Chapter 1276 Overseas Chinese

Yang Jingxing didn't have much time, coming and going in a hurry made it impossible for his colleagues to treat Julia as comprehensively as they did when they were in Puyin.Director Yang even seemed a bit utilitarian. He would be patient and respectful to the old man who controlled the American Musicological Society for a while, but he would just be simple and polite to the senior person in charge of the Jazz Research Institute.Putting it in Puyin, even if Director Yang had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to show an attitude of being equal and neither humble nor overbearing to the person in charge of any department.

Of course, Julia's people don't know what director Yang is usually good at, so they don't have the same knowledge as him, and they even save face.Not only the professors and masters gave face, but Julia's gifted prodigy students were not all as high-minded and indifferent as in the legend. After all, young people, there are still some who like to join in the fun and watch strange things, and even superstitiously believe in authority and legends.There is indeed a big difference between Chinese and Western cultures. When facing Yang Jingxing, Puyin's juniors and juniors couldn't perform the rich superficial emotions of joy and excitement with tension and even shyness.

After leaving Julia, Yang Jingxing became quiet again. He walked along the main road to the downtown direction by himself, got into a taxi after a short while, and told the driver to go to China Town.

The taxi driver with a distinct Bangladeshi color was very enthusiastic. Although most of the people's understanding of China was wrong, at least they got the point of the Olympic Games.But the Olympic Games is not the point. What the driver wants to praise is that the Chinese people are generous in tipping. The Chinese people he has pulled are so rich, generous and kind.

From the downtown point of view, Manhattan does not seem to be that expensive. After Yang Jingxing got off the car and walked in Chinatown, the scene that catches the eye is nostalgic, but there is no deep intimacy, probably because of the composer’s windbreaker. Wearing a suit does not match the surrounding environment, or the temperature is too low.

Kong Chenhe is not bragging, there are quite a lot of simplified characters on the street, Sichuan cuisine restaurants are not uncommon, and even the decoration style of the facade seems to follow the domestic trend.It’s really a global village in the information society. On the other side of Puhai, the spicy hotpot, which has not been popular for a long time, has also advertised here, but I don’t know where the most authentic Sichuan-flavored grilled fish in the United States is hidden.

Of course, accomplished musicians and activists would definitely not hold gatherings in such a dilapidated old Chinatown, so Yang Jingxing's visit can only be tasted. After three blocks, the phone call was over, and the surroundings were quite different.

It is said that the well-known Chinese restaurant is a shop on the street, but it is also a cultural difference. The old and simple dark green door looks really shabby.The sign in front of the restaurant shouted loudly, "2010 North American Chinese Cultural Association", but the font and layout seemed a bit awkward.

Yang Jingxing pushed the door open and entered the room, with crisp jingle bells, the room was filled with ample heating and the unique excitement of mother tongue interweaving.If it weren't for the mutated red-haired Asian waitress who grinned like an African-American and showed a mouth full of artificial teeth, but couldn't even say hello, this place would have been a little more intimate.

After taking the guest's coat, the waiter also expressed his feelings: "It's so cold."

Yang Jingxing didn't have the habit of discussing the weather, and he didn't need to lead the way. He would walk in by himself, and then he saw a fairly spacious dining room and a room full of people.At first glance, it seems that most of them are Chinese who are a little older, and they have to look like 60 No. [-], sitting, standing, standing, getting together and scattered.

Sure enough, it was a sorority meeting, Yue Xian who was near the door had already chatted happily with Teacher You, but he was not completely addicted, Yue Xian soon discovered Yang Jingxing's appearance, and greeted him directly, without inviting the principal people talking.

Yang Jingxing moved faster, and began to smile again: "Italy raises people so much?"

Le Xian's handshake is suspected of being solemn, but his expression is still affectionate: "I'm a little slack. Hurry up, Mr. Tang has been waiting for you for two days!"

Besides Music Strings and the people from Puhai, there were other people in the room who knew Yang Jingxing, the Chinese violinist of the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra whom he had only met once, and the two musicians he met during the Puyin [-]th Anniversary Celebration, The international students who were struggling in Julia...these people also discovered Yang Jingxing's arrival, but Yang Jingxing's goal at this meeting was very clear, and he went directly to curry favor with the most senior.

Tang Qing is really old and strong, not at all like someone who had bypass surgery two months ago, who greeted him loudly from afar: "Brother Yang!" He greeted him with a warm hug.

Under the eyes of everyone, the old and the young were still flattering each other, and then Tang Qing was going to introduce to Yang Jingxing the director of the American Chinese Chamber of Commerce.Next to him, Wen Fujiang was anxious on his face, and before Yang Jingxing got to know the big boss, he reminded: "Consultant Yang, here is Counselor Li..."

It was too late for Yang Jingxing, Mao Tianchi was still smiling, and in his opinion, his status in the Chinese music circle was not necessarily lower than that of Tang Qing...

It is called a cultural fellowship, but it is actually a private party. The co-organizers are two enthusiastic bosses of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and a famous Chinese horn player.Most of the people attending the party were Chinese and overseas Chinese, and a few white faces were also very suitable for the occasion, and they could also make expressions like they had finally met the composer.Although it was a private gathering, the counselors and consuls of the cultural counselor's office of the Consulate General in New York also attended the gathering in their private capacities, but to the Chinese, public servants are always public servants, and Wen Fujiang has long found out that the young Counselor Li is also a public servant. It has some background, and the family has some connections with Puhai. The most important thing is that the consulate has given considerable attention to the Chinese orchestra's visit to the United States this time.

Compared with the congratulations, encouragement and envy of the composer from the consulate or his peers, Yang Jingxing was more willing to collect some fresh conversation materials. He was not idle at all for these two or three hours, and he gained a lot, and he had something to talk to his girlfriend at night.For example, the two bosses generously donated the event expenses for this fellowship, Chinese and overseas Chinese praised this kind of charity, and the bosses are also aristocratic, or they have maintained the fine traditions of the previous dynasty because they have not undergone the transformation of New China. It's quite a special style, and the seniors of the national orchestra are all very surprised.

At the fraternity meeting, there was also a small boss who sold small commodities in Flushing. He chatted with Yang Jingxing for a while, not because he knew music, but because he knew that Yang Jingxing was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the small boss often went to Yiwu.The little boss is also ambitious, saying that he is going to give up retailing and engage in import and export trade. He firmly believes that Yiwu's commodities are invincible in the world!

Of course, cultural gatherings must have writers. Yang Jingxing has received four autographed books. One of the writers has never set foot in mainland China since his father's generation. He not only wrote a novel that happened in a special era He also talked with Yang Jingxing about the serious problem of the polarization between the rich and the poor, and encouraged composers from the rich class to do something for more hungry people in China.

The cousin of the erhu chief of the Chinese Orchestra has settled in Los Angeles for more than ten years. Due to work needs, he returns to the motherland once or twice a year. As a businessman, his feelings are very different from the writer’s guess. As a young man, Yang Jingxing provided some reference advice.

Yang Jingxing didn't look away, the old man who looked at the face was indeed a Hong Kong actor who had immigrated to the United States for more than ten years and worked as an amateur painter.Although the actor is not well-known, he has played the impressive number one villain in classic comedy films. He Peiyuan will be surprised when he says it.The former actors are really much older, but art seems to really change people's temperament.

No wonder the caucasian man walked around enthusiastically with lowered eyebrows and eyes. He turned out to be a real estate agent who was proficient in Mandarin.And Yang Jingxing's attire seemed to have really helped, he was almost entangled by the real estate agent, and it was the reporter who helped him out.

The female reporter in her thirties came to the fraternity as an individual, and she can be regarded as a person who has struggled for many years in the art show. Although she used to report and describe some official Chinese and Western cultural exchanges, she was not just as a It's a job, and the purpose of finding a chance to have a good chat with Yang Jingxing today is not to persuade the composer who set a new record to accept an interview.Yang Jingxing sincerely explained to the reporter that his small achievements in the field of serious music are far from enough to become an advanced representative. Not only in serious music, but in fact in painting, literature and many other fields, many Chinese people have been famous all over the world many years ago.

The reporters mentioned by the composer had met quite a few face-to-face, but she still thought this incident was more newsworthy.Yang Jingxing asked why?Reporters can say many reasons, even because the composer is young and has a more popular identity-[-].

People became more courageous abroad, Yang Jingxing asked: "Maybe it's because the political color is not so strong, and it's more real. Is there any reason?"

The reporter who was used to the main theme nodded frankly, and then seemed to understand what Yang Jingxing meant, did he not want to be linked to politics?

Yang Jingxing felt that the reporter should not cast other colors on the report, which would create a sense of unreality and distance from the audience.Yang Jingxing guessed quite positively that, compared to the glory of showing his face in "News Network", the seniors of the national orchestra should want to spend a little more time on programs that not many people watch, and promote art in a more plain and direct way. , because no one will be interested in folk music because of half a minute of news, and one minute is enough.

The reporter seemed to be instigated by the composer, and also wanted to promote art, so he decided to make a good plan, and then make a special report on art when the Chinese Orchestra cooperates with NiuAi next time.

Yang Jingxing asked the reporter to report the application to the head of the Wen team. After Wen Fujiang heard this, he would save face and said that the team must cooperate well.Not only did the group cooperate, even the boss of the import and export business in Los Angeles also made sure that he had access and resources, so whoever came to the United States to make a movie would do it himself...

There was so much variety at the fraternity, it was full of subtlety and a lot of explicitness, and it felt like a clash of cultures.The so-called cellist, who was nearly half a century old, introduced his young white girlfriend who was more in line with oriental aesthetics, and shared with Yang Jingxing his plan to have a mixed-race baby.Another colleague who was familiar with the violinist told Yang Jingxing that the woman was from Georgia and had not yet received a green card, so some people directly admired the violinist for his skill and courage.

It is said that it is a Chinese restaurant, but there are no chopsticks for Chinese people, let alone a big round table, and the dishes did not surprise the musicians of the Chinese orchestra who are already homesick.In fact, it can be seen that there are not many common languages ​​between all walks of life from all over the world, but they all admit their "roots". Blood is thicker than water so that each other's smiles will not be cold.

In fact, it’s not time to say goodbye, but people who are drunk and full of food seem to be more emotional. The chief pipa of the national orchestra embraced the first generation who only met last night, and told the other party to go home with tears in his hoarse voice. Look, they are all relatives.

Having received so much encouragement and congratulations from their compatriots, the musicians still have three or four hours to rest and prepare.According to the current statistics, there are no less than [-] compatriots who will go to the concert hall tonight, accounting for [-]% of the audience. This is not only about face, but also pressure. There is no light.

Yang Jingxing didn't need to prepare anything and felt no pressure. He went to meet Jeromir with the world-renowned composer Tang Qing from Taiwan and the music director and chief conductor of the Turin Symphony Orchestra. It was also a private meeting that had been scheduled long ago, and it was arranged at Yang Jingxing's residence. hotel.

Tang Qing arrived in New York the day before yesterday. He has friends all over the world, and he lives in the house of an old friend for many years.Yuexian is staying at her home these days, because Yu Xinting and Kong Chenhe are in Japan and will not return to New York until next week.In addition to being happy for Yu Xinting to find her own value, Le Xian is even more envious of the girls' hearts of the two. He found a lot of kawaii gadgets in the house, and wondered if it would be more convenient for Yu Xinting to live in Japan, and it would be much closer to return to China. .

Tang Qing didn't have a deep impression of Yu Xinting nor did he care much about it. He missed [-] more, especially Qi Qingnuo.In order to express his dissatisfaction with the old, Tang Qing strongly praised "Jinse Hua Nian" as really enjoyable, and felt that the work should be written by Qi Qingnuo. The bright rebellion and sonorous tenderness are really not Yang Jingxing's way.

So what is Yang Jingxing's way?Yuexian wanted to hear Tang Qing's views on the Second Symphony.

Tang Qing was serious: "A man's inner world can only be understood."

Yang Jingxing haha, and Le Xian also haha: "Then can I understand a little bit?"

Tang Qing's mind is still flexible: "Have Miss Tang heard of "A Little Bit of a River"?"

I haven’t had a chance to hear the strings played by professionals, but Jeromir has enjoyed it. Before rehearsing the "Second Symphony", I listened to the flutist of Neway in order to feel the composer’s folk music thoughts. Forget about me.
