Chapter 716: Fairy Music? Chinese Music Goes Abroad

"I agree with Teacher Wang Xuan's opinion. We do need to restore the reputation of our Chinese music. The problem is that we haven't received any invitations to international concerts, so we can't ruin the show even if we want to?" Teacher Fang Jinlong said first.

"Yes. I am happy to mess things up, but I'm not invited. I can't mess things up in a foreign country, right?" Wang Zhong said.

"Which song do we want to choose? Just as Teacher Wang Xuan said, if we want to perform abroad, we can't choose songs that Chinese people can understand but people abroad can't." Du Chong said.

"I say, are you stupid? We didn't invite him, but hasn't we invited Teacher Wang Xuan? Teacher Wang Xuan is one of the top ten pianists in the world. Two years ago, those international piano masters came to our country to hold concerts." Chen Jun said.

As soon as this was said, everyone felt that it made sense. They didn't invite him because they were not well-known internationally. But Wang Xuan was already well-known in the international music world.

Wang Xuan smiled and said, "I can indeed get an invitation. You don't need to worry about the music. All you have to do is to go abroad with me to perform. I will arrange the rest."

"Of course I'm willing to do that. This is also a way to bring glory to our country, right?" Fang Jinlong said.

"It's a public-funded trip and it can also reduce the arrogance of foreigners. Why wouldn't I want to do that?" Wang Zhong said.

"Let's do it!" Du Chong also expressed his opinion.

"So Teacher Wang Xuan, when are you planning to go and mess things up?" a student asked.

"Can we watch it in person?" someone also asked.

"Once I confirm which concert I will attend, I will announce it on my personal Weibo. If you are able to get tickets for the concert, you can go and watch it in person," said Wang Xuan.

Tickets for those large-scale concerts abroad are not something that ordinary people can get. In other words, students who can get tickets for such large-scale concerts are either rich or noble, so Wang Xuan does not have to worry about their financial conditions at all.

After the open class, Wang Xuan held a brief meeting with a group of Chinese music masters, formed a small group, and then asked everyone to go back home and wait for his arrangements.

Wang Xuan opened his personal mailbox and started looking through it.

It is worth mentioning that since email is not used very often in China, Wang Xuan’s email is almost entirely filled with messages from foreign musicians, most of which are invitations to concerts.

Many invitations to concerts have expired, but there are still many invitations that have not yet passed, such as the Berlin Concert to be held at the end of November, the Vienna New Year's Concert at the end of December, and the Light City Concert to be held at the end of October.

These three are the top international concerts. If you are not a famous pianist, you will not be invited. If you are not a famous pianist, you will not be invited. For example, the Berlin concert invited Wang Xuan to the concert held by Randall, one of the top ten pianists in the world.

For the Vienna New Year Concert, Eglina and Schoger both solemnly invited Wang Xuan. And the person who invited the Lantern City Concert was Wang Xuan's cheap apprentice, Bolig.

In fact, Wang Xuan has invited many concerts, such as the Carnegie Global Concert in the Big Apple, the Boston International Concert, the Warsaw Philharmonic International Concert, the Leipzig International Concert, the Amsterdam International Concert, etc. All of them have invited Wang Xuan.

But Wang Xuan chose to ignore them all. His energy was limited, and he couldn't possibly attend all these concerts. Besides, he was going to mess up the venue this time, and since he was going to mess up the venue, he naturally had to mess up the biggest venue.

Wang Xuan responded to Randall, Eglina, and Poliger one by one. The content of the response was roughly: he could attend the invitation of these international concerts and participate in the performances, but the performances were not limited to piano or solo. He would bring Chinese music masters to participate, provided that the organizers agreed.

The next step is to wait for a reply.

Wang Xuan believed that his request would probably be met. After all, the concert was not limited to classical piano.

Sure enough, Randall and Eglina responded quickly, welcoming Wang Xuan and the Chinese musicians on behalf of the organizers. And Polig was overjoyed after receiving Wang Xuan's reply.

Since the last concert in China, when he became Wang Xuan's apprentice, Bolig has received a lot of ridicule. Many piano geniuses with similar fame have ridiculed him for actually becoming a Chinese apprentice. And these ridicules have become more and more intense as time goes by.

Even Wang Xuan's title as one of the top ten international pianists has gradually become a false reputation in the eyes of some young piano geniuses abroad. After all, apart from "Wedding in a Dream", "Canon" and "Croatian Rhapsody", Wang Xuan has no other works.

With just three pieces, is he worthy of the title of one of the top ten international pianists? You say Wang Xuan is so great, but why haven't we seen him participate in concerts abroad?

  Do not have time?

Just kidding!

Appearing at major international music festivals would bring both fame and fortune, so which musician could refuse?

Unless you don’t dare!

In the eyes of many young pianists, Wang Xuan refused to participate in international concerts because he was afraid of making a fool of himself. Just before Polig received Wang Xuan's reply, his good friend Delis was still in front of him, mocking Wang Xuan.

"Look, Polyg, I told you not to invite your cheap master Wang Xuan, and he definitely wouldn't dare to respond. In my opinion, it was too hasty for you to worship him as your master in public. What qualifications does he have to be your master?"

Poliger has heard similar words too many times, and he doesn't want to respond, nor is he too lazy to respond. Because without close contact with his master Wang Xuan, it is impossible to understand how high his master's piano level is.

He didn't even think about it. His master's title as one of the top ten pianists in the world was not self-proclaimed, but was recognized by other top ten pianists in the world. Are the other top ten pianists in the world all fools? How could they allow such an incompetent person to be on par with them?

However, Polig felt it was a pity that his master did not attend the international concert. It was such a pity that he was still bothered by it, so he invited his master again and again.

But every time, there was no response. Over time, Bolig became a little accustomed and numb. This time, he sent an invitation to Wang Xuan, just as a routine. Unexpectedly, he received a response.

When he saw the master accept the invitation, Bolig thought he was dazzled and watched it several times before he dared to believe it. Meanwhile, Delis beside him was still chattering, saying bad things about Master Wang Xuan.

In the past, Polyger might have had a falling out with Delis, but this time, he went against his usual behavior and just hugged Delis and kissed her.

"What are you doing?" Delis asked blushing.

"Delis, my master has accepted the invitation. He has decided to participate in the Lantern City Concert and will bring a team of Chinese musicians with him," said Polig.

"Huh?" Delis was stunned for a moment. "What did you say? You said your master accepted the invitation?"

"Yes. You have always said that my master is not good enough. This time I will let you see how powerful my master is. Just wait, it will definitely exceed your imagination."

After saying that, Bolig ignored Delis and immediately went to communicate with the organizer. After getting the consent, he immediately responded to Wang Xuan.

On behalf of the organizer, he welcomed the Huaguo Band and asked about Wang Xuan's arrival time in the City of Lights, intending to pick him up in person.

At this point, the three major concerts all gave Wang Xuan a clear response.

Wang Xuan informed Wang Zhong, Fang Jinlong and others of the news, and the latter all gave Wang Xuan a thumbs up.

"Teacher Wang Xuan is really amazing. He can attend any top international concert he wants."

Wang Xuan smiled and changed the subject: "I have finished the music in the past few days. Let's participate in the Lantern City Concert first. The time is not far away. Next, we need everyone to work hard to rehearse and practice."

"no problem."

"What's the big deal? I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."

"Yes, I've wanted to go abroad to perform for a long time, but I never had the chance before." Everyone quickly got the music scores to be performed at the Lantern City Concert.

The first piece of music made everyone's eyes widen.

We are all connoisseurs, and we can tell at first glance that this music score is extraordinary.

"That's right. Teacher Wang Xuan, the first piece of music requires the use of chimes, and it seems that none of us knows how to play chimes." Someone wondered.

"Who said there isn't? As far as I know, Master Fang Jinlong can play the chime bells." Wang Zhong said.

"I do know how to play the chimes, but I am only proficient at it and have dabbled in it. I'm still a long way from being at the top level," said Fang Jinlong.

"Leave the chimes to me." said Wang Xuan.

"Okay, I almost forgot, we also have Teacher Wang Xuan who is proficient in all musical instruments."

Wang Xuan smiled and said, "Then everyone should familiarize themselves with the music score for two days. After two days, let's try to play together?"

Naturally, everyone had no objection to this.

Two days later, when everyone performed their first ensemble on the stage of the National Center for Chinese Opera, the people on the scene were shocked.

"Wow!!! This this this!!!"

"Oh my god! What level of music is this?"

"Fairy music! This is definitely worthy of being called fairy music!"

“My god, that ethereal feeling really gives people the feeling that the lyrics and music are only from heaven.”

"The celestial music gives people a sense of luxury. Isn't this music too high-end?"

Not only were the onlookers surprised, but even the masters who participated in the performance widened their eyes after hearing the recorded product.

When they got the score, they knew this piece of music was great, but they never expected that the ensemble would produce such an effect. It was like a fairyland, with a rosy glow and a magnificent palace in front of them.

"Teacher Wang Xuan, you are amazing!"

"Yes! Teacher Wang Xuan, your composing ability is really amazing."

"When I played my part these two days, I still felt that this piece of music was not exciting enough, and that it might not have a good effect at a concert abroad. Facts have proved that I was superficial."

"This song is full of Chinese flavor, leisurely and ethereal, beautiful and magnificent, and it will definitely make those people from abroad kneel down to listen to it."

"It's amazing, even better than "Fisherman's Song at Dusk". Why do I feel that if this soundtrack was used in the previous "Journey to the West", the results would be even better?"

Wang Xuan smiled.

We just want to make those people abroad kneel down and listen.

Not only does he want to disrupt the scene, he also wants to prove to the Chinese people that even folk music full of Chinese style and culture can be disrupted abroad.

In the following time, everyone was grinding this song. After grinding was over, Wang Xuan gave everyone the second song. The second song had an exciting and high-pitched melody that made everyone's blood boil.

After practicing the second song, it was almost time, so everyone packed up and headed for the City of Lights.

王轩也在个人微博上发了一条微博：“时间10月28号、11月25日、明年1月1日，锁定灯城音乐会，柏林音乐会、维也纳新年音乐会，国乐与你不见不散。”

As soon as this Weibo post came out, the internet went crazy.

"66666!"

"Brilliant!"

"Three major concerts! Our Chinese music is finally going abroad."

"Just wait for the national music to ruin the place."

Fans who were able immediately used their connections to get tickets for the three major concerts.

Before Wang Xuan posted on Weibo, the team of China Television Music Channel had already received the news and obtained tickets for three major concerts, planning to broadcast them live.

They couldn't help but take it seriously. This was the first step to go abroad. Wang Xuan made it clear that this time he was going to bring Guole out to cause trouble.

Wang Xuan was also very clear about this. The Tianhai team took care of the group's three-month itinerary, booking the best hotels, booking the final rehearsal venue, and even because they were afraid of not being able to adapt to the local climate abroad, Tianhai hired three five-star chefs to go abroad with them.

At the Lantern City Airport, Wang Xuan met Polig who came to pick him up.

Of course, it wasn't just Bolig who came to pick him up at the airport. The organizer of the Lantern City Concert also sent someone to pick him up. In fact, the Lantern City Concert and Wang Xuan also had some connections.

Wang Xuan's famous song "Wedding in the Dream" was first performed at the Lantern City Concert. However, no one knew Wang Xuan at the beginning, and no one knew that the song he was going to perform on stage was such a divine song.

So if Wang Xuan wants to participate in the Lantern City Concert, the organizers will definitely welcome him with open arms.

Bolig first exchanged a few words with Wang Xuan, and then introduced the organizer to Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan shook hands with several leaders of the organizer and introduced Fang Jinlong and his group to the organizer and Bolig.

The atmosphere between the two sides was quite harmonious.

After the greetings, everyone came to the hotel where Wang Xuan and others were staying. The organizer talked to Wang Xuan about business: "Teacher Wang Xuan, are you really not going to play the piano this time? In fact, many people want to hear you play "Wedding in My Dream" live."

Why did the organizer ask this? Because Wang Xuan only signed up for two pieces for the Lantern City Concert this time, one guzheng piece and one Chinese music ensemble piece.

He came out this time mainly to mess up the place with Chinese traditional musical instruments, but since the organizer said so, after thinking about it, Wang Xuan said, "Forget about playing "Wedding in a Dream". I have played this song several times, so there is nothing good to play. However, if time permits, I can play another piano piece on the spot."

"Canon or Croatian Rhapsody?"

"No, it's a new piece that I haven't played before."
