Chapter 377: Conductor Chen Xieyang
The station of the Shencheng Symphony Orchestra is located on Xiangnan Road in the central area of Shencheng, adjacent to the bustling commercial street Haihuai Road, and the orchestra is near the famous Xiangnan villa in Shencheng, with many cultural and historical sites. It's a good place to get quiet in the middle of nowhere, and in ten or twenty years, it's a real matter of land.
However, now, the tide of real estate development has not yet risen, and it is still a peaceful and peaceful street scene, with old buildings, old shops, old houses, and old alleys still well preserved.
On the street, there are not many passing cars, and occasionally passing by can only hear the rustle of wheels rolling on the road, and there is no horn honking, as if the driver does not want to disturb the cleanliness of the street.
The taxi stopped at the door, Ye Zi paid the money, registered with the doorman with the guitar on his back, asked for directions, and then walked into the door.
Today was a rehearsal in the orchestra's rehearsal hall, and Ye Zi walked all the way inside according to the instructions of the doorman. After a while, they walked in front of an old-fashioned domed building crawling with creepers. The rehearsal hall of the Shencheng Symphony Orchestra is located on the south side of the ground floor of this building.
The rehearsal hall is nearly 200 square meters in size, and it is a large room similar to a lecture hall. However, the area of the steps is not small, and there is still room for the players to rotate after they are placed with their instruments and music stands. The steps are long, and on each step there are more than a dozen performers sitting down at the same time, just like sitting on the stage during a performance. The height of the steps is small, and with a slightly larger leg lift, you can step into the center of the two-meter-wide step at once.
In front of the steps, there is a small raised plane about 30 centimeters high across the ground three or four meters away, which is the position of the conductor. A square is painted in white lacquer on the right side between the conductor and the steps, where a chair is placed, and that is where the soloists are prepared.
The door is at the opposite end of the stairs, with only one door on the left. Looking in from the doorway, rows of music stands lined up at every playing position, waiting for their master to come and use it. Some large instruments that are difficult to move, such as timpani, harp, piano, etc., are quietly placed in their respective positions.
This rehearsal hall is a bit rudimentary. At the time, though, most orchestra rehearsal halls weren't much better.
Today's rehearsal time is scheduled to start at two o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Zi didn't want people to be picky, so he had already rushed to the rehearsal hall at 1:40. But the performers haven't arrived yet. There was only one logistical errand keeper at the door.
After asking about the name and the like, the other party told SΓΉ Ye Zi to go to the director's office first, and Chen Xieyang wanted to meet him first.
In the innermost part of the second floor of another old house, Ye Zi found the director's office.
"Please come in."
After knocking on the door, a soft voice spoke.
Ye Zi pushed the door in.
"You're Ye Zi, right? Come on, come on. Come in and sit. Chen Xieyang stood there and greeted Ye Zi very warmly.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, my teacher asked me to bring you a good one, this time I will trouble you." Ye Zi politely bowed in to say hello, and his expression was very respectful.
This is not only Sun Yun's request, Ye Zi himself also admires this legend in the Shencheng music scene.
In the Shencheng music scene, Chen Xieyang is an extremely thoughtful and bold and innovative figure. While others were still discussing the modernization and symphonization of folk music, he had already made a bold attempt to reinterpret many classic folk music works in the form of symphony orchestras, and achieved great success.
Besides. He also made bold innovations in Western classical music, incorporating many Chinese elements into Western music. The music world calls it "Western Music Middle".
Ye Zi knew that in later life, Chen Xieyang had done something that was very surprising but praised loudly. During his visit to Austria, Chen Xieyang personally adapted the encore piece "Radetzky March", integrating the elements of Chinese quintessential Peking Opera into this famous piece, which was played in Wein******** one of the temples of classical music, and won a warm welcome and applause from the audience.
This kind of move was criticized by the leaders for being bold, but Chen Xieyang did just that! In fact, it has also achieved good results, and the local media praised Chen Xieyang's adaptation, saying that it makes the old music shine with a different brilliance.
Afterward. He even adapted popular songs like "Chrysanthemum Terrace" into classical music and dedicated it to music fans, which was also loved and welcomed by music fans.
Chen Xieyang's family is a legend.
His mother's surname is Zhu, who was born in a scholarly family and is a typical talented woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is especially good at landscape painting. In the thirties of the twentieth century, Ms. Zhu held an exhibition in Shencheng with four other talented women, and won numerous praises.
His father was even more famous.
Mr. Dieyi's name may not be familiar to everyone, but when it comes to some songs, everyone must be familiar with them: "Nanping Evening Bell", "Lover's Tears", "Phoenix Flying", "Spring Breeze Kisses My Face", "Only You and No Him in My Heart" and so on, these songs are still sung today, and their lyricists are all Mr. Dieyi. throughout your life. Mr. Dieyi has composed more than 3,000 lyrics, many of which are hand-me-downs.
In the Chinese pop music scene, Mr. Dieyi's contribution is obvious to all, and no one can erase it.
In the face of such a legendary family and such a legendary figure, how could Ye Zi not respect and admire?
"Hehe, Brother Sun Xian has a heart. I'm okay here, and you thank him for me. Chen Xieyang has long Mediterranean-style hair, wears a pair of delicate gold-rimmed glasses, and has a very gentle voice.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I thank you for the teacher." Ye Zili is thoughtful.
Chen Xieyang smiled: "Okay, we don't have to thank you so much." You are Sun Yun's disciple, so you are not an outsider here, and you must contact you often in the future. Here's my home phone number, you put it away. β
Ye Zi put away the phone number, left his phone number to the other party, and then stood on the side and waited for the inquiry.
"What are you doing standing, sit down, sit down, I don't pay attention to these here." Chen Xieyang pulled Ye Zi to sit on the sofa in the reception area.
"Ye Zi, I heard that Sun Yun is coming back, is there such a thing? When is the arrangement? As soon as he sat down, Chen Xieyang immediately asked with concern.
Ye Zi turned sideways and faced Chen Xieyang.
"The teacher is preparing to make a comeback in the second half of the year, and the specific time has not yet been finalized, it should be in October. The teacher is now in the process of recovering training, Mr. Chen, please don't reveal this news yet. β
did not hide the fact that Sun Yun was preparing to make a comeback, that was the friendship between the two was put there, and Sun Yun also explained that he could inform him when he contacted him by phone.
Chen Xieyang stroked his palms and was overjoyed: "This is a good thing, this is a great good thing!" It would be a pity if Sun Yun retired like this! β
"I called him in the evening and I wanted to say hello to him. By the way, I'll treat you to dinner another day, and we'll have a good celebration together. β
Chen Xieyang stood up and walked back and forth in the room, talking non-stop, looking very happy and very happy.
Ye Zi was a little moved.
"Teacher Chen, how can I let you have a treat? Let me invite you, thank you for your concern for your teacher. Ye Zi also stood up, this is a courtesy.
"Hey, don't fight over this little thing, I'll call you when the time is set." Chen Xieyang waved his hand and said indifferently.
"That's right, Sun Yun's hand...... No problem, right? Chen Xieyang suddenly remembered Sun Yun's illness.
Ye Zi said with a smile: "The teacher's luck is very good, Professor Kent, a neurology expert in country G, has mastered the latest treatment methods, and the teacher is his first real patient, and he has improved very well after a course of treatment, and now he has fully recovered." β
"God bless!"
Chen Xieyang nodded heavily, kept pacing back and forth, and danced a little excitedly: "This is really auspicious!" It seems that God can't watch it, this is to ask Sun Yun to return to the music scene. β
"Yes, that's good!"
"Ye Zi, thank you for bringing me such good news! Come on, come on, let's sit down and talk. A hand slapped heavily on Ye Zi's shoulder, Chen Xieyang pulled Ye Zi to sit down again, and chatted happily. (To be continued.) )
