Chapter 63: Eat and drink for nothing

Xu Sanguan was speechless, and he had to admit that what Meng Han said was indeed very reasonable.

At the same time, it was the first time he heard that Uncle A on the Internet had won the attention of many provincial and national opera singers, including the Imperial Capital Opera House.

It's only been less than a month, and he can get such a result with only three works, even if Xu Sanguan has been in this industry for many years, it seems that it is the first time he has seen it, so there is an irrepressible surprise on his face.

As the music director of the Jiangnan Opera House, Xu Sanguan really sighed at the current dilemma encountered in the development of the Jiangnan Opera House.

And the handsome young man in front of him was the top pianist of the Jiangnan Opera House two years ago.

But since participating in the Chopin International Piano Competition held in 2020 and winning the third place luckily, Meng Han has instantly become famous, becoming an international grand pianist, and also out of the control of the Jiangnan Opera House.

Today's Meng Han is not only a leading pianist in China, but also has a lot of attention in the world.

In the first half of this year alone, Meng Han held concert tours in Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong and other regions, and his popularity further increased.

"Okay, don't talk about this, I'm going to participate in the sea exchange meeting led by Lin Weiyin later, since the Chopin International Piano Competition, I haven't seen her for two years, she has developed well abroad in recent years, and has just won the title of United Nations Peace Ambassador. ”

Meng Han put on a formal suit and made an appointment with a stylist to come to the door, then smiled at Xu Sanguan and said: "This exchange meeting basically gathers musicians from the entire East China Sea and surrounding cities, which can be called a bright star. ”

When Xu Sanguan heard this, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Meng Han, I came to you this time just for this matter, you know, such a private exchange meeting has always required an invitation letter, not to mention that this party is still on the Geshida cruise ship, there is only one left and right channel, and there is no chance to fish in troubled waters......"

Meng Han glanced at Xu Sanguan: "What does Mr. Zhao mean?"

"No, it's my own will. ”

Xu Sanguan smiled: "It's always right to know more friends, of course, if you don't want to, it's okay, I'll find someone else." ”

"I can't give you face, just follow me at night. Meng Han nodded.

Located on the Huangpu River, as one of the few remaining 10,000-ton cruise ships in the river, Costa has obviously won the attention of all travelers since its maiden voyage in 2013, and almost every visitor to the Huangpu River wants to take a ride on the Costa River under the star-studded night sky to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Huangpu River.

But the ticket price of Costa is also very acceptable, with an average single ticket of 5799 yuan, unless there is an occasional event, otherwise, this price will never fluctuate.

It is worth mentioning that the maritime music exchange meeting led by the famous pianist Lin Weiyin and others was actively invited by the organizers, and every guest who can arrive at Costa Cruises tonight can enjoy the imperial service for free.

The prerequisite is that you must be eligible to be invited.

Liao Yuan looked at the invitation letter in his hand, turned his head to Zhang Chao and asked, "How many people will participate in this exchange meeting?"

"There are probably dozens, pianists alone. Zhang Chao replied while driving the car: "Of course, in addition to these pianists, there are also a lot of other idle people, and it is estimated that there must be one or two hundred!"

After Liao Yuan and Zhang Chao arrived at the Huangpu River, they were shocked by the scene of countless reporters and passers-by by the dock.

The lights of the entire pier are very weak, but under the crazy photos of reporters, the surroundings are as bright as day.

After the news of this exchange meeting was released, it caused a sensation in the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, and the news quickly spread, and reporters from major newspapers and television stations also came one after another on the day of the exchange meeting.

But because there was no invitation, these people had to be blocked on the shore in the end, but even so, every pianist who appeared on the stage was killed by a burst of film from reporters.

Compared with those musicians with oily heads and pink faces and dressed up to attend, although Liao Yuan also wore a white shirt and black trousers, the whole person did look a little listless, and his outfit looked extremely ordinary.

Zhang Chao is also quite helpless about this, other pianists have makeup artists and stylists to take care of their images, and they all look like they are going to hold concerts, but Liao Yuan is ordinary like an audience.

However, when Liao Yuan showed the invitation, even if he was dressed ordinarily, it still attracted the attention of many people around him.

On the deck of the cruise ship, there are many celebrities and musicians, smiling and talking, elegant and dignified, as far as the eye can see, it looks like a fertile ground for high society.

"The pianists and practitioners in the industry who appear here basically have an annual income of less than one million. ”

Zhang Chao whispered to Liao Yuan: "This is a middle-class carnival. ”

Liao Yuan sighed, he was not very interested in this, he was pulled in as soon as he got off work, but he was not hungry, and he was not very interested in anything when his stomach was empty.

After moving his gaze slightly, he ran to the cafeteria, picked up the plate, carefully selected the food, and began to eat and drink.

Zhang Chao originally looked upright and smiled and talked with friends he knew, but when he saw Liao Yuan's oily face eating in the distance, he suddenly gurgled in his belly, so he avoided the strange eyes of others, and also tiptoed to the restaurant to eat and drink.

The cruise ship, which usually costs nearly 6,000 yuan to board, is now supplied to them for free, and Liao Yuan has no scruples about eating.

Although it can't be compared with the exquisite meals in the main restaurant, the fruits, Western food, Chinese food, and desserts in the cafeteria still make Liao Yuan addicted.

"Alas, depraved, depraved. ”

Zhang Chao's mouth was full of greasy, he peeled the shrimp, enjoying the delicious taste in his mouth, and whispered: "The exchange meeting will officially enter the theme soon, Mr. Liao, you have to go up and show your hand later, otherwise, we won't have a chance to eat and drink for nothing next time." ”

Liao Yuan stuffed a rice cake into his mouth, and asked strangely, "Then how did you get the invitation this time?"

Zhang Chao drank a sip of boiled water to rinse his mouth, and then swallowed the saliva vigorously into his abdomen, before he smiled and said: "Mountain people have their own clever plans, in short, you just do what I say, otherwise there will be no next time." ”
