Chapter 0301: You Still Have Me!
After Ji Ming returned to Beijing, he attended the official rehearsal of Professor Zou's student concert the next day, and this time all the students who participated in the concert were present, including Teacher Gong Linna, who met for the first time.
"Hello. β
Gong Linna is not young, and she doesn't look particularly so-called frozen age, but when she stands in front of her and smiles, you think she is very young and childlike - probably people who pursue pure things will be similar.
Gong Linna, who is famous for "Nervous", has actually had some works and awards in China before, if she continues to develop step by step, she may either follow the path of Wu Jing, a national singer in the system, or go to Han Hong, who is comfortable between pop and nationality. Of course, after different choices are made, the results will naturally not be the same.
Collecting music in various parts of the country, touring in European countries, and doing music research...... And after "Nervous" became popular, with the name of the queen of the Divine Comedy, there was another mission to promote new art music.
She should be having fun.
"I listened to your song," Gong Linna read it up and down to Ji Ming: "It's really talented, after learning for such a short time, you can sing to such a good degree, I am in Europe, in China, I have seen very few such talents." β
Ji Ming was praised a little ...... is used to it, in fact, he has also received a lot of praise for his performance, but it is not as direct and powerful as vocal music - because as an actor, acting well seems to be within his duty, but when it comes to vocal music, it is very special, and he quickly reaches a level, which is especially eye-catching.
Anyway, so far, those who have talked to him about vocal music and singing have started from Wang Mingzong, the earliest vocal teacher of Chinese opera, to Huang Chao, the producer of "God of Medicine", to Xu Zheng, Wen Muye, and the leading actors of "God of Medicine...... Until the end of this concert, the praise was closely related to his learning process.
It's pretty shocking, too.
Wu Bixia's students later felt more and more that they were not very good, and several top students in the Department of Chinese Opera and Musical Theatre and the Department of Singing and Singing were said to be quite obscure - if they couldn't compare with their peers in alto and upper tones, even if they couldn't compare with their school's ace major, the drama performance major, they couldn't compare with vocal music, which was really disgraceful.
This is how to attract hatred.
Today's rehearsal task is particularly heavy, so many singers, dozens of songs, have to go on stage to test the equipment, test the state, and deal with many unexpected situations, such as the microphone has no voice, such as the speaker is blown up, so there is not much time left for them to greet. Ji Ming and Teacher Gong chatted for two or three sentences, complimented each other, and prepared separately.
Ji Ming's singing has not yet reached the level of "specialization and primary", he has been practicing, but he is still a little close, I don't know if there is no pressure to officially appear on stage, and there is no similar experience before, so he is stuck there, he can only wait for the official performance to watch it, it should be about the same, he measured it himself, it is already infinitely close.
The same is a chorus "Momery" and a solo "Right Now".
"Did he study in Europe or the United States?" asked Gong Linna.
If it was before, Gong Linna was not sure, but after the last rehearsal, she saw a small video in the WeChat group, and she was very surprised, and asked something similar, and Wu Bixia gave her a negative answer.
No, never studied abroad, or lived abroad.
"No, he was completely self-taught in the country, and even my teacher didn't teach him for a long time. The teacher said that when he first taught him, he already had a good vocal skills - he studied acting at the best drama university in China, and there were also vocal courses. But it's nowhere near as it is today, so-" Gong Linna tilted her head and thought for a while: "So amazing? So incredible? Anyway, the progress is very fast, the kind of speed that makes you unbelievable." β
"Genius?"
"There is no doubt about it. β
Lao Luo sighed and narrowed his eyes: "I always feel that this kind of genius is difficult to understand, maybe there is a genius in the musical range, maybe there is also a genius in understanding the lyrics and reading the score, but how can someone master another cultural art form so quickly in a completely different language and cultural environment, this is incredible." β
"Genius and unbelievable, aren't they a pair of synonyms?"
Lao Luo smiled and nodded: "Yes, I think he should go to Europe, or the United States to study, well, or experience for a while, he can correct some of his flaws in these Western arts, and he has the opportunity to succeed there." β
"It can be hard. Gong Linna followed Ji Ming's singing, nodded slightly and lowered her chin, raised her chin, as if intoxicated: "He is one of the most famous stars in China, very expensive kind, do you think he may want to be like me back then, give up here and go to Europe together, go to those small theaters and small stages, and sing to a few people?"
When she went to Germany with Lao Luo to promote Chinese new art music, she was quite frustrated - people didn't know Chinese music at all, let alone new art music. Single-digit viewers are not very uncommon cases.
Lao Luo shrugged his shoulders: "Don't many people in China like to go to the West to perform?"
Laugh at.
Ji Ming stepped down after singing "Right Now", Lao Luo couldn't help but say again: "He is really very infectious, you know, I think the Chinese audience will hear his performance as refreshing as the first time I heard you sing folk songs, and then indulge in it, of course, also addicted to you." β
What a German.
......
"This time it's much more stable than the last time. Wu Bixia looked like she wanted to pat Ji Ming's shoulder, but unfortunately she wasn't tall enough, so Ji Ming bent down to invite her, so she patted it hahaha: "Not bad, not bad." β
"Lao Luo has been praising you. Gong Linna looked at Lao Luo.
"I think you sing very Westernly, and it's rare to hear such a pure foreign musical in China. β
Domestic, foreign...... You're really the main theme.
"Thank you. β
"Maybe you have the opportunity to go to London, Paris, or Broadway, of course, it may not be as popular as you are in China, but I think if you want to thoroughly understand the way Western musicals and operas are performed, you should take a trip. β
Lao Luo is a little naΓ―ve - this is definitely a compliment, this gentleman came to China from Germany to learn guqin, and then met Gong Linna, and then encouraged her to quit the iron rice bowl in the radio art troupe at that time, and the two went to all parts of the country to collect style, and later felt that the domestic music environment was too impetuous - at that time it was "Mice Love Rice" and "Perfume is Poisonous" When this kind of saliva song was rampant, the two simply went to Europe to promote Chinese music, and the bumps and bumps were not without results, but because of the general environment, Oriental art was not strong enough.
After "Worried" unexpectedly became popular, the two naively thought that the opportunity to promote their ideas in China had come, so they returned to China. But who would have thought that "Worried" just triggered a burst of entertainment carnival, even if she later made works of a similar style, when she wanted to continue the momentum, it was difficult to continue, they realized that they were too optimistic, so they calmed down and did it slowly, gnawing little by little - this is why Gong Linna was rarely heard singing "Nervous" by herself later, just for entertainment, there is no such meaning.
It is normal for such an old Luo to directly let Ji Ming go to a foreign theater to study.
"If I have the opportunity, I am very willing," Ji Ming said quite conclusively.
This is indeed his idea, no matter how good the koi is, his level will always improve, and he still has to rely on one performance after another, one play after another to temper it. It's like he has also improved in the rehearsal of "The Last Emperor" in Chinese opera, but it is not the same as going to Renyi to rehearse this play.
As far as musical theatre is concerned, there are only two peaks in the world, one is the West End of London, the king of tradition, and the other is Broadway in New York, the king of business.
"If you need help, I have some friends in Europe who can be introduced to you when the time comes. β
"Oh thanks, I'll have a treat later, thank you first. β
Hearing the treat, several senior sisters came over, looking like a big eater - in fact, Ji Ming is really glamorous, he didn't get a penny for acting in "The Wandering Earth", he still relied on commercial performances to save a little money to buy a house, looking at his handsome face, everyone couldn't believe that he was so miserable.
......
This rehearsal, Chu Qing didn't go to see it - after Ji Ming returned to Beijing this time, he found that Chu Qing was so nervous.
Coupled with her face, it was cold and cold, and ordinary people couldn't see the nervousness, so it seemed that only Ji Ming knew that Chu Qing's nervousness was unprecedentedβhe didn't know very well whether it was because of the problem of apprenticeship, or whether he wanted to participate in the Isaac Stern competition itself.
He pressed a string of notes on the piano, the most familiar fragment of "Love_story".
"Do you remember the first time we worked together?" Ji Ming said about the time in Sanlitun: "When I saw you for the first time, I didn't expect that this little girl looked cold and deserted, and she dared to play the piano in Sanlitun, which is really unseemly." β
Chu Qing was stunned for a while, put down the piano, and didn't say anything.
"I always feel that you are not as brave as you were when you played the violin now," Ji Ming approached her and wrapped his arms around her: "Is it because of me?"
Is it because of Ji Ming?
Chu Qing herself is not sure whether it is the pressure that Ji Ming is getting better and better on her, or whether she just came to this time on her own - after all, she is a junior, and soon she will be a senior, and the pressure of her career is right now. But as Ji Ming said, she is indeed not as pure and brave as before, she wants to put too many things into the sound of the piano, but she is afraid of the difficulties and consequences of doing so, what if she does not finish at all during the competition?
Ji Ming looked at her swaying eyelashes, Chu Qing rarely made a wish, and the last time she apprenticed to Lu Siqing, it seemed to be the first time in Ji Ming's memory - it can be seen how much she yearns for this opportunity. Because of this, Ji Ming actually didn't have the opportunity to plug her directly.
"In the beginning, when we were together, I always felt that we should achieve each other, not sacrifice each other. Just like when I went mad, your piano will always be my anchor in reality, a beacon for me to return to my soul - I think maybe I didn't do it well enough to make you feel that way. I shouldn't be your pressure, I should be your support, you know?
You still have me!
Anytime, in any situation, at any moment when you need it, I will absolutely support you, for no reason. β
Chu Qing's body trembled a little, she leaned on Ji Ming, this temperature, this taste, she was very familiar with it: "...... If I want to study and work abroad in the future, if we can't balance my family. β
"Of course, you can go as long as you feel needed. I can go to you, no problem, and even if we agree, I can go with you, just like someone told me today that I can go abroad to study their drama performances, and I think it's good, why not? At the beginning, how high you can fly, if I'm in a higher place, I'll wait for you, if I'm in a lower place, I'll go back and chase you - high or low, in itself, can't decide anything. We have the courage to pursue such an ethereal thing as art, so why should we worry about you for the resilience of our feelings.
No matter where you fly, I can find you, because I'm not looking at you with my eyes, but the throbbing sound you hear right now, and it will tell me where you are. β
Sour, too sour.
But the lives of the two artists are so sour and so innocent and moving.
Since she met Lu Siqing, Chu Qing's heart began to struggle violently, she originally thought that her achievements could not be compared with Ji Ming no matter what, so in their future small family, she could be maintained as a stable party. But since the competition, apprenticeship, and even a few days ago, Teacher Lu told her that she had the opportunity to send her to the Juilliard School for further study at that level, and had the opportunity to participate in Paganini and Tchaikovsky...... In these top competitions, she saw the future of her artistic path, and she would become a "kapok", and all the original ideas would no longer exist.
This uncertainty even made her want to give up her apprenticeship, and she gave up going higher and higher.
Ji Ming was of course clear about his thoughts at this time.
Too silly.
"Are we really going to be together forever?"
"Of course, I'm also afraid that my aunt's powder will turn black, and she will scold me on the Internet until I can't take care of myself. Although Ji Ming did not use such a strategic weapon as Chu's mother, she was an old man who had no teacher, this time Chuqing went back for the New Year, and found that Chu's mother had actually helped him fight on the Internet, and with the skill of scolding micro-business to delete friends, she was invincible.
I am already quite familiar with the abbreviations of various fan circles, and many words that even Chu Qing can't understand, and she despises them.
"NMZL, it's your mom who blew up, stupid. β
Chu's mother went crazy and didn't even let go of herself......
"Poof," Chu Qing thought of this, and couldn't help laughing, the stone in her heart gradually let go, and the whole person seemed to float lightly, feeling that the world was clear: "Ah, Ji Ming, I love you very much." β
"Don't say it," Ji Ming stopped her mouth: "I know." β
β...... Don't act in bloody dramas. β
