Chapter 126 Electromagnetic Cannon

In the entire world of music, the status of the pop world and the classical world is seriously unequal.

Although the former has a wider audience, it is too popular, and for professionals, it does not have much learning value, and it is just nice to hear.

But classical music is completely at the other extreme. It has complex techniques and knowledge of music theory, as well as countless modes and performance methods. It has been enthusiastically admired from ancient times to the present.

In ancient times, classical music was only music that nobles and courts could appreciate, and it was a kind of music that elegant people flocked to and sought after.

At that time, civilians were not qualified and had no chance to listen to piano performances.

And the common people can only enjoy music such as rock and jazz, usually for self-entertainment.

Including modern times, teachers in major colleges and universities teach students to use classical music. They are dismissive of current electronic music, dance music, rock, RNB and other types of music, and radicals even put these The kind of music is worthless.

But for a real grand pianist, there is no distinction between high and low music, and some are just high and low.

It's just that ordinary people regard classical music as gods instead.

So when the great pianist Lin Weiyin came to the One Emperor Four Emperors Piano Competition two days in a row, the contestants who played pop music were extremely excited.

This is a great honor.

Because normally speaking, a grand pianist like Lin Weiyin basically doesn't interact with people like them.

This kind of pianist can go to various prestigious schools to teach and educate people, and their performance videos will also be carefully studied and imitated by thousands of students.

But is anyone serious about learning how to play pop music?
No.

Young and well-known great pianists like Lin Weiyin and Gao Feiliu can easily play popular music, and even after listening to it once, they can reach the realm of playing off-script.

But Eustoma and Ling Lingyao are well-known music up masters on the Internet, even if they are given some classical music scores and let them perform sight-reading on the spot, it is already very difficult to make no mistakes in the end.

It is obviously wishful thinking to want to achieve the performance emotion, skills and height of Lin Weiyin and others.

Therefore, even well-known pianists who make a living in the pop world are in awe when they see well-known pianists in the classical world.

The two sides are not at the same level at all.

unless……

"Unless this person is Uncle A."

The angry sunflower of the well-known UP master, a woman whose real name is Shi Ruoxiang, adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on her face and said calmly: "Don't look, Lin Weiyin is here to enjoy Uncle A's performance, and it has nothing to do with us."

As if to verify Shi Ruoxiang's words, Lin Weiyin, who was standing in the corner with her hands folded, walked towards the player's seat on her own initiative.

And not far behind her, many staff members are on standby at any time. Obviously, the officials also know that Lin Weiyin's status in the industry is not trivial, so they are rushing to send people to protect them.

Seeing Lin Weiyin's appearance, there was a slight commotion at the scene.

Those who can appear in the concert hall basically have certain piano playing skills, and there are almost no pure fans. This is the result of official screening.

After all, there are more than 900 people, each of whom has the right to vote, and their professionalism is also worthy of recognition.

Therefore, people are familiar with Lin Weiyin, who just won the No.1 Chopin International Piano Competition last year.

"Wow, Chili Gulu's style is getting higher and higher, even Lin Weiyin has been invited!"

"It's not just Lin Weiyin, did you see that kid wearing a mask over there? He's Gao Feiliu!"

"Actually, Yu Chengjiao, the deputy dean of Dongyin University, is also here. Didn't you notice it? It's the one wearing the gentleman's hat, the one sitting in the last row!"

"I'm really speechless to these big guys, come and come, even in disguise!"

"That's right, Lin Weiyin is more free and easy, look how upright she is, huh? She even sat on the contestant's bench, my God, she can't be a contestant, right?"

"Did I read it wrong? Is she chatting with Uncle A?"

"I found another person. Guess who it is? Meng Han! It's the No.3 Chopin International Competition, and he's here!"

"Damn it, it really is! If he hadn't stood up suddenly, I wouldn't have noticed!"

"Climax, climax! How many pianists are hidden in this hall?"

As the identities of the great pianists were guessed, the audience at the scene became more and more excited.

Many viewers came to their senses in an instant, looking left and right one by one, carefully identifying each other, wanting to see the real face of the neighbors.

Maybe there is an idol sitting next to him?

Not to mention, this trick is really easy to use.

The entire music hall, including the first floor of the pool block and the second floor of the balcony block, was full of exclamations one after another.

"My god, Teacher Jiang, you are actually Teacher Jiang!"

"Miss Li, why are you here!"

"Teacher Xian, Teacher Xian, it's you!"

"Ms. Cao, I am your student! Think again, yes, yes, ten years ago, the Central Conservatory of Music, yes, yes, do you remember me?"

"Mr. Thin..."

There was constant commotion in the hall.

Qiu Zhiming, who was playing on the field, had faint sweat stains on the back of his head, but he still pretended to be calm and tried his best to play his music well.

It wasn't until the end of the song that the host Zhang Hai hurriedly said to the audience: "Silence! Silence! Now is the competition time. Audience friends, please respect the works performed by the contestants!"

After all, they are all high-quality talents.

Under Zhang Hai's persuasion, the hall instantly became quiet, and people's conversation became much quieter, and even a needle drop could be heard at one point.

On the other side, Zheng Lan, who was waiting to play, was overjoyed and couldn't wait to step onto the stage and start playing.

The piece he played is called "Sword Comes". It is an original piece that was published on the music page of Station J. It is also Zheng Lan's work with the highest hit rate so far. It is said that it is based on the inspiration he got from watching a fantasy novel day and night.

Throughout the work, the sound of the piano is as clear as flowing water, which makes people feel happy.

But from the middle, there were constant climaxes, and the confused and tragic emotions were constantly exaggerated, which successfully attracted everyone's attention.

It seems that at that moment, a bronze sword pierced the starry sky and came across, leaving an indelible mark in people's hearts.

"Aside from being a little hollow, it's a pretty good performance."

On the contestant's bench, after listening to Zheng Lan's work completely, Lin Weiyin nodded slightly, then leaned forward slightly, approached Uncle A in the front seat, and asked calmly, "Aren't you admitting it?"

"Admit what?"

Fu Xiaoci replied instead of Liao Yuan: "Hey, don't make trouble for nothing!"

"It's fine if I haven't met you, but since I have met you, your playing style, fingering, including your height and appearance, in our eyes, are actually very easy to reveal your identity."

Lin Weiyin said quietly: ""War Rhapsody" is an astonishing work, and because it is so amazing, it is even more eye-catching. And for those who have witnessed you playing on the Costa For us, whether you wear a mask or not is actually the same."

Liao Yuan moved his ears and said in a low voice, "Us?"

"In this concert hall, there are no fewer than ten pianists I know, and they have been here since yesterday."

Lin Weiyin smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "They came here to confirm their thoughts, to see the birth of a great pianist, Mr. Liao, your "Exodus from the Western Regions" is amazing, and "War Rhapsody" is amazing."

"I can not understand what you say."

Liao Yuan smiled: "Miss Lin, it's time for the competition, please respect the contestants' competition."

When Lin Weiyin heard the words, she nodded slightly and stopped talking.

Fu Xiaoci looked at Lin Weiyin and then at Liao Yuan, feeling very depressed.

When did Grandpa Liao play at the Costa?
How many things does this grandpa keep from me?
Humph, the baby is angry!
At this moment, on the stage, after a round of voting, in the end, Zheng Lan won by nearly [-] votes and successfully advanced to the top ten.

Before the living cannon had time to make a promotion speech, he fainted from excitement on the spot.

Immediately, a staff member came forward to check his physical condition. Within a few seconds, Zheng Lan was alive and kicking again. After delivering an incoherent victory speech, he walked off the stage in a hurry.

Qiu Zhiming looked very annoyed, but he also recognized Zheng Lan's performance today. Just like the dialogue before the opening, he was convinced that he lost today.

Soon, under the continued control of the host Zhang Hai, the game continued.

The masters of the three competition areas once again showed their talents today, one after another original works were thrown out, and the quality of each piano piece was unexpectedly above the standard.

Among them, Hong Kong pianist Mei Duoduo won the highest number of votes in the audience so far with 1417 votes.

after an hour.

On the stage, Zhang Hai came to the glass ball and pressed the button of the machine again to start the lottery.

After a while of screening, a numbered ball ejected.

The entire audience watched intently, and bursts of cheers suddenly sounded.

"Number 1!"

Zhang Hai picked up the first numbered ball with a smile, and looked at Uncle A in the audience: "You are the first to play."

Liao Yuan nodded and stood up.

Beside him, more than a dozen pianists who hadn't played yet swallowed their saliva, their scalps tingling with tension.

"Don't be me, don't be me..."

Lisianthus read silently.

At this time, on the stage, the screening was still going on, and after a few seconds, the second numbered ball was ejected again.

After Zhang Hai got the numbered ball, he said, "Number 9!"

For a moment, the audience looked at the No. 9 contestant chair.

Lisianthus is struck by lightning!
That's right, he is player No. 9...

All the other players were relieved.

Next to him, Ling Lingyao patted him on the shoulder pityingly: "Yang Jie, it's okay, it's just a game, it doesn't matter if you lose, but you have the backbone to lose, at worst, we will fight again in the next year!"

Fight your sister, fight!
Lisianthus wants to cry but has no tears.

"Fuck, last year we were able to get into the top ten, but this year we didn't even get into the top ten?"

Lisianthus wailed endlessly.

He has seen Uncle A play, especially after "War Rhapsody" came into being, that kind of performance ability, even if he watched it through the video, it still made Lisianthus limp.

This kind of great pianist who is almost beyond the performance level, why don't he go to the world tour concert and earn money, so the fuck came here to compete with these scumbag players for the position?

Wipe, do you want to show your face?ah?I just asked you if you want to lose face?
How could a man behave like this?
Bullying the weak... Can it really bring you a sense of refreshment?

Can a great pianist really do whatever he wants?

What the hell, is there any law of the king!
Gritting her teeth, Eustoma gave Liao Yuan an angry look.

But soon discouraged.

Yes, as a great pianist, you can really do whatever you want...

With trembling hands, he leaned on the handle of the chair and stood up, ready to face——

"Sorry sorry, I made a mistake, I made a mistake, let's do it again."

At this time, the host Zhang Hai suddenly changed his words. He hastily turned the number ball over: "Sorry, audience friends, I misread it. This is number 6, not number 9!"

Not number 9?
Is it the 6th?
With a plop, Lisianthus who had just stood up heard this, his knees were so weak that he almost fell to his knees.

He rubbed his eyes, looked carefully at the stage, and after confirming that the number ball in the host's hand was indeed number 6, he was suddenly ecstatic.

I wipe, God will not kill me!
On the contestant's bench, contestant No. 6 "Masked Superman" slowly stood up.

As the name suggests, Masked Superman is also a masked player, but unlike Uncle A, this Masked Superman's equipment is well-made, and his whole body is completely the same as the character in the animation "Masked Superman" The dress, the red cloak on the back, and the bulging eyes on the lower abdomen are all the focus of the audience.

But at the same time, he is still one of the most powerful players in the field. Before Uncle A played "War Rhapsody", he and Uncle A were two masked players with the same reputation, and they were also one of the powerful championship contenders in the China Division. one.

Unexpectedly, the world is so coincidental.

"come on!"

Fu Xiaoci stood up, helped arrange Liao Yuan's tie, and encouraged him: "I'll be below, to see your return as king!"

The lines are so embarrassing!

Liao Yuan coughed, and at the same time another voice sounded in his ear.

"Can it be killed in seconds?"

Lin Weiyin said calmly: "Show your true strength and don't lose your identity as a great pianist."

...Okay, this line is even more embarrassing!
Liao Yuan took a deep breath, and walked onto the stage step by step amidst the warm applause of the audience.

The host Zhang Hai stepped forward, looked at Liao Yuan with bright eyes, and asked excitedly, "What song did you play?"

Liao Yuan said: "I haven't made up my mind yet."

Zhang Hai: "???"

There was an uproar.

Fu Xiaoci covered her eyes as she couldn't bear to see.

Before coming here, she had asked Liao Yuan what piece she was going to play today.

Liao Yuan replied exactly the same as now.

Fu Xiaoci thought this grandpa was joking, but she didn't take it too seriously. She didn't expect, shit, he really didn't think about it!

Zhang Hai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Did you not think about the name? Or the song? You should give me some information, right?"

"name?"

Liao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Let's call it "Electromagnetic Gun"!"
