The atmosphere is a little lively!

However, not many people are talking!

After all, there are so many people, and everyone has their own inner pride and reserve.

Xiao Dongmei took a sip from the teacup, giving face to the host, then stood up and said goodbye: "Professor Wang, Xuerong, I'm going back first. I came here with Director Yang and others, and I will go back with them tomorrow. The class you gave today was very exciting. I will definitely be there when you come back to China to give a lecture at the Central Conservatory of Music next time."

Wang Qian smiled: "Thank you."

Qin Xuerong: "Dongmei, please sit for a while. I'll ask the hotel to cook. Let's eat together later."

Xiao Dongmei shook her head gently: "No, thank you, goodbye."

Xiao Dongmei nodded gently to everyone, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised as a smile to show her greeting, and then she turned around and said goodbye.

then!

Liu Shengnan also said goodbye, stood up and hugged Qin Xuerong, and said, "Then I'll leave too. Today is my first time going abroad to see the world. I won't have dinner. You can treat me to dinner when I return home."

Wang Qian smiled and said, "Okay, when we get back to China, I'll treat you to a meal at my hot pot restaurant. You'll be full."

Liu Shengnan looked at Wang Qian and smiled, then waved to Chen Xiaowen, Ru Ke and the others, then turned and left.

Yu Jingruo and Li Qingyao also said goodbye together. Li Qingyao still didn't say anything, but just smiled at Wang Qian.

Yu Jingruo just said: "After the New Year, our class will have a reunion, all of whom are classmates who graduated from the same class at Beijing Film Academy. If you have time, you can come and participate. The venue is in Beijing."

Wang Qian looked at Yu Jingruo and Li Qingyao, nodded and said, "We'll see about the specific time then. If I happen to be in Beijing, I'll go and have a seat."

Yu Jingruo nodded, smiled at Qin Xuerong, and left with Li Qingyao.

Li Qingyao didn't say a word the whole time, and even deliberately reduced her presence, hiding behind a few people most of the time.

Wang Qian did not take the initiative to talk to her. He watched the two of them leave, then looked at Ru Ke and Chen Xiaowen who were left and said, "Xiao Wen, Ru Ke, you two should stay and have dinner together."

Chen Xiaowen didn't care about it. She had been with Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong in the past few days anyway, so she agreed.

Ru Ke thought about it and agreed.

After leaving the national team and officially starting to play rock music, Ru Ke gradually became more casual, and in private she seemed to have turned into a free and lively little girl. She said with a smile, "Of course that's good. I plan to play for a longer time this time. I'm going to Los Angeles directly tomorrow and plan to watch your performance at the World Championships, Professor Wang, before returning."

Wang Qian agreed, "Okay, I'll ask Director Zhou to get you a ticket with a good seat."

Ru Ke did not refuse: "Then it's settled. Thank you, Professor Wang."

Wang Qian smiled: "How is the preparation of your new album going?"

Ru Ke tilted her head and thought for a while: "Let's pause for now. The New Year is coming soon, I'll let them all rest and go home for the New Year."

Qin Xuerong: "Then you won't be at home for the New Year?"

Ru Ke sighed: "I don't dare to stay at home."

Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong and Chen Xiaowen all understood.

They are all from the Beijing circle, and they all know Ru Ke’s background, so they know the pressure Ru Ke is facing now.

Ru Ke left the national team to play rock music and participate in talent shows, which was definitely a rebellious choice in the eyes of her family.

If she can lead the team to win the championship, and then represent China's Voice in the world competition and get a good ranking, maybe her family will change their attitude and support her a little. After all, that would be glory for the country.

However, she only won the runner-up in the Chinese region. Although her popularity increased explosively and she became a super star, she could easily make a lot of money.

However, in the eyes of her family, it is still not the best choice. They just don’t express their opposition so obviously, but their attitude in their hearts and on their faces has not changed much.

So, Ru Ke simply didn't stay at home and ran away!

Wang Qian smiled and didn't know what to say about Ru Ke's family affairs. He just said, "Then you can relax in North America. Maybe you can get some inspiration."

Ru Ke also slumped down on the sofa and leaned against Chen Xiaowen: "I'm just here to play."

Chen Xiaowen nodded: "Me too."

The hotel delivered the food quickly.

The term "meal" is just Qin Xuerong's habitual Chinese name for it, it is actually Western food.

This hotel is a typical old-fashioned Western hotel. It has been open for decades next to Curtis Institute. Of course, it can't serve Chinese food, but the Western food it serves is pretty good.

However, as a person with a very traditional Chinese stomach, Wang Qian is not very interested in Western food. He cannot taste the beauty of it and can only regard it as a way to fill his stomach!

After dinner.

Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong sent Ru Ke, Chen Xiaowen and Qin Xuehong out.

Finally, the couple was the only ones left in the room! They both felt exhausted today, so they washed up and prepared to go to bed! However, Qin Xuerong's heart was not so calm. The scene of Xiao Dongmei, Ru Ke, Yu Jingruo, Li Qingyao and so many others coming together kept appearing in her mind.

She is not stupid, she just doesn't want to think too much.

She knew why so many outstanding goddess-level women gathered around Wang Qian! However, she did not forcefully intervene.

She felt that she understood Wang Qian. As long as she devoted all her heart to him, he would never let her down! She threw away the messy thoughts in her mind.

Qin Xuerong took the initiative to climb onto Wang Qian and decided to do her best to do what she should do!

Wang Qian also became interested and let Qin Xuerong show off! The two played for more than an hour before they were too tired to move and fell asleep in each other's arms.

…

While Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong were resting.

The world will not stop turning all together.

On several major social media platforms in Europe and the United States, most of the discussion keywords are still related to Wang Qian.

Many media outlets are also frantically competing to grab the traffic from Wang Qian.

Photos of Wang Qian giving lectures and attending banquets were released one after another, and various self-media outlets were frantically commenting on them! One self-media outlet said, "According to an insider, Curtis promised Wang Qian that while he would serve as a professor, he would not have to take on any mandatory teaching tasks, and his annual salary would be over a million dollars. This is totally unreasonable. He can get such a high salary without having to work. Isn't this a waste of the college's funds?"

Such remarks received a lot of likes and support from people.

After all, Wang Qian is just a new outsider, and many people still look down on Wang Qian from the bottom of their hearts. However, he didn't have many black spots that could lead the trend before, so many people could only suppress their dissatisfaction.

Now that such remarks have been made, many people who are dissatisfied with Wang Qian immediately liked and expressed their support.

only……

Someone immediately retorted: "With Professor Wang Qian's talent, holding a position at Curtis would already be an honor for Curtis. Moreover, Professor Wang Qian repeatedly refused, and it was Curtis who insisted on Professor Wang Qian's agreement. Have you forgotten how many colleges competed for Professor Wang Qian at that time? All the top music schools competing for Professor Wang Qian were willing to offer the same conditions as Curtis Institute. Are they all fools? Obviously, they are not fools. Only those who think they are fools are really fools."

Such relatively objective words also received a lot of likes and support from people who support Wang Qian.

After all, Wang Qian won everyone's respect and recognition with his talent and strength, rather than relying purely on hype and fame.

Therefore, most rational people still agree with it.

but!

When it was said that Wang Qian's calligraphy artwork was bought for five million US dollars, many people expressed their incomprehension.

"Can the Chinese characters he wrote be sold for so much money? I don't believe it. Did he deliberately find someone to brag about it?"

"The Voice of China officially introduced him as a literary artist, which I doubted. However, it seems to be true now. However, even if he is a literary artist, his works can't be so valuable, right? He is so young!"

"It may be that those art dealers are deliberately hyping it up. The next step may be to auction his works in order to sell them at a high price. I have seen this routine before."

"You think too much. There are only a few of Professor Wang's works in the whole of China. There are no extra ones to be auctioned in North America!"

…

An article published publicly by Elton from Manhattan College on Facebook became popular and attracted a lot of attention.

Because Elton directly gave the title - Wang Qian, the King of Piano!

It's hard not to be attractive with a title like this.

Elton said in his article with a slightly excited tone: "At first, I had no interest in Professor Wang Qian's lecture at Curtis. I have played his music and watched his piano performance in Los Angeles. However, I do not think he is qualified to give us lectures at Curtis."

"But when I saw him claiming to be the king of piano, I came here. I wanted to expose his true colors in class and let him know that he doesn't deserve to be called the king of piano."

"But after taking Professor Wang Qian's class, I have already accepted his title as the King of Piano. I watched and listened to his piano performance up close. I can swear on my own career that his piano performance is the most beautiful live performance I have ever heard."

"I have listened to live concerts of all the top ten pianists, but none of them can match Professor Wang Qian in terms of performance expression. His music has been completely interpreted through instruments into clear and clear pictures. Listening to his music, I feel like I am watching a complete and detailed movie."

“This is an incredibly wonderful music listening experience.”

Elton highly praised Wang Qian's piano playing as a professional, without mentioning Wang Qian's violin and pipa playing skills because that was not his major.

Moreover, Elton was the first European and American pianist to publicly acknowledge that Wang Qian was the king of piano.

Therefore, his speech caused quite a stir.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Many masters in the field of piano have expressed their incomprehension and opposition to Elton.

"Elton, that's just your own opinion. I don't think he is the king of piano. No one can be the king of piano."

"It was just one lesson. He just played a few pieces. He is not qualified to be called the King of Piano. Has he ever had a solo concert? Has he ever had a world tour? Has he ever held a solo concert in the Golden Hall? He has nothing. He only performed in public twice. How dare he call himself the King of Piano? Elton, have you been drugged by him?"

"Have you given up your own pride, Elton?"

…

Many music artists who have heard Wang Qian perform live at Curtis also agree with this.

Professor David publicly supported Elton: "I listened to Professor Wang Qian's lecture at Curtis's lecture site. He is the most talented musician I have ever seen. Although he has not had a successful world concert and is still young, his understanding and achievements in music are almost unique in the world and he is ahead of all of us. The only thing he lacks now is a successful large-scale performance. However, sooner or later, he will have a successful world performance, and I am looking forward to it."

…

Denzel said: "The King of Piano? Perhaps, he can also be called the King of Violin. His violin performance is also the best live performance I have ever heard. The clear and incomparable musical expression is simply the ultimate embodiment of art. He successfully broke the prejudice in my heart against him with his strength and music. Now I even admire him a little. I am very much looking forward to his first official music concert, which will not be piano, but violin!"

…

Mars said publicly: "You only discuss his instrumental performance. Have you forgotten his amazing creative talent? In one class, he published several new works? The Goddess of Luo River by the Water, Exodus, Liang Zhu, and the unique Chinese instrument Pipa, Ambush from All Sides, each piece is an absolutely excellent work. After decades of stagnation in the development of classical instrumental music, he has used his creative talent to raise the standard of our contemporary music to a higher level."

…

Many music artists who watched Wang Qian's lectures in person have publicly expressed their praise and support for Wang Qian.

They really couldn't find any fault with Wang Qian!

His musical talent and strength were beyond their imagination, and even his personality made them admire him, as there was no black spot that could lead to trouble.

Most of the music artists on the scene even have some admiration and worship for Wang Qian.

While everyone was still discussing Wang Qian, the Voice of China program team began to quietly make efforts to further bring several other contestants to the social platform, taking advantage of Wang Qian's popularity and starting to warm up and promote the first official competition performance that was about to begin.

The names of contestants such as Sophie, Adam, Elizabeth, Miyuki Nakamori and others appeared one by one.

…

At the same time, on China's social platforms, discussions about Wang Qian became more numerous and lively. After all, this is Wang Qian's home turf.

The number of followers on Weibo has further increased, and the speed of increase is still terrifying. It is approaching the 70 million mark. It is likely to break 70 million followers tomorrow, once again raising the upper limit of the fan base in the entertainment industry.

Open any social platform or news pop-up window, and you will find that the homepage is basically full of news related to Wang Qian, and Wang Qian's name can be seen everywhere.

In the Chinese media sector, Wang Qian is the naked code for wealth. He can reap considerable rewards by simply taking advantage of the popularity.

On Weibo, the most popular news was the official news released by The Voice of China: "CCTV and Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV will broadcast the entire lecture of Professor Wang at the Curtis Institute of Music at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Welcome everyone to watch! Professor Wang's class almost represents the highest level of our Chinese musicians in the field of world music."

The Voice of China official gave Wang Qian a very high evaluation for this class.

Many of Wang Qian’s fans were overjoyed when they saw this news.

Everyone was aroused by the videos and live photos carried by the self-media, which aroused strong curiosity and national pride. Of course, they were extremely eager to see the whole process of Wang Qian giving lectures at Curtis and shocking the entire European and American music and art world.

It’s a pity that the videos transferred by self-media are fragmented and not complete at all.

Now CCTV and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV will broadcast the full version during prime time tomorrow.

Hundreds of millions of viewers across China are excited and looking forward to it.

"I can finally see the full version. Professor Wang is so majestic and powerful."

“It’s like seeing those European and American foreigners who look like they’ve never seen the world.”

"The part where Professor Wang played the pipa was so cool that many foreigners were so amused that their mouths widened. I laughed to death at that scene."

"I really wish it was broadcast right now. Time passes so slowly."

"Did you see that? Someone in North America offered five million dollars to buy a piece of calligraphy by Professor Wang. That's US dollars. It's absolutely a sky-high price."

"Oh my god, five million dollars?"

…

Many people saw the news in the video shared by self-media that someone offered five million US dollars to buy a calligraphy piece by Wang Qian.

Some self-media immediately jumped in to take advantage of the hype, analyzing, "This North American tycoon is definitely an expert with a keen eye for investment. Professor Wang's calligraphy works are in very good demand. Do you know what the price of the "Xia Ke Xing" that Professor Wang wrote in public during his last lecture at Shuangxing is? Someone in China has offered a high price of 20 million, but the person cannot be contacted at all, and Liu Shengnan has no chance of selling it. This "Xia Ke Xing" has a very special meaning, representing Wang Qian's declaration before leaving for North America to participate in the competition, and the work itself is also the pinnacle of Professor Wang's artistic level at the time. Therefore, whether it is the connotation or the calligraphy art itself, it is the pinnacle of the time, so it is not surprising that it is priced at 20 million."

"Now, Professor Wang has caused a sensation as soon as he appeared in North America, and then he gave lectures at the Curtis Institute to establish his reputation and conquer the entire North American music and art circle. This time also has extremely special significance. Professor Wang's first calligraphy work in North America at this time also has special representative significance. This has the intrinsic value behind it. Coupled with the bonus of Professor Wang's calligraphy art level, the five million dollars can only be said to be good value for money, and it is not particularly outrageous."

"In terms of value, Professor Wang can be said to be the one whose works are the most valuable among all the living artists in the world today, bar none!"

The analysis of this self-media immediately became a hot news in a short period of time.

Many people were shocked by his analysis.

Someone in China offered 20 million to buy The Knight-errant? This is something many people don’t know.

It was only at this time that many people began to face up to the artistic value and market conditions of Wang Qian's calligraphy works.

Many people were extremely envious of the few people who won the lottery held by Wang Qian on Weibo and actually got heirloom-level treasures.

but……

Today is obviously a time when news keeps exploding.

Another self-media outlet published Wang Qian's song download results in North America, as well as screenshots of his rankings, which once again drew many people's attention.

After all, The Voice of China World Championship is Wang Qian’s main purpose for going to North America, and it is also the performance event that everyone is most looking forward to.

Wang Qian's current data and ranking shocked many of the audience members who were attracted by Curtis' lecture before...

seem!

A lot of them are missing something.
