Yo-Yo Ma glanced at Shen Long and said to those uninvited guests, "I understand your feelings, but this is the backstage, if you have any questions, can we go out and talk?" ”

"Sorry, we're so excited!" These people also knew the rules of the backstage, and when they saw Yo-Yo Ma's promise, they quickly quieted down and went outside with Yo-Yo Ma, Shen Long, and Guo Yan.

As soon as they got outside, the flash of the camera kept coming on, and several microphones arrived at the same time, and Yo-Yo Ma had to dissuade them again, take them to the break room, and start a formal exchange.

"YO-YO, can you tell us about these two friends? Also, how did you come up with the idea of playing this kind of work that is completely different from your previous style? A reporter from the New York Times asked.

"Okay, let me introduce you to these two musicians from China, Mr. Wang Qiming and his wife, Ms. Guo Yan, who came to the United States three months ago from their previous symphony orchestra in China; Mr. Wang is an excellent composer, and when I heard their music outside Lincoln Center, I was immediately attracted by this unique performance technique and melody......" Yo-Yo Ma recounted how he met Shen Long, and praised him and Guo Yan.

"Mr. Wang, can you tell me why you came to the United States? And, how did you come up with these two songs? The reporters immediately targeted Shen Long and Guo Yan.

Guo Yan was a little nervous, she had never experienced a similar scene before, but Shen Long was calm, I have seen a lot of Western reporters, when I was the godfather in the United States, when I led the Chinese team to win the World Cup, the scene was much more than this, I was still talking and laughing, what is this scene? Just a few journalists?

"I grew up in the capital of China, and I was deeply influenced by local music, which is deeply rooted in my heart. Studying at the Conservatory of Music allowed me to grasp the essence of Western music culture. This background of combining Chinese and Western music cultures provides me with the possibility and foundation to constantly break down various boundaries and create multicultural compositions, which is why I have this piece. ”

"As for why you came to the United States? Why come to New York? The reason is simple, because New York is the center of Western music and art, and as a musician, of course, you should come here to have a look and feel the orthodox Western music culture. Shen Long talked eloquently, not only explaining the reason why he composed this song, but also touting the United States.

The reporters were delighted by the fact that a foreign musician had made New York the center of Western musical art, even though they all felt that Berlin, Vienna and Moscow might have a deeper musical heritage than New York, but they were all Americans, and of course they would prefer their own country.

"My dream is to make music a borderless and cross-artistic field...... The profound heritage of Chinese culture is the root of my composition...... "Shen Long borrowed Tan Dun's speech when he won the Oscar to explain his creative philosophy.

"Mr. Wang, can you tell us about the costumes you are wearing? They look very beautiful and very charming. The costume designer also squeezed in and asked.

"This is a classical costume that originated in the Tang Dynasty of China, because this song is called "Silk Road", and the Silk Road was the link between China and the Western world during the Han and Tang dynasties, so we specially customized these two sets of clothes." Shen Long and Guo Yan turned around and generously showed them every detail of these two sets of Hanfu.

"Clothing and music can reflect the heritage of a civilization, and the Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous period in Chinese history, and the costumes of this historical period have distinctive characteristics."

At that time, foreign friendly envoys gathered in Chang'an, and also brought their culture to Chang'an, and the eclecticism of foreign clothing and clothing made the strange costumes of the Tang Dynasty more colorful...... This is also the result of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, and I came to the United States this time to learn about American culture, so it is perfect to wear this kind of clothing to perform. Shen Long told him about the cultural background of the two clothes.

"China is a country that is very good at absorbing the essence of other cultures, and although China has just reopened now, I believe that over time, musicians, painters, and writers like me who have come to the United States to study American culture will be ...... There will be more and more, and I hope that my artistic achievements will be recognized and loved by the American people. ”

"The United States is a multicultural country, an open country, and I believe that I will be able to achieve my dream in the United States." Shen Long touted the United States again, and he saw that the reporters and the audience had proud smiles on their faces, and as soon as the words ended, applause rang out, and the Americans also liked his answer.

It seems that the chance of his name appearing in the newspaper tomorrow is greater, for artists, reputation is a good thing, it can bring more opportunities and etiquette to himself, otherwise Shen Long would not bother to say this.

After chatting with these people for more than half an hour and exchanging contact information with each other, Shen Long was able to get out, and Yo-Yo Ma became an audience throughout the whole process, which was obviously his concert, but the reporter regarded Shen Long as the protagonist.

However, Yo-Yo Ma was not dissatisfied, he didn't like to deal with reporters very much, and with Shen Long helping him distract him, he couldn't ask for it.

"This is a good opportunity, and when the news comes out tomorrow, I believe you will definitely get more performances, but you can't relax, you have to come up with more good works." When he went back, Yo-Yo Ma did not forget his kind advice.

"Well, the new tune is already being written, and I will definitely show it to you as soon as it is written!" So, let's think more about using cellos for the next piece.

Back home, Guo Yan was still immersed in excitement, the two drank a few more bottles of beer to celebrate, and Guo Yan hurriedly wrote a letter to Ning Ning, telling about the success of tonight.

The next day, Shen Long was awakened from his dream by Guo Yan's excited voice, and when he opened his eyes, Guo Yan rushed into the bedroom with a few newspapers, shaking his shoulders vigorously, "Qi Ming, Qi Ming, hurry up, you see, we are on the American newspaper!" ”

"I'll see!" Shen Long rubbed his eyes, got up and took the newspaper, only to see that several newspapers talked about yesterday's concert, his two special style songs, and the Hanfu they were wearing.

"Haha, we're also famous this time!" Shen Long said with a smile.
