Early the next morning, after Li Yange got up, he was about to tell Ning Ying that he might have to go to New York in the next two days, but who knew that he happened to meet Bertolucci who was going out in the aisle, and when he saw Li Yange, Bertolucci said with joy on his face: "Li, you were really great yesterday, and three judges have told me privately that they will watch our movie again." ”

"Huh?" Li Yange's head was full of question marks, and he didn't understand what the situation was now. It wasn't until Bertolucci told him what happened last night that he couldn't cry or laugh, he just discussed with Yo-Yo Ma about the folk music of different countries, how was it valued by the judges.

"Lee, if nothing else, there will be a good chance of multiple nominations for our film this time, and your Best Composition Award is also expected to be nominated." Bertolucci remembered what the same Douglas Baker had said yesterday, and the excitement in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

Douglas Baker was a well-known judge of the American Film Institute, and was once the most famous gold medal film critic in Hollywood in the fifties and sixties.

Douglas Baker, who can set off a frenzy of movie fans, has naturally become the object of competition for several major film companies, all of whom want him to do some publicity for his own films, but Douglas Baker is different from the film critics who received money and gave good reviews at that time, he has been engaged in the work of film critics for more than ten years, and every time he publishes any good film review in newspapers, magazines and other public publications, even if it is still regarded as a classic film today.

And just yesterday, Douglas Baker told Bertolucci very seriously that he likes the movie "The Last Emperor" very much, and will also recommend more friends and judges to take this film seriously.

These words made Bertolucci not sleep well all night, and his mind was full of wonders if he might win the Oscar for Best Director, or Best Picture.

Looking at the excited Bertolucci, Li Yange could understand his mood very well, and smiled: "This is mainly because the quality of the film you made is great, and I believe that those judges are full of vision for discovering masterpieces." ”

"You're right." Bertolucci clenched his fists slightly.

"By the way, director, I don't think I will be needed for the next public relations, right?" Li Yange asked.

"Well, I have handed over the next PR to the professional team, and when the nomination comes out on the 13th, I think you can go back to China for the New Year." Bertolucci patted Li Yange on the shoulder and said, "Li, thank you for your help this time, and Youyouma agreed to come over." ”

"Yes, how can I say that I am also a member of the film, and didn't you say that I also have a great hope of winning the Best Film Composition Award?"

"Of course, I believe you, Mr. Baker loves your music."

chatted with Bertolucci in the corridor for a long time, until Ning Ying got up, Li Yange remembered the matter, and told her and the director that she might have to go to New York in the next few days.

In this regard, the two naturally have no meaning, the public relations of the nomination have passed, and the public relations of the real Oscars in March have just begun, and this kind of public relations has nothing to do with Li Yange, even if it is director Bertolucci, it has nothing to do with it.

Because there will be a professional public relations team, in order to get votes, so as to target the personal preferences of each judge.

……

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Yange and Cheng Shaojun carefully prepared some gifts, and then flew to New York, and after getting in touch with Yo-Yo Ma, the two went to visit Ma's house together.

Ma Yo-you's father, Ma Xiaojun, is over seventy years old this year, but he looks quite tough, and he is full of energy, and when he heard Ma Yo-you say that Li Yange and the two came to visit him from China, he smiled very happily: "In the 25th year of the Republic of China, that is, before I went to France to study in 1936, I went to the Wuhou Temple in Rongcheng with my friends, and I still remember that there was a dense bamboo forest in the backyard, and I played a piece of high mountains and rivers with my friends there on a whim. ”

Li Yange said: "The mountains and rivers meet the bosom friend, and I think that Mr. must be your best friend of Ma Lao." ”

"It's a very good friend of mine, but it's a pity that during the Anti-Japanese War, I was persecuted by little devils because of my patriotic songs."

Ma Xiaojun shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention the past, and instead put the topic on the song "The Original Scenery of Hometown" composed by Li Yange, and praised this music, and when he heard that Li Yange was still a student of the Central Conservatory of Music, Ma Xiaojun was pleasantly surprised: "You are still a student of Central Music?" ”

Hearing this, Li Yange remembered that Ma Xiaojun's teacher was still the first dean of the school, and immediately smiled: "Yes, I am a freshman in the class of 1986, and I still have some relationship with Mr. Ma. ”

"Yes, I still remember that after the teacher became the dean, he wrote to me and invited me to return to China to teach, but for some reason, I couldn't go back." When talking about his mentor, Ma Xiaojun sighed, Ma Sicong died of illness in Philadelphia a few months ago, and he went to attend the funeral.

Li Yange also knew about this matter, and at the end of May, some leaders of Central Yin also held a memorial service after learning the news of Dean Ma's death.

Speaking of Ma Sicong, many people may not know him, but his "Homesick Song" is definitely familiar, because this song was later written by Guo Moruo and renamed "Dongfang Hong"!

After chatting for a while, Mr. Ma may still be old and his spirit is gradually deteriorating, Li Yange saw this, and also helped him to go to the room on the second floor with Yo-Yo Ma to rest.

When the two went downstairs, Yo-Yo Ma said: "Mr. Li next Wednesday, I will hold a solo concert at Carnegie Hall, and I want to play your song "The Original Scenery of Hometown" at the concert, I don't know if Mr. Li have time?" ”

Hearing this, Li Yange was slightly stunned, a little unsure of what Yo-Yo Ma meant, and said curiously, "Mr. Ma, I didn't understand what you meant." ”

"That's right, since I came back these days, I have been listening to the song "The Original Scenery of My Hometown" composed by you, trying to integrate the style of the cello, and found that although the effect is not bad, there is no ethereal inspiration of Xun, so I want to invite Mr. Li to perform with me on stage."

Li Yange couldn't believe his ears and invited himself to perform together? It's Carnegie Hall, a stage where only the world's top musicians have the opportunity to perform.

It's like an ordinary musician who is suddenly invited to perform at the Great Hall of the People, which is really surprising!
