Chapter 169: Come and See My Concert

There is only one Mandela, and the newly elected ANC gang has often said politically incorrect things in public in the past two years, or made a little international joke, so that the African American stars who had previously supported them had to carefully screen and keep a distance from some of them.

Although Song Ya was taken aback, he politely received each other under the introduction of the South African singer, shook hands and took a group photo, accepted the greetings of Mandela conveyed by the other party, and talked about his charity activities in South Africa.

"Anyway, remember that you have our back, APLUS."

Before leaving, the ambassador said: "I'm sorry to disturb your rehearsal, I'll see you in the hall, I'm looking forward to your new music, it just sounds great outside the door." ”

"The hall? I still have a box ticket here......" Song Ya showed goodwill.

"No, you don't." The ambassador smiled, "I will sit in the first row with the governor, the mayor and gentlemen...... You know, they love to be caught on TV. ”

"Oooh, I see, sorry, I'm a little out of my brain right now."

After seeing the other party leave, Song Ya shook his head and complained to everyone in the rehearsal room with a wry smile, "It's really long-winded......" raised the baton amid everyone's laughter, "Forget it, let's continue to ......"

Baba yetu yetu uliye Mbinguni yetu yetu amina

Designed in the Georgian architectural style, the Chicago Symphony Center retains the glitz and luxury of the British classical theatre and provides guests with a separate locker room to cope with the bloated Chicago winter, and is itself a social space integrating a bar and lounge.

"Mr. Governor, ma'am."

Peter and Alicia were holding a child by themselves, and as soon as they entered the door, a waiter came over and helped them take off their coats, "And you ......" The waiter served two more children, "Please wait a minute...... "Soon, send back four deposit vouchers with numbers and coins.

Staring at the children jumping into the wide single sofa, "It's a little shabby here." Alicia pointed to the well-maintained furnishings, which showed signs of time.

"There will be a major renovation soon." Peter said, "It costs a lot of money." ”

"Your state government is out?" Alicia asked.

"There should be a little bit of it, depending on the private donations...... This is a matter for the city of Chicago, so let little Daley have a headache first. Peter smiled, "Drink something?" Champagne? He motioned for the waiter to come over, "Two glasses of champagne, two glasses of juice thanks." ”

The family of four is very beautiful, and soon a celebrity comes to greet them and praise their warm family.

"Don't be so unruly!"

The two children began to bounce on the sofa, Alicia went over to give a lecture, and when they sat down honestly, they turned around and saw Peter peeking at a young beauty passing by, Monroe-style hairstyle, makeup and big white evening dress, even the killer smile on a man is very similar, but it is much taller than Monroe, and it can be about one meter eight with high heels? I didn't know the governor either, so I ran straight into the entrance of the box area all the way to the box.

Peter put the glass to his lips, his head slightly lowered, and squinted the girl's face with a covert squint, then quickly stared at the other's feet, and then up and down until his back disappeared.

"You're disgusting." Alicia said coldly as she waited for him to return.

"It's just familiar." Peter didn't feel guilty about being caught by his wife, and shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm waiting to see how ugly you are exposed by the media again!"

"Don't argue in front of the kids, OK?" Peter shot back, "Whoever tells someone never fulfills the duty that God has given to his wife." ”

After that, except for socializing in front of people, the two did not say a word to each other in private, and entered a familiar state of cold war.

Baba yetu yetu uliye Jina lako litukuzwe

"Mr. Geffen? Mr. Geffen? ”

The 'Monroe' had rushed to the door of the box where David Geffen was, but was stopped by the waiter in the hallway.

"It's okay, my friend, come in!"

David Geffen turned back and beckoned to her, "Charlies, Charlise Theron, right?" ”

"Yes, it's an honor to meet you here, Mr. Geffen."

Charlis smiled sweetly and went in to hug and kiss the people in the box.

"Keanu told me about you and praised your acting skills." David Geffen put his arm around her waist gentlemanly, "Introduction, Doug Morris, this is ......"

David Geffen introduced Universal Music and Geffen Music executives to her in the box, "Charis, a promising rookie actor. Milla Jovovich, you know each other, right? ”

"I guess I know."

Charlise looked at Mira, who was of similar height and was dressed in a gorgeous evening dress, and was acting as a female companion next to Doug Morris, the president of Universal Music, and reached out to shake each other's hands and smile.

"Sit down, it's still early." David Geffen motioned for her to sit next to him, and then resumed the interrupted chat.

"Since the Anaconda disaster you starred in is scheduled for April, what about the football stunner? The new album will be released simultaneously with the football stunner, and APLUS is so planned, right? ”

But the focus of the conversation is on Mira's side, and Doug Morris values the three-dimensional actress who paid a lot of money from Song Ya to secure the record on the new A+ record, and the people in the room quickly dismiss Charlise as a beautiful vase.

"I don't know the exact date of the football stunner, but the idea of APLUS should be to coincide with the football World Cup qualifiers in North America and the Caribbean......"

Mira replied. In order to match the feminine evening dress, she also wore a black wig today, and her long straight hair fell from the sides of her face to her chest, which contrasted with the flaming red lip makeup, which had a strong visual impact.

"Qualifiers...... Is that? David Geffen asked his men.

"Probably in September or October." The subordinate who was inserted into the new A+ record replied: "In short, Mira's exposure this year will be quite guaranteed. ”

"Wow, that's going to have to be grasped." Doug Morris nodded in admiration.

"Yes." The subordinates chimed in.

"How many songs does APLUS have in store for you?" David Geffen asked.

Mira recalled, "At the moment...... Eight to nine songs. ”

"It's all pop rock, punk rock?"

"Yes."

"Well, there will definitely not be much pressure to send special courses in September and October."

David Geffen thought for a moment and asked, "How many songs did he write himself?" ”

"He wrote it." Mira continued to answer truthfully.

"Hohoho......" The men in the room laughed knowingly.

"I said it wouldn't be wrong to keep Mira, right?" David Geffen smugly boasted to others, especially Doug Morris, who had previously been a bit opposed to raising the A+ record price and taking Mila Singer's contract on the condition of letting Foxy Brown go.

Doug Morris had no choice but to laugh along, "Why don't you sing the title song for us here?" Mira. ”

"The title song? Uh......"

Mira looked embarrassed, "I haven't gotten the lyrics for the title song yet, and APLUS said that it has been written, and I'll give it to me when I'm done with it for a while." ”

"Yes, he is indeed entangled in everything during this time, that is, the body and energy of young people can bear it."

Doug Morris expressed envy, "Then pick a song you like and sing a few words." ”

"Okay, ahem." Mira cleared her throat and thanked the men who helped clap the beat, "I got you, I got you on my mind......"

The atmosphere in the box was very good, Charlisy looked at Mira, who was overshadowed by the stars, and followed the people to slap and smile, "I knew that I slipped out of Xue Linfen in order to meet David Gefen." She thought to herself.

Baba yetu yetu uliye Mbinguni yetu yetu amina

"Where's Charis?"

In another box, Xue Linfen, who was dressed brightly, asked.

"I'm going to say hello to the Hollywood bigwigs." Linda, who was teasing little Robb with Harley, replied.

"Give it to me, then." Xue Linfen led her son to the balcony-style second-floor grandstand outside and sat down.

"It's not ...... yet," Linda said.

"Don't be naughty, it's very high, be careful of falling." Xue Linfen picked up her son and put him on her lap and stopped him from climbing towards the railing of the stands.

Baba yetu yetu uliye Jina lako litukuzwe

Outside the gates of the Symphony Center, taxis and other vehicles are constantly parked on the side of the road, dropping off to watch the concert.

"Alas! Young people now......"

The elder Barnes, dressed in formal clothes, raised his arms for his wife to hold, and frowned at the family who came casually in their jackets and jackets in the distance...... It's really hard to get used to it.

"Times are different, old-fashioned." An old friend who also arrived with his wife smiled, "Come in, it's time to start." ”

Two pairs of old men and women went to the hall to find a place to sit down, and in the front row was the family of Chicago Mayor Daley Jr., who knew each other and socialized while there was still some time.

"Hoo ......"

Barnes Sr. didn't bother to participate, so he picked up the schedule that was placed on each seat and sat down, "What kind of track is this?" The one that follows Brahms's Symphony No. 1 in C minor. He didn't know the Swahili word Baba Yetu.

"Maybe it's a skit for the occasion." The old friend replied.

Symphony orchestra concerts also need freshness, often inserting some seasonal repertoire, and when performing in other countries, they will rehearse the country's famous songs to please the local audience.

"It's in need of repairs." The wife said after looking around.

"Well, they're really getting ready for a renovation, and Solti used to be very soft when he asked us for fundraising, Barenboy? Hehe, the level is not as arrogant as the predecessor. Old Barn said with disgust.

"It's the same in Solti's early days, it's just a matter of age." Said an old friend.

The chatter continued until the musicians took to the stage, the hall erupted in applause, and Barenboy culminated in his final appearance.

Spit and complain, and old Barn is not stingy with his applause.

Without any nonsense, Barron smiled and bowed and waved to the audience, shook hands with the principal violinist, and then stood on the podium, and the symphony hall fell silent until his baton fell and the magnificent music sounded.
