As one of the world's top music artists!

In this kind of public recital, there is absolutely no etiquette and respect.

This is the basic cultivation of an artist.

This is also the reason why so many people in the audience raised their hands again and again, but they were ignored by Wang Cheng, but no one spoke up.

Because......

The people who come here are all music artists or people from the upper class, and they will maintain this basic respect and etiquette.

And Howard, the president of the world's top music school, and the top music artist, will maintain his reputation.

But now......

Howard really couldn't help it at this point.

It can be seen that the other top music artists from Europe and the United States around him are also flushed, obviously wanting to say something to vent.

All the eyes of the audience looked at Wang Cheng and looked at Howard......

I am looking forward to the first exchange of Wang Cheng's solo recital today.

Although Howard speaks English, most of the people on the scene can basically communicate without barriers, and Wang Cheng on the stage is also very proficient in English.

Hearing Howard's words, facing the eyes of the audience that seemed to be eating people, Wang Cheng still easily held the thermos cup, took another sip of water, and then closed the lid, then looked at Howard and said lightly: "What do you want to say?" ”

Howard breathed a sigh of relief, at least Wang Cheng was willing to open his mouth to communicate with him.

It's just that......

Wang Cheng spoke pure Mandarin Chinese, which he couldn't understand at all, not only did he not understand, but Charles and others around him couldn't understand it either.

Howard's face flashed with doubt, and then he said in a slightly pleading tone: "Mr. Wang Cheng, I don't understand what you said, can you please speak English?" ”

Wang Cheng gently put down the thermos cup, and said in a flat tone: "It's your business if you don't understand." ”

Wang Cheng still spoke Mandarin, although he answered Howard, but Howard still couldn't understand it.

Charles and Claude, Scott, Hanks, Muller and others were all full of helplessness.

It's okay......

Charles quickly said to Professor Heicy in the back: "What about the translation? Hurry up and find someone who can translate! ”

Professor Haixi immediately waved his hand at Zheng Yun, a genius player from the Demon Capital not far away, and said, "Ms. Zheng Yun, please act as a translator when you come!" ”

Zheng Yun was just a little transparent on this occasion, and she didn't have a chance to speak at all, not even a chance to sit in the front row, and at this time, she was suddenly named by Professor Haixi, and pointed to herself with a stunned face: "Me? ”

Professor Heixi immediately nodded and said, "Yes, hurry up!" ”

Zheng Yun stood up and saw Fan Yu not far away, Han Feng and other professors and leaders of the Demon Sound all looked at her frantically, and asked her to hurry up.

However, Zheng Yun looked at Wang Cheng with an inquiring look in her eyes, without Wang Cheng's consent, she didn't dare to go up and play the role of this translator!

After all......

Wang Cheng was just one step away from becoming a music giant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is now the first person in classical music in the world, she does not dare to be presumptuous.

Wang Cheng saw Zheng Yun, nodded lightly, and did not speak.

Zheng Yun almost jumped up with excitement in an instant, she knew that this was definitely a rare opportunity, and immediately walked from her seat to the front, standing in the first row and the empty seat in the middle of the stage.

Almost all the eyes around Zheng Yun were full of envy, especially Wen Yixiao and Zhu Ziqi, An Keru, Han Xiao, Lin Mi and others, all eager to go up and take their place.

But......

They knew that on this occasion, they did not dare to be presumptuous at will, not for fear of offending those upper-class people and music artists on the scene, but for fear of being disliked by Wang Cheng and leaving a bad impression on Wang Cheng.

Howard immediately said to Zheng Yun: "Please translate it." I would like to ask Mr. Wang Cheng a few questions! ”

Before Zheng Yun could speak, Wang Cheng on the stage said calmly again: "You can just say it directly." ”

Howard paused for a moment, and then came to his senses, Wang Cheng's English level should be good, but he didn't want to say it, he was slightly dissatisfied at the moment, but when he thought of all the works played by Wang Cheng just now, the dissatisfaction in his heart instantly dissipated, and he didn't waste time at the moment, and said directly: "Mr. Wang Cheng, may I ask, are all the works you played tonight composed by yourself?" ”

Since he had already relied on shamelessness to get the opportunity to talk to Wang Cheng, Howard simply pulled down his face and asked all the questions in his heart as much as possible.

Zheng Yun's lips moved, and she just wanted to translate, but when she thought that Wang Cheng could understand, she immediately shut up, and looked at Wang Cheng, also full of anticipation!

Everyone at the scene also stared at Wang Cheng, looking forward to the dialogue at the highest level of this world classical music festival.

Wang Cheng faced the gaze of more than 3,000 people, his expression remained unchanged at all, he was still so relaxed and casual, and his voice was still flat: "Yes!" ”

When Zheng Yun heard Wang Cheng's answer, her excited pretty face flushed slightly, and she immediately said it again in English: "yes!" ”

Although, everyone knows the answer.

Wang Cheng's performances of these works, each of which is absolutely a masterpiece, is qualified to become a classic, the next ten piano pieces are a complete and groundbreaking series, is a series of works that can prove the music giants, if it is someone else's work, who would be willing to be unknown to achieve Wang Cheng?

There are no such selfless people in the world!

Therefore, it can only be Wang Cheng's own creation......

It's just that they still want to get Wang Cheng's personal answer to be sure.

At this time, Wang Cheng's affirmative answer made all of them sure in their hearts, and the eyes that looked at Wang Cheng once again had a lot of worship and respect.

Howard also took a deep breath to calm himself down as much as possible, and asked again, "Mr. Wang Cheng." How did you manage to practice so many instruments to the top of history? How do you manage to create so many great works with so many instruments? ”

The scene became extremely silent again, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Cheng.

Charles, Hanks, Heicy, Heidi and others all wanted to eat Wang Cheng......

Wang Cheng still said lightly: "It's just practice, there's no secret!" You can do it with more practice! ”

Simple and easy answer......

Xu Chaohua, Tian Wen, Fan Yu and others all smiled slightly bitterly when they heard this.

Zheng Yun also smiled bitterly, and then said it again in English.

After hearing this, Howard, Charles and the others also smiled bitterly......

Who here doesn't know how to practice?

But......

They have practiced all their lives, but they have not been able to reach Wang Cheng's level.

Obviously, there is no answer to this question.

Because......

Everyone's talent is different, and the effect of practice is naturally different.

It's just that they all instinctively want to know if Wang Cheng has any special way.

Just like many ordinary people want to know if there is any special way for musical geniuses such as Heixi to practice.

It's just that in front of Wang Cheng, many musical geniuses and top music artists present have become ordinary people......

Therefore, after they got Wang Cheng's answer, they were only a little helpless and not too disappointed.

Howard immediately collected his mood and continued to ask, "Mr. Wang Cheng." I don't know much about Chinese folk musical instruments, so I don't dare to comment too much. However, the piano performance you just made is definitely the greatest piano performance in the last hundred years. You've got one foot in the ranks of greatness, why did you stop? I thought, you have the strength, the ability, to be one of the greatest musical artists, why don't you keep going? ”

This is the question of almost everyone who understands the art of music at this time.

Wang Cheng has already stepped into the ranks of music giants with one foot, why has he stopped?

Xu Chaohua, Fan Yu, Tian Wen and other domestic music artists, whether they are artists of folk music or Western musical instruments, all looked at Wang Cheng with doubts and expectations.

Chinese classical music and art are not welcomed in the world, because in the eyes of the European and American music and art circles, China is a desert area of music and art, and they do not admit that there is any music and art here, and a few people admit it only for profit, not sincerely.

If Wang Cheng can become a master of music and art and prove himself in front of the world, it will be an earthquake-like impact on the world and the field of Chinese music and art, and it will instantly raise the field of Chinese music and art to a higher international level, and add to the exchange and integration of Eastern and Western music and art......

This is good for both folk and Western music artists.

Can......

Why did Wang Cheng stop when he was about to kick the door?

Faced with thousands of pairs of puzzled eyes.

Wang Cheng didn't have the slightest pressure, didn't pay attention to their gaze, but turned around and continued to look at the instruments on the shelf, and then replied calmly: "I'm tired of playing the piano, I don't want to." ”

I'm tired and don't want to think about it......

Forehead......

All the people present who understood were speechless.

Zheng Yun paused for a moment, and didn't know how to translate for a while, because of this answer, she knew that it was a bit shocking, but Howard and the others next to her looked at her expectantly, Zheng Yun could only say helplessly: "He said that he had been playing the piano for too long, and he was too tired, so he didn't want to play......

Howard, Charles, Hanks, Muller and all other European and American music artists, as well as young geniuses such as Heidi, Phipps, Eva, Yunna and other young geniuses all had a dull look on their faces, staring at Wang Cheng's back with wide eyes.

They can accept Wang Cheng's answer that he is not ready, not enough to preach to the great master, and continue next time, or they can accept the answer that he is not in good condition and continue next time......

However, only I can't accept it, I'm tired, I don't want to answer like this!

Such an answer proves that Wang Cheng is really capable and has the strength to achieve greatness.

However, he didn't want to do it.

And this is the realm that generations of top music geniuses in Europe and the United States have been pursuing for one or two hundred years?

But this nineteen-year-old Chinese teenager obviously has the strength, ability, and opportunity to do it, but he doesn't want to do it?

Tired?

They don't believe it!

No one present believed this reason.

all thought that this was an excuse that Wang Cheng made casually.

A concert of one or two hours is nothing at all, and some musicians' concerts may last half a day, of course, this half-day is not always played by him, and there are many concertos, symphonies, etc., so there will be a lot of time to rest......

Wang Cheng's recital has only been a little over an hour and a half since it began, and although he is playing alone, for a nineteen-year-old boy, he will definitely not be too tired to continue.

Moreover, in the face of the temptation of the great musicians of the preaching, even if you are a little tired, what is the point?

If Howard gets such an opportunity, even if he is so tired that he can't lift his hand, even if he will amputate his leg at the end of the performance, he will continue to persevere!

Howard looked at Wang Cheng's back, saw that Wang Cheng seemed to start picking out other instruments, opened his mouth several times, and finally asked, "Mr. Wang Cheng, do you know what you missed?" You should have done great ......"

Wang Cheng didn't look back, and said in a flat tone: "Is this important?" ”

Does it matter?

This rhetorical question made everyone else in the scene speechless again and became extremely silent.

Zheng Yun whispered to Howard to translate - does it matter?

Howard was speechless again, and then stood there silent, and for a moment many questions and thoughts in his heart seemed to be unspeakable and meaningless.

It seems that what they have pursued all their lives has no meaning.

Zheng Yun stood in the middle nervously, wanting to leave, but she didn't dare to go, not knowing if this conversation was over.

At the same time, everyone else still insisted on raising their hands, wanting to get the opportunity to talk to Wang Cheng.

However, no one asked questions directly like Howard, and they all maintained etiquette and respect.

Otherwise......

The whole audience of 3,000 people is vying to speak, isn't that a vegetable market?

After a few seconds of silence......

Howard was a little disheartened.

However, Charles, who was next to him, touched Howard's shoulder and whispered, "Academy! ”

Howard came to his senses in an instant, remembering that in addition to his identity as a pianist, he was also the president of Curtis College, and he was also tasked with the task of revitalizing and developing Curtiss College. ”

"We are willing to hire you to be the first dean of our academy, and you will have all the powers that a dean should have, and you can determine everything in the academy. At the same time, I can call the shots and give you an annual salary of at least 10 million US dollars, and if you are not satisfied with the annual salary, you can negotiate again! ”

"I hope that our academy can become great with you, Mr. Wang Cheng......"

Anyway, he had already put down his etiquette and face, and Howard was also broken, and directly invited Wang Cheng as the president of Curtis College, and the conditions offered shocked the three thousand people on the scene.

However, this time......

It's like stabbing a hornet's nest.

The leaders and professors of several conservatories in China, as well as several of the world's top conservatories in Europe and the United States, are not happy.
