It is not uncommon for contestants to wear masks on stage. In previous piano competitions, there were many such people. Most of them were unwilling to reveal their identities, but they wanted to prove their strength through this kind of competition.
Among them are real celebrities and newcomers who pretend to be mysterious. Officially, Jili Gulu has not banned this.
In the first One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition, a world-class grand pianist from the North American division wore a clown mask and joined the competition.
From the beginning of the audition, he passed all the tests and became the biggest dark horse that year. Unfortunately, he stopped in the top three of the competition.
After leaving the stage, the contestant's information was quickly leaked. Although it caused some trouble in life, the concert tours held by him were sold out and he became the most popular and most valuable singer at the time.
One of the great pianists.
However, this kind of trick is really new to the audience at first, and it will even attract a lot of attention. However, with the success of the first and second One Emperor and Four Emperors Competition, people are becoming more and more interested in it.
Players who show too many fake faces have lost the patience to pay attention to them. Naturally, the basic skills requirements for such players are infinitely higher.
Pretending requires strength. If you don’t have strong strength, wearing a mask will only make people look at you more harshly. Once you fail to meet the audience’s psychological expectations, elimination is a sure thing. What’s more,
There is even a certain chance that you will be booed or attacked with a mineral water bottle.
There is precedent for this.
In addition, although wearing a mask on stage increases the sense of mystery, it slightly reduces the emotional appeal.
Like singers and dancers, while expressing their professional abilities, their expressions and body expansion will shock the audience to a certain extent.
It is worth mentioning that when playing music, you must put your true feelings into it, and your expression and demeanor should be comfortable and content, and should not be too artificial.
If you just deduce for the sake of deduce, it will be like a tiger instead of a dog, and it will have the opposite effect.
In this regard, among Liao Yuan's friends in the industry in his previous life, there was a veritable expression emperor and a famous world-class grand pianist, Lang Lang.
In his early playing career, Lang Lang often lost his temper when playing the piano and made all kinds of exaggerated expressions. As a result, he was featured on the cover of music publications around the world.
Liao Yuan knew that it was a sign of true devotion.
I really like playing the piano. If I don’t touch the piano for a day, my whole body will feel hot and uncomfortable. I regard the piano as my life.
This style of playing that seemed like madness and killed the mentally retarded was unique at the time and was not understood by many people.
But no matter how others slander him, Lang Lang's piano playing skills are still recognized as a first-rate master in the world.
He spoke to the world through a piano, leaving his footprints everywhere at the Olympics, Grammys, World Cup, Spring Festival Gala, etc., and allowing the world to witness countless classic moments.
But the release of emotions does not mean that it must be shown on the face.
The interpretation of the fingertips can also shock people's hearts.
Even Lang Lang later, as his playing style became more and more proficient, his early style of forgetful playing gradually disappeared. It was like returning to his original nature. Later, he completely conquered the world with just his hands. In the words of many international piano masters,
Lang Lang is also known as one of the top three great pianists in the world.
Another example is Horowitz.
He always has a poker face when playing the piano and has few unnecessary body movements, but his playing style is indeed very infectious and he is known as one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century.
In fact, except for a few "expressionists", most world-class pianists also put their emotions in their hands.
Therefore, Fu Xiaoci's proposal is completely feasible.
Wearing a mask to play the piano will not affect Liao Yuan's performance too much.
"Let me think about it."
After hanging up the phone, Liao Yuan searched for the One Emperor and Four Emperors competition rules on his computer. After reading them, he fell into thinking.
Musicians also need empathy.
In his heart, Liao Yuan does not want to be a lonely performer, dancing alone in a dark world with no one to appreciate him, no flowers, applause, and praise. No matter how great his enthusiasm is, it will be burned in loneliness.
In his heart, he longs to be on stage.
But at the same time as this idea came into being, Liao Yuan still had a huge fear hidden in his heart.
In his previous life, he was very ostentatious, and his classic works bloomed around the world through his writing, and then became coveted.
In the last few days of his life, he was kidnapped and taken to an abandoned factory. For dozens of hours, everything was pitch black.
All that can be smelled around is the smelly garbage heap, and all that can be heard in the ears, apart from the sound of the wind, is the only sound of rats gnawing food...
The fear is beyond words.
In his next life, he already had obscure thoughts about Tao Guang.
But the temptation of fame and fortune seems to be constantly driving him towards the abyss of destruction.
In particular, his predecessor's persistence and love for music planted an irresistible seed of temptation deep in his soul.
Whenever he touches the instrument, the hairs on his body will relax rapidly.
The pleasure that came from his soul made him addicted like taking opium.
Liao Yuan turned off the computer, came to the living room, turned on the camera mode on the camera, lifted the tablecloth, opened the S-277 piano board, and sat down gently.
When the first piano sound sounded...
It's as if someone is walking deep in the soul, holding flowers and smiling.
There were also people sitting cross-legged on the ground, pointing at the chessboard and cheering loudly.
Others were dancing under the spotlight, shedding tears and waving vigorously in the face of the shouts and screams of 100,000 spectators.
But more people are walking alone in the darkness, like lonely passers-by.
However, when they raised their heads, Liao Yuan could see that they looked exactly like him...
Liao Yuan's hands playing the piano were once again wrapped in Xu Mi's holy light.
In the whole room, there is desolation, hope, destruction, sadness, blood, war, home, partners, death, blades, dancing together, and growth.
But I am no longer me.
I am the prelude to dawn, the glory of the sky, and the eternal darkness!
This song is called "last-reunion". When it plays, in front of Liao Yuan, a broad road shines brightly and dazzlingly.
Liao Yuan strode away.
Suddenly, he turned around, stretched out his hand to the child who was sitting in the corner playing the piano silently, and said with a smile:
"Brother, the road ahead is clear. You and I can move forward together, okay?"
