Chapter 83: Official Inquiries
This interview is what all the players need to do, and some of the first-round players, such as Bies, who was the first in the first round, did the interview directly in the conference hall just now, and pointed his guns at him to know what he thought about the game.
The other contestants were assigned to a quieter position, waiting for their interviews to begin.
In order to save manpower, these interviews are as many as possible from a single country to a single country, and those European countries are really unavailable, so they choose to have people from other countries work part-time.
Therefore, the person who connected with Fu Diao was a Chinese and a European videographer.
There were many rooms in the Chopin Concert Hall in Warsaw, and everyone immediately found one at random, and after closing the door, the cameraman immediately began to set up the lighting, finding a suitable position to make Fu Tiao's aura even stronger.
Looking at the cameraman who was busy on the side, the person in charge of the interview smiled and said to Fu Tiao.
"Fu tune, hello, my name is Wang Kai, you can call me Xiao Wang, I have heard your performance, that is...... In the previous qualifiers, I happened to be in charge of that scene, and I followed the busy camera brother next to me to do the work of a camera assistant, and my previous performance was really good, I like your performance very much! ”
"Thank you."
Fu Tiao smiled and nodded to accept his compliment, and then asked, "So when are we going to start?" ”
"Just wait until the photographer finishes it."
The words didn't last long, and the photographer had already assembled everything, turned on the lights, and the reflector behind him also pounced, adding a beam of light to the front and left sides of Fu Diao, making his figure even more mysterious.
After the photographer confirmed that it was correct in front of the camera, he made a gesture to Wang Kaibi, Wang Kai immediately understood, picked up the notebook in his hand and began to chant to Fu Diao.
"Hello Fu Tune, that's right, we have a few questions for you, we noticed that you have won the Golden Bell Award in the world, but you have not won other international awards, and your background is slightly more brief than other players, so I would like to know, what prompted you to participate in the Chopin International Piano Competition? Or rather, what was it that made you fall in love with the Chopin International Piano Competition? If we can say as much as we can, we need to save up to 5-8 minutes. ”
With that, he pushed out the paper in his hand, and on it was written his question.
Motivation for the Chopin International Piano Competition.
Fu Tiao pondered his memory for a while, and found that there was not much information related to the Chopin International Piano Competition, but looking at the camera in front of him that was flashing red lights, and the host who was extremely expectant on the side, he was silent for a while, and slowly spoke.
"Actually, at first...... I don't have any special opinion about the Chopin International Piano Competition, for me, this is a pedal, a pedal to talk to players from all over the world, a pedal to go on the world stage and communicate with the top piano masters, even before the competition, I don't have any special opinion about Chopin, I submitted an application to you, you passed my application, and I came. ”
When the words fell, Wang Kai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such an answer, but he was not in a hurry, but sat outside the camera, waiting for Fu Diao's explanation.
"Originally, I didn't think much about it, just one game, it wasn't a big deal, but when I actually participated in this game and talked to all the players, I realized a little bit very clearly...... That is, Chopin is not so simple, and the Chopin International Piano Competition is not so simple! There are actually many things in Chopin's music that deserve to be studied. ”
"I became acquainted with Chopin for the first time in the true sense, and the communication with Chopin, if you strictly calculate, you can even say that I was in the arena of the Chopin International Piano Competition, after hearing the performances of other players, I realized what was missing in my music, and I began to seriously start thinking about the relationship between my music and Chopin's music, and I understood what Chopin is called and what is romantic."
Wang Kai nodded silently listening to Fu Diao's words, but he didn't say anything.
After all, this is an interview with Fu Tuo, and the content he is responsible for is very simple.
Guide Fu Tiao not to be nervous, record Fu Tiao's words, and tell him what he needs to say now.
That's all.
Wang Kai flipped the document in his hand to the next page, and asked Fu Tiao.
"Okay Fu tune player, then I would like to ask, does participating in the Chopin International Piano Competition have any guiding effect on your future route? Or rather...... What do you most want to do after you compete? ”
Fu Tiao didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Play the piano." ”
"Playing the piano?" Wang Kai was stunned, he didn't expect this answer.
Fu Tiao nodded and continued.
"The Chopin International Piano Competition is just a stage for me, a very small stage in my life, so the main thing for me to participate in this competition is to test my ideas about Chopin and whether I can impress other judges to understand my music and become interested in my music."
"I'm still very young, and I'm only ...... now" Fu Tune thought for a moment and hesitated: "I'm only 19 years old now?" I'm still in my 20s, but it doesn't matter, I still have a lot of time to focus on music. ”
"The Chopin International Piano Competition is not everything, and Chopin is not everything, even classical music, not everything, these are just some parts of the music."
"After the Chopin International Piano Competition, if my performance can meet my expectations, then I should choose to change to a new composer to study and think, after all, you know, I have been studying Chopin in recent months, which causes me to have a little headache when I see Chopin now."
Wang Kai immediately laughed a few times in agreement.
Fu Tiao waited for him to finish laughing, and then continued: "So, when the Chopin International Piano Competition is over, I should go back to practice, rethink some works by some more powerful composers that I haven't noticed before, and let myself understand music more deeply, let my professional level become more calm, and let myself settle down." ”
"After all...... The Chopin International Piano Competition is a very training venue. ”
Fu Tiao glanced meaningfully at the camera, then looked at Wang Kai, waiting for his next question.
Without any hesitation, Wang Kai continued to turn the page and asked Fu Tiao.
"So I would like to ask Mr. Fu Tiao, what is your goal for the competition?"
"As for my goal, that's number one." Fu Tuo smiled without any hesitation: "Those who come to participate in the competition must want to win the first place, although there are many powerful people, they are much deeper than me in classical music, but I will do my best...... Win the first place. ”
The musicians who come to participate in the competition must have a high spirit.
If they weren't prepared to go for the first place from the start, they wouldn't have had a chance to touch that field.
Wang Kai put down the notebook in his hand and picked up the second notebook.
"I just had some questions about the Chopin International Piano Competition, and now I'd like to discuss some musical questions with you, starting with the first one...... What do you find the most difficult part of being a pianist? ”
"The hardest part?"
Fu Tiao didn't expect that the question of the Chopin International Piano Competition would be biased to this place, and he couldn't help but look into the distance and began to think about what was the most difficult part of becoming a pianist.
In fact, this question can be divided into two parts.
First of all, what do you think is a pianist? The second is the difficulty among pianists.
So...... What is a pianist?
Fu Tiao pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a calm tone.
"I want to ...... It's supposed to be an exchange, right? ”
"Communication?" Wang Kai's eyes lit up, and he heard a very interesting answer,
Fu Tiao rubbed the non-existent stubble on his chin and said slowly: "That's right, communication, I think communication is the most difficult part of becoming a pianist. ”
"This communication is not an exchange with the teacher, nor with the peers, but with oneself and the audience off the stage."
Fu Tiao raised his head and looked at Wang Kai, and asked very seriously.
"I don't know if you've ever heard the voices of the audience under the stage, but when you're playing, you can feel the kind of sound they think when you look at them."
"Before he listens to you, is he in pain, is he uncomfortable, is he sad, or is he excited, excited, or curious? What was the emotion in his heart? What exactly is the mood of all the audience under the stage, their thoughts? ”
"Can we use my music to capture the feeling that these people are trying to find? Let him flow with my music? ”
"This ...... It is the communication with the audience, the communication between the hearts. ”
At the same time, you also need to communicate with yourself, think about what you want to express, and the kind of charm you want to express, does it really reach the ears of the audience? Am I really conveying it accurately? Will I be able to absorb the feelings that the audience has to give me? ”
"All of it...... You all need to think about it. ”
Wang Kai nodded silently, turned a page, and continued to ask questions.
"Then I would like to ask Fu tune, for you, the piano is it...... What does that mean? ”
"The possibilities are endless."
Fu Diao did not hesitate and said categorically.
"I'm not a person who likes to say all my feelings, but I can use the piano to release my feelings, my thoughts, my everything, my soul will no longer be imprisoned in a small body, but can be transmitted to other people through the piano and through music."
"The piano only has 88 keys, but in these 88 keys, there are endless possibilities, and I can play music that belongs only to me through these 88 keys."
"I can put everything I want to express into the composers through the composers, through their music."
"Limited space, infinite possibilities, such a combination is too wonderful, more reassuring than this infinite continent."
Fu Diao slowly said his thoughts about the piano, and Wang Kai listened very carefully.
Although he said that he watched Fu Tune in the qualifiers before, he was not particularly optimistic about him.
After all, half a year ago, Fu's performance was really powerful, and Chopin's works did not have any Chopin stuff in it, and when they saw that he could enter the main competition, they even began to doubt whether the judges were fair.
But as far as Fu Tune told him so far, what he interviewed made him understand a more real Fu Tune.
It was clear to him that he had realized his mistake and was working hard to correct it.
Coupled with Fu Tiao's views on Chopin and his own thoughts on music, he was very touched.
He always has the feeling of seeing the top boss before.
The conversation between the two did not last long, after all, it was only a brief discussion of about five minutes, so after Fu Tiao finished talking about what the piano meant to him, Wang Kai put away the documents in his hand.
He looked at Fu Diao, his body was extremely relaxed, and he said with a smile.
"Okay, that's pretty much the end of today's question, and there's a small question at the end, which you can say or not, that is, if you were asked to describe your music in three words, what words would you choose?"
Fu Tiao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this question, couldn't help but think, and then hesitated to speak.
"Perhaps, it is peace of mind, freedom, and ......"
"The sea?"
……
All the contestants were conducting pre-competition interviews, and the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition was not idle.
Four pitch-black buses slowly stopped at the back door of the concert hall, and more than a dozen people quickly circled the car.
"Hurry, hurry! Everyone carefully removed the piano and sent it to the concert hall! Tomorrow we will start the audition, and today we will complete all the pianos! Hear no! ”
"Yes!"
A strong man standing at the front spoke to the crowd, without any objections, and they all focused their attention on the piano in front of them, careful not to bump the piano.
There were four pianos in front of them, and each piano was given to them by the top piano companies, and these pianos could not afford to lose anything.
These pianos are more difficult to make than the pianos that are normally sold in stores, and these pianos are all the best pianos they can find at the moment.
The Chopin International Piano Competition is not only a competition for contestants, but also a competition for these big piano companies.
In addition to investing in a group of players before the competition, allowing them to use their pianos in the competition, and there are additional rewards if they win, they still need to compete in the competition field.
Four pianos, representing four completely different playing directions.
They will show their perfect piano to those players, and let those brand artists who have not been selected by them play their pianos.
In this way, we can strive for the greatest benefit in the case of capital preservation.
Because of this, these people who are ready to carry the piano do not dare to make any mistakes.
If you miss, it's a big problem.
Everyone carefully placed the piano on the stage, lifted the protective cover covering the piano, and carefully checked every trace of the piano.
It wasn't until I confirmed that it was correct that I slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The person in charge who had been at the front and commanding everyone stood up and said with a frown at the group of tuners standing on the side.
"Tuning team, we have shipped the piano in perfect condition, now it's your turn to tune the piano quickly, and bring out the piano in the most perfect state."
"Okay, leave it to us, please rest assured!"
A Dongying man took the lead and walked out, picked up his own tools and quickly lay on the piano to adjust the timbre of the piano.
They are the last line of defense for the piano, and many of them are not only responsible for tuning, but also making the piano, and they are very familiar with their own pianos.
If you don't have any problems seeing the piano, the next step is to make everything in the piano as perfect as possible.
Let all the timbre be integrated, and there will be no deviation in timbre.
In addition to the piano tuners standing on the stage, there were many others standing at the edge of the concert hall, their brows furrowed and their ears pricked up to listen to the sounds of the concert hall, and they occasionally spoke to remind them.
"The sound in the B3 area is abnormal, and the C sound in the second group of small characters is prominent, which needs to be adjusted!"
"Zone D1 has normal timbre and no need to adjust!"
"The tone in the A4 area is muddy, please give more force, I can't hear the feedback."
“……”
The voices of the crowd affected the tuner on the stage, and everyone formed a chariot as precise as a German machine, constantly moving forward.
All of them were in a hurry.
It's September 27th.
On September 28th, the audition will begin.
On September 29th, the first round of the Chopin International Piano Competition was announced.
On October 2nd, the audition ended.
On October 3rd, the Chopin International Piano Competition officially began.
Time waits for no one, and they have to make sure that everything goes smoothly without any problems.
It is not only the players who participate in the competition, but also countless staff members.
It's a tough battle for all, a hard battle that must be won!
……
The time passed quickly, all the preliminary preparations had been properly handled, and the tuning master with a lot of tired dark circles came out of the corner, waiting for the contestants to show up and see if there were any other problems that had not been solved.
When the group of tool man tuners were about to lie down, the contestants who came to try the piano and choose the piano according to the regulations came to the concert hall, looking at the dark piano on the stage, their expressions were excited.

I wrote until 4 o'clock in the morning, 5 o'clock in the morning, and then went to class after sleeping for less than 4 hours, and went to the gym until 12 o'clock.
As a result, I squatted all the ...... 120kg?
