Chapter 428 427. Something big has happened. Something big has happened in the Chinese folk music community! (Subscribe!)
It's not just Professor Zhou from the Central Conservatory of Music.
At the same time, many teachers and professors of Guzheng in the folk music departments of Moyin College, Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, and other Chinese music and art colleges, as well as some students stood up in surprise, staring at the clear details of Wang Qian's performance on the TV screen, as if they wanted to see clearly every move of Wang Qian.
He Chaohui looked at Professor Zhou, who seemed to be possessed by a demon, watching Wang Qian's performance. He then looked at Professor Li, who was not teaching the guzheng and was also looking at Wang Qian with some excitement. He then asked softly, "Professor Li, what's wrong with Professor Zhou?"
Professor Li kept his eyes on the live TV screen as he whispered to He Chaohui, "Chaohui, have you never learned to play the guzheng before?"
He Chaohui said embarrassedly: "I practiced for a year when I was a child, and then I focused on the piano. I haven't touched the guzheng for many years."
Professor Li looked at He Chaohui, then quickly moved his eyes back to the screen, listening carefully, but also patiently said: "Then what do you think is the difference between Professor Wang's guzheng and others?"
He Chaohui watched Wang Qian's performance carefully. She saw that Wang Qian's hand movements were more intense, and the emotions and images he conveyed to her were clearer and richer. He did not play like other guzheng masters, which were slow and distant, and lacked a sense of image. She tentatively answered, "Faster? More intense? Clearer?"
Professor Li nodded: "Yes, this is the most intuitive feeling. This is the difference between Professor Wang and others. He is the first person to play the guzheng in this way."
The first person to play the guzheng like this? He Chaohui instantly understood why Professor Zhou and several other guzheng teachers were so excited. He looked at Wang Qian again, carefully experiencing Wang Qian's performance, and gradually became shocked.
this……
It seemed to overturn her impression of the traditional way of playing the guzheng.
What is the traditional guzheng performance like? The performer moves slowly, plucking the strings gently and twisting them slowly.
Some classic ancient masterpieces have such a slow tempo and focus on the artistic conception.
However, many people can fall asleep when listening to famous ancient guzheng music, and have no idea what it is trying to express. Only some music artists can understand the artistic conception of the music, and it feels like they are detached from the ordinary people.
And now...
Wang Qian's guzheng performance has a very fast rhythm and his hands move very quickly. The pictures expressed by the music are extremely rich and intense, as if a violent typhoon is constantly raging. Human beings are very helpless in it, but they are also insisting on surviving and fighting, making every listener nervous.
Wang Qian's hands were seen sweeping and shaking the guzheng strings back and forth, which was completely different from the scenes in He Chaohui's memory of the guzheng masters playing slowly bit by bit, and was more impactful!
so……
A bold idea came to He Chaohui's mind: "So, Wang Qian innovated the way of playing the guzheng? And created this piece of music with a new technique?"
Hiss! The moment this thought came to He Chaohui's mind, he took a breath of cold air, stared at the projected TV screen with wide eyes, and understood why Professor Zhou and others were so shocked and excited.
Wang Qian is trying to create new techniques and new ways of creating guzheng!
This is something that has never happened in China in nearly a thousand years.
The playing and creation methods of the Guzheng are inherited from ancient times and have not changed for a long, long time.
It is said that when the People's Republic of China was just founded, a guzheng master wanted to introduce new playing methods to reform guzheng performance, but he gave up after trying for more than ten years without success. No one tried it again after that, and the playing techniques passed down from ancient times have been followed. The new guzheng music created in recent decades are also in the same style as many ancient famous music.
And now.
A person who did not graduate from a music and art school actually created a new performance technique for the guzheng, and even performed it live on the world's most watched international stage with the new performance technique? How confident and bold is this?
A momentary blankness appeared in He Chaohui's mind.
She knows.
Something big happened.
Something big has happened in the entire Chinese folk music community.
She stared blankly at Wang Qian, who was concentrating on playing, and thought to herself, Don't make any mistakes! You must succeed! Otherwise...
She didn't dare to think about the consequences of failure.
…
At the scene! After Tang Wenqing and Professor Zhang stood up in shock at first, they were pulled down by Xu Wenwen and other students to sit down. After all, they could not affect the other audiences around them.
However, Tang Wenqing and Professor Zhang still stared at Wang Qian with wide eyes.
Xu Wenwen was not a music major, so she asked curiously, "Professor Tang, Professor Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Xiaoxiao pulled her sister and whispered, "Sister, don't disturb them. Professor Wang's guzheng performance has unprecedented innovations in both technique and composition. They probably can't accept it all at once."
Xu Wenwen also widened her eyes and asked in surprise: "Innovation?"
Xu Xiaoxiao can play the guzheng, so she was a little shocked and said, "Not bad. Professor Wang's music is more expressive, more intense, and has a more lively rhythm. Compared with the previous ancient music, the performance is richer and has a clearer sense of picture. His playing style is also innovative, with many techniques I have never seen before, and it looks very handsome."
Xu Xiaoxiao imitated the hand-shaking motion that Wang Qian had just used on the stage and whispered, "This technique is just like Professor Wang playing the pipa piece Jiangjun Ling."
Xu Wenwen frowned and said, "But, the guzheng playing skills seem to have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, right?"
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, that's why everyone is even more shocked. Professor Wang actually modified the tradition that has been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. I don't know if some diehards can accept it. However, I think this song is great, much better than those famous songs that only focus on artistic conception."
Xu Wenwen said "oh" and turned around to continue looking at Wang Qian on the stage, her eyes full of admiration.
…
Liu Shengnan, Ru Ke and Chen Xiaowen were also sitting together in the middle and back rows. They were all sitting upright and looking at Wang Qian on the stage. They were all staring at Wang Qian's performance, afraid to miss any details, and their expressions were full of admiration.
All three of them are talented musicians, geniuses in the field of pop music, and naturally very familiar with the guzheng, so they are also very clear about what Wang Qian is doing.
Ru Ke exclaimed: "Professor Wang really understands the traditional instrument Guzheng thoroughly, so he can innovate the playing techniques and produce such good results. This is the best and most vivid live Guzheng performance I have ever heard."
Ru Ke’s words are very valuable.
Because she was not only a top student at the Central Conservatory of Music, but also spent several years in the National Orchestra and met various national-level music artists. So in her opinion, Wang Qian's understanding and performance level of the guzheng surpassed all the professors and national-level guzheng masters she knew at the Central Conservatory of Music. Perhaps he was the best guzheng player in China? Liu Shengnan said softly with concern: "Innovation has resistance. I just don't know if those old-school artists can accept it."
Chen Xiaowen frowned: "Whether they can accept it or not, they can't stop Professor Wang's innovation! Such a beautiful song should be very popular. Works that everyone supports will naturally become popular. Then Professor Wang's new playing technique will also spread, and no one can stop it."
Ru Ke nodded: "That's right, as long as everyone accepts and likes it, those old guys can't stop it."
Liu Shengnan stared at Wang Qian with a hint of obsession in her eyes: "Professor Wang is so amazing in the field of music!"
Ru Ke and Chen Xiaowen both nodded in agreement, their eyes unable to leave Wang Qian's shadow.
The more talented and master one is in the field of music, the more he will understand the power of Wang Qian's live guzheng performance at this moment.
Just like Dawson, Max, Marlon and others who were sitting not far in front of them, they were also shocked at this moment.
They all specialized in understanding and studying the Chinese guzheng instrument, so they came to listen to Wang Qian's performance.
If they understand a musical instrument at the level of top music artists, they will quickly gain a thorough understanding of the instrument.
So, even though they can't play the guzheng, they have a very good understanding of the music theory and inner meaning of the guzheng.
So, now they were all shocked by Wang Qian.
Hoffman asked uncertainly, "Did he innovate the way the guzheng is played?"
Max affirmed: "Of course, his performance is different from several classic guzheng pieces I have heard, and it is also very different from the performance techniques of several guzheng masters I know. Obviously, Wang Qian's current performance pays more attention to musical expression and emotional expression, is more suitable for live performance, and is more suitable for musical expression. It is an advanced innovation in terms of musical expression."
"He is a one-of-a-kind genius!"
Max once again gave Wang Qian a very high evaluation.
It is not terrible to master the skills passed down from generation to generation. There are many such people in the top circles of music and art.
However, such pioneering geniuses who can make progressive innovations based on inheritance are extremely rare. The emergence of one or two such people in each era can greatly promote development.
In Max's opinion, Wang Qian is such a genius.
Dawson nodded, "Yeah, he's great!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Ma Long, who was not far away, also said to the professor of the Paris Conservatory next to him: "If possible, I really hope to invite him to teach at the conservatory, and even give him the position of principal."
A professor from the same school smiled bitterly and said, "I think he might not be interested in this!"
With his vision and understanding, he could also see that a small Paris Conservatory of Music might not be able to constrain Wang Qian.
…
In addition to these top music artists, all other ordinary audiences couldn't help but become nervous when listening to Wang Qian's music, as if they were in a storm, unable to control themselves and very dangerous. However, there was no despair in the music, only an uplifting emotion of self-help, which made them nervous and excited at the same time.
Many people listened to the music and watched Wang Qian's devoted performance, and couldn't help but wonder: Is this a true master of music? I really love him!
The many celebrity artists, singers and musicians in the front row all looked engaged and shocked.
Ellie behind Kristen said: "He is simply the god of music. He can use music to stir our emotions at will and weave clear pictures for us at will. I have no idea how he does it! In fact, this is the first time I have heard a guzheng performance."
Garbo said calmly: "If you knew, you could do it too."
Ellie kept silent.
Christine didn't talk to them, but closed her eyes and listened to the music carefully.
On stage.
Wang Qian immersed himself completely in the performance. This "Zhan Typhoon", one of the few guzheng pieces he remembered from his previous life, was a landmark piece in the guzheng field and a landmark work that distinguished the ancient and modern history of guzheng development.
The performance techniques of this piece of music have opened up many new ways that have never been used before.
Wang Qian performed it extremely skillfully and perfectly, and also expressed the artistic conception of the song perfectly.
Just as Wang Qian has told everyone - the essence of music is the expression and resonance of emotions!
That's what he's doing now.
Sophie, who stayed backstage, stared at Wang Qian and murmured in a low voice: "He is not on the same level as all of us. He is independent of the world."
Jennifer was not so absorbed in the listening, she just thought it was pleasant and exciting. After hearing Sophie's words, she asked, "How many levels do you think the players in this world competition are divided into? Is Wang Qian the first?"
Sophie's eyes did not leave Wang Qian, but she also answered Jennifer's words: "In terms of overall musical understanding, Wang Qian is number one in the entire world! Of course, he is also number one among the ten of us. Secondly, I am number two, Miyuki Nakamori is number three, Adam and Elizabeth are number four, and the others do not exist!"
Jennifer looked at Sophie with wide eyes to make sure that Sophie was not joking.
Everyone else doesn't exist? Only the top five players exist?
Miyuki Nakamori is ranked above Adam and Elizabeth?
However, thinking of Miyuki Nakamori's amazing performance just now, Jennifer also acknowledged that Miyuki Nakamori's strength and talent were even higher than Adam and Elizabeth, and Sophie also had extraordinary talent and attainments in the field of classical music, so it was natural for her to be ranked second!
seemingly……
Does this ranking make sense? Jennifer thinks that the show crew can hype up this topic later, and perhaps create a lot of heat.
Topics like rankings will never go out of date.
At this time...
Wang Qian on the stage, his hands on the guzheng strings began to relax, and his mood became cheerful, as if the storm had passed, the rain had stopped, and everyone had survived and defeated the storm.
Ding ding ding…
After another rapid rhythm.
Wang Qian's hands suddenly stopped, then he slowly retracted them and looked at the entire audience.
After a few seconds of silence, the audience of more than 20,000 people burst into warm applause.
Tang Wenqing, Professor Zhang, Xu Xiaoxiao, Xu Wenwen and other teachers and students from several music and art colleges in China immediately stood up and applauded vigorously with great excitement.
Then, teachers and students from famous schools such as Taylor and Dawson, Hoffman, Max, Malone, etc. also stood up. They knew very well how wonderful Wang Qian's performance was today, so they did not hesitate to give their applause.
The others also stood up.
So, within a few seconds, everyone in the audience stood up and applauded loudly.
Many celebrity artists in the front row were no exception and stood up and applauded excitedly.
Robert, O'Connor, Lillard and others who had just said they would not applaud Wang Qian also stood up at the first moment and gave applause to Wang Qian.
They all admitted in their hearts that Wang Qian's guzheng performance was really great. Even though it was their first time listening to a guzheng performance, they could still clearly understand what the piece expressed.
Yunna praised in a low voice: "He is really a master of music art, so amazing, no wonder he can keep breaking world records."
The audience continued to applaud.
Wang Qian smiled slightly, bowed lightly to everyone, and then stood there facing everyone, calmly accepting such warm applause.
