Wang Qian's original intention was to ask a piano student to stand up and ask a question about the piano.
Then, he further expanded on this issue.
Then say a few polite words.
This class can end smoothly.
Perfect script and pacing.
But…
When Wang Qian saw Su Jiangsheng and combined with the strong scent of books on this quiet woman, he knew that this woman might be a literature student, and the questions she might ask might be more off-topic than Meng Xinrui's.
After all, although Meng Xinrui was from the Department of Folk Music and the questions she raised were related to folk music, she was ultimately asking about music, so it was still within the scope.
But if this literature student asks directly about something literary.
The atmosphere in the classroom might become even more awkward.
Wang Qian felt a little nervous.
Xiao Dongmei stood up, a little surprised that Wang Qian would call her, but she still had a peaceful smile on her face, her eyes like water, and she looked at Wang Qian in a soothing voice with a hint of magnetism: "Hello, Professor Wang. I would like to ask you a question."
Wang Qian stretched out his hand: "You say."
Wang Qian did not ask the other party's name or major.
Xiao Dongmei did not introduce herself either.
However, there were many people from outside the school who recognized him.
Because during the period when Shancheng University came to Shuangxing University for exchange and study, there were also several open classes, including Xiao Dongmei's lecture, and many people from outside the school went to join in the fun.
Now, some of these people came to Wang Qian's class to join in the fun.
Therefore, Xiao Dongmei, who is usually very low-key, has very few social media accounts registered, and very few people know her. But now there happens to be someone who attended Xiao Dongmei's lecture at Shuangxing University a few days ago.
Yang Jiansen also knew Xiao Dongmei. He had met Xiao Dongmei when he went to Shancheng for exchange and study a few years ago. Facing such a talented woman with excellent temperament and appearance, he would definitely not forget her. He frowned and whispered, "Old Su is going too far. Let Xiao Dongmei ask questions? Are you here to ruin the party?"
Li Jing smiled faintly and said, "So what? Xiao Dongmei borrowed Guo Zhuangzhuang's Weibo account last time and wrote to Professor Wang on Weibo, but she still lost in the end, right? However, we still have to thank Xiao Dongmei, otherwise we wouldn't have seen Professor Wang's two masterpieces. Professor Wang's Drunken Flower Shadows and A Cut Plum are my two favorite ancient poems. It's a pity that I can't get a copy of Professor Wang's calligraphy, otherwise I would definitely collect it as a family heirloom."
There was some longing in Li Jing's eyes.
She also participated in the calligraphy lottery held by Wang Qian on Weibo yesterday, but of course she didn't win. She also contacted the winner privately and offered a price of 50,000 yuan, but of course she didn't buy it.
Yang Jiansen said regretfully: "I also want to collect one, but unfortunately I am too embarrassed to ask for it."
However, he was still worried that Xiao Dongmei would ask questions that were irrelevant to music, which would make this piano lesson even more unworthy of its name.
Li Jing was silent.
later.
Jiang Yu and Ru Ke both knew Xiao Dongmei. Both of them had family background in the cultural circle of Beijing, so they must know Xiao Dongmei, who also came from a scholarly family in the mountain city.
Moreover, Xiao Dongmei was a talented top student in the Chinese Department of Peking University and was also well-known in the Beijing circle.
So, Xiao Dongmei stood up.
Jiang Yu was slightly surprised and said, "Wang Qian mentioned Xiao Dongmei?"
Ru Ke also widened her eyes: "Last time, Xiao Dongmei used Guo Zhuangzhuang's hand to fight Professor Wang for a few moves, so are they in contact privately?"
Jiang Yu was puzzled: "I don't know either!"
Although she, Murong Yue and Wang Qian lived in the same villa.
However, they did not stay with Wang Qian all the time. Apart from work, they deliberately avoided the affectionate couple Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong to avoid any trouble.
Xiao Dongmei, who was standing there, met Wang Qian's gaze without avoiding it. She held on to the little pride and confidence left in her heart and asked Wang Qian, "Professor Wang, I want to ask you a question. You have extraordinary attainments in the field of ancient culture, and have made achievements in the fields of pop music and piano. At the same time, you have now demonstrated your amazing creative experience in traditional Chinese musical instruments."
"I would like to ask, Professor Wang, have you ever composed music based on the core of ancient Chinese culture and created some songs that are very suitable for our Chinese cultural heritage? I really want to listen to it."
After Xiao Dongmei finished speaking, she looked at Wang Qian expectantly.
Many other people were also a little confused when they heard her question, and then looked at Wang Qian expectantly.
Su Jiangsheng took a look at Wang Jingshan and instantly felt that there was more than one level difference between Wang Jingshan and Xiao Dongmei.
Wang Jingshan wanted to embarrass Wang Qian in the field he was good at, but Xiao Dongmei's question did not ask anything about the Chinese field, but asked about the core of the more core and deeper field of culture and art!
You can say that.
This is a question that embodies the culmination of Wang Qian’s talents.
Only then did everyone remember to look at Wang Qian from a global perspective.
It was discovered that Wang Qian has achieved extraordinary achievements in the fields of ancient poetry, calligraphy, pop music, and piano, and now he has demonstrated his extraordinary attainments in folk music.
This shows that…
Wang Qian already has the foundation and ability to consider things at a deeper level.
This kind of arrangement and creation that can represent the connotation of a nation's culture is exactly what is most lacking in the Chinese music field today.
There is a saying in the world...
Asian music in the island nation!
Island music writes about China.
The majestic music that comes from many island countries is full of rich Chinese cultural elements, as if it was created for Chinese cultural history. Many people instinctively think that this is music that only Chinese people can create. Therefore, many people have heard this kind of music in various film and television dramas. Over the years, they have instinctively believed that this is local music created by the Chinese themselves, and they have always believed it!
It was not until the information explosion in recent years that information about these songs was disclosed and spread.
Only then did everyone realize that those songs that they were so familiar with and that almost represented the historical and cultural heritage of China were actually created by musicians from the island country.
Many people said they couldn’t accept…
But this is the reality.
Although the culture of the island nation can actually be considered a branch of Chinese culture, it is, after all, an island nation.
Therefore, many people cannot accept that musicians from island countries understand the historical and cultural heritage of China better than Chinese musicians and are more capable of writing songs that represent Chinese culture.
In recent decades, in the field of music and art, the island nation has reached world-class levels, and there are many compositions that have the potential to be passed down through the ages.
As for China, in recent years, there have been almost no musical and artistic works worthy of mention. Sadly, there are almost no new works handed down from generation to generation, so China is called a desert of musical art by many people.
The gap is very big.
Xiao Dongmei asked this question because she expected Wang Qian to bring something different to everyone, to create music that can rival the classics created by the island country's music and art masters, and better represent the cultural and historical heritage of China!
Most of the people present were either studying music or were outsiders who were extremely interested in music.
Therefore, after listening to Xiao Dongmei's description of the problem, they all quickly thought of this and were also very much looking forward to Wang Qian, hoping that Wang Qian could satisfy the regrets in many of their hearts.
Wang Qian looked at Xiao Dongmei, then at the thousands of pairs of expectant and curious eyes at the scene. After a moment of deliberation, he replied, "This student's question is very profound and difficult. Moreover, you have a more comprehensive understanding of me."
In his previous life, in another world, Huaxia was facing the same embarrassing situation as this world.
Therefore, he understands the thoughts and expectations of many people at the scene.
but…
He has not yet learned about this aspect of the world and does not understand the music situation in this area, so he really cannot give a definite answer.
So, after thinking for a second, Wang Qian continued, "Actually, I do have some ideas, but they have not been put into practice yet. When I have time in the future, I will calm down and think about it. If I have inspiration, I will definitely create something in this area."
"After all, I also love my country, my nation, and our cultural heritage."
Xiao Dongmei nodded slightly, and also looked at Wang Qian and continued: "Then I am looking forward to this day. If Professor Wang wants to publish your work, please notify me."
Wang Qian smiled slightly: "Of course, I will notify everyone when I release any work. Thank you for your support."
Xiao Dongmei smiled gently at Wang Qian, like the sound of a gurgling stream, then sat down gently and said to Su Jiangsheng beside her: "Director Su, I accept your invitation."
Su Jiangsheng was slightly stunned, then asked in surprise: "Really? Professor Xiao agreed to teach at our Shuangxing Chinese Department?"
Xiao Dongmei nodded: "Well, I want to come and live in the Magic City."
Wang Jingshan asked curiously: "Why?"
Xiao Dongmei had been dragging her feet and not agreeing to Su Jiangsheng. He could see that Xiao Dongmei wanted to refuse, but it was awkward for her to keep meeting Su Jiangsheng after refusing. So he knew that Xiao Dongmei might be waiting for the communication to end, and then she would refuse Su Jiangsheng's invitation and return to Shancheng, and would not meet Su Jiangsheng again in the short term.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Dongmei agreed to Su Jiangsheng in front of him.
Xiao Dongmei didn't even look at Wang Jingshan, her eyes still fixed on Wang Qian, and she said calmly, "Because Professor Wang is here. I think that when I live here in the future, I should be able to attend his lectures first. Director Su, you said that you would invite Professor Wang to give lectures at Shuangxing."
Su Jiangsheng was pleasantly surprised and a little surprised after hearing what Xiao Dongmei said. He didn't expect that Xiao Dongmei agreed to stay in Shuangxing because of Wang Qian's lecture. He nodded and said affirmatively: "Professor Xiao, don't worry. Professor Wang has accepted my invitation, but it's a little later. You should also know that he has been very busy recently, so he has no time to give lectures. For today's class, it was Lao Yang who stubbornly blocked the station to pull Professor Wang here, otherwise there would be no class today."
"I'm not as shameless as Lao Yang, and I don't want to force Professor Wang to give the lecture, so I will start the class when he is free to volunteer to give the lecture."
Xiao Dongmei hummed but said nothing, still looking at Wang Qian on the podium.
Wang Qian glanced at the time, then looked at Yang Jiansen and Qin Xuerong, and said to everyone, "Okay. I think we can end today's class here. I came to the piano department to give a lecture today, but I ended up playing a guzheng piece."
"Fortunately, I think I have fulfilled my duty as a lecturer in the piano department. You can ask one last question, and then we'll end the get out of class."
Yang Jiansen wanted to say to Wang Qian, "Please continue to study. It would be best if you study until after school in the afternoon."
However, he knew that he couldn't force Wang Qian to continue speaking.
When he went to the station to block someone today, he knew that Wang Qian must have some grudge in his heart, and he would need to spend more time in the future to repair the relationship between the two.
The good thing is.
Wang Qian is from Shanghai.
He has the advantage of geographical location, and will have more opportunities to interact with Wang Qian in the future than other music schools in other places.
Others at the scene heard that Wang Qian’s class was about to end.
There was some reluctance and regret on their faces, and they all hoped that Wang Qian could continue speaking.
but…
I heard Wang Qian say that there was only one last chance to ask questions.
Everyone quickly raised their hands, wanting to grab the last chance to ask questions and have a final interaction with Wang Qian.
Wang Qian took a look and saw only raised hands.
Even the senior professors and leaders in the first row who had been doing nothing raised their hands, wanting to talk to Wang Qian.
Wang Qian thought about it and decided to choose one from the teachers and students of the piano department. He pointed at a boy in the largest area at the back and said, "That boy is you."
The boy from the piano department immediately stood up, looking very excited, and shouted loudly: "Professor Wang, I am your loyal fan. I want to ask you, you have deep research attainments in the fields of ancient culture and calligraphy, and have made achievements in piano and folk music. But why do you only sing rock on the stage of The Voice? Are you good at other types of pop songs?"
This boy's question disappointed many people.
The piano teachers and students around him couldn't help but make a few criticisms.
"Lao Zhou, what question are you asking? If you don't know how to ask it, let me know."
"Lao Zhou, you are from the piano department, why don't you ask some in-depth questions about piano? Why are you asking this?"
"Old Zhou, you asked Professor Wang a question about pop music. Are you crazy?"
…
However, Mr. Zhou whispered to the students around him, "I prefer Professor Wang's pop music. Haven't you noticed that there are pop elements in Professor Wang's piano music?"
The teachers and students of the piano department who had been making a fuss fell silent.
It’s not that they agree with what Lao Zhou said, but it’s obviously inappropriate to argue here.
So, everyone gradually quieted down and looked at Wang Qian on the podium.
In fact, many people who like pop music do have similar questions to ask Wang Qian.
Why do you prefer rock music on the Voice stage
Judging from the songs Wang Qian released before participating in The Voice of China, they are not only rock songs, but also popular genres such as folk songs, urban love songs, etc. Moreover, they are all excellent pop music works and are deeply loved by everyone.
Moreover, Wang Qian's achievements in the fields of literature, calligraphy and piano are all related to art and classical types, and have nothing to do with popular culture.
These are the more contradictory points in Wang Qian.
This is also the reason why everyone has more expectations for Wang Qian.
Because there are too many possibilities in Wang Qian.
After hearing this question, Wang Qian felt a little relieved.
fine.
Not difficult.
Every time someone asked a question, Wang Qian felt a little uneasy.
I was afraid that I would be stumped by the questions and that I would fail in front of so many people.
Even if he failed, he wouldn't have to worry about the rest of his life. Although he couldn't be a professor, he could still do many other things.
but…
So shameful!
Of course it would be best if you can avoid embarrassing yourself.
Wang Qian admired the student who asked the question because it was simple enough.
Without thinking too much, Wang Qian answered directly: "This student asked a good question. In fact, in my opinion, there is no distinction between high and low music art. Whether it is classical music or pop music, they are all art. Classical music is for people to listen to, and pop music is also for people to listen to. It cannot be said that what a few people recognize is art, and what the majority of people like is not art."
“Music itself is an art.”
"So, whether it's classical piano or pop rock, in my opinion there is no difference, they are both a form of musical art expression. It's just that my temporary interest is in pop rock, so I chose to carry on this genre on stage, it's that simple, there is no other reason."
"Maybe, after a while, I won't be interested in rock anymore, so I won't play rock anymore and will play other kinds of music. Or maybe I won't be interested in music anymore and I want to be an actor and make movies? Then I will do it!"
"I am a casual person. If I am interested in something, I will do it. This is true for ancient poetry, calligraphy, piano, and guzheng! These are just my hobbies."
Good job.
There was an eerie silence at the scene again.
Even Mr. Zhou, who was standing there asking questions, was stunned.
The others became extremely silent, staring at Wang Qian with wide eyes. It was obvious that they had not yet digested what Wang Qian had said!
However, everyone grasped a few key points.
That is…
Piano is just one of his many hobbies.
Literature and calligraphy, too, are just one of Wang Qian’s many hobbies.
Not professional.
It's just a hobby.
Wang Qian has said this more than once.
However, Wang Qian either said it privately to Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Xu Xiaoxiao and others, or posted it on Weibo.
Most people didn't take it seriously.
Everyone thought that Wang Qian might be joking.
Just like Alibaba’s Jack Ma said that he doesn’t love money, who would take it seriously
If he really didn't love money, he wouldn't have started a business in the first place and would have just lived on his fixed salary.
When he has endless money, of course he can say that he doesn't love money, because whether he loves money or not, he has endless money to spend.
With such invincible talent, of course I can say that I am just playing around...
However, this was the first time that Wang Qian said this in front of a classroom full of students.
It seems that what he said is true.
This made many teachers and students present, as well as many geniuses among them, feel a little frustrated.
Just as Wang Qian said before, it took him several years of practice to reach his current level of piano playing.
You could say he was performing Versailles literature, but he spoke so naturally and truthfully, as if it were the truth.
No one can refute it and can only complain wildly in their hearts.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Lao Zhou said bitterly: "I hope Professor Wang will have a wider range of interests and hobbies, and bring us more surprises and good works."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, classmate. I will try to read more and learn more."
Classmate Lao Zhou sat down.
Several piano students around him who knew him wanted to rush up and beat him up.
However, out of respect for Wang Qian on the podium, no one attacked Zhou immediately.
Wang Qian was relaxed, and said to the thousands of people in the audience: "Okay. Let's stop here for today's class. I have already written the score of Flight of the Bumblebee on the blackboard. Students who want it now can line up and copy it on the blackboard later. Students who are not in a hurry can wait. I will upload this song on Qianqian Jingting later, and will also publish the score of this song on Qianqian Wenji at the same time."
A voice rang out from the audience: "Professor Wang, where is the general's order?"
Many people looked at Wang Qian, especially the teachers and students of the Traditional Chinese Music Department, who were eager to rush up and ask Wang Qian to write the score of the General's Order for them on the spot.
Wang Qian also immediately replied: "General's Order is the same as Flight of the Bumblebee. Time is short, so I won't write the score for General's Order here. I will upload the score to Qianqian Collection later, and I will notify everyone on Weibo when the time comes."
"Well, that's enough for this class. get out of class is dismissed, students."
The scene was silent.
Almost everyone found it unacceptable.
I can’t accept this. Wang Qian’s class is over now.
Many pairs of eyes looked at Wang Qian eagerly, hoping that he could talk for a while longer, talk about a few more piano pieces, and play another piece...
But.
Wang Qian was really tired and didn't want to continue.
Looking at the eager eyes of the audience, Wang Qian sat down on the chair and said helplessly: "Classmates, I am a little tired today, so let's stop here. If there is a chance to teach you here next time, I will try to extend the class time, okay?"
"good!"
Thousands of people responded in unison.
Yang Jiansen and Hao Jialing also shouted along.
Li Jing, Yu Zhongya, Juliet and others did not shout out loud, but their expressions showed that they wanted Wang Qian to talk more, and they were absolutely looking forward to Wang Qian's next visit to Moyin to give a lecture.
applause!
It rang again.
To Professor Wang.
Give this class.
To Flight of the Bumblebee.
Send it to the general.
Snap, snap, snap…
Rows of teachers and students gradually stood up.
Then, everyone in the audience stood up.
Clap your hands hard.
The sound waves rushed towards Wang Qian.
Wang Qian also stood up and bowed slightly to everyone, then sat down again with a smile on his face to rest.
The applause did not last long.
A girl in the front row shouted, "Professor Wang, can you sign an autograph for me?"
As she spoke, she walked over with a notebook.
this…
What can Wang Qian do
She's just a girl with no bad intentions.
Wang Qian could only nod, took the other person's notebook and pen, quickly wrote his name on it, and asked, "What's your name, classmate?"
The girl said shyly, "Hello, Professor Wang, my name is Zhang Yan."
Wang Qian wrote on the notebook: "This is for Zhang Yan, a student of Mo Yin" and then returned the notebook to her.
Zhang Yan bowed in surprise and said, "Thank you, Professor Wang."
Wang Qian smiled back and was about to say hello to Yang Jiansen and the others before taking Qin Xuerong away to go home and rest.
but…
As soon as Zhang Yan left.
A long queue immediately formed behind.
They all come here to ask for autographs!
There were both men and women, mostly girls, and they lined up from the podium all the way to the door. I don’t know how many people were still outside.
Wang Qian looked over, speechless, and looked at Yang Jiansen for help.
If all the teachers and students attending the lecture came to ask for autographs, there would be at least thousands of people. With his speed of hand signing, wouldn't it take him until tomorrow
Yang Jiansen immediately understood Wang Qian's look, and immediately displayed his authority as the head of the department, saying loudly: "Dear students, Professor Wang is very tired from teaching, and needs to go back to rest early. I can't sign autographs for everyone here for a long time. Let's put it this way, there are only 100 places, and those after the 100th place can disperse, go back to class and do your own things!"
Yang Jiansen did not drive them all away. After all, they were all students of his department, and they all supported Wang Qian. If he drove them all away, it would hurt them.
Therefore, he felt that one hundred places was just right, neither more nor less, and it would not take Wang Qian much time.
Wang Qian did not refuse and took the signature from the second girl. He asked her name and quickly wrote his signature and a sentence on it. The other party cheered and ran away immediately.
Qin Xuerong came to Wang Qian, opened the water cup she was carrying and gave Wang Qian a sip of water, then stood there quietly without saying anything to disturb Wang Qian.
Yang Jiansen brought several professors and teachers to maintain order. After dispersing the hundred people at the back, he returned to Wang Qian. He did not say anything to disturb Wang Qian and waited until Wang Qian finished signing.
Su Jiangsheng and Wang Jingshan did not leave either.
However, Xiao Dongmei was not with them. The two looked at Xiao Dongmei who was standing in front of the team, and they looked at each other in surprise.
They didn't expect that Xiao Dongmei would actually queue up for Wang Qian's autograph.
Although Su Jiangsheng told Wang Qian that he was a fan of Wang Qian and liked every poem of Wang Qian, it was mostly flattery and politeness at the time, so he couldn't do something like asking Wang Qian for an autograph in public, as that would lower his status.
Xiao Dongmei didn't care about these.
She wanted an autograph from Wang Qian, that was all.
A notebook with plum blossoms printed on it was handed to Wang Qian.
Wang Qian took the notebook, flipped through it, wrote his name, and asked softly without looking up, "What's your name, classmate?"
"Professor Wang, my name is Xiao Dongmei."
A quiet, elegant, gentle voice like water came.
Xiao Dongmei
Is it her
Wang Qian couldn't help but look up at the other person. Seeing that the other person was the quiet girl who was sitting next to Su Jiangsheng just now and was chosen by him to stand up and ask questions, he couldn't help but laugh: "So it's you."
At that time, Wang Qian thought the other party was a student from the Chinese Department of Shuangxing.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Professor Xiao Dongmei from Shancheng University
Wang Qian still remembers the last time the two communicated remotely on Weibo.
I didn't expect to meet here in this way.
Xiao Dongmei showed a gentle smile on her face, her eyes curved into crescents: "Professor Wang, do you still remember me?"
Wang Qian nodded, looked at Xiao Dongmei and said seriously: "Of course I remember, your two works are very good. And, I have really read your Dongmei Collection. I have always wanted to meet you, but I didn't expect that this would be the way we met."
After hearing what Wang Qian said, Xiao Dongmei felt inexplicably shy.
Wang Qian stood up gently, extended his hand solemnly to Xiao Dongmei, nodded and smiled, and said, "Hello."
Xiao Dongmei also suppressed her emotions, shook Wang Qian's hand formally, and said seriously, "Hello!"
The two smiled at each other, then let go of each other's hands.
Wang Qian sat down and quickly wrote on Xiao Dongmei's notebook: "For Xiao Dongmei..."
As soon as the pen is put down.
Wang Qian's mind suddenly flashed with Xiao Dongmei's smile, and he couldn't help but write a few words on the paper.
Bu Suanzi, chanting the plum blossom!
Qin Xuerong, who was standing next to Wang Qian, widened his eyes when he saw these words.
Xiao Dongmei, who was standing in front of Wang Qian, was slightly shocked when she saw the words written by Wang Qian.
Only two people saw what Wang Qian wrote.
The two looked at each other and could see some surprise in each other's eyes.
Bu Suanzi, chanting the plum blossom!
seem…
Is it an ancient poem
