The cigar standing upside down on the piano still smokes slowly, and it is very clear in the spotlight.

This is probably the first time since the establishment of the Metropolitan Opera that a cigarette has been lit on the stage openly, and it has lasted for such a long time.

Be quiet.

Deathly quiet.

All the celebrities and members of the music delegation, even the famous masters such as Simon and Rudolph, everyone was stunned and numb.

Syllable!

A reporter fell to the ground with a camera in his hand.

A celebrity's mouth opened wide and drooled out.

Someone's body was trembling slightly.

Almost everyone's expression is exaggerated.

But the only thing that is the same is that everyone's eyes are round at this moment, and their faces are full of incredulity.

This moment.

If it weren't for the smoke still rising from the cigars, many would have thought that time had come to a standstill.

Shock.

Impact.

The moment the cigar was lit, the shock felt in everyone's hearts was almost more than the most shocking thing imaginable in their lives.

This impact goes straight to the soul.

Many people feel like an electric current has hit them, numb from their heads to the soles of their feet.

It was really the scene they had seen, almost beyond their understanding.

If it weren't for seeing it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.

Even at this moment, although Wang Mo's performance had ended, they still hadn't recovered from this shocking scene.

And Wang Mo had already walked off the stage with an indifferent face.

Of course, although his expression was indifferent at the moment, his heart was not calm at all.

No way!

My hands are cramping!

In fact, when he performed "Wild Bee Dance" just now, he was a little tired, don't look at the whole piano piece is only more than three minutes, but under the high-intensity performance, it is still a strong physical effort.

At this moment, after playing the faster "Eternal Movement", his whole body was almost exhausted and collapsed, and only then did the picture of his head smoke just now appear. If it weren't for the iron fingers that have been single for more than 20 years to resist the pressure, he might not have been able to play this piano piece in its entirety just now.

OK!

Everything went smoothly.

"Next time I play a piano piece like this, it's better to play less......"

Wang Mo hid his hands behind his back, felt the faint throbbing fingers, and secretly sighed.

Of course, he was also a little proud in his heart.

Because he saw the shocked expressions of the people in the audience. From the expressions of these people, it can be seen that his performance just now was a success, and it was not an ordinary success.

It's normal.

I think that when he watched "The Pianist at Sea" for the first time, and saw the clip of 1900 lighting a cigarette with piano keys for the first time, the impact he felt in his heart was no less than that of these people.

Scene.

There was still dead silence.

Until Wang Mo walked off the stage and returned to his seat.

Finally!

Applause just rang out.

Most of the people just applauded unconsciously, but their eyes were still fixed on the still smoking cigar on the empty stage.

And the reporters who were still sluggish just now finally came back to their senses, and at this moment they didn't care about disturbing the order, and one by one they rushed to the front of the stage almost like wild horses, and pointed the camera at the cigarette!

Click!

Click!

The speed at which the flashing lights almost illuminated the stage, which was a little dim, as if it were daylight.

It was as if this cigarette was a rare treasure in their eyes.

Live room.

The major live broadcast rooms around the world that have just fallen into silence have finally erupted.

"What I'm seeing is really not a hallucination?"

"Light a cigarette? You tell me that piano strings can light smoke? ”

"Ridiculous, isn't it? Isn't that ridiculous? ”

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, if someone had told me that a person's hands were fast enough to play a piano string to the point of lighting a cigarette, I would definitely give them a couple of ear scrapers."

"The moment the cigar was lit, did you know the strong shock in my heart?"

"At that moment, I got goosebumps all over my body!"

"Oh my God! Oh, my God! It's a miracle! ”

“……”

And at the moment.

The jury in the center of the stage was also agitated, discussing something with each other.

After a while, the referee came to the center of the stage with a glass, and everyone thought he was going to throw the cigarette into the glass.

There were even quite a few reporters shouting.

"Hey! Wait a minute, Mr. News! ”

"Wait, let me take a few more shots."

However, the referee did not listen to them, but took out the glass and carefully held the cigar in it.

I saw that the cigar that was still smoking just now went out quickly because there was no oxygen supply.

Then.

The referee breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Wang Mo in the audience: "Mr. Wang, may I ask, can I keep this cigarette of yours?" I'd like to dedicate a room here for this piano and this cigarette. Because I think it's very meaningful, I hope that everyone will be able to see this cigarette in the future and remember what happened today. ”

Well?

Wang Mo was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the referee to say this.

But only for a moment, he smiled and said, "Of course, it's my pleasure." ”

"Then thank you, Mr. Wang, your performance today is worth remembering."

The referee looked surprised, and then he beckoned, and several staff members came and removed the cigarette, including the piano.

The audience was stunned by this scene.

"Are the organizers going to save them?"

"Definitely!"

"This business thinking is absolutely amazing."

"It doesn't have to be just a business mindset. Because the scene just now is likely to be recorded in the history of music, it is of great significance. The organizers will definitely keep them as a legend for the future. ”

"yes, it's going to be a legend. Even when I think about it now, my whole body is numb. ”

"Anyway, I will definitely go to the scene to see that cigarette when I have the opportunity in the future."

"Yes, I'm going too!"

“……”

And in the audience, a celebrity danced excitedly: "That cigarette, mine!" I'm Charley's! ”

Next to it, other celebrities looked envious and jealous.

They knew in their hearts that this guy Charlie was probably going to be recorded in the history of music along with what happened today.

Although Charley is just an inconsequential guy, just the cigarette that Wang Mo took from him is enough!

Come to think of it.

The other celebrities who had cigarettes in their pockets today were so remorseful that they froze.

Why didn't you take the initiative just now?

Alas......

"Alas......"

It's not just these celebrities who sigh.

And one more person: Aida!

Well, Aida doesn't seem to just sigh, his face is pale at the moment, and he has completely lost his previous energetic and high-spirited appearance, and he seems to have been hit hard.

His eyes were empty, and there was just a thought rolling in his heart: "It turns out that I was really wrong...... Wang Mo, he didn't lie to me, this is called speed, this is the ultimate speed in piano performance. ”

In his life, Aida never thought that piano performance could be fast enough to light a cigarette.

If "Flying Bees" gave him a blow, but he thought that he could still try to play it after training, then this "Eternal Movement" is a height that he could not reach in his lifetime!

Not even dreaming!

"I'm not as good as him, far less than him."

Aita's heart was unstoppable, and the thought soon filled his entire mind and penetrated into his soul.

He felt like something solid in his faith was crumbling.

Until then, Aita had always thought that he was not inferior to anyone in composition, and he was not inferior to any piano master in performance. The superposition of the two is equivalent to him Aida is the first person in the piano industry today!

But in the first round of piano performance before, he knew that he couldn't compete with Wang Mo in the song, so he planned to use his skills to defeat Wang Mo.

But Xiangtian never expected that the piano skills he was proud of would be crushed into slag by Wang Mo.

If it is said that in terms of creation, Aida still thinks that the gap between himself and Wang Mo is limited. But at this moment, in terms of performance skills, Aida felt a sense of powerlessness in the mountains.

"How so? How could someone reach that level of speed? That's impossible! Impossible. ”

The more Aida looked back on Wang Mo's performance just now, the more he found that he was nothing in front of Wang Mo's performance level.

When a person who has been at the top for a long time has doubts about one of his skills, it is easy to fall into the whirlpool of stubborn mistakes.

"Am I really going into the wrong place?"

"Impossible!"

Now.

Aida felt more and more that what Wang Mo said was right, and he began to doubt himself.

"Did I really step on the mistake of playing?"

"I really don't have a talent for playing?"

Aita's forehead was exposed, and his eyes became terrifying.

What a proud man he was!

How could he, a master who has stood in the music industry for more than 20 years, go into a misunderstanding? How can there be no talent?

"I don't believe it! Since Wang Mo can do it, I don't believe I can't do it!! ”

Aita's nails were buttoned into the flesh of his arm, and he looked hideous.

Again:

When a person who stands at the top thinks that he is right in a certain field, he will be crazy to prove himself with practice.

And Aida is caught in such a whirlpool at this moment.

Of course, he didn't show much at the moment, and he quickly calmed down. Except for the fact that his eyes still revealed a hint of madness, there was nothing to see on the surface.

However, after this night of international music, Aida disappeared and never appeared in front of the public again.

Years later.

Wang Mo learned about it by chance from Miyata Jiro.

When Aida returned to Fuso, he locked himself in his room, cut himself off from everyone's visits, and began to train his piano hand like crazy every day.

And almost every day you can hear the roar of Aita in the room?

"Why can't I light a cigarette?"

"Why can't I do that?"

"Am I really stupid?"

"Why?"

Miyata's voice revealed sadness: "The teacher is immersed in his own world every day and goes against himself. And smash a piano almost every day. Because he couldn't do it to play "Eternal Music". ”

It's weird to pop up!

Wang Moxin said: In fact, according to common sense, it is impossible for "Eternal Movement" to be played by a single person, because it is a two-person performance song, and it is impossible to complete the operation with the addition of the system BUFF.

"And then?"

"Later, the teacher seemed to have a mental problem, and he laughed every day, saying that he could light a cigarette."

“……”

Of course, this happened many years later.

Live at the moment.

Aida still looked normal.

But Wang Mo could see that this old guy's inner belief had collapsed.

Very good!

Wang Mo withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention to the other party.

On the stage, another piano was also brought in by the staff.

The piano solo continues.

It's just that the next player on the field, whether he is an ordinary player or a famous musician, is like a mourner. Made...... Let them play behind Wang Mo, isn't this doomed?

Even a piano master like Stephen has an ugly face, how good is the performance?

Did it work?

No matter how strong the artistic conception is, it can't be better than "Wild Bee Flying".

No matter how fast the speed is, it is impossible to be faster than "Eternal Movement".

Even at this moment, the celebrities in the audience were still immersed in the miracle picture of Wang Mo's piano lighting cigarettes, and it was difficult to come back to their senses for a long time.

Therefore, it is not easy for the players who perform piano solos on stage later to finish the performance smoothly.

Of course.

The scene remained silent.

But at this moment, in the outside world, especially on the Internet, all kinds of news have already swept the major platforms.

[Wang Mo's "Wild Bee Flying" shocked the audience]

["Wild Bees Flying" can be called the fastest piano piece in history]

[Wang Mo is suspected of being a piano virtuoso]

[In front of "Wild Bee Flying", Aida's "Voice of Huang Feng" became a clown]

Well...... These were news from a few minutes ago.

But even so, many netizens who did not watch the live broadcast were still shocked by these news.

"Wang Moshi's piano virtuoso?"

"He defeated Aida?"

"Just a piano piece, how fast can it be?"

"It's not going to be the title party again, is it? It's a pity that I'm fishing at work, so I can't watch the live broadcast. ”

“……”

But just a few minutes later, more exciting news came out again, covering the previous information.

This time, however, there was no more of all sorts of messy news emotes.

Major media outlets, the world's top social platforms, almost all use the same photo. In the photo, a young man holds a cigarette and places it in a large piano tripod, and a wisp of smoke comes out of it.

As for the headlines, the uniformity all reads:

【Piano strings light cigarettes!】 】

Piano and cigarette lighting, before this, I am afraid that billions of people around the world could not have combined the two.

But when I saw Wang Mo lighting the cigar after playing "Eternal Movement", I don't know how many people turned into sculptures in front of the screen.

Netizens are full of question marks.

Is that okay?

Is this horse rider okay?

Well, whether it works or not, anyway, after experiencing this time, Wang Mo has completely made a name for himself in the world.

Even its popularity is so great that even Wang Mo himself was a little shocked.

The first is prestige.

In one night, his popularity skyrocketed by more than 30 million!

What is this concept?

He came up with so many tunes before, occupying the top six of the Golden Music Chart, but the cumulative prestige of the six nights was only more than 30 million.

And this time, the prestige gained in one night was on par with the previous one.

"Sure enough, the more exciting the news on the Internet, the more prestige you can gain in a short time."

Wang Mo said secretly.

It's not that "Eternal Movement" is so good, in terms of beauty and artistic conception alone, this piano piece may not rank on the pure music list at all.

But just a clip of lighting a cigarette is enough to make countless netizens around the world worship Wang Mosheng.

It has nothing to do with the quality of the song.

It's really that the impact of that picture is too strong, and it can conquer others in an instant.

The second is status.

After he defeated Aida, and won the first place in solo piano without any suspense, he was already recognized as a pianist in the music industry, and is the youngest pianist in the world today.

In other words, from this moment on, Wang Mo finally has a place in the music industry, and no one will question his status.

From these two points alone, Wang Mo felt that he had made a lot of money.

……

When the outside world is still boiling.

Wang Mo was called to a big theater by Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu said seriously: "Xiao Wang, the day after tomorrow will go back to the performance of the large orchestra, you have already given the score last time, and they have almost honed their training these days, so you have to come and test it." ”

"Good!"

Wang Mo did not refuse, nodded in agreement.

Although he has caused a huge storm in the music industry by himself before, he knows in his heart that a person's achievement can only be said to be the occasional musical genius in this country.

However, for a country to become a world-famous music country, or even recognized as the hometown of music, it is not enough for him alone, but also depends on the performance of the country's large orchestras.

The performance of a large orchestra is far more magnificent and shocking than an individual, and it is also the most moving performance at the music festival.

Because of this, Wang Mo asked Zhao Shu to transfer his country's orchestra over, and gave a few pieces to the other party to rehearse well, just to perform in the next orchestra performance.

Soon.

Wang Mo arrived at the scene.

When the members of the orchestra saw him, they were all very excited, their eyes were full of enthusiasm, and when they performed, they were even more like chickens, playing the best state in their usual drills, and wanted to show their best side.

Not much.

Wang Mo finished listening to their performance.

"Good!"

This is Wang Mo's judgment, at least better than he imagined.

Although the members of these orchestras, in terms of individual level, each of them may only be above the professional level, and there are no particularly prominent seedlings. But the enthusiasm and passion they had when they played it, but they played the music they took out with a different feeling.

Especially the Huaxia team, there is a kind of unity that no other country has!

Under this unity, the melody they play has an indomitable momentum!

Crush everything!

Therefore, even if Wang Mo feels that the level of the members of the orchestra may be slightly weaker than that of other countries, under this kind of unity, this momentum, combined with the music he gave, it can definitely cause a sensation.

"Really good?"

There was a light in Zhao Shu's eyes.

In the past so many "International Music Palace Night" orchestra performances, Huaxia has almost always been in the bottom position, and has never been paid attention to internationally, and even many international media have not bothered to report it, because there are no bright spots.

So this time, Zhao Shu simply didn't let the orchestra come over.

Wasted spirit.

But in his heart, he still expects the orchestra to perform well on stage.

Wang Mo smiled slightly: "Of course, don't you also have a mental number?" ”

Zhao Shu smiled brightly, but still said: "The authorities are confused, I know that the song you gave is very good, but I am worried that the children will mess it up." Now that I have your approval, then I have the bottom in my heart. ”

"Don't worry."

Wang Mo once again gave an affirmative answer.

If this time the Chinese orchestra cannot achieve international results, it will be unless the whole world is deaf.

has been affirmed by Wang Mo, and the members of the Huaxia Orchestra are even more passionate and have high morale.

……

Two days passed quickly.

On this day, the large-scale orchestra competition of the "International Music Hall Night" finally opened.

Internationally, there are two types of major orchestra competitions.

First: the orchestral competition.

Second: the symphony competition.

Because this kind of large-scale orchestra has extremely high requirements for the musical heritage of each country, and there must be more than one or two hundred musicians alone, unless some countries with a strong musical background will sign up for the competition, ordinary countries can't even get together a team.

This time, 13 countries participated in the orchestra competition and eight countries participated in the symphony orchestra competition.

Although it is few, it has caused far more waves than the previous performances.

Even the previous solo piano sessions were nowhere near as hot as the orchestra competitions.

When the time has not yet come to night, many netizens who like music can't wait.

"Ahhh Tonight is an orchestral competition! ”

"It's still the impact of a large orchestra, which is the most expected."

"Yes, although the violin or piano solo is very beautiful, the layman like me likes to play in an orchestra."

"The melody played by an orchestra of hundreds of people is not at all achievable by a solo performance."

"Which country are you most looking forward to playing tonight?"

"The orchestral performance is still the strongest among the six music kingdoms, and of course Injili and the Polar Bear Country are not weak. But I am most optimistic about Australia, the hometown of music in the last edition. ”

“……”

As for the netizens of the six music kingdoms, they have regained their vitality.

"Hahaha, it's finally time for our country to exert its power again!"

"We have been dominated by Wang Mo for almost half a month, and now we are finally going to take a breath."

"What's the use of Wang Mo being so powerful alone? In the end, who can get to the hometown of music has to watch the orchestra perform. ”

"A big orchestra is the most glorious competition in the music industry!"

"This time, Wang Mo can't do anything more, right?"

"It's definitely impossible, if he can really compose a good orchestral piece or a symphony, then he will really become a god."

"And the strength of the Huaxia orchestra is not good enough, even if Wang Mo has a good song, it is estimated that the orchestra of their country will not be able to perform that kind of momentum."

"Hmm...... Just wait for the rejuvenation of our six music kingdoms! I was really aggrieved before! ”

“……”

That's it.

In the midst of a lively discussion, it was eight o'clock in the evening New York time.

The orchestra competition has officially begun.

Coincidentally, Huaxia actually won the first to play.

At this moment, the celebrities and netizens in the audience raised their eyebrows and discussed a lot.

"The Huaxia Orchestra was the first?"

"Ouch, their strength is not good, and the pressure is even greater."

"What kind of tunes do you think they'll play? Do you choose a world-famous song or adapt a song from your own country? ”

"It's all possible."

"It's a pity that the popularity that Wang Mo won for Huaxia alone before was about to be beaten back to its original shape by the performance of their orchestra."

"But do you think Wang Mo will also compose orchestral music for them?"

As a musical master, it is impossible not to write orchestral music.

After all, Wang Mo had also come up with violin pieces of the same quality as "Chakong" before, so it was not strange to write one or two more orchestral pieces.

Thinking of this possibility, many people's hearts twitched for no reason.

Especially netizens in the six major music kingdoms, their hearts are hanging again.

"Won't it?"

"Probably not, right?"

"Wang Mo can't be so demonic, he is only in his twenties, how can he create so many tunes?"

"Yes, yes."

"I admit that Wang Mo is indeed very powerful, but he can't be proficient in everything, right?"

"Yes, it can't be!"

"What's more, the level of large Chinese orchestras is average, even if there are good songs, they may not be able to play well."

Thinking of this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when everyone's hearts were fluctuating.

I saw that at this moment, the Huaxia Orchestra had already stepped onto the stage, and they were all seated.

At the same time, a few lines of text appeared on the large screen in front of the opera house:

Performing Orchestra: Huaxia Orchestra.

Repertoire: Radetzky March. (End of chapter)
