Chapter 40: A Chance Encounter
On Wednesday morning, Zhang Jiahuo came to the Conservatory of Music. The scene was quite grand, and the piano department and the director and Li Yingzhen, the director of the conducting department, Sun and two professors, He Hongchui, the vice president and others all came to welcome them.
Zhang Jiahuo is slightly thin and tall, his hairstyle and clothes are full of artist's temperament, and a fifty-year-old person looks like he is forty years old. He is a very powerful figure, not only in China, but also in Europe and Russia, and has worked with many first-class orchestras there. In addition, Zhang Jiahuo's assistant is also young and beautiful.
Zhang Jiahuo and his leading friends and peers quickly greeted Yang Jingxing and then paid attention to Yang Jingxing, the two shook hands, and Yang Jingxing greeted: "Hello Commander Zhang." ”
Zhang Jiahuo praised: "Good temperament! Let's go, I can't wait." ”
Of course, they couldn't go to the small piano room, and a group of people went straight to the Xinhe Luting Concert Hall. He Luting Concert Hall is the school's new concert hall, it has not been completed for a few years, the conditions are very good, and Yang Jingxing only came for the first time last night.
The concert hall has a large stage area that can accommodate a three-orchestra orchestra, and now there is a Steinway grand grand piano in the center of the stage. This is what many students dream of, and Yang Jingxing only touched it for the first time last night.
There were six or seven hundred seats on the first floor of the concert hall and private rooms on the second floor, but the first two rows were now full. In addition to the leading professors, there are also various concertmasters of the Conservatory Symphony Orchestra, most of whom are graduate students and young teachers. Zhang Chujia also came, so he could only sit in the back and give Yang Jingxingshu a thumbs up.
Yang Jingxing waited early, but the people in the audience still had to prepare, there was no way, interpersonal communication. When Zhang Jiahuo finally shook everyone's hands, Yang Jingxing bowed first, then sat down in front of the piano, and gave the audience's ears a few seconds to prepare for the start.
Of course, it is to play and pull three first. This piano, the acoustic reverberation effect here, Yang Jingxing here, a few notes spread, and all kinds of expressions on the faces of the people in the audience were replaced by concentration.
Yang Jingxing had only been playing for two minutes, and the people in the audience were exchanging glances. At the end of the first movement, several people immediately applauded enthusiastically, but Yang Jingxing didn't listen to it and immediately entered the second movement.
When everyone else was dumbfounded, Zhang Jiahuo went to the stage, stood in front of Yang Jingxing's right, and gave him a command. It seems that he is not selling his reputation and reputation, and he can memorize it without any preparation.
Zhang Jiahuo was actually testing Yang Jingxing to see if he would respect the conductor. Yang Jingxing really didn't have this experience, but fortunately, he had already taught himself the things to get started with conducting, so he could barely adapt to Zhang Jiahuo's enthusiasm.
Everyone else made pleasing gestures to this scene, only Li Yingzhen frowned slightly. It can be seen that Zhang Jiahuo's understanding of this piece is too heavy, and he works hard to extend it deeply, but Yang Jingxing is a young man, and his performance is passionate, and sometimes even playful and naughty. At the most ridiculous time, Zhang Jiahuo sometimes confused the orchestra concerto with the piano solo, but fortunately, Yang Jingxing helped him cover up the past.
After the end of the second movement, Zhang Jiahuo did not immediately cut into the third movement, and Yang Jingxing immediately stopped, giving the audience half a minute to applaud and marvel at each other.
The third movement is wonderful, and Zhang Jiahuo has also become passionate, and I am really worried that he will throw off his hand and dislocate it. Yang Jingxing's body movements are not so exaggerated, or even expressionless, but his performance is there, and the notes are rushing and rushing, washing the sensory nerves of the audience.
At the end of the third movement, the audience applauded warmly, and now Li Yingzhen became the focus, congratulating her and praising her. Zhang Jiahuo took Yang Jingxing off the stage and asked him to accept praise. A group of people worked for half an hour. But it's not over yet, Zhang Jiahuo is not satisfied, and wants Yang Jingxing to continue playing and ordering songs, of course, Chopin, Beethoven, and Mozart all try.
It was supposed to be an audition, but it became a concert. From ten o'clock to twelve o'clock, Yang Jingxing tried his best to perform, so that Li Yingzhen in the audience accepted round after round of congratulations.
I've got to have lunch, it's finally over. Zhang Jiahuo patted Yang Jingxing's shoulder: "It's up to you in this generation, what's the plan?"
Yang Jingxing said kindly: "Study hard." ”
Zhang Jiahuo smiled: "Study, Professor Li, what do you mean?"
A group of people began to chatter, planning for Yang Jingxing's future. After doing it for a long time, Zhang Jiahuo realized that Yang Jingxing was originally from the composition department, and he said to He Hongchui in surprise: "Professor He loves talents!"
He Hong smiled: "Students have their own ideals. ”
You can't lose the watermelon and pick sesame seeds, Zhang Jiahuo began to care about Yang Jingxing, and asked him if he wanted to cooperate with the Puhai Symphony Orchestra, or the Rongcheng Symphony Orchestra, which are the two best orchestras in China, or Yang Jingxing wanted to go abroad for further study, he could help.
Others were envious, but Yang Jingxing didn't appreciate it: "Those starting points are too high, I want to take my time." ”
Li Yingzhen praised: "That's right, don't be too ambitious, Chairman Zhang will be fluttering after a few words." ”
Zhang Jiahuo disagreed: "This can't be regarded as ambitious, excessive modesty is pride." ”
Yang Jingxing was happy: "Thank you, thank you, but I have just entered the school, and I want to get acquainted with the teachers and seniors." ”
The school leaders were delighted and finally decided to let Yang Jingxing cooperate with the college's orchestra. Then Yang Jingxing got to know the permanent conductors of the orchestra one by one, and several principals.
The leaders decided to rub it off, but Yang Jingxing still had classes in the afternoon, so he and Zhang Chujia went to the cafeteria. Zhang Chujia said that geniuses generally have an idiotic side, and asked Yang Jingxing what kind of idiot he was, especially if he was so weird.
Yang Jingxing said: "This fully shows that I am not a genius. ”
Zhang Chujia said that Yang Jingxing was shameless.
On Thursday morning, Yang Jingxing stopped attending physical education class, and gathered with the orchestra in the practice hall on the third floor of the concert hall to begin training for Lasan and Chopin Steel Association.
Zhang Jiahuo, the chief conductor, can't get together with the orchestra twice a year, but this time he obviously paid attention to it and scolded a few violins and cellos, which made Yang Jingxing very embarrassed.
said that it was practicing Yang Jingxing, but it was actually a practice orchestra. La San is not only difficult to play the piano, but also has high requirements for the orchestra, and the school's orchestra has obviously never touched this score before, so it is inevitable that it will be a little difficult.
Later, even Li Yingzhen couldn't stand it anymore, and quarreled with Director Sun: "How can they do this!? This is Yang Jingxing's first performance, and if it doesn't work, forget it." ”
Hey, you begged someone to do something to repay this attitude, Director Sun had no choice but to get angry with the orchestra. Yang Jingxing sat in front of the piano and didn't say a word, but he also had a lot of grievances.
When the disbandment was at noon, Yang Jingxing hurriedly bowed to the conductor and the orchestra: "Thank you for your hard work, thank you." ”
Li Yingzhen quietly told Yang Jingxing, telling him not to be influenced by the orchestra and conductor, and to play his best.
Friday was another morning, and the orchestra finally received a little praise from Zhang Jiahuo. Although the people in the orchestra welcomed Yang Jingxing very much, they still complained that they were too tired. In fact, Yang Jingxing was even more tired, and he had to hand in the harmony homework in the afternoon, and then find He Hongchui to discuss the fugue. After dinner, I had to call Liu Miao, who had a birthday, to play the piano.
Liu Miao said that she had a cold, so Yang Jingxing cared about it for a while. Then he still talked about the problem of studying, Liu Miao said that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get into Tongji Fudan, so he just made do with Puhai University or something. Yang Jingxing scolded for a while, which annoyed Liu Miao, and promised to work hard.
Xia Xue is also there, saying that her English grades have improved a lot, and it seems that Yang Jingxing's learning method is still quite useful. Xia Xue used to be the most annoying with English.
Yang Jingxing still had to call Tao Meng: "It's finally time to wait, when will I pick you up tomorrow?"
Tao Meng hesitated: "Tomorrow, the student union may still have something." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Don't go!"
Tao Meng was angry: "Why! You have to be there if you have something, and mine is not important?"
Yang Jingxing said: "What is the importance of the student union? If you become president, I won't be able to lift my head!"
Tao Meng was proud: "Who told you to do your own thing." ”
Yang Jingxing shouted: "Wow, you still did it on purpose." ”
Tao Meng said: "It gives you a sense of urgency...... I don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow. ”
Yang Jingxing said: "I've seen it, the sun is shining. ”
Tao Meng confirmed: "You're coming to pick me up?"
Yang Jingxing sighed: "How sincere." ”
Tao Meng thought for a while: "Morning?"
Yang Jingxing was greedy: "It's best to have breakfast together." ”
Tao Meng said: "No, you have to eat at home." Nine o'clock, there's a Ferrari shop here, do you know?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Ah, then I don't want to be distracted. ”
Tao Meng sneered: "I've seen it, I don't have a car, just peripheral products." At Matang Road, 180. ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Okay, I'll wait now." ”
Of course Tao Meng didn't believe it: "Whatever you want...... It's okay to be early, half-past eight, and call me when you arrive. ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Okay, you remember to wear the Shangpu school uniform. ”
Tao Meng scolded: "Are you insane?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Aren't you nostalgic for high school life?"
Tao Meng hesitated: "The family must be so strange...... Do you have a school uniform?"
Yang Jingxing said: "No, I think you can be nostalgic." ”
Tao Meng thought for a while, but still denied: "It's so strange to wear a school uniform to your school, no!"
Yang Jingxing said: "Okay, wait for next time." Tomorrow, Saturday, October 21st, at half past eight in the morning, don't forget. ”
Tao Meng suddenly remembered: "By the way, you wash your car, it was so dirty last time." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Didn't you sit last time." Hung up, I went to the car wash. ”
The next day, Yang Jingxing guessed that the weather was still good. Yang Jingxing arrived at his destination at eight o'clock, called Tao Meng, and waited for a quarter of an hour, Tao Meng called.
Yang Jingxing looked at his whole body and wondered: "What are you laughing at?"
Tao Meng was not angry: "I want to laugh when I see you." ”
Yang Jingxing asked: "Laughing or laughing?"
Tao Meng said: "Laugh!"
Yang Jingxing was stingy: "I wanted to praise you for being beautiful, but I put up with it." ”
Tao Meng asked, "Did you eat breakfast? There's a McDonald's over there." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "I have eaten. Where do we go first?"
Tao Meng asked, "You don't think about Lally anymore?"
Yang Jingxing said: "What is there to see. I'll call Rulin and say you're prettier today than last time, and I'm mad at them. ”
Tao Meng snorted: "Aren't you praising me?"
Yang Jingxing stiffened: "I'll tell my brother, but it's not for you." ”
Tao Meng said: "I think you have a few friends, Lu Lin is very good." ”
Yang Jingxing was still jealous: "Then I won't fight." ”
Tao Meng was very serious: "He has to settle the bill that day, is it to protect your face?"
Yang Jingxing blamed: "When did you learn to be so vulgar?"
Tao Meng said: "You are vulgar, you eat and drink with them every day, and don't do anything serious." If they've always been like that, you've always been like that?"
Yang Jingxing advised: "Cherish today!"
Tao Meng continued: "Do you still know how to cherish time?"
Yang Jingxing said: "What I cherish is feelings, and I am gone! By the way, you are very beautiful." ”
Tao Meng is not as mature as the last time we met today, wearing red and white canvas shoes, pants a bit post-ninety, a cartoon pattern in the shirt, and a very girly coat.
After getting in the car, Tao Meng said to go directly to school. Along the way, I inquired about Yang Jingxing's study, how many courses are difficult? Is there a mid-term exam? Does the teacher appreciate you? Do you have any opportunities to communicate with others?
Tao Meng is also far-sighted: "I'm afraid that the path you choose will make you more self-oriented, you must communicate more, and there must be my teacher in the threesome." ”
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes, Teacher Tao." ”
Tao Meng was not angry: "People can have character, but they can't be too self-conscious, let alone arrogant...... You really should learn from me in this regard. ”
Yang Jingxing completely denied: "I have no character, no ego, and no arrogance, who are you talking about?"
Tao Meng said: "You just listen to it." And you should have a calm mind and not be too competitive. ”
Yang Jingxing wondered: "One will tell me to work hard, and the other will make me peaceful, what should I do?"
Tao Meng said: "I have consulted, and the conservatory is not at all what we imagined, the competition is very fierce......
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Don't worry, I don't compete with anyone." ”
Tao Meng was anxious: "You are like this, no one is in your eyes, and society is very complicated." ”
Yang Jingxing couldn't help but laugh: "With a bright mentor like you, I'm not afraid of anything." ”
Tao Meng opened the bag and took out a few candy chocolates: "I ate it myself!"
Yang Jingxing hurriedly begged for mercy, and Tao Meng divided two of them.
After arriving at the school, Tao Meng envied Yang Jingxing's parking lot, saying that there was no place to park in Fudan, so he could only park his car outside the school every time, and he had to walk far after class.
Yang Jingxing said: "That's not good, there is one more landscape." ”
Tao Meng smiled: "It's someone ......"
Yang Jingxing hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Tao Meng pouted: "It's a little ridiculous." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Courage is commendable. ”
Tao Meng said: "I am very polite and don't embarrass others!"
Yang Jingxing taught a lesson: "How can you be polite? You should scold." ”
Tao Meng said, "Unless that person is like you." ”
Yang Jingxing suddenly realized: "I said why do I get scolded every time, is it really a problem of appearance?"
Tao Meng said: "You think you look good." ”
Yang Jingxing didn't care: "I cherish today." ”
Tao Meng was angry: "Every time, you hate it first!
Yang Jingxing led the way: "Miss Tao, please here." ”
The two walked slowly on campus, and Yang Jingxing's introduction was simple, just a few buildings. While walking, Tao Meng asked more carefully, what classes are there, where are you practicing, and what is the cafeteria?
Coincidentally, I saw Yu Xinting and An Xin under the new teaching building, and Yang Jingxing raised his hand to say hello from afar. Yu Xinting seemed to be very happy today, holding An Xin's hand and jumping over, smiling brightly: "Hello." ”
Tao Meng nodded: "Hello." ”
Yu Xinting was a little confused: "You are so beautiful." My name is Yu Xinting...... She is An Xin, and we are both piano students. ”
Tao Meng glanced at Yang Jingxing and introduced himself: "My name is Tao Meng......"
Yang Jingxing added: "She is here to visit, Fudan, majoring in international economics and trade. ”
Yu Xinting nodded sharply: "No wonder I haven't seen it, Fudan University, good ...... Then you look good, let's go to practice, bye. ”
Tao Meng nodded: "See you again." ”
An Xin also looked back at Tao Meng, and Yu Xinting also turned around: "Yang Jingxing, are you going to have a concert next week?"
Yang Jingxing invited: "Come and cheer." ”
Yu Xinting nodded: "Definitely, see you again, come and play often." ”
Tao Meng smiled and nodded, and of course asked Yang Jingxing: "How do you still know the piano department?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I also practice the piano...... I met last year during the winter vacation when I was preparing for an exam. ”
Tao Meng asked again: "What kind of concert are you holding?"
Yang Jingxing said: "There are concerts here every day. ”
Tao Meng nodded: "Then you can also tell me...... It's good to know more people and listen to more opinions. Hey, where is she from?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Yu Xinting is from Yidu, and An Xin is from Anhua. ”
Although I walked so slowly, I even went to the playground, but it only took an hour to walk through a school. Tao Meng was still very envious, saying that the class was so close, unlike her, it took a long time to walk from one teaching building to another.
Du Ling called Yang Jingxing: "What are you doing? I'm so bored, come pick me up." ”
Yang Jingxing said, "What are you doing? I'm not free right now." ”
Du Ling said, "Invite me to dinner! Hey, let's go to your house and make it ourselves." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "I really don't have time, find another opportunity." ”
Du Ling was suspicious: "Are you so busy!? I wasn't free last week, I wasn't free this week, what are you doing?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Poor, remember this meal first, and count it together next time." ”
Du Ling said: "I want to go to your place to wash clothes, do you still have the key?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I'm afraid that your father will beat me, so that's it, hang up." ”
Tao Meng asked again: "Who...... Why did his dad beat you up?"
Yang Jingxing was helpless: "His father is a thug, who will be arrested and beaten by whom." ”
Tao Meng was generous: "You called her over." ”
Yang Jingxing is not stupid: "You want to be beautiful." ”
Tao Meng was curious: "She and you are really good friends?"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes." ”
"You eat, drink, and sing, and she follows?"
Yang Jingxing smiled: "She is the main force." ”
The school is too small, and I met an acquaintance on the road, that is, the tall boy from the junior piano department, and his girlfriend, greeted Tao Meng very warmly, and asked Yang Jingxing: "Girlfriend?"
Yang Jingxing regretted: "You offended her the first time we met." ”
The boy laughed: "I'm sorry. Her girlfriend made up: "You're so pretty." ”
Tao Meng, Xie Lu, Xie. The other party wished Yang Jingxing a successful concert and said goodbye.
Tao Meng was a little surprised: "You know a lot of people." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "They were all instilled by you. ”
Tao Meng was very proud: "What's wrong with this." ”
may have been infected by the atmosphere of the conservatory, Tao Meng, who had also practiced the piano hard, suddenly had itchy hands and wanted to play a song, and asked Yang Jingxing if there was a place. The students' piano room was not allowed to outsiders, so Yang Jingxing had to take Tao Meng to the small classroom in the north building. I'm really sorry for Li Yingzhen, she thought Yang Jingxing was practicing desperately at the moment.
Tao Meng sat down in front of the piano and was humble: "It's definitely not as good as your professional playing." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Then I will only use my eyes." ”
Tao Meng refused: "You listen well." ”
No wonder you have to listen to it well, Tao Mengdan's "Slam Dunk" is the two songs that Yang Jingxing scored for her. Of course, it is not professional enough, but it can be seen that it is very serious, which is better than Yang Jingxing imagined.
Tao Meng stopped Yang Jingxing's exaggerated applause: "Enough, you come." ”
Yang Jingxing played and played, Tao Meng laughed, so old-fashioned, it was actually "Let's Swing the Sculls". Yang Jingxing was quite careful when composing this piano piece, some chords and ornaments were just right, and he himself was quite satisfied.
After playing, Yang Jingxing said: "The score is in the car, and I will give it to you later." ”
Tao Meng smiled: "You remember." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "I'm afraid you will hang up on me." ”
Tao Meng said: "Then you should also review it yourself." ”
It was eleven o'clock, and the two discussed where to eat. Tao Meng asked, "Do you have formal clothes?" Let's go to Grand Hyatt." ”
Yang Jingxing smacked his tongue: "So far!"
Tao Meng insisted: "The environment there is good, I like it." ”
Yang Jingxing asked, "Can I just wear it like this?"
"It's official!"
It's really painful, Yang Jingxing has to go home and change clothes. After going downstairs to the community, Yang Jingxing asked, "Can't you go up?"
Tao Meng nodded: "I want to drink some water." ”
After entering the house, Tao Meng looked around and asked, "Where is the bathroom?" When she came out of the bathroom, Yang Jingxing had already changed her clothes and waited for a long time.
Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing and commented: "It's not bad, what about the tie?" ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Let's go." ”
Tao Meng also wanted to take a look and asked, "Have you hired a nanny?"
On the way, Tao Meng asked Yang Jingxing: "Your mother bought your clothes for you?"
"You can see it. ”
Tao Meng said: "I have met your mother at the parent-teacher meeting, and she is more tasteful...... I don't think you're influenced by her much. ”
Yang Jingxing said: "I praised my mother, and I don't care about you." ”
Tao Meng said again: "I have already studied in college and am considered an adult, so I should pay attention to these aspects." ”
Yang Jingxing was annoyed: "Can you enjoy your youth." ”
Tao Meng was angry: "Don't talk about you!" After a while, he asked again: "Do you have a credit card, if you don't have it, use mine first, and pay me back." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "My mother has taste and gave me a supplementary card. ”
Junyue Yang Jingxing is here for the third time, and the first two times are with his mother to experience. This old Audi is really embarrassing, no wonder Tao Meng asked him to wash it clean.
The two of them took the elevator directly to the fifty-sixth floor, and under the leadership of the waiter, they found two window seats, and the view was really good.
The waiter asked, "Sir, would you like to order now?"
Yang Jingxing said, "Give me a glass of water first, what about you?"
Tao Meng said: "Me too." ”
The two of them drank water and rested for a while, and the little kid, who was only eighteen years old, pretended to be mature there. Tao Meng couldn't help it first: "You're so strange." ”
Yang Jingxing hated: "It's all your fault...... Here's a surprise for you. ”
"Don't!"
