1990: Starting from Baojia Street

After the performance of "Thoughts Across Time and Space" ended, Zhou Yan took a few steps forward and bowed to pay his respects, then clocked out.

When the audience saw Zhou Yan go down, they applauded wildly, wanting to give him an encore.

But it’s not encore time yet.

This is the penultimate program of this concert. There is also a chorus of "Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River East" at the end of the regular time.

When the choir came on stage, the audience stopped the encore and listened carefully to the last chorus.

After all, it is the theme song of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The audience at the scene was very familiar with "Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River East", and some neon audiences could even sing along with a few lines.

In addition to Zhou Yan's two songs, the chorus of "The Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River Passing East" is definitely the most popular program tonight, and it makes sense to make it the last program.

After singing "Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River East", the regular program of this concert came to an end.

But according to tradition, the audience will definitely applaud for the encore, and the Broadcasting Art Troupe will definitely make an encore.

Zhou Yan's own concerts will basically encore four or five times, sometimes eight or nine times, but he won't add more.

This time the Broadcasting Art Troupe has prepared a lot of repertoire. According to Yan Changqing, as long as the audience is enthusiastic enough, they can keep returning.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the audience will not remain enthusiastic all the time.

If there is a program for each encore, ten encores will take at least an hour, plus the more than two hours of the concert itself, a total of more than three hours of performance. The performers are not tired and the audience is happy. You must be tired. In fact, the high-intensity encore consumes the audience's energy very much.

After the encore began, the Broadcasting Art Troupe quickly returned to the stage.

Once, twice, and three times, the audience's enthusiasm was always high, but gradually, some audience members would shout Zhou Yan's name when they applauded.

Gojima Takashi heard the audience shouting Zhou Yan's name from behind, and it got louder every time. If Zhou Yan didn't return to the stage, the whole audience would probably shout Zhou Yan's name.

Seeing this scene, Gojima Takashi greeted the translator, then lowered his body and touched the backstage.

When they found Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan was sitting leisurely on the sofa with his eyes closed and resting with a cup of hot tea.

Although he has only performed two shows on stage, he is still very tired today. He has basically not rested since morning.

Waiting in the waiting area for an hour or two just now was a drain on his energy.

At this moment, he didn't want to continue writing the score of "Snow Flower", but took a good rest.

Entering the lounge, Gojima Takashi shouted, "Mr. Zhou Yan."

Zhou Yan had actually heard the footsteps of the two people, and he also recognized that one of them was Gojima Takashi.

Gojima has a big belly. When he walks, his heels hit the ground first, which makes a loud knock, and then the forefoot hits the ground with almost no sound. The footsteps are quite distinctive, so they are easy to hear.

In fact, as long as Zhou Yan remembers it carefully, he can hear anyone's footsteps.

In Zhou Yan's ears, the sound of everyone's footsteps is very different, with differences in pace and severity. Even though he was wearing different shoes, Zhou Yan could still hear it.

Sometimes he uses his eyes to see but has no ears to hear accurately.

For example, Kudo Shizuka and Nakamori Akina, if they wore thicker clothes and had similar hairstyles, Zhou Yan would not be able to tell who was who from behind. But if they spoke or walked, Zhou Yan could easily hear the difference.

However, although Zhou Yan heard that it was Gojima Takashi, he still waited until Gojima Takashi spoke before opening his eyes, and then made a surprised expression, "Mr. Gojima, why are you here? Is the performance in front of you okay?"

"No problem, tonight's performance was very successful. I came here specifically to thank you. Today you not only played two sets of songs, but also interacted with the audience. The atmosphere was very good." Gojima Takashi said with a smile.

"Mr. Goudao, you're welcome. This is what I should do." Zhou Yan smiled, and then asked, "Would you like some tea? The Hou Kui I brought from China, the new tea that just came out a few days ago, It tastes very good.”

"When the concert is over, I must try the tea brought by Mr. Zhou Yan, but now, I have a gracious favor." Gojima Takashi said.

Zhou Yan blew the steam from the tea cup and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"See if you can come back and add another show."

Zhou Yan wondered, "Mr. Houjima, when we rehearsed before, we didn't have this link. I was worried that something would go wrong."

Goshima Takashi nodded, "Indeed, without rehearsal, the performance may indeed go wrong, but Mr. Zhou Yan, you can also go on stage and interact with the audience. The Neon audience really likes you so much. It's hard for you to come here once, and they will Of course I hope to see more..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yan said directly, "No problem, I can go up."

The translator translated Zhou Yan's words to Goshima Takashi with a face full of surprise. Goshima Takashi kept asking the translator if he had made a mistake in the translation.

Gojima Takashi had been mentally prepared. Inviting Zhou Yan to return this time would definitely not go smoothly, and there was a high probability that he would have to make some concessions. However, Zhou Yan agreed very readily, and the speed exceeded his expectation.

The most important thing is that the translation of what he just said has not been translated to Zhou Yan.

The translator was also made unconfident by Gojima Takashi, and he carefully confirmed with Zhou Yan, "Mr. Zhou Yan, are you sure you are willing to return?"

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Of course, now that Mr. Gojima has spoken, I still have to give him this face. Let's do this. This encore is over, and I will go on stage for the next encore."

Goshima Takashi said immediately, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After saying that, he ran to make arrangements, walking quickly, for fear that Zhou Yan would regret it.

In fact, there is nothing to arrange. Just go to the waiting area and ask Zhou Yan to jump in line.

After Gojima Takashi left, Zhou Yan was not in a hurry. The old man drank the tea in the cup on the spot, then got up and walked towards the waiting area.

By the time he arrived at the waiting area, the encore show had come to an end.

After waiting for about half a minute, the program on the stage ended.

After finishing on stage, Zhou Yan did not rush out. Instead, he waited for the audience to applaud for two minutes and then walked onto the stage after enough time for the encore.

When Zhou Yan appeared on the stage again, the applause reached its peak tonight.

Many people's buttocks left their seats, and applause and cheers mixed together, resounding throughout the concert hall.

The audience had an encore for a long time, and what they expected most was that Zhou Yan could return. Although the Broadcasting Art Troupe's performance was also wonderful, they wanted to see Zhou Yan even more. Obviously, Zhou Yan only played two pieces, which did not satisfy them.

Zhou Yan took the bamboo flute, walked behind the microphone, smiled, and said loudly, "Auntie washes the railway."

The audience also replied: "Auntie washes the railway!"

Because of his previous experience, this time after Zhou Yan said "Auntie washes the railway", the response on the scene was much neater.

Although Zhou Yan only said it twice on stage tonight, the audience felt that the sentence "Auntie washes the railway" was very brainwashing. It was obviously a very simple sentence, but it was said by Zhou Yan in a very ritualistic way.

Zhou Yan said something and then replied something, and the audience had a strong sense of participation.

The essence of human beings is repeaters.

Kudo Shizuka in the audience also shouted with the others, "Auntie washes the railway."

Nakamori Akina looked at Kudo Shizuka shouting loudly, and suddenly felt a little envious. Why can Shizuka always be so heartless?
It seems that every time I see Shizuka, she looks very happy and very energetic in private. Especially in the past two years, Shizuka has gained a lot of weight.

The audience shouted again, and Zhou Yan shouted again in Chinese, "I love you."

Most of the audience had no idea what Zhou Yan was talking about, but due to inertia, they also shouted along.

"I love you."

It sounds quite standard. After all, it is not difficult to pronounce these three words, and there are many people at the scene who can speak Chinese. Some are Chinese, and some are neon people like Kudo Shizuka who can speak Chinese.

Shizuka Kudo also took the opportunity to shout "I love you" and pulled Akina Nakamori along with her, "Akina, come on, shout with us."

Akina Nakamori didn't know what this sentence meant, but she was infected by the atmosphere and shouted along.

"I love you."

After shouting it out, she felt much better.

She had not been living well in the past few years. The successive blows made her feel like she could no longer survive.

Especially the death of her mother and the betrayal of her agent last year were a heavy blow to her. In the dead of night, she also thought about committing suicide, but every time she saw the scars on her wrists, the idea was given up.

The last suicide attempt was unsuccessful, and she no longer had the courage to do such a thing again.

She hasn't appeared in front of the media for a long time, and she doesn't have many friends.

It's been a long time since I've been able to join in the fun with everyone like today.

Kudo Shizuka called her a few days ago and told her that there was a concert today and invited her to come and listen to it. At that time, she did not give a positive answer because she did not want to go to a crowded place.

On the one hand, she doesn't like too noisy environments, and on the other hand, it would be troublesome if someone recognized her.

Moreover, there will most likely be reporters at the concert. Those reporters always like to ask embarrassing questions and will not consider her feelings at all.

But this morning, Shizuka Kudo knocked on her door and pulled her out.

Now, she was a little lucky to be pulled out. Today should be the day in which she was in the best mood recently.

Even though I just shouted with the others, I felt inexplicably much better.

Zhou Yan listened to the audience shouting "I love you" several times, and he also grinned. He had actually planned this part. When he said "Auntie washes the railway" before, he thought about bringing the scene to the scene. The neon audience spoke a word of Chinese together.

Now it seems that his routine is still very effective.

At least after tonight, the neon audience at the scene will remember how to say "I love you" in Chinese.

"Thank you, I love you too."

At this time, Sangtian, who had been waiting, finally started working and translated this sentence to the audience.

After hearing Sang Tian's translation, many people realized that what Zhou Yan just said should be "I love you" in Chinese.

After raising the atmosphere of the scene, Zhou Yan gave the audience a little time to applaud, and then spoke again, "Next, the piece I am going to play is quite special. It might have been the soundtrack of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but In the end, after weighing a lot, I gave it up.”

"Many people say that "Three Kingdoms" has a lot of soundtracks, but in fact what you hear is only part of it. The songs that Mr. Li Yiding and I created for this TV series are far more than these."

"Some songs will be screened out during our discussion, while some songs will have been screened out by myself or Teacher Li Yiding before they enter the discussion stage. And the song "Beginning" that I will play next is It was screened out by myself without any discussion. In other words, this piece has not even been heard by Teacher Li Yiding, and today is the first time it has been played in public.”

Hearing Zhou Yan's words, the audience at the scene became excited.

They didn't expect that Zhou Yan would not only be summoned by the endless calls, but they would also get such benefits. Zhou Yan would actually play a piece of music for them that had been dusted for a long time and had never been heard by the world.

Regardless of whether the music is good or not, the story Zhou Yan told is attractive enough - they are the first listeners of this music in the world.

Isn't this the same as witnessing the birth of a new song?
At this moment, Takashi Goshima in the audience had several more wrinkles on his face, and the corners of his mouth almost reached behind his ears.

Zhou Yan is really giving face.

Not only did he readily agree to return, but he immediately raised the atmosphere to the top after taking the stage, and now he has to perform unreleased music. This set of combos made tonight's concert much more exciting.

If the quality of this song "The Beginning" is high, Goshima Takashi believes that this will become a classic concert that people will talk about.

Goshima Takashi can already imagine how the major media will report on this concert tomorrow. "Auntie Washes the Railway" and this song will definitely become the focus of everyone's attention.

Goshima even felt that "Auntie washes the railway" might become a hot word in the near future. Oh, and "I love you". Goshima even remembered how to pronounce "I love you".

After Zhou Yan on the stage finished speaking, he gestured to the audience to indicate to the staff to turn off the microphone.

Then he took a few steps back, held the bamboo flute to his mouth, and was about to start playing a tune.

Seeing Zhou Yan's actions, the audience immediately became quiet, and everyone was waiting expectantly for Zhou Yan's performance.

They were about to witness a piece of music being played publicly for the first time, so they didn't dare to make a sound and ruin this beautiful moment. (End of chapter)
