A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

Hilton Hotel Los Angeles.

In the banquet hall No. 3, there were already a lot of guests, and there were a burst of light laughter while drinking.

Today is the day for director Bettorucci to hold a cocktail party. For today's party, he invited many friends in the United States, and asked Li Yange to invite Yo-you Ma to come.

I have to say that Yo-Yo Ma is really popular in the American music industry now. When those judges who like classical music heard that Yo-Yo Ma came, they agreed to be invited to attend the cocktail party.

In addition to these judges, Bettorucci is a well-known director in Italy, and has also filmed films in Hollywood and won some awards. Most of the friends he invited are actors, producers or directors who are somewhat well-known in Hollywood.

The evening party was not interesting, it was nothing more than that Bettorucci wanted to chat with these judges and canvass the votes. In addition, they were all a bunch of foreigners whom they didn’t know, so Li Yange was not very interested.

If it weren't for the invitation of Yo-you Ma, Li Yange would rather accompany Cheng Shaojun to watch some Hong Kong videotapes in the suite upstairs, than coming to attend such a boring cocktail party.

After communicating with several people he knew, he found Li Yange standing alone in the corner with a goblet. After saying something to his friends, he walked over and said, "Don't you seem to like this kind of occasion?"

Li Yange shook his head: "It's okay, but everyone here is foreigners, so you know."

I understand?

This sentence was confused by Zunlong, but when he thought about it carefully, he could understand what Li Yange meant. After all, when he came to the United States alone, he was not very adaptable to this occasion where almost all foreigners were.

Thinking of this, Zunlong nodded and said, "I can understand that when I first came to the United States to develop, I did have this idea, but after I gradually integrated into it, I found that it was no different."

"Well, you're right, maybe you're not used to it."

Li Yange didn't want to talk about this, so he casually found an excuse and asked: "Have Brother Long ever thought about returning to the mainland to develop?"

"Return to the mainland?" Zunlong was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don't have this idea yet."

The two chatted together. After a while, after Zunlong saw a director he knew, he also said something to Li Yange and took the wine glass.

Li Yange returned to a state of being alone.

At this time, Ning Ying was accompanying director Bettorucci, lobbying with several older judges.

Chen Chong was chatting with the producer with a few foreigners he didn't know.

"Mr. Li!" Yo-you Ma came over not far away and said with a smile: "I have been looking for you all the time. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li went to this corner to find Qingjing."

Li Yange said: "Yes, there are so many people, I'm not used to this occasion."

"That's great. I'm just about to talk to Mr. Li about what I haven't finished last time."

Yo-you Ma's face was full of joy. He was invited to attend the cocktail party because of Li Yange.

The two hit it off and found a corner where there was no one in the cocktail party, sat down and chatted while drinking.

Speaking of which, Yo-Yo Ma, 32, is already in his thirties, but his love for music remains unabated. Especially in recent years, he has been committed to the integration of music, constantly integrating folk music, popular music and even marginal instruments from all over the world into his creations.

But perhaps because Yo-Yo Ma, who has been used to classical music since childhood, has never found a direction for integration. However, after listening to Li Yange's music "Remembrance of the Forbidden City", "Dawn of Heroes", and "The Original Scenery of Hometown", he found that Chinese folk music seemed to be of great help to his creation, and he was not ashamed to ask, and Li Yange asked a lot of questions about folk music.

"I like Kitaro's "Silk Road" created very much. This song adds a lot of oriental elements. The song uses a lot of electronic music, which not only brings a full atmosphere of the Western Regions, but also has a sense of modern rhythm." Yo-yo Ma likes Kitaro's "Silk Road" series very much. When Kitaro came to the United States to develop, he also specially met with the other party and talked about the ideas about the creation of "Silk Road".

"Yes, Mr. Kitaro's "Silk Road" series is indeed very classic. I remember discussing this series with him when he was making "Dawn of Heroes" in Japan, which was of great help to me."

When Yo-you Ma mentioned this song, Li Yange couldn't help but remember the music of the same name produced by Yo-you Ma and Tan Dun for more than ten years. The two have the same names, but they give people a completely different feeling. This is not a matter of good or bad, but the most intuitive feeling brought to the audience by the song itself.

The two chatted for a long time, and some people came to find Yo-yu Ma during this period, but they saw that he seemed very busy. Most of them just stopped and listened for a while. They saw that the content of the conversation between the two was about music, some stayed and some left.

Most of the people who came to attend the cocktail party this time were Hollywood producers, singers, actors, and many of them were very interested in music. In addition, there was another famous cellist, Yo-yu Ma. They either sat on a stool or stood around, listening to the communication between the two, and from time to time they spoke out their thoughts.

This picture, which looked like a cultural salon, quickly attracted more people's attention. They came over curiously to see what was going on here. When they heard these people discussing different ethnic and classical music from different countries, they were also stunned.

Isn't this an ordinary cocktail party?

Why did it turn into a music exchange meeting?

A judge of the American Film Academy in his sixties, listening to Li Yange, who was sitting and talking about music from different ethnic groups in various countries around the world, his rich knowledge and a slightly immature face made him very curious and couldn't help asking: "Betorucci, who is this young man?"

"His name is Yan Ge Li, and he is the composer who makes the soundtrack for our movies." Seeing Douglas Baker seemed to be very interested in Li Yan Ge, Bettoruc also briefly talked about Li Yan Ge's identity.

When Douglas Baker heard that the young man was still a student from a Chinese university, he said in disbelief: "My God, the great music in your movie is actually created by a student?"

With decades of memories of later generations and a university professor, the knowledge he possesses is not as shallow as Li Yange looks now.

"Yes, Mr. Baker, I was very surprised when I learned this news." Bettorucci also couldn't believe it after hearing "Remembrance of the Forbidden City" written by Li Yange.

Douglas Baker stared at Li Yange's face and said, "He is a genius!"
