Metropolis: I Can Modify The Production Date Of Everything!

Lin Xuan sent a message to Sun Kai.

Sun Kai didn't know about it when he came here before. After learning about it from Zhou Qingquan, Sun Kai made sure to invite Lin Xuan to play again at Yanyun Club.

The last time I came here, I worked with the merchant captain and Lan Xirou to deal with the tomb robbers.

So I didn’t really play much.

Sun Kai sent a message to Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan just happened to go take a look today.

When the car arrived at Yanyun Club, Xuan took out his card at the front desk to register.

"Sir, there is something wrong with the system today. Please tell me your name and phone number, and I will help you register.

After coming here last time, Zhou Qingquan got Lin Xuan a VIP card.

This is Lin Xuan’s first time using it.

But by chance, a system failure that hasn't happened once in three years happened to me?

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand: "I'll write it myself."

"Why did the system suddenly fail?"

The front desk was speechless: "I don't know which construction site is nearby, and the optical cable was cut."

"We are using wireless signals inside now."

"The computer at the front desk does not have a wireless card, so it cannot be used."

Lin Xuan nodded, then this was a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, so it couldn't be fixed.

No matter how high-end the club is, if someone digs out the network cables and wires, it will be zero.

What's more, Yanyun is pretty good and has built a signal using a wireless network.

Lin Xuan was writing when laughter came from behind: "Hahahaha, Brother Lin!"

Lin Xuan turned around: "Hey, Sun Kai, this is..."

Sun Kai was tall and a girl in high school uniform stood there.

Sun Kai: "My sister, Sun Wei."

Sun Kai: "Let's go in.

Front desk: "Hello sir, could you please also register?"

Sun Kai was suddenly speechless: "Uh... I am..."

Sun Wei pulled Sun Kai, and Sun Kai was speechless: "Okay, I'll register.

The receptionist didn't know Sun Kai, so it was incredible.

However, Sun Kai probably rarely visited his home club.

After all, this club is a place for trading antiques and watching Beijing opera.

Sun Kai himself probably doesn't like it here.

It was just to suit him, so I asked Lin Xuan to meet him here.

Lin Xuan: "Let me write it for you."

With a stroke of his pen, Lin Xuan wrote down the names of Sun Kai and Sun Wei.

Sun Kai was confused: "Do you know my sister?"

Lin Xuan: "I don't know him."

Sun Wei was also curious: "Then how did you know that my name is this Wei?"

Several people walked up, Lin Xuan smiled.

"It's very simple, Sun Kai, the name here should come from "Beifeng Kaifeng": Kaifeng comes from the south, blowing the thorny heart. The thorny heart is young, and the mother's family is tired.

"It's about filial piety."

"Then." Lin Xuan: "Your sister's name should also be about filial piety, and it also comes from the Book of Songs."

"That's why I came from "The Book of Songs·Ge Tan": If you tell the master, tell me and return home. If you don't dirty my private life, if you don't wear my clothes, if you do harm, return to your parents.

The sentence "Kaifeng" in the Book of Songs means that the gentle breeze blows on the buds of the jujube tree from the south. The jujube tree buds are tender and strong, and the mother is working hard to raise her children. 900

I told the housekeeper what I was thinking, saying that I really wanted to go back to my parents' home. Wash your underwear quickly. Wash your coat quickly, whether washed or not, and go back to your parents' home to see your parents.

Poetry in the pre-Qin era was relatively direct and liked to use progressive writing methods.

"Ding!" The elevator arrived.

Several people get on the elevator.

Sun Kai: "Awesome, can you memorize the Book of Songs?"

Lin Xuan smiled: "It seems that your parents like ancient literature very much, but in the antique business, it is normal to like ancient literature."

Sun Kai: "By the way, I took the liberty to bring my sister here today because she heard that you are very good at the piano, so she wanted to come and get to know you.

Sun Kai himself studied suona, and his sister should also study folk music.

But as a little girl, her hands hurt when playing dulcimer and guzheng, so the piano might be a little better.

Therefore, when I was young, I strongly requested to learn piano or something, which is very common in the folk music circle.

Lin Xuan: "Like piano?"

Sun Juan nodded: "Yeah.

"Hahaha, it's a good hobby." Lin Xuan looked at Sun Juan and smiled:

"The uniforms of high school students today are really nice. They are not like the blue and white uniforms we had at that time."

Sun Kai: "Protruding! Hit the vital point!"

"I have only graduated from high school two years ago. At that time, we wore black and white school uniforms, but now we have changed to these little suits."

Abreu scratched his head: "We are different."

Lin Xuan turned around and said, "You are wearing traditional Mongolian clothing?"

Abreu: "The red and white uniforms we wear."

The three people looked at each other and laughed.

After getting out of the elevator, Sun Kai began to introduce:

"We usually perform Peking opera here. There are no Peking opera performances in the morning, only in the afternoon and evening."

"Some more trendy stuff will be performed here in the morning."

Lin Xuan nodded: "No matter what industry, it must be modernized, even if it is an industry that pays attention to ancient culture.

Sun Kai: "The main thing is that the actors who sing Peking Opera can't sing all the time. Haha, there are not many people in the Liyuan now."

Sun Kai: "Let's watch the show in the lobby outside."

The few of us had nothing to talk about today, so there was no need to sit inside.

After sitting down, Sun Kai ordered a few cups of tea. The foreman in the hall knew Xiao Kai, and was surprised when he saw Sun Kai: "Young Master, are there any arrangements for your visit today?"

Sun Kai waved his hand: "I'm just here to have fun with my friends. You guys are busy with your business."

Shaodongjia, such an ancient title.

After tea was served, Butterfly Lovers was playing the violin on the stage.

Sun Wei stared at Lin Xuan carefully, and then looked at Lin Xuan's fingertips.

Lin Xuan smiled: "Are you afraid of talking to strangers?"

Sun Wei blushed and bought it.

Lin Xuan: "If you have anything, just ask."

Sun Juan: "My brother said that you are very good at playing the piano. There is no pianist in the world with better fingering and rhythm than you, but why haven't I heard of you?"

"You must be no more than twenty-four years old, right?"

Lin Xuan: "Almost twenty-three."

Sun Juan: "Then I didn't see you in the Young Pianist Competition held in Haicheng this year."

Sun Kai: "That's silly. Isn't Lin Xuan bullying children by participating in the Young Pianist Competition?"

"Go to Nanshan Nursing Home and kick Beihai Kindergarten."

Sun Wei thought that Sun Kai was bragging when he told him that Lin Xuan was great.

I never expected that Sun Kai would say this again.

Lin Xuan smiled: "I don't know how to do this, so what's the use of participating in a piano competition?"

Not to mention the World Young Pianist Competition in Haicheng, Lin Xuan was not interested even in the performance opportunities at the Boston World Youth Piano Competition or the Vienna Golden Hall.

Sun Wei: "My father said that you must apply what you learn, and you must use it to test your learning results."

Lin Xuan thought for a while: "Your father is right, I agree with this statement."

Sun Juan thought for a moment: "Can I hear you play the piano?"

Lin Xuan looked left and right: "Is there a piano?"

Sun Kai smiled: "Brother Lin, you can look down on me, but you can't look down on my dad's money."

"Steinway's best piano, there is one in this building.

"If you want to play the piano, you must not use an electronic keyboard or a low-quality piano. I'll have someone carry it out."

“The last time anyone played that Steinway here was when they invited the pianist Lang Lang over.

Lin Xuan: "Okay, you arrange it, and I'll...

Lin Xuan turned to look at Sun Kai's sister Sun Wei: "What do you want to hear?"

Sun Juan: ""Elegy"."

Lin Xuan nodded and took a sip of tea: "Hmm? This tea is good."

"The Dahongpao of the Min Kingdom." Sun Kai smiled: "Otherwise, why do you think the foreman came to take a look."

Lin Xuan nodded: "It tastes good. Next time you go to Haicheng, I will treat you to a drink of Dahongpao from the Qing Dynasty.

The production of black tea like Dahongpao is extremely low, and before modern times, very few existed.

The big red robe in the cup cost four thousand silver dollars and one tael back then.

At that time, Brother Xun bought a three-in-one courtyard house in the Second Ring Road of Yanjing for only 3,800 silver dollars.

If a house were used to measure the stock price, it would have been worth 500 million that year.

If it were valued based on the price of rice, this thing would have been worth tens of millions back then.

Nowadays, the price is high.

Sun Kai was surprised for a moment, and then said quietly: "I don't know much about tea, so it would be a waste to drink it for me. If my dad heard that he could drink Dahongpao from the Qing Dynasty, he would be shameless and come to visit."

After the violin performance of "Butterfly Lovers" was over, the staff immediately went to carry the Steinway.

If you want to lift a Steinway, you can't make any mistakes. It costs millions, and if a bit of patent leather is knocked off, the staff can't afford to pay for it.

So they called a dozen people, circled around the piano, and started to perform without any accidents.

The piano was placed on the stage, and Lin Xuan glanced at it: "Then I'll play "Elegy"."

Sun Kai was puzzled: "It's really a tragic song. Just play whatever you want to show her."

Lin Xuan smiled: “It’s better to choose casually than to choose specifically.

Rachmaninov's "Elegy".

"Fantasy Pieces" was composed in the autumn of 1892 and is the first solo piano piece co-written by Rachmanino.

This work was created against the backdrop of the Great Famine in the Woolly Bear Country in 1890-1891.

During this difficult period, Rachmaninov not only suffered from financial constraints, but also suffered from depression.

Rachmaninoff expressed melancholy and sentimentality when writing this collection of sketches.

At that time, Rachmaninoff met Tchaikovsky and was preparing to collaborate with him on a huge work.

As a result, Tchaikovsky died of illness less than a month later.

Rachmaninoff also decided to write another "Elegy" trio based on the same basic structure in memory of Tchaikovsky.

This is the origin of "Elegy".

It was originally a very complex piano piece, and it has been adapted twice.

So the structure is very complex and the techniques are particularly innovative.

Piano pieces are different from piano pieces or symphonies.

Piano sketches are mostly games, but they can condense a writer's key techniques and writing habits.

Elegy was written at a special time and is very popular among pianists (chdg) in the world.

Lin Xuan's piano music was played on the stage.

A sense of pathos followed the notes and spread to every corner of the hall.

It is different from the pathos, resistance and struggle of Beethoven's "Destiny".

"Elegy" just tells you that you are dead, and whether you survive or not depends purely on luck.

This kind of thing is desperate.

If there was no possibility of survival at all, maybe everyone would be at peace, talking and laughing, and doing whatever they should.

But it is the most painful thing to have a chance to survive but not be able to control your own destiny.

Pain comes from the unknown.

When "Butterfly Lovers" played before, there were a lot of noisy sounds.

After "Elegy" started playing, everything fell silent.

This place is just like the suburbs of Moscow.

Amidst the snow, silence

Silently, the skinny farmer walked on the snow.

Looking carefully, he was not wearing shoes, and only one finger on his feet was not frozen off.

A crow stared at the farmer and wanted to wait for the farmer to have a feast.

Little did he know that he was being targeted by the farmer.

Finally, when the farmer pulled out the feathers of the dead crow, he discovered that the crow's ribs were deeper than his own.

Eating it is a waste of effort.

When the thirteen-minute "Elegy" ended, the audience burst into applause.

Everyone, whether they understand music or not, knows that Lin Xuan's piano is different from the pianos they usually hear.

This is a performance that is emotionally invested and flawless in every detail.

Those who know piano can directly watch Lin Xuan’s fingers rising and falling on the Steinway.

What's more, on the left side of the hall, the door and window of an independent room were opened.

An elegant beauty in medieval attire, less than thirty years old, leaned against the wooden window and looked at the scene in trance.

She also called the waiter, gave the waiter a business card, and handed the waiter a stack of tips.

Lin Xuan stood up after the performance, shook his fingers to pop out a cigarette, and then reached for the lighter.

After touching it twice, I remembered that the lighter was on the table upstairs.

However, five or six women were already crowded in front of the stage, and everyone stretched out their hands: "Expensive Zippd, Xiton Road."

Lin Xuan smiled and did not go to catch the fire. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked to his seat.

The women were disappointed.

This is talent.

In a circle that is used to seeing beautiful women and handsome men, talent is undoubtedly the most popular thing.

Of course, you have to be able to stand the test.

If it's a big bowl of wide noodles, forget it. That's not talent. It can only attract little girls who are new to the world and have never even seen the world.

Returning to the table, Sun Juan looked at Lin Xuan with admiration: "That's amazing!"

Lin Xuan smiled: "What's so great about it?"

Sun Juan: “It seems like I have played this piece of music for a hundred years before I can achieve such proficiency.

"Obviously the rhythm and melody have not changed, but it can make people feel the emotion inside."

"Is it really possible for humans to achieve emotional changes that are so subtle that it takes a tenth of a second or even a hundredth of a second to bring about the change in tone?"

Lin Xuan smiled: "Practice makes perfect, and you can do it too.

Sun Kai laughed.

Sun Wei believed it to be true: "Well! With Master Lin's words, I will definitely be able to do it!"

Lin Xuan: "???"

Have you become Master Lin again?

After a while, the foreman came over and said cautiously: "Young master's house......"

Sun Kai: "What's wrong?"

The foreman handed over a stack of business cards: "These are sent by customers and I want to transfer them to Mr. Lin."

Sun Kai smiled: "Oh my god, you are so charming, aren't you?"

Nonsense, if you can make "Elegy" pop out like a charm, you will be very charming.

Women are the worst offenders to the vicissitudes of men.

Is there anything more tragic than playing the piano and making someone cry?

Sun Kai: "If you have a stubble on your face, find a place to play a song from time to time."

"Those women are still unable to walk when they see you?"

Sun Wei raised the silk fan and slapped Sun Kai: "Insult to art!"

Sun Kai pulled up his stool and distanced himself from Xiao Wei: "Of those great artists and musicians, which one is not suave?"

For musicians and poets of that era in Europe, if you couldn't meet a noble lady who wanted to support you, it was like the world was telling you that you were a waste and not suitable for this profession.

Lin Xuan smiled: "Who are these people? Why are they handing me their business cards?"

Sun Kai winked: "You still want me to say this?"

"Let me tell you, there is a person who handed you a business card. I have known her for a long time. In this area of ​​Yanjing City, everyone who has the qualifications and courage to pursue her is a big shot. These people every day

My scalp was scratched, but I didn't get any favor. "

Lin Xuan glanced at the business card and remained silent.

Abreu: "Boss, I feel like they are insulting you. We are not singing."

Lin Xuan nodded: "Well, that makes sense. You can find a hotel later and put these business cards through the crack of the room door.

"Hahahahaha!"

Lin Xuan and Abreu laughed.

The bad taste of the two people obviously did not match Yanjing's laughter.

Sun Kai looked confused, and Sun Juan didn't know what he was thinking of. He blushed and buried his head.

The living room is not a square. Lin Xuan was so loud that everyone around him heard it.

However, many women didn't care at all that Lin Xuan was joking like this, but their eyes became even hotter.

Who can not like a talented, handsome and interesting man?

Lin Xuan took a sip of tea: "By the way, Sun Kai, how do they trade antiques in your club?"

Sun Kai: “There are two types, one is those who are willing to exhibit publicly, and the other are unwilling to exhibit together.”

"If you don't want to display it publicly, you have to get to know the person first and know what he does before you can see the thing."

"If it's a joint exhibition, you can look at the sign there with the information written on it."

"It's all written down when and which room can be viewed."

"Whether it is allowed to be viewed alone or allowed to visit together at the same time, it is also marked."

Lin Xuan understood.

Many years ago, the antique market was not that hot, and everyone was not so rich at that time.

Therefore, transactions are all conducted in antique streets like Panjiayuan.

Now, the antique street has become a fake street, and there are even signs of developing into a cultural tourism street.

The streets are full of tourist souvenirs from scenic spots.

Therefore, today's high-priced antiques are traded directly in private clubs.

This is inevitable.

How do wealthy people enhance the distinction between themselves and others?

It’s nothing more than food, clothing, housing, transportation and hobbies.

Why does the same thing sell for 10 yuan in a treasure store, but costs 100,000 yuan in a luxury store?

Some people may ridicule the fool who buys 100,000 yuan.

But if a person who uses a lighter worth RMB 100,000 looks at someone who uses a lighter worth RMB 10, he will know that they are not in the same boat.

This can save countless time costs.

These things can quickly identify circles.

It is inevitable that antique trading moves from a small circle to the public, and then back to a small circle.

In the next ten years or so, maybe antiques on Antique Street will disappear completely.

All transactions go into similar clubs.

Lin Xuan: "I'm going to see the excitement."

Thanks for the reward and the reminder for the update ticket. It is difficult to report this type of ID, so I will not report the ID. Thank you!
