Chapter 399

PS. This piece is Shostakovich's famous "Waltz No. 2," a very beautiful piece of music.

Main text:

The soothing trumpet contained endless affection, gentle and intoxicating.

The lively atmosphere of the banquet was cooled down quite a bit, but it made the guests feel even more immersed.

The power of music is always so magical; it is not any language, yet it has a better infectious power than any language. Every note and every melody seems to tell a story.

And the story told on the stage at this moment was luxurious and magnificent to the extreme.

Tonight, Buckingham Palace seemed to have returned to the peak period of the British Empire.

Bright lights replaced the moon and stars, people's laughter swirled in the air, and beautiful and happy faces spun under each other's affectionate gaze.

Dozens of men and women used different postures to fit the beat of the music, striving to show their best side.

The affectionate and gorgeous movement made everyone feel a bit tipsy, as if they had drunk a glass of the best Scotch whisky; everything in their eyes became slow, as if even time couldn't bear to let this beautiful moment pass too quickly.

Time is sometimes forgotten, but it never stops flowing itself.

As the performance progressed, the entire piece reached its climax.

Luo Quan stopped playing the violin and handed all the stage to the trombonist behind her.

The dull sound of the horn was like weeping and complaining, and it seemed to be accumulating power; the trumpet and violin were paving the way for it.

When the conductor raised his hands and lifted them suddenly, the magnificent harmony exploded instantly.

The music at this moment was romantic and luxurious to the point where it was hard to describe in words. I don't know how many people felt a sourness in their noses and actually had the urge to cry.

The dance steps of the boys and girls on the dance floor gradually became unified. Watching these scenes, the Queen's eyes were full of crystal.

She seemed to echo the appearance of herself when she first attended a ball when she was young, and the past appeared before her one by one.

Unreachable, yet it seemed close at hand!

The song stopped abruptly in this hopelessly romantic atmosphere, and the female dancers lay obliquely in their partners' arms; this was the most classic move when a waltz ended.

Applause, shutter sounds, and cheers surged like a tide.

Luo Quan put down the violin, bowed to thank everyone, and then returned to the stage.

Tonight, she only guest-starred as a violinist and would only play this one piece; the rest of the program had to be handled by the Philharmonic Orchestra itself.

However, although Luo Quan went down, the media's lenses also followed.

During the banquet, no reporters asked Luo Quan questions, but focusing the lens on the most shining person tonight besides the Queen was also perfectly reasonable.

Under the focus of the lens, Luo Quan sat back beside her family.

Thanks to her sister, Leon, who didn't have many shots, also appeared in the live broadcast on Twitter and YouTube.

The two siblings appeared on screen at the same time, immediately making the audience's bullet comments brush wildly.

At the same time, the term "Waltz No. 2" topped the hot searches in many countries and regions.

Such a feast that the whole world paid attention to could cause a sensation no matter what happened, let alone the appearance of such a stunning piece of music…………

By the time the banquet ended, it was already 12:00. After Luo Quan was full, she left early.

Mainly because after the ball ended, Grandpa's and Father's friends came over one after another.

Some came to reminisce about the past, some came to climb relationships, and others came to ask whether she was married or not.

To put it bluntly, it was because Luo Quan's performance just now was too eye-catching, and many dignitaries had the idea of plotting a marriage for their sons.

It was fortunate that Luo Quan slipped away quickly, so she wasn't pestered by these people.

After bathing, Luo Quan opened her phone and started enjoying people's praise for her.

The hot search about her on Weibo had already turned into a "boiling" state, and the number of comments reached tens of thousands.

This was probably the community that yearned for high society the most; most people envied Luo Quan for being able to shine at such a banquet, fewer praised Luo Quan's clothing and appearance, and those who praised the music were in the minority.

As for Zhihu, the people here were relatively contradictory.

The little bourgeois looked down on the incompetence of the old aristocrats, thinking they were all a bunch of parasites that should have been eliminated by the times.

On the other hand, they really wanted to live such a life without worrying about food and clothing; to put it bluntly, they wanted to become aristocrats of the new era.

Zhihu was said to be the community with the best academic qualifications and economic conditions in China, but there were actually not many who really had an annual salary of one million.

Those who really had this level were the dragons and phoenixes among people, and they probably didn't have the leisure to show off on Zhihu.

However, for this song, there were far more people who could appreciate it than on Weibo, and many people could very carefully say one, two, three.

But on the other hand, there were some slight criticisms of Luo Quan, thinking that such a piece should be handed over to the country; what was the point of giving it to the British Queen to use?

The hat of worshiping foreign things was put on.

For such comments, Luo Quan just smiled and let it go.

She hadn't written few national-style pieces, but some people didn't know whether they were blind or heart-blind, and they just couldn't see them.

Finally, it came to her favorite Bilibili sand sculpture netizen interaction session.

The friends here were good-looking and spoke nicely, and everyone was a talent; the feeling of staying here was much better than staying elsewhere～～.

The talents here were not teasing; it was absolutely the real situation.

For example, in the Bilibili hot search, the top hot comment on the live video of "Waltz No. 2" was: "

Rich Soviet style, concise and full of power.

You all only saw the luxury and nobility in the music, but I heard it praising the joy of ordinary people!"

To be honest, Luo Quan was shocked when she saw this comment.

This piece indeed came from the hands of the former Soviet musician Shostakovich, and the song was indeed written for the working people.

It was just because in the public impression, waltzes were more associated with aristocrats, so they were misunderstood by people.

But in fact, this was music sung for ordinary people.

It could only be said that Bilibili was indeed a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers were; this was analyzed out.

Luo Quan also followed the trend and expressed agreement under this comment.

Then, in less than a minute, the "Luo Quan Live Capture Team" appeared in the comment section, leaving messages one after another, as if they had guessed that Luo Quan would appear in the comment section.

The next day, the name "Oriental Mozart" hit the headlines of major news.

The birth of "Canon" and "Für Elise" before ultimately lacked some gimmicks.

This time the gimmick was quite sufficient: the Queen's 90th birthday, countless dignitaries and celebrities, and the whole process was broadcast live, watched by millions of people around the world.

Before the banquet ended, Luo Quan was already on the hot search, and now it had been hanging on it for a whole day, suppressing the news that the global box office of "The Lord of the Rings" exceeded 700 million.

Originally, today was a great day to accept interviews from reporters, but Luo Quan had already booked her flight, and after eating a royal special breakfast, she boarded the plane back to China.

There were about ten days left before the Bilibili New Year Festival would start.

Originally, the past New Year Festivals were recorded, but this year, China's first-line celebrities suffered heavy losses, and Bilibili was rich and powerful, and it happened that they invited first-line celebrities, so more than half of the already organized program list disappeared directly.

Time was so tight that it was a bit too late to find other celebrities.

Moreover, for the other celebrities found, the two-dimensional concentration was also a problem.

Bilibili started with ACG culture, and although because the number of users exploded, the ACG flavor was much lighter now, the content of the New Year Festival couldn't be without anime songs no matter what.

Now it was not easy to invite Japanese celebrities, and the audience for domestic anime OP and ED was still a bit small.

So the planners of this party decided after thinking again and again to divide this New Year Festival into two parts.

The first half, the originally scheduled celebrities and UP hosts would perform in turn, and the program duration would be about an hour and a half, mainly song and dance performances.

Then the second half, all handed over to Luo Quan to arrange!

This planner also talked to Luo Quan about this plan last night; after all, she was the singer with the most popular Japanese anime OP copyrights in the country.

Although after Luo Quan became famous, she refused many invitations to write songs for celebrities, but when the anime group asked her to sing opening and ending songs, she readily agreed to most of them.

Including anime series, movies, and short films.

She couldn't remember exactly how many there were; there were about ten or so, plus the songs in her two large and two small four Japanese albums before, it was enough to hold three concerts in a row.

Speaking of which, she recently received two song writing invitations from anime production groups.

One was for the new anime "Demon Slayer" which was about to start broadcasting in late January this year, and the other was "Naruto," one of the hottest Japanese anime in the world.

They were all Japanese anime that Luo Quan was familiar with; she could sing their opening and ending songs without exchanging lyrics and music!

In short, the second half of this New Year Festival would definitely be a feast for Bilibili's anime fans.

And here, after Luo Quan agreed to Bilibili's planning scheme, Uncle Cheng was overjoyed and directly served the hot search top:

"2018 New Year Festival Program List."

The content of the first half of the program was not much different from what had been set before, which did not attract much attention.

But the program arrangement of the second half directly stunned everyone.

"The remaining time will be Luo Quan singing new and old classic ACG songs, please look forward to it!"

What is called explosive? This TM is called explosive!

The New Year Festival started at 6:00, and the first half could be performed at 8:00 at the latest, and the four hours before 12:00 were completely occupied by Luo Quan!

Excluding the part that could be regarded as warming up in front, if this is not her personal concert, what is it?!

Luo Quan debuted for a year and a half, and she didn't guest star in other people's concerts, but basically she only sang two or three songs to mean it, and her fans didn't enjoy it at all.

And this time she actually wanted to sing for four hours, and it was at Bilibili's New Year Festival, how could this not make her fans excited.

What made people even more excited was that the tickets for the live audience of this New Year Festival also started to be sold.

In the past, most of these tickets couldn't be sold, and basically Bilibili had to find those UP hosts to fill the seats.

But this time, tens of thousands of comments in the comment section were all "I TM buy it!"

Everyone knew that this was Luo Quan's first personal concert in the true sense, although it was not promoted as such, but in fact, there was not much difference.

Missing this time, I don't know when the next time will be, and no old fan of Luo Quan can miss it.

The ticket price was a bit more expensive than last year, more than 150 each, but compared to the ticket prices of other celebrities' concerts, it was already an extremely conscientious price.

Although Uncle likes money, he is not enough to use the New Year Festival to pit everyone.

However, because there were too many people who wanted to buy tickets, this time Bilibili restricted the users who bought tickets—the level could not be lower than LV4.

This requirement basically cut off the idea of newcomers wanting to watch it on the spot. Those who could reach Bilibili LV4, not to mention old users, at least had a B-age of more than a year, and the purity was absolutely not low.

Bilibili arranged this, and on the other hand, it also tried to make the audience present old two-dimensional, so that when Luo Quan sang, the stage could also cheer and give feedback.

If it was like some celebrities holding concerts, the stage was shouting very lively, and the audience was like a pool of stagnant water, then the scene would be too embarrassing.

Therefore, if you are not an old two-dimensional, you may not be able to take on this heavy responsibility.

Although the quota was limited, the users who met the purchase requirements were still hard to find, and the tickets were sold out in less than a minute, and the speed was staggering.

Fans who didn't buy tickets were crying and howling in the dynamics, scolding Bilibili's server for being stuck, clearly clicked to buy, but in the blink of an eye, it showed that the network connection was not smooth, and refreshing it again showed that it had been sold out.

And those fans whose level was not enough, although regretful, seeing this scene, their hearts were also slightly balanced.

Although I still want to go.

But fortunately, if you can't go, you can watch the live broadcast.

Not long after, this news also spread to Japan.

As the birthplace of ACG culture, there are countless otaku here who like Luo Quan and two-dimensional.

Although Luo Quan has not dubbed for anime, she has sung OP or ED for many hot anime, and every song is a boutique, so her popularity has always been quite explosive.

This time, Japanese otaku were shocked to hear that Luo Quan was going to hold a Japanese song concert in China, first shocked, and then completely anxious.

Why hold a Japanese concert and sing anime songs in China?

Countless people asked on Twitter.

Soon someone introduced the reason to them. This concert is actually a New Year Festival program of Bilibili, and Bilibili is also the largest ACG culture gathering place in China. Luo Quan is also the celebrity with the most fans on Bilibili, deeply loved by otaku and otaku girls.

Although it was explained very clearly, the fans still couldn't accept it.

This is Luo Quan's first personal concert. If you can't see the live broadcast, it's better to die directly.

Luo Quan saw so many excited messages on her Twitter, and she really couldn't be sure how many of them were serious.

She could only tweet to stabilize them first, and then find President Cheng to coordinate, to see if the content of the New Year Festival could be broadcast to Japan.
