Debuting After Eight Years of Time Travel: 291. I don’t play other people’s music! The same is true for the piano, and the same is true for the violin! (Please subscribe)

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter that took eight years to debut!

The audience at the scene and in front of many TV sets were all confused at this moment.

They thought that after being shocked by Wang Qian again and again in this class, their receptive ability should be very strong and they would not be shocked by anything again.

But

When Wang Qian finished speaking.

All of them were still shocked and confused.

They were still waiting for Wang Qian's answer to give them some inspiration, but in the end they suddenly said something?

They want to be sure

Did I hear wrongly?

Say it again?

What do you want?

Pairs of eyes widened and looked at Wang Qian in confusion and shock.

Professor David, who stood up to talk to Wang Qian, was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at Wang Qian and asked in a strange voice: "Mr. Wang Qian, may I ask, what did you just say? Do you want to borrow What?"

Wang Qian looked at David, faced with thousands of doubtful looks and confused expressions in the audience, and said loudly: "I want to ask, can someone lend me a violin? Maybe, I can play on the violin I will have a more direct and clear communication with Professor David, so that you can better understand how I achieve my musical expression."

Wang Qian repeated his request clearly again.

The scene became even quieter.

Everyone still looked at Wang Qian with wide eyes.

Even Sophie, Taylor, Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Chen Xiaowen, Liu Shengnan and others, as well as He Chaohui, Peng Donghu, Yang Jiansen and others from the three major colleges, all looked at Wang Qian with wide eyes!

Although they all know that Wang Qian is relatively knowledgeable about various musical instruments, including the big violin. When Sophie, Taylor, and Jiang Yu collaborated to play "Rhapsody in the City" in Los Angeles, they personally demonstrated cello playing to them, but that was just a little bit of performance. It can only be performed by top music geniuses like Taylor and Sophie. There are at least five, six or seven musical instruments, but only one or two are really good at it. It would be great to have just one person who can truly reach the level of a top master in the world!

Of course, they all instinctively believed that Wang Qian must be focused on the piano instrument and was only slightly proficient in other instruments. Otherwise, how could he have understood piano playing to an unprecedented level? Do you admire many of the world's top masters at the scene?

So

So, what does Wang Qian want the violin for now?

Definitely not for fun.

Must be playing music.

Because Professor David is the violin professor.

Wang Qian said it very clearly. In order to communicate with Professor David more clearly and intuitively, I will play it on the violin

So, when many people think about it, logically, this seems to be a matter of course!

Max, Malone, Dawson, Kalman and others all looked at Wang Qian with wide eyes, as if they wanted to see if Wang Qian was joking, or serious, just playing casually, or if he was really confident in playing it. ?

What to know

The venue is a gathering place for the world's top classical musicians. Professor David, whom Wang Qian directly faces, is a violin master. Even if he is not among the top ten violinists in the world, he is at least second only to the top ten. The level of a violinist is an absolute master violinist.

How many people are qualified to use the violin to explain and give guidance to this world's top master violinist?

This is a real trick!

Many other famous violinists at the scene did not dare to communicate with Professor David like this. Even if several of the world's top ten violinists were present, they did not dare to give David guidance on the violin. After all, the top ten violinists One of them is Professor David's student.

But Wang Qian said that he wanted to use the violin to explain to David how to express music?

Many people at the scene took a breath of cold air, which made the temperature of the scene drop a bit. They didn’t know what Wang Qian wanted to do, and they didn’t know how Wang Qian had the courage to do this!

No one believes that Wang Qian has great attainments in the violin, which is a more difficult instrument than the piano. He must know something about it, but no one will believe how high his level is!

Human energy is limited and time is limited.

Wang Qian is only about 30 years old. It is a miracle that at this age, he can master the practice of piano, an instrument that requires many people to work hard for a lifetime, to an unprecedented level.

It is impossible for him to have the time and energy to practice other instruments to a very advanced level.

Professor Dawson stood up immediately and said: "Mr. Wang Qian, I'm sorry, we thought the theme of this class was piano, so we didn't prepare other instruments suitable for you!"

Professor Dawson kept winking at Wang Qian, indicating that Wang Qian should take back what he just said and stop playing the violin in front of so many people at the scene. This matter was revealed.

He felt that Wang Qian would definitely screw up and finally screw up the successes he had just achieved.

This is what Professor Dawson does not want to see. Whether it is for Wang Qian, his own reputation, and the reputation of Curtis College, he hopes that Wang Qian can leave here successfully instead of being embarrassed. end.

So far, Wang Qian has been considered a great success. Whether it is the previous piano performance or the poem just now, it is enough to make Wang Qian a big success in the entire art field in Europe and the United States, including the two major art fields of music and literature. It has been a success and has been recognized by many artists and art lovers in the two major art fields.

So, there is no need to make any other mistakes now, just continue to go deeper on these two routes, and then successfully end this lesson, it will end absolutely perfectly.

Professor David fell silent and did not speak. He looked at Wang Qian with complicated eyes. He didn't know what Wang Qian's real purpose was for wanting the violin, but he himself felt uncomfortable and felt that he had been slighted

Although his reputation outside is not that great, he also has his own pride, thinking that he understands the violin deeply and deeply.

A pianist comes to teach me how to play the violin?

The question he asked was about musical expression. He just wanted to learn from Wang Qian's piano explanations about musical concepts, rather than asking Wang Qian to teach him how to play the violin.

He felt that no one in the world was qualified to teach him how to play the violin.

So, Professor David felt that he was despised by Wang Qian.

However, he remembered Wang Qian's poem just now, which made him really like it from the bottom of his heart. He also appreciated Wang Qian's piano playing skills, so out of pity for his talent, he did not interrupt or object to Professor Dawson's words, but slowly sat down, pretending that he had not heard what Wang Qian said just now, and planned to let go Let's forget about Wang Qian, a young musician, and let Professor Dawson come to the rescue.

Many people at the scene frowned slightly when they saw this. Some were surprised, some took it for granted, and some were gloating. Although this avoids the embarrassment of Wang Qian and others playing the violin class, being interrupted midway will actually make many people cling to this point afterwards.

Wang Qian looked at Professor Dawson and then at Professor David who was sitting down and was about to speak.

A middle-aged man behind stood up, raised a violin case in his hand, and said loudly: "Professor Dawson, Mr. Wang Qian, I brought a violin. This violin has been used by me for twenty years. The Foster violin, I think, should be able to meet Mr. Wang Qian’s requirements.”

Uh!

Professors Dawson and David, as well as Max, Malone, Kalman, and many others looked at the man who stood up to speak.

It was also a middle-aged man wearing formal clothes, with a touch of elegance on his body, which was an aura of art. It was obvious that he was also a music artist. He was holding a black violin case in his hand, with a solemn look on his face. He looked at Wang Qian with some seriousness and seriousness in his eyes, as if he was doing something very serious.

Professor Dawson immediately frowned slightly.

Many people around him started talking and revealed the identity of this middle-aged man.

"That's Denzel, a famous violinist in New York. He just held a world tour last year and it was very successful!"

"Yes, Denzel graduated from the Juilliard School, and I am an alumnus. I met him at the alumni reunion last month, and he played a violin piece live, which was great. , I think he is qualified to be one of the top ten violinists in the world in the future."

"Wow, it's really Denzel. I'm a fan of his music and I really like the violin he plays. I've bought two of his violin music albums, which are very nice."

"What did Denzel want to do? Couldn't he see that Professor Dawson was helping Wang Qian out? Did he deliberately take out the violin to let Wang Qian play the violin live? That would definitely be a disaster, I can't imagine a world-class piano master playing the violin."

"Haha, actually I want to ask that Chinese boy Wang Qian, what does he think? Wouldn't it be nice to just talk about the piano? Or just continue writing a poem! Why play the violin? Why do you have to play the violin? Playing the violin in front of Professor David? It’s really unreasonable.”

"Although his piano performance is indeed beyond my imagination, there seems to be something wrong with his IQ. He always talks big words that I can't understand"

When everyone was talking about Denzel, who stood up and held the violin, they also expressed their opinions on Wang Qian's move.

No surprise!

Nearly everyone present felt that Wang Qian was too reckless.

Continue to talk about the piano that you are most familiar with and good at, and finally wrap it up, so that this lesson will end perfectly

Why bother adding extraneous details and playing violin?

Okay!

Professor Dawson might not be able to help him out now. Denzel walked out of his seat with his violin in hand and walked towards the podium.

As he walked out of his seat, Denzel said: "Sorry, Professor Dawson, I have a very good violin. I think it should be able to meet Mr. Wang Qian's requirements."

After a pause, Denzel continued: "Professor Dawson, Professor David, don't you want to hear the violin played by Mr. Wang Qian? I think he might bring us a surprise?"

Professor Dawson smiled reluctantly, then sat down and sighed, with some worry on his face.

Kalman whispered: "Don't worry, leave everything to him. He only needs to be able to play a piece of music completely and clearly, and it will be very good. For a pianist, you cannot ask for his violin How amazing. This will not affect the evaluation of this class."

Professor Dawson nodded: "Yes, Mr. Kalman, I thought too much."

Under Wang Qian’s amazing performance earlier, Professor Dawson gave up his Buddhist mentality. He wanted this class to end perfectly, so he didn't want to cause any complications, so he intervened in Wang Qian's lecture rhythm.

Now that I think about it, Professor Dawson knows that he shouldn't do this.

In this way, he not only offended Professor David, but also offended many people present. Most importantly, he also left a bad impression on Wang Qian.

Yes, neither Dawson nor Kalman want to leave a bad impression on Wang Qian at the moment.

Not to mention what will happen next, just the level of piano playing that Wang Qian showed just now is enough for them to pay attention to, and it is enough for the entire Curtis Institute to pay attention.

After all, this is an unprecedented level of piano performance, and it is an existence that can raise the upper limit of the entire piano performance field. No top music school will give up recruiting such talents into its own school to enhance the quality of its own school. The upper limit of piano level.

If there are no accidents!

Both Professor Dawson and Kalman believe that there will be no obstacles to the possible appointment of Wang Qian as a piano professor at Curtis College. After this class, it should be quickly passed in the college.

Then, the two of them now naturally hope to build a relationship with Wang Qian as much as possible so that Wang Qian can smoothly agree to this matter. Moreover, after Wang Qian agrees to take office in Curtis, they will be colleagues in the same college in the future. , then it is even more important to have a good relationship and leave a good impression.

Max whispered: "Denzel is David's nephew. Denzel calls David uncle. They have a good relationship. Denzel often visits David. He may want to help David. ”

Dawson, Kalman, Malone, and several other major artists around them all suddenly understood what Denzel was doing after listening to Max's words.

You know, Denzel is definitely not the only one who can bring a violin to the scene. After all, there must be more than two hands on the scene who can be called a violinist. Even the world's top violin masters have several !

However, none of these people came forward.

Obviously, everyone gave Professor Dawson and Curtis College some face, and also gave Wang Qian some face.

Yes, after Wang Qian's piano performance just now and the publication of the poem just now, he has gained status in the hearts of many great artists at the scene, and he has the qualifications to be given face by them.

It’s just that this Denzel doesn’t want to give Wang Qian face.

Some people wonder why Denzel did this!

As a member of the medical leadership of Juilliard School, Max knew this Denzel, and also knew about Denzel’s origins and some kinship relationships. He was related to Professor David.

Although Professor David is from Eastman College and Denzel is a graduate of Juilliard School. But Denzel’s violin playing has also been guided by David and his wife for many years.

This also explains.

Some people who have achieved success in the art field basically have family backgrounds, or are born into wealth!

Even those at the top level have deep relationships with each other, many of which are blood relationships.

It is impossible for an ordinary or poor family with no foundation to produce an artist. Unless there is a great opportunity, top talent will be in vain.

Under everyone's gaze, Denzel carried his violin case to the podium, handed the violin case to Wang Qian with both hands, and said solemnly: "Mr. Wang Qian, are you sure you can really play?" Violin? This violin is my true love. If you insult her, I will not be happy."

Denzel had a very strong aura, as if he wanted to suppress Wang Qian.

However, Wang Qian still looked at the other party relaxedly, without being affected by the other party's momentum at all. He did not take the other party's violin case immediately, and said slowly: "If this is your true love, then I can't have it. I Just an ordinary violin, because this violin already belongs to you completely and has your obvious imprints, and I don’t want to change these imprints.”

Many music artists at the scene understood this very clearly.

That is to say, this violin is Denzel's favorite instrument, so all the tuning must be done by Denzel himself. That is the tuning that is most suitable for him, so that he will be most comfortable and able to play it. Show your best state and music!

Then Wang Qian won’t want it.

Because, when Wang Qian took it over, he would definitely adjust it a little on the spot to make it suitable for his own playing habits.

This will make Denzel himself very uncomfortable afterwards, and even dislike it.

This is what Wang Qian doesn’t want to see.

For top music artists, musical instruments are as important as their beloved wives. Wang Qian does not want to touch the love of others casually.

However, these words have a different taste in the ears of many viewers in front of the TV who do not know much about classical instruments

"This is your true love, it is already in your shape, so I can't have it, because if I want it, I will let it become my shape"

The speed is too fast!

Many people said they were about to overturn.

However.

Denzel at the scene looked at Wang Qian and said seriously: "If you really understand her, then I allow you to change her at will, as long as it makes you more comfortable to use. Even if, in the end, I will It doesn’t matter if I lose her, as long as her value can be reflected.”

Wang Qian looked at Denzel and asked, "Really? I can manipulate her and turn her into whatever I want?"

Reflecting value, Wang Qian did not care about this because he was very confident about it.

There was a trace of anger in Denzel's eyes, and his hands holding the violin case were trembling. He had really used this violin for twenty years and liked it very much.

Hearing that Wang Qian refused to answer topics that reflected value, he was a little angry and felt that Wang Qian was afraid.

When he came to the stage, he saw that Wang Qian seemed to have clearly seen his uncle, Professor David, and saw Professor Dawson helping Wang Qian. He felt unhappy and wanted to quarrel with Wang Qian.

Don’t you want a violin?

Okay, I'll give it to you!

We will give you a top-quality violin from one of the top ten famous violin brands in the world.

Let's see what you can play!

With this kind of arrogance and anger.

Denzel almost gritted his teeth and said to Wang Qian: "Yes, you can do this."

Wang Qian didn't care about Denzel's attitude and emotions.

After all, since he came here, he has not experienced many good attitudes and emotions. Most people have shown relatively negative emotions towards him.

So, he basically ignored the attitudes and emotions of almost everyone here towards him. He only needed to do his own thing and maintain his emotions and attitude.

Whatever they want, go for it!

As long as Denzel agrees to it.

So, Wang Qian also stretched out his hands and solemnly took Denzel's violin case, touched it gently, and could see the traces of time on the case, which were already patinated, and said softly: "Thank you. , sir, what’s your name?”

Denzel said in a deep voice: "Denzel."

Wang Qian solemnly said again: "Thank you, Mr. Denzel."

Denzel looked at the violin case in Wang Qian's hand with some reluctance, feeling that his beloved might be ruined by Wang Qian, and he had to send it to him personally for him to ruin.

This made him extremely uncomfortable.

But, for one breath.

Denzel bet on the love of his life.

He just waits for Wang Qian to make a mess of his beloved and then fails to show the reason, then he will directly attack!

Whatever is given away and accepted now, he will take back twice as much when the time comes.

Denzel asked Wang Qian: "Mr. Wang Qian, do you want to play violin music?"

Wang Qian nodded, touched Denzel's beloved, then placed it on the table, opened it gently, and said softly: "Yes, I am a serious and rigorous person. I hope that I can Let every question be solved satisfactorily. I want to answer Professor David’s questions in a way that Professor David can best understand.”

"Obviously, piano is definitely not the best way for Professor David to understand music."

Wang Qian opened the box that contained Denzel's beloved, gently picked up the violin, which looked extremely delicate at first glance, reached out to touch it, and said seriously: "The violin is Professor David's most important thing. The way you can understand music is perhaps the way you understand music best, right?"

Denzel said proudly: "Of course, the sound of the violin is the most beautiful music in the world."

Wang Qian was noncommittal about this. Everyone thinks that what they like is the most beautiful thing in the world. There is no way to refute this. He immediately said: "Thank you Mr. Denzel for the violin, I will make good use of it."

Wang Qian picked up the bow, reached out and gently tried the sound on the violin, and then began to adjust it.

Denzel felt extremely distressed, his hands shook, and he wanted to **** it back. But he held it back, immediately turned around and left, quickly walking towards his seat. He didn't want to see his beloved being placed on the table by Wang Qian, who made random gestures and sounds, which made him feel more painful than his own injury.

Wang Qian smiled and nodded at Denzel who left, and then continued to play with the violin in his hand. At the same time, he said to everyone present: "Actually, the violin is my favorite string instrument. I have also studied it a little. I think , music itself is comprehensive and should not be divided by instruments. Originally, I wanted to talk about this topic openly with everyone in the future when I think about it more clearly. ”

"However, Professor David's question to me today reminded me of my previous thoughts on this aspect. What is the essence of music? If we want to express music clearly and perfectly, can we only be limited to one instrument? I don’t think so. What can be done with the piano, why can’t it be done with the violin?”

Wang Qian’s words and many questions made many people at the scene think. They put aside the strange thoughts they had about Wang Qian just now, and no longer looked at Wang Qian with colored glasses and discrimination, but with a Looking at Wang Qian's question from a purely artistic and academic perspective, I found that it is indeed very profound and thoughtful, and it is a topic worthy of in-depth study.

Just

Many people believe that this subject itself has no end.

Because that is what art itself is.

There is no end and no absolute answer.

Everyone has a different attitude and purpose towards art, so the answers they want are naturally different.

Various musical instruments and music have their own characteristics and areas of expertise.

There is no ultimate answer to all questions.

Professor Dawson looked back at Professor David and asked with concern: "David, are you okay? He is still young, don't be angry."

Professor David calmed down and said softly: "I will not be angry with a young man, and he is a very talented young man. His words gave me more expectations. , maybe he will surprise me with a violin, Dawson, you have discovered an amazing person."

Seeing that Professor David was not angry or careless, Dawson felt relaxed and said with a smile: "Who says no? He is a genius!"

David nodded, stopped talking, and looked at Wang Qian on the podium.

Max, Malone, and Kalman also chatted with each other.

The universality of music is recognized by everyone.

It's just that it's impossible to achieve perfection and commonality on different instruments at the same time.

In the history of world music development, no one has done it for hundreds of years.

Again, people's energy and time are limited.

The most important thing is that talents and hobbies are also limited!

The fundamental reason why a person focuses on development in a field is that his hobbies and talents are in this field. Only when he likes this field can he do his best and achieve the best. At the same time, he has little interest in other fields and does not have such good talents, so even if he wants to do it, he cannot do it well!

The talent and strength that Wang Qian showed in the piano field just now are something that no one present has ever seen before.

They naturally instinctively thought that this was the ultimate and all of Wang Qian.

Sophie looked at Jiang Yu and asked, "Jiang Yu, have you ever heard Wang Qian play the violin?"

Jiang Yu and Murong Yue replied at the same time: "I've heard of it!"

Both of them have cooperated with Wang Qian for more than half a year. They have seen Wang Qian use almost all common instruments, and they are both good at it, and both can touch the threshold of professional-level performance, but they have not I have seen Wang Qian perform at a higher level, and this is incredible.

But in the eyes of those artists, the professional level can only be regarded as entry-level. Many of them have mastered the professional-level playing level of several instruments, but that's it. So this is a problem for top artists like them. There is nothing worth boasting about in his eyes.

Taylor asked curiously: "How is it?"

Jiang Yu thought for a while and replied: "It's still considered a professional level."

Professional level?

Sophie and Taylor were both slightly disappointed.

In their eyes, professional standards are entry-level.

As for the entry-level level, it cannot be used in this kind of situation, and it is not qualified to stand on the podium and perform for all the artists present.

Qin Xuerong said: "I believe Wang Qian."

Qin Xuehong shook his sister's hand and felt confident in Wang Qian, saying, "I also believe he can do it."

Liu Shengnan smiled and said: "I'm not surprised what Wang Qian can do. He is an unfathomable person in music."

Ruke nodded in agreement: "Yes, Wang Qian's musical talent has no upper limit."

Chen Xiaowen: "I believe him too."

No one else spoke and remained silent. They just looked at Wang Qian on the podium with bright eyes, looking very expectant.

Seeing Wang Qian focus on adjusting the valuable violin of a world-famous brand, and constantly trying the sound test, everyone present could see that his adjustment was very professional, no better than those of top professionals. Tuning experts are worse.

The sound quality changed every time during those auditions. Wang Qian seemed to be looking for the sound he wanted.

Everyone at the scene looked at Wang Qian patiently and allowed him to adjust. They did not interrupt or criticize anything. Instead, they watched with great interest.

Someone whispered: "His debugging is very professional!"

This statement was recognized by many people around me.

Because of the huge sense of anticipation before, many viewers in front of the TV did not turn to the channel when watching such a boring scene, but continued to watch, watching what Wang Qian wanted to do and whether he could do it. What.

The scene remained eerily quiet for more than ten minutes.

Only a smile appeared on Wang Qian's serious face, and he said softly: "I have to say that Mr. Denzel's violin is indeed very good. It is indeed a work of a world-famous brand. I believe Mr. Denzel will definitely I like her very much, but I'm sorry, I still changed her and made her what I wanted. But, I think I should make her reflect the value."

Denzel didn't speak, he just sat in his seat with a serious expression.

But others at the scene gently applauded.

Although, Wang Qian was just debugging the violin and did nothing else.

However, many musicians present still appreciated Wang Qian's superb ability to adjust the violin.

You must know that top tuners are extremely rare and scarce in any musical instrument field, and may be even rarer than top performers.

Many top performers want to tune their own instruments. When they want to invite a top tuner, they need to make an appointment, and they have to wait for a long time before they can be scheduled.

No one expected that this young Chinese man, who was only thirty years old, was also a top violin tuner.

Now, everyone is looking forward to Wang Qian’s violin performance!

For someone who understands the violin so well, his violin playing level will definitely not be low. Even if it may not reach the master level, it should not be low!

This is also the essence of a tuner. Almost every tuner is a high-level player of this instrument. Otherwise, it would be impossible to grasp the sound of this instrument so accurately.

Finished.

Wang Qian picked up the violin, looked at everyone, gently adjusted his breathing and emotional rhythm, began to brew the emotional aura he wanted in his heart, and slowly said: "Actually, I I have long wanted to play this piece for everyone to listen to, but I have never had the right opportunity. In fact, today’s opportunity is not suitable because in my thinking, this piece is a violin concerto and needs some music. Only with the help of professional players can I play the violin perfectly, but now I am playing the violin alone, and the effect may not be as good as I want."

"However, please try to listen to this violin solo of mine. Can you answer Professor David's question and give you a better understanding of the performance of music?"

Wang Qian’s words made many people at the scene stunned and a little confused!

Because

Everyone understands!

It seems

Are you going to play your own music on the violin?

Denzel immediately raised his hand.

Wang Qian saw that Denzel raised his hand, and he was still holding the other person's true love in his hand. He immediately gave the other person a face and said, "Mr. Denzel, what do you want to say?"

Denzel stood up and asked the question of everyone present: "Mr. Wang Qian, I want to know, are you going to use my violin to play the violin music you created? Instead of playing the world we have heard Famous violin piece, right? ”

Everyone's eyes sparkled, staring at Wang Qian, as if they wanted to see Wang Qian thoroughly.

Look, what on earth is this young Chinese man thinking and what does he do?

Wang Qian looked at Denzel and replied seriously: "Yes, I once said it. I don't sing other people's songs, nor do I play other people's piano music. Now, on the violin, I also insist on myself According to this principle, I will not play other people’s violin music, I will only play my own works.”

Hiss!

A gasp came from the scene again.

The temperature at the scene instantly dropped several degrees, and many people felt a chill.

Denzel's whole body stiffened involuntarily, and when he looked at Wang Qian's eyes, his eyes widened again, and he was stunned for a moment.

Everyone at the scene was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely quiet. Everyone was shocked again by Wang Qian's answer.

If.

If the media reported today's class and kept using the word "shocked", then all the artists present would not be surprised or opposed to this, nor would they think that the media was a clickbait.

Because this is what they continue to encounter today.

They were constantly shocked by this young Chinese man today.

I have no idea what he will do next

Even after they were shocked again and again, they thought that no matter what he did next, they would not be surprised.

However, every time Wang Qian said something and did something, they could not help but be shocked.

Wang Qian’s persistence shocked and surprised everyone present!

However

What surprised and shocked them even more was that Wang Qian actually wanted to fulfill his promise and play the violin music he composed.

Everyone was a little confused again.

Violin music composed by yourself?

Denzel really wants to ask: Do you know what you are talking about?
