Debuting After Eight Years of Time Travel: 256. World tour invitation? Add a show! (Please subscribe!)
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter that took eight years to debut!
Taylor is almost a completely different person from the last time he was at the Magic Sound Exchange Meeting.
The quiet and artistic atmosphere is much weaker, replaced by an aristocratic atmosphere developed since childhood, and a kind of self-confidence in the bones.
Sure enough.
There are no poor people who study art.
Not to mention the rich and powerful, at least the middle class is required to cultivate a professional art student. Children from ordinary families can only have an artistic hobby at most, and it is impossible to truly study in the field of art, which is too expensive.
Taylor drove the car, took off his sunglasses, and said: "I usually keep a low profile, but today I dressed up to see you. How do you think? Does it look good?"
Wang Qian smiled and said nothing, and took a look at Taylor who was driving. He looked slightly stunning from the side, and his purple hair gave him a sense of mystery.
Qin Xuerong smiled and said: "It looks good! It looks much better than the last time at the Magic Sound Exchange Meeting."
Taylor smiled and said: "You are also very good-looking. Wang Qian can't bear to take a step away from you, which shows that you are very charming."
Hearing this, Qin Xuerong leaned on Wang Qian's shoulder, with happiness on his face: "Thank you! Taylor, are you from Los Angeles?"
Taylor nodded: "Yes, I grew up in Los Angeles. My parents are in business. My mother is Chinese and my father is French, so I am half Chinese."
Qin Xuerong: "No wonder you speak Chinese so well."
Tyler: "It's okay, not very good. My mother has found a Chinese teacher for me since I was a child, saying that I can't forget the Chinese mother tongue. I study very seriously, so I can communicate with you every day. But , that is, I can only communicate. If it is too difficult, I can’t understand it. For example, I can’t understand the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel that Wang Qian released a few days ago. It’s too profound.”
“I read the information on the Huaxia Internet, and the evaluation of this novel is very high. Tens of millions of people subscribe online, and I also paid to subscribe, but I can’t understand it very well. The ancient Chinese dialogue method makes it very interesting. I don’t feel comfortable with it!”
Wang Qian: "Then just look it up in the dictionary and read it at the same time. Maybe you can improve your Chinese cultural level."
Tyler: "Haha, I did do it, it was difficult! I hope you can publish a book in vernacular in the future, so that I can understand it."
Wang Qian agreed: "There will be."
Taylor added: "Perhaps, you can also translate this novel into English. Judging from its popularity in China, it may also be very popular in Europe and the United States."
Wang Qian smiled: "It depends on whether there is time in the future, not necessarily!"
In the world of the previous life, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was also well-known in Europe and the United States, but it was not very popular. Many Europeans and Americans read the translation and said that the strategy in it was too difficult to understand!
Taylor: "However, I can't understand your novel. However, I can understand your ancient poems. After all, there are not many words. I can understand them even if I look them up word by word. They are all very Great work. I showed your ancient poems to my mother, and she said you were a literary genius."
Wang Qian: "Thank you, auntie, for the compliment."
Taylor: "She also said she would invite you to her house for dinner next time. I said you were very busy and had no time. By the way, my mother also likes your calligraphy. Her birthday is in two months. Can I ask you to write me a picture? I want to give it to my mother as a birthday gift. I think she will be very surprised."
"She watched your calligraphy videos on the Internet and said that you are a contemporary master calligrapher and the number one contemporary Chinese calligrapher. It is amazing!"
This is a compliment.
Wang Qian felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Thank you, auntie, for the compliment. If you have time, I will write you a calligraphy."
Taylor said excitedly: "That's great, thank you. When your game is over, I will invite you to play at my house. My mother is very hospitable, especially my friends, who are also friends from China, she will be very welcome. You."
Wang Qian was even more embarrassed. He was too enthusiastic, but he did not agree. He just said: "We will see the situation at that time. If you have time, you can go and sit down."
Tyler: "Then it's settled"
Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, I haven’t decided yet!
Qin Xuerong also blinked and looked at Wang Qian and then at Taylor. She also felt that Taylor was a little too enthusiastic, so she held Wang Qian's hand harder.
While chatting.
The car arrived at a Chinese restaurant that Qin Xuerong had reserved in advance. It was not the kind of Chinese restaurant that pretends to be a Chinese restaurant but is actually a Chinese fast food restaurant. It is a real Chinese restaurant that serves Chinese hometown cuisine and is the highest standard in Los Angeles. This is a Chinese restaurant where only those who are rich or expensive eat here. In the Chinese circle, it is the representative of exquisite hometown cuisine. A meal can cost as little as a few hundred dollars or as much as thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. Most people can't afford it. .
Taylor knew the way and led Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong to a quiet small box on the second floor. He invited Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong to sit down and said enthusiastically: "I used to eat here often and like to eat Sichuan food. You guys What? All kinds of Chinese dishes can be made here, and they all taste authentic."
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong sat down casually. They are both people who have seen the world. One has been born in two generations and can see everything casually. The other has grown up in a wealthy family and has seen everything. Those who have eaten it will naturally not care about this.
Qin Xuerong picked up the menu and said, "Let me take the order. I am usually responsible for Wang Qian's food and daily life. I know exactly what he likes to eat."
Wang Qian nodded, looked at Taylor and said, "I heard that you are going to play piano music at Staples tomorrow?"
Taylor smiled sheepishly: "Sure enough, you still found out. I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just wanted to give you a surprise. The program team invited me several times this year, but I declined them all. A few days ago You invited me again, and I agreed. I will play your song "Girl's Prayer" and the program team will pay you the copyright fee."
The copyright fee for this kind of stage is definitely not cheap.
Wang Qian didn't care about this and asked softly: "How many concerts have you held in North America?"
The program team enthusiastically invited Taylor to perform. Wang Qian guessed that Taylor must have accumulated a lot of fame in North America recently.
Taylor said with a little pride: "Five shows! I have been preparing for it since Moyin returned to North America. After two months of preparation, I tentatively held a show, mainly playing a few of your songs, and the response was very good. Okay. Everyone liked your music very much. Then I opened three shows in New York and two in Los Angeles, and they were very successful."
Wang Qian has not paid attention to news in the field of classical music recently, and Taylor has not informed him of this news, so he does not know.
Taylor continued: "The performances in North America are temporarily over. I will officially start a world tour next month. The first stop will be to China for five performances, two in Shanghai, two in Beijing, and one in Yangcheng. Then I will go to Europe to perform ten shows, and finally return to North America to perform three shows, and that’s it!”
"This is just a preliminary plan. If there is a strong response midway, one or two games may be temporarily added in some places."
Tyler briefly talked about his plans for a world tour.
Although she said it simply, her tone was full of excitement, and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes, looking forward to Wang Qian's praise.
In front of Wang Qian, she did not show any pride, even though this kind of achievement is already very successful among young pianists.
Because she knew that her piano skills were not as good as those of Wang Qian, so she had no reason to be proud.
Wang Qian clapped his hands gently and said in admiration: "Awesome!"
Taylor smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you for the compliment. In fact, if you are willing to perform in public, you will be recognized by everyone more than me! Although my performance has been praised by many people, it has also been praised by several authoritative classical music media Ranked as the number one young pianist in North America. But I know that I am not as good as you. My teacher also said that there is still a big gap between me and you."
Taylor looked at Wang Qian and said seriously: "If you are willing! You can be a guest performer at any of my fifteen performances in China and Europe, and you can play any music you want. I can Let the organizer help you promote it”
Taylor really wants to help Wang Qian so that Wang Qian's piano skills can be more recognized.
She and He Chaohui have similar ideas, and do not want Wang Qian’s piano and classical music talents to be buried.
She knows her own level. Even though her talent is good and her talent is considered to be among the best in the world, she still cannot afford the title of the first young pianist. This is more because of the bonus points brought by Wang Qian's several piano pieces. After all, Everyone is used to listening to those familiar songs, and when a few fresh, extremely beautiful and high-quality piano pieces suddenly appear, they will be surprised, and they will naturally give them more recognition.
If
Wang Qianeng can concentrate on developing in the field of piano.
She believes that Wang Qian can get more recognition faster.
Maybe
Maybe he will become a world-class piano master in a few years.
Because she knew that Wang Qian himself had this kind of strength.
A person with the ability of a world-class pianist has been willing to remain unknown for so many years.
Taylor feels it is a pity that this is a loss for her and the entire world of piano.
Before Wang Qian spoke, Qin Xuerong, who had ordered the dishes, handed the menu to Taylor and said with a smile: "Wang Qian has his own ideas. I will never give him advice, I will only cooperate with him. Thank you for your support to Wang Qian Qian's concern, but he has many other things to do now and may not have time to attend so many of your performances."
Wang Qian looked at Taylor and said: "Yes, Xuerong is right. I have been too busy recently and may not have time to go on tour with you. For your performances in China, I can go to Magic City at most If you are a guest, more people may not be able to go. Thank you for your kindness.”
After the The Voice competition, Wang Qian went back to rectify the Xuehong Entertainment company. This is already an urgent matter. Xuehong Entertainment has just changed hands. The internal struggle is very fierce. A lot of things are waiting for him as the boss. If you put it off for too long, it might be completely ruined.
The establishment of Haidilao Catering Company also needs to formulate a development strategy, which cannot be delayed. Now is the golden development period of Haidilao, and it cannot be delayed.
I also need to prepare for the release of my new album
There is still the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that needs to be completed, and then there is the matter of publishing
I also agreed to give lectures at Yangyin University and Beijing University
Wang Qian feels that he will be very busy for a long time.
It’s simply too much to do.
Where do you have time to attend Taylor's tour?
And
Tell the truth.
He will not ride on Taylor's popularity to accumulate fame in the piano field.
If he really wants to develop the piano, he will only rely on himself.
Taylor smiled unnaturally, covering up his embarrassment, took the menu, lowered his head to order, and continued: "Okay then."
Taylor's eyes flashed with thought, and he quickly understood why Qin Xuerong had such a good relationship with Wang Qian!
Because
Qin Xuerong will only cooperate with Wang Qian.
Maybe you are too strong?
Tyler quickly adjusted his mentality, looked at Qin Xuerong, remembered all the dishes Qin Xuerong ordered on the menu, ordered two more, and asked the waiter to take away the menu.
The food came quickly.
Taylor is indeed a regular customer here. The chef and manager of the restaurant came over to chat with Taylor for a few words. They didn't know Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong, so they just greeted him politely.
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong didn't eat too much. Although the taste was indeed good and not much worse than the authentic chefs in China, when they came to North America, their appetites became very average.
After dinner.
Taylor said: "How about you guys stay at my house tonight? I live alone in Los Angeles and my house has a lot of rooms. It's no problem for you to come over. I'll go to the performance venue with you tomorrow to get familiar with it."
Wang Qian immediately shook his head: "Forget it, let's go back. Several friends from the program team will be worried about us. Besides, my mentor has arrived today, and I have to go back and talk to him."
Tyler: "That's a shame. I had a great time eating and chatting with you today. I want to talk to you more."
Qin Xuerong smiled politely and said: "Thank you for your hospitality. I didn't expect to be able to eat such authentic hometown food in North America. If I come to Los Angeles in the future, I can eat here."
Tyler: "When you come, be sure to call me and I'll treat you!"
The three of them walked downstairs as they talked, as if they had known each other for many years.
Getting in the car, Taylor drove to the hotel where Wang Qian lived again.
Once again, it was photographed by many reporters and paparazzi squatting at the entrance of the hotel.
However, Taylor was still not able to be photographed driving, but Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong were photographed getting out of the car and quickly ran back to the hotel, refusing any interviews!
Taylor watched the two of them return to the hotel, started the car and went back with a calm face, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, which turned white from excessive force. Then he sighed deeply and murmured in a low voice: "Why didn't I go to Moyin's exchange meeting earlier? When I met him at Moyin, they had not been together for long! If I had gone half a month earlier, he might still be single."
"What should I do now?"
Tyler thought quickly.
The shadow of Wang Qian filled his mind.
She wanted to **** Wang Qian away.
But we meet again.
She knows this is difficult.
Qin Xuerong is also very good, her appearance is not inferior to hers, her musical talent and talent are naturally not as good as hers, but she is obedient to Wang Qian and can also help Wang Qian, which is something she can't do. Have your own ideals and career, and stick to them.
Furthermore, she could see that Wang Qian was also a determined person, and it would be difficult for her to recruit him.
Take a deep breath!
Tyler calmed himself down and continued driving home.
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong rushed into the hotel from a crowd of paparazzi, feeling like they were fighting a battle.
"Wang Qian, you just came to Los Angeles. Instead of taking a good rest and practicing, you went out to play. Didn't you think about competing well?"
"Wang Qian, you brought your girlfriend to the competition, are you still thinking about singing in the competition?"
"Wang Qian, I heard that you were a big name and cursed at the performance. Is that true?"
"Wang Qian"
Every gossip question made Wang Qian want to laugh.
With silence, he walked into the hotel under the protection of several security guards, then quickly entered the elevator and entered his floor.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Zhou Qinghua, He Dongming, and Cui Wenfeng walking over not far away, carrying a suitcase.
Obviously, Cui Wenfeng has just arrived!
Seeing Wang Qian, Cui Wenfeng came over and hugged Wang Qian gently and said, "How are you preparing? I see you are still in the mood to go out for dinner, you are very relaxed!"
Wang Qian smiled and said: "There is really no pressure!"
Cui Wenfeng patted Wang Qian on the shoulder: "Although, I don't know where your confidence comes from. However, I will definitely support you. No matter what results you get in the end, I will support you. I also hope that, No matter where you go in the end, you must maintain a good attitude. You still have a long way to go, so don’t worry about temporary success or failure. ”
Wang Qian: "Thank you, I know."
He knew that Cui Wenfeng was giving him a vaccination to prepare him mentally for failure and elimination later.
Having just learned about the newly added competition system, Cui Wenfeng's remaining illusion of winning against Wang Qian was completely shattered.
In Los Angeles, under this format, it is really impossible for Asian players to win the championship.
Even if European players want to defeat local North American players to win the championship, it is extremely difficult!
Only the North American Adam player has the most advantage, and the competition system is almost all geared towards him.
The home field advantage is terrifying.
Zhou Qinghua was listening to something on the phone with a slightly excited expression. He sent Cui Wenfeng into the room together, then put down the phone and said excitedly: "Wang Qian, good news!"
Everyone looked at Zhou Qinghua curiously.
Wang Qian asked: "Director Zhou, what's the good news? Jonathan has withdrawn from the competition?"
Jonathan is Wang Qian’s first opponent in the official competition and is the annual champion of The Voice of Germany.
When Wang Qian said this, everyone laughed, and then they felt that maybe Wang Qian was under too much pressure?
Otherwise, why would you want your opponent to retire?
So, the smiles of Cui Wenfeng and He Dongming disappeared immediately.
Zhou Qinghua also said immediately: "Of course not. This kind of world-class competition has unprecedented attention. What fool would quit the competition? Even if it fails in the first game, it can increase a lot of exposure. It's about For the opening performance tomorrow, the program team contacted me and sent you an invitation. I personally recommend that you accept it."
Invitation?
He Dongming asked strangely: "Wang Qian is a contestant himself. This is his fourth performance. Does he still need an invitation?"
Zhou Qinghua: "It's an extra performance and an extra invitation, so the program team needs to ask for your personal opinion."
Add one more show?
He Dongming: "Do all players get one extra game? Or is it just Wang Qian?"
Zhou Qinghua: "Only Wang Qian has it! They want to invite Wang Qian to give another piano performance after Taylor in the opening. Because several of your piano songs are very popular in North America, and Taylor's performance caused a stir in the field of piano music and The whole field of classical music is paying attention, so they want to invite you to give a piano performance again to attract more topics and attention."
"I personally suggest you accept that one more performance is a huge opportunity to increase exposure and attract support from local audiences."
Piano performance?
Everyone was stunned!
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong looked at each other and thought of Taylor just now.
I just talked about the piano with Taylor when we were having dinner, but as soon as I came back, I received an invitation to play piano from the program team?
Wang Qian asked: "Why didn't they invite me earlier? It's only one day before the performance, and I still have to practice singing and performing! Isn't the time given to me too tight?"
Zhou Qinghua shook his head: "I don't know. I asked our people in the operation team. He said that it seems to be because there have been more discussions about you in the field of classical piano recently, and several of your piano pieces have been An authoritative classical music magazine ranked it in the top few of this year's best songs, so they suddenly decided to let you perform a piano performance to improve the quality of our program."
Having two piano performances means it’s high quality?
It seems yes, compared to pop music, piano playing is a high-level art field.
This year's The Voice has become popular all over the world, and it can be said to be a great success in the field of pop music.
So, they are not satisfied and still want to get attention and recognition from the field of classical music?
Wang Qian thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I agree. However, I will decide what music to play!"
Zhou Qinghua waved his hand: "Okay, I will reply to them right away."
As Zhou Qinghua spoke, he picked up the phone and dialed, and said to the other party: "Wang Qian agreed, but he will decide what music to play."
The other side replied: "Okay, no problem! Let him prepare well, and we will arrange the time right after Taylor's performance. Don't be stressed, it is the opening performance anyway, and it will not be counted in the score. ”
Zhou Qinghua looked at Wang Qian and replied seriously: "Okay."
Hung up the phone.
Everyone looked at Wang Qian.
Cui Wenfeng asked curiously: "What music will be played tomorrow night? I like your Magic City March the most. It is very deep and has a sense of history."
Wang Qian thought for a while and said: "I don't want to continue playing some of the songs I have played. Let's play a new song tomorrow!"
The room instantly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Wang Qian with wide eyes.
Even Qin Xuerong blinked his big eyes and looked at Wang Qian.
Want to make sure, is Wang Qian joking?
Tomorrow is such an important occasion. It can be said that it has attracted worldwide attention. It will be broadcast live in hundreds of countries around the world. The number of viewers will be at least over one billion. There may even be billions of viewers watching the live broadcast of the performance. It is determined that a performance will be played. A new piece that has never been played in public?
What should I do if my performance fails?
Even if you don’t perform badly, what if you are not recognized by everyone?
Why not play something that has already been widely recognized before?
They believe that with Wang Qian’s master-level performance, he will definitely gain everyone’s recognition by playing successful songs.
Cui Wenfeng considered his tone and said, "Wang Qian, this occasion is too important. Should we be more cautious?"
Wang Qian nodded: "Yes, just because I want to be more stable, I will play a new song. Everyone will be more surprised, which will increase the chance of winning in the following competitions and accumulate popularity!"
Okay
It seems reasonable to say so.
But
The risk is a bit high.
Qin Xuerong immediately supported Wang Qian: "I believe Wang Qian can definitely do it!"
Cui Wenfeng, Zhou Qinghua, and He Dongming naturally cannot oppose Wang Qian here. They are not qualified and do not dare.
Fear disturbed Wang Qian's mood.
Emotion is very important in this kind of performance!
He Dongming smiled and said: "It's okay. Seeing that Wang Qian is so confident, it's definitely not bad! Let's just wait and see. However, the time is so tight, you have to be well prepared."
Wang Qian's face was full of confidence: "Don't worry, I know how to do it."
Cui Wenfeng and Zhou Qinghua both patted Wang Qian on the shoulder to express support.
At this time, everyone can only choose to believe Wang Qian.
They chatted for a few more words and then went to their respective rooms. Except for Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong, the other three were in a slightly heavy mood.
Go back to the room.
Wang Qian thought for a while and called Jiang Yu and Murong Yue to ask them to come over!
The piano music he wants to play requires the cooperation of other instruments, so that it will have a live effect, just like a large concert.
But
He can't find anyone to help him yet.
Unlike in China, he only needs a phone call, and Moyin Yangyin Zheyin will help him as much as possible. If he needs someone, he can give him an instrument, and if he needs an instrument, he can give him an instrument, without any problem!
But
This is North America, Los Angeles.
A foreign country.
Except Jiang Yu and Murong Yue.
He suddenly has no one to call
Zhao Wei and He Fulin are not suitable.
