Chen Guang crossed his arms and looked at the two of them, still smiling. "Mr. Pires from France, what I just said to Mr. Holland is that I think I have some attainments in the piano, so I don't think it'll be difficult for me to perform with you on the same stage."
Without waiting for Pires to reply, he turned to Christina and switched to Portuguese. "Ms. Christina, I admire your straightforwardness. It sounds to me like you're saying that letting someone like you play the piano is a waste of God's gift, don't you think so?"
"No, Mr. Chen, I was just joking."
Christina had heard that Chinese people were very reserved and polite, so she also learned from the Chinese style and said some sarcastic words. Who would have thought that Chen Guang seemed to be different from the Chinese people she had imagined? He actually exposed her directly, and now it was awkward.
"Uh, Mr. Chen, were you speaking French just now?"
At this time, Pires suddenly interrupted.
Christina was also stunned at first, but then she also realized that she seemed to have been led into the ditch by Chen Guang, and started speaking Portuguese. She wondered, "You know Portuguese too?"
Chen Guang nodded. "Yes, French and Portuguese. Is that strange? Compared to Chinese, your language is much easier to learn. "
"How is that possible!"
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
"What's impossible about it? I have two friends. One of them doesn't like to bathe, and letting him bathe is more uncomfortable than killing him, so he went to France. I also have a friend who is a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, and he went to Portugal … "
"So you often talk to them, and then you learned French and Portuguese?" Ravin Holland, who was at the side, had already seen through his behavior.
Chen Guang smiled. "Yes, I think you might not have seen my press conference about DL 199333 flight yesterday. At that press conference, I publicly said that no matter what it is, as long as I want to learn it, as long as I put in a little effort, I can learn it. Moreover, as long as I learn it, I must be at the top level in the world, including the piano. "
"You might be wrong about one thing. You think that I want to create hype and become a master of fake hype. That's why I need the five of you to serve as a foil. That's why I spent so much money to invite the five of you."
"Isn't that so? I've seen the press conference you mentioned, and one of my students is also on the plane. He will also come to this concert today. He once told me about your amazing performance on the plane, but I think that flying a plane and playing the piano have nothing to do with each other. I've also seen your previous public performances, and I can't deny that Mr. Chen does have some fancy skills, but that doesn't mean that you have deep attainments. Piano is an art, and it needs to be settled. It's not to find a beautiful name for yourself, and put on a precious Nightingale. "
At this time, the piano master from the United States, who had not spoken much, spoke. What a coincidence, he happened to be the tutor of the young musician from the Leiden Academy of Music that Chen Guang met on the plane.
"What you said is not without reason. It is precisely because this is art that it is more difficult to quantify, but it doesn't matter, I have my ways. How about this, in order to make today's public performance more exciting, I have just made a decision. After today's performance, I will give the original sound source of the public performance to you. You can find other famous piano masters to comment on it, or you can take it to the major music academies and let people listen to it blindly. It doesn't matter. If I really am not qualified to be compared to you, then I will buy the Nightingale and give it to one of you. I will give it to whoever plays the best tonight. How about that? Although the art of piano is very subjective, if the object of comparison is magnified to the whole world, it should have a certain degree of persuasiveness, right? "
When the Nightingale was first made, it was estimated to be worth more than three million US dollars. Now that Bibrovsky had passed away many years ago, considering the commemorative significance of it being out of print, its value should at least double, reaching a shocking amount of six million US dollars.
Even though the five masters present were not poor, when they heard Chen Guang's words, they were still shocked.
What's more, a treasure like the Nightingale was priceless. Even if you had the money, you might not be able to buy it.
"You must be joking, right?"
Ravin Horde's eyes widened. Although he already had several Steinway pianos that were out of print, Bibrovsky's posthumous "Nightingale" was still a treasure that he dreamed of.
He simply could not resist this terrible temptation.
Every artist who loved the piano could not refuse a masterpiece like the "Nightingale." It could even be said that owning this piano could even bring his personal achievements to a higher level.
He did not mind adding such a paragraph to his personal Wikipedia description in the future, "Owner of Bibrovsky's posthumous' Nightingale. '"
The other four people were not much better. This was too ridiculous. This was not a small gift, this was a Nightingale that was worth six million US dollars!
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chen Guang smiled. "Everyone, do I look like I'm joking? Since I'm willing to spend 1.2 million to invite all of you here, you should be able to understand one thing. Money, to me, is really nothing. "
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The pleasure of showing off at zero cost was really refreshing. Don't be fooled by his exaggerated words, in fact, he was just making things up.
He had no idea who the owner of this "Nightingale" was, nor had he ever come into contact with them.
Since they had spent a lot of money to buy this "Nightingale" and carefully transported it over thousands of miles on a cruise ship, they obviously did not lack money. To buy this kind of treasure, money was one aspect, even if they had the money, they might not be willing to sell it.
On one hand, he was unhappy that these people looked down on him because he was stupid. On the other hand, since they all thought that he was stupid because he was rich, then he would let them see what real money was like.
Didn't you all look down on me?
If you have the ability, then show me some real ability. Make me kneel before you wholeheartedly, then I will give you the "Nightingale".
Unfortunately, no matter how happy, excited, or excited you are, it is useless.
Because in the end, you will definitely kneel at my feet!
I'm just letting you have fun. Do you really think that I have a hole in my brain to give away something that is worth millions of US dollars?
He first had an unpleasant meeting with the few of them. Looking at the time, it was only 6: 30 p.m., and Chen Guang heard that Wu Tong was eating a boxed lunch in the command vehicle. Since Chen Guang also hadn't eaten dinner yet, he went to the backstage and found a wig to wear before putting on his mask and ran out.
Sister Wu Tong had worked so hard, he should go and comfort her. At the same time, he could also see if he could do some shameful things in the command car.
He ran to the door of the command car in the parking lot with his neck hunched, and then knocked on it twice.
Wu Tong, who was eating inside, thought that there was an emergency and opened the door with a box of food in her mouth. She said in a muffled voice, "What's the matter … pfft …"
Before she could finish speaking, she spat out all the food in her mouth. The pear blossoms in the storm shot straight at Chen Guang's face.
Old Master Guang could not dodge in time and was hit in the face.
Silently raising his hand to wipe his face, Chen Guang raised his head in distress. "What are you doing? What are you doing! "
Wu Tong rolled her eyes at him. "You're asking me? When did you start playing 2D Cosplay? Do you think you're not famous enough? Are you planning to enter 2D? Do you want to do a house dance on Bilibili? "
"Huh? I don't really understand what you're talking about. "
Chen Guang was still in a daze.
Wu Tong pulled him in first, then took out her phone and took a picture for him. "See for yourself."
Now he knew why Wu Tong had laughed out loud.
First of all, although the wig was black, it was very fluffy and looked like the hairstyle of the main character in an anime. Secondly, his mask was a little indecent. There was a big mouth drawn on his mouth, and he looked like the main character in Tokyo Ghoul, Kaneki Ken.
"Accident, it's a complete accident. Do you have more boxed lunches? Can you give me one? "
Chen Guang took off his mask and wig and looked around. He could not help but feel a little disappointed. There were three other police officers in the command car other than Wu Tong. It seemed like he could not do the shameful things anymore.
"Right, what's the situation outside? Are there any signs of suspicious people? "
As he ate, Chen Guang asked about the matter at hand.
Wu Tong frowned slightly and shook her head. "I'm worried about this. There's not a single suspicious person, but I can't help but feel uneasy. We've confirmed the identities of all the foreigners, and all of them have detailed immigration records. We've also communicated with the international intelligence organization, and there's no problem with their identities. "
"What about the Chinese?"
"How do we confirm the Chinese? There are so many people, and we can only strengthen the security checks when the audience enters. Didn't you see your fans complaining? They said that watching a piano concert is like entering the Great Hall of the People. The procedures are so complicated. Now that we've entered early, I think we'll have to wait until 7: 50 before everyone can enter. "
Wu Tong sighed.
"It's okay. Safety first. We can't be too careful."
As the two were chatting, the police officer in charge of intelligence suddenly turned around and said loudly, "Bureau Chief, we just received news!"
Wu Tong put down the lunchbox. "What?"
The intelligence officer swallowed his saliva. "Our colleagues in the Security Bureau have just received news that The Broken is trying to negotiate with them."
"What did The Broken say?"
"They want us to provide them with Xue Lin's whereabouts. Otherwise, they will definitely launch a suicide attack in Beijing today!"
Wu Tong's brows furrowed even more. "Nothing else?"
"No, our colleagues from the Security Bureau planned to deal with them, but we didn't receive any reply to the message we sent. They are very careful. After sending a message, there was no more movement. Our anti-tracking also failed."
"A suicide attack? Other than us, there's a celebrity meeting in Dongcheng District today, and a shopping mall in Haiding District is having its opening ceremony. Other regular locations like cinemas are operating normally, but attacking those targets won't affect us too much. If they really want to do it, I'm afraid they'll do it directly. Their target should still be us! "
Wu Tong sighed. "Sigh, I really can't rest for a second."
Chen Guang also finished his lunch quickly and stood up with her. "Let's go and see what's going on."
Wu Tong pushed him. "Save it. You're not a secret agent. I don't want you to be a hindrance! Furthermore, it's all your fans outside. If someone recognizes you, it'll be a lot of trouble. "
"What do you mean by hindrance? I'm the chief instructor of Shunde's special training camp. Even if you see me, you have to call me teacher. Let's go. Who knows, I might be lucky. An ordinary person like you won't understand my luck. "
"Screw you, ordinary person!"
Although Wu Tong was reluctant, she didn't reject Chen Guang's company.
After all, he was wearing a mask with a big mouth. Coupled with his wig, the probability of being recognized wasn't high.
