Chapter 243 China Promising
At this moment, I heard that the Kyoto Opera Troupe rehearsed in advance, and many of the performers of the Spring Festival Gala who stayed in the lounge came here because of their reputation, and appeared in the auditorium one after another.

Although "Defending the Yellow River" has been included in the textbook, but the new semester has not yet come, it has not yet been published, so the popularity is not high.
People only know some of the melodies of "Defending the Yellow River" through the Internet, but because of the uneven quality of recording equipment and playback equipment, most people may have different impressions of "Defending the Yellow River" in their ears.

Therefore, "Defending the Yellow River" did not become a hit like popular songs such as "Light Years Away".

However, the live performance of "Defend the Yellow River", when all kinds of music poured into the ears, the degree of shock was unimaginable, so that many people could not calm down for a long time.

"This is the concerto handpicked by the chief..."

Xiang Weihong murmured, "It's completely different from what I heard in the video tape..."

"If it is placed in a professional concert hall, the effect of this piece of music will be even better." Guo Qian said with a smile: "At that time, the state banquet invited the heads of state of the entire Asian region. Can you imagine? Everyone listened to this After the first song, everyone seemed to be in a daze, and there was a long silence."

Hou Yujun, director of the station, laughed and said: "I know this. After the performance, the director personally commented that "Defending the Yellow River" is the voice of our Chinese nation. I read the news at that time, and I think what the director said is very good... ...Actually, even if the chief did not hand-pick, I might urge Wei Hong to add this concerto to the list of the Spring Festival Gala, after all, the Spring Festival Gala is a program dedicated to all Chinese, and it cannot be without the voice of the Chinese nation, haha."

The music in my ears continued.

The sound of the piano is like the surging water of the Yellow River, which is continuous and makes people feel ups and downs.

Such a majestic piece of music belongs to the top even in the history of composition in the entire Chinese community.

And in the auditorium, countless entertainers are also full of impassioned expressions at this moment.

"This Liao Yuan is simply a national treasure-level pianist!"

"Those hands are extinct, sometimes gentle, sometimes swift, the ups and downs never stop, and it's always continuous, it's just making people want to die..."

"Didn't there be news before, someone evaluated the value of Liao Yuan's hands, starting with [-] million yuan!"

"At this moment, my heart is extremely complicated. Alas, it would be great if these hands were only used to play the piano..."

"..."

"???"

"Mr. Huang, can we talk properly?"

And in the edge corner of the auditorium, Hou Kangsheng in a black leather jacket was looking at the performance stage excitedly.

When "Defending the Yellow River" played the second part of "Dongfanghong", Hou Kangsheng's excited eyes were moist when he heard the fierce piano sound. The ups and downs of the sound, while playing slowly in the air.

The east is red, the sun is rising...

That music seemed to come from outer space, echoing in Hou Kangsheng's mind, inexplicably admiring him.

In fact, because of his interest, he has been exposed to various musical instruments since he was a child. Now at the age of 19, he is already a well-known electronic music producer in the industry. His understanding of music is also outstanding among his peers.

However, due to the lack of public awareness of electronic music and the insufficient accumulation of electronic music culture in the country, this has led to the slow development of domestic original electronic music. Unlike classical instruments such as pianos and violins, they are deeply loved by the general public.

In terms of the social status of practitioners, electronic music is not as good as classical musical instruments. Even many electronic music producers in the industry have to admit this.

The reason why Hou Kangsheng suddenly became a fan of Liao Yuan is largely because of the works created by Liao Yuan, many of which can perfectly integrate electronic music, such as "Fade", such as the "War Rhapsody" series, or "Flower Dance", "Out of the Western Regions", "My-soul" and so on.

Since the One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition was held, it has not only become a prosperous world in the piano world, but also has become the hottest topic in the electronic music world in recent years. Almost all of them have been frantically adapted by electronic music lovers. Although the quality of various kinds is uneven, there are many people who participated in the adaptation, and there are always high-quality works.

For example, "Fade" adapted by Hou Kangsheng has become the number one classic adaptation in the electronic music industry. Although it has no copyright and cannot make a profit, it still caused a sensation in the electronic audio circle and scrambled to spread it.

And Hou Kangsheng also jumped from being unknown to a small celebrity, but the name of the original creator Liao Yuan, because of this adapted version of "Fade", began to pour into the ears of all electronic music producers.

There are even some younger middle school students who regard Liao Yuan as the god of electronic music in the campus circle!
Hou Kangsheng is absolutely indispensable for having such a reputation.

However, although Hou Kangsheng has made some achievements in the electronic voice industry, he is still regarded by his family as not doing his job properly.

After all, his father is the director of CCTV, and he is a big shot in the entire entertainment industry with every gesture. Therefore, compared with his father Hou Yujun, Hou Kangsheng's achievements in the electronic voice industry are simply not worth it in the eyes of ordinary people. carry.

But he loves electronic music after all...

The famous psychologist Maslow once put forward the theory of human needs hierarchy, from low to high, they are "physiological needs", "safety needs", "emotional and belonging needs", "respect needs" and "needs of respect". Self-actualization needs".

These five levels of needs are the famous "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory" in the field of psychology.

Because of their rich background, some people automatically meet their physiological needs and safety needs when they are born. When they grow up, they can easily realize their "emotional and belonging needs" because of their rich material conditions.

These three needs are just the basic needs of human beings, and they are higher "needs for respect and self-actualization".

For example, the annual salary of senior managers in some professions is several million or even tens of millions. For such a super elite class, this is already a material condition that can be easily obtained.

Therefore, no matter how much money, at this level, it will probably become a number, and the temptation will be significantly reduced. The annual salary of 300 million and 500 million cannot easily shake the decision of a super elite.

Therefore, for many companies, if they want to recruit such super elites, the normal salary incentives can no longer satisfy them, so the incentives of shares and rights were born.

These are the so-called higher needs—needs of esteem and self-actualization.

These needs, like a ladder, from low to high, ascending step by step.

But this order is not completely fixed, it can be changed, and there are various exceptions.

For example, the current Hou Kangsheng, because of his family’s rich material conditions, after satisfying the three lowest needs, he began to pursue higher-level psychological needs-the needs of respect and self-realization.

He wants to realize his ambition in the electronic voice circle, and is eager to gain people's respect through the emerging thing of electronic music.

Then, how to realize it has become the problem that Hou Kangsheng most wants to solve at present.

When he gained the respect of the entire electric voice circle by adapting "Fade", he finally knew how to go his own way.

So, after learning that Liao Yuan participated in this year's Spring Festival Gala, Hou Kangsheng ran to the CCTV building every three days. After all, he is the son of the director of CCTV. He can easily pass through the security check and access control, and freely shuttle between various studios without being noticed. .

Finally, before the Spring Festival Gala, he waited until Liao Yuan.

The gift he gave Liao Yuan was a CD with various electronic music works, and all these electronic music works were adapted from Liao Yuan's works.

Hou Kangsheng earnestly hopes that his adapted works can enter Liao Yuan's eyes, and is even more eager to cooperate with Liao Yuan in various music.

It's just that Hou Kangsheng probably didn't expect that after receiving the gift, Liao Yuan didn't open it immediately.

In fact, even if it is disassembled, with Liao Yuan's knowledge and understanding, he might not appreciate Hou Kangsheng's adaptation.

So that CD is still lying quietly in the lounge, no one cares about it.

……

On the stage, the performance of the Kyoto Opera House finally came to an end.

The audience burst into warm applause, and everyone was full of praise for the rehearsal.

Liao Yuan got up, hugged Zhang Qiming, Pei Yuhong and others with a smile, and then gave a gentleman's salute to everyone present.

"good."

After enjoying "Defending the Yellow River", Minister Guo finally left satisfied, and went along with director Hou Yujun to review other things.

At this moment, the director watched the two leaders leave to Wei Hong, then turned his head, smiled and gave an OK gesture to the stage, indicating that the rehearsal had passed, and called Liao Yuan and Zhang Qiming to come forward and replay the recording just now. Listen to them.

After all, the director is not a professional musician. Although he is in charge of the overall situation, it still needs a professional to listen carefully to see if there is any wrong sound during the performance.

In fact, because of many rehearsals in advance, the musicians of the Kyoto Opera House are already confident about the performance of this song "Defense of the Yellow River". Although Liao Yuan heard some mistakes during the performance, they were all harmless.

Therefore, facing Wei Hong's question, he nodded and approved the rehearsal recording this time.

"Just now Director Hou of our CCTV and Minister Guo of the Ministry of Culture expressed their satisfaction with your performance at the Kyoto Opera House, especially Liao Yuan. You really impress me, and you will definitely do a lot in the future."

Xiang Weihong said with a smile, she seemed to be in a very good mood.

Liao Yuan said modestly: "It's the colleagues who cooperated well."

Hearing this, Zhang Qiming patted Liao Yuan on the shoulder, and said heartily, "Don't be self-effacing. Ask the people in the group, without you, would this song "Defend the Yellow River" still be "Defend the Yellow River"?"

"President Zhang is right."

Xiang Weihong smiled and said, "Too much self-effacement makes you feel a bit shy. Is it so difficult for you to admit your excellence?"

After speaking, he remembered something, and said with concern: "Liao Yuan, I heard from other people that you are also good at acting and singing?"

Before Liao Yuan said anything, Zhang Qiming said, "Guide, you just heard about it? Do you know "Light Years Beyond"? This song was sung by Liao Yuan at the Shonan Satellite TV New Year's Eve concert. , it has been listed on Weibo hot search list for several days. Even now, this song is well-deserved number one in China. If you want me to say, you might as well arrange for Liao Yuan to brighten his voice on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to ensure the ratings The rate soared!"

Xiang Weihong's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "I just heard about it today. Although the time is very tight, it is not impossible to let Liao Yuan shine brightly. The host coordinates and squeezes out a few minutes. It is still very easy. Yes!"

Liao Yuan was taken aback by this, the Spring Festival Gala is such a grand event, can the program list be temporarily added?
"The guide is wise!"

Zhang Qiming immediately cheered up. He pushed Liao Yuan's shoulder, winked and said, "Mr. Liao, how can you thank the guide? You have to treat me to dinner tonight!"

Xiang Weihong smiled, and looked at Liao Yuan: "There is no need to treat guests. I am different from other directors. I will arrange whatever the audience likes to watch. Everything is God's will."

Liao Yuan also smiled.

The Spring Festival Gala is open to hundreds of millions of Chinese around the world. It is the highest-rated program in the world, and every second is extremely precious. Xiang Weihong can say this, and the respect for Liao Yuan is already obvious.

Of course Liao Yuan would not refuse: "It's possible, but it happened suddenly, and I didn't prepare in advance."

"Just sing "Light Years Away"!"

Zhang Qiming smiled and applauded: "This song is your famous song in the music world. The discussion is so hot now, and the audience must like it. Guide, this is "Light Years Away". Listen to it? I guarantee you like it!"

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone, tuned up "Light Years Away" from the music player, and played it for Xiang Weihong to listen to.

Xiang Weihong listened for a while, then suddenly said: "Change another one!"

Both Liao Yuan and Zhang Qiming were startled.

Xiang Weihong explained: "This year's theme is China's promise, so it is more important to spread the voice of the Chinese nation. For example, "Defending the Yellow River" is very exciting. Although "Light Years Away" is good, it has nothing to do with the theme of the program group. No, if possible, try to tell some stories about China and China in the song, what do you two think?"

Zhang Qiming was stunned, and turned to look at Liao Yuan.

Liao Yuan smiled when he heard the words: "This is easy! I will sing two songs, and the guide will choose one?"

"Hey, I like your sharpness!"

Xiang Weihong didn't say much, just took out the walkie-talkie and gave instructions.

The program unit that was about to go on stage was temporarily withdrawn immediately, and Liao Yuan stepped onto the stage again.

This scene stunned everyone except the parties involved.

People stopped what they were doing and looked towards the stage.

The two CCTV hosts on the stage also retreated to the corner after receiving the news from the director. They just looked at Liao Yuan with emotion.

It's different to have a backstage...

After a while, the stage elevator started, and the piano that had just sunk was lifted up again.

The staff immediately stepped forward to install the microphone and conduct a sound test.

Soon, everything will be ready.

The lens of the rocker camera aimed at the target quickly, and in order to meet the situation, Xiang Weihong also activated the stage art. In just a moment, the surrounding lights were annihilated, and a beam of light sprinkled on Liao Yuan's body, full of brilliance.

In front of the piano, Liao Yuan sat upright.

He brewed his emotions for a while, and a few seconds later, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he played slowly.
