It’s New Year’s Eve again.
This year's New Year's Eve is a bit regretful for Qin Jian.
He Jing's absence made the New Year feel a little less special, and even the home seemed deserted early in the morning.
Only he and the lonely Chopin talked to each other with the sound of firecrackers outside the window.
Early in the morning, Qin Gang and his wife went out to pick up the elderly. Due to Qin Jian's performance tomorrow night, the family cannot go to the elderly's house to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year as usual in previous years, so the couple decided to take both elderly people to their home to celebrate New Year's Eve this year.
.
In the evening, the whole family sat around the dining room, which was obviously a little crowded, and had a warm meal.
After dinner, the family gathered around the TV again and watched the annual China Television Spring Festival Gala.
It seemed that the show was still the same as the third one, and Qin Jian knew that this year's Spring Festival Gala was also scolded badly.
However, adhering to the New Year's Eve tradition of the older generation, watching the Spring Festival Gala, Qin Jian still quietly accompanied the six adults. During this period, he occasionally picked up his mobile phone to take a look and replied to two messages.
Judging from the photos sent by Ye Yi, Mr. Ye's complexion is getting better and better, and the three of them are also watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Ye Taotao also sent a message saying, "I wish my uncle a happy Year of the Sheep, and I wish my uncle's parents good health." The three of them were also watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Although it was noon at Duan Ran's place, the flavor of the New Year was not bad at all. The table of Chinese food in the photo made Qin Jian not sure who cooked it, but the four sets of tableware on the table conveyed some other information.
Qin Jian still doesn’t know about Duan Ran’s family situation.
But he had a hunch that it wasn't long before he knew all this.
Maybe this year.
From the inside, at least at this moment, he is not in a hurry.
At around eleven o'clock, Qin Jian drove the four old people back.
On the way home, he received a New Year's call from Fatty.
The two agreed to meet in Nanshi on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
"You too, help me say hello to my uncle and aunt."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Jian stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly disappeared into the slightly deserted street.
Above the lights of thousands of houses, one or two not-so-splendid fireworks occasionally flashed.
...
Early in the morning of the New Year, Qin Jian really didn't expect that the first person to call him to wish him New Year's greetings would be Fang Xiaoyu.
After being woken up by this girl, Qin Jian couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up and replied to the New Year messages one by one.
After touching the piano, it will be noon."
After lunch, Qin Jian took a nap and waited for the performance in the evening.
...
On the other side, the Municipal Cultural Center has been busy since two o'clock in the afternoon. Although there is no live TV broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala in Yangcheng, at least there is still camera and recording.
By five o'clock, the camera, recording, sound debugging, and stage lighting were all in place.
Opening at 6:30.
It is a stage for the common people. Naturally, most of the people who come to watch the party are ordinary people.
Although it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was a tradition for every family to visit relatives, but fortunately the theater in the cultural center was not big.
Counting some seats reserved in advance for leaders of municipal agencies, all 300 seats were filled in a short time.
Overall, the stage set full of Spring Festival red still has a festive atmosphere of the New Year.
Before the show officially started, children ran around in groups in front of the aisles with cheerful background music. Although the order on the scene was a bit poor, it still added some atmosphere to the festival.
At seven o'clock sharp, the music stopped and the atmosphere gradually became quiet.
Two well-dressed hosts, a man and a woman, walked out from the backstage.
The Spring Festival speech with the main theme is definitely indispensable, as is the introduction of leaders and guests, and the applause of the audience is also indispensable.
Just between the host's phrases and the audience's applause, Yangcheng's 2015 New Year Gala officially began.
The first program was a large-scale song and dance performance. Just after the host's announcement, the backstage started to move completely.
A corner.
"Master, why don't you go down and watch the show?"
“It’s the same as watching it from behind the scenes.”
So the master and the apprentice just huddled in a corner and watched. The simplicity of the stage also has the advantage of being simple, that is, you can also find a panoramic view of the stage from the backstage.
Maybe it’s because local performances are more down-to-earth, or maybe it’s because you watch them live.
Qin Jian felt that the quality of the show in Yangcheng was no worse than last night's Spring Festival Gala. He had come late to the previous rehearsals, but now he found it interesting after watching it from the beginning.
Judging from the format of the program, there are not only traditional song and dance performances, sketches and crosstalk, but also newer pantomimes, funny imitation shows, and traditional Yangcheng shadow puppet shows.
"Wow, Master, this is what happens behind the curtain of the shadow puppet show! These uncles and aunts are so amazing."
"Yes, these are all skills. Just like us, they need to be practiced and polished repeatedly in the audience."
"Yes, master, I understand."
"Understand what?"
"You are teaching me to practice the piano well in the audience."
"..."
Qin Jian was just sighing with emotion and did not mean to preach, but he said, "You're right."
An interlude of dialogue, the shadow puppet show ended, and the party came to an intermission.
During the intermission, the host came on stage again to exchange words.
Then the second half begins.
A very topical sketch - "Blind Date"
...
...
The show went by one after another, and the audience in the audience always maintained their enthusiasm.
Saw most of the show.
The content of the program is basically down-to-earth. In addition to the comedy and entertainment parts, there are also some livelihood topics that the people care about. This also reflects the depth of the program.
“It’s really a good show.”
Qin Jian sighed, stood up and took off his watch, "Xiaoyu, get ready."
"Master, I'm not nervous." Fang Xiaoyu also stood up.
As the penultimate casino show ended, the staff pushed two black SK-5s onto the stage from the backstage.
There was a small commotion in the audience.
"Wow, two pianos."
"The last program is a piano performance."
“Interesting, interesting.”
The children surrounding the stage also flashed their big eyes and looked curiously at the two behemoths on the stage.
A pair of hosts took the stage again.
Man: Hey, Xiaoxiao, have you heard of jasmine?
Woman: Of course.
Man: Have you ever heard two pianos playing Jasmine together?
...
At the backstage entrance, Qin Jian listened to the host's recitation and didn't know what to say, even though he had nodded in agreement with the recitation before.
It's really a different experience.
Finally, the host announced in unison, "Please enjoy the piano performance - Jasmine Piano Duo."
The announcement ends and the host exits
"Look at my gestures."
With that said, Qin Jian, who was wearing a black dress, took the lead on the stage.
He bowed gently amidst everyone's warm applause.
After a moment, he stretched out his hand to invite Fang Xiaoyu who was waiting.
As soon as Fang Xiaoyu, who was wearing a blue dress, appeared on the stage, the applause from the audience became even more enthusiastic.
Fang Xiaoyu sat directly in front of the lead piano at Qin Jian's invitation, and then he sat in front of the other piano.
