pianist from the sea

Chapter 204 I am Fu Tiao
Kapustin didn't say much, and left after chatting with Fu Tiao. When he left, he left some music scores for Fu Tiao, which were some works he had written before.

He did not force Fu Tiao to play the works he wrote, but said that if Fu Tiao is interested, he can try to perform these works. If he is not interested, he can talk about it later, after Fu Tiao's European tour is over. , and then discuss these.

As for the follow-up discussion, Kapustin did not say, but looking at his eyes, he seemed to have some ideas.

When Fu Tiao returned to the bar, the group of people were still crazy, but the jazz works they played gradually changed from the previous cool works to soft ones.

Some of them even got drunk. For example, Hiromi Ishihara, who was lying carelessly sleeping with a huge beer mug in her hand.

But He Shen got up, picked up his clothes, put his arms around Zhao Zitong, and prepared to leave.

When he saw Fu Tiao coming back, he couldn't help but smiled and waved his hand, and asked.

"How? I heard that Kapustin was coming. I thought he was coming to play the piano. I didn't expect him to come and sit for a while. It's a pity, but I heard you and Ishihara today. Hiromi's performance isn't too bad... By the way, what did Kapustin talk to you just now?"

"Kapustin didn't say anything to me, just said that if I had the opportunity, I could try to play some of his compositions, that's all."

Fu Diao shrugged, and also walked aside, picked up his clothes and said to He Shen.

"Walk together?"

"Row!"

After Fu Tiao greeted the bar owner behind him, he and He Shen left the bar together.

Just like what Fu Tiao saw when he first came in, this bar is really not eye-catching. I don’t know why it feels very noisy in the room, but when you walk to the main road, you can hardly hear a lot of music. , is only vaguely present.

The surrounding area is obviously very quiet, only the faint sound of vehicles and the footsteps of passers-by running.

If you didn't know in advance that there is a jazz bar in this place, you will not notice that there is music in this place at all.

This feeling is like a dream. When you wake up from the dream, everything will be severed.

Fu Tiao looked at the incomplete moon above his head, and the countless faintly visible stars, and couldn't help letting out a breath of mist.

He rubbed his arm, looked at the two people who were snuggling together, and sighed helplessly.

"Teacher Ho……"

"Huh? What's the matter?" He Shen put his arms around Zhao Zitong, looked at the starry sky above his head, and asked casually, "Is there anything else?"

"Forget it, it's nothing, you can continue..." Fu Tiao turned away from looking at the two, and asked casually: "I just want to ask, Mr. He, you came to Paris this time only for Kapustin alone ?"

"Of course not. If it wasn't because I got a concert ticket from you through my friends and scalpers, I wouldn't come to Paris, a garbage city. Wouldn't it be nice for me to barbecue and sunbathe in a small villa in the suburbs?"

I don't know if it's because the air treatment effect is better, or the surrounding lights are not obvious, but in the streets of Paris, you can actually see the stars above your head.

Although not as dense as those in the countryside, these faintly visible stars always have a special magic power that completely attracts your sight and attention.

Even though He Shen has seen the starry sky countless times, he can't help but feel intoxicated every time he looks up.

He looked at the starry sky with his arms around Zhao Zitong, and asked Fu Tiao, "Speaking of which, how are your preparations for the Paris concert going?"

"Preparation is okay, many things have been prepared before, such as Chopin's works, this time Chopin's works are going to try Chopin's full set of ballades, and at the same time, we will also practice with a set of Chopin's Op25 Let's sing."

"These works... I don't seem to have taught you much before?"

"Indeed, but these works are not difficult. After roughly understanding Chopin's overall logic, if you push this piece backwards, you can almost understand how this set of works should be played."

"Is that so..."

He Shen turned his head and looked at Fu Tiao, feeling a little helpless: "I can hardly recognize you at the speed you are growing up now. It takes me a long time to practice a set of works by myself, but you actually sell a few sets of works casually." , your speed of progress is too outrageous."

Speaking of this, He Shen sighed, and patted Fu Tiao's shoulder: "Anyway, if you don't understand anything, you can come to me, I'm always here."

"OK, all right."

"Then... see you at the music meeting?"

"Meet the music."

He Shen waved at Fu Tiao, took Zhao Zitong, and the two left Fu Tiao's side and walked into the distance.

But Fu Tiao stood there staring at him for a while, then walked in another direction, the hotel he had booked was in that place.

……

The jazz exchange meeting this time did not cause much disturbance, after all, for ordinary people, they were completely unaware of the existence of this event.

That is, those people in the jazz circle are discussing this matter.

From hearing the name of Fu Tiao in magazines before, to people in the jazz circle discussing Fu Tiao, it has only been less than a week.

Fu Diao really left his mark in the jazz circle.

Especially the next day Hiromi Ishihara tweeted a picture of Fu Tiao holding a wine glass with her arms around Fu Tiao's neck, and there was only half of He Shen on the side, with a text in Japanese road.

"Last night, I drank a few glasses of beer with Fu Tiaosang and listened to his performance. Just like those reports said, he is indeed a very strong man. He is long and hard. He is really perfect!"

And there is a group of people replying there.

"Did Hiromi-chan go to Paris today? I saw a lot of jazz musicians went to Paris."

"Huh? I've heard the news too. It seems to be a party in the jazz circle. Has Mr. Fu Diao been invited to it?"

"I heard that those who were able to perform on stage at that party were all bigwigs in the jazz circle. Only bigwigs can have members. If there are no members, you can only listen to it below. Listening to Hiromi sauce's description, Fu Jun is actually the same Are you a member?"

"Sack of bridge beans! The Fu Jun you are talking about, which Fu is it? Is it the Fu Jun I imagined?"

"Fu Jun, the winner of the Chopin International Piano Competition, should be the one you imagined."

"Didn't Fu Jun play classical music, mainly Chopin? Why did he suddenly start playing jazz?"

"Eh? Eh? Eh? What? Has Mr. Fu started playing jazz? Is he ready to start his transformation?"

"Amazing! Not only is he good at playing classical music, but he is also so good at playing jazz. Is Fu Jun the king of piano?"

"Hiromi-chan! Are you going to hold a concert in Paris? How did you go to Paris recently?"

"Fu Jun! I like Fu Jun so much! The dreamy linkage! Love love love love love..."

"..."

Looking at Hiromi Ishihara's twitter, the people in Japan suddenly became excited. They never thought that Hiromi Ishihara would link up with Fu Tiao.

In particular, many people's impressions of Fu Tiao are still based on the Chopin works played by Fu Tiao. They are completely unaware of the jazz that Fu Tiao is currently playing, and the people in Dongying are extremely surprised.

And after being surprised, there is excitement and excitement.

It's not just the linkage between Fu Tiao and their jazz goddess Hiromi Ishihara, but more importantly, Fu Tiao plays jazz.

Although many people may not have paid much attention to it, among the countries with the most powerful jazz in the world, Dongying is definitely the top card among them, and Dongying Jazz has basically reached the point where it can be analyzed and discussed separately.

They especially like the expression of jazz.

In addition, almost every Japanese student has been exposed to classical music when they were young, and they are no strangers to classical music.

Therefore, after seeing Fu Diao, who defeated their piano goddess Amy and Aishi Kobayashi, actually cooperate with their jazz goddess Hiromi Ishihara to play jazz, and after getting the approval of Hiromi Ishihara, this kind of surprise It is simply indescribable.

"Fu Jun is so handsome! Who has the jazz music played by Fu Jun! I really want to listen to his jazz!"

"Si Guoyi! I didn't expect Fu Jun to dabble in jazz. His contact with music is really terrifying."

"Sorry, I didn't find anything about Fu Jun playing jazz, but I found Fu Jun's own classical music jazz adaptation, although I don't know why he posted this, but this is the only one I can find that is jazz related works."

"Let me be healthy! Let me be healthy!"

"..."

Everyone quickly clicked on the link sent by the previous person and observed carefully.

Fu Tiao's most popular videos before were basically on domestic websites like PiliPili. After all, he had caused a wave of enthusiasm in China before, and many people discussed whether his jazz was overturned or adapted.

At that time, the number of views of those videos had reached hundreds of thousands, far exceeding the vast majority of works of the same kind.

As for websites like Youtube, he doesn’t click to play many, and there hasn’t been a single video with [-] views. After all, Fu Tiao’s operations on those websites are not actively operated, basically just by some people’s accidental clicks. It will increase some clicks.

For example, Andre et al.

But this time, after Hiromi Ishihara took a photo with Fu Tiao, and the following person posted a video of Fu Tiao on Youtube, the video of Fu Tiao, which had been silent for a long time, finally had some fluctuations again, and the number of clicks suddenly increased. A few k, a few k grow up.

And there are many more comments.

It's just that most of them are in Japanese.

"Is this the Sir of Fu Jun? Hmm...it's different from what I imagined, it always feels wrong."

"Reply 'This is...': This is not the direction of traditional jazz, but an adaptation of jazz. It requires specific analysis of specific works. Don't analyze all works with the same set of theories. Do you understand?"

"Wow, this adaptation of Fu Jun is really cool! I really like this adaptation of Chopin's jazz!"

"Very interesting work, love comes from Japan."

"Judging from Fu Jun's jazz adaptation, Fu's understanding of jazz has surpassed that of ordinary people. It is not surprising that this level of performance can enter the jazz club."

"Can this level be on the same level as Hiromi? I don't quite understand. Can someone tell me?"

"Purely speaking from the professional level, we don't discuss innovation, improvisation and other aspects, but only discuss the basic skills. Fu Jun's basic skills are the best among all jazz musicians I have ever seen, even the one who can reach the top. Well, there’s nothing to say about that.”

"You are talking nonsense. Fu Jun is a classical musician. Among all musicians, the group with the strongest basic skills are almost all classical musicians. As for jazz musicians and pop musicians, although they can play some strange music works, but when it comes to basic skills, no one can compare with a classical musician like Fu Jun, right?"

"Actually, from Fu Jun's adaptation of classical works, we can also see that when Fu Jun is adapting it, he will not purely adapt it into the kind of jazz we imagined, but will adapt it according to its era. For example, in Chopin Among the jazz, Fu used all classical jazz."

"Is there such a possibility... Fu Jun doesn't know how to perform modern jazz?"

As soon as this comment was posted, it was ridiculed by everyone.

"Hahahaha, are you kidding? Fu Jun can enter the jazz club and belong to the same membership as Hiromi. Can he be a modern jazz?"

"Bastard! How dare you insult Fu Jun! Apologize to Fu Jun!"

"The one in front, if you have no culture, don't come out and talk. It is not easy to play traditional jazz well. It is much more difficult than learning new jazz. It seems that you have already become a math teacher in a high school (Japanese high school), but you said Didn't you study advanced mathematics in your own university?"

"Although I don't know much about jazz, what you said in front of me is too rude. You are not only insulting Fu Jun, but also insulting Hiromi! Hurry up and apologize to Fu Jun and Hiromi, Kuso (asshole) !"

"..."

There were many, many comments under Fu Tiao's videos, and the comments continued to grow.

The increase in the number of plays of these works has also aroused the censorship of big data streaming on YouTube. After the system automatically analyzed the data of Fu Tiao's video, it also pushed this video to other people who are interested in jazz.

Originally, there were only comments in Chinese and Japanese, but some languages ​​such as English, Italian, French and German gradually appeared.

It's just that those are still a minority, not particularly many.

Hiromi Ishihara also noticed this point. After seeing her fans criticizing each other, she was a little helpless for a while. She didn't know if she should stop those people from going up. She said that Fu Tiao really didn't understand modern jazz. He just played classical jazz to the extreme.

After all, Dongying's Twitter and forums are still very hostile, especially for people inside themselves, it is simply the Plus version of Huaguo.

It's just that they don't have many purely curse words in their language, and they don't sound particularly vicious.

In addition to Ishihara Hiromi noticing this, many other people who participated in the exchange in the jazz circle also saw this video of Fu Tiao.

Although they can't understand Japanese, they can use Google Translate to directly translate the page and view the whole.

Seeing the group of Dongying people arguing about whether Fu Tiao will be a new jazz, I couldn't help but want to laugh.

Fu Diao admitted in the club that he was not good at modern jazz.

It does sound unbelievable, but it's true, so it's fun to watch these guys fight when you know the truth.

But they won't be idle, saying everywhere that Fu Tiao doesn't know modern jazz, what he knows is classical jazz and so on, so no one goes up to disrupt the situation.

The most important thing for them now is to go to Fu Tiao's concert.

None of them, including He Shen, Ishihara Hiromi, Kapustin, etc., had any spare cash. For them, buying a Fu Tiao ticket at a premium was not a big deal.

Especially after getting in touch with Fu Tiao before, and knowing the content of the encore works after Fu Tiao’s concert, they are more willing to spend more money to buy Fu Tiao’s concert tickets to see how Fu Tiao’s concert is. .

Therefore, when the group of people on the Internet were arguing very fiercely, they had already started to read Fu Tiao's previous works in advance, so that they could become more familiar with Fu Tiao's performance style and be able to better appreciate Fu Tiao's performance.

Time passed quickly, and while the Dongying people were still fighting among themselves, the time had already come to Paris time, around three o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday.

Holding the music score in his hand, Fu Tiao walked slowly to La Boétie Street in the [-]th arrondissement of Paris, and stopped in front of a very traditional French-style building here, and stood firm.

"Salle Gaveau, Gaveau Hall, it should be this way."

Fu Tiao picked up the message sent to him by Deutsche Grammophon in his hand, compared the names on it, confirmed the location of his performance, and walked into the concert hall.

Just after entering the door, a waiter who thought he was dressed very formally came over from one side, looked at Fu Diao's Asian face, and spoke in English.

"Sorry, sir, we are not officially open yet. If you have reserved tickets for tonight, please take a look around for the time being, and wait until the specific time before you can check in... I need to help you check your Check-in time?"

"No, no, I don't have a ticket. I'm not here for a concert."

Fu Tiao looked around at this old concert hall located in the center of Paris, said to have been more than 100 years old, and nodded with great satisfaction at the interior decoration, and said to the waiter.

"I was invited to give a piano concert tonight..."

"Fu Diao."
