Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 369 A perfect ending, a huge response!

As the saying goes.

Artists are like dogs; they can always see things that normal people can't.

As a top-level pianist, Xie Lang can capture a moment with just one glance.

Different musical works have different uses.

If Li Can's "Transcendental Etudes" on the piano is about mastering technique, allowing piano professionals to engage in more intensive skill training, then its technical difficulty itself becomes a "threshold."

The violin rendition of "The Butterfly Lovers" is considered by many in the violin community to be purely about expressing emotions and musical sentiments, without much technical skill involved.

The violin world is always fiercely competitive in terms of technique, which is somewhat different from the piano. On the piano, if your technique is a little lacking, it's not a big problem, and the music can still please parents. But the violin is different.

If your technique is lacking, it's really a back-and-forth struggle, to the point that it's almost unlistenable.

This also leads to the fact that the strength of the young pros is even more exaggerated than that of the piano.

12 years old is a watershed moment.

In the current violin performance industry, if you don't start learning the violin by age 5, you're basically out of the running for a career, and if you don't break through all the technical bottlenecks before age 12, you're also basically out of the running for a career.

The entrance exam for arts students is more like a way of proving that the child is not musically inept.

Amateur level 10 is just a starting point; it's barely enough to be considered a beginner. What follows is the real abyss of skill.

The difficulty of practicing the Liang-Zhu story lies precisely at this "starting point".

In other words, anyone who seriously practices violin can learn this piece during their three to five years of training.

This is still the whole article.

If we only consider the theme of "Butterfly Transformation," the difficulty is almost zero. As long as you don't just buy a piano and try to figure it out on your own without a teacher, practicing for two years is enough to master a simplified version of the theme melody.

This is communication!
However, this piece is so difficult to express emotions that it is almost at the level of a top professional. It is very simple to play it well, but it is extremely difficult to play it with emotion.

This difference is what gives this piece its unique place.

The optimal solution for expressing emotions through Eastern musical aesthetics!

In the early stages of practice, one can fully appreciate the work. Each practice session will deepen one's understanding of Xia Dynasty art and further enrich the artistic expression of the Eastern school.

Top-grade Enlightenment Tea.

All of these factors, combined with the subject matter itself and the spirit of resistance expressed in modern performances, contribute to this.

no doubt.

"The Butterfly Lovers" will surely become a milestone in the music of the Xia Dynasty.

Do you understand Eastern aesthetics?
Go listen to "The Butterfly Lovers"!

Try watching "The Butterfly Lovers"!
In Xie Lang's view, Li Can was simply taking an already indestructible pedestal and increasing the dosage of the poison on top of welding it shut.

Only those who are also flying can know just how high some outrageous things can fly.

Seeing the reactions of netizens in the live chat, Xie Lang knew that the performance was a complete success.

The final piece is an excerpt from the fourth movement of "Ode to Joy," titled "Chorus."

The ultimate sublimation is beyond doubt.

It's absolutely impossible for it to collapse. Even if Li Can stops taking command, it won't collapse on its own, relying entirely on Wei Ai's automatic transmission.

as predicted.

As the final movement began, holy light finally shone upon the golden hall.

In the backstage control room, I finally saw Li Can conducting "Ode to Joy" in the Golden Hall. My life was complete.

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

Hardy's tears did not surprise the staff around him. They were equally moved, feeling a great weight lifted from their shoulders, as the great art finally blossomed in the Golden Hall.

After being infected, she couldn't help but get a little teary-eyed.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

After the last piece was finished, thunderous applause erupted throughout the hall.

The audience members couldn't help but stand up and applaud.

It's different from before.

In the past, there were always some encore songs, but this time, some audience members felt for some reason that an encore seemed unnecessary.

After Li Can bowed and stepped down from the stage, the applause lasted for a while before fading away.

There was no request for an encore.

It may seem like the applause was just out of politeness, but a closer look at the audience's expressions reveals something.

The excitement and fervor were still there, but for some reason, everyone forcibly suppressed the urge to continue clapping.

The scene wasn't entirely quiet; there were occasional bursts of applause that couldn't be contained, which would then trigger another wave of cheers, only to be abruptly suppressed again, as if afraid of disturbing the atmosphere.

Upon seeing this, Hardy couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

“An ordinary conductor who doesn’t request an encore isn’t strong enough, but this time it’s completely different.”

"Yes!"

The staff around him couldn't help but nod in agreement.

The encore was because the atmosphere was still very lively.

But that still only reached the level of "excellent performance".

When such a level of artistry is elevated to the extreme of humanity, even to the point of divine interpretation, like in "Ode to Joy," the request for an encore makes these seasoned music fans in the audience feel that it would disrupt this precious experience that is only seen once in a hundred performances.

Everyone feels it.

The performance should end here.

Even though I was extremely reluctant, I subconsciously wanted to maintain this perfect ending.

The desire for an encore was strong, and the urge to applaud was irrepressible, but even more so, the desire to cooperate and make the performance end perfectly.

Under intense emotional shock.

The audience could no longer contain their overwhelming emotions.

In the midst of intermittent ups and downs.

The applause finally stopped, and there was a brief moment of silence.

But eventually, he couldn't stop himself and simply let himself go.

Let's control the shipping.

They're all laid out.

In the midst of this unexpected turn of events, the even more frenzied applause almost gave one the feeling that "if they can't get an encore, they'll just clap themselves to death here."

The musicians who hadn't yet left the stage were a bit numb; they looked at each other.

Such a scenario.
I've never encountered that before!
Should we return or not?
"No return, we cannot return. It's best to end things here."

Upon hearing the staff's question, Li Can shook his head decisively.

"A comeback doesn't mean anything, and it can't happen anytime. Completeness is more important than anything else."

Li Can's reply quickly reached Hardy's ears.

Upon hearing this, Hardy nodded in agreement.

There should be no text after a perfect period.

Based on the audience's reaction, Hardy understood that the audience felt the same way, but simply couldn't contain their excitement.

Step out of the central control.

They hurried to Li Can's rest area.

Upon meeting, Hardy extended his hand in a solemn and earnest expression of gratitude.

"Mr. Li, thank you so much for your wonderful performance!"

"Pleasant to work with."

The two shook hands, and Li Can smiled slightly.

"Next, Wei Ai will face wave after wave of media interviews, so you need to prepare in advance."

Li Can and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra will be subjected to all sorts of enthusiastic interviews in the future.

But in Hardy's view, Li Can seemed to be running away. "Haha, with such a wonderful performance by Mr. Li, even interviews have become much easier."

Hardy smiled easily.

This New Year's concert features a major innovation, and the new attempts are nothing short of crazy.

Originally, everyone was prepared for a media attack and had even researched many arguments for "breaking the rules".

Prepare to face the impact.

However, Li Can's perfect performance this time gave Austria more initiative in choosing between "innovation" and "conservatism," greatly reducing the pressure from the outside world.

The controversy from the public and the media is nothing more than "Why does Li Can have such a huge amount of authority in song selection and arrangement?" and "Will the New Year's concert continue like this? Does it mean that tradition will be completely broken from now on?"

But these questions are so easy to answer now!

as predicted.

As Hardy walked out of the Golden Hall, he was surrounded by throngs of reporters.

The question raised by the first reporter was quite pointed and was of common concern to countless people both inside and outside the industry.

"This year's New Year's Concert has made many innovative moves. Does this mean that future New Year's Concerts will completely break with tradition, allowing more works from around the world to be performed, while abandoning traditional Austrian music?"

The reporter's pointed questions drew attention from countless people.

Everyone wants to hear what Hardy has to say.

In the past, Hardy really wouldn't have known how to respond to this question.

But there is no way.

He has an invincible teammate, Li Can.

“We respect tradition, but that doesn’t mean we reject innovation. We still prioritize music, and everything is built on the foundation of performance. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra respects the stage, and everything serves the performance of the work itself.”

Hardy smiled slightly and answered calmly.

"It's not that the New Year's Concert is making an exception, nor is it that the New Year's Concert is making an exception for Li Can. Rather, it's that Li Can makes the New Year's Concert have no choice but to make an exception. Mr. Li has the charm to change the Golden Hall and the power to control everything."

"Then why not change it?"

Speaking of it.

Hardy smiled slightly again.

"As for whether there will be any changes in the future, I can't guarantee it. We will still focus on tradition and will not easily change the New Year's Concert, but that doesn't mean it won't happen at all. As I said before, everything serves the performance itself."

Hardy's inner thoughts were just like his expression.

That was absolutely wonderful.

Whether or not to change it is entirely up to Chun Chun herself.

Whether music from other countries can be featured in the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Concert depends on their ability. If their ability is truly comparable to Li Can's performance, then there's no problem.

Not everyone in this world is named Li Can; such a performance is a rare and precious opportunity.

The reporters continued to ask questions.

Hardy answered with great confidence.

This is the convenience that comes with having a great teammate.

As night fell in Vienna, the journalists who had participated in or watched the Q&A session began compiling their articles to provide detailed and professional coverage of the concert.

The Times reporter, Gray, is writing an article.

Originally, an old gentleman from the British music scene called, hoping to take care of him, but at this moment, Gray felt that he didn't need to take care of him at all.

Even his British habits meant that the manuscripts he wrote never quite felt the way Gray had envisioned.

As you can see, this was a truly amazing performance. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's high level of artistry was unleashed under Li Can's baton, revealing even greater potential. The experiment at the Golden Hall and Li Can's success foreshadow that in the future, there may be conductors from all over the world and their works, although reaching that point may be quite difficult.

This might just be a matter of style.

The article was written in a very calm and collected style.

In contrast, consider the lighthouse next door.

A New York Times article reveals a distinctly American style.

It even contained a bit of hellish humor.

[Crazy! Breathtaking! A performance that has captivated the world and will become an unparalleled icon. Li Can is one of only two men to date to have successfully changed the rules of the Vienna New Year's Concert. The last person to achieve this was XTL! However, one relied on ugliness and horror, guns and violence, while the other relied on love and beauty, peace and art!]

This stands in stark contrast to Western reporting.

This was reported by the Xia Kingdom.

If the official reports were perfectly normal, then the amateur entertainers in Xia were completely letting loose, overwhelmed by the huge surprise brought by the perfect performance.

Looking around, all I saw were friends from the major ward, a whole bunch of Li Can's students and their descendants.

[Shocking! Chan-ge actually did these things at the Vienna New Year's Concert in front of the whole world!]

The accompanying photo is of Li Can smiling and raising his drumsticks at the start of a concert.

And then add a string of text to it.

[If you play it wrong, I'll smash your heads!]

This is an unconventional expression of excitement.
It's clear that netizens are in a similar high spirits to Li Can.

The performance has ended.

Li Can and his teammates returned to the Empire Hotel.

They are preparing for their upcoming concert in Vienna, hoping to make Devil Power, which has been silent for some time, great again on the European continent.

However, the various matters, both big and small, that followed the performance made Li Can exclaim that he didn't want to work anymore.

"Ah Can, these are the interviews you'll be doing soon: one from CCTV, one from CRI, one from The Washington Post, one from AFP, one from Austrian Broadcasting Corporation, and one from The Guardian."

Wang Yongchang reported on the subsequent events very seriously.

Every single word gave Li Can a headache.

You have to be careful and attentive; you can refuse, but you certainly can't ignore it.

"The King wants you to give a speech there. It's royally sponsored. Yes, you're an exchange student, so you're also an alumnus."

"Oh, Berlin is making moves too. With you shining so brightly in Vienna, Berlin can't resist. Be prepared."

"The executive of Airbus France praised you and wanted to invite you to dinner."

"The President of Valentino Europe hopes to have dinner with you."

"No, no, I'm not going!!"

"."

"Wait a minute?"

Li Can felt a chill run down his spine, but then suddenly froze.

After a moment of silence, he asked Old Wang.

"Who are you talking about? The president of Valentino Europe?"

"?"

"That's fine, when?"

"??"

Old Wang was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Upon hearing Li Can's words, the guys around him suddenly woke up from their sleepiness.

There was no time to think about the concert; even Han Jiayin became curious.

"What Valentino?"

"what happened?"

"Is Hiroko involved?"

"Winnie, does your man like this kind of thing?"
