"Actually, we thought about inviting Teacher Wang Xuan, but Teacher Wang Xuan's musical achievements are mainly concentrated in the field of pop music, and the international music group coming this time is mainly in the field of classical music, so we did not invite him," someone said. .
Lu Zitao was speechless upon hearing this. In his opinion, these people are self-righteous and despise popular musicians.
To put it simply, people who play traditional music and people who play pop music cannot urinate in the same pot. Traditional musicians always feel that the traditional music they play is rich, elegant, and profound, while the pop music played by popular musicians is superficial and vulgar. They only know how to cater to the public, lack a deeper understanding of music, and cannot be on the stage.
But in Lu Zitao's view, there is not much difference between traditional music and pop music. In essence, they are both pleasing to people. His current creative direction is to try his best to integrate classical music and pop music to create piano music that can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people.
Another thing is that those who play pop music are not necessarily bad at traditional music.
For example, Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, these two are considered top-notch in terms of composition and instrumental music, and are not inferior to many people present. But just because the two are active in the field of pop music, they were not invited this time.
"Yes, Teacher Lu. The international music troupe coming this time is mainly composed of pianists, and you are our face when it comes to piano. It's up to you to win us glory this time." At this moment, Ye Gan Also said something.
"No! Chairman Ye, I can't bear this important responsibility of yours. In the domestic piano field, I may be a little famous, but internationally I am just a younger brother. In front of the top ten pianists, I am even more of a younger brother. I performed on the stage. It's okay to communicate with international music groups, but if you expect me to win glory for Chinese music, you are undoubtedly looking for the wrong person." Lu Zitao said quickly.
When Ye Gan and his group greeted him at the door before, he was a little confused and a little flattered. Now it seems that the reason is actually here, Ye Gan and others obviously regard him as the main force.
"Are you modest? Teacher Lu, you are not only famous in the domestic piano field, but also in the international piano field. You are internationally regarded as a talented pianist in China."
"Yes. Teacher Lu has won many awards internationally, which has greatly increased the reputation of our Chinese music. In the field of piano, in addition to the top ten international pianists such as Randall, Teacher Lu is also the number one An echelon figure."
"If we can't count on Teacher Lu, then who can we count on?"
After Lu Zitao finished speaking, many people said.
"This is why I want to ask you why you didn't invite Teacher Wang Xuan. Do you have any misunderstandings about Teacher Wang Xuan? Is Teacher Wang Xuan only good at pop music?" Lu Zitao said.
"That's what I want to say, Teacher Lu. I used to think that Teacher Wang Xuan just didn't come because he was too busy. Now it seems that you didn't invite Teacher Wang Xuan at all?" Teacher Peipei of the national team interjected. .
"Not to mention, the song "Four Little Swans" played by Teacher Wang Xuan on the stage of the National Song and Dance Troupe last year was not only used as a special dance music for the National Ballet, but also a special dance music for the world ballet. That song But can anyone here create a symphony?" Teacher Peipei's words were very sharp and she was not afraid of offending people.
"..."
"Furthermore, Teacher Wang Xuan said on stage that anyone could come on stage to ask him for advice regardless of time, place, or music type. Do you have the courage to say this?" Teacher Peipei added.
Although Lu Zitao is a piano genius, he is too young and has limited qualifications, so it is not convenient to say some things directly. But Teacher Pepe is different.
Teacher Peipei is almost over 50 years old. She is older than many people present and is one of the representatives of Chinese classical music. Even when facing Ye Gan, the chairman of the Chinese Music Association, Teacher Peipei dares to speak out. language.
"But the people who came this time were mainly people from the piano industry..."
"It's the same for everyone. Didn't you hear clearly what I just said? When Teacher Wang Xuan set up the stage for the national anthem, he said that he could be challenged in any music genre, including piano, of course." Someone said He said something, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Teacher Peipei.
"Teacher Peipei, don't speak with emotion. Let's talk about the matter. I don't doubt Teacher Wang Xuan's piano skills, but piano music is also divided into classical piano music and popular piano music, and this time I am coming from the classical piano world. ..."
"Then we need to ask Teacher Wang Xuan to take action. Do you know the classical piano piece "Canon"? Teacher Chen, don't say you don't know. Not long ago, the piece you composed used Canon chords. And Canon The chord comes from the classical piano piece "Canon", which was played by teacher Wang Xuan in Yanyin's open class. Now this piece of music is not only very famous in China, but also has caused huge repercussions abroad and has been listed on the list of It has been included in the international piano teaching materials." The man said again, but before he could finish the same sentence, Teacher Peipei pushed him back.
"..."
"Stop arguing. Teacher Peipei, let me apologize here first. It was my dereliction of duty for not inviting Teacher Wang Xuan. It has nothing to do with Teacher Chen. I invited all the people." Ye Gan said.
Teacher Peipei didn't say anything after hearing this. In fact, she didn't believe Ye Gan's lies. Although Ye Gan is the chairman of the Music Association, he only has the final say. Who is invited to come is decided by several heads of the Music Association. And the person she just contradicted was one of the leaders of the music association.
From what he said, you can tell that the Music Association did not invite Wang Xuan, which also means that the people in the Music Association do not like Wang Xuan at all. The problem is that Wang Xuan is the chief composer of the national team. Everyone in the national team is convinced by him, but people from the music association look down on him. What does it mean?
Does this mean that everyone in their national team is blind?
That's what Ye Gan said, otherwise she would have to theorize.
"Let me say something, Chairman Ye, I feel that you not only have misunderstandings about Teacher Wang Xuan's music level, but also about why international music groups come to our country to hold concerts." At this moment, Lu Zitao Said again.
Ye Gan was stunned when he heard this.
Many people were also stunned.
Why would an international music troupe suddenly come to China to hold a concert? This question has troubled Ye Gan and others for a long time, and they can't figure it out no matter how hard they think about it. But now, it seems that Lu Zitao knows the reason.
"Teacher Zi Tao knows the reason?" Ye Gan asked.
"If I said that the International Music Troupe came here for Teacher Wang Xuan, would you believe it?" Lu Zitao said.
"..."
"How is it possible? All the top ten pianists in the world are present. How can Teacher Wang Xuan be so proud?" someone said.
"But the truth is that big. You may not know how many invitations international music groups have sent to Teacher Wang Xuan in the past two years to participate in international music exchange conferences. Anyway, Teacher Wang Xuan's inbox is absolutely full. "Yes, but Teacher Wang Xuan always refused because he was busy and couldn't take time off. In desperation, the international music troupe had no choice but to organize a group to come to China." Lu Zitao said.
"No way?" Many people at the scene widened their eyes when they heard this.
Are you even unwilling to go to an international music exchange conference? After evading it again and again, the Key International Music Group is still not angry. For Wang Xuan, it even organized a group to come to China to hold a concert? How is this possible!
It's hard to imagine how much impact Lu Zitao's words had on everyone present.
"This is the fact. Let me just say one thing, don't you think my piano level is very high? But in fact, my piano level is nothing in front of Teacher Wang Xuan. In terms of piano level, Teacher Wang Xuan has already stood among the top ten in the world. Pianists are of the same height, but even better. This is why the International Music Group gives Teacher Wang Xuan so much respect, and why the pianists who came here this time are mainly pianists." Lu Zitao.
"hiss!"
As soon as these words came out, countless people at the scene took a deep breath.
Teacher Wang Xuan, one of the top ten pianists in the world? My mother, how is this possible? Can China actually produce the top ten pianists in the world?
Many people really couldn't believe it, but Lu Zitao's expression didn't look like he was joking. Moreover, only this explanation is the most reasonable. Because China has produced such a great pianist, international piano music troupes have traveled thousands of miles to organize music exchange meetings in China.
"Have you ever heard of the piano music "MARIAGED'AMOUR"?" Lu Zitao asked again.
"I've heard it. This piece of music is so nice and very famous. In the past two years, this piece of music must have been played at every international music exchange meeting. Randall has played it, Master Xiaog has played it, and Gerry has played it. Master Qi has played it...but it is rumored that none of them are original, and the original author is someone else." Someone said.
"There are rumors that the original creator of this song is a Chinese."
"It's not hearsay, the original author is Chinese." Lu Zitao said firmly.
"How can it be?"
"If this kind of piano music was really written by a Chinese, he would have been promoting it everywhere. Because how famous is this? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely promote it everywhere. To create such an awesome piece of music, But don’t let people know about it, just keep it anonymous, how stupid is that?”
"Perhaps they just don't take this reputation seriously? Another thing, who told you that they just borrowed Wuming?" Lu Zitao said.
"Huh?" Many people were stunned when they heard this.
Ye Gan thought of something and said incredulously: "Teacher Lu, don't tell me that "MARIAGED'AMOUR" was written by Teacher Wang Xuan."
"It was composed by Teacher Wang Xuan. When this piece came out, I was at the scene." Lu Zitao said.
"..."
"If it was composed by Teacher Wang Xuan, why is there no version performed by Teacher Wang Xuan at home and abroad?" Someone raised doubts.
"Because Teacher Wang Xuan played this piece at the Dengcheng Concert, and the live video of the Dengcheng Concert was not leaked, and Teacher Wang Xuan did not deliberately play this piece afterwards, naturally there is no Wang Xuan Teacher’s version.” Lu Zitao said.
"That's it." Many people said.
This explanation is also reasonable. Because it was a song that appeared at a concert and the live video of the concert has not been circulated, there is no Wang Xuan version of "MARIAGED'AMOUR" on any major platform.
And with Wang Xuan's popularity and reputation, he doesn't need to go out of his way to promote that "MARIAGED'AMOUR" was made by him. He is already very famous.
A super star, a top songwriter, a top singer, a top screenwriter in the entertainment industry, Yanyin's official professor, and a large entertainment company behind him. These titles and identities are enough for him to be popular in the entertainment industry. of.
etc...
Ye Gan suddenly thought of something and asked quickly: "Zitao, do you have Teacher Wang Xuan's contact information?"
Lu Zitao shook his head: "I only met Teacher Wang Xuan once, how could I possibly have his contact information? But if I hadn't had a physical accident at that time, I wouldn't have known that Teacher Wang Xuan's piano skills were so high."
Lu Zitao's words were full of stories, but now was not the time to listen to stories. Ye Gan quickly asked Teacher Peipei: "Teacher Peipei, you and Teacher Wang Xuan are both members of the National Song and Dance Troupe. Teacher Wang Xuan is also a member of the National Song and Dance Troupe." ’s chief composer, you should have his contact information, right?”
Peipei said: "Actually, I only met Teacher Wang Xuan twice."
"What about you? Does anyone have Wang Xuan's contact information?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"What should we do? According to what Zitao said, the International Music Troupe came here for Teacher Wang Xuan, but now, we didn't even invite Teacher Wang Xuan, and we don't even have contact information. Isn't this a joke?" Ye Gan I'm anxious.
Teacher Peipei was happy to see this. I was so happy that I thought, I told you to look down on Teacher Wang Xuan. Is this okay? You know it's urgent.
But this is not the time to gloat. The international music troupe is here for Teacher Wang Xuan. If Teacher Wang Xuan is not present, not only the National Music Association will be embarrassed, but the entire Chinese music industry will also be embarrassed. Do people think that the Chinese music industry only knows about infighting? Or maybe you feel that the Chinese music industry is blind, otherwise how could even people like Teacher Wang Xuan have advanced to the Chinese Music Association?
This kind of thing is something that Teacher Peipei doesn't want to see.
They are all members of the national team, so how could she not have Wang Xuan's contact information? Just now, I just deliberately made Ye Gan and others anxious. Now that I was happy, I vented my anger, so Teacher Peipei said: "Chairman Ye, I haven't finished speaking yet. I said that I only met Teacher Wang Xuan once, but I didn't say that I didn't have his contact information. .”
"..."
Do it on purpose!
Teacher Peipei definitely did it on purpose!
Many people secretly rolled their eyes.
Ye Gan can't control that much. Tomorrow morning, the international music troupe is coming. Since they are here for Wang Xuan, the most important thing now is to find Teacher Wang Xuan, at least to arrive at the scene the day after tomorrow.
So Ye Gan quickly asked Peipei for Wang Xuan’s contact information.
But Peipei shook his head: "Let me call him first. I can't give you his contact information without Teacher Wang Xuan's consent."
"OK!"
Peipei went to call Wang Xuan. After the call was connected, Peipei briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then asked Wang Xuan if he wanted to talk to Ye Gan on the phone.
In response, Wang Xuan shook his head: "Forget it! I will be there the day after tomorrow, but the phone call will be waived."
Wang Xuan also has a temper.
how to say? With his current fame and status, it is completely unreasonable that the Chinese Music Association did not extend an invitation to him. Naturally, Wang Xuan would not put his hot face on his cold butt.
The reason why he came to the scene was because Wang Xuan had long known that Randall and others were coming for him. He had sent him several emails recently, okay?
In the past two years, Randall and others have also been tirelessly sending him emails, at least 30 of them, inviting him to perform in foreign concerts, but Wang Xuan refused them all because he was too busy.
And now, they have all gone to China, so he can't still give him face, right? This was the main reason why Wang Xuan agreed to come to the scene.
Of course, if he could contribute something to Chinese music, and Wang Xuan happened to be able to contribute something, he would naturally be willing. After all, as a Chinese, who is responsible for the reputation of Chinese music as "the sick man of East Asia in the field of music" internationally?
