Chapter 46 Artistic Literacy

Yu Xinting had to go back to school to change clothes. After Yang Jingxing bought her a pair of pants, she took the initiative to confess: "An Xin lent me the ones, do they look good?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "This time it's the right person."

Yu Xinting hehe: "The waist is a bit big, the length is right."

I didn't go home anymore, and made an appointment with my parents and teachers to meet at the place where I had dinner yesterday.Yu Xinting also said: "The ribs yesterday were delicious."

Yang Jingxing agreed: "Well, I'll order one."

After meeting, Li Yingzhen asked Yang Jingxing: "A reporter went to school this morning, did you know?"

Yang Jingxing said: "They called me, but I didn't go."

Xiao Shuxia wasn't sure: "What reporter? The one who interviewed you...why didn't he go!"

Yang Jingxing said, "No time."

Xiao Shuxia reprimanded: "You don't have time for business..." She glanced at Yu Xinting.

Li Yingzhen said, "It's fine if you don't want to go."

After lunch, I went to the concert hall. There were still reporters waiting here. Three or four times, Yang Jingxing said, "Sorry, I still have to practice, I don't have time."

Yang Chengyi stepped forward, trying to stop the reporter, but he was almost entangled, and turned around to teach Yang Jingxing: "Why are you so rude? At least you can say hello."

Yang Jingxing said: "I don't like talking to strangers."

Xiao Shuxia threatened: "Professor Li will criticize you!"

Li Yingzhen was forgiving: "Forget it, don't force him."

On the second floor, Jeromil and Yuexian were waiting with another white man in his 50s.They introduced each other, and of course the other party was Cliff, the music director of the Lincoln Center for the Arts.Cliff is a bit fat, only about 1.7 meters tall, and his thin white hair is very fine.

Cliff obviously paid more attention to interpersonal communication, and greeted each other one by one, with a constant smile on his face.Yang Jingxing said it was hard work, Cliff smiled, patted Jeromir on the shoulder and said, "I believe that my old friend will not let me down."

Jeromir emphasized: "Never, especially this time."

Don't talk too much nonsense, let's practice!Cliff also came to hug Yang Jingxing after he finished playing with the orchestra, but he didn't lose his composure like Yeromir that day, but he was a little excited: "Why did I only find you today! This is our negligence!"

Then the discussion began, and Yuexian said that Cliff would rush back to New York tomorrow, so he wanted to reach a cooperation agreement as soon as possible.The Yankees are very professional, and even the standard things are ready, including Chinese ones, let Yang Jingxing have a look. Of course, the details can be discussed.

Yue Xian explained to Yang Jingxing that Niu Ai is resident in the Everly Fisher Concert Hall, and they are a cooperative relationship bound by a contract.A pianist like Yang Jingxing would either enter a brokerage company to follow the company's arrangements, and the company would arrange performances and be responsible for promotion, or sign a contract with the orchestra to become a member of the orchestra and cooperate with the orchestra's performance plan.

Although they are all commercial cooperations, cooperating with an orchestra will be relatively free, and will have a good and sustainable development on the road of music. There is no need to change an orchestra every day and have to re-run.Of course, in terms of income, it is not as much as the brokerage company that arranges intensive commercial performances and advertising activities.

No matter which way Yang Jingxing chooses, Cliff can provide cooperation, because Lincoln Art Center has its own agency.

It is said that it is a very face-saving thing for the boss to come to talk to you directly, but Yang Jingxing is not even interested in understanding it carefully, so he said directly: "Mr. Cliff, thank you for your precious time and sincerity, but I am a composition major. student, so I must continue to complete my studies. Thank you and Mr. Yeromir, your recognition is the best affirmation of my teacher, Professor Li, and this is also my purpose, thank you."

Seeing the disappointed expressions of Yeromil and Cliff, Xiao Shuxia knew that something was wrong, so she couldn't help asking Yang Jingxing: "What did you say?" Yang Chengyi pulled his wife's hand to prevent her from interfering.

Cliff would not beg for help, he patted his thigh and said, "Okay, good luck."

Yeromir still didn't believe Yang Jingxing's decision: "Why? You can't do this!"

Yang Jingxing said: "There are so many good performers in the world, and there is no shortage of me..."

Jeromil boasted: "But you are the best!"

Yang Jingxing said: "There is no best, and I don't want to be the best. I just want to do what I want to do."

The result was not very pleasant, but Yeromir could not force others to do what they did not want to do.Yang Jingxing still respectfully sent Cliff away. The other party said he would come tonight and wished him a successful performance.

Then the group of relatives and friends held a discussion meeting, Xiao Shuxia apologized to Li Yingzhen, saying that Yang Jingxing was such a stubborn guy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Yingzhen said it doesn't matter: "It's the same no matter where we are, and we don't need other people's acknowledgment."

Yang Chengyi also said: "Although it is said that a good man has ambitions in all directions, there is nothing wrong with taking steps step by step."

Although Yang Jingxing didn't know what to do, he still had to go on stage in the evening, and practiced twice in the afternoon, Yeromir was still conscientious.

Before dinner, Yang Jingxing received a call from Tao Meng, saying, "Is Cliff here? Even if you really don't want to go to America, you should behave well."

Yang Jingxing haha: "We already talked about it this afternoon."

Tao Meng was surprised: "How did you talk? Why didn't you tell me?"

Yang Jingxing said: "He attacked suddenly, so I said I didn't want to go."

Tao Meng didn't believe it: "It's that simple? Why didn't you call me!"

Yang Jingxing said: "How complicated can it be? Will you support me?"

Tao Meng said angrily, "But... you should be more careful... I thought tonight would be over!"

Yang Jingxing said: "Tonight is my farewell performance."

Tao Meng scolded: "Don't talk nonsense...I always feel that you are not good...Then what do they say? Are you sincere?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "There are so many pianists, who can do without them, and I am nothing."

Tao Meng was still worried: "I don't know what you said... Maybe there is a compromise. You can cooperate with them even if you don't go abroad. You need a long-term plan!"

Yang Jingxing was narrow-minded: "What kind of cooperation is it? I just listen to other people's orders. I like freedom."

Tao Meng said: "There is no absolute freedom... No matter what, you still have to behave well at night. That's it, we'll set off right away."

After the meal, Yang Jingxing went back to prepare, and went up to the second floor to welcome Tao Meng's 'grandmother'.After chatting for a while, I said that the old man was in good health and looked young or something as a compliment.

Knowing that Hu Yiqing was coming, Tao Meng left "grandma" and Yang Jingxing to greet her together.Yu Xinting is no longer a follower today, and is waiting for An Xin at the entrance of the concert hall.

Yu Xinting praised Tao Meng: "You are so beautiful."

Tao Meng said, "Thank you, you too."

Yang Jingxing said, "You both are beautiful."

Yu Xinting said seriously, "I'm not as good-looking as her."

Tao Meng said to Yu Xinting: "You have worked hard these few days."

Yu Xinting shook her head again and again: "No, I didn't do anything."

Tao Meng asked: "Are you free next weekend? I'll go to your school."

Yu Xinting was surprised: "Me? I'm going to go to tutoring. You go, Yang Jingxing wants you to go."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "How do you know what I think?"

Yu Xinting said, "Really, really!"

Tao Meng smiled: "Let's have dinner together then, he should thank you too."

Yu Xinting shook her head: "No, no, really."

Zhang Chujia came first, and after getting acquainted with Tao Meng, he exaggeratedly condemned Yang Jingxing: "Wow, you are a weirdo, and you are also engaged in underground work, I want to tell the professor!"

Tao Meng smiled: "I already know Professor Li."

Zhang Chujia said to Tao Meng again: "He is super honest at school, there is no scandal at all."

Tao Meng still smiled: "It has nothing to do with me."

Yang Jingxing was angry: "You two cooperate really well!"

Zhang Chujia laughed.

An Xin also came earlier, together with another roommate from the drama department, both of them thanked Yang Jingxing.Yu Xinting went in with An Xin and said goodbye to Tao Meng.

Tao Meng said to Yang Jingxing, "None of your friends have any artistic temperament."

Yang Jingxing laughed: "What is an artistic temperament?"

Tao Meng said, "You can tell by the way you speak."

Yang Jingxing said: "It's just right, I don't have much self-cultivation."

Tao Meng glanced at Yang Jingxing: "You don't have to be so sensitive."

Yang Jingxing said: "I seek truth from facts."

After a long silence, Tao Meng finally said, "I didn't say that was bad."

Yang Jingxing nodded.

After another silence, Tao Meng asked again: "What are you thinking?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I am cultivating an artistic temperament."

Tao Meng became sensitive: "Are you mocking me? I didn't criticize anyone, why don't you comment?"

Yang Jingxing said, "Yes, you have the right."

Tao Meng said angrily, "Don't be so yin and yang, okay?"

Yang Jingxing imitated the female voice: "This is called yin and yang strangeness."

Tao Meng had a cold face: "I can't laugh!"

Yang Jingxing said: "Let me tell you a joke. The beggar's wallet was stolen by a fool. The blind man saw it. The dumb man yelled. The deaf man was startled. The hunchback stepped forward, and the lame man kicked up. The lunatic said, everyone, be rational." , Mazi said, forget it for my sake. Tao Meng laughed out loud, I told this joke!"

Tao Meng, who had been sullen all the time, suddenly smiled for a short second, then forced her expression into a bared grin, raised her fist at Yang Jingxing, did not drop, and turned her head to ignore him.

Yang Jingxing continued: "The deaf man said, Tao Meng was indeed smiling, the blind man said, I saw it, the dumb man said, he smiled beautifully..."

Tao Meng turned her head sharply and scolded Yang Jingxing, "You are blind, you are crazy, you are deaf, you are still pockmarked..."

Yang Jingxing despised: "There is no artistic temperament at all."

Tao Meng stomped her feet: "I'm leaving!"

Yang Jingxing pleaded: "Be rational, be rational."

Tao Meng was furious: "I'll let it go for your sake!" After she finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing, and after laughing for a while, she said, "You haven't made me laugh for a long time."

Yang Jingxing said, "It's up to you whether to smile or not."

Tao Meng said: "There must be something to laugh about. You must be teasing others, or are there too many things? I just say don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Yang Jingxing said: "Well, I will review."

Tao Meng rolled her eyes: "I'll go to your school next Saturday, shall I? Give Yu Xinting a brooch or something?"

Yang Jingxing said: "No need, her birthday is coming up, I will send it."

Tao Meng asked, "When?"

"Next Wednesday."

"how do you know?"

Yang Jingxing explained: "So I read the ID card during the exam."

Tao Meng froze for a moment, then said, "No, I don't have time on Wednesday."

Yang Jingxing said: "There is no need to be so grand."

Tao Meng said: "I think you are very grand!"

Yang Jingxing said modestly, "This is what I should do, she is so far away from home."

Tao Meng asked, "What are you going to give?"

Yang Jingxing said, "Let's buy a cake."

Tao Meng said, "I will try my best to spare time, shall I at night?"

Hu Yiqing came, holding hands sweetly with her boyfriend.Hu Yiqing dressed up beautifully and was also happy: "Tao Meng, where are the other students? Are you here?"

Yang Jingxing said, "This is the one I invited."

Hu Yiqing nodded and introduced her boyfriend.Her boyfriend was very happy: "I don't know music, I just come to join in the fun."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Then you are like me."

Tao Meng laughed: "Teacher Hu is getting more and more beautiful."

Hu Yiqing said: "You are the one, I feel that you have matured a lot."

Well, the guests are all greeted.Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing again, and reminded: "Go in and wipe the sole of the shoe, keep it in the same condition as yesterday."

Yang Jingxing said: "You are getting more and more beautiful, and I have to work hard."

When Yang Jingxing came on stage today, the applause was louder than yesterday.After the third song was over, the applause became even more violent in an instant, and the audience slowly stood up.

Jeromir hugged Yang Jingxing vigorously, as if parting, and said to him: "You should benefit more audiences."

Niu Ai will leave tomorrow, and the audience is reluctant to leave, so they return to the first movement of Mozart No. 40. Yang Jingxing has been waiting by the piano, and then he will present a nocturne, and it is really over.

After saying goodbye to Yue Xian in the background, Yang Jingxing went to gather with his relatives and friends.A large group of people were waiting in the lobby on the first floor, and there were actually Xiao Jiajia and her father.Xiao Jiajia presented a bouquet of flowers to Yang Jingxing, but he was overjoyed.

Just as he was talking, a young man who was about the same age as Yang Jingxing but a little smaller in appearance came over and said to him, "You play well."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you."

The young man snorted coldly: "But don't you think this is despicable?"

Yang Jingxing was surprised: "I'm sorry, what's wrong?"

The young man's anger suddenly burst out: "What's wrong? What did you say!"

Xiao Shuxia called first: "What are you talking about? What's wrong with my son?"

The young man glared at Yang Jingxing and warned, "Don't be arrogant!"

Yang Jingxing was helpless: "I really can't understand what you said, how did I offend you?"

Li Yingzhen spoke to the young man with a stern tone: "Yang Jingxing doesn't know you, so don't make trouble here."

The young man stretched his neck and stared at Yang Jingxing: "You don't know me?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "May I ask who you are?"

The young man shouted: "You don't know me? Don't be so crazy!"

Xiao Shuxia questioned: "Who are you?"

Li Yingzhen took a step forward and said to the young man, "Shen Wuchen, Yang Jingxing really doesn't know you, calm down."

Yang Jingxing quickly said: "Shen Wuchen, I know. I'm sorry, I haven't seen a real person, so I'm sorry."

Tao Meng pulled Yang Jingxing's arm to prevent him from being shameless.

The young man roared: "Don't be so crazy! Who are you? What are you?"

Yang Chengyi raised his finger and pointed at Shen Wuchen's face, and said in a low voice, "I warn you, get out!"

Xiao Shuxia also warned: "I don't know how to live or die!"

Shen Wuchen was a little scared: "What do you want? Are there too many people? Do you want to hit me?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Everyone, be rational... What did I do to you? Such a deep hatred."

"Still pretending to be stupid? Are you connected? I was the one to play! You were still wearing crotch pants when I was playing pull three!" Shen Wuchen yelled.

Li Yingzhen scolded: "You play better than him and then say such things, your skills are not as good as others, what do you call it!"

Yang Jingxing asked: "It was he who played?"

Li Yingzhen said, "Don't pay attention to him, let's go."

Yang Jingxing said: "You guys go first, I'll chat with him."

Tao Meng pulled Yang Jingxing: "Let's go, what are we talking about!"

Yang Jingxing stretched out his hands to chase away the group of relatives and friends: "You guys go first, wait for me outside, Tao Meng, you and 'grandma' 'grandma' go home first."

Tao Meng's 'grandmother' also said: "Let them deal with young people's affairs." He watched Shen Wuchen teach again: "Don't be so angry, this is not a place to run wild."

Shen Wuchen raised his eyes in disdain.

When there were only two people left, Yang Jingxing looked at Shen Wuchen sincerely: "It's really time for you to play, I don't know at all."

Shen Wuchen was angry again: "You don't know? They notified me a month before Niu Ai came?"

Yang Jingxing said, "I'm really sorry, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Shen Wuchen was so angry that his mouth twisted: "I told you earlier... You are too embarrassed... Are you particularly proud now? A genius, a master...Me too!"

Yang Jingxing said: "No, I'm really sorry, this was a misunderstanding, I apologize to you."

Shen Wuchen disdained: "You think I care, I don't care at all, this kind of small stage..."

Yang Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, let's pretend that what happened before didn't happen, how about it?"

Shen Wuchen said: "I can't be more angry with you for doing this!"

Yang Jingxing said: "You have a lot of adults, come, shake hands and make peace, and save face."

Shen Wuchen looked at Yang Jingxing for a few seconds, and finally stretched out his hand to express himself.

Yang Jingxing patted Shen Wuchen's shoulder: "Okay, man, I'll take you out."

Shen Wuchen asked: "You really don't know?"

Yang Jingxing nodded.

Shen Wuchen snorted coldly: "These people look down on others with a dog's eyes, and play with the wind... When did you come?"

Yang Jingxing explained: "I came over on Thursday, and the conductor told me to go, so I went. I'm really sorry."

Shen Wuchen said: "Jeromir is not a good guy either. He was ignored when he was in Germany."

Yang Jingxing comforted: "Don't be angry, it's okay, you are already a celebrity, what am I?"

Shen Wuchen sneered: "You will be a celebrity soon, you will be a master!"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's far behind, it's incomparable to you."

Shen Wuchen got angry again: "You don't need to be sarcastic, I haven't seen anything, I don't care, I've been 'touching' for more than ten years!"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "That's right, you are senior."

Shen Wuchen walked out of the concert hall with Yang Jingxing's arms around his shoulders, who was one head taller than him, and when he saw a large group of people waiting outside, he left from the other side.

People outside also understand the general situation.This Shen Wuchen is a real genius. He is only two years older than Yang Jingxing. He became a blockbuster when he was eight years old. He went abroad to study at the age of ten. Everyone was shocked when he played all the way. He won the Rachmaninoff Piano Competition at the age of 16. The first prize is the third prize.But this guy is a real madman, everyone looks down on him, and he regards himself as the world's number one genius in front of the media... It's inevitable that he won't be seen, and his artistic career is now being tested.

Originally, when Niu Ai came to Puhai this time, the concert hall invited Shen Wuchen to perform on stage as a local guest, but later Yeromir insisted on changing people.Li Yingzhen knew about it, but she didn't tell Yang Jingxing.
