The rain had just stopped, and it smelled like late autumn. Chang Yiming, who had come out without a coat, was standing on the roadside and seemed a little cold. But fortunately, Yang Jingxing recognized the Philharmonic bus before long and said: "Here it comes."

Chang Yiming looked like he was paying attention.

Yang Jingxing was also enthusiastic, waving his hands so hard that he almost jumped up.

The bus stopped slowly. Yang Jingxing responded with facial expressions and movements to the senior musician who greeted him through the window. When the door opened, he invited Chang Yiming to come forward and get on the bus together.

The music lovers were also polite and put on smiling faces before and after. The three people in the first two rows all stood up.

Yang Jingxing nodded and greeted: "Teacher Xia, Teacher Wu, Teacher Wang..."

Teacher Xia stretched out his hand toward Yang Jingxing and said brightly: "Long time no see... No need, why don't you come in person?"

Yang Jingxing explained: "It is inconvenient to get in, and the parking lot is not easy to find... I will introduce to all the teachers that this is our recording teacher, Teacher Chang Yiming, who is a senior like all the teachers."

Chang Yiming, who has worked with many celebrities and big-name musicians, is still not considered a seasoned veteran. He immediately smiled sheepishly: "I'm not, you teachers are seniors..."

Teacher Xia and Chang Yiming shook hands warmly: "Hello, hello, it's our first time cooperating with you. Happy cooperation."

Chang Yiming nodded repeatedly: "Hey, um, yes..."

Yang Jingxing introduced: "Teacher Xia is the principal of the Philharmonic Orchestra."

Chang Yiming nodded harder, using a please match expression.

Yang Jingxing continued: "Teacher Wang is the chief vocalist of the second group of Xiaoti."

Teacher Wang also shook hands with Chang Yiming: "Teacher Chang is so polite. It's raining... isn't it cold? Yang Jingxing only has a shirt."

Yang Jingxing thanked the relationship and continued to introduce the principal cello section to Chang Yiming. It seemed that the Philharmonic Orchestra did not despise this kind of extra money. Several heavyweights came. However, Yang Jingxing was snobbish, so he introduced a few principals and then stood up.

He didn't let Chang Yiming get to know the two schoolmates who were looking eagerly at him with smiling faces.

Then Teacher Xia went back to introduce to this group that Yang Jingxing, who is the leader of the Philharmonic Orchestra today and the deputy director of the orchestra office, has indeed not met him yet.

The deputy director introduced his responsibilities to Yang Jingxing: "Director Wang asked me to come over and cooperate with your work..."

Yang Jingxing thanked him, and then saved time and asked Chang Yiming to sit down. Chang Yiming was invited to sit next to Chief Xia. Yang Jingxing could enjoy himself, so he went to the passenger seat and said to the driver: "You drive forward, and you have to make two turns.

…”

The car started to move, and Chang Yiming spoke modestly to the band from behind: "The conditions are not very good, there is only one elevator..."

What does this have to do with it? Chief Xia feels that Chang Yiming is about the same age as him. People who came from that era should be grateful for the beauty of life now. Unlike the younger generation like Yang Jingxing, they have been much superior since they were young. To be precise: "Little

Yang was born in 1980?"

Yang Jingxing turned around and replied: "I was born in 1988."

Chief Xia sighed with Chang Yiming: "Look, I'm just twenty, and I don't lack anything."

Teacher Wang analyzed: "As a sophomore, they should be around 20."

Teacher Wu was precise: "I am now a junior in college, and I have three years to graduate."

Chief Xia looked at Chang Yiming with a somewhat serious expression and reminded him: "Young is young, and both piano and composition are top-notch."

Chang Yiming nodded: "I know, I know."

Chief Xia was more serious, like a warning: "You are not average, you can do it wherever you go, you can stand out!"

Chang Yiming chuckled: "That is, of course, I believe it."

Yang Jingxing was shameless: "I used to brag to Teacher Chang myself, but today I have Teacher Xia to prove it for me."

Teacher Wu gave Yang Jingxing face and laughed at Chang Yiming: "No matter what you say, it's not bragging."

"No, no. We have worked together a lot, and we know each other well. He sometimes plays a song in the studio..." Chang Yiming felt a little embarrassed, and then suddenly remembered the strong evidence: "I recorded a piece for him the year before last, with Chopin practicing.

Songs, bells, majepa, will-o'-the-wisps, and nocturnes are all classic virtuoso music! There are also several of his own compositions. My apprentice kept one at that time, and later I also carved one, and I often listen to it now.

.”

Chief Xia was surprised: "Has an album been released? I haven't heard of it."

Yang Jingxing explained: “I recorded and played with it, so I just carved a few pictures.”

Violinist Zhou Hongbo, an alumnus of Yang Jingxing and sitting in the middle, finally spoke loudly: "I know that CD. Many teachers at Puyin have it. There is also a set of sonata albums, which shows my skills! There are only two in total."

The harp alumnus who walked out of Puyin added: "It's not just the teacher. Didn't I just listen to the CD last time the gramophone came over? It was recommended by Mao Tianchi."

The circle was so small that Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "It's the teachers who are showing off..."

Chief Xia continued to wonder: "If you have the chance, you must listen to it... The performer should have an album if he doesn't perform live, otherwise others will think that it is hard to live up to his reputation!" He became serious again.

Yang Jingxing was shameless: "Teacher Xia is sure of it, I'm not afraid of others saying it."

The musicians gave face one after another, chatting, symbolically or seemingly sincerely, and naturally mentioned that Yang Jingxing was going to the orchestra to rehearse Ding Sangpeng's Third Piano Concerto this weekend, and Yang Jingxing's First Symphony Orchestra had already rehearsed it twice and several times.

It’s been an hour, and it’s all worth looking forward to. The principals also wanted to take advantage of today to communicate with the composer.

Chang Yiming looks like someone who knows a lot about music. As a friend and colleague, he should be there to support the premiere of Yang Jingxing's first symphony, right?

Chang Yiming couldn't help it: "The work is like this. If we say we start work, we will start work. Of course I want to go if I have time."

Teacher Wu sincerely suggested: "You must go. It is very rare to hear such a good new work. It is not bragging to praise it."

Teacher Wang also presented some unflattering evidence: "The New York Philharmonic will also perform, next month, two weeks later than us."

Chang Yiming nodded: "I know, I know, our manager Gan... we will definitely go when we have time."

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have time. The musicians believe that Yang Jingxing’s symphonies and concertos are definitely not just one or two performances at the Puhai Philharmonic. Not only do everyone like them, but the attitude of the conductor and director is also clear.

Listening to the musicians working closely together to describe Lian Lixin's state of analyzing and rehearsing the symphony, Yang Jingxing felt even more embarrassed: "I used to hear people say that there is something wrong with being young and having no qualifications. I think it's great to be young, because I am so cared for by my seniors...

"

Everyone in the car seemed to have forgotten the main task today, and no one mentioned Tong Lei.

When you arrive at the parking lot, the bus has to park in a special parking space. A group of people get off and leave with their violins in hand. A dozen or so people can be squeezed into the elevator. But the cello is more difficult, and there are two double basses. It is estimated that it will take four or five trips.

.

Yang Jingxing asked Chang Yiming to accompany the chief and leaders up first, while he continued to greet people below. He was finally able to greet the alumni and confirmed to Zhou Hongbo that Chang Yiming also knew music and was also his senior and friend.

Some people also asked Yang Jingxing if or when he would go to New York. Yang Jingxing said that he would take advantage of the free air tickets to see his friends. Puyin students really care about their alma mater. They have graduated many years ago, and they even know the latest news about Yu Xinting.

It seems that the circle in the world is not very big. A cellist said that he had met and communicated with a certain musician in New Zealand in Europe. It was considered a friendship. He could contact Yang Jingxing first.

When the elevator went up and came down again, Pang Xi was inside. He showed his head and said politely: "Hello teachers, please come in..."

Finally they all went upstairs. The receptionist on duty and Pang Xizhong Yingying prepared tea for the musicians, while Yang Jingxing and Chang Yiming began to distribute music scores. The most was only two or three pages, and the least was only half a page. It was still a good time to make money.

, so they were all happy. After admiring Chang Yiming's professionalism, they queued up to visit Studio 402 without any courtesy.

At a quarter to three o'clock, Yang Jingxing discussed with the chief to get acquainted with each other casually first, and then Tong Lei would come over and finish the work. Teacher Tong's requirements were quite strict.

Those who have organized the event said that they are not in a hurry, but guests are welcome to do whatever they want, so everyone can prepare accordingly.

The band took out their players and sat down. Chang Yiming and Zhong Yingwen put the microphones in place and prepared other equipment. Yang Jingxing also walked to the front of the thirty or so people: "Teachers, please take a look first. I definitely can't conduct it."

, the teachers will understand everything clearly after listening to the demo once.”

Although Yang Jingxing's demo is quite rough, all professionals will understand their tasks after listening to it together with the score of each part.

Yang Jingxing will briefly explain some points, and then ask all the teachers to go over them again.

Even though he said he was not good enough, Yang Jingxing still had to stand in front of the band and act like a conductor, but he had no stage temperament at all. He also looked at the drummer eagerly and only raised his right hand to start clapping when he nodded in affirmation.

The military drummer stared at the score and repeated two tight rhythms. Yang Jingxing gave orders to the two double basses with his left hand, and then the violin group.

Although it was his first time, Yang Jingxing was still very skilled in his work, but the musicians were more skilled and could cooperate well with the newbies.

Because there are still some electronic music and other audio tracks, the accompaniment of the pure orchestra does not sound complete in some places. It should be for this reason that the musicians' sense of music is enhanced, so after the first pass, Yang Jingxing considered the singer's high requirements.

, I want to continue talking, there are still some things that need to be paid attention to. Hongxing Recording Studio is really far away now, not to mention Pang Xi, even the front desk is standing next to watch the rehearsal.

Fortunately, the orchestra did not slander Yang Jingxing. After all, they were soft-handed and listened to the words of the so-called conductor or producer...

By the fourth time, Yang Jingxing was still serious but without enthusiasm, waving his hands in front of the band, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

After the last note fell, the orchestra also looked at the conductor, preparing to continue listening to some advice.

Yang Jingxing's requirements were still much lower: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, teachers."

Of course, the orchestra will not give Yang Jingxing the treatment that he wanted to do to establish a new relationship, but after the break, everyone still encouraged the novices to a certain extent. So, the creation and conducting of large-scale works have many similarities, and Yang Jingxing's performance just now was definitely not like the first one.

Once, even if it is just two or three minutes of song accompaniment, it shows the conductor's ability.

But it was already 3:15, and there was no news from Tong Lei. Pang Xi thought about calling the assistant over there to ask, but Yang Jingxing was afraid of offending someone, so he told her to wait.

No one was in a hurry, and everyone just chatted casually, starting from the so-called First Symphony. In the name of art, some people started to ask Chang Yiming about Qidawei: "... Then you must

Familiar?"

Chang Yiming was embarrassed again and nodded: "Familiar."

Serious music practitioners also have rock fans: "The last time they went to a band as a family of three, they were old, really old, and so were we."

Someone asked truthfully: "My daughter is good-looking and has the temperament of her father... She is better than her father. Did she compose that concerto herself?"

Yang Jingxing nodded without embarrassment: "Yes... I think some of the works by the Chinese orchestra are better."

Several people nodded and said they had heard of it. Of course, they had also heard of Yang Jingxing’s 306 works, especially the solos, which were highly recognized by experts.
To be continued...
