When they were approaching the front of Qinfang Building, there were more and more people around, and Chen Hong took the initiative to let go of Zhou Yan's hand.
The two of them did not push towards the front of the stage, but stood in the back row of the onlookers, silently enjoying the performance on stage.
There are currently two students on the stage performing a piano and violin duet. The song is "Vanessa's Smile". The music style is very cheerful. It is played during the New Year's Eve, which is also appropriate for the occasion.
Many schools use "Vanessa's Smile" as their class ringtone, so this song is heard very frequently in China.
When the song ended, Chen Hong smiled and said to Zhou Yan, "As expected, he is a student of Yangyin, and his level is very high."
Zhou Yanze said with a smile, "It's okay, my violin level needs to be improved."
"It's not good yet, I feel pretty good already."
"Overall, it's pretty good. But there are a few places where the handling is a little off. Maybe it’s because the weather is cold and my hands are stiff. Actually..."
Before Zhou Yan could finish his words, a boy standing behind him curled his lips and said, " No, buddy, you dare to judge this level. Do you know who is playing the violin?"
Hearing someone talking about himself, Zhou Yan turned around and looked at the other person, "I...can't judge. ”
What else did the boy want to say, but he suddenly saw Zhou Yan's face clearly and was stunned.
Holy shit, it’s Teacher Zhou!
The light in the audience was average, so the boy didn't recognize Zhou Yan just now. He just felt that Zhou Yan was a bit pretentious when he said that, so he couldn't help but mocked him.
After all, the violinist on stage is Senior Sister Hong Yun, who is well-known in the orchestral department. Her violin skills are very good.
Now Zhou Yan turned around, and the boy with a stern face could naturally recognize Zhou Yan.
If someone else had said what he just said, he would have been pretending, but this was Zhou Yan, so it was much more reasonable.
The boy's face was a little red. He didn't expect that the clown turned out to be him.
"Sorry, Teacher Zhou, I didn't recognize you."
Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, but even if it's not me, others can evaluate it. We make music Yes, what is needed is to accept criticism from others with an open mind. Hong Yun’s violin playing is obviously not in good condition. If there are any problems, point them out. Only by criticizing can progress be made.”
The boy nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Teacher Zhou, I understand."
Their movements also attracted the attention of those nearby.
Others saw Zhou Yan coming and greeted him excitedly.
“Hello, Teacher Zhou.”
“Teacher Zhou is here to see the performance too.”
“Long time no see, Teacher Zhou.”
"Wow, it's Teacher Zhou."
......
Zhou Yan is very popular in Yangyin.
Over the years, many senior brothers and sisters who have gone out of the school have become famous, but they are all legends that can be heard but cannot be touched. Only Zhou Yan, not only the legendary senior brother, can also be seen often.
Zhou Yan is basically as famous as Tan Dun in Yangyin. They are both rare geniuses in the eyes of teachers. However, most students at Yangyin have never seen Tan Dun, and many people don’t even know about it. What does Tan Dun look like?
Moreover, Zhou Yan is a teacher at the school. When the students saw him, they naturally took the initiative to say hello.
Facing the enthusiasm of the students, Zhou Yan also nodded very politely in return.
The movement here also attracted the attention of the stage organizer. After a while, Liu Pengfei, the vice chairman of the student union, came over.
"Teacher Zhou, you are here too."
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I was just walking around the school when I saw a performance here, so I came to join in the fun and didn't bother you. Right? ”
"No, no, we are all very happy to see you. How about you give guidance to the students on the spot?"
Zhou Yan waved his hand, "Have fun when you play, and study hard when you study. , it’s party time, just concentrate on the performance. And there are many students from other schools here today, and they don’t want to listen to some of the things I said.”
“Teacher Zhou, give us a piece. You haven’t had a concert for a long time.”
A student shouted loudly in the crowd.
Others also joined in the fun.
"Yes, Teacher Zhou will do a little bit."
"Stop yelling, let the teacher perform, do you know how to respect teachers?"
"It's New Year's Eve, so happy. . ”
“Hahaha, a ticket for Teacher Zhou’s performance costs several hundred yuan.”
“That’s true.”
If he were alone, Zhou Yan wouldn't mind going up and playing with them. For New Year's Eve, the main thing is to do whatever you want.
He glanced at Chen Hong next to him, but Chen Hong smiled and said, "Go ahead, I still want to see it."
Hearing what Chen Hong said, Zhou Yan nodded, Tell Liu Pengfei, "I won't disturb your performance, right?"
"Don't disturb, don't disturb, we are just organizing it ourselves to have fun."
"That's okay, I'll go up and have fun too. .”
Hearing that Zhou Yan was about to take the stage, there was a burst of cheers.
Some people who were far away and didn't know what was going on were asking what happened here and why they started howling suddenly.
But they soon knew the answer.
Liu Pengfei took Zhou Yan to the stage, and then said very excitedly, "It's a great honor! Our teacher Zhou can come to the scene today..."
Has he just finished speaking, another scene appeared on the scene. There was a cheer.
The cheers now were louder than before, because everyone present saw Zhou Yan.
When the cheers subsided slightly, Liu Pengfei spoke again, "Everyone is blessed tonight. Teacher Zhou agreed to give us a live performance. You must know how much the tickets for Teacher Zhou's concert cost. It’s a hundred yuan a piece, and you can’t buy it just because you want to.”
After Liu Pengfei finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan took the microphone and said with a smile, "Thank you to the students for their enthusiasm. I am also very honored to be able to stand on this stage. I am very happy to see such an event organized. The music is absolutely It should be hanging high in the sky and out of reach. It should be like the air we live in, permeating our lives. I know that there are many students from other schools here today. Here, I represent the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Music welcomes everyone. It is your presence that makes today’s performance more meaningful and the music more meaningful.”
After a pause, Zhou Yan continued, “Many people know that I am. I majored in composition, so my musical instrument skills are very average. Performing on stage is just a way to attract others. If there are any shortcomings in my performance, please bear with me. ”
Zhou Yan was telling the truth, but many students at the scene laughed because they felt that Zhou Yan was just being modest.
Although Zhou Yan majored in composition, his musical instrument level is definitely not low.
I dare not say that about other musical instruments, but Zhou Yan’s bamboo flute is at the expert level. Many students of folk music are now practicing his "Secret Fragrance Floating" every day.
Teachers who teach bamboo flute also particularly like to teach students "Dark Fragrance Floating" because this piece has many virtuosic features and is a great test of the player's skills.
Being able to play "Secret Fragrance Floating" well can also prove your bamboo flute skills.
In addition to the bamboo flute, Zhou Yan's piano level is not low. Although he is not as good as those monsters who major in piano, he is definitely good at it as a second instrument.
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yan looked up and down the stage.
There were many students participating in the performance today, and there were dozens of types of musical instruments, including Western and folk music.
Zhou Yan did not carry a bamboo flute with him, and it was not easy to use other people's instruments, so the piano or violin that was most suitable for Zhou Yan to perform at the scene should be.
However, Zhou Yan did not choose either instrument. He saw the cello held by the girl who just came on stage, so he walked over and asked the girl, "Classmate, can you lend me the cello?"
< br>
The female classmate was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course, Teacher Zhou."
After Zhou Yan sat down, he adjusted his posture, and then said into the microphone, "I just saw the cello, and I thought A song. You may have seen a movie called "Heavenly Reply". This movie was my first independent score. It is always impressive. The score in the movie is basically the same. They were all included in my first music album "Piano Boy""
"I still remember that in order to record the demo of this piece, I found Jia Guoping, who was in the same dormitory, and the orchestra department. "
At this point, Zhou Yan didn't recall too much with them. He took a breath and said with a smile, "This song is called "Kite" "
" The cello in "Kite" is impressive. It can be said that the sad atmosphere of this piece is supported by the cello, so Zhou Yan just saw a cello on the stage and thought of this piece.
Hearing that Zhou Yan was about to play "Kite", the applause rang out again. Perhaps many people have not watched the movie "Heaven Replies", but most of the students present have listened to the album "Piano Boy". Even if they have not listened to the entire album, they have listened to some of the songs in it, such as "Kite", "Wind" is a very popular song.
Nowadays, many TV stations like to use "Kite" when broadcasting some landscape scenes, especially when there are scenes of rain.
These TV programs have brought a lot of popularity to "Kite", but unfortunately, Zhou Yan did not receive copyright fees from the TV station.
From the perspective of most TV stations, there is no need to pay for using a piece of music as background music.
It is also because these videos like to use the song "Kite", so now when many people hear "Kite", the image of rain will appear in their minds.
Zhou Yan’s cello skills are average, but the difficulty of the music is not high, so there is no problem in completing it.
The main thing is that he is the author, and he has a mysterious buff when he plays. Even a very ordinary performance will make the audience feel a different artistic conception.
The song is very sad, and it immediately made the audience feel foggy.
Some viewers who have watched "Heaven Replies" will think of the scenes in the movie when they hear this song, and their tear ducts will be on the verge of collapse.
To be honest, playing a song like "Kite" is not a good choice during New Year's Eve.
But to the audience, this doesn't matter. It is a very happy thing to see Zhou Yan play "Kite" live.
The song ended with thunderous applause.
Zhou Yan also knew that the music was not suitable for the occasion, so after the performance, he smiled and said, "Since it is New Year's Eve, let's listen to something happy. The following song is also from "Reply from Heaven", and the title is " "Wind", I hope everyone will be happy. "
"Wind" (summer) is mainly played on piano. Most people have never heard the cello solo version, so they are quite curious about this song using cello solo. What the tune will taste like.
After all, when most people see a cello, a lot of sad music comes to mind.
Zhou Yan did not use the conventional technique to play the piano, but chose to play it by plucking, treating the cello as a guitar, and really produced the lightness of "Wind".
Sure enough, as soon as "Wind" came out, the students present felt much better.
"Wind" is a commonly used song in shops on the streets. Now that the weather is cold, the frequency of playing this song in shops has dropped a lot. If it comes to summer, there may be several shops on one street playing this song. song.
This song is light and interesting, and is also very popular among TV station editors. Many TV programs related to childhood also like to use this song.
Chen Hong looked at Zhou Yan who was playing seriously on the stage, her eyes filled with stars.
Zhou Yan was simply born for the stage. As soon as he stood on the stage, he shone brightly.
In fact, Chen Hong could tell that Zhou Yan's cello skills were average, but sometimes, on stage, playing skills were secondary, and aura was more important.
It's hard to describe aura. Even if Zhou Yan is not doing anything, just standing on the stage, there seems to be an invisible aura around him, attracting the audience's attention.
There were several girls next to Chen Hong. After Zhou Yan came on the stage, these girls never stopped shouting.
"Wow, so handsome!"
"Teacher Zhou is so good-looking."
Hearing what the girls said, Chen Hong felt quite proud, because this dazzling man on the stage had just She and I were still clinging to each other.
Others can only look at this moon hanging high in the sky from a distance, but she can actually touch it.
After a while, the performance of the song "Wind" ended.
Zhou Yan hugged the cello and said with a smile, "After listening to this piece of music, are you in a much better mood?"
"Much better."
"Teacher Zhou will play another piece."
“I haven’t heard enough.”
“I still need to listen, and I still need to listen.”
The students in the audience responded enthusiastically, and some began to order music.
"Reunion, reunion, Teacher Zhou, let's play a song for reunion."
""Awakening" rushes, New Year's Eve, let's play a passionate song."
"The street where the wind lives."
"The distant journey."
"Meteor."
Someone also mentioned the latest advertising song "Meteor", which is also played in Panasonic TV commercials in China.
Because it was broadcast on CCTV and the presentation was so novel, many people have watched it.
And because of the spread of advertising, the song "Meteor" is also very popular among the audience.
However, "Meteor" currently only has a 20-second version in China, and many music fans are clamoring to hear the full version.
...
Zhou Yan has too many songs, and any one of them is very famous.
Facing the "single request session", Zhou Yan's lips tilted slightly, revealing a malicious smile, "Since it's New Year's Eve, let me bring you another happy song. But I always play It’s an old song, it’s not interesting. Why don’t I play a recently written song for everyone to listen to?”
Newly written song? !
Many students looked at Zhou Yan in disbelief. It was an unexpected surprise to see Zhou Yan perform on stage. I didn't expect there would be an even bigger surprise.
Is Zhou Yan actually going to play his new song here?
The scene was quiet for a second or two, and then burst into enthusiastic cheers.
"New song! New song!"
There are also some female students who take advantage of the chaos to play rogue.
"Teacher Zhou, I love you."
Chen Hong heard the girls shouting "I love you" nearby. Instead of getting angry, she imitated their behavior and shouted loudly, "Zhou Yan, I love you!"
She shouted Her voice was louder than those girls, and she was still jumping and shouting, which quickly attracted the attention of those girls.
The girls looked at Chen Hong with surprise.
“These girls are crazy.”
Zhou Yan on the stage also saw Chen Hong and couldn’t help but smile. Then he said with a smile, “This piece of music is also Dedicated to a friend here, I hope you all like it. Oh, by the way, this song is called "Someone Like You"
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yan adjusted his breathing and then started playing directly.
The originally excited audience was stunned after listening to the first few seconds of the melody.
Is this really a song that makes people happy?
Obviously it was so sad from the beginning!
Yes, this song is very sad from the beginning, and the tune is full of regret.
This song "Someone Like You" was adapted by Zhou Yan based on "Someone Like You" sung by Adele.
This song will also be included in "Sense and Emotion" by Zhou Yan as one of his sister Marianne's exclusive songs.
Zhou Yan’s plan was to pair this piece with cello and piano, so he played the cello today and took out this piece.
The sound of the cello gives this piece of music a different color, taking the sad mood of the piece to a new level.
The students at the scene heard it right. This piece is indeed full of regret, and it is a stubborn regret.
In fact, arranging this song for Marianne has something to do with Chen Hong. Although the two are together now, when Zhou Yan rejected Chen Hong in Yinchuan, the regret and stubbornness in Chen Hong's eyes left a deep impression on Zhou Yan.
Later Chen Hong mentioned that night in Yinchuan many times, and Zhou Yan thought of this song.
Zhou Yan played passionately on the stage, and the audience in the audience became more and more confused, because the more they listened to this piece, the more regretful it became, and the tune became more and more intense, and every note was stirring up the audience. auditory nerve and lacrimal gland.
Chen Hong just jumped up and confessed her love to Zhou Yan loudly. She was very excited and the smile on her face never stopped. Especially when she heard Zhou Yan's words "dedicated to a friend at the scene", she I was even more happy than I could control myself.
But after hearing the music, her mood suddenly dropped.
Although she didn't know why Zhou Yan wrote this song, she thought of that night in Yinchuan, and this song really fit her mood at that time. (End of this chapter)
