The people in the TV program crew were so excited that they almost jumped up!
Only Diana, who came from the world competition program team, was relatively calm, while everyone else was grinning from ear to ear.
"The global audience has exceeded 1.5 billion people, my God. I always thought that the World Championship production team was exaggerating, but now it seems that it may be true."
"That's right. It's only been a short while since the show started, and there are already 1.5 billion people watching. In the more exciting moments that follow, there may really be 20 to 30 billion people watching? God, am I dreaming?"
"To be honest, I can't take my eyes off the TV screen. I really want to know what will happen next. I really want to know right away whether Wang Qian can do what he said..."
"So, this is why the global audience exploded! It was too suspenseful..."
Several people from the program crew were discussing the matter.
Diana frowned slightly, still looking at Wang Qian on the TV screen with worry. She came from an extraordinary family, so she knew that what Wang Qian said was so difficult that it would almost stump God.
Who can master all the instruments
Who can play a piece of music he or she composed using all the instruments
The other party said that if it is an instrumental piece, then it must be a piece of music that belongs to and is suitable for this instrument.
You can't use a saxophone to play piano music. That would be just a shortcut and would be meaningless.
From Wang Qian's perspective, using saxophone to play his own piano music would be a slap in the face.
Diana had only heard the saxophone played a few times in her life.
Not to mention…
There are also two instruments whose names I have no idea what they are.
God knows which two instruments will be chosen with so many people raising their hands in the audience
Diana couldn't help but want to leave her post and go to the audience to raise her hand. If she was selected by Wang Qian, she would directly ask Wang Qian to play the guitar, which would be considered as helping Wang Qian.
pity…
She knew she couldn't leave.
Besides, there would be no place for her there.
The auditorium was packed, and there was no extra seat for her. If she stood there, it would be too awkward.
so.
She could only sit here and watch everything happening on TV.
The feeling of being unable to help Wang Qian made her feel helpless and annoyed.
…
Far away in Los Angeles.
At this moment, everyone in the world game program team has not left. They are still in the conference room, staring at Wang Qian on the TV screen and the live scenes. At the same time, they can also receive real-time data from the TV station's live program team!
"Is this true? In just a short period of time, the number of viewers has skyrocketed to 1.5 billion?"
"To be honest, Wang Qian is really good at creating suspense and creating gimmicks on the spot. The way he brags and makes bets with those two people is really attractive. Anyway, I really want to know what will happen next."
"I suspect this may have been rehearsed in advance by Wang Qian and the Juilliard School. The two people who stood up to ask questions must have been hired by them..."
"That's very possible. After all, what Wang Qian said is really impossible. If the three instruments were not arranged in advance and were really randomly drawn, I think even God couldn't do it. Who knows which three instruments they would be? He can't really play all the instruments."
"Even if it was planned in advance, the audience would definitely enjoy watching this kind of conflicting live broadcast."
"Well, one thing is for sure, after this incident, there is no need to worry about the subsequent ratings, they will definitely not be low."
"Yes, the audience will definitely keep looking forward to it and watching it."
Zhou Qinghua listened to their discussion and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Everyone, don't forget. In our previous world competitions, many people also said that we arranged the schedule, and also said that Wang Qian's performance was communicated to others in advance by us... There are many such statements."
"But I think each of you is very clear about the truth, right?"
Zhou Qinghua's words quieted the scene.
Those who had spoken just now were all a little embarrassed and glared at Zhou Qinghua unkindly.
The North American representative stared at Zhou Qinghua and asked, "Zhou, you don't really think that Wang Qian is bragging? You don't really think that he can play all the instruments? You don't really think that he randomly picked audience members from among hundreds or thousands of people to ask questions, right?"
Several questions from the North American representatives left Zhou Qinghua silent.
To be honest, Zhou Qinghua had no idea.
Because, for one person to be able to play all instruments, except for the mainstream ones, is basically impossible.
Therefore, the probability of making arrangements in advance is very high.
Moreover, he was a variety show director and has hosted many domestic variety shows. He knows very well that all TV programs are scripted.
Whether it is live or recorded, whether it is shot indoors or randomly shot on the street, all have set scripts. There is no such thing as real random performance. It is a variety show where everything is left to fate.
certainly…
Such inherent ideas do not hold true in this year's China Voice and the World Championships!
Because Zhou Qinghua knows very clearly that no matter whether it is the domestic China Voice or the Voice World Competition, the program team has almost no intervention in the contestants and the program process. Everything is really left to the contestants to play freely and the results are completely random!
so!
Zhou Qinghua was somewhat conflicted and entangled at this moment.
So, when faced with questions from the North American copyright representative, he could only remain silent.
He couldn't be sure that Wang Qian didn't have a script, because what Wang Qian said was impossible.
He couldn't deny Wang Qian in public, as that would be a slap in his own face. At the same time, his national stance also prevented him from saying such a thing.
The North American copyright representative smiled triumphantly and said calmly, "There is no such person, but we need to create such a performance, so the only way is to fake it. It seems that Wang Qian has fallen after leaving our stage."
"Once a person has fallen, he will have shortcomings, and we will not be afraid of him. Mr. O'Neill, I think after his class is over, we can continue to try to contact him and invite him, but of course the conditions must be lowered. I think he might agree..."
After hearing this, the other people nodded, indicating that they agreed with what the North American copyright representative said.
In their eyes, Wang Qian before was invincible.
Because they couldn't find any flaws in Wang Qian.
The program crew has zero control over Wang Qian.
Because Wang Qian does not rely on the program team to allocate resources to him, and does not need the program team to recommend him for promotion. Everything depends on himself.
Moreover, in Los Angeles, the world's entertainment capital, Wang Qian was able to run back and forth between the hotel, recording studio and performance venue, and completely ignore the outside world.
Such existence...
This really left them with no idea where to start. If they wanted to continue cooperating with Wang Qian, they could only keep improving the conditions, but they still could not meet Wang Qian's requirements, so they really had no other choice.
And now.
They believed that Wang Qian had started to cheat.
Well, this is the beginning of degeneration. Once corrupted, this person will be easily breached and controlled by these old foxes in the entertainment industry from all over the world.
Several European and American representatives began to look at Wang Qian with obvious contempt.
Oni did not participate in the discussion. Although he was nominally the head of the program team, he was actually the one with the least power because he was not the copyright representative of any party. He was just an invited professional manager and naturally did not want to offend any copyright shareholder.
However, Oni was looking at the message on his phone. He looked up and said calmly, "In fact, although the ratings are very high, no one believes what Wang Qian said is true. Everyone thinks he is bragging..."
When others heard this, they also opened their phones to check the public opinions on the world's major social platforms.
On Facebook, Twitter, and Feiyue, the most popular short video social platform, almost all the comments are questioning Wang Qian.
"Can someone play all the instruments? Even God can't say that, really."
"Wang Qian's talent is the strongest I have ever seen in the history of music. He has mastered and played five or six instruments, and his performance of each instrument can be said to be at the master level. If he had enough time to study these instruments, I think he could really do it. After all, he is only thirty years old, and he has only studied music for a few years. He still has most of his life to study all instruments. But that is in the future, not now. He definitely can't do this now..."
“Even if the five great music masters in music history were combined, they wouldn’t dare to say they could do this. It’s absolutely impossible.”
"Saxophone? To be honest, this instrument is relatively unpopular. I have never heard of it. I have never seen Wang Qian play it. Moreover, he wants to play all his own saxophone music, which is actually very difficult."
"Wow, I really wish I was there, I would definitely raise my hand, I want him to play the instrument from my hometown, I don't believe he can even play the instrument from my hometown."
"This class looks like a suspense drama. It's so good. Let's get on with it..."
"You big boaster, please go back to China..."
…
There is almost no support for Wang Qian on several major European and American social platforms.
Even though Wang Qian's pop music continues to break historical sales records in Europe and the United States, almost everyone has heard Wang Qian's works.
However, most of them are not criticizing the person but the issue. They simply like Wang Qian's works, not the singer.
If Wang Qian gets into trouble someday, most of them will take pleasure in his misfortune and add insult to injury.
…
In China, where Wang Qian has the largest number of fans, people are now also worried about him.
"Professor Wang is so awesome? He can play all the instruments? Is he the reincarnation of the god of musical instruments? Otherwise, this is impossible."
"Is Professor Wang provoked? Otherwise, how could this happen?"
"Professor Wang, please keep a low profile."
"What instrument is saxophone? Does Professor Wang know how to play it?"
"I knew that Wang Qian's boasting would cause trouble later. Now he is here. Not only do I have to play the instrument proposed by the other party, but I also have to play my own music. The difficulty is beyond the Milky Way. It is simply impossible."
"Come on, Professor Wang. Don't get sniped by them. Those devils are waiting for you to get into trouble."
"Professor Wang, why don't you stop being involved in the classical music circle and come back to play rock music. We will always support you."
"Professor Wang, there are so many bad guys outside, come back."
…
Although many Chinese fans do not quite believe that Wang Qian can do this, they are full of concern and tolerance for Wang Qian.
…
The Juilliard School, inside the auditorium.
The lecture scene.
Wang Qian looked at the thousands of hands raised at the scene, including almost all the faces he knew.
Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, He Chaohui and all the other members of the Chinese delegation, as well as Sophie, Jennifer, Liu Shengnan, Chen Xiaowen, Ru Ke, Xiao Dongmei, Yu Jingruo, Li Qingyao, Wang Jingyu, Cui Wenfeng, Kristen, Green and other familiar faces, all flashed!
They all raised their hands high, hoping to be chosen by Wang Qian to set questions, and then they would definitely be on Wang Qian's side.
Even many art masters in the front and middle rows raised their hands, but their expressions were rather calm, not as excited and impatient as the many young people behind them.
Of course, Max and several senior executives from the Juilliard School, as well as Dawson, Hoffman, and Taylor from the Curtis School, all raised their hands with nervous expressions. They all hoped very much to be chosen by Wang Qian to give Wang Qian questions, and of course they also hoped to get through this class safely.
In the eyes of many other people, Wang Qian saw a lot of gloating, as well as a strong desire and longing to show off.
Wang Qian did not choose anyone right away. Instead, he picked up the chalk and wrote the name of the instrument, saxophone, on the corner of the blackboard. Then he looked at everyone and said confidently, "To be honest, saxophone is a musical instrument that I like. It just so happens that I have some insights in my heart recently. I will use the saxophone to play these insights for everyone later."
"As for the remaining two instruments, I won't let you choose now. My course schedule is like this. Today I will mainly talk about the piano. I promised you to set the questions, so I also hope that you can cooperate with my teaching schedule..."
"I will first teach on the piano for 40 minutes, and then I will play a saxophone piece as requested by this gentleman. Of course, it will be my own saxophone piece."
"After playing the saxophone piece, I will randomly pick a stranger in the audience to come up with a second instrument, and after I continue to talk about the piano for 40 minutes, I will play this instrument again, and I will still use my own music. Of course, I don't know what instrument it is now, but no matter what instrument it is, I will use my own music, even if I'm improvising on the spot, I will stick to my principles."
"After I finish teaching piano for another forty minutes, I will randomly select the last audience member to choose a third instrument as the closing performance of this class."
"So, does anyone have any problem with my arrangement?"
The scene was quiet for a moment.
The expressions of many audience members who raised their hands in excitement suddenly froze.
Many people wanted to speak out loudly and raise their doubts about Wang Qian's words.
but.
Wang Qian immediately continued, "I said, I agree to your request. Then, you must also respect my lecture schedule. If you have any questions, please keep them."
"Of course, if you don't keep your doubts to yourself and insist on interrupting my lecture by asking questions."
"Well, all I can say is that I'm sorry, but you're not a good fit for my class."
"Either you leave or I leave!"
Listening to Wang Qian's words, many people at the scene frowned deeply, looking very dissatisfied and conflicted.
Most music artists and top celebrities and wealthy people still subconsciously believe that Wang Qian should meet all their demands and questions and have no right to resist.
Either you leave with glory and many halos, or you fall into disgrace and abyss.
However, now Wang Qian has arranged the process in a forceful manner.
Many of them are unhappy about this.
They believed that Wang Qian was not qualified to make arrangements for all of them.
but…
Wang Qian had spoken so strongly that they were a little timid for a moment, fearing that it would become embarrassing and make themselves look like clowns.
After all, the vast majority of the audience at the scene, as well as many viewers in front of the TV, absolutely do not want Wang Qian to leave. They also want to see what Wang Qian can do next.
so!
They were all scared for a moment.
Wang Qian looked serious and solemn, and said calmly: "Okay, it seems that everyone understands what I mean."
on site!
All those who raised their hands slowly put them down, apparently passively accepting Wang Qian's arrangement.
However, many people who had been planning for a long time and deliberately trying to make things difficult for Wang Qian were very dissatisfied. Before they even started to make trouble, they fell into Wang Qian's rhythm.
Everyone in the Chinese delegation, as well as all those who supported Wang Qian from the Juilliard School and the Curtis Institute, breathed a sigh of relief and were impressed.
They didn't expect that Wang Qian could overpower these famous music artists from all over the world, as well as top celebrities and wealthy people at the scene.
This aura and courage.
There is really no one like it.
The scene returned to silence, with every pair of eyes staring at Wang Qian seriously and expectantly, and many also staring at him jokingly.
Wang Qian officially began his lecture, turned around and began to write a line of titles on the blackboard, followed by notes...
All the music artists at the scene, as well as knowledgeable pop music professionals, frowned deeply!
because!
They all realized immediately that the nocturne written by Wang Qian was not the same one that was performed at the last World Championship.
so!
Everyone couldn't help but have questions and expectations in their hearts.
Wang Qian, what are we going to talk about in today's class
People like Hans Lawson and the middle-aged man who brought up the saxophone looked dazed and expectant. Their minds were no longer on what Wang Qian was explaining, but they couldn't wait to fast forward to forty minutes later to see how Wang Qian would play his own music live on the saxophone!
