The applause roared, and after Fu Tiao bowed to everyone three or four times in a row to thank him, he walked off the stage for the first time.

If the applause doesn't stop, he probably needs to continue to bow and thank him repeatedly, or see if he is in a good mood, and if so, it is the usual encore.

However, before Encore, there was probably less than a minute or two to give Fu back to the backstage to rest.

As soon as he returned to the backstage, a staff member brought Fu Tiao water and a towel, and asked him to wipe the sweat from his forehead briefly.

In the back, someone took biscuits, candy and other small snacks and put them on the table, signaling that Fu Tiao could enjoy them casually.

Compared to the audience outside, the crowd inside the room was applauding and shouting excitedly, such as "Bravo" and "good".

After all, this is just the infield compared to the group of people in the outfield, and everyone is not here to take the TOEFL IELTS test, or to do some level 4 or 6 exams, everyone is just simple speaking, and there will be no particularly strange advanced vocabulary in it.

Fu Tiao couldn't help but smile when he looked at these people, and bowed slightly to everyone, but when he got up, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong.

A familiar figure appeared at the back of the room.

When he saw this person, Fu Diao didn't have these thoughts and thanked everyone at all, and his eyes were fixed on the person at the back of the room.

Simon Rattle, Sir Simon.

He had met Sir Simon at the Royal Academy of Music and had a brief chat, but he had no idea that Sir Simon would suddenly come backstage at his concert.

Sir Simon still clapped at him with a smile on his face?

When did he come to his concert? I don't think I ever said anything about it before......

Although he has no superior-subordinate relationship with Sir Simon, looking at Sir Simon's current appearance, Fu Tiao always feels that something is not right.

It's like if you have a very good relationship with a teacher, and he is not responsible for the defense, so you mess around with him and talk a lot of strange things, but when you arrive at the scene of the defense, there is the teacher sitting in the middle of the defense, and he is still waving to you with a smile.

It may not be particularly accurate, but Fu Tiao does have some panic in his heart now, and it is difficult for him to describe his inner emotions.

Sir Simon's presence directly washed away his emotions when he played on stage.

Fu Tiao looked at Sir Simon, who was applauding, and couldn't help but hesitate a little, and then raised his hand lightly and whispered to Sir Simon.

"Sir Simon...... Good evening? Long time no see? ”

"Good evening, Fu! But we can't be considered to have seen each other for a long time, and we only met a few days ago, so don't tell you to forget about it. ”

Sir Simon looked at Fu Tune very happily, he took two steps forward, opened his hands and hugged Fu Tune, and then patted him lightly on the back and smiled.

"But, Fu, you're playing really well, and I like your playing very much."

"Ah...... Thanks a lot? ”

Fu Tiao listened to Sir Simon's praise, and his head couldn't help but be a little more confused, but he still nodded lightly, accepted Sir Simon's approval, and after he let go of his hands, he hurriedly asked.

"Sir Simon, you ...... When did it come? ”

"Me? I actually just came, probably in the second half. ”

Simon Jazz laughed a few times: "I listened to your performance in the second half, and your level and strength have increased a lot, and it is completely different from when I was in Berlin before!" ”

"I've been through a lot lately, and I've been running a lot around Europe, so I'm thinking a little bit more about music."

Fu Tuo scratched his head slightly embarrassed, not too embarrassed.

After all, from his side, there was a feeling that Sir Simon was blaming him for not giving his full play in Berlin.

However, Sir Simon didn't think so, he just praised and encouraged Fu Tune again, and kept saying that some parts of Fu Tune were very effective, and then smiled at Fu Tune.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot, Fu, I have an idea I want to tell you, I don't know if you don't have this intention?"

"Thoughts? What's the idea? Fu was puzzled.

The others around him also seemed a little unsure of what Sir Simon was trying to say, and everyone looked at him curiously, wanting to know what Sir Simon and Fu Tiao thought.

Could it be an invitation to some concert?

Or maybe it's a Christmas dinner?

Or introduce friends to get to know Fu Diao?

After all, in addition to music, most of the communication between musicians is probably just these things.

It's just that the expectations they made in their hearts have nothing to do with what Simon said.

They never expected Sir Simon to say that.

Sir Simon smiled at Fu and said, "That's it...... I want to sign you with the Berliner Philharmoniker! ”

Wow!

The room was suddenly shattered, and everyone looked at Sir Simon in disbelief, with a hint of confusion and confusion in their eyes.

What the heck? Are you kidding? Sir Simon wants to sign with Fu Tiao for the Berliner Philharmoniker?

Wait, wait, you heard me right, right? Fu Tiao wants to sign a contract with the Berliner Philharmoniker?

That's the Berlin Philharmoniker!

The crowd was completely dumbfounded, and the applause outside the house was enthusiastic, but inside the room was extremely quiet, and no one spoke.

All of them stared at Fu Tuo in front of them, looking at his expression with a hint of temptation.

They were curious if Fu Tiao would refuse this matter, and if so, ...... That's fun.

Although it is said that it is not as high as when he commanded Emperor Karajan, it has reached the first level in the world.

But now, no matter what, the Berliner Philharmoniker can also be among the top three in the world.

Especially with the present Sir Simon.

At present, the top few orchestras in the world are probably the Royal Netherlands Orchestra, and the second and third are the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna Philharmonic.

Even if Sir Simon may be leaving, the next Kirill Petrenko will take over the Berliner Philharmoniker.

Although I don't know what Kirill Petronko will be able to bring Berlin to in the future, at the very least, even if he leads poorly, there will be no problem with the top 10 of this orchestra.

After all, the basic quality of the people is here, even if they don't want Kirill Petronko to conduct, their orchestra that draws on the world's top musicians can use the legacy of the previous conductor to reach a relatively good level.

Just like the Vienna Philharmonic.

It's just that people play a little more ruthlessly, only listen to the words of the conductor they like, and when they encounter a new conductor or a conductor with a general relationship, they directly leave you to command themselves to play alone.

This is the main reason why the Vienna Philharmonic's level of strength is declining step by step.

The level of the orchestra is not really a very important thing for a pianist, the focus is on what level of orchestra can be signed with.

For example, the success of a pianist can be seen from many angles.

If the person likes to give concerts, then go and see how many concerts he performs per year.

If the person likes to record records, then look at the sales of the person's records.

If he's more average and doesn't particularly like both, then look at the number of signings he has with those top bands.

Generally speaking, the more the number of top orchestras signed, the stronger the level of the pianist, after all, the people in those orchestras are not blind, can't you tell if this person's level is good or not?

However, it must be worth mentioning that for example, for people like Zhu Xiaomei, who don't like to record and give concerts, and who rarely play those concertos, you can only evaluate her level from the same level of Bach players.

I can't think that her level is weak because she has fewer records, fewer concerts, and fewer cooperative orchestras.

Now Sir Simon and Fu Tiao's mention of letting Fu Tiao sign with the Berliner Philharmoniker is equivalent to handing Fu Tiao a step, a step to the top of the world's group of players.

This is the most precious step.

If the cooperation between Fu Tune and the Berliner Philharmoniker is very good, then Fu Tune will inevitably enter the eyes of other orchestras, and other orchestras will also tentatively sign a contract with Fu Tune to play a concert season to see the influence and situation.

Then decide whether to sign a long-term contract with Fu Diao.

Even if Fu Tune didn't sign with another orchestra, but only with the Berliner Philharmoniker, then Fu Tune would be enough to write this experience into his own file and promote it as an honor.

In other words, if you sign a contract with the Berliner Philharmoniker, you will basically step into the upper echelons of the music industry with half a foot.

It's almost all about benefits, and you'd be hard-pressed to find any flaws.

If I had to say it, it might be that some orchestra that doesn't play well with the Berliner Philharmoniker will not like you and won't sign you to do so.

That's all.

Envy rushed through everyone's hearts, making it difficult for them to calm down.

But there is no jealousy and hatred, after all, everyone knows their strength.

This is obviously not a state that they can achieve.

Only if the Fu Diao has this strength and the level of strength is in place, can he have a chance to be favored by the Berliner Philharmoniker.

As for them......

Just think about it.

The mood of the crowd was not calm, but Fu Tiao did not notice this, he just looked at Sir Simon a little blankly, not quite sure why he said this.

Fu asked puzzledly, "Sign the contract...... Is there any difference between the Berliner Philharmoniker and working with the Berliner Philharmoniker? ”

"Yes, if you sign with the Berliner Philharmoniker, we will take you with you on our Asian tour, European tour, and American tour, and if you need a show, you can also negotiate with us."

Sir Simon smiled and said, "Our tour will not pay more than your own tour, but you don't need to play the whole part, but only the piano concerto part of the first half, which is the first half, and these piano concertos are all based on you." ”

After a brief introduction to the tour, Sir Simon looked at Fu Tune and asked him.

"How? Any thoughts? ”

"Hmm......"

Fu Tiao felt that his head was a little big, and after struggling for a long time, he asked Sir Simon.

"Is it like a big boat? Is it? Am I a crew member on your ship? ”

Sir Simon was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Big ship? Hahaha, that's a great analogy, I like your analogy very much, indeed, as you said, it's like a big boat, a very big boat. ”

"This big ship is not only carrying you, but also many other people, I am the captain of this ship, and the Berliner Philharmoniker is the helmsman and crew of this ship, you are the guest of honor and the performer on this ship."

"They may choose to listen to our orchestra and sail to the other side of the music on this boat because of the luxury of our boat, but it is actually you invited guests who really decide to go on this boat!"

"I don't know what to say, can you understand?"

Fu listened to it, and finally understood everything Sir Simon had said, and grinned.

"Got it! I know what you mean. ”

"So...... What is your answer? ”

"My answer...... I actually quite like to play on your big boat. ”

Fu Tiao stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Although I don't know what works you need over there, I still hope to continue to work with you, I still remember the works you collaborated with me at that time, which were very good, I like them very much, and the symphonies you played by yourself, I like them very much." ”

"Haha, you played a good piece too."

Sir Simon hugged Fu Tiao with great enthusiasm, patted him on the back again, and smiled.

"Then, I will discuss this matter with Deutsche Grammophone and give you a contract that is not bad, and the specific details will come later, but there should be no major problems."

With that, he took two steps back, pointed to the door of the concert hall that was still open behind Fu Diao, and added.

"Alright, you go and play your game, the audience can't wait, let's get back...... See you in Berlin, Germany, and Merry Christmas to you. ”

"Okay, I'll see you back in Berlin, and all the same, Merry Christmas, Sir Simon."

Fu Tune waved to Sir Simon, looked at the person in charge next to him, and the rest of the staff, and smiled.

"Alright, friends, I'm on stage first, my audience can't wait."

With that, without waiting for everyone's answer, he turned around and walked towards the stage of the concert hall.

Wow!

The applause under the stage was warm again.

I haven't seen Fu Tiao's appearance, and many people originally had some regrets in their hearts and were ready to leave first.

After all, everyone's time is not unlimited, and after waiting for almost a few minutes, Fu Tune didn't come out, and some people were really in a hurry.

But who would have thought that at this time, Fu Tiao actually walked out again, bowed to everyone and did not leave the stage directly, but returned to his seat, and the originally somewhat tired person instantly became a lot more energetic again, and quickly ran to his position, staring at Fu Tiao, his eyes lit up.

They were curious to see what kind of performance Fu Tune could bring tonight.

It's just that I didn't think that Fu Tuo didn't start playing directly, but looked at all of them and said softly.

"Originally, I was going to play some Kapustin pieces, maybe playing Kapustin would be more in line with the structure of my concert, but I saw a guy backstage who said Merry Christmas to me, and I suddenly realized that Christmas was approaching."

He looked at the crowd who didn't make a sound and smiled.

"So, Merry Christmas to you guys."

With that, his hand lifted and placed it gently on the piano keyboard.

A Christmas song sounded that was not difficult.

It's just that this is not difficult, but it is just an illusion in front of everyone, in fact, Fu Tune Correction uses the same technique as before, gradually transforming the internal chords of this piece from the simplest popular chords to extremely complex jazz chords.

These chords complicate an otherwise simple Christmas song several times over.

But the music itself doesn't get cluttered with extremely complex chords.

On the contrary, the main theme of the music becomes exceptionally clear under Fu Tuo's fingers.

The crowd under the stage couldn't help but be stunned when they listened to Fu Tune's performance, and finally smiled, leaning their bodies against the back of the chair easily, enjoying the music played by Fu Tune.

Now, it's Christmas.

I just listened to the performance of Fu Tune and was immersed in Fu Tune's music for a while, and even forgot that it was Christmas.

Obviously there was no snow, and obviously there was no stove.

But for some reason, listening to Fu Tune's playing, they felt as if they were back in their cottage in the country, around the fireplace in the middle of the room, laughing and talking with their loved ones with a glass of mulled wine, or some ordinary drink.

The surroundings are full of Christmas decorations, whether it's Christmas stockings on the fireplace, or the Christmas tree in the corner of the house, or the empty cardboard shells piled up under the tree.

Although it is common sense that those paper shells should be filled with Christmas gifts, who has so many people in their homes and so many suitable paper shells to make gift bags?

Therefore, for those gifts under the Christmas tree, everyone puts a paper shell over there to decorate.

As for the real gifts, of course, they have to hand them over to each other.

Fu Tune's piano sound is graceful and melodious, and it doesn't seem to have any show-off elements in it, but the skill control in his hands, as long as people who have a little deeper understanding of music, can hear his strength.

Perhaps, this is the realm of great ingenuity.

Fu Tiao felt as if he had returned to the big ship of the past, playing Christmas works with the sailors and tourists he was familiar with, and dancing easily on the boat.

It felt as if everything had gone back in time.

The lights above his head were brilliant, and he even felt a little confused.

He smiled and interpreted the work in his hand, integrating everything from Christmas into the work and showing it to everyone.

As the last chord dissipated in the air, he raised his hands and turned to look at the silent crowd under the stage, gently raising his hand and smiling at them.

"Merry Christmas."

Wow!

The applause roared, and all kinds of blessings sounded chaotically under the stage.

But if you listen carefully, you'll find that they all say the same thing.

"Merry Christmas, Fu!"

Writing Christmas in July always has a weird feeling......
