Chapter 299 297. What musical instrument to play? random!
In the era of mobile information, it has really been achieved. Give me a mobile phone, and I can give you back a world!
There is almost no information that cannot be found...
Several anchors are live broadcasting at the entrance of the theater, and the number of viewers in each live broadcast room is quite large. There are even live broadcast rooms with more than one million online users, which exceeds the number of live online live broadcasts of the top super anchors. The barrage is also extremely active.
And when many music artists from top European and American colleges and universities who came here by the hotel's assigned car appeared, the audience in many live broadcast rooms quickly found out the information of these people, and everyone was extremely shocked. The information was posted on the barrage, so that everyone could see it clearly.
Several hosts of the hot live broadcast naturally saw it quickly, or found out the information of these people, and introduced them excitedly.
"Family, the identities of these foreigners may be unusual. The one in front is Howard, the dean of the Curtis Institute of Music, and the one next to him is Charles, the deputy dean. The one with the highest grid is the world's top three violinist Claude, The one in the checkered suit is the top ten piano master Scott in the world, and these are some of the most powerful people in the Curtis Institute."
"Family, do you know the Curtis Institute of Music? This academy is one of the most powerful music academies in North America. It ranks among the top three music and art schools in the world all the year round. I didn't expect that they could all come. Watching Wang Cheng's solo concert live, the cards are definitely full..."
"Wait...Family, I just found out about other people, and the other people next to me are not easy-going! Dean Evans of the Juilliard School, and the world's number one conductor Han Do you know about the Juilliard School? It is one of the most powerful music schools in New York. It ranks on par with Curtis in the world. It is one of the top schools in the world..."
"And...it's not over yet, that's Eastman Principal Muller, one of the world's best pianists, he was already the best pianist thirty years ago...Eastman College, New York's best pianist One of the most powerful conservatories, and Juilliard, Curtis has been fighting in the first few years all the year round."
"Yes, I just wanted to say that there is also a Manhattan Academy, and this one comes after this. This is the dean of the Manhattan Academy, Jeffrey, who is also one of the most powerful pianists in the world! There is a saying One, the piano is called the king of musical instruments, it is absolutely true, many top music artists in the world are pianists."
…
"My family, and the one behind is the principal of the Berlin Academy of Music and Art..."
"Also, those are all from the Paris Conservatory of Music, including the principal, the vice-principal..."
"And the awesome characters from the Royal Academy of Music..."
…
Each of the anchors introduced these principals and masters from various top music academies in Europe and America with some excitement and exaggeration.
Such a scene, let alone many viewers watching the live broadcast in China, has never seen it, even if they look around the world, no one has seen it.
After all, there has never been a performance by any one person that can attract so many principals and top universities from top prestigious schools...
Because any top music artist in the world has been famous for many years, and they have become famous step by step. The growth path is clearly visible. Great attraction!
so…
Only Wang Cheng, a super genius who suddenly appeared beyond their imagination, could attract so many of them and gather them together.
All kinds of anchors from the media, as well as the serious media are frantically taking photos of the principals of the world's top music schools and reposting them on major social platforms. At the same time, some official media quickly posted them on the international network , but it has not attracted the attention of foreign media and the public for a while.
After these top foreign music artists entered, representatives from Yangyin, Zheyin, Moyin, Chuanyin and other domestic music academies appeared one by one.
However, their appearance did not cause much sensation, they just surprised everyone and then calmed down.
because…
After all, I have just seen the appearance of top international music artists, so it is only natural that top domestic music artists appear.
Moreover, in the habitual thinking of most people, it is natural to feel that the music artists of those famous international schools are better than the artists of domestic music schools...
"Sure enough, musicians from domestic English schools have also arrived. Wang Cheng's attractiveness, regardless of national boundaries and races, is awesome."
"Is this the first time that China has attracted so many domestic and foreign music artists? Wang Cheng is amazing."
"By the way, is Wang Cheng's music art really so attractive?"
"Anyone who knows a little bit about the art of music will not have such doubts. Wang Cheng used three different instruments and played four brand new works, and each performance is a classic, which is amazing okay?"
"Oh, will Wang Cheng's solo concert be broadcast live today? I think I'll watch it."
"Don't think about it, you can't live broadcast. The anchor asked the platform to oversee it last night. Rubik's Cube Entertainment did not authorize any party to broadcast live."
"It would be great if it could be broadcast live..."
"Others spent two to three hundred thousand to go in and watch the show, why should we watch it live for free?"
"Art, it costs money, guys..."
…
Howard, Charles, Claude, Scott, Hessie, Heidi, Phipps and others all walked into the theater steadily. Looking at the scene that was almost full, they turned their heads and glanced at the others. The old people of the school, in this foreign country, they have less hostility to each other, they nodded and smiled at each other, and then went to their places!
Howard, Charles, Claude, and Scott walked to the first row.
This is the first row of tickets that Phipps and Heidi snatched up from second-hand websites after squatting all day. Of course, they can only be used by the two deans and the two super masters of the college. Haixi, Haixi Di, the three of Phipps are sitting in the middle area of the fifth row!
Phipps whispered to Hai Xi: "Professor, remember to reimburse me for the ticket money when you go back. The first-row ticket I grabbed last night is worth 150,000 US dollars! I asked Heidi to borrow it." It’s only paid for in full…”
Heidi had an elegant smile on her face, but she complained in a low voice: "If my father knew that I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy only one concert ticket, he would definitely drive me out of the house. This is really true. It was too expensive, and I really regret it now. If there is a refund, I really want to refund the ticket and go back to North America immediately."
“I don’t want to watch the concert of a nineteen-year-old boy who doesn’t respect music, even if he showed his best talent and strength before!”
Heidi is still brooding over Wang Cheng's attitude yesterday.
Howard, who was walking in front of Heidi, looked back at Heidi. The principal of Curtis said, "Heidi, don't worry, the college will reimburse all your expenses. If he really doesn't respect music, Then no matter how talented he is, we will not invite him to join the academy!"
Heidi smiled and said, "You made a wise decision, Mr. Howard!"
Claude said seriously: "But the violin music he played is really great."
Howard said grandly: "Then buy his copyright!"
Claude nodded, and then they separated, Howard and the four walked to the first row, and the three of Haixi walked to the middle area!
After sitting down in the first row, Howard asked in a low voice: "Is everything Heidi said true?"
The three of Howard arrived in Shanghai in the middle of the night last night. As soon as they returned to the hotel, they quickly went to bed and rested. They only met Heidi and the others in the morning, and then Heidi crazily complained to the three of Howard about going to see Wang Cheng yesterday.
Howard was born in a family of music and art. He has been a well-known music artist since his grandfather, and he also studied under a top music and art master in history. After that, every generation has top music artists. They all have profound backgrounds and connections, and they have made a lot of achievements in serving as the dean of Curtis College for more than ten years!
So, Howard is serious and serious about the art of music in his bones, and he simply allows people who have to respect the art of music to enter the academy.
If you don’t respect the art of music, no matter how talented and powerful you are, it’s impossible to give full play to it, let alone achieve too much.
Charles looked at the empty stage and nodded to Howard: "What Heidi said is true. Many of us went to the apartment dormitory where Wang Cheng lives yesterday. He lives in the dormitory of an entertainment company. The room is very small , is a single room. However, there is no musical instrument in his room, and there is no information or writings of any music artist."
"He was writing Chinese calligraphy at the time. Judging from the room where he lived, it was completely impossible to see that he understood classical music. His attitude was also extremely indifferent and arrogant, and he didn't bother to pay attention to anyone, nor did he bother to explain to anyone. We So many people went to visit him, and even sent an invitation to him in the name of the academy, he didn't reply to anyone, just let us leave..."
Howard, Claude, and Scott frowned slightly, their eyes flickering.
Claude asked: "Is he really only nineteen years old?"
Charles nodded: "Of course, I checked his detailed information. He is really only nineteen years old, and he comes from a simple background, without any classical music heritage, and has never studied music professionally. He is just an ordinary student who took the Huaxia college entrance examination , the results of the college entrance examination are not bad, but he gave up going to college and signed a contract with an entertainment company to become a trainee."
"This year he made his debut on variety shows as a trainee, and he became very popular as soon as he debuted. He showed very powerful dance skills and talents, and created a new dance form by himself. He also showed extremely top-notch singing skills and Talent, and extremely powerful pop music creation strength and talent..."
"Then, in just half a year, he went from a rookie to the hottest star singer in China's entertainment circle! All the pop music works he released are very popular, and the sales volume continues to break the Chinese pop music chart." Music sales records. I found that among his works, the highest-selling song has exceeded 260 million, and it took only two months. This is even scarier than the hottest talented newcomer over there. !"
Listening to Charles' detailed introduction, Howard, Claude, and Scott were all stunned, as if they were listening to a fairy tale!
A nineteen-year-old boy who has no orthodox study of music, debuted in the entertainment circle as a trainee, and became the hottest star as soon as he debuted. His popular works broke the sales record in China!
Then…
Now he has created amazing piano and violin pieces, showing the world's top performance level!
this…
Several people looked at each other, and they all saw the questioning look in each other's eyes.
Charles knew what the three of them were thinking when he saw the actions of the three, and said with a wry smile: "Gentlemen, what I said is true. Of course, I understand your doubts. Because when I found out these news, I also thought that It's fake, I checked for more information, and asked Haixi and the others to find out more information through the TV station in Modu."
"The information I found surprised me even more! Because...Wang Cheng is the most popular literary author in China right now, yes, he is a literary author. He created two ancient prose works, which shocked the entire Chinese literary world, and he also wrote one Good calligraphy..."
"I heard nonsense from the producer of the program group that music is not a necessity for Wang Cheng, but just a hobby in life. I didn't believe it at first, but after I found out this information, I believed it!"
"Mr. Howard, Wang Cheng does not respect classical music, because classical music is really just one of his hobbies, not all of him."
Howard was a little speechless, but he couldn't accept it. Looking at Claude and Scott, both of them obviously couldn't accept it.
They have struggled for the art of classical music all their lives...
Not as good as a nineteen-year-old boy's hobby?
They all carefully recalled Wang Cheng's performance on the musicians they saw in the video. Just watching the video, they are no worse than their peak days, but the video is a bit distorted. If Wang Cheng performed live, it would definitely be better than the video. Okay, so Wang Cheng's real strength level should be higher than them!
And they can be said to be the top music artists in the world now, they are all at the top levels in their respective fields, and others of the same level as them are also about the same.
Such a calculation...
Wang Cheng may be number one in the world today in terms of piano and violin performance, if he pays attention to the state of strength purely and objectively!
Several people fell silent, which obviously required a lot of courage and time to digest what they thought.
However, after a few seconds of silence, Howard said softly: "However, it is a pity that he disrespects music art so much and wastes his talent in music art."
Charles nodded and said: "It's a pity. I heard that several music academies in Huaxia have offered him very high conditions and wanted to invite him to join. But he rejected them all. He didn't even want to see these Huaxia music schools. Someone from a music school. It can be seen that he may really not be interested in developing classical music!"
Howard nodded: "That's a pity. In this case, let's treat it as a tourist. There is no need to see him anymore!"
Although Wang Cheng's talent and strength were beyond his imagination, he really wanted to invite Wang Cheng to Curtis Institute.
However, since Wang Cheng disrespected the art of music so much and rejected the invitation of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music again and again, Howard didn't bother to meet Wang Cheng and invited him on behalf of Curtis.
because…
Once he came forward in person to extend the invitation on behalf of Curtis, the significance would be extraordinary. Once Wang Cheng rejected it, it would be a big blow to the reputation of him and Curtis College.
so!
Howard decided in his heart that after watching Wang Cheng's concert, no matter what, he would go back to North America immediately and never see Wang Cheng again.
Charles agreed: "I think so too! I think they should think so too. We can see his concert together, which is already a big face for him."
Charles glanced at the principals of other colleges not far away, and knew that they would definitely be similar to his side...
After all, they are all old enemies who have known each other for decades, and they are old opponents, and they all know what the other party will do.
In the field of classical music and art, face and reputation are more important than anything else.
He believes that other people will not risk their own and the reputation of the academy in public!
Howard said regretfully again: "What a pity. I never thought that such an amazing genius would appear in a desert of music and art like China!"
Charles nodded and said: "Yes, no one would have thought of that! I think we should deepen our cooperation with the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, tap more Chinese music talents, and increase our business in the Huaxia region! Wang Cheng's performance Yes, $60-70 million in ticket sales..."
$60-70 million...
Hearing this number, the eyes of Howard, Claude, and Scott all widened a lot.
Howard took a deep breath to calm himself down, and said: "That really should deepen the cooperation..."
It's all money!
At this time.
In the background, Shen Shenghui, Li Guang, Hu Xiaoshan and others were waiting for Wang Cheng.
Looking at the time, there are still ten minutes left to start.
Hu Xiaoshan, who has little to do with it, but the producer who graduated from Magic Sound, was the most anxious. He paced back and forth and said, "The time is up soon, why hasn't Wang Cheng arrived yet?"
As Wang Cheng's agent, Shen Shenghui was the calmest, and replied helplessly: "I called Wang Cheng's assistant just now, and they have already left!"
Li Guang asked curiously: "What instrument is Wang Cheng going to play today?"
Shen Shenghui smiled bitterly, and replied: "I don't know..."
"have no idea?"
Hu Xiaoshan and Li Guang exclaimed at the same time, staring at Shen Shenghui with wide eyes.
Hu Xiaoshan immediately asked: "Director Shen, what do you mean? What don't you know? The concert is about to begin, and there are top music artists from various top music academies in the world sitting outside, as well as the best domestic music artists! You actually said that you don’t know what instrument to play?”
Li Guang looked around and saw a lot of musical instruments piled up here, almost common and uncommon, he frowned and said: "Director Shen, this matter must not be careless. If Wang Cheng's performance will be messed up , but it would be embarrassing to throw it internationally! Our country's classical music art has always been suppressed and looked down upon by foreign countries. If Wang Cheng is still ashamed internationally this time, it will be even more difficult for our classical music to develop..."
What Li Guang said was exactly what Hu Xiaoshan was most worried about.
Shen Shenghui looked helpless, but a smile flashed in his eyes—this was the result he wanted to see, but he still said helplessly: "I called Wang Cheng, but he didn't answer. I asked my assistant to ask him, to prepare What musical instrument, guess what Wang Cheng said?"
Hu Xiaoshan asked anxiously: "What did Wang Cheng say? Piano? Guzheng, violin? Both are fine!"
In Hu Xiaoshan's opinion, Wang Cheng's piano, violin, and guzheng are all top-notch in the world. It would not be shameful to play any of these instruments.
but…
Shen Shenghui still said helplessly: "Wang Cheng returned to say, feel free!"
Random?
Forehead…
The two were speechless.
However, the two of them thought about it a little more carefully.
This seems to be Wang Cheng's style...
It looks like he doesn't care about anything.
But…
Why is this random?
When the two were silent, Shen Shenghui pointed to the row of various musical instruments and said: "So, I asked someone to bring all the common and uncommon musical instruments. When the time comes, what Wang Cheng wants to play will be played by myself." That's it."
Hu Xiaoshan and Li Guang looked at the densely packed musical instruments, and fell silent again.
Piano, violin, guzheng, the three instruments that Wang Cheng played, are indeed there.
but…
There are many other instruments at the same time.
Flute, xiao, pipa, erhu, suona... and other domestic traditional musical instruments that they all know are among them!
And some instruments they didn't recognize...
this…
They have nothing to say.
But Shen Shenghui said to a few staff members not far away at this time: "Come here, a few people, move all these instruments out, put them on the stage, and put them in order. Don't break them."
Hu Xiaoshan was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Director Shen, what are you doing?"
Shen Shenghui explained: "It's all on the stage. It's convenient for Wang Cheng to take it when he's going to perform. What kind of instrument he wants to play, he can get it on the stage directly, and he doesn't have to go backstage to move it around. How convenient?"
Hu Xiaoshan's eyes widened: "But, but... but... this, no one has done this before?"
Personal music recital, where is this done?
What do you think street art?
Eighteen kinds of weapons are displayed?
Hu Xiaoshan and Li Guangyi were speechless for a while. They could roughly see that Shen Shenghui seemed to be deliberately creating difficulties for Wang Cheng.
because…
Normal people can't do such a thing.
And when several staff members carefully moved the musical instruments out, exclamations and lively discussions immediately rang out from the scene outside.
obviously…
Many music artists and music lovers at the scene saw such a personal concert for the first time!
