Chapter 396 395. Two historical geniuses? Wang Qian appears again! (Subscribe)

Even Qin Xuerong, who was sitting next to Wang Qian, couldn't help but flash a look of amazement in her eyes, staring at the TV screen and whispered: "Sophie is really beautiful."

Jiang Yu's eyes did not leave the figure on the TV screen. He nodded and said, "Well, in terms of appearance on this stage, she is undoubtedly the first. However, her talent is second only to Professor Wang. This song sounds good. Although I don't understand what she is singing in French, it feels good. The music sounds soothing and pleasant, like a folk song style, especially her singing is really beautiful."

Juliet said admiringly: "I have heard of Sophie's name when I was in Europe. Many people praised her as the first musical genius in France. I used to be a little unconvinced by her, but now it seems that she may be better than me."

Juliet thought that she was no worse than Sophie in classical music, especially in piano.

However, Sophie has not only reached the world's top level in piano, but also has such extraordinary understanding and achievements in the field of pop music.

This is extremely rare in the entire history of music development. It is almost non-existent to achieve world-class achievements in two major fields at the same time.

And now! Two of them appeared at the same time on this talent show stage.

A Wang Qian.

A Sophie! Although, Sophie's real strength level is still far from Wang Qian's.

After all, Wang Qian's piano and violin skills are recognized by the world's top ten performers, and are not inferior to world-class masters. His pop music has even broken records and created amazing sales records.

The achievements in the two major areas are no longer world-class, but have reached historical levels.

World-class is compared with the masters in the world today, while historical-class is compared with the masters who have left their names in the entire history of music.

This is the first person to do this in the history of music development.

Although Sophie is not as good as Wang Qian, she has also demonstrated the potential to achieve this and has initially achieved world-class achievements in both fields.

Born into a family of classical music, his piano skills have reached world-class standards, and he also has outstanding attainments in classical instruments such as the violin.

At the same time, she has also achieved extraordinary achievements in pop music, almost catching up with Kristen, the previous world's number one queen, which is definitely a great success.

In the view of many industry insiders.

In time!

It was almost inevitable that Sophie would reach the pinnacle in both fields at the same time.

Or, in the eyes of many people who do not have high demands, Sophie has already stood at the top of both classical and popular music, and has proven herself enough to go down in history.

Wang Qian looked at Sophie on TV. It was impossible for him not to be moved by her fairy-like appearance and temperament. He was looking forward to meeting Sophie after the performance.

Wang Qian really likes this song.

This is a truly homegrown historical genius.

Wang Qian had a little admiration for Sophie in his heart.

At the scene! The whole place was also extremely quiet.

No one expected that Sophie would sing a French song on such an important semi-final stage.

Although French is a language that is widely used in Europe and America, it is not mainstream after all. In this kind of performance stage that is open to the whole world, many audiences cannot understand French.

In particular, most of the audience at the scene could not understand French.

This will reduce the recognition of Sophie's performance, which is a taboo for competition performances.

However! French is called the most beautiful language in the world by many European and American writers and linguists, so in their opinion, French itself is very nice to hear.

Basically all best-selling books in Europe and America have French versions.

Many ordinary people in Europe and America have a good foundation in French.

Coupled with Sophie's heavenly voice, the relaxing folk music melody, and the self-narrating singing style, many people were mesmerized by the song.

certainly……

The most amazing thing was Sophie's fresh and natural look tonight, which made her look like a fairy. Many people couldn't take their eyes off her.

Adam, who had not yet left the backstage, stood there staring at Sophie in a daze.

Jennifer also stood nearby and looked at Sophie's figure, feeling a little envious.

Such a Sophie makes Jennifer, who is always confident, feel a little inferior.

She thought that she was not much inferior to Sophie in terms of absolute appearance, but what she lacked was the artistic and aristocratic temperament that came from deep in her bones.

And this is precisely what cannot be easily achieved.

Jennifer was born into a truly wealthy family and received an extremely good education since childhood. She learned some aristocratic etiquette and is a real upper-class figure in North America.

However, her family is, after all, a capitalist family that developed in North America, and is far inferior to the aristocratic artistic family that Sophie came from in terms of background.

In the eyes of many European aristocratic families, North American capital families are nouveau riche with no historical heritage, and they look down on North American capital families from the bottom of their hearts.

Even though many capitalist families in North America are richer than some aristocratic families or even royal families in Europe that have been passed down for hundreds of years, the aristocratic families still look down on the capitalist families in North America.

Jennifer now has a deep understanding of this and realizes the difference in foundation between the two.

The song ended! Sophie bowed and nodded gently to all the silent audience, almost in the same way as Wang Qian, and said softly: "Thank you, this is a French song I wrote out of inspiration, and the title of the song is my own name, Sophie!"

Many people were a little surprised that the song was named after themselves, and they had new ideas about the song. They thought about taking a closer look at the meaning of the lyrics after it was finished.

The quiet scene suddenly became lively, everyone woke up and gave warm applause.

Regardless of whether they can understand it or not, they all know that this is an absolutely beautiful French song. The subtle artistic conception of the song has infected them, which shows that this is an extremely excellent work.

So, just applaud!

Even Qin Xuehong, Liu Shengnan, Ru Ke, Chen Xiaowen and other audience members from China applauded vigorously.

Qin Xuehong also whispered to Xiao Dongmei beside him: "I have to say, this Sophie from France is really amazing. This is the first time I admire a little girl like this."

Sophie was less than twenty years old, and for Qin Xuehong, who was about to be thirty, it was not an exaggeration to call her a little girl.

Xiao Dongmei also clapped and said, "It's really good. This is the best French song I have ever heard."

Qin Xuehong asked curiously: "Do you know French?"

Xiao Dongmei: “I understand a little bit!”

Qin Xuehong shut up, knowing that this was Xiao Dongmei's humble words.

I have a rough understanding of what they say, probably to the extent that I can communicate freely with the French.

Jennifer watched Sophie's performance with Adam backstage. Without saying a word to Adam, Jennifer quickly walked onto the stage and said loudly, "Although I only understood a few words of the lyrics, I know this is a great French song. Sophie is amazing. So, what do our judges say?"

The applause gradually died down.

Everyone looked at the ten judges who all looked equally excited.

The judge from France spoke first, looking a little excited: "This is a great French song. It is also a surprise that Sophie brought us! She is a true genius, and her talent is not inferior to Professor Wang Qian. In ten years, she may be the next Professor Wang Qian. I give her full marks, she is perfect."

There was warm applause at the scene.

Everyone agrees with this view that Sophie is a perfect musical genius, and her talent may be no less than Wang Qian.

Since Sophie started performing on this stage, she has tried several different types of music and changed her singing style, but she has not done it as exaggeratedly as Wang Qian by directly changing her voice.

Most importantly, like Wang Qian, every musical attempt of Sophie has been a great success.

This is the same as Wang Qian.

So far, this is the only singer in the world who can do this besides Wang Qian.

Adam has made several different attempts before, but except for this rap genre, none of the others were very successful.

Therefore, it does make sense that everyone thinks Sophie’s talent is not inferior to Wang Qian’s, and what she lacks is time to grow.

Sophie smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, teacher. However, I am still not as good as Professor Wang Qian. Maybe I can become his student."

This is what Sophie really thinks.

If she could be with Wang Qian every day, she would be willing to be Wang Qian's student like Juliet.

Then, the first judge, Cui Wenfeng, spoke: "Although I didn't understand it, I felt the artistic conception of the song. I was also touched by Sophie's beautiful singing voice, which is amazing. I give it 9 points!"

Nine points is almost the highest score Cui Wenfeng gave except for Wang Qian.

Sophie smiled: "Thank you, Teacher Cui!"

Ceci said with a little exaggeration: "If there was no Professor Wang Qian, Sophie, you would definitely become the most dazzling star on this stage. However, even with Professor Wang Qian, he cannot cover up your brilliance. You are really great. This French song is the best French song I have heard in recent years. I also give it 9 points!"

Many viewers applauded Sisi and agreed with him, saying that this was also the best French song in the impression of many others.

Of course, there aren’t many French songs that people have heard.

Robert in the front row also whispered in admiration, "Sophie may be the only one who has a chance to defeat Wang Qian in the future. Christine has already reached her peak and it will be difficult for her to make any more breakthroughs. If she cannot defeat Wang Qian recently, then she will never be able to defeat Wang Qian in the future. However, Sophie still has great potential to be tapped and may be able to defeat Wang Qian head-on in the future."

"We can invite Sophie to join us next time. I think she must be eager to defeat Wang Qian."

The others also nodded in agreement.

People in the music industry all recognize Sophie's talent and strength. She is a genius that they all need to look up to.

Several judges also gave their scores.

In the end, Sophie got a high score of 93 points, including three full marks. The other seven people all scored nine points, which was one of the highest scores below Wang Qian's full mark.

It was more than ten points higher than Adam's previous performance, and he had already won a game.

For a French song, this is an absolutely amazing result.

She conquered the judges and the audience with a French song, which once again proved Sophie's amazing talent and strength.

Sophie politely thanked all the audience and judges before turning and leaving.

Adam, who had been waiting backstage, came over to greet her. "God, Sophie, your performance just now was simply perfect. I admit defeat wholeheartedly. This French song is so beautiful. Can you explain to me the meaning of the song? I think naming this song after yourself must have a special meaning to you!"

Adam excitedly expressed his support and affirmation for Sophie, hoping to get closer to Sophie.

Unfortunately, Sophie didn't say a word, as if she didn't hear him. She just walked towards her own lounge. When she passed by the door of Wang Qian's lounge, she paused, and then entered her own lounge next to it.

Bang……

Adam stood at the door of Sophie's lounge, his face pale.

Lost the game!

Also lost the goddess.

Adam felt that his life was bleak for a moment, and turned around and walked slowly towards his lounge.

And on the stage.

Jennifer began to announce the voting results for the contestants in the first round of the competition that everyone was looking forward to.

This is usually the time period with higher ratings.

Because this is when the suspense is revealed.

But……

Jennifer heard the voices of the director team through the headset and knew that the ratings had dropped a bit.

From the peak of 2 billion people online when Sophie performed just now, it dropped to 1.5 billion!

"It's fallen again. However, there is good news. Sophie is the second contestant who can support two billion people watching at the same time. Her popularity around the world is also incredibly high. We can hype her up and make good use of it."

"Jenny, the process of announcing the votes can be sped up a bit. The audience doesn't like to watch it. It may be that the performances of the two groups of contestants are a little different..."

The director team was communicating with Jennifer.

The reason why the audience is not so interested in solving the suspense of the votes may be because the two groups of contestants are not very competitive.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The gap is somewhat obvious, so the result is already obvious!

Wang Qian and Elizabeth's live performances are definitely not on the same level.

There is also a big difference between Adam and Sophie's performance on stage.

So! It seems that we can guess the result without looking at the votes.

Naturally, the audience became too lazy to watch and went to post on major social media platforms to brag, waiting for the moment to pass before watching the contestants' performances.

Jennifer also sped up the pace of announcing the results: "It's time to announce the votes for the first round of performances. Are you looking forward to it?"

Many of the audience members at the scene also looked very calm, and it was obvious that they already had the result in their minds.

Jennifer also quickly announced the results.

"Okay, the first group of contestants, Elizabeth and Professor Wang Qian. Isa received 27,370 votes. Professor Wang Qian received 82,600 votes, and the remaining dozens of votes were abstentions. Obviously, everyone knows that Professor Wang Qian won. In addition, Professor Wang Qian also won the judges' points, so Professor Wang Qian has won the first round of performances."

"Let us congratulate Professor Wang Qian, and hope that Isa will not be discouraged and continue to work hard to bring us the best performance."

…

Applause and chat!

No one was surprised by this result.

It’s just unexpected that Wang Qian has such a big gap in popularity compared to Elizabeth. He is almost no different from Jonathan in the first round. It depends on the second round of performances.

Robert and other European and American singers all looked slightly disappointed. Obviously, they had held out a glimmer of hope for Elizabeth, hoping that Elizabeth could create some trouble for Wang Qian, or even counterattack and eliminate Wang Qian.

Now it seems that they really thought too much...

The reason why the dark horse's counterattack is so shocking is that there are so few of them.

It is so rare that many people may hardly encounter it once in their lifetime.

Jennifer continued to announce the votes for the second group of contestants: "The second group of contestants, Adam and Sophie. Adam received 41,300 votes. Sophie received 68,700 votes, and no one abstained. Sophie won. Just now, Sophie also won in the professional score. So congratulations to Sophie for winning the first round of performances."

"This is the result of the first round of performances. Professor Wang Qian and Sophie are the winners."

"Next, we are about to start the second round of performances. I hope the four contestants can maintain their best condition again..."

"Please welcome the first contestant, Elizabeth!"

Jennifer doesn't have much nonsense.

After the results were announced, the second round of performances began directly.

Elizabeth was also notified early and was already standing backstage. She looked very calm and did not show any surprise or disappointment at the result.

She knew that she had absolutely no chance of winning against Wang Qian.

Instead, she was a little surprised. She was surprised that nearly 30,000 people voted for her, which meant that almost all the folks in her hometown supported her.

This is the greatest recognition for Elizabeth.

Elizabeth walked towards the stage and started her second performance. She still had the mature style she had always insisted on.

It is still a new song she created.

Still above the standard...

only……

To all the audiences here and around the world.

But it feels a bit boring.

They listened to Wang Qian's different rock, Adam's different rap, and Sophie's amazing French folk songs.

result……

Elizabeth, however, remained the same.

Many people were disappointed all of a sudden.

Although, Elizabeth's performance maintained its usual high standard and the songs were still quite touching.

However, apart from her fans who have always supported her, other passers-by were somewhat disappointed and even disgusted, hoping that she would finish the performance quickly so that they could see Wang Qian's surprise performance.

Everybody wants to see something new.

Yunna said to Lillard beside her: "I don't know why, this good song that can be the title song of an album sounds very ordinary to me."

Lillard smiled bitterly, "Because we have all raised our horizons and expectations because of Wang Qian and Sophie's more exciting and unexpected performances, it is not very friendly to Elizabeth who has no novelty or surprises."

The others all nodded after hearing this; they all had the same feeling.

This is the case with these professional musicians.

Not to mention other ordinary audiences.

The production crew was so heartbroken backstage as they watched the ratings drop again.

There was a quarrel in the office.

"I'm choking. The audience is down to a billion."

"From a peak of 2.7 billion viewers, it has dropped to only 1 billion. What did we do wrong?"

“Elizabeth’s performance lacked any sense of anticipation and did not meet the audience’s expectations, so everyone left.”

"Tell Wang Qian to come on stage and save the day. His second show's advertising time has been sold for $16 million per second. Poor Isa, it's even harder to buy advertising time for her third show. She may only get $2 million per second."

"Two million dollars is not enough. After all, there are a billion viewers watching."

"Don't worry, just wait a moment, it's only a few minutes, Wang Qian still has two performances to perform, no matter how low the ratings are now, he can save them, everyone just watch quietly."

“Yes, with Wang Qian here, we shouldn’t be anxious.”

The office fell silent again.

However, even the copyright representatives in North America and England now hope that Elizabeth can finish the performance as soon as possible and do not want Elizabeth to eliminate Wang Qian.

Compared with interests, stance is not important.

Elizabeth also maintained her performance steadily and finished the song smoothly.

There was also polite and warm applause from the audience.

Just seeing that everyone seems to be in a bad mood.

Elizabeth was not surprised by this. She had a clear understanding and positioning of herself, and knew that her live performances seemed very ordinary compared to those of Wang Qian and Sophie.

She had no choice but to keep going.

The judges seemed to have received the news from the director team, so there were no long comments and no interaction with Elizabeth.

The scoring will be finished soon.

Jennifer announced Elizabeth's final score: "Congratulations to Issa, you got a high score of 85 in the second round of performance."

Compared to the first game, Elizabeth's score in the second game also dropped significantly.

Although her performance remained as stable as ever and her strength had not declined, her professional score should not have dropped.

However, the judges also have their own preferences.

Besides, good and bad are relative...

Compared with Wang Qian and Sophie, Elizabeth's performance seemed very ordinary, and her score dropped.

Elizabeth smiled helplessly and bowed to the judges and the audience, saying, "Thank you, everyone. I may have disappointed you. I'm sorry!"

Elizabeth said this plainly.

Everyone applauded again and watched Elizabeth turn around and leave! Jennifer's expression suddenly became excited.

Because Wang Qian is about to appear.

Jennifer shouted loudly, "Okay, now let's welcome Professor Wang Qian, who everyone is looking forward to the most. I wonder what surprises his second performance will bring us?"

The applause became even louder.

It changed from seeing off Elizabeth to welcoming Wang Qian.

Jennifer clapped and backed off the stage.

All the lights on the stage went out, and it became pitch black.

The applause slowly died down.

Everyone craned their necks to look at the dark stage, not wanting to miss any details of Wang Qian's performance.

It seems that the swaying figures on the stage in the dark are so exciting and full of expectations.
