Now, who is the most popular person in North America
Isn’t it Kristen, the top singer in North America!
Nor are they many of Hollywood's superstars.
He is not even the occupant of the White House who is stirring up the world situation.
But a young man from China!
The name Wang Qian has now truly become a household name in North America.
A few days ago, at the opening performance of The Voice of China World Competition, Wang Qian’s appearance created the peak ratings for the show that night. More than one billion people watched it worldwide, and nearly 100 million people watched it in North America alone!
And just over a day had passed!
Another temporary program following and reporting on Wang Qian once again created super ratings with over 100 million viewers in North America and over 300 million viewers worldwide.
Creating such high ratings in such a short period of time made Wang Qian's popularity soar rapidly.
Many people who did not watch these two TV shows, do not listen to the songs, and have no interest in music heard this name from other people and thus learned about Wang Qian's explosive performance after coming to North America.
Now, discussions about Wang Qian can be seen everywhere on the entire North American Internet.
A top music critic publicly commented on Wang Qian on Facebook: "Mr. Wang Qian proved through this class that his musical talent and gift are the best in the world. Even our genius Christine cannot compare to him. Just now on the show, I saw that more than a dozen top classical music schools in North America have invited Mr. Wang Qian, not only to give lectures, but also to teach at the academy as a professor."
"If Mr. Wang Qian agrees, he may become the only Chinese musician in the world to teach at several top classical schools in North America, and also the youngest one. I think he should give up participating in the so-called Voice of China World Competition, which does not reflect his musical and artistic strength at all. He should hold a world tour concert immediately, and I will definitely go to listen to his performance live."
"Just through the TV signal, his performances of piano and violin, as well as the pipa, a unique Chinese instrument, shocked me. I can't imagine what a wonderful musical enjoyment it would be if I listened to his music performance live."
The music critic's speech received support from many people, especially many music artists and music art lovers who did not attend Curtis Wang Qian's lectures, all of whom agreed with it very much.
"You are absolutely right. He is still participating in The Voice. It is a waste of his own musical talent."
"I sat in front of the TV and listened to his piano and violin performances. I was stunned. It was more attractive than the last performance by a top North American pianist I heard. The emotional involvement was even stronger. If you can listen to Mr. Wang Qian's performance live, it will definitely be the most wonderful musical enjoyment. I strongly recommend Mr. Wang Qian to hold several music concerts in North America."
"He is so young, but his musical talent is so amazing. I am a sponsor of Eastman College, and I hope he can accept the invitation of Eastman College, so that I can meet him at Eastman College in the future, and even have the opportunity to listen to his lectures and live performances at Eastman College, which would be great."
"He said his major is an actor and music is just a hobby. God, I really want to open his head and see!"
“He didn’t hold a world-class concert, but he conquered the world with his pure musical art.”
…
This is the admiration expressed by many people who understand the art of music, and they all really want to listen to Wang Qian's piano and violin performances live.
Many ordinary people were there purely to join in the fun, but most of them also praised him. After all, so many music artists respected Wang Qian so much, and even if they didn't understand him, they couldn't go against those top professional artists.
“I was stunned to see so many artists from prestigious schools extend invitations to him.”
"To be honest, I really like the performance of the Chinese musical instrument called Pipa. It is very intense and very pleasant to listen to. In this class, I was most impressed by the performance of Pipa. Where can I buy this instrument?"
"I loved his violin performance, it was so sad, I almost cried listening to it."
"So, did anyone notice that he broke Kristen's single-day download record?"
"I noticed before that his single broke Kristen's record for single-day downloads, but then I was even more shocked by his class. I can't imagine that he has achieved such high achievements in both pop and classical music. If he is given another ten years, he will dominate the world music field, including pop and classical music, and everyone will live in his shadow."
"Compared to him, my favorite singer Kristen's understanding of music seems to pale. The contestants competing with him, Adam, Sophie, Elizabeth, they all seem like elementary school students."
“Will he win the World Championship?”
"Now I just want to watch his performance on the Voice of China stage. Compared with the classical instrument performance in this class, I prefer his rock performance on the stage. Rock music shocks me more."
…
There were also some mindless remarks that slandered Wang Qian, but they were quickly drowned out and basically could not be seen!
In order to get more information about Wang Qian, many media outlets immediately blocked the gate of Curtis College, hoping to interview Wang Qian as soon as he appeared!
pity!
A car came out.
Hundreds of regular media outlets and hundreds of self-media influencers gathered on the road in front of the entrance, blocking it directly.
When everyone saw Taylor driving a car, they knew without thinking that Wang Qian must be sitting in the car!
Who else is qualified to have Taylor, the youngest pianist in North America, as a driver
Only Wang Qian...
so.
Seeing Taylor driving, the hundreds of media people became even crazier.
Reporters crowded towards the car door and shouted loudly.
"Mr. Wang Qian, can you come down and accept our interview?"
"Mr. Wang Qian, I'm from Universal Music, and I want to discuss cooperation with you!"
"Mr. Wang Qian, will you hold a concert in North America?"
"Mr. Wang Qian, you said you are an actor, so will you appear in movies and TV series in the future to prove your acting skills?"
"Mr. Wang Qian, with so many famous music schools inviting you to teach, will you stay in North America?"
"Mr. Wang Qian..."
One by one, the media reporters called Wang Qian "Mr.". It was no longer the casual way they addressed him a few hours ago. Now, calling Wang Qian carried a hint of respect!
This is a respect for the world's top music artists, and also a respect for the many top prestigious universities that have invited Wang Qian and offered him super treatment.
Taylor gently stepped on the accelerator and drove the car forward little by little, with no intention of stopping. At the same time, he waved vigorously at the media reporters who were blocking the road outside, signaling everyone to get out of the way!
The group of reporters had no choice. They couldn't really block Wang Qian's way, so they could only gently make way. However, they still kept shouting unwillingly, hoping to attract Wang Qian's attention and get him to come out for an interview.
but!
Wang Qian obviously had no interest in being interviewed. He still lay in the chair with his eyes closed. He had no interest in anything happening outside and let Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong and Jiang Yu give him a relaxing massage.
Buzz buzz buzz…
Taylor stepped on the accelerator hard. The loud sound of the accelerator scared the reporters blocking the road in front and they quickly moved aside. Taylor took the opportunity to speed up, quickly left here and drove towards the hotel!
The media reporters around had no choice but to let the car leave. They couldn't interview Wang Qian, so they could only take pictures non-stop. They had to leave something behind. Even if they had to write up the news casually, they had to include a real picture.
When the car arrived at the hotel entrance, the number of media gathered there did not decrease at all, and there were more than a hundred people waiting at the door.
Taylor drove his car to the door and the surrounding media reporters quickly came up and tried to block Wang Qian's way at the door to interview him.
fine.
Jiang Yu seized the opportunity to get out of the car and block several reporters, then asked security guards to come and maintain order so that the reporters did not block the car door.
Wang Qian opened his eyes and almost fell asleep in that moment.
Qin Xuerong said softly, "I'm sleepy, go back to your room and sleep. Curtis's dinner will be in two hours anyway. I'll call you when the time is up."
Wang Qian nodded, grabbed Qin Xuerong's hand and got out of the car together. He also gently grabbed Qin Xuehong's hand with his other hand, and then quickly let go.
Qin Xuehong smiled and followed Wang Qian out of the car.
Murong Yue got out of the car as if she knew nothing and acted as Wang Qian's bodyguard.
The voices of the surrounding media reporters were even louder.
"Mr. Wang Qian, will you withdraw from the Voice competition?"
"Mr. Wang Qian, the North American Classical Music Association has invited you to become a member. Will you accept?"
"Mr. Wang Qian..."
Wang Qian ignored the reporters around him and quickly entered the hotel gate under the protection of several security guards and Jiang Yu and Murong Yue. Then the door was quickly closed and the hotel did not allow media reporters to enter!
Taylor followed Wang Qian's steps and whispered, "The teacher said that I am now fully responsible for your reception. I will wait for you at the hotel. If you need anything, you can always contact me."
Wang Qian glanced at Taylor and saw that Taylor was keeping his head down, looking very low-key. He said casually, "Then you wait for me here. I'll go back to sleep and then go to the banquet."
Taylor stopped, glanced at Wang Qian, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for you here!"
Wang Qian smiled at Taylor.
Qin Xuerong also smiled at Taylor, grabbed Wang Qian's hand and walked into the elevator.
Qin Xuehong, Jiang Yu and Murong Yue followed them into the elevator!
Qin Xuehong then whispered, "It feels like everyone here has gone crazy for you."
Wang Qian said calmly: "These media can go crazy at any time for news."
Qin Xuehong said seriously: "But you are the first Chinese musician who made them so crazy."
Wang Qian looked at Qin Xuehong and smiled faintly: "Thank you Sister Xuehong for the compliment."
A hint of smile appeared in Qin Xuehong's eyes: "I am just telling the truth. The influence of your class will exceed your imagination, and also exceed my imagination."
Although Qin Xuehong is not in the field of music and art, nor is she in the entertainment industry, she can imagine that Wang Qian's performance this time has greatly made Chinese music and art famous in the world. This may be a milestone event for the entire Chinese music and art field, and its influence is definitely beyond her imagination.
Wang Qian didn't say anything.
Murong Yue said, "Wang Qian, a professor from our school just came to me. He wanted me to introduce you to him. I said you need to rest. Why don't you meet him at the banquet? He may want to invite you to give a class at Berkeley, and he may also want to invite you to teach at Berkeley."
“Berklee has not made much progress in the field of classical music in recent years, so it has begun to focus on developing pop music and has become better at making money.”
“But Berklee College has always wanted to become a famous classical school! They want to invite you to Berklee and build Berklee’s reputation in the field of classical music.”
Wang Qian shook his head: "Forget it, this class is too tiring. If I had known that teaching in North America would be so tiring, I would have rejected Curtis' invitation yesterday. Forget about Berkeley's invitation, but it's okay to meet and chat with him."
He Chaohui, Peng Donghu, Yang Jiansen, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and others could all hear that the musical artistic foundation and realm displayed by Wang Qian in Curtis' class was much higher than his lectures in Zhejiang Conservatory of Music's Magic Sound!
But the price was that Wang Qian felt exhausted from the bottom of his heart!
When he was giving lectures at Hua Xia Mo Yin and Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, it was enough for him to speak seriously, which made things much easier.
However, here, you face the test of the world's top music artists.
The difficulty is much higher than teaching in China.
Although we don't want to admit it, the objective fact is that in the field of music art, there is a huge gap between China and Europe and the United States.
If Wang Qian wants to avoid failure in Curtis, he will have to pay more energy and cost.
Berklee is also a world-renowned music school, and in terms of popularity, it may even be higher than top classical schools such as Curtis, Eastman, Juilliard, and Manhattan.
After all, Berklee is a top figure in the field of pop music and has a greater influence on the pop music and entertainment circles, so his popularity among ordinary people is naturally higher!
After all, the audience for classical music is far smaller than that for pop music.
If Wang Qian agrees to give lectures at Berkeley, it will definitely attract the attention of the entire European and American music field.
At that time, we will not only have to face many classical music artists, but also many famous European and American pop music masters and top superstars.
Wang Qian got a headache just thinking about it.
Forget it!
Murong Yue nodded: "Okay, I'll tell him."
Berkeley's reputation in the professional field has gradually declined in recent years. Almost many young people in Asia can enter Berkeley and become Berkeley students as long as they spend money, which has greatly lowered Berkeley's professionalism and authority.
Murong Yue could also understand Wang Qian's choice.
When they arrived at the room, Murong Yue and Jiang Yu went back to their own rooms, leaving the sisters Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong behind.
Wang Qian fell directly on the sofa, closed his eyes and wanted to sleep.
Qin Xuerong went to pour water for Wang Qian.
Qin Xuehong looked at Qin Xuerong's back, then quickly bent down and kissed Wang Qian lightly on the lips, then sat next to him and took out his cell phone as if nothing had happened.
Wang Qian felt a familiar smell coming, and it left as soon as it touched him. He opened his eyes and looked at Qin Xuehong. Qin Xuehong smiled secretly and whispered, "Come to my room tonight?"
Wang Qian shook his head slightly, indicating that he couldn't go.
Qin Xuehong stopped talking, just smiled with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. If Qin Xuerong had not been here, she would have wanted to do something crazy right now.
Qin Xuerong came over and poured a glass of water for Wang Qian and his sister Qin Xuehong, and was about to speak.
Wang Qian's phone rang.
It’s Zhou Qinghua calling!
Qin Xuerong immediately pulled Qin Xuehong to the next room to chat, leaving Wang Qian with a separate rest space.
Wang Qian picked up the phone and looked at it, and answered it.
