Chapter 202: A Great Victory (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
"Bang Bang!"
At the end of the song, when Hikaru Kurosawa stood up, he was greeted by thunderous applause.
Standing in front of the piano, he looked back and saw the audience, all of them were extremely enthusiastic reactions, and there was also a sense of pride in his heart.
This scene is very similar to the dream he had at the beginning.
The dream is shining into reality at this moment.
Sitting on stage and performing and enjoying people's recognition and love is a very enjoyable moment.
Maybe some people can achieve fame and fortune, but those are very few people.
Most people like to be famous, enjoy the feeling of being sought after, recognized, and praised.
"Sure enough, she loved the piano piece."
Hikaru Kurosawa saw Chizuru Ninomiya and found that the corners of her eyes were a little red, obviously extremely moved, and even about to cry, very happy.
In the group chat last night, he deliberately did not directly say the name of the new track, but chose to keep it secret, just for her surprise at this moment.
In fact, even if he told Runa Igarashi in the group chat last night that the name of the new track didn't make sense.
Because "Adelina by the Water" does not exist in this world, he will be the first to interpret and play this piece.
Perhaps this piece, in terms of difficulty in playing and practical significance, is not as good as Liszt's "Bell".
But as a romantic piano piece, as a love song, it has a lot of significance.
Especially for Chizuru Ninomiya, who has a dating experience in Aji Valley, there is absolutely no piano music that can be compared to "Adelina by the Water".
After paying attention, he also glanced at it and saw a small group of hot girls sitting in the back position.
"Does Yuki Koda like it too?"
Seeing the sweet smile on the corner of Yuki Ichinose's mouth, Hikaru Kurosawa's heart was also a little happy.
"Adrina by the water, this will definitely be an epoch-making work!"
The judges on the judging bench were also completely impressed by him at this moment and were shocked.
If you say that Liszt's "Bell" shows the technique of the piano at zero hour.
So this song "Adelina by the Water" shows the talent of composition.
In this world, the vast majority of pianists are sought after by virtue of their piano skills.
But there are still very few pianists who have the talent and ability to compose and are admired.
There is no doubt that Master Zero Hour is not only excellent at the piano, but also excellent at composing.
This piano piece, whether you know it or not, you can feel that it will definitely be popular all over the world.
"Thank you Master Zero Hour for your performance, would you like to play a few more songs? It's 8:20 a.m., and there's still a lot of time until the end of the game. ”
The host came back to his senses in the applause, and also took the stage again to summarize the cheers of the people.
"That's all for today, but also for the young people, who are the future of the piano world."
Kurosawa thought for a moment, and although he still had several pieces to play, he shook his head.
Today is a piano competition, not a recital for him.
Originally, he only planned to play one piece when he came here, but now he has played three, which is already beyond expectations.
If you continue to play, it will inevitably be noisy.
"We're not in a hurry, it's okay if you play a few more songs."
Hearing this, the players who were waiting for the results in the audience immediately became anxious.
This kind of live performance by a piano master is not something you can see if you want to see it, and if you miss this time, you want to see it next time, and you don't know what year and month it will take to see it.
"After the judges have selected the rankings, can you please give medals to the champion, runner-up, and third runner-up?"
The host naturally heard the calls of the contestants, but through the instructions in the background, he also asked.
Master Zero doesn't plan to perform anymore, so don't force it, because if you really have to say it through the microphone, things will be difficult.
"Absolutely."
Hikaru Kurosawa thought for a moment and nodded.
Originally, as a special guest this time, he had a duty to send blessings and encouragement to the new generation of piano students.
"Okay, please get off the stage and rest for a while, and then I will ask you to come up later.
Receiving his consent, the host said with a sigh of relief.
This is a must-do, because the performance just now has a high rating, and the live webcast has a huge audience.
If we leave the market at zero hour, these numbers will definitely plummet.
But if he hasn't left and will appear again in the future, I believe those fans will insist on seeing the end.
"Hello, Mr. Zero."
As he stepped down, the blond-haired foreigner walked over and shouted Hikaru Kurosawa's name in Japanese.
"Hello, I'm Zero, I don't know my name."
Hikaru Kurosawa noticed his movements and reached out to him.
"My name is Robert, and on behalf of the Croatians, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the rhapsody you have composed for Croatia."
The pianist Robert's Japanese level is average, and the name just now was learned temporarily, and when I saw his response, I shook hands with him very excitedly, and Balabala spoke English.
As a foreigner, he is very tall, about 1.95 meters.
Although there was a difference in height, Robert was bent down and clasped one hand with his hands, his eyes full of reverence.
"I would also like to thank you for electing me as a special guest to come to this stage."
Hikaru Kurosawa sensed his kindness, smiled, and communicated with him in English.
"Wow, Mr. Zero Hour speaks English so well."
Hearing this, Robert was a little surprised and couldn't help but sigh.
Although pianists usually have a good degree of education, they speak English very strongly.
"The same goes for you."
Hikaru Kurosawa smiled and said humorously.
"Mr. Zero, your "Bell" is the best version I've ever heard, can you give me an autograph?"
At the same time, another judge walked in, this time a neon man.
The pianist, who is also a neon pianist, with the amazing and peaking performance just now, his reverence for Zero Time has climbed to the top, and he is even proud of him.
"Let's wait until the end of the competition, and you will judge the rankings of the players first."
Hikaru Kurosawa didn't know him, but others respected him for three points, and he also respected people for three points, so he smiled and said.
"Mr. Zero, do you want to comment together?" Robert invited.
For pianists, there is no such thing as the same level, only high and low.
There is no doubt that Mr. Zero's piano level is definitely the first in the large concert hall of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
"I was busy, I arrived late, I couldn't hear all the contestants' performances, so I couldn't participate."
Hikaru Kurosawa shook his head and didn't get involved.
"I'm out of company."
Because this game is not limited to this hall, but also online broadcast, Hikaru Kurosawa did not delay with them.
With that, he turned around and walked backstage.
The audience was full, but there was no place for him.
"Master Zero, I love you."
As he was about to leave the scene, there were also female fans shouting.
"I love you too."
Hearing this call, Kurosawa Hikaru followed the sound and saw a black-haired beauty, so he responded with a smile.
If he remembers correctly, this beauty is called Shizuka Kitajima, a famous youtober with millions of followers.
In the first two days of the cyber war, she was very active, even as a public figure, but also for him to say good things.
"Wow......"
Shizuka Kitajima didn't expect him to respond to herself like this, and she was stunned for a while, full of surprise.
At the same time, Hikaru Kurosawa suddenly felt a strong gaze.
Even if he didn't turn his head, he knew that this should be the sight of Chizuru Ninomiya.
Obviously, because his response just now was too targeted, and it was aimed at a beautiful woman, which directly attracted her attention.
This gaze was like a needle poking at the back, Kurosawa was secretly frightened, and in the cheers, he quickened his pace and walked to the backstage.
Walking to the side of the stage, pushing open a door and walking in, he was finally out of sight.
"At zero hour, you are amazing, whether it is the song "Bell" or "Adrina by the Water", it is a god-like performance."
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Runa Igarashi, who had been waiting in advance, immediately cheered.
Her hands were restless, and if it weren't for the lesson she had learned last time, she would have wanted to hug Hikaru Kurosawa's head and kiss it wildly.
"Did the counterattack succeed?"
Hikaru Kurosawa also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her face full of excitement.
"It's not just a successful counterattack, it's a big win. Your followers are all raising their eyebrows now, and the Twitter topic, Neon No. 1 Pianist - Zero Hour, is also on the fast-rising topic list. ”
Runa Igarashi was extremely happy and said eagerly.
This kawai Asian piano competition, the final of the youth group in the neon division, has attracted a lot of attention.
Because of the propaganda in the first two days, as well as the cyber war, the attention has soared to an unprecedented height.
Under the multiple blessings, Liszt's "Bell" played by Zero Hour as a special guest, the god-like piano skills, directly exploded the Internet.
Maybe it's just ten minutes, but the exposure rate this time is terrible, after all, it is on TV and live on the Internet
She is sure that starting tomorrow, the name "Zero Hour" will make all kinds of news headlines.
If "Croatian Rhapsody" made Zero Hour a night famous, then tonight's performance is enough to make Zero Hour a god.
Tonight's performances are so exciting, whether it is Liszt's "Bell", "Croatian Rhapsody", or the romantic piano piece "Adelina by the Water", they are all wonderful and enjoyable.
"That's good."
Seeing her reaction with excitement to the point of not being able to do it, Hikaru Kurosawa smiled.
"Wonderful, wonderful, Mr. Zero."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with long hair, a ponytail, and a beard, who looked very artistic, came over with applause.
Hikaru Kurosawa saw his appearance and felt very unfamiliar, so he looked at Runa Igarashi.
"He is the organizer of this competition, Kawai Co., Ltd., the person in charge of the operation and promotion of kawai pianos, and he is also a member of the board of directors."
Although Igarashi Runa couldn't see his eyes, she felt his mask facing her, and guessed his mind and whispered.
"Mr. Zero, it's the first time we met, I'm Yoto Kawai, and I'm glad to meet you."
When Kawai Yoto came to the front, he stretched out his hand and took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Mr. Kawai, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Realizing that this was the big benefactor, Hikaru Kurosawa also stretched out his hand to shake him.
