Chapter 1230 - Successful Performance (3400 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
The next song, also Shen Long's plagiarism of Yanni's work - "Together with Orchids", in traditional Chinese culture, orchids have a unique meaning, and idioms such as hollow valley orchid and gentleman such as orchid are all extolling the noble quality of orchids.
And this piece shows this noble quality of orchids; Elegant tunes, light and light, like flowing water, clean and calm, lingering in distant dreams, looking for the long-awaited tranquility; The beauty is tonight, the haunting landscape, in the dust, in the silent night, staying at this moment.
The audience at the scene was unconsciously immersed in this song, they followed Shen Long's music to see the orchid, felt the freshness and nobility of the orchid, at this time, they seemed to get rid of the glitz and bustle of New York, enjoy this rare relaxation, and the body and mind became peaceful.
Until the end of the music, they were still immersed in the song for a long time, and it took a while before they remembered to applaud, seeing this scene, Guo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, I thought they didn't like this song.
Next, Guo Yan took a short rest, Shen Long took out the suona and blew the song "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" that has been rumored in New York in the past few days, and the audience suddenly turned from quiet to excited; It's a pity that today's performance is indoors, and they don't have a chance to see the magical scene of birds being attracted by the music.
Despite this, they were greatly satisfied, and they all guessed in their minds how many kinds of birds he had imitated with suona.
After the performance of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" ended, most of the audience applauded as enthusiastically as before, and in a corner behind the auditorium, a middle-aged man applauded and whispered, "Since I came out, I haven't heard such an authentic Chinese song for a long time, and I feel a little homesick when I hear it; By the way, how did you check the information of these two people? Are they Chinese or U.S. citizens? ”
"After you said it, I immediately contacted China, the two of them used to work in the domestic symphony orchestra, and they had a daughter, and now Wang Qiming's brother Wang Qitian takes care of them...... I used to work honestly in the unit, but I didn't find any problems; As for nationality, the two of them have now got a green card, but they have not yet been naturalized, and the last time they came to us to go through the formalities, a staff member heard Wang Qiming chat, and he didn't seem to have any plans to become naturalized. ”
If you want to work in the United States, it is not very convenient to do without a green card, so Shen Long took advantage of the fact that he was a little more financially comfortable, so he went through this procedure, and he was very clear about it, and it didn't take much effort to get it done.
"Well, when I go back, I will find an opportunity to contact the two of them, and see if I can invite them to come to the embassy for a theatrical performance during the Mid-Autumn Festival or the Spring Festival." The middle-aged man nodded, and the person next to him hurriedly wrote it down.
Then it was Guo Yan's turn to take the stage alone, and she brought the famous song "Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight" to the audience, which also won applause.
After the previous foreshadowing, Shen Long finally came up with "Silk Road", "Night Fight" and some of his new compositions, these songs are heavier than "The Nightingale" and "With the Orchid", the traces of traditional Chinese music are heavier, and they may be a little abrupt at the beginning, but after the adaptation of "The Nightingale" and "With the Orchid", the audience can already enjoy this kind of music.
It is different from "The Nightingale" and "With Orchids" just now, this time the oriental color in the music is stronger, but it is still a good song...... Music critics have judged this, too.
Although it is not quite consistent with the orthodox music style of New York, it is also in line with his identity, after all, the style of every good composer has a strong national identity...... Isn't that the work of Toru Takemitsu before and Mr. Kitaro next to him like this? Someone took a look at Kitaro.
Today is not in vain, these tunes are enough for me to write a good article, think about the upcoming manuscript fee, and the aura of being a new style of music discoverer, these music critics can't help but smile at the corners of their mouths, it is a really good night.
Oh, by the way, when I came in just now, Ms. Banana seemed to say, let's not leave in a hurry after the show, there seems to be a drinking party in a while, well, you must say a few more words to him at the drinking party, his strength is enough to gain a foothold in the New York music industry, and it certainly doesn't hurt to have a good relationship with him in advance.
Before I knew it, more than two hours passed quickly, and the concert came to an end, and after the performance of "Dawn of Heroes", almost all the audience stood up and applauded warmly.
David Byrne, these unruly guys even whistled, causing everyone to look sideways for a while, what are you doing here? This is a classical concert, not a rock 'n' roll scene, and they know that these guys are out-and-out rock musicians, and even if they go to this kind of place, they will not change their old habits.
"Good performance, this is a very successful cultural exchange activity, Xiao Wang can be regarded as letting Americans feel the charm of our Chinese culture this time, such a comrade deserves to be commended!" The middle-aged man also stood up and applauded.
"I think what happened today, as well as what happened before, should also be reported to the domestic media and let the domestic media know." The person next to him said shrewdly that if this news was transmitted back to China, it would be beneficial to them if it was polished a little.
"Well, that's a good idea, go back and collect the reports of the American media during this time, as well as articles about today's concert, and send newspapers, magazines, and videotapes back to China." The middle-aged man nodded.
"Okay, I'll go back and start preparing." Well, not only do we have to send newspapers, magazines, and videotapes, but we also have to bring in our opinions, otherwise the domestic media will not be able to grasp the direction of propaganda.
After applauding for a while, the middle-aged man planned to sit down again and wait to leave, but the audience next to him was still standing, still applauding enthusiastically.
Shen Long took Guo Yan, Yo-Yo Ma and other members of the orchestra to bow and curtain call repeatedly, the audience's applause still did not stop, Shen Long and Guo Yan's faces appeared with smiles, Yo-Yo Ma quietly gave them a thumbs up, and the audience's enthusiastic response was enough to prove that their performance was a great success!
This time it was just a success in a normal concert hall, and maybe after a while, you can go to Carnegie Hall and enjoy the same success!
