pianist from the sea

Chapter 231 Nocturne
"Teacher Fu Tiao, are you okay? Why are you here so late?"

As soon as Fu Tiao entered the concert hall, the person in charge of the concert hall heard the news and ran over. He said to Fu Tiao with concern, "I've been sending you messages, but you haven't replied to me."

"It's okay, I was blocked at the door for a while just now, don't worry about it."

Fu Tiao smiled and didn't say much, but walked towards the inside of the concert hall, and soon came to the preparation room of the concert hall.

The preparation room of the Haicheng Grand Theater is obviously also carefully designed. Unlike the Gavo Concert Hall, which has no windows and looks a little crowded, the concert hall preparation room of the Haicheng Grand Theater can see the scenery outside the window. .

These views are obviously specially designed, not just a simple opening of a window as in the Cadogan Concert Hall.

However, there is nothing special about the items placed in the room.

It is a simple reclining chair, a piano, a coffee table, and some fruits, peanuts and melon seeds on the coffee table, as well as some biscuits and other small snacks.

The amount is not very large, and it seems that the possibility of placing it here for decoration is greater than the real supply.

Of course, it must be edible, otherwise it would not be placed in the house.

The person in charge stood there watching Fu Tiao enter the room, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile.

"Since you have arrived, Mr. Fu Tiao, you should rest here first. The piano in the concert hall has also been placed. If you want, you have almost rested. We will go directly to the hall for final confirmation and practice. , do you have any other questions?"

"No problem, but the violin has been tried, let's try again a few hours before the concert."

"Okay, feel free to contact me if you have any questions, I'm always around."

After finishing speaking, the man nodded slightly to Fu Tiao, then carefully closed the door and left quickly.

And Fu Tiao was the only one left in the room.

After Fu Diao walked and glanced at the scenery outside the window, he sat in front of the piano and tapped the keyboard in front of him casually.

The works he is going to perform today have been practiced countless times, and almost all of them have formed muscle memory.

Therefore, he just kept the most basic exercises before the performance, just keeping his body hot.

As for playing at full strength...

Let's talk about this stuff later when we are on stage.

After all, playing with all your strength consumes not physical strength, but emotions.

If you don't have any emotion when you go back and play, it's not fun.

Fu Tiao played the piano in his hand with ease, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze with a peaceful expression.

And outside the window, that is, the group of Fu Tiao fans outside the concert hall, were stunned at each other.

They looked at each other in disbelief, not believing what they had just seen.

"Wait, wait, that one just now, is it Fu Tiao?"

"I don't understand, tell me quickly, did Fu Tiao walk past us just now?"

"Fuck? Is this the closest I've been to my idol?"

"I'm fine, my life is worth it, you guys keep going."

"It's terrifying. Fu Tiao actually walked past us. We haven't noticed yet. But then again, Fu Tiao is really handsome."

"Indeed, compared to the inhumane, unearthly feeling in the photos, I feel that Fu Tiao is more humane now."

"That's right, that's right, I feel that Fu Diao is even more handsome than the one we saw on the poster just now, I didn't even recognize him at the time..."

"Did I just hear someone say that Fu Tiao is not as good as the poster? Who came from it? I seem to be a little lost..."

"Nonsense, no one ever said that."

"..."

The people outside the house were in a mess, and no one could convince anyone, so they had no choice but to walk from the back door to the front door of the concert hall.

After all, Fu Tiao has already entered the concert hall, so what are they waiting for here?
Waiting for Fu Tiao to come out to breathe and smoke when he is bored?

The concert hall is not a particularly small concert hall. This place occupies a large area, and there is a special smoking area inside. Fu Tiao pulled his head out and smoked in this place?
Besides, they don't know whether Fu Tiao smokes or not. At least they haven't seen the news about Fu Tiao's smoking in newspapers and some magazines.

The crowd dispersed in a rush, and soon merged into the crowd in the front hall of the concert hall, waiting for the start of the concert.

And this time is actually not long before Fu Tiao's opening.

After everyone waited for a while, the people from the concert hall had already started to let people in and let them enter the concert hall to wait.

The habits of the concert halls in Huaguo are actually very different from those in foreign countries.

What Huaguo pays attention to here is a matter of pragmatism. When you come to the concert, you come to the concert. The whole hall seems relatively empty, and there are more music-related decorations.

For example, the history of some ancient musical instruments in Huaguo, the description of the origin of music, and the silhouettes of some top artists playing in this place.

Everyone will basically wait in the concert hall, that's all.

In foreign countries, especially in Europe, there are a group of people standing in the hall outside the concert hall with champagne and red wine, chatting casually, chatting, drinking and socializing.

After all, in the concert halls abroad, there is basically a special water bar in the most conspicuous position, which sells coffee, red wine, white wine, champagne, and some simple food.

Such as bread, sandwiches, and simple burgers with meat in bread.

On the Huaguo side, there is no such equipment, and everyone is not used to chatting and socializing outside the concert hall.

If you are in the hall outside Huaguo's concert hall, holding a glass of red wine or champagne and chatting there.

There is a very high chance that someone will complain that you are "pretending" or something like that.

As for the clothes to wear, there is no need to wear a suit or a formal dress as in the legend, and they are basically casual.

Apart from the fact that you must not wear shorts and slippers to enter the venue, there are not many other requirements.

Soon, everyone entered the concert hall wearing various clothes, chatting with each other with smiles in their seats, waiting for the start of the concert.

Like everyone else, Jiang Ruijia walked carefully to her seat, the VIP seat in Zone A of 1888 Gold Supreme, holding her schoolbag.

After sitting down, he tentatively looked around, and then his pupils widened involuntarily.

There were more people in the concert hall than she had imagined.

She had never noticed that there were so many people in the concert hall.

Let’s not talk about District A, after all, this is a high-priced area, the price is very expensive, let’s talk about other places.

For example, the Tianbian ticket her classmate mentioned earlier is the area for the 20 yuan ticket. It is at the farthest position of the concert hall, and there are almost no vacant seats in that area.

Jiang Ruijia casually looked over and found that there were all people there.

All black heads were whispering in that place, and the densely packed crowd was about to show crowd phobia.

If you don't look carefully, it's hard to see how many of them are still vacant.

At least Jiang Ruijia sat there staring at the distant place for a long time before finding an empty seat, which was quickly occupied by a newcomer, adding a new layer of waves to the black sea of ​​hair.

Jiang Ruijia thought for a while, got up and turned to look at the position behind her, which is the position of BC under normal circumstances, and even the position of DEF, to see what kind of situation these positions are.

Then, she was stunned again.

These places are also almost full, and they can't find any vacant seats.

Except for the people in Area A who still have some seats left unoccupied, the other places seem to be full.

Jiang Ruijia could even hear a mother and son behind her talking in that place. The mother kept teaching her restless child, saying that she wanted him to learn how to play Fu Tiao well, and strive to become a person like Fu Tiao in the future. .

"Fu Diao him...how strong is his influence?"

Jiang Ruijia looked at the crowd around her, feeling a little bit confused for a while.

She knew that Fu Tiao was very strong, but she never thought that Fu Tiao's appeal was so strong.

Even for tickets in District A, there are mothers who are willing to spend a lot of money to bring their children to listen.

Really scary.

As time got closer to the start of the concert, even Area A with the least number of people was gradually full, and Jiang Ruijia was also full of people.

There were men and women who came together, old men and women who came in formal attire, and even more parents who brought their children.

The entire concert hall was in chaos, and everyone was chatting excitedly, discussing what Fu Tiao might play later, and discussing how awesome Fu Tiao is now.

Amid the discussions among the crowd, the lights above the concert hall gradually dimmed. At the same time, the lights on the stage also slowly turned on, shining on the piano.

There was no hint, but everyone already knew that the concert was about to start.

Whoa!
applause.

Under the applause of the crowd, Fu Tiao walked out from behind the stage in a simple suit, walked to the front of the concert hall, and bowed slightly to the crowd.

The light above his head shone brightly on his face.

"Damn? Fu Diao is so handsome?"

Jiang Ruijia suddenly heard an exclamation from around, and couldn't help but look around, and found that the couple next door were discussing Fu Tiao.

The girl looked at Fu Tiao in obvious shock. She didn't expect Fu Tiao to be so handsome on stage.

When Jiang Ruijia turned her head to look at Fu Tiao, she was also a little shocked.

Fu Tiao was a little different from usual. Before going on stage, he seemed to have put on some stage makeup, not the kind of sissy makeup, but to imprint his facial features deeper, so that his face would not be exposed to the light. Eaten by the light when illuminated.

With such a simple makeup, Fu Tiao seemed to be a different person, completely opposite to the Fu Tiao in Jiang Ruijia's memory.

"This is... Fu Tiao?"

Jiang Ruijia's mind was in chaos.

Not only her, but even Fu Tiao himself was a little shocked. When he performed in foreign countries before, he was rarely asked to put on makeup before going on stage, so that his face would not be eaten by the stage lights.

I didn't expect to be in Huaguo now, but I have to put on makeup.

Even though Haicheng was performing for the second time, he had already put on makeup once before in the capital, but he was still a little uncomfortable.

Hearing the applause and whispers from under the stage, Fu Tiao couldn't help but blushed a little.

I don't know if it's because the stage lights are tanned, or the foundation is put on, or I feel a little bit embarrassed because I feel that others are discussing my stage makeup.

But Fu Tiao is Fu Tiao after all, he endured the weirdness in his heart, bowed slightly to the audience off the stage calmly, and returned to his seat.

Under the eyes of everyone, he slowly raised his hand.

At this moment, the entire concert hall became extremely quiet as if the still button had been pressed.

There was no more whispering, nor any applause.

Everyone was watching Fu Tiao very seriously, looking forward to Fu Tiao's performance.

Performance makeup or something is actually not important to the performer.

After all, these pianists still need to use the piano to speak, not fans of appearance.

Under everyone's gaze, Fu Tiao raised his hand, and slowly pressed down like a wave.

hum...

Chopin's Nocturne, Op9, No2, the most famous nocturne among Chopin's works, is also everyone's favorite nocturne.

This is a very weak opening, starting with the upbeat position, extremely soft and soothing.

As gentle as described in Nocturne.

This is the opening music of Fu Tiao. The reason why he chose Chopin Op9No2 as the beginning of his last concert in Huaguo, and even in the world, is because he saw many parents with children in the concert hall. In addition, a bigger reason is...

This is Chopin at the age of 20, a worried Chopin.

And this, he is also 20 years old.

hum, hum...

The main theme of the right hand is tactful and melodious in the concert hall, with a trace of melancholy and sadness.

Using Fu Tiao's best musical aesthetics, he interpreted this melancholy melody line to the extreme.

And the left hand is a chord without any hesitation.

It is obviously a chord with a big jump. Normally, this kind of chord is easy to aggravate the finger sound, and the performance of the music seems weird.

But under his command, there seemed to be no problem.

Soft, still tender with a hint of pain.

The little finger gently moved the bass at the bottom of the piano, making the music itself softer.

Like clouds.

Just like the title of this work, Nocturne.

Maybe it doesn't have as much thoughtfulness as other nocturnes, but this one can still express its beauty.

Just like meeting in a dream.

This soft beauty made everyone forget a lot of troubles and messy thoughts, and made everyone's attention sink slowly, immersed in Fu Tiao's performance and unable to extricate themselves.

Sure enough, this is Fu Tiao.

As in the legend, his performance is so strong that you can't tell the difference between him and the top pianists.

After all, as long as it is not a god-level venue, the level of strength between the first-line pianists and the top pianists is actually not that big. Even if you force the distinction, there is no way to distinguish it clearly.

You can only tell who played the wrong note, who has a little problem somewhere.

That's it.

The difference between first-line pianists and top-tier pianists lies in the performance of this god-level scene.

A god-level scene needs the right time, place and people, and both are indispensable. Even Argerich and Zimmerman don't necessarily want to play a god-level live scene to be able to play a god-level live scene.

Therefore, for them, Fu Tiao's performance is not much different from that of top pianists.

Especially put Fu Tiao and Li Diyun together.

Maybe Li Diyun's performance is more Chopin, but one thing to say, Fu Tiao's performance is more reassuring.

Everyone would not think that Fu Tiao might overturn, after all, he never overturned a car during his European tour.

But many people are expecting Li Diyun to overturn. His chances of overturning, especially in recent years, are much higher than that of Fu Tiao.

Listening to this softness and soothing, everyone's emotions have completely settled down, listening to Fu Tiao's performance with a smile, and feeling his interpretation.

The same is true for Jiang Ruijia. She even feels that she has lost much social fear. She doesn't even notice that there is her own teacher about three or four places away from her.

Head of the Piano Department of Haicheng Conservatory of Music.

The head of the department sat in his seat, listening to Fu Tiao's performance, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but relax.

He didn't tell anyone that he came to Fu Tiao's concert, and even booked the most expensive ticket for Fu Tiao.

Even his lover and his wife didn't tell.

He didn't want anyone to know that he came to pay for the concert of the students in his school, even though he didn't teach Fu Diao a single time.

In fact, he really wanted to see how Fu Tiao's current strength was.

After all, everyone was blowing his performance before, especially those colleagues and peers in the capital. He was very moved by those people playing, and he was very curious.

It's as if Fu Diao is the hope for the future of Chinese classical music.

They have all heard Fu Tiao's performance, but he has not. He is not worthy to discuss the development of classical music in Huaguo.

So, he came to witness Fu Tiao's performance, to see if Fu Tiao's performance was as amazing as those people said.

He would like to listen and see, how strong can Fu Tiao he be?

It can't be strong enough to go to the sky, can it?
Now, he heard it.

Indeed, just as his colleagues and compatriots said, Fu Tiao's level of strength is invincible for musicians who are still in China.

That is to say, those who explore overseas markets are comparable.

As for the opening piece, Chopin’s Nocturne Op9, No2, which is played by everyone and is almost broken, how can Fu Tiao produce a new feeling?
just like……

In the cruise hall on the sea at night, a woman who smiles like an elf shuttles, steps and dances among the crowd accompanied by the sound of the piano.

The holy thing made him dare not touch it.

　It’s a bit late, and I’ve booked the air ticket and hotel to return to Harbin and Shenyang in August. Now I’m going to write the next chapter, and I should be able to come out before 12 o’clock.
