Wang Mo briefly asked Edgar about the content of the music activities.

Edgar didn't know anything, he only knew that Kenneth was going to see a musical performance in the Broadway theater district today, and the details were not clear at all.

"I wasn't qualified to go."

Edgar explains, "Mr. Kenneth loves to listen to music, and he goes to see basically the big music shows around the world. Vienna Musikverein, Sydney Opera House, New York Broadway ...... in Europe These are the places he frequents. Because I happened to be in New York this time, I received an invitation from Mr. Kenneth to go. ”

Wang Mo asked, "What kind of music performances does Mr. Kenneth generally like?" ”

"Violin playing, piano playing, all kinds of big symphonies...... Wait a minute. I have inquired that he came to Broadway this time because he invited an internationally famous musician, who is very big, and I heard that he is only a line away from the position of an international master, so Mr. Kenneth put down everything and rushed over, and invited some friends to come and enjoy it. ”

There was a pause.

Edgar continued: "That's why Mr. Wang said just now that you want to go to a music event with me, I will be embarrassed. Because the last thing Mr. Kenneth likes is for irrelevant people to disturb his moments of music. I'm lucky to be invited by him, but he'll be displeased to see me take you there. But rest assured, Mr. Wang, you are a friend of Mr. Fernando and know music, and I think Mr. Kenneth will accept you. ”

Speaking of which, Edgar was still a little uneasy in his heart.

On one side are those who can ride in Fernando's car.

On one side is his immediate boss.

I can't afford to offend either side.

Now he can only pray that Wang Mo can really enter Kenneth's eyes after going to the Broadway theater, and there will be no unpleasant things between the two.

"God forbid."

Edgar touched the cross on his chest and said to himself.

Half an hour later.

The group has arrived on Broadway.

Many people think that the world-famous Broadway theater is just the name of a theater, but it is not. Broadway is a 25-kilometer-long street that runs from Battery Park in downtown New York City to Manhattan Island from south to north.

So Broadway isn't just one theater, it's dozens of theaters on one street.

It is also the heart of a wide variety of opera performances in North America and around the world, including musicals, musical comedies, plays, comedies, dance concerts, and solo shows. There are a lot of performances almost every day.

"Here."

Edgar pointed to an old and majestic building in front of him and said, "This is where Mr. Kenneth watched the musical today. ”

Wang Mo fixed his eyes on it: the Lysham Theater.

It is a landmark on Broadway Street and throughout New York.

Although Wang Mo saw it for the first time in reality, he has seen it many times in movies, because it often appears in various American dramas and movies.

"It's spectacular."

Wang Mo nodded secretly and followed Edgar into the theater.

Lots of space.

The interior decoration is quaint and luxurious.

Even Wang Mo, who had seen the world, secretly admired.

The musical starts at four o'clock in the afternoon, and there are more than twenty minutes left.

Although the theater can accommodate hundreds of spectators, only a few dozen people can sit inside.

Wang Mo glanced at it slightly, and found that these dozens of people basically had extraordinary temperaments. Men's suits and leather shoes, women's noble and beautiful. It seems that everyone is an upper-class person.

Obviously it's a high-end music event, so there won't be too many people.

Soon.

Edgar brought them to a Western man in his forties, blonde, blue-eyed, high-nosed, and dressed in a suit that was probably handmade and didn't have any brand name. The height of more than 1.85 meters is very oppressive, the curly hair is very individual, and the eyes are bright.

Seeing Edgar coming, the man only raised his eyebrows slightly, and then his eyes immediately fixed on Wang Mo and the others: "Edgar, who are these three?" ”

Edgar hurriedly stepped forward: "Mr. Kenneth, this is Mr. Wang Mo, he is a friend of Mr. Fernando." Mr. Wang Mo said that he had heard that you had come to New York, so he wanted to come and pay a visit. In addition, Mr. Wang Mo also has some research in music, so I brought him here without permission. We apologize for not communicating with you in advance, and we ask for your understanding. ”

"Huh?"

Kenneth frowned slightly, then smiled, "Mr. Wang Mo, right?" Sit. ”

He gestured to the place behind him, then stopped talking.

The attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.

Neither lukewarm.

It's just that when he turned his head to look at Edgar, his eyes were a little cold.

What Kenneth dislikes the most is that when he is enjoying music with his friends, there are inexplicable people outside involved, which will make him feel completely unhappy to enjoy music.

And now, Edgar has made this unforgivable mistake.

In his mind, Edgar's position as theater manager was already at the end of his life.

It's just because of his own self-cultivation that Kenneth didn't go crazy on the spot, and everything will wait until today's music performance is over, because he invited an international top-level pianist today, which is a legend who is only a thin line away from a piano master. So Kenneth didn't want to interfere with the big thing because of this little thing.

As for Wang Mo being a friend of Fernando?

What does it have to do with him?

His Kenneth's identity, status and strength are not below Fernando at all, and even for a gang leader like Fernando, he has some contempt in his heart.

What can a gang leader do?

So, Edgar introduced the young man in front of him to him, and Kenneth was only annoyed.

But after a while, Kenneth suddenly glanced at Wang Mo and the others again, and asked, "Which country is Mr. Wang from the East?" ”

Wang Mo smiled slightly: "Huaxia." ”

Chinese......

That's fine.

Kenneth's expression turned cold again, and he turned his head away.

Yuan Xiong said in a low voice: "Amer, Kenneth's attitude is a little wrong. ”

Wang Mo smiled: "It's okay. ”

Listen to the music first.

Because just now he had heard the theme of today's musical from the chat of several ladies next to him: piano playing.

Piano?

Wang Mo blinked.

For international piano figures, Wang Mo has done a little homework, and also knows many well-known pianists in the world from Zhao Shu, as well as the identity and status characteristics of the other party. So he wanted to know which big man was here today to be able to get Kenneth so solemnly received.

Edgar had already sensed the displeasure of his superiors, and he began to fidget.

After a while, Edgar felt that he couldn't sit still, and that he had to take the initiative, otherwise he would really have to roll up after the concert.

See that the live piano performance has not yet begun.

He took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Mr. Wang, how do you evaluate the quality of a piano piece?" ”

Since Mr. Kenneth liked music, he must lean on the other side's interest.

Wang Mo said: "To evaluate a piano piece is a very general question. In my personal opinion, there are several aspects that can judge whether a piano piece is good or not.

First, musicality, such as its melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre and other factors are the main points of evaluation.

Second: technique, the player's performance skills, whether they can fully express the emotion and artistic conception of the repertoire are also very important.

Third: expressiveness, whether the piano music is expressive, whether it can resonate and move the listener's heart.

Fourth: personal feelings, whether a piano piece is good or not depends on the listener's personal preferences. For example, some people like soft piano music, some like passionate and unrestrained types, and some like sad and sad types.

Therefore, to determine whether a piano piece is excellent or not, it needs to be considered comprehensively. But it is undeniable that as long as it can win the praise of most listeners, it is a good piano piece. ”

Edgar listened boringly.

However, Kenneth, who had a cold expression next to him, sighed, turned his head and looked at Wang Mo in surprise: "Mr. Wang still knows music?" …… Oh, I forgot, Edgar just said you know music. ”

Edgar's eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”

Kenneth glanced at him, and Edgar quickly shut up.

Wang Mo smiled and bowed: "A little." ”

Although Wang Mo said that he understood a little, Kenneth's attitude changed a lot, and he asked another question: "Since Mr. Wang is so good at piano, which pianist do you like the most?" ”

Wang Mo: "Master Christopher." ”

Kenneth looked interested: "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

Because he also likes this pianist the most.

Man.

Once you have a common hobby, the next communication will be much smoother.

As for piano knowledge and things, Wang Mo is probably stronger than anyone else. After all, in order to duel with the people of Fusang Country, he had already mastered this knowledge by heart.

So it was just a minute or two of talking.

Kenneth's eyes changed, because he found that the young man in front of him knew almost better about the piano than he did. It shook his heart.

After all, he himself is also a person who likes music, so he has spent a lot of effort on music, but this young man in his early twenties still overwhelms him in terms of knowledge and insight, which is really remarkable.

Beside.

Edgar was stunned.

He knew that Wang Mo had said to him that he knew a little bit of music, but he didn't expect that the other party really understood it, and he still understood it so well.

What is the origin of this person?

After you go back, you should investigate the details of the other party, otherwise this way of catching the blind is too torturous.

A few more minutes passed.

Kenneth listened to Wang Mo's witty words and profound insights, and gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Wang, I was negligent just now. I didn't expect there to be someone among young people who has such an opinion about music like you, which is amazing. Based on your words, it is also a rare talent to be placed in the Eastman School of Music. ”

With that, a smile welled up on his face.

Especially some of Wang Mo's words, which won his heart and made him have the illusion of seeing a confidant.

Wang Mo smiled: "You have been lifted." ”

Yuan Xiong and Hao Mingxing sat next to each other and didn't speak.

But the expressions of the two were obviously very playful.

Kenneth continued: "Mr. Wang, I would venture to ask, since you are so familiar with piano knowledge, do you also know how to play piano music?" ”

Wang Mo continued to smile slightly: "Yes." ”

Kenneth showed such an expression and exclaimed: "Mr. Wang is really amazing, I didn't expect to meet a handsome man today." Come...... Please, please! ”

As he spoke, Kenneth gestured to the spot next to him.

At this moment, Wang Mo was sitting behind Kenneth. Only guests who Kenneth considered honored would sit beside him. So when they heard this, the other people around showed surprised expressions.

Wang Mo thanked him, then got up and sat down next to Kenneth.

Just sat down.

Kenneth was about to say something, the red curtain on the theater stage had been slowly opened.

The show is about to begin.

Kenneth hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang, let's listen to the performance first, and after listening to today's piano performance, I will invite you to have a long talk tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, hoping to continue to hear your opinions on music." If you don't mind, I'd like to hear your piano playing, what do you think? ”

Wang Mo smiled: "It's an honor." ”

From the conversation just now, Wang Mo has confirmed that Kenneth is indeed a music enthusiast, which is really good news for him.

Soon.

The scene had fallen silent.

It's a private little theater show, so there's no curtain call or any other tedious process.

Swish!

The lights in the theater dimmed, and only a light fell from the stage on the central grand piano.

All the audience in the audience were all attentive.

Waiting for the arrival of the performers.

"It's coming!"

Wang Mo has been paying attention to the stage.

After a while, I saw a man in a suit and leather shoes come out of the curtain and go straight to the center of the stage.

At first, he didn't see anyone coming. Just think that the other party doesn't seem to be very tall, and it doesn't seem to be a Westerner, but an Easterner?

Brunette?

Yellow-skinned?

Finally, when the other party came to the light.

With the warm applause at the scene, Wang Mo saw the person who came clearly.

The next second.

His pupils constricted.

Yuan Xiong and Hao Mingxing, who were behind them, let out a low exclamation almost at the same time: "Is it him?" ”

Wang Mo's heart made waves.

Because the person on stage is none other than his old acquaintance: Jiro Miyata.

Wang Mo never dreamed that he would actually meet this person here.

His heart fluctuated, but his expression remained the same.

After calculating the time, nearly two years have passed since Jiro Miyata was defeated by himself. At that time, according to the bet, Jiro Miyata needed to teach in Central Yin for a year, and that was already over.

He vaguely remembered that during the year that Jiro Miyata was coaching at Yangyin, he had asked Wuyan for advice several times, but Wang Mo refused. The man was not angry, but continued to teach diligently for a year before returning to Fuso.

Listening to Zhao Shu, during the one-year period of CCTV, Jiro Miyata still studied piano music diligently, although he did not become a piano master, but he still made a lot of progress, and I am afraid that he has reached the first person under the piano master.

Wang Mo knew that with the level of Jiro Miyata, he was indeed only one line away from the level of a piano master. Although this line is like a moat, it can't stop the fact that the other party is a top international pianist.

After all, if you look at the world, a pianist can count them on one hand.

No wonder Kenneth took this concert so seriously, because Jiro Miyata's position deserves such an attitude.

"Let's take a look at how much progress Jiro Miyata has made in the past period."

A smile appeared on Wang Mo's face.

……

Center of the stage.

Jiro Miyata bowed deeply to the audience and sat down on the piano bench. Because of the stage lighting, he didn't see who was sitting in the audience.

Of course, he wasn't interested in watching it.

He just needs to put on a good show.

Today, Jiro Miyata is bringing a piano piece "Enlightenment" composed by himself.

This piano piece was composed during his one-year teaching in China, and it is about his own experience of life in that year. It was also in that year that he found that his piano skills, which had been stagnant for many years, had improved again. Although it has not made much progress, it has brought him one step closer to an international piano master.

He was pleasantly surprised and disappointed.

Because the closer he got to the level of the pianist, the more he found it difficult for him to cross that hurdle.

"Is it true that I will not be able to reach the top for the rest of my life?"

Jiro Miyata reverberated in his mind what the young man had said back then, and he fell into a daze for a while.

Thinking of that young man, Jiro Miyata was full of excitement.

He swore that he had never seen such a bewitching genius in his life, and the young man in his early twenties had composed piano music that made his teachers bow to him, and reached the realm of a master. Even the other party is not only accomplished in the piano, but also proficient in almost all musical instruments in China. It's just not human!

It's a pity that that young man has always been in China, so he is unknown internationally.

But Jiro Miyata is sure that as long as the other party is willing to step out of the world, he will definitely be able to make a great name in the world in a short period of time, even compared to some famous musicians in history.

"Alas......"

Jiro Miyata sighed in his heart and began to play.

"Enlightenment" is a deep Zen piano music, which can make people unconsciously sink their hearts, feel the mystery of nature between heaven and earth, and then sublimate their souls.

So after the release of this piano piece, it immediately caused a big storm in the world. Jiro Miyata once again became famous and was known as the first person under the piano master!

Many even call him a leading figure of the younger generation.

After all, to be able to achieve such an achievement at the age of about thirty is definitely a genius among geniuses.

However, every time a reporter interviewed him, Jiro Miyata solemnly stated that he was not a leading figure, and he did not deserve such a title at all.

Every time the reporter asked him why.

He said that there are many better people in the world than him.

Everyone thought he was modest, but he knew that he was not modest, but the truth.

At the moment, with his playing.

Kenneth and other celebrities in the audience all showed intoxication.

This is the life of the top class, enjoying the best quality resources in leisure time.

As for Wang Mo, he also secretly admired: "It's really good, Jiro Miyata seems to have a lot of perception in Huaxia, and he has stepped out of a path that truly belongs to him on the piano." Well...... Wait a minute, should I ask him for his tuition? ”

Soon.

The end of a song.

Because today is Jiro Miyata's special performance, he will perform several piano pieces next, including world-famous songs and his own piano music.

Almost half an hour later.

Jiro Miyata started the intermission, got up and returned to the side to pick up a glass of water to drink.

Only then did a subtle noise sound sound, with bursts of shock.

"Mr. Jiro Miyata deserves to be a top pianist, it's amazing."

"The first song "Enlightenment" really made me feel reborn."

"He's already a master pianist, right?"

"Not yet, but it's almost."

"You don't have to be a piano master to play so beautifully, so can you still play a piano master? When you can hear the piano master play, then life is complete. ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Aaron, you can really think about it. There are now four piano masters in the world, and they basically only come out to perform at major events in the world. So we can hear Jiro Miyata playing, so you can be glad. It's the highest level of performance we can ever hear. ”

"That's right."

“……”

Kenneth was equally impressed: "It was a great spiritual treat. Mr. Wang, what do you think of the piano music of Jiro Miyata's "Enlightenment"? ”

Wang Mo nodded: "It's really good." ”

Kenneth: "Just good? ”

Wang Mo thought for a moment and changed his words: "Then it can be regarded as excellent." ”

Kenneth was a little dissatisfied, after all, Jiro Miyata was invited by him with a lot of money, and he also admired Jiro Miyata very much. Such a genius is just excellent in Wang Mo's mouth?

If it weren't for the conversation between the two just now, Kenneth would probably have turned his face at this moment.

But he still frowned and said: "Mr. Miyata Jiro's "Enlightenment" can only get one sentence from Mr. Wang, so you might as well comment on it?" ”

"Good!"

Wang Mo said unceremoniously: "There is no doubt that the quality of the piano piece "Enlightenment" is very high, but Miyata Jiro has added a bit of a snake to the elaboration of the artistic conception. What is enlightenment? In Buddhism, enlightenment is a deep understanding and understanding of the nature of oneself and the world. It needs to be in absolute silence and invincibility in order to comprehend that transcendent state.

However, Jiro Miyata's "Enlightenment" has too many people and sophistication, so that he cannot transcend the outside world, which is a big failure. Secondly, he used such a piano piece to show the world a piano piece that comprehended the realm of life, and he was born with too much worldly energy, which was the second major failure. Thirdly, his enlightenment is only his own, but he forcibly imposes it on others, which is the third great failure. The superposition of the three failures makes "Enlightenment" stay at an ordinary level forever, and it cannot be compared with the master's works at all. ”

As he spoke, Wang Mo sneered in his heart.

Enlightenment?

The enlightenment of fart!

You, Jiro Miyata, have only been in China for a year, so you think you have learned Zen in China thoroughly?

He also named the piano piece he composed "Enlightenment", do you Miyata Jiro know what the real enlightenment is? Zhang Sanfeng's kind of transcendent character can be regarded as barely reaching the realm of enlightenment.

You, Jiro Miyata, are a layman, can you enlighten?

I was just able to barely say that I was excellent, and I was already giving enough face.

However......

Kenneth beside him, listening to his comments, his face gradually became frowning from indifference at the beginning, and was completely cold in the end.

Kenneth understood that the young man in front of him turned out to be a mouth cannon!

It seems that he has a lot of theoretical knowledge.

I guess that's all there is to it.

I can be regarded as blind, let the other party float, and even Mr. Jiro Miyata, the world's top pianist, can comment unscrupulously.

What a fearless person is the ignorant!

Mr. Jiro Miyata's "Enlightenment" work, which makes the piano world famous, can barely be regarded as excellent? Even a list of the three major points of failure?

How dare you!

Forget it, it's my own blindness.

Kenneth shook his head, deciding that he didn't need to be angry with a young man. When Mr. Miyata's piano performance is over, he will have the security guard drive him away.

However, just as he shook his head helplessly.

Jiro Miyata, who had just returned from drinking water, subconsciously glanced at the audience.

Because it was a break at the moment, the lights were lit up, so that Jiro Miyata, who was on stage, could clearly see the faces of every audience member in the audience.

It was this glimpse that Jiro Miyata was stunned in place. (End of chapter)
