Shen Long could hear that Yo-Yo Ma was planning to pull himself, and he didn't want to say it too obviously, otherwise New York is so big and there are so many Chinese, can't he really find someone who can play gourd silk and erhu? This shows that his visit to Yo-Yo Ma's house that day was very successful, otherwise he would never have said so.

"Of course it's an honor to have this opportunity." Shen Long readily agreed, this is a good opportunity to appear in front of American musicians.

"Well, this is the rehearsal schedule for this performance, you practice at home first, and then we will practice together according to the schedule." Yo-Yo Ma took out a piece of paper and handed it to Shen Long.

"Don't worry, we'll be on time." In this case, there will be no way to perform outside during this time, but there is also income from participating in such large-scale performances, plus the income from the sale of copyrights before, as well as the signing fee and deposit given by Toei Co., Ltd., Shen Long and Guo Yan don't have to worry about money at all now.

Yo-Yo Ma stayed for a meal, and during the meal, Guo Yan asked him about the child's study in the United States, and the situation he learned from Yo-Yo Ma was exactly the same as what Shen Long said, it is easy to study in the United States, but it is not so easy to go to a high-quality private school, not only to pay high fees, but also to have the introduction of celebrities.

In terms of celebrities, Yo-Yo Ma can come forward to help them solve it, well-known classical musicians are naturally a part of high society, and it is enough to rely on his face, but the cost is not what they can afford at present; Studying in this kind of school is not just about paying tuition, club activities, social practice activities, etc., all of which require the support of money and social relations.

After Yo-Yo Ma left, Guo Yan sighed, "Hey, I didn't expect the child to spend so much money on studying, it seems that we can only work hard for a while to see if we can hold on." After listening to Shen Long and Ma Yo-you's words, she didn't want Ning Ning to receive a sheep-herding education in a public school with those at the bottom of society.

"Well, Toei Co., Ltd.'s "Three Kingdoms" still has a long preparation period, otherwise this cost alone will be enough; But it doesn't matter, at most next year, when Ning Ning is in junior high school, we will be able to take her over. "Hey, in another 20 years, Chinese parents will also start to have a headache about their children's education, and Guo Yan is now encountering a situation that many people will encounter.

Ning Ning's misfortune in the future in the original book is certainly affected by the divorce of Wang Qiming and Guo Yan, and at the same time, it is also indispensable to study in a garbage school, and sending her to a better school should avoid these tragedies, right?

"There's still a year to go, I miss Ningning." After going through so many things, Guo Yan has no doubts about it, but when she thinks of seeing her daughter next year, Guo Yan wants to cry.

"Although we can't come over to study, can we go back, or can we take Ning Ning over for a summer vacation or something." Shen Long comforted, "We can't send her to a good school now, but it's not a problem to pick her up to play, and by the way, it can also allow her to practice her English more and adapt to life in the United States in advance." ”

After such a comfort, Guo Yan calmed down again and began to rehearse the upcoming repertoire with Shen Long, and after the practice was over, Shen Long said another thing, "We have all practiced the tunes these days, and it should be almost the same to participate in the joint training and run-in a few times when the time comes; Now we have to settle the costume thing. ”

"Wouldn't it be okay to wear a formal suit like any other band?" Guo Yan asked.

"It's not suitable, those are the costumes of Western classical symphony orchestras, and we are going to play folk music this time, so naturally we can't wear the same costumes as them." The music and costumes also have to go together.

"Then I'll put on the cheongsam from last time, and then I'll make you a tunic suit?" Guo Yan remembered the costumes of those folk orchestras when they performed abroad in the capital.

"It's not very good, we are playing the "Silk Road" this time, to show the style of the Han and Tang dynasties, the cheongsam originated from the Qing Dynasty, formed and the Republic of China, and the style of the Tang Dynasty and the strong Han Dynasty, I went to find information, let the tailor imitate the costumes of the Han and Tang dynasties for the two of us to make two sets, if there is a chance to perform in the future, we will wear this." Naturally, you have to wear national clothes to play Chinese music, and Shen Long plans to make modern Hanfu appear in advance.

If we want to promote Chinese traditional culture, we must not only let them enjoy the splendor of traditional Chinese costumes, and this performance is a good opportunity to appear.

During the period of the formation of the cheongsam and the decline of China, although it has its own unique beauty, it seems to be a little more childish, far less atmospheric than Hanfu; It is said that Kangxi and Qianlong secretly wore Hanfu in the palace, you see, even the emperor of the Qing Dynasty thought that Hanfu looked better than his own clothes, let alone others?

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Buying performance costumes is a big deal, although it will definitely cost a lot of money, Guo Yan still agreed without hesitation.

The next day, the two of them went to Chinatown again, sat down with Ah Chun as usual, talked for a while, and then went to the tailor shop where they made cheongsam for Ah Chun last time, found the old tailor, and handed over the drawings they had drawn.

"Oh, sir, you're testing me, this dress is not easy to make, I have to think about it." The old tailor took the drawings and discussed with Shen Long in detail, discussing what materials to use and what sewing techniques to use, Shen Long saw the Hanfu of later generations, and he stayed in the Tang Dynasty for so long, he was no stranger to these things, and quickly finalized the plan.

"It's going to be used in half a month, it should be in time, right?" After finishing Shen Long asked, when he was ready, he had to wear it to Yo-Yo Ma, after all, this was his concert, if he felt that it was not suitable, then Shen Long could only wear formal clothes in a proper manner.

"I've never done it before, I'll try my best!" The old tailor did not dare to give a definite answer, after all, it was a new style, and he did not know what would happen in the process of making it.

"It doesn't matter, even if it doesn't work out this time, there will be a next time." Shen Long's desire to promote Hanfu will not be stopped by one or two failures.

The old tailor's craftsmanship is indeed exquisite, and during the production, Shen Long came to see it twice, and after giving suggestions for revisions, he finally finished the clothes before the last rehearsal.

Shen Long had greeted Yo-Yo Ma before, and when he and Guo Yan wore Hanfu during the last rehearsal, Yo-Yo Ma was stunned for a long time, and hurriedly agreed, he felt that these two clothes were very compatible with "Silk Road".

Finally, when the concert began, Shen Long and Guo Yan were about to usher in their first official performance in the United States.
