The Voice of Vienna is one of the most well-known classical music magazines in Austria. The people who can appear in this magazine are all elites and masters in the industry. As the official media that speaks for the Vienna Classical Music Association, every conductor, chief, and even the chiefs of other instrument groups will be interviewed by this magazine within six months of their tenure, and will introduce them to the whole of Austria, and even the chiefs of other instrument groups. music lovers all over the world.
Since Qi Mu became the orchestra's chief as soon as he entered Wei Ai, he had to accept a lot of work and never had time for interviews. But after Qi Mu got familiar with Wei Ai's daily affairs a little, he started the tour for the first half of the year, so he didn't have time.
So until now, he finally met Mr. Keith, the editor-in-chief of "Voice of Vienna".
Keith Zelazny's name Qi Mu has been heard before. He is a well-known Austrian music critic who was only invited to be the editor-in-chief of "Voice of Vienna" three years ago. There are very few musicians who can be interviewed by Mr. Keith in person, almost four or five in the past three years. If Qi Mu is not the chief of Wei Ai, then maybe he will not be able to get this opportunity.
You know, even the reporter who interviewed Mr. Evra was only the deputy editor-in-chief of "Voice of Vienna", not the famous editor-in-chief. Not because Mr. Evra was ineligible for an interview with the editor-in-chief, but because the editor-in-chief was really high in the industry.
All in all, perhaps in the identities of the editor-in-chief and music critic of "Voice of Vienna", when people mention Keith Zelazny, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is: "Oh, this is a well-known Austrian music critic!"
So, on the second day of returning to Vienna, from 9:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon, Qi Mu chatted with the editor-in-chief of Case for a long time. Mr. Case is a talkative person, and so is Qi Mu, and when the two very chatty people get together, Mr. Tuckerman, the agent of Wei Ai, really wants to talk, it is as hard as heaven. .
"So you also like Paganini's music? Oh god, I've always heard that Xiao Qi's violin skills are very good. It's a pity that I couldn't participate in the previous Wei Ai tour."
"Mr. Case, perhaps I have the honor to invite you to Wei Ai's concert next week?"
"Haha! This is awesome!"
You quietly communicated fluently and smoothly, the harmonious atmosphere, and even the invitation to the concert was sent out so easily!
Tuckerman sat on the side and watched, no longer knowing what he was telling him in the morning—
"Xiao Qi, Mr. Keith is still very important in the industry, you have to pay attention", "I will send him the invitation letter today, if Keith Zelazny can come to our concert , that's a very honorable thing", "Oh, don't worry, I'm fully prepared to persuade this stubborn gentleman"...
Yes, Tuckerman stayed up late last night and made all kinds of preparations for the music critic, who rarely accepts private invitations from the orchestra, to attend Wei Ai's concert next week, but...
He still didn't say a word, so why don't you guys just talk about it. Okay. Ah! ! !
The interview on this day was very relaxing and pleasant. After the interview was over, Mr. Case asked the photographer to take dozens of photos of Qi Mu, and the whole day's interview was completely over.
Even when he was about to leave, the music critic said with a smile that he would definitely come to the concert next week to listen to Qi Mu's performance. While watching the departure of the "Voice of Vienna" magazine staff, Mr. Tuckerman stared at it for a long time, and finally turned to look at the smiling young man beside him.
"Xiao Qi... When did you give Mr. Case the ecstasy soup... "
A weak voice sounded from his side, Qi Mu looked at Mr. Tuckerman with a horrified face in surprise, and repeated puzzledly, "Essence Soup?"
Mr. Tuckerman immediately shook his head heavily: "No, no, no, this is ecstasy soup! Xiao Qi, Keith Zelazny will definitely write music reviews as long as he attends the concert, and he will definitely publish it in " On the Voice of Vienna! Oh my god, it's so cool to just soften the impact of that bad thing last year?"
Qi Mu: "...?"
Tuckerman stepped forward excitedly, hugged Qi Mu who was stunned, and said excitedly: "My God, you are the mascot of our Wei Ai, Xiao Qi!!!"
Suddenly, Qi Mu, who had an ominous premonition: "..."
Sure enough, when Qi Mu came to the orchestra the next day, Richard from the violin team came up and said, "Hey little seven, listen to Mr. Tuckerman, you actually invited Mr. Case to our concert in one sentence. Ah! Oh Xiaoqi, you are really the mascot of our band!!!"
Qi Mu with a black face: "..."
But after a while, other members also gathered around—
"That's right, Mr. Case is serious, he agreed so simply, Xiao Qi is really a mascot!"
"That's not it, Xiao Qi is so cute and so friendly, shouldn't Mr. Case appreciate our Xiao Qi!"
"Hahahaha, didn't I tell you before, I have a good friend from the Parison Theatre, he told me the other day..."
Qi Mu was suddenly startled and looked at the member who was talking in horror.
"It turns out that they all use Xiaoqi as the mascot of the orchestra at the Parison Theatre! Oh, by the way, they also made a mascot called 'Xiaoqi' before the Christmas Eve concert last year, hehe, I also put It brought..."
"Put down that red rabbit!!!" Qi Mu shouted in shock.
But it was too late.
"My God, this little seven rabbit is so cute!"
Qi Mu: "..." It's not Rabbit Seven, okay
"Wow, its ears are so soft, and its big round eyes are like crystal balls. It's really similar to Xiao Qi!"
Qi Mu: "..." His eyes are not as big as crystal balls!
"I want to buy one, and I want to buy one. Berg, where did you buy it, I want it too!"
Qi Mu: "..." What should I do if I really want to leave the group...
But for three days, in Qi Mu's reluctant smile, as long as he came to the orchestra, he would find that all the members picked up their mobile phones and the red rabbit mascot on their bag buttons, and greeted him with a smile: "Hey little seven, in the morning. Good!"
"… good morning." It would be better if you could not wave the little red rabbit's short legs.
"Hey Xiao Qi, do you want to have afternoon tea together? It's a beautiful day!"
"..." It would be even more beautiful if you didn't hold that red rabbit and talk to him!
…
For five or six days in a row, Qi Mu had gone from a helpless smile at the beginning to a numb acceptance at the end. Even when a member raised his rabbit Xiao Qi with a smile, Qi Mu could suddenly take out the soft and cute little rabbit from his pocket and preemptively: "Good morning!"
Wei Ai member: "… "
I hate it, I can't tease my cute chief, it's so frustrating!
After a three-week vacation in July, the members of Wei Ai have entered a busy performance period. Mr. Case also attended the concert of Wei Ai as scheduled, and in the "Voice of Vienna" that week, he expressed his thoughts on the concert and wrote a long music review.
It seems that the bitter fruit has come to an end, and it seems that it has come to an end. Now that more than half a year has passed since the "Vai Ai chief shady incident", people have forgotten the scandals that this band has had, and really focus on their strength again.
A band with remarkable strength, even if there have been twists and turns, will finally re-conquer the love of music fans with its stable and excellent music. Many fans of Wei Ai expressed emotion for the hardships Wei Ai has experienced in the past two or three years, from the accidental death of the specially invited violinist, to the shady incident last year, to the current prosperity...
The orchestra is steadily moving forward towards a brighter tomorrow.
Because it is in the non-performance season, Wei Ai's daily affairs are always very messy. Today there is a concert in Vienna, next week, he will go to Belgium, and in two weeks, he will go to Russia...
There is some rest time, but there are not too many consecutive holidays, so Qi Mu can only fly to Berlin to see the stingy and awkward man on holiday weekends, or to fly from Berlin to Vienna by the other party.
Every time they got along for a short time, it was a new marriage. Min Chen accommodated his lover's preferences and added some warm little things to the two cold apartments in Vienna and Berlin, which made them more popular. Most of the time, the two would decorate the home together and practice the piano together in the evening.
Min Chen was looking forward to the ensemble of the two, but unfortunately, in the past month or so, neither of them had time to spare for the ensemble.
"I've let Daniel help pay attention to this matter, but... you seem to need an assistant or an agent."
Listening to Min Chen's suggestion, Qi Mu thought for a while, but said with a smile, "I can handle my own affairs now, so I'll hire an agent later."
Many musicians will have their own managers, assistants, and many even set up their own studios. Especially the conductors and chiefs of big orchestras, they need special people to take care of these affairs. Currently, Qi Mu is just starting out, so it is normal to not need an agent for the time being.
In this regard, Min Chen did not force it.
After Min Chen flew from Berlin to Vienna again, the two huddled together on the sofa and listened to music. Qi Mu suddenly said, "Min Chen, today... Mr. Tuckerman said that Zaev seemed to be moving up again a few days ago. A lawsuit was filed.”
Qi Mu's tone was casual and didn't care much, while Min Chen also nodded lightly: "Well, he often does these boring things." Anyway, it won't change anything.
There was silence for a long time in the quiet and spacious living room, Min Chen was raising his hand to turn the book to the second page, when suddenly he heard a hesitant voice beside him: "Min Chen... I want to see someone ." As he spoke, Qi Mu's hand gently caressed his.
Min Chen was slightly stunned, he turned his head to look at the young man beside him.
I saw the latter's brows and eyes slightly curved, and said with a light smile: "Since the incident, I haven't seen that person again. I think about it now, in fact, I should see him and see how he is now. How is it, have you accepted the punishment that should be given?"
At this moment, Min Chen already knew who Qi Mu was referring to. Looking at his young man's reluctant smile, a dark light flashed in his dark eyes, Min Chen stretched out his arms to embrace his lover and whispered, "Okay, I'll accompany you to see him..."
Look how miserable he is.
