The audience entered the arena one after another, but the first few rows remained empty. Li Yingzhen called Yang Jingxing to confirm that he and Yu Xinting had arrived.

Qi Qingnuo also called and asked Yang Jingxing when it would end: "...... Ten o'clock, I'll wait for you at school. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "It's too late, it's half past ten o'clock, you go home early, I'll call you." ”

Qi Qingnuo was wordy: "I'll wait for you." ”

Yu Xinting is so idle that she cares about everything: "What's the matter?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Qi Qingnuo has something to tell me, about the orchestra. ”

Yu Xinting asked, "What do you say?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Work is miscellaneous. ”

Yu Xinting nodded and looked at her watch: "There are still twenty minutes." ”

The first person to take the initiative to greet Yang Jingxing was the principal guzheng of the Puhai Chinese Orchestra, the principal seat was in the fifth row, Yang Jingxing shook hands with her and stood to see her back to her seat, all saying kind words.

Then it was Yang Jingxing's turn to get up, and pulled Yu Xinting to the side of the aisle, because the principal and a group of people came. After the principal's gaze fell on him, Yang Jingxing bowed and nodded: "Hello dean, Professor Tang is good ......"

Yu Xinting also repeated Yang Jingxing's movements.

The principal nodded in concern: "It's here." ”

Yang Jingxing explained: "Professor Li's lover is sick and can't come, so let me take her to wish the premiere of the president's work a success. ”

The principal said that he was also concerned, and then introduced: "This is my wife." ”

Yang Jingxing and Yu Xinting both greeted their teachers and mothers, and the principal's wife laughed and shook hands. The principal's wife has an elegant temperament, and the dress is also beautiful.

The principal also introduced his friend, an internationally renowned cello who had returned from France, and this time there was also a special concert. Of course, Yang Jingxing has admired the name for a long time, but the other party seems to have heard of him.

The music circle doesn't seem to be big, and the people who came in the first few rows made Yang Jingxing get up many times, in addition to the teachers and professors of the school, there are also some experts who knew during the May Day period.

The only one who doesn't need Yang Jingxing's respect is Chen Yu. Chen Yu's seat was on the left side of the fifth row, and after Yang Jingxing nodded and greeted her, she came over, also wearing a bright and beautiful dress, and when she took the initiative to shake hands with Yang Jingxing, the diamond-encrusted bracelet shone brightly: "You are also here." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Join in the fun." ”

Chen Yu smiled and shook hands with Yu Xinting: "See you again, it's so beautiful today." ”

Yu Xinting smiled dryly: "You are beautiful." ”

In the end, she is a person who has been famous for a long time, Chen Yu is very skilled on this occasion, and she is obviously much more famous than Yang Jingxing, and there are many people who take the initiative to greet her.

Yu Xinting paid more attention to Chen Yu for a while, leaned closer to Yang Jingxing and said in a low voice: "You didn't promise her last time, and she is not enthusiastic about you today." ”

Yang Jingxing blamed: "You are a pianist, you came to listen to a concert, and you are still so gossipy." ”

Yu Xinting was quiet for a moment, and then thought of a reason in surprise: "We are friends before we say it, and everyone gossips." ”

Wen Fujiang also came, and like things gathered, he was with a bunch of officials. They are all unknown to Yang Jingxing, but Wen Fujiang introduced them very enthusiastically. Fortunately, the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the chairman of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the director of the Cultural Development Foundation, and the director of the Art Center...... all showed respect for literary and artistic workers, and almost all shook hands with Yang Jingxing.

Although Wen Fujiang did not introduce Yu Xinting, because she had been standing with Yang Jingxing, some people took the initiative to shake hands with her, and they all smiled warmly and caringly.

After Wen Fujiang and his group went to sit down for a while, the deputy director of the Propaganda Department looked back, then simply got up and came over, and sat next to Yang Jingxing and cared: "I talked to Troupe Leader Wen before, the orchestra is almost ready, and you and Troupe Leader Qi have also worked hard, thank you very much." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I didn't do anything. ”

The vice minister also said: "Tomorrow Minister Chen and I will accompany Secretary Meng and them over, we will get to know each other first, take care of each other, and strive to let Secretary Meng see the results of our literary and artistic work." ”

Forced to shake hands again, Yang Jingxing said: "I am not from the orchestra, but I have the courage to welcome you on their behalf, Xie Lu Xie The government's concern for the orchestra." ”

The deputy minister nodded: "Yes, now the government attaches importance to the development of the cultural industry, and literary and artistic work needs young people like you and Head Qi." Let's talk tomorrow. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I wish you a happy listening tonight. ”

This time, the deputy minister didn't shake hands with Yang Jingxing, he looked for Yu Xinting, and Yu Xinting had no choice but to bite the bullet and say goodbye.

After observing the surrounding forms, Yu Xinting and Yang Jingxing bit their ears: "These people are so annoying, no wonder Professor Li wants me to learn from you." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You don't need to learn, you are better than me." ”

Yu Xinting was alert: "You sarcastically mock me!"

Yang Jingxing said: "Really, why do you learn these clichés and useless things? It is best to be neither humble nor arrogant like you, and have the arrogance of an artist." ”

Yu Xinting hehehe, embarrassedly: "But this is necessary, not cliché." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "This is not a piano, there is no technical content, you don't need to learn, as long as your skin is thick enough, I don't want your skin to become thicker." ”

Yu Xinting was embarrassed: "Then what did Professor Li say I should do?"

Yang Jingxing said: "You just said that I taught it, and let her scold me." ”

Yu Xinting was envious: "Professor Li never really scolded you...... But no one dares to say that they are protecting you. ”

......

As the auditorium gradually filled, and then a few more foreigners came, the lights in the hall became gentler, and the lights on the stage came on, indicating that the opening ceremony was about to begin, and the noise was a little quieter.

The audience was still polite, and when the symphony orchestra took its seat on the stage, applause gradually rang out. After the orchestra took their places for a while, Zhang Jiahuo strode onto the stage, and the applause was instantly enthusiastic. Yu Xinting looked at Yang Jingxing, and had to slap a few times.

Zhang Jiahuo appeared on the podium for a few seconds, then turned around, gestured for the orchestra to prepare, and then played the opening music. This opening music was commissioned by He Hongchui a few years ago, and it is worthy of the level of a composition professor in every way, but it is not so classic.

At the end of the opening song, the host took the stage in the warm applause of the audience, and then a bunch of lines that were not many fresh but full of passion, and then unsurprisingly invited the leader to the stage to give a speech. The leader is the deputy mayor of Puhai City in charge of culture and one of the directors of the organizing committee of the festival.

After the leader took the stage, he shook hands with Zhang Jiahuo, who took the initiative, and then did not go on and on, and soon announced the start of the Puhai Spring International Music Festival, because he was followed by a leader, another director of the organizing committee of the music festival, and a colleague who was also the director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee.

After a few minutes of generous and steady expression by the minister, it was finally the artist's turn. A French modernist composer who is quite famous in professional circles. There was no translator for a bunch of French, but the audience still gave a round of applause, probably guessing that the music should begin.

But there is also Zhang Jiahuo, he should be the protagonist tonight, so he has to say a few words. Zhang Jiahuo is quite good at speech, and his words have simply doubled the audience's expectations and love for music.

It's not a long drag, but at half-past seven, the music can finally begin. The host carefully introduced the first work, which is a new symphony performed for the first time, composed by a well-known domestic composer against the background of modern urban life, which is impossible for Beethoven and Mozart to achieve.

I have to say that it is a very serious work, a truly sincere new work, at least from Yang Jingxing's musical experience, there is no trace of modification and patchwork. In terms of the many theoretical courses offered by the composition department, this work also performs well, the orchestration is rigorous, and the texture is fine......

The form of the work is also innovative, but the feeling of creating no one is eye-catching, and most of the melodies are not fresh enough.

There are many, many excellent composers in this world, and they are trying their best to create good music. But the audience is very picky, and they only want to listen to what they like. The vast majority of listeners are unwilling and unable to study how much composer has put their own efforts into a work they don't like, nor will they change their opinion or even like a bad piece because of its excellent professional performance.

For listeners, the most important thing is just to "sound good". For a work to sound good, of course, it must rely on reasonable orchestration, harmony, and texture, but the most important thing is the melody.

Today's listeners can easily get the best and most classic melodies, and they don't have to look for a needle in a haystack like music lovers hundreds of years ago. In the past, composers made money by publishing sheet music, but now there are not many composers who can live on royalties.

But today's first new work is not unpleasant, it is also good, just like hearing a song that I have never heard well, although there are not many surprises for the ears, but I am happy to listen to it, because it is new after all.

Nearly half an hour later, the audience applauded, someone in the front row stood up, people nearby responded, and then many people stood up. Yang Jingxing's applause was warm, and so was Yu Xinting.

The composer came up to the stage and bowed in thanks, he deserved to be a composer of integrity compared to some people who changed a work again and again.

After applauding for a while, he sat down with the crowd, and Yu Xinting asked Yang Jingxing to comment. Yang Jingxing said: "Very good, did you pay attention to the middle of the first movement, that C major is very good......"

After listening to Yang Jingxing's honest selection of many advantages, Yu Xinting asked, "What about the orchestra and conductor?"

Yang Jingxing smiled, leaning towards Yu Xinting and whispering: "Frankly speaking, the command is not very good." ”

Yu Xinting smiled happily and rubbed her ears.

Next is the work of Principal Puyin, symphonic poems, to write such works, you need not only musical talent, but also literary talent.

When the host introduced, there was warm applause from the audience, and Yu Xinting and Yang Jingxing worked very hard.

Very good works, it can be said to be elegant and refined, and it sounds good, no wonder the principal still has a very high status in Europe and the United States. Yang Jingxing's works are not very elegant, so he told Yu Xinting a lot of advantages, which made Yu Xinting want to listen to it again.

There were no big surprises, but none of the five big new works at the opening disappointed. I believe that most of the audience are old music fans, and they all know that the world of Taoist music is not full of classics and geniuses, and there are still many ordinary ordinary things worth appreciating.

There were many applause, and each time it was very warm. Especially those in the industry, it seems that they are less demanding than the audience. Of course, flattering each other and squeezing each other out are always inextricably linked.

At ten o'clock, the concert was about to end, and although the host was still making a generous statement, the audience had to face the problem of driving home, so they began to leave. Yu Xinting was not in a hurry, and half-followed Yang Jingxing, watching him say hello and say goodbye everywhere.

The principal still cared about the students, and specially came to urge Yang Jingxing: "Go back to school early, drive, pay attention to safety." ”

Yang Jingxing nodded, happy: "I learned the counterpoint of your second movement. ”

The principal hehe: "Study hard, I am happy to learn all the things of the teachers in the school." ”

Chen Yu was also greeting around, and when he met Yang Jingxing, he smiled: "What do you think?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's worth the trip. ”

Chen Yu nodded: "I also think it's good...... Are you going back to school?"

Yang Jingxing nodded.

Chen Yu was kind: "Do you want to send it, I drove." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I also opened." ”

Chen Yu asked, "Where did you stop?"

So we went to pick up the car together and talked about the piano concert of Zai He Luting on the night of the 5th. Chen Yu and Chen Qunguan know each other, and they are still a little related, Chen Qunguan is Chen Yu's uncle's generation, but they are not very close.

asked each other, and Zhilu said that when Chen Yu would come to power, he had not decided what to play like Yang Jingxing.

Chen Yu asked Yu Xinting: "What about you?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "She is still in the dormant period." ”

Chen Yu smiled: "I heard that you and another student of Professor Li have been taught by him, it must be very good." ”

Yu Xinting hehe. Yang Jingxing said: "It's very good, but the teachers and they are very demanding of themselves. ”

Chen Yu smiled: "The more I talk about it, the more I look forward to it." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I won't let you down. ”

The three of them walked side by side, with Yang Jingxing in the middle. The evening breeze seemed to be a little cool, and Chen Yu took out a thin silk scarf and wrapped it around his neck, which matched the dress very well. Yang Jingxing felt hot, took off his dress jacket, and ripped off his bow tie.

Arrived at the parking lot without saying a word, and Chen Yu drove a red modern car, which looked very beautiful.

Before getting into the car, Chen Yu shook hands with Yang Jingxing again: "See you again, Xie Lu, thank you for sending me." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Thank you for sending us." ”

Chen Yu met Yu Xinting again, and Yu Xinting nodded.

After getting in the car, Yu Xinting said: "Professor Li also asked me to prepare a dress and learn makeup. ”

Yang Jingxing looked at Yu Xinting: "I think it looks good to wear it like this, but maybe I think it looks so good in a dress, and I will know it when I see it." ”

Yu Xinting planned: "Senior sister said that it is cheap to order, as long as a few hundred, at most a thousand yuan, it can be exactly the same as a famous brand." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "How can a pianist wear counterfeit goods, and it won't be very expensive to buy...... When you congratulate you on taking the stage and play me again, I will send a dress to show my appreciation. ”

Yu Xinting shook her head: "It's not good, I'll buy it myself...... They think you bought everything from me. He looked at his fingers touching the instrument panel.

Yang Jingxing asked, "Who thinks?"

Yu Xinting raised her eyes and was angry and aggrieved: "I said that you won the watch, she still asked, and pretended to be joking, I can see it...... Actually, I can afford it myself, but I can't bear it, I buy all the clothes myself!"

Yang Jingxing asked, "Who exalted me like this?"

Yu Xinting shook her head: "The ...... in the bedroom next door She always speaks sourly, and she is sarcastic about others when she doesn't look good. I'm not as beautiful as Qi Qingnuo, she has!?"

Yang Jingxing said heartlessly: "Her popularity is definitely not good." ”

Yu Xinting nodded again and again: "It's just that I don't like her very much! Kong Chenhe doesn't pay attention to her at all, and he still wants to come to our bedroom!"

Yang Jingxing asked, "What's your name?"

Yu Xinting compared: "This kind of short hair, a little pointed face, small eyes. Once you picked me up and An Xin for dinner, she greeted us and deliberately asked us to have a treat!"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Remember, you don't pay attention to her." ”

Yu Xinting was embarrassed: "Actually, sometimes she is not bad, she has to bring me food when I am sick." But you're upsetting me again today?"

Yang Jingxing asked, "Have you said good things about me again?"

Yu Xinting grinned and then took out an unhappy expression: "She knew that I wanted to come with you, so she said there again, saying, if only I had you so beautiful, it would be better if Qi Qingnuo was beautiful......"

Yang Jingxing wondered: "What if you are so beautiful? Does she have a lot of apples that have nowhere to throw them?"

Yu Xinting smiled reluctantly and anxiously: "She doesn't have good friends herself, so she suspects what happened to others." ”

Yang Jingxing asked, "Do you want to be angry?"

Yu Xinting asked, "How do you get out?"

Yang Jingxing said: "You and her have changed your face, and you will know how to change your face, right? When the time comes, you will still be my good friend, she is not, and she will be angry with her." ”

Yu Xinting hehehehe: "I don't." ”

Yang Jingxing was sad: "Do you think I have fallen in love with your face? Yes, I admit that you are good-looking and cute, but I am not a person who only looks at your appearance." ”

Yu Xinting smiled modestly: "I don't look good......"

Yang Jingxing said: "Whatever you want, it doesn't matter if you think you're ugly, I think it's okay to look good." ”

Yu Xinting hurriedly asked, "What if others think I'm ugly?"

Yang Jingxing was very unrighteous: "It's better, no one earns it." ”

Yu Xinting was unhappy and laughed, and said: "But there are beautiful women around you, many people will think like that, thinking that you only like beautiful women......"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I admit that I am lucky." Beauty is easier to accept, but if you have more contact, it doesn't matter if you look good or not, I like An Xin too...... It's not that she's not good-looking. ”

Yu Xinting smiled: "We know you...... But other people will think that you are so unattainable, Kong Chenhe is nervous when she sees you, she says that she keeps talking when she is nervous. ”

Yang Jingxing asked: "Is she nervous about her apples?" and tell her to rest assured, I don't grab anyone's. ”

Yu Xinting giggled and got carried away: "I think the luckiest thing for me is to know you." ”

Yang Jingxing squinted: "If you don't like apples so much, don't buy them." ”
