Inside the Golden Hall.
Lu Yuan glanced at the command draft, then looked down at all the people below who were ready.
Take a deep breath.
Empty yourself of everything and cast aside all distractions.
Then……
Under everyone's gaze, he calmly and gently raised the baton with his right hand, rubbing it very lightly, as if it was lifted slowly by a breeze...
Following right on!
He suddenly grasped the baton in his right hand and swung it down in an instant, and his left hand also swung down in coordination with his right hand.
Then……
“Dangdangdangdang…”
The powerful strings and clarinets played the prelude of "Symphony No. 5", symbolizing the knocking sound of fate, and it bombarded out instantly!
What!
this……
The moment the first note sounded, Edward, who was standing under the stage, stood up instantly. Having participated in the arrangement of the score, he knew that the first note of "Symphony No. 5" would be shocking, but he never expected that the first note of "Symphony No. 5" would be so shocking.
Without any preparation or hint, the sound instantly turned into a terrible impact, hitting Edward's heart hard, causing goose bumps all over his body.
Not only Edward, but also Kennedy and others felt this strong and terrifying knocking force.
They felt their hearts pounding, their brains going blank, their bodies instinctively shaking, fearful, cold, and inexplicably panicked...
When the piano played "Fate", they also felt the shock that hit their souls, but the shock of the piano was far less heart-shaking than the complete version of the symphony!
They suddenly felt that this "Symphony of Fate" could not be played by Brando, at least, Brando could not be allowed to come and listen to it live!
Otherwise, this old man would probably...
No, now is not the time to think about this!
Whether it was Edward, Kennedy or other pianists, they all continued to listen to the following rhythm with the most serious attitude at this moment.
The prelude of "Symphony of Fate" struck twice, as if fate came knocking on the door, and Lu Yuan on the high platform gently closed his eyes.
Immerse yourself, be careful, and be serious!
Distinguish every melody, every state, every detail that he can control, and Lu Yuan even tries hard to let his pores absorb the sounds from all directions.
Then he opened his eyes, his right hand slowly moved, and he returned to his gentle appearance.
When he truly let go of all the pressure and chose to trust everyone, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that commanding was actually an improvement.
Gentle melody, gentle voice, accompanied by a quiet and confessional feeling.
Lu Yuan originally thought that everything would be difficult, but now he finds that he feels like a fish in water.
He even felt that his ears could hear most of the music and distinguish very fine sounds.
The Royal Austrian Orchestra itself is one of the world's top symphony orchestras. Every member of the orchestra is an elite among the elites. In fact, under normal circumstances, there will be no problems even if they rehearse.
Lu Yuan naturally felt much more relaxed.
It's all off to a very good start.
When the "Symphony of Fate" began to surge again, Lu Yuan stretched out his hand again and swung it down. Lu Yuan, who was originally immersed in a good state, suddenly felt his arm stop slightly, and the amplitude of his fall slowed down a little. Then, following such a slow arc, the piccolo chords also stagnated slightly, and then the overall rhythm was a little slower than before...
This is a very slight pause, which generally will not have any impact on the entire "Symphony of Fate". Even some professionals cannot hear it, after all, it is not even a very subtle one-eighth beat.
and……
The only person who has actually listened to "Symphony of Fate" is Lu Yuan.
Although Edward, Kennedy, and others knew the score, they had never actually listened to it, so they didn't know what Lu Yuan wanted to express with this sudden slowdown, or what he wanted to express in "Symphony of Fate".
but……
However, Lu Yuan realized that the tone of the entire "Symphony of Fate" began to change. After this slight feeling of something being wrong, Lu Yuan's entire body of senses began to feel very bad. Every movement felt extremely stiff and extremely disharmonious.
In the end, before the first movement was over, Lu Yuan made a stop gesture.
"Sorry... do it again."
“…”
Lu Yuan closed his eyes and moved his body. He wanted to get rid of the disharmonious and stiff feeling.
After a few minutes, he adjusted himself and opened his eyes again.
"continue!"
At this moment, Lu Yuan felt like he didn't even know what kind of person he was.
The melody of "Symphony of Fate" kept echoing in his mind, but it was incomplete. Lu Yuan could fully feel the joy and freedom in the melody, but after the incompleteness, for some reason Lu Yuan had a feeling of extreme discomfort.
The sound of the symphony sounded again.
Then, not long after, Lu Yuan suddenly felt something was wrong again.
"Sorry, please do it again. There was a flaw in that part..."
“…”
"continue!"
After a while...
"Sorry, try again, no, it's not this feeling, it's my fault."
"continue……"
“…”
“…”
Edward and others in the audience looked at Lu Yuan on the stage silently.
He saw Lu Yuan fail again and again, and start over again and again, and he seemed extremely dissatisfied.
Sweat gradually began to flow from Lu Yuan's forehead, and the sweat wet his eyes, but Lu Yuan's eyes were unusually calm and serious.
In the first few times, Edward could still hear some flaws, but in the following few times, Edward couldn't even hear what was wrong with the "Symphony of Fate". He even didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lu Yuan's conducting.
However, Lu Yuan stopped again and again, feeling something was wrong.
He heard an extremely strong paranoia in Lu Yuan's eyes, and within that paranoia was dissatisfaction.
Bena didn't know what went wrong.
But he still looked at Lu Yuan silently, and the other members of the symphony orchestra also tried hard to follow Lu Yuan's voice and rhythm over and over again.
…
The first day of rehearsal was very unsuccessful.
The first movement of "Symphony No. 5" was not even finished before it was constantly stopped.
Everyone was sweating profusely.
But, strangely, no one had any complaints. Instead, they quietly packed up their own scores and began to think about them seriously.
In their opinion, something worthy of being recorded in the history of music is destined to be not easy, and in their hearts, Lu Yuan's status is extremely lofty and sacred. All they feel is honor and greater appreciation for Lu Yuan's pursuit of excellence. As for other negative emotions.
They didn't.
The same goes for Bena.
When the sunset fell on the land, Lu Yuan packed up his things and walked out of the Vienna State Opera.
"Hello, Mr. Lu Yuan, what do you think about the future of "Symphony of Fate"..."
“…”
"Hello, what do you think about the new director in Hollywood attacking you..."
“…”
"Hello, can you tell me about the results of this rehearsal? Can you reveal it? Can we do a special feature for you?"
“…”
Countless reporters flocked to the scene.
After looking at these reporters, Lu Yuan did not leave without saying a word as he did before. Instead, he showed a very friendly smile and explained some things to the reporters one by one.
In the setting sun, Lu Yuan's smile was very contagious. The reporters who had wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble unconsciously gave up the idea after seeing Lu Yuan's contagiousness and smile.
Lu Yuan didn't know the situation in Hollywood and China. After hearing a director named Jax attacking him and suspected that he was trying to provoke a fight, he didn't care much.
Since his debut, there have been too many random attacks on him, and now Lu Yuan feels that there is no need to respond to them.
After finishing the interview, Lu Yuan slowly got into the car and looked at the surging crowd and the Rhine River in the distance.
He closed his eyes.
…
In the next few days, the rehearsals were unsuccessful. After the success of the first movement, they got stuck on the second movement.
In fact, Lu Yuan had the symphony played from the first movement to the last movement.
There is no problem from the beginning to the end.
But Lu Yuan always felt that something was wrong.
This wrong emotion has been lingering in Lu Yuan's heart.
During the day, Lu Yuan stayed in the Golden Hall. At night, Lu Yuan would work very hard and absorb all kinds of knowledge like a sponge.
Wang Jinxue also noticed that something was wrong with her husband. It seemed that since the first day of rehearsal, Lu Yuan had become a different person...
You can't say that he is possessed, because he looks no different from normal. But if you say that he is not possessed, Wang Jinxue feels as if something paranoid in Lu Yuan's body is being stimulated.
By the evening of August 8, Wang Jinxue finally came to Lu Yuan who was working hard to prepare.
"Lu Yuan..."
"ah?"
"Do you feel like something's wrong with you?"
"Something wrong? Nothing."
"Really?" Wang Jinxue noticed the bloodshot in Lu Yuan's eyes.
She became more convinced.
“…”
At first, Lu Yuan turned around and looked at Wang Jinxue seriously, feeling that there was nothing wrong. But then, under Wang Jinxue's indifferent and gentle gaze, Lu Yuan finally nodded silently.
"Take a break, you look very tired..."
"Really..."
"Let's go for a walk along the Rhine River. The wind there is very comfortable, okay?" Wang Jinxue gently took Lu Yuan's hand.
"good."
Lu Yuan put the manuscript into his pocket, without being stubborn, then took Wang Jinxue's hand and walked out of the room.
He also realized that something was wrong with him.
That is a very unfree and wrong thing to do.
It was as if something huge was controlling him, making it completely impossible for him to vent.
and……
From time to time, the melody of another voice appeared in his mind, distracting him.
However, he couldn't figure out what the sound was.
…
Walking along the bank of the Rhine River, Lu Yuan looked up at the moon.
The evening breeze made him feel very comfortable.
Under the bright moonlight, Lu Yuan held Wang Jinxue's hand and walked slowly forward...
He felt that the uncomfortable feeling in his body disappeared.
At the same time, the unremembered melody began to disappear.
"It's so beautiful here!" Lu Yuan suddenly sighed, "I really want to hold your hand like this for the rest of my life."
"Yes, it's beautiful." Wang Jinxue nodded, "Me too."
The two of them walked forward step by step, quietly and peacefully.
Time goes by little by little...
There are fewer and fewer pedestrians along the river.
Just as the two were about to go back, Lu Yuan looked at the river and for some reason he stopped.
The originally calm expression gradually began to become strange.
He seemed to hear some strange melody again.
Beating his heart.
It made him unable to remember.
"What's wrong?"
"Jinxue... Is there another river in Vienna called the Danube?" Lu Yuan suddenly asked.
"Well, yes, it's not far from here, but it's not as famous as the Rhine. What's the matter?"
"I want to go and see it."
"Hmm? Now?"
"Yes! Right now. How about I go and take a look by myself?"
"Lu Yuan, it's not safe for you to go to the Danube alone late at night... I'd better accompany you. If possible, it would be better to talk to Bena. I'm not very familiar with this place."
"Forehead……"
Lu Yuan looked at Wang Jinxue blankly.
I'm not safe alone, would you please accompany me?
He scratched his head.
I think this is wrong.
etc.
Is it unsafe for me, a man, to be outside late at night?
…
Early morning.
Bena and his group accompanied Lu Yuan to the Danube River.
When Lu Yuan got off the car and saw the Danube River, he suddenly felt as if his head "boomed".
Then...
"Are there any lights?"
"lamp?"
"right!"
Bena looked at Lu Yuan strangely as he took out paper and pen.
Then……
He felt that Lu Yuan's entire mood was completely off...
