It took eight years to debut

Embarrassed a bit!

Jonathan smiled to hide his embarrassment, and stepped forward to stand beside Elizabeth.

The others thought about it for a while, and came over to stand separately, deliberately leaving the most middle position to Wang Qian and Sophie.

Because there are ten people, the middle is an even number.

but……

Diana took the photo herself, and seeing that Wang Qian was not alone in the middle C position, she frowned slightly, then moved the camera, and took only one shoulder of the farthest contestant Ah San, so there were almost nine people, Just left Wang Qian in the middle, with four people on one side and four and a half people on the other side!

Click!

Diana threw it to the staff around her when she finished filming, and said: "Send it immediately, and hype it up."

The staff nodded and took it away.

Diana clapped her hands to everyone: "Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Let's continue to rehearse, the performance will officially start in one hour, and I hope you will give us the most exciting performance."

I heard it was done.

Everyone disperses automatically.

Only Sophie and Nakamori Miyuki did not leave immediately on both sides of Wang Qian, but left quickly after everyone left.

The ten contestants were all very quiet.

Neither spoke to each other...

Wang Qian nodded and smiled at Sophie and Nakamori Miyuki respectively, and then took Qin Xuerong's hand to go back to the lounge to take a good rest.

show……

About to start!

Chapter 424 Only He Can Be Called a Professor!Chinese classical musical instruments going to the world?

The show is about to begin.

The audience entered the scene one after another.

At the same time, the live broadcast signal was also activated, and it was transmitted to the whole world, so that audiences all over the world could see the highlights of the live performance.

Among them, many celebrities, as well as showy audiences, all appeared in front of the camera with various actions to increase their popularity.

Christine did not use this method to increase her popularity and exposure.

She doesn't need it and doesn't like it.

Dressed casually and plainly, she casually walked to her seat in the first row and sat down, but she didn't want to appear on camera, but the camera was looking for her, which is the embodiment of popularity and status.

When she appeared in the camera, many audience members waved to her and called out her name, and many audience members in front of the TV were also pleasantly surprised.

Although Christine is dressed in simple and casual clothes today, she still looks refreshing and amazing. After all, her appearance is really good. Short hair and slightly neutral facial features are really killing both men and women.

Christine didn't bring her agent over today, but came with her good friend Garbo.

Of course, Garbo's tickets were not bought by herself, nor were they given by Christine, but by her current crew. The purpose was to let her appear on the World Championships to increase her exposure, and at the same time, she could be with Christine. Show up, take a wave of Christine's heat.

Originally Garbo wanted to refuse, she didn't want to use Christine to promote herself and the crew.

However, Christine knew it and suggested that she accept it. Such things are very normal in the entertainment industry, so there is no need to be disgusted.

Anyway, Christine had nothing to lose.

So, Garbo also came together.

Because, she really didn't want to miss this performance.

As soon as he sat down, Garbo, who had the same good looks and temperament, also attracted the attention of the audience, as well as the eyes of all the audience in front of the TV. They all thought of this good friend of Christine and became curious.

When everyone started to pay attention to Garbo, the crew's goal was achieved, and the investment of millions of dollars in tickets was worth it.

Jiabao sat down and said with a little regret: "Actually, I should come to last week's performance. God, Wang Qian's three performances are all too wonderful. I couldn't help crying twice in front of the TV. Even better."

After changing his tone, Garbo looked at Christine and said, "Of course, Chris, your two songs are also very good. I downloaded them and listened to them for several days."

Christine glanced at Garbo, leaned on the chair, put her hands on her chest, looked at the stage, and said lightly: "Yes, I know the three songs you listen to every day are Wang Qian's, my song you How many times have you heard it?"

Jia Bao smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "By the way, Christine, Wang Qian will not sing tonight, but will play a piece of Chinese musical instruments. You will definitely surpass him in sales next week."

Christine snorted and said, "It's nothing to win a classical piece of music! Besides, I didn't want to win him in the past. I just want to let me concentrate on thinking about music under his pressure. I Recently, it seems that I have returned to the time when I just started making music a few years ago. I am very focused, very excited, and have more thoughts about music. I like this state very much.”

"As for winning or losing, it doesn't matter to me."

Garbo gave Christine a thumbs up, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Yes, although you lost to Wang Qian, you also broke the record. You sold more than [-] million singles in a week. Of course you can say that the sales volume is right." It doesn't matter to you! Chris... you've always been a big winner."

Christine smiled and stopped arguing with Garbo about this.

From the outside media's point of view, although Christine lost to Wang Qian, he was also the big winner after Wang Qian. His sales continued to set new high records, and his name would also be recorded in the history of pop music. The miraculous sales also brought And came the rich rewards.

If it continues, the media predicts that Christine may become the highest-paid person in the European and American entertainment circles this year, far surpassing those Hollywood superstars who earn tens of millions of dollars for a blockbuster movie.

Christine changed the subject and said: "Actually, I am more looking forward to Professor Wang Qian playing Chinese classical instruments. This is more proof of his strength and musical background. However, most ordinary people who only like to listen to pop music songs do not understand this."

Jia Bao glanced at the back, looked at those middle-aged and elderly people who had an artistic temperament at first sight, and said, "They must understand!"

Christine said with a slightly serious tone: "Garbo. Maybe the piece that Professor Wang Qian played today will lose to the rest of us in terms of sales next week. However, only he can attract music artists from all over the world to watch the performance live , you know what I mean? You can’t think of him as a loser just because his sales are lower next week.”

"In the field of art, the market is not the only determining factor. Most of the artists present at famous music schools will call him Professor, which is a proof of their strength. They will not call Professor Chris, nor Professor Sophie and Adam. , will only call Professor Wang Qian."

Christine also looked very serious, scanning the stage, skipping Jennifer who came down, looking forward to Wang Qian's performance.

Jiabao let out an oh, and decided not to speak.

In fact, she is also a fan of Wang Qian.

Jennifer took the microphone, walked off the stage and began to interact with the celebrities and celebrities in the front row. This is also a link that many audiences like to watch.

Many spectators at the scene also stood up and stretched their heads to watch.

Only many people in a large area in the middle sat upright, looking at everything in front of them indifferently, as if the live interviews and jokes of celebrities and celebrities did not have any appeal to them.

Max from the Juilliard School said lightly: "If I didn't want to see Professor Wang Qian's guzheng performance, I really don't want to sit here for a second, it's too noisy here."

Max looked at the stars in front of the camera vying for the limelight, as if watching a monkey show.

Professor Dawson next to him smiled and said: "I have seen Professor Wang Qian's live performance twice before. His attainments in the field of pop music are amazing. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has been No. 1 in the field of pop music in recent decades. He’s now one album away from establishing himself.”

Hoffman next to him shook his head and said, "It's a pity, if he doesn't spend too much time and energy on pop music. I think he can revive classical music and let the world know what music is."

Dawson said affirmatively: "In fact, Professor Wang Qian has already done it. All the piano pieces he released have set off a wave of listening to piano pieces all over the world. Many young and middle-aged people who were not interested in classical music , are now interested in going to a concert.”

"I think the guys over there who are doing concerts are the best to say. I heard that several of their concerts in New York next month are sold out. This is their best performance in the last ten years. .”

Several middle-aged men over there saw Dawson's gaze, and they all looked over and waved their hands. They all blushed and smiled, obviously in a good mood.

Dawson continued: "However, I think they urgently need to get Professor Wang Qian's authorization. Otherwise, they will not be able to play Professor Wang Qian's repertoire in concerts. Those who want to listen to Professor Wang Qian's piano music will definitely be disappointed! This is also the main purpose of their coming to Los Angeles, but unfortunately, they haven't contacted Professor Wang Qian until now."

Hoffman sighed: "His violin song Liang Zhu gave me a big surprise. Unfortunately, he hasn't announced the general outline yet. However, the current piece is enough for me to study for a while. I hope to go to Huaxia to listen to his lectures next time." When it’s time, you can give me some more surprises.”

Max said: "Huaxia invited me to give Yangyin a class in advance, but I couldn't refuse and agreed. What about you?"

Hoffman smiled bitterly: "Yes, I promised to give them a class after Professor Wang Qian's lecture."

Dawson nodded and said: "Not only Yang Yin, but our Curtis has also agreed to the long-term academic exchange activities between Mo Yin and Zhe Yin. In the future, we will regularly invite a group of their teachers and students to come to our Curtis for study tours every year. For a period of time. We will also send teachers and students to their schools for exchange and study.”

Max frowned: "They also made this request to us, but we haven't agreed yet."

Dawson said softly: "Mr. Max, if you want to put Professor Wang Qian's name in the Juilliard School, it is necessary for you to establish relationships with several colleges in Huaxia."

Max nodded silently, his eyes full of thinking!

He also knew that establishing a long-term exchange relationship with Huaxia's classical music academies would definitely help him build a good relationship with Wang Qian.

but……

He is still hesitating now, is it worth it?

From the perspective of European and American classical music circles, the frequent exchange activities between famous art schools like Curtis and Juilliard with several music academies in China is to lower their own status.

Because, several conservatories in Huaxia hardly provide any help to Juilliard. This kind of exchange relationship is that Julia is unilaterally helping several schools in Huaxia, and Julia is giving unilaterally!

If Wang Qian can't bring them enough returns in the future, then Juilliard School may be hit because of this, and its reputation in the circle of famous North American classical music schools will decline.

Therefore, Max and Juilliard are still waiting to see whether Wang Qian will continue to grow and whether he can bring enough returns to Curtis now, and then Juilliard will make a choice.

However, Max looked at Eastman not far away, as well as Manhattan, and other acquaintances from the world's famous classical music schools, and his eyes were extremely serious.

He worries that when he doesn't act, others will.

At that time, the halo on Wang Qian's body will not be much left, even if Julia wants to act, they will have nothing to gain.

Max is in trouble.

Eyes on the stage.

perhaps……

Tonight, Wang Qian will give him some answers?

There was an expectant look on Max's face, and he said in a low voice: "I have studied Huaxia's guzheng instrument in the past week. It is a very beautiful instrument."

Dawson nodded: "Who says it's not? Huaxia's musical instruments are still very distinctive, and their musical expression is also very clear! We are planning to communicate with several colleges in Huaxia, and we may temporarily open a course in Curtis Huaxia Musical Instruments..."

Max looked at Dawson in shock: "Really? Are you, Curtis, serious?"

Open a Chinese musical instrument subject...

This is a big move that will definitely shake the foundation of the entire European and American music art field.

For a hundred years, in the entire field of European and American classical music art, all music artists will not recognize and practice musical instruments outside of European and American culture, which is their inheritance.

They will belittle the musical instruments from other cultural regions and think they are not worth mentioning, so as to give them a sense of nobility.

This is also the reason why Wang Qian encountered resistance from the entire European and American music and art fields at the beginning!

because……

China has never had a world-class master of music and art recognized by them.

Because Huaxia has its own set of classical music art inheritance!

Most of them are unwilling to see their own music art masters appear in the field of Chinese classical music.

but……

They didn't admit it, and Wang Qian still proved himself on the world stage.

Whether they admit it or not, Wang Qian has also proved himself in the market, and the number of downloads of each piano piece makes artists like them jealous.

Artists also have to eat, so many artists began to recognize Wang Qian.

However, few people recognize the pipa played by Wang Qian.

Not to mention that no school would openly admit that it was studying Chinese classical musical instruments. At most, they would study it in private. Professors would publish some articles in private, but they would be belittled and criticized by many colleagues, causing some quarrels.

Now, Curtis wants to open a Chinese classical musical instrument course, which will definitely cause a shock in the entire European and American music art field. A large number of classical music artists will definitely resist it, including many teachers and students of Curtis Institute. , thinking that this is self-defeating status.

Dawson said solemnly: "We are still discussing for the time being, and the resistance is very strong! But, Mr. Max, classical music has not changed for more than 100 years. Pop music has been constantly improving and changing, so there has always been a large number of market sales. .Our classical music has been holding on to what we have in the past, and we will definitely be eliminated in the end, and finally classical music will gradually disappear.”

"We want the world to re-recognize the art of music, so we need to have something new to interest and surprise everyone, so that we can gradually regain the recognition of the world."

Dawson's idea is obviously considered from the perspective of the market, and he believes that if classical music is to develop and be recognized by the market, it needs to change.

And Max, from the standpoint of a diehard, knew that Dawson's idea would be blocked by many people.

However, if you think about it objectively, for the sake of eating, Max knows that Dawson will definitely have good results if he does this. Maybe it will really make classical artists eat.

What will happen in the end, Max doesn't know.

All of a sudden, several people fell silent.

This time!

The show has officially begun.

Jennifer stood on the stage and said loudly: "Today's performance, we invited a young pianist from the Curtis Institute to play a piano piece for everyone. This piano piece should be familiar to everyone. Professor Qian's work."

"Welcome, Taylor!"

Applause.

A piano rises in the center of the stage.

Taylor came up wearing a long purple dress, and with purple hair, she looked mysterious and noble. Step by step, she came to the piano and sat down, pressing down on the piano keys with both hands.
