Chapter 425 424. Only he can be called a professor! Chinese classical musical instruments go global? (Subscribe)

The performance is about to begin.

The audience entered the scene one after another.

At the same time, a live broadcast signal was also opened and transmitted to the whole world, allowing audiences around the world to see the entrance highlights of the live performance.

Among them, many celebrities and audiences who love to show off have appeared in front of the camera with various actions to increase their popularity.

Kristen did not use this method to increase her popularity and exposure.

She doesn't need it and doesn't like it.

She was dressed casually and simply, and walked casually to her seat in the first row and sat down. Although she didn't want to appear on camera, the camera was looking for her. This is a manifestation of popularity and status.

When she appeared in the camera, many audiences waved to her and called out her name, and many viewers in front of the TV were also surprised.

Although Kristen is dressed simply and casually today, she still looks fresh and stunning. After all, her appearance is really good. Her short hair and slightly neutral facial features really make her attractive to both men and women.

Christine did not bring her agent today, but came with her good friend Garbo.

Of course, Garbo's ticket was not bought by herself, nor was it given to her by Kristen. It was given to her by her current crew. The purpose was to have her appear at the world game to increase her exposure, and at the same time appear with Kristen to take advantage of Kristen's popularity.

Garbo originally wanted to refuse, as she did not want to use Christine to promote herself and the crew.

However, Kristen found out and advised her to accept it, saying that such things were normal in the entertainment industry and there was no need to be disgusted.

Anyway, Christine didn't lose anything.

So, Garbo came along too.

Because she really didn't want to miss this performance.

As soon as she sat down, Garbo, who was also beautiful and charming, attracted the attention of the whole audience and all the viewers in front of the TV. They all thought of this good friend of Christine and became curious.

Everyone started paying attention to Garbo, and the crew's goal was achieved, and the investment of millions of dollars in tickets was worth it.

Garbo sat down and said with a hint of regret, "Actually, I should have come to last week's performance. God, Wang Qian's three performances were all so wonderful. I couldn't help crying twice in front of the TV. The live show must be even better."

Changing her tone, Garbo looked at Christine and said, "Of course, Chris, your two songs are also very nice. I downloaded them and listened to them for several days."

Christine glanced at Garbo, leaned back in her chair, folded her arms across her chest, looked at the stage, and said calmly, "Yes, I know that the songs you listen to every day are Wang Qian's three songs. How many times have you listened to my songs?"

Jiabao smiled sheepishly and said, "By the way, Christine, Wang Qian won't sing tonight. Play a Chinese instrumental song. You will definitely surpass him in sales next week."

Christine snorted and said, "Winning a classical piece is nothing! Besides, I didn't intend to win him. I just wanted to be under his pressure so that I could concentrate more on thinking about music. I seem to have returned to the time when I just started making music a few years ago. I was very focused and excited. I had more ideas about music. I like this state very much."

"As for winning or losing, it doesn't matter to me."

Garbo gave Christine a thumbs up and said with contempt, "Yes, although you lost to Wang Qian, you also broke the record. Your single sales exceeded 300 million in a week. Of course you can say that sales are not important to you! Chris...you have always been the big winner."

Christine smiled and stopped arguing with Garbo.

In the eyes of outside media, although Kristen lost to Wang Qian, she is also the big winner second only to Wang Qian. Her sales continue to set new records and her name will also be recorded in the history of pop music. The miraculous sales also brought her generous rewards.

If this trend continues, the media predicts that Kristen may become the highest-paid person in the European and American entertainment industries this year, far surpassing those Hollywood stars who get paid tens of millions of dollars for a blockbuster movie.

Christine changed the subject and said, "In fact, I am more looking forward to Professor Wang Qian playing Chinese classical instruments. This can better prove his strength and musical background. However, most ordinary people who only like to listen to pop music songs don't understand this."

Garbo glanced behind him, looking at the middle-aged and elderly people who looked like artists, and said, "They must understand!"

Christine said in a slightly serious tone: "Garbo. Perhaps, the song played by Professor Wang Qian today will lose to the rest of us in sales next week. However, he is the only one who can attract music artists from all over the world to come to the live performance, do you understand what I mean? You can't think of him as a loser just because his sales next week are lower."

"In the field of art, the market is not the only determining factor. Most of the artists from famous music schools here will call him Professor, which is a testament to his strength. They won't call him Professor Chris, or Professor Sophie or Adam, but Professor Wang Qian."

Kristen also looked very serious. She scanned the stage, skipping over Jennifer who was walking down, and looked forward to Wang Qian's performance.

Garbo said "oh" and decided not to say anything.

In fact, she is also a fan of Wang Qian.

Jennifer took the microphone, walked off the stage and began to interact with the celebrities and audience members in the front row, which was also a segment that many audience members liked to watch.

Many audience members at the scene also stood up and stretched their heads to watch.

There was only a large area in the middle where many people sat upright, looking at everything in front of them with indifferent expressions, as if the live interviews and jokes of those celebrities had no appeal to them at all.

Max from the Juilliard School said calmly, "If I didn't want to hear Professor Wang Qian's guzheng performance, I really wouldn't want to sit here for even one more second. It's too noisy here."

Max looked at the stars in front of him who were vying for attention in front of the camera, as if he was watching a monkey show.

Professor Dawson next to him smiled and said, "I have seen Professor Wang Qian perform live twice before. His achievements in the field of pop music are amazing. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one in the field of pop music in recent decades. All he needs now is an album to establish his position."

Hoffman, who was standing next to him, shook his head and said, "It's a pity if he didn't spend so much time and energy on pop music. I think he could have revived classical music and made the world recognize what musical art is again."

Dawson affirmed: "In fact, Professor Wang Qian has done it. All the piano music he released has set off a wave of piano music listening craze around the world. Many young and middle-aged people who were not interested in classical music are now interested in listening to a concert."

"I think the guys who are about to hold concerts over there are the most qualified to speak. I heard that the tickets for their concerts in New York next month have all been sold out. This is their best performance in the past ten years."

The middle-aged men over there saw Dawson's gaze and looked over and waved. They all had red faces and smiled, obviously feeling very proud.

Dawson continued, "However, I think they urgently need Professor Wang Qian's authorization. Otherwise, they will not be able to play Professor Wang Qian's music at the concert, and those who want to listen to Professor Wang's piano music will definitely be disappointed! This is also the main purpose of their coming to Los Angeles. Unfortunately, they have not contacted Professor Wang Qian so far."

Hoffman sighed, "His violin piece, Liang Zhu, gave me a big surprise. Unfortunately, he hasn't announced the outline yet. However, the current piece is enough for me to study for a while. I hope that next time I go to Huaxia to listen to his lectures, he can give me some more surprises."

Max said, "Huaxia invited me to give a class at the Central Conservatory of Music in advance. I couldn't refuse, so I agreed. What about you?"

Hoffman smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I promised to give them a lesson after Professor Wang Qian's lecture."

Dawson nodded and said, "Not only the Central Conservatory of Music, but Curtis has also agreed to long-term academic exchange activities with the Magic Conservatory of Music and the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music. In the future, we will regularly invite a group of their teachers and students to study in Curtis for a period of time every year. We will also send teachers and students to their schools for exchanges and studies."

Max frowned: "They also made this request to us, but we haven't agreed yet."

Dawson said softly, "Mr. Max, if you want to include Professor Wang Qian's name in the Juilliard School, then it is necessary for you to establish relationships with several colleges in China."

Max nodded without saying anything, his eyes full of thought! He also knew that establishing long-term exchanges with Chinese classical music schools would definitely help to build a good relationship with Wang Qian.

but……

He is still hesitating, is it worth doing this?

In the eyes of the European and American classical music circles, famous art schools such as Curtis and Juilliard lower their status by frequently engaging in exchange activities with several Chinese music conservatories.

This is because several music conservatories in China have provided almost no help to Juilliard. This kind of exchange relationship is Juilliard's unilateral help to several Chinese schools, and Juilliard is the one-sided giver!

If Wang Qian cannot bring them sufficient returns in the future, then the Juilliard School may suffer a blow and its reputation and status in the circle of famous classical music schools in North America will decline.

Therefore, Max and Juilliard School are still waiting and watching whether Wang Qian will continue to grow and whether he can bring enough returns to Curtis now. At that time, Juilliard will make a choice.

However, Max looked at Eastman, Manhattan, and his acquaintances from other famous classical music schools in the world not far away, and his eyes became serious again.

He worried that if he didn't act, someone else would.

By then, there would be little halo left on Wang Qian, and even if Julia wanted to take action, she would get nothing.

Max was in a dilemma.

Eyes on the stage.

perhaps……

Will Wang Qian give him some answers tonight? Max showed an expectant look on his face and whispered, "I have been studying the Chinese guzheng instrument for the past week. It is a very beautiful instrument."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Dawson nodded: "Who says it's not true? Chinese musical instruments are still very distinctive, and the musical expression is also very clear! We are planning to communicate with several Chinese colleges, and we may temporarily open a Chinese musical instrument subject in Curtis..."

Max looked at Dawson in shock, "Really? Are you Curtis serious?"

Open a Chinese musical instrument course...

This is a major move that will definitely shake the foundation of the entire European and American music and art field.

For a hundred years, in the entire field of European and American classical music art, all music artists would not acknowledge or practice musical instruments other than European and American culture. This is their heritage.

They would belittle musical instruments from other cultural areas and consider them not worth mentioning, so that they can have a sense of nobility.

This is also the reason why Wang Qian encountered boycott from the entire European and American music and art circles at the beginning!

because……

China has never produced a world-class master of music and art recognized by them.

Because China has its own set of classical music art heritage! Most of them don't want to see the emergence of their own music art masters in the field of Chinese classical music.

but……

Even though they don't admit it, Wang Qian has still proved himself on the world stage.

Whether they admit it or not, Wang Qian has proven himself in the market, and the number of downloads of his piano pieces has made other artists jealous.

Artists also need to eat, so many artists began to recognize Wang Qian.

However, few people acknowledge Wang Qian's performance of the pipa.

There is no school that would openly admit that it is researching Chinese classical musical instruments. At most, they would research them privately, and professors would publish some articles privately. However, they would also be belittled and criticized by many peers, causing some arguments.

Now, if Curtis wants to open a course on Chinese classical musical instruments, it will definitely cause a stir in the entire European and American music and art fields. A large number of classical music artists will definitely resist it, including many of Curtis Institute’s own teachers and students, who will not agree and think that this is a lowering of their status.

Dawson said solemnly, "We are still discussing it. The resistance is very great! But, Mr. Max, classical music has not changed for more than a hundred years. Pop music has been constantly improving and changing, so it has always had a large market sales. We classical music have been sticking to our past and standing still. In the end, we will definitely be eliminated, and classical music will gradually disappear."

"If we want the world to recognize music art again, we need to have something new to interest and surprise everyone. Then we can gradually regain the recognition of the world."

Dawson's idea is obviously based on the market perspective. He believes that if classical music wants to develop and gain market recognition, it must change.

Max, from the perspective of a diehard thinker, knew that Dawson's idea would be blocked by many people.

However, if you think about it objectively, if it is for the sake of making a living, Max knows that if Dawson does this, it will definitely have a good effect, and maybe it will really allow classical artists to make a living.

Max didn't know what would happen in the end.

Suddenly, several people fell silent.

At this time!

The performance officially began.

Jennifer stood on the stage and said loudly: "For today's performance, we have invited the nation's top young pianist from the Curtis Institute to play a piano piece for everyone. This piano piece should be familiar to everyone. It is the work of Professor Wang Qian."

"Everyone welcome, Taylor!"

Amid applause.

A piano rose in the center of the stage.

Taylor walked up in a purple dress, which, combined with her purple hair, made her look mysterious and noble. She walked step by step to the piano, sat down, and slowly pressed the piano keys with her hands.

The piece played by Wang Qian during his lecture at Curtis Institute.

Exodus, sounded.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Beautiful person.

The music is beautiful.

In the middle area, many professors from other colleges looked at Curtis's Dawson and others with envy.

Taylor's talent and strength truly surpass those of his peers in their academy.

But, think of the original author of this song.

Everyone's envy became even stronger.

The even more terrifying original author is now also Curtis's man!
