The world's number one pianist

As He Shen finished choosing his piano, all the others also chose their pianos. After checking with the staff standing at the door three times, they left.

He Shen returned to the hotel where he was staying and did not continue to practice the piano.

At this time, no matter how much he practiced, the effect of practice was not great, and it was basically like that.

It was difficult to increase his strength.

Therefore, He Shen just split a little bit of music every day to keep himself sensitive to music.

Special training, from the original more than ten hours, became a run every day to ensure that his condition would not deteriorate.

From the time he chose the piano to the time he went on stage, He Shen did not even go to the Chopin Concert Hall in Warsaw to take a look.

After all, looking at these things would not increase his competitiveness at all, and would only make him nervous.

However...

While practicing the piano, He Shen heard many foreigners around him, not knowing whether they were contestants or staff.

They were all discussing the contestants from the previous few days, and the contestants with more competitive strength.

Kobayashi Aishi from Japan is worthy of being the finalist of the last session. She is very strong. She may have seemed a little childish before, but now she has become very mature.

Like Kobayashi Aishi, Fan Tian Kyohei from Japan also showed his unique playing feeling in the preliminary round.

That sweet feeling like candied fruit!

Let this sweetness wrap everything else around, let the sadness and unspeakable grief in Chopin's music all be wrapped in this sweetness.

There are some other contestants, He Shen didn't pay much attention to them, so he didn't listen more carefully.

In short, those contestants who performed well in the preliminaries still performed very well in this round.

Before, everyone thought that the contestants who had hidden tricks in the preliminaries performed mediocrely in the main competition and did not become more outstanding.

He Shen didn't have any other opinions on this. No matter how these people played, it didn't have much to do with him.

Soon, the time came to 7 o'clock in the afternoon of the 13th...

He Shen was in the piano room, and after moving his hands a little, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Dan Yi, who was sitting on the side, looked at He Shen and asked lightly.

"How is it? Have your fingers been moved?"

"Hmm..."

He Shen nodded, got up from the piano stool, went to the side, put on his performance clothes, and specially picked up the hand towel that Ji Mengting and the two unlucky children had given him before, and put it in his pocket.

"It's already moved, and there should be no problem with the next performance."

"That's good..." Dan Yi looked at He Shen, rummaged in his pocket, and took out a hand warmer and handed it to He Shen.

"Although it is not particularly recommended to use hot water, hand warmers, etc. before the competition, using these things may relax the muscles of your hands, but if you are too nervous, you might as well use them."

"Okay."

He Shen nodded, reached out to take the hand warmer in Dan Yi's hand, and put it together with the hand towel that Ji Mengting gave him, and put it in the small pocket inside the performance clothes.

That is, a pocket at the chest position.

After He Shen put the two things in his pocket, he nodded slightly to Dan Yi, looked at the door of the piano room, and gestured.

"Let's go?"

"Let's go."

Dan Yi followed behind He Shen, with his hands behind his back, and followed him slowly towards the concert hall.

This time, the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee did not organize the same format as the opening ceremony on the first day to let these contestants show themselves in front of those outsiders.

Therefore, outside the concert hall, except for some people who booked tickets for the evening, there were no other people.

The prosperity of the opening ceremony of the Chopin International Piano Competition before was like a passing cloud, leaving no trace at all.

He Shen stood in the distance, looking at the slightly calm concert hall, with no change on his face.

This situation is actually very normal. Even if it were someone else, they would probably choose this way.

At the opening ceremony of the Chopin International Piano Competition, the performers who appeared were basically all champions of the Chopin International Piano Competition in the past, and some runners-up.

That is to say, at the opening ceremony, basically all the performers are masters!

However, now that the competition has begun, if it is changed to the Olympic Games, this is actually a very, very ordinary preliminary round.

Although the competition is very exciting, for those people, no matter how exciting it is, it is definitely not as exciting as the finals.

Therefore, except for those fans who particularly like a certain contestant, not many people will choose to compete at this time.

Not to mention, this competition lasted until the early morning...

He Shen glanced around and did not stay at the door for long. He walked directly into the concert hall, handed his ID to the staff standing at the door, and nodded slightly to them.

"Huaguo, He Shen."

The staff took He Shen's ID, took a quick look, and confirmed that there was no problem, then nodded slightly and bowed.

"Okay, the contestant channel is here, please follow me!"

After saying that, he stood up, stretched out his hand to He Shen, and pointed to another door, a door leading to the contestants' passage.

When He Shen was about to enter the door following the staff, he suddenly felt something and turned back sharply.

But Yi still stood there, with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile.

When Dan Yi saw He Shen turning his head, he nodded gently to He Shen and mouthed.

"come on!"

"..."

He Shen looked at Dan Yi but did not answer. After a while, he bowed to Dan Yi with great force.

Just bowing, He Shen did not speak, and without waiting for Dan Yi to say anything, he turned around and followed the staff towards the contestants' backstage.

There wasn't much dialogue between him and Danyi, just a very simple glance.

This is the tacit understanding they have developed through continuous learning for so long.

This tacit understanding between the two of them has become stronger and stronger.

It can even be said that between He Shen and Dan Yi, there was no need to use words at all during class. He Shen could probably understand Dan Yi's thoughts with just a tap on the table.

This is the tacit understanding between them!

He Shen followed the staff and slowly came to the backstage.

The staff just sent him to the backstage, came down from the living room, opened the door, bowed slightly to He Shen, and said.

"This is the deepest point I can enter. The staff inside will lead you along the way. If you have any questions, you can ask the staff inside."

After saying that, he lowered his head slightly and remained silent.

He Shen glanced at the staff, walked directly into the gate without saying anything.

When the staff inside the gate saw He Shen coming in, they immediately took a few steps forward and guided He Shen to the players' backstage lounge.

The backstage lounge for the contestants at the Chopin International Piano Competition is different from that in China.

There are only two backstage lounges for the contestants of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

A room where everyone can stay and have a good rest.

In another room, let the contestant who is about to take the stage next go to that place to rest for a while and let him be alone.

The overall order is probably that the first contestant goes on stage, the second contestant rests in a separate lounge, and the others wait in the common lounge.

He Shen had just walked into the backstage of the concert hall, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

At this moment, there are not only players in the backstage, but also many, many... cameras and photographers?

There are all kinds of lenses, and even that kind of radio microphone, just like when I shot GG before, it looks extremely professional.

Because the game hasn't started yet, these people are just holding the cameras in their hands and chatting casually, and no one pays attention to He Shen.

"Hey, this way!"

The staff member leading the way suddenly realized that He Shen had not moved. He immediately took a few steps back, patted He Shen who was standing there, and whispered to him.

"He, we should go to the players' lounge now."

"Yeah, okay."

He Shen took his eyes away from the cameras and turned towards the players' lounge.

It was at this time that He Shen truly realized what an international level competition was.

In the past, no matter whether it was a national-level competition or a college league, none of these domestic competitions had a lineup like this.

The camera follows you all the way.

There was more than one staff member around to serve.

He Shen just took a cursory glance and saw that there were at least seven or eight staff members scattered around to ensure that the best service could be provided to all the players.

At the very least, it would prevent them, the performers, from having to find someone if something goes wrong.

The same is true for these cameras. They use cameras to surround each player and show the performance of these players backstage one by one for everyone outside to see.

At this time, players like them need to treat themselves as pianists instead of as students while waiting.

When they stand on this stage, they are already a pianist, no longer an ordinary student or teacher.

They must always pay attention to their own image and ensure their overall demeanor!

Is this the first step for all pianists from this place to the world?

This is probably why this competition can be one of the four major piano competitions in the World Music Competition Alliance, and it is the first step to become a pianist!

He Shen was in a daze for a moment.

But soon, He Shen's eyes became extremely firm again, and he followed the staff into the player lounge.

The lounge is huge, like a conference room.

The chairs in this lounge are all small European-style back chairs, old European-style back chairs with red cushions in the middle.

At this moment, many players have gathered in the backstage of the concert hall. They are all sitting there, and few people are willing to chat at this time.

After all, when they stepped into this place, they had already become enemies with each other.

All they have to do is to make their own level of strength extremely powerful, and then eliminate all their enemies from this competition.

There is only one champion!

When He Shen opened the door, no one made a move, but all of them showed a trace of fear in their eyes.

In the preliminaries, he entered the main competition with the fourth place.

Moreover, the difference between his scores and those of the previous few people was not far, only a few tenths of a point, and they were very close to each other.

This person is very strong, and is a very, very scary opponent!

Everyone looked at He Shen, and their eyes gradually changed from fear to hesitation.

They began to hesitate, thinking that they had chosen He Shen as their opponent, and whether they had overestimated themselves too much?

Unfortunately, there is only one champion in the competition!

No matter how much they didn't want to face He Shen head-on, they all needed to beat He Shen to get the final championship.

He Shen glanced at the people around him, and his eyes did not fluctuate at all.

No matter how much these people disliked him or were afraid of him, he didn't care.

After all, his goal was the championship, and he had to defeat all these people.

Therefore, no matter what these people think of him, whether they are hostile, friendly, or neutral, He Shen doesn't care.

He has only one goal, that is the championship.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became low, and when the other contestants saw He Shen coming, no one dared to speak.

He Shen just sat there so simply, and gave them a very big pressure, which was transmitted from He Shen to their hands.

Some people suddenly found with a little horror that their hands were shaking?

In the last few minutes before the start of the game, their hands began to shake?

This is not a good sign. If it is not handled well, this shaking hand will affect the processing of the music later, then it will be over!

Everyone looked at He Shen, and their faces became extremely complicated for a while, and they didn't know what to say.

Could it be that they were afraid to follow He Shen and ask him to go out for a while?

Let's not talk about whether He Shen will go out for the time being. If they say so, the anger of one of them will be shortened by half.

And with this missing half, you can never think about winning the championship. It is considered a success if you can survive this round.

After all, every round of the competition will eliminate half of the people!

80 to 40, 40 to 20, 20 to 10, and the top six will be selected from the 10 finalists.

If the Chopin Organizing Committee feels that none of the top ten contestants deserve the top six, it can leave the position vacant for the whole year.

It would rather leave it vacant than give this position to everyone present.

This is the Chopin International Piano Competition.

The most cruel, the world's top piano competition.

Everyone looked at He Shen, the atmosphere became more and more depressing, and the little girl sitting next to He Shen, she began to shake all over.

Tension, pressure...

All kinds of emotions accumulated on the little girl next to He Shen, making her dare not even look at He Shen, just holding her hands, trembling all over.

Some other people around looked at this little girl, wanting to say something, but dared not to say anything. They could only look at He Shen, who showed an extremely powerful aura in this place, crushing everyone.

Ding...

The hour and minute hands of the clock placed in the lounge slowly came to the seven o'clock position, and then there was a crisp sound, breaking the silence in the lounge.

On the stage, the host's voice immediately passed through the door of the room and reached everyone's ears.

He briefly introduced his identity as the host and introduced the judges who were present today to everyone.

The lineup of judges is very strong. Except for Chen Sa, everyone else is here today.

For example, Deng Songshan and Argerich.

All of these people came to stay up late to watch the game and judge the game.

Bang...

The door of the lounge was pushed open by the staff.

A staff member held a tablet in his hand and spoke to everyone.

"On the 13th, 9 o'clock group, the first contestant is ready to go on stage, and the second contestant will enter the lounge to wait."

As soon as the voice fell, the two contestants stood up.

The trembling little girl sitting next to He Shen stood up from the stool, walked to the front of the staff, and said calmly.

"Contestant No. 2, Anastasia Yasko from Bear Country"

The staff looked at the two people standing in front, the little girl and another girl with an East Asian face, nodded silently, took the identity certificates of the two people, checked them one by one, and nodded after the verification was completed.

"Okay, I have successfully verified it. Contestant No. 1 can go on stage later. Contestant No. 2, please go to the lounge in front and wait. We will notify you after Contestant No. 1 finishes playing."

"Okay, okay..."

Anastasia Yasko lowered her head and agreed honestly.

He Shen frowned at the girl, especially when he saw her lowering her head and looking very nervous, and couldn't help but speak.

"Relax."

"Huh?"

Anastasia Yasko was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked around, and found that it was the great devil He Shen who was talking to her. She took a small step back in fear and said in fear.

"What, what's wrong? This, this..."

She looked around at everyone, struggling for a long time, and finally managed to utter a word.

"This contestant?"

He Shen ignored her fear, but pointed directly at her body and said casually.

"You are too nervous. If you go on stage like this, you will not give everyone a very good impression, so relax!"

"Huh? OK... OK?"

Anastasia Yasko didn't know why He Shen said this to her, but she nodded honestly.

"Contestant No. 2, come to the lounge!"

The voice of the staff came again, and she was so scared that she immediately collapsed. She quickly bowed slightly to He Shen, and then ran to the lounge.

He Shen looked at the contestant named "Anastasia Yasko" and acted like this, and couldn't help but snorted and shook his head slightly.

This contestant is dead!
