Debut After Eight Years

Los Angeles.

Inside the hotel room.

Cui Wenfeng, Zhou Qinghua, He Dongming, He Fulin, Zhao Wei and others gathered together, watching the TV screen, listening to the fierce sound of the pipa like a gold and iron horse!

Several people remained silent, all watching the TV screen with their eyes, pricking up their ears to listen carefully to the sound coming from the TV speakers, and looking at the TV screen, Wang Qian was holding the pipa in his arms, and his fingers were dancing back and forth on the strings of the pipa like elves , everyone has some shock in their eyes, as well as a trace of disobedience!

in their cognition.

It seems that the pipa is played by women.

When most Chinese people think of the pipa, they will have such a picture. A dignified and virtuous woman is wearing a Tang costume, sitting there holding the pipa, her figure swaying gently with the sound of the pipa, extremely beautiful and moving.

Therefore, Zhou Qinghua and He Dongming felt a little bit out of harmony watching the scene of concentrating on playing the pipa on the TV screen at the moment.

but……

Cui Wenfeng, He Fulin, Zhao Wei and other professional musicians can clearly see Wang Qian's superb attainments in the pipa.

They all knew people who could play the pipa, including male professional lute players. Although they are all professional pipa players in the soundtrack field, they seem to be far behind Wang Qian's current level.

And Cui Wenfeng felt that the two professors who taught pipa from the Central Music Department of Folk Music he knew seemed to be not as good as Wang Qian's performance now.

Even through the TV screen, even if they weren't there.

However, they could all feel the gold and iron horse conveyed by the sound of the pipa, as well as the sense of tension and excitement, which made them a little nervous.

They can imagine that those who listened on the spot would feel more clear and exciting.

Cui Wenfeng said regretfully, I would have gone with Wang Qian if I had known.

Zhao Wei and He Fulin were also full of regret and regret.

Cui Wenfeng didn't go because he had to cooperate with the program group's promotional plans in China.

As for Zhao Wei and He Fulin, they saw that Wang Qian was bringing Qin Xuerong and the others. The two big men felt that it was inconvenient to go there, and they felt that Wang Qian was going to give lectures at the world's top classical music school. The band members don't want to add stains to Wang Qian, just wait for Wang Qian to come back at the hotel.

But looking at it now, they think it shouldn't have much impact if they go!

With Wang Qian's strong musical strength and background shown in this class, who would care about playing in a band?

It's a pity that they missed a lesson that is enough to be recorded in the history of world music development!

Also missed a lesson that could have shaped the direction the world was headed.

Zhou Qinghua, as a great director of variety shows in China and a veteran in the entertainment circle, thought of more in his heart, and said in admiration: This time, Wang Qian's status in China will be unshakable by no one.

To be able to promote Chinese traditional culture and music in such a high-profile manner internationally has been recognized by so many people.

This will inevitably cause shocks in the country, and many people will be attracted by Wang Qian and become his fans.

Even Zhou Qinghua thought for a while with his fingernails, and knew that the domestic officials might be more involved in the promotion of Wang Qian in the future, and they might spare no effort.

It doesn't matter whether Wang Qian can win the Voice World Championship in the end!

Just Wang Qian's performance in this class is enough to make domestic official media put aside all thinking and wait-and-see attitudes, and fully promote Wang Qian.

Cui Wenfeng thought for a while and nodded, That's right, he may be the number one person in the domestic music field!

Cui Wenfeng never thought that in the field of music, whether it is pop music or classical music, who else can compare with the current Wang Qian?

Basically, no one left.

He Dongming thought about it for a while, and nodded slightly in approval. He looked at Wang Qian who had finished playing the pipa on the screen, and felt happy for this old classmate in his heart!

buzz buzz...

The phone rang.

Zhou Qinghua picked up the phone and looked at it. Seeing that the call was from China, he quickly connected it: Old Wang, what's the matter?

Lao Wang is a partner of Zhou Qinghua's company, one of the major shareholders of the company, and a big man behind the scenes in the circle. Not many people know him in the circle, but he is one of the real super capitals in the circle. Many people Everyone wants to know him and flatter him.

Lao Wang said softly: You discuss with the program team, edit the video of Wang Qian's class with Curtis, and then send it back to China. This may be broadcast on CCTV.

Joy flashed in Zhou Qinghua's eyes, and he immediately asked, Really? On CCTV?

Old Wang said affirmatively: Of course it is true. I can't lie to you. Besides, I just talked to the leaders of CCTV. This is their request. Although Wang Qian's class was not broadcast live in China, but Many upper-level people are still very concerned, and there are videos about this class everywhere on the Internet. The few pieces Wang Qian played in this class played a very important role in promoting our Chinese culture in the world.

So, CCTV will produce a special program on weekends and broadcast it during prime time.

Zhou Qinghua grinned: That's great, I'll ask the program crew for it, and they will definitely agree.

A fool would not agree.

CCTV broadcasts at the prime time on weekends, which is tantamount to helping The Voice to do a large-scale publicity in China. Fruity benefits.

Old Wang smiled and said, Okay, as soon as possible!

Zhou Qinghua: As soon as it's over, I'll ask for it myself.

Lao Wang hung up the phone.

Zhou Qinghua looked at the phone, then looked at Wang Qian who was calmly enjoying the warm applause at the end of the performance on the TV screen, and said in a low voice, This kid is going to heaven.

Zhou Qinghua knew that after this episode ended, he might have to look up to Wang Qian in the future.

...

At this moment, the discussion about Wang Qian's class in Huaxia has actually never stopped.

Although, ordinary people in Huaxia cannot see the live broadcast of this program.

However, there are still many kind-hearted people posting some video clips about this class on the Internet from various channels, and some self-media are conducting live text broadcasts, which have attracted a lot of people to watch and pay attention!

A Douyue self-media uploaded some videos taken by European and American audiences with mobile phones from YouTube, and selected the essence of them, that is, several videos of Wang Qian's performances, with explanatory text attached.

Professor Wang shocked the entire Europe and the United States at the Curtis Institute, and the number of viewers exceeded 300 million! This is the piano piece, violin piece, and pipa piece that I specially brought here for Professor Wang to perform live in class! Yes Yes, there is another English poem, all the surprises are in it, don’t miss it!”

As a result, this self-media has gained a lot of attention. The number of videos he released quickly exceeded 10 million, and he is still accumulating various data at a high speed.

The number of messages is also in the hundreds of thousands.

Almost all of them exceed the sum of all kinds of data of all the videos that this self-media account has operated in the past one or two years.

Professor Wang is awesome. This is Curtis. The people sitting at the scene are all the world's top music artists and people who understand music. The few familiar faces I saw were all music People who can only be seen in art textbooks. Max and Ma Long are living fossils in the field of piano music art, and Murphy is one of the top ten violinists in the world. This scene is scary enough.

Convince me, the on-site speeding memory, I can memorize the music after listening to it once, and I can copy it perfectly immediately! Professor Wang's talent is simply invincible, but I don't know if he can only memorize music. If other fields can also have super memory like this, then they are truly peerless geniuses who can become the world's top in everything.

The sound quality of this video has been lost several times, but listening to Professor Wang's live performance is still nice and amazing.

My God? This is the ballad that Professor Wang sang. When you are old? Can you write English poetry like this? Many foreigners will cry.

Another new piano piece, Luoshen by the Water, really nice.

The violin is here too? I was dumbfounded when I heard Professor Wang's performance of Liang Zhu. Although the sound quality is definitely far from the live scene, I'm sure that Professor Wang's violin level is definitely world-class. This piece he composed himself Liang Zhu is also very awesome, too sad and desolate.

The foreigners at the scene posed difficult problems to Professor Wang again and again, but Professor Wang solved them all. They slapped people in the face crazily on the spot. It was so cool to watch.

Pipa? Did you make a mistake? I've never seen this instrument, let alone a foreigner.

Wooooow, when Professor Wang's pipa sounds, I want to cry. Although this piece sounds very exciting and not sad at all, I just want to cry, because our folk music has finally sounded in the world. Excited to cry.

Professor Wang has been the god of music in my mind ever since, unmatched!

Does anyone still dare to question Professor Wang's musical talent and strength?

This pipa song makes my scalp tingle, who knows where I can download it?

Wait for Professor Wang to upload it. This is a pipa piece composed by Professor Wang himself. I'll ask you if you agree.

I'm convinced, I compose pipa music on the spot? This is something only God can do.

Is there any more? Keep posting, is there any more?

When will Professor Wang return to Yangyin to give lectures? Am I eligible to attend the lecture?

These foreigners were all shocked by this pipa piece, it's amazing.

...

Regarding the live performance video of Wang Qian's lecture at Curtis, it became popular on Douyue, and quickly occupied the top few broadcast lists and the top few hot topics.

At the same time, it quickly became the hottest topic on Weibo and other social platforms!

A lot of self-media and bloggers started to repost these videos, and at the same time kept up with the rhythm, commenting on Wang Qian's performance in Curtis's lecture, sharing this wave of traffic dividends.

Almost all of Wang Qian's fans were paying attention, and most of the other passers-by were also attracted.

Once everyone has seen it, it is impossible to ignore its content.

because……

Wang Qian is winning glory for the country and the nation.

When I saw Wang Qian playing pipa music on the podium, the shock of everyone on the scene, and the applause that lasted for several minutes after the end, many Chinese people who watched the video were so excited that they wanted to cry, and there was a feeling from the bottom of their hearts A sense of pride and honor, as if they were standing on the podium enjoying the applause.

This is the first time for many ordinary people to feel that Chinese culture has been recognized by high-level foreign art scenes, and many people have a sense of surprise and pride in being recognized.

In the past, the National Art Troupe went abroad to perform many times in order to promote the national culture of the country, but none of them were widely disseminated, and ordinary people did not pay attention to them. There are also performance videos on the domestic Internet, but the number of broadcasts is very small. Didn't get much recognition and likes.

But this time, several of Wang Qian's songs were obviously supported by many European and American artists on the scene, and hundreds of millions of European and American audiences watched the live broadcast, and their influence was unprecedented.

Especially the Butterfly Lovers song with obvious Chinese cultural elements and this pipa song are proper Chinese cultural music, which was recognized by thousands of people at the scene with such warm applause, which is something that most ordinary Chinese people have never witnessed big scene.

Xue Man, who was chatting at home to watch the video, shouted excitedly: Dad, come and watch!

Xue Zhenguo is practicing calligraphy in the study room. What he is practicing is Wang Qian's thin gold style calligraphy, and the content he wrote is also Wang Qian's poems. Among all the works, Xue Zhenguo's favorite one has been written many times, but he still wants to write it.

Seeing that her father didn't respond, Xue Man picked up her phone and ran in, risking being scolded for interrupting her father's calligraphy, and shouted, Dad, stop writing, come and watch Professor Wang's performance in Curtis.

Xue Zhenguo put down the brush with a dark face, his mood for writing had been ruined, he glared at his daughter, and said seriously: Why, how old is it?

Xue Man smiled and said, Dad, look quickly, look at this!

Xue Zhenguo looked at Xue Man's phone screen with a serious face, only to see that it was the video of Wang Qian playing the pipa, and it started from the beginning.

With just a prelude, the tense and exciting melody changed the expression on Xue Zhenguo's face. Looking at the video, he frowned and said, Wang Qian is playing pipa music at Curtis Institute?

Xue Zhenguo's tone was very strange, as if he had seen something very strange.

Curtis Institute is the top classical music academy in Europe and the United States. The musical instruments it focuses on are also European and American classical instruments, such as pianos and violins. I haven't paid attention to Chinese national musical instruments and music.

Most of the audience are also musicians and music lovers from Europe and America.

On this occasion, playing pipa music?

Judging from Xue Zhenguo's habitual consciousness, no matter how you look at it, it is quite contrary.

Are those European and American musicians and audiences willing to listen?

Xue Man's pretty face was full of pride and pride, and she said with a smile: Why? Can't you? Didn't you see that those foreigners were stunned? This pipa piece by Professor Wang is very nice, and it was written by Professor Wang himself. The pipa music, isn’t it amazing?”

A flash of surprise flashed in Xue Zhenguo's eyes, and he quickly put aside the matter of being interrupted by his daughter just now. He fixed his eyes on the video screen, listened carefully to Wang Qian's pipa music, and said in a low voice: And he played the pipa last time. The Guzheng song General Order is a bit similar, it should also be a song about war, the emotional mobilization is more dangerous and exciting, and the rhythm is constantly advancing, as if showing a complete war.

Xue Zhenguo kept listening. Although this video has been passed for several times, the sound quality has been greatly lost, but with his study and background of traditional culture, he can hear more inner artistic conception from the damaged sound quality.

Xue Man said softly: I also think it describes the war, and the melody is very compact and exciting. I didn't expect Professor Wang's pipa performance to be so good. I think that several pipa masters in the National Orchestra may not be as good as him.

Xue Zhenguo immediately glared at his daughter again: Don't speak nonsense. You are not free to comment on those masters, and neither is Professor Wang.

Xue Man whispered aggrievedly: Professor Wang doesn't care about this, it's you...

As a professional critic, she has made many public comments on Wang Qian and his music, which has attracted widespread attention. She knows that Wang Qian will not care about other people's comments on him.

Only those older generations care more!

Xue Zhenguo glared at his daughter seriously again, then continued to listen to the sound of the pipa in the video, and looked at Wang Qian's proficient playing skills while holding the pipa in his arms. Master, Professor Wang is truly an incredible musical genius!

After finishing speaking, Xue Zhenguo stopped.

Because, he thought of Wang Qian's achievements in the field of literature.

Those poems that can be called classics are enough to make all contemporary literati feel ashamed.

Not to mention that an unfinished Romance of the Three Kingdoms has stirred up the entire field of literature and history. Now almost all experts in the field of literature and history in China are digging for historical information of the Three Kingdoms.

Xue Zhenguo suddenly didn't know how to evaluate Wang Qian, and now he just listened to the music in silence.

Hear it all the way to the end!

Looking at the warm applause at the scene, Xue Zhenguo also felt a sense of pride in his heart, which is the pride and pride that his culture is recognized by the world.

Xue Man laughed softly, How about it, Professor Wang is amazing, right? Those European and American musicians stood up and applauded!

Xue Zhenguo nodded: This time, Professor Wang has indeed won glory for the country, which is amazing.

There was a pause.

Xue Zhenguo said again: However, this pipa piece, I guess, may be about the conflict between Chu and Han. It should be about the final battle, the battle where Xiang Yu killed himself in Wujiang!

Xue Man was startled, looked at his father and asked, Dad, have you heard this song before?

Xue Zhenguo shook his head: I haven't heard of it!

Xue Man asked: Then how do you know?

Xue Zhenguo: Didn't I say that? I guessed it. After listening to the song, I guessed it from the artistic conception and picture of the song. Wait until Wang Qian explains this song to see if I guessed it right.

Xue Man: Then we'll have to wait, the few media that carried the video haven't uploaded a new video yet.

Xue Zhenguo clicked on replay again, listened to the pipa piece from the beginning, and said softly: I'll listen to it again!

Xue Man also listened carefully along with his father. At the same time, he compared the information and details of the final battle of the Chu-Han War with the emotional mood in the song, and found that they were very similar. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were consistent. .

Awesome!

Xue Man praised Wang Qian in his heart, which was also admiration to his father, and then used another mobile phone to write on Weibo: Professor Wang, a musician like a god!

...

At Ascendas headquarters.

Wang Jianqiang and Jiang Rong are also together at the moment, paying close attention to Wang Qian's lecture at Curtis Institute!

Their plan to kill Wang Qian is about to enter the stage of closing the net.

And when to close the net depends on when Wang Qian overturns in North America!

Once Wang Qian rolls over, they will immediately mobilize all the public opinion energy accumulated in the early stage, and beat Wang Qian to death with a stick. Qian Jing listens.

Originally, they thought that Wang Qian's class with Curtis would be their greatest opportunity.

Because it is almost impossible for a Chinese pop music singer to be recognized by many European and American classical musicians in a top classical school like Curtis, and no one will believe it!

but……

It's the kind of thing that no one believes.

He just happened.

And it happened under their own eyes.

The two of them climbed over the wall and watched the video clips captured by North American viewers on the TV screen with their cellphones on YouTube, with serious expressions on their faces.

Every time Wang Qian's wonderful performances told them that their preparations were useless.

Jiang Rong said in a low voice: Based on Professor Wang's performance at Curtis Institute this time, he may have a high status in the field of classical music in the world. It will be even more difficult to target him in the future.

Mr. Wang leaned on the boss chair, sighed with an even more ugly look: This is not the most important thing, the last piece of pipa is the most terrible! With this piece, even if he is overturned and eliminated on the international good voice stage in the future, It’s not easy for us to black him with rhythm.”

Jiang Rong was taken aback for a moment, and asked, Why?

Mr. Wang glanced at Jiang Rong: Didn't you see it? This song will greatly promote Chinese folk music internationally, so that people all over the world can understand our Chinese culture through music. What is this?

Jiang Rong's eyes widened in an instant, she was startled, and she understood: This is what the official media has always wanted to do!

Mr. Wang nodded: Yes, it is something that the higher authorities have been working hard on, but the effect has not been great. But now, Wang Qian's pipa song is more effective than the official effort for more than ten or twenty years. What do you say , who will dare to slander Wang Qian in the future? As long as he does not do things that are harmful to nature, then no one will be able to slander him, and the official media will always protect him.”

Mr. Wang's voice became weak, and he was lying on the chair and didn't want to move anymore, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

In order to attack Wang Qian and Qianqian Jingting, they have prepared such a long-term flattery plan...

So many resources were spent in favor of Wang Qian in the early stage, but now it is impossible to continue.

That's tantamount to investing a lot of publicity resources for Wang Qian in vain in the early stage, almost giving Wang Qian a big assist!

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on this, and all of these have been wasted.

The most important thing is that it may be difficult for them to attack Qianqianjingting by attacking Wang Qian in the future, and they can only deal with the competition and rise of Qianqianjingting with purely commercial means.

However, if purely commercial means are useful, how could they go to such lengths to make such a plan?

There was a trace of relaxation in Jiang Rong's eyes, and she said softly, Then, are you going to give up the killing plan?

Mr. Wang nodded: Let's discuss it with other companies. Anyway, I don't think it can go any further. As long as they have a little brain and vision, they can see that there may be no chance to black Wang Qian in the future. This plan will continue. To continue is to waste resources.

Jiang Rong: Okay, I will contact them tomorrow. However, Mr. Wang, I think the Voice International Competition is also an opportunity for us. I have been paying attention to domestic public opinion recently. The songs sung by those contestants are very interesting and they want to download them, but they can only download the works of Wang Qian from Qianqianjing, and there is no place to download the works of other people.”

Can we spend money to buy the copyright of other contestants' performances?

Mr. Wang's eyes lit up: That's right, I've been busy looking for flaws in Wang Qian recently, and I've forgotten about these resources. You should contact the international operations team of Good Voice immediately. The price is not a problem. You must buy an exclusive license.

Jiang Rong: Okay, I'll contact you right away.

Standing up and walking out of Mr. Wang's office, Jiang Rong relaxed a lot. Her mind was still filled with the scene of Wang Qian playing the pipa just now. She was in a very good mood when she thought that she finally didn't have to target Wang Qian.

The scene of so many European and American artists standing up and applauding Wang Qian was played back in his mind, and Jiang Rong's face was also full of pride.

...

Curtis College.

Wang Qian looked at the thousands of palms raised at the scene, and there were still many familiar faces among them.

Marrs, Elton, David, Denzel and others.

As well as Christine and Green!

There are also Taylor and Sophie, whom Wang Qian is very familiar with, etc...

Wang Qian learned the previous lesson and decided to call an acquaintance.

It would definitely not work to call Taylor and Sophie, these two are too familiar.

Myers and Elton?

David, Dazel?

They are all so professional!

Wang Qian looked at Christine and said loudly: The people I talked to just now were all seniors in the field of classical music, so now I will ask a super queen in the field of pop music to stand up and talk, Christine, do you want to talk to me? say what?

Christine, who was raising her hand, heard Wang Qian calling her name, her pretty face was full of surprises, and she froze for a moment.

Many people around looked at Christine, surprised, surprised that Christine also came to listen to Wang Qian's class; regretful, regretted that he was not selected by Wang Qian.

Many viewers in front of the TV noticed that Christine was listening to Wang Qian's class on the spot. They were all curious and surprised by Wang Qian's attractiveness.

Under everyone's gaze.

Christine stood up slowly, the expression on Qiao's face had returned to normal, she took the microphone handed over by the staff, looked at Wang Qian and said seriously: This song is simply incredible, it's the first time I know I have never seen this Chinese national musical instrument that can play such beautiful music.

There was still a hint of aftertaste and amazement in Christine's eyes.

She has always focused on the field of pop music, and is familiar with mainstream musical instruments in Europe and the United States. She really doesn't pay much attention to musical instruments with Chinese names.

She had seen this pipa in an introduction to musical instruments, but she didn't know how to use it, nor did she know how to play such music.

After listening to Christine's words, many people at the scene nodded in sympathy, their faces full of approval.

Anyone with the ability to appreciate music would not be able to say anything bad about Wang Qian's performance just now, and would only be ridiculed by many other artists at the scene.

Wang Qian looked at Christine, smiled and said, Thank you, your music is also very good.

Wang Qian has listened to Christine's album music, and must admit that Christine's country music is very attractive, especially in the current era of rampant electronic music, pop music based on country music can dominate the world music scene , is definitely a genius.

Of course, Kristen also incorporates some electronic pop into her country music, but it's just a foil.

Christine looked at Wang Qian, and began to ask the questions that the scene and many audiences in front of the TV wanted to ask: Mr. Wang Qian, can I ask you a few questions? It may be a little offensive to you.

Wang Qian nodded: Of course, please ask!

The scene returned to silence again. Most people looked at Wang Qian, and some looked at Christine.

Christine asked: Mr. Wang Qian, forgive me for this piece of pipa, I don't know how to pronounce pipa. Did you compose this piece yourself?

Everyone looked closely at Wang Qian.

Looking forward to Wang Qian's answer!

Especially many people with ulterior motives like Nick, they can't wait to swallow Wang Qian with their eyes.

Nick searched for a few famous Chinese pipa tunes on his mobile phone. After listening to them for a while, he knew that the one he played just now was not the same tune as Wang Qian, so he gave up.

Many other people also want to know, did Wang Qian write this beautiful and clear and complete piece of music for Chinese national musical instruments?

Did Wang Qian keep his unprecedented promise?

Wang Qian faced everyone, looked at Christine with calm eyes, and still nodded: Yes, I wrote it. However, it must not be written just now. In fact, I wrote this song five or six years ago. Some prototypes, but it was just a temporary interest at the time, so it was not perfected. When I got the pipa just now, I thought of this piece, so I improvised it again and played it. I don’t know if I perfected it temporarily.

There was silence!

Many people, music artists, look serious and feel a little uncomfortable.

Especially some music creators who focus on composing feel that they seem to be offended.
