Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 449 Looking for someone (second update)

A passenger plane from Xiangjiang stopped steadily at Xiaoshan Airport.

A middle-aged Caucasian aunt with a kind face came out of the cabin. She is Susan, a famous British folk singer. She came to China from a long distance at the invitation of the Hangzhou Music Festival Organizing Committee.

There is no direct flight from London to Hangzhou. She first transferred to Xiangjiang and then flew directly to Hangzhou. The 25-hour flight time made her look a little tired, but she was in good spirits.

She was accompanied by her assistant Dora, a blonde girl in her 20s.

Passing the exit to the departure hall, she quickly saw three people, one of whom was holding a sign written in English:

"Welcome Susan"

It was the staff of the music festival organizing committee who specially came to pick up the airport.

The leader is Wang Hui, a 30-year-old woman with short hair who looks very capable. She is the leader of the reception group of the organizing committee of this music season, and is responsible for arranging all the itineraries for the performers of this music festival.

Ordinary singers don't need to be picked up at the airport at all, and she doesn't even need to go out in person. The singer who came this time is different.

This is a heavyweight singer in Europe and America, a household name in the UK, and one of the important guests at this music festival.

Nature cannot neglect.

Naturally, Wang Hui also recognized Susan, and hurried forward to greet her with a handshake.

"Ms. Susan, welcome to China to participate in the Hangzhou International Music Festival. I hope this trip to the East will leave you with good memories."

Self-employed volunteers to translate into English.

"Thank you, I think so, Hangzhou is a beautiful city, and I want to meet my old friends."

"Old friend?" Wang Hui was taken aback when she heard the translation.

According to the information, this is the first time for Susan to come to China. How can she have old friends?
"Yu Dongqing, is Mr. Yu Dongqing coming to Hangzhou too?" Susan asked again.

Wang Hui naturally knew Yu Dongqing, but was he an old friend of Susan?
But she didn't want to take the liberty to ask more questions, so she said, "Ms. Susan, I'm sorry, Mr. Yu Dongqing's Qingmanshoe Band did not come to this music festival."

After thinking for a while, she added: "Their band has rarely performed publicly in the past two years."

"Oh, that's such a pity!" Susan looked regretful.

Wang Hui didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she hurriedly asked the volunteers to help carry the suitcase, and then several people left the waiting hall, boarded the car and went straight to the city.

The hotel where Susan lives is the Four Seasons Hotel in Hangzhou, which is located in the West Lake Scenic Area and is close to Yanggongdi. The organizing committee here specially arranges some important singers and bands.

Here, Chinese-style gardens are hidden in the picturesque scenery, with grass ponds, green courtyards, and weeping willows, making the environment very elegant.

After Susan checked in, she rested for a while and went to the outdoor terrace of the lobby lounge to enjoy afternoon tea by the garden lake according to her usual habits. Assistant Dora naturally followed.

"This tea tastes good." Susan sat leisurely on the rattan chair, slowly tasting the black tea.

"Sosie (Susan's nickname.)" Assistant Dora said with a smile: "China is the hometown of tea, and Hangzhou is known as the capital of tea - the local Longjing tea is very famous. It is said that there was a famous emperor in the Qing Dynasty of China, I like to drink Longjing tea from Hangzhou."

"Dora, it seems that you know China very well." Susan praised.

"When I was in college in London, I took Chinese as an elective, so I also know some Chinese history." Dora explained.

Susan nodded after hearing this, and suddenly changed the topic: "I was invited to China not only to experience some of the civilization of this ancient oriental country, but also to chat with old friends, but unfortunately he didn't come, I still want to be with him Sing that Scarborough Fair."

Dora knew that the old friend Susan mentioned was Yu Dongqing.

Since she became Susan's assistant, she often heard her mention this name, especially when she decided to come to China, she never forgot.

Dora had never met Yu Dongqing, and didn't even know what he looked like. She only knew that he once visited England and wrote the song "Scarborough Fair", which was sad and romantic.

After being sung by Susan, it immediately became popular throughout Europe, and was on the famous European music charts such as Billboard and Ireland (IRMA). Last year, it was named the best golden song of the year in Britain, France and other countries.

She really couldn't figure it out, how could that oriental man write such a ballad that made people feel intoxicated?

Now hearing Susan mentioning this man's name again, she said with a heartbeat, "Sosie, if you want to see Mr. Yu, we can entrust the Music Season Organizing Committee to contact you. I think Mr. Yu would be very happy to meet you."

"is this OK?"

"Of course, Mr. Yu is also a famous musician in China. I don't think it will be difficult to contact him."

"Okay, just do as you say!"

Dora immediately took out her mobile phone and called the staff of the organizing committee who were in charge of receiving them, and said their request: I hope to contact Mr. Yu Dongqing.

The staff immediately reported this request to Wang Hui.

Wang Hui knew that Yu Dongqing was usually very low-key and didn't like to show his face, but it was not difficult to contact him.

After all, he has his own studio, so just ask his agent directly.

So Wang Hui immediately asked the staff to find out the contact information of Yu Dongqing's studio, and called her personally.

Yu Dongqing's agent, Yang Liu, answered the call and told her the good news: Mr. Yu Dongqing is now in Hangzhou, staying and tasting tea at a friend's tea house.

But at the same time, there is a bad news: the phone is turned off after calling!

"Then is there any other way to contact Mr. Yu, or his friends?" Wang Hui asked eagerly.

"This Mr. Yu doesn't like the studio interfering in his private activities, so I don't know the names and contact information of his friends in Hangzhou." Yang Liu felt embarrassed.

Wang Hui was dumbfounded.

I am in Hangzhou, but I can't get in touch!
And according to Susan's assistant Dora, Susan wants to sing "Scarborough Fair" with Yu Dongqing at the music festival.

In the evening, Wang Hui called again according to the phone number provided by Yang Liu, but the phone was still turned off!

How to do?
There was no other way, so Wang Hui had no choice but to go to the Four Seasons Hotel in person, explain the situation to Susan face to face, and apologize.

Susan, of course, would not say anything, but regretted it.

"Wang, you don't know how wonderful that "Scarborough Fair" written by Mr. Yu is! It's one of the best songs I've ever sung in my life."

is it?

Wang Hui had never heard of this song.

Maybe it's because the English songs are not very popular in China, far inferior to other Chinese songs he wrote.

Of course, before leaving, Wang Hui assured Susan that they would continue to contact Yu Dongqing and tell him as soon as possible if there was any news.

Things really turned around the next day. It wasn't Yu Dongqing's phone that turned on, but a volunteer from the reception team gave Wang Hui a message.

"We have a local teahouse called Jiangnan Tea. On Qingchun Road, Mr. Yu once wrote a song called "It's Better to Eat Tea" for it. This shows that the owner of the teahouse has a very close relationship with Mr. Yu. Maybe we can find Mr. Yu."

"This is a way!" Wang Hui's eyes lit up.
