Kang Jianfei is familiar with the name of the Los Angeles Music Center, because in his memories of another time and space, the Oscars were held here nine times out of ten.

The later Los Angeles Music Center consisted of four parts: a concert hall, a theater, a theatrical music stage, and a Disney concert hall, but at this time, the construction of the Disney Concert Hall had not yet begun, and the theatrical music stage had just been completed, which was far less powerful than later.

Due to Kang Jianfei's conflict with the ghost Charlie, the next day Abel brought a white man named Janssen again.

Compared to that Charlie, Janssen is completely two extremes. As soon as they met, this guy ran to hug Kang Jianfei and praised with a smile on his face: "Oh, Kang, I have heard your music, it is really amazing, it reminds me of my hometown in the Netherlands." ”

Listening to Liu Hongsheng's translation, Kang Jianfei also hugged the foreign devil and patted his shoulder and said, "I like the Netherlands very much, your flamenco dance there is very good." ”

"Ahem," Liu Hongsheng coughed, interpreting a little awkwardly, "Mr. Kang said that he likes Dutch windmills and tulips very much. ”

Janssen smiled: "Xie Lu Xie, I have the opportunity to invite you to the Netherlands as a guest, in fact, I haven't been back for more than ten years." ”

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Janssen said: "Kang, your publicity task is very easy, you only need to perform a few shows in Los Angeles and New York, do a few TV shows, and we will also promote "The Original Scenery of Hometown" through the radio channel. This concert is a New Year's concert, it's a symphony, and Columbia has put a lot of effort into it. ”

Kang Jianfei asked: "You mean to say that I will use Tao Xun as an intermission performance in a symphony concert?" ”

Janssen nodded, "Yes, and the conductor and performance team of this concert are top-notch, and the concert will be broadcast live on the music channel of the TV station." ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "It seems that you really spent a lot of effort. ”

Kang Jianfei followed Janssen to the concert hall of the music center, where the staff was still doing the most difficult equipment debugging.

Janssen took Kang Jianfei to a white old man and introduced: "This is Mr. Bernstein, the world's top symphony conductor. ”

Kang Jianfei didn't know anything about the symphony, and he didn't know what a heavyweight he was in front of him, so he shook hands with him and said, "Hello, old man." ”

After shaking hands, Bernstein did not speak to Kang Jianfei, but said to Janssen: "You will let this young man use a Chinese instrument to make trouble at my concert?" He would disrupt the overall atmosphere of my concert. ”

Janssen asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Bernstein said: "I mean, let him play after the concert is over, or I'll stop playing!" ”

Janssen shrugged, "But we've already made up our minds, haven't we?" ”

Bernstein said angrily: "But when you asked me to be the conductor, you didn't say that there would be a show in between, and I didn't know about it until last night. ”

Kang Jianfei looked at the two foreign devils arguing, and couldn't help asking, "What are they talking about?" ”

Guan Zhilin said: "That old gentleman said to put your program at the back, otherwise it will disrupt the atmosphere of the concert." ”

"What's the origin of this old man?" Kang Jianfei asked Liu Hongsheng.

"You don't even know him?" Liu Hongsheng was extremely surprised, he felt that since Kang Jianfei was playing music, he must have heard of Bernstein, "Mr. Bernstein is a famous music conductor, composer and music educator in the world, and more than three years ago, Austria held the 'Bernstein' music festival in recognition of his contribution to music. ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Although I don't know what this old man has done, it sounds like it's very powerful." ”

Liu Hongsheng said: "The old gentleman is 62 years old, and in recent years, he has rarely conducted performances in person. This time, he was able to conduct the concert, and it was broadcast live on TV, which must have attracted a lot of attention. ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "In this way, Columbia Records can stuff me into this concert, and the means are really powerful." ”

Liu Hongsheng also smiled: "In fact, this concert was held at the expense of Columbia. ”

Kang Jianfei said: "I understand, it turns out that I am the head of a concert." ”

Janssen and Bernstein had finished arguing, and he turned back to Kang Jianfei and said, "Kang, Mr. Bernstein wants to listen to your music first, and if he is not satisfied, you can only play it at the end." ”

"No problem." Kang Jianfei touched Tao Xun and said.

The staff moved the microphone, and after linking the audio equipment, they made an OK gesture to Kang Jianfei.

Bernstein saw Kang Jianfei take out a little guy and asked Janssen in surprise: "What is that?" Okarina flute? It's not like that. ”

Janssen said: "A kind of ocarina in China. ”

While the two were talking, Kang Jianfei had already exhaled and played, and a burst of melodious Xun music echoed in the concert hall. Not only Bernstein, but also the orchestra members and concert staff who were still playing their instruments were attracted by the sudden sound.

Unconsciously, Kang Jianfei was surrounded by people, listening to Kang Jianfei's playing.

In this concert hall, the orchestra members are all first-class performers in the United States, and even the staff of the concert hall are familiar with the music every day, so they can naturally hear the extraordinary things in Kang Jianfeixun's sound.

It's not that they're fascinated by Kang Jianfei's music, it's that these musicians see an instrument they've never heard before, just like a sword master sees a strange sword. What's more, Kang Jianfei also brought a set of powerful swordsmanship - tactful and melodious tunes, which naturally made these people happy to see the hunt.

Bernstein was also intrigued, he was himself a world-class composer, and he was greatly surprised by the different styles of instruments and music. After the performance of "The Original Scenery of Hometown", Bernstein was the first to applaud.

"Excellent!" Bernstein's disgust with Kang Jianfei had long since he didn't know where he had gone, and after shaking Kang Jianfei's hand again, he asked, "Sir, can you lend me your musical instrument?" ”

"Of course you can, I can give you one," Kang Jianfei learned from Liu Hongsheng that this old man was a world-level master, and then took out Tao Xun from his bag and handed it to Bernshi and said frankly, "Mr. Jiuyang's name, I like your music very much, this is my greeting gift." ”

Liu Hongsheng had an urge to roll his eyes when he translated this, Kang Jianfei obviously didn't know Bernstein a quarter of an hour ago, how could he have admired the name for a long time?

Bernstein took the Tao Xun and fumbled for a while, tried to play a few sounds according to the sound hole, and said: "It is somewhat similar to the Ocalina flute, but the sound is a little different." Friend from China, can you introduce it to me? ”

The director of the concert came running up to him and said, "Maestro Bernstein, it's time to rehearse." ”

"We'll talk about it later." Bernstein saw the good instruments and music at first glance, and it was quite a kind of Hong Qigong who saw the novel dishes, and he had already put aside today's rehearsal.

Kang Jianfei may not know anything else, but he knows all the relevant information about Tao Xun well, and he immediately showed off: "This musical instrument is called Tao Xun, which was born in prehistoric times, and it is at least 7,000 years away from now. Since the beginning of China's history, it has been an elegant musical instrument loved by princes and nobles, and it has been praised in Chinese poetry more than 2,000 years ago, and has been passed down as a court instrument. However, in modern times, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, this ancient instrument was in danger of being lost, and by the 30s, it was no longer visible in public performances. Now there are more than a billion Chinese in the world, and there should only be double digits of people who know this kind of instrument, and I hope to save this ancient instrument that is on the verge of being lost. ”

Liu Hongsheng translated Kang Jianfei's words, which immediately attracted the awe and admiration of these musicians. Westerners' impression of China is mysterious and ancient, and now a Chinese musical instrument from a prehistoric era suddenly appears, which is very much in line with Westerners' understanding and imagination of China. And Kang Jianfei, the protector of national musical instruments, is naturally a music peer who deserves much respect.

Bernstein was no exception, and he felt that the pottery in his hand was not only a musical instrument, but also a cultural relic and a work of art. The musical instruments of the prehistoric era still have a long heritage, and they are really high-end and high-end.

"Kang, what's the name of the tune you just played?" Bernstein asked.

Janssen didn't wait for Kang Jianfei to answer, so he hurriedly said: "It's called "The Original Scenery of Hometown", this is Mr. Kang's own music, and it has been put into a record and sold in Asia, this is one of the eleven songs on the record. ”

As soon as he heard that Kang Jianfei was still a composer, Bernstein suddenly had a better impression of Kang Jianfei, and said with a smile: "Kang, I'm really sorry, I misunderstood you before, thinking that you were a speculator who wanted to become famous through concerts. Your music is great, but are you ready to play solo at a concert? ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the solo, I would have come over to rehearse with the band a long time ago." ””

Bernstein asked, "Can I listen to your records?" ”

Janssen immediately called for a record, and in fact they had given Bernstein a record yesterday, but the old gentleman was not interested in listening to it at all.

After listening to the eleven pieces of "The Original Scenery of Hometown", all the musicians in the concert hall looked at Kang Jianfei squarely. Although some people don't like this instrument very much, they can still distinguish the quality of the music, and they naturally have a higher opinion of Kang Jianfei, the composer.

Many of the accompanying instruments on the record are Chinese, and Bernstein can't tell what they are. After listening, he asked Kang Jianfei: "Kang, I want to put your performance at the very end of the concert." ”

Janssen was depressed when he heard this, and before he could speak, Bernstein added: "Not a solo. ”

Kang Jianfei waited for Liu Hongsheng to translate, and Liu Hongsheng said in surprise: "Mr. Kang, Maestro Bernstein means that he wants to arrange your piece improvised, and let these Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra players accompany you!" (To be continued.) )
