King of Classical Music

On the day when the New Love recruitment competition ended, Qi Mu was walking with Min Chen on the way out of the town of the music festival. Min Chen received countless text messages and phone calls, some condemning "Okay, since we're here, we don't see each other anymore." ", some are complaining, "I didn't know until I was gone, so you are here, Min."

All kinds of text messages and phone calls are going to be bombarded in turn. Those who send letters to condemn are basically musicians who have performances at the Ocean Music Festival, and those who can talk to Min Chen are naturally A long-established world-class music master.

Among these people, Qi Mu knew many people, and some he had only heard of concerts, but without exception, they were all people that it was difficult for others to meet.

Some masters are not as good-tempered as Mr. Swell. Across the phone, Qi Mu could hear the yelling in English loudly: "Helen, why can't you even play the etude? The rest time It's coming to an end, if you don't prepare this piece of music, you can eat the sheet music for me later!!!... Hey Min, you are really not enough friends, I have already returned to Canada, you want to treat me to dinner ,Have a meal!"

Min Chen nodded calmly, and said calmly, "Okay, I'll treat you."

"Helen! You got the fifth note wrong again in the third bar! You left your finger at home..."

The stern and elegant man hung up the phone without hesitation, completely cutting off the voice from the receiver.

Qi Mu: "..."

This call is from Mr. Nagano, the chief conductor of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. It is said that the master just returned to Canada from the music festival today. He just learned from Mr. Swell a few minutes ago that Min Chen actually attended his concert, but I was very angry that I didn't tell him what happened.

But it is such a world-class conductor, Min Chen still hangs up the phone without blinking... If those juniors who want to communicate with the master know this, I am afraid they will vomit blood with anger More than three liters.

Compared to Qi Mu's helplessness, Min Chen seemed very calm.He waved his hand casually and a taxi came. As soon as the two of them got into the car, Qi Mu sighed softly and said, "Today... I really troubled you. I didn't expect that after your identity was exposed, you would be in a taxi. It will be so troublesome, I finally understand Daniel's mood."

Min Chen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, a trace of confusion flashed in his pitch-black phoenix eyes, and he asked, "Trouble?"

Qi Mu nodded: "Well, many masters called and sent text messages to question you. Mr. Nagano seemed to ask you to treat him just now."

After getting into the taxi, Min Chen finally took off his black top hat. He leaned back on the back of the comfortable chair, and said with a leisurely expression: "No trouble, they are just contacting each other. If they don't contact today, they will contact tomorrow." Yes." After a pause, as if thinking of something, Min Chen added: "I just said casually about the meal, and I won't really invite him."

Qi Mu: "..."

As if not aware of the young man's speechless expression, Min Chen pressed his finger against his thin lips and said in a low voice: "His appetite is too big, I can't afford it."

Qi Mu: "..."

It's just that one person's appetite is not an elephant's!

Besides, even if you invite an elephant, you really can't afford it!

Probably Qi Mu's long silence and silence finally caught Min Chen's attention, and he turned his head slightly to look at Qi Mu.Looking at the young man's unclear expression, the man pondered for a while, and said, "Today... I have caused you a little trouble. If you don't mind, I will treat you to dinner tonight."

Qi Mu: "...Actually, my appetite is not small."

"..."

Obviously, this "severe" rejection deeply hurt the fragile heart of a certain master. Along the way, Min Chen didn't say a word again, which made Qi Mu a little uncomfortable.

He tentatively looked at the man beside him, and saw that he was looking out of the window with an indifferent expression. The brilliant colors of the sunset shone on that stern face, softening the tough lines a bit.

After thinking for a long time, Qi Mu asked cautiously: "...Actually, my appetite can still be controlled?"

After saying this for a long time, Qi Mu didn't wait for an answer.He found it both funny and helpless: it was the first time I saw someone begging to invite someone to dinner, but when he let go, the person was not happy again, really...

“There is a good steak near the hotel.”

"..."

-------

The three-day rehearsal time is indeed very tense for a large symphony orchestra. Even the New York Philharmonic has picked up 12 points of attention. Song" rehearsed perfectly.

In fact, when Mr. Swell chose Qi Mu as the guest principal, other people in the orchestra had some objections.Originally, they had already rehearsed this song with the substitute for two days. If they could perform it directly with the substitute, it should be much easier.

But Mr. Swell's good-naturedness did not mean that he had no prestige in the orchestra.Since Mr. Swell made a decisive decision, no one dared to say a negative opinion, so Qi Mu went to the world-class big orchestra - the New York Philharmonic on the second day of the recruitment competition. Rehearsal hall, rehearse with everyone.

Qi Mu hadn't had any special training on Sibelius's piece before, and he had only practiced this "First Symphony" a few times. I still encountered some difficulties during the rehearsal.

Mr. Swell smiled and asked him to rest first. After Niuai had rehearsed all the repertoires of the performance in the afternoon, Qi Mu officially returned to the chief position and continued to rehearse.

The results of the whole day made the other musicians in New Air a little worried.But what they never expected was that only the next day, this violinist from China miraculously integrated into their orchestra, inserting his own piano sound into the orchestra's piano sound in the most reasonable way, Then fade perfectly.

By the end of the last rehearsal of "The First Symphony" the next evening, Qi Mu was roughly able to lead the entire orchestra to a formal performance, and it should not be a problem if he only needed to practice a few more times on the last day.

Even Mr. Swell praised: "Qi, you really have a very good talent. I am looking forward to working with you the day after tomorrow."

As soon as the chief left, these New Air musicians immediately walked to Qi Mu's side enthusiastically like unrestrained brats, and asked questions one after another.

"Qi, it's only been one day, why are you so different? Did you start a small stove at night for tutoring?"

"That's right, Qi, although you played "First" yesterday well, you didn't cooperate with the orchestra very much. How did you change so much today?"

"I heard that you seem to know Mr. Bertram. Could it be that he guided you outside the orchestra?"

……

The successive questions really made Qi Mu not know where to start to answer. In the end, he had to quickly make a "pause" gesture, and then smiled helplessly: "After going back last night, I will carefully review everyone's performances in my mind." I went through it again and performed some simulated performances, so today I will be more cooperative with everyone."

"Huh? A mock performance? What is this?"

"Thinking about it all... My God, Qi, are you right?"

"You can remember all of us? My God, I've only heard of Mr. Burtram's amazing hearing and memory."

……

Most of the New Air musicians are American, among them there are yellow-skinned Asians, black-skinned African-Americans, and of course more white-skinned Caucasians with blond hair.But I don’t know if it’s because of a kind-tempered conductor, the members of Niuai are very friendly. Although they complained a little about Qi Mu’s repeated mistakes at the beginning, after getting to know each other well, everyone can even talk and laugh happily. This made Qi Mu's originally worried mood relax a lot.

Perhaps it is because there is an ocean across, although there are many orchestras in America, they are not as competitive as in Europe.

Of course, Qi Mu always believed that insidious villains like Luo Yusen would always be rare anywhere.

A truly capable musician will only prove everything by relying on his own strength, instead of doing some dirty tricks behind the scenes.Although Qi Mu still doesn't understand whose way he was blocking at the beginning, he is not in a hurry, because the development of things is always beyond his expectation, I'm afraid——

It is not far away from his return to the continent that gave birth to classical music.

……

The three days of rehearsal time soon ended, and the reputation of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra had already been established during the promotion of the music festival.And this sudden recruitment event also set off a small climax for Niu Ai's performance, especially when someone learned that even Min Chen appeared at this music festival, the Hong Kong City Ocean Music Festival Tickets sold out within hours!

As for concert tickets at Newell?

Please, it would have been priceless!

And this time, Qi Mu, who was qualified to play with Niu Ai, was soon picked up by enthusiastic music fans.

Sure enough, how could the person who can get Mr. Swell's approval be an ordinary person?

At the age of 13, he won the Junior Championship of the Menuhin International Violin Competition. At the age of 14, he performed with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Although he did not have a little limelight in the following eight years, these achievements are enough for most musicians to look up to.

And now, this young genius is actually the assistant principal of the City B Symphony Orchestra!

And after knowing this, some musicians finally gave up willingly: "They are so good for this sake, it really is people comparing people, it's so maddening!"

All in all, the superposition of the fame of Niu Ai, Qi Mu, and Min Chen finally led to the hot atmosphere on the seventh day of the opening night of the music festival, which was so hot that it was about to detonate the Hong Kong city.

Countless cars drove into the town from all directions in the port city, almost causing a small traffic jam.

And when the New Air concert officially opened, everyone's nervous anticipation had already been written on their faces, just waiting...

The sound of Sibelius's "First Symphony"!
