"Awesome!" Seeing Lang Lang walking down from the stage, several Chinese players, including Liu Yufan, greeted him with a smile and extended a thumbs up at the same time. Lang Lang's performance just now is indeed outstanding. Even in the rematch where the strong players are like clouds, he is still so eye-catching. But half of it is his technique, and the other half is his exaggerated playing style. But it's clear that the audience is very buying this style.

"Hehe, it's okay. By the way, Yufan, it'll be yours in a while, go and prepare. Lang Lang sat next to Liu Yufan and said with a smile. There was still a hint of excitement in his tone, and it was clear that he hadn't quite come out of the game just now.

"Hehe, don't worry, it's not too late to watch two more games, my order is relatively low." Liu Yufan said.

"Alright, I'm going up first, good luck to me." Li Yundi, who was sitting behind the two people, stood up and said to a few people with a relaxed smile. This guy's personality is a little boring, and Lang Lang is completely two extremes. But in the past few days, I have mixed with everyone, and I finally got some familiarity with it, and I learned to make some little jokes. This also allowed him to slowly begin to be accepted by this temporary small group.

“goodluck！” Lang Lang stretched out his thumb at Li Yundi and said with a smile.

Watching Li Yundi disappear backstage, Liu Yufan sighed with emotion. The strength of the semi-finalists far exceeded his expectations. At the beginning, in the preliminary round, these people's performance was relatively average, but now they have exhausted their tricks. It seems that these people are also very familiar with the rhythm of the game, and they didn't show their strength too much at the beginning.

It also made him feel a lot of pressure. All the time. The opponents he met at home were all significantly different from him, especially on campus. It's almost impossible to meet an opponent of the same level. This also directly led to his somewhat arrogant mood. But when he arrived at this top stage, he really realized what it means to have people outside the world and heaven outside the sky. Compared with these people, his own level can only be said to be comparable. If it is said that who can win the final victory of the game in the end, it depends not only on strength, but also on some luck.

Not far from them, the mud bombardment contestant Teng Mura Shunichi looked at them coldly, and secretly sneered in his heart.

"Hmph, a bunch of hypocrises. It's clear that they are competitors to each other, but they are still here pretending to wish each other, what do you wish? Do you want to congratulate the other party on snatching away your championship? Teng Village Shunichi snorted coldly.

His mood in the past two days has also been extremely unhappy. On the one hand, of course, because of the $5 million thing. Now he has hated this kid called Liu Yufan. Although losing the game is a matter of his inferior skills, he doesn't think like this in his heart. Now he is holding back his heart and wants to take a good look at Liu Yufan. The attack he had carried out a few days ago was unexpectedly disrupted by another group of mysterious guys. After inquiring later, he also determined the identity of those people, but they were Berezovsky's bodyguards, and he just happened to catch up that day. This Liu Yufan's luck is really good. And this guy doesn't seem to be stupid either. After encountering such a situation, I don't know how he persuaded Berezovsky, and actually let those bodyguards provide him with protection. In this way, it becomes a little difficult for me to directly find someone to teach Liu Yufan a lesson. Fortunately, Tengmura Shunichi is not a guy with thick nerves who only knows how to use force. Through his own connections, he has found out that Liu Yufan has a company in China, which is engaged in entertainment content. And the Sony company where he works also happens to have a big say in entertainment, which makes him snicker in his heart.

"Liu Yufan, I can't move you now, wait for the end of the game to watch, when the time comes, I will go to China in person and greet you well." Teng Cun Junyi looked at the back, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. …,

However, remembering an incident that his teacher, Hisaishi Jean, had told him two nights before, Teng Village Shunichi felt a little inexplicably annoyed. came to participate in the competition by himself, naturally for the championship, and now that he heard that DG was going to engage in such a method, Teng Mura Junyi was extremely unhappy in his heart. I just watched that Valodos playing, and although it was really good, it was far from that level if it was too much for him to admire. It's just that although Teng Village Shunichi is unwilling, he doesn't have a good way. He was able to get this news in advance, because his relationship with Hisaishi was extremely unusual. After all, as one of the shareholders of Sony, Shunichi Tengmura was able to give his teacher some help in record distribution, concert arrangement, and media. This also makes the relationship between the two people not only as simple as teacher and student, but also has some implications of mutual "cooperation".

Fortunately, Teng Village Shunichi is not the kind of person who can't afford to let go, he is not exactly a simple pianist himself, more often he is a businessman, and in the case of understanding that things cannot be done, he has now begun to give up this and begin to pursue the maximization of profits. He has already put pressure on the organizing committee of the competition through his teacher Jean Hisaishi, ready to give him a relatively high score as much as possible, and at the same time arrange a special reward that is not in the ranking. And this competition itself was not fair and just, and the group of people in the organizing committee were also a little empty in their hearts, and when they heard the request conveyed by Hisaishi, coupled with the "benefits" given to them by Teng Village Shunichi, they tacitly arranged it at the moment.

A competition that is rumored in the outside world and has such a high reputation, but there are these dirty transactions hidden in it, I wonder how a player like Liu Yufan who reports a simple purpose to participate in the competition will feel?

There was a burst of warm applause, and Liu Yufan looked up, but it was another contestant who walked onto the stage.

Seeing this little fat man who looked a little happy, Liu Yufan's eyes were fixed. Because he's all too familiar with this guy. This is the most popular modernist pianist in the United States - Valodos.

Liu Yufan's familiarity with him is naturally due to his extremely famous variation of "Turkish March". This work by Mozart, full of elegance and sophistication, has been transformed into a purely virtuosic piece full of modern and sensual melodies, but many young music fans have listened to it like crazy, and even this piece has become a trend throughout the country. Many powerful music lovers have imitated it, and this trend has even affected overseas. Liu Yufan has seen Wang Yujia play this song in his spare time. He was very impressed by the exaggerated style and the flying hands full of keyboards.

However, this time, because he was participating in the Liszt Cup, Valodos naturally did not play his famous "Turkish March", but in the semi-finals, he chose the most famous "Hunting" among the 12 super technique etudes of Liszt!

Sure enough, it's Valodos's style! The pursuit of extreme technique and absolute visual impact in performance. He seems to want to use dazzling and dizzying rapid movements to make those audiences and judges look stupid directly!

Sitting in front of the piano, Valodos seemed very casual, but the moment his hands actually touched the keys, the ten fingers immediately began to "go crazy" in front of the keys!

What a showmanship that is. The movement of the fingers was so fast that they couldn't see the trajectory, as if by magic, and people only heard a stream of sound flowing out like a tide along the convincing finger movements, filling everyone's eardrums! The Hunt was originally an extremely gorgeous, ostentatious, and technically difficult work, and these characteristics seem to be infinitely magnified by Valodos's performance! …,

Valodos is indeed a tech stream! Such a difficult piece of music seems to be as light as a weight under his hands. Don't look at the fact that the song is going on very intensely at the moment, but there is a hint of indifference on his face, as if such a difficult piece of music can't affect him at all. The movements of his arms are not very big, but the thick fingers give people a sense of strength. Although playing the piano does not have much influence on personal figure, fat people actually have a certain advantage in this regard. Especially when playing such high-speed tunes, fat people always seem to have stronger physical strength than the average person, and the notes they play always seem to be stronger and more mellow. It's a congenital condition. The fat man's fingers are thicker, and the "meat pads" on the fingertips are thicker, and the timbre that comes out is naturally "stable" and "thicker".

However, there is another unknown reason why Valodos was able to play so calmly, but only he understood it in his own heart.

Because he's a player from DG!

He has the confidence that DG is the best company in the record industry, and he is the best young pianist in the company, and he is confident that he will win such a competition!

And in the contact in the previous preliminary round, it also confirmed his thoughts. Although the level of these people is also very good, it is still a little worse than him Valodos!

And in the semi-finals, he finally came up with his ultimate strength and confirmed his strength with this "Hunting"!

"Tremble under the sound of my harp!" Valodos played with all his heart, his fingers flying across the keys of the Great Stanway, with a great sense of self-defeat.

"This Valodos is crazy!" This is the first thought in the minds of many people after seeing him play.

And the judges were a little stunned when they watched Valodos' performance. Before, they only knew that this was a player named by DG Company who needed to be "taken care of", but they didn't expect that his own strength was so strong!

But this is better, the stronger Valodos, the less pressure they will have in their hearts when they "take care". Watching Valodos' performance, the expressions on the faces of many of the judges suddenly relaxed.
