Chapter 217 Bait
Constantine?
Lin Rui seemed to have some recollection of it.
Last time at the Golden Hall, it seemed to be this guy's apprentice who had some verbal conflict with the Xia State delegation.
As for what that guy's name was, I have absolutely no recollection of it!
"Miss Christie, could you please help me contact Master Constantine?"
Christie fell silent in response to Lin Rui's request.
Frankly speaking, among the people she least wanted to deal with in the entire piano world, Constantine was definitely number one.
Other artists are all gentle and refined, with broad minds. But Constantine is an oddball, with a foul temper and stubbornness. Forget about being friends with such a person, even pretending to be friends with him feels disgusting.
Christy was in a dilemma because Lin Rui had spoken up, and she didn't want to refuse.
"Is it inconvenient?"
Lin Rui seemed to have guessed something.
After all, Constantine's reputation is truly terrible.
"It's not that it's inconvenient."
"But I think it would be better to discuss this in person."
"That guy has a terrible temper and is quite arrogant. If it were just a phone call, he would probably hang up before we could even exchange a few words."
Lin Rui looked thoughtful; he felt that Christie's analysis made some sense.
Ultimately, when you're trying to talk to someone, you have to show enough sincerity, no matter what. Focusing solely on phone communication, especially when the two parties don't have much of a relationship, is definitely not the right approach.
However, Lin Rui currently has a lot of things to deal with and cannot spare the time to go to Luo Guo.
"Miss Christy, what do you think of the feasibility of inviting Master Constantine to visit China?"
After a moment of thought, Christie pondered and said, "If it's just a regular invitation, given that stubborn mule's temper, even if he agrees verbally, he'll probably stand you up in the end."
After a pause, Christie continued, "But if we start with discussions and exchanges about the piano, the chances of getting an invitation will be higher."
"Is that even possible?" Lin Rui was somewhat surprised.
"sure."
"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, this stubborn mule isn't entirely without merit; at least in his pursuit of art, he does have some redeeming qualities."
Lin Rui didn't pay attention to what Christie said.
He began to think about how he could invite Constantine to China.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
"Miss Christy, do you have a recording device with you?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"I'll play a piece later, could you please record it and send it to Maestro Constantine?"
Christie immediately guessed Lin Rui's intention.
Is this a preparation to lay the bait?
As for why this method was chosen, Christie completely understands, and can only say that China's cultural wall is truly excellent.
Three minutes later, Lin Rui sat down at the piano, his fingers gliding lightly across the black and white keys.
—Nocturne in E-flat major
As Christie recorded and listened, a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face the moment the piano music began.
Even with her easygoing nature, she couldn't help but feel an urge to curse at this moment!
Those self-proclaimed senior classical artists, are these the pseudo-masters you call those who don't understand classical music?
It's obvious who doesn't understand classical music!
Christie, who couldn't help but look out at the moonlight, was gradually drawn into the boundless nightscape depicted by the piano music.
The song ended.
Coming to her senses, Christie asked in surprise, "Mr. Lin, you mentioned earlier that there would be some piano music in the movie. Is this piece among them?"
"right."
