This star is wrong

Chapter 543 The friendship between the two countries, "Baikal Lake" conquered the audience

On the second day after arriving in Moscow, Fang Xing followed the art troupe to meet Ivanov, the head of the Asian Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry who was in charge of the reception.

After the reception work, the art troupe began intense rehearsal work.

This time it is a friendship between the two countries. Not only the Huaxia Art Troupe will perform, but both art troupes will perform.

Besides.

There are also many cooperative programs between the two countries.

For example, the violin concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" that Lu Xianger and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra will collaborate on.

This program was communicated more than a month ago, and both parties have already rehearsed separately.

Now that the Huaxia Art Troupe has arrived in Moscow, they naturally have to rehearse in person to ensure that the performance is flawless.

The same is true for Fang Xing, who submitted "Lake Baikal". After discussions between the art troupe leaders of both parties, Russian female singer Ekaterina was invited to sing this song.

The third day in Moscow.

Fang Xing met the female singer Ekaterina.

They were very friendly when they met, Ekaterina said compliments in Russian, but Fang Xing only understood part of it.

Fang Xing can sing the Russian version of "Lake Baikal", but he is not particularly proficient in Russian, so he can only understand part of it.

Therefore, a translator is needed to explain.

After meeting and exchanging simple greetings, the two began to try to sing together.

Fang Xing had already assigned the lyrics in advance. Both parties are professional singers. They only need to follow the melody and rhythm and finish singing their part of the lyrics. Basically, there is no problem.

The first time I sang together, I basically got the song down.

Only a few details need to be adjusted.

After all, this is the first cooperation, and it is a cross-language cooperation, so there are still many details that are not tacit enough.

Fang Xing sat in front of the piano, and played the piano repeatedly at the problematic place: "Here, on this note, don't use accents, the ending can be lengthened."

The translator is on the side to help explain.

If it is just a straightforward translation, communication may be more troublesome.

However, Fang Xing repeated the melody several times, and the communication became more intuitive.

Ekaterina nodded after listening, made an OK gesture, and said a rare sentence in vague Chinese: "I understand."

"Then let's do it again, I'll sing while playing." Fang Xing said, starting to play the prelude.

Ekaterina began to sing along to the melody.

Fang Xing was not in a hurry, and slowly grasped the details, making improvements little by little to make the cooperation more natural and smooth.

……

After five days of rehearsals, the friendship between the two countries officially began.

The friendship between the two countries was held at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow.

The art troupes of the two countries came to the backstage of the Grand Theater to prepare early, and the reception staff divided them into two areas to facilitate the two art troupes to prepare.

"Tonight's audience are all important officials from the two countries. The performance must be stable. It doesn't matter how brilliant it is. As long as there are no mistakes, it is a success." Song Yuntao told the members of the art troupe one by one.

Most of the members of the art troupe are national team actors and singers, and they have seen many similar big scenes.

The only thing that worried Song Yuntao was the guest performers invited from the entertainment industry like Fang Xing.

Therefore, Song Yuntao inevitably exhorted a few more words.

As for Zhu Yaoxing, he did not arrange important performances and was responsible for singing harmony, so there is basically no chance of mistakes.

"Don't worry, Head Song, I will do my best." Fang Xing agreed.

"It's not about doing our best, it's about having to. The audience in the audience are important officials from the two countries, and we represent the face of the country, you know?" Song Yuntao was more nervous than the people who were about to take the stage.

"Okay, we must." Fang Xing smiled.

In fact, it was the first time for Fang Xing to face such a situation, so it was impossible to say that he was not nervous.

Moderate tension is also necessary, but too much tension is more likely to make mistakes.

Fang Xing adjusted his emotions as much as possible, and stayed in a state of low tension.

After putting on makeup, Fang Xing went to see Lu Xianger.

Lu Xianger has already changed into her evening dress, and her hair is being finalized.

call……

She let out a long breath, obviously nervous too.

Fang Xing pulled a chair, sat next to her, and said with a smile, "Are you nervous?"

"It was okay at first, but head Song came over and said a few words, and I became even more nervous." Lu Xiang'er heard that the audience in the audience were all heavyweights, and her tension soared.

"Lao Song is like this, don't worry about him. When you get on stage, close your eyes and listen to the music, just get into the mood." Fang Xing said.

"Yeah." Lu Xiang'er nodded earnestly. She did this in most of her performances.

As long as you listen to the music and enter the state, you will gradually forget the audience in the audience and enter the world of only music.

"I went to see you rehearse yesterday, and the cooperation was great." Fang Xing gave her a thumbs up, giving her a big encouragement.

Lu Xiang'er pursed her lips and smiled, "It's really rare that you can still praise others."

Fang Xing blinked his eyes: "Didn't I always praise you?"

Lu Xiang'er shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, I don't remember, I must have never praised it."

Seeing her acting coquettishly, Fang Xing knew that the tension had eased, so he started talking about other topics:
"I just asked. Among the audience tonight, there are some old artists in the music circle, including the judges of the Tchaikovsky Competition."

"Really?" A surprise expression appeared on Lu Xianger's face.

One of the purposes of coming to Moscow this time to participate in the performance of the Friendship Association between the two countries is to let the notes of "Blessing Lovers" resound in the sky of Moscow.

It would be of great help to the competition if the judges could hear the concerto in advance.

"Perform well later and prepare for several years. Let tonight be a rehearsal for the competition." Fang Xing said.

"Ok!"

Lu Xianger nodded vigorously. If it was an important party, she would be very nervous, but if it was a competition, she would not be so nervous.

……

The performance of the fraternity party started. The old artists of the national team played first and sang national songs, which made the opening stable.

The art troupes of the two countries began to perform on stage in turn, one program after another.

After the six performances, it was the turn of our own art troupe to perform.

The sequence of the program is arranged from the beginning.

"Lake Baikal" is scheduled to appear in the seventh.

Fang Xing received the notification 5 minutes early and came backstage to prepare.

Ekaterina came with her.

On the stage, the host introduced the seventh program in Russian: "The next song is called "Lake Baikal", with a beautiful melody, as quiet and beautiful as the water of Lake Baikal.

"Singer Fang Xingpan from China and Chinese singer Ekaterina collaborated on this song, let us listen to the notes of this song."

Fang Xing and Ekaterina smiled at each other, then gently supported her hand on the stage.

After standing still, the prelude to "Lake Baikal" began to echo in the Grand Theater.

In the melodious melody, Fang Xing holds the microphone, closes his eyes, and listens to the music seriously. Every cell in his body is beating with the music.

However, tonight's performance is more serious, so Fang Xing stood upright, as dignified and formal as possible.

The prelude ended, Fang Xing raised the microphone and began to sing:
"in my arms

"In your eyes
"Where the spring breeze is intoxicated

"There is green grass..."

After the first verse was sung, Ekaterina sang in Russian.

When singing, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had cooperated many times, full of tacit understanding.

The original score draft of this song used some local musical instruments from Lake Baikal, so in terms of style, it was in line with the preferences of the Russian audience.

Therefore, when this song is sung, even if the audience cannot understand the lyrics, they can still feel the tenderness and beauty from the melody.

Ekaterina's singing brought the lyrics into the singing, so that the audience in the audience could understand the meaning of the lyrics.

When it was time to sing for the second time, Fang Xing began to sing in Russian, with precise pronunciation, which made the audience show admiring expressions on their faces.

After singing the last part of the chorus, Fang Xing sang the Chinese lyrics again, fully expressing the beauty and peace of the song:

"Just one day

"You suddenly appeared
"You are clear and mysterious

"On Lake Baikal

"You are clear and mysterious

"Like the shores of Lake Baikal..."

The music followed the lyrics into the ending, and ended gently.

At the end of the song, there was a neat applause from the audience, and then it ended neatly.

For a serious and formal party like the Friendship Association between the two countries, the audience's applause will not burst into thunderous applause like concerts and variety shows.

The applause sounded neatly, and then ended quickly.

Even so, it can be heard that the song works well.

There were even Russian audiences whispering in the audience: "This singer sings very well, is she a Chinese star?"

Since Fang Xing's makeup is more fashionable than the old artists of the national team, it can indeed be seen that he looks more like a star.

It is normal for the two countries to invite celebrities to perform.

In fact, Ekaterina is a Russian pop singer.

Of course, not just any star can participate in this level of performance.

After all, if a scandal breaks out for the star invited to perform, it will become an accident.

Therefore, only artists who are actively approaching the organization are eligible to participate in this level of gala.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er were not invited to join the art troupe from the very beginning, and they had to pass the test of the military art show before they got the opportunity to participate in the friendship between the two countries.

Moreover, during this process, the backgrounds of both of them will be investigated. As long as they have bad deeds, they will definitely not be able to enter the art troupe.

After Fang Xing finished singing, he came down from the backstage together with Ekaterina.

Since Ekaterina was wearing very slender high heels, Fang Xing supported her in a gentlemanly way just like on stage.

The two cooperated very happily, so Ekaterina talked and laughed all the way, a few words of Russian mixed with a sentence of newly learned Chinese, and she laughed very happily.

When the two went backstage, they happened to meet Lu Xianger and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra coming out to prepare.

Fang Xing let go of Yekaterina's hand, walked over and hugged Lu Xiang'er lightly, clenched his fists and encouraged, "Come on!"

Seeing the two hugging, Ekaterina asked in English in surprise, "What's your relationship?"

"This is my girlfriend Lu Xianger." Fang Xing introduced to her.

"Oh! Hello, hello." Ekaterina immediately reached out to shake hands with Lu Xianger.

Lu Xianger congratulated Yekaterina: "We met for the first time, thank you for your cooperation with Fang Xing, the performance was very successful."

After congratulating, Lu Xianger whispered next to Fang Xing, "I'm ready to go on stage."

"Don't be nervous, I'll cheer you up below." Fang Xing encouraged.

"You sing so well, I'm sure I won't admit defeat." Lu Xiang'er began to compete, pursing her lips and smiling happily.

"Eyelashes are laughing off." Fang Xing teased her.

"Ah?" Lu Xiang'er was so frightened that she quickly reached out to stroke her eyelashes.

Fang Xing quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, and said, "Just kidding, tonight is very beautiful, concentrate on playing."

"Okay." Lu Xianger nodded, and together with other musicians of the symphony orchestra, came to the backstage entrance and waited to enter.

There are more than 100 musicians in the symphony orchestra, which filled a large area of ​​the backstage.

Fang Xing and Yekaterina retreated to the back, looked at the stage, and planned to stand and watch later.

Ekaterina communicated in English on the side: "Your girlfriend is so beautiful."

Now there is no translator, so the communication in English is more fluent.

Fang Xing thanked: "Thank you, Miss Ekaterina is also very beautiful."

Ekaterina covered her mouth and laughed tremblingly: "Really? Thank you, "Lake Baikal" is really beautiful. Can I sing this song at the concert? I will pay the copyright royalties."

"Of course." Fang Xing agreed with a smile.

talking room.

The symphony orchestra began to take the stage, and after sitting down, began to adjust the instruments.

Lu Xianger stayed at the backstage entrance, as the principal violinist, and the main instrument of this concerto. She and the conductor of the orchestra were the last to appear.

Yekaterina was even more surprised when she saw that Lu Xianger stayed at the end with a violin in her hand: "Is your girlfriend still the chief violinist?"

"Yes, this concerto is all for her." Fang Xing replied.

Ekaterina had read the program list, but she had a program to perform, so she didn't pay much attention.

She found a playlist and said, "They are going to play "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". What piece of music is this?"

In her impression, the pieces played by the symphony orchestra are usually world-famous pieces such as "Concerto in B Minor" and "Concerto in D Major".

Fang Xing explained: "This is a violin concerto from China, maybe Miss Ekaterina has never heard of it."

Ekaterina quickly apologized: "I have heard too few symphonies. What does this concerto express?"

Fang Xing pointed to the name of the song on the playlist, and replied: "It's about a love story between two people. The hero and heroine are classmates, but the heroine keeps dressing up as a man..."

After listening to the story carefully, Ekaterina's eyes filled with tears when she heard that the last two people turned into butterflies.

at the same time.

The first movement of "The Butterfly Lovers" on the stage was played, officially using music to tell a poignant love story to the audiences of the two countries.

The melody of the first movement is brisk, graceful and lively, just like the process of two young people getting to know each other and loving each other.

Let the audience in the audience listen to it, they feel very fresh, and there is a kind of unexpected joy.
