In the entire world music scene, the status of the pop world and the classical world is seriously unequal.
Although the former has a wider audience, it is too popular and does not have much learning value for professionals. It is just easy to listen to.
But classical music is completely on the other extreme. It has complex techniques and music theory knowledge, as well as countless modes and playing methods. It has been enthusiastically praised from ancient times to the present.
In ancient times, classical music was music that could only be appreciated by nobles and the court, and it was a type of music that elegant people flocked to and sought after.
At that time, civilians were not qualified or had the opportunity to listen to piano performances.
What civilians can enjoy is only rock, jazz and other music, usually for their own entertainment.
Including modern times, teachers in major universities teach students classical music. They are dismissive of current electronic music, dance music, rock, RNB and other music types. Radicals even treat these
Le Zhong was devalued to the point of being worthless.
But for a real grand pianist, there is no distinction between high and low music, only superiority and inferiority.
However, ordinary people still regard classical music as a god.
So when the great pianist Lin Weiyin came to the One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition for two consecutive days, the contestants who played pop music were extremely excited.
This is a great honor.
Because normally, performance-level grand pianists like Lin Weiyin would basically not interact with people like them.
This kind of pianist can go to various prestigious schools to teach and educate people, and their performance videos will be carefully studied and imitated by thousands of students.
But would anyone seriously learn how to play pop music?
No.
Young and well-known grand pianists such as Lin Weiyin and Gao Feiliu can easily play pop music, and even after listening to it once, they can reach the state of performing without script.
But for well-known online music masters like Platycodon and Ling Lingyao, even if you give them some classical music scores and ask them to sight-read them on the spot, it will be very rare for them to make no mistakes in the end.
It is obviously wishful thinking to want to achieve the performance emotion, skill and height of Lin Weiyin and others.
Therefore, even well-known pianists who make a living in the pop world are in awe when they see well-known pianists in the classical world.
The two sides are not on the same level at all.
unless……
"Unless this person is Uncle A."
Well-known UP host Angry Sunflower, a woman whose real name is Shi Ruoxiang, adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on her face and said calmly: "Don't look, Lin Weiyin is here specifically to enjoy Uncle A's performance, it has nothing to do with us."
As if to verify Shi Ruoxiang's words, Lin Weiyin, who was standing gracefully in the corner with his arms folded, actually walked towards the contestants' bench on his own initiative.
Not far behind her, many staff members were on standby. Apparently the officials also knew that Lin Weiyin's status in the industry was of great importance, so they rushed to send people to protect her.
Seeing Lin Weiyin appear, there was a slight commotion at the scene.
Those who can appear in the concert hall basically have certain piano playing skills, and there are basically no pure fans. This is the result of official screening.
After all, each of these more than 1,900 people holds the right to vote, and their professionalism is worthy of recognition.
Therefore, people are very familiar with Lin Weiyin, who just won the first prize in the Chopin International Piano Competition last year.
"Wow, Jili Gulu's prowess is really getting higher and higher. He even invited Lin Weiyin!"
"It's not just Lin Weiyin, see that kid over there wearing a mask, he's Gao Feiliu!"
"Vice Dean of Dongshin University Yu Chengjiao is also here, didn't you notice? He's the one wearing the gentleman's hat and sitting in the back row!"
"I'm really speechless about these big guys, come here and they're even in disguise!"
"That's right, Lin Weiyin is more free and easy. Look how upright and upright she is. Huh? She even sat on the contestants' bench. Oh my God, she can't be a contestant, right?"
"Am I wrong? Is she chatting with Uncle A?"
"I found another person, guess who it is? Meng Han! It's the third placer in the Chopin International Competition, and he's here too!"
"Holy crap, it's really true! If he hadn't stood up suddenly, I wouldn't have noticed it!"
"Climax, climax! How many more pianists are hidden in this hall?"
As the identity of each grand pianist was guessed, the audience became more and more excited.
Many viewers woke up instantly and looked left and right one by one, carefully identifying the people sitting next to them, wanting to see their true faces.
Maybe there's an idol sitting next to you?
Not to mention, this trick is really effective.
The entire concert hall, including the first floor of the pool and the second floor of the balcony, were filled with exclamations one after another.
"Oh my god, Teacher Jiang, you are actually Teacher Jiang!"
"Miss Li, why are you here?"
"Teacher Xian, Teacher Xian, it's you!"
"Teacher Cao, I am your student! Think again, yes, yes, yes, ten years ago, the Central Conservatory of Music, yes, yes, do you remember me?"
"Mr. Bo..."
The whole hall was in commotion.
Qiu Zhiming, who was playing on the field, had sweat stains on the back of his head, but he still pretended to be calm and worked hard to play his music well.
Until the end of the song, the host Zhang Haicai quickly said to the audience: "Quiet! Quiet! It's competition time. Audience friends, please respect the works performed by the contestants!"
After all, they are all high-quality talents.
Under Zhang Hai's persuasion, the hall instantly became quiet, and people's conversations became much quieter, to the point where you could even hear a needle drop.
On the other side, Zheng Lan, who was waiting to come on stage, was so happy that he couldn't wait to get on the stage and start playing.
The piece he performed is called "Sword Comes", which is an original piece that was published on the music version of Station J. It is also Zheng Lan's most clicked piece so far. It is said that it was inspired by a fantasy novel he read day and night.
Throughout the piece, the sound of the piano comes out as clearly as flowing water, making people feel happy.
But starting from the middle, there are constant climaxes, confusion, and tragic emotions, which actually successfully attract everyone's attention.
It was as if at that moment, a bronze sword pierced the starry sky and passed through, leaving an indelible mark in people's hearts.
"Except for being a little hollow, it's still a pretty good performance."
In the contestants' seat, after listening to Zheng Lan's work completely, Lin Weiyin nodded slightly, then leaned forward slightly, approached Uncle A in the front seat, and asked calmly: "Don't you still admit it?"
"Admit what?"
Fu Xiaoci replied on behalf of Liao Yuan: "Hey, don't look for trouble!"
"It's okay if I haven't seen you before, but since I have seen you, your playing style, fingering techniques, including your height and appearance, in our eyes, can actually easily reveal your identity."
Lin Weiyin said quietly: ""War Rhapsody" is a stunning piece of work. Precisely because it is so stunning, it is even more eye-catching. And for those who have witnessed you playing on the Costa
For us, it doesn’t matter whether you wear a mask or not.”
Liao Yuan's ears twitched and he whispered: "We?"
"In this concert hall, there are no less than ten pianists I know. They have been here since yesterday."
Lin Weiyin smiled slightly and also lowered his voice: "They came here just to confirm their thoughts and want to see the birth of a great pianist. Mr. Liao, your "Out of the Western Regions" is amazing, and
"War Rhapsody" is simply amazing."
"I can not understand what you say."
Liao Yuan smiled: "Ms. Lin, it's competition time now, please respect the players' competition."
When Lin Weiyin heard this, she nodded slightly and stopped talking.
Fu Xiaoci looked at Lin Weiyin and then Liao Yuan, feeling very depressed.
When did Grandpa Liao go to the Costa to perform again?
How many things does this great grandpa hide from me?
Humph, the baby is angry!
At this moment, on the stage, after a round of voting, in the end, Zheng Lan won with a gap of nearly 200 votes and successfully advanced to the top ten.
Before this living cannon had time to express his promotion speech, he was so excited that he fainted on the spot.
Staff members immediately came to the scene to check his physical condition. Within a few seconds, Zheng Lan was jumping to life again. After delivering an incoherent victory speech, he walked off the stage.
Qiu Zhiming looked very annoyed, but he also very much recognized Zheng Lan's performance today. Just like the conversation before the start, he was convinced that he had lost today.
Soon, under the continued control of host Zhang Hai, the competition continued.
The masters from the three competition areas once again showed their talents today. They presented original works one after another. The quality of each piano piece was unexpectedly above the standard.
Among them, Hong Kong pianist Mei Duoduo received the highest number of votes so far with 1,417 votes.
after an hour.
On the stage, Zhang Hai came to the glass ball and pressed the machine button again to start the lottery.
After a period of screening, a numbered ball ejected.
The entire audience looked intently and burst into cheers.
"number 1!"
Zhang Hai picked up the first numbered ball with a smile and looked at Uncle A in the audience: "You are the first one to appear."
Liao Yuan nodded and stood up.
Next to him, more than a dozen pianists who had not yet come on stage all swallowed their saliva, their scalps numb with nervousness.
"Don't be me, never be me..."
Lisianthus muttered silently.
At this time, the screening was still continuing on the stage. After a few seconds, the second numbered ball ejected again.
After Zhang Hai got the number ball, he said: "No. 9!"
For a moment, the entire audience looked towards the No. 9 player chair.
Lisianthus is like being struck by lightning!
Yes, he is player No. 9...
All the other players were relieved.
Next to him, Ling Lingyao patted his shoulder with pity: "Yang Jie, it's okay, it's just a game. It doesn't matter if you lose, but you have to lose with courage. At worst, we will fight again next year!"
Fight with your sister! Fight!
Lisianthus wants to cry but has no tears.
"Damn it, last year we were still in the top ten, but this year we're not even in the top fifteen?"
Lisianthus howled incessantly.
He had seen Uncle A's playing, especially after "War Rhapsody" came out. His playing ability, even when watched through video, made Platycodon's hands and feet weak.
This kind of pianist who is almost beyond the performance level, instead of going on a world tour to make money, why the hell did he come here to compete with these scumbag players for a position?
Wipe it, do you want to be ashamed? Ah? I just asked you if you want to be ashamed?
How could a man behave like this?
Bullying the weak...can it really bring you pleasure?
Can a grand pianist really do whatever he wants?
Is there any royal method for this?
Lisianthus gritted her teeth and glanced at Liao Yuan angrily.
But he soon became discouraged.
Yes, as a grand pianist, you can really do whatever you want...
With trembling hands, he rested on the handle of the chair, stood up, and prepared to fight——
"Sorry, sorry, I made a mistake, I made a mistake, do it again."
At this time, the host Zhang Hai suddenly changed his mind and hurriedly turned over the number ball: "Sorry, audience friends, I saw it wrong. This is No. 6, not No. 9!"
Not number 9?
Is it number 6?
With a bang, Lisianthus, who had just stood up, heard this, her knees were so weak that she almost fell to the ground.
He rubbed his eyes, looked at the stage carefully, and after confirming that the number ball in the host's hand was indeed No. 6, he was immediately ecstatic.
I wipe it, God will not kill me!
In the contestant box, Contestant No. 6 "Masked Superman" slowly stood up.
As the name suggests, the Masked Superman is also a masked contestant, but unlike Uncle A, this Masked Superman's equipment is extremely well-made, and his whole body is exactly the same as the character in the animation of the same name "The Masked Superman"
The attire, the red cloak on the back and the eye-catching bulge on the lower abdomen can be said to be the focus of the whole scene.
But at the same time, he is still one of the most powerful players in the game. Before Uncle A played "War Rhapsody", he and Uncle A were the two most famous masked players, and they were also one of the strong contenders for the championship in the Chinese Division.
one.
Unexpectedly, things happened by such a coincidence.
"come on!"
Fu Xiaoci stood up, helped arrange Liao Yuan's tie, and encouraged: "I'm down below, watching you return as the king!"
The lines are so awkward!
Liao Yuan coughed, and another voice sounded in his ears at the same time.
"Can it be killed instantly?"
Lin Weiyin said calmly: "Show your true strength and don't lose your identity as a grand pianist."
...Yeah, this line is even more embarrassing!
Liao Yuan took a deep breath and walked onto the stage step by step amid warm applause from the audience.
The host Zhang Hai came forward, looked at Liao Yuan with bright eyes, and asked excitedly: "What is the piece you are playing?"
Liao Yuandao: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Zhang Hai: "???"
The whole place was in an uproar.
Fu Xiaoci couldn't bear to witness it and covered her eyes.
Before coming, she asked Liao Yuan what piece he would perform today.
Liao Yuan's answer was exactly the same as now.
Fu Xiaoci thought this grandpa was joking and didn't take it too seriously. Unexpectedly, damn, he really hadn't thought about it!
Zhang Hai couldn't laugh or cry: "Is it because I haven't thought about the name yet? Or maybe I haven't thought about the song yet? You should give me some information, right?"
"name?"
Liao Yuan thought for a while and said: "Let's call it "Electromagnetic Gun"!"
