Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Lesson from the Past
After checking the ticket and entering the station, Qin Fangge looked back at Xiao Yuran's tears and didn't dry yet, and he didn't comfort her, he just told her to follow, don't get lost, there are really a lot of people.
Xiao Yuran looked back when she heard this, she was actually quite tall, and she could see Huang Jing waving at them, she wanted to respond, but she was carrying things in both hands, so she could only nod and smile at them, and then quickly trotted a few steps to keep up with Qin Fangge's pace.
Qin Fangge was not slow at all carrying two large boxes, and he could always flexibly find a position in the flow of people, Xiao Yuran only needed to follow behind him, which saved her a lot of trouble.
It was still good for him to run fast with Xiao Yuran, and when he arrived at the carriage early, he found a place on the luggage rack for the two people's suitcases, including two musical instruments. Because they bought tickets too late, they could only buy hard seats, but Xiao Yuran didn't mind, of course Qin Fangge couldn't go against the tune.
Fortunately, the tickets for the two are connected, and the location is not bad, the kind of two positions on one side. Xiao Yuran sat by the window, Qin Fangge was outside, and joked that being her guardian knight made this girl stupid and silly.
After they had settled in, the passengers on the opposite side came, a mother of thirty-seven or eighteen, with a boy of twelve or thirteen. They still had a lot of luggage, and Qin Fangge, who was tall and tall, took the initiative to help and put their luggage on the luggage rack, but the two bags that they couldn't fit had to be put under the seat.
The woman is dressed decently and has a good temperament, she thanked him politely, and spoke Rongcheng dialect, which was similar to Xiao Yuran's accent, soft and delicate.
"It's just a matter of effort, I seem to have this only purpose for growing so tall. When the child grows up, he can help his mother do these things. Qin Fangge said with a smile, he used Jiangcheng dialect, although Jiangcheng Rongcheng belongs to the same big province, but the dialects of the two places still sound a little different, especially the people here are easier to distinguish.
The boy was not very happy to be called a child by him, but it was also a fact that he was indeed not tall now, and Qin Fangge didn't mind his unruly eyes.
Xiao Yuran also asked them enthusiastically if they were going to Rongcheng, and the terminal station of this train was Rongcheng.
The woman nodded and said yes, Xiao Yuran also spoke Rongcheng dialect, which was easy to distinguish, and she also guessed that Qin Fangge was from Jiangcheng.
The conversation box opened like this, Xiao Yuran and the mother had a very hot chat, and they didn't say their names to each other, and they began to exchange where they lived in Rongcheng. Qin Fangge could interject a few words from time to time, and the little boy didn't dare to be interested in this topic at all, so he took out his mobile phone and put on headphones to listen to music.
The woman named Yan Rong was also very helpless about this, and only asked Xiao Yuran about them, and they all looked like students.
Xiao Yuran generously admitted that they went to take the art exam in Yenching.
"You're all studying music! You still have musical instruments. Yan Rong asked.
Xiao Yuran nodded and smiled, "I studied piano, he majored in vocal music, and minored in many musical instruments. ”
Yan Rong smiled, "We heard someone singing in the waiting room just now, it should be you! ”
"He sang it!" Xiao Yuran hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed to Qin Fangge, "I can't sing." ”
"Aren't you going to the Southwest Conservatory of Music?
Xiao Yuran happily replied, "Yes, but my former teacher and I are both professors of the Southwest Conservatory of Music, and we are half of the Southwest Conservatory of Music." ”
"You should have done well in the exam!" Yan Rong saw that their complexion was good, and asked tentatively, she also knew that the Huaxia Conservatory of Music could be said to be the best conservatory in the country, and it was definitely not so easy to take the exam.
"It's okay! But the official results won't come out until January, and I have to go back to prepare for the cultural exam." Xiao Yuran said, "Sometimes I envy cultural candidates, they don't have to work as hard as us." ”
"Mom and Dad didn't go with you?" Yan Rong asked curiously.
Xiao Yuran said, "They all have to work, and we can take care of ourselves." ”
This made Yan Rong impressed, "I see that many parents of art candidates have resigned to accompany them throughout the study and exam process to take care of all aspects of life, you are amazing!"
Xiao Yuran turned his head and looked at Qin Fangge, "Fortunately, I have friends to study and live together, so I'm not so sad." ”
"If you learn piano, don't you have to practice every day?"
Xiao Yuran nodded, "Yes, I have to go to the piano room to practice for about four or five hours every day, which is not much, some people practice for more than ten hours a day, like Su Yunfei and Zhou Jia before they became famous." ”
Yan Rong gossiped, "Anyway, Su Yunfei is also from Jiangcheng! ”
Qin Fangge shook his head lightly, "No, but he is a role model in the hearts of many piano students, and they all want to be a pianist like him." ”
Xiao Yuran also followed the gossip, "In fact, there are many people with similar talents to Su Yunfei, and there are Qian Wenhao and Sun Ke in Guangjiang City." Jiangcheng is indeed a treasure of feng shui! But I feel that Qian Wenhao was ruined by his parents, he is too paranoid, and now it is difficult to hold a solo concert, and no company is willing to sign a contract with him. Although Sun Ke and Su Yunfei are brother and sister, their fame is far inferior to him, and I heard that the contradiction between the two is not small. In other words, if you are from Rongcheng, there are really not as many celebrities who play the piano as Jiangcheng......"
Qin Fangge smiled, "I said Xiaoyu, you must not provoke a contradiction between the two places! There are so many piano professors at the Southwest Conservatory of Music, and there are a lot of them from Rongcheng! Besides, there is also Xiaoyu, you are destined to step onto the international stage and let the whole world know." ”
"Then why don't you say that Jiangcheng still has you! Xiao Yuran pursed her lips disapprerovingly, she didn't mention herself, and continued to gossip, "The most popular in the world is Zhou Jia, although his actions are indeed a bit bold and exaggerated, Su Yunfei feels that he is still a little less famous." But I feel that they are too commercial now, and after listening to their latest CD, their piano skills have really not improved much, is it because there are too many performances and there is no time to practice properly?"
It is estimated that there are factors in this regard, once you become famous, it is easy to become impetuous, and it is not so easy to maintain your original intention. And some people, their original intention of learning piano is to become famous, and they can't be counted on. In addition, the company they signed with will definitely arrange a lot of performances for the sake of profit, and it is basically nonsense to say that practicing the piano at a concert is basically nonsense. Qin Fangge answered, "I feel that it still depends on whether the team behind the scenes is smart or not, of course, it must still operate." In fact, the market for classical piano is so big, and there are only a few people who can get ahead. A record company like EG also hopes to use them to open up the Chinese classical music market, and it is really best to use them as an example for so many people in China to learn piano every year. ”
Xiao Yuran nodded in agreement, "I read a book called "Who Killed Classical Music", saying that a great pianist like Strong has someone behind him to help him operate and even find someone to help him write reviews, so that he can achieve high glory and status during his lifetime." Like his contemporary, Schumans, Argos was no less talented than Strong, and was not welcomed by publishers. They are also arrogant, unwilling to participate in performances to promote themselves, and even more unwilling to meet the powerful and powerful, they simply believe that the eyes of the masses are clear. As a result, they mixed up more miserably, although they wrote a lot of songs, they had no income to live on, and they had to rely on the help of friends to survive, especially Schumans died a very disgraceful death in the end. and Fred, who is really a unique musical genius who became famous at a young age, but because of his arrogance and bohemianism, he offended other court musicians and was persecuted to die early in his thirties, which makes people sigh. And Conrad, who is also a tragic figure, composed many symphonies that have been passed down through the ages, but his life has been quite unfortunate......"
"Their works can be handed down and can be performed by us a hundred years later, it is still great, but they can't enjoy this kind of glory in their lifetime. Qin Fangge is accustomed to this kind of chaos, how can this not be the case in another world.
Musicians are actually living people, with seven emotions and six desires, joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Moreover, the musicians who felt tragedy accounted for the vast majority, it seems that they did not mix well during their lifetime, and the music they composed during this period can also reflect their situation and state of mind at that time, and the works of this low period are precisely their most precious works.
Of course, this can also be understood, genius! Outside of his natural realm, there are many people who are not as good as ordinary people, who do not know how to be a man, who is arrogant and arrogant, who offends his peers, and whose miserable ending can actually be predicted.
These can be said to be bloody examples, and they are also reminding Qin Fangge not to repeat their mistakes.
Yan Rong, who is not often in contact with classical music, immediately felt incredible, isn't classical music synonymous with elegance and luxury? Listening to them say this, this circle is actually no different from other circles, they are all a corner of society. The lofty feeling of classical music also collapsed.
But when she looked at Qin Fangge and Xiao Yuran, when they talked about this, their mentality was quite peaceful, and they seemed to be accustomed to it, and she had to admire their psychological quality. Thinking about it, those who dared to go to Yanjing to study alone at such a young age were indeed people with thick nerves.
Thinking about her children again, Yan Rong was angry again, but as a mother, she couldn't despair of her children, so she asked Qin Fangge them, "It's really hard to practice the piano, will it be better to learn to sing?"
Qin Fangge replied, "It's not easy, as far as the general situation of learning vocal music is concerned, the innate conditions of the voice and vocal cords must be good, and the piano also needs to be learned. ”
Yan Rong still asked, "Our child studied music for a while when he was a child but didn't stick to it, and now that he is in junior high school, his cultural performance is not very good, and he wants to let him learn music again, do you think it's too late, is it better to learn piano or sing." ”
