Hello 1983

"Mr. Weber, Mr. Weber?"

Chris saw that Weber had been watching for more than half an hour, and couldn't help but remind him aloud. After all, there are so many guests, it's not good to leave them alone.

After calling several times, Weber raised his head and gave Chris a hard look: "Don't disturb me!"

Then he continued to immerse himself in watching, humming some tunes from time to time.

"Okay, great, this piece of music fully demonstrates the grandeur of the African savannah."

"Wow, did you hear about love, it's Oscar-worthy music..."

From time to time, exclamations came from Weber's mouth, and everyone realized that something extraordinary seemed to have appeared.

Just like on Broadway, there is often no good production for several years.

But once there is a good work, it can be played for several years or even ten or ten years, which is enough for a lifetime.

These actors, of course, believed in Weber's vision. After all, they were able to create two epic musicals, Cats and The Phantom of the Opera, and they had real skills.

As for the work that Mr. Weber is so obsessed with, what level would it be, at least at the same level as cats!

When everyone looked at the young Mr. Mountain again, their eyes became extremely eager: Is another musical theater master about to be born?

After more than an hour, Mr. Weber raised his head again.

At first, his eyes were still a little dazed, and he probably hadn't come out of the script yet. When he saw Liu Qingshan, he looked excited, rushed over, and grabbed Liu Qingshan's shoulders with both hands:

"Mr. Mountain, this is a great work, a great work that can only be produced in decades!"

Liu Qingshan raised his hand and patted the other person's shoulder: "Mr. Weber, you need to calm down now."

"No, I can't calm down, I want to rehearse this musical right now, immediately, immediately!"

Webber has now fallen into a state of near madness, and has nothing else in his eyes, only the musical "The Lion King" is left.

"My dear, calm down, this is Mr. Mountain's work."

Sarah Brightman and Amao walked over together, and when they saw Weber's appearance, they hurried up to remind him.

Such works, without the authorization of the author, of course others cannot arrange them casually.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Mountain, I am too excited, please understand."

Wei Bo finally regained some sobriety, holding the script in his hand, and wanted to return it to Liu Qingshan, but he was reluctant and was extremely entangled.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "Of course it is written for the performance. If Mr. Weber can personally guide the rehearsal, I am completely relieved."

"Okay, okay!" Weber took the script back, and then remembered something: "Mr. Mountain, how are you going to charge?"

"Let others discuss these matters, we only talk about art." Liu Qingshan smiled and waved his hands.

In fact, he has planned for a long time. He will definitely hold such a work in his own hands, and it is best to take the performance share.

The Lion King can last for 20 years, even if Liu Qingshan's other careers have all failed, relying on this musical, it is enough to support him for a lifetime.

"Yes, we shouldn't be distracted by such little things."

Weber is a playwright, and he hates the kind of haggling business negotiations, so leave that to the lawyers.

"Mr. Mountain, it's getting late. We are lucky to meet you today. Of course, we want to invite you to dinner."

Or Sarah Brightman will come, unlike Weber and his gang, they are all a bunch of lunatics who don't understand the world.

Of course, Liu Qingshan would not refuse this kind of relationship-enhancing thing, so he said with a smile:

"We have an old saying in China, that is, if you don't fight, you don't know each other. Today's incident happened to be the beginning of our friendship."

So someone immediately went to book a restaurant, not far from the theater, a total of dozens of people walked over and sat at several tables.

In fact, these opera singers are still very simple, and soon everyone sat together, chatting and laughing.

Even the girls of Avalokitesvara are also respected by these actors.

During the dinner, it was natural to talk about the performance under the big tree. At this time, Sarah Brightman said:

"Mr. Mountain, I really like your adaptation of Scarborough Fair. Can I sing this song on stage with Miss Mao?"

Of course, Liu Qingshan couldn't wish for such a thing. You must know that Sarah Brightman is very well-known in this city.

Weber also felt that Liu Qingshan was a straightforward person, and he also said on the spot: He is willing to lead the crew to guest-star in the Phantom of the Opera.

This is even better, now that there are Broadway operas to help out, so do you have to worry about the audience?

During this meal, the guests and the host had a good time, and both parties were considered to have their own place.

Liu Qingshan got strong support here, and Weber also got his favorite script. This is simply a perfect cooperation.

During the meal, Gao Lingfeng called. Liu Qingshan explained the situation, and Gao Lingfeng quickly contacted the organizer. After all, this important news should be added to the promotion.

After the dinner, Liu Qingshan and his party went directly to the rehearsal, and then waited for the start of the performance tomorrow night.

The next day, major newspapers in the Big Apple City published the news that Weber and Sarah Brightman would appear on stage as assistants.

This immediately caused quite a stir, and the audience also wondered: How come two groups of people who can't fight each other get together?

It turned out that the reporters were really capable people, and they didn't know where to find out the truth, so the name of the musical "The Lion King" also appeared in the newspaper.

This is surprising news. Recently, Mr. Mountain from China has been in the limelight, and even created a song and dance drama, which has to be impressive.

Thus, on the Big Apple Times, the title "Dragon of the East" appeared for the first time.

Subsequently, this title was quoted by many newspapers, which shocked the whole United States for a while.

"Boss, how do you feel now that you are the Dragon of the East?" Little Stool still used this nickname to tease Liu Qingshan with a smile.

The other singers also watched the excitement with a smile on their faces, and there was something called "pride" in their hearts, dancing like a dragon.

"Do you know, this is called flattery, and you should be the most vigilant. Prepare well, and the performance will start soon."

Liu Qingshan knocked on the head of the little stool. In fact, he was very happy in his heart. After all, China now needs to establish a brand new image in the world.

At this moment, Liu Qingshan doesn't mind being the image spokesperson.

The only trouble may be that, although he won't be flamboyant when he is promoted to the sky by these foreigners, some people in the country will be jealous if he doesn't keep it all.

The performance time is set at [-]:[-] pm, and the location is Madison Square Garden.

As usual, Liu Qingshan came out to wander around and thank all the guests.

Sitting in the front row, there were ambassadors leading the staff in the pavilion, and there were also some dignitaries and celebrities. Liu Qingshan even saw a few NBA stars sitting there in suits and ties.

One of them looks like a gorilla and has a particularly tall body.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional: Waiting until next year, Gang Leader Qiao will start his first three consecutive championships.

Among the guests, there was also a tall figure, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw it, he hurried forward, clenched his fists, and greeted him with a set of combined fists.

Seeing that big man shaking his head again and again, Liu Qingshan's fists all missed.

Of course, Liu Qingshan didn't really fight, it was just a performance.

"Haha, Mr. Ali, congratulations, you are recovering well." Liu Qingshan finally stretched out his fist and collided with the boxing champion's big fist.

Ali's dark face also smiled happily: "Liu, thank you and your master. I heard that the old man is in Los Angeles. I plan to rush over in a few days."

After a year of recuperation, Ali feels that he can return to the ring now.

This is of course what he takes for granted, but there are basically no obstacles in his daily life, and he can live like a normal person.

The two chatted and laughed, very close, and Ali patted Liu Qingshan on the shoulder:

"Liu, I heard that the government is banning traditional Chinese medicine. This is very infuriating. Please rest assured that I will unite with some people to initiate a protest."

When Liu Qingshan heard this, he quickly thanked him. With Ali's influence, a single protest can support tens of thousands of ordinary people.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the concert started on time, and the first program was still "You and Me".

This time the singers were actually replaced by the original version, it was Yoshiko and Sarah Brightman.

The appearance of Sarah Brightman also aroused warm cheers from the audience, which is the star effect.

The opening was very successful, and then the show of the small stool quickly heated up the scene.

This song, as well as Scarborough Fair sung by Amao, and I Want It That Way by Ka Kui, etc., have gradually become popular now.

Therefore, record companies with a keen sense of smell came to the door one after another, including giants such as Warner Bros. and Capitol Records, preparing to release a concert album.

Of course Liu Qingshan is also happy, but this kind of cooperation has to be done through Hurricane Video, and Hurricane has obtained an exclusive authorization.

When Avalokitesvara performed on stage, the audience was amazed and everyone was deeply shocked.

And when the girls finished their performance, they were still posing, and then Sarah Brightman came on stage and sang the most exciting part of the Phantom of the Opera.

This time, the audience's emotions were completely mobilized, and the stadium of tens of thousands of people burst into applause.

At the end of the opera segment, Sarah Brightman and Amau sang the song Scarborough Fair.

The voices of the two singers are as ethereal as moonlight, which is mesmerizing.

This was not the biggest surprise tonight. When the Twelve Girls Band came on stage, the audience suddenly felt that there seemed to be a strange kind mixed in among this group of girls.

When a beam of light hit the man in the middle, the man took off his hat as a gesture.

In an instant, the screams of tens of thousands of people almost bulged the roof of the stadium.

The person sitting on the chair with an erhu on his lap is obviously MJ. No wonder the audience almost had a heart attack.

Who would have thought that MJ would not sing or dance, but would play a musical instrument instead, and it was a very unfamiliar musical instrument.

At the beginning of the performance, the first track was naturally the Forbidden City. Jackson also stretched his arms, and he played it decently.

Of course, he's still doing a lot of pretentiousness. After all, he's just practiced for a while, and at most he's just getting started.

But with Yu Shuilian and a few other erhu players, Jackson was not out of tune.

The audience was surprised at first, but after listening to it, they gradually became immersed in the magnificent music.

When "Miracle" was played, many audience members began to clap their hands rhythmically. Because of Jackson's leadership, many people found that they fell in love with these ancient musical instruments from China.

Liu Qingshan felt that Jackson should be hired as an ambassador to promote Chinese musical instruments.

MJ's appearance was not the climax of the whole show, but the real shock came when Liu Qingshan appeared.

Dozens of Indians wearing national costumes stepped onto the stage and danced their own national dances.

And Liu Qingshan held the Gaina flute and played a sad song of the Indians.

The last Mohican, in the roar and cry of the aborigines, shocked the hearts of every audience present.

Liu Qingshan also felt a lot of emotion in his heart: they are both ancient nations, but they have different destinies.

There is only one thought surging in his mind: self-improvement, self-improvement, self-improvement!

Chapter 818 No one can be alone

The Heart to Heart Art Troupe from China's performance at Madison Square Garden caused a sensation in the entire Big Apple City, as well as the entire North American continent.

The world also opened their eyes and began to re-examine this ancient oriental nation.

This is definitely a successful non-governmental diplomacy, reshaping China's image in Western countries.

And a wave of learning Chinese musical instruments is also quietly rising.

After the great success of the performance in the Big Apple, Heart to Heart Art Troupe has also been invited by many big cities, including Washington, San Francisco, Chicago and so on.

The next stop, Liu Qingshan chose Washington, after all, political influence must be considered.

But before that, he had to lead the team back to Los Angeles, because the Spring Festival was coming soon.

This year's Spring Festival must be celebrated here, so Liu Qingshan chose Los Angeles. After all, the Chinatown there is more familiar and he can feel the atmosphere of the New Year.

Just taking advantage of this period of Chinese New Year, everyone will also record records.

The only more troublesome thing is that the Thousand-Hand Avalokitesvara must be videotaped. Fortunately, there are TV stations to buy it. Although the price is not too high, it is enough to comfort these dancing girls.

When the group returned to Los Angeles, it was already January 25th. This year's Chinese New Year is relatively early, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

Everyone found a hotel in Chinatown, and basically booked it out.

Their entire team, cast and crew, plus support staff, also has 70 to [-] people.

In Chinatown, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is already quite strong, and red gauze lanterns are hung on the street, which is very festive.

Hearing that the eldest brother was back, the little fellows, the fourth and fifth, rushed to the hotel in a hurry.

"elder brother."
