In early September, as the general issue of the second half of the "Voice of Vienna", a handsome and beautiful young man appeared on the cover of this issue. It was a black-haired young man with a violin and a handsome appearance. He was wearing a white shirt. Against the background of the black curtain, the black and white were distinct and very eye-catching.
Qi Mu's interview in early August was finally published in the second half of the "Voice of Vienna" general issue, and unexpectedly became a cover character.
There are not a few cases where the chief executive of Weiai has become the cover character of the magazine, but it is not all. For example, the former chief of Weiai, Leon Zayev, was not able to appear on the cover, and was only introduced on the inside page. Obviously, the same principal is also divided into high and low. Leon Zaev's violin level is indeed excellent, but it has not yet reached the level of admiration for the "Voice of Vienna".
When Qi Mu received this magazine, Mr. Tuckerman sighed repeatedly: "Case really likes your music, Xiao Qi, I think he used four pages to introduce you, This is really rare." After a pause, he suddenly thought: "Oh, by the way, who was the violinist who was on the cover last time... It's Bai Ai's Kedori! Haha, Xiao Qi, you are awesome!"
Indeed, classical music magazines like these orthodox tops, in most cases, do not feature characters as their covers. They would rather use a piano or a violin as the theme than randomly ask a musician to be their cover.
Therefore, not all musicians can be on the covers of these magazines, but as long as they are on the cover, they must be famous musicians in the industry!
And now, Qi Mu has finally joined the ranks of this group of people.
"And this time it's the cover of the general issue in the second half of the year... Xiao Qi, you are amazing! No, I need to buy a few more magazines and put them in the cafe, so everyone can have afternoon tea. Look, haha!"
Mr. Tuckerman left in a hurry, and Qi Mu looked at his back with dumbfounded laughter. After a long time, he lowered his head and turned over the thick "Voice of Vienna". It's nice to have his photo on the cover, but the official introduction is in the middle of the magazine.
Qi Mu opened the article carefully, only to see that half of the content was his interview with Mr. Case, and the other half was the evaluation written by Mr. Case himself.
Now that he has become the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Keith Zelazny's focus on musicians is naturally more than just his music. In this article, Mr. Keyes made a systematic and careful analysis from Qi Mu's growth trajectory to his musical style, and made a beautiful praise in the last few paragraphs.
Qi Mu had heard a lot of compliments, but this time, his eyes stopped on a few lines of words, and he didn't look away for a long time.
Mu Qi's piano sound is orthodox and perfect, his skills are superb, and he has meticulous control of bowing. His music is inclined to the classical school mixed with romanticism, and when combined with the romantic and beautiful Victorian love, it is a brand new world. However, I personally think that Qi's violin style is more inclined to Bai Ai, and it also has a metal-like perfect and atmospheric tone. Maybe one day, the two will have the opportunity to cooperate, which will produce a harmonious new effect.
The bright sunlight penetrated through the windows. When the orchestra's training officially started today, Qi Mu put down the magazine in his hand, pushed the door and left the chief lounge, and went to the rehearsal room to guide all the members to start a full day of practice. .
Recently, Wei Ai is recording the 2017 album of the year. After the unanimous agreement of the band members' meeting, Handel's album will be recorded this year. So before the tour in the second half of the year started, the rehearsal and recording had to be done quickly.
Mr. Dorensa has not yet been present to conduct the rehearsal, so Qi Mu, the chief executive, temporarily took his place, helping the various instrument groups to practice, adjust the timbre, and maintain the order of the audience.
Under the bright and warm sunshine in Vienna, the members of Wei Ai started a whole day of rehearsal, while in Berlin, thousands of miles away, it was the top of the dark clouds at this moment, and the dense clouds drifted over from the eastern sky. , seems to herald a late summer thunderstorm is coming.
When Daniel delivered the new issue of "Voice of Vienna" to the chief conductor's lounge, Min Chen was holding coffee in one hand and looking down at the score for the next tour season. The long score on a3 paper is almost blank, without any handwriting. At most, it is marked with a little accent symbol in very few places, which is regarded as a small reminder.
"In the magazine over there in the Propaganda Department today, I guess you must like this issue of "Voice of Vienna" the most. Would you like to take a look?"
Min Chen put the coffee lightly on the table, raised his head and looked at Daniel, only to see the latter with a wicked smile, as he raised the thick magazine in his hand. Min Chen's eyes narrowed, and he instantly saw the young man on the cover. His deep pupils suddenly widened. He directly reached out and took the magazine and began to look through it.
Daniel also came over and said with a smile: "Being the cover character of "Voice of Vienna", haha, the little angel is really not easy. By the way, this is still a semi-annual magazine! It's amazing! Don't say semi-annual magazine Well, I remember that the last time I was on the cover was... the conductor of the Munich Philharmonic, right?"
Min Chen gave a soft "um" and ignored the noise of his agent.
But Daniel continued indifferently: "Hey, this photo of the little angel is really good, and I still remember the first time I saw the little angel... Hey, it's been two years, right? He seemed to wear it that day. A red coat, tsk tsk, that's nice... um..."
The handsome and elegant man raised his phoenix eyes and looked coldly at the blond manager who was beginning to fantasize. His expression was indifferent and without a trace of emotional ups and downs, but for some reason, Daniel read a sentence from that expression—
One more word, try.
Daniel: "… "
After Min Chen lowered his head and read the report seriously, Daniel pursed his lips and whispered, "Isn't it just to praise the little angel for being good-looking... Really, it's been a long time since the little angel wore red clothes, obviously red It's more suitable for him. The little angels are wearing them, and others are not allowed to see... "
Min Chen: "... Daniel."
The blonde agent looked up: "Huh?"
"Do you need me to tell you where the door is?"
Daniel: "… "
"In your Huaxia words, Min, you... This is the bridge that crosses that bridge, and you demolish it!!!"
The blond manager left the command lounge angrily, but what he didn't know was that right after he left, the man's handsome and straight eyebrows frowned slightly, and he stared at the last few lines of the article for a long time. Do not speak.
When Qi Mu was about to fly to Berlin this weekend, Min Chen called him directly and told him that he would be in Vienna next week, and he would stay for about a week.
Surprised, Qi Mu realized that the Huaxia Philharmonic Orchestra had invited Min Chen the day before yesterday and asked him to lead the orchestra to perform a performance in Vienna as the conductor of Hua Ai.
Huaxia's classical music has made remarkable progress in recent years, especially in the past two years, it has gradually set off a classical craze. In the case of good economic development, people begin to have spare energy to care about the enjoyment of some spiritual world, and at this time, beautiful and moving music has become a good choice.
More and more children are starting to learn piano and violin, and even more unpopular ones such as horn, clarinet, and English flute have started to learn. These children are the hope of China's future classical music, and they are also the seedlings that make classical music truly spread in China.
In response to the increasingly strong atmosphere of classical music in China, Hua Ai will come to the Golden Hall for a performance this year. National Channel 1 will broadcast the concert nationwide, hoping to promote the better promotion and dissemination of this fine music atmosphere.
If you want to set a good example for young children, it is natural to invite some people who can become idols. There are not many conditions. First, it must be a Chinese person, and second, it must be a well-known figure in the classical music industry.
Therefore, Min Chen became the first person to be invited. And when he learned about the intention of this concert, even though Bai Ai's affairs were quite heavy recently, Min Chen agreed to this invitation without hesitation and planned to lead Hua Ai to perform a performance.
To cooperate with a completely unfamiliar orchestra, or even a concert that lasts up to 3 hours, for an average conductor, it may take half a month or even longer. But if the target is Min Chen, whether it is his superb commanding skills or his grasp of the sound of each instrument group, he can guarantee to compress this time within a week.
All in all, next week Min Chen will come to the Friends of Music Association building to rehearse with Hua Ai.
Hearing this, Qi Mu was overjoyed, but suddenly thought: "Oh, yes, Hua Ai invited you, it seems that he did not invite me..."
The man's low and magnetic voice sounded: "Maybe, I will invite you later?"
After chatting and laughing for a while, the two hung up the phone. Just when Qi Mu was about to finish afternoon tea and get up to go to the rehearsal hall, his phone suddenly vibrated. Qi Mu picked up the phone and saw a number starting with "86".
After being stunned for a while, Qi Mu picked up the phone and just said "Hello" in Chinese, when she heard the other side say: "Hello, is this Mr. Qi Mu Qi? I'm Huaxia Aile. The orchestra’s manager, Julie Young…”
Qi Mu: "..."
Really, for a while...
