Fu Tune, Oonesog, and Miller came backstage in the concert hall.

Miller and Fu Tiao walked from the small door to the side of the front desk of the concert hall, where someone had prepared their places for the two of them in advance, so that the two of them would not have no place to sit.

There weren't many acquaintances sitting around, but everyone was very excited about Fu Diao's ability to be around them, and from time to time someone patted Fu Tiao's shoulder or back behind him, asking for a handshake or encouragement.

As for Oonesog, he walked from the backstage to the stage.

The spotlight above his head shone directly on his body, illuminating him particularly brightly.

The crowd in the concert hall also gave them a round of applause, thanking Onestog for everything he had done for the Ruhr Piano Festival and looking forward to the explanation of the closing ceremony of the Piano Festival.

Under the gaze and applause of everyone, Onesog smiled at everyone, picked up the paper in his hand and said with a smile.

"See you again, all of you, I think many of you may be a little tired of me, right? I start every concert, but this time, I think even if you get tired of watching me, there's no way to get me out, because ...... I'm announcing the location of this year's Newcomer of the Year! ”

There was a burst of laughter from under the stage, but everyone's mood was different.

The vast majority of passers-by were just joking with Ooneog, after all, they had no idea who this year's best man was.

But those who already knew the inside story, who were more inclined to Arcade's side, smiled helplessly.

Arcade's defeat was also a blow to them.

And those supporters of Fu Tune are full of expectations.

Waiting for Fu Tiao's name to be pronounced.

Under the gaze of different emotions of the people, Oonesog did not keep hanging on everyone's appetite and did not say who this year's best person was, on the contrary, he said it very cheerfully.

He opened the letter in his hand and spoke to the crowd.

"In 2016, the Ruhr Piano Festival will award the Best Newcomer of the Year award to ......"

"Dio Fu!"

Wow!

The applause roared instantly, and in the applause of everyone, Fu Tiao stood up and bowed slightly to the people around him, and the smile on his face could not be suppressed at all.

The people around him also pulled Fu Tune and gave their most sincere blessings.

"Dior! Terrible! ”

"Very powerful, Fu, congratulations!"

"Fu, I already knew that you would definitely win the annual championship this year!"

"The Ruhr Piano Festival awards, it's really shocking, Fu!"

"Fu! Tutor! Tutor! ”

“……”

Dense voices sounded around Fu Diao, so that Fu Diao couldn't even hear what everyone was talking about.

He could only bow slightly to everyone helplessly, thank everyone for their support, and return to his position in the applause of everyone.

Onesog looked at Fu Tuo under the stage, his eyebrows were raised slightly, he smiled helplessly at everyone, and asked.

"That...... You're done applauding, can I continue? ”

With the laughter of the crowd, he shook his head, picked up the document in his hand and continued: "Every year the Ruhr Piano Festival honors artists whose life's work is closely related to the Ruhr Piano Festival, and then invites the scholarship winner to hold his or her recital the following year, and through this year's evaluation, we award the position of this year's Newcomer of the Year to Dior Fu, this is the first time we welcome him, but I believe that this is not the last time we welcome him."

Fu's first appearance is the most novel and shocking experience of classical music for all of us, and he shows us all his understanding and thinking about classical music, which is the way of thinking that represents young people, and also represents the thinking logic of the future direction of classical music, which is a direction that all of us classical music performers should think about.

That's ...... What exactly is classical music, and in what direction should the future of classical music develop?

Thank you Dio Fu for giving us such a perfect opportunity to rethink our music, and Dior was able to give us such an opportunity, not only for him, but also for all of us who practice classical music! ”

Wow!

The applause rang out again, and Fu Tiao reluctantly got up and thanked Oonesog and the others again for their compliments.

Under the applause, Oonesog coughed twice, and after a moment of applause, he continued to the crowd.

"With this performance, Dio Fu did not rest on his own personal level, but set his eyes on the world as a classical musician, and we are especially grateful to Dio Fu for sharing with us the initiative to organize a charity concert with the Dortmund Concert Hall to help children in war-torn regions around the world.

It's a perfect initiative, because we can see that even the younger generation of classical musicians are not musicians who don't listen to what is going on outside the window, but they are more like artists who are worried about the world and think for the people of the world.

I would even like to say that in my sight Dior is a pure man, a noble man, a man who has long since been detached from low tastes, as wide as the sea as his music, and I would like to call him the pianist of the sea! A true top performer!

He has always been open to our time, and we are very grateful for his many premieres in Germany and throughout Europe, including this year's European tour and the premiere of the Chopin International Piano Competition in Poland, which is an incomparable experience, even for those who do not know Dio Fu, they can hear his thoughts on life, life and death, and nature in Fu's music.

So, in view of the many wonderful musical moments we have had during the year, in view of his loyalty to the Ruhr Piano Festival, and in view of his friendship with the Ruhr Piano Festival, in July 2016 we awarded him the Ruhr Piano Festival Prize, which was presented to Franz Havel, Ornesog, which is me. ”

After taking a deep breath, Oonesog looked at Dio, who was staring at him under the stage, with a smile on his face, and took two steps forward and stretched out his hand.

"Dior, come up."

"Thank you."

Fu Tiao got up and walked out of the small staircase on the side to the stage to the cheers of the crowd.

The lights on the stage were still very bright, and even a hint of piano black reflection shone on his pitch-black suit.

What this reflection presents on Fu Tiao's body is the kind of holy light like God.

Fu tunes him, shining!

In the face of continuous applause, Fu Diao's face didn't know whether it was shy or because it was illuminated by the spotlight overhead, and it looked a little red.

He took the microphone handed over by Oonesog, nodded to everyone a little innocently, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you very much, thank you to the Ruhr Piano Festival Organizing Committee, and ......"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you just yet, I'll thank you when I give you the trophy for the Ruhr Piano Festival."

Fu was abruptly interrupted, and Onesog pushed out a small cart from the side, on which stood a black rectangular pillar, about one meter and two meters high.

Together with the cart below, it is almost 1.4 meters high.

On this four-meter pillar, there is a glittering gold trophy.

A trophy that represents the logo of the Ruhr Piano Festival.

Onesog pushed the car in front of Fu Tiao, stretched out his foot and stepped on the fixed lock, took a few steps back, and stretched out his hand to Fu Tiao.

"Alright, now it's okay, Fu, take your trophy and say your winning declaration."

"I ......"

Fu Tiao glanced at Onesog, who was smiling in the corner of his eyes, smiled helplessly, took a few steps forward, and reached out to grab the trophy of the Ruhr Piano Festival.

With a display stand of nearly 1.4 meters, Fu Tuo only needs to reach out slightly to reach the handle of the Ruhr Piano Festival trophy.

He grabbed the trophy and lifted it up slightly, a heavy sensation welling up from his palm.

As he thought, this trophy is not light, but very weighty.

At the top is the logo of the Ruhr Piano Festival, and at the bottom of the pedestal, the name of Fu is marked.

Although it is about 20 centimeters long, it doesn't seem to be long, but the weight is not small.

In Fu Diao's hands, he weighed it and felt that it could be about 3 kilograms.

"How do you feel, Fu, how do you feel when you touch the trophy of the Ruhr Piano Festival for the first time?"

Fu Tiao, weighing the trophy in his hand, looked at Oonesog not far away, couldn't help laughing, straightened up and said to him.

"Yes, it's weighty, and it's quite heavy."

Laughter rang out from off the stage.

Oonesog laughed similarly.

"Haha, it's heavy, it's a good word, this seems to be the first time I've heard a pianist say this word, I remember what those people used to say about feeling the feeling of history, and glory, or some other word, and bluntly said that this trophy is heavy, you are the first time I have seen it."

Oonesog took two steps back, retreated to the edge of the stage, and waved at Fu Tuo.

"Okay, Fu, now that the stage has been completely handed over to you, you can say whatever you want next, even if you say that this trophy may have been touched and unclean, it's okay, after all, this award has completely belonged to you."

"Okay."

Fu Tiao grinned, weighed the trophy in his hand again, looked at the people under the stage, and did not speak immediately.

He just looked at the audience very seriously.

The lighting of the stage was so intense that he couldn't see everything around him clearly, but he could recognize from the silhouette of the group of people who was standing under the stage at this moment.

Lang Liangyue came, and he came with his assistant Gina Alice.

Not far from Lang Liangyue, it was Kissin.

And behind Kissin, if I am not mistaken, it should be Argerich and Barenboim.

Sitting next to the two was none other than Arkady Vallodos, who seemed to be chatting with Argerich.

There were many, many others, and it could even be said that almost all the famous people in the German-Austrian circle, as well as in the Ruhr Piano Festival circle, came.

They were all looking at themselves, waiting for their own speech.

Fu Tiao didn't know why he felt a little dry in his mouth, he couldn't help licking his lips and said slowly.

"Okay, let's thank you first, thank you for the list that you didn't finish thanking just now."

Hearing Fu Tuo's words, everyone laughed again, and Fu Tuo also laughed twice with them, and then his expression gradually became serious.

His gaze seemed to pass through this concert hall and see the world beyond, and even the future, as well as the past.

There was a hint of exploration and reflection in his eyes, no one knew what he was thinking, but everyone knew that his emotions were becoming full.

Because, Fu Tiao spoke.

"Yes, if I really want to thank them, I should actually thank three people more than those people from the organizing committee.

Not my parents, not my teachers, not some stranger who handed me an umbrella on a rainy day, or my grandmother who ran away from home and gave me a bowl of wontons to eat when I was a child, but ...... Lang Liangyue, Kissin, and Arkady. ”

The scene was quiet, and although everyone was a little curious about why Fu Diao said this, everyone didn't say anything, just waited for Fu Diao's own explanation.

Lang Liangyue felt a little restless, and always felt that Fu Tiao would suddenly cue him.

Kissin was at a loss, completely unaware of why Fu Tiao would thank him.

As for Arcade, he just smiled and whispered something to Argerich, who was full of curiosity beside him.

Under the different reactions of everyone, Fu Tune continued.

"Thanks to Arcades Valodos, he showed me how classical music should be played at the highest level, in his performance I knew for the first time what kind of scenery classical music will be like when it reaches its extreme, and also gave me a name for the way forward, I deeply realized that classical music should be played in this way, this is what I have listened to many other people's music and have not heard, thank you Arkady Valodos!

You also deserve the title of Best Newcomer at this year's Ruhr Piano Festival, which should be an honor that I share with you, and not just me, and I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Arkady Vallodos. ”

Applause rang out, Arcades got up, waved at the crowd, and sat down.

After waiting for the applause to stop, Fu Tiao continued to speak.

"Then I need to thank Kissin, Mr. Evgeny Kissin, for your performance, although you did not succeed in performing a performance close to Arcady, but you also showed me the way, and with your performance and music, I understand what kind of effort I need to make if I want to play at the level of Mr. Valodos, really, very much."

Fu Tiao bowed again in thanks, although Kissin was not very familiar with Fu Tiao, and even the communication between the two was not at all, but he still got up, folded his hands and bowed slightly to Fu Tiao, and accepted Fu Tiao's thanks.

And just after Kissin sat down, Fu Diao sighed, looked at Lang Liangyue, who was sitting in front of him, a little restless, and said helplessly.

"Finally, I would like to thank some Lang Liangyue, really, very much."

“……”

Lang Liangyue got up, scratched her head a little helplessly, and complained: "Everyone else is talking about a long story, you kid won't say anything when you come to my side, right, just a simple thank you is gone?" ”

Both of them spoke in English, so Lang Liangyue's complaints after getting up could also be heard by others, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.

Fu Tiao looked at Lang Liangyue, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and waited for everyone's laughter to disappear before he spoke.

"Actually, no, Lang Liangyue also gave me a lot of help, helping me analyze Arkadi's performance and Kissin's performance, if it weren't for Lang Liangyue's help, I might just know how to develop, but there is no way to complete my performance at this festival at such a fast speed, although ......"

"Although what? This is the scene of the closing ceremony of the concert, you should pay attention to what you say, don't go too far. Lang Liangyue mentioned it in her heart and hurriedly interrupted.

And Fu Tuo smiled hehe, and did not continue, but only brought it slightly.

"Hehe, although there was a little accident, but it also had a lot of positive effects on me, anyway, I still have to thank Lang Liangyue for his help, I can completely say that if there were no three people, my concert would not have been so successful!"

After that, Fu Tiao walked to the stage with the trophy in his hand, walked in front of Lang Liangyue, and opened his hands.

Lang Liangyue looked at Fu Diao, but after a slight hesitation, she grinned, hugged Fu Diao, and then patted Fu Diao's back and whispered.

"Congratulations, Fu Diao, and, you kid, you scared me out of a sweat, I really thought you were going to slap me to my face!"

"Of course not."

Fu Tiao also smiled and whispered to Lang Liangyue: "I still know this, although I am still a little dissatisfied with your performance, but I still want to say thank you to you, if it is not for your encouragement...... I probably don't have the strength to play this god-level scene at all. ”

"Inspire? Tsk, that's a good word. ”

Lang Liangyue inexplicably felt the breadth and profundity of Chinese cultural words.

Although it was obvious that he was disappointed by his unsatisfactory performance, Fu Tune was furious and played a god-level live to tell him what music is, what is professional ethics, and what is Chopin.

As a result, it became an incentive in Fu Tuo's mouth, and it didn't seem to be so negative.

I don't know why, listening to Fu Diao's words, Lang Liangyue inexplicably felt a trace of guilt, as if she owed Fu Tiao something.

Just before he could regain his senses, Fu Tiao let go of the hand that was hugging him and returned to the stage.

He looked at the trophy in his hand, his fingers clenched gradually, and finally he jerked it up, facing the crowd as if he were holding a crown.

The light shone on the trophy, making it impossible for him to look directly at him like the sun.

Fu Diao, on the other hand, is the sun god who controls the sun.

Under this dazzling light, Fu Tuo said in a deep voice to everyone.

"I, I did it!"

There was silence, followed by thunderous applause.

It is announced that Fu Tune has officially become a member of the top pianists after this performance!
