179 【First Show】

Miller is an ordinary American youth and a crazy music fan.

Unlike the young Americans who are obsessed with rock, Miller likes traditional music, especially symphony, which made his friend nickname him "The Master of the Sixteenth Century".

Today is New Year's Day. Miller's parents are preparing to celebrate with their family when they watch movies together, but Miller refuses because he wants to stay at home to watch live TV.

The Los Angeles Music Center's New Year's concert was conducted by the famous Master Bernstein and performed by the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra, which cannot be missed for a symphony fan. Unfortunately, the tickets for the concert were too expensive and sold out early, so Miller could only watch live TV at home.

The whole family watched the movie, and Miller was the only one left in the family. Just as the concert was about to begin, Miller's girlfriend Jenny came.

Jenny was angry: "Oh, my 16th century master, today is the first day of the New Year, can't you accompany me to watch the movie?"

"Sweetheart, stop making trouble, the concert will begin soon." Miller stared at the TV intently.

Jenny sat on the sofa helplessly. What would she do when she met her best boyfriend?

In fact, Bernstein was not just a conductor and composer, he was also a TV celebrity. When Miller and Jenny were young, Bernstein popularized music knowledge on TV shows. His elegant conversation and handsome appearance have increased countless fans to him, including many children.

Miller was attracted by Bernstein's TV program when he was six years old and became fascinated by classical music. What he now learns to play violin.

The concert on the TV had begun, and Miller listened quietly to the performance, his arms dancing gently to the rhythm of the symphony from time to time. Next to him, his girlfriend Jenny was already asleep on the sofa.

Before I knew it, more than two hours of light yin passed with the music, Miller's parents and younger brothers and sisters had already watched the movie and went home.

"Oh, this master is still listening to his concert." Miller's younger brother Tom laughed.

Miller turned a deaf ear to his brother's words and stared at the TV intently.

Suddenly, the concert host walked onto the stage. Miller thought the host would announce the end of the concert, but the host said: "For the last performance tonight, we invited a mysterious player. He comes from the ancient and mysterious East. The instrument he used to play has a history of at least 7,000 years. This is a prehistoric instrument. It is also a palace instrument in China for thousands of years. Please invite Kang from Hong Kong and his Chinese ocarina!"

A young Asian man walked onto the stage and waved to Bernstein on the podium and the orchestra staff. He bowed a few times to the audience and said in a middle way: "Hello everyone, my name is Kang Jianfei, I am from Hong Kong, China. I will bring you a song "The Original Scenery of My Hometown". This is a song I created myself. I hope American friends can like it."

Miller, who was watching TV seriously just now, suddenly exaggeratedly: "Oh, hell, what is this Chinese doing? Playing the ocarina at a symphony concert, which bastard came up with a bad idea."

Miller's shout immediately woke Jenny who was asleep, and the other family members came over. His father asked, "What happened?"

Miller pointed to the TV: "That Chinese man was going to play the ocarina at a symphony concert. And it was Master Bernstein who was the conductor, and the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra accompanied him!"

Jenny smiled and said, "Chinese people all look similar. He has the same face as Bruce Lee (Bruce Lee). They are both ordinary."

Miller's father: "Listen to his performance, I don't think the Los Angeles Music Center will come to you casually."

Between a few people's words, the performance had already begun, the first violin and the inaudible piano sounds were played.

After a prelude, the ancient and desolate sound suddenly sounded, just like the echo from the ancient times, or like the call from the deep mountains and valleys.

After listening for a few seconds, Miller suddenly became stunned and murmured to himself: "I'm the one who bought the cake!"

At this time, in the concert hall of the Los Angeles Music Center, countless audiences who came to listen to the symphony were also stunned. After coming to their senses, they immediately listened carefully, and gradually became fascinating.

It’s not that “The Original Scenery of Hometown” is so good that it’s a symphony that these music fans have listened to the symphony for countless times, but it’s the first time they listen to Tao Ye’s performance. That feeling is naturally shocking. It’s like a Chinese music fan who has been listening to polls suddenly becomes in the live performance of the symphony orchestra. It’s definitely a hair on his body and his heart is deeply shocked.

Bernstein is worthy of being a master. It took him three hours to arrange and rehearse the original scenery of his hometown, but the effect sounds far better than the version arranged by Li Fanyu. When various Western musical instruments and pottery are combined, they do not seem abrupt and isolated at all, and have a sense of harmony that complements each other.

After the song "Papapapapapa...", applause sounded like a cháo in the concert hall.

Kang Jianfei's appearance was a complete surprise for these audiences. Although they were not playing symphony, the novel instruments and styles of music were very useful to them.

Kang Jianfei put down Tao Xun and said to the microphone: "The following song is Tao Xun's solo - "Sky".

This time there was no accompaniment, but the music played seemed purer. The sound was like its name "Sky", as if it came from the clouds outside the sky, ethereal and ethereal, sometimes changing for no reason, taking the listeners to fly in the sky.

Before Miller could speak in front of the TV, his girlfriend Jenny was already surprised and said: "Wow, the sound is so clean, I like this song. Miller, what is that Chinese name?"

"How do I know?" Miller shrugged, "but this song is really great."

On the TV, the concert has come to an end, conductor Bernstein is holding hands with the performers of the band, and Kang Jianfei is also celebrating with everyone.

Bernstein patted Kang Jianfei on the shoulder and said, "Kang, your performance is great. I have promised Columbia Records to arrange your other ten songs."

"That's so thankful." Kang Jianfei smiled.

Columbia has already recorded a part of the Chinese musical instrument accompaniment of the Chinese musical instruments from Hong Kong, and asked Bernstein to arrange the music, so naturally he created another version. At that time, the two arrangement versions will be launched together. It depends on which type of music fans like to buy it. Maybe many people will choose the two versions together.

With the presence of the master Bernstein, the concert attracted more than a dozen reporters. Before the concert started, these reporters didn't care about Kang Jianfei, but after the concert, Kang Jianfei was surrounded by reporters.

The next day in the Los Angeles Times, the headlines of the entertainment edition were news directed by Bernstein. After this news, the newspaper used about 500 words to report Kang Jianfei's performance, and the title was: "The mysterious player appeared in the concert, and the sound of ancient instruments amazes the audience."

The report is very simple. It just describes Kang Jianfei's appearance, and ordinary readers will not watch it much. However, American music industry and symphony enthusiasts are deeply impressed by Kang Jianfei, and many people are asking about Kang Jianfei's specific situation. This is mainly due to the effects brought by Bernstein and live TV.

On the second day after the concert, some American radio stations also began to broadcast the album "The Original Scenery of Hometown", and Kang Jianfei came to Los Angeles KTLA TV to record a variety show.

The program was not specially recorded for Kang Jianfei. He was just one of the guests invited. In addition, there were some guests from India, Ri, Egypt, the Philippines and other countries. The theme of the program was the different customs of each country.

There were two hosts in the program, one man and one woman. Until the program started recording, Kang Jianfei felt like he was obedient like a fool. The most important thing was that when recording the program, he couldn't listen to what these people were. Liu Hongsheng had to sit next to him and translate for him, but once several other people talked at the same time, he was completely blind.

Seeing that the camera camera was not facing him, Kang Jianfei took the opportunity to whisper to Liu Hongsheng: "I think Columbia is just playing with me. What is the promotional effect of this kind of program?"

Liu Hongsheng: "This show is very popular in the western region. The ratings have always been very high. You play on the show once, and the publicity effect is even better than performing at the Los Angeles Music Center last night."

The guests from Ri and Egypt next door were quarreling over the dress of the Chinese women, and Kang Jianfei could not join the battle group, so he had to chat with Liu Hongsheng.

Fortunately, Kang Jianfei came just to promote music, and Columbia also communicated with the program team. He specially asked him to play a piece of pottery during the recording.

After Kang Jianfei finished playing, he indeed shocked a bunch of foreigners in the program studio. However, these guys just praised him and turned into something boasting about their respective countries.

“This music is great, but the Filipino music is also good.”

"We also have many good ethnic instruments, such as Sanwei Line, which is very special."

"Egypt is not bad either. Many modern musical instruments are evolved from ancient Egyptian instruments, such as modern guitars are ancient Egyptian guitars."

“…”

Kang Jianfei was too lazy to argue with them, thinking that he had finished recording today's program by fooling around, but in the last interactive session, an interlude suddenly appeared.

The guest from India suddenly walked up to Kang Jianfei: "I heard that you Chinese can do Kung Fu, I want to have some discussion with you."

This was purely accidental. The host couldn't help but watch the director. The director nodded and continued.

Kang Jianfei looked surprised and said in the middle: "Isn't Sange good at climbing trains and dancing? How do you change your martial arts? I can sing a song "I play with mud in the Northeast". Why don't we collaborate with a song, and I'll sing you for dancing? Medicine, Chek Nao, Pancake Fruit... "

Liu Hongsheng was sweating coldly and didn't know how to translate it.

Indian guest: "I practiced Indian Kararipayat fighting skills, so I came to ask Chinese Kung Fu for advice."
