Chapter 244: Average? Are you very good at piano? Do you want to go up and perform?
Let's not talk about whether "Legend of Sword" can win the award after getting Randall's support, but how did he get Randall's support? Is it just based on Richardson's recommendation?
Not realistic.
Really unrealistic.
Randall may have some friendship with Richardson, and he would try to impress the operating director of Ice and Snow Company in person, but he would never take it to heart afterwards. For a piano musician like Randall, if you want to impress him, you have to rely on music.
Rely on your real skills. Otherwise, no one will recommend you.
So after thinking about it, Wang Xuan shook his head: "No need."
"Okay. Let me continue to introduce you. Do you know the relatively young gentleman on the left of Randall, who is wearing a tuxedo?" Richardson asked.
Wang Xuan and Li Tao shook their heads at the same time.
Taro Yamamoto, who was next to him, had deep disdain in his eyes and couldn't help but sneered: "Where did this country bumpkin come from? He doesn't even know Mr. Bollig. Why are you here to attend a concert?"
"Who do you think is a country bumpkin? Is Bollig famous? If you don't know him, he is a country bumpkin?" Li Tao said.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Bollig is indeed quite famous. He is a world-famous piano genius. He was born in a musical family. His father is a world-famous violinist and his mother is a singer. He has been bathed in the music atmosphere since he was a child.
So his musical literacy is very high.
When he was 10 years old, Polig was accepted as a student at the French Conservatoire, and he quickly distinguished himself with his musical talent and hard work. At the age of 15, Polig won the Rouvier Classical Music Prize. Now 35, Polig
Liger is already a world-famous pianist, and everyone believes that over time, Mr. Poliger will definitely have a place among the top ten pianists in the world." Richardson said at the side.
"Did you hear that? Country bumpkin!" Taro Yamamoto said proudly.
Just when Li Tao wanted to fight back, Richardson said again: "Mr. Yamamoto, I don't agree with what you said. Although Mr. Bollig is famous, it is normal not to know him. Just like Mr. Wang Xuan in front of me, the same
A famous musician, do you know him?"
"He is a famous musician? How is that possible?" Taro Yamamoto questioned.
"Look, Mr. Wang Xuan is indeed a world-famous musician, but you don't know him. Does that mean you are also a country bumpkin?" Richardson said.
"The question is, who is a world-famous musician? Do you think he is? Does he have any works outside the music industry? If so, how could I not recognize him?" Taro Yamamoto said.
"Among the 8 works nominated for the Pure Music Award at the Global Music Awards, "Fairy Sword" was written by Mr. Wang Xuan. Does it count as Mr. Wang Xuan's debut work? If not, then "World of Warcraft" theme song "
Does “The Dawn” count?”
"." Yamamoto Taro was speechless, knowing that he had hit a brick wall. "Fairy Tale" was shortlisted for the Global Music Awards like his "Sakura Blossoms", so naturally it can be regarded as an out-of-the-art work, otherwise he would be denying himself.
.
But this is second. Taro Yamamoto may not know Wang Xuan, but he must know "The Dawn". As the theme song of "World of Warcraft", this song is not only popular among players, but also very famous in the international music industry.
Many people think that if "The Dawn" wins the Global Music Award, it will most likely win it.
"Look, you are calling others country bumpkins, so you are the country bumpkin, right?" Li Tao retorted, feeling quite proud.
"What are you so proud of? It's impossible for "Fairy Sword" to win the award," said Taro Yamamoto.
"Say it as if you can win a prize." Li Tao retorted.
"At least the probability is higher than in "Fairy Sword"."
Li Tao was stunned when he heard this. He just said a casual comment, but he didn't expect that the other party responded that the chance of winning the award was greater than "Fairy Sword". Does this mean that the other party also has a work shortlisted for the Global Music Award? Li Tao looked at Richardson.
"Mr. Yamamoto is a famous musician from the island country. He was also shortlisted for the Global Music Award this time. He is a direct competitor with Mr. Wang Xuan. The song "Sakura Blossoms in the Sky" was composed by Mr. Yamamoto."
Yamamoto Taro felt a little proud when he heard this, snorted and put on a arrogant look.
Wang Xuan shook his head and signaled Li Tao to ignore Taro Yamamoto.
Richardson continued to introduce to Wang Xuan: "The person talking to Mr. Randall now is Mr. Hamel. Like Bollig, Hamel was born in a musical family. He should not be considered a genius.
But his diligence and solid foundation are amazing.
Relying on hard work and solid skills, Mr. Hamel won the first prize in the Warsaw Piano Competition at the age of 17. At the age of 20, Mr. Hamel won the gold medal at the Prokfiev Piano Competition. At the age of 25, he won the first prize in the Warsaw Piano Competition.
First place in the International Piano Competition.
Mr. Hamel has a top-notch sense of music, and his free play of melodies and elastic speed control of phrases are unmatched by any pianist of his generation. He is known as a "steady and wild genius".
Although Hamel is not among the top ten pianists in the world today, he has a high status in the piano world. By the way, Mr. Hamel is also one of the jury members for this Pure Music Performance Award."
After Richardson's introduction, as the lights dimmed for a while, the concert finally kicked off.
After the concert started, the scene was quiet, and Richardson stopped introducing, but quietly listened to the music.
The curling notes of piano music surround the entire music hall.
Li Tao doesn't know much about piano, he doesn't study piano music deeply, and he doesn't understand the meaning of piano music. He only knows that the music is nice, comfortable, and brisk.
Of course, if Li Tao were to describe it, he could only use the word "nice" to describe it.
Other than that, Li Tao really can't describe it.
Among the fans at the scene, Li Tao felt that he was just filling in the numbers. If it were a popular song, Li Tao might be able to speak a few words, but piano music was pure music, and he really had no ability to appreciate it.
After the first pianist finished playing, the audience applauded wildly and showed great excitement and enthusiasm. Li Tao also applauded. He glanced at Wang Xuan from the corner of his eye and found that Wang Xuan seemed a little absent-minded. Li Tao was curious and asked Wang Xuan: "Brother Xuan."
Son, how about this piano music?"
"General." Wang Xuan said. The piano music just now was actually quite good, but Wang Xuan, whose ears had been trained by countless classic piano music, really couldn't arouse his interest.
"Average? This is Brandt's famous song "The Wind", and you actually said it was average. So your piano skills are very high? Do you want to go up and perform?" Taro Yamamoto said disdainfully after hearing this.
Wang Xuan shook his head and was too lazy to pay attention to Taro Yamamoto.
But Wang Xuan could bear it, but Li Tao didn't want to. He said, "Have you never eaten pork and seen a pig run? If you say you're going to perform, you're going to perform. Who do you think you are?"
"If you don't dare, don't dare. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Taro Yamamoto sneered.
"You dare to say the same thing. If you have the ability, go ahead." Li Tao said again.
"." Taro Yamamoto stopped talking. In fact, he knows piano, but he can only be considered proficient, not top-notch. It would be fine in other places. But in this kind of pure music concert, he seems to be a master of his own skills.
The second musician came on stage to play a symphony.
If Li Tao doesn't have the ability to appreciate piano music, he can still listen to it, but Li Tao can't hear anything at all about symphony music.
It's like playing the piano to a cow.
Li Tao subconsciously glanced at Taro Yamamoto, only to see that Taro Yamamoto had his eyes closed and seemed to be enjoying the symphony. Other audience members also closed their eyes and listened to the music quietly.
Is this the high-level enjoyment of the upper class?
Ordinarily, with Li Tao's financial resources, he should be considered an upper-class person, but in this concert, Li Tao felt like a loser.
But when he looked at Wang Xuan, he felt happy for a moment.
Because if he was the first audience member with their eyes open at the scene, then Wang Xuan was the second one. The latter was listless and did not look like he was listening to music at all.
"Brother Xuan, don't you understand?" Li Tao asked in a low voice, curious.
Wang Xuan shook his head.
At this moment, Yamamoto Taro's voice came again: "You don't want to say that this symphony is just average, do you?"
"It's really average." Wang Xuan said.
"Tsk, tsk, if you don't understand, it's normal. I understand." Yamamoto Taro clicked his tongue in surprise, his tone full of sarcasm.
Wang Xuan shook his head and said nothing.
Wang Xuan is accustomed to listening to "Symphony of Destiny", "Blue Danube" and other world-class symphonies. The song "Storm" in front of him really cannot move him or make his heart fluctuate.
Chapter completed!
