Chapter 480: World Famous Songs for Alice
Everyone was applauding, and Cheng Yanqiu did not refuse.
Considering that McCartney and the others might need it for their performance in the afternoon, the staff brought a piano over in advance and placed it in the corner.
When two staff members helped push the piano to the middle of the stage, the live broadcast staff were also worried. This classical music is different from pop music, so it is not easy to live broadcast.
If nothing else, at least you should know the name of the music played by Teacher Cheng.
After asking around, no one in the working group knew anything about classical music.
Yu Dong noticed the movements of the live broadcast group, took the initiative to ask about the situation, and then pulled Dan Brown over and asked him to help explain.
After everything was ready, Cheng Yanqiu slowly walked up to the stage. Although she was the hostess today, she was dressed very elegantly. She wore a light gray turtleneck sweater with a black medium coat, exuding an intellectual beauty.
.
Yu Dong looked at his wife with a smile in his eyes. He often saw Cheng Yanqiu playing the piano, but he rarely saw him playing like this on stage.
After greeting the audience first, Cheng Yanqiu slowly sat down, took a gentle breath, put his fingers on the keys, and a string of notes quickly popped out.
The staff member looked at Dan Brown, who raised his eyebrows and said, "Chopin's "Winter Wind Etude", I didn't expect her to play this when she came up."
"Is there anything special?"
"It's winter now, so I thought she might want to move her fingers first. This piece is quite difficult and requires a lot of finger flexibility."
The staff nodded, so that was what he meant.
After a while, Dan Brown added: "She played the Italian pianist Pollini's version."
Dan Brown heard Cheng Yanqiu play the piano, but he didn't have a specific understanding of her level, so the song "Winter Wind Etude" she played now surprised Dan Brown.
The level is very high, which makes people feel ashamed.
Although most of the other audience members did not understand this, they could still hear that the level was very high. And what surprised them was that Cheng Yanqiu, a woman who looked so graceful, actually played a piece that sounded like a march.
The atmosphere in the entire auditorium became warm.
And this was not over yet. After the "Winter Wind Etudes" ended, Cheng Yanqiu did not delay and played another song "The Bell" by Liszt.
It is another piece of music that is very challenging for pianists. Compared with the intensity of "East Wind", "Bell" seems gorgeous and light.
After these two songs ended, the music suddenly became soothing.
Some people who know something about classical music expressed doubts because they have never heard this piece of music.
But Dan Brown happened to know it. He smiled and said to the staff: "This is a song she wrote herself, but I don't know what the name of the song is."
Yu Dong said from the side: "It's called "Jinghong"."
The staff suddenly said: "So this is "Jinghong", it sounds really good."
Employees at Deep Space Company basically know that Cheng Yanqiu wrote a song called "Jinghong" for the movie "The Pianist", but most of them have never heard of this song.
The staff happily wrote down what Yu Dong and the others said on paper. After a while, there was something to write in the live broadcast post.
…
When Cheng Yanqiu started playing "Jinghong", the news of her performance on stage had already been posted in the live broadcast thread.
[After McCartney finished playing, at the invitation of everyone, teacher Cheng Yanqiu came on stage to play piano music for everyone. What was unexpected was that she started playing "Winter Wind Etude"...]
This news made it difficult for many people to understand.
Xiaoyao’s brother: [Who is this teacher Cheng Yanqiu? Why does he have the same name as a Peking Opera master?]
Tears of Tassel: [Start with Dongfeng, I don’t know what my level is. 】
Automated writing machine: [Is there a pianist named Cheng Yanqiu in China?]
Liu Dongdong: [Oh my God, Teacher Cheng is actually on stage?]
Jin Kefan: [By the way, Liu Dongdong, you are from Jinyi, who is this teacher Cheng? 】
Liu Dongdong: [Teacher Cheng is a teacher in our music department, teaching piano and vocal music.]
Chen Mobai: [Piano and vocal music, the span is quite big, but your school teachers can all go on stage, I’m really envious.]
Liu Dongdong: [She is not just our teacher.]
Princess Yuezhi: [What else is not simple?]
Liu Dongdong: [She is also a student of the famous pianist Liu Shikun.]
Chen Mobai: [Liu Shikun’s students should have very high standards. 】
Mr. Ronald: [Can you become a teacher if you are not very good at it? 】
Liu Dongdong: [Teacher Cheng is very good. I heard that she even wrote a song for Giuseppe's movie... By the way, she did the soundtrack for the short film "The Tuner". 】
Liu Feng: [Oh, it’s her. The soundtrack for this movie is quite high-end. Which movie by Giuseppe did she write the music for? 】
Liu Dongdong: [It seems it hasn’t been released yet.]
Although Liu Dongdong didn't know, the official soon gave the answer.
[The third piece played by Teacher Cheng Yanqiu is "Jinghong". This piece is specially composed for the new movie "The Pianist on the Sea" directed by Giuseppe Tornatore. This movie has Yu Dong participating in the screenplay.
It will be released this year. According to insiders, when composing this song, Yu Dong also gave his own opinions...]
Naturally remove the carvings: [Jinghong, this name is quite nice. I am looking forward to director Giuseppe’s new work. I like his "New Paradise" very much.]
Chen Mobai: [You are talking about "Fly with Me", this movie is simply a masterpiece, I have watched it many times. 】
Mr. Ronald: [Hahaha, Yu Dong is participating in the screenwriting, I’m really looking forward to it. 】
Princess Yuezhi: [What I’m curious about is why Yu Dong gives advice when Teacher Cheng Yanqiu writes music. Does Yu Dong still understand music? 】
Liu Dongdong: [I don’t know much about whether Teacher Yu understands music, but isn’t it normal for a wife to write music and her husband to give some ideas? 】
Fatty Li Zhuzhu: [What, what, what? Wife, husband?]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Dongdong: [Yes, Teacher Cheng is the wife of Teacher Yu, a divine couple who is famous for our gold art.]
Chen Mobai: [I must see this movie!]
Jin Kefan: [Me too, this kind of husband and wife team is rare.]
Liu Jinfa: [What’s so rare, isn’t “The Tuner” written by Yu Dong and scored by teacher Cheng Yanqiu? 】
Chen Mobai: [Yes, then I’m going to watch the movie again, and I even bought the CD. 】
Shangguan Luojun: [I bought it too.]
…
Yu Dong didn't know the heated discussion among netizens. He just watched his wife playing the piano on the stage. After Cheng Yanqiu played "Jinghong", he also played several important songs used in "The Tuner".
The whole process took about twenty minutes in total. After it was over, she greeted the audience again and walked down slowly.
The applause was very warm. Many people did not expect that Yu Dong's wife was such a high-level pianist.
Giuseppe had been listening carefully to Cheng Yanqiu's performance without making a sound. After Cheng Yanqiu came off the stage, he turned sideways and looked at Spielberg next to him: "Do you know the name of the third soothing piece just now?
?”
Spielberg shook his head, "You know?"
"Of course." Giuseppe said quite proudly: "This is a song in my movie called "Jingkong"."
Rossi translated "Jinghong" into "playing love", which was decided in the summer.
Spielberg didn't take it seriously and thought it was Cheng Yanqiu who learned this piece of music through Yu Dong's relationship. "Congratulations, Giuseppe, this piece of music is very nice. It's hard to forget after listening to it."
"Do you know who wrote this song?"
"Who?" Spielberg asked.
Giuseppe pointed forward: "That's YU's wife."
Spielberg was very surprised: "She actually wrote it herself? She actually wrote a song for your movie."
"That's not all, she also participated in other scores. According to Ennio, she is a very good scorer."
After listening to Giuseppe's words, Spielberg rolled his eyes. If it is true as Giuseppe said, YU's wife's score is very good, then he can ask her to collaborate with him in the score.
There are many composers in the world, but there is only one YU wife.
…
After Cheng Yanqiu stepped down, the staff was about to push the piano aside when Bi Feiyu suddenly stood up and shouted: "Yu Dong, come on stage and play us a world famous song."
Wang Shuo, who was sitting next to him, was stunned: "This guy can also play the piano?"
Yu Hua rolled her eyes at Wang Shuo: "Nonsense, his wife is a piano master, can he?"
"Look at what you said, this piano skill was acquired under the quilt?" Wang Shuo curled his lips and asked.
Bi Feiyu smiled and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Just keep shouting."
Before Wang Shuo could follow him, Sting, who didn't know much Chinese, shouted: "Come on, come on."
Then everyone started to cheer. Yu Hua and the others just wanted to tease him, but some of them who didn't know what was going on thought that Yu Dong could really play the piano, so they started to cheer him up seriously.
Yu Dong was also thick-skinned, and when they started teasing him, he actually went up to them.
When he got to the stage, he also paid tribute to the audience in a decent manner, sat down in front of the piano with great dignity, and then raised a hand high. If nothing else, he showed off his style.
Cheng Yanqiu was in the audience, covering her eyes and not daring to look on the stage, because she knew what was about to happen.
But she still miscalculated. She should not have covered her eyes, but her ears.
Yu Dong played a song "To Alice".
He has a very good memory. Although he has not been studying for a long time, he can almost remember the buttons and the order is correct. However, he cannot listen to the things that pop up.
Sting, who had been the most enthusiastic in cheering, stared blankly at the stage, unable to believe his ears: "Is this "Für Elise"?"
Spielberg and others did not expect that YU played so poorly.
No, the key is not that YU plays poorly, the key is that he plays so poorly that he actually plays it.
Wang Shuo shook his head, "This Yu Dong really doesn't treat these guests in the hall as outsiders."
He didn't expect that with so many guests present, Yu Dong would actually get into trouble. It was really cynical. He thought Yu Dong was a serious person. Today Yu Dong was really wiping his butt with gauze, and he missed something.
Doug Liman looked at the stage without blinking, thinking to himself, "Isn't this performing a kind of performance art?"
He looked at the serious expressions of the people around him again and nodded secretly, well, that should be it. YU probably wanted to see how the people in the audience would react if he played so poorly. It seemed that everyone had fallen into YU's behavior.
It's in art.
Eh, no, I would think so, am I falling into it too?
