Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 366 New Year's Concert, Conducted with Real Drumsticks?!

"Brother Can, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Feng was stunned.

It's normal for Li Can to be popular.

But what's with this feeling of old friends getting together?

Why do they seem so familiar with Li Can?

Seeing Lin Feng's surprise, Winnie smiled, swirled her wine glass, and slowly began to speak.

"Hey, he fell into this bar after arriving in Vienna and drank there for months on end. How could he not know it well?"

"."

Lin Feng fell into deep thought.

You can tell from the attitude of Winnie and the group of regulars around her.

Winnie drank some too.

"I need to keep an eye on things at the Golden Hall, but you'll have to handle the band's concert arrangements."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement with Li Can's words.

He raised an eyebrow slightly and began to tease.

"You're really like someone speedrunning Vienna in a rush to collect CGs. First you're conducting in the Golden Hall, then you're going outside to rock out. The whole city is just like you."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Chen Gang, who had been focused on eating his snacks, looked up and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Zhao Ze adjusted his glasses and put down his phone, which was scrolling through information about the upcoming Golden Hall performance.

"Like a dog that's drunk at a bar and then goes out and pees everywhere?"

"Territory marking, territory expansion."

"Classical music is work, rock music is life. The difference is that one is retro and the other is electric."

"Fuck you uncle."

Li Can laughed and cursed, then suddenly looked up and shouted at Elhas, the owner of Dog Bar.

"Old Ace, tell them if you want to see a live rock concert?"

"FK! U! Lee, don't call me Old Ace."

Unlike the serious Dezi, at least the people in this bar are really joking around once you get to know them.

Elhas raised his middle finger and shouted, which drew laughter from the bar's customers.

"Li, you're a true genius!"

"Yes! Old Al Haas, abbreviated as Old Al Haas is fine!"

"Dog Bar has become even more fun."

Vienna is often associated with the magnificent Golden Hall, where classical music is played with the air of aristocratic gentlemen.

It's actually a complete stereotype.

In Vienna, classical music is incredibly wild.

An important occasion like a New Year's concert is definitely a formal occasion.

But throughout the year, Vienna's musical activities are not limited to classical music.

In some open-air venues, it is quite common for classical symphony orchestras to start partying with electronic music and rock music in front of a large audience.

Just before Li Can arrived in Vienna, Vienna had just hosted a performance featuring a collaboration between death metal and symphony orchestra.

Food, customs, music.

It's not uncommon to see audience members in the audience holding whiskey and Viennese sausages and having a blast.

When Li Can announced his idea to hold a rock concert, his old acquaintances not only didn't find it strange, but even tried to bring some things from their own homes in hopes of getting a front-row seat.

Time passes slowly.

Night had fallen in Vienna.

They returned to the hotel on a snowy night and settled in to rest.

It was as quiet as a winter night.

Just like a heart burning hot in winter, the global wave of enthusiasm for this year's Vienna New Year's Concert is as fiery as molten lava.

[Focusing on January 1, 2018, Xia Guoren (a famous Chinese musician) opened the door to a New Year's concert for the first time!]

[To celebrate Li Can conducting the New Year's Concert, Andrew performed "Ode to Joy" in Berlin]

In an interview, Henry stated that he was looking forward to Lee Chan's performance and even stopped playing video games for it.

Pianists including Xie Lang sent congratulatory messages.

It's equally popular online both domestically and internationally.

If I had to describe it...

That's what they call "decorating with lanterns and colorful ribbons."

To be able to grab such a significant amount of attention and buzz during the New Year's Eve gala is beyond the imagination of many in the entertainment industry.

The multiple identities reflect the user's traffic.

This classical event seems to be more than just a classical event.

In the minds of many Chinese netizens, this is a landmark event.

Those who don't understand classical music might not be particularly fond of Li Can.

But this is the first time a conductor from the Xia Kingdom has taken the baton, so even if they don't understand it or don't like it, they still have to come and take a look to see what's going on.

at this time.

The broadcasting agreement has been reached.

CCTV will broadcast the concert live as always, and several cinemas across the country will also open their theaters today to broadcast the concert live.

This is especially true for internet platforms.

Broadcasting inevitably involves some publicity, and the buzz generated by the publicity across various domestic platforms gave the foreigners in the countryside a small sense of awe.

After witnessing the immense attention garnered by the concert, the Austrian side couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, declaring that the Xia Kingdom market was simply a vast treasure trove waiting to be explored.

While Li Can was sleeping soundly, CCTV was extremely busy.

Everyone mobilized.

Whether it's testing channels, signals, or the entire equipment, ensuring smooth transitions, repeatedly checking the video clips and intermissions, the names of music segments, subtitles, and most importantly...
Broadcast commentary!

"Get ready quickly! As the concert commentator during the broadcast, you absolutely cannot make any mistakes. Audiences across the country need you. Get yourself in the right state of mind and take another look at the information about these works."

"Ok!"

The boss emphasized it very seriously, and CCTV host Sun Fei earnestly agreed.

Classical music has a high barrier to entry for appreciation, the most crucial point being a lack of understanding of the work's information.

Everyone has an experience of beauty, but often we just don't understand what the work is trying to tell us.

Once audiences unfamiliar with classical music are given some concrete information and the pieces are introduced, the barrier to appreciation will be lowered considerably.

With so many curious viewers drawn by Li Can, if the commentary could provide some information about the work during the brief intervals before and after the performance and during intermission, it could pique the interest of many new audience members.

Sun Fei has a heavy task.

Achieving a good presentation requires more than one person. Even if the host has a script, they must understand it and double-check it to avoid errors.

When Sun Fei finished a full day of practice and was preparing to go to sleep, his mind was still filled with the serious task at hand.

Even you yourself might not be able to handle live commentary.

After all, this is Li Can; who knows what he...
There are still three days until the performance.

Having relaxed enough, Li Can should head to the Golden Hall to make his final preparations.

"Wuhu, wake up early and embrace the sun!"

Li Can woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy.

He patted Winnie's cheek lightly and stood up.

"I'm leaving now."

"Well, I also need to arrange some work for the concert."

Winnie yawned and quickly packed her clothes.

After washing up, I got dressed.

A triumphant Li Can walked out of the Empire Hotel hand in hand with Winnie.

At this moment, Lin Feng and his group were already outside the hotel, waiting to arrange the concert and other related matters together.

"From this day forward, this place will be called Mister Lee's Vienna!"

"Good, good, the new Emperor of Austria has ascended the throne."

Lin Feng clapped.

The conversation between the two brought back the familiar feel of the DP band for the others.

"When I ascend the throne as Emperor Ao, I will make you my son."

"When will Old Deng sign the inheritance agreement?" "I'm off, I'm off."

Li Can waved and walked into the Golden Hall.

After repairs.

The band is in excellent form.

A simple run-through of the piece reveals that subtle nuances in musical expression are already ingrained in the musician's DNA.

Under Li Can's leadership, and with the support of domestic experts and scholars.

This performance truly has the flavor of the Xia Kingdom.

The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's expression and interpretation of Eastern aesthetics is so impressive that even the staff at the Golden Hall find it incredible.

All of this is due to the conductor, who is the absolute soul of the entire performance.

It seems like there's a performance in a couple of days.

In reality, Li Can's work had already ended. His last appearance on stage was nothing more than a work report and a final review.

Li Can originally thought that he might need some recovery exercises.

However, judging from the band's current condition, there was no need for additional recovery practice, so Li Can did not continue to force it. If too much pressure was applied, it would actually be easier to change the band's condition on the eve of the performance.

The ability to control an orchestra is a conductor's most basic and essential skill.

Li Can smiled and clapped his hands lightly.

I started summarizing.

"Everyone, we've all come this far together, so I won't say much more."

The musicians were very quiet and completely relaxed.

The next step is to enjoy the performance under Li Can's guidance.

"Let's make this performance perfect."

clap clap clap!
The musicians applauded.

Over this period of time, the musicians of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra have developed a far more profound understanding of Eastern music than previously held by stereotypes.

If we were to say that Western music expresses an emotional intensity of 8, which is quite straightforward...

The emotional intensity expressed in Eastern music is 10, but it is more adept at being subtle.

The intense emotions moved even the musicians themselves multiple times, let alone the audience.

It could even be said that the musicians of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra were far more confident than Li Can.

Domestic and international.

Everyone involved is holding their breath, determined to make every aspect of this New Year's concert a success.

Cautious, serious, earnest, even with a hint of excitement and nervousness.

Except for Li Can.

The day of the official performance arrived quickly.

The Victoria New Year Concert is held during the day.

It is 11:00 AM local time in Vienna.

The prelude to the New Year's concert then began.

At 5 p.m. Beijing time, all platforms were in place.

The main story will begin at 2 PM, which is 7 PM Beijing time.

During this period, behind-the-scenes stories, rehearsal anecdotes, interviews with Li Can, introductions to local Vienna culture, and progress in bilateral cultural exchanges between the two countries during the Summer Olympics will all be on display.

Major performances often represent significant tasks and symbolic meanings.

At this moment, Sun Fei was already in position.

He is using a very standard broadcasting voice to explain to the audience.

His voice is deep and magnetic, yet it doesn't make people feel drowsy.

"Dear viewers, Happy New Year! Welcome to the 2018 Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert, broadcast globally via satellite by Austrian Broadcasting Corporation and the European Broadcasting Union!"

"This year's New Year's Concert will be conducted by the renowned conductor Li Can from Xia State."

The image shows Li Can's official photos of her outfit for this event.

The dress is shaped like a suit, but it incorporates some design elements of the Zhongshan suit. Overall, it can be matched with the Western attire at the event, yet it also has an oriental charm. The brocade pattern on the waistline is full of elements and details of oriental aesthetics.

He's really handsome.

With his tall stature, excellent proportions, and handsome looks, this male model is exactly what a male god should look like.

But viewers simply couldn't equate this man with the Lee Chan they had in mind.

Is this fucking real?

【No? Is this still Lee Chan?】

[Holy crap, he's so handsome, but why do I feel like laughing?]

The power of throwing tiles!

[Storm! Approaching!]

Sun Fei's inability to see the live chat comments actually allows him to provide better commentary.

With these comments, even a single glance would make your brain freeze.

"This year will be an important year for the comprehensive upgrading of cultural exchanges between China and Austria, and for the full-scale development of cooperation between the two sides. It will also be the first time that a Chinese conductor will stand on the podium for the New Year's Concert."

【I'm coming! 】

The exciting moment is about to arrive!

[A classical music fan of twenty years, I literally cried. Something I never dared to imagine has come true this time.]

[I'm suddenly feeling a bit sentimental. Although Chan-ge seems unreliable, he actually seems more dependable than anyone else.]

[Chan-hyung is really handsome when he gets serious!]

"Li Can, a renowned conductor and pianist from Xia Country, recently attended the bilateral exchange banquet at the White House, where he delivered a wonderful performance for both sides' bosses, and also played 'My Motherland,' a song of praise for the motherland."

"Looking back, it seems we can still hear the grand call for a community with a shared future for mankind. 'Ode to Joy' is being passionately performed by peace-loving musicians around the world, composing a beautiful vision for human society."

Sun Fei is introducing the development process since the exchange began.

The article repeatedly emphasized Li Can's contributions.

The central bank's favoritism is crystal clear.

This made the audience, who had initially been somewhat abstract and amused, much more normal and moved them to reflect.

The reason why Li Can, despite his abstract, uninspired, and often outrageous style, frequently bombards headlines and trending topics, is not disliked by most netizens is precisely because of his works and achievements.

In the eyes of many netizens, Li Can is a man of action!

The commentary on the Vienna New Year's Concert focused more on the major events and did not mention details such as games, anime, and rock music.

But audiences can still recall those excellent works.

The title "God of Sleep Aid Playlists" is well-deserved. Countless viewers have been so excited by Li Can's works that they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, their energetic rhythms waking them up completely.

The explanation is under effective control.

The performance officially begins.

Amid applause, Li Can walked forward from backstage.

With a smile, he walked to the command platform.

After shaking hands with the orchestra's second-most influential violinist, Li Can proceeded to the conductor's podium.

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

Sun Fei is about to introduce the music.

Unexpectedly, Li Can pulled out a drumstick from his lower back.

The audience was stunned for a moment, but then they saw Li Can shake his head slightly, tap the drumsticks in the air with both hands, and then put the drumsticks on the conductor's platform and replaced them with the conductor's baton.

"Hahaha!"

A soft chuckle came from the audience.

Remembering Li Can's other identity, this sudden humor made the atmosphere more relaxed and pleasant, matching the mood required for the opening performance.

The sudden bursts of artist-style humor caught everyone off guard.

Sun Fei was completely stunned.

I had no choice but to force a joke.

"Yes, I can tell that Mr. Li Can is really mischievous."

At that moment, the barrage of comments exploded.

[So naughty, hahaha!]

Good grief! So you're really conducting with drumsticks, huh?

[Li Can: I remember everything now, actually I am]

【Hahahahahaha! 】
