Below the stage.

In the front row.

Many music industry insiders had their expressions change suddenly.

"This piece..." a singer said with a serious expression.

Beside them, a composer took a deep breath, shock flashing in their eyes as they said: "Another hall-of-fame level piece!"

Although they didn't know how to create a hall-of-fame level piano piece, they could estimate whether a piece was excellent the moment it was played!

Without a doubt, this was another hall-of-fame level piece!

It was a piece that could rival "Canon"!

"Are they gods? Since when can hall-of-fame level piano pieces be created at will? You have to know, any pianist in the world who creates such a piece could become globally famous, but they are doing it one after another..."

The composer's voice grew quieter as they spoke; there was only music in their ears, but their heart and mouth were filled with bitterness.

They felt like an old veteran who had been in the martial arts world for over twenty years, always thinking they were a figure of some standing, and that there wasn't much left in the world that could shock them, until one day, they saw a supreme genius who had just emerged and ascended to the highest throne of the Wu Lin, shattering all their hard work, self-proclaimed talent, and efforts made for fame in one fell swoop!

And below the stage.

More and more audience members were being empathized with, closing their eyes slightly, sweet smiles appearing on their faces.

They might not have the high music appreciation ability of professionals, but throughout history, truly classic pieces have always been able to be appreciated by both the refined and the popular.

To them, this piece sounded very good.

That was enough.

"Good to listen to" is the best evaluation people can give for whether a piece is good or bad.

The twins' fingers danced on the keys, the beautiful notes cleansing the soul of everyone at the venue.

After the piece finished, the applause was like thunder.

And amidst the applause, Su Xue lowered her head to check the time.

"It's almost ten-thirty, it should be ending soon."

Generally speaking, the duration of a concert in the industry is usually 2-3 hours, but the time for the Xu Mingyue concert had already exceeded three hours, and was almost reaching three and a half hours.

In the eyes of a certain diva, these twin husbands were simply too conscientious; not only was the duration long, but the quality was also excellent. Apart from the song "Lanting Xu" which was led astray by fans singing off-key, every other song and every program was on point.

You have to know, concerts have extremely high requirements for a singer's physical strength and mental state.

Ordinary singers simply cannot hold a concert lasting more than three hours.

But Xu Mingyue did it.

Persistent and powerful!

"And, even towards the end of the concert, they can still play such top-tier piano pieces... it's too perverted."

Su Xue clicked her tongue in secret, her eyes flashing as she secretly rejoiced that these twin husbands were girls. If they were men... how could her body possibly withstand their explosive power and endurance? They were too fierce.

At this moment.

Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Zuofei looked at Su Xue and asked suspiciously: "Little sister, are you also worried that they won't be able to follow up their own act?"

"Huh?" Su Xue shook her head, then quickly nodded, her face turning bright red as she replied: "Ah... yes, that's right... their previous piece was too top-tier, too explosive. Not many people in the industry can follow that up, I'm afraid even they themselves might struggle!"

She wouldn't tell Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Zuofei that her thoughts had wandered off.

Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Zuofei looked at Su Xue suspiciously, then moved her gaze away and continued to look at the stage, saying: "The only ones who can defeat them are themselves. They should be prepared for the next act, but I estimate that there shouldn't be any program that can surpass this piece."

"Even for them, the possibility is not high..." Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Zuofei murmured to herself. She was deeply shocked by these twins. She had listened to "Canon" through music software, and while she was shocked then, it was nowhere near as shocking as hearing a masterpiece being born in person like this.

"In a sense, I have truly entered history." Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Zuofei looked up at the night sky, thinking of many years in the future. By then, the songs she sang might not be known or sung by many, but "Adagio of the Waters" would definitely be learned and played by people. By then, someone will surely talk about Xu Mingyue, talk about this concert, talk about this night...

Thinking about it, Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Zuofei got goosebumps all over...

On stage.

After the girls finished playing, they didn't care what the audience thought, but began preparing for the next piece.

How to follow up a hall-of-fame level piano piece? For them, it was indeed difficult, but not as difficult as imagined.

And they had already made preparations.

Admittedly, the piano level in China on Earth lags behind the West. For example, piano pieces like "Canon," "Dream Wedding," and "Adagio of the Waters" are all works by Western pianists, after all, the piano originated in the West.

But when it comes to music... there are still many pieces that can compete.

For example, the piece they were about to bring out next.

This piece is the first electronic music song in China, created over thirty years ago, known as the "progenitor of electronic music," from the hands of national first-class composer Xu Jingqing.

It is played on major satellite channels almost every year along with the TV series, especially during the summer vacation, when you can often hear it.

And this piece has been performed at the Vienna Golden Hall.

It is the theme song of Journey to the West: "Cloud Palace Quick Tune"!

Also known as: "Journey to the West Overture"!

This piece perfectly combines the natural, majestic traditional Chinese music with uninhibited electronic music. It makes people feel both dreamy and real, both majestic and grand, and both elegant and gentle.

This is the second-to-last piece the girls prepared for tonight.

Not only was the music prepared, but the animation was as well.

The opening animation was specially produced by the Polaris animation department, which included some famous scenes from Journey to the West: such as Chang'e dancing in the lotus pond, Tang Seng riding a horse in the sunset, the Great Sage walking drunkenly beside the alchemy furnace, etc...

At this moment.

The audience saw the folk musicians return to the stage, and at the same time, there was an orchestra in suits, and a choir in white long dresses... Counting them, seventy or eighty people were standing on the five stages in the blink of an eye.

And the girls, one picked up a conductor's baton, and the other stood in front of the choir.

In this moment.

As long as the audience wasn't blind, they could see that another major move was coming!
