Chapter 679: Surprise and Shock

Sun Tingting's invitation to Xiao Yao to be a guest performer was also a temporary decision, and Xiao Yao, a guest performer, was not used as the publicity content of the concert in the early publicity of the concert, and not many of the audience who bought tickets to listen to the concert came for Xiao Yao. In other words, there are not many die-hard fans of Xiao Yao in the audience of this concert. However, even if there are not many die-hard fans in the audience who come specifically to Xiao Yao, there are still many passers-by who have a good impression of Xiao Yao.

Due to media reports in the past few days, many people already know that Xiao Yao will be a guest performer at Sun Tingting's recital. This news is also an unexpected surprise for those audiences who bought tickets for Sun Tingting's concert in advance. Because there are not many "pills" and iron fans in the audience who buy tickets for Xiao Yao, the degree of this surprise is limited, and because of knowing the news in advance, this guest is not "mysterious", and the small sense of surprise has been felt before the concert starts.

In the early publicity of this concert, the protagonist of the concert, Sun Tingting, was introduced as a classical violin performance professional, and the audience who was interested in coming to the concert hall to listen to this kind of music concert was different from the audience of music festivals or variety shows, and their performance was relatively calmer and quieter, plus the sense of surprise for Xiao Yao's appearance was not so strong, so when Sun Tingting introduced the guest performer as Xiao Yao, and the next few songs will be performed with the guest Xiao Yao, the audience just politely sent a burst of applause, without that kind of cheering and screaming and other more intense performances。

However, when Xiao Yao appeared on the stage under Sun Tingting's introduction, many audience members couldn't help but exclaim.

This is a classical recital in a professional concert hall, and both Sun Tingting in the front and the musicians in the back are dressed very formally. The ladies wore evening dresses, the men wore formal dresses, and even the drummers, guitarists, and bassists who appeared a little earlier in the modern instrumentalists wore casual suits to match the solemn and elegant atmosphere of the concert hall.

But Xiao Yao, who appeared as a guest performer, dressed very differently. The lower body is black trousers with black high-top leather boots, and the upper body is a black shirt. Xiao Yao's shirt is decorated with a row of small silver metal dots on both shoulders, and the shirt is sleeveless, and Xiao Yao's two arms with obvious muscular lines are all exposed. In addition, Xiao Yao also rarely wore a pair of black leather wristbands on his wrists. Although there are no metal ornaments on the leather wristbands, such a dress gives people enough "rock and roll" feeling.

Such a "rock" dress appeared on the performance stage of a classical concert, which not only attracted the attention of the eye, but also fully demonstrated Xiao Yao's maverick personality.

"Oh," Zhou Lixing in the audience whispered in surprise, "Bayi was still in a suit and leather shoes when he was here just now, why did he become like this after a while?"

When he was in the audience just now, Xiao Yao, like most of the audience, was wearing formal clothes to listen to Sun Tingting's classical music. The set of clothes on her body now is the performance costume that Sun Tingting changed into when she went back to the lounge when she performed the ninth song.

"I'll go!" Zhou Zhihao next to him also said, "Bayi dressed like this and went on stage to perform classical music with Duo'er?

"What do you think?" Lin Qisan said with a smile, "How could Bayi mess around at Duo'er's recital? Duo'er is learning classical performance, but Bayi is not! He didn't go up to play classical music!"

"How do you know if you're not performing classical music?" asked Zhou Zhihao curiously.

"I haven't been watching stone rehearsals all the time these days, and I've also come to see them rehearsal!" Lin Qisan said, "I not only know the performance repertoire of Bayi, but also know that the performance costume of Bayi has also been agreed by Uncle Lu Siyuan and Duo'er!

"Tricks?" Zhou Zhihao guessed, "Duo'er and Bayi are going to perform those two pieces that are not classical music at Chambers' graduation recital?"

Zhou Zhihao is still a little interested in pop music, but he is not very interested in classical music. He went to the concert twice because the performer was Sun Tingting, and he came to support her, but he was not interested in watching their rehearsals.

"You'll know when you hear it!" Lin Qisan said with a smile.

"Cut~" Zhou Zhihao glanced at Lin Qisan.

When Zhou Zhihao and Lin Qisan were discussing, Xiao Yao bowed to the audience, walked to a grand piano on the side of the stage and sat down, and gently put his hands on the keys.

Seeing that Xiao Yao was ready, Sun Tingting took a step back, away from the microphone stand, and put the violin on her shoulder again.

Sun Tingting, as the protagonist of this concert, will introduce the musicians on the stage to show her gratitude and respect, but she does not undertake the work of announcing the curtain.

"Next piece, Croatian Rhapsody!" resounded over the live speakers introducing the names of the pieces performed.

Xiao Yao turned his head and nodded in the direction of the orchestra, and the string players in the orchestra nodded in response, signaling that they were ready. Xiao Yao finally looked back at Sun Tingting, and happened to see Sun Tingting, who had put the bow on the strings, and also looked at her, obviously prepared.

Xiao Yao smiled slightly, lowered his head and pressed the keys of the piano.

The sound of the piano was joined by the sounds of the violin, cello and electric guitar, and a few seconds later, a cymbal on the drum kit was clicked, and the drum kit was joined in.

Although it is a mix of classical and modern instruments, the combination of several instruments is surprisingly good, and there is no sense of dissonance at all. This piece has a strong sense of rhythm and a gripping melody. After listening to more than a dozen classic classical symphonies and violin concertos, such a piece immediately made the audience feel bright.

Xiao Yao's "Croatian Rhapsody" is one of the masterpieces of the famous Croatian pianist Maxim in his previous life. This maverick electronic piano playing genius is a pianist that Xiao Yao liked very much in his previous life, but compared to his most famous "Wild Bee Dance", Xiao Yao prefers his other two masterpieces, "Exodus" and "Croatian Rhapsody".

At this Sun Tingting recital, Xiao Yao took out one of the two favorite songs in his previous life. One of the reasons for choosing this piece is that it is not too difficult in itself, and it is suitable for only two days of rehearsal. The other is the association of the ruinous earth at the beginning of the recent animated movie "Wall-E the Robot".

The birth of this piece in the previous life has a certain background, and this background is also in this world. However, not everyone can be like Lu Siyuan, with a name, listening to this piece can associate the background of the creation of this piece.

Music without lyrics is a very subjective thing, and different people may have different associations when listening to it. When listening to a song "Liang Zhu" by Huaxia, Romeo and Juliet may come to mind, but the basic feelings and emotions are similar. So even though the audience didn't know the background of the song, it still gave the audience a great shock.

The melody of this piece is extremely beautiful, and this feeling is basically universal.

In addition, the arrangement of this piece, which is mainly based on piano and strings, and should be biased towards the classics, adds modern instruments such as drums and electric guitars, which greatly enhances the sense of rhythm and power of the piece, which is also a great feature.

This kind of arrangement form combining classical instruments and popular instruments is not the first in the world, but it is still very rare in the Chinese music circle, including the classical music circle.

"I'll go, this piece was created by Bayi himself, right?" Zhou Zhihao turned his head and asked Lin Qisan beside him. Even he, who is not very interested in classical music, was shocked by this song and fell in love with such pure music.

"Who else can there be besides him?" Lin Qisan didn't sell Guan Zi this time, and nodded with a smile.

In Xiao Yao's previous musical works, not only his musical style is very diverse, but there are also many works that combine pop and classical instruments. Although most of the previous music works were mainly pop instruments, and most of the songs were supplemented by strings such as violin, Xiao Yao did play like this, and he was a musician who played relatively much in Huaxia. Therefore, after hearing a piece of music arranged in this way, many viewers were like Zhou Zhihao, and they immediately guessed that this piece was Xiao Yao's handwriting.

A classical music concert brought such a soundtrack to everyone, but it was indeed a very nice piece, Xiao Yao's performance definitely gave the audience a big surprise.

However, Xiao Yao's surprise to the audience is far more than that.

After the performance of this piece, the audience gave a round of applause. After the applause fell, the sound of the narration sounded again in the sound of the scene: "Next performance track, "Faded"!"

"Is it Bayi's work again?" Zhou Zhihao said to Lin Qisan beside him, "Is Bayi here to help, or is it to steal the show?"

"It seems that it is indeed stealing the show. Lin Qisan said with a smile, "But although this piece is a work by Bayi, the version played this time is not the original version of Bayi, but the version that Duoer used at the Chambers graduation recital." That version wasn't made by Xiao Yao, it was adapted by Duo'er herself!"

Compared to the first appearance of "Croatian Rhapsody", "Faded" is a well-known song. Even if there are not many fans of Xiao Yao in the audience, most people know that this is an electronic style song by Xiao Yao and Gong Chen, and some viewers know that there is also a string version of this song. After hearing this name, most people subconsciously thought that the next piece was a piece similar to the string version of Xiao Yao's song.

However, what the audience didn't expect was that the version played this time was quite different from the soundtrack of Xiao Yao's song string version. The melody is still the same melody, and there are also piano, violin, and cello instruments, but this version of the performance actually adds a lot of wind instruments. This version, which includes wind instruments, not only makes the whole piece more majestic in momentum, but also gives people a completely different feeling.

Although the arrangement of this version was made by Sun Tingting herself, because this song is Xiao Yao's work, he has made two different versions of the soundtrack accompaniment before, and now he is a guest performer on stage, playing the piano, and many audiences also regard this version of the arrangement as Xiao Yao's handwriting.

The electronic music version, the string version, and the current version that can be called the symphonic version, a single song can make three versions that give people a very different feeling, and the feeling of this symphonic version is relatively close to traditional classical music, which seems to mean that Xiao Yao, who has originally created a lot of excellent NeAge music, is also not shallow in symphony and classical music, and the audience was once again deeply shocked by Xiao Yao's musical talent.

At the end of the performance, the audience once again gave a round of warm applause. In the applause of the audience, Xiao Yao stood up from the piano bench and walked to the piano, and the two staff lifted a stage to the stage and placed it in front of Xiao Yao.

"Is that a mixing console? Xiao Yao is going to be a live DJ at the concert?" Seeing Xiao Yao pick up a pair of headphones and buckle them on his head, many audience members guessed in surprise.

"Next track, SecretEmotions!" In the astonishment of the audience, the narrator of the scene announced the name of the next performance track.

After the audience quieted down, Xiao Yao started operating on the mixing table.

"I'm going, is it really electronic music?" Seeing Xiao Yao's movements, the audience at the scene was even more surprised, "It's just a matter of adding modern musical instruments, even the electronic music has been moved out, is this still a classical concert?"

But the audience was surprised and surprised, and the performance still had to be heard.

In the beginning part of this piece, the sudden sound of the eagle chirped shocked the audience, and also made everyone look forward to the third song of Xiao Yao as a guest performer.

To the surprise of the audience again, the first half minute of the song seemed to be all played with pre-recorded sounds. Except for Xiao Yao, who didn't seem to be operating on the mixing table in front of him, the other musicians on the stage didn't make any moves. Even after half a minute, the sound of drums was added to the music, and the string musicians on the stage, including Sun Tingting, did not move.

"Is this still Sun Tingting's violin classical music concert?" This question once again arose in the hearts of many audience members.

It wasn't until about a minute later that Sun Tingting put the bow on the violin on her shoulder and began to play.

As soon as Sun Tingting joined the performance, her violin voice immediately stood out.

In the first two pieces, although Sun Tingting is also playing the violin in front, most of the time it is almost synchronized with the performance of several other violinists behind her. Because the violin parts of the first two pieces are in conjunction with the piano, there is no difference between them. In this piece, Sun Tingting's violin is a special existence, and the violin part she is responsible for is obviously different from other violinists. Whether it is the electronic music operated by Xiao Yao or the other violinists in the back, they are obviously serving Sun Tingting's violin part.

In this piece, Sun Tingting's violin is not played for a long time, probably more than half of the whole piece. But with the sounds of electronic music and drums and other violins, the violin she played in this piece was the most brilliant and impressed by the audience.
