"Xiaolin, here, sit down and talk!" At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Mu knocked on the door of Executive Vice President Yu Zhikui's office!

Seeing Lin Mu come in, Yu Zhikui put down the work at hand and pulled him to the sofa next to him to sit down!

After chatting with Lin Mu for a while about this period of work, Yu Zhikui's face turned pale and said,

"Xiaolin, you go back and prepare, on the fifteenth of next month, you and Sun Mei will lead the team to perform abroad, the first stop, Los Angeles!" Hearing that he was going to perform abroad, Lin Mu's expression did not change much, and he had already gotten the news that he had gotten the news!

Due to Lin Mu's explosion in the past two years, in fact, some foreign groups specializing in Peking Opera performances have long been eyeing Lin Mu and Sun Mei, a pair of golden partners.

It's just that there has been no negotiation with the National Peking Opera Company, otherwise, overseas performances would have already begun!

As the national face of Peking Opera, it is common for the National Peking Opera Company to perform in foreign countries!

Yu Zhikui and Li Zhengsu, the pair, have to go out to perform at least two or three times in the past year!

Many people wonder if they have to sing Peking Opera in English when they perform abroad? This kind of thinking is too redundant, in fact, whether it is Peking Opera or Deyun Club's cross talk, when it comes to foreign countries, the groups served are still mainly Chinese.

As for whether foreigners can understand, I'm sorry, it's not in my business! …… On March 15th, Los Angeles International Airport welcomed a group of domestic tourists!

Lin Mu took the lead and walked out with his suitcase! When he arrived abroad, Lin Mu took off his mask and hat, and finally was able to stand on the street boldly with confidence!

This is also the inconvenience caused by the explosion, Lin Mu is basically unable to travel normally in China, even if he is wearing a mask and a hat and is fully armed, he will still be recognized by the paparazzi and fans.

Outside the airport, there were staff specially sent by the brokerage company, holding a banner that read

"Welcome Mr. Lin Mu and Miss Sun Mei to a successful performance", there was a group of young ladies with flowers in their hands standing around, all excited!

These fans are all local Chinese, and when they heard the news that Lin Mu was coming to Los Angeles to perform, they all spontaneously came to greet Lin Mu!

"Mr. Lin, welcome, welcome to Roton all the way, hard work!" Seeing Lin Mu and his party walking out, the Chinese-American Zhang Kefan greeted him, shook Lin Mu's hand, and said enthusiastically!

"Lord Mu, I love you!"

"Lord Mu is so handsome!"

"Lord Mu-" Seeing Lin Mu, the group of young ladies who had been waiting for a long time could no longer hold back the ecstasy in their hearts, and pounced one by one!

Lin Mu met their requirements one by one, and in Sun Mei's strange eyes, with a lip print, he boarded the bus casually.

When the other members saw this scene, they also held back their laughter, and their hearts were full of envy and jealousy! The fans are too enthusiastic!

I got on the bus and stayed at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, which is not far from the Los Angeles Music Center, where the day after tomorrow will perform!

This time, Lin Mu was invited to perform by the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles. This Chinese Chamber of Commerce has business dealings with several Peking Opera Theaters in China, and since Mr. Mei Lanfang's visit to the United States to perform, it was this Chinese Chamber of Commerce that was able to complete it successfully!

In the eighties and nineties of the last century, there was a wave of Peking Opera performers visiting the United States to perform. However, as some Peking Opera performers had problems with their thoughts and stayed directly in the United States, this channel was closed in China!

It is not until the past ten years that there has been news that famous artists of the Peking Opera Company have occasionally performed abroad, but there are very few!

Lin Mu and Sun Mei's performance abroad also went through layers of approval, and finally someone came to escort them before they were allowed to come out!

Don't look at Lin Mu who is young now, but he can already be regarded as a national treasure-level Peking Opera actor, if there is no accident, Lin Mu will definitely be able to become a Peking Opera actor at the level of the four major students, and may even become a symbol of the times!

Such an actor is very important to the state! So, for the sake of the forest herdsman

On the issue of "security", the National Peking Opera Company applied for a special guard for Lin Mu! A flat-headed brother in a black tunic silently followed Lin Mu's side as if he never smiled!

However, when the group of crazy young ladies rushed up just now, this flat-headed brother retreated very sensibly!

"Brother Liu, weren't you sent to protect me, why did you run away when that group of fans came up just now?" Lin Mu didn't notice the lip prints on his face all the way, until he entered the hotel and was looked at by so many people with strange eyes, he found something wrong, took out his mobile phone and took a look, almost died of anger!

At this time, the group of bad teammates laughed out loud, and Sun Mei even helped the person next to her to sit on the ground without laughing!

Along the way, everyone has been holding back and not laughing! Brother Pingtou's name is Liu Wei, and when he heard Lin Mu's words, he also shrugged his shoulders and said,

"Those people are not in any danger, I stopped them, you should be unhappy again!" Hearing this, Lin Mu's eyes widened suddenly, pointed at Liu Wei's nose, and said,

"What do you call me upset, you're slandering, you're slandering me, you know." Liu Wei habitually shrugged his shoulders, didn't pay much attention to Lin Mu, chose the outer room of the suite, put his luggage away, and sat on the chair to close his eyes and recuperate!

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is still very good at behaving, the presidential suites arranged for Lin Mu and Sun Mei, and the single rooms arranged for other people, the hotel expenses alone are worth a lot of money!

…… After eating in the afternoon, Lin Mu took everyone to the music center to step on the stage. The Los Angeles Music Center is the most important music venue in Los Angeles, with a total of four venues.

Lin Mu: The name of the venue where they performed

"Dorothy Chandler Hall" is named after Dorothy Bloom Chandler, wife of Norman Chandler, publisher of the Los Angeles Times.

With 3,189 seats, this concert hall is the largest of the four!

Walking into Chandler Hall, Lin Mu habitually began to walk forward from the side of the stage slowly with his feet little by little, feeling the feeling of his feet stepping on the board!

This is what Lin Mu inadvertently discovered when Yu Zhikui performed at the beginning, and after watching it several times in a row, he couldn't help but ask Yu Zhikui!

As a result, Yu Zhikui told him that the first thing to go to any theater that he has never been to is to step on the stage and feel the stage with your feet, the first is to meditate and go through the play in your heart, and the second is to check the quality of the stage!

Yu Zhikui said to Lin Mu with a smile, in fact, the current theater does not need to worry about the quality of the stage. But when they went out to perform, there were places where they sang on the same day, so the quality of the stage was very worrisome, and even sometimes, the platform was not strong, and the actors fell directly off the stage!

Therefore, Yu Zhikui has developed this habit! However, since then, Lin Mu has also learned the same, and before each performance, he will arrive in advance, and spend about half an hour walking the entire corner of the stage!

Although it seems strange to others, Lin Mu found that doing so can indeed calm people's hearts, and it is also very helpful for the performance!

This time to Los Angeles performance, a total of two days in a row, the first day of the play is "Fenhe Bay", this play is to pay tribute to Mr. Mei Lanfang!

At that time, Mr. Mei Lanfang could be said to be the first person in Peking Opera, who went abroad to perform and brought Peking Opera to the international stage!

The play "Fenhe Bay" of that year came to the side of the American imperialists and was translated into "The Story of a Shoe".

Because "Fenhe Bay" is about Xue Rengui's surrender to the army, he didn't know that his wife Liu Yingchun gave birth to a son Xue Dingshan, and later Xue Rengui returned to his hometown with wealth and wealth, walked to Fenhe Bay, saw Xue Dingshan fighting geese, and saw that this child's archery skills were outstanding, and secretly admired.

Unexpectedly, a Menghu appeared, Xue Rengui was afraid that Menghu would hurt people, so he hurriedly sent a sleeve arrow, but accidentally injured Xue Dingshan.

Menghu carried the injured Xue Dingshan away, but Xue Rengui thought that he had killed someone, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly left!

After arriving home, the husband and wife were overjoyed, but when Xue Rengui entered the inner room, he found a man's shoe on the ground, so he suspected that Liu Yingchun was not chaste.

Liu Yingchun explained that the shoes belonged to his son, and Xue Rengui was relieved, but when he asked, he just now

It was his own son who was "killed", so the two ran to Fenhe Bay crying! When Mei Lanfang went to the United States to perform in the United States, she wanted to sing "Fenhe Bay", but how to translate it became the biggest problem.

It can't be literally translated into the place name "Where the Fen River Bends", which is too rigid! So, Mei Lanfang found Uncle Yao and asked him to translate the script and advertisement.

Yao Shulai was a cultural relics dealer with a mixed reputation during the Republic of China, who resold many domestic cultural relics to foreign countries, and was quite famous in the collection circle.

According to the plot of this play, and he has a very good understanding of the thinking mode of the American imperialists, Uncle Yao used "The Story of a Shoe" to translate this play, and as a result, it was really popular!

Even at the later celebration banquet, an American collector asked,

"Mr. Yao, Mr. Mei sang "The Story of a Shoe" The shoe is an antique, is it earlier or later than the age of your Song Jun kiln slag bucket?" Uncle Yao laughed and said,

"If someone collects that shoe to this day, of course it is an antique, and it is older than the age of the Song Jun kiln slag bucket, which is the Jingyun era of the Tang Dynasty in China, and the shoes of Xue Ne, the warp and the festival of Youzhou."

"Xue Ne is the son of Xue Rengui, and he is the first festival envoy in the BJ region in Chinese history, but it's a pity that Mr. Mei didn't bring that real shoe to your country to perform." It can be seen how attractive the name of this play was to the American imperialists at that time!

And this time, Lin Mu will also re-interpret this classic play "Fenhe Bay" with Sun Mei, and the alias of this play "The Story of a Shoe" is also indicated on the poster.

The play to be performed the next day is also a classic play, "Farewell My Concubine". I don't know if it's because of Mei Lanfang, the performance in the United States is still the best-selling repertoire of the Mei School.

Lin Mu's "Farewell My Concubine" has been performed several times in China, and the effect is very good. Lin Mu, who hooked his face, looked even more majestic, and showed the world-beating overlord very outstandingly!

…… After the rehearsal, it was already evening, and after the group finished eating, they did not go directly to the hotel, but went to the art square next to the music center to take a stroll!

This art square covers an area the size of a standard football field, and the lights shine like daylight!

Many groups and individuals engaged in art will come out to perform at this time, which is also an important reason why there are so many tourists here!

"Let's go shopping, but don't walk around, after an hour, gather at the door, pay attention to safety, don't be alone!" Lin Mu said to everyone with a serious face, although it is said that the security of the US imperialists is not good, but in the city center, this kind of prosperous place, I believe there should be no problem!

A group of young people suddenly rushed into the square in groups of three or five, feeling like they were rushing to the market, looking around!

Sun Mei followed Lin Mu's side, and Liu Wei followed behind Lin Mu with a serious face, constantly looking at the tourists around him!

"Huh? It seems to be the sound of a zither? Lin Mu listened attentively, and in the affectionate saxophone on the opposite side, he could clearly hear what was coming from not far away

"Zheng Zheng" sound! Lin Mu beckoned Sun Mei and Liu Wei to go over together, and being able to hear the sound of folk music in a foreign country also made Lin Mu feel a sense of surprise!

Sure enough, after walking more than ten meters away, they saw a young woman wearing a red dress and a red transparent veil, sitting in front of a zither with her hands flying, and a familiar music reached their ears!

Sun Mei looked at Lin Mu with a strange expression, it turned out that this girl was playing Lin Mu's new song "Dragon Fist" in the Spring Festival Gala!

The murderous atmosphere of the guzheng completely shows the domineering spirit of this song, and many tourists around stop at it, and some people take out their mobile phones to record this scene!

Mi Tong, an Internet celebrity who plays guzheng on the streets of the United States, graduated from the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, and is now studying at the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music in the United States.

Usually when she has nothing to do, she will come to the square of the music center to play the guzheng, although she is also proficient in Western instruments, but she has always felt that folk music is the pinnacle of the world.

She came here to study because she wanted to use it in Western studies. There is a mobile phone in front of her, which is live broadcasting, and it is also live on the domestic Kuaidou platform!

Her live broadcast room has now been watched more than 100,000 online, and the comments below are all like her, saying that this is to export Huaxia's musical instruments abroad and make a long face for our people!

More people said that they didn't expect "Dragon Fist" to be so good when played with a guzheng, and some people have already @ Lin Mu, hoping that he can sing the guzheng version of "Dragon Fist" once!

At the end of the song, the people around were very kind and applauded, and some people came over and threw some change into the box under the zither!

Make money by performing arts, no shame! Mi Tong squinted his eyes and nodded at every tourist who gave a tip! Suddenly, a figure walked up to Mi Tong and put a hundred-dollar bill into the box.

Such a big stroke not only made the surrounding tourists exclaim, but even Mi Tong couldn't help but look up!

After all, on weekdays, the highest reward is only 20 dollars, in fact, in the United States, the usage rate of 100 yuan bills is very low!

Mi Tong had never received such a large reward, but when she saw the face of the person who rewarded her, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim!
