Chapter 194: Venue
The plane landed smoothly, and after a slight bump in the cushioning, it finally came to a standstill.
The hatch opened, and a burly, bearded, long-haired man stood at the hatch.
He took a deep breath, as if the air was fine wine and coffee, and he was savoring it.
"Nomura-sensei?" The casual assistant spoke.
Nomura opened his eyes and said in immature Chinese: "The taste of the land is vast and rich." ”
"No matter how big and rich you are, aren't those so-called artists your opponents?"
"No, the thousands of years of Huaguo, there are people who sell their reputation, and there are also predecessors who are really talented and learned, in the early years, I came to Huaguo, and at that time, like many Fusang people, thought that Huaguo talents were nothing more than that. One of my seniors used his talent to tell me that there are many strange people here. ”
"But...... Everyone in the country knows that you won the first place and returned to Fuso with glory. Teacher, you're kidding us. ”
Nomura shook his head as he walked down the stairs: "No, facts are facts, I did win the first place in the competition back then, but it was because a person gave up the competition halfway through the race, and gave up the honor for a woman ten years older than him." More than 20 years later, I still remember his name: Hua Yuanzhi. ”
"Hua Yuanzhi? Are you talking about Hua Yuanzhi, one of the most famous ancient music masters in China? ”
Therefore, the ranking does not mean anything, Huaguo has a good saying that "gold will always shine", even if he gave up back then, he still has such an achievement. This is worthy of everyone's respect. ”
The assistant pouted, disapproving.
When Nomura set foot in this vast land, his heart no longer had the contempt of the past, but with respect and awe.
He knew in his heart that if the other party had not voluntarily given up the competition, it would not have been certain who would have won the first trophy.
Afterwards, he searched for all the other party's works and found that although these works were from the market, they were superior to him in terms of concept and substance. Therefore, in recent decades, he has been concentrating on research and creation, until he feels that he is fully sure, and then he once again set foot in the land of China.
There is a saying on Nomura's door: "When I think of such an opponent, I chose this path in vain."
This sentence has been speculated and discussed by the Fuso media and the music industry, but in the end, there was no unified response and official response.
After Nomura and his entourage left the airport, the reporters who got rid of the obstruction of the group set off directly to the reserved hotel.
When he arrived at the hotel, Nomura asked him to find the phone number of the Listed Ancient Music Association and greeted him with a very low attitude.
Such a gesture makes the people of the Ancient Music Association feel more face-saving.
In the music association, well-known artists come together.
There are Wu Qing, a famous artist who often appears on the TV forum, Li Shiyuan, a professor at the High Court, and Lin Chengshi, who came in and was touted as an authority in the ancient music industry.
The three of them are all in their 60s, and when they got together, the topic naturally turned to this art exchange.
Wu Qing was very disdainful of this so-called ancient music master from a small country, and said unashamedly: "Everyone should know that this Nomura specially called the association, in my opinion, he is worried about losing to one of us, and he will not be able to save face when the time comes." ”
Lin Chengshi interface: "After all, it is a foreign guest, and the matter has been so hyped by the media, even if we take into account international friendship, we can't do too much at that time, everyone can get by on face, this has to be forgiving and forgiving." ”
The crowd laughed.
Li Shiyuan frowned, as a professor at the Higher Academy, he was more interested in studying ancient music and the popular direction of recent ancient music repertoire.
He said: "Don't take it too lightly, this Nomura is not simple, he won the championship in China that year, although there was no work outflow in the first ten years after returning to China, and his fame was not obvious in the next few years, but in recent years, his works have appeared frequently, and they are of quite high quality." ”
"Lao Li, you are growing up with the will of others to destroy your own prestige."
Li Shiyuan shook his head: "The two of you have been appearing on TV for the past few years, as for Lao Lin, you have been touted by those people recently, let's just say how many works have you come up with in recent years?" One or two? But what about quality? ”
The other two had unkind faces, and looked at Li Shiyuan with impatience in their eyes.
Li Shiyuan looked at the expressions of the two and understood that the other party couldn't listen to his words.
One is held by the media all day long, attends various symposiums, and frequently appears on TV, and the other is because he has survived his qualifications and seniority, so he is exaggerated by the circle, and none of them have the heart to devote themselves to research back then.
Even he himself has maintained the original state at most because of some things, but he is also at the point of resting on his laurels.
It is precisely because of his clear recognition of the current form that Li Shiyuan feels that it is now a step-by-step crisis.
Don't look at that Nomura's posture is very low, and he has done a good job in all aspects, but he feels that the other party is a wild wolf, as long as you don't pay attention to it a little, you will be torn to pieces.
After the three separated, Wu Qing and Lin Chengshi got together alone and had quite a prejudice against Li Shicheng.
felt that the other party was deliberately pouring cold water on them, and the achievements of the two were higher than his own.
Lin Shicheng has lived for most of his life, how could he not see this, he sighed, looked around the entire party venue, everyone was flattering each other, ranking each other according to seniority, he somewhat understood why some old-timers never participated in this kind of party.
Presumably, it is also because of the lack of distractions that some high-quality works can be launched.
Lin Shicheng was disheartened for a while, and was about to leave the party venue, when suddenly there was a commotion at the door.
"Nomura."
"Is that the Fuso man?"
"What is he doing here?"
Soon, Lin Shicheng saw a burly man striding in.
He's seen Nomura on the Internet, but generally this kind of portrait is only taken from the upper body and properly beautified, and at first glance, it's really hard to see that such a burly person is engaged in music from his appearance.
For this Nomura "kicking the gym", everyone is in the industry and knows very well.
Wu Qing and Lin Chengshi glanced at each other, and then one was on crutches, and the other was slowly greeted with his hands behind his back.
Nomura walked into the venue and saw the two people coming up to him.
He folded his hands together and confessed, "I'm really sorry to come uninvited." ”
Wu Qingdao: "Your Excellency can't wait, you just came to the listing and didn't look around, so you came to ask for advice?" ”
"Because of my mistake, the media hyped it too much, so this time I want to take advantage of the media's lack of preparation to discuss it with you.
Nomura bowed slightly, but because he was too burly, he still looked very disobedient in the face of these literati dressed as people at the venue.
Lin Chengshipi smiled and didn't smile: "In the final analysis, it's still in the name of communication." ”
After saying this, Nomura also smiled, straightened up, and the whole person was like a bear.
"My Mandarin is not good, you say yes, that's it. So since I'm already here, I don't know if the two "masters" in the ancient music world can give advice? ”
Wu Qing and Lin Chengshi smiled disdainfully at the corners of their mouths.
"In fact, although the ancient music has declined to the end, it has not regained its former glory, but it has also multiplied to the peak...... The most important thing is whether there is an "artistic conception" in the industry, no matter how gorgeous the song is, what ultimately touches people's hearts is the spirit in the ancient music, without these, it is an empty shell. ”
"I've seen it for a long time, and it's not an authority in the ancient music world." Wu Qing echoed.
Although Nomura knows some Chinese, it is just a daily conversation, so it is a little difficult for him to understand the meaning of these words.
It wasn't until the accompanying translator translated these words that he realized that the other party was belittling his work for having no "artistic conception" and no so-called spirit.
