He calculated earlier than He Peiyuan, and it was far before four o'clock when Yang Jingxing's car drove into the Chinese Orchestra. It was obviously not there to pick someone up. Moreover, Lu Baiyong is also one of the best conductors in the country. If we talk about the Chinese Orchestra alone, it can be said to be one of the best.

This thing between being famous and being famous is not just a matter of kids playing music talking endlessly to find each other's sense of identity. The so-called competition between masters, the composer is too early to come.

After parking the car, Director Yang went straight to the main building. Without even looking at 306, without being polite to the people below, he ran to the command office and knocked on the door: "Lu Zhi."

"Please come in." Conductor Lu Baiyong seemed unable to recognize Yang Jingxing's voice. He raised his head and smiled: "Sit down."

Yang Jingxing said nonsense: "I'm disturbing your reading."

"Chew carefully and slowly." Lu Baiyong closed a copy of "Mengxi Bi Tan", but it seemed that what he was reading was not music: "Do you understand Go?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I only know a few rules, but I heard from my high school teacher that Shen Kuo's algorithm seems wrong."

Lu Baiyong nodded and smiled again: "If you were also born in the Northern Song Dynasty and could embark on the path of creative research, what kind of work do you think you would compose?"

"I don't know." Yang Jingxing said confidently: "I haven't read it, but the teacher said it was an ancient encyclopedia."

Lu Baiyong sighed: "The meaning and charm are faintly heard..."

Conductor Lu is becoming more and more serious about the possibility of studying the feasibility of using folk music thinking to lead the Second Symphony. Although this work seems to integrate folk music into Western music, he thought so at the beginning.

But after all this time, he hadn’t actually studied the music score very deeply before. It was the precipitation and fermentation of various things that stimulated his sense of smell. These things included the conductor’s interpretation, the musicians’ comments, and the performers’

Their solo attempts and experience sharing, excerpts from New Zealand, different media reports at home and abroad, different music reviews, different audience feedback...

More importantly, Lu Baiyong discovered the "freedom of conception" above or beyond the re-creation space of "Second Symphony", so what he wanted to discuss was not the economical detail annotation on the score, nor was he trying to talk about Lian Lixin's

"Echoing each other" or Jeromil's "Chinese and Western application" are wrong. Instead, if you put aside the idea of ​​"overall harmony" and then explore, you will feel that the various voices in the work are not just harmonious "music".

"Relationship". Conductor Lu is currently more confident in pointing out the profound inclusiveness and flexibility of the folk music parts in the work, or it can be said to be the expansion space. It can even be understood that folk music can make a huge impact on the entire work, and folk music has some influence on Western music.

The ability to "bring the bright moon into my arms"... deduces that "Yang Jingxing's Second Symphony" absolutely needs to be further studied with the artistic thinking of "getting out of the sound".

Lu Baiyong confidently stated that he was not doing these considerations as a conductor of a folk orchestra. He also firmly believed that his discovery was one of the composer's earliest and most fundamental creative intentions. Otherwise, even if he wanted to do this after having a rough idea,

This kind of soul-level design is almost impossible.

Yang Jingxing was obviously not convinced that the conductor looked down on his own genius: "Actually, I didn't think about this carefully at the time, but I think the direction you mentioned is very interesting and valuable, and it deserves my serious consideration in the future."

"Leave it to time." Lu Baiyong nodded deeply: "This kind of musical wealth and artistic value should be left to time to discover, and more importantly, to use it, to give full play to its value. Not so many people can understand it now, or they don't have the motivation yet.

To understand.”

It means that he is not famous enough. Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you for your encouragement."

"I really want to conduct some research." Lu Baiyong's expression was hesitant: "But in this situation, on the other hand, I also think that everyone needs to calm down. If you don't calm down, you won't be able to do good things."

Yang Jingxing continued to nod.

Lu Baiyong was concerned: "What are you busy with now?"

"I've been busy in the studio for the past few days." Yang Jingxing's phone rang and vibrated, and he glanced at it: "I'm from the literary troupe, I'll take the call."

Lu Baiyong knew: "I went to the city for a meeting."

Yang Jingxing nodded and answered: "Hello, Literary Group."

"Are you in the group?" Wen Fujiang seemed very happy: "I am at the foundation now, and I may not be able to make it back before get off work. After a day of meetings, in the morning at the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Minister Cao emphatically praised Director Yang. "

Yang Jingxing: "Thank you, I'm here to listen to praise from Lu Zhi."

"Commander Lu is an artistic compliment." Wen Fujiang seemed to be speaking in an official tone: "What Minister Cao said is an affirmation of the direction of the policy program."

Yang Jingxing understood: "The direction must be controlled by the regiment and the leaders. I am following the command."

"Yes!" Wen Fujiang also praised: "We all listened to the command, and we worked together to get things done. Commander Lu, their burden was heavier this time, but we saw that we were willing to contribute to the promotion of national culture.

There are more and more people, and everyone is more confident, and we will definitely achieve more fruitful results."

Yang Jingxing sat opposite the conductor and nodded: "Thank you for opening up the situation. If you hadn't lowered your status and done so much work yourself..."

"Hey, our duty is to serve artists." Wen Fujiang didn't like hearing it anymore: "Then you have a good chat with Commander Lu, I still have some things to do here. When Commander Lu and the others come back, Director Yang still has to go back to the unit to listen.

Let’s listen to the report?”

Yang Jingxing also said: "Okay, then you go about your business first."

Seeing the composer put down the phone, Lu Baiyong seemed unable to remember what he had just said: "Yesterday afternoon during the rehearsal... were you still recording Xu An in Pingjing?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "It will take a while, the progress is a bit slow."

"Xu An is still good." Lu Baiyong was seriously concerned: "Is the competition fierce?"

Having never discussed this topic with the singer, Yang Jingxing could only guess: "There is competition, but the competition is mainly about the times rather than peers..."

Lu Bai shook his head impatiently: "I mean, how many pop singers ask you to make and arrange songs?"

Yang Jingxingming

It was white, and he quickly started to boast: "It's not that little, 402 has become more popular in the past two years."

Lu Baiyong smiled and nodded, seriously encouraging: "Do what you want to do, don't be restricted by rules and regulations, and master your talents."

Yang Jingxing seemed to understand: "Thank you."

"There are some right and wrongs..." Lu Baiyong also looked in the direction of the door: "It's human nature to think about it, and you don't mind it."

Yang Jingxing nodded, as if he was aware of words and expressions: "Are you talking about something specific?"

Lu Baiyong seemed to not want to gossip or didn't know how to start the conversation: "...Reporter Fang isn't very familiar with you?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I had a brief chat when I went to New York last year, but we don't usually have much contact with each other."

"That's right." Lu Baiyong seemed to praise: "You and I can avoid these things."

Yang Jingxing was curious: "What's the matter?"

"Small things have nothing to do with us." Lu Baiyong didn't care much: "I also heard that reporter Fang was more anxious this time because her boss or colleagues wanted to report her. They called it topic selection and wanted to do it first.

Press it down."

Did he offend someone again? Yang Jingxing was confused: "What's the reason?"

"The specific situation is unclear..." Lu Baiyong could guess: "It may be that the cooperation between Pingjing and Berlin is more valuable, or it may be that the leader wants better and more experienced reporters to do this job."

"Berlin." Yang Jingxing was simply horrified: "The two sides haven't started talking yet. No matter how early it is, it will be the next music season. I met Professor Feng Nan in Pingjing before the Chinese New Year. At that time, I told her that the troupe might be too busy.

Come on, let Professor Feng ask if the China National Traditional Orchestra can..."

Lu Baiyong nodded: "We are familiar with Professor Feng."

Yang Jingxing was not afraid of confrontation and continued: "Professor Feng was very nice and helped. But it didn't seem to be going well over there. There was no news and I didn't ask again. Berlin should have not contacted me yet, otherwise I should know."

Lu Baiyong was a bit confused: "Three regiments and one court, deputies to the National People's Congress, members of the CPPCC, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Women's Federation, associations, bureaus, ministries, committees, Taiwan, and the people behind... can everything go smoothly?!"

Hey, this Commander Lu has a bit of an angry youth style. Yang Jingxing doesn't like it: "What did you hear? I've been in Pingjing this week and haven't heard anything at all."

Lu Baiyong didn’t mean not to share gossip: “You don’t need to care about these things. Some people are embarrassed. I don’t care whether it’s reported or not... The musicians in Puhai have different feelings for you. We are watching you.

.”

Yang Jingxing also became serious: "I was protected all the way by my seniors."

Lu Baiyong encouraged: "So don't take it personally and don't be distracted. Let's do our own thing well. This is what you often say."

Yang Jingxing just minded: "I originally wanted to wait until the news came out before reporting to you and the cultural troupe. What happened?"

Lu Baiyong's eyes seemed sympathetic: "Everyone has his own difficulties, and so do you. Most people understand. Mr. Ding's teachings are that you should shoulder heavy responsibilities and don't bother yourself with mediocrity."

Yang Jingxing was still worried: "I heard them say at school that the press team would go there..."

Lu Baiyong nodded: "The plan remains unchanged, and the leaders are not all idiots."

Yang Jingxing nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Lu Baiyong felt again: "The real influence cannot be reported. In our industry, we need to inspect the goods..."

Let’s not talk about those trivial matters and let’s talk about work. The “Natural & New York Philharmonic” concert will be held on the evening of March 5th at the Disney Concert Hall of the Los Angeles Music Center. The three works performed are all relatively young.

Prokofiev's "Piano Concerto No. 3", which is less than 100 years old, will be performed by the famous Chinese piano genius Luo Mingxuan, the winner of the Van Cliburn Piano Competition. Although Luo Mingxuan is not as famous and talented as Yevgeny, he is still

It is enough to show the sincerity of this concert.

The co-performer for Shostakovich's "First Violin Concerto", who has just turned sixty, is a Korean violin prodigy from Juilliard School. His reputation may not be as good as Luo Mingxuan, but Koreans in Los Angeles are also

Quite a bit. However, Jeromil has collaborated with Hilary Cole on this song, so there may still be some differences.

In fact, it is already a luxury to hold a concert with two masterpieces, so as a supplement to Yang Jingxing's "Second Symphony", which is not even one year old, we did not invite any talented prodigy to cooperate, but the number of people can be enough to give face to the cooperation.

There are still sixteen musicians from the Puhai National Orchestra, but it was once said that they would be reduced to twelve to save costs.

Speaking of which, there are only five sanxian players in the Puhai National Orchestra, and two of them are Ruan players. Even if they only go to three at a time, they can still turn quickly. There are not many dulcimer players in the troupe other than sanxian.

They are all promising, but it is a bit difficult for Erhu and Pipa to play with a large number of people.

However, the team that Lu Baiyong brought to Los Angeles this time was much stronger than when Wen Fujiang went to New York. There were nearly thirty people, including a group of singers and soloists, such as the famous young erhu player Zhang Lei, because in addition to the cooperation with New York,

, there will also be a special concert by the Puhai Chinese Orchestra on March 7th, organized with the help of enthusiastic friends and organizations. The 400 tickets for this concert only went on sale half a month ago, and it is said that they have almost been sold out. Although the second

The ticket price of ten dollars is still far behind the starting price of fifty dollars for capitalism in New Ireland, but after all, domestic Chinese orchestras can successfully perform large-scale commercial performances abroad. So the big team set off on March 1st.

It’s not just about eating, drinking and having fun in America, there are actually a lot of things to prepare for.

However, Lu Baiyong didn't seem to attach much importance to a family concert that had no special artistic significance. What he wanted to discuss in depth with Yang Jingxing was a higher level. Although he did not have as rich an overseas experience as Lian Lixin, Lu Baiyong thought that now
To be continued...
