Just one day after a Huaai concert in Vienna, Min Chen rushed back to Berlin to prepare for the year-end global tour. At this time, Qi Mu also returned to Wei Ai and joined the intense rehearsal.
For any top orchestra in the world, apart from the New Year's concert at the end of the year, the most important thing in a year is the global tour at the end of the year. This tour is an opportunity for a band to showcase their strengths over the past year, and an important opportunity for fans to understand the strength of the band.
And when Wei Ai's first global tour this year was held in Paris, they unexpectedly received a more enthusiastic response from music fans than in previous years. The venue was full, and even sold out the day after the ticket was issued. Such a grand event is very rare for Wei Ai.
When they toured to Tokyo, enthusiastic fans waited early at the entrance of Suntory Concert Hall, and even during the concert, the loud applause almost shook this "Japan's Music Palace"!
When the members of Viai left the Suntory Hall, everyone was walking towards the bus with their musical instruments. Suddenly, Qi Mu seemed to hear someone in the crowd calling his name. When he turned to look, he happened to see several young girls holding up fluorescent boards with the word "seven" printed on them.
Seeing Qi Mu turn his head to look at him, the two girls waved at him excitedly and shouted loudly, "Little Qi, come on!"
Speaking in Chinese, Qi Mu felt even more cordial. He smiled and waved to the two Chinese girls, then followed behind Mr. Dorensa, got in the car and left the concert hall.
This is not the first time Qi Mu has met his fans outside the performance venue. Generally speaking, classical music lovers will not follow their idols to every city as fanatical as a groupie, but this does not mean that They are not crazy.
For the musicians they love, they will also hold banners with each other's names very persistently, and they will also express their love for musicians on forums, blogs and other places.
People's liking is not divided into any field. Maybe we liked you just because of your piano sound at first, but when we got to know you better, we also fell in love with you behind the piano sound.
This year's tour of Wei Ai is two weeks later than Bai Ai's, so when Min Chen had already returned to Europe and was preparing for his last tour at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, Qi Mu had just arrived in Huaxia City B. Prepare for the show in three days.
When Min Chen called, Qi Mu happened to see a black bug the size of a little finger. After wrapping the bug with a tissue and throwing it into the trash, he smiled at the man over the phone and said, "When I saw the bug just now, I thought of you. You knocked on my door all of a sudden back then. At that time, it really scared me, I didn't expect that you would suddenly appear there."
There was also the sound of the symphony orchestra practicing the piano from Min Chen's side, speaking in Chinese, so Min Chen did not deliberately find a quiet place, but sat down directly in the auditorium of the rehearsal hall.
Hearing the young man's sweet voice, Min Chen said in a low voice, "I didn't expect you to be right next to me."
Entering City B in early December, the bitterly cold winter wind blew from Siberia, completely shrouding the city in a solemn and silent white. The coldness could already be seen with the naked eye, so Qi Mu just stood on the balcony for a while before returning to the heated room.
"It seems that the house next to you hasn't been rented out yet. How about I buy this house when?" Qi Mu thought for a while, then smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about that, tomorrow is the concert, you guys. How are you getting ready?"
"Today's rehearsal was pretty good and well prepared. At tomorrow's concert I will be the piano concerto, with Char as the conductor..."
The man's low-alcohol magnetic voice came clearly through the radio waves, his tone was low and gentle, full of doting that no members of Bai Ai could hear in their entire lives. After the two chatted for a few more words, Qi Mu said, "I wish you a successful performance tomorrow," and then hung up the phone.
Since the Huaai concert, the two have not seen each other for nearly two months. Their work and life are too busy, they really can't find time. But Qi Mu didn't feel that the warmth deep in his heart had diminished a bit. Instead, he felt that the deep thoughts filled his heart, which made him have the urge to see each other again.
True love will not gradually fade away with geographical separation, on the contrary, that yearning will gradually ferment and make love more mellow. Qi Mu reached out and pulled the thin chiffon screen in the living room, and then turned off the last light. Soon, the whole room fell into a silent darkness.
When Wei Ai performed at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in City B the next day, to everyone's surprise, even the standing seats on the second floor were full of enthusiastic and excited fans, and they performed several times. In the middle of the meeting, the orchestra was given a loud applause.
No matter how powerful Wei Ai is, he rarely sees such a situation. When the bewildered members of Wei Ai got off the stage and just walked to the backstage, the crowd of people was so frightening that they almost thought they had gone to the wrong place.
In the backstage, apart from Tan Lao, Yang Zhao, and Zhu Liyang who were standing in front of the crowd, they were all members of the China Philharmonic Orchestra and the B City Symphony Orchestra.
The members of Wei Ai can also recognize some familiar faces - after all, when Hua Ai performed in Vienna before, the two sides had some dealings. As for the "aunts and uncles" who ran up when they saw their chief, none of the members of Wei Ai knew each other.
When the members of the B City Symphony Orchestra saw Qi Mu, they happily ran over and surrounded him in a circle. Not many people came, but they were all the seniors who took great care of Qi Mu in the orchestra, so Qi Mu said this to them very humbly, even if he had just stepped down and had not had time to rest, he was not at all bored.
And what about the Victoria Ai members who were pushed aside
They could only stare, watching their lovely chief being snatched away!
"God, what are these people trying to do to our little seven?"
"Oh my God, didn't you see that lady pinched Xiao Qi's face!"
"This is what I've always wanted to do, that lady actually did it before me, she actually did it!!!"
…
The murmur of German sounded in the backstage of the concert hall of the National Centre for the Performing Arts. Fortunately, the backstage was relatively spacious, so even though more than 20 people poured in, there was no sign of congestion.
And when Mr. Dorenza came out of his command lounge, he saw such a strange scene—
The group of carefree Wei Ai members in the past were like little daughters-in-law at the moment, looking aggrieved and awkwardly watching the bunch of Chinese musicians beside them surrounded the handsome young people in the center.
Seeing Mr. Dorensa coming in, Richard from the Violin Group No. 1 ran over angrily, relying on the fact that others could not understand German, and said directly: "Mr. Dorensa, look! Qi took it away and pinched Xiao Qi's face!!! They pinched face!!!!"
Mr. Dorenza: "… "
In fact, your focus is on the latter sentence...
Deeply aware of the position of his gentle and lovely chief in the hearts of the members, Mr. Dorensa reluctantly walked in front of Mr. Tan and the others. In fact, Mr. Tan and Du Sheng had already seen Master Dorensa, and even without him speaking, Du Sheng said very excitedly: "Master Abeke Dorensa! Hello, I'm your music fan! My name is Du Sheng is now the principal violinist of the B City Symphony Orchestra."
The good-natured Mr. Dorensa smiled and shook hands with Du Sheng, then said, "Thank you for your liking, Mr. Du."
Du Sheng's English was still very good, so he quickly started talking with Mr. Dorensa.
Du Sheng said: "Mr. Dorensa, I actually went to watch your tour in S city last year. It was really great! I like Chopin under your command very much. I bought all the albums, and the sound is orthodox and loud. Excellent!"
Mr. Dorensa smiled humbly: "Actually, Du, I have also heard the music of your B City Symphony Orchestra. Xiao Qi has listened to your CDs to me before. Your voice is very dignified and powerful, and it is a very beautiful piece of music. Voice."
Wei Ai on the side: "..."
The good thing is to vent our anger, Mr. Dorenza, why are you still fighting for the enemy? !
Probably feeling the resentment of the Wei Ai crowd, Du Sheng turned his head and glanced at them quietly. The members of Wei Ai immediately turned their faces away, with a look of "Well, we are packing things, so we are not curious about what you are talking about".
Seeing such a situation, Du Sheng was not at all angry, but said with great relief: "Mr. Dorensa, we are relieved to see that the members of Wei Ai also like Xiao Qi very much. In fact, Xiao Qi was in our company before. All of us liked him when he was in the B City Symphony Orchestra. He is young, but very sensible."
While talking, Du Sheng raised his head, looked at the young man surrounded by the B City Symphony Orchestra and Huaai people not far away, and said, "Xiao Qi is a good boy, he is very talented, but he is also very hardworking. When he was in our band, he was very popular, and we gave him a lot of cute names, but unfortunately... Xiao Qi seems to be very shy and has never accepted these cute names."
Hearing this, Mr. Dorenza became curious: "Oh, Du? Have you ever given Xiao Qi any other name? I do know that it seems that the Parison Theatre once released their mascot, which is called Rabbit Xiao Qi. Are you too?"
Hearing this, Du Sheng was shocked, and then asked, "Huh? What is Rabbit Xiaoqi?!"
The members of Wei Ai who were eager to move around immediately rushed up, and one of the members took out a red, tender and fluffy rabbit from his pocket. The member shook Rabbit Xiaoqi's short legs and said, "That's it, this! This Rabbit Xiaoqi is cute!"
Du Sheng was also startled when he saw this pink and tender rabbit, and then he couldn't help laughing: "So Xiao Qi is also your mascot? In our band, he is still our little angel and the face of it. !"
Wei Ai was stunned for a moment: "... What is the little angel and... and what?"
Du Sheng thought for a while, and translated it in English irresponsibly: "That's... the one who wants people to pinch the face the most? You have to take the responsibility of pinch, face, door and face of an orchestra!"
Wei Ai everyone: "(⊙□⊙)!!! That's right, Xiaoqi is our face!!!!"
Mr. Dorensa, who felt a little weird: "...?"
Qi Mu, who didn't know that she had been sold by Du Sheng: "..."
