Chapter 117: North American Show 46
"Of course there is no problem. Chen Feng smiled confidently and continued, "Actually, I've always wanted to find an opportunity to prove my talent in music, especially in instrumental playing. According to my public information, I have mastered the performance of more than a dozen musical instruments, and although many people believe that I am not bragging, many people do not believe it, at least in their hearts. Therefore, I am grateful for the opportunity to prove this time to the Allen Show program team. Next, let's wait and see. ”
"Good. Since you have no problem, then your instrument performance time starts right away. First of all, please ask Professor Strait from the California Conservatory of Music to ask the question, in addition to the basic teaching of music, he is also a famous small ~ trumpet player, now please ask him to test the level of long's small ~ trumpet performance. ”
Everyone didn't expect to let these experts ask questions on the spot. Chen Feng also didn't expect it, and couldn't help frowning slightly, although he was confident that he would be able to pass the test easily, but the program team actually arranged it without communicating with him in advance, and Chen Feng felt the malice in it.
Allen should be able to be ruled out, although this show is called the Allen show, she is just a host, and she is not very famous now, and her control over the program team is very limited, and now the producers and planners are still the real power in the program group. The producer of the show, Chen Feng saw it at the beginning, but the planner hasn't seen it yet, so he is the most suspicious.
Although the Allen Show is a CBS program, it actually has a certain degree of independence, and the producer is considered a TV station. But Allen and the planner of the Allen Show may not be, they have a certain degree of independence, and the two sides belong to the nature of cooperation. Therefore. Although Chen Feng is the major shareholder of CBS, the other party may not necessarily buy his account, not to mention that it is still a live show, and Chen Feng is already in the show, facing hundreds of millions of viewers.
Therefore, it is relatively easy for the other party to make some small moves in the show, and there are not too many concerns. If Chen Feng is embarrassed in the show. It doesn't have much impact on the show itself, but it may add a breaking point. Outsiders didn't know that Chen Feng and the program team had not communicated in advance, so most people were a little worried that Chen Feng would stumble. But it is also more confident.
And Alan had already hinted just now, seeing that Chen Feng was still full of confidence, he naturally chose to believe Chen Feng.
"You can play a variation from Alban's Venice Carnival, which anyone who learns the cornet should know. ”
Alban was the founder of the modern school of small~trumpet playing. He was also the first player to establish the full skill of the cornet. He is also a composer. Two works have also been composed that have benefited the cornet practisers, including the Venice Carnival Variations, which has a difficult passage for the horn solos, which has been the challenge of cornet learners for decades, which means that it is a very difficult piece. Those who have studied the cornet for more than ten years may not be able to interpret this variation well.
Chen Feng just nodded, and then picked up the small ~ number from the cart, first tried the sound, and then motioned to the professor Strand: "Professor, then I'll start playing." Please advise. ”
Strand didn't speak, just made a gesture of please. With an arrogant look, it was obvious that he belonged to the part of people who didn't believe that Chen Feng would be proficient in more than a dozen musical instruments. The attitude towards Chen Feng is not very friendly, which can be seen from the difficult exam question he gave Chen Feng.
Chen Feng didn't talk nonsense anymore, picked up the small ~ number and began to play the variations of "Venice Carnival", there was no difficulty at the beginning, and the difficulty will deepen later.
With Chen Feng's performance, Professor Strand, who was still arrogant and relaxed, slowly became solemn in his expression, and then had a shocked expression.
By the end of Chen Feng's performance, even those who don't know much about the small ~ number know that Chen Feng played very well, very smooth and good.
"Professor Strong, what do you think of the long playing? Alan reminded. In fact, everyone had already guessed when they saw the change in Strand's expression just now.
Professor Strain said with emotion and embarrassment: "He played very well! Very well! He is a master." I feel a little ashamed now, because his little ~ trumpet performance level is higher than mine, and I really can't comment on him as an examiner anymore. I admit that I really didn't believe that Long had mastered and mastered so many musical instruments, because he was so young, and he was also an entertainment star, and there were a lot of mundane things involved in real life, so he shouldn't have so much energy and time to learn so many instruments. After all, a person's time, energy, and talent are limited. But now that the facts are in front of my eyes, I have to admit that he is a musical genius. We can't look at him through the eyes of the world. ”
After saying this, Strahan bowed slightly to Chen Feng, and then walked towards the backstage. This sudden departure made Allen, the host, a little unresponsive.
Chen Feng was also stunned for a while before he reacted, this music professor is really maverick. So much so that almost everyone was a little dumbfounded.
"Wow! Thank you, Professor Strand, for the compliment. Although I was a little embarrassed by his compliment, I would say that he was right, I do have some talent in music. If people look at me from a worldly point of view and ordinary people, it would be a little unfair to me. My official profile shows that I have mastered and mastered more than a dozen instruments, which is really not bragging, but a fact. I'm not trying to show off anything, but to show people who I really am. If I conceal this and only announce that I have mastered and mastered two or three instruments, but I am deliberately deceiving the world, it is obviously not honest and unfair to the fans who have always supported me. Well, next, I will continue to accept the assessment and comments of your experts. ”
"Yes. Long is right. Alan finally reacted at this time and hurriedly answered. "We do this to show you a real long, a unique long. Well, now for Mr. Madison. He is a veteran piano player. He has released an album of the flute. ”
After that, Chen Feng played five kinds of musical instruments in a row, adding up to a total of six, including small ~ horn, flute, double reed, accordion, xylophone, and bagpipes.
Without exception, Chen Feng has played very successfully in the field, and each instrument has an expert level. Each of the invited experts gave a high evaluation.
There were bursts of cheers and applause at the scene, and it took almost half an hour to become Chen Feng's special instrumental recital.
This comes out of the show effect. Naturally, I didn't say it.
By the time Chen Feng's live performance of his instruments ended, this issue of the Allen Show could be regarded as coming to an end. The two of them sat down on the couch again.
"To be honest, you've completely conquered me. I'm already a fan of your brain now. Alan looked at Chen Feng with an appreciative look and said.
"Wasn't it before?" Chen Feng asked with a smile. The scene couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Alan also shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay." I'll admit, I used to be just a fan of yours, not very loyal. But now I'm definitely a big fan of yours. ”
"Okay. Thank you. Chen Feng stopped joking and nodded solemnly.
Alan also changed the subject and asked, "Now I believe that no one suspects that your public information is fake." No one will doubt that you are proficient in more than a dozen musical instruments. You have just been assessed by six experts on the spot. Played at a masterful level. Not only did so many of us see it in person, but so did the hundreds of millions of people in front of the TV. In addition, as we all know, your piano, guitar, violin, flute, and erhu are several Chinese musical instruments, so no one questions you on this anymore. So, can you tell us how you learned so many instruments and became proficient in them? We all know that it's not that hard to master a single instrument. In particular, it will not be difficult to learn to play a relatively simple piece on one instrument. The hard part is mastering this instrument. As Professor Strain said earlier, you are still so young, and you don't have all the time to learn an instrument, and you have limited time and energy. From the perspective of us ordinary people, this is impossible. ”
Chen Feng nodded and said, "According to the standards of ordinary people, it is indeed an impossible task to be proficient in more than a dozen musical instruments in just a few years in your spare time. As I've said before, I have a talent in music that most people don't have, and the same is true for learning musical instruments. In fact, many musical instruments are interconnected. After all, music theory is the same. For example, as long as you learn the flute, it won't be too difficult to learn other similar instruments, such as the clarinet and oboe. Of course, first you have to be interested in these instruments, and then you have the talent, so that you can learn them with half the effort. That's what I am. I have been learning various musical instruments since I was eight or nine years old, first of all, several musical instruments from our country, such as erhu, flute, dong flute, suona and so on. When I grew up, I began to learn Western musical instruments, such as piano, violin, guitar, etc. So, if I really want to talk about it, I don't have much time to learn these instruments, I have been learning these instruments for more than ten years. ”
"But you're still so young, aren't you?"
Chen Feng spread his hands and said, "Compared to those teenagers, I am already an uncle. ”
There was another burst of laughter.
After that, Alan and Chen Feng chatted very easily about some experiences in learning musical instruments, especially on the guitar, because Alan can play the guitar and his level is not bad.
In the end, Chen Feng and Allen each took a guitar and played the classic song "Hotel California" on the guitar together, and the two also sang together, and the effect was actually very good.
When the performance of the two ended, the audience stood up in unison, applauding, cheering, cheering and whistling, obviously completely impressed by the performance of the two. There is no doubt that this version of "Hotel California" by the two will become the most popular in the next period of time. This is also the first time that Chen Feng has sung someone else's song on a TV show.
After Chen Feng and Allen finished their singing performances, they all got up from the sofa and bowed slightly to the audience who applauded and cheered.
"Thank you, it's a great feeling. I didn't expect me to have such a popular day as a singer, which is much better than me being a show host. Thank you Long, he gave me this opportunity. Thank you. ”
Speaking of this, Alan was very excited and hugged Chen Feng warmly, and whispered in Chen Feng's ear: "Thank you." And the assessment of you just now, I'm sorry, I really didn't know anything about it beforehand. ”
"It's okay, isn't everything fine? ”
The two separated, held hands, and waved to the audience on the stage in unison.
"Thank you. Alan said loudly, "Although I am very reluctant, I have to say that this issue of the Allen Show is about to end." Thank you again and thank you Long for participating. ”
As soon as Alan announced this, there was a wail at the scene, and then there were bursts of "long" shouts.
"I'm glad to be here for the Ellen Show this time, and to have spent this wonderful time with you, and I will cherish it in my memory. Thank you, thank you for your support. ”
"The video of this episode will soon appear on our Ellen Show's official website. You can log on to our official website and click to play......"
At this time, subtitles had already been typed on the TV, indicating that the episode was coming to an end. By the time the letter was over, it was a TV commercial again.
On the side of the studio, Chen Feng had previously promised to sign autographs for the audience, so naturally he couldn't miss the appointment. Under the auspices of a group of program team members and security personnel, the audience lined up to sign Chen Feng's autograph.
There were more than 300 spectators at the scene, and Chen Feng's signing speed was very fast, and the signing activity ended in just ten minutes. After that, Chen Feng took photos with the audience in batches. After that, it was done in more than half an hour.
Before leaving the TV station, Chen Feng naturally met the autograph and group photo requirements of the members of the Allen Show program team. After that, I met with the senior management of CBS and several directors of the program team. Chen Feng finally met the planner of the Allen Show, a tall and strong white middle-aged man named Howard.
On the surface, he didn't see any hostility at all, and took the initiative to apologize to Chen Feng, who had not arrived before the show because of a delay. He didn't say anything about the final instrument assessment of the show.
Chen Feng simply shook his hand, said a few polite words, and then declined their warm dinner invitation and left the TV station. (To be continued......)
