Chapter 17: Witness, Breakthrough

Beating melodies swirl around you.

However, Edward's whole body felt very calm with his eyes closed.

Every time I hit the keys, it seems that I no longer use my consciousness, but completely with my body's instinct.

He could feel the trembling feedback of his hands hitting the keys and the keys, as if it seeped into his soul in his skin, as if he were one with him.

It's an experience that rarely happens.

This is a breakthrough!

And Kennedy was exactly that.

Seems......

The melody and movement are meaningless anymore.

It was as if the world was left with him and Edward, and the two lonely pianos.

That's right......

and Lu Yuan, who was standing in the dark, listening carefully to their music with a baton, and was about to decide whether they would be able to break through their fate this time......

If you can't overpower anyone in terms of skills, techniques, and music, then you can only overpower the other party from the breakthrough of the realm, right?

Both of them want to break through, both want to reach the top!

Then, any affirmation and progress is precious!

Who will admit them?

Lu Yuan!

In this world, there is only Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan has the qualifications to recognize them!

If you say what are the nine great pianists in the world who are recognized as piano masters......

Then, Lu Yuan must be one of them!

The piano is getting faster and faster.

Kennedy and Edward, as if they were mentally in complete sync, began to communicate in the same voice.

And then......

At the same time, sweat appeared on their foreheads.

However, the sweat did not make them feel tired, but they had a feeling of extreme excitement, as if they had climbed the peak.

Equal in all respects.

But......

Everyone feels like the winner in the end.

So, who exactly is the winner?

……………………………………

Judges?

Are you kidding!

Lu Yuan doesn't understand the so-called realm of pianists.

He could only stand in the dark and watch the stage of the Spring Festival Gala seriously, two people with closed eyes were playing this amazing "Wild Bee Flying" with the same speed, the same frequency, and even the same picture of every movement.

Sound pervades the entire stage.

Everyone in the audience, including everyone in front of the screen, felt as if there was a buzzing sound of wild bees flapping their wings around them......

The frequency of playing is terrifying!

Ordinary piano lovers can't hear the difference between these two identical pieces at all, they can only feel the incomparably flying melody and the player who plays the pianist like an afterimage......

However, Liu Jianbin, president of the Huaxia Piano Association, had countless auditory feasts in his mind that he couldn't even describe.

His scalp was numb, and his body was full of goosebumps.

This is the pinnacle of performance, and it can even be said to be the first PK between pianists after the concert in Vienna that shocked the world.

Who wins!

Who loses?

………………………………

Jester stared blankly at the Spring Festival Gala stage.

Uncontrollably, his heart was full of envy and that trace of yearning.

Lu Yuan also called him and invited him to come to the Spring Festival Gala to play together, if there was no accident, he would definitely participate.

But......

Unfortunately, he had a bad cold and never got better.

When Lu Yuan called him, he happened to have a fever, and the family's business had recently ushered in a new peak, so he had to help with a lot of things......

So I had no choice but to give up.

He didn't know what it meant to give up this time, he only knew that he was beginning to regret it at this moment.

Not only him, but even several other pianists couldn't help but feel a sense of regret in their hearts that they didn't know why......

……………………………

In the darkness, the lights gradually lit up where Lu Yuan was standing.

The playing of "Flying Bees" gradually came to an end, and Edward and Kennedy were covered in sweat on their foreheads.

When the last melody fell, the whole stage was filled with applause.

They opened their eyes, glanced at each other at the same time, and then looked at Lu Yuan again.

They were completely unaffected by the applause from the audience, as if neither of them could hear any applause.

There was a hint of longing in their eyes!

They didn't get up and leave the piano because the performance was over.

The lights on the dark side became brighter and brighter, shining on Lu Yuan's white-gloved hand and Lu Yuan's face.

The applause gradually stopped.

The whole stage, and even the whole world, seemed to fall into a brief lull.

This calmness even seems somewhat oppressive.

All the audience looked at Lu Yuan curiously, and they didn't quite understand what Lu Yuan was going to do, and the program list of the Spring Festival Gala only explained "Wild Bee Flying......

Wait a minute!

The Spring Festival Gala program list says that this program is eight minutes, and it is obvious that this version of "Wild Bee Flying" is less than two minutes.

So, what exactly are the remaining six minutes?

Seeing that Edward and Kennedy don't seem to have any intention of leaving the stage, what is Lu Yuan going to do?

What's next?

Could it be......

Lu Yuan personally went out to play?

………………………………

The light slowly becomes gentle, taking on a milky white color.

When the light illuminated Lu Yuan's whole body, everyone realized that Lu Yuan was wearing a black tuxedo.

There is a hint of mystery.

And then......

Under the lens of the eyes of the public.

He suddenly closed his eyes.

The arm slowly lifted slightly, lifted past his forehead, and then slowly stopped......

Motionless!

And then......

Jerked!

As if he heard a very strange sound of breaking the air, Lu Yuan's baton was waved down in an instant......

Seem......

Having mastered the most sacred things, it was as if he had become the most terrible, the most authoritative conductor on the stage.

In a flash!

Edward, who looked at Lu Yuan, instantly shrank his pupils, and his hands appeared on the keys again, and then another melody sounded that seemed to be very unfamiliar, but there was a familiar melody.

This is the melody of Edward's famous work "Autumn Thoughts"!

Wrong!

This is not "Autumn Thoughts", this is the prelude, which is somewhat similar, and the others are completely unfamiliar!

All the piano lovers and pianists in the world were stunned.

What is it?

Halfway through Edward's playing......

Lu Yuan's baton suddenly trembled again, and finally swung at Kennedy on the other side!

Almost at the same time, Edward's piano sound stopped, and Kennedy's piano sound seemed to flow seamlessly......

Liu Jianbin was stunned!

His jaw almost dropped to the ground, and he looked at the two lights in the darkness like hell!

Yes!

At this moment, the lights have become two!

One is Lu Yuan, whose eyes are closed and motionless......

And the other place, it's Edward and Kennedy!

Lu Yuan suddenly waved his baton again, pointing at Edward!

Edward, who was sweating profusely, narrowed his pupils and seamlessly took over Kennedy's piano sound again......

Melody, rhythm, including timbre......

There is no sense of disobedience at all, Liu Jianbin can't hear anything wrong at all, but he can swear with his own life and even his honor that he has never heard this piano music!

This is......

Original?

Or......

Is this improvised, original?

The situation that made Liu Jianbin and the whole world piano community go crazy appeared......

Although Lu Yuan's body was standing motionless, his eyes were still closed like this!

But......

Lu Yuan waved the baton without any pattern at all!

Maybe it's ten seconds, maybe it's five seconds, maybe it's ten seconds......

In a word......

Waving between Edward and Kennedy without warning!

With each swing, the person has to play the melody they've never heard before, and they have to keep the quality of the music itself!

Piano!

It's been completely played by them to the point of madness!

This was an unimaginably crazy moment, so crazy that Liu Jianbin felt difficult to breathe, and Vice President Chen Qingsong was so frightened that he almost fainted.

…………………………

"I originally thought that after the Spring Festival Gala ended, it would be history, but I didn't expect that it would be history now!"

"God, I'm witnessing history!"

"Oh my God, what the hell is Lu Yuan going to do, is he crazy?"

"It's all improvisation, improvisation followed by melody, is this still human?"

"It's about the melody and the tune!"

"Is this really something that people can do? Tell me, this is the effect of the show, it was rehearsed before, right! It must have been rehearsed, definitely!"

“……”

“……”

On the edge of the stage.

After everyone found a reason for the rehearsal, they felt a little better and a little less shocked.

Because, isn't that commonsense?

But......

Li Mingrui's words made everyone crazy again.

"Rehearsed is rehearsed...... However, I used to rehearse to play "Immortal Movement" together, but now ......"

"This piano piece is completely unfamiliar!"

"I don't know if it's Director Lu's intention or why...... In short, they have completely gone out of script!"

"Aren't they afraid of a big mistake?"

“……”

Li Mingrui's eyes can't describe the complexity.

I can't describe the trembling!

He found out that he was really old.

He's too pathetic to take the blow!

He felt that he would never cooperate with Lu Yuan, a madman, in any shows in the future!

He was afraid that his now healthy self would suddenly have a heart attack one day, and then he would be scared to death by Lu Yuan, who killed a thousand knives!

After listening to Li Mingrui's words, the others gasped.

Seems......

Live in your dreams!

………………………………

Irregular command.

Tremendous pressure!

There is absolutely no basis for this......

However, Edward and Kennedy were extremely happy!

The two of them seemed to feel a realm at the same time, a realm like Brando!

Just one step away!

You can break through!

It was at this time......

The two of them saw Lu Yuan's baton tremble at the same time, and then drew a circle!

What does that mean?

The pupils of the two are extremely dilated!

Dazed......

Then, when they saw Lu Yuan's baton wave again, they instantly felt that they understood!

It's time to wrap it up!

The two looked at each other......

Subsequently......

Exhaled deeply......

When the closing melody is played again.

The fingers of the two trembled!

It's like you've entered a realm!

They feel as if they have broken through!

And then......

They played the exact same ending melody at the same time, and this piano piece, it seems, should end like this!

Breakthrough!

History!

Birth!
