Dreams of the Fragrant River

Kang Jianfei is very famous for the Los Angeles Music Center, because in his memory of another time and space, nine out of ten Oscars were held here. [;Starting]

The later Los Angeles Music Center consists of four parts: the concert hall, the theater, the stage for dramatic music and the Disney Concert Hall. However, at this time, the construction of the Disney Concert Hall has not yet begun, and the dramatic music stage has just been completed, which is far less powerful than it was later.

Due to the conflict between Kang Jianfei and the ghost Charlie, Abel brought another white man named Jansen the next day.

Compared with that Charlie, Janssen is completely two extremes. As soon as the guy met, he ran to hug Kang Jianfei and praised with a smile: "Oh, Kang, I have heard your music, it's really great, it reminds me of my hometown in Holland."

After listening to Liu Hongsheng's translation, Kang Jianfei also hugged the foreign devil and patted his shoulders and said, "I like the Netherlands very much. The flamenco dance there is great."

"Cough," Liu Hongsheng coughed and translated awkwardly, "Mr. Kang said he likes windmills and tulips in the Netherlands."

Janssen smiled: "Thank you, I have the opportunity to invite you to the Netherlands as a guest. In fact, I haven't gone back for more than ten years."

After the two were polite to each other, Janssen said: "Kang, your publicity task is very easy. You only need to perform a few shows in Los Angeles and New York, do a few TV shows, and we will also promote it through radio channels. A concert is a New Year's concert, it's a symphony, and Columbia has taken a lot of effort to put your program in it."

Kang Jianfei asked, "What do you mean, let me use Tao Xun as a halftime performance in a symphony concert?"

Jansen nodded and said, "Yes, and the conductor and performance team of this concert are top-notch. The concert will be broadcast live on the music channel of the TV station."

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "It seems that you really put in a lot of effort."

Kang Jianfei followed Jansen and came to the concert hall of the music center, where the staff were still doing the final equipment debugging.

Jansen brought Kang Jianfei to an old white man and introduced, "This is Mr. Bernstein, the world's top symphony conductor."

Kang Jianfei didn't know anything about symphony, and he didn't know what a heavyweight person was in front of him. He shook hands with him easily and said, "Hello, old gentleman."

After shaking hands, Bernstein did not speak to Kang Jianfei, but said to Janssen, "You just let this young man use Chinese instruments to make trouble at my concert? He will disturb the whole atmosphere of my concert."

Janssen asked, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, let him play after the concert, or I'll strike!" Bernstein said.

Janssen shrugged. "But we've made a deal, haven't we?"

Bernstein said angrily: "But when you asked me to direct, you didn't say that there would be a program in the middle. I didn't know until last night."

Kang Jianfei looked at the two foreign devils arguing and couldn't help asking, "What are they talking about?"

Guan Zhilin said: "The old gentleman said to put your show at the end, otherwise it will disrupt the atmosphere of the concert."

"What's the origin of this old man?" Kang Jianfei asked Liu Hongsheng.

"You don't even know him?" Liu Hongsheng was extremely surprised. He felt that since Kang Jianfei was playing music. Then you must have heard of Bernstein. "Mr. Bernstein is a world-renowned music conductor, composer and music educator. More than three years ago, Austria held the 'Bernstein' Music Festival in recognition of his contribution to music."

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Although I don't know what this old man has done, it sounds like he is very powerful."

Liu Hongsheng said: "The old gentleman is 62 years old. In recent years, he rarely conducts performances in person. This time he can come to conduct the concert, and it will be broadcast live on TV, which will definitely attract a lot of attention."

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "In this way, Columbia Records can put me in this concert, it's really a great way."

Liu Hongsheng also smiled and said, "Actually, this concert was held at Columbia's expense."

Kang Jianfei said, "Understood, it turns out that I was the head of a concert."

Janssen and Bernstein had finished arguing. He turned around and said to Kang Jianfei: "Kang, Mr. Bernstein wants to listen to your music first. If he is not satisfied, you can only play it last."

"No problem." Kang Jianfei said after taking out Tao Xun.

The staff brought in the microphone, connected the audio equipment, and made a gesture to Kang Jianfei.

Bernstein saw Kang Jianfei take out a little guy, and asked Jansen in surprise: "What is that? Is it an Ocarina flute? It's a little different."

Jansen said: "A Chinese ocarina."

between the two talking. Kang Jianfei had already exhaled and played, and a melodious Xun music reverberated in the concert hall. Not only Bernstein, but the band members who were still working on their instruments, as well as the concert staff, were attracted by the sudden sound.

Unconsciously, Kang Jianfei was surrounded by people, listening to Kang Jianfei's playing.

In this concert hall, the members of the orchestra are all first-class performers in the United States. Even the employees of the concert hall are immersed in music every day, and naturally they can hear the extraordinary things in Kang Jianfei's sound.

It's not that they fell in love with Kang Jianfei's music, but when these musicians saw a musical instrument they had never heard before, it was like seeing a peculiar sword with a sword master. What's more, Kang Jianfei also brought a set of powerful swordsmanship - a melodious tune, which naturally made these people happy.

Bernstein was also attracted, he was a world-class composer himself, and this very different style of instruments and music brought him great surprises. After the performance of the song, Bernstein took the lead in applauding.

"Excellent!" Bernstein's antipathy towards Kang Jianfei had long gone, so he came over and shook hands with Kang Jianfei again and asked, "Sir, can you lend me your musical instrument?"

"Of course, I can give you one," Kang Jianfei said after learning from Liu Hongsheng that the old man was a world-class master, taking out Tao Xun from his bag and handing it to Bernstein, " Mr. Jiu Yang's name, I like your music very much, this is my meeting gift."

When Liu Hongsheng translated this, he had the urge to roll his eyes. Kang Jianfei didn't know Bernstein a quarter of an hour ago.

Bernstein took Tao Xun and groped for a while, pressed the sound hole and tried to play it a few times, and said, "It's similar to the ocarina, but the timbre is a little different. My friend from China, can you introduce it to me? ?"

The director of the concert ran over and said, "Master Bernstein, it's time to rehearse."

"Let's talk about it later." Bernstein saw the good instruments and music at first glance, and it seemed that Hong Qigong had seen a novel dish, and he had already put aside today's rehearsal.

Kang Jianfei may not know about other things, but he knows all the relevant information about Tao Xun, so he shows off immediately: "This musical instrument is called Tao Xun, and it was born in prehistoric times, at least 7,000 years ago. , which has been unearthed in prehistoric sites in China. It has been an elegant instrument loved by princes and nobles since the history of China. It was praised and praised in Chinese poetry more than 2,000 years ago, and it has been handed down as a court instrument. In modern times, after the demise of the Qing Dynasty, this ancient musical instrument was in danger of being lost. By the 1930s, it was no longer seen in public performances. Now there are more than one billion Chinese in the world, who should know this musical instrument. With only double digits, I hope to save this ancient instrument that is on the verge of loss."

Liu Hongsheng translated Kang Jianfei's words, which immediately attracted the awe and praise of these musicians. Westerners' impression of China is mysterious and ancient, and now a Chinese musical instrument from the prehistoric era has suddenly appeared, which is very in line with Westerners' understanding and imagination of China. And Kang Jianfei, the protector of the national musical instrument, is naturally a very respectable music peer.

Bernstein was no exception. He felt that the Tao Xun in his hand was not only a musical instrument, but also cultural relics and works of art. The musical instruments of the prehistoric era have a long heritage, and they are really high-end and atmospheric.

"Kang, what was the name of the piece you just played?" asked Bernstein.

Jansen didn't wait for Kang Jianfei to answer, and said quickly, "Hey, this is the music that Mr. Kang created himself, and it has been recorded and sold in Asia. This song is one of the eleven pieces of the album."

When he heard that Kang Jianfei was still a composer, Bernstein had a better impression of Kang Jianfei and said with a smile, "Kang, I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you before, thinking you were a speculator who wanted to become famous through concerts. Your music is very good. Great, but are you going to play solo at the concert?"

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes, if it wasn't a solo~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I would have come to rehearse with the band long ago."

Bernstein asked, "Can I listen to your records?"

Janssen immediately called someone to bring it, in fact they sent a record to Bernstein yesterday, and the old gentleman was not interested in listening to it at all.

After listening to the eleven pieces, all the performers in the concert hall looked at Kang Jianfei squarely. Although some people don't like this kind of instrument very much, they can still distinguish the quality of the music, and naturally they have a higher opinion of the composer Kang Jianfei.

Many of the accompaniment instruments on the record are Chinese instruments, and Bernstein couldn't make out what they were. After listening, he asked Kang Jianfei: "Kang, I want to put your performance at the end of the concert."

Janssen became depressed when he heard it, and before he had time to speak, Bernstein added: "It's not a solo."

Kang Jianfei was waiting for Liu Hongsheng to translate, and Liu Hongsheng said in surprise: "Mr. Kang, Master Bernstein means that he will temporarily arrange for your piece, and let these Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra performers accompany you!"
