Murong Yue and Jiang Yu sat in the middle, surrounded by people from outside the Moyin school, there were no teachers or students from Moyin!
And sitting next to them happened to be Ru Ke and a few others who had also come from Xihu City.
Jiang Yu and Ru knew each other, and had known each other for many years. They had known each other since childhood, and the two families occasionally visited each other.
"Sister Coco!"
Jiang Yu calls Ru Ke sister.
Ru Ke smiled at Jiang Yu and said, "Jiang Jiang, are you here with Professor Wang?"
Jiang Yu shook his head: "No, Xiaoyue and I came here later. Wang Qian's coming to Moyin for class was a last-minute decision. I told my mother that Wang Qian came to Modu. My mother told Director Yang of Modu. Then, Wang Qian was stopped by Director Yang as soon as he left the station. He had no choice but to come here for a class."
Jiang Yu quickly told Ru Ke the whole story of the class.
Ru Ke, Yang Zixuan, Yan Ru, Xiong Jia, and Zhu Qiqi were all a little surprised when they heard this.
They thought that this was something Wang Qian and Moyin had discussed in advance.
After all, such a large class open to the public will attract a lot of attention from the public, so it will definitely be prepared for a long time in advance. Both parties will discuss some details to ensure that there will be no problems before the class starts.
Otherwise, I would make a fool of myself in front of so many people.
Then both the lecturer and the school offering the course will have their reputations damaged, and if things go wrong they may become a laughing stock in the academic community and society.
And Moyin would start teaching Wang Qian so soon.
This only proves one thing.
That is, Moyin has 100% confidence in Wang Qian's ability.
Therefore, there is no need for any advance preparation. As long as Wang Qian agrees, the class will start for Wang Qian immediately.
This is the level of trust that can only be had with long-established master musicians.
Yang Zixuan whispered, "Professor Wang's class is definitely fine. I've wanted to take Professor Wang's piano class for a long time, and today I finally got my wish."
Yang Zixuan graduated with a Ph.D. from the Piano Department of the Central Conservatory of Music. She has the same major and academic qualifications as Jiang Yu.
Yang Zixuan was a little envious of Jiang Yu. Being able to team up with Wang Qian and spend every day with him, there would definitely be many opportunities for her to ask Wang Qian for advice.
Several people nodded at the same time and stopped talking. Several pairs of eyes were looking at Wang Qian who was walking towards the podium.
…
Su Jiangsheng and two other people sat in the second row, which was the best area here. After all, he represented Shuangxing University, so Yang Jiansen was very considerate and specially greeted him to reserve a prime area seat in the front row.
Sitting on Su Jiangsheng's left was a pretty young woman with a quiet temperament. She was wearing a beige long skirt, her hair was tied into a simple ponytail, and she had a little light makeup on her face. She was very conspicuous in the front row, like a cool snow lotus.
On the right sat a young man wearing a formal suit and tie. His hair was parted 3:7 and slicked down. His face was made up and looked very fair. He looked at Wang Qian and smiled softly, "I have read Professor Wang's poems many times. Today I finally get to meet him in person and have a chance to ask him for advice in person."
Su Jiangsheng said calmly, "Wang Jingshan, keep a low profile. Today is Moyin's piano music class. Professor Wang is teaching classical piano music. It's inappropriate for you to ask questions about literature. Next time Professor Wang has the opportunity to give a lecture at Shuangxing Chinese Department, you can ask any questions you want."
The young man, Wang Jingshan, smiled and said, “I think, with Professor Wang’s famously humble character, he won’t mind.”
Su Jiangsheng frowned, looked at the woman in white dress on the left, then looked at Wang Jingshan on the right, and regretted bringing Wang Jingshan here.
But…
If he had to choose again, he would probably still choose these two people.
Because these two are the two young talents he is trying to attract.
Wang Jingshan is one of the top ten outstanding young people in Shanghai and one of the leading figures among Shanghai's young writers. He graduated from Zhejiang University with a postgraduate degree in Chinese. He was somewhat famous during his college years and has now published three works, a collection of prose poems and two novellas, all of which have received considerable response. He has won two literary awards and his two novellas are about to be made into TV series.
Su Jiangsheng wanted to invite Wang Jingshan to be a temporary lecturer in the Chinese Department of Shanghai Shuangxing University for one semester. If he performed well, he would be given the treatment of a formal lecturer later.
Wang Jingshan has not agreed yet, but he is already tempted. Being a teacher in a prestigious school is also a kind of qualification to show off.
And the woman in white dress on the left.
This is the person Su Jiangsheng strives to be.
Wang Jingshan looked at the woman in the white dress, showing a smile that he thought was elegant, and whispered, "Dongmei, last time you used Lao Guo's Weibo to discuss with Professor Wang remotely, did you feel unsatisfied? Do you want to ask something in person now?"
Woman in white dress.
It was Xiao Dongmei from Shancheng University.
Recently, on behalf of Shancheng University, I brought these students to Shanghai Shuangxing for study and exchange.
Su Jiangsheng set his sights on Xiao Dongmei, a talented young professor. He wanted to keep Xiao Dongmei at Shuangxing and give her a formal professor title with better pay than at Shancheng University. The school promised to give her a 200-square-meter apartment, a car, and so on.
Xiao Dongmei hasn't agreed yet.
However, today, Su Jiangsheng invited her to come to Moyin to listen to Wang Qian's lecture.
She agreed to come to the class.
After hearing Wang Jingshan's words, Xiao Dongmei didn't say anything, and didn't even look at him. Her eyes just followed Wang Qian on the podium.
In her eyes, what she saw in Wang Qian was a casual, reserved and low-key character, as well as an invincible self-confidence and pride hidden in his bones.
Others only saw Wang Qian's low-key humility, casualness, and a little paranoia.
However, Xiao Dongmei saw a kind of self-confidence and pride hidden deep in Wang Qian's heart, which was ingrained in his bones.
It seemed that nothing could stump Wang Qian.
Xiao Dongmei was slightly shocked.
She was curious about what kind of talent and ability could give rise to such self-confidence and pride
It seems that in his heart, everyone is inferior to him.
This was the first time Xiao Dongmei had seen such a person.
Wang Jingshan felt bored when he saw Xiao Dongmei ignoring him. He smiled stiffly to hide his embarrassment. He stopped talking, sat upright and looked towards the podium.
…
After Hao Jialing and Yang Jiansen brought Wang Qian to the podium, they quickly walked down the podium and sat at the edge of the first row so that they could go up to the podium and interact with Wang Qian at any time.
Wang Qian held a microphone and stood in front of a piano in the middle.
Wang Qian recognized this piano. It was the piano used in the last exchange meeting between Moyin and Curtis in Berkeley. It was a world-class brand, purely handmade, and priced at over one million US dollars. One had to make an appointment several years in advance to buy it.
Every time a maintenance and tuning is required, the manufacturer needs to send a special tuner, and the cost of each maintenance service can be as high as tens of thousands of dollars.
In every field, when it is pushed to the extreme, the degree of money burned will be beyond ordinary people's imagination.
The field of art is an extremely money-burning field. The prices of a piano or a violin are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Wang Qian smiled as he looked at the endless crowd of faces at the scene. He bowed slightly and said to everyone, "Thank you all for coming to my class."
There was even more enthusiastic applause.
Wang Qian still stood there, watching everyone applaud.
In the eyes of many people.
Wang Qian standing there looked like a work of art, with a handsome face, a tall and well-proportioned figure, and an artistic aura that naturally emanated from him, which fascinated people who liked art and literature.
Therefore, the applause became more and more enthusiastic.
Xiao Dongmei, who was as quiet as water, clapped her hands vigorously, her eyes full of admiration.
The applause lasted for five or six minutes before gradually stopping.
Nothing was said and nothing was played.
Just said one sentence.
The inexplicably warm applause continued for five or six minutes!
Qin Xuerong, Yang Jiansen, Hao Jialing, Li Jing, Zhang Hua, Su Jiangsheng, Xiao Dongmei, Wang Jingshan and others sitting in the front row were all applauding.
Jiang Yu, Ru Ke, Murong Yue, and Yang Zixuan at the back were also clapping enthusiastically, and seemed not to want to stop!
Li Qingyao felt a little strange and looked around curiously, and saw that many people were clapping crazily.
She didn't know, why was she applauding
She is a big star and enjoys a lot of applause.
But, it can be like this now.
Just standing there can make the applause last so long.
It was her first time seeing it!
She had never seen anyone in or outside the circle who had such incredible appeal and the charm that could drive the audience crazy.
charm
Li Qingyao looked carefully at Wang Qian who was standing quietly on the podium, and found that there was only pain in her heart.
Then I looked at Yu Jingruo next to me...
She found that Yu Jingruo was clapping and smiling at the same time, and that smile looked very happy.
…
The applause gradually died down.
Wang Qian held the microphone and smiled at Qin Xuerong, who was clapping the most enthusiastically in the front row. Qin Xuerong smiled back, and then he slowly said, "I didn't make any preparations for this class. Xuerong and I went back to the Demon Realm today to deal with some company matters. We left in a low profile and didn't inform anyone. Only Jiang Yu and Murong Yue who were with us knew about it."
"As a result, we were stopped by Director Yang as soon as we walked out of the station. I knew at that moment that there was a traitor."
There was laughter at the scene.
Jiang Yu blushed even more.
She knew that she was the traitor that Wang Qian mentioned!
Murong Yue patted Jiang Yu lightly and said with a smile: "Jiang Jiang, I have long seen that you are the traitor."
Ru Ke, Yang Zixuan and others also laughed.
The atmosphere on the scene became relaxed.
Only then did many people know the origin of this class.
It turned out that there was an insider who tipped off Director Yang of Mo Yin.
Wang Qian continued, "Director Yang is very enthusiastic. I couldn't refuse his kindness, so I could only agree to come to Moyin. Therefore, this class started very hastily, and I didn't have any preparation. So I just talked about whatever came to my mind, or whatever the students asked. Of course, I would answer the questions, and if I didn't know the answer, I would just refuse to answer..."
Snap, snap…
The applause at the scene rang out again.
Then, hands were raised one by one in the crowd.
There was anticipation and smile on everyone's face.
Apparently…
After listening to what Wang Qian said.
Many people wanted to ask questions and interact with Wang Qian immediately.
but.
Wang Qian did not call on the students who asked questions to stand up and ask questions. Instead, he said, "Everyone, please calm down. I haven't said anything yet, and I haven't played a single piece yet. Don't get excited. As usual, I will shamelessly continue to talk about a few of my own pieces, and then play them for you, doing my job conscientiously and responsibly."
"Then, everyone can ask questions again, okay?"
There were many responses from people at the scene.
"good!"
Many students of Moyin actively interacted with Wang Qian.
Li Jing, who was sitting next to Yang Jiansen, whispered, "With such a rushed class, isn't Director Yang afraid that something might go wrong with Professor Wang?"
Yang Jiansen said softly, "Don't be afraid! I believe that Professor Wang's ability and talent are enough to handle any situation. Moreover, even if Professor Wang makes a mistake in this class, it will be a good story!"
Li Jing asked, "What's the good story?"
Yang Jiansen smiled and said, "Even if Professor Wang does nothing in the future and only these four piano pieces are passed down, he will still be a world-class piano master in China in a dozen years. A mistake in a class will not affect his status and future achievements at all. People in the future will only regard this flaw as an interesting incident in his artistic life. Our Magic Sound may be known by more people."
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully.
seem…
That's the truth!
If a person is too perfect and continues to do perfect things, then no one will be surprised and it will not attract much attention. Instead, if a small flaw suddenly appears, many people will want to take a look.
She looked at Wang Qian who was sitting in front of the piano on the podium, and felt that she was indeed a little young and did not think as much and as far as leaders like Yang Jiansen.
The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone looked at Wang Qian closely.
Looking forward to Wang Qian’s next performance.
There were several cameras directly below the podium and in various corners around it recording what was happening on the podium.
Just see.
Wang Qian put down the microphone, slowly sat down in front of the piano, but did not play the piano immediately.
Instead, he sat in his seat for a while, adjusted his breathing, relaxed himself completely, and calmed down his emotions.
Then, his hands slowly began to dance on the piano keys.
The whole person seemed extremely focused.
This piano is really great. It makes Wang Qian feel free and integrated with the piano.
There is no need to think about those notes in your mind.
Just need to express whatever emotion you want.
His hands and the piano worked together to perfectly express the emotions he wanted to express, turning them into notes.
This is a state of selfless performance that is difficult for even master pianists to achieve.
Ding ding dong…
Each note turned into piano sound and spread throughout the venue, entering the ears of everyone present.
No need to think or feel.
A faint feeling of longing appeared in the minds of many people, and the image of a beautiful girl emerged involuntarily, as if it entered the mind along with the musical notes!
Everyone immediately knew what song it was.
To Xue Rong.
A world-class piano piece recognized by many master pianists.
A piano piece that is simple to learn, yet extremely beautiful to listen to, and expresses emotions very completely and clearly.
A piano piece that many critics say best represents the simplicity of the great way in the piano world.
A piano piece that is called perfect!
And so on. There are many names for this song, but they are only spread in a small range.
After all, it is not a popular pop song and has not caused widespread heated discussion.
Many people who heard this song felt envious of the name Xuerong.
This girl is so happy and lucky.
It was actually written into a piano piece by Wang Qian and spread to the whole world.
Yu Jingruo and Li Qingyao looked at Wang Qian with envy in their eyes.
Li Qingyao couldn't help but think in her heart: "If I hadn't divorced Wang Qian, would this song be called To Qingyao?"
This was not the first time Li Qingyao had thought about this problem. Every time she thought about it, she felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
Unfortunately, what has happened cannot be undone.
However, Li Qingyao still shed two tears from the corners of her eyes due to heartache.
Yu Jingruo did not pay attention to Li Qingyao's emotions, but just listened quietly with a peaceful smile on his face, his eyes only looking at the figure sitting in front of the piano.
This is, after all, a piano piece.
Just a few minutes.
Soon, it was over.
When Wang Qian took his hands off the piano keys, his eyes were still gently closed, and he was completely immersed in the song.
Thousands of people in the audience were still immersed in this song.
Snap, snap…
I don’t know which corner the applause came from first.
Then, everyone woke up.
Warm applause exploded instantly.
Many piano students even stood up and applauded to express their excitement.
They felt that this was the most beautiful music they had ever heard.
They had practiced this piece for several months, but compared with Wang Qian's performance, they felt that their own playing was rubbish and unbearable to the ears.
Li Jing also clapped her hands vigorously, and Yang Jiansen whispered, "It was only when I heard Professor Wang's performance live for the first time that I realized how amazing he is. Even my teacher is far inferior to him. It's so shocking. Just for this song dedicated to Xue Rong, his performance has reached perfection, and no one can find any flaws!"
Li Jing gave a very high evaluation.
There was also a hint of shock in Yang Jiansen's eyes, and he smiled and said simply: "You are right!"
In fact, he could feel that Wang Qian had improved since the last time he performed at the Magic Music Exchange Conference.
When one reaches this master level, it is extremely difficult to make even a little progress, but once one has made a little progress, what is demonstrated will be on two different levels!
More shocking and more fascinating.
It doesn't seem to be playing the piano.
It's telling a story.
The most important thing is that the story is told clearly and is extremely touching.
This is extremely rare.
I guess the number of pianists in the world who can do this can probably be counted on one hand.
Su Jiangsheng, who was sitting in the second row, said with a little bitterness: "I didn't expect that I would also be conquered by Professor Wang's piano playing. This is art..."
His voice was bitter because he couldn't bear to drag Wang Qian to teach at Shuangxing Chinese Department, but he hoped that Wang Qian could continue to explore more in-depth things in the field of piano, otherwise it would be a waste of the musical art of piano.
However, after a few seconds, he woke up from this state and was even more shocked and surprised.
Wang Jingshan also said softly: "This is the most touching and shocking piano performance I have ever heard."
Of course, he didn't say that he had only attended a few piano concerts, and that he had only attended them for fun in China and had never listened to them carefully.
Xiao Dongmei spoke for the first time and said softly, "Listening to Professor Wang's music is really a pleasure. Art is universal. I can hear something different in his music. It's great."
Xiao Dongmei didn't even look at Su Jiangsheng and Wang Jingshan, as if she was talking to herself.
The applause continued for another five or six minutes before it stopped.
Wang Qian did not get up. He sat in his seat, rested for a few minutes, and then closed his eyes to prepare for the next song.
When the applause stopped.
Wang Qian's hands fell on the piano keys again.
A rapid opening sounded.
Immediately, everyone in the audience became nervous.
Everyone knows.
The Demonic March has begun.
A series of pictures have emerged in the minds of many people. It is the bitter history of the development of Shanghai over the past century, with scenes of suffering and glory appearing one after another.
They are all described in this song.
This piece of music has also become a must-learn piece for everyone in the Magic Sound Piano Department.
At the same time, teachers and students from other departments of Magic Music are also studying this piece of music.
Because this song is called the Magic City March, and they are the highest local music and art school in Magic City.
They naturally had to study this representative piece of music thoroughly and explain it clearly to the students.
so!
The Mo Yin teachers and students at the scene all felt it extremely strongly.
Wang Qian immersed himself in it again, showing many emotions, which were transmitted to everyone present.
When the song ends...
The scene remained silent.
Many people are still moved by Wang Qian's performance and are unable to come out of it.
Ten seconds passed.
Another round of applause rang out.
Everyone was awakened, and then warm applause rang out again.
Today's class seemed to be turning into Wang Qian's personal piano concert.
Everyone present was conquered and enjoyed Wang Qian's performance extremely. Many of them forgot that they came to the class with a purpose.
Such as Li Jing.
Such as Wang Jingshan and others.
They all forgot what they wanted to ask!
At this moment, they just enjoy this music that touches their souls.
This time, no one spoke.
Everyone just stared at Wang Qian, pricked up their ears, and didn't think about anything else.
Wang Qian was also completely immersed in the emotion of the song.
His eyes were hardly open.
The applause stopped.
When the emotions are brewing to your satisfaction!
Wang Qian's hands jumped nimbly again, as if dancing on the piano keys.
A girl's prayer!
Dream wedding!
Played one after another.
Many people's hands turned red from clapping.
but.
When Wang Qian finished playing the last song in his dream wedding and stood up for the first time.
Everyone continued to applaud crazily.
Everybody stood up.
He stood up and slapped his hands frantically.
The applause seemed to go through the roof.
Wang Qian left the piano for the first time, stood up and walked to the center of the podium, bowed slightly to everyone, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and without picking up the microphone, he said loudly in his own voice: "Thank you for your appreciation..."
The applause continued enthusiastically.
There is no stopping.
Even Li Jing stood up and clapped crazily, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and she murmured to Yang Jiansen, "This is one of the highest-level performances I have ever heard. I didn't expect to hear such an enjoyable piano performance in China. He shouldn't be here, he should perform in the Golden Hall, which is the highest performance stage in the world."
Yang Jiansen said softly: "He is still young, and he will definitely have the opportunity to conquer the Golden Hall in the future!"
Li Jing gradually woke up and came back to her senses from Wang Qian's performance. Although she was still shocked, she also had more questions.
She is also extremely proficient in Wang Qian's four pieces.
Therefore, she could feel more deeply the perfection of Wang Qian's performance.
later.
Ru Kedu said softly, "I feel it is a loss to the world piano community that Professor Wang doesn't concentrate on playing the piano. I thought his rock music was shocking enough, but I didn't expect that his piano playing was even more shocking. I almost cried just now."
Ruko touched her eyes.
Yang Zixuan raised her hands and clapped: "Professor Wang is my idol. I have never chased stars, nor have I really worshipped anyone, but Professor Wang is the only person I admire in the field of piano. I really want to persuade him not to go to The Voice, not to sing, not to play rock music, and concentrate on practicing the piano."
Jiang Yu said calmly: "Professor Dawson once commented on Wang Qian to my mother. He said that Wang Qian might be able to raise the Chinese piano field to world-class level on his own in the future."
When the people around heard Jiang Yu's words, they all looked over in surprise, obviously extremely shocked.
Can you single-handedly raise a country's piano level to world-class level
Is this something a human can do
Even several great pianists in European and American history may not be able to do this. It is the efforts of successive generations that have raised the level of piano art in a country.
Professor Dawson actually gave such a high evaluation of Wang Qian
Murong Yue stared at Jiang Yu with eyes wide open.
Because this was the first time Jiang Yu said such words.
Jiang Yu whispered, "My mother told me not to tell anyone. She said that if this were to get out, it would bring controversy and trouble to Wang Qian, so I never told anyone."
Murong Yue said "oh".
Ru Ke also whispered to Yang Zixuan and the others, "Don't spread this!"
Yang Zixuan, Yan Ru and others nodded quickly to assure him.
They didn't want to cause any trouble to Wang Qian because of themselves.
applause.
Gradually stop.
Wang Qian stood quietly on the stage, looking calmly at all the people applauding, and smiled at Qin Xuerong.
Qin Xuerong's face flushed with happiness, her body trembling slightly, and she wished she could rush over and hug Wang Qian right now.
Wang Qian turned around, picked up the microphone, and said softly to the quiet audience: "Thank you, everyone, the applause is so enthusiastic. In the field of piano, I only have these four pieces, and I have just finished playing them. So, now let me explain..."
The words haven't finished yet.
Hands were raised again at the scene!
Almost everyone raised their hands.
Therefore, you can see patches of snow-white palms.
Li Jing and several others in the front row, Wang Jingshan and many others in the second row.
Yang Zixuan, Murong Yue and others behind...
And its many magic sound teachers and students.
Thousands of hands went up.
Every energetic face is filled with smiles and expectations.
Professor Wang, request for interaction.
