At Chaoyang Film Academy, a certain lecture theater was already full of people.
today.
It is an exchange meeting between Chaoyang Conservatory of Music, Shangjing Conservatory of Music, and Bodeley Conservatory of Music from abroad.
The battle was very big.
There were hundreds of students from Chaoyang Film Academy sitting there.
It was said to be an exchange meeting, but students turned this exchange meeting into a PK competition on the campus forum.
"Do you know? Wang Youming, the leader of the Beijing Conservatory of Music who came to participate in the exchange meeting this time, has a grudge against Dean Qiu Zhi! The two have been fighting for many years, and they can't tell the difference!"
"This time, there are several talented students coming to Beijing Conservatory of Music! Lyricists, composers, and piano players! They are all awesome!"
"Are you here to ruin the show? There is nothing we can do. In the first half of the year, our performance department went to their side and ruined the show! Hahaha!"
"Hey! We are not a professional music school after all. Compared with the five major music conservatories, our strength is still far behind! I feel like the music conservatory is going to be beaten this time!"
"Not necessarily! Our music school has super masters!"
"You mean Qi Ji?"
…
Qi Ji was dragged to this exchange meeting by Qiu Zhi.
"You boy, you are the strongest one in our academy now! If the opponent's firepower is too strong later, you have to go up and beat them!" Qiu Zhi patted Qi Ji on the shoulder and said.
Qi Ji was quite helpless.
He probably knows a little bit about this kind of exchange meeting.
Just a few professors standing on the stage, reading their articles, everyone clapping together, saying something nice, and that's it.
Anyway, it feels quite boring.
"Dean, is that teacher Wang Youming who went to Beijing your enemy?" Qi Ji couldn't help but ask, thinking of the gossip his roommate had told him.
Qiu Zhidao: "That's not true! This old boy can't compete with me in singing, and he can't compete with me in composing! This time, he brought his students here! So, you have to beat them, beat them hard!
"
Qi Ji and Qiu Zhi walked into the venue side by side.
Among the students present, someone immediately saw him.
There was a scream immediately.
"Qi Ji!! That's Qi Ji!"
"Ah! Qi Ji is here!"
"Qi Ji is so popular, and he actually comes to school in person!? What a high-quality idol!"
"There's something good to watch today!"
"What a show, we have to share the same hatred today! These two colleges are coming very hard!"
Listening to the students' discussion, Qiu Zhi patted Qi Ji's shoulder and said with a smile: "See, everyone is waiting for you to take action!"
Qi Ji smiled and shook his head: "Dean, you guys made this exchange meeting feel like a war."
The two talked for a while, and Qi Ji sat in the second row.
Qiu Zhi was surrounded by several people from the Badley Conservatory of Music.
Xue Pingping also came to join in the fun. He was sitting in the back row. When he saw Qi Ji appear, he quickly squeezed in beside Qi Ji.
"Lao Qi, this exchange meeting in your hospital is really big!" He shook the camera in his hand and kept scanning the girls who came to participate in the exchange meeting.
Soon he saw a few good-looking ones. He raised his camera and took a few photos.
Qi Ji said disgustedly: "Stop acting like you've never seen a woman before!"
Xue Pingping said happily: "You know Hammer, I am doing this purely out of appreciation and want to retain the beauty of this moment."
Qi Ji: "You just have too much energy and blood!"
Xue Pingping: "Bullshit!"
At this time, a tall and thin man came over. He was the vice chairman of the student union named Zhang Jia.
"Hello Qi Ji! I'm Zhang Jia from the student union. Dean Qiu told me that you will be our trump card later. Can you go backstage with me now?"
Qi Ji stood up helplessly: "I'm just a bastard!"
Even so, Qi Ji still followed Zhang Jia.
After all, this is a time to contribute to the academy, so Qi Ji will certainly not back down.
Xue Pingping took out his mobile phone and took several photos of Qi Ji's back.
Then he sent the photo to a small group: "Qi Ji's show-off program is loading!"
The group of friends responded immediately.
Meng Liang: "????Didn't you say you were going to participate in college activities? What kind of pretense?"
Xue Pingping: "What do you know about our big stars?"
Cai Guixiang: "Which classroom are you in? Is Qi Ji going to play later?"
Zhang Jia and Qi Ji said as they walked: "Today's process is roughly divided into three steps. One is to communicate about lyrics, the second is to communicate about composition, and the third is for several professors to give speeches on their views on future music.
."
Qi Ji said: "Then what am I here to do?"
Zhang Jia smiled and said: "The professors will give questions directly later to test the students from several of our schools."
Qi Ji understood what he said. The two of them came to the backstage, where several capable students from the Conservatory of Music were present.
Seeing Qi Ji, someone looked very excited and came up to him: "Senior Qi! You are actually here today! I'm so excited!"
"Qi Ji, can we take a photo together?"
"Senior Qi, you are so handsome in person!"
"Senior, if we get beaten later, you have to help me hold up the scene!"
However, there were also people who stood aside silently. After giving Qi Ji a brief gesture, they no longer came up to compliment Qi Ji like the others.
Zhang Jia patted the girl on the shoulder and said, "Xiaojia, I know you are high-spirited, but senior Qi Ji's strength is obvious to all of us."
Yan Xiaojia silently glanced at Qi Ji who was surrounded by everyone, and said, "He is very powerful, should I go up and compliment him?"
Yan Xiaojia is one year younger than Qi Ji. During her three years at Chaoyang Film Academy, she has been a prominent figure in the music academy.
It can be said that time goes back more than half a year, before Qi Ji participated in "Born Idol".
Yan Xiaojia is the most famous one at the Conservatory of Music.
Because of her, she won the Golden Melody Award for Best Lyrics when she was a freshman.
He is the youngest among the recipients of this award so far.
In the past few months when Qi Ji became famous, people kept comparing her to Qi Ji.
Some people even say that many of Qi Ji's songs on the stage of "Born Idol", such as "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Young Chinese Story", can definitely win the Golden Melody Award for Best Lyrics.
As for Xiaojia, although her lyrics are very strong, her melody writing is very average.
Therefore, in the past few months, Qi Ji has replaced her momentum in the conservatory and has become the most famous figure.
Qi Ji looked around, seeing all the young children.
At this moment, they are still in the ivory tower and cannot fully understand the feelings of a man in his 30s.
Seeing everyone's faces full of youthfulness and eagerness to try, Qi Ji's eyes also flashed with excitement.
The school is really good.
On the stage, the little host has already appeared.
There was fierce applause.
Amid everyone's welcome, Marcus, a professor from the Bodley Conservatory of Music, walked onto the stage and began to seriously share his insights on music.
It mainly talks about the development history of classical music.
Classical music appeared in this world at about the same time as in previous lives.
The main thing is that those people are no longer the people Qi Ji was familiar with in his previous life.
As Marcus was talking, the students in the audience were a little sleepy.
"Damn it! How can he tell the story of the development of the piano?"
"Isn't this guy taking us for fools?"
"Does he think of us as primary school students?"
Qi Ji listened with great interest.
Although he traveled through time and inherited many memories about this world.
But after all, there are memories from previous lives mixed in, so at this moment, he still sounds a little bit fresh.
After all, in this world, Qi Ji doesn’t know or understand the classical composers from hundreds of years ago.
But as he listened, Qi Ji's brows suddenly wrinkled.
"The origin and development of classical music are all in the West. Even in our modern times, its center is still here." Marcus said unhurriedly, "A study shows that Chinese students
, the time spent on music is far lower than the global average. This makes us have to reflect, what is wrong with the Chinese people?"
"We know that China's college entrance examination system is very strict, but... this cannot cultivate outstanding musicians and composers."
"One thing that China urgently needs to solve now is to stop being complacent and learn from our excellent Western art and culture to enrich ourselves!"
"A lot of Chinese classical music, as far as I know, there are some flutes, guzheng and the like. Although the sound is very good, it has some limitations..."
The little old man became more and more energetic as he talked on stage.
When the male translator translated his words, he tried his best to use positive and neutral words. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
But these words sounded...a bit harsh to the students present.
Everyone became excited immediately.
"This guy, is he here to find trouble with us?"
"Zhao Lang is from our country, right? How come the grand pianist who is the most popular in the world is not worth mentioning in his mouth, and the musicians of our country are not worth mentioning?"
"Learning from their culture? Are you trying to replace our culture? Are you trying to destroy our culture?"
"Get out!"
The students became a little excited.
Suddenly someone shouted: "Who said we don't have outstanding composers in China? If nothing else, our school's academic performance alone can beat you, a bad old man like you!"
As soon as these words came out, the students present immediately became excited.
"That's right! The quality of Qi Ji's two etudes is no worse than what this bad old man just recommended!"
"Qi Ji is at the scene! I saw him just now! Qi Ji, come out quickly and let him see the world!"
The place was noisy.
So much so that Qiu Zhi had to stand up, pressed his hands, and said: "Students, please be quiet. We must learn to respect! Although some people don't know how to respect!"
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Marcus, who was standing on the stage, was quite proud. He didn't understand Qiu Zhi's words.
The translator didn't translate it for him either.
He felt that Dean Qiu did the right thing.
Children should listen to their own teachings.
Young people in China, I just told a little truth, but you can’t stand it?
Chinese classical music is indeed very poor.
There is no doubt about this.
He bowed to everyone, and then heard the two syllables "qiji" coming from the audience one after another.
So I asked the interpreter what was being said in the audience.
The translator said that this is a relatively outstanding student from Chaoyang Film Academy who is very good at composing music.
Marcus couldn't help but curl up into a faint smile.
excellent student?
How excellent is it?
I have taught for so many years, and my Badley College has gathered music geniuses from all over the world. I have seen too many so-called outstanding students.
What does a mere Chinese student count?
Wang Youming sat on the left hand side of Qiu Zhi, his face a little ugly: "Brother, I can't bear this anymore!"
Originally, he came to Qiu Zhi for a duel today.
The fight hasn't even started yet, but a foreign enemy has arrived?
Let's beat him together first.
But... Damn it, what Markus said really makes sense.
The classical music in our country is just barely interesting.
Wang Youming sighed in his heart.
Qi Ji stood in the background, and several friends around him were already scolding him!
"This Marcus is really good at showing off!"
"I'm so angry! But I don't know how to refute him!"
"In recent years, there seems to be no high-quality piano music in our country!"
Everyone was filled with indignation. Yan Xiaojia, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Who said that Qi Ji's two etudes are both very nice and of high quality!"
Yan Xiaojia looked at Qi Ji with an expressionless face.
Qi Ji looked at this girl in surprise.
It's a bit surprising that she would say such words on this occasion.
Because from the moment he came in, this girl didn't give him a good look.
Of course Qi Ji is not a licker. Although this girl is good-looking, she can't put her hot face on her cold butt.
So Qi Ji hasn't said a word to her since she came in.
After hearing Yan Xiaojia's words, Zhang Jia couldn't help but patted his head and said: "Yes, the two songs by senior are very good! If it weren't for senior Qi Ji, you are too young, I think it is completely
You can leave your name in the piano world!"
At this time.
Qiu Zhi, who was in the audience, had already stood up. He walked to the stage, shook hands with Marcus, and said with a smile: "Professor, please come and sit down for a while."
Marcus nodded, he still had respect for Dean Qiu.
"Students, let me perform a song for you." Qiu Zhi didn't bother much and stood directly on the stage.
The students present immediately burst into warm applause.
Qiu Zhi was already sitting in front of the piano.
But some people were sighing: "I was stepped on in front of others. Instead of saying anything or refuting, the dean just started performing? Is this over?"
"I can't help it. This Marcus is an international friend! And he has a high status at the Bodley Conservatory of Music and enjoys a certain reputation internationally!"
"This old boy is so arrogant! Look at him sitting there, looking so proud! He makes me so angry!"
Marcus was indeed very proud.
He saw the expressions of the audience present.
He saw anger in everyone's eyes.
But so what?
What I said is the truth.
Chinese classical music just doesn’t work!
angry?
How about you use actual actions to refute me?
"Teacher, we won't be beaten later, right?" The students who came with Markas for exchanges looked at the indignant students from Chaoyang Film Academy and trembled a little.
"My god! Teacher, you look so handsome on stage! It makes me feel really good to see Chinese people being so embarrassed!"
"Chinese people want to refute, but they can't refute! Haha!"
Marcus nodded slightly and said: "Teacher just told a few facts. China is a country of etiquette. I believe they will not do anything to us! Okay, stop talking, let's listen carefully.
Listen to Dean Qiu's piano solo and see which famous piece he can play."
The audience has become quiet.
Qiu Zhi's hand began to slide on the piano, and the exciting notes suddenly sounded.
Less than ten seconds.
The audience at the scene was overjoyed.
"This is...this is Qi Ji Etude 2!"
"The dean actually knows this piece of music by Qi Ji? And he plays it so well!"
“Dean’s awesome pen!”
"Qi Ji Etudes 2! Super nice! If you don't agree, come and argue! A hundred years later, it is also a top piano piece!"
"Hahaha! Why didn't the dean retort? It turns out he's holding it back here!"
"Let Marcus see the song written by our senior Qi Ji!!"
Backstage.
Zhang Jia and others excitedly shook Qi Ji's shoulders.
"Senior! This is your song!"
"Senior, the dean is playing your music!"
"Etude 2, isn't this so nice?"
Qi Ji was already immersed in Qiu Zhi's performance.
Qiu Zhi's piano skills are very famous in China.
Even though I am getting older, my performance level is no longer what it used to be.
But as people get older, the piano they play has a more mellow flavor.
Qi Ji's Etude 2 is a famous song from the previous life called "Summer".
This piece of music fell on the entire lecture hall this autumn.
It makes everyone feel like they are surrounded by the sound of cicadas and insects.
Enjoyed it a lot.
A group of people from the Bodley Conservatory of Music were already confused.
"Professor, this piece of music is so nice! I haven't heard it before!"
"Professor, who composed this piece of music! I want to play it a hundred times against the score when I go back! It's so nice!"
"Professor, tell me quickly, who wrote this music! It's a masterpiece!"
"It sounds so good! I am so ignorant! I only heard such music for the first time today! I am guilty!"
Marcus could no longer hear what the students were saying at this moment.
He was completely immersed in Qiu Zhi's playing.
The song "summer" has a very simple melody.
But it is so moving that everyone who hears it feels like they are in summer.
The whole person seemed to have been baptized.
Marcus already made a judgment within 10 seconds of hearing this piece of music.
He had never heard this piece of music before.
And this song must have been born not long ago.
I have been immersed in the classical piano world for so many years.
A piece of music of this quality only needs to be born three or five years ago, and only needs to be played in public a few times.
Then, it will definitely reach your ears.
But this piece of music is so moving, but I have never heard it before.
Was this written by Dean Qiu Zhi himself?
Judging from the students' reactions, everyone was surprised by this piece of music, but not surprised.
Obviously this isn't the first time you've heard this song, right?
Dean Qiu Zhi, what a great talent!
I really envy the children in this school!
I actually heard this song I don’t know how long ago!
