Chapter 275 Tough
For ordinary people in China, which is far away on the other side of the Eurasian continent, IS's New Year's Eve concert is too far away from them. It is not at all comparable to the local TV stations' New Year's Eve parties. Many people don't even know when the concert will be held in the Golden Hall. After all, symphony music does not belong to the mass category and its audience is only among a small group of people.
Of course, apart from Wang Zhengliang’s fans and his re-employment group fans, few people knew that two Chinese musicians also joined the concert.
At this stage, the highlights are not very strong, and the influence of the food and drinks is not enough. In addition, before the concert album was released, domestic fans had almost no channels to get the inside information of the concert. Therefore, Wang Zhengliang's participation in the international New Year's Eve concert only appeared at the end of the hot search in the domestic entertainment industry.
The most popular time was when IS announced the list of names, but then the news was blocked as no one in the domestic media paid attention to it, and the popularity quickly dissipated. At the end of the month, passers-by in the country of music occasionally took photos of Wang Zhengliang and Yu Yu abroad, but they knew nothing else.
Even the popularity of Yu Yu going skiing in the Alps is higher than the popularity of the New Year's Eve concert in China. This is the current situation of classical symphony music in China.
It was not until noon on the 30th, local time in China, that a bright spot who had thousands of fans and could climb over the wall, had nothing to do during lunch and thought that at this time in the Kingdom of Music, it was already the early morning of the second day after the concert, so she climbed up the Internet using a ladder to check out the details of the concert.
Maybe she searched for information about it a lot, so when she refreshed her homepage, a long review about the concert appeared, written by Victor Wade, a music critic from Great Britain.
After a quick glance, she found it unbelievable that this person was flattering almost the entire article. She was afraid that she didn't learn foreign languages well enough and didn't understand the specific meaning of the person. She read it carefully twice and finally confirmed that this media person was really praising IS, the symphony, the production, the musicians, and so on.
Wow, he praised her little ability!
The clay pot rice in front of her suddenly lost its fragrance. She didn't even want to eat. She immediately took a screenshot of the comment, translated it according to the screenshot, and then posted it on her own page. She tagged the fan club and several big fans, and also tagged Wang Zhengliang himself, his trumpet, and his studio, and added the tags: #Being led by Wang Zhengliang＃ #IS New Year's Eve Concert Opening Pianist Wang Zhengliang＃ #Sister Wei's Principal＃.
This review from a foreign music critic was seen by her fans as soon as it was published. After reading the full text full of praise, they excitedly forwarded it to other relatives and friends to read. Gradually, the scale of the review increased and the number of views changed almost every second.
[I often worry that IS will run out of ideas one day, and I also worry that everything has an end, but I can't help but look forward to it. I hope that IS, which has made innovative feats in symphony every year, will bring a different shock to the industry this year.]
【After nearly three hours, the dust settled. My worries were unfounded, and my expectations were finally answered. If last year's New Year's Eve symphony arrangement brought us a hard science fiction world full of coldness and steel, then this year's symphony is a paradise that pays more attention to society and humanity.】
[Yes, I compared IS's symphony to one magical world after another, and this is not an exaggeration. If you are lucky enough to own an album of IS's New Year's Eve concert, you will have the same feeling as me after listening to it. This is also the greatness of IS that is different from other music studios. What they create is not just a series of beautiful melodies, but also a world composed of notes. ]
At this point, Victor briefly explained the complexity of symphony composition and the difference between modern music and classical music, and then introduced the following passage:
[…When the list of members was announced, I still couldn’t understand why IS chose Reno Wang as the performer of the opening song. It wasn’t until the almost magnificent piano sounded that I gradually got the answer.]
[I have to apologize to Mr. Wang for my former self, and thank IS for its unconventional way of hiring people, which has allowed the music industry to see many hidden gems. I think after tonight, even if I just brush it off in words, many commentators will feel ashamed of their previous prejudices as I did.]
[The gorgeous notes of classical music are just a lubricant in his hands. I never thought that one day music full of oriental rhythmic aesthetics would enter my mind in such a non-preachy way. I never thought that the pentatonic scale of Fa could have such infinite combinations.]
[In the eyes of ordinary people, classical music has extremely high requirements for all details such as structure, melody, musical form, playing techniques, counterpoint, harmony, modulation, chords, etc., which makes classical music full of complex musical elements and numerous notes only exist as the protagonist in concert performances. They are a prosperous and splendid chapter in the history of music, and it is almost impossible to integrate them with other genres of music...]
Victor also specifically explained the counterpoint in classical music. Simply put, counterpoint is the most typical and important compositional technique in classical music creation.
Creating two melody lines on the same timeline is similar to the harmony of a chorus, but more complex than harmony, because the melodies of the two melody lines may be different, or the melodies may be the same but with different parts, or even multiple parts may play the same melody together.
This is also called polyphonic music.
[…This groundbreaking piano piece is different. As its creator, Mr. Wang skillfully integrated the pentatonic scale into polyphonic music through precise control of the music, combined it with classical music in the form of counterpoint, and even incorporated pop music elements that he is good at in the last part.]
[The whole song starts with the incredible combination of these three elements and moves into a whole new realm, as if the fierce collision of three different cultures eventually becomes a brand new paradise where different cultures coexist harmoniously.]
[This is also the theme that the symphony that lasts more than two hours will express, the humanities world.]
[The piano piece that Reno Wang brought earlier, which combined three different cultural backgrounds, was a nearly perfect opening piece under this premise. And the groundbreaking move of integrating dozens of national modes in the world with modern symphony music made IS create the most incredible epoch-making work so far...]
Victor must be a die-hard fan of IS, because he spent more time and effort later in the article, analyzing the music and social wisdom behind the three chapters of the symphony, making this review more like an essay and explanation than a commentary.
Looking at the time when the other party published the article, it was exactly the early morning of the next day after the concert. It was obvious that he rushed out the article overnight after listening to the concert.
Of course, if Victor was the only one praising it like this, then it could be said that it was because of his own fan filter for IS that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. But if almost all the media people who attended the New Year's Eve concert and the ordinary audiences who got the tickets expressed unanimous praise for Wang Zhengliang's debut, the performance of the orchestra led by Sister Wei, and IS's works, then that would be a bit scary.
Even the German music critic Siegfried Wittelsbach, who is known for his venomous criticism, praised the new symphony and Wang Zhengliang's piano music after listening to it...
The fans suddenly felt like it was unreal that they had sent their children to the first grade of elementary school, but when they came back from school, the teacher told them that their children had skipped a grade and were being sought after by Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Ivy League schools abroad.
The hot search finally exploded!
[So, is this what it feels like to be carried by the real person? This time, the fans didn't even have a channel to collect data for Liang Liang, but Liang Liang sent himself to the international stage and received unanimous praise? ]
[Are you saying that we fans don't even know the details, but Xiao Neng was praised by countless foreign media overnight? That's right, it's stable and reassuring. ]
[Sister Wei is so amazing, woo woo woo, I declare that Sister Wei is the world's number one violinist in my mind, and she is the principal of an entire symphony orchestra! The key is that she is beautiful and gentle, Wang Zhengliang, you married well, I also want to marry such an excellent elder sister! ]
[Sister Wei’s family of three may be a little crowded, but four people is just right. It is more important for the four of us to live a good life than anything else. 】
[Both teachers are so amazing, this is the kind of duo I love to read, foreign persimmon, do you understand? Stop pushing me some messy literature about pregnant wives with eight or nine treasures! ]
[It has to be a professional music critic who is well-educated to write something different, and he can praise in various ways. But I am not well-educated, so I can only say "wow, awesome" to get the job done.]
At first, the comments on the Internet were quite harmonious and everyone was excited about the fact that Weiweiliang and his wife had made a big move "quietly", but gradually some "strange" voices appeared. If they remembered correctly, the Reuters report in the Music Capital at that time included not only Wang Zhengliang, but also Yu Yu, right?
[So, what role does YY play here? Manual dog head.jpg. ]
[It’s the role of a street wanderer. I like to wander around online and travel around the world offline. I’m a travel blogger. ]
[It's so funny. They are performing as artists, and he is just one of the audience. But he is rich, and he can spend money to buy a box for the rich people in the Middle East, so he can also spend money to buy a seat. I just don't know why 5 can't buy a performance spot for himself when he is so rich? Isn't he also a music creator, and he is always praised by the others? Why is it that in the end, our low-key Professor Wang gets to go on stage? ]
【Fortunately, IS is an independent studio that will never be moved by money and will always pursue the ultimate in music. 】
Although Yu Yu's fry were trained by the real owner to be quite Buddhist, and they understood the real owner's essence of lying down, no matter how good-tempered they were, they couldn't stand Du Wei running to their house for no reason and pooping, so they immediately started to fight back -
Fish Fry: [No way, no way, no way, there are still people who don’t know that our Fish is a well-connected Fish, and is a good friend of Q God and is also familiar with IS, right? Even if you don’t know this, don’t you know that Q God’s agent has a close relationship with IS? ]
Duwei: [Don’t be jealous, people with connections can’t perform on stage either. ]
Fish Fry: [Actually, I’m quite curious about how you think Brother Liang and Sister Wei joined the New Year’s Eve concert.]
Duwei: [Depend on your own strength, do you really need to rely on some connections? ]
Fish Fry: [Okay, okay, the wind of breaking up finally hits our Yu Liang. ]
Duwei: [You are the ones who are breaking up with your brother 5, we just want you to recognize the gap in reality. ]
When the toxic fans are being sarcastic, they fear that no one will pay attention to them and they will stop arguing. The more the fans respond, the more excited they become. By the end of the argument, the heat is rising, and the atmosphere of congratulations and blessings from everyone at the beginning has completely changed.
While the fans were arguing heatedly online, the guys could not hold back and could only laugh out loud in the group chat, taking screenshots of various confusing comments and sending them to the group. Every overly typical comment would attract more than ten complaints from them that would make them laugh until their stomachs hurt.
Only a few people in the world know that Yu Yu is Query, the boss of IS, and the heir of Duke Alaric. They all hold the big news in their hands but cannot tell anyone. I wonder if these extreme fans will quickly roll their eyes and delete these confusing remarks after knowing Yu Yu's layers of identities in the future.
Why the hell are those two still on the plane when the show is so exciting?
After all the complaints, there was only a series of crazy tags in the group, which prompted Yu Yu and Wang Zhengliang to check the group messages immediately after getting off the plane.
Wei Liangyu and his two companions arrived at the Capital International Airport in the afternoon. Thanks to the overly concerned reminder from their good brother, they knew the whole story of the online dispute as soon as they got off the plane.
Sister Wei looked embarrassed, Wang Zhengliang tried to hold back his laughter so hard that his lips were pursed, and Yu Yu... He excitedly took out his cell phone and opened his eyes, wanting to have a deep exchange with Du Wei.
Wang Zhengliang knew Query's fighting power. He immediately grabbed Yu Yu, who was in a state of fun, opened his eyes and directly posted an update and tagged Yu Yu: [Thanks to our Xiaoyu for the birthday gift. I will never forget that night in the Golden Hall. ]
Many people always think that he has a gentle personality because he is low-key, non-competitive and caring. In fact, Wang Zhengliang has always been a person who will stand up and confront problems at the first time. He was like this when he confronted the judges in the past, and he is also like this now when he personally comes out to defend his younger brother.
