Chapter 1239: Japanese Sensation
"Wow, Mom, is this my new home?" When she came out of the airport and saw the big house in front of her, Ning Ning felt as if she was in a dream, changing from a small two-bedroom apartment of 40 square meters in the capital to the outskirts of New York. She couldn't adapt to the villa of more than two hundred square meters for a while.
"Let's live there for two years, and when you're in high school, we'll change to a bigger one!" Shen Long took Ningning into the house, and took her to see the living room, study room, her bedroom, and practice room. , Ningning didn't blink a lot during the whole process, all this was simply too dreamy, she secretly twisted her arm, and only then did she believe that she was not dreaming.
"Wow, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck!" Ning Ning threw herself on the bed, rolling around with the dolls of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
"Tomorrow, let's have dinner with my aunt, and then I'll take you to Disneyland." Let's go shopping first to gain knowledge, and then we'll talk about study and school when we come back.
Now that the conditions at home are better, and I go to a good school, and I and Guo Yan have no problems, I believe Ning Ning will not be as tragic as in the TV series, right?
The next day, my aunt and uncle arrived at Shen Long's home on time and brought gifts to Ning Ning. Since Shen Long became famous, my aunt has strengthened her relationship with them. A musician came out of the family. It's also a good thing; when we met this time, my aunt and uncle were not as arrogant as before, and their attitudes were amiable. At first glance, they seemed to be relatives who had always had a good relationship.
Hey, this kind of thing is the same everywhere. Didn’t Guo Degang say that the poor can’t hook their relatives with ten steel hooks while standing on the crossroads, and the rich can’t get away with unintentional guests and friends in the deep mountains and old forests.
No matter what you say, they are also relatives, and to be honest, after coming to New York, apart from being a little cold, they didn't do anything to feel sorry for themselves, and it would be a bit petty to struggle with this.
After receiving their aunt's family, Shen Long and Guo Yan took Ning Ning for a stroll in New York first, then went to Los Angeles, had a good time in Disneyland for two days, and then returned home and told her about the school She analyzed the differences between Chinese and American schools, so that she could prepare in advance.
In addition, I held several parties at home and invited parents around to bring their children to play, so that Ningning made many friends before entering school, so that she would not feel lonely and lonely after school.
With sufficient preparations, Ning Ning adapted quickly after coming to the new environment. Every day when she came back from school, Shen Long and Guo Yan would talk to her attentively about what happened in school and help her analyze problems with a relatively equal attitude. Ning Ning was also willing to tell the truth to them, and Shen Long gradually felt relieved.
With the family affairs settled, he can focus on his work again, and he produced several good songs one after another, such as Zhao Jiping's "Yellow River Far Away". I thought of this song when I came to the scenery where the momentum would be red.
Zhao Jiping, as the first musician in mainland China signed by an American record company, his strength should not be underestimated. His symphonic music "Sunbird", symphonic narrative poem "Farewell My Concubine", chamber music work "Guan Shanyue--Silk "Road Impression" are well received by the international music circle.
He has cooperated with internationally renowned performers and orchestras such as Yo-Yo Ma and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and "Yellow River Far Away" is also one of his masterpieces, and it will definitely win praise when it is released.
Facts were just as Shen Long expected, this song really caused quite a stir in the United States, and music critics gave it a high evaluation, and it also received enthusiastic responses from the audience during the public performance.
Shen Long's status in the American music industry has also improved,
But there is still a little gap between entering the top circle and holding a concert at Carnegie Hall, and we need to wait for the right time.
At this time, Toei Co., Ltd.'s "Three Kingdoms" animation film first part was finally completed, and it aroused enthusiastic response after it was broadcast in Japan, so Chihara Rinto immediately found Shen Long and told him that what he said before The theme concert can begin.
So Shen Long simply put aside his entanglement with Carnegie Hall for the time being, entrusted Ningning to Guo Yan's aunt to take care of him, brought Guo Yan back to China, gathered the performers who worked with him last time, and brought the whole class People and horses went to Japan and held "Three Kingdoms" theme concerts in many cities in Japan.
Their performance was warmly welcomed by Japanese music lovers. Everywhere they went, the tickets were sold out. The local media scrambled to report it.
There are even many fanatical music fans who specially come to wait outside the hotel where they are staying, so that they can take photos with them and get some autographs when they come out.
"My darling, why are the Japanese so enthusiastic?" Fang Jinlong, who was still young at the moment, was so surprised to see this scene that he didn't dare to go out for shopping.
Shen Long smiled and said nothing, when you are really famous in the future, come to Japan again, that would be called enthusiasm! Japanese music fans regard this master who is good at playing more than 300 musical instruments as a god.
"However, Japan does preserve a lot of good things. I was very excited when I saw a Japanese performer play shakuhachi two days ago. Although shakuhachi has existed in China for a long time, there are not many people in China now. Yes, I have to find an opportunity to learn shakuhachi, so that no one will say that China does not value traditional culture!" Fang Jinlong said.
"If you want to learn this, I'll go to Rinto Chihara and ask him to introduce you to a shakuhachi master. Do you communicate with each other? I'm thinking about it. They are also envious of your accomplishments in pipa." Shen Long of course I'm happy to see it happen.
In fact, the reason why the shakuhachi declined in China was because China found a better alternative instrument in the future. The sound of the Nanxiao is mellow and soft, while the sound of the shakuhachi is slightly bleak, which is not liked by the scholar-officials. Therefore, after the Song Dynasty, Xiao and flute gradually replaced the shakuhachi.
On the contrary, the Japanese are obsessed with the bleak flavor of shakuhachi, so it has been inherited and carried forward in Japan, and has been passed down to this day.
"Then thank you Teacher Wang!" Fang Jinlong listened to the music. Wang Qiming is older than him and has a higher status in the music industry, so he has been used to calling him a teacher since he joined the orchestra.
"You're welcome, this performance in Japan has been successfully completed, but don't slack off, everyone; I am also working hard in New York, and strive to bring you to the United States to perform one day." Shen Long's goal is not only Japan.
