The warm and moist sea breeze blows into the island from the blue sea, blowing into every corner of Disneyland. Near Peter Pan's dream stage, dolls imitating animation scenes and mountains, forests and rivers can be seen everywhere, decorating this stage into a fairy tale paradise.
In the center of the stage, there is a seven-foot grand piano of Bösendorfer, with a smooth black surface and bright black and white keys. This piano stands quietly on the stage. In the middle, it seems to be standing under the shining spotlight on the stage.
Qi Mu didn't study the piano too deeply. This kind of musical instrument is very expensive, especially the superior quality piano is ridiculously expensive. Therefore, in those days, generally only people from wealthy families would study the piano. There are people who have played the piano for the first time.
But although there is no deep research on the piano before, the music is always the same in the end. Qi Mu has listened to many piano pieces, including many symphonies by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi and others, as well as many etudes.
Disneyland still paid for it, and all the tourists use the seven-foot Besendorf.
However, even if such a piano is considered a high-quality piano for ordinary people, Qi Mu can probably guess that Min Chen has never played a piano under nine feet since he was a child.
Bösendorfer is already a world-class piano brand, but Qi Mu once heard people from the Vienna Symphony Orchestra gossip and said that in the piano room of Bertram's house, it is said that there are more than a dozen Steinway's nine-footed pianos. piano.
And now, the man was about to play in public.
Qi Mu couldn't help squinting, looking at the man who was already sitting on the black piano bench. I saw that under the glow of the setting sun, the man's waist was straight, and the baseball cap and large sunglasses covered most of his face, making it difficult to see his appearance, but everyone present was Qi Qi was startled.
Because... on the piano keys, is a pair of extremely beautiful hands.
Those fingers were slender and straight, with distinct knuckles, and there was a thin layer of calluses on the fingertips of the five fingers, which were obviously left over from years of piano practice.
This kind of good-looking is different from Qi Mu's fingers. Min Chen's hands are the same as his people, with a kind of domineering power, as if when he pressed the keys, this piano that was still a little noisy and noble Sendoff was quiet all of a sudden, and waited obediently for him to play.
It was as if the people who had just played were just making a fuss, and now, a solemn and grand concert was really about to begin.
It was this kind of aura that controlled the overall situation that made other people on the scene forget the question of "this person on the field is already an adult man, should he compete with the children", and they all looked forward to the whole person. What kind of tune will be played.
Qi Mu stared at Min Chen in a daze, and through the sunglasses, he seemed to feel that Min Chen's eyes stayed on him for a while, and then saw the other party suddenly look at the boy with red eyes.
Min Chen's thin lips curled slightly, looked at the boy, and asked in a low voice, "Have you heard... the original version of "D Minor"?"
The boy shook his head blankly, and then immediately nodded: "Listen... I heard it, the teacher asked me to buy the album, I have listened to it."
Min Chen nodded lightly and sighed: "There are some things that you can't fully understand just by listening to them. "D Minor" is not well recorded, there is no video recording, and some special fingerings are not well understood by ordinary teachers. You don't need to learn any more songs."
The boy was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand Min Chen's words.
But off the stage, Qi Mu suddenly understood - what the hell is this man going to do!
He actually wanted to... instruct this boy in person? ! ! !
Qi Mu's eyes widened in horror, and his handsome face was full of disbelief. He didn't give him time to think any more, the next second, the majestic sound of the violin sounded like a thunderous wave hitting the shore.
The piano was shaking, and every key press was like a huge wave hitting the beach, sweeping everything on the shore. Qi Mu's fingers clenched suddenly, and his eyes were fixed on the man playing the piano.
With better pitch and higher ear power, it was doomed, Qi Mu heard much more than others.
Min Chen's "Sonata in D Minor" also has an alias called "Tsunami in the Dark Night".
The whole piece is very fast allegro, although the difficulty is not the top of all Min Chen's pieces, but the emotions it expresses are very abundant. It was a majestic force that faced the tsunami alone in the dark sea.
Someone once said jokingly before playing "D Minor": This piece is obviously not that difficult, but every time I play it, I always feel that my fingers are a little sore.
This is the first time Qi Mu has heard the master of "D Minor" perform it in person. The exciting melody, the kind of power that was about to be knocked down by the tsunami and then got up at the last moment, really made people feel terrified.
The "D Minor" performed by the boy just now and Min Chen's current song seem to be completely two pieces!
If the former is a child playing in a pond, the latter is rushing through a terrifying tsunami.
Min Chen's fingers are about to become phantoms, but his posture is still as calm and elegant as when he just sat on the piano bench. The jumping body can show that this man seems to be immersed in the temple of music and can't extricate himself.
But... Is it really impossible to extricate yourself
Absolutely not!
When the whole piece reached the very fast allegro, Qi Mu suddenly heard a certain transition. He was stunned for a moment and looked at Min Chen in astonishment. I saw that the latter was still playing calmly, but the changed melody made Qi Mu frown incomprehensibly.
This piece is no longer "Sonata in D Minor" from the inversion just now. Min Chen reorganized the last part of the piece, and it seems that he has been repeating a certain melody, and... the speed is getting slower and slower, so slow that almost anyone can see his fingering.
Qi Mu suddenly understood!
He temporarily adapted this piece so that the boys standing on the side could see exactly how he played it!
I saw that Min Chen repeated the fingering about three or four times, and then he suddenly turned, and with a beautiful glissando, he suddenly brought the song back to the original melody. For the other audience members, they only felt that the passage that Min Chen played just now was too gentle, and it seemed that the difficulty was not high.
But Qi Mu knew that being able to adapt a piece of music to the desired result in a short period of time and connecting it so smoothly is the real master!
Qi Mu could only feel his heart pounding with the sound of the piano, which became intense again. When the last ending ended beautifully, Qi Mu clapped vigorously and couldn't help shouting: "bravo!"
The rest of the audience applauded in unison.
"Hey, adults and children just play differently. It sounds pretty good."
"That's not it, this kid in my family can play so well when he is as old as this guy."
"Dad, I'll definitely play better than him when I grow up!"
"Okay, my baby must play better than him!"
…
So in the end, what is Banmen's axe? If this pair of father and son know who is playing in front of them now, I am afraid they will regret it.
There are many piano geniuses in the world, but Min Chen has only one.
There are many masters who can compose music in the world, but there are very few who can make a piece of music so seamless in a short period of time.
This seemingly enthusiastic applause was actually a habit for Min Chen. He turned his head to look at the boy who was stunned in the same place, and asked in a gentle voice, "Do you see clearly?"
The boy just woke up from a big dream and kept nodding his head.
Min Chen just nodded slightly, then whispered something in the boy's ear, and walked off the stage. The Peter Pan who was holding a pile of cookies was still dumbfounded and didn't move, Min Chen didn't give him any time to react, he just pulled Qi Mu and left.
When Peter Pan finally remembered to send the cookie as a gift, Min Chen and Qi Mu had already disappeared from the crowd, and no trace could be found.
If it wasn't for the majestic and majestic "Tsunami in the Dark Night" that was still echoing in everyone's ears, I'm afraid they would all wonder if there really was such a person who played the piano just now, or if everything was just their imagination.
As soon as Min Chen got off the stage, he pulled Qi Mu away without saying a word. His movements were so fast that Qi Mu didn't regain his senses for a while. After the two walked away from Peter Pan's dream stage, Qi Mu gradually regained his senses. He subconsciously looked at the place where the other party was holding his wrist, and quietly broke free.
Min Chen was slightly taken aback by his actions, but didn't say anything more.
The two had already walked to a small bridge at this time. The wooden bridge was simple and cute, and it seemed to match the overall dreamy style of Disneyland. As if he was tired from walking just now, Qi Mu gently rested on the bridge seat, and suddenly felt a darkness in front of him and a hat on his head.
He looked up and saw that the stern and elegant man pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, his thin lips slightly hooked: "Tired of walking?"
Qi Mu straightened his hat. At this moment, when he looked at each other again, he felt really weird.
Min Chen came from a very good background and received an excellent and first-class education since he was a child. He thought that such people would have a kind of arrogance engraved in their bones, just like the principal of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Jaske.
He is obviously dark, ugly and fat, but he looks at people with his nose all day long. He seems to be polite to you when he talks, but he doesn't even bother to throw one to you from the corner of his eye.
But after getting along these days, especially what happened today, Qi Mu suddenly understood: true gentlemen will never look down on anyone, they are elegant, noble and helpful.
And when all these thoughts finally came together, it was—
"You are such a good person, Min Chen!"
Min Chen, who was issued a good person card for no reason, said: "..."
As if unaware of the man's strange face, Qi Mu nodded to himself, looked far away, and looked at the place far away from the creek. There are many trees there, and many branches block the scenery at the end, and no one can see what the scene is.
Qi Mu sighed and said, "When I was playing in Vienna before, I met some people who thought... Without background and talent, hard work alone will never go far."
Qi Mu's words were half-truths. First of all, the original owner did perform in Vienna, but these feelings were all his own. He continued: "At that time, I was thinking, talent is important, I admit it. But family background... will never be everything."
The young man's voice was melancholy and distant, as if he remembered some bad memories. This caused Min Chen to look at him a few more times, only to see Qi Mu lowered his eyes slightly, with a look of loss, unable to squeeze out a smile.
Speaking of this, Qi Mu seemed to suddenly remember something, he laughed in a low voice, and said, "Why did I tell you this, I'm a little surprised that you will help that boy today. I didn't expect you to go there. help him."
Min Chen lowered his eyes with deep eyes, and said, "He reminds me of someone."
Qi Mu was suddenly stunned, and asked subconsciously, "Anyone?"
Min Chen nodded and said, "A person who has passed away."
Not expecting such an answer at all, Qi Mu felt a little sloppy, "Sorry, I didn't expect this."
Min Chen shook his head, he also raised his eyes to look at the lush forest, his voice was low, and he said in a low voice, "That person has no family background, and his talent is much higher than that of the person just now, but I believe, absolutely Harder than that guy. He was great too, but unfortunately passed away in an accident on his last show."
Hearing this, Qi Mu's heart suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't come up with a clue. Just listen to Min Chen continue: "In my heart, he is an excellent musician, he has the potential to reach a higher level."
The late autumn sunset gradually fell below the horizon. After the fireworks show ended at 9 o'clock and went back to his room, Qi Mu didn't even think about it...
Is there such a person in the world music scene now
He is very hardworking, has no family background, can his talent and music level be praised by Min Chen
Do such people... really exist
Qi Mu thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. When the moon was in the middle of the sky, the lights in Qi Mu's room were all extinguished. Next door to him, in the inextricable darkness, a tall and straight man stood in front of the bed, looking at the charming night view of Victoria Harbor, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
"Before you asked me to check Luo Yusen again... I checked, and it seems that someone deliberately let him collapse in the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and stumbled him. I haven't found out who it is, but if you're interested, Jusco. Brown hosted a violin concert and invited you. Oh, by the way, Jasco is the principal of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra."
On the phone, Daniel kept flipping through the information, but on the other end of the phone, Min Chen narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm not in a hurry, you can check it slowly."
Daniel let out an "um", and finally seemed to suddenly remember something, and said quickly, "Oh, and it doesn't matter if you go to that music festival, but don't reveal your identity, I don't want to wipe your ass."
"Um."
In the rich night, the man's mellow voice was blocked by the thick soundproof glass, and no one else could hear it.
Min Chen raised his eyes to look at the night sky that was illuminated by the city's neon lights like day, and suddenly remembered the curious expression of the young man in the next room when he returned to the hotel.
a person who has passed away...
A very talented person...
"Actually, you are also a very talented person..."
