Chapter 849: Meng Lai's True Purpose

"This requirement...... Please forgive me for not being able to say yes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sun Yun smiled faintly, his tone was gentle but uncompromising. After saying a word, he turned to Cai Qingde's side and no longer continued to face Meng Lai.

"Sir, I hope to be able to fulfill this contract smoothly."

Although Sun Yun still had a faint smile on his face, his heart was the same as Cai Qingde's feeling just now, and he felt chills for a while.

It's normal for peers to be jealous, and there's nothing wrong with thinking more about yourself, but it's very disgraceful to fall into a hole at such a moment. In particular, Sun Yun plays the piano, and Meng Lai plays the violin, and the two are not related to each other at all, which is really incomprehensible. Not to mention that it doesn't matter if you reach out to help in the past, people are selfish, and you can't blame Meng Lai. But Meng Lai would even make such a suggestion, then he didn't think about how such a move would hurt Sun Yun at all.

That would very likely ruin Sun Yun's career completely!

Is there such a big grudge against each other? Can the dumping between peers be so inferior? As soon as such a proposal comes out, no matter how good Sun Yun's temperament is, there will be an endless ending between him and Meng Lai.

Ruining people's futures, and it is the kind that has no previous suspicion and no reason, there is absolutely no room for change. Even if Meng Lai really thinks about the festival orchestra out of public interest this time, he and Sun Yun have already torn their faces.

Of course, Sun Yun will not continue to entangle with Meng Lai, he is not worthy of it.

……

Is Munlay really thinking about festival orchestras?

Not necessarily.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Sun Yun's two concerts are completely messed up, Sun Yun's reputation in the classical music scene has plummeted, and he will never regain his former glory, it is Sun Yun's own business. At that time, the focus of comments from all sides was also focused on Sun Yun, at most a little mention of the poor performance of the Xiangjiang Festival Orchestra and the concertmaster Meng Lai, who served as the concerto, and it would not have much impact on Meng Lai, a violinist who was in full swing. As for the reputation of the festival orchestra, it will indeed be slightly affected, after all, these two concerts are hosted by the orchestra, and Sun Yun's failure will definitely implicate the orchestra. However, compared to the decades of accumulation of the orchestra, this small impact will not damage the foundation of the orchestra.

Which band didn't lose sight of the moment? The world's five major orchestras have lost the city and are criticized, not to mention the Xiangjiang Festival Orchestra!

Therefore, if it is really for the sake of the interests of the orchestra, there is no need for Meng Lai to make such an excessive suggestion, he can put forward a more reasonable and appropriate proposal, such as weakening the leading role of the festival orchestra in these two concerts in advance, and retreating to the position of mere concerto, so that the orchestra can advance and retreat more freely in the whole matter. And this is the obligation and responsibility of Meng Lai, the orchestra leader.

But Meng Lai made such an excessive request, and coerced all the vocal directors of the orchestra, intending to force Cai Qingde to agree to this matter. However, once Cai Qingde really does what Meng Lai proposed, the consequences will be extremely serious.

The first thing the orchestra faced was the issue of compensation, the two concerts signed a formal performance contract, and the liquidated damages were not small, but also involved a series of things such as television broadcasting and recording of records. Well, even if these things can be used to fight each other with Sun Yun's poor performance, but this lawsuit festival orchestra can't win, the contract is there, and the final result is nothing more than a question of how much compensation.

This is still a small matter, in recent years, the festival orchestra has invited many performances, and the annual income is quite large, and it can afford to lose this money.

But what about later?

If Sun Yun sinks. There is no aftermath of that, and people will praise the person in charge of the orchestra for taking the initiative and preserving the reputation of the orchestra with a reparation, and handling it just right. But what if Sun Yun's state is restored? Sun Yun was able to endure ten years of illness and torture and survived tenaciously, who dares to guarantee that he will not return to his previous state again?

As long as Sun Yun can recover, the golden sign of the festival orchestra will fall, this is not a matter of "passing the eye", but spreading out the most utilitarian and inhumane side of the orchestra and putting it in the light. When the time comes, all kinds of sewage and dirty water will be splashed on the orchestra, and the media and music fans will completely submerge this most prestigious and highest-level symphony orchestra in Hong Kong!

As for Meng Lai, who made this suggestion, this had little effect on him. Munlai has become famous, and he can leave the capsized ship of the festival orchestra at any time and find a suitable place elsewhere for other orchestras.

But the festival orchestra doesn't have long legs and can't run. Once the above situation does occur, the person who bears the most pressure is Cai Qingde, the orchestra's music director and lifelong conductor.

Of course, Cai Qingde knew the harm that this proposal would bring to the festival orchestra and himself, how could he agree?

However...... This time, Meng Lai's forced palace brought all the voice chiefs of the whole group, which was more difficult to do. It can be seen from Ah Kuan's performance just now that Meng Lai is definitely not a whim but has been prepared, he has persuaded these voice chiefs and won the support of all the members, otherwise Ah Kuan, who has always been afraid of Cai Qingde, would not have supported Meng Lai's proposal among the hesitants.

So obviously, this time Meng Lai's forced palace is not only aimed at Sun Yun, but the main target should be aimed at Sir Cai Qingde, the pillar of the orchestra. What Meng Lai wants to seek is the dominant power of the orchestra, and what he sees is that Sun Yun will not be able to completely recover his performance level in the short term, so with the widespread doubts in the media, Meng Lai may be able to override Cai Qingde and truly master this first-class symphony orchestra in Asia.

It's a great thing to get fame and fortune, and it's much better than just being the principal of a festival orchestra.

If it weren't for this purpose, Meng Lai would definitely not have eaten enough to put forward this kind of proposal that would definitely be bad with Sun Yun and Cai Qingde.

Cai Qingde understood Meng Lai's true purpose almost instantly.

……

"Sir, think again." Meng Lai also spoke calmly: "I can understand the feelings of Sun Yun's predecessors, but the current situation has no choice but for us to continue to hesitate, between a little compensation and the reputation of the orchestra, I believe that Jazz will definitely have a judgment, and I and all the principal voices of the orchestra will support your decision." ”

"Sir, please make a decision as soon as possible."

Cai Qingde raised his eyebrows, and just wanted to have a seizure, but several voice chiefs present persuaded one after another.

"Sir, you've decided."

"Uncle De, I really can't go on like this!"

"Alai is right, Ayun is ...... now Alas~~~ Sir, it's up to you to decide. ”

"Sir, make up your mind, we'll all listen to you."

"Alas~~~ I knew this earlier, I ...... it at the beginning"

"Ah Yun, we're not targeting you, but...... Alas~~~"

Everyone was talking, but Meng Lai was silent, his expression always remained calm, and he looked like he was winning.

Cai Qingde's face was full of dark clouds, and his face was terrifyingly dark.

"Enough! Shut up! ”

After a while, everyone fell silent.

"You ......" Cai Qingde started from Ah Kuan and looked over one after another, jumping out word by word: "You guys...... Really give me Cai Qingde a long face! ”

"When will we, the Hong Kong Festival Orchestra, ignore our musicians? When did you learn to abandon your friends, huh? Ah Kuan, when you were a bad gambler and were collected by a loan shark, did the orchestra turn you away for reputational reasons? And you, David, when the media questioned your ability to be worthy of the orchestra, who helped you improve and help you pass? ”

"To be a man, you must always touch your conscience before you speak!"

"You ...... I was so disappointed! ”

Seeing several voice chiefs lowering their heads one by one, Meng Lai coughed twice and said, "Sir, things in the past are a little different from the current situation, Brother Kuan and David don't have the great influence of Sun Yun's predecessors, so ...... The situation, while very embarrassing, did not actually cause real harm to the orchestra. ”

"But this time, if these two concerts are held on time, what will Sun Yun's predecessors and our festival orchestra face, you should know very well that the damage to the reputation of our orchestra will be too great, we ......"

"Damage to the orchestra's reputation?" Cai Qingde coldly interrupted Meng Lai's continued demagogic statement: "I think it will have a certain impact on your reputation, Mr. Meng Lai." ”

"Sir, it seems...... You have a lot of misunderstandings about me," Meng Lai smiled bitterly and looked at the voice chiefs around him: "This suggestion was not made by me, I was just pushed out by them to have a face-to-face discussion with you. ”

"Brother Kuan, David, you have to testify for me."

"Well, it doesn't matter whether you testify or not, I absolutely can't accept this suggestion." Cai Qingde didn't want to listen to Meng Lai's explanation, and rejected this suggestion very dryly. (To be continued.) )
