Chapter 144 Does Your Teacher Know You Pretend Like This?
Fu Diao obviously did not expect Wang Kai to come to this place. He and He Shen came out without saying anything. Even coming to this coffee shop was his sudden decision. How did Wang Kai find him? ?

Fu Tiao looked at Wang Kai suspiciously, and said hesitantly, "You...why did you come here alone, and you found me?"

"Why did I come here alone? How did I find you? Do you have the nerve to say so?"

The resentment on Wang Kai's face made him almost pat the table.

"Who told me at the time that after the competition, I would do a separate interview. Wait a minute, the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition needs it, the Ministry of Culture of the Polish government also needs it, and there are many, many places that have needs. You were at that time Promise me, but why I waited for you for three whole days and didn't see your figure! If it wasn't for my friends at the Chopin Concert Hall, they said that you left the piano room and left with Mr. He , I may still be kept in the dark, still waiting for you to come and do an exclusive interview with me!"

"This……"

Fu Tiao could feel the anxiety in Wang Kai's heart when he heard Wang Kai's voice, he couldn't help but scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at He Shen beside him, and gave him a look.

But he didn't expect that He Shen actually stepped back a little, hugging his hands, with a look of excitement on his face.

When he saw Fu Tiao's eyes, he obviously ignored it, and didn't take Fu Tiao's hint at all.

Fu Tiao waited for a long time and did not wait for He Shen to help speak, so he could only sigh: "Okay, I admit that this is my fault, so shall we do an exclusive interview at this place? Or should we find a separate place?"

"of course……"

Before Wang Kai could finish his voice, the waiter named Andre walked up to them with two cups of coffee and a piece of New York cheesecake, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Fu! This is your coffee and cake, and then..."

After putting down all his things, he looked at Wang Kai who had just come over with some hesitation, and said hesitantly, "This gentleman..."

"Just give me a cup of Italian double espresso, how much?" Wang Kai immediately took out his wallet and took out two 10 zloty banknotes.

Andre reached out to take the 20 zlotys in his hand, then found 5 zlotys in his pocket, smiled and said: "Okay, 15 zlotys, I charge you 20 zlotys, find You five zlotys."

After that, he quickly walked towards the coffee shop, and within 2 minutes, he held a small ceramic cup of about 330ml and placed it in front of Wang Kai.

"Have a nice day and enjoy yourself."

Andrei smiled at Wang Kai and Fu Tiao Heshen, and left quickly.

After seeing Andre completely disappeared from everyone's sight, Wang Kai breathed a long sigh of relief, took a sip of coffee, and was about to put it down, but his eyes lit up, and he drank two more sips. After everyone paid attention to him, he couldn't help coughing twice, and said again.

"Well, I originally planned to ask you to find a place for an interview alone, but now it seems that I should do an exclusive interview here alone."

"Ok."

Fu Tiao leaned back towards the rattan chair, looked at Wang Kai and nodded slightly: "Is the content of today's interview different from the previous one?"

"It's no different, they're all relatively simple questions." Wang Kai raised his head and looked around, then turned his attention to Fu Tiao again, and said in a low voice: "But we have to hurry up, you may have nothing It feels like, but in Warsaw, which is represented by Chopin, Fu Diao, you have become the hottest star in this city recently. The Andre just now is only a very small part, and there may be many more in the future People are chasing after me for autographs, so how about...we wait at my temporary residence in Warsaw?"

He Shen cheerfully took a bite of the cheesecake, and added vaguely on the side: "Compared to being surrounded by fanatical fans, I think the chances of being surrounded by you reporters are higher. I'm afraid you are not afraid of those fanatical fans. Is it another reporter?"

"It's all the same..."

"It's the same wherever you come from. If you have any questions, just ask quickly. Don't hesitate in this place. Later, all your journalist friends will find out and come after you. I'm afraid you will lose any chance."

"Alright alright."

He Shen's few short words directly defeated Wang Kai. He originally wanted to fool Youfu into his home for an interview, but he didn't expect He Shen to see through him at a glance. This made him extremely helpless, so he could only take another sip Coffee, after turning on the camera next to him, he said softly.

"Okay, Mr. Fu Tiao, first of all congratulations on your success in winning the Chopin International Piano Competition. This is the second time that Huaguo has won the Chopin International Piano Competition. It is 15 years away from the previous championship. Your championship is in the world. They belong to an extremely rare group, so I want to ask you, how does it feel to win the award?"

"The feeling of winning..."

Fu Diao didn't expect the first question to be this, so he couldn't help but think about it, hesitantly said: "Actually, I don't have any special feelings, maybe it's just a little bit of no real feeling? After all, I still have a lot of things to do now , in addition to accepting interviews, you also need to pay attention to the winner's concert in a while. Later, you may go to Germany or the beautiful country, and there will be a large number of performances that need to be prepared in the later stage, so in fact, there is no special feeling. Maybe It’s more like a process in life, right?”

The He Shen people beside him were all dumbfounded, and couldn't help making an awesome gesture.

If he was allowed to pretend, he might not pretend to be so natural. What is a stage of life?Whose life stage is so awesome?Can everyone win a world championship?

Sour, really sour.

Wang Kai also seemed to have a little feeling, so he couldn't help coughing, and said with a little curiosity: "Then can you tell me a little more about the situation at that time?"

"The game ended normally, and everyone was announced the results of the game. I stood in a relatively late position, so I didn't have anything to say? I remember that it was relatively late at that time, maybe around ten or eleven o'clock in the evening , I didn’t pay attention, you can all see these things from the live video of the game.”

"Ahem..." Wang Kai couldn't help but coughed twice, almost choking, what he wanted to ask was not these, but seeing that Fu Tiao didn't seem to understand, he just let it go: "Then I'm actually a little strange Curious, how did you, Fu Diao, win this championship, or rather, do you think you can become a champion, what is the difference from other people?"

"Hmm...a different place?"

Fu Tiao thought about it seriously at this time, but unfortunately he didn't have a more definite answer after thinking for a long time, so he couldn't help hesitating: "I don't think there is any difference."

"Tell me specifically? For example, your daily life?"

"Before the competition, I should be no different from ordinary students, except that when they are in class, I will take some professional courses, and then when they are doing their homework, I will practice the piano normally, and nothing else. The special difference is worth mentioning more, the daily life is to get up, go to the piano room, go to class, go to the piano room, and in the evening, you may listen to music, or you may be in a daze, doing something you like.”

"So can I ask about your future performance arrangements? I seem to have heard you mention a lot about performances just now. Do you have any special arrangements for future performances?"

"There is no special arrangement, except for the winner's concert that will start later, there are no other arrangements."

Before Fu Tiao's voice fell, He Shen beside him added.

"Actually, people from many local performance companies are looking for you, but I forgot to mention just now, they really want to talk to you about the time before you entered school, your performance career, because it is October now, If they want to enroll normally, they may have to wait until March and April. After all, even if they are admitted, they still need to go through the process and arrange you to meet with the teacher. The sudden appointment may disrupt their normal teaching time and Work, so you have a few months after the competition, before you go to school, you may have to run concerts around the world."

"what?"

Fu Tiao obviously didn't expect He Shen to say that. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think that more than half of his time had been reserved, so he couldn't help asking.

"Normally, how many games will there be?"

"After tomorrow night's session is over, someone should contact you. Normally, three sessions in two weeks is relatively normal. You have half a year before the official start of the session. According to this calculation, at least 30 sessions, Because you are from China, there will be at least half of them in China, and then there may be a few games in other places."

"Is that so..."

After hearing this, Fu Tiao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "It seems that there are not many."

"But the problem is that after you go to school, the performances will not decrease, but may increase, because in addition to your own performances, your teacher will occasionally arrange other performances for you to grow a bit, so……"

"understood."

Fu Diao rubbed his eyebrows. Although he has not officially started his global tour, he has already felt a lot of pressure, and he can't help but spread his hands and said helplessly: "It seems that the most important arrangement for me in the future is to balance A balance between my self-growth and playing it."

"Indeed, this point is indeed a point that all the champions of the Chopin International Piano Competition need to pay attention to. The main thing that every year's contestants pay attention to is this. Many people give up self-development because they pay too much attention to performance, which hurts Zhong Zhong. forever."

When talking about hurting Zhong Yong, the three of them laughed at the same time.

Wang Kai turned a page of the record in his hand, and watched Fu Tiao ask a rather sharp question.

"The Chopin International Piano Competition is only Chopin's works. Many people criticize this competition for being more like Chopin. I really want to know, for you, do you have any self-creating parts in Chopin's works?"

"Have."

Fu Tiao's expression was flat, and he said very seriously: "This is necessary. For me, the improvisational elements in Chopin's music are an indispensable part. There are many improvisational parts in Chopin's music. This is a feature of music in the romantic period. Many scores we see are actually versions for beginners, and the creators' improvised or better improvised versions will be used to replace our creations. However, in the competition, we do not I will always use these fixed versions, but add a lot of my own things.

And I... have been thinking about what belongs to me in music, what belongs to Chopin, looking for the most suitable existence among these things, even before I went on stage, I have been thinking about some things, and I can still find The details that I didn't notice before, and the stacking of these details have created my most perfect music.

This thing is constantly changing, it is dynamic, not dead, not the feeling that you don’t find him, he is there, but a very vivid feeling, Chopin’s music is alive Yes, and my music is also alive, the two are in constant communication to achieve a dynamic balance. "

Wang Kai smiled immediately: "Zhao Chengzhen is different from what you said."

"Of course, after all, we are not the same person. Our thoughts and thinking about music are completely different. Otherwise, if everyone is the same, what is the meaning of music? Music is because there is only one most basic answer, and there is no perfect answer. The answer becomes interesting, just like the code, the code is there and will not change, but someone can write the most powerful game in the world, while someone can write the simplest function and it will go wrong.”

"Using code as an analogy, I feel that those science and engineering men who don't understand music can understand it. I hope they won't attack you later."

"Hahahaha, indeed."

Everyone laughed, with different expressions. After all, it is very normal for those who study music to be looked down upon by those who study science and engineering. Many people say that robots can replace pianists.

That is, have they ever thought about a problem...

There's this thing called... a gramophone?Disc?record?

If you just want to listen to the most perfect performance, isn't it okay to buy these discs?Why waste so much time in the concert hall, just to... watch the robot play the piano?
Wang Kai looked at the record in his hand and asked with a smile: "So for you, being behind Zhao Chengzhen all the time, does it have any effect on you?"

"The influence should be a little bit. After all, you also know that if you want to win the championship, you must beat Zhao Chengzhen, so for me, I must think a little more."

"The two of you seem to be confronting each other all the time. The people between the two of you have been killed by the two of you. Hahaha, I feel that your mentality is really good."

"You must have a better mentality. After all, the Chopin International Piano Competition is so difficult, you must be in a better mood, right?"

"If that's the case, let's chat more deeply. For you, for Zhao Chengzhen, the two of you are fighting against each other. Apart from technology, what else do you think is more important?"

"What is the most important..."

Fu Tiao paused for a long time, took a sip of the cold coffee in front of him, and said slowly.

"Maybe, personally?"

"personal?"

"Well, when you reach the age of an adult, your music and your skills are actually not much different from others. The most important thing, for me, may be my personal aesthetics for music? This thing is actually very It’s hard to say, in addition to technology, it is also related to your personal experience, and this aesthetic is actually the key to forming a personal style, after all, style is people.

For example, my music, Zhao Chengzhen's music, Hamelin's music, whose music can impress the judges more, and is more in line with the judges' ideas about music, our technical gap is really very small, you can just take a pure technical For example, those works by Czerny, or Hanon, these Chinese piano students have practiced since childhood. If we play these works, there is really almost no gap between us.

So it can be derived from this place. It is worth discussing whether learning the piano should start from Hanon and Czerny, or start playing from other musical works, because practicing from an early age is very important. It can change a student's life.

But because of the interview, I will not say much, after all, I am not engaged in education. "

After Fu Tiao finished speaking, he smiled at the two of them, but the two of them didn't say anything, just a little low.

In fact, what textbooks should be used in music teaching is also a relatively important topic. Many people have begun to criticize Czerny and other works, thinking that these works are too boring and mechanical, but it is very difficult to promote other works.

So Fu Tiao just smiled at the two of them and didn't say much.

Wang Kai glanced at the record in his hand, and what follows are some questions about Fu Tiao's life, such as Fu Tiao's first contact with the piano, his thoughts on the teacher, and so on.

These questions may be more interesting to those who join in the fun, but for him, he feels that there is really no need to ask them.

So Wang Kai thought for a while, then smiled and put away the recording pen and camera in his hand, and said to Fu Tiao.

"Okay, basically these questions, thank you Fu Tiao for accepting my interview, but I have to remind you, there are still many people who want to interview you, you'd better run early, don't be stopped by others If you can't get out, everyone's resentment is great.

Then... I wish you a successful show! "

"Okay, thank you."

Fu Tiao smiled, drank the coffee in the cup, and asked He Shen beside him, "Shall we go then?"

"let's go."

He Shen also got up after drinking, and walked towards Chopin Hotel.

He had already seen some people running towards them in the distance, so for his own safety, it was better to go back early.

He Shen took Fu Tiao back to the hotel to rest quickly, and Fu Tiao quickly put the interview behind him and put his attention back on the music.

And the time soon came to the next day, the day of Chopin's concert.
