Ding Sangpeng had probably entered a particularly indifferent state. He didn't waste any time to say anything. He ate slowly at home, ate some dinner, drank tea and digested his food, then slowly changed into a Chinese tunic suit and then changed his mind into a suit. The old man seemed to be still talking while talking.

I was a little envious that Tang Qing could go to the North American premiere. After all, part of the creative intention of "Second Symphony" had to be realized in the West.

It was almost a quarter past seven when Yang Jingxing's car drove into the garage of the Grand Theater. Today it was his eldest grandson who accompanied Ding Sangpeng because his old leader, the former head of the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee, would also come to the concert. This old leader had retired for several years.

, and after exerting his spare energy, he was also admitted to a sanatorium. As a music lover, he wanted to set up a sunset red band in the sanatorium. Unfortunately, Ding Sangpeng really couldn't play a few chords.

The old minister was also a junior before Ding Sangpeng, so it was natural for him to arrive first and wait for a while. He also praised Chairman Ding for being so easy and obedient, and declared that he was also here as an audience.

Yang Jingxing seemed to have learned something after becoming the director. He asked Ding Sangpeng, the eldest son, to take care of the two old people first, and then he stepped forward to inform the arrangements. Today's concert was not a political spectacle, not to mention the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, not even the director.

No, Principal Pu Yin was unable to attend because he was abroad, so the vice principal, department head, and band leader could sit in the front row on the second floor.

Of course, the executive vice-principal is a person who has seen the world. A retired old minister will not make him fuss, but he still shows due respect and accompanies Yang Jingxing to greet him. There is no time to discuss the route or policy, the concert is about to start.

, please take your seat as soon as possible.

Although there is no political spectacle, the music scene today is not small. The good seats on the second floor are almost reserved by Puyin. It seems that representatives from all departments and departments are here. If the principal is here, we can almost hold a staff meeting, so this time

I lined up to greet Ding Sangpeng. Director Yang actually only gave free tickets to a few of his closest teachers, so he had to seize the time to express his gratitude to those who paid for their support. He also asked Peng Yiwei to come with him, but he wanted to meet Peng Yiwei's girlfriend first.

A good-looking and cheerful girl, she has been admired by the four famous names for a long time.

Of course, the alma mater is happy to see its students achieve success. A teacher from the composition department praised Peng Yiwei for being very good: "...I just performed on the same stage as Director Yang."

Peng Yiwei didn't mind: "Director Yang, take care of me."

Yang Jingxing: "Senior brother, take care of me."

Peng Yiwei also flatters others: "In the final analysis, it's about the composition."

Gong Xiaoling laughed: "Please speak louder, Director He can't hear you."

Vice-Principal He, who was reporting to Ding Sangpeng, looked back from the front with an unsmiling expression.

Yang Jingxing didn't have time to chat with everyone in detail, it was like meeting everyone one by one: "Professor Xu, thank you for your compliment."

Xu Linxi was very considerate: "Like many people, I have been waiting for this concert for a long time."

Next to Xu Linxi, Gong Shangyu, who was dressed up for the occasion, stood up and said happily: "Hello, senior brother Jingxing, hello, senior brother."

Yang Jingxing nodded and smiled: "Gong Shangyu, have you ever challenged Brother Peng's violin concerto?"

Gong Shangyu said: "I haven't had a chance yet."

Yang Jingxing suggested: "You can have a chat."

Gong Shangyu nodded: "Thank you, senior brother Jing Xing."

The head of the folk music department is not only here to congratulate, but he also has something to discuss with Director Yang, but it's too late now. How about tomorrow? Not tomorrow? We can't delay it any longer. Let's wait until the performance is over to delay Director Yang for a while.

Peng Yiwei also took Yang Jingxing to meet people. His senior brother was Yang Jingxing's senior brother. He was also a teammate who worked hard together on the basketball court, and he was also a fan of 306. He felt that this was a real distinguished guest, and Yang Jingxing was beaming and happy.

It was a great success, but he didn’t say anything substantial about treating guests to dinner or anything like that.

There are many groups of relatives and friends of the two young composers, and most of them are on the first floor, with a high degree of overlap. For example, in the group 306, there are more junior brothers and sisters, all of whom greet each other with the two composers. However,

Upon closer inspection, Peng Yiwei seems to be more popular than Director Yang. For example, although there are many juniors and juniors from the piano department, few of them are so enthusiastic about talking to Director Yang. Even Li Na didn't give face to him and didn't wave to Yang Jingxing.

Smile.

Fortunately, there were elders. He Weidong and his wife were sitting two rows apart in front of No. 306. Mother He turned around for the rare time and finally saw Yang Jingxing waving. She smiled and reminded her husband to turn around and talk to the composer from a distance.

They both said hello to each other. They were both very kind and well-dressed.

Qi Qingnuo looked back and looked up, smiling brightly at someone unknown.

There is also the little one, Lang Xinyan is jumping very lively and calling her brother. Fortunately, Jiajia's father has also reminded him that the radio has started to broadcast the precautions and the concert will start soon.

It's quite good. It seems that the attendance rate is almost 60%, which is close to a thousand listeners. This is already very rare for a young composer concert with nothing to rely on. Yang Jingxing and Peng Yiwei should really thank all parties for their strong support.

Although more than half of the audience must be from related households to support them, and although the tickets are very cheap, it can be regarded as a commercial performance after all. Thinking about the fact that in the past, professors’ new works could only be held in charity performances in schools, serious music should be making progress.

It's somewhat promising.

The radio still works, not to mention that so many of the listeners are skilled workers. The theater soon became quiet and everyone took their seats.

The ringtone was on time, and the host came on stage dressed up, but his lines and expression were exactly the same as yesterday.

Although the attendance rate was average, the applause when the curtain was drawn and the Kaipu Hai National Orchestra appeared was still very warm. Musicians love the stage, and Lu Baiyong was obviously more energetic when he appeared on stage than last night. Although he led the orchestra to perform "

"Wen Mo" is not much different.

Maybe it was because the host had done a good job before and gave each other face, so the applause after "Wen Mo" ended was a bit big and lasted.

When the host went on stage again and introduced "Stars" composed by Peng Yiwei, it was obvious that the composer was a little nervous, but his girlfriend's applause was so positive that many people on the second floor laughed.

He Peiyuan should be reassured by the applause after the end of "Stars". It was no less enthusiastic than "Wen Mo". Peng Yiwei will definitely not be embarrassed. When Lian Lixin called him up to meet the audience, he also enjoyed his own applause gracefully.

Even during the intermission that followed, the main discussion on the second floor was "Stars", and the teachers praised and congratulated the composer one after another. It was reassuring that the concert was a success, and the juniors and juniors must have been inspired.

After the bell rang for the second half, the musicians took their seats skillfully and quieted down. Gong Xiaoling suddenly said: "Now I can fully understand the mood of the professors when Yang Jingxing was defending his exam in the piano department."

They are all seniors, so everyone chuckled.

Li Yingzhen didn't want to be represented, so she almost snorted and responded: "I don't believe I can go to heaven."

Yang Jingxing quickly expressed his position: "You can't jump out of Wuzhishan."

In the midst of the artistic atmosphere, the executive vice principal also explained: "Principal Yang really doesn't want to miss today's premiere, but there is really no other way."

Ding Sangpeng turned his head slightly and seemed to be thinking of saying, "Learn as we go through life. We should be sincerely happy about good things."

Everyone agreed with Mr. Ding's state of mind, but Vice President He wanted to tell the truth: "With so much care and support, it is natural to achieve results, otherwise how can art progress?"

Well, Vice-President He was right. Director Sun of the Command Department praised Vice-President He for being clearly Antonio Saleni, which made him laugh out loud.

The curtain rose, and the sixty-four artists on the stage were arranged exactly the same as yesterday, but the costumes were unified and the overall look was more elegant. He Peiyuan was probably busy making eye contact with her parents, friends and classmates on the first floor and had no time to watch.

Second floor.

The host also started. The lines were exactly the same as yesterday, but when talking about this artistically beautiful collaboration, he separated the Puhai National Orchestra and the 306 Orchestra. It seemed that the three orchestras collaborated on "Second Symphony".

"Music", Captain Wen and Captain Qi seemed to be tied in the host's mouth. However, when the 306 Band was mentioned on stage, the reaction from the audience was a bit strong. It seems that Guo Ling's 306 pairing

The inference that this concert made a significant contribution to the box office is not entirely shameless.

In addition to the current cooperation, the host also wrote about the cooperation between the National Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic. The works and performers will be presented to the audience at the Lincoln Center early next month, plus various attributions.

After several firsts, we came to the conclusion that this will be a historic collaboration, so in addition to dedicating applause to tonight, we also wish the performers success in bringing glory to the country.

Yang Jingxing had to clap his hands vigorously to welcome Lian Lixin to his appearance again.

Lian Lixin took the stage and faced the audience. He tried to silence the audience with his artistic temperament in addition to the rehearsal content. He succeeded. Then he continued to speak: "It is an honor to conduct the premiere of "Yang Jingxing's Second Symphony" here today.

, I believe this will be an unforgettable moment in my music career. I respectfully ask everyone present to remember tonight, all listeners and musicians, if everyone continues to love classical music twenty or thirty years from now, tonight

It will be our common glory, "Yang Jingxing's Second Symphony" is dedicated to everyone!"

He spoke with great ferocity on stage, and the audience quickly crackled and exerted all their strength.

Lian Lixin took a quick look around and seemed quite satisfied, so he went up to the podium to face the orchestra to prepare its posture. The audience quickly became quiet, and it was obvious that most people did not have as rich artistic feelings as the conductor.

Looking at the history of music, "Yang Jingxing's Second Symphony" is not that long. However, in today's fast-paced era, it is rare for market-oriented composers to try to use such a 40-50 minute long symphony.

It is really thankless to use your works to test the audience's patience or your own talent.

But it was a good day, probably because Pu Yiren and his colleagues accounted for a sufficient proportion of the audience. During the more than 40 minutes of the Second Symphony, no one in the audience showed any obvious impatience, and no one left the stage.

, everyone was quite calm and even quiet from the beginning to the end. People like Lang Xinyan who started covering her ears in the third movement were an isolated phenomenon.

Even after there was only one sanxian left on the stage, not many people in the audience seemed to realize that the music was about to end, and few people adjusted their state to cheer and prepare to leave.

After the last note of the whole piece, the sanxian player and conductor continued to maintain their artistic posture in full view of the public. The principal sanxian seemed to be still feeling the aftershocks of the strings, and even Lixin seemed to be able to hear the conductor's baton trembling slightly in the air.

.

The applause started, but it was very scattered and sparse, and it was completely subdued. More people kept their previous attitude and seemed to have forgotten that there was such a thing as applause.

Lian Lixin regained his composure and turned around to face the audience, with a look of pride and pride on his face that only required some talent to show off.

The conductor was the biggest, and the audience's applause instantly became enthusiastic, and the orchestra also began to knock on the music stand. Even Ding Sangpeng had to give face, raised his withered hands and clapped his fingers slightly apart in a symmetrical manner on his chest, although he couldn't make any sound.

But he seems to have a very upright attitude.

His own turn had such a good effect that Lian Lixin, who was on the podium, couldn't help but hold his head high and chest up even more. He almost seemed to be looking down on the world. He slightly left his body with his right hand and raised the baton like a sword.

The applause became more enthusiastic, and everyone felt like they had stepped on the accelerator. After all, it was over, and those who didn't like it were relieved. Lang Xinyan was clapping in different ways and looking back upstairs.

The first ones to stand up in the audience were several juniors and junior girls from the piano department on the first floor. They seemed to have moved neatly after the invitation, and they all looked back. Maybe it was out of gratitude to the Piano Art Center for creating for them the opportunity to go to Europe.

Exchange learning opportunities.

If it were a performance of the principal's work, everyone would definitely stand up and applaud. Director Yang's influence is still too small. People in the audience stood up sporadically. Some who stood up hesitated to observe. After all,

Even 306 didn’t give this big face.

After standing up a little on the first floor, someone on the second floor also gave me face. It was unknown who took the lead starting from the back. By the time Yang Jingxing helped Ding Sangpeng stand up, he had already stood up slightly.

Ding Sangpeng had no choice but to accompany him. Vice President He and Professor Li both left their chairs, and He Hongchui arrived last.

The atmosphere on the second floor was formed first, and those on the first floor caught up. Those who stood up did not have to hesitate anymore, and they were all in one piece. However, there are still some people who are forced by the general situation, such as 306

He only stood up from the stage after being blocked from view by the front. He Weidong and his wife didn't seem to be used to this hypocrisy. It was funny that He Weidong turned around after standing up.
