A few days later, Berlin, Germany.

Fu Tiao didn't know how much effort the group led by Zimmerin had done for him, but he knew one thing, and that was that Zimmerlin and the others had succeeded.

The official staff of the Ruhr Piano Festival sent him an email.

The Ruhr Piano Festival didn't say anything like a riddler to let Fu tune come to Essen, they would surprise him or something.

Instead, he told him very bluntly, congratulating him on winning the Best Newcomer at this year's Ruhr Festival.

He is a well-deserved top pianist!

Therefore, at the closing ceremony of the Ruhr Piano Festival, they will pay tribute to Fu Tune, thank him for his contribution to the Ruhr Piano Festival, and thank him for his contribution to the future development and rejuvenation of classical music.

Although Fu Tiao can choose not to attend the closing ceremony at the Ruhr Festival, there is no mandatory requirement for the Ruhr Piano Festival.

However, the Ruhr Piano Festival did not make any unfavorable moves against Fu Tune, and if you deliberately play a big name and don't go to the world's top music festival, it will become Fu Tune's own bad.

Therefore, when Fu Tiao received the email from the Ruhr Piano Festival, he immediately sent them a letter of thanks, and then told them that he already knew and that he would attend the ceremony in time.

Therefore, after a few brief words with the members of his chamber orchestra, Fu Tiao said goodbye to them, returned to his room, found a few clothes and stuffed them in his bag, and took the train directly to Essen.

Perhaps because of the success of winning the best of this year's Ruhr Piano Festival, Fu Tiao looked at Essen, the city in the center of Europe, and for some reason, he somehow felt a trace of industrial beauty, not as ugly and dirty as he had seen when he first came.

"Actually, Essen is pretty good, right?"

Zimmerlin stood beside Fu Tiao, shook hands and hugged him, looked at the steel buildings in front of him with his gaze, and then turned his head to him and smiled.

"Although the cities in the German Ruhr area have a kind of stale feeling in them, which makes people want to look at the first glance and do not want to look at the second look, we have to admit that industrialization has not only brought about the destruction of nature, but also brought about a lot of development, even if these development opportunities have slipped away from the hands of the people of the Ruhr area, but the advantages brought by development have not been destroyed in this way, but have been changed to exist around everyone in another way."

"That's true, but ......" Fu Tiao looked at the building in front of him, with a hint of hesitation in his expression, and finally shook his head and said: "But I still can't like this city, this city still gives me the feeling of being stale and dilapidated, even if the development of this city is actually quite good, but I don't know why, I just can't like it." ”

"So how do you feel about Frankfurt? If you're flying back to Germany, you'll probably be passing through Frankfurt, right? ”

"Frankfurt...... I don't feel anything, I haven't been there yet, but even though I haven't, I've heard that there are a lot of addicts around the main train station over there, and it's uncomfortable. ”

Fu Tiao said to Zimmerlin, who was not surprised when he heard it, but laughed.

"Indeed, Frankfurt is the financial center of Europe, and the flow of people from such a huge station is also extraordinarily prosperous, I also spent some time in Frankfurt before, and the dirty mess and urine smell near the main train station make people even wonder whether they are in a third world country or in Europe, which has been criticized by people all over Europe for a long time, and I am used to listening to it."

"What about the addicts piling up around the station? And what about the people who deal in drugs? Do Fran, or the police on the Hesse side, really don't care at all? That's drugs! ”

Fu Tiao felt a little incomprehensible after hearing Zimmerlin's words.

Although his common sense of life is not considered to be a jack of all trades, he also knows what a drug addict means to a city.

He followed Zimmerin's footsteps and walked slowly in the direction of the Essen concert hall.

The Essen concert hall is about two kilometers away from them, and it is very comfortable to walk through, just in the state of being a little bit of exercise without feeling too tired.

Zimmerlin followed Fu Tuo's side, and after hearing Fu Tuo's doubts, he only paused for a moment, and then spoke to him.

"By the way, have you ever been to the main train station at the zoo?"

"The zoo's main train station? The one in Berlin? Fu was stunned for a moment and asked.

Zimmerin nodded at Fu Tune: "Well, that's it, now the main fire in Berlin is new, so the overall window is bright and clean, very modern, but if you go to the main fire of the zoo in the center of the city, although it is also called the main fire, but now the function of the main fire has been removed, but it has become a simple passenger transport hub, if you go to that below, you will find that even Berlin, there are also many homeless people." ”

"Well, I know, when I was in school, I transferred to the zoo and changed from line 2 to line 7, and I know what the zoo is like."

Fu Tiao said that he knew the situation at the zoo station, then frowned and asked, "Except for a lot of homeless people and the smell of urine, there shouldn't be any drug addicts over there, right?" ”

"Yes, it's just that you didn't pay attention, the people over there are actually similar to the people in Frankfurt, they are all homeless."

Zimmerlin smiled at Fu Diao, not feeling dissatisfied because of Fu Diao's doubts, and patiently explained to Fu Diao.

"The homeless are harmless, they don't do much harm to the city, they're as docile as little animals, can you understand that?"

"I can't understand ......" Fu Tiao always felt a little strange and scratched his head: "Why are homeless people harmless?" ”

"Because they take the government's welfare, if they are harmful and attack other people, they are not eligible to continue to receive benefits, but will be repatriated, a group of homeless people, taking the hundreds of euros of rental funds given to them by the government every month, hundreds of euros of living expenses, just spread them on the ground, wasting taxpayers' money, they live a life of nearly 1,000 euros every month in front of full-time homeless people, and then send the money to their homes!

What do you do lying on the street every day when you don't do anything? They can't help it, then take drugs, thanks to the damn government, their indulgence in marijuana, a low-drug, low-addiction, high-hallucinogenic drug, has completely deprived those homeless people of any minions, they will only lie on the ground and giggle happily every day, in the face of such a homeless person, what can those policemen do? Send them to prison? Taxpayer money isn't for this!

Recently, what is even more outrageous is that they have begun to prepare for the legalization of marijuana, because the police are too lazy to supervise people who smoke marijuana, and young people spend a lot of money to buy marijuana on the black market in order to be cool, and they can't collect taxes, so they start to think about legalizing marijuana, and the government will collect money, anyway, you all have to smoke it, it's better to give us the money, hehe, it's really ......"

Fu Tiao had no way to understand.

Zimmerin didn't ask Fu Tiao to understand anything, he just sighed softly, looked into the distance, and said casually to Fu Tiao.

"The situation is different in each country, and even everyone has different feelings about a thing, although the Ruhr area is very dilapidated, and all you can see is a gray area, which is hard to like, but what I see is a glorious history and the brilliance of industrialization! Even though I'm an artist, not a designer, but I still have a deep love for this industrialized city, including Frankfurt, and be patient with the homeless people, they are not aggressive, they don't have anything to lose. ”

With that, he took out a box of tobacco from his pocket, took out a cigarette paper and a filter cigarette holder, stuck out his tongue and licked the edges, and in just ten seconds, a brand new hand-rolled cigarette took shape in his hand.

He picked up the cigarette in his hand and smiled at Fu Tuo and explained.

"Don't be afraid, cigarettes only, basically only when the pressure is particularly high, I will choose one to relieve it, under normal circumstances, I still like to smoke cigarettes, especially directly rolled hand-rolled cigarettes."

"I ...... Still can't accept it. ”

Fu Tiao took two steps back and frowned.

Zimmerlin didn't continue to explain, but took a puff of the hand-rolled cigarette in his hand, turned his head and exhaled a puff of smoke to the other side.

"If you can't accept it, don't accept it, I'm just feeling a little tired, and I've finally succeeded in doing something, and when I finish it, I see that you don't seem to like the city, don't think about it."

Fu Tuo shook his head and said softly: "No, I just like greening a little more, that kind of garden city or forest city, for example, the big forest in the center of Berlin, my criteria for judging a city also start from greening." ”

"Hah! Then you must love Munich! The English Garden in the center of Munich is very beautiful, every time I go to Munich, I will definitely go to the English Garden, that city is really, people like it from the heart. ”

Zimmerlin laughed happily as he took a cigarette, then lit it, inhaled half a deep, and then exhaled the smoke to the other side, without spraying it at Fu Xuan, and then took another big breath.

In just a few clicks, a cigarette disappeared from his hand, and then a brand new hand-rolled cigarette appeared in his hand like a self-refresh material.

At this point, he stopped talking, for they had come to the vicinity of the Essen concert hall.

As one of the most important cities in the Ruhr area, Essen is more important here than Düsseldorf, and even before they reach the concert hall, they can already see the crowds around them.

Fu Tiao even felt as if he had gone back to the day of his own concert.

It's just a simple award ceremony, but I don't know why it's being held like this.

So many artists, so many audiences, and, so many promotional posters?

So many artists, so many audiences, and, so many promotional posters?

Posters for the closing ceremony of the Ruhr Piano Festival were particularly dense near the concert hall, and the audience was clearly enthusiastic about the final result of the concert.

Even if Fu Tune hadn't passed yet, he could still hear their discussion from the sporadic words coming from everyone.

"Guess who the best newcomer of the year is?"

"Is this still a guess? Sure Arcades! Arcade is so old, he should give Arcade to him in all sense! ”

"No, no, no, I think it's Dior, Dior plays it so well, I especially like his Chopin Ballade, his Chopin Ballade is one of the strongest versions of the Ballade I've ever heard, enough to take home and treasure it!"

"Shouldn't Dior say his passionate sonata? I think his passionate sonata is even better than Lang Liangyue's! ”

"I feel the same way, but I still like Arcade's Brahms, his timbre changes are almost magician-like and strange."

"Anyway, I will definitely choose one of these two this year!"

"Is it possible that Kissin? Kissin is in his forties now, right? ”

"Kissin's performance this year is average, it feels similar to Lang Liangyue, how can it be their turn?"

"That's it! I support a wave of Arcades! ”

“……”

Not only Fu Diao, but Zimmerlin, who was smoking a cigarette on the side, also heard everyone's conversation, he pinched off the cigarette in his hand and looked at Fu Diao, and said happily.

"How? How does it feel to see that the center of other people's discussions is yours, and you also know information that others don't know? ”

"How so...... It's a bit hard to put into words, right? ”

Fu Tiao groped his chin, looked at the people in front of him and couldn't help but speak.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"There must be a little bit of stealing joy, after all, he successfully won the best newcomer of the year, but there is nothing else."

"Tsk, it's just that I don't feel anything else, is it that simple? If I had known, I wouldn't have helped you. ”

After Zimmerin heard Fu Tune's words, he couldn't help but complain, then reached out and patted Fu Tune's shoulder, raised his eyebrows at the concert hall, and spoke.

"Go, go in, go in and get your glory while there are not many people."

"Hmmm......"

Fu Tiao nodded slightly, and followed Zimmerlin into the concert hall.

Instead of entering through the main entrance and finding the back door, as other ordinary spectators did, he walked directly to the staff entrance at the back.

The furnishings are still the same as when he performed here, and the staff working at the back of the concert hall haven't changed much.

The only thing that has changed is that there are a lot of people in suits standing at the back of the concert hall at this moment.

They all held their wine glasses in their hands, shook them slightly, and talked casually.

The wine had a faint blue-yellow color in their glasses, and if I guessed correctly, it was either champagne or white wine.

Anyway, it's definitely not red wine.

After Fu Tune came in, a messenger with a large number of goblets came to Fu Tune and lowered the tray in his hand slightly.

"Hello, today I am offering three white wines certified by VDP in the Riesling region, which are dry, semi-dry and sweet white wines, can I help you introduce them?"

"No, no, I ......"

Fu Diao shook his head slightly, and before he could say anything, the group of people who were chatting with wine glasses had already noticed Fu Diao's arrival, and walked to Fu Diao's side one after another, and said with a smile.

"Dior! Congratulations! ”

"Fu! Congratulations! Congratulations on your success in becoming this year's Newcomer of the Year! ”

"Perfect! Dior! You did it! Congratulations! ”

“……”

Most people don't know Fu Tune, but the fact that they can stand backstage in a concert hall says a lot.

Looking at the people who were gradually surrounding Fu Diao, Zimmerlin had already prepared to take two goblets from the waiter on the side, handed one of them to Fu Diao, and greeted the group of people, helped Fu Diao dismantle the block, squeezed out some space, and turned his head to Fu Diao and whispered.

"Just take it and pretend to be on the line, the wine here is forty or fifty euros a glass, it is not a particularly good collection type of wine, it is considered high-end and definitely not luxurious, this is a Western social occasion, simply chatting with wine, no one really comes to drink, this is still more suitable for your small circle of artists, if you go to the big circle, you will be more tired, you have to get used to it early."

“…… Good. ”

Fu Tiao thought about it, nodded lightly in agreement, and greeted everyone with a smile on his face, easily responding to everyone's greetings.

The vast majority of people present are people who know that Fu Diao won the best newcomer of the year, and the very few people who don't know about it are basically some staff members who are responsible for maintenance.

Therefore, everyone present was particularly enthusiastic about Fu Diao.

In the face of such a rising star in the art world of the future, everyone did not hesitate to praise them.

After all, for them, Fu Tune deserves such praise.

And Fu Tiao did not show any timidity in the face of these people, and seemed to have been used to such occasions, wandering among the crowd with wine, thanking them for their support.

This politeness lasted until Fu Tiao stayed in front of a person.

Arcade.

It wasn't just the critics, producers, and artists of the Ruhr Piano Festival Organizing Committee who were present.

Arcades also entered the backstage, and no one dared to stop him, after all, he was already a veteran of the Ruhr Piano Festival, with a higher status than some of the members of the organizing committee.

He watched Fu Tiao skillfully chatting with the crowd until Fu Tiao stood in front of him.

The two stood still, just looking at each other, without any movement.

Until Arcades raised the glass in his hand and said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Dior."

What comes to mind is Eva's last group of people clapping and shouting, oh, no
