Chapter 620 National Attention
"Hello, Brother Zhao!" After the remarks of Songshen, Lu Wei greeted him with a smile, "Haha, you guy, haven't seen him for several years. You have become a great pianist, you have never forgotten your Brother Zhao." Zhao Yiming's voice was cheerful and loud, and he joked humorously.
"See what you said, Brother Zhao, how can you do it?" Lu Wei smiled.
"Lu Wei, I have something to notify you. The department attaches great importance to the participation of several domestic pianists in the Masters Cup. Deputy Minister Chen, who is in charge of literature and art, decided to hold a special farewell ceremony tomorrow. You can call me directly to the conference room of the department tomorrow morning. There is no problem." Zhao Yiming said briefly.
"Oh, that's right." Lu Wei said after thinking about it: "Ke Ran, I have no problem. I will definitely arrive before the verbal slap."
"Okay, that's it. I wish you good results in the competition in advance." Zhao Yiming said, and after chatting with Lu Wei on the phone for a few more words, he hung up the phone.
"It's Zhao Yiming's phone call." Seeing Lu Wei hung up the phone, Er Xiangdong brought a glass of wine and walked over and asked with a smile, "Yes, it means that the Ministry of Culture is going to hold a special ceremony today. This is a big deal. You have received the call, too." Lu Wei said with a smile.
"Yes, I didn't expect that the country would attach so much importance to it. This is the first time I have seen such a situation. I have participated in so many competitions before, but I have never seen any country pay so much attention to it." Kong Yangdong smiled and said, "Yes, the specifications are high. Judging from the situation of this Masters Cup, it is simply an Olympic in the piano world." Lu Wei said with some emotion.
"Yes, this competition is different from the past. Whether it is the requirements for contestants, the settings of competition judges, and the arrangement of venues are definitely one of the rare high-standard specifications in recent years. Such a piano competition can definitely be regarded as unprecedented. It is normal for the country to attach so much importance to it."
Kong Xiangdong said, then looked at Lu Wei again and said with a smile: "Now we two are going to compete on the same stage. I really didn't expect it. It feels quite interesting, haha." Kong Xiangdong said, and took a sip of the wine in the glass.
"Yes, Teacher Kong, I will do my best, you must be careful." Lu Wei said with a smile.
"It seems like I will show mercy, haha, anyone will do their best in such a game. I won't give in to you just because you are my student." Kong Xiangdong said this, his expression turned on his face and became a little serious.
"However, even if you go all out, it will be difficult to achieve a better result."
"Yes, there are many experts, but this kind of competition is exciting!" Lu Wei said excitedly, with some expectations in his eyes.
"Yes, being able to participate in such a game is an exciting thing. Be prepared and let me see your wonderful performance!"
The banquet lasted for more than an hour, and during this period, the people who expressed their blessings to Lu Wei and the reporters who came to interview him never stopped. When they arrived at home, even though Lu Wei was physically strong, he felt a little tired.
"Oh, tired! I didn't expect that eating a meal is more tiring than playing the piano for three hours. In the future, the fewer such social events, the better." Lu Wei threw himself on the bed and said with emotion.
"You should also pay attention to your body. Don't be too tired. Your piano has been played so well. Don't practice so hard every day." Xiaoling gently held Lu Wei's head and said softly.
"Xiaoling, this Masters Cup is very high in specifications. I have to use all my strength. It's nothing to be tired, I'm still young." Although Lu Wei's voice was a little tired, he was full of confidence.
"Well, I believe you. I've been tired for a day. Go to bed early." Xiaoling gently put Lu Wei's head in his arms and said softly.
Oh, with the faint fragrance on Xiaoling's hairline, Lu Wei felt a sense of peace and comfort in his body and mind, and fell asleep deeply.
Ye Wumeng, the next morning, Lu Wei got up before seven o'clock and drove to Ailing Entertainment. After more than an hour of tossing by a professional makeup artist, he drove to the Ministry of Culture.
After registering in front of the door, under the guidance of a staff member in the office, Lu Wei came to a large conference room. There were already many people inside, but most of them were staff members of government agencies, busy laying the venue in an orderly manner. The red flags hung on the stage and the flowers placed in an orderly manner created a formal and serious atmosphere. Looking at this scene, Lu Wei seemed to feel that he was attending the conference.
"Lu Wei, it's coming very early." Kong Xiangdong's voice came from behind.
"I'm here online, Teacher Kong, you're not too late." He smiled and said hello to Kong Xiangdong, and Lu Wei walked over immediately.
"Lu Wei, long time no see!" A vibrant voice sounded. Lu Wei, who was chatting with Kong Yangdong, raised his head, but saw Lang Lang wearing a black suit greeting him with a smile.
"Langlang! It's really a long time since I saw you. You haven't changed at all, you're still so handsome." Lu Wei said with a smile.
"Haha, thank you. I have heard a few of your pictures recently. I have a very good taste, especially the song "Defend the Yellow River". How can you be so craftsmanship... I really admire you." Lang Ming said three words without leaving the piano, and he was dancing when he said this.
"It's a whim that makes you laugh." Seeing Lang Lang's enthusiasm, Lu Wei felt very moved. It was not accidental to think that Lang Lang's success is now such a famous pianist, but when it comes to piano, it's still the same feeling as if a child saw his favorite toys. This is the true love for piano and the true passion for music. Lu Wei has always felt that hobbies are the biggest motivation for learning something. He can achieve such achievements today, and some unexpected helps, but if he didn't really like piano from the bottom of his heart, he would definitely not have reached such a height.
Lang Lang and Kong Xiangdong are not unfamiliar with each other. They are both students from Curtis Conservatory of Music. Naturally, there are many topics to each other.
After a while, Li Yundi, Sun Ying and Chen Sa arrived one after another, and several people were familiar with each other. They had already met each other during the "Star Sea Cup" and the China International Piano Competition, and they had a very happy chat with each other.
"Hello, I am Fang Ming, a reporter from CCTV. Can I have an interview with you guys?" A reporter with a low-sized face and a square face came to the front of the people with a microphone and interrupted their conversation.
When I saw the words on the microphone, several people knew that this was an interview reporter designated by the Ministry of Culture, so naturally they would not refuse and accepted the interview in great harmony.
Fang Ming asked about the situation of the Master Cup, the state and thoughts of several people, but he did not linger like some reporters. After learning about it for a while, Fang Ming politely said thank you and walked away.
"Oh, it would be great if all the reporters were so civilized." Lu Wei said with emotion. He annoyed those reporters.
"Haha, this reporter is not that reporter. This is for dinner. Interviews are just a task. Those reporters from the entertainment media are different. They just point to dig up the news about us. How can we not be crazy?" Lang Lang said with a smile.
"Someone, it's so early." Zhao Yiming walked in from the door and saw a few people, and hurried forward to say hello.
"Hello, Secretary Zhao." Seeing Zhao Yiming, several pianists greeted him politely. Under the Chinese system, the government has a huge influence on the entertainment industry, and several people hope to establish good relations with the government.
After chatting with a few people for a while, Zhao Yiming's cell phone suddenly rang. After walking to the side and answering the phone, Zhao Yiming hurriedly walked to the people and said, "Everyone, Vice Minister Chen has arrived. Everyone prepares it. I will talk to you about the several links in a while." Zhao Yiming said, and then talked about the process of the farewell ceremony to several people. It was just that one of the few people chose a representative to make a statement. Then Vice Minister Chen spoke, and finally everyone took a photo together and attended the lunch meeting. This was a standard fixed process.
Under Zhao Yiming's guidance, several people came to their positions one after another. Not long after, with the sound of footsteps coming from the door, a group of officials entered one after another.
The middle-aged man, who was in his early fifties and had a fat body and extraordinary temperament, walked straight to the stage. According to the reporters who had interviewed several people on Zhao Mipiao Astronomy Network, he quickly set up the machine and pointed the camera at him.
As a representative, Lang Lang walked onto the stage and delivered a brief speech, which was nothing more than just a demonstration of confidence.
"Hello, comrades, I'm happy to attend the farewell ceremony of the Stanway Masters Cup"
Deputy Minister Chen started his speech, but obviously everyone was not very interested in such speeches. Not many people could really listen to the speech for half an hour.
However, there is still one thing that makes everyone feel happy. In order to show the country's attention to this competition, the Ministry of Culture has made unified arrangements for the flight tickets and accommodations of the six participating pianists. Although each of these pianists has some wealth and does not care about these. However, seeing the country's attention to this attitude makes everyone feel very comfortable.
The atmosphere at the next lunch meeting was very lively. The leaders of these managers, Ke Qi, had a little understanding of music and had a very speculative chat with several pianists.
Lu Wei was a little surprised that Zhao Yiming accompanied him on this trip to Germany, and accompanied him with a press team, who was responsible for reporting on the matter and reported the competition process to the domestic real-time.
