I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 246 245. Higher Musical Achievement? Let Jiang Chen play soon?
As usual, there was warm applause at the scene.

but……

Everyone's expressions were not as expectant as in previous episodes.

Everyone just watched Jiang Chen's opening performance and felt it was extremely amazing. It felt that it was completely different from the performances of the previous contestants.

Therefore, at this moment, no one was looking forward to the performances of other contestants. Instead, they hoped that time would pass quickly, these contestants would finish their performances quickly, and they could fast forward to the time when Jiang Chen would perform.

The contestants in front, although they all had top singing skills and sang classic songs from the past...

but……

They're all the same old songs played over and over again.

It does sound nostalgic, a feeling of missing youth and remembering one’s childhood.

but……

There were no surprises after all.

If everyone is like this, then there is nothing to say, and it is okay to reminisce the feelings.

However, everything is afraid of comparison.

Compared with Jiang Chen's top-notch piano performance and the brand new piano piece just now, it is really at least one level lower.

The audience at the scene were not allowed to speak.

However, the audience watching the live broadcast outside were not polite.

On the live broadcast page, the dense barrage of comments are all very impolite.

"Can you just let Lao Jiang start his performance? I won't watch it after seeing Lao Jiang's performance."

"Yes, the others are just singing those old songs. Even the two foreigners are singing the same old songs that we have heard before. There is nothing to look forward to. Let Lao Jiang perform directly. After his performance, the show will be over."

"Can you fast forward? Fast forward to the beginning of Lao Jiang!"

"Hurry up, the contestants ahead should perform quickly, don't waste time!"

"Wow, to be honest, Lao Jiang's performance today really amazed me. I don't want to watch any other performances, including the performances of the two foreigners. I didn't look forward to them. The only one I was looking forward to was Lao Jiang's."

"He's still calling me Old Jiang, Old Jiang, Professor Jiang..."

"Yes, Professor Jiang, please come on stage quickly..."

……

Professor Jiang had already left the stage. As soon as he and Pu Yuexi and the other three left the backstage, Yan Ruyu and Han Qing, who were waiting backstage, came up to greet them.

Yan Ruyu said excitedly: "It's wonderful, Jiang Chen, your piano playing is absolutely master-level, and it has been buried for a long time. If you were to hold a piano recital, you would definitely be qualified."

Pu Yuexi smiled and said, "Jiang Chen's piano playing ability is definitely at the master level."

Chen Xiaojia: "If Jiang Chen wants to hold a concert, I can go to my school and convince them to help!"

Li Wen also said affirmatively: "Our school will definitely not refuse..."

Wang Jing, who had always been invisible, also said in a positive tone: "Zhejiang Conservatory of Music will definitely support Jiang Chen."

because……

The music conservatories they graduated from have contacted them more than once, all wanting them to help persuade Jiang Chen to attend classes at the conservatories they graduated from, or to perform there, or have some exchanges or something like that.

but……

They didn't tell Jiang Chen, fearing that he wouldn't like it.

That's why they were so sure that the schools they graduated from would help Jiang Chen.

Because those colleges are really eager to have him. As long as Jiang Chen shows a little desire to develop in the field of classical music, they will do their best to help Jiang Chen.

Unfortunately……

Jiang Chen has been singing pop music, writing ancient poems, etc. After leaving Beijing, he has not touched musical instruments such as the piano again.

It was not until now that Jiang Chen performed this piece of music publicly for the first time on the stage of a variety show.

It amazed everyone.

The stage effects, performance effects, and the work itself amazed everyone.

Wang Fei, who was far away in Chengdu, sat up straight at this moment, looking at Jiang Chen with eyes shining brightly, and said: "It seems that Jiang Chen has not given up on music development. This song is proof of it. If he can develop well in this area, he will definitely have the opportunity to become a world-class music master."

Li Wenjun's face was also full of amazement. She nodded in agreement without saying anything. She looked at the TV screen and wished she could go to the scene to watch Jiang Chen's performance right away.

……

Jiang Chen led a few people to the lounge and ran into Yuan Caiyi and Zhou Ming who were walking towards them.

The first one to come on stage was Zhou Ming, followed by Yuan Caiyi, Ye Lan, Kailin, Axel, and Chen Xun!

The order of appearance is determined by drawing lots.

Zhou Ming, Ye Lan, Yuan Caiyi, Chen Xun, as well as Kailin and Axe, a total of six people!
Finally, based on the voting statistics and ranking, the two people with the lowest ranking will be eliminated, and two more people will be eliminated in the next show. In the end, only two people will remain for the ultimate imperial city showdown to decide the final king of the Chinese pop music scene.

There are no two-on-two duels, because the loser will look bad and be considered inferior to others, which will put a lot of pressure on public opinion.

Therefore, the King of Singers Contest has always been decided by ranking, and only during the challenge session will there be a one-on-one duel.

So challenging someone else will also offend others.

We have entered the elimination stage. The loser will leave the stage directly and will not be able to participate in the competition next time, but he or she will still have the opportunity to be a guest performer.

No contestant wants to be eliminated.

Yuan Caiyi and Zhou Ming were no exception and neither wanted to leave the stage.

From a purely profit perspective, every additional game you participate in will help you accumulate more popularity.

With the help of this program, they have all become popular again and have become some of the most popular celebrity artists recently. Their net worth has increased to a higher level, and their income is much higher than when they were at their peak more than ten or twenty years ago.

So, everyone is working hard.

"Jiang Chen, the performance just now was very exciting!"

Yuan Caiyi said to Jiang Chen seriously: "I am looking forward to your subsequent performances."

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "I saw Jiang Chen play the piano in Beijing. I thought you might have regressed since you haven't played the piano for so long, but I didn't expect you to make such a big step forward. I really envy your talent!"

Zhou Ming was speaking from his heart. He was extremely envious of Jiang Chen's amazing musical talent.

After not touching the piano for such a long time, he suddenly became a top master pianist. Who can bear this?

Moreover, he wrote such a beautiful piano piece himself...

His talent in playing musical instruments and his talent in composition are both absolutely top-notch. Zhou Ming thinks that Jiang Chen's development in poetry and calligraphy has delayed the realization of his musical talent, which is a bit of a waste. If this musical talent is given to him or other singers and musicians, it will definitely be even more amazing.

Jiang Chen smiled at the two of them and said, "Thank you. I look forward to your wonderful performance."

Jiang Chen was very polite to the two of them, and being polite meant keeping a distance.

Zhou Ming nodded: "Okay, have a good rest!"

Yuan Caiyi looked at Jiang Chen and nodded, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. She wanted to win, not to stay on the stage to accumulate popularity and make a lot of money, but to compete with Jiang Chen on the same stage.

……

Back in the backstage lounge, Jiang Chen just walked in, Ye Lan and Chen Xun came over to say hello.

Ye Lan: "The piano performance was wonderful."

Chen Xun: "Jiang Chen, you are definitely qualified to hold a world tour. If you want, I can help you!"

Chen Xun is a top student who graduated from a top music school in Europe, so he knows some of the top music masters in Europe. After listening to Jiang Chen's piano performance, he sincerely felt that Jiang Chen's piano performance and creative ability should not be buried. China has not produced a world-class piano master in all these years.

If Jiang Chen has the opportunity to become a world-class piano master, he will definitely help Jiang Chen as much as possible, so as to enhance the strength of the entire Chinese classical music field in the world.

You have to know that the best music conservatory in China, the Central Conservatory of Music, is only ranked around 50th in the world, sometimes 70th or 80th, barely making it into the top 100 prestigious schools.

However, there is only one music school in China that ranks among the top 100 schools in the world.

Therefore, China is also called a music desert area by some European and American musicians!
China has not produced any top world-class music masters over the years. Occasionally, there are a few piano masters who have toured the world, and they also went from the Central Conservatory of Music to top foreign universities for further studies, and there is a clear gap between them and the top international masters.

And now, Jiang Chen has the opportunity to become a world-class master.

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly at Chen Xun: "Thank you, but no thanks, it's fine to let everything take its course, there's no need to force it."

Chen Xun was somewhat helpless about Jiang Chen's calmness and said, "You are burying your musical talent. China needs musical geniuses like you to make the voice of our Chinese music heard in the world."

Ye Lan also said: "If you focus on developing music, your achievements will definitely not be worse than your achievements in calligraphy and poetry, and may even be higher. Because no matter how good your calligraphy and poetry are, they will not be recognized internationally because they cannot understand them. This is our Chinese cultural heritage."

"But they understand your music. If your music can be recognized internationally, your achievements and status will be far greater than they are now!"

Ye Lan also hopes that Jiang Chen will not waste and bury his musical talent.

Jiang Chen nodded to the two of them: "Thank you for your suggestions, I will consider it!"

After saying that, Jiang Chen stopped talking to the two of them. He sat on the sofa, took out a book and started reading.

Chen Xun and Ye Lan stretched their necks slightly to take a look at the same time, curious about what book Jiang Chen was reading. When they saw the three words "Tao Te Ching" on it, they were suddenly speechless, with helplessness and a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

Han Qing, Yan Ruyu and others were no longer surprised by this. In recent days, Jiang Chen began to become curious about these traditional cultural books.

I bought quite a few books on this subject, including Tao Te Ching, I Ching, Huangting, etc.

They didn't ask much, just thought that Jiang Chen was starting to cultivate himself, so he read books on this subject.

And they don't know.

Jiang Chen won a skill in Traditional Chinese Medicine a few days ago, and also inherited the authentic Tai Chi, so he began to study and research these traditional cultural heritages.

after all……

After learning about Chinese medicine, will I be able to maintain better health soon and live longer in the future?
Jiang Chen still hopes to live a long life and die without any illness.

At this time, the performance on the stage has already begun.

Zhou Ming was the first to perform, and he sang one of his old classic songs.

Fortunately, he was a superstar singer in the past and had released enough works that have been passed down to this day, and many of his classic songs are remembered by many people. Otherwise, he would not be able to perform so many shows, and if he had to sing other people's songs, he would feel embarrassed.

Zhou Ming’s performance was as stable as ever, his superb singing skills were absolutely impeccable, and coupled with the live effect, the audience gave him warm applause.

then……

The audience immediately began voting.

There are three hundred audience members who are eligible to vote. They have a voting machine in their hands and just need to press it. If they don’t agree, they can just give up.

The host Wang He said loudly: "Thank you Mr. Zhou for the wonderful performance. Now let's take a look at the number of votes from the audience!"

The voting numbers on the big screen jumped rapidly.

It finally stopped at one hundred and seventy votes.

Zhou Ming's smile was a little awkward.

Because, he still had more than 220 tickets for his last performance!

This time it dropped by more than fifty votes.

However, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his performance!
Wang He's expression froze for a moment, and he said, "Okay, Teacher Zhou got 170 votes! Teacher Zhou can take a rest first, and we will synchronize the off-site voting later."

Zhou Ming waved to all the audience and left the stage.

Yuan Caiyi, who was waiting for the second performance backstage, became a little nervous. She didn't expect that Zhou Ming's live votes would drop so drastically.

Guo Haitao, who was backstage at the program, also looked very embarrassed at this time.

Because real-time ratings data has been transmitted.

When Zhou Ming was performing just now, the ratings dropped drastically from Jiang Chen's 3.8 to 2.5, and are still slowly declining!
In addition, Zhou Ming’s votes were not high, so Guo Haitao wondered if Zhou Ming’s performance was a failure?

However, after a brief recollection, he found that there was nothing wrong with Zhou Ming's performance, it was no worse than the last time, his condition was even better, and there was nothing wrong with his song selection.

So why is this happening?

Guo Haitao looked at the second performance with doubts.

Yuan Caiyi is called the Blue Diva by many fans because she likes to wear blue skirts and has top-notch singing skills.

Yuan Caiyi's performance was also extremely wonderful. She did not sing one of her own classic songs, but adapted a classic song from 20 years ago. She rearranged the music and added her own understanding. It was extremely wonderful, definitely better than her last performance.

but……

In the end, the number of votes from the live audience was only 190, only 20 more than Zhou Ming.

You know, Yuan Caiyi's performance last time was obviously not as good as today. She got more than 230 votes and ranked fourth at the time, only slightly weaker than Chen Xun, Kailin and Axl.

But now, Yuan Caiyi's more exciting performance only received 190 votes...

At the same time, Guo Haitao also found that the ratings were still slowly declining and had dropped to 2.4.

The number of people watching the live video was only about 4 million, a sharp drop from the 13 million just now...

Seeing the barrage of comments all over the screen, all of them urged Jiang Chen to come on stage quickly...

Guo Haitao suddenly understood something and was speechless.
