King of Classical Music

Europe is the second smallest continent in the world, only slightly larger than Oceania.Although the area is small, 44 sovereign countries are distributed on such a small piece of land, which really forms a star-studded situation.

The small area determines that the distances between different places are really not very far. For example, from Berlin to Dresden, the distance is obviously less than 200 kilometers, but Qi Mu insisted on boarding the plane. After flying for a few minutes, it landed again.

Qi Mu: "..."

The man walking in front of Qi Mu consciously took the suitcase in his hand, turned his head and asked very considerately: "Bo Ai has nothing special to do today, where do I need to go first? Bolan Ten Burg Gate, Unter den Linden Street, both are fine."

The weather in Berlin is slightly cooler than in Dresden, so Qi Mu only wore a thin long gown and tied the coat around his waist to prevent the temperature from getting too low at night.

Originally, he thought that he came to Berlin simply to visit Bo Ai, but after hearing Min Chen's words, he became interested in this city, so he asked curiously, "Is it convenient to go to these places?"

Min Chen raised his right hand to prop up the sunglasses, and nodded slightly: "Well, my car is parked at the airport, so I can go there now."

Hearing this, Qi Mu couldn't help laughing and said: "Then let's go for a walk."

Qi Mu has been to Berlin in the past, but he always performed with the orchestra.

Regardless of the distance between Berlin and Vienna, which is only more than 600 kilometers, to put it bluntly, it is only half of the distance between city B and city S, the first city in China, but even so, Qi Mu has never had time to visit this city by himself.

After hearing Qi Mu's answer, Min Chen nodded slightly, he quickly put down his sunglasses, and then continued to move forward with the suitcase.

Seeing this, Qi Mu couldn't help feeling a little surprised, he had never seen the other party like this before in Dresden.

As if aware of the youth's doubts, Min Chen lowered his voice and whispered in Chinese: "Many people in Berlin know me, so it's not as convenient as in Dresden when walking outside."

Hearing this, Qi Mu nodded understandingly.After all, Bo Ai is the most outstanding symphony orchestra in Berlin, representing the highest level of German classical music.So in Berlin, the headquarters of Bo Ai, it is quite normal that "many people know the chief conductor of Bo Ai".

However, he thought so, but when Qi Mu saw a young girl looking in their direction with surprised eyes, Qi Mu was slightly taken aback, and then asked strangely: "There are many people who know me in Dresden too. Mr. Farrer, but... I have never seen Mr. Farrer treat him so seriously..."

The steps under Min Chen's feet suddenly paused, then he turned his head to look at the young man beside him, raised his sunglasses slightly, revealing a pair of sharp and narrow eyes.Min Chen looked at Qi Mu seriously, with a flat tone, as if what he said was a matter of course: "Because I... am more handsome."

Qi Mu: "..."

Do you dare to be more narcissistic! ! !

……

The Brandenburg Gate is located in the center of Berlin, a section of boulevard from its east to the Marx-Engels Bridge is the famous Unter den Linden Avenue.

Sitting in the quiet compartment, through the glass windows with dark window stickers, Qi Mu could see the grand and solemn neoclassical style door from a distance.But what surprised him was that the car passed by the Brandenburg Gate at high speed without slowing down at all.

Qi Mu turned around in surprise and asked, "Aren't we going to stop?"

I saw Min Chen caressing the steering wheel calmly, and said calmly: "My house is nearby, let's put your luggage first."

Qi Mu: "..."

How do you feel... as if you were fooled?

But Qi Mu didn't wait long this time. Min Chen seemed to simply put his luggage in the garage downstairs first, and then drove him to visit the Brandenburg Gate, the Bodhi Tree Street and other places. Famous attractions in Berlin.

Qi Mu is not a person who likes to take pictures, so he basically recorded these beautiful places in his mind.But at those inadvertent moments when Qi Mu turned around and looked up, he didn't notice that a certain man beside him was secretly playing with his mobile phone.

Thanks to the pear mobile phone, there is no sound when taking pictures.

It didn't take long to walk from the Brandenburg Gate to Unter den Bodhi Street, Min Chen soon brought Qi Mu to Bai Ai's headquarters.

Probably deeply influenced by the German Bauhaus architectural style, the headquarters of Bo Ai is quite different from the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, and it is also completely different from the Dresden Symphony Orchestra. It belongs to that kind of modern building with a full sense of design.

Standing downstairs, Qi Mu was amazed by the streamlined architectural lines for a long time, and the bright orange and beige style was even more eye-catching.This is indeed Qi Mu's first visit to Bo Ai's headquarters, so he didn't expect...

The world's top veteran orchestra actually has such an "advanced and fashionable" headquarters building.

Under Min Chen's leadership, Qi Mu easily entered the building.

Walking in this building with simple style and simple design, Qi Mu felt as if he had entered a modernist art exhibition hall.

On both sides of the transparent corridor shaped by four-sided glass, there are group photos of members of Bo Ai in the past years, as well as personal information of some conductors and chiefs.These photos, from hand-painted oil paintings to black and white photos, to today's color photos, have already witnessed the heavy history of this century-old orchestra.

Among these photos, Qi Mu stopped suddenly just as he walked to the last few photos. He stared blankly at the serious white-haired old man in the photos, and he didn't come back to his senses.

"This photo was taken two years before Mr. Karajan's death," the man's deep and magnetic voice sounded in Qi Mu's ear, and the warm breath made Qi Mu feel a little uneasy, "I didn't know until he passed away." At the age of 4, he also resigned from the position of chief of Bo Ai in the same year.”

When Qi Mu was just admitted to the Geneva Conservatory of Music, he knew that the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra has always pursued the tenet of "never die, never quit".The world's number one symphony orchestra has the highest level of music, and also has the most demanding admission methods.

But now Qi Mu looked at the old man in the photo who was old but still had a tough face, and he couldn't help feeling admiration in his heart.

Herbert von Karajan, this is a music master known as the "Emperor of Conductor".

During his 34 years in charge of Bo Ai, this great conductor brought out the world's most unique Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, making this symphony orchestra, which is already at the top of the pyramid, a step further and becoming the overlord of the classical music world , and remains so far.

Looking at the master's remains, Qi Mu sighed incredulously, and said, "It's a pity, you were only 4 years old when Master Karajan passed away, I'm afraid you haven't seen this master..."

"No, I have."

Qi Mu was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Min Chen with wide eyes in surprise.The latter's thin lips were slightly hooked, looking at himself calmly, and said: "When I was 4 years old, I followed my parents to a Bo Ai concert, and then I met Master Karajan backstage." In Qi Mu's expectant eyes, Min Chen recalled for a while, and then said: "He is... a very serious master."

Hearing this, Qi Mu couldn't help but nodded with a smile: "Well, the music style of Master Karajan is also the same." After speaking, the young man couldn't help but sighed softly, and said regretfully: "Unfortunately... I can't do anything in this life Heard the concert he conducted live."

Seeing the disappointed look on the young man's face, the handsome and indifferent man narrowed his eyes slightly. After a long time, he pointed to a photo next to Master Karajan and said, "But you can hear his command."

Qi Mu immediately looked in the direction of Min Chen's finger, and then...

"..."

Min Chen said with a serious face: "His conducting style is also very good, and you can also hear him directing his own repertoire." The man's tone was serious, as if he was saying something very certain : "Well, the composer personally conducts his own music, so he can better understand the connotation and meaning of the music."

Qi Mu: "..."

It happened that a staff member of Bo Ai walked by the corridor. Hearing Min Chen's serious words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.The next second, Min Chen glanced at him seemingly calmly, and the staff immediately stood up straight and walked over with a blank expression.

Qi Mu didn't even share the photo of the "master who can direct his own tune" from the corner of his eye. Instead, he glanced at it and walked to a pair of empty photo frames. He was stunned for a while, and asked, "Strange... ...Shouldn't the photo of Kedori be placed here?"

Min Chen with a disappointed look on his face: "Kedoli's photo is over there."

Qi Mu turned around and saw, as expected, Kedoli's photo was opposite the empty photo frame.

Although Bo Ai adheres to the principle of "never die, never give up, never change", this does not mean that one conductor only corresponds to one chief, after all, things are impermanent.Therefore, the photos of the current Bo Ai conductor Min Chen and the chief Kedori are not placed opposite each other, but diagonally.

After Qi Mu looked at Kedori's photos and information for a while, he planned to leave.But after he took two steps, he was surprised to find that a certain man who was supposed to follow up and lead the way had disappeared?

Qi Mu immediately turned his head to look, and saw Min Chen standing at the position just now with a calm and composed expression, looking at him from a distance.Seeing the young man turn his head to look at him, he asked very calmly in a low voice: "I really don't need to... have a look again?"

Qi Mu: "..."

After Qi Mu patiently read through a certain man's profile, Min Chen satisfactorily led him to Bo Ai's rehearsal hall.

While walking, Qi Mu quietly looked at the stern and elegant man beside him, as if it was difficult to associate him with the childish guy just now.

With a helpless smile, Qi Mu said softly: "Actually, I don't read it because... I have firmly memorized that person's information a long time ago."

The steps under Min Chen's feet froze suddenly, and after a long time, he let out a low "hmm".The handsome and profound face still had a calm expression, but the thin lips were involuntarily raised slightly, obviously in a happy mood.

Bright and bright sunlight shone into the house through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside the window was the relaxed and leisurely afternoon scenery. In the corridor inside the window, Qi Mu followed Min Chen for a long time, and finally reached the end of the corridor.

Behind this door is Bo Ai's rehearsal hall.

On August 2016, 8, Qi Mu entered the headquarters of Bo Ai for the first time.
