Zhao Qiming welcomed Qin Keguang at home and quickly asked him to take a seat. Whenever Zhao Qiming visited Qin Keguang in the past, Qin Keguang always looked like he didn't want to have any in-depth interactions with them. He probably thought that Master Qin also wanted to enjoy a peaceful life, and was worried that his status would bring him unnecessary troubles, so he really didn't invite Master Qin to various occasions. However, he never missed out on greetings and gifts during festivals.
Zhao Qiming knew that the old man, who had never bowed his head in his life and was now very aloof, actually came to him, which made him sad and moved. He said that the old man came to visit him because he liked me, Zhao. If the old man has anything to say, just tell him. No matter what it is, as long as it is within my, Zhao Qiming's reach, I will definitely do it for you.
Qin Keguang sighed, and said, "It's a private matter, which is embarrassing to talk about. So he told Qin Xizhen all about the unfair treatment he had received."
Zhao Qiming later slammed the table and stood up in anger, then he comforted Qin Keguang and made several phone calls in a row. He handled the matter with a stern and efficient expression. He said that such a thing happening at a music festival was a blasphemy to the atmosphere and fairness and justice that Shanhai City had worked hard to create, and asked the people below to hold an emergency meeting to prepare an emergency response plan.
After everything was arranged, Zhao Qiming returned to Qin Keguang, his face calmed down a lot. He didn't talk about this matter anymore. Zhao Qiming handled all the matters in front of Qin Keguang. He knew that now he didn't need "Xiao Zhao" to say any meaningless words of promise. Zhao Qiming seemed to know Qin Keguang's temper, and he didn't need to do these false routines. He just said, "Old man, who will accept your wine? You didn't treat Xiao Zhao as an outsider back then. You helped us younger generations with the delicious food from the art troupe and the daily necessities sent by the local area for the condolence performances. You cared about our development, big and small things, which one did you not worry about? To be honest, you are my second father, and I, Xiao Zhao, will never forget it. In the future, you should come to see us often. Next time, I will cook some dishes at home and invite you and your master's wife to come over. Don't refuse again..."
In recent years, Qin Keguang has been away from his job and has gradually seen more and more people become indifferent to him, with people being cold and indifferent to him. His treatment fluctuates with his status and fortune. In addition, he has also had ups and downs, so he thought that it would be better not to have expectations for some things so that he won't be disappointed.
But in fact, it may not be the case. Some successes and the heights that people reach are not accidental. Take for example the "Xiao Zhao" that I used to call myself. When some people reach a certain level and height, what they pursue in return may not be the truth of life that is worth reminiscing about.
…
After leaving Zhao Qiming's house, Qin Keguang made another phone call.
Wang Shifeng got Qin Keguang's phone number from the director of the radio station. He was flattered to learn that Qin Keguang had approached their City Voice Radio Station. He had met Qin Keguang once before. When he was in Chengdu, it was said that Qin Keguang had a short exchange in Chengdu. At that time, all the big and small people gathered at the same table. He was still interning at the radio station at that time, and he also attended the drinking party with the leader. From the shadows of the crowd, he saw Qin Keguang, who was surrounded by stars.
Others gave him a thumbs up and talked about his past glory, but he didn't seem to appreciate it. He just held the wine glass with a stiff face. Of course, the people who invited him to the banquet that day might not have wanted to borrow his fame, so their attitude towards him didn't matter. Being able to appear was a great honor. At least he could introduce people to him properly, saying that he knew Master Qin in the past and that they had a very good relationship. This unique trait of his has become an integral part of his personal charm. In the eyes of the world, how can you be considered a master if you are not unique
At that time, Qin Keguang left the impression on Wang Shifeng, who was watching from the sidelines, that he was aloof and had a strong artistic temperament, without any of the sophistication of those in officialdom or business.
This time he came to Shanhai to participate in the music festival, and the first thing he thought of was Master Qin. However, with his qualifications, he was not very good in front of Master Qin. Moreover, Qin Keguang, a master of traditional and classical music, was probably not interested in their music festival and these radio activities. Before he came, the station director gave him face-to-face instructions. After the music festival was over, he would find an opportunity to represent him and the station to visit Master Qin. This would also be a great benefit to the young man's career. If Master Qin liked him, Qin Keguang might not be well-known in the field of pop and popular music, but in the upper circles, Qin Keguang had a say.
Unexpectedly, Qin Keguang contacted the station director directly, who ordered Wang Shifeng to prepare for Qin Keguang's live radio interview. When Wang Shifeng called Qin Keguang, Qin Keguang said, "Xiao Wang, please announce that the singer who accused Zhao Le of 'plagiarizing' his work at the music festival is my daughter. I will accept your interview and explain this matter clearly."
With just this one sentence, Wang Shifeng seemed to feel the presence of thousands of troops.
…
Early in the morning, Cheng Ran received a pager from Qin Xizhen and followed him to the piano room at Dishuiyan.
The band members arrived one after another. A friendly-looking man in a shirt said goodbye to Qin Xizhen and waved when he met them. After Qin Xizhen sent the people away, Ning Yuan said to Cheng Ran from the side, "You know, the person who just came was from the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, a section chief, who said that it was a special matter and the organizer made a temporary adjustment so that we could add one more show at the main venue today. Now the music list for the guests is ready to be reprinted, and we were given a copy for verification."
Cheng Ran took the new brochure from Ning Yuan and saw Qin Xizhen's name on the last show. The festival lasted three days, and the last show of each day was not fixed. The first day ended at 9:30, yesterday was at 8:30, and today was originally scheduled to end at 8:30. If we add another show to 9 o'clock, the time will not be delayed.
But when Cheng Ran saw Qin Xizhen's name on the list, he was a little surprised by the font size, because this was the main venue.
Cheng Ran was a little surprised, "What's going on?"
Liu Pei said, "Qin Xizhen's father came forward. It was said that Minister Zhao of the Propaganda Department called us, and the main venue let us in. Moreover, his father directly stood up and asked to be interviewed to explain his daughter's situation. The interview was directly targeted at the last show, and he said that he would let Qin Xizhen clarify whether he had 'plagiarism' in the last show today."
Cheng Ran was stunned. This was clearly a bigger wave that was unfolding.
At this time, Qin Xizhen came back from seeing off the head of the Propaganda Department and happened to meet Cheng Ran. Cheng Ran asked, "Did your father do all this?"
Qin Xizhen, who was at the center of the storm, was obviously gradually adapting to this matter. She recalled last night, "... after letting me play in front of him, he took two bottles of wine and left. I knew he had never asked anyone for help in his life... but he still went. When he came back, I didn't ask anything and he didn't say anything, so now I don't know much about these things..."
It was obvious that Qin Xizhen was still at a loss.
Qin Keguang went out to ask for help last night, and the next day the section chief of the Propaganda Department contacted Qin Xizhen and told her that the road to the main venue had been paved. Whether it was clarification or explanation, a stage had been opened for her.
Then, not long after, Ning Yuan quickly brought a radio over, placed it in front of everyone, and turned up the volume.
It is the radio channel of City Sound. "Tonight, our station is honored to invite the guardian of classical and traditional music, Mr. Qin Keguang, to our live broadcast room. Qin Keguang is a master of classical and traditional music. He has created more than 40 excellent concerto works that integrate pipa, guzheng, yangqin, piano and other instruments, such as "Long Moon Night", "Can't Stay", and "Chang'an Flowers". I also regarded Mr. Qin Keguang as an idol back then... Mr. Qin Keguang has something to say in today's live broadcast. First of all, everyone has heard about the collision of two songs at the music festival. The female singer who sang is Mr. Qin Keguang's daughter. As for whether his daughter stole the song of the famous singer Zhao Le, he hopes that everyone will make a conclusion after tonight... Now let's take the interactive hotline calls from audience friends... Hello friend, there is noise over there, please turn off your radio..."
"Hey, the teacher Qin Keguang you are talking about is the composer of the movie "The King of Western Chu"? Is Teacher Qin Keguang actually in Shanhai? When will he have new works to release? And..."
One after another, calls came into Wang Shifeng's live broadcast room, and instantly all the lines were filled with red lines.
Wang Shifeng could only repeat "Hello, listener" over and over again and answer individual questions one by one.
"I'm so excited. I'm already 60 years old this year. Just like what my friend said before, Qin Keguang's music was our youth. In those years, he worked hard on his artistic life with no regrets, and composed one work after another that is worthy of being passed down through the ages... Did his daughter also participate in the music festival? That really means that his excellent genes will be passed on to future generations. Given the family tradition of Master Qin Keguang, it would be absurd to say that his daughter plagiarized!"
"Why is Mr. Qin Keguang visiting the live studio? I want to listen to the radio... 8:30 p.m., okay, okay..."
Cheng Ran then turned the FM knob on the radio and changed the frequency. As expected, some of the broadcast frequencies for the music festival were already hotly discussing the guests.
A music critic said, "Why is Qin Keguang considered a master of his generation? Because there has never been a person who has mastered the intersection of classical music and traditional folk music. At the 1984 Sino-British Music Exchange Conference, I had the honor of listening to the ensemble of Qin Keguang and the musician Picard. Picard praised Qin Keguang highly. The composer Allen at that time was moved to tears after listening to Qin Keguang's performance. That was an impact of Eastern folk music on the Western music world..."
"I didn't expect that Master Qin Keguang's daughter also participated in the music festival... It turns out that she didn't show up yesterday in order to perform at the main venue today. So it seems that Zhao Le accused Qin Xizhen of plagiarizing his work... Then, the truth will be revealed. This incident made Qin Keguang come out to support his daughter, which really makes people look forward to the performance tonight..."
What was shown on the radio channel was just the tip of the iceberg of this storm. With the news of Qin Keguang's appearance, many veteran musicians and veteran record companies such as China Record and Hong Kong Fruit, which had cooperated with Qin Keguang, also focused their attention on him.
Qin Keguang's appearance at the music festival was an earthquake for the entire southwestern music circle.
Her father, who hated the most the outside world's noise, actually showed up for her, went around asking for help, and used the reputation he had accumulated for most of his life to stand up for her. Thinking about the quarrels and disagreements with him over the years, and often seeing his lonely back like an old man, Qin Xizhen's eyes were red.
Suddenly she felt that the surroundings were very quiet. She looked up and saw Cheng Ran and the band members, all staring at her in amazement.
She wiped the water stains from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Ran said, "Your dad... is so amazing. If he had supported you earlier, you would have become famous a long time ago!"
Qin Xizhen chuckled, "My dad is a stubborn old man... He can't afford to lose face for the master!"
