537. Four Options! Closing Applause and Long Commentary Interview
An hour later, the black Volvo stopped in front of Fuge Bar.
Qin Jian got out of the car, and then Cai Song pushed out the passenger door.
"That's a good name."
Cai Song raised his head and looked at the bar's sign, "The boss has good taste."
"That's right," Qin Jian smiled, "Come on, the wine here is not bad."
Two young men walked into the door of the bar one after another.
The Fuge Bar was as quiet as ever. Except for the occasional chuckle or two from the bourgeoisie sitting on the bar, only the cello on the small stage was playing the strings alone. The player was a middle-aged man.
The two came to the place where Qin Jian used to sit and handed over two glasses of wine.
Qin Jian did not expect Cai Song's sudden arrival. At first, he wanted to invite Cai Song to watch the premiere, but he thought that Cai Song was on a nationwide tour with his entire group, so he did not make the request.
It wasn't until we were chatting on the road that he learned that the other party was present at the premiere, but because he had a performance the next day, he left without even saying hello to him.
This made Qin Jian quite touched.
"This wine is good," Cai Song pursed his lips and put down the glass, then took out a black invitation from his arms, "The night after tomorrow, at the National Center for the Performing Arts."
Qin Jian flipped through the play, "The Marriage of Figaro, it's pretty good."
Then he raised his head and said, "Are your repertoires different for each performance?"
"Well, there are symphony topics and operas."
Cai Song nodded, "This time, I decided to arrange Figaro's wedding at the Grand Theater after coordinating with the company for a long time. After all, the National Center for the Performing Arts is a big event."
Qin Jian agreed and put away the invitation, "I will definitely be there the day after tomorrow at night."
As he spoke, he raised his glass and said, "I wish the performance a success."
Cai Song smiled suspiciously, but instead of raising his glass, he took the wine glass raised by Qin Jian and put it down, "Don't worry, I want to ask you for help with something."
"Oh?" Qin Jian asked suspiciously, "What's the matter? You tell me, but let me explain first that I've been very busy recently."
Seeing Qin Jian's attitude, Cai Song said repeatedly: "Don't worry, I want 20 minutes of your time."
Qin Jian frowned, and then his heart moved, "You don't want me to be your guest, do you?"
Cai Song put away his smile and said, "That's right."
Without waiting for Qin Jian's reaction, Cai Song talked endlessly about his idea.
Cai Song's idea was that Qin Jian and his Gu orchestra would complete the waiting music. He had designed the repertoire for Qin Jian - the first movement of Mozart's K466. He explained that K466 and The Marriage of Figaro were produced by Mozart.
It is the same period of creation, so the first movement of k466 serves as the transitional opening of the Le Nozze di Figaro play, which is very appropriate in terms of atmosphere.
"I stole this opening design from you." Alluding to the opening design of 'Papageno wants to find a companion'.
"How about it?" Cai Song then threw out his chips, "The Grand Theater's Guosheng Concert Hall has a capacity of 2,100 people, and the tickets were sold out a month ago."
"And it's paid."
After that, Cai Song stopped talking. Having finished speaking, he waited for Qin Jian to lead him.
He wasn't sure whether the other party would accept it.
Before approaching Qin Jian, Cai Song had already discussed this idea with the company's senior management, and the company readily agreed and promised a heavy reward.
However, what the company values more is Qin Jian's influence as a free man in the Yanjing circle, not Qin Jian's artistic attainments in Mozart music.
In the eyes of the businessman, Qin Jian's assistance will definitely create some topics and popularity for this performance.
Of course, objectively speaking, this is also a win-win event that is mutually beneficial.
However, what Qin Jian values more is the large-scale performance with 2,100 people. The day before yesterday, he was still thinking about how to get more worship points, and this is a good thing that will be delivered to his door today.
moment.
"Okay," Qin Jian nodded, "That's no problem, the music will be as you asked."
When Cai Song heard this, he felt relieved. With Qin Jian's help, he was more confident to raise the performance to a higher level. He had to start from stage art.
But just when he was about to serve him a drink to express his thanks, Qin Jian said, "I don't need the reward."
When Cai Song heard the word 'yes', he subconsciously said: "You can do it if you have any conditions."
Qin Jian smiled, looked directly at Cai Song, and made his own conditions: "I want you to help me conduct a Magic Flute performance and have another rehearsal class."
Qin Jian handed the question back to Cai Song.
Cai Song was in trouble this time. How could he not understand Qin Jian's thoughts?
Giving a rehearsal lesson to the opposing band is a trivial matter. Given their relationship, as long as Qin Jian opens his mouth, he will definitely arrive as time permits.
But the problem is - conducting a performance of The Magic Flute is a troublesome matter for him.
Unlike Qin Jian, he is free. He has a contract with the company, and the company does not allow him to participate in other commercial performances as a conductor.
Seeing Cai Song's troubled face, Qin Jian probably guessed the other party's difficulty, "If it doesn't work, just forget it."
Before Qin Jian finished speaking, Cai Song interrupted him, "Wait for me for a while."
With that said, he left.
"This." Qin Jian looked at the other person's back and shook his head with a smile, "He is also impatient."
He was originally going to say, forget it if it doesn't work. He was busy with the other party, so he only had to give him two rehearsal classes.
Cai Song is a professional conductor, and the overall structure of the orchestra's rehearsal is definitely not comparable to that of a dabbler like myself. Letting Cai Song give lessons to the orchestra can also broaden everyone's horizons.
Besides, between friends, helping each other a little is nothing.
Especially with their positional relationship and realistic situation, helping each other is tantamount to helping yourself, and in the long run it is also an investment in the future.
Everyone can still see that in the future of Chinese classical music, these two people will have their own seats.
After a while, Cai Song came back.
With a relaxed look on his face.
...
The 'business' was concluded, and all that was left was to drink and talk nonsense.
I drank a lot and cracked a lot of eggs.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time and talked a lot.
Qin Jian's trip to Warsaw is naturally indispensable.
Cai Song also told a lot of interesting things about the tour, such as the snacks and customs of a certain place, as well as the audience atmosphere in different regions.
Qin Jian also sounded a little yearning. He had never experienced a tour before.
It was past midnight, and the two of them were thinking of retreating.
"I'll wait for you at the gate of Huayuan at 8:30 tomorrow morning."
"ok."
After putting Cai Song in a taxi, Qin Jian found a price and sent the person and car back to school.
Naturally, he couldn't enter the dormitory. Fortunately, he brought the key to 309 before setting off in the afternoon.
As soon as he entered 309, he fell down on the wooden bed, took out his mobile phone and sent two messages before falling asleep.
After a while, his phone lit up several times in succession.
A message from Duan was mixed with a message from 'Sister'.
