At seven o'clock on Saturday morning, very punctual, the British phone called Yang Jingxing's mobile phone, and the person who spoke was obviously an elderly man: "I'm sorry, I'm Bert Green, and I want to talk to Mr. Yang Jingxing." "The British accent in the movie.

Yang Jingxing said: "Hello, Mr. Green, I am Yang Jingxing, I hope this time will not affect your rest." ”

Green said, "No, no...... If it weren't for this call, it would have been hard for me to rest, Mr. Yang Jingxing. ”

Yang Jingxing, who had just learned the etiquette of conversation yesterday, said: "Mr. Green, I want to thank you and Mr. Anderson for your sincerity and for what you have done, I have no intention of wasting your precious time, so I can tell you with certainty that I will not become a famous pianist, nor will I do anything that will cause things to go in this direction." ”

He waited for a while before saying, "Mr. Yang Jingxing, can I ask, why?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Personal hobbies, I have many hobbies, I can't favor one of them, it's unfair to other things." I've read your column, and at one point, you complained that your identity didn't allow you to simply listen to music like a regular listener, and I felt like you were serious. ”

Green was silent for a moment and admitted, "Yes, I said that, thank you for remembering those words...... I think I know what you mean, more or less. ”

Yang Jingxing still explained: "I like to listen to others more than to play. I love people more than music. I prefer simple love to fame. "He is still limited in level, and he doesn't know how to express the meaning of simplicity and plainness.

Even after decades of being a music critic, Green still has his own limitations: "Yes, Oriental culture. ”

Yang Jingxing was blunt: "You are wrong, oriental culture is inclusive and broad, and I am narrow-minded." I don't want to play for more people, I don't need a fever I don't know to cheer me on. But I would be honored to be your friend. ”

I think I can ask my friend one more question, you are still a composer, and I am sure that there are many people you don't know who have cheered for your work...... Is there any difference?"

"To a large extent, my works are made for a certain person or a few people, and I hope to communicate with them, and they can have fun when they play...... That's all. ”

Green sighed: "As I thought...... But I don't want to call it narrow-minded. ”

Yang Jingxing didn't care: "It doesn't matter what it's called, it's not special, I, like everyone else, try to only do what I want to do......"

After a long call, Green still said that he wanted to come to China to see what made Yang Jingxing "jump through a huge, gorgeous, seductive but sinister intermediate link and reach the end directly" on the road to fame and fortune. You must know that many people can't even reach this intermediate link, of course, there are very few people who reach the end, but Green feels that he has only seen the end from afar.

At nine o'clock, before accompanying his mother and aunt to go shopping, Yang Jingxing called Li Yingzhen: "I fooled Green over, don't interview me, come to the lecture, you let Director Lu grab this credit quickly." ”

Li Yingzhen was speechless for a while: "What are you thinking again?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Who made you so low-key...... We are preparing for next year. "In the spring semester of next year, Li Yingzhen will retire.

Li Yingzhen was angry: "Don't talk about next year, what are your plans for this year!?"

Yang Jingxing said: "What should I do, don't be angry, I'll go back next week and let you teach you a lesson......

Let his mother accompany him for two days, Yang Jingxing talked and counted, and returned to Puhai on Sunday afternoon, and made a fortune, with the money to buy four parking spaces. Xiao Shuxia said, Qi Qingnuo doesn't need that parking space, some people use it.

On Monday morning, Yang Jingxing went to the school to report that there were many things. The piano department is an analysis of the "Sonata in D major", and the objective things in the form and structure have been written, almost detailed to each bar, which was done by Zhang Chujia and Professor Feng's teaching assistant, and more than a dozen pages are densely packed.

Yang Jingxing took a look at it and said that the senior sister's theory was certainly not a problem. As for the emotional connotation of the song, Yang Jingxing felt that it was better not to worry about it.

The hard difficulty of the song is quite a challenge for An Xin, but Yang Jingxing believes that she will be confident enough.

The matter of the composition department to publish "Yang Jingxing's Piano Sonata Collection" has already started, in fact, it is also simple, Puyin Publishing House has special talents to sort out the typesetting, and Yang Jingxing will review it after it is done.

The main thing that needs to be paid attention to is those labels, He Hongchui thinks that for the sake of those piano children, it is better to be more detailed, of course, Yang Jingxing has to do it himself. Especially for the Sonata in D major, although the piano department has praised it one after another, there is a lot of controversy about the details.

He Hongchui said: "Tell me to go to a meeting, how can I express my position? You can come by yourself!"

The three sonatas are accompanied by an etude, and the etude has no name, because "Gluttonous Cat" is really not serious, and Yang Jingxing is afraid of being scolded.

Yang Jingxing seems to be really a famous composer, and He Hongchui actually wants to get a first print of 3,000 copies. There are 3,000 copies, and only one-third of the books are forcibly handed by Quanpuyin. But if you put it in the bookstore, who knows Yang Jingxing?

However, Yang Jingxing doesn't have to worry about these things, Vice President He has already decided: "...... You think about it first, ask someone to help you write the preface, and it is best to have more influential people, one person or two sentences, and put a brief comment on the back cover. ”

Yang Jingxing had already thought about it: "Of course you can help me write." ”

He Honghui nodded: "Of course I can, but Ding Lao, Tang Qing, the president, Professor Li and Professor Gong, how can they arrange it reasonably...... It's your first time out of a score, so think it out for yourself. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "If I think about it, it's best not to do anything. ”

He Honghui was worried: "It's not impossible...... Let's discuss this matter again, you go to see Professor Gong first, and I've asked a few times. ”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I'll go now." ”

He Hongchui hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "Qi Qingnuo's side, I didn't ask about your affairs, you two will handle it yourself." ”

Yang Jingxing relaxed: "No problem......"

Gong Xiaoling was burying the first batch of correction homework in the office, and when she looked up and saw Yang Jingxing knocking on the door, she was gentle and enthusiastic: "Jingxing is back, come in ......."

Yang Jingxing was refreshed: "Are you looking for me?"

Gong Xiaoling nodded: "Sit ...... Feeling better, aren't you?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Hmm." ”

Gong Xiaoling also smiled: "...... Professor Li still knows you better than I do, and no one is allowed to disturb you, which seems to be the right symptom. ”

Yang Jingxing clarified: "I didn't have any symptoms, so I went to Quhang to see my friends and played for a few days." ”

Gong Xiaoling looked at Yang Jingxing, but her expression was still gentle, and then encouraged: "Take a break...... You see, in the freshman year, there are only a dozen subsections that few people have sorted out. "From the passages extracted from the interlude of Yang Jingxing's Sonata in D major for harmonic analysis, Gong Xiaoling is quite good at picking and finding a section where the use of chords and tonal layout are quite complicated.

Yang Jingxing also protested: "You let me make a good impression on my junior brothers and sisters." ”

Gong Xiaoling smiled: "Senior brothers and sisters are all role models for you." ”

Yang Jingxing was embarrassed haha.

Gong Xiaoling said: "We also chatted when I met Qi Qingnuo last week, and I was relieved to hear her...... Listening to you play your own work that day, my heart was so painful that I couldn't speak. ”

Yang Jingxing was disrespectful: "You are too exaggerated. ”

Gong Xiaoling reassured: "It's okay now, it will all pass, if you can't be a lover, be a good friend and confidant...... I know I shouldn't talk too much, you're going to be old, what's your name?

Yang Jingxing still knows: "Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine, I'm still friends with 306, and you still have to encourage them more." ”

Gong Xiaoling nodded movingly......

Yang Jingxing didn't stay with Gong Xiaoling for a long time, because he still had to see the principal. Puyin's pride was still not enough, and as far as Bert Green was going to come to give a lecture, he rose to the level of the principal. Lu Kaiping said that all this is the credit of the principal, without the principal, there would be no school celebration tour, and no one would know Yang Jingxing and Yu Xinting without the tour.

What the principal wants to discuss with Yang Jingxing is how to do this in the best interests of the school. Because it was a closed-door discussion between the two of them, Yang Jingxing boldly said his opinion, and felt that it could not be too grand or too cold, that is, it was neither humble nor arrogant. In addition to listening to lectures, you should also show the guests the teaching level and achievements of Puyin, you can choose a few excellent teachers and students to show, but you can't prepare too deliberately.

The key is to try to get this matter to the international media, such as gramophones or something, to expand the influence of the school.

The principal basically agreed: "The two of us must cooperate and communicate well in this matter......

But when it comes to the selection of people, it is inevitable that there will be a headache, let's just say that the Puhai Spring Music Festival, the Puyin special session is basically determined, but the question is the next selection of works, how to choose the method, there are so many teachers and students, or it is still the old way, the school organizing committee votes.

Yang Jingxing has participated in major events and thinks it is feasible, and he is still one of the members of the organizing committee.

However, the principal attaches the most importance to Ding Lao's book, and Tang Qing finally has definite news, if it goes well, the next step is to start the sorting and revision of all the manuscripts, which will be a heavy job, Yang Jingxing also has to participate, and he must be wholehearted......

Yang Jingxing said that there is absolutely no problem, Ding Lao is also his teacher.

Bidding farewell to the principal, Yang Jingxing went back to see Lu Kaiping. Lu Kaiping didn't care that he didn't participate in the decision-making of major matters, compared to Bert Green, who obviously can't force the piano department to grasp the big head, Lu Kaiping is more willing to spend more time on this year's master class and Taoli.

The master class will continue to be set during the National Day, and the piano children and parents are free, and then the peach and plum all over the world will be set at the end of October, and the iron will be struck while it is hot.

Li Yingzhen will retire after the spring semester next year, although it is certain that she will be rehired, but the school must say that Yang Jingxing has to perform better.

Again, this year's budget is definitely stretched compared to last year, less than half, so it is impossible to spend money on the kind of battle that last year did.

And Lu Kaiping is still embarrassed: "I can't say for sure...... Do you think you're having enough influence now?"

Yang Jingxing laughed out loud, and then looked at Lu Kaiping's serious appearance, and replied: "There should be a little bit in the school, with you, Professor Li and Director He as the backstage." ”

Lu Kai was calm: "I'm talking about international influence!"

Because there are no predecessors and the same type of reference, the director of the piano department can only use his own wisdom to analyze it. said that Yang Jingxing has no influence, Niu Ai has also seen her, those in the master class have also seen her, Qin Mengli has also seen it, and now the British have also seen it. Although sometimes as a practitioner is reluctant to admit it, but now we can face the reality, the circle of classical music is so big, and the circle of classical piano is even smaller, although the exchanges between peers are not very frequent......

But Lu Kaiping still felt: "Everyone has curiosity, even if it's me, if I hear how you Yang Jingxing is, and the people who say this are all loud, I definitely want to confirm whether it's true...... If you Yang Jingxing heard someone say that there is someone more powerful than you, although it is unlikely, if you say so, do you want to go and see it for yourself? At least find a recording to listen to?"

Looking at the director's eager eyes, Yang Jingxing nodded in embarrassment.

Lu Kaiping breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right! You think like this, not to mention other people's ......."

Lu Kaiping's idea is that if the money is not enough, he should use favors, but also the status of Puyin, so that those pianists and educators feel that it is an honor to be invited by Puyin, but money is not important, so that they will be worthwhile after they come!

Lu Kaiping pointed to the country: "On the invitation letter, all the professors signed it, plus your ...... Add the principal! Have a face!?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I have given me face." ”

Lu Kaiping shook his head solemnly: "No, I saw this sign last semester, but I'm not sure ......"

In fact, it is not very certain at present, so Lu Kaiping is like using this year as a verification, or to operate cautiously, carefully select the list of invitees, and will not bet all on the top of the pyramid. The invitation letter should be very appropriate, for example, each professor and Yang Jingxing should write an invitation to the performer......

If this year's master class continues to be successful, the fame of Pu Yin and Yang Jingxing will continue to spread, if Niu Ai puts the piano concerto in G major on the stage again, if Yu Xinting succeeds, and if An Xin can get the ideal results in the Leeds Piano Competition next year, then next year, Yang Jingxing can organize a master class for his mentor Li Yingzhen and peach and plum all over the world......

Lu Kaiping's unshirkable generosity shows that he also loves Li Yingzhen: "It can be named to commemorate Professor Li Yingzhen's 30 years of teaching Puyin International Piano Master Class, and Li Yingzhen's peach and Li are all over the world piano event...... If you want to hold a commemorative party separately, you can do it, I support it unconditionally!"

Yang Jingxing was convinced: "I have also thought about what you said, but I am not as open as you think." ”

Then it's decided, try.

After finishing this circle, it was almost lunch time, so Yang Jingxing went to the cafeteria to seize the opportunity.

After Yang Jingxing sat down with the food, the large army gradually came, and then Qi Qingnuo also came, together with Peng Yiwei and several classmates. Qi Qingnuo is still youthful and energetic, the weather is quite warm, wearing a small black and white plaid shirt and a maroon thin coat, and still carrying a small backpack.

Under the careful peeking or generous observation in front of everyone, Yang Jingxing raised his head and puffed up his chest to look at Qi Qingnuo, after eye contact, Yang Jingxing raised his chopsticks to say hello, Qi Qingnuo also smiled brightly and nodded slightly, but it was not as brilliant as Yang Jingxing, and it looked casual.

Qi Qingnuo and his classmates went to find food, Yang Jingxing continued to eat, and Puyin's small cafeteria seemed to be a lot quieter.

Within a few minutes, in front of everyone's eyes, Qi Qingnuo took his plate and walked in the direction of Yang Jingxing. Yang Jingxing was sitting facing the gate, but he seemed to sense that his ex-girlfriend was in the direction of his back, and looked back, but he turned around very much, but his eyes were in contact.

Qi Qingnuo stood opposite Yang Jingxing, put down the plate first, and beat the big pot of dishes, braised fish pieces, small chops, shredded potatoes and tomatoes and eggs, plus two taels of white rice, and his appetite was still good.

Qi Qingnuo sat down opposite Yang Jingxing and smiled at his ex-boyfriend again: "Is it okay?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I'm afraid you won't give face." ”

Qi Qingnuo picked up the chopsticks: "I watched the sonata, it's still your level." ”

Yang Jingxing laughed dryly.

Qi Qingnuo started eating, still not so ladylike, after adding a small chop to a mouthful of rice, he raised his eyes again, and asked, "You came back yesterday?"

Yang Jingxing nodded, and then smiled: "Lu Lin and I went to play with Xu Wei, on Friday afternoon, we had to wait for them to finish class, Wang Manyi introduced us to an elective course to pass the time, taught Western etiquette, said that there are many beautiful women, we went...... Guess who the teacher is?"

Qi Qingnuo thought for two seconds: "What's it called...... Wu Ying, huh?"

Yang Jingxing was frustrated: "It's boring, just guess it." ”

Qi Qingnuo let out a loud haha, startling others, she hurriedly whispered: "You still need to guess...... Recognize you. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Chatted a few words...... Ask why you didn't go, I'm embarrassed to say, it's perfunctory. ”

Qi Qingnuo learned a lesson and chuckled quietly: "I'm tired enough here, oops, don't mention it......" Continue eating.

Yang Jingxing's plate was not much left, so he had to save a little: "Do you want to drink water?"

Qi Qingnuo shook his head: "No." ”

Chai Litian and Shao Fangjie came together, but they actually ignored the adviser and the head of the regiment, and even took a detour without saying hello.

Qi Qingnuo found out: "These two guys, what do you mean?"

Yang Jingxing was proud: "Eccentric me." ”

Qi Qingnuo giggled again, and reminded her ex-boyfriend calmly: "Don't wait for me." ”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Then I'll go first and notify me if there's something." ”

Qi Qingnuo nodded: "Okay." ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Yang Jingxing stood up and strode towards the door of the cafeteria, only nodding to Xu Xuesi, who was looking at him, without stopping.

It's not April yet, and the sun outside is a bit harsh.
