Chapter 262 261. Because we are a group of geniuses! You will feel a sense of accomplishment only when you defeat the strongest! (Please subscribe)
Nice!
This is the most intuitive auditory experience of all people.
The combination of several musical instruments and the faint singing voice is very beautiful and a real treat for the ears.
nice!
This is a visual enjoyment felt by the eyes.
The several seated and two standing women on the stage were all people who had watched the scene countless times without getting bored. Now that they were gathered together, many people couldn't bear to look away and just stared at the scene on the stage! Many viewers in front of the TV watched the TV screen without blinking, fearing that if they blinked, they would miss a second.
Sounds good!
It looks good! Many people feel a sense of excitement and anticipation.
The other players in the locker room all felt tremendous pressure.
Taylor, who was the first to perform, gave an extremely perfect performance, but the other contestants did not feel any much pressure yet.
After all, Taylor is not a competitor to them. Even if she performs well, she will only be there for this one performance and will not appear again, and will not steal their popularity and limelight.
But.
The Wang Qian who appears now is different.
Wang Qian is a competitor on the same stage with them and is the champion from China. It can be said that he is in direct competition with each of them.
And now Wang Qianxian and his team are performing on stage, and they are doing so well.
They were scheduled to perform after Wang Qian, so they naturally had more and heavier pressure! Two of them felt the greatest pressure.
One is Adam who will appear after Wang Qian finishes his piano performance.
Adam is the most popular among the ten contestants in the world. In the official voting for The Voice of China, he received more than 20,000 votes, far exceeding the number of votes for other contestants. So being the first to perform is in itself a first-mover advantage, giving him the advantage of being one step ahead and leading at every step.
But!
At this moment, he really wanted to give up this first-mover advantage!
He didn't want to go on stage right after Wang Qian's piano performance.
Such a perfect performance that is both beautiful to listen to and look at will definitely raise the expectations and vision of the audience at the scene and in front of the TV to a higher level.
If Adam's subsequent performance didn't do as well, everyone would definitely be disappointed!
Everyone can understand this kind of psychological gap, and at that time they may think that Adam's performance is very ordinary.
This is the same reason why ordinary small stars don’t want to appear behind super stars, and don’t want their own light to be overshadowed by the big stars in front of them.
Eric and Winston were both staring at the TV screen and listening to the music carefully. For a moment, the lounge was very dull!
Winston was enjoying the music performance carefully, and was very surprised. He didn't stare at those attractive faces, but showed a thoughtful look. He was thinking about the changes and arrangement of the song, as well as the coordination of various instruments and voices. He felt that there were too many things to explore, which also showed the amazing musical talent of this Chinese player! Winston turned his head to look at Adam and said with a little seriousness: "Adam, what do you think of this song?"
Adam looked serious and whispered, "Great!"
Adam told it like it was.
He is a typical ordinary person who likes pop music, so he doesn't feel anything about those slightly dull and lengthy classical pieces. On the contrary, he likes this bright, sad and heavy pop piano piece played by Wang Qian very much, because his ears can enjoy the pleasant feeling of listening to it immediately.
Eric's eyes flickered as he said in a deep voice, "It's just a piano piece. It doesn't mean anything. Moreover, it's obvious that this piece of music doesn't have a high artistic value. It's too popular. It probably won't be recognized by the classical music community."
Eric obviously has some musical literacy and can see the characteristics of Wang Qian's song at a glance. It is a very obvious popular piano style.
Winston nodded. "Yes. His piece may not be recognized by the classical piano community. However, it is loved by many ordinary audiences. The reason is simple. It sounds good. The performers are also very good-looking. The performance is wonderful!"
"You will be on stage soon. You need to keep calm and perform at your best so that you can compete with his performance."
Winston cheers Adam on.
Adam nodded, took a few deep breaths, calmed himself, and continued to brew the emotional mood of the song in his mind.
What he is going to sing today is an adapted old song, a classic old song that was very popular twenty years ago. It was adapted into a modern style by Winston's team, adding many modern music elements to enhance the stage style. It is also very suitable for Adam's singing style.
…
Except Adam.
Another person who is under more pressure than Adam is Jonathan, a German player who will be Wang Qian's opponent in the first round.
Jonathan looked at the TV screen with a slightly pale face, his mind was blank, and he was just listening to the music.
Although his musical talent is not very high, it is far superior to ordinary people. He can clearly know that Wang Qian's song will definitely be a great success.
Then, all the doubts about his previous involvement in the hype will basically be shattered.
His questioning remarks will also become ridiculous.
He got onto the stage relying on his strong musical ability!
So play it.
So nice to listen to.
How could the program crew not give us a chance?
Jonathan felt on pins and needles and had an urge to escape Los Angeles.
After all, he is still a new player who has just entered the industry and is not a veteran in the circle, so after being slapped in the face, he still feels embarrassed and doesn't want to face it.
If he is a veteran, he will not care about these embarrassments at all. Instead, he may continue to use this attention to increase his popularity.
A middle-aged man next to Jonathan saw that he looked unhappy and said to comfort him: "It's okay, we just need to continue to perform well. What happened before is in the past. Let's not mention it again, okay? Don't say anything in front of the media in the future, just keep silent."
"You still have a chance to gain everyone's recognition with your own strength! You are the champion of Germany's Voice of China. You eliminated more than a dozen contestants to get here. You are very strong! You are not weaker than Wang Qian. Besides, this is Los Angeles. He has no audience base here."
The middle-aged man's comfort worked!
Jonathan's face looked a little better.
exactly.
At this time, the performance on TV was coming to an end.
He watched Wang Qian concentrate on playing the piano, his hands nimbly jumping back and forth on the keys, playing pleasant notes one after another, and he was very envious, but at the same time he also felt a huge pressure in his heart! At this moment.
He truly felt the tremendous pressure brought by Wang Qian's amazing musical talent.
It made him feel that he and the other party were not on the same level at all.
He thought back to his previous ridicule and doubts about Wang Qian, and realized that it was all wishful thinking on his part, and was very childish and ridiculous.
After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and deleted all the remarks he had previously posted on the social platform that mocked Wang Qian and questioned the inside story. He did not say anything, just remained silent, and continued to listen to the last part of the performance, adjusting his state, waiting for his time to go on stage.
He remembered what Wang Qian had just said to him!
Please prove yourself on the stage with music.
…
Jennifer stood at the backstage entrance. She did not leave to rest, but stood here and listened closely to the performance of Wang Qian and others on the stage, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.
She is different from others.
Many other people were staring at Taylor, Sophie and others on the stage.
And her eyes never left Wang Qian.
When Wang Qian plays the piano, he has a unique charm and a confidence that comes from the depths of his soul.
His casual attitude while playing pleasant music made even a host like her, who supervised the top handsome men in Europe and America, be attracted by Wang Qian for a moment!
Even though Wang Qian is not the type of handsome European or American man she likes.
However, the charm condensed by his talent and temperament has surpassed the aesthetic barriers of different races, and she couldn't help but be attracted and think that Wang Qian is really handsome at this moment!
This piece of music maintains a brisk rhythm until the very end, so the ending seems very abrupt.
Because the fast-paced and pleasant music is still continuing, as if it is still reaching its climax and it is not time to end yet.
But it ended suddenly! Everyone was immersed in the pleasant and lively rhythm.
Wang Qian's hands suddenly left the piano keys.
Sophie, Taylor, Qianyu Zhenzhu, Jiang Yu, who were playing the violin and cello, and Murong Yue, who was playing the drums, all stopped playing their instruments at the same time.
Miyuki Nakamori and Chen Xiaowen, who were standing next to Wang Qian, also quieted down.
music!
Come to an abrupt stop.
The more than 20,000 people at the scene were unable to react at once.
Almost all of them, like Jennifer, were still enjoying the music and looking at the people on the stage who were attracting them.
But suddenly, the music stopped and the scene became quiet! The silence lasted for more than ten seconds.
Everyone then reacted.
Jennifer walked onto the stage and looked at the extremely quiet audience, whose eyes were still fixed on the stage as if they were in a daze. She was amazed.
There is a live performance with this kind of performance effect.
She had seen him only a few times.
And all of them are performances by world-class masters.
It is rare for a performer as young as Wang Qian to achieve this effect.
It was the first time she had seen it! However, at the performances of those masters, everyone was just giving face, not really having any surprises! Now, Wang Qian obviously brought everyone a surprise.
but.
She saw that Kristen, Green, and some other big stars had quickly woken up and were looking at the stage with thoughtful and nostalgic expressions.
Jennifer faced everyone with a smile on her face and began by clapping her hands gently.
Then!
The quiet scene began to boil as if a frying pan was filled with water.
Everyone seemed to be suddenly awakened by Jennifer's applause.
What followed was thunderous applause.
The world-class stars and celebrities in the front row all clapped vigorously with excitement on their faces.
and!
Several big-name stars took the lead in standing up and applauding, including Kristen and several other world-class Hollywood stars.
Then, everyone else stood up as well.
After a while, more than 20,000 people in the audience stood up together.
The audience of more than 20,000 people stood up and applauded wildly.
The applause seemed to blow the roof off the Staples Center.
The many cameras on the scene were too busy to keep up, frantically capturing the expressions of some big-name stars and wealthy people, while also simultaneously broadcasting live the performance of Wang Qian, Taylor, Sophie and others on the stage.
Wang Qian stood up from the stool and walked to the front with Miyuki Nakamori and Chen Xiaowen.
Then, Taylor, Sophie, Qianyu Zhenzhu, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and others put down their instruments, stood up and faced everyone in the audience together with Wang Qian.
The applause became even louder.
Jennifer stood beside the protagonist Wang Qian and clapped with everyone with a smile on her face.
The applause lasted for nearly a minute, longer than the applause for Taylor just now.
The applause gradually died down and everyone sat down.
Everyone's eyes were still fixed on Wang Qian, Taylor, and Sophie on the stage.
They all knew that this scene might become one of the most classic live performances in the entire Voice of China World Competition. Even if the next ten contestants had many wonderful performances, they could not completely overshadow this performance.
Jennifer handed the microphone to Wang Qian: "Wang Qian, how long have you practiced this piece? As far as I know, you didn't know Sophie and the others before, and you just worked together temporarily, right?"
Everyone looked at Wang Qian curiously, waiting for his answer.
After all, this collaboration is simply too attractive.
We won’t mention Chiba Mao, Nakamori Miyuki, and Chen Xiaowen, as they are not very well-known in Europe and the United States.
However, the fact that Taylor and Sophie can get together is definitely something that surprises many people in the European and American music fields.
One of them is a young generation of talented pianists from North America, and the other is a young generation of talented pianists from Europe. They are in absolute competition with each other, and it is very difficult for them to get together! Now that they can get together to perform, it is absolutely a rare thing, and the effect of the performance also surprised them.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Facing hundreds of big-name stars from all over the world and Hollywood superstars, Wang Qian was not at all nervous. He smiled calmly and replied, "In fact, the program team only notified me yesterday afternoon that they wanted to invite me to play the piano at the opening. I wanted to refuse at the time, but accepted the invitation at the suggestion of my friend."
"Then, I started looking for people I knew and was familiar with to accompany me. However, this is North America, and I only know a few people. Fortunately, Taylor, Sophie and others agreed to help me, and I am very grateful to them."
"So, we actually only practiced for one morning, five or six times in total, and rehearsed twice more in the afternoon before the performance, and then we went on stage."
There was total silence! Many people who knew music stared with their eyes wide open, looking unbelieving.
Even Christine looked at Wang Qian in surprise.
Although she focused on pop music, she also knew a lot about classical instruments. She knew that such a wonderful collaboration could not be achieved in a short period of time. It took a long time of practice to find the tacit understanding and to achieve the desired effect! However, she could hear that Wang Qian, Sophie, and Taylor were in perfect coordination, not worse than those orchestras that practiced together for many years.
This state definitely requires a long period of practice to achieve.
How could they achieve this after only practicing five or six times in one morning?
Sharon, who was beside Kristen, whispered, "He might have lied!"
Kristine stared at Wang Qian's eyes and expression, shook her head gently, and said, "He is not a liar, it should be true!"
Sharon was surprised and said, "But, this is impossible!"
Kristen: "You think it's impossible, but you just think, maybe they can do it?"
Sharon stopped talking, remaining silent, her eyes fixed on the stage.
Jennifer was also shocked for two seconds before she asked, "Is this true? You only practiced five or six times? And then rehearsed twice before you went on stage to perform?"
Wang Qian immediately responded: "Of course it's true, we only have so much time."
Jennifer handed the microphone to Taylor and asked, "Taylor, is what Wang Qian said true? Did you really only practice together five or six times before performing on stage?"
Taylor remained expressionless and replied softly, "It's true. We won't lie. I really like this song, so I was very focused when I practiced it!"
Jennifer asked Sophie again, "Sophie, do you like this song too?"
Sophie smiled: "Of course, in fact, I like several of Wang Qian's piano pieces very much. He is a very good pianist and piano composer. We did practice for only half a day, and the time proposed by the program team was too hasty. However, I have to say that working with Wang Qian was a very pleasant experience."
Jennifer asked curiously, "Why?"
Many people at the scene looked at Sophie, then at Taylor, and then at Wang Qian.
These two, one is the top young pianist in North America, and the other is a young talented pianist in Europe, both seem to admire Wang Qian very much? Sophie's smile was so pure that it made many people dizzy.
Sophie replied: "Because, when you work with Wang Qian, you will discover his surprising musical talent. I came to North America to participate in the competition this time because I wanted to perform on the same stage with Wang Qian and meet him. Otherwise, I would have wanted to withdraw from the competition. I am not very interested in this competition."
"And now I have the opportunity to work with Wang Qian from the beginning, and he has not let me down, he is great."
Good boy! He's awesome.
Sophie's direct answer made the scene boil.
In particular, many people who were conquered by Sophie's performance just now couldn't help but cheer excitedly.
The genius European pianist, the French Rose, fell in love with a Chinese man?
Why did he do that? When a pair of eyes looked at Wang Qian, they all had some hostility.
Jennifer didn't expect Sophie to give such an answer. It was obvious that this was not the effect the program team wanted.
The Paris champion publicly said that he did not want to participate in the competition. Isn’t this a question to the program team?
Jennifer immediately stopped asking Sophie and asked Wang Qian, "Wang Qian, why do you think you were able to perform such a wonderful show in such a short time?"
Wang Qian heard some of the comments and unfriendly looks from the audience, but he still replied calmly, "Maybe it's because we are all geniuses! When a group of geniuses come together, it will be easy for them to do anything in their own areas of expertise."
Jennifer was speechless! What happened to the Chinese people who were supposed to be modest and low-key?
Your answer is too immodest and too low-key.
Many people at the scene were also silenced by Wang Qian's answer. They were obviously surprised by Wang Qian's answer, which did not fit the image of Chinese people in their minds.
Jennifer smiled stiffly, and then said, "Then I am looking forward to your subsequent performances. Because, not only you, Sophie, and Miyuki Nakamori are geniuses, but the other seven contestants are also geniuses! Each of them is a regional champion of a country, and they are all talented contestants."
"Well, thank you Wang Qian and Taylor, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, Maou Chiba, as well as Chen Xiaowen, Jiang Yu, and Murong Yue for your performances! This stage will remember your performances."
Jennifer began to see the guests off.
Wang Qian, Sophie, Taylor and everyone else bowed gently to the audience again, then turned and left.
Wang Qian did not leave first, but extended his hand to invite Taylor and Sophie to go first.
Originally, Taylor was walking in front.
However, Sophie quickened her pace, caught up with Taylor, and left the stage side by side with Taylor.
Then there are two players from the island country, Mao Chiba and Miyuki Nakamori.
Finally, there are two of Wang Qian’s team members, Jiang Yu and Murong Yue, as well as Wang Qian’s good friend Chen Xiaowen.
Wang Qian left last!
And the audience applauded again to see them off.
The group left the stage amid applause.
As Chen Xiaowen walked to the exit, Wang Qian just happened to see Adam walking over from a distance and preparing to go on stage!
Adam was wearing a black tights that showed off his figure, cool leather shoes on his feet, and his hairstyle was specially done with some inconspicuous embellishments. If he stood under the light, there would be a good visual effect, and there was obvious makeup on his face.
Winston and Eric came over with Adam.
Wang Qian did not leave with Chen Xiaowen. He waved to Chen Xiaowen, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and others, signaling them to go first. He stayed here and looked at Adam who was walking over.
Adam's eyes did not leave Wang Qian. He had an expressionless face and full of momentum. He quickened his pace and walked towards him.
The two seemed to be about to have a showdown. The atmosphere was very tense, and it seemed as if they would fight as soon as they met.
However, when Adam came in front of Wang Qian, a smile appeared on his serious face, and he stretched out his hand and said, "The performance just now was really wonderful."
Wang Qian also reached out his hand and shook Adam's, then let go and said with a smile: "It's OK, because we were in such a rush, it didn't achieve the effect I wanted. Your look is very cool!"
Adam laughed and said, “For the sake of the performance, I have to do this!”
Wang Qian: "I'm looking forward to your performance. Come on."
Adam: "Thank you. I look forward to your next performance too."
The two chatted casually, as if they were friends.
However, Eric and Winston both knew that if possible, Adam would like to knock Wang Qian down with one punch to relieve the huge pressure in his heart! On the stage, Jennifer has begun to warm up for Adam's first performance.
Adam finished chatting with Wang Qian and waved, "I'm going to play now."
Wang Qian waved his hand: "Come on!"
As Adam turned and walked toward the stage and stood next to Eric and Winston, he whispered, "He's a nice guy. If it weren't for the competition, I think I would be friends with him."
Eric said softly, "Don't think about it, Adam. Show your best and conquer the audience with your singing."
Adam's face returned to seriousness, he adjusted his clothes and hairstyle again, and then walked out.
…
Wang Qian watched Adam walk towards the stage, then turned around and walked back to his room.
He could feel the tremendous pressure Adam was under, the tension in his heart, and even a hint of hostility towards him.
He could understand Adam's thoughts and state, so he chatted with him for a few words, hoping to ease his nervousness and allow him to perform better on stage!
He didn't think of gaining an advantage because of Adam's performance mistake. Even if he won, it would be unfair. Adam and many North American audiences would be dissatisfied, and he himself would not be happy.
So! Wang Qian sincerely hopes that Adam can show his best condition and the best singing level, and achieve the performance effect he wants on the stage.
so.
He went up again and defeated his opponent.
This is the only way to feel the greatest sense of accomplishment, and to make your opponent speechless and convinced of your defeat.
Thinking in my heart.
When Wang Qian passed by a passage, a slender snow-white hand stretched out from it, grabbed Wang Qian's arm and pulled him over.
Wang Qian could have refused, but when he saw Taylor's face in the dim light, he let him be pulled in.
This hidden passage has no lights, no cameras, and no one will pay attention to it.
Taylor was still wearing the dress she had worn on the stage, exuding a mysterious and girlish aura. She stared at Wang Qian with her watery eyes. After pulling Wang Qian over, she didn't say a word, but threw herself into Wang Qian's arms, raised her head, and bit Wang Qian's lips.
Green.
But, very exciting.
Very hard too.
This is typical of a newbie.
Wang Qian was experienced and quickly took the initiative.
Taylor's breathing was rapid, and he cooperated with great effort and panic.
One minute later.
Wang Qian gently pushed Taylor, who was about to suffocate, away and asked softly, "What do you want to do?"
Taylor softened in Wang Qian's arms, took a few deep breaths to calm his excitement, and whispered hurriedly, "I want to do anything, do you dare?"
Wang Qian was slightly surprised: "Now? Here?"
He didn't expect Taylor to be so bold and direct! Taylor raised his head slightly, his eyes full of determination and courage, staring at Wang Qian, and said without giving in: "If you dare, I am willing!"
Wang Qian looked around.
There was no one in this dim corridor, but outside was a row of lounges filled with The Voice contestants waiting to go on stage. Not far away was the entrance to the performance stage, and one could clearly hear the voices of the audience outside, as well as the chatter between hosts Jennifer and Adam.
All of a sudden, Wang Qian's heart began to move.
