pianist from the sea

Chapter 262 Climbing to the top
"Fu Diao? Are you Fu Diao?"

The staff's eyes widened involuntarily, looking at Fu Tiao, he didn't react for a while, but he didn't expect that the man in front of him, who was wearing a slightly ordinary suit, was actually Fu Tiao.

You must know that the top pianists they met before were all in luxurious suits, with a touch of extravagance on their bodies.

No top pianist is as approachable as Fu Tiao.

wrong.

To be precise, there is another person who is also, and that is Lang Liangyue.

And Fu Tiao is not a top pianist, but a first-line pianist.

The staff member rubbed his brain, which was about to break down, and couldn't help but think so.

Although I don't know why I feel that Fu Tiao is like a top pianist and not a first-line pianist, but his professionalism as a staff member made him react quickly, throwing the pinched cigarette aside and crushing it with his feet Then he smiled and said to Fu Tiao.

"Okay, Mr. Fu Tiao, I know why you are here, please follow me."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to other colleagues and smiled, then pushed open the door of the concert hall, walked into the concert hall with Fu Tiao, and asked Fu Tiao.

"Mr. Fu Tiao, if I'm not mistaken, you came to see the concert hall today, right?"

"Yes, the same as everyone else." Fu Tiao nodded, looking around the environment he had seen three or four times.

The staff was not surprised, and said directly: "Okay, due to the special setting of the piano, this concert will be fully invested by Steinway, so only Steinway's piano can be used, what's the problem? Is it? If you want to use other pianos, you can bring the piano by yourself."

"No, no need, Steinway is fine." Fu Tiao shook his head.

"Okay, I see. If this is the case, then we have placed the Steinway piano in the center of the stage for you. Just follow me."

After all, the two had arrived at the backstage entrance of the Essen Concert Hall.

Even though the door has not been opened yet, the darkness inside the door seems to have overflowed, making people feel a chill.

The staff member rummaged through his pocket, took out a key, opened the door of the house, and reached out to Fu Tiao.

"Mr. Fu Tiao, please go in, I'll adjust the light here."

"Ok."

After finishing speaking, he asked Fu Tiao to walk into the concert hall.

The concert hall was very dark, except for the stage lights behind him, there was no light source to be seen.

The endless darkness and complete silence made the room seem extraordinarily silent.

Standing in this concert hall, Fu Tiao seemed to be able to hear the beating of his own heart.

The light stretched behind him and stretched over the dark piano, bringing indescribable loneliness.

Fu Tiao just stayed on the edge of the light behind the door, turned his head to look behind him, and waited for the staff's next step.

click...

Huge lights suddenly appeared, and then fell from the sky, sprinkled in every corner of this concert hall.

First in the front row, then slowly walked to the back row, lighting up bit by bit, just like the brilliance of Fu Tiao falling on the world.

After all the lights on the first floor of the house emerged, the lights in the center of the stage were turned on, and shone on Fu Tiao's body from top to bottom, covering all the shadows around him and retracting them into his body without any darkness.

Only then did all the lights in the concert hall turn on, and the voices of the staff sounded from behind.

"Mr. Fu Tiao, you can start using your piano, and I will adjust the intensity of the light source a little bit."

"Ok."

Fu Tiao agreed softly, walked a few steps forward, and came to the piano.

He put his hand on the piano, gently touched the keyboard, and the crisp piano sound instantly sounded.

The sound of the piano rushed towards the distance like fleeing, but it didn't touch the echoing wall in the distance, it had already dissipated, and fell to the ground weakly, without giving Fu Tiao any response.

This is the feeling given to Fu Tiao by this concert hall. Of course, this is just a casual performance, just pressing a few notes at random, and it does not represent everything.

And the next time is for Fu Tiao to wrestle with this concert hall, gradually control the concert hall, and complete what he thinks is the most perfect time to control the concert hall.

With the lights off in the distance, the surrounding lights gradually dimming, and the lights on the stage getting hot, Fu Tiao sat in front of the piano, put his fingers on the piano, and prepared to play.

Just at this moment, a staff member in the distance suddenly came over and said to Fu Tiao.

"Mr. Fu Tiao, the lighting in the concert hall has been preset, and it will probably be the same for future performances. Do you have any other needs?"

"No, no..." Fu Tiao shook his head.

Seeing Fu Tiao like this, the staff could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and smiled at Fu Tiao.

"Okay, since there is no problem, then I will leave first. Our working hours are from twelve o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening. If you need to come early, you can tell us in advance, and we will send someone to come over You open the door, let you do advance practice, and if you don't need it, you can practice anytime during our working hours, no advance notice is required."

"After all... In the past few days, no one else is performing on our side except you. This concert hall is only prepared for you."

After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly to Fu Tiao, then turned and left.

Fu Tiao looked at his leaving back, didn't say anything, just narrowed his eyes a little, then focused his attention on the piano in front of him, and started to play experimentally.

I don't know how many powerful and terrifying players have met on this stage. Each of them has their own good parts and some parts they are not good at.

Now, I can finally stand on the same stage as this group of people and perform my own works together.

This feeling made Fu Tiao tremble all over, almost goosebumps.

He can't wait to take control of this territory and announce his existence to everyone.

He slowly raised his hands and pressed down hard.

boom!
The piano sounded.
Appearing under the sound of the piano is Fu Tiao's gradually boiling passion.

……

While Fu Tiao gradually took control of the concert hall, other places in the Ruhr area were preparing for other concerts.

It's not just a festival for a few people, or a festival for a few cities.

It's a music festival for the entire Ruhr area.

Not only piano works, but also many, many programs that bring music into the campus.

Some pianists who have nothing to do, with their works, teach the piano professional knowledge to kindergarten students, elementary school, junior high school and high school students in the Ruhr area.

There are also many, many street performances that are arranged in various corners of the Ruhr area as some easter eggs.

Except for those who go to work, most of the tourists and the students in the schools are all enjoying the shock brought by the Ruhr Music Festival.

What excited everyone the most was the three consecutive piano concerts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Pianist Jo Sung-jin from South Korea, who represents Paris, will interpret authentic French school works in Germany.

As for the contestant from the University of California, Hamelin, who represented the beautiful national fusion music school, played his work on the second day, confronting Zhao Chengzhen.

These two people are relatively familiar candidates, and their grievances and hatreds are very familiar to everyone.

Compared with Fu Diao, the results of these two people are actually closer, which is more in line with the definition of "Entering Dragons and Tigers Fighting" in everyone's minds.

There is not much difference between their scores in the Chopin International Piano Competition, especially at the end, the difference between the two scores is not that big.

In addition, on social media, Hamelin's provocation against Zhao Chengzhen made the game even more interesting, and it also aroused the audience's curiosity about the two.

Originally, Zhao Chengzhen didn't plan to respond, but he couldn't hold back Hamelin's strong request, so he agreed to his request for interaction, and the two sparred a few times on social media, which made the onlookers even more excited.

Originally, Hamelin wanted to bring Fu Tiao along. After all, it would be interesting for everyone to scold and fight together, but he was persuaded by Zhao Chengzhen.

"You and I have a chat, it's okay to stage a show on social media. After all, the difference in level and strength between the two of us is not that big. People can't tell the difference between the two of us, but if you want to talk to Fu Tiao , I think you'd better not do this..."

"Why?" Hamelin walked to Zhao Chengzhen's side, stretched out his hand to hook Zhao Chengzhen's shoulder and asked nonchalantly.

"Although the three of us did not come in through the same recommendation channel, we can all be regarded as born in the Chopin International Piano Competition. The interactive bickering between us will definitely arouse the emotions of the audience and make them even more crazy. Why not Let me and Fu confront each other? Why don't you explain it later? Fu probably won't blame me..."

Speaking of this, Hamelin raised his head and glanced around. After scanning around, he couldn't help but speak curiously.

"Hey, no, what about Fu? I remember he said before that he planned to come to our concert? Why did he disappear?"

"He probably won't come."

"I won't come? What do you mean? I don't understand. Didn't Fu just say he's coming? Why isn't he coming now?"

"Not so much why."

Zhao Chengzhen put away the cover of the mobile phone in her hand, looked at Hamelin who was beside her with an indifferent face, couldn't help but feel a little headache, and said helplessly to him.

"It's a very simple thing. Fu Diao is experimenting with a new venue. He intends to make his music move towards a god-level venue, so he is still working hard."

"Hahahahahaha, god-level scene? Fu is going to set up a god-level scene? Are you kidding me? Can a god-level scene be created casually? Doesn't this thing depend on luck? This is too Oh, hahahahahahahahahahahaha?"

When Hamelin heard Zhao Chengzhen's words, he burst into laughter immediately.

But soon, his laughter fell into silence, because he looked at Zhao Chengzhen with a very serious expression, as if he was not joking.

And it was this seriousness without joking that made Hamelin feel even more absurd, and he said to Zhao Chengzhen in disbelief.

"No, no, no, Zhao, you're kidding me, right? Are you kidding me?"

"Why should I be joking with you?" Zhao Chengzhen looked at Hamelin beside him in puzzlement, raised an eyebrow at him, and asked in puzzlement, "Don't you know Fu Tiao's grades?"

"Fu Tiao's grades? What grades? The champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition, a tour in several big cities in Europe, what else?"

"It seems you don't know."

Seeing Hamelin like this, Zhao Chengzhen couldn't help shaking her head, put away her phone, and said casually to him.

"He had been to Paris before and met me, probably around December last year, and I met him face to face."

"And then? I know that he went to Paris, and I probably know that you will definitely meet him, and then? Couldn't you have played against him on the piano? Played a simple battle?"

Hamelin said casually to Zhao Chengzhen.

It's just that Zhao Chengzhen looked at him with a strange expression. Although she didn't say anything, she nodded very seriously.

"No, you really played a game? With a piano? I guess... it can't be a street piano, right? You took Fu Tiao to play a street piano?"

"..."

Zhao Chengzhen still didn't speak, but the corners of Hamelin's mouth couldn't help twitching. After swallowing, he continued to guess at Zhao Chengzhen.

"Then, you lost? You lost to Fu Tiao, and you lost badly. Fu Tiao has made great progress?"

"..."

Zhao Chengzhen still didn't speak, but Hamelin felt that he had realized everything, and couldn't help rubbing his brain with a headache, and sighed.

"WTF, I seem to understand why you don't let me interact with Fu Tiao, because you haven't hit him more than six months ago, I understand now..."

"Absolutely, how far is the gap between you and me?" Zhao Chengzhen looked at Hamelin who seemed to have realized, and asked involuntarily, "Is the gap big?"

"It's not big, so I called you and asked you to interact with me on social media."

Hamelin sighed, and smiled helplessly at Zhao Chengzhen: "So, is there a big gap between you and Fu Tiao?"

Zhao Chengzhen stared at the stage, and couldn't help but whispered: "It's huge. The gap between me and him has been gradually widening six months ago. It has expanded to the point where I seem to be a little scared. Why is his level and strength increasing? So fast, and I'm so slow?"

"So..." Hamelin scratched his head, hesitant to say: "So he said he was sprinting to the god level scene, do you believe it?"

"Well, I believe it."

Zhao Chengzhen nodded, got up from her seat, smiled at Hamelin, and said casually.

"It's okay for you to chat with me normally. We are all the same. There is no difference between confrontation and confrontation, but you still don't provoke Fu Diao. If you go to talk to Fu Diao about this matter, he will definitely agree, and you won't blame him." What about you, but I feel that this provocation of yours will hit yourself more with boomerangs."

After that, he patted Hamelin on the shoulder, and walked to the backstage of the music.

As the lights went out, Zhao Chengzhen walked out from the stage, waved to the crowd, and announced his arrival.

And the following performances also proved that point.

As a representative of the French School of Music, his strength cannot be questioned by anyone.

He is the future light of the French School of Music!

Listening to Zhao Chengzhen's performance, Hamelin couldn't help being stunned, his expression changed from frivolous to serious.

After listening to it, he didn't continue to chat with Zhao Chengzhen about Fu Tiao, but turned around and went back to Mülheim to prepare for his performance that day, to see if he had anything to dig.

After Zhao Chengzhen's performance was over, he was highly praised by the media, who praised him as the most orthodox man who interpreted the French school of music in the world.

Almost boasted him as a flower.

There seems to be some traces of the activities of the French School of Music, but even if the media inclined to the French School is removed, Zhao Chengzhen's performance is not covered.

And wait until the next day, Hamelin's performance.

This time he finally got his wish and was able to confront Zhao Chengzhen head-on, and enjoy the status that Fu Tiao enjoyed back then.

The pressure surged up in an instant, and his concentration increased several times in an instant.

He also lived up to everyone's expectations of him, and perfectly achieved his goal, the goal of confronting Zhao Chengzhen.

And waited until the third day.

The real Sunday in Germany is a rest day, a day that everyone will choose to rest except for basic service facilities.

Stores are closed, playgrounds are closed, supermarkets are closed, schools are closed, everything is closed, and everyone is given a time to themselves.

The weather on this day was exceptionally sunny, so sunny that people wanted to sleep on the grass early.

Normally, the surroundings should be extraordinarily quiet, and you can hardly hear any noise.

only……

For Essen, today does not seem to be Sunday.

Although all the shops are closed, the road is full of vehicles, and it is completely impossible to see that today is a rest day.

Previously, Fu Tiao, Zhao Chengzhen, Hamelin and others were called Xiao Sai the Three Little Dragons, but now no one would think so.

I don't know when, everyone will choose to regard Zhao Chengzhen and Hamelin as the same level.

But for Fu Tiao, they unknowingly raised it to a higher level, and no longer regarded Fu Tiao as the same kind as Zhao Chengzhen and Hamelin.

It's a first-line pianist, a pianist who is qualified to hit the peak.

And listening to the speeches of unknown people, they said that Fu Tiao has been studying the structure of the concert hall for the past few days, and is preparing to hit the god-level scene.

This also made Fu Diao's tickets instantly popular.

This has also created the current situation of today's dense crowds driving to the Fu Tiao Concert Hall to listen to Fu Tiao's performances.

There are not many Chinese people among them, but more Europeans and various students.

They either took a taxi or drove by themselves to the vicinity of the Essen Concert Hall, and the Essen Concert Hall was surrounded by water.

For some reason, this situation is more dazzling and more splendid than the off-court performances of Lang Liangyue and Kissin before.

When Hamelin and Zhao Chengzhen brought Hamelin's two girlfriends around the concert hall, looking at the dense crowd, they even had a little bit of confusion for a while.

They didn't know that it was Fu Tiao who was holding a concert here at this moment.

Or someone they don't know who has reached the pinnacle of classical music.

Top pianist.

　Tomorrow morning before 10:2, I will get on the bus and go home at [-]:[-], and I should be able to finish writing in [-] hours.
