He Chaohui came back a day late because he attended a follow-up party at the Juilliard School and discussed with the senior management of the Juilliard School about the specific matters regarding the establishment of the Chinese Folk Music Department at the school!
certainly…
The specific details will take more time to discuss.
It’s just because Wang Qian’s lecture at the Central Conservatory of Music is about to begin.
Therefore, He Chaohui had to rush back with the Central Conservatory of Music and other delegations from the Chinese folk music department to make final preparations for this first large-scale Chinese classical music class facing the world.
As soon as she got off the plane, He Chaohui rushed to school and called Wang Qian on the way.
When Wang Qian saw He Chaohui's name, he didn't refuse the call and answered it.
He Chaohui smiled apologetically and said, "Professor Wang, I hope I didn't disturb your rest. Congratulations on the successful completion of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I heard that your novel is the most exciting, artistically valuable, and technically valuable novel in the past hundred years. Perhaps, in the near future, the Four Great Classics will be changed to the Five Great Classics."
He Chaohui also checked the message on his mobile phone and saw that Wang Qian's Romance of the Three Kingdoms was completed, so he called immediately, knowing that he would not disturb Wang Qian from writing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms now.
Although in New York, He Chaohui always paid attention to the news about Wang Qian in China and the Beijing circle. She naturally knew what Wang Qian was busy with after returning to China, and she admired Wang Qian even more.
She is from the music circle and knows that Wang Qian’s achievements in music and art are already catching up with the top five in history. However, this master of music and art has continued to make great strides in literature after returning to China, and is making an effort to become the number one figure in domestic literature!
Of course, in her opinion,
It was hard for her not to admire him.
And what she said was not purely a compliment.
When she was chatting on the phone with several acquaintances in the Beijing circle, she heard compliments from those bigwigs in the cultural circle about the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Several people have called this book the most exciting and valuable novel after Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it is on par with the four great classics.
The most recent of the four great classics was also completed two hundred years ago.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Wang Qian's Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the pinnacle work in the field of novels in the past hundred years.
As time goes by, it is not impossible that the literary circle will truly put Romance of the Three Kingdoms on a par with the Four Great Classics to form the new Five Great Classics of China.
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Director He, you are too kind. It's just a hobby of mine. I have stopped doing it for more than two months. After I came back, I just finished it in one go. I was afraid that I would forget it after a long time."
call…
He Chaohui took a deep breath and almost gasped, then smiled bitterly: "Professor Wang's words are as discouraging as always. If this is just a hobby, then we don't need to live."
Two months of interruption is a long time, okay? To be able to pick up the work and connect it seamlessly after a two-month break is something that no one has ever done in the past 100 years of literary history.
In response, Wang Qian could only smile: "Haha, it just comes out smoothly."
He Chaohui calmed down and got down to business: "By the way, Professor Wang. Starting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, some European and American colleges and musicians who have reserved seats for lectures will arrive one after another. The Liang Zhu performance group we selected from all over the country is also ready. Do you think you can come over in advance to check it out? Give us some suggestions?"
Wang Qian knew this was the case, so he responded, "Yeah, I thought so too. I'll go to Beijing the day after tomorrow to see how your rehearsal is going."
He Chaohui smiled and said, "That's great. This is really important to us, so thank you for troubling us, Professor Wang."
Wang Qian: “This is what I should do.”
He Chaohui: "I heard that Professor Wang, you have accepted the invitations to give lectures at two prestigious universities, Beijing University and Shuimu University?"
Wang Qian: "Yes, that's right. They invited me again and again with great sincerity. I happened to be going to Beijing this time, so it was difficult to refuse, so I agreed."
He Chaohui said carefully, "Well, they really want you to give a lecture. However, Professor Wang, I know some news. Recently, many masters of Chinese culture from the north and south and overseas have been gathering in Beijing, and they may all go to listen to your lectures. Among them, some may be dissatisfied with you or have doubts about you, so you should be mentally prepared in advance."
Wang Qian's eyebrows twitched: "Haha, I know. I encountered this when I was teaching at Zhejiang University and Shuangxing."
He Chaohui once again said solemnly: "The people you met then may not be of the same level as the ones you met in Beijing this time. The people gathered in Beijing this time are real masters of Chinese studies. Among them are Lin Xizhan, the southern cultural leader from Hong Kong Island, Li Zhenghua, the master of Chinese studies from Southeast Asia, Kong Wenxi, the master of Chinese studies from Taiwan, and several cultural masters from the southwest, northwest, and northern Beijing circles in China. Jia Fuqing, Zhu Qingzhuo, Zhou Bingwen, and Han Zhao are all confirmed to be present..."
"I also heard that two of the three great literary masters of the island country are here, and the number one scholar of Korean studies is also here."
"Many descendants of Chinese descent in Europe and America who have been passed down for hundreds of years will also come to listen to your lectures."
"This time, you have stirred up a storm of Chinese culture in the Beijing circle! Many people hope to stop your success..."
He Chaohui told Wang Qian all the information he knew.
Wang Qian was also slightly surprised after hearing this.
He didn't know any of these names.
However, he knew that those titles were of great value, and it was no exaggeration to say that they were what he needed to look up to.
But in the world he lived in in his previous life, he didn't even have the qualifications to know these people.
All of them are national treasures, and in this era of rapid information explosion, these masters of Chinese studies are more precious than giant pandas. It is true that if one passes away, there will be one less, and there may be no successors.
It is possible that once all the masters of Chinese studies of this generation pass away, it will be difficult to find new masters of Chinese studies to succeed them...
Few people are willing to learn this kind of traditional Chinese culture, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive but cannot make a lot of money in a short period of time.
Therefore, their generation of masters of Chinese studies may be the last generation of masters of Chinese studies!
It is truly a super rare existence.
Wang Qian was silent for a few seconds, feeling a lot of pressure in his heart.
After all, these masters, without exception, have a family background in Chinese studies and have studied Chinese classics for decades, and they have profound background.
Even if he lived two lives, he did not live as long as any other master of Chinese studies, and naturally the time he spent studying Chinese studies was far less than others.
Any master of Chinese studies may find it difficult to step down if he deliberately makes things difficult.
Beijing circle!
It truly is the center of the Chinese cultural circle.
He gave lectures several times in West Lake City and several times in the international metropolis of Shanghai, but failed to attract such a national treasure.
However, when he was about to go to Beijing to give lectures, he immediately attracted so many master-level figures.
He knew roughly.
In the eyes of these masters of Chinese studies, his trip to Beijing to give lectures was to truly and publicly preach in the field of Chinese studies culture, so that he could truly become a master in the field of Chinese studies and be on an equal footing with them.
Therefore, this naturally attracted them to come and watch, and many people would even try to stop him from preaching, not wanting him to succeed.
Seeing Wang Qian was silent for a while, He Chaohui thought that what he said had brought great pressure to Wang Qian, so he smiled and said, "Haha, Professor Wang, don't feel pressured. After all, you are still young, and this is your greatest asset. Time is something they cannot stop."
He Chaohui's words were more subtle.
However, Wang Qian understood it in one second.
Indeed, no one can stop time.
Wang Qian’s greatest asset is his youth.
Without exception, those masters of Chinese studies are in their seventies or eighties, and the youngest may be in their sixties or even seventies.
And what about Wang Qian? He's just over thirty!
Even if those masters of Chinese studies can stop Wang Qian this time, how long can they live? How many times can they stop him
At worst...
Wang Qian will keep a low profile and wait for time to pass, accumulating experience while he waits for time to pass and kills them.
When they all die...
Wang Qian will naturally become the only master in the field of Chinese classics in the contemporary world, and will also be the undisputed number one in the field of Chinese culture!
Wang Qian smiled bitterly, then said seriously: "Thank you Director He for your comfort. However, I am not necessarily afraid of them on this trip to Beijing. Youth is my asset, and at the same time, it is also my advantage. I am young, so I can think more and faster than they do... I think they can't stop me."
He Chaohui smiled and said, "Then I will look forward to Professor Wang's lecture. I wish you success."
Wang Qian: "Thank you Director He, I wish you success too."
The significance of this cooperation between CAFA, The Juilliard School in North America, and Curtis Institute is beyond Wang Qian's imagination. It is something that even the top management pays great attention to and has reminded them of.
For a long time, Chinese culture has been facing suppression from the European and American cultural circles.
European and American cultures are setting their own standards and rules in every field, leaving no chance for Chinese culture to survive.
This time, Wang Qian single-handedly broke the blockade in the field of European and American music and art, allowing Chinese folk music to go global and penetrate into the heartland of famous North American music schools.
Let Chinese music also have the opportunity to set the rules for world music, art and culture.
This is an extremely rare thing, more difficult than breaking the blockade of Europe and the United States in science and technology, and a more significant progress.
After all, as long as science and technology continue to progress, they will catch up with and break the blockade of Europe and the United States. This is an objective fact.
However, culture is an extremely subjective field. No matter how brilliant your Chinese culture is, people will just ignore you, surround you, block and suppress you, and then constantly formulate rules and definitions to subtly influence you, and you will have no way to do anything.
Therefore, the fact that Chinese folk music was accepted by two of the world's top music and art schools, the Juilliard School and Curtis, and that folk music departments were established, and that the formal dissemination and teaching of folk music began on a large scale in Europe and the United States, is of such great significance that it cannot be defined in a short period of time.
Because this is a huge progress that will have an impact for hundreds or even thousands of years!
As the initiator of the charge, Wang Qian becomes even more important.
However, Wang Qian himself did not have a deeper understanding of this. He was simply considering his own achievements and the impact of folk music on the world.
He Chaohui chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone. She still had a lot of things to arrange.
Wang Qian put down the phone, thought about the news He Chaohui told him, quickly went over it in his mind, began to anticipate many unexpected situations in his mind in advance, and then thought about how to deal with them.
Although, he did not spend as much time studying and researching Chinese culture as those masters of Chinese studies.
However, he has another world, an entire world's cultural heritage in his heart, which is the cultural crystallization created by many literary giants and masters in another world over the past thousand or two thousand years.
Therefore, he also has absolute confidence and foundation to face the questions raised by these many masters of Chinese culture at this moment!
Qin Xuerong had already prepared dinner. She carefully carried the food over and said with a smile, "It's very simple, three dishes and one soup, one meat and two vegetables."
It only took Qin Xuerong half a year to transform from a young lady who had never done housework to a virtuous wife who could cook, do housework, and take care of Wang Qian.
This is probably the power of love.
Qin Xuerong is enjoying it.
Wang Qian helped put the food down one by one and said with a smile: "That's enough, that's enough. We can't finish all of this."
Qin Xuerong: "No, you have to finish it."
Wang Qian has no habit of dieting. Even in the entertainment industry, he does not rely on dieting to maintain his weight and figure.
Moreover, he would not deliberately try to maintain his figure and weight, as that would be too tiring.
What he wants is to eat and drink.
"I'll try my best."
Wang Qian picked up the rice and took a big bite.
Qin Xuerong's face was full of happy smiles, and she squinted her eyes and slowly started eating.
They ate slowly and chatted, just like an ordinary city couple.
only…
There seems to be one child missing.
This thought slowly emerged in Wang Qian’s mind.
In his two lives, he has never been a father, and he has been a representative scumbag in both lives.
Therefore, he instinctively had some resistance to children.
However, now that the thought came to his mind, he seemed unable to suppress it.
Maybe, he should have a child to form a complete family!
Wang Qian glanced at Qin Xuerong secretly and felt extremely satisfied.
The meal took quite a long time.
Because the couple really enjoys the feeling of eating together like this.
After dinner…
Wang Qian walked slowly back and forth in the living room, thinking of it as a walk to digest his food.
Qin Xuerong cleaned up the dishes quickly and went to the kitchen.
After a while, Qin Xuerong's phone rang.
While washing the dishes, Qin Xuerong picked up the phone and answered: "Hello!"
English came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Miss Qin, I'm Evan. We want to discuss the details of the documentary with you and Professor Wang Qian again!"
Qin Xuerong turned around and looked at Wang Qian who was walking in the living room, and said directly to the phone: "Director Evan, if you can't meet the conditions I mentioned last time, then there is no need for us to talk anymore."
Evan immediately said, "Ms. Qin, in fact, the conditions you proposed are indeed excessive. However, after two days of discussion, we decided to agree to these conditions. The remaining details need to be discussed..."
Qin Xuerong paused in washing dishes, her eyes full of shock.
With such harsh conditions, how could the largest TV station in North America, the largest media group, and even the largest TV station and media group in the world agree to them
