This star doesn’t work overtime

As a music program producer who graduated from Moyin, Hu Xiaoshan is very aware of how direct and cruel the overt and covert competition between several prestigious domestic and foreign music schools in this musician program is.

He still remembered that at the beginning of the show, there was an 18-year-old talented violinist from the local Magic Music. After performing on the stage, he was so shocked by two judges from a famous foreign school that he cried and left on the spot. After that, he fell into despair and is still depressed to this day. , the level has not improved. If you can't get out of this psychological shadow in the future, you may stop here for the rest of your life.

Of course, domestic judges will not be polite to contestants from famous foreign schools who perform poorly.

Last month, a domestic judge criticized a talented young piano player from the Vienna Conservatory of Music in Europe for being worthless. The player also left China and returned to Europe that same day. It is said that he saw a psychiatrist as soon as he returned.

The contestants who can be selected from several prestigious music schools are all geniuses among geniuses. Naturally, they are all arrogant. Once they fail, they will suffer an even greater blow. Those who are more fragile may really He fell into a whirlpool of self-doubt and could no longer use his talent and strength.

In addition to the relatively friendly exchanges between several famous music schools at home and abroad at the beginning, the competition gradually became extremely fierce. Each school wanted to strive for a better ranking to prove itself, so it would also look for opportunities to attack rival schools. player.

This is also a very common operation in the artist circle.

The top international artist circles, and even the big guys in the scientific academic circles, will attack the big guys with the opposite stance like shrews.

Although Wang Cheng was only a special guest this time, he did not participate in the competition.

However, it also represents the face of the Chinese music circle.

If Wang Cheng's performance is too poor and several foreign judges seize the opportunity, they will unceremoniously belittle Wang Cheng as worthless.

That was not only a blow to Wang Cheng, but also a blow to the entire Chinese music circle.

because……

Wang Cheng's popularity and attention are really too high.

If in normal times, other domestic contestants fail and are judged to have a fight with the other players, that's it. The ratings are not high anyway, that is, they are just spread among their own circles, and there is almost nothing to the outside world. People know.

but……

When Wang Cheng performed on stage, the ratings were definitely much higher than usual.

Once the performance fails, or if the performance is not good and is pointed out on the spot by the judges from top foreign universities, it will not be an ordinary shame.

Seeing that Wang Cheng was still unimpressed, Hu Xiaoshan said in a low voice: "Wang Cheng, Wen Yixiao is also going to perform on stage. She is playing a classical piano piece recommended by the head of the piano department of Yangyin University. I am very grateful to you. My suggestion is that you can play the guzheng piece you played last time, General Order. This piece has been recognized by many guzheng masters in China, and is also explained in classes in several prestigious music schools."

"It is said that some Chinese classical music lovers abroad also study it. There is no doubt about the standard. If you play this piece, they won't say anything."

Li Guang also suggested softly: "Wang Cheng, Lao Hu graduated from the Magic Piano Department before, and also went to Manhattan, North America for exchanges. He is the one who knows the most about music and art in our TV station. So, you can give his suggestions. Think about it."

Wang Cheng opened his eyes and glanced at Hu Xiaoshan. He was curious that this top piano student from Moyin would come to the TV station to be a program producer. He still said in a light tone: "You can arrange whatever you want."

Hu Xiaoshan suppressed some anger in his heart, and immediately said: "Okay, I will ask the program team to arrange a guzheng performance for you!"

Wang Cheng nodded: "Okay!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Li Guang reached out and patted Hu Xiaoshan's arm, telling him not to be angry, and said with a smile: "Then let's perform the guzheng. Last time at the Idols of Tomorrow, I watched Wang Cheng's General Order live performance. Let me I was so shocked! Professor Xu said at that time that your guzheng level is at least among the top five in the country. Today, our musician program can invite the top guzheng masters in the country to perform. It is also an honor for us."

After a pause in his tone, Li Guang said again: "By the way. Wang Cheng, Professor Xu will also come here today. He heard that you were going to perform at our musician stage, so he came over from Sichuan Sound all night."

Wang Cheng had a pretty good impression of Xu Chaohua and nodded.

Seeing that Wang Cheng didn't want to talk, Li Guang winked at Hu Xiaoshan and signaled to be quiet and stop talking to Wang Cheng.

Hu Xiaoshan was speechless. He didn't want to talk to Wang Cheng either...

Immediately, the car became quiet.

Only Wang Cheng was leaning back on his chair with his eyes closed and concentrating. Li Guang, Hu Xiaoshan, and Wang Cheng's three assistants all took out their mobile phones and were checking messages.

Hu Xiaoshan met Wang Cheng for the first time and had been observing secretly and curiously.

I was a little surprised to see Wang Cheng checking his phone without taking the time, and believed some rumors that Wang Cheng was like a retired cadre.

After all, today's young and middle-aged people cannot live without their mobile phones at all. It can even be said that they cannot leave their mobile phones for a while.

If a young person is not allowed to touch his mobile phone for a day, he may spend that day in anxiety.

but……

Wang Cheng stopped playing with his mobile phone at this time.

He had seen that Wang Cheng never interacted with everyone on Weibo, and it was normal not to send a message for several months. He thought that Wang Cheng might be aloof and ignored people, but he didn't believe that Wang Cheng really didn't use his mobile phone.

After all, almost all entertainment is available on mobile phones. If you leave your mobile phone, what other entertainment items can you use to pass the time?

At this time, Hu Xiaoshan slightly believed that Wang Cheng might really not play with his mobile phone at all.

The car soon arrived at the filming base in the suburbs. This is an older performance venue rented by Dragon TV specifically for the musician program team. It was the performance base of the old drama club. Later, the drama club moved away. It became vacant and was rented by Dragon TV cheaply as a program recording base.

The car just stopped.

A large and dense group of people came to the door, craning their necks to look at the nanny van that was slowly approaching not far away. Most of them were young women, mostly students from major music conservatories, and there were There were at least hundreds of other viewers, as well as the staff of the program itself.

There were also some well-known young celebrities in the crowd joining in the fun.

There are also teachers and students from other universities, such as Chen Yuqi and Yu Hong.

Chen Yuqi stood on tiptoes and looked at the nanny car that was driving in. She put her hand on her forehead to block the light and said curiously: "Wang Cheng hasn't gotten out of the car yet. He might not be able to see Wang Cheng clearly from such a distance. Hey, it would be great if we could get there." .”

Chen Yuqi looked enviously at the dozen people picking up the car not far away, including directors, teachers and students from several music academies, and several big-name celebrities.

Yu Hong's eyes flickered, and he gently tiptoed, saying softly: "It's good to have a look..."

This time I was able to come and participate in the recording of the musician's program. Even though I was just sitting in the audience, it was a spot that Yu Hong had to put in a lot of effort to get.

It was still early for her to ask for a spot. If she asked for a spot now, she might not even be able to get one based on her qualifications!

Because it is more popular now.

The show is about to officially start recording.

There are still many people who want to come to the show through connections...

But there are no more places.

This time the musician revealed that the seats in the auditorium at the recording site are much more popular than most people imagine.

As a professor at Shuangxing University, Yu Hong knew that it was not easy for the program group to gather the audience during the previous recordings. He would have to go to several music conservatories to recruit teachers and students to gather the number of people. Sometimes he would go to several local places in Magic City if he was anxious. A school recruits people to recruit students.

Yu Hong’s students have had the experience of coming to this program group to recruit people.

so……

The audience for the musician's show suddenly became so popular this time, and many people knew that these people were here for Wang Cheng.

Chen Yuqi sighed slightly and said in a low voice: "It would be great if I could participate in the last recording of Wenhua Zhongyuan. It would definitely be the happiest thing to see Wang Cheng writing The Heroic Journey on the spot!"

Chen Yuqi's eyes were full of longing when she thought of the painting "Xia Ke Xing Xing". After watching the live broadcast, she was so excited that she didn't sleep in the middle of the night. She picked up a brush and copied it several times on the spot, and finally fell asleep because she was too tired.

Yu Hong also copied it several times and liked the poem very much. Of course, he especially liked the cursive calligraphy of a knight.

pity.

Yu Hong looked at the dozen or so people at the front who picked up the car, among them a girl who appeared like a fairy descending from the earth.

That was Wen Yixiao.

She knew that the cursive calligraphy painting of Xia Ke Xing was in Wen Yixiao's hands.

Wen Yixiao over there seemed to feel a lot of eyes watching her from behind, so she turned around and saw Yu Hong. The two looked at each other, and then nodded lightly together.

Chen Yuqi saw Wen Yixiao looking towards her and whispered: "Wen Yixiao was so lucky. Wang Cheng used her pen, ink, paper and inkstone to give her a cursive calligrapher's journey! It was a master-level cursive calligraphy, better than It’s hard to imagine that Professor Xi’s cursive script still has charm. It was written by Wang Cheng, a master in cursive script and a master in running script. He is only nineteen years old, how did he do it?”

Yu Hong knew that the professor Chen Yuqi was talking about was Xi Beirong, a visiting professor at Peking University, one of the vice-presidents of the Beijing Calligraphy Association, and one of the two cursive masters in contemporary Chinese calligraphy circles!

Of course she knew that Professor Xi Beirong's cursive calligraphy in his peak period could not compare with the chivalrous calligraphy written by Wang Cheng.

Now Xi Beirong is eighty-one years old and his health is almost failing. He has not lectured at Peking University for several years. He has only been a visiting professor and has not written seriously for ten years.

As for the cursive calligraphy master in the south...

Yu Hong can also see that he is also not as good as Wang Cheng.

so!

From Yu Hong's perspective, Wang Cheng can now be said to be the best cursive calligrapher in the country, and he can also be the best running calligrapher!

Regardless of any other achievements, these two names alone are enough to make Wang Cheng a Beidou-level presence in the field of Chinese studies, enough to become a guest of any prestigious school in the country.

pity……

Wang Cheng did not choose to integrate into this circle.

Yu Hong heard from the vice president of Double Star University that Wang Cheng did not respond to any invitations from calligraphy associations and writers associations, nor did he respond to any academic exchange invitations from prestigious universities, including those from Double Star University, Jingcheng University and Shuimu University. .

Wang Cheng rejected literary circles, as well as academic circles.

Then, the literary and academic circles will naturally not publicly recognize and praise Wang Cheng.

Even though Yu Hong discussed Wang Cheng's humble house inscription and running script calligraphy with several students during her lecture yesterday, she did not shy away from her admiration for Wang Cheng in class.

However, her words won't have any effect if they get out.

Yu Hong sighed slightly.

When she heard from the vice president that Double Star University had sent an invitation to Wang Cheng for academic discussions, she was expecting Wang Cheng to agree, so that she could have a face-to-face talk with Wang Cheng at close range.

Unfortunately, no chance.

There were discussions around him, and when he heard these voices, Yu Hong felt a little worried.

"I can finally see Wang Cheng in real life. I wonder if he is as handsome as on TV."

"So what if I meet a real person? What does it have to do with you?"

"I heard that Wang Chenglai is going to perform on the Musicians' Program this time. His guzheng song "Jiang Ling" is very good. I studied it in school. It's easy to play and it sounds good."

"The musician stage this time is not a talent show stage like Tomorrow's Idol. What we are facing here are world-class classical music and art talents and judges from top prestigious schools. His performance will be pointed out if he fails to do so..."

"I think he is so talented. He is just a star, and so many people come to welcome him! I don't believe that he has such great attainments in classical music that he has the ability to go on stage and compete with the contestants in this period."

"He is very good at pop music, but forget about classical music. This is a different field. Those top players can embarrass him to the point of being ashamed..."

"That rock song is shameless and I like it too."

…

Yu Hong and Chen Yuqi looked at each other and could tell that the students around them from several music academies were not interested in Wang Cheng.

In their view, Wang Cheng, a pop music star singer, came to perform on their classical music and art stage just to provoke and slap in the face.

At this time.

The car stopped and the door opened.

The surrounding discussions quickly stopped.

Yu Hong, Chen Yuqi and many other girls stood on tiptoes and widened their eyes, wanting to see Wang Cheng himself.

but.

The first to get off the bus were Wang Cheng's three assistants, as well as Li Guang and Hu Xiaoshan.

Then, under the protection of three assistants, Wang Cheng stepped out of the car.

The tall and straight figure, the aloof and isolated temperament, the indifference that seemed to ignore the world, coupled with the stunning appearance.

A hint of surprise and amazement flashed through the eyes of these hundreds of people.

A girl murmured to herself: "Is there really such a good-looking person? Even more beautiful than on TV."

Another voice said: "Even if you are good-looking, your temperament is so amazing. Is this the appearance and temperament that a mortal should have?"

Yu Hong and Chen Yuqi also had a flash of surprise in their eyes.

This was not the first time they had seen Wang Cheng up close, but they still felt amazed, and even more amazing than the last time they saw Wang Cheng in the first row of the concert.

During the performance, Wang Cheng still had a lot of stage presence.

At this time, Wang Cheng, who got out of the car, displayed a unique temperament that was unique.

…………

As soon as Wang Cheng got out of the car, he felt hundreds of eyes around him focused on him.

However, he didn't care about it. He got out of the car casually and glanced at the dozen or so people in front of him.

Director Zhao Donghu hurriedly stepped forward and said to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, welcome, I am the program director Zhao Donghu. I hope we can have a happy cooperation. If you have any needs, you can tell me directly..."

Gu Jun: "Hello, I am Gu Jun, assistant director..."

Wang Cheng nodded lightly to the two of them, shook hands, and walked in first without saying a word.

Zhao Donghu and Gu Jun were both stunned. It was the first time they saw such a person. They thought Wang Cheng would be polite, but it turned out that Wang Cheng really didn't want to say a word and left without waiting for their host to lead the way... …

Really, strange!

Zhao Donghu and Gu Jun had no time to introduce the program crew behind them, so they could only lead the way in a hurry.

Wen Yixiao, An Keru, Zhu Ziqi, and Han Xiao were among them. They were not surprised by Wang Cheng's reaction, but they were a little disappointed when they saw that Wang Cheng didn't even look at them.

It seems that they have cooperated with Wang Cheng several times, but they have not left any deep impression on Wang Cheng?

Several other leaders in the station, as well as professors from several prestigious music schools in the program group, saw Wang Cheng ignoring them all. They were slightly dissatisfied, but they did not show it. They just did not continue to follow Wang Cheng when they left. Just leave on your own.

Lin Mi and his father Lin Dongqing were among them.

Lin Dongqing said in a low voice: "This boy has amazing appearance and temperament. It is the first time that I am so amazed by a man. However, he is too cold and arrogant. However, think about his talent and strength at such a young age. , I can understand it. It matches you, barely enough..."

In Lin Dongqing's eyes, although Wang Cheng's talent, appearance and temperament are amazing, he also believes that his daughter Lin Mi is also the best among people, no worse than Wang Cheng.

However, Lin Mi herself said with some shame: "Dad, don't say this everywhere."

Lin Dongqing said nonchalantly: "You have confessed your love to others, what are you afraid of? With your conditions, what else can he choose? That girl from the Wen family is no better than you."

Lin Mi hurriedly pulled her father aside, fearing that her father's words would be heard by Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao, and then she would be really embarrassed to see Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao again.

Wang Cheng followed the lead of Zhao Donghu and others and walked in. When passing by the gate, he glanced at the large group of people gathered there. Facing the gazes of hundreds of pairs of eyes, he did not feel any discomfort at all. He just glanced at everyone indifferently. At first glance, when he saw Yu Hong and Chen Yuqi, he paused for a moment, then swept past them and walked in!

Yu Hong was stunned for a moment, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Chen Yuqi next to her gave Yu Hong a gentle push: "Fairy Hong, Wang Cheng glanced at you again. I'm sure I saw it right this time."
