Chapter 1209 Carnegie Hall Tickets

"Mr. Wang, we met again. I've come to see you every day these days, but I can't see you." Before the song ended, Yo-Yo Ma came over to say hello again, and Guo Yan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm really sorry. I really didn't expect you to be in such a hurry. You have been rehearsing a new song at home these two days, so you didn't come over." Shen Long apologized to Yo-Yo Ma with a smile on his face.

"How can I not be in a hurry? After hearing such a good piece and such an interesting performance technique, I feel very itchy." In fact, it's not just Guo Yan who is anxious. After several days of fermentation, the expectation in Yo-Yo Ma's heart The feeling is almost at the peak, "The new song is the one just now? It's the same style as "Silk Road". What's the name of this song?"

"I haven't had time to think of the name." "Silk Road" is better, because the song originally described the desolation and loneliness of the Northwest Desert, but "Night Fighter" is not easy to deal with. If the name is used directly, Yo-Yo Ma will probably Feel a little baffling? So simply do not say good.

"I feel that this new piece is a little more intense than "Silk Road", and the vision of the performance should be constantly changing, and it seems that the cello and cucurbits alone are not enough, and it seems complete with the addition of percussion instruments. ’ said Yo-Yo Ma, reviewing the piece.

Shen Long gave him a thumbs up in his heart. Genius is amazing. Tan Dun also used constantly changing drums and the occasional zither when processing this piece of music. Yo-Yo Ma can understand these after just listening to it once. , is indeed remarkable.

At this time, Yo-Yo Ma's friend came to urge him again. Today also needs to be rehearsed. Although Yo-Yo Ma was reluctant, he could only leave, but this time he did not make the mistake of last time, so he took out his business card and handed it to Shen Long, "Mr. Wang , I'm really sorry, I wanted to chat with you for a while, but today I still have rehearsal tasks; do you think this is okay? If you are not busy today, after my rehearsal is over in the afternoon, let's go have a meal together. Slow talk?"

This time, Shen Long didn't pretend to be aggressive either, and continued to play tricks to tantalize people, and took the business card readily, "No problem, I'll wait here for you to get off work."

After Yo-Yo Ma left, Robert, Boris and the others gathered around again, "Congratulations, Wang, you have taken the first step into the mainstream American music circle!" It was their dream to gain the approval of the insiders, but They have been performing at the Lincoln Center for so long, and they didn't get Shen Long's chance today.

"Qingming!" Guo Yan hugged Shen Long's arm excitedly, with tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, how difficult it has been these past few months, although she has made a lot of money, she is used to performing in concert halls For her, she still wanted to return to the concert hall, and now this opportunity finally came.

"It's still very early, and it's not easy to think about it." Shen Long was very calm. Getting Yo-Yo Ma's approval was only the first part, and there were still more thresholds to pass in the future.

"I know, I know, haven't we already started!" Guo Yan also understands that success is by no means easy, but it is definitely a good start. Jay Chou has taken a fancy to it. It doesn't mean that you will become famous immediately, but the door to success has opened a crack, which is countless times better than those who can only wait and see outside the door.

"Take a rest first, calm down a little bit, here, there are still so many audiences!" Shen Long pointed to the audience around, and the arrival of Yo-Yo Ma once again helped them attract many customers.

"Oh, I'll be fine in a while, I'll be fine in a while." Guo Yan quickly wiped away her tears, and sat on the side to recover her mood, while Shen Long continued to perform. His performance was as stable as ever, without reducing his psychological fluctuations at all.

In the afternoon, Yo-Yo Ma appeared in front of them again, brought a car, and took them to a nearby club. There was no outsider interference here. Yo-Yo Ma took out his cello and began to ask Shen Long for advice. He was playing Those unique techniques used in "Silk Road".

"This is actually using the erhu playing fingering to unify the oriental style of music with the western characteristic instruments..." Shen Long gave him a serious demonstration, and glanced at Yo-Yo Ma's cello by the way.

This violin is very famous in the classical music world. It is called "Montagnana Cello", nicknamed "Petunia". It was made in 1733. In the era when Shen Long traveled, some experts commented that this violin The value is around $30 million.

In 1999, Yo-Yo Ma left this cello in a taxi when he was performing in New York, and was sent back by the taxi driver. For this reason, Yo-Yo Ma specially recorded a public service advertisement for the taxi in New York. Well, I'm Yo-Yo Ma, please take your belongings and don't leave them in the car like I did.

He will have another violin in the future. After the death of the famous cellist Jacqueline Dupre, her "Davydov Stradivari Cello" was auctioned, and the transaction price was converted into RMB as high as Hundreds of millions, although the new buyer is unknown, but this collector decided to lend the piano to Yo-Yo Ma, who also played many classic pieces on it.

These techniques are not difficult, and Yo-Yo Ma quickly found the way, then shyly put away the cello, brought Shen Long and Guo Yan to the dining table, sat down and began to eat.

Guo Yan was amazed and restrained by the elegant decoration of the club and the delicacies. Isn’t this capitalist country too extravagant?

Shen Long was unmoved. Compared with what he had seen before, this was nothing at the moment. He chatted with Yo-Yo Ma about his thoughts when he composed this song. Of course, these were all based on his interview with Tan Dun. After the retelling, Yo-Yo Ma was very absorbed in listening to it. Did you insert a few sentences? He gave a very high evaluation of these two pieces of music.

Chatting until late at night, Yo-Yo Ma reluctantly got up, "I really want to chat with you two for a while, but unfortunately there is a performance tomorrow, I have to go back to rest early, now that I have a phone number from Mr. Wang's house, then Make an appointment next time when you are free!"

"Oh, by the way, here are two tickets for this concert, I hope you can accept them." Yo-Yo Ma took out two tickets and handed them to Shen Long.

"Then I won't be polite. To be honest, we both wanted to go to see it a long time ago, but the tickets are too expensive to afford." Shen Long took it, and Guo Yan was very excited, wondering what the top concert in the United States would be looks like.
