Othello's serious and slightly aged voice came from the office: "Who?"

"It's me, Victor. Director Othello, I have something to discuss with you." Victor condensed the smile just now and became gentle again.

Othello's voice was silent for a few seconds, and he said without doubt: "Oh, Victor, are you worried about your Princess's evaluation of your music? Come in, the door is unlocked."

He seemed to be in a very good mood, and he laughed twice, probably because he was praised by Princess Natasha.

For him who has not inspired the blood to become a knight, to maintain his noble status and the stability of the territory's property, the best choice is of course to be appreciated by the Grand Duke or Princess Natasha who has inherited the title of Count Violet, and Natasha The princess is very passionate about music. As a director of the Music Association, Othello has a great advantage in this regard.

Victor twisted the brass handle, slowly opened the door, and led Lucien into it.

Othello was sitting behind a red wooden desk. The black dress was straight and neat, without any trace of rain. The serious expression became gentle, his face was ruddy and full of energy. He held a quill pen in his hand and wrote on a piece of paper. What was it, after hearing the sound of Victor coming over, he looked up and said: "Victor, Your Royal Highness is very interested in the piano concerto that you wrote in the last year. I am very curious about the brand new instrument" Piano ". The concert next Saturday night is full of anticipation, don't let her down. "

"Well?" After seeing Victor, Othello naturally saw Lucien who followed behind and closed the door lightly, but he kept the noble etiquette and did not ask directly, but waited for Victor The introduction may be because Lucien ’s clothes are neat and elegant, and her appearance is handsome and stable, which is easy to leave a good impression. Othello did not seem displeased, just a little strange, "Victor brought a strange young man to What do you want me to do? "

He had obviously forgotten the side of Lucien he had seen wearing a linen jacket.

Victor is in a happy mood. Although he knows that negotiation will definitely be more difficult, he is full of fighting spirit and psychological preparation for facing setbacks: "I am very happy to be appreciated by Her Royal Highness. I am full of confidence in the concert. Mr. Othello, this is My student Lucien, Lucien Evans, who wrote an excellent piece of music, I would like to ask you to comment, you have a recognized authority on serious music. "

Even if he is a sensuous musician, it does not mean that Victor is not good at communicating with people and does not know how to deal with people. He does not directly say that he wants to change the track, but rather compliments. The director Othello gave him a chance to see Lucien's music without any prejudice and resistance.

Othello is not surprised. If Lucien is Victor ’s true disciple in music, it is normal for him to introduce and recommend Lucien to other musicians, performers, and critics, even for reasons. It is often the evaluation of students ’music or performance, so Othello ’s serious face has a polite smile on his serious face:" Victor, when did you accept this student? You have been preparing for the concert in the past year, but I did not I heard about it. "

Without explanation, Victor just smiled and handed the score to Othello, intending to wait until he finished reading.

Othello took the score, his expression became serious again, and he looked at the score seriously. The melody naturally appeared in his mind, and soon he was impressed by the brief and powerful lingering notes at the beginning. He frowned a little, and started the whole movement with such a note. It is entirely possible to foresee the fierceness behind him. This is something he has never encountered in his music career in the past few decades. Aalto's music trend in recent years began with the theme of his own emotions and other things.

Although he is good at serious subjects, Othello's seriousness is limited to religious themes. In addition, he is old and subconsciously resists new things.

But the shocking and intense melody in the back made Othello feel as if his heart would stop beating until he finished reading the first movement. At this time, he found that his palm was all sweat and made the paper on the edge of the score. Getting wet and wrinkled is like going through a thrilling fight.

The rejection of this kind of theme music reminded Othello of the first movement, and he wished to tear up the entire score, not let it spread, and not let others be infected by this music.

Even though he hated it and hated it again, Othello gave a very high evaluation of the melody of the first movement. Two emotions fought in his heart, making his wrinkled eyebrows never relax.

After reading all the movements, Othello remained silent because he did n’t know how to evaluate it. In recent years, “Music Review” and “Symphony Herald” have welcomed this theme music. Aalto ’s mainstream music is in Natasha The same is true under the leadership of the princess, so it is impossible to comment on this aspect.

And such a prestigious noble musician himself will not be disrespectful to criticize the details of his music for a young man who has just begun to compose.

As for the melody that praises him, Othello will not do it against his will.

Quietness makes time seem to go very slowly. Othello finally put the score down and said slowly and seriously: "I am happy to see a young man who is very talented in music, but Lucien, music is the world Praising the Lord ’s voice is a sacred and broad religious tribute. I hope you can put your talents and thoughts more on this. "

"Thank you for your evaluation, Director Othello." Lucien responded politely with no heart at all, and praised the Lord himself. That was really the biggest joke.

Although Othello did not mention a single word in the music, Victor was very satisfied. It was an attitude that he could not criticize the music itself, so he explained the real intention: "I can get your praise, I am Lucien I ’m happy, trust Othello, you should have seen the value of this piece of music, I want to show it to everyone in my concert. "

"No!" Othello directly vetoed Victor's proposal without thinking, staring at Victor with his eyes as a nobleman and director.

Victor also looked at Othello without giving up: "Director Othello, why not?"

Othello was a little surprised by Victor's tough attitude, but he immediately thought he "understood" Victor's idea, that is to use this music to make his reputation and status go further: "I have already shown the track to Her Royal Highness If you change the track temporarily, it will leave the impression that the association is unreliable. Victor, do you want to use the development of the association in exchange for your reputation? "

Victor laughed and was full of fighting spirit: "If there is better music not shown to His Majesty the Grand Duke and His Royal Highness, then they will make their impression of the Association worse. Councillor Othello, if you do not agree, I will go find Ms. Sylvia, beg her to hand over the score to Her Royal Highness, I will not give up! "

"You!" His majesty was provoked, and Othello stood up like a lion, looking at Victor angrily.

After Victor showed his tough attitude, he began to persuade a little softer: "His Grand Duke and His Royal Highness have no prejudice to the theme music, and they can even be said to love it more. Trust Othello Director. You can imagine their reaction after hearing this music , Why not make them more satisfied and happier? This is also good for the Othello directors. "

No big figure at the top of the aristocrat likes it. Theme music expressing inner feelings will not become a trend in a few years.

The anger on Othello's face began to subside, and he was already old, and neither his son nor his grandson could stimulate the blood power. They must pave the way for them to let the glory of the family pass on with the title, and see Victor Attitude, even if he does not agree, he will try other methods.

After a short thought, Othello looked at Victor seriously: "I will listen to your practice two days before the concert. If there is no problem, I will temporarily change the track."

Persevering to win, Victor couldn't help but waved his fist: "As you wish, Councillor Othello."

Othello glanced at Lucien: "You have to say, Victor, you have an outstanding student, and his talent in music is unparalleled. Why does he not have a reputation in the association, should he be famous for his talents?"

"Three months ago, he came to learn music from me ..." Victor answered honestly.

Othello asked doubtfully: "Three months?"

"Well, he only started studying regular music for three months." Victor suddenly realized that he was a little looking forward to the reaction of the Othello director, while Lucian was in a daze.

Othello's mouth was half open, and he had not spoken for a long time, like a statue. The serious and old-fashioned temperament seemed very funny in this expression.

"Are you sure? Victor, are you sure he wrote it?" A few minutes later, Othello asked almost growling.

Victor nodded: "I watched him write it little by little, as evidenced by the manuscript of the past month, and Joseph also confirmed that there was no plagiarism. The reason why Lucien can write it comes from his life experience ..." In order to increase his persuasive power, Victor replaced the witnesses of Lott, Phyllis and others with himself.

Othello seemed to be overwhelmed with confidence and re-seat on the chair. Once the old man lost his self-control, he kept whispering and seemed to mourn his past music career.

After a while, he calmed down and waved Victor and Lucien away.

Out of Othello's office, Lucian saw a familiar person approaching, the church guard Correa, and a high-level knight servant who fought against the red-eyed mouse with himself.

Correa, wearing a silver chain mail, with a serious expression, walked in front of Lucien under the leadership of Elena: "Lucien, please answer, why didn't you come to the library of the Music Association this morning and give birth What's wrong? "

Elena led the church guard and was already a little uneasy. I did n’t know why he asked Lucien, but when I heard this question, I felt very ridiculous: "The church still manages things that others have not come to work for?" "

Victor is also very surprised, this normal thing also come to ask?Too many people to teach?
