Chapter 293 Solemn music, enveloping five thousand years of glory.
"Tianyi, what is he planning to do?"
"I support Tianyi because I can't stand Jingbian's arrogant and domineering attitude."
"This is a typical case of someone who is incompetent and tries to shift the blame to the audience and listeners."
"Even the legendary musician wouldn't dare say such a thing, so what gives him the right to do so?"
"Pah, what a scoundrel."
"..."
At this moment, it's not just Chinese netizens who are unhappy about the well; even Japanese netizens feel the same way.
On the screen, Jingbian had already been cursed countless times.
There was once a stupid director who said the same thing. At the time, people thought it was because his movies were good and full of artistry. Later they found out that he was just being pretentious and that his own level was too bad, so he said that.
Unexpectedly, the same applies to the music industry as to the directing industry, and the discrimination is even more blatant than that in the directing industry. They openly stated in front of so many media outlets that ordinary people cannot appreciate music, and that it is something only sophisticated people can appreciate.
At the venue.
All the musicians looked surprised.
They were not surprised by Jingbian's attitude or words, but by Zhou Tianyi's words.
Although what Jingbian said seemed excessive to them, it was already a consensus within the circle, but no one had said it out loud.
To their surprise, Zhou Tianyi had no right to say such a thing; he was just a singer.
What did he mean by the last sentence, in particular?
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Zhou Tianyi, standing by the well on the stage, stared at him with horror. He said coldly, "Ten minutes not enough? Sorry, I can only give you ten minutes. Do you really think you can get on stage like this? This stage isn't something you can just walk onto casually?"
"Tianyi, don't lower yourself to his level," Wu Tianen advised. Although Jingbian spoke arrogantly, he was not without strength. On the contrary, his strength was enough to rank among the top ten in the entire arena, which was why he was so arrogant.
Fearing that Zhou Tianyi would suffer a loss, Wu Tianen, knowing Zhou Tianyi's temperament, quickly spoke up to persuade him.
Zhou Tianyi shook his head: "Teacher Tianen, it's no longer a matter of knowledge. Since he wants to seek his own death, there's no reason for us to give him a way out. Ten minutes to play a complete piece of music is indeed not enough, but a portion of it is sufficient."
He wasn't just saying this to Wu Tianen, but to everyone else as well. It was a matter of the dignity of the Celestial Empire, and it was no longer a matter of personal gain or loss. So no matter what Wu Tianen said, he couldn't back down.
Wu Tianen quickly understood Zhou Tianyi's words, and his anger towards Jingbian deepened. He wanted to slap him twice to vent his anger, but he knew that now was not the time to vent his anger.
He was somewhat worried that once Zhou Tianyi took the stage, he would make the situation irreversible, especially considering that there were many cameras covering this grand event…
"Tianyi, if you feel you don't have enough time, I have another fifteen minutes of performance time, which I can give you."
After a moment of contemplation, Wu Tianen said that he didn't know whether it was a deliberate arrangement by the organizers or for some other reason, but his performance was right after the well.
Hearing Wu Tianen's words, Jingbian sneered. He didn't think that a mere ten minutes would be enough to show others the power of Chinese music. In his opinion, China had no music; they simply didn't have the soil to cultivate music.
"Ten minutes isn't enough, I'll give you the last five minutes. I want to see what you're capable of."
Jingbian generously gave Zhou Tianyi all his time—thirty minutes—and he didn't believe Zhou Tianyi could turn the tide.
The scene fell silent. Apart from the clicking of the cameras, there was almost no other sound. Everyone looked at Zhou Tianyi, waiting for his reply.
Seeing everyone's expressions, how could Zhou Tianyi possibly disappoint them? So he thought for a moment and said, "Half an hour, although it's still not enough, it's about right."
After saying that, he turned and glanced at An Yutang. The other party understood what he meant and smiled, "Good luck."
When Zhou Tianyi actually agreed to the request to perform on stage by the well, the people in the hall had very different expressions. They shook their heads, thinking that this young man was somewhat ignorant of his own limitations.
Although the other person's dancing is indeed very cool, music is not dance. Without a solid foundation, it is impossible to create excellent works. Otherwise, music would not have developed steadily for decades.
The live stream attracted a billion viewers, becoming a global phenomenon with countless eyes glued to it.
Reporters today are not stingy at all, focusing their cameras frantically on Zhou Tianyi.
"Is this the world-famous superstar from China? Does he really understand music?"
"He is not only Zhou Tianyi, but also a dragon. He can sing, dance and act. He is a true world superstar."
"Tianyi, we must teach the puppets a lesson and let them know what happens when they underestimate us."
"Although I can't stand Jingbian, I support Jingbian. Zhou Tianyi is not even as good as one of Jingbian's toes."
"Indian music is the strongest; music from other countries isn't even music."
"South Korea's music is world-class; China's music was all learned by stealing from us."
"..."
While netizens were discussing, the venue had already prepared everything, and all sorts of Chinese musical instruments were brought onto the Lelai stage.
Drums, flutes, suonas, guqin... as if prepared in advance, were all played in a row under Zhou Tianyi's direction in less than ten minutes.
