496. The Drama Duo Goes On, the Association in front of the Piano by Xiao Bo
A gathering of artists under the DG umbrella?
For a moment, figures jumped out of front of his eyes.
Argerich, Branjano, Olsson, Yasinski, Ontmont, Dimitri...
Whether they are the winners of the Chopin Gold Medal in the past or the big names in the piano industry today, these artists under the DG umbrella also have a common identity - the judges of this competition.
At this point in time, the first round of the Chopin Competition is approaching.
Qin Jian naturally regarded this gathering as a gathering of judges.
Since it is a gathering of judges, Qin Jian, as a contestant, has an instinctive avoidance mentality.
He could directly refuse Baudelaire's olive branch, but for Walker...
In any case, he has another secret contract with him, which clearly records his identity - the DG artist who refused to sign a contract.
So a direct rejection seems somewhat...
Qin Jian looked at Duan Ran with some hesitation.
The moment the four eyes met, Qin Jian seemed to convey something.
Duan Ran couldn't see Qin Jian's thoughts, and smiled in his heart.
There was a moment of silence.
Then he pouted, and said a little dejectedly: "But you have promised me, night..."
Halfway through her words, she stopped, and anyone could see the loneliness on her little face.
Qin Jian understood for a second, and suddenly an expression of struggle and difficulty in making a choice appeared on his face.
Paul was stunned by this drama, and Paul was shocked.
He looked at Duan Ran, is this still the female artist who played the moonlight just now?
Moment.
Paul embarrassedly came out to relieve Qin Jian: "I'm sorry Miss Duan, I really didn't know that you and Mr. Qin had made arrangements in advance. As he spoke, he took out two blue invitations from his briefcase, "Keep them as a souvenir." โ
Qin Jian took it helplessly, he still wanted to say something, Paul smiled and shook his head, giving him a 'I understand' expression.
Seeing this, Qin Jian sighed, "I'm really sorry, please tell Mr. Walker for me, everything is going well." โ
Paul nodded and turned his face to look at Duan Ran: "Miss Duan, the Honoratka restaurant is very good, I wish you a happy evening." โ
Duan Ran replied with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Thank you, Mr. Paul." โ
Qin Jian didn't say anything anymore, glanced at the other party gratefully, took the invitation and turned around and walked towards the door of the piano room with Duan Ran.
Unexpectedly, he was just about to take Duan Ran's hand, and Duan Ran opened his hand.
Looking at this scene not far away, Paul couldn't help but smile and exclaimed, "Alas, it's good to be young. โ
Seeing the little couple walk out of the piano room, he was just about to call the assistant, when a strong and regular sound came.
Paul looked towards the other stage, and in front of the piano, the woman from Lincoln Center was already playing.
It had been a long time since he had heard such an authentic sound of the Depai piano.
The repertoire she played was also Moonlight Three.
...
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the headquarters, Duan Ran grabbed Qin Jian's arm: "Am I very smart?"
"Full marks for acting, but don't you really want to go?"
The moment Qin Jian's hand was opened, he seemed to be a little convinced that Duan Ran was really here, but he couldn't remember what arrangements he had promised the other party tonight.
"Of course I do, but I think it's better to avoid suspicion, after all, your current identity is different. โ
Qin Jian nodded, and hugged Duan Ran with his backhand: "Say, where do you want to go next?"
"Don't you want to have a few places to go around? Duan Ran enjoyed the feeling of being hugged by Qin Jian on the street, and pinched Qin Jian's big hand hanging on his shoulder with both hands, "I'll follow you to eat and drink." โ
"Let's go, Chopin Museum. โ
"yes, batida is around there. โ
"What is Batida?"
"Dessert House! You didn't read the link I sent you, Chopin chocolates are sold there!"
"Oh, I remember. โ
"You definitely didn't open the link. โ
"I saw so much information at that time, how could I have the heart to click on the link, and I didn't think about calling you quickly. โ
"Hmph, I believe you. โ
"Duan Ran, did you notice the three people who came in behind just now?"
"Well, the woman in the middle should also be here to try the piano. โ
"I guess she's also a contestant. โ
"I don't know about this, but her eyes are good anyway. โ
"Yes, but it's a lot worse than you. โ
"Really? I'll believe it. โ
"Really. โ
โMua๏ฝโ
There is no woman who doesn't like to be complimented, especially from someone they like.
This white bite made Qin Jian feel that the woman was really coaxing.
...
On the metro to Tinka Street.
Qin Jian once again felt the significance of Chopin to the city, Chopin's music was played in the carriage, and every attraction introduced on the mobile advertisements was inseparable from Chopin's words.
As soon as they got out of the subway station, the two stepped onto Tinka Street.
In front of him is a wax figure of Chopin.
But unlike the traditional image of Chopin in his impression, although the Chopin presented in front of him was dressed decently, a child's appearance, but he had an out-and-out cartoon character face.
This can't help but bring him closer to the great musician of 200 years ago.
"Interesting. โ
Qin Jian looked at the navigation on the map of his phone.
"Go west. โ
The Chopin Museum, located on Tรคmaka Street, is undoubtedly a mecca for classical music fans and museum lovers from all over the world.
It is not only one of the world's largest private museums, but also the largest collection of Chopin-related artifacts in the world.
Qin Jian likes to go to places like this to find some inspiration, like the Lach Memorial, Casa Figaro.
With this in mind, Qin Jian stepped into the thick wooden gate of the museum.
Elegance and warmth are his first feelings about this space.
As he paced, one collection after another was revealed, including Chopin's original manuscripts, a model of his left hand, and letters that Chopin sent back to Poland after emigrating to France.
Each piece in the collection represents a part of Chopin's past, which makes Chopin clear and complete to the eyes of modern people.
"It was the last piano Chopin ever used. Following a team of French tour guides, Duan Ran translated for Qin Jian.
With this piano at its center, the museum recreates the living room where Chopin lived in his apartment in Paris.
Standing in this living room, Qin Jian looked at the brown piano, and not only Chopin came to mind.
And then there's the short-haired George Sand, the woman Chopin loved for the second half of her life, whether she ever sat on the piano and wrote.
And the long-haired Liszt, the best friend who maintained Chopin's CP relationship until his death, whether he played on this piano a piece that Chopin had just written, perhaps an etude or a certain mazurka.
"What are you thinking, smiling so kindly?" Duan Ran gently leaned into Qin Jian's ear, "Like an old grandfather." โ
Qin Jian smiled and sighed softly, "Think-you." โ
"Qin Jian, you have become bad~" Duan Ran said such words, but his body couldn't help but get closer, and said inaudibly, "But I like to hear you say such things." โ
Ignoring the surrounding eyes again, he gave a kiss.
A whistle in the crowd seemed to be cheering.
It was in this place that Frederick Chopin used his last piano during his lifetime.
