Chapter 1254: Success and Fame
"Last night, at Carnegie Hall in New York, a hurricane from the East blew up. The familiar Mr. Wang Qiming and Mr. Ma Yo-Yo, as well as many talented performers from China, made us obsessed with oriental traditional music..." This is what the New York Times reported.
"Genius music! Genius playing! I swear, this is definitely the most beautiful music performance I have seen in the past ten years. I have only one thought right now, and that is to call Carnegie Hall immediately and urge Encore! It's a pity to only listen to this kind of music once, and it would be a lifetime regret if you miss it!" said the Los Angeles Times.
The "Washington Post" put it this way, "This is a novel, perfect art, it is so elegant, enough to attract American audiences all night, although Mr. Wang Qiming has brought us enough surprises, but This time last night was the biggest one!"
Overnight, Shen Long's performance became the focus of attention of the high society in New York and even the entire United States. They talked about the performance enthusiastically at receptions, golf courses, and cigar clubs. Those who were lucky enough to be present in person became lost the focus at the party, and those who missed it could only listen to their talks with regret.
Seeing so much attention from the public, Carnegie Hall immediately reacted, strongly requesting Shen Long to perform, Shen Long readily agreed, so just a week after his first performance at Carnegie Hall, he He brought Fang Jinlong, Ma Youyou and others back here again, and started the second performance.
The tickets for the second performance more than doubled compared to the first one, but even so, the tickets were still sold out in a shorter time than the last time. Many people who did not buy tickets tried to buy them at a high price, but this time Who is willing to transfer it at that time?
It was not enough that the second show was over, and the news of the third show was released immediately. At the same time, the music company was also discussing with Shen Long, wanting to record an album of live performances for those who can't come to New York, come to Carnegie The audience at the concert hall listens.
At the same time, big cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco also quickly sent invitation letters, inviting Shen Long to perform there. In just one month, Shen Long's performance plan changed from one show to a tour in the United States.
Fang Jinlong and others are both painful and happy. The painful thing is that the pressure of repeated performances is too great, and they feel homesick after being abroad for too long; the happy thing is that their music has conquered the Americans and brought them a lot of money. Income, now the policy is gradually liberalized, coupled with Shen Long's fight for them, the money they can get when they come to the United States this time is much more than when they went to Japan last time.
From the east coast to the west coast, from the south to the north, it took three months to travel all over the big cities in the United States. Everywhere they went, they received a warm welcome from the local Chinese and music fans. It sold out, forming an out-and-out hurricane, sweeping the American music scene.
After the last performance in San Francisco ended, Fang Jinlong and others let out a sigh of relief, "It's finally over, can you finally go back to China now?"
After talking, everyone laughed. Who would have thought that there would be people who would hate going abroad for too long? But for them, after being away from home for so long, they really miss their relatives at home and the familiar meals.
"Uh, I'm really sorry, maybe you can't go home right away." Shen Long interrupted their homesickness apologetically, and took out a thick stack of invitation letters, "Seeing the sensation we caused in the United States, other Countries have also sent invitation letters, some from Canada, some from Japan, some from Britain, some from France...and of course from Austria, they invited us to perform at the Golden Hall in Vienna; I was thinking,
I'm afraid we are going to upgrade from the US tour to the world tour! "
"Ah?~~" Fang Jinlong and the others were dumbfounded. Of course they were happy to show their faces in front of foreigners, but such a high-intensity performance really couldn't last. This was much more tiring than in the past in China. How many performance opportunities?
"Comrades, you have made outstanding contributions to cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. I have brought commendations from relevant leaders..." The comrades from the local consulate came over, read the domestic commendations, and then said, "I hope everyone Make persistent efforts and strive to make such a significant cultural exchange event a success!"
"I didn't say that, isn't it just a performance? Now those guys in China don't know how to envy us, and we can't give up halfway! Teacher Wang, how will the next performance be arranged?" Hearing these words, everyone cheered up again. Excited.
"Don't worry, I'm not willing to tire you out! Canada and the United States are next to each other. Let's go to Vancouver and Toronto for two performances, and then we can go back to China to rest for a while; when everyone is relieved, we will go to Japan. , go to Europe again, and then go to the Golden Hall of Vienna!" Shen Long laughed, he just wanted to tease them, in fact, he certainly knew how hard these people were, and had already negotiated with other countries for a time.
"Say it earlier, Mr. Wang, you scared us enough!" The big guy let out a long breath. Fortunately, the big guy can hold on with this arrangement.
"Come on, you must want to eat Chinese food these days, right? I've reserved the best Chinese restaurant in San Francisco, Gan's Restaurant. Everyone, clean up and let me go out to eat and celebrate!" Shen Long closed it this time. The cheers were bigger than ever before. Although they have eaten in high-end restaurants in the United States during this period, Chinese food is still the most appetizing for them.
After returning to China, I gave everyone a vacation and asked them to bring gifts home and reunite with their families for a month. After resting, they started to embark on a world tour again.
From Japan to Australia, then from the UK to France, from Italy to Germany, and finally came to Vienna, the Holy Land of Western classical music, and performed the last performance in the Golden Hall.
This hurricane started by Shen Long started from New York, swept the entire United States first, then turned around in Japan and turned to Europe, entering the birthplace of Western classical music, allowing Europeans to experience music from China, making They fell into a deep shock, and a burst of Chinese style blew up in Europe.
After the last performance, Shen Long returned to the country with the orchestra. When he got off the plane and set foot on the land of the capital, he thought, I can be considered successful by now, right? I don't know if this task has been successfully completed?
