"Are you still thirsty? Would you like another bottle?"

Seeing that Li Zhifan drank it all in one gulp, Thomas immediately asked again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, no!"

Li Zhifan turned his head to look at Song Song, "What were you going to say just now?"

"Shhh

At the end of the concert, Zhongju Yuto enjoyed the last moment of applause on the stage, and Li Zhifan and others also stood up and stood up for him to applaud him.

Dan Xia Jian took the opportunity to come to Li Zhifan and said in broken Chinese: "Mr. Li, I am very interested, I want to talk to you and have a cup of coffee together?"

"I ......"

"Sorry, we're not interested!"

Song Song snatched Li Zhifan's words and said to Tange Jian, "You are a respected master of the music festival, we can't afford to climb it, and we don't like to drink coffee!"

"Uh, you ......"

Danxia Jian looked at Song Song in surprise, he didn't understand what he was doing when he jumped out, and he didn't know what he was Li Zhifan, but he understood Song Song's words, and summed it up in two words: refuse!

Li Zhifan didn't understand either, but after glancing at Song Song's serious expression and thinking of what he said before, Bacheng guessed something.

Danxia Jian calmed down a little and continued to smile: "I'm asking Mr. Li." ”

"My answer is the same as his!"

Li Zhifan blurted out.

Danxia Jian was choked, he was very angry, his face began to stiffen, he pursed his lips, raised his head and returned to his position proudly.

As soon as he left, a tall and thin white man with a clean temperament and a very good image walked over, accompanied by a Chinese woman who looked like a student.

"Hi, Mr. Lee, this is the Dean of the Boston Conservatory of Music, Mr. David Rambo!"

The Chinese woman said in Taiwanese Mandarin, "I listened to your performance just now, and Mr. David wants to have a special chat with you!"

"Hello, Mister-Lee!"

David stretched out his hand and greeted Li Zhifan.

"Dean?"

Li Zhifan was surprised, but also somewhat understood.

I was surprised because I didn't expect the dean to come back to listen to this concert, and the understanding was that he knew that as soon as he made a move, many people wanted to come up and talk to him.

"Hello, hello!"

Li Zhifan relieved himself and smiled, "Let's talk now?"

David said in English, "May I have a cup of coffee?"

This sentence doesn't need to be translated, Li Zhifan can understand it, nodded and said, "Yes!"

On the other side, when Danxia Jian heard his answer, he couldn't help but snort, he just said that he didn't like to drink coffee, but this person has changed, and it is obviously aimed at him alone!

“Please！”

David made a gesture of please, meaning to leave now.

Li Zhifan said: "Then I'll say hello to my friends!"

After speaking, he walked towards Yuto Nakai, who had just stepped down, said about it, and then came back and left with David.

The group did not leave the school gate, but went to a café not far from the concert hall.

The Chinese woman left directly, and it was enough to have Song Song as a translator.

"Mr. Li, I'm glad to meet you under such circumstances!"

David got straight to the point, "I've heard of your name for a long time, but your piano works have come to us, and it has been your entry into the Chinese entertainment industry.

"Be a professor?" Li Zhifan couldn't cry or laugh, "I'm afraid I can't accept it, I don't have much time to spare, you should know that the life of an artist." ”

"I understand!" said David, "so it's a visiting professor, and you can just give a few lectures when you have time!"

Li Zhifan couldn't pay attention for a while, this professor title must be attractive, and he is a professor at a well-known foreign conservatory, but if he is really allowed to teach, in addition to the time problem, there is also the ink in his stomach, the piano performance is okay, and he can't compose music.

"Zhifan, promise!"

Song Song saw that Li Zhifan didn't react for a long time, and said, "Anyway, you have to stay in the United States for a while, and you will be busy during this time, and when you return to China, you will be busy, just take time!"

Then Song Song turned his head and repeated his plan to David.

After the merger of Berklee Pop School with the Boston Classical Music Academy last year, Berklee removed the word pop from the school's name, and the Boston Classical Music Institute changed its name to Berklee Boston Conservatory.

Although the two schools share teaching resources, they are still relatively independent in terms of enrollment and subject management, giving full play to their respective disciplinary advantages in popular music and classical music.

David just took up the position of dean at the beginning of this year, so he naturally wanted to make some achievements, and hiring a well-known person in the industry to give a lecture was his trick.

Since the implementation of the plan, a total of more than ten visiting professors have been invited, and Li Zhifan's brilliant performance on stage this time, as well as his fame in the piano circle, have naturally become David's goals.

"Zhifan, Dean David agrees with my proposal, if you have an idea, you might as well stay for one night, tomorrow they will arrange an open class for you, you can feel it after the class, and then make a decision!"

Song Song conveyed the content of the conversation with David just now to Li Zhifan, expressing his desire to stay.

"But I don't know English!"

Li Zhifan spread his hands and said once again that he could not do anything, his English level was only level 4 in China, and his simple vocabulary was not good at all in front of these Yankees, otherwise there would be no need for translation.

David seems to have thought of these things earlier, and as soon as Song Song said, he proposed that it could be translated simultaneously, and it was a voice intelligent translation robot newly developed by Gugou Company, which was more efficient than human translation.

"In that case, then it's hard for me to refuse!"

Li Zhifan agreed with a smile, but said, "But I can only take piano performance classes, as for the teaching of composition, I'm afraid I can't do anything, I haven't summed up any experience now, I must not be able to say!"

"So, I'll talk to David. ”

Song Song began to chat with David again.

Berkeley's best-known major is music composition, which has been expanded since the merger of the two schools.

Classical music composition, jazz music composition, modern music writing and production, film music production technology and engineering, and song writing are among Berklee's top majors.

On the contrary, vocal music and instrumental music majors are not very prominent.

Most of the students who graduate from Berkeley every year go behind the scenes, and there are more artists in the Korean entertainment industry standing in front of the stage, and most of Berkeley's Asian students are Koreans, and even the school has hired a lot of Korean lecturers for this purpose.

The second largest number of Asian-American students are Japanese, indicating that these two countries are more willing to go to school abroad when it comes to pop music.

On the other hand, most of the Chinese students in school are students from Taiwan and Xiangjiang, and there are not many students from the mainland, and most of the students who go abroad to study music in China go to higher classical music institutions, and only the little stars or rich second generations who have studied will come to this school, after all, the tuition fee is not low, and the tuition fee plus room and board and miscellaneous items for a year is nearly 500,000 yuan.

After a while, Song Song turned back to Li Zhifan and said, "Let's talk, tomorrow morning in the open class classroom of the piano department, you will tell everyone about the knowledge of piano playing skills, and you can prepare well for an hour-long class." ”

"Okay!"

Li Zhifan stretched out his hand, shook hands with David, and said, "I have no experience in teaching, if you mess up tomorrow, don't blame me!"

After listening to Song Song's translation, David smiled and said, "Huaxia people are so modest, I think you can definitely do it." ”

After talking about this and talking about the college, David showed his love for the college and made a forward-looking vision for the future after the merger of the two schools.

It can be seen that he is also a very confident person in himself.

Li Zhifan stayed at the student hotel on campus that night, which also made him see the other side of this school - there are too many rich students.

He saw with his own eyes a black brother carrying two Korean schoolgirls into his room, and he didn't stop all night.

However, these two female students are not black brother girlfriends, because as soon as Li Zhifan went out in the morning, he saw them counting bills in the corridor.

"What are you looking at?"

Song Song walked out of the opposite room, thinking that Li Zhifan was interesting to the two sisters, and said with a smile, "What, have an idea?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Li Zhifan pointed to the next room and said, "Tsk, it's so open!"

"You mean...... Lily?"

Song Song only saw two girls, and thought they were a couple.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the next room opened, and the black brother walked out, but he didn't expect that he was still holding a blonde, blue-eyed, white-skinned little girl in his arms, and he passed by and said hello to Li Zhifan and Song Song.

"This ...... What the hell is going on? What do you mean?"

Song Song was even more confused, and he didn't understand what Li Zhifan meant by that room.

Li Zhifan stretched out three fingers, thought about it, put up another one, and shook his four fingers in front of Song Song: "It's so fierce! Four! One night!"

“……”

Song Song was speechless, turned around and pulled Li Zhifan, shook his head and left, "I didn't hear anything." ”

After checking out, the two of them went directly to the dean's office, last night's room was opened by David, and the deposit had to be returned to him.

David was playing indoor golf in his office when he saw the two of them come in, handed them clubs, and motioned for them to have a shot.

Li Zhifan waved his hand and didn't catch it, but Song Song happily took it, took a pose, hit a ball, and scored a hole-in-one.

Bang Bang Bang!

David applauded: "Good!"

Song Song smiled modestly with a little shyness: "JUST-SO-SO!"

"Okay, let's talk about today's open class!"

David put the topic aside and talked about the arrangement of the open class.

He had already notified all the students in the department, determined Li Zhifan's class time, stayed in the office for a while, and the three of them left together and walked towards the classroom.

There is a big gap with the overcrowding imagined by Li Zhifan.

Looking at the students who were only half seated, I was a little surprised.

However, David said that this is all the students in the piano department, except for a few accidents that have special things to ask for leave, all of them who can come to the school.

Since this is the case, Li Zhifan did not bother anymore.

As he was about to give a lecture, there was a loud sound of footsteps outside the classroom.

It's not something that one person or a dozen people can emit out, it's like a troop stepping up the stairs.

The next moment, a white man with blond curly hair and glasses and a big belly and a slight fat came in from outside, and greeted David directly: "Mr. Dean, I heard that you invited Mr. Li Zhifan to give a public lecture, why didn't you inform me?"

Although Song Song's translation felt a little awkward, like a question, the tone and attitude of this white man were indeed the feelings of subordinates to superiors.

David told him that this class was only an experimental class, not a formal course.

The white fat man said again, that you have to listen, and said that this is what the principal meant.

David had no choice but to nod: "Okay! Let your students find a place to do it, fast, we only have an hour of class time." ”

The white fat man went out and waved, and a bunch of students poured in, all kinds of skin colors, and many Chinese students who knew Li Zhifan confessed to him in Chinese.

Belch...... Yes, it is indeed a confession!

After arranging the students, the white fat man came over to shake hands with Li Zhifan, saying that his name was Charlitte, and he originally wanted to talk to Li Zhifan more, but now he will not delay his class, and he will talk about it later.

Li Zhifan looked at the classroom that was full all of a sudden, and there were students squeezed on a chair with others, so he asked the white fat man, are these people who came in behind all piano majors?

The white fat man only said "yes", but the meaning in his eyes was not so.

couldn't care so much, Li Zhifan walked up to the podium, tried the simultaneous translation, and said hello to everyone: "Hello everyone, I'm Li Zhifan!"

The intelligent robot newly developed by Gu Gou is indeed a cow, and even the name Li Zhifan has been translated, but it is called "Zhifan-Li".

It's just that the translator is about two beats better than him talking, and in the huge classroom, maybe only the students in the front row with the tips of their ears can hear Li Zhifan's real voice, and in addition, the entire large classroom is filled with emotionless machine sounds.

The students applauded and welcomed Li Zhifan.

After the applause was over, Li Zhifan said: "Before class, I want to ask a question, how many of you went to see the piano concert at the Boston Concert Hall last night?"

Only about 20 people in the class raised their hands, less than a fifth.

Li Zhifan nodded and said: "Okay! Regarding the professional skills of the piano, in fact, I don't have anything special to teach you, I believe that everyone here has been practicing since childhood, and I can only share with you some of my playing experience." ”

At this moment, a student raised his hand and was eager to try.

Li Zhifan pointed at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The student stood up and muttered a little English, and a voice came from Li Zhifan's headphones: "Professor Li, why can you play so fast and hold on for so long, and how did you write your perverted super fast piano music?"

After hearing this, Li Zhifan smiled: "Then why don't I demonstrate it to you on the spot?"
