This star doesn’t work overtime

Chapter 299 297. What instrument do you play? random!

In the age of mobile information, it’s really done. Give me a mobile phone and I can give you the world!

There is almost no information that cannot be found...

Several anchors are live broadcasting in front of the theater, and the popularity is high. Each live broadcast room has a large number of viewers. There are even more than one million people online in one live broadcast room, which exceeds the number of online live broadcasts of top super anchors. The barrages are also extremely active.

And when many music artists from top European and American universities came here in the hotel's shuttle bus, many viewers in the live broadcast room quickly found out the information of these people, and each of them was extremely shocked. The information is posted on the barrage so that everyone can see it clearly.

Naturally, several popular live broadcast anchors quickly saw it, or found out the information about these people, and introduced them excitedly.

"Family, these foreigners may have unusual identities. The one in front is Howard, the dean of the Curtis Institute of Music, and the one next to him is Charles, the deputy dean. The one with the highest grid is Claude, one of the top three violinists in the world. The guy in the plaid suit is Scott, one of the top ten piano masters in the world, and they are some of the most awesome people at Curtis Institute."

"Family, do you know the Curtis Institute of Music? This school is one of the most powerful music schools in North America. It is always ranked among the top three music and art schools in the world. I never expected that they could all come here. Watching Wang Cheng’s solo concert live, the card is absolutely full..."

"Wait a minute...Family, I just found out about other people. The other people around me are not cheap either! Evans, the dean of the Juilliard School, and the number one conductor in the world Hanks... Juilliard School, do you know? One of the most powerful conservatories in New York, its ranking in the world is about the same as that of Curtis, and it is among the top schools..."

"And... it's not over yet. That's Eastman President Muller, one of the most amazing pianists in the world. He was already the most amazing pianist thirty years ago... Eastman College, One of the most powerful conservatories in New York, competing with Juilliard and Curtis in the top spots all year round.”

"Yes, I was just about to say that there is also Manhattan College, and here comes this person. This is the president of Manhattan College, Jeffrey. He is also one of the most amazing pianists in the world! There is a saying First, the piano is called the king of musical instruments, which is absolutely true. Many top music artists in the world are pianists."

…

"Family members, and the person behind is the president of the Berlin Academy of Music and Art..."

"Also, those people are all from the Paris Conservatory of Music, including the principal and vice-principal..."

"And the awesome people from the Royal Academy of Music..."

…

Each of the anchors excitedly and exaggeratedly introduced the principals and great masters from the top music academies in Europe and the United States. All of these top music academies are led by the principals themselves, and they are absolutely full of cards.

Not to mention that many viewers watching the live broadcast in China have never seen such a scene. Even if you look around the world, no one has seen it.

After all, no one person's performance has ever been able to attract so many principals and top graduates from top schools...

Because any top music artist in the world has been famous for many years, and has achieved fame step by step. The growth path is clearly visible, and many people in the circle know the basics, so the personal concerts held are naturally not too big. Big attraction!

so……

Only a super genius like Wang Cheng who suddenly appeared beyond their imagination could attract so many of them and gather them together.

Anchors from all walks of life, as well as serious media, are crazy about taking photos of the principals of the world's top music schools and reposting them on major social platforms. At the same time, some official media quickly posted them on the international Internet. , but it has not attracted the attention of foreign media and people for a while.

After these top foreign music artists entered, representatives from domestic music schools such as Yangyin, Zhejiang Music, Moyin, Sichuan Music, etc. appeared one by one.

However, their appearance did not cause much of a sensation. It just surprised everyone and then became indifferent.

because……

After all, we have just seen the emergence of top international music artists, so it is natural for top domestic music artists to appear.

Moreover, most people naturally think that music artists from famous international schools are better than artists from domestic music schools...

"Sure enough, musicians from English-speaking colleges in China are also here. Wang Cheng's appeal is irrespective of national boundaries and races. It's awesome."

"Is this the first time that so many domestic and foreign music artists have gathered in China? Wang Cheng is awesome."

"By the way, is Wang Cheng's music and art really so attractive?"

"No one who knows a little about music and art will have such doubts. Wang Cheng used three different instruments and performed four brand-new works, and every performance was a classic. This is incredible. Okay?"

"Oh, will Wang Cheng's solo concert be broadcast live today? I think I can watch it."

"Don't think about it, it can't be broadcast live. The anchor asked the platform for supervision last night. Rubik's Cube Entertainment has not authorized any party to broadcast live."

"It would be great if it could be broadcast live..."

"Why should we watch the show live for free when others spent two to three hundred thousand to watch it?"

"Art costs money, brothers..."

…

Howard, Charles, Claude, Scott, Hessy, Heidi, Phipps and others all walked into the theater steadily. Looking at the almost full place, several people looked back at the others. The old friends from the same school, in this foreign country, were much less hostile to each other. They nodded and smiled at each other and then walked to their respective places!

Howard, Charles, Claude, and Scott walked to the first row.

This is the first row of tickets that Phipps and Heidi bought from a second-hand website after spending a whole day. Of course, they can only be used by the two deans and the two super leaders of the college. Haixi, Haixi Ty and Phipps were sitting in the middle area of ​​the fifth row!

Phipps whispered to Heidi: "Professor, remember to reimburse me for the money you paid for the ticket when you get back. The first row ticket I grabbed last night is worth 150,000 US dollars! I asked Heidi to borrow it. It was fully paid with the money..."

Heidi smiled elegantly, but complained in a low voice: "If my father knew that I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy only one concert ticket, he would definitely kick me out of the house. This is really It’s too expensive, and I really regret it now. If I can get a refund, I really want to refund it and go back to North America right away.”

"I don't want to watch a concert by a nineteen-year-old boy who doesn't respect music, even if he has shown his best talent and strength before!"

Heidi is still worried about Wang Cheng's attitude yesterday.

Howard, who was walking in front of Heidi, looked back at Heidi. The principal of Curtis said: "Heidi, don't worry, all your expenses will be reimbursed by the college. If he really doesn't respect music, Then no matter how talented he is, we will not invite him to join the academy!"

Heidi smiled and said: "You made a wise decision, Mr. Howard!"

Claude said seriously: "But the violin music he played is really great."

Howard said grandly: "Then buy his copyright!"

Claude nodded, and then they separated. The four Howards walked to the first row, and the three Haixi walked to the middle area!

After sitting down in the first row, Howard asked in a low voice: "Is everything Heidi said true?"

The Howards and the others arrived at the Magic City at midnight last night. They quickly went to bed and rested as soon as they returned to the hotel. They only met Heidi and the others in the morning. Then Heidi madly complained to the Howards and the others about her meeting with Wang Cheng yesterday.

Howard was born in a family of music and art. He has been a well-known music artist since his grandfather. He also studied under a top music and art master in history. After that, top music artists appeared in every generation. Therefore, his family education is well-known in the European and American music and art circles. They all have profound knowledge and connections. They have made great achievements in serving as the president of Curtis College for more than ten years!

Therefore, Howard is serious and serious about the art of music and does not allow people who have to respect the art of music to enter the academy.

Without respect for the art of music, no matter how high your talent and strength are, you will not be able to fully utilize them, let alone achieve high achievements.

Charles looked at the empty stage and nodded to Howard: "What Heidi said is true. Yesterday, many of us went to the apartment dormitory where Wang Cheng lived. He lived in the dormitory of an entertainment company. The room was very small. , it is just a single room. However, there is not a single musical instrument in his room, nor is there any information or writings about any musical artist."

"He was writing Chinese calligraphy at the time. Judging from the room where he lived, it was impossible to tell that he understood classical music. His attitude was also extremely cold and arrogant, and he disdained to pay attention to anyone or explain to anyone. We So many people went to visit him and invited him in the name of the college, but he didn't reply to anyone and just asked us to leave..."

Howard, Claude, and Scott all frowned slightly and their eyes flickered.

Claude asked: "Is he really only nineteen years old?"

Charles nodded: "Of course, I checked his detailed information. He is really only nineteen years old, and he comes from a simple background. He has no classical music inheritance and has never studied music professionally. He is just an ordinary student who took the Chinese college entrance examination. , his college entrance examination results were pretty good, but he gave up going to college and signed with an entertainment company to become a trainee."

"This year he debuted on a variety show as a trainee, and he became very popular as soon as he debuted. He showed great dancing ability and talent, and created a new dance form. He also showed extremely top singing skills and Talent, as well as extremely powerful pop music creation ability and talent..."

"Then, in just half a year, he went from a newcomer to the most popular star singer in the Chinese entertainment circle! All the pop music works he released were very popular, and the sales continued to break the Chinese pop music charts. Music sales record. I found out that among his works, the highest-selling song has exceeded 260 million in just two months. This is even more terrifying than the most popular talented newcomer over there. !”

Listening to Charles' detailed introduction, Howard, Claude, and Scott all looked confused, as if they were listening to a fairy tale!

A 19-year-old boy with no formal music studies made his debut in the entertainment industry as a trainee. He became the hottest star as soon as he debuted, and his popular works broke China's sales records!

Then……

Now he has created amazing piano and violin music, demonstrating the world's top performance level!

this……

Several people looked at each other and saw the questioning look in each other's eyes.

Charles knew what the three of them were thinking as soon as he saw their movements, and said with a wry smile: "Gentlemen, what I said is true. Of course, I know your doubts. Because, when I found out this information, I also thought It’s false, I checked more information, and asked Haixi and the others to check more information through the TV station in Shanghai."

"The information I found surprised me even more! Because... Wang Cheng is still the most popular literary author in China. Yes, he is a literary author. He created two ancient Chinese works, which shocked the entire Chinese literary world, and also wrote a The best calligraphy..."

"I heard nonsense from the producer of the program before. He said that music is not a necessity for Wang Cheng, but just a hobby in life. I didn't believe it at first, but after finding out this information, I believed it!"

"Mr. Howard, Wang Cheng does not respect classical music, because classical music is really just one of his hobbies, not everything to him."

Howard was a little speechless, but he also couldn't accept it. He looked at Claude and Scott, and they obviously couldn't accept it either.

They have struggled all their lives for the art of classical music...

result……

Not as good as a nineteen-year-old boy’s hobby?

They all carefully recalled Wang Cheng's performance on the musicians they saw in the video. Just watching the video, it was no worse than when they were at their peak. The video was somewhat distorted. If Wang Cheng played live, it would definitely be better than the video. Okay, so Wang Cheng's true strength level should be above them!

And they can all be said to be the top music artists in the world now. They are at the top few levels in their respective fields, and others of the same level as them are also similar.

Assuming this...

In terms of piano and violin playing, Wang Cheng may be the best in the world today if we look purely objectively at his level of strength!

Several people fell silent. It obviously took a lot of courage and time to digest what they were thinking.

However, after Howard was silent for a few seconds, he said softly: "But it is a pity that he disrespects the art of music so much and wastes his talent in the art of music."

Charles nodded and said: "It's a pity. I heard that several music academies in China have offered him very high conditions and wanted to invite him to join. But he rejected them all. He didn't even want to meet these Chinese music schools. He is from a music school. It can be seen that he may not really be interested in developing classical music!"

Howard nodded: "That's a pity. In that case, let's just treat it as a trip. There is no need to see him again!"

Although Wang Cheng's talent and strength exceeded his imagination, he really wanted to invite Wang Cheng to Curtis College.

However, since Wang Cheng disrespected the art of music so much and refused invitations from the Huaxia Conservatory of Music again and again, Howard was too lazy to meet Wang Cheng and invited him personally on behalf of Curtis.

because……

Once he comes forward in person and issues an invitation on behalf of Curtis, the significance is extraordinary. Once he is rejected by Wang Cheng, it will be a big blow to the reputation of him and Curtis College.

so!

Howard decided in his heart that after watching Wang Cheng's concert, no matter what, he would immediately return to North America and never see Wang Cheng again.

Charles agreed: "I think so too! I think they should think so too. For us to be able to watch his concert together is a great honor to him."

Charles glanced at the principals of other colleges not far away and knew that they would be similar to his...

After all, they are old enemies and rivals who have known each other for decades and know the ins and outs of each other. They all know what the other party will do.

In the field of classical music and art, face and reputation are more important than anything else.

He believed that no one else would risk their reputation and that of the college in public!

Howard said regretfully again: "What a pity. I never expected that such an amazing talent could emerge from a music and art desert like China!"

Charles nodded and said: "Yeah, no one would have thought of it! I think we should deepen our cooperation with the Chinese Music School, tap more Chinese musical talents, and also increase our business in the Chinese region! Wang Cheng's performance Yes, ticket revenue reaches 60 to 70 million US dollars..."

Sixty to seventy million US dollars...

Hearing this number, Howard, Claude, and Scott's eyes widened a lot.

Howard took a deep breath to calm down and said, "Then we should indeed deepen our cooperation..."

This is all money!

At this time.

Backstage, Shen Shenghui, Li Guang, Hu Xiaoshan and others were waiting for Wang Cheng.

I looked at the time and saw that there were only ten minutes left before the start.

Hu Xiaoshan, a producer who had little connection but graduated from Moyin, was the most anxious. He paced back and forth and said, "The time is coming soon. Why hasn't Wang Cheng arrived yet?"

As Wang Cheng's agent, Shen Shenghui acted the calmest and replied helplessly: "I just called Wang Cheng's assistant and they have already left!"

Li Guang asked curiously: "What instrument is Wang Cheng going to play today?"

Shen Shenghui smiled bitterly and replied: "I don't know..."

"have no idea?"

Hu Xiaoshan and Li Guang both exclaimed at the same time, staring at Shen Shenghui with wide eyes.

Hu Xiaoshan immediately asked: "Director Shen, what do you mean? What don't you know? The concert is about to begin. Outside are sitting the top music artists from top music schools in the world, as well as the best music artists in China!" You actually said you don’t know what instrument to play?”

Li Guang looked around and saw that there were a lot of musical instruments stacked here, both common and uncommon. He frowned and said, "Director Shen, you can't be careless about this matter. If Wang Cheng's concert is messed up, , but it has been humiliated internationally! Our country's classical music art has always been suppressed and looked down upon by foreign countries. If Wang Cheng is still embarrassed internationally this time, it will be even more difficult for our classical music to develop..."

What Li Guang said was what Hu Xiaoshan was most worried about.

Shen Shenghui looked helpless, but a smile flashed in his eyes - this was the result he wanted to see, but he still said helplessly: "I called Wang Cheng, but he didn't answer. I asked my assistant to ask him if he wanted to What musical instruments should I prepare? What do you think Wang Cheng said?"

Hu Xiaoshan asked anxiously: "What did Wang Cheng say? Piano? Guzheng, violin? It's all fine!"

In Hu Xiaoshan's view, Wang Cheng's piano, violin, and guzheng are all of the highest level in the world. There is no shame in playing any of these instruments.

but……

Shen Shenghui still said helplessly: "Wang Cheng came back and said, whatever you want!"

random?

Forehead……

The two were speechless.

However, the two thought about it a little more carefully.

This seems to be Wang Cheng’s style…

Looks like he doesn't care about anything.

But……

How is this so random?

When the two were silent, Shen Shenghui pointed to the row of various musical instruments and said, "So, I asked someone to bring all the common and uncommon musical instruments. When the time comes, whatever Wang Cheng wants to play, I will That’s it.”

Hu Xiaoshan and Li Guang looked at the densely packed musical instruments and fell silent again.

The piano, violin, and guzheng, the three instruments that Wang Cheng played, are indeed all there.

but……

There are also many other musical instruments.

Flute, Xiao, Pipa, Erhu, Suona... and other traditional domestic musical instruments that they all know are among them!

There are also some instruments they don't recognize...

this……

They had nothing to say.

At this time, Shen Shenghui said to several staff members not far away: "Come over and take all these instruments out and put them on the stage. Place them in order. Don't break them."

Hu Xiaoshan was startled and asked hurriedly: "Director Shen, what are you doing?"

Shen Shenghui explained: "They are all placed on the stage. Wang Cheng can easily take them when he performs. If he wants to play any instrument, he can get it directly on the stage without having to move it backstage. How convenient is it?"

Hu Xiaoshan's eyes widened: "But, but...but...no one has ever done this?"

Personal music concerts, where can I do this?

What do you think of street performing?

Eighteen kinds of weapons are displayed?

Hu Xiaoshan and Li Guang were speechless for a while. They could roughly tell that Shen Shenghui seemed to be deliberately creating difficulties for Wang Cheng.

because……

Normal people can't do such a thing.

When several staff members carefully moved the instruments out one by one, as expected, there were exclamations and lively discussions outside.

obviously……

It was also the first time for many music artists and music art lovers at the scene to see such a personal concert!
