I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

It is not yet seven o'clock in the evening, but the concert hall located in Edinburgh Place in Central is now magnificent.

The circular concert hall had 2,090 seats, and it was packed. In the center of the concert hall stood a brand new Steinway piano.

The guests tonight were all high-ranking government officials, celebrities, nobles, and some people from the music industry. They all dressed up!

There are cameras set up in the corridors of the concert hall, and TVB and commercial radio stations will broadcast everything here live to the outside world.

Jingyi wore a blue and white cheongsam, with her smooth black straight hair tied up in a bun. She stood in the most conspicuous position in the concert hall and had a cordial conversation with Governor MacHolly and his wife beside her.

At this time, the lights in the concert hall gradually dimmed. Everyone present knew that Lou Jingyi's solo concert was about to begin.

"Your Excellency Governor Murray MacLehose, Mrs. Teresa Teresa, distinguished guests! Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It is an honor for you to come to this concert hall to attend my music evening. I will do my best to present you with a musical feast tonight. Thank you all!"

Jingyi walked to the microphone, bowed several times, and then gave an opening speech in both Chinese and English. She was a soloist in this performance, and there was not even an emcee.

As soon as she finished speaking, Governor MacLehose and his wife led the applause. They were both music lovers, especially the piano.

Jingyi walked to the piano and sat down. She opened the piano music score in front of her and introduced the piece she was about to play into the microphone placed horizontally next to the piano.

"The first piano piece at the beginning of tonight is my winning piece in this competition. When I was studying in the United States, I was moved when I visited the World War II Memorial. So I composed this piece of music, and I hope you will like it. This piece of music is based on the theme of three chords and creates...!"

Jingyi introduced her experience in creating the piece and the characteristics of the piece, and then started this musical journey!

She prepared fifteen piano pieces for this evening, including her own thirteen famous pieces and two of Chopin's masterpieces, "Winter Wind" and "The Torrent".

Every time she finished playing a piece of music, she would receive long and lasting applause. She had no choice but to stand up and bow to thank the enthusiastic audience every time.

"What are the current ratings?" The director of TVB's live broadcast asked the staff below.

"The audience rating has reached 68 percent and is still growing. I didn't expect that a solo piano concert would attract so many families to watch." The staff below exclaimed.

This audience rating is 68%, which means that 68% of households with televisions in Hong Kong are watching the live broadcast of this music evening.

Although the TVB went bankrupt three years ago, and now there are only five TV channels in Hong Kong that can be watched. But it is very difficult to get a rating of over 50%. Last year, when TVB premiered the popular TV series "Shanghai Beach", the rating was only 61%.

Lou Zhenguo also received an invitation to the music evening, and he attended with his wife Lou Song Wanyi. Because they were seated in the back row, his wife kept complaining quietly.

"We are relatives of Jingyi, why should we sit in the back? I can't even see Jingyi's face! Look, all the people sitting in the front are foreigners, can they understand?"

Lou Zhenguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry! When they lived in Lou Mansion before, his wife had never been so fond of Jingyi. Now that she's famous, she starts to flatter her? Women are just short-sighted!

The solo music evening lasted for almost two hours. Jingyi ended the evening with the last song "Castle in the Sky".

A girl came running over holding a big bouquet of flowers. Jingyi waited for her to remove the flowers that were covering her face, and saw that it turned out to be Sister Lijun who gave her the flowers.

She took two bows in succession, holding flowers in her hands. The lights in the concert hall gradually brightened, and the audience began to leave one after another.

TVB also ended the live broadcast. Jingyi was about to return to the backstage when a group of people from the music industry gathered around her.

"I came to the Music Association these two days to discuss important matters." The speaker was President Liang of the Music Association, and his words were very concise.

"Ms. Jingyi, do you need to release another music album? We at Times Records are willing to help." The person who spoke first was the director of Times Records.

The music album released globally five years ago had sales of more than three diamonds in one year, making Warner Music a huge profit. This time, Time Records couldn't let go of the opportunity.

"David, why are you everywhere? We at Warner have already had a contract with Miss Jingyi, so just give up!"

Bearded Bill glared at his old rival fiercely! Era Records is also an international record company, headquartered in North America, and is in competition with Warner. Jingyi can't be snatched away by them, otherwise Warner headquarters will tear him apart.

"Let's talk about this later! I need to go backstage, so I'll have to excuse myself for a moment."

Jingyi didn't want to listen to their quarrel. After all, she was a little tired after playing the instrument with full concentration for two hours. She politely said goodbye and walked to the backstage lounge with Sister Lijun.

"Now that you've made a strong comeback, what are your plans for the future?" Sister Lijun asked after the door of the lounge was closed.

"First, I'll prepare to release two albums and go the international route. I don't want to be an artist for a certain record company. I'll lay a good foundation for myself first." Jingyi moved her wrist and gave her answer.

“Only you can do this! If other artists don’t have a company to help them promote and organize activities, or release songs, it’s like being hidden in the dark.” Sister Lijun sighed.

Like her, the biggest star in PolyGram Records also needs to go on tour around the country constantly under the company's arrangement.

"Because I don't need to worry about financial issues, and I don't need a company to provide me with songs. As long as I can get the album's distribution rights, it doesn't matter if I have a company or not."

The two chatted in the lounge for half an hour, and when everyone outside had probably left, they left the concert hall and drove back to their villa in Repulse Bay.

Now, Lijun is at the peak of her career. With the music sheet provided by Jingyi, she won the double gold award of Tokyo and Osaka Cable Awards for three consecutive years. This achievement cannot be achieved by any singer from a small family.

This sparked the wrath of xenophobic elements in Xiaozizujia! Last year, they used Lijun's Indonesian passport as a fake passport and deported her, forbidding her from entering Xiaozizujia for five years.

Now she and Sister Lijun were the only ones in the villa. She didn't know whether her adoptive mother Lou Xiao'e was in Sijiucheng and had gone to No. 95 Siheyuan. She hoped she would listen to her advice and stop having anything to do with the people there.

The two said good night and went into their own bedrooms. Jingyi closed the door and entered the station space.

I made myself a cup of beauty tea, and then started to select piano music. There are only a few songs left that can be called masterpieces, but I can definitely make up enough to release another album.

I first picked a song called "Kikujiro's Summer", but the name still needs to be changed! Then it will be called "Jingyi's Summer", which can also be used as the name of the album.

The piano-only version of "Dead Souls Overture" can also be called a masterpiece. Another song is "Fantasy Day"! The name of "Anne's Wonderland" should also be changed to "Fantasy Wonderland". The Chinese name of "TasseI" is "Liusu", which is a very good name.

Jingyi picked and chose eight famous songs that could be passed down from generation to generation, plus the already released "Croatian Rhapsody" and "Castle in the Sky", a total of ten songs. She also took out "Secret Garden", and like the first piano album, there were also eleven famous songs.

After organizing the piano scores, she started to select songs again. This time she wanted to release an English song album to go with the piano album.

Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Stay" and "The Power of Love", Adele's "Into the Abyss", Taylor Swift's "Belong to Me" and "Love Story", Marv Lavigne's "Innocence", Beyoncé's "If I Were a Boy", Mariah Carey's "Heroes", Whitnet Houston's "Nothing I Lost".

Jingyi thought about it and added another song, "Hairless" by the electronic music master, and "Wonderful" by Madonna.

These classic songs are the essence of European and American pop songs over the past 30 to 40 years. Each song can win a Grammy Award! The song genres include pop, rock, country, jazz, dance, and electronic music.

As long as this album is released, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Western music scene. Its global sales will definitely not be inferior to that piano album.
