Chapter 426: What Piano to Play in the Middle of the Night!
Fang Zhao didn't come out of the room until dinner time that day.
Because Nati Woods didn't know when Fang Zhao would go out, he didn't wait for him to have dinner together, and when he saw Fang Zhao, he took the opportunity to introduce that friend's band, and also said what they meant, asking Fang Zhao if he would like to play a piece on stage tonight.
Fang Zhao thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay." β
Several members of Nati Woods' friend's band saw Fang Zhao agree, and expressed their willingness to give up the zero point field and let Fang Zhao take the stage first.
Fang Zhao didn't know about Saturday's show in the space store, and Nati Woods patiently explained it to him.
After all, Fang Zhao's popularity in Yanzhou is there, and Notti Woods said that if Fang Zhao is willing to show up, there is no need for Fang Zhao to worry about security, he will send more people over, and he will never let Yu Ji harass Fang Zhao.
"It's still early before the zero o'clock field, do you want to practice? Have you figured out which one to play? Nanti Woods asked. Most of Fang Zhao's works were not suitable for guitar performance, and he thought that Fang Zhao would choose other people's works.
"Don't worry." Fang Zhao said, "I made a new song today, and it's just right to play it on the guitar." β
Nanti Woods was overjoyed, "Come on, come on!" I'll practice with you! Is this new work different from the previous one? Oh, you didn't bring a guitar, I'll take you to pick another one, I don't have much else here, just a lot of guitars! Tell me what you like! β
Several members of the band who were invited to perform looked at Natsu Woods' excited appearance and whispered, "Natsu has a lot to talk about today." β
"He's in a good mood today."
"I'm in a good mood today, I didn't expect to not only see Fang Zhao today, but also hear Fang Zhao's new work!"
"But Fang Zhao is a creative talent, and it's hard to say what the live performance is like if I haven't seen it."
Their band's global fame is far greater than that of the high-level call, but in SPACE, in Yanzhou's pop music circle, they still have confidence. Compared with creation, than the depth of the work, they can't compare, but in the stage performance of space, they are not afraid, and let the zero point on the hour to Fang Zhao, first, because of Fang Zhao's current high popularity, they show goodwill; Second, they also want to touch Fang Zhao's strength first, so that they can deal with it, if Fang Zhao's performance is not good, they will round the field and give this new star a little face. If Fang Zhao behaved well, they would also adjust their original plans accordingly, so as not to be suppressed and lose face.
β¦β¦
Every Saturday night from 10 to 0 o'clock, it is the time when the space is released, and under the strong drum beat and the rhythm of the high flying, the people who come here gradually show their crazy and wanton side.
Human beings in the dark night are always emotionally passive. The grievances and sadness of the day, the fatigue and hypocrisy, or the powerlessness that I thought I had concealed well, all came out from under the perfectly disguised skin.
Of course, there are also people who come here purely to drink, listen to songs, chat and brag.
A VIP box.
A webcamer started today's live stream. He comes to the space every Saturday to broadcast live, for the natural zero point show.
"It's a bit noisy here...... Can you hear me? β
The anchor controlled the camera and filmed the situation outside the box.
"Sure enough, there are a lot of people here on Saturday, and I don't know who is invited to the zero o'clock field today."
Minors are not allowed to enter here, even if they are adult college students, the consumption here is also high for them, once or twice is fine, but there is still financial pressure if they come every week. Besides, even if you come in, you can't afford to buy a good seat, not to mention this kind of box, one hour may be their living expenses for a month, so it's still cost-effective to watch the live broadcast.
The anchor is different, he has a little financial resources, he has booked a place every time, has his own box, which is convenient for live broadcast and interaction with the audience, and those who are reluctant to watch the scene will watch his live broadcast every Saturday.
As a music anchor who has become famous in the live broadcast industry, he uses professional live broadcast equipment, even if the surrounding environment is very noisy, it will not affect the interaction with fans during the live broadcast.
A SVIP box.
Seven or eight people gathered here.
"It's not me who blows, I'm here, I've been an old customer for more than 20 years, and the number of people who have been invited to perform over the years is uncountable, even if it's not famous, but those who are famous, even if I close my eyes, don't say all, I can guess who is performing on stage eight times out of ten! Wearing a mask can't stop my eyes! β
"Just you? Still screaming in front of me? You've only been listening to it here for more than 20 years, and I've not only listened to it here for 20 years, I've also watched music variety shows for 40 years! New and old singers, performers, etc., I am very familiar with those who are a little famous! β
"Bragging!"
"If you don't believe it, let's compare!"
"Compare to compare! Let's see who can guess first! If you lose, you will lend me your newly bought flying machine for three months. β
"Heh, afraid of you? I don't want your flying machine if you lose, you lend me a private cruise ship in Chasha Sea for three months. β
"Okay!"
"Hey, Ron, do you want to join?"
The people in the box looked at the man sitting on the couch and smoking.
Ron Zucker, the same age as Notty Woods, is an old customer of space here, and is also an old classmate of Notty Woods, with a good family background, he began to contact various musical instruments when he was a child, and has formed a band many times, and then had an accident with a hand injury, and he doesn't play the guitar much, but he likes to come to Notty Woods's store to listen to songs. In other ways, Ron may be mediocre in talent, but when it comes to hearing and discerning voices, he really isn't afraid of anyone. His ears were stamped as "Golden Ears" by the Yanzhou Music Artists Association!
Whoever is lip-synching and who is fixing the sound, he can hear it as soon as he listens to it. In addition, he has also done in-depth research on the styles of various music artists, most of the time, he can correspond his works to the right people, once a singer asked someone to write on his behalf but said that he created his own talent and personality, and finally was ruthlessly said by Ron Zucker on social platforms, which made a lot of trouble for a long time.
Hearing his friend call him, Ron Zucker waved his hand disinterestedly, "You guys play by yourself, I don't bully people." β
"Hey, yes, that's not really challenging for you." One said.
"Ron, that's a vistain-certified golden ear! It really wasn't difficult for him. β
"Speaking of ears, I think of Fang Zhao's touted 'Ears of God', I don't know how to compare with Ron."
The other person also smiled and said, "That's the ear of the gods, the level is not low, Ron, when will your 'golden ears' be upgraded to a level?" β
One is just "gold", and the other is praised as a "god" level, they don't know if this "god" level has water, but after all, it has been mentioned by major authorities, and they can't say anything. Of course, this does not prevent them from discussing in private.
Ron raised his eyes, took a drag on his cigarette, and "hummed" through his nose.
It's impossible to say that he doesn't care, but Ron's attitude towards Fang Zhao is flat, more because many of Fang Zhao's works are not the type he likes. He didn't deny that Fang Zhao was excellent, but whether he liked it or not, he said that Ron hadn't been to Fang Zhao's concert and had reservations about everything.
"Fang Zhao, that kid is a little talented."
Listening to the tone that was not salty or light, you knew that Ron didn't like Fang Zhao anymore, and the others didn't mention Fang Zhao anymore.
As the clock approached, the light in the arena changed, and the previous energetic rhythm and drum beat faded. The venue was quiet, and everyone knew the rules here.
People who have been in a wave of excitement, although they stopped, the heat in their eyes did not cool, but as time passed, the anticipation in their eyes became more and more prosperous.
"It's going to be zero o'clock soon!"
"I don't know who was invited today."
"Clear the stage, clear the stage, see what will be brought up...... Hey? Just a stool? β
After the re-cleaned front stage, the staff moved up a stool with some design, but no matter how good the design is, it is still just a stool! Everyone waited to see what else was going to be brought up, whether there were percussion instruments or anything like that, but after a while, there was still only one stool on the stage.
"The props are a little monotonous today."
Counting the time, everyone looked at the stage expectantly.
When the time shows zero o'clock, a man walks up to the stage in front of him with a guitar.
Look again, it's still one person.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
"Only one person?"
"Then who didn't say that there was inside information, and it was the band who was invited tonight? I was wondering if it was the band I liked, so I bought an extra two hours tonight just to wait for this. β
The space is billed by time, and many people have already arrived, waiting for hours just to see who is invited tonight.
"It doesn't look like a band. Pit people! Message went wrong! β
Regardless of whether they were cheated or not, at this time, everyone was also curious to look at the stage.
The people on stage were dressed in casual clothes with no distinctive features, hoods and masks, which covered their faces so tightly that they could not even see their eyes. The other party can see them through the mask, but they can't see through the mask.
A pair of eyes in the audience, from the figure, posture, skin color, hair to shoe size and jewelry on the stage, every detail was not missed, and I still didn't see any useful information.
"No tattoos, no necklaces, no rings, no studs, and shoes are not limited editions, who is this?"
"Although I don't have enough fashion eye, I can also see that this one really doesn't have any fashion sense, and I can see that he either has too short hair or no styling."
"I can see that the dress is featureless, and every move is imposing, most of which is outdated."
In the eyes of many people, the person who appears on stage now is not individual.
Many public figures with enough fame and online attention, especially those in the entertainment industry, have stylish hair when they appear in public, which is also the perception of many outsiders. But now, they glanced back and forth several times with a scanner-like gaze, and they didn't see any features, and if it weren't for the other party's appearance on the stage, they wouldn't have paid the slightest attention to the pile.
In the SVIP box, the people who are waiting to guess have no clue at this time.
"I can't see it. I'll analyze his techniques and style later. β
"At first glance, there are no characteristics, but fortunately, I am quite calm and I can't see nervousness."
Ron Zucker, the "Golden Ear" who was stamped and recognized by the Yanzhou Music Artists Association, also flashed interest in his eyes at this time.
Interesting. Notti Woods has a problem for everyone this time.
Natty Woods would not invite people who were not famous and did not have real talents to come over, could it be ...... Is it a big guy who has been out of the circle for a long time?
Who is it?
Seeing that the people on the stage were ready to start, Ron was a little more serious.
Fingertips? Not playing and singing?
On the stage, the zero-point performer wearing a mask, the moment he sat down, the aura around his body seemed to change suddenly, from an ordinary person to a solid statue, quiet, but extremely powerful, not saying a word, just expressing his emotions.
In the quiet venue, with a hint of mysterious prelude, it is clearly transmitted to every corner through the top sound equipment.
The melody starts with a light warm tone, and there is a slight and heavy sigh hidden in it, and the heart floats with it, and the brain is blank for a moment, inadvertently blending into it from an independent observer.
In the dimness, I saw a tree growing near the lake.
Standing under the tree, hanging his head, he saw his doubts in the reflection of the lake.
Seems to have forgotten something.
Is it a dream? Or is it ideal?
It's too far away to be found.
The clock is ticking.
The trees were silent, and the leaves fell to the ground, and were picked up by the wind and blown far, far away.
Follow those leaves, all the way through.
Go round and round, and walk in circles. Repeatedly, lost and regained.
The sun is warm and the wind is blowing, and the clouds are in the sky. Talk and laugh in the bustle, stay in the loneliness.
Time and space, distance.
Years, nostalgia.
A leaf drifts towards a distant galaxy, and colorful particles change suddenly.
When I stood still and looked back, I seemed to see again that long ago, the big tree by the lake, with its lush branches, and the people under the tree, were smiling.
Ron closed his eyes and listened to the strange sensation of the melody. I haven't heard of it before, but I always have a sense of intimacy, and it seems that I can hum it in the next second, as if it has been engraved in my soul. The world is quiet.
The cigarette caught in his finger was still smoking, but at the moment it seemed to be forgotten, and the air around him suddenly became clear, only the melody in his ears remained.
There are no fingers holding cigarettes, rhythmically and silently slapping on the table. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Slightly moist eyes.
Simple and rhyme, it is emotional.
Trust in the music, return to the thoughts, be quiet in the body and mind, and be at peace with the soul.
The strings seem to have life, and the timing of each note is just right, which makes people think about it, but it is finally clear, just like a long time has been precipitated, leaving some transparency and understanding.
Words have come out of the heart, but they stop at the mouth.
Clear, Enron.
Ron couldn't remember why he was here, just glad he was able to hear such a show. It's so moving, simple and pure, like a simple story that seems to have been forgotten for a long time when the weather is clear.
This piece is not long, less than four minutes, but it gives people the feeling of crossing a distant time and space, and they don't even have time to study the other party's playing techniques, and they don't care about analyzing the other party's music style, and their thoughts are taken away.
At the end of the song, Ron, who was brought back to his senses by the sudden burst of applause and whistles in the field, let out a long sigh, and his meaning was still unfinished.
"The exterior of the world, the inside of the world, the real work of art!"
After listening to space for so many years, there are very few people who can be praised as "works of art" by Ron Zucker on the spot!
Several other people in the box were also shocked by Ron's evaluation, but at the same time, their faces were full of distress. They haven't guessed who it is!
Look at each other. Oh, it's the same for everyone!
"Ron, do you hear who it is?" Someone asked.
Ron was silent, staring at the people on the stage, his eyes burning.
He can't hear it!!
But to be able to perform to such an extent, it must be the other party's own work, and the performance can have such expressiveness, bring such soul shock and resonance, such a strong strength, it will never be an unknown person!
Could it really be a big guy who has been out of the circle for many years?
In front of everyone's eyes, the people on the stage got up, bowed to everyone and thanked everyone, and neatly flicked their hoods behind them and took off their masks.
The moment the mask was lifted, the audience went crazy.
The man who was jumping and screaming and waving at the stage almost flashed his waist.
"Fang Zhao?"
"! It's Fang Zhao!! β
"Smoke me, am I hallucinating after drinking too much! I actually saw Fang Zhao here!! β
The drunk man on the sofa in the box opened his eyes vaguely and smacked his lips: "I actually dreamed that someone was calling Fang Zhao." β
There was another shout that seemed to be about to lift the ceiling.
Recently, there has been a lot of news, coupled with the popularity that Fang Zhao has accumulated before, most people in Yanzhou know Fang Zhao, unless they are face blind, they will not recognize that face.
Ron was so shocked that his cigarette dropped, and his eyes widened as if he had lost his worldview.
Swallowing his saliva, he searched out Fang Zhao's photo again and looked at it in disbelief, and then looked at the person holding the guitar on the stage, unable to lie to himself.
It turned out to be Fang Zhao!
Why is it Fang Zhao!!
He has also studied Fang Zhao's works, and there is no such simple lyricism at all! Moreover, this kind of expressiveness can't be done without decades of skills!
But! He swore with his golden ears that the performance just now was absolutely not fake!
Can...... Why Fang Zhao!
Ron's mind was raced with countless "whys", and the truth made him bald.
At the same time, Fang Zhao's movements were quickly spread through various information channels, and the entertainment records of the whole city rushed over to the space as if they were fishy.
On the Internet, fans, sunspots, and onlookers who followed the wind and followed the trend to join the lively crowd, tearing up the report and fighting together. There are also those who stir up the news and rub the heat, carnival in the middle of the night, and it is very lively.
On social platforms, reports and complaints and other incidents reached a peak in a very short period of time, the intelligent customer service was stuck, transferred to manual, and after a while, there was any failure, and the customer service team and operation and maintenance engineers in Yanzhou District were dug up in the middle of the night to work overtime.
It's you calling again!
What a piano to play in the middle of the night!!
Yes?!
What piano to play!!
The clichΓ© said lazily
Emmmmm, I'm back.
