…… At the repeated requests of the audience, Ye Zi returned to perform three more pieces for half an hour. If it weren't for the repeated persuasion of the organizers, the audience's collective shouting of 'encore' would still continue, which can be seen from Ye Zi's popularity. It is particularly worth mentioning that the three pieces that Ye Zi performed back are all selected from the classical guitar concerto composed by Mr. Valentine, and none of them are classic works that the audience is familiar with, which makes people feel very strange. Is Ye Zi not able to know these classic works? Obviously unlikely, so why? To this end, the reporter interviewed Mr. Valentine at a press conference after the performance.

Mr. Valentine highly praised Ye Zi's wonderful performance and expressed his special gratitude to Ye Zi for his respect in the selection of the repertoire for the encore. Afterwards, the reporter learned from professionals that according to the performance etiquette of classical concerts, the encore repertoire of a special concert can only be selected from all the works of the composer. It can be seen that Ye Zi does not know how to play those classic works, and his choice of these three works in the encore performance is exactly what he means to pay tribute to Mr. Valentine in accordance with the performance etiquette of the concert.

The depth of classical music can be glimpsed a little bit from these performance etiquette......

This was part of a series of stories from Sima Minghui that filled the entertainment pages of all newspapers from the day after the performance.

The title of "Shencheng Daily" is "Young Performers Who Add Color to the Spring of Shencheng", and the article said: At the "Spring of Shencheng - Valentine's Special Concert" held last night, Ye Zi, a 19-year-old young classical guitarist in Shencheng, played the "Mallorca Concerto" composed by Valentine, which won unanimous praise from the audience.

The Mallorca Concerto for Classical Guitar and Symphony Orchestra No. 117 is one of the masterpieces of the famous contemporary composer Javier Valentine, composed in 1980 and has been working for 12 years. In the past ten years, many world-renowned classical guitarists have played this famous modern classical guitar concerto known for its technical difficulty and complexity, among which John Williams, the guitar prince known and loved by the Chinese people, is the premiere of this work. On the stage of the Shencheng Concert Hall last night, the young classical guitarist Ye Zi said in the famous conductor [dǐng] diǎn] small], .2≧3.o←s_(); Under the concerto of the Shencheng Symphony Orchestra led by Chen Xieyang, it impressed the 1,122 audience with its skillful performance skills and excellent musical performance. At that time, the audience gave Ye Zi a standing ovation for five minutes, and then, at the strong request of the audience, Ye Zi broke the routine and performed directly before the intermission.

According to our interview with composer Mr. Valentine, Mr. Valentine was very satisfied with Ye Zi's interpretation of this piece, and he said that Bruce Ye used extremely superb playing skills to perfectly reproduce the third movement in his mind, which is one of the best performances he has ever heard.

In an interview with us, the famous Chinese conductor Chen Xieyang also said that Ye Zi's performance level has reached a very high level and is fully capable of gaining a foothold in the international music scene.

We are pleased to see that this is the outstanding young classical guitarist who has once again emerged in the Chinese classical music scene after Yingbiao, a Chinese classical guitarist who has won the international music scene, and we are deeply proud of this.

"Shencheng Evening News" and "Shencheng Daily" have always focused on diǎn, and this time for Ye Zi's performance, "Shencheng Evening News" also found a completely different emphasis on diǎn.

"Self-taught Young Performer" - this is the headline of the report in the Shencheng Evening News. The article said: Last night, Ye Zi, a young classical guitarist in Shencheng, successfully performed the famous composer Javier Valentine's "Mallorca Concerto" in the Shencheng Concert Hall, and thousands of audiences were fascinated and applauded.

After the performance, the reporter interviewed Ye Zi.

What is particularly surprising is that this young genius who has mastered the superb classical guitar playing skills and has been praised as "rare in the world" by the composer Mr. Valentine has not taken a day of formal music lessons, and was completely self-taught before last year.

This diǎn in particular attracted the attention of journalists.

According to Mr. Sun Yun, Ye Zi's current teacher, former music director of the Shencheng Symphony Orchestra, and a famous pianist and conductor in Xiangjiang, Ye Zi has been following since childhood

The reporter couldn't help but ask, why didn't anyone in the field of classical guitar discover a young musician like Ye Zi, who was so good that he could attract Mr. Valentine's attention, before Mr. Sun Yun and Mr. Ni Jun discovered it? As a result, the reporter can't help but think, should our material selection method be adjusted and improved accordingly with the development of the times? If it weren't for Mr. Ni Jun's chance discovery of Ye Zi's ability on the stage of the school celebration, perhaps our Shencheng music scene would have lost a talented performer who could dominate the international music scene and win great fame. In time, it may be another master of Segovia.

If this is the case, it will definitely be a heavy loss for our Shencheng music scene and our Chinese music scene.

There have been too many such lessons before!

……

As the main and only TV media in Shencheng, Shencheng TV is of course impossible to miss such a lively, and the next day's "Evening News" reported the performance in detail. At least two minutes of Ye Zi's content were included in the more than five minutes of TV coverage, which is almost the same as Valentine's. Among them, the footage of Ye Zi's performance lasted for more than a minute, and the rest was the reporter's interview footage. Subsequently, in the "Shencheng Spring Nightly Special Report" broadcast in the evening, last night's performance was taken out again, and Ye Zi's shots were even more.

Everyone thought that such a day's concentrated reporting was enough, but no one expected that from the next day, the reports about Ye Zi and this performance would become more and more intense, and Shencheng media was once again swept by the name Ye Zi after the finals of the "Shencheng University Top Ten Singers Selection" in early May.

The reason is simple.

In its report on "Valentine's Special Concert", the world-famous news agency Xinshe deliberately spent time specifically mentioning the name "Bruce Yeh", rather than mentioning it as a normal report.

A reporter from the news agency said: Although Bruce Ye is still a 19-year-old boy, all the audience members who watched the performance have forgotten his age. Valentine said that this is an out-and-out genius performer, and the reporter is very impressed with this.

According to Valentine, the organizing committee of the 200th anniversary celebration of the PARS National Conservatory of Music next spring has confirmed that the talented Chinese musician will visit WÈN, and we will have the opportunity to enjoy his wonderful classical guitar performance in the concert hall of PARS again.

Let's look forward to it together!

The Xinshe reporter in Shencheng was an old friend of Valentine, and at Valentine's request, he helped Ye Zi do some advance propaganda in the newspaper. This was originally a small matter, but many international media outlets that reprinted the news agency reported quoted the reporter's report.

Thereupon...... Ye Zi became famous.

Even if it is only a small fame within a few days, it will disappear with the passage of time, but such "fame" immediately caused a sensation in China, especially in Shencheng.

The fastest action is Shencheng TV.

As soon as they received the news, the leaders of the TV station immediately adjusted the program schedule for the day, and broadcast the video of the performance, which was not known when it would be broadcast, that night. Because only one day later, the newspaper was promoting the performance again, so the live video of the concert attracted many music lovers to watch, and the ratings actually reached more than 40 diǎn that are rare in classical music. Although it can't be compared with those large-scale evening variety shows, in the field of classical music, this is already the best result in the history of Shencheng TV.

Of course, the newspaper was not to be outdone, and all the print media worked hard to carry out a series of bombardment reports on Ye Zi and this performance from the next day.

"Shencheng Daily" once again reported on Ye Zihe and this performance with the title of "Young Performers Rise to Fame", and this time, the tone of the newspaper has completely changed.

…… According to a report by a reporter from the Xinhua News Agency, Ye Zi, a young classical guitarist, accepted the invitation of the Chinese side on behalf of China and will visit China with the Shencheng Symphony Orchestra next spring. The news was confirmed before press time. This is a rare honor! This is enough to show that the new force of our Chinese classical music scene has attracted enough attention from the international music scene, and is about to make its own voice in the international music circle.

We look forward to this day!

As soon as the article in "Shencheng Daily" came out, a simple invitation performance immediately became a representative of China, and the specifications and levels were completely different.

Of course, the Shencheng Evening News would not be so old-fashioned, but they were equally quick to respond to the article by the Xinshe reporter.

…… Ye Zi, a young performer from Shencheng, was invited to perform next year, what is the reason? The reporter went to the new Jinjiang Hotel to interview the composer Mr. Valentine again.

Mr. Valentine personally confirmed that the reported show had been contracted and formalized. Mr. Valentine also revealed in the interview that he had personally invited Ye Zi to study classical guitar performance at the National Conservatory of Music in Paris, and for this reason, Mr. Valentine even said that he was willing to provide a personal guarantee for Ye Zi to go to the academy.

When asked by the reporter why, Mr. Valentine sternly said that Ye Zi has the potential to become a world-class performer, and he hopes to do his best to help Ye Zi succeed.

There has always been a question in the Chinese music scene, when will we be able to produce a great performer who can really gain a firm foothold in the world music scene and truly enjoy a world reputation?

Perhaps in the near future, a real answer to this question will be found in Ye Zi, a nineteen-year-old young man.

……

In the midst of the noise of the media, Ye Zi's name was once again firmly remembered by all the people in Shencheng. But at this time, he had already moved away from the hustle and bustle and came to Xiangjiang again.

The day of the album's release is getting closer and closer. (To be continued.) )
