Where there are people, there is the world.
People who have achieved success in the field of art do not hide their personalities and preferences and say whatever they think.
So it is more likely to cause disputes.
In the history of art development, many master artists and great artists have their own special personal hobbies. Many masters and great artists cannot stand each other and almost never have any contact with each other, and they never say anything nice to each other when they speak.
This straightforward way of expression makes the factions and regional divisions in the art field extremely obvious, and the different factions and regions are almost incompatible.
In terms of large regions.
The North American art field and the European art field are almost incompatible.
There is rarely any in-depth communication in the field of art between the two major regions.
The most recent large-scale in-depth exchange and contact was when Wang Qian gave a lecture at Curtis, which attracted the attention of music artists from all over the world and thus attracted a gathering of artists from all over the world. It was the largest gathering in the field of music and art in at least half a century.
And now.
Wang Qian's lectures at the Juilliard School once again gathered music artists from all over the world, as well as senior celebrities, wealthy people and music and art enthusiasts.
The scale of this gathering was larger and more high-end than the last time Wang Qian gave a lecture at Curtis College.
The last time Wang Qian gave a lecture at Curtis, it was rather hasty after all. At the same time, Wang Qian’s reputation in the world was not that loud at that time, far less than it is now.
Therefore, Wang Qian's appeal was even louder during this lecture at the Juilliard School. With the media publicity, he has embarked on the path to becoming a great master, which has a fatal attraction for music artists all over the world.
Therefore, this time New York has gathered almost all the big-name art schools from all over the world, and many of the top music schools.
Last time at Curtis’s, most of Europe’s top music schools, such as the Berlin Conservatory of Music, Hanover Conservatory of Music, and Vienna Conservatory of Music, were not present. They all seemed to be somewhat resistant and looked down upon Curtis and Wang Qian.
And now, all the top music schools in the world that can be named are here!
Various New York media outlets have published the names of the various music artists and representatives of prestigious schools they interviewed and the interview processes on their own pages and social media accounts, gradually compiling a list of all the prestigious music schools and the names of most of the top music artists.
The New York Music and Art News reported: "This is the largest gathering of world music and art in hundreds of years since the birth of music and art! Today will be recorded in the history of the development of world music and art. New York will become a well-deserved world music and art center. The Juilliard School once again demonstrated its status and unique appeal in the field of music and art..."
"Professor Wang Qian's class at the Juilliard School today may influence the direction of world music art! He will face tremendous pressure from almost all the top music schools and all the music masters in the world. Can he withstand this pressure? We will wait and see!"
…
Since the official birth of music art.
Over the past few hundred years, there have naturally been many large-scale gatherings in the field of music and art.
However, in the old days, due to inconvenient transportation, it was naturally difficult to gather all the music artists and representatives from famous schools from all over the world at once.
Therefore, this open class at the Juilliard School in New York is indeed the largest gathering in the field of music and art in history.
To quote a gossip media on a social platform: "I threw a brick at the airport and hit three music artists and seven music professors..."
but.
Through various interviews and reports from various media, the atmosphere of collision between the music and art fields of several major regions has gradually gathered.
The development of music and art in North America has been rapid in recent decades. Seven or eight of the top ten music schools in the world are from North America, which is almost a monopoly.
The famous European music and art schools have a profound foundation, with a history of two or three hundred years, and are blessed by many music masters and even great artists.
From the perspective of Europe and America, Eastern Asia is just starting out in the field of music and art. In the words of the Vice President of Meilon from the Berlin Conservatory of Music - are there any music artists in Asia
The media are just watching the fun and are afraid that the incident won't be big enough.
Therefore, whenever there is an opportunity to fan the flames, the media will not let it go.
Interviews with many music artists and representatives of top colleges are constantly being released.
"Professor Hoffman of the Curtis Institute said in an interview that Professor Wang Qian is the most talented and powerful music artist he has ever seen, and his future achievements may surpass several music masters in history. This time he started his own journey to becoming a master at the Juilliard School, and all of us are witnesses!"
“Professor Meilon of the Berlin Conservatory of Music: There are no music artists in Asia! Wang Qian is just a beginner and he still has a long way to go.”
"Dennis, a famous New York pianist, said in an interview that he likes every piece of Professor Wang Qian's work very much and that his future is unimaginable. If he can focus all his time and energy on music art, it would be perfect."
"Mr. Rodin from the Paris Conservatory of Music said: Wang Qian has nothing but unparalleled talent! He is just squandering his talent. He is too young now..."
"The vice president of the Oriental Central Conservatory of Music said in an interview: Although Professor Wang Qian has not received systematic music training, he is self-taught and is no worse than those academic geniuses. His talent is far superior, and his future achievements will exceed everyone's imagination..."
"Professor Consens of the Vienna Academy of Europe: Wang Qian does have talent that everyone envies, but it's a pity that he was born in China, an art desert, so he can't become a master-level music artist! If he were to study at the Vienna Academy, which has a profound historical heritage, I guarantee that he would definitely become a master-level music artist..."
…
Europe, North America, East.
There was a collision of different regions and concepts.
but.
After all, they are all artists, well-educated, and people who care about their reputation, so they speak in a more reserved manner, without any bottom-line conflicts like those in the Hollywood entertainment industry.
Wang Qian slept again and didn't wake up until almost noon.
He was really exhausted these two days.
He killed five people in one night last night, and continued to do so twice during the day. He was also intercepted and killed by Qin Xuehong on the plane.
Plus a few hours of flight time.
Wang Qian was exhausted both physically and mentally.
I was glad that no one came to disturb me last night, and Qin Xuerong was also very quiet.
Sleep until you wake up naturally.
When Wang Qian opened his eyes, the curtains could no longer block the sunlight outside, which was slightly dazzling.
Looking at the position of the sun, Wang Qian was slightly surprised.
Is it really almost noon
I have a lecture today!
Wang Qian sat up suddenly, picked up his cell phone and checked the time.
It was indeed already 11:30 a.m. New York time.
Qin Xuerong heard the noise in the bedroom, gently pushed open the door and looked in. Seeing that Wang Qian had already sat up, he pushed the door open and walked in with a worried look on his face: "You have been too tired these two days. Do you want to inform Professor Max to postpone today's lecture to tomorrow?"
Wang Qian thought about it, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not postpone it. It doesn't start until 2pm, so there's still time."
Qin Xuerong: "Then you have no preparation at all. I read those media reports. Now New York has almost all the top music schools and music artists in the world. This class must be very difficult and it won't be as smooth as Professor Max said."
"Last time you were at the Curtis Institute, there weren't so many people there, but there were still so many people trying to make trouble for you. This time, there will definitely be more big-name musicians trying to make things difficult for you. If you don't prepare well, it will be bad if you make a fool of yourself in front of so many people."
Qin Xuerong's eyes were full of worry.
She got up early in the morning and did not disturb Wang Qian. She just sat outside quietly watching the news about Wang Qian. Seeing all the hype in the media, she became extremely worried.
She comes from a distinguished family and has been exposed to the music and art of the Beijing circle since childhood. She also has a deep understanding of the field of music and art, so she clearly knows the tremendous pressure that Wang Qian is facing now.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is fighting against the world single-handedly.
If Wang Qian made a fool of himself in class in front of the music and art community all over the world, coupled with the worldwide live broadcast on TV, it would almost cut off Wang Qian's future path in the field of music and art.
If there is such an opportunity, Qin Xuerong believes that a considerable number of people in the Western media, big-name artists and prestigious universities will definitely take advantage of the situation and make it difficult for Wang Qian to recover.
Therefore, Qin Xuerong hopes that Wang Qian can postpone this class and prepare well.
She knew some domestic news and knew that Wang Qian now represented not only himself, but also the reputation and future of China's music and art field in the international arena.
If Wang Qian makes a fool of himself in this class, his career in music and art will be cut short!
This would not only be a huge blow to Wang Qian, but also a fatal blow to the music art of the entire China and even the entire East Asia.
By then, under the deliberate guidance and propaganda of some European and American media, the fact that Asia is a desert of music and art may be confirmed...
This result is so serious that Qin Xuerong dare not even think about it. She also does not want Wang Qian to bear such tremendous pressure at that time, and he may even become a historical sinner.
Wang Qian got out of bed, poured a cup of hot water and took a big sip. He looked out the window at New York and said softly, "Xue Rong, I'm ready. In fact, those people are the ones who are truly well prepared. No matter how long I prepare, I can never be more prepared than them."
"So, I'll just have to adapt to the situation when the time comes. I've been performing and composing constantly recently, and my understanding of music is deeper than when I last took a class at Curtis. I believe I can handle the gift they have prepared for me."
Wang Qian's tone was very casual, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
Qin Xuehong, who had been sitting quietly in the living room, looked at Wang Qian's back and listened to Wang Qian's words, with a hint of fascination and regret in her eyes.
Why didn't she meet Wang Qian first
She looked at her sister Qin Xuerong who was also somewhat obsessed, and sighed again in her heart, but said: "I believe you can do it!"
Wang Qian then saw Qin Xuehong sitting in the corner of the sofa and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Qin Xuerong came back to her senses, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll order breakfast first. Sophia from the Juilliard School has been waiting downstairs for a while!"
Wang Qian said softly: "Then let her wait a little longer. Let's eat first, and then go to the academy when it's almost time. Otherwise, if we go too early, we will have to attend various social events..."
Perhaps it’s because I was in the entertainment industry in my previous life and had too many social engagements.
Therefore, in this life, Wang Qian really dislikes all kinds of social engagements and tries to avoid them whenever possible.
Qin Xuerong: "Okay, we're not in a hurry. By the way, Aunt He and her team have arrived. Jiang Jiang and Xiao Yue went to pick them up at the airport this morning and are now staying at the hotel. The college has also made arrangements and has given Aunt He and her Chinese representative team a full 100 seats."
“Everyone brought by Aunt He can go to the classroom to give live lectures.”
Wang Qian is quite satisfied with the arrangements at the Juilliard School.
He knew that this was a gift to him. Otherwise, the combined team of Huaxia Central Conservatory of Music and several other music academies would not be qualified to get so many places. At most, they would be given a dozen or twenty places.
After all, the Central Conservatory of Music has a relatively general status internationally, and other Chinese music conservatories have even less status.
There were so many top universities in the world coming this time, and even the Curtis College team only got 50 places...
Qin Xuerong turned and left to order breakfast.
Qin Xuehong couldn't help but throw herself on Wang Qian: "I really wanted to come to you last night. You were so handsome just now."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Thank you!"
I secretly thanked my luck that you didn’t come, otherwise I might not have woken up yet!
Qin Xuehong asked worriedly, "Are you sure?"
Wang Qian nodded and said confidently, "Don't worry."
Qin Xuehong smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you can do it!"
The two of them stayed together for a while, and Qin Xuehong almost ate Wang Qian again. Fortunately, Qin Xuerong came back and asked Qin Xuehong to quickly return to his position and let Wang Qian go.
The three of them had breakfast together.
Finish breakfast.
There was a knock on the door.
Qin Xuerong went to open the door and saw Juliet standing at the door, as well as a tall, thin, elegant, middle-aged handsome man, dressed very elegantly, and his clothes had no nameplates. With Qin Xuerong's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that his clothes were all made by famous craftsmen, so there were no brand letters.
"Hello, I'm Juliet's father. I want to meet Professor Wang Qian. Is that okay?"
The middle-aged man smiled politely at Qin Xuerong and asked.
Juliet stood next to the middle-aged man, feeling a little awkward.
