On the penultimate day of Wei Ai's last tour of the year, Qi Mu felt for the first time what it means to be a crowd. During the whole day of rehearsal, after Mr. Dorensa asked that very embarrassing question and Qi Mu perfunctory with a dry smile, everything began to develop in a strange direction.
The good rehearsal gradually became less stressful, and even during the afternoon tea time, a large number of Wei Ai members and staff surrounded Qi Mu and taught him various love experiences (although many of them did not have male/ girlfriend), insisted: "Xiao Qi, Mr. Bertram seems to be very strong, you must not be bullied by him! If he dares to bully you... I... We are all behind our backs. you!"
Qi Mu: "..."
So, you still dare not stand up and do the right thing with Min Chen
After such a difficult day of rehearsal, Qi Mu reluctantly smiled bitterly on the daily phone call at night: "They are all worried that you will bully me, um... So, Min Chen, is that the impression you left on everyone?"
Min Chen on the other side of the phone was very innocent: "I am a gentle and kind person."
Hearing this, Qi Mu burst into a smile: "If you told me this a year ago, I would probably still believe it. But now... Although I haven't seen with my own eyes what kind of a 'devil commander' you are, I also As you can guess, you can make all the members of Wei Ai know your 'reputation', and you are quite powerful."
Min Chen is still quibbling: "Actually, I have always been patient with the members, as you have seen, even if there is an accident such as blowing off the sound or even blowing bubbles during Hua Ai's rehearsal, I am still very patient. Guiding them peacefully without getting angry."
When he said this, Min Chen's tone was calm and unhurried, and it didn't look like he was lying at all. But in private, Qi Mu had long since learned from the mouths of the people in Bo Ai how terrible their commander was—
Yes, Min Chen rarely gets angry, but he can attack your self-confidence without a single shot and make you doubt your life.
Some people, he is more terrifying than most people when he is not angry!
Without further discussing this topic, Qi Mu recounted what happened to him that day, and after Min Chen said that his side was relatively stable, Qi Mu chuckled and said, "I was told by Richard and the others that day. It's been a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so easy... Alas, I knew it would be so troublesome to be public, and it's not bad to be an underground party."
Min Chen immediately panicked: "You won't give me a name!"
"Pfft..."
Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Qi Mu could still think of a certain man's stern and solemn appearance under the deep and dark night of Berlin. So he straightened his face, and said in a teasing tone: "You want a name..." After a pause, he said with a low smile, "Are you going to marry me?"
Min Chen: "..."
Just when Qi Mu was about to end the joke, he heard Min Chen say in a low and serious tone, "I won't marry." Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he heard the other party's low tone with a smile. Said: "I want to... marry my lover."
Qi Mu: "!!!"
In his mind, he instantly recalled that in the morning after he said he admitted that he was in the room, Mr. Dorenza couldn't believe the words "Xiao Qi, are you really in the room?", Qi Mu let out a cold snort from his nose, Said: "If you want a name, you can marry or not!" The tone threatened, and he gritted his teeth.
Min Chen: "..."
After a long while, the man's low and helpless voice sounded: "Well, marry."
After the man showed weakness like this, the young man calmed down a little. This morning, Mr. Dorensa's expressions of "Xiao Qi, you must be lying to me", "You're really there?", and "I don't believe it" finally disappeared from his mind.
After the two said a few more words, Qi Mu hung up the phone, but when he went to the Friends of Music Association building the next day, he was surprised to find that the reporters who were still blocking the door yesterday were actually All at once all disappeared!
After asking Mr. Dorensa, Qi Mu learned that in order to maintain Wei Ai's external image, the public relations department had temporarily dealt with these reporters. After all, the relationship between Qi Mu and Min Chen was really open to the public, so there was nothing to interview. Unless the parties agreed, the behavior of these reporters had already affected Wei Ai's daily activities.
And not only the public relations department of Wei Ai, but even Min Chen entrusted the relationship and suppressed the power of public opinion a little. Therefore, this morning, Qi Mu didn't even see a single person who secretly photographed.
There was a little warmth in his heart, and a bright and warm smile appeared on the young man's fair face. Qi Mu said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Dorensa, my matter has recently disturbed the orchestra's daily rehearsal. I'm really sorry."
Hearing this, Mr. Dorenza raised his head and looked at the young man standing at his desk.
From the first meeting to now, Mr. Dorensa has known Qi Mu for a year and a half. If placed a year ago, Mr. Dorensa would never have imagined that one day he would have this conversation with this sensible and diligent young man in such a position, but now, everything has happened logically. This young man became an excellent chief of Wei Ai, and performed many outstanding performances with him.
Thinking of this, Mr. Dorensa smiled slightly and said, "Actually, Xiao Qi, you don't need to feel sorry. To be honest, don't say that our rehearsal has been fully prepared, even if the matter between you and Auston really has something to do with the rehearsal. Influence, I also want to bless you more than I care more about rehearsal."
Hearing this, Qi Mu's eyes widened in surprise.
Mr. Dorensa paused and continued: "I have known Auston for almost twenty years, and I have known him since he won the first prize in the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition. At that time, he was still a young boy with full of energy and dazzling light all over his body, so young and energetic!"
Qi Mu thought about it for a while, but found that at that time he was probably still studying with a violin teacher from a piano shop, and seldom paid attention to international affairs. But Min Chen became famous at the age of five, which is true.
"Auston is a person who is not good at expressing himself, in fact, Xiao Qi, you are too. Auston always gives people a very reliable and strong feeling, and you Xiao Qi, you make people feel very gentle, Very close, but the truth is you're not very expressive. Seriously, I never thought the two of you would be together, but now that I think about it... that's a good thing."
Mr. Dorenza simply put down the sheet music in his hand, looked at Qi Mu seriously, and said with a smile: "I always thought that it might be difficult for Auston to find his beloved in this life, after all, his character is destined for him to be very good. It’s hard to take the initiative to approach others and become interested in others. But Xiao Qi, I suddenly realize that it’s not that Auston can’t love people, but that he didn’t meet you.”
How could Qi Mu not be moved by an elder who spoke to you so heartily? He whispered hoarsely, "Mr. Dorenza..."
"Xiao Qi," said the gentle and kind Mr. Dorensa with a smile, "I have known Auston for so many years, and I can say that I have watched him grow up. We are friends. I am glad that he will meet you. , and I'm so glad you met him. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever met this year to see two kids I admire so much find the other half of their lives."
In the end, Mr. Dorenza concluded in one sentence: "You guys, stay together."
The warm golden sunlight projected from the Rococo-style windows, shining a warm light color on the youth's black hair. Qi Mu nodded lightly and said seriously and solemnly: "Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Dorensa, I think... We will always be together."
…
After Qi Mu and Mr. Dorensa had a long talk that day, during the daytime rehearsal, both of them tacitly did not mention those conversations just now, but focused on the rehearsal of the orchestra.
Last week, the New York Philharmonic, the London bbc Philharmonic, the Dresden Symphony Orchestra... and even the Berlin Philharmonic each completed their last tour of the year. In 2017, I am afraid it is really the prosperous age of the symphony. Whether it is the further Wei Ai or the New Ai who has just celebrated its anniversary, it has bloomed with infinite brilliance.
Even after Bo Ai's last tour last week, "The Gramophone" also gave such a high evaluation: "This is an unprecedented concert! When Auston Bertram's piano sound from Bo Ai At the moment when the sound of the voice rose, there was only wonderful music left in the whole world. For two and a half hours, no one was tired, only the passionate music baptized the entire Berlin Philharmonic Hall!"
The stronger the "opponent", the more pressure, urgency, and motivation to keep working hard.
In the last two days of rehearsal, all the members of Wei Ai worked hard to interpret the already excellent music in a more harmonious and beautiful way.
In the end, even Mr. Dorensa sighed to Qi Mu: "I can't believe it, Xiao Qi, I have never seen these children work so hard. I think it's you who brought this kind of hardworking spirit to you. Let them keep pushing themselves forward and forward.”
Hearing this, Qi Mu said humbly, "You're really amazing, Mr. Dorenza, I didn't do anything special, I was just doing my part."
Xiaoqi is so humble, so... what do the members of Wei Ai think
"How can we be worse than Bai Ai?! No, even for Xiao Qi, we have to hold them down!"
"That's right, Xiao Qi was already held down by Mr. Bertram. If we were to be inferior to Bai Ai at the concert, then where would Xiao Qi still be in his prime!"
"Wait a minute, didn't Xiao Qi say that when he was with Mr. Bertram, he was always there?"
"... Ariel, you are too simple! Xiao Qi said so, you believe it?"
"If Xiao Qi can really suppress Mr. Bertram one day, I think we can write the name of Wei Ai upside down!"
"Hahaha, I agree!"
The crowd immediately burst into laughter.
Qi Mu, who just came out of the command lounge and was about to step into the rehearsal room: "..."
Well, let's break up...
--------
Xiao Qi: I have no face, I am not happy, I want to break up!
Min God: I will marry! ! ! !
Fuwa: _(:з"∠)_Can you have a bit of backbone, Min God...
