Chapter 300 299. Eastman wants to rob people? How dare he? (Subscribe)
The lecture scene suddenly became silent.
Terry's last words brought silence back to the scene.
Today's class didn't last very long, just over an hour, but sudden silence occurred too many times.
This was very different from the classes others had taken with some of the top artists.
Even in open classes taught by the top artist professors from the top classical music schools, it is very difficult to create a scene that silences everyone in the audience. If this happens once in a class, it is considered a great success!
Because it can silence everyone present.
This means that what the lecturer said or demonstrated shocked everyone present, and they fell silent for a moment, speechless.
But today, in Wang Qian's class, such an atmosphere and scene is almost the norm.
Almost everything Wang Qian did at every moment would make all of them remain silent and not dare to make a sound to disturb him.
It seems that they have no right to speak! However.
This time, the reason for their silence was not because of Wang Qian, but because of what Terry said! Everyone looked at Terry.
Even Malone, Max, and Curtis College landlords Dawson and Kalman turned their heads and stared at Terry, and there seemed to be some unfriendly looks in their eyes.
With the intelligence of these old guys, how could they not see the trick in Terry's words?
Many others were shocked that Terry's words were almost equivalent to a bet with Wang Qian, but the final condition he gave was to invite Wang Qian to be a professor in the Composition Department of the Eastman School of Music?
They were all very shocked at first.
You know, Eastman School has just become the world's top classical music school, surpassing three neighboring top classical music schools: Juilliard, Curtis, and Manhattan.
Every professor at Eastman College is a world-class music artist.
Once Wang Qian becomes a professor at the Eastman School of Music, his status and position in the field of European and American music and art will immediately change. No one will have any doubts about him anymore. Everyone will show respect for him and will completely accept Wang Qian as a top artist in the European and American art circles.
and!
Wang Qian is too young.
Just thirty years old.
There has never been such a young professor at Eastman College!
Not only Eastman School, but also the other three top universities, Juilliard, Curtis, and Manhattan, have never had such a young professor of music and arts.
Art itself is an existence that requires a great deal of time accumulation.
This is not like some scientific research, where a scientist may suddenly have a flash of inspiration and create results that shock the world.
Every artist in history became famous relatively late. Those who became the world's top artists were generally very old, at least over 40 years old. Most of them became the world's top artists after the age of 50 or 60. There were also very few artists who were mediocre during their lifetime, and only after their death did their works become top works of art, and they were posthumously named as master-level artists.
Wang Qian...
At the age of thirty, one is almost just entering the art field.
Even if! Just now, Wang Qian showed his strength and background that is not inferior to the world's top artists.
But now, when everyone thinks about it, they still feel that Wang Qian is too young.
If you become a professor at a world-class classical music school at the age of 30, it would be really out of place to stand together with the old guys from those top schools.
But Dawson, Kalman, Max, Malone, David and others saw Terry's deeper thoughts!
Robbing people.
Yes, they all saw it.
Terry is here to rob people.
Want to get Wang Qian to Eastman College.
Terry got up to pick a fight just to talk to Wang Qian, and then used the bet to kidnap Wang Qian to the Composition Department of Eastman College.
even if!
Wang Qian was unable to demonstrate his on-the-spot creative abilities as Terry required.
Terry would never really do anything against Wang Qian, but would continue to invite Wang Qian and act respectful to him.
because.
Even if Wang Qian can't prove anything.
The strength and background he has shown before, as well as the many original and excellent works he has created, can be said to be unique in the field of music and art in the world! Putting aside the prejudices of age and race.
Dawson and Kalman even thought that it was not an exaggeration to say that Wang Qian was now the number one in the world of classical music! At least, in the three major musical art fields of piano, violin, and composition, all pianists, violinists, and composers in the field of contemporary classical music could not match the strength and achievements that Wang Qian had already achieved.
However, Dawson and Kalman only thought about this idea in their hearts and did not dare to say it out loud.
Because once they say it, they know that they will definitely be strongly resisted and opposed by the entire European and American music and art field, and they themselves may also be hostile to many European and American artists! No one is willing to admit that a young Chinese person has surpassed them.
Dawson and Kalman could even imagine that the audiences who were shocked by Wang Qian's performances today might not say a word about Wang Qian's performance today after they left. Even if it had been broadcast live on TV all over the world, these music artists and critics would not express affirmation and support for Wang Qian's performance, but they could not lie with their eyes open to belittle Wang Qian, so everyone's choice might be silence.
so.
Dawson and Kalman both believe that other top music schools may not take any action on Wang Qian in the short term and may wait and see, and this is the opportunity for Curtis Institute.
They didn't expect it.
Terry from Eastman College actually used a trick to recruit Wang Qian.
Moreover, right there, in this class, right inside Curtis College, he wanted to snatch someone away right before their eyes!
This made Dawson, Kalman, Hoffman and other people from Curtis Institute very dissatisfied.
Kalman looked at Terry and said seriously in public: "Terry, you shouldn't do this."
Terry said to Kalman calmly, "Mr. Kalman, this is a conversation between me and Mr. Wang Qian. I don't think you have any right to interfere, right? Could it be that Curtis College wants to protect him?"
Kalman was suddenly speechless.
Wang Qian looked at Terry and said, "Indeed, this is a conversation between Mr. Terry and me. But, I'm sorry, Mr. Terry, I have no interest in becoming a professor at Eastman College. Eastman College is indeed the world's top classical music school, but I'm sorry, it has no appeal to me."
"Because, I don't think Eastman College is going to help me."
The silent scene was in uproar! "God, does he know what he is talking about?"
"He actually publicly disparaged Eastman College. He has no right to do so."
"Who does he think he is?"
"He hasn't proven himself yet. He's not even qualified to go to Eastman College, and yet you're rejecting him? That's unreasonable!"
"He's just an idiot."
…
There was also a low-pitched discussion among the Chinese delegation.
"The people at Eastman College are targeting Professor Wang."
"To prove it on the spot, to create a piece of music according to what he said, and to meet his requirements, this is asking too much, who can do it?"
"Terry is deliberately making things difficult for Professor Wang."
Some teachers and students felt sorry for Wang Qian.
However, He Chaohui, Peng Donghu and Yang Jiansen noticed something.
Peng Donghu said softly: "This Terry may have some ideas about Professor Wang and want to bring Professor Wang to Eastman."
Yang Jiansen said worriedly, "I think it might be possible. But Professor Wang has already refused."
He Chaohui: "With the musical strength and background that Professor Wang has shown, I think no prestigious school can resist his appeal. Maybe in a few days, several top prestigious schools will extend exchange invitations to Professor Wang, just like Curtis did today, and then they will invite Professor Wang to teach in the name of music exchange!"
They have used this kind of routine before.
So, they are all familiar!
But now they all have a sense of crisis.
Wang Qian is the hope for the rise of Chinese classical music in their hearts.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
They don't want Wang Qian to be retained by these famous classical music schools, as that would be a major blow to the entire Chinese classical music field.
Yang Jiansen whispered, "Professor Wang just rejected Hoffman's cooperation. He probably won't accept invitations from top European and American universities. At most, he might be like us, just a name on the list and not accept any restrictions!"
He Chaohui smiled and said, "That's true. He can't possibly tie himself to one place."
After thinking about it, they realized that it was indeed the case.
Given Wang Qian's personality and behavior, he is absolutely willing to give up everything for freedom.
It's impossible to give up freedom and stay here! The people from the three schools all relaxed a lot, and then looked at Wang Qian worriedly again, worried about whether Wang Qian could survive Terry's aggressiveness.
Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong, Liu Shengnan, Chen Xiaowen, Xiao Dongmei and others.
Sophie, Taylor, Miyuki Nakamori, Maou Chiba and others all looked at Wang Qian worriedly, and occasionally looked at Terry, the world's top composer from Eastman College, with dissatisfaction.
Terry looked at Wang Qian seriously and said, "Mr. Wang Qian, I think it's a little too early for you to refuse. Because you haven't proved yourself yet. Besides, it would be an honor for you if you could get an invitation from Eastman College!"
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Can I reject you after I get the invitation?"
Terry thought about it and nodded: "Of course. However, I still have to tell you again that if you can get an invitation from Eastman College, it must be your honor. If you refuse, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Wang Qian said calmly, "Maybe, I don't think so. Well, now, Mr. Terry, tell me, how do you want me to prove it? Or, what do you want to ask me to create on the spot?"
The scene was once again filled with a buzz of discussion.
Many people's faces flushed with excitement and they excitedly discussed it with people around them.
"Oh my god, he actually agreed!"
"How is it possible to create a piece of music on the spot according to Mr. Terry's requirements? What if Mr. Terry's requirements are difficult?"
"No matter what the requirements are, if you want to create a relatively complete song with a certain degree of artistic quality, it takes a lot of time and thinking. It is impossible to create it on the spot in such a short time. It is absolutely impossible."
"He is so bold to agree to such a request."
"If it were me, I would definitely refuse. Even if Terry used this to belittle me later, I would scold him back. If he has the ability, he can do it himself!"
"If he really does it, then I will be convinced and I will become his fan!"
"He definitely can't do that."
…
There was a heated discussion in low voices.
Almost everyone thought that Wang Qian shouldn't agree to it, because it was absolutely impossible! The difficulty of writing on the spot and freely creating on your own is not at the same level, not to mention that the one who asked the question was a world-class artist like Terry, which was simply hellish difficulty.
Even Taylor, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, and Maou Chiba were all worried. They all felt that this kind of thing was too difficult, and even for people with great musical talent, it would be difficult to do it.
Liu Shengnan, Chen Xiaowen, Ru Ke, Xiao Dongmei, Li Qingyao, Yu Jingruo and others were silent and very nervous. They didn't know what they were thinking! Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong looked at Wang Qian with trust in their eyes. They believed that Wang Qian could do what he said.
Kalman, Dawson, Max, Malone and others looked at Wang Qian with a little disappointment, thinking that Wang Qian had been provoked to the point of losing some of his rationality, which was why he agreed to such an unreasonable and impossible request.
They thought that Wang Qian didn't need to prove anything and could just ignore Terry.
However, thinking about it the other way around, this also proves that Wang Qian is a young man.
After the heated discussion, the atmosphere on the scene returned to silence again.
Pairs of eyes looked at Wang Qian and Terry again, full of anticipation and excitement.
This kind of scene is what all the audience at the scene and in front of the TV want to see.
Conflict brings excitement!
Terry also heard the discussions around him, and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at Wang Qian with confidence and pride, and said softly: "Young man, if you admit now that you lied just now, I can give up what I just said. Moreover, I will still invite you on behalf of the Composition Department of Eastman College to be a professor in the Composition Department."
Terry's words made Kalman, Dawson, Max, Malone and others, as well as He Chaohui, Yang Jiansen, Peng Donghu and others from China all have expressions of "as expected"!
They all guessed Terry's purpose and means, and Terry's words proved that their guess was correct.
This guy is here to rob people.
However, Wang Qian shook his head and said, "No, I told you, this doesn't appeal to me. Just tell me what you want!"
Terry stared at Wang Qian: "Are you sure?"
Wang Qian also looked at Terry and answered affirmatively: "I'm sure!"
Terry's expression also became serious and cold, and he said in a slightly indifferent tone: "Then I'll ask a question!"
Wang Qian held out his hand: “Please!”
Terry looked at Wang Qian and said, "Then I'll really set a question! What are your requirements? For example, do you want to limit the scope and subject matter? What musical instruments should be used?"
The scene fell silent again, and a little tense.
Everyone seemed to be watching a duel between two top masters. Every move was filled with murderous intent, making the spectators around them dare not blink, for fear of missing out on the exciting scene.
Wang Qian was still confident and calm. He looked at Terry and said calmly, "I don't have any requests. You can make any request you want, Mr. Terry. You can make any request you want as long as you want."
Hiss! There was a sound of people sucking in their breath.
The heating effect is better than that of central air conditioning, and it seems that the temperature on the scene has risen by several degrees in an instant.
All the eyes were wide open, looking at Wang Qian in disbelief! This time, even some top artists couldn't keep calm, staring at Wang Qian with eyes wide open, full of shock and disbelief.
Kalman, Dawson, Malone, Max, David, Murphy and others all stared at Wang Qian with wide eyes.
At this moment, everyone wanted to ask Wang Qian a question: "How dare you?"
