The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars
Chapter 211: Grand Waltz in E-flat Major
After the host gave a brief introduction to James, James took the stage.
It's not that the host didn't want to introduce more about James, but there is very little information about him. However, the audience and the Chinese people who watched the live broadcast did not dare to underestimate this pianist named James. You know, he debuted in Hoff, so he must be better than Hoff. The big names usually appear at the end.
Especially Midea, the hometown of piano. Children there have been playing piano since childhood, and piano is like flowing in their blood.
Now that we have lost two games in a row, the importance of the third game is self-evident.
Xiaoyue looked at James on the stage. She didn't know why she was a little excited, the kind of excitement that comes from meeting an opponent.
This excitement made Xiaoyue's peach blossom eyes become unusually bright. She stared at the stage without blinking, waiting for James to perform.
James played a piano piece called "Serenade" in a gorgeous court style. The arranger of the piano piece was James. He had spent decades in the court to create the piano piece. Although it had been played many times in the Royal Palace in Meade and was deeply loved by the royal family, this was the first time it was played in public.
Princess Lillian highly praised this "Serenade" and believed it to be the best piano piece in Midi-Germany.
When James started playing, the beautiful, gentle and lingering notes were like a big net. People felt that the melody of this piano piece was beautiful, lingering, gentle and melodious. It seemed to carry a heavy sorrow, and seemed to be telling a story affectionately, making people intoxicated and fascinated.
The more Xiaoyue listened, the more she felt that James was indeed a master. As for his "Serenade", there is no other existing piano piece of this style that can compare to it, unless it is that one..., which can break the atmosphere of James' piano piece.
Xiaoyue hasn't played it for a long time. It is actually a highly skilled, gorgeous, brilliant and passionate concert waltz. One does not even need to reach a very high level of playing skills to play the piano version. The melody is smooth, the rhythm is brisk, and it is full of life and vitality. It is exactly the opposite of James, but it is even more pleasing.
Xiaoyue told the host what piece she was going to play next, "Grande Waltz in E-flat major", and then sat in her seat waiting to go on stage.
The Chinese audiences watching the live broadcast were excited. They were not listening to James' piano music live, so they were not affected much. But when they saw Xiaoyue was about to go on stage, how could they not be excited?
To put it bluntly, many people come to watch her perform, and they don't understand the piano music, but as long as it is Yue Shen's piano music, it never disappoints people. They just want to see Yue Shen slap others in the face, especially hostile foreigners.
Princess Lillian looked at the audience's reactions and couldn't help but smile.
So what if we lost the first two games? It was just a slight win. This piano piece by James can beat all your piano pieces.
Suddenly, Lillian noticed Xiaoyue sitting in the waiting area. Her smile froze. It was her. Was she going to go on stage?
If she had to say who in China scares her the most, it would definitely be Nie Xingyue. She could ignore any pianist in China, with one exception.
She is so strong, so strong that she is like a queen standing at the top of the altar of the piano world, looking down on all pianists.
Lillian has watched the video of Nie Xingyue playing the piano countless times, which made her feel fear, admiration, and at the same time an urge to pull Nie Xingyue down from the altar. This is also half of the purpose of her visit to China this time.
Today is her second day in China. She is still thinking that if she doesn't see Nie Xingyue again today, she will ask the Chinese officials for a meeting.
Now, there is no need to waste time. She is here, attracted by James, and has to play. Princess Lillian really wants to see how Nie Xingyue will deal with it.
Finally, James finished playing, but the audience in the audience did not react for a long time, they were still immersed in the previous piano music.
Xiaoyue was the first to applaud, and then the applause became more enthusiastic.
At this time, Xiao Yue also noticed the look Princess Lillian gave her.
The look was very complicated, with provocation, uneasiness and joy. Xiaoyue knew that this princess was probably not a good person and she might be her target.
After the applause, the host came on stage to introduce Xiaoyue. This introduction was really long, and he even recounted the results of the two music exchanges in February and September. Everyone in Princess Lillian's visiting group looked very unhappy.
This is like being slapped in the face twice, and now you want to continue to expose the scar. This kind of attack on people can only be said openly by the host under the instruction of the Chinese government, right? It can be said to be very clever, this is an open conspiracy.
There is no way. Nie Xingyue's existence is the biggest irony to foreigners. In the hometown of piano, the most amazing piano music and pianists are not from your side. It's a shame that her face fell to the ground and was stepped on a few times.
Finally, the host finished the introduction that lasted for more than ten minutes. Xiaoyue would feel embarrassed if he continued.
Xiao Yue Luoluo walked towards the piano in the center of the stage with ease. The official uniform she wore actually gave her a unique and classy look.
For the first time, her name tag was clearly displayed in front of everyone: Director of the Ministry of Culture, Nie Xingyue.
The audience in the audience was clapping their hands desperately, and even the Chinese people who were watching the live broadcast were clapping their hands loudly. At this time, only applause could represent their excitement.
The lights focused on the center of the stage. In front of the piano, Xiao Yue placed both hands on the keys. At the beginning, the four-bar introduction was repeated with the same note. The rhythm was very strong, like a clarion call, with brilliant colors. Then the piano theme was presented, which was passionate and full of vitality, setting the tone for the gorgeous and light atmosphere of the whole song.
Then Xiaoyue changed the key of D flat major and used the leading semitone ascending method with large upward leaps. The melody was stretched and smooth, showing gorgeous and bright colors.
The audience just felt that the piano piece "Grande Waltz in E-flat major" bloomed instantly, as hot as a flame. It was gorgeous and bright, which made people's mood beautiful instantly.
Xiaoyue continued to play, playing in D flat major, and the use of rests made the lively melody clever and delicate. Then, it turned to G flat major, and the semitone progression in the theme was sweet and comfortable, presenting a gentle and lyrical rhythm. Finally, it repeated the E flat major at the beginning, 3/4 time, allegro, and the piano music once again showed a luxurious dance scene, and then reproduced the fragments of each theme, and finally ended in a warm and cheerful atmosphere.
The audience just felt that they were dancing along with the piano music with their whole body and soul. It was light, happy and gorgeous. This piano piece was really appealing.
Needless to say, China has won three games in a row, and everyone in Lillian's group is feeling helpless.
James listened to the whole performance and sighed, as if he had aged several years in an instant. He said to the stunned Princess Lillian, "The Grand Waltz in E-flat major is a 'waltz in which both the body and the mind dance'. This is the real palace grand waltz. Although it is just a piano performance, the gorgeous and lively atmosphere has been created. It is very infectious. Just look at the audience and you will know."
Lillian looked at the audience and saw bright smiles on their faces and enthusiastic applause. This was not fake, but was still influenced by the piano music just now.
"This is so ungraceful!" Princess Lillian could only say this sourly, unable to suppress the frustration in her heart.
Xiaoyue was very satisfied with her playing. She stood up, bowed, and prepared to leave the stage.
"Wait a minute."
At this time, Princess Lillian walked towards Xiaoyue, holding up her wrinkled silk skirt.
The audience at the scene was also confused, and so were the Chinese people watching the live broadcast. What did Princess Lillian want to do?
"Is he angry out of shame? After all, he has lost three games in a row, so he can't save face anymore, right?"
"I'm sure I can't save my reputation in piano. I just don't know if I'll try to make up for it from other places..."
It is true that three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Netizens have guessed the princess's intentions and want to see what other tricks she will come up with.
