Chapter 147: Deciding to Participate
is different from the format of the drinking party in Caiyun, the exchange meeting in the imperial capital is a real selection competition, and in addition to the musicians association as judges, there are hundreds of spectators who join in the fun by buying tickets. Well, it should be that the clubhouse is to listen to music......
Seeing this situation, Zhang Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly, and Zheng Xiao also asked: "Why are you sad, how can you say that you are also a star, are you afraid of showing your face in front of the public?" ”
Although this theater is smaller than the Qingxi Concert Hall, it is more luxuriously decorated, Zhang Yao said: "I thought it was just an internal exchange, you see that those audiences are all dressed up, and I am going to go on stage dressed too casually, which will make people say that they disrespect the audience." ”
"It seems that you choked up with a Jiangnan pianist named Lu Le that day, I don't know if others will pick on it, that guy will definitely not be able to run."
Zheng Xiaoyi smiled: "That person named Lu Le is not small, he should also participate in this exchange meeting, have you seen it?" ”
"No, isn't it over there?"
Zhang Yao glanced at Lu Le, and Lu Le had already noticed him, but as if he hadn't seen it, he continued: "Forget it, I don't want to participate in the competition anyway, so it's better to just abstain." ”
As soon as he said this, the head teacher came over with a few people, and said directly: "President Ding, this is Zhang Yao, the representative of our Caiyun, don't think that he is just a pop idol, to Alice and the moonlight song are all composed by him." ”
"Zhang Yao, I have wanted to see you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to not only have outstanding achievements in pop music, but also have such high attainments in piano. As long as you're out of the way. This piano competition is definitely in your pocket. ”
President Ding's performance was even more exciting than the original head teacher. After the introduction, some people joked to close the distance, saying: "It's not just pop music and piano, Zhang Yao is now very successful in animation and film music." ”
Although the movie "Floating Snow" is not as popular as "Light Girl", the popularity of "Laughing Red Dust" is much higher, and it should be said that everyone has their own gains.
"Zhang Yao, wait a minute, it will depend on your performance."
President Ding said, "Although you are already a candidate for reservations. I don't have to perform on stage in order to be able to convince the public, as long as you play the moonlight song, there will be no problem, fortunately for you. ”
"President Ding, I didn't know that this was a real competition, and you see that I am not suitable for the stage dressed like this."
Zhang Yao was about to shirk it, but President Ding had already smiled and said: "Young people, it's understandable to have a little personality, it doesn't matter, as long as you play the piano well and wear any clothes, even if it's the real Chopin International Piano Competition." I also support you in wearing it like this. ”
Zhang Yao smiled bitterly and explained again: "President Ding." I'm really only good at composing, if you want to talk about piano skills, it's actually a lot worse, you know I'm a pop singer now, and time is tight, in fact, I really haven't thought about it......"
Zhang Yao originally wanted to say it directly, but he didn't think about participating in the competition, but he didn't expect Zheng Xiaoyi to interrupt him and said: "President Ding, what Zhang Yao means is that he didn't think that he could really get the ranking, but he will definitely work hard." ”
President Ding looked at Zhang Yao suspiciously, and then said with a smile: "Zhang Yao, it's a good thing to be modest, but it's not right to be arrogant, and besides, we don't mean that you have to get a ranking." ”
The head teacher also continued: "With the song to Alice and Moonlight, it is okay to make your name resounding all over the world, Zhang Yao, it doesn't matter if you can get a name or not, as long as you promote these two songs, let everyone know that this is done by the musicians of our Celestial Empire, you will already win glory for the country." ”
"To Alice" has long been spread through Ai Xiaoqi's grandparents who love to show off, and now "Moonlight Song" has also been brought over, and it is very simple to spread it, but it is only a score that has been circulated, and no record has been released.
"Okay, we won't bother you, you can prepare well."
President Ding said and left with someone, and Zhang Yao said speechlessly: "Sister Xiaoyi, you know that I don't want to go to the competition, why do you want to agree for me?" ”
"You're a star now, of course, the more halos the better."
Zheng Xiaoyi smiled and said: "This is a matter of fame and fortune, and it's not really too busy to have time to go, so why refuse." ”
"I'm troublesome, since you say so, then let's participate."
Zhang Yao shrugged, he had an indifferent attitude, since Zheng Xiao also wanted him to participate, it was okay to participate, and then said: "By the way, since we want to promote, let's go back and release these two pianos, my album can't sell all shijie yet, but the two piano songs are no problem at all." ”
"I'll talk about this later, you better concentrate on this selection first."
When Zheng Xiaoyi spoke, the competition had officially begun amid applause, and representatives from the 23 provinces, four municipalities and three autonomous regions of the Celestial Empire came to participate, and the number of people in each place was different, nearly 30 people.
The playing time is also long and short, the short is three minutes, the long ten minutes, and the whole game is over for three or four hours, which is longer than the time of most movies.
But how to say it's also a musical feast, the audience who can come to listen to the performance will not feel that this time is long, compared to the situation when there are more people pretending to be forced when Caiyun is different, the audience who came this time really likes music more, I dare not say that all of them, at least they occupy the majority.
Lu Le also took the stage as a representative of Jiangnan, but this time he didn't play "To Alice", it is estimated that he couldn't pull his face in front of Zhang Yao if he wanted to play this song, so he chose a more difficult song, which can also show his strength.
Zhang Yao appeared in the countdown, and the performance time was also the longest, and his appearance surprised many people, but no one was surprised as soon as the piano sounded, and after the three movements of "Moonlight Song" were played, everyone felt that he should appear here as a matter of course, more than other pianists.
It gathers the most well-known new generation of pianists from all over the country, which also represents the achievements of the Celestial Empire in piano in the future, and hopes that the more people there are, the better the standard, because the more this way, the more hope there will be for domestic music.
Although dressed casually, Zhang Yao still bowed after the performance, his main profession is a pop singer, not a pianist, so there shouldn't be any problems with casual dressing, right? (To be continued......)
