Second Piano Concerto

The caller was Lu Liqiu, one of Qin Haiou's classmates and best friends when he was studying abroad, and an internationally renowned violinist.Due to their similar age and similar personalities, the two still keep in touch after leaving school and look for opportunities to collaborate in concerts every year.

"It's really you! Where have you been these past few months? You disappeared without even saying hello, and you can't find it no matter how you look for it, it's so embarrassing!" Qin Haiou and all his friends have been talking about it for the past few months. After losing contact, Lu Liqiu didn't know his current situation, couldn't get in touch with him, and made many inquiries to no avail, so he complained about it.

"Sorry." Qin Haiou expected him to react like this, but he didn't want to tell the truth, so he had to apologize first.

But Lu Liqiu refused to give up, and then asked: "What do you mean by sending that news suddenly? You really don't plan to go on stage? What are you doing this for? Do you know that when you send out the news, , everyone is fried!"

"I know." Qin Haiou said after a moment of silence.In fact, after making the decision, he didn't pay attention to the reaction of the outside world, but he could imagine the scene, which is one of the reasons why he has always refused to contact other people.

"Since you know why you still hide? Chen Fu is almost worried to death, seeing me read it again and again, as if I hid you," Lu Liqiu suddenly paused at this point, "You Are you feeling unwell, sick?"

"No, I'm fine." Qin Haiou hurriedly said that he was indeed ill, but it wasn't what Lu Liqiu thought. He didn't want Lu Liqiu to continue guessing, and he had something urgent to say, so he rushed to Lu Liqiu again Before opening his mouth, he said, "I'll talk to you about this in detail later. Are you free today? Do you have any arrangements for tomorrow?"

Lu Liqiu was obviously stunned for a moment: "...Haha, so you want to invite me to dinner!"

Qin Haiou didn't know how the other party immediately thought of treating guests to dinner, but he was used to it.Lu Liqiu is young, but he is widely praised for his rigorous, calm and sophisticated style. He is a different person on stage and off stage. Anyone who has met him off stage knows that he is actually lively and quick thinking. , often connect two irrelevant things together, which makes people confused.

Qin Haiou said directly: "No, I want to ask you for help."

Lu Liqiu was stunned again: "Are you looking for someone to help? This is so rare! Tell me!" Given Qin Haiou's status in the industry, others always beg him. The rich management team can also come forward to handle it for him, and he has a low-key personality and doesn't like to trouble others. It is really rare for him to ask for help in person, which makes Lu Liqiu very curious.

Qin Haiou asked again: "Are you free? This will take up some of your time."

Lu Liqiu said: "There is a charity concert tonight, which ends at nine o'clock, and there will be a thank you reception after that, so I don't have to go. I have no plans for tomorrow. Stop rambling, what the hell is going on!"

Only then did Qin Haiou feel relieved and told him about the recording.Lu Liqiu thought for a moment after listening to it: "Send me the score as soon as possible. I will take a look at it before the concert starts. If there are difficult parts, I will go home and practice after the concert is over. I will record tomorrow morning and try to Send you the recorded things before noon, do you think this is okay?"

"Okay, thank you." Qin Haiou said.He knew that with Lu Liqiu's ability, it is possible to record directly after getting the score. The reason why he proposed to record again tomorrow morning is because he is tired after the concert and is not in the best condition, which may affect the effect of recording.Although this matter is not difficult for Lu Liqiu, he will not lower his performance requirements because of this. What he proposes is the fastest speed that can be achieved under the premise of ensuring the quality of the recording.This is the professionalism of a performer, and it is also responsible for friends.If it were Qin Haiou himself, he would make the same suggestion.

"Then it's settled, you can send the file to my mailbox!" Lu Liqiu finished his business, and began to digress actively, "When will you tell me? I helped you, when will you Invite me to dinner? Tonight's concert report will also come, and she also invited me to see the art exhibition tomorrow, but unfortunately you are not here..."

Qin Haiou was pleasantly surprised: "Report? I'm just looking for her, I still need a cello here!"

Chen Xu is a cellist that Qin Haiou met through Lu Liqiu. The three of them once formed a trio to perform on the same stage and made records together. They are also good friends of Qin Haiou.However, Chen Xu lived abroad all year round, and Qin Haiou was worried that the incident would happen suddenly and he would not be able to find her for a while. At this time, after hearing Lu Liqiu's words, he knew that the cello matter had also been settled, and he was relieved.

Lu Liqiu said: "Why didn't you say it earlier, leave this matter to me!"

Qin Haiou said: "Let me tell her myself." Although the three of them have known each other for many years and are very familiar with each other, it is after all that he asked others for help, and he didn't want to be rude.

Lu Liqiu said: "It's okay, don't worry! I have my plan."

Qin Haiou said, "What the hell are you doing?"

Lu Liqiu said: "She just changed her mobile phone number, you don't know yet?"

Qin Haiou said that he really didn't know.

Lu Liqiu said: "That's it! Anyway, you can't contact her, I'll let her call you!" Then he hung up the phone.

Qin Haiou had no choice but to let him go.He then thought that Tan Shuo might still be in a hurry, so he took his mobile phone and went downstairs to find someone. Seeing that Tan Shuo was no longer in the inn, nor in the rice noodle shop, he went to the second floor of the rice noodle shop and knocked on the door.The door was opened after a while, and Tan Shuo answered the phone while opening the door, looking very irritable: "You can't find anyone, where else can I go to find someone? Don't you know who I can contact?!  … ..."

Qin Haiou stood quietly outside the door and waited for him to finish the phone call before he stepped forward and said, "I found someone."

"Ah?" Tan Shuo didn't respond.

"The person who recorded it." Qin Haiou said.

"Really!" Tan Shuo was happy for a second, then wondered, "Who is it, is it reliable?"

"There should be no problem." Lu Liqiu and Chen Xu are both world-class performers, and Qin Haiou firmly believes that with their strength, they will be able to complete this recording.

"How much?" Tan Shuo continued to ask.Now that he has a candidate, he has to ask the price clearly for Li Zhenqiang.

Qin Haiou was stunned: "No money..."

"Ah?" Tan Shuo was also taken aback.

Qin Haiou hurriedly explained: "They are all my friends, and they are here to help this time, so they don't need money."

"Oh!" Tan Shuo nodded, then remembered to ask, "What musical instrument?"

"Violin and cello," Qin Haiou said, looking at his expression again, "Piano... can I record it?"

"Ah?" Tan Shuo's brain was a little out of use.

Qin Haiou looked at him carefully, worried that he would disagree.

"Damn, why didn't I think of it!" Tan Shuo was excited, "It's ok! This is so good! Come on, I'll show you the score right now!"

Due to the tight time this time, Tan Shuo made the score directly on the computer with music software, and then sent the electronic version of the score to Li Zhenqiang by email.At this moment, he understood what Qin Haiou meant, and immediately sat down in front of the computer, ready to print out the score for Qin Haiou to use.Seeing this, Qin Haiou hurriedly said: "Don't rush to get mine, just send them the cello and violin files first."

"Oh, that's right!" Tan Shuo was anxious like ants in a hot pot two minutes ago, but now that the matter has been resolved suddenly, he is a little dizzy.He knew that what Qin Haiou said was the most urgent task, so he put the piano part aside for the time being, and started to prepare the recording files needed for the cello and violin.

Qin Haiou watched Tan Shuo busy.After a while, his mobile phone rang again, and the name of the reporter was displayed on the screen.He quickly connected, and when he heard Chen Fu say "Hello" on the other end, he couldn't help asking in surprise, "Did you change your number?"

"Huh?" Chen Xu didn't understand why he hadn't contacted him for a few months. Qin Haiou asked this question the first time he opened his mouth, and was surprised, "Who told you that I changed my number?"

"beginning of autumn……"

After a while, he laughed: "Why do you always fall for him! I wonder why you didn't come to me directly, it turned out that he was making trouble again. He used your news to blackmail me for a meal. This time I Make a note of it first, you will have to supply it to me next time we meet."

"Okay." Qin Haiou said.

Chen Xu said again: "Li Qiu has already told me about the recording. Please send me the file, and I will record it with him tomorrow."

"Thank you." Qin Haiou said.

"Seagull..." After Chen Qu finished his business, he suddenly fell silent.She was silent for a while, and Qin Haiou didn't speak either.Qin Haiou felt that he probably knew what Chen Xu wanted to say. She must have as many doubts as Lu Liqiu. At the same time, he also felt that he was very sorry for his friends. If it wasn't for the recording, he might still not Reach out to them.But he couldn't answer the questions that the report might raise, he couldn't even answer the questions in his own mind, and he didn't have any progress or plans to tell her.

And Chen Xu didn't ask any questions after all, he just sighed and said: "Seagull, you have to take care, don't forget to call us when you have time."

"I will." Qin Haiou said.

After the two hung up the phone, Qin Haiou continued to wait for Tan Shuo's documents, and then sent these documents to Lu Liqiu and Chen Xu's mailboxes respectively on Tan Shuo's computer.At this time, Tan Shuo had already printed the score. Qin Haiou took the score and looked at it roughly. He found that the piano part was not technically difficult for him, so he asked Tan Shuo, "Do you have any requirements for the processing of music?"

Tan Shuo didn't answer this question right away, he was thinking about another thing: "Where are we recording?"

Under normal circumstances, such recordings will be made in a professional recording studio, but there is no such recording studio in Longjin Town, and there is only one piano, so the answer seems obvious.But Tan Shuo couldn't be sure whether Liu Yang's piano room met the recording conditions, and he had never observed that room with these standards.Listening to his question, Qin Haiou also realized the problem of the recording venue, and recalled: "Miss Liu's place is quite quiet...how about we go and have a look?"

"Okay!" Tan Shuo also felt that it was necessary to inspect the site first, and was ready to leave after speaking.Qin Haiou neatly stacked the scores in his hand and took them with him, and the two went downstairs together.
