King of Classical Music

It's only been a few days since Qi Mu returned to City B, and just after sending off the most solemn Christmas to the West, the new year is ushered in.On the night of December 12 every year, Huaxia will hold a New Year's Concert at the famous Great Hall of the People, and the performance will be performed by the Huaxia National Symphony Orchestra.

As for the Symphony Orchestra of City B, their current situation is somewhat similar to that of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. What is even more similar is that this year Tan Zhenghui did not intend to perform nationally on the occasion of the New Year. We arrived at the concert hall of the Great Hall of the People.

The world-class conductor invited by Huaxia this year is Master Ivan Kessel from the National Symphony Orchestra of the United States. This master’s music style is very delicate and soft. He has also directed the China National Symphony Orchestra to perform on the occasion of the Spring Festival in the past. Qi Mu is still looking forward to tonight's performance.

During the nearly three-hour performance, the outstanding performance of Master Iwan and the Huaxia Orchestra won applause many times. By the end of the performance, many audiences in costumes were still immersed in the atmosphere of the wonderful music. Unforgettable.

Qi Mu came to the auditorium alone to attend the concert that night.Zheng Weiqiao and his wife went back to their hometown to visit their relatives as soon as they got their vacation, but when Qi Mu knocked on the door of the neighbor's next door with the two tickets issued by the B City Symphony Orchestra, there was no response for a long time.

Before Qi Mu called strangely, he suddenly remembered——

Huaxia is going to hold a Chinese New Year concert, so why not use it in Berlin?

I'm afraid Min Chen went back to Berlin a few days ago for the last few days of rehearsals with the orchestra, and the Berlin Philharmonic New Year's Concert on the night of the 31st every year is also a must-see performance for Qi Mu.

So under such circumstances, Qi Mu had to sit alone under the magnificent dome of the Great Hall of the People, while the chair next to him was empty alone.But when he left the table, before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly heard someone calling his name in a low voice.

Qi Mu looked back, and saw Old Tan and the others smiling and walking towards him.

Du Sheng looked Qi Mu up and down, and said with a smile, "Xiaoqi, why did you come to the New Year's concert alone? Didn't the orchestra give everyone two tickets? No girlfriend?"

Hearing this, the smile on Qi Mu's face suddenly faded, and he said helplessly, "Brother Du, you're making fun of me again, I don't even have a girlfriend here." Not even a boyfriend!

Du Sheng laughed loudly, and didn't continue to tease, but a handsome man in a suit next to him smiled and looked at Qi Mu for a long time, and said: "Xiao Qi, I haven't seen you for so long, why didn't you say hello to us? Is it because I don’t know you, Uncle Zhu?”

In fact, Qi Mu saw Zhu Wenjun standing beside Tan Lao from a distance.

This handsome-looking middle-aged man is the current chief permanent conductor of the S City Symphony Orchestra, and the lady who is holding his arm beside him and laughing at Yanyan is the music director of the S City Symphony Orchestra, and also his His wife Cheng Tingwen.

Qi Mu nodded lightly, greeted politely, and then smiled gently: "Uncle Zhu, Aunt Cheng, long time no see, I have received the special products you sent me from S City last month, thank you one's gift."

Although Cheng Tingwen is over 30 years old, she is well maintained and looks only [-] years old.After hearing Qi Mu's words, she covered her mouth with a smile, and said, "Xiao Qi is really good. By the way, we have already received the album you sent from Hong Kong City before. Your skills are really getting better and better. Me and I Uncle Zhu made up his mind to tell you something after listening to Sibenius's "First Symphony" that you played with Neway."

Qi Mu was startled when he heard the words: "What's the matter?"

As a standard strict wife, Zhu Wenjun couldn't do anything about his wife. He looked at his wife helplessly, then looked at Qi Mu, and said: "This is still a matter of confidentiality. We plan to talk to Mr. Tan first." After discussing it, I will invite you again. But since Tingwen said it first, then I will say it directly. Xiao Qi, do you know how long our S City Symphony Orchestra has been established?"

This question really failed Qi Mu.No matter how hard he studies, he can't remember clearly the establishment time of all the orchestras in the world, even though the S City Symphony Orchestra is one of the most famous symphony orchestras in China.

As for the memory of the original owner?

It was full of all kinds of drag racing, fighting and playing games, and there was no such thing as a band formation time.

Ning Mei pondered for a long time, and Qi Mu probably gave an answer: "If I remember correctly, the S City Symphony Orchestra was established around the 20s, right?"

Zhu Wenjun and Cheng Tingwen looked at each other and smiled, the former nodded and said: "The time is not too far behind. To be precise, the S City Symphony Orchestra was officially established on January 1916, 1. issued a statement of establishment. This year marks the 8th anniversary of the orchestra’s establishment.”

Qi Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then heard Cheng Tingwen continue to say: "There were some accidents before, and the preparations were a little rushed, so we will not be able to catch up on January 1 this year, but in February, the S City Symphony Orchestra will hold a grand concert. Centennial celebration. Ten years ago when your parents were still alive, it was a pity. For the 8th anniversary, we invited European and American conductors and famous violinists to perform. The world presents a music event that belongs to China."

After what Zhu Wenjun and his wife said, Qi Mu had a faint guess in his heart, but he felt that it was a little unlikely, so he didn't dare to speak out.

Seeing his perplexed look, Mr. Tan smiled and said, "This time, the S City Symphony Orchestra's centennial celebration, our other orchestras in China will also send people to help. For the piano, we have already invited Xiao Sai, who was awarded last year. Wang Zheng of No.2 performed Prokofiev's "Second Piano Concerto" together with the orchestra."

Du Sheng also nodded with a smile: "This centennial celebration will invite many young Chinese talents. Except for Min Chen, all famous Chinese musicians under the age of 30 have received invitations, and many of them have agreed to perform specially invited performances."

Hearing Du Sheng mentioned Min Chen's name, Zhu Wenjun looked at him helplessly and said, "Bo Ai seems to have some activities at the beginning of the year, otherwise I would also give up the baton to Min Chen."

Zhu Wenjun's self-deprecating words made everyone laugh, and then he looked at the bewildered Qi Mu, and said seriously: "Xiao Qi, in fact, we prepared a lot of plans at the end of last year, and we also sent out Some invitations. In terms of specially invited violinists, we have considered several young violinists including Sheng Yanhui and Li Zhang, but now... I think there are better candidates.”

These words could not be more clear, but even if Qi Mu didn't understand, he also understood the meaning of Zhu Wenjun's words.

But he was still a little dazed. After a long time, he frowned slightly and asked tentatively, "Uncle Zhu, do you want...to invite me?"

Zhu Wenjun smiled gently and said: "Yes Xiaoqi, the S City Symphony Orchestra will send you an official invitation tomorrow, and I hope you can participate in this centennial celebration. Originally, some people in the orchestra still had some prejudice and doubts about you, but Your previous cooperation with Niuai was very good, and they have completely dispelled their concerns."

After a pause, Zhu Wenjun gradually straightened his face, and said in a serious tone: "Qi Mu, I sincerely hope that you can accept this invitation. In the past eight years... both of us have made some mistakes, and we have not done anything for Qi Jun. He Kisaragi took good care of you and let you take some detours."

Back then, my father and mother passed away so suddenly, which made many old friends extremely sad.Qi's father and Qi's mother left only Qi Mu as a single seedling, so many seniors spent their time trying to nurture him to grow up, but they didn't expect that such behavior would have the opposite effect, making the already stubborn Qi Mu more and more rebellious .

In fact, in the past eight years, when these old friends got together, they also regretted it. If Qi Mu really didn't want to pursue this path, then their behavior back then was indeed somewhat selfish.So in private, through Zheng Weiqiao's relationship, they gave Qi Mu some pocket money and helped him find a job.

No matter how well-connected Zheng Weiqiao is in the circle, it is impossible to find a job for Qi Mu every few weeks, and it is impossible to help Qi Mu frequently when he still has to support his family.Those thin-skinned seniors were too embarrassed to apologize to the juniors face to face, and the original owner would yell at them when they saw them, so they had to use such a roundabout way.

But Zhu Wenjun mentioned it this time, but it was the first time in a serious manner.

Zhu Wenjun sighed, and said again: "It's been a few months, I think...you really want to go back to the road of classical music. In this case, Xiao Qi, this is something your parents didn't finish. Wish, we all hope that you will accept the invitation and make this centennial celebration a complete success."

The bleak and howling cold wind blew across the square, and the Chang'an Avenue at the end of the year was still full of traffic. The neon lights that belonged to the city shone on the fair and handsome young people's faces, making them look hazy.

After a long time, Qi Mu nodded slightly, showing a sincere smile: "Okay, Uncle Zhu, thank you for your invitation, I will work hard...not to let you down."
