Chapter 288 287. A realm that no one has been able to achieve in the past hundred years! This is a piece of rubbish! (Subscribe)

The applause at the scene continued for about a minute before gradually stopping!

Everyone in the audience gave applause to Wang Qian.

Even the many respected professors and deans from top classical music schools, as well as many performing masters in the front row, stood up with everyone and clapped their hands sincerely.

Even though Ma Long had many personal dissatisfactions with Wang Qian, he gave his applause sincerely at this moment. Looking at Wang Qian, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes for the first time! If possible, it seems to be a good thing to bring this Chinese boy back to France and make him his son-in-law! It is possible that it will bring some vitality to the field of French classical music, and it is also possible that the Paris Conservatory of Music will have a deeper foundation.

certainly……

What's more.

Ma Long believed that perhaps allowing Wang Qian to join the Ma Long family would allow the Ma Long family to take a step further in the entire field of European classical music, and in the future it might become a musical family that gave birth to great masters, and be on par with the world's top musical families.

Eyes flickering!

Ma Long looked back at his daughter, and then at Qin Xuerong who was sitting with his daughter Sophie. He wondered if his daughter could snatch Wang Qian away from Qin Xuerong? Sophie, Taylor, Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Chen Xiaowen, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Xiao Dongmei, Ru Ke, Qian Yu Zhenzhu, Nakamori Miyuki and others all had red faces from excitement, and they all clapped vigorously. Even if their palms hurt from clapping, they didn't care at all, and still clapped with greater strength.

Everyone looked at Wang Qian with a strange look in their eyes! This piano piece, as gentle as water, obviously attracted more of them.

Taylor stared at Wang Qian with twinkling eyes and said softly, "This song is one of my favorites. It is as intoxicating as the girl's prayer!"

Sophie nodded: "Yes, it's great! But his performance level surprised me even more. This is the ideal performance technique proposed by many pianists, but no one has been able to achieve it in reality so far!"

Several piano department directors of the Central Conservatory of Music nodded and looked excited! He Chaohui said softly: "A hundred years ago, the great piano master Becks said that his dream of piano performance was to make everyone forget the piano and the music, and see a clear picture. The whole song is like a picture telling a story. He did not reach this level of performance until his death. Many piano masters followed these words and wanted to achieve this. However, a hundred years have passed, and no one has done it so far."

"Originally, this matter was almost forgotten by the piano world. Thirty years ago, piano master Solek said that it was an impossible realm to reach, and many other top masters also publicly declared that it was an ideal realm that no one could achieve in reality! However, today, Professor Wang showed us that this realm does exist."

"Each song tells a story, and it is a story with a complete picture."

He Chaohui's popular science made the people around the Huaxia delegation suddenly realize! Some students and teachers immediately understood why so many people were so enthusiastic, and even some old artists were so excited that their faces turned red.

They all clearly remembered that at the beginning, these so-called artists, especially the veteran artists in the front row, did not want to applaud Wang Qian at all, and their attitude towards Wang Qian and themselves was very arrogant.

Now……

Wang Qian conquered everyone at the scene with his absolute level of performance.

It was a relatively simple, short, new popular piano piece, but they performed to a piano level that they believed no one else could achieve.

Peng Donghu clapped his hands vigorously and said regretfully: "It's a pity that this scene did not happen in China. It would definitely have a great historical significance for our Chinese music field. This is Curtis..."

Yang Jiansen also had a face full of regret. He could imagine that if this scene happened in the Magic Sound Concert Hall, it would definitely shock the world, and Magic Sound might also be noticed by the world, thus enhancing its world reputation and status! However, Yang Jiansen added: "In fact, it is good to happen here, so that music artists from all over the world can hear Professor Wang's performance live and witness his superb musical performance ability. If it happened in China, they would not be able to experience it so clearly without being there, and no matter what we say, they will not believe it, and may even say that we are bragging."

"Now, the entire world of classical music has heard it live and with their own ears, so no one can doubt Professor Wang's piano level. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the world's number one pianist."

Yang Jiansen's words made everyone nod in agreement, and then their faces were filled with pride and honor.

They all believed that if Wang Qian were to perform music of such a high level at the Magic Conservatory of Music, Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, or Central Conservatory of Music, even if they told others about it, no music artist in Europe and America would agree with it and would not believe it was true.

This is because this kind of extremely high-level live performance can only be truly appreciated when you listen to it live. You won’t feel it so deeply when you listen to it through speakers in front of a TV or headphones. You will just feel that it sounds good and you have a strong sense of immersion, but you won’t have the shocking feeling of ignoring the music and just looking at the picture.

They publicly declared decades ago that this was an impossible level of piano playing, and now some people say that he has achieved it, and he was achieved by a Chinese person who they believe belongs to the desert of classical music?

Then they will absolutely not agree with it, and may even ridicule you!

And now...

No one will be able to question it.

There were thousands of people at the scene, most of whom were famous musicians from all over the world, and a small number of them were senior classical music lovers with a high level of appreciation. Each of them personally experienced the piano performance that unfolded like a picture. If you ask them to recall the notes of the song just now, they may not be able to name a few, but if you ask them to describe what picture they just saw, they can tell it clearly.

This level of live performance is exactly the ideal state proposed by the great master a hundred years ago.

Music itself, after all, is the transmission of emotions, and being able to depict emotions and convey them clearly like a painting is an extremely incredible state.

Many pianists in Europe and America have tried for a hundred years, but no one has been able to do it.

Now……

A young Chinese pianist, studying at Curtis, one of the world's top classical music schools, has done it.

Every Chinese person who understands music has a look of pride on their face, and they all hold their heads high and applaud vigorously.

Chen Xiaowen, Ru Ke, and Xiao Dongmei did not speak and remained silent. They came here with the intention of being spectators as much as possible so as not to cause trouble to Wang Qian, but the applause they gave was the warmest.

The applause lasted for more than a minute.

Wang Qian stood in front of the piano, calmly accepting everyone's applause. When the applause stopped, he said softly again: "Thank you."

In fact, Wang Qian himself didn’t quite understand why the scene was so enthusiastic.

He felt that this song was not enough to arouse such enthusiasm among everyone.

Although this song Adeline by the Waterside is considered one of the most successful popular piano songs in another world and has won awards.

However, it was just a piano piece after all, and it couldn't drive the many experienced music artists at the scene crazy.

He also felt that he was just playing to convey the emotions he wanted, without much feeling.

Isn't that what all pianists can do? The applause fades.

Wang Qian was just about to walk to the blackboard, write out the score of this song and explain it to everyone.

However, everyone at the scene immediately raised their arms, hands, and faces looked at Wang Qian with expectant eyes, all wanting to be chosen by Wang Qian.

in!

Wang Qian saw many familiar faces.

Taylor and Sophie both raised their hands, as did Anne, Taylor's classmate.

Mars and Elton, who had just stepped down from the stage, also raised their hands, looking extremely excited, expecting Wang Qian to ask them to stand up and ask questions again.

The top singer in the European and American music scene in the middle, Kristen, also raised her hands high, her face flushed with excitement, her eyes staring at Wang Qian with a halo.

Many respected master musicians in the front row also put aside their reserve and raised their hands to interact with Wang Qian face to face and learn more about Wang Qian's piano performance! Professor Dawson, Mr. Kalman, and Sophie's father Mr. Malone, who Wang Qian knew, all raised their hands and wanted to chat with Wang Qian! Wang Qian smiled and looked at everyone with a relaxed expression, saying, "I am honored that so many people want to talk to me. Then, I will randomly choose one."

As he spoke, Wang Qian really stretched out his hand and waved casually, saying: "Then it's you, sir!"

A middle-aged man who was sitting in the middle and not far from Kristen stood up. He was wearing a well-fitting black suit, a white shirt and a red tie, which was very eye-catching. He stood up and looked at Wang Qian and said, "Mr. Wang Qian, I am honored to be chosen by you. My name is Ma Rui."

Wang Qian: "Hello, Mr. Ma Rui!"

Ma Rui looked at Wang Qian with a little respect and asked, "Mr. Wang Qian, what is the name of this piece of music?"

Wang Qian thought about it and didn't want to use his original name. Thinking of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that was just released some time ago, he said, "The Goddess of Luo River by the Water. The Goddess of Luo River is a very beautiful goddess in ancient China."

The middle-aged man Ma Rui looked at Wang Qian with a smile in his eyes, then nodded and said, "It is indeed very beautiful. This song is just like a very beautiful poem, which makes me intoxicated. Coincidentally, I am a poet, and I know that Mr. Wang Qian is also a poet in China. I would like to ask Mr. Wang Qian some questions about poetry. Is that okay?"

Uh! Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face froze for a moment, then he quickly recovered, stared at the other party, and asked: "Mr. Ma Rui, what did you say?"

The scene fell silent instantly.

Thousands of eyes turned to Ma Rui.

Many veteran artists in the front row turned around and looked at Ma Rui, their eyes filled with confusion, annoyance, surprise, and anger!

Many other people looked at Ma Rui with inexplicable surprise and anger! No one understood what was going on...

Christine, who was not far from Ma Rui, also frowned and looked at Ma Rui. She heard the discussions of people around her and her expression became dazed.

"Ma Rui is a writer who has been on the best-selling book list. He said on Twitter that he wanted to ask Wang Qian for advice on literature. I didn't expect him to actually bring it up here. This guy is really bold and doesn't even consider the occasion."

A middle-aged man said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Many others echoed this.

"Yes, I also want to hear Mr. Wang Qian talk about his music and playing skills. His performance just now was incredible! I really want to listen to his performance again. The beautiful picture is like a pure love movie!"

“This is the clearest, most expressive live piano performance I have ever heard, and today is the right day.”

"I really hope Mr. Wang Qian can hold a solo concert as soon as possible. I will definitely book ten tickets and invite my family and friends to go and listen to it, so that they can know what musical art is."

"This Ma Rui is here to cause trouble. This is a music class. Mr. Wang Qian just played the best live piano performance in the world, and he actually asked about poetry? This is inexplicable!"

…

After hearing this, Christine looked at Ma Rui with dissatisfaction. If possible, she really wanted to stand up and talk face to face with Wang Qian about music on behalf of Ma Rui.

Wang Qian's performance just now really conquered even her, a pop music queen who doesn't like classical instruments very much.

She had never thought that there was such a high level of performance in the world, which could use notes to depict pictures that people could feel clearly, and listening to music was as clear as watching a movie.

It is no exaggeration to say that this level of performance is the best in the world today.

Thinking of Wang Qian's previous interview in which he said that he was the king of piano, Christine agreed with this statement for the first time.

She had heard performances by almost all of the top piano masters in North America, but none of them were as perfect as Wang Qian's performance just now!

Then, isn’t Wang Qian the current world piano king?

The quiet scene suddenly became lively again, with many discussions arising.

Almost the vast majority of people are very dissatisfied with Ma Rui.

Mars whispered, "I really want to kick this guy out!"

Elton nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is the highest English temple in the world now. He actually asked about poetry. This is simply blasphemy to music."

The two looked at Ma Rui with obvious anger in their eyes.

…

He Chaohui, Yang Jiansen, Peng Donghu and other members of the Chinese music delegation were also shocked.

Xiao Dongmei spoke for the first time, mumbling to herself, "Can I ask about poetry in music class?"

She is a Chinese university professor, and if anyone asks about music in her class, she will kick the student out.

Ru Ke heard what Xiao Dongmei said and said with a smile: "Of course not, but this Ma Rui may not follow the rules. You can see that everyone at the scene is very dissatisfied with him."

Qin Xuehong said angrily: "In the final analysis, it is a lack of respect for Wang Qian. Curtis should expel him."

Qin Xuerong frowned and said worriedly, "They will chase him away later. They can't chase him away now. He didn't cause any trouble... I just don't know whether the poem he asked about was in Chinese or English! Do you understand English poetry?"

Qin Xuehong thought for a moment and said, "Reciting two poems is not a problem. But, asking me to analyze and write is impossible!"

Qin Xuehong told the truth.

The cultural gap is real.

Just like many Europeans and Americans do not understand the beauty of the Chinese language poetry.

Qin Xuehong also doesn’t understand the beauty of many European and American English poems.

As for the so-called analysis, she could only repeat other people's comments. She herself did not understand what there was to analyze about those words.

Taylor, Sophie and the others also frowned. It was the first time they hated someone so much.

…

Many viewers who were watching the incident in front of the TV were all stunned and shocked at this moment.

In European and American schools, it is not uncommon for some students to ask questions to teachers that are not related to the topic of the class. It is even common, but most of them are just making trouble or have a purpose. Most teachers will ignore them and will not answer them seriously. Those who say that teachers will happily answer them seriously are brainwashed by watching too much TV. In reality, this is impossible. Only a very small number of teachers will answer you seriously.

Those who say that teachers in the Lighthouse Country respect all students' ideas and personal interests are obviously brainwashed by the public intellectuals. Have you ever thought that students asking questions that are irrelevant to the class topic in class is itself disrespectful to the teacher and other students in the class?

What is this class? It's a music class.

Moreover, it is an open music class at Curtis, one of the most famous classical music schools in the world.

Moreover, this is not a music class for students, but a class of extremely high standard. Most of the students are famous performers and musicians, and the class is broadcast live in Europe and the United States.

Aren't people here serious about discussing music? Aren't people here supposed to be polite and not do anything excessive?

Many viewers in front of the TV could not understand Ma Rui's behavior.

There was also heated discussion on several major social media platforms.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

…

but!

on site.

Ma Rui looked at Wang Qian, listened to the voices of resistance against him, and remained calm. He stared at Wang Qian and said, "Mr. Wang Qian, I am a writer. I have written two novels, one of which became a bestseller, and I have also published a collection of poems. You are also a writer and a poet in China. I would like to ask you about literature and poetry. Is that okay?"

This time Wang Qian was certain that Ma Rui was here to cause trouble, and he had heard of this person's name, constantly making attacking remarks against him on social media.

My heart is as calm as water.

Wang Qian was not angry about this. He stood in front of the blackboard, looked at Ma Rui and said, "So, Mr. Ma Rui, what do you want to ask about poetry?"

The discussions at the scene quickly quieted down.

No one expected that Wang Qian would be so tolerant of Ma Rui.

Even if Wang Qian refused to answer and ignored Ma Rui now, most of them would support Wang Qian.

However, seeing Wang Qian really talking about literature and poetry with Ma Rui, many people became interested again...

Literature is also a major category of art!

People who like music and art usually have some attainments in literature and art, or are senior enthusiasts, so there will be nothing they don’t understand.

Max whispered, "I've read a collection of poems published by Ma Rui. There are two poems that are pretty good. They imitate classic works from a hundred years ago, adding some of his own ideas. His purely personal works are all bad. I don't admit that he is a poet. He is not qualified."

Obviously, in Max's eyes, Ma Rui is not yet a poet, or it can be said that he is not yet a literary artist, but only a writer. There is a clear and huge difference between the two.

Dawson, Kalman and others nodded in agreement with Max.

They are all people in the New York cultural circle, so naturally they are not unfamiliar with Ma Rui.

Only Ma Long did not understand this and remained silent. He looked at Wang Qian and whispered, "It is said that Wang Qian is a new literary talent in China. He is called a new generation literary master by many Chinese writers and is considered the best in the field of poetry. I don't know if it is true or not."

Everyone present knew Wang Qian's information very well, but most of them did not believe the information officially promoted by The Voice of China, and thought it was exaggerated.

What world-class classical music master, what world-class piano master, what Chinese literature master, what China's contemporary first poet, what China's new calligraphy master, what contemporary first calligrapher, etc....

It sounds like bragging to add to the halo. No one will believe it is true. Even the literary masters of the older generation may not have so much halo.

Dawson said softly, "I have seen a few Chinese poems he wrote. Taylor showed them to me. According to Taylor, they are excellent Chinese poems that have caused quite a stir in the Chinese literary world. Many people in China like his literary works very much. It's just that I don't quite understand them."

Malone: ​​"Oh? So, does he have any English literature?"

Ma Long didn't expect that Wang Qian was actually a successful literary artist in China.

Dawson thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. I haven't heard of it, nor have I seen it."

The people around stopped talking and looked at Wang Qian.

At this moment, Ma Rui looked at Wang Qian and said, "Mr. Wang Qian, the song "Lotus Goddess by the Water" you just played is very beautiful. It is obviously a song about love. And love is also an eternal theme in all art fields. I wrote a poem about love, and I would like you to appreciate it and give me some advice."

The scene was in uproar again! Everyone thought that Ma Rui just wanted to talk to Wang Qian about literature and poetry to embarrass him. After all, Wang Qian might not know anything about English literature.

but……

Unexpectedly, it was more difficult.

Ma Rui actually wanted to write a poem on the spot and let Wang Qian comment on it? This is a typical case of deliberately looking for trouble!

The people present were basically accomplished people in the field of art. Everyone knew that they could not understand literary works in different cultural fields. If you asked them to comment on a few Chinese poems, they would basically not understand anything. Even if some of them knew Hanzi, they did not understand the connotation and meaning of the poems and could not comment on them at all.

Putting themselves in other people's shoes, they felt that Wang Qian might not understand English poetry culture either! At that time, they couldn't tell!

Then, it would definitely be a big blow to Wang Qian.

Even though this is a very normal thing, and even though Wang Qian just demonstrated a historical level of piano playing, people may only remember his illiteracy in poetry...

Many people instantly understood Ma Rui's purpose! This was definitely a purposeful attack on Wang Qian.

In particular, it undermines the great achievement and honor brought by Wang Qian's performance just now.

Those who figured it out all looked at Ma Rui with strange eyes, wondering why Ma Rui was so against Wang Qian.

Max, Dawson, and Kalman looked at Ma Rui with great dissatisfaction.

Dawson even looked at Wang Qian and gave him a wink, indicating that Wang Qian could ignore Ma Rui.

However, Wang Qian smiled at Professor Dawson, and then said to Ma Rui loudly: "Of course, although today is a music exchange class, my topic is music. However, literature and art are also my hobbies. Mr. Ma Rui wants to talk to me about literature, and I welcome it. Then, please come to the stage, Mr. Ma Rui, and write your work. I am looking forward to it!"

No applause.

Amid the disgust and strange looks of some people.

Ma Rui walked out and walked towards the podium step by step. His eyes were full of absolute determination. He did not dare to look at the eyes of other people around him, but just walked towards the podium step by step.

Chinese visiting delegation.

He Chaohui said coldly: "This Ma Rui is a man of evil intentions and deserves death."

Yang Jiansen: "Professor Wang can ignore him!"

Several other professors and students were also discussing this indignantly.

This color is now on Ma Rui.

Everyone can see that Ma Rui's purpose is very impure.

Sophie and Taylor were both very angry.

Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Chen Xiaowen, Jiang Yu, Ru Ke, Xiao Dongmei, Murong Yue and others were frowning and worried, hoping that nothing would happen to Wang Qian.

Under everyone's gaze.

Ma Rui came to the podium and went straight to the blackboard. He said, "This is a poem I wrote three years ago when I was inspired. The theme is everlasting love. The title is, I Like Your White Hair. Please comment on it, Mr. Wang Qian."

Feeling the pressure from the audience, as well as some anger and dissatisfaction with himself, Ma Rui did not want to stay on the podium for too long. He just wanted to finish his work as quickly as possible and then step down. As soon as the exchange class was over, he would leave immediately and would not stay any longer. He was afraid of being criticized in person by some pure music artists, which would have a significant impact on his reputation if it got out.

As for the subsequent arguments? He was not afraid, it was just nonsense anyway! Wang Qian smiled lightly and said easily: "Okay, Mr. Ma Rui, please write it."

The scene fell silent again.

Everyone looked at Ma Rui's pen and the notes left on the blackboard.

English letters appeared on the blackboard one by one, English words were combined one by one, and sentences with great charm were written out one by one.

This is a very typical love poem.

Wang Qian took a quick look and translated the general meaning.

I like your white hair. I love you, your face, your black hair, everything about you... Even if you are old and have white hair, I still love you, your white hair...

Very disgusting! From Wang Qian's perspective, this poem is very ordinary. The idea may be good, but the writing method is simply a disaster.

However, Ma Rui wrote with great intoxication and was obviously immersed in it.

and!

There were also some voices praising Ma Rui from the audience.

An old musician in the second row said: "This poem is very good. With this work, Ma Rui can be regarded as a real poet."

Max nodded in agreement: "Yes, Ma Rui has made progress in poetry!"

Several others also expressed their praise.

Although he was dissatisfied with Ma Rui's behavior, Ma Rui was still his own man after all. Compared with Wang Qian, it was easier to praise Ma Rui.

After all, Ma Rui is a celebrity in the New York cultural circle. Many of them know Ma Rui and have had some interactions with him in private.

Squeak, squeak, squeak…

The sound of chalk rubbing against the blackboard.

Ma Rui quickly wrote the poem, looking very satisfied. He looked at Wang Qian with a proud look and said, "Mr. Wang Qian, what do you think of my poem?"

He thought - if you don't understand, just praise me as much as possible! Wang Qian frowned slightly.

He heard some praises around him and felt confused.

He felt that this poem was really very ordinary and common.

Why do others say it is a good work?

Is there something wrong with my aesthetic sense?

Wang Qian thought about it and decided to stick to his thoughts and feelings. He said softly, "I think your poem is very ordinary. In my eyes, it's even a disaster. If I wrote it, I would be embarrassed to show it because I don't want to embarrass myself."

Tell the truth!

Wang Qian's very straightforward words made the scene, which had just been a little noisy, quiet down again.

Obviously.

No one expected that Wang Qian would belittle Ma Rui's poem so much.

The smug expression on Ma Rui's face also froze, and he stared at Wang Qian with wide eyes.
