Episode 916: Performers Everywhere? Langton's Little Secret
Usually a person's childhood prejudices against his or her parents are easily transferred to the things that the parents were concerned about at that time.
Take Duan Hong's cello, for example, it was the instrument Duan Ran hated the most when he was a child.
However, people will grow in how they deal with family relationships as they age.
Not long after returning home, Duan Ran called Duan Hong.
On the phone, Duan Ran told Duan Hong about the trip to Milan arranged by Langton. Duan Hong was not too surprised when he learned that Duan Ran was going to hear Henry Hertz's award-winning debut, because he knew that Duan Ran signed most of the
I'm going with Qin Jian.
"be safe."
Duan Hong emphasized more on such issues on the phone.
——
Qin Jian, who was taking a shower in the bathroom, vaguely heard the conversation between father and daughter through the crack in the open door, although it was only Duan Ran's unilateral voice.
"I understand, is there anything you need me to bring for you?"
"Hmm, like concert merchandise, or getting an autograph for you?"
Duan Ran's tone didn't sound like a joke to Qin Jian.
moment.
"Tsk, I am the champion of the Yang Negro Competition."
"Okay, okay, then I don't care."
"have eaten."
"Cake, and cucumber juice."
“Of course, it’s super delicious.”
"Where's Xuanxuan? How are you doing lately? Are you still picky about food?"
"I told you before, give her less snacks!"
"That's not OK."
"Eat first, and then give it to her after eating."
...
...
"Uh-huh."
"Hang up, go quickly."
"Bye-Bye."
After Duan Ran hung up the phone, he walked to the window and closed the curtains.
Then the clothes on her body flew to the bed one after another.
moment.
"I'm coming!!"
Qin Jian, who was at the bathroom door, suddenly retracted his head when he heard this.
He was just frightened by Duan Ran's loud voice.
..
On the other side, Duan Hong hung up the phone and returned to Duan Xuan's bedroom.
Xiao Duanxuan put down his bow and said, "Dad, sister?"
Duan Hong never does anything else while teaching his daughter, including answering ordinary phone calls.
Duan Xuan knows this best.
Moreover, this time was not during her father's working hours, so she was almost certain that the caller could not be someone else.
Duan Hong nodded and continued to start class.
"Start with the first bar, and again, pay attention to your right arm, and think of the bow as a part of your body."
Although Xiao Duanxuan wanted to ask her sister what she was doing, what she said on the phone, and whether she asked about her.
It's just that she knows that her father's words in class cannot be violated.
So she imagined that the bow on her right hand was an extension of her right arm, and gently pulled it.
The melodious melody rose from her hands, and she closed her eyes unconsciously.
She liked the melody of Saint-Saëns' "The Swan", which was very gentle, just like her sister caressing her forehead when she coaxed her to sleep.
Her father told her that as long as she practiced hard, she would be able to perform on a big stage with her sister in the summer.
And the sister’s boyfriend was also involved.
She knew her sister's boyfriend, and her sister secretly told her that he was a very stupid guy.
She also knows what a boyfriend is.
She guessed that her sister and Benben's boyfriend had kissed each other.
Half an hour later.
Duan Hong announced the end of get out of class with satisfaction, "My performance was good today."
Duan Xuan was happy, "Then can I eat chocolate?"
Duan Hong said regretfully: "Your sister asked me to tell you that from today on, you are not allowed to eat sweets before going to bed."
Duan Xuan nodded obediently, "Did sister say when will you go home?"
Duan Hong touched her head and said gently: "Seize the time to practice the piano this month, and next month I will take you to lie down in Vienna."
Xiao Duanxuan stretched out the little finger of his right hand and said something in jerky Chinese with a hint of Southwest Mandarin accent, "La Gou."
Then he added in a serious manner in French, "Don't change for a hundred years. People who change will get cavities."
Duan Hong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Duan Xuan's cute appearance, thinking that Duan Ran must have secretly taught him this.
It must be said that Duan Ran still has a solution, but he doesn't know what the hook is between the two.
"Okay, Lagou."
Duan Hongdan squatted down and hooked his fingers on Duan Xuan's.
The father and daughter went back and forth, and finally signed a seal.
Then Duan Xuan happily put away the piano and ran out of the bedroom.
Duan Hong stood up and looked away, looking at the solo score of "Carnival of the Animals - Swan" on the music stand.
Originally, he was supposed to perform this section at the music festival, but he wanted to get this opportunity for Duan Xuan.
Appearing at a major international music festival with a group of world-class musicians will be of great benefit to Duan Xuan's future artistic career.
Bruno agreed to this in a dignified manner, of course, provided that the other party had listened to the recording of Duan Xuan playing the Swan.
Returning to his bedroom, Duan Hong turned on his computer and continued to work.
Although in terms of time, there are still more than three months until the Paris Music Festival, in reality it is only a few weekends.
As the orchestra's general manager, he has to arrange the Paris Symphony Orchestra's performances at the Paris Music Festival, and he hopes to arrange everything perfectly.
And there was another thing that he needed to arrange during the period.
At the beginning of May, Henry Herz's Paris concert will come.
This event is co-organized by the Paris Cellists Association, and he is still the person in charge.
Thinking of Duan Ran asking him seriously on the phone, "Do you need an autograph from Henry Herz?" Duan Hong didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The daughter never understands her father well enough.
Of course, this is not Duan Ran's fault, there are some things that Duan Hong did not tell her.
In order to spend more time at home before Duan Ran went to Vienna, Duan Hong turned down the job he had accepted last year at the beginning of the year——
An invitation letter from the organizer of the Jannigro International Cello Competition in Croatia.
A job as a judge.
——
The next morning.
The weather outside the bedroom window of Kangsi Apartment 413.
It looks sunny.
When Qin Jian woke up, Duan Ran was lying on the floor of the bedroom wearing a nightgown, sticking out her buttocks towards him, and was busy at the same time.
He even made things crackle on purpose.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up against the head of the bed.
With a slightly dry voice, he stared at the pear-shaped figure on the ground and asked, "Didn't everything get packed last night?"
He really couldn't understand why the other party unpacked the packed luggage just to wake him up?
"Check again to make sure nothing goes wrong."
Duan Ran did not look back, carefully checking whether the dress Qin Jian was going to wear for the concert was folded, and said sharply, "There is breakfast on the table. Go brush your teeth and wash your face and have breakfast. There is not much time before departure~"
moment.
She was about to look back to see why there was no movement behind her, but then a strong gust of wind blew under the hem of her skirt.
With a cry of surprise, he was thrown onto the bed.
