This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

Chapter 278: 276. Did not participate in the competit

  Watching Wang Cheng leave, no one said anything to stop Wang Cheng, everyone watched Wang Cheng disappear on the stage.

Then…

   Lu Jiaqi, Zhang Haijie and other judges, as well as Tian Wen, Xu Chaohua and other audience members, were slightly relieved and sat down together.

  They have all stood for a few minutes, and they are a little tired. After all, they usually don't stand very much, either sitting or lying down.

  But just now Wang Cheng was standing, so of course they had to stand together. They didn't sit down until Wang Cheng disappeared on the stage.

  Then, Lu Jiaqi, Zhang Haijie and the judges looked at each other and smiled wryly. After that, they were all a bit dull, and felt like they had been doing nothing for a lifetime.

   They became famous musicians in half a year, and they have worked hard to study and practice for a lifetime, but in their eyes they have not yet started...

   People are better than others, want to die.

  However, after all, they are all veterans with rich experience, and they were beaten by top talents of their generation when they were young, so they can quickly adjust and adapt.

  Many young students from the conservatory of music in the audience couldn't recover from the blow for a while, and after watching Wang Cheng leave, they all complained in a depressed mood.

   "I feel like I want to change careers, and learning music is not interesting anymore."

   "Yes, after studying for more than ten years, it may not be as good as others studying for a few days."

   "If you can have half the strength of Mr. Wang Cheng in this life, it is enough to die without regret."

   "Don't dream, if you can have one-tenth of Mr. Wang Cheng's strength, you will be satisfied."

   "Hey, I'd better take music as a hobby, forget about music dreams."

   "It's really good to sing "The Fishing Boat"

   "By the way, it would be great to invite Wang Cheng to our college to give lectures sometime."

   "Lectures...? Don't dream, Wang Cheng doesn't even bother to go on the show. Didn't the lectures kill him?"

   "I used to think that Wang Cheng was playing big cards, but now I think he should be like this. If he is such an awesome character who jumps up and down every day, it will lower my image in my heart."

   "Yes, I also feel now that an artist like him should be so cruel. He should ignore everyone..."

  …

  Listen to the discussions around you.

  Xu Chaohua smiled wryly and said to Yan Yu: "The first time I saw Wang Cheng writing calligraphy, I knew he would be great. But I didn't expect that he would be so great in music and art!"

  Yan Yu was also a little speechless, feeling a little depressed, her watery eyes blinked and blinked in the direction of the backstage.

  An Keru directly picked up the phone, and sent a message to the agent, saying, "Find me a famous and capable guzheng teacher immediately."

  The other party replied immediately: "Okay!"

   Didn't ask much, just execute it immediately.

   This is An Keru's recent request. She doesn't want to listen to her agent's advice, she just wants to do what she wants to do.

   Zhu Ziqi and Han Xiao next to each other also made up their minds once again. After returning home, they must also learn a musical instrument, and they must learn to a professional level. Guzheng is their first choice, and they also need to learn piano and violin...

   Wang Chengyi returned to the backstage.

   Li Guang, Hu Xiaoshan, Zhao Donghu and several program team leaders quickly came forward to ask for their health.

   "Wang Cheng, are you tired? Do you want to drink water?"

   "Wang Cheng, please sit down and have a rest."

   "Wang Cheng, it is the luckiest thing in our life to be able to cooperate with you..."

   A few flattery to send.

  Unfortunately, Wang Cheng's thermos is in Wen Yixiao's hands.

  Wen Yixiao didn't speak, but quietly handed Wang Cheng's water glass to Wang Cheng.

  Wang Cheng also took a sip of the drink, said a soft thank you, then nodded to Li Guang and the others, ignored them, walked to his seat and sat down.

  Wen Yixiao also walked over and sat beside Wang Cheng, as quiet as a lotus flower.

   Li Guang and Hu Xiaoshan didn't feel any embarrassment at all. After smiling at Wang Cheng, they didn't bother Wang Cheng anymore.

Yan Qing, Sun Haibo, Zheng Yun and other contestants also wanted to go up and talk to Wang Cheng, but Hu Xiaoshan and Li Guang frantically waved their hands and winked at them, signaling them not to disturb Wang Cheng. Cheng, don't make Wang Cheng unhappy!

  This left Yan Qing, Sun Haibo, Zheng Yun, Eva and other players speechless and helpless.

   After finally meeting music master-level music artists who only exist in textbooks, they can't go up and ask for advice, which makes them uncomfortable.

Especially Yan Qing, she didn't dare to ask Wang Cheng about guzheng performance. She just wanted to ask if she could get the score of the Guzheng song sung by fishing boats later, but seeing that Wang Cheng didn't pay attention to them at all. The leaders of the group didn't let them get close to Wang Cheng, so Yan Qing could only helplessly suppress his thoughts in his heart, and only wanted to go back and study Wang Cheng's performance carefully, picking up the score from the video.

But Zhou Zhe, Han Feng, and Li Xiang were suffering the most. They also wanted to go up and chat with Wang Cheng to get rid of the negative impression left before, and at the same time try to recruit Wang Cheng, but they saw that Wang Cheng didn't want to pay attention to them. At this time, they could only stand quietly on the side, looking at Wang Cheng eagerly, not daring to force their way to talk to Wang Cheng.

   It's not that they are worried about Li Guang, Hu Xiaoshan and others in the program group, but that they are afraid that Wang Cheng, who will be provoked again, will be unhappy.

  Zhou Zhe thought for a while, stepped forward to Hu Xiaoshan and Li Guang and said, "Director Li, Producer Hu, can we discuss something?"

  Hu Xiaoshan didn't speak. Although he is the producer of the program group, Li Guang in the program group is obviously the one talking about it at this time, so Li Guang said unceremoniously: "Director Zhou, if you have something to say..."

Zhou Zhe said directly: "Director Li, let me be straightforward. I hope that the video of this program can be sent to Yangyin. We want to go back and study all the performances today, which will help us. Better yet, send us the unedited version!"

  Han Feng and Li Xiang heard it, and they both said at the same time: "We also want a copy..."

Li Guang glanced at Hu Xiaoshan, saw that Hu Xiaoshan had no objection, and then said: "You can also if you want, but wait until the program is finished. Moreover, this is related to the details of Wang Cheng's cooperation. If you want to go out, you need his own consent."

   "If it's simpler, you don't need to ask us. When the show is broadcast, you can download it online!"

  If it is normal, if the top domestic music school like Yangyin wants a program video, they will definitely agree without saying a word, it is no big deal.

  However, it is about Wang Cheng at this time.

  They also saw the value of Wang Cheng again, so they couldn't easily agree.

If the video streamed out of their hands is used by Yangyin for profit, Wang Cheng himself may not bother to pay attention to it, but if Rubik's Cube Entertainment comes to sue, it will definitely be accurate. With Wang Cheng's popularity and status at this time, It may cost a lot of money, and most importantly, it may affect the next cooperation.

so…

  Li Guang agreed cautiously, and he would only give it away when Wang Cheng or Mofang Entertainment agreed, otherwise he would not give it.

   Zhou Zhe, Han Feng, and Li Xiang all smiled wryly.

  They used to be the equivalent of the overlords in the program group, and the entire program group must consider their opinions, because behind them they represent the three major music academies in China.

   And now...

  Li Guang rejected their three major music schools because of Wang Cheng's feelings alone.

the most important is.

  The three of them did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.

  Because Wang Cheng is right next to them, and they don't want Wang Cheng to be unhappy because of them.

  So, the three of them could only nod their heads in agreement, and let Li Guang and Hu Xiaoshan operate.

The host Wang Wenjing gave an excited speech on the stage: "I never thought that music art can be so wonderful. Thanks to Mr. Wang Cheng for letting us experience this kind of beauty. I won't say more praises. Because any words of praise are not enough to describe my admiration for Mr. Wang Cheng at this time, nor are they enough to describe Mr. Wang Cheng's attainments in the field of music..."

   After finishing speaking, Wang Wenjing began to call the last group of players: "Next, let's invite the last group of players! Yunna and Bruce, I hope they can adjust their state and fully display their strength."

   There was applause at the scene, but the applause was not enthusiastic.

obviously…

At this time, everyone is even less interested in the so-called contestants' competition. A trace of impatience flashed across the faces of the applauding audience, including several judges. At the end of the show, they can watch another performance by Wang Cheng.

   Moreover, this is Wang Cheng's last performance today.

  While each of them was looking forward to it, they were also more nervous and apprehensive.

  They were afraid that they would never hear Wang Cheng's performance again.

  Thinking of this result, many viewers who love music and art feel a little heartbroken, as if they are about to lose something important.

  Tian Wen applauded lightly, and said in a low voice: "Hey, after listening to Wang Cheng's performance, I can't listen to anyone else's performance. I don't even bother to play the guzheng..."

One of the few guzheng masters in the country, he has lost interest in the career he has worked hard for all his life. His mind is full of the scene of Wang Cheng's performance just now and the artistic conception of the music. It is impossible for him to play like that in his whole life. realm.

  The final group of contestants, both Yun Na and Bruce, do not want to perform on stage.

   At this time, not only did they feel that this competition was meaningless, but they even doubted whether learning music was the right choice for them!

  After listening to Wang Cheng's music art performance, both of them kept asking themselves in their hearts at the same time-can they catch up with others' self-study for half a year in this life?

  The answer, of course, is no.

  If you work hard, you will succeed.

  There are too many successful people in this world.

but…

  The work ethic made it impossible for them to turn down the show.

  All, Yun Na walked out of the backstage with her violin and started her performance.

Yun Na was wearing a black evening gown, her chestnut hair was slightly curving and draped behind her, and her slightly immature fair face was full of calm. Standing on the stage full of goddess temperament, she bowed slightly to the judges and all the audience, and then Yun Na took the violin and started playing.

   On the artistic temperament and performance effect.

  In fact, the violin is better than the piano.

  Because playing the violin is standing, it can show your figure and temperament better, but when playing the piano, sitting there is mostly blocked by the piano, so you can only face the audience sideways...

   Lu Jiaqi, Zhang Haijie and other judges all looked at Yunna calmly, their eyes were still a little wandering, apparently they were not concentrating, and they didn't even think about Yunna's competition repertoire.

  The same is true for many audiences in the audience.

  Yun Na’s competition repertoire is still a classic violin piece, which is quite difficult, but the overall artistic expression and structure are obviously inferior to the No. 1 violin etude played by Wang Cheng just now.

  Of course, it’s just that the repertoire is weaker.

  If you compare the performance level, then Yun Na is not qualified to compare with Wang Cheng at all.

  Yun Na could clearly see the bland reaction at the scene, but she still insisted on playing the piece in her best condition.

   When it's over...

  The scene is still quiet.

Yun Na took a look and saw that everyone was not immersed in the music she played, but most of them were distracted and didn't listen to her performance just now. Even the judges seemed to be distracted and didn't pay attention for a while. her show.

  In an instant...

  Yun Na was a little aggrieved, tears flashed in her eyes, but she forcibly held back.

   It was not until Wang Wenjing came out applauding that Yun Na, who was a little embarrassed, was rescued.

   Then, the audience applauded.

Lu Jiaqi, Zhang Haijie and other judges were a little embarrassed, because they were really distracted just now, and they were constantly reminiscing about Wang Cheng's performances just now. The more they thought about it, the more shocked and admired they were, so slowly Slowly, I didn't listen to Yun Na's performance at all.

   Several contestants in the backstage looked at Yun Na sympathetically, they all had personal experience just now!

  The last contestant, Bruce, who was about to appear on the stage, was a little trembling, his face was extremely calm, and he kept thinking in his heart, could he give up the performance of this game?

   After the applause.

   Several judges began to score.

  However, they didn't listen carefully to Yunna's performance just now, so if they were asked to comment and score in detail, they couldn't say anything at once, and they weren't even sure if there was anything wrong with Yunna's performance just now...

  Thus, several judges could only cope with the matter, and scored in a hurry.

   Lu Jiaqi smiled and said, "Very good violin performance, I'll give you ninety points!"

  Give a score of 90, it should not be wrong.

  Zhang Haijie is similar: "It's very good that you have shown your strength, and I will give you 90 points!"

  The other three judges also said something ambiguous, and they all gave 89 or 90 points.

  With Yunna's violin talent, she deserves 90 points.

  Then, Yun Na didn't stay long, and after thanking her gently, she quickly turned around and left, not wanting to stay on the stage for another second.

  Walking off the stage, Yun Na couldn't hold back after all, a line of tears flowed down her cheeks, and then quickly wiped them off, walked quickly back to her seat and sat down.

Eva hurried over to comfort her and said, "Yunna, it's nothing, don't be sad. It's not that you are too weak, but the one who played before you was too strong. Let's calm down, let's look forward to his last performance together." a show."

Yun Na forced a smile, glanced at Wang Cheng who was still reading a book not far away, and the grievance in her heart gradually dissipated. That player really didn't care about them, but they and all the audience outside had been overwhelmed by that bit conquered.

  She could understand, but she was still uncomfortable. She traveled thousands of miles to China to participate in the competition, just to get recognition and exercise...

   Now, her show is completely ignored, which is the biggest blow to a person who pursues art.

but…

  She saw Bruce walking out of the backstage, facing the same audience as her, with a slightly more balanced mentality.

  Bruce is a piano genius from the Vienna Conservatory of Music in Europe, and Yun Na is a violin genius from the Juilliard School in North America, so the two sides are almost naturally opposed, and they both want to eliminate each other.

  Bruce has just witnessed Yunna’s experience at the scene, so he has no hope for the reaction on the scene. He only hopes that he can eliminate Yunna with a better performance, which is enough...

   When he came to the piano, Bruce bowed slightly to the judges and the audience, sat down and started to play. The repertoire was still a famous piano piece, with a fast rhythm, low difficulty, and a popular style!

This is a change in the field of European and American classical music in recent decades, because the public prefers pop music, and they can only cater to the public in order to survive. Many music masters have performed many pop-style music works in concerts. It was a work that many music masters and great masters did not want to play a hundred years ago, but it is played more often now...

  Classical art, and fashion, seem to be opposites naturally.

  Bruce is indeed a top piano genius. He had already given a small solo recital in New York when he was around 20 years old, and he is also a famous piano genius in North America!

  When he performed on this stage before, he was always the focus of the audience, and he was also one of the champion candidates...

But.

   Today, his piano playing did not cause any reaction.

  Everyone in the audience still didn't react, they just listened calmly, and even many people were still distracted.

   Fortunately, the judges did not lose their minds this time, learned the lesson just now, and listened to Bruce's performance attentively.

   And this listen...

  The judges frowned slightly.

  They all involuntarily compared Bruce's performance with Wang Cheng's performance that was constantly emerging in their hearts, which naturally made Bruce's performance very ordinary.

And Bruce took a sneak look at the judges, seeing that the judges were frowning, he was a little nervous. Fortunately, there was no mistake, but under the nervousness, the state declined. Technically, there was no mistake, but in terms of artistic conception But it has dropped a level, and the performance effect has also declined.

  The end of the song...

  Among the applause of the audience, Bruce stood up and bowed to everyone.

Then, Professor Mark first said unceremoniously: "Bruce, your performance really disappoints me. You have completely failed to grasp the core of the art of music. You are just a technical worker. This is your worst performance. I can only Eighty points for you, because I have higher expectations for you!"

  Bruce instantly paled...

  The teachers and students of many music colleges on the scene held their breaths, knowing that the biggest change in this competition was about to appear. If Bruce was eliminated by Yun Na, then everyone else would have a chance to win.

  Because, in the comparison of the remaining players, Bruce is slightly stronger in all aspects, and he is the most likely to win the championship.

  The other players are about the same...

  If Bruce is eliminated, the chances of everyone else winning the championship are almost the same.

  Sun Haibo, Yun Na, Eva, Zheng Yun and others looked at the stage with excitement and anticipation, waiting for the final result...

  Professor Haixi also said in a serious tone: "There is nothing wrong with your performance, but, Bruce, you did not show your artistic atmosphere! This should not be, and I can only give you 85 points."

  Bruce's face turned even paler. He knew that as soon as these two scores came out, he was hopeless. It was impossible for the remaining three people to give him too high a score. He would definitely lose to Yunna...

   Sure enough.

Lu Jiaqi in the back only gave 88 points, Zhang Haijie gave 86 points, and the last one gave 83 points, which was lower than the previous players and only slightly better than Andre who made a mistake .

  Bruce's body shook slightly, and some couldn't accept the result.

Tian Wen in the audience shook her head slightly, and said regretfully: "With Bruce's strength and talent, he shouldn't have this score. It can only be said that several judges were raised by Wang Cheng's performance, and Bruce happened to meet him. Yunna was lucky just now, the judges didn't listen to her performance carefully, so it's hard to comment in detail, and they gave a similar score, but it was a very high score."

   "Now, Bruce is going home."

  Chen Yuqi didn't care about this, and said softly: "Anyway, the performances of these two contestants are far worse than Wang Cheng."

   Tian Wen smiled wryly: "Everyone present is a few grades behind Wang Cheng, including me and the judges on the stage. You can't compare with Wang Cheng."

  Yu Hong said: "However, the judges were still influenced by Wang Cheng, and unconsciously compared the contestants with Wang Cheng."

  Tian Wen nodded: "Yes, so Bruce was really wronged!"

  Wang Cheng did not participate, but again affected the result and decided the fate of the contestants.

  Many teachers and students of the surrounding music colleges also felt that Bruce was a bit wronged when he lost...

  The advanced contestants in the backstage were all smiling, and Yun Na was instantly happy, and looked at Wang Cheng who was still sitting there reading a book again, with a hint of gratitude.

but…

  In the next second, everyone didn't care about the result of the competition, including Yun Na and other players involved.

because.

  The blues show is over.

  So, isn't Wang Cheng's last performance about to start?
