Yu Chengfei smiled and said, "It's normal if you don't know each other. Kazmer only extended the invitation to you because of the pressure from the Warsaw authorities. You previously challenged three powerful players from the other side in Warsaw, and you won the title in the battle.
A comprehensive victory has made Warsaw and even Poland the laughing stock of Europe. In the past six months, although they have blocked news at home, it is now a global market. There is no airtight wall in the world. The more they cover up, the more the news will spread.
The crazier it gets, now, not only the music circles in Europe, but also North America and even East Asia are talking about this matter, and Zheng Qian, you can be said to be famous all over the world because of this matter."
Zheng Qian quickly said modestly: "This is all the credit of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra. I really took advantage of it."
Jing Weimin smiled and tapped Zheng Qian with his finger: "Humility is a virtue, but excessive modesty is arrogance."
Cheng Long also heard this for the first time. He looked at Zheng Qian in surprise and suddenly said: "Zheng Qian, I agree with Chairman Jing Weimin. In China, modesty is indeed a virtue. Even excessive modesty is not a virtue."
People will criticize you, but in the Western world, the word modesty is not popular there. You must show that you are strong enough to win the respect of the Western world."
Zheng Qian nodded and said, "I understand."
The rise of the Western world began with the Age of Discovery, that is, from the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 16th century. However, even during the Age of Discovery, when facing our Ming Dynasty army, they suffered repeated defeats until the first industrial revolution.
The complete outbreak of the epidemic finally allowed the Western world to officially rise.
Before this, our agricultural civilization completely crushed the Western world.
The pirate gene laid down in the Age of Discovery has given the Western world a clearer understanding of strength, and the theory of strength alone has become popular throughout the Western world.
In China, modesty is a virtue, but in North America, whoever has a big and hard fist can dominate the discourse. Being modest will only make people think you are a weak loser with low self-esteem.
Zheng Qian also understands this truth.
Cheng Long, who has been in Hollywood for many years, has a deeper understanding of this truth than anyone present, so when he saw Zheng Qian being so humble, he couldn't help but give a few pointers.
"I promise to go."
Zheng Qian said: "But I don't know if the military art department is willing to let him go. After all, this is not an important concert..."
"Military Art Orchestra?"
Yu Chengfei smiled and said: "Sure enough, the angle you stand in is different, and what you say is different. For you, Zheng Qian, this may not be an important concert. I even think you don't even want to know who Kazmer is.
But for students of military arts, Kazmer is one of the last great musicians in the contemporary era. Regardless of winning or losing, it is already a great honor to meet Kazmer."
Zheng Qian laughed dumbly.
The famous basketball player Liu Dazhi looked at Zheng Qian with envy.
How rare it is to be able to win the respect of industry leaders in the international community. Liu Dazhi thought of his entry into the NBA in the past few years. As one of the most watched Chinese players in the NBA, Liu Dazhi also met many of his peers this year.
I encountered a rookie wall and my career entered a downturn.
Fortunately, the country did not give up on him. Not only did they jointly elect him to become the image ambassador of the Beijing Olympics, they also asked him, who was often on the bench, to return to China to participate in training and prepare for the Olympics. They even wanted to hand over the leadership of the national team to him.
This moved Liu Dazhi beyond measure.
It's a good feeling to have the motherland behind you, but if he can't get results by then, Liu Dazhi feels that he won't be able to face Jiangdong's father even if he has a caesarean section.
Therefore, Liu Dazhi envies Zheng Qian very much. He envies that Zheng Qian has achieved such dazzling achievements in his own industry and even internationally. Even the great masters in the same industry in the world want to learn from Zheng Qian.
Let’s see if Zheng Qian has time and is willing to...
In the past, even Liu Dazhi would not believe this kind of treatment.
The discrimination against yellow people in European and American countries is real.
but now……
He looked at Zheng Qian, his eyes full of admiration and adoration.
Zheng Qian had actually felt the fiery gaze of Liu Dazhi, a tall young man who was 1.92 meters tall. He even felt a little hairy in his heart. However, after all, he was the main force of the national team and a well-known Chinese basketball player in the NBA, so he was attracted by him.
After watching it feverishly, it was hard to say anything.
Fang Yaping actually noticed this scene. She found it very interesting. She even felt that Liu Dazhi looked at Zheng Qian with eyes filled with admiration.
But at the same time, she also noticed Zheng Qian's slightly embarrassed evasive look. Knowing that Liu Dazhi, an upright young man, was not good at expressing emotions, she directly said: "Dazhi has always liked Zheng Qian's songs. It can be said that they are yours."
He is a loyal fan. When I first came here, I saw the song "Fireworks Easily Cool" being played on his mobile phone. Speaking of which, I also like this song very much. Is it Chinese style?"
"Yes, Sister Yaping."
When Fang Yaping took the initiative to chat with Zheng Qian, he quickly smiled politely and said: "I can be liked by you and Brother Dazhi, which means that my songs are not bad."
Everyone laughed.
The tense atmosphere that had just been challenged by Kazmer disappeared instantly in the laughter.
Everyone could see the confidence in Zheng Qian's heart.
What if the other party is an internationally renowned musician?
In this industry, the competition is not about age, but talent.
Yu Chengfei smiled and said: "Lausanne is the capital of the Olympics. This promotional meeting has already attracted much attention. This time it coincides with Kazmer's challenge to you. I believe it will attract the attention of the whole world.
"
"Yes, in front of the whole world, this is a good moment to win glory for the country. It is a rare opportunity."
Cheng Long patted Zheng Qian's arm and said with emotion: "Before I came here, I also heard that you are a talented person who has been invited by the five major concert halls. You are also very popular in Hong Kong. I often listen to the song "Really Love You"
Oh, it’s just that I didn’t expect you to be so young and promising. Oh, by the way, our company signed a new person named Wang Gang. He used to hang out with you, Zheng Qian, right?"
"Yes." Zheng Qian said: "Wang Gang used to be my assistant. He has good skills and a strong body. I recommended him to go to Chengjiaban. I didn't expect you to know him too, brother."
"To be honest, I just found out."
Cheng Long smiled and said: "So I immediately asked someone to sign him. Don't worry, I will give him a position in my drama later. Young people, as long as they are strong enough, all they need is an opportunity."
Hearing this, Zheng Qian immediately poured a cup of tea for Cheng Long himself, and then clinked the cups with Cheng Long in full view of everyone: "Brother is right, what young people lack is an opportunity. I will use tea instead of wine to thank eldest brother on behalf of Wang Gang."
.”
Cheng Long smiled and said: "I want to drink real wine. My birthday is coming soon. Please don't refuse if I invite you. Give brother a face and you won't come home until the time comes."
Zheng Qian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be there when you call me."
Seeing that Zheng Qian and Cheng Long were so familiar with each other in just a few words, Liu Dazhi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He quickly followed Zheng Qian's example and poured a cup of tea with everyone present, and then replaced the wine with tea.
After drinking it all, he stammered: "You are all my seniors. Even Zheng Qian is younger than me, but his knowledge and knowledge are far above mine. Thank you everyone for giving me
This opportunity is sitting here..."
Jing Weimin smiled and said: "Dazhi, you are the pride of our Chinese basketball community, don't belittle yourself too much."
"Well, a temporary setback is nothing."
Yu Chengfei said slowly: "Everyone has encountered countless setbacks before he rises. Don't look at Zheng Qian's success at such a young age. In fact, more than a year ago, he had a much worse life than you. Zheng Qian, I
Don't take it personally, I just want to comfort Dazhi, who is now being ostracized in the NBA."
"It doesn't matter. In fact, where there is a will, there is a way."
Zheng Qian said with a smile: "I have always had a firm belief. I believe that Brother Dazhi will find his own path. I look forward to the day when Brother Dazhi will enter the Hall of Fame."
When Liu Dazhi heard what Zheng Qian said, he immediately ran over excitedly and clinked glasses with Zheng Qian: "Okay, okay, Zheng Qian, you will be my good brother from now on!"
Zheng Qian looked at Liu Dazhi, who was half a head older than him, as happy as a child. He also felt happy for a moment. He stood up and drank tea with Liu Dazhi instead of wine.
In his impression of his previous life, Chinese basketball players who could enter the NBA in this era could basically set off a wave of popularity in the country. Although Zheng Qian doesn't know much about basketball in this era now, since Liu Dazhi can join the national team
The fact that the basketball team has taken the lead is obviously the focus and expectation of the party and the country. It is also believed that Liu Dazhi will eventually lead the national basketball team to achieve certain results in the future Olympic battlefield.
"Okay, Dazhi, relax, you are now the ambassador of the Olympic Games, pay attention to your posture!"
Jing Weimin laughed and cursed.
Liu Dazhi chuckled, apologized to everyone present, and then returned to his seat, laughing non-stop.
…
Meanwhile, Poland, Warsaw.
The famous great musician and conductor Kazmer led the entire Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra to stand in front of the TV and watch a video.
This is the just-concluded United Nations medal ceremony. Chinese musician and educator Zheng Qian was personally decorated by UN Secretary-General Liu Zhen and was awarded the title of United Nations Peace Ambassador.
After giving an impassioned acceptance speech, Zheng Qian came to the piano next to the podium and sat on the piano bench in full view of everyone.
Then, I saw him rounding his arms, clenching his fists, and hitting the keys with force from top to bottom.
Seeing this scene, Kazmel frowned.
The expressions of the members of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra behind him all changed slightly.
Among them, Louisa, Sergeyak and Dunlop, three famous talented pianists and musicians, had even more unpredictable expressions.
This posture...
This face that smashes Qin...
The three of them are so familiar!
Even the members of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra are very familiar with this kind of behavior, because in the past six months, they have also learned more about Zheng Qian in all aspects.
I have studied Zheng Qian's every move and look to the extreme.
Now, seeing this piano smashing master repeat his original behavior again, people were excited and hesitant for a while.
Then, music started playing on the TV.
The intense and exciting piano sound, accompanied by a trace of solemnity and sorrow, appeared in everyone's ears.
"This is a World War II rhapsody."
Dunlop, a young 35-year-old talented pianist, had a hint of bitterness in his mouth. Six months ago, he was defeated by this crazy "World War II Rhapsody" and completely became the laughing stock of musicians all over Europe.
It can be said that Zheng Qian became famous in the world music scene entirely by virtue of this song, stepping on Dunlop's head.
Everyone was silent at the moment as they watched the young man's performance on the TV.
The clear and crisp sound of the piano was like the tinkling of spring water, gathering into a huge river.
When those fists hit the keyboard.
In an instant, it was like a heavy truck that accelerated to 300 miles and transformed into a little goldfish and jumped into the sea.
Such a strange feeling shocked everyone.
"It's exactly the same scene as before."
The well-known composer Louisa was shocked, and her fear of being dominated by Zheng Qian was recalled in her mind.
"This Zheng Qian became famous because of his playing style."
Sergeyak smiled bitterly and said: "But I have to say, it's amazing. Most people wouldn't think of this idea. Even if they think of it, to be honest, it's a bit fiddly."
All the Philharmonic Orchestra members nodded slightly.
The skills of this young man from the East may be secondary, but when he plays, his flying fingers are like galloping horses, and when he plays chords, his palms are like steel, which can make thunderous roars.
This is not something ordinary people can do.
His hands were like hammers, and the sound he made when hitting the keys was extremely loud.
Therefore, in today's music world, Zheng Qian has a vague nickname, "The God of Thunder in the Piano World"!
When heavy chords are struck on the keys, the roaring sound like a huge wave is so violent, fast and shocking!
All the musicians felt a wave of heart palpitations.
"Did he really write this in a matter of minutes?"
For a long time, Kazmer, who stood at the front and watched silently, turned around and asked calmly: "Do you believe it?"
"Although it's very believable."
Louisa said softly: "But he did write the tune in a short time and played it immediately. I checked later and found that no such tune existed in history."
Dunlop said: "Perhaps in the first competition, we thought it was the other party's hidden song, but for four consecutive rounds, we can come up with amazing works..."
When he said this, Dunlop's face became a little hot.
Four rounds in a row!
All lost!
Repeated battles and defeats!
"He is indeed a great Chinese..."
Kazmaier said slowly: "You didn't lose unjustly, but since he is good at composing, let's just avoid this, right? Performers, in the end, we have to let our performances speak for themselves. We at the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra
The orchestra is famous all over the world, and every member is a top musician in the world, but the so-called China National Art Symphony Orchestra is just a group of college students, how can it compare?"
Everyone nodded vigorously.
If we talk about creation alone, we may not stand a chance against this terrifying composer.
However, Kazmaier's words let them know that in the face of real strength, all so-called threats are nothing.
