Then Jefferson continued: "Have anyone seen the best-selling novel "The Outsider" that is being sold during this period?"

In the video, seven or eight people raised their hands.

Jefferson signaled everyone to put down his hands, and then smiled and said, "Yes. Music and words are actually very similar. I agree very much, and I also believe that in the process of learning music, we should read more literary works to inspire our horizons and broaden our thinking!"

Jefferson signaled to a classmate who had watched "The Outsider" and asked: "This classmate, do you have any thoughts after you have finished watching it?"

The girl pursed her lips and thought about it, and replied: "I think the author of this book is telling us that although life is already difficult and even though you seem to be out of place with your surroundings. But, relax, there are still many such people in the world. What we need is to still love our lives after realizing such a world."

Jefferson raised his thumbs up to the little girl and looked down at a freckled boy.

The boy was a little shy, but he mustered up the courage to say, "Professor, I... like this book very much, and I wrote a song based on this book. Can you be lucky to listen to it?"

Jefferson and everyone present immediately showed a surprise expression.

"Hurry, it's our honor!"

The freckled boy sat in front of the piano and took a deep breath. His fingers, which were not very good-looking, leaping on the black and white keys.

The melodious piano music quickly started to ring here.

Outside the aisle of the classroom, many students walked around.

"A good song? This is Professor Jefferson's class? Has the professor written another good song?"

"This song is really good! It sounds warm and really good!"

"Huh? Isn't the professor playing? The song written by this young man? It's really good!"

"Haha! This is another good seedling!"

The whole piano piece, more than 4 minutes.

But to the audience, it seems like it is just a moment.

Because this song is really nice.

Because it sounds nice, time passes quickly.

It is precisely because of the good music that this video immediately attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was uploaded to the Internet.

"???Wow! This little brother is not very good-looking, but he writes a very good piano piece!"

"Not bad! This looks like a future master!"

"Is this nice music actually inspired by watching "Outsider"?"

"This is good!"

"The book "Outsider" is really good!"

"Wow! This book has this effect!?"

"I think the song "City of Sky" is so much better for the professor!"

Just as netizens in Europe and the United States were talking about it.

The atmosphere in the president's office of the Berkeley Conservatory of Music seemed a little nervous.

"No! I don't agree! When did our college invite Chinese people to come for communication? We have always been invited! This one doesn't work!" A red-haired woman said, slamming the table.

"Ms. Jody, you don't have to be so angry. You have heard Qi Yuan's two piano music. And his achievements in the Chinese music circle can also be checked." Jefferson said earnestly.

Several weeks ago, he mentioned to the principal Merk, saying that he wanted to invite Qi Yuan to the school for music exchanges.

Today, the principal invited several professors from the college to come over.

Because if Qi Yuan was really invited to come, this was indeed the first time at Berkeley School.

So it is better to be cautious.

"I agree with Jody's meaning. There are so many excellent musicians around the world, and I don't know how many of them have gone out of our college. Inviting a Chinese pop music singer to come, to be honest, it's a bit of a price reduction!"

"Isn't there a piano exchange meeting next week? There are still many musicians invited by that time. I think it's enough to send Qi Yuan an invitation letter. His status in the Chinese pop music circle is completely worth an invitation letter."

"I still disagree. After all, the gap between Chinese music and mainstream music in our world is still relatively large. Qi Yuan is very popular in China, but he is equivalent to an amateur on our side. At that time, there are all top musicians in the audience, so what's going on stage?" Professor Jody still felt that the dignity of Berkeley College should be maintained and that everyone should not be invited to come here casually.

At this time.

Principal Merck spoke.

He looked at everyone and said lightly: "I listened to Qi Yuan's song "Five Hundred Miles". If you haven't heard it, I think you can listen to it. This song is very touching, and I think you can invite him over."

Professor Jodi wanted to argue a few more words, but in the end the principal made a plan and decided to invite Qi Yuan to the next week's music exchange meeting.

...

And on Weibo.

Clyde's interview has been reprinted long ago.

The netizens in China were so angry that they were itchy.

"This guy, damn it! He really can't speak! Isn't this just giving "Outsider" a nomination, which is an outrageous reward?"

"This guy means... he is just sending beggars! This is simply disrespectful to our country!"

"This guy just wants to make money from me, but he can't let go of his arrogant face!"

"Actually, everyone doesn't have to care too much about this guy's idea. It's a big deal if he doesn't like it! Look at the current sales data of "Outsider" abroad. Isn't this a hit on "Sun"? What's more, even the author of "Sun" himself stood up and said that "Outsider" is worth a Guli Gold Award!"

"Sales are the best proof! This guy is just here to hold on! We don't have to pay attention to him at all!"

company.

The weekend is waiting for someone to refresh the news on Twitter, especially the news about Clyde's interviews, and I feel so angry that my teeth are itchy.

This matter must be fought back!

The other party relies on his strong voice in Europe and the United States, grasps the local media, and he has no restraint on Qi Yuan!

then.

I contacted the Foreign Languages ​​Press urgently on the weekend and explained the situation.

The other party agreed very happily!

After all, "Outsider" is the best-selling book in the foreign language publishing house at present!

So I really want an interview request on weekends, so they naturally satisfy them!

So soon.

The Foreign Languages ​​Press contacted the Old Capital Daily, a media with good relationship with them. The sales of this daily newspaper in beautiful countries have also been stable in the top ten for a long time.

So, a cross-ocean interview began.

Qi Yuan sat casually in front of the computer, and the bookshelf behind him were all his published books.

On the weekend, Yu Caihong and others sat aside with small stools, all watching curiously the blonde beauty opposite the video and a young translator.

"Hello, Mr. Qi Yuan."

"Hello."

"The production time is relatively tight, so we started it right away!"

"OK."

"Your "Outsider"'s sales in Europe and the United States are rising steadily. Do you have anything to say to readers who like your books?"

Qi Yuan said to the camera: "Thank you very much for your support for "Outsider". I discussed with the Foreign Languages ​​Publishing House. In the past few days, they will send me a batch of books and I will sign them. Then, they will give them to readers who like it."

"Wow! This is such a great benefit!"

"What do you think about the voice on Twitter saying that the book "Outsider" is completely incompatible with the current core mainstream values?"

Qi Yuan said lightly: "I think it is normal for disagreements. Just like our literary works, both sunshine and snowy, and a silly man. Of course, this metaphor may not be so appropriate! What I mean is that when a work is released for everyone to see, the book actually does not belong to me. No matter what everyone thinks, it is all right."

The opposite paused for a while, and it seemed that the translation was not very good at translating the words "Yangchun Baixue Libaren".

Then the translator communicated with Qi Yuan again, and the female reporter opposite him understood a rough idea.

"What do you think about Guli Gold Award Chairman Clyde, saying that it was to open up the Chinese country and that "Outsider" was the matter of re-electing election?"

"I have heard of this. I have always been unafraid of speculating on some so-called superiors with the worst malice. However, I did not expect or believe that some people would be so stupid. As a world-renowned literary award, I had previously admired this award and longed for it, so I submitted "Outsider" to this award. But its current chairman, Mr. Clyde, is destroying this award himself!"

The female reporter nodded and said, "I also feel this way. Previously, authors around the world regarded winning the Guli Gold Award as a supreme honor. But after Mr. Chairman said this, I suddenly felt that this award was not as sacred as I thought. The original intention of its establishment had long disappeared."

This interview was produced overnight by the Old Capital Daily and then published.

Suddenly.

One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves!

A forum of beautiful country.

"Have you seen the interview with Qi Yuan by the Old Capital Daily?"

"I think he made sense. If I were Qi Yuan, I would have spent a lot of effort to write a book. I felt that the Guli Gold Award was very noble, so I submitted a manuscript to it. Later I was shortlisted but didn't win the award. Actually, I was quite satisfied, so I had no objection to the award itself. But after hearing the Chairman's words, I was very disgusted!"

"The Guli Gold Award has lost its authority in the literary world!"

"Chairman Clyde is really a fool! Even for the sake of the Chinese market, it is true! He shouldn't have just said that!"
