Chapter 1250: Carnegie Hall

Since the beginning of the awards ceremony, the guests at the scene have been hearing the names of "The Last Emperor", best costume design, best art direction, best sound effects, best photography, best editing, best adapted screenplay, best The director, the best film, and of course Shen Long and David Byrne's best original music for a film... won a total of nine awards.

This number is now second only to "Ben-Hur", which won eleven awards in 1959, and "West Side Story", which won ten awards in 1961, ranking third in Oscar history.

The crew members of "The Last Emperor" huddled together, and none of the nine nominations was left behind. This result is really exciting, but among the many excited people, Zun Long and Chen Chong are a little embarrassed. They both have nominations It's really ironic that a film that has won so many awards has not been nominated for an actor award.

This is not a blockbuster with special effects like "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King". Even "Titanic", which is famous for its special effects, has Kate Winslet's Best Actress and Gloria Stewart's Best Actress. Nominations for supporting roles.

Shen Long shook his head secretly. It seems that my development in the United States also has a ceiling, but fortunately, I have known for a long time that I have not become an American citizen these years. I will go back to China when the things in the United States are almost completed. That's my home field.

I was just thinking about China, but Wang Qitian called him the next day, "Qiming, you are so awesome this time, and you are on the news at 7 o'clock in the evening! You are all on the news! It’s a lot of praise, saying that you are a representative of outstanding overseas Chinese! My dad also opened the Moutai you got back last time, saying that you can be regarded as a glory for our old Wang family.”

"Why are you Chinese? I am a serious Chinese. I have not become an American citizen. I report to the consulate on time and retain my nationality in accordance with relevant regulations. I plan to return to China and settle down in a few years." Shen Long laughed. .

"Hey, you've done so well in the United States, why come back? You don't know the difference between China and the United States." Wang Qitian couldn't understand. Everyone wants to go to the United States now, as long as they can go to the United States, even You are also willing to wash the dishes; it’s good for you, you have already made a name for yourself in the United States and made a lot of money, why don’t you enjoy the corrupt life of capitalist society instead of going back to China?

"Hey, you don't know, although Liang Yuan is not the hometown of long-term love, no matter how good the United States is, it belongs to the Americans, not mine!" Shen Long dragged his words.

"That's because you don't want to be. Those who wash dishes have become American citizens. Isn't it a casual thing for you to join? If you want me to say that you are hypocritical, if you don't want to, why did you try your best to go to the United States?" ?” Wang Qitian still doesn’t understand, what does he think is good in China? Is it as moist as the United States?

"I thought the same way before I came out, but I didn't realize it until I arrived in the United States. It's not what you thought at all!" Forget it, Wang Qitianguang saw that he was prosperous, but he didn't see other people's depression. Temporarily unable to reason with him, Shen Long didn't bother to say, "By the way, I heard that you are going to raise it again recently?"

"Hey, whether to mention it or not, that's the thing. It's just a small shabby place. You can kill three or five if you throw a brick in the capital." Wang Qitian said reservedly, but Shen Long could hear that, He was still quite happy.

In the sequel of "Peking People in New York", "New Yorkers Back to Beijing", Wang Qitian was a deputy until he retired. It is only a few years now that he has jumped to this position. This is definitely inseparable from Shen Long. , Shen Long is also very happy about this, China and the United States are different after all, the faster he rises, the more convenient it will be for him to return to China to do things in the future.

"Then I have to congratulate,

When it's settled, I'll go back and celebrate for you! Ning Ning has also been talking about the snacks in the capital recently. "Well, leave some money for him when you go back, and help him solve his worries, so that he can fight better.

"No, if you want to come back and see your sister-in-law and nephew, then I welcome it, let me celebrate this!" Wang Qitian has made great progress over the years, and he will never relax in these small details. Listen to him In this way, Shen Long feels more at ease, so that he can walk steadily and long in the future.

At that time, it will be much more convenient for him to return to the country. He knows some things in the future, but how can outsiders be reliable with his own brother?

In one awards season, after winning three awards and countless small awards in succession, Shen Long's house immediately became lively, and people came to visit almost every day, including people from the film circle, music circle, and of course those from the classical music circle. Boss, the classical music session also needs to be well-fed!

Especially at this time, pop music is constantly eroding the territory of classical music, and the life of those self-admired musicians is getting more and more difficult. At this time, newcomers with enough influence are needed to restore the decline, and Shen Long has now become One of the most popular musicians nowadays, they will definitely not let go of such an opportunity.

On this day, Yo-Yo Ma called and invited Shen Long's family to his house for a party, so on the weekend, Long Shen took Guo Yan and Ning Ning to Yo-Yo Ma's house in a new car he just bought.

When I went to his home, I saw that they were not the only ones today, there were also many big names in the New York classical music circle, such as the former director of the New York Philharmonic, Bernstein, the current director, Zubin Mehta, and so on.

Seeing them, Shen Long already guessed the purpose of this gathering, chatting and laughing with them in the gathering, without any nervousness at all.

Guo Yan also saw the problem, but she was not as calm as Shen Long. She found an opportunity to whisper in his ear, "Qiming, why are you not in a hurry? If we have a good relationship with them, we can have a good relationship with them." If you cooperate with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, you will have the opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall, so you have to perform well!"

"Don't worry, being on the pole is not a business! I'm thinking, today's gathering may not be Youyou's idea, it's just borrowing his place, and the relationship between him and me! Especially at this time, we The more calm you have to be." Cooperation is definitely necessary, but the conditions for cooperation are different.

Shen Long understood that they wanted to take advantage of the reputation they had gained from winning consecutive awards. Since that was the case, then wait for them to offer conditions first. If he was too anxious, he would not be able to get any good conditions.

So he continued to chat with Zubin Mehta, Bernstein and others. At the end of the chat, it was Bernstein who couldn't bear it first, "Wang, do you want to perform at Carnegie Hall?"
