"Oh! Li, you actually remembered to call me."
A surprised voice came from the phone.
Henrik, who was far away in Italy, was very surprised.
"I was talking to Yatu about you some time ago."
"Going to China for exchange? Is it a private invitation, or..."
"Hey, they're all the same."
Li Jinglin laughed.
"I have accepted two apprentices, you come and show me too?"
"apprentice?"
Henrik was stunned for a moment.
"Oh, the Demon King has accepted a disciple. If this spreads, it will definitely cause quite a shock."
"Are you coming or not?"
"Come on, you invited me, can you not come?"
Henrik smiled heartily.
"Do you need me to call Yatu over, too?"
"Okay."
Li Jinglin raised his eyebrows, but naturally did not refuse.
"Actually, it's not just about looking at my apprentice. I'm currently helping our university to establish a doctoral program. It is estimated that the enrollment will be officially launched next year. Isn't this an advance plan, so I invited you."
Although this is vernacular, from a normal perspective
It seems a bit disrespectful.
But in fact, Henryk would be unhappy if it really took a roundabout way.
As a very well-known top performer in the world, Henrik was already a household name in the European and American violin circles before Li Jinglin was born.
In fact.
At that time, the gold medal in a certain Paganini Violin Competition was won by Henrik, who was twenty-two years old at the time.
The level of genius is not inferior to that of Li Jinglin.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in China."
"No problem, I'll make arrangements right away."
Henrik was very cheerful.
"Maggie really wants to come to China and try that thing you were talking about. Beat up the fried fish of the Ying country guy?"
"Yeah, that's it."
He smelled what Henrik said.
Li Jinglin was stunned for a moment.
After thinking about it for a while, he immediately made up his mind.
"I'll notify our music association. When the time comes, the invitation will be made through formal communication."
"Huh? Will this be a bit troublesome?"
Henrik was stunned.
Actually.
The relationship between the two is very good.
Although it was said to be communication, Henryk actually knew that getting together was nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun.
However, this fun is related to music and the violin.
If the invitation was really sent out in a formal name, Henrik always felt that it was a bit of a fuss.
"No trouble, no trouble at all. Please be sure to take the communication channel."
Li Jinglin chuckled.
"If you invite me like this, I can also enjoy a reception. The chef at the reception is very good. You will definitely be in luck."
"hiss."
Henrik's eyes lit up.
"Then I won't be polite."
As a true Frenchman, Henrik believes that he has three hobbies in his life.
gourmet food.
Fine wine.
A native of Heiying.
As for the violin?
That's not called a hobby, just like Maggie, that's called the love of this life.
After the two communicated for a while.
After making another call to Yatu to confirm.
Li Jinglin decided to report the matter directly to the Music Association, and in the name of the Chinese Music Association and the Chinese Violin Society, he directly invited Henryk and Yatu across the country.
"What? Li Jinglin invited Henrik to come to China for exchanges?"
After the president of the Violin Society heard about this, he suddenly couldn't hold himself tight.
Shanghai is launching China's first doctoral program in violin majors, which is a major event for the entire industry.
In fact, the Institute also plans to invite some outsiders.
At this juncture, Li Jinglin took care of Henrik, which was a huge surprise.
It's like when LOL started a black team, our teammate who was number one in the national server led the team, and also brought his friends who were also in the national server.
Can't this horse take off? !
Once the application is submitted, it will be approved very quickly.
Henrik is the pride of the French music industry and a benchmark. His long-lasting performance career of nearly 40 years has long integrated him with French culture.
At this current juncture.
What if Henrik came to China and had an exchange visit with Shangyin in the field of violin performance?
In the field of violin, a doctorate degree in alto violin can really make you popular in the circle.
And what about Yatu?
As Henrik's good friend, Yato, who is also almost 60 years old this year, is a French saxophonist.
His status and achievements are not inferior to those of Henryk.
The repertoire played spanned classical and jazz.
Based on emotion and reason.
Such an invitation is very beneficial.
Naturally, the association will not refuse.
"I'll apply for the reception. You guys can study it and see if you can take advantage of this opportunity to come up with some joint cooperation activities or teaching and competition plans!"
After throwing down this sentence.
The president of the society began to personally handle matters related to the reception.
This matter attracted a lot of attention.
In the thinking of Chinese people, many things are never just appearances.
A little initial reason can often leverage greater leverage.
On the surface, this is a meeting between Li Jinglin and his friend Henrik.
But what if it extends to musical communication?
It can definitely help the establishment of doctoral programs. Through Henrique, we can establish some cooperative teaching and research relationships with some universities in France.
And what if music exchange rises to cultural exchange?
Various activities, performances, and competitions, can we also take this opportunity to create a wave of joint cooperation in literature, art, and culture?
As for cultural exchanges, can they play other greater roles?
Then it has nothing to do with the following. Anyway, the bosses have their own arrangements.
so.
In the long term.
This reception is indeed very crucial.
then.
The president made a direct call to Li Jinglin.
Invite Li Jinglin to talk about the details of the reception in detail.
Li Jinglin naturally takes care of everything.
"Time is a bit tight, but it's not a big problem."
The president will take care of transportation, accommodation, food and other aspects.
Arrangements are made to the highest hospitality specifications within authority.
Even the chefs were invited by old and powerful men who had retired from the state banquet.
Yes, the bald man.
At a state banquet-level dinner, the chef not only needs personal review and strict cooking skills requirements, but also must completely shave his head to prevent hair from getting into the food.
Although the chef who was invited no longer works at the state banquet, his hair is still bald.
That is to say
The standard of the reception is certainly not comparable to that of a state banquet, but at least the taste of the ingredients is not far behind.
At least it will definitely kill Hanguo and Xiaozhi’s state banquet, and it has to be really explosive.
"Oh! It's great that Henrik can come."
The president couldn't help but sigh.
"It has to be Li Jinglin, his connections are really great."
Same as the president.
After learning that Li Jinglin had brought Henrik here.
Professor Zhang Yi didn't hold back at that time.
Without considering Li Jinglin.
That Henrik is really a benchmark in the industry.
And even consider Li Jinglin.
Although Henrik cannot be said to be the best violinist now, he is definitely a highly respected master.
He is almost sixty this year, but his acting career spans more than forty years.
Talk about a living legend.
Not an exaggeration.
Li Jinglin may be better than Henryk in terms of height of achievement and strength.
But in terms of breadth, quantity, experience, and qualifications, Henrik is truly a senior.
Such a master comes to communicate at this time.
It will definitely attract the attention of a lot of art journalists and the industry.
This is the best opportunity for the baritone violin major to showcase to the outside world.
then.
The entire Shangyin also started to move.
"Those violinists have been really happy lately. Even if they are so busy, they still have to come to my place to show off."
The piano professors next door began to feel "unhappy".
Seeing the violin professors playing tricks on their faces, a very obscure Versailles pops up from time to time.
Very uncomfortable.
"Tsk, tsk, this is another master class. Li Jinglin's resources really have nothing to say."
"The violin major has really taken off this time."
"I don't think we should be envious. I heard that Li Jinglin has a very good relationship with Lang Lang. Maybe we can do the same."
"Huh? It's true. I will talk to Professor Li later and bring out the fine wine I have collected for twenty years. I don't believe that I can't win against him!"
"Haha, what if you don't drink? I see that Professor Li likes to drink Coke very much. You can see him drinking Coke every time we eat in the cafeteria. How about you collect all the Coke for twenty years?"
Of course.
Although I was very envious, I complained a few words about "unpleasantness".
However, there was no malicious intent, it was just a joke between acquaintances after work.
However, this scene is basically invisible to students.
Li Jinglin’s phone call.
The impact is definitely not small.
On the other side of the world.
Henrik is also looking forward to it.
As soon as I got home, I told my wife about it.
"Oh, Maggie, guess who I got a call from today?"
Henrik happily took out a bottle of wine from the kitchen and took a sip directly.
The French still care about wine.
Some French psychology experts even believed that if you don’t drink at a party, you will have a mental disorder when riding a horse. This person has a problem and is not normal.
"It's Li! Li Jinglin!"
Henryk felt that the aroma of the wine in his mouth suddenly increased a bit.
"He invited me to China for exchanges, so that I can take you to China to eat some novel food and drink some novel wine."
"Really? That would be awesome."
Maggie smiled softly.
Although I am already sixty this year.
However, this gentle temperament and elegant manners can still make people see that young Maggie must be a typical French beauty.
"Li also taught us a few Chinese words back then. How about practicing in the next few days?"
"good idea."
At that moment, the two of them opened a small notebook.
Wear reading glasses.
Started researching.
First of all, I don’t necessarily want to learn fluent Chinese in these few days. Secondly, it’s just a spur of the moment idea.
Therefore, I didn’t find any Chinese teachers.
I simply took out my old notes and recalled some simple vocabulary I learned and recorded from Li Jinglin.
"This is great, what can I say?"
"Niu Niu B."
"It seems that Ba. Ba Shi can be used instead?"
"Oh, amazing Chinese grammar."
"Dei Jin'er? De Jin'er! Yes, this is also a synonym for Bashi."
"Hey, Henrik, this is easy to remember. It's only one syllable."
"Let me see if it hits? Hit!"
Their faces were close together.
Start studying this magical pronunciation.
After studying for a while, Henrik took off his glasses and took another sip of wine.
Immediately he sighed.
"Oh, Chinese is so difficult. There are so many ways to express it."
time flies.
Only about five days have passed.
Henrik got on the plane to China.
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport goes directly to Pudong.
When the plane arrived, Li Jinglin had already brought people to greet him at the airport.
Due to time constraints, Yatu will arrive tomorrow.
The only guests received today were Henrik and his wife.
Take the private VIP channel.
Attach great importance to etiquette.
"Henryk, long time no see."
Li Jinglin stepped forward and hugged Henrik.
Immediately he turned around and shook hands with Maggie.
"Ms. Maggie, long time no see."
"Haha, Li, you are getting more and more handsome."
Hear Maggie's praise.
Henrik curled his lips.
"Well, indeed, Li, you are almost as handsome as I was back then."
"Ha ha!"
Li Jinglin smiled.
Immediately turned around.
Taking Henrik with him, he walked slowly and chatted.
Walk, talk and introduce.
"This is the vice president of the Chinese Music Association. This is the president of the Chinese Violin Society. This is the vice president of our Shangyin Music Association."
Li Jinglin communicated with each other between Henryk and his family.
Fluent French and Chinese can be switched between each other very quickly without affecting mutual communication at all.
All of a sudden.
The translators brought by the Music Association were a little dumbfounded.
I can't get it in my mouth, I can't get it in my mouth at all!
MD, I’m unemployed?
"Oh! Vice President of the Music Association."
Henrik smiled heartily.
Suddenly a sentence popped out.
"Bullshit!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
As soon as these words came out.
The president of the Music Association and the translators around him were stuck on the ground.
Never imagined.
This foreign distinguished guest.
When he opens his mouth, he says a Chinese sentence that will shock the Chinese people.
"Haha! Of course it's awesome, it must be awesome!"
Li Jinglin's expression did not change at all.
Under the leadership of Li Jinglin.
The president of the Musical Association also had a warm smile, and the corners of his eyes twitched in agreement from time to time.
"Haha, yes, awesome"
However, my heart was already turned upside down.
Li Jinglin!
What have you taught foreigners about riding horses?
"Mr. Henrik has been working hard all the way."
The president of the Music Association gave a very serious and official welcome speech.
Li Jinglin translates in real time.
"This journey is quite tiring, isn't it?"
With a smile, and under the strange looks of the translators, Li Jinglin condensed a long list of welcome words into one sentence.
"Eat something first? Drink?"
"Eat? Drink?!"
Henrik's eyes suddenly lit up.
"middle!"
"?!"
The saxophone is the youngest of the classical instruments, a twentieth-century gadget.
This instrument is very hot, but it can be serious.
Although most of them are found in jazz, in fact, they are also found in classical music works.
However, in some current music school classifications, it does not belong to orchestral music, but to modern instruments, while orchestral music is generally classical instruments.
For example, Sichuan Music is Sichuan Music's modern musical instrument department, including percussion, saxophone, classical guitar, electric guitar, jazz piano and so on. (Classical guitars are used in the unified examination, and electric guitars are not allowed. As for folk guitars, they are for popular performances, playing and singing.)
ps, the psychological research of French psychologists on not drinking at parties is true, because it is a local cultural custom. After all, France has the largest number of people who die due to drinking every year in the EU.
