At seven o'clock in the morning on Saturday, very punctually, a call from the UK came to Yang Jingxing's mobile phone. The person who spoke was obviously an older man: "I'm sorry, this is Bert Greene. I want to speak to Mr. Yang Jingxing." The British accent in the movie.

.

Yang Jingxing said: "Hello, Mr. Green, I am Yang Jingxing. I hope this time will not affect your rest."

Green said: "No, no... without this call, it would be difficult for me to rest, Mr. Yang Jingxing."

Yang Jingxing, who just learned conversational etiquette yesterday, said: "Mr. Green, I want to thank you and Mr. Anderson for your sincerity and what you have done. I have no intention of wasting your precious time, so I can tell you with certainty that I will not be

A famous pianist would not do anything that would cause things to go in this direction."

The other person waited for a while before saying, "Mr. Yang Jingxing, can I ask why?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Personal hobbies, I have many hobbies. I can't favor one of them. It would be unfair to other things. I have read your column. Once, you complained that your identity prevented you from being like an ordinary person.

If the audience simply listens to the music like that, I think you are serious."

Green was silent for a moment and admitted: "Yes, I said that, thank you for remembering those words... I think I know what you mean, more or less."

Yang Jingxing still explained: "I prefer listening to others than playing. I love people more than music. I prefer simple love to fame." His level is still limited and he doesn't know how to express the meaning of simplicity and plainness.

Even though he has been a music critic for decades, Green still has his own limitations: "Yes, Eastern culture."

Yang Jingxing said bluntly: "You are wrong. Eastern culture is tolerant and broad, but I am narrow-minded. I don't want to play for more people, and I don't need strangers to cheer for me. But if I can become your friend

, I would feel honored.”

Green was also polite: "It's also an honor for me! I think I can ask my friend another question. You are still a composer. I believe that many people you don't know have cheered for your works... What's the matter?

Is it different?"

Yang Jingxing said: "To a large extent, my works are composed for a certain person or a few people. I hope to communicate with them and they can be happy when playing...that's all."

Green lamented: "It's just what I thought...but I don't want to call it narrow-minded."

Yang Jingxing didn't care: "It doesn't matter what you call it. It's not special. Like everyone else, I try to do what I want to do..."

The phone call took a long time, but Green still expressed that he wanted to come to China to see what enabled Yang Jingxing to "skip a huge, gorgeous, alluring but dangerous intermediate link and reach the end directly" on the road to fame and fortune. You know.

Many people can't even reach this intermediate link. Of course, there are very few people who reach the end, but Green feels that he can only see the end from a distance.

At nine o'clock, before going shopping with his mother and aunt, Yang Jingxing called Li Yingzhen: "I tricked Green into coming here. He won't interview me anymore. He's here to give a lecture. Director Lu, please take the credit."

Li Yingzhen was speechless for a while: "What are you planning?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Who told you to be so low-key... Let's prepare for next year." In the spring semester next year, Li Yingzhen will retire.

Li Yingzhen was angry: "Don't mention next year, what are your plans for this year now!?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I will do whatever I have to do. Don't be angry. I will teach you a lesson in person when I go back next week..."

After letting his mother stay with him for two days, Yang Jingxing kept his promise and returned to Puhai on Sunday afternoon. He also made a fortune and brought money to buy four parking spaces. Xiao Shuxia said that Qi Qingnuo didn't use the parking spaces, and some people were using them.

On Monday morning, Yang Jingxing came to the school to report that there was a lot going on. The piano department was analyzing the "Sonata in Major Key". The objective things about the form and structure had been written down, almost in detail to every measure. It was Zhang Chujia and Professor Feng.

It was written together with a teaching assistant, and it is densely packed with more than ten pages.

Yang Jingxing looked at it and said that of course the senior sister's theory was not a problem. As for the emotional connotation of the music, Yang Jingxing felt that it was better not to worry about it.

The hard difficulty of the song is a big challenge for An Xin, but Yang Jingxing believes that she will have enough confidence.

The Composition Department has already started to publish the "Collection of Yang Jingxing's Piano Sonatas". It's actually quite simple. Puyin Publishing House has specialized personnel to sort out and typeset it. After it's done, Yang Jingxing will just review it.

The main thing that needs attention is the annotations. He Hongchui thought that for the sake of those piano boys, it would be better to be more detailed. Of course, Yang Jingxing had to do it himself. Especially for the major sonata, although everyone in the piano department praised it, the details

The conclusion is controversial.

He Hongchui said: "If you ask me to go to a meeting, how can I express my position? You do it yourself!"

The three sonatas are accompanied by an etude. The etude has no name because "Greedy Cat" is not serious, and Yang Jingxing was afraid of being scolded.

It seems that Yang Jingxing is really a famous composer, and He Hongchui actually wants to get a first printing of 3,000 copies. Three thousand copies, and Quanpuyin forced everyone to have one copy, which is only one third. But if it is put in a bookstore, please tell me

Who recognizes Yang Jingxing?

However, Yang Jingxing does not need to worry about these matters. Vice Principal He has already decided: "...Think about it first, who can you ask to help you write the preface? It is best to have more influential people, each of whom can give a brief comment in one or two sentences.

Put it on the back cover.”

Yang Jingxing had already thought about it: "Of course you can write it for me."

He Hong lowered his head and said, "Of course I can, but Mr. Ding, Tang Qing, Principal, Professor Li and Professor Gong, how can we make reasonable arrangements... This is your first time to publish music scores, so think carefully."

Yang Jingxing said: "If I think about it, it would be best to do nothing."

He Hongchui was worried: "It's not impossible... Let's discuss this matter later. You should go see Professor Gong first. I've asked him several times."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I'll go right away."

He Hongchui hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "Qi Qingnuo, I have nothing to do with your affairs. You two can handle it on your own."

Yang Jingxing relaxed: "No problem..."

Gong Xiaoling was finishing the first batch of homework in the office. When she looked up and saw Yang Jingxing knocking on the door, she said warmly and enthusiastically: "Jingxing is back, come in..."

Yang Jingxing felt refreshed: "Are you looking for me?"

Gong Xiaoling nodded: "Sit down...do you feel better?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Yeah."

Gong Xiaoling also laughed: "...Professor Li still knows you better than me. It seems that you are not allowed to disturb you. It seems to be the right thing."

Yang Jingxing clarified: "I don't have any symptoms, so I went to Quhang to see friends and play for a few days."

Gong Xiaoling looked at Yang Jingxing, but her expression was still gentle, and then encouraged: "It's better to take a rest... Look, few people have sorted out the freshman homework, only a dozen bars." Extracted from the interlude of Yang Jingxing's major sonata.

When I analyzed the harmony of the passages that came out, Gong Xiaoling was quite good at picking them out, and found a section that was quite complex in terms of chord usage and tonal layout.

Yang Jingxing also protested: "You want me to leave a good impression on my junior brothers and sisters."

Gong Xiaoling chuckled: "Junior brothers and sisters all regard you as a role model."

Yang Jingxing was embarrassed haha.

Gong Xiaoling said: "I met Qi Qingnuo last week and we had a chat. I felt relieved when she said it... When I heard you play your own piece that day, my heart ached so much that I couldn't speak."

Yang Jingxing was disrespectful: "You are exaggerating."

Gong Xiaoling reassured: "It's okay now. It will pass. If we can't be lovers, then we should be good friends and confidants... I know I shouldn't talk too much. Just think of me as old. What do you call me? Eight Po!"

Yang Jingxing still knew: "Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine. We are still friends with 306. You should encourage them more."

Gong Xiaoling nodded emotionally...

Yang Jingxing did not stay with Gong Xiaoling for long because he had to meet the principal. Pu Yin's level of self-confidence was still not enough, so the matter of Bert Green coming to give a lecture rose to the level of the principal. Lu Kaiping said that all this was due to the principal.

Without the principal, there would be no school anniversary tour. Without the tour, no one would know about Yang Jingxing and Yu Xinting.

What the principal wanted to discuss with Yang Jingxing was how to do this in the best interest of the school. Because the discussion was between two people behind closed doors, Yang Jingxing boldly expressed his opinion. He felt that it should not be too grand, nor too cold, but neither humble nor overbearing. Except

When listening to lectures, you should also show Puyin’s teaching level and achievements to guests. You can choose a few outstanding teachers and students to show them, but you can’t prepare too deliberately.

The key is to try to get this matter to the international media, such as gramophone or something, to expand the school's influence.

The principal basically agreed: "The two of us must cooperate and communicate well on this matter..."

But when it comes to selecting people, it is inevitable to have a headache. For example, the Puhai Spring Music Festival and the Puyin special performance are basically confirmed, but the problem is how to choose the works next. There are so many teachers and students, or else

Let's stick to the old method and vote by the school organizing committee.

Yang Jingxing has participated in a big event and thinks it is feasible. He is also a member of the organizing committee.

However, what the principal attaches most importance to is Mr. Ding's book. Tang Qing finally has some confirmed news. If everything goes well, the next step is to start sorting and revising all the manuscripts. It will be a heavy job, and Yang Jingxing will also have to participate, and it must be done wholeheartedly.

…

Yang Jingxing said there was absolutely no problem, Mr. Ding was also his teacher.

After bidding farewell to the principal, Yang Jingxing went back to see Lu Kaiping. Lu Kaiping didn't care that he was not involved in the decision-making of important matters. Compared with Bert Green, who was obviously unable to forcefully grasp the leader of the piano department, Lu Kaiping was more willing to be the master of this year.

Spend more time on classes and peaches.

The master class will continue to be scheduled during the National Day, when both piano students and parents are free, and then Tao Li Man Tian Xia will schedule it at the end of October to strike while the iron is hot.

Li Yingzhen will retire after the spring semester next year. Although re-employment is certain, the school must show that Yang Jingxing himself must perform better.

Furthermore, this year's budget is definitely stretched compared to last year's, less than half of it, so it is impossible to spend money on last year's campaign.

Moreover, Lu Kaiping was still in a dilemma: "I can't say for sure... Do you think you have enough influence now?"

Yang Jingxing laughed out loud, and then seeing Lu Kaiping's serious look, he replied: "It should be a little bit in the school, with you, Professor Li and Director He as the backstage."

Lu Kaiping was furious: "I'm talking about international influence!"

Because there were no predecessors or similar people to refer to, Director Lu of the Piano Department could only use his own intelligence to analyze it. He said that Yang Jingxing had no influence at all. Niuai had already seen her, and those in the master class had also seen her.

, Qin Mengli has also seen it, and now the British have also seen it. Although sometimes practitioners are unwilling to admit it, but now we can face reality. The circle of classical music is so big, and the circle of classical piano is even smaller. Although

There are not many contacts between peers...

But Lu Kaiping still felt: "Everyone has curiosity, even me. If I heard about you, Yang Jingxing, and the person who said this was very convincing, I would definitely want to confirm whether it is true...

If you, Yang Jingxing, heard someone say that there is someone who is more powerful than you, although it is unlikely, if so, would you like to go and see for yourself? At least listen to the recording? "
