It was noon not long after Wang Qian arrived at the program crew.
Zhou Qinghua invited Wang Qian to have a working lunch with him.
The lunch for the four mentors, Cui Wenfeng, Liu Junhua, Wang Jingyu and Qin Han, was delivered by a special person and was not shared with the working meals of their program team.
Wang Qian had just finished eating at Zhou Qinghua's place.
Cui Wenfeng asked Wang Qian to come over for dinner.
There's no way, I can't refuse.
Wang Qian put down his lunch box, said hello to Zhou Qinghua and He Dongming, and ran over to join the four mentors to eat.
Also coming at the same time were Lin Gangjun and four other contestants. They ate together at a large round table, creating an atmosphere similar to that of a family gathering.
On the dining table were ten dishes and two soups sent from a nearby Chinese restaurant.
Such treatment is very average considering their status.
If it is some first-line young stars, they will definitely ask for meals from a five-star hotel, otherwise they will not eat and will not continue to work!
As soon as Wang Qian came over, Cui Wenfeng waved and said enthusiastically: "Wang Qian, come and sit down. We are waiting for you."
Everyone was indeed seated.
Wang Qian hurried over and sat down next to Cui Wenfeng, saying embarrassedly: "Brother Feng, everyone, I'm sorry to be late. In fact, I just had a meal at Director Zhou's place."
Cui Wenfeng picked up his chopsticks and started eating: "It's okay, don't be polite, sit down and eat something casually, we just want to have some fun, more people will make it more lively. How is it, are you familiar with the place?"
Wang Qian took some time out in the morning to walk around the stage a few times, familiarizing himself with the venue again, and nodded, "Not bad! With the experience you taught me, Brother Feng, my movements are much smoother."
Cui Wenfeng smiled and said, "Don't put a hat on me."
Lin Gangjun also said: "I have been following Brother Feng every day recently and have really learned a lot."
Wang Jingyu was eating and glanced at Wang Qian: "Wang Qian, I want to invite you to sing a song for me. How about it? It's the title song of my next album."
After a pause, Wang Jingyu continued, "I will make it public on Weibo!"
Everyone paused for a moment while eating.
Several young contestants looked at Wang Jingyu in surprise.
Publicly inviting Wang Qian to sing a song on a social platform would be equivalent to publicly supporting Wang Qian, which would offend Tengfei.
Wang Qian smiled slightly, raised his glass and toasted Wang Jingyu: "Thank you Sister Yu, but I don't want Sister Yu to cause trouble for me. Besides, I've been mainly preparing my voice recently, and I don't have time to write a song for you Sister Yu. I'm sorry! If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely work with Sister Yu once."
Wang Jingyu picked up the water cup and took a sip, then said with a smile: "It's not just to help you, I really like your songs. If I can add your songs to my next album, it might become popular again, for example, it might get the first place on the monthly new song chart or something!"
Although Wang Jingyu is a veteran and powerful diva who has been active in the music scene in recent years, her appeal is far less than before. There is a big gap between her and Li Qingyao, who are currently popular first-line singers. The performance of the singles and albums she released in recent years has been relatively average. They were able to rank among the top few of the year, but they have never won first place, nor have they released any singles that are so popular.
She is now thinking about releasing another hit album that will win the annual sales championship.
That’s why I’m now directly inviting Wang Qian to sing a song!
Judging from Wang Qian’s current impressive performance on the Tengfei New Songs Chart, the quality of his songs is truly beyond reproach.
The contestants all had different expressions, and most of them looked at Wang Qian with some suspicion, but none of them said anything and just continued eating.
Except for Lin Gangjun and Wang Qian, the other contestants were real newcomers, either students or trainees, and they didn't dare to speak in front of these four mentors.
Qin Han said softly: "Wang Qian, when you went on stage, I was the first one to turn around! In the end, you chose Brother Feng."
Everybody laughed.
At that time, he was frightened by Wang Qian's shout and pressed the button, and the picture of him turning around in panic is still a popular emoticon on social platforms.
But there is nothing wrong with what he said.
He did turn around the moment Wang Qian opened his mouth.
It can be said to be the legendary kneeling down upon hearing one's words!
pity.
Wang Qian wanted to go for a rock style of music this time on The Voice of China, so he finally chose Cui Wenfeng.
Cui Wenfeng: "Lao Qin, stop it. I only have two players. Are you trying to poach them now? The program rules don't allow it. Hurry up and eat."
Qin Han smiled and continued eating.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became a little more lively.
Wang Qian didn't eat much, occasionally picking up some dishes to taste. He waited for everyone to finish eating and start working, then he left the program crew and went back.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Liu Junhua's cell phone rang.
Liu Junhua, who was eating and not talking much, frowned slightly and picked up his phone to check. Seeing that it was the leader of CAFM, Director He of the Piano Department, he answered the call curiously: "Director He, what do you want to talk to me about?"
He Chaohui was in the lounge of Moyin at the moment, holding the phone and said, "Lao Liu, are you recording a program on The Voice of China?"
Liu Junhua nodded: "Yes, that's right! I just finished work and took a break. I'm eating. Have you eaten yet?"
He Chaohui: "I just ate too. I want to ask you something."
Liu Junhua: "Well, go ahead!"
He Chaohui: "Is Wang Qian in your production team?"
Liu Junhua: "Yes, he is having dinner with us now."
Liu Junhua glanced at Wang Qian curiously, wondering why He Chaohui asked about Wang Qian. One was the director of the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music, and the other was a contestant of The Voice of China and the owner of a hot pot restaurant. The two should have no intersection.
He Chaohui continued, "I want to ask you, you know about the online rumor that Wang Qian plagiarized and Tengfei removed two of his songs, right?"
Liu Junhua nodded: "Yes, I know, Director He, why are you asking this?"
He Chaohui: "Do you think he plagiarized?"
Liu Junhua looked at Wang Qian and said seriously, "In my personal opinion, I don't think he did. This is a dispute over interests between him and Tengfei. The so-called plagiarism should be a means for Tengfei to deliberately suppress him. Director He, do you care about this?"
After hearing what Liu Junhua said, the people at the dinner table knew what he was talking about, and they all pricked up their ears curiously.
Wang Qian also looked at Liu Junhua curiously, wondering who was asking Liu Junhua about him. Seeing Liu Junhua looking at him, he smiled and nodded, thanking Liu Junhua for trusting him, and said softly, "Thank you, Teacher Liu!"
Liu Junhua nodded slightly to Wang Qian and smiled back.
However, He Chaohui said seriously on the phone: "Lao Liu, did you know that Wang Qian is also a professor in our college?"
Snap!
Liu Junhua dropped the chopsticks in his hand to the ground in shock, and asked loudly in surprise: "What? Director He, what did you say? Are you talking about Wang Qian?"
He stared at Wang Qian with wide eyes, as if he was meeting Wang Qian for the first time.
Everyone else at the table was shocked by Liu Junhua's violent reaction and stopped eating.
Wang Jingyu, Qin Han and Cui Wenfeng all looked at Liu Junhua with doubts.
This was the first time they had seen Liu Junhua behave so out of control since they had joined the production team to produce the program.
Liu Junhua seemed not to notice the other people's gazes on him. He was just concentrating on the phone, waiting for He Chaohui's answer.
He Chaohui said quickly, "Yes! The day before yesterday, after I invited him several times, Wang Qian agreed to be a professor in the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music! You may not know that I, Yang from Magic Conservatory of Music, and Peng from Zhejiang Conservatory of Music were all competing for Wang Qian. Wang Qian agreed to me first, but Yang and Peng also refused to let go. Finally, they proposed that Wang Qian be a professor in the piano departments of our three schools at the same time, and I agreed."
"So, Wang Qian is not only a professor at CAFM, but also a professor in the piano department at MOCA and ZJMU! I'm looking for you because you have the greatest influence in the entertainment industry at our school. I hope you can make a public statement to represent CAFM in supporting Wang Qian and to show our school's attitude."
"I owe you a favor!"
He Chaohui said to Liu Junhua sincerely.
but!
Liu Junhua stared at Wang Qian, his mind full of the first half of He Chaohui's words!
Central Conservatory of Music, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, three schools are competing for Wang Qian!
Finally, Wang Qian served as a professor in the piano departments of three schools...
this…
Liu Junhua picked up the phone and checked it. It was indeed He Chaohui calling, not a scammer...
Seeing that Liu Junhua was silent, He Chaohui thought that Liu Junhua was in a difficult situation, so he continued, "Old Liu, we have known each other for decades, so this is a favor for me."
Liu Junhua regained consciousness and said hurriedly, "Director He, no, I was just shocked. Is what you said true?"
He Chaohui: "Of course it is true, but the formalities have not been completed. However, the principal has personally assessed it, and all that remains is to go through the formalities."
Liu Junhua asked the biggest question in his mind: "Why?"
He Chaohui: "Of course it's because of his talent. I'll show you a few videos and you'll understand. I can only tell you that if Wang Qian stays at CAFM, the overall level of our school's piano department will rise by at least one level."
Liu Junhua calmed down his shock and doubts, smiled apologetically at everyone at the table, and said to the phone, "What do you want me to do, Director He?"
He Chaohui: "It's very simple. You should make a public statement on behalf of our Central Conservatory of Music to support him and believe that he did not plagiarize! At the same time, we will also make a public statement that he has been hired as a professor in the piano department."
Liu Junhua asked: "Is it released now?"
He Chaohui: "Of course the sooner the better! He is a professor in our college, so we must stand up and support him as soon as possible. I also hope that he can know that our college stands behind him and supports him as soon as possible."
When did the college start caring so much about its employees
Liu Junhua complained a little in his heart, knowing that this meant that He Chaohui valued Wang Qian very much, and he quickly agreed: "Okay, I'll ask my assistant to help me post on Weibo!"
He Chaohui: "Okay, thank you for your help, Lao Liu. I'll treat you to a meal next time you come back."
Liu Junhua: "Haha, it's okay."
Hang up the phone!
Everyone at the table put down their chopsticks and looked at Liu Junhua. When they saw that Liu Junhua had finished fighting, they hurriedly picked up their chopsticks and pretended to eat.
Wang Jingyu ate while looking at Wang Qian. Knowing that the call Liu Junhua received might be related to Wang Qian, she pretended to be nonchalant and asked Liu Junhua, "Old Liu, what scared you like this?"
Liu Junhua had already waved to his assistant who was taking a nap not far away. He did not answer Wang Jingyu immediately, but quickly said to the assistant: "Immediately post a message on my Weibo account."
The assistant nodded: "Brother Hua, go ahead!"
Liu Junhua did not shy away from saying in front of several people: "As a professor at the Central Conservatory of Music, I support Wang Qian's work and believe that he will never plagiarize. Mr. Wang Qian is also a professor of the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music. He has excellent musical accomplishment and moral character and will definitely not plagiarize! I hope Tengfei can immediately withdraw the plagiarism statement against Professor Wang Qian."
Not to mention the number of people eating at the table.
Even some people who were listening attentively not far away were stunned. They stopped what they were doing, turned around and looked at Liu Junhua with wide eyes in surprise.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Everyone at the dinner table stared at Liu Junhua with wide eyes, and then looked at Wang Qian, their eyes full of shock, confusion, and disbelief!
The assistant looked up at Liu Junhua, and after making sure there were no mistakes, he entered the information and published it. Then he realized what he had written and looked up at his boss in shock.
Liu Junhua stood up at this time and extended his hand to Wang Qian, who was the only one sitting there and still calmly eating his food. His eyes were full of curiosity and he said solemnly, "Professor Wang, nice to meet you!"
Wang Qian also hurriedly put down his chopsticks, stood up, stretched out his hand and shook Liu Junhua's hand firmly, and said with a smile: "Professor Liu, it's too formal. Here I am a student contestant, and you are the teachers. Don't be so serious, relax."
Liu Junhua exclaimed: "Professor Wang is indeed an extraordinary person. If Director He hadn't called me personally, I wouldn't have believed it. You must be the youngest professor in our college."
Then Liu Junhua said to Wang Jingyu who was still in shock: "Jingyu, do you know what happened now? Look how scared you are!"
Wang Jingyu woke up, her already big eyes widened even more, like the watery eyes in a cartoon. She looked at Wang Qian and Liu Junhua and asked in an incredulous tone, "Wait, are you sure you're not kidding? Is what you said true? Is Wang Qian also a professor at your Central Conservatory of Music?"
The others also woke up and looked at Liu Junhua and Wang Qian expectantly, wanting to know the answer.
Liu Junhua sat down and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I don't quite believe it, just like you. But this is what Director He from the Piano Department said. I have to believe it. Professor Wang, can you tell me the details? I heard from Director He that this is what happened recently?"
Cui Wenfeng, Qin Han, Lin Gangjun, and several other contestants all looked Wang Qian up and down carefully.
It was as if they were meeting Wang Qian for the first time.
Wang Qian felt a little involuntary, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, Brother Han, Sister Yu, please don't look at me like that, I feel pressured."
Cui Wenfeng urged, "Tell me what's going on! Are you a professor now?"
He also works part-time as a teacher at a music college and occasionally gives lectures, but he is only a teacher, not a professor. Moreover, that college is only a local undergraduate music school, which is several levels lower than national key schools like the Central Conservatory of Music.
Wang Jingyu asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, what do you teach?"
Qin Han also stared at Wang Qian closely. Although he didn't say anything, his face was full of curiosity.
Wang Qian said softly, "Actually, there's nothing much to say. I just attended an international music exchange meeting at Magic Conservatory of Music a few days ago. People from Magic Conservatory of Music, Central Conservatory of Music, Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, as well as Berklee and Curtis Institute attended. I was invited to play a few piano pieces I wrote myself, and they insisted on inviting me to be a professor."
"I refused several times because I didn't think I was qualified to be a professor and I didn't have time to teach. I couldn't delay the students."
"But they kept inviting me, so I had no choice but to accept the invitation from Director He of the Central Conservatory of Music. The Magic Conservatory of Music and the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music also insisted that I take up professorships, so I agreed to take up professorships in all three schools."
"Berkeley and Curtis are too far away, and it's impossible to hold a position in the United States of North America, so I rejected it."
Quiet!
Snap!
The only sound was Wang Qian eating the food with his chopsticks.
Bang…
A worker who was moving a machine not far away was stunned after hearing Wang Qian's words and dropped the valuable machine in his hand to the ground.
