Wang Kai and the photographer brother are already waiting for Fu Tune in the descendants, and even they have put up the curtain for the interview, and piled up the light plates of the bottom light, side light and face light in the room, Wang Kai watched Fu Tune in, and couldn't help but smile and waved his hand.

"Fu tune! Here, here, let's take a picture first. ”

After that, Wang Kai pulled Fu Diao, who was still a little dazed, to stand in the middle of the black curtain, quickly adjusted the position of the luminous plate, and showed the contours of Fu Diao's face more obviously, and then asked Fu Diao.

"Fu Tune, just think of a move, if you can't think of it, I can give you a few choices, stand normally, with your hands staggered, sit on the chair, leaning on the piano on the side, your fingers supporting your chin, you can choose any one."

"Action? What action to do? ”

Fu didn't know why, hesitantly glanced at the piano on the side, leaned his body on the side of the piano, his hands naturally hung down in front of his body, looked at Wang Kai and asked, "So?" ”

"Hmm......"

Wang Kai found a few angles, and his expression was a little tangled: "I feel average, not handsome enough, or be simpler?" Are you sitting on a piano bench with your arms propped up on the edge of the piano? Or with your body slightly bent and your elbows on your legs, your hands folded in front of you? ”

"So?"

After Fu Diao made a few movements according to Wang Kai's guidance, Wang Kai quickly adjusted the light-emitting plate finely, and let the photographer brother on the side take several photos of Fu Diao with the camera hanging around his neck, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, the momentum is out, it would be nice if the eyes were a little sharper."

Fu Tiao's mind was full of questions, and he tried his best to sharpen his gaze and stare at the camera motionlessly.

He had no idea why Wang Kai would ask him to take pictures.

He tensed, stared at the camera, and asked with the smallest possible movement, "This picture...... What does it do? ”

"Publicity."

Wang Kai flipped the camera around his neck and handed it to Fu Tiao, and said with a smile.

"Three days of competition, four days of rest, you have a week to rest, and then three days later, after the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition informs us of the list of finalists for the fourth round, we can make your photos into posters and paste them in the city, and even sell a little of your photos, and sell your photos in the form of blind boxes, so as to increase the popularity of the Chopin International Piano Competition."

After that, he looked at Fu Diao's expression as if he was still a little puzzled, and immediately opened his mouth to add.

"Of course! If someone buys your merchandise, you can get a subsidy! You don't have to worry too much about that! We're not going to let you lose money! After deducting the production cost of photos and other items, the organizing committee will give you a 50% gross profit share, and the more you sell, the more you earn! But the blind box is divided equally by everyone, oh yes, we're done shooting, you can take the action. ”

"That's ......"

Fu Tiao nodded blankly and sat down.

He had no idea that the Chopin International Piano Competition could be played like this.

However, it is not surprising that the Chopin International Piano Competition, as the most commercialized competition, can get such an operation.

You must know that the Chopin International Piano Competition itself only charges an entry fee of 100 euros, and the registration fee for all the contestants together is only more than 30,000 euros.

But you have to know that the winner of the Chopin International Piano Competition will be awarded 40,000 euros, the second place will be 30,000 euros, the third place will be 20,000 euros, the fourth place will be 15,000 euros, the fifth place will be 10,000 euros, the sixth place will be 7k euros, and the rest of the finalists will be rewarded with 4k euros.

In other words, if there are 10 people in the final, then at least 128,000 euros will be awarded, and the more people who enter the final, the more rewards will be given.

In addition, the best concerto by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the best mazurka by Polish Radio, and the best polonaise by the Chopin Society are awarded 5,000 euros.

And the best Chopin piano sonata, awarded by Christian Zimmermann, is a full 10,000 euros!

If all the prizes are sufficient, then the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee may directly give a reward of 153,000 euros, which is still only one person for each award, if there are 2 or 3 winners for each award, then the price to pay is more.

Although the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition has a lot of sponsors, they also need to do a little marketing to make some money.

After all, there is always a feeling of softness in purely eating other people's money.

Eating people has a short mouth, and it is not casual to talk about being soft on people.

They are actively marketing these players and increasing their influence is also preparing for their future.

After Fu Tiao confirmed a suitable makeup photo with Wang Kai and others, Wang Kai took him to a deeper part of the room.

In this place, the photographer put down the camera around his neck and replaced it with a larger, darker, thicker camera, opened the matte box and aimed it at Fu Tune silently.

And Wang Kai also opened the voice recorder in his hand, took out the small book in his pocket, smiled at Fu Tiao friendlyly, and spoke.

"Okay, let's come back to the necessary part after each round of our competition, the interview session, you should be very familiar with the interview, right? So let's not talk nonsense, let's start directly, which is still the first question, what do Fu Tune contestants think of their performance in the third round of the Chopin International Piano Competition? Are you very happy with your performance? ”

The camera's red light turned on, and it was obvious that the recording had begun, Fu Tiao sat on a chair in the corner of the room, cleared his throat, nodded, and spoke with a slight ease.

"It's quite satisfying, because I have reached the level I expected, I think about my music again, think about some of the problems in my music that I haven't noticed, think about how I can resolve these problems, so that my music and Chopin itself can become a whole again, not just the self, for example, the chord progression I played at the beginning, a simple TSpDpDD5DT, we should not just think about TSpDpDD5DT, but we should think, What does this TSpDpDD5DT mean to me, what does it mean to Chopin, why did he choose DD5 to go to D, instead of going directly from Dg to Dp and then to T......"

The corners of Wang Kai's mouth twitched, and he immediately reached out to stop Fu Diao from continuing.

"Okay Fu tune player, we know, there is no need to talk about terms such as DD5, D, Dp, Dg, T, Sp, etc., simply put, this performance makes your music more complete, your thinking about Chopin can be integrated into your music, so that the Chopin in your music becomes more concrete, and your own interpretation is clearer, probably this means, right?"

"Well, yes," Fu nodded.

"Okay, I got it." Wang Kai turned the page of the record in his hand, looked at the question above, and continued to ask Fu Diao: "Although it is a bit early to say this, I actually want to know what you think of Zhao Chengzhen, as far as I know, he should be the most difficult player you have encountered in the Chopin International Piano Competition, especially since he has been suppressing you in the first two rounds, and now in the third round, do you have the confidence to defeat Zhao Chengzhen and win the first place in the third round?" ”

Fu Diao didn't speak, but looked at Wang Kai with some puzzlement, and hesitated: "The third round? Haven't I finished comparing myself to him? I won. ”

"Huh?"

"Cho Sung-jin's performance in the third round is very powerful, if his most perfect state in the second round is 80 points, his performance in the third round should be able to score about 90 points, he put all his consciousness on the music, thinking about Chopin's extreme, he has also achieved what he can achieve, the most extreme Chopin, and even the ultimate of this game, if you simply discuss Chopin, I think no one should be able to defeat Cho Sung-jin."

"Huh? But you just ...... the Fu tune player."

"But I'm not playing Chopin's extreme."

Fu Tiao looked at Wang Kai, who was a little stunned in front of him, very seriously, and explained to Wang Kai little by little.

"Cho Sung-jin is playing Chopin's extreme, I am not playing Chopin's extreme, I am playing...... It is the ultimate of the self, what I have been pursuing is to maximize the interpretation of the self without destroying the composer himself, and I have also achieved the ultimate of the self in this competition, the music I pursued. ”

"It's still based on Cho Sung-jin's score of 80 points in the second round, his score in the third round is 90 points, and my score is ......"

"It's a perfect score."

There was no joke in Fu Tiao's expression, it seemed to be very natural, and he didn't blush or be shy at all because he was praising himself, as if he was stating a very simple matter.

"He's strong, there's nothing wrong with that, he's been improving, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just that now I'm stronger than him, I'm improving faster than him, that's all."

Wang Kai looked at Fu Tuo, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a little, and then smiled bitterly, signaling that the camera behind him was turned off first, and then said to Fu Tuo.

"Fu Tuo, are you sure you say that? Doesn't that seem to me to be a bit too arrogant? As a Chinese, isn't it the most humble? In this way, I feel that the public opinion of Huaguo is not good, and many people may scold you for being arrogant? It's not a good thing to give that group of people a point of attack. ”

"But is that true?"

Fu was puzzled: "Zhao Chengzhen really doesn't play as well as me, don't you hear it?" ”

"I ......"

Wang Kai was speechless, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only spread his hands helplessly, and waved his hands casually in the air.

"Well, whatever you want, it's okay to be arrogant, which may be liked by some people abroad, after all, many of them like the kind of arrogant, individualistic people, and don't like the kind of robots that are like the same ones made in the machine factory."

"But I'm really not arrogant......," Fu said weakly.

"Okay, well, I know you're not arrogant." Wang Kai didn't bother to listen to Fu Tiao's quibbles, so he gestured to the camera on the side, asked him to turn on the video recording function again, and continued to ask Fu Tiao.

"Okay, now for the last question, if you make it to the fourth round, do you have anything you want to say?"

"What I want to say ......"

Fu Tiao thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "There's nothing you want to say, I shouldn't have many problems entering the fourth round, right?" If I don't get in, the three of us shouldn't be able to get in today, so I shouldn't have a problem getting into the fourth round...... But if Zhao Chengzhen's limit is only in this place, then he should still not be able to beat me in the final of the Chopin International Piano Competition, probably that's it. ”

"Good guy, you seem to be more arrogant, if Zhao Chengzhen hears your words, he may be angry, I will remind the staff in charge of editing to cut your interview with Zhao Chengzhen together, so that your spark will be stronger." Wang Kai smiled, got up and motioned to the staff on the side to turn off the camera in his hand, turned off the recorder, put the notebook back in his pocket, rubbed his waist, and reminded Fu Tune.

"But although your current performance is above Zhao Chengzhen, I still need to remind you that the final of the Chopin International Piano Competition is the most uncertain round, many top bigwigs have overturned, and even some players who were originally in the second echelon were able to suddenly stand up and get a high ranking."

Fu Diao's body, which was about to leave, couldn't help but freeze, and looked at Wang Kai behind him, a little puzzled.

"Why?"

"Why? I don't know why, maybe it's because they have less time with the band? Or is it something else? I don't know much about ...... either."

Wang Kai shook his head, motioned to the photographer to go out first, and said to Fu: "The day after tomorrow, that is, after the announcement of the fourth round of contestants, you have 4 days to prepare for the finals, if I am not mistaken, it seems that one person has 3 hours, the band does about 3 people a day, the specific time depends on the deployment, after all the results are done, rest for a day, start the finals, probably like this." ”

"According to the normal situation if you play Chopin's piano concerto for 1 hour, the number of times you practice with the band is only 3 times, so many players and the band do not get on stage perfectly, and there are some ideas before the game that are not clear to the conductor, it is easy to cause chaos in the play, and it is normal for top players to overturn, and it is rare not to overturn."

"So in the fourth round, you just make sure you're in shape, don't pay too much attention to the other players, this is what I heard from one of my seniors, he listened to Xiao Sai four times and summed up the experience, I only listened to it twice, so ......"

Wang Kai shrugged his shoulders at Fu Diao, walked to the door of the lounge, opened the door and waved his hand at Fu Diao, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't say so much, see you later, I hope I can give you a championship interview." ”

"Well, I'll see you later."

Fu Tiao watched Wang Kai disappear behind the door, moved his body, and also pushed the door open and walked out.

Wang Kai had disappeared, and only the sound of the player behind him, Han, was left playing in the background.

The expressions of everyone around him were not very good-looking, and they all sat at their workstations frowning.

Fu Diao briefly listened to Han's performance, and probably knew the reason why these people frowned.

...... of Han Dan It's too pediatric.

Especially when compared with his performance, it seems particularly boring, much like the kind of children's performance.

This is probably the reason why others are frowning.

Han actually plays very hard, and if he is placed in the back, he can even be regarded as a very good type of person, but he has a problem, that is, he doesn't seem to be very lucky, and he plays behind Fu Diao, and even if he can play one more later, maybe it will be better.

But in fact, it's normal, after all, luck is also part of strength, and no matter how good luck is if the strength is not enough, even if you enter the finals, you won't have a chance to get the rankings.

Unless everyone is hospitalized with food poisoning, he is the only one left to compete.

But luck is like this, you don't buy lottery tickets to win 50 million, you come and count on all the opponents to be hospitalized, isn't this a bit tyrannical?

Fu Tiao continued to listen to Han's performance for a while, and after confirming that he had no chance of advancing to the next round, he shook his head, pushed open the backstage door of the concert hall, and walked outside.

Now that Han is the last, he can't listen to Han De when he goes back to the concert hall, because unless he changes players, the door of the concert hall will not open, and it is useless to go back.

In addition, I just chatted with Wang Kai and the two of them for a long time inside, and Han probably won't be able to play it for long.

So Fu Diao didn't have any idea of waiting for the end at the door of the concert hall at all, but walked directly to the outside of the concert hall, bought a cup of street coffee outside, leaned in front of the pillar on the side of the concert hall, and looked at the gray sun above his head in a daze.

He just sipped the coffee in his cup one by one, completely letting go of his brain and not paying attention.

Drinking until the last sip, he glanced at the coffee shell in his hand, suddenly thought of Yu Tianyou, a little hesitant, pinched the paper cup into a ball, and planned to stuff it behind the pillar, but when he put his hand behind the pillar, he found that there were three or four paper shells stuffed in the back, and one of them was particularly familiar.

Fu Tiao couldn't help coughing lightly, picked up all the paper shells and threw them into the trash can in the distance, and when he came back, Han was probably over the performance, and some people had already started to walk outside, discussing today's game with great excitement.

Three of the adults are discussing Zhao Chengzhen, sixty percent are discussing him, and the remaining one is ...... It's about discussing what to eat for lunch.

Fu Diao stood on the side of the crowd, and after waiting for a while, He Shen and Yu Tianyou walked out of the crowd, but they were not two people, but three people.

There was also a very old-looking man chatting with He Shen casually, and the two seemed to be chatting very happily.

When they saw Fu Diao, their eyes lit up, and they instantly walked towards Fu Diao's side.

Before Fu Diao could ask, He Shen took the lead in speaking, walked to Fu Diao's side, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Fu tune, I played it well today! Awesome! He is worthy of being a student of my He Shen. ”

After that, without waiting for Fu Tiao to speak, he said to the man beside him.

"Chris, you don't need me to introduce you, do you? This is Fu Tune, my student! Although I didn't bring it up myself, but it was also a student I took for a long time, and you should hear the contrast in his music very clearly, so I don't need to say more, right? ”

"Yes, I know!"

The man named Chris nodded, watched Fu Tuo stretch out his hand that was larger than usual, and said with a smile.

"Hello, Fu, my name is Chris Liszt, not the historical Liszt, in order to avoid misunderstanding, you can just call me Chris."

"Then, I want to ask you a question, which is...... Are you interested in studying at Eastman School of Music? If you want, I can introduce you to a great mentor. ”

Fu Tiao couldn't help but be stunned, and the hand he was about to stretch out was directly fixed in the air, not knowing whether he should take it back now or if it was better for me to go up.

He didn't expect this person who had just come over to say this to him and invite him to study at the Eastman Conservatory, and the whole person couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and couldn't help but look at He Shen beside him and blinked.

Eastman...... Conservatory? ”
