Chapter 231 James' good intentions
"In the summer of 1852, Foster and his wife went to Bartston, Kentucky to visit his cousin. The beautiful scenery of the Fetrio Hills and the scenery in rural Kentucky touched his heart, which prompted him to write this popular, simple and sincere song "My Hometown of Kentucky."
Relying on his super memory retrieval ability, Du Xinghe told the creation background of this song to two people.
On the stage, four Chinese boys were singing lyrical music in mid-high notes, and combined with Du Xinghe's explanation, the artistic conception of this song was sublimated a lot.
Li Yang's eyes showed a very depressed look in his eyes. He wanted to refute Du Xinghe's sentences, but according to Du Xinghe's meaning, he knew this song very well!
"You know American music very well!" Lu Qin was very amazed. Compared with Li Yang, Du Xinghe is truly knowledgeable and knowledgeable!
"I don't know much, I just know a little bit." Du Xinghe continued to preach to the two as modest as ever: "The music that can be passed down for a hundred years naturally has its charm. The author of this song, Stephen Foster, is a very talented composer. When he was born, it was the golden age of European music. Beethoven, Schubert, Rossini, and Meyerbeer were all at the peak of their reputation at that time, Berlioz, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Lister and Verdidu
He is growing up into a great man. If Foster was born across the ocean, he might have entered a chorus school or a music school, and finally became a symphony composer, not a writer of some simple songs. But even so, he still became one of the greatest folk song composers in American history. His era was the era when the United States liberated black slaves through the Civil War. His sympathy for black Americans can be reflected in many of his songwriting."
The more Li Yang listened to Du Xinghe's explanation, the more depressed he became, and even had some unhappy thoughts. Didn't he just learn more Western music? As for how he performed in front of Lu Qin?
Seeing that Li Yang was very upset, Du Xinghe stopped talking, and smiled helplessly. It was obvious that this guy was much smaller than the one with a figure, and was far less than what Lu Qin said.
Perhaps his past life was relatively smooth, and he had not suffered any setbacks. Such a child needs to be beaten hard, so just hit him again: "Li Yang, Kentucky is not a southern state of the United States, to be precise, it should be a central state of the United States. During the Civil War, Kentucky was the border state of the north and south of the United States. It was very interesting. At that time, their president in the north and the president in the south and Jefferson Davis were both Kentucky. That was the fellow villager of James on the stage. Stephen Foster was not a fellow villager of James."
Li Yang said with a silence and said with a hard mouth: "No matter what, this song is not good to sing by James, and it is not suitable for this Christmas Eve concert."
Lu Qin agreed: "Well, James sang so badly, he ruined a good song. Let's go, my dear, go and meet the president of the guitar club."
Lu Qin pulled Du Xinghe down the stands. Many students from the guitar club greeted Lu Qin. They all knew Lu Qin. After learning that the boy Lu Qin was holding was her boyfriend, almost all the students were surprised! They all knew that their teacher Lu had a high vision. Even if they were looking for a boyfriend, they would be a big entrepreneur or government official, or even the big star that Lu Qin admired the most! How could he be a handsome little boy?
What kind of charm does this boy have to catch up with their dream lover teacher!
Many boys were extremely curious about Du Xinghe, and naturally some people also felt the faint hostility of Li Yang. Faced with such an opponent, they were very dissatisfied with losing! This was completely a flower inserted into cow dung!
James' performance was over, and Xu Jingwei was having a headache, and she heard everyone around her talking about Lu Qin. When she turned her head and saw Lu Qin walking over with a boy, she quickly got up to greet Lu Qin.
"Teacher Lv, you are here."
While greeting Lu Qin, Xu Jingwei's eyes naturally looked at Du Xinghe. When she heard the people around her, Xu Jingwei couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she knew that this person was Lu Qin's boyfriend.
Judging from the appearance alone, this boy is quite pleasing to the eye and has very white skin. He can be described as handsome, but he is not the kind of super handsome guy who makes girls unable to pull out the eyes at first sight.
Judging from his age, he is probably a little younger than Lu Qin, but his calm aura gives people a sense of maturity far beyond his age.
Amid the crowd's discussion, the boy did not feel cramped or uneasy, his face was indifferent, and even a little indifferent. It seemed that being Lu Qin's boyfriend was a very sparse and ordinary thing, and there was nothing worthy of his pride.
Compared with the sweetness and happiness on Lu Qin's face, it is obvious that Lu Qin is very proud of having such a boyfriend!
This boy must have abilities or charm that are far beyond ordinary people, otherwise it would be impossible to make Teacher Lu, who is more loving than the sky, like this!
As soon as they met, Xu Jingwei took a look up to Du Xinghe.
At the same time, she also felt that Du Xinghe looked familiar, and seemed to have seen it somewhere.
"I'll introduce you to Jingwei, this is my boyfriend Du Xinghe, the boss of Yunshi Records Company, an absolute musical genius. The song "Little Bird" that has been very popular recently was produced by their company!"
"Oh~!"
After being introduced by Lu Qin, Xu Jingwei remembered that she had watched Du Xinghe on TV! No wonder she felt it looked familiar!
In the finals of this year's Youth Star Song Competition, there are edited versions on music stations everywhere. Xu Jingwei watched this competition at Sucheng Music Station. Du Xinghe was the boy in a white dress who gave Xu Nuo the piano in the finals!
Just like most local stations, Sucheng Music Station played the highlights of this finals and cut off the scene where Xu Nuo said that Du Xinghe was destined to become the emperor superstar, but the scene of Du Xinghe playing the piano still left a deep impression on Xu Jingwei!
After seeing Xu Jingwei say "Oh", her expression becomes very surprised, even a little surprised. Lu Qin realizes something. She smiles and asks her: "You won't know your master, are you?"
"I've watched him on TV!" After returning to Lu Qin, Xu Jingwei asked Du Xinghe with Xiao Chongjing: "Hello, Master."
Du Xinghe was called "Master Master" very helplessly. These students were obviously older than him and older than Lu Qin. They were called "Master Master" by these college students or master's students, making him look like an old monster like the Tonglao of Tianshan.
I could only act with a tough bullet and Du Xinghe politely replied to Xu Jingwei and said hello.
Lu Qin was excited and asked Du Xinghe: "Have you even been on TV?"
Du Xinghe was unable to go back to Lu Qin. As a person in the entertainment industry, of course he has been on TV! But it doesn’t happen many times.
The most recent time is Fang Yajun's signing ceremony. At that time, the press conference they held in South China was hosted by Hongyan Records. He attended the conference as the boss of Yunshi. He also signed a symbolic record contract with Fang Yajun and Luo Haichao in front of hundreds of media outlets in the southeast region.
That night, the scenes of their press conferences appeared in entertainment news on many TV stations. However, most of the shots were on Fang Yajun, all of which were close-ups of Fang Yajun's goddess. He was given few shots, but he only introduced him and Yunshi Company in the background sound.
I guess this is Xu Jingwei, the black and thin female president who looks a bit like Xu Jinglei. She only has an impression of him after reading such news.
Seeing Du Xinghe ignore her, Lu Qin had to ask Xu Jingwei again: "Jingwei, where did you see your master?"
"At the music station, in the final of this year's Youth Star Song Competition, the last song "I Only Care about You" sung by Xu Nuo was accompanied by the master's piano! So handsome!"
Du Xinghe frowned and smiled. Unexpectedly, Xu Jingwei had watched the finals of the Youth Star Song Competition.
Some students around him heard Xu Jingwei say this, and gradually linked Du Xinghe with the "insider information" uploaded by some gossip magazines they had read. It turned out that this guy was the "genius boy" who was known as the "shield"! Is he so genius? He was able to catch Lu Qin. Many people have questions about Du Xinghe.
Li Yang had already hid aside and was unwilling to be stimulated by Lu Qin and Du Xinghe anymore. At this time, a boy from the guitar club with the same jealousy came over him. He looked at Du Xinghe in the distance and said to Li Yang: "That guy is just a blank air. Why did our teacher Lu be deceived by him?"
"What an empty air? What are you talking about?" Li Yang was stunned by the boy named Chen Chunyu beside him.
Chen Chunyu likes Fang Yajun very much, so he has read Yunshi and Du Xinghe's gossip. He is a loyal fan of gossip magazine conspiracy theory. He can't believe that Fang Yajun would join Yunshi because of a little brat like Du Xinghe. In his opinion, Yunshi must be Chen Xi's company, so Fang Yajun would join.
So he told Li Yang that Du Xinghe was empty-handed.
"No way?" Li Yang was shocked when he heard Chen Chunyu's description of Du Xinghe! His little eyes opened two millimeters more! He said to Chen Chunyu: "Where are you looking at gossip? It can't be true, right? Teacher Lu is so smart, how could he find such a person to be his boyfriend?"
"Who knows, this matter must be true. I have relatives from their circle. It is said that this little Du is not worthy of his name!" Chen Chunyu made a fuss to discredit his love rival.
Li Yang still couldn't believe it.
However, thinking about it carefully, Du Xinghe was really a badass just now. After learning music for a few years, he showed off his sarcasm in front of them. It is estimated that Lu Qin was confused by his sweet words and felt that he was a music genius!
If you think about it carefully, where is he a genius? He is just a pretender! He also said that James has a good sense of singing, which is the appreciation of genius?
Li Yang narrowed his eyes and felt a little unhappy again. He looked at Du Xinghe from afar, thinking that he had to give Du Xinghe a color to see if this guy was Li Kui or Li Gui!
