Chapter 214: A Battle of Life and Death
Early the next morning, the orchestra began its first rehearsal.
Pei Hongyu took out twelve points of spirit, the first to arrive at the Kyoto Opera House, everyone present was older than her, and her qualifications were older than her, although she had a strong musical talent, but in the entire era of seniority, she must do a good job of the responsibility of a junior.
At the scene, making tea and pouring water, mopping the floor and sending out papers, etc., Pei Hongyu almost did everything.
But during the rehearsal, her outstanding performance was no less than that of any violinist, and was greatly praised by Zhang Qiming, among the twenty-six violinists, the only one who played a good note in every rehearsal was Pei Hongyu.
Many people also know that Pei Hongyu is an artist under Liao Yuan, and they do not hesitate to praise it and treat it politely.
After all, everyone at the scene was able to show their faces at the state banquet, which was completely stained with Liao Yuan's light.
Therefore, for some of Pei Hongyu's musical questions, the seniors also did not hesitate to give advice.
It can be said that in this short period of one week, Pei Hongyu has grown greatly, she has learned some fingering and techniques from these predecessors in the industry, and then integrated them to create her own performance style, and her musical attainments can be called by leaps and bounds.
Liao Yuan saw it in his eyes, and he was also happy in his heart.
Pei Hongyu is extremely talented and has a strong learning ability, especially in the recent improvement of her violin skills, and she definitely has a unique style.
Liao Yuan already has the idea of releasing a music album for Pei Hongyu.
But before that, her fame still has to be accumulated.
In this industry, violin level 10 and piano level 10 are actually useless, and peers in the industry pay attention to the experience of the competition and the ranking of the competition.
And the experience of the competition comes with fame in the industry, and with fame, Pei Hongyu's album can be paid by fans.
For example, Liao Yuan, an international piano competition, several domestic and foreign exchange meetings, has brought him great popularity, coupled with the songs created before and after, with the spread of the work, Liao Yuan's name is also famous.
The direct benefit is that the leaders of overseas countries have mentioned Liao Yuan slightly at the national level, which is why there is the current state banquet recital.
The maximum time stipulated for the concert is six minutes, and in these six minutes, everyone has to gather the three musical works of "Defending the Yellow River", "Dongfang Hong" and "The Internationale" into a concerto to perform.
Until the last day before the state banquet, there were still some musicians on the scene who would play the wrong note, which made Zhang Qiming have a headache.
Although the musicians at the Kyoto Opera House are experienced, there is still a certain gap between them and some of the real grandmasters, international musicians.
Therefore, there will still be a few people who make mistakes due to tension and pressure during the week's rehearsal, especially as the time is getting closer and closer, and there are more such mistakes.
If it is for an ordinary audience, it is absolutely harmless to make a mistake or two, but what is facing the eyes of the world at the moment is related to the face of the entire China, Zhang Qiming absolutely hates this kind of mistake.
For this reason, when going to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse for the last rehearsal, Zhang Qiming gathered all the musicians, bowed deeply, and said solemnly: "Comrades, this performance is extraordinary, we are facing the heads of state, and there is only one rehearsal opportunity for the rehearsal, I hope you can give 12 points of energy to deal with it." I am very happy that Comrade Liao Yuan was able to invite me to be the commander, but at the same time, I also know that this is a road of no return, we can only move forward, not backwards, our pressure is unprecedentedly huge, on the scene, as long as we make a mistake, then we may face an abyss, we will be ridiculed by our peers all over the world, I believe you should also understand this truth......"
Although the forty-six musicians at the scene were silent, they all nodded heavily and clenched the instruments in their hands vigorously.
Finally, Zhang Qiming bowed to the orchestra members again.
The musicians at the scene were also busy paying tribute.
Soon, all the musicians put on their uniform costumes and boarded the bus one after another to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse for the last rehearsal before the performance.
Liao Yuan walked at the end and said to Zhang Qiming: "Teacher Zhang, your words are too heavy, the more you should relax at this time, even if you make a mistake, it doesn't matter, and it's not a real matter of life and death......"
Zhang Qiming paused, turned around, looked at Liao Yuan, and suddenly smiled: "Liao Yuan, I admire your mentality, you don't look like a person of your age at all, maybe this is the secret of you being able to guarantee a good sound during rehearsals, but I must say that this is really a battle, a battle that is more serious than life and death, for me and all the musicians, even if we die on the battlefield, as long as we don't embarrass the country, it's worth it." ”
Liao Yuan looked at Zhang Qiming, whose expression was becoming more and more solemn, and was slightly moved.
He took a deep breath and smiled, "You're right, Teacher Zhang. ”
Zhang Qiming grinned and patted Liao Yuan's shoulder, "Let's go, get in the car!"
Afterwards, everyone got on the bus and went to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
Diaoyutai was originally named after Emperor Jin Zhangzong of the Ming Dynasty who built a platform to fish here, belonged to the royal garden, is a well-known scenic spot at home and abroad, in the middle of the last century, the country expanded and built on the basis of Diaoyutai Scenic Area, established a state-level hotel, used as a place for visiting state guests to stay and meet, and meeting.
So far, the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse has received more than 1,000 heads of state from all over the world, and is a place that has attracted the attention of people and media from all over the world.
Different from Liao Yuan's external business in his previous life, in this life, this place belongs to the Foreign Affairs Hotel, which is difficult for ordinary people to enter, and even the richest man in the country will be turned away without permission.
It was opened to the public a few years ago, but it was only for tours.
In recent years, there has been no other way than to see the scene on TV.
The Kyoto Opera Orchestra underwent strict security checks before being allowed to enter the State Guesthouse.
Whether in his previous life or in this life, Liao Yuan is also the first time to set foot on this level of venue, and the surrounding gardens retain the buildings of the Ming Dynasty, as if he was in ancient times in an instant.
Along the way, there are a variety of scenery.
Soon, in the splendid and antique living room, nearly 50 members of the orchestra began their last rehearsal before the state banquet under the supervision of the surrounding security personnel.
