Chapter 265 264. At this moment, the whole world is focusing on you! (Subscribe)

Although Taylor was a guest for only one performance and not a contestant, he also had his own temporary lounge.

However, Taylor did not bring any agent or assistant with him. He came alone. Together with his mentor Dawson who had just come over from the audience, there were only two people in the room!

Taylor had no expression on his face as he watched Adam leave the stage. He just said softly, "Adam is at best a singer, not a musician!"

Dawson, who was sitting closest to the TV, also said calmly, "You have too high an opinion of musicians. In fact, in the eyes of ordinary people, Adam is also a very good musician. To sing a song well, you need a very high level of musical literacy. The most basic things like pitch and rhythm are not something that ordinary people can master."

Dawson looked at Taylor and continued, "You can't use Wang Qian's standards to demand every musician! If you do that, there will be very few musicians left in the world."

When mentioning Wang Qian, Taylor's eyes flashed with pride. Thinking of his boldness just now, he didn't regret it at all, only a little expectation and sweetness. He smiled slightly: "No! I just think that Adam doesn't even have his own musical ideas. Professor, wasn't my cooperation with Wang Qian just now wonderful?"

Dawson's eyes flashed with memories. It was obvious that he could not forget the performance of Wang Qian, Taylor, and Sophie. The exciting and lively music was still echoing in his mind, expressing a sad emotion. He was amazed and said softly, "Not bad, very wonderful! This is a great pop piano piece. After tonight, this piece will be played everywhere in the world."

Taylor smiled sweetly: "I will play it at my concerts, and I will try to add my own style to it."

Dawson looked at Taylor and said, "Oh? He agreed?"

Taylor shook his head: "I haven't discussed it with him yet, but I will convince him."

Dawson nodded. "He is such a genius. After this Voice of China competition is over, I will definitely bring him to our college. If our college misses his music, it will definitely be a loss for us Curtis."

Taylor also nodded affirmatively: "Yes, that is our college's loss! I heard that several famous music colleges and comprehensive universities in China have invited him to give lectures."

Dawson added with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that the piano is only a part of his music. If he could devote all his musical talent to the piano, I think he would be as good as the few classical masters in history. His talent is so great that I can't see the limit."

On the TV screen, Sophie has already walked out.

Taylor looked at Sophie and said, "It's a pity. He seems to prefer to display his talent in pop music now. Maybe when he gets tired of pop music, he will focus on piano and classical music. Then I think he will change the world!"

Dawson thought about it, nodded in agreement, and said, "Yes, he will change the world."

Change the world with music! This is the highest praise and expectation that Dawson can think of for a musician.

In the video, when Sophie said she wanted to play Wang Qian's piano piece "To Xuerong", Taylor's eyes narrowed slightly and he said softly: "Sophie may be very talented, but she is too greedy."

Dawson understood what his student Taylor meant, nodded and said calmly, "Yes. She didn't focus on piano, but came to participate in the Voice World Competition, wasting too much time and energy on pop music. When I talked to her father, Mr. Malone, he was very dissatisfied with this, but Sophie would not listen to her father's advice a long time ago."

In the picture! Sophie, like a princess, sat down gracefully in front of the piano.

This piano is not the same one Taylor used just now. It is another world-famous piano prepared in advance by the program team according to Sophie's request. It is also worth over one million US dollars. A professional tuner tuned it several times according to Sophie's personal requirements and habits.

This also shows the competitive relationship between Sophie and Tyler.

Sophie doesn't use the piano that Taylor used.

An elegant, slow and slightly sad rhythm sounded.

Sophie immediately transformed into a princess lost in love, with a melancholy temperament all over her, as if she was thinking about her lover. Accompanied by the piano music, all the audience listening to the music around her couldn't help but be infected and involved in the story. A trace of inexplicable sadness grew in their hearts.

Everyone who knew piano at the scene could immediately hear and see that Sophie's performance was at the world's top level.

Although he is still far from being a world-class pianist, he is definitely at the top level of pianists below the master level.

One of the greatest piano geniuses in Europe and the greatest piano genius in France.

It really lives up to its reputation.

Professor Dawson said softly, "She is indeed Mr. Malone's daughter! I thought she might have played the piano poorly in the recent Voice competition, but I didn't expect her performance to be even better than the one I heard in Europe last year. No wonder Mr. Malone is so concerned about his daughter and is afraid that she will waste her talent."

Taylor didn't say anything, but just looked at Sophie closely, while listening carefully to the song Zhi Xuerong, comparing Sophie's performance with his own to see if there was any difference in quality.

However, with Taylor's professional level, he couldn't tell that Sophie's performance was obviously inferior to his!

seem!

A bit on par with each other.

Professor Dawson said softly, "Taylor, you are more devoted to your performance than she is. Perhaps it's because you have practiced longer and held several concerts that were very successful. This has made your musical philosophy more firm and confident, and your emotions more full! This is something Sophie doesn't have. Her talent is not inferior to yours, but she has less experience."

Any genius needs successful experience to establish his or her own level and further confidence. People with experience in competitions and large-scale performances have completely different temperaments and beliefs from those without such experience! Dawson meant that Taylor and Sophie have almost the same talent, but Taylor already has successful experience, so his playing proficiency and emotional expression are better than Sophie's! If Sophie can also achieve success and recognition in the new field in the future, she may catch up with Taylor!

Taylor smiled and said, "I will be more successful in the future."

Taylor believed that he would gradually leave Sophie behind and make it impossible for Sophie to catch up with him.

Dawson smiled and nodded, expressing his satisfaction with Taylor's confidence!

This student is the most talented and focused student that Dawson has taught in all his years as a professor at Curtis, and is also the highest level student of his age.

If Taylor can continue to persevere in the future and maintain this high level of concentration and hard work, he will surely become a world-class master pianist in time, adding glory to him and Curtis.

but……

Thinking of Wang Qian.

Professor Dawson frowned and wanted to say what a pity, but he didn't say it and remained silent.

Because Wang Qian is still very young, just in his early thirties, it is too early to say it is a pity.

No one knows what kind of achievements Wang Qian will make in the future.

…

In Wang Qian's lounge.

Everyone watched Adam's performance in a relaxed manner.

Cui Wenfeng, the mentor at the World Championship, also commented with a smile: "I can only be a voting machine for Wang Qian this time. Because I don't understand what they are singing. I don't understand their language, and I have never heard them sing songs. I don't even know if their singing is accurate."

“However, this Adam’s live performance is indeed full of vigor. I think his voice can be heard clearly by the whole audience even without a microphone.”

Murong Yue nodded. "Adam's nickname among many people in North America is Loud Voice. I've heard this song before. It was obviously produced and adapted by Winston's team. The live effect is great. Adam has top singing talent, and with the cooperation of Winston, the world's top producer, the effect is greater than the sum of its parts."

Wang Qian still remembered Winston who had spoken to him, and nodded slightly in acknowledgement, but did not say anything.

He had never heard of this old song, but admitted that the result of the current adaptation was not bad. It was a pop song that was very in line with the current trend. If it was released as a new song, it would definitely be a big success in Europe and the United States. It might not be a champion single, but it would probably not be a problem to enter the top ten of the Billboard for two days! Then.

Sophie came on stage.

Jennifer praised Sophie as an angel sent by God, and everyone in the room was amazed.

Sophie's beauty obviously breaks the barriers between the East and the West and can conquer almost everyone!

However, no one in the room said anything.

After all, there are several people sitting here whose looks are not much inferior to Sophie.

Qin Xuerong, Chen Xiaowen, Jiang Yu, and Murong Yue, each of them has top-notch looks and their own unique temperament.

Therefore, Zhou Qinghua, He Dongming, Cui Wenfeng, Zhao Wei and He Fulin did not speak up for Sophie's appearance, for fear of offending the people in the room.

But, when Sophie played the piano.

Jiang Yu took the initiative to speak: "The performance was very good, Wang Qian, what do you think?"

Jiang Yu looked at Wang Qian, and everyone looked at Wang Qian, the original author.

Qin Xuerong, the person who named this piano piece after himself, also looked at Wang Qian.

Wang Qian said softly, "It is indeed very good. Technically, it can be said to be flawless. However, it still lacks some accumulated experience. You can tell she is a young person. She does not have her own story, and her emotional expression is not full enough."

Jiang Yu took Wang Qian's words to heart and used them to motivate himself in his efforts on the piano.

In the field of piano, Jiang Yu believes that Wang Qian is already a world-class master. Every suggestion he makes goes straight to the core, which makes her feel as if she suddenly understands. Therefore, every time after being instructed by Wang Qian, she gains something. After half a year, she has made considerable progress.

She listened to Sophie's performance and thought that she was definitely not inferior to Sophie! Her eyes were shining with anticipation and excitement.

Jiang Yu had an urgent urge to perform a piano piece live to prove himself.

When Sophie finished her song, there was warm applause from the audience!

Then Sophie began her official performance tonight.

She sang a classic European English song, an old British country song from the 1990s. After her adaptation, she injected some classical music flavor into it, making the whole song suddenly seem like an epic hymn.

A first-class European orchestra brought from the Paris Conservatory of Music accompanied Sophie on the spot. There were many classical instruments, which made many European celebrities and stars at the scene very excited.

Because this orchestra has had many successful performances in Europe and is one of the famous French orchestras, most of whose members are top students from the Paris Conservatory of Music.

Sophie invited this band to be her accompaniment band, which was really high-end, far surpassing the top pop music accompaniment team from Los Angeles that Adam had brought just now! Many European stars and celebrities felt that tonight's performance was really worth it.

The orchestra's accompaniment was as grand as a church hymn, and combined with Sophie's high-pitched singing, the entire scene suddenly became sacred! Wang Qian said with a slightly serious expression: "This orchestra is full of good players!"

With his level, he can tell at a glance that the classical instrument accompaniments in the music world are all of extremely high standard.

Moreover, they cooperated very well, just like a whole.

He Dongming said softly: "It is said that Sophie invited a professional orchestra from the Paris Conservatory of Music. The standard must be very high!"

Wang Qian, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Chen Xiaowen and others nodded after hearing this, expressing their approval of these people's level, and then listened attentively!

They had never heard of this song.

This time, it was the first time they heard Sophie’s singing, but they remembered it deeply.

Sophie's epic hymn-like adaptation and singing style is quite stunning on this stage, and everyone's eyes light up.

Even though Cui Wenfeng didn't understand, he still exclaimed in admiration: "Great!"

He praised Sophie's singing skills, voice, and amazing singing style.

Everyone in the room nodded in agreement.

…

Adam, who had just returned to the room, looked unhappy.

Sophie not only ignored him, but also said on stage that she didn't listen to her performance...

This was equivalent to showing contempt for him in public! As a young man, and a very popular young man, Adam certainly had reason to be angry!

Eric comforted her, "Don't be angry, just watch her performance, you can say the same thing later!"

On the screen, Sophie's singing performance has begun.

Winston's eyes narrowed, and he said quickly, "Sophie needs to take advantage of her talent."

Adam put away his emotions and asked curiously: "What talent advantage?"

The music has started.

Winston said directly: "Classical music talent!"

It was obvious that both Adam and Eric didn't quite understand.

Winston explained: "I have seen Sophie perform several times in Paris. She has an extraordinary talent for classical music. The songs she adapted and added classical elements to are all great. Especially the song she originally wrote, which is like an epic hymn."

"This time, she brought a classical orchestra to accompany her, and with her own classical singing style, her talent and strength will be perfectly brought into play!"

“However, this type of music is very popular in Europe, but not necessarily in North America and other regions.”

Adam and Eric looked at each other, neither of them quite understood.

However, in order to conceal their ignorance, neither of them said anything more or asked any more questions, because the other party was Winston, and if they asked too many questions, they would definitely be ridiculed by the other party.

Why not just listen to Sophie's singing and you will know! Everything will be reflected in her performance!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As soon as Sophie opened her mouth, a hint of shock and solemnity flashed in Adam's eyes.

The singing style is like singing an epic poem, with a high and mellow voice and a bel canto style!

Plus, the accompaniment was originally from a classical orchestra, and it felt like listening to hymns in church.

Completely different from Adam’s performance just now!

Adam himself felt that compared with Sophie's singing, his performance might be a bit too greasy.

My mood suddenly became heavy again.

Adam's expression was very complicated.

He competed in North America and crushed his opponents all the way until he met Green at the end, when he encountered some obstacles. He won the championship smoothly. Coupled with the praise from many fans and media, he thought that he could easily win the world championship and crush the champions of other regions with his talent.

It was not until Wang Qian put pressure on him that he started to improve himself seriously.

And now...

Sophie's performance put him under more pressure! From this, he thought about whether Elizabeth, Wang Qian's official performance, and the champions of other regions would be amazing? The champions of each region are not weak! Adam only understood this truth now! All of a sudden, his sense of urgency and pressure became heavier than ever before.

Win the championship?

His confidence hit rock bottom.

He somewhat regretted not following the advice of his mentor Ceci and seizing every opportunity to improve himself.

…

Sophie's song ended.

The audience burst into warm applause again.

Many audience members who love classical music stood up excitedly and gave their applause.

Then, all the audience stood up.

Christine in the front row also stood up and applauded.

Sharon asked curiously, "Chris, I think Sophie's singing is great."

Kristen nodded in approval: "Yes, it's great! Very unique, with her own music in it. It's a pity that she performed on the Voice stage instead of at a concert."

Sharon: "Chris, what do you mean?"

Christine clapped her hands and said, "What I mean is that this stage attracts a large number of fans who like pop music. They may think Sophie's performance is good, but they won't support her too much. Because they like pop music more."

Sharon nodded, approving of Christine's analysis.

She looked around and saw that although everyone around her stood up and applauded, most of them looked calm and were only clapping politely. They did not show the kind of surprise and excitement that they had when Wang Qian played Magic City Rhapsody just now.

The applause is over!

Jennifer asked Sophie, "Sophie, your singing is so great. It makes me feel like I'm in church and listening to God's voice. Will you always sing songs like this in the future?"

Sophie smiled and shook her head: "No, this is just an attempt for me. I will try my best to sing in a pop style in the future. I know where I am!"

This was an opening performance that did not count towards the score, so Sophie tried this purely classical singing style. However, she also knew that this kind of music would definitely not be very popular in Los Angeles, North America, the world's pop music center.

Besides, The Voice of China is for the general public, so ordinary pop music must be the most popular! Sophie will make a change in the next official competition!

This was a compromise she made in order to achieve better results in front of Wang Qian.

Her original plan was to sing her purest classical music songs at the World Championships, without caring about the results.

But now, she cares about her grades and she wants to strive for better results.

So she compromised with the market.

Jennifer: "Wow, I'm so looking forward to it, come on!"

Sophie: “Thank you.”

After saying that, Sophie walked off the stage without much interaction with Jennifer.

Jennifer was a little embarrassed and wanted to ask more questions, but she quickly adjusted herself and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to Sophie's next performance. Now, let's welcome Elizabeth from England! She and Wang Qian from China are the two oldest among the ten champions of this show. They are both over 30 years old, while the other contestants are all young people in their twenties."

“However, the music of Elizabeth and Wang Qian gives us the most mature feeling. Both the style and the emotional expression resonate with me more!”

"Welcome Elizabeth!"

Amidst the applause.

Elizabeth came out and gave Sophie, who had just stepped off the stage, a gentle hug. Sophie whispered in Elizabeth's ear, "Come on!"

Elizabeth walked out with a smile on her face, wearing a short black skirt that showed off her slightly mature and charming figure.

Jennifer smiled and said, "Isa, how do you feel now?"

Elizabeth: “Nervous and scared!”

Jennifer asked curiously, "Why?"

All the audience looked at Elizabeth curiously. It was understandable that she was nervous. After all, this was the most watched stage in the world. I didn't know why she was afraid! Elizabeth answered truthfully: "Because the performers before me were so amazing and their performances were so wonderful. Especially Wang Qian's performance and Sophie's unique style just now are both unique in the world. This made me very nervous. I was afraid that my performance would not be good enough and would disappoint everyone!"

Elizabeth spoke directly and expressed her emotions, but there was no expression of nervousness or fear on her face, as if she was joking.

Jennifer smiled and said, "The performances of the previous contestants were indeed very exciting, but I believe your performance will be just as exciting!"

Elizabeth: “Thank you, I hope so!”

Elizabeth takes the stage!

The music played by the following accompaniment artists was relatively simple compared to the music played by Adam and Sophie in the beginning.

Elizabeth started singing immediately. It was a very popular country song in North America, which was very difficult.

As soon as she opened her mouth, her mellow and emotional voice spread throughout the entire venue, immediately brightening the eyes of many North American audiences who were familiar with the song and causing them to burst into sparse applause.

Most people cannot sing this song in a way that conveys the feeling of seeing through the vicissitudes of life.

However, Elizabeth interpreted that kind of vicissitudes extremely perfectly, almost as good as the original singer.

This made every musician at the scene's eyes light up! They exclaimed, "Great!"

Wang Qian in the lounge also stared at Elizabeth with sparkling eyes and said softly: "Elizabeth's voice is very contagious!"

This reminded him of the world-class diva in his previous life who was also born in England, and whose songs made the whole world cry!

Elizabeth's voice also has this potential and penetration.

Chen Xiaowen nodded: "You sang very well!"

Although Cui Wenfeng didn't understand the song, he could still feel the emotions in it and praised it: "It's really well sung, the emotions are almost overflowing from the screen."

Indeed, the emotions in Elizabeth's singing were so full that they seemed to be overflowing.

The camera captured several audience members wiping their tears while listening to Elizabeth's singing! The scene was silent! Everyone was immersed in Elizabeth's singing.

Very contagious.

Chen Xiaowen looked at Wang Qian with a questioning look in her eyes.

Wang Qian also happened to see Chen Xiaowen and understood her expression: Come on, don't feel pressured! Wang Qian smiled back, full of confidence.

Elizabeth's performance soon ended.

She only had one song, unlike Sophie who also had a piano piece to play, so the performance ended in just a few minutes. The applause from the audience was extremely enthusiastic, and many audience members stood up and applauded again.

Elizabeth smiled and bowed to thank all the audience.

After answering Jennifer's two simple questions, Elizabeth left the stage! Wang Qian, who had brought Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin to the entrance, met Elizabeth when she came out! Wang Qian did not hesitate to praise her: "You sang very well. I almost cried."

Elizabeth thanked Wang Qian: "Thank you, I am looking forward to your rock performance."

Wang Qian: “Thank you!”

After a few polite words, Elizabeth left quickly.

Wang Qian also came on stage with his team.

More than 20,000 eyes in the audience were focused on Wang Qian and the band members behind him.

Around the world, more than one billion viewers were watching Wang Qian and his group on TV screens!
