The world is bustling with people seeking profit! The world is bustling with people seeking profit!
This is the truest reality.
Whether in the field of pop music or classical music art, most of the people who support Wang Qian are still pursuing profits deep in their hearts!
Only a few pure people are conquered by Wang Qian's talent and works.
Why do Curtis and Juilliard, two of the top music schools in North America, support Wang Qian
Is it because they yearn for art
no…
It is because Wang Qian can bring them benefits, because Wang Qian can enhance their artistic foundation, and because Wang Qian can help their graduates to make a living in this field better.
Why do so many European and American music artists admire and support Wang Qian
It’s also because of interests!
The past hundred years have been a time of rapid decline of music art. Now, except for a very small number of performers who can still make a living and lead a life of plenty, many other people in the field of music art are barely making ends meet.
In fact, in recent years, many people have found it difficult to even have enough food and clothing.
Several well-known orchestras in Europe and the United States basically rely on government subsidies and donations from wealthy people in society to survive, otherwise they would not be able to support so many world-class performers.
Most people are not interested in the art of classical music and don’t buy tickets to watch concerts!
This is the current situation!
And now, it is Wang Qian who has changed the living conditions of many music artists, making it easier for them to make money, allowing them to truly become rich people and live a decent life.
It was Wang Qian who made most people in the world start to pay attention to classical music art and become interested in buying tickets and going to the concert hall to watch their performances!
so…
They also hope that this situation will continue, and even hope that Wang Qian can further revive the entire classical music art and realize the Renaissance in the new era.
Therefore, they generally began to admire Wang Qian, began to recognize Wang Qian, and began to push Wang Qian to a higher position, so as to increase Wang Qian's influence and allow Wang Qian to influence more ordinary people to pay attention to classical music art and enable them to make money and live better.
This is the reality of society.
Are Wang Qian’s talents, strengths, and abilities impressive
They are all very powerful and can be called the best in history!
However, this is not the main reason why he is recognized in the field of European and American music and art.
If those music artists in Europe and America lived a more affluent life, or if they could support someone who could revive the art of music, they would not support and recognize Wang Qian.
This is also a point that makes many famous music schools in Europe and the United States feel helpless!
That is, in the past few decades, they have really not produced a few geniuses who can revive the art of music.
In the past few years, Chinese pianist Ming Ming was very popular in Europe and the United States and received a lot of recognition. He once became the most famous pianist in the world. He was also the first world-class music artist recognized by the world from China. Some people even called him a genius of the century that appears only once in a century.
Is it because he is obviously extremely talented
No, his strength and talent are the basis, but not the core reason. There are many people who can be compared with him in terms of strength and talent.
The most important reason is that Mingming's concert tickets sell very well and he is very popular with the audience. Tickets for his concerts in Europe and the United States are basically hard to get. He is almost the most profitable pianist in the past ten or twenty years. That is why he is recognized by many European and American music artists and sought after by many European and American media and capital.
It is obvious that he can make money not only on his own but also with the affiliated institutions and capital behind him, so he has received a lot of recognition and popularity.
Wang Qian can now get many European and American music artists to eat together, which has led to a revival in the entire field of music and art. The recognition and popularity he has received is naturally even higher, and it can be said to be the strongest in history. Even Gampphis did not receive such large-scale recognition and popularity in his generation.
The same is true in the field of pop music.
Although in recent years pop music has gradually gotten rid of the decline when the Internet first became popular, the era of making big money simply by music is indeed gone. Most musicians only rely on their music to gain popularity and personal image, and then rely on their popularity to make money in other ways. There is no way to return to the peak period of the late 1970s, 1980s and 1990s by simply selling records.
Similarly, it was the appearance of Wang Qian that brought about change.
It was Wang Qian who enabled them to achieve the astonishing result of selling a single work for over 100 million US dollars!
It was Wang Qian who did it, setting a super record of selling a song for one billion dollars.
This week, Wang Qian did not release any songs, and the entire global pop music market has been sluggish. Sales have dropped by more than 30% compared to last week when Wang Qian released a song, and this downward trend is still continuing, and may be even more terrible next week.
This woke up the entire pop music market, and they clearly realized that the explosion of the pop music market could not rely on them, but still depended on Wang Qian!
Therefore, many fans from all over the world are posting topics on social platforms asking Wang Qian to release songs and albums as soon as possible. There is also a lot of capital and media support behind this. They all hope that Wang Qian can return to the field of pop music as soon as possible and not let the pop music market that has just exploded fall back again!
This is unacceptable to many record companies, media and sales platforms.
so…
At this moment, the question that Li Qingyao casually asked brought out the conflict between the classical music art field and the popular music field over the competition for Wang Qian and laid it out in the open!
Wang Qian looked at the intense and conflicting atmosphere at the scene, thought quietly for a few seconds, and then said, "I will definitely not give up the production of the new album. In fact, I have written a few works for the new album, but I don't have time to record them. When I finish this busy period, I will quickly produce them and release them for everyone to listen to."
Wang Qian's words made the entertainment industry bigwigs from all over the world in the middle and back rows smile. They all hoped that Wang Qian could return to pop music as soon as possible so that they could all make money.
But…
Many music artists in the front row were dissatisfied.
A middle-aged music artist said loudly, "Professor Wang, your talent for music is unique in history. Even Gampith is not as good as you. You should focus on music. Only in this way can you leave the most classic music works for the whole human race, and you will become even greater."
"Popular music will eventually be forgotten by history..."
This statement immediately offended some celebrity singers.
A famous North American singer at the back said loudly: "Many people still remember the pop music from 70 years ago. We will never forget it!"
"That's only because that generation is still alive, so they still remember it. When they die, no one will remember those songs. But classic musical works are different. We will remember them forever. Gampphis's works have been passed down for more than 500 years, and they will continue to be passed down. They will still be remembered by people for a thousand years."
Someone immediately refuted.
This is indeed a point that many people cannot refute.
Pop music has its own unique versions in each generation. No matter how popular a work is, it can only influence one or two generations at most. The next generation will have their favorite popular trends. After the affected one or two generations pass away, the works they liked will gradually be forgotten by people.
However, classic musical works have been passed down for hundreds of years and are still known to the world.
Many people still listen to classic piano pieces from hundreds of years ago, and they are also quoted in many film and television dramas.
But how many people still listen to the most popular pop songs from 70 or 80 years ago? Very few...
The scene became quiet for a moment!
Wang Qian said loudly: "Everyone, stop arguing. I will not focus on a certain field, because that is not my life. My life will not be kidnapped by something for the rest of my life. I am the master of my own life, and I will do whatever I like. Okay... This morning's class ends here. After everyone rests, my symphony performance will start on time at 4 o'clock in the afternoon!"
The scene is still quiet!
Many people don’t seem to want Wang Qian’s class to end like this.
but!
Wang Qian has already started packing.
The sisters Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong, who had been waiting at the side door, quickly came up to help Wang Qian pack his things. In fact, there was not much to pack. Wang Qian didn't bring any paper, only a water cup.
Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, and Juliet once again took away the blackboard that Wang Qian had just written on.
Only then did everyone at the scene accept the reality—Wang Qian’s class was really over.
Almost all music artists do not want it to end so soon. They all hope that Wang Qian’s class will last longer and continue to expand the influence of music art around the world.
Snap, snap, snap…
Applause quickly broke out!
Everyone stood up spontaneously again and gave their warmest applause to Wang Qian.
Wang Qian looked at everyone, waved with a smile, and was about to take Qin Xuerong's hand and leave.
Qin Xuehong watched quietly, calmly and confidently, standing beside Wang Qian in front of the audience of tens of thousands of people without any sign of stage fright or embarrassment.
"Professor Wang, please sign an autograph for me..."
The familiar part is here again.
A middle-aged Chinese man from Southeast Asia walked down from his seat and shouted loudly, holding a piece of paper and pen prepared in advance.
This Chinese is Zhou Xuhe, a famous Chinese performer in Southeast Asia. He is well-known in the world. He studied at Yinsman for several years, and then studied at the Central Conservatory of Music for two years. He has held successful concerts in Europe and the United States. He has stepped into the threshold of a world-class music artist, but has been relatively quiet in recent years.
Wang Qian looked at Zhou Xuhe, then looked at He Chaohui.
because…
After Zhou Xuhe started, the scene immediately became noisy.
"Professor Wang, please sign for me too!"
"Professor Wang... I'm your loyal fan, please sign my autograph!"
"Professor Wang..."
…
A large number of music artists, celebrities, wealthy people, and stars in the world, at this moment, put aside their pride and turned into star-chasers. They walked down from their seats and walked towards Wang Qian, hoping to get Wang Qian's autograph!
Even Mark, one of the world's top billionaires, was no exception. He prepared pen and paper in advance and walked quickly towards Wang Qian. He knew that Wang Qian only had a limited number of autographs each time, and he was afraid that he would lose the opportunity if he was too late.
Everyone at the scene knew that Wang Qian’s signature was highly sought after in collectors’ circles around the world, and a single character had been hyped up to tens of thousands of dollars.
And today is the day when Wang Qian proves himself to be a music giant, live broadcast to the whole world. It is a day that is destined to go down in history.
Therefore, Wang Qian's signature today is more commemorative and has more collection value than his previous signatures.
He Chaohui quickly waved his hand and asked all the people from the Central Conservatory of Music to help maintain order. At the same time, he quickly came to Wang Qian and whispered, "Professor Wang, do you want an autograph? If you don't want one, you can refuse. Go back and have a good rest and prepare for the afternoon performance. The symphony performance is also very important. Several leaders will come to listen."
After a pause, He Chaohui continued, "My personal suggestion is to sign autographs for a few people. The people who are here today are all important people from all over the world. If you sign autographs for them, it will help increase your influence and status."
Wang Qian stopped and looked at the long queue of people waiting for autographs. Zhou Xuhe was at the front. All the eyes were looking at him eagerly, just like those crazy fans. His heart softened and he nodded and said, "Okay. How many people came today?"
He Chaohui immediately replied: "Fifteen thousand people, how about signing one thousand?"
Wang Qian shook his head: "Too many, things are valuable because they are rare. Besides, I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest early. Just 100 people, and let the ones after 100 go."
He Chaohui was obviously more concerned about Wang Qian's condition and didn't want any mistakes in the afternoon's symphony performance. He immediately said, "Okay, just 100 people. I'll arrange it right away! Xuerong, Xuehong, take care of Professor Wang..."
Sisters Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong nodded together and said that they would take good care of Wang Qian.
Wang Qian immediately sat down at the desk and prepared to start signing.
The line behind had already stretched from under the podium to outside the venue, and many people were quickly running to the back to line up. No one cut in line, and no one dared to, because there was not a single ordinary person at the scene. They were all elites and wealthy people from all walks of life. No one wanted to embarrass themselves here. After all, there were more than a dozen cameras working, and countless viewers around the world were watching them.
If they did something rude like cutting in line here, it would be immediately exposed online by the whole world and their reputation would instantly plummet to the bottom.
pity…
A young teacher at the back shouted, "Excuse me, Professor Wang will only sign 100 people, so only the first 100 people will stay. Teachers at the back, please go back and have a rest, as Professor Wang will be performing in the afternoon."
Just a hundred people
The people queuing behind were suddenly hit hard.
Many superstars, wealthy people and celebrities want to get Wang Qian's commemorative autograph today, and then go back and post it on the Internet to show off. Maybe they can hype it up and increase their popularity and attention.
And those wealthy people really want to collect Wang Qian's autograph today.
There is no doubt that in the past hundred years, Wang Qian's signature is the most commemorative and collectible signature of all celebrities!
There were voices of prayer coming from behind.
"Professor Wang, please sign a few more..."
"Professor Wang, please sign 500 people. They are all your fans and want your autograph. 100 people is too few."
"Professor Wang..."
