"Everyone welcomes Mr. Qi Ji who has come from afar! An outstanding composer from China!"
Marcus's voice spread throughout the entire auditorium through the microphone.
The scene immediately burst into fierce applause.
Under everyone's gaze, Qi Ji walked out from the backstage and stood in front of the stage.
Qinqin excitedly held up her phone and started taking photos of Qi Ji.
Because she has been abroad, although she is a die-hard fan of Qi Ji, she has never participated in various domestic activities.
So I have never seen Qi Ji in real life.
The Badley students around him also looked at Qi Ji and pointed.
"Is this the star of China?"
"You're much younger than I thought!"
"Is this Qi Ji who made "Saw"? I always thought that the person who could make this kind of movie should be a bad old man! But it looks like this.
Tender!”
"If nothing else, he's quite handsome!"
Qi Ji looked at the young faces sitting in the audience with a smile.
"Thank you very much for the invitation from our Badley School. I hope everyone has a pleasant time at today's exchange meeting."
Marcus and Qi Ji sat opposite each other.
The first step of today's exchange meeting is for Qi Ji to talk about his experience in music creation.
Qi Ji's experience in his past and present lives is basically all in pop music.
In classical music, this life basically relies on portability.
But I have never seen a pig run away, and I have eaten pork.
So for the next half hour, Qi Ji talked eloquently.
Many students in the audience are taking notes carefully.
When Qi Ji said what he said made sense, he nodded repeatedly.
[So, when it comes to music creation, I think the only correct thing is to write, write more. Try to record all the notes in your mind! They may not be good-sounding or harmonious, but they must belong to
Your own.】
After Qi Ji finished his concluding remarks, the audience immediately burst into warm applause.
Qinqin recorded all the scenes of Qi Ji's speech just now and seemed particularly excited.
The students around him obviously felt that Qi Ji, a seemingly young Chinese, did have something.
They are all sighing with emotion.
“Teacher Qi Ji’s speaking skills are pretty good!”
"Haha! The author of suer does have two brushes!"
"Compared with him, Professor Marcus is a bit less interesting!"
Then the exchange meeting came to the second part.
Jasmine, the most famous pianist at Badley School, who is only 20 years old and has won many international pianist awards, will perform suer live.
Jasmine is very tall, about 175cm tall.
Wearing a snow-white dress and a bun, under the cheers of Professor Marcus, the moment he took the stage, he immediately aroused huge cheers from the audience.
“Wow! Goddess!
"
"The goddess hasn't appeared in school for a long time!"
"The goddess actually wants to perform Chinese music? I don't accept it!"
"Sister, play me!"
Qi Ji could tell that this little sister Jasmine was very popular in Badley School.
And it seems that his popularity is very high not only in Bodley, but also in the entire piano playing community.
Because there were many people sitting in the first row who seemed to be professors in the school, and they looked at Jasmine with doting eyes.
Jasmine gave Qi Ji a friendly hug.
Then Markas held up the microphone and introduced: "Miss Jasmine has won many awards, including the champion of the Warsaw Piano Competition, Teacher Qi Ji. Please listen to Miss Jasmine's performance later!"
Qi Ji didn't know much about these awards in the piano world.
If this award comes out of Marcus' mouth at this moment, it should be a very awesome award.
So Qi Ji nodded seriously and said, "Looking forward to Miss Jasmine's performance."
Jasmine held up her skirt and bowed gently to everyone, then sat down in front of the piano.
The beautiful suer immediately flowed out from her fingertips.
The whole playing is very smooth.
The rhythm is very good.
Obviously, he is already very familiar with this piece of music by Qi Ji.
After Jasmine finished playing, amidst the applause of the audience, she came to Qi Ji's side, leaned forward and said in Qi Ji's ear: "Teacher Qi Ji, how did I play?"
A slightly warm breath fell on Qi Ji's ears.
What is this foreign girl doing?
Qi Ji lightly shrugged and said, "It's great, I like it very much."
Jasmine's beautiful eyes glanced at Qi Ji, with something inexplicable shining in her eyes.
She is very confident in her own charm.
But the Chinese man in front of me seemed like a piece of wood, and he couldn't see the charm that was exuding from his whole body?
Click till then.
Jasmine sat back down the stage.
Then, under Marcus's heckles, the students present became excited.
"Teacher Qi Ji, you should have a new song, right? Play one for us all!"
"Yeah! Let's play another suer!"
"Mr. Marlow, an honorary member of the International Piano Association, is here today! Teacher Qi Ji, you won't let Mr. Marlow down, right?"
At this time.
A tall, blue-eyed middle-aged man with a rosy nose and a black suit sitting in the front row stood up.
He held up the microphone and smiled at Qi Ji: "Mr. Qi Ji, the atmosphere is very good today. If you have a new song, I would really like you to perform it live for everyone!"
As soon as this man spoke, the expressions of many of the Badley professors present became extremely serious.
This man with a typical European and American appearance should be of high status.
Qi Ji said: "Then let me play a piece of music I composed before for everyone?"
"Is it an old tune?"
"Is it still your etude?"
"Okay, okay!"
Marcus came over and introduced this man to Qi Ji in a low voice.
He is Marlowe, an honorary member of the International Piano Association.
He is said to be an honorary member just because Marlowe doesn't want to interfere with things.
But his status in the entire piano association is very high.
"If you want to make a difference in the piano world in the future, you still need to have a good relationship with Marlowe!" Professor Marcus said.
Qi Ji nodded slightly.
But I didn't take it seriously.
After all, he didn't really want to make any achievements in any piano association.
Under everyone's cheers, Qi Ji sat in front of the piano and played "Night Piano Music No. 5" for everyone.
But after he finished, the audience was still not satisfied.
I asked Qi Ji if he could play a new song.
Qi Ji couldn't resist his enthusiasm, so he moved his hands across the black and white keys, and then said with a smile: "Then... I will play another song for everyone. The name of this song is "Wedding in a Dream"."
Upon hearing Qi Ji's words, Qinqin immediately took out her mobile phone.
The students also whistled.
"Nice!"
"Great!
You can now listen to Teacher Qi Ji’s new work!”
"A wedding in a dream! This name sounds like a feeling of sadness!"
"Everyone, please be quiet and stop talking! Wait for Qi Ji to play!"
Jasmine put her hands in front of her knees.
Many people behind her took out their mobile phones and prepared to take pictures, but she would not do this.
This really loses the image of a lady.
Mr. Marlowe carefully touched his belly, which looked to be about four or five months old, with an expression as if he was waiting for the sumptuous dinner that was about to be served.
Qi Ji started to play.
A gentle melody danced from his fingertips.
Very beautiful melody.
And the playing technique is not complicated either.
But the audience at the scene were all students from professional music schools.
"This piece...the structure and performance techniques are very simple, and the emotions expressed are relatively simple, I feel."
"For someone who doesn't understand music, he would probably be fooled by Qi Ji, right?"
"The melody still sounds like brainwashing... But in terms of technique, it is indeed a little bit interesting. If such a piece of music is played in a coffee shop, there will definitely be no problem, but if it is played in a professional piano performance, then
It’s not good, it’s a bit low.”
"How many levels is this piece of music? Level five, level six?"
"Don't say anything low or low. Just tell me whether this piece of music played by Qi Ji sounds good or not, and that's it!"
This dream wedding was a very classic piano song in my previous life.
but.
This is indeed what many people in the classical music industry present here at this moment say.
There is indeed nothing complicated about this piece from its structure to its performance.
Jasmine's originally excited heart became extremely calm after Qi Ji finished playing.
She thought Qi Ji would produce another suer-level work.
As soon as the wedding in her dream came out, she was disappointed.
After Qi Ji finished playing the song, the audience burst into applause.
It's big but not that exciting anymore.
Qi Ji probably understood what these people were thinking.
But he still insisted on his own idea. As long as it is good-sounding and pleasant music, it is good music.
Rather than simply showing off skills, only those with complicated fingering techniques are called good works.
Honorary member Marlow stood up while applauding, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qi Ji, although this piece is relatively simple, I can hear very deep emotions from your performance. I can see that you are playing the piano very well."
Above all, he also has quite a lot of attainments!”
Qi Ji didn't know how true or false his words were.
At this time, Jasmine stood up and said seriously: "Mr. Qi Ji's piano playing skills should be average. Mr. Marlowe, can't you just praise others indiscriminately out of respect for our guests? In this way, in fact,
It’s not a good thing.”
As soon as Jasmine said this, the atmosphere at the scene became quite awkward.
Marcus immediately laughed and said: "Miss Jasmine, of course Qi Ji's piano playing skills cannot be compared with yours! You are the champion!"
Qi Ji looked at the girl jokingly and said, "Are you naive? Your playing skills are the best in the world."
Qi Ji felt that it was really meaningless to discuss whose piano skills were better on such an occasion.
He won't give this Jasmine any face.
But Jasmine was reluctant: "I know you men don't like others saying you can't do it, especially a beautiful girl like me, but ah, you really can't do it!"
The audience suddenly burst into laughter.
Many people can relate to Jasmine’s words.
"Haha! Qi Ji should go back and write Chinese pop music!"
"Yeah, why come to the classical music circle to join in the fun! Are all Chinese people like this?"
"Is there something wrong with you? As for Qi Ji, is there any problem? Is this how you treat teachers who come to school for exchanges?"
Jasmine's face suddenly turned ugly: "Are all you Chinese like this? You're just telling some facts, why can't you hold back?"
Marlow gently stopped Jasmine's shoulder, looked at Qi Ji and said seriously: "Mr. Qi Ji, please speak up. I still have some status in the piano world."
Qi Ji was confused.
Seeing the atmosphere, Marcus couldn't hold it in anymore. He quickly pulled Qi Ji and said, "Mr. Qi Ji, today's exchange meeting is almost over. Let's come down and have a good meal!"
Qi Ji pointed at Maruo and said, "Are you threatening me?"
Marlow said: "Everyone knows the status of Chinese people in the international piano world! Are you still angry?"
Qi Ji scratched his head and then said: "For things like piano fingering, don't you just need hands?"
Jasmine immediately laughed: "I started practicing piano when I was three years old, and I have achieved my current achievements."
Qi Ji said: "Then you have lived like a dog for the past twenty years."
Qi Ji walked to the piano and said, "I have a piece of music here that I will give you for a week. I want to see how well you can play it!"
Jasmine said: "One song a week? Are you insulting me?"
Marlow said: "With your strength, Jasmine, three days is enough!"
The students in the back looked like they were just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
"Hahaha! Let's fight! Let's fight!"
"This Qi Ji can make the goddess Jasmine angry, which shows how irritating he is!"
"The goddess's piano skills are top-notch! This Qi Ji is here, he is humiliating himself!"
Qinqin stroked her mobile phone and bit her mouth gently.
She wanted to say something for Qi Ji.
Because she felt that Qi Ji was completely targeted.
But she was limited by the environment she was in at the moment, and she didn't dare to speak at all.
Just because she had a Chinese face, several pairs of unkind eyes had already glanced at her.
Teacher Qi Ji, please wish yourself well. After all, this is not your home court, so you should keep a low profile. Qinqin thought.
And Qi Ji was already sitting in front of the piano.
He started to play.
The speed of playing is incredible!
My fingertips clicked back and forth on countless piano keys.
His speed is getting faster and faster.
Everyone's expressions, from disdain at the beginning, slowly turned into shock.
"This...this is a piece of music that can be played by human hands??"
"What a speed!
"
"Mom!
Such proficiency!
"
"This finger won't be broken, right???"
What Qi Ji played was none other than "Flight of the Bumblebee".
