"OMG..."

Inside the restaurant.

Gina's eyes widened and she looked at Lang Lang across from her... This time, she was no longer pure.

Originally, only Lang Lang's shadow was reflected in the pupils, but now a man named Xu and a man named Zhou squeezed in.

"Yes, these are his original words: Thank you to the fans who buy genuine copies for supporting me. Those fans who buy pirated copies, I don't blame them, but I am honored that I can be their youth. This is JAY's message to all his fans

Cognition. How about it? Isn’t it very poetic?”

"Uh-huh!"

Gina, who was instantly conquered by JAY's big heart and attitude towards his fans, nodded vigorously, took out her mobile phone, opened iTunes, and started searching for his songs.

She is too curious.

I’m curious about what kind of songs a singer who can say this and treat every fan equally can create.

Then after searching for JAY's name and looking at the unfamiliar Chinese characters, she almost didn't think about it and added them all to the playlist... Then she discovered one thing...

Why so many?

But it doesn't matter, she suddenly became very interested in JAY.

While adding, she asked curiously:

"What about Xu? What is his attitude towards movie fans who pay for movie tickets and those who don't? Is this the same?"

"That's not true."

Lang Lang shook his head:

"He doesn't care."

"...Don't care? Don't you care about the movie fans?"

"Well……"

This is actually a bit difficult to answer.

But Lang Lang felt that it was still necessary to say it.

So, he nodded:

"right."

"???"

Looking at Gina's confused eyes, Lang Lang said in a very calm voice:

"Actually, Xu has never expressed anything about this. Whether the fans support it, good or bad reviews, or how much money he made... He actually never said it. Didn't we just say it, Xu

His family conditions are also very good. In fact, among the four of us, he ranks second."

"Uh-huh."

"When he made a certain movie, we talked about what was good and what was bad. After we mentioned it, he rarely argued with us, like some other directors who might say: You think it's not good because of you.

I didn't understand... but he didn't. He wouldn't express any opinions after hearing what we thought was bad. At most, he would say: I understand.

Basically I can't express my opinions.

And what I say about not caring is actually what we think is the most amazing thing about Xu. He is rarely swayed by outside opinions, because he has understood a truth very early, that is, any kind of art, film, painting, music...

...Not everyone can satisfy everyone. So he is very focused, even selfish, and only focuses on what he knows.

Whatever he is interested in, he focuses on something... He has a saying that I think can be particularly summarized in art career, which is: you only need to move towards your goal, and on the way, the achievements you achieve,

Don’t care whether you are liked or disliked by many people. Because that is just the scenery as you move forward.

In fact, we have all heard different versions of this saying, but...he is the only person I have ever met who is the most determined. Once you get familiar with it, you will understand that he is a very, very pure guy. Pure and rich.

Extreme talent and talent will not be influenced by any external force.

It sounds a bit extreme, but he has a very clear mind. From an artistic point of view, he is actually very similar to Berlioz, but in fact you will find that compared to Berlioz's arrogance, his mind is calmer.

.You know, we once had a conversation about classical music.

I said that classical music is actually very difficult now, because fewer and fewer people can feel this kind of beauty. The same is true for opera, and the same is true for piano. I said that I want to make some changes, such as in the immortal music of Bach, Liszt, and Beethoven.

Incorporate modern elements into masterpieces so that more people can adopt this change, such as guitar? or even electronic music...

You know, JAY is a genius. His song style is also a fusion of classical and modern. My proposal was greatly recognized by him. And... you can actually understand after listening to his songs that he has great skills in this aspect.

His attainments can be called a master. But just when we had already agreed to release an ensemble album, Xu stopped the matter."

"Why?"

Gina couldn't help but ask.

Because...his proposal was also a good thing in her opinion.

Classical music is indeed in decline.

You know, although it is called classical music now, in the era when these immortal chapters appeared, they were synonymous with popularity.

If someone can combine the two and find a way to revive classical music, then his name will shine forever in the history of human art.

This is obviously a good thing.

"Because Xu told me: You are not old enough."

"...?"

Under Gina's doubtful eyes, Lang Lang shook his head slightly:

"He said: All your achievements now are given by the piano. In other words, they are given by the "old-fashioned" fans who have not yet realized that music is music, and that there is no difference between its elegance and popularity.

They feel that my playing and the music I listen to are all elegant, and are different from the more entertaining pop songs nowadays.

Classical music, in the West, regardless of those who really love these music, actually plays a role in identity recognition and class distinction. And it is precisely this part that is not classical music itself, but in Europe, America or

He said that the side effect that has been deeply rooted in the world for thousands of years has given me, and even many pianists, the transcendent identity of "artists"... Note that he did not say it absolutely, nor did he start from classical music itself, but from...

"

"I know."

Gina nodded slightly:

"I understand what Xu means. Indeed, there is a very clear line between classical music and modern music in the hearts of those conservative people."

"Well, it's good that you understand. What he means is: I can't take the piano as my rice bowl and turn around and head towards a direction that is deviant in the eyes of these people."

The two of them were sitting by the window.

It's sunny in Berlin today.

At this moment, there is already a tendency to sprinkle towards the window.

Just a little bit.

Gina narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the senior brother opposite, and asked:

"Is this why he called it quits?"

"Yes. That's why I said he always has a calm mind. Because... he understands how to carve out his own path while adapting to this era. Just like he said to me: You

What you need to do now is not to rush to express your different views on classical music from those around you. Instead, you should continue to stand on this high platform and let them push you to higher places.

The higher you are, the more authoritative you are. When you go from the top three in the world to the well-deserved number one in the world. When your remarks change from people thinking that you are still young and questionable, to a highly respected artist who uses a far-sighted vision to express your opinions.

Classical music and modern music merge together. When those who pushed you to the top have grown old and died. The new generation of people regard you as the true God and have no doubt about the authority of your words. That is when

The moment you can turn the tide."

"..."

In Gina's silence, Lang Lang spread his hands:

"I asked him how long it would take. He told me: at least ten to fifteen years. Only then will you be truly safe."

A period of time.

The girl had gone from slightly squinting her eyes and looking at the man across from her in the sunlight to a look with her mouth slightly open and a look of shock...or should I say frightened and dumbfounded.

this person……???

Is there anything wrong with what Long said?

No.

Is it shocking?

nor.

It's just a kind of... words similar to plans and expectations for the future.

But for some reason, Gina suddenly felt a little cold.

He was obviously not afraid, but the chill came from nowhere.

That's due to instinctive fear.

It was like in a dark forest, a tree had broken away from the soil and climbed onto a high-altitude branch called "Classical Music". Just when it thought it was close to the sky and felt happy, it was unexpectedly hit by a ray dropped from the sky.

When the light shines...

Facing the light under the absolute height, and the fear generated by the gaze of the huge thing that casts the light.

what is that?

Why is it so high?

have no idea.
