Chapter 55: Is the performance that I have been preparing for for several months going to be ruined just like that?
Backstage, Wen Duo was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Jiang Zuiyue stamped his feet anxiously:
"That guy Lin Ya will do anything to win!"
Zhou Wanqing asked palely:
"Is there no other way?"
Jiang Zuiyue thought about it and asked:
"I remember 'Moonlight Swan' is a piano piece. Is there a piano here?"
Zhou Wanqing nodded: "Someone is performing piano music, so there is a piano. We can just borrow it. It's just..."
Zhou Wanqing hesitated, but still said:
"'Moonlight Swan' is a Grade 6 piano piece, but it's just amateurish and can't be played."
Jiang Zuiyue flipped through the phone's address book, feeling a little worried:
"I know a few pianists, but it would take at least half an hour to get there..."
Wen Duo closed her eyes, her body trembled slightly, and her hands clenched into fists.
Is the performance that I have been preparing for for several months going to be ruined just like that?
"I'll play."
A low and calm voice suddenly interrupted their panic.
Wen Duo suddenly opened her eyes and saw that Ji Huaishen had been standing at the backstage entrance without her knowing when.
His slender figure was against the light, his features were as clear as if carved by a knife, and his broad shoulders and narrow waist were wrapped in a black suit. He exuded an aura that could not be ignored.
"you?"
Jiang Zuiyue looked him up and down, his eyes full of suspicion:
"Can you?"
Ji Huaishen walked up to Wen Duo with steady steps, looking directly at her with deep eyes:
"Grade eight in piano, not high."
"So pretentious." Jiang Zuiyue muttered softly.
Zhou Wanqing on the side said excitedly:
"The difficulty level of the score for 'Moonlight Swan' is only level six, so level eight is definitely enough!"
Wen Duo blinked her big eyes and looked at Ji Huaishen in disbelief.
She had known him for so long but had never known he could play the piano.
In her impression, Ji Huaishen is always busy with work, and the conference room and office are his stage.
So when did he learn it?
Although Ji Huaishen is an illegitimate child, he has been trying every possible way to gain favor with the master since he came back. He is proficient in many arts, such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. However, knowing that Meibao is studying ballet, he practiced piano, violin and other instruments diligently just to accompany Meibao.
[One year of practice wouldn't be enough to make you this good]
[Yeah, so I practiced for ten years]
When Wen Duo saw these barrages floating by, her heart skipped a beat.
ten years?
At that time, she was only 12 years old, and Ji Huaishen was 18 years old. They probably didn't know each other at that time...
Her thoughts were interrupted by Ji Huaishen's voice:
"Is there a piano?"
"have!"
Zhou Wanqing immediately replied:
"I just contacted a performer who brought a piano, and it's not even taken away yet, it's on the side stage!"
Ji Huaishen nodded and turned to Wen Duo:
"Are you ready?"
Wen Duo took a deep breath, met his firm gaze, and suddenly felt a warm current flowing through her body.
She nodded, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised:
"Um."
.........
The audience was still in chaos, with laughter and ridicule all around.
In the midst of this chaos, two staff members pushed a grand piano onto the stage and placed it in the corner.
Before anyone could understand what this meant, all the lights in the venue suddenly went out, plunging the place into darkness.
After a moment of silence.
Sudden.
A string of piano notes as clear as spring water flowed out from the darkness.
Like moonlight penetrating the clouds and falling on the silent lake.
That was the prelude to "Moonlight Swan".
The quarreling stopped and they all looked towards the stage.
There is no stage light, and only one person's playing can be heard.
A beam of cold white soft light lit up at the right moment, illuminating the center of the stage, where a figure stood quietly like an elf under the moon.
She was wearing a pure white ballet skirt, and hundreds of tiny crystals on the hem of the skirt sparkled like stars under the light, shining brightly.
There was a burst of exclamations from the audience.
So beautiful.
It's not just the dance costumes that are beautiful, the people wearing them are even more beautiful.
Beautiful...like an elegant swan.
The piano music continued and the person under the light moved.
She tapped the ground lightly with her toes, her slender neck slightly raised, and her whole body looked like a swan about to spread its wings.
When the piano played the main melody, she began to dance.
Her toes glided lightly across the stage, and every turn and every jump was breathtakingly beautiful.
Her arms were stretched out like swan wings, her neck was long and graceful, and she seemed to have really transformed into a swan in the moonlight.
The piano music blended perfectly with her dance steps, as if they had already collaborated thousands of times.
When Wen Duo made a big jump, the piano sound became passionate; when she slowly bent down, the piano sound became gentle like water.
The whole audience was silent, and everyone was shocked by the beautiful performance.
As the music came to an end, Wenduo slowly bent down and hugged herself with her arms like a swan folding its wings.
The sound of the piano also became soft like water, and the last note was like ripples in the moonlight, gently spreading out and then returning to calm.
The lights gradually dimmed and the whole place fell into darkness again.
Wen Duo maintained the finishing position and could hear his own rapid breathing and pounding heartbeat.
This was her most perfect performance of "Moonlight Swan".
After a few seconds of absolute silence, all the lights suddenly came on.
Wen Duo has stood up and saluted the audience.
For a moment, the whole audience was silent, and then thunderous applause broke out like a tide and lasted for a full three minutes.
Wen Duo stood up, her eyes unconsciously looking for Ji Huaishen.
He stood beside the piano, his black suit making his shoulders broad and his legs long. His handsome face remained expressionless, but his deep eyes were fixed on her, flashing with a light she had never seen before.
When their eyes met in the air, Wenduo felt his heart skip a beat.
Ji Huaishen nodded almost imperceptibly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
It could hardly be called a smile, but it made Wenduo's cheeks suddenly hot.
“So beautiful…”
An elderly lady wiped her eyes and said, "I've never seen Moonlight Swan performed like this before. The piano and dance are so integrated."
Her companion nodded in agreement. "Who's that pianist? His playing is so emotional, it doesn't feel like he's accompanying the dancers at all. It's more like he's having a conversation with them."
"I think these two must have cooperated many times." said another person.
Wen Duo looked at everyone's reactions and knew that she would definitely win this round, so she turned to look at Lin Ya in the audience.
However, Lin Ya's expression didn't change much, instead...
There is a hint of pride.
Lin Ya noticed that Wen Duo was looking at her, so she mouthed the words word by word:
temperature,
Duo,
you,
over,
.
Immediately following.
boom--
An explosion sounded from above Wenduo's head.
