Dreams of the Fragrant River

Miller is an ordinary American youth, but also a crazy music fan. [;Starting]

Unlike today's young Americans who are obsessed with rock and roll, Miller likes traditional music, especially symphony, which makes his friends nickname him "Sixteenth Century Master".

Today is New Year's Day. Miller's parents plan to go to a movie with the whole family to celebrate, but Miller refuses to go because he wants to stay at home and watch live TV.

The New Year's Concert at the Los Angeles Music Center invited the famous conductor Bernstein and played by the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra, which is a must for a symphony fan. Unfortunately, the concert tickets were too expensive and sold out early, so Miller could only watch live TV at home.

The whole family went to the movies, and Miller was the only one left at home. Just as the concert was about to begin, Miller's girlfriend, Jenny, arrived.

Jenny said angrily, "Oh, my sixteenth-century master, today is the first day of the new year, so can't you go out to see a movie with me?"

"Sweetheart, don't make a fuss, the concert is about to start." Miller stared intently at the TV.

Jenny sat down on the sofa helplessly, what can she do when she encounters such a superb boyfriend?

In fact, Bernstein was not just a conductor and composer, he was a television personality. When Miller and Jenny were young, Bernstein popularized music knowledge on TV shows. His elegant conversation and handsome appearance, but he added countless fans, including many children's fans.

It was at the age of six that Miller became fascinated with classical music by Bernstein's TV show, and now he is learning to play the violin.

The concert has started on the TV, and Miller listened quietly to the performance, his arms dancing gently to the symphony rhythm from time to time. Beside him, his girlfriend Jenny had fallen asleep on the sofa.

Before I knew it, more than two hours passed with the music, and Miller's parents and younger siblings had gone home after watching the movie.

"Oh, this gentleman is still listening to his concerts," scoffed Miller's brother Tom.

Miller turned a deaf ear to his brother's words. Still staring at the TV.

Suddenly, the host of the concert came onto the stage. Miller thought the host would announce the end of the concert, but the host said: "Tonight's last performance, we invited a mysterious performer. He From the ancient and mysterious East, the musical instrument he used to play has a history of at least 7,000 years. This is a prehistoric musical instrument and a court musical instrument in China for thousands of years. Please come from Hong Kong's Kang, and his Chinese Ocarina!"

A young Asian man walked up to the stage and waved at Bernstein on the podium and the orchestra members. He bowed again to the audience. Said in Chinese: "Hello everyone. My name is Kang Jianfei, from Hong Kong, China, and I bring you a song. This is a song I created myself, and I hope my friends in the United States will like it."

Miller, who was watching TV seriously just now, suddenly exclaimed, "Oh. Damn, what is this Chinese doing here? Playing the ocarina at the symphony concert, which **** came up with a bad idea."

Miller's shouting immediately woke up the sleeping Jenny, and the rest of the family ran over, and his father asked, "What happened?"

Miller pointed to the TV and said, "The Chinese wants to play the ocarina at the symphony concert, and he is also the conductor of Master Bernstein, and the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra will accompany him!"

Jenny smiled and said: "The Chinese all look alike. He has the same face as Bruce Lee (Bruce Lee), both of them are flat."

"Listen to him," Miller's father said. "I don't think the Los Angeles Music Center is going to pick anyone up."

Between the few people talking, the performance has started, the violin and the inaudible piano sounded first.

After a prelude, the quaint and desolate Xun sound suddenly sounded, like an echo from the ancient times. It's like a call from deep mountains and valleys.

After listening for only a few seconds, Miller was suddenly stunned, and muttered to himself, "Oh, you buy cake!"

At this time, in the concert hall of the Los Angeles Music Center, countless audience members who came to listen to the symphony were also stunned.

It's not that the symphony is so good that it kills the symphony in seconds, but these music fans have listened to the symphony many times, but it is the first time to listen to Tao Xun's performance, and the feeling is naturally shocking. It's like a Chinese music fan who has been listening to the polls all of a sudden when he is suddenly in the middle of a live performance by a symphony orchestra. It definitely makes the hairs stand up all over his body, and his heart is deeply shocked.

Bernstein is worthy of being a master. He arranged and rehearsed the composition for a total of three hours, but the effect sounded far better than the version arranged by Li Fanyu. The combination of various Western musical instruments and Tao Xun does not seem abrupt and isolated at all, and there is a sense of harmony that complements each other.

"Clap clap clap..." After the performance of the song, there was a wave of applause in the concert hall.

For these audiences, Kang Jianfei's appearance was a complete surprise. Although he was not playing a symphony, the novel instrument and style of music made them very useful.

Kang Jianfei put down Tao Xun and said into the microphone, "The next one is Tao Xun's solo—."

This time there is no accompaniment, but the music played is more pure. That voice, just like its name, seems to come from the clouds outside the sky, ethereal and ethereal, sometimes changing for no reason, taking the audience to fly in the sky.

Before Miller could speak in front of the TV, his girlfriend Jenny was already pleasantly surprised: "Wow, such a clean voice, I like this song. Miller, what's that Chinese called?"

"How do I know?" Miller shrugged. "But this song is really good."

On the TV, the concert has come to an end, conductor Bernstein is shaking hands with the orchestra players, and Kang Jianfei is shaking hands with everyone to celebrate.

Bernstein patted Kang Jianfei on the shoulder and said, "Kang, your performance is great. I have already promised Columbia Records to arrange for your other ten songs."

"Thank you so much." Kang Jianfei laughed.

Columbia has already recorded a part of the album with the accompaniment of Chinese instruments brought over from Hong Kong, and asked Bernstein to arrange the music, naturally creating another version. When the two arranger versions are released together, it depends on which music fans prefer to buy. Maybe many people will choose both versions together.

Due to the presence of the master Bernstein, the concert attracted more than a dozen journalists. before the concert starts. These reporters didn't care about Kang Jianfei, but when the concert ended, Kang Jianfei was surrounded by reporters.

The next day, the entertainment section headlined the news that Bernstein was conducting. After the news, the newspaper reported Kang Jianfei's performance in about 500 words. The title was: "Mysterious performer appeared in concert, and the sound of ancient musical instruments amazed the audience."

The content of the report is very simple, it is just a description of Kang Jianfei's appearance, and ordinary readers will not read more. However, people in the American music industry and symphony lovers were deeply impressed by Kang Jianfei, and many people were inquiring about Kang Jianfei's specific situation. This is mainly the effect of Bernstein and live TV.

And the day after the concert ended. Some radio stations in the United States also began broadcasting tracks from the album. Kang Jianfei came to Los Angeles to record a variety show on tla TV.

The program is not specially recorded for Kang Jianfei, he is just one of the invited guests, in addition to some guests from India, Japan, Egypt, the Philippines and other countries. The theme of the program is the different customs and cultures of different countries.

There are two hosts, one male and one female. Until the show started recording, Kang Jianfei felt like a fool at the mercy of others. The most important thing is that he couldn't hear what these people were saying when recording the program, and Liu Hongsheng had to sit next to him to translate for him, but once several others spoke at the same time, he was completely blinded.

Seeing that the camera was not facing him, Kang Jianfei took the opportunity to whisper to Liu Hongsheng, "I think Columbia is just playing me. What's the publicity effect of this kind of show?"

Liu Hongsheng said: "This show is very popular in the western region, and the ratings have always been high. You play once on the show. The publicity effect is even better than the performance at the Los Angeles Music Center last night."

The guests from Japan and Egypt next door were quarreling over the clothes of their own women, and Kang Jianfei couldn't join the battle group, so he had to chat with Liu Hongsheng.

Fortunately, Kang Jianfei came only to promote music, and Columbia Company also communicated with the program team and specially asked him to play a piece of Tao Xun during the recording.

After Kang Jianfei finished playing. Sure enough, it shocked a bunch of foreigners in the show studio. But these guys just complimented a few words, and it turned into something bragging about their respective countries.

"It's good music, but Philippine music is also good."

"We also have many good national musical instruments in Japan, such as the shamisen, which is very distinctive."

"Egypt is not bad. Many modern musical instruments are derived from ancient Egyptian musical instruments. For example, modern guitars are ancient Egyptian lutes."

"..."

Kang Jianfei was too lazy to argue with them. He thought that he had finished recording today's program, but in the last interactive session, an episode suddenly appeared.

The guest from India suddenly walked up to Kang Jianfei and said, "I heard that you Chinese know kung fu~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I want to learn from you."

This was purely an accident. The host couldn't help but look at the director, who nodded and gestured to continue.

With a surprised expression, Kang Jianfei said in Chinese, "Isn't Sange good at climbing trains and dancing? How about changing to martial arts? I can sing one, or if we collaborate on a song, how about I accompany you to dance? Medications, check out, a set of pancakes and fruits..."

Liu Hongsheng was in a cold sweat and didn't know how to translate it.

The Indian guest said: "I practice Indian Kalaripayat fighting skills, and I came here to ask for Chinese Kung Fu."
