are now asking Zheng Qian to write some other symphonic music..."
"Is it true? Zheng Qian is living abroad now? Is he so popular?"
"I don't know this either, but I know that Zheng Qian is very popular in Japan. Not only has he released a Japanese album, but all his writings have been published in Japan, and they have also been adapted into comic books, with extremely high sales!"
"It seems that Sony has already set up a project to make a "Three-Body" movie. To be honest, although I haven't seen this movie, I often hear the name of it now. This is enough to show how popular "The Three-Body Problem" is!"
"This is natural. "The Three-Body Problem" won the Hugo Award. You have to accept this fact. You know, Zheng Qian is the first Asian to win this award! No science fiction writer in Asia can win it.
Hugo Award!”
At this time, amidst people's discussions, the "Symphony of Destiny" was also played quickly by the students of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra.
The three short and one long opening interlude caught everyone's attention as soon as it appeared, as if a string in their hearts was being plucked.
Everyone was surprised.
Even director Wang Weihong felt his eyes light up in the audience. Although he had seen the video before and heard about the popularity of "Symphony of Destiny" abroad, if he didn't listen to such a performance live, he really wouldn't feel the same way.
At this time, the special prelude made all the audience who were still a little bit critical of such an imported product quickly shut their mouths.
Even a fool can tell that this symphony is extraordinary.
Extraordinary!
At that moment, people seemed to see the oncoming passion, power and courage to move forward!
I seemed to see a figure standing above the heads of all the students in the symphony orchestra.
His roar full of indignation and his strong will to challenge the feudal forces to the death!
Listening to the French horn, it seems to be blowing a trumpet tone that is changed by the motivation of fate!
Listening to the sound of the piano, it seems to be full of tenderness and lyricism.
The beautiful melody, at this moment, seems to express the author's yearning for a happy and beautiful life.
“Great work!”
Wang Weihong couldn't help but praise: "It is indeed a symphony that has been praised by so many big names in the international music scene. It is indeed worthy of its name!"
"Yes! When I listened to the video, I still felt that the momentum was not enough, but now, all the emotions that hit me are huge!" Jiang Yunqiu said in a tone that was difficult to be confident: "If I hadn't seen and heard it live, I really wouldn't dare
I believe that these children can play the emotions of such a magnificent situation!"
Jiang Yunqiu herself is also very accomplished in music. She has toured overseas all year round and has naturally seen the requirements and aesthetics of symphony in Western society. In her opinion, it is natural for "Symphony of Destiny" to be popular in the West, even in China.
In the East, the emotions contained in such music can also attract countless musicians to go crazy for it.
She once again saw Zheng Qian sitting in the corner quietly watching the performance, and her heart was quite complicated.
Is it really a good choice for such a genius to pursue an official career?
If we concentrate on creating works, will works similar to "Symphony of Destiny" be able to emerge one after another?
One of the great rejuvenations of China is cultural renaissance.
If Zheng Qian can continue to create works of this quality, China's influence in the world may reach its highest point in a century!
"I know what you're thinking."
Wang Weihong said with a faint smile: "Each of us feels like we are Bole. We have discovered a thousand-mile horse. We are so happy that we want to pave the way for this thousand-mile horse. However, we are really helping."
Is this a thousand-mile horse? Is the road we envision really a thousand-mile horse willing to run on?"
Jiang Yunqiu looked thoughtful.
Wang Weihong continued: "Of course, a genius with an IQ of over 120 can engage in any profession. This is unquestionable, but you can't just care about whether he flies far or not, but you also need to care about whether he is tired from flying.
Are you right?"
"I understand what Director Wang means."
Jiang Yunqiu smiled slightly: "If the path we envision is not consistent with the path Zheng Qian hopes to take, don't worry, we fully respect Zheng Qian's choice."
Wang Weihong nodded and said: "You can't have your cake and eat it too. We all understand this. If Commander Jiang really cares about Zheng Qian, then let Zheng Qian choose his own life!"
