In the lounge.
Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Juliet, Qin Xuerong and others all stood up and applauded, giving their applause to Wang Qian on the TV screen.
Juliet said in amazement, "Is it true that any musical instrument, in the hands of a teacher, can be played so perfectly?"
Jiang Yu recalled the time from the first time he saw Wang Qian play the piano to now, and nodded and said, "So far, he has done it all."
Juliet said longingly, "I wonder if I can ever learn to play these instruments from my teacher in my lifetime!"
Murong Yue shook her head: "You can learn to play, but it's impossible for you to reach his level in this lifetime. No one can..."
All of them are absolute geniuses in their respective fields, so they all know that Wang Qian's success and abilities are not replicable.
No one can learn Wang Qian's path to success.
In the screen.
After Wang Qian answered Jennifer's words, he waved goodbye to the 100,000 people present and turned to leave the stage.
After walking off the stage, Wang Qian was slightly surprised to see Sophie standing there.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Sophie, who was about to go on stage, was also wearing a decent cheongsam. Her figure was not as good as Jennifer’s, but she looked more pure and slender. She smiled and waved to Wang Qian who was walking off the stage and said, “When I go to Huaxia, can you teach me to play the suona? Professor Wang!”
Wang Qian nodded and replied with a smile: "Of course, Sophie..."
The two of them made a small joke, but they were also serious about it.
Sophie is still a student now. If she enrolls in Hua Xia Mo Yin School, won’t she be Wang Qian’s student
Thinking of this, Sophie felt excited again.
"You're going to play the piano?"
Wang Qian thought about it for a moment and asked speculatively.
There is still half an hour left until the official performance time announced by the program team.
It is obviously impossible for the program crew to start the official performance so long in advance, and Jennifer did not say that the official performance was about to begin.
Therefore, Sophie’s performance on stage now should not be a formal performance, but a solo performance similar to Wang Qian.
Sophie’s solo performance can only be on the piano!
Nodding confidently...
Sophie: "Yes, the program team invited me to play a piano piece half an hour ago, and I agreed. I chose your most popular Magic City Rhapsody. Of course, this is not my favorite. My favorite is To Xuerong. If you can compose a piece named after me in the future, that would be my favorite."
Sophie looked at Wang Qian expectantly, and her words made all her feelings clear.
Wang Qian also looked at Sophie and nodded: "If I have the chance in the future, I will. I look forward to your piano performance..."
Sophie nodded gently to Wang Qian: "Thank you, I'm on stage!"
After that, Sophie walked quietly onto the stage, where Jennifer had already called out her name.
Wang Qian watched Sophie go on stage. Jennifer, who was in the center of the stage, walked towards Sophie and gave her a warm hug. Sophie also patted Jennifer on the back gently.
Both of them wore cheongsams in a very Chinese style on the stage, which made many people at the scene feel very strange, but they were indeed very beautiful.
The close-up shot on the large screen in the center made many people stare with their eyes wide open, thinking that they could spend the whole night just staring at these two people.
Social media platforms around the world have been flooded with discussions about what the two were wearing.
In Europe and the United States, the response was mixed.
Some people objected because they thought that when they performed in Los Angeles, they should cater to European and American audiences instead of wearing Chinese-style cheongsams to please Chinese audiences.
"Why not wear a dress? Why wear a cheongsam? Although it looks good, I think it doesn't fit the temperament of Los Angeles, the City of Angels."
"Are Chinese elements so popular? However, we have the largest audience."
"I think they look great. Many of Huaxia's clothes are very beautiful, much better than the same old evening gowns."
"To please the Chinese audience, I won't watch it anymore."
"Why are you wearing a cheongsam? No matter how pretty it is, I don't like it."
…
Although there are mixed reviews, everyone thinks it looks good, which is a unanimous opinion.
However, they did not know that the two people wearing cheongsams on the stage were not trying to please the Chinese audience, but to please the person who had just stepped off the stage.
However, on all major social media platforms in China, there is a unanimous praise!
The picture of Sophie and Jennifer standing together in cheongsams was screenshotted as soon as it appeared and spread across many social platforms.
“It’s so beautiful.”
"To be honest, this is the most beautiful cheongsam I have ever seen. I mean the person wearing it."
"My God, anyone who can marry one of these two in this life will die with peace of mind."
"The combination of exotic customs and cheongsam is really powerful."
"It's mainly because Sophie and Jennifer are both so pretty, especially Sophie. It's not an exaggeration to say that she's the best. And combined with the special charm of the cheongsam, it's simply irresistible. I'm going to have insomnia today..."
"By the way, it's enough to just keep watching the two of them standing on the stage."
…
Jennifer and Sophie hugged each other for a moment and then separated. They both looked at each other seriously.
The slight rejection Sophie had in her heart towards Jennifer no longer existed, and her eyes became much softer and calmer when she looked at Jennifer.
Jennifer whispered, "Come to my room at night? The hallway is no longer suitable."
Sophie asked back, "Why not my room? He can walk a few steps less."
Jennifer smiled and stopped talking. She let go of Sophie and walked towards the piano that had just been placed in the center of the stage. She said loudly, "There is no shortage of geniuses on our stage. In addition to the godlike Professor Wang Qian, there is also the piano genius Sophie! Today, she will give us a piano solo."
Sophie walked up to the piano quietly, without saying a word, and immediately began to build up her emotions in her heart.
Jennifer turned and walked off the stage, handing the stage over to Sophie.
The 100,000 people in the audience gave Sophie a warm round of applause.
Wang Qian just demonstrated the charm of Chinese folk musical instruments and shocked the world.
Now, it's Sophie's turn to show off her piano talent.
Many European and American classical music artists at the scene or in front of the TV were a little jealous of Sophie's luck, for being able to show her talent on such a stage.
Of course, many people also expressed their expectation that Sophie could use her piano performance to surpass Wang Qian’s suona performance just now, and win face for their European and American classical music art field.
but.
When Sophie pressed her hands on the piano keys.
All the European and American music artists who were looking forward to it showed a bitter smile and helplessness.
They could tell the name of this Magic City Rhapsody just by listening to the first few notes of the prelude.
After all, this was the piece of music that all of them had studied, because it was considered the best pop piano piece by many European and American listeners and authoritative media judges. It also broke the sales record when it was released, and it still holds the record for the highest sales of piano music. The cumulative sales have exceeded 700 million. Since its release, the average sales have been nearly 100 million almost every week, which is terrifying.
The name Wang Qian and the place name Modou are both remembered by many people around the world along with this song.
Sophie's performance of this piece of music obviously adapted to the market trend and played what everyone liked to listen to.
However, in the eyes of many music artists, Sophie’s performance of Wang Qian’s music would definitely not be better than Wang Qian’s, and they were a little disappointed.
Ma Long whispered to Aung Lai beside him, "Sophie may never be able to get rid of Wang Qian's influence."
Listening to the familiar rhythm of Sophie's performance and her extremely devoted emotions, Aung Lai said seriously: "Professor, in this era, who can step out of Wang Qian's shadow in the future?"
After hearing what Aung Lai said, Ma Long fell silent for a moment. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this was a helpless fact.
Even he has fallen into Wang Qian's shadow.
This is true of almost all other piano artists.
No one can escape!
Unless you don't want to make a living by playing the piano anymore.
Otherwise, whether you sell tickets for concerts, teach at training schools, or work as a teacher at a music school, etc.
It is impossible to avoid Wang Qian's works.
The audience likes to listen to his works, so you must play his works at your concert, otherwise you won’t be able to sell tickets!
Students prefer to learn from his works, so you must teach his works when you open a training class, otherwise no one will come to pay to learn.
The school is also studying and teaching his works. If you want to be a piano teacher, you must also study his works more thoroughly, otherwise you will not be able to complete your teaching tasks...
Aung Lai looked at Sophie and said softly, "Sophie's talent and ability can indeed be said to be second only to Wang Qian. She has been focusing on creating pop music for so long, but her piano playing level is still improving. If she can continue to focus on the piano, she may catch up with Wang Qian in piano playing, or at least not be inferior to Wang Qian's musician Jiang Yu."
Ma Long nodded, looked at Sophie, and sighed: "In the future, it will be increasingly difficult to escape Wang Qian's influence."
Aung Lai smiled bitterly, stopped talking, and listened attentively to Sophie's performance.
All the classical music artists and people who understand classical music in the audience watched Sophie's performance with great concentration and shining eyes.
Because Sophie’s performance has begun to approach the level of international masters. Although there is still a gap, it is not far away. Perhaps with one or two more years of hard work, she will be able to cross this threshold and step into the field of piano masters.
Such talent...
It really makes all piano artists admire and envy.
Taylor also whispered, "Sophie's talent in piano is really not inferior to mine."
She had just touched the level of a piano master, but she didn't expect Sophie to catch up with her.
but…
She doesn't care about it.
because.
There is another person named Jiang Yu beside Wang Qian, who has reached the level of a piano master.
She and Sophie are both laggards, or you could say they are both pursuers.
Wang Qian returned to the lounge, enjoyed everyone's admiration and congratulations, and then sat down to quietly enjoy Sophie's piano solo.
Wang Qian suddenly looked at Jiang Yu and asked, "Jiang Jiang, do you want to perform on stage? I can make a request to the program team, and they will definitely give you time for a song."
Everyone in the lounge was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Yu.
The opportunity to perform solo on a stage like this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, perhaps the most important opportunity in your life.
Jiang Yu had already enjoyed such an opportunity last time, showing his master-level piano playing skills to the world and shocking the piano art field around the world.
Jiang Yu was also stunned for a moment, then he shook his head gently: "Forget it, I've already performed on stage, there's no need now. Ask Juliet if she wants to go..."
Jiang Yu looked at Juliet and gave this opportunity to her.
Of course, she and Murong Yue definitely have a better relationship, but Murong Yue only knows how to play the drums, and the other instruments are entry-level guitar and piano, neither of which are suitable for solo performances on stage.
Here, the piano suitable for solo performance is Juliet's piano. After all, she is also one of the top piano geniuses in Europe and the United States.
Juliet was looking at Jiang Yu with some envy, but then she heard Jiang Yu calling her name, and was startled. Then she saw Wang Qian's expectant eyes, and hurriedly lowered her head in shame, shook her head gently and said, "I, I can't do it. I haven't finished my apprenticeship yet. I still need to study with the teacher for a while before I can perform on stage."
Wang Qian looked at Juliet carefully and asked softly, "Juliet, in fact, your ability is enough, not much worse than Sophie on the stage. If you want to go, I will talk to the production team now. There is still time."
Juliet thought about it for a while, but still shook her head: "No, thank you teacher, I want to improve a little bit before performing in public, thank you."
She looked at Jiang Yu, and actually had already set Jiang Yu as her target in her heart.
The last time Jiang Yu performed publicly on stage, he shocked the world piano community with his master-level piano playing skills.
Then, the goal she set for herself was to reach the level of a master pianist before performing in public.
otherwise…
Didn’t she lose to Jiang Yu
She thought that her talent was superior to Jiang Yu's, and the reason she lost to Jiang Yu now was because Jiang Yu and Wang Qian had studied for half a year longer.
If she doesn’t surpass Jiang Yu, how can she prove herself to the world
How to prove that I am the most talented piano player around Wang Qian
Juliet didn't know.
Sophie and Taylor had almost the same idea as her.
Everyone wants to be the most talented piano player around Wang Qian, everyone wants to be the person in the world who is second only to Wang Qian in piano attainments, and the person closest to Wang Qian.
Surpass Wang Qian
They never thought about it.
No matter what the outside world expects of them.
They themselves know that it is unrealistic to surpass Wang Qian in the field of piano.
Wang Qian nodded to Juliet and said seriously, "I've been busy with performances recently and haven't had much time to teach you. It's my fault. After I return home, I will take the time to teach you about piano."
Juliet was overjoyed, her pretty face full of smiles, staring at Wang Qian with her eyes: "Really? Teacher?"
Wang Qian nodded: "Of course it's true, this is what I should do."
Juliet looked at Sophie on the TV screen, and firmly thought in her heart that she would soon be able to surpass Jiang Yu and completely leave Sophie behind. She smiled at Wang Qian and said, "Thank you, teacher!"
Wang Qian shook his head: "You're welcome. If you study hard and graduate early, that will be the best way to thank me."
Wang Qian also wanted to let Juliet graduate as soon as possible so that he could feel more relaxed. He also felt pressured following this student every day.
He has been a little crazy lately, and the scumbag nature in him is about to come out.
Juliet's appearance and temperament are the perfect combination of the East and the West, and her lethality is even greater than Sophie and Jennifer, Miyuki Nakamori and Maou Chiba.
But Wang Qian had never cared about it before.
Now…
Wang Qian sensed the danger and wanted Juliet to leave as soon as possible to prevent something bad from happening.
so.
After returning home.
Wang Qian planned to take time out to give Juliet a good lesson so that she would leave him as soon as possible.
Since you have agreed to be someone's piano teacher.
Of course, Wang Qian will do his best to teach the other party everything he knows.
However, when Juliet heard Wang Qian's words, her eyes sparkled and her lips were full of smiles!
"If we finish our apprenticeship earlier, then we won't be master and student anymore, right?"
When Juliet thought of this, she vowed to herself that she would try her best to learn Wang Qian's lessons and strive to graduate as soon as possible, faster than Jiang Yu.
Then, she can do what she wants.
On stage!
Sophie has finished her performance.
Sophie's fully committed performance made this song extremely beautiful.
However, without the accompaniment that Wang Qian had during his first performance, it seemed a bit monotonous.
However, with Sophie's powerful performance, it is still wonderful.
There was warm applause at the scene...
Sophie bowed slightly to everyone, then turned and left the stage without saying a word, not even introducing the name of the song to anyone.
She believed that this piano piece needed no introduction and everyone would know it after listening to it.
The entire audience and the entire world were even more fascinated by Sophie's cool temperament and style.
People always have a greater tolerance for genius.
The opening performance of the most talented champion and runner-up is over.
Official performance!
Starting soon…
All the audience at the scene and in front of the TV were once again full of expectations.
The two instrumental solos before the formal performance were so wonderful and of such a high standard.
A master-level performer of Chinese folk instruments and a quasi-master-level piano soloist!
These two people are enough to hold a high-level music concert, but this is just an appetizer before the formal performance.
So, will the official performance later be even more exciting
Adam is about to appear on stage!
Feeling this atmosphere, I felt very uneasy.
How can he compare with the performances of the two geniuses Wang Qian and Sophie
If I had known...
He didn't let his agent fight with the program team for the first appearance.
Because Wang Qian and Sophie both refused to continue cooperating with the program team, the program team agreed to let Adam appear first in order to support him.
Now, Adam is feeling a bit frustrated and under a lot of pressure.
If possible, he would like to give the benefit of being the first to appear to someone else.
