Li Guowei looked at Qin Ze in surprise. Not everyone could be called a piano master. There were only a handful of pianists in the country who could be called a "master." Even he was still a long way from the title of "piano master." To give a simpler example, it was like the difference between a luxurious platinum and the Greatest King.
"Are you from the International Musicians' Association?" Li Guowei looked at him seriously.
Qin Ze shook his head.
"How should I address you?" Li Guowei asked again.
"Qin Ze," Qin Ze said.
Li Guowei pondered for a moment and his tone became strange. "You're not from the circle, right? I've never heard of you."
Qin Ze was speechless. "I've only studied piano for a few years."
At this point, Li Guowei was no longer interested in continuing the conversation with Qin Ze. He looked at Pei Ziqi. "What song do you want to listen to?"
Pei Ziqi didn't hesitate. "Blue and white porcelain."
Li Guowei was stunned. He didn't know how to play blue and white porcelain. Pianists disdained pop music, and it was a new song.
"It's a very famous pop song on 'I Am a Singer,'" Manager Zhang explained.
Li Guowei said unhappily, "Pop music is not within the scope of my practice. Of course, if you have a score, I can play it too."
Pei Ziqi didn't have a score, of course.
She curled her lips.
Manager Zhang said at the right time, "Just play a piano song, Teacher Li. I remember that the piano song you played a few days ago was very nice. It's the one you posted on Weibo. Many people liked it."
"You mean 'To Qin Bao Bao'?"
Manager Zhang high-fived. "That's right. You recorded a video. Don't we follow each other on Weibo? Sigh, I've listened to it many times. It's really nice. It's definitely at the master level. "
"I've heard of this song before. It's said that the International Musicians' Association plans to let the original composer participate in the International Piano Competition." As Nan Man Pei spoke, he glanced at Qin Ze with a faint smile.
"That's something that hasn't been settled yet. Let's not talk about this. Listen to Teacher Li first. Manager Zhang purposely suppressed the mysterious author in order to elevate Li Guowei.
In the southwest corner of the hall, there was a piano. The staff was playing soothing and melodious music to adjust the atmosphere of the club. It was indeed high-class, unlike ordinary private clubs where the music was played from the speakers.
This was a live performance by a real person.
Li Guowei asked the staff to get up and sat down. After pondering for a moment, he opened his eyes, exhaled, and placed his hands on the piano keys. In the next moment, notes drifted out like flowing water.
A beautiful melody sounded. The rhythm was bright and comfortable, like a clear spring flowing in summer.
In an instant, it attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Some people looked over in shock, while others couldn't help but approach. Some people were listening attentively.
Li Guowei's posture was straight. His shoulders did not move, but his wrists were nimble. His ten fingers danced on the piano keys, playing a heavenly music.
It had to be said that he had gone through a lot of hard work. He was so skilled that it was as if he was the composer of the song.
Listening to this song, everyone felt relaxed and carefree. At the same time, they were attracted by the faint sadness in the piano.
As expected of the king of musical instruments, it hit the soul directly.
Pei Ziqi was surprised. She had heard this song before. At that time, she just felt that it was not bad. After all, her level of appreciation was limited. Moreover, the piano in the video was electronically simulated. How could it be comparable to a real piano?
It wasn't until today when she heard "To Qin Bao Bao" again that she clearly understood the charm of this piano song.
After Li Guowei finished playing this song, the hall was filled with warm applause.
Manager Zhang even cheered loudly and clapped desperately.
It was as if this guy was attending a piano concert. He stood up and bowed in all directions.
"Ms. Pei, not bad, right?" Manager Zhang was all smiles. "Teacher Li's standard is top-notch in the International Musicians' Association. At his age, there aren't many people who are better than him."
Nan Man Pei smiled calmly. Hearing this, she blinked. "I think the original work is better."
Li Guowei raised his eyebrows. "Sister Pei, the composer is talented. There's nothing to criticize him about that. However, when it comes to playing the piano, I'm confident that I'm better than him. From my professional point of view, there are many places in that video that he didn't handle carefully enough, and the conversion between high and low notes wasn't perfect. The reason why he's so popular is entirely because of the shock of his new work. During this period of time, his popularity has dropped. There are also many professionals playing his songs online. There are all kinds of videos, and some are even better than his original work. The International Musicians' Association decided to invite him to meet and test his skills on the spot. It's not a done deal that he'll participate in the International Piano Competition. As far as I know, this composer has never contacted the International Musicians' Association … Hehe! "
The last chuckle was filled with disdain.
When the onlookers heard this, they immediately started to discuss.
"So the original composer of 'To Qin Bao Bao' is just average."
"That's impossible."
"Why not? Being able to write songs doesn't necessarily mean that you can sing. Creative talent and singing talent are not the same thing. It's the same on the piano. "
"You don't say, that's true. This young man plays so well. I've heard the original video, but it's not as good as his. It feels like he's a level better. "
A father and daughter were not far away. The daughter shook her father's arm. "Dad, I want him to be my piano teacher."
The father smiled dotingly. "Okay, okay, okay. I'll ask later."
Li Guowei became more and more smug. He glanced at Nan Man Pei as if to say that there would never be a shortage of good things. However, psychologically, he was more willing to be Pei Ziqi's piano teacher. Beauties, big and small, were so pleasing to the eye. Any man would know how to choose.
In the piano circle, there was no lack of handsome and talented piano teachers who were admired and liked by rich young ladies. Then, there were stories of lovers who eventually got married.
Nan Man Pei didn't make a statement. Instead, he turned to ask Qin Ze, "What do you think?"
Qin Ze's evaluation was unusually valiant. He said, "The form is similar, but the spirit isn't. It's really comfortable for laymen to listen to."
Li Guowei looked at him as if he was an idiot.
Manager Zhang frowned. He thought to himself, 'What's wrong with this kid? Does he know how to play the piano?'
After listening to the song, Pei Ziqi became a loyal fan. She retorted, "What do you mean the form is similar, but the spirit isn't? I think it's very nice. Auntie, I'll invite him. "
Manager Zhang smiled and automatically ignored Qin Ze. "Okay, let's just sign a contract. Let's get it ready. "
Li Guowei also smiled. Just as he was about to speak, Nan Man Pei waved his hand and said, "Qin Ze, you say it."
Qin Ze opened his mouth and said, "The music is a rondo of A-B-A-C-A. The rhythm is 38 beats. The basic theme of the A section is a fresh and simple melody built on the A minor. The first section is relatively simple. There are no problems with the playing. The problem lies in the second section. The B section is a very colorful first section. It is built on a new key, F major. The mood is cheerful and the color is bright. It makes the music jump from the soft and warm mood of A minor to the bright and cheerful atmosphere of F major. The singing in F major is very strong. You said that the original author didn't handle a few high notes well. It should be that after F major, he didn't continue to raise the high notes. Instead, he made a sharp turn and returned to the A section's low notes. This doesn't exist in common piano music. So, you made a slight improvement and added a few high notes after F major. "
Li Guowei said, "What's the problem?"
Qin Ze shook his head. "There's a big problem. I said before that the music is a rondo of A-B-A-C-A. Listening to the two sections alone, it does feel a bit out of place. But from the overall situation, it's perfect. But I can't blame you. Those piano enthusiasts on the Internet who play 'To Qin Bao Bao' all have this problem. After all, you don't have the complete score. "
The onlookers were stunned by Qin Ze's words.
They didn't understand but felt that it was awesome.
Li Guowei was not convinced and said disdainfully, "What you said is all empty words. I don't have the score, but do you?"
In order to learn this song, he repeatedly watched the video and practiced for more than a week.
Qin Ze pointed to his head. "The score is with me."
Li Guowei almost laughed out loud.
Aiyo, are you addicted to showing off?
The score is in your head? Who do you think you are?
Why are you acting all high and mighty?
Manager Zhang's face darkened and he said unhappily, "Young man, Teacher Li is a professional. The song 'To Qin Bao Bao' he played was praised by many seniors in the circle. They said that his playing is better than the original. I'm not flattering him, but those seniors said so. "
Li Guowei looked at Nan Man Pei and then stared at Qin Ze. "How about this, you play this song 'To Qin Bao Bao'. Whether my playing is good or not, there will be a comparison."
In Internet terms, "You kanyouupnocannobibi."
The onlookers were excited. "Play it. I didn't get enough of it just now."
"Young man, after talking for so long, play a song."
"Don't be so sure. Let's see who's better. I think this Teacher Li's playing is already very good. He's definitely the best on the Internet."
"Even if the original author came, he wouldn't dare to say that he played better than him."
Qin Ze turned his head to look at Nan Man Pei. The latter had a playful look on his face. He then looked at Pei Ziqi. The little girl rolled her eyes again.
At this moment, there was a "ding" in his mind. The System's mission notification came.
