Chapter 436: A Clash Between Geniuses!
"Okay, thank you two for the wonderful singing you brought us, and then let's enjoy the sketch ......" With a wave of applause, Zhou Tao walked to the front of the stage and sent the two singers off the stage. At the same time, she also has a lot of emotions in her heart. The appeal of "Love is Me" just now is too strong. Even though she had heard this song many times during rehearsals, she still had a shocking feeling when she heard it at the scene.
"What will be the reaction of the audience who hear it for the first time?" Zhou Tao looked at the applause of the audience and already guessed it.
"Phoenix Legend, this is another Daolang, I heard that they are all artists from a company called Legend Entertainment, this company is really amazing." Zhou Tao, who walked off the stage after reporting the show, thought with some curiosity in his heart.
"Let's go, go get ready, it's almost time for our brothers." Liu Yufan looked at the sketch on the stage and said with a smile.
"Well, happy cooperation!" Lang Lang said with a smile, and then stretched out his hand to Liu Yufan.
"Happy working together!" Liu Yufan said with a smile, and then clasped Lang Lang's hand tightly.
These two brightest stars in the piano industry are finally going to have a wonderful collision on the biggest Chinese stage!
On the radio, the actors have already begun to be reminded to wait, and there are two more programs after this sketch, that is, the piano ensemble of the two of them "Defending the Yellow River".
When the two of them walked out of the lounge, they happened to meet Daolang and Yunduo who came over from the opposite side, and the two of them were also excited, chatted with Liu Yufan for a few words, and knew that he would be on the show in a while, so they all went to the actor's seat to wait.
"Yufan, it's my first time to go to the Spring Festival Gala, what about you?" Standing in the actor-only passage, Lang Lang was bored waiting. chatted with Liu Yufan.
"Huh. It's the same as Ling, but Ling is a person who has been on the stage of international competitions, the scene of the Spring Festival Gala. There shouldn't be any problem. Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"It's hard to say, it feels different, I think you're calmer than me. is worthy of being the chairman, and the momentum is different. Lang Lang quipped.
"Hehe, don't laugh at me. By the way, what are your plans after graduation? Liu Yufan asked with interest.
"I don't have a clear plan yet, there are a few orchestras in the United States, and I have a preliminary intention, but I will see it when I have time." Lang Lang said with a smile.
"Have you considered returning to China to develop?" Liu Yufan continued to ask.
"This guy, you can't be thinking about me." Lang Lang listened to Liu Yufan's two questions, and immediately thought of something.
"Hey, hey. Let Ling say yes, seriously, the domestic market definitely has prospects. I'm going to come back. Why don't you think about our company? Liu Yufan said casually with a smile.
"Well, let's talk about it then. Seriously, now the domestic market is in the area of serious music, there is really no market, let's wait until it matures. Lang Lang said honestly.
"That's right, there is really no market for pianos in China now, but the market can also be made by people, look at Richard, aren't people promoting pop pianos to the world now?" Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Hehe, this guy, you don't want to play these things like him. After studying hard in the academy for so many years, I am not afraid to make Mr. Ling angry when I go back to play these toys. Lang Lang said angrily and funny.
Richard. Clayderman is definitely a master performer in the eyes of many ordinary piano lovers, and many of his compositions are widely circulated, such as "Dedicated to Alice", "Dream Wedding", "Adrina by the Water", "Autumn Whispers" and so on, but this is only limited to the perspective of the general public. From a professional point of view, these pieces are too simple, not to mention pianist-level performers like Lang Lang and Liu Yufan, even those amateur performers who have passed the sixth or seventh level, can easily play these pieces. Let them, the pianists who have studied hard for more than ten years, go back to play these things, not to mention that their mentors will be angry and crooked, even they themselves can't pass their own level, if it's just to play this, why bother with those useless hard work? …,
"Hehe, it's not necessarily just playing these things. In fact, the classics are good, but from the perspective of promotion, it is not impossible to make some innovations appropriately, do you know Valodos? Liu Yufan asked with a smile.
"I know, the pianist of the United States, the king of adaptation, I have heard him change Turkey." Lang Lang said with a smile.
"What do you think?" Liu Yufan asked with a smile. This Valodos is a freak, he was born in a formal music school, but he is not good at playing the classics, and he adapts the classical piano for music, a good Mozart's "Turkish March", which was changed beyond recognition by him, but the difficulty of playing and appreciation have increased by several levels, which has set off a storm in the piano world.
"It's not good, my teacher listened to it, and he was so angry that he cursed." Lang Lang said with a smile.
"Hehe, it's no wonder, Mr. Ling is a classical master, it's strange not to be angry when you hear someone change Mozart's tune like this. But I think it's a revelation. I thought, music is for everyone to listen to, people don't listen to Ling's tunes, what is the meaning of Ling's music? I'm not saying I have to change the tune to Valodos, but what's the bad about making some changes in the right way to incorporate trends? Liu Yufan said.
"Hehe, Ling's idea is too advanced, it is estimated that if those old antiques hear it, they will definitely scold Ling, by the way, have you said these words, Ling Yuan and Shi Shucheng?" Lang Lang asked with a smile.
"I haven't told them yet, I don't want to be scolded, after all, I'm still in school like Ling, but this doesn't mean that we are all young people, so we should naturally be bolder." Liu Yufan looked at Lang Lang and said.
"Alas, I'm still not that bold, let's play the classics first. When you become famous one day, maybe you can really make some changes, I wish you success! Lang Lang said, and once again stretched out his hand to Liu Yufan.
"Well, I'll work hard, come on!" Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Next, we will invite young pianists Lang Lang and Liu Yufan to bring us a double piano ensemble "Defending the Yellow River"!" With Zhu Jun's announcement, a huge symphony instantly sounded on the stage, and at the same time, two pianos slowly rose from the center of the stage, and Lang Lang and Liu Yufan were already sitting in front of their respective pianos to prepare.
This is the first time that the Spring Festival Gala has used a large-scale lifting stage, and this way of appearing naturally attracted the attention of the audience at once.
Compared with singing and dancing programs, this two-piano "Defending the Yellow River" is naturally more professional. In front of the TV, those viewers who are engaged in piano performance or piano education immediately attracted a lot of attention by this program.
"Defending the Yellow River" is the fourth movement of the piano concerto "Yellow River", and it is also the most widely known movement. Clayderman's popular piano tunes are more widely circulated. It's just that because it is too professional and difficult to play, many piano lovers just like to listen to it, but they don't have the ability to play.
And playing such a piece also requires a high degree of artistic expression. You know, the more famous the song, the more difficult it is to play, because people are too familiar with it, and there are many famous pearls in front of it, and it is naturally not easy to play it to a high level.
Zhou Guangren, Shi Shucheng, Ling Yuan and several other piano masters of the Central Conservatory of Music are also sitting in front of the TV sets at their respective homes at the moment, watching the passionate collision of these two proud protégés on the stage.
At this moment, Graffman, a famous pianist and educator in the United States and the president of the Curtis Institute of Music, is also holding a cup of steaming coffee and watching the show with great interest. Foreigners don't celebrate the Spring Festival, but knowing that his student union will perform on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Graffman still stayed in front of the TV, waiting to watch his performance. …,
Far away in Moscow, Russia, Naumov and other teachers from the Chaiyuan Academy are also paying attention to this performance.
Dazhai Village, Liu Yufan's home. The moment they heard the host announce the show, the whole family immediately became excited, and their eyes were glued to the TV screen without blinking. Even the elderly grandfather stopped rubbing the hemp walnuts in his hands.
In Beijing, in a house in Xiangshan Villa, Chen Siying held the remote control, looked at the TV screen in front of her, her eyes did not blink, and her friend Yajing deliberately reached out and shook it in front of her eyes, but the little girl didn't blink her eyes, and directly grabbed a pillow next to her and smashed it.
"Heavy color and light friends!" Ya Jing muttered with a snort.
In Jianghai City, Jiang Ya shrunk in her small room alone, looking at the familiar figure on the screen, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, full of pride.
In the living room, Jiang Yifan and Liu Fang looked at the closed room in their daughter's room, and they both sighed secretly.
The magnificent orchestral music suddenly stopped, and there was a brief silence in the music.
Immediately, Lang Lang's hands suddenly raised, his five fingers opened, and he fell towards the keys with an exaggerated body movement!
"Knock~~" A heavy octave sounded, the huge Xinghai piano made a heavy sound, and the octave of both hands created a condensed momentum, gradually marching firmly towards the treble area!
"This kid, the way he plays is still so exaggerated, hey!" Looking at Lang Lang's performance, Ling Yuan shook his head and said. Lang Lang she had brought it for a while, but Ling Yuan said a few times about his performance and he didn't change it, and Ling Yuan was a little unhappy in his heart.
However, Graffman, who was far away in the United States, had a hint of appreciation in his eyes. This kind of out-of-the-box, flamboyant playing style is exactly what he likes.
Pure American playing style.
