Superstars of Tomorrow

"It looks like it's getting better soon," Fang Zhao said.

"It's still a little bit close. There are still some problems that have not been solved, but they also said that they can be completely overcome within half a year, and they will be completely cured in the next three to five years."

Speaking of Ming Ye's condition, Ming Cang and his wife's faces were flushed now, and the big stone that weighed them down in their hearts had long been removed.

Before, because everyone was busy, Fang Zhao didn't ask about Ming Ye's treatment in detail, but now he came to visit, just in time to understand. He was also very curious about this, but the previous treatment was not disclosed to the public, and Fang Zhao only learned about the progress from medical journals. But that was from the researcher's point of view, and now he learned about the treatment from Mingcang and his wife.

After talking about the time, it was time to eat.

"Xiao Fang, did you bring the driver? Call us up to eat together. We don't pay much attention here." Su Tong said enthusiastically, "I'll ask you, Teacher Ming, to tell you what you should pay attention to in the concert after dinner."

Yan Biao and Zuo Yu, who were called upstairs, tried to reduce their sense of existence, especially Yan Biao, because Zuo Yu said that he was a gangster and would scare the children. Normally Yan Biao would just roll his eyes and ignore him, but now he seems restrained.

After dinner, Yan Biao and Zuo Yu sat in the living room, facing Su Tong's warm hospitality, their faces stiffened with laughter.

"Would you like tea? Juice?" Su Tong asked.

"No, no, let's just drink some warm water and do it ourselves. Go and do your work. We'll wait here." Zuo Yu said hastily.

Seeing that Yan Biao and Zuo Yu were uncomfortable, Su Tong didn't insist anymore, and took Ming Ye into the room to guide him to talk.

Only Yan Biao and Zuo Yu were left in the living room, finally relaxed.

In the face of rough guys or some shrewd businessmen, they can let go anywhere, but in this kind of family with a strong artistic atmosphere, they really feel a bit restrained, and they dare not speak loudly.

"Hey, Zuo Yu, I want to ask you something." Yan Biao lowered his voice, his face full of curiosity.

"What?"

"That Ming Ye, Professor Ming's son, what kind of disease does he have, is it really good to listen to the boss's music?"

"You can say yes, or you can say no."

"Yes, yes, no, no, what do you mean?" Yan Biao was dissatisfied.

"For example, the Boss' previous "A Hundred Years of Extinction" series of movements is like a key to open the door, allowing the research team to find the direction of treatment. The rest is the work of the research team. As long as you find the right direction, Grasping the key points, you don’t have to listen to those few movements again.”

"To put it simply, if you don't find the right direction, no matter how much time, human and financial resources you spend, it will be in vain." Yan Biao understands why the husband and wife are so good at each other. Never stopped. But think about it differently, if Yan Biao encountered this kind of thing himself, he would do the same.

Yan Biao and Zuo Yu gossiped about what happened before in the living room, while in the study, Ming Cang talked to Fang Zhao about the points to pay attention to in the concert.

When it comes to the concert, Ming Cang is also helpless. Now those people in the upper class despise the vulgarity of money, but they have to ask the performers to try their best to take the high-end route, especially the concert halls where tickets are extremely expensive and severely restricted. It seems that only such occasions are suitable for them High-quality artistic atmosphere.

In other words, those people in the upper class of the circle only recognize the three major music halls in Yanzhou. Even the Golden Age Music Hall, a place where you can have a chance to perform as long as you spend money, will be picky when you mention it. tacky", but still admitted.

This is a major characteristic and a major bad habit in the current circle. Ming Cang's strength alone is limited. Even if he has opinions, he can only adapt to these bad rules.

These Ming Cang also told Fang Zhao that if they cannot be changed, they should obey the rules first.

Ming Cang also talked about some details that are easily overlooked before and after the concert.

After thinking for a while, Ming Cang said: "Well, wait a minute, I'll check it out. You haven't been to the concerts in the three major halls, and you may not have a clear understanding of them, so I'll take you there You’ll understand after watching one, and I have a lot of tickets in my hand, so I’ll take you to see one.”

After all, he used to be the principal of Qi'an Conservatory of Music, and is now the vice president of the Yanzhou Music Association. People of Ming Cang's status will always receive some invitations, and it is common to receive concert tickets.

Usually, Ming Cang and his wife are invited, but because of Ming Ye’s illness, the couple have pushed back except for some more important concerts. Even if they go, only one person will go, and the other will take care of Ming Cang leaf. Anyway, the tickets are delivered, it's up to them to decide whether to go or not.

Fang Zhao watched Ming Cang pick and choose, several well-known young musicians in Yanzhou were all thrown aside by Ming Cang.

Seeing Fang Zhao's doubts, Ming Cang explained: "You can't believe the information on the Internet. You have seen a lot in entertainment companies like Silver Wing. You should also know that as long as the team behind it is strong, black people can be white."

This means that some people here just look very capable, but the team behind them exaggerates them too much. In fact, they are very watery, and there is no value in watching them, and it is a waste of time.

"Too many people just regard holding concerts in the three major music halls as a necessary process, a springboard to climb up. It's not that this is completely wrong. The current situation is indeed like this, but if even the works are just perfunctory , or someone behind the scenes does it for him, and the utilitarian nature is too heavy, and he forgets his original intention, that would be too disappointing to me." Ming Cang sighed. Whether they have devoted their efforts or not, these people can tell when they listen to the work.

"Oh, yes! Ha Wen, this student is still very capable, and he is also very talented in arrangement. The quality of the concert should be good."

Ming Cang pointed to the two e-tickets above, and the other party called, "It's a student I taught before, and it was also taught by your Aunt Su. He came from the Department of Arrangement. He may not have great talent in composition, but his ability in arrangement Very strong."

Check the time, it's the night after tomorrow.

"Do you have time?" Ming Cang asked.

"Yes." Fang Zhao recalled. It's nothing important, he will definitely spare time the night after tomorrow to listen to the concert Ming Cang chose.

After making a decision, Ming Cang asked his wife Su Tong to come over and transfer Su Tong's electronic ticket to Fang Zhao.

"The medical team will come here the day after tomorrow to check Xiaoye. She won't go if she stays at home. I'll go with you." Ming Cang said with a smile, "It's just a weekly checkup, it's okay. Last week she had a meeting and went out for a few days , I am the one who guards, this time she will stay at home, let's go to the concert."

Su Tong naturally had no objection, and asked Fang Zhao if it was enough, and she transferred the other tickets together.

Ming Cang stopped him, "There are a lot of things here that you don't need to read, and reading them will affect your performance. When I have time, I will pick them out carefully before passing them on to him."

When Su Tong thought about it, he was right, so he only transferred Ha Wen's concert ticket.

It was the day of Ha Wen's concert.

When heading to Golden Age, Ming Cang told Fang Zhao about the experience of Ha Wen, a student in the car.

"Ha Wen's performance in the Hall of Music this time is a big step forward in his music career. He is also here in Hall 1. He has been preparing for this concert for 20 years..."

Ha Wen is already in his fifties this year, and he held his first important personal concert much later than many graduates. In fact, shortly after graduation, Ha Wen started preparing for his own concert. If things go well, he will hold the first leap concert of his music career in the No. 1 Hall of Golden Age in the fifth year after graduation. However, things didn't go well.

At that time, Ha Wen's family company was in crisis, and it was impossible to have enough energy and financial resources to put on the concert. Those years were the most difficult period for Ha Wen, but fortunately, he has survived, and this is the reason for today's event .

"Ha Wen's music style is completely different from yours. He is more lyrical and expresses emotions more delicately. His path is different from yours. Just use it as a reference and learn some useful experience." Ming Cang said .

After arriving at the place, Ming Cang will tell Fang Zhao all the details that need to be paid attention to from the entrance to the No. 1 hall.

Fang Zhao's first concert will be prepared by Silver Wing's people. There are many things that Fang Zhao doesn't need to worry about, but what about the future? What if Fang Zhao left Silver Wing and went it alone? The more you know, the easier it will be to deal with it.

Therefore, Ming Cang will explain clearly to Fang Zhao the points that should be paid attention to now.

Fang Zhao was also listening carefully, remembering every detail. Sometimes, an inadvertent mistake by you can change people's impression of you.

It's not the time for Fang Zhao to put on a show, and it's not easy to offend those old seniors in the music industry who were invited.

After entering the venue, sit down according to the seat number on the ticket. There is a sheet of music on the seat, the size of A5 paper, very thin, it looks like paper, and when you open it, there is an electronic screen with the titles of the ten pieces of this concert and the introduction of the author Ha Wen.

Fang Zhao also noticed that among the ten songs, each one was marked with a hollow circle. He knew what this symbol meant, which meant that the copyright had not been sold. If the copyright has been sold, it will be a solid circle.

There were still some whispered discussions in the concert hall, but after the official start, it fell silent.

Ha Wen doesn't look old. After all, the age of people in the new century is right there. They are in their fifties. In the old century, they are only 30 years old, but they are a little fat, and they look very humble. It may be because of personal experience. The reason, more calm, gives a good first impression.

After the opening thank-you speech, the first song was Ha Wen's adaptation of a nursery rhyme from the Genesis period, played on a harmonica.

Harmonica is really a niche instrument in the new century, but combined with this adapted nursery rhyme, the tune is melodious, with some innocence and purity, and some warm feelings.

After the first piece, there are re-arrangements for violin, flute, classical guitar and other instruments solo or ensemble.

For people in their line of work, music is the best way to express their emotions. When presenting their works, they also convey their emotions.

Those with deep knowledge can hear the resonance of music and emotion without even reading the detailed introduction of the works.

There is a break between each song, introducing the background of the composition, and what the author wants to tell the audience. Fang Zhao knew about these procedures in advance.

The tenth song is also the last one of the concert.

The background on the stage is dark blue, some metal light spots and light are flowing like waves, and the stage images play a role in setting off the atmosphere.

The tenth piece is a piano piece played by Ha Wen himself, adapted from a work by a well-known composer two hundred years ago. Fang Zhao once heard Nati Woods play it on an electric guitar.

The original song is cheerful and lively, while the electric guitar version is flamboyant and uninhibited, but the current song is different from the previous two.

On the stage, Ha Wen played with concentration and the tune was soothing, but what he expressed was a deeper and longer emotional trace.

The original song is more than four minutes long, and the adapted piano variation is eight minutes long, almost twice as long, but it does not seem redundant, but expresses the emotions in it more vividly.

It seems that time has gathered into a lake, and the breeze blows, the waves are overwhelming, and the occasional bubbles are full of the sound of the years.

The prosperity is gone, the original intention is not forgotten, the past is not lost, and the beauty will last forever.

This is not the best version of the famous song that Fang Zhao has heard, but it is also ranked in the top three, which is amazing. There is no doubt that this is a high-quality variation version.

No wonder Ming Cang would recommend it.

There is no doubt about the strength of a person who can adapt this famous song two hundred years ago to such an extent, and his love for music can also be seen from the work.

As Ming Cang said, even if Ha Wen has encountered some bad things, endured pressure that most people have never endured, experienced ups and downs, experienced rich to poor and then rich, after seeing the cruelty of reality, still Love life, love music, quite rare.

Thinking of something, Fang Zhao laughed again.

He knew why Ming Cang chose Ha Wen's concert and brought him over to watch it.

Ha Wen does have the strength. In fact, those who can perform here may not all be talented. There are many geniuses, but in the end Ming Cang chose Ha Wen's show and personally brought Fang Zhao to watch.

In fact, Ming Cang was euphemistically telling Fang Zhao not to be blinded by the current high popularity and interests. The ups and downs of the entertainment industry are changing too fast, and no one can know what the next moment of Shining will be. Is it silent, or more brilliant?

No one can guarantee.

For the concert in August, it would be best to be successful. If not, don’t be discouraged. Look at this senior, Ha Wen, who is in his fifties. Isn’t he getting over it step by step?

The facts were indeed as Fang Zhao expected, Ming Cang was worried that Fang Zhao was under too much pressure. After all, Silver Wing is a commercial company, everything is profit-oriented, and other aspects may not be considered.

The scrutiny of the media, the invisible pressure exerted by economic companies, and the evaluation of the public, all may affect his development as a person.

Ming Cang wants to tell Fang Zhao, if the time comes and you fail, and you don't achieve the expected results, don't give up, don't be mentally broken, don't be timid, you are still young, and you have plenty of opportunities.

Make up for yesterday.
