Chapter 500: Just Came to See Su Chen
It is foreseeable.
After Su Chen's performance tonight, the status of domestic classical musicians in the world will be raised to a higher level.
It is in such an internal and external atmosphere.
This piano exchange meeting has begun.
Teachers and students from major music academies in the country took the stage to perform in an orderly manner in order.
Everyone who appeared on stage was fully alert and performed with all their might.
However, in the live broadcast room, the reactions of netizens were quite cold.
"What the hell are these? I'm sorry I don't know how to appreciate them!"
"You can see that they all played very hard, but I just couldn't grasp the beauty! Is this the reason why classical music is difficult for the public to accept?"
"Okay, I just want to know, when will Brother Chen appear?"
"It's a bit rude to say that, but I just want to see Brother Chen appear soon!"
"Classical music is really too stereotyped. They even criticized Su Chen for adding pop elements to classical music!"
"Have you ever thought that after Su Chen added popular elements, classical piano will be more popular with the public!"
"I'm really looking forward to it! I hope Su Chen's "Chinese Rhapsody" will bring us surprises!"
“…”
In fact, it’s not just netizens in the Ugly Country who are like this.
Most netizens around the world feel the same way.
They came here to watch Su Chen's performance, or, to put it bluntly, many netizens came here simply to watch Su Chen, regardless of what Su Chen performed.
So even though the performances by the professors and students from various music conservatories that had performed earlier were quite brilliant, they just couldn’t arouse their interest.
So, for a moment, netizens calculated the time and thought that it would take at least until half past eleven for Su Chen to appear on the stage. In this case, instead of watching these messy people "playing nonsense" there, it would be better to use this time to do something else.
Suddenly, many netizens left the live broadcast room.
This was reflected in the number of viewers: the number of people online in NBC's exclusive live broadcast room of the piano exchange meeting suddenly dropped sharply.
Looking at such data, NBC executives were very upset.
Twenty million!
From more than 100 million online viewers at the beginning, within a few minutes, there were only 20 million online viewers left!
Is such a small number of viewers worth a million dollars in broadcasting fees?
This made NBC's top executives begin to doubt the correctness of their decision.
You know, they bought the broadcasting rights for this exchange meeting not for charity, but for commercial gains.
Alas, perhaps the sensational effect will only appear when Su Chen appears.
The top executives of NBC can only hope that Su Chen can save the situation. Otherwise, if the current ratings continue, their investment this time may be a loss.
The opposite is true.
Seeing this, other television media companies in the Ugly Country began to gloat over the misfortune.
NBC, didn't you immediately give a high price for this exchange without even thinking about it?
Looking at it now, the ratings aren’t that great!
Although, compared with previous piano exchanges, this number of viewers is already an explosion.
But compared with other events Su Chen attended, this data is nothing.
As a result, some remarks mocking NBC began to appear on the U.S. Internet.
"It turns out that it is unwise to put all the eggs in Su Chen's basket! NBC will pay the price for their superstition!"
"Su Chen is not omnipotent!"
"The reason why unpopular music is called unpopular is because not many people like it. This will not change because of the attendance of a certain star!"
"The market has taught NBC a profound lesson!"
"The ratings are secondary. What we are more worried about is whether Su Chen will make a fool of himself at the classical piano exchange meeting."
“…”
Of course, seeing such remarks, Su Chen’s die-hard fans immediately stood up to refute them.
"People who say these things have definitely never heard our brother Chen's piano performance!"
“Ignorance is not fatal, but ignorance plus bigotry is deadly!”
"Brother Chen's status in the classical piano world can already be described as a master!"
"Don't think that Brownie, the world's number one pianist, is a fool! Anyone who thinks so is a fool!"
“…”
When the vast majority of domestic fans saw this situation, they joined the ranks of condemning the incident.
Anyway, they can't concentrate on the content of the piano exchange meeting at this time, so why not use this time to release their emotions?
"Before you evaluate Brother Chen, please listen to the original piano music he released first!"
"'Flight of the Bumblebee', 'Castle in the Sky', 'March of China', each of these songs is a classic!"
"Just wait and see. I have a feeling that Brother Chen will perfectly combine pop and classical music this time!"
"Ugly Country should thank Brother Chen, because it was Brother Chen who brought the attention of Ugly Country's classical piano to the whole world!"
“…”
In this boring time.
Su Chen also saw some such comments.
But Su Chen did not participate in such a wall-tearing battle.
Because Suchen always believes in a motto: facts speak louder than words.
There is no point in talking too much empty words.
The best way to counter these remarks is to give a perfect performance.
confidence?
Of course Su Chen is full.
In another time and space, Maxim was hailed as the best pianist who combined classical and pop music.
Here, with Su Chen's master-level piano playing level and various master-level music levels, it is no exaggeration to say that Su Chen's level is definitely above Maxim's.
Let’s take a look at the level of the pianists in this time and space?
Charles, Browne, the world's top pianists, are just like that.
In this situation, if Su Chen has no confidence in his performance, then something must be wrong.
At this time, Brownie's heart was actually filled with joy.
Twenty million online viewers!
This is already dozens of times more than previous piano exchanges!
Yes, in various piano exchange meetings held in the past, not to mention that very few platforms were willing to broadcast them.
Even if there were one or two live broadcasts occasionally, the number of online viewers never exceeded 500,000.
But now, the number of online viewers has suddenly reached 20 million!
This does not include the peak value of over 100 million at the opening!
This is equivalent to promoting classical piano on a large scale!
In fact, the teachers and students from the major music conservatories who have already appeared are all very excited.
When have they ever performed in such a grand scene in their lives?
More than 20 million people are watching their performance!
This was something they had never dared to dream of before!
Moreover, at the same time, they were surprised to find that they had also indirectly become a hot topic.
"The Juilliard School piano exchange session was so hypnotic!"
When you click on this entry, you will find that netizens from all walks of life have made meaningful complaints about the teachers and students who have appeared.
"It sounds nice, but I almost fell asleep while listening to it!"
"Indeed! The hypnotic effect is great!"
"Hypnosis +2!"
"There's a reason why unpopular music is called unpopular. Look at everyone's reaction. That's why it's unpopular!"
“…”
Yes, even though this is an entry criticizing their performance, they still became a trending topic anyway.
It is no exaggeration to say that if they had not appeared on this scene with Su Chen's participation, they would never have received such high attention in their lives.
So, from this point of view, no matter what they think of Su Chen, they must thank Su Chen.
Such a performance is exciting and thrilling for the teachers and students who participate.
But for the majority of netizens, it is quite boring.
Because of different aesthetic tastes, most netizens cannot grasp the beauty of these piano pieces.
Except for a very small number of world famous pieces played by top piano professors, which netizens find more comfortable listening to, netizens feel that most other pieces sound like lullabies.
Until Sane, director of the Curtis Institute of Music’s piano school, took the stage.
Netizens gradually became interested.
Because the Curtis Institute of Music has long been the world's top music school.
To be exact.
The Curtis Institute of Music and the Juilliard School have been taking turns to occupy the world's number one throne for many years.
So, from this point of view, these two music schools are in the most direct competitive relationship.
Can Sane's appearance help Curtis Institute of Music regain some face?
This is a question that many netizens are very interested in.
Moreover, before we knew it, we had already reached the third to last program!
In other words, the next program will be Brownie's performance, and the next program will be Su Chen's appearance.
The most exciting part of the exchange meeting has arrived, and netizens are of course in high spirits.
Otherwise, I would really fall asleep! What if I fall asleep and miss Brother Chen’s performance?
Wouldn’t that mean I’ve spent this whole night in vain?
In the spotlight.
Sane walked onto the stage in a black dress.
However, after sitting down at the piano, Sane did not start playing.
Instead, he spoke into the microphone:
"Mr. Su Chen, I heard that your piano skills are among the best in the world."
"As it happens, after several years of polishing, I have just completed a rhapsody. I would like to ask Mr. Suchen for some advice."
boom!
As soon as Sane said this, it immediately caused a sensation at the scene.
You know, according to the program, the song that Sane was going to play was not a rhapsody at all! This was a sudden idea of Sane, who deliberately changed the performance track to target Su Chen!
because!
The next piece of music that Su Chen was going to play was a rhapsody.
Sane's move can be said to be a tit-for-tat confrontation!
Sane's operation immediately won the praise of some teachers and students on the scene.
Professor Sane is awesome.
As expected, if you want to teach Su Chen a lesson, you still have to look to Professor Sane.
Although there were many world-class pianists on the scene, even Charles, one of the top ten pianists in the world, had to bow to Su Chen.
Unless Charles is trying to cooperate with Su Chen's hype.
But which pianist does not cherish his reputation as much as his own life?
How could you do such a stupid thing?
This proves that Su Chen is also quite capable.
Other pianists cannot say with confidence that their level is higher than Charles.
In other words, they were not sure that they could defeat Su Chen.
Therefore, the teachers and students from the major music academies who had appeared before were all honest and finished their performances before leaving the stage. No one dared to actively provoke Su Chen .
To put it bluntly, they don't have the confidence to challenge the entire network.
But now, Professor Sane's declaration of war gave them hope of teaching Su Chen a lesson.
You know, Sane is the second best pianist in the world after Brownie!
Moreover, the difference between his level and Brownie's is only a millimeter.
There is no clear difference between the two of them.
It’s just that some organizations have combined the strengths of all aspects and ranked Brownie first.
Some people have even understood that Sane is declaring war on Bronny.
Brownie, don’t you regard Su Chen as your savior?
However, if the strength of this savior is not as good as Sane, wouldn’t this be a slap in the face of Bronny?
Also, Sane released an original piano piece at this time, but, Bronny, what about you?
Aren’t you known as the world’s number one pianist?
How come you can’t even produce an original piano piece?
All of a sudden, under the watchful eyes of the whole world, he was directly outshined by Sane!
at this time.
The live camera and the eyes of everyone at the scene were all focused on Su Chen.
Everyone was very curious about what kind of response Su Chen would come up with.
The on-site staff immediately and tactfully handed a microphone to Su Chen.
To be honest, Su Chen didn't want to pay any attention to Sane at all.
If you want to publish Rhapsody, just publish it. Why do you have to drag me into it?
It’s not that Su Chen deliberately despises Sane. Is the rhapsody you composed comparable to the rhapsody I’m about to perform?
However, under the gaze of countless people around the world, Su Chen certainly could not remain silent.
People will think you are a coward if you act that way.
Not only will you lose face for yourself, but you will also lose face for the entire China.
"Please start your performance."
Su Chen could only make a polite response.
How can I give you instructions when you haven't even started playing?
Besides, the primary purpose of this global live broadcast conference is communication. Even if you have questions, it is not easy for me to give you advice publicly.
Doesn't that make me look arrogant?
Seeing that Su Chen was finally forced out by him, Sane showed a victorious smile.
Sane's purpose was to embarrass Su Chen.
Now it's up to him to perform.
But Sane didn't think that someone like Su Chen could give him any advice.
He Sane is one of the best pianists in the world!
What is Su Chen?
You can call Su Chen a pop king, but this is the field of classical piano.
Who is Su Chen?
I'm afraid all the piano professors here are better than Su Chen?
