Chapter 11: The Apostasy of the Concert
Opening his sour eyes, he opened the curtains and walked out of the room, where Momo was already preparing breakfast. As soon as this little girl came, she took care of all the housework, which made me embarrassed, for fear that Su Yin would think I was mean and come and beat me. Momo didn't agree with my idea, saying that she lived here and ate here and I didn't take a penny, which was already very embarrassing, so the housework had to be handed over to her, so I was embarrassed.
went to work with Su Mo to the company, looking at every colleague in the office area who was working seriously, it seemed that nothing had changed. It's just that the appearance of Zhou Zhuojin made my mood difficult to calm down for a long time.
"Director Lan, please explain, why the light dance and flying performance will let the night kite follow, this is my sister took over first!" Xiao Yu reprimanded Lan Sha mercilessly in front of several directors, Lan Sha seemed to be surprised by this situation, and the light smile on his face did not decrease.
"Xiao Qing went on a date during work hours, and he couldn't be contacted after three hours of turning off the phone, what does Manager Xiao mean to dance lightly and everyone is waiting at the airport?" Lan Sha's joking words made Xiao Qing look at him in embarrassment. It seems that Xiao Qing didn't say this to Xiao Yu, who stood up for himself, and Xiao Yu was also stunned, and his arrogance disappeared in an instant.
"Ahem, even if that's the case, there are so many directors in the company, is there no one to assign." Lan Sha took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose and rubbed the sour bridge of his nose.
"Manager Xiao has always had a good life, naturally I don't know, that day only the night director in the company can get to the airport the fastest, and this planning is done by me, the night director is just an errand runner, Manager Xiao, this kind of small cheapness, don't be jealous." Lan Sha's fluttering words portrayed the Xiao brothers and sisters, one as not seeking a job in his position, and the other as having no real skills but loving to be in the limelight. When several directors heard Lan Sha's ridicule, they covered their mouths and smiled.
Xiao Yu could hear that Lan Sha was making sarcastic remarks, but his sister was wrong again and again, and Lan Sha and I couldn't catch the mistakes. I had to pull the corners of my mouth impatiently to find a step for myself.
"Night Director, since you have taken over this concert, you will be fully responsible." Originally, I wanted to say that the matter was postponed after the meeting, but Lan Sha finalized it at the meeting, where there is still room for turnaround. In displeasure, I had to agree hard.
Along the way, Du Ruo was chattering with Su Mo about his feelings about receiving the orchestra yesterday, Su Mo was quiet, not as lively as Du Ruo, so he didn't answer, just smiled and listened patiently.
After parking the car in the underground parking lot, Du Ruocai put away his speech and pulled Su Mo, who was slightly nervous, to go upstairs with me. The performance took place in the concert hall on the eighth floor, and as soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I heard a soft tune. The band is rehearsing in an orderly manner, and with their non-stage fright, they are just here to familiarize themselves with the venue and go through the motions.
Standing close and watching as the venue staff made one last confirmation to ensure that the concert would take place at seven o'clock tonight. Zhou Zhuo, who was playing the violin on the stage, saw me appear, looked at me with a smile on his face, and deliberately avoided his gaze. However, it was Su Mo and Du Ruo, who watched the light dance and flying performance so closely for the first time, and they were very excited.
"Night Director, the bathroom is fine."
"The stage lighting is fine."
"The powder room is fine." ......。 Listening to the report from the headset, he looked around and asked.
"Where's the guest seating chart, are you sure?" After waiting for a few seconds, there was no sound in the headset, and I was about to ask again when the sound of high heels appeared behind me.
"No problem." The voice, like in the headset, and like in the air, turned around in confusion, Su Yin was clasping her hands around her chest, looking at the rehearsal on the stage with a calm face.
"Sister, why are you here, aren't you on a business trip?" Su Mo, who was also discovered, said softly with a happy face, I don't know if the relationship has eased, Su Yin's face has lost the wariness he had for us.
"As soon as I got off the plane, Lan Sha sent me here." Su Yin was pretending to be reluctant in her tone, which amused Du Ruo and Su Mo, it turned out that this ice beauty would also make fun of Lan Sha.
"You talk first, I'll go backstage and have a look." Is this a good phenomenon, with Su Yin's temperament, it is difficult for her to reconcile with us.
At six o'clock in the evening, there was still an hour before the concert began, and everyone was busy and busy working. In the dressing room, players are adjusting their instruments in order to get the best results.
Zhou Zhuo saw me appear, stopped a colleague who was passing by him, and didn't know what he was saying. After a while, the colleague came over, politely handed me a note, smiled and thanked me, and opened it suspiciously.
Eat with me when you're done. Frowning and raising his head, Zhou Zhuojin looked at me with a smile on his face, his hearty appearance was like when he walked out of the airport.
I didn't bother to pay attention to it, threw it into the trash, listened to the sound from the headset, stepped on my high heels and left. Zhou Zhuojin saw it in his eyes, smiled helplessly and shook his head.
The last confirmation of the start of the concert was made with all departments, and the guests who arrived had already begun to take their seats, and after looking at the time, there was still half an hour left for the concert to begin.
"The kite is no good. Something went wrong in the background. Du Ruo's eager voice came from the headset, and he didn't bother to ask more questions, and trotted backstage. Lan Sha seemed to value this concert very much, and actually pushed off the high-level meeting to come, but at the moment there was chaos in the backstage.
"What's the situation?" Squeezed in and saw that a dressed girl was sitting in front of the dressing table and sobbing quietly, and Du Ruo saw me appear and walked up to me and whispered.
frowned, it turned out that this girl was a piano player in the orchestra, and she didn't know what she had eaten wrong, and she had a lot of rashes on her skin, and they were all scratched. Looking at the girl with all the red skin leaking out in front of her, it is indeed not easy to publicize it when the time is so tight now.
"Ziyang, in the case of clouds, I'm afraid it's impossible to come to power." A slightly older man said to Zhou Zhuojin, who was also worried, with a worried face.
"Why don't you coordinate and play without a piano."
"No, the piano is a heavy instrument, and it has already been placed, if it is removed at this moment, I am afraid it will cause suspicion." Du Ruo's words are not unreasonable, but everyone has to play their own instrument part right now.
"Yes, and this is the first time we have performed in China, and without piano playing, others will think that we are incomplete and not good for our image." The man who asked Zhou Zhuojin just now denied what I meant.
"What do you think?" Lan Sha, who had been watching quietly, smiled and said to Zhou Zhuojin, who was thinking. Zhou Zhuojin was silent, and only when everyone was about to lose patience did he speak quietly.
"Actually, I have a candidate, but I don't know if she will agree." As he spoke, Zhou Zhuojin raised his head and looked at me with a deep gaze. When everyone saw his expression, they all looked sideways at me.
"It turns out that the night director can also play the piano, night director, how many secrets you still have that we don't know." Lan Sha's teasing words are undoubtedly an active atmosphere at the moment, but in my eyes, it is a hand pushing me forward.
"Ziyang, this is no joke, this is our first performance in China, if something goes wrong, it will not only be an economic loss for us."
"Yes, Ziyang, are you sure that the night director can be the director?" Another female member asked softly, as if there was nothing good to do about it at the moment.
"I believe that she and I have a tacit understanding!" Zhou Zhuojin looked firm, as if he had reassured the members of the group. As soon as everyone saw that this was the best solution at the moment, they didn't say anything more, but had to acquiesce.
Everyone got ready again, looking at Lan Sha with an expression that I couldn't help it, I really wondered if all this could be designed by him. It's just such an important concert, and Lan Sha shouldn't joke about it.
After changing into costumes, sitting in front of the dressing table and drawing light makeup, Zhou Zhuojin leaned on the dressing table and handed me a sheet music, I heard that the music to be played today was composed by himself. Flipping through the pages is really a test of the dexterity of your fingers and brain.
"Don't be nervous, just like back then, you sat upstairs and played, and I watched you downstairs, just deal with it normally." Zhou Zhuojin's encouragement made me feel that it was the height of summer, and everything had not yet happened.
stood up and handed the phone to Su Mo, and told her to pay attention to all possible mutations at the concert. The timing was just right, and the moderator was a director of the creative department, who was making an opening statement.
The host's voice came to an end, and the other five performers walked onto the stage with a generous smile, standing still, bowing and saluting, and there was a round of applause from the full audience.
Fortunately, before going on stage, he deliberately wore a half-mask that did not affect his vision, so as not to show his blushing and nervous mood to the audience. Each walks to his own place, or stands or sits.
Su Mo and the others stood behind the curtain and looked at me nervously, for fear that I would not be able to finish it well. It's Lan Sha, I don't know if it's too relieved or trusting me, and I'm sitting in the front row of the audience at the moment, looking at me all day. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar black and white keys in front of me, the flowers of my youth are fluttering lightly, and it seems to be back.
A few people exchanged glances, signaling that they were ready to start, and after a while, there was a leisurely sound in the quiet hall, the elegance of the piano, the melodiousness of the violin, the sound of the flute, the richness of the cello, the grandeur of the tambourine, and the unique appeal of the harp. Intertwined, the lightness and melodiousness in the song make the audience's breath lighten unconsciously.
The melody of the piece became more and more urgent, and it was not difficult to hear that the composer wanted to express a feeling of impatience, and the cheerful rhythm became more and more intense, and the performance lasted for almost five minutes before the end of the note.
I pressed the last set of piano scores, and my nervous heart was relaxed, I haven't touched it for many years, and I haven't been unfamiliar. The applause erupted enthusiastically in the ears of everyone present.
The concert was held smoothly and successfully, dragging a somewhat tired body, watching the staff arrange for the audience to leave the venue in an orderly manner. All that remained was some follow-up work, changing out of the costume, not even bothering to take off the makeup, taking his bag and taking the elevator downstairs.
