Chapter 456 455. Rock among rock, historic guitar solo!

actually!

Look at the lineup on the stage.

The ten judges didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, this is the accompaniment team of one of the world's top orchestras, and one of the world's top ten pianists has joined.

The accompaniment lineup alone is not something they can comment on casually.

If they dare to comment on Ma Long's performance here, then those music artists on social platforms will start to criticize them...

And Sophie's performance did indeed amaze them.

They are all relatively old-school and pure musicians, so they all highly recognize the artistry of Sophie's work and some musical breakthroughs! In other words, they are really not as good as Sophie in terms of professionalism, and they are not qualified to evaluate Sophie.

Therefore, they really don't dare to speak easily for fear of offending others.

However, Cui Wenfeng, who was sitting in the first seat, had to speak first, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Jennifer had walked onto the stage and gave Sophie a gentle hug, exclaiming, "I almost thought I was in heaven. You were singing hymns to God. It was so beautiful. The music and the singing were so beautiful."

Jennifer said this half-truthfully and half-exaggeratedly.

The applause at the scene gradually died down.

Sophie smiled and said, "Thank you."

Marlon stood quietly behind Sophie, acting as a tool.

However, Jennifer would not let go of Malone, a topic that could be hyped up, and asked Malone: ​​"Mr. Malone, did you participate in the creation of this piece?"

Ma Long shook his head affirmatively and said, "I am only responsible for the accompaniment. In fact, I am not very good at composing. Everything is Sophie's idea. She has had her own unique ideas about music since she was a child."

Everyone looked at Sophie in amazement. This symphony-like live accompaniment was actually completed by Sophie alone? She is really talented.

Only someone with amazing talent and background in the field of classical music can do this.

On the world stage, only Wang Qian and Sophie have such prerequisites.

After saying this, Ma Long took a step back and stood still, not wanting to steal the limelight from his daughter. He gave the stage to Sophie, and it was enough for him to just show up with the band.

Jennifer wanted to see Wang Qian's performance as soon as possible, so she didn't waste any time. She looked at the judges and asked, "Okay, then, how will our judges score and evaluate?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Cui Wenfeng in the first position again.

Cui Wenfeng smiled bitterly and said, "I don't dare to comment on this. I can only say that it is perfect. I give it full marks."

In fact, Cui Wenfeng didn't understand what Sophie sang at all, but he could clearly feel the mood and emotion of the work from Sophie's singing and music, which amazed him. In addition, with the accompaniment of the world's top orchestra and master pianist, he really couldn't find any points to deduct.

This was the first time he gave full marks to a contestant other than Wang Qian.

He had given eight points to other contestants before, and no one thought there was a problem.

However, if he gave Sophie an eight now, he would feel that there was something wrong.

So, he could only give full marks.

The translator repeated his words to everyone, and everyone applauded Cui Wenfeng.

Everyone knows that getting full marks from Cui Wenfeng is a rare thing.

The French judge gave full marks directly. While applauding, he said: "I give full marks. This is the most perfect time that Sophie has combined classical music and pop music. I just want to say that Sophie you are a unique genius. Mr. Malone's accompaniment also adds brilliance to this performance..."

Ceci also said solemnly: "Full marks, I can't think of any other score except full marks. Sophie definitely has the strength to win the championship..."

Everyone looked serious.

Perhaps, another perfect score is about to be born.

As expected, the other judges readily gave full marks and served as scoring tools with peace of mind.

"The performances of these two contestants were perfect. One took rock to the extreme, and the other combined classical and pop music perfectly. Both deserve full marks."

…

"I'm not qualified to review this performance, full marks!"

…

"Full marks are a must. Sophie has improved again in this performance, which is beyond my expectations."

…

"Full marks..."

…

After all judges have finished scoring.

There was warm applause again.

Sophie bowed slightly to the judges and thanked them: "Thank you, thank you..."

Jennifer also announced loudly: "Congratulations to Sophie, who also received full professional scores in the first performance. This final was so exciting. No one would object to saying that it was the most exciting musical collision in recent decades, right?"

The applause continued.

Christine, Green, Ellie, Garbo, Robert, Yuna, Sheena and others all applauded vigorously, expressing their approval of Sophie's performance and the perfect score.

At the same time, they also expressed their approval of Jennifer's words.

The collision in this finals really exceeded their previous understanding of music, and even many people in the pop music industry were no exception.

The applause gradually died down.

Sophie, Marlon and the band members began to slowly leave the stage.

It was now commercial break time. Jennifer interacted with several audience members. Seeing that most of the band members had left, she said loudly, "Sophie's amazing performance has ended. Now, we welcome Professor Wang Qian to bring us his second performance... I think everyone can't wait, right? In fact, I can't wait either. Let's welcome Professor Wang Qian..."

At this time, Wang Qian met Sophie again in the backstage. Because Ma Long was there, the two did not speak, but just smiled and nodded to each other, and then passed each other.

Then, Wang Qian slowly came to the stage with the band members.

Jennifer hugged Wang Qian again as if to manage her. "Professor Wang Qian, Sophie also got full marks in her major in the finals. Are you feeling any pressure now?"

Wang Qian looked at everyone and said with a smile: "There is no pressure, only happiness and excitement. I am very happy to see such a perfect performance by Sophie. I will also try my best to show my music. As for the final win or loss, it is not important to us..."

What Wang Qian said were both his and Sophie’s inner thoughts.

Standing on the stage, both of them were not so keen on winning the championship, but wanted to show their own music more.

However, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, He Fulin and others looked at Wang Qian's back very seriously. They did not want to lose. They knew best how many people in the country expected of Wang Qian.

If they lose, these countless expectations will turn into a torrential flood that will drown them all.

Zhou Qinghua and He Dongming who were in the studio of the program team backstage also had serious expressions. They knew that having come this far, they had to win. If they lost, they would be hit hard when they returned, and their careers might be over. They would never be able to survive in the domestic entertainment industry again.

Seeing the huge profits slipping away, those big guys will definitely be very angry and look for someone to vent their anger. Zhou Qinghua and Wang Qian will both become targets.

So, except Wang Qian, everyone else wants to win.

Jennifer nodded: "Okay, then, please start your performance."

The stage was left to Wang Qian.

Jennifer turned and left the stage.

Warm applause broke out again at the scene, and everyone looked at Wang Qian with great anticipation.

And this time.

The lights on the stage were not turned off to allow Wang Qian and others to set up the stage.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Qian and the band members brought up the musical instruments and equipment they had prepared, and tested them to make sure there were no problems. This took several minutes.

There were more than 20,000 people at the scene.

More than three billion viewers around the world were watching this scene intently in front of their TVs. Even if it was a bit boring, they all watched it with great interest. They felt a sense of novelty in exploring the behind-the-scenes stories, watching how Wang Qian and his band members prepared for a performance and how they performed on stage.

After it’s done!

Under everyone's astonished gaze.

Wang Qian stood in front of the microphone with a double bass on his back and said softly, "This is a rock song I've wanted to sing to all of you for a long time."

Behind, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, and Juliet were already ready.

Zhao Wei and He Fulin acted as spectators.

Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise and anticipation.

Because this was the first time that Wang Qian spoke to them so solemnly before a performance, which meant that this piece of work was extraordinary, or it had extraordinary meaning to Wang Qian.

Judges such as Cui Wenfeng and Ceci, as well as contestants such as Miyuki Nakamori, Adam, and Elizabeth, and a group of big-name entertainment stars from all over the world in the audience, all looked at Wang Qian with excitement and anticipation.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Many people couldn't help but want to applaud, but they were afraid of delaying Wang Qian's performance, so they resisted the urge to applaud.

Wang Qian also started directly and began playing on the bass with both hands.

Jiang Yu and others also started to play in cooperation.

A gorgeous and sad music sounded.

Many people looked at Wang Qian in surprise. The opening music sounded like folk and country music. Was it rock?

Professional musicians such as Kristen, Ellie, Green, Miyuki Nakamori, Adam, Elizabeth and others all stared at Wang Qian and pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any details of Wang Qian's performance and singing.

At this time, Wang Qian was also playing and singing into the microphone, and his voice was sad and touching.

"There's a lady who's sure all that glittlers is gold..."

"And she's buying a stairway to heaven."

"When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed!"

"With a word she can get what she came for!"

This singing style and voice, which was completely different from Wang Qian's previous singing, surprised all the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV.

It was as if a door to heaven had opened for them, and Wang Qian was communicating with God through music.

The sad singing and music made everyone feel heavy.

This was completely different from Wang Qian’s previous frenzy that ignited everyone.

But……

This feeling makes everyone feel as if something deep in their heart has been caught.

Wang Qian's singing continues.

"ooh...ooh..."

"and she's buying a stairway to heaven..."

"there's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure..."

“cause you know sometimes words have to meanings…”

"In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings!"

“Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven…”

"Ooh it makes me wonder."

"Ooh it makes me wonder."

…

Everyone who listens to the song carefully will find that the lyrics of this song sung by Wang Qian are very meaningful, the singing is very sad, and it is not a love song, so it is worth careful consideration.

But what impressed all the insiders even more was Wang Qian's guitar playing.

The ever-changing guitar melody made everyone in the industry prick up their ears, not wanting to miss a syllable, and those in rock bands were even more excited, as if they had discovered something extraordinary.

Many fans who understand rock music were also very excited, and everyone gradually understood the meaning of what Wang Qian said at the beginning.

Also, the song is significantly longer.

In the middle of Wang Qian's singing, he let out a hoarse shout, startling everyone at the scene.

Then, Wang Qian actually stood in the center of the stage holding a bass and began his solo!

Hands flying...

The beat keeps changing strangely, but it doesn't seem messy at all. Instead, it fits the theme of the song better, making people feel like the gate of heaven has been opened and Wang Qian is constantly telling God something with his guitar.

Everyone inexplicably had a sacred feeling, as if they were listening to Sophie's symphony hymn just now.

But……

This is rock and roll!

Although Wang Qian's singing style so far seems very sad and low-key, like a folk singer, the heavy metal flavor of the music has not changed at all, it is definitely rock!

Especially now Wang Qian's solo is the rock of rock! All the fans who like heavy metal and rock at the scene and in front of the TV are very excited, as if they have discovered a huge treasure.

And Wang Qian's solo did not stop at all...

He seemed to be talking about something excitedly.

In his hands, the bass seems to have become a talking living creature, and every piece of music seems to be endowed with spirituality.

call……

finally!

Several members of the rock band sitting in the front center area couldn't help but stand up, as if they could hear more clearly while standing, and their eyes were fixed on Wang Qian.

Many other fans of heavy metal also stood up.

Basically, most of the people who were able to come to the scene today came for Wang Qian. They all saw Wang Qian's hot live performance on TV, so they spent a lot of money to buy tickets. Naturally, most of these people are loyal rock fans.

Therefore, most of the audience can see and hear what Wang Qian's performance at this moment represents.

Most people stood up, and the others who were still sitting felt embarrassed to continue sitting there, so they stood up as well.

Many big-name star singers in the front row also stood up, staring with wide eyes at Wang Qian who was completely immersed in the bass solo, as if they were watching something extremely incredible.

Someone has said before that Wang Qian's guitar and bass are both world-class.

But……

That was not convincing, just occasionally demonstrated.

But now.

No one will question this statement anymore.

On the contrary, many professionals feel that this underestimates Wang Qian.

Wang Qian's guitar skills are clearly of historic level, enough to be compared with the top guitar masters in rock history...
