Chapter 132 The radio station is causing trouble? It’s good to cause trouble!

Host Sun Mei quickly introduced the identities of Chen Gang and Pei Qi, and then said with a smile.

"The Chopin International Piano Competition is a top international event held every five years. All the registered players are the top players in the world. Not only have they won awards from major competitions around the world, many of them have even become conservatories of music.

The professors and lecturers inside, because only in this way can they have the right to register for the Chopin International Piano Competition.

From thousands of registered contestants from all over the world, one hundred and sixty contestants were selected through the selection of the jury. These one hundred and sixty contestants are the young people with the strongest ability to play Chopin in the world today.

People, and these 160 people are not the final contestants. These are just the participants in the global qualifiers of the Chopin International Piano Competition, and they still cannot be counted as the main competition.

And when they enter the first round of the main competition, half of these top performers will be eliminated from the 160 people, leaving only 80 people to advance. In the second round of the main competition, there will be 40 people.

, by the third round of the main competition, there were only twenty people. Now, the competition has entered the end, which is the final of the Chopin International Piano Competition. From nearly a thousand players around the world, to the last ten people, these ten

Everyone is the pinnacle among young piano players.

Among these people, there is my country's Fu Diao player. He is not only a successful finalist, but also a strong contender for the current Chopin International Piano Competition championship. Today, let us accompany more than a hundred countries around the world. Nearly ten million spectators enjoy the grand occasion of this final!"

After saying that, she passed her eyes to Pei Qi beside her. Pei Qi nodded slightly and said with an extremely upright attitude: "Yes, just as Teacher Sun Mei said just now, our country's player Fu transferred to the pre-selection

Seventy-fourth in the competition, third in the first round, second in the second round, and first in the third round. From a position that was not expected to win the championship, he gradually became a contender for the championship of the Chopin International Piano Competition. According to us

According to the information obtained, compared to other players, player Fu Diao’s support rate on the Internet is far higher than that of player Zhao Chengzhen, who was previously ranked first and is currently second.”

Chen Gang immediately added: "Yes, but I must remind you that although our country's player Fu Tiao is currently ranked first in the Chopin International Piano Competition, we still cannot underestimate other players, such as the one who is currently ranked second.

Contestant Zhao Chengzhen, the total score difference between him and Fu Diao is only 0.01 points. His results in the first three rounds of the Chopin International Piano Competition were first, first and fourth. This is still not an easy opponent to defeat.

The player who is currently ranked third, Hamelin, is about 0.5 points behind Zhao Chengzhen in total score. Although the gap between the two is larger than that of Fu Tiao and Zhao Chengzhen, this result is still not a low score. He is also a Chopin International Pianist.

The champion player of the competition.

As for the current fourth player, Kate Liu, a Chinese-American from the beautiful country, she climbed up step by step from the middle position in the first round. In the third round, she even surpassed Zhao Chengzhen and won the competition.

Zhao Chengzhen's higher grades.

All this means that even if it reaches the final stage of the Chopin International Piano Competition, it will still not be a very easy task. The competition may change at any time. As long as the players in the front have even a slight defeat, the players behind will be

Catch up and win the championship position in the Chopin International Piano Competition!"

"Yes, so even though our player Fu Tiao is currently ranked as the first candidate for the championship, we still can't take it lightly. After all, it is already the final stage, and the final winner will be selected from thousands of registration qualifications around the world.

Among the ten people, even if they may perform abnormally, they will definitely not have any mediocrity, because their strength is all there, whether it is Zhao Chengzhen who is currently second, or Xiaolin Ai who is the last

Reality."

With just a few words, everyone simply announced the situation of the finals of the Chopin International Piano Competition to everyone.

It not only reflects the strength of Fu's tunes, but also demonstrates the cruelty of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

It is not easy for Fu Tiao to stand out from so many contestants.

Seeing that everyone was chatting a lot and was about to run out of topics to talk about, Sun Mei immediately took over the conversation and turned the topic to the Chopin International Piano Competition itself.

"Thanks to the two teachers for sharing. Even if we have not listened to the Chopin International Piano Competition in full, we can feel the cruelty of the competition from the mouths of the two teachers. Okay, now let us transfer the lens to overseas and take a look at the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Interview at the finals of the competition, let’s hear the highlights of today’s Chopin International Piano Competition.”

After that, the screen switched, along with the aerial view of Warsaw, a voice-over briefly introduced the Chopin International Piano Competition, and then cut directly to a man with curly hair and a slender hooked nose who looked like an artist, Jacek.

Jacek Kaspszyk appeared in front of the camera.

Jacek's message is also attached to the side of the screen.

Artistic Director and Conductor of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, Poland.

Jacek was leaning on the sofa chair, tapping his legs. There were two music books beside him. It was obvious that one was the Piano Concerto No. 1 and the other was the Piano Concerto No. 2.

Facing the camera, he looked calm, put his hands casually on his knees, smiled gently at the camera, and spoke casually in English.

"Good evening everyone, although it is not completely dark in Warsaw yet, I am already looking forward to the finals tonight with you. I was very pleasantly surprised by the communication between the contestants and me during the rehearsal process. I can obviously feel it.

To the new generation of pianists, their musical vitality and power! This kind of power is enough to make the older generation of performers envious.

This year's competition is still the same as in the past. There are still only two works we can choose, Chopin's first and second piano concertos, and the majority of contestants choose Chopin's first piano concerto.

Among these players, I am personally most surprised by Fu. Unlike other players, there is a unique feeling in his music, and he is the only one who can play that feeling.

It's like his soul should belong there! I won't say more about the specific feeling, because if I say too much, I will lose the surprise.

Among the other players, the most stable player is Zhao Chengzhen. When you play with him, you will feel a sense of inner peace and stability. I believe that you will not be disappointed when you hear Zhao Chengzhen's performance."

"As for the other player, Hamelin, my personal evaluation of him is, perfect..."

He looked calm and looked at each player from the perspective of his command, evaluating the status of these players on his side. However, for the sake of ratings, he did not say anything bad, but just gave many people a sense of expectation.

I feel itchy deep inside my heart, as if there are insects crawling around, and I wish I could see the details of the game now.

But at the end, he still said to everyone: "But compared with these, I hope that the players or the audience can pay more attention to the relationship between players and Chopin, players and music, and Chopin and music, because what we have to do after all is

It's music, and what we listen to should also be music, not just Chopin. Perhaps we should pay more attention to all of this and think more about it. These are what we as musicians should do."

After that, the screen cut out, Pei Qi thought deeply and nodded slowly: "As Jacek said, the connection between players and music is what we should do. If we pay too much attention to the outside, maybe

It's easy for us to fall into a strange place."

"But what Jacek said may not be correct. After all, it all depends on the person." Chen Gang shook his head slightly: "He only officially became the artistic director of the Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra in 2013, so he officially controls Warsaw.

The National Philharmonic Orchestra actually only lasts for two years, plus there are some adjustments, and this is his first time conducting the Chopin International Piano Competition, so I still have reservations about his words."

"But according to what he said, he is actually on the side of musicality? If so, this may be the theme of this year's Chopin International Piano Competition? And our player Fu Diao is good at musicality."

"After all, he is still a part of the music. He only has the right to nominate the best piano concerto in the finals and does not have the right to vote, so I think what he said is of little use."

The two of them have different identities, ages, and different perspectives on problems, so they chatted for a long time without talking together. In the end, they gave up trying to convince each other. After all, there is no competition yet, and no one knows what the specific situation is.

Condition.

The two chatted for a long time without coming to a conclusion. The host was a little helpless, but after looking at the hints of the staff on the side, she immediately said: "Compared with the conductor's evaluation, I am actually more curious about all the contestants' comments before the competition.

Let’s switch the screen to player interviews and see what the players have to say.”

The screen switched again, and images of Zhao Chengzhen and Fu Tiao appeared.

Perhaps in order to show the competition between the two, the signal from Poland also specially divided the rhythm of the two people's speech.

The screen turned black and a line of text appeared.

[What are your thoughts on Chopin you played]

Zhao Chengzhen came from outside the screen, sat on a chair, and asked the camera if he wanted to start. After receiving a positive answer, he smiled and said:

"There are many details in Chopin's music. As I think and reflect again and again, I find more and more details in the music. This is very interesting. It is like a treasure hunt. The more you get, the more details you find.

The deeper you dig, the deeper your understanding of Chopin will be. I like this feeling very much, especially under the pressure of my opponents, forcing me to keep moving forward. If I talk about myself without Chopin, it is very likely that

What’s playing is not Chopin, but something else.”

Fu Tiao's expression was relatively indifferent. He sat in a dark room and said to the screen: "Chopin is just a tool for me to express my music. I will constantly think about and understand Chopin and art."

But it is absolutely impossible for me to regard Chopin as everything in my music, because my music ultimately tells everything about me, not everything about Chopin. I will not be Chopin, and I cannot

By becoming Chopin, I will only become myself."

Later, there were speeches from Croatia and Kobayashi Aimi, but they were not broadcast in China. As soon as they finished speaking, the studio almost stopped laughing.

One white and one black, one smiling and one cold, completely opposite.

Chen Gang: "Sure enough, the Polish side also knows how to make trouble. They put together the conversations between two players with completely different styles but similar levels. One just said that he wanted to stick to Chopin, and the other said that he wanted to express himself. These two people really

."

"That's what makes it interesting. If you and I don't have any smell of gunpowder, what's the point?" Pei Qi also smiled, which was completely different from the serious look before.

It seems that he really appreciates the confrontation between Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen.

【What do you want to say about the future】

Zhao Chengzhen: "I am honored to be able to enter the finals. After all, I have never been able to stand on such a high stage and win a sufficient award. I hope that the Chopin International Piano Competition can become the starting point of my future career."

Fu Diao: "The Chopin International Piano Competition is just a starting point. Becoming a professional musician is the most difficult part. Music is not only Chopin, but also other classical music artists, as well as other styles, such as jazz, pop, etc.

I will not limit myself to one style, I will look forward to the fusion of more styles."

Pei Qi and Chen Gang clicked their tongue twice, obviously not expecting that the two people actually expressed the same meaning.

The Chopin International Piano Competition is just the beginning, not the end.

I just don’t know what the organizing committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition is thinking. Does it feel a bit shameful that I have become a stepping stone for these two people?

But watching them play it out, there should be no problem. They probably agree with the speeches of these two people, right?

【What do you think of other players】

Zhao Chengzhen: "To put it simply, I actually still like Fu Diao's performance, but I just like it. I don't have any problems when I usually listen to it. But if you really prepare to perform, I don't recommend learning Fu Diao."

His music is very special and not suitable for everyone, so I just like it rather than recommend it. If I recommend it, I would be more inclined to Hamelin."

Fu Tiao: "I feel that Zhao Chengzhen's performance has lost his self-consciousness a bit. The simple fusion of Chopin makes it difficult for me to hear his own existence. However, in the third round, Zhao Chengzhen's music suddenly made me realize something.

, the extremely pure Chopin may be his own style, he is that pure, like transparent glass, what you put in will show out, and you will not notice his existence! If you are learning Chopin, I

Personally, I highly recommend his version, but I don’t like it.”
