Chapter 280: Planning a comeback

Next, Sun Yun and Cai Qingde communicated some details before their comeback. After repeated discussions and deliberations, it was not until nearly ten o'clock in the evening that the three of them figured out the general idea of the matter.

Sun Yun's parents were very old, so they left the living room early to rest. Tong Wanru, as Sun Yun's wife and main assistant during the performance, put forward many useful suggestions during the discussion that night.

If a qiē shun lì, Sun Yun's first concert will be performed with the Xiangjiang Festival Orchestra again, performing two of Sun Yun's masterpieces from when he became famous in Xiangjiang: Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor and Saint-Saëns' Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, as the orchestra's first performance in the second half of the season.

The show is scheduled for early October this year, almost eight months away.

These two works are Sun Yun's repertoire, they are well-known enough, and the difficulty of playing them is medium, and according to Sun Yun's restoration plan, he should have enough ability to interpret these two works by then. The first performance of the comeback must be the primary consideration of not traveling cuò, and those works that are too difficult and too profound in thinking are not suitable. These two songs are neither high nor low, just right.

The conductor, of course, is Sir Cai Qingde.

I believe that such a nostalgic lineup and repertoire are enough to attract many Xiangjiang music fans to buy tickets and cheer. Among the older generation of music fans in Hong Kong, the combination of Sun Yun and Cai Qingde under the direction of the Hong Kong Festival Orchestra is synonymous with classical music, and it is still very appealing to this day. To this day, the classical music records they recorded together more than ten or even twenty years ago are still at the top of the Xiangjiang classical music album sales chart.

The power of this lineup can be seen from this.

Before that, apart from Sun Yun's own need to continue to consolidate the curative effect to completely cure the disease, and restore his performance strength to a higher level, Cai Qingde's task here will be heavier.

Not only does he have to arrange a series of things for Sun Yun before his comeback, including the upcoming party briefing, negotiating the signing of the contract, media publicity before his comeback, etc., but he also has to vouch for Sun Yun's first performance.

Although Cai Qingde is one of the investors of the festival orchestra. He is also the lifelong honorary conductor of the orchestra and has a great influence on the orchestra. However, the orchestra is not owned by Cai Qingde alone, and although Sun Yun's illness has been 'cured', it will actually take more time to recover his playing level.

If Sun Yun's comeback is scheduled for the beginning of next year. Then the time will be very generous, and Sun Yun's recovery plan will be much calmer.

But. Sun Yun couldn't wait.

is also a musician, Cai Qingde understands Sun Yun's urgent mood very much, so after carefully inquiring about his recovery, Cai Qingde agreed to Sun Yun's plan to return to the music scene in the second half of this year. That's exactly what happened. Therefore, Cai Qingde must vouch for Sun Yun's first performance.

Classical concert performances are always scheduled in advance, and this advance time is sometimes even measured in years. The festival orchestra's season schedule for the second half of the year has been going on since the beginning of the year, and all the dozens of performances in the second half of the season will be finalized and the performance contract will be signed after the new year.

There is an unspoken precondition that any musician invited to work with the orchestra must have the professional standards of the performer. Judging from the current situation, Sun Yun has not yet met this requirement.

Therefore, unless Cai Qingde vouches for him, Sun Yun will not be able to sign this performance contract. Even with Cai Qingde's guarantee. The performance amount of this contract will also be very low, and if there is a difference in the performance, the loss will be paid by Sir Chua Qingde.

In the future, the cooperation between Sun Yun and the orchestra will also completely close the door.

Although Sun Yun has worked with the Festival Orchestra many times in previous years, they know each other very well. But a performance is a performance, no matter how high Sun Yun's previous performance level is, it cannot be used as a reference for this performance, but can only be measured by his current strength.

This is also the performance principle that any formal and rigorous orchestra will follow.

After all. Sun Yun has been away from the stage for a full decade, and it is still unknown how good he is at the moment. Because he came forward to vouch for Sun Yun, Qingde was confident that he would be able to convince the orchestra to accept the performance. But there are more other requirements, Cai Qingde is impossible to put forward.

For Sun Yun's comeback. Cai Qingde bet on himself. If it weren't for Sun Yun's ten years of hard work, he had waited too long, Cai Qingde would definitely not have agreed to let him make such an urgent comeback.

'Oo......oo

The old-fashioned grandfather clock in the living room struck ten times, and all three of them were tired.

Lazily leaning himself on the back of the chair, listening to the muffled sound of the table clock, Cai Qingde suddenly remembered something. He sat up straight again, his head tilting slightly towards Sun Yun.

"By the way, Xiaoyun, that performance asked Ye Zi to be your guest, between the two steel associations, let him use classical guitar to string you together, and you can also take a little rest, so that the success of the performance will be a little more certain." ‘

Cai Qingde's tone carried a little excitement.

Tong Wanru's eyes lit up: "Sun Yun, I think my uncle's idea is okay, Xiao Yezi's classical guitar should be more than enough for you to be this guest." And with him present, you don't have to worry about anything physical during the performance. ‘

'Sun Yun, that's a good idea. ‘

'Uncle, Wanru, I also know it's a good idea,' Sun Yun shook his head: 'But...... I'm so embarrassed to let him make this trip. ‘

Speaking of which, he was my student and my disciple, but in the past six months, I have not taught him much, but I have received too many benefits from him. If it weren't for Xiao Yezi who taught me qigong, I'm afraid I'm still worried about it until now! ‘

"Uncle, Wanru, do you think I, a teacher, am embarrassed to let him run this time again?" ‘

Cai Qingde glanced at Sun Yun deeply, shook his head and smiled silently.

Tong Wanru frowned slightly and said slowly.

'Sun Yun, I think you're wrong. Whether you want Xiao Yezi to be your guest or not, will he not come to Xiangjiang to participate in your comeback concert? It's impossible! ‘

Tong Wanru's tone was extremely affirmative. After a pause, Tong Wanru continued.

Since he's definitely coming, it's a win-win-win-win-win thing for you to have him as your guest. You get a break from the performance to better play the next piece, and Xiao Yezi can also show off his talent on classical guitar in front of the Xiangjiang audience. ‘

'Sun Yun, I can't think of any reason for you to object to such a good thing. ‘

'What do you say?' ‘

Sun Yun hesitated.

Tong Wanru's statement is indeed very reasonable, but Sun Yun always felt that he owed Ye Zi a lot of favors and it was difficult to pay it back, and it was difficult for him to say it to Ye Zi for the invitation of the guests.

At this time, Cai Qingde laughed softly.

'Xiaoyun, sometimes I think you're silly and cute. Let me ask you, what is the relationship between Ye Zi and you? Teachers and students, right? So let me ask you again, what is the real teacher-student relationship in the eyes of Chinese people? ‘

'A teacher for one day, a father for life.' This is the real teacher-student relationship in the eyes of the Chinese people, which is almost equivalent to the relationship between parents and children. ‘

'Xiaoyun, have you ever seen a parent who is polite to their child? You, you got into the horns. ‘

Cai Qingde asked and answered himself, and then continued to unfold.

'I'm sure that if you send an invitation to Ye Zi, he will be very happy to be this guest. If you don't invite him, he will be very upset. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. ‘

But Xiaoyun, I advise you not to try. ‘

Ye Zi is a child who is affectionate and kind-hearted, but he is definitely not stupid. If you are good to him, he will be better to you, otherwise he would not have taught you Qigong. Did he say what do you know? Nothing will be known. But he still said it and did it, and it has only been a few days, and the effect is already so obvious. ‘

Speaking of this, Cai Qingde sighed softly.

'I always thought that being able to marry Wanru was the greatest blessing of your life, and now it seems that there is one more to add. Being able to accept a student like Ye Zi is also a blessing in your life. ‘

'Xiaoyun, your luck is really here this time! ‘

Sun Yun was silent.

After a while, a faint smile appeared on his face. (To be continued.) )
