The world's number one pianist

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the alarm on He Shen's cell phone suddenly rang.

He Shen put all the items in his hand aside without any hesitation and put them in a small cabinet.

Then he nodded slightly to Dan Yi who was sitting on the side.

"Teacher Dan, time is up!"

"Well, let's go!"

Dan Yi stood up, and He Shen immediately reached out to pick up the performance clothes hanging on the side and put them on.

Pushing open the door, he slowly stepped out of the piano room and walked towards the concert hall.

Everyone knows that the opening ceremony of the Chopin International Piano Competition will officially begin tonight!

So that means...

Today, the Chopin International Piano Competition will officially enter the fighting stage.

The previous preliminaries, the video selection before the preliminaries...

It is possible that some people will hide their shortcomings a little, just to keep a very basic qualification to qualify, so that others can't see their true level!

But now, no one will hide their shortcomings, they must show all their strength and strive for a higher score.

Because at this time, no one can guarantee that if they continue to hide their skills like this, they will not be eliminated directly.

More than 80 of the world's top players gathered here to play in front of everyone and show their strongest strength!

There is no chance to hide their skills at all!

He Shen walked slowly towards the concert hall along the road from the piano room.

At this moment, on the surrounding roads, it can be clearly seen that the crowd is walking towards the Warsaw Chopin Philharmonic Hall in a converging posture. These people are all heading for the Chopin International Piano Competition!

He Shen did not look at this group of people, but looked around him, looking at this city marked by Chopin!

Around everyone, in the entire city, Chopin culture is everywhere!

In addition to whether there are Chopin's portraits on the roadside, there are also Chopin performances of those masters playing constantly at the bus stop as background music.

He Shen even saw QR codes on the chairs on the roadside.

Dan Yi scanned it with interest and found that it was actually a music website. Click it and you can see a collection of Chopin's works. You can listen to any of Chopin's works at will.

At this moment, Warsaw has officially awakened.

From an ordinary city that sells Chopin...

Gradually became...

The city of Chopin!

When He Shen walked to the Warsaw Chopin Philharmonic Hall, He Shen suddenly found that the people here were already overcrowded.

Countless music lovers gathered around the concert hall, looking curiously at the entrance of the concert hall.

At this moment, it was time for all performers to enter.

In order to increase the overall popularity of the competition, the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee allowed all contestants to enter at around 4 o'clock.

And all the audience began to enter at 6 o'clock.

The two hours were not to give these contestants a space to enter.

Instead, they let these contestants leave a particularly good impression in front of all the audiences and lay a better foundation for their future music career.

Let some, even the contestants who failed in advance have a little chance to stand out in front of everyone.

But unfortunately...

He Shen stood in the distance and just took a casual look. The contestants who could really be cheered by the crowd were basically all those particularly popular contestants, and there were few ordinary contestants.

Even if those ordinary contestants wanted to show a little bit of their personal style in front of everyone, they were basically not accepted by the audience.

Therefore, those contestants could only lower their heads and follow the crowd into the concert hall.

He Shen took a rough look around and found that there were a lot of Chinese people around, a little more than people in other places.

He Shen thought about it, got a little closer, and really heard the discussion of those people.

"Have you seen it? There are so many Chinese people who entered the Chopin International Piano Competition this year!"

"That's right. There were only a few people before. I didn't expect so many people today. It's really rare to see such a thing!"

"From the oldest Mr. Fu who won the fifth place in the Chopin International Piano Competition, to Li Diyun who won the first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition, maybe we can win a championship this year!"

"Yes, there are so many players who successfully entered the Chopin International Piano Competition this year! Especially from the preliminaries to the main competition!"

"After screening more than 160 people, 80 people were eliminated. The number of Chinese people has only dropped from more than 30 to more than 20, which is a terrifying number! "

"Anyway, I think the chances of winning the Chopin International Piano Competition this year are really great!"

"Although I can't give these big guys a little help in terms of strength, I can only support them spiritually..."

"China is mighty! China is the best in the world!"

"..."

Because so many contestants like He Shen and others have come to the finals from the preliminaries of the Chopin International Piano Competition, all the international students from all over Europe have come to Poland to give He Shen and others some support.

Although this support may not be much...

But! This is the greatest support they can give!

Support for the rise of the entire China!

Support He Shen and others, and wish them the best to win the championship of the Chopin International Piano Competition!

This is the greatest strength they can do!

He Shen looked at the audience who came here for the Chinese players like them. He didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, he just pursed his lips and sighed.

Danyi stood beside He Shen and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw He Shen like this.

"What's wrong? Feeling stressed?"

"Well, a little bit..."

He Shen nodded honestly.

Dan Yi didn't have any surprises. He pointed at the Chinese people around him who were looking at the contestants' tunnel with great excitement and sighed softly.

"It's normal to feel pressure, but don't put too much pressure on yourself!"

"After all, you are not the only one who successfully entered the Chopin International Piano Competition this year, there are others. Others can also keep moving forward and move towards the championship of the Chopin International Piano Competition!"

He Shen couldn't help but look at Danyi in surprise when he heard this place.

In the past, Danyi had always put a little pressure on him. Unexpectedly, Danyi would not put any pressure on himself this year?

but……

He Shen thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said slowly.

"Although, you don't have to count on me to win the championship, but..."

"I still have to win the championship! Prove to some people that I am a real pianist!"

After that, He Shen didn't wait for Danyi's reply, straightened his clothes a little, and walked towards the contestants' passage in the crowd.

Although, he felt a little bit of pressure, facing the pressure of this group of overseas Chinese who were looking forward to him.

But this little pressure is not proportional to the pressure he puts on himself.

Therefore, He Shen didn't even look at the people around him. He just walked to the middle of the crowd very calmly and walked toward the inside of the concert hall.

The people around them felt a little bored watching these players.

There is no one who is particularly experienced and can represent the top performers of the entire country.

But now, they suddenly discovered that an incredible person appeared.

China, how deep it is!

In China, in the qualifiers, there is a Chinese with the strongest level!

Although most foreigners don’t have much impression of players from Asia.

But they still remember these top players!

For example, the Asian man with pigtails is called Tanda Kyohei.

The Asian girl who is a little bit bigger and looks very petite overall is called Kobayashi Aimi.

And the man in front of him, with Chopin's hairstyle and his body full of Chopin's aura, is He Shen!

Of course, in their words, it should actually be called Shen He...

But no matter what, they can clearly distinguish the most powerful people in the Asian Division!

And He Shen happens to be one of them.

Therefore, when He Shen just stepped in front of everyone, the surrounding people cheered instantly!

"How deep! How deep!"

"He Shen, come on! Great!"

"He Shen, champion!"

"He Shen! Invincible, great!"

"..."

They were all very simple English words. Everyone considered that He Shen might be a foreigner and his English was relatively average, so they only used some simple English words.

In this way, even if He Shen didn't understand what they were saying, he could roughly understand what they meant.

What is different from these foreigners are the Chinese people around them.

The moment they saw He Shen approaching, they almost went crazy and kept shouting loudly.

"Holy shit, shit? He Shen! He's alive! He Shen is still alive!"

"Fuck! This He Shen can move! F*ck, F*ck! This is a He Shen who can move!"

"Good guy, finally it's not He Shen who can't move at all like those in the pictures, but He Shen who can really move, good guy!"

"Whoa, whoa, He Shen! Come on! Don't lose to those foreigners!"

"Great God He Shen! March forward with the glory of China!"

"God He Shen! You are the hope of China! You must win!"

"China is invincible!"

"..."

He Shen's progress paused slightly, and he looked at the dense crowd around him. Looking at these people, he smiled softly, nodded slightly to everyone, and said calmly.

"good……"

After that, He Shen ignored the cheers of the people behind him and walked towards the concert hall.

Dan Yi looked at the cheers of the crowd, chuckled, shook his head, and followed He Shen swaying towards the concert hall with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, somewhere outside the concert hall, Ji Mengting was looking at He Shen with shining eyes.

Especially when she heard He Shen's faint "Okay", she became excited.

"Sure enough, this is Teacher He! Teacher He who looks like he doesn't care about anything, but actually cares about everyone in his heart!"

"Ahh! Teacher He is really, so handsome!"

"Especially this last one! Ahhhhh!"

Ji Mengting looked at He Shen's look and wished she could catch up directly to meet He Shen and give him a surprise!

But she still wanted to give He Shen a surprise at the end.

After all, she only told her parents about coming here, and she didn't tell anyone else.

Just when she was obsessed with it, a little head beside her suddenly nodded vigorously, making an extremely crisp sound, agreeing.

"That's right! Teacher He is so handsome! But I think the most handsome thing is Teacher He's temperament, the temperament of not taking anything to heart, which is exactly the temperament of the pianist in my dreams!"

"Right, right, Teacher He's temperament is really amazing!"

Ji Mengting felt that she was alone in a foreign country, and she didn't need to be as dignified as she was in China. She looked at the door of the concert hall where He Shen entered with a little obsession, and whispered.

"To be honest, being able to learn piano with Teacher He Shen is really the most correct decision I have made in my life!"

"That's right! Being able to learn piano with Teacher He Shen is really the most correct decision I have made in my life!" The little head beside her also nodded.

Ji Mengting didn't react, but when she heard someone agree with her, she nodded immediately.

"Is that right? You are also like this..."

"?"

As she was talking, Ji Mengting felt something was wrong.

It was okay to follow her and agree with other things, but would it be appropriate for her to follow her and become He Shen's student?

Ji Mengting looked around.

With just a glance, she found that there was a familiar person beside her...

No, it shouldn't be called familiar, it should be just, acquaintance?

Zhao Zitong was looking at her with a smile on her face. Seeing that she had reacted, she immediately waved and smiled.

"Hey, Junior Sister Ji Mengting, good afternoon~"

"Good afternoon... Uh, Junior Sister?"

Ji Mengting subconsciously followed Zhao Zitong to say hello, and only realized after she finished that Zhao Zitong was talking about Junior Sister. She couldn't help but frowned angrily and whispered.

"I'm a senior! I entered school a year earlier than you!"

"Huh! But I started learning piano with Mr. He Shenhe earlier than you! I'm a senior!"

"But, but!"

Ji Mengting thought about it, glanced at Zhao Zitong, then glanced at herself, and instantly understood, and said in a straight voice.

"But, I'm older than you!"

"You're older than me? Which one is older?"

"Of course it's age, what do you think? I entered school earlier than you!"

"Huh? You're talking about age, I thought..."

Zhao Zitong was about to refute, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Ji Mengting, then glanced at herself...

She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a while, and couldn't help but fall into silence.

It seems, um...

It seems that no matter what, she is older than her?

Ji Mengting felt that she seemed to have regained her ground and made Zhao Zitong speechless, and immediately raised her chest with great pride.

She didn't expect that she would be speechless just because she said she was older than Zhao Zitong.

She had prepared a lot of tricks, but none of them worked!

Therefore, Ji Mengting couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

However, she quickly put this matter behind her, looking at Zhao Zitong who was a little disappointed, and asked with a little doubt.

"Hey, by the way, Zhao Zitong, why are you here too?"

Zhao Zitong said unhappily: "Me? I heard that Teacher He Shen was coming to compete, so I came, it's that simple, aren't you?"

"I...seem to be too?"

Ji Mengting tilted her head, feeling as if she had said something nonsense.

The two people could stand in this place, so they must be the same, basically they came here quietly without telling Teacher He.

Therefore, Ji Mengting nodded, glanced at the people around who were still celebrating, and couldn't help but speak.

"Well, sorry, I just spoke without thinking..."

"But then again, I haven't been to school recently. I've been studying with Teacher He Shen at Haicheng Conservatory of Music. What about you? Aren't you Teacher He's student? Did you pass the exam? If you pass the exam, then you'll be my junior schoolmate!"

"?"

Zhao Zitong's smile suddenly froze. Looking at Ji Mengting's blank expression, she seemed to have no idea what was going on. She couldn't help but open her mouth. After thinking for a moment, she slowly shook her head.

"No, no, I didn't pass the Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music..."

"Huh? Why? I remember that you seem to play the piano very well. I've seen it before. It's definitely not that bad! It's impossible that you can't pass the Jiangzhou Normal University? Do you think you don't want to continue studying with Teacher He Shen?" Ji Mengting was puzzled.

"I want to be He Shen's student, but..."

Zhao Zitong lowered her head and was silent for a long time. Then she slowly raised her head, smiled at Ji Mengting, and shook her head.

"But Mr. He Shen suggested that I go abroad to find other teachers first, saying that this would help me improve faster!"

"So, I followed Mr. He Shen's advice and now I'm studying at UdK, Universtitaet des Kunst Berlin, which is the Berlin University of the Arts."

"But, I just contacted the piano teacher in UdK and am ready to study professionally. I'm just starting to learn the language, and I only know a little bit of the simplest, such as... Ich Liebe Dich?"

"Oh..." Ji Mengting nodded. Although she didn't understand, she felt very powerful: "But why do you need to learn the language specifically?"

Zhao Zitong looked helpless: "Because if you want to take the UdK exam, you basically need to have a language score of B2. Only with this level can you be eligible to register. Otherwise, there is no way to register!"

"But it is said that you can sign up with a B1 certificate, and then promise the other party that they will submit a language score report to him six months after enrolling, otherwise, he will be forced to drop out of school or something!"

Zhao Zitong looked at the dense crowd around her, stretched a little, revealing her perfect figure, and smiled at Ji Mengting.

"However, I still completed my studies in China and took the admission test for many music conservatories. I got the second place in the piano department of Haicheng Conservatory of Music, the first place in the piano department of Huaguo Conservatory of Music, and the first place in the piano department of Wuzhou Conservatory of Music. The department ranks first, not to mention some other universities..."

"I was actually a little over the top when I took these exams. I felt like..."

Zhao Zitong said this place and suddenly stopped.

She realized that she couldn't talk about this anymore. If she continued talking, the information that she was rejected by He Shen would be exposed to Ji Mengting.

Therefore, Zhao Zitong immediately slapped Ji Mengting and waved his hands.

"But, at that time, it was mainly for fun and to train my mentality. Now I come to the Kingdom of Will and compete with the top players in the world to see how good I am!"

"After all, tuition fees here in the Kingdom of Will are free. In addition, the Kingdom of Will is the birthplace of the musical instrument, so there are quite a few students from all over the world who come to take the exam."

"That's probably the case~"

After saying that, Ji Mengting nodded thoughtfully.

Although she felt that Zhao Zitong might be hiding something, these things basically had nothing to do with the overall situation.

Ji Mengting didn't think much, she patted Zhao Zitong on the shoulder, smiled and encouraged her.

"Well, come on! I hope you can develop very well as Teacher He Shen said!"

"Hehe, of course! Who am I? I am Zhao Zitong, the first student of Teacher He Shen!"

Zhao Zitong puffed up her chest proudly.

But soon, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ji Mengting standing aside. She immediately involuntarily retracted her raised breasts, pretending as if nothing had happened.

While the two were chatting, the crowd began to gather.

The time has gone from around four o'clock to six o'clock sharp.

The gate of the Chopin International Piano Competition began to let people in, allowing everyone to enter this place and watch the competition.

Ji Mengting looked at the crowd rushing towards the concert hall. Without thinking much, she directly took Zhao Zitong's hand, squeezed in extremely anxiously, and whispered.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry in, the game is about to begin! If you don't go, it will be too late!"

"But……"

Zhao Zitong was about to say that they had tickets, but in the end he shook his head and gave up trying to stop Ji Mengting. He could only follow her and began to squeeze crazily into the concert hall.

Naturally, He Shen did not know that his students, the two most powerful students, had all arrived at the scene to observe the Chopin International Piano Competition.

He was now just at the backstage of the concert hall.

Here, all 80 pianists who have successfully entered the Chopin International Piano Competition stay in this place, waiting for the draw.

Today, the first round of competition will start directly from about seven o'clock.

The players on the first day of the first round will also be selected from this group.

He Shen looked at all the people around him. There were many Chinese faces among these people.

When these people saw themselves, they all smiled gently and nodded slightly to express their goodwill.

People from other countries rarely looked at him.

Except for a few top bosses who were looking around like him, everyone else looked very nervous and looked forward to their next round.

clatter……

clatter……

clatter……

Very crisp footsteps came to everyone along the corridors of the player preparation room and lounge.

Except for He Shen, Tan Tian, ​​and some of the most powerful top players who did not look away, everyone else turned their gaze to the staff member who came over thinking of them.

A very professionally dressed woman.

She brought a huge box and handed it to everyone. She smiled at everyone and spoke to everyone in four or five languages.

"Come on, let's start drawing lots now and choose the date of your appearance and the order!"

"And the most important thing is to choose the player among you who will appear in the opening ceremony today!"
