I became popular on the stage

Chapter 285 The World's Joke? (Second update, please subscribe)
On major international social platforms such as Youtube, Feast, Microsoft, Yahu, etc.

The reporters have already moved the news up and started to publicize it.

【China Piano Festival is about to become a joke】

【International piano masters collectively absent from China Piano Festival】

[Greg: Huaxia Piano Festival?It is enough to have me! 】

[The [-]th Piano Festival is doomed to fail before its opening]

【The lowest level piano festival in history】

[The Huaxia Piano Festival will become the only event in history without the participation of a piano master]

【…】

Such a dazzling headline, coupled with the deliberately distorted text comments of some reporters with ulterior motives, soon spread the news all over the Internet.

The major comment areas are full of various comments.

"Huh? Huaxia is also holding an international-level piano festival? The question is, does that ancient oriental country have the ability to hold this international event?"

"China still has the ability to hold international competitions. That country has always been an event and infrastructure madman. The problem is: they don't have masters who can hold the field, so they have nothing but appearances and no connotations."

"God! That country is really crazy."

"Where do they have the confidence to hold such an event?"

"Master Fitch and the others are right not to go."

"That's right, I wouldn't go if it was me, I can't afford to lose that person."

"Being able to send disciples there is already despising them."

"..."

On YouTube, a guy named "Kevin No.1" said: "I always thought that they dared to hold the International Piano Festival because they had pianist masters. But I just checked and found out that not only do they not have piano masters, but they have international piano masters. Not even a well-known pianist. It is said that the most famous person is a young man named 'Xiao Yu' who just returned to China. Although that young man has some talents, let alone a huge gap with the pianist, even the famous pianist Are you not even a pianist? With such strength and heritage, it’s no wonder that international pianist masters don’t bother to participate. What are you going to do? Gilding them? Lowering your status? Adding obstacles to your noble status?”

If you have to die, a certain netizen named "Zachary" roared: "It was that oriental country that ruined the "[-]th International Piano Festival", we should hold them accountable, and return us a high-end, grand, high-end piano. I was looking forward to this event, and dreamed of seeing my favorite Master Lawrence perform on stage, but now...my hopes are all shattered, they ruined my hopes ! Ruined my expectations for the piano!"

As for the many marketing accounts that were originally disliked by Huaxia.

The topics published one by one are even more vitriolic.

On Twitter, a certain marketing account said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that that ancient oriental country is not qualified to hold such a high-standard international piano festival. Their piano level is not even as good as ours five hundred years ago... Okay, or a thousand years ago. Forcing an event will only greatly lower the level of this event. For example: if you serve a Michelin-starred lunch on an open-air food stall, you can still feel Is it delicious? Can I still have my own elegance and taste buds in Michelin? No! Nothing! Now I see the piano festival in Shanghai, and I can smell a bad taste. So I understand Why don't piano masters go to Shanghai, because it's not worth their time!"

These remarks are still polite.

Many unsightly comments, if spread to the country, can make people angry.

Of course, some people stood up and expressed doubts:
"Isn't music dedicated to all mankind?"

"Since when did pianists play with colored glasses?"

"A great pianist should not discriminate against other countries."

"Because there are no piano masters in Huaxia, we should help them."

"Fitch...you guys are too narrow-minded!"

"Music should know no borders!"

"Yes, music knows no borders!"

It's just that the comments of these people were instantly criticized by countless people.

"A lot of music, especially the beautiful melodies played by pianos, violins and other instruments, can only be appreciated by elegant people, know how to telepathize, and understand their beauty. To perform for those vulgar and backward guys, it is against the piano The blasphemy of the masters."

"Yes, that's blasphemy."

"It's also disrespectful to music!"

"..."

When there are more and more discussions on this matter on the international network.

North America.

An elegant resort.

Several elderly people are leisurely lying on chairs, enjoying the rising sun.

A bearded man in his fifties smiled and said, "Old Fitch, our disciples have already arrived in China's Demon City. As we expected, this matter has aroused a lot of discussion."

Fitch took a sip of coffee and closed his eyes slightly: "It's normal. After all, this is the first time since the establishment of the International Piano Festival that no pianist participated. It's no wonder that the media and the general public are not discussing it enthusiastically."

The bearded man was Lawrence.

Beside him, Bertram, who is in his sixties, said softly: "Think about it, we don't have to take that damned plane to go to China thousands of miles away, and we don't have to tell those guys who don't even know how to play chords on stage. Performing. Instead, lying here and enjoying a leisurely and beautiful life, how comfortable. Huaxia Ruyi's calculations are really good. They know that their country's piano level and atmosphere are not good, so they want to take advantage of the opportunity of the International Piano Festival, Let our group of piano masters give performances to the people of China for free and promote them for free. Want to use us? It's a pity...they will only become a joke."

"That's right!"

Another pianist nodded: "There is no place in China worth going to. That country doesn't even have a well-known pianist or a well-known piano piece in the world. They even lost their own folk music, becoming nondescript, No three no four. Such a place, I really don’t know how to apply for the qualification to hold the "Eighth International Piano Festival". It’s a pity that those yellow-skinned people don’t know, I will never set foot on that land in my life …unless they come up with a pianist who earns enough respect from us.”

"Hahaha."

"Jack, don't be kidding me."

"Yes, it's a joke."

"Let Huaxia produce a piano master? That's more difficult than what old Fitch said about losing weight."

"..."

Several people were discussing relaxedly and happily.

……

……

Magic City.

After going through more than an hour of bumps.

Dozens of pianists, including Greg and Dennett, who almost came to China for the first time, finally arrived at the magnificent Shanghai Metropolitan Theater.

Many people looked at each other in blank dismay, with ripples in their hearts.

"This city is so magnificent!"

"It's not worse than the metropolises of our country."

"Is there such a modern city in Huaxia?"

"A little unexpected."

"But no matter how good it is, it can't change the fact that their music level is behind."

"That's right..."

Along the way, these people seemed to be shocked by the majestic momentum of the magic city, but soon their eyes were filled with arrogance and confidence, and they stepped into the grand theater in front of them.

At this moment, it is only one hour before [-]:[-] pm, and the "Eighth International Piano Festival" is about to open.
