Chapter 296 294. Art is so expensive! What if I disturb Wang Cheng's practice?
Erdao dealer...?
Professor Charles and Professor Haixi quickly took a look at the phone. When they saw the price number marked on the screen of the phone, they were so frightened that they almost didn't hold it!
Professor Haixi directly swears: "These damned guys, why don't you grab them? Falk!"
Professor Charles said helplessly: "The price is outrageous!"
Looking at the few lists just posted on the second-hand website, there is a long series of numbers clearly written on it, 500,000 Huaxia coins, converted into US dollars, it will cost about 80,000 US dollars!
Spending $80,000 just to see a music concert...
If this is said, someone will definitely say that they are sick, and maybe the senior management of the college will think that they are deliberately quoting high prices to defraud the college of reimbursement.
Hai Xi shook his head and said, "It's definitely not going to be sold at this price, we can wait and see first."
However, Phipps immediately jumped up and said: "No, two orders have been sold just now. The first row of tickets, priced at 500,000 Huaxia coins, have already sold two tickets, and now there are less than There are five. Professor, do we want to buy? If these are sold later, they may be gone."
"After all, there are only 100 tickets in the first row, and there won't be many in the hands of Erdao dealers."
Haixi looked at Charles, and Charles nodded immediately: "Buy, buy quickly!"
Phipps nodded: "Okay!"
After speaking, he immediately registered an account on the second-hand website, and then placed an order to buy.
However, when he bought it, only two of the five first-row tickets were left, and the other three were all bought.
Phips didn't dare to wait any longer, so he bought these two tickets first, and said, "Professor, I only bought two tickets for the first row."
Charles: "Keep staring. You and Heidi can sit in the back row, but Mr. Howard, the three of them, me, and Hessie, we must sit in the front row. Otherwise, we will be killed by Eastman." , Julia those people laughed at..."
Curtis is in the most direct competition with Eastman, Juilliard, Manhattan and other top music schools in the New York academic circle. They would rather die than lose face in front of each other.
So, Charles issued a death order: "Phips, you and Heidi watch together. As long as the first row of tickets appears, no matter what the price is, grab it directly!"
Heidi immediately said: "I saw one, the price is 600,000 Huaxia coins, do you want to buy it?"
Charles nodded: "Buy!"
Heidi just wanted to click to buy, but when she paid, it showed that it had been sold, and she said speechlessly: "600,000 has been preempted, God, these Chinese people are too crazy."
Professor Haixi said with emotion: "Perhaps, Wang Cheng's charm is so crazy."
Charles stood up, came to the window of the hotel, looked at the metropolis scene in Shanghai, which is more prosperous than New York, and said seriously: "Hai Xi, you contact the program team, we want to meet Wang Cheng in advance!"
Professor Haixi did not refuse: "Okay, I want to see him again!"
He knows that Curtis Institute doesn't have any advantage now, and several other top music schools in the world are also taking action, and Curtis Institute must act as early as possible.
Immediately, Professor Haixi picked up the phone and called Hu Xiaoshan.
A minute later, Professor Haixi hung up the phone and looked at Professor Charles solemnly: "Charles, bad news."
Charles frowned: "What news?"
Haixi: "The producer Hu told me that several music colleges in China, as well as Tim and Mark, had contacted Hu and wanted to visit Wang Cheng in advance. Hu told me that he couldn't guarantee whether he could see Wang Cheng today. Wang Cheng, he should ask Wang Cheng's manager first!"
Charles felt a lot of pressure all over his body. He didn't expect that several music colleges and universities in Huaxia, as well as several other world-class famous schools, had started to act, and they were not behind him. They all wanted to see Wang Cheng.
Charles said seriously: "We must not fall behind!"
Hai Xi nodded: "Of course, I told him, if we can go to see Wang Cheng, we must go!"
buzz buzz...
After a while, Haixi's phone rang. Seeing that it was Hu Xiaoshan, he quickly picked it up and answered, "Hu, how's it going?"
"Can I go see Wang Cheng?"
"Oh, okay, I'm waiting at the hotel for the car from the program team to pick it up! It's best to send a bigger car."
"Okay, please..."
hang up the phone.
Haixi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Charles: "It's done, half an hour later, the program team will send a car to the hotel to pick up everyone we want to see Wang Cheng!"
Charles frowned: "Go with people from Eastman, Julia, Manhattan, Berlin Art, Paris Music?"
Haixi nodded: "Yes..."
Charles said lightly: "No need, let's take a taxi and just follow the car of the program group."
Hai Xi smiled: "Actually, I think so too..."
There are few harmonious relationships between top artists, most of them are full of contradictions.
Because, those who can be called top music artists are all existences who have reached the pinnacle of their own fields, which shows that their own artistic concepts are extremely firm, and there will never be any concessions in conflicts between artistic concepts. Tit-for-tat, once they make concessions, it means that their philosophy of fighting for a lifetime is wrong. This is a more serious consequence than killing them. Therefore, these top music artists would rather die than admit their mistakes and make concessions. This is different from many Internet youths in the new era. Almost, it is impossible to admit that one's parents are wrong, and even would rather jump off a building to save face.
So, once the artistic ideas conflict among the top music artists, they are almost sworn enemies, and those with the same artistic ideas will become best friends.
Unfortunately.
Among the latest generation of music artists, the music artists who appeared in these top music schools in the world have almost no similar artistic ideas with each other, so there are only irreconcilable contradictions left.
Charles and the famous music artists from the three major music schools in New York, Eastman, Juilliard, and Manhattan, have conflicts, and the conflicts have lasted for decades since he was young. To die, the colleges behind it naturally dislike each other!
At this time, Wang Cheng is an absolute competitor in this matter.
Therefore, Charles and Haixi didn't want to meet people from other colleges at all, let alone take the same car to meet Wang Cheng.
"I got one!"
Phipps suddenly let out a cheer.
All three looked at Phipps.
Phipps' cheers came to an abrupt end, and he smiled awkwardly and politely: "I got a ticket for the first row, 700,000..."
Hiss!
Charles, Hessie, and Heidi all gasped at the same time.
That's over a hundred thousand dollars.
Even in North America, which is known as the most developed country in the world, one hundred thousand dollars is a huge sum of money.
They all had to say one thing at this time—art is really expensive.
…
Shen Shenghui also felt the pressure at this time!
After the ticket price for Wang Cheng's solo concert went online, Shen Shenghui felt that his body was getting heavier. He paid attention to the public opinion on the Internet.
Public opinion on the Internet did appear to be unfriendly to Wang Cheng, but not many...
because!
The conflict between Wang Cheng and Rubik's Cube Entertainment was exposed by some caring people and the media. Many people knew that the price of these tickets was not decided by Wang Cheng at all, but by Wang Cheng's agency. Rubik's Cube Entertainment decides...
Therefore, only a very small number of uninformed passers-by saw the price and cursed: "Wang Cheng is crazy about money!"
Most of the other people are targeting Rubik's Cube Entertainment.
"Rubik's Cube Entertainment is crazy about money?"
"Mofang Entertainment sees that Wang Cheng cannot renew his contract, so do you want to squeeze out the value of Wang Cheng in the shortest possible time?"
"Poor Wang Cheng, being manipulated and squeezed by Rubik's Cube Entertainment like this, Wang Cheng, I am willing to help you pay liquidated damages, can you jump out of a new job?"
"Q: When did you know that art is expensive? Answer: When you saw the tickets for Wang Cheng's solo concert!"
"There are more than 200,000 tickets, just ask you, who else in the world sells such expensive tickets?"
"Anyway, I can't cut leeks off my head, no matter if it's 200,000 or 100,000, I can't afford it! There are only 3,000 tickets, so I just don't buy them."
"Is this an exaggeration? You go to the second-hand salted fish website to check. The price of the first row of tickets has been raised to 700,000, and the price of the last row has been fired to 200,000. The scary thing is that some people actually bought it. Fewer and fewer people are selling, and more and more people are buying, there are so many local tyrants in this world.”
"Three thousand tickets can generate hundreds of millions of sales... Just ask you, are you afraid!"
"The number one cash cow in China..."
"Why doesn't Wang Cheng come out and explain?"
"Wang Cheng, have you been kidnapped?"
"I feel that Wang Cheng may have passively accepted the behavior of the brokerage company. Anyway, he sells more, and he also shares more..."
"So, Wang Cheng, hurry up and upload your song, I hope you can make more money!"
"Wang Cheng, upload your piano and guzheng music, I like to listen to it very much."
"Wang Cheng..."
…
Seeing these public opinions, Shen Shenghui felt a little pressure, because the reputation of Rubik's Cube Entertainment seemed to be affected.
However, he also saw that Wang Cheng's reputation was somewhat negatively affected.
that's enough…
Anyway, the brokerage company does not need word of mouth at all, as long as it can guarantee enough resources in the circle, it can stand tall without the support of fans.
Only celebrities, entertainers and public figures like Wang Cheng need the support and word-of-mouth of fans. Once the word-of-mouth personality collapses, this way will be cut off.
If Wang Cheng can be dragged into the abyss together, then Rubik's Cube Entertainment will definitely not be afraid, as long as Wang Cheng can be tied to Rubik's Cube Entertainment in the end, it will be profitable...
It's just that he didn't expect that the concert tickets with such an outrageous price would be sold out in less than a minute.
It can only be said that the value hidden in Wang Cheng is really inestimable.
Chick...
Shen Shenghui's car stopped in front of the dormitory where Wang Cheng lived, interrupting his thoughts. He immediately opened the door and got out of the car. Looking at the chief assistant guarding the dormitory door, he waved him over and asked, " Is Wang Cheng in the dormitory?"
The chief assistant nodded: "Well, in the dormitory! I went out for a run in the morning and came back after breakfast, and I haven't come out of the dormitory."
He didn't tell Shen Shenghui about the appearance of Han Xiao and Lin Mi.
Because of their admiration for Wang Cheng, the three assistants concealed something from Shen Shenghui tacitly in private, wanting to protect Wang Cheng as much as possible.
Shen Shenghui looked at the three assistants carefully, then nodded, said nothing, and looked at the road not far away.
Over there, a few cars drove over and stopped at the apartment building. A figure came down. It was Hu Xiaoshan and Zhao Donghu from the musician program group, as well as Li Guang, and those who rushed over from the capital overnight Zhou Zhe and other people from Yangyin, as well as people from Zheyin, Moyin, and Chuanyin, each student came with two or three people, and one of them could be seen as someone with real power, but when they got off the car, they were very low-key and Shen Shenghui. greet.
Hu Xiaoshan went up to shake hands with Shen Shenghui, and said in a low voice: "Director Shen, if we come here rashly now, will it disturb Wang Cheng? Tomorrow is his personal recital. Is he practicing quietly now? , preparing for tomorrow's concert?"
Beside Zhou Zhe, Han Feng, Li Xiang, Xu Chaohua and others all frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes.
They don't want to disturb Wang Cheng. They are afraid that Wang Cheng will be unhappy, and they are even more afraid of disturbing Wang Cheng's performance tomorrow. If Wang Cheng can't perform in a perfect state and affect the performance, then each of them will be a sinner. .
After all, Wang Cheng's performance on the musician's stage can almost be said to be the highest level and strongest in the Chinese classical music art circle. If Wang Cheng's state is affected, his performance at that time will not be as good as his performance on the musician's stage , many people will be disappointed, and it will even directly affect Wang Cheng's status and reputation in the industry.
People from the program group such as Hu Xiaoshan, as well as Zhou Zhe, Han Feng, Li Xiang and others naturally hope that Wang Cheng can present the most perfect solo concert in the most perfect state, so that everyone can't pick out any flaws , to prove their vision and Wang Cheng's strength and talent.
Xu Chaohua stepped forward and said, "Director Shen, why don't we come to visit after Wang Cheng's solo concert is over tomorrow?"
Shen Shenghui flashed a smile in his eyes...
Affect state?
What you want is to affect the state!
What I wanted was that Wang Cheng made a mistake at the concert.
Shen Shenghui immediately said: "No, I don't think Wang Cheng will mind. You have come to see him sincerely, and he will meet you. Let's go..."
Shen Shenghui went upstairs first.
However, at this time, several cars drove over quickly, causing Shen Shenghui and the others to stop and look over.
Hu Xiaoshan knew that the famous world music school that the program team cooperated with had come!
However, several cars came. The two luxury buses he arranged for the program group had no passengers and only served as a guide. Representatives from other famous music schools in the world each took a car It's coming, so behind the two buses, there is a long line of convoys.
The car stops!
A figure came down.
Hu Xiaoshan, Zhou Zhe, Han Feng, Li Xiang, Xu Chaohua and others looked at a figure getting out of the car, and their pupils froze slightly.
Curtis's vice principal, the world's top pianist Professor Charles.
The vice president of Eastman College, the world's top violinist Professor Wayne!
Professor Harris, the vice president of the Juilliard School and the world's top conductor.
The vice president of Manhattan College, the world's top pianist Professor Vincent...
The vice president of the Berklee College of Music, the world's top pop music composer, and Professor Kaman who has won two Oscars for Best Arrangement.
And several famous European universities, such as Professor Hillman from the Berlin Academy of Music and Art, Professor Leonardo from the Paris Conservatory of Music, and Professor John from the Royal Academy of Music...
Everyone is a top player in the world's classical music art circle, and their status in the international music art circle is crushing any domestic music artist.
Of course, it doesn't mean that they can crush the top domestic music artists in terms of pure musical strength, simply because of their international music art status.
because…
They are all top music artists born and bred in Europe and America, and they have enjoyed the praise of geniuses from many music and art schools in Europe and America since they were young.
but…
At this time, they all came here, they were the same as Zhou Zhe, Han Feng, Li Xiang, Xu Chaohua and others, there was no difference, they all wanted to meet Wang Cheng in advance, to leave an impression on Wang Cheng, and to increase their recruitment. probability.
Zhou Zhe, Han Feng, Li Xiang, Xu Chaohua and others felt tremendous pressure seeing each of these familiar faces.
They all thought that the world's top schools that cooperate with musicians would take action, but they didn't expect that they would act so quickly, and they would directly send such a heavyweight to meet Wang Cheng in person.
This shows that these domestic music academies are very petty!
As the person in charge of the program group, Hu Xiaoshan was also an intermediary, and he quickly stepped forward to shake hands politely with several people, and at the same time introduced to Shen Shenghui and others: "Director Shen, these are the senior management of our program group's partner schools. I also want to come over to see Wang Cheng!"
Shen Shenghui shook hands with Charles and others. He is a person in the entertainment industry and a businessman in essence. He is not familiar with Charles and others, but he also knows that the other party is a representative of a prestigious school, so he did not neglect his attitude.
And Zhou Zhe, Xu Chaohua and others all stepped forward to meet Charles and the others solemnly for a few words, and then it was over without too much conversation.
Because they know that the protagonist here today is not any of them!
so…
When Shen Shenghui went upstairs to meet Wang Cheng, everyone followed suit, but the schools and colleges were clearly separated from each other, and there were some obvious vigilance and precautions against each other.
Charles said to Hai Xi in a low voice: "I think that our coming here today may make Wang Cheng unhappy."
Hai Xi nodded: "Yes, I thought about it too. Wang Cheng will start his own solo recital tomorrow, and he only has one day to prepare. If so many of us disturb him to prepare for the recital, he will definitely not be happy! "
However, they knew this, so they had to come, because they knew that other people would come, and they naturally couldn't lag behind. Even if Wang Cheng would be angry, he would be angry with everyone, and would not remember them alone...
Shen Shenghui walked in front and knocked gently on Wang Cheng's door.
All the people from major music academies outside frowned slightly with puzzled eyes.
because…
Here they are, not hearing the slightest sound of music.
That is to say.
In Wang Cheng's room, there was no sound of any musical instruments.
