Chapter 1196 I Want to Go There
"What song is this? I heard love in the song, just like when I was in elementary school and saw Mary!" A white violinist hurried over and asked.
"Yes, we also heard love, thank you for playing, you gave me and Isabella a memorable trip to New York! My name is Pierre, and Isabella and I also want to know this piece What's its name, where can I buy records?" The couple in the audience came over and dropped a twenty-dollar bill in the piano case, and other audiences also put some more or less, and even those Several street artists also dropped notes.
Seeing this scene, Guo Yan was dumbfounded. This move is really good, but why there was no reaction before, but when it came to "The Butterfly Lovers", the reaction of the big guys was so intense? Also, Qiming's performance just now seems to be different from the past.
In the current Chinese Symphony Orchestra, everyone still admires famous Western songs, and Guo Yan still doesn’t quite understand the truth that the national ones are the world’s; The new piece of the song is indeed worthy of their attention, and there is a brand new technique in this piece, and the emotional integration of the performer is also very good. In this case, why should you begrudge your own applause?
"Thanks, thanks.....yes, this-song-is-love..." Shen Long imitated Wang Qiming and communicated with them in broken English, "this-song-from-China, name-is-《The- Butterfly-Lovers--Concerto." Wang Qiming is very familiar with the English version of "Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto", since it is also part of the Mixed Symphony Orchestra.
"? Uh, you-can-find-Japanese-- Takako-Nishizaki..." After answering the title of the song, Shen Long continued to introduce to the two listeners in Chinese and English where they could buy the record of "Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto".
Takako Nishizaki is the most famous violinist in Japan. She is one of the first foreign famous violinists to play "Blessings of Love". They should be able to find her records around here. With the name of the performer and the title of the song, I believe they can find it.
"Thank you, we'll go buy it later, by the way, is this song over?" the couple continued to ask, and when they got two more chapters, they stood there quietly waiting.
"Wait, are you saying that this piece is actually a violin concerto?" The white violinist suddenly realized, "I just said that when I heard it just now, I felt something was missing."
After chatting for a while, Shen Long rested and started playing the second chapter again. The tune became serious and gloomy, and then became decisive again.
The smiles of the audience gradually froze. They seemed to realize that this love story might not be as smooth as they imagined. Isabella couldn't help but leaned into her boyfriend's arms.
Then there is the meeting on the balcony, which is lingering and miserable, and the tone of weeping and complaining vividly expresses the mixed emotions of Liang and Zhu when they meet on the balcony.
The weeping melody sounded, profoundly expressing the scene of Yingtai’s bloody and tearful accusation against feudal ethics in front of the grave; then the rhythm suddenly accelerated, Yingtai threw herself into the grave, and the music reached its climax
The performance of the second chapter ended, and Shen Long started the last chapter directly without a break, that is, the performance of Huadie. Under the background of light and elegant string music, the main body of love reappeared, and Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai became a couple from the grave Butterflies, flying freely among the flowers, will never be separated.
The audience showed fascination on their faces. They seemed to be drawn into a mythical fairyland by Shen Long's performance, and saw the pair of butterflies transformed by Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai flying happily and freely among the flowers.
At the end of the song, the audience's faces were full of tears, but they showed sincere smiles. They could feel that although there were many twists and turns in this love story, the couple still had a relatively happy ending in the end; immediately, Enthusiastic applause rang out, and it took a long time to stop.
"Sir, may I know your name? Tell us about this love story?" Pierre came over and asked eagerly after the applause ended. Of course, he did not forget to put down another twenty dollars for Shen Long.
"My name is Wang Qiming, and this story is a bit... a bit like Romeo and Julia..." Shen Long tried to tell the story with extremely limited single words and confusing grammar, "... In the end, they turned into butterflies and lived happily together..."
"Pierre, what a sad and beautiful story!" At the end, Isabella's eye circles became moist again, and other audience members couldn't help but began to wipe their tears.
Their touch brought Shen Long a lot of money. He reckoned that the sum would be three digits, which exceeded the standard he set for Guo Yan in just one day; As a couple of Er and Isabella, it is estimated that there are not so many couples under normal circumstances, but it is definitely better than washing dishes.
Seeing that the harvest was almost done, he was a little tired after playing the cello for so long, so Shen Long packed up and prepared to leave. Some listeners who came late and didn't listen to the whole thing couldn't help asking, "Mr. Wang, will you come here again tomorrow?" Is it?"
"If it doesn't rain, I will definitely come back." Hehe, do I have regular fans here? Shen Long waved his hand and said.
"Hey, Wang, is it too early to go back now? Why don't we have a drink? Then talk about this song?" Frank the violinist invited, and several other street performers also gathered around. They were all full of enthusiasm for the song. interest.
"I'll ask my wife." Shen Long went to ask Guo Yan, she was very happy with today's harvest, and she also wanted to meet her colleagues in the United States, so she agreed.
The big guys put away their food and chatted as they walked. Naturally, they asked about the identities of Shen Long and Guo Yan. After learning that they were members of the official Chinese symphony orchestra, they were not only surprised , after all, none of them have entered the symphony orchestra yet.
"Here...the Lincoln Art Center...is the center of classical art, so we came to the United States!" Of course, Shen Long would not say that he came to the United States because he wanted to make money. Talking about money in front of artists is so vulgar.
Regarding this point, these street artists did not find it strange. After all, there are too many musicians who come here from all over the world to seek their dreams, and several of them are the same, but what Shen Long said next surprised them up.
"One day, I will perform here!" Shen Long said, pointing to Avery Fisher Hall and Carnegie Hall
