Chapter 209: The Despised Artist
At this time, He Chaoqiong has not yet become Queen He, and is still in the late stage of Qingqing Lili's little sheep, at best, it is just a little antelope, and when facing Mo Fei, he pays attention to everyone's beautiful demeanor, so it is impossible to say it just by thinking about it.
Miss He is not sure now, whether she understands what she means. invited him to come to the concert alone, and he was still waiting outside the theater at this time, it was impossible for him not to understand; Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused?
Based on the preliminary understanding of Mo Fei in recent times, Queen Xiao He finally thought that Mo Fei was pretending to be stupid, this guy must have put the He family in the same row as Yi Yifu because of the incident of the Film Industry Association, of course, he had to keep his distance, this is the same for everyone.
Thinking that Mo Fei still had a misunderstanding, He Chaoqiong immediately stopped being angry, and the little anger that arose just now because Mo Fei was pretending to be confused also dissipated, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm waiting for someone, and it's you, Mr. Mo, who is waiting." ”
If He Chaoqiong made some explanations at this time, Mo Fei might still say something, but she said so directly that I was waiting for you, but Mo Fei didn't know how to continue to distance herself.
It's not good to continue to pretend to be confused and keep a distance, but it can't be close, but he still keeps his duty, nodded helplessly in his heart, and said, "Oh, let Miss He wait for a long time, I shouldn't be late, right?" ”
It was true that he was not late, but he was the last to arrive, and He Chaoqiong didn't bother to bother with him. Raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "The concert is still ten minutes away, let's go in now." ”
"Good". Mo Fei answered and was about to walk into the theater, but was stopped by He Chaoqiong from behind, this time Miss He was really a little unhappy, and walked two steps quickly to Mo Fei.
raised his head and looked at him, and said, "Mr. Mo, am I really that annoying, you can get out of the car because you admire the appearance of this theater and don't see me." It's okay to ignore that I'm waiting for you because you don't understand the situation, but now you shouldn't know that we're going to enter together, right? ”
This woman is really direct, Mo Feixin said that it's not even easy to pretend to be confused now. I really don't know what she wants, so she made a sudden realization and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." I really didn't expect Miss He, you didn't bring a male companion today. I thought you were waiting here for me as an event organizer. ”
It's really nonsense, He Chaoqiong was completely defeated by Mo Fei, she believed that as long as she continued, Mo Fei would have countless reasons, so she simply didn't say more to him, reached out and grabbed Mo Fei's arm, and said, "Okay, let's go in." ”
The two of them walked in and out together. Miss He began to talk about today's concert again, saying, "Today's concert was originally conducted by Karajan. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's Hong Kong premiere in '59 was conducted by Karajan, who is also a guest conductor of the Amsterdam Orchestra today......"
He Chaoqiong said, Mo Fei just listened, and didn't express his opinion, just nodded all the way. After talking for a long time, He Chaoqiong reacted, opened her eyes wide and stuck out her tongue, and said a little embarrassed: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm a class with an axe, your family is engaged in classical music, of course you know more about these than me, I think I'd better say something else, or how about you tell me?" ”
Mo Fei smiled slightly and said that it didn't matter, and said: "Actually, this is not bad, I rarely hear anyone say this to me, and there are too few people in Hong Kong who like this kind of thing, it is already very good that you can say so much." Oh, by the way, you said Karajan didn't come to work, right, so who is the conductor today? ”
He Chaoqiong was in charge of the preparation of this concert, and he also put a lot of effort into it, although he did not have a lot of knowledge about music, but the main personnel of the orchestra could be named, and said: "Karajan is said to have attended the baton in the Vatican Cathedral, and he was a little unwell and could not guarantee the quality of this concert, so today's conductor is the current chief conductor of the orchestra, Hai Tingke." ”
"Haiting Branch?" Mo Fei slowed down and asked for sure, and said: "This Haitingke is a very good conductor, and the concert conducted by him is one of the best in the history of the Amsterdam Orchestra, and it is not much worse than Karajan. Today's concert should be very interesting, what kind of repertoire will be performed? ”
"I don't really understand this, I just know that it's a music special by Charles Valentan Alkan, and I can't say what the specific track is." He Chaoqiong replied.
In fact, she still knows a little, since she decided to invite Mo Fei, she has learned more about this concert, and the specific repertoire can be said, but in front of Mo Fei, she doesn't want to make an axe anymore, just say whose music is special, this effect is better and more natural.
At this time, Mo Fei was really interested in this concert, although he likes to play rock and roll, and is good at guitar and bass, but the real favorite and most proficient is the piano.
The Amsterdam Orchestra's best performance during the Heitinko era was Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5, which included piano in the percussion section and was one of the most conventional modes of piano and orchestra in modern music.
Among Charles Valentin Alkan's works, the piano appears the most, and even most of the works are for the piano, especially his piano symphonies and piano concertos, which can be called the best romantic works after Chopin. His recitals also attract music giants such as Chopin and Liszt, and he himself is included in the composition of the same status as Liszt, Chopin and others, and he also plays on the same stage with Chopin, and is praised by the piano geek Liszt as "a generation of piano superstars".
If most people who like the piano regard Chopin, Liszt, Rubinstein, Serkin and others as idols, then Mo Fei's idol is Alkan.
Able to handle Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5. If you can get Debussy's piano music, you must be able to get Alkan's piano symphony, and it is Heitingko himself who conducts it. Today is finally not in vain, and it is worth spending some money.
With something he likes, Mo Fei's depressed mood has also improved a lot, and he can even talk to He Chaoqiong, saying: "There are not many times when the piano appears in orchestras, and Alkan's works are great music that many people underestimate, especially in Asia. The extent of this underestimation is particularly severe. Because of the nature of the piano's vocalization, it can often bring a very special timbre to the whole orchestra and the work; When used as a percussion instrument, it can be tactful and soothing; As a stringed instrument, it can be relatively more intense and powerful. If you think of the orchestra as an army, the piano is an unexpected presence in it. Maybe you will kill 800 enemies, maybe you will hurt yourself 1,000, and it is difficult to keep the same pace. The piano symphony of the Amsterdam Orchestra is conducted by Heitingko. It is one of the best in the industry today. This concert is very ingenious. It seems that the orchestra is well prepared, at least this concert is worth looking forward to. ”
Although Mo Fei praised this concert and the composer named Alkan, it sounded like she was praising her in He Chaoqiong's ears, after all, this concert was organized by her, and the orchestra was invited by her, so Mo Fei's worth looking forward to can be regarded as what she brought.
Walking and chatting into the theater, the staff on the stage have already retreated, and soon it will be time for the actors to enter the stage. The two of them quickened their steps slightly and walked towards the VIP seat in the middle.
Going to a concert, watching a movie or going to a theater, the way you choose your seat is different. Watch movies in order to have the best viewing angle. Generally it works best in the back position; When watching a play, in order to be able to enjoy the performance of the actors on the stage up close, the knowledgeable audience will choose a seat slightly closer to the stage; Listening to a concert is not so demanding on visual effects, so the middle seat with the best sound effect has become the first choice.
He Chaoqiong, as the organizer of the concert, was invited by her, and the seats for the two were naturally in the best area. Mo Fei walked over with He Chaoqiong, which also caused a discussion in the VIP area, not to mention how Mo Fei, the most enthusiastic film industry powerhouse in entertainment news, and one of the most romantic figures with the most lace news, was invited by He Chaoqiong and waited outside the theater in person to greet him; Let's just say that the standard Chinese-style formal dress is already very incompatible with the wealthy dignitaries and celebrities who are all dressed in evening clothes here, and they are so conspicuous in white.
However, these people are not ignorant of the situation, and it is impossible for the entertainment news to be ignorant, but this is how they are dressed at the Berlin Film Festival, and it is impossible for him to change his clothes when he goes to a concert. So not only will these people not oppose and dislike, but some people even admire Mo Fei's style very much, and it takes more than just courage to do so.
After the concert began, Mo Fei began to focus on enjoying the orchestra, which he had not enjoyed much in his previous life.
His main business now is movies, but what he really likes most is music, and his major in his previous life was music, and being a film critic was also after giving up his dream of music. To put it bluntly, being a film critic is just a profession, not the biggest hobby and goal, in terms of love, music must be a cut above movies.
The Amsterdam Orchestra is really not a cover, especially the orchestra under the helm of Heitinko, which is definitely one of the pinnacles in history. The Amsterdam Orchestra of this period has its own special charm, and its personality and spirit can be perfectly expressed in the works performed. As the famous music critic Inafoe said, even if you close your eyes and listen, you can still hear that this is the Amsterdam Orchestra.
It's always easy for good times to pass, and even if the orchestra has extended the concert from the usual one and a half hours to two and a half because there is no performance the next day, it still doesn't feel like it's enough. Even shamelessly thinking that it would be nice to use the intermission time as well.
Because it is a separate charity concert, the audience and the performers will not leave the venue for the time being after the performance, and the organizers have specially organized a fundraising ceremony at the end of the performance, and the orchestra will also take out part of its own income as a donation.
It was the first time to participate in this form of fundraising, and I didn't know how much money to donate, so I simply signed a check for 500,000 yuan, thinking that it should be about the same, but I didn't expect to become the individual who donated the most in the audience.
Fortunately, this is a good deed, and Hong Kong's charities are very well regulated, otherwise you would really be scolding the street - you are drinking the blood of the recipient.
Having made a lot of donations has the advantage of having a lot of donations, that is, after the fundraising ceremony, you can take a photo with the musicians of the orchestra, and then the Maryknoll Medical Welfare Association will give you a commendation honor.
After Mo Fei took a photo with the orchestra members, before he was ready to leave the stage, he heard someone asking Ho Chaoqiong about himself in English, and Ho Chaoqiong's introduction was the famous Hong Kong filmmaker and music producer, the founder of the recently popular sand painting performance art, and the local artist Mo Fei in Hong Kong.
Well, this woman has been given the title of an artist, but the name is not a derogatory term, and it is acceptable.
But the words of the next orchestra member made Mo Fei very unbearable, this guy didn't tell He Chaoqiong, but said to his colleagues in Dutch: "Is this kind of person also called an artist, dressed like that, he doesn't even have a dress." I think he's more like the kind of guy who works as a coolie on the dock, whether he can understand the symphony or not is a problem, Hong Kong is such a bad place, even such people can come to listen to elegant concerts......"
(This is today's first shift.,There's too much to do in the afternoon.,It's late to come back.,I'm going to go to the second watch.") (To be continued......)
