Chapter 143: Living in the Moment
Advancing to the top ten with Liao Yuan also included the living cannon Zheng Lan, the bellflower Yang Jie, the angry sunflower Shi Ruoxiang, and the zero demon who advanced with Liao Yuan in the qualifiers, Xu Ling'er.
Each of these people is the great god of the Huaxia District of Station J, and Shi Ruoxiang and Xu Linger are the best among them.
However, when the lottery began, almost everyone prayed from the bottom of their hearts that they would never run into Uncle A!
In the last top ten competition, Liao Yuan's song "Electromagnetic Cannon" shocked everyone's scalps, and the kind of playing that reached the quasi-performance level almost became a nightmare for all the players present.
In the past, almost every piano piece of Uncle A is like a house, such as "Rhapsody of War" played in the knockout round, as well as "Unravel" and "The Fact of Your Departure" that went viral on the Internet.
With these amazing quality piano pieces alone, Uncle A's fame has completely resounded throughout the domestic music circle, not only major domestic opera houses have thrown olive branches one after another, but even some foreign opera houses have begun to take action to try to reach cooperation with Uncle A.
Therefore, in this year's One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition, Uncle A is definitely the most shining star.
But compared to the trembling of others, the madman Ah Zuo obviously didn't care much about this kind of pressure, and when it was their turn to start playing, he was the first to apply for the first appearance.
The fierce and passionate piano notes stepped on the scales, and they collided with dazzling sparks one after another.
Under the gaze of the 18,000 spectators, Zuo Yongsi's hands played briskly on the piano keys.
This is "Crazy Knife Slash", written by Ah Zuo for the anime adaptation of the same name. ”
Offstage, Zero Zero Demon Xu Ling'er listened attentively for a while, and then analyzed for Liao Yuan next to him: "The difficulty is about level eight, but Ah Zuo obviously has a new adaptation, which makes this song sound more ignition-like." ”
Liao Yuan nodded: "I know." ”
Xu Ling'er said again: "Your hand speed is obvious to all, there are not no great pianists in the whole circle who can compete with you, but they are definitely not here, Ah Zuo is obviously aware of this, I think he wants to win with quality." This "Crazy Knife Chop", because the anime of the same name is popular, so it is also a very familiar song to the public, and from this point of view alone, it will add a lot of points to Azuo. ”
Liao Yuan was surprised: "I see. ”
Seeing that Uncle A was not in high interest in talking, Xu Linger paused before shaking her head and closing her mouth.
Maybe in Uncle A's eyes, "Crazy Knife Slash" is not worth mentioning at all!
However, the audience at the scene obviously bought it very much!
"He is the author of the theme song of "Crazy Knife"!"
"People in Guangdong know him, and he is very famous in Hong Kong!"
"A top student of the Music Department of Chinese University of Hong Kong, he has composed many well-known anime theme songs!"
"However, when you meet Uncle A, count him unlucky!"
"It's a pity!"
Zuo Yongsi could easily detect the commotion of the audience, but on this huge stage, when the lights shone down from the sky, Zuo Yongsi felt that he could forget everything, and only the piano was in front of him.
There is no noise in the ears, no clutter in front of the eyes.
When the music reaches its climax, everyone seems to see a boy in ragged clothes with scarred skin holding a long knife and jumping from a high altitude, which is a famous scene in anime, which makes everyone's blood boil!
"If there is no torch from now on, I will be the only light, madness!
When the song ended, the audience burst into warm applause.
"Come on!"
Fu Xiaoci encouraged.
Liao Yuan nodded, stood up, and waited for Zuo Yongsi to walk off the stage with the cheers of the crowd before he climbed the steps step by step and came to the grand piano placed on the stage.
The stage is huge, almost endless.
There were a lot of audiences, densely packed, and everyone's face showed a light of expectation.
Liao Yuan was dressed in a dark blue suit, and under the white mask on his face, his eyes were like a tiger that had just woken up, and just by raising his head, everyone in the production was silent.
He bent slightly to the audience, then turned around and sat down at the piano.
"Crazy Knife Chop" is a typical hot-blooded anime song, which is almost the same type as "Electromagnetic Cannon" and "Unravel", which makes people's blood boil when they listen to it, and if it is sounded at the climax of the anime plot, it can stir people's hearts even more.
If Liao Yuan comes up with a similar song again, it will be a bit too-for-tat, and it is easy to have a sense of aesthetic fatigue.
So, he took a different path, ready to whisper to everyone, using the piano piece "A -Little- Story" to tell a little story.
Offstage, two floors.
Xi Yun couldn't help but have tears in her eyes when she saw the figure step by step and walk onto the stage.
Even though he was wearing a mask, but they had spent the whole high school together, how could she not see his true face?
"Come on!"
She cried out from the bottom of her heart.
When the smooth sound of the piano sounds, the world seems to fall silent.
Xi Yun replayed scenes from her high school days in her mind, and couldn't help but cry like rain.
What does it feel like to give up someone you like?
It's like a fire that burns down the house you've lived in for a long time, and you look at the wreckage and the ashes of despair, and you know it's your home, but there's no going back.
......
Liao Yuan's arms flew, and the light from his fingertips turned into elves, dancing on the keys, each dance step was accompanied by a smart piano sound, when they intertwined with each other, the sky was full of stars for a while.
Zuo Yongsi, who was sitting in the player's seat, couldn't help but squint his eyes.
He also admires Uncle A's works, but he is not willing to easily give up this opportunity to make himself completely famous, "Crazy Knife Chop" is his first-hand chess piece, and he has more works to come out in the future, competing with Liao Yuan.
But from the current point of view, Liao Yuan's playing is obviously more comfortable than himself, repeating a storyteller, telling the audience one small story after another.
In that story, there are you, me, and them.
For Liao Yuan, life is like a farce, but all this is extremely real, every night in the dead of night, someone will whisper in his ear in his dreams, telling one absurd story after another.
How much he wished that one day, he would suddenly wake up and find that he had just fallen asleep in a class in his third year of high school.
Everything I have experienced now is a dream......
In my dream, I listened carefully, took notes carefully, occasionally overlooked, looked at the playground outside the window, everything was so familiar, and everything was still full of hope......
If......
If he can travel back to high school, Liao Yuan will definitely enjoy life comfortably.
But if not, if.
So now, for the sake of life, for the sake of his family, and for the sake of those who laugh at him, he must live in the present and strive to spell out an era of his own.
