Chapter 155: Defiling Art?
Because of Banderreis in front of him, everyone subconsciously thought that the person who was going to perform next would inevitably be a well-known figure in China, even if he was not an internationally renowned master. Therefore, as soon as the hostess's voice fell, they were full of excitement and didn't even think much about it, so they applauded vigorously.
In the thunderous applause, Zhou Xiaochuan stepped onto the stage and walked straight to the piano and sat down.
The applause stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Zhou Xiaochuan in front of the piano with wide eyes, their eyes full of surprise and dazedness.
At the same time, in everyone's minds, a question arose: "Who is this guy, why did he run to the piano and sit down?!" ”
Many people began to ask their friends and classmates: "Could this person be the next performer?" But why do I think he's so eye-catching? Is there such a young pianist in our country? ”
Someone remembered the introduction of the hostess just now, and said with a surprised face: "I seem to have heard the hostess say just now that the identity of this person is...... A veterinarian? ”
"That's right, I also heard the introduction of the hostess!" The people around him immediately took over the topic, and in addition to shock and confusion, there was also a trace of resentment on their faces: "How can a veterinarian appear on the stage of the celebration performance of our provincial conservatory of music?" We are not an entertainment talent show place such as 'Avenue of Stars' and 'Talent Show', but a temple of art! How can a veterinarian be qualified to come here to perform? It's nothing short of a stain on art! An insult to our Academy! The same insult to us! ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately received everyone's approval and response.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaochuan had not yet started to perform, he was questioned and boycotted by everyone, Ma Wenyu couldn't help laughing, and secretly said in his heart: "Good, good, good, everyone's emotions and anger have been ignited!" Now, even if Zhou Xiaochuan really has the ability, everyone will think that he is playing the piano randomly! In this way, Ou Yanling, who strongly recommended him, will inevitably be questioned, and there will be no way to compete with me for the position of dean. ”
Zhang Aijia in the backstage was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this moment: "How are these people doing?" Xiaochuan hasn't started playing yet, why are they questioning? And the words are still so ugly! This is the first time Xiaochuan has played in front of so many people, in case his mentality is affected by these people, then how can he play? ”
Ou Yanling also frowned, she couldn't sit still anymore, so she simply walked directly onto the stage, snatched the microphone from the male host's hand, and said loudly: "I invited this Mr. Zhou!" His profession is indeed a veterinarian! But that doesn't mean he doesn't know the piano or art! I have communicated with him, and in my opinion, his understanding and perception of art are above me! Originally, I wanted to invite Mr. Zhou to give a speech at our Provincial Conservatory of Music, but he politely declined. Therefore, I resigned myself and invited him to perform today at the celebration of our Provincial Conservatory of Music......"
Ou Yanling has a high reputation in the Provincial Conservatory of Music, so as soon as her words came out, her doubts about Zhou Xiaochuan weakened a lot. However, although the people no longer questioned it verbally, the doubts in their hearts did not decrease but increased.
After all, Zhou Xiaochuan is too young and too obscure.
"Ou Yanling, Ou Yanling, you are so stupid that you took the initiative to stand up for this kid. If it were me, at this time, not only how far would I hide, but also how far I would hide from him, but I would also have to do everything possible to get rid of this person......" Seeing Ou Yanling speaking for Zhou Xiaochuan, Ma Wenyu was overjoyed, and almost burst out laughing: "This time, even if I don't fant the fire in secret, you are not qualified to compete with me for the dean position again!" ”
At this time, Dean Duan, who was sitting next to Ma Wenyu, stood up and said to the teachers and students in the theater: "Okay, everyone, stop making loud noises, let's listen to this Mr. Zhou's piano solo first!" If you have anything to say, it's not too late to say it when you're done. ”
Dean Duan's voice was not loud, but after everyone's word of mouth, it spread throughout the entire theater in a very short time.
Everyone put aside the doubts and grievances in their hearts for the time being, and wanted to see how many catties and taels Zhou Xiaochuan had. The originally noisy theater suddenly fell silent.
Ou Yanling breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Zhou Xiaochuan and said, "Mr. Zhou, you can start playing." Hopefully, what just happened won't affect your mood. ”
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't speak, just smiled indifferently and nodded in reply.
In fact, his heart is not as calm as it appears on the outside.
Because his hearing is beyond ordinary people, he can clearly hear the doubts and even insults of everyone in the theater.
Zhou Xiaochuan has a good temper, but in such a situation, even a Buddha will inevitably be angry, let alone him.
Although he was angry, he didn't get angry on the spot, let alone jump to scold the audience.
Because he wants to use practical actions and facts to tell those who question him: You are wrong, and you are quite wrong!
Hidden under this calm and indifferent expression is Zhou Xiaochuan's heart full of unwillingness!
Lao Tzu appeared on this stage, is he tarnishing art? Is it insulting the conservatory, insulting you?
Phew!
What is Art?
Art is a cultural phenomenon and a special way of recreation in everyday life!
From the very beginning, art has not been a thing for the self-amusement of a few people who claim to be elites, it belongs to all mankind. People of all races, classes, and professions have the right to pursue art, and they also have the possibility to create art!
It's true that the snow is art, but isn't the lower riba person art?
Why are you standing on this stage, you are creating art. And when I stand on this stage, I am defiling art?
Since you look down on me, I'm going to open your eyes today!
Since you say I'm tarnishing art, let me 'tarnish' it for a while!
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xiaochuan put his hands on the keys and began to play.
Because he hadn't practiced the piano for too long, Zhou Xiaochuan's fingers seemed a little stiff and inflexible, and the piano music he played was also very jerky.
Hearing the tune played by Zhou Xiaochuan, in the theater that had finally quieted down just now, there was a burst of boos and laughter:
"Am you not mistaken? This guy plays the piano, which is at the level of a beginner. That's it, embarrassed to perform on stage? Can you also be on stage at our college's celebration performance? ”
"I thought this guy really had two brushes, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of rubbish...... Even the junior high school students I taught were higher than him! ”
"Just now, Professor Ou simply blew him up, which made me suspect that he was crossed by Beethoven, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky. Now it seems that it is a big disappointment...... I don't know, why did Professor Ou give this guy such a high evaluation? Could it be that there is something wrong with this? ”
Zhou Xiaochuan ignored these boos and laughter, and just buried his head in playing the piano.
No one noticed that Zhou Xiaochuan's level of playing the piano was constantly climbing at an eye-popping speed! Climbed! Climb again!
No, there was one person who noticed this.
He is the dean of the Provincial Conservatory of Music, a well-known music master at home and abroad - Duan Jingsen!
Looking at Zhou Xiaochuan, who was playing the piano on the stage, a smile appeared on the corner of Duan Jingsen's mouth, nodded slightly, and said secretly: "This young man...... It's kind of interesting. ”
Ma Wenyu didn't know what Duan Jingsen was thinking, but when he saw Zhou Xiaochuan making a fool of himself and seeing the excitement in the theater, he couldn't hold back the pride in his heart. It took a lot of effort to restrain himself from laughing, and he leaned into Duan Jingsen's ear and said, "Dean, this Zhou Xiaochuan's performance, I'm afraid it will anger everyone." Otherwise, let him get off the stage quickly and stop performing. Today is the anniversary of our college, and if something happens, it won't be beautiful. Hey, Professor Ou doesn't know what to think, why did he strongly recommend this person to perform on stage? What he said seemed to be for the sake of the school celebration, but in fact it was secretly provoking.
However, Duan Jingsen's answer surprised him: "Step down? No, let him continue to perform. Don't you notice that his way of playing the piano is climbing from jerky to proficient at a very fast pace? If I'm not mistaken, he's not playing at all, he's warming up. ”
"Practice...... Practice warming up? Ma Wenyu's mouth opened wide in surprise. If it was someone else, he would never believe it, and would even laugh at the other party's nonsense. But now, the person who said this was Duan Jingsen, but he couldn't help but believe it: "He actually practiced warming up on the stage of our college's celebration performance?" This is a bit too bold, isn't it? In addition to his surprise, a trace of worry also welled up in his heart. Although he doesn't think that Zhou Xiaochuan's attainments in the piano can be stronger than Banderis, he also thinks that even if there is only one possibility, it must be strangled in the cradle. Therefore, he spoke again and said, "Dean, he is clearly insulting our academy by doing this!" If you want me to say, it's better to get rid of him quickly! ”
Duan Jingsen's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "I said, let him continue to perform." ”
Ma Wenyu still wanted to speak, but unexpectedly, Duan Jingsen suddenly turned his head and glanced at him, and the look of insight into everything made his heart tremble.
"Old Ma, don't think I'm old and confused. I know exactly what's going on in your mind. When Duan Jingsen said this, his expression was very flat, but Ma Wenyu was so angry when he heard it, he only felt that a chill spread all over his body in an instant, and he was shocked into a cold sweat.
The frightened Marven hurriedly wanted to explain: "Dean, I ......"
Duan Jingsen interrupted him: "Don't explain, I don't want to listen, let's listen to this young man play the piano." If I'm not mistaken, his practice warm-up is almost over. I was curious and looking forward to his official performance. How many years have I not seen such an interesting young man......" As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to Zhou Xiaochuan on the stage, and really stopped paying attention to Ma Wenyu.
Poor Marvenyu, full of cold sweat and restless, wanted to explain but didn't dare to speak, how embarrassed and sad he was.
