227【Cannes International Film Festival】

Li Yange was about to arrange for everyone to rehearse "Dream of Hexi Corridor" first, suddenly the door of the rehearsal room was pushed open. Tang Jihong walked in. After seeing Li Yange, he waved and said, "Yange, I asked someone to contact He Shufeng in the United States. She knew that it was you who was invited, and she expressed her great joy."

"Senior Sister He agreed?"

Li Yange's face was happy. Others outside the world may not know He Shufeng, but as a Central Conservatory of Music, he knows how great He Shufeng will achieve in the future.

He Shufeng learned violin and piano since she was a child, and later studied Chinese classical literature and painting. The cultivation brought by these Chinese studies deeply enriched her inner expression of music performance.

Especially after learning the pipa by Li Guanghua, He Shufeng seemed to have opened up the trick. He walked out of the country with a pipa, and later toured in more than 100 big cities in more than 40 countries. Not only did he conquered the audiences of different ethnic groups in the world and achieved great success, but he was also named the nickname "Queen of Pipa".

"Well, I agreed, I said I'll be back by plane these days!"

Director Tang nodded with a smile. He Shufeng knew the ability to play the pipa, so he was very happy for Li Yange when he saw that the other party agreed to the invitation.

A composer's concert is different from a performer's concert. It shows not only works, but also instrumental musical performance. Just like a literati and military advisor who is good at strategizing. He does not have a general who can understand his meaning, and it is difficult for him to win a thousand miles away.

Li Yange was happy for a moment, then calmed down and said to Director Tang: "Director Tang, I will take everyone to rehearse first. If you are fine, please help me see it."

Although Li Yange not only studied composing music at school, he often went to the conducting department and studied music conducting, and also conducted the conducting ceremony at last year. Although he performed well, his experience was not rich enough after all, so he was okay to command and conduct in small occasions.

But the place I went back this time was the Lincoln Art Center, the world's largest and most influential music stage. Anyone who did a little badly would be infinitely magnified by the harsh foreign audience, so he had to show his spirit.

"Okay, everyone, I've read the music score almost the same. Next, we will have the first rehearsal!"

Singer Li Yan took the baton and walked to the front of the band, standing on a round pier. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he took a deep breath and made full preparations before he waved his right hand gently.

Suddenly, the members of the orchestra holding the trombone began to play a low, as if they were the loneliness from the deserted desert of the far border.

...

...

Every day, I go out early and come back late, and the busy and compact rehearsal days have passed day by day.

Time flies.

Before I knew it, more than half a month passed.

By the end of May, Li Yange had to give up his rehearsal work and asked Director Tang to find a professional teacher from the conductor department to help bring the orchestra rehearsal for a period of time. He himself took Cheng Shaojun and Liang Leshu to Europe to prepare to participate in the upcoming "Cannes International Film Festival" and the "European Film Festival, which was postponed for two months."

Since "The Last Emperor" won the American Academy Award in March, although the French Caesar Film Awards only won one "Best Foreign Film Award" and "Best Poster Award" in the same month, this did not conceal the excellence and popularity of the film at all.

It also brought director Bettorucci an extremely confident. According to regulations, he participated in the "Cannes Film Industry" in May, the "Berlin International Film Festival" in June, and the "Venice Film Festival" in eight.

Originally, in early May, Betoruc had already taken all the crew members to Cannes, busy canvassing votes among the major judges, while promoting attempts to sell the movies to more European film companies.

At that time, Betoruc also asked Ning Ying to send a telegram to return home and notified Li Yange to rush over. However, the orchestra's rehearsal time was too tight, and he had no time to accompany the crew to canvass the tickets and run publicity, so he had to ask Ning Ying to help shirk the past, but now it can't be pushed away, because after a month of film exhibition activities, the Cannes Awards Ceremony will be opened.

The crew of "The Last Emperor" won nominations for eight awards as they wished, including Li Yange, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and David Byrne's "Best Composition Award".

Since he has been nominated, Li Yange, the nominee, must be awarded the show.

...

...

Cannes is located near Nice, a harbor city in southern France. It is a beautiful leisure town along the Mediterranean coast. May to October are the best tourist season in Cannes every year. Therefore, the Cannes International Film Festival is usually held in early May or mid-May, and then the film exhibition will last for a whole month, and then the award ceremony will be held.

It has to be said that the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival were very thoughtful and very smart, because every year from the beginning to the end of the film festival, it can bring a lot of tourism economy to this small town on the Mediterranean Sea.

On a spacious business car, Li Yange was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of colorful beach pants on the lower body. Looking at the sea water not far away, the crowded people on the beach, he suddenly said with a headache: "I said Sister Liang, didn't you say that you came to Cannes for my album? Why are you thinking about bringing us to the beach to play?"

This time Liang Leshu followed him to Cannes, mainly preparing for Li Yange's second album. Polygon has a great influence in Asia, but in Europe, the rest of the countries have not developed very well.

Liang Leshu wanted to use Li Yange to be nominated for the "Best Composition Award" at the Cannes Film Festival to see if she can cooperate with some European music companies. Regardless of whether she can succeed or not, it is at least a good attempt.

Just like that: Music has no borders.

Li Yange's music album is pure instrumental music, which foreigners can understand even if they want to.

"Isn't this waiting for you to win the award? When you win the award, the chances of us talking about it are much higher."

Liang Leshu smiled and said, "Besides, it's rare to come to Cannes. I heard that the scenery here is good before, so I must come to the beach to have fun."

As soon as these words came out, Li Yange was speechless.

Cheng Shaojun next to him also had a domestic student translator invited from the local area and laughed out loud.

"Okay, Yan Ge, the genius will start after the award ceremony. Since we are here, let's have fun."

Cheng Shaojun knew that Li Yange had to go back almost every time because of the pressure of rehearsals. She saw it and felt pain in her heart. So after coming to Cannes, she knew that the scenery here was good, so she asked Liang Leshu to suggest that everyone come out to play together, just to relax Li Yange's anxiety.
