There were many fans of Wang Qian at the scene, as well as people who loved music and art and were conquered by Wang Qian’s performance just now. They all looked at Max’s performance with a hint of envy in their eyes!
Even Melon, Rodin, Melon, Hans Lawson and other top music artists from Europe who had prejudices against Wang Qian had strange looks in their eyes when they saw this scene.
In just ten minutes, I witnessed Wang Qian writing those notes and then playing them.
They already had a high degree of recognition for Wang Qian in their hearts. Even though they still had some prejudices, they knew rationally that Wang Qian's future achievements would be extraordinary, and there was a high probability that he would become the first and only great musician in the past 100 years.
Any trace left in history by a great artist with such achievements will become a collection of inestimable value.
The Paris Conservatory of Music is called the Museum of Classical Music and Art History by many European and American music artists and music art lovers, and is also considered by many to be the music and art conservatory with the profoundest heritage.
The biggest reason is that several music masters in history have stayed at the Paris Conservatory, either to teach, to study, or to perform temporarily, etc., leaving behind a large number of traces and several handwritten manuscripts. These manuscripts are now historical relics and are called the most precious things in the world by many music artists.
Now the manuscripts of those music masters are displayed in the library of the Paris Conservatory, but ordinary people are not qualified to visit them.
if…
If Wang Qian becomes a figure comparable to those musical masters in the future, the traces he left in several music conservatories will become extremely precious historical relics and will be collected for future generations to admire.
Judging from the market price alone, it is extremely expensive.
The manuscripts of the music masters in the Paris Conservatory, the one with the most words, was once offered tens of millions of dollars, but no one bought it because the Paris Conservatory would never sell it, and they don't need the tens of millions of dollars.
After Max put the blackboards away, he walked back quickly and saw Dawson and Hoffman from Curtis College in the second row, and smiled proudly.
Others might not understand his smile, but Dawson and Hoffman understood what the old man meant at a glance.
Wang Qian’s last lecture at the Curtis Institute was regarded as a bible by professionals in the music field throughout the world. All people who study music watched it repeatedly many times. Wang Qian’s lectures and performances there can be called classics.
It was also Curtis's lecture that established Wang Qian's position in the field of European and American music and art.
But, at the same time!
The handwritten words left by Wang Qian when he was lecturing at Curtis Institute have become something with special significance.
Several top music schools in North America have applied to the Curtis Institute, hoping to get a blackboard with Wang Qian's handwriting, but they were all rejected by the Curtis Institute.
Among them, several top schools in New York that were closest to Curtis also did this. Manhattan, Juilliard, and Eastman School were no exception, but Curtis rejected them all.
Besides, Max had heard the rumors.
Rumor has it that a top collector in New York offered a high price to buy those blackboards from the Curtis Institute, with an average price of $100,000 per piece. In particular, the blackboard with the poem "When You Are Old" was priced at $500,000.
However, Curtis refused and declared that these would not be sold but would only be kept in the library of Curtis Institute. People could look at them, but they could never be taken away by others.
Then news came out that many people were collecting and buying Wang Qian's autograph, and a single autograph was hyped up to a sky-high price of tens of thousands of dollars.
Now, the Juilliard School has also obtained a copy of Wang Qian's handwritten blackboard notes, not lagging behind the Curtis Institute.
If Wang Qian really becomes a musical master in the future, then these handwritten blackboard notes will have special significance and will greatly enhance the historical heritage of the two music schools.
This special and profound artistic heritage is exactly what all art colleges pursue.
The blackboard had been replaced, and Wang Qian continued to write the music score on the blackboard without wasting time.
Everyone who has heard Wang Qian's music can tell at a glance that this is the piano piece, Nocturne in E flat major, which Wang Qian performed at the last world competition, and which has become popular all over the world and has shocking sales.
Everyone stared at Wang Qian's every move very seriously, and at the same time couldn't help but talk in a low voice.
Dawson watched Max sit down with a smug smile, and then whispered to Hoffman and Taylor beside him: "I predict that with Professor Wang Qian's talent, it is inevitable that he will become a great musician. This lecture at the Juilliard School has special significance. If we can collect all the writing traces of Professor Wang Qian's lecture this time and put them together with the handwriting Professor Wang Qian wrote last time in our school, it will have even greater artistic significance."
Hoffman said calmly, "Everyone knows that if all the notes that Danfis left in several European music schools and those lost among the people can be put together, it will become a bible in music history and its value is immeasurable. But who can do it? There is no telling how many notes are scattered among the people."
Taylor was also persuaded: "Yes. Last year I attended a small music art auction in New York. There was a handwritten manuscript of Denfiss, only half a sheet of paper, full of scribbled notes. However, it was bought by a collector for three million US dollars. Some people estimate that there are hundreds of Denfiss manuscripts scattered among the people. If only half a sheet of paper can be sold for three million US dollars, then the others will be even more expensive. The price of buying all these hundreds of manuscripts alone is estimated to be several billion US dollars..."
"The manuscripts collected in several European music academies and famous libraries are even more valuable. Each one is the first draft of a complete piece of music. Their value is simply inestimable. In our opinion, they are all priceless treasures. If auctioned, each one will be worth at least 30 million US dollars!"
Taylor's words made several people from Curtis College smile bitterly.
They all knew that Taylor came from a distinguished family. His family was a well-known behind-the-scenes financial group in North America. Although it was not as powerful as the top ten financial groups, it was still in the second tier.
Even Taylor, who comes from a different background, said he couldn't afford it, which shows how valuable it is.
Danfis is known as the first person in music history and the one who created the golden age of classical music. Each of his works has its own value.
In the eyes of these music artists, even tens of millions of dollars cannot measure the value of the first draft of each work of this music master.
This is a work of art.
To the person who loves it, it is a priceless treasure.
But to those who don’t understand and don’t like collecting, they are just a few pieces of paper that seem like they will disappear with a gust of wind.
Hoffman whispered, "That Mr. Red contacted the college again yesterday."
When Dawson heard the name, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "What does he want to do? He wants to buy Wang Qian's handwriting? We have already sternly refused."
Taylor also frowned slightly when he heard this.
If possible, she would like to buy all the notes Wang Qian wrote in Curtis at a high price and put them at home to enjoy them by herself.
However, she knew the college would not sell it.
Hoffman said softly, "I talked to the principal for a while, and he seemed to be less determined. Mr. Redd has extraordinary energy and offered a bargaining chip that made the principal quite excited. The price was also very high! I heard that he offered a price of one million US dollars for a blackboard."
"He only wants the poem written by Wang Qian as your old blackboard, and nothing else."
"You know, we can compromise a little on the literary stuff..."
Dawson immediately said, "That's impossible! I won't agree to give any of these words to anyone else..."
Hoffman said helplessly, "Then, when this class is over, you should contact the principal as soon as possible and have a good chat."
Taylor tried to whisper: "Professor Dawson, Professor Hoffman. If it can be sold, I am willing to buy it at a higher price. I can also agree to the conditions given by Mr. Reid..."
Dawson and Hoffman both looked at Taylor in slight surprise, and then they understood after thinking about it for a moment.
Given Taylor's background, he is naturally no worse than Red's, and may even be stronger, so he can naturally be purchased at the same price and under the same conditions.
Moreover, Taylor graduated from the Curtis Institute and is a well-known top piano genius in North America. He is known as the best young pianist.
Therefore, if they are too tired to buy it, neither Dawson nor Hoffman would be so resistant.
Academic factions in Europe and the United States are deeply rooted.
Behind North America there are huge factional organizations, and they are alumni associations!
The alumni associations of prestigious universities with a long history and profound heritage have a large number of social elites and wealthy people under their umbrella, and their influence and power are extremely huge.
The alumni associations of several top world-class universities can even influence the world's political and economic landscape. Among them are presidents, senior congressmen, top Wall Street tycoons, technology tycoons, and so on.
Alumni from the same school are our family.
This is their unspoken rule and common sense.
Curtis Institute also has its own alumni association, which is one of the top music and art alumni associations in North America. Among them are a large number of top social figures who have donated to Curtis Institute.
Taylor was born in Curtis, so Dawson and Hoffman naturally considered him one of their own.
If Taylor's offer was right and the school agreed, the two wouldn't be so conflicted.
Anyway, the things are in our own hands, and if the school needs them, we can borrow them back anytime...
On the Chinese delegation side.
A middle-aged professor from the Central Conservatory of Music behind He Chaohui couldn't help but whispered: "These things should be brought back to China. Now they may be cheap to these foreigners. If Professor Wang achieves greater success in the future, they will get more benefits..."
He Chaohui said helplessly: "This is inevitable, it is impossible to take it back. Professor Wang cooperated with them and came here to give a lecture, so this class naturally belongs to the Juilliard School..."
Qin Xuehong whispered, "Can we buy it back at a high price? In New York, isn't there anything that money can't buy?"
Qin Xuerong's eyes lit up: "You can try..."
The two sisters looked at each other and immediately made up their minds that they would go to Professor Max of the Juilliard School after the lecture to try to buy it back at a high price.
Taking back everything Wang Qian wrote here and keeping it for yourself would definitely have special significance.
In the back area.
An area where many celebrities gather.
Reid was among them, and he said to a young woman beside him: "It's a pity that such a good thing has fallen into the hands of the old-fashioned art academy. It's almost impossible to get it out again."
The young woman smiled and said, "Why, is there any artwork that Mr. Reid can't buy? What's more, this is what Wang Qian just wrote, so it can't be considered a work of art, right? As long as you are willing to pay, I believe Juilliard School will definitely sell it."
Red shook his head. "I offered Curtis Institute one million dollars, but I still couldn't buy the blackboard with Wang Qian's poem. I also offered the Chinese singer eight million dollars to buy a copy of Wang Qian's Chinese calligraphy poem, but she refused."
The young woman's eyes widened slightly. "Are his things so valuable? He's only thirty years old."
Reid whispered, "I'm optimistic that he will achieve even more incredible things in the future! You say, if there is a person who surpasses Dan Feisi, plus a person who surpasses Tang Bai, the top calligrapher and painter in Chinese history, and the two are combined in one person. You say, how incredible will the value of this person's work be?"
The young woman's eyes widened. "God, are you sure you are not kidding? How could there be such a person in the world?"
Reid smiled and said, "I am just betting that he can become such a person. Then, the value of his works that I am collecting now will skyrocket after he dies, and may become one of the world's top collections. It will also be a national treasure of China, and the most valuable collection of European and American music and art!"
"How much do you think such a collection is worth?"
The young woman came from another family whose main business was collecting collections. She was very knowledgeable about this. After a quick calculation, she said in surprise, "If that day really comes, then an original copy of his calligraphy, painting, and manuscript will be worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars. In a few hundred years, it will become a priceless treasure. It will be more valuable than the original Gao Fei that was auctioned in Europe last month."
Last month, an authentic work of Gao Fei was sold in Europe for 270 million US dollars, setting a world record for the highest auction price for calligraphy and painting.
The young woman compared Wang Qian's work with Gao Fei's original work, which is worth $270 million, which shows how high its valuation is!
However, she said softly: "The premise is that he can really become the person you said. But, Uncle Red, I think you may not see that day."
Red smiled again and said, "I may not be able to see it, but you will definitely see it. Tomorrow, I will go to China. Aisha, do you want to go?"
The young woman Aisha asked in confusion: "What are you going to do? Is it related to Wang Qian?"
Red nodded and said seriously, "Of course. I contacted a person in China who has an authentic work of Wang Qian. It was an authentic work that Wang Qian had given away in a lottery online. He wants to sell it, but the price is too high. I will go over to discuss it in person... As far as I know, there are two works of Wang Qian in China."
"Niece Elsa, I suggest you buy one and keep it in your collection. Perhaps it will become the most classic masterpiece in your collection in the future."
"Originally, I wanted to keep these two works for myself. However, considering the long-term friendship between your father and I, I can give you one. If you are willing to take it..."
Elsa was stunned for a moment, then began to think.
She had just started to get involved in the family business and was a little unsure, so she asked, "Uncle Red, the price you mentioned is too high. You need to negotiate in person. So, how high is the price?"
Red whispered, "Three million dollars!"
After hearing this, Elsa was a little confused. She was not confused about the high price. She asked, "Didn't you just offer $8 million to buy another original painting by Wang Qian? Why do you think $3 million for this work is too high?"
Reid scanned the crowd ahead and found Liu Shengnan's back not far away. He whispered, "Because the work collected by the Chinese female singer is the only authentic manuscript of a Chinese poem written by Wang Qian. It is also a poem written by Wang Qian before he went abroad to Los Angeles. It represents his expectations and attitude at the time. It is absolutely of extraordinary significance."
"If you are Chinese, you will absolutely love this piece of music."
"So, I offered $8 million for this work, and she didn't sell it. I'll try again next time and see if I can buy it for $10 million!"
"If Wang Qian really becomes what I expected, then the value of this most representative calligraphy work will be immeasurable. A few hundred years later, its value will even exceed that of the national treasure-level painting "Landscapes of Mountains and Rivers" currently collected in the Huaxia Museum!"
Elsa took a deep breath when she heard this.
She was really shocked this time.
The most precious treasure in the China Museum, the "Map of Mountains and Rivers", is extremely famous and is valued at US$500 million in the international art market!
Because someone really offered $500 million to buy it, but no one had the ability to take it out of the China Museum.
It is one of the works with the highest market value among all calligraphy and painting artworks in the world!
Now, Reid compares the work of a young artist who is only thirty years old with that national treasure-level calligraphy and painting
A moment.
Elsa was also moved, she believed in Red's judgment.
Reid has had almost no failed operations in his decades of experience in the industry.
Moreover, the relationship between the two families has always been good, and she believes that Red will not cheat her.
Elsa asked again: "Uncle Red, are those two folk works replicas?"
Lei De nodded: "Yes, those two works are just two calligraphy works given by Wang Qian. They are also ancient poems that Wang Qian had already published at that time. They are not the first drafts of ancient poems, and they have no time representative significance. They are just gifts for fans."
"In China, a collector offered a price of three million Chinese Yuan, but they didn't buy it."
"I think if we offer one to two million dollars, we can definitely get it."
Elsa was silent and didn't say anything!
Use one or two million dollars to buy a work that is not a representative work by a Chinese artist who is only 30 years old.
If word of this behavior gets out, everyone who knows the business will think they are crazy.
Among all the calligraphy and painting artists still alive in the world, the highest selling price is two million US dollars, which is the representative work of a top calligraphy and painting artist who is almost gone.
However, Wang Qian is not considered a top-notch calligraphy and painting artist, and the two works they purchased are far from being Wang Qian’s representative works!
This price!
A bit outrageous!
certainly.
Elsa thought that the price of eight million dollars that Red offered for that masterpiece was outrageous.
but.
Elsa stared at Wang Qian and had to agree in her heart.
This young music artist from China, with extraordinary temperament, really conquered her with his music.
She has loved music and art since she was a child, but she has no talent for learning it. However, she has listened to concerts by almost all the world's top music performers, and her appreciation ability is among the best in the world, and her vision is naturally the highest. There are not many music artists in the world who can be recognized by her.
Therefore, she was able to hear and see that Wang Qian's achievements in the field of music and art are definitely not limited to the present, and he will definitely reach a higher position in the future.
Unless there are any unexpected events, the first musical master in a century will appear in China.
So!
Can I invest now
Elsa stared at Wang Qian, and her heart began to stir.
At this time, Wang Qian filled the blackboard again, turned around and looked at everyone.
The thousands of people at the scene once again focused their attention on Wang Qian, and the noise suddenly died down a lot.
After the wonderful and heart-stirring performance just now.
Now no one will underestimate Wang Qian anymore, and no one wants to miss any details of Wang Qian's class.
