The whole audience stood up instantly.
However, the figures who stood up were all in the middle and back rows, and no one stood up in the front row.
Those great artists and top celebrities and wealthy people will not stand up and be the first to speak out so easily, as that would make them appear to be uncultured.
The words of this middle-aged man also made the discussion in the audience more intense.
"Proof? How can I prove this?"
"It's just big talk, how do you prove it?"
"He probably said that on purpose."
"He doesn't understand music at all. What does that prove?"
"I really want to leave now. I don't want to stay here any longer. Listening to him speak is an insult to me."
…
Many people were extremely angry because of Wang Qian’s words. If they were not concerned about the reputation of the Juilliard School and many art masters, many people would have wanted to leave.
Wang Qian looked at the middle-aged man who was speaking, then glanced at the hundreds of other people who had stood up, waved his hand and said, "If you want to ask questions, come one by one. Don't worry, I will give you a chance to express your demands."
Everyone saw that Wang Qian still seemed very calm and composed at this time, and they were all a little confused and puzzled.
Only a few people like Sophie and Taylor, Jiang Yu, Juliet, Chen Xiaowen, Liu Shengnan, etc. who absolutely admire and trust Wang Qian have full belief and expectation on their faces, looking forward to how Wang Qian will make these people shut up.
Sophie also said to her father Ma Long: "I believe Professor Wang Qian is telling the truth. I have talked with him about music several times, and I have gained a lot every time. It seems that he understands the essence of all music. He can solve my doubts in just one sentence and make me understand the essence of music better."
"It's like he's standing at a very high place, looking down and being able to see all the scenery."
Sophie's words made Ma Long, who had a calm expression, change color slightly.
He knew that Sophie was not a liar, and he also knew that Sophie's understanding and comprehension of music were at a historical level, and her talent and understanding were even better than his.
So, if Sophie said this, then it means it is true.
Ma Long did not say anything, but just glanced at several other world-class music masters. Seeing that they all had serious and unhappy expressions, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Then, Malone whispered to Sophie, "This kind of conceptual thing cannot be proven. Unless he can convince everyone present..."
"But do you think this is possible?"
After hearing what her father said, Sophie frowned slightly and looked at Wang Qian with a little worry.
indeed.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that there is no second in martial arts and no first in literature.
The field of art is naturally a branch of culture.
How could such a metaphysical cultural concept be accepted and convinced by everyone
Even if you conquer the whole world, there is nothing you can do if people just don't recognize you.
After all, music art cannot be quantified, nor does it exist objectively; it is extremely subjective.
It is not like a scientific theorem, where what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. There is no ambiguity, and no one can deny a correct scientific theorem.
On the podium, Wang Qian looked at the middle-aged man who asked the question and continued, "Then how do you want me to prove it? In other words, what do you want me to do now?"
The middle-aged man was wearing a well-tailored suit, his hair was neatly combed and shiny, and he also had a musical and artistic aura. He looked at Wang Qian and said loudly: "You said that you have mastered the main trunk of musical art, and those branches seem simple and easy to you. Can I understand that you have mastered the playing skills of all musical instruments?"
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the scene was in an uproar again.
Many people stared at the middle-aged man standing there with wide eyes.
"Mastering all the instruments? How is that possible? Not even God can do it."
"Indeed, this is impossible. There are at least dozens of mainstream musical instruments in the world."
"There are also some unpopular instruments that I haven't heard of. Even though I've studied music for more than 30 years, there are still many instruments that I haven't seen or heard of."
"Hahaha, let's see how Wang Qian responds. This is embarrassing, right?"
"Boasting comes at a price..."
…
Many great artists in the front row were staring at Wang Qian, and many of them had a hint of sneer on their faces.
Ru Meilong looked at Wang Qian as if he was watching a clown performing, and murmured to himself in a low voice: "If I had known earlier, I would not have come to New York and wasted two days of my time."
Max and other senior executives of the Juilliard School frowned helplessly.
Wang Qian on the podium did not hesitate. He looked at the other party and said affirmatively: "It's too much to say that you can play all the instruments. I am not a professional music student. I have never seen or heard of many unpopular instruments. How can I play them?"
The middle-aged man had a victorious smile on his face and was about to continue speaking.
Wang Qian did not pause and continued: "But I can basically play all the mainstream instruments that I have come into contact with and seen. I can also play some unpopular instruments that I have seen and come into contact with."
The discussions at the scene suddenly fell silent.
In an instant, the buzz of discussion turned into a sound where you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stared at Wang Qian with wide eyes, and many of them frowned.
The middle-aged man was also shocked when he heard Wang Qian's words, and then he sneered and said, "You mean, you can play all the mainstream instruments?"
Wang Qian nodded and said confidently: "Of course, I just said that!"
Middle-aged man: "Piano, violin, cello, harp, saxophone, trumpet, flute... You can play all of these?"
As expected of a man born in the field of music and art, the middle-aged man mentioned instruments that were only used in classical music. He did not mention any instruments such as guitars and jazz drums used in pop music.
Moreover, Wang Qian has demonstrated historical-level bass playing skills on the world stage, and bass and guitar are almost universal, so a historical-level bassist can be said to be a historical-level guitarist.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Qian, and many people were very nervous.
Even Meilon, who had been somewhat disdainful of Wang Qian just now, felt inexplicably nervous at this moment, looking forward to Wang Qian's answer.
Max and other people from Juilliard School clenched their hands tightly, not knowing what would happen next and what the fate of Juilliard School would be.
Under everyone's gaze, Wang Qian thought for a few seconds, then looked at the other party and said, "I do know all of what you said. When I first became interested in musical instruments, I practiced these instruments casually and was able to play them well. In fact, I know more than you said."
Wow…
The scene was in uproar again.
No one expected it.
Wang Qian actually said that he really knows all of them
And, he knows more than that
Everyone stared at Wang Qian in disbelief.
Whether it is Meilon and other European and American music artists who boycotted and disdained Wang Qian.
Or people like Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Sophie, Taylor and others who trust and care about Wang Qian.
After hearing Wang Qian's answer, everyone was a little bit unbelievable.
I can’t believe that Wang Qian actually knows how to play so many mainstream European and American musical instruments
Even Jiang Yu, Juliet, Murong Yue and others who believed that Wang Qian was the God of Music only believed that Wang Qian understood the music theory of these instruments, but never believed that Wang Qian really could play all the instruments.
After all, that is impossible.
It's really something that even God can't do.
How can people do that
The middle-aged man standing there alone had a red face, his eyes fixed on Wang Qian, and the artistic aura on his body disappeared without a trace. He was like a gambler at the gambling table, almost shouting, "Impossible, that's impossible, you are lying, you are bragging."
Wang Qian smiled calmly, facing all the incredulous and questioning eyes in the audience, he looked at the other party calmly and said, "I can't help it if you don't believe me."
The middle-aged man continued to shout: "You have to be able to play all these instruments on the spot, otherwise you are just lying and bragging, you are not worthy of standing there to give a lecture."
Wang Qian still kept smiling and said, "That's impossible. There's not that much time. But since I've said it, I have to take responsibility. So, I can give you and others a chance!"
"Today, I can play three instruments besides the piano!"
When the middle-aged man wanted to speak.
Wang Qian continued, "You can choose any three instruments. You can choose from the ones you just mentioned, or some less popular ones. I will play them for you..."
The middle-aged man opened his mouth and suddenly felt like a clown.
He wanted Wang Qian to play all the instruments to prove that he was not bragging or lying, but he also knew that was impossible.
On-site time does not permit.
Moreover, with so many instruments and so much performance, no one can withstand such high-intensity continuous performance.
So, he was silent for a few seconds.
Everyone else at the scene continued to stare at Wang Qian with wide eyes.
Everyone felt that what Wang Qian said was a bit exaggerated.
Three instruments besides the piano.
You should know...
The musical instruments the middle-aged man mentioned did not include several Chinese instruments. Except for the violin, almost all the others were ones that Wang Qian had never played before.
Not to mention, Wang Qian also said that it is not limited to those already mentioned, and you can also choose other less popular instruments that have not been mentioned
this…
The scope is huge.
Many people couldn't help but gasp!
feel.
Wang Qian is exaggerating too much.
A bad one.
It just flipped over.
after all.
Who would dare to do such a thing in front of the whole world
If you fail later, you will end up in disgrace.
At this scene and in front of TVs all over the world, there are countless people waiting for Wang Qian to get into trouble so that they can add insult to injury.
Wang Qian saw that the scene was very quiet and the middle-aged man was silent. He tapped the table with his fingers and said calmly, "Have you made up your mind? You can choose any one. Later, I will randomly select audience members from the audience! Everyone can choose one."
The breathing at the scene became rapid.
Many people couldn't help but raise their hands, wanting to get involved.
Most people wanted to deliberately create a difficult problem to embarrass Wang Qian.
A small part of them just wanted to give Wang Qian a simple task that he could complete.
The middle-aged man who was still standing stared at Wang Qian and said seriously: "Okay! Then I will choose saxophone. I hope you can play a saxophone song on the spot!"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Qian, trying to see his expression and inner thoughts, wanting to know whether Wang Qian was capable of it or not, or whether he felt guilty.
Wang Qian said calmly, "Okay, you can sit down now. I will first talk about the main theme of this class, which is the piece I played last time in Los Angeles, and then I will play a saxophone piece."
The middle-aged man nodded. Although he was impatient for Wang Qian to fulfill his promise right away, he also knew that Wang Qian was the lecturer and it was already very rude of him to interrupt him. Wang Qian had already agreed to his excessive request. If he interrupted Wang Qian's teaching plan again, it would be really inhumane.
So, the middle-aged man wanted to sit down.
but!
Just as he was about to sit down, he said loudly, "Oh, I remember you said that you never play other people's songs and never will. So, do you also do this when you play the saxophone?"
hiss!
There were some inhalation sounds at the scene.
The temperature of the thousands of people gathered at the scene dropped significantly, effectively curbing the greenhouse effect.
However, everyone couldn't help but feel shocked.
Thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at the middle-aged man, and many of those who boycotted Wang Qian couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and praise him loudly - Well done!
You have to play three other musical instruments, and you can't play other people's works, you can only play your own works!
This difficulty...
It's so beautiful that even God would cover his face and walk away.
Many people who care about Wang Qian have worried expressions on their faces. No matter how much they admire and believe in Wang Qian, they have to admit at this moment that even God cannot do such a thing.
This is so embarrassing.
Qin Xuerong wanted to go on stage and pull Wang Qian away immediately, away from this unfriendly place.
Wang Qian also leaned against the desk, tapped his fingers on the desk lightly, stared at the other party, and said in a calm tone: "Of course, I can do what I said."
The middle-aged man smiled widely, as if he was sure of success, and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to your performance. By the way, several saxophone masters I know are here, and I think they will definitely give you a very impressive evaluation."
Wang Qian glanced at the front and middle rows, but didn't see that they were saxophone masters. He just nodded and said, "Thank you..."
The middle-aged man sat down.
The scene exploded again and the volume of discussion soared.
“No one can do this.”
"He doesn't really think he's the God of music, does he?"
"Hahaha, I just want to see a good show now."
"I raised my hand, please call me, I also want him to play an instrument..."
"Call me, call me..."
“This class is really wonderful, hahahaha…”
…
The atmosphere at the scene exploded instantly, and thousands of hands were raised high, wanting to give Wang Qian the instrument he designated to play, many of them flashing dangerous eyes.
At this moment, the audience watching in front of the TV were also excited.
The ratings data has increased wildly again...
