Chapter 925 Not for Winning

First-rate witches, second-rate prostitutes, third-rate gods, fourth-rate bangs, fifth-rate barbers, sixth-rate flute players, seventh-rate actors, eighth-rate thieves, ninth-rate candy sellers…

In ancient times, musicians were classified together with thieves, hooligans, prostitutes, and shamans, collectively known as the lower nine classes, so that there was very little soil for classical music in China.

After more than a thousand years of loss, ordinary people have no basis for listening to classical music. In the face of economic interests, most modern domestic symphony orchestras are struggling to survive, and there is no environment for classical music at all.

Of course, domestic classical music was once glorious. During the Spring and Autumn Period, a large number of music theories emerged, including instrument standards, band composition, twelve-tone equal temperament theory, etc. During this period, there were officials in the court who were specifically responsible for music.

But later, classical music gradually declined and even nearly died out...

These were the exact words that Teacher Liu Mu told them. She would definitely help Pu Tong, but she herself did not have any confidence in this.

The music sector with the biggest gap between domestic and international music is undoubtedly classical music. Now Pu Tong actually wants to compete with top classical musicians in this area, which is tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg.

Precisely because she is a professional, she understands better this difficult-to-bridge gap. Even if there are ten more teams like hers, they cannot make up for the gap in their perspectives on music history.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanwan and the other two girls fell silent. They knew that the gap was huge, but they did not expect that the dilemma Pu Tong faced would be so difficult.

No matter how talented he is, can he make up for the thousand-year gap in Chinese classical music by himself?
"The traditional classical music in China is completely immature. If you really want to find a ray of hope, I suggest you emulate European classical music. Their music is more mature and more meaningful for reference."

They could sense that when Liu Mu said this, she was somewhat distressed. She had devoted her entire life to Chinese classical music, but she still had to admit this fact and even suggested that Pu Tong go somewhere else...

This was the only solution. She was willing to give everything for classical music, but she couldn't let Pu Tong choose a path with no future.

"With your talent for music, you still have a chance to study European classical music now. If you plan to rely on your background, then you're done..."

Liu Mu's words lingered in the minds of several people, making them speechless.

Yu Wanwan secretly glanced at Pu Tong. He looked as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant to do so. It seemed as if he wanted to say something but ultimately couldn't.

Based on her understanding of Pu Tong, this guy must have his own ideas and would most likely not take Aunt Liu's words to heart.

She was afraid that Pu Tong would have some tricks to "put himself in danger" again, so she had to walk on the edge of a knife...

However, there were too many people present, and Yu Wanwan was ultimately unable to ask. Pu Tong was always like this, with his own plans, and in the end he had to face everything alone.

After returning home, Yu Wanwan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. It was a fact known to everyone that traditional music in the country was in a very bad state.

Just as Aunt Liu said, if Pu Tong chose this immature path, it would be tantamount to self-destruction... She didn't want Pu Tong to fall into that situation, because she had vaguely guessed that Pu Tong would definitely make this choice.

"Pu Tong, Pu Tong, I know you have your own ideas and plans to turn defeat into victory, but why are you unwilling to tell me? Even if it is to make me feel more at ease!"

She doesn't like this because she gets worried.

Everyone else was looking forward to seeing how Pu Tong would perform and whether he could win. They were just spectators, but she didn't care about that. She was just worried.

She had great faith in the boy she had chosen, but she was naturally worried, not because she was petty, but simply because of love.

Just as she was hugging her pillow and daydreaming, a familiar call alert lit up in the dark. It was from Pu Tong.

"What's wrong?" Yu Wanwan rubbed her dry eyes, wondering why Pu Tong called her in the middle of the night.

"I should be the one asking you, what's wrong with you?"

Pu Tong paused and said, "I felt that you were not in a good state during the day. What's wrong? Are you worried about me?"

Yu Wanwan really wanted to say “You know that, why are you asking?”, but when she thought about it carefully, the fact that Pu Tong noticed this showed that he still cared about her very much.

"I'm worried." She sighed and put aside her pride. It would be better to talk business now. "International classical music is indeed much more mature than domestic classical music. If you want to win, giving up domestic traditional music and studying European classical music is the best choice."

"yes……"

Pu Tong does not deny this point. Whether in this world or in the past, the domestic classical music field cannot compare with the international level. This is a peak that has been difficult to surpass so far.

"But my goal is not actually to win this challenge."

Pu Tong suddenly laughed. If other people heard what he said, they would probably be frightened by his "treasonous" words. But facing Yu Wanwan, he naturally would not hesitate at all.

"what?"

Yu Wanwan was a little confused when she heard this. This was a top international music challenge, and he actually said that he didn't want to win?
"It should be said that winning is not my main goal. I just don't have such a strong desire to win. Putting aside winning or losing, I have more important goals."

Pu Tong took a deep breath, as if he wanted to keep the topic in suspense.

"The gap between the Chinese music scene and the international music scene cannot be reversed by me alone, nor is it the work of one person alone. Even if I can win this duel, the gap will still exist."

"Compared to simply winning or losing, what I want to do more is to let the world see us."

Yu Wanwan widened her eyes and listened quietly to Pu Tong's shocking remarks. At this moment, she just wanted to be a quiet listener.

"The Chinese music scene has actually always lacked an opportunity to go global. I don't want to be the savior, I just want to be a medium, a successor..."

"Just imagine, even if I am old and can no longer sing, there will still be young people standing up in the Chinese music scene, following the path I have pioneered and going out into the world. What kind of scene would that be?"

“Isn’t that day more important than what I’ve accomplished personally?”

Yu Wan listened quietly, and her thoughts seemed to go back to a day long ago.

At that time, they were not together yet, and Pu Tong was still trying hard to hide his incompetence. That night, she called Pu Tong and told him that if he had the ability, he should be bold and do it to change the world.

And now, Pu Tong is walking on this road seriously.

He never wanted to be a god in the field of music. He just wanted to use his abilities to change something. It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.

But this time, he took the initiative to call herself.
