Fu Tiao, Onessorg, and Miller came to the backstage of the concert hall.

Miller and Fu Diao walked from the small door on the side to the side of the front desk of the concert hall, where someone had prepared their seats for them in advance so that they would not have no place to sit.

.

There were not many acquaintances sitting around, but everyone seemed particularly excited that Fu Diao could be by their side. From time to time, someone would pat Fu Diao on the shoulder or back, asking for a handshake or encouragement.

As for Onesog, he walked from the backstage to the stage.

The spotlight above his head shone directly on him, making him particularly dazzling.

Everyone in the concert hall also gave their applause at this time, thanking Honesog for everything he has done for the Ruhr Piano Festival, and looking forward to the explanation at the closing ceremony of the festival.

Under the gaze and applause of everyone, Onesog smiled at everyone, picked up the paper in his hand and said with a smile.

"We meet again, everyone here, I think maybe many of you are a little tired of me, right? I always start the opening of every concert, but this time, I think you are tired of me.

, there is no way for me to get out, because... I am going to announce the position of this year's Rookie of the Year!"

There was a burst of laughter under the stage, but everyone's mood was different.

The vast majority of passers-by only treat Onesog as a joke. After all, they have no idea who this year's best player is.

But those who had already known the inside story, those who were more inclined to the Acadi side, smiled helplessly.

Arkadi's defeat is also a blow to them.

Fu Tiao's supporters are full of expectations.

Waiting for Fu Tiao's name to be pronounced.

Under the gaze of everyone with different emotions, Onesog did not keep tempting everyone's attention by not telling who this year's best person was. On the contrary, he said it very cheerfully.

He opened the letter in his hand and spoke to everyone.

"In 2016, the award for the best newcomer of the year at the Ruhr Piano Festival will be given to..."

"Dio Fu!"

Wow!

Applause roared instantly. Amidst the applause of the crowd, Fu Tiao stood up and bowed slightly to the people around him. The smile on his face could not be suppressed at all.

The people around him also pulled Fu Diao and extended their most sincere blessings.

"Dior! Awesome!"

"Awesome, Fu, congratulations!"

"Fu, I've known for a long time that you will definitely win the championship this year!"

"The Ruhr Piano Festival award is really shocking, Fu!"

"Fu! Fu! Fu!"

"..."

Dense voices echoed around Fu Diao, making it difficult for Fu Diao to hear what everyone was talking about.

He could only bow slightly to everyone helplessly, thanked everyone for their support, and returned to his position amidst everyone's applause.

Onesog looked at Fu Diao off the stage, raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled helplessly at everyone, and asked.

"Um... you've finished applauding, can I continue?"

With the laughter of everyone, he shook his head, picked up the document in his hand and continued: "Every year, the Ruhr Piano Festival honors artists whose life works are closely related to the Ruhr Piano Festival, and then invites the scholarship winners to participate in the second competition.

His or her recital will be held every year. Through this year's evaluation, we will award Dior Fu the position of this year's Best Newcomer of the Year. This is the first time we welcome him, but I believe it will not be the last time we welcome him.

For all of us, Fu's first appearance was the most novel and shocking experience of classical music. He showed us all his understanding and thinking about classical music, which represents young people.

The way of thinking is also the thinking logic that represents the future direction of classical music. This is a direction worth thinking about for all of us classical music performers.

That is... what exactly is classical music, and what direction should the future of classical music develop in.

Thank you Dior Fu for giving us such a perfect opportunity to rethink our music. Dior being able to give us such an opportunity is not only an honor for him, but also an honor for all of us classical music practitioners!"

Wow!

The applause rang out again, and Fu Diao stood up helplessly and thanked Onesog and others for their praise again.

Under the applause, Onesog coughed twice, and after letting the applause subside for a moment, he continued to speak to everyone.

"Under such performances, Dior Fu was not satisfied with his own personal improvement, but set his sights as a classical musician on the world. We are particularly grateful to Dior Fu for sharing with us

An initiative in which the Dortmund Concertgebouw collaborates to organize charity concerts to benefit children in war-torn areas around the world.

This is a perfect initiative. We can see that even the younger generation of classical musicians are not indifferent performers. In fact, they are more like artists who are concerned about the world and contribute to the world.

People think.

I am even willing to say that under my eyes, Dior is a pure person, a noble person, a person who has long been out of vulgar taste, just like his music, as broad as the sea,

I would like to call him the ocean pianist! A real top performer!

He has always opened his heart to our era and cared about everything in this era. We are very grateful to him for his many premieres in Germany and even throughout Europe, including this year's European tour and the premiere of the Chopin International Piano Competition in Poland. This is a

It is an unparalleled experience. Even people who don't know Dior Fu can still hear his thoughts on life, life and death, and nature from Fu's music.

Therefore, given that we experienced so many wonderful musical moments during the year, given his loyalty to the Ruhr Piano Festival, and given his friendship with the Ruhr Piano Festival, in July 2016 we awarded him the Ruhr Piano Festival The Piano Festival Award was given to Franz Havel, and it was I who was Onessorg, who presented this award to him."

After Onesog took a deep breath, he looked at Dio who was staring at him off the stage. With a smile on his face, he took two steps forward and extended his hand.

"Dior, come up."

"Thank you."

Fu Tiao stood up and walked out of the small staircase on the side to the cheers of the crowd and walked onto the stage.

The lights on the stage were still very bright, even shining a hint of piano black reflection on his dark suit.

What this reflection showed on Fu Tiao's body was the kind of holy light that was like God.

Fu Tiao him, shining brightly!

Facing the continuous applause, Fu Tiao's face looked a little red because he was shy or because he was illuminated by the spotlight above his head.

He took the microphone handed over by Onesog, nodded to everyone in a somewhat honest manner, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you very much, thank you to the Ruhr Piano Festival Organizing Committee, and..."

"Don't thank me in a hurry. I'll thank you later after I give you the trophy from the Ruhr Piano Festival."

Fu Diao's words were suddenly interrupted. Onesog pushed out a small cart from the side. On the cart stood a black rectangular pillar, about one and two meters high.

Including the cart below, the height is almost 1.4 meters.

On this four-meter pillar, there is a shining golden trophy.

A trophy representing the logo of the Ruhr Piano Festival.

Onesog pushed the car in front of Fu Diao, stretched out his foot and stepped on the fixed lock, stepped back a few steps, and extended his hand to Fu Diao.

"Okay, now it's okay, Fu, take your trophy and say your victory declaration."

"I……"

Fu Diao glanced at the smiling Honesog beside him, smiled helplessly, took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed the Ruhr Piano Festival trophy.

With a display stand of nearly 1.4 meters, Fu Diao could reach the handle of the Ruhr Piano Festival trophy with just a slight stretch of his hand.

He grabbed the trophy and lifted it slightly, and a heavy feeling surged from his palms.

Just as he thought, this trophy is not light, but very weighty.

On top is the logo of the Ruhr Piano Festival, and on the bottom base is the name of Fu Tiao.

Although it is only about 20 centimeters in length, it does not seem to be long, but the weight is not small.

In Fu Diao's hands, he weighed it and felt it weighed about 3 kilograms.

"How do you feel, Fu? How do you feel when you touch the trophy of the Ruhr Piano Festival for the first time?"

Fu Diao weighed the trophy in his hand, looked at Onesog not far away, couldn't help laughing, straightened up and said to him.

"Not bad, very substantial, quite heavy."

Laughter suddenly erupted from the stage.

Onesog laughed as well.

"Haha, it's very heavy. This word is well said. This seems to be the first time I heard a pianist say this word. I remember what those people said before, feeling the feeling of history, glory, or other things.

Vocabulary, and bluntly said that this trophy is heavy, you are the first time I have seen it."

Onesog took two steps back, retreated to the edge of the stage, and waved to Fu Tiao.

"Okay, Fu, now the stage has been completely handed over to you. You can say whatever you want next. Even if the trophy may have been touched and dirty, it's okay. After all, this award completely belongs to you.

"

"OK."

Fu Diao grinned, weighed the trophy in his hand again, looked at the people under the stage, and did not speak immediately.
To be continued...
