Before Fu Tiao could react in any way, Emilia had already left, returning to her seat, not giving Fu Tiao the slightest time to react.

When Fu Diao wanted to say something, the people around him kept applauding, congratulating Fu Tiao with great excitement on the honor, interrupting his thoughts, Fu Diao could only smile helplessly, and raised the award trophy in his hand to everyone.

The winner of the Chopin International Piano Competition and the best Chopin Piano Concerto at the Chopin International Piano Competition are not just ordinary honors, and the combined prize money of the two is 35,000 euros.

At that time, it was still 7.9, or even 8 at the exchange rate, this 35,000 euros could be exchanged for 280,000 soft sister coins!

280,000 after tax deduction for one game!

The check for the prize money was placed on the back of the certificate, looking at the people around him, Fu Tiao's hand involuntarily groped for the two checks, and the corners of his mouth grinned slightly.

Before the competition, he was still an ordinary poor music student who was anxious about renting a house in Warsaw, and even lived directly in the suburbs in order to save money, and it took half an hour and an hour to get to the city by car, and even saved money in some places.

But now, no matter what, participating in a competition, not only did the invested money earn back as it was, but also earned a comparison, which is still a good feeling.

Even according to He Shen's side, the money he can get is just the beginning, and there is more money to get in the future.

For example, the sales of records, after the championship concert of the Chopin International Piano Competition, there will be a specially arranged record signing, and after the money for the signing subtracts the production cost and publicity cost, he can share almost 30% of the total price, which is very good, and can even be regarded as a special offer.

After all, you have to know that the price of this record is not the kind of game or the kind that directly copies a backup for you, and does not need any particularly high-cost items, he is physical, and needs to be distributed with the record company and the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee in addition to the creator, and it is already very good to be able to give 30%.

Even many people can only get 30% of the net profit.

So in this way, Fu Tiao can get almost 10 euros for every record he signs and sells.

This is the price of on-site signing, and the subsequent issuance price may be much cheaper, but it can also make a lot of money.

However, these are small heads, a money that can continue to earn a steady stream of income, and the bigger ones are still to come.

After the competition, you can rely on your own backstage identity to enter the school, and get the school bonus.

There is no problem for a game to directly make Fu Diao's direct income reach 500,000 soft girl coins.

Subsequent commercial development will also give him more income, but those incomes are invisible, so no one knows how much he will be able to get in the future.

He looked at the three people around him, Hamelin smiled the happiest, and Zhao Chengzhen smiled more reservedly.

Hamelin's second place was 20,000 euros, plus 10,000 euros for Zimmermann, the best piano sonata, and 30,000 euros.

Cho Sung-jin's Best Polonaise, like Fu's Best Piano Concerto, is 5,000 euros, so the total amount he received is 25,000 euros.

As for the third place Kate Liu, she got 10,000 euros for the third place and 3,000 euros for the best Mazurka, which was only 13,000, which was immediately half less than Zhao Chengzhen.

Not only that, but she doesn't have the right to participate in tonight's winner's concert, let alone a follow-up signing.

Therefore, the most valuable part of the Chopin International Piano Competition is the first and second, and the third is no longer so valuable.

As for those in the back, even if there are a few thousand euros, those are some consolation prizes, barely enough for them to pay for the round-trip air ticket, accommodation and food.

Although it is not fair to compare the achievements of these people present with the amount of prize money they received, it is also the easiest way to see the weight of these players in the minds of the agency and the organizing committee of the competition.

Those who have no commercial value and are still average, who will give them so much money?

They were all eliminated long before they reached the third round.

The applause was still ongoing, the judges on the stage and those guests came one by one to greet Fu Diao and others, congratulate Fu Tiao and others on their achievements, and after everyone officially met, the staff took everyone off the stage, the stage was re-emptied again, and began to push the piano placed in the corner of the concert hall to the center of the stage.

The award ceremony is just a small hors d'oeuvres, and everyone predicts before the award ceremony, guessing who this year's awards will be given, and no matter how elated the host says above, they will not become particularly excited, excited, or even surprised.

For them, the most important thing of the day is the upcoming Chopin concert.

The stage in the concert hall has been cleaned up, and the Steinway & Sons used by the previous contestants has been pushed back into the middle of the stage, waiting for the winner.

The crowd off the stage was also gearing up, taking a break, waiting for the host's voice, and then walking on the stage to begin their first performance on the world stage.

Zhao Chengzhen stood in front of the stairs of the stage, looked at the staff who were tidying up the stage, turned his head to look at Hamelin behind him, Fu Diao and the two, I don't know why, suddenly laughed.

"Then again...... In fact, it is not us who makes the most money this year, but Steinway, and Steinway is the biggest champion of the year. ”

"Haha, Zhao, you're right, if Steinway contacts me in the future, I must ask them to give me a little endorsement fee." Hamelin also smiled.

Everyone's mentality is very good, and their expressions are extremely relaxed when chatting.

After all, everything has been settled, and there is no room for change, and it is impossible to get more money because of the good performance of this concert, and deduct your salary or something if you don't perform well, so everyone has no burden in their hearts and can chat normally.

Fu Tiao also said with a smile on his face: "Maybe I can use Fazioli at the concert, which I have never dared to use before, to give Steinway a little shock." ”

"Fu! You're like that! You're a genius! Hamelin looked at Fu Tune with a shocked expression, and then laughed: "Good idea! I think it's a good idea, but it's a bit bad if we all change it to Fazioli, or let's each change to a new one, Fu, you use Fazioli, I use Yamaha, Zhao, you use kawai? ”

"Is that okay? Who let Steinway not give us money, but I want Yamaha! Do you use Kawai? Zhao Chengzhen also replied happily.

"Nope! I hate the feel of Kawai when I press a cake, it's so bad, I hate it. ”

"Okay, then let Fu play Kawai, you use Fazioli."

"No, I don't like Kawai either." Fu Tuo immediately shook his head.

Hamelin stared at Fu Tune with wide eyes, and pretended to exaggerate and said, "Fu! Hello so ruthless, Kawai is so pathetic, none of us want to use it, don't you think it's pathetic? ”

"You think it's pitiful, so you use it? I really don't need that cake feel. ”

"Hey, I don't really want to use it...... Zhao? ”

"Don't look at me, and I don't want to."

The three of them laughed as they spoke, but they said that they wanted to change the piano, but there was no movement in their behavior, and they did not go on stage to call the staff to change the piano.

After all, there are a lot of things that need to be done to temporarily change the piano, and it is not that you can use the piano directly.

Everyone has been using Steinway for so long, and when they reported their own list, they also reported Steinway, so the organizing committee only kept one Steinway and the other pianos had been taken back by those manufacturers in advance, so they didn't have stock there.

If you want it, you must be able to transport it, but there is no way to tune it on the way, which may make the concert fall apart.

So everybody was just joking over there.

However, everyone quickly got back to normal, because the staff walked down from the stage, looked at the three people who were standing at the backstage door, wearing straight suits but with slightly uninhibited expressions, blinked, and said a little hesitantly.

"Three teachers, that ...... Wait a minute, the concert is about to start, you guys...... You ready? ”

"Ready, no problem."

Hamelin was the first to get up, and after arranging his clothes, he returned to the second place in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

He looked at the host and smiled, "Do you want to go up now?" ”

"Wait a minute, you prepare backstage, and the other two players will also invite you to take your seats at the designated seats."

"Okay."

Fu Tiao and Zhao Chengzhen nodded at the same time, and then Zhao Chengzhen looked at Hamelin and smiled lightly: "Come on." ”

"Okay, come on, too."

Hamelin waved his hand at the two of them, stood in front of the steps of the concert hall, and straightened his collar, making his emotions more stable and confident.

He stood there with great ease, waiting for his entry.

Fu Diao and the others followed the guidance of another staff member and walked to a position on the side of the stage and sat in the corner of the concert hall.

Although you can't see anything in this position, you can only see the high stage wall, but there is no problem in listening, and it is very easy to enter the backstage in this place.

By the time they sat in their seats, the concert hall had become so dark that you couldn't see anything, not even the people sitting next to them.

A completely enclosed concert hall, without any natural light, even if it is a door, the door is a corridor, and the light in the corridor is not eye-catching, and it is almost impossible to penetrate through the crack in the door.

The ultimate darkness brings the ultimate tranquility, you can only hear your own breathing, and everything else seems to be isolated from you.

That's what the Chopin International Piano Competition wants, and they want everyone to focus on the music, not everything else.

After everyone was completely seated, the host's voice sounded.

"Charles Richard Hamelin! Canada! ”

The soft applause rang out, not enthusiastically, not because he didn't like Hamelin, but because he didn't want the silence to be broken.

In front of everyone's eyes, a gentle orange-yellow light fell from the spotlights in the sky, illuminating the translucent piano in the middle of the concert hall.

It was completely different from the previous competition, which lowered the lights on the auditorium seats and turned up the lights on the stage to keep everyone's attention on the piano, but it was not as bright as it is today.

The light in the center of the stage was only visible to everyone, and almost nothing else could be seen.

Hamelin walked slowly out to the applause of the crowd, he seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the setting of the concert, and even had a trace of trance when standing in the center of the stage.

Soon, however, he returned to his normal state, bowed lightly to the crowd, sat down on the piano bench, raised his hand, and pressed it gently.

The sound of the piano poured out, and as he had been with everyone's impression, he was full of classicism, with a tenderness that was characteristic of Chopin, and made people reluctant to wake up as if they had fallen into a gentle country.

The same is true of the pieces he played, similar to those he had played at the competition, with his best Chopin piano sonatas as the backdrop to construct his own characteristic music.

Listening to Hamelin's music, Fu Diao's body couldn't help but relax for a while, leaning on the softer sofa behind him, and his thoughts drifted away.

Everyone in the Huaguo live broadcast room nodded their heads as they listened to Hamelin's performance, and whispered to each other.

"Hamelin's performance is really good, and I still like Hamelin's performance a lot."

"Just like the previous interviews with the judges, they have a very precise definition of Hamelin, the most extreme classicism, full of classicist characteristics, although I don't like his interpretation very much, but listening to his performance, it does give people a feeling of relaxation."

"I can only say that he is worthy of the title of second place, if there is no Fu Tune this year, there is no Zhao Chengzhen, he may really be able to get the first place, not the current second place."

"This sentence is a bit taken for granted, if there is no Fu Tune this year, you may be able to meet other players, such as Fu Yu and the like, who don't have the ability to crush everyone who won the championship that year, that's not good."

"Yes, it does, it's just a bit of a shame, after all, he's a good enough fighter to compete for the title."

Everyone listened to Hamelin's performance, and couldn't help but show a trace of regret, Hamelin is really a pity, and it can only be said that he was born at the wrong time.

If he was born five years earlier, maybe he could get the first place in the last session, since Li Diyun after the championship, almost no one can give a particularly deep impression, that is, this year's Zhao Chengzhen Fu Diao two excellent strength, let the Chopin International Piano Competition from the slump to reinvigorate, otherwise......

Unfortunately, no matter what, there was no if after all, and as Hamelin's performance ended, applause rang out, and he got up from the stage, saluted the crowd with great grace, and turned and walked off the stage.

Just like the stereotype of the pianist with others.

And Zhao Chengzhen, who was beside Fu Diao, didn't know when he was also reminded by the staff, so he left Fu Diao's side and walked to the backstage of the stage.

There was a commotion in the concert hall, and everyone coughed quickly, clearing their throats to relieve the exhaust fumes that had just been held in their lungs during the music, and then looked at the stage with a smile again, waiting for the next contestant to appear.

It didn't take a long time, but after waiting for a few minutes, the lights in the concert hall were turned off again, applause rang out, and Zhao Chengzhen walked out of the stage, bowed to everyone gently, and sat on the piano bench.

Chopin's extreme, the extreme Chopin, his music is incomparably thorough, without any superfluous impurities, which perfectly meets everyone's imagination of his music.

Every trace of it looks so crystal clear.

Hamelin walked out of the back of the stage at this time, sat next to Fu Tuo, admired Zhao Chengzhen's performance with a flat expression, looked at Fu Tune on the side, couldn't help but move his head closer and whispered.

"Amazing, right?"

Fu Tiao looked at Hamelin beside him, and didn't react for a while, but Hamelin grinned and said: "No matter how many times I listen to it, I am still attracted by the purity and transparency in Zhao Chengzhen's music, sometimes I really envy you, and Zhao Chengzhen, who can always confront each other head-on and experience that pure sense of oppression at close range." ”

"Then you can give it a try." Fu Tiao also chuckled quietly: "This feeling is not something that can be experienced casually. ”

"If I had the chance, I would have really liked to experience it, but I didn't seem to have many chances, because after this game, we'll probably never see each other again in our lives."

Let's say, Hamelin sat upright, enjoying Zhao Chengzhen's performance with great ease, feeling the purity in his music that baptized his soul.

The same is true of Fu Tune, who puts aside the mind of confrontation to appreciate the opponent's music, and naturally experiences not pressure, but appreciates the beauty that is omnipresent in his music.

It's just a pity that when Zhao Chengzhen's performance was not completely over, the staff came over and shouted Fu Tune and asked him to wait backstage, and he was the next to appear.

Fu Tiao glanced at Zhao Chengzhen on the stage with a little regret, and without any hesitation, he got up directly and walked in the direction of the backstage, and stayed at the back of the stage again, where he waited for the turf several times during the game.

This time, the backstage of the concert hall was much more empty than before, with countless cameras and staff members gone, except for one waiting staff member standing there, peering towards the stage.

The last note fell, and there was a roaring applause on the stage, and the staff who had been looking at the direction of the stage turned around, looked at Fu Tuo, and said with great respect.

"Mr. Fu, now it's your turn to play."

I changed my name as a writer.,Now I'm called "Teacher Hard-Practicing Piano Zuo", if you don't dislike it, you can call me Dazuo.。

Sir，this way！
