Chapter 241: Two Pianists
On the 28th day of the lunar month.
Today is the last all-element rehearsal before the Spring Festival Gala.
There are more than 50 programs in the whole party, and every all-element rehearsal will be treated as a formal program.
Before today, the organizing committee has filmed three complete program videos, and although each program has been rehearsed many times, there will still be performers who make performance mistakes during live performances, in this case, the organizing committee needs to think more about preparation.
Although the Spring Festival Gala is broadcast live, there will be a delay of about 30 seconds, and this 30-second delay is to deal with the situation that the show may go wrong, so some pre-recorded materials will be cut in to supplement it.
The Kyoto Opera House rented two buses in advance to take the opera musicians to Fuxing Road, the CCTV building.
Liao Yuan carried a backpack and a baseball cap, and together with dozens of musicians, led by the staff, walked all the way to the backstage lounge of the studio.
It was the first time that the musicians of the Kyoto Opera House came to rehearse all the elements, which was quite surprising in other programs, but then everyone reacted that this was probably the only program "Defending the Yellow River" that had not appeared before, so everyone's eyes brightened up all of a sudden.
So in the huge corridor, some dancers in national costumes, sketch actors with fake beards, magicians in tuxedos, and glamorous star singers all stopped in place one by one, looking at the Kyoto Opera House team of fifty or sixty people.
Soon, surrounded in the middle, Liao Yuan, who was wearing a baseball cap, came into everyone's eyes.
Singer Zhan Minghan's face flushed excitedly, he was the first to cross the crowd, stretched out his hands, and walked towards Liao Yuan with a smile: "Teacher Liao, I finally saw you!"
Someone behind him snickered.
"This Zhan Minghan has been talking about finding Liao Yuan since the first rehearsal, and he is almost enchanted. ”
"Midlife crisis, ah......"
"I just added "The Masked Singer" to win the championship this year, but what is the crisis?"
"The number of retweets on his recent Weibo is not even 500, isn't this a crisis?"
"Also, Zhan Minghan's singing skills are good, but he doesn't have a personal masterpiece, which is very embarrassing. ”
Before this year, Zhan Minghan was still unknown, just a tenor singer on the fringes of the entertainment industry.
But since participating in the singing competition program "Masked Singer" held by Shonan Satellite TV, it has become popular all the way.
Especially a few months ago, after winning the championship of the show, his popularity skyrocketed, and he almost became a first-line singer.
However, fans are very realistic, after taking off the mask, because of the external conditions such as age and appearance, it does not quite meet the current fans' worship standards for Xiao Xianrou, so the popularity time is not long.
Although he accepted the invitation of CCTV, whether it is inside or outside the industry, it can be clearly felt that Zhan Minghan's popularity is gradually declining with the end of "The Masked Singer".
His representative works are just some cover songs.
As for the original work that belongs to the individual, it is not very popular.
Therefore, Zhanmingham is in dire need of some excellent works to stabilize or even increase his popularity.
And the birth of the grand pianist Liao Yuan can be said to have dropped a nuclear bomb in the entertainment industry, which shocked all singers.
Let's not talk about the skins he wrote to Lucky Girl 101, just "Light Years Away" that appeared at Shonan Satellite TV's New Year's Eve concert not long ago detonated the entire entertainment industry, and dominated the first place on the Weibo hot search list for three consecutive days, and its popularity was unmatched for a while
Even now, "Light Years Away" is still popular on major music networks, with hundreds of thousands of comments.
Jianghu and rumors, Hong Kong singer Ai Shidu personally visited the door and invited Liao Yuan to cooperate.
Not to mention other well-known or unknown singers, the number of people is like a carp crossing the river, countless.
Like many singers, after learning about Liao Yuan's itinerary, Zhan Minghan also went to the hotel impatiently to surround Liao Yuan.
But he returned empty-handed again and again, and he didn't even have the opportunity to meet Liao Yuan.
Now, Liao Yuan finally appeared backstage in the studio of the Spring Festival Gala, and Zhan Minghan was excited all of a sudden.
This is the first month near the water!
After experiencing "The Masked Singer", he has understood that although the stage is important, the stage only provides a place to show, and no matter how big the stage is, it is impossible for a singer to be popular forever.
When the singer leaves the stage, if there is no excellent work to maintain, no matter how high the popularity will gradually decline.
If he can cooperate with Liao Yuan, then, with his singing skills, he will definitely be able to reach a pivotal point in the music world.
In the past few days, whenever this thought comes to his mind, Zhan Minghan can't help but be excited.
Therefore, in the face of the whispers of the people behind him, Zhan Minghan was completely deaf.
Such a face-to-face opportunity is quite rare, and he must seize it and seize it firmly.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhan Minghan was incoherent with excitement, he held Liao Yuan's hand hard, and kept shaking: "I specially, especially like your works, and I can be regarded as your fan, my name is Zhan Minghan, and I am a singer......"
Although the entire corridor is very spacious, the number of people is large, and it is instantly crowded.
The security personnel witnessed this scene and hurriedly stepped forward to clear the crowd.
Those who can come to the Spring Festival Gala are all top figures in the industry, although Liao Yuan has been very popular recently, most of them just looked at it curiously, and then turned away.
But even so, there are still many people who follow around, wanting to talk to Liao Yuan and get acquainted with it.
Liao Yuan politely talked with Zhan Minghan as he walked.
The latter was like a dog skin plaster, followed behind Liao Yuan, and laughed: "You don't know, when I learned that you were on the list of the Spring Festival Gala, I rushed to the capital as soon as possible, your "Light Years Away" I have been reciting it backwards recently, and there are other works, "If there is an afterlife", "On the shore of Lake Baikal", are all collected in my song list, I admire your talent, haha, I have been in the capital for a month, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to meet my brother - now it is really late to see each other!"
Zhan Minghan's enthusiasm was seen by the people around him, and he sneered in his heart.
Lick the dog to the end, and there will be nothing left.
At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "Teacher Liao, I am Hou Kangsheng, you can call me Ah Sheng, I am your fan, the first time we meet, please accept the gift of my little fan." ”
Wow, it's another licking dog!
When everyone turned around, they saw a young man with short burgundy hair, wearing a black leather jacket in a punk style, holding a box of gifts, stretching out his hands, smiling and bending over, while handing the gift to Liao Yuan, with a very respectful attitude.
Liao Yuan was stunned, he pushed the gift back and said with a smile: "Hello Ah Sheng, I don't accept gifts." ”
Hou Kangsheng was stunned for a moment, his face turned red and said, "It's not something valuable, it's just a little bit of my mind......"
At this time, Zhang Qiming next to him smiled and said, "This friend, Mr. Liao will have a rehearsal later......"
"I know, I won't disturb Mr. Liao's rehearsal, but you must accept this gift!"
After Hou Kangsheng finished speaking, he forced the gift in his hand to Liao Yuan, and then turned around and left.
"Hey, this friend ......"
Seeing this, Zhang Qiming wanted to say something, but Hou Kangsheng had already run out of sight.
Liao Yuan reluctantly accepted the gift, and Zhan Minghan next to him said with a smile: "Is this Hou Kangsheng also a singer? Why am I not impressed? I haven't seen the rehearsal before, did he sneak in? Now the CCTV security check is too unreliable." ”
Someone replied: "Hou Kangsheng is the son of Director Hou. ”
Director Hou?
Zhan Minghan muttered, and CCTV director Hou Yujun instantly sounded in his mind, his face suddenly changed, and he said with a dry smile: "It turned out to be Hou Gongzi, I said why is it so familiar, and his father really looks like him, I also saw Director Hou in the studio a few days ago to inspect, Director Hou is handsome and chic, I didn't expect Hou Gongzi to also inherit his father's genes, handsome scum, it's a hero out of a teenager, haha!"
What a licking dog......
The people around him were horrified.
At this time, Liao Yuan and the others had already come to the lounge, and when Zhan Minghan also wanted to follow in, Zhang Qiming raised his hand and stopped: "Mr. Zhan, we need a little space to discuss the next rehearsal, if you have nothing to do......
"Understood, understood!"
Zhan Minghan nodded hurriedly, then stood on tiptoe, raised his head and shouted at Liao Yuan in the room: "Teacher Liao, after the rehearsal is over, you must have a face-to-face meal!"
......
The Kyoto Opera House's lounge is a large dance studio that has been converted into a dance studio for the opera house musicians to practice.
According to the program schedule, "Defending the Yellow River" was arranged in the middle and front stage, that is, around 9 o'clock in the evening, and the performance often could not exceed 6 minutes and 13 seconds, which was about the same as the performance duration of the state banquet.
The Organizing Committee of the Spring Festival Gala attached great importance to the last all-element rehearsal, because this time, in addition to Hou Yujun, director of CCTV, even Guo Gan, vice minister of culture, also came to the scene in person to give advice.
In the studio, a group of folk dance programs are being rehearsed.
In the audience, Xiang Wei Hong smiled and introduced to the two leaders: "This is the fourth all-element rehearsal, and all the program recordings have been backed up, which can ensure that even if the live broadcast situation is not an accident, it can be remedied as soon as possible and will not affect the overall situation." ”
Hou Yujun nodded, and asked instead, "Are the people from the Kyoto Opera House here?"
Xiang Weihong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "It's here, and I'm preparing in the lounge now." ”
Hou Yujun glanced at Minister Guo and ordered: "Let them rehearse in advance, don't let Minister Guo wait for a long time." ”
Xiang Weihong came to his senses and hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie: "Xiao Wang, arrange for "Defending the Yellow River" to play next! What? Don't ask why, arrange it immediately!"
At this time, Guo Gan looked back and smiled: "It's okay, I'm just here to discuss some work matters with Director Hou, although "Defending the Yellow River" is a program hand-picked by the chief, but I have listened to it many times, and my ears are calloused, and it is the same when I listen to it." ”
Although Minister Guo said this, Xiang Weihong's party spirit was high enough, and he replied with a smile: "Minister Guo misunderstood, in fact, in our program sequence, the next one to appear is "Defending the Yellow River". ”
Guo Qian smiled, nodded and said, "That's okay, just listen to it by the way?"
"Yes, by the way. Hou Yujun laughed.
......
After receiving the notice of the scene, the musicians of the Kyoto Opera House were stunned.
"No, we still have two shows in front of us that haven't appeared, right?" Zhang Qiming wondered.
The scene reporter also scratched his head: "This is the guide's order, it may be that the plan has changed, and it is temporarily arranged." ”
Everyone looked at each other, but they still packed up their instruments and followed the scene notes to the studio.
The piano in the lounge was also carefully carried onto the rail car by a group of staff members and pushed to the studio.
When everyone walked on the stage, they immediately felt a sense of relaxation and joy.
"It's huge!"
"This is the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, the decoration is so good!"
"It's so dignified to play in a place like this!"
"Thanks to Mr. Liao!"
"Yes, without Teacher Liao, I am afraid we will not be able to make it to the Spring Festival Gala in our lifetime. ”
"Look at your little bit of interest, we have all served the state banquet, do you still care about a Spring Festival Gala?"
“...... 666, comrade!"
"Float, you keep floating!"
As soon as the last folk dance program ended, the musicians of the Kyoto Opera House took to the stage one by one in the order they had been arranged.
Violinist Pei Hongyu stood on the left side of everyone, her palms nervously covered with sweat.
Everyone is almost in the same state as Pei Hongyu at the moment, even if it is just a rehearsal, their hearts are pounding and beating rapidly.
It was only after everyone sat down in their chairs and took a few deep breaths that they felt a little settled.
At the same time, Liao Yuan also came to the bottom of the stage, and he will ride the lifting platform with the piano and appear on the stage.
The music conductor Zhang Qiming took out his baton and stood on the podium, his gaze sank slightly, and then he slowly raised his hands.
Everything is ready to go.
Offstage, director Hou Yujun swept the musicians on the stage and asked, "Which one is Liao Yuan?"
Xiang Weihong hurriedly replied: "This is a piano concerto, Liao Yuan is the protagonist, he will appear from the lifting platform and the piano later." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Qiming waved his baton, and various orchestral instruments played in unison, and at this moment, beautiful music filled the entire studio.
At the very front of the stage, Liao Yuan and the S-277 piano also slowly ascended on the lifting platform.
When the lifting platform stabilized and the instrumental concerto had just come to an end, Liao Yuan immediately stepped on the pedal under his feet, and then, his hands were quickly raised, falling like meteors, and with an invincible momentum, he smashed into the keys.
A loud trill.
Immediately after, the hands began to crush from left to right like a pair of hot wheels, quickly crushing away on the keys, bursting out of a classic movement that flew down 3,000 feet!
Although he has claimed to have heard it many times, Minister Guo still can't help but tremble in his heart at the same time as the piano makes a loud noise.
There seems to be the wind roaring, the horses roaring, and the Yellow River roaring......
And the director Xiang Weihong, who listened to the live performance for the first time, and the director Hou Yujun were completely dumbfounded at this moment, and their hearts were extremely shocked.
They suddenly remembered the sentence that Minister Guo had just inadvertently mentioned:
There are two pianists in this world.
A pianist named Liao Yuan.
A pianist is called other.
