The principal and the executive vice-principal seemed to be very close today. They used to often walk together to greet guests one by one. Now, perhaps seeing the crowd on Tang Qing's side, the two of them hurried over to do more than one thing.

The few middle-aged and elderly people who had just sat down had to stand up again, so the principal had to rush forward in two steps to invite the elderly people to sit down. The vice-principal split up and moved separately, so that the young people did not need to be polite.

When the principal looked at him formally, Qin Mengli reached out his hand: "Dean Yang, thank you and the school for the invitation."

The principal was enthusiastic and formal: "Thank you very much, Mr. Qin, for coming despite your busy schedule..."

After a few polite words, the principal greeted the singers again, all of whom were famous artists who added luster to Puyin's celebration. The vice principal followed in the principal's footsteps and shook hands with Qin Mengli, saying that he knew he had a tight schedule and that he was able to come this time because of the school.

Great face.

The vice-principal was also concerned: "Yang Jingxing, do you know each other? You two are the top figures in the pyramid, please talk more."

Yang Jingxing gestured: "Mr. Qin is on the tip of the top, and I am on the tip of the foundation."

Li Yingzhen laughed, Tang Qing laughed, Qin Mengli kept smiling, and Lu Kaiping nodded lightly as if to praise Yang Jingxing.

The principal also laughed: "Mr. Qin has worked with so many outstanding conductors and orchestras. Today is a rare opportunity. Yang Jingxing should ask for his experience."

Qin Mengli was modest and generous: "We can communicate, we can communicate... I don't know which works you focus on and which orchestras you have collaborated with?"

Li Yingzhen's expression remained unchanged, Lu Kaiping seemed to be thinking, Yang Jingxing said, "I have collaborated with the school orchestra."

The principal is also thick-skinned and can still smile at Qin Mengli: "The students and the orchestra have been looking forward to your arrival. It is a valuable experience to cooperate with the best performers...Have you met the conductor?"

Qin Mengli regretted: "It's not too late yet..."

"Please." The principal said enthusiastically, "Over there."

Qin Mengli politely said goodbye to everyone for now.

Looking back, the dean of Houcheng Conservatory of Music encouraged Yang Jingxing: "You are Professor Li's student, and Mr. Tang Qing appreciates you so much. You must have extraordinary standards. The gap between students and performers is even greater.

In terms of fame, you are still young, so don’t belittle yourselves and remember that hard work pays off.”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you."

The dean said to Li Yingzhen: "When I was teaching students, I encountered too many situations. As soon as they heard famous artists play and sing, some students developed this mentality and felt that no matter how hard they tried, they could never catch up and could not persevere. This is

You absolutely shouldn’t.”

Li Yingzhen nodded: "Well, so you have to be yourself."

The singer also said: "Students and juniors should be encouraged more. We are also responsible for this. Don't be arrogant just because you are famous."

Tang Qing joked: "Old Ding still encourages me to this day..."

After spending some time with the teachers and seniors, Yang Jingxing returned to Qi Qingnuo as soon as possible. The girl chatted with Tang Qing's assistant, and the topic was rock music, and she was very happy.

What a coincidence. Tang Qing's assistant's uncle is also a rock musician, but he is not well-known even in Taiwan. Unlike the Chenghuang Band, it is also well-known among Taiwanese compatriots who like rock music.

Yang Jingxing can also chat, which surprised Tang Qing's assistant: "...because the teacher values ​​you too much, and it has influenced me subtly. Don't you think, I have been doing this job for six years, and this is the first time I have seen the teacher so..."

It’s quite sad sometimes to think about how much you value someone.”

Qi Qingnuo has no sense of honor as a girlfriend: "If you understand his face, you will definitely feel more sad. Teacher Tang has completely misjudged the person."

Assistant Tang Qing was excited: "Really? I really want to see..."

Fortunately, the principal of Singapore came to disrupt the situation. Perhaps because the social environment is different, or the history of the school is too short, Singaporeans are more willing to talk about the new development of music with outstanding young people like Yang Jingxing.

The Singaporean first expressed his attitude. He believed that classical music has become increasingly irrelevant. However, judging from Yang Jingxing's works, it is obvious that he has very deep feelings for classical music, so the form of creation is still very traditional, even in terms of content.

Something new: “…do you think the decline of classical music is already a reality? If so, do you think it needs saving?”

Qi Qingnuo had to be serious about such a formal question, even though she had already told Yang Jingxing that she was unwilling to bring up such a topic again.

Yang Jingxing also expressed his views seemingly formally, saying that the development of music is getting richer and richer, and the accumulation of history is getting more and more, but the audience is only so large, and it will always have to be diverted. As for the meaning of classical music, if it really starts from entertainment products

Transforming it into purely academic value should be considered a sublimation.

Singaporeans seem to sincerely praise Qi Qingnuo and 306, saying that their music is a new utilization and development of the value of traditional music. This is what young people should do.

When asked about his attitude towards music, Qi Qingnuo thinks that his value orientation is half entertainment and half art...

Fortunately, Lu Kaiping came over again. He found an excuse to call Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo aside, with a troubled expression on his face: "I don't know Qin Mengli very well. He seems to have something wrong with his face."

Qi Qingnuo frowned: "What's wrong?"

Yang Jingxing was worried: "Did I say something wrong?"

Lu Kaiping shook his head solemnly: "Probably not...I wonder if Principal Xu just said something about you?"

Qi Qingnuo didn't know why, so Yang Jingxing guessed: "Because you are compared to me?"

Lu Kaiping quickly and seriously consoled him: "Even for this reason, we have to understand that others don't know you after all. As the saying goes, the ignorant is not guilty. If it were you, you might not feel comfortable... Don't take it personally, he

It’s not that I have any opinion about you.”

Qi Qingnuo laughed, and Yang Jingxing asked: "What should we do?"

Lu Kaiping remained calm: "It doesn't matter. If you are upright, you won't be afraid of a distorted shadow... In fact, what Principal Xu said was a good thing. I didn't expect it to cause misunderstanding. It doesn't matter, I will definitely figure it out..."

After watching Lu Kaiping continue to work, Yang Jingxing described it to Qi Qingnuo, who was so reasonable that Qi Qingnuo chuckled: "It's really a nice thing to say, but it won't make the listener interested..."

As a piano superstar, from the perspective of the audience, Qin Mengli should not be such a stingy person, and with his status, fame and sunshine and confidence, he doesn't care about a little "offense" at all. He is always doing good things.

.

Qi Qingnuo was not sure either: "...Maybe people at the top of the tower inevitably have insecurities. What do you think if you hear someone say that there is someone more talented than you?"

Yang Jingxing said: "As long as you don't come to fight with me for you..."

Over there, Lian Lixin and others were accompanying Li Yingzhen. Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo went over. Qi Qingnuo also showed off and asked Li Yingzhen if she wanted to eat something.

Lian Lixin told Yang Jingxing in a casual conversational tone: "Qin Mengli asked you about the rehearsal situation just now, and he seemed to be more interested. I didn't say anything in particular, and I couldn't explain it clearly in a few sentences."

Yang Jingxing said, "Please give the Queen Mother some encouragement tomorrow. Your words will work. Just a few sentences will do."

Lian Lixin said that Qin Mengli would have to rehearse tomorrow morning anyway, so he could give Yu Xinting some more time. Yang Jingxing declined, as he was too embarrassed to make the orchestra conductor work too hard.

Gong Xiaoling also brought the soprano singer to take a break. This soprano has a lot of connections with the female singer of the Puhai National Orchestra, and she can talk to Qi Qingnuo...

Lu Kaiping turned around again, looking increasingly busy and excited: "The air conditioner is so hot that I'm sweating... Professor Li, what Qin Mengli just said seemed to be that he wanted to hear Yang Jingxing play a song."

Li Yingzhen, who was joking with her peers, frowned slightly and didn't respond.

Lu Kaiping analyzed with a smile: "Maybe I have been hearing others talk about Yang Jingxing, so I am inevitably a little curious. It is human nature."

Li Yingzhen nodded: "We can find a suitable opportunity to communicate."

Lu Kaiping nodded and continued his analysis: "Yes, today is not appropriate. We have to be humble and not be too high-profile. I guess he just said it casually, haha..."

Lu Kaiping got close to the singer again. After a violin solo ended on the stage, several listeners nearby clapped their hands, and the violinist looked very satisfied.

Qin Mengli strode onto the stage with his usual lively and cheerful image and a loud voice: "Thank you, this performer, for the wonderful music... Dear gentlemen and ladies, good evening!"

The guests all looked towards the stage.

Qin Mengli is qualified as a host: "I am very honored to gather with you all to celebrate Pu Yin's 80th birthday. It is a very special day. Twenty years ago, it was Pu Yin who gave me the opportunity to enter the world of music..."

I feel that Qin Mengli was really inspired by this. Teacher Hu 20 years ago is now Professor Hu. The big brothers and sisters of the Puyin Symphony Orchestra who accompanied Qin Mengli to rehearse the concerto 20 years ago are now the backbone of Puyin’s teaching team.

Power. Now that he is back in Puyin and will be cooperating with the Puyin Symphony Orchestra tomorrow, Qin Mengli feels how wonderful and wonderful it is. Even though he has collaborated with so many of the world's top orchestras and conductors, all the personal praise and glory are no longer at this moment.

important……

With so much gratitude and emotion, Qin Mengli could only rely on music to express his feelings. The violin he just played was Scarlatti’s arrangement, so he would just present a Scarlatti song.

Qin Mengli reported the program in English with a bit of a British accent, Scarlatti's Sonata in E major, K380. This was a little surprise, because Qin Mengli has not published a record of playing Scarlatti, and it seems to be rare in concerts.

Although the proportion of piano professionals at the scene is not large, as long as they are interested in piano, they should be familiar with this piece. There are no hard technical requirements, but no matter how simple the piece is, top performers will have top performance.

The applause was very warm. The sum total of those quartet musicians' hard work throughout the night was less than one percent.

After Qin Mengli sat down in front of the piano, the enthusiastic applause quickly stopped. The hall suddenly became so quiet that even the waiters did not dare to push the trolley.

Worthy of being a top performer, Qin Mengli has impeccable skills. Even if he has different styles, he has to admit that his skills tend to be perfect. He always pursues details to build the whole, and always finds beauty and euphemism.

A good balance point.

Everyone was listening eagerly, and those standing guests were almost motionless.

After five minutes, the song ended, and applause broke out. Some people put their wine glasses on the ground but still showed great enthusiasm. Even the chef clapped so hard that the white hat on his head trembled.

Qin Mengli stood up to pay his respects. He was obviously used to grand scenes. The applause lasted for a long time, maybe because the overall standard of the audience was high. Qin Mengli also showed his respect for the applause with some pride.

After bowing and thanking you again at the right time, Qin Mengli also said: "Teaching has always been the greatest profession in my mind..."

Recalling that when he was a child, he received care and help from so many teachers, elders and even older brothers and sisters in this land of music. Qin Mengli now feels that he also has a share of responsibilities and obligations. Fortunately, he also has the ability.

Qin Mengli looked more serious: "Taking this opportunity today, I would like to introduce an incredible performer to the music industry. As far as I know, this performer has a very deep understanding and research of the works of many composers. He can do it before."

He interprets various types of works with unprecedented emotional height, and his performance is full of surprisingly rich details. Some people think that listening to his performance will make people redefine the piano..."

I guess everyone knows that it is not easy to comment on peers, so Qin Mengli's overly exaggerated and confusing description did not arouse any doubts. Moreover, it seemed that many people knew that he was talking about Yang Jingxing, so they looked here and laughed.

Li Yingzhen, Lu Kaiping, and Yang Jingxing himself seemed not surprised at all, as if this was something that had been arranged in advance. Qi Qingnuo also smiled, but Gong Xiaoling was a little surprised.

Qin Mengli spoke louder: "The person I want to introduce is called Yang Jingxing. He studied under the famous Professor Li Yingzhen. Let's get to know him together and see how powerful and extraordinary he is!"

Famous people do have face. Before Yang Jingxing could stand up, the guests started applauding, some enthusiastically and some politely.

Yang Jingxing accompanied him with a smiling face, while Li Yingzhen was so humble and expressionless that she said helplessly: "Let's play a piece, this is the end of it."
