Chopin's performance by Zhao Chengzhen is very good, or it can be said that after three performances of the Chopin International Piano Competition, the best Chopin is not even one of them.

His performance in the third round directly surpassed the Fu tune in the second round.

This extreme Chopin has attracted countless judges and audiences, who silently praised Cho Sung-jin's performance in their hearts.

For them, they just want to hear the perfect music, and it doesn't really matter who played it.

For others, such as those who support Fu Tune, it is not so easy.

Fao is actually the most anxious.

He found that his traffic was declining recently, and although he had always said that he didn't care about those traffic at all, and didn't care what kind of comments these viewers wanted to make, it was very uncomfortable and powerless to really see that his people were leaving one after another.

A large part of these people went to some official live broadcast rooms to listen to more professional commentaries and explain the musical interpretation, especially before the performance of Fu Tune, to see if Fu Tune had a chance to score higher, while the other part went to some more joyful live broadcast rooms to listen to the commentary.

It's all amateurs anyway, so why not be happy?

Fao himself is an ordinary Up master, or a music critic, not known for his piano performance level at all, so no matter how much he can say, what he says is not as professional as those top bosses, and more interesting than fun, he is not as funny as those entertaining Up masters.

Before, he could rely on no one to explain the Chopin International Piano Competition to mix up a little traffic, but now the big guy is here and has snatched all the traffic, and only half of the original people on his side are still watching his live broadcast.

If it were normal, he might sigh and say a few words along with the barrage, let them all come over to see him, help him increase his traffic, let classical music rise again, etc., and see if he can mix up a few fans.

But now, he is completely out of the mood, and the Fu Diao player he cares about the most, the Chinese who he hails as the most promising to win the championship this year is facing a dilemma.

A dilemma he didn't know how to break at all.

The fat man on the side of Fao watched Zhao Chengzhen's performance, and couldn't help but sigh quietly: "Why is Zhao Chengzhen so strong?" Is his current level stable from the state he was in when he broke through before? I feel like he's taken his ceiling up a notch. ”

"I also feel almost ......" The other nodded: "Zhao Chengzhen's level is too awesome, I really don't know if Fu Diao can successfully break through Zhao Chengzhen's defense line and get a very high ranking, although I am very hopeful for Fu Diao, but this matter is ...... It's really difficult, I really can't understand what Fu Diao should do to defeat Zhao Chengzhen. ”

Fao remained silent, bowing his head and not speaking.

Everyone else was discussing Zhao Chengzhen's awesomeness, and he was upset when he listened.

In between Cho Sung-jin's music performances, he slammed the table, waking everyone up from Cho Sung-jin's influence, and then whispered.

"Shut up!"

“？”

Everyone looked at Fao in confusion, not quite sure why he suddenly went berserk, and his barrage was also floating with question marks.

"What the hell? Streamers are crazy? ”

"When I saw that the players I supported had no hope, I was sloppy."

"Huh? I don't understand, what do you mean? Fu tune is gone? ”

"I haven't played yet, but seriously, the possibility of Fu Diao's continued existence is really too low, and he may really be crushed under him and can't get up."

“……”

Fao was upset when everyone watched the barrage, he took a deep breath, stared at Zhao Chengzhen in front of him, and said with great force.

"It's not over yet! There's still a chance! Fu Tiao still has a chance! As long as he plays better than Zhao Chengzhen, then he still has a chance! ”

"Aren't you?" The fat man on the side immediately frowned, and said: "It seems that no one knows, but the problem is that what Fu Tune wants to do now is not like the second round, the last work is similar to Zhao Chengzhen, if it is still the same as the second round, then the total score between Fu Tune and Zhao Chengzhen will be one point, this point is not so easy to chase!" Even if the score difference in the fourth round is very large, the vast majority of those are from the back echelon, not the front echelon! And even if Fu Tune can get one point in the fourth round, but on the whole, he is only stronger than Zhao in the concerto, and the others are not as good as Zhao, so it is very likely that the judges will not like it! ”

"Fu tune what he has to do, but when he just played, he directly defeated Zhao Chengzhen through the snowball to suppress the biggest momentum!"

The voice fell, and the room fell silent.

The other man had already sensibly suspended the game and watched Fao and the fat man.

Fao lowered his head and grabbed his head hard, his expression tangled, and he said with difficulty.

"I know, I know...... It's just that I'm not reconciled! is obviously the greatest hope of Huaguo, why did such a strong opponent suddenly appear? Obviously, Zhao was not so strong when he first started, why is he so strong now? Why? ”

"Made...... Fu Tune, you must be stronger when you step on the horse, you must win against Zhao! If you lose again in the third round, then Chopin International Piano Competition may never have a chance to win the championship again, even if you perform perfectly in the last round and have a certain probability of winning the championship, your chances are not great! Mademade, why is Zhao Chengzhen so strong this round! Damn ......"

“……”

Fao fell into despair, Shan Yi, who was far away in Sichuanzhou, had just sent Li Diyun away, and returned to the house and lay on the wooden chair and couldn't sleep, the whole person looked tired, and a voice with a hint of gentleness came, and his wife spoke.

"Shan Yi, still not sleeping?"

"Wait, I'll sit down for a while, you can sleep first."

"Go to bed early, you have to get up and run tomorrow morning, and you have Xiao Wang's piano lesson at half past eight tomorrow morning, don't forget, eleven o'clock is an open class."

"Well, I see, you go to sleep first."

After Shan Yi said a few words to his wife in the room, he returned to the chair, his body was tightly pressed against the arc of the chair, his eyes were a little dull, and he didn't know where to look.

He just felt tired for some reason, and he didn't know why, there was always a breath in his heart that he couldn't release, as if something had not been done.

What is it?

Shan Yi thought for a moment and looked at the photo on the side.

The photo has a photo of his student winning the award.

Chopin International Piano Competition, Li Diyun, Chen Sa, Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Zhang Hao, Elizabeth International Piano Competition, He Shen.

Many, many people.

Oh yes! It's the one!

He thought about it, suddenly remembered something, and slowly got up and turned on the TV.

He wants to listen to the Chopin International Piano Competition, before Li Diyun said that Fu Tune has a competition tonight, he wants to see, he has been paying attention to Fu Tune for a long time, especially when he heard that Fu Tune entered the second round and got a very high ranking, he has paid attention.

Now in the third round, I don't know what kind of thing Fu Tune can show him.

Shan Yi turned on the TV, and a wave of pulsing static electricity jumped onto his hand, making the hairs on his hands stand up one by one, and it took a long time to dissipate, and the TV screen was green ripples.

After the TV turned on, he glanced in the direction of the bedroom, reached out and turned the sound of the TV to the lowest, then moved a small chair to sit in front of the TV and tuned the channel to classical music.

This is a private channel in the set-top box, which needs to be purchased with money, and he has always had a renewal fee, and recently this channel has also broadcast the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Unlike the central station, they directly put the full episode of the game here, and they don't care if the audience will get bored at all, and it feels like the same work is always the same.

After Shan Yi switched the channel to the Chopin International Piano Competition, he just sat there, listening to the music in his ears, motionless, and then slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, it is Zhao Chengzhen's performance, and he has already played the last piece of Chopin's prelude, followed by Chopin's first piano humor, which is used to make up for the time.

Shan Yi didn't make any comments, but his lips couldn't help but bite slightly.

Zhao Chengzhen's strength made him feel uneasy, he felt inexplicably that Zhao Chengzhen's performance had a championship appearance, just like what he had heard in Li Diyun more than ten years ago.

That voice was great, and he liked it so much.

But this voice came from Cho Sung-jin, Cho Sung-jin of South Korea, and he didn't like it.

"Chopin International Piano Competition...... It's getting harder and harder. ”

He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the screen in front of him, and muttered.

As the times gradually move forward, the piano teaching method is also gradually advancing, and he can even say that his previous teaching method has a tendency to be a little outdated.

For example, the current Zhao Chengzhen, he never imagined that someone would be able to perform such a powerful work at the Chopin International Piano Competition.

And the strength that can completely suppress Zhao Chengzhen, Shan Yi feels that it may be someone like Li Diyun, and the others ...... It's harder.

And what about Fu Tune?

Shan Yi suddenly remembered that he had come to see Fu Tune today, not to see Zhao Chengzhen pretending to be forced, so he immediately withdrew his attention and put it on analyzing Zhao Chengzhen's current performance and Fu Tune's last round of performance.

After Zhao Chengzhen stabilized the level of the last round of breakthroughs, this level has increased significantly, and no matter who can hear it, his strength is strong.

And Fu tunes ......

Shan Yi thought about it and just sighed softly.

"Come on......"

He didn't want to say anything, now this situation is no longer something that can be solved by thinking about solutions, and even you have no way to target him specifically, you can only use the same level of hard power to confront Zhao Chengzhen one-on-one.

So, can Fu Tiao show the kind of strength he wants?

Can he resist the pressure given by Zhao Chengzhen?

Shan Yi didn't know that he could only give blessings in his heart.

Suddenly, he felt a cup of warmth pass him to him, and a gentle voice that was also slightly tired spoke softly.

"Chopin International Piano Competition?"

"Hmmm......"

"I'll just say why you haven't slept until now, obviously you have a class tomorrow, usually you would have slept in bed at this time."

The wife said softly and shook her head helplessly: "Who are you looking at?" ”

"Fu Tune."

"Fu Tuo, the one you mentioned before, the one Xiao He brought with him, a student with very good talent?"

"Yes."

Shan Yi nodded slightly, pointed to the TV in front of him, and whispered: "Now it's Zhao Chengzhen of South Korea, and when he is over, it will be Fu Tune." ”

"Oh......"

The wife nodded slightly, got up and turned up the sound of the TV, and then pointed to the recliner behind her.

"Don't get so close to the TV, you sit down, I'll get you some boiled water."

Shan Yi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his wife to do this, but he didn't refuse, but smiled happily, got up from the small bench, sat on the recliner in the back, and said to his wife: "You're not sleeping?" Don't you have a class tomorrow too? ”

"No, I'll sleep together after you're done."

"It might take more than an hour to watch."

"It's fine."

"Makeme a cup of tea, then? Just use the one Di Yun brought with him before...... Longjing? ”

"Drink tea at night, you don't sleep?"

With that, a pot of boiling water was boiled, and with it came a piece of apple.

"Eat some fruit."

"Okay, thank you."

Shan Yi took the apple, and his wife just lay on the chair, listening to Zhao Chengzhen's performance in front of him.

The wife gnawed on the apple slowly, with an indifferent expression, and Shan Yi put the apple aside, touched the thermos cup, felt the temperature of the palm, and kept changing places with her fingers to keep the palm from being too hot.

Zhao Chengzhen's casual performance on TV, a feeling of lifting weights spontaneously, this feeling made countless people fall for it, and even Shan Yi was a little biased towards Zhao Chengzhen.

After all, he played really perfectly.

It's just a pity that the piece he can hear is too short, and not long after Shan Yi turned on the TV, Zhao Chengzhen's performance ended.

With the last few notes, the applause of the audience instantly swept the entire concert hall, and countless "bravo" accompanied by applause one after another.

Obviously it was just an ordinary game, but it played a long-lasting applause like a concert, and Zhao Chengzhen bowed to everyone and thanked everyone three or four times without subsidence.

Thunderous applause.

And inside the room, there was even more silence.

"Shan Yi!"

"Huh?"

"You said that Fu transferred him, can he win against Zhao Chengzhen?"

"I don't know, he hasn't played yet."

"That's right...... It just can't. ”

"It's not good, I'm not sure."

The two fell silent, and the only sound in the room was the sound of apples.

As the apple was gnawed off little by little, leaving only the last few black seeds hanging from the core in the center, the wife sighed.

"Okay, I'm done eating, then I'll lie in bed first, you don't have to turn off the sound of the TV, let me listen to it in the house, let me listen to your uncertainty, whether it can become certain in the end, and listen to your fancy student level, what is it."

Shan Yi was silent, and finally nodded slightly: "Okay." ”

After the words fell, the wife got up, put away the fruit pits and debris, and walked slowly to the bedroom, where only Shan Yi was left.

He looked at the screen, sighed again, and said softly.

"It's hard......"

In addition to Shan Yi, there are other piano professors and music industry practitioners in various places who are paying attention to this competition, but everyone is pessimistic.

During a short intermission, the host of the Chopin International Piano Competition is exchanging details about Chopin with one of the judges, telling the audience how to understand Chopin in order to make their music as perfect as possible.

The backstage has already given a video of Fu Tune being prepared.

Fu Tiao stood at the door of the concert hall, looking at Zhao Chengzhen who was walking down from the stage, and the two looked at each other without any expression.

All the cameras were aimed at Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen, trying to shoot the contradiction between the two, but unfortunately they didn't.

Zhao Chengzhen just glanced at Fu Tuo, didn't say anything, and walked directly to the house, ready to conduct an interview.

Fu Diao, on the other hand, stared straight at the backstage door in front of him, waiting for the staff's reminder and preparing to go on stage.

The two just passed by, without any conversation.

The "Bravo" in the second round is gone, and only coldness and antagonism remain.

In fact, at this moment, the two of them didn't know what they should say, and they didn't have anything to say.

Cho Sung-jin's performance has been recognized by everyone, and he has also played to his limit, and the next step is the performance of Fu Tune.

Fu tune playing awesome, then everything is fine.

If there is something wrong with the performance, then there is nothing to say, just admit defeat directly, don't say anything that there is not, although the defeat is still glorious, a small win, a big win, a super big win and something like that.

So Zhao Chengzhen only plans to go back to the backstage and wait to watch the performance of Fu Tune to see if Fu Tune has the ability to turn the tables to the limit.

Fu Tuo, on the other hand, focuses all his attention on himself and is too lazy to pay attention to external objects.

The sound in the concert hall gradually became noisy, and the audience had returned to the room after taking a break from the toilet, chatting excitedly about Cho Sung-jin's performance.

And the surrounding staff first entered the final preparations before the game.

A staff member walked quickly in front of Fu Tuo and nodded slightly: "Fu, please stand at the staircase of the backstage, there are still 30 seconds for your performance." ”

"Okay!"

Fu Tiao nodded, stepped into the backstage door, stood in front of the stairs, looked up at the several staff members in front of him, waiting for their instructions.

"Dio Fu! Huaguo! Piano Selection: Steinway & Sons D274! ”

Selection of works: Chopin Mazurka Op 33-1, 2, 3, 4

Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2!

Chopin's unnamed piece, God bless Poland!

Chopin Polonaise, hero! ”

Wow!

The applause rang out instantly, and countless people looked at the baffle at the entrance expectantly, waiting for Fu Tiao to enter the stage from behind the steps.

Everyone is saying that Fu Diao can fight with Zhao Chengzhen, Zhao Chengzhen is already so awesome just now, so Fu Diao should at least be a little more awesome than Zhao Chengzhen, right?

That's how it should be, right?

Thinking of this, everyone's applause became more enthusiastic, and they did their best to welcome Fu Tune's debut.

"Player Fu, it's here!"

"Good!"

Fu Tiao tidied up his bow tie, the buttons on the cuffs, and the buttons in front of his lower abdomen a little, nodded slightly to the people around him, and stepped forward.

Rumble!

At the moment when Fu Tune appeared, the already extremely warm applause became even more enthusiastic, and some people even had fanatical expressions.

And these expressions soon spread to the sight of Shan Yi, Fao, Pavel, Olga, and others.

Some people instantly chuckled in their hearts, and secretly said that it was not good.

Now everyone's expectations for Fu Tune have surpassed Zhao Chengzhen, if it is normal times, it would be fine, but now the question is, Zhao Chengzhen has shown enough perfect strength, can Fu Tune really reach the level of surpassing Zhao Chengzhen and respond to the audience's expectations?

If there is no way to respond, it is even just about the same level as Zhao Chengzhen......

The audience will feel dissatisfied!

Some people even kept secretly scolding the group of people who promoted Fu Tune, if they didn't keep promoting Fu Tune, I'm afraid Fu Tune would not have been so high-profile, and it would be surprising to show similar strength to Zhao Chengzhen later.

Now it's not just about being almost the same as Zhao Chengzhen, but it is necessary to surpass Zhao Chengzhen.

It's a bit hard to ride a tiger now.

But......

Fu Tiao didn't care, he bowed slightly to everyone, sat on the piano bench, and raised his hand.

When the concert hall fell silent again, his hand pressed softly, and an unparalleled musical impact instantly poured towards everyone.

For a moment, the audience was shocked.

Shan Yi, who was almost asleep, couldn't help but raise his head at this moment.

This one...... Music?
