Chapter 150: Winner's Reward
There was a roar of applause in the concert hall, and Fu Tiao sat on the piano bench in a trance for a while.
After that last note, the Chopin International Piano Competition is actually over for him, or for everyone, and if he wants to wait for the next one, he will have to wait until five years later, in 2020.
Thinking of this, in addition to celebrating the success of Fu Tune, everyone in the concert hall also felt a little reluctant, they were a little reluctant to end the Chopin International Piano Competition, and even wanted to watch and listen more.
It's just a pity that all this is just delusion after all, so they can only applaud Fu Yun vigorously, congratulate him on the smooth performance, and excited him to play perfectly.
Almost completely filling the concert hall: even more so with words like "bravo".
The doors of the concert hall were opened by the staff, and some people began to prepare to go to the area of Cho Sung-jin and Hamelin to buy their signed albums, while Fu Tiao stood on the stage, receiving congratulations and blessings from everyone.
It's not because he is more noble than other performers and doesn't leave the stage, it's just because there are a lot of people behind him, and everyone has been waiting for him to finish his performance, and only after the end of the performance will he come on stage to congratulate him on his performance.
For example, Argerich, Deng Taishan, Li Diyun and others.
There are also some of the leaders of the organizing committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition.
And the audience under the stage is leaving one after another, according to the guidance of the staff, if you like it, then go directly to the signing office of Fu Zhao, Zhao Chengzhen and Hamelin to sign.
If you are not interested, you can go out directly, and there is no compulsory consumption.
But the problem is ......
The concert of the champions and winners of the Chopin International Piano Competition is only held once in five years, and there are so many tickets that can only be signed by Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen.
At this time, I went straight away, completely giving up such a good opportunity, and it always felt like a bit of a tyrannical thing.
Others want opportunities that they don't have yet, so you just give them up?
Therefore, only a few people will choose to run directly from the door to the outside of the concert hall and give up looking for Fu to sign autographs.
Others, on the other hand, lined up very noisily, stood in the atrium of the concert hall where the winners of the Chopin International Piano Competition had been announced, standing at three tables, waiting for the book signing.
Everyone was very excited and kept discussing the content of the game.
Their cacophony had even reached the concert hall, where everyone on stage could hear it clearly.
Listening to these voices, Argerich smiled first, looked at Fu Tuo beside him with a hint of restraint, opened his arms, hugged him, patted him lightly on the back, and then took two steps back, looking at Fu Tuo, extremely satisfied.
"Fu, very good, the surprise you gave me tonight really exceeded all my expectations for you, really, your performance today is really perfect! I don't even know what to say to myself! I even remember the day we met, and there was a world of difference between how you did that day and how you are doing now! β
Fu Tiao didn't expect Argerich to be so happy, and couldn't help but smile: "Was my performance really that bad at that time?" β
"Poor? No, you weren't bad, you were just a layman. Argerich laughed lightly, and then felt that there seemed to be a little problem with what he had just spoken, and immediately added to Fu Tune:
"I'm sorry, it may be a bit too much to use a layman, but to explain it in more accurate words, you are like a child with a sledgehammer, with strong force, but you don't know how to play him, you can only rely on your own hard power to move forward."
Fu Tiao scratched his head in embarrassment: "Forehead...... I wasn't that bad, was I? β
Argerich immediately explained: "No, I didn't say that you were bad, I just said that your understanding of Chopin and music at that time was not enough, but after our meeting later, I don't know if you were enlightened, or experienced something else, after you broke the door and let your strength have room to play, everything about you became perfect." β
Anyway, you can now be regarded as a person in the temple of classical music, as time goes by, your basic body functions and the basic skills of your fingers may deteriorate, but your understanding of music will become stronger, I look forward to that day, and I also look forward to seeing that day alive." β
Saying that, Argerich took two steps back and gave up his position, Deng Taishan stepped forward, shook hands with Fu Tiao, congratulated him a few words without pain, and then stepped back directly.
After all, Deng Taishan didn't have a lot of thoughts about Fu Tuo, and you can even say that Fu Tuo directly interrupted his student's way forward, only allowing his student to get the third, fourth, fifth, and three rankings.
I can't talk about how much I hate it, but if I like it, I can't talk about it either.
After Deng Taishan, many other judges came forward to communicate with Fu Tuo, more or less expressing their intention to invite Fu Tuo into their conservatory.
Especially on the side of the beautiful country, they almost wrote the money on their faces.
Oh no, the least bad money is the conservatory in Saudi Arabia.
A man with a hooked nose who seems to have Indian ancestry, is said to be from the Saudi Arabian Conservatory, although he doesn't know how he came over, but he hinted to Fu Tiao that if he is willing to study in their conservatory and then stay in their conservatory to teach, there is not much problem with a few million a year.
After all, for them, they need to spend money to improve their global influence, whether it is technology or art, it is not a loss to spend money to invite these people to come over to teach and improve their strength.
However, for Fu Diao, making money is not his main need, of course, he will not reject making money, that is, before making money, he actually wants to improve himself, make his level higher, and set out in a more artistic direction.
It's not just ordinary, running to other conservatories to eat and wait for death, getting millions a year, maybe being asked to hold as many concerts as many times a year or something.
Therefore, without any hesitation, Fu Tiao directly refused their invitation, and under the man's regretful expression, he turned his head to talk to the others.
Everyone present expressed their goodwill and invitation to Fu Tiao, especially those from Poland.
The people from the Chopin Conservatory in Warsaw, Poland, almost said directly that if Fu Tuo agreed to come to Poland, they would allocate a house and money to the allottees.
Faced with these conditions, Fu Tiao rejected them all.
Until an old professor at the Berlin University of the Arts came to him.
In fact, this person is not only a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts, he also has many other identities, such as a professor at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music in the beautiful country, but because of the invitation of the Berlin University of the Arts, he will come to invite Fu Tune as a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts.
He looked at Fu Tuo gently, stretched out his hand to him, and said with a smile.
"Fu, your performance today is very perfect."
"Thank you." Fu Tiao didn't know what he meant, but he was an ordinary professor and judge, so he joked: "This sentence has been said by many people tonight, and I also know that I played very well today." β
"Haha, it seems that you are recognized by everyone as excellent! Are you interested in studying more at the University of the Arts Berlin? β
"Berlin University of the Arts?" Fu Tiao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the Berlin University of the Arts to appear in this place, he originally thought that it would be when he was alone with Li Diyun and others in a small room, and Li Diyun and the others would bring the people from the Berlin University of the Arts to discuss in front of him.
Therefore, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, and slowly spoke: "Hmm...... I'm still thinking about it. β
"Consider? What to consider? β
"Thinking about Berlin University of the Arts and Berklee College of Music, it is said that both of your schools have very good jazz music, so I have been thinking about whether to come to your school or go to Berklee College of Music......
"Berklee College of Music?" The professor couldn't help but raise his head, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands, and suddenly said, "Oh, you're talking about the Berkeley Global Jazz Institute, right?" β
"Huh? I...... I don't understand. β
"Berklee Global Jazz Institute is a Berklee College of Music under the name, or a concert hall of the same level, specializing in jazz, if you want to go jazz, you must go to the institute instead of Berklee College of Music."
"Huh?" Fu Tiao felt as if he was in a bit of a trance, and he always felt that the person in front of him was not the same as what he said before, so he could only hesitate: "Well, I'm still thinking about it, so I'm not sure, after all, my teacher He, as well as Li Diyun and others, are helping me go to the Berklee Conservatory, as well as the people from the Berlin University of the Arts to discuss, ask what kind of conditions it is, and then see how to do it." β
"Oh, that's right, you're talking about conditions."
The professor instantly realized that he knew what Fu Tuo was discussing with him, so he couldn't help but nod his head and said to Fu Tuo: "On behalf of the Berlin University of the Arts, I have come to formally invite you to come to the Berlin University of the Arts to study, and we will invite all the professors and honorary professors who teach at the Berlin University of the Arts to come over and discuss the follow-up teaching plan with you."
As is customary in Germany, you do not have to pay any tuition fees, and at the same time, the German Ministry of Arts and Culture and the Ministry of Education will give you a pre-tax income of 6,000 euros per month. β
"Pre-tax ......?" Fu Tiao interrupted him and asked, "So, what about after tax?" β
"Well, it's about 3,500 euros after tax, and after deducting other normal things, it may be about 3,000 euros a month." The professor explained to Fu Tiao: "The salary of a normal doctor in Germany has to be a doctor in the technical industry, and it will only be able to get the money at his disposal in a month, only about 2,300, and you can get 3,000 euros on your side, in addition to the normal government supplies, there are also some school supplies." β
"That's right......" Fu Tiao immediately understood what the concept of high tax rates on the German side was.
This tax is almost half deducted, which is also terrifying.
But soon, the professor added: "Don't look at this price, it's only 36,000 a year, if you put it on the side of the beautiful country, it is already very good to be able to take out 30,000 over there, and 30,000 is basically a doctor in the top industry in the beautiful country, and even engaged in production, so." β
"I know, I'll think about it, but I want to know more, your professors are ......" Fu Tiao probably knew the price that the German side could offer, and he now wanted to know the list of professors that the German side could give.
After all, if it was just for money, he just directly promised that Saudi Arabian person to go to Saudi Arabia to work as a doctor, and what beautiful country and Germany should he care?
When the professor heard Fu Tuo's tone, his expression instantly changed from the previous situation of being difficult because of the salary to extremely relaxed.
In terms of the strength of the school, he is not afraid of anyone at all.
"There are a lot of top pianists under each professor in the school, and even they have won a lot of awards, and they don't know how much they have done on the world tour, even the kind of Hanover before, the Israeli national treasure pianist, a professor of his level of strength, we also have nearly ten people, and there are almost 30 people who are a little worse than him, so I don't know if you like that professor very much, and I don't know which professor you can be suitable for, I don't think you recommend professors, But what I can be sure of for you is that the teaching style on our side will definitely meet your needs for the future direction! β
"Including Jazz?"
"Including Jazz!" The professor said in a very affirmative tone, "The level of modern jazz research on our side can be regarded as the highest on the German side, and it may not be as good as the performance of Berkeley Global Jazz Institute in jazz innovation, but we are not inferior in the breadth and breadth of jazz!"
I don't know why you would want jazz, but if you want to do both jazz and classical music at the same time, we at the Berlin University of the Arts are definitely better than Berklee Conservatory!
Unless...... You studied jazz at Berkeley at the same time, and then you went to Juilliard Curtis in New York to study classics. β
What he said was categorical, Fu Tiao thought about it, stretched out his hand and smiled: "It's very tempting, I'm really very interested, if I want to enroll, when can I meet with the professor?" β
The professor shook Fu Tiao's hand and said very seriously: "As long as you give a positive answer, then I will contact the school, discuss with them, set a specific time, and then inform you." β
The professor pulled out a business card from his pocket, with his name on it, as well as his phone number and email address.
γNicolasΒ· Teleγ
+49 01732066687

"This is my email address, if you are sure, send me an email, be sure to send an email, and after receiving your email, I will negotiate with the school for a follow-up meeting with the professor, or you can sign a contract with me directly here, okay." Taylor said to Fu Tiao very seriously: "You must give me an email!" It must be mail! β
"Okay, I'll send you the mail."
Fu Tiao nodded, took the business card from Taylor's hand, and carefully put it in his pocket.
After seeing his business card in his pocket, Taylor breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded at Fu Tuo, and said lightly: "Then, I'll wait for your news." β
"Okay."
Fu Tiao also responded with a smile, and after Taylor left, it was the next judge and the organizing committee to chat with Fu Tiao.
After all, Fu Tune is the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition, and no matter what you think, he is already on the road to becoming the top pianist.
As long as he doesn't have a hot head in the follow-up, gives up his career for women, or thinks about engaging in other messy industries, then he will definitely not be unknown.
This is especially true after hearing the performance of Fu tune today.
Therefore, no matter what kind of person they are, they are all communicating with Fu Tiao in a friendly manner.
All the way to the last person.
The man was wearing a neat suit, stood in front of Fu Diao, handed his business card to Fu Diao, and said very gently.
"Fu, there is not enough time now, after your signing is over, please come to the backstage of the concert hall, which is the room prepared by you alone before, and I will wait for you in that place."
"Wait for me? Why? Fu Tiao looked at the business card in his hand puzzled, he didn't know the name on it, he could only read the name.
The man smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll discuss with you the follow-up performance plan, as well as the signing of the recording company and other things, if you feel too rushed today, we can talk tomorrow." β
"...... like this"
Fu Tiao nodded thoughtfully and said softly: "Yes, then see you later." β
"Okay, I'll see you later, if you're afraid that I'll cheat you, you can go find Diyun Li, he is very familiar with these things, or Shen Hou can also do it, you can take them all and come to me together, I'll wait for you in the background."
Saying that, he nodded at Fu Diao, turned his head to look at Li Diyun behind him, showed a hint of a smile, walked past Li Diyun without any hesitation, and disappeared into the stairs.
Li Diyun looked at the man blankly, walked to Fu Diao's side, and wondered: "Who was that person just now?" β
"I don't know." Fu Tiao handed the business card in his hand to Li Diyun, "Do you know each other?" β
"Well, Deutsche Grammophone, I see."
Li Diyun instantly realized the content on the business card, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Fu Diao with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much about this matter, now go and enjoy your last fruit, your audience, but they are all waiting for you outside!" β
Just sent a friend away in Shanghai, home from Shanghai Station, posted a little late, sorry
Also, guess whose phone is Taylor's?
