Miller is an ordinary young American, but also a crazy music fan.

Unlike today's young Americans, who are obsessed with rock and roll, Miller likes traditional music, especially symphonies, which makes his friends nickname him "The Sixteenth Century Master".

Today is New Year's Day, and Miller's parents are going to watch a movie together as a family to celebrate, but Miller refuses because he wants to stay at home and watch live TV.

The New Year's Concert at the Los Angeles Music Center was conducted by the renowned Maestro Bernstein and performed by the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra, which is a must-see for a symphony fan. Unfortunately, concert tickets were too expensive and sold out early, so Miller had to watch live TV at home.

The whole family watched the movie, and Miller was the only one left in the family. Just as the concert was about to start, Miller's girlfriend Jenny arrived.

Jenny said angrily: "Oh, my sixteenth-century lord, today is the first day of the new year, and you can't go out to the movies with me?" ”

"Sweetheart, stop making trouble, the concert will start soon." Miller stared intently at the TV.

Jenny sat on the sofa helplessly, what could she do if she met this kind of superb boyfriend?

In fact, Bernstein was not just a conductor and composer, he was also a television personality. When Miller and Jenny were young, Bernstein popularized music knowledge on television programs, and his elegant conversation and handsome appearance added him countless fans, including many children.

It was at the age of six that Miller became fascinated by Bernstein's television program and became fascinated by classical music, and he is now learning to play the violin.

The concert had begun on the television, and Miller listened quietly, his arms dancing to the rhythm of the symphony. And next to him, his girlfriend Jenny was already asleep on the sofa.

Unconsciously. More than two hours of light yīn passed with the music, and Miller's parents and younger siblings had already finished watching the movie and were home.

"Oh, this old man is still listening to his concert." Miller's brother, Tom, scoffed.

Miller turned a deaf ear to his brother's words and remained glued to the television.

Suddenly, the host of the concert walked up to the stage, and Miller thought that the host would announce the end of the concert, but the host said, "For the last performance of the evening, we have a mysterious performer." He hails from the ancient and mysterious East, and the instrument he plays is at least 7,000 years old, a prehistoric instrument. It has also been a court musical instrument in China for thousands of years. Kang from Hong Kong, and his Chinese ocarina, please! ”

A young Asian man walked up to the stage and waved at Bernstein and the orchestra members on the conductor's stage. He bowed a few times to the audience and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Kang Jianfei, from Hong Kong, China, and I will bring you a song "The Original Scenery of My Hometown". It's a piece I wrote myself. I hope my friends in the United States will like it. ”

Miller, who was still watching TV seriously just now, suddenly exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Oh, hell, what is this Chinese coming up for?" Playing the ocarina at a symphony concert, which bastard came up with a bad idea. ”

Miller's shouting immediately woke Jenny from her sleep, and the rest of the family ran over as well, and his father asked, "What happened?" ”

Miller pointed to the TV: "That Chinese is going to play the ocarina at a symphony concert." And he was conducted by Maestro Bernstein, and the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra accompanied him! ”

Jenny smiled: "The Chinese all look similar, he has the same face as Bruce Lee (Bruce Lee)." It's all meocre. ”

Miller's father: "Listen to him, I don't think the Los Angeles Music Center will just find anyone." ”

In the middle of a few words, the performance had already begun, and the first sound of the violin and the inaudible piano sounded.

After a prelude, the quaint and desolate Xun suddenly sounded. It is like the echo from the eternal flood, and it is like the call from the deep mountains and valleys.

I only listened to it for a few seconds. Miller was suddenly stunned and muttered to himself, "Even, buy cakes!" ”

At this time, in the concert hall of the Los Angeles Music Center, countless audiences who came to listen to the symphony were also stunned, and immediately listened carefully after coming back to their senses, and gradually listened to it fascinatingly.

It's not that "The Original Scenery of Hometown" is so good that it kills the symphony, but these music fans have listened to the symphony many times, but listening to Tao Xun's performance is the first time, and the feeling is naturally shocking. It's like a Chinese music fan who has been listening to the polls suddenly puts himself in the live performance of a symphony orchestra, and it definitely makes the hairs of his whole body stand up when he listens to it, and his heart is deeply shocked.

Bernstein is worthy of being a master, and he arranged and rehearsed "The Original Scenery of Hometown", which took a total of three hours, but the sound effect was far better than the version arranged by Li Fanyu. The combination of various Western musical instruments and Tao Xun does not seem abrupt and isolated at all, and there is a sense of harmony that complements each other.

After the song "Papapapa......" was played, the concert hall burst into applause like cháo.

For these audiences, Kang Jianfei's appearance was a complete surprise, although he was not playing a symphony, but the novel instruments and music styles made them very useful.

Kang Jianfei put down Tao Xun and said into the microphone: "The next song is Tao Xun's solo - "Sky". ”

This time there was no accompaniment, but the music was much purer. The voice, like its name "Sky", seems to come from the clouds outside the sky, ethereal and ethereal, sometimes unprovoked, taking the listener to fly in the sky.

Before Miller could say anything on the TV, his girlfriend Jenny was pleasantly surprised: "Wow, what a clean sound, I love this song." Miller, what is that Chinese name? ”

"How do I know the way?" Miller shrugged, "But it's a really good tune." ”

On the TV, the concert has ended, conductor Bernstein is shaking hands with the orchestra players, and Kang Jianfei is also shaking hands with everyone in celebration.

Bernstein patted Kang Jianfei on the shoulder and said, "Kang, your performance is great, I have promised Columbia Records to arrange the music for your other ten pieces." ”

"Thank you so much." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.

Columbia had already recorded part of the version of the record with Chinese instruments from Hong Kong, and asked Bernstein to arrange it, so naturally it was creating another version. At that time, the two arrangements will be released together. It depends on which one the music fan prefers, and many people may choose the two versions together.

Thanks to the presence of Bernstein, the concert attracted more than a dozen journalists. Before the concert began, these reporters didn't care about Kang Jianfei, but when the concert ended, Kang Jianfei was surrounded by reporters.

The next day, the Los Angeles Times, the headline of the entertainment section was the news of Bernstein's performance. After this news, the newspaper devoted about 500 words to Kang Jianfei's performance, with the title: "Mysterious Performer Appears at Concert, and the Sound of Ancient Musical Instruments Amazes the Audience".

The story is simple. is to describe Kang Jianfei's appearance, and ordinary readers will not read it much. However, people in the music industry and symphony lovers in the United States are deeply impressed by Kang Jianfei, and many people are inquiring about Kang Jianfei's specific situation. This is mainly due to the effects of Bernstein and live television.

The day after the concert, some radio stations in the United States also began to broadcast the tracks of the album "The Original Scenery of Hometown", and Kang Jianfei came to KTLA TV in Los Angeles to record a variety show.

The show was not recorded specifically for Kang Jianfei, he was just one of the guests who were invited, in addition to some guests from India, rì, Egypt, the Philippines and other countries. The theme of the show. It is the different customs of each country.

There are two hosts in the show, one male and one female, until the show began to be recorded, Kang Jianfei felt like a fool at the mercy of others. The most important thing is that when he recorded the show, he couldn't hear what these people were at all, and Liu Hongsheng had to sit next to him and translate for him, but once the others were several people talking at the same time. He was completely blind.

Kang Jianfei saw that the camera lens was not facing him, so he took the opportunity to whisper to Liu Hongsheng: "I think Columbia is playing with me, what is the publicity effect of this kind of show?" ”

Liu Hongsheng: "This show is very popular in the western region. The ratings have been high. You played once on the show, and the publicity was even better than last night's performance at the Los Angeles Music Center. ”

The guests from Rì and Egypt next door were arguing over the dress of Chinese women, and Kang Jianfei couldn't join the battle group, so he had to chat with Liu Hongsheng.

Fortunately, Kang Jianfei only came to promote music, and the Columbia company also communicated with the program team. specially asked him to play a piece of Tao Xun during the recording.

After Kang Jianfei finished playing, he really shocked a bunch of foreigners in the show studio. But these guys just had a few compliments. It evolved into something that boasted about their respective countries.

"It's great music, but so is Philippine music."

"We also have a lot of good folk instruments, such as the shamisen."

"Egypt is not bad, many modern musical instruments are evolved from ancient Egyptian instruments, such as the modern guitar is the ancient Egyptian poetic qin."

“……”

Kang Jianfei was too lazy to fight with them, thinking that he had finished recording today's show in a fool's way, but in the most interactive session, an episode suddenly appeared.

The guest from India suddenly walked up to Kang Jianfei: "I heard that you Chinese know kung fu, I want to talk to you." ”

This was purely an accident, the host couldn't help but guide the broadcaster, the director nodded, and continued with a gesture.

Kang Jianfei had a surprised expression on his face, and said in a middle voice: "Isn't Sange good at climbing trains and dancing?" How to change to martial arts. I will sing a song "I play with mud in the Northeast", or we will collaborate on a song, how about I sing with you and dance? Medicine, Chek trouble, pancake fruit to a set ......"

Liu Hongsheng was in a cold sweat, and he didn't know how to translate it.

Indian guest: "I practiced Indian Kalari Payat martial arts, and I came to ask Chinese kung fu for advice. ”
