In early September, as the general issue of the second half of the "Voice of Vienna", a handsome and beautiful young man appeared on the cover of this issue. It was a handsome, black-haired young man holding a violin, wearing a white shirt, black and white against the background of the black curtain, very eye-catching.
The interview that Qi Mu conducted in early August has finally been published in the second half of the "Voice of Vienna" general issue, and unexpectedly, he has directly become the cover character.
There are many cases where the chief of Wei Ai became the cover character of the magazine, but not all of them. For example, the former chief of Wei Ai, Lyon Zayev, was not able to appear on the cover and only introduced on the inside page. Obviously, the same chief is also divided into upper and lower levels. Leon Zayev's violin level is indeed excellent, but it has not yet reached the level of admiration of "Voice of Vienna".
When Qi Mu received this magazine, Mr. Tuckerman still repeatedly said with emotion: "Case really likes your music, Xiao Qi, I think he actually used four pages to introduce you. This is really hard to come by." After a pause, he suddenly thought: "Oh yes, who is the violinist who became the cover last time... It's Kedori of Bai Ai! Haha, Xiaoqi, you are awesome! "
Indeed, most classical music magazines like these top orthodox magazines will not use characters as their covers. They would rather use a piano or a violin as the theme, rather than arbitrarily invite a musician to be their cover character.
Therefore, not all musicians can be on the covers of these magazines, but as long as they are on the covers, they must be famous musicians in the industry!
And now, Qi Mu is finally among the ranks of this group of people.
"And this time it's still the cover of the general issue of the second half of the year... Xiao Qi, you are so awesome! No, I have to buy a few more magazines and put them in the cafe, so that everyone can have afternoon tea. You can take a look, haha!"
Mr. Tuckerman left in a hurry, while Qi Mu looked at him dumbfoundingly. It took a long time before he bowed his head and turned over the thick "Voice of Vienna". His photo is good on the cover, but the formal introduction article is placed in the middle of the magazine.
Qi Mu opened the article carefully and saw that half of the content was interviews and dialogues between him and Mr. Case, and half of the content was written by Mr. Case himself.
Now that he has become the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Keith Zelazny's focus on musicians is naturally more than just his music. In this article, Mr. Case conducted a systematic and careful analysis from Qi Mu's growth trajectory to his music style, and made a beautiful compliment in the last few paragraphs.
Qi Mu has heard a lot of compliments, but this time, his sight still stopped on a few lines, and he didn't move away for a long time.
"Mu Qi's piano sound is orthodox and perfect, with superb skills and meticulous control of bowing. His music is biased towards the classics mixed with romanticism, and when combined with the romantic and beautiful Wei Ai, it is a brand new world. However, I personally think that Qi's violin style is more biased towards Bai Ai, which is also a perfect metallic tone. Perhaps someday the two will have the opportunity to work together to produce a new effect of harmony. 』
The bright sunshine came through the windows. When the orchestra's training officially started today, Qi Mu put down the magazine in his hand, pushed the door and left the chief lounge, and guided all members to the rehearsal hall to start a whole day of practice. .
Recently, Wei Ai is recording the 2017 annual album. After the unanimous agreement of the orchestra member assembly, Handel's album will be recorded this year. So before the tour in the second half of the year started, rehearsal and recording had to be quickly operated.
Mr. Dorensa has not yet come to conduct the rehearsal, so Qi Mu, the chief, temporarily took over his duties, helping each instrument group practice, adjust the tone, and maintain the order of the audience.
Under the bright and warm sunshine of Vienna, the members of Wei Ai started a whole day of rehearsal, and in Berlin, thousands of miles away, it was the dark clouds at this moment, and the dense clouds drifted over from the eastern sky. , Seems to herald a thunderstorm in late summer.
When Daniel delivered the new issue of "Voice of Vienna" to the chief conductor's lounge, Min Chen was holding coffee in one hand while looking down at the score for the next tour season. The long score on a3 paper is almost blank, without any handwriting. At most, it is marked with light and accent symbols in very few places, which can be regarded as a small reminder.
"In the magazine of the Propaganda Department today, I guess you must like this issue of "Voice of Vienna" the most. Would you like to read it?"
Min Chen gently put the coffee on the table and looked up at Daniel, only to see that the latter had a smirk, and he raised the thick magazine in his hand like a trembling. Min Chen narrowed his eyes and instantly saw the young man on the cover. His deep pupils suddenly widened. He directly reached out and took the magazine and began to look through it.
Daniel also leaned over and said with a smile: "It's not easy to be the cover character of the "Voice of Vienna", haha, little angel. By the way, this is still a semi-annual publication! It's amazing! Don't talk about a semi-annual publication. Yes, I remember the last time the cover was on the cover... the conductor of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, right?"
Min Chen gave a soft "um", and ignored the noise of his agent.
But Daniel didn't care and continued, "Hey, this photo of Little Angel was really good. I remember the first time I saw Little Angel... Oh, it's been two years, right? He seemed to wear it that day. I got a red coat, tut, it's really good... uh..."
The handsome and elegant man raised his phoenix eyes and looked coldly at the blond agent who had begun to fantasize. He looked indifferent and without any emotional ups and downs, but he didn't know why, but Daniel read a word from that expression——
"One more word, try. 』
Daniel: "..."
After Min Chen bowed his head again and carefully read the report, Daniel narrowed his mouth and muttered softly, "Isn't it just to praise the little angel for her good-looking...really, how long has it been since the little angel wears red clothes? The red matches him better. The little angels are all dressed, and they are not allowed to be seen by others..."
Min Chen: "...Daniel."
The blonde agent looked up: "Huh?"
"Need me to tell you where the door is?"
Daniel: "....................."
"In Huaxia's words, Min, you... this is the bridge, so you will demolish it!!!"
The blonde agent left the command lounge angrily, and what he didn't know was that just after he left, the handsome man's straight eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he looked deeply at the last few lines of the article for a long time. No words.
When Qi Mu was planning to fly to Berlin this weekend, Min Chen directly called and told him that he would be in Vienna next week, probably staying for a week.
In surprise, Qi Mu learned that the Huaxia Philharmonic Orchestra had invited Min Chen the day before yesterday to lead the orchestra in Vienna as the conductor of Hua Ai.
Chinese classical music has made significant progress over the years, especially in the past two years, it has gradually set off a wave of classical music. As the economy develops well, people begin to have spare energy to care about the enjoyment of the spiritual world, and at this time, beautiful and moving music has become a good choice.
More and more children are beginning to learn piano and violin, and even the relatively unpopular horns, clarinets, and British pipes have many children starting to learn. These children are China's hope for classical music in the future, and they are also the seedlings for the real spread of classical music in China.
In response to the increasingly strong classical music atmosphere in China, Hua Ai will come to the Golden | Hall for a performance this year. National Channel 1 will broadcast the concert nationwide, hoping to promote this fine music atmosphere to be better promoted and spread.
Since we want to set a good example for the immature children, it is natural to invite some people who can become idols. There are not many conditions. First, they must be Chinese, and second, they must be famous figures in the classical music world.
Therefore, Min Chen became the first person to be invited. And when he learned of the intention of this concert, even if Bai Ai's recent affairs were quite heavy, Min Chen did not hesitate to agree to this invitation, planning to lead Hua Ai to perform a performance.
To cooperate with a completely unfamiliar orchestra, or even a concert of up to 3 hours, for the average conductor, it may take half a month or even longer. But if the subject is Min Chen, whether it is his superb commanding methods or his grasp of the sounds of various instrument groups, he can guarantee that this time can be compressed within a week.
All in all, Min Chen will come to the Friends of Music Association building next week to rehearse with Hua Ai.
Hearing this, Qi Mu was happy, and suddenly thought: "Hey, if Hua Ai invited you, it doesn't seem to invite me..."
The man's deep magnetic voice sounded: "Maybe, I will invite you in a while?"
The two of them joked for a while, and then hung up. Just when Qi Mu was about to end the afternoon tea and get up to go to the rehearsal hall, his mobile phone suddenly buzzed and vibrated. Qi Mu picked up the phone and took a look, a number starting with "86" instantly came into view.
Wei Wei was startled for a while, Qi Mu picked up the phone, just said "Hello" in Chinese, and heard the phone start like this: "Hello, is it Mr. Qi Muqi? I am China Philharmonic Zhu Liyang, the orchestra's manager..."
Qi Mu: "..."
Really, for a while...
