Chapter 217 State Banquet
The state banquet was held in the afternoon, but the staff of the State Guesthouse began to entertain it early in the morning. The surrounding security index was also extremely high, and any suspicious objects approaching would be strictly questioned.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the bus on which the musicians of the Kyoto Opera House took slowly stopped at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

At the security check channel, a group of people got out of the car one after another and accepted the security check.

After everyone passed the inspection, the musicians took the ferris wheel and were arranged into the lounge by the organizer.

It is worth mentioning that the musicians have to spend the whole day here. Fortunately, the State Guest House has all kinds of entertainment and leisure facilities, so that it will not be boring. Serious musicians will play the violin several times to consolidate the violin. practise.

Because Pei Hongyu was too nervous, she ran wildly on the treadmill in the nearby gym.

Time passes quickly.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the state banquet is about to begin.

At this time, a person in charge suddenly came to the lounge and communicated with Zhou Yijun and others.

Zhou Yijun listened for a while, then turned to Liao Yuan beside him and said, "Xiao Liao, an international friend is looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Liao Yuan put down the magazine in his hand, and asked curiously, "Who is that?"

The person in charge said to Liao Yuan with a smile: "It's a young pianist who accompanied the Japanese Prime Minister. He said he was your old friend, Mr. Liao..."

Liao Yuan asked, "What's his name?"

The person in charge glanced at the card in his hand and said, "Shunichi Minano."

Nanye Shunichi was the champion of Japan and South Korea during the One Emperor Four Emperors Piano Competition, of course Liao Yuan knew him.

After the game, the two sides also exchanged contact information, but they never got in touch. Unexpectedly, he was able to accompany the Prime Minister to Kyoto.

For a while, Nanye Shunichi's image slightly improved in Liao Yuan's mind.

In fact, not only Shunichi Minamino, but also the champions of other divisions, all caused a huge sensation in their respective countries and regions after the One Emperor and Four Emperors Contest.

Even if he has never won a championship, his influence has surpassed that of ordinary musicians.

After the competition, Junichi Minano's popularity has surpassed that of his cousin Shuichi Minano, and he has become the leader of the younger generation in the music circle.

In the six months after the competition, Junichi Minamino accepted invitations from various music colleges in the country to give lectures and exchange music ideas with many young students, and also published an autobiography for this purpose.

In his autobiography, Toshi Minano has described all his life and education in the past 30 years since he was a child.

From a pop musician in the animation circle to becoming a great pianist admired by thousands of teenagers in China, the hard work, sweat, and passing youth and emotional state during this period are all written in the autobiography, which deeply attracted Thousands of fans.

When describing the finals of the One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition, Jun Nanye described Liao Yuan as follows:

"He is handsome and picturesque. He doesn't like to smile. He always bows his head in deep thought. He wears a monotonous black suit and behaves very elegantly. He is the most gentlemanly pianist I have ever seen."

"His piano skills are superb, from "Flight of the Bumble Bee" to "Immortal Movement", he broke through the limit of human hand speed, but my favorite is the "War Rhapsody" series, after all, I am a pop music lover .”

This description also made many fans feel good about Liao Yuanping.

When Jun Nanye saw Liao Yuan, he was very excited, shook hands with Liao Yuan for a long time, and said in broken English: "Mr. Liao, I am very glad to see you again..."

Liao Yuan responded with a smile, and after reminiscing with Shunichi Minano, the latter said with fiery eyes: "Mr. Ando mentioned your deeds to the Prime Minister and thought you were the most valuable contemporary musician. Today, the Prime Minister will say your name, and I didn’t expect to see you here. It’s so exciting. I also heard that you have prepared a grand orchestra? I can’t wait!”

Zhou Yijun looked at Junichi Minano's state like a fanatical fan, and asked in a low voice to the person in charge beside him, "Is this a pianist who has become famous in Japan? Isn't he a small fan?"

The person in charge also whispered: "Of course, he is a member of the Japanese Prime Minister's delegation, and he is treated as a state guest. Besides, how can ordinary people accompany the Prime Minister to visit?"

Zhou Yijun was amazed, "Xiao Liao's overseas influence is really extraordinary."

On the other side, facing Shunichi Minano's enthusiastic inquiry, Liao Yuan also did his best to answer truthfully.

"Then I'll wait and see!"

After admiring Nanye Shunichi, he suddenly said, "Mr. Liao, next month, I will hold concerts in Japan and South Korea. Can I invite you to be my assistant guest?"

Liao Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile: "If conditions permit, of course, but..."

"Great!"

Nanye Shunichi did not let Liao Yuan continue, and said with a smile: "I will let the brokerage company send you an invitation letter, thank you, my friend, whether you have time or not, your words are enough for me."

Liao Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still nodded and said, "If the schedule allows, I will definitely not refuse."

After Nanye Shunichi left, the entire conference room was full of admiration.

The musicians of the Kyoto Opera House looked at Liao Yuan with admiration, Zhou Yijun smiled and said: "Little Liao is really popular overseas."

Zhang Qiming also said with a smile: "I think Teacher Liao can accept the other party's invitation. Music knows no borders, especially for pianists. It is very important to gain overseas popularity."

Liao Yuan waved his hands again and again, but he felt that what Zhang Qiming said was very inspiring to him.

Pure music really knows no borders, so, when preparing music albums, can copyright be exported overseas?

Thinking of this, Liao Yuan found a secluded place, called Tian Xingde who was far away in Donghai City, and raised this idea, "Do you think it is feasible?"

"Certainly."

Tian Xingde smiled and said: "In fact, a few days ago, a company in South Korea sent someone to negotiate with me about this matter, and wanted to buy the copyright of your music works, boss, but I know that you are preparing for the state banquet performance recently, so I didn’t bother you, and the other party also wanted to have a personal talk with you in this regard.”

When Liao Yuan heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, after I finish my work here, I will discuss this matter immediately when I go back."

Time passed slowly.

At four o'clock, the leaders of various countries gathered together, and the two-day business visit and exchange meeting began.

On the red carpet in the auditorium, many seats, music stands, platforms, and a brand new piano have been placed.

Soon, the musicians of the Kyoto Opera House came to sit at the front of the seats holding their instruments.

Liao Yuan also sat in front of the piano in due course.

He turned his head and glanced to the right. Countless media people were holding their cameras and blinking at him. Some photographers also pointed their cameras at Liao Yuan and gave Liao Yuan a close-up shot.

But no one dared to speak up.

In this tense atmosphere, Liao Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit of depression.

Soon, the state banquet began.

Afterwards, the audience stood up, and the musicians of the Kyoto Opera House, as instructed, began to play the national anthem.

Zhang Qiming raised his baton in his right hand.

When the melodious and passionate national anthem sounded, the reporters and waiters at the scene all stood in place, stopped all work, and everyone looked at the musicians.
