Chapter 1209: Tickets to Carnegie Hall

Mr. Wang, we meet again, I come to see you every day these days, but I can't see you all the time. Taking advantage of the end of the song, Yo-Yo Ma came over to say hello again, and Guo Yan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm really sorry, I really didn't expect you to be in such a hurry, rehearsing a new piece at home for the past two days, so I didn't come over." Shen Long smiled and apologized to Yo-Yo Ma.

"How can I not be in a hurry, hearing such a good tune and such an interesting performance technique, my heart is very itchy." In fact, it's not just Guo Yan who is anxious, after several days of fermentation, the sense of expectation in Yo-Yo Ma's heart is almost at its peak, "The new song is the one just now?" It's the same style as "Silk Road", what is the name of this song? ”

"I haven't had time to think of a name yet." "Silk Road" is better, because the song originally described the desolation and loneliness of the Northwest Desert, while "Night Fight" is not easy to deal with. So I just didn't say anything.

"I feel that this new piece is a little more intense than 'Silk Road', and the visual expression should be constantly changing, and it seems that cello and cucurbits alone are not enough, and it seems to be complete with some percussion instruments." Yo-Yo Ma reviewed the song and said.

Shen Long gave him a thumbs up in his heart, genius is awesome, Tan Dun also used constantly changing drums and occasional zither when dealing with this piece, Yo-Yo Ma can understand these just by listening to it once, it is indeed remarkable.

At this time, Yo-Yo Ma's friend came to urge again, today also needs to be rehearsed, although Yo-Yo Ma is reluctant, he can only leave, but this time he did not make the mistake of last time, took out the business card and handed it to Shen Long, "Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry, I wanted to talk to you more, but I still have a rehearsal task today; Do you think that's okay? If you're not busy today, when my rehearsal is over in the afternoon, let's go have a meal and talk slowly? ”

This time, Shen Long didn't pretend to be forced, and continued to play some appetizing tricks, and took the business card happily, "No problem, I'll wait here for you to get off work." ”

After Yo-Yo Ma left, Robert and Boris surrounded again, "Wang, congratulations, you have taken the first step into the mainstream music circle in the United States!" "It's their dream to be recognized by insiders, but they haven't had the opportunity to get Shen Long today after performing at Lincoln Center for so long.

"Qi Ming!" Guo Yan hugged Shen Long's arm excitedly, a trace of tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, how difficult it has been in the past few months, although she has made a lot of money, but for her, who is used to performing in the concert hall, she still wants to return to the concert hall, and now this opportunity has finally come.

"It's still early, and it's not easy to think about it." Shen Long is very calm, getting the approval of Yo-Yo Ma is only the first part, and there are more thresholds to be passed in the future.

"I know, I know, haven't we already started!" Guo Yan also understands that success is by no means so easy, but this is definitely a good start, it is like an unknown underground singer who was taken by Jay Chou when he sang in a bar, which does not mean that you will become popular immediately, but the door to success has opened a crack, and it is countless times better than those who can only look outside the door.

"You can rest for a while and calm down a little, there are so many listeners!" Shen Long pointed to the audience gathered around, and Yo-Yo Ma's arrival once again helped them attract many customers.

"Oh, I'll be fine for a while, for a while." Guo Yan quickly wiped away her tears and sat aside to recover her mood, while Shen Long continued to perform, his performance was as stable as ever, without reducing psychological fluctuations at all.

In the afternoon, Yo-Yo Ma reappeared in front of them, and brought a car to take them to a nearby club, where there was no outsider interference, and Yo-Yo Ma took out his cello and began to ask Shen Long for advice on the unique techniques he used in playing "The Silk Road".

"This is actually the use of erhu playing fingering to unify the style of music with Western characteristics with Western characteristics...... Shen Long gave him a serious demonstration, and glanced at Yo-Yo Ma's cello by the way.

This piano is very famous in the classical music world, called "Montaniana cello", nicknamed "petunia", made in 1733, in the era when Shen Long traveled over, some experts commented that the value of this instrument was about 30 million US dollars.

In 1999, Yo-Yo Ma threw the cello in a taxi while performing in New York, and was later returned by the taxi driver.

After the death of the famous cellist Jacqueline Dupree, her "Davydov Stradivarius cello" was auctioned for hundreds of millions of yuan, and the new buyer decided to lend it to Yo-Yo Ma, who also used it to play many classic pieces.

These techniques are not difficult, Yo-Yo Ma quickly found the way, and then embarrassedly put away the cello, took Shen Long and Guo Yan to the table and sat down and began to eat.

The elegant decoration of the club and the delicacies all made Guo Yan feel amazed and restrained, this capitalist country is too extravagant, right?

Shen Long was unmoved, compared to what he had seen, this point was nothing at the moment, he chatted with Yo-Yo Ma about his thoughts when he created this song, of course, these were all retold by him based on Tan Dun's interview, Yo-Yo Ma listened very attentively, whether to insert two sentences, the evaluation of these two tunes is very high.

chatted until late at night, Yo-Yo Ma reluctantly got up, "I really want to talk to the two of you for a while, but unfortunately tomorrow is going to perform, I have to go back early to rest, now that I have Mr. Wang's home phone, then make an appointment next time I have time!" ”

"Oh, by the way, these are two tickets for this concert, I hope you two will accept them." Yo-Yo Ma took out two tickets and handed them to Shen Long.

"Then I'm welcome, to be honest, we have long wanted to see it, but the tickets are too expensive to afford." Shen Long took it, Guo Yan was full of excitement, not knowing what the top concert in the United States would look like.
