The world's number one pianist

In the first and second rounds of the Chopin International Piano Competition, the contestants may be given some rest time to relax a little and not be too nervous.

But by the third round, there will be no more rest time for these contestants to rest.

The rest time will not be that long.

The Chopin International Piano Competition is a competition that all music agencies around the world are paying attention to. In addition to the first few more powerful contestants, they will be signed by the two major classical music agencies.

Other contestants who can enter the third round will also receive invitations from local classical music agencies in their countries to join their camps.

Therefore, the third round of the Chopin International Piano Competition can be regarded as the beginning of the future generation of classical music stars.

If we apply the set of modern stars, then they are now regarded as trainees who have practiced for more than 15 years?

It’s just that they can’t sing and dance rap, nor can they play basketball.

They can only play the piano normally.

However, for pianists, isn't this enough?

After all, in this era, there are still few companies willing to sign pianists to their own companies.

Apart from the two major classical music companies that are not short of money, there are really few others.

Everyone just wants to make a name, and does not expect their artists to be rich.

And the two major classical music companies, Sunny and GD, have already completed bloody capital accumulation.

Now continuing to recruit people is just a tradition for several years.

Every year, there are three or four contestants. How many can come out? How many can make them a lot of money?

Only one or two have played enough.

Even in recent years, the most popular one is only Lang Liangyue.

However, no matter how much money is lost or how little money is made, the third round still has to be popular.

The Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee called everyone back in such a short time before the third round.

Rao Hao stood stupidly beside He Shen, looking at people from other countries around him inexplicably.

Especially the large group of Japanese people gathered together.

He couldn't help scratching his head, leaned slightly towards He Shen, and asked with a smile.

"He, Teacher He Shen, the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee called us here, what do they want to do?

I was planning to practice more works, but just halfway through, I received an email from the organizing committee, asking us to come to this place now.

So, what are the people from the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee planning to call us for?"

He Shen looked around, looking at several people around him, and saw Kobayashi Ai, who was still sipping water from the cup in the crowd, saw Fan Tian Kyohei with his hair tied up and a smile on his face, and also saw Bruce Liu and Liu Yu who laughed very heartily.

He is relatively face-blind to foreigners, so he can't recognize many.

But he can always see a few, as if he has seen opponents before.

Basically, all the contestants of the Chopin Competition are here, standing in the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall.

According to the degree of acquaintance, they gathered into several circles.

He Shen knew several people in the Chopin International Piano Competition. Except for Fan Tian Kyohei and Liu Yu, all the others were defeated by him.

Therefore, he did not expect that someone would suddenly appear in front of him, greet him, and invite him to chat in their circle.

He Shen looked at the group of people gathered together, thought for a while, and finally shook his head.

"I don't know, it should be all the contestants in the third round.

The official should be looking for us to announce the specific matters of the third round of the Chopin International Piano Competition?"

"Ah? Specific matters? Such specific matters?"

Rao Hao tilted his head in confusion, pointed at his chin with his finger, and thought for a long time, but he didn't expect to announce any specific matters.

It's impossible to suddenly announce that the competition results are wrong and he will be eliminated from the third round, right?

Or...

Before Rao Hao could guess, the chairman and secretary-general of the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee came towards the crowd with a lot of cameras behind them.

After a brief pause, the chairman of the Chopin International Piano Competition stood on a platform that had been erected at some unknown time.

The camera behind him had been completely positioned and aimed at the chairman in front of him.

The chairman exchanged a glance with the secretary-general standing on the side in bright red clothes, and spoke to the crowd.

"First of all, thank you all for coming to the opening ceremony of the third round of the Chopin International Piano Competition!

The Chopin International Piano Competition aims to introduce more Chopin-playing geniuses to the classical music community and recommend talents to major classical music companies.

Therefore, I am sorry to inform you to come and prepare for the third round of the competition while all the contestants are still practicing.

However, this is an international competition, and we need to give all the audience the best experience.

Therefore, I will announce the group list of the third round of the Chopin International Piano Competition here, so that everyone can watch the competition easily."

At this point, the chairman glanced at the camera, scanned the people standing in the audience, each hugging a group, nodded slightly, and spoke to everyone.

"Next, the names of the players and the competition schedule will be read out directly!

On the first day of the competition, the first player is Poland, Piotr Alexewicz!

The second player is Maple Leaf Country, J J Jun Li Bui

The third player is Japan, Yasuko Furumi

The fourth player is China, Shen He!

The fifth player is the United States, Avery Gagliano

The sixth player is Japan, Aimi Kobayashi (Kobayashi Aishi)"

The results of the first round of the competition were announced, and the staff standing on the side immediately took out six competition cards, handed them out, and placed them on the table in front of everyone.

He Shen did not have any extra reaction. He stood up and walked to the staff, stretched out his hand to take his competition certificate, and followed the staff's instructions. After accepting the encouragement of the chairman, he went downstairs directly.

Most of the other players did the same.

Just as He Shen was about to say something to Rao Hao, he found that the people around him were looking at him and others, their eyes were full of strangeness and relief.

He Shen looked at Rao Hao and found that he was also in the same situation. He couldn't help but frowned slightly and whispered.

"What's wrong?"

"He, Teacher He, didn't you notice?"

Rao Hao pointed at all the players who had played with He Shen for a day, his eyes were extremely strange.

"Teacher He, your first day of competition can be called the death group!"

"Death group?" He Shen frowned puzzled.

"The players who competed with you on the first day are basically all from the first echelon!

First, there is this player from Maple Leaf Country, a quiet player in the first echelon. Although he doesn't talk much and there is no discussion, his strength is unquestionable! Absolutely powerful!

The same is true for Kobayashi Ai, although she was defeated by you once, she should not be underestimated.

Including you, Teacher He, all of you are heading for the championship. Even if there is no championship, you are basically players who can compete for a place!

There are only six places in the final of the Chopin International Piano Competition, and your group can at least enter three..."

Speaking of this, Rao Hao couldn't help showing a trace of fear, and he let out a long breath, wiped off the non-existent sweat on his head, and smiled at He Shen.

"Fortunately I'm not in your group, Mr. He. If I were in your group, I would definitely be crushed to pieces in the face of so many extremely powerful players!"

"Is that so?"

He Shen didn't comment, just smiled casually, and looked into the distance, looking at the position of the two people that Rao Hao mentioned before.

The man from Maple Leaf Country with a very long name and a lot of characters obviously didn't feel anything. He stood beside Liu Yu and chatted with Liu Yu from time to time, obviously not taking it seriously.

And Kobayashi Ai...

Her face was obviously not right. When she continued to chat with other people around her, she also looked a little absent-minded. She kept drinking the hot water in her thermos to calm her heart a little.

Just when He Shen looked at her, she seemed to sense something and turned her head to look at He Shen as well.

Her pupils immediately shrank slightly, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at He Shen.

She was afraid...

Before the last confrontation with He Shen, she felt that she could resist the influence brought by He Shen head-on.

However, when she officially stood on the stage, feeling the crowd and their emotions from the audience.

She suddenly couldn't bear it.

She failed, there was no doubt that she failed!

She could only barely maintain the extremely strong audience influence brought by He Shen.

Not to mention the control of enhancement and weakening.

It can even be said that being able to finish the performance is already very good!

Now I didn't expect that I would have to face He Shen in this round...

When I thought of this, Kobayashi Ai couldn't help but have a headache, trying to control her inner emotions and not collapse.

After all, He Shen is now in everyone's heart, and can be regarded as a piano devil who can't be more powerful!

Without saying a word, there was no smile on his face, and the whole person was completely immersed in the music, just like a music devil.

The only one who could fight against He Shen and barely say that he was not inferior should be...

Kobayashi Ai looked at Liu Yu in the Maple Leaf Country camp in the distance.

Compared with confronting He Shen head-on, she would rather confront Liu Yu head-on.

Although both of them lost, at least Liu Yu looked friendlier than He Shen!

Kobayashi Ai's expression changed wildly, and Fan Tian Kyohei, who was standing on the side, also noticed this. He snorted, patted her shoulder, and said in a serious tone.

"Focus! Don't be afraid! Just play well. You have already been on the stage once. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid..."

Kobayashi Ai bit her lips and wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

She retracted her gaze and put it on the water cup in front of her, drinking the water in the cup honestly without saying a word.

And He Shen also retracted his gaze and no longer looked at the situation in Japan.

Xiaolin Aishi was already a little scared by him, and she didn't even dare to confront him head-on.

Most of the other players are not very eye-catching, just like that.

I really look forward to what kind of interpretation this group of people can give me in the third round of competition!

He Shen continued to look at the chairman in front of him, looking at his allocation of players.

Most of the players behind are like this too.

It should be after special consideration, He Shen, Bruce Liu, Kyohei Tanda, and Martin Garcia Garcia from Spain.

One day for four people.

but……

He Shen's eyes were not on Martin, but on a person near Martin.

A very calm and low-key player standing near Martin.

He and Martin played on the same day. If I remember his name correctly, he should be...

Alexander Gadjiev

Alexander Gatyev!

A player who is between the first and second echelons is extremely stable.

It's like there is still some hidden strength?

After all, just looking at the aura exuding from him, he doesn't look like a player who can only make it to the finals!

He Shen's eyes were fixed on him, and Alexander felt something. He looked at He Shen, smiled at him, and then stretched out his hand to salute.

He didn't pay any attention to He Shen.

And when He Shen saw him like this, the idea that he had hidden his own strength became more and more intense in his heart!

This person is definitely not simple!

This person might officially show his strength in this round.

After all, it's round three now, and the big music companies will start paying attention now.

Consider the players they choose to sign this year!

He Shen withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at the other players.

By the time we get to the finals, these players will probably be reduced by half.

Except for those few who are particularly powerful, others are basically ignored at all.

Suddenly, He Shen felt a chirping sound coming from his ears. He turned his head and found that Rao Hao was still talking in that place.

"Huh, I didn't expect that I was still competing on the third day. There seemed to be few powerful players in the third day of the competition?

If I remember correctly, the most powerful one was Kyohei Tanda, and his style was quite different from mine, so he didn’t have much influence on me.

If you look at it this way, I seem to be pretty safe this round? Maybe we can make it to the finals!

Ah, I'm lucky. Fortunately, I wasn't placed in Mr. He Shen's group, otherwise I would have been crushed to pieces.

Um? Teacher He Shen? Why don't you speak? "

He Shen looked at Rao Hao who kept talking on the side, couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said calmly.

"No, it's nothing."

"Eh? Is that so?"

Rao Hao scratched his head, a little unsure of his thoughts.

But soon, he put this idea aside, was too lazy to think about it, and continued to look at the Chairman on the stage.

After the chairman continued to announce some other matters that were not worth paying attention to, he spoke to everyone.

"Okay, finally, all players are invited to follow our staff to shoot promotional posters.

Your third round of posters will be placed around the concert hall for everyone to see, increasing your personal fame.

At that time, many international classical music companies will be able to see you and may contact you in advance.

And this third round is just the beginning. When the fourth round comes, your latest artistic photos will be displayed all over Warsaw, and your photos will be everywhere!

To all Chopin International Piano Competition fans around the world, we announce that you are the final ten! "

As soon as these words came out, countless people suddenly became excited, and everyone immediately thought of their artistic photos being placed in the center of Warsaw.

Everyone looked at him and saluted him with attention.

For a moment, they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

Including Rao Hao around He Shen.

but……

After He Shen heard the news, he couldn't help but take two steps back, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

To be hung on a flag and have your picture visible to everyone?

Although I say I am not ugly, it will definitely not affect the appearance of the city.

but……

He Shen reached out and pinched the center of his eyebrows to gradually calm down his emotions.

But there is always an inexplicable sense of shame in doing so.

Isn't this thing too shameful?

Putting your own photos in front of so many people!

This is not the kind found online, this is completely real!

The more He Shen thought about it, the more he resisted, and his steps could not help but become slower and slower.

Rao Hao, who was standing in front, was walking and found He Shen disappearing from the corner of his vision. He couldn't help but be startled, and turned his head to look for He Shen immediately.

Soon, he found He Shen at the back of the team and said in confusion.

"Teacher He, what are you... doing? We have now entered the third round and are about to be officially promoted. Why are you not anxious at all?"

"Propaganda..."

He Shen took a deep breath to calm down a little, then looked at the increasingly excited Rao Hao in front of him and shook his head helplessly.

It seems that among so many people, I am the only one who doesn't want to be promoted by the official?

But why did I come to the Chopin International Piano Competition?

At first, Principal Zhou San called me to come, so I came. After all, he helped me find a job and gave me a salary, so I have to repay him.

Later, because of my father's doubts, I decided to come to participate in the competition to prove that I am a pianist and win the championship to slap my father in the face.

Now?

The competition is already more than halfway through, and there are only the third round and the final round left.

In fact, let's not talk about the concerto in the final round. Basically, it's the same one, Chopin's First Piano Concerto.

So this third round is equivalent to the last round.

Now... why am I playing the piano?

He Shen stopped and stood there thinking slowly.

Rao Hao looked at He Shen inexplicably. He just urged He Shen to take pictures quickly.

Unexpectedly, he stopped?

Rao Hao scratched his head and whispered to He Shen.

"He? Teacher He? What's wrong with you? Why don't you leave? The photographer is waiting for us in front?"

"Huh?"

He Shen suddenly woke up, immediately pinched his eyebrows, and threw that thought behind his mind

Now he didn't care why he was playing the piano.

Those two reasons were enough for him to finish this game.

Where did he get so much thinking?

He Shen looked at the people in front of him who were queuing up to take pictures, shook his head, and followed Rao Hao obediently, waiting for his turn.

It didn't take long before another group of photographers invited He Shen and the other two to help them take pictures.

Rao Hao was very quick and got the photographer's permission after a few tricks.

And He Shen...

Everyone looked at the man in the photo, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a cold look on his face, as if questioning whether they practiced the piano today, and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Otherwise... He Shen wouldn't be allowed to smile?
