Chapter 46 Artistic Literacy

Yu Xinting still had to go back to school to change her clothes, so she changed a pair of pants after Yang Jingxing bought her a foundation, and took the initiative to confess: "An Xin lent it to me, is it good-looking?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I wore the right person this time." ”

Yu Xinting hehe: "The waist is a little big, and the length is appropriate." ”

I didn't go home anymore, and I made an appointment with my parents and teachers to meet at the place where I had dinner yesterday. Yu Xinting also said: "Yesterday's ribs were delicious. ”

Yang Jingxing agreed: "Well, I'll order one." ”

After the meeting, Li Yingzhen asked Yang Jingxing: "A reporter went to school in the morning, do you know the way?"

"They called me, but I didn't go," Yang said. ”

Xiao Shuxia was unsure: "What reporter? interview your ...... Why don't you go!?"

Yang Jingxing said: "There is no time. ”

Xiao Shuxia scolded: "You don't have time to ...... business" glanced at Yu Xinting.

Li Yingzhen said: "If you don't want to go, forget it." ”

After lunch, I went to the concert hall, there were still reporters waiting, three or four, and Yang Jingxing said: "I'm sorry, I still have to practice, I don't have time." ”

Yang Chengyi stepped forward and wanted to stop the reporter, but he himself was almost entangled, and turned around and taught Yang Jingxing a lesson: "Why are you so rude? ”

"I don't like talking to strangers. ”

Xiao Shuxia threatened: "Professor Li wants to criticize you!"

Li Yingzhen was tolerant: "Forget it, don't force him." ”

Up the second floor, Jeromir and Lexian were waiting with another Caucasian man in his fifties. Introduce each other, and the other party is, of course, Cliff, the music director of Lincoln Center. Cliff is a bit fat, only about 1.7 meters tall, and his sparse white hair is so fine.

Cliff clearly attaches more importance to interpersonal interactions, greeting each other one by one, and the smile on his face is constant. Yang Jingxing said that it was hard work, and Cliff smiled, patted Yeromir on the shoulder and said, "I believe that my old friend will not let me down." ”

"Never, especially this time," Jeromir stressed. ”

Don't talk too much nonsense, start practicing! After listening to Yang Jingxing and the orchestra work together for three times, Cliff also came to hug him, but he was not as out of shape as Jeromir that day, but he was just a little excited: "Why did you find out today! This is our dereliction of duty!"

The discussion ensued, and Le String said that Cliff was going back to New York tomorrow, so he wanted to reach a cooperation agreement as soon as possible. Yankee is very professional, even the patterned things are ready, Chinese are available, let Yang Jingxing look at it, of course, the details are negotiable.

Le String explained to Yang Jingxing that NURYU is based at Avery Fisher Hall, and they are cooperative and contractually binding. A pianist like Yang Jingxing either enters the agency and listens to the company's arrangement, and the company arranges performances and is responsible for promotion, or he signs a contract with the orchestra and becomes a member of the orchestra to cooperate with the orchestra's performance plan.

Although they are all commercial cooperation, working with the orchestra will be relatively free, and there will be a good and sustainable development on the road of music, without having to change the orchestra every day and have to run in again. Of course, in terms of income, it is not as much as a brokerage company that arranges intensive commercial performances and advertising activities.

Whichever approach Yang chooses, Cliff can offer cooperation, because Lincoln Center has its own agency.

It is said that it is a very face-saving thing for the boss to come and talk to you directly, but Yang Jingxing is not even interested in getting to know it carefully, and said directly: "Mr. Cliff, thank you for your valuable time and sincerity, but I am a composition student, so I must continue to complete my studies." Thank you, Mr. Yeromir, your recognition is the best affirmation of my teacher, Professor Li, and this is also my purpose. ”

Seeing the disappointed expressions of Yeromir and Cliff, Xiao Shuxia knew that something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask Yang Jingxing: "What did you say?" Yang Chengyi pulled his wife's hand and didn't let her interject.

Cliff didn't ask for help, patted his thigh and said, "Okay, good luck." ”

Yeromir still didn't believe Yang Jingxing's decision: "What are you doing?

Yang Jingxing said: "There are so many good performers in the world, and there is no shortage of my ......."

Jeromir bragged: "But you are the best!"

Yang Jingxing said: "There is no best, and I don't want to be the best, I just want to do what I want to do." ”

The result was not very pleasant, but Yeromir could not force others to do what they did not want to do. Yang Jingxing still sent Cliff away very respectfully, and the other party said that he would come in the evening and wished him a successful performance.

Next, the group of relatives and friends held a discussion meeting, and Xiao Shuxia apologized to Li Yingzhen, saying that Yang Jingxing was so stubborn, I don't know what Lu Dao thought in his heart.

Li Yingzhen said that it didn't matter: "It's the same no matter where we are, and we don't need recognition from others." ”

Yang Chengyi also said: "Although it is said that a good man has ambitions in all directions, there is nothing wrong with walking step by step." ”

Although Yang Jingxing didn't know what to do, he still had to go on stage in the evening, and he practiced twice in the afternoon, and Yeromir was still conscientious.

Before dinner, Yang Jingxing received a call from Tao Meng, saying, "Is Cliff here? Even if you really don't want to go to the United States, you have to behave well." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "We have already talked about it in the afternoon. ”

Tao Meng was surprised: "How can you talk about it? Why don't you tell me?"

Yang Jingxing said: "When he suddenly attacked, I said I didn't want to go." ”

Tao Meng didn't believe it: "It's that simple, why don't you call me for Lu!"

Yang Jingxing said: "How complicated can it be? You will support me, right?"

Tao Meng was angry: "But...... You should be cautious too...... I thought it was going to be over tonight!"

Yang Jingxing said: "Tonight is my farewell performance. ”

Tao Meng blamed: "Don't talk nonsense...... I always feel that you are not good like this...... So what do they say? Are they sincere?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "There are so many pianists, who can't do it without them, what am I." ”

Tao Meng was still worried: "I don't know what you said...... Maybe there can be a compromise, you don't go abroad but you can cooperate with them, you have to plan for the long term!"

Yang Jingxing was cautious: "What kind of cooperation, it is to be at the mercy of others, I like freedom." ”

Tao Meng said: "There is no absolute freedom...... Either way, you still have to behave well at night. So be it, and we're off right away. ”

After eating, Yang Jingxing went back to prepare, and went up to the second floor to welcome Tao Meng's grandmother. After chatting for a while, he said that the old man was in good health, and he looked young or something.

Because Hu Yiqing was coming, Tao Meng left her grandmother and Yang Jingxing to greet her. Yu Xinting is also not a follower today, waiting for An Xin at the door of the concert hall.

Yu Xinting praised Tao Meng: "You are so beautiful." ”

Tao Meng said: "Xie Lu Xie, you too." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You are both beautiful. ”

Yu Xinting was serious: "I'm not as good-looking as her." ”

Tao Meng said to Yu Xinting: "You have worked hard these days. ”

Yu Xinting shook her head again and again: "No, I didn't do anything." ”

Tao Meng asked, "Are you free next weekend?" ”

Yu Xinting was surprised: "I, I'm going to tutor." You go, Yang Jingxing wants you to go. ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "How do you know that I want to?"

Yu Xinting said: "Really, really!"

Tao Meng smiled: "Let's eat together then, he should also thank you." ”

Yu Xinting shook her head: "No, no, really." ”

Zhang Chujia came first, and after meeting Tao Meng, he exaggeratedly condemned Yang Jingxing: "Wow, you are wonderful, and you are still engaged in underground work, I want to tell the professor!"

Tao Meng smiled: "I already know Professor Li." ”

Zhang Chujia said to Tao Meng again: "He is super honest at school, and there are no scandals at all." ”

Tao Meng still smiled: "It has nothing to do with me." ”

Yang Jingxing was angry: "You two cooperate so well!"

Zhang Chujia Ha Lu Ha Le.

An Xin also came early, with another roommate, who was from the drama department, and both of them thanked Yang Jingxing. Yu Xinting went in with An Xin and said goodbye to Tao Meng.

Tao Meng said to Yang Jingxing: "Your friends don't have any artistic temperament. ”

Yang Jingxing laughed: "What is artistic temperament?"

Tao Meng said: "The cultivation of speaking can be seen. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "It's just right, I don't have much cultivation. ”

Tao Meng glanced at Yang Jingxing: "You don't have to be so sensitive. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I seek truth from facts. ”

After being silent for a while, Tao Meng spoke: "I didn't say that it was bad." ”

Yang Jingxing nodded.

Silent again, Tao Meng asked again: "What are you thinking?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I am cultivating artistic temperament. ”

Tao Meng was sensitive: "Are you sarcastic about me? I haven't criticized anyone, can't I evaluate it?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Yes, you have this right. ”

Tao Meng was angry: "Don't be so yin and yang, okay?"

Yang Jingxing's female voice: "This is called yin and yang weirdness." ”

Tao Meng had a cold face: "I can't laugh!"

Yang Jingxing said: "I'll tell you a joke, the beggar's wallet was stolen by a fool, the blind man saw it, the dumb man roared, the deaf man was startled, the camel stepped forward, the lame man flew up, the madman said, everyone be sensible, Mazi said, forget it for my sake." Tao Meng Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, I told this joke!"

Tao Meng, who had been straining his face, suddenly laughed for a short second, and then forcefully turned his expression into a grin, raised his fist at Yang Jingxing, didn't fall, and turned his head to ignore him.

Yang Jingxing continued: "The deaf man said, it was indeed Tao Meng who was laughing, and the blind man said, I saw it, and the dumb man said, smile so good......"

Tao Meng turned his head sharply and scolded Yang Jingxing: "You are blind, you are crazy, you are deaf, you are still pockmarked ......"

Yang Jingxing despised it: "There is no artistic temperament at all." ”

Tao Meng stomped his feet: "I'm leaving!"

Yang Jingxing pleaded: "Be sensible, be sensible." ”

Tao Meng was angry: "I'm still looking at your face!" After speaking, he couldn't help laughing, and after laughing for a while, he said, "You haven't made me laugh for a long time." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "It's up to you to decide whether to laugh or not." ”

Tao Meng said: "You have to have something to laugh at, you must be amusing others, or are there too many things? ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Well, I'll review. ”

Tao Meng rolled his eyes: "I'll go to your school on Saturday next week, right?"

Yang Jingxing said: "No need, her birthday is coming, I'll send it." ”

Tao Meng asked, "When?"

"Next Wednesday. ”

"How do you know the way?"

Yang Jingxing explained: "It turned out that I had seen my ID card during the exam. ”

Tao Meng was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I don't have time on Wednesday." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Don't be so grand. ”

Tao Meng said: "I see that you are very grand!"

Yang Jingxing was modest: "This is what I should do, she is so far away from home." ”

Tao Meng asked, "What are you going to send?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Buy a cake." ”

Tao Meng said: "I'll try to make time, at night?"

Hu Yiqing came and held hands with her boyfriend sweetly. Hu Yiqing was dressed up beautifully, and she was also happy: "Tao Meng, what about the other classmates?

Yang Jingxing said: "I will invite such one." ”

Hu Yiqing nodded and introduced her boyfriend. Her boyfriend is very happy: "I don't know music, I just come to join in the fun." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Then you are the same as me." ”

Tao Meng smiled: "Teacher Hu is getting more and more beautiful." ”

Hu Yiqing said: "You are, I feel much more mature after a while." ”

Well, the guests are all welcomed. Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing again and reminded: "Go in and wipe the soles to keep the state of yesterday." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You are getting more and more beautiful, and I have to work hard." ”

When Yang Jingxing came on the stage today, the applause was warmer than yesterday. After the song was finished, the cheers were even more stormy in an instant, and the audience slowly stood up.

Yeromir hugged Yang Jingxing vigorously, as if parting, and said to him: "You should go and benefit more listeners." ”

New Love will leave tomorrow, and the audience will be reluctant, so they will return to the first movement of Mozart's No. 40, and Yang Jingxing has been waiting at the piano, and then he will dedicate another nocturne, and it will really be over.

After saying goodbye to the strings backstage, Yang Jingxing went to gather with his relatives and friends. A large group of people were waiting in the hall on the first floor, and there was actually Xiao Jiajia and her father. Xiao Jiajia presented Yang Jingxing with a bouquet of flowers, but he was very happy.

As he was talking, a young man who was about the same age as Yang Jingxing but a little smaller came over and said to him, "You played well." ”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Xie Lu Xie." ”

The young man snorted coldly: "But don't you think it's despicable?"

Yang Jingxing was surprised: "I'm sorry, what's wrong?"

The young man's anger suddenly came out: "What's the matter?

Xiao Shuxia shouted first: "How do you speak, what's wrong with my son?"

The young man glared at Yang Jingxing and warned: "Don't be arrogant!"

Yang Jingxing was helpless: "What are you saying, I really don't understand, how did I offend you?"

Li Yingzhen spoke to the young man, and her tone was stern: "Yang Jingxing doesn't know you, don't make trouble here." ”

The young man stretched his neck and stared at Yang Jingxing: "You don't know me?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "May I ask who you are?"

The young man yelled, "You don't know me, don't be so crazy!"

Xiao Shuxia asked, "Who are you?"

Li Yingzhen took a step forward and said to the young man: "Shen Wuchen, Yang Jingxing really doesn't know you, you calm down." ”

Yang Jingxing hurriedly said: "Shen Wuchen, I know the way." I'm sorry, I'm sorry I haven't seen a real person. ”

Tao Meng pulled Yang Jingxing's arm to prevent him from being faceless.

The young man roared, "Don't be so crazy! How old are you? What kind of thing are you?"

Yang Chengyi raised his hand and pointed at Shen Wuchen's face, and said in a low voice: "I warn you, get out!"

Xiao Shuxia also warned: "I don't know whether to live or die!"

Shen Wuchen was a little afraid: "What do you want? There are a lot of people, don't you? want to beat me?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Everyone be sensible...... What happened to me? ”

"You're still pretending to be stupid? You have a lot of connections, aren't you? I was on the field! You were still wearing open crotch pants when I played the three!" shouted Shen Wuchen.

Li Yingzhen scolded: "You play better than him and say this kind of thing, your skills are not as good as others, what is it called!"

Yang Jingxing asked: "Originally, he played?"

Li Yingzhen said: "Don't pay attention to him, let's go." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You go first, I'll talk to him." ”

Tao Meng pulled Yang Jingxing: "Let's go, what are you talking about!"

Yang Jingxing stretched out his hands to catch up with relatives and friends: "You go first, wait for me outside, Tao Meng, you and grandma go home first." ”

Tao Meng's grandmother also spoke: "Young people's affairs, let them handle it themselves." He looked at Shen Wuchen and taught: "Don't be so angry, this is not a place to spread wildness." ”

Shen Wuchen raised his eyes in disdain.

After there were only two people left, Yang Jingxing looked at Shen Wuchen and was very sincere: "You really should play, I don't know what to do at all." ”

Shen Wuchen was angry again: "You don't know what to do? They notified me a month before Niu Ai came?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I'm really sorry, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Shen Wuchen was so angry that his mouth crooked: "I told you earlier...... You're embarrassed...... Are you particularly proud now? Genius, Master...... Me too!"

Yang Jingxing said: "No, I'm really sorry, this is a misunderstanding, I apologize to you." ”

Shen Wuchen disdainful: "You think I care, I don't care at all, this kind of small stage ......"

Yang Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, what happened before, we should not have happened, how about it?"

Shen Wuchen said: "I'm angry that you guys are doing this!"

Yang Jingxing said: "You have a large number of adults, come, shake hands and make peace, and give face." ”

Shen Wuchen looked at Yang Jingxing for a few seconds, and finally stretched out his hand.

Yang Jingxing patted Shen Wuchen on the shoulder: "Okay, man, I'll send you out." ”

Shen Wuchen asked, "You really don't know the Dao?"

Yang Jingxing nodded.

Shen Wuchen snorted coldly: "These people, the dog's eyes look at people low, and the wind makes the rudder...... When did you come?"

Yang Jingxing explained: "I came over on Thursday, and the commander said to let me go, so I did, and I was really sorry." ”

Shen Wuchen said: "Yeromir is not a good thing, who used to bird him when he was in Germany. ”

Yang Jingxing comforted: "Don't be angry, you can't do it, you are all celebrities, what am I." ”

Shen Wuchen sneered: "Aren't you going to be a celebrity soon, master!"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's far away, and I can't compare with you." ”

Shen Wuchen was angry again: "You don't have to speak coldly, I haven't seen anything, I don't care, I've been working for more than ten years!"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "That's right, you are a senior." ”

Shen Wuchen walked out of the concert hall with his shoulders around Yang Jingxing, who was a head taller than himself, and saw a large group of people waiting outside, so he walked from the other side.

People outside also know the general situation. This Shen Wuchen is a real genius, only two years older than Yang Jingxing, he became a blockbuster when he was eight years old, he went abroad to study at the age of ten, played all the way, everyone was shocked, and at the age of sixteen, he won the first prize in the Rachmaninov Piano Competition. But this guy is a real madman, who is despised by everyone, and in front of the media, he regards himself as the number one genius in the world...... Inevitably, the artistic career is now being put to the test.

Originally, this time when New Age came to Puhai, the concert hall invited Shen Wuchen to perform on stage as a local guest, but later Yeromir insisted on a replacement. Li Yingzhen knew about it, but didn't tell Yang Jingxing.
