Chapter 430 429. Just a tough fight! What you think is difficult, I think is very simple!
No matter how nervous Robert was now, he smiled calmly on the surface, as if he was just interacting with Wang Qian in a friendly manner.
Robert knew that he could not give in now, nor could he retreat, otherwise his status in the circle would decline a lot, and he might even lose his footing.
Even if I lose in the end, it's better than being a coward now.
Seeing Robert's performance, some experts who have worked on variety shows are somewhat suspicious whether the production team has communicated with Robert in advance and is just performing according to the script? Jennifer's ears also quickly heard the voice of the production team director: "Control the situation, follow Wang Qian's opinions, and protect Wang Qian as much as possible."
The entire program team knows that Wang Qian is now the face of the World Championship and the ratings guy.
Once Wang Qian has a problem...
The image and ratings of the entire program team will be in big trouble, which will greatly affect the overall revenue, which is something they cannot accept.
so.
Anyway.
The main goal is to protect Wang Qian.
In fact, Jennifer didn't need the program team to remind her. She followed her own heart and focused on protecting Wang Qian. She instinctively took a step forward, blocking Wang Qian half a step behind her, and smiled at Robert, "Mr. Robert, were you the one who was talking just now?"
Robert remained undeterred, sitting there steadily, waving at the camera again, and then said to Jennifer and Wang Qian: "Yes, Jenny, it was me who was talking just now."
Jennifer continued, "So, Mr. Robert, what do you want to say?"
Robert also kept smiling and said with the same certainty: "I just said some of my ideas. It is indeed very difficult to create on the spot. I wonder if the Chinese contestant Wang Qian is not prepared, so he dare not fulfill his promise today?"
Robert deliberately called Wang Qian a Chinese player instead of calling him Professor Wang Qian like everyone else did, hoping to use rhetoric to elevate his own status and belittle Wang Qian.
The atmosphere on the scene became even quieter!
The many celebrities and musicians around Robert even lowered their breathing, as if they were afraid of disturbing Robert.
Yuna, O'Connor, Lillard and others looked at Robert with a little admiration.
Their small group came together to resist and fight against Wang Qian, but they all admired Wang Qian's talent and strength very much, and there was no doubt about that.
At the same time, they are also wary of Wang Qian's super popularity around the world and the many capital forces behind the Voice of China program team, so they dare not target Wang Qian openly. They can only use their own works to impact Wang Qian's sales, and occasionally spread some negative comments about Wang Qian in private, and dare not confront Wang Qian head-on.
And now...
Robert was the first big-name North American singer to directly compete with Wang Qiangang.
Moreover, it was not just a direct confrontation, but a direct conversation with Wang Qian on the live broadcast stage of the World Championship.
this……
Many people in the European and American entertainment circles felt tremendous pressure and admired Robert's courage.
However, some people who support Wang Qian also dislike Robert.
For example, Ellie whispered, "Robert is deliberately looking for trouble. Professor Wang Qian's promise was not for today."
Green also agreed and said, "Who says it's not true? Robert and his group have been targeting Professor Wang Qian. A few days ago, they invited me to join them, saying that we should encircle and suppress Professor Wang Qian and drive him out of North America. I rejected it outright. If North America loses Professor Wang Qian's music, it will be our loss. I didn't expect that they would dare to target Professor Wang Qian in front of the whole world. They are no longer musicians, but a group of politicians with their own goals."
Christine nodded slightly. She also couldn't stand Robert and his group engaging in small group politics, but she knew that Robert was indeed putting Wang Qian on the spot in front of the whole world.
Wang Qian has a very tall image in the eyes of all his fans and passers-by around the world, because he has earned it with his classic original works and explosive live performances, as well as his musical talent that is recognized by classical music artists all over the world.
In the eyes of many fans and passers-by, Wang Qian is synonymous with omnipotence in the field of music and can create pleasant-sounding music at will.
Even if it was a creation task assigned on the spot, in their eyes, it was a very simple and easy task for Wang Qian.
so……
Even if Robert was being unreasonable and making trouble, Wang Qian's promise was not for today.
But as long as Wang Qian refused.
Then, in the hearts of many people, Wang Qian's image will decline a little. Although it is not fatal, it will not be so mythical.
In the view of Robert, O'Connor and others, this is the first step to defeat Wang Qian.
First, we need to shatter the mythical image of Wang Qian as an omnipotent being in many people’s minds.
If we find an opportunity to defeat Wang Qian in the pop music market later, we can completely defeat Wang Qian and drive him out of Europe and the United States.
Jiabao said worriedly: "But Professor Wang Qian is totally unprepared!"
Christine's eyes were full of worry, and there was only Wang Qian's figure in her pupils.
Yes……
Many people have this concern.
Wang Qian was totally unprepared.
Tang Wenqing, Xu Wenwen, Xu Xiaoxiao and others, as well as Chen Xiaowen, Liu Shengnan, Ru Ke, Yu Jingruo and Li Qingyao, all looked at Wang Qian with concern.
In the lounge, Murong Yue stood up and shouted angrily: "This old guy is not a good guy."
Jiang Yu also frowned and said, "Well, Professor Wang has not prepared any other performances at all!"
Qin Xuerong said worriedly, "Then just reject it. Why didn't the production team take control? Why did they let this guy cause trouble?"
Juliet also said worriedly: "The production team doesn't dare to make any moves right now. It's being broadcast live around the world. And Robert is not a simple person. He's sitting in the first row and has a lot of supporters behind him."
Several people felt helpless and were very worried about Wang Qian.
Miyuki Nakamori, who had just calmed down in the lounge, was also very worried at this moment. She frowned slightly and said, "Wang Qianjun, just refuse. The Americans will always find ways to embarrass us. Just don't give them the chance."
Miyuki Nakamori lived in North America for a while, but it was less than a year. She then returned to the island country and never came back. This place was really unfriendly to her.
Qian Yu Zhenzhu looked at Wang Qian on the TV screen and said softly, "I think, with Professor Wang's style, he might agree to it."
Miyuki Nakamori sighed.
…
Sophie, who was standing backstage without leaving, looked very calm. With her hands behind her back, she just looked at Wang Qian quietly. She glanced at Robert in the audience with a hint of disdain in her eyes, and then looked at Wang Qian expectantly. She believed that Wang Qian could solve any problem.
Wang Qian, who was standing on the stage, took a step forward and stopped Jennifer from continuing to speak. He looked down at Robert and said calmly, "Mr. Robert cares about me a lot."
Robert continued to smile and said as if he was chatting, "That's not the case. I just wanted to tell everyone and help you explain it. I think everyone will forgive you, right? It's normal to be afraid because you're not prepared."
The surroundings were still quiet, with only O'Connor and the musicians in the small group around him, as well as a dozen actors not far away, laughing out loud, as if to support Robert's words.
Ever since Wang Qian became famous, there have been constant voices in Hollywood calling for a boycott against him. Several actors have even become famous because of this. Naturally, these people will not miss the opportunity to defeat Wang Qian.
Jennifer wanted to speak up to help Wang Qian, but Wang Qian said again: "Mr. Robert, I didn't even know who you were before today. Originally, I promised that the official competition would be held next week. I think anyone who understands English will not have heard it wrong."
The smile and calm expression on Robert's face froze for a moment.
Wang Qian continued, "But... I saw many professional musicians and producers say that this is very difficult. That's why Mr. Robert did this just now, thinking that I can't do it, right?"
Robert shrugged, pretending to be indifferent.
The scene was also silent.
The program crew also hesitated for a moment.
On the one hand, they don't like such uncontrolled performances. No one knows how it will develop in the end. Once it gets out of control, the entire program team's efforts for so long may go to waste, and the loss will be immeasurable.
But, on the other hand, such explosive and eye-catching scenes are the audiences' favorite to watch. At this moment, the global viewership has risen again and returned to the peak period of last week. The global viewership has directly reached 3.5 billion and is almost reaching 3.6 billion. Almost half of the people in the world are watching the current live broadcast!
Everyone wanted to know what would happen next, would the two of them fight on the stage?
Will Wang Qian create on the spot? Public opinion on social media in various countries has exploded, and the popularity is far greater than any previous performance.
Conflict and suspense are the keys to sparking public opinion.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Jennifer said, "Mr. Robert..."
She wanted Robert to shut up.
Wang Qian waved his hand and continued talking, interrupting Jennifer. He looked at Robert and the gloating eyes around Robert, and said easily, "In fact, what you think is very difficult may be very simple for me. This is not difficult. Although, I am not mentally prepared at all. But I also believe that I can handle it."
"Well, I'll just fulfill my promise from last week today. But there won't be any next week, I guess that's okay?"
Almost everyone at the scene, including teachers and students from famous music schools, stared at Wang Qian with a hint of surprise. No one expected that Wang Qian would actually agree in front of the whole world.
According to their rational thinking, rejection is the best way to deal with it.
Even if it would damage Wang Qian's mythical image, as long as he doesn't fail on the spot, he will have a chance to make up for it in the future.
If we hastily agree to it now and fail in the end, it will not just be a decline in our image.
If one thing goes wrong, Wang Qian’s overall popularity will drop significantly.
Robert laughed, clapped his hands first, and shouted loudly: "Good!"
O'Connor, Lillard and others around him also applauded, and those Hollywood actors who boycotted Wang Qian also applauded. The applause in the audience started out sporadically, and then became more and more enthusiastic. Almost all the ordinary audiences were applauding enthusiastically.
Ordinary audiences don’t care about all that. They are here to see the performance. If they can see more exciting performances, they will naturally look forward to and support it.
Many audience members outside the venue also expressed their support on social media platforms in various countries, and they all wanted to see Wang Qian's live creative performance right now.
Wang Qian said directly to Robert: "Mr. Robert will be one of the question setters. I think no one objects, right?"
Robert stood up while clapping, bowed slightly to everyone, and said loudly: "It is my honor."
The director's voice came from Jennifer's earphones: "Jenny, stop it quickly. Put this performance at the end. Let Wang Qian take a break and give him some time to prepare."
Jennifer quickly took back the initiative and shouted, "Hey, guys, wait a minute. Professor Wang Qian just finished his performance. He should go off the stage to rest for a while before going back on stage to prepare for the performance, okay? In addition to Mr. Robert, we will draw one question setter from the judges and two from the audience, for a total of four question setters!"
Wang Qian had no objection to this, he smiled and said, "Of course."
After saying that, Wang Qian waved to the audience, smiled and pointed his finger towards Robert, as if he was saying hello to him, then turned and walked backstage.
The stiff smile on Robert's face gradually disappeared. He stared at Wang Qian's back and then said in a low voice coldly: "I will definitely teach him a lesson later!"
O'Connor whispered, "We must make him fail, otherwise we will all be very uncomfortable."
Now they have revealed their cards in front of the whole world, and whoever loses in the end will bear serious consequences.
Although there is no such thing as a bet.
However, a sharp decline in popularity is inevitable.
For star singers, a decline in popularity is a fatal loss.
With such attention and scenes, a decline in status is a small matter. If you are not careful, you may never recover and have to quit the circle.
Wang Qian walked out of the stage and saw Sophie standing there. He smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."
Sophie also smiled faintly: "I believe you can do it, they are just a bunch of politicians and clowns."
Wang Qian felt better: "Come on, I look forward to your piano performance."
Next, Sophie will be the second to appear and she will also perform a piano performance.
Sophie: "Don't worry, I won't disgrace your song."
With that, Sophie turned and walked toward the stage, Jennifer already calling her name.
Wang Qian watched Sophie go on stage, turned around and was about to go back to his lounge, when he saw Zhou Qinghua waving at him not far away with a serious expression.
Wang Qian walked over and said, "Director Zhou, what's wrong?"
Zhou Qinghua smiled bitterly and said, "My Professor Wang, you are too impulsive."
Wang Qian said calmly: "They are taking advantage of me, I must return the favor."
Zhou Qinghua softened his tone and asked, "Are you sure? The entire production team is very nervous right now, and many of us depend on you for our livelihood."
Wang Qian laughed, looked at Zhou Qinghua and said, "How should I know? I don't know the title. This is a real live creation. You have the ability to bribe Robert."
Zhou Qinghua frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, knowing that this was impossible.
Robert obviously has a strong purpose and is here for Wang Qian. It is impossible for him to give up halfway unless the program team offers him a huge benefit.
However, it is obviously impossible for the program team to spend a huge price to get Robert!
so……
In the end, it is still up to Wang Qian to face it.
but!
Zhou Qinghua thought of the other three people who set the questions.
Wang Qian immediately said, "Just draw randomly, don't do those fake things, now that we have started, let's do it for real."
Zhou Qinghua frowned again.
Are you really serious? (End of this chapter)
