Rebirth Turn - Chapter 72

November 25th of this year is a memorable day for both Lu Yan and Lu Yan’s fans. This may be the only time in Lu Yan’s entire acting career, maybe not, but it is definitely the first time that he has been so intimately integrated with classical music.

Although he didn’t follow the path of music, Lu Yan essentially loves music. Otherwise, under such difficult circumstances, he would not have insisted on learning the violin with Wang Chong for several years. Perhaps what he wanted to learn the most at the beginning was not the violin, but in the few years he followed Wang Chong, he was deeply influenced by his mentor, and he had already fallen in love with this kind of musical instrument that could play melodious, light and happy songs.

Although Wang Chong’s life was bumpy, his temperament was dilute and optimistic. He did not give up on himself or blame others because of the unhappiness of life. On the contrary, he was immersed in the world of music, happy and contented, and lived a strong and confident life. In the eyes of Lu Yan, who lacked fatherly love in his childhood and did not have his father to guide his life, Wang Chong once played this role, and the perseverance and unhurried side of Lu Yan’s character was influenced by it.

Now, Lu Yan felt very happy and cautious that he could replace his teacher to attend this farewell concert held by his teammates back then. He was finally able to do something for his teacher.

The farewell concert was held in the city’s grand theatre. Originally, according to Mr. Zhu and the others, there is no need to make it too big, a small indoor performance is enough. But since the planning has been handed over to the large-scale film and television entertainment company Starry Sky, and there is still a big star like Lu Yan, how can it be possible to make small troubles, and naturally have to do it big. As for Mr. Zhu and the others, as long as there is a reason, they can donate more if they make more money. Anyway, doing charity is always better, so they have no opinion. Originally, for them, they only need to do their own performances well. enough.

Because the publicity and gimmicks in the early stage were enough, although the largest theater was used, the tickets for the concert were sold out in less than a week. Online scalper tickets are sky-high, and many fans cry because they can’t buy tickets or are too far away.

On the day of the concert, it was even more grand. The official performance was at 7:30, but before 6:00, there was a long queue at the entrance of the theater, and all the people in line were dressed in formal suits, men’s suits, women’s dresses, because the weather was already cold, ladies. They put on a coat over the dress, but they were all packed neatly and properly. Generally, on such occasions, the audience will not come to line up too early. Basically, they will directly enter the venue after the entry time. It is really rare to line up in formal clothes like this, so that passers-by who do not know why are looking at it, asking what is today? Big coffee came to perform, and also brought such a queue.

Some of the people in the queue were probably not used to this kind of attire, and they tugged at the corners of their clothes and pulled their ties from time to time. Needless to say, these people are definitely Lu Yan’s fans, and some of them may not even know what classical music is, but regardless of whether they understand or not, it is necessary to support the male god. And long before the ticket sales began, the official website continued to issue various announcements, repeatedly emphasizing the etiquette of appreciating classical music, such as wearing formal attire, turning off or vibrating mobile phones, not taking photos and videos at will, not walking around and leaving the venue in the middle, and not allowed to Noisy, don’t applaud casually, brush it over and over again. In short, we must pay attention to quality, quality, quality! Absolutely must not lose share to the male god.

The performance is about to start, and there is a large group of fans waiting for tickets at the door. Once someone buys a ticket but can’t come and wants to transfer it, a group of people will gather around and compete for the price, which terrifies some simple classical music fans. Jump, what’s the matter today? Isn’t it just a farewell show? As crazy as that?

The happiest ones are the scalpers. The last few tickets were sold at almost the same price as the front-row ticket price for a popular singer’s concert. When there were no more tickets left, a few scalpers got together to find out how many pre-orders they had pre-ordered. Those who bought less at the beginning were stunned. If they knew that they could get such a high level, they should mobilize all their family members and relatives from the beginning. Come to grab tickets, it is too late to regret it, I just hope that there will be more concerts like this in the future.

When it was time for the performance to close the door of the theater, the fans who had waited all night for the cold wind and couldn’t get tickets finally became desperate. The vulnerable ones squatted down and cried loudly. Some of them stood red. Some of them secretly wiped their tears from their eyes. What image do they care about at this time? It’s too late to be sad. Seeing those uncles of scalpers who have always been hard-hearted, they can’t bear it.

At this time, the theater was full, and the first two rows were free tickets, some for sponsors, some for invited media reporters, and the biggest part for the relatives of the performers. Because the sales were so good, even Lu Yan only took his part of the free tickets according to the rules, and there was no more than one. Except for one for the most important person, Song Hui and Qin Feng each took two, and the rest A few of the pictures are not enough for those friends in the circle who are better friends. Basically, each part of the gift ticket is not enough points, because even if the person being gifted has no interest in himself, there are always people around him who want to ask for tickets. So much so that even Qin Feng complained jokingly in front of Lu Yan. During this time, he was basically the one who called him to ask for tickets, so that he couldn’t even turn on his mobile phone.

Su Mo quietly found his seat and sat down, quietly waiting for the start of the performance. The ticket Lu Yan left him was definitely the best seat, not only could he hear the most clearly, but he could also see the most clearly. In order to be able to return to China on this day, Su Mo worked a lot of overtime during this time. In the last two weeks, he was so busy that he couldn’t sleep for four hours a day, but he finally managed everything and came back. Participating in every event in the life of the most important person is worth all the hard work.

At exactly 7:30, the lights on the stage came on, the curtain was slowly lifted, and all the instruments and performers were already in place. The gray-haired conductor saluted the audience before turning around and raising the baton.

Except for Lu Yan, the performers in this farewell concert were all band members of the National Centre for the Performing Arts. At that time, the organization was not as complete as it is now, and the number of bands was not as large as that of today’s bands. However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. Some also have it, it is a complete band configuration. Because the theme is to commemorate, everyone’s position is the same as that year, and Lu Yan is the first left hand facing the orchestra. This is the position of the first violin, and it is also the position of Wang Chong back then.

Because everyone is sitting, and everyone is wearing suits and there are musical instruments in front of them, it is not easy to tell who is who. Fortunately, the area of ​​​​the violin is small, and a young man is still quite a bit among a group of elderly people. It was conspicuous, so sharp-eyed fans quickly found Lu Yan’s figure. Some people were so excited that they wanted to say a few words to their friends when they saw the male god’s excitement, but they were immediately stabbed in the waist by the person next to them. Wonderful.

Su Mo’s position was facing Lu Yan’s direction, so he could see clearly.

Like a regular concert, this performance is divided into two performances, the top and bottom, and the repertoire is also fixed. There is only one song in the first half. Listeners who have a little knowledge of symphony will be very familiar with it. It is Beethoven’s Sixth Pastoral Symphony.

The “Pastoral” symphony is divided into five movements, nearly 27 minutes in length, and each movement has a subtitle, expressing the feelings caused by the fun of the countryside in people’s hearts.

With the advancement of each movement, the listeners feel the joy of country life with the music. From the joy of the first arrival, to the poetry of being by the stream, then to the raucous and joyful assembly and the violent storms that followed, and when the rain subsides, the pastoral songs take its place, the earth returns to calm, and the grass emits a fragrance. The whole symphony ends in a mood of joy, tranquility, and relief.

Although the performers are either elderly or non-professionals, the whole process of performance is very well grasped. The sound connection and response of various instruments are very harmonious. It is definitely a listening enjoyment, even the most professional. people can’t fault it. Today, the fans who know nothing about classical music and even feel that classical music is difficult to understand, can feel the artistic conception expressed in this song, and some people even have a strong interest in classical music because of this. Interest, and then become a loyal fan.

After the whole song is over, it’s halftime.

The curtain was slowly drawn up, the performers filed out, and the staff rushed to the stage to clean up the instruments and prepare for the second half of the performance.

Backstage Zhu Yuchi patted Lu Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Performed very well, even better than in any rehearsal. He is indeed a performer.”

Lu Yan smiled humbly, “It was Mr. Zhu who gave good guidance, and it was also thanks to the teachings of the seniors.”

The other members also came up to express their appreciation for Lu Yan’s wonderful performance. In the last month or so, they rehearsed together almost every day. Everyone was very fond of this young man with a humble attitude and hard work. At first, he had doubts about his level. Eliminated, and even more impressed by the rapidity of his progress. Some seniors have also changed their impression of the impetuous utilitarianism in the entertainment industry, and even feel that if young people in the entertainment industry are like Lu Yan, then there is nothing wrong with chasing stars. Needless to say, the grandchildren of these seniors’ families almost all became Lu Yan’s fans under their influence.

Zhu Yuchi said again, “It’s up to you in the second half, the old guys are not very physically strong and can’t support the audience, so it’s up to you.”

“Don’t say that,” Lu Yan said with a smile, “It should be that I want to thank the seniors for giving me this opportunity, thank you for your trust.”

Zhu Yuchi said with relief, “Wang Chong is the most talented among us. I didn’t expect that a student would be so good. I really have to admire it.”

“It’s my luck to meet the teacher.”

The second half of the performance started with the eager anticipation of the audience, and the fans couldn’t help but boil after the curtain opened this time.

Lu Yan has already changed into a set of costumes. This time, he is no longer wearing a traditional suit, but a more luxurious tuxedo, with a smooth fit, a handsome slit at the back, and a delicate bow tie on a white shirt. It sets off Lu Yan’s tall and straight figure, and also sets off his calm and elegant temperament. His position has also changed, standing in the center of the stage, the lights are sprinkled down, as if it will shine, perfect and noble like a god.

The fans were so excited that they almost stood up. In order to prevent themselves from screaming, they had to clench their fists and pound their mouths hard, shaking with excitement.

Su Mo also stared blankly at Lu Yan who was glowing on the stage. He always knew how good-looking and charming Lu Yan was, but under the background of this atmosphere, his heart beat uncontrollably. He couldn’t help but burn his face.

Feeling the commotion under the stage, Lu Yan smiled slightly, staggered one foot backwards, raised the hand holding the bow, bent down and saluted, elegant and charming beyond words.

There was another gasp from the audience, and then it slowly subsided.

On the background of soft string vibrato, the flute played a beautiful and moving bird-like colorful melody, followed by the oboe with a soft and lyrical introduction theme, showing a picture of a sunny day, bright spring, and pink willows by the grassy bridge. Green, a picture of flowers in full bloom.

After that, the solo violin starts from the soft and simple A string, and plays a poetic love theme in the clear treble area. After a repeat on the timid G key, the piece shifts to A fine-tuning, where the cello counters the solo violin with a dashing tone.

This “Liang Zhu”, which is so familiar to Chinese people, is a violin concerto. The protagonist is naturally the violin in Lu Yan’s hand. With other orchestral instruments, it plays a touching love theme.

This piece was Wang Chong’s favorite piece back then, and it was also the one that Lu Yan had heard the most and played the most. This time, it was shown in front of thousands of audiences on behalf of the teacher, and his technique was very skillful.

The sound of the violin is melodious and light, and the first half of “The Liang Zhu” is lively and lyrical. This show is only going to play the first half.

Lu Yan’s technique of using the bow is very beautiful. His fingers are slender and flexible, jumping with a string of notes, like a flying butterfly. Lu Yan is not only a performer, he is also an actor. The expression on his face is very relaxed. As the music changes, he shows different emotions, which makes it easier for people to understand the content of the music, not only auditory but also visual. enjoyment.

More than ten minutes later, the “Presentation Department” has come to an end. In the lyrical and slow B levy tune, with the light harmony and orchestration, it brilliantly depicts the picture of the eighteen sending off, saying goodbye to the long pavilion, and reluctantly giving up.

After the song ended, Xianchong finally couldn’t help but burst into applause. Amidst the applause, Lu Yan still saluted gracefully and walked off the stage along with the other performers.

Soon, the staff pushed a piano up, followed by Zhu Yuchi and Lu Yan, who was holding a violin. Audiences who have read the program will know that this is the finale of the concert, Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No. 6 in A major, No. 30-1.

What Beethoven pursues in this piece is plain expression. Compared with the last two pieces, there are not many changes, so the number of performances is also less, but it is suitable for the current Lu Yan. This piece takes about 22 minutes to play, and the whole piece is divided into three movements. The first movement is Allegro. The violin in the exposition and the slender insertion of the sixth note, the syncopation stretch of the two instruments in the development, and the colorful decoration of the piano staccato are all distinctive. The second movement is an emotionally slow Adagio. The third movement is a slightly faster allegro with a variety of changes.

Although there are not many changes, it is only relatively speaking, and the overall performance is still very sophisticated. Especially this time there are only two kinds of musical instruments alternated, the violin is still the protagonist, and Zhu Yuchi, who is the concerto, is the leading pianist in China. His level is slightly inferior, and he can’t keep up with other people’s rhythm, let alone become the lead voice.

At this point in the concert, those who had doubts or concerns about Lu Yan’s level had nothing to say. Although Lu Yan’s performance has not yet reached the top level, many professionals may not be able to have his current state on such a large stage. After all, performance is not only about the level, but also the psychology. It is not easy to present himself in front of so many people, especially Lu Yan is not only a non-professional, but also all the professionals who work with him. His ability to perform smoothly already shows that he is mentally strong. Needless to say, he played at an exceptional level.

When the last note falls, people are still immersed in this perfect performance, and the charm of the music is fascinating. Zhu Yuchi stood up and walked over, and together with Lu Yan, they saluted the audience. At this time, people woke up, the concert was over, thunderous applause followed, and many audience members stood up excitedly.

The two walked towards the backstage together. At this time, I don’t know who called “Encore” first, and then some people followed. Finally, the whole theater was filled with neat “Encore” sounds and matched the rhythm. applause. Although the space is still large, the thousands of people shouting the same words rhythmically together with applause, the movement is really not small.

The audience shouted for about a minute, and finally someone stepped onto the stage.

It was Zhu Yuchi and Lu Yan who came up this time. The piano just now was still on the stage. Obviously, they had already made preparations.

After the two performers took their seats, the audience consciously re-sitted, and the theater was silent again.

This time, the sound of the piano sounded first. The sound of flowing clouds and flowing water created a tragic picture of the ruined walls in the ashes after the trauma of the war, and the sunset reflected in the blood, tears and dust.

This is a very famous tune, and many listeners heard it at once. It was “Croatian Rhapsody”. Listeners who liked this tune almost jumped for joy, and then saw Lu Yan who was also on the stage. A little puzzled, isn’t this a piano piece, and it’s not a concerto, what are you doing on the violin? Is there an adaptation?

Sure enough, after the first chapter, the bright violin sound was added, and the two instruments complemented each other, with the piano as the main and the violin as the supplement, but it was equally exciting, and even had a different charm than the piano solo. Those who know how to do it can’t help but exclaim that it can be adapted like this, but once you accept this setting, it feels really good. What I don’t understand is that it feels good, good, really good.

At the end of the song, the two performers bowed again and walked down the stage gracefully. Lu Yan still respectfully invited the seniors to go first.

The unsatisfied audience shouted “Encore” again, but this time no one came on stage. It was not until all the lights in the theater were turned on that the audience finally believed that this time it was really over, and they could only hold on to it. Feeling both regret and satisfaction, they left the venue in turn.

The author has something to say: I have done all the research in the past few days, and I am so tired.

Regarding the specific content of the concert, it is all the result of Du Niang’s brain supplementation. If there are any unreasonable things, please forgive me. I have tried my best. Su enough cool enough handsome enough. It should be easy to see the specific descriptions of the music in some of the paragraphs. The particularly professional sentences are all from Du Niang. Because the number of words is relatively small, it should not be enough to plagiarize, but if someone thinks it is inappropriate It can also be pointed out and I will delete it.

As for the reaction of the fans, it was a bit intense, but thinking about the World Expo event that year, it was actually a small case. I hope everyone will like it.
