Warsaw University of Music.
The China Symphony Orchestra refused to use the piano to make friends, but instead proposed exchanges and discussions in composition.
When this news came out, all the teachers and students at the Warsaw University of Music immediately became excited.
"Composed on the spot? Who knows if they wrote it in advance!"
“I think we should find a third party to do the notarization, we should draw up a theme and create it on the spot!”
"Yes, we should find a third party other than Poland and China to witness!"
"Compatriots in the composition department, it's time to win glory for the country, it's time to show your heroism!"
"Let the Chinese people see what a real music palace is!"
"Although I think "Opera 2" and "Dance of the Goddess" are both very good, only the lead singer's high notes are very good. In terms of composition, our composition department is the most powerful!"
"We cannot underestimate that Chinese people can also write excellent works. "March of Steel Torrent" was written by Chinese people!"
The students at the Warsaw University of Music were so excited that they started running around the academy to tell each other.
However, the top musicians who proposed exchanges and discussions had no intention of letting students from the Warsaw University of Music perform.
Forget it for others, but what we are facing now is the lead singer of the China Military Art Symphony Orchestra——
Zheng!
This is an extraordinary lead singer!
Not only is he a top tenor, he is also a top composer himself!
The reason why the entire Military Art Symphony Orchestra is so popular in Europe has a lot to do with this lead singer. They have investigated each other, and the recently popular songs "Tennessee", "You Inspire Me", "Victory" and
"Soviet March" was actually composed by this lead singer named "Zheng Qian".
This is very scary.
Although most of these pieces of music have elements of pop music, to be able to achieve such an extent in pop music, their influence, status and quality are definitely not comparable to the classical music they studied.
The original proposal of "making friends with the piano" did not mean that it would make the other party retreat in the face of difficulties. At the very least, it could be regarded as making things difficult, which would increase one's own morale and lose the other's face.
But now that the ball was kicked back, they had to catch it.
In the field of music, Warsaw musicians are definitely among the best in the Western world.
Therefore, when the news came back, the musicians, led by top Warsaw pianist Dunlop, all immediately became vigilant, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"The symphony orchestra itself is nothing to worry about, but Zheng is a very powerful composer. My friend works at a university in China. He said that almost everyone in China knows about Zheng.
Performing on the stage, it is said that the stage has an exposure rate of hundreds of millions and can be seen by all Chinese people!"
"Zheng seems to be a member of the Communist Party. He works in the Cultural Industry Department of the Communist Party. It is said that he specializes in creative tasks!"
"It seems that this is a top Chinese composer with extremely rich creative experience. We must be prepared and not take it lightly!"
"Although I don't want to admit it, there is no doubt that this is a genius. He is only twenty-three years old, my God! Twenty-three years old!"
"What? Only twenty-three years old? What a joke!"
"Serciac, this is not a joke!"
"In time, Zheng will definitely have a place in the world music scene. At least now I have remembered his name!"
A group of top Polish musicians gathered together to discuss intensely the upcoming Poland-China composition exchange competition in the afternoon.
After rigorous investigation, they were amazed by Zheng Qian among them.
A twenty-three-year-old pianist may be amazingly talented, but he is still within the limits of understanding.
After all, many pianists start practicing at a young age, and there are many who are called child prodigies.
By the age of twenty-three, pianists are at their peak in condition and strength. This is also the age when many pianists are prone to winning awards frequently.
but!
It is absolutely difficult for a composer to compose music that shocks and moves the world without rich experience and emotions, as well as stunning literary talent.
But this Zheng from China seems to have unlimited inspiration!
One famous song after another that exploded in popularity proved this young man’s creative ability.
Looking at Zheng Qian's resume, Polish musicians once again fell into heated discussions.
at the same time.
After negotiating with the Warsaw officials, Zheng Qian and others took a short break and had a meal. At six o'clock in the afternoon, they began to set off in a commercial vehicle under the leadership of diplomats according to the established route.
Not all of them are confident, but they definitely don’t have any stage fright!
Maybe he can't compare with his opponent in terms of piano skills.
But in the field of composing, everyone knows and has confidence that Zheng Qian is the uncrowned king!
Over the past year, Zheng Qian has produced countless classic songs.
And the music is a classic, not only popular in China, but even if it breaks out of Asia and comes to Western countries, it is still sweeping the world.
Looking around, there are few opponents.
At this moment, the sunset on the horizon began to set.
The lights began to come on throughout Warsaw.
Night is coming!
Warsaw University of Music welcomed a group of musicians from China.
They rode in three black commercial vehicles with the five-star red flag printed on them, and slowly arrived at the campus of the Warsaw University of Music under the watchful eyes of nearly two thousand students.
Looking at those alert and wary eyes, Zheng Qian, who was sitting in the car, sighed slightly in his heart.
Different ideologies will lead to different positions on both sides.
Even the simplest action will be interpreted excessively by the other party.
At the same time, four composers and pianists from the United States, Russia, Germany, and Austria, jointly invited by Poland and China, also arrived at the scene.
It's a bit funny to say.
These composers and pianists basically come to the Warsaw Philharmonic Concert Hall to enjoy the performances of military art academies.
They had already booked tickets for the concert and arrived early to meet their friends in Poland.
I am just waiting for tomorrow to watch the performance of the China Military Symphony Orchestra, which has been very popular in Europe and the United States recently and has been reported and praised by many media.
But I never expected that something like this would happen.
At the invitation of their friends, these four industry celebrities finally appeared at the Warsaw University of Music and became witnesses of the "exchange" between the two parties.
The principal took this very seriously and came to receive it personally.
The musicians, led by the famous Warsaw musician Sergeyak, are already waiting in the school's largest piano practice room.
When musicians from the two countries met, they just nodded slightly without much communication.
On Zheng Qian's side, in addition to Lou Ze and Liao Min, there were conductor Song Huiming, pianist Xu Mingming, and some students who wanted to come over and cheer, totaling less than twenty people.
But when everyone arrived at the scene, they had a confident smile on their face.
This made many musicians and students in Warsaw feel unhappy.
"I hate their smiles, as if they have already won!"
"Teacher Serchiak will definitely let him see what crushing means later!"
"And Mr. Ricardo! He's here too. He's a great master who won the best composition for "Gramophone"!"
"Look, that blond beauty, she is Luisa, who was named the most talented composer under the age of 30 in the world by Rolling Stone magazine!"
"We have so many experts here. Look at them. They all look like they don't even have hair on them! They are still young boys!"
"They are the continuation of Soviet socialism. Looking at their hypocritical smiles, I shudder!"
The students in Warsaw were talking a lot and there was some commotion. Although the principal strictly prohibited the noise, the excitement and indignation of the students at the scene could not be restrained.
Although they couldn't enter the practice room, they still gathered in large numbers in the school square, waiting for the final results of the exchange meeting.
In the piano practice room, pianists and composers, led by Warsaw musicians Sergeyak, Ricardo and Louisa, were ready.
Zheng Qian and others also took their seats one by one.
For Sergeyak and others, there is no doubt that Zheng Qian and others are here to cause trouble.
But for Zheng Qian and others, they were obviously forced to fight.
The Warsaw Philharmonic Concert Hall could have stopped this so-called "exchange match", but it did not make up its mind to stop it. Apparently it also wanted to gain some fame and fortune from it.
The positions of all parties are different, and there will be a winner or loser tonight.
First in the competition, there is no friendship!
At the same time, the local media in Warsaw also came after hearing the news, and reporters from the Polish National Television arrived at the scene in person, and had prepared working equipment for radio and photography in the practice room early.
When the two parties began to "communicate", everything was developing towards an unpredictable ending under the camera.
At six-thirty, it becomes dark.
After the famous German composer Carnegie looked at his watch, he immediately stood up and began to explain the rules of the exchange meeting.
Four third-party notaries will propose the title, and both parties will start composing based on the title.
Best of three games.
Each game takes half an hour to create, and will be scored by four notaries after half an hour.
The competition system is simple and crude, and there will be no communication between the two parties during the period. In addition to preventing quarrels, the most important thing is that they do not speak the same language, thus avoiding direct verbal contact.
"first question."
Carnegie spoke fluent English and slowly said: "Both Warsaw and China suffered the devastation of war in World War II. I think there is nothing more suitable for the theme of both parties than thinking about 'war'. So, first
Let’s start your creation with the title ‘War’!”
"Note that you only have thirty minutes to create, and it must be created in real time, and it must be the first time. Once one party plays a familiar melody, I'm sorry, but this party will be eliminated immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of nearly a hundred people in the entire practice room began to glance back and forth between the Warsaw musicians and the Chinese musicians.
The musicians in Warsaw immediately took action, took out their music scores and began to compose the melody seriously.
As for the Chinese musicians, Lou Ze, Liao Min, Song Huiming and others all turned their heads and looked at Zheng Qian eagerly.
Zheng Qian fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Song Huiming whispered: "Brother Qian, why not just play "When That Day Comes"? You will definitely win! And they must have never heard of it!"
Lou Ze glanced at the cameras watching eagerly next to him, stretched out his hand and gave Song Huiming a quick slap on the forehead, and cursed: "Don't do anything bad!"
Song Huiming covered his head and laughed dryly.
Liao Min looked at Zheng Qian who was thinking and shushed: "Keep your voice down and don't disturb Zheng Qian!"
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and immediately fell silent.
Warsaw musicians think and write at the same time.
at the same time.
When they saw Zheng Qian and others who seemed to be stuck, they each sneered.
If you don’t have diamonds, you still want to get a porcelain job?
On the other side, after nearly ten minutes of thinking, Zheng Qian also began to take out a pen and paper and write and draw on the music score.
Different from the stumbling of musicians in Warsaw, the creative process involves writing and thinking for a while...
Once Zheng Qian took out a pen and paper, he wrote as fast as a tornado.
I saw notes and annotations beginning to take shape on the score at a rapid pace.
After a while, the curves of the entire score began to become densely packed.
Seeing this scene, Lou Ze, a master's tutor in the music major, began to be stunned.
I knew that Zheng Qian was very powerful in creation, but I never expected that he would be so powerful!
This is simply the speed of writing!
Zheng Qian actually thought hard for a long time...
A full ten minutes!
It’s not that he has run out of inspiration, but he knows too much about war-themed music and needs to carefully select it.
The first idea that came to his mind was the Russian songs "Holy War" and "Katyusha", but after thinking about it, these two pieces of music alone were not shocking enough. Since he wanted to write them, he naturally had to write them.
Only when the other party is convinced does he take the beating.
So after screening it many times, Zheng Qian felt that "Croatian Rhapsody" could better describe the scene after the war and was more suitable for the expression of thoughts!
The original song was composed by Croatian composer Hejic and adapted by classical music performer Maxim, who became famous in his previous life.
The music uses a bright rhythm to describe the tragic scenes of the ruins in the ashes of Croatia after being baptized by the war, and the setting sun reflected in the blood, tears and dust.
When he wrote "Croatian Rhapsody", Zheng Qian seemed to have countless notes tinkling in his mind.
This made Zheng Qian write faster and faster.
Notes appear in groups and one after another.
Lou Ze took a quick look and was not ready to look again.
Words that look like ghostly drawings!
Even seniors who have been immersed in the music scene for fifty years probably can't understand it.
And at this speed, in less than fifteen minutes, the entire song was completely written on the score.
It sounds a bit tricky.
The melody of "Croatian Rhapsody" actually has large repetitions to enhance the tension and memory of the music!
This saves the difficulty.
It also allowed Zheng Qian to have a cup of tea and carefully review the score several times before the creation time was over, after wasting ten minutes of thinking time.
The musicians in Warsaw almost worked together as a team. Everyone came up with some musical passages and pieced together the complete track in the fastest time.
Finally, half an hour passed.
Both sides stood up, and under the auspices of the German pianist Carnegie, the two sides began to draw lots to determine the order of appearance.
"Friends from the audience, this is Warsaw National Television. I am reporter Bellamy. What I am broadcasting for you now is a short but grand music exchange meeting between musicians from Poland and China..."
During the drawing of lots, local media reporters had already begun to quickly report on the situation at the scene.
At this moment, the cameras of Warsaw National Television are also rapidly filming this scene and broadcasting it on TV in real time.
In fact, domestic CCTV has already received this news.
Unfortunately, the media cooperating with CCTV did not have the opportunity or time to arrive at the scene, so after communicating with the National Television Station in Warsaw, CCTV also began to broadcast the scene in real time on CCTV 30 news channels.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening in Warsaw, and the time difference was a full six hours behind the capital.
In Beijing, the midnight news anchors Lu Yi, Miao Junkai, Wang Yuqi, Zheng Ziliang, Huang Feng and other six music channel hosts also rushed to the news desk immediately after receiving the notice and began to concentrate.
Concentrate on the commentary of the exchange game.
