At this time, a musician in the orchestra stood up, and Angela walked over with her skirt and sat down. In front of her was the instrument she was going to play next - the piano!
There was applause from the audience again. Although it was not warm enough, it was enough to express their feelings. With the superb skills shown by the girl on stage, more and more people began to recall her appearance at the Grammy Awards. The song "Infinite Movement", she was only 12 years old at that time! Therefore, in the eyes of the audience, Angela's piano skills are undoubtedly the best. When the girl chooses the piano, it means that the climax of the performance of the guests in this concert is coming.
There are many people who are regretting with anticipation. If Angela had not released a total of pure music EP, and only two songs, maybe the girl would not be outside the classical music circle and become a master. Characters also say not necessarily.
Of course, listening to music is the most important thing now, no matter what! This time, Angela was the first to play. With Ding Dong's piano sound, the orchestra's violin, viola, and cello sang along, and then more and more instruments joined in. Centering on the sound of the piano, other instruments The music surrounds her like a constellation of stars.
Then, a light and melodious violin sound suddenly came in, as if an elegant man walked out of the crowd, came to the beautiful lady, stretched out his hand and invited to dance together, the violin sounded, and the lady agreed At the request of the other party, the two danced gracefully in the field. There was an extremely tacit understanding between men and women, and every movement was coordinated perfectly. The beautiful dance made everyone dazzled.
When the rest was drawn, the applause was so enthusiastic that Beethoven's piano and violin ensemble could be edited like this, which made the audience amazed. It was a real pleasure to play with the girls who played with him so well.
Angela stood up. Facing the audience, he stretched out his arms and bowed slightly in thanks, and the applause gradually resounded again. The girl's excellent performance made people not mind giving her more applause when she left the stage.
But contrary to everyone's expectations, Angela did not leave the stage, but came to Perlman's side with her skirt.
"What else does she want to do?" Someone in the audience asked such a question, does she have a better musical instrument
Soon, the staff around her handed over the musical instrument she needed to use, and that was the violin! The audience murmured inexhaustibly:
"She is best at the violin?"
"She's going to play with Mr. Perlman?"
"What an astonishing night. She can perform at the level just now?"
The voice of doubt rang again. It is not surprising that if you choose the same instrument as the player, if you are not careful, you will become as featureless as the violinist of the orchestra, and can only chase after the player. It is not easy to maintain your own characteristics and cooperate with each other.
However, Angela on the stage had put the violin on her shoulders, still smiling and couldn't tell what she was thinking. Then she and Perlman looked at each other and seemed to be asking each other: Are you ready? Following the two nods to each other, they suddenly put away their smiles and became serious.
The audience also seemed to have noticed the change in the atmosphere, and the whispers gradually became lower, and those who were more sensitive had already guessed what was going to be played.
Sure enough, Perlman's violin slowly flowed out a sad tune, which was the theme song of "Schindler's List". Perlman played for the film's soundtrack, and the melancholy and hopeful tune is moving. The audience was hooked right away.
A few seconds after the tune sounded, Angela also pulled the strings, slightly lower than Perlman, like a twisted vine wrapped around a big tree, closely followed but very conspicuous. The orchestra also played at this time, and the atmosphere of the whole theater became solemn. Perlman's technique easily brought everyone present into the black, white and gray plot of the movie, while Angela's piano sounded. It has become the only color in the black-and-white picture, just like the little girl she played in it, giving people the light of hope.
No matter how the picture alternates black and white, even though the color of hope keeps wandering, it still struggles and never gives up. Until the last moment, the sound of music renders the picture into color! silence! The theater was silent for a long time, as if they were still reminiscing about the moving music, until the first crackle sounded, and then more applause joined in. And then, everyone stood up! The overwhelming applause sounded for 5 minutes! Even if the old and the young on the stage thanked them again and again, it could not reduce the enthusiasm of the audience after enjoying the musical feast. Perfect show!
———
The girl took a handful of water and poured it on her face, then let out a long breath and looked at herself in the mirror. Although she had already removed her makeup, her face flushed with excitement still looked very moving.
"Very good, very perfect," she murmured. "It's not in vain after all this hard work!"
You must know that even if she is involved in various musical instruments, there are only a few really good ones, such as the harp and cello. If it wasn't for the crazy practice as a child before this, it would be impossible to have the performance level at all. Much better, it is similar to the method of playing the bamboo flute, and I was able to distinguish the timbres of the two instruments very well when I was learning. The sensation caused by a song.
"Okay, I have to thank Mr. Itzhak for his love, and actually agreed with my proposals." The girl muttered as she reached out and untied the long hair that was tucked behind her head, shook her head, and her hair fell down. , on the smooth shoulders.
Angela scratched her hair. She really wanted to cut it into short hair like she did when she was filming "The Wire" at the beginning of the year, but after looking at her beautiful and charming face in the mirror, she immediately dismissed the idea, although even her parents said she She looks very heroic after cutting her hair short, but that's all, no one will think she's a man even if she's cut short and put on men's clothes, and—
The girl bent over and lowered her body, and the two plump lumps on her chest immediately fell down. Against the background of the shoulderless low-cut dress, the ditch in the middle was clearly visible!
"Nat, know how much sacrifice I've made to apologize, so don't do that again!" Angela said fiercely in the mirror, "or I'll strip you naked and ravage you!"
You must know that since she put on this dress, she must be worried that the piece on her chest will suddenly collapse, and then it will appear ugly. Fortunately, this kind of thing didn't happen overnight, and fortunately she was immersed in it after the performance started, otherwise she might be embarrassed.
However, apparently the girl didn't really realize where the problem between her and Natalie came from. The most she knew was that things like just now must not be said in front of each other. It's really bad, but don't expect her to wake up now. .
Get out of the bathroom. Angela went straight to the locker room, took off her evening dress two or three times, and put on her original clothes. She followed her out and came to the inner hall of the theater. The musicians of the Los Angeles Philharmonic were sorting out their things. After all, they stayed here, talking in twos and threes, and Angela soon joined in. They may not be masters, but they are the best in the orchestra! People who like classical music have their own self-sufficiency. If you want them to be more enthusiastic, you can only get their approval.
Angela is like this. After Perlman agreed to her request, the current conductor of the orchestra, Arthur Previn, expressed his opposition, and most people in the orchestra thought it was too exaggerated. Keep up the music level? But after the first rehearsal, those doubts vanished and the girls got their friendship.
Soon, Perlman, who had also changed his clothes, was pushed in in a wheelchair, along with the orchestra conductor Previn. People stopped talking and cast their eyes on them. Perlman gently He coughed and looked at everyone: "Gentlemen and ladies, I'm very glad that tonight's concert was a success. I would like to thank you all for your support. Thank you!"
People applauded, and so did Angela.
"Of course, I also want to thank Miss Angela. I think inviting her to be my performance guest should be one of my best decisions." Perlman said, pointing to the girl in the crowd, and people's eyes immediately turned to her, Then applaud again.
"Thank you, thank you everyone." Angela came out a little embarrassed and smiled at the people, "In fact, without everyone, there would be no perfect performance today, I just did what I should do and what I'm good at - oh , not singing, nor dancing."
There was laughter in the crowd, and Perlman also laughed: "Okay, Angela is always so humble, but it's true, without any of you, today's performance will not be perfect, it's a pleasure to be with you Cooperation, thank you again!"
The applause sounded again, and he waved to everyone in the inner hall, and then Angela took the handle of the wheelchair from Assistant Perlman and pushed him out in person.
"What do you think, Angie?" In the passage to the exit, Perlman raised his head slightly and suddenly asked.
"Very good, I learned a lot, I believe it is very useful to me." The girl replied with a smile.
"Then... you really don't think about it?" The violin master sighed, "You are excellent, my dear, I have never seen a child as gifted as you, who can not only master every instrument, but also have Your own understanding, especially the piano and violin, but that's exactly what your problem is."
"There's so much food in your mouth that you probably won't be able to taste anything delicious in the end, right?"
"Well, funny analogy, but it's true, if you put all your energy into one or both, I think you'll do more than a lot of people."
"Yes, I also believe, Mr. Itzhak..." Angela bit her lip and shook her head after a while, "But for me, my heart is not on this, I like music and love music, whether it is popular or classical. or something else, as long as it touches my heart; I also love to play, to play music that touches my heart, but it's just a part of my life, and... many other things that I think are more important I'm going to try, so... I'm sorry."
Perlman was silent for a moment, sighed again and nodded: "Okay, then I can only say sorry, but I sincerely hope you can go further on this."
"Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Itzhak, in fact, in my heart, you are already my teacher." Angela said with emotion, "I have benefited a lot from getting along during this time, I think I will never will forget."
At this time, the theater manager, Mr. Kirk and Sparrow, hurried over with two people: "Hi, Mr. Perlman, Miss Angela, there may be a little trouble outside now."
"What happened?" the girl asked, looking at the two big white men following Sparrow at the same time, tall and strong, no matter how they looked like bodyguards, where did Ryan Stein go
"A lot of reporters came outside, blocking the door." Mr. Kirk said with a wry smile. As for why, it's obvious.
"Well, it's interesting, it seems that Angie is more famous than me." Perlman made a small joke, and the girl rolled her eyes helplessly: "Mr. Kirk, can we go through the back door?"
"I'm afraid not, Angie." Sparrow shook his head. "Ryan has parked the car outside, as has Mr. Perlman's car. So we can only go through the front door."
Then he leaned over and pointed to the bodyguard behind him, and whispered to the girl, "Don't worry, Mr. Jared has already arranged the manpower, it's just a short walk."
"But Mr. Itzhak..." Angela frowned, but Perlman interrupted her: "It's okay, Angie, I think their attention should be on you, right?"
"...Okay, then let's move as fast as possible." The girl could only reply.
out the door. The rattling sounds all around continued, and the reporters stretched out the microphones like asking about bloody sharks:
"Miss Angela, Miss Angela, do you have anything to say about being Mr. Perlman's guest performer?"
"Miss Angela, how did you do it, you can use different instruments to perfectly match the performance."
"Miss Angela, do you plan to give up pop music and develop classical music in the future?"
What are these problems? Except the last one is slightly better. Although Angela sneered in her stomach, she had to put on a smile on the surface, but she didn't answer a question, and walked to her car under the two bodyguards. Some clever reporters couldn't see anything, and immediately turned their guns and began to ask Perlman who was walking to the other side:
"Mr. Perlman. How did you think of inviting Miss Angela as a guest performer?"
"We met while filming Schindler's List in '92, and I was so surprised by the musical talent she showed, so I invited her."
"So what do you think of Miss Angela?"
"Well... I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry she didn't behave well enough?"
"No, I'm sorry she's not my student!"
Soon, as more and more reporters began to ask questions, Perlman was a little too busy, so he had to shut his mouth and got into the car with the help of his assistant.
Because the reporter was diverted, Angela finally got into the car. After the car started, she finally let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed, but unfortunately she did not officially say goodbye to Perlman.
A few minutes later, the phone ringing came from Sparrow's arms. The agent took out the mobile phone and listened to it, and then handed it to Angela: "Mrs. Elena's phone."
The girl picked it up immediately: "Hi, mom, where are you and dad?"
"Honey, we're behind you." Her mother's soft voice came from the phone, and Angela hurriedly looked out of the rear window of the car. In the distance, she could vaguely see her father's car under the street lights.
"I saw you, Mom!"
"Did you see it? Honey, there were at least 3,000 people in the theater. You did."
"Please, dear mother, I mean to see your car! How could I pay attention to the situation under the stage when I was playing!" The girl rolled her eyes, and then asked excitedly: "By the way, I How are you playing?"
"Awesome, dear, it's perfect, my dad and I think so, you're our pride!"
"Thank you, Mom, I'm so glad to hear you say that. Well, let's talk about it when we get home." Angela said and hung up the phone. After thinking about it, she picked up the phone and wanted to play, but only It stops after a few keystrokes, please, New York is 5 time zones from Los Angeles, and Natalie is probably asleep now, so let's wait until tomorrow, should... No problem, right? !
