pianist from the sea

Chapter 183 Fu Tiao's Stage

Hearing Luka's voice, Andre couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then immediately raised his hands in surrender, begging for mercy.

"Okay, my fault, I'll take a taxi..."

"Hehe, you took my 500 euros and left, telling me that everything is included, but you just arrived in Brussels and didn't even know how to take a taxi to the concert. How dare you..."

Luka looked at Andre in a bad mood, and then walked out of the station along the flow of people, and Andre could only follow behind him, flicking his phone while walking.

The two soon arrived near the station.

The station here is different from Huaguo. There are not so many taxis waiting for people to get on the bus here, and there is not even a special stop for taxis.

Except for a temporary drop-off point for taxis that is only a few minutes away at the gate of the station, you will never see any other places where taxis can stay.

The two walked to the side of the road. After Andre made a few phone calls, a taxi soon stopped in front of them.

"The Royal Academy of Music in Brussels."

After getting into the taxi, without waiting for Andre to speak, Luca spoke directly, and Andre could only shake his head helplessly, and said to the driver: "Yes, go directly to the Royal Academy of Music in Brussels."

"it is good!"

After confirming that the two got into the car, the driver started the car without any hesitation and headed towards the Royal Academy of Music in Brussels.

But on the way, the driver glanced at the appearance of the two behind him, but suddenly asked.

"Are you...are you going to Dior Fu's concert?"

"Huh? You know what?"

Before Luca could speak, Andre raised his eyebrows a little excitedly, and asked the driver, "Is his concert popular in Brussels?"

"It's not really popular, but today, yesterday, I picked up several cars, all from the Central Station to the Royal Academy of Music in Brussels." The driver saw someone talking, and immediately said cheerfully: "You are the first one today. Four, I took the tenth."

"There are so many?"

Luca, who was sitting on the side and wasn't very interested at first, kept rubbing his head and looking out the window, couldn't help being stunned when he heard this sentence, and was also a little surprised.

"Is Fu so popular in Brussels?"

"I don't know if it's hot or not. After all, I can't see any signs on the street. I can only roughly know where my passengers are going. But in recent days, many people have gone to the Royal Academy of Music in Brussels."

The driver added with a smile as he drove the car.

The vehicle was driving very fast, and it didn't take long for it to arrive near the Royal Academy of Music in Brussels.

There were still a few minutes before the opening, but the vicinity of the conservatory was already crowded with people. There were many students, and there were many Chinese people. They even saw the shadows of some familiar professors in the crowd.

Seems to be a deutsche exchange as well.

Although many professors in Deutschland do not work in the same school, they often have some exchange activities, so even if you are not familiar with them, you can have a general impression.

Andre Luca walked into the crowd, greeted those professors who were also from Germany with a smile, and chatted casually about the information about this Fu Tiao concert.

As they can see now, the tickets for the Concert Hall of the Royal Academy of Music in Brussels have been sold out very early, and even the almost invisible scalpers in the concert have emerged at this time.

A ticket can even be sold for two hundred euros.

"What? Two hundred euros?" Luca was dumbfounded when he heard the man's words, and then looked at Andre beside him maliciously: "Five hundred euros, right? You asked me to take your Did you pay for the ticket?"

"Haha, you're not losing money. I paid for the train tickets and accommodation during this period. How can this be considered a loss?"

"But……"

Luca was about to say something, when the professor next to him directly added: "Although everyone is calling for two hundred euros, in fact, no one is willing to sell Fu Tiao's ticket, so you are not really losing money." After all, in actual calculation, the final transaction price may be three hundred euros, or even four hundred..."

"Fu Tiao's scalper tickets are so expensive? Are they three or four hundred euros?" Andre couldn't help being stunned when he heard it, and he was extremely curious: "Can the ticket prices for classical concerts be raised like this? This is too... "

"The main reason is that no one is willing to make a move. Everyone has traveled thousands of miles here just to listen to a Fu Tiao concert. Who would want to come here and add one or two hundred euros to the ticket that is less than one hundred euros?" The train tickets and accommodation are exchanged for money, just to make more tens and hundreds of dollars?"

While talking, the professor took out a bag of tobacco from his pocket, took out the note and the filter element, grabbed a little bit of tobacco and stuffed it on the note, then picked up his finger and licked it, and after pulling it on one side of the note, , wrap the paper strip around the filter element and roll it into the shape of a cigarette, light it, inhale hard, and then spit it out slowly.

"However, I don't want to sell it for [-] Euros, but if you give me [-] Euros, or [-] Euros, or [-] Euros, I don't think it matters, except for those who live in Brussels. People may agree to sell it, but no one else would think about selling this ticket, right?"

Holding the cigarette, he thought for a while, raised the tobacco in his hand and asked, "Would you like it?"

"No need..." Andre waved his hand, looking at the people around who were rushing this way, he couldn't help but said: "But you are right, it looks like Fu's main fans should all be from other countries Yes, it should be difficult for local people in Brussels to get it, right?"

"I don't know about it. I was recommended by my student. He watched Fu's performance in Berlin recently, and then he came back and kept telling me about it. I thought about it and booked the ticket to Brussels. Let’s see what kind of situation the performer he particularly likes. It happened that there were tickets in Brussels when I refreshed, but the tickets in other places were sold out long ago. The appeal of this box office is really terrifying.”

The man smoked the tobacco vigorously, showing a satisfied expression, then looked at Andre and the two, and asked curiously: "What about you? How did you come to Fu's concert? If I remember correctly If so, you two are... Hans Eisler's professor?"

"No, we are from Berlin University of the Arts."

Andre let out a long sigh: "I teach jazz, and he teaches pop piano. Both of us have never heard Fu's performance, but my student stole Fu's encore, and his encore repertoire feels very good." , I just bought a ticket from my student and listened to it."

"That's it..." The professor nodded, thoughtfully: "I heard that Fu's encore is really amazing. As far as the two scenes that have appeared so far have not been repeated, I don't know that Fu's encore is very good for this one. Several sets of works have been prepared for the concert.”

"Normally, one or two sets are enough. Basically, they are all kinds of permutations and combinations."

Luca added on the sidelines, then glanced at Andre, and said, "So your ticket was collected from your student, [-] Euros, right? Hehe..."

"Hey, what are you talking about? You didn't listen to what the professor said just now. If you want to collect five hundred euros, you may not be able to get it back. Everyone is here for the concert, and no one is willing to sell tickets."

"Tsk..."

Luca clicked his tongue lightly, looked at Andre and shook his head, did not continue to say anything, turned his head and continued to look at the entrance gate of the concert hall, waiting for the staff there to let him go.

Time passed quickly, and when the fourth cigarette butt appeared under the feet of Andre and another professor, the door of the concert hall of the Royal Academy of Music in Brussels also opened at this time, and several staff members or students appeared at the door.

"All those attending Fu Tiao's piano concert tonight, please enter at this place!"

The voice of the staff sounded, and the crowd immediately started to move, and everyone was pouring in the direction of the concert hall.

The professor cut off the unfinished cigarette in his mouth, poured the remaining tobacco back, nodded to Andre and Luka, and said casually.

"Okay, I'll go inside the concert hall first, see you later."

"See you later."

After that, the man followed the crowd into the concert hall, while Andre and Luca stood outside the concert hall.

Andre looked at Luca and shrugged helplessly: "Look, fortunately there is me. I said, you can't buy this five hundred euros, you can't suffer, you can't be fooled, and the five hundred euros you buy is absolutely worth it! Now How much has the ticket price of Fu Diao increased? Right? If you bought it by yourself, it would definitely be more than the five hundred euros you spent at that time."

"Ha ha……"

Luka looked at Andre and gave him an angry look, then walked towards the concert hall and said casually.

"Whatever, you've already taken the money anyway, so be it."

"No, don't say that. My heart softens when you say that, and I feel sorry for you. In this way, you scold me more, so that I can feel better with your money."

"Go away!"

"..."

The two noisily followed the crowd into the concert hall. Compared with the previous concert hall where students could only occupy less than half, the concert hall is now full of audiences from all over the world.

Not only people from Europe, but also people from East Asia and America all came here.

And beyond everyone's imagination, the most fanatical about Fu Tiao are not those Europeans, but the group of Dongying people with East Asian faces.

For Europeans, they can clearly distinguish whether a person is a German, a French, or a Bavarian Austrian, but they have no way to distinguish who is from Dongying, who is from South Korea, and who is from China. Chinese.

Therefore, they could only watch a group of people with East Asian faces yelling excitedly.

Only Chinese and South Koreans can tell that the group of extremely excited Asians are from Dongying.

The people in South Korea were the most upright, sitting in the corner, refusing to say a word, sitting upright, eyes wide open, waiting for Fu Tiao's appearance very respectfully.

The people on the Huaguo side communicated happily and in low voices, looking forward to Fu Tiao's appearance.

As for Dongpu...

"Master Fu is so handsome! Fu Sang's Chopin tonight, ahh, I really like Fu Sang's interpretation of Chopin!"

"It's so handsome! The champion of this year's Chopin International Piano Competition! It's a shame that we flew here from Paris to listen to his performance!"

"This year's Kobayashi is a bit lazy. He obviously represents the hope of our Dongpu, but he just entered the finals and didn't even get a decent ranking..."

"I really envy Hua Guo, Hua Guo has already produced two champions, and we have not had a single champion after so many years..."

"The waste Yamato nation! Sure enough, it has to be Huaguo, and Fu Sang is more handsome than Li Sang! He is more light-hearted, this is the temperament of an artist!"

"When will we have a talented pianist similar to Fu Sang to lead us forward..."

"..."

The mood of the group of people in Dongying is very changeable. Some people are scolding Dongying for not being up to date, some people are envious of Fu Tiao, and a group of people are whispering about the works that Fu Tiao will play tonight.

After all, it is clear that Japan's music development can be regarded as the strongest group in the world. Whether it is popular or classical or even jazz, the world's top masters on their side can be regarded as the strongest in East Asia. They learn.

However, in the field of pianos, they produce so many pianists every year, and they even have Yamaha, the world's top musical instrument manufacturer. They invest a lot of money in the Chopin International Piano Competition every year, but they just can't win the Chopin International Piano Competition The champion of the game.

This is about to become their heart disease and nightmare.

And they feel that Huaguo, which has relatively poor basic music education, not only failed to produce a great master as they thought, but first appeared a top pianist, and won the Chopin International Piano Competition they dreamed of.

This also made some of their students start to doubt themselves, whether their Yamato people are genetically defective, which is why they couldn't win the Chopin International Piano Competition.

After all, they couldn't find any other possibility.

In terms of hardware, they are top-notch in the world, and in terms of teachers, they are also top-notch in the world. They even have the largest number of teachers in music schools all over the world. Why can't they compare with Huaguo?

In addition, it is not the Showa era, and they are not Showa boys, and they are more often called Heisei waste, so it is more normal for them to have this idea.

Therefore, compared with Chinese and South Koreans, their yearning and expectations for Fu Tiao are also more perverted.

They longed for themselves to be like Fu Tiao.

Looking at the dense crowd around them, they couldn't help feeling a little bit of envy.

"By the way... when will Fu Sang be able to play in our Dongpu? If the global championship tour is on, he should be able to go to Dongpu... right?"

Looking at the huge sign of Fu Tiao's personal concert in front of them, several Dongying people couldn't help but think so.

It's just that they haven't thought of one thing at all, that is...

Fu Tiao's concert this time is just a very simple test to see how the market responds, and it doesn't mean that he has to run it all over the world.

This is why Fu Tiao basically only goes to one place in each country, and runs away when there is a concert, and then changes places.

If it’s a really big concert season, like in Germany, he might hold a concert for a month, from Munich, to Frankfurt, and then to Hamburg, Cologne, and Berlin.

As for the Huaguo tour, at least the capital, sea city, deep city and Hong Kong Island also need to go, and then Dongpu will definitely go to a few places, plus Seoul in South Korea.

At that time, if a global tour is really launched, it will definitely not be as easy as Fu Tiao is now, and even after a concert, there will be some time to go out and play around.

He might actually finish his performance in Berlin on the first day, fly to Salzburg the next day, and then go to Salzburg for a concert.

That's what it really means, the world is running around.

But these are still too far away from Fu Tiao, his most important goal now is to hold his personal concert well.

……

As time passed, the time for Fu Tiao to take the stage was getting closer and closer. At this time, Fu Tiao had already stood behind the stage, slightly correcting his suit and tie.

The suit he was wearing was still the one he wore at the Chopin International Piano Competition before. There were not many changes, and he did not choose a tuxedo in a particularly flamboyant way.

As for his neckline, he wore a black bow tie, which made him look much younger.

"how?"

Fu Tiao moved his wrist lightly, looked at the staff around him, and asked with a smile, "Should there be no problem?"

"There is no problem!"

The staff's eyes lit up, and they praised: "Very handsome! I like the bow on your neckline very much, it has improved your overall temperament a lot."

"Thank you."

Fu Tiao nodded with a smile, walked to the entrance of the concert hall, looked at the people who were discussing quietly outside the door, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Since standing on the stage more and more times, his resistance to the stage has become less and less. He even likes this kind of performance standing under the eyes of everyone, enjoying being alone, facing the loneliness of the whole world .

Although he may become more and more afraid of loneliness as he ages, at least at this moment, he enjoys this kind of loneliness.

"Fu! Do you need to confirm the performance again?" The staff came over with the form in his hand, looked at Fu Tiao and said, "This time I see that you are going to play the complete set of Chopin's preludes, which you don't seem to have played before. , Is there really no problem playing now? The arrangement of the second half feels different from the previous one.”

"No problem, trust me."

Fu Tiao turned his head to look at the staff, and nodded with a smile: "If you keep playing the same piece, then there is a problem."

After all, the lights in the concert hall outside the house gradually dimmed, while the warm yellow lights on the piano became hotter.

With the dimming of the lights, the discussion voices of the people became lower and lower, and finally disappeared, and everyone looked at Fu Tiao with great anticipation.

From his debut in Berlin to his brilliant performance in Amsterdam, Fu Tiao gave totally different surprises every time.

So now in the concert hall of the Royal Academy of Music in Brussels, what kind of surprise will Fu Diao give them?
Under everyone's expectation, Fu Tiao opened the door and stepped onto the stage.

　I vomited everything I ate yesterday, I vomited all over the floor after eating only fruit, I finally had no choice but to go to the hospital for an injection, I just came home from the hospital, I was rushed out of the chapter, sorry.

　　In addition, I have personally verified that it is fake that you have to wait for sickness abroad. In fact, you only waited for three to four minutes.
