Chapter 276: Refusal
Out!
Pei Hongyu won unanimous praise from all the judges in the audience with her strength in crushing the audience, which shocked all the players and the audience.
Offstage, violinist Miyamoto Chaoyang from Japan showed a frightened look.
"Liao Sang, she is Liao Sang's disciple!"
Miyamoto Chaoyang opened his mouth slightly: "Maybe it's a mistake, Liao Sang is a pianist, even if his disciples come to compete, they should be in the piano group." ”
Since Liao Yuan easily won the Tokugawa Haruaki in the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, the entire Japanese music circle can be described as an uproar.
But after watching the factual video, people sadly found that Liao Yuan's attainments on the piano were already superb, and it was a pinnacle that ordinary people could not reach.
Although Japanese netizens continue to call on outstanding domestic pianists to come to challenge, so far, no one dares to say with great confidence that they can absolutely defeat Liao Yuan.
The picture of Liao Yuan playing "La San" and "Bell" is like the mark of the devil, imprinted in the minds of all pianists who have watched the video.
This turmoil not only affected the entire circle of pianists, but also the entire Japanese music circle, and it caused a great sensation.
Such as Miyamoto Chaoyang.
As a rising star in the Japanese violin world, Miyamoto Chaoyang can also be said to be thunderous about the name Liao Yuan, knowing that this is a great pianist born in China.
She also knew from her friend Tokugawa Harumaki that Liao Yuan was one of the judges of the piano group of the Tchaikovsky Competition, but she never expected that in the violin group, there were also Liao Yuan's disciples?
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
When Miyamoto Chaoyang stood on the stage, her mind was still echoing with the violin song that Pei Hongyu had just played, and the faint sadness still affected the dopamine secreted in her mind until now, and she had a great awe of the legendary Liao Sang in her heart.
Could it be that Liao Sang is not only a grand pianist, but also a master in terms of violin attainments?
......
The day passed quickly.
The first day of the Tchaikovsky Competition came to an end, and the situation was even more tragic than expected, with a third of the participants in the piano, violin, and vocal groups being eliminated, including some of the seeded contestants who had been announced by the media before the competition.
But the first day of the competition was very topical.
First of all, Liao Yuan, the judge of the piano group, gave high scores to the contestants one after another, but fortunately, his high scores were very average, which can be called rain and dew evenly, and there was no phenomenon of favoritism, and almost every contestant's performance gave more than 8 points of praise.
Compared with other judges, Liao Yuan's score was too high, so that he was instantly highlighted in the jury, like standing out from the crowd, and became one of the topics of the public.
Many people question Liao Yuan's professional ability, after all, looking at Liao Yuan's past resume, except for the One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition, it seems that he does not have a too wonderful resume, and he may perform well in some exchange meetings, but he does not have the medals and certificates of major competitions, which seems to be a bit unworthy of the name.
Of course, this is just an outside perception.
In the entire Asian piano circle, there is no one who does not know how terrifying Liao Yuan's piano skills are.
The song "Ghost Fire" in the Golden Hall suppressed the Quartet, leaving pianists from all over Southeast Asia speechless.
At the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, it was enough to play "Bell" at double speed, and even "La San" was put out!
In the entire piano world, how many people can play "La San" perfectly?
Handful!
This alone is enough to keep most pianists shut.
But there are always some people who think that Liao Yuan is in vain, such as Philip, the director of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, but the current Liao Yuan is a judge invited by the Chai Academy after all, so in an interview with the media, in the face of people's doubts about Liao Yuan's piano skills, he replied: "I believe that Mr. Liao will prove how correct his verdict is in the future." ”
From this point of view, although Philip hates people like Liao Yuan who sell their reputations, as the dean, he also knows how to take care of the overall situation and will not show his dissatisfaction at the beginning of the event.
However, everyone's patience is extremely limited, and if Liao Yuan still can't show his professional qualities as a judge in the future, it is very likely that he will be emotionally besieged by everyone.
In addition, the grievances between Tokugawa Harumi and Liao Yuan were also picked up by the media this time.
When people read the news that Liao Yuan defeated Tokugawa Harumi in a piano competition in Japan, they couldn't help but be surprised.
Subsequently, many people hurriedly picked up the rating that Liao Yuanda gave Tokugawa Haruaki at this Schelfsky competition, 8.2 points, which is not much different from the ratings of other players.
In this way, Liao Yuan is indeed qualified to sit on the judges' seat.
In addition, in the violin group, Pei Hongyu's performance of "Schindler's List" also caused a great sensation.
Because it is a global live broadcast, TV stations and networks in various countries have exclusive live broadcast channels, so the message is conveyed in a timely manner, and many people quickly checked Pei Hongyu's information after listening to "Schindler's List", as well as the meaning of the name "Schindler".
Soon, Pei Hongyu's information was consulted.
Graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music in China, majoring in folk music and minoring in orchestral music.
So far, he has won the first prize in a number of Chinese folk or official violin competitions.
In 2021, she joined Xiaohuangyu Agency and studied music with Liao Yuan, during which Pei Hongyu went out of China and won many violin competition awards in Japan, South Korea and Thailand, and became famous in the violin circle.
In June 2022, he followed Liao Yuan to Russia to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition.
In addition to Pei Hongyu's information, Schindler's information has gradually attracted international attention.
Oskar Schindler, a German businessman, took advantage of the German war to lure Germans into investing and then hiring cheap Jews to work, making a lot of money in this era of killing and gunpowder, and at the same time dispersing all his possessions, protecting the lives of about 1,200 Jews, accounting for about a quarter of the total number of Jews living in Poland.
In 1958, the Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem declared Schindler righteous and invited him to plant trees on the Avenue of the Righteous.
Schindler died on October 9, 1974, and was buried in a Catholic manner on Mount Zvitazil in his hometown, where many surviving Jews and their descendants come to pay his respects every year.
As for "Schindler's List", there is a lot of provenance.
In the 40s and 60s of the last century, Schindler sent hundreds of letters from Munich, Buenos Aires, Frankfurt, New York, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other places, containing piles of newspaper clippings, photographs, insurance documents, mortgage certificates, sketches of the location of Schindler's factories, etc., the most precious of which is the so-called "Schindler's list".
Schindler was a righteous entrepreneur and a member of the ** party, and it was because of this special status that when he saw the mass murder of Jews, he was deeply moved, and in the name of hired laborers, he made a list of 1,200 people and handed it to the **SS and gave all his wealth for it.
He rescued the Jews from a concentration camp and into one of his factories in southern Poland, thus sparing them.
Schindler made two lists during his lifetime. The second list, written a month before the end of World War II, is still preserved in the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum in Israel.
"There really is Schindler's list!"
People all over the world who are following this event, after learning about Schindler's information, are deeply shocked by Pei Hongyu's "Schindler's List".
Combined with historical events, to listen to this song again, people can't help but feel their scalps tingle.
On this night, on social networking sites around the world, countless people started the topic of "Schindler's List" to pour out the sadness caused by this song.
It was probably the song of the corpses of countless Jews as they were incinerated and turned into countless pieces of debris scattered in the wind. ”
"Those 'snowflakes' fell on the roof of the luxury car, on the palms of the children playing, and on the world of the martyrs and survivors. ”
"May there never be war in the world, may there never be massacres among races, and may each of us love peace. ”
"The goodness of human nature shone brightly at that moment, and the melody of the violin seemed to calmly tell that memory, poignant and moving. ”
"If you don't know Schindler's list, if you don't know Schindler's deeds, if you don't know about the more than 6 million Jews who were slaughtered, and you don't know the powerlessness and despair in the melody, but even so, when you hear this song, you will still feel extremely uncomfortable. ”
Schindler's list is not just a relic, it is a symbol, part of the spiritual heritage of humanity. ”
"Thanks to Pei Hongyu for her performance, thanks to Liao Yuan for composing the music, I hope that Hollywood's great directors can take the time to shoot Schindler's story. ”
Schindler's list represents life and hope, and within the list is survival and life, and outside the list, slaughter and death. ”
This night, Schindler's deeds were quickly spread, and this speck of dust that was originally buried in history was known to the world and regained sight because of Pei Hongyu's playing.
......
The next morning, the front of the Czerfsky Conservatory was once again crowded with journalists from all over the world.
But this time, the journalists' performance was very different from yesterday.
Half of the photographers and media reporters in the original piano group ran to the violin group.
Even the audience, who originally belonged to the piano group, got tickets for the piano group through various relationships.
The chamber music hall where the violin group is located is the smallest of the three concert halls, which can only accommodate more than 200 people, but because Pei Hongyu played a world-class famous song, it caused strong repercussions on social networks around the world, and even many Jews were deeply moved and launched donations on the Internet, willing to jointly fund Pei Hong's world tour concert performance.
This is what made the violin group, which had the smallest audience, instantly overcrowded, and the entire concert hall was almost ten times more media reporters and photographers than yesterday.
Before the start of the competition, Pei Hongyu's lounge had been surrounded by the media once, and her popularity was high, topping all the players.
When Miyamoto Chaoyang saw this, he was envious and jealous.
She had already checked the information last night, and Pei Hongyu turned out to be an artist under Liao Sang's company, which surprised her, and she had an in-depth discussion with Tokugawa Harumi on this matter, and the latter was also a second monk who was confused.
Liao Yuan's piano skills are already terrifying, and he can even teach such a powerful violinist?
This made Tokugawa Haruaki feel horrified in his heart.
Also horrified was Philip, the director of the Chai Academy.
As soon as he got up this morning, he was told about it by several tutors at the college, and he was a little suspicious of the truth, so with the help of his assistant, he personally read the comments on the Internet - almost all of them were reporting on the "Schindler" incident.
Tracing back to the source, he found the video of the violin group yesterday, and personally watched Pei Hongyu's performance at that time, as well as the sad piano sound in his ears.
Philip was silent.
Although he is over 70 years old, he was born in the 50th year of the last century, in fact, he did not have the opportunity to contact World War II, but since he was a child, he has been exposed to the disasters brought by World War II to the whole mankind, and various memorials, World War II documentaries and legends have clearly recorded the tragedy of that era.
It can be said that Philip is a generation that is very close to the period of World War II.
The people of that era are now already dying, and there are really not many people left in the world......
After watching the video, Philip hoarsely asked, "Is this a piece of music composed by Mr. Liao?"
"According to Ms. Pei, yes, it is the work of Mr. Liao. The assistant replied respectfully.
"Is Peter coming to work?"
He was already waiting in the hall. ”
When Philip heard this, he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, washed up a little, and walked towards the hall.
At this time, the entire concert hall was full of people, and although the event had not started in advance, many audience members had already taken their seats in advance, excitedly exchanging with each other about the "Schindler's List" event launched on the Internet.
After Philip walked into the concert hall, all the students and tutors of the academy stood up and greeted Philip.
At this time, Liao Yuan was smiling with Peter, when he saw Philip walking quickly towards him: "Mr. Liao, can you borrow a step to speak?"
Liao Yuan was a little surprised, and glanced at Peter.
"Yes, Mr. Dean. ”
In the back garden of the chai courtyard, Philip took the crutches from his assistant, and while walking, he asked Liao Yuan: "Schindler's List is your work?"
"Sort of. Liao Yuan said with a smile.
He heard about it, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, what he cared about was Pei Hongyu, this little guy seemed to be extremely sensitive to music, and the tune he inadvertently played two or three times was completely remembered by her.
Tsk, genius!
"Mr. Liao. ”
Philip paused and asked, "Why did you give all the players a high score yesterday?" ”
"Maybe my brain circuitry is different from the other judges. ”
Liao Yuan smiled: "On the road of growth, there should not only be spurs, encouragement may let them go further." ”
Philip looked at Liao Yuan's indifferent smile, and the estrangement in his heart disappeared little by little, replaced by a huge appreciation, "I finally understand why Peter admires you so much, Mr. Liao, I hope that in the next competition, you can actively play your huge role as a judge." ”
After speaking, he happily continued to walk forward on crutches, and after a while, he suddenly turned back, "Oh, there is one more thing. ”
You say. Liao Yuandao.
"I wonder if you would be interested in becoming a music teacher at our school. ”
Philip smiled and said, "During your time as a faculty member, you can get a PhD diploma from our university......"
Chai Academy is one of the world's top ten music schools, and one of the few music colleges in the world that awards doctoral degrees, all of the people who can teach here are music wizards, and those who can obtain the doctoral diploma of Chai Academy enjoy a pivotal position in the international music scene.
Liao Yuan narrowed his eyes.
He looked at the string of Russian words on the building of the Chaiyuan - creating the world with musical notes.
Then he shook his head slowly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Dean, I may not have this honor, thank you for the invitation." ”
