Chapter 337: Wandering Singer

The next day, Ye Zheng rushed to the outskirts of Yanjing and took his special car. Zhou Ke and Sun Zhaofu felt that Ye Zheng, as the chairman, and now he is a well-known figure in the country, it is really difficult to lose money if he does not have a special car, so Sun Zhaofu directly waved his hand to Ye Zheng during the New Year, and said that it was a New Year's gift from his uncle, which was regarded as New Year's money and could not be refused.

Ye Zheng's driver and secretary is a beautiful woman who has just graduated from college, named Zhou Wen, a relative of Zhou Ke, and can be regarded as a career that many people envy through the back door. Ye Zheng was not used to having a secretary at first, but later found that by leaving some things to the secretary, he could indeed reduce a lot of burden. So I got used to it more and more. While driving, Coco Zhou introduced Ye Zheng to the person they were going to meet today.

Shao Hongsleeve, 28 years old, is an honorary director of the National Orchestra, and she was the youngest honorary director before you became an honorary director of the National Orchestra. She is a very talented person, having become an honorary member of the National Orchestra at the age of 22, thanks to her top-notch skills in playing national instrumental music, as well as her advanced research and performance experience on a variety of instruments. Coco Zhou said: "At the age of 15, she participated in the Chinese Guzheng Performance Competition and won the first place. At the age of 18, he won the first place in the Chinese Erhu Performance Competition. At the age of 19, he won the first place in the pipa performance. When she was 21 years old, she held a global Chinese traditional instrumental music competition, and she won the first place in the youth group Guzheng, the first place in the erhu, the first place in the pipa, the first place in the dizi, and four championships. In addition, many national instrumental masters said that her guzheng and erhu performance levels have reached the master level. The performance of the pipa and flute is also very mature. ”

In that competition, she became famous and shocked the global music scene. Known as "the most beautiful instrumental music master" and "temperamental talent", she has become an idol in the hearts of thousands of people. She has since participated in many international competitions, won several championships, and has matured in her mastery of four instruments, and has produced several amazing new compositions herself, which shows her profound accomplishments. It was because of her skills and many honors that she was awarded the Violet Prize, the highest honor, by the International Instrumental Music Federation at the age of 25. ”

After receiving this supreme award, she no longer participated in various competitions, and also refused the invitation of many international top teams and judges to the competition. As a member of the International Instrumental Music Federation, an honorary director of the National Orchestra and an honorary president of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, he focused more on continuing to study traditional instrumental music and cultivating talents. bought a small courtyard in the suburbs of Yanjing and lived a simple life. Over the years, many music companies and groups have wanted to invite her to join, but they have all been rejected without exception. ”

"So I don't think we have much hope, maybe we can hire her as an instructor, but it's hard for her to really join," Zhou said. "Hmm. Ye Zheng nodded, listening to the series of honors won by Shao Hongsleeve, Ye Zheng's heart was also amazed, this is a real fierce man! If anyone can be invited, wouldn't they be busy to death? For example, Ye Zheng is now, many people want to ask him to write songs, but he is silent. This is not a big shelf or an identity, but just to avoid the consequences of facing the same as a flood beast once it starts. For Shao Hongsleeve, Ye Zheng didn't plan to invite such a great god to the company, as long as he could ask her to be an instructor. The worst is to poach a few excellent students from her.

Shao Hongsleeve is such a top master, and most of her students must be very powerful, Ye Zheng plans to sign a few members of the orchestra as the backbone of the orchestra. In fact, Ye Zheng had never seen Shao Hongsleeve, but when he contacted the dulcimer performance artist Dai Sumei, he said that he wanted to find a few national instrumental masters, and Dai Sumei recommended a few to him, and then mentioned Shao Hongsleeve to him, and said that if Ye Zheng could invite her to go, no one else would have to go, and she would be enough. It can be seen how influential and high Shao Hongsleeve is.

So Ye Zheng said that he would ask Dai Sumei to be an instructor no matter what. He said it politely and sincerely, but in fact, he also thought in his heart that since Shao Hongsleeve might not be able to invite him, he should also be prepared to invite a few more. Moreover, even if Shao Hongsleeve can be invited, Shao Hongsleeve's attainments in the dulcimer are not as good as Dai Sumei's. Moreover, Shao Hongsleeve likes to live in a simple place, and does not like too noisy and noisy occasions, and rarely participates in performances in recent years. So if you want to plan a performance or something like that in the future, you can't count on Shao Hongsleeve. Everyone has their own characteristics and strengths, so each person has a different value in the eyes of others.

It's a very quiet place, like in a big park, with an artificial lake not far away, and some hills a little further away, and the grass is just turning yellow-green, and the spring breeze is blowing, so it's very pleasant to walk here. In Yanjing, which has a large population and is full of high-rise buildings, it is really rare to find such a quiet residence. Of course, looking at the two-story building with a small courtyard where Shao Hong lives, there are still a few begonias planted at the entrance of the building, and it is estimated that it will not be able to buy it without tens of millions. "Come in, two of you. Shao Hongsleeve took Ye Zheng and Zhou Wen to the living room, invited them to sit down, and poured tea and water. Ye Zheng glanced at Shao Hongsleeve a few times with some curiosity, watching her action of making tea and pouring water, and her walking posture, all of which gave people an extremely quiet and peaceful artistic beauty.

Shao Hongsleeve is 28 years old this year, but he is extremely well maintained, and he looks only in his early twenties. The appearance is not amazing, but it gives people a sense of elegance and refinement, coupled with a quiet and gentle temperament, which suddenly reminded Ye Zheng of the little dragon girl Li Ruotong and Wang Zuxian in A Chinese Ghost Story. I thought that if I let her change into an ancient costume to play the scene of Xiaoqian sitting in the temple and playing the piano. It must be extremely beautiful and moving.

And the decoration of the whole courtyard and the house also gives people a full atmosphere of music and art, next to the living room, there is a guzheng, a pipa is hung on the wall, although no one plays, but there seems to be a burst of silk and bamboo sound around the ears, which makes people relax and forget all the troubles. Ye Zheng couldn't help but admire in her heart, this is a woman who truly understands the soul of national music, so much so that she has a temperament that makes people feel intoxicated and fall all over her body. I can't help but think that if anyone can get such a woman to accompany him for a lifetime, it is really a blessing for three lives.

After pouring the water, Shao Hongsleeve also sat down and spoke slowly, her voice was also crisp and pleasant: "I received a call from Mr. Ye today, it was really unexpected." I have long heard that Mr. Ye is talented and a rare genius. I often hear my students talk about you and what good songs you have written. I also have an album of "Rolling Red Dust" here, and I listen to it from time to time. I think the lyrics and songs are really wonderful. So I have long wanted to meet Mr. Ye in my heart. I thought that I should have the opportunity to meet in a few days, but I didn't expect Mr. Ye to come. "Sister Su Mei introduced me. Ye Zheng said: "I don't know if Sister Su Mei told Sister Red Sleeves that I want to form a traditional instrumental orchestra, so I want to ask Sister Red Sleeves to help me introduce a few of your students, and I also want to ask Sister Red Sleeves to be the instructor of the orchestra in person." In the face of Shao Hongsleeves with such a temperament, Ye Zheng really couldn't give birth to half a polite idea, so he bluntly said the purpose of his visit.

Shao Hongsleeve nodded lightly: "After you called this morning, Sister Su Mei also called me and said that if you want to form a national instrumental music orchestra and take the route of commercial publicity, I also agree." It's just that what Sister Su Mei said is unknown, so I would like to ask you to elaborate more. "That's what I think, form an orchestra composed entirely of young women...... Ye Zheng nodded, and explained his idea to Shao Hongsleeve. Yesterday, he came up with this idea, and he kept refining it, and after returning to time and space music, he discussed it with Zhou Ke and made a more detailed idea. After a while, after Ye Zheng finished speaking, Shao Hongsleeve nodded lightly.

"Your idea is good. National instrumental music does need to be revitalized, and this has always been what I want to do, but I am idle and don't like to worry too much about tiredness, so I just do some work to teach students. Sometimes I feel guilty when I think about it, I could have done more to promote national instrumental music. But now that you have this idea and are willing to do it, I am very much in favor of it. Ye Zheng was overjoyed, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but he heard Shao Hongsleeve say: "I will recommend a few excellent students to you, and I think they will agree." It's just that I don't know much about how to coach an orchestra, so I don't want to be an instructor. ”

Ye Zheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Please ask Sister Red Sleeve to just teach them the performance of the orchestra, you can not perform with the orchestra." All you need is time to mentor them. Sister Red Sleeves is proficient in a variety of ethnic musical instruments, and there is no one more suitable than you. He wanted to say that he could give a high salary, but he was afraid that saying so would anger Shao Hongsleeve. Some people who are really indifferent are difficult to impress with money and benefits, and even if you mention money, it will anger them. Of course, this is a literati artist with a true temperament and no shortage of money, not a person who is forced by life, nor does it refer to a hypocrite. And looking at Shao Hongsleeve's living environment, he really doesn't look like a person who is short of money.

Shao Hongsleeve shook his head lightly and said apologetically: "Thank you for your compliment, but I'm sorry I really don't have this plan, and there have been music companies that have asked me to be a teacher before, but I didn't go." This is the way of temperament, in the early years, he competed everywhere, and he wore out all his wildness and momentum all his life. ”

Hearing Shao Hongsleeve say this, Ye Zheng sighed lightly, thought for a moment in his heart, and said, "Doesn't Sister Hongsleeve want to be the first to see some new works of national instrumental music?"
