Manchester, Rome, Geneva…
In just 15 days, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's tour around Europe in the first quarter of 2017 has gone through four stops. On the morning of April 15th, the world-class symphony orchestra officially arrived in Paris, ready to start the concert rehearsal for the penultimate stop of the tour.
As soon as he set foot on the land of Paris, Qi Mu hurriedly put his luggage into the hotel that the orchestra had booked in advance.
During this period of time, no matter where the performance was performed, Qi Mu always acted with the members of the orchestra, so even if someone surreptitiously left him a large number of keys when he was in Vienna, Qi Mu never thought of staying there. outside the hotel.
And this time when Qi Mu came to Paris, it was the first time he wanted to go out alone.
Qi Mugang explained his own affairs with Mr. Dorensa and indicated that he wanted to go out at night, and Mr. Dorensa said clearly, "Oh Xiaoqi, are you going to see Reed?"
Qi Mu didn't hide it at all: "Yes, Mr. Dorensa, the teacher and I have not seen each other for a long time. I heard from the teacher that his waist has been a little bad recently, so I want to take the opportunity of coming to Paris to see him."
Hearing this, Dorensa smiled gently: "Okay, Xiao Qi, you are going to see your teacher, how can I stop you? But I haven't seen Reed for a long time, right? Let's go together. How about visiting him?"
Hearing this, Qi Mu didn't. Mr. Dorenza and Professor Akkad have been old friends for many years, and it is very common for them to visit each other. Qi Mu smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go visit the teacher together, Mr. Dorensa, I think the teacher will also be very happy for you to visit him."
Qi Mu's voice just fell, when he heard a sudden sound from the side: "Hey, Xiao Qi, Dorensa, are you going to see Akade?!"
The two turned their heads in surprise and saw Mr. Anthony walking over and said, "God, I like Akkad very much, and I saw him at New Love's concert a few years ago. Xiao Qi ...can you take me with you?"
Qing Ting's brows wrinkled slightly, Qi Mu thought for a while, then nodded: "There should be no problem."
As soon as the words fell, the people of Wei Ai who had been eavesdropping on the side for a long time immediately exploded—
"I adore Master Reed Akkad too! I want to go, I want to go too!"
"And me, I like Master Akkad's "Devil's Trill" the most, it's the music of God!"
…
After Mr. Anthony started, more and more Wiai members raised their hands one after another, wanting to meet the world's top violin master.
But Mr. Dorensa rarely raised his face on the floor and rebuked solemnly: "Reed is not in good health recently, so many of us are disturbing his rest. Okay, it's Xiao Qi, me and Anthony. Let's go together, let's have a good rest in the hotel."
Mr. Dorensa is rarely so solemn, but the members of Wei Ai also know that their conductors are right, and if there are too many people, it is not a visit, but an interruption. So they could only resentfully ask Qi Mu to convey their love for Master Akkad and bring their own blessings.
When the three of Qi Mu arrived at Professor Akkad's house, the master was sitting at the dining table tasting a cup of fragrant hot cocoa. After seeing the three of Qi Mu coming, he was surprised, and immediately welcomed the three of them into his small living room.
After pouring a cup of hot cocoa and two cups of water from the kitchen, Professor Akkad put the cup of rich and mellow hot cocoa gently in front of Qi Mu, and then placed the other two cups of water at random. In front of Mr. Rensa and Mr. Anthony.
After doing all these "ceremonial" things, Professor Akkad didn't even give his old friend Mr. Dorenza and Anthony the other side, looked directly at Xiao Qi, looked up and down for a long time, and then sighed. He raised his face: "I've lost weight!" His tone was unpleasant and his voice was dull.
Qi Mu shook his head in disbelief: "Teacher, Wei Ai is on tour recently. I have to walk around with the orchestra, and I will definitely lose weight."
Who knew that in the next second, Professor Akkad snorted, then pointed to Mr. Anthony and said, "Look at Anthony, why is he not thin at all? I think he is fatter than three years ago. A lot!"
Qi Mu: "..."
Teacher, if you say that to Mr. Anthony, he will be sad...
"God, Master Akkad, do you still remember me?!" Anthony's overjoyed voice interrupted Qi Mu's thoughts. He turned his head and saw that the always serious chief said excitedly: " Yes yes, I'm Anthony, we met three years ago at the New York concert in London, Master Akkad!"
Professor Akkad gave a soft "Yeah" and gave Mr. Anthony, who was so excited that his face was flushed, a look, then turned to look at his lovely student: "So, Xiao Qi! You are so thin. Is that so? Did you not eat well outside?!"
Qi Mu: "..."
Mr. Anthony, so you are still a die-hard fan of the teacher...
"Xiao Qi, it's not the teacher who told you that young people should focus on their bodies! You shouldn't have 80 pounds now, right?"
Qi Mu's eyes widened in surprise and retorted: "Teacher, I have 65 kilograms now!"
"What!! You're only 65 kilograms?!!!" Professor Akkad looked horrified, then he immediately turned his head to look at Dorensa, who was always smiling, and said in shock, "Dorenza, who are you? How to torture our little seven, 65kg, 65kg... This is so light!!!!"
Mr. Dorensa who was shot innocently: "^_^"
Wait until Professor Akade told a lot of things like "Xiao Qi, you have to take good care of your body, if you dare to lose weight, the teacher will not see you", "Do you know that you will start eating three bowls of rice every day tomorrow", "No no no, You have to eat at least one more big steak every day!" After that, it was getting late outside the window, and the sun was gradually setting.
Since Wei Ai had to rehearse the next morning, the three of Qi Mu didn't stay any longer. When he came to the door, Mr. Anthony was very excited and took Master Akkad's hand, and said repeatedly: "The next night at our concert, if you have time, you must come!"
Professor Akkad nodded calmly and said calmly: "Little Qi is here, I will definitely go."
Seeing that Anthony seemed to want to continue to express his longing and love, Mr. Dorensa dragged the old guy away with tears in his eyes, leaving a time for the teachers and students to spend time together.
Standing in front of Professor Akkad's house, Qi Mu handed the invitation letter in his pocket to his teacher. The invitation letter for this Wei Ai tour concert is light off-white, with fine patterns outlined with gold threads on it, which looks formal and solemn.
Professor Akkad accepted the invitation and stared earnestly at the handsome and handsome young man in front of him. After a long time, he sighed: "Xiao Qi, you can become the deputy chief and chief of Wei Ai at this age. A lot of pressure and a lot of responsibilities."
In the quiet corridor, only Professor Akkad's voice echoed leisurely. Qi Mu nodded solemnly and said, "Teacher, I will try my best. I never use my young age as an excuse to avoid responsibilities. I will definitely do my best."
Professor Akkad gave Qi Mu a meaningful look, and then sighed: "The teacher knows that you are a very hard-working child, but sometimes you put too much pressure on yourself. You are thinner, and you really left last year. I lost a lot of weight when I was in Paris, doesn't Auston feel distressed when he sees you like this?"
Hearing a certain name suddenly, Qi Mu couldn't help but smile, he shook his head gently: "He also wants me to eat more, but teacher, I'm not very thin, you worry too much, I'm not under pressure. Big."
Qi Mu said it lightly, but Professor Akkad knew how cruel he was to him as a student. He reluctantly reached out and rubbed Qi Mu's hair, then said, "Okay, I can't control you in Paris, but if the teacher sees you so thin next time... Well, then I'll make you look good!"
Qi Mu tilted his head and asked, "Teacher, what standard is not thin?"
Professor Akkad thought for a while: "I remember your height is about 183... Then Xiao Qi, why do you have to weigh 80 kilograms?!"
Qi Mu: "..."
Teacher, your "not thin" is really different from other people's!
The teacher and student talked for a while, but after a while, Mr. Anthony's shout came from downstairs. Qi Mu was about to formally say goodbye to Professor Akkad, but before he could speak, he heard Master Akkad suddenly whisper: "The day after tomorrow, I will go to Wei Ai's concert, Xiao Qi... Don't let the teacher down. "
Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Teacher, I will definitely work hard."
Under the dark night, Paris was still as peaceful and peaceful as before. An old man stood in front of his window and watched the taxi carrying his students drift away. He squeezed the invitation letter in his hand slightly, feeling nervous and looking forward to it.
His students are really going to give him a grand performance!
…
In just two days, on the night of the Wei Ai concert, Master Akkad rarely took out a neatly stacked suit from the wardrobe. He ironed the black suit properly, then carefully tied his tie and applied hairspray.
After this dressing up, the quirky and arrogant little old man disappeared all of a sudden, and standing downstairs in the Paris Philharmonic Hall was an elegant and charming old gentleman.
He seriously looked up at the oversized poster hanging on a whole wall, his eyes stayed on "Deputy Chief: Qi Mu" for a long time, and finally he stepped up suddenly and officially entered the door of the concert hall!
Tonight, the penultimate stop of the 2017 VAI Europe tour - the Paris concert, officially opened!
