Chapter 428: You Forced Me, Bastard
The shots taken in the back are all shots of Hong Chen on the cruise ship.
At a luxurious dinner party in the wealthy area, Hong Chen wore gifts and played music for the rich with the band.
In the end, he was the only one left at the banquet to play solo.
His hands were beating fast on the keys, very fast, and the music was beautiful and graceful.
The rich writhed on the dance floor to his music.
As soon as the picture turned, Hong Chen came to the poor area again.
There was only one piano in the poor area, and he was still playing quickly, surrounded by poor onlookers.
Hong Chen, as always, smiled confidently and elegantly, and the poor people all quietly enjoyed his performance.
After filming these scenes, Yan Chi exclaimed: "Fortunately, you are the leading actor, otherwise I really can't find such a good actor who can play." ”
The protagonist of this movie requires proficiency in the piano, otherwise it will inevitably affect the viewing experience if he always cuts the camera.
It's not just Yan Chi, in the past few days, those large and small group performances have been amazed by Hong Chen's talent.
For example, filming this scene in a poor area.
Hong Chen sat on the piano in the corner and played, and the big room was densely packed with group performances. The task of the group performance is to dance slightly to the music when Hong Chen is playing the piano, with an intoxicated expression on his face.
At first, many group performances thought that it was another "non-physical performance", and this kind of performance was sometimes inevitably embarrassing.
For example, in the final battle of Harry Potter's two waves of mages, they used their wands to continuously send out attack magic, and the final effect looked very gorgeous.
But during the filming, there was no magic at all, only two waves of people hunched over, holding a wooden stick, and pointing at each other with angry faces.
Those who knew that it was Harry Potter were filming the decisive battle scene.
I don't know how it looks like, two waves of mental patients exchange conditions.
The group performers in North America are very dedicated, which has to be admitted.
They were ready to perform.
But when Yan Chi shouted "action", and Hong Chen's fingers danced quickly on the piano keys, the group performers were stunned.
What the Fuc-K, what is it?
Put on the recording?
But then the ensemble found out that it couldn't be a recording.
In North America, concerts are a very popular and trendy program, and many people like to watch them very much, so they have a high appreciation of musical instruments.
Now, many people can naturally hear that Hong Chen is really playing!
And it's this kind of difficult piano music!
Hong Chen can actually play the piano, and he plays it so well?
The group performers looked at him, and their eyes began to be a little incredible, and then they became intoxicated.
This is also very consistent with this scene of filming.
There are two lines for filming scenes on cruise ships. One is to shoot Hong Chen's unparalleled piano skills, and the other is to show Hong Chen's character from the side through Mark's perspective.
The cruise ship docked at the dock of the United States again, and the poor people who dreamed of the United States carried their luggage and shouted excitedly and got off the ship.
Mark and Hongchen were on the railing, looking at the crowd below, Mark asked:
"Why don't you go to land? You can earn a lot of money by your ability? Buy a big house and marry a beautiful wife. Instead of swinging around on a boat for a lifetime, as is the case now. ”
"Why are you reluctant to leave this ship, even if it's just once. ”
Hearing his words, Hong Chen glanced at the sea, and his gaze became deep.
He thought for a moment and said, "Why...... I think people nowadays are wasting too much time asking why. ”
"Winter is coming, and you are longing for summer, and when summer is coming, you are afraid of winter. ”
"So, you always never get tired of traveling, you always have to go to distant places. ”
"I don't think that's for me. ”
Neither of them said anything and seemed to be thinking.
This question, until the end, was asked by the audience, and that is why 1900 was reluctant to get off the ship.
Actually, the answer is simple.
Our land is his sea.
For us, no one wants to leave the land and be adrift at sea all their lives.
It's the same for him, this ship, this sea, is where he belongs.
is also as Hong Chen said in the play: "There are so many roads on land, there is no way to go." ”
Hong Chen has the talent of an artist and the solitude of a poet.
He was personable, extraordinary, unworldly, and likewise unworldly, he was not worldly.
He has a brilliant mind and clear eyes that can see many things clearly.
While he's playing, Mark will ask him what he's thinking.
Hong Chen would tell him what he had in mind: the streets of London, covered with snow, and countless elephants running in them......
His thoughts can spread along with the piano music, reaching out to this boundless world.
After that, it finally came to the biggest climax of the movie.
That is the famous pianist on land, the inventor of jazz Jerry, who thinks that his talent is unmatched, and after hearing the story of Hong Chen, he made a special trip to the cruise ship to challenge Hong Chen.
He mocked unscrupulously in front of the media: "I don't even have the courage to step off that broken ship, how can I play the piano well?"
Someone said: "As long as he decides to come down, you can only go back to the chicken yard to play, God testifies, go back to the chicken yard." ”
It was this thrill that made Jerry decide to have a musical duel to end the story of this pianist at sea.
This is a showdown between top pianists.
Countless media outlets flocked to it.
Jerry made insulting remarks before he got on the boat, threatening to make Hong Chen embarrassed.
Later, when Hong Chen was playing in the rich man's restaurant, Jerry appeared and drove him away: "You seem to be sitting in my place." ”
Hong Chen was stunned, then smiled, and then stood up.
"You're the inventor of jazz, aren't you?"
"Yes. You're the guy who can only play if you sit on the sea with your ass?"
Hong Chen hesitated, smiled, and said calmly: "Yes." ”
Everyone stopped at this moment and was looking at them.
This duel began like this.
Hong Chen gave him a seat.
Jerry sat down unceremoniously and began to play.
As a world-renowned pianist, Jerry's piano music is incomparably beautiful, as the voiceover says: "Jerry is not playing, he is caressing the notes, the music is as silky as a girl's silk, and his fingers are as light as butterflies." ”
The guests looked intoxicated.
Mark frowned, because Jerry was obviously provoking his friend Hong Chen, and he naturally didn't want to see Jerry so brilliant.
But looking at Hong Chen, he just listened quietly, and smiled from time to time, as if he was enjoying Jerry's music.
He doesn't care about worldly opinions, he only cares about his own music.
Jerry puts a lit cigarette on the piano before playing.
By the time he finished playing, the cigarette had burned out, but the ash didn't fall off at all, it was still a whole one!
What a terrible stability this is!
You know, Jerry plays the music very passionately and fast.
With such a violent action, the cigarette on the piano was not even shattered!
When Jerry held up the burned-out cigarette, the audience applauded!
Jerry proudly held a cigarette, arrogantly came to Hong Chen, and said expressionlessly:
"It's your turn, sailor. ”
The word "sailor" deliberately accentuated his tone, and the mockery became more and more obvious.
Hong Chen stood up very calmly, and also came to the piano and sat down.
He held his cheek in one hand, as if hesitating what to play. Then, with a calm smile, he played a very ordinary Christmas song.
A mocking voice rang out all around:
"Is it Christmas?"
"What's this playing?"
"Phew~"
The surrounding audience booed.
But when I looked at Jerry again, I found that this world-famous piano master, his expression gradually solidified at this moment.
The reason is simple.
Hong Chen didn't take this competition seriously at all!
His performance was just to lighten the mood.
As a proud world-class pianist, he made a special trip to the sea to find an unknown person to face off, and the other party ignored him.
Look at Hong Chen again, after the performance, he is still playing treasure to please the applause of the audience.
Jerry was furious.
The second piece Jerry played, called "The Crave," was a great piano piece.
This piano piece is a famous work written and composed by Jerry himself.
When playing, Jerry obviously poured out his feelings, his demeanor was realistic and serious, and then he was complacent and dark, and finally he was completely immersed in the song and couldn't extricate himself.
Look at the reactions of the people around you.
All of them were intoxicated.
Even Hong Chen was moved.
There is no doubt that Jerry has once again won a full round of applause!
He is the world's top pianist!
Then, Jerry continued to return to the counter proudly, tilted his head, picked up the wine glass, and did not even look back at Hong Chen.
Hong Chen shrugged his shoulders, still smiling lightly, as if he were an outsider.
Once again, he sat down at the piano, and the song he played was also "The Crave".
He replayed the song Jerry had played.
Once again, the audience began to taunt: "Don't you have a tune?" and "Only at this level?"
No one has the patience to listen to the exact same tune again.
But only Jerry, the look of shock in his eyes became more and more intense.
Because, in this year, the gramophone had not yet been invented. Hong Chen had never had a chance to listen to Jerry's tune.
In other words, he only listened to it once, and he played such a difficult song!
What does this mean?
This time, Jerry was furious too!
He stood up and said angrily to Hong Chen, "You listen to me!"
Then, it's the third round!
In this round, Jerry is a pure spin technique! He wants to use a pure mellow tune to make Hong Chen unable to imitate.
"He's not playing, it's magic, he's acrobatics, and he's getting the most out of eighty-eight keys, at a terrifying speed, without a single wrong note. ”
Jerry's piano sound is full of hostility!
The audience was cheering, but when they looked at Hong Chen again and heard Jerry's spinning performance, their faces were full of disappointment and pain. He hears Jerry's hostility and senses Jerry's disrespect for the piano.
It's not music, it's more like a stack of notes for the sake of melody.
At this moment, Hong Chen was also angry!
After this energetic music ended, Jerry glissando, looked around, bowed, and had a trifecta.
At this time, Hong Chen had become serious.
He sat on the piano for the third time, looked at Jerry, and cursed:
"You forced me, bastard. ”
