Chapter 506: The Great Contest is coming
The piano fight between Maxim and Liu Yufan was just a small turmoil-1, although it attracted the attention of many players at the time, but it didn't take long for this matter to be like a pebble thrown into the calm sea, and after some waves, it calmed down.
Although there are also many contestants who are very interested in Liu Yufan's "Exodus" that day, but the competition is imminent, these people don't have so much time and energy to pay too much attention to this thing. After all, the quadrennial Liszt Cup International Piano Competition is a very important event for these contestants. In contrast, a guy who plays pop music loses to a Chinese in a private competition, which is just an after-dinner conversation.
However, for Maxim himself, it was an extremely important day.
In the next two days, he took the time to be with Liu Yufan, according to his words, since he signed the agreement, he must know more about this "new boss" and think about his future.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable at first, Maxim is not a person who can't afford to let go after all, and since he promised Liu Yufan, he will not go back on his word. However, in the process of contact with Liu Yufan, Maxim found that this new boss was far from what he felt at the beginning, and he would only play some "conspiracy". His insights on the piano, especially the development trend of popular pianos, also impressed Maxim. Especially when he handed him a set of scores for the "Piano Music of the Night" series of casual pianos, he was even more surprised. Maxim thought he knew enough about the pop piano. But when he arrived in front of Liu Yufan, he found that this young man's understanding of pop piano was far above him! Not for anything else. Just this set of twelve "Piano Pieces of the Night" series is worthy of Maxim's admiration.
And on the side of Legend Entertainment, under Liu Yufan's special orders. The efficiency of the work is also quite high. Jiang Ya, who is gradually getting started with the company's business, is absolutely implementing Liu Yufan's opinion, although Jiang Ya is slightly distressed about the fact that Maxim's transfer from DG requires the company to pay nearly one million US dollars in liquidated damages. But she knew that Yu Fan must have a reason for doing this. When the two of them ran the wedding company in Fu'an together, Jiang Ya knew that this child was not an ordinary person, what he did. Although it seemed strange at the time, it turned out to be true in hindsight. Because of this, Jiang Ya has an almost unconditional trust in Liu Yufan.
Maxim was also surprised that the other party had completed his transfer procedures so quickly, and at the same time had some confidence in Legendary Entertainment, a company he had not seen before. No matter what. He is now a big name, and he can handle his transfer so quickly, this company still has a certain strength.
In the next two days, Liu Yufan and Maxim went all out to prepare for the Liszt Cup. In the meantime, nothing has happened.
However, that Berezovsky, after Liu Yufan signed Maxim, chatted with Liu Yufan twice in private, and the implication was that he wanted to cooperate with Liu Yufan. It's just that Liu Yufan is also busy with the game now, although he also has some ideas, but he has to postpone it. Right now, the Liszt Cup International Piano Competition is the most important thing.
In this way, two days were spent in intense practice. Even Maxim was received by him as a "disciple", and the chubby female administrator Marie naturally would no longer embarrass him and those Chinese players, and these piano rooms were not full every day, so Liu Yufan and the others would not be without a piano to practice in the past two days. Although for them, the practice at the moment is just a "hot hand", it is still very important. …,
Two days later, the Utrecht City Music Centre.
Streamers and balloons can be seen everywhere in the square to set off a festive atmosphere, and several small bands are improvised in the corner, surrounded by many local citizens and music lovers from all over the world.
More than 130 professional music, entertainment reporters and news reporters from all over the world are also scattered in the square at the moment, looking for contestants everywhere to interview. The quadrennial Liszt Cup International Piano Competition can be said to be a grand event in the piano world, and the entertainment media of various countries attach great importance to this competition. In particular, in order to show the importance of these races, the Dutch national television even sent four state-of-the-art live broadcast vehicles to broadcast the whole process of the races.
At about 8 o'clock in the morning, the players began to come to the scene one after another. Most of them are easy to recognize, and many of them are wearing black tuxedos with the number plate of the contestants on one side of the clothes. Of course, there are some players with different personalities who wear casual clothes, but they have number plates on the corners of their clothes that make them easy to recognize.
Most of these players were accompanied by someone, some were one or two, some were three or five, some exaggerated, and even brought more than a dozen escorts.
Shunichi Tengmura took a scarf handed over by the beautiful female assistant Ezuko, and lowered his head around his neck. Around him, there were at least six or seven bodyguards. This minority shareholder of Sony Corporation will never forget his "honorable" identity anywhere.
Shunichi Tengmura is in good spirits today, and it seems that he has forgotten about the loss of five million dollars some time ago. Looking at the music center not far away, a confident smile appeared on his face.
"Hmph, wait, the champion of this Liszt Cup must be my Teng Village Shunichi!" There was a subtle smile on his somewhat feminine face, and looking at a few reporters running over, the smile on Teng Cunjun's face became brighter and brighter.
"Hello, excuse me, are you a player participating in this Liszt Cup?" Among the several reporters gathered around, one of them had the words "Gramophone" printed on the microphone, a reporter from Gramophone, an old and authoritative music magazine in the United Kingdom. Seeing him come to interview him, Teng Cunjun's smile became even bigger.
"Yes, that's right." Teng Cun Junyi nodded at the reporter, revealing a very cultivated attitude.
"What do you call it, and where do you come from? If I'm not mistaken, you're probably a mud bombard. The reporter asked.
"That's right, Mr. Reporter, your instincts are accurate. My name is Shunichi Tengmura and I'm from Toshijing City, Mudbomb Country. Teng Village said with a smile.
"We heard that one of the judges of this year's Liszt Cup Piano Competition is Mr. Jean Hisaishi, a famous composer from your country, are you familiar with him?" It was the same reporter who asked.
"Oh, this Mr. Hisaishi Jean you are talking about, he is my teacher." Teng Cun Junyi nodded slightly at the reporter and said, his face full of pride.
"Oh? Is it? Are you a student of Master Jean Hisaishi? Then your piano level must be very high, do you have any confidence to achieve good results in this competition? What are you aiming for? The reporter apparently felt that he had dug up a big piece of news, and asked with some excitement.
"Hehe, since I'm here, of course I'm here for the championship. I believe that our piano level is the best in this one. Teng Village Shunichi said proudly.
"It seems that you are very confident, and I wish you the best of luck in the competition!" The Gramophone reporter wasted no time in slapping a little sycophant. The other party is Hisaishi's identity as a master student, which makes this reporter unconsciously respect him a little more. …,
"Okay, thank you!" Tengmura nodded gracefully at the reporter as a token of gratitude. But when he looked up, his eyes flashed sharply, as if he had seen something extremely hateful. Next, he apologized to the reporter slightly, then pulled away and walked aside.
Over there, there were four contestants in black tuxedos similar to him, chatting and laughing. Obviously, no journalists have noticed what they are doing here.
However, when they saw Teng Mura Shunichi walking over, these people seemed to be aware, and one of the men, who was slightly taller than Teng Mura Shunichi, was squinting at him, with a smile on his face, and he didn't seem surprised that he came over.
"Liu Yufanjun, we meet again!" Teng Cun Junyi came to Liu Yufan, with a hint of a smiling expression on his face, and greeted him in a low voice, but there was a trace of hatred in that tone!
Can you not hate? This guy won himself five million dollars in one hand, five million, that's almost a year's income for him, and now it's gone. This is not the most important thing, what is more important is that this young man, who caused him to lose face in front of everyone, has been pampered since he was a child, and he has not been wronged, when did he suffer this kind of anger? Seeing Liu Yufan standing in front of him, Teng Cun Jun couldn't wait to kill him immediately!
"Yes, Mr. Teng Cun, you don't look good today, don't you have a good rest at night? Pay attention to your body and don't affect the game. Liu Yufan said with a smile. The smile on his face made Teng Village Shunichi feel the urge to go crazy.
"Hehe, I'm fine, thank you for your concern. You too, when you go out alone, you must pay attention to safety. Teng Cun Shunichi said "with concern", but there was a strong threat in his words.
"Yes, so will you. The security here doesn't seem to be very good, and two days ago, I met a few dogs who wanted to pounce on me and bite me, but fortunately, I drove them away," Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Really? Hehe, that's good, you can keep this good luck forever! Teng Village Shunyi, who was told by Liu Yufan that he was in the sore spot, had cold eyes and said coldly. (To be continued) RQ
