"Adams, what is your response to Larmore's latest provocative remarks on Twitter?"
"Adams, I heard that you changed the final song temporarily, is that true?"
"Adams..."
...
In front of the Golden Hall, as the most famous young pianist in Europe, Edgar Adams can create a conversation every time he appears in the public eye.
Mention his name,
Nightclub hangover.
Scandals with many female stars and young models.
There are even rumors that he is secretly a drug addict.
There are all kinds of topics about him.
Compared with the title of "post-modern Mozart", his behavior is more like that of an upper-class young man, and the piano is just a gorgeous pendant on his body.
But if you look at his personal resume.
It will shock everyone.
He learned piano at the age of four, and studied under the German piano godfather Kreisler at the age of eight.
At the age of twelve, he became the youngest student since the establishment of the Hannover Conservatory of Music. In the same year, he won the championship in the Lisztgen Piano Competition held in Budapera.
became famous across Europe.
Two years later, he won second place in the piano category of the 12th Tchaikovsky Music Competition.
In the third year, he won the silver medal at the 17th Chopin Steel Piano Competition at the age of fifteen.
Continuously, it swept all major international competitions.
After Adams turned eighteen, he stopped participating in various competitions and entered the entertainment industry.
Naturally, it has been a smooth journey. In less than two years, he has become the protagonist of major music events, the darling of the advertising media, and a frequent visitor to the Grammys.
A cheating life has become the idol of many young people.
but.
Despite his glamorous and chaotic private life, not many people know that he still practices piano for more than 6 hours a day to this day.
Just over two months ago, the International Federation of Musicians announced that it would hold a global Mozart Music Competition.
Adams immediately reposted on Twitter and said he would participate.
At that time, many fans thought that he would attend as a judge.
But a month later, when he announced at the end of a solo music session that he would participate in the competition as a contestant, he caused a stir in the circle.
"Adams, who do you think will be your biggest opponent in this final?"
At this moment, Adams, who was surrounded by security personnel, stopped.
A figure flashed in his mind.
Turning to the male reporter asking questions, his blue eyes were full of smiles, "I just want to say that he is an interesting person."
After that, he quickly disappeared into the crowd, leaving behind a string of question marks.
"Can you tell me more about this person?"
"Is it Larmour?"
...
As Adams left, the crowd dissipated quite a bit, but it was still a bit crowded.
"please."
"please."
Duan Ran was holding his own cloth bag in his left hand and Qin Jian's dress box in his right hand, walking in front of Qin Jian.
Qin Jian just said it as a joke, but she thought it made sense.
Moreover, after seeing that many contestants were guarding the way, she felt that Qin Jian could not lose his place.
Although Duan Ran doesn't have their strong physique, she is good-looking.
So along the way, many people took the initiative to make way for her.
Qin Jian followed behind, dumbfounded.
Obviously, their outstanding looks and oriental faces attracted the attention of many people. Within a few steps, several reporters recognized them at a glance and swarmed over.
However, Duan Ran played the role of "female bodyguard and manager" very well. He was sorry for all the questions that he understood or didn't understand. It seemed like the same thing.
Smoothly passing through the crowd, the two entered the venue in advance with their player passes and arrived at the splendid lobby.
In front of the main hall of the Golden Hall.
"Don't be nervous, just play it steadily and it will be fine."
Duan Ran took off Qin Jian's watch and put it in his pocket.
Then he took out a thermos cup and two chocolates from the cloth bag and put them into Qin Jian's dress box.
"If you are thirsty, drink the water from this cup. If you are hungry, eat a piece of chocolate."
Finally, he handed the dress in his hand to the other party.
"Don't worry, I will applaud seriously."
"come on."
As he spoke, he raised the corner of his mouth and stretched out his fist again.
"come on."
Qin Jian smiled, stretched out his fist and bumped into the opponent's small fist.
"Then I'll go in first."
...
Backstage.
The organizing committee has arranged an independent rest room for each finalist who is about to appear.
However, the entire corridor was quiet.
Under the guidance of the staff, Qin Jian came to his own rest room.
The piano inside is also YamahCFX specified by him.
Qin Jian sat in front of the piano and ran through a few sets of scales.
"My fingers feel pretty good."
After a brief warm-up, he confirmed the condition of his fingers.
"My nerves are just not very high."
The next second.
"Focus on guidance."
"open!"
The moment he opened it, a sense of coolness suddenly surged into his eyebrows.
Then, his hands shook.
Several sets of powerful chords fall in succession.
The passionate third movement sounded in the quiet corridor.
then.
Not long after, the sound of piano came from every room one after another.
Chopin, Beethoven, Bach, Scarlatti, Brahms, Schubert, Bartoka, from baroque to modernism, you can find them all.
Except Mozart.
Before the warm-up for the final of the Mozart category, no one played Mozart.
“What a lovely and shy group of people.”
Adams smiled and sat down in front of the piano, opening the lid gracefully.
Just when he was about to hit the first note of k466, a sharp sound stream penetrated the sound insulation board and came from the next room.
The originally enthusiastic third movement suddenly transformed into a strong wind.
Adams' deep eye sockets looked even more attractive because of his frown, but his right index finger stopped less than 1cm above the keys.
"What music is this?"
He swore that there was absolutely no such passage in the Passionate Sonata, nor in any of Beethoven's music. There was even such a melody that had never appeared in his known piano works.
Just when he took back his hand and was about to think about it carefully.
The music suddenly stopped.
But his ears seemed to be filled with echoes, and his eye sockets sunk deeper.
...
"About 148 to 155 speed."
This speed has almost reached its limit and cannot go any faster.
Having set the tempo of Ke Qi's second movement in his mind, Qin Jian left the piano.
He sat on the sofa nearby and closed his eyes.
leftover.
This is the final appearance.
...
Five o'clock sharp.
In the gorgeous hall, thirty sets of lights illuminated the entire stage.
In the packed audience, fifty judges were waiting quietly.
