Fu Tiao was brought back to school by He Shen, and under He Shen's arrangement, Chopin's practice was suspended, and he continued to study smoothly, no longer completely immersed himself in Chopin, but began to get in touch with some other things.

For example, club activities, and some lectures.

Club activities are basically similar to other schools, such as animation clubs, vocal choirs, etc., and sports clubs seem to have to go to other schools to borrow venues.

The only thing that is quite different from other schools is that there is a modern music research club, which is a branch of the composition department that studies modern music.

Of course, this modern music is not pop music, but a musical society that pursues the latest compositional techniques.

However, after only glancing at these contents and not caring about them, he turned his attention to those lectures.

It was only at this time that he realized that the Haicheng Conservatory of Music was really interesting.

In addition to the previous large-scale event, the International Piano Teaching Conference, various concerts and lectures are held in the school almost every day.

Earlier than Chopin's lectures, he listened to lectures by many other composers, such as Beethoven, Bach, Schumann, Mozart, and so on, and these lectures filled almost every day in the small concert hall of the Haicheng Conservatory.

In addition to these lectures, there are also courses on playing techniques, playing ideas, discussions on composers' biographies, and expressions of musicians in the Romantic period.

These are also fun and helpful for future career development.

Especially before He Shen told him to rethink why he played the piano.

It's fun to study classical music, and it's nice to dive into it, but you can't go too far into it and get out of the horns of a composer.

If you don't study Chopin, Fu Tiao still doesn't know what to do for a while.

After all, to be honest, most of the people who can discuss jazz with him are teachers, and those things that students play, they are not particularly interesting at first glance, just a bit similar to his previous one, going to jazz for the sake of jazz.

Now that some doors have been opened for him to go beyond classical music, it is better to look at other composers and see how music has developed in other periods.

It's time to relax.

Therefore, after returning to reconfirm with the teacher and admitting some mistakes of skipping class, Fu Tiao continued to pay attention directly to those lectures and concerts.

Squeeze out a little bit of your time to listen to some other teachers' speeches and see if what their teachers are talking about can be used for you.

Fu Tuo is no longer immersed in Chopin, and his whole temperament is no longer sharp and indifferent, but mellow again.

Like the gentleness of the sea as it gradually subsides.

Fu Tiao calmed himself down and waited for the next time Chopin practiced.

After He Shen came back with Fu Tune, he sank into the piano room by himself, and in addition to the normal concert rehearsals, he spent all his time on the Chopin International Piano Competition.

He was actually thinking about what he said to Fu Tuo before.

He had been looking for his Chopin with Fu tunes to help him complete his own playing.

But...... The path he set for Fu Diao was a little too wide, and it was just purely to help Fu Diao find Chopin, but it didn't have any effect, but it might aggravate Fu Diao's whole sense of anxiety.

After all, I still have a lot of tasks to complete, and I will start the competition in about four months.

Even if you are nervous, you will be anxious and nervous.

Especially when Fu Diao does not have enough works in his hands, only a few songs, this sense of oppression makes Fu Diao even more anxious.

I had been paying attention to Fu Diao's professional level at that time, and forgetting about this almost caused Fu Diao to go a little crazy, He Shen couldn't help but reflect on it.

Now he wants to find a more suitable work for Fu Tune, since Mr. Wang of the Central Academy said that Fu Tune was transferred to his hands, then he naturally needs to be responsible for Fu Tune, and he also needs to start thinking about the works that Fu Tune will perform at the Chopin International Piano Competition after that.

What kind of works are you good at teaching, Fu Tune is good at playing, and can bring out all the advantages?

He Shen fell into deep thought, locked himself in the piano room for a long time, and did not come out.

Time passed day by day.

He Shen was still preparing the repertoire for the Fu Tune competition, he flew directly from Haicheng to the capital by plane, discussed with the teacher of the Central Academy for a long time, and got a general direction, but that direction was a bit too old and not suitable for Fu Tune first.

The only interesting point is that the progress of Fu Tu is completely different from that of the two people, and the Central Academy said that Fu Diao's Chopin is actually very good, even if it is put into the Central Academy of college students, it is one of the best, although the person does not have such a thorough understanding of Chopin, but it is indeed extremely regular.

It's like a ruler, he won't play it if he doesn't think it through.

And the Fu tune that He Shen saw over there was an invincible technical musicality, and Chopin felt that although he was looking for it, it was completely out of it before.

He doesn't wait for himself to think through before playing, but he finds a feeling and plays until it feels clear.

So the two donkeys talked to the horses for a long time, and then they probably found a vague direction to practice.

Fu Tune continued to practice, and soon finished playing all of Chopin's etudes and began to look at other works.

However, while both of them were working towards the Chopin International Piano Competition, NHK TV did something about it.

NHK, Dongying Radio, is the exclusive documentary producer of the Chopin International Piano Competition, and in many cases, NHK will promote the Chopin Academy, which is the organizing committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition, which cannot do it.

Of course, NHK, as the TV station on Toei's side, naturally focuses on Toei's players.

After the qualifiers for the Chopin International Piano Competition in April, NHK had amassed a batch of very high-quality material, and it took them more than a month and almost two months to produce a teaser.

The qualifiers of the Chopin International Piano Competition are watched from the perspective of several contestants, and the recent situation of many contestants is attached to help you understand the progress of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

It is considered an early warm-up for the main race.

Doesn't sound like a problem, but ...... NHK, as a person from Dongying's side, is still the main direction of publicity, so they will naturally exaggerate the situation of the players on Dongying's side.

It's also very normal to give all the players an exaggerated nickname.

Therefore, in the documentary, Kobayashi Aishi likes to mention the title of Toei Piano Queen.

Well, of course, you can also call her a piano princess, after all, Ji has the meaning of a princess in Dongying.

In this documentary, most of the contestants on Dongying's side were put in front of the stage, interviewed them with a lot of questions, and followed them to take a lot of pictures of them practicing.

Except for Miss Toei Piano Lady Aimi Kobayashi, who refused NHK to enter her piano room for filming due to personal preference, the other contestants basically have pictures of their own piano practicing.

Without exception, all of them were selected to play the strongest state, fully demonstrating the strength of all of them.

At the same time, they also sought out many other foreigners who had agreed to shoot and compared them to Dongei's contestants.

Although the difference is not explicitly stated, anyone with a slightly better ear can tell that Toei's players seem to be stronger.

Dong Ying's side had already begun to show his muscles before the game.

Although it didn't have much impact on the game, no one knows if there will be some players from other places who feel hopeless to enter the second round because they have roughly calculated their rankings in their hearts because they have seen the strength of Dongying's side, and they will give up the game directly?

At first, NHK's documentary was spread in Dongying, and it was soon carried into the domestic video website by some people, and by the way, subtitles were added and self-made.

Jiang Ruijia is one of the few Vtubers on PiliPli's side who is doing the Chopin International Piano Competition and has a large number of fans, so when PiliPili just had NHK's documentary about the Chopin International Piano Competition, her fan base was fried, and countless people circled her.

Lin Qingye: "@钢琴侠, Huaguo Piano Ji, look!" NHK's video was posted, and they edited the video from the previous qualifiers! And the latest player information! ”

Stupid, stupid, don't say this kind of thing when doing that kind of thing: ", laugh to death, Kobayashi Aishi Dongying Piano Ji, Piano Man, you are Huaguo Piano Ji, right?" In the future, we won't call you the piano guy, why don't we call you the piano guy directly? ”

Priscilla: "What is the piano?" Piano Ji what? You repeat? ”

Zixu: "No matter how many times I say it, I have to say, let's call the group leader Piano Ji!" ”

Sky Night: "Good, good! ”

Lin Qingye: "Huh? The piano guy didn't break the ban on anti-deletion comments? @钢琴侠, what are you doing? Didn't you just do a little more last night, and you should be awake by now, right? ”

Lin Qingye: "Hurry up, hurry up, Captain Qin, use your invincible mad duck sword, and take us to watch the documentary duck~@钢琴侠"

Lin Qingye: "What about people? @钢琴侠, the piano guy hurry up, or I'll call you Piano Ji~"

[Lin Qingye was banned by the administrator for 10 minutes]

[Lin Qingye was withdrawn by the administrator with three pieces of information]

Jiang Ruijia looked at the group of people in the group with a headache, but then glanced at the video she had just opened in her hand, and her expression was extremely serious.

She'd already watched the documentary, and there were so many things in it that she couldn't have seen it at all.

She thought about it, sighed, and posted a message in the group.

Piano Man: "@全体成员, number one, start broadcasting!" ”

After Jiang Ruijia confirmed that there was no problem with the live broadcast, she clicked on the video, and a puppy appeared in the video, and as the camera slowly pulled away, a girl wearing a white striped gown-like gown sat on a stool in the park, her slender fingers hooked the dog's chain, her eyes were deep, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The sound of background interpretation also came slowly.

"Pianist Aimi Kobayashi."

"Kobayashi-san stood on the world's most prestigious piano stage more than a month ago and held the Chopin International Piano Competition Qualifiers in April 2015."

"This is the peak of the international piano competition, and the age limit for participation is under 30 years old."

"Some people dream of making the leap to the world stage, some people are attracted by Chopin's charm, and they come together to this five-year competition."

"This is the best opportunity for all young pianists, a real chance to leap into the dragon."

"The 25 contestants from Dongying successfully entered the qualifiers of the Chopin International Piano Competition."

"Of these 25 people, only 12 entered the main competition"

"They will represent Dongying and march to the world!"

The screen changes, and countless players who know or don't know appear from the video screen in turn.

Some are performing on stage, some are leading the orchestra in rehearsals, and some are sitting in a small piano room and pondering.

It's just that all of them have a common expression, and that is ...... Serious and serious.

Of the twenty-five players at the beginning, many of them gradually dissipated and became faster and faster.

But Chopin in the background music is more and more emotional.

Maybe it's the characteristics of Dongying's side, it's obviously just a pre-game preview, plus Chopin's soundtrack has been edited little by little, and the moment the twenty-five contestants become only the last twelve pianists representing Dongying, the music becomes extremely explosive.

All the emotions are piled up to the climax.

"This is the hardest war, a war for all pianists, to declare war on the whole world."

"In this war, only a handful of people can stand at the top of this stage and accept challenges from all over the world."

"Before the game, all that awaits them is endless pressure and nervousness."

and...... Struggle. ”

"This is a struggle with oneself, a never-ending struggle with no way forward."

The screen of countless performers gradually dissipated, leaving only the purest white, a touch of gold emerging from it, and the title of the NHK documentary emerged.

"The People Who Challenged Chopin"

"Grass (a plant) ......"

Jiang Ruijia touched her arm, and sure enough, goosebumps had risen.

Even if she had watched it once before the broadcast, she was still extremely shocked when she watched it again now.

She cut the video back to the beginning and looked at the performer's message carefully.

There were many people she didn't know, but she had heard them before, in the notes she had made.

She immediately reopened her notes, comparing them one by one, confirming her judgment.

Chopin Qualifiers entered the preliminary round, 160 people entered the 80 people, and out of the 80 people, Dong Ying entered the 12th place.

This amount is okay, it can be regarded as a percentage of progress, after brushing off half, Dongying still has half.

In her own prediction, 14 Dongying players would make it to the first round of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

The lower players among these players are brushed off and may be replaced by other players.

Overall, the difference in numbers is not large, but on the players, there are exactly 5-6 mistakes?

Why is this happening?

And why has Dongying's side already mentioned Chopin's players who passed the competition, but what about Huaguo's side?

There should be a lot of players on the Huaguo side who can enter the main competition, right? Why hasn't there been statistics on the Chinese side? Now looking at Dongying's announcement of the number of her players, Jiang Ruijia couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Among the 160 people in this year's qualifiers, Huaguo 26, Dongying 25, and South Korea 24, the number is about the same, but the players who entered the first round, Huaguo's side should be able to stabilize Dongying South Korea, and it will be difficult to say until the second and third rounds.

I really don't understand, why not publicize.

Jiang Ruijia shook her head, crossed out the two people who had mispredicted her, and rethought the weight.

The weight of Chopin in the music seems to be a little bigger, and the technical content of the players is slightly reduced?

Jiang Ruijia thought about it first, put this thought behind her for the time being, and continued to watch NHK's video with a noisy barrage.

The video continues, this time focusing on the players who are competing in the competition, simply following their schedules.

"Aishi Kobayashi, the piano princess of Dongying, has already received great honors very early."

"After returning from Chopin's qualifiers, she devoted most of her time to practicing."

The video follows Aimi Kobayashi from her home, and after she and the dog she was holding at the beginning were sticky for a while, she rubbed the dog's head, picked up the sheet music, and ran towards the piano room with coffee and bread.

The camera followed her all the time, with a hint of helplessness on her face, until she was slightly relieved until the piano room.

She put the score on the pavement and smiled at the camera.

"Okay, now I'm going to practice, can you go out~"

With that, she closed the door and the camera was stopped outside.

Soon the sound of the piano in the room sounded, and all Jiang Ruijia's attention immediately tightened.

The music is slightly obscured by the sound of background interpretation, but many of Kobayashi's performances can still be heard.

Jiang Ruijia turned on the recording and analyzed the comparison between Kobayashi Aicheng and the previous one very seriously, and then her brows furrowed quickly.

Aimi Kobayashi...... Got stronger.

From the music just now, she could hear that Aishi Kobayashi's strength was slowly improving.

If it took half a month to make this small documentary, which was not long, only ten minutes, then Aimi Kobayashi only took a month and a half to complete the progress.

You must know that Kobayashi Aisei's results on her side are the ones who have a chance to enter the final round of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Players of this level can continue to improve, and it seems that they have not stopped, and there is still so much time to come, and they may improve even faster.

So on the day of the main competition, how terrifying are all the players?

Jiang Ruijia suddenly fell into confusion.

Before, she felt that Fu Tune was improving very quickly, and she could hear Fu Tune practicing in the piano room before, and she felt that if Fu Tune continued like that, there should be no big problem in entering the finals.

But now, when she heard a pre-match documentary made by NHK on Toying's side for their players, she completely overturned this idea.

Fu is improving, and the other players are not standing still.

Everyone will improve, not just one Fu tune.

It is true that Fu Diao is talented, but Fu Diao is not the only one in the world who is talented.

People ran so far ahead than Fu Diao, and Fu Diao is now catching up, he ...... Can you catch up?

Although Jiang Ruijia is full of confidence in Fu Diao, at this moment, her confidence seems to have been shaken a little.

The live broadcast room, which was supposed to be full of program effects, was extremely quiet at this moment, and only the sound of NHK's live broadcast remained.
