Yang Jingxing didn't have much time, and he was in such a hurry that he couldn't treat his colleagues at Juilliard as comprehensively as he did at Puyin. Director Yang even seemed a bit utilitarian, and he would be patient and respectful to the old man who controlled the American Musicological Society for a while.

As for the senior director of the Jazz Research Institute, it was just a simple courtesy. In Puyin, even if Director Yang had ten times the courage, he would not dare to act like an equal, neither humble nor overbearing, to the head of any department.

Of course, the people at Juilliard didn't understand Director Yang's usual virtues, so they didn't have the same understanding with him, and even gave him face. Not only did the professors and masters give face, but not all of Juilliard's genius prodigy students were as aloof as the legends say.

Indifferent, after all, there are still some young people who like to join in the fun and watch strange things, and even superstitiously believe in authority and legends. The cultural differences between China and the West are indeed quite big. Pu Yin's juniors and juniors could not perform in any way when facing Yang Jingxing.

That rich surface emotion of joy and excitement mixed with nervousness and even shyness.

After leaving Julia, Yang Jingxing became quiet again. He walked alone along the road toward the lower city. After a while, he got into a taxi and told the driver to go to China Town.

The taxi driver, who is obviously Bangladeshi, is very enthusiastic. Although most of his knowledge about China is inaccurate, at least he mentioned the Olympics to the point. However, the Olympics is not the focus. What the driver wants to praise is that the Chinese people are very generous in tipping. He

The Chinese people I visited were all so rich, generous and simply kind.

From the lower part of the city, Manhattan doesn't seem to be that expensive. Yang Jingxing got off the car and walked in Chinatown. The scene that caught his eye was simply nostalgic, but it didn't have a deep sense of intimacy. Maybe it was because of the composer's windbreaker.

The suit you are wearing does not match the surrounding environment, or the temperature is too low.

Kong Chenhe is not bragging. There are quite a lot of simplified Chinese characters on the street. Sichuan restaurants are not uncommon. Even the decoration style of the storefront seems to follow the domestic trend. It is really an information society in the global village. On the other side of Puhai, spicy food has not been popular for a long time.

Xiangguo is also advertised here, but I don’t know where the restaurant, which claims to be the most authentic Sichuan-flavored grilled fish in the United States, is hidden.

Of course, successful musicians and activists would definitely not hold a party in such a run-down old Chinatown, so Yang Jingxing could only have a brief visit. After walking out, he walked west while making good night calls to the country.

After finishing the call three blocks later, the surrounding environment became quite different.

It is said that the famous Chinese restaurant is a shop on the street, but it may be due to cultural differences. The old and simple dark green front looks simply shabby. The sign in front of the restaurant actually shouts loudly, "2010 North American Chinese Cultural Association"

, but the font and layout look a bit awkward.

Yang Jingxing pushed the door open and entered the room, with the crisp jingle of bells. The room was filled with ample heating and the unique liveliness of the native language came to his face. If it weren't for the red-haired Asian waitress whose appearance had changed, she smiled like an African.

The mouth is big and full of artificial teeth are exposed, but he can't even say hello. This place feels a bit intimate.

After taking the guest's coat, the waiter expressed his feelings: "It's such a cold day."

Yang Jingxing didn't have the habit of discussing the weather, and he didn't need to lead the way. He walked in and saw a fairly spacious dining room and a room full of people. At first glance, it seemed that most of them were older Chinese, so there must be some

They looked like they were on the 50th or 60th, sitting, standing, gathering, and dispersed.

Sure enough, it was a sorority. Le Xian and Teacher You who were near the door were already chatting happily, but they were not completely obsessed. Le Xian soon noticed Yang Jingxing's appearance and went over to greet him without inviting anyone.

People chatting.

Yang Jingxing moved faster and started to smile again: "Is Italy so nurturing?"

Lexian's handshake was solemn, but his expression was still affectionate: "I'm a little slack. Come on, Mr. Tang has been waiting for you for two days!"

In addition to Yuexian and the people from Puhai, there were other people in the room who knew Yang Jingxing, including the Chinese violinist of the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra whom he had only met once, and two musicians he met during Puyin's 80th anniversary.

The international students working hard at Juilliard... these people also discovered Yang Jingxing's arrival, but now Yang Jingxing's goal was very clear, to go directly to please the most senior.

Tang Qing is really old and strong, unlike someone who just had a bypass surgery two months ago. He greeted him loudly from afar: "Brother Yang!" and greeted him with a warm hug.

In full view of the public, the young and old started complimenting each other, and then Tang Qing introduced to Yang Jingxing who was the director of the American Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Next to him, Wen Fujiang had a look of worry on his face, and before Yang Jingxing got to know the big boss, he

Reminder: "Counsellor Yang, Counselor Li here..."

Yang Jingxing was really too late, Mao Tianchi was still smiling, but in his opinion, his status in the Chinese music industry was not necessarily lower than that of Tang Qing...

It was said to be a cultural gathering, but it was actually a private party. The co-organizers were two enthusiastic bosses of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and a famous Chinese horn player. Most of the people attending the party were Chinese and overseas Chinese, and a few white faces also adapted to the occasion.

Even though it was a private party, the counselors and consuls from the Cultural Counselor's Office of the Consulate General in New York also attended the party in their private capacity, but to the Chinese, a public servant is always a public servant

, and Wen Fujiang had already found out that the young Counselor Li had some connections. His family had some connections with Pu Hai. The most important thing was that the consulate paid considerable attention to the Chinese orchestra's visit to the United States this time.

.

Compared with the congratulations, encouragement and envy of the composer from the consulate or colleagues, Yang Jingxing was more willing to collect some fresh conversation materials. He was not idle at all for the past two or three hours and gained a lot. He had a lot to talk to his girlfriend in the evening. For example, two

The bosses generously donated money for the event. The Chinese and overseas Chinese praised this good deed. The bosses also have aristocratic bearings, or they have maintained the fine traditions of the previous dynasty because they have not experienced the transformation of New China. It is really barbaric.

The seniors of the Chinese orchestra were all surprised by the special style.

At the party, there was also a small business owner selling small commodities in Flushing. He chatted a little more with Yang Jingxing, not because he knew music, but because he knew that Yang Jingxing was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the small business owner often went to Yiwu. The small business owner also had ambitions.

He is ready to give up retail and engage in import and export trade. He firmly believes that Yiwu products are invincible in the world!

Of course, cultural gatherings must include writers. Yang Jingxing received four autographed books. One of them was a writer. No one in his family had set foot on mainland China since his father's generation. Not only did he write a story that happened in a special era in his novel,

He also talked with Yang Jingxing about the serious problem of wealth differentiation with great concern, and encouraged composers from the wealthy class to do something for more hungry people in China.

The cousin of the erhu leader of the Chinese National Orchestra has settled in Los Angeles for more than ten years. Due to work, he returns to his motherland once or twice a year. His experience as a businessman is very different from the author's guess. He even plans to let his children develop in China in the future.

As a young person, Yang Jingxing provides some reference advice.

Yang Jingxing didn't miss him. The kind-faced old man was indeed a Hong Kong actor. He had immigrated to the United States for more than ten years and became an amateur painter. Although the actor is not well-known, he has played the most influential villain in classic comedy films. He Peiyuan will definitely be surprised to hear this.

Yes. The former actor has really aged a lot, but art seems to really change a person's temperament.

No wonder the Caucasian man was looking down on him enthusiastically. He turned out to be a real estate agent who was relatively proficient in Mandarin. But Yang Jingxing's appearance seemed to have some effect. He almost got entangled by the real estate agent, but the reporter helped to rescue him.

The female reporter in her thirties came to the sorority as an individual, and she could be regarded as someone who has been struggling in literary and artistic exhibitions for many years. Although she used to report more on some official Chinese and Western cultural exchanges, she was not just a reporter.

The purpose of finding a chance to have a good chat with Yang Jingxing today is not to persuade the composer who set a new record to accept an interview. Yang Jingxing sincerely explained to reporters that his small achievements in the field of serious music are far from enough to become an advanced representative.

In serious music, in fact, in many fields such as painting and literature, there are already many Chinese people who have become famous all over the world many years ago.

The reporter had met many of the people the composer was talking about face to face, but she still believed that this incident was more newsworthy. Yang Jingxing asked why? The reporter could give many reasons, including that the composer was young and had a older person.

An identity accepted by the public 402.

People become bolder abroad. Yang Jingxing asked: "Maybe it's because it's less political and more real. Is there any reason for this?"

The reporter who was used to the main theme nodded frankly, and then seemed to understand what Yang Jingxing meant. Did he not want to be linked to politics?

Yang Jingxing felt that reporters should not add other colors to their reports, as this would create a sense of unreality and distance themselves from the audience. Yang Jingxing quite confidently guessed that compared to the glory of appearing in "Xinwen Lianbo", the seniors of the Chinese Orchestra

We should be more willing to spend more time to promote art in a more plain and direct way in programs that are not watched by many people, because no one will become interested in folk music because of half a minute of news, and even one minute is enough.

The reporter seemed to be encouraged by the composer, and also wanted to promote art, so he decided to plan it carefully and wait for the next time the Chinese orchestra cooperates with New Zealand to do an artistic special report.

Yang Jingxing immediately invited reporters to report the application to Team Leader Wen. After hearing this, Wen Fujiang gave face and said that the team would cooperate well. Not only did the team cooperate, but even the boss of the import and export business in Los Angeles also patted his chest to ensure that he had

If you have connections and resources, then whoever comes to the United States to make a movie will have to help himself...

The sorority was really diverse, full of subtleties and quite a bit explicit, and it felt like a clash of cultures. A so-called cello player who was nearly fifty years old went around introducing his young white girlfriend who was more in line with Eastern aesthetics, and shared it with Yang Jingxing.

She plans to give birth to a mixed-race baby. Some colleagues who are familiar with the violin player also revealed to Yang Jingxing that the woman is from Georgia and has not yet received a green card, so some people directly admire the violin player for being a talented person and bold.

It is said to be a Chinese restaurant, but there are no chopsticks for serving Chinese, and there is no big round table. The dishes do not surprise the musicians of the Chinese orchestra who are already homesick. In fact, we can see the commonality between all walks of life from all over the world.

We don’t speak many words, but we still acknowledge our “roots”. Blood is thicker than water, so each other’s smiles will not fade away.

In fact, it's not time to say goodbye yet, but people who are drunk and well-fed seem to be more emotional easily. The lead singer of Pipa, a Chinese orchestra, hugged the first generation whom he met just last night, and with tears in his eyes, told him in a hoarse voice that he must go home.

Look, they are all relatives.

After receiving so much encouragement and congratulations from their compatriots, the musicians can rest and prepare for the next three or four hours. According to current statistics, no less than 80 compatriots will go to the concert hall tonight to support them, accounting for 10% of the audience.

10. This is not only about face, but also pressure. The compatriots on the stage cannot let the relatives in the audience lose their face.

Yang Jingxing didn't have to prepare anything and was under no pressure. He went to meet Jeromil with the world-famous composer Tang Qing from Taiwan and the music director and chief conductor of the Turin Symphony Orchestra, Le Xian. The private meeting was also scheduled long ago and was arranged to stay at Yang Jingxing's house.

of hotels.

Tang Qing arrived in New York the day before yesterday. He has friends from all over the world and lives in the home of an old friend for many years. The owner is a truly famous writer who doesn't bother to attend such a noisy gathering today. Le Xian lives in his own home these days.

, because Yu Xinting and Kong Chenhe were in Japan and would not return to New York until next week. In addition to being happy for Yu Xinting to find her own value, Lexian was even more envious of the girlish hearts of the two, and found many kawaii gadgets in the house.

And I wonder if it would be more convenient for Yu Xinting to live in Japan, so that she can be closer to her country.

Tang Qing was neither impressed nor concerned about Yu Xinting. He was more concerned about 306, especially Qi Qingnuo. In order to show his dissatisfaction with the old age, Tang Qing strongly praised "The Golden Age" as being really enjoyable, and felt that the work should be

It's Qi Qingnuo's handwriting. That kind of bright rebellion and sonorous tenderness are really not Yang Jingxing's style.

So what is Yang Jingxing's approach? Lexian would like to hear Tang Qing's views on the "Second Symphony".

Tang Qing became serious: "A man's inner world can only be understood."

Yang Jingxing laughed, and Le Xian also laughed: "Then can I understand some of it?"

Tang Qing's mind was still flexible: "Have Miss Tang heard of "Every Drop Makes a River"?"

Yuexian has not had the opportunity to listen to professional playing, but Yeromil has appreciated it. Before rehearsing the "Second Symphony", he listened to a New Zealand flutist playing it in order to feel the composer's folk music ideas. It is said that the playing was amazing.
Chapter completed!
