"I understand, Grandpa He."
Xue Ziqi responded proudly.
After handing the microphone to the waiter, she and Cheng Ruolin walked slowly to the white piano and sat down.
Because of her interaction with Mr. He, the entire hall was already quiet.
Everyone stopped talking and focused their eyes on the stage, eagerly waiting for their upcoming performance.
After everything was ready, Xue Ziqi and Cheng Ruolin smiled at each other, and their hands fell almost at the same time.
As soon as the prelude sounded, some people who often go to concerts were shocked and couldn't help but blurt out.
"This is... 'Spring Overture'!"
"Spring Overture" is one of the top ten most difficult piano pieces in the world. Since the birth of the piano, the difficulty of this piece has never wavered. When it is mentioned, even many people in the music industry are terrified.
The technique is very tricky, with hundreds of notes played every minute. The physical effort required to play the entire piece is equivalent to shoveling several trucks of coal. What's even more difficult is that one has to play out the feeling of spring coming to life despite this extremely high difficulty.
In the music industry, there are only a handful of people who can perform this piece well.
Mr. He is one of them. He became famous because of this song. He was only six years old at that time, so people gave him the title of "musical prodigy" which was not a compliment to him.
The piece was difficult, but not difficult enough to be a big hit either, so Xue Ziqi and Cheng Ruolin came up with the idea of playing it as a duet to reduce the difficulty.
In families with the means, girls will learn one or two talents that they can show off. This has been the case since ancient times.
After the reform and opening up, Western culture poured in fiercely, and many people learned Western music, especially girls who learned piano and violin.
Both Xue Ziqi and Cheng Ruolin were born into prominent families, so they naturally have a good foundation. The two of them cooperated well and performed well. Although their emotional interpretation was still a little lacking, at least it was completed.
After all, this piece of music is ranked among the top ten in the world in terms of difficulty, and they are not professional pianists, so being able to play it to this level is already quite good.
When the song ended, the audience gave a round of applause.
Mr. He also nodded slightly: "Not bad."
"You call this good? It's far worse than you."
"You're asking too much, Old Xue. Ziqi specializes in painting, and it's already quite good that she can play the piano like this. If I, an old man, were to paint, I don't know what it would turn out like. Every profession has its specialties."
Xue Pan smiled, took a sip of tea, and said nothing more.
The two people on the stage stood up in front of the piano and greeted the audience.
Xue Ziqi, who became the focus, became extremely popular for a while.
Applause, praise, envy... She enjoyed it all while looking eagerly in the direction of He Tingyan.
He Tingyan was looking down at something intently, as if he didn't notice anything happening here.
Xue Ziqi was annoyed.
Doesn't he care about her at all?
Everyone's eyes turned towards the stage, except for this man, who turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to her wonderful performance!
How could she catch his eye even though she was so unbearable?
In that case...
Although Xue Ziqi was still smiling, the smile was gone from his eyes.
She took a deep breath, turned her gaze away from the man, and scanned the surroundings. Finally, her gaze stopped on her 'mortal enemy'.
Wen Xi was eating seriously. Just as she raised her head to drink water, she met Xue Ziqi's aggressive gaze.
"Miss Wen," Xue Ziqi said with a smile, raising her chin slightly. "I heard your mother is a teacher at a music conservatory and a somewhat famous performer. I'm sure you, as her daughter, wouldn't be bad either. Why don't you come up on stage and show us your skills?"
