While Yu Hai and the five members of the Chunhua Band were working hard to run in, the foreign delegations of the exchange meeting were also gradually arriving in Qingcheng.

As the art center of China, this very artistic city is a resort that many artists yearn for.

Therefore, most of the delegations came with a pilgrimage and learning mentality.

As soon as they landed, these people went around visiting various exhibition halls, museums, concert halls, and so on.

There is a sense of lingering.

The urban planning of Qingcheng makes the street layout, architectural landscape, and humanistic design of the whole city full of romantic and retro beauty.

The strong artistic atmosphere gives many people the feeling that in the residential buildings here, anyone who walks out of it may be a famous artist.

In an elegant teahouse on a street corner, two foreign men in deep silhouettes and suits are looking appreciatively at the carved screens on the side while whispering to each other.

"I'm really fascinated by the atmosphere of the city!"

"I've been here twice before, and each time it's a different feeling, but it's amazing!"

"I like it so much, but it's a pity that it's too difficult to get a green card here."

"Don't talk about the green card, the visa is not easy to get, damn it, I must stay until the last day this time, and I won't leave if I don't rush me."

The two sighed for a while, and suddenly one of them asked, "Hey, Giri, is there the guy who beat you before in the performance of this exchange meeting?" ”

Jiri Palmer nodded, "Yes, his name is Whale Fall." ”

"I know, he's very good-looking. But I think you lost a little bit of a way last time, how about it, do you want to get back on the field this time? ”

Jiri Palmer shook his head, "I was convinced last time, Jimmy, you also tried to play that wild bee flying, you should know the difficulty." ”

"I know, but he must have been practicing for a long time to be so skilled and so skilled, right? Just give you time ......"

"At least I can't write something like this."

"Alright! I'm suddenly looking forward to his work this time! I wonder if it's a piano piece? ”

"The last time you lost, there were still many people in the country who were not convinced, thinking that you were too careless. If this whale fall can amaze everyone again, it will be a good thing for you. ”

The general belief is that there is no shame in losing to the strong.

Because everyone is inferior to him.

Jiri Palmer was not a guest performer at this meeting, he just happened to be an audience member.

But when he learned that there was a whale fall in the first performance, he inevitably had a sense of anticipation.

In another corner of the city, Igor, a Russian singer who had competed with Whale on the singer-songwriter stage, served as a guide, leading the delegates of the Russian exchange meeting from the motherland to prepare to listen to a theater troupe.

In general, it is normal for the delegation of the exchange meeting to arrive a day or two in advance.

However, because of this exchange meeting in China, a big country in the East, many delegations from many countries came here a week earlier than before with the mentality of learning.

They hope to have a deeper understanding of the art city of Kyungsung and to gain further enlightenment.

After a group of more than ten people got out of the car, they walked along the quaint and elegant alley, while carefully looking at the special reminder specially marked by the alley.

It is written in several Chinese:

Please refrain from taking photos or videos during the performance......

While Igor led the way in front, he curiously asked the old man next to him, Artyom, a national treasure composer of Russia.

"Mr. Artyom, aren't you going to make a move in this exchange meeting?"

He didn't see the other party's name in the list of performances announced.

Artyom smiled slightly and glanced at the young man beside him: "I'm old and don't have much energy, so let's leave the opportunity to the young people!" ”

Igor then glanced at the young man beside him, young in his thirties, handsome, a singer and songwriter who had become very famous in Russia in recent years.

What made Igor even more concerned was that in Russia, many people called him Whale Fall.

The young man's name is Gorman Fedorov, and he made his debut early, but he really became known to the Chinese people after he tried to cover the "Opera 2" of Whale Fall.

Although not as amazing as the original song, his excellent singing skills and beautiful timbre are enough for him to be recognized and sought after by many people, and he has been recognized as the leader of the next generation in Russia.

Igor sighed a little: "I am very envious of Mr. Goldman's talent. ”

Gorman Fedorov did not show a smug look, but said lightly: "I heard that Mr. Igor has had contact with the whale fall?" ”

"Yes, dealt with on a TV show."

Gao Man looked curious: "What kind of person is he?" ”

"Hmm......" Igor thought for a moment, "he's not a mortal!" ”

"What do you mean?" Everyone else looked dazed.

"It's just that he is not what the human world should be."

Gao Man's face showed a disapproving look: "Mr. Igor, the Chinese people are very subtle in their speech, you have been here for so long, why are you still talking so exaggerated?" ”

"I'm not exaggerating." Igor explained: "Do you know why Huaxia fans like to call Whale Fall His Highness? ”

"Because he's as handsome as a prince?"

"No, because his singing voice is as seductive as the mermaid prince."

When Igor said this, his eyes were full of amazement, and he seemed to recall the feeling he had when he heard Whale Fall sing Opera 2 live for the first time on the singer-songwriter stage.

Unbelievable, incredible, breathtaking.

However, Goldman did not feel that way.

He admits that the first time he listened to Opera 2 sung by Whale Fall, he was indeed shocked.

However, after he was able to sing this song in its entirety through practice himself, the status of Whale Fall was not so high in his heart.

In addition, with the increase of fame, more and more people praise him, and after many people in China compare him with Whale Fall, he began to feel that maybe Whale Fall's innate conditions are indeed better than him, but his singing skills are definitely not worse than the other party, which can be made up for through hard work.

Just when he subconsciously wanted to refute Igor, Artyom, who had been listening to their chat silently, suddenly said: "Actually, you all pay too much attention to the appearance and voice of the whale fall, and ignore what is really terrifying about him. ”

Gao Man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

"Creativity." Artyom said in a serious tone, "I have followed him. Since his debut, it has only been more than two years, and he has successively announced more than 40 works. And almost every one of them has a very good popularity, and some are even very classic. It's incredible. ”

"What shocks me even more is that this young man has almost no fixed style of music, he has tried all genres, he has dabbled in both pop and classical, it is really terrifying!"

"More than 40 works in two years?" The rest of the delegation was simply stunned to hear such data.

Some unbelievers took out their mobile phones on the spot to check the website of the Music Association, and then found that many of the works they had heard of before were actually written by Whale Fall, and they couldn't help but show a look of disbelief.

"It seems that this is the first performance, and we can enjoy the new work of this genius."

Gao Man couldn't help but show a cautious look.

Although he can also compose, it is difficult for him to make two or three satisfactory songs a year, let alone one or twenty masterpieces.

At this moment, he felt a huge gap between himself and the whale fall.

Suddenly, I felt that the name of this little whale fell was a bit hot.

At the headquarters of the Music Society, at this time, the heads of all the parties of this exchange meeting gathered in a conference room, ready to draw up the program order of several performances.

"How about opening up, how about going directly to Lin Dad's symphony?"

"No, this piece is gradual, and I'm afraid I can't suppress the noise at the beginning."

"Let's go to "Brilliant March", this piece can set the mood"

"No, I think ......"

Everyone was talking about it, and Jing Xiang, who was sitting at the top, coughed, looked at the list in his hand and asked: "I don't know if you have heard the two songs of Whale Fall?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and some people shook their heads.

Of course, someone nodded and understood what he meant.

"I've heard the sample, it's very good."

"It's okay to put it on the first show."

Most of them looked hesitant.

Jing Xiang continued: "Have you noticed? There were only three folk music pieces in the premiere of this exchange meeting. ”

In fact, many people have also noticed this problem:

"It's a little little."

"Yes, there are fewer and fewer folk music masters in China!"

"In other countries, there are quite a few composers who play our folk music."

"It's a bit of a serious problem."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Jing Xiang said with a serious expression: "Folk music has always been one of the important connotations of our Chinese culture. However, in recent years, I feel that foreign countries are more enthusiastic about this part of research and study than we do. ”

Others pondered: "This is indeed a problem. ”

"If we can't even understand our own folk music, how can we teach it to outsiders?"

"The last exchange meeting was criticized by many netizens because there were too few folk music works."

"I've heard people say that folk music is dead."

"Speaking of which, there are really few folk music works that amaze me in China, and I feel as if I can't keep up with the dynasty."

Jing Xiang saw that everyone had realized the problem, and said in a deep voice: "The first performance is our cultural promotion to the outside world, so I suggest opening with folk music." ”

"Yes"

"Consent"

"Which one is the best choice?"

"Personally, I recommend putting Whale Fall's work at the beginning and end of the premiere, and I've heard a sample of his work, which is very imposing and can stand up to the scene."
