Chapter 436 The collision between geniuses!
"Okay, thank you for your wonderful singing to us. Let's enjoy the sketch..." With the tide of applause, Zhou Tao walked to the stage and sent the two singers off the stage. At the same time, she also had a lot of emotion in her heart. The infectiousness of this passage of "Love is Me" just now is so strong. Even if she had heard this song many times during the rehearsal, she still felt shocking when she heard it on the scene.
"What will the audience react to those who hear it for the first time?" Zhou Tao could have guessed it as he looked at the applause of the audience below.
"Phoenix Legend, this other Dao Lang, I heard that they are all artists from the company called Legend Entertainment. This company is really amazing." Zhou Tao, who walked off the stage after reporting the show, thought curiously.
"Let's go and prepare, we guys are almost here." Liu Yufan said with a smile as he looked at the sketch on the stage.
"Yeah, the cooperation is pleasant!" Lang Lang said with a smile, then stretched out his hand at Liu Yufan.
"Happy cooperation!" Liu Yufan said with a smile, then he held Lang Lang's hands tightly together.
These two most dazzling stars in the piano world are finally going to have a wonderful collision on this largest Chinese stage!
On the radio, the actors were already reminded to wait. After this sketch, there were two more programs, which were their piano ensemble "Defend the Yellow River".
When the two walked out of the lounge, they happened to meet Daolang and Yun Duo who were walking towards each other. They were also excited and chatted with Liu Yufan for a few words. They knew that he would be on the show later, so they all went to the actors' seat to wait.
"Yufan, this is my first time on the Spring Festival Gala. Where is the one?" Standing in the actor's special passage, Lang Lang was bored and chatted with Liu Yufan.
"Haha. Just like Ji, but Ji is a person who has been on the international competition stage. There should be no problem with the Spring Festival Gala scene." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"It's hard to say, it feels different. I think I'm more calm than me. I'm worthy of being the chairman, and my momentum is different." Lang Lang quipped.
"Haha, don't laugh at me. By the way, what are your plans after graduation?" Liu Yufan asked with interest.
"I haven't made a clear plan yet. There are several orchestras in the United States. I have a preliminary intention, but I can see it again when I get it." Lang Lang said with a smile.
"Are you considering returning to China to develop?" Liu Yufan continued to ask.
"Yes, this guy, can't he be thinking about me." Lang Lang immediately thought of something when he heard Liu Yufan's two questions.
"Hehe. Let me make the point. To be honest, the domestic market is definitely promising. I want to come back. Why not consider our company?" Liu Yufan said casually with a smile.
"Well, let's talk about it then. To be honest, the domestic market is now in serious music, and there is really no market. I'd better wait until it's mature before watching it." Lang Lang said the truth.
"What I said is true. There is indeed no market for pianos in China now, but the market can also be made by people. Look at Richard, aren't they promoting popular pianos to the whole world now?" Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Haha, this guy, I don't want to play these things like him. I have worked hard in the academy for so many years and turned around to play these tricks. I am not afraid of making Teacher Ji angry." Lang Lang said angrily and amused.
Richard Clayderman, in the eyes of many ordinary piano enthusiasts, is definitely a master-level player. Many of his music are widely circulated, such as "Dedicated to Alice", "Wedding in Dreams", "Adelina by the Water", "Whispering in Autumn", etc., but this is only limited to the perspective of the general public. From a professional perspective, these music are too simple. Not to mention pianist-level players like Lang Lang and Liu Yufan, even those who have passed the sixth and seventh level amateurs can easily play these songs. Let these pianists who have been studying hard for more than ten years turn back and play these things. Not to mention their mentors will be angry, even they themselves cannot pass their own level. If they just want to play this, why do they have to do those useless hard work?
"Haha, it's not necessarily just about playing these things. In fact, classics are good, but from the perspective of promotion, it's not impossible to make some innovations appropriately. Do you know Valodos?" Liu Yufan asked with a smile.
"I know, American pianist, the adaptation king, I have heard of him modifying Türkiye." Lang Lang said with a smile.
"How do you think?" Liu Yufan asked with a smile. Valodos is a freak. He was born in a regular music school, but he didn't play classical well. He used the adaptation of classical pianos to make a good song "Turkish March" by Mozart. It turned out to be beyond recognition by him, but the difficulty of playing and viewing increased by several levels, which caused a storm in the piano world.
"It's not so good. My teacher was so angry that he scolded people." Lang Lang smiled.
"Haha, no wonder, Mr. Ji is a classical master. It would be strange if he doesn't get angry when he hears someone changing Mozart's songs like this. But I think this is a revelation. I think music is for everyone to listen to, and what's the point of music from Ji? I'm not saying that I have to change the song to Valodos, but what's wrong with making some changes based on the trend of popularity?" Liu Yufan said.
"Haha, this idea of Ji is too advanced. I guess if I hear it by those old antiques, I will definitely scold Ji. By the way, have you said these words, Teacher Ling Yuan and Teacher Shi Shucheng?" Lang Lang asked with a smile.
"I haven't told them yet, I don't want to scold you. After all, I'm the same as a gang now and am still in school. But I don't think that we are all young people, so I have to be bolder in my ideas." Liu Yufan looked at Lang Lang and said.
"Oh, I'm not as bold as I'm so bold. Let's talk about classics first. When one day I'll become famous, maybe I can really make some changes. I wish you success!" Lang Lang said, and once again extended his hand to Liu Yufan.
"Well, I will work hard, come on!" Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Next, I'll invite young pianist Lang Lang and Liu Yufan to bring us a double piano ensemble "Defend the Yellow River"!" With Zhu Jun's report, a huge symphony sound instantly sounded on the stage. At the same time, two pianos slowly rose from the center of the stage. Lang Lang and Liu Yufan were already sitting in front of their respective pianos and preparing.
This is the first time that the Spring Festival Gala has used a large lifting stage. This way of appearance naturally attracted the attention of the audience.
Compared with the singing and dancing programs, this double-piano "Defend the Yellow River" is naturally more professional. In front of the TV, those audiences who are engaged in piano performance or piano education immediately attracted a lot of attention from the program.
"Defending the Yellow River" is the fourth movement of the piano concerto "Yellow River" and is also the most well-known movement. Over the years, many pianists have played this song. It can be said that this song is a song that is more widely circulated than Richard Clayderman's popular piano music. However, because it is too professional and difficult to play, many piano enthusiasts just like to listen, but are not able to play.
Playing such a song requires extremely high artistic expression. You should know that the more famous the song, the more difficult it is to play, because people are too familiar with it, and there are many famous pearls and jades in front of it. It is naturally not easy to play it well.
Zhou Guangren, Shi Shucheng, Ling Yuan and other piano masters from the Central Conservatory of Music were also sitting in front of the TVs at their own homes, watching the passionate collision of these two proud disciples on the stage.
At this moment, Grafman, a famous pianist, educator, and dean of Curtis Conservatory of Music, was also holding a cup of steaming coffee and watching the show with great interest. Foreigners are just in the Spring Festival, but knowing that their students will perform on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Grafman still stood in front of the TV and waited to watch his performance.
In Moscow, far away in Russia, teachers from Naumov and others in the Chaiyuan were also paying attention to the performance.
Dazhai Village, Liu Yufan's home. The moment he heard the host report the show, the whole family immediately became excited and stared at the TV screen without blinking. Even the elderly grandfather stopped rubbing the walnuts in his hands.
In a house in Xiangshan Villa in Beijing, Chen Siying held the remote control and looked at the TV screen in front of her without blinking. Her best friend Yajing deliberately reached out to shake her. As a result, the little girl didn't even blink her eyes and grabbed a pillow beside her and smashed it over.
"Term color over friend!" Ya Jing murmured angrily.
Jianghai City, Jiang Ya was huddled in her small room alone, looking at the familiar figure on the screen, with a smile on her lips, full of pride.
In the living room, Jiang Yifan and Liu Fang looked at the closed room in their daughter's room, and both sighed secretly.
The grand orchestral music suddenly stopped and a brief silence appeared in the music.
Then, Lang Lang suddenly raised his hands, opened his five fingers, and fell towards the keys with an exaggerated body movement!
"Dong~~" A heavy octave sound came out, and the huge Xinghai piano made a heavy sound. The octave of both hands created an extremely condensing momentum, gradually moving firmly towards the high pitch area!
"This kid is still so exaggerated in his performance, hey!" Looking at Lang Lang's performance, Ling Yuan shook his head and said. Lang Lang had been leading a paragraph, but Ling Yuan told him about his performance several times but he still didn't change it. Ling Yuan was a little unhappy.
However, Grafman, who was far away in the United States, had a hint of appreciation in his eyes. This kind of jumping and ostentatious playing style was exactly what he liked.
Pure American style.
