Golden Greenery

Chapter 185 (Part 2) Big eyes under the starry sky

There is no doubt that "King Under the Stars" was a success and even caused a sensation in the entire Austrian music industry. Zhuoyang's musical identity here surpassed his football identity. The media called him "young king, young pianist", and He is not the 'King of Football, Genius of Piano' as he was generally introduced before.

Austria is the place where classical music has the deepest accumulation. Being recognized here means being recognized all over the world. In other words, Zhuo Yang's skills are even higher.

The success of the concert even attracted the attention of the famous British record company EMI, hoping to sign a contract with Zhuo Yang and release his personal classical music performance album. But after careful consideration and discussion with Professor Norman and his sister Zhuo Qiu, Zhuo Yang declined EMI. Zhuo Yang is not interested in this at the moment, or it may be a little too early. Releasing records is nothing more than fame and fortune. First of all, although Zhuo Yang is not rich, he is not very short of money. Furthermore, for Zhuo Yang who is famous in the industry, he hopes to be solid step by step, just like he is in football. Releasing records did not help his reputation in the piano professional field. In other words, it meant little to make him popular among ordinary music fans.

EMI was rejected by Zhuoyang, but they still gained a lot. Through professional analysis and judgment, EMI signed the greenwind band, which became famous for participating in Zhuo Yang's solo concerts twice, and was very optimistic about the development prospects of lead singer Jenna Pence.

On the night after signing the contract with EMI, a bunch of people from the Greenwind band got drunk and everyone kissed Zhuo Yang on the face. Ke Qi and Jenna even kissed Zhuo Yang on the mouth without any care. The young king almost stuck out his tongue. Sun Yumei, the big-eyed girl, giggled at the side, her laughter so sweet that it made people sick.

Zhuo Yang's promotion is just an opportunity. The key is that the music of greenwind band has been recognized by EMI. At the "King Under the Stars" concert, the song "After the Breakup" by the greenwind band and Zhuo Yang exploded the audience. No one expected that the concerto of classical piano and pop rock would be so perfect and shocking. The seamless connection between the slow-tempo drum beat and the ethereal and clear piano sound mesmerized the more than 4,000 listeners in the Salzburg Music Festival Hall.

In fact, Zhuo Yang invited Ke Qi and the greenwind band to participate in his concert, not purely out of the idea of ​​​​promoting them, but out of inspiration.

That was the time when my grandfather Mertesacker was betrayed by his ex-girlfriend Cheryl. Zhuo Yang played the piano to his grandfather. Later, Mertesacker opened his heart and finally released his emotions that night.

That night, Zhuoyang suddenly had the idea to play pop songs to arouse Mertesacker's emotions, so that he was unknowingly guided by the sound of his piano. Pop music is more contagious because it is familiar to everyone. In other words, the threshold for appreciation of pop music is relatively low, so it is more acceptable to ordinary listeners and can resonate with the public. If Zhuo Yang had played his usual classical etudes that night, it would have been difficult to achieve such good results. Whether it's Chopin's Mazurka, Beethoven's sonata, or Liszt's B minor, in that case the effect is not as good and direct as Matthew Lane's "Bressanone".

Inspired by that night, Zhuo Yang began to think about the relationship between pop music and classical music. There are many masters who have made attempts in this area, such as Richard Clayderman and Maxim, but all of them tried to use pop music to interpret classical classics, and they all received mixed reviews. But Zhuoyang began to wonder from his own feelings whether he could do the opposite. Can he use classical performance techniques to express pop music?

Therefore, this cooperation with the greenwind band was a bold attempt by Zhuo Yang. His idea was also supported by his mentor Carl Norman, and the effect and response shown at the concert were quite good.

Many years later, Zhuo Yang, a world-famous pianist and the youngest professor in the history of Hannover University of Music, collaborated with the pop music queen Jenna Burns to record and release an album.

There is only one clear piano and one disembodied voice in the entire record. The record created a super-platinum myth, attracting imitators and followers, but no one has ever been able to surpass it. This record has also become a classic of both classical music and pop music.

"The King Under the Starry Sky" was a complete success. While Zhuo Yang was satisfied, his sister Zhuo Qiu also gained a lot. Zhuo Qiu was fully involved in the organization of Zhuo Yang's two concerts. The eldest sister's work ability was really incredible. She considered all aspects of the problem and conducted it with ease, which made Marzini completely a small piece of work. Zhuo Qiuqiu has a far-sighted vision in controlling the overall situation and is very meticulous in specific matters. Moreover, she can put Zhuo Yang first in all issues and do whatever is best for Zhuo Yang. It would be impossible for anyone else to have this kind of intention, and even if they had this kind of intention, they wouldn't have the strength.

After the concert, everyone stayed in Austria for a few more days before going their separate ways. Zhuo Qiu will return to Hannover first to handle some things for Zhuo Yang, and then travel to Greece. She has made an appointment with some classmates to join in the excitement of the Olympic Games.

Greenwind band, Ke Xi and Sun Yumei are going back to London. The greenwind band has finally turned around. We are waiting for them to be professionally packaged and tailor-made in the professional music world, and they will no longer be poor music workers.

Sun Yumei was quite reluctant to say goodbye to Zhuo Yang, her two oversized eyes blinked, and she held Zhuo Yang's hand like a child.

"Zhuoyang, remember to call me when you are fine..."

"Remember to come to London to play with me when you have free time..."

Because her parents have specially cultivated the habit of speaking in English at home since she was a child, Sun Yumei's Chinese proficiency has obviously improved during this time with Zhuo Yang. The cute sweet girl made Zhuo Yang sigh: I have always read in books that there is a kind of eyes that can talk, isn't that what Sun Yumei is referring to!

At night, Zhuo Yang had a strange dream. In a chaotic and confusing forest, he met many people whose faces he couldn't see clearly. He couldn't even remember whether these people were men or women, and he also forgot that he was looking for someone. The exit still requires evading pursuit. But Zhuo Yang always saw a pair of big, bright and quiet eyes in the sky staring at him in his dreams.

Are these eyes Sun Yumei's?

This was not the first time Zhuo Yang had such a dream. Since more than a year ago, he had often seen these eyes in various dreams. There seemed to be many stories in the autumn water in his eyes.

The summer concert is over. Zhuoyang is going to France. The Six Musketeers will all go to France. Madibao's teammates will also go to France. Even his second brother Montolivo, who is training for the Italian Olympic team, will take leave and rush there. Because our brother Scar Ribery is getting married.
