The world's number one pianist

Amid the applause of the crowd, He Shen bowed slightly to the crowd again, stood up and picked up the hand towel on the piano, carefully put it in his pocket, and walked towards the concert hall.

At this moment, the applause of the audience was still extremely warm.

And the contestant standing under the stage was trembling a little bit.

Although she knew that her work did not collide with He Shen's work, and the styles of the two were different.

But she was very nervous and very scared, afraid that she might make mistakes in her performance.

Unfortunately, no matter how scared she was, she now needed to stand on the stage and accept everyone's review.

After the applause of the crowd weakened a little, she squeezed the gem on her chest hard and walked up very seriously.

And when she walked up, Kobayashi Ai also walked out of the contestant lounge behind.

She looked at He Shen who was about to leave, looking at him very seriously, her eyes locked on him.

She seemed to want to find out why He Shen was so strong.

But unfortunately, she looked at He Shen and didn't find anything special.

In fact, He Shen looked like a very, very ordinary pianist.

This is when He Shen was wearing a suit.

If He Shen was wearing an ordinary shirt, she might just think of He Shen as an ordinary otaku.

The kind of otaku who stayed in the room alone and was busy with his own things all day.

There was no way to tell the difference between He Shen and the top player in the first echelon of the Chopin International Piano Competition in front of him.

Unfortunately, many things can't be seen with the eyes.

He Shen just stood there. When he didn't play the piano, he obviously had no momentum, but he was still able to get a very high score in this round, the most important round.

This kind of person is really...

She couldn't help but sigh, scratched her head, forced a smile, put her hands in front of her, and bowed slightly to He Shen.

"He, congratulations, you played well this round!"

"Hmm?"

He Shen was about to leave when he heard Xiao Lin Ai's congratulations behind him. He was stunned for a moment, turned around, and nodded to Xiao Lin Ai.

"Hmm, thank you, but... your repertoire should be repeated with mine, right?"

"Yes, there is no way, I did repeat your piece with He, your performance is very, very powerful, I like it very much, but unfortunately, I repeated it with you..."

Xiao Lin Ai shook her head, and a trace of helplessness appeared in her eyes.

She worked very hard, and she even chose Chopin's complete set of preludes in order to get a better result in this round.

But she never thought that this should be a very wise behavior, but it seemed so stupid at this moment.

She really didn't know what was wrong with her at that time, and she actually wanted to choose Chopin's complete set of preludes.

Now it's good, it directly collides with He Shen's work.

Now she doesn't even know if she can withstand He Shen's pressure, let alone the promotion in the future.

This is really, really finished...

Kobayashi Ai was a little helpless for a while, but she quickly adjusted her mood.

Put this matter aside completely.

There is no way, the thing has already happened, and she has no ability to make He Shen take back the work and let everyone present forget about it.

It is precisely because of this that her mentality has inexplicably become particularly relaxed.

Perhaps she has been prepared to be eliminated.

She bowed slightly to He Shen again, smiled and waved her hand.

"Okay, anyway, He, you played very well! Next I am going to go on stage, so I wish you a better result in the next round!"

After that, she nodded slightly to the camera that was put away on the side.

At this time, the camera focused their attention on Kobayashi Ai, scanning all her emotions before the game.

Play everything about her for the audience to pay attention to.

Pave a little bit for her future career as a musician.

He Shen looked at Kobayashi Aishi who was surrounded by cameras and couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

Kobayashi Aishi's previous level was really average.

Especially after meeting him, she often made some unnecessary mistakes.

Now her mentality has been completely relaxed, and her performance may be better in the future.

However, these have nothing to do with him. He Shen now only thinks about the last little bit, that is, to go back quickly and take a rest.

Before, he was on the stage for a whole hour, and the crazy operation of his brain made him extremely tired.

He didn't want to think about anything else at all.

No matter how those people behind him played, it had nothing to do with him.

Anyway, as long as they entered the finals, they would be his opponents.

He still had the last round of the game to play.

There was no need to stand here and entangle with those people.

He Shen rubbed his eyebrows to relieve the pain in his brain, and then greeted the staff at the door and asked him to call a car for him and send him back to the hotel to rest.

After He Shen left, perhaps because Kobayashi Aishi had completely given up the competition, her performance was slightly higher than her previous level.

It can even be said that Kobayashi Aishi directly performed her best interpretation ever in this competition.

Those who might have had a little distrust of Kobayashi Aishi were surprised.

After all, her interpretation was close to her personal style, which was very different from He Shen's particularly pure Chopin.

Her final score barely reached a very high score on that day.

And wait until the next day.

He Shen followed Dan Yi and the others to the scene, found the most remote position and sat down, and listened to other people's interpretations slowly.

Most people thought the same as they did at the beginning.

Compared with the 24 Chopin preludes, most people would still choose Chopin's sonatas in the same time.

After all, the time is about the same, and the emotions in Chopin's piano sonatas are much less than those in the preludes.

Yes, piano sonatas may be a little more difficult, but...

At least, the mood of piano sonatas does not need to change so much. It is not necessary to maintain a happy mood at the beginning, and then suddenly become extremely sad in the later mood.

When you are sad, you may bring up the departure of your family, but before the departure is over, you suddenly change your mood to the excitement of drawing a card.

Or other similar emotions.

First, the performer's emotions must be separated from the emotions he wants to express, and then the next emotion must be brought in.

Not to mention difficult, at least it is tiring.

After playing a whole set of piano preludes, the brain may not be able to control the emotions.

So, in the next few days.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day.

Only one person chose the complete set of Chopin's piano preludes.

All the others chose various piano sonatas.

And the best interpreters of Chopin's piano preludes happened to be concentrated on the first day.

The piano preludes of Porter, He Shen, and Kobayashi Ai are recognized by all the audience as the three best piano preludes of the year.

Of course, if there is only one, then it is only He Shen's.

After all, He Shen had already brought this set of piano preludes to the peak state, the peak of Lv10, a few months ago!

In the competition these days, in addition to the fact that only one person still played Chopin's preludes, there are still several very important points.

The first is Liu Yu, Bruce Liu.

Maybe because he is a disciple of Deng Songshan, his performance in this game is still very perfect.

All the works are maintained at Lv10.

Although it has not reached the peak of Lv10, at least all the works are at Lv10, a very high level.

If He Shen did not have this Chopin piano prelude, it is really possible that Liu Yu would completely lock the score, without any chance of catching up.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Yu looked at the audience with a very strange expression after he finished interpreting.

It was the kind of expression that wanted to be happy, but couldn't be happy no matter what.

He played very steadily in this game, but what's the use of being steady? If he couldn't beat He Shen, there would only be one piece in the last round, how would he play later?

The proportion of the score in the last round was not high, and it only accounted for one-third of the proportion if he played well.

He had never beaten He Shen before, and was even left behind by He Shen.

The last round, an ordinary piano concerto.

Liu Yu didn't believe that He Shen hadn't practiced, and he also didn't believe that He Shen's interpretation of this piano concerto would be worse than his other works.

For example, He Shen played the Chopin Prelude in the third round.

Therefore, after he finished playing the piano, he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

In the end, he showed a bitter smile, bowed slightly to everyone, and walked off the stage quickly.

He didn't care whether he could enter the next round or not. What he cared about most now was whether he could win the championship.

The one who followed Liu Yu was Fan Tian Kyohei.

But he still had a smile on his face and always looked at others with a smile.

Even if he finished playing, he just smiled at everyone and went off the stage directly.

It was hard to tell what he was thinking.

But when he pinched the hand towel in his hand, he pinched it very hard!

Rao Hao was the same as before, with an extremely strong personal style, giving people a refreshing feeling.

This special feeling, coupled with Rao Hao's stability and the interpretation of his strength in the forefront.

No matter what, he should not be eliminated directly, and he will basically enter the finals steadily.

Therefore, He Shen's attention to Rao Hao was not particularly great.

He was paying attention to another contestant!

In addition to these two people, in the third round, a very strong contestant emerged.

Alexander Gagiev!

This was the player from Italy that He Shen saw at the end of the second round when he went to get his third round spot.

This contestant had always been in the first echelon, neither rushing forward nor retreating backward.

But in this round, the strength of his performance directly shocked everyone.

His Chopin Piano Sonata is almost the most perfect piano sonata that He Shen has seen in the past few days.

Even if we use the classification standard given by the system, his Chopin Piano Sonata, like He Shen's prelude, has reached the peak of Lv10.

Even if his previous Mazurka was played relatively ordinary, it could not cover up the perfection in his piano sonata.

He Shen sat at the back of the concert hall, watching that person, who became extremely dazzling on the stage, and his eyes could not help but be a little solemn.

This person should not have opened external plug-ins.

His Chopin Piano Sonata was basically practiced by himself little by little to achieve such a perfect state.

And looking at his expression, he seemed to be very confident about the repertoire of the final later.

If He Shen guessed correctly, this person has truly exerted his strongest strength now.

When he let everyone relax their vigilance against him before, he gave everyone a particularly ruthless backstab.

Moreover, he was controlling his strength before, ensuring that his strength was at a stage where he was able to compete for the first place, but not rushing towards the first place.

This kind of control is really terrifying.

If it were a little more or a little less, he would basically lose the opportunity to continue to rush for the championship.

This kind of person can really endure!

According to common sense, it should be the Spanish player who performed best on the fourth day. He didn't expect this at all, and was directly stunned, and his performance was a little abnormal.

If it weren't for his strong strength, which allowed him to recover quickly, he would basically say goodbye to the audience directly in this round.

What a pity...

He Shen touched his chin. This person's strength is very strong, but the work ability he has shown now is basically a little higher than that of Fan Tian Kyohei, but a line lower than Liu Yu.

He, in the end, is still not as good as Liu Yu.

Although he said that he controlled the score very well, it was a pity that he forgot one thing, that is, if he wanted to win the championship, he had to start competing in the first round.

He had a clear misjudgment of Liu Yu's strength, and thought that he could catch up with Liu Yu in the next two rounds.

However, this was only a good idea.

He Shen looked at Alexander with a smile on his face, shook his head slightly, and was too lazy to pay attention.

In the final, this Alexander should also perform well.

If he wants to compete for the championship, he must perform very well in the final to have a little hope of competing for the championship.

And I and Liu Yu will never give him any hope.

Give any hope to Fan Tian Kyohei and the Spanish player.

After all, the score gap has been opened, and it will be very, very difficult to make up for it in the final.

When He Shen thought of this, he stood up and prepared to leave the concert hall.

Dan Yi, who was sitting next to He Shen, suddenly found that He Shen stood up, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Without thinking too much, he also stood up with He Shen and walked outside the concert hall.

Looking at the empty hall outside, Dan Yi put his hands behind his back, listened to the interpretation in the concert hall with his ears, and said to He Shen casually.

"What's wrong? Why don't you listen? There are still a few people behind."

"No need, it's enough. I can probably calculate who will enter the finals."

"Oh?"

Dan Yi watched He Shen prepare to leave. He looked at the interpretations of those people in the concert hall. In his mind, he thought about the list of finalists and nodded slightly.

He also roughly guessed who would enter the finals.

However, Dan Yi put his hands behind his back and followed He Shen slowly, saying slowly.

"So, who do you think should be the finalists?"

"Me, Liu Yu, and the Japanese Fan Tian Kyohei, the three of us should have no problem!"

He Shen said as he walked down.

"Then, there are today's two players, the one from Spain and the one from Italy. These two players should have no problem entering the finals."

"Although the Spanish player made obvious mistakes at the beginning, he quickly made up for it later, so that he would not make mistakes in this round."

"And Alexander, the Italian player, did not make many mistakes. He obviously showed signs of dominating the day in this round. He will have no problem entering the next round."

"Now, there are five people!"

At this moment, He Shen had already walked to the door of the music hall, looking at the outside of the concert hall, and said as he walked.

"Our Chinese Rao Hao has a very strong personal style. Although his final results may be average, I think he will have no problem entering the finals."

"Kobayashi Ai Mi, it is said that she played very well later, so she should have no problem entering the finals."

"Bai Lijun, I think his performance is average, but it may be more in line with the taste of the judges? I think his chances of entering the finals are not great."

"Porter, his interpretation of music is very consistent with my idea of ​​music. I think he should be able to enter the finals of the Chopin International Piano Competition. However, my counterattack against him later made his music seem a little dim, so I think he might be eliminated."

"EVA from Bear Country has always performed very stably and is full of personal style. She should not have many problems."

"I think these four people should enter the finals without any problems!"

"As for the others, there may be 2-3 places. I'm not sure, but it doesn't matter much."

As he spoke, He Shen was already standing on the street near the Warsaw Chopin Philharmonic Hall.

The hotel they stayed in was nearby.

The surroundings were very quiet, and even if there were cars, there were not many.

He Shen crossed the road and walked to the small forest across the road. He sat on a bench and looked at the starry sky above his head. He couldn't help but stop talking.

The starry sky was beautiful, making him a little obsessed.

Dan Yi also sat behind He Shen, also looking up at the starry sky, and said slowly.

"Yes, you are right, there are probably only a few people who can enter the finals."

"In the finals, Chopin's last piano concerto, everyone will probably play Chopin's first piano concerto."

"At the last moment, you must not give up all your efforts!"

"So, come on! I will prepare everything for you!"
