Chapter 305 Chapter 304. Still want to listen to my lecture? Come to Huaxia! The battle for Wang Qian will begin! (Subscribe)
Every pair of eyes looked at Wang Qian with a little desire and expectation!
Wang Qian had clearly stated that this was the last chance to ask questions and that he would not play again due to exhaustion! No one had any objection or doubt about this, and all they had was affirmation and the desire to seize this last opportunity to communicate with Wang Qian face to face.
Even many great artists in the front row were not immune and raised their hands.
Almost everyone in the audience raised their hands.
Wang Qian looked at the countless hands and said softly, "I didn't expect that so many people wanted to ask me questions. It seems that everyone has questions after listening to my class. However, time is limited, so I can only choose one person to ask questions, so..."
Wang Qian's eyes moved.
Many hands were raised as high as possible in an attempt to attract Wang Qian's attention.
but.
Wang Qian's eyes passed through the front row. He did not select any of the world's top artists, but passed them all, even passed the front and middle area, and came to the middle back. He looked at Christine who also raised her hand, pointed over there and said, "Christine, you go ahead and say it. I'm curious, what will Christine ask me!"
There was an uproar at the scene.
No one expected that Wang Qian would choose Christine to ask questions in the end.
Everyone knew that Kristen was at the scene. Everyone knew it from the beginning. After all, Kristen's status in the entertainment industry is super huge, and her popularity in Europe and the United States is almost one of the highest. No one at the scene didn't know her, even if many people didn't like her, they still knew her.
However, few people at the scene tried to get close to Christine.
This is because most of the people who came to the scene were classical music artists and classical music lovers, who were naturally repelled by a queen like Christine who had achieved success in the pop music scene.
So, except for a few music lovers who like pop music and some media figures at the scene who were very interested in Christine, no one else cared about Christine. Instead, they were very interested in the world's top music artists in the front row.
And now! Wang Qian actually ignored many music artists and chose a pop star as the final communication partner for this class.
This made many music artists at the scene slightly dissatisfied!
In their opinion, Christine had no right to stand up and speak here.
This is the classroom of Curtis Institute, where many music artists from around the world gather.
What right does a pop music queen have to speak?
Especially, this is the last chance to speak!
As soon as Christine stood up, she felt many unfriendly looks around her.
However, she has gotten used to it. She has taken classes and audited music at all the top music schools in North America. Many teachers and students at famous classical schools are very repulsive to her.
So, she simply ignored the many unfriendly looks, stood up, took the microphone handed to her by the staff, looked at Wang Qian, and asked, "Mr. Wang Qian, your class today is the best music class I have ever had in my life. I also want to continue to listen to your lectures in the future. May I ask, will you stay in North America in the future? Will I have more opportunities to listen to your lectures?"
Many people at the scene lit up their eyes after hearing what Christine said.
Although this is different from the questions that many music artists want to raise, it is not as superficial as they think pop music topics are! This is also a question that everyone is more concerned about! Wang Qian's musical talent and strength have been recognized by everyone at the scene! In time!
Everyone believes that Wang Qian has the potential to become a great music artist !
Can such a future great music artist stay in North America?
Can he integrate into the European and American music and art circles? Kalman, Dawson, Max, Hoffman, Malone, David, Terry and many other representatives from top European and American music schools all looked at Wang Qian expectantly.
They naturally hoped that Wang Qian could stay in North America, join their colleges, contribute to their development, and integrate all the achievements Wang Qian would make into their glory! The teachers and students from the three colleges of the Huaxia delegation were all very nervous.
They were all afraid that Wang Qian would agree to stay.
This is the shadow left in their hearts after seeing the choices made by the top talented students from several top universities in China.
However, Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Liu Shengnan, Chen Xiaowen, Ru Ke, Xiao Dongmei, Yu Jingruo, Li Qingyao and others all remained calm about this.
Because they all thought they knew Wang Qian very well and knew that there was no way Wang Qian would stay in North America no matter what.
Therefore, their expressions were all very calm.
Wang Qian, who was sitting on the podium, looked at Christine and said with a smile: "I am very happy to hear that you like my class. It means that my teaching is quite successful. However, if you want to continue to listen to my class in the future, you must come to Huaxia. Moreover, this requires fate. Because I have very little time to teach."
A hint of disappointment appeared in Kristen's eyes. She bowed slightly to Wang Qian and said solemnly, "Thank you. If I have the chance, I will go to Huaxia to listen to your lectures."
After saying that, Christine sat down again, ending the opportunity she had fought for to ask questions.
It wasn't that she didn't want to ask some questions about music.
But this was not the right place. This was the bastion of classical music, and she couldn't possibly ask about topics related to pop music.
So, with some inexplicable expectation in her heart, Christine wanted to ask Wang Qian if he could stay in North America! The answer was of course no!
Although she seemed calm when she sat down, Kristen actually felt very lost. She looked at Wang Qian on the podium, as if she felt that she had lost something! And Wang Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief! This class was finally over.
Sure enough, it is easier to deal with someone you know.
Wang Qian immediately said to everyone present with a smile on his face: "Thank you all for coming to my class today. I think this class should satisfy everyone. Now, I declare the get out of class over!"
A very simple summary in three words – get out of class is over!
it's over.
As he spoke, Wang Qian bowed slightly to everyone present.
Then……
Everyone at the scene spontaneously stood up again and gave their warmest applause to Wang Qian.
All the world's top music artists in the front row, as well as the wealthy and powerful art lovers in the back, all stood up and gave applause to Wang Qian.
Diana and other staff members of the program crew who were filming on the spot all put down their work and applauded along with everyone else, and transmitted this realistic scene to all the viewers around the world who were watching the live broadcast.
Diana looked at Wang Qian and took a deep breath.
This was a result she could never have imagined at the beginning.
but……
She had no objection to this result.
Even if something really happened between him and her, Diana didn't feel disgusted when she thought about it at the moment. Instead, she felt eager and expectant, and her eyes gradually became hot as she looked at Wang Qian.
"I have just finished a brief interview with Wang Qian..."
Diana heard the voice of the program director.
This class is about to end, which also means that this program is about to end.
However, the program team can still squeeze some value out of Wang Qian in the end and do a personal interview to satisfy the curiosity of all global viewers.
Diana clapped her hands vigorously and replied softly, "I know."
The applause continued for more than a minute before it stopped.
However, no one left. Instead, everyone stood beside their seats and looked at Wang Qian on the podium. Everyone was deeply impressed by the music that Wang Qian played and explained in this class. Thinking back on it now, they felt that it was worth savoring, so they were reluctant to leave for a moment.
Those musicians all wanted to continue listening to Wang Qian’s explanation of music.
The explanation, which almost went straight to the essence of musical art, brought benefits to each of the musicians.
Those music lovers wanted to continue listening to Wang Qian's live performances! Wang Qian's performances, whether piano, violin, or pipa, which many people heard for the first time, amazed everyone at the scene. They were all high-level artistic realms that they had never enjoyed at other performers' concerts! So, for a moment, the applause stopped and the scene returned to silence.
However, no one left. They just looked at the figure on the podium quietly.
Several cameras faithfully broadcast this scene again to the audiences watching the live broadcast in Europe and the United States.
All the viewers in front of the TV felt a little shocked at this moment, and once again deeply realized how high the level of Wang Qian's class was. There was no doubt that he conquered everyone present.
When the applause stopped, Wang Qian turned around, wanting to erase what he had written on the blackboard and finish the work.
but……
Everyone in the audience looked at Wang Qian with a look of pity, unwilling to see Wang Qian erase the notes and some explanations written on the blackboard.
The two hosts, Kalman and Dawson, took immediate action and both walked quickly to the podium at the same time.
Professor Dawson shouted directly: "Mr. Wang, no, no, no, don't wipe it!"
Professor Dawson was so excited that his voice stuttered.
Kalman also said: "Mr. Wang Qian, these are the scores you wrote when you first came to our Curtis to give a lecture. They are very commemorative and cannot be erased. Our college will preserve these blackboards intact and place them in the exhibition room of the piano department. You can see them every time you come to give a lecture in the future. All students who come to study in the Curtis piano department can also see them every day."
Uh! Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, put down the blackboard eraser, turned around and looked at Kalman and Dawson who had quickly walked behind him. He saw that no one at the scene had left and was standing there looking at him. He said with a strange look: "Mr. Kalman, Professor Dawson, I don't think what I wrote has any commemorative significance. I'm still alive!"
Wang Qian felt strange.
I am still alive, what is the meaning of commemorating it? These words are not Chinese calligraphy, and there is no value in observing them! It is just an ordinary music score and explanation text, all in English, what is there to commemorate? I am not dying, and this is not my last class...
Kalman and Dawson were stunned, and then quickly realized that Wang Qian had misunderstood.
Kalman immediately explained, "Mr. Wang Qian, please don't misunderstand me. I mean, this is your first lecture in North America, so it is very memorable. This is also your first lecture to the world, which has made the world recognize you, so the words you write here will be preserved by us, and it will become part of the history of our Curtis Piano Department."
Professor Dawson also explained: "Yes, that's it. It's an honor for our Curtis Piano Department."
If we say that before Wang Qian gave his lecture, they were still intending to test Wang Qian and were the ones holding the right to choose.
Now, both Dawson and Kalman thought that they and Curtis had benefited from Wang Qian's help. Now the initiative was in Wang Qian's hands. Perhaps this initiative had never been in their hands, but they thought they could take the initiative! Now the two of them thought that if Wang Qian achieved amazing results in the future, today's class would also become one of the glorious histories of the Curtis Institute's piano department.
Wang Qian nodded to the two of them, accepting their explanation. Then, looking at the people who were still there, he asked curiously, "Why aren't you guys going to rest? I'm tired!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Professor Dawson turned around and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Wang Qian's class has officially ended. You can go and rest."
At this time, many of the audience began to leave and head towards the exit.
but……
There were still many people who did not move, and their eyes were still looking towards Wang Qian.
Among them, Mars from Manhattan College held up an antique notebook in his hand and said loudly: "Mr. Wang Qian, can you sign it for me? I will keep it."
Elton also said loudly: "Yes, Mr. Wang Qian, I also want to keep a copy of your signature as a symbol of our listening to your class."
Many others echoed this.
"Mr. Wang Qian, please sign for me too."
"Mr. Wang Qian, your piano playing has impressed me. Please sign an autograph for me."
"Mr. Wang Qian, can you sign my violin?"
"Mr. Wang Qian, can you sign your name on that pipa? I want to buy it at a high price."
…
Many people who had not left the scene expressed their hope that Wang Qian would sign for them, including many famous art lovers, famous performers and artists, etc. Of course, many of the top artists in the front row did not even think about asking for Wang Qian's autograph.
Although Wang Qian's performance level was indeed higher than theirs, it was not enough for them to ask for his autograph like fans. In front of Wang Qian, they still believed that they had the advantage and background of seniority and age.
Most of the musicians who want to be signed are from the young and middle-aged generation. They live in an era of stagnation in classical music. They are also a confused generation of music artists who don’t know how to go forward in order to go higher and further.
Now, I dare not say that Wang Qian’s class pointed out the right path for them, but it did give them a lot of inspiration. At the same time, it allowed most people to have a deeper understanding of the art of music, making them less confused and more motivated to move forward!
so.
At this moment, they were all grateful to Wang Qian and deeply admired this young musician from China.
They all wanted to get a copy of Wang Qian's autograph to commemorate the class they attended, which might become a turning point in their musical career.
Many other famous music lovers were simply conquered and amazed by Wang Qian's performance skills. They all felt that Wang Qian might become the world's top music artist in the future. They wanted a signature now, which was an advance investment. When Wang Qian really became the world's top music artist in the future, the value of their current signature would be greatly increased.
Of course, none of them had ever thought of selling Wang Qian’s autograph. They just thought that it could highlight their status and position in the music and art world, and could also serve as material for them to brag about themselves.
As a result, more than a thousand people stayed where they were and looked at Wang Qian expectantly, hoping that Wang Qian would agree to sign an autograph for them!
Many people who were about to leave stopped when they heard the noise here, and looked at Wang Qian with shining eyes, and stayed to ask for an autograph.
Then, the scene that was about to leave suddenly came to a standstill again.
Thousands of people looked at Wang Qian...
Kalman and Dawson also looked at Wang Qian.
Dawson whispered, "Mr. Wang Qian, if you don't want to give them an autograph, just refuse it. We will send you out through the back door to rest now."
Kalman suggested, "Of course, if you are willing, Mr. Wang Qian, I suggest you stay and give out some autographs. This will help you improve your status as a music artist in Europe and America, and they will help you promote it."
Wang Qian thought about it, and seeing Mars, Elton, and Denzel looking at him eagerly, he said, "Then, please send someone to help me keep 500 people. This is the limit, no more, I'm very tired."
Dawson immediately said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
After that, Dawson turned around and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Wang Qian is too tired, but seeing that everyone wants his autograph so much, he promised to send autographs to 500 people on the scene, and then he needs to rest. Now, those who stayed at the beginning to get autographs, please come and line up. The first 500 people will stay, and the others can leave and rest first. I'm sorry, everyone!"
Obviously, everyone could see that there were at least a thousand people who wanted autographs at the scene, plus many people who stayed behind and didn't leave, so there were at least two or three thousand people.
Therefore, only 500 places seem very few.
However, no one was unhappy about it.
Everyone knew that Wang Qian was really tired in this class.
They all enjoyed the several high-level performances of several instruments very much, but they also knew that the performer Wang Qian must be very tired.
Mars, Elton, Denzel and others reacted quickly. Since they had stayed at the beginning, they were closest to the front and immediately walked to the front to line up.
Christine thought about it and walked to the front to line up, thinking that it would be nice if she could get an autograph from Wang Qian.
A team quickly extended from the podium to the back!
Five hundred people, and the line was full in just ten seconds.
Everyone who comes here is a person of status and position, so they all want to save face and no one cuts in line or makes a scene.
When the people behind saw that the place was full of 500 people, they felt very sorry and left on their own accord.
The camera realistically broadcast this scene to the world again.
Many viewers in front of the TV were shocked by this scene.
They could all recognize that among those who wanted Wang Qian’s autograph, there were many famous musicians they knew, top successful people in other industries, and even some famous wealthy people in North America!
At this moment, these people are queuing up like fans, waiting for Wang Qian's autograph.
Kalman immediately arranged for people to maintain order and announced a message to the public: "After this class, our Curtis Institute Piano Department will formally invite Mr. Wang Qian to become a professor in our Piano Department. Regardless of whether Mr. Wang Qian has time to give lectures at the institute in the future, we will always retain his professorship."
Originally, they wanted to announce the news on Curtis’ official website after this class.
However, Kalman thought about it and decided to announce it here. With live TV broadcast, it can be spread more widely, increase Wang Qian's popularity, and make it easier for Wang Qian to agree.
After all, they were just sending out an invitation, and they didn't know whether Wang Qian would agree or not.
Before, they might have thought that inviting Wang Qian to be a professor at Curtis was giving Wang Qian face, but now, they are afraid that Wang Qian will not agree.
When many people who were leaving the venue heard the news, they turned around in surprise and looked at Kalman and Wang Qian who was sitting down to sign autographs!
Piano professor at Curtis Institute?
Only thirty years old?
Or a Chinese? What? Mr. Wang Qian? Oh...
That's all right! Hoffman, who was also from Curtis College but was from the Orchestra Department, immediately said loudly: "Our Curtis Orchestra Department has also formally invited Mr. Wang Qian to serve as the violin professor of the Orchestra Department..."
The scene suddenly became quiet!
Many audience members who were leaving the venue stopped and looked forward.
Max, Malone, David, Terry and others who had remained silent just now, all became restless after seeing Kalman and Hoffman’s direct and public invitation…
