Next, many musicians came on stage to perform, including piano, symphony, and violin, but the most popular music was piano music, because this concert was mainly a piano concert.
It's a pity that there are few songs that can make Wang Xuan feel fresh and new.
An hour and a half passed.
This hour and a half was really torturous for Wang Xuan. He couldn't leave early or sit here. He regretted coming to this concert.
so boring.
This concert is so boring. Wang Xuan felt drowsy after hearing this, probably due to jet lag. .
I haven’t gotten used to the jet lag yet.
Anyway, he was very sleepy, but falling asleep during a concert was a very rude move. Wang Xuan had no choice but to say hello to Richardson and walk to the bathroom.
He decided to go to the bathroom to wash his face and sober up.
Wang Xuan went to the bathroom, washed his face, and finally woke up a lot. He was about to go back to the concert. At this moment, there was an unusual noise in the bathroom, and then Wang Xuan saw a person coming out of the bathroom. He walked out, probably around 27 or 28, wearing a tuxedo, looking a little pale, stumbling, and looking exhausted.
Wang Xuan didn't want to take care of it at first, but he unexpectedly discovered that this man had yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair, so he said in Mandarin: "Brother, are you okay?"
Wang Xuan's plan is that if this person can understand Chinese, then there is a high probability that this person is Chinese. In a foreign country, Wang Xuan could not remain indifferent when seeing Chinese people like this. If they were in need, he would do his best to help.
But if the other party doesn't understand Chinese, forget it. Wang Xuan has no business meddling in other people's affairs. What if he gets into trouble?
The man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked in pure Chinese: "Are you a fellow from China?"
"Yes. I'm from Xiangjiang." Wang Xuan said.
"I belong to Jianning," the man said.
"Oh, you are still a double fellow. By the way, fellow, are you okay? Look at you..."
"It's okay. It's my first time here in Dengcheng. I'm not used to it. I ate something bad and had diarrhea all morning. I'm just exhausted. But you came just in time. I was going to perform on stage later, but now I feel weak all over and I'm still having a stomachache. , I guess I have to pull it off, it seems that it is impossible to go on stage, can you help me go backstage and tell the organizer so that they can prepare early." The man said.
"Okay." It was just a message, not something difficult to do, so Wang Xuan agreed.
"Thank you. I am a reliable fellow at critical moments." The man thanked him, "But time is a bit tight. I will be on stage in about 5 minutes. Can you please go over and say something for me now?"
"No problem, but if you're like this, I suggest you go to the hospital for a checkup."
"That's what I meant. I won't make fun of my body." The man said, "By the way, my name is Lu Zitao, what's your name?"
"Wang Xuan."
"Wang Xuan..." Lu Zitao always felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, "I won't say it anymore, please help me go over and tell the organizer. Also, this is the piece I plan to perform, please don't bother me. Call the organizer for me and say sorry to the organizer for me." Lu Zitao took out a piece of music sheet from his body and handed it to Wang Xuan.
"Okay." Time was a bit tight, so Wang Xuan said nothing more and told the fellow to take care of himself, then left the bathroom and went to the backstage of the concert.
While Wang Xuan was going to the bathroom, Bolig had already performed on the stage, playing the song "Sky". After he finished playing, warm applause rang out again.
The host came on stage: "Thank you Mr. Bollig for your wonderful performance. Mr. Bollig is indeed a piano genius. This song "Sky" is unconstrained, full of fantasy and creativity. It is really a rare masterpiece.
The next person who is about to appear is also a real musical genius. He is from China. His parents are both Chinese pianists. He showed unparalleled piano talent at the age of 5 and later studied at the Curtis Institute of Music in Eagle Country. , won the Tchaikovsky Gold Medal and the Chopin Bronze Medal at the age of 20. I believe everyone knows who is about to appear, right?
Yes, that’s right, it’s Mr. Lu Zitao!
Sometimes, I am jealous of why God is so unfair and concentrates so many talents on one person.
envy? Yes, I am jealous! What few people know is that Mr. Lu Zitao is not only a talented pianist, but also a genius in piano composition. The following piano piece is original by Mr. Lu Zitao and is a piece that I have been waiting for for a long time.
Please invite Lu Zitao! "
As soon as he finished speaking, many people in the entire scene were shouting Lu Zitao's name.
Then there was no reaction at all, no one came on stage.
Naturally, no one came on stage, and Lu Zitao was still squatting on the toilet.
Wang Xuan was stunned when he heard Lu Zitao's name. Didn't he just say he would appear in 5 minutes? It hasn't even been three minutes since this meeting, so why are you announcing your entrance? Now he hurried to the backstage of the concert.
On the other side, after the organizer saw that no one was on stage, they realized that Lu Zitao was not there at all, and they couldn't help but panic. The person in charge of the concert organizer was so anxious that he came directly to the backstage door.
At this moment, Wang Xuan came over. The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. Although he was the person in charge of the concert organizer, he did not know Lu Zitao. He only knew that Lu Zitao was Chinese, about 20 years old.
Unlike Westerners in Europe and the United States, Chinese people are naturally young, and there is really not much difference between those in their 20s and those in their 20s. So the middle-aged man thought Wang Xuan was Lu Zitao. In addition, Wang Xuan said something at this time that made it easier for him to misunderstand.
"Hello, Lu Zitao..." These were Wang Xuan's exact words.
He thought that the middle-aged man was a staff member of the concert. His original intention was to explain Lu Zitao's current situation clearly to the staff member and ask him to go to the branch to replace the person in charge of the concert, but he only said half of the words. He was interrupted by the middle-aged man with blond hair in front of him.
The middle-aged man mistakenly thought that Wang Xuan meant to introduce himself, so he interrupted Wang Xuan and said, "Are you Lu Zitao? Why are you here? Don't you have any sense of time?"
Wang Xuan was amused when he heard this. When it comes to the concept of time, Chinese people are the most punctual, while foreigners have the least sense of time, okay? This foreigner has the nerve to complain.
"no..."
"What's wrong? Not only are you late, but you're not wearing a tuxedo yet..." The middle-aged man wanted to scold him, but at this moment, the host called Lu Zitao to come on stage again, and the middle-aged man's expression changed.
"Forget it, I originally wanted you to change into a tuxedo, but it's too late. You should come on stage quickly." The middle-aged man said, pushing Wang Xuan onto the stage.
Wang Xuan wanted to explain several times, but he was never given a chance to explain.
Then Wang Xuan appeared.
Then thunderous applause broke out.
Then Wang Xuan was speechless.
The moment he sat in front of the piano, Wang Xuan was confused.
what to do? Play? But he didn't even know what Lu Zitao was going to play.
In fact, it wasn't just Wang Xuan who was confused. Many people at the scene were also confused after seeing Wang Xuan's appearance clearly.
Those in the audience who had never seen Lu Zitao were okay. Those in the audience who had seen Lu Zitao, especially the musicians who knew him, all had their eyes widened.
"Who is this? Didn't you ask Lu Zitao to come up and perform? Why is it that a completely new person is on stage?"
"I don't know." Many people looked at each other, really confused.
Perhaps the only ones who knew who Wang Xuan was at this scene were Li Tao and Richardson, and of course, Taro Yamamoto, who had some interactions with Wang Xuan not long ago, must be added.
But several people were also confused.
Li Tao's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "I'm going! Didn't Brother Xuan say he was going to the bathroom? Why did he go on stage to perform? What's going on? What's going on here?"
"Hiss!" Li Tao seemed to have thought of something and took a breath: "Don't tell me that Brother Xuan has another identity abroad, the piano genius Lu Zitao?"
"No, I know Mr. Lu Zitao, and he is completely different from Mr. Wang Xuan." Richardson said.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Lu Zitao is a piano genius. He won the International Piano Award at the age of 20. How can Wang Xuan compare with Lu Zitao? Wang Xuan is just Lu Zitao. Are you thinking too much?" Taro Yamamoto mocked at the side.
"Wang Xuan can't compete with Lu Zitao? Are you afraid that you don't know that our teacher Wang Xuan is only 22 years old this year and is already one of the top composers in China? He was shortlisted for the Global Music Award and won the theme song of "World of Warcraft". Three theme songs were selected as the theme songs for the 70th anniversary of the National Day of our country. Which of these achievements is worse than Lu Zitao in your mouth?"
"..."
"..."
Taro Yamamoto was shocked and shocked by Wang Xuan's youth and achievements.
He is a very famous top musician in the island country. The problem is that he is already in his fifties this year. Although he was also shortlisted for the Global Music Awards this year, the fact that a man in his 50s has to compete with a man in his 20s represents his failure.
In addition, his other achievements in the music industry are not as high as Wang Xuan's. Although many of his songs are good, none of them can beat "The Dawn". Can he not be hit?
Not only was he hit, but Richardson was also hit.
"So Mr. Wang Xuan is only 22 years old this year?" Richardson asked incredulously.
"It's absolutely true. I just celebrated my 22nd birthday three months ago."
"..."
"So what? We are talking about piano now. In the piano world, can Wang Xuan compare with the piano genius Lu Zitao?" Taro Yamamoto said harshly, somewhat unconvinced.
"Why not? Our brother Xuan is an all-around top composer. He is proficient in eighteen kinds of musical instruments. The piano will never be worse than the Lu Zitao you mentioned."
"Really? Let's wait and see. Isn't Wang Xuan on stage anyway? I want to see how good his piano skills are, so as not to make people laugh out loud!" Taro Yamamoto snorted coldly.
"I won't bother you anymore." Li Tao chuckled and was very confident in Wang Xuan. He had never seen Wang Xuan fail.
In Li Tao's view, since Wang Xuan dares to go on stage, it means that Wang Xuan's piano skills are definitely not far behind. It's just that Li Tao didn't know that Wang Xuan came to power by accident, otherwise he would probably have to worry about Wang Xuan.
Another confused person was the host. He was confused when he saw Wang Xuan on stage, but by the time he reacted, Wang Xuan was already sitting in front of the piano.
broken!
There must be something wrong somewhere.
The host had met Lu Zitao, so he knew that the person sitting in front of the piano at this moment was definitely not Lu Zitao. However, he thought that Wang Xuan was brought to the rescue by the organizer, so he didn't reveal it yet. Instead, he looked at Wang Xuan with a look of anticipation.
In fact, the host is in a very uneasy mood right now.
Lu Zitao's piano skills are very high, but he has never even met the person in front of him, and he doesn't know what his piano skills are. The host could only pray in his heart that the person in front of him could be half as good at piano as Lu Zitao, otherwise something bad would happen, because he almost praised Lu Zitao to the sky just now.
On the other side, Wang Xuan thought for a while and wanted to stand up and explain the situation. But at this moment, the famous musician Bazemore's "Angel Movement" sounded on the stage, and then the lights on the stage shone on Wang Xuan almost at the same time.
At this moment, Wang Xuan seemed to glow, giving people the illusion of being bathed in holy light. The noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and many people looked at Wang Xuan expectantly, as if they were looking at a son of God.
Looking at the expectant eyes of many audience members, Wang Xuan was really embarrassed to tell these people that I was not Lu Zitao. Lu Zitao had diarrhea and the performance was cancelled. These people will definitely be disappointed.
That’s all, isn’t it just playing the piano? It's not like he can't.
Just what to play?
Wang Xuan was in trouble.
Wait, didn't Lu Zitao give him a sheet of music when he came here? Wang Xuan remembered it and quickly took out the score from his pocket. When he opened it, he found that the score was broken and the writing was blurred in many places.
"What a rip-off." This score must have been broken when Lu Zitao gave it to him, because Wang Xuan never touched it after getting it.
Wang Xuan carefully looked at the music score Lu Zitao gave him, and he could vaguely recognize the word "wedding" in the title of the song...
Wedding?
Otherwise, just that one.
Just do what you say. Wang Xuan wants to do things cleanly and doesn't like to be sloppy. He adjusted his sitting posture, and for a moment, in the eyes of everyone present, Wang Xuan seemed to be a different person. It seems that he has transformed from an ordinary person into a piano prince, elegant and gentleman, with charming light all over his body. His hands were so slender and slender, as if they were made for playing the piano.
He gently touched the piano with his slender fingers, just to test the sound, but the whole place was filled with sweet piano notes.
"What a beautiful piano!" Wang Xuan secretly praised.
In the piano world, Wang Xuan can be called a country bumpkin.
Wang Xuan has never participated in a concert. So far, all his knowledge of pianos exists at home, recording studios, and concerts, and the pianos used in these types of pianos are naturally incomparable to the pianos used in concerts. If the pianos used in concerts are compared to piano enthusiasts, the pianos used in recording studios and concerts can only be regarded as piano enthusiasts at best.
The material of the piano in front of him was extraordinary. It was definitely the best piano Wang Xuan had ever seen in two parallel times and spaces. No, only a piano of this level can be worthy of the release of that piece of music.
Wang Xuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted his condition.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the young man sitting in front of the piano under the stage lights. They know that the moment the young man opens his eyes, that is the moment the young man starts playing.
