Chapter 242: China is promising
At this moment, I heard that the Kyoto Opera Troupe rehearsed in advance, and many Spring Festival Gala performers who stayed in the lounge came here and appeared in the audience one after another.
Although "Defending the Yellow River" has been included in the textbook, the new semester has not yet come and has not yet been published, so the popularity is not high.
People only know some of the melodies of "Defending the Yellow River" through the Internet, but because the quality of the recording equipment and playback equipment is uneven, most of the "Defending the Yellow River" in people's ears may have different feelings after listening.
Therefore, "Defending the Yellow River" did not become a hit like popular songs such as "Light Years Away".
But when the live performance of "Defending the Yellow River", when all kinds of music poured into the ears, the degree of shock was very imaginable, so that many people's hearts could not be calmed down for a long time.
"This is the concerto hand-picked by the chief......"
Xiang Weihong muttered, "It's completely different from what I heard in the videotape......
"If you put it in a professional concert hall, the effect of this piece will be even better. Guo Gan smiled and said: "At that time, the state banquet invited the heads of state of the entire Asian region, can you imagine that? After listening to this song, everyone seemed to fall into a daze, and they were silent for a while. ”
Director Hou Yujun said with a smile: "I know this, after the performance, the chief also commented personally, saying that "Defending the Yellow River" is the voice of the Chinese nation, I watched the news at that time, and I think the chief said it very well...... In fact, even if the chief didn't appoint it, I might urge Wei Hong to add this concerto to the Spring Festival Gala list, after all, the Spring Festival Gala is a program dedicated to all Chinese people, and it can't be without the voice of the Chinese nation, hehe. ”
The music in my ears continues.
The sound of the piano is like the surging water of the Yellow River, endless, making people's hearts fluctuate.
Such a majestic piece of music is a top-notch existence even in the ranks of the entire Chinese composer's history.
And in the audience, countless entertainers are also impassioned at the moment.
"This Liao Yuan is simply a national treasure-level pianist!"
"Those hands are absolute, sometimes gentle, sometimes fast, the high and low tides are constantly in gear, and they are endless, which makes people want to die......"
"Wasn't there news before, someone assessed the value of Liao Yuan's hands, and they all started with 100 million yuan!"
"At this moment my heart is extremely complicated, alas, how good it would be if these hands were only used to play the piano......"
“......”
“???”
"Teacher Huang, can we talk well?"
In the edge corner of the auditorium, Hou Kangsheng, dressed in a black leather jacket, was excitedly looking at the performance stage.
When "Defending the Yellow River" played to the second section of "Dongfang Hong", listening to the fierce piano sound suddenly gentle, Hou Kangsheng's excited eyes were moist, and he always felt that this minor key was familiar, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hands and follow the ups and downs of the music, and slowly play it in the air.
The east is red, the sun is rising......
That music, which seemed to come from outer space, echoed in Hou Kangsheng's mind, inexplicably making him admire.
In fact, because of his interest, he has been exposed to a variety of musical instruments since he was a child, and now at the age of nineteen, he is already a well-known electronic music producer in the industry, and his understanding of music is also outstanding among his peers.
However, due to the public's lack of awareness of electronic music and the lack of accumulation of electronic music culture in the local area, this has led to the slow development of original electronic music in China, unlike classical musical instruments such as piano and violin, which are deeply loved by the masses.
In terms of the social status of practitioners, electronic music is not as good as classical musical instruments, and even many electronic music producers in the industry have to admit this.
The reason why Hou Kangsheng suddenly became a fan of Liao Yuan is basically because many of Liao Yuan's works can perfectly integrate electronic music, such as "Fade", such as the "War Rhapsody" series, or "Flower Dance", "Out of the Western Regions", "My-soul" and so on.
Since the One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition was held, it has not only become a prosperous era in the piano industry, but also the hottest topic in the electronic music industry in recent years, all because of these works thrown out by Liao Yuan one after another, each of which has been frantically adapted by electronic music lovers.
For example, Hou Kangsheng's adaptation of "Fade" has become the number one classic adaptation in the electronic music industry, although it has no copyright and cannot make a profit, it still causes a sensation in the electronic music circle and is competing to spread.
And Hou Kangsheng also jumped from unknown to famous, but the name of the original creator Liao Yuan, because of this adapted version of "Fade", began to pour into the ears of all electronic music producers.
There are even some younger middle school students who worship Liao Yuan as the god of electronic music in the campus circle!
To be able to have this reputation, Hou Kangsheng is also absolutely indispensable.
It's just that although Hou Kangsheng has made some achievements in the electronic music circle, he is still regarded by his family as not doing his job.
After all, his father is the director of CCTV, and he is a big man who can turn the tide in the entire entertainment industry, so compared with his father Hou Yujun, Hou Kangsheng's achievements in the electronic music circle are simply not worth mentioning in the eyes of ordinary people.
But he loves electronic music after all......
Maslow, a famous psychologist, once put forward the theory of human hierarchy of needs, from low to high, which are "physiological needs", "safety needs", "emotional and belonging needs", as well as "respect needs" and "self-realization needs".
These five levels of needs are the famous "Maslow's hierarchy of needs" in psychology.
Because of their wealthy backgrounds, some people are born to automatically meet their physiological needs and safety needs, and when they grow up, because of the abundance of material conditions, they can easily look at the "emotional and belonging needs".
These three needs are only the basic needs of human beings, and above all, they are the higher "needs for respect and self-realization".
For example, some professional senior managers have an annual salary of millions or even tens of millions, which is already an easy material condition for such a super elite.
Therefore, no matter how much money there is, at such a level, it has probably become a number, and the temptation is significantly reduced, and the annual salary of three million and five million cannot easily shake the decision of a super elite.
Therefore, for many companies, if they want to recruit such super elites, normal salary incentives can no longer satisfy them, so the incentive of shares and rights was born.
This is also known as the need for higher needs – the need for respect and self-actualization.
These needs, like a ladder, go from low to high, and rise step by step.
However, this order is not completely fixed and can be changed, and there are various exceptions.
For example, Hou Kangsheng now, because of the rich material conditions of his family, after satisfying the three needs of the lowest level, he began to pursue higher psychological needs - the needs of respect and self-realization.
He wants to realize his ambition in the electronic music industry, and he wants to be respected by people through the new thing of electronic music.
So, how to achieve it has become the problem that Hou Kangsheng wants to solve the most.
When he gained the respect of the entire electrophonic world through his adaptation of Fade, he finally knew what to do.
So, after learning that Liao Yuan participated in this year's Spring Festival Gala, Hou Kangsheng ran to the CCTV building in three days, after all, he is the son of the director of CCTV, he can easily pass through the security control and shuttle freely through various studios without being noticed.
Finally, before approaching the Spring Festival Gala, he waited for Liao Yuan.
The gift he gave to Liao Yuan was a CD that burned various electronic music works, and these electronic music works were all adapted from Liao Yuan's works.
Hou Kangsheng eagerly hopes that his adaptation can enter Liao Yuan's eyes, and he is more eager to cooperate with Liao Yuan in various music.
It's just that Hou Kangsheng may not have expected that after receiving the gift, Liao Yuan did not open it for the first time.
In fact, even if it is disassembled, with Liao Yuan's insight and understanding, he may not necessarily appreciate Hou Kangsheng's adaptation.
Therefore, the CD is still lying quietly in the lounge, no one cares about it.
......
On stage, the performance at the Kyoto Opera House finally ended.
The audience erupted in warm applause, and everyone was full of praise for the rehearsal.
Liao Yuan got up, hugged Zhang Qiming, Pei Yuhong and others with a smile, and then gave a gentlemanly salute to everyone present.
"Not bad. ”
After appreciating "Defending the Yellow River", Minister Guo finally left satisfied, and moved forward with Director Hou Yujun to review other things.
At this moment, the director sent the two leaders away to Wei Hongmu, and then turned his head, made an OK gesture to the stage with a smile, signaled that the rehearsal had passed, and beckoned Liao Yuan and Zhang Qiming to the front to play back the recording just now to them.
After all, the director is not a professional musician, and although he is in charge of the overall situation, he still needs professionals to listen carefully to whether there are any mistakes in the performance process.
In fact, because they had rehearsed many times in advance, the musicians of the Kyoto Opera House were already confident in the performance of this "Defending the Yellow River".
Therefore, in the face of Xiang Weihong's inquiry, he nodded and approved of the rehearsal recording this time.
"Just now, Director Hou, the number one leader of CCTV, and Minister Guo of the Ministry of Culture, all expressed their satisfaction with your performance at the Kyoto Opera House, especially Liao Yuan, you really impressed me, and you will definitely make great achievements in the future. ”
Xiang Weihong said with a smile, looking in a very good mood.
Liao Yuan said modestly: "It's the colleagues who cooperate well. ”
When Zhang Qiming heard this, he patted Liao Yuan's shoulder, and said heartily: "Don't be humble, you ask the people in the group, without you, is this song "Defending the Yellow River" or "Defending the Yellow River"?"
"President Chang is right. ”
Xiang Weihong smiled: "Too much self-humility is a little cowardly, is it so difficult for you to admit your excellence?"
After speaking, he remembered something, and said with concern: "Liao Yuan, I heard other people say that you also have a hand in performing and singing?"
Before Liao Yuan could say anything, Zhang Qiming said loudly: "Guide, you just heard about it? Do you know "Light Years Away"? This song, at the New Year's Eve concert of Xiangnan Satellite TV, was sung by Liao Yuan, and it was directly hung on the Weibo hot search list for several days, even now, the popularity of this song in China is well-deserved first, if you want me to say, you might as well arrange for Liao Yuan to show his voice on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to ensure that the ratings soar!"
Xiang Weihong's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "I just heard today, although the time is very tight, but it is not impossible to let Liao Yuanliang raise his voice, the host coordinates and squeezes out a few minutes, it's still very easy!"
Liao Yuan was stunned, the Spring Festival Gala is such a grand party, can the program list be temporarily added?
"The guide is wise!"
Zhang Qiming was suddenly excited, he pushed Liao Yuan's shoulder, and said with a wink: "Teacher Liao, how can you thank the guide?
Xiang Weihong smiled and looked at Liao Yuan: "You don't have to treat yourself, I'm different from other directors, I will arrange what the audience likes to watch, everything is providential." ”
Liao Yuan also smiled.
The Spring Festival Gala stage is facing hundreds of millions of Chinese around the world, it is the world's highest rated program, every second is incomparably precious, Xiang Wei Hongneng said this, and his admiration for Liao Yuan is already obvious.
Of course, Liao Yuan will not shirk: "It can be, but it happened suddenly, and I didn't prepare in advance." ”
"Just sing "Light Years Away"!"
Zhang Qiming smiled and applauded: "This song is your famous work in the music industry, and now the discussion is so hot, the audience will definitely like it, guide, this is "Light Years Away", listen to it, I guarantee you like it!"
After finishing speaking, he took out his mobile phone, tuned out "Light Years Away" in the music player, and put it to Xiang Weihong for audition.
Xiang Weihong listened for a while, and suddenly said, "Let's change it!"
Liao Yuan and Zhang Qiming were both stunned.
Xiang Weihong explained: "This year's theme is China's promising, so it is more important to sing the voice of the Chinese nation, for example, "Defending the Yellow River" is very exciting, although this "Light Years Away" is good, but it does not match the theme of the program group, if possible, try to tell some stories about China and China in the song, what do you think?"
Zhang Qiming was stunned and turned his head to look at Liao Yuan.
When Liao Yuan heard this, he smiled: "This is easy! I'll sing two songs, and the guide will choose them?"
"Hey, I like your neatness!"
Xiang Weihong didn't say much, and directly took out the walkie-talkie and ordered.
The program unit that was originally ready to go on stage was immediately temporarily withdrawn, and Liao Yuan appeared on the stage again.
This scene stunned everyone except the parties.
People stopped what they were doing and looked at the stage.
The two CCTV hosts on the stage received the director's message and retreated to the corner, just looking at Liao Yuan's gaze, full of emotion.
It's not the same when you have a backstage......
A moment later, the stage elevator was activated, and the piano, which had just sunk, rose again.
The staff immediately stepped forward to install the microphone and audition.
Soon, everything was ready.
The lens of the swingarm camera was quickly aimed at the target, and in order to meet the scene, Xiang Weihong also started the stage art, but in an instant, the surrounding lights were annihilated, and a beam of light sprinkled on Liao Yuan's body, full of brilliance.
In front of the piano, Liao Yuan was sitting in danger.
He brewed his emotions a little, and after a few seconds, he slowly began to play in front of everyone.
