Early the next morning, after Li Yange got up, he was about to tell Ning Ying that he might have to go to New York in the past two days, but who knew that he happened to meet Bettorucci who was going out in the aisle. When he saw Li Yange, Bettorucci said with joy: "Li, you were so great yesterday. Three judges have told me in private that they would watch our movie again."

"Uh?" Li Yange's head was full of question marks, and he didn't understand what was going on now. Until Bettorucci said what happened last night, he was amused and laughed. He was just discussing the national music of different countries with Yo-you Ma, so why was the judges valued it.

"Lee, if nothing unexpected happens, the chances of our movie being nominated multiple times this time will be high, and your Best Composition Award is also expected to be nominated." Bettorucci remembered what Douglas Baker said yesterday, and his inner excitement could not be calmed for a long time.

Douglas Baker is a very famous judge at the American Film Academy. He was once the most famous gold medal critic in Hollywood in the 1950s and 1960s. It is said that any movie he commented in the newspaper that he thought was good can set off a movie viewing frenzy.

Douglas Baker, who can set off a movie fan frenzy, naturally became the target of several major film companies, and they all wanted him to promote his own movies. However, Douglas Baker was different from the film critic who received money at that time. He worked as a film critic for more than ten years. Every time he published any good film review in publicly published publications such as newspapers and magazines, even today, is still regarded as a classic film.

Just yesterday, Douglas Baker told Bettorucci very seriously that he liked the movie "The Last Emperor" very much, and he would also recommend more friends and judges to take this movie seriously.

These words made Betorucci not sleep well for the whole night, and his mind was full of wondering whether he could win the Oscar for Best Director or Best Picture.

Looking at Bettorucci who was excited, Li Yange could understand his mood very well and smiled and said, "This is mainly because the film you made by director is of great quality. I believe that the judges are full of the vision of discovering excellent works."

"You're right." Bettorucci clenched his fists slightly.

"By the way, director, I think I don't need me in the next PR, right?" Li Yange asked.

"Well, I have handed over the next PR to the professional team. When the nomination on the 13th is released, I think you can go back to China to celebrate the New Year." Bettorucci patted Li Yange's shoulder and said, "Li, thank you for your help this time, Youyouma agreed."

"It should be, I'm also a member of the movie, and don't you say that I have a great hope to win the Best Movie Composition Award?"

"Of course, I believe you, Mr. Baker loves your music very much."

After chatting with Bettorucci in the corridor for a long time, until Ning Ying got up, Li Yange remembered the serious business and told her and the director that he might have to go to New York these days.

Of course, the two of them have no meaning. The nomination public relations have passed. The public relations that really won the Oscars in March have just begun. This kind of public relations has nothing to do with Li Yange, and even director Bettorucci has nothing to do with it.

Because there will be a professional public relations team, in order to attract votes, they will target the personal hobbies of each judge.

...

...

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Li Yange and Cheng Shaojun carefully prepared some gifts, and then took a plane to New York. After contacting Yo-you Ma, the two went to Ma's house to visit.

Ma Yo-you's father, Ma Xiaojun, is already in his seventies this year, but he looks pretty tough and full of energy. When he heard Ma Yo-you say that Li Yange and his two came to visit him from home, he smiled happily: "In the 25th year of the Republic of China, that is, before I went to France to study in 1936, I went to Wuhou Temple in Rongcheng with my friends. I still remember that there was a dense bamboo forest in the backyard. On a whim, I played a mountain flowing water with my friends."

Li Yange said: "I met a soulmate from the mountains and flowing waters. I think that gentleman must be your best friend, Mr. Ma."

"I am a very good friend of mine. It's a pity that during the Anti-Japanese War, I was persecuted by the Japanese because of creating patriotic songs."

Ma Xiaojun shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention the past, but instead focused on the song "The Original Scenery of Hometown" created by Li Yange, and praised this song very much. When he heard that Li Yange is still a student of the Central Conservatory of Music, Ma Xiaojun said in surprise: "Are you still a student of Yangyin?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yange remembered that Ma Xiaojun's teacher was also the first dean of the school, and then smiled and said, "Yes, I am a freshman in the 1986 class. He said that he had some connection with Mr. Ma. I heard from friends that Dean Ma is your mentor."

"Yes, I still remember that after the teacher was the dean, he wrote to me and invited me to teach in China, but for some reason, he couldn't go back." When talking about his mentor, Ma Xiaojun sighed. Ma Sicong died of illness in Philadelphia a few months ago, and he went to attend the funeral.

Li Yange also knew about this. At the end of May, some leaders of Yangyin held a memorial service after learning about Dean Ma's death.

Speaking of Ma Sicong, many people may not know him, but his creation of "Homesickness Song" is definitely familiar, because this song was later written by Guo Moruo and renamed "Oriental Red"!

After chatting for a while, Mr. Ma might still be older and his spirits are getting worse. Seeing this, Li Yange also helped him with Yo-you Ma to rest on the second floor.

Just coming to the door and the two went downstairs, Yo-yu Ma said: "Mr. Li will hold a personal concert in Carnegie Concert Hall next Wednesday. I want to play your song "The Original Scenery of Hometown" at the concert. I wonder if you have time, Mr. Li?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yange was slightly stunned, a little confused about what Ma Yoyo meant, and said curiously: "Mr. Ma, I didn't understand what you mean."

"That's right. After I came back these days, I have been listening to the song "The Original Scenery of Hometown" you created. I tried to integrate the style of the cello. I found that although the effect was pretty good, it did not have the ethereal inspiration of the monk, so I wanted to invite Mr. Li to perform with me on stage."

Li Yange couldn't believe his ears and invited him to perform together? That's the Carnegie Concert Hall, only the world's top musicians have the opportunity to perform on stage.

This is like an ordinary musician who suddenly heard that he was invited to perform in the Great Hall of the People. This is really surprising!
