pianist from the sea

Chapter 282 I did it!

Fu Tiao, Onessorg, and Miller came to the backstage of the concert hall.

Miller and Fu Diao walked from the small door on the side to the side of the front desk of the concert hall, where someone had prepared their seats for them in advance so that they would not have no place to sit. .

There were not many acquaintances sitting around, but everyone seemed particularly excited that Fu Diao could be by their side. From time to time, someone would pat Fu Diao on the shoulder or back, asking for a handshake or encouragement.

As for Onesog, he went from backstage to the stage.

The spotlight above his head shone directly on him, making him particularly dazzling.

Everyone in the concert hall also gave their applause at this time, thanking Honesog for everything he has done for the Ruhr Piano Festival, and looking forward to the explanation at the closing ceremony of the festival.

Under the gaze and applause of everyone, Onesog smiled at everyone, picked up the paper in his hand and said with a smile.

"We meet again, everyone here, I think many of you may be a little tired of me, right? I always start the opening of every concert, but this time, I think you are tired of me. , there is no way for me to get out, because... I am going to announce the position of this year's Rookie of the Year!"

There was a burst of laughter under the stage, but everyone's mood was different.

The vast majority of passers-by only treat Onesog as a joke. After all, they have no idea who the best player is this year.

But those who had known the inside story for a long time, those who were more inclined to Acadi, smiled helplessly.

Arkadi's defeat is also a blow to them.

The supporters of Fu Tiao are full of expectations.

Waiting for Fu Tiao's name to be pronounced.

Under the gaze of everyone with different emotions, Onesog did not keep everyone interested in not telling who the best player of the year was. On the contrary, he said it very readily.

He opened the letter in his hand and spoke to everyone.

"In 2016, the award for the best newcomer of the year at the Ruhr Piano Festival will be given to..."

"Dior Fu!"

Whoa!
Applause roared instantly. Amidst the applause of the crowd, Fu Tiao stood up and bowed slightly to the people around him. The smile on his face could not be suppressed at all.

The people around him also pulled Fu Diao and extended their most sincere blessings.

"Dior! Awesome!"

"That's great, Fu, congratulations!"

"Fu, I've known for a long time that you will definitely win the championship this year!"

"The Ruhr Piano Festival award is really shocking, Fu!"

"Fu! Fu! Fu!"

"..."

Dense voices echoed around Fu Diao, making it difficult for Fu Diao to hear what everyone was talking about.

He could only bow slightly to everyone helplessly, thanked everyone for their support, and returned to his position amidst everyone's applause.

Onesog looked at Fu Diao off the stage, raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled helplessly at everyone, and asked.

"Um... you've finished applauding, can I continue?"

With the laughter of everyone, he shook his head, picked up the document in his hand and continued: "Every year, the Ruhr Piano Festival honors artists whose life works are closely related to the Ruhr Piano Festival, and then invites the scholarship winners to participate in the second round of the Ruhr Piano Festival." His or her recital will be held every year. Through this year's evaluation, we will award Dior Fu as this year's Best Newcomer of the Year. This is the first time we welcome him, but I believe it will not be the last time we welcome him.

For all of us, Fu's first appearance was the most novel and shocking experience of classical music. He showed us all his understanding and thinking of classical music, which is representative of young people. The way of thinking is also the thinking logic that represents the future direction of classical music. This is a direction that all of us classical music performers are worth thinking about.

That is... what exactly is classical music, and what direction should the future of classical music develop in.

Thanks to Dior Fu for giving us such a perfect opportunity to rethink our music. Dior being able to give us such an opportunity is not only an honor for him, but also an honor for all of us classical music practitioners! "

Whoa!
The applause rang out again, and Fu Diao stood up helplessly and thanked Onesog and others for their compliments again.

Under the applause, Onesog coughed twice, and after letting the applause subside for a moment, he continued to the crowd.

"With such performances, Dior Fu was not satisfied with his own personal improvement, but set his sights as a classical musician on the world. We are particularly grateful to Dior Fu for sharing with us An initiative in which the Dortmund Concertgebouw collaborates to stage charity concerts to benefit children in war-torn areas around the world.

This is a perfect initiative. We can see that even the younger generation of classical musicians are not indifferent performers. In fact, they are more like artists who are concerned about the world and contribute to the world. People think.

I am even willing to say that under my eyes, Dior is a pure person, a noble person, a person who has long been out of vulgar taste, just like his music, as broad as the sea, I would like to call him the ocean pianist!A true top performer!
He has always opened his heart to our era and cared about everything in this era. We are very grateful to him for his many premieres in Germany and even throughout Europe, including this year's European tour and the premiere of the Chopin International Piano Competition in Poland. This is a An unparalleled experience. Even people who don't know Dior Fu can still hear his thoughts on life, life and death, and nature from Fu's music.

Therefore, given that we experienced so many wonderful musical moments during the year, given his loyalty to the Ruhr Piano Festival, and given his friendship with the Ruhr Piano Festival, in July 2016 we awarded him the Ruhr Piano Festival Piano Festival Prize, given to Franz Havel by Onesorg, who is me. "

After Onesog took a deep breath, he looked at Dio who was staring at him off the stage. With a smile on his face, he took two steps forward and extended his hand.

"Dio, come up."

"Thank you."

Fu Tiao stood up and walked out of the small staircase on the side to the cheers of the crowd and walked onto the stage.

The lights on the stage were still very bright, even shining a hint of piano black reflection on his dark suit.

What this reflection showed on Fu Tiao's body was the kind of holy light that was like God.

Fu Tiao makes him shine!

Facing the continuous applause, Fu Diao's face looked a little red because he was shy or because he was illuminated by the spotlight above his head.

He took the microphone handed over by Onesog, nodded to everyone in a somewhat honest manner, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you very much, thank you to the Ruhr Piano Festival Organizing Committee, and..."

"Don't thank me in a hurry. I'll thank you later after I give you the trophy from the Ruhr Piano Festival."

Fu Diao's words were suddenly interrupted. Onesog pushed out a small cart from the side. On the cart stood a black rectangular pillar, about 1.2 meters high.

Including the cart below, the height is almost 1.4 meters.

On this 1.4-meter pillar, there is a shining golden trophy.

A trophy that represents the logo of the Ruhr Piano Festival.

Onesog pushed the car in front of Fu Diao, stretched out his foot and stepped on the fixed lock, stepped back a few steps, and extended his hand to Fu Diao.

"Okay, it's ready now, Fu, take your trophy, and then say your victory declaration."

"I……"

Fu Tiao glanced at the smiling Onesog next to him, smiled helplessly, took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed the Ruhr Piano Festival trophy.

With a display stand of nearly 1.4 meters, Fu Tiao could reach the handle of the Ruhr Piano Festival trophy with just a little stretch of his hand.

He grabbed the trophy and lifted it slightly, and a heavy feeling surged from his palms.

Just as he thought, this trophy is not light, but very weighty.

On top is the logo of the Ruhr Piano Festival, and on the bottom base is the name of Fu Tiao.

Although it is only about 20 centimeters in length, it does not seem to be long, but the weight is not small.

In Fu Diao's hands, he weighed it and felt it weighed about 3 kilograms. "How do you feel, Fu? How do you feel when you touch the trophy of the Ruhr Piano Festival for the first time?"

Fu Diao weighed the trophy in his hand, looked at Onesog not far away, couldn't help laughing, straightened up and said to him.

"Not bad, very substantial, quite heavy."

Laughter suddenly erupted from the stage.

Onesog laughed, too.

"Haha, very heavy, this word is good, this seems to be the first time I heard a pianist say this word, I remember what those people said before, feeling the feeling of history, and glory, or something else Vocabulary, and bluntly said that this trophy is heavy, you are the first time I have seen it."

Onesog took two steps back, retreated to the edge of the stage, and waved to Fu Tiao.

"Okay, Fu, now the stage has been completely handed over to you. You can say whatever you want next. Even if the trophy may have been touched and dirty, it's okay. After all, this award completely belongs to you. "

"Ok."

Fu Tiao grinned, weighed the trophy in his hand again, looked at the crowd off the stage, and didn't speak immediately.

He just looked at the audience seriously.

The lights on the stage were very strong, making it difficult for him to see everything around him, but he could recognize from the outlines of the group of people who was standing under the stage at this moment.

Lang Liangyue came, and he brought his assistant Gina Alice with him.

Not far from Lang Liangyue, there is Kissin.

Behind Kissing, if I read correctly, there should be Argerich and Barenboim.

The person sitting next to the two of them was none other than Arkadi Vallodos, who seemed to be chatting with Argerich.

There were many, many other people, and it can even be said that almost all the famous figures from the German-Austrian circle and the Ruhr Piano Festival circle came.

They were all looking at themselves, waiting for their words.

Fu Tiao felt a little dry in his mouth for some reason. He couldn't help but licked his lips and spoke slowly.

"Okay, let's thank you first. Thank you for the list that I haven't finished thanking just now."

After hearing Fu Diao's words, everyone laughed again, and Fu Diao also laughed twice with them, and then his expression gradually became serious.

His sight seemed to pass through this concert hall, seeing the world beyond, even the future, and the past.

There was a hint of exploration and thinking in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking, but everyone knew that his emotions were becoming fuller.

Because, Fu Tiao spoke.

"Yes, if I really want to thank you, I should actually thank three people more than those on the organizing committee.

Not my parents, not my teachers, not the stranger who handed me an umbrella on a rainy day, or the old lady who ran away from home when I was a child and gave me a bowl of wontons, but... Lang Liangyue, Kissin , and Arkady. "

The scene was quiet. Although everyone was a little surprised why Fu Tiao said this, no one said anything, just waiting for Fu Tiao's explanation.

Lang Liangyue felt a little restless, always feeling that Fu Tiao would suddenly cue him.

Kissin looked confused and had no idea why Fu Tiao thanked him.

As for Arkadi, he just smiled and explained something in a low voice to the curious Argerich beside him.

Under the different reactions of everyone, Fu Tiao continued.

"Thanks to Arkadi Vallodos, he showed me how classical music should be played at the highest level. During his performance, I knew for the first time that classical music when it reaches its extreme will be a What kind of scenery also pointed out the direction for me to move forward in the future. I deeply realized that classical music should be played like this. This is something I have never heard after listening to other people’s music. Thank you Akadi ·Varodos!
You also deserve the title of Best Newcomer at this year's Ruhr Piano Festival. This should be an honor that I share with you, not just me. I want to give it to Arkady Vallodos. My sincerest thanks. "

As the applause rang out, Arkady stood up, waved to everyone, and then sat down.

After waiting for the applause to stop, Fu Diao continued.

"The next thing I need to thank is Kissin, Mr. Yevgeny Kissin, thank you for your performance. Although you did not succeed in performing a performance close to Arkadi, you also pointed the direction for me. With your playing and music, I understand what kind of efforts I need to make if I want to reach the level of Mr. Vallodos’ playing. Thank you very much.”

Fu Diao bowed again to thank him. Although Kissin was not very familiar with Fu Diao, and there was no communication between them at all, he still stood up, clasped his hands and bowed slightly to Fu Diao, accepting Fu Diao's thanks.

Just after Kissin sat down, Fu Tiao sighed, looked at Lang Liangyue, who was sitting in front, slightly restless, and said helplessly.

"Finally, I would like to thank some Lang Liangyue, really, thank you very much."

"..."

Lang Liangyue stood up, scratched his head a little helplessly, and complained: "Everyone else is talking about long speeches, but when you come to my side, you don't say anything at all, right? Just a simple thank you and that's it."

Both of them spoke in English, so others could hear Lang Liangyue's complaints after he stood up, which immediately aroused everyone's laughter.

Fu Tiao looked at Lang Liangyue, slightly spread his hands and shrugged, and then spoke after everyone's laughter disappeared.

"Actually, not really. Lang Liangyue also gave me a lot of help, helping me analyze Arkadi's performance and Kissin's performance. If it weren't for Lang Liangyue's help, I might just know how to develop, but not There is no way I can complete my performance at this music festival at such a fast speed, although..."

"Although what? This is the closing ceremony of the concert. Be careful what you say, don't go too far." Lang Liangyue interrupted quickly when he mentioned it.

Fu Diao, on the other hand, chuckled and did not continue, but just passed it on slightly.

"Hehe, although there was a little accident, it also had a lot of positive effects on me. Anyway, I still have to thank Lang Liangyue for his help. I can definitely say that without these three people, There is no way my concert could be so successful!"

After that, Fu Tiao walked down the stage with the trophy in his hand, walked up to Lang Liangyue, and opened his hands.

Lang Liangyue looked at Fu Tiao, hesitated slightly, then grinned, hugged Fu Tiao vigorously, then patted Fu Tiao on the back and whispered.

"Congratulations, Fu Tiao. Also, you kid, you scared me to death. I really thought you were going to attack me in person!"

"of course not."

Fu Tiao also smiled and whispered to Lang Liangyue: "I still know this, although I am still a little dissatisfied with your performance, but I still want to say thank you to you, if not for your encouragement... I Maybe I don’t have the energy to perform this god-level performance at all.”

"Incentive? Tsk tsk, that's a good word."

Lang Liangyue inexplicably felt the breadth and depth of Chinese cultural words.

Although he obviously disappointed Fu Tiao with his unsatisfactory performance, Fu Tiao played a godlike performance in anger and told him what music is, what professional ethics is, and what Chopin is.

The result became an encouragement in Fu Diao's words, and it didn't seem to be that negative.

I don't know why, but listening to Fu Tiao's words, Lang Liangyue felt a little bit of guilt inexplicably, as if he owed Fu Tiao something.

But before he could remember it, Fu Tiao released the hand that hugged him and returned to the stage.

He looked at the trophy in his hand, gradually tightened his fingers, and finally raised it fiercely, facing everyone like he was holding a crown.

The light shines on the trophy, making it as hard to look at as the sun.

Fu Tiao is the sun god who controls the sun.

Under the dazzling light, Fu Tiao said solemnly to the crowd.

"I did it!"

There was silence, then thunderous applause.

It announced that after this performance, Fu Tiao officially became a member of the top pianists!
