In the next two days, Yang Jingxing continued to be busy at many tasks, except that he stopped working hard on the notation software in the middle of the night. There were no beautiful women contacting him to distract him.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, Yang Jingxing and Kong Chenhe went to the airport to pick up the Israeli pianist and professor, who was going to Hong Kong via Feipuhai after completing a performance in Japan. Such a large trip only cost An Xin six thousand US dollars in airfare.

So don’t talk about what happened to the Jews in the future.

Yang Jingxing now really uses Kong Chenhe as an assistant, and leaves everything to her to book hotels and other things. Kong Chenhe is also very adventurous and very motivated. The hotel he booked was where the masters stayed during the National Day last year, and the room was also

Likewise, ask about insured restaurants.

We met at the airport and exchanged pleasantries. He was already in his fifties and sixties, but the Israeli professor was still alone without even an assistant. Maybe he was really stingy.

Yang Jingxing’s arrangement was to have dinner together so that the person writing the recommendation letter could get to know the student better and then listen to the interview tomorrow morning.

The Israelis had no objection to the arrangement and did not need any rest. After arriving at the hotel, they left Yang Jingxing and Yang Jingxing to chat. The two pianists seemed to be in high spirits, and it was difficult for Kong Chenhe to understand how much they could understand.

sentence.

After the conversation got excited, the Jew believed that there must be a piano in this hotel. Just talking about it was not enough, he had to be serious about it.

Yang Jingxing did not dare to allow Jews to perform for compatriots for free in public places, so he went to school. However, after obtaining the consent of the guests, he asked Kong Chenhe to call Lu Kaiping.

Director Lu didn't seem to be angry because Yang Jingxing dared to contact him only through his assistant, and he hurriedly notified the teachers and students as soon as possible.

When the car arrived at the school, Yang Jingxing took the guests to the piano department first. In addition to Lu Kaiping, two professors also came to welcome them. They were just old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Everyone was warm to each other. However, Li Yingzhen didn't come, to avoid suspicion or something.

After not chatting for a while, and not having a sip of tea, the Israelis were still eager to get the piano, and now their hands were feeling hot.

In the classroom where Yang Jingxing used to take exchange classes in the rehearsal center, more than half of the students from the piano department came, as well as young teachers and graduate students, more than fifty people. As soon as the head of the department brought the guests in, everyone applauded and welcomed them, sitting in the seats.

An Xin in the front and middle is more brilliant.

Kong Chenhe seemed afraid to set foot in the piano department, so Yang Jingxing dragged him in.

The freshmen were still very active. They were probably the ones that Yang Jingxing had never seen before. Everyone was very excited to see the famous performers so close, while the juniors and seniors were quite indifferent.

He Ziang, who had realized his dream at the Yuanmeng Qinfang at the beginning of the year, was sitting in the second row. He raised his hand to Yang Jingxing, smiled and nodded politely. He followed Professor Hu, which was more appropriate.

Compared to He Zi'ang, Kong Chenhe and Yu Xinting, Song Yining was more concerned and happy. She really entered the music education department and became Kong Chenhe's junior sister, but she was too embarrassed to come here today.

The head of the department and the two professors asked Yang Jingxing to take charge of the work, and they went to sit and enjoy it.

Yang Jingxing was of course obedient and asked everyone to welcome the guests again, but did not give time for applause: "...Everyone knows that Professor Gerald is an authoritative performer of the Mozart Piano Association, but this afternoon, the professor told me about Bruckner, and also

There is the philosopher Nietzsche. I don’t understand philosophy, but Professor Gerard and I have some consensus on Nietzsche’s piano works..."

Now that she is here, Kong Chenhe still has to do her duty. When Yang Jingxing is talking, she points out chairs to the guests and whispers English that is standard in junior high school textbooks.

The guest was polite and wanted to stand with Yang Jingxing. Kong Chenhe did not dare to stay on the stage for a long time, so he went to sit at the back.

After a lot of nonsense, Yang Jingxing explained that he was here as a translator and teaching assistant today to help the guests give everyone a piano and philosophy lesson.

Yang Jingxing, who doesn't understand philosophy, dares to translate as a teaching assistant, and he is simply not on the same spiritual level as these little brats. Undergraduate students would think that Nietzsche was a poor piano composer, but the old professor can see further and wider, and discover that there are other

An artistic level.

Thanks to Yang Jingxing, he commented when the guests played, and after he played, he had to translate the guests' comments, chat with the guests, and translate students' questions for the guests...

In the master class last year, the Israelis talked about the profound state of "Tao follows nature". Their own national culture was not well accepted and understood by the Israelis. It is even more difficult today. There are several piano undergraduates who have time to attend.

Study philosophy.

Fortunately, Nietzsche's article was quickly read. Yang Jingxing led his classmates and teachers to applaud and welcomed the guests to play his own piano works...

Oops, the ten-minute piece of music has a philosophical flavor. Although everyone may not understand the mystery or understand the rules, they all know that this thing is high-end and classy, ​​so they spare no effort to applaud after listening to it.

Yang Jingxing could only admire his guests in terms of performance. Although it didn't look very particular at first glance, he actually had solid skills. Then he also performed his own "Piano Sonata in D Major", and his classmates and teachers gave him face, and the applause was warm.

The guests commented excitedly on Yang Jingxing, and there was a long list of comments. Yang Jingxing laughed when he heard it, and Professor Wei also laughed.

After the guest finished speaking, everyone was waiting for Yang Jingxing to translate, but Yang Jingxing didn't seem to understand: "Professor Gerald praised me, it's just okay... Time flies so fast, it's only been an hour and a half, okay, next

us……"

The piano department protested and the guests were dissatisfied, so why was it omitted? Did Yang Jingxing want to keep it to himself and not share it with everyone when it comes to academic research?

Yang Jingxing could only brag briefly...

It was half past six, and the guests, students and teachers seemed not to have had enough fun, but Yang Jingxing decided to call it a day. On behalf of everyone, he thanked the guests very much. He even felt that these two hours today were much more meaningful than last year's master class, and that everyone had gained something.

A study of musical wisdom. Realm is actually more important than technique and talent. Moreover, everyone has realm. It is not innate. It requires continuous learning and continuous improvement.

The last concluding remarks came from the dean of the department. Lu Kaiping also thanked the guests, and then said: "... everyone also applauds Yang Jingxing!"

The classmates were very considerate, and Yang Jingxing's face had also improved in his studies. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. He greeted An Xin and Kong Chenhe to follow the team...

Yang Jingxing didn't care so much. There were only four people for dinner. The main purpose was to help An Xin and Gerald communicate and let Gerald understand An Xin's attitude and thoughts about music. Generally speaking, An Xin has a serious respect for music.

, which made Gerald appreciate it more and look forward to the great progress that Yang Jingxing said.

While they were still chatting after the meal, Wang Rui called Yang Jingxing: "Awesome, you are so charming again today..."

Yang Jingxing said: "I am accompanying the guests."

"Oh... Then I still have ten o'clock." Wang Rui was afraid, and then complained: "Graduation is really not fun!"

At nine o'clock on Saturday morning, Li Yingzhen and Gerald met in the concert hall lounge, shaking hands and chatting for a while before getting down to business.

An Xin put on a new dress today, which looked like a formal dress. It was quite beautiful. She also put on makeup. Kong Chenhe carefully inspected all the details.

During the video recording in the performance hall, teachers from the recording department helped. They used a professional DVD worth tens of thousands of dollars and aimed it at the Steinway piano from the side and the front. The microphone was still external, behind the piano, and had been debugged before.

The seats of the teachers are also on the stage, but off-screen, Yang Jingxing joked with An Xinlai: "Imagine the audience is full, it will be like this during the real competition."

The video registration requirement is 20 to 30 minutes, which must include some of the music from the first round of the competition. However, An Xin will play for about an hour today so that Gerrard can learn more about it, and it is considered to be a training first, because the competition

The playing time of the second and third rounds was up to and over an hour.

Everything was ready and turned on. An Xin walked from the outside to the piano, bowed in front of the camera, then sat down and played the first piece, the first movement of Beethoven's 18th Piano Sonata.

Generally speaking, except for Yang Jingxing's Piano Sonata in D major, An Xin's repertoire does not shy away from so-called classics. This is also a decision made after her confidence has grown, although she also knows that it will not be possible in the next year.

Let’s make that leap again.

An Xin actually prefers Beethoven, but her playing used to be a little stiff, grainy but lacking in fluidity. Now it is much better than a year ago, especially the performance of the left hand in this movement, which is expressive enough.

The bright and cheerful...

After playing four songs in succession for twenty-six minutes, An Xin stood up, bowed to the camera, and then left the screen.

Everyone is encouraging, it’s good, it’s simply great.

Yang Jingxing told An Xin not to watch the video in a hurry, but to continue playing after a two-minute break. He also asked Gerald to listen to the music prepared for the second round, and he would definitely get valuable advice.

After listening to the students playing for an hour, Gerald also enjoyed it quite a bit. He fully understood why Li Yingzhen and Yang Jingxing invited him to write a letter of recommendation for An Xin. It was indeed to his liking. From the sound of the performance, An Xin was obviously a good person.

He is a thinking type and seems to understand philosophy.

In addition to comments and opinions on performances, Gerald, who has been a judge for many competitions, can also give An Xin a lot of advice from the perspective of competition. We basically have a long chat, and Kong Chenhe is also very happy for An Xin,

It looks promising.

However, after so many exchanges and the relationship has improved so much, the Jew did not say that he would refund the money he received. He just promised that he would write the letter of recommendation before the 18th of this month and not send it to Leeds.

The 18th was only a few days away, so when the guests said goodbye and had to rush to catch the flight, no one did much to stay. Yang Jingxing could also pretend to be sending people off and even took Kong Chenhe with him instead of An Xin.

On the way back to school from the airport, Yang Jingxing and Kong Chenhe said frankly: "Actually, that's all it is, isn't it?"

Kong Chenhe nodded with emotion: "There are so many things today, yesterday I was so nervous... But it's just because of you. It won't work if you and the teacher are not here... I know we are all ordinary people, but I just can't overcome it... Xinting is better than me

Much better, she is so awesome and can talk to anyone."

Yang Jingxing said: "I think you are more cheerful and outgoing than her."

Kong Chenhe shook his head modestly: "I generally...if I were to go to New Zealand, I would definitely not take the initiative to chat with others."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "You won't lose anything if you take the initiative, so what are you afraid of?"

Kong Chenhe knew it, but he couldn't overcome it, but he was willing to try. Speaking of which, Yu Xinting was still paying attention to the progress here. She wished that Yang Jingxing could get his passport and visa ready and leave at any time. This would be very difficult for Kong Chenhe.

It would take ten more clever people to cover up a simple lie...but Kong Chenhe could still bear it.

Before he arrived at school, Yang Jingxing's phone rang. It was from Kong Yafei, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time. Kong Yafei was really loyal and said that he had taken a big job and shot an advertisement for a newly established food manufacturer. The big advertisement should last for four weeks.

It's five minutes, has a script, a plot, beautiful locations, and casting and so on. It feels like a music video.

As the times progressed, advertisers actually asked for original music, so Kong Yafei recommended Yang Jingxing to the producer. Yang Jingxing’s resume was not bad. He was a famous music producer and had collaborated with a lot of stars. So the producer was willing to consider it because Yang Jingxing

He is also young and emerging. I believe his music should be like this, and it meets the requirements of advertising.

Yang Jingxing really believed that Kong Yafei was bragging when he promoted himself, haha: "I'm more expensive, have you told them?"

Kong Yafei also said: "Why don't you talk about... how much will it cost?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It depends on the requirements. If it is a simple solo of a few minutes, the starting price is 50,000 yuan; if it is orchestral music or something like that, the starting price is 200,000 yuan."

Kong Yafei: "Seriously, don't joke, wait for my reply over there."

Yang Jingxing said: "Seriously, don't be unbalanced."

Kong Yafei laughed a few times, and then sighed: "Then let me ask... I thought you didn't love money."

Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "You misunderstood..."

After sending Kong Chenhe to school, Yang Jingxing set off towards Eyang. On the way, he received another call. The other party introduced himself as the planning manager of the advertising department of some company, and he had done his homework. 402, it was pretty good, a bit
