Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Road Ahead Is Clear

It is not uncommon for players to wear masks on stage, and in previous piano competitions, there is no shortage of such people, most of whom are reluctant to reveal their identities, but want to prove their strength through this kind of competition.

Among them, there are real names, and there are newcomers who pretend to be mysterious, and the official does not prohibit this.

In the first One Emperor Four Emperors Piano Competition, a world-class pianist in the North American region wore a clown mask and joined the competition.

From the beginning of the audition, he passed all the way and became the biggest dark horse of the year, but unfortunately stopped in the top three in the competition area.

After leaving the stage, the player's information was quickly leaked, and although it caused some trouble in his life, during his concert tour, it was a full house, and he became one of the most expensive grand pianists at that time.

But this kind of trick, for the audience, is indeed very fresh at the beginning, and even will win a strong degree of attention, but with the success of the first and second First Emperor and Four Emperors Competition, people have lost patience for more and more players who show their faces, and the requirements for this type of player are naturally infinitely high.

If you don't have a strong body, wearing a mask on the field will only make people cast a harsher gaze, once you can't meet the audience's psychological expectations, it is a sure thing to be eliminated, and there is a certain chance that you will be booed, or attacked by a mineral water bottle.

There is a precedent for this.

In addition, although wearing a mask on the field increases the sense of mystery, it is a small reduction in the emotional appeal.

Like singers and dancers, while expressing their professional abilities, the investment in expressions and the expansion of body amplitude will give the audience a certain degree of shock.

It is worth mentioning that when playing music, you must be committed to real feelings, and your expressions and demeanor should be comfortable and not too pretentious.

If it is just a deduction for the sake of deduction, it will not be an anti-dog, and it will have the opposite effect.

For example, the famous world-class pianist Master Lang Lang in his previous life.

In his early performance career, Lang Lang was often very forgetful when he played the piano, making all kinds of exaggerated expressions, and because of this, the market landed on the cover of music editions around the world.

Liao Yuan knew that it was a manifestation of real affection.

People really like to play the piano, and if they don't touch the piano for a day, they are hot and uncomfortable, and they regard the piano as their life.

This style of playing, which resembles madness and hacking mental retardation, was also unique at the time and was not understood by many people.

But no matter how others slander him, Lang Lang's piano skills are still recognized as a world-class master.

He spoke to the world through a piano, and left his footprints everywhere in the Olympic Games, Grammys, World Cup, Spring Festival Gala stage, etc., and also let the world witness countless classic moments.

But the release of emotions does not mean that it must be presented on the face.

The fingertip rendition is equally impressive.

Even the later Lang Lang, after the playing style became more and more proficient, the style of ungrateful performance like the early days gradually disappeared, just like returning to the basics, and later completely conquered the world with only his hands, and in the mouths of many international piano masters, Lang Lang is also known as the world's top three pianists.

Another example is Horowitz.

He always plays the piano with a poker face and no superfluous body movements, but his playing style is indeed infectious, and he has been called one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century.

In fact, except for a few "expressions", most world-class pianists also put their feelings in their hands.

Therefore, Fu Xiaoci's proposal is completely feasible.

Wearing a mask to play the piano will not affect Liao Yuan's performance too much.

"Let me think about it. ”

After hanging up the phone, Liao Yuan searched for the rules of the Four Emperors on the computer, and after reading them, he fell into thought.

Musicians also need to resonate.

Liao Yuan didn't want to be a lonely performer in his heart, dancing alone in a dark world, no one to appreciate, no flowers, applause, praise, no matter how great his enthusiasm was, he would be burned in loneliness.

He longs to be on stage.

But at the same time as this idea was born, Liao Yuan also hid a huge fear in his heart.

In his previous life, he was ostentatious, and his classics bloomed all over the world through his writings, and then they were coveted.

In the last days of his life, he was kidnapped and sent to an abandoned factory, and for dozens of hours he was in total darkness.

All you can smell is the smelly garbage heap, and all you can hear is the sound of rats eating their food, except for the sound of the wind......

Fear, unspeakable.

In his first life, he already had a vague idea of Taoguang.

But the temptation of fame and fortune seemed to drive him to the abyss of destruction.

In particular, his predecessor's dedication and love for music planted an irresistible seed of temptation in the depths of his soul.

Every time he touches a musical instrument, the hairs on his body will stretch rapidly.

The pleasure from his soul made him addicted to opium.

Liao Yuan turned off the computer, came to the living room, casually turned on the camera mode, lifted the tablecloth, opened the S-277 piano board, and sat down gently.

When the first sound sounds......

It's as if someone is strolling in the depths of their souls, smiling with flowers.

Others sat cross-legged on the ground and pointed to the chessboard and shouted.

There were also people flying in the spotlight, facing the shouts and screams of the 100,000 spectators in the audience, with tears in their eyes and waving their hands vigorously.

But more people walk alone in the dark, like lonely passers-by.

It's just that when they raised their heads, Liao Yuan could see that they looked exactly like himself......

Liao Yuan's hands playing the piano once again wrapped around the void holy light.

The whole room, there is desolation, hope, disillusionment, sadness, blood, war, home, partners, death, blades, dances, and growth.

But I'm no longer me.

I am the prelude to the dawn, the splendor of the sky, the eternal darkness and darkness!

This song is called "last-reunion", and when it sounds, in front of Liao Yuan, a broad avenue, shining and dazzling.

Liao Yuan strode over.

Suddenly, he turned around, stretched out his hand to the child who was sitting on the ground looking at him alone, and said with a smile:

"Brother, the road ahead is clear, you and I will go together, okay?"
