Two hours passed, and the concert soon came to an end.

When the last pianist played, to a round of applause, Naoki Ando walked onto the stage and shouted to the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to the Asian American concert, I am the initiator, Naoki Ando." ”

The applause at the scene rang out again.

"In the last two years, there have been many amazing pianists in Asia......"

Naoki Ando listed many well-known pianists, including Lin Weiyin and Liao Yuan in China.

When it comes to Lin Weiyin, as the first prize in the Chopin International Piano Competition, Lin Weiyin's interpretation of Chopin's works has amazed many pianists in the industry.

However, when Liao Yuan was mentioned, many people showed a disdainful look.

"This person is the same as Minamino Shunichi, he came out of the emperor competition, and he will only grandstand. ”

"That being said, Shunichi Minamino immediately turned to classical music after the competition, and his interpretation of classical music is still very good. ”

"That's right, Nanye-kun is much stronger than this Huaxia!"

"I've heard "Rhapsody of War", in fact, Liao's strength should be good. ”

"I don't agree, "Rhapsody of War" is not really classical music, and there is already popular blood in its bones!"

After Naoki Ando mentioned Liao Yuan, there was a lot of discussion on the scene.

The champion of the 2nd One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition, Nanye Shuichi, turned his head and looked at Liao Yuan, who was sitting calmly in the back row for a while, before sighing.

Last year, like Liao Yuan, after gaining great popularity, he participated in some classical pianist gatherings one after another, but he was excluded and criticized in these gatherings, which made him psychologically depressed.

In particular, the higher the popularity, the farther you stand, and after communicating with more and more famous pianists, this depression becomes greater and greater.

Soon, his depression gradually worsened, and he almost had to take sleeping pills to sleep every day.

If given a choice, he would rather not participate in the One Emperor and Four Emperors Competition.

In that case, he can also write theme songs for anime works as before, accept invitations from major supermarkets and shopping malls, and play pop music live.

Although I earn little, I am very happy.

And now, although the performance is paid tenfold or a hundred times more.

But in order to stay worthy, and to keep in touch with those well-known pianists, he had to practice and play classical music all the time.

It's not that he doesn't like classical music, it's just that compared to pop music, he has a lot less joy in creation.

At this time, the friend next to him sneered: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but if this Liao Yuan can turn back like Xiuyi and you, it will not be too late." ”

Shuichi Minamino fell silent.

On stage, Naoki Ando kept smiling, and after recounting the newly rising pianists from Asian countries, he announced the opening of the exchange meeting amid a round of applause.

There is no theme for the exchange meeting, as long as you want to play, you can sit in front of the piano bench and show your style.

However, the exchange meeting was not as simple as the previous rehearsal on stage.

Here, every pianist who plays on the stage must be prepared to be a stepping stone for others.

After all, in the industry, all kinds of piano exchanges have always been the best place for the unknown to become famous.

All around, a number of media reporters have been eyeing each other, and their minds are full of pictures of "dragon fighting" piano fighting - after Shuichi Minamino won the championship last year, in order to squeeze into the high-end circle of classical music, he also kept playing at exchange meetings.

Therefore, in the past year, Shuichi Minamino, who has performed well, has also successfully stabilized his position in the classical world.

No one dares to mention that he is from a pop background.

And this time, the Asian American special session, famous pianists from all over Asia are present, as long as they perform here, they will definitely be able to instantly become famous in the entire classical circle.

It's just that it is precisely because of caution that no one has played for a long time.

These pianists, one by one, pretended not to care, holding champagne, and each smiled and communicated.

But in fact, everyone, out of the corner of their eyes, is glancing at the piano not far away, wanting to see who will be the first to appear on the stage, tragically becoming a stepping stone for others.

Then they saw a young man in a suit wearing only a white shirt, walking up to the piano and sitting down, and began to move his muscles.

People's eyelids jumped slightly.

"Who is this?"

"Hehe, another fledgling young man. ”

"He is Liao Yuan, the A god of the popular circle. ”

"Oh~ It turned out to be him!

"Looking at his confident appearance, he can't want to play pop music, right?

"If it's pop music, that's what makes people laugh out of their big teeth!"

"In fact, there are many people in the Chinese piano circle, Miss Lin Weiyin and Lin are representatives, as well as Meng Han and Gao Feiliu, who are all leaders of the younger generation, much stronger than this Liao Yuan!"

"Whether he's on the field, he can be regarded as self-aware, and he's willing to be a stepping stone for you and me, hehe. ”

The whole exchange meeting was discussed.

When she saw Liao Yuan on stage, Lin Weiyin's lips bit slightly, and she was a little nervous.

Next to her, Fu Xiaoci also woke up from her sleepiness, and when she heard the obviously increased chatter around her, she asked a little strangely, "Miss Lin, what are they talking about?"

Lin Weiyin said: "I'm talking about Mr. Liao." ”

"Oh, they must have admired my brother!"

Fu Xiaoci yawned: "Also, people like my distant brother are fireflies in the dark night......"

Lin Weiyin couldn't cry or laugh.

At this time, the audience was full of discussions.

This kind of scene is a great disturbance for the concert players, which also shows that these pianists do not give Liao Yuan much respect.

Liao Yuan didn't care, he moved his wrist and ten fingers slowly, then put his hands flat on the keys, stepped on the pedal deeply, and began to play slowly.

Although it seems to be slow, when the keys are pressed, the crisp piano sound bursts out like a waterfall.

It's like a cold steel ball sprinkled on the ice surface, with clear grains and bones.

In the corner, there seemed to be a faint green ghost fire, slowly beating.

Everyone felt goosebumps on their skin, and the flickering ghost fire seemed to be moving rapidly, rushing towards their eyes, nose, tongue, mouth, and ears.

There seems to be a shocking power in people's hearts, spreading to the top of their heads.

"This seems to be Liszt's Ghost Fire?"

Someone came back from the shock, and his scalp was numb and said: "Why does he play so heart-wrenching and shocking, could it be that I used to listen to the fake "Ghost Fire"?"
