Melodious and lilting strings reverberate at the Moscow State Theatre.

First of all, the timpani and double bass are played, and the first movement begins with a weak play, and a faint sound slowly comes out.

Later, the harp players of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra gently plucked their instruments, and the sound of the piano turned from rich to crisp, as if to move the listener's mind from the big ground to the sky.

The melody reverberates through the Moscow State Theatre, a building with a special amplification design that allows every note to be heard from every position of the Bolshoi Theatre.

The dignitaries of the two countries at the scene slowly closed their eyes and listened, admiring the beautiful sound of the piano.

Even involuntarily open the mouth for this reason, people's hearing depends on the ear, but when the mouth is opened, the sound can enter from the mouth and reverberate in the cochlea, which will make the sound clearer and louder.

The music continues to play, and the flute begins to join, playing the melody in the high register, as if the sky suddenly heard the chirping of birds.

Among the current audience, a small part of their identities are related to the entertainment industry, and they have heard the concerto "Liang Zhu" before.

However, most of it is heard while watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics on TV.

Now, when I hear this concerto again, it sounds completely different.

The live music is more abundant and more beautiful, as if it can penetrate the heart.

Compared with the "Liang Zhu" heard on TV, the live performance of "Liang Zhu" is simply the top enjoyment, a feast of instrumental symphony.

Subsequently, oboe, clarinet, and many other instruments joined the ensemble.

The tacit cooperation between a variety of musical instruments, and the overlapping of various timbres, make the tune progressive, and use music to outline a vivid picture of birds and flowers.

The first movement is played here.

Lu Xiang'er's violin solo began, telling the girl's heart with notes.

Acquaintance, friendship, cheerful not like the world.

It's as if this song was born for her.

The melody played by Lu Xiang'er is tactful and smart.

With the progression of the music, it tells the story of a young girl, who is in love at the beginning of her love, and meets a sweetheart, love comes sweet and nervous, and she wants to talk about it.

Let the audience in the audience seem to be able to understand the girl's mind from the tune.

The cheerful and magnificent melody seems to be blessed by everything for this sincere love.

With "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" played to the end of the first movement, the melody changed from the light and sweet time of classmates to the reluctance to part.

The sound of Lu Xiang'er playing the piano tells the story of a young girl full of worries, missing the helplessness and hesitation of her lover.

Immediately afterwards, the timpani drum sounds, a low, serious drum sound, followed by a melody with a strong sense of oppression in the brass, indicating that a storm is coming, and that the whole piece is about to take a major turn.

There were many Moscow artists in the field of music, and when they heard this, they all knew that the melody of this piece was about to change drastically.

Because according to the story of "Liang Zhu", Zhu Yingtai was forced to marry next.

The tense and hurried melody tells the story of the struggle between the two protagonists and the feudal forces, and tells the story of Zhu Yingtai's resistance to marriage and vowing to die.

Finally, a violin solo was set aside, and Lu Xianger used this solo to express the heroine's mind.

It is better to fly as a butterfly than to give in.

After the violin solo, the whole orchestra performs a large ensemble to bring the piece to its final climax.

The magnificent symphony made the audience feel the shock of the soul.

The last piano note fell, and the audience felt hearty.

The more people who know music, the more they can feel the musical attainments displayed in this piece.

After Lu Xiang'er finished playing, she felt that she had a wonderful breakthrough in performance, which was a sense of transparency where music and soul blended, which was wonderful.

……

After the performance, Lu Xianger and the orchestra conductor faced the audience together and bowed for a curtain call.

The audience raised their hands and applauded, which was more enthusiastic than the previous show.

In addition to some people from the two countries, there were also some artists in the fields of music and entertainment.

Among them was a virtuoso named Sumarokov, who was over sixty years old and had a high status in the music circle.

And this Sumarokov was a judge of the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition.

Due to his old age, Sumarokov usually lived in a small town and lived a calm and peaceful life.

This time I was invited to participate in the friendship between the two countries.

Before this, Sumarokov had not heard the concerto "Liang Zhu".

This was the first time I listened to it, and after listening to it, I was very pleasantly surprised, and I whispered to the musician next to me.

"I've never heard this piece of music, when did such an excellent piece come out?"

"I've heard this concerto before, and I played it once at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games held in China. However, the venue was too empty that time, and the sound was far less good than this time. ”

Symphony music still needs to be listened to in an enclosed space in order to truly feel the shock of the music.

Playing in an open area, the effect will be much worse.

"Is this a concerto composed by a Chinese composer?"

"Yes, it is said to have been written especially for the principal violinist, and it is an enviable love story."

"It's really remarkable, and I have a little impression of whether this principal violin has won the Paganini Gold Medal and played a piece called 'The Lark'." Although Sumarokov had not heard of "Liang Zhu", he had heard of the gold medal winner of the Paganini Competition.

"That's her, will she compete next month?"

"I didn't pay attention to whether her name was on the entry list."

The Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition is held in three rounds.

There were hundreds of applicants in the first round.

Even the judges don't remember the names of every contestant.

So Sumarokov really doesn't know if Lu Xiang'er has signed up for next month's competition.

"Mr. Sumarokov, if she participates in next month's competition, do you think she will win the prize?"

"This ...... The level of performance is indeed very high, but whether you can win the award or not depends on the situation of the competition and the level of the opponent. Sumarokov did not answer this question head-on.

After all, as a judge, you need to be neutral and not show your preference for the contestants in advance.

However, after tonight's sorority performance, he remembered this violin concerto called "Liang Zhu".

……

At the end of the performance, Lu Xiang'er got down from the stage, threw herself into Fang Xing's arms, and hung it around her neck for two laps before coming down.

Fang Xing was behind the curtain backstage, stretched out his finger and pointed to an old gentleman in the audience, and said, "That is Sumarokov, the judge of the Tchaikovsky Competition." Would you like to go over and say hello to him later? ”

For international competitions such as Tchaikovsky and Paganini, it is normal for contestants and judges to meet at the party, greet each other, and get to know each other.

The circle of violin playing is so big, reaching a certain height, and they basically know each other.

"Still don't." Lu Xiang'er shook her head, thinking that it was better not to take the initiative to say hello.

Although there are many contestants who will use various methods to lobby the judges, Lu Xianger still can't wipe off her face, thinking that it is good to participate in the competition at a real level, and it doesn't matter if she can win the award or not.

In fact, Fang Xing is also this kind of character, whether it is the Golden Melody Award or the TV series award, when he won the award, he never lobbied the judges.

Everything speaks with strength, and when the strength arrives, you can always win the award.

If you can't get it this time, you can definitely get it next time.

"Okay. However, I just saw that Sumarokov applauded, and he was very satisfied with the performance of "Liang Zhu". Fang Xing added.

Lu Xiang'er was very happy when she heard this, patted her chest and said, "Then I'll rest assured." ”

……

The fraternity of the two countries took place for three days.

After the end, Song Yuntao was very satisfied with the performance and praised everyone in the art troupe.

The performance was a complete success, which brought the friendship between the two countries to a successful end.

When the sorority is over, it means that the official work is over.

You will have two days of free time before taking a flight home.

finally came to Moscow, Lu Xianger didn't want to miss the opportunity, and decided to have a good time.

After the performance of the sorority, Lu Xianger was in the hotel and began to do his homework, planning a two-day trip to Moscow.

"First of all, the Kremlin is definitely going to go, this is the most famous attraction in Moscow, it is definitely going to go." Lu Xiang'er discussed with Fang Xing while doing the strategy.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Fang Xing's attitude towards tourism is to relax, and Lu Xianger will go wherever he goes.

"There's also Red Square, and I'm definitely going to see this. However, this is a square, just stop by when shopping, this is not in a hurry......"

Lu Xiang'er continued to make a strategy and began to record the time in the travel album: "Hmm...... The Kremlin is only open until 6 p.m., and it is closed to 5 p.m., so you can't go at night. ”

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Normal scenic spots, you can't enter them at night." Need extra attention to this? ”

Lu Xiang'er immediately shook her head: "That's not necessarily, if you look at this history museum, this one will open at nine o'clock in the evening, and you can go back after dinner." ”

Fang Xing took the travel album and saw that the time written on it was indeed open at night.

Lu Xiang'er put down the album, put on a serious expression, and asked, "Do you have any other attractions you want to visit?" ”

Fang Xing replied casually: "I can do it all." ”

"It's okay, it just doesn't matter. No, you have to have an attitude. Lu Xiang'er frowned and raised her voice, emphasizing her attitude.

Fang Xing looked up at her, reached out to pick her chin, and said with a smile: "Is it important to go to any attractions?" What matters is who to go with. ”

Lu Xiang'er originally wanted to use the topic to play and pretend to be angry, but she didn't hold back and pursed her lips and laughed.

After a while, she asked, "Don't you have any special attractions that you want to visit?" ”

Fang Xing actually didn't pay attention to the tourist attractions at all, and replied: "I listen to you, if you want to go to the end of the world, I will accompany you to the end of the world." If you want to go to the cape, I will accompany you to the cape. ”

When Lu Xiang'er heard this answer, she was still a little dissatisfied, frowning and asking, "Don't you really think that there are any attractions that are particularly worth visiting?" ”

Fang Xing saw her expression, he must have other meanings to express, but he had to hold back and refuse to say it directly.

This has happened many times before.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Can you provide options?" ”

"Okay."

Lu Xiang'er opened the travel album and said, "Option A, Moscow University; Option B, Moscow State Circus; Option C, St. Basil's Cathedral; Option D......"

Without waiting for her to finish saying option D, Fang Xing directly replied: "Choose C, St. Basil's Cathedral." ”

Lu Xiang'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Why this?" ”

Fang Xing said resolutely: "There is no why, it's just like love." ”

Lu Xiang'er's smile was almost unbearable, and she said with satisfaction: "Okay, you got it right." ”

After all, they have been together for more than three years.

Fang Xing still knows a lot about this girl's preferences.

In other words, women are all the same, and they attach great importance to the sense of ceremony.

In the minds of women, the church represents love, loyalty, and marriage, and has a special sense of ceremony.

Therefore, Fang Xing didn't even need to listen to option D, he directly chose the right answer.

Lu Xiang'er was happy, closed the travel album, and decided: "Then it's a happy decision, tomorrow morning I will go to the Kremlin first, then St. Basil's Cathedral, hang out on Red Square in the afternoon, and finally visit the History Museum in the evening." ”

After hearing this plan, Fang Xing already felt that tomorrow would be a tiring day.

However, since you are in Moscow, you can't stay in a hotel and go out, you should really go to these famous attractions.

After making a strategy, the two turned off the lights and went to sleep.

As a result, I woke up the next day, and it was already ten o'clock.

I was so tired from the performance the day before, not only physically, but also psychologically.

So I slept until dawn.

During this period, Lu Xiang'er woke up once, but in the end, she couldn't get sleepy, so she decided to squint for a while.

As a result, it was already ten o'clock in a squint.

"Hurry up! It's too late, we have to walk two attractions in the morning. After Lu Xiang'er woke up, she urged while washing.

Fang Xing glanced at the time and said with a smile: "It's all at this point, let's give up struggling." Go to an attraction in the morning, go to the cathedral in the afternoon, and stay on Red Square for tomorrow. ”

Lu Xianger had already planned tomorrow's attractions, but the attractions she was going to tomorrow were relatively not as famous as today's attractions.

Therefore, it is not impossible to make trade-offs.

She said while washing, "That's the only way, then you should move quickly." If you don't move, what's the use of me being in a hurry? ”

Fang woke up, walked into the bathroom, hugged her from behind, and said, "Don't worry, I didn't go to the attractions this time, save for next time, and we will come back next time, and we can play as long as we want." ”

After hearing this, Lu Xiang'er's anxious mood slowly calmed down, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay...... Well? Where do you put your hand? ”

Fang Xing smiled evilly: "What? Rub the oil, no? ”

"Okay, you're going to put on a mask, you go out quickly." Lu Xiang'er pushed Fang Xing out of the bathroom, closed the door and began skin care.
