Chapter 161: The Mystery of the Music World
Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhang Aijia stayed in the end.
Because the teachers and students of the Provincial Conservatory of Music and the musicians who were invited were so enthusiastic, they enthusiastically surrounded Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhang Aijia in three layers inside and three layers outside. In such a situation, unless it is Zhao Zilong in the Nagasaka slope, he really can't rush out.
Since you can't rush out, let's stay. Anyway, I just put on a show, so I should take some advantage, right?
I have to say that Zhou Xiaochuan's mentality is really good.
The luncheon will naturally not be held in the canteen of the Provincial Conservatory of Music, although the canteen of the Provincial Conservatory of Music will not appear in the canteen of the Provincial Conservatory of Music, such as fried moon cakes with green peppers and fried oranges, but the taste is indeed very ordinary. So this luncheon was arranged in the Renzhao Restaurant next to the Provincial Conservatory of Music.
"Renzhao Restaurant? This name has been ......" Zhou Xiaochuan was shocked by the name of the hotel, and said to Zhang Aijia next to him with a smile: "If you don't pay attention to it, you have to mistakenly call it a 'scum' restaurant." ”
Zhang Aijia recited the name of the restaurant several times in her mouth, and laughed with a 'poof': "It's true." ”
"Mr. Zhou, are you really not thinking about it anymore? With your talent, you can definitely become a great musician like Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky! It's not impossible to even surpass them......" said this to an old professor at the Provincial Conservatory of Music. Since hearing that Zhou Xiaochuan did not plan to develop in the field of music, he and several other old professors were anxious, and they kept surrounding him to persuade him, wanting to make him change his mind.
Zhou Xiaochuan was annoyed by the fact that his head was as big as a fight, but he was not angry with these old gentlemen, so he could only smile bitterly, and Quan Dang didn't hear it.
To be honest, Zhou Xiaochuan didn't eat well at this lunch.
Not only because the old gentlemen have been annoying him in his ears, but also because the musicians have come to toast with wine glasses. Of course, toasting is just a means, a means to get to know Zhou Xiaochuan. Although with the help of mysterious energy, Zhou Xiaochuan has a thousand glasses of alcohol without getting drunk, but this frequent toast makes it impossible for him to eat properly. And what made Zhou Xiaochuan speechless the most was the internationally renowned piano master Banderris. This guy not only sat beside him with a dead face, but also wanted to communicate with him.
It's a pity that Zhou Xiaochuan's English is really not good, and Banderreis doesn't know Chinese, so when the two of them first started, they could only guess through broken English and Chinese plus gestures...... In the end, Zhang Aijia couldn't see it, and took the initiative to stand up and act as a translator for the two, which allowed them to reluctantly communicate. And this is what caused Zhang Aijia, who was also unable to eat well.
What Zhou Xiaochuan didn't know was that when he was having lunch, discussions about him were already filling every corner of the Internet, and it was really hot and couldn't be more popular. There are even several well-known forums that have been blasted by this sudden discussion frenzy!
The reason for this is that the teachers and students of several provincial conservatories of music uploaded and posted the video of Zhou Xiaochuan playing the song "Nature" on the Internet.
All the people who watched Zhou Xiaochuan's piano performance through the video were fascinated by the tactful and melodious sound of the piano, and were shocked by the scene of a hundred birds coming to the pilgrimage and a hundred birds singing. When they came to their senses, they let out a heartfelt praise and exclamation. However, in this piece of applause, there are still a lot of doubts.
Because of the poor relationship between the clarity and sound quality of those videos, some people who watched Zhou Xiaochuan's piano performance in the online video, although they felt that the piano music played by Zhou Xiaochuan was indeed very novel and very good, but it did not reach a height that shocked people's hearts and souls, let alone attracted hundreds of birds to come to the court, and hundreds of birds to sing. Most of the birds in that flock were also trained early. So in the eyes of these people, Zhou Xiaochuan's performance of "Nature" can only be regarded as a gimmicky performance, far from being a miracle.
Such doubts have also been approved by some people.
However, just when the doubts on the Internet were getting louder and louder, and even quickly turned into a farce of 'cracking down on fakes' and 'revealing secrets', the official website of the Provincial Conservatory of Music and the official websites of several provincial newspapers published a report on Zhou Xiaochuan's performance of the "Nature" song in the most conspicuous position on the homepage. These reports are not only pictures and texts, but also videos. The video officially released by the Provincial Conservatory of Music is not only a high-definition version, but the sound quality is also quite good, so that people can enjoy the shocking charm of the "Nature" song that goes straight to the hearts and souls!
As soon as these official reports and videos came out, the heightened doubts suddenly decreased by a few points.
At the same time, the well-known professors of the Provincial Conservatory of Music, as well as the well-known musicians who were invited, also gave high praise and evaluation to Zhou Xiaochuan's performance of "Nature" on Weibo through their mobile phones.
To have one or two prestigious professors or well-known musicians admire, maybe there is something greasy and hype. But in order for so many prestigious professors and well-known musicians to praise each other, it is necessary to have a strong real skill. You must know that most of these professors and musicians are well-known in China. There are even a few of them who are quite famous in the world. It's almost impossible to get these people to help hype it up.
At this moment, the doubts on the Internet suddenly weakened a little.
What really made the doubts on the Internet completely disappear and set off a frenzy of heated discussions is that several of the most well-known and authoritative music websites in the world have published reports on Zhou Xiaochuan's performance, and reprinted the performance video shot by the Provincial Conservatory of Music, giving Zhou Xiaochuan a very high evaluation, and even calling him 'Beethoven of the East' and 'the god of music descending to the mortal world'. At the same time, several internationally renowned musicians and critics wrote comments from the perspective of music and art after watching Zhou Xiaochuan's performance video.
In these criticisms, music critics, who have always been rigorous and stingy with praise, are surprisingly excited and generous. Words like 'perfect', 'miraculous', and 'fantastical' fill every corner of their review articles. So much so that the first reaction that comes to many people's minds after seeing these review articles is: "These music critics, could they all be bought?" ”
The reason why these internationally renowned music websites published reports about Zhou Xiaochuan's performance in such a short period of time is all due to Banderrise. This overly excited 'Swedish national treasure', as soon as Zhou Xiaochuan's performance ended, because he couldn't hold back the excitement and surprise in his heart, called his friends to tell about it. And those friends of his are basically internationally renowned musicians and music critics. These people all know that Banderreis is notoriously eye-catching, but now that he is so unsparing in complimenting a person, how can this not surprise them and make them curious? So, they searched the official website of the Provincial Conservatory of Music through the Internet and watched a high-definition video of Zhou Xiaochuan playing the song "Nature".
Their performance soon became the same as that of Bandereth.
In order to let more people know about this, they translated the report on the official website of the Provincial Conservatory of Music into English, German, French and other languages, and reprinted it together with the high-definition video. Because when reprinting and writing review articles, their hearts are still immersed in the soul-shaking song "Nature", so those words of praise that make people feel a little numb will be filled between the lines.
Because of the development of the Internet, the reports and review articles published on these internationally renowned and authoritative music websites were quickly translated into Chinese and transmitted back to several well-known forums in China...... At the same time, several well-known portals have also published this news in the most conspicuous position on the homepage.
As a result, the already weakened doubts on the Internet completely disappeared at this moment.
Jokes aside, even internationally renowned and authoritative music websites reported on the performance, and praised it as a 'miracle show of oriental genius', and even those internationally renowned music critics who were above the top and scolded every day praised the performance uncharacteristically. The words of praise were used one by one, which made us onlookers blush and be embarrassed. In such a situation, what is there to question?!
As a result, the video of Zhou Xiaochuan playing the song "Nature" has become the fastest climbing video on all video websites. And the discussion about this video and about Zhou Xiaochuan has also reached a peak at this moment!
However, just when everyone sighed: "Our country can finally produce a piano master who is famous for the times and is famous for the ages", another bomb-like news appeared on the Internet: "According to reliable sources, Mr. Zhou said after the performance that he has no intention or interest in developing in the music industry!" ”
At first, everyone thought it was fake news, but after the professor of the Provincial Conservatory of Music confirmed it on Weibo, the originally lively Internet was quiet for a few minutes.
Immediately after, there was a new wave of hot buzz!
Everyone is speculating and discussing, why doesn't Zhou Xiaochuan, who has superb piano skills and extraordinary talent, continue on the road of music?
A few years later, this question has even become a very famous mystery in the world music industry!
