Chapter 420 419. Exaggeration: The first person in a hundred years! The ruler of the music era! (Subscribe)
The world is bustling with people all for profit, the world is bustling with people all for profit! No one will do meaningless things.
Today, Los Angeles is home to almost all of the famous professors and artists from music schools in North America, as well as many successful music artists.
Even the European music and art world, which used to be at odds with the North American music and art world, has many well-known figures this time.
Representatives from several world-renowned music schools in Europe came, and many famous European music artists also appeared in Los Angeles.
Moreover, when faced with media inquiries, many professors from prestigious universities and music artists did not evade, but directly answered some of the media's questions to increase their own attention.
A young professor from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, along with two of his students, calmly accepted an interview with the media at the airport.
"Which school are you from?"
"Cincinnati, I just became a piano professor last year."
"So, what brings you to Los Angeles?"
"Of course I came to see Professor Wang Qian's guzheng performance. To be honest, this is the first time I know about the guzheng instrument. China is indeed a mysterious country."
"So, Professor, what kind of presence do you think Professor Wang Qian has in the field of classical music?"
This question was quite pointed. The young professor thought for a while before saying, "To be honest, he is my idol. I have studied his lecture videos on Curtis dozens of times, and explained them twice in my class. I have recommended them to all my students! I have never heard of an artist who explains the art of music so thoroughly and simply. If I can fully understand his lessons, I will become one of the top ten pianists in the world."
The reporter asked again: "Do you think his Guzheng performance will be successful this time?"
The young professor asked in return: "Why not? I think, with his musical background and understanding, he will definitely succeed. Although I don't know what a guzheng is, I believe his guzheng performance will be a musical enjoyment."
The reporter then asked, "What's your name, Professor?"
The young professor smiled at the camera and said, "My name is Sberg, and I'm from the Cincinnati Piano Department. I like Professor Wang Qian's works very much. Three months later, I will hold a small piano concert in Los Angeles. I will play all of Professor Wang Qian's classics. Friends who like Professor Wang Qian's piano works should not miss it..."
This young professor from Cincinnati suddenly introduced himself and advertised himself in front of the camera and reporters.
The reporter hurriedly changed the subject: "How do you think Professor Wang Qian's piano level ranks in the world?"
Sperger stopped and said seriously: "Without a doubt, the world's number one!"
The reporter smiled, got the answer he wanted, and said, "Okay, thank you Professor Sperger."
After the interview, the reporter and the program crew continued to stare at the crowd coming out of the airport, trying to find someone with artistic taste to interview among the crowd.
Sberg left with the two students with a smile on his face.
…
Such interviews with people in the field of music and art are constantly taking place at airports and some hotels in Los Angeles.
Most people highly respect Wang Qian and express their recognition and expectations for him.
There were also a very small number of people who showed disdain for Wang Qian.
"What do you think of Professor Wang Qian's attainments in music art?"
"Leaving aside age and qualifications, if we only look at his ability and talent, Professor Wang Qian can be said to be the best in the world right now. I have been playing the piano for 60 years and have never seen anyone play better than him! However, he needs more performances and works to make more people accept this. I really like his piano works, which are definitely the best piano works in the past 30 years."
…
"What do you think of Professor Wang Qian's musical art in the world?"
"Of course he is third-rate. He has no world-class awards to prove himself, nor has he held a concert to show himself to the world. He just gave a class. However, his talent and strength are not bad. He should quit this world competition immediately, and then study his own music and art works, participate in a few international competitions and win awards, and then hold a successful world tour. Then he can barely be considered a world-class artist. However, I don't think he can successfully win an international music award..."
“So why did you come to Los Angeles to see his show?”
"I didn't come to see his performance. I came to see Sophie and Taylor's piano performance. These two are the best young piano artists in the world right now. Their future is worth looking forward to."
"Do you know what a guzheng is?"
"have no idea……"
…
"What level do you think Professor Wang Qian ranks in the field of world music and art?"
"That is undoubtedly the best. I had the honor of listening to Professor Wang Qian's live lecture at Curtis, which was definitely the best music class I have ever attended in my life. This time I came to Los Angeles specifically to see his live performance again. I am very much looking forward to his performance of Chinese classical instruments. The Chinese instruments he played at Curtis last time were very surprising, and were simply masterpieces."
…
Evaluations of Wang Qian by many artists in the field of classical music and art have continued to appear on major social platforms, gradually becoming the hottest topic of discussion.
Many people want to know whether the Chinese musical instruments that Wang Qian will play in this week's performance will be successful and whether they can bring them surprises. At the same time, they are also happy to see many classical music artists discussing Wang Qian, as if they were watching lively gossip.
Amid such popularity, music artists who want to gain popularity also take the initiative to appear in front of the media and keep themselves on the screen.
so……
The live broadcast TV station of The Voice of China in North America has specially produced an interview program to discuss the three young artists who will appear in the weekend performance.
Wang Qian, Sophie, and Taylor!
The invited interview guests are also very important in the field of classical music.
Professor Dawson of Curtis College.
Professor Mars of Manhattan College.
Professor Terry of Eastman College.
Professor Orris of the Juilliard School
The four top classical music conservatories in North America, which are also ranked in the top four in the world, were all invited. The people invited were all important figures, not just any unknown little people.
In addition, there are people participating in the show from several other classical music conservatories in North America and several famous classical music schools in Europe.
In addition to many people from classical academies, several musical artists that many people know also appeared on TV.
Without a doubt!
This interview program is specifically focused on the field of classical music art, and it can be said to be the most glorious one in the field of classical music art in recent decades.
After all, when the show first aired, hundreds of millions of people around the world watched it, and the number is still rising rapidly.
The focus of the opening discussion of this program is who is the strongest among Wang Qian, Sophie, and Taylor.
This point! No one disagreed! The views were all the same. Everyone thought it was Wang Qian, and no one raised any different opinions.
Even some people who have belittled Wang Qian in interviews would not think that Wang Qian is weaker than Sophie and Taylor.
Of course, some people said outside that Wang Qian is not as good as Taylor and Sophie, but now they dare not say it in front of the camera.
Then, when discussing Wang Qian's achievements in the field of music and art, differences arose.
Professor Dawson affirmed: "Although Professor Wang Qian has been in the industry for a short time, every piece he released has become popular around the world. Not only his piano pieces, but also his violin pieces have been recognized worldwide, and many violinists are learning from him. Even the Chinese musical instrument pipa that the professor played in class has attracted worldwide attention. Many colleges have begun to study Chinese classical instruments and are considering adding courses on Chinese classical instruments."
"Our Curtis Institute is one of them. We plan to invite Professor Wang Qian to come to Curtis Institute to give a few courses on Chinese classical instruments in the future. If students are willing to learn, we will add Chinese classical instrument courses and invite several Chinese folk music professors from several Chinese music colleges to teach."
"Therefore, Professor Wang Qian can be said to be one of the top figures in the field of music art in terms of his achievements and contributions."
Professor Dawson's praise for Wang Qian was highly recognized by Professor Mars of Manhattan College: "Yes, Professor Wang Qian's attainments in piano are the best in the past hundred years! All he lacks is time. If possible, I would like to be his student."
Mars was really impressed by Wang Qian's class and was convinced!
The professors from Eastman and Juilliard School remained silent. Although they all recognized Wang Qian's strength and potential, they did not want to say it here. After all, Wang Qian was not from their school, and there was no need for them to help Wang Qian increase his aura and status. They were still in competition with Curtis.
A pianist objected directly: "His works are indeed very good, and I have practiced them all. However, he has too few works, published too recently, and has no historical background. He is not a world-class master of art at all. I can't understand what he is playing on Chinese instruments at all."
The host asked, "So why did you come to Los Angeles?"
The pianist was stunned for a moment, then said: "I came here to study Wang Qian's shortcomings and give him some advice..."
Professor Dawson said calmly, "The sales of Professor Wang Qian's piano music have broken the world record. It is the piano music with the highest download sales since the download platform was established. He achieved this in just one month. At the same time, half of the music you will perform at the concert next month will be Professor Wang Qian's works!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The pianist suddenly fell silent, and then stopped talking, just sitting there with a dark face.
He couldn't refute what Professor Dawson said.
because……
It is true that half of the repertoire for his concert next month will be Wang Qian's works, but he has not yet obtained Wang Qian's authorization because he cannot contact Wang Qian.
This is easy to find out within the circle.
If he still insists on his point of view now, he would be slapping himself in the face.
However, a European music artist said: "He doesn't even consider himself a music artist, otherwise he wouldn't have participated in this world competition. Singing so many rock songs and attracting so many people's attention is not art at all. Artists should study their own music quietly and low-key! I firmly refuse to recognize him as a music artist."
This veteran artist, who comes from a famous music school in Europe, has a very firm attitude.
Dawson was here to defend Wang Qian, and he immediately asked, "Then what are you doing here? What is the purpose of coming to this show? Did you get paid? You are an artist, why don't you study music art at home?"
The old artist's face was livid, and he said in a deep voice: "I want everyone to have a clear understanding of Wang Qian... He comes from China, where there is no soil for music and art. He has not even received professional higher education in music and art. He is nothing at all!"
Dawson shrugged and said calmly: "Since you have such discrimination and prejudice, I don't want to talk to you anymore."
The old artist was immediately furious: "You slandered me..."
The other people also looked at the old artist with displeasure and were very dissatisfied with him.
What he said just now did involve some regional discrimination.
The host hurriedly changed the topic, fearing that the program would be censored, and said, "Okay, then, let's get back to the topic of Professor Wang Qian!"
Terry couldn't help but say, "Professor Wang Qian's strength and talent are obvious to all. It's no exaggeration to say that he is the best in history! What he lacks is time and experience."
For a moment, everyone started talking again.
…
This show has a good viewership rate all over the world. During its peak period, nearly one billion people watched it worldwide, with more than 40 million people watching it in North America alone and hundreds of millions of people watching it in Asia...
Many people found it fresh to see a group of music artists quarreling without any image on the show.
After all, in the impression of many ordinary people, this group of music artists should be elegant and cultured, they should not speak in an excited tone, they should not quarrel or swear, and they should be able to control their emotions.
However, in the show, they behaved like ordinary people, no different from the celebrity artists on variety shows. They also quarreled, slapped each other in the face, and spoke loudly.
certainly……
More people are paying attention to the topics they are discussing.
Many people did not expect that Wang Qian’s image in the hearts of classical music artists would be so great?
Last time, when Wang Qian gave a lecture at Curtis, the whole world saw that Wang Qian conquered all the musical artists present.
However, it was then overshadowed by the popularity of the World Championship.
Everyone doesn’t know that Wang Qian has such a high status in the field of music and art!
"The world's best in strength and talent!"
“The piano works are the best works in the last twenty or thirty years.”
"An unrivalled musical talent."
"In the field of piano, in terms of strength, no one in the world today can compare to me!"
These comments, coming from the mouths of authoritative music artists, are equivalent to adding halos to Wang Qian.
And amid this heated controversy, the weekend has arrived.
More people in the field of music and art gathered in Los Angeles.
Just when everyone was still shocked by Wang Qian's many halos in the field of classical music art...
Suddenly discovered!
On the pop music sales chart, Wang Qian's name high up on the list, and the long sales figures behind it, are too eye-catching.
The praise of many classical music artists, coupled with the long sales figures accumulated over the weekend! The collision of the two.
The whole world was boiling in an instant.
…
Even Wang Qian himself, when he was taking a break from rehearsal on a weekend morning, took out his phone to check the sales volume, and was stunned for a moment when he saw those numbers.
He has been busy with rehearsals these past two days, and occasionally has to deal with Sophie and Jennifer at night. He is busy and tired, so he has not paid attention to the outside public opinion and situation.
Unexpectedly, the sales have accumulated to such a large amount.
Time magazine directly used Wang Qian as the cover character of its latest report - the ruler of music.
Wang Qian himself felt that this title was too exaggerated.
However, in the eyes of many media, industry insiders, and passers-by.
The sales of Wang Qian’s three singles this week were exaggerated.
