Chapter 402 Questions from the Piano Professor
"Thanks to the sponsorship provided by iQiyi platform, we can meet on this wonderful night. I am the host Lin Zeyu!"
"Next, let's welcome Su Chen to the stage with the warmest applause."
Lin Zeyu was holding the microphone and wearing a well-fitting suit.
The photographer turned the camera toward the backstage and saw a beam of light falling from above.
A distant figure slowly approached.
When the camera zooms in.
Su Chen's figure and face also appeared in the camera.
The moment Su Chen looked up.
Countless netizens watching the live broadcast were stunned.
“Is this the peerless beauty?”
"Today is a glimpse."
“Isn’t this too beautiful?”
"But what is he doing here at this piano music exchange?"
"I still don't understand why Su Chen uses this kind of art when he can rely on his looks? And he doesn't seem to have much talent."
“Upstairs, this idea is a bit too dangerous. You should understand what our brother’s talent is before you speak.”
The barrage soon became noisy.
Under the light, Su Chen slowly walked in front of the crowd with a calm smile on his face.
Lin Zeyu passed the microphone to him.
"First of all, on behalf of the Central Conservatory of Music Piano Academy, I would like to thank Brother Chen for taking the time out of his busy schedule to come to this event!"
Lin Zeyu said with a slight smile.
Snap, snap, snap…
There was warm applause and cheers at the same time.
It is an honor for all of them that Su Chen can come here!
Su Chen nodded slightly.
"Hello everyone."
After greeting the audience, the interaction between Su Chen and Lin Zeyu was supposed to proceed according to the director's requirements.
But Lin Zeyu didn't have time to interact.
A white-haired old man in the audience raised his hand.
See the old man's actions.
Before Lin Zeyu could say anything, the other party stood up and started questioning him.
"Hello Su Chen, I am Cui Dongguo, a professor in the piano department of Seoul Conservatory of Music in Korea. You can call me Professor Cui."
After saying this, Cui Dongguo laughed strangely again.
"But there is one thing I don't understand. This is a classical piano music exchange meeting. Do you, a pop singer, know what classical piano music is?"
The contempt and disdain in his tone was like a stone at this moment, instantly causing a thousand waves inside and outside the venue.
Seeing this, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun couldn't help but want to immediately pull down this old man with bad intentions and throw him out!
Isn't it obvious that they want to embarrass Su Chen?
What did the organizer do?
How could you let such a thing happen?
Totally incompetent!
Lin Zeyu was also shocked by this question.
Looking at Su Chen beside him, he wanted to help.
But Su Chen gave him a relaxing look.
Obviously, he wanted to solve the problem himself.
The photographer had no choice but to give the camera to Choi Dong-guk.
Because it is a live broadcast, every move of the audience will be recorded and magnified in front of the audience.
Now, Cui Dongguo asked the question directly in public, which was equivalent to challenging Su Chen.
Whether it was Su Chen’s fans or passers-by, everyone was shocked at this moment.
However, in the eyes of teachers and students in Ugly Country, Sakura Country, and Kimchi Country.
What Choi Dong-guk said is also true.
Su Chen is indeed a pop singer.
He certainly doesn't know much about classical piano music, so isn't he just joining in the fun? Shouldn't he allow others to talk about it?
Therefore, teachers and students from various countries who had this idea immediately began to complain.
"Honestly, Professor Cui said what I was thinking."
"Su Chen is so disrespectful. He dares to join in the fun at any occasion."
"Who asked him to come here?"
"This is a classical piano music exchange, not a pop music venue. Get lost now."
"That's a bit too much. How can you ask someone to get lost? Su Chen must have been invited by Yangyin to come here. If you want to cause trouble, go find Yangyin, don't go after Su Chen."
"Some people are obviously Su Chen's fans at first glance! Why are there his fans everywhere? It's so annoying."
Cui Dongguo looked at Su Chen quietly, his eyes were calm and composed, and there was a hint of smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
Obviously, making things difficult for Su Chen in public brought him a lot of pleasure.
The main reason is that Su Chen himself has a terrifying level of attention, and his popularity is what Cui Dongguo desires.
Now, Su Chen came to the classical music exchange meeting without saying a word, so naturally he had to be prepared to be beaten.
If he knew how to behave, he would have given these elders a heads up in advance.
If I had just said something, I wouldn't have ended up in such an embarrassing situation.
Seeing that Su Chen was speechless due to his questioning.
The smugness on Cui Dongguo's brows became more and more arrogant.
He really couldn't stand Su Chen. What did a pop singer know about classical music?
Moreover, he has been in the piano industry for nearly half of his life, but he has only had a few opportunities to show up.
But why did Su Chen get to perform the opening act right at the start and steal everyone's limelight?
Of course, apart from these.
Cui Dongguo just wanted to take advantage of Su Chen's popularity.
If I could step on Su Chen’s shoulders to get to the top.
Even if it is a human blood steamed bun, eating this bite can at least guarantee you a worry-free life for the rest of your life.
Why would Cui Dongguo be unwilling to risk it all?
If he becomes famous today, he will definitely become an internet-famous pianist.
The more he thought about it, the prouder Cui Dongguo felt.
However, this sudden situation also brought dissatisfaction among the audience.
Many viewers frowned and looked at Choi Dong-guk with an expression that gradually became impatient.
"We came to participate in this classical music exchange meeting because of Su Chen. Do we really want to watch you guys make a big show?"
"Some people really have no self-awareness. They can play the piano and are a professor, but they start to randomly point to music?"
"Is he going to cause trouble?"
"Although Su Chen is a pop singer, his attainments in piano are not necessarily low. What is this guy doing?"
It wasn't just the audience who were complaining.
Even Liu Beihong felt annoyed.
He frowned and just wanted to go up and pull Cui Dongguo down, but now it was a live broadcast, and if he pulled him down, the matter would probably get even bigger.
At this moment, he even wanted to eat Cui Dongguo.
But at this moment, it was not just Liu Beihong who was fed up with Cui Dongguo's actions.
The teachers and students of the Central Conservatory of Music Piano Academy were also very angry about this.
This is their territory after all. As the invited party, we have to give the host some face no matter what.
Questioning Su Chen in public now, isn't that like a slap in their faces?
Many teachers and students clenched their fists and looked dissatisfied.
But the professors who were invited along with Cui Dongguo were secretly excited.
They didn't show it on their faces, but they glanced at Su Chen with a bit of gloating pride and excitement in their eyes.
Charles, Hiroya Tanaka and other music professors from various countries have long disliked Su Chen, but due to his status and the occasion, they cannot directly confront him.
But now, Choi Dong-guk can be described as a savior, speaking directly to their thoughts.
Before, all the music professors knew how popular Su Chen’s popularity and pop songs were.
Although those songs seemed quite impressive, in fact, in the eyes of these piano professors, they were just so-so.
Now, Cui Dongguo’s actions can be regarded as helping them vent their anger.
As these piano professors were thinking, their eyes were filled with disdain and contempt.
Under the spotlight, pressure seemed to be looming invisibly.
Lin Zeyu was holding the microphone, trying to help Su Chen ease the atmosphere and resolve Cui Dongguo's difficulties.
But Lin Zeyu hadn't said anything yet.
Su Chen picked up the microphone and said:
“I don’t know.”
His answer was still very concise, but he spoke what was in his heart.
He doesn't like to say anything particularly nice.
And his thoughts on Cui Dongguo's question this time were indeed as he said.
Because classical piano music cannot be summed up in a few words.
Whether he is good at it, including whether as a pop singer he should cross over into classical piano music, are controversial issues.
The key point is that from the moment this question arises, no matter what answer he gives, it is destined to be discussed.
If that's the case, then why bother worrying about these issues?
He sees the problem clearly.
But the audience, including those who watched this scene, were all shocked.
When Lin Zeyu heard Su Chen's words, he frowned subconsciously.
He looked at the audience below the stage and saw that all of them were in an uproar.
But the most fatal thing is not these, but the fact that there are pianists from various countries and their students in the audience.
Because of Choi Dongguk’s problem.
This exchange meeting is destined to be turbulent.
Pianists from various countries and their students all laughed in unison and started talking among themselves.
"He can't even explain classical piano clearly, and he still came to participate in this exchange meeting. Isn't this nonsense?"
"Speaking of which, why is the Central Conservatory of Music's Piano School so perfunctory? Can't they see who are the people coming this time?"
"Maybe it's because Su Chen himself has a lot of traffic, so the people over there don't care about these so-called reputations in order to make money, right?"
"It's so funny. I think this guy can't even play the piano. If Professor Cui Dongguo hadn't asked the question, we might have been kept in the dark."
"Yeah, this guy is nothing but a talent in pop music. Now he pops up and acts so high and mighty. He's really annoying!"
"I don't understand why he is so popular, but I am sure that from this moment on, his popularity will disappear!"
"Haha, that's really interesting! I didn't expect that this exchange meeting would make Su Chen collapse overnight!"
"By the way, Su Chen doesn't think that as long as he can play the piano, he can come to participate in the classical piano music exchange meeting, right?"
Both professors and students.
They all exploded.
The situation began to get out of control.
Looking at those people talking loudly about Su Chen, Liu Beihong felt very uncomfortable.
Because only he himself knew how much thought he had put into inviting Su Chen this time.
But now, with the discussions and reactions of the audience.
Soon, it also brought various attacks on the Internet.
Looking at the comments in the live broadcast room, they were all blaming Su Chen.
"Stop embarrassing yourself, okay? Get off the stage right now!"
"Oh my God, how can Su Chen have the nerve to stand there?"
"I already knew that Su Chen was incapable, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"I'm about to throw up. I've never seen such an annoying idol."
"He is no longer my idol. I have turned from a fan to a hater. Please pay attention and stop labeling me as a fan of so-and-so!"
"Me too."
"I'm the same as upstairs."
“…”
It takes almost a second to lose fans.
Seeing the public opinions coming in like this online.
Liu Beihong felt even more annoyed.
He knew how bad the situation was.
He looked at Su Chen on the stage. Although Su Chen was still calm, there was no fluctuation in his eyes and he was calm from beginning to end.
But Liu Beihong was still afraid.
Because the public opinion this time was too big, if Su Chen was ruined because of this, their Central Conservatory of Music Piano Academy would definitely pay the price.
Who made them grasshoppers on the same rope?
Su Chen has suffered, how can they escape the netizens' curses?
But compared to these things and public opinions, Liu Beihong is more willing to believe in Su Chen's ability.
He believed that Su Chen could turn the tables, but if the audience's voices could not have an impact on Su Chen, it only showed that Su Chen's core was extremely stable.
But at this moment, let alone Su Chen, even Liu Beihong, a bystander, could hardly stand.
Liu Beihong clenched his fists, hoping that Su Chen could stay calm and not be influenced by the audience.
But when Su Chen heard the discussions of the audience, he was not very moved.
He has become accustomed to silence; too much explanation would only lead to pointless arguments.
If the explanation could calm all the voices, there would be no waves without wind.
Just let these people talk.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun felt a lot more at ease seeing how calm Su Chen was.
Yes, according to their experience, whenever Su Chen showed such an expression.
That means Su Chen has a plan in mind.
It won't be too bad.
Because of Su Chen’s answer, not only did the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room explode, but even the comment section of Su Chen’s personal social media updates exploded.
"Oh my god, you really don't know your own worth, do you? You're already a pop singer, you should know that you have nothing to do with classical music, why do you still organize these exchanges?"
"This time the hype even involves the Central Conservatory of Music. It's so shameful!"
"It's over, it's over. You have already disgraced yourself beyond the borders."
"As a music student, this was the first time I felt humiliated. I never expected it to come from a pop singer!"
"Su Chen, get out of this circle and don't let us see you again!"
"My God, I have never seen such a disgusting person as Su Chen. Do they really want money and don't care about their dignity at all?"
"Please, Su Chen, please die quickly!"
"Why does he like pretending so much?!"
"On such an international stage, in such a world-class live broadcast, just for the sake of fame, just for the sake of pretending, you tear your face apart. What's the point of that?"
“…”
The moment the comment section collapsed.
All public opinions swept in from all directions like a tide, as if they wanted to envelop Su Chen and make it impossible for him to escape.
But unfortunately, Su Chen at this moment is like a rising star.
He looked at the audience quietly, and when he looked at Cui Dongguo, there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
He was too calm, which made Cui Dongguo feel uneasy.
But on second thought, Su Chen’s answer was a great shame for the Central Conservatory of Music Piano Academy.
Su Chen is so good at pretending at such a young age, he is really very resourceful!
