Chapter 27: Castle in the Sky

"Hurry up, 32 teach 101 lecture halls!!"

"Hurry up, if you don't go, you won't be able to grab the position!!"

"Ahhhh Teacher Qi Yuan, I'm here!! ”

"Will Qi Yuan really come today?"

"Hurry, hurry! There's really no place to go again! ”

At the Western Capital Film Academy, the students are still having lunch.

Suddenly, there was an uproar.

Qi Yuan, this afternoon I will give you a lecture in the big lecture hall of 32 Teaching 101!

This news immediately detonated all the students!

I have long known that Qi Yuan has become an honorary professor at the Western Capital Film Academy.

But in everyone's eyes, this matter is just going through the motions.

It's not that Qi Yuan's strength is not good.

And with Qi Yuan's busy work, how could he come to the school to teach everyone.

So although the classmates were excited.

But in fact, I didn't expect much.

But at noon today, there was suddenly news that Qi Yuan was actually coming to give a lesson to the students of the Conservatory of Music today!

"Is this really true?"

"It's true! The Conservatory has sent a notice! ”

"Then why don't you tell us about the Faculty of Letters?"

"I said that the content of this lecture was related to music, so I only told the conservatory!"

"It's not fair! This is blatant discrimination! As a member of the directing department, I must resolutely resist this practice of the school, students, where is Qi Yuan giving a lecture today, I will go to the scene to criticize the people of the organization! What the hell is going on!? ”

The news of Qi Yuan's arrival spread throughout the school in just ten minutes.

Students flocked to the room, only to find that the classroom was already full!

A lecture hall that can accommodate about 200 people can accommodate nearly 250 people at the moment.

Principal Tan Hua looked at the grand scene in front of him, and said to the person in charge of security: "This person is popular...... I had long guessed that the students would be so crazy, so I waited until today to give a short notice...... But this scene is still a little scary. Be sure to pay attention to organizing everyone later, and don't have any accidents like a stampede! ”

Classroom 101 was overcrowded.

In classroom 102 next door, it is relatively deserted.

Here, dozens of students from the conservatory are sitting.

The academy informed Qi Yuan that he was lecturing next door, and they already knew about it.

At this moment, they were all a little hesitant in their hearts.

Because here, at the same time, there is also an exchange meeting.

The exchange team led by Jefferson, a famous professor from Berklee College of Music abroad, came to the school.

"It's a little tangled, how can we all be together at this point in time!"

"Professor Jefferson is also one of my favorite bigwigs!"

"Ahh No way, let's choose Professor Jefferson! This is what our profession is related to! Although I really want to see Qi Yuan, he is a pop music after all! ”

"Actually, it's okay if you don't listen to Qi Yuan's class, but Professor Jefferson's exchange meeting, that's in this life, maybe it's just this once!"

The students are more entangled.

Liu Jianyi, the associate professor in charge of this exchange meeting, also came to the classroom early, saw more than 30 students in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yo! There are more than 30 people? I thought they were all going next door! ”

The students laughed.

"Teacher, it's not that we don't want to go over, in fact, we also want to go over, it's just that there are too many people over there!"

"Teacher, will there be a video of Teacher Qi Yuan's class?"

"I still love exchanging music with Professor Jefferson! Ha ha! ”

Liu Jianyi said: "Don't talk about you, I want to go to the side and listen to it." ”

Qi Yuan has written a lot of pop music, but Liu Jianyi's favorite is the song "Piano Song Five of the Night", which has been included in primary and secondary school music textbooks.

And because of the number of five in the back, Liu Jianyi's heart has been itching.

Because this five means that there are one, two, three, and four in front.

The first four tunes were what he wanted to hear.

But because he has never had the opportunity to communicate with Qi Yuan, this matter has always been pressed in his heart.

And today, I have the best chance to communicate with Qi Yuan.

So even if I want to communicate with the musicians in Berkeley, in fact, Professor Liu's heart has already flown to the next door.

The time came at half past one.

The noise next door is getting louder.

Professor Jefferson and his group of five walked through the aisle and saw the pomp and circumstance outside classroom 101.

"Wow! Professor, your popularity in China is so high! So many students came to see you! ”

"This number of people is really exaggerated!"

"It seems that the students here are very fond of music!"

The group of five people was amazed by the grand occasion in front of them.

This situation was a bit unexpected to them.

Although Professor Jefferson is indeed internationally known.

But it's also limited to the music industry.

The number of students in front of you is far more than the number of students studying music in this school, right?

Professor Jefferson is in his forties and is tall at one meter and eight.

He had snow-white hair, walked at the front of the five, and was quite proud to see the scene in front of him.

This music exchange in China, before it began, I have already gained a belly of physical and mental happiness!

"Professor, come and we'll go this way." The staff led the Jefferson Five, rounding the huge crowd.

This behavior made Jefferson's brows furrow suddenly.

Because there are so many people, you have to take a detour to get in?

Several people entered classroom 102 without hindrance, and the group greeted Liu Jianyi a few words.

Then the exchange meeting officially began.

Jefferson stood on the podium.

But at the moment, his people were a little confused.

Why don't so many students from outside come in?

Although there were dozens of people present, compared to the outside, it was too different, right?

Although he was very confused, Jefferson was still very professional, clicked on his PPT, played his own music, and then began to speak.

The students below also opened their notebooks one after another, ready to take notes seriously.

Liu Jianyi sat in the first row, and at the beginning, his mind was still on Jefferson's PPT.

But after a few minutes, the content of the other party seemed to be a very simple introduction to the other party's music research, and there was nothing particularly in-depth.

Liu Jianyi's mind flew away.

Now that the door is closed, the sound outside the door is not audible.

But look at the time, Qi Yuan is almost there.

This Professor Jefferson PowerPoint is a few years ago, right?

It's too old.

Although this big guy has achieved quite a lot of achievements in the music industry, his attitude to lecture is a bit perfunctory!

Jefferson stood on the stage and spoke slowly, and he felt that the expressions of everyone in the audience were not very serious.

It made him a little angry.

After more than half an hour, he finished.

Liu Jianyi took the lead and applauded.

But the applause seemed perfunctory.

There were cheers from time to time outside, it should be Qi Yuan's class, which tickled the excitement of the students.

"Professor Liu, I think you don't pay attention to this exchange meeting at all, and your attitude is very perfunctory!" Jefferson finally couldn't help it and spoke.

Liu Jianyi was taken aback by the other party's straightforwardness, and then explained: "Professor, everyone is listening carefully in the audience, probably because of the need for translation and paraphrasing in the middle, so it makes everyone sound not so smooth." ”

Jefferson reluctantly agreed with Liu Jianyi's answer, so he said, "Okay, let's move on to the second part, the part of free communication." ”

Jefferson looked at the students and said, "What's your favorite piano piece?" ”

Jefferson is famous in the world music industry because he has three tunes, which is very famous.

He looked at a short-haired schoolgirl and said, "Tell me about this girl?" ”

The girl stood up.

Suddenly there was a tsunami of applause next door.

Jefferson frowned and said, "Professor Liu, what activities are going on next door?" Can we change classrooms? If this continues, we really can't communicate! ”

Liu Jianyi nodded: "It's indeed a little noisy, okay, let's go to the second floor, there are still a few classrooms." ”

Everyone went out together.

Then, Jefferson's footsteps stopped moving.

Because he heard the sound of a piano in classroom 101.

Very beautiful piano sound.

And it was a very strange piano piece that he had never heard before, but it was very good!

Jefferson's cloudy old eyes lit up suddenly.

Looking at the crowd that was crowded layer after layer, Jefferson asked anxiously, "Professor, who is playing the piano inside?" Whether it's your teacher or your student, this song is so good! ”

In fact, Liu Jianyi is not calm now, Qi Yuan must be playing the piano inside, right?

And he hadn't heard this tune!

Could this be one of the songs in "Piano Music of the Night"?!

Liu Jianyi's heart was beating a little faster, and he said, "Didn't you just ask me about your favorite piano music?" ”

Jefferson looked at Liu Jianyi.

"Piano Song of the Night 5, one of my favorite piano pieces."

"What's this tune?"

"I guess you haven't heard of it. This piece was written by the person who was playing the piano in it! ”

"Really?!" Jefferson's interest has been completely hoisted.

Liu Jianyi was also excited.

The students behind him had already seen the stitches and drilled into the crowd.

So, Liu Jianyi also stood behind the classmates with Jefferson: "Classmates, please let me go, we are here to communicate with Teacher Qi Yuan, let's go in and thank you." ”

The students saw whether the teacher was leading a few crooked nuts, or whether it was difficult to turn around, and made a small aisle for a few people.

Jefferson finally saw who was playing the piano.

But by the moment, the man had finished playing.

Actually finished playing?!

I finally squeezed in, and he actually finished playing!?

Jefferson and Liu Jianyi felt that their mentality had collapsed!

……

Qi Yuan stood on the stage, looked at the full class of classmates and said, "This piece of mine just now is a piano piece that I usually like to play. I'll share my own things about music creation with you here, and you can ask any questions now. ”

Nearly 90% of the students raised their hands.

A piece of black pressing.

Qi Yuan looked at a boy in the front row with his back combed and asked, "This classmate, do you have any questions?" ”

The boy stood up and said, "Teacher Qi Yuan, I want to express it first." ”

Qi Yuan: "You say." ”

"I love your music so much."

"Okay, thank you very much for the like."

"My question is, how does Mr. Qi Yuan balance his works, in the two things of applause and applause?"

Qi Yuan looked at this classmate and said with a smile: "You ask this question, are you going to engage in music-related work in the future?" ”

The boy nodded and said, "I really like music, but if you just make music, you can't make any money." But I know that Mr. Qi Yuan is different. ”

Qi Yuan said: "To be honest, I haven't experienced this question of yours, because my works are both applauded and popular!" ”

"Wow!!" Hearing Qi Yuan's answer, the classmates immediately screamed.

Qi Yuan continued: "But I think that we actually have no way to preset your songs, whether they will be popular or not, and whether anyone will be willing to pay for your music." So just make your own music that you love is the best. Well, the next classmate! ”

This time, it was a female classmate wearing glasses: "Teacher Qi Yuan, I want to ask, in fact, you have created a lot of music in many of your film and television works, so you first had music and then created a script based on the music." Or do you have a script first, and then write the music last? For example, the song "Lemon", the theme song of your "Unnatural Death", is too compatible with the TV series, and it sounds super graphic. ”

Qi Yuan replied, "This question...... Actually, a lot of the time, the two come out together. ”

Qi Yuan quickly noticed Jefferson and his party standing at the door.

This middle-aged foreigner also raised his hand and wanted to ask a question?

Qi Yuan looked at Jefferson and said, "This foreign friend also has a problem?" ”

Seeing that he was finally noticed by Qi Yuan, Jefferson was more excited: "Hello, I'm Jefferson. Johnson, is a professor at Berklee College of Music. ”

Qi Yuan didn't react when he heard the introduction of this foreign old man.

The students sitting below were more excited.

"This is Jefferson, huh? Three tunes that have eaten all over the world! ”

"That's right! Today he also had an exchange meeting on our side, and I was also entangled for a long time, and finally chose to come to Qi Yuan's side! ”

"Isn't this big guy supposed to have an exchange meeting? How did you get here? ”

"I'm afraid I wasn't attracted by Mr. Qi Yuan's piano sound just now."

Qi Yuan didn't know the old man in front of him, but judging by the students' reactions, this old man should be a little famous in the music industry?

So Qi Yuan hurriedly said, "Hello." ”

Jefferson was a little surprised by Qi Yuan's calmness, judging from the other party's proficiency in the piano just now.

The other party should have studied deeply in the field of music.

Then there's no reason not to know yourself!

But the other party looks like this, and he doesn't seem to know who he is at all.

Jefferson asked, "Hello, I just want to ask, what is the name of the piece you played just now, and did you write it yourself?" ”

Qi Yuan nodded and said, "This song is called "Sky City". ”

"Castle in the Sky?" Jefferson said, "You wrote it yourself? ”

Qi Yuan nodded: "Yes." ”

"This piece of yours, although it is not difficult to play, but the whole piece is very good."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Jefferson was still a little unsatisfied and wanted to ask something more.

But Qi Yuan's gaze had already turned to the next student.

A student asked Qi Yuan about music creation.

Qi Yuan's answer was very simple, but it was thought-provoking.

Some students are asking how the lyrics should be written.

Qi Yuan replied, read more books, read more newspapers, walk more, and see the world more.

……

Every student's question, in Jefferson's view, is relatively simple.

But it's not so easy to answer.

But here in Qi Yuan, his answer sounds very simple, but if you think about it carefully, it really makes sense.

This highlights Qi Yuan's level.

The young man in his twenties, who looks like he is in his twenties, is so immersed in music?

Jefferson's curiosity grew stronger and stronger, and he said, "Professor Liu, is this the teacher of our college?" ”

Liu Jianyi proudly introduced: "Yes. This is Professor Qi Yuan from our college. ”

"Professor? Such a young professor? Jefferson was shocked, as were several people around him.

Liu Jianyi said with a smile: "According to his level, it is more than enough to be a professor." Didn't I just tell you that his favorite piano music was written by him. ”

As he spoke, Liu Jianyi took out his mobile phone and headphones and played "Piano Song of the Night 5" to Jefferson.

In just one song, Jefferson's eyes widened.

After listening to the song, he directly gave Liu Jianyi a thumbs up: "This Teacher Qi Yuan, I must get to know him later!" ”

Someone behind him reminded Liu Jianyi and Jefferson: "Two professors, do you want to continue our music exchange meeting?" ”

The thoughts of the two old men were long gone.

"You were distracted next door just now, couldn't you just be thinking about Teacher Qi Yuan here?" Jefferson asked.

Liu Jianyi's old face flushed and said: "In fact, in our exchange meetings, many times, the form is greater than the content. And aren't you curious? The piano music of the night, judging from the name, you know that this is a suite, don't you want to listen to the others? ”

Jefferson patted Liu Jianyi's shoulder excitedly and said, "Of course I want to!" ”
