On the day of the New Love recruiting competition, Qi Mu was walking with Min Chen on the way out of the music festival town, and Min Chen received numerous text messages and phone calls, some of them reprimanded, "Okay, since I'm here, I won't see you again. ", and some are complaining "I didn't know until I left, so you are here Min".
All kinds of text messages and phone calls are going to be bombarded in turn. The people who sent letters to condemn are basically musicians who have performance projects at the Ocean Music Festival, and those who can talk to Min Chen are naturally A long-established world-class musician.
Among these people, many Qi Mu knew, and some he had only heard of concerts, but without exception, they were all characters that it was difficult for others to meet.
Some masters are not as good as Mr. Swell, and across the phone, Qi Mu could hear the roaring in English: "Helen, why can't you even play the etude? Break time? It's about to end, if you don't get this song ready, you can give me the score later!!!... Hey Min, you really don't have enough friends, I'm back in Canada, you want to invite me to dinner, Have a meal!"
I saw Min Chen nodded calmly and calmly said: "Okay, I'll treat you."
"Helen! Your third bar fifth note is wrong again! You left your fingers at home..."
The stern and elegant man hung up the phone without hesitation, completely cutting off the voice over the receiver.
Qi Mu: "..."
This call is from Mr. Nagano, the chief conductor of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. It is said that the master just returned to Canada from the music festival today. He only learned from Mr. Swell a few minutes ago that Min Chen actually attended his concert, but he didn't. I was really angry that I didn't tell him anything.
But with such a world-class conductor, Min Chen still hung up the phone without blinking... If the younger generation who wanted to communicate with the master knew about this, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. It doesn't stop there.
Compared to Qi Mu's helplessness, Min Chen seemed very calm. He waved his hand and came to a taxi. As soon as the two got into the car, Qi Mu sighed softly and said, "Today... I'm really bothering you. I didn't expect your identity to be revealed. It's so troublesome, I finally understand Daniel's mood."
Min Chen was stunned when he heard the words, a trace of confusion flashed in his dark phoenix eyes, and he asked, "Trouble?"
Qi Mu nodded: "Well, many masters called and sent text messages to question you, and Mr. Nagano seemed to ask you to treat you just now."
After arriving in the taxi, Min Chen finally took off his black top hat. He leaned back on the back of the comfortable chair, and said with a leisurely expression: "No trouble, they are just in contact with feelings, if they don't contact today, they will contact tomorrow. Yes." After a pause, as if remembering something, Min Chen added: "I just said casually about dinner, I won't really invite him."
Qi Mu: "..."
Seemingly unaware of the young man's speechless expression, Min Chen pressed his fingers against his thin lips and whispered, "His appetite is too much, I can't afford it."
Qi Mu: "..."
It's just that one person's appetite is not that of an elephant!
Besides, even if you want to invite an elephant, are you really going to get up
Perhaps it was Qi Mu's long silence and silence that finally caught Min Chen's attention, and he turned slightly to look at Qi Mu. Looking at the young man's ambiguous expression, the man pondered for a while, and said, "Today... I've caused you a little trouble. If you don't mind, I'll invite you to dinner tonight."
Qi Mu: "...Actually, my appetite is not small."
"… "
Obviously, this "severe" rejection deeply hurt a certain master's fragile mind. Along the way, Min Chen didn't say a word again, which made Qi Mu a little uncomfortable.
He tentatively looked at the man beside him, and saw that the other party looked out of the window with an indifferent expression. The brilliant colors of the sunset shone on that stern face, softening the tough lines a bit.
After thinking about it for a long time, Qi Mu asked cautiously, "...Actually, my appetite can still be controlled?"
Qi Mu didn't wait for an answer after saying this for a long time. He was amused and helpless at the same time: it was the first time he saw someone begging to invite someone to dinner, but when he let go, the person was not happy anymore, really...
“Nice steak house near the hotel.”
"… "
-------
The three-day rehearsal time is indeed very tense for a large-scale symphony orchestra. Even the New York Philharmonic Orchestra has picked up 120,000 points of attention. A Symphony was rehearsed perfectly.
In fact, when Mr. Swell chose Qi Mu as the guest principal, others in the orchestra had some objections. Originally, they had already rehearsed the song with the substitute for two days. If they could perform directly with the substitute, it should be much easier.
But Mr Swell's good-natured personality doesn't mean he lacks any prestige in the orchestra. Since Mr. Swell made a decisive decision, no one dared to say a negative opinion, so Qi Mu successfully came to the rehearsal of this world-class big orchestra - the New York Philharmonic on the second day of the recruitment competition. Hall, rehearse with the crowd.
Sibelius' piece Qi Mu had not been specially trained before, and he had only practiced this "First Symphony" a few times. There were still some difficulties during the rehearsal.
Mr. Swell smiled and asked him to rest first. After New Love had rehearsed all the repertoires of the show in the afternoon, Qi Mu officially returned to the chief position and continued the rehearsal.
The results of the whole day made the other musicians in New Love a little worried. But what they never expected was that it was only the second day that this violinist from Huaxia magically integrated into their orchestra, inserting his own voice into the orchestra in the most reasonable way, Then fade away perfectly.
By the end of the last "Symphony No. 1" rehearsal the next evening, Qi Mu had already been able to lead the entire orchestra for a formal performance, and it should be no problem if he needed to practice a few more times on the last day.
Even Mr. Swell complimented: "Qi, you really have a very good talent, and I look forward to working with you the day after tomorrow."
But when the chief left, these New Love musicians immediately walked up to Qi Mu's side enthusiastically like unrestrained children, and asked one by one.
"Qi, it's only been one day, why are you so different? Did you start a small kitchen for tutoring at night?"
"Yes, Qi, although your "Number One" was good yesterday, it didn't work well with the orchestra. How could it have changed so much today?"
"I heard that you seem to know Mr. Bertram. Did he direct you outside the orchestra?"
…
The series of questions really made Qi Mu not know where to answer first, and in the end he had to quickly make a "pause" gesture, and then smiled helplessly: "After I went back last night, I carefully recalled everyone's performances in my mind. I went through it once and performed some simulation performances, so I will be more cooperative with everyone today.”
"Huh? A mock show? What is this?"
"Thinking all over again... My God, Qi, are you right?"
"How can you remember the sound of all of us? God, I've only heard of Mr. Bertram's amazing ear and memory."
…
The musicians in New Love are mostly Americans, including yellow-skinned Asians, black-skinned Africans, and of course more white-haired whites. But I don't know if it's because of a good-natured commander, the members of New Love are very friendly. Although they complained a little about Qi Mu's repeated mistakes at first, after getting familiar with each other, everyone can even laugh happily. This relieved Qi Mu's originally worried mood a lot.
Perhaps because of the ocean, although there are many bands in the Americas, they are not as competitive as in Europe.
Of course, Qi Mu always believed that a sinister villain like Luo Yusen would always be rare anywhere.
A truly powerful musician will only prove everything with his own strength, instead of doing some dirty tricks behind it. Although Qi Mu still doesn't know who he was blocking his way, he is not in a hurry, because the development of things always exceeds his expectations, I am afraid—
It was not far from his return to the continent that gave birth to classical music.
…
The three-day rehearsal time came to an end quickly, and the reputation of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra had already been promoted at the festival. This sudden recruitment event also set off a small climax for New Love's performance, especially when someone learned that even Min Chen appeared at this music festival, the Hong Kong City Ocean Music Festival's performance Tickets were sold out within hours!
As for New Love's concert tickets
Come on, it's already out of stock!
And Qi Mu, who was qualified to play with New Ai this time, was quickly identified by enthusiastic fans.
Sure enough, how could someone who can get Mr. Swell's approval be an ordinary person
At the age of 13, he won the Junior Menuhin International Violin Competition champion, and at the age of 14 he performed with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.
And now, this talented young man is actually the assistant principal of the B City Symphony Orchestra!
And after knowing this, some musicians finally conceded defeat willingly: "Everyone is so good at this, it really is more than one person, and it's maddening!"
All in all, the fame of Niu Ai, Qi Mu and Min Chen was superimposed together, which eventually led to the warm atmosphere on the seventh day of the opening of the music festival, which was so hot that the Hong Kong city was about to explode.
Numerous cars drove into the town from all directions of the port city, almost causing a small traffic jam.
And when New Love's concert officially opened, everyone's nervous anticipation was already written on their faces, just waiting...
That Sibelius "First Symphony" sounded!
