2018-02-02
The 23rd Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival opened in Lanzhou on September 24th. Swedish pianist Robert Wells's work "Lanzhou, My Dream" was premiered at the opening ceremony with the Hailun CF286 grand piano. The show was a success. The reporter felt a lot in the accompanying interview of the event.
On the eve of the opening ceremony, Robert's "Lanzhou, My Dream" CD press conference would have be held at the Yellow River New Garden Activity Center at 19:30. Unexpectedly, the truck carrying the piano suffered serious road blockage and could only move slowly. The leaders and the media at all levels were extremely anxious for more than an hour, and the piano was delivered to the venue. After moving the piano out of the huge box, and then assembling and relocating, it was too late to tune.
In the face of this embarrassing situation, Robert's eyebrows were locked: the piano couldn't be used, what should I do? In order to maintain the style of the work, he said that if the pitch of the piano is not good, he wouldn’t be ready to play. This kind of unexpected situation made the organizers very anxious. Later, Robert stood in front of the piano and tried every key from the bass to the treble. His face turned from cloudy to sunny, and smiled and said OK! - It is hard to imagine that this long-disturbed nine-foot red piano’pitch is so stable! Robert was happy to sit down and played with enthusiasm. The guests also quickly forgot the displeasure and listened. After Robert finished playing, he gave a thumbs up to the reporter and said: HAILUN PIANO, VERY VERY GOOD! The organizer leaders were also relieved, and thanked Hailun piano.
Then, with the keen sense of the musician, Robert put forward his own unique requirements for Hailun Piano: 440NO! 442OK!! - The standard pitch of the universal is a sound of 440Hz, that is, the standard of a small group is the "Standard Sound" , but Robert formed a more unique habit with the band or recording, and the pitch of the piano should be adjusted to a=442Hz for each performance. Now this complicated work could only be done by the tuner in the night.
At the opening ceremony, Robert's performance caused a burst of applause and cheers in the audience. On the big screen, the scenery and architecture and the customs of the people who are familiar with Lanzhou residents are more beautiful and magnificent in the accompaniment of the music created and played by Robert. Everyone said that a foreigner can use music to make our Lanzhou so beautiful and dignified, we understood! As Lanzhou people, we are very proud! It’s really “music without borders”!
At the same time, Hailun piano also attracted a Lanzhou-born film and television actor Sun Xi, who had a program in the show asking her to play a few on the piano. During the rehearsal, she was surprised when she sat in front of the piano: such a nice piano sound! She played Hailun piano again and again, and couldn't put it down. The organizer even asked Wei Zhiyong, the head of Hailun Piano Northwest area, whether he could leave this red nine-feet piano in Lanzhou, and they would treat it with kindness!
The event organizer sent a paper bag to promote the film festival for the audience. And this paper bag triggered a few stories: After the opening ceremony, the author who had not eaten for ten consecutive hours found a small restaurant to eat. After seeing the paper bag in the hands of the author, the audience who watched the live TV broadcast came over to ask about the situation in the opening ceremony. I asked them: Which program did you like the most? The diners were all in the same voice: like the red piano! What surprised me even more was that two of the sisters who worked in trade knew the Hailun piano brand very well. They introduced the history of Hailun's piano in the restaurant and were proud to say that they just bought a Hailun piano. Encouraged by this program, they heard such a good sound of the piano, and began to learn the piano tomorrow!
The next morning, on the taxi to the airport, the driver saw the paper bag at a glance and said: "We ran all the way on the road, didn't have time to watch the opening ceremony, and only listened to the radio. Oh! Your piano sound, popped up through that song, is good!”
I didn’t even think that I met two parents who took the same paper bag and took the children on the plane. They came to see the opening ceremony from Shenyang. It happened that both children were learning the piano, so the two-hour voyage became a Hailun piano promotion conference. They used to think that Robert played the foreign famous piano. When they listened to the introduction of Hailun piano, they could not help praising Hailun piano, the national brand.
The author can't help but recall the past of Hailun piano. The scene was like a movie picture in front of the author. The Hailun piano was played in Tian’anmen Square. It sounded loud on the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall. This time, Hailun's sound was flying on the bank of the Yellow River. I don't know where would Hailun Piano would be played next time?
