The current is surging, flowing slowly in the boundless night. Under such a deep night, the blue Danube is like a long dark jade belt, washing away the years that have been deposited for thousands of years.
In the dark night, Qi Mu did not deliberately put on his hat again, so he walked casually on the shore with the piano case, and said to the other end of the phone: "I just got out of the subway, you just called Here it is. By the way, the concert in London should be about to start, right?"
Bai Ai will perform a concert in London this evening, which is the penultimate performance of their tour.
The other end of the phone was very quiet, and Min Chen's deep magnetic voice mixed with the rustling of electricity rang out: "Well, I'm about to play, I'm in the lounge now." After a pause, he seemed to think for a while, and then said in a positive tone. : "The contract is renewed." The tone was calm and decisive, without hesitation.
Min Chen naturally knows that today is the day of the Uygur Philharmonic Orchestra members meeting, and he also knows what themes will appear at today's meeting. These Qi Mu had told him a long time ago, but Qi Mu did not expect, how could this man judge with such certainty that he had renewed his contract?
"Why are you so sure that I renewed my contract?" Under the dim yellow street lamp, the thin young man's shadow was stretched by the yellow street lamp and swayed on the red brick road. "Maybe I didn't renew the contract?"
There was a low laughter in the listening hole of the phone, and Min Chen's thin lips twitched slightly: "Your voice is very happy. So... you renewed your contract."
For such an answer, Qi Mu was helpless. He had to admit his fate and replied: "Well, then you and Chen Ge guessed it correctly. I have renewed the contract. But you have to guess, how long will the renewal take?"
Without a moment's hesitation, Min Chen said firmly: "One year."
The steps under her feet froze, Qi Mu opened her eyes wide in surprise, looking at the front of the road somewhat incredulously. On the sidewalks on both sides of this street, all passers-by came and went in a hurry, no one noticed Qi Mu's figure-after all, young people carrying violin are really everywhere in Vienna.
For a long time, Qi Mucai simply leaned against the lamppost on the side of the road, and asked with a chuckle: "Why guess it is a year?"
"intuition."
As soon as his eyes turned, Qi Mu asked: "Then use your intuition to help me think about when I will leave for Berlin? Since the contract has been renewed, I should just take care of all the things that the band has to be busy recently. Let's go to Berlin again."
Min Chen: "My instinct says you will leave tomorrow!"
With a chuckle, Qi Mu walked towards the apartment again: "Your intuition is very inaccurate this time. I will probably not be able to go to Berlin the day after tomorrow. I have to deal with the contract matters tomorrow. I have to talk to Chen. Brother discuss it."
When talking about this, Qi Mu sharply heard a knock on Min Chen's door, and then someone said loudly, "The concert is about to begin, please prepare." So he said to the other side of the phone: "Well, you are going to be on stage, then I will hang up first. I remember that the Berlin Music Station has a live broadcast of your concert. It should be too late for me to go home now."
After Min Chen gave a soft "um" and asked "be careful on the road", the two hung up the phone.
Bai Ai's concert was not conducted by Min Chen. This time, as a concert pianist, he played Chopin's "Piano Concerto No. 1 and No. 2" and Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony" together with Bai Ai. "Song" and Schumann's "Fantasy".
The sound transmission effect of the audio equipment is naturally much worse than that of the scene, but even so, Qi Mu sat on the sofa in his living room, applauding the orchestra and the great pianist from the heart. Even after he saw a man suddenly looking directly at the camera and showing a smile on his lips, Qi Mu was taken aback, and then he came back to his senses.
... This guy is really, suddenly smiled at the camera, this is a foul!
Even Qi Mu felt that this kind of random spreading of hormones was an obvious foul, and Min Chen's music fans were even more incredible. These excited music fans all sat in front of their TV tonight, just waiting to watch this Bai Ai tour, and they just saw half of it...
"Ahhhhh! Mr. Bertram just looked at me and smiled!"
"You think too much, OK! Mr. Bertram just looked at me and smiled!!!"
"...I said, isn't Mr. Bertram smiling at the camera?..."
A rigorous, solemn, always unsmiling man suddenly showed a smile, which for everyone can be regarded as a terrifying thing.
Especially for Min Chen's music fans, they have long been accustomed to the cold and indifferent look of their male god, who is conducting the more enthusiastic Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony", even if they conduct the "Ode to Joy" part, their male gods are Is he looking cold?
But today... Was it the mountain collapsed or the Mars hit the earth? Why suddenly he laughed! ! ! !
This is not scientific at all!
But...regardless of whether he is scientific or not, he just smiled at them anyway, haha!
As for Qi Mu, the real owner of this smile, none of these fans are so crazy. When the concert was over, he straightforwardly sent a text message and reprimanded: [Doing this kind of thing in the public, dare to ask Mr. Auston Bertram, what is your face? ]
Although it was an accusation, Min Chen's eyebrows were raised by the unconcealed ridicule in his tone. He has always been better at flirting love words than his young people, isn't it just a little cheeky, Min Chen quickly replied: [My face, my person, my heart, they have always been with you. ]
Qi Mu who saw this text message: "!!!"
Shut down and sleep!
Compared to this guy, Qi Mu felt that he really thought too much! ! !
...
The next day, Wei Ai's shrewd and capable agent Mr. Tuckerman drafted a contract and handed it to Qi Mu. This time, Qi Mu no longer reviewed the contract alone like last time. Chen Lingpin took over the task of checking the contract for him with full authority and studied it carefully.
To be an excellent broker, you must have some knowledge in the most basic aspects of psychology, business negotiations and contracts, and financial management. Obviously, Chen Lingpin is no longer so simple in these aspects, he is very proficient in these complex knowledge.
And unlike brokers in other industries, the eight years of experience at the S City Conservatory of Music has given Chen Lingpin's understanding of classical music to a higher level. Even for the complex internal relationships of the organizational structure, he also has some experience. You must know that in terms of setting up organizations, Chinese people are much smarter than Westerners. There should be several ministers and deputy ministers in the same department. What kind of functions should they have? Thick reference opinions come.
Therefore, when Mr. Tuckerman was waiting confidently for Chen Lingpin to finish reading the contract, he saw the gentleman's agent pushing the frame on the bridge of his nose and looking up at Tucker. Man, said seriously: "There is basically no problem with this contract, but there is one area where I hope to make some adjustments."
Mr. Tuckerman stunned: "Adjust?"
Chen Ling nodded: "Yes, I hope to make a small change in the time of'whether to renew'. The original contract reads'This contract expires on June 1, 2019, in 2019 Renewal review will be conducted on May 1, but I hope to advance the review time three months." After a pause, Chen Lingpin added: "Just before March 1, 2019, I hope Wei Ai will treat Qi Mu Whether to renew the contract can be reviewed."
As soon as Chen Lingpin's words fell, Mr. Tuckerman and Qi Mu understood them all at once. The previous review lead time was one month, but now it has become three months. This is actually a buffer for Qi Mu. Assuming that the contract will not be renewed once, Qi Mu can still prepare for the future in these three months.
For this suggestion, Mr. Tuckerman naturally has no doubts at all. He could still make this small matter on behalf of the orchestra, so after revising the treaty on the spot, Qi Mu signed his name on the contract.
The short signing time of one second determines that Qi Mu and Wei Ai will be bound for another year.
Several people quickly finalized the contract. Because Wei Ai had a complete vacation today, Qi Mu and Chen Lingpin talked with Mr. Tuckerman for a while before leaving the Wei Ai headquarters.
As soon as he stepped out of the door of the Friends of Music Association building, Qi Mu was ready to go back and pack his things, and rush to Berlin the next day-it is better to arrive before a certain man, so that it is not a missed appointment.
"Qi Mu, in the next year, we will spend the next year with Wei Ai." Chen Lingpin said as he walked: "There is something I think you have to prepare first. The probability of your contract renewal should be less than 50%. From now on, I will make some plans for your future development. You must also be psychologically prepared."
Listening to this, the smile on Qi Mu's lips gradually faded. Of course he also understands that what Chen Lingpin said is very likely to become a reality, so he just sighed in his heart, then nodded and said: "Okay Brother Chen, I will trouble you in the next year."
Chen Lingpin stretched out his hand and smiled slightly: "For a year, get along well!"
Qi Mu stretched out his hand and shook it with him: "Have a good time!"
In the afternoon, Qi Mu packed up some simple clothes, and then rushed to Vienna International Airport with a small suitcase. The silver-white plane took off from Vienna but landed steadily at Tegel Airport within an hour.
After taking away his luggage, Qi Mu quickly took out his mobile phone and checked the time. After confirming that it was still too late, he quickly pulled the suitcase and ran to another fairway building. Along the way, some people spotted Qi Mu, but they just yelled "Little Seven!" Qi Mu quickly ran away from their sight.
The crowd of onlookers: "......?????"
Ignoring the surprised gazes of others, when Qi Mu finally ran to the T1 channel building, he panted slightly while propping his knees, and craned his neck to look into the exit.
It seems that an airplane has just arrived, and many people have pulled their suitcases out. When a familiar figure appeared, Qi Mu suddenly stood up straight, and his eyes became more focused. Then, the second member of Bai Ai appeared, the third, the fourth...
Suddenly, when Qi Mu saw that elegant figure in the crowd, he
