Chapter 18 "Praise of Love"
When going downstairs, Yuan Xiao secretly asked Philip, "Has this happened before?"
"There have been a few times when another personality has appeared before the show." On two occasions, the show had to be postponed because Al didn't cooperate.
"I mean," Yuan Xiao said, "like this time, it appears very frequently."
Philip said that he has never had "Master Royce's spirit is very stable, and another personality usually comes out once every few months."
Yuan Xiao is a little puzzled, so what's going on?
Arrived at the concert hall, the time was just right, but there was no one to help Yuan Xiao, because Bai Wenlin's manager was on vacation in Hawaii, when they called half a month ago, Yuan Xiao was next to him and heard Bai Wenlin let Brokers take a good vacation and don't have to come to Vienna on purpose.
So now around Bai Wenlin, only Yuan Xiao and Philip are the ones who know that he has a dual personality. It's inconvenient to tell outsiders about this situation. Fortunately, Bai Wenlin himself is a cold person. He usually doesn't like to talk, so if he is replaced by Aer Dingbao, as long as he is more calm, he will not reveal his faults and arouse suspicion.
Ke Yuanxiao knew very well that the playing styles of the two personalities were very different.
In the lounge, he glanced at Al next to him and asked Philip, "What should I do?"
Philip found the sheet music, lowered his voice and leaned against Yuan Xiao's ear and said, "If you are willing to cooperate, everything can be said. I am afraid that the current Master Royce will be self-willed." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a fierce gaze.
Immediately afterwards, he was forcibly dragged away by a force.
Philip immediately raised his hands in surrender.
But Al didn't want to see him, he pointed at the door with a sullen face, and told him to go out.
After Philip gave Yuan Xiao a look, he went out, but he couldn't help guessing who Luo Yuanxiao was. As one of the few people who knew the two personalities of Master Royce, he deeply knew these two personalities. One is more eccentric and withdrawn than the other.
This seems to be a common problem for artists.
It makes no sense that they both like the same person.
And it looks very familiar, like an old acquaintance. The problem is that Philip knows the details of Luo Yuanxiao, this eighteen-year-old boy has no possibility of having any acquaintance with their young master.
However, at most Philip would think about it, and would not investigate it seriously. Master Royce told him that he should report to him the actions of his second personality in detail.
As soon as the door was closed from the outside, Al bullied him and hugged Yuan Xiao involuntarily.
Philip, who had just gone out, heard the movement inside.
Yuan Xiao's body slammed into the white rose behind him, and a few petals fell.
This lounge is very small. It is a place for artists to practice piano, tune, and change clothes. It has a long golden table with mirrors, and it is decorated with flowers with morning dew on it. Early this morning, the florists of the city garden decorated the concert hall with flowers early, even in the waiting area.
Al's chin rested on his shoulder, he wiped his ear with one hand, and then leaned in to sniff like a beast. He suddenly got excited, and tightened his arms, as if to let Yuan Xiao melt into his body.
"Cub, now is not the time to be coquettish," Yuan Xiao said with priorities, "The rehearsal is about to start, you have to cooperate well, you can't make mistakes, you know?"
Al didn't know if he understood or not. His head was buried in Yuan Xiao's shoulders. Such a big man was shrouded like a mountain. Yuan Xiao was almost sitting on the long table in front of the vanity mirror, with his back against the mirror. don't know. How many white roses were crushed.
In the fragrance of roses, Yuan Xiao touched his head, which was randomly arched, and said softly, "Let me hold you for another minute. After a minute, we will go out. You play according to the piano score and play it carefully, just treat it as a Play it to me, okay?"
Hearing this, Al was motionless, he gasped deeply, his steel-like arms embraced Yuan Xiao, picked him up, pressed his forehead, Al's eyelashes were drooping, and he made a low "um".
The difference in style between "Hei Luo" and "Bai Luo" can be heard by anyone who knows a little about music. Black Royce is a pure virtuoso, and in the history of music, there are many pianists with unmatched skills but not very musical. It is undeniable that he is a genius. His brilliant skills can attract countless audiences who yearn for magical skills, and the more amazing the performance, the more joyful it is, but it is "Bai Luo" who really makes him famous and tops the international piano scene.
Technically, the two Royce are almost the same, but the one who rarely appears in front of people is enough to be unforgettable just by his clear and transparent performance.
In this regard, it is said that Royce is a schizophrenic or a twin brother, but neither has been confirmed.
During the rehearsal, his completely different style from the past was so distinct that it caught the conductor's attention. It was also the first time that Riccardo saw "Bai Luo". He only heard that he was so curious that he ran to ask. As a result, Al just glanced at him lightly, and then turned to look for Yuan Xiao's figure. .
In the eyes of others, Al's style looks like a megalomaniac, but everyone knows that he has the capital to look down on all beings like this.
At 11:00 a.m. local time, the audience entered one by one, filling the concert hall full of flowers and full of New Year's atmosphere. Yuan Xiao leaned through the back door and couldn't get a ticket, but he could stand and watch at the side door.
Before Al came to the stage, Yuan Xiao arranged his bow tie and cuffs for him, and instructed, "It's enough to follow the bullets completely, and I'll stand here and watch you."
Surrounded by musicians who were ready to go, on the stage, musical instruments and seats were lifted up, and there were many people. At this time, Al suddenly hugged Yuan Xiao again and called out "full."
Everyone around looked over, watching Royce and his "brother" hugging each other.
Yuan Xiao didn't care about other people's reactions, "Hey", and patted his back.
Al closed his eyes, buried himself on his shoulders like a child, and called out "full" again. This is his tone particle, he calls it when he is happy, and also when he is unhappy.
Yuan Xiao whispered, "I'm about to go up, can I hug you later?"
Al said "um".
After the introduction of the narrator, the concert was about to start. Riccardo bowed after he came on stage, turned around and started to conduct with the baton. Happy New Years"
Riccardo stopped immediately, turned around with an expression of sudden realization, and bowed to the audience, "Happy New Year from the Vienna Philharmonic"
There is such a situation every year. This is the tradition of the New Year's concert. Always deliberately forget the blessing, and then pretend to remember it suddenly after the audience reminds it.
Al's position was on the side. From his position, he could see Yuan Xiao standing at the side door and standing in the crowd at a glance. He didn't read or turn the score at all, and he didn't pay attention to the piano. Instead, he kept under the stand.
Yuan Xiao was really frightened and wanted to remind him not to look at himself or the score, but under the live broadcast of so many cameras, he didn't dare to move at all, otherwise, if he was not careful, he would be in the limelight in the TV broadcast.
Fortunately, Al has a camera-like memory, and he can reproduce the score without error by simply listening to it once, or watching it once.
After the repertoire Blue Danube, this year's New Year's concert ended successfully. The conductor took the bouquet and gave it to the violinist. He was going to give another bouquet to Royce. Long legs, step forward.
Yuan Xiao's heart was relieved, but as soon as he relaxed, he saw Al on the side of the stage. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he bent down and picked a freshly scented red rose from the flower basket.
Under the brilliant and gorgeous golden chandelier, he left the curtain call alone and stepped down from the side.
Everyone on and off the stage was shocked.
The conductor's outstretched hand holding a bouquet of flowers froze in the air for a few seconds. The principal cellist stepped forward quickly and received the bouquet.
The two chiefs and the conductor, the three of them arm in arm, looked down the stage with a smile, and the flashing lights of the broadcast media from various countries.
And Al, he went down from the backstage on his side, holding a rose in his hand, crossed the long waiting area, and brought the rose to Yuan Xiao with joy.
