Chapter 507
"A Thousand Years" can be translated as a thousand years, or a thousand autumns. It is an interlude in the movie "Twilight", a love story between vampires and humans.
It can be called the Mary Sue of the European and American version. Although the routine is old, this type of story is very popular.
As a movie theme song, "A Thousand Years" was not particularly popular at the beginning, and it did not enter the top ten on the music charts in Europe and the United States, but it has a strong long-tail effect.
Especially in the UK, where it stayed on the singles chart for a total of two years.
The commercial performance was even more explosive, receiving diamond certification in the United States, which means sales of 10 million copies, platinum certification of 3 million copies in the United Kingdom, and record sales certification in some other European countries.
Because this song served as the background music for the wedding of the male and female protagonists in the movie, and later became the song played by many people at weddings in real life, it can be said to be the author's retirement song for his annual fixed income.
The song originally used more classical piano and string music as the main accompaniment. For Lu Qingfeng today, it is not difficult to adapt it into a pure music trio form.
When the song was brought out during rehearsal, Si Hanyun liked it very much and put a lot of effort into practicing it.
During this period, she often communicated with Lu Qingfeng and also went to find the teacher who had been teaching her cello. Her hard work paid off. When the cello sounded, even the audience who knew little about this instrument could notice a significant improvement compared to her previous performance.
The delicate hand movements and focused expression allow people to feel the emotions she pours into it through the lens.
【To be frank, there's really nothing to say this time. 】
My breakthrough in piano skills was so unexpected, it felt like I had come across a piece destined for me.
I agree with the previous one. It's like going to a KTV and singing. There's always a song that you can sing with special feeling.
Liu Qianya and Lu Qingfeng, two champions, were willing to play support. This stage could become Si Hanyun's masterpiece. Fellow cello students are envious.
……
This time, Lu Qingfeng adapted the song in the form of a trio, with the piano, cello, and violin performing the main melody in turn. At the 50th second, he withdrew his gratified gaze from Si Hanyun, placed his bow on the violin, and took over the baton of melody from the girl's hand.
Compared to the rich and full timbre of the cello, the sound of the violin is high-pitched and clear. The sound of the violin comes in smoothly and then unfolds like flowing water.
The progressive melody creates a calm, intimate, whisper-like narrative with little ups and downs, and is gentle and plain.
Then it enters a stage dominated by piano, with a series of chords that are like undulating waves, bright, open, and warm, like an embrace with open arms, repeating over and over again, and the emotions are mobilized accordingly.
At one minute and sixteen seconds into the melody, the main instrument returns to the violin, and the music begins to ascend in a distinct stepped pattern, with each phrase of notes rising higher than the last, like climbing stairs, accumulating the emotional outburst point.
In this section, Liu Xiya's piano and Si Hanyun's cello steadily set off Lu Qingfeng, and the bright and brilliant piano sounds seemed to describe the bright future of the two people.
Finally, the whole song reached its breaking point.
The three instruments play at the same time, moving in unison, and the three different timbres interweave with each other in a harmonious and beautiful way.
The melody also breaks the previous stability and introduces a leap-forward performance, which, combined with the powerful appeal of the three piano sounds on the stage, expresses the open and passionate emotions to the fullest.
So sad, yet so bright!
Just like love, fragile yet firm.
Finally, the stage ended with the performance of cello and the lingering sound of piano.
There was warm applause at the scene and the live broadcast platform was flooded with comments.
[I was so moved that I got goosebumps.]
