Chapter 410 New Dream List, Heading to Milan (Ask for Subscription!)
The curtain opened, and the members of the orchestra came out one by one, sitting on the left, middle and right floors according to the three major parts of strings, wind and percussion, Xia Yu saw Maria in a black dress.
She sat in the deputy principal position of the first violin group, and when she looked around, she happened to see Xia Yu, and her expression was very surprised.
Xia Yu smiled and beckoned to her.
Ji Yang beside him rolled his eyes helplessly, he shouldn't have come out with Xia Yu.
Maria smiled back, and at that moment, the conductor Salvana, the soul of the orchestra, came out, and the audience that came to the concert was full of his fans, all applauding his arrival.
Sure enough, the orchestra is not as popular as the conductor, unless it is a well-known player, then the whole orchestra is his accompaniment.
If he could, Xia Yu wanted to try this feeling.
Didn't he have a list of a hundred dreams in his life before, and he could add one to himself and hold a cello recital for 1,000 people.
Don't look at the star's concert at every turn, the scale of the 1,000-person concert is already very large, like today, they only have more than 700 people.
The soothing sound of music sounded, pulling Xia Yu's thoughts back, and he and Ji Yang both began to seriously appreciate the beauty of the symphony.
Music knows no borders, whether it is Chinese or Western, classical music is so fascinating.
Immersed in this beauty, time flies, and before I know it, I have come to the end of the concert.
The encore song of the Sanremo Orchestra this time is the Italian folk song "Cable Car", which is quite cheerful and has received thunderous applause from everyone.
The orchestra stood up and bowed to all the audience to thank the audience, and the curtain came to an end for today's concert.
"Shall we go back to the hotel?"
"What's the hurry, if you don't drive, you have to enjoy the nightlife here, let's go backstage to find Maria and have a drink at the bar together." ”
Xia Yu pulled Ji Yang, who wanted to go back to lie down.
"No, I don't want to be a light cannon!"
Ji Yang waved his hand and refused.
"Chatting between friends, drinking, and not jumping, I'll find you a female companion later. ”
Xia Yu took Ji Yang to the backstage of the concert hall and found Maria, who had just changed her clothes.
"Maria, today's show is great, congratulations!"
"Thank you Xia Yuke, I was so surprised by your arrival. ”
Maria really didn't expect to see Xia Yu at the show, and how did they get into the backstage?
In the movie, there are not too many backstage scenes in the musical, and in reality, only a few small skills are needed.
"I'm being abrupt, so can I ask the beautiful Miss Maria a drink as an atonement?"
"Xia Yuke, you are so interesting, I don't even know how to refuse you. ”
If you can't refuse, then you don't need to refuse.
Maria called her friend in the orchestra, Alyssa, the associate viola, and the four of them got into the hotel car and went to a well-known loft bar.
It's a sake bar that only serves drinks, simple meals, and a place to chat.
Xia Yu and the three of them talked about music freely, and Ji Yang interjected some life from time to time, and everyone chatted happily.
The life of a rich person is so free, not only the friends you just met, even if you are a stranger, as long as you have a story, I have wine.
"Maria, you know, my piano is only for practice, I have been looking for the piano that belongs to me in my destiny, for which I came to Europe from China, do you have any good suggestions?"
Chatting and chatting, Xia Yu talked about the cello.
Every country in Europe is unfamiliar to him, buying a car or something, music, and down to the cello, is a very small circle.
At this time, if someone brings a belt, Xia Yu can save a lot of effort.
Of course, he can also push the matter to the Amex Concierge, and pay the intermediary fee directly when the time comes, but this is the last option.
Just like a swordsman who finally found the sword that belonged to him after a lot of hardship, Xia Yu didn't mind spending more energy to find the piano that belonged to him.
"Then you're asking the right person, my hometown is Clemona, the real capital of stringed instruments, where Stradivari and Guarneri made their origins more than two hundred and fifty years ago. ”
Maria proudly introduced.
Her family doesn't make a violin, but she has a relative who is a well-known master luthier, and the violin she plays is made by this relative.
"That's great, thank you Maria!"
Xia Yu raised his glass and thanked him.
"What is your budget? A cello is 2.5 times more expensive than a violin from the same master because it uses more materials. ”
Maria clinked a glass with him and asked.
"I just want to find the most suitable one, the price is not a problem, if I have to say a number, 500,000 euros to 000,000 euros I can accept. ”
Hearing Xia Yu's words, Maria and her friends were stunned.
You must know that a master-level cello is only about 00,000 euros, and 500,000 yuan can buy a very expensive antique piano.
"I, how can I say it, Xia Yuke, you Huaxia people are too rich. ”
"No, no, no, we are only some of us who have become rich first, and there is still a long way to go to achieve national prosperity. ”
Xia Yu said modestly.
He can't give foreigners the wrong impression that China is full of local tyrants.
"That's pretty good, you can't afford to buy a good antique piano. ”
"Oh, do you have any recommendations?"
Xia Yu also likes antiques, but the water in this industry is very deep, and he doesn't want to be killed, so his attitude towards antiques has always been very cautious.
But unlike most antiques that only have the value of viewing and playing, the antique piano also has a use value, under his professional music Buff, you can know whether the piano is good or not, whether it is worth the asking price, and there is no possibility of counterfeiting.
"Yes, yes, our orchestra has to perform in Vienna for two days..."
"I'm not in a hurry, we're going to play all the way to Italy in the past two days, just contact me when you return home." ”
Xia Yu said and left his phone number.
"Okay, let's drink!"
The four of them continued to drink and did not break up until half past ten in the evening.
After a night of silence, the next morning they got up and played around Vienna again, until it was close to evening, when they arrived at the train station again with large bags and small bags.
This time, they were going to take the overnight European train to Milan, Italy, to watch a Serie A match and make two new clothes.
When you come to a fashion capital like Milan, how can you not make new clothes?
Xia Yu thought of a movie he watched last year, in which the protagonist made two sets of tactical suits in Rome, I don't know if Milan can do it?
Before checking in and entering the station, Ji Yang caught a glimpse of a shop selling souvenirs and souvenirs on the corner of the street.
"Lao Xia, you're leaving Odili, do you want to buy some souvenirs?"
"I want souvenirs, but I'm afraid I can't take them back. ”
Xia Yu shook his head and said.
Chocolate, Swarovski, and Odili are famous for a lot of things, but he wants a handful of Glock more, but it's not legal, he can only think about it, after all, it's not illegal to think about it.
"Let's go, take a look, I see that there is still a postcard over there, I have to write one for Linlin. ”
Sister Control Lao Ji pulled Xia Yu into the souvenir shop.
Xia Yu picked out two boxes of Mozart chocolate balls, this kind of weather is not afraid that the chocolate will melt, Ji Yang directly took a box.
Hallstatt bath salts are also good, grab two cans and go to the checkout together.
After thinking about the postcard, Xia Yu thought about it and took two of them, all of which were full, but one of the sending addresses was written in Huaxia Magic Capital, and the other was Maple Leaf Country Wenzhou.
Ji Yang was slow, Xia Yu finished writing two postcards, he only wrote half of them, Xia Yu could only go outside alone and stuff the postcards into the mailbox.
But just then, he found that next to the store was a gallery.
Buy two paintings back?
Jingruishang's riverside house is also going to be renovated, and it should be good to hang two oil paintings as decoration.
You don't need to pick too expensive, you just need the right one.
Xia Yu thought so and walked into this gallery, the person who looked at the store was a local middle-aged woman, who should be the proprietress of the shop, and she didn't take the initiative to introduce the business, and waited until Xia Yu asked before she stepped forward to introduce some information.
"This painting was painted by a student at the Vienna Academy of Arts in the last century, because it was only signed with the name of the school, and we don't know his exact identity. ”
After listening to the introduction of the proprietress, Xia Yu thought to himself that it would be good if it was painted by an unsuccessful student of the Vienna Academy of Arts, after all, among the all-stars in the ghost animal area of the beep station, he admired this unsuccessful student the most, and he didn't necessarily remember the coin throwing, but he definitely remembered this, and he voted two at a time.
"Then this one, and those two, wrap them up for me together. ”
Xia Yu didn't want figure paintings, all he wanted were landscape paintings, and the paintings were all landscapes of Vienna.
The price is not too expensive, and the three paintings together are only 500 euros, which is also very commemorative.
When I walked out of the gallery with the painting, I saw Ji Yang looking around next to the mailbox looking for someone.
"Hey, I'm here!"
"Lao Xia, why did you go there?"
Ji Yang asked when he saw Xia Yu coming over.
"I saw that the oil paintings were good, so I bought a few of them, do you want to buy them?"
"Don't, my house is not suitable for hanging oil paintings, let's hurry up and check in the ticket!"
The oil painting and the Chinese style of Jiujiantang really don't match, Xia Yu didn't persuade much, and the two checked in together.
It didn't take long for the train to arrive on the platform, and they got on the train and found their own double berth.
The conditions are still very good, but I don't know how to deal with the domestic bullet train sleeper, after all, Xia Yu has never sat in a domestic sleeper.
When you return to China, you can find a chance to experience it, after all, there are many great rivers and mountains and magnificent scenery in China.
The last time Xia Yu went out for a self-driving trip with his senior sister, he only toured around Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he couldn't get out of the free shipping area, which has to be said to be a pity.
