Chapter 159: Sense of Crisis(1/2)
A new week begins on April 18th. Yang Jingxing has a busy schedule this week. He has to attend a seminar in Puhai City commemorating Ding Sangpeng's concert, and he has to receive a speech about Pu Yin from a Polish pianist who should be said to be the top classical school today.
First visit and concert. In addition, Puhai Spring Music Festival is also in full swing. Although Yang Jingxing is not specifically responsible for the music festival, the original May Day Music Festival has now been renamed "Student Music Festival" and is included in Puhai Spring as
Pu Yin is still mainly responsible during and after the festival. Director Yang, as a member of the art committee, should show his face even if it is just in name.
On the other hand, as the director of the marketing department of Hongxing, I have to pay attention to the fact that the company's top priority in the second half of the year is Yu Tianhao's debut. Maybe it's because the situation is actually better, but now Hongxing seems to have a way to do it without having to work hard.
The illusion of making money with great performance and huge bonuses is terrible, so the company solemnly raised a sense of crisis. It is said that the newly appointed human resources director also proposed a major change in performance appraisal standards.
Compared with Hongxing's nourishment, Eyang is really miserable. The little cash balance on the account will definitely not be able to cover the box office accounts, and wages may not be paid in another two months. Fortunately, Chenglu came to save lives at the critical moment, although
The money has not been received yet, but it is on its way. Mr. Yang has to take charge of rewarding the great contributors.
In addition to preparing for the release and promotion of "A Fly in the Ointment", Ayang was also assigned by China Film to coordinate the filming of small and medium-sized theaters in the south. What he can do is relatively limited, but it happens to train an immature team. Mr. Yang should also accompany Wu Mingyang to catch up.
Wu Mingyang knows the industry very well, and there are many ways to improve film arrangement. The most effective one is of course spending money. The distribution company can choose to pay for a few more shows, and the theater chain will be happy... But Ayang has no money!
Xu An's new album is scheduled to be released on the 24th, and he still wants to hold activities, and has also invited the producer. No matter how popular "Easy" is, it will not pose a threat to Xu An. There is no competition at all. In fact, the two sides can still do it.
Let’s talk about You Singing with Me. But Yang Jingxing really can’t go to Pingjing. Li Diya’s father is celebrating his 60th birthday on Sunday.
Although the relationship between the two families is very good, in the past, it was only the Fan Yali sisters who cared about each other's birthdays. Most of the time, they only made phone calls. Even grandma's birthday party was only once on June 6. This time, it was Li Diya's mother who took the initiative.
I want to help my husband celebrate, because it’s not easy to raise children after so many years. Women have no abilities and the family mainly relies on men...
Of course, He Peiyuan supports her aunt. Although her uncle is sometimes annoying, in those few years, his wife has provided real financial support to her family. He is already very graceful without turning his back and denying anyone. He Peiyuan is more
What I will never forget is that when my father had surgery, my aunt’s family had just bought a house, so they put the renovations on hold and collected 200,000 yuan to send it as a gift without having to pay it back. Even so, my aunt still blamed herself for being too little.
However, He Peiyuan didn't want Yang Jingxing to join in the fun at home. It was all because of his troubles that he contacted some beauty salon, causing the Fan Yali sisters to feel a lot of sadness after being waited on for a day, which made the aunt think that her husband had never enjoyed anything in his life.
...Yang Jingxing decided to apologize, and also wanted to put his girlfriend's parents' birthday on the agenda, even though he only called his parents. He Peiyuan gloated and laughed, if someone was more handsome, maybe
I caught up last year.
After seven o'clock on Wednesday morning, when Yang Jingxing was arguing with his girlfriend about whether it would rain today and deciding how to dress to meet a top pianist, his phone rang. When he took it to look at it, the number showed 001215...the last seven digits,
It should be a landline phone.
He Peiyuan took a look at it, but seemed not to understand: "Scam?"
Yang Jingxing’s number was Jiuchun’s. It also cost money to answer international calls while roaming in Puhai. Moreover, he had made so many calls some time ago, so the call charges were very tight. However, after hesitating for a while, he decided to do something wrong: “Don’t say anything.
See what he says."
The phone was pressed to answer, and two seconds later, a man's voice came from the other side: "Hello, this is Egg."
Yang Jingxing replied: "Mr. Rousseau..."
The person on the other end of the phone immediately shouted: "Incredible, this is really incredible, an amazing discovery..."
At Yang Er's premiere last year, didn't Yang Jingxing make a big statement about "Resurrection Rhythm Sonata" by Curtis that it was Fanny Mendelssohn's work? At that time, Curtis' teachers and students were so excited that they almost beat him up.
Perhaps because I didn’t do anything at the time, I became more and more angry after thinking about it, so a piano girl named Prima launched an investigation...
Yes, Yang Jingxing still has the impression that he received an email from this student two months ago. At that time, he replied with a "left and right harvest" that wanted to show his knowledge. The other party may not have understood it or the code was garbled, and then there was nothing.
Contact me again. As for the emails from the past two days, Yang Jingxing hasn’t had time to read them yet.
Rousseau seemed to be involved, explaining in detail that Prima, who made him proud, first found the famous Mendelssohn researcher Dr.
The descendants of the couple developed a friendship... Guess what happened? They found the manuscript of "Resurrection Sonata" from Fanny's belongings, just the day before yesterday!
Two pages of the manuscript were missing, but it was proved beyond any doubt. Although experts needed to verify it, anyone who was not blind could tell that the handwriting was definitely Fanny's. And then, more importantly, they met Fanny and her friends again.
Further evidence was found in the letters…
Although the tone of President Rousseau's performance was very similar, the two of them were not familiar with each other. Who knows if it was a trap. Yang Jingxing just said "uh-huh". At most, he affirmed the students' and scholars' truth-seeking attitude but no longer said anything about it.
I express my opinion in the conclusion, and I have no intention of participating in the subsequent research, because guessing is something everyone can do, and practical actions are valuable.
Americans are very good at taking practical actions. With such an astonishing and huge discovery, not only concert records, but also documentaries have to be made, and future generations also intend to auction manuscripts...
The other end of the phone was chattering endlessly, and Yang Jingxing was unknowingly being put on a formal suit by his girlfriend. He didn't want to talk to this doctor anymore: "I would, but it's early morning here..."
Yes, yes, of course Rousseau knew, so he waited in the office with his doctor and students until now. The early morning in Puhai must be very beautiful, and he loved the sunrise in Cincinnati...
Hanging on her boyfriend's back to confirm that the call has been hung up, He Peiyuan was very interested: "Don't tell me, I'll guess."
Yang Jingxing picked up the girl and princess with his backhand: "The reward last night was not enough?"
"The clothes are messed up." He Peiyuan said seriously: "Sonata, Mendelssohn, right?"
Compared with the girl's high demands, Yang Jingxing's reward was too good: "Twice!"
No! Who is Fanny? Chinese?
Seriously speaking, He Peiyuan thinks that although this discovery is not earth-shattering, it is not as boring as her boyfriend said. What else do you tell people when you are bored? You are just talking about boring things with people over there?
Yang Jingxing didn't even know whether Prima was a boy or a girl. Even if it was a girl's name, there were so many girls swarming in at that time that there was no time to remember them one by one. The only ones who had an impression were the Chinese girls, who reported it at that time.
He Peiyuan doesn't want to pull her pigtails, but she is unwilling to accept that her red line has been drawn for several days but no one has stepped on it. She has no sense of existence. She prays that it will show up tonight.
After sending his girlfriend to work, Yang Jingxing rushed to school. On the way, the phone call came again. The girl's tone was simply terrifying: "Tiantian said that Mendelssohn and his sister... have that."
"That, that." Consultant Yang was so stern: "Get ready for your concert!"
Pu Yin’s welcoming ceremony for the Polish pianist Manast, who is over fifty years old, was quite grand. After all, he belongs to the first echelon of the most powerful, accomplished and influential pianists in the world. If he had to rank, Manast
There is no dispute about being placed in the top ten or even the top five. Qin Mengli, who is better at playing the piano, is not safe. After all, his position will take time to achieve.
Although the old man is a big guy, his good reputation in the industry should not be exaggerated. He is not only kind but also cute. As soon as he held Yang Jingxing's hand, he looked mysterious: "I have prepared a gift for you!"
Everyone else heard it and shared in the surprise.
Manast couldn't wait any longer and said that the gift should come before the conversation. He needed a piano. Since it was a gift for Director Yang, the distinguished guest was surrounded by a group of people and went to the expert classroom of Yang Jingxing. He could handle the piano even though the class had not started yet.
Always maintained.
He felt at home. After sitting on the piano bench, the pianist thanked everyone. The gift became for everyone. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand.
All it takes is half a motivation. The director of the exchange office of the school, the director of the piano department, the professors, the teachers, and the teachers of the piano arts center who are sitting at the station should be able to hear some music. Some people are more happy, and some are more surprised.
.
It took Manaster seven minutes to complete the "Friendship Variations". It was a gift. He played it very seriously and devotedly, even enjoying himself and being intoxicated. Of course, he also played it very well. He used fifty years of skill to complete the work.
After starting from the motive, various new and old ones, light and dark, fast and slow, blunt and sharp, have been continuously and step by step. The combination of logical or unimaginable difficult performance skills has been completed smoothly and very quickly.
It takes into account the musicality of the song well.
In last year's piano master class, the world-famous piano educator Solin vowed that there would be no second pianist in twenty years who could be both spiritual and physical, and he didn't hope there would be, because this piece was "a tribute to the art of piano."
A kind of holy contempt." If he were here today, he would definitely be very embarrassed about his shortcomings.
Puyin people present, seeing that such an international friend who is already on the road to becoming a great pianist who will go down in history is willing to present a little-known piece to such an extent, watching the performer
After playing, he closed his eyes and panted intoxicatedly, regardless of the scattered gray hair on his back. Everyone was really solemn and moved. They could only express their respect with warm applause, and it was done in the same way as an audience. There was no difference between peers.
of politeness.
The performer only indulged himself for a short while before opening his eyes and thanking you: "Thank you... I like this piece of music so much that the pianist can't help himself. Like love, people are willing to give everything for that short-lived excitement."
The old man was quite romantic. Puyinren quickly relaxed and laughed and clapped his hands again.
Manast asked the composer: "What do you think?"
"Thank you." Yang Jingxing said sincerely, "Thank you Mr. Manast for the friendship you brought to Puhai Conservatory of Music. It is warm, firm and full. Thank you again for coming."
Yes, Director Yang is right, everyone in Puyin should encourage him.
"I must say it is not easy, but it makes people happy." Manast raised his head slightly and seemed a little proud: "You must obey, but you need to resist; you must be brave, but you need to be cautious; you must be strict, but you need to be cautious.
It requires imagination; you have to be highly skilled, but it requires release."
People in Puyin are not surprised by this kind of vain showoff in different cultures, so please agree.
Manast stood up and said bluntly: "Now, I want your friendship, please."
It turns out that he is not a person who doesn't ask for anything in return. The Puyin people's smiles suddenly disappeared. Yang Jingxing pretended to be relaxed and casual: "Chinese people have a very emotional word, fellow villagers, which means people who come to the same place.
This word is related to language, habits, culture, and emotions. I will play a song by Mr. Manast’s countryman Szymanlovsky..."
"No, no..." Manast ignored any nostalgia: "Friendship!"
After all, Yang Jingxing is the director of Puyin. No matter how everyone treats him, but he talks so much now, you, an outsider, will be like NONO, and even Puyin people look a little ugly.
Zhang Chujia promptly smiled at the caucasian woman in her twenties who was sitting next to him as Manast's assistant and student: "Please allow me to explain that Mr. Yang only plays Friendship once every October in the academy's piano master class.
Variations.”
The white woman smiled sweetly: "I think friendship means you and me. Mr. Manast hopes that Mr. Yang Jingxing can make an exception for today."
"Of course, please take a seat." Yang Jingxing sat down first, and then said to the master a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Manast just said that it is like love. You know that at my age, I will be more passionate about love."
Others were fine, but Zhang Chujia had to use her expression to vent.
Yang Jingxing began to play the same piece of music. Puyinren listened as calmly as before. Manast's role also changed very quickly, from narcissism to friendship.
The song ended, but no one applauded. The Puyin people should have planned to let the guests take the lead, but the guests did not go first. Manas still sat in the artistic posture with his elbows resting on his knees and fingers interlocked as he did at the beginning, and even his expression and eyesight were expressionless.
Change, looking at the piano with serious friendship. The smile on the face of the student assistant only faded a little.
The situation without applause was quite embarrassing, but Yang Jingxing was so shameless that he patted himself four times, feeling a little excited and complacent: "For friendship."
To be continued...
