Wang Lu, a piano teacher at the School of Continuing Education of the Central Conservatory of Music, is Chinese New Year's Eve six years old today and has more than ten years of piano teaching experience, which can be regarded as the main force of young and middle-aged teachers at the Central Conservatory of Music.

This year, he received a strange phone call from a student who had taken several classes with him, but it was not an ordinary student, but a student of the CEO of a multi-billion listed company. The other party asked him to use instant messaging on the Internet to be the referee for an impromptu piano competition. He had been a piano teacher for so many years, and it was the first time he had encountered such a strange request.

However, the labor fee of 10,000 yuan was enough for him to forget the strangeness of this matter. After all, just over ten minutes, listening to two tunes, you can easily get such a sum of money, even if it is a teacher at the Central Conservatory of Music, who is known for its high tuition fees, it is not often encountered.

Open the penguin software, connect to the account designated by the other party, and soon the voice communication is established, and there is a chaotic background sound inside. Wang Lu frowned, it was not easy to hear who was good and who was bad under such conditions. He didn't understand why the other party didn't turn on the camera by the way.

At the same time as Wang Lu, there were two other piano teachers from the Central Conservatory of Music, namely Li Zhong and Ma Shengnan, these two are Wang Lu's colleagues, and they usually come and go a lot, so they also recognize Wang Lu's rich student, and the two of them half-jokingly asked Wang Lu to chase the rich woman, but obviously Wang Lu didn't mean that. Those who teach piano are still somewhat arrogant, and they are not the kind of people who can't walk when they see a rich woman.

Hundreds of miles away. In Qinhai City, in the VIP No. 1 private room of Datang International Hotel, this unique game has kicked off with the coins tossed by the waiter.

At the moment when the waiter opened his palm, the shining front was seen by Chu Yang and the Sultan at the same time, and then the Sultan glanced at Chu Yang lightly, turned around and walked towards the stage.

The wide smock hula-hula looks like an artist's bearing. The moment he pulled out the piano bench and sat in front of the piano, the Sultan's whole person immediately exuded a confident domineering!

She has worked in the piano department of West China Conservatory of Music for more than 20 years, from an ordinary teacher all the way to the position of director. During this period, I don't know how many students Lu Dao has taught to him. How many performances have she participated in, and a small scene like today's is simply a small meaning for her!

Although she signed a big bet contract with Chu Yang, for her. Once the game is lost. It's almost like selling yourself to Chu Yang. But the Sultan never thought he would lose.

This "Fantasy Improvisation". Chu Menghan can't play, it doesn't mean that she can't play either, but Sultan graduated from the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music. Although I didn't become everyone, my professional foundation is still hard!

"Three judges, please note that the No. 1 contestant has been prepared, and the competition starts now." A temporary host said into the microphone. His voice was clearly transmitted to the homes of the three piano teachers in Yanjing through the Internet through professional audio equipment.

Suddenly, Wang Lu, Li Zhong and Ma Shengnan had solemn faces and began to listen carefully.

The repertoire has already informed them that each of them is very familiar with the work "Fantasy Improvisation", and understands every detail, and it is really easy for them to be a judge for this work, and even a little overkill.

"Boom!" The Sultan's left hand landed heavily on the keys, and suddenly a heavy chord sounded!

Compared with when Chu Menghan played just now, this chord was obviously heavier and more powerful than what she played, but it didn't sound like a little noise, but it gave people a very heavy and transparent feeling!

After the chord, the Sultan's left hand fluctuated slightly on the keys, and a short arpeggio like a wave sounded.

At the same time, the right hand, which had been lying quietly on the keys before, suddenly moved!

The big movement of the fingers flying up the right hand brings up a string of torrent-like melodies, clear and smooth, and gorgeous!

Through the Internet, the sound of the piano was transmitted simultaneously to Yanjing, hundreds of miles away, and the headphones or stereos of the three teachers of the Central Conservatory of Music.

Wang Lu quietly closed his eyes, savoring the "Fantasy Improvisation" that he was very familiar with.

Just listened to the beginning, Wang Lu had a judgment.

This is a professional pianist, not only professional, but also skilled, experienced and meticulous. The treatment of a few subtle places is the academic treatment of the authentic Central Conservatory of Music, and they can hear it.

"The pedals are used properly, the sound is layered, and the basic skills of the right hand are also very good, and this "Fantasy Improvisation" can be scored 90 points." Wang Lu's heart secretly wondered. He also teaches piano, and whether a piece is good or bad, you can naturally listen to it on your ears. Wang Lu believes that even if the students of those majors in the academy play this piece, they may not be better than this person. Maybe you can do it in terms of skills, but the taste of proficiency and sophistication that comes out of it is not something that those students who have just entered the school can do!

"This person is supposed to be a piano teacher?" Listening to the performance, Wang Lu actually guessed the identity of the Sultan!

In fact, it was not only he who had this idea, but two other colleagues also had similar suspicions, and it was really the Sultan's playing technique, with the rigor that is characteristic of too many piano teachers. It can be said that from the perspective of teaching, this "Fantasy Improvisation" can't find any obvious faults.

Back to the scene.

Several people listened to the Sultan's performance with different expressions.

Jiang Hao's face was full of pride, the Sultan's performance at the moment, even he, a layman who didn't know how to play the piano, could hear it, compared to the female student she had before, it was much stronger. Moreover, the Sultan's performance was domineering, and with this momentum alone, Jiang Hao felt that Chu Yang had no way to compare with it. Look at the style of others, sit in front of the piano, that is the demeanor of a master, where is a hairy boy like Chu Yang compared?

Chu Menghan watched the teacher's performance, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes. It was the first time she had seen the teacher play such a powerful tune, and listening to Mr. Su's "Fantasy Improvisation", she realized how bad she had just played. But she was not discouraged at all, but felt very proud!

"Hmph, Chu Yang, I asked you to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, now you know that the Dao is amazing, right? Compared with Mr. Su? People from the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music! Chu Menghan sneered in his heart.

Another student, Ma Tie, didn't speak, but just watched the teacher's performance intently, with a look of eagerness and excitement flashing in his eyes. Unlike Chu Menghan's clever and well-behaved, Ma Tie is a student who only knows how to practice the piano, and he doesn't know much about these workarounds, but because of this, he can't think about it at all when he practices, but he is the most powerful boy in the piano department of the entire West China Academy. Otherwise, with his character, the Sultan would not have brought him here.

Tang Hong listened to the Sultan's performance, and a look of admiration flashed in his eyes. She is a knowledgeable person, so she naturally knows the song of Lu Dao, and this Professor Su plays it very well. At this time, Tang Hong couldn't help but be a little worried about Chu Yang. Although she has seen Chu Yang's piano skills, but as far as this song is concerned, Tang Hong really doesn't know if Chu Yang can beat the Sultan, after all, in her ears, the Sultan has played this song so well that she can hardly find fault with it.

The rapid Allegro ends, and the whole piece enters the soft adagio section, which the Sultan plays so well that she doesn't even need to look down at the keys, and the melodic of the Adagio flows smoothly from her fingertips as her hands rise and fall.

However, this slow board made Chu Yang shake his head when he heard it.

"Cooked is cooked, but unfortunately there is no taste. Alas, I thought it was a challenging game, but now, I'm a little disappointed. Chu Yang touched his nose and thought.

"I'm in a hurry!"

"It's better to go slower."

"It's a little less flavorful here."

Almost at the same time, the three interim judges, who were hundreds of kilometers away, were also keenly aware of this.

There is often a misconception among amateur piano enthusiasts that the faster the piece, the more difficult it is, but few people know that those places that need to be processed at a very slow tempo and express delicate and soft emotions are actually no less difficult to play well than those places where the allegro is played. The fast place only needs enough skill to play decently, but the slow place wants to play the "taste", but the old pianist knows that to a certain extent, artistic accomplishment is often more important than skill.

The next performance is still very accurate, but this kind of performance falls on the ears of these three professional judges, that is, it stays at the level of "no obvious faults", although it is also very good, but students of this level, in the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music, grasp a lot, but there is nothing that makes their eyes shine.

Three minutes later, the Sultan's performance ended, and according to Tang Hong's request, the three judges will score on the spot through the Internet, while one judge will comment on the Sultan's performance.

The comment was Wang Lu, which was basically a routine, and said two sentences, "The performance is very professional, the skills are in place, and the place of the adagio needs to be carved well, etc., and the sultan couldn't help nodding his head." She has heard of these three teachers, although the Sultan is older than them in terms of seniority, but the shadow of the famous tree, the teacher of the Central Conservatory of Music, is naturally qualified to comment on her performance, and what they say is indeed on the point, and she is also convinced.

In the end, the Sultan scored a score of 54 points, which is a high score of 20 points and 60 points for each of the three judges.

After the review, the Sultan walked off the small stage, and Chu Yang came on the field! (To be continued......)
