Chapter 283 282. I learned from myself! You can't do it? That's because you are too poorly gifted! (Please subscribe!)
The moment Wang Qian walked out, he felt a heavy and solemn atmosphere coming towards him.
All the audience!
Thousands of people's eyes were focused on him.
but.
The whole place was extremely silent.
Even, very serious and solemn!
As far as I could see, the vast majority of people were obviously from Europe and America, and they were all quite old.
There were basically no young people in the entire venue!
After all, most people who like art are older.
Among artists, there are no young people, because those who are too young will not be recognized as artists. Artists need to have a solid foundation, which those who are too young cannot do.
Every pair of eyes cast upon him contained obvious doubts, questions, disdain, and condescending looks.
In a silent, serious and questioning scene.
In the corner, Qin Xuerong clapped her hands without hesitation, regardless of what others around her were saying.
Qin Xuerong definitely supported Wang Qian at the first opportunity.
Qin Xuehong, who was sitting next to Qin Xuerong, also immediately clapped his hands.
Liu Shengnan, Chen Xiaowen, Xiao Dongmei, Ru Ke and others from China all applauded at the same time, almost without any particular order, and the applause was very abrupt.
Then, He Chaohui, Yang Jiansen, Peng Donghu and others woke up from the solemn atmosphere, and quickly led the members of the visiting group to applaud Wang Qian.
No matter how these European and American artists targeted Wang Qian, the people from their three major academies absolutely and unreservedly supported Wang Qian.
Taylor and Sophie, Chiba Mao, and Nakamori Miyuki all came to their senses and quickly applauded Wang Qian.
Sophie and Taylor looked at each other and could see a hint of shame in each other's eyes.
They felt a little ashamed for not being able to applaud Wang Qian in the first place! Sophie tilted her head and looked at Qin Xuerong. She roughly understood why Wang Qian firmly said that he would never leave Qin Xuerong, even if she, the French genius piano rose, could not replace her. This simple Chinese girl seemed to have no other people or things in her heart except Wang Qian, which was something she could not do.
The applause from their small group of people rang out abruptly in the quiet hall.
Many other audiences from Europe and the United States also gave lukewarm applause out of politeness.
Therefore, applause from the audience broke out one after another, but it was obviously cold.
When many people were applauding, there was obvious disdain and indifference on their faces when they looked at Wang Qian.
For example, Ma Long, whom Wang Qian knew and who was sitting in the first row, looked at Wang Qian with a cold expression on his face, clapping his hands lightly from time to time.
However, there were a few people who showed some enthusiasm when they applauded Wang Qian.
For example, when Wang Qian saw Christine in the middle position, he clapped his hands vigorously.
There were also some middle-aged and elderly people with a strong artistic temperament who gave Wang Qian warm applause.
Facing the applause, Wang Qian walked out from the backstage, alone, with steady steps to the middle, picked up the microphone on the middle podium, walked to a Steinway piano there, reached out and lightly pressed a key at random, and a casual note rang out.
The applause from the audience gradually died down.
Everyone looked at Wang Qian in surprise.
I don’t know what Wang Qian is going to do.
Should the show start with a piano piece? However, those who thought so were disappointed.
Because Wang Qian just pressed a note and then left the piano, as if he was just passing by the piano.
All pairs of eyes were fixed on Wang Qian.
Many people have eager expressions on their faces, as if they want to stand up and attack Wang Qian right now!
However, Wang Qian had only been in existence for less than a minute and had not said a word yet. It seemed a little too hasty and obvious, as well as too rude, for him to suddenly attack him.
Therefore, many people who came with ulterior motives resisted their impulses, but their eyes were always fixed on Wang Qian, looking for any flaws in the details of Wang Qian.
Diana, who was sitting behind the camera in the corner, looked at Wang Qian nervously with mixed emotions, knowing that Wang Qian was facing a life-or-death test, and under the attention of the whole world. After looking at the camera, Diana lowered her head to look at her phone, which showed a message from the program team, asking them to add a few more cameras, because the ratings were very good, and the program team needed more angles to shoot the scenes!
Los Angeles! The Voice of China production team held another meeting.
In the conference room, the TV screen was showing the scene of Wang Qian appearing in the classroom at Curtis Institute at this moment. The host no longer made comments, and everything was left to the live broadcast, allowing all the audience to see the most real pictures and scenes, without noisy voice-overs.
Oni said excitedly: "The ratings of this show are very high. Now the number of viewers in North America alone has exceeded 40 million. It may exceed 50 million in a while. If the follow-up is exciting enough, it may reach 70 or 80 million. This is a huge surprise!"
He proposed to produce this program in order to earn traffic and attention from Wang Qian. He thought that it would be a surprise if the number of viewers could reach 20 to 30 million, which would be a great success in North America. Normally, the ratings of a popular variety show would be like this, and the ratings of a popular TV series would be stable at around 20 to 30 million.
Therefore, a real-time program tracking and reporting a Chinese player with an audience of 20 to 30 million is beyond the imagination of many people.
But……
Unexpectedly! When Wang Qian just appeared in the class, the number of viewers exceeded 40 million, which is almost the best ratings except for the Super Bowl.
This show is making a ton of money.
Other members of the program team were also very excited.
High ratings mean greenbacks.
and!
Most people don’t think Wang Qian can get out of this unscathed. By then, he will most likely not be able to stay in North America. Winning the championship? It’s even more impossible!
Now, the program crew is trying every means to squeeze all the benefits out of Wang Qian. The regions where several other favorites to win the championship are located are also excited, as their chance has come again!
Therefore, George, the representative of the North American program team, said excitedly: "We can now expand the publicity and increase the ratings as much as possible. Moreover, even if he is forced to kneel down by those old guys in this class, we cannot terminate the live broadcast or let him leave North America directly. He must participate in the subsequent competitions according to the contract."
Even if Wang Qian was forced into a state of isolation by European and American music artists in the classroom, George would never let Wang Qian fulfill his bet with Diana and leave North America immediately, but would continue to let Wang Qian participate in the remaining competitions!
Because, by that time Wang Qian would not be able to pose any threat to Adam anyway, and many European and American audiences still wanted to see Wang Qian's next performance, but they would not be able to vote for him. After all, Wang Qian would lose face in this class and become a clown laughed at by everyone!
Therefore, continue to squeeze the benefits out of Wang Qian in the remaining games, and then play a supporting role for Adam and other players!
This is in the best interests of the championship-winning division.
Half of the profits that Wang Qian brought to the program team will be obtained by the North American division that wins the championship! Yes, now George thinks Adam is good enough and thinks that all the money is his!
Oni also said calmly: "Yes, that's as it should be! He and Diana were just joking. If he wants to withdraw from the competition, he will have to pay enough liquidated damages."
From a purely interest standpoint, O'Neal also supports George's decision.
People from other regions also nodded in agreement.
Only Zhang Zhilong from the Huaxia Division said, "Have you all forgotten that Wang Qian is still number one on the list? He just broke Kristen's single-day download record for pop songs!"
Everyone laughed after hearing what Zhang Zhilong said.
George looked at Zhang Zhilong and asked, "So what? After today, he will become the most hated person among European and American audiences."
Zhang Zhilong opened his mouth, then fell silent with a grim look on his face.
To be honest, he also had a bad feeling when he looked at Wang Qian on TV!
He also doesn't think Wang Qian can compete with so many top European and American music artists. He will definitely be humiliated in the end. So will the European and American media let Wang Qian go?
Obviously not!
Adding insult to injury has always been what the entertainment media are best at. By then, Wang Qian will definitely become a pariah under their suppression.
Those audiences will naturally have a huge prejudice against Wang Qian!
At that time, even if Wang Qian still participated in the competition, even if the songs he sang were still beautiful and wonderful, he probably would not get a very high score.
Because everyone will have a resistance to Wang Qian!
Once this sentiment spreads and becomes a prejudice, it is difficult to break.
Zhang Zhilong sighed and stopped talking. He only blamed Wang Qian for being too conceited! George continued with the attitude of a winner: "It's a pity that we can only do such a high-rated program for one day. I suggest that starting tomorrow, Wang Qian's resource level be restored to fourth, which is in line with his actual ranking. Give his extra resources to Adam. Adam will be the first to appear in the next game. Whether our first official game will become a hit all over the world depends on Adam, so we must give Adam enough resource support."
George's words were also opposed!
Because Adam's opponent, as well as Sophie and her opponent who also appeared in the first game, representatives from the three major regions all opposed George's decision. Why should he only give resources to Adam and not to Sophie and the other three players who appeared in the first game?
A dispute...
Forget about Wang Qian and others for the time being.
but!
The dispute ended quickly.
Because, on the TV screen, Wang Qian stood in front of the podium and looked at the thousands of people in the audience in silence for a few seconds, then he started speaking.
Oni, George, Zhang Zhilong and others quickly stopped talking and looked at the TV screen.
Everyone is looking forward to what will happen in this class and how it will end!
Every viewer watching the live broadcast on TV has similar strong expectations.
European and American online platforms were abuzz with excitement. More than 40 million people watched the show in North America alone, and other European and American countries were also broadcasting it. The total number of viewers was at least hundreds of millions, and many people were discussing it online while watching it! In particular, many people saw familiar faces on the TV screen, which made them very excited to participate in the discussion.
"God, I saw Mr. Malone. I didn't expect that Mr. Malone would go. This Chinese kid is really famous. Regardless of whether his class today was good or bad, it's already amazing that he could attract so many top artists to the scene."
"I attended a concert by Mr. Malone in France two years ago. It was really great. What qualifications do Chinese kids have to stand on the podium and give lectures to Mr. Malone?"
"Am I the only one who saw Kristen? Kristen was already there."
"I saw Kristen too!"
"Did you know that Wang Qian's single broke Christine's single-day download record?"
"That was just luck on his part. He doesn't deserve to be compared with Kristen."
"Hahaha, how embarrassing! No one applauded him, only the Chinese people did. If it were me, I would probably be too embarrassed to go on stage. It's too shameful. He's really thick-skinned to be able to stand there calmly."
"I saw Dean Max..."
"I saw Mr. Hilton."
"Why isn't this Chinese kid talking? Is he scared by so many masters? Is he going to wet his pants?"
…
In fact.
Many people who were at the scene saw that Wang Qian had walked up to the podium and had not spoken for half a minute, and they all thought that Wang Qian might be too nervous to speak.
But in fact.
It’s not that Wang Qian didn’t dare to speak, but he constantly gathered a strong enough artistic aura at the scene to counteract the solemn aura at the scene and the aura emanating from many artists.
Aura is mysterious, invisible and intangible!
However, it does exist. When a person holds a high position for a long time, he will naturally have an aura of majesty without even getting angry, and most people would not dare to approach him and talk to him when he stands there.
These artists have been studying music art for a long time, so they have the aura of an artist. Moreover, they have been famous for many years and have been complimented by many people, so they also have the aura of a superior.
At this time, among the thousands of people present, at least half can be considered music artists, and most of the others are also engaged in music art work.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
So, they gathered together and looked at one person together. If it were anyone else, they would probably be scared to death.
Wang Qian gradually developed a strong aura of his own, acting out the aura of a powerful artist standing on top of the world, fighting against thousands of people at the scene without losing! A smile gradually spread across his face.
Wang Qian faced everyone with pure eyes and a warm voice and said, "I am very grateful to so many senior artists for coming here to talk to me about music. The whole world has been pushing me these past two days, which has put me under some pressure. But fortunately, this class is about music. So, I am just a little stressed, but not worried at all."
“Because I’m too familiar with music.”
Wang Qian said the last sentence in an extremely deep and affectionate tone.
It was as if music was the lover he had loved for many years.
The scene remained quiet.
Wang Qian could see that in the first row, the tall and burly Mr. Ma Long still had a cold expression on his face and was staring at him with a scrutinizing look.
Professor Dawson looked at Wang Qian calmly. Seeing Wang Qian so confident and at ease, there was only a hint of expectation in his eyes.
There was a hint of appreciation in Christine's eyes.
Taylor, Sophie and others were very impressed. They asked themselves that if they were standing there, they would not be able to remain so calm.
Wang Qian's aura and control ability made most people at the scene feel inferior.
Wang Qian continued, "Speaking of music, many people say that I am not a professional, I am just a latecomer, I am self-taught, so I cannot represent anything..."
These words resonated with many people at the scene.
Because most people at the scene thought so, and looked down on Wang Qian for that reason!
Wang Qian, an actor who studies acting and has no experience in music school, why does he come here to teach them? Why does he call himself the king of piano? Wang Qian smiled and said, "But I came here today to tell you with facts. Music, or all arts, is not about where you study or who you study with, but whether you really have talent! If you have talent, then everything else is unimportant. It only depends on whether you study hard. As long as you study hard, even if you only study in the music cram school at the entrance of the community, you can learn it and achieve strength that is not inferior to those of you present!"
This is what Wang Qian really thinks!
In his previous life, he was born in a small mountain valley in the countryside. He went to a small country school for both primary and junior high school. The hardware and software were very ordinary, and there were only a few dozen students in the school. However, he was able to get a top ten score in the region in the high school entrance examination, which was better than the top students in many key middle schools in the county and city, because he was smart enough and studied hard.
It’s a pity that after Wang Qian entered the key high school in the city, he suddenly lost interest in studying and became interested in other messy things, so he only got into an ordinary university in the college entrance examination.
Wang Qian has always believed that talent is the most important thing. If you have talent and are willing to work hard to study, you will definitely achieve something!
Without talent, even if you are sent to study under the top masters in the world's top universities, even if you work hard day and night, you will not achieve much.
Wang Qian has seen students who studied with books every day except for eating and sleeping, but in the end they only got into an ordinary school. This is because they had ordinary talents.
Wang Qian believes that he has a good talent for music in both his past and present lives, but in his past life he did not delve into music, but dabbled in a wide range of music as needed, so he did not achieve much. But in this life, his talent is even better, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is unique, and he has really studied music with all his heart, plus the memories of his past life! So, when it comes to music, he really has confidence from the bottom of his heart.
But……
This is unacceptable to many artists on the scene.
immediately!
There were many pairs of hands raised at the scene.
Among them are some old men with snow-white hair, calm temperament, and artistic qualities at first glance.
So many people.
He couldn't wait, and as soon as Wang Qian started talking, he immediately started asking questions based on what he said.
Wang Qian had anticipated this. Standing in front of the piano and facing the many people who raised their hands, he smiled and said, "So many people can't wait to communicate with me, which makes me very happy. I am very willing to talk to everyone who wants to communicate with me, which will make us all gain something."
As he spoke, Wang Qian casually pointed at a middle-aged man in the audience and said, "Well, let's start with this gentleman. What do you want to say?"
The middle-aged white man in a black suit and light blue tie stood up, and someone specially arranged by the school immediately handed him a microphone. The middle-aged man took the microphone, looked at Wang Qian and asked loudly: "Mr. Wang Qian, I don't agree with your point of view. Even the most talented people need to go through a long period of systematic learning to master the correct knowledge. Only with the right foundation can they go further."
"You haven't received any systematic training. You didn't even study music in college. Instead, you studied acting. Your main job is an actor. It is said that you taught yourself music. You don't have any foundation at all. It is impossible to become a talent just by self-study..."
The middle-aged man refuted Wang Qian's words without hesitation and belittled Wang Qian. He then continued, "There are many world-renowned music artists present here, and none of them did not learn from famous teachers or graduated from famous schools. They also have top talents, but they also need to receive a good and systematic education under famous schools and famous teachers in order to bring out their talents and become musicians."
Finally, the middle-aged man looked at Wang Qian and asked seriously, "Excuse me, who is your music teacher?"
The scene was completely silent! Many people looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.
Although, most people came here for Wang Qian, and they all had bad intentions.
However, many people were surprised that he could speak so bluntly and aggressively at the beginning! After all, we are all artists with status and cultivation, so we should be more tactful when speaking, right?
this!
There seemed to be no euphemistic tone or vocabulary, everything was straightforward and aggressive.
You’re very welcome.
Everyone looked at the middle-aged man who asked the question. Many of them knew him. Then they all looked at Wang Qian, expecting how Wang Qian would respond to such an impolite question!
Qin Xuerong said in a low voice: "Americans are so rude!"
Qin Xuehong also shook his head and said, "They are very dissatisfied with Wang Qian, so of course they are not polite. They attack whatever they can. It is only because Wang Qian is strong and well-mannered that he can endure it. I can't do anything about it anyway."
Jiang Yu whispered, "This man is called Elton. He is currently the second pianist of the New York Philharmonic, the second largest orchestra in North America. He graduated from the Manhattan School of Music and is somewhat famous in New York. However, it is still difficult for him to become the principal pianist of the orchestra. Because the principal pianist of the Philharmonic is now the first female pianist in North America, Elsa, who graduated from Juilliard!"
Jiang Yu studied classical piano, so he is familiar with most of the more active music artists in the world today, and he also has some impressions of second-tier artists like Elton.
Murong Yue said: "So, he is here to cause trouble."
Liu Shengnan looked around and whispered, "I think, except for those from us, everyone else is here to cause trouble!"
Everyone nodded in agreement! The atmosphere here was indeed very unfriendly to them and Wang Qian.
It seemed like everyone was coming for them.
Now!
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely serious.
Everyone looked at Wang Qian.
Wang Qian stood in front of the piano, his gentle smile still intact. He looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Sir, can I know your name?"
The middle-aged man said with a hint of arrogance: "My name is Elton."
Wang Qian: "Which school did you graduate from?"
Elton proudly said: "Manhattan School of Music, my teacher is Mr. Bosh."
Many people present obviously knew Elton, so there was no surprise or envy at his answer.
Many people at the scene had talents and academic backgrounds that were not inferior to Elton! However, Wang Qian shrugged easily and said bluntly: "I know the Manhattan School of Music, but, I'm sorry, I don't know you and your teacher, Mr. Bosh."
There was some uproar at the scene.
Obviously, no one expected Wang Qian to say this!
Even if you don't know, you can't say it like that, right? It's very rude and disrespectful.
Elton's face turned red with anger and he said, "My teacher, Mr. Bosh, is the chief conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra, and you don't even know him! Then, who is your teacher?"
Wang Qian smiled and continued, "I'm sorry, I really don't know your teacher, Mr. Bosh. In fact, I may not know or know almost all the music masters present. I know this may be disrespectful to you, but I think lying is disrespectful to you."
"My music teacher is myself! It's all the basic knowledge that can be found everywhere on the Internet. I used to just be a music enthusiast, but in the last seven or eight years I really started to like music and delve into it. I searched for all the basic knowledge that could be found on the Internet, taught myself, and practiced the notes I wanted to practice."
"I didn't think about achieving anything in the past, I didn't think about doing anything in the past, I just like music, I just enjoy music, I don't perform for anyone, because I don't need to and don't want to. I just simply like it, just simply enjoy it, I don't think about using music to achieve myself or to gain anything!"
"Mr. Elton, do you understand what I am saying?"
Wang Qian looked at Elton and asked.
The scene was also silent! Obviously, everyone was digesting Wang Qian's words.
There is so much information in it.
Wang Qian looked at Professor Dawson in the front row, then looked at the location of the visiting delegation from the domestic music academy, and said, "Until one day, Director He of the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music invited me to participate in the international music exchange meeting of Magic Sound. I couldn't refuse, so I went there, and then I met Professor Dawson and others. I accidentally played a few songs that I wrote casually when I was studying music before..."
“Then, it spread all over the world!”
“My music teacher is myself, and my music is also myself!”
"Are you satisfied with my answer, Mr. Elton?"
The scene was still silent! Many people listened to Wang Qian's words and remained skeptical and unconvinced! Because it was too fantastic.
Teach yourself from scratch, write your own music, and then spread it around the world?
I don't believe it! Elton also said immediately: "I'm not satisfied! I don't believe what you said..."
Wang Qian said calmly, "You come from a famous family, graduated from a famous school, and studied under famous teachers, but you are still mediocre. That means you have poor talent! I don't care whether you believe it or not. I don't want to argue with you about these things. Can we talk about music? Mr. Elton, let me see the level of Manhattan Academy and your teacher Mr. Bosh. How is it?"
Elton's face flushed. It was the first time he was told that he had poor talent. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Okay, as you wish..."
