Chapter 1252: Wang Qiming Concert Hall
Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, we are mainly going to the United States to study this time, so it is better for everyone to keep a low profile. "Hearing this, the leader of the national orchestra is a little weak-hearted, let's go to the United States this time, how awesome the United States is, it seems a little inappropriate for you to be so aggressive, right?
"I wouldn't have said that if I had been to the symphony orchestra where I used to work, the New York Philharmonic is indeed better than us; But I'm here to find you all this time, who plays the pipa, plays the erhu, and plays the flute all over the world, and is there anyone more awesome than those here? What can we learn in the United States? Hearing him say this, Shen Long was a little unhappy.
In fact, if you want to say that you want to study, it is not without things worth learning, such as the decoration and layout of Carnegie Hall, the operation of American orchestras, etc., these are all worth learning, but what does this have to do with me and Master Fang? If you want to learn, you have to learn, and Master Fang and I are only responsible for shocking the Americans and letting them know that Chinese music is also very good.
This is not because Shen Long has any opinions about him personally, but he is simply not used to the current atmosphere of thinking that everything is good in foreign countries.
"To be honest, I have been able to make a name for myself in the United States over the years, all thanks to traditional Chinese music, our ancestors have left us such a good thing, we should be proud, the current influence of traditional Chinese music is far less than that of Western classical music, and the most important thing is that our economy is not as good as others." Shen Long sighed.
"If we get into the economy in the future, we need to spread culture to the outside world, and then there will not be many people practicing traditional musical instruments; I insist on coming back to invite you to New York this time, just to let the young people in China see that the precious legacy left by our ancestors is really a good thing, and it is indeed worth learning. Shen Long said solemnly.
When Shen Long crossed over, China had begun to export its culture to the outside world, not only Douyin and the Internet were popular abroad, but China's Hanfu and traditional music were also loved by many people abroad, and many videos of playing traditional Chinese musical instruments on some video websites have received considerable clicks and likes.
When the new generation of international students go abroad, they will also bring the musical instruments they have practiced since childhood, invite three or five friends to form a folk orchestra in the school, or go to the places with the most dense local traffic, put on Hanfu, play the guzheng, and play the pipa, so that those foreigners can also feel the charm of traditional Chinese music.
Official institutions are also doing similar activities, constantly sending official representatives to spread folk music abroad, Shen Long, a high school classmate who studied guzheng, went on tour to France, and even the Vienna Musikverein has repeatedly appeared Chinese folk music performers.
As soon as Shen Long's words came out, Fang Jinlong and Chen Jun's eyes were a little red, and even the leader just now sighed softly, why don't they love traditional Chinese music? But now that the orchestras are having a hard time, and young people tend to want to learn Western music, the future is probably not optimistic.
"Teacher Wang, what you said said to our hearts, I have been learning the pipa for so long, I just don't want the things left by my ancestors to be lost! This time I went to the United States, I will definitely do a good job! Fang Jinlong said, and other musicians also responded.
"Teacher Wang, I said the wrong thing just now, don't blame me......" The leader also immediately apologized to Shen Long.
"I don't blame you, in fact, this time I went to the United States, it was not only them who I planned to bring with me, I also wanted to invite a few leaders to go with me; In fact, what I just said is also wrong, the United States is not without things worthy of our learning, at least the decoration equipment of the concert hall, propaganda organization, etc., are worthy of our study, and we will have to work hard for the leaders in this regard. Seeing his sincere attitude, Shen Long was also pleased.
"This relationship is good, we must study hard!" Nowadays, going abroad is a very rare opportunity, often only those large units have the opportunity, I didn't expect this kind of good thing to fall on my head, the leader immediately put Shen Long's blame just now in the back of his mind, if you can go abroad after being scolded, then please scold me a few more times!
"There is one more thing to discuss with the leaders!" Shen Long began to prepare for returning to China in the future, "When I came to us today, I found that it was still the same as when I came a few years ago, no, it is much more dilapidated than the last time I came, how can such a venue meet the needs of performances?" ”
"It just so happens that I should be able to make some money from this concert, and I want to donate this money and use some savings to repair the performance hall of our Chinese orchestra; The specific plan will be determined after the leaders go to the United States to study, or I will ask someone from Toei Co., Ltd. to help find a designer to redesign, if you don't repair it, simply dismantle and rebuild, do you think it is appropriate? "Folk music and Western classical music have different requirements for venues, so it might be better to find a Japanese designer.
The leader was stunned by the pie falling from the sky at the moment, what? Not only to send us abroad, but also to send us new venues? This favor is very good.
"Mr. Wang, you have helped our Chinese Orchestra a lot!" The leader hurriedly held Shen Long's hand with both hands, "I'll report to my superiors immediately, if they don't agree, I'll stay in the office and not leave!" ”
"Then I'll leave this matter to you." As long as this thing can be done, in the future, people in the traditional music circle in China will have to think of their own good, and when I return to China, I want to do something, why are they embarrassed not to support it?
After the matter here was dealt with, Shen Long went to the symphony orchestra where he used to work, and also donated a venue to them, which is also the place where he worked, so he can't give it to outsiders and not give it to himself, right? Moreover, it is important to promote traditional Chinese music, but Western music should also be learned, and it is only by inclusiveness that we have achieved the glory of China, and it is not appropriate to be too stingy.
Since he wants to donate, then be generous, after running these two units, Shen Long went to the conservatory where he studied back then, and took out a sum of money to help them purchase equipment, decorate the rehearsal room, set up scholarships, and so on.
The leaders of several units went to the relevant departments to report together, and the heads of the relevant departments were both happy and a little apprehensive, this kind of good thing must be supported, but in this case, the favor owed is too great, right? How do you pay it back?
He threw out the question, and the leaders of several units were also a little embarrassed, and a group of people discussed for a long time, and finally the leaders of the Chinese orchestra came up with a good solution, "Otherwise, let's name the newly built concert hall Wang Qiming Concert Hall, right?" ”
