Fascinating

Say your best wishes with ease

Hope for you

Always and always smile, always happy

……”

Chen Feng's self-created "Hope" has popular sentences, beautiful melodies, catchy, and it is also very suitable for the occasion.

"One more song!" I don't know who shouted in the audience, and immediately got the echo of everyone, and the dinner party, which originally seemed a little strict, seemed very lively.

Chen Feng, who had already gotten up and wanted to step down, saw this scene, but he didn't have stage fright, but just gave a slight salute to the audience. And Zhong Wuhua also stepped onto the stage at the right time, and said with a smile to Chen Feng: "Long, your sister, I also want you to perform another show for her." ”

Chen Feng nodded with a smile, took the microphone from his hand, and the lively scene immediately quieted down.

"Since everyone is so elevated to me, then let me perform another show for you, I hope you can like it."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he walked back to the steel. Sitting down in front of the piano, this time I didn't think about it first, and directly began to play the piano song "The Maiden's Prayer" very smoothly. This piece is the work of the Polish pianist Badatewska, the style is simple and beautiful, but most of her works are unknown, only this piece is one of the most popular piano pieces in the world...... Its structure is simple, simple and simple, but intimate and touching, although slightly sad, but also unusually soft, vividly expressing the beautiful wishes of a pure girl. It is worth mentioning that she was only 18 years old when she wrote this "Maiden's Prayer", and she unfortunately passed away at the age of 24, but her exquisite sketch is enough to make her only short life last for centuries.

Chen Feng himself is also very interested in this piece. I like it, and this song is more appropriate, and the main thing is that he wants to be lazy, so he plays it directly.

And Chen Feng is obviously on his own now steel. The piano level is very confident, in front of many musicians on the scene, it is very smooth and natural to show the meaning of this "Boy's Prayer", so that everyone listens to this song, there is a kind of immersion, and they see a beautiful girl standing in front of the moonlight windowsill praying to the moon.

At the end of the song, everyone at the scene once again gave warm applause. This. Returned, after Chen Feng played, he stood up directly, nodded to the only one of the people and returned to his original seat.

Li Ningning immediately jumped happily from his seat, jumping and jumping. ran over and hugged Chen Feng, and said happily: "Brother, the song you just now is so good, thank you!" When I celebrate my birthday next year, I want you to sing for me. ”

What else can Chen Feng say about this cute cheap sister, only. He nodded with a wry smile.

Chen Feng hugged him back. When it came to the seat, Li Zekai was very surprised and admired and said: "Chen Feng, I only thought that your guitar played well, but I didn't expect your piano to play so well, although I don't understand it very well, but I think your level is not bad compared to the pianist who has won international awards before." ”

"Yes, Chen Feng, I didn't expect your piano to be so good." Li Zeju's wife Wang Liqiao also looked at Chen Feng with appreciation, she still knows a little about the piano, and knows what kind of effort it takes to practice to Chen Feng's current master-level level, she thought that Chen Feng had been practicing the piano since he was a child, of course, she didn't expect that Chen Feng had only been practicing the piano for two or three years.

Chen Dayong pretended to be modest and said: "My son, this piano plays a little better than ordinary people." You don't have to compliment him, if you compliment him, I'm afraid his tail will go to the sky. ”

Sir Li couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Dayong, you are too strict with Xiao Feng, in my opinion, Xiao Feng is not the kind of person who gets carried away, besides, even if he really cocks his tail to the sky, it is natural for him." I'm sure no one would find it so inappropriate. ”

When Chen Dayong heard this, of course, he only had to giggle, his son was praised not once or twice, but he was praised by Li Ka-shing, a figure he had always admired before, this feeling was of course very different, and he was proud to listen to it once.

As he spoke, someone came over with a wine glass to toast to the people at their table, but it was the bald middle-aged man from before.

"Sir Li, in addition to toasting your whole family this time, and by the way, complimenting Ning Ning for his long life and no illness and disaster, I also toast to a few people at the same table with you, and please help me introduce me." The bald middle-aged man said politely.

Li Ka-shing smiled very heartily and introduced to several people at the same table: "This is the chairman of Xinhong Base Real Estate Company, Guo Binghui. Binghui, this is Long's father Chen Dayong, mother Chao Xiaolan, and the others must not be introduced by me. ”

Guo Binghui said with a smile: "Shuqing, I naturally recognize her, speaking of which, her husband Brother Chenyu is still my classmate." I went to their wedding. ”

"Oh, I didn't expect you to have such a relationship with Ms. Cai." Li Ka-shing said with some surprise.

"yes. It's a pity that my classmate died young, and I still feel a little sad when I think about it. Guo Binghui sighed, and then immediately said, "But Shuqing is also a heroine among women, and the Feiyi Publishing House founded by Brother Chen Yu is impressive, and now her career is thriving, and she has become Fengchen's agent, envious of others!" ”

Cai Shuqing smiled indifferently: "Brother Guo is polite, how can my little fussy career compare with you, a rich man?" ”

Guo Binghui waved his hand and said, "Shuqing, you are too modest. If nothing else, let's just talk about how the Homeland Foundation, which is now presided over by you, is still a small fight. ”

Seeing that the Homeland Foundation was concerned, Cai Shuqing was a little embarrassed. And Guo Binghui immediately toasted to Chen Dayong's family: "It's a pleasure to meet your family tonight, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, I have already heard about Mr. Chen's prestige, after all, I and Mr. Chen are peers, especially, Mr. Chen has made a great deal in the coastal area of East China over the years, and the real estate developed is all hot, and your Xingwang Group has also been recognized by the industry as the largest private construction group in East China." Just like Mr. Chen's current Huafu real estate development in Pudong, Shanghai, this piece of land has been coveted by our Xinhongji for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be obtained by Mr. Chen in the end. Hehe, I'm not unhappy about this, after all, in business, I still appreciate Mr. Chen's business skills very much. Perhaps, we will have a chance to cooperate with each other in the future, right? ”

Chen Dayong smiled very boldly and said, "I have been famous for a long time, Mr. Guo, I didn't expect to meet you here today." Here, let's have a toast. ”

Chen Dayong stood up as he spoke, and raised a glass to Guo Binghui to invite. Guo Binghui didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and clinked glasses with Chen Dayong with a smile on his face. Both of them looked at each other and smiled, and then drank it all.

Chen Dayong put down the wine glass, took the initiative to take out a gold-plated business card from his arms, handed it to Guo Binghui and said: "I like to make friends the most in my life, there is a way for many friends and many roads, not to mention that in my opinion, our two companies will have a lot of complementary places in the future, and they can work together and develop together." ”

Guo Binghui's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, he took Chen Dayong's business card with both hands, and hurriedly took out his business card and handed it to Chen Dayong with both hands. ”

Both of them shook hands with some words.

Maybe he saw that the faces of the Li family at the same table were a little bad, Guo Binghui didn't stay any longer, and said to Chen Dayong "contact often in the future", and after nodding to Zhao Xiaolan and Chen Feng, he disappeared automatically.

"Brother Chen, don't blame me for not reminding you, Guo Binghui's reputation in our circle is not very good. If you work with him, be careful. Li Zeju reminded.

"Thanks, I'll be careful." Chen Dayong smiled slightly, filled his empty glass with wine, and toasted Li Ka-shing, "Our family will probably return to the mainland tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Here, I will first say goodbye to you, and in the future, if you have time, you will come to our Xiuzhou to play. ”

"Okay!" Li Ka-shing agreed, "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will go to Xiuzhou to have a look, speaking of which, I am still a little curious about Xiuzhou, a place that has given birth to countless wealthy businessmen." ”

Chen Dayong shook his head and said: "It's not that my own family despises my own family, the vast majority of our rich businessmen in Xiuzhou are nouveau riche, and most of them are opportunistic and take advantage of the loopholes in our domestic system to make a fortune. ”

Everyone, including Chen Feng, didn't expect Chen Dayong to say such philosophical words. Chen Feng deeply agreed with his father's point of view.

"Dayong, you can see clearly that this is really not easy." Li Ka-shing exclaimed, "To be honest, your wealthy businessmen in Xiuzhou really don't have a good reputation in the outside world, and they always give people the feeling of being too shrewd, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage." ”

Chen Dayong nodded in agreement.

At this time, a few more people came over to toast. In addition to congratulating Li Ningning, the little birthday star, of course, he also wanted to get close to Chen Feng's family. What made Chen Feng feel slightly surprised was that it was obvious that these people who came to toast were looking for their father more than him. Chen Feng was surprised at the same time, but also very curious, his father's current fame even knew about these celebrities in Hong Kong.

However, there were a few more people who came to toast immediately, they were Faye Wong, Andy Lau, and two musicians, one of them is a singer singing opera, and the other is a pianist, which is Huang Yilun, who won the grand prize in the international competition that Li Zekai said before, three women and one man. They were obviously all coming for Chen Feng.

Sure enough, after the four of them routinely greeted everyone and said a string of auspicious words to the Li family, Huang Yilun said to Chen Feng: "Long, we are very excited and honored to watch your performance live this time, and I feel especially surprised and surprised that I didn't expect your piano level to be so high." In my opinion, your current piano level is almost the same level as Lang Lang. ”

Who is Lang Lang? Chen Feng certainly knows that this young talented pianist, who is only 19 years old this year, took the stage in a dramatic emergency to replace a well-known pianist who was unwell at a music festival star recital in 1999 and performed Tchaikovsky's "Piano Concerto No. 1" with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by the famous maestro Eschenbach. Sure enough, when the last note was played, the audience stood up and cheered, and the thunderous applause lasted for a long time. This successful temporary replacement performance was greatly praised by the Chicago Tribune, one of the three major newspapers in the United States, praising "Lang Lang as the greatest and most exciting piano genius in the world".

Although Chen Feng is confident in his piano level, he is not confident enough to be comparable to Lang Lang, a genius specializing in piano, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Ms. Huang praised it, how can my current level be comparable to this piano genius?" ”

"Long, I have listened to Lang Lang's performance live, and in my heart, although you are still a little inferior to him in terms of technique, in my opinion, this point is almost negligible, and most importantly, I heard your confidence, talent and a spirit of music from your playing just now." The more Huang Yilun spoke, the more excited he became, "Actually, you can really become a young pianist like Lang Lang, not just a pop star, you should be a real musician." And, I'm sure you are now. ”

Everyone didn't expect this famous female pianist in Hong Kong to attach so much importance to Chen Feng's piano level, most of them thought that although Chen Feng played well, it would still be worse than those masters. But now listening to Huang Yilun's meaning, Chen Feng is already a master.

Seeing that the other party praised himself so much, Chen Feng had no choice but to smile and say, "Ms. Huang, thank you for the compliment, I will continue to work hard in the future." ”

"Long, your talent in music is so enviable! Besides, you're so young now. Huang Yilun said with admiration on his face.

"I also agree with this very much, in addition to his proficiency in the piano, his voice is also very good, with the potential of a singer, if he can develop in the field of opera bel canto, maybe he will become the second Pavarotti in the future." A female singer named Lei Roushu echoed.

At this time, Andy Lau, the only man among the four, also laughed and said: "Long, he is a genius among geniuses, which is recognized by the world." At this point, I am also a singer, but I am envious and jealous! Long, I'm really curious, how did you manage to create so many popular songs in English? According to media reports, you've never been abroad before you became a long. ”

For Andy Lau, an evergreen tree in the Chinese music scene, Chen Feng still likes it, and he couldn't help but smile when he heard it: "Didn't you just say it, I am a genius among geniuses, in fact, I know this, even if I am humble, others will think so, and I am indeed a very genius in language, I began to teach myself English when I was seven or eight years old, and at present, I am still learning French, Japanese and Italian, and I am making good progress." I believe that in less than a year, I will be able to master these other three languages. So, because of my genius in language, and because I am also a genius in music, the combination of the two naturally creates excellent English songs. ”

"I see!" Everyone looked suddenly enlightened, including Chen Dayong and his wife, who also looked at him curiously as if they were knowing their son for the first time.

"It's no wonder." Andy Lau shook his head and sighed self-deprecatingly, "When I was seven or eight years old, I was still playing with mud, but I didn't expect you to be already learning English by yourself." Genius really has to work hard! ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

After everyone finished laughing, Faye Wong, who looked cool, suddenly said: "Long, I like your song "AreYoutheOne" very much, I admire your creative level very much, if you can, I want to ask you to write a song for me as the title song of my next album." ”

His request really made Chen Feng a little embarrassed, but in his previous life, Chen Feng also liked this maverick and very individual "Sister Wang" very much, and after a little silence, he nodded with a smile: "OK, no problem." If you're not in a hurry, I'll write a song for you in two months. ”

Faye Wong didn't have much hope, but after she suddenly made this request just now, she felt a little abrupt and uncertain, but she didn't expect Chen Feng to agree. This made her, who originally looked like an ancient well without waves, couldn't help but be full of excitement, and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you!" Thank you! Long, I really didn't expect you to agree to my request, it's really ...... I was so pleasantly surprised...... Thank you! ”

"I'm also a fan of yours, and it's actually my honor to write songs for you." Chen Feng said politely. In his heart, he could only say sorry to her, his so-called writing songs for her, of course, was to "create" the songs she hadn't released in the next few years in advance. "The wool comes out of the sheep", Chen Feng just started to write, and spent a few minutes recording the scores of her songs in her memory.
