This star doesn’t work overtime

Watching Wang Cheng leave, no one said anything to stop Wang Cheng. Everyone watched Wang Cheng disappear on the stage.

Then……

Lu Jiaqi, Zhang Haijie and other judges, as well as Tian Wen, Xu Chaohua and other audiences in the audience breathed a sigh of relief and sat down together.

They had all been standing for a few minutes and were getting a little tired. After all, they usually don't stand much, they either sit or lie down.

But Wang Cheng was standing just now, so of course they had to stand together. They didn't sit down one after another until Wang Cheng disappeared from the stage.

Then, Lu Jiaqi, Zhang Haijie and the other judges looked at each other and smiled slightly, then they all felt a little bored and felt like they had been doing nothing in their lives.

They have become famous musicians in half a year, and they have studied hard and practiced for a lifetime, but they have not yet started in the eyes of others...

Comparing people to each other makes me want to die.

However, after all, they are all seniors with rich experience. They were beaten by top talents of their generation when they were young, so they can adjust quickly.

Many young students from the Conservatory of Music in the audience were unable to recover from the shock. After watching Wang Cheng leave, they all complained in a low mood.

"I feel like I want to change my career. Learning music is no longer interesting."

"Yes, after studying for more than ten years, it may not be as good as others studying for a few days."

"Having half the strength of Mr. Wang Cheng in this life is enough to die without regrets."

"Stop dreaming. I'll be satisfied if I can have one-tenth of Mr. Wang Cheng's strength."

"Hey, I'd better treat music as a hobby and forget about my music dream."

"This is a great song for fishing boats to sing late at night."

"By the way, it would be great to invite Wang Cheng to give lectures in our college sometime."

"Lectures...? Stop dreaming. Wang Cheng is too lazy to even appear on the show. Giving lectures will not kill him."

"I used to think Wang Cheng was acting like a big star, but now I think he should be like this. If a person as awesome as him jumps up and down every day, it will lower his image in my heart."

"Yes, I also feel now that an artist like him should be so cold. He should ignore everyone..."

…

Listen to the discussion around you.

Xu Chaohua smiled bitterly and said to Yan Yu: "When I first saw Wang Cheng writing calligraphy, I knew that he would be very amazing. However, I did not expect that he would be so amazing in music and art!"

Yan Yu was also speechless, feeling a little depressed, and looked in the direction of the backstage with watery eyes.

An Keru directly picked up her phone and sent a message to her agent: "Find me a famous and capable guzheng teacher immediately."

The other party immediately replied: "Okay!"

No questions asked, just execute it immediately.

This is An Keru's recent request. She no longer wants to listen to her agent's advice, she just wants to do what she wants to do.

Next to them, Zhu Ziqi and Han Xiao also made up their minds again. They must learn an instrument after returning home, and they must learn it to a professional level. Guzheng is their first choice, and they must also learn piano and violin... …

Wang Chengyi returned to the backstage.

Several program team leaders, Li Guang, Hu Xiaoshan, and Zhao Donghu, quickly came forward to express their greetings.

"Wang Cheng, are you tired? Do you want some water?"

"Wang Cheng, please sit down and take a rest."

"Wang Cheng, being able to cooperate with you is truly the luckiest thing in our lives..."

Here are some flatteries.

Unfortunately, Wang Cheng's thermos cup was in Wen Yixiao's hands.

Wen Yixiao didn't speak, but quietly handed Wang Cheng's water glass to Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng also took it and took a sip, said thank you softly, then nodded to Li Guang and others, ignored them, walked to his seat and sat down.

Wen Yixiao also walked over and sat next to Wang Cheng, as quiet as a lotus flower.

Li Guang and Hu Xiaoshan were not embarrassed at all. After smiling at Wang Cheng, they did not disturb Wang Cheng again.

Yan Qing, Sun Haibo, Zheng Yun and other players also wanted to go up and say a few words to Wang Cheng, but Hu Xiaoshan and Li Guang frantically waved and winked at them, telling them not to disturb Wang Cheng. Cheng, don't make Wang Cheng unhappy!

This left Yan Qing, Sun Haibo, Zheng Yun, Eva and other players speechless and helpless.

It was hard for them to meet a music artist of the music master level who only existed in textbooks, but they couldn't go up and ask for advice. This made them feel uncomfortable.

Especially Yan Qing, she didn't dare to ask Wang Cheng about guzheng playing. She just wanted to ask if she could get the score of the fisherman's evening guzheng song later. But when she saw that Wang Cheng didn't pay any attention to them, the program The leaders of the group refused to let them get close to Wang Cheng, and Yan Qing could only suppress his thoughts in his heart. He just wanted to go back and study Wang Cheng's playing process in detail, and picked up the score from the video.

Zhou Zhe, Han Feng, and Li Xiang were suffering the most. They also wanted to go up and have a chat with Wang Cheng to eliminate the negative impression they had left before, and at the same time, they tried to recruit Wang Cheng, but they saw that Wang Cheng did not want to pay attention to them. At this time, they could only stand quietly aside, looking at Wang Cheng eagerly, and did not dare to force their way over to talk to Wang Cheng.

It's not that they are worried about Li Guang, Hu Xiaoshan and others from the program team, but they are afraid of making Wang Cheng unhappy again.

Zhou Zhe thought for a while, then stepped forward and said to Hu Xiaoshan and Li Guang: "Director Li, Producer Hu, can we discuss something?"

Hu Xiaoshan said nothing. Although he was the producer of the program, Li Guang was obviously the one talking about the issue at this time, so Li Guang said politely: "Director Zhou, if you have anything to say, just tell me..."

Zhou Zhe said directly: "Director Li, let me tell you straight. I hope that the video of this program can be sent to us at Yangyin. We want to go back and study all the performances today, which will be helpful to us. It’s best if you send us the unedited version!”

Han Feng and Li Xiang heard this and both said at the same time: "We also want a share..."

Li Guang glanced at Hu Xiaoshan and saw that Hu Xiaoshan had no objection, and then said: "You can do it if you want, but wait until the program production is completed. Moreover, this is related to the details of Wang Cheng's cooperation. The video of his program needs to be uploaded If you want to go out, you still need his consent."

"If it's simpler, you don't have to go through us to request it. When the show is broadcast, you can download it online!"

If in normal times, if a prestigious music school like Yangyin in China asked for a program video, they would definitely agree without saying a word. This is no big deal.

However, this time it concerns Wang Cheng.

They also saw the value of Wang Cheng again, so they couldn't agree easily.

If the videos leaked from their hands are used by Yangyin for profit, Wang Cheng himself may not bother to pay attention, but if Rubik's Cube Entertainment comes to sue, it will definitely be accurate. With Wang Cheng's popularity and status at this time, You may have to lose a lot of money, and most importantly, it may affect your next cooperation.

so……

Li Guang promised carefully. He would not give it out until Wang Cheng or Rubik's Cube Entertainment agreed. Otherwise, he would not give it out.

Zhou Zhe, Han Feng, and Li Xiang all smiled bitterly.

They were the equivalent of emperors in the program team before, and the entire program team had to consider their opinions because they represented the three major music academies in the country.

And now...

However, Li Guang rejected the three major music academies because of Wang Cheng's feelings.

the most important is.

The three of them did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

Because Wang Cheng was right next to them, and they didn't want Wang Cheng to be unhappy because of them.

Therefore, the three of them could only nod and agree, letting Li Guang and Hu Xiaoshan operate.

The host Wang Wenjing gave an excited speech on the stage: "I never thought that music and art can be so beautiful. Thank you Mr. Wang Cheng for allowing us to experience this beauty. I won't praise you too much. Because any words of praise are not enough to describe my admiration for Mr. Wang Cheng at this time, nor are they enough to describe Mr. Wang Cheng’s achievements in the field of music..."

After saying that, Wang Wenjing began to summon the last group of players: "Next, let's invite the last group of players! Yun Na and Bruce, I hope they can adjust their condition and display their strength perfectly."

There was a round of applause, but the applause was not enthusiastic.

obviously……

At this time, everyone was even less interested in the so-called contestants' competition. A trace of impatience flashed across the faces of the applauding audience, including several judges. At this time, they all just hoped that the last two contestants would win quickly. Click the show to end so they can watch another Wang Cheng performance.

Moreover, this is Wang Cheng's last performance today.

While each of them was looking forward to it, they were also more nervous and apprehensive.

They were afraid that they would never be able to hear Wang Cheng's performance again.

Thinking of this result, many audiences who love music and art feel a little heartbroken, as if they are losing something important.

Tian Wen just clapped softly and whispered: "Hey, after listening to Wang Cheng's performance, I can't listen to anyone else's performance. I'm too lazy to play the guzheng myself..."

One of the few guzheng masters in the country, he was a little disinterested in the career he had worked hard for all his life. His mind was filled with the scene of Wang Cheng's performance just now and the artistic conception of the music. He would never be able to perform like that in his life. realm.

The last group of contestants, Yun Na and Bruce, both didn't want to go on stage to compete and perform.

At this time, they not only felt that this competition was meaningless, but they even doubted whether studying music was the right choice for them!

After listening to Wang Cheng's music and art performance, both of them kept asking themselves at the same time - can they catch up with his half-year self-study in this life?

The answer, of course, is no.

If you work hard you will succeed.

Then there are too many successful people in the world.

but……

Their work ethic prevented them from turning down the gig.

After all, Yun Na walked out of the backstage with her violin and started her performance.

Yun Na was wearing a black evening dress, her chestnut hair was slightly curved and draped behind her. Her slightly childish white face was full of calm. She stood on the stage full of the temperament of a goddess. She bowed slightly to several judges and all the audience, and then Yun Na took the violin and started playing.

On artistic temperament and performance effects.

In fact, violin playing is better than piano playing.

Because you are standing when playing the violin, you can better show your figure and temperament, but when you are sitting there when playing the piano, most of it is blocked by the piano, and you can only face the audience sideways...

Lu Jiaqi, Zhang Haijie and other judges all looked at Yun Na deeply and calmly, their eyes were still a little wandering. It was obvious that they were not paying attention and were not even thinking about Yun Na's competition repertoire.

The same is true for many viewers in the audience.

Yun Na's competition piece is still a classic violin piece, which is quite difficult, but the overall artistic expression and structure are obviously inferior to the violin etude No. 1 played by Wang Cheng just now.

Of course, it's just that the music is weaker.

If we compare the performance level, Yun Na is not qualified to compare with Wang Cheng at all.

Yun Na could clearly see the lackluster response at the scene, but she still persisted and played the piece to the end in her best condition.

When it's over...

The scene was still quiet.

Yun Na took a look and saw that everyone was not immersed in her own music, but most of them were distracted and did not listen to her performance just now. Even several judges seemed to be distracted and did not pay attention for a while. her show.

moment……

Yun Na was a little aggrieved, with tears flashing in her eyes, but she held it back.

It wasn't until Wang Wenjing came out applauding that she saved Yun Na, who was a little embarrassed.

Then, the audience burst into applause.

Lu Jiaqi, Zhang Haijie and other judges were all a little embarrassed, because they were really distracted just now, and they were all thinking about Wang Cheng's performances just now. The more they thought about it, the more shocked and admired they were, so they slowly I didn't listen to Yun Na's performance at all.

Several contestants backstage looked at Yun Na with sympathy. They all had personal experiences just now!

Bruce, the last contestant who was about to appear, was even trembling a little, his face was extremely calm, and he was constantly thinking, can he give up this competition?

After the applause.

Several judges began to score.

However, they didn't listen carefully to Yun Na's performance just now, so if they were asked to comment and score in detail, they couldn't say anything at all. They were not even sure whether there were any mistakes in Yun Na's performance just now...

As a result, the judges had no choice but to deal with the matter and give scores in a hurry.

Lu Jiaqi smiled and said, "It's a very good violin performance. I'll give you ninety points!"

It shouldn't be wrong to give it a score of ninety.

Zhang Haijie is similar: "You have shown your strength, very good, I will give you ninety points!"

The other three judges also said something ambiguous, and they all gave it eighty-nine or ninety points.

With Yun Na's violin genius, she deserved to get 90 points.

Then, Yun Na didn't stay much longer. After thanking her gently, she quickly turned and left, not wanting to stay on the stage for another second.

After walking off the stage, Yun Na couldn't hold it back after all. A line of tears flowed down her cheeks, then she quickly wiped them away and walked quickly back to her seat and sat down.

Eva hurried over to comfort her: "Yun Na, this is nothing, don't be sad. It's not that you are too weak, but that the one who played before you was too strong. Just relax, let's look forward to his last performance together." A show.”

Yun Na forced a smile and glanced at Wang Cheng, who was still reading a book not far away. The grievance in her heart slowly dissipated. That person really didn't care about these players, but they and all the spectators outside were already affected by that. bit conquered.

She could understand it, but she still felt uncomfortable. She traveled thousands of miles to China to participate in the competition just because she wanted to be recognized and trained...

Now, her performance is completely ignored, which is the biggest blow to a person who pursues art.

but……

She saw Bruce walking out of the backstage, facing the same audience as her, with a slightly more balanced mentality.

Bruce is a piano genius from the Vienna Conservatory of Music in Europe, and Yun Na is a violin genius from the Juilliard School in North America. Therefore, the two sides are almost naturally opposed to each other, and both want to eliminate the other.

Bruce had just witnessed Yun Na's experience at the scene, so he had no hope for the reaction at the scene. He only hoped that he could eliminate Yun Na with a better performance. That was enough...

Arriving in front of the piano, Bruce bowed slightly to the judges and the audience, then sat down and started playing. The repertoire was still a classic piano piece, with a fast tempo, not high difficulty, and more popular style!

This is a change in the field of European and American classical music in recent decades. Because the public prefers pop music, in order to survive, they can only cater to the public. Many popular-style music works have appeared in concerts held by many music masters. That is a work that many music masters and great masters did not want to perform a hundred years ago, but now it is performed more often...

Classical art and pop seem to be naturally opposites.

Bruce is indeed a top piano genius. When he was around 20 years old, he had already held a small solo concert in New York. He is also famous as a piano genius in North America!

When he competed and performed on this stage before, he was the focus of the audience and one of the candidates for the championship...

But.

Today, his piano playing elicits no reaction.

Everyone in the audience still had no reaction and just listened calmly. Many people even seemed to be distracted.

Fortunately, the judges did not get distracted this time. They learned the lesson just now and listened to Bruce's performance attentively and carefully.

And this time...

Several judges frowned slightly.

They all couldn't help but compare Bruce's performance with Wang Cheng's performance that kept popping up in their minds. Naturally, it seemed that Bruce's performance was very average.

Bruce secretly glanced at the judges and saw that they were all frowning, so he felt a little nervous. Fortunately, he didn't make any mistakes. However, due to the nervousness, his state declined. Technically, he made no mistakes, but in terms of artistic conception, he made no mistakes. But it dropped a level, and the performance effect also dropped.

The song ends...

Amidst the applause of the audience, Bruce stood up and bowed to everyone.

Then, Professor Mark said unceremoniously: "Bruce, your performance really disappoints me. You have completely failed to grasp the core of musical art. You are just a technical worker. This is your worst performance. I can only I give you eighty points because I have higher expectations for you!"

Bruce turned pale instantly...

Teachers and students from many music schools at the scene held their breath, knowing that perhaps the biggest change in this competition was about to occur. If Bruce was eliminated by Yun Na, then everyone else would have a chance to win.

Because, among the comparison of the remaining players, Bruce is the one who is slightly stronger in all aspects and is the most promising to win the championship.

The other players are pretty much the same...

If Bruce is eliminated, everyone else's chances of winning are almost gone.

Sun Haibo, Yun Na, Eva, Zheng Yun and others looked at the stage with excitement and anticipation, waiting for the final result...

Professor Haixi also said in a serious tone: "There is nothing wrong with your performance, it's just that, Bruce, you didn't show your artistry! This is not what it should be, and I can only give you eighty-five points."

Bruce's face turned even paler. He knew that once these two scores came out, he would have no hope. None of the remaining three people could give him a score that was too high. He would definitely lose to Yun Na...

really.

Lu Jiaqi in the back only gave 88 points, Zhang Haijie gave 86 points, and the last one gave 83 points, which was lower than the previous players in all aspects and only slightly better than Andre who made a mistake. .

Bruce's body shook slightly, unable to accept the result.

Tian Wen in the audience shook her head slightly and said regretfully: "With Bruce's strength and talent, he shouldn't have received this score. It can only be said that several judges have raised their horizons and standards by Wang Cheng's performance, and Bruce just happened to meet him. Yun Na was lucky just now. Several judges did not listen to her performance carefully, so it was difficult to comment in detail. They gave her a similar score, but it was a very high score."

"Now, Bruce is going home."

Chen Yuqi didn't care about this and said softly: "Anyway, the performances of these two contestants are far worse than Wang Cheng."

Tian Wen smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone here is several levels behind Wang Cheng, including me and several judges on the stage. You can't compare with Wang Cheng."

Yu Hong said: "However, the judges were still influenced by Wang Cheng and unconsciously compared the contestants with Wang Cheng."

Tian Wen nodded: "Yes, so Bruce really lost unjustly!"

Wang Cheng did not participate, but once again affected the results and determined the fate of the players.

Many teachers and students from surrounding music schools also felt that Bruce’s loss was unfair...

The several promoted contestants backstage were all smiling, and Yun Na was instantly happy. She looked at Wang Cheng who was still sitting there reading a book again, feeling a little grateful.

but……

The next second, everyone no longer cared about the result of the game, including Yun Na and other players involved.

because.

The blues gig is over.

So, isn't Wang Cheng's last performance about to begin?
