Lu Yuan originally thought that commanding was simple.
After all, what Brando said was that conducting was ten thousand times easier than learning the piano!
Okay, Lu Yuan believed it.
He used himself as a reference. After all, he could play the piano. If it was 10,000 times easier than playing the piano, then it would be deadly simple...
Later, when Lu Yuan came to the Vienna State Opera, received the conductor's script prepared by Wang Jinxue, and truly understood the work of conducting, he suddenly realized that he might have been deceived...
Conducting is not easy.
Not only is it not easy, it even requires a very high level of musical literacy from the conductor. Not only must he clearly hear the melodies played by all the instruments in the symphony, but he must also be able to distinguish the speed of each instrument. Some performers may even have unexpected excitement and ideas when they are having a good time. Once such ideas emerge, the entire symphony will be deviated, and then unpredictable performance accidents will occur. Therefore, once this happens, a conductor is needed...
His role is to prompt the performers, determine the quantitative rhythm processing, and more importantly, improvise.
Conducting is an art!
When Lu Yuan truly understood the role of a commander and the qualities he needed to possess, he suddenly realized that he was on a path of no return.
Vienna State Opera.
When Lu Yuan stood in the magnificent theater and looked at the dignified, majestic and artistic decorations, he actually felt that he was really out of place here. He even felt that such a place was not the right place for him.
An unprecedented feeling of fear filled his body.
Think about it!
In such an occasion that attracted the attention of the whole world, a fake conductor stood on the stage, holding a baton and conducting the whole thing in an extremely unprofessional manner, shocking the whole world.
This feeling...
Not only will it cause a sensation, but it will also leave an indelible mark in the entire history of world music.
Then, Lu Yuan felt that he would be stabbed in the back and scolded badly.
Lu Yuan unconsciously thought of Brando's words.
Conducting is 10,000 times easier than playing the piano!
What is this old man doing!
This isn't the way you're going to fool me, right?
But then he changed his posture and thought about it, and Lu Yuan suddenly realized that Brando was not wrong.
For a world-class pianist like Brando, conducting might indeed be much simpler than playing the piano. After all, Brando's research on piano is very deep, and no one in the world is qualified to say that it is deeper than Brando. So, what he said about it being ten thousand times simpler is compared to his level, and Lu Yuan...
I never thought of this before!
"Welcome, welcome... Mr. Lu Yuan, I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long, long time! This is a world-class concert that is rare in the entire century. Mr. Lu Yuan, I am extremely looking forward to us creating another miracle and shocking the world. This will be a great cooperation!" A middle-aged man with a big beard walked towards Lu Yuan excitedly after seeing him, his eyes exuding a passion that even Lu Yuan felt horrified.
This man's name is Bena.
He is the head of the entire Royal Austrian Symphony Orchestra!
The Royal Austrian Symphony Orchestra is also the leading symphony orchestra in the entire world. To put it bluntly, they are the world's number one symphony orchestra. Any one of them would be a well-known figure internationally.
"Hello, Mr. Bena..." The more excited and exaggerated the bearded Bena spoke, the worse Lu Yuan felt and the more upset he felt.
At this moment, he felt like he was under a tremendous pressure like a mountain, and this pressure made it hard for him to breathe.
But……
Lu Yuan found that he had no other options, and there was no way he could escape from the battlefield.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Hans, the head of the woodwind section, this is Mia, the head of the brass section, and this is..."
“…”
As Lu Yuan watched Bena begin to introduce the members of the Royal Austrian Symphony Orchestra one by one, he felt a buzzing in his ears.
For some reason, even though it was pure English, Lu Yuan's brain went blank. He smiled mechanically and greeted them mechanically.
Far away from the stage.
The official leaders of the entire Austria and several famous Austrian journalists were there.
After seeing Lu Yuan's mechanical appearance, they not only did not feel that Lu Yuan was just going through the motions, but everyone felt that Lu Yuan exuded an unparalleled temperament, comparable to that of Morte, the top musician in music history.
Perhaps under the shining lights, Lu Yuan's temperament has gradually become stronger, and several younger female reporters have a heart-beating feeling, as if Lu Yuan's every word and action are the symbol of the highest hall in the history of world music.
although……
They didn't know that the awesome Lu Yuan in their hearts was feeling conflicted at this moment.
He even felt that if God could give him another chance, he would definitely not act like this.
But now, the die is cast, what else can he do?
"Dear Mr. Lu Yuan, because our schedule is quite tight, we plan to start rehearsals in two days. What do you think?"
“…”
"Mr. Lu Yuan?"
“…”
"Mr. Lu Yuan?"
"Sorry, I have to take a call first."
"good……"
…
Vienna is beautiful at night.
Flashing lights, exotic pedestrians on the street, and slightly medieval-style buildings.
All of this makes people linger.
Lu Yuan and Wang Jinxue walked hand in hand on this street...
Looking at the water of the Rhine River, Wang Jinxue felt that Lu Yuan was very different today than usual. She clearly felt that Lu Yuan was worried and under great pressure.
The atmosphere did not become romantic in this relative silence, but instead became solemn and awkward.
This is an extremely rare situation.
"Are you okay? Why does taking a walk with me feel like going to the execution ground? Don't you like me anymore?" Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan and then broke the awkwardness.
"No...how is that possible, I..." Lu Yuan shook his head subconsciously.
"You are very uneasy about this concert..." Wang Jinxue continued to ask.
"Jinxue, I... Actually, I don't know much about conducting. I've never conducted anything before. This is even my first time to come into contact with conducting. I have never been exposed to it before. Moreover, in a place like Vienna..." Lu Yuan turned his head and hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed all his worries.
"..." Wang Jinxue listened silently. It was the first time she felt how uneasy Lu Yuan felt.
She suddenly realized that Lu Yuan, who had always been omnipotent, still had some weaknesses.
"Jinxue... I'm not a genius. I may be gifted, but I'm not an all-rounder after all. In fact, the reason why I want to quit the music industry is that I know myself..."
When the two reached the other side of the river, Lu Yuan closed his eyes.
He told Wang Jinxue everything that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.
Wang Jinxue listened to Lu Yuan quietly. She felt more and more distressed for Lu Yuan and couldn't help but hug him.
Lu Yuan...
The mentality is very strong, but no matter how strong a person is, there will always be weaknesses deep down in his heart.
As long as one is human, it is impossible to be invincible.
In fact, in Wang Jinxue's heart, Lu Yuan has done enough and done well enough.
"Let's go back..." Wang Jinxue said subconsciously.
"go back?"
"Well, let's just live the simplest life and run the company well. None of us need to hold on too hard. We can write when we want to and put it down when we don't want to... If you really don't like this sense of restraint, we can travel and travel around the world. I remember this has always been your idea..."
"..." Lu Yuan's heart trembled slightly when he heard Wang Jinxue's very gentle voice.
"When we are tired, we rest; when we are happy, we laugh; when we are sad, we can cry; when we are angry, we can get angry. No one asks us to be strong all the time... and no one asks us to hold on all the time..."
"..." Wang Jinxue's voice continued to echo in Lu Yuan's ears, and Lu Yuan looked at the river in the distance.
The river water is gentle, warm, and clear, reflecting the bright moon in the sky.
"I never asked you to be a hero, and I never thought about what it would be like if you stood on the top of the world. That's too high and too lonely. In my heart, you have never been a musician, pianist, or poet. Your only identity is that you are my husband and the father of our future children. As long as we are together and live happily, that's enough..." Wang Jinxue spoke her heart out very seriously, and then she kissed Lu Yuan lightly on the forehead.
“……”Lu Yuan’s heart trembled slightly.
"Let's go back. Don't let the world give you too much pressure. All the so-called honors, so-called other things, and so-called pressure are not as important to me as being happy... I will always remember that day in my life when a strange boy ran up to me with a script, using the poorest acting skills and a nervous mood to solicit investment... I will also never forget the excited smiles on your and Wei Wuji's faces in front of the barbecue stall, and the expressions that were not concealed at all... You should have been the happiest at that time, but you and Wei Wuji were different. There was always a raging fire and endless ambition in Wei Wuji's eyes, but you didn't. After we got married, I found that the smile on your face gradually became much less..." Wang Jinxue continued to touch Lu Yuan's face.
moonlight.
Very beautiful.
Lu Yuan looked into the distance again.
There is a hazy fog in the distance.
"Can I?"
Lu Yuan was very touched, and then, his original uneasy and slightly depressed mood disappeared without him noticing.
The most sincere voice hit Lu Yuan's body, as if it had turned into a force.
He asked as if he was talking to himself.
As if doubting myself, and as if...
I really want to break free from the shackles.
"What can I do?" Wang Jinxue was stunned.
"I suddenly don't want to escape...I should be able to do it!" Lu Yuan clenched his fists lightly.
"No matter what you do, I will follow you, whether you succeed or fail, whether you move forward or backward!"
"Jinxue, I love you. The biggest bug and the biggest cheat in my life is actually you. Maybe I am the protagonist of the novel?" Lu Yuan suddenly took a deep breath.
"???"
