Among them, there are many world-renowned violinists, including Denzel who just lent Wang Qian's violin to play, as well as several other top violinists, and even one of the world's top ten violinists. Exist, Murphy!

Wang Qian looked at everyone who raised their hands, and his eyes fell on Denzel. Let this acquaintance get up, and immediately stretched out his hand to Denzel and said, "Mr. Denzel, what do you want to say?"

Denzel got up and said with a little excitement: "Mr. Wang Qian, if I want to play this piece at my next concert, will you allow me?"

Many violinists at the scene looked at Wang Qian eagerly, hoping that Wang Qian would agree.

Many violinists among them have failed to hold concerts in the past two years, and now they are struggling to survive. They urgently need success to make money to support their families. Some of them have gone to training institutions to become violin teachers in order to make a living.

If you can successfully hold concerts and live a decent life as an artist, who would like to become a teacher in a training institution?

They all believed that if they could add this piece by Wang Qian to their recital, they would definitely be successful.

Therefore, these violinists who raised their hands actually wanted to ask Denzel this question, and they all wanted Wang Qian's permission to play this piece in their concerts.

Among them, Murphy, one of the top ten violinists, was also included.

Wang Qian looked at Denzel and many pitiful eyes, smiled and said: "Of course, but I need to wait until I return to China to play this piece completely, and then I will release the score and score of this piece. Everyone You can use it for commercial performances without my permission, you just need to pay me a usage fee after the performance.”

Wang Qian's voice paused for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a small fee, I believe everyone can afford it."

Denzel laughed: "Of course, it should."

Copyright awareness in Europe and the United States is very strong, and the legal protection of copyright is extremely comprehensive and harsh, so everyone is used to paying copyright fees.

As long as it is a reasonable fee, no one will refuse.

No artist would feel that this is an insult to art.

Money itself is part of art.

After speaking, Denzel sat down.

Wang Qian thought that after answering this question, everyone would be quiet.

Then he can give a good explanation of the Luoshen by the water and the violin song Liang Zhu that he played just now, and the class can end after the lecture.

After all, the time for this class is not short.

When he comes up, he will play new pieces and then explain new pieces, which can be said to be full of dry goods.

but……

There are still a few people raising their hands at the scene!

It is clear.

this class.

It was impossible for him to give lectures and end up according to his plan.

Here are top artists from all over the world, even if not all top artists, at least half of them have come here. Everyone has their own ideas and demands, and even some so-called art lovers in society come with special purposes.

Therefore, I want these people to listen to his lectures quietly.

almost impossible.

It's hard even for college students, let alone them.

Wang Qian calmly looked at these people who were still raising their hands, and there were a few familiar faces among them.

There was Christine who surprised him, and the one in the corner who couldn't see clearly, but who had big breasts seemed to be Green.

Mars and Elton from Manhattan College who interacted with Wang Qian at the beginning also raised their hands.

There were also some other people, seemingly sparse, but they were all over the audience, there were dozens of them.

Wang Qian was quite used to this. He immediately stopped his lecture plan and looked at the people who raised their hands. He skipped over the eager-eyed Christine and Green, and then settled on a middle-aged man behind him. He waved his hand casually and said, "Sir, stand up and talk about your thoughts."

He didn't pick the man in the front row who raised his hand.

Because, he knew that the more people in the front row, the higher their status in the field of music and art, and the more profound and difficult to answer the questions asked to him.

Just like the master violinist David's question just now, it was difficult for him to answer clearly, so he used a violin piece, Liang Zhu, to answer, which satisfied David.

He didn't want to encounter the problems of a top music artist like David again.

So, just choose a music and art lover in the back row, that is, people from other fields of society.

Perhaps the questions they asked would be easier to answer.

Everyone followed Wang Qian's hand and looked at it curiously.

The middle-aged man in a suit stood up and said to Wang Qian with a little respect: "Hello, Mr. Wang Qian, my name is Nick."

Wang Qian: "Hello, Nick, what do you want to say to me?"

The middle-aged man sitting next to Nick said: "Pipa, choose the pipa! This is a very unpopular Chinese musical instrument. Last time he played the guzheng at the Shanghai Music Academy. The standard is very high. It is not inferior to the piano. We will not choose it Guzheng. It is impossible for him to be proficient in other unpopular Chinese musical instruments. If you ask him to play a piece of Chinese folk music, he will choose pipa."

"He is a Chinese, and he should play a Chinese national musical instrument here, otherwise he is not worthy of being a Chinese musician. If you stimulate him like this, he will feel very uncomfortable..."

Nick listened to what the man beside him said, then looked at Wang Qian and said softly: "Mr. Wang Qian, you are a musician from China. I really like the Liang Zhu violin piece you played just now. I am fascinated by the Chinese cultural elements in it. I also like the General Huaxia Guzheng you played at the Shanghai Music Academy, and I downloaded it and listened to it many times. It’s a pity that I don’t know how to play this instrument.”

"I think, you are standing on the stage of Curtis Institute, facing audiences all over the world, should you use your Chinese national musical instruments to play a representative piece of music?"

"Of course, I think all the musicians present have heard the song General Order. Everyone should want to hear you play other songs, using different instruments, so that we can better appreciate the diverse and wonderful Chinese culture. national culture."

After Nick finished speaking with the microphone, he looked at Wang Qian calmly.

The middle-aged man sitting next to Nick gave a thumbs up: "Nick, you are awesome. He can't refuse you when you say that. However, he can't use the guzheng to play general orders. I'll see how he responds."

Almost everyone at the scene looked at Nick in surprise.

Because what Nick said was too good.

It was almost impossible for Wang Qian to refuse.

Just start by saying, you are a musician from China...

Then you use Chinese national musical instruments to play music that represents Chinese culture, isn't it too much?

Do not agree?

Then you will embarrass Huaxia, and it will also embarrass you to find a Huaxia person for you!

promise to come down?

The risk is extremely high!

Nick said it directly, hoping to hear songs other than General Order.

Many music artists, when researching Wang Qian's identity information before coming here, have listened to Wang Qian's guzheng song General Order, and they are very sure that the standard and artistry of this song has definitely reached the level of a classic famous song. The rich Chinese elements made them very novel and liked.

This is definitely Wang Qian's representative work in Chinese folk music, and it is enough to be played here, and it can also represent the characteristics of Chinese culture!

However, if Wang Qian agreed, he would not be able to play this piece.

choose another?

Then, here comes the trap!

Many other people at the scene didn't think so much.

However, Nick and the middle-aged man beside him were all looking forward to Wang Qian's answer.

No matter how Wang Qian answered.

They can all make it difficult for Wang Qian to end!

Playing general orders?

Then you are exhausted.

Not playing general orders?

Play other famous songs?

Then you broke your promise, and the pretense failed.

Because, as Wang Qian said earlier, he doesn't play other people's music.

The piano piece Pirate Rhapsody played earlier is to prove the talent and strength, and it can still be said.

Now you want to play a piece that represents cultural characteristics, which is a formal performance. You don’t want to find an excuse to play someone else’s piece, do you?

Nick and others have room to maneuver.

If Wang Qian does not play the general's order, he will abide by what he has said and not play other people's famous songs.

That's good!

Let's play a new Chinese-style song composed by yourself...

Moreover, it is necessary to play with Chinese national musical instruments!

The difficulty of this...

Definitely very big.

Neither of Nick believed that Wang Qian still had folk music in stock that could represent the characteristics of Chinese national culture.

They know that national musical instruments are relatively small in China, and the piano is still the mainstream musical instrument in China!

Wang Qian composed so many piano pieces, but there was only one piece of general order folk music, so we knew that Wang Qian probably wasn't that focused on folk music.

So, Wang Qian seems to have only refused?

It’s back to the beginning—if you refuse, then you don’t deserve to be a Chinese musician!

A smile overflowed from the corner of Nick's mouth, and he stared straight at Wang Qian.

Many people at the scene looked at Nick and found that they didn't know him. Nick is not a celebrity in the field of music and art, but just a social person, so everyone naturally doesn't know him.

Afterwards, everyone looked at Wang Qian.

See how Wang Qian answered!

Many people don't know the plan of the two Nicks, but they just feel that it is a bit embarrassing for Wang Qian.

Moreover, many people are also looking forward to Wang Qian's performance!

After all, a piece of violin music with obvious Chinese cultural elements just now amazed everyone.

Everyone has become interested in and looking forward to the elements of Chinese culture.

If Wang Qian could use Chinese national musical instruments to play a piece of Chinese cultural style, he would definitely have a different feeling!

Wang Qian looked at Nick, feeling slightly regretful about choosing this person.

He looked at Nick's eyes and knew that this guy had definitely come prepared. He spoke politely, but his eyes were full of seriousness.

Many other people didn't notice the trap in Nick's words, and they instinctively didn't remember Wang Qian's promise not to play other people's music!

After all, this kind of commitment is not made by any top musician in the world.

Therefore, everyone naturally did not pay too much attention, and all paid attention to the music itself.

However, it is impossible for Wang Qian himself to forget his own flag.

If you don't play the general order, then you have to play a new folk music piece!

Looking at Nick, Wang Qian calmed down and asked calmly, "Oh? Then what do you want to hear?"

Nick's smile widened even wider.

The middle-aged man beside him also kept saying: "Pipa or Erhu, these two are optional! They are very unpopular Chinese national musical instruments. I don't believe that he can play at a high level."

Without any hesitation, Nick said directly to Wang Qian: "I know that Mr. Wang Qian's guzheng is of a very high level. Then, Mr. Wang Qian's pipa is also good, right? I don't think there is much difference between these two instruments. I hope to listen to Wang Qian's guzheng. Mr. Qian played a pipa. This instrument is also very representative of Chinese cultural elements."

Many people at the scene started talking in low voices.

"Pipa, what instrument is it?"

"It seems to be a Chinese national musical instrument similar to a guitar. I have seen it, but I have never heard it."

"Pipa, as I know, is a very small national musical instrument in China. Very few people can play it. Only teachers from a few conservatories can play it. There are very few students who learn this instrument. I think Mr. Wang Qian Probably won't play either."

"Or just play the Guzheng song General Order. I've heard it once and it's very nice. It would be great if I could listen to Mr. Wang Qian play it live."

"The pipa looks like a guitar, but its playing skills are not like that of a guitar at all. It is very similar to a cello, but its pitch is much higher than that of a cello. It is very difficult to play, and there are very few famous pipa songs in China."

"You may have forgotten that Mr. Wang Qian said that he can't play other people's music, he can only play his own music! How can he play without his own pipa music?"

Many people heard this sentence, and the scene was instantly quiet.

Only then did everyone remember Wang Qian's flag!

He doesn't play other people's tunes!
