Lin Xizhan also got up very early in the morning, and started writing as soon as he stood in the yard.
Yan Zixin stood by and ground ink.
Zhao Shuren and Xue Zhenguo looked for a while and then left as they both had other things to deal with.
Xue Man and Yan Zixin watched it for quite a while.
However, Lin Xizhan ignored his surroundings and focused on practicing calligraphy. He kept writing, and it seemed that he used up all his strength to write every word.
After writing for two hours in a row, Lin Xizhan slowly put down his brush, looking tired.
Yan Zixin quickly handed the towel to Lin Xizhan and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Lin Xizhan looked at what he had written and sighed, "The feeling of enlightenment I had yesterday is gone. I'm afraid it will be impossible to make further progress in the future."
Lin Xizhan's face was full of regret. He got up early in the morning just to catch the inspiration brought by Wang Qian's painting and writing in running script yesterday. He kept practicing and understanding, and wanted to go further to reach a higher level of running script calligraphy and catch up with Wang Qian's current level.
Unfortunately, he no longer had that sense of clarity, and he no longer had that feeling when he wrote.
Although he had made progress compared to before, he clearly saw that the higher level of running script demonstrated by Wang Qian would never be able to reach it in the future, which made him even more uncomfortable.
Yan Zixin whispered, "Teacher, it's amazing that you can still make progress now. I can't compare with people like Professor Wang."
Lin Xizhan nodded.
Xue Man said softly, "There was a piece of news just now that Director Li of the National Museum contacted Liu Shengnan personally, wanting to collect the only authentic copy of Professor Wang's "Xia Ke Xing" that Liu Shengnan holds, and put it in the National Museum. It's not clear whether Liu Shengnan agreed or not."
Will The Knight-errant be included in the National Museum
Lin Xizhan looked at Xue Man in surprise. He, a representative figure of Chinese studies in Hong Kong, did not have a single work worthy of being included in the National Museum.
Of course, there are two works by Lin Xizhan in the Hong Kong Museum. They were his previous masterpieces, but he knows that he is at his peak now.
The calligraphy he wrote this morning is more lively and vivid than the two pieces in the Hong Kong Museum.
Lin Xizhan said softly: "Professor Wang's works are indeed qualified to be included in the National Museum. However, I think that the painting from yesterday is the most qualified. Even the national treasure-level Chinese paintings in the National Museum now look very ordinary in front of Professor Wang's work. The only advantage is that it is older."
Yan Zixin nodded: "That's right! If the National Museum wants to take away the Xiake Xing, then the Wanglushan Waterfall painting may not be far away."
Xue Man: "That picture of Mount Lu's waterfall has not been made public yet!"
Lin Xizhan smiled and said, "Now, the capital may be bustling."
As a representative of the older generation of Chinese studies masters, Lin Xizhan knows the older generation of Beijingers best and knows their arrogance and prejudice.
Except for Lin Xizhan, who also came from the Beijing circle, almost everyone else is ignored by the Beijing circle.
Now, Wang Qian, a young man from an ordinary family who changed his career late, has achieved such success. How could they possibly sit still
Xue Man lowered his head and swiped his phone, then suddenly said, "Mr. Lin, Professor Yu Renshan has spoken publicly."
Lin Xizhan was not surprised at all. He continued to look at the words he had written carefully, slowly realizing something, and asked calmly, "What did you say?"
Xue Mannian said, "Professor Yu Renshan just said on Weibo that Director Li's decision was a bit abrupt and that he should not be swayed by online public opinion and should adhere to higher standards of judgment..."
Yan Zixin said calmly, "So, the National Museum lowered its standards by accepting Professor Wang's works? Many of their works failed to enter because the standards were higher before? Where do these people get the confidence to compare their works with Professor Wang's? Standards? Except that they are not old enough, how are Professor Wang's works worse than the national treasures collected by the National Museum?"
After a brief meeting and contact with Wang Qian, Yan Zixin naturally became Wang Qian's admirer and defender, and felt uncomfortable when he saw someone saying bad things about Wang Qian.
She also has a family background in academics and is a student of Lin Xizhan. If we count the generations, even Xue Zhenguo is her junior, and Xue Man is the youngest among the youngest.
Therefore, her knowledge and background are definitely extraordinary. After she saw the painting by Wang Qian, she was astounded!
Lin Xizhan chuckled: "Let's just keep quiet and watch the show."
Yan Zixin hummed and stopped talking.
Xue Man nodded, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
She grew up in Beijing and had come into contact with almost all the masters of literature and Chinese studies in the Beijing circle. She knew that Wang Qian might now become the public enemy of the Beijing circle.
Even some of the masters of Chinese studies in the Beijing circle who had treated Wang Qian fairly before were no longer interested in him and wanted to criticize him!
He has achieved such amazing success at such a young age. If he is not given a warning, won’t he bully all of them and act arrogantly in the future
…
Wang Qian never thought about bullying anyone.
He just wants to do his own thing!
Early in the morning.
Li Xiyan and He Chaohui came to pick him up, and after a quick breakfast, they headed to the performance hall of the Central Conservatory of Music.
None of the main members of the National Orchestra were absent, in accordance with the requirements written by Wang Qian on the symphony score, not one less and not one more.
No one would make trouble to compete with others at this time.
Even in the literary and art circles, many people were against Wang Qian.
However, in the music and art circles, no one dares to do this now.
Just because Wang Qian’s international achievements are unprecedented.
This is very important in the Beijing circle.
Many artists in Beijing look down on their counterparts in other parts of the country, but are extremely fawning and admiring of their international counterparts. They dream of gaining international recognition at all costs.
Music, fine arts, literature, film and television, etc.!
This is the case with most people. They are extremely eager for international recognition and are willing to do many things that seem incredible to ordinary people.
If Wang Qian had come to the Central Conservatory of Music to give lectures in Shanghai before going abroad, it would have been impossible for him to receive such welcome and cooperation from music and art figures in Beijing.
No matter how high Wang Qian’s achievements and how good his results are in the country.
In the eyes of Beijing artists, these are nothing, just what others have left over. They have already set their sights on the international arena.
And now, he has achieved such success in the field of international music and art that he is about to become a world music master.
This is the ultimate dream of all Chinese music artists.
It is also the ultimate dream of all music artists in Beijing.
Naturally, Wang Qian's image in their hearts became extremely tall.
Therefore, they all cooperated extremely well and did not cause any trouble to Wang Qian. They all wanted to use Wang Qian's international lectures and performances to show themselves. Perhaps their own abilities could also be recognized internationally
then.
Any musical request of Wang Qian will be unconditionally cooperated and recognized.
Want to play Liang Zhu
Can!
The Central Conservatory of Music, major music schools across the country, and folk performance masters will all cooperate with you, providing you with the people, instruments, and venues you need.
Want to play a symphony
Can!
You said a few violins, so there are just that many, not one more, not one less.
You said you don’t want a piano, that’s fine too, all pianists will just be there as audience members to take a break.
You said you want to be the conductor yourself
That was no problem either. Several top domestic performers and conductors who have won international recognition also took a break and served as audience members without any complaints.
Even though Wang Qian had no experience or performance in conducting performances.
They will absolutely cooperate.
Such is the effect of international achievement and the aura of super-genius.
If Wang Qian’s literary works were to win the Nobel Prize in Literature internationally…
Then, one by one, all the writers and sinologists in the Beijing circle will become supporters of Wang Qian.
Not to mention collecting the two representative works in the National Museum, they would raise their hands in approval even if the clothes and shoes Wang Qian wore when he received the award were collected in the National Museum.
So, when Wang Qian heard Qin Xuerong mention the National Museum and the discussions outside, he didn't care at all.
This has no effect on him!
Wang Qian stood quietly on the stage, holding the full score, and gave individual explanations to each musician, explaining the score they were to play, and each section was explained in great detail!
Wang Zhengjun stood in the stands not far away and said softly, "It is better to meet in person than to hear about him. After meeting Professor Wang, I realized that it is fortunate that I am old. I can use the excuse that I am old. But the fact is that even when I was young, I was far inferior to Professor Wang. He was born for music."
Another conductor nodded and said, "I have a feeling that Professor Wang's symphony will shock the world!"
Li Xiyan smiled and said, "Last night, Professor Wang played a piece of music. After I listened to it, I still remember it clearly. It is very profound. I know that if this piece of music is played in its entirety, it will surely make Professor Wang famous in history and prove to the world that China not only has its own folk music art, but can also surpass the highest musical achievements of the West."
After hearing this, several people were overwhelmed with emotion.
Isn’t this what they pursue all their life
Several people stopped talking and watched Wang Qian communicate and get to know each musician quietly and attentively.
This is already the rhythm of a master conductor.
Top conductors usually have a fixed orchestra to work with, because this way they can become familiar with the style and playing habits of each musician, as well as the entire style and habits, and then deeply add their own imprint to the whole, in order to reflect their own style and musical concepts.
This is what top music conductors want to do and must do.
It's not something you can just stand there, wave your hands and make a few expressions; the work behind the scenes is unimaginably difficult.
There are many top performers, but very few top conductors. The number of top international conductors does not exceed two hands, and each of them is a pinnacle representative in the field of musical art.
but.
Several top Chinese conductors are not recognized internationally and cannot be considered international conducting masters.
This is the regret and resentment of Wang Zhengjun and others.
Because they believe that the international performances they conducted are no worse than those of the international conducting masters, and the overall effect is even better.
After all, the National Orchestra is the highest embodiment of China's overall musical art. Its overall strength is world-class and its coordination is perfect. Naturally, the performance effect is almost perfect.
But…
People just don’t acknowledge you, and you’re not convinced
Then people will say that China does not have its own musical art, and that the songs performed internationally are all famous European and American songs, so conductors will naturally be inferior.
Therefore, Wang Zhengjun and others hope that Wang Qian can break this situation, lead the national orchestra, shock the world internationally, and slap the face of discrimination and prejudice against European and American music artists!
China also has master conductors!
Until the afternoon!
Wang Qian devoted himself to rehearsals and practice.
The people watching around have changed several times. Many masters and musicians in the circle came to watch for a while, and then most of them left, leaving only a few people such as Wang Zhengjun and Li Xiyan, who have been there as spectators.
Even though Wang Qian didn't play a piece the whole afternoon, he spent the whole afternoon chatting about music with every musician in order to get to know each of them.
In the evening.
Wang Qian finished his first day of practice with the National Orchestra.
Wang Zhengjun and Li Xiyan did not disturb Wang Qian, allowing him to concentrate on rehearsing the symphony with peace of mind.
Wang Qian looked tired, but there was still excitement in his eyes.
Because, being a symphony conductor is also a challenge and test for him.
Qin Xuerong took Wang Qian's hand and walked towards the residence, saying, "I heard from my sister that this time you will perform your symphony at the Central Conservatory of Music. There may be leaders coming to watch the performance, which is the greatest support for you."
Wang Qian was stunned when he heard this and stopped walking: "They want to watch my performance?"
Wang Qian has been a human being for two lifetimes, but he has never come into contact with any leaders.
Is there actually a chance in this life
He felt a little excited and expectant.
Qin Xuerong also looked proud and smiled, "It has not been confirmed yet, but there is only a little rumor. The specific situation depends on the results of your rehearsal with the National Orchestra and the internal evaluation of the National Orchestra. After all, it was an international performance at the time. If we cannot conquer international music artists, then having them as audiences will not have much effect."
Wang Qian nodded gently, and his heart was full of motivation again: "I understand, I will try to rehearse the effect as soon as possible."
He believed that as long as he could rehearse this piece of music to achieve the effect he wanted, it would definitely be a success.
The two chatted as they came to the door.
I saw several figures standing at the door.
Seeing Wang Qian coming back, several people hurried to greet him.
The leader was a thin old man with snow-white hair, wearing a formal suit. He walked quickly towards Wang Qian enthusiastically, stretched out both hands to shake hands with Wang Qian, and said in a slightly excited voice: "Hello, Professor Wang, hello. I finally meet you in person. I am Li Guangwen, the director of the National Museum."
Director Li of the National Museum
