The cover of this interview video is the image of Adam himself, which can attract more people to click and watch.

Now, Adam is the traffic leader in North America.

Moreover, judging from the way Adam was dressed in the video, he had obviously just finished a performance.

He was wearing a very cool outfit with a lot of weird things on him, including a tight leather jacket and leather pants, and his hair was specially done, just like he was going to a concert.

However, coupled with Adam's sunny and handsome face, it is indeed very attractive to make women scream.

pity…

Wang Qian heard Qin Xuerong's voice: "This Adam looks so ugly dressed like this."

Wang Qian turned his head and saw Qin Xuerong's look of disgust.

Without thinking too much, Wang Qian clicked to play the video.

The reporter asked Adam: "Adam, have you seen the Chinese contestant promoted on the International Voice platform this time?"

Adam shook his head: "I didn't notice it. I was busy. Chinese players are not worth my attention."

Qin Xuerong whispered in Wang Qian's ear: "This Adam is so arrogant."

Wang Qian nodded gently: "Isn't it always like this? Don't be angry."

Qin Xuerong leaned even harder on Wang Qian's arm.

In the video, the reporter continued to ask: "Adam, this episode of The Voice ranked the Chinese contestant Qian fourth in the world."

Adam showed a surprised look on his face: "Oh? Fourth? I don't think he has the ability to really rank fourth."

The reporter smiled, the trap he had dug had worked, and continued to ask: "Then did you watch the YouTube video about your performance and click on it?"

A hint of pride appeared on Adam's face, and he nodded: "I didn't notice it. I checked the news on Twitter, and everyone said that my clicks were pretty good."

The reporter's smile widened: "Then do you know that China's player Qian is ranked first?"

Adam's face showed surprise: "Really? I didn't notice it, why?"

Reporter: "In fact, he is not only No. 1, but he is far ahead of you and Sophie. This weekend, he may become the No. 1 contestant in this episode of The Voice! You will lose your No. 1 spot."

Adam opened his eyes wide and remained silent, with obvious disbelief in his eyes, as if the reporter was joking with him.

However, the reporter's firm tone and expression clearly did not seem like a joke.

Although he was young, he came from an extraordinary family. He was not at all panicked when faced with such an embarrassing situation, and knew that it was enough for him to remain silent.

However, the reporter would not let him go: "This time, Hua Xia's contestant Qian sang an English rock song, and many North American audiences liked it very much. Adam, have you heard it?"

Adam shook his head and answered truthfully, "I haven't heard of it. I'm busy."

Reporter: "Do you think Qian has the strength to threaten you and other seeded players in other regions?"

Adam still looked confident and proud, and said with a smile: "I heard that the good voices in China are competing for originality. I think they have got the wrong direction. This is about good voices, not good originality. I don't know about Qian's ability. But he has never been ranked in the top ten before, which is enough to show that his ability is not good. Moreover, originality is easily misunderstood by the audience, and there are fewer supporters."

"I don't think he has the right to threaten me. If he can come to North America to participate in the world competition, I will let the Chinese know what real singing is and what real strength is! Instead of relying on fancy things to attract attention."

In order to redeem himself from the previous embarrassment, Adam looked directly at the camera, pointed at it and said, "I, Adam, am waiting for you, challengers, in North America."

Adam's tone and expression made it clear that he was the person on the throne, and the other players who went to North America to participate in the world competition were challengers.

Extremely confident and arrogant.

The reporter asked, “Adam, are you saying that you have booked the world championship?”

Adam asked confidently, "Why not? Is there anyone who can threaten me? Maybe someone is threatening me, but it's definitely not in Asia."

The reporter thought about it. Although he wanted to stir up trouble and create news, he did not think that the Chinese players were qualified to threaten Adam. Even the stunning female player from the island country, Miyuki Nakamori, seemed very ordinary in front of Adam.

Adam has been crowned the first World Voice Champion by many North American media outlets, and it seems that he has beaten everyone in the global finals.

At the same time, Adam has also been called by many media as the most amazingly talented young man in the field of singing in the past decade. He may become a groundbreaking singer in the future. He is a newcomer who truly combines both strength and idol skills. His future is very promising.

Therefore, Adam does have the capital to be confident and arrogant.

As for the Chinese contestant, the reporter also felt that he had no right to threaten Adam. His performance this time might just be a momentary luck, and he just happened to create a recognized English song.

In terms of hard power in the field of singing, there is still a big gap.

The reporter also said: "It's definitely not in Asia. I'm looking forward to your performance in the world competition. So, what do you think of Hua Xiaqian's potential to win the world's first place this week?"

Adam shrugged. "You said it too, it's just a possibility. He hasn't won the world's No. 1 ranking this week. And even if he accidentally won the world's No. 1 ranking, it doesn't mean anything. Who doesn't have good luck? When he breaks out of China and comes to North America, he will find out how insignificant he is."

The reporter smiled: "I think you are right!"

The two sang in unison.

The interview has ended.

This video is also on YouTube, and the number of views, clicks and comments is very high, with tens of millions of clicks and over 100,000 comments.

The vast majority of the comments below also support Adam.

"What Adam said is very right. There may be contestants who can threaten Adam, but they are definitely not in Asia. I have watched several Chinese competitions, and their singing ability is too weak. They have no explosiveness, no sense of power, and no long breath showmanship. Several of their seeded contestants are actually competing in originality. I simply cannot understand it."

"Adam has his own post-production sound effects. How can the Chinese and the island country players compare? India? Forget it. So, the Asian players are just here to travel in North America, and we will treat them well. I am looking forward to the French player Sophie..."

"The island country's Miyuki Nakamori is very beautiful and sings with emotion, but she is a level below Green, let alone Adam."

"Shouldn't we feel sorry for Green? She is so strong, but just because she is in the same division as Adam, she may not be eligible to participate in the World Championship."

"Have you ever heard the Phoenix sung by Qian from China? This song is so good, okay? You are so ignorant to make such a fuss without even hearing it."

"You really should listen to Qian's The Phoenix. I downloaded the Chinese app Qianqian Jingting and topped up one dollar just to download this song. It's really nice."

"Hasn't the North American region already decided on the champion? I believe that the champion of the North American region will be the world champion!"

"The performance video of this contestant Qian has so many hits, much more than Adam. Did the official manipulate the data? Is it just to promote an opponent to oppose Adam and create hype?"

"Does The Voice of China only sing original songs? Is it because they have no good songs to choose from?"

&… … &

Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong read some messages together and then turned off the video.

Anti-intellectualism has been prevalent in North America in recent years, and arrogance has become their instinct.

Therefore, Wang Qian was not surprised by these remarks, nor was he angry.

only…

Qin Xuerong was a little angry: "These people have never heard your songs, but they are talking about you here. It's really unreasonable, a bunch of keyboard warriors. What do you think of this Adam's ability?"

Wang Qian looked at Qin Xuerong, smiled helplessly, and then clicked on Adam's performance video.

To be honest, he just took a quick look at it and didn't watch Adam's performance video carefully, so he wouldn't make any comments easily.

Otherwise, he would be as arrogant as Adam.

However, he had seen Adam's performance before, and he was indeed very strong.

In this episode, Adam performed a classic old song again, but the arrangement was slightly adapted to make it more modern and with the addition of many electronic music elements.

As soon as Adam opened his mouth, it was as if he had his own post-production mixing effect, which was very impactful, and the explosive power of his breath definitely hit the eardrums.

His skills are also smooth and natural, and he is indeed unique in terms of strength.

In terms of singing explosiveness, European and American singers almost suppress Asian singers.

There is no doubt about this.

In the field of pop music, most Asian singers, especially Chinese singers, take the lyrical route, singing in a gentle and lingering manner, or telling stories in a leisurely manner. Even fast-paced songs do not have strong explosive power.

Most of the powerful European and American singers like to make a stunning debut as soon as they open their mouths, no matter what song they sing.

The ones Wang Qian remembers are all like this, such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, etc.

Almost all of them are representatives of this type.

Once you listen to it, you can't stop.

Although the new generation of talented singers in the past decade or so have incorporated a lot of electronic elements, their voices and lung capacity are still very strong.

This Adam also has similar strength and talent.

She was born to sing.

Some people may sing the same song just so-so, while others may sing it very well.

This is talent!

Adam had this gift.

Although the song he sang is a classic, it is not a very popular old song. It did not even make it into the top ten of the Billboard charts when it was at its peak. It can be considered a relatively ordinary, but classic old song with some representative significance.

However, his singing was extremely beautiful, even better than the original, giving the song a second life. It is now popular in North America and may be even more popular than when it was released.

After listening to this, Wang Qian once again admired Adam's strength.

Perhaps he needs to exert all his strength to be qualified to compete with him.

After reading it, Qin Xuerong looked at Wang Qian with some concern.

She could also hear that this Adam was indeed very talented, and in terms of pure singing ability, he was even stronger than what Wang Qian had shown on the previous Voice of China stage.

However, Qin Xuerong said supportively: "That's all. I don't think he sings that well."

Wang Qian rubbed Qin Xuerong's hair and smiled again. He knew that with Qin Xuerong's musical background, he would definitely be able to hear the difference.

However, in order to support him, Qin Xuerong gave up her reason.

Such a woman loves him to the core.

"It's okay. I'll take care of him when I go to the international competition."

Wang Qian also agreed with Qin Xuerong.

Qin Xuerong: "Well, in North American terms, kick his ass."

Both of them laughed.

At this time, Jiang Yu and Murong Yue came out.

Jiang Yu hurried out and said to Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong, "My mother is downstairs. I'll go meet her. You guys get ready."

The two landlords, Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong, hurriedly got up and tidied up the house a little.

After all, this house hasn't been lived in for a while, so it looks a bit dirty.

Murong Yue also helped, and while helping, she asked, "Wang Qian, what exactly is the work you wrote for Xiao Dongmei and Yu Jingruo?"

Murong Yue was searching for this kind of information on the Internet just now, but she didn't find any answer to the same question. It can be seen that the two people who got the works didn't think of publishing them out for sharing.

As Wang Qian wiped the table, he said, "You'll know in a moment."

Murong Yue's eyes lit up: "You'll write it later?"

Wang Qian: "Well, write it down later, so you don't keep thinking about it and can't sleep at night."

Murong Yue's curiosity is absolutely strong.

Wang Qian was very clear about this. If he didn't tell her, this girl would definitely keep thinking about it after she left here, and might really not be able to sleep at night.

Just right, after a short rest, I feel good again.

Wang Qian planned to write it out and hang it in his room.

Although, it will not be published.

However, as a work that he brought to this world, Wang Qian also wanted to write it down and keep a copy.

It's impossible that he, the original author, didn't leave any trace.

After a while.

Jiang Yu came up with three people.

He Chaohui, an old man, and a middle-aged man.

He Chaohui walked behind and supported the old man with a cane with Jiang Yu. The middle-aged man behind them also walked one step behind the old man.

Obviously, this old man has a very high status.

As soon as you enter the door.

Wang Qian, Qin Xuerong and Murong Yu all stood at the door to greet them, showing their hospitality as hosts.

The old man who walked in first was wearing a Zhongshan suit, his snow-white hair was combed meticulously, and his clean face was full of wrinkles, but it can be seen that he rested well and was full of energy, and the ten fingers on his slender hands were a little old.

As soon as the old man entered the room, he looked at Wang Qian with a look of scrutiny and appreciation. Then he slowly extended his old and slender right hand and said to Wang Qian, "Hello, Professor Wang. I hope I didn't disturb you by coming to visit you."

Wang Qian reached out his hand and shook the old man's hand, saying respectfully, "Senior, your words are too polite. Please come in and sit down."

Although the other party's identity is not known yet, the person who can be so respected by He Chaohui and Jiang Yu must be a senior.

Moreover, Jiang Yu just gave him a secret wink.

Wang Qian also said that the reception was successful.

The old man nodded slightly and walked into the house.

He Chaohui introduced Wang Qian, "Professor Wang, I apologize for my abruptness this time. This is my teacher, Professor Li Xiyan, a retired piano professor of the Central Conservatory of Music and a retired pianist of the National Orchestra. This is my leader, Tao Zhishan, the vice president of the Central Conservatory of Music."

Wang Qian immediately shook hands with Li Xiyan again: "Hello, Professor Li."

Then he shook hands with Tao Zhishan and said, "Hello, Principal Tao! Please take a seat..."

He extended his hand and invited the three to sit down.

Qin Xuerong quickly poured tea for the few people.

Tao Zhishan and He Chaohui sat down only after Li Xiyan sat down.

Obviously, Li Xiyan is not just a retired professor.

Just sat down.

Li Xiyan looked directly at Wang Qian and said, "Professor Wang, I have watched your class at Magic Sound. It was very exciting. It's a pity that I missed it. I didn't get to listen to your class in person, and I didn't get to hear you play Flight of the Bumblebee and General's Order in person. It's a pity."

Li Xiyan's face was full of regret, and he looked at Wang Qian with even more admiration: "I never thought that when I am old, I would still be able to witness a genius like you appear in China. I heard that Chao Hui was coming to see you, so I suddenly decided to ask her to bring me along."

He Chaohui said softly, "Professor Wang, I am anxious to come and see you this time. My purpose is very simple. I just want to personally invite you to our Central Conservatory of Music for a few lessons. Everyone likes your piano music very much and wants to hear you talk about it. It's up to you to arrange it. Any time is fine."

We have already talked about Zhejiang Conservatory of Music and Magic Conservatory of Music.

It's Yangyin's turn now.

However, He Chaohui did not say this.

Because that would make Yangyin seem too humble.

After all, it is one of the top 50 classical music schools in the world, so it should have the proper airs.

Tao Zhishan said, "Professor Wang, I am here to represent the higher-ups. They are discussing the possibility of adding some of your pieces to the official piano teaching materials. I am here to hear your opinion."

Wang Qian nodded slightly.

Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and Qin Xuerong did not dare to sit down and stood obediently behind Wang Qian.

Wang Qian looked at He Chaohui and said, "I will definitely agree to give lectures at the Central Conservatory of Music. This is the right thing to do. After all, I am also a professor in the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music. However, the specific time will definitely be postponed. We will decide when the time comes. It may be until next semester."

He Chaohui showed a trace of disappointment on her face, and tried to say, "Professor Wang, as far as I know, you have time recently. You have at least half a month to rest before your next performance. Can you go to Beijing soon? Our school will arrange everything for you. It will take you at most one day."

Wang Qian thought for a second and shook his head. "Sorry, Director He, I really can't do that. Let's wait until I finish focusing on The Voice. I will try to participate in international competitions first. You don't want me to fail in international competitions and embarrass China, right?"

After today's class, Wang Qian wanted to take a good rest. The next class must be as long as possible.

He had a feeling that teaching next time would be even more tiring.

So, he definitely would not agree to go in the next few days.

He Chaohui smiled bitterly and put the big hat on him.

Who dares to say no

He Chaohui fell silent for a moment and looked at Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu turned his head away, as if he didn't see his mother's gaze.

Seeing He Chaohui was silent, Wang Qian looked at Tao Zhishan and said, "Principal Tao, I definitely agree with the inclusion of my piano music in the textbooks. If you need my authorization, just give me the signature of the authorization letter."

Previously, Wang Qian handled the affairs of several schools impartially. If they wanted to use the technology, they had to pay authorization fees, which was open and transparent.

Wang Qian will not make it available to everyone for free.

However, at a higher level, from a national perspective.

Wang Qian is willing to pay.

If you sacrifice a little of your own interests, you can increase more people's interest in music.

Wang Qian would definitely be willing to do it.

Tao Zhishan nodded gently and said kindly, "Professor Wang, don't worry, we will give you the licensing fee. The higher-ups won't deduct this fee from you. Now, the country attaches great importance to intellectual property rights and original copyrights, and will not take any advantage of you. You will get what you deserve. If you agree and the discussion above passes, someone may come to see you next year with a lawyer."

"Professor Li and I were both in the discussion group, and I voted in favor."

Li Xiyan sat there, with his hands on his mahogany cane, and said, "I voted in favor, too. From my perspective as a piano player for decades, these pieces by Professor Wang may become world-famous pieces in the future. As far as I know, these pieces have begun to become popular in North America. Several North American music schools are already teaching them, and some private tutoring institutions are also trying to teach them."

"Professor Wang is Chinese. We must be ahead of the world. I support this."

There was a pause in his tone.

Then Li Xiyan looked at Wang Qian and said seriously: "Professor Wang, I came to see you for one more thing."

The living room became quiet.

Tao Zhishan and He Chaohui stopped talking and looked at Li Xiyan and Wang Qian quietly, as if they knew what was going to happen next.

Wang Qian was infected by the atmosphere and looked at Li Xiyan seriously and said, "Professor Li, please go ahead."

Li Xiyan still looked at Wang Qian and said, "Originally, I wanted to wait and see for a while before making a decision. However, today is worse than tomorrow. This time I came here to invite you to join the National Orchestra and temporarily serve as a piano substitute."

Wang Qian’s eyes widened.

He didn't expect Li Xiyan to make such an invitation...

National Orchestra!

That is the highest level symphony orchestra in the country.

Every instrumentalist in it is a world-class performer.

At the same time, this is also one of the world's top orchestras.

It is a national orchestra formed with the strength of a country, bringing together almost the top performing masters in the country. It represents the country's classical music in the world. It has performed many times in major famous regions abroad and has a high worldwide reputation.

Wang Qian felt that he was definitely not qualified to join an orchestra of this level.

As for the next level bands...

He felt that he might just be able to do it.

He Chaohui whispered to Wang Qian, "Professor Li is currently serving as one of the deputy directors of the orchestra. The previous pianist was the head of the orchestra, and the current pianist is also a student taught by Professor Li."

Wang Qian suddenly realized, looked at Li Xiyan with respect, and shook his head gently and seriously: "Professor Li, thank you for coming so far to see me and giving me such a good opportunity."

Li Xiyan asked softly: "So, you refused?"

Wang Qian nodded: "Well, I can only refuse, I have no choice."

Li Xiyan smiled: "Are you afraid?"

Wang Qian also smiled frankly: "I am very afraid. I am afraid that I am not qualified enough, not strong enough, and will be a drag. Then I will embarrass you and everyone else internationally."

Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and Qin Xuerong all showed a trace of anxiety on their pretty faces, and they really wanted to agree to it on behalf of Wang Qian.

Joining the National Orchestra is Jiang Yu’s highest ideal.

Unfortunately, she knew that she probably had no hope in this life.

Once Wang Qian joins the National Orchestra, his status in the field of classical music will instantly change.

Li Xiyan said softly, "I came to invite you personally, which means I recognize your ability. As for qualifications, you can accumulate them slowly in the future. I have informed several people in the group, and they all agreed to my invitation."

After a pause, Li Xiyan continued, "I have studied every piece of your music, and now I am still studying your Flight of the Bumblebee and General's Order in my heart. I can feel that your talent is extremely amazing, and your piano playing is no less than my peak period back then. Whether in terms of strength or talent, you are the best candidate, and I think your youth is exactly your advantage. You may achieve greater success in the future, which is also what the orchestra needs."

Tao Zhishan nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, Professor Wang's piano playing ability is already world-class, and it is sufficient for him to join the National Orchestra."

Wang Qian thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and refused.

He can give lectures at several universities to increase his academic reputation.

Because even if he failed, it would only be his own shame and a few schools would lose some reputation.

At worst, I can just stop being involved in the music circle.

He can bear the consequences.

But…

Once you join the national orchestra, you are not allowed to make mistakes.

Once the car flips over.

Wang Qian felt that he was not able to take the blame.

If he makes a mistake, he will become a national sinner.

So, Wang Qian shook his head and said, "Professor Li, President Tao, thank you for your recognition of me. However, I still feel that I am not qualified enough. Perhaps, after waiting for another ten or eight years, I will consider agreeing to it. Now, I really dare not agree."

Wang Qian has lived in this world for eight years and has never done anything seriously.

If he had concentrated on practicing piano for a few years, he would have the confidence to join the national orchestra.

Now, he really doesn't dare to go.

Li Xiyan looked at Wang Qian and asked seriously, "Are you sure you want to refuse now? There may not be such an opportunity in the future. I don't know how many years I can live. After I'm gone, those people won't value young people as much as I do. The young people in the group now were all invited by me. You don't need to worry about being excluded and suppressed because of your youth. As long as I'm alive, there won't be any such thing."

He Chaohui chimed in, "Professor Wang, you can agree to not participate in the performance first, slowly accumulate experience and strength, and then participate in the performance later."

Wang Qian hurriedly shook his head: "Forget it. I really appreciate Professor Li's invitation. I'm not afraid of being suppressed and excluded, I'm afraid I'll mess it up. I can make small troubles here, but I dare not do that in the National Orchestra. Professor Li, thank you for your appreciation, but I'm afraid I will let you down."

Li Xiyan looked at Wang Qian with a hint of disappointment and said, "Well, although I admire you and hope you can join us, I won't force you. Seeing how unconfident you are, maybe you really need more experience and accumulation. Confidence is a mental outlook that every performer in the orchestra must have."

Wang Qian nodded: "Yes, yes, thank you Professor Li for your teachings. I will improve myself in the future."

Li Xiyan still said: "Okay, if you figure it out one day and feel confident, you can contact me."

Wang Qian replied gratefully: "Thank you, Professor Li, thank you."

Li Xiyan just nodded slightly and stopped talking.

Three people, three things.

That’s all.

Wang Qian said immediately: "I will treat the three of you to dinner tonight, and show my hospitality."

He Chaohui and Tao Zhishan both looked at Li Xiyan.

Li Xiyan shook his head: "Forget it, I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to go to Moyin to hang out and meet old friends. Let's have dinner there."

He Chaohui also said: "Professor Wang, I won't bother you anymore. I will treat you to a meal next time you come to Beijing."

Tao Zhishan also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, next time Professor Wang comes to Beijing, we will treat you. As for today, we will take our leave first."

Wang Qian: "Sit down and rest for a while."

He Chaohui: "No, we have some things to do at Moyin. We came to see you first, and now that we have finished talking, Moyin is still waiting for us."

He Chaohui’s subconscious meaning is: You are more important than Moyin!

Wang Qian smiled and said, "Well, Professor Li, Principal Tao, Director He, take care..."

Jiang Yu suddenly said, "Professor Li, Principal Tao, Director He, Professor Wang is going to write some calligraphy later. These are new works he wrote today at Moyin. They have not been published to the public yet. Don't you want to stay and take a look? I remember that Professor Li's calligraphy is also very good."

Jiang Yu had known Li Xiyan since childhood and knew that besides music, Li Xiyan's only hobby was calligraphy, so he reminded Li Xiyan at this moment, wanting him to stay and see Wang Qian's calligraphy.

She didn't know whether it was for Li Xiyan or Wang Qian...

Wang Qian was stunned for a moment.

Li Xiyan, who was about to leave, was stunned for a moment, then sat back down.

Tao Zhishan and He Chaohui were already prepared to support Li Xiyan, and now they sat down again.

The three of them looked at Wang Qian again.
