Saturday, June 6.

Tonight, the Shencheng Spring "Valentine's Works Special Concert" will officially start at the Shencheng Concert Hall.

The audience can enter the venue after 6 diǎn 30 p.m., and before 6 diǎn 3 o'clock, the concert hall with a capacity of 1,122 people is full. Upstairs and downstairs, the audience was neatly dressed, sitting quietly in their seats, waiting for the performance to begin, few people talking to each other, let alone making loud noises, and there was only a gentle hum in the whole concert hall.

Yin Lihua wore a blue pleated skirt and sat in the eighth row near the middle seat. Beside her, Cui Zhengguang rarely saw a suit and tie, but at this moment, the tie around his neck had already been loosened by him.

"Big head, can you understand classical music? I can't understand a single diǎn. Yin Lihua asked in a low voice.

"I," as soon as he said the word "I," the audience sitting next to Cui Zhengguang shushed at him and motioned for him to whisper. Cui Zhengguang shrunk his neck, raised his hand embarrassedly, and then leaned over to Yin Lihua's side and said in an extremely low voice: "Where can I understand any classical music, it was Xiao Yezi who forced me to come, if I don't come, I can't do it, my brothers can't do it, then I can only come." ”

Yin Lihua laughed silently.

"When you come to a concert, you must wear a suit and tie, and you can't speak loudly, it's annoying! Sister-in-law, please tell Sù Xiaoyezi, next time don't let me come to any concert, I will be made into a nervous breakdown by him. Cui Zhengguang kept twisting his neck from side to side, muttering quietly.

This time, Yin Lihua finally laughed softly.

In the lounge outside the venue.

Sun Yun raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and the time was already close to six and fifty minutes.

"Javier, it's almost time, let's go in too."

"Okay, let's go in." Valentine snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, straightened his already neat bow tie, pulled the hem of the small black dress, patted the dust that did not contain zài a little, and several people walked towards the concert hall together.

Passing through a gate, the magnificent Shencheng Concert Hall and the Grand Performance Hall are presented in Valentine's field of vision.

This is a rectangular, ∴dǐng∴diǎn∴ small ∴ says, .≡.o↖s_(); The auditorium is divided into two levels, and the high dome is hung with magnificent European-style lamps. At this moment, the performance has not yet begun, and the hall is brightly lit.

"Javier, the concert hall in front of you was built in 1930 and is the first formal concert hall in mainland China, where countless world-class musicians have performed." Sun Yun followed Valentine's side, and whispered to him as he walked, introducing him to the famous music temple in the Chinese continent in front of him.

"In the early days, it was a theater dedicated to showing movies, and it was also equipped with a small orchestra pit for silent film accompaniment, and later, the Symphony Orchestra of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, the predecessor of the application, regularly held their summer concerts here, and it gradually became a special concert hall."

"Javier, don't underestimate this concert hall, it has the best natural reverberation of about 1.5 seconds, and the shape of this performance hall is just the best acoustic, so it is very easy to have excellent music, and the sound quality is excellent. You know I've traveled almost all over the world over the years, but with the exception of the Nth Concert Hall, the Asra Concert Hall, and the Boson Concert Hall, I dare say that no concert hall can surpass this concert hall in terms of sound quality. ”

"Really?" Valentine stopped and asked in surprise. He came to Shencheng twice in half a year, and tonight was the first time he walked here, and he didn't know anything about it.

Sun Yun shrugged: "You'll know when you listen to it in a while." ”

"Then you have to listen to it." With that, Valentine continued on his way.

Sun Yun smiled and continued to move forward after him, knowing that Valentine's heart did not particularly believe in the introduction just now. Perhaps in Valentine's heart, he may not admit that the Huaxia Continent can have such an excellent concert hall, but Sun Yun clearly knows that after a concert performance, Valentine will immediately change his opinion, just like those famous international music celebrities who have visited this concert hall before. These celebrities include Mr. Rapa, who is recognized as the greatest flute virtuoso of the 20th century, Mr. O-Oa, a famous cellist of Chinese descent and so on. After tonight's famous composer Valentine, the list will continue to expand.

The name of Asia's No. 1 Concert Hall is definitely not for nothing!

Behind the crimson curtain, the 96 performers who participated in the performance were already seated quietly according to their performance positions, and under the leadership of the orchestra's principal Pan Zhe, they had proofread the pitch and made preparations before the performance.

Ye Zi has also calibrated the tune of the guitar with the band, and his person has now left the position of playing, and the guitar is in his hand. In tonight's concert, he performed the Mallorca Concerto in Major – for Classical Guitar and Orchestra – Op. 117, the second program of the first half, and before he would perform another piece by Valentine. After the intermission, a symphony composed by Valentine was used as the program for the second half. The whole show, including a 15-minute intermission and a possible encore, will last more than an hour and a half.

There is still a diǎn time, and Ye Zi can go back to the lounge to rest a little. But looking at where Ye Zi was standing, it was obvious that he was going to watch Shen Jiao's performance on the side curtain, and he didn't plan to go back to the lounge.

A hand suddenly put on Ye Zi's shoulder.

"How about Xiaoyezi, are you nervous?"

Chen Xieyang, who was wearing a well-tailored black tuxedo, black trousers, white shirt, black belt, and white bow tie, appeared in front of Ye Zi.

Ye Zi has a slightly stiff diǎn diǎn diǎn head: "There is a diǎn." ”

Ye Zi lied.

In fact, it wasn't just a diǎn, in fact, when he came to the concert hall in the afternoon for the last live rehearsal, Ye Zi began to get nervous, and now that the performance is about to start, Ye Zi is already very, very nervous, never nervous. In his previous life and present life, Ye Zi appeared on the stage as a performer for the first time. In half an hour, Ye Zi is about to usher in his first debut as a classical guitarist.

He, how could he not be nervous!

His palms were now covered with fine sweat, his heart was pounding in his cavity, and even his breathing seemed to be out of control. If it weren't for Ye Zi's slow practice to relax himself, he would probably be so nervous that he couldn't speak now.

Chen Xieyang gently patted Ye Zi's shoulder, and pressed him hard twice on his shoulder.

"Xiao Yezi, being nervous isn't scary, that's because you care about this show, it's a good thing."

"Every professional performer must have this experience in order to become a performer who truly stands on the music scene, and the same is true for us conductors, and the same is true for those singers."

"When you go on stage, you don't have to think about anything, you just do what we usually rehearse. I'm not old and faint, and I know you can do it. ”

"Little leaf, come on!"

After speaking, Chen Xieyang patted Ye Zi's shoulder again, didn't continue to say anything, and came to the stage to prepare for the stage. He has already done what he should do and can do, and the rest can only rely on Ye Zi himself.

Everyone's path is under his own feet.

Jingle bell bell ~~~

At 7 diǎn in the evening, a crisp and melodious bell rang softly in the large performance hall, which signaled that tonight's performance was about to begin. The crimson curtain slowly rose in the crisp sound of the bell, and a thick baritone voice spoke in a deep voice from the sound system in the large performance hall.

"Shencheng Spring's "Valentine's Works Special Concert" is now - start!"

"I invite the famous conductor Mr. Chen Xieyang to appear!"

The audience applauded.

Amid the applause, all the members of the orchestra stood up and greeted the conductor on stage with the applause of the audience. Chen Xieyang walked out of the side curtain quickly, came to the center of the stage, and bowed slightly to the audience.

The applause was even louder.

Chen Xieyang smiled slightly, nodded his head to the audience again, then turned around, shook hands with the orchestra's principal Pan Zhe, and then stepped onto the conductor's stage.

The auditorium fell silent.

The baritone said again: "The first program, "SPAN Overture in a sharp minor - Op. 39", composer - Javier. Valentine, Country. Performance - Huaxia Shencheng Symphony Orchestra, conductor - Chen Xieyang, Huaxia. ”

Warm applause rang out again.

In the audience, Valentine frowned slightly.

"Relax, Javier, this is a special case in Huaxia, you will get used to it." Gently patting Valentine's arm, Sun Yun whispered a few words in his ear.

Valentine diǎn diǎn diǎn head and looked at the stage in front of him.

According to the custom of Western classical concerts, there is no curtain before these performances performed by baritone. As soon as the curtain opens (or there is no curtain at all), the audience applauds and encourages the conductor to take the stage, and the performance begins immediately. The repertoire, composers, orchestras, conductors, and soloists of the whole concert are printed on the program list, from which the audience can understand, and there is no announcer to introduce them to you one by one.

If there is a need to introduce a particular performer during a performance, the conductor will be responsible for the introduction. For example, when it is Ye Zi's turn to perform on the stage, in the West, he will either appear directly, or he will be introduced by the conductor.

These are the habits of Western classical concerts, and they are also habits that Valentine has long been accustomed to, and as soon as he hears the baritone live announcement, he will of course have the feeling that he is not used to it. However, as Sun Yun just said, this is a characteristic of classical concerts in mainland China, and it is not necessarily a bad habit.

Such different performance habits are originally a matter of opinion, and there is no absolute right and wrong.

Who says it has to be a bad thing to introduce before a show? (To be continued.) )
