Yang Jingxing's plan this morning was to go to Puhai Philharmonic and Grand Theater Art Center for a walk. As soon as he met Lian Lixin, he received a surprised call from Lu Kaiping, asking Director Yang to go back to school immediately to discuss important matters. Director Lu said

It was understandable that I didn’t want to elaborate on the phone at first, because it was related to the reputation of Puyin University, especially the piano department. The world-famous Russian prodigy Yevgeny Urbansky Smirnov wanted to sign up again.

, and this time I submitted my application directly to Professor Wei.

According to the information of Puyin Piano Art Center, taking into account talent, technology, and fame factors, Yevgeny will definitely be ranked among the top three in the world among seed players under the age of 18. Yevgeny has various legends of genius, such as no

Analyzing polyphonic works through humming at the age of one is much more magical than Yang Jingxing's rumor that he used "Friendship Variations" to announce to the world piano world "I came and I conquered" at the age of 22. But Yevgeny's resume is real.

At the age of five, he studied under the famous piano professor Zakharov at the Moscow Conservatory. At the age of nine, he held a recital that wowed the audience. At the age of twelve, he performed Prokofiev's piano concerto with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, which shocked the world. Today

Yevgeny, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, still worked hard on his piano skills and limited his concerts to less than ten concerts per year. This caused major orchestras to scramble to make reservations for a few years later, but it was not for box office or publicity, but for conducting.

Artists and musicians all want to see the genius.

In fact, Yevgeny and Pu Yin have nothing to do with each other. Mao Tianchi, the first pianist who was born and raised in China and went to the world, is friends with Zakharov, the teacher of the child prodigy. Mao Tianchi and Pu Yin originally had no connection, but were friends with Professor Wei

We have a relatively good personal relationship. In 2007, Mao Tianchi came to Puyin at the invitation of Professor Wei to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Puyin. Perhaps it was the trip to the school anniversary that made Mao Tianchi more enthusiastic about the development of the music industry in the motherland.

Although he is no longer very active as a pianist, he has still shown considerable enthusiasm in the past two years and has supported Yang Jingxing several times.

Two or three months ago, Professor Avant-Garde revealed that Yevgeny planned to come to Puyin to study. The department was quite surprised.

It seems that tradition can also make their teachers and students make the decision to give up the fame and fortune that is easily available and focus on challenging the peak of art. Although Pu Yin himself does not talk about it much, the peak of piano art today should be in the academy.

Fortunately, the department did not let the uncertain news spread widely, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing, because until the registration deadline, the piano department received a total of two applications from foreign students, one is Nanaka Terui from Japan, and the other is a pure

They were the children of Malaysian diplomats in China who joined in the fun. Professor Wei seemed to have forgotten the possibility of having foreign seed players come to Puyin to study, which could become a major landmark event, and no one else mentioned it again.

Thinking about it, there is no need for a genius like Yevgeny to prepare for any school exams. What worries him should be to accept the offer from a top university. Is it even necessary to study in a so-called university? Even if Yevgeny really wants to

Leave the teacher you have been with for more than ten years to pursue something new. A school like Curtis, which has artistic tentacles all over the world and is the most qualified to favor geniuses, must have established a deep friendship with prodigies long ago and can provide high-quality art for geniuses.

There is no need to compare the environment with anyone else. Puyin is indeed still far behind.

According to Puyin regulations, Yevgeny has already missed the registration time, but after all, it is a special situation for special talents. Lu Kaiping thought it would be better to hold a meeting to discuss it. Although it is still difficult to determine whether Yevgeny is sincere, but the school

, that is, to be responsible for art and students...

The Piano Art Center is not involved in the admissions process at all, and Yang Jingxing has no suggestions. If there is a decision-making center in the department, it will follow the arrangements.

Lu Kaiping stood high and saw far away. He first apologized to the company commander on the phone and then said to Director Yang, but he knew how fierce the competition between Tsinghua University and Peking University was for the top scorer in the college entrance examination in each province. In comparison, Yevgeny was the top scorer in piano in Russia.

There is absolutely no water in it, and Director Yang himself has always been fond of talents...

Yang Jingxing responded wisely: "I understand what you mean. I'll ask Professor Wei first to learn more about the situation."

Lu Kaiping repeatedly said, if Yevgeny is really sincere, it would be more appropriate to be included under Professor Wei. After all, Professor Wei has the most Russian academic ancestry. Professor Li should train Shang Haokun carefully. This seedling will definitely not be snatched up by famous international schools.

Yes, Shang Haokun's talent is no worse than that of Yevgeny. In the future, those who can truly represent Puyin on the international stage and become a top-notch performer must have their roots in Puyin.

Lian Lixin, who had been waiting next to the composer for a long time, was not annoyed. He was actually a little excited: "A good thing, a good thing!"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "You also appreciate Yevgeny?"

"It's hard to talk about." Lian Lixin said more seriously: "But in general, it is a good phenomenon. We can grasp it with both hands, otherwise it will be ugly if we only have an audience and cannot control the market..."

The Puhai Grand Theater Art Center has just reached an agreement with Lin Aile, and the orchestra will come to Puhai to hold a concert in May. This is the Berlin Philharmonic’s second performance in China after 30 years. To put it bluntly, art

The price offered by the center to the Berlin Philharmonic was more than two million. Including publicity and other expenses, the cost of a concert was around four million. What is even more enviable is the reaction of Puhai music fans. The news has just been released.

People have become star-struck fans all over the place. The concert will definitely be sold out, and we don’t know how many seats will be added.

The conductor also lamented the lack of music education, worried about the socialist successors who could not enjoy the joy of art, and even thought about housing prices...

After all, Yang Jingxing came to pay homage to his early years, so he wanted to talk about some happy things. The report card submitted by Puhai Philharmonic Orchestra in the past year was also very gratifying. It can be said that it is growing at a high speed, which shows that art and music do not have to rely entirely on schools.

Education, besides, music tuition and training courses now make a lot of money, which is rising much faster than housing prices.

Lian Lixin is disgusted with looking at money again. Speaking of the decision announced a few days ago by Hilary Cole, one of the most profitable classical musicians today, to suspend commercial recording of commercial performances for at least a year, even the management company and record company also expressed strong opinions.

Supporting performers to settle down is the attitude towards pursuing art.

Yang Jingxing explained that he and Hilary had not yet become friends or familiar with each other. He would not notify him if he took a break. He did not think that he was a great inspiration to the violinist. Hilary Cole himself had always been there.

Seeking a breakthrough may have made her feel a little bit of what she needed at that time...

After bidding farewell to Lian Lixin and arriving at the NCPA Art Center, Yang Jingxing had to explain to President Wu face to face in addition to saying goodbye to his early years. The NCPA originally wanted the Berlin Philharmonic to include "Yang Jingxing's Symphony No. 1" in the program list for China.

Yes, it would have been better if it was the "Second Symphony", but Yang Jingxing raised an objection out of nowhere.

There is no need for the composer to spend too much time talking. Does the CEO know what you think? Of course, he thought the composer’s idea was reasonable and that’s why he revised his original plan. Moreover, President Wu also expressed his disapproval of the composer’s idea of ​​treating cultural exchanges as a commodity transaction.

I'm a little interested, so let's talk more if I have time today. The conversation was long and far away, so Director Yang became more and more inflated, and even President Wu didn't even give him the honor to treat him to lunch.

He Peiyuan's tone when she answered her boyfriend's phone call was melancholy, because her birthday was forgotten, at least for four hours, hum...

Professor Wei, behind closed doors, talked to Director Yang about Yevgeny. Director Yang got straight to the point and questioned Yevgeny: "This approach is not respectful enough to you. I think respecting teachers is the minimum no matter what you study, whether you are a genius or not. This

There should be no cultural differences.”

Professor Wei is very generous. This is relieved when you look at Yevgeny’s birth and experience. He was born into a very ordinary and even poor family after the collapse of the Soviet Union. For so many years, he only had Zakharov as his teacher. For Yevgeny, he was very generous.

In his later years, his teacher was even closer than his family. In his later years, Zakharov devoted all his energy and enthusiasm to Yevgeny, just to cultivate an unprecedented and transcendent performer. Now that the teacher is no longer good, students

He must be reluctant to leave the teacher, and must be in a low mood. This can also be seen as cherishing the relationship between teachers and students. Although there is no direct contact with him, Professor Wei believes to some extent that choosing Puyin is a careful choice made by Yevgeny and the teacher together.

, they should also have a full understanding of Puyin, and no one has time to play around.

Yang Jingxing was enlightened: "If you do this, you will have to work hard. Professor Li has worried about me a lot. It is true that teachers do much more homework than students."

"It doesn't have to be me." Professor Wei shook his head, "If it really comes, we will definitely carefully study which professor is most suitable to lead the department. I want to promote this matter, firstly because of Mr. Mao's entrustment, and mainly because of Yevgeny

He is a rare genius. I think having someone like him in school can also enhance the vitality of students. We have long since stopped letting everyone follow Director Yang as a role model. Students all regard you as their idol but they just refuse to learn from you."

Yang Jingxing also laughed along: "I haven't been able to be a good role model... It would be best for you to come and take care of Yevgeny."

"That doesn't count even if you say it." Professor Wei laughed and said with emotion: "Soviet experts of Zakharov's generation, as well as many artists and musicians, have also made considerable contributions to the music and art of our country..."

Another round of chatting, during which we briefly discussed work, but Director Yang couldn't do much to help. He could only cooperate with the department's work arrangements. However, Yang Jingxing was very curious and wanted to see the genius when he came to take the exam.

The previous side.

Professor Wei was happy to help with the arrangements, and asked Director Yang if he was going back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year?

Having already come to school, it seemed a bit of a loss to only sit with Professor Wei for more than ten minutes. Yang Jingxing went to Li Yingzhen to find trouble. It was unreasonable that a retired and re-employed expert was actually watching silent cartoons on the computer during working hours. What a shame.

To discourage students from applying for Puyin.

But Li Yingzhen has little interest in Yevgeny now. In such a big school, there is no more, no more, no more. Now that she is a grandma, she has no time to worry about that. She can’t compete with Yiyi’s mother. In fact, it’s not a big deal.

The contradiction is that the mother wants her daughter to learn more, so she wants to hire any kind of tutor, and then she wants to renovate the empty house to give her daughter a more spacious environment. As an educator, the grandmother is firmly opposed to mindless learning.

Such useless things are a waste of children's time and energy, and they also contaminate and confuse the children's natural talents. Speaking of it, Li Yingzhen regretted scolding students too much in the past. They were all teenagers.

How cute, why do you have to hit and scold?!

Yang Jingxing lamented that he was the last unlucky one, and successfully activated the teacher's instinct to scold. However, after Li Yingzhen finished scolding, she thought of work matters. Chen Qunguan is planning to return to China to visit relatives for the New Year this year, which is quite rare, and he also said that the older he gets, the more homesick he becomes.

I also want to make more contributions to my alma mater.

Director Yang started to flatter the teacher again. Although Chen Qunguan was not a world-class performer, he could still afford to be famous. Moreover, his performance career had not declined, and he was able to spare a considerable amount of time at this time.

Only Professor Li's students can have this kind of consciousness and devote themselves to education.

Many teachers at Puyin are known as famous musicians, and many of them have won various awards. However, apart from the two teachers from the vocal music department, there are only two teachers from the performance department who have truly achieved commercial success in the international music scene.

If Chen Qunguan can really return to his alma mater and become a full-time teacher, then he will be the first world-class performer teacher in Puyin Instrumental Music major. And having a full-time teacher who is practicing on the front line while devoting himself to teaching, undergraduate students can learn from him

It will definitely be better than the lively one-week master class every year.

However, Li Yingzhen told Yang Jingxing not to be in a hurry to be happy, let alone to persuade and flatter him, but to wait until Chen Qunguan made up his mind before expressing his welcome. This decision is not so easy to make. Based on the teacher's understanding of the students, Chen Qunguan was really willing to be Yang Jingxing's job.

You are a guide, but you are not necessarily willing to be a subordinate of your senior brother. After all, not all famous performers are as shameless as you, Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing still wanted to wait for his senior brother to have a banquet when he returned to China, but he had to confirm the time early.

Li Yingzhen has someone who has confirmed the time. Yu Xinting's parents flew to New York on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month and returned on the fifth of the first lunar month. They said they would bring some Sichuan specialties to the teacher when they went, and they would bring gifts to everyone when they came back.

However, what Li Yingzhen got was not first-hand information. Yu Xinting actually wanted Zhang Chujia to help deliver the things. Zhang Chujia was of course a big talker.

An Xin likened Xin Ting to be much busier. She had to give a solo performance in Innsbruck on the first day of the first lunar month. She must be too busy to think about the New Year.

As for the Chinese Lunar New Year Concert in New Ireland, Li Yingzhen actually wants to listen to it, because it will be the first time that Yang Jingxing's symphony and the late famous composer's most famous works appear on the program list of a top orchestra at the same time.

, although some teachers at the school analyzed that Niuai’s choice of "Dvořák Symphony No. 8" seems a bit unreasonable, but they cannot be blamed too much. After all, they are also facing the audience, and artistic works also need time to add value. On the other hand,

I think this kind of comparison is actually a good thing. Besides, if you really want to share the stage with the works of Bruckner, Mahler or even Beethoven and Mozart, what's the point of saying something bad about not being consistent? The last premiere has already aroused many people's concerns.

Dissatisfied.
