Since the entire competition was broadcast live on the Internet and on TV, Zhou Yunsheng's performance could be heard by music lovers all over the world. The players in the back are no longer interested in what they are performing, and they all express their comments on social platforms.
"I thought Hannah would definitely be the champion of this piano competition. She shocked the audience as soon as she came out. You must know that the "Companella" she played was one of the five "Super-Technical Etude". I At that time, I thought: Well Hannah, you are too cruel, how do you let the players below live? You must know that the piano king's sister has not yet appeared! But I was wrong, Hannah may be really talented, But compared with Joy (Xue Jingyi's English name), it's really far behind. She can only compete with a group of teenagers, but Joy has been able to compete with many top pianists who have been famous for a long time. Her song "To Pa" "Lochev" can only be described in three words: perfect, shocking, and unparalleled, and even her brother, Sean (Xue Zixuan), the former piano king, has to bow down in front of her."
"I was there, and those who haven't heard Joy's performance up close will never be able to appreciate the suffocating power. My ears and heart were hurt by her pressing, and when the performance ended, my whole body shuddered. over a minute."
"This piece has always been called the devil's music. I have also found a video of Sean playing it and enjoyed it, but I couldn't understand its charm. At the time, I just thought it was ugly, disgusting, and dizzy, but just now, I listened to it. With Joy's performance, I burst into tears, I couldn't help myself, and now I just want to do some crazy things to vent the sense of despair that appeared inexplicably."
"My God, I never knew anyone could play the piano like this before! See her front, twisted, hideous, sticky face full of sweat and tears, but why am I I thought she was so beautiful, and when she pressed down the last note, I stared at her eyes that were so bright with despair and pain, and I just felt like my heart was about to burst!"
"I've always listened to pop music, what is classical music, can I eat it? Well, it was a sentence I just said an hour ago, but now I'm going to eat it. Joy's Playing has taught me what true soul-moving music is. Her superb skills have been admired by performers all over the world, including her brother, of course. The emotion she puts into the melody is something no one else can Replica! That's a devastating force! I don't think anyone has performed 'To Palochev' so well since Joy. Joy's performance will be a classic that will never be surpassed."
"Joy, Joy, Joy, she's amazing! With this level in the preliminaries, my expectations for the next semi-finals and finals have reached their peak. I was originally here for Hannah, but now I'm only expecting Joy. Human performance."
"I think the organizing committee should adjust Joy to the adult group. It's unfair to let her compete with a group of teenagers. Of course, even in the adult group, she has crushing strength! As expected of the piano king's sister, so Genetics really does everything."
Such compliments have brought unprecedented attention to this piano competition. Zhou Yunsheng's performance was so contagious that even people who never listened to classical music couldn't help being fascinated by him, thus becoming his loyal fans. After his performance, many listeners couldn't help expressing their testimonials on social networks and posting live videos of themselves. The young man was already extremely delicate, and when his face was distorted by the too sad and painful music, it not only did not detract from his beauty, but instead gave him the power to capture the soul.
No one cared about the next performance. After listening to a few piano songs absentmindedly, they all blocked the aisle and wanted to say a few words to the boy. He is only sixteen years old, and his thin and thin body hides such a terrifying explosive force and a talent that even God is jealous of.
When the media reporters heard the news, they saw the teenager who was being protected by Xue Zixuan, and they rushed to hand the microphone to his mouth, "May I ask how many years Miss Xue has been practicing the piano?"
"Excuse me, what song will you play in the semifinals?"
"Excuse me, why did you decide to play this piece? Even Puffalo broke down because of it. How do you feel now?"
Zhou Yun Sheng didn't say a word, and covered half of his face with huge sunglasses. Xue Zixuan put one hand on his thin shoulder and covered his face with the other, frowning and said, "Please let me go, my sister has a congenital heart disease and can't bear the too noisy environment. If she goes out What an accident, I will sue you."
"Then Mr. Xue, are you satisfied with your sister's performance today? What do you think is the difference between the "To Palochev" she played and yours? Who is better?"
Xue Zixuan, who had been escorted to the nanny's car by the bodyguard, turned around and said frankly, "I am very satisfied with his performance, in fact, I am extremely proud of him. His performance of "To Palochev" has gone far beyond My performance, if Callance were still alive, I think he would be very satisfied." He nodded slightly, closed the door and drove away quickly.
Xue Yan was sitting in a wheelchair, watching from a distance of fifty or sixty meters. He also wanted to hold the boy in his arms and protect him from any harm as he walked through the noisy crowd, but because of his broken legs, he couldn't do anything for him.
"When will the operation be performed? I want to do it as soon as possible." He motioned for Xue Laosi to push him away.
"I'll call Dr. Brooke and ask. You didn't listen to me when I advised you to have surgery. Now you can't protect your daughter-in-law. Do you regret it?" Xue Laosi teased and took out his mobile phone to make a call. It's not that Xue Yan's leg can't be cured, it's that he hasn't been cured for fear of trouble. He doesn't seem to care about anything, including family and friendship, power status, and even himself, but suddenly, Xue Jinyi appeared like that, making his body with empty skin grow out of heart and lungs, blood, and change. Become a living, breathing person.
Thank goodness for that.
When Zhou Yunsheng returned to the hotel, he still felt very uncomfortable, his blood vessels seemed to be blocked by something thick, which made him extremely sluggish and depressed. "To Palochev" is worthy of the revenge song that Karance spent seven years writing. He not only avenged the audience, but also the players. After the performance, the players need extremely strong self-regulation ability. to return to normal.
Zhou Yunsheng needs time to settle down quietly now, but Xue Li Danni rushed to the hotel after hearing the news, and was constantly reprimanding.
"You can't perform so well! In the next semi-finals and finals, you should be more restrained." She gave a firm order. She never paid attention to the teenager, only knew that the other party was learning the piano with her son, and his talent was not bad, but she never imagined that his talent was more than 'good'? It would not be an exaggeration to say 'stunning talent is absolutely brilliant'. In the gap between the rehearsal, Xue Li Danni also watched the live broadcast of the piano competition. Five or six minutes after the performance of the teenager, her mind was blank, and even her soul could not stop shaking. Not to mention that Xue Jingyi can't reach his level, even Xue Li Danni, who has been immersed in music for decades, dare not compare with him at all.
He performed so well and attracted so much attention. If his daughter can't surpass him in the future, how should he explain it to the outside world? This honor is too huge and heavy, and it has completely exceeded Xue Jingyi's ability to bear.
Zhou Yun Sheng glanced at her expressionlessly, and said lightly, "I can't do it."
"Why can't you do it? Don't these hands belong to you?" Xue Li Danni asked angrily.
"When I sit in front of the piano, they don't belong to me, but to the melody. If you want me to ruin those wonderful melodies with my hands, sorry, I can't." Zhou Yun Sheng said word by word in a firm tone .
Xue Li Danni is a violinist, and she also has this kind of mood. As long as she picks up the bowstring, all the thoughts in her heart are to interpret the melody in the most perfect way. To let her deliberately destroy a piece of music is like letting the most devout believers smash the temple where their faith is held with their own hands. That is an unforgivable crime.
Xue Li Danni was stunned, unable to speak several times. On the one hand, she was deeply touched, and on the other hand, she was worried about her daughter's future. If the daughter's piano skills cannot reach the same height as the teenager, these praises now will become abuse and irony in the future. The excellence of the youth will not make her, but will destroy her!
Xue Li Danni went to the bar and poured a glass of red wine. She needed to think about what to do next. Xue Zixuan had been standing by the window looking at the neon night view of the city. When the young man said, "Sitting in front of the piano, they don't belong to me", his heart shook violently, and he suddenly turned to look at him.
How could he tempt his heart again and again, making him unable to think about anything other than music and him. In fact, in the past few days, he has rarely thought about other things, and his mind is full of the seriousness of the teenager playing the piano.
"Mom, let's go." He opened the door with a cold tone.
"What?" Xue Li Danni was a little stunned.
"Let's go, don't disturb us, I'll wait until the game is over." He frowned impatiently.
Xue Li Danni loves her son more than her daughter. Seeing his unsightly complexion, she can't help but feel a little worried, put down her glass and walk to the door hesitantly.
"Goodbye." Xue Zixuan pushed her out and slammed the door.
"Don't care what others say, just be yourself." He walked to the boy's side and stared down at the top of his dark hair. He really wanted to say some funny words to comfort the boy like an ordinary person, but he searched the memory bank desperately, except for the scores of tens of thousands of piano songs, he couldn't find anything of value.
Perhaps a cheerful tune should be played. He stared at the white grand piano placed by the balcony and pondered, but he heard the boy say in a deep voice, "Can you leave? I want to be alone for a while."
"Tell me, are you unable to get rid of the influence of "To Palochev"?" Xue Zixuan's face instantly became solemn.
"I can get rid of its influence, but I need independent space now." Zhou Yun Sheng raised his head, revealing a pair of red eyes.
Xue Zixuan was startled, and unconsciously reached out and touched his eyelids.
"Don't touch me." Zhou Yun Sheng tilted his head to avoid him, unable to suppress the disgust for the Xue family that was hidden in his heart.
Xue Zixuan couldn't understand the feelings of others. The only person in the world who could move him was a teenager. His frowns, smiles, joys and anger were like movie footage stored in his mind. play. Perhaps because he had reminisced too many times, he could keenly perceive his emotional changes.
He was hating him, even hating him, which made him taste heart-piercing and heart-wrenching for the first time. He tried desperately to recall whether he had done something wrong, and then his face became paler and paler. No, Xiaoyi wouldn't know her original intention to bring him back. He has no way to know. He comforted himself, thinking that it must be the after-effects of playing "To Palochev", which made the frantic heartbeat return to normal.
"I'm leaving, you have a good rest." He stood at a loss for a while, and then he turned back and left in three steps.
The room was finally quiet. Zhou Yun Sheng threw the red wine glass that Xue Li Danni had drank into the trash can, found a new glass, filled it up, and drank it. After drinking three glasses in a row, he felt that the coagulated blood began to flow again, and the painful and oppressive feeling began to dissipate little by little, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath. Just at this moment, the doorbell rang, and he felt something, walked over quickly and opened the door.
Xue Yan and Xue Laosi really stood outside.
"It smells so good." Xue Laosi sniffed around.
"Are you okay?" Xue Yan was worried.
"I'll be fine when you come." Zhou Yun Sheng smiled lazily, leaned over and picked up the 193 cm tall man by the waist, threw it on the bed, and sat on his waist.
Xue Laosi hurriedly pushed the wheelchair in, closed the door tightly and ran away, thinking to himself: No wonder the boss wants to have an operation. If he doesn't have the operation, he has to be carried around by his wife. It really hurts his self-esteem.
Xue Yan turned over and suppressed the young man, his tone was very nervous, "What's wrong with you? Haven't you come out of that piece yet?" Have to think more.
"Yes, I'm very scared." Zhou Yun Sheng leaned closer, stared at his lover with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Promise me, no matter what happens, you won't leave me and disappear alone. Can you do it? You can't do it. If so, I'll jump out of the window with you in my arms, and we'll be dead." When his lover threw him back to reality and chose to die with the Lord God, he was not worried or resentful, he just hid this emotion because he I believe that I will be able to find him again.
It was not until "To Palochev" was played that the hatred and the piercing love that had nowhere to be expressed were channeled. When he was assigned by the military, he thought that if he couldn't find a lover, it would be a good thing to die in the virtual world, because at least he still had him in this world, while the real world only had empty rooms and indifferent people. Not worth missing.
He now wants to love him well, and at the same time he wants to strangle him to save him worrying about it in the future.
"I can do it, you trust me again." Xue Yan didn't know why he used the word 'again', as if he had made the same promise to the teenager but failed to do it. He was almost out of breath by the boy's pinching, and had to reach out and fondle his earlobe with black earrings.
A string of source codes broke into the database without warning, allowing Zhou Yun Sheng to quickly regain his senses. Know how to please yourself with source code when you piss yourself off? Even if this person lost his memory, he was still so cunning! With a slight snort, he lowered his head and kissed his thin lips.
Xue Yan covered the back of his head with his big hands, deepening the kiss, his eyes full of smiles.
Zhou Yunsheng's performance is completely popular, and many mainstream media at home and abroad have carried out key reports on this for several consecutive days, and the video of his performance has been broadcast on TV and the Internet, and each listener will have a different feeling, but All were struck by his superb skills and strong emotions. Some people compare Xue Zixuan's version with his version, and even the most insensitive to music can easily tell the difference between the two. Xue Zixuan was just playing with both hands, while Zhou Yun Sheng was shouting with his soul.
Many music critics asserted: There is no doubt that Joy has surpassed her brother, and she will become the greatest pianist of this century, no one. It is obviously very rare to receive such lofty accolades at the tender age of sixteen.
After listening to "To Palochev", an international director immediately called the organizing committee and asked to cooperate with Zhou Yunsheng. His current apocalyptic disaster film desperately needs this kind of despairing soundtrack. He even felt that if the film could not enable the youth's piano sound, it would become incomplete, which would become his lifelong regret.
Because his personal freedom was restricted by the Xue family, let alone going out alone, Zhou Yun Sheng had never seen such a must-have as a mobile phone. Those who tried to contact him found Xue Zixuan, which made Xue Zixuan annoyed, but Xue Jingyi, who was far away in China, was countless times more troubled than him.
On the one hand, she is delighted by the achievements of the young man, on the other hand, she is afraid that her future self will not be able to surpass the monuments he has established. Xue Li Danni told her that it is best to let Huang Yi retire quickly, because her talent will never catch up with him, and if she regresses too much in the future, it may cause a lot of trouble. She flatly refused, but she was very flustered.
As long as I get Huang Yi's heart, I can also play the tunes he can play. She needs to constantly comfort herself in order to resist the mood that is more and more uneasy day by day. Huang Yi is already excellent to the point that she is terrified. To this day, she still can't play the piano, especially after listening to his performance of "To Palochev". She thought maliciously that Huang Yi might be the devil, because only the devil can perform such demagogic music, and mortals cannot compare with him.
How powerful is the devil's heart? She was terrified and hopeful at the same time.
The semi-finals started, and most of the lounge was emptied, leaving only twenty-six players. They sat around in twos and threes and chatted together, and out of the corner of their eyes, they couldn't help but look at the boy who was sitting in the corner who seemed very quiet and calm. No one said this time that he was pretentious and arrogant. No matter how arrogant a genius should be, he didn't need mortals to understand.
Hannah, surrounded by a group of people, had a very ugly expression when asked about the repertoire played this time. Because Zhou Yun Sheng changed the repertoire without authorization, she had to take out the tune to be played in the final. After the semi-final, she didn't know what to do next, she had no more difficult and more proficient repertoire.
"My God, you're actually going to play "Petruska", which is considered the seventh most difficult piece by pianists. Is this still a semi-final? I'm already desperate!" After listening to her answer , a player collapsed and covered his forehead.
"I think you should hold on for a while, it's not too late to faint after listening to Joy's answer." Another contestant pointed to the teenager in the corner.
"I'll ask him." A Chinese player volunteered. He ran over and was stopped by the bodyguard unsurprisingly, so he stretched his neck and shouted, "Xue Jingyi, what song are you going to play later? Mind telling us?"
Hannah couldn't understand Chinese, but she still watched intently. She sincerely hoped that the song selected by the other party would not be more difficult than her own.
"Show off." Zhou Yun Sheng said lightly.
"What did you say?" Hua Guo player licked his ears.
"Show off by Sears." Zhou Yunsheng added completely.
The Hua Guo player took a deep breath, ran back, and said to the female player just now, "Okay, you can faint, he is going to play Sears' "Show Off"."
"God! I can't live anymore!" Some people were like a concubine, some people were excited and looking forward to it, and there was chaos in the lounge.
There is never a shortage of talented people in the music industry. Because of their amazing talent and too much emotion, many musicians are often eccentric and difficult to get along with. There have been many piano masters in the last century, and their incomparably shining brilliance sets off the mediocrity and bleakness of the pianists in the new century. Sears is undoubtedly one of the most famous pianists in the last century. But he himself did not accept the suffix 'one'.
He showed amazing musical talent since he was three years old. He independently composed a waltz at the age of six and performed it, and became famous all over the world at the age of eleven. He was extremely arrogant and proclaimed that he was the best, surpassing all the pianists of his time, and he provoked a lot of criticism. In order to forcefully refute these attacks, he improvised "Show Off", saying that no one but himself could perform it in its entirety.
"Show Off" is the exact opposite of "To Pachelov," and doesn't contain intense emotional ups and downs. In fact, the songwriter wrote it with no emotion at all, just to show off his superb skills. Its name is strikingly consistent with its content, and in modern parlance it is purely for show.
This piece is divided into four sections in total, and each note in each section requires different playing techniques. It includes fingerings of all styles and genres. There is no superb piano skills comparable to Sears. By the first paragraph of the first measure, the performer will make a fool of himself because he is in a hurry. Because of this, it is known as one of the most difficult piano pieces in the world to play, and it ranks second in the list. Its original name was "Sears Rhapsody". Later, many pianists got fed up with this piece, so they made it. Change it to the word 'showing off' with a slightly derogatory meaning, which is accepted by the majority of musicians.
If "To Pachelov" is the devil's music, then "Show Off" is the arrogant ghost's music, neither of which is Sean that ordinary people can control. Do you know that your sister is so capricious? Take her home now! This is the voice shared by all the players, including the arrogant and mighty Hannah.
