Qin Jian gasped, sat on the sofa opposite Shen Qingci's piano, picked up the mineral water on the table next to him, unscrewed it and poured it wildly, for a moment: "Brother Don't, I've been running for noon." ”

Shen Qingci smiled, his hand movements did not stop, and he continued to play, "Let's rest for a while." ”

After a pause, Qin Jian got up and came to the piano, "Xuyi." ”

While listening to Chopin's No. 1 Ballade played by Shen Qingci, Qin Jian told the other party in detail from the time he got off the plane to today.

"I'm not just coming back from Brother Dong. ”

After explaining, Qin Jian stopped talking and quietly enjoyed Shen Qingci's performance.

Even he could rarely hear the scene of Chopin played by Shen Qingci in its entirety, and after a while, he was brought to the music by the sound of the piano.

Ballade, i.e., 'telling a story in song.' ’

At different stages of his career, Chopin composed a total of four piano ballades with different styles, which were also selected for the main stage of the Chopin Competition.

Among them, Shen Qingci's "Ballade No. 1 in G Minor" is the most widely circulated.

Legend has it that the story of this ballade is based on the long poem "Konrad Warrenlord" by the famous Polish national poet Mickiewicz, which tells the story of a patriotic hero who sacrificed his life to die.

However, listening to Shen Qingci's performance does not have that feeling of pride and sorrow, if you put aside the background story of the work itself, and start from the auditory feeling alone-

Qin Jian felt like he was listening to a middle-aged man talking to himself to an abstract oil painting.

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes silent.

There is not the slightest dramatic tension.

But he just couldn't help but want to hear it, to hear it to the end.

He heard the last thing he heard at the end, and he was still listening until the piano stopped.

But the music is over.

A lighter sounded with a "click", "Have you decided which ballade to play next?"

Shen Qingci's words pulled him back.

Qin Jian replied, "I haven't decided yet, but I'm biased towards Xuyi." ”

Shen Qingci nodded, "Wait until you're done with the performance." ”

Qin Jian hummed, then took out three invitations from his bag and put them on the piano.

Shen Qingci looked at it and spat out a cigarette lightly, "Three?"

"One is Old Dean Fu's, I don't know where his old man lives, one is yours, and the other one..."Qin Jian paused here as he explained, "When I went to find Director Ye in the morning, there was no one in her office. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Qin Jian continued, "I'm going to go to the last stage in a while, and it is estimated that it will end very late, so I can only ask you~"

Moment.

Shen Qingci put away the three invitations, "Okay, I know, you can go with your business." ”

After Qin Jian left, Shen Qingci also left the office.

...

Six hours later.

The last walk of the Blue Ocean Concert Hall finally ended with 20 hours left before the show.

"Have a good rest tonight, we won't toss during the day tomorrow, and at half past four in the afternoon, the school will gather at the school gate with musical instruments. ”

At the entrance of the Poly Theater, Qin Jian told everyone again.

"In addition, I saw that two days ago, someone posted photos and small videos of the stage in the circle of friends. ”

"I posted it before, but no one should post it about tonight's content, and the panoramic stage effect should be kept secret. ”

There was a pause.

"Regarding the ticket issue for tomorrow night's performance, I apologize to everyone, and I also hope that everyone will stop chasing Tang Jie for tickets, now even I have no tickets left, I can understand your parents' desire to come to see the performance, especially the parents of students from outside the province, maybe they have to ask for leave to run this trip, but there is no way, the first show has already been sold out in addition to the tickets reserved for school leaders and co-organizers. ”

"But it doesn't matter, we have to perform ten times in a row, there are seats for the fourth and fifth performances, and the tickets for the next five performances have not been sold online, including weekend performances. ”

"Because of the nature of this performance, I hope you can understand this. ”

"But rest assured, after the whole show, each of you will get your fair share of the show, and I promise you. ”

"Finally, I wish us all the best for tomorrow night's performance. ”

"Alright, let's withdraw!"

At the end of the presentation, the team disbanded.

For Qin Jian's words, everyone understands and believes them.

In fact, the purpose and starting point of many of them participating in clubs, rehearsals, and even performances is simply to like the feeling of busyness and fulfillment, and like the atmosphere in the club.

They never thought that they would be able to get a performance fee through such a thing, which made them feel a unique spiritual experience - there is a feeling of learning art for more than ten years, and finally seeing the money back - it seems that what they have learned is still a place of value.

After everyone left, there was silence in front of the gate of the Poly Theater.

By the light of the moon, a huge blue poster was turning with a faint sheen.

In the center of the poster, a tall young man in a black tuxedo crossed his arms in front of his chest, his expression was indifferent, and the baton was glowing black in his right hand.

Beside him stood a tall young woman in a waist-cinching purple gown, her eyebrows full of confidence and pride.

In the background of the stage not far behind the two of them, there is a group of smiling faces dressed in the same gorgeous costumes and holding various musical instruments, rushing vigorously.

‘MagicFlute’

'Group: Springs of Figaro'

'Conductor: Qin Jian'

'Soprano: Ning Qianxia'

...

...

March 30, 2015.

At 17:04 p.m., there are still 3 and a half hours left before the show.

Two buses stopped outside the gate of the Poly Theater, and then a group of people got off one after another with musical instruments.

"Change your clothes backstage, change your clothes, and sing on stage. ”

Qin Jian said and walked into the theater gate first.

...

18:30。

The outside of the Poly Theatre was already bustling with activity, and the fans and enthusiastic audience who had come for the show were ready to enter the countdown.

19:00。

Private car after private car filled the underground parking lot of the Poly Theater.

Unlike in the past, in a performance like today's school, it is impossible for Qin Jian, as a conductor, to appear at the gate of the concert hall to make a cameo appearance.

But a more heavyweight is taking his place.

Li Sanli stood in front of the door of the concert hall with one hand and a cane, and from time to time people came up to greet him.

"Professor Li, I heard that today is the performance of your proud disciple. ”

"Lao Li, I'm here for you today. ”

"You old man Li, I think you're retired!"

For these, the old man smiled uniformly, and his face was capitalized with welcome.

Shen Qingci was smoking behind the pillar next to the old man, although it was not his home field today, he was dressed more formally.

Looking at the crowd in front of the door, he looked down at his watch.

"Why haven't the people come yet?" he muttered to himself.

At this moment, Ye Hailing appeared in his field of vision, and the other party looked around as he walked up the steps.

"Xiaoye!"

He shouted and took an invitation from his bosom.

。。。

19:10。

"Buzz ————"

With the sound of a bell, the four entrances of the Blue Ocean Concert Hall opened at the same time.
