241 [Double on the news broadcast again]
When Ma Yo-you said that he would handle the concert, Li Yange was very relieved to leave it to the other party with full responsibility.
I think Yo-Yo Ma has been in New York for so many years and must have known many companies that prepare for concerts or similar agencies.
After the end, Li Yange took everyone back to the hotel. At this time, the hotel had already prepared a celebration banquet. They were all acquaintances, and everyone was drinking while venting the hard work of rehearsals during this period.
"Li Yange!"
Zhuo Jun walked quickly to Li Yange with a smile on his face, and a middle-aged man was immediately following him.
"Reporter Zhuo! I thought you were not here!" Li Yange didn't see this Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhuo Jun when he was in the backstage. He thought the other party was back, but he didn't expect to come to the hotel to attend the celebration banquet.
Zhuo Jun said: "Haha, how could I not come for your celebration banquet? I sent someone to send the news content back before, which took a little time and rushed to the scene after I finished my work."
"That's right, then we have to have a good drink later. Thank you for the last interview."
When Li Yange came to the United States to participate in the Oscar in March, he had an exclusive interview with Zhuo Jun. He didn't care much at the time. But when he came to the United States again, he saw so many Chinese audiences at the concert, and he heard that they all saw the contents from Xinhua News Agency's news newspapers, and he was very grateful.
Zhuo Jun said: "Hey, I have to thank you for the interview. Do you know that our newspaper sales increased by 7% in that interview."
After the two of them greeted for a moment, Li Yange then looked at the middle-aged man behind Zhuo Jun and asked curiously: "Reporter Zhuo, don't you know what this gentleman is?"
"Oh, look at my brain!" Zhuo Jun slapped his forehead and said regretfully: "Consul Chen, look at my memory. I just wanted to introduce you. Li Yange, let me introduce you. This is Vice Consul Chen of our embassy."
"It's okay, it's fun to listen to your chat."
Consul Chen took the initiative to extend his hand without waiting for Zhuo Jun’s introduction, saying, “Li Yange, I have long admired you. I heard your name when I won the Oscar.”
When Li Yange heard that the other party was the consul of the embassy, although he was surprised, he still kept a polite smile on his face and stretched out his hand and smiled: "Hello Consul Chen!"
"I listened to your concert today, it's great! I am worthy of being an excellent young composer in China. Whether it is your song "Remembrance of the Forbidden City" or "Dream of the Hexi Corridor", I write very well! There are also "Three Plum Blossoms" and "Spring River Moon Night", which are also performed very well. I haven't heard these two music for several years. I didn't expect that when I listened again, I was on this distant American land!"
As a consul of the Embassy in the United States, Consul Chen prefers to promote the music of his motherland, so his favorites are "Dream of the Hexi Corridor" and "Remembrance of the Forbidden City", as well as several classic folk music from China.
Especially the song "Spring River Moon Night", almost aroused Consul Chen's longing for his motherland after being away from home!
After feeling the emotion in his heart, Consul Chen sighed and said, "It's a pity that you only have one concert, otherwise, I would like to bring my colleagues to listen to it."
Li Yange hurriedly said: "Consul Chen, we are already communicating with the United States and are preparing to arrange a few more concerts."
"That's great! It seems that I can listen to it again." Consul Chen showed a happy expression. He loved music himself and was able to play the erhu well, so he was very happy to hear the concert.
Seeing the other party's joyful expression, Li Yange hesitated for a moment and said, "Consul Chen, I wonder if there is a bigger venue in the embassy?"
"how?"
"I want to take the orchestra to the embassy to perform live for the comrades!" Li Yange had this idea because of Consul Chen's words just now, "I am in American land."
The embassy's work is no better than anything else. It may not have the chance to go back once a year. It is stationed in the embassy all year round, and everything you see is foreigner. Li Yange thought that this time he happened to bring the Dunhuang Orchestra here, so it would be better to go to the embassy to perform once.
Consul Chen's eyes lit up and he said, "Doesn't this delay your concert?"
"The specific time has not been decided yet, so there is no delay."
"Okay, I'll ask the Consul General for instructions after I go back. If possible, I hope the time can delay some days. It's just a while before the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day. At that time, our embassy will also hold events with fellow compatriots in Chinatown. If Comrade Li, you can bring the band members to perform, I think it will be very exciting!"
"no problem!"
It is only early September, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to end the month, and the National Day is also around. Li Yange thinks that his concert is probably only in these ten days, and it is just enough to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.
At night.
As the celebration banquet ended, everyone left one after another. When they were about to go back to their room to rest, Li Yange gathered everyone together and talked about the possible number of concerts and the event of performing at the embassy.
Everyone was very enthusiastic about performing the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day activities of the Embassy, and they agreed, but the words of Senior Sister He Shufeng were a little bit unsuitable for the next concert.
She is now a visiting professor at the University of Austin and Southwestern University in Texas, specializing in teaching Chinese music. This time she was able to come to Li Yange's orchestra because of the two-month summer vacation.
School had already started a few days ago, but for the sake of the performance, she had been taking leave for several days, and now she has to go back to teach classes.
Seeing this, although Li Yange felt that it was a pity that he would not have lost his senior sister to the pipa musician, he could not delay his normal work.
Fortunately, the rest of the people agreed at once, but Li Yange needed to tell the band they were in. After all, everyone has jobs now.
Now that we come to the United States, we are on orders, but the next concert is not the case.
Li Yange naturally responded to this point. He had already thought about how to send a telegram to the country tomorrow and talked about it with Director Tang and Teacher Du and others.
...
...
At this time, it was still eleven o'clock in the United States, and the distant motherland was now eleven o'clock in the afternoon.
Xinhua News Agency has sent back to China overnight the news about Li Yange's successful performance at the Lincoln Art Center in the United States.
It was noon on the other side of Xinhua News Agency. After receiving the fax information, it immediately reported it.
By the evening, Li Yange once again showed his face on the news broadcast.
"Yesterday at 6:15 p.m. on September 6, US time, my country's outstanding young composer Li Yange led the "Dunhuang Orchestra" to hold a grand solo concert with the Lincoln Art Center in New York, USA.
Li Yange was the director of the concert, and Chinese young performer Wu Man, pipa player He Shufeng, and famous Chinese cellist Yo-yu Ma performed passionately.
The famous Lincoln Center, the famous music hall, could accommodate 3,000 people, was packed. The wonderful performance won warm applause from the audience.
The concert that night kicked off in "Remembrance of the Forbidden City" composed by Li Yange. The music composed by Li Yange, such as "Dream in the Hexi Corridor", "Dunhuang", "Prayer for a Thousand Years", "Dawn of Heroes", and traditional Chinese folk music such as "Three Plum Blossoms" and "Flowers in the Spring River" were highly praised by the American people..."
When I heard the description of Li Yange in the news broadcast, Teacher Du, Director Tang and others secretly stunned their tongues, "What a guy, is this on the news broadcast again?"
Xue Ke, Dou Dawei and other friends are also envious. This is CCTV's news broadcast. Li Yange has been on three occasions this year!
Li Yange's parents and grandparents were even more excited. Although they knew that Li Yange went to the United States to perform, they did not expect to see him on TV news.
If there is another person who is the happiest person, besides Li Yange's family, who is particularly happy, that is Liang Leshu!
She has now negotiated with Polykin that the distribution rights of Li Yange's second album "Dunhuang" in the mainland. She is waiting for Japan to produce the album. After sending the sample, she can ask the factory to work overtime to produce it.
Now that Li Yange has been on the news broadcast again, his fame has increased again, and the increase in sales of the album is definitely obvious.
Chapter completed!
