Debut After Eight Years

Taylor is almost a completely different person from the last time at the magic sound exchange meeting.

The quiet and artistic atmosphere was much weaker, replaced by an aristocratic atmosphere cultivated since childhood, as well as a kind of self-confidence in the bones that can be swayed freely.

really.

There are no poor people who study art.

Not to mention the rich and powerful, at least the middle class is required to train a professional art student. Children from ordinary families can only have an art hobby at most, and it is impossible to truly study and further study in the field of art, which is too expensive.

Taylor drove the car, took off his sunglasses, and said, I'm usually very low-key. Today, I just dressed up to meet you. How is it? Does it look good?

Wang Qian smiled without saying a word, and looked at Taylor who was driving for a while. From the side, he looked a little amazing, and his purple hair had a sense of mystery.

Qin Xuerong smiled and said: It looks good! It looks much better than the last time at the magic sound exchange meeting.

Taylor said with a smile: You are also very good-looking. Wang Qian is reluctant to take a step away from you, which shows that you are very attractive.

Hearing this, Qin Xuerong leaned on Wang Qian's shoulder, her face was full of happiness: Thank you! Taylor, is your home in Los Angeles?

Taylor nodded: Yes, I grew up in Los Angeles. My parents are in business, my mother is Chinese, and my father is French, so I have half Chinese ancestry.

Qin Xuerong: No wonder you speak Chinese so well.

Taylor: It's okay, not very good. My mother found me a Chinese teacher to teach me since I was a child, saying that I must not forget my mother tongue. I study very hard, so I can communicate with you every day. However, that is It’s just about being able to communicate, and I can’t understand the ones that are too difficult, such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Wang Qian released a few days ago, I can’t understand it, it’s too profound.”

I read the information on Huaxia Network, and the evaluation of this film is very high. There are tens of millions of people who subscribe online. I also paid to subscribe, but I can't understand it. The ancient Chinese dialogue makes me very uncomfortable. !

Wang Qian: Then you can look up the dictionary and read it at the same time. Maybe you can improve your Chinese cultural level.

Taylor: Haha, I did, it was hard! I hope you can publish a vernacular in the future, so I can understand it.

Wang Qian agreed: There will be.

Taylor added: Maybe, you can also translate this book into English. Judging from its popularity in China, maybe it will be very popular in Europe and America as well.

Wang Qian smiled: It depends on whether you have time in the future, not necessarily!

In the world of the previous life, Romance of the Three Kingdoms was also well-known in Europe and the United States, but it was not very popular. Many Europeans and Americans read the translated version and said that the strategy in it was too difficult to understand!

Taylor: However, I can't understand your book. However, I can understand your ancient poems. After all, there are not many words. I can look them up word by word, and I can understand them. They are all very good works. I showed your ancient poems to my mother, and she said you are a literary genius.

Wang Qian: Thank you, Auntie, for your compliment.

Taylor: She also said that next time she has time to invite you to dinner at home, I said you are very busy and don't have time. By the way, my mother still likes your words very much. It will be her birthday in two months, can I ask Will you write me a picture? I want to give it to my mother as a birthday present, and I think she will be very surprised.

She saw your calligraphy video on the Internet, and said that you are a master calligrapher and the number one calligrapher in contemporary China. You are amazing!

This is a compliment.

Wang Qian was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: Thank you, Auntie, for your compliment. If I have time, I will write a picture for you.

Taylor said excitedly: That's great, thank you. After your game is over, I will invite you to my house to play. My mother is very hospitable, especially my friend, who is also a friend of Huaxia. She will welcome you very much.

Wang Qian was even more embarrassed. He was too enthusiastic, but he didn't agree. He just said, We'll see the situation at that time. If you have time, you can go and sit.

Taylor: Then it's settled...

Wang Qian was taken aback for a moment, I haven't decided yet!

Qin Xuerong also blinked and looked at Wang Qian, and then at Taylor. She also felt that Taylor was a little too enthusiastic, and immediately held Wang Qian's hand even harder.

between small talk.

The car came to a Chinese restaurant that Qin Xuerong had reserved in advance. It was not a Chinese restaurant that pretended to be a Chinese restaurant but actually served Chinese fast food. It was a Chinese restaurant that truly served Chinese hometown cuisine. It was also the highest-standard Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles. In the restaurant, people who come here to eat are either rich or expensive. In the Chinese circle, it is a representative of fine hometown cuisine. A meal can range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, which is really unaffordable for ordinary people.

Taylor led the way familiarly, took Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong to a quiet small box on the second floor, invited Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong to sit down, and said enthusiastically: I used to eat here often, and I like Sichuan food. How about you? All kinds of dishes can be prepared here, and the taste is very authentic.”

Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong sat down casually. Both of them are people who have seen the world. One has been a man for two lives and can see everything casually. The other grew up in a rich family and has seen and eaten everything. , naturally don't care about these.

Qin Xuerong picked up the menu and said, Let me order. I am usually in charge of Wang Qian's daily diet. I know exactly what he likes to eat.

Wang Qian nodded, looked at Taylor and said, I heard that you are going to play piano music at Staples tomorrow?

Taylor smiled embarrassedly: Sure enough, you found out. I didn't hide it from you on purpose, but I just wanted to give you a surprise. The program team invited me several times this year, but I refused. They invited me again a few days ago Once I said it, I agreed, and I will play your song Girl's Prayer, and the program group should pay you the copyright fee by then.

For this kind of stage, the copyright fee is definitely not cheap.

Wang Qian didn't care about this, and asked softly, How many concerts have you held in North America?

The program team invited Taylor to perform so enthusiastically. Wang Qian guessed that Taylor must have accumulated a lot of fame in North America recently.

Taylor said with a little pride: Five shows! I have been preparing since the magic sound returned to North America. After two months of preparation, I tried to hold a show, mainly playing a few of your songs, and the response was very good. Everyone I like your songs very much. Then, I played three consecutive shows in New York and two in Los Angeles, all of which were very successful.

Wang Qian has not paid attention to the news in the field of classical music recently, and Taylor has not informed him of this news, so he does not know.

Taylor continued: The performances in North America are temporarily over. I will officially start the world tour next month. The first stop is to go to Huaxia for five performances, two in Shanghai, two in Beijing, and one in Yangcheng. Then I will go to Ten performances in Europe, and finally return to North America for three performances, it's over!

This is only a preliminary plan. If there is a strong response in the middle, it is possible to temporarily add one or two games in some places.

Taylor briefly finished his plans for a world tour.

Although the words were simple, her tone was full of excitement, and there was a trace of expectation in her eyes, looking forward to Wang Qian's praise.

In front of Wang Qian, she did not show any pride, even if this kind of achievement is already very successful among young pianists.

Because she knew that her piano level was in front of Wang Qian, and she had no capital to be proud of.

Wang Qian clapped his hands lightly and said in admiration, Amazing!

Taylor smiled contentedly: Thank you for the compliment. In fact, if you are willing to perform in public, you will be more recognized than me! Although my performance has been praised by many people, it has also been rated as North American by several authoritative classical music media. The first young pianist. But I know that I am not as good as you. My teacher also said that I am still far behind you.

Taylor looked at Wang Qian and said seriously: If you want! You can come as a guest performer in my fifteen performances in China and Europe, and you can play any song you want. I will let the organizer Help you promote...

Taylor really wanted to help Wang Qian so that Wang Qian's piano skills could get more recognition.

She and He Chaohui have similar ideas, and don't want Wang Qian's piano and classical music talents to be buried.

She knows her own level, even if she has good talent, which is regarded as the top in the world, she still cannot afford the title of the first young pianist. It is more because of the bonus points brought by Wang Qian's few piano pieces. After all, everyone has already listened to it. I am used to those familiar pieces, and I will be pleasantly surprised by the sudden appearance of a few new, extremely pleasant, and extremely high-level piano pieces, and will naturally give more recognition.

if……

Wang Qianneng can concentrate on developing in the field of piano.

She believes that Wang Qian can get more recognition faster.

perhaps……

In a few years, he might become a world-class piano master.

Because, she knew that Wang Qian himself had such strength.

A person who has the strength of a world-class pianist is willing to remain unknown for so many years.

Taylor felt it was a pity that this was a loss to her and to the world of piano.

Before Wang Qian could speak, Qin Xuerong, who had ordered the dishes, handed the menu to Taylor and said with a smile: Wang Qian has his own ideas. I never give him advice, I only cooperate with him. Thank you for your concern for Wang Qian , but he has a lot of other things to do right now and probably doesn't have time to go to so many of your shows.

Wang Qian looked at Taylor, and said, That's right, Xue Rong is right. I've been too busy recently, and I may not have time to go on tour with you. Your performance in Huaxia, at most, I can be in Magic City. Guest, I may not be able to go any more, thank you for your kindness.

After the Good Voice competition, Wang Qian has to rectify Xuehong Entertainment when he goes back. This is an imminent matter. Xuehong Entertainment has just changed hands, and the internal struggle is very fierce. There are a lot of things waiting for him, the boss, to deal with. If it takes too long, it may completely rot.

In addition, the establishment of Haidilao Catering Company also needs to formulate a development strategy, which also cannot be delayed. Now is the golden development period of Haidilao, so it cannot be delayed either.

I also have to prepare for the release of my new album...

There is still the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to be completed, and then there is the matter of publishing...

I also agreed to the lectures given by Yangyin and Beijing University...

Wang Qian felt that he would be very busy for a long time.

It's just out of control.

Where's the time to go on Taylor's tour?

and……

to be honest.

Nor will he take advantage of Taylor's enthusiasm to accumulate fame in the piano field.

He really wants to develop the piano, and he will only rely on himself.

Taylor smiled unnaturally to hide his embarrassment, took the menu and bowed his head to order, and continued: Okay then.

Taylor's eyes flickered with thought, and he quickly understood why Qin Xuerong had such a good relationship with Wang Qian!

because……

Qin Xuerong will only cooperate with Wang Qian.

You, maybe you are too strong?

Taylor quickly adjusted his mentality, looked at Qin Xuerong, remembered the few dishes Qin Xuerong ordered on the menu, ordered two more, and asked the waiter to take the menu away.

The food came quickly.

Taylor is indeed a regular customer here. The chef and manager of the restaurant even came to chat with Taylor. They didn't know Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong, so they just greeted him politely.

Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong didn't eat too much. Although the taste was really good, and it was not bad compared to the authentic chefs in China, when the two came to North America, their appetites became very mediocre.

After dinner.

Taylor said: Why don't you stay at my house tonight? I live in Los Angeles alone, and there are a lot of rooms in my house. It's no problem for you to come over. Tomorrow, I will go to the performance venue with you to get acquainted.

Wang Qian immediately shook his head: Forget it, let's go back, some friends in the program group will worry about us. Besides, my mentor is here today, I have to go back and talk to him.

Taylor: That's a pity. It was a pleasure to eat and chat with you today, and I want to chat with you more.

Qin Xuerong smiled politely: Thank you for your hospitality. I didn't expect to be able to eat such authentic hometown food in North America. When I come to Los Angeles in the future, I can eat here.

Taylor: Then you must call me when you come, I'll treat you!

The three of them walked downstairs as they talked, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

After getting in the car, Taylor drove again to the hotel where Wang Qian lived.

Once again, it was photographed by many paparazzi reporters squatting at the entrance of the hotel.

However, Taylor still couldn't be photographed driving, only Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong who got out of the car were photographed and quickly ran back to the hotel, refusing any interviews!

Taylor watched the two of them go back to the hotel, and started the car directly to go back. He looked calm and held the steering wheel tightly with his hands. His hands turned white because of too much force. Then he sighed deeply and murmured in a low voice, Why do I Why don't you go to Magic Sound's exchange meeting sooner? When I met him at Magic Sound, they hadn't been together for long! If I had gone half a month earlier, he might still be single...

What am I going to do now?

Taylor thought quickly.

The shadow of Wang Qian is all over his mind.

She wanted to snatch Wang Qian over.

But, meet again.

She knows it's hard.

Qin Xuerong is also very good, her appearance is not inferior to her, and her musical talent is naturally not as good as her, but she is obedient to Wang Qian and can help Wang Qian with things, this is something she can't do, she has her own Ideal and career, and will stick to it.

Moreover, she could see that Wang Qian was also a determined person, and it was difficult for her to scoop him over.

Take a deep breath!

Tyler calmed himself down and continued driving home.

...

Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong rushed into the hotel from among a bunch of paparazzi, feeling like they had fought a battle.

Wang Qian, you just came to Los Angeles, instead of taking a good rest and practicing, you went out to play instead, did you not think about playing well?

Wang Qian, you brought your girlfriend to participate in the competition, are you still thinking about singing in the competition?

Wang Qian, I heard that you are playing big names and cursing people at the performance, is that true?

Wang Qian...

Every gossip question made Wang Qian want to laugh.

Remaining silent, he walked into the hotel under the protection of several security guards, then quickly entered the elevator and entered his own floor.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Zhou Qinghua, He Dongming, and Cui Wenfeng who were still carrying suitcases walking not far away.

Obviously, Cui Wenfeng just arrived!

Seeing Wang Qian, Cui Wenfeng came over and hugged Wang Qian lightly, and said, How are you getting ready? Seeing that you are still in the mood to go out for dinner, it's very relaxing!

Wang Qian said with a smile: There is really no pressure!

Cui Wenfeng patted Wang Qian on the shoulder: Although, I don't know where your confidence comes from. However, I will definitely support you, no matter what results you get in the end, I will support you. I also hope that no matter what you end up with Wherever you go, you must maintain a good attitude, you still have a long way to go, don't worry about temporary success or failure.

Wang Qian: Thank you, I know.

He knew that Cui Wenfeng was giving him a vaccination to prepare himself for failure and elimination.

Just after learning about the newly added competition system, Cui Wenfeng's little fantasy of winning the championship was completely shattered.

In Los Angeles, under the circumstances of this competition system, it is really impossible for Asian players to win the championship.

Even if European players want to beat local North American players to win the championship, it is extremely difficult!

Only North American player Adam has the most advantage, and the competition system is almost all towards him.

Home court advantage is terrifying.

Zhou Qinghua was listening to something on the phone, looking a little excited, and sent Cui Wenfeng into the room together, then put down the phone and said excitedly: Wang Qian, good news!

Everyone looked at Zhou Qinghua curiously.

Wang Qian asked, Director Zhou, what's the good news? Jonathan has retired?

Jonathan is Wang Qian's first opponent in an official competition and the annual champion of The Voice of Germany.

Hearing what Wang Qian said, everyone laughed, and then felt that maybe Wang Qian was under too much pressure?

Otherwise, how could there be any idea of ​​wanting the opponent to retire?

Therefore, the smiles of Cui Wenfeng and He Dongming disappeared immediately.

Zhou Qinghua also immediately said: Of course not. The attention of this kind of world-class competition is unprecedented. Which idiot will retire? Even if you fail in the first round, it will increase a lot of exposure. It's about tomorrow's opening performance Yes, the program team contacted me and sent you an invitation, and I personally suggest you accept it.

invite?

He Dongming asked strangely: Wang Qian is a contestant himself, and he is the fourth performer, so he still needs an invitation?

Zhou Qinghua: It's an extra performance, an extra invitation, so the program team needs to ask for your personal opinion.

Add an extra show?

He Dongming: Do all the players have an extra game? Or is it just Wang Qian?

Zhou Qinghua: Only Wang Qian has it! They want to invite Wang Qian to give another piano performance after the opening performance of Taylor. Because your piano pieces are very popular in North America, and Taylor's performance has aroused interest in the field of piano music and the entire classical music field. field. Therefore, they want to invite you to a piano performance to attract more topics and attention.”

I personally recommend that you accept that one more show is a huge opportunity to increase exposure and attract the support of local audiences.

Piano performance?

Several people were taken aback!

Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong looked at each other, thinking of Taylor just now.

I just chatted with Taylor about the piano during dinner, but as soon as I came back, I received an invitation to play the piano from the program group?

Wang Qian asked: Why didn't they invite earlier? Now there is only one day before the performance, and I still have to practice songs for the performance! Is the time given to me too tight?

Zhou Qinghua shook his head: I don't know, I asked our people in the operation team. He said, it seems that it is because there have been a lot of discussions about you in the field of classical piano recently. The music magazine ranked the top few of the best songs this year, so they suddenly made a temporary decision and wanted you to come to a piano performance to improve the level of our program.

There are two piano performances, so it's classy?

Apparently, compared to pop music, piano performance is a higher art field.

This year, Good Voice has become popular all over the world, and it can be said to be a great success in the field of pop music.

So, they are not satisfied, but also want to get attention and recognition in the field of classical music?

Wang Qian thought for a while, and then nodded in the expectant eyes of several people and said, Okay, then I agree. However, I will decide what piece to play!

Zhou Qinghua waved his hand: Okay, I'll reply to them right away.

As Zhou Qinghua said, he picked up the phone and made a call, and said to the other side: Wang Qian agreed, but he will decide what to play.

The other side replied: Okay, no problem! Let him prepare well, we will arrange the time right after Taylor's performance. Don't be pressured, anyway, it is the opening performance, and it will not be included in the score.

Zhou Qinghua looked at Wang Qian and replied seriously: Okay.

hang up the phone.

Several people looked at Wang Qian.

Cui Wenfeng asked curiously: What piece will be played tomorrow night? I like your Magic City March the most. It is very deep and has a heavy sense of history.

Wang Qian thought for a while and said, I don't want to continue playing the few pieces I have played. Let's play a new piece tomorrow!

The room fell silent for an instant.

Several people stared at Wang Qian with wide eyes.

Even Qin Xuerong blinked his big eyes and looked at Wang Qian.

Want to make sure, is Wang Qian joking?

Tomorrow is such an important occasion, it can be said to attract the attention of the world, and the world will pay attention to it. Hundreds of countries around the world will broadcast the live broadcast, with at least one billion viewers, and there may even be billions of viewers watching the live broadcast of the performance. New pieces played?

What if the performance is messed up?

Even if the performance is not bad, what if it is not recognized by everyone?

Why not play pieces that have been widely recognized before?

They believe that with Wang Qian's master-level performance level, playing successful pieces will definitely win everyone's approval.

Cui Wenfeng considered his tone and said, Wang Qian, this occasion is too important, should we be more cautious?

Wang Qian nodded: Yes, it is because I want to be more prudent, so I will play a new song, and everyone will be more surprised, which will increase the odds of winning the next competition and accumulate popularity!

All right……

That said, it seems reasonable.

But……

The stakes are a little high.

Qin Xuerong immediately supported Wang Qian: I believe Wang Qian can definitely do it!

Cui Wenfeng, Zhou Qinghua, and He Dongming naturally couldn't oppose Wang Qian here, they were neither qualified nor dared to.

Fear disturbed Wang Qian's emotions.

Emotions are very important in this kind of performance!

He Dongming said with a smile: It's okay, seeing how confident Wang Qian is, it's definitely not bad! Let's just wait and see. However, time is so tight, you have to prepare well.

Wang Qian was full of confidence: Don't worry, I know how to do it.

Both Cui Wenfeng and Zhou Qinghua patted Wang Qian on the shoulder to express their support.

At this time, everyone can only choose to believe in Wang Qian.

Several people chatted for a few more words, and then went to their respective rooms. Except for Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong, the other three felt a little heavy.

back to the room.

Wang Qian thought about it, called Jiang Yu and Murong Yue, and asked them to come over!

The piano piece he wants to play requires the cooperation of other instruments, so that there will be a live effect, just like a large concert.

But……

He couldn't find anyone to help him at the moment.

Unlike in China, he only needs a phone call, and the magic sound Yangyin Zheyin will help him as much as possible, asking for someone to give, asking for an instrument to give an instrument, absolutely nothing!

But……

This is North America, this is Los Angeles.

Foreign country.

Except Jiang Yu and Murong Yue.

He has no one to call...

Zhao Wei and He Fulin are not suitable.
