Chapter 148: Pianist
The Golden Bell Award for Chinese Music is a comprehensive professional award in the Chinese music industry co-sponsored by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the China Music Association, and is a national art award alongside the Plum Blossom Award for Drama, the Golden Eagle Award for Television, and the Golden Rooster Award for Film.
The Golden Bell Award piano competition is one of the most authoritative and professional piano competitions in China, and idle piano players are not qualified to compete for the crown of this competition.
It was by virtue of winning the first place in the 4th Golden Bell Award Piano Competition that Tan Shan gradually showed his prominence in the industry.
Huang Guolun said that he also participated in the 4th Golden Bell Award Piano Competition, which made Tan Shan a little confused.
Who are the contestants participating in the 4th Golden Bell Award Piano Competition, Tan Shan remembers very well, these people are now almost all well-known steel frame players in the industry, or professors of the Conservatory of Music, and none of them are unknown.
He couldn't remember that there was Huang Guolun among these people?
Han Yue originally looked down on Huang Guolun, but when she heard that Huang Guolun participated in Tan Shan's Golden Bell Award piano competition in the same year, she was immediately impressed by Huang Guolun.
She was very aware of the weight of the people who could participate in the Golden Bell Award Piano Competition in the industry, and showed a rare smile of admiration on her face, and asked: "Teacher Huang, you have also competed with Teacher Tan, it is really fateful." ”
Huang Guolun hurriedly explained: "No, no, I didn't enter the final stage of the Golden Bell Award. I was still in school at the time, won the first place in our conservatory piano competition, and later represented the school to participate in the peripheral selection of the Golden Bell Awards, but unfortunately my level was not enough, and I was brushed off in the first round. ”
It turned out that this was the case, Tan Shan smiled knowingly, no wonder he couldn't remember that there was such a number one as Huang Guolun among his competitors back then.
Han Yue was a little impressed by Huang Guolun, but Huang Guolun poured cold water on himself, Han Yue said speechlessly: "You didn't make it to the final competition? ”
Cai Yafang felt that Han Yue was habitually looking down on people again, and wanted to help Huang Guolun find some face, and asked, "Teacher Huang, have you won the championship of the piano competition of the Conservatory of Music?
Tan Shan asked with interest: "Are we from the same school?
Huang Guolun said a little embarrassed: "I'm not from CCTV, I'm from Huaxia Conservatory of Music." ”
"Huaxia Conservatory of Music?" Tan Shan was stunned, he had never heard the name of this conservatory at all.
Han Yue had heard of this unpopular conservatory, and asked Huang Guolun in disbelief: "Are you talking about the Huaxia Conservatory of Music in Wolf Fang?"
Huang Guolun said calmly: "Yes, that's it, our school can't compare with Yangyin." ”
Han Yue almost didn't laugh when she heard this, and thought to herself that this broken school is still compared to China's top music school, Yangyin?
This Teacher Huang actually graduated from that kind of garbage music school, you can imagine how high the upper limit of his level is.
Such a person, don't even blow Zhao Jing into a super musical genius, Han Yue feels like an idiot when she thinks about it, she actually stumbles with Zhao Jing for a long time, she really eats too much salt - idle!
Huang Guolun can sense that this cold female music teacher of CCTV looks down on his alma mater, and it is no wonder that it is strange that a tall music school like CCTV can look down on their kind of music school that cannot be squeezed into the third-rate music school.
But Huang Guolun doesn't feel inferior because he is from Huayin, he just doesn't talk about this topic with Han Yue anymore.
He turned to Tan Shan and said: "The piano competition of the Golden Bell Awards that year was in Wolf Fang, so our school leaders paid special attention to it, and we had to choose a champion among our students to compete, and then I was pushed out." But I didn't even touch the door of the Golden Bell Award before it was brushed down. ”
Han Yue was speechless when she heard this, and said in her heart Isn't this nonsense! Just because you are a third-rate conservatory student, you still want to compete for the highest Golden Bell Award piano competition in China, it's just whimsical!
Huang Guolun continued: "But I watched the final competition of the Golden Bell Awards. Mr. Tan, you played "La San" in the finals, which can be said to be amazing. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time in a domestic piano competition that someone has used such a difficult piece to participate. ”
Tan Shan listened to Huang Guolun speak frankly, and had a good impression of Huang Guolun, he did not mean to show off or be smug, and said modestly: "I was young and vigorous at the time, and the opponent I faced was too strong, so I had to take out "La San" to participate in the competition. Now that I think about it, it was really scary to use "La San" to compete at that time. If I hadn't resisted the pressure, I would have fallen into the abyss from which I would never recover. ”
Han Yue raised Tan Shan: "Can you not be so modest." Didn't you resist the pressure? In the later concerts, you would play "La San" almost every time. In the domestic piano world, you should be the one who plays "La San" the most and is also the best performer. ”
"Awesome, awesome. Huang Guolun knows the horror of "La San", and can't help but praise Tan Shan again and again.
Cai Yafang watched Tan Shan play "La San" at the scene, and also knew how perverted this piano piece was, and then praised: "I don't watch much piano recitals, but I have seen Lang Lang and them, and I have never seen them perform "La San" at the concert. Mr. Tan, I have only seen "La San" at your piano recital. You should be unique in China when you play "La San". ”
"Don't. Tan Shan didn't know whether he was modest, or he said in his heart: "I have a piano recital now, and I have to play "La San" every time I am given by your music fans. If I had to choose for myself, I really wouldn't want to play "La Three" anymore. ”
"Why?" Zhao Jing asked curiously: "Isn't it the best in China that you play this tune, why don't you want to play it?"
Zhao Yan guessed on the side: "Because you are tired of playing?"
The sisters' understanding of classical music is still in the initial stage, and they don't know what kind of song "La San" is.
Tan Shan smiled bitterly and told them the reason: "It's not that I'm tired of playing, it's that "La San" is too torturous. ”
Zhao Jing couldn't help but ask: "What is this "La San"? Is it the name of the piano piece?"
"yes. Huang Guolun replied for Tan Shan: "The full name of "La San" is "Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3". ”
"What a long name. Zhao Yan's brain was a little short-circuited, and he asked a super white question: "Who wrote this?"
Huang Guolun, Tan Shan, Han Yue, and Cai Yafang all looked at Zhao Yan with surprised eyes.
Zhao Jing was smart, and immediately thought of it, and laughed at Zhao Yan: "Sister, you are such an idiot, I said that this piece is called "Rachmaninov Piano Concerto", it must have been written by Rachmaninoff...... Right, Mr. Huang?" Zhao Jing couldn't be sure, so she asked Huang Guolun half-understandingly.
Huang Guolun nodded with a smile and said, "Named after him, he must have written it." ”
Zhao Yan was so embarrassed, he picked up the coffee cup and said shamefully: "It's a shame to show your cowardice." ”
Zhao Jing laughed at Zhao Yan unrelentingly: "You often show timidity, sister, we have long been used to it." ”
Tan Shan, Cai Yafang and others were all amused.
Zhao Yan reluctantly argued with Zhao Jing: "It's as if you don't often show your timidity, who do you know Rakhnimanov?"
"Poof. ”
Zhao Yan's name made Huang Guolun laugh even more.
Zhao Yan was laughed at by this group of people and asked, "What's wrong, what did I say wrong?"
Cai Yafang told Zhao Yan with a smile: "People call Rachmaninov, not Rachnimanov." ”
Zhao Jing laughed and said: "Haha, don't say it if you don't understand, it's really embarrassing!"
Zhao Yan blushed and raised the bar with Zhao Jing: "You know it, you know this...... Rachmaninoff?"
"Of course I ...... I don't know it. Zhao Jing diverted the topic and asked Tan Shan: "This person can write "La San", it should be very powerful, right?"
Tan Shan introduced Zhao Jing: "Rachmaninov is a Russian classical music composer, pianist, and conductor. His compositions are deeply influenced by Tchaikovsky, has a deep foundation in folk music, rich melodies, and is good at epic and magnificent music style, his main works are "La II", "La III", as well as "Paganini Theme Rhapsody", 24 preludes, music and painting etudes and so on. The most famous of these is probably La San, a piano concerto that is considered the most difficult work in the classical piano world to perform because of its difficult difficulty. ”
Zhao Jing said adoringly: "Brother Tan, you can play the most difficult piano music in the world to be second to none in China, it seems that you are much more powerful than I imagined! You are also a super musical genius!"
Tan Shan shook his hand and said: "I'm not a super musical genius, I play "La San" mainly to sell coolies, and I have practiced hard. ”
Huang Guolun praised: "You are too modest, Mr. Tan, it is amazing that this song "La San" can be played in its entirety. You've also been able to perform this piece multiple times at concerts, which is truly remarkable. ”
Zhao Jing asked rhythmically: "Mr. Huang, can you play "La San"? Why don't you sacrifice your ugliness and go outside on the piano to play "La San" for us to open our eyes?"
Huang Guolun hurriedly said: "I can't play "La San", this song is not something that ordinary people can play. ”
Zhao Jing was shocked and said, "This song is so difficult, you can't even play it?"
Huang Guolun said with certainty: "I really can't play." ”
Seeing that Huang Guolun confessed, Han Yue showed her trademark cold smile, and once again felt that this unsurprising high school music teacher was not enough.
However, this uncle has an advantage, that is, he is quite self-aware, unlike the big-chested and brainless Zhao Jing, who doesn't understand anything, but always likes to speak wildly.
Han Yue really wanted to see Huang Guolun's true strength at this time, and see how many catties and taels this legendary super music genius had.
If you can slap Zhao Jing in the face on the spot, it would be great.
