Just like what Liu Minbo, the dean of the Western Music Department, had said.
A musical instrument like the suona was just a common " local " musical instrument in China's rural areas. It was the same as the erhu that he had looked down on back then. It was simply not presentable.
At most, his voice was a little louder and his tone was a little more penetrating.
However, on the stage, especially on the stage where tens of thousands of people were watching under the spotlight, the performance was not dependent on these.
This was completely different from tonight and last night's performance on campus.
Instead, it depended on the performer's level, temperament, understanding and interpretation of the instrument and the song, as well as the performer's proficiency in the instrument.
On the world stage, or even on many Chinese stages, in William Wang's opinion, many Chinese instruments were difficult to be refined.
To put it nicely, they were too folk and tacky!
To put it bluntly, they were all country bumpkins, and the low-class laborers liked to listen to the country bumpkins.
William wasn't the only one who thought this way.
Many Chinese people thought the same way. This was also why many parents let their children learn the piano, violin, and guitar.
However, very few parents would let their children learn Chinese folk instruments such as the suona and the erhu.
At the same time, this was also the current situation of the world's performance circle, and even the Chinese performance circle.
If that wasn't the case, then there wouldn't be only two Chinese instruments in the top ten most popular instruments in China.
Since that kid still planned to hide, then at the welcoming party in three days.
He would directly drag this kid out!
Of course, when the time came, King William would have a better excuse," consult!"
Didn't the erhu of the folk music department want to communicate with the violin of western music?
Weren't there a lot of students from the folk music department who were secretly scolding him for humiliating their Erhu trash? Wasn't it extremely rude?
In that case!
This time, he would give the folk music department a chance to use his violin on a proper stage to ask the kid who played the suona for advice!
Of course, this was a " humble "," gentlemanly ", and " forgiving " request.
As long as this kid had the guts to go on stage.
With his popularity, at such an elegant and formal party.
There was no reason for his elegant violin, the queen of musical instruments, to lose to the most rustic and noisy hooligans who were only fit to make noise in the countryside!
If this kid didn't have the guts to go on stage.
He would change the word "consult" to "duel" between knights.
What was this called in Chinese? It should be a spar.
At the very least, among the Eagle Country's nobles, rejecting this kind of sparring was an act of cowardice, and a loser that others looked down upon!
After making up his mind, William's mood wasn't as bad anymore.
He walked back to the place where he confessed his love, as if he had just sliced apart Dormitory 3.
He got into the expensive white Lamborghini, stepped on the accelerator, and drove out of the campus with a loud exhaust.
Wang Wei and the others were left looking at each other.
Brother William seemed a little abnormal today.
Wang Wei was even more fearful. After he was done being sarcastic, he was afraid that William would vent his anger on him.
But in the end, he didn't…
If they couldn't figure it out, they wouldn't think about it anymore. They still had to help Brother William clean up the mess.
They had to clean up the speakers, flowers, and candles.
…………
On the road some distance away from the confession venue, the Dean of the Folk Music Department, Cheng Youlan, was smoking and humming a tune. It was obvious that she was in a good mood.
Ge Xiu, his old friend from the music department, was speechless." Old Cheng, you're a little bold. You're directly ruining Hades Guan's reputation. I'm convinced!”
Old Man Cheng waved his hand." Principal Guan also knows that he's in the wrong.
If Principal Zhou was in school, do you think he would let these foreign students mess around?
The tiger was not at home, but the monkey was king!”
At the mention of Principal Zhou, the skinny old man Ge Xiu nodded." However, if Principal Zhou was in school, he would probably just smile and ignore it. He would just say that the students should solve their own problems.
As long as it wasn't a big deal in school, he would always be like this.”
Cheng Youlan nodded." That's true.”
Ge Xiu came over and lowered his voice." But seriously, Old Cheng.
Your words really made my blood boil. Look at how Principal Guan is holding it in. His old face is red.
It wasn't just Principal Guan. Dean Liu of the Western Music Department was probably feeling uncomfortable too. You're basically slapping their faces in front of so many students. You might have to make things difficult for you in the future.”
Indeed, at that time, Cheng Youlan kept talking about how good the Chinese people's music was and how good the foreign students 'violin was.
Hades Guan and Liu Minbo, who were both Chinese, would not feel good about it.
However, Cheng Youlan didn't seem to take it to heart. She chuckled and said," Wear it. There are less than a hundred students in the folk music department.
How small can my feet be? Besides, the school has resources, funds, and performance slots. I've never played folk music before. I'm barefoot.
I'm barefoot, why would I be afraid of them wearing shoes?”
"Eh?" Ge Xiu suddenly stopped and tilted his body to size up Old Cheng." That's not right. Old Cheng, didn't you say that you've seen through these things?
He just wanted to quietly get through these few years, retire, and play the piano.
What did you say in your poem…
That's right!
'Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely looking at the southern mountain'!”
Old Man Cheng chuckled." You believe this kind of nonsense? I want to fight for it, but I'm not good enough. What can I get?
However, things are different now!"
"Different?" Ge Xiu asked.
"Yes!" For the first time, Old Man Cheng took out a box of beautifully packaged cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to his old friend. He continued," You dare to bring down the emperor with your life!
I want to fight for the spot to represent the school in this year's China Musical Instrument TV Awards!”
"Ah?" Ge Xiu was stunned.
The China Musical Instrument TV Awards was an annual event!
It was the most influential competition in the Chinese musical instrument industry, with the highest value and the most views!
Usually, there were many categories in a musical instrument competition.
For example, they were divided into professional groups and amateur groups according to their professional level.
According to their age, they were divided into children, teenagers, young adults, and so on.
According to the types of instruments, they were divided into strings, wind, plucked strings, and so on.
But not in this match!
It was just a duel between musical instrument experts selected by the top Chinese universities, troupes, organizations, or individuals.
There were no restrictions, only more shocking performances and music!
The competition also had an extremely professional and luxurious judging panel, as well as an absolutely fair scoring mechanism!
Last year, William Wang had represented the school in the competition. In the end, he had won fifth place.
In fact, this ranking was more or less exaggerated. At that time, William Wang had played an original violin piece.
It was said that it was completed under his guidance, but to be honest, most people did not think that a child like him could compose such a piece.
However, rules were rules. You couldn't verify such things.
In fact, the music that William Wang composed after that was far inferior to the original song that he had performed in the finals.
Just like that, William Wang took back the fifth place on behalf of the school. It still increased the school's reputation and reputation by a large margin.
This was also one of the reasons why Vice Principal Guan, as well as many teachers and higher-ups in the school, gave William Wang special privileges.
Such a performance!
Ge Xiu didn't think that Old Man Cheng's folk music department would have a chance to participate!
Therefore, she subconsciously shouted out in surprise.
Cheng Youlan lit the cigarette in her hand as if she could see the confusion and surprise in her old friend and colleague's eyes.
"Don't you think that the suona was played very well and very special?”
Ge Xiu nodded, but he still didn't quite understand." You mean the kid you asked him to look for you tomorrow?
His suona was not bad, but was it suitable for the stage?
Moreover, it's such a big stage. I think the suona is more suitable for the people.”
"Wrong!" Cheng Youlan shook her head." Do you still remember that about 20 years ago, China TV released a documentary about those ethnic instruments?”
Ge Xiu tried his best to recall. After a moment, he suddenly understood." I know! You even participated!
At that time, your banner was to awaken everyone's confidence in national culture and revive national musical instruments!
However, the response was not great.
Now that you mention it, I remember that Youji talked about suona.
There was an old suona craftsman who said something that made many folk musicians sigh with emotion.
But I forgot what it was about…"
Cheng Youlan's expression was downcast." I remember that he was an old suona craftsman who made a living by playing suona. He said.
" I heard that you're here for an interview. All the people in the industry nearby are here. They're all over the age of 60.
Now that you want to pass it on to the children, some children don't even learn this thing because they find it embarrassing.
Our generation might be the last to learn western instruments.
No one is learning anymore…"
After saying that, he repeated," No one is learning anymore…"
I recommend two folk music themed movies," All Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix " and " Shining Girl ".
