His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280 - Feng Jiu Interviews Iris Long Part III

The screens in the studio flickered once again. They began showing a video of Iris in a drop-dead gorgeous fiery red dress playing Schumann’s "Toccata in C Major, Op. 7". Her swift fingers skipping over the piano keys astounded everyone. The quick performance ended too soon.

Fortunately, another video played right after. It showed Iris performing Schumann’s "Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54" with Maestro Ludovico De Luca and his symphony orchestra. Because the original performance was half an hour long, only the highlights were shown in the video.

Those who weren’t interested in classical music before instantly became converts after watching the two videos. They found that they also enjoyed Iris playing classical music as much as when she performed pop and rock.

The Black Stars and the rest of the audience cheered and gave Iris a standing ovation. Even the show’s host, Feng Jiu, stood up and clapped her hands. Iris stood up and bowed her thanks to everyone.

"Boss Iris, you’re the best! Cool! Amazing! Beautiful! Nobody can compare to you!"

"Iris! Iris! Iris!"

Maestro Liu Wei’s two students felt like outcasts. They were also tempted to clap their hands after watching the videos but felt that they lost the right to do so after mocking Iris earlier. They just stood there with stiff expressions, as they endured the nasty glares and contemptuous looks from the people around them. They wanted to run away, but the security wouldn’t allow them. They had to suffer the humiliation that they brought to themselves.

Everyone finally settled down and returned to their seats, including Feng Jiu and Iris.

"Wow, Iris! That was so mind-blowing!" Feng Jiu exclaimed. She was truly impressed by the young lady sitting opposite her. "I didn’t expect that you’ll be this skilled in classical music. Is there anything that you cannot do?"

Iris chuckled. "Of course, there are many things that I can’t do. But when it comes to music, I love it so much that I constantly desire to improve my skills and abilities. I’m never satisfied because I believe that there will always be room for improvement. Saying all of these, the most important thing for me in music is the freedom to enjoy it and to express my emotions and interpretations through it. Music is such a wonder and I feel blessed to be able to be a part of its marvelous world."

Feng Jiu: "You sound very wise for your age. I’m sure that there are many people who’ll start seeing you in a new light after this."

Feng Jiu asked Iris for more details about her performances at Maestro De Luca’s concert. Everyone listened intently, not wanting to miss any details.

"Wow. Not only did you perform with the world-renowned Maestro Ludovico De Luca and his award-winning symphony orchestra, but you also performed at the historical opera house in Germany in front of so many distinguished people from all around the world. I can’t wrap my head around what you experienced. This is such a great achievement! I’m so proud of you as my fellow countrywoman. Congratulations, Iris!" Feng Jiu led another round of applause for Iris.

Iris: "Thank you, Madam Feng. Thank you, everyone!"

Feng Jiu: "And of course, I also want to thank you because if it weren’t for you, I don’t think my show and everyone present here today will have the chance to receive a call from Maestro De Luca himself and speak with him directly. Let me tell you that this is a dream come true for me. So thank you, Iris."

Before they moved to the next topic of the interview, both Iris and Feng Jiu drank water from the cups beside them.

Feng Jiu: "My next question is about Enrique Valdez. If my information is correct, you’ve been seen together with him in Germany. And also some have noticed that your way of playing the electric guitar is very similar to the legendary hitmaker’s southpaw style. How did you meet him? What’s your relationship with each other?"

"I met Mr. Valdez at the same time I met Maestro De Luca in Switzerland," Iris replied. "They were actually together that time. In fact, we all flew together from Switzerland to Germany in his private jet. Of course, there were other people with us who were our mutual acquaintances. As for my playing style being similar to his, that’s because he’s one of my biggest musical influences alongside Maestro De Luca."

"I see." Feng Jiu nodded and asked more about what Enrique was like in person.

Iris answered all of the questions with ease. She didn’t bat her eyes even when Feng Jiu asked her about the rumours saying that she was lovers with Enrique Valdez.

"I only have one lover and that is my fiancé," she said. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

The Black Stars and the other audience members squealed when they heard her words. The camera zoomed in on the diamond ring around her finger.

Feng Jiu: "Before anything else, I want to say congratulations on your engagement, Iris!"
