Chapter 307 The Dusted "Beginning"

After the performance of "Yearning Across Time and Space", Zhou Yan walked forward a few steps, bowed and saluted, and then clocked out.

When the audience saw Zhou Yan go down, they all applauded wildly, wanting to bring him up for an encore.

But it was not time for the encore yet.

This was the penultimate program of this concert, and there was a chorus of "The East Flowing Yangtze River" at the end of the regular time.

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

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

In addition to Zhou Yan's two songs, the chorus of "The East Flowing Yangtze River" was definitely the most popular program tonight, and it made sense to make it the last program.

After "The East Flowing Yangtze River" was sung, the regular programs of this concert were all over.

But according to convention, the audience must applaud for an encore, and the Radio Art Troupe must also return.

Zhou Yan's own concerts basically have four or five encores, and sometimes eight or nine, but they won't add more.

This time, the Radio Art Troupe prepared a lot of repertoires. According to Yan Changqing, as long as the audience is enthusiastic enough, they can keep encores.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the audience will not keep their enthusiasm.

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

After the encore began, the Radio Art Troupe quickly encores.

Once, twice, three times, the audience's enthusiasm has always been high, but gradually, some audiences will shout Zhou Yan's name when they applaud.

Houdao Long heard that there were audiences behind shouting Zhou Yan's name, and each time was louder than the last. If Zhou Yan didn't come back, I'm afraid the whole audience would shout Zhou Yan's name.

Seeing this, Houdao Long greeted the translator, and then crouched down and touched the backstage.

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

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

He had just waited in the waiting area for an hour or two, which was also a consumption of his energy.

Now he didn't want to continue writing the score of "Snow Flower", but to have a good rest.

After entering the lounge, Gojima Takashi called out, "Mr. Zhou Yan."

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

Gojima Takashi had a big belly. When he walked, his heel landed first, and the knock was very loud, and then the forefoot landed with almost no sound. His footsteps were quite distinctive, so it was easy to hear.

In fact, as long as Zhou Yan remembered carefully, he could hear anyone's footsteps.

In Zhou Yan's ears, everyone's footsteps were very different, with different step frequencies and weights. Even if they were wearing different shoes, Zhou Yan could still hear them.

Sometimes he uses his eyes to see, but his ears are not as accurate as his ears.

For example, if Kudo Shizuka and Nakamori Akina wear thicker clothes and have similar hairstyles, Zhou Yan really can't tell who is who from behind. But if they start talking or walking, Zhou Yan can easily tell 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 previous performance okay?"

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

"Mr. Gojima is polite, this is what I should do." Zhou Yan smiled, and then asked, "Would you like some tea? The Houkui I brought from China, the new tea that just came out a few days ago, tastes very good."

"When the concert is over, I must taste the tea brought by Mr. Zhou Yan, but now, I have an unwelcome request." Gojima Takashi said.

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

"Can you come back and add another program?"

Zhou Yan said in embarrassment, "Mr. Houdao, we didn't have this segment when we rehearsed before. I was worried that something might go wrong."

Houdao Takashi nodded, "Indeed, without rehearsal, the performance may indeed go wrong, but Mr. Zhou Yan, you can also go on stage to interact with the audience. The Japanese audience really likes you so much. You finally come once, and they certainly 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 Houdao Takashi with a look of surprise. Houdao Takashi was full of surprise and asked the translator repeatedly if the translation was wrong.

Houdao Takashi had already prepared himself mentally. This time, inviting Zhou Yan to come back would definitely not go smoothly. There was a high probability that he would have to make some concessions in interests, but Zhou Yan agreed very readily, faster than he expected.

The most important thing was that he had not yet translated his own words to Zhou Yan.

The translator was also made unconfident by Houdao Long, and carefully confirmed with Zhou Yan, "Mr. Zhou Yan, are you sure you are willing to come back for the encore?"

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

Houdao Long said immediately, "Okay, I'll arrange it now."

After saying that, he ran to arrange it, his steps were fast, for fear that Zhou Yan would regret it.

In fact, there was nothing to arrange, just go to the waiting area and tell Zhou Yan to cut in line.

After Houdao Long left, Zhou Yan was not in a hurry. He drank the tea in the cup calmly, then stood up and walked towards the waiting area.

When he arrived at the waiting area, the next encore program had come to an end.

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

After the end of the stage, Zhou Yan did not rush out, but waited for the audience to applaud for two minutes, and the encore time was enough before he went on stage.

When Zhou Yan appeared on the stage again, the applause reached the peak of the night.

Many people left their seats, and the applause and cheers mixed together and resounded throughout the concert hall.

The audience had been asking for an encore for a long time, and what they most hoped for was that Zhou Yan could return.

Although the performance of the Radio Art Troupe was also wonderful, they wanted to see Zhou Yan more. Obviously, Zhou Yan only played two pieces and did not satisfy them.

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

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

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

Although Zhou Yan only said it twice on the stage tonight, the audience felt that this sentence "Auntie washes the railway" was very brainwashing. It was obviously a very simple sentence, but Zhou Yan said it with a sense of ritual.

Zhou Yan said one sentence, and the audience responded one sentence below, and the audience also had a strong sense of participation.

The essence of human beings is a repeater.

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

Akina Nakamori looked at Shizuka Kudo 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 energetic in private, especially in the past two years, Shizuka has gained a lot of weight.

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

Most of the audience didn't know what Zhou Yan said, but out of inertia, they shouted together.

"I love you."

It sounds quite standard, after all, these three words are not difficult to pronounce, and there are many people at the scene who can speak Chinese, some of them are Chinese, and some are Japanese people like Shizuka Kudo who can speak Chinese.

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

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

"I love you."

After shouting it out, she felt much better.

In the past few years, she has not lived well. The successive blows made her feel that she was about to die.

Especially last year, her mother's death and the betrayal of her agent were very heavy blows to her. In the dead of night, she also thought about committing suicide, but every time she saw the scar on her wrist, this idea was dispelled.

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

She has not appeared in front of the media for a long time, and she doesn't have many friends to interact with.

Like today, she has not appeared for a long time to join in the fun.

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

On the one hand, she doesn't like a noisy environment, and on the other hand, if she is recognized, it will be a troublesome thing.

And there is a high probability that there will be reporters at the concert. Those reporters always like to ask embarrassing questions and don't consider her feelings at all.

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

Now, she was somewhat glad to be pulled out. Today should be her best day recently.

Although she just shouted with others, she felt much better.

Zhou Yan listened to the audience shouting "I love you" several times, and grinned. He had planned this link long ago. When he said "Auntie washes the railway", he thought about leading the Japanese audience to say a sentence in Chinese.

Now it seems that his routine is still very effective.

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

"Thank you, I love you too."

At this time, Sang Tian, ​​who had been on standby, finally started working and translated this sentence to the audience.

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

After bringing up the atmosphere, Zhou Yan gave the audience some time to applaud, and then spoke again, "Next, the piece I'm going to play is quite special. It might have been the soundtrack for Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but after weighing many factors, I gave it up."

"Many people say that there are many soundtracks for Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but in fact, what you heard is only a part of it. Teacher Li Yiding and I have composed far more pieces for this TV series."

"Some pieces will be screened out during our discussion, while some pieces have been screened out by me or Teacher Li Yiding before they even enter the discussion stage. The piece I'm going to play next, Beginning, was screened out by me before it was discussed. In other words, even Teacher Li Yiding has never heard of this piece, and today is the first time it has been publicly performed."

The audience was excited when they heard Zhou Yan's words.

They didn't expect that after much urging, not only did they call out Zhou Yan, but they also had such a benefit. Zhou Yan was actually going to play them a piece that had been sealed for a long time and had never been heard by the world.

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

Isn't this equivalent to witnessing the birth of a new song?

At this moment, the wrinkles on Takashi Gojima's face in the audience have increased several times, and the corners of his mouth are almost grinning behind his ears.

Zhou Yan is really giving face.

Not only did he readily agree to return to the stage, but after he went on stage, he directly pulled the atmosphere to the top, and now he has to play unreleased songs. This set of tricks makes tonight's concert much more exciting.

If the quality of this song "Beginning" is very high, Takashi Gojima believes that this will become a classic concert that people will talk about with relish.

Takashi Gojima 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.

Even Takashi Gojima feels that "Auntie Washes the Railway" may become a recent hot word. Oh, and "I love you", Takashi Gojima has remembered how to pronounce "I love you".

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

Then he stepped back a few steps, put the bamboo flute to his lips, and prepared to play the song.

Seeing Zhou Yan's action, the audience instantly quieted down, and everyone was waiting for Zhou Yan's performance with expectation.

They were about to witness the first public performance of a song, so they didn't dare to make a sound to ruin this beautiful moment. (End of this chapter)
