Things in the world are often like this, what you are afraid of will come to you. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cai Qingde had been a little worried about the emotional instability of the orchestra members since the morning, but in the afternoon, after another rehearsal that Ye Zi found very interesting and promising, but others found it very boring, Meng Lai, the concertmaster and the most well-known violinist in the Xiangjiang music scene, came to Cai Qingde with the principal of strings, winds, percussion and other vocal parts.

"Sir, I'm taking the liberty to bother you, we have some ideas to communicate with you." Meng Lai is quick to talk.

It was a young man with long hands and legs, a thin and pale face, and unusually sharp eyes.

Cai Qingde's heart sank slightly, but there was no trace on his face.

"Alai, is there anything important? If not very important...... I made an appointment with Chairman Yi to meet. ”

"We're going to delay you for a few minutes, and that's a very important thing." Meng Lai insisted.

"Hmm...... All right. Cai Qingde put himself on the chair: "Sit down, sit down and talk about something." Xiao Liu, help me call Chairman Yi and say that I will come over later and make a few more cups of tea. ”

Cai Qingde instructed his assistant.

"Sir, we have just discussed it with a few chiefs, and I hope that Sir and the board can come forward and make a statement in the media." After everyone was seated, it was still Meng Lai, the orchestra leader, who spoke.

The hierarchy in the orchestra is also very strict, and the conductor stands at the top of the pyramid. Under the conductor is the concertmaster, and only he or she has the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with the conductor. No one has such qualifications, no matter how long they have been in the orchestra or how old they are.

In the Xiangjiang Festival Orchestra, the person who can have a direct conversation with Cai Qingde is Mr. Meng Lai, a talented violinist who is not yet 30 years old.

"Statement?" Cai Qingde was surprised: "Alai, you ...... What kind of statement is needed? ”

……

After 10 minutes, the large rehearsal hall.

Sun Yun sat in front of the steinway with his eyes closed, his hands still resting gently on the black and white keys. Occasionally, one or two piano tones would sound lightly or heavily, and Sun Yun's brows would sometimes wrinkle slightly with these piano tones that sounded from time to time, and sometimes they would stretch out.

Ye Zi stood on the edge of the piano and watched Sun Yun silently, without making any sound.

He knew that Sun Yun must have caught something, and he was constantly playing tentatively at the moment.

It's a good thing, a great thing!

In the sound of the piano that Sun Yun kept moosing, more and more emotional bubbles had surfaced from the bottom of the sound, and in Ye Zi's opinion, Sun Yun was now just one foot away from breaking the shackles that closed him and completely recovering his life.

However, things in the world are always good things.

"Sir Sun, please go to his lounge." A staff member hurriedly came to the large rehearsal hall and woke up Sun Yun, who was in the moo.

Ye Zi glared at him with extreme annoyance, he was interrupted, and it would take Sun Yun a lot more time to find the feeling that he had just approached.

"Now?" Sun Yun didn't think it was upset, and asked in a gentle tone.

"Yes, now."

"Okay, I'll go."

Sun Yun nodded, stood up and walked out.

"Teacher, I'll go with you."

Ye Zi quickly followed Sun Yun.

……

"Alai, you ...... Have you really decided to do this? Cai Qingde asked softly.

There was no obvious change in Cai Qingde's voice, but the old man who knew him well concluded from the slight tremor in the corners of Sir Cai's eyes that the most famous conductor in the Xiangjiang music scene couldn't help but go crazy.

Meng Lai's voice was very calm: "Sir, I beg your pardon, this is also a measure of last resort. It's not that we're ignoring our past friendships with our peers, and it's not that we're hostile to Sun Yun's predecessors, in fact, you should know that we've been patient for a month. ”

"Out of respect for Sun Yun's predecessors' past achievements, and respect for his strong will to spend a full ten years to overcome the disease, all the musicians in our troupe have been rehearsing with Sun Yun's predecessors without complaint during this month's time, but what is the current situation of Sun Yun's predecessors, I am sure you must be very clear that this problem has now reached the point where it has to be solved."

"Sir, five years ago, you personally invited me to come to the Xiangjiang Festival Orchestra, and this is also the place where I really started and really took off, I love this orchestra, and I am willing to make my due contribution to this orchestra. So...... I can't just watch the reputation of the orchestra be ruined and turn a blind eye. ”

"You can understand my thoughts, and I will make such a suggestion to you; If you don't understand what I'm thinking, I'll give you this advice anyway. This is also my duty and responsibility as the concertmaster. ”

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

Although Meng Lai's words were calm as usual, the implicit meaning of forcing the palace in these words could be heard by anyone.

Cai Qingde quietly looked at the pale young man in front of him, his eyes gradually became cold, and his heart felt cold for a while.

Meng Lai's words just now were so high-sounding that even Cai Qingde couldn't refute them. But what kind of person Cai Qingde is, he has been in the classical music circle for decades, what is the calm face of the orchestra principal in front of him, how can Cai Qingde not know!

……

Five years ago, Cai Qingde personally transferred the newly awarded Karl . The talented violinist, who won the third prize in the Fleisch International Violin Competition, invited the Xiangjiang Festival Orchestra and handed him the important position of concertmaster. At that time, Cai Qingde's move caused a great shock in the classical music scene in Hong Kong.

Meng Lai was extremely talented in violin playing, but at that time, neither his popularity nor his actual performance level reached the level of the orchestra principal, and he was much worse. However, Cai Qingde attaches great importance to Meng Lai's development potential, and still made such a decision under great pressure, and has always given him the firmest support in the midst of doubts.

It wasn't until two years later that Meng Lai won the first prize at the Sibelius International Violin Competition with an outstanding performance of the Violin Concerto in D minor, and truly entered the ranks of world-class violinists.

In particular, it should be pointed out that the designated piece "Violin Concerto in D minor" that Meng Lai participated in the competition was able to make a breakthrough under the joint guidance of Cai Qingde and Sun Yun, which means that without the guidance of Cai Qingde and Sun Yun, Meng Lai would never have won the great honor that was decisive for him. So for Meng Lai, Cai Qingde is not only his benefactor, but also his nobleman. And at the most critical moment when he was moving forward and taking off, Sun Yun also gave him great help.

However, at this moment, when Sun Yun needed the warmth and care of his peers the most, and when Cai Qingde was under the pressure of the board of directors and needed the firm support of the members of the troupe, the person who led all the principals of all the voices of the troupe to meet Cai Qingde and asked Cai Qingde and the board of directors to issue a statement to postpone or simply cancel these two comeback concerts was precisely the orchestra principal whom Cai Qingde usually valued and relied on the most-Meng Lai.

Of course, Cai Qingde knew in his heart that Meng Lai's concern was not about the reputation of the orchestra, but about the damage to his own reputation.

The reputation of the orchestra is closely linked to the musicians, and if Sun Yun's two comeback concerts are outstanding, in addition to the praise that Sun Yun has received from fans and critics, the festival orchestra as the concerto will of course receive endless praise. Conversely, the festival orchestra has also been criticized by fans and critics. As the concertmaster of the orchestra, his image and reputation are closely linked to the orchestra and his glory and reputation.

I don't want to suffer from Sun Yun's "involvement", this is the truest thought in Meng Lai's heart.

This is also what makes Cai Qingde feel cold.

……

"Alai, what if...... I don't agree? ”

After being silent for a while, Cai Qingde asked in a deep voice.

"Sir, this is the conclusion reached after the discussion of all the principal members of the orchestra, and we agree that you should agree with our suggestion, and this is also for the sake of the reputation of the festival orchestra, I believe that Sun Yun's predecessors are tolerant and generous, and will not have any opinion on this."

Meng Lai remained calm.

"You ...... Do you think the same way? Cai Qingde's gaze swept over the faces of the chiefs present one by one: "Ah Kuan, you come and tell me." ”

He Bingkuan, the principal cello vocal department, was an old man in the orchestra, and at this time he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Cai Qingde: "Uncle De, Alai...... What Alley said...... Alai also said ...... There is also a little bit of truth. ”

"Alas~~~ Why is Ah Yun ...... Alas~~~"

After a few words were said intermittently, Ah Kuan was already sweating on his forehead.

"Sir," Meng Lai followed behind Ah Kuan, and persuaded with great "sincerity": "If you want to decide, you will decide." ”

"Alai, what do you want Sir to break, can you let me listen to it?"

Sun Yun and Ye Zi pushed the door and walked in. (To be continued.) )
