Chapter 19: The First Electric Guitar
In the next test of music theory, notation, sight-singing and sight-reading, harmony, orchestration and work analysis, Wang Zixuan performed very well, only in music theory, harmony, and orchestration, but these shortcomings are normal in the eyes of all the instructors, if Wang Zixuan can really do all the aspects perfectly, then he is not a human being, unless it is God can perform so perfectly.
When Wang Zixuan finished the test, Ma He took the applause, and all the teachers and students in the school applauded their hands, music has no borders. It is the most heart-to-heart thing, and at the same time the easiest way to conquer others.
Wang Zixuan smiled and kept bowing to everyone, shaking hands with all the mentors, at this moment, he became the most famous person in Chesam, and he is Chinese, music can change fate, Wang Zixuan feels that his fate has changed.
Maher took Chesam's uniform and school emblem from a staff member and put them in Wang Zixuan's hand, and said: "For the previous rudeness, I apologize, you are a talented musical genius, Chesam will be honored because of you in the future, now you are a student of Chesham Music Middle School, and because of your excellent grades, Chesham will recruit you for free, no tuition fees, and the choice of major is also up to you, this is Chesam's first privilege for foreign students, congratulations, little Robert* wang。 ”
Wang Zixuan happily took the school uniform and school emblem, and said happily: "Yes, thank you for your appreciation, Chesham is the best music school in the world, I am proud to study music here, really, Britain is a beautiful country, Chesam is a beautiful school, I love it, I want to enter Chesam is the most important decision in my life, no matter how famous I am in the future, I think first of all I am a music student of Chesam, I am proud of it." ”
"Oh God, little Robert, you are so good at talking, it's so touching, this is the best voice I've heard since I became the principal, don't worry, in Chesam, you will definitely take off......" Mach said emotionally, although Wang Zixuan was a little suspicious of sycophancy, but he liked this sycophant.
……
It was almost noon, Wang Zixuan returned to the villa with Richard with a happy face, and Kate was holding George to tell fairy tales at this time.
"Hi...... Kate, this kid really succeeded, he conquered everyone, he's a genius, oh, hurry up and get ready, let's go to the restaurant to celebrate. Richard was very happy, it seemed that Li Bifu really didn't lie to him, his student really was a genius.
"Aunt Kate, look, Chesam's school badge and uniform, yesterday's bet, I won, next time I'm going to eat your pizza......" Wang Zixuan raised the things in his hand and said.
Kate was also full of surprise, and was stunned for a long time before she said: "Oh God, bless you, Robert, you really surprised me, okay, I think next time, I will make you pizza, but now Richard is going to the restaurant, only next time." ”
Wang Zixuan nodded, made a victory gesture, ran up to the attic with the school uniform, changed it in three or two, and then put on the school badge, and took a photo in front of the small vanity mirror, he found that this school uniform really suited him, wearing Chesam's school uniform, he found that he really had a temperament, and after staying in the UK for two days, the whole person's actions have become a bit British, yes, he looks handsome now.
Walking down from the attic, Richard and Kate changed their clothes, Richard was dressed in an old-fashioned suit, Kate put on a lace skirt and a lady's hat, and little George was also wearing a small suit.
Seeing Wang Zixuan walking down the stairs, Kate immediately covered her mouth and said in surprise: "God, Robert, if your eyes or hair are changed to gold, I think you are a prince charming who came out of a fairy tale, I didn't expect to wear a British school uniform, you have become so temperamental, I think, many beautiful little girls will be fascinated by you." ”
Richard also nodded appreciatively: "It's even better if you were born in England, I think you will definitely get the knighthood given by Her Majesty the Queen, haha......"
Wang Zixuan smiled and nodded, but in his heart, he thought that it was better to be a Chinese, his motherland was the most beautiful, some things were not exchanged for money and status, no matter how much he achieved in the future and which country he settled in, he was always a Chinese.
Richard then locked the door to the cottage and the four of them headed towards the nearby station and boarded a bus to the Themidland, a four-star heritage hotel built in 1903 in the heart of Manchester, close to the G-MEX Convention and Exhibition Centre, less than 1 mile from Padilly train station and 10 miles from Manchester International Airport.
The Midland Hotel has a good French restaurant, and Richard is going to take him to eat at this French restaurant, which is Richard's favorite western restaurant.
"Welcome to ......"
As soon as I stepped into this French restaurant, the two waiters guarding the door said hello, and after entering the inside, a waiter soon greeted me: "Hello, please come here......"
The waiter brought them to a table marked 13th in English, then took out the recipe and handed it to Richard and said, "This is our restaurant's specialty, what do you need?" ”
Richard motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said, "Four grilled steaks, medium rare, another bottle of brandy, three glasses of lemon juice......"
Wang Zixuan couldn't get used to eating medium-rare steak, so he had to interject: "My steak should be medium-rare, ok......"
The waiter glanced at Wang Zixuan in surprise, did the medium-rare steak taste delicious, but if it was superfluous, he didn't say anything, after writing the menu, he picked up the recipe and retreated.
Soon the steak came up, Wang Zixuan picked up the knife and fork and ate it, he is no stranger to Western food, he has eaten a few times in his previous life, and learned to use knives and forks, otherwise he will be embarrassed now, but compared with Little George, his skills in using knives and forks are still worse, who makes the family a native of the British.
However, there was a little episode in the process of eating steak, a waiter walked on the stage in the middle of the restaurant, cleared his throat and said: "Dear customers, today the manager of our restaurant will hold a small activity for everyone, the content of the activity is that we will prepare a box with many labels, and then our manager will pull out the label from it, and the number shown on the label is the same table, please choose a representative to come forward and play a song, if this singing can be satisfied by two-thirds of the people in the restaurant, Then our manager will list the table he is at and give him a guitar from his personal collection. ”
"Oh, yes, let's get started......"
"Yes, hurry up, I like this activity, the manager is so generous, I think that guitar ......"
"Sounds like a great idea......"
Everyone agreed, and Wang Zixuan also wanted to be able to get the guitar himself, so that he would save a sum of money to buy a guitar.
Soon a middle-aged man in a tuxedo walked up to the stage, drew a label from the label box, and read: "Thirteenth, oh, God, congratulations, let's invite our friends from thirteenth to perform on stage, applaud......"
"Bang Bang ......"
"I'll get on, I don't want that guitar......" Wang Zixuan got up and said.
"Is that okay?" Richard asked.
"Okay, don't worry, there's no problem......" Wang Zixuan said and walked onto the stage.
The middle-aged man in the tuxedo looked at Wang Zixuan in surprise and said: "Oh, let me see, it's a brave little boy, look at the school uniform on his body, it's a student from Chesam Music Middle School, but he looks like an Oriental, but, these don't matter, little guy, come, tell uncle, your name?" ”
Wang Zixuan said in fluent standard British English: "Hello everyone, my name is Robert Wang, I am from the ancient country of China, and I have just become a student of the Chesam Conservatory today, and I will play the song for you next......"
The middle-aged man said incredulously: "God, your spoken English is really standard, I feel like you are a local, it is not easy to have children like you in China, and it is even more powerful to be able to become a student of Chesam, okay, I won't say more about these words, come on, boy, what song are you going to perform......"
Wang Zixuan stretched out a finger and said: "What I want to sing is a personal adaptation of Queen's single "Wewillrockyou", the children's version, before playing, I need a guitar, play and sing by myself, the guitar that my uncle collects will do, and it will belong to me after singing." ”
"Okay, okay, I hope you can take it with you......" The middle-aged man said with a smile, taking an electric guitar with an ancient natural color lacquer from a waiter and placing it in Wang Zixuan's hand.
Wang Zixuan took a closer look at this old natural lacquered electric guitar, a thick mahogany neck, polka dot sound inlay logo, equipped with '57 classicpafreissue pickups, and Wang Zixuan found the guitar with its name "ES-335TDC" written on the stem, which is one of the most famous guitars in the world.
Gibsones335 is one of the top ten guitars in the world, and the 335 in 1959 is mature and stable, it is one of the highest rated and most collectible vintages, this guitar is the 355 produced in 1959, it is really a very good guitar, and after so many years, this guitar is actually so well preserved, it seems that this middle-aged man must have taken care of it, today I am afraid he is going to bleed heavily, of course such a good guitar has to be taken away.
Binding the strap of the guitar on his shoulders, Wang Zixuan took the guitar, although it was very heavy, but he could still bear it, tried the timbre, found the feeling, and then played it slowly, and at the same time hummed softly in his mouth:"

Wang Zixuan's perfect cute children's voice gently sang this beautiful and moving song, with the perfect rock melody shook the hearts of all the people present, and young people around the age of twenty or thirty followed Wang Zixuan emotionally, even the children and the elderly couldn't help shaking their bodies, and finally everyone simply got up and pushed away the chairs around them and sang......
