Chapter 168: The Easter Egg That Returns

Time flies.

In a flash, it was time for the Mercelyn show.

One day just past, Jiang Chao took Judy to see Ding Xuan training. Jiang Chao, who was itching in his heart, simply took off his clothes and changed into shorts for fighting, and practiced with Ding Xuan for a while. It wasn't until both of them were sweating profusely that they rested.

Judy watched the game from the sidelines, watching the two go back and forth, and she was afraid that the two sides would accidentally hurt each other. Although they all wear boxing gloves and protective gear, it is actually quite scary if they hit them in the face. Isn't there often those who fight boxing on TV with flowers on their faces?

In fact, what Judy doesn't know is that in fact, it is a minority to wear a boxing sleeve and directly smash her face under the rules of boxing, and most boxers are often hit by the opponent's head when they dodge.

After the training, Grandpa Ding stayed with Jiang Chao and Judy for dinner.

Grandpa Ding happily asked, "Chaochao, this girl is your girlfriend?"

Judy bowed her head shyly.

Jiang Chao nodded generously: "Yes, her name is Judy, and she is also my high school classmate." Judy, this is the Grandpa Ding I told you!"

Judy politely bowed to Grandpa Ding: "Hello Grandpa Ding!"

"Good, good. Grandpa Ding laughed, looking at Jiang Chao and Judy's eyes very lovingly, as if looking at his own grandson and granddaughter-in-law. He looked at Ding Xuan and said with a smile: "Xuan Xuan, you also have to learn from Chaochao, and bring a girlfriend back early!"

Ding Xuan was suddenly embarrassed, "Grandpa...... I'm still ......."

Immediately everyone burst into laughter.

……

The theme of this symphony concert is "Song of Life", and the repertoire at the concert is quite difficult. There are also classics such as Beethoven's "Destiny".

Ding Xuan and Judy sat in the S seat, which had a very good hearing experience.

In general, the seating table of concerts is often divided into areas according to S, A, B, and C, although many concert halls in China are not indicated, but this is common in the world. In terms of price, the concert hall has the highest price for S seats, and then decreases in terms of A, B, and C seats.

Of course, when you are actually an audience, there is not much difference between the auditory effect of the S seat and the other seats.

At this time, the concert had not yet begun, and the scene was slightly noisy. Jiang Chao sat in his seat and watched that most of the audience were same-sex couples, or parents with children, and even many listeners who came alone, but there were very few couples. So Jiang Chao subconsciously glanced at Judy.

Feeling Jiang Chao's gaze, Judy asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chao shook his head, "It's nothing." ”

Jiang Chao just felt lucky. It's a question of who to go to the concert with. Of course, everyone wants to enjoy a concert with their favorite person, but it's not something that makes it as easy to invite anyone as watching a movie.

Classical music is not something without thresholds. For those who don't understand, sitting here for a few hours is as boring as zazen, and you can't chat during the period, which is extremely painful. Therefore, it is a poetic beauty to be able to find a partner with whom we can bring to a classical concert and to listen to Chopin's narration together.

Jiang Chao gently squeezed Judy's hand.

Judy felt that Jiang Chao's love for her seemed to be a little stronger, which made her a little confused, so she showed a shallow smirk.

The recital began.

Judy had attended a few recitals before, but she had fallen asleep on those few occasions. So this time Judy said to Jiang Chao embarrassedly: "If you fall asleep later, you have to wake me up!"

Jiang Chao couldn't help but smile.

Some people start to get sleepy when they listen to classical music. Not only do people who are not interested in classical music get sleepy when they hear it, but even those who go to concerts because they like it may not be able to resist the attack of the Sandman. I often see people who are drowsy in the audience, but the music is so beautiful and graceful that I accidentally fall asleep as soon as I relax. So Jiang Chao is not surprised that Judy would be like this.

At this point, the lighting is dimmed. Under this kind of warm lighting, it is easy to cause sleepiness. If you don't get enough sleep, you'll be confused in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the performance began, everyone threw themselves into the recital.

For those who can understand classical music, every second of a classical concert is enjoyable. For example, Jiang Chao, this time he was a pure listener, so he closed his eyes, every note played by each instrument was so pleasant, and often at a certain moment, his whole body was transparent, extremely comfortable.

And the result of listening wholeheartedly was that Jiang Chao fell asleep.

Judy was still worried that she would fall asleep, but she didn't expect Jiang Chao to fall asleep before her, and she couldn't cry or laugh for a while, but looking at Jiang Chao's cute sleeping appearance, she couldn't bear to wake up, so she quietly leaned on Jiang Chao's shoulder, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

I don't know how long it took, Judy was also confused, and the two were suddenly awakened by a burst of thunderous applause.

Jiang Chao blinked and asked a person next to him, "Is the curtain call?"

The man nodded, and suddenly looked at Jiang Chao with some familiarity: "Huh...... You're not the one?"

Jiang Chao smiled slightly and made a "shhh" gesture.

The man came to his senses, hurriedly took out a pen from his arms, and then stretched his sleeve in front of Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao was slightly stunned, understood, and signed the man's sleeve with the pen.

The man whispered to Jiang Chao: "Come on! I believe you will become the best musician in China!"

Jiang Chao just smiled in response.

The curtain call continued, and the audience applauded non-stop.

In fact, the "curtain call" at a concert does not necessarily mean the end.

At the end of the performance, the performer or conductor will retreat to the secondary stage, and even then the applause of the audience will not stop. In response to the applause, the performer or conductor returns to the stage from the side stage to greet the audience. At the same time, there is also the "Easter Egg Program". ”

Therefore, the pieces on the program of a good concert may not be all the pieces prepared by the orchestra. The applause of the audience is non-stop, and the conductor will return to continue the performance, sometimes five or six times, which is the "arrogance" of the musicians and the "convention" of the concert.

Sure enough, not long after Rondo went down, he was "invited" back by the applause of the audience. He stood on the stage and patiently listened to the applause, and then smiled slightly: "Thank you for your enthusiasm! To show our gratitude, we will perform another whole concerto, a new concerto composed by a newcomer, and today is its first appearance." After the performance is over, I will judge whether to announce the name of this talented composer based on everyone's applause!"

When everyone heard this, their reactions were different.

Some people are very happy in their hearts, and the general "return" performances are often some small pieces of relatively short time, and a whole concerto is relatively rare. Some people are a little skeptical in their hearts, can the newcomer's music be supported at such a serious recital?

Judy looked at Jiang Chao excitedly, he also looked a little excited, and nodded to Judy.

No matter what the audience thinks, the show is about to begin. The piece opens with a solo violin, and the entire recital hall falls silent as the principal violinist gently pulls out the crisp notes.
