The starry sky on summer nights is quiet and gentle, and the depth of the starry sky is where people place their romance and thoughts. But tonight, the starry sky is so brilliant, like a magnificent epic picture.
The ancient picture scroll stretches out in the boundless starlight, opens slowly in this glorious era, and opens slowly in the brilliant bird's nest. The opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Part 2 - The Glory Era.
With green lights flowing around him, Zhuo Yang was dressed in white in the center of the venue, playing the same white piano. The first program in the next chapter is "Starlight" in which he participated. The piece Zhuo Yang is playing is called
"The Stars Shine".
Zhuo Yang returned to Beijing one week before the opening ceremony and came to the organizing committee to report. There were more than 20,000 performers in the entire opening ceremony. Zhuo Yang was the last to report among all domestic and foreign stars. It was not that he was playing tricks.
Big name, because of his busy schedule, he communicated with director Zhang Yimou in advance.
Lao Mouzi's registered residence is from Guangxi, but as everyone knows, he is an international celebrity who came out of the yellow land of Shaanxi. When he met Zhuoyang that day, Lao Mouzi directly chatted with him in Shaanxi dialect.
Zhuo Yang has watched a lot of movies. Two movies are played every week in the auditorium in the compound. The internal ticket price is two yuan. Most of them are theme movies or war movies, but there are also other commercial blockbusters. When he first entered high school,
One weekend, Zhuo Yang and his whole family went to see Director Zhang's "My Father and Mother".
He was still young at that time and had no feelings for this kind of film about love, but his father Zhuo Tongtong's evaluation of the film left a deep impression on him. His father said that if you compare it with the just-released "Titanic", you will know that
"My Father and Mother" tells a very standard Eastern or Chinese-style love, while "Titanic" is a complete interpretation of the essence of Western-style love.
The story told in "Titanic" has ups and downs, but "My Father and Mother" received higher praise from my father. He loved Lao Mouzi so much that he also praised Lao Mouzi.
As the chief director, in order to achieve perfection, Zhang Yimou naturally hoped that every performing star would report in as early as possible, but Zhuo Yang arrived late only one week before the opening ceremony, and he really couldn't say anything.
In fact, at the beginning, the performer of the eight-minute "Starlight" was selected by another young pianist who had become famous in the country in the past two years. However, just after the list was submitted, instructions came from above, requiring
Change the performer of "Bright Star" to Zhuo Yang.
Lao Mouzi was all-powerful in this regard. The young pianist was selected because of his background and someone else's advice. But now Zhuo Yang's side obviously has a bigger background. The news that Lao Mouzi got was that 'directly to heaven'
Listen. In this way, Director Zhang took advantage of the situation. And even in terms of performance level and international reputation, Zhuo Yang was indeed more suitable.
So Zhuo Yang called and said he would report in later, but Director Zhang didn't even dare to say a word.
Just looking at the song "Bright Star" itself, ten minutes would be enough for Zhuo Yang, not to mention a week. When he got the music score and performance requirements four months ago, he only played it twice and he was already very proficient.
and found the feeling.
"Starlight" is a piano piece specially composed for the opening ceremony by Mr. Chen Qigang, the chief music designer of the opening ceremony and a Chinese musician living in France. The style of the music is soothing and romantic. In fact, it follows a popular path. There is no difficulty in playing it. It is an amateur
Pianists have no problem at all.
Chen Qigang is a close disciple of the late famous French piano master Messiaen. He also wrote the theme song of this year's Olympic Games "You and Me".
In this week, Zhuo Yang conducted a total of four rehearsals. The key is to coordinate with the live stage lighting, fireworks and other elements. Each show is a large group performance. Zhuo Yang's "Starlight" is just one part of "Starlight"
components.
.
This magnificent night in the Bird's Nest was the most successful and splendid opening ceremony performance in the history of the Olympic Games. More than one billion people around the world watched this event.
In the TV camera, Zhuo Yang gently touched the keys with a smile on his face, and the light and beautiful sound flowed from his fingertips. August 8th was the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and it was also the opening ceremony of the beautiful Christine...
Josephine's birthday.
Today is her nineteenth birthday. Coco is curled up on the sofa barefoot at home in Vaduz, staring at the TV and looking at Zhuoyang. The noon sun shines in through the gaps in the beech trees outside the window, and is scattered on the floor inside the window.
Like blooming roses.
Coco is filled with joy but feels helpless when watching the carefree Zhuoyang brother on TV.
——Brother Zhuoyang, I walked around Hannover, but I couldn’t see you. I also ran to Milan and Como, and walked around, but I still couldn’t see you. What do you think I should do? Can you think of something?
good?
——Today is my birthday, and the day before yesterday is your birthday. Brother Zhuoyang, you are already 23 years old, isn’t your mother urging you to find a girlfriend?
August 2008 is a month when flowers are in full bloom. The long-awaited flower of love will surely bloom in this month.
.
Zhuo Yang didn't know that there was an unparalleled girl who had been waiting for him for six years, nor did he know that the flower of love he was most looking forward to was about to bloom brilliantly in his heart. At this time, he was closing his eyes slightly, intoxicated in "The Starry Star"
》Among them.
This is a piano variation with a soothing and gentle romantic color, with a glorious and vast atmosphere. Although the form of the music is simple, it is precisely because of its simplicity that everyone can intuitively understand the emotions and narratives it contains.
Zhuoyang is someone who has seen big events. Even if it is so grand and eye-catching today, he will not be nervous at all. He already knows the playing skills and rhythms well, and after four months of repeated practice, he can perform well.
There will be problems. Even if Zhuo Yang is asked to play with one hand, there will be no mistakes. I am afraid that if he is asked to use a chopstick to play, he will be completely fooled.
During these eight minutes, Zhuoyang's mind wandered, and he recalled everything he had experienced during the six years of studying abroad. Six years ago today, he set out from Xi'an and embarked on a thousand-mile journey to study and also embarked on the road to football.
Zhuoyang thought back to the people and things he had met in the past six years, and what his father had said to him in these days. He also thought about what Jiushan, Haiyang and Lao Mu had said, and he thought of Cheng Hao's words.
At the end of "Starlight", hundreds of dancers with green fluorescent lights built a jasper-like bird's nest model in the center of the towering Huabiao venue. The beautiful night sky was rendered colorful by fireworks. Zhuo Yang raised his head and opened his eyes.
He closed his eyes and looked at the stars in the sky. His eyes were clear and enlightened.
