The world's number one pianist

Two very familiar people gently knocked on the door of He Shen's piano room and sneaked in through the door.

His eyes kept scanning everything in the room, and then they all focused on He Shen.

He Shen looked at these two people and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.

He never expected that these two people would come.

And just behind these two people, there was a little old man, Dan Yi.

Dan Yi clasped his hands behind his back and followed the two of them with a smile. After the two of them entered the house cautiously, he walked out from behind them, walked around to the side, waved gently to He Shen, and smiled. road.

"How's it going? Didn't you expect it? Didn't you expect it was them? I saw them when I went to listen to your performance a few days ago, and when I listened and analyzed other people's performances, but I happened to meet them when I went out today. When I got down, I brought them here with me.”

He Shen was stunned on the spot, opened his mouth, shook his head and said: "I didn't expect..."

Dan Yi couldn't help but laugh when he saw He Shen like this, and immediately retreated towards the door. As he retreated, he said: "In this case, you guys chat first, reminisce about old times, relax your master-disciple friendship, and I'll go out and hang out!"

After saying that, Dan Yi was already standing at the door. He winked at He Shen and waved his hand with a smile.

Just hear a click.

But Yi also carefully closed the door, giving them a very private space so that they could have a good chat.

only……

He Shen rubbed his brows with a slight headache and stood up from the piano.

He temporarily put aside the music that bothered him, stood up, and looked at the two people in front of him.

Zhao Zitong, and... Ji Mengting.

Zhao Zitong wears sports clothes that particularly flatter her figure.

He was wearing a long-sleeved jeans jacket and a sports cap. When he saw He Shen, he raised his chin slightly and nodded to He Shen pretending not to care.

"He Shen, long time no see! Do you miss me?"

Ji Mengting, on the other hand, felt a little guilty. She stood behind Zhao Zitong and tightened her clothes slightly, not daring to look into He Shen's eyes.

He lowered his head and whispered: "Hey, teacher, it was Zhao Zitong who insisted on dragging me here. I didn't want to come because I was afraid of causing trouble to you..."

Zhao Zitong's cool expression suddenly froze and he looked at Ji Mengting, who lowered his head.

Zhao Zitong: "???"

He Shen looked at the two people and didn't know what to say for a moment. He opened his mouth, and finally sighed, sat back on the piano bench, nodded slightly to the two of them, stretched out his hand and said.

"Forget it, sit down."

"Well, okay..."

Ji Mengting obediently found a seat and sat down, while Zhao Zitong glanced around and did not sit down. Instead, he found a wall to lean against and nodded slightly to He Shen.

"Well, it's okay. I can just stand. You don't have to worry about me. Just pretend you didn't hear what she just said."

"OK."

He Shen just nodded and didn't pay much attention to her. Instead, he looked at Ji Mengting in front of him and frowned at her.

"Why are you here? Where are your parents? Are you here alone?"

"Well... when I was a kid, around fifth or sixth grade, I often traveled alone with a team, and at first I was still in China.

When I was in junior high school, I started traveling abroad alone with a team.

By the time I was in high school, I was used to traveling alone. As long as I submitted my travel arrangements to my parents in advance, my parents would ask local friends to protect me.

So I came here alone..."

Ji Mengting answered cautiously. She raised her head slightly and glanced at He Shen. After finding that He Shen had no reaction, she lowered her head again.

Listening to Ji Mengting's words, He Shen couldn't help but realize what it means to be a daughter of a wealthy family!

Traveling abroad alone was cultivated in high school!

Looking back at He Shen himself, He Shen never traveled abroad alone until he went to college.

And when he went to college, it was difficult for him to be sent out to participate in competitions because he refused to compete.

Therefore, Poland can be regarded as the first country for He Shen.

If it weren't for the memory of Chopin in his mind, He Shen might still be following Zhou San, not daring to go anywhere.

He Shen looked at Ji Mengting and didn't know what to say, so he had to look at Zhao Zitong beside him and asked casually.

"What about you? Are you alone?"

"I'm not alone! My mother came with me too!"

When Zhao Zitong saw that He Shen still didn't have a good tone towards her, she reflexively snorted. But soon, she suddenly remembered that He Shen was no longer her teacher, and immediately calmed down her temper a little, inexplicably. He spoke with a hint of grievance.

"After you asked me to go to other schools, I listened to you and came to Berlin University of the Arts, UdK. I had already found a teacher in advance and was studying with her. She thought there was no problem for me to get into college. I just needed to learn my language skills. Just learn it well!”

"Well, good, keep up the good work."

He Shen nodded. He always felt that Zhao Zitong seemed a little better behaved than before?

However, these have nothing to do with him. Anyway, the two of them are no longer bound by the contract, and they cannot be regarded as teachers and students.

It is good that Zhao Zitong listened to his advice and came to Germany to study piano.

At least, she has been pursuing progress.

And UdK, the Polish University of Arts, is the most powerful piano school in Germany. After she comes here, there will definitely not be many.

Especially, the old professors at the Hanover Conservatory of Music died or retired, and there are not many people willing to continue teaching. The Berlin University of Arts can basically be regarded as one of the best choices.

When He Shen thought of this, he nodded and spoke to Zhao Zitong.

"This place is great. Just keep studying there. When the Chopin International Piano Competition is over, I will probably take a while to calm down and reorganize and absorb everything from the competition. Maybe I will go to Berlin University of the Arts. I will treat you to a meal then!"

"Huh? Really?" Zhao Zitong was inexplicably a little depressed. When she heard He Shen say that he might go to Berlin University of the Arts, her eyes suddenly lit up. She jumped forward from the wall and said to He Shen excitedly.

"Teacher, you swear! Swear, swear..."

She was about to ask He Shen to swear, but she couldn't help but stop. After thinking about the relationship between the two, she couldn't help but coughed, looked away, and pretended to care about nothing.

"Ahem, well, teacher, you will definitely win the championship! I hope I can see you at Berlin University of the Arts later!"

"Well, okay."

He Shen didn't know what Zhao Zitong meant by "swear", but he didn't think much about it. He just focused his eyes on the music score.

Just now, two people came in and disrupted his thoughts on music. Now he could only regain his previous feelings.

He looked at the piano score in front of him. Not long after, the itchy feeling before suddenly came to his heart again, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting in the room saw He Shen put his eyes on the music score again, and immediately shut their mouths honestly, sat aside, and watched He Shen flipping through the music score.

The room became very quiet.

He Shen just sat on the piano stool, staring at the music score in front of him in a daze.

Music, can't find a point, can't point out his thoughts on music.

The unnameable depression in his heart made it impossible for him to concentrate well for a while.

Looking at the music score filled with black tadpoles in front of him, he stood up suddenly, gathered the music score in front of him, and slowly exhaled.

"Teacher, what's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Ji Mengting found that He Shen's state was a little wrong, and immediately leaned forward and asked He Shen.

He Shen turned his head to look at the two of them, thought about it, and finally shook his head.

"No, it's nothing, just pour me a glass of water, I'll take a look at the music score."

"Okay!"

Ji Mengting immediately got up and poured a glass of water for He Shen. Zhao Zitong ran slowly and could only retract her legs.

He Shen took Ji Mengting's water cup, looked at the music score in front of him, and thought slowly.

He couldn't find anyone else to help him with this problem now. Only he could make a breakthrough.

Everyone has a different understanding of a piece of work.

Chopin in everyone's heart is also different.

Therefore, even if Argerich or Zimmermann, the world's top pianists, saw his problem, they might not be able to help him.

And Dan Yi is even more so.

The help that Professor Dan Yi can give him is to let him find a direction from ordinary works to masters.

As for the realm after the master, he has rarely encountered it, let alone teaching.

The top big guys can't help him, and those top piano teachers can't help him either.

Although, there were not many problems for him to continue playing.

But his thoughts were not smooth, he could not find what he wanted to interpret perfectly, and he could not interpret the music thoroughly.

And the thoughts that were not smooth could be a hidden danger in the competition.

During the playing process, he suddenly reflected on whether he played this part correctly, which led to the hidden danger of failure in the performance.

And he only had two or three days left before the competition.

The day after tomorrow was the time he agreed with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra to rehearse twice in total. Within two times, he had to give all the modification plans and the places that needed their attention.

Time inexplicably became very tight.

Obviously, he should have interpreted this piece very well and prepared very well, but why...

He actually felt that his thoughts were not smooth?

According to common sense, it shouldn't be, but...

He Shen rubbed his eyebrows. He had a very bold idea, but he didn't know if this idea was right.

He felt that he might be about to break through, that is, the highest level of interpretation of Chopin's piano works.

Starting from Lv0, each realm is three complete realms.

Lv0-2, the pre-entry stage.

Lv2-5, the entry level.

Lv6-8, the specialized level.

Lv9-10, the master level!

There should be another level after that, the highest level.

Only in this way can the master level be considered complete.

As for the master level, the route He Shen chose was to gradually abandon his own existence and gradually become extremely pure, only like Chopin.

Transform yourself into Chopin and play Chopin's piano works.

If you think according to this line of thinking, you should have completely stripped away your existence by now. You should be at the peak of Lv10 now, right?

He Shen didn't know that the more he looked at this score, the more confused he felt.

The more I feel like I can’t play the piano anymore.

Thinking of this place, he felt a little confused.

It's like the kind of person who can breathe suddenly doesn't know how to breathe.

He Shen's breath gradually became heavier. His eyes kept staring at the marked sheet of music in front of him, thinking crazily about everything about music.

However, his appearance looked wrong in other people's eyes.

It's like being sick.

"Teacher, teacher? Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Ji Mengting found that something was wrong with He Shen again, and immediately reached out and pushed him.

Zhao Zitong, who had been standing against the wall, also showed a trace of worry and took a few steps forward.

I want to get close to He Shen, but I don’t dare to get close to He Shen.

He could only dare to look at He Shen from behind Ji Mengting with great worry, and took out his mobile phone.

Be prepared to call an ambulance directly if anything goes slightly wrong.

Although calling an ambulance may start at 1,000 euros, it is not the time to be anxious about money!

After two or three pushes, He Shen didn't get any response. He was still thinking about the music, looking for the key point that could break the situation.

Ji Mengting stepped back with force, and when He Shen's body was almost overturned, the feeling of weightlessness made He Shen slowly come back from his thoughts.

He took two sharp breaths. He first glanced at who was pushing him. After he found out that it was Ji Mengting, he didn't think much. He continued to look at the sheet music in front of him. He resisted and opened it again, and continued to think about music. thoughts.

If you continue to read the music score now, there is a high probability that there is only one possibility, and that is to continue to be addicted to it, and then you can't find the key point of breakthrough and continue to be trapped in that state.

He Shen stretched out his hand and placed it on the music score, his body's instinct wanted him to open it.

But in the end, he put down his hand and shook his head at the two of them.

"No, it's okay. I was just obsessed with music, that's why."

"Teacher He, were you so stressed when you were in Xiao Sai? You can still think about music so much that you are going crazy!"

Ji Mengting looked at the music score in front of He Shen, then glanced at He Shen and asked curiously:

"Teacher, is it possible that all of you pianists in Xiao Sai are like this? Will they also go crazy in the process of preparing for the competition?"

"It is possible to become obsessed. When Li Diyun was in Xiao Sai, he once stood on the roof of the hotel, probably on the fifth or sixth floor, looking downstairs. The pressure was so great that he wished he could just jump off. Go to hell!

No more attending the Chopin International Piano Competition!

only……"

He Shen looked at the music score in front of him, then looked at the two people who had become extremely nervous and hesitated for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"It's just that I'm not under pressure, I just don't have the connection. I haven't figured out a key point. I keep thinking about it, but I can't find the way."

Ji Mengting immediately raised her hand: "Where are you looking for Teacher Danyi? Isn't Teacher Danyi very powerful? He can solve many of your problems."

"No, this is not a problem that he can solve. Other top pianists can't solve it either. I can only rely on myself to think about how to solve it."

"That's it..."

Ji Mengting closed her mouth and did not dare to continue talking.

The same was true for Zhao Zitong sitting aside. She looked at He Shen and did not dare to say anything for fear of affecting He Shen's thinking.

The atmosphere continued to become dull, and Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting felt that they had come at the wrong time.

When Danyi found them before, he told them that He Shen had been under a lot of pressure recently and asked them to come over and help He Shen relieve the pressure.

After all, they were both students of He Shen, so it was normal for them to come over to help He Shen relieve his stress.

After the two of them thought about it, they felt that there was no problem. He Shen had already entered the finals. His previous scores were among the best among all the contestants. With a crushing attitude, he surpassed almost all the contestants and became the winner of the Chopin International Piano Competition. First in the early rounds.

As long as no accidents happen later, there shouldn't be any problems with He Shen.

Even if you don't win the first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition, you will definitely not be in the top six.

Therefore, without thinking much, they came directly to relieve He Shen's pressure.

Then...they became tragic.

They found that the pressure of He Shen's thinking was different from what they thought.

They thought that wanting to take first place put a lot of pressure on He Shen, but Yi Cai asked them to comfort him.

They had even talked in the car before, saying that they shouldn't care too much about first place and that music was the normal state of life.

As a result, when I came here now, I found that this was not the case at all.

He Shen sat there, thinking about music.

His pressure is not imposed on him by the outside world, nor is it placed on him by the pressure of being number one.

But music!

He Shen was looking for a direction that would allow him to make a breakthrough in music.

That was a field they had never touched before, and they had no idea what effect would be achieved if they played it that way.

Therefore, they could not find any way to get He Shen out of this state.

Ji Mengting frantically winked at Zhao Zitong, signaling her to give a little solution.

But Zhao Zitong had no idea at all. She looked at Ji Mengting with a helpless expression.

After the two exchanged glances for a long time, when He Shen was about to start thinking about music again, Ji Mengting suddenly stood up and spoke to He Shen.

"Teacher, have you ever considered going out to relax?"

"Teacher, if I am not mistaken, you have been staying in the piano room during the Chopin International Piano Competition?"

"Teacher, have you visited Chopin's tomb and Chopin's former residence?"

"If you are willing, teacher..."

"How about we go and see it together?"

He Shen heard the voices of the two and slowly raised his head.
