Chapter 1222 Seeking Reconciliation
The Russian boss personally presented the trophy to Lina, shook her hand, and praised her warmly, "Your dance is very beautiful."
"Thank you, thank you," Lina bowed repeatedly. This big man is much more handsome in person than in the news photos and videos!
Gao Yihuai followed closely behind, handed the prize envelope to her, and said to her with a friendly smile, "Thank you for bringing Chinese culture to the Russian ballet stage. You and Mo Zhen are welcome to perform at the Capital Auditorium in China in the future."
The Capital Auditorium is the highest-level performance venue in China. Anyone who can perform in the auditorium can be called a "People's Artist." Shen Mozhen's mother once performed there.
Gao Yihuai was formally inviting her. Lina was flattered and said, "Okay, I will definitely do it."
After shaking hands with the two leaders and taking photos, the first place winners of each project gave their acceptance speeches in turn. The other winners left the stage, leaving only a few "first place winners" on the stage.
At Zhao Wenting's reminder, Lina had already prepared her speech.
Each person's speaking time cannot exceed five minutes. Everyone prepares in advance, and the content of the speeches is similar. They just read out the script and thank everyone they can think of, and the five minutes are almost up.
When it was Lina's turn, she said, "There are so many people I want to thank. If I name them one by one, it will probably take an hour, so I just want to say a simple thank you to everyone who has helped me, including my family, friends and my idol Jason Harmer!"
...
...
She bowed deeply as she spoke, and although her words were illegible, her heart was deep.
"Now, I want to focus on why I decided to participate in the competition with a dance music with Chinese elements. Without this accompaniment, I think it is unlikely that I would win this award. The composer of "Thousands of Returns" is named Huo Ming, who is my Chinese friend."
Huo Ming sat in a very inconspicuous place in the audience. Lina did not fool him. His seat was really far away from Shen Mozhen, and he was surrounded by Russians.
He didn't know Russian and didn't even have anyone to communicate with. He kept filming the performance with his phone, and also filmed Lina presenting the award. When he heard Lina mention his name, he put his phone down in surprise and looked at the girl on the stage.
"I was lucky to hear this piece of music by chance while practicing dancing, and got to know this Chinese composer. He is very talented and has written many famous pieces in China, but people usually don't pay much attention to him and he is shy to appear in front of the camera. I was the first person to hear the melody of "A Thousand Returns", so much so that everyone thought it was a piece Huo Ming wrote for me. But in fact, this piece of music was not originally a ballet piece, but just an imitation of an ancient piece that suited his taste."
Shen Mozhen in the audience was stunned, and she finally realized that Lina was talking to her.
"This song originally did not reflect the feelings of a woman who cannot get the love she wants, but the feelings of a man who quietly pursues the girl he loves. It is a gift from the composer to his favorite girl. Sorry, I stole the love and used the song first, so I want to tell the girl this fact here, because I know that if I don't say it, the shy man will never speak."
"This is my acceptance speech. I wish all the people I love and who love me happiness and joy."
The audience was stunned. They had never heard such an acceptance speech. Rather than a acceptance speech, it was more like a confession of love for a man. People who had seen Lina's performance tried to recall the music and dance. Everything was beautiful. His love was deep but not heavy. He made every audience member who heard the last part come out of their sadness and suddenly feel enlightened. This is something that those purely tragic classical pieces cannot do.
A man who can write such a beautiful song must have a beautiful inner world, and must be generous, cheerful and open-minded.
Liu? heard a foreign audience member nearby say, "How lucky that girl is to be loved by such a good man. The music ends in tragedy. I hope the two can be together in real life."
She glanced at Shen Mozhen, who was silent and expressionless beside her.
Lina didn't mention anyone by name. Seeing that Zhang Pei and Peter looked confused, they were probably the only ones who knew the situation, knowing that she was referring to Shen Mozhen.
