crazy!
The global media went crazy.
Shocking news came out one after another.
Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Yahoo... and many other international social platforms are all covered by similar news.
Netizens were even more excited.
"Oh my god, is this true? All these great music masters are out of business?"
"Did something happen? Why is it so sudden?"
"I remember Master Simon said some time ago that it was impossible for him to participate in the 'International Music Hall Night'."
"And Stephen said the same thing. Why did he regret it all of a sudden?"
"Is there something mysterious about this palace night that attracted the masters to come?"
Incredible.
Unbelievable.
What followed was the madness of music enthusiasts around the world.
"quick!"
"Buy a plane ticket."
"Book a hotel."
"Hurry up."
"Working? You have to take a bird shift."
"This kind of scene is unprecedented, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Originally, the "International Music Peak Night" was the most attractive event for many music lovers, but many people were unable to go to New York to watch it in person due to family and work constraints.
but now!
They can't wait any longer!
With so many greats from the music industry coming together, the attraction for them has exploded.
Almost only half an hour after the news report.
All the hotels in New York were sold out. Fortunately, the aviation here is highly developed, but air tickets were once tense.
at the same time.
The organizers of the "International Peak Night" were confused.
They had tried every means to invite a master in the music industry to sit at the event, but all to no avail. But I didn’t expect that just a few days before the event, all these music masters would come as if they were crazy?
What's going on?
No matter what, it is a blessing from heaven for the organizers.
Because so many music masters come, it means that this "International Music Hall Night" will definitely create an unprecedented grand occasion.
…
Wang Mo didn't know that it was him who flapped his wings that caused this situation.
Having returned to the hotel now, he was a little surprised when he saw the news: "What's going on? So many music bosses suddenly came?"
beside.
Zhao Shu was still in a state of shock and confusion: "It's simply, it's simply."
Wang Mo asked: "Hasn't this happened before?"
Zhao Shu smiled bitterly: "Of course not. Not to mention so many top musicians gathered together. In many international top music competitions, even the presence of a music master can cause a sensation. After all, these music masters have already achieved fame and fortune. They simply don’t bother to participate in various commercial activities. They will only enjoy life in a semi-retired state, and that is more conducive to their creation. They will not be obsessed with the world.”
Wang Mo nodded in approval.
Music creation must be successful in a special environment.
Many great works in history were created because of the rich experiences of musicians. If these musicians are blinded by money, they will basically become mediocre.
Sighed.
Zhao Shu shook his head and said: "It is a good thing and a bad thing that so many music masters come. The good thing is that with their joining, the children I brought and even me can see the big scene, and if there is a chance, they can get to know each other." One or two masters have benefited a lot. But the disadvantage is: with so many music masters joining, I'm afraid, Xiao Wang, you will never be able to get ahead. Originally, I was thinking that with your joining, we in China would be able to compete in this grand ceremony. To be in the limelight. Well now, with so many music masters here, it will be difficult for you to attract attention no matter how outstanding your performance is. Sigh...you think, why are we so unlucky?"
Zhao Shu sighed continuously.
Although he knew that Wang Mo was extremely talented at the piano, even Miyata Jiro was defeated by him.
However, in Zhao Shu's mind, compared to these international music masters and piano masters who are at the top, Wang Mo still has a huge gap.
If Xiangtian, Simon and others don't come, Wang Mo will definitely shine brightly and make China famous in this battle.
But with these masters, where is the chance for Wang Mo to shine?
Wang Mo, on the other hand, smiled when he heard this and said: "Mr. Zhao, there is an old saying in China: Once you come, let it be. So why do you need to think so much?"
"Too."
Zhao Shu laughed dumbly, and then said: "I am too old to be open to you. I guess this is also the reason why I can't make further progress in music. Okay... then let's take it as it comes. In fact, this time I am too greedy. If you look at it from another angle, in this music festival, we can meet so many music masters, and you are joining us, it should be a good thing in pairs."
"exactly."
Wang Mo smiled.
Zhao Shu's heart became relaxed.
But he didn't see Wang Mo's smile getting brighter.
good!
very good!
They're all here!
For Wang Mo, what could be better than this?
…
In a manor in New York.
Aida, Romando, Simon, Stephen, Rudolf... almost seven or eight of the world's top musicians gathered here.
In addition, behind every master there are many disciples.
Any one of them will be a famous pianist internationally. However, here, they are not even qualified to sit down.
Aida looked around and said with a smile in slightly accented English: "I didn't expect that all my old friends are here."
Romando raised his glass and said: "Mr. Aida, we don't want to come, but who would have thought that an old guy like you doesn't have martial ethics and would still come to compete for honor at your age. Of course we can't just sit back and wait for death."
Stephen nodded: "Yes, Mr. Aida, you... don't talk about martial ethics."
Rudolf: "That's why we have to come, otherwise on the night of the palace, it will become the home field of you Fuso people, and I will be scolded as shit by the people in our country. Aida, your behavior is extremely shameful, everyone We all made a tacit agreement not to participate in the music festivals of the younger generation, but you broke this rule. You even made the vacation life I finally decided to lose. Tell me, how should you compensate me for my losses? "
Simon spread his hands: "What Rudolf said makes sense. I heard that you are all coming, so of course I will come too. That's fine, old friends, we haven't gotten together for almost twenty years, otherwise Let’s take this opportunity to see if you have any proud works in the past twenty years.”
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone raised their eyebrows.
"Hahaha, that's exactly what I meant."
"Now that I'm here, I will compete with you."
"It just so happens that I wrote a good song recently."
"Huh? What a coincidence, I also composed a piece of music."
"Look who's standing still?"
"Look who's ability has regressed?"
"Then let's compare."
"received!"
The group of disciples standing behind them heard this with excitement.
The words of these masters mean that the upcoming "International Music Hall Night" will probably set off a great battle.
A battle between masters?
Thinking about it makes me excited.
However, only one person frowned, and that person was Jiro Miyata.
The first reason why he frowned was that everyone regarded his teacher Aida as the troublemaker. The second reason was that while he was listening to these masters chatting happily, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, a figure that was too young. .
But he was not qualified to speak here, so he still stood silently.
It was Aangda who spoke up. He smiled and said: "Old friends, you think of me as too dirty. I came here not because I want to take away your honor, but because I don't want to embarrass everyone."
"oh?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Romando frowned: "Mr. Aida, what do you mean by this?"
Aang Tian smiled mysteriously: "You will know in a few days."
Simon spread his hands: "Speak directly if you have something to say, and don't be shy. What I don't like the most is people who are secretive. You Fuso people are not happy at all."
Aang Tian was unmoved, and still smiled lightly: "You won't believe me if I say it now, so it's better not to say it. I just want to remind you that my coming here this time is definitely not what you imagined. I just don't want to let It’s just an embarrassment to our country.”
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone was a little surprised.
Because they all know that Aida’s student is Miyata Jiro.
And Jiro Miyata claims to be just one step away from becoming a piano master.
Listening to Aida, even a figure like Jiro Miyata can't win the game at the Hall Night?
Could it be?
Romando and the others suddenly raised their heads, their eyes filled with vigor, and looked at the disciples behind them, scanning them one by one.
Aida said this, there is a high probability that there is a more talented person than Jiro Miyata in the piano world.
who is it?
When they thought about it, such geniuses were most likely the disciples standing at the scene.
Who else could it be?
After all, almost all the most talented young talents in the global music industry are here.
However, I looked around and found nothing.
Stephen frowned even more: "Mr. Aida, are you trying to be mysterious?"
Others were also talking.
"That's for sure."
“Don’t ruin the credibility of Fuso people.”
"You definitely came here for the 'Land of Music'."
"That's right, Fuso Kingdom has been coveting this title for a long time."
"snort!"
Listening to these words, Xiangtian stopped answering and looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
this night.
The musicians broke up unhappy.
In other words, it was Aida's words that made them uncomfortable.
In their opinion, Aangtian just deceived everyone and made everyone run over as a last resort.
Some people even doubted whether Aida took advantage of the organizer to pull off such a stunt.
The more I think about it, the more likely it is!
Made.
Their hearts swelled at the thought that they might have been taken advantage of.
Several people have secretly determined that they must teach this bad old man Aida a lesson at the upcoming music festival.
…
The sixth day of the new year.
Hundreds of millions of migrant workers across China have embarked on a wave of rework.
While freeway parking was taking place across the country, New York, thousands of miles away, also became crowded with people.
Because today, the "International Music Peak Night" will officially open.
The ceremony was held at the Metropolitan Opera House.
It is the largest opera house in the world and the most prestigious. The Linken Center in New York can accommodate more than 4,000 spectators. The internal facilities are extremely luxurious. It cost hundreds of millions when it was built. It combines ancient and modern styles and is huge in scale. Now it has become a performance hall for musicians from all over the world.
Holding a concert here has become the dream of many musicians and singers.
this day.
Early in the morning, Wang Mo followed Zhao Shu to the Metropolitan Opera House.
outside world.
With the opening of the music festival, news about it has become overwhelming.
In particular, the heat wave caused by several music masters has attracted the attention of media reporters from all over the world to New York.
Everyone turns on the TV, picks up their mobile phones and logs on to the Internet, all the news is about the "Night at the Peak of International Music".
Various hot searches flood the screen.
It seems that in just a few days, people all over the world have fallen in love with music.
All the major social platforms are talking about this music festival, which music master can shine brilliantly, which performer's name will be resounded all over the world, and which country will win the reputation of the hometown of music.
Extremely lively.
National attention.
"I bet Australia is still the home of music this year."
"Hahaha! Do you think our Fuso Kingdom doesn't exist?"
"Fuso Country is powerful, but we in North America are fighting at home, so you are useless!"
"The Land of Music is ours! Our British Empire is invincible!"
"Made, Empire? Do you want to cause public outrage?"
"..."
At any "International Music Peak Night", winning the title of "Music Hometown" is the ultimate dream of every country.
This is definitely the highest honor in the music industry for a country and region.
Just like the last ceremony, Australia won the crown.
The direct impact is: in the past four years, Australia's music industry has increased several times, creating a value of hundreds of billions. At the same time, Australia's concert halls have become the first choice for musicians and singers from around the world to perform.
As for Australian musicians, they are famous all over the world.
The influence brought by an honor is evident.
But it is not easy to get the ultimate crown of "Music Hometown".
First: There must be at least one music master in this country.
Second: This country must have at least one song win the gold medal in the grand ceremony.
Third: This country must have at least three songs break into the top ten of the "Golden Sound Chart" in the grand ceremony showdown.
Fourth: This country must have a musical heritage that conquers the world and be recognized by the public at grand ceremonies. The way to be recognized is simple, perform such a piece of music and enter the golden music chart.
The four conditions can be called hellish difficulty.
Just the first condition made Jiu's country retreat in spite of difficulties.
Music master?
There are less than ten of them in the world!
The next three conditions are also extremely difficult.
So if all these conditions are met, then the reputation of "the hometown of music" is well deserved.
Historically, there are only five countries that have achieved this pinnacle reputation.
They are: North America, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Austria.
The "International Music Peak Night" has been held for more than 100 years.
Even Fuso Country, which has many music masters, has never won the title of "Hometown of Music". Or to be bold, no country in Asia has ever won such a crown.
And this time.
Fusang Kingdom is bound to win.
Because they have a piano genius like Miyata Jiro and a piano master Aida.
Originally, Aida thought that with Jiro Miyata's strength and talent, he was completely qualified for this job, but Wang Mo killed him halfway, so Aida had no choice but to rush over and take charge of the overall situation.
But he didn't expect that because of his arrival, musicians all over the world would misunderstand him, and then they would come in droves.
Messy.
It's all chaos.
Now even Aida has no confidence that he can take away the crown of "Music City" from a group of top music masters such as Simon and Romando.
No...and that kid from China.
Xiangtian can't figure out Wang Mo's thoughts now, because he has never seen such an amazingly talented music geek in his life. The other party has composition ability comparable to that of a piano master, but has not continued to develop on the piano, and is not even as famous internationally as the other party. It's so weird.
As a young man who was able to defeat his proud disciple two years ago...no, he should have defeated himself.
So after two years, how high has the other party grown?
Aida couldn't imagine it.
He deeply knows that the fastest growing age group for a musician is between 20 and 30 years old. Geniuses in this age group reach a new level almost every day. Two years of growth is enough for the opponent's strength to soar again.
"Two years ago, when Wang Mo was only 22 years old, he composed "Memorial of Love" and "Sea of Clouds Under the Moonlight." Today, two years later, what other music has he composed?"
No progress?
Aida shook his head, how is that possible?
Well...even if you stay still, you may not be the opponent's opponent.
The more he thought about Aida, the more he felt in a trance.
Come on, meditate, meditate.
I have been practicing Zen in the past few years, and I thought I had already achieved the state of being unmoved even when landslides and earth shattered, but I didn't expect that when I thought about Wang Mo, I still got confused.
…
On the way to the Metropolitan Opera.
Zhao Shu looked at the crowds of people along the way and sighed repeatedly: "Music is indeed one of the most crazy things in the world. Few people can resist the charm of music."
Wang Mo didn't hear what he said. He was feeling excited as he watched the crowd outside having waves of carnival.
It’s all about prestige!
Next, he must turn into a harvester and harvest hard.
They took the organizer's bus.
On the buses, there are names of various countries posted on them.
For example, on the body of their bus, it says: "Chinese Music Band."
Unfortunately, when their vehicle passed through Broadway Music Street, the crowds on the roadside hardly reacted and almost ignored them.
Only a small number of Chinese and international students waved small red flags to welcome them.
Behind them was the Fuso Kingdom's bus.
moment!
There was a real uproar on the scene.
"Master Aida!"
"Mr. Miyata!"
"Ahhh!"
"..."
They were all music enthusiasts, screaming and hollering. Not bad at all compared to the idiot fans.
There were even many people playing the violin or playing orchestral music nearby, hoping that someone would discover this pearl of their own and soar into the sky.
The traffic passing by in Fuso Country was not the most lively.
The most exciting thing was that when the bus from Australia, which won the "Hometown of Music" last time, arrived, the whole street was almost boiling.
The deafening screams can almost pierce a person's eardrums.
"Hey!"
Wang Mo laughed at himself and said to himself: "There is an old saying in China: Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years..."
Um!
That’s it!
Zhao Shu was stunned: "Xiao Wang, what did you say?"
Wang Mo shook his head: "Nothing."
Zhao Shu thought that Wang Mo was envious of Australia's title of "Home of Music". He lamented: "Australia's music atmosphere is indeed second to none in the world, and we deserve the title of Home of Music. Look at me now in China Many good music talents are heading to Australia to further their studies. Musicians and singers are also going to Australia's major theaters one after another to hold solo music performances there."
As he spoke, Zhao Shu suddenly sighed: "Actually..."
He shook his head and did not continue.
Wang Mo turned his head and saw the sadness on Zhao Shu's face.
After thinking for a while, he understood: "Mr. Zhao, are you saying that our Chinese music is actually equally broad and profound? But everyone is running away?"
Zhao Shu sighed: "Yeah, but what's the use? Now the global music industry is occupied by Western instruments, and there is no room for Chinese instruments to play. I am a Chinese, guqin, guzheng, flute, pipa, erhu... How are various musical instruments inferior to Western instruments? Many instruments are even better than others in terms of exquisiteness, but the international community does not recognize us. So we can only work hard to learn Western instruments and music, and strive to cater to their culture."
Seeing Wang Mo frowning.
Zhao Shu patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Actually, it's much better now, and I have to thank you, Xiao Wang. Since you defeated the encirclement and suppression of musicians from the eleven countries alone, more and more people in China have accepted us. My own music. I asked people to do market research. In the past two years, the sales of various musical instruments in China have soared several times or even more than ten times compared with before.
In particular, guzheng, flute, erhu... are blooming everywhere, and related music training institutions have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Parents are also willing to send their children to these training institutions to cultivate their interests and hobbies.
This shows that more and more Chinese people are beginning to like our music heritage. However, it is still difficult for Chinese music to go global. "
Wang Mo finished listening to these words.
Thoughtful.
He turned his head and glanced through the window glass at the Australian bus not far away with the words "Hometown of Last Music Festival" written on it, and a clear idea gradually came to his mind.
"Okay, don't think about it."
Seeing that Wang Mo was lost in thought, Zhao Shu said with a smile: "In this music festival, we all hope that you can do well on the piano. Don't let these chores disturb your mind."
Wang Mo nodded and looked back.
At the same time, the bus has entered the quarantine area.
The arrival of the Metropolitan Opera House also represents the official kickoff of this "International Music Hall Night". (End of chapter)
