Chapter 1252: Wang Qiming Concert Hall
Teacher Wang, Teacher Wang, we are mainly going to study in the United States this time, so it is better for everyone to keep a low profile. "Hearing this, the leader of the national orchestra is a little guilty. We are going to the United States this time. The United States is so awesome. It seems a bit inappropriate for you to be so aggressive, right?
"If I were to go to the symphony orchestra I used to work for, I would definitely not say that. The New York Philharmonic is indeed better than us; but this time I am here to find you. The whole world plays pipa, erhu, and flute. Is there anyone who is more powerful than those here? What can we learn by going to the United States?" Shen Long was a little unhappy to hear him say that.
In fact, if you want to talk about learning, it’s not that there are things worth learning, such as the decoration and layout of Carnegie Hall, the operation method of American orchestras, etc. These are all worth learning, but what does this have to do with me and Master Fang? relation? If you want to learn, you should learn. Master Fang and I are only responsible for shocking Americans, letting them know that Chinese music is also very good.
This remark stunned the leader. It's not that Shen Long has any opinion on him personally, it's just that he simply can't get used to the current atmosphere of thinking that everything is good in foreign countries.
"To be honest, I have been able to make a name for myself in the United States all these years because of traditional Chinese music. Our ancestors have left us such good things. We should be proud. At present, the influence of traditional Chinese music is far less than that of Western classical music. , the most important thing is that our economy is not as good as others." Shen Long sighed.
"If we become economical in the future and need to spread culture abroad, then there will not be many people practicing traditional musical instruments; I insist on coming back this time and invite you to New York just to let young people in China take a look. The precious heritage left by our ancestors is really a good thing, and it is indeed worth learning." Shen Long said solemnly.
When Shen Long crossed over, China had already begun to export culture. Not only Douyin and the Internet were popular abroad, but Chinese Hanfu and traditional music were also loved by many people abroad. Many people played traditional Chinese music on some video sites. The videos of musical instruments all received considerable clicks and likes.
When the new generation of international students go abroad, they will also bring the musical instruments they practiced since they were young, invite three or five friends to form a folk band in school, or go to places with the most crowded local people, put on Hanfu, play Playing Guzheng and Pipa, let foreigners feel the charm of traditional Chinese music.
Official organizations are also doing similar activities, constantly sending official representatives to spread folk music abroad. A high school classmate of Shen Long, who is learning Guzheng, went to France for a tour. Even the Golden Hall of Vienna has appeared many times. Chinese folk music performers .
As soon as Shen Long said these words, Fang Jinlong and Chen Jun's eye circles turned red, and even the leader just sighed softly. Why don't they love traditional Chinese music? But now all the orchestras are having a hard time, and young people tend to want to learn more about Western music. If this continues, the prospects may not be optimistic.
"Mr. Wang, what you said has touched our hearts. I have learned the pipa for so long, but I don't want to let the things left by my ancestors be lost! This time I go to the United States, I will definitely perform well!" Fang Jinlong said, other The musicians also responded.
"Mr. Wang, I said something wrong just now, don't blame me..." The leader immediately apologized to Shen Long.
"It's not your fault. In fact, this time I'm going to the United States. I plan to bring them not only. I also want to invite several leaders to go with me. In fact, what I said just now is wrong. The United States is not without places worthy of our study. At least the decoration and equipment of the concert hall, publicity organization and other aspects are worthy of our study. In this regard, you will have to work hard for the leaders.
Seeing his sincerity, Shen Long was also relieved.
"This relationship is good, we must study hard!" Going abroad is a very rare opportunity nowadays, and usually only those big units have the opportunity. I didn't expect such a good thing to happen to me. The leader immediately dismissed Shen Long's just now. Put the blame to the back of your head, if you can go abroad after being scolded, please scold me a few more times!
"There is one more thing, I need to discuss with the leaders!" Shen Long began to prepare for his return to China in the future, "I came to visit our place today, and found that it is still the same as when I came here a few years ago, no, compared to my It was quite dilapidated last time, so how can such a venue meet the needs of performances?"
"It just so happens that I should be able to make some money from this concert. I want to donate the money and use some of my savings to repair the performance venue of our national orchestra; the specific plan will be announced after the leaders go to the United States to study. Sure, or I can ask someone from Toei Co., Ltd. to help find a designer to redesign it. If it doesn’t need to be repaired, I might just dismantle it and rebuild it. Do you think it’s suitable?” Folk music and Western classical music have different requirements for venues , so it may be better to find a Japanese designer.
The leader was immediately knocked out by the pie falling from the sky, what? Not only send us abroad, but also send us a new venue? This favor has become a big deal.
"Mr. Wang, you have helped our folk orchestra a lot!" The leader hurriedly held Shen Long's hand with both hands, "I will report to the superior immediately, if they disagree, I will stay in the office and not leave! "
"Then I'll leave this to you." As long as this can be done, people in the domestic traditional music circle will have to think of themselves in the future. When I return to China, I want to do something. How dare they not support it?
After finishing the matter here, Shen Long went to the symphony orchestra he used to work for, and also donated a venue to them. After all, this is the place where he worked, so he can't give it to outsiders and not to his own people, right? Moreover, it is important to promote traditional Chinese music. Do we also need to learn Western music? It is inclusive and inclusive that we have achieved the glory of China, and it is not appropriate to be too stingy.
Since you want to donate money, you should be more generous. After running through these two units, Shen Long went to the conservatory where he was studying, and took out a sum of money to help them purchase equipment, decorate rehearsal rooms, set up scholarships, etc.
The leaders of several units went to the relevant departments to report together. The person in charge of the relevant departments was both happy and a little apprehensive. Such a good thing must be supported, but if this is the case, the favor owed is too great, right? How to repay it?
He raised the question, and the leaders of several units were also a little embarrassed. A group of people discussed for a long time, and finally the leader of the Chinese Orchestra came up with a good solution, "Why don't we name the newly built concert hall Wang Qiming Concert Hall?" ?”
