Chapter 74: State Banquet

The banquet hall of the Peace Palace, the magnificent crystal chandeliers and wall lamps on the pillar walls, as well as the layers of candle lamps, illuminate the surroundings brightly, but they are not ordinary bright, with the shadows of the buildings, the light and shadow are intertwined, presenting a layered beauty rich in mood and rhythm.

Although it is a state banquet, but the form and style are not formal, before the president of the republic arrives to announce the opening of the banquet, the guests gather in groups of three or five, chatting, exchanging feelings, men usually wear more formal clothes, suits and trousers are the most common, black, gray and even white, women are dressed up, evening dresses are the majority, with shawls, coats, cloaks and other clothes, as well as gorgeous decorations and gloves, fully demonstrate the grace and luxury of women, show the charm of women.

On this occasion, the role of women is not trivial, not only as a regulator in communication, but also to highlight the status and strength of men from the side, so most of the guests at the meeting are in pairs, and they compete with each other, and no one wants to fall behind.

At this moment, four people walked in from the main entrance, the leader was a handsome and extraordinary man, with a light breeze between his eyebrows, as if he could see through everything, it was Li Gan, and beside him was his wife Zhou Meng.

Many people who knew Li Gan's true identity involuntarily moved closer to each other, ready to greet and exchange, and then saw two people behind Li Gan and Zhou Meng, a young man and a girl, the young man was wearing a black casual suit, without a tie, but he loosened the first button of the neckline, his expression was calm, a pair of dark deep eyes were extraordinarily bright, thin lips were slightly pursed, and there was a hint of perseverance.

The girl is about thirteen years old, her big black eyes are rolling around, a small hand grasps the corner of the former's clothes, she is wearing a pure white dress, her lovely and beautiful long legs are wrapped in white stockings, her feet are wearing little red shoes, her long black hair reaches her waist, and she also has a freshly dipped white lily.

This young girl is Jiang Li and Jiang Ripples, although Li Qian and Zhou Meng went to the Peace Hall first, they did not enter the banquet hall for the first time, but waited for them to act as a guide together, after all, Jiang Li was the first time to participate in such a high-level banquet.

Most people also recognize this young man as Jiang Li, the winner of the Best Newcomer Award who is the most popular in this year's Chinese Music Festival.

At this time, Lu Fang and his wife stepped forward to greet Jiang Li again, and it seemed that they had known each other for a long time, which made people even more suspicious, who is this Jiang Li? After all, Lu Fang's identity is also very not simple.

Everyone hurriedly followed the footsteps and greeted Li Qian and his wife first, followed by Jiang Li, zuihou couldn't help but ask curiously: "I don't know if this is ......?"

"This is my sister, ripples, ripples, haven't you seen your uncles and aunts soon?" Jiang Li smiled.

Ripples stepped forward and said generously: "Hello uncles and aunts, Ripples is still young, please take care of the place where you don't understand." ”

"Ouch, how sensible, so cute and beautiful, how can I get it when I grow up, come, give Auntie a good look." A woman in a white evening dress smiled and beckoned.

She is the president of Huaxia Women's Music University, Fu Licheng, a famous soprano and violinist, principal violinist of the Beijing Orchestra, and has won many internationally renowned awards. Li Gan approached Jiang Li and whispered lightly, "It's a good thing that your sister is so close to her." ”

Jiang Li nodded, this is also the purpose of bringing Ripple here, to broaden his horizons, to meet some celebrities, it doesn't matter if he starts low, but Ripple doesn't need to follow his old path.

Of course, Jiang Li was even more moved by Li Gan's kindness, not only supporting him on the scene, but also putting himself in his shoes, which was simply his life mentor.

"If you want to thank me, get into the world of classical music as soon as possible and don't waste your musical talent. Li Qian seemed to know what Jiang Li was thinking, and persuaded again.

Jiang Li said seriously: "Give me some more time, I won't let you down." ”

Li Gan glanced at him in a slightly surprised light, the corners of his mouth curled, and there was a hint of playfulness in his faint expression, and his eyes lit up slightly.

At this time, I heard Fu Lirong praise sincerely: "Your fingers are really good, especially this little finger, which is slender and flexible, it is simply born to play the violin, by the way, what instrument are you learning now?"

When the violin is played to the advanced level, it needs to carry out a difficult operation of changing the strings, at this time, it is very dependent on the little finger, and the little finger is best to reach the second joint of the ring finger from the bottom to the top, the longer the better, so Fu Licheng said this.

"Violin. Ripple said seriously.

"Well, good, come with me, you pull it and show me. After all, the fingers are secondary, the important thing is to intonation, ear sounds and other more internal things, Fu Licheng really likes the ripples more and more, and decided to test her violin talent herself.

Ripple glanced at Jiang Li carefully, he nodded imperceptibly, so he and Fu Lirong left the banquet hall for the time being, and Zhou Meng followed under Li Gan's hint to take care of Ripple.

The participants were very surprised to hear that Jiang Li was able to converse directly with foreigners in very fluent and authentic English, and he was indeed worthy of being the winner of the Best Newcomer Award.

In fact, Jiang Li's English was not so good before he was reborn, but after two surges in mental power, he learned quickly and accurately, and the pronunciation part was transformed by the music hall, and the essence of the transformation occurred, flexible and changeable, imitating authentic English pronunciation is really a mouth-opening effort.

"Hello, friend Jiang Li, I'm Charle Smith, from the American Music Association, I think some of your songs are very good, I don't know if there is a chance to introduce the past, of course, I should be able to use English for secondary creation, after all, not every American knows Chinese like me, rest assured, I will guarantee your intellectual property rights, and the remuneration you should have is only a lot more." A middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes said in a very authentic foreigner accent.

Jiang Li smiled and said politely: "Mr. Smith, thank you very much for your appreciation, music has no borders, if it can be liked by people in your country, it would be great." ”

"That's good, that's good, this is my business card, it has my contact information on it, by the way, do you have a business card?"

This was really unprepared, so Jiang Li said, "I'll give you a call." ”

β€œhaode。 ”

After solving this matter, just as a special reporter from a well-known Shijie media was about to ask Jiang Li if he could accept an interview, he heard a hearty laugh coming from the main door, his voice was loud and powerful, and he was obviously very confident and had a good status.

Fang Tianming, CEO of Huaxia Records, the world's No. 1 record company and the leader of the Huaxia record industry, and Hua Tianrong, president of the Huaxia Music Association, came together.

Fang Tianming caught Jiang Li's position at a glance, and strode straight over, at first people thought that the other party should be someone else, but they didn't expect that the other party didn't say a word, and shouted directly: "Jiang Li's little friend, it's better to be famous, it's better to meet, today can be regarded as catching you." ”

Jiang Li knew that Fang Tianming had published a commentary article in the "Huaxia Music Association Daily" to praise him, and he was grateful, so he naturally responded politely at the moment.

"The junior Jiang Li, I have seen the senior. ”

"No, no, it's too angry, and besides, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, compared to composing songs, I am definitely not as good as you, and I have to call you a senior, so let's call me uncle, how about it?"

"Uncle Fang. ”

Jiang Li is as good as a stream, and he must not be able to brush the other party's face in public at this juncture, but some people are not happy, so they only heard Lu Fang sneer: "Fang Tianming, you are moving too fast." ”

"No, no, you see I've been here so long slower than you, and if you don't take advantage of this, then you can't blame me. Fang Tianming said jokingly.

"Hmph!" Lu Fang was very dissatisfied.

Hua Tianrong intervened in a timely manner to play a round game, and everyone present was a master of acting, and they all quickly restrained their expressions, and they couldn't see that they had just gone through a war of words.

Jiang Li also roughly distinguished the situation, Lu Fang and Fang Tianming were hostile to each other, Hua Tianrong was neutral, as for Li Gan, he had an indifferent expression from beginning to end, it was difficult to say which side he was on, maybe he was closer to Lu Fang, otherwise he should not take the initiative to introduce the other party to himself.

There are more and more guests, the living room is very lively, Fu Lirong and Zhou Meng also came back with ripples, Fu Lirong found Jiang Li as soon as she came in, and said solemnly: "Jiang Li, I dare to conclude that your sister is definitely a genius of the violin, and her current performance level is already the highest level of amateurism, no, it should be exceeded, as long as you go through a little professional training, you can play in public, so I suggest that you don't delay any longer, let her come to the High School Attached to Huaxia Women's University of Music, I can teach her personally." ”

Jiang Li groaned for a while, leaned forward suddenly, and rubbed the head that was hanging low, this guy had been hiding his strength all along, he didn't remember when he had a sister with such a high violin level, even in this life, it seemed that he was only six or seven levels when he heard his parents, but he didn't expect it, he never expected it......

"Please allow me to think about it, I will consult my parents and give you an answer tomorrow at the latest. Jiang Li smiled.

"Okay, here's my contact information, hopefully...... You don't delay her, just like yourself. Fu Lirong glanced at Jiang Li deeply, turned around and left, isn't it a pity that such a musical genius doesn't come to the classical music world?

At this time, a radiant man appeared in the living room, calm and calm, walking like a tiger, as if he was in control of everything, and the atmosphere of the audience suddenly reached the highest.

The President of the Republic, Dongfang Xing, arrived.
