This star doesn’t work overtime

Chapter 310 308. I’m tired and don’t want to think about it anymore! Public invitation!

As one of the world's top music artists!

In such a public setting where someone else is performing, etiquette and respect will definitely be maintained.

This is the basic accomplishment of an artist.

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

because……

Those who come here are all music artists or upper-class people, and they will maintain such basic respect and etiquette.

And as the president of the world's top music school like Howard, who is also the top music artist, he will maintain his reputation.

But now...

Howard really couldn't help it at this time.

It can be seen that the other top music artists from Europe and the United States around him are also flushed with suppressed emotions, and they obviously want to say something to vent their anger.

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

Looking forward to the first exchange of words at Wang Cheng’s solo concert today.

Although Howard spoke English, most people at the scene could basically communicate with each other on a daily basis without any barriers. Wang Cheng on the stage was also very proficient in English.

After hearing Howard's words and facing the cannibalistic looks in the audience, Wang Cheng still held the thermos cup easily, took another sip of water, then closed the lid, then looked at Howard and said lightly: " What do you want to say?"

Howard was slightly relieved. At least Wang Cheng was willing to communicate with him.

only……

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

Howard's face flashed with confusion, and then he said with a slightly pleading tone: "Mr. Wang Cheng, I don't understand what you are saying. Can you please speak English?"

Wang Cheng put down the thermos cup gently and said in a calm tone: "It's your fault that you don't understand."

Wang Cheng still spoke Mandarin. Although he was answering Howard, Howard still couldn't understand him.

Charles, Claude, Scott, Hanks, Mueller and others all looked helpless.

The good thing is...

Charles quickly said to Professor Haixi behind him: "Where is the translator? Hurry up and find someone who can translate!"

Professor Haixi immediately waved to Zheng Yun, a talented player from Shanghai not far away, and said, "Ms. Zheng Yun, please be the translator when you come!"

Zheng Yun was just a little transparent on this occasion. She had no chance to speak at all, or even a chance to sit in the front row. At this moment, she was suddenly called by Professor Haixi, who pointed at herself with a blank look on her face: "Me?"

Professor Haixi 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 Moyin all gave her crazy winks and told her to come up quickly.

However, Zheng Yun looked at Wang Cheng with questioning eyes. Without Wang Cheng's consent, she would not dare to play the role of translator!

after all……

Wang Cheng was just one step away from becoming a music giant. It would be no exaggeration to say that he is now the number one classical music person in the world, but she does not dare to be presumptuous.

Wang Cheng saw Zheng Yun, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

Zheng Yun almost jumped up with excitement. She knew that this was definitely a rare opportunity, so she immediately walked from her seat to the front and stood in the empty seat between the first row and the stage.

Almost everyone around looked at Zheng Yun with envy in their eyes, especially Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, An Keru, Han Xiao, Lin Mi and others, who all wanted to take their place.

But……

They knew that they would not dare to act recklessly on such occasions, not because they were afraid of offending the upper class people and music artists present, but because they were afraid of being disliked by Wang Cheng and leaving a bad impression on him.

Howard immediately said to Zheng Yun: "Please translate. I want 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."

Howard was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Wang Cheng's English level should be pretty good, but he just didn't want to say it. He felt slightly dissatisfied at the moment, but thinking of all the works Wang Cheng had just played, the dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated instantly, and he didn't waste time at the moment, directly Said: "Mr. Wang Cheng, may I ask, are all the works you perform tonight composed by yourself?"

Now that he had gained the opportunity to talk to Wang Cheng through shamelessness, Howard simply lowered his face and asked as many questions as possible.

Zheng Yun moved her lips and was about to translate, but when she thought that Wang Cheng could understand, she immediately shut up and looked at Wang Cheng with expectation!

Everyone at the scene was also staring at Wang Cheng, looking forward to the highest level dialogue in this world classical music and art festival.

Facing the gazes of more than 3,000 people, Wang Cheng's expression did not change at all, he was still so relaxed and casual, and his voice was still calm: "Yes!"

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

Although, everyone knows this answer well.

Each of these works performed by Wang Cheng is absolutely a masterpiece and is qualified to become a handed down classic. The following ten piano pieces are a complete and groundbreaking series. They are a series of works that can prove the master of music. If it is Among other people's works, who would be willing to remain unknown to achieve Wang Cheng's success?

There is no such selfless person in the world!

Therefore, it can only be created by Wang Cheng himself...

However, they still wanted to get Wang Cheng's personal answer to be sure.

At this time, Wang Cheng's affirmative answer made all of them feel certain, and they looked at Wang Cheng with more admiration and respect again.

Howard also took a deep breath, calmed himself down as much as possible, and asked again: "Mr. Wang Cheng, how do you practice so many instruments to the top level in history? How do you create so many music with so many instruments?" Excellent work?"

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

The eyes of everyone including Charles, Hanks, Haixi, and Heidi wanted to eat Wang Cheng...

Wang Cheng still said relaxedly: "It's just practice, there is no secret! You can do it if you practice more!"

Simple and easy answer…

Xu Chaohua, Tian Wen, Fan Yu and others all smiled bitterly after hearing this.

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

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

Who here doesn’t know how to practice more?

but……

They have practiced for a lifetime, but they have not been able to reach Wang Cheng's level.

There is obviously no answer to this question.

because……

Everyone's talents are different, and the effects of practice will naturally be different.

However, they all instinctively wanted to know if Wang Cheng had any special method.

Just like many ordinary people want to know whether musical geniuses such as Haixi have any special practice methods.

However, in front of Wang Cheng, many music geniuses and top music artists present turned into ordinary people...

Therefore, after they received this answer from Wang Cheng, they were only slightly helpless and not too disappointed.

Howard immediately calmed down and continued to ask: "Mr. Wang Cheng. I don't know much about China's national musical instruments, so I dare not comment too much. However, your piano performance just now is definitely the greatest piano performance in the past hundred years. , no one. You have already stepped into the ranks of greatness, why did you stop? I think you have the strength and ability to become one of the greatest music artists, why don't you keep moving forward?"

This is the question asked by almost everyone who knows music and art on the scene at this time.

Wang Cheng has already stepped into the ranks of music giants, why did he stop?

Domestic music artists such as Xu Chaohua, Fan Yu, Tian Wen, whether they are folk music or Western instrument artists, all looked at Wang Cheng with doubts and expectations. On this matter, both of them were unanimous and hoped that Wang Cheng Can become a music master and raise Chinese music art to a higher level.

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

If Wang Cheng can become a music and art giant and prove himself in front of the whole world, it will have an earthquake-like impact on the world and the Chinese music and art field. He can instantly elevate the Chinese music and art field to a higher international level and increase the The exchange and fusion of Eastern and Western music and art...

This is good for both folk and Western instrument music artists.

Can……

Why did Wang Cheng stop at the last moment?

Faced with thousands of pairs of doubtful eyes.

Wang Cheng didn't feel any pressure and didn't pay attention to their looks. Instead, he turned around and continued to look at the instruments on the shelf, and then calmly replied: "I'm tired of playing the piano, so I don't want to think about it anymore."

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

Forehead……

Everyone present who understood was speechless.

Zheng Yun was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to translate it, because she knew this answer was a bit shocking, but Howard and others next to her looked at her expectantly. Zheng Yun could only say helplessly: "He said playing the piano It’s been too long, I’m too tired, and I don’t want to play anymore…”

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

They can accept Wang Cheng's answer that he is not ready and not enough to become a master, so he will continue next time, or they can accept his answer that he is not in good condition, so he will continue next time...

However, the only thing I can't accept is that I'm tired and don't want to give such an answer!

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

But, 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 the past one or two hundred years?

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

tired?

They don't believe it!

No one here believed this reason.

Everyone thought this was a random excuse made by Wang Cheng.

One or two hours of a concert is nothing at all. Some performers' concerts may last half a day. Of course, this half-day is not always performed by him alone. There are also many concertos, symphonies, etc. There will be a lot of time for rest...

It has only been a little over an hour and a half since Wang Cheng's concert started. Although he was soloing alone, for a nineteen-year-old boy, he would never be too tired to continue.

Moreover, in the face of the temptation of enlightened masters and musicians, what does it matter if you are a little tired?

If Howard was given such an opportunity, he would continue to persevere even if he was too tired to lift his hand, even if his leg would be amputated after the performance!

Howard looked at Wang Cheng's back and saw that Wang Cheng seemed to be starting to pick other instruments. He opened his mouth several times and finally asked: "Mr. Wang Cheng, do you know what you missed? You should have achieved greatness... "

Wang Cheng did not look back and said in a calm tone: "Is this important?"

Does it matter?

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

Zheng Yun translated to Howard in a low voice - is this important?

Howard was speechless again, and then stood there in silence. For a while, many questions and thoughts in his heart seemed to be unspeakable and meaningless.

It seems that what they have been pursuing all their lives has no meaning anymore.

Zheng Yun stood in the middle uneasily, wanting to leave, but she didn't dare. She didn't know if the conversation was over.

At the same time, everyone else still insisted on raising their hands, hoping for a chance to talk to Wang Cheng.

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

otherwise……

There were three thousand people in the audience, all scrambling to speak. Isn’t that a vegetable market?

After a few seconds of silence...

Howard was a little frustrated.

However, Charles next to him touched Howard's shoulder and whispered: "College!"

Howard suddenly woke up and remembered that in addition to being a pianist, he was also the dean of Curtis College and was also responsible for the revitalization and development of Curtis College. He mustered up his courage again and continued: "Mr. I would like to extend an invitation to you in my capacity as President of Curtis College.”

"We are willing to hire you to be the first dean of our college, with all the powers that a dean should have. You can determine everything in the college. At the same time, I can make the decision and give you an annual salary of at least ten million US dollars. If you If you are not satisfied with the annual salary, you can still negotiate!”

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

Anyway, having put aside etiquette and face, Howard also broke the rules and directly extended an invitation to Wang Cheng as the dean of Curtis College. The conditions he extended shocked the three thousand people present.

However, this time...

It's like poking a hornet's nest.

Leading professors from several music conservatories in China, as well as several of the world's top music conservatories in Europe and the United States, are unhappy.
