Chapter 678: The Bottom Line
At seven o'clock in the morning of the 25th, Yang Jingxing called Qi Qingnuo's house, and the girl really hadn't gotten up yet, and she was still humming: "Hmm...... Good job...... Ah, I'll go to work at 10 o'clock when I'm the head of the regiment......"
Yang Jingxing said: "I'll buy whatever I want to eat, it's almost there." ”
Qi Qingnuo seemed to be sober: "It's coming...... Can you surprise me with something? Don't be so dedicated every time. ”
Yang Jingxing also smiled: "Next time...... Wonton soup dumplings?"
Qi Qingnuo hey: "Surprise...... And my mother!"
When Yang Jingxing went upstairs and entered the house with breakfast, Qi Qingnuo hadn't washed up yet, complaining that his hair was getting more and more difficult to take care of, and he used to save more trouble.
Zhan Huayu hurriedly persuaded and encouraged her daughter, saying that it was still the intermediate stage of not sticking to the two ends, so it was easy to mess up, and it would be good to wait for the really long hair shawl, Zhan Huayu also asked: "Does Jing Xing like long or short?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I used to like short ones, but now I slowly start to like long ones. ”
Qi Qingnuo was angry: "Deliberately not letting us eat?"
Zhan Huayu asked Yang Jingxing where she bought the breakfast, she seemed to be more concerned, and introduced a place with confidence and quality, but she didn't refuse today.
Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo also set off first, went downstairs and got into the car, but Qi Qingnuo didn't pay much attention to the gift box handed by Yang Jingxing, and called Nian Qing: "...... Do you want to bring breakfast...... Do you want a car? There is Lao Wang's line...... Good ......"
Hanging up the phone, Qi Qingnuo told Yang Jingxing that Nian Qing and Wang Rui organized the 306 Christmas Singles Night overnight last night, and the sisters enthusiastically participated, and those who were not single were even willing to give up their boyfriends, Qi Qingnuo hesitated whether he wanted to be an example.
Yang Jingxing was so angry that he smashed the steering wheel: "I've had enough." ”
Qi Qingnuo giggled, put the phone in his bag, picked up the gift package and looked at it carefully, his smile deepened a little, and his eyes were bright and sharp: "What?"
Yang Jingxing did not answer.
Qi Qingnuo tore open the outer packaging by himself, and then pulled out a cashmere scarf from the box, orange red with brown pattern embellishment. The girl half-spread out her scarf to take a look, then looked at Yang Jingxing, and said with a smile: "Every time I receive a gift, I have a sense of happiness." ”
Yang Jingxing: Hey, hey.
Qi Qingnuo continued: "Because every time I know at this time, my husband is actually not a genius at all, and he is a bit cheesy at all. ”
Yang Jingxing is really fed up: "Do you know how difficult it is to choose a young and good-looking one?" Most of them are middle-aged and elderly, and I found a few stores ......."
Qi Qingnuo giggled: "But I like cheesy ......"
Yang Jingxing looked at Qi Qingnuo, this girl's eyes seemed to be a little coquettish, and he laughed again.
Qi Qingnuo folded the scarf and put it on his neck: "There is a spirit in the heart, match!"
Yang Jingxing said: "My wife has a good temperament, no way. ”
Qi Qingnuo doubted again: "It's not a Tibetan antelope...... right?"
Before Nian Qing got into the car, Qi Qingnuo still put away the gift box and wore the scarf.
On the road again, after the two girls exchanged for a few minutes, Nian Qing suddenly scolded: "What kind of taste do you have......?
After sending Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing to the Chinese Orchestra, Yang Jingxing continued to move forward, arrived at the Philharmonic before nine o'clock, and ran directly towards the artistic director's office.
The artistic director of the Puhai Philharmonic Orchestra is called Wang Jinzhe, who is only in his early forties, and he is not outstanding at all from the perspective of his resume, graduated from the musicology department of an ordinary university, and his first job was only a literary and artistic propagandist in a state-owned factory...... In the early 90s, Wang Jinzhe was transferred to the Puhai Radio system, and then the Puhai Philharmonic Orchestra was established, and Wang Jinzhe took root in the Philharmonic and no longer transferred. It wasn't until the late 90s that Wang Jinzhe became the orchestra's chief of staff, and five years ago became deputy director and then artistic director.
From the perspective of conventional thinking, Wang Jinzhe is estimated to be a person with a little ability and small relationship, but it is definitely not easy to climb to this day step by step, and there must be various stories in it, even shady. As for laymen leading insiders, this is not unusual.
However, from Li Yingzhen's point of view, Wang Jinzhe is actually a person who loves music, and he respects musicians very much.
Wang Jinzhe and Li Yingzhen met more than ten years ago, when Wang Jinzhe was still a small officer of the radio station, although Li Yingzhen has achieved results, but has not yet become a famous piano educator......
In Li Yingzhen's view, Wang Jinzhe has a lot of music hobbies and knowledge reserves, but he has nothing to do with talent at all.
Wang Jinzhe's attempt to organize a non-professional folk orchestra and make himself the conductor of the Puhai Philharmonic Orchestra at a time when he was not yet in charge of art was ridiculous and pitiful, but Li Yingzhen provided a little help, although she had no enthusiasm, expectation or appreciation for this unself-aware person for a long time, and perhaps only a little sympathy.
However, after being able to manage things, Wang Jinzhe still showed his ability, and Puhai Philharmonic, which did not get much financial support, is said to be able to take care of its own profits and losses in recent years, which is a miracle. The Philharmonic is also making artistic progress, working with well-known musicians more and more frequently, and the reputation for the quality of performances is also improving.
Of course, Wang Jinzhe's greatest achievement in recent years is to invite Lian Lixin back from abroad as the chief conductor, when Wang Jinzhe rushed to the first command, the other party once asserted that Wang Jinzhe wanted to grab the command seat by himself to have a good time, Puhai Philharmonic is over!
It's a bit strange now, the artistic director seems to be a layman, the chief conductor is very productive, and it seems that the two of them are working well together, and the orchestra is running well.
Wang Jinzhe didn't have much to offer, and warmly welcomed Yang Jingxing: "I'm really sorry, I had to go to yesterday morning's meeting, and you left again when I rushed back...... What about the commander? Let's go talk to him...... Then please sit down and have a cup of hot water?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "No need, I'll just report to you." ”
Wang Jinzhe waved his hand: "No, no, no...... I've been looking forward to it since Professor Li greeted me last week! For so many years, I've never heard her comment on a musician in that tone! I keep your CDs at home like a treasure, and most people will definitely not listen to them. I've always wanted to know and visit, but I'm afraid of being abrupt......"
The director did have a set of targeted tones and expressions for the artist, and Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "It's me who is abrupt, and I reluctantly ask for ......."
Wang Jinzhe waved his hand again: "No, no, no, no! Although Professor Li said so, if she really disagrees, I don't dare to agree, haha, don't worry." ”
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Anyway, thank you, I won't delay the orchestra for too long." ”
Wang Jinzhe Zhengse said: "I understand the situation yesterday, try your skills, all thumbs up!" He also gave one, and said: "Even the commander admires you very much, and I didn't expect it to be on the horse in person...... Let's go, without delay, let's go first...... Can I go and see it?"
Yang Jingxing was a little confused: "Please give more guidance ......"
The two went to invite Lian Lixin together, and Wang Jinzhe explained to Yang Jingxing that the head of the regiment was not resident here because he still had important positions in the group, otherwise he would have changed to see Yang Jingxing.
At the door of Lian Li's new office, Wang Jinzhe was like a subordinate: "Commander Lian, Yang Jingxing has arrived, let's go over." ”
The three of them went to the rehearsal hall together, Wang Jinzhe explained to Lian Lixin that he was going to visit, and then explained to Yang Jingxing that one of the important conditions he had promised when he invited Lian Lixin back was not to interfere with art......
Yang Jingxing was caught between the conductor and the director, and he didn't know what to do.
There are more people in the rehearsal hall today, and it seems that there are people who can afford the rehearsal salary, but more of them come empty-handed, and they just make a posture to see the excitement. Wang Jinzhe probably doesn't often appear in the rehearsal hall, and the orchestra pays a lot of attention and seems to be more respectful.
Wang Jinzhe greeted him generally: "Everyone has worked hard......" and went to the meeting, the thirty or so audience seats were half full, he did not accept to give up his seat, and sat in the last row.
Even Lixin didn't rush to start: "Introduce ......"
There are two voice chiefs who came to get the rehearsal fee, and Yang Jingxing has to respect it. There is also a female harp player who is not needed in the music in the audience, and she is also an alumnus of Yang Jingxing.
Yang Jingxing was delighted: "Teacher Zhou said it yesterday. ”
The harp performance introduced another alumnus bass clarinet, which seemed quite familiar with Yang Jingxing: "...... I heard Lao Zhou say it was you yesterday, and I'm here today. ”
The bass clarinet laughed: "It's a pity that I couldn't cooperate, I hope next time." ”
The alumni here talked, and Zhou Hongbo, who was originally prepared, got up and walked over: "This is a topic to talk about reminiscing about the student days together......
Lian Lixin went to knock on the shelf!
After the first practice today, Wang Jinzhe took the lead in a standing ovation. There are a lot of people today, but the director is enthusiastic to take the lead, and the applause is very warm.
It's not all polite, Yang Jingxing is nothing, the orchestra has really made a lot of progress compared to yesterday, and it is estimated that they have done the homework assigned by Lian Lixin afterwards.
The members of the orchestra generally looked excited and surprised by the art, and they seemed to love the work. That's right, the directors have personally supervised the formation with economic construction as the center, so what else can't you put down?
But in the rehearsal hall, the applause seemed to be too long, and regardless of the director's continuation, the conductor knocked on the music stand and signaled everyone to stop.
The director was very cooperative, but raised his hand to greet: "I'll just say it...... This piece is hearty, especially Yang Jingxing's performance, which is magnificent!"
As far as some clips are concerned, Wang Jinzhe is not wrong, Lian Lixin nodded, and the musicians and the audience also agreed.
Lian Lixin began to talk about the details of the problem, in the ears of the chief conductor, it was still far away! After the explanation emphasized for a while, he was ready to start, and Lian Lixin looked at the orchestra: "Don't let me and Yang Jingxing accompany you to check and fill in the omissions...... I'll talk about it later. Although the tone is flat, the momentum is very different from when he was directing Pu Yin.
The orchestra is ready to fight.
Again, Yang Jingxing repeated, but the performance of the orchestra was different, the energy was obviously more concentrated, the movements of the violin group were simply uniform, and the faces were very artistic......
Lian Lixin's body movements were also repeated, but his eyes were different, and as the music progressed, his gaze shot again and again to the parts and instruments he had just emphasized, or the musicians, almost without missing them. And this trick is very effective, if it continues like this, Yang Jingxing can return two hours of practice time.
At the end of this time, Wang Jinzhe didn't take the lead, everyone looked at each other and didn't applaud, and Lian Lixin announced that he was resting again.
Wang Jinzhe came to tell Yang Jingxing that he still had something to do, and he would come back later: "...... At noon, try the coarse tea and light rice in our canteen. ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Go get busy, I'm going to leave when the time comes." ”
Wang Jinzhe was not too polite: "That's good...... Professor Li reminded me that you don't like nonsense, and I won't say anything superfluous here. How well you play, everyone can hear it. ”
The musicians gathered around and echoed the director.
Yang Jingxing looked ashamed: "...... Thank you. ”
After seeing the director leave, the first person to speak was the trombone, and said to Lian Lixin: "Conductor, didn't you say last time that you had the opportunity to rehearse Yang Jingxing's own piano concerto?"
Lian Lixin, who was still studying the score, raised his eyes: "...... Well, yes, that's been said. ”
Yang Jingxing hurriedly explained: "The conductor later helped rehearse the school's orchestra, which was really hard enough, so I came to the door this time." ”
Zhou Hongbo said: "I heard that the effect in Europe is very good and successful, and there are many reports. ”
Another alumnus said, "I performed in October when I had a piano master class...... Yang Jingxing, I have a relative's child who went to the master class to get a graduation certificate, I don't know if you remember......"
Yang Jingxing remembers, although he has not taught.
Here he asked again: "Yang Jingxing, when the rehearsal is over, is Elder Ding coming?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "No." ”
The other party was suspicious: "Didn't you say that you would be there every time you performed?"
There is something that makes sense: "Ding is old, and this time it is not his own work......"
Yang Jingxing, you have a few internal recordings...... You have found the right one, thank you for your trust, even the conductor is more reliable than the Puhai Symphony Orchestra...... Why do pop music...... Why didn't you go to see Puyin's opera at the beginning of the month...... It's time for us to go back to our alma mater, and you want to receive it...... I've only heard of it, but I don't know much about it...... This Qi Qingnuo is also very talented, hehe...... Jiu Chun must be a very rich place...... He Hongchui is a person who is very responsible for students and has a good reputation...... If I want to be a little more solemn in this paragraph, I can do this...... Which composer do you think Qin Mengli plays better...... Yu Xinting, I've heard of it......
Yang Jingxing beat dozens of people, and there was a circle of people who did it directly, and the people who watched the excitement inside and outside had no sympathy, and obviously wanted to be more lively.
Yang Jingxing stood on the piano, naked and powerless, these people had already beaten his bottom to the bottom.
Fortunately, Lian Lixin came back and knocked on the shelf: "Okay......"
Everyone was in place, Lian Lixin announced the start of vocal practice alone, Yang Jingxing rested, and the musicians did not complain.
