Chapter 106 What is Fu Tiao (tactical retreat) (1w)

The music ends, and the last sound completely disappears from the air, carrying endless charm.

Fu Tiao removed his hands from the piano and looked at the piano reflecting the light from the roof in front of him. For a moment, he felt a little dazed.

He didn't know whether he was on a ship or in a concert hall.

Both are so shining that people can't take their eyes away.

And he, too, shines brightly.

Even though the strength of the person in front of him exploded, almost covering up his light, his shine was still unstoppable.

After Fu Diao took a deep breath, he shook his head vigorously to regain his consciousness.

Only then did the noise in the concert hall reach his ears.

"Bravo!"

"Bravo!"

"Bravo!"

The people under the stage were applauding vigorously and shouting "Bravo" loudly, just like Zhao Chengzhen did before.

He used his own strength to prove that he is worthy of this stage. On this stage, he is a player who can confront Zhao Chengzhen head-on.

This is not Zhao Chengzhen’s stage alone.

Here, is the Chopin International Piano Competition!

Fu Diao struggled to get up and bowed slightly to the crowd, who cheered louder.

When Fu Tiao was about to bow again, he didn't know whether it was because he raised his body too fast. He felt that the blood supply to his brain was insufficient, so he could only smile and wave to everyone without taking any notes.

He left the stage and returned to his position backstage.

It's still the same position as before, with the same reporters and staff.

Only this time, there was no one else behind him, and he was already the last person in the morning half.

Two familiar figures stood in front of him, and a camera was pointed at him, trying to capture everything about him.

Wang Kai held the camera in his hand, looked at Fu Diao with a smile, nodded slightly to him, and handed out the microphone.

"Congratulations, Fu Tiao. Your performance in the second round of the competition is still very good. But according to my personal opinion, your performance is almost the same as Zhao Chengzhen's performance before. You are the most powerful ones I have ever seen."

One of the players, if I go by my personal preferences, I think... there is no other player, very powerful, really great!"

"Thank you?" Fu Diao looked at Wang Kai and smiled helplessly, rubbed his heart, and said feebly: "Is it still the same interview as before? Are the topics still the same?"

"Ah, of course not." Wang Kai immediately shook his head, pointed to the small room next to him and asked Fu Diao.

"Can we go in first? Fu Tiao, relax a little. We are just asking casually. Don't be too nervous. Don't worry. We won't ask you some personal questions, such as whether you have a partner or not."

After that, he opened the door to the personal preparation room at the back of the concert hall.

Since there was no next contestant behind him and other staff members had already come on stage to clear up the stage to prepare for the second half, Wang Kai pushed away the preparation room and no one else said anything.

Fu Tiao looked at the open preparation room, thought for a moment, felt a little tired, and walked directly in.

The two of them entered the preparation room, found a random seat and sat down. The door was closed, and the noise in the concert hall completely disappeared from the room.

The extremely peaceful room soothed Fu Tiao's mood.

Wang Kai placed the microphone between the two of them, leaned forward slightly, smiled casually, and asked.

"How does it feel? Let's chat casually. How does it feel in the second round? Is it okay?"

"The second round..." Fu Diao rubbed his hands and smiled as well.

"I feel okay, but I'm not sure about the results."

"Oh? Is there no way to determine the score for such a good performance just now?"

"Well, yes, there is no way to be sure..." Fu Diao spread his hands helplessly: "After all, I didn't break through my limit, I just got closer to my limit, making my performance more perfect, but Zhao Chengzhen broke through his

limit."

Wang Kai immediately laughed: "Then I can understand that Zhao Chengzhen's breakthrough limit is about the same level as yours? Is that what you mean?"

"Hmm... doesn't it count? This is too arrogant, but the meaning seems to be the same?" Fu Diao waved his hand, "Actually, what I mean is that there is not much difference in strength between me and Zhao Chengzhen, although I was in the end

During the interview, I broke the emotion that Zhao Chengzhen had left on the stage, but the difference in strength between the two is not big. If we were to give points, the difference in scores between me and Zhao Chengzhen might not be much, maybe a few tenths?"

"Oh? Have you already estimated your scores? So you think you will definitely make it to the third round?"

"certainly."

Fu Tiao's body felt a little relaxed.

The performance just now cost him a lot of energy, and now he is too lazy to think about the impact of talking to Wang Kai.

For him, the most important thing is freedom.

Now it is obvious that this interview speech will not have any impact on his freedom. If this is the case, let's just say it.

"Among all the players today, apart from me and Zhao Chengzhen, the best performers were Michelle and Luigi. If I couldn't make it to the third round, then Zhao Chengzhen might just be in the third round.

They are still on the edge. As for Michel and Luigi, they should be eliminated directly, right? After all, they are not as good at playing as me and Zhao Chengzhen."

"I will show this paragraph to Michelle and Luigi later, and tell them that you, Fu Diao, look down on them." Wang Kai made a joke to Fu Diao, and then became serious again.

"Fu Tiao, now that the competition has gone through two rounds, I want to ask you again, do you have any new views on Chopin now? And do you still have the same attitude towards your own music as before?"

"Well, it's still the same attitude as before."

Fu Tiao's expression didn't change at all, and he nodded slightly.

"It's still the same three words, sea, freedom, and peace of mind. Although my understanding of Chopin is a little deeper, it has not yet reached a qualitative change. After all, look at me now... I have tried so hard to play, but I can't successfully break through.

, I had an epiphany, I exploded, and I could only play to my limit, which was really a bit miserable.”

"How miserable are you? If you weren't miserable, you would have beaten Zhao Chengzhen to pieces! Zhao Chengzhen will have to start doubting his professionalism! My interview was later seen by Zhao Chengzhen. Do you think he will be anxious?"

"Haha, probably not. After all, he might treat it as trash talk before the game, ahem..."

Fu laughed twice, then got a little choked and coughed uncontrollably.

"Sorry, I played too hard and now I feel uncomfortable every time I take a break."

"Ah? Sorry, sorry, I didn't think well! I forgot that you just played for more than forty minutes."

Wang Kai immediately raised his hand to apologize, and then took out his interview notes from his pocket. After looking at the contents and thinking for a while, he spoke to Fu Diao again.

"Forget it, I originally had some questions to ask you, but I see that you seem a little tired now. It seems that the performance just now must have consumed a lot of energy on you, so you go back to rest first and wait for the news about the third round.

After we come out, we will do an exclusive interview before the competition. Remember not to refuse me then. If the task cannot be completed, I will be in trouble."

"OK."

Fu Diao nodded and was about to stand up to see Wang Kai off. However, because he had just finished playing a piece of more than forty minutes, his legs were a little numb for a while. When he was about to stand up, he almost fell down and could only point in the direction of the door.

"Well, my performance consumes more power than I imagined, so I won't give it to you."

"Okay, you have a good rest, I'm waiting for your final interview!"

Wang Kai smiled at Fu Diao, walked to him, patted his shoulder, and waved away.

Fu Diao looked at Wang Kai's leaving figure and couldn't help but shake his head. When he was about to get up and move his body, he found that his body was like an old machine that had not been lubricated, and he always felt that he could not work hard.

His perspective suddenly spotted a banana peel placed in the trash can in the preparation room. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

He understood why he was so tired.

The reason is simple, he didn't eat, he hadn't eaten since last night, and he didn't eat anything before the game.

He seemed to have just drank two cups of coffee on an empty stomach, and then he and Zhao Chengzhen began to work hard. During the game, he kept forcing his brain to work quickly, thinking about the expression of music, and controlling every ounce of power in his body.

There was nothing much going on during the competition. After all, all I could think about was defeating Zhao Chengzhen.

Now that the game is over and I have regained my breath, I feel miserable now. I have no strength all over my body and my head still hurts. I wish I could go out and have a good meal and die in a pile of food.

"It's broken. If I had known before, I would have gone into this preparation room and picked up some bananas for cushioning when I played. Even if there were no bananas, I should have asked Wang Kai to give me something to eat..." Fu Diao sighed sadly and sat down again.

on the chair.

After resting on the chair for a while, he felt a trace of strength squeezing out of his body, then stood up again and walked unsteadily outside the concert hall.

Most of the staff outside the concert hall had evacuated at some point, and the remaining people were adjusting the piano on the stage and sorting out the afternoon's content.

No one noticed Fu Diao, and no one could prepare anything for Fu Diao.

Fu Tiao had no choice but to open the backstage door, walk out of the backstage, and prepare to go to the concert hall to see if he could meet anyone he knew.

As a result, not long after he left the house, or even just opened the backstage door, a familiar voice came to Fu Diao's ears.

Bang bang bang...

"Bravo!"

While applauding, Zhao Chengzhen walked towards Fu Diao and looked up at Fu Diao, who was much taller than herself, with a very serious expression.

"Fu Tiao, your music is great! It's really good! You also deserve a Bravo! This is my reward for you."
