Chapter 289: Three Questions of Philosophy (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
Zhang Minghan has never felt so proud.
Being able to be stationed in Poland, which was slightly hostile to socialist countries, and serve as ambassador abroad, Zhang Minghan's job itself was full of hardships, but he never regretted it.
Every staff member stationed abroad has a high level of consciousness and will serve the country and the party till death.
As the socialist system continues to be demonized internationally, although our country's diplomatic environment has greatly improved after several years of efforts, it still does not have much say.
Zhang Minghan also thought about changing the status quo and worked hard secretly.
From the very beginning when he was transferred to Warsaw, Zhang Minghan actively worked to improve bilateral relations. However, after experiencing various things and being unable to do anything after many years of tenure, Zhang Minghan always kept a trace of grievance hidden in his heart while striving to move forward.
These stupid Poles!
Like all Western countries, Poland has never truly understood China's current development strategy, and has never looked squarely at China's tremendous efforts to lift its people out of poverty and become rich. The people just blindly believe in fabricated reports by the media.
Then use a magnifying glass to go back and forth and misinterpret every policy issued by China.
In an era when the Internet was not yet popular around the world, brainwashing by the media alone cultivated a large number of China-hating elements.
The so-called freedom and democracy seem especially ridiculous at this time.
It seems that in the eyes of Westerners, China has nothing to offer and has not made any contribution to the world.
Under such a harsh external environment, Zhang Minghan was surprised that the Military Arts Symphony Orchestra from China was so brilliant throughout Europe.
Now, when faced with the provocation from the musicians in Warsaw, he did not hesitate to give in and his performance was remarkable, which made Zhang Minghan's heart agitate.
But in fact, it’s more than just giving in more than enough?
When Zheng Qian played "Croatian Rhapsody", the majestic music seemed to transform into endless colors, as Zheng Qian's hands flew wildly.
Those hands, at this moment, flashed with dazzling light!
Then it was like a meteor falling to the ground, hitting the keys hard!
The room was filled with astonishment!
Dunlop's performance just now was elegant and pleasing to the eye.
Zheng Qian's performance at this moment is like a violent King of Destruction!
Those hands are like a pair of hammers, they want to smash the piano frame into pieces!
But the "beating" sound of the piano is so moving.
It’s simply an aesthetic of violence!
This made the Warsaw musicians and students present all look at it in a daze.
It's obvious that they are causing damage, but the sound of the piano is so unbearable that people can't help but listen carefully.
And the great pianist Dunlop, they have two completely different playing styles...
They each have their own characteristics and can attract people's attention immediately.
But seriously speaking, Zheng Qian's playing method at this moment is even more novel. The gesture of smashing the piano is unique and unique that no one has ever seen before, giving everyone a strange and fresh feeling.
The person involved, Zheng Qian, used the playing method of the previous pianist "Thor" Horowitz, and his performance also looked hearty.
While he was looking at the music score, his hands kept bouncing on the keys.
As the performance becomes faster and faster, the climax of the whole piece of music quickly comes.
At that moment, people seemed to see nameless tombstones devoured by the flames of war.
In the distance, the church turned into ruins. Among the ruins, a dancer in white danced gracefully against the blood-red rising sun.
Fighter planes roared overhead, tanks smashed through the walls, countless bullets flew away, and the craters on the ground became scars that could not be healed.
Amidst the violent bombing, life was harvested without dignity at this moment, leaving only the small light-colored flowers blooming from the rusty bullet shells, witnessing the last hope!
When the song ended, Zheng Qian suddenly stood up!
His hands were lowered on both sides. At this moment, many people could clearly see that one side of Zheng Qian's hands became slightly red, which was obviously the result of "smashing the piano" with all his heart and force.
People's pores stand upright.
The exciting tune seemed to be still echoing in my ears.
The shock in everyone's heart was only realized at this moment.
Applause sounded sparsely.
Liao Min, Lou Ze, Xu Mingming and others applauded vigorously, with uncontrollable excitement and smiles on their faces.
But the musicians in Warsaw opposite were silent at this moment.
Grand pianist Dunlop smiled and said nothing. He just waited quietly for the four notaries to discuss and announce the results.
The German composer Carnegie and three other famous pianists from the United States, Russia, and Austria looked at each other and entered into a detailed discussion.
Finally, the four people began to use hand gestures to inform everyone present about the voting results of the first exchange game.
"Four...four to zero!"
Someone exclaimed!
Zhang Minghan's heart trembled, and he quickly looked carefully and saw the arms of four industry experts pointing at Zheng Qian's position at the same time.
For a moment, he couldn't believe it.
Even Liao Min couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice at this moment.
A smile appeared on Lou Ze's face.
Song Huiming and others behind him almost jumped up, shaking hands and hugging each other with joy!
Look at the other side.
After a short period of silence, many students at the Warsaw University of Music began to become filled with indignation, and a garbled Polish message appeared in the practice room.
But under the scolding of the principal, everyone completely fell silent.
Dunlop showed a faint smile on his face and looked at his friends next to him.
The famous pianist and composer Sergeyak expressed his opinion for the first time. He said in a low voice: "This result is not unexpected. Mr. Dunlop's performance is naturally top-notch, but... our composition styles are not unified.
The work pieced together in a short period of time gives the piece a sense of fragmentation overall, not as complete as what the other party played, and..."
"And this Chinese young man's way of playing is very strange, rare, and very attractive."
Dunlop said: "We have to admit this. Zheng is not only a composer, but also an excellent performer. Although his way of playing is a little immature and immature, he has unlimited growth. This is a talented person."
As a young man, he has found his own style when it comes to playing, and his future is limitless."
Seeing what Dunlop said, the others also sighed.
The air was a little dull, as if the previous resentment and anger had disappeared in an instant.
I have to admit that there seems to be some gaps between the two parties in terms of composition.
At this time, Sergeyak and others gradually understood that the reason why Zheng Qian and others proposed the composition exchange competition was entirely because of their own confidence.
"The second scene, the theme is——"
Notary Carnegie pointed to the night sky outside the window: "Starry sky!"
Starry sky?
Everyone looked out the window. In the vast night sky, there were many stars, and a crescent moon was hidden in the mist, looming.
"We can no longer compose music together, Louisa. You are the youngest and most energetic composer of our time. This one will be completed by you."
Sergeyak looked at Louisa with a profound look: "We believe in your ability."
The musicians Dunlop and Ricardo next to them looked slightly moved and hesitated to speak, but in the end they did not say any words.
Louisa frowned, then relaxed her brows and nodded: "Thank you for your trust, I will do my best."
She felt like a mirror in her heart at this moment, knowing that Serchiak and the others had already decided to give up, and were already looking for a scapegoat.
They are all famous pianists and composers.
Once your reputation is damaged, it is difficult to make up for it and the losses will be huge.
Even Dunlop, who had been as steady as a rock at the beginning, was no longer firm at this moment, and his entire face had lost all color and was frighteningly pale.
The cameras around are recording slowly.
Everyone in Warsaw knows that at this moment, everything in the practice room is being broadcast live across the country.
The defeat in the first game has already caused many Poles to have a slight mental collapse.
The quieter the scene, the deeper the emotions accumulated.
Once it breaks out, it will be unthinkable.
Seniors, there is probably no way out.
And I am still young.
Louisa raised her lips and stood up.
She didn't complain.
For the sake of Warsaw and Poland, she knew she could not retreat at this time.
Even if you lose, you should still try your best to compete.
With firm belief, Louisa picked up the cardboard and music stand, went to the window, and started writing notes while looking at the dark night sky.
On the other side, Zheng Qian was not idle, and quickly began composing music according to the theme given by Carnegie.
Regarding the starry sky, it has actually been the most common theme that composers have encountered in their creations throughout the ages.
The starry sky is mysterious, mysterious, and elusive.
Exploring the stars and understanding the universe has always been what humans have been pursuing throughout their lives.
At this moment, the music about the starry sky in Zheng Qian's mind has been formed.
So, in front of everyone, Zheng Qian once again performed calligraphy with flying phoenixes, writing and drawing on the music score quickly.
Lou Ze couldn't hold back and took another look. He immediately closed his eyes and lamented endlessly.
What a ghost!
Just like the prescriptions given by old Chinese doctors in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, they are completely encrypted...
Except Zheng Qian himself, probably no one can understand it.
The piece of music written by Zheng Qian is the theme song of the science fiction movie "Interstellar", "Chasing in the Wilderness", also known as Chase in the Wilderness. The name comes from a plot in the movie.
This piece is also a classic by the great Hans Zimmer.
Like the previous work "Tennessee", it has a decisive influence in the field of film and television soundtracks.
At the same time, "The Wilderness" has not escaped the fate of being endlessly nested in a matryoshka, and has been endlessly inserted in many variety shows, TV programs, and commercials around the world.
Again, if Hans Zimmer pursues the case, the global copyright fees alone will be enough for him to achieve financial freedom.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. While many people were waiting anxiously and expectantly, Zheng Qian and Louisa drew lots respectively to start the order of appearance.
This time, Zheng Qian played first.
Louisa looked at the back of the man walking towards the piano, and suddenly felt that the back was so tall.
She pursed her lips and suppressed the frustration in her heart.
Despite constant inspiration, she still could not finish writing a complete piece of music in just half an hour.
…
"Viewers, we noticed that Zheng Qian took the lead in the second game!"
"According to the best-of-three exchange format, if Zheng Qian wins again this time, then there is no doubt that he will win the final Henry of this exchange game!"
"This means a lot to us!"
The anchors of the midnight slot of CCTV News also held their breath at this moment and began to nervously watch the content broadcast in real time from Warsaw.
Soon, when the sound of the piano came from the TV, all the viewers waiting in front of the TV felt something strange.
It seems as if the time hand is ticking non-stop, until it reaches the end of life, the end of reincarnation, and the universe returns to nothingness...
"Is this what the starry sky feels like?"
The viewers in front of the TV had such questions in their hearts.
Soon, as the levels of the piano sound gradually became richer, people seemed to see countless stardust...
At that moment, the young man playing the piano on the TV seemed to become a tangible entity.
The notes coming from the TV made everyone feel like dust floating in the universe, mysterious and moving.
Time seems to have stood still.
Like deathly silence.
Only the dense and breathtaking sound of the piano is left, constantly pouring into the ears.
…
When Zheng Qian played "Chasing in the Wilderness", this wonderful melody instantly caused an explosion in various music forums across the country!
Countless netizens got into excited discussions!
"It's so powerful! This music embodies the mystery and unpredictability of the universe so vividly. The listener is like the spaceship in the film floating alone in the universe. Time seems to have stopped. I have never felt such silence.
world!"
"In the sound of this music, I feel that my body is about to break away from the shackles, and I want to fly to the free sea of stars!"
"Damn it, I didn't feel it at first, but when I heard you say that, I got goosebumps all over my body!"
"Yes, it has a sense of picture!"
"It's hard to imagine how Zheng Qian could conceive of such a melody in such a short period of time..."
"Seeing those foreign devils looking dumbfounded made me feel relieved. I just like how these ghost guys look like they have never seen the world!"
"The sun we see is the sun 8 minutes ago, the moon we see is the moon 1.3 seconds ago, and the buildings one mile away are the ones we saw 5 microseconds ago. Even if you are one meter away from me, I see
You are the same person you were 3 nanoseconds ago - all we see is the past."
"Brother upstairs, if you can speak, please speak more!"
At this moment, modest fans all over the country got up to surf in the dark in the middle of the night. Every one of them was so excited that their noses were sore and their eyes were moist. They were discussing crazily with netizens, as if they had found a soulmate.
Inspired by the music, some people even had a sudden inspiration in the middle of the night, flipping through "The Origin of the Universe", "Relativity", and "Quantum Mechanics", and began to think about the birth of life, and finally issued a message to the entire Internet.
Three questions about human ultimate philosophy.
who I am?
Where do I come from?
Where am I going?
In Warsaw, Zheng Qian's stunning performance was also broadcast live on Polish national television during prime time and spread throughout the country.
