Although John could not understand it, it was Jiang Yu’s decision after all. He could only respect it.
When “Wild Horse Hair Parting song” was released, the audience was in an uproar.
Even Bessie was shocked.
She knew that Jiang Yu could play this song, but she did not know that Jiang Yu could play it so well.
It seemed that Jiang Yu had restrained herself a little before.
After the song ended, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Jiang Yu smiled in relief. She took the microphone from the host and bowed politely, saying, “Thank you, everyone, for your applause and for supporting me.”
Jiang Yu walked backstage and John walked over, he said with great approval, “Jiang Yu, I really didn’t expect you to change the song at the last minute. And you changed it to the difficult ‘Wild Horse Parting Mane’. After all, in the piano world, there are only a few people who dare to play this song. You are one of them.”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Actually, I don’t play this song very well. If you listen carefully, you can still tell that I have some shortcomings. But it’s precisely because there are fewer people playing this song that I dare to gamble today.”
“But it’s about the same difficulty as this, but relatively speaking, there are many songs that are relatively easy to get used to. Why did you choose this song?” John was a little puzzled.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Because I’m gambling. The audience here all know that the most difficult song is ‘Wild Horse Parting Mane’. This year’s international tour has already caused some fans to be dissatisfied with you because of my sudden appearance. If I don’t show some strength and still play those simple pieces, I’ll really embarrass you.”
“How is that possible?” John shook his head helplessly.
He said, “I thought you were a talent before, but now I realize that you’re not a talent, but a genius, a rare genius in a hundred years!”
……
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Stop praising me. Have a good rest. The ensemble will be on stage in five minutes.”
When the five-minute break was over, Jiang Yu and John went on stage and took their seats in front of the piano.
At first, everyone was prejudiced and despised Jiang Yu, but after the “Wild Horse Parting Mane”, everyone’s opinion of Jiang Yu had changed. They were even vaguely looking forward to Jiang Yu and John’s ensemble.
Jiang Yu and John did not disappoint the audience, and the ensemble went very smoothly.
A song about the scenery led people to a warm spring breeze, and a song about nature led people to the wide embrace of heaven and earth.
After the performance, Jiang Yu and John stood on the stage, ready to talk about their feelings on the international tour.
John had been on many international tours, so this tour was just a routine for him.
So he casually said, “I’m personally very satisfied with this tour. Not only because of the fans who support me and love me, but also because I found a genius like Jiang Yu. Her strength is far beyond my imagination. Therefore, she is indeed a very good partner for me.”
After John finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Jiang Yu and gestured for her to say a few words.
Jiang Yu took the microphone and was about to speak when she heard the emcee say, “Before Jiang Yu gives her speech, we have another gift for you.”
Jiang Yu was a little taken aback and asked, “What gift?”
The host went down from the stage and took out a trophy. He solemnly handed it to Jiang Yu, he said, “Jiang Yu, John told us from the very beginning that he would specially set up a trophy for you. After the tour is over, he will hand this trophy to you.”
Jiang Yu took the trophy in shock and looked at John with moved eyes.
John smiled, he said, “This is what you should have. Although touring is not a competition and there is no need to give out trophies, you are indeed a rare genius. If I don’t give you a trophy, I feel that the entire piano industry is letting you down.”
John was the most influential master in the piano industry. Since he had said such words to acknowledge Jiang Yu, then Jiang Yu’s strength would definitely not be inferior to those ordinary pianists.
Therefore, thunderous applause erupted from the audience — they were using their own ways to tell Jiang Yu that she was really good.
Jiang Yu was so touched that her nose was a little sore. She said, “Thank you, John. Thank you, everyone.”
