Chapter 1230: A Successful Performance

The next song is also Shen Long's plagiarism of Yanni's work - "Together with Orchids". In traditional Chinese culture, orchids have a unique meaning. High quality.

And this piece of music just shows the noble quality of orchids; the elegant piece is clear and light, with a melody like flowing clouds and flowing water, clean and calm, lingering in the distant dream, looking for the long-awaited tranquility; the beauty lies in Tonight, the dream-like scenery stays in this moment in the mortal world, in the silent night.

The audience at the scene were immersed in this song unknowingly. They saw orchids following Shen Long's music and felt the freshness and nobility of orchids. At this time, they seemed to get rid of the glitz and hustle and bustle of New York and enjoy the A rare relaxation, and the body and mind become peaceful.

Until the end of the music, they were still immersed in the song for a long time and couldn't extricate themselves. It took a while to remember to applaud. Seeing this scene, Guo Yan breathed a sigh of relief. I thought they didn't like the song.

Next, Guo Yan took a short rest, Shen Long took out the suona, and played the song "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix", which has been widely circulated in New York these days, and the audience suddenly turned from tranquility to excitement; it's a pity that today's The performance was indoors, and they didn't have the chance to see the magic of the birds being attracted by the music.

Even so, they were still very satisfied, and they all compared the bird calls they had heard in their minds, guessing how many kinds of birds he had imitated with the suona.

After the performance of "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix", most of the audience applauded enthusiastically as before, and in a corner behind the auditorium, a middle-aged man applauded while whispering, "It's been a long time since I came out. Hearing such an authentic Chinese song, I feel a little homesick; by the way, how did you check the information of these two people? Are they Chinese or American now?"

"After you said that, I immediately contacted China. The two of them used to work in a domestic symphony orchestra and had a daughter. Now Wang Qiming's brother Wang Qitian is taking care of him... In the past, he always went to work honestly in the unit, but it's okay. I didn’t find any problems; as for nationality, the two of them have already got their green cards, but they haven’t been naturalized yet. When they came to us to go through the formalities last time, a staff member heard Wang Qiming talk, and it seems that he has no plans to become naturalized.”

It is inconvenient to work in the United States without a green card, so Shen Long went through the procedure while he was a little more financially affluent. He was very clear about the procedures involved, and it didn't take much effort to get it done.

"Well, when I get back, I will find a chance to get in touch with them, and see if I can invite them to the embassy for a performance during the Mid-Autumn Festival or Spring Festival." The middle-aged man nodded, and the person next to him hurriedly wrote down.

Then it was Guo Yan's turn to take the stage alone, and she brought the famous gourd silk song "Phoenix Bamboo in the Moonlight" to the audience, which also won applause.

After the previous foreshadowing, Shen Long finally came up with "Silk Road", "Night Fight" and some of his new songs. Compared with "Nightingale" and "Together with Orchids", these songs have more traces of traditional Chinese music. Heavy, it may be a bit abrupt at the beginning, but after the adaptation of "Nightingale" and "With Orchids", the audience can already appreciate this kind of music.

It is different from the "Nightingale" and "With Orchids" just now. This time the music is more oriental, but it is still a good song... the music critics have also judged this.

Although it is not consistent with the orthodox music style of New York, it is also in line with his identity,

After all, the style of every outstanding composer has strong national characteristics...Isn’t that the case with the works of Toru Takemitsu and Mr. Kitaro next to him? Someone glanced at Kitaro.

I didn’t come here in vain today. These songs are enough for me to write a good article. Thinking about the upcoming manuscript fee and the halo brought by the identity of a new style of music discoverer, these music critics A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously. It was really a good night.

Oh, by the way, Ms. Banana seemed to have said when she came in just now, let us not rush to leave after the show, there seems to be a reception later, um, we must have a few words with him at the reception, he His strength is already enough to gain a foothold in the New York music industry, and there is definitely no harm in establishing a good relationship with him in advance.

Unknowingly, more than two hours passed quickly, and the concert came to an end. After the performance of "Dawn of Heroes", almost all the audience stood up and gave warm applause.

David Byrne and these unruly guys even whistled, which attracted everyone's attention. What are you doing? This is a classical music concert, not a rock music scene. How did they know that these guys are out-and-out rock musicians, even if they come to this kind of place, they will not change their old habits.

"Good performance, this is a very successful cultural exchange event, Xiao Wang can be regarded as letting Americans feel the charm of our Chinese culture this time, such comrades are worthy of praise!" The middle-aged man also stood up and applauded.

"I think what happened today, as well as the previous events, should be reported to the country and let the domestic media know." The person next to him said smartly. There are benefits to these people too.

"Well, is that a good idea? Go back and collect reports from the American media during this period, as well as articles about today's concert, and send newspapers, magazines, and videotapes back to China." The middle-aged man nodded road.

"Okay, I'll start preparing when I get back." Well, not only newspapers, magazines, and video tapes must be sent, but also our opinions must be sent, otherwise the domestic media will not be able to grasp the direction of publicity.

After applauding for a while, the middle-aged man planned to sit down again and wait to exit, but the audience next to him was still standing and applauding enthusiastically.

Shen Long led Guo Yan, Ma Yo-Yo and other members of the orchestra to bow to the curtain call again and again. The applause from the audience continued unabated. Smiles appeared on the faces of Shen Long and Guo Yan. Yo-Yo Ma quietly gave them a thumbs-up. The audience Their enthusiastic response is enough to prove that their performance was a great success!

This time it was only successful in ordinary concert halls, maybe after a while, we can go to Carnegie Hall to enjoy the same success!
