Chapter 223 0223, Music Feast

The importance of a good musical instrument to a performer is self-evident.

The right musical instrument can amplify the performance effect, highlight the personal style, and provide the most direct positive feedback to the performer, just like the cello in Yo-Yo Ma's hand, which was made in 1719, and people can see the quality of music from the instrument.

Musical instruments are to performers like weapons are to warriors.

And on the blue planet.

Whether in China or abroad, if you want to find a good Chinese national musical instrument, apart from those top craftsmen and instrument collectors, there is only Wu Zhenhui's Liuyi Musical Instrument Store.

After confirming the songs that Yunfeng and Tang Yu were going to play, Wu Zhongyu asked Yan Lide to send the required instruments to Wu Zhenhui.

And...

Wu Zhongyu was a little surprised when Wu Zhenhui asked, "Why do you need to use the flute and guzheng this time?" He looked at Yan Lide with his eyes slanted, as if asking how did you tell him?

Yan Lide, on the other hand, asked back, "Didn't I tell you?"

Wu Zhenhui rolled his eyelids and said, "What did you tell me? Only the time, the place and the musical instrument."

"Really?" Yan Lide smiled awkwardly and said, "Maybe I forgot. I'm already this old, why am I angry?"

Wu Zhenhui hurriedly said, "Hey, you're the only one who's old. You're in your forties, but you're in your eighties."

He raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm being honest in front of them."

Yan Lide laughed twice and teased, "You're not ashamed to pretend to be young in front of the children."

Wu Zhongyu interrupted, "You two, you don't know how to change this old habit. You're still like before, you love to bicker as soon as you meet."

In fact, this is not the kind of bickering where one is not convinced by the other, but a manifestation of deep friendship.

As soon as Wu Zhongyu opened his mouth, the two smiled at each other and returned to the topic.

Yan Lide explained: "The guzheng and transverse flute are used by Xiaoyun and Xiaotang to play a guzheng and flute ensemble."

Wu Zhenhui joked: "There are already three songs, "Guangling San", "Remembering Playing the Flute on the Phoenix Terrace", and "Three Variations on Plum Blossoms". It's not enough. Could it be that this concert is a special performance for the two of them?"

"It's like this..." Wu Zhongyu heard this and immediately explained the intention of selecting so many songs.

"I see." Wu Zhenhui nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "It's okay to prepare for a rainy day, but from my observation, that Alvaro is not a good person. He might do something weird this time."

Yan Lide narrowed his eyes and said: "It's not your character to boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige."

Wu Zhenhui laughed dryly: "Maybe I'm worrying too much."

Wu Zhongyu pondered for a moment, then turned to Yunfeng and Tang Yu and said: "You continue and adjust your state."

As long as it does not deviate from the theme of "Eastern and Western Music and Musical Instruments", Alvaro can do whatever he wants.

She is very confident in Yunfeng and Tang Yu.

Among the young people who learn Chinese national musical instruments in China, even if there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, Yunfeng and Tang Yu's strength can be ranked in the top five.

At this time.

The "Fuxi Shentianxiang" played by Yunfeng and Tang Yu on the zither and flute successfully attracted Wu Zhenhui's attention.

Wu Zhenhui pricked up his ears, savored carefully, and captured every note that floated over.

The sound of the piano is like the sound of waves hitting the shore, one wave higher than the other, a kind of passion and heroism that makes people feel heartbroken.

Suddenly.

The melodious and crisp sound of the flute sounded, and the free and easy joy rushed out like a flood that broke through the dam.

Wu Zhenhui felt that all the pores on his body were open.

Yan Lide listened again, and it seemed a little different from what he heard before. This is not to say that the song has been changed, but that the instrument has caused a qualitative change in the song.

Wu Zhongyu, who was standing in front of Yunfeng and Tang Yu, nodded frequently, and when the performance was over, he said: "You are still a little bit behind in your proficiency in this song. While there is still time, practice more."

The song played by a skilled musician is very different from the song played by a performer.

It does not mean that playing the song completely according to the score, without a single note missing, is perfect.

You know, performers practice for no less than several hours a day. They practice all day long. For them, it is no longer proficiency, but practice to instinct. For example, they can play a song that they have practiced hundreds of times with their eyes closed, and they can also change the song in a thousand ways, and the performance is still beautiful.

Of course, Yunfeng and Tangyu are still young and in school, so they are definitely not as proficient as performers.

But...

Practicing more and becoming more familiar is always good.

Yunfeng and Tangyu thought so too.

In a flash, the sound of piano and flute filled the room.

Over and over again.

————

Located in the northeast of Rome, the Rome Concert Hall was designed by the famous Italian architect Piano.

It includes four concert halls of different sizes. The main body consists of three independent concert halls in the shape of a "品" character. The fourth concert hall is an open-air theater shaped like a bowl, which makes the entire layout unified like three beetles eating in a bowl.

On the first day of the concert, famous musicians and performers from all over the world were invited to perform.

At 7 o'clock in the evening of that day.

Yunfeng and his party arrived at the Rome Concert Hall.

This concert was held in the smallest hall with 700 seats.

However.

The broadcast rights for this concert have been sold and will be broadcast simultaneously on television and the Internet.

Without sponsorship, Alvaro alone would not be able to prepare such a concert. All the well-known musicians and performers from around the world are invited, and their appearance fees are not low.

In fact, there were not many people. Each invitee had ten tickets, and almost all of them were given away. The attendance rate was at least over 80%.

"Yeah, my favorite pianist 'Anita' went to Paris and London to give solo concerts in 1940. In August of the same year, she went to the United States to hold more than 40 concerts. She became a sensation and leapt into the forefront of contemporary excellence. The pianist comes first.”

"Oh my God, 'Braxton', the son of music! He showed his musical genius at the age of ten, combining the Russian school and the German school. He stopped playing for ten years, and returned to the stage in 45 years at the Dubai Golden Hall. The solo concert shocked the world music scene."

"'Marvin', who is known as the musical genius of the new century, entered the Licober Conservatory of Music at the age of 6. After graduating at the age of 9, he entered the Paris Conservatoire to study under the famous professor William of the French-Belgian violin school. He ranked first in the graduation competition When he graduated with honors, he was only 11 years old.”

"The King of Guitar 'Johnny' has many musical talents including composition. He gives people the impression that he is not only playing guitar, but also improvising. Every time he plays is fresh and like It’s a new performance.”

"I didn't expect that 'Eliza' would also come. She is the most influential cellist in the world today. She started learning the violin at the age of 3 and held her first concert at the age of 5."

…

Outside the concert hall, both sides of the aisle were crowded with media reporters and fans.

There were flashes of light and screams.

Although it is indeed a pity not to be able to enter the concert hall to enjoy the wonderful performances of these famous musicians and performers, it is a small consolation to be able to see their grace outside the concert hall.

Tang Yu and the other girls walked together in pairs, whispering to each other, and knew the musicians and performers who were walking on the red carpet.

Wu Zhongyu, Yan Lide, and Wu Zhenhui all looked surprised when they saw these influential figures.

but……

A complex emotion also arose in my heart, because this is a fact that I have to accept. The influence of Chinese and even Eastern musicians and performers is relatively greater than that of foreign musicians and performers. A big difference.

As for Yunfeng, he didn't know any of these people.

It has only been more than a year since I traveled to Blue Star. Although I studied music, most of the foreign musicians and performers I know so far are those who composed classic music and proposed music theories, and they have already passed away.

Ma Siyu, Wang Defa, Yun Yun, and Yun Lin on the side are actually not much different from Yun Feng, and they basically don't know each other.

Furthermore, I came here not to see these musicians and performers, but to support Yun Feng and Tang Yu.

Sudden.

Yunfeng and others laughed when they heard a rich and magnetic man's voice: "Little brother, I didn't expect to see you here."

Follow the sound.

They saw a middle-aged man in Tang suit walking towards them with a smile.

After Yunfeng saw the other person's appearance clearly, he smiled happily and shouted: "Brother Liu, long time no see."

This person is Liu Hong, the Chinese drummer who Chen Cheng invited to record the song "Swordsman".

Tang Yu naturally recognized him and greeted him politely: "Brother Liu."

In fact, among the group of them, Liu Hong saw Yun Feng who was walking on the far side, but did not see Tang Yu who was with a few girls. He hurriedly said: "I'm here, my old girl. Hello, hello." ”

"Hmph..." At this moment, Wu Zhenhui suddenly said coldly: "Old Liu, do you not take me seriously at all?"

Liu Hong turned his head and looked, "Oh!" and said hurriedly: "Brother Wu, I'm sorry, I really didn't see you."

The two of them are also old acquaintances.

Wu Zhenhui raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked: "Didn't you go to Africa to find inspiration?"

Liu Hong laughed and said: "Isn't this an invitation from Alvaro? I just thought that I could meet old friends by coming to this concert. Look, I bumped into you guys."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yunfeng and his group walked towards the entrance of the concert hall.

Because Liu Hong was going to perform on stage, he broke up and went backstage after entering the concert hall.

Yun Lin, who was following closely behind Yun Feng, looked around the inside of the concert hall and whispered, "Brother, this Rome Concert Hall looks inconspicuous from the outside, but it's quite beautiful inside."

Yunfeng smiled faintly and said: "How can a concert hall named after the country's capital be bad?"

The group looked at their tickets and found their seats.

Although it's not in the middle, it's okay, not at the very edge.

In fact, to listen to a concert, you must have a good seat, otherwise you will just hear the noise in every corner.

There are usually four types of concerts: recital, concerto, chamber music, and symphony.

If you listen to a symphony, it is basically a hall with 2,000 or 3,000 seats. If your seat is on the left and the French horn is directly facing you, your mind will be "woo-woo" after the whole concert. If you are seated at the back, you will hear The cello sounds louder, while the violin sounds like a mosquito.

This concert is a solo concert, that is, a performance of a single instrument, such as a piano solo, or a certain instrument accompanied by another instrument. In the 700-seat small hall, as long as the seats are not in the outermost circle, they are all OK.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the concert officially began.

The organizer Alvaro came on stage and gave a long speech of thanks.

Then.

The lights gradually dimmed, leaving only a beam of silver light shining on the pianist in the middle of the stage.

The first performer was the pianist Anita.

"Ding Ding Ding..."

A brisk and rapid melody sounded, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the audience.

Turning his head, Yunfeng saw that everyone was listening attentively, and the whole concert hall was silent.

From the perspective of appreciating music itself, listening to music is to taste, appreciate, enjoy, and relax.

Moreover, on the spot, you can see the performance status of each musician and performer, especially those who play with their lives without any traces of performance, which can affect the audience's understanding of the song.

At this time, the piano sound stopped abruptly, and thunderous applause rang out from the audience.

Anita stood up and greeted everyone's applause.

A performer is a performer. The same piece of music will make people intoxicated from the beginning, and people can hear the content of the music title.

The second person to perform on stage was Liu Hong, the Huaxia drum performer.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

Like a sudden rain, the rapid drum beats, like a thousand horses galloping, and like spring thunder rolling, poured into everyone's ears like a tidal wave.

One person, one drum, can bring such a monstrous momentum, how can it be described with just one word "strong"!

Yunfeng sighed secretly.

Last time in the recording studio of the Blue Music Group, what I saw was not Liu Hong's true level at all. It turns out that the Huaxia drum skills have reached the hall level.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for the performer's level, he wouldn't have been invited by Alvaro.

The applause from the audience didn't stop for a long time.

After Liu Hong bowed to express his gratitude, he left the stage with a smile on his face.

Next...

One after another, highly skilled musicians and performers presented perfect musical masterpieces on the stage.

The sound, like the sound of nature, has been filling everyone's ears.

At the end of the finale, accompanied by the surging applause, all the Eastern and Western musicians and performers who had just performed returned to the stage to bow and present a sincere gift.

Tonight, they brought a musical feast to the audience in the concert hall, as well as the audience watching TV and online live broadcasts.

"This should be the first time that so many musicians and performers have gathered together to perform."

"Why don't you sell tickets? It would be such a pleasure to listen to it live!

"It's so powerful, my ears are pregnant."

"I didn't expect that there are so many beautiful instruments, music, and powerful musicians and performers in our East."

"Yes, more concerts of Eastern and Western music and instruments like this should be held. "
