The world's number one pianist

The audience in the classical music circle in Europe were all excited. Google search reading

For them, it has been a long time since they heard such a great big guy release an album!

It has been so long that they have forgotten that there are new recordings in the piano world.

The most popular pianists in Europe and the United States are basically Lang Liangyue and Kissin.

But Lang Liangyue has just released an album. His album cannot be said to be bad, but it can only be said that... it is very conventional and does not have the feeling of making people's eyes shine.

It is the kind of interpretation that exceeds the top level.

Each song of Lang Liangyue is a master-level performance, but it is a pity that it is not too eye-catching.

However, many people still like Lang Liangyue's performance. After all, his personal style is too obvious. Even if it is not particularly eye-catching, it is worth listening to!

It's a pity that his hand is injured and he can't interpret those particularly large-scale pieces.

In addition, Lang Liangyue's personal tour concert no longer plays large-scale works, and began to turn to some small and exquisite works.

Therefore, in Europe and the United States, the discussion of Lang Liangyue began to decline.

Just when there was a gap in this market, a new pianist appeared on the Internet, a pianist that they seemed to have heard before, but they did not have a particularly deep impression.

For a time, those gourmets with a particularly high level of music appreciation frantically followed the pace of those music review magazines to listen to He Shen's interpretation.

The result is obvious...

He Shen's work directly topped the list of Youtu.com's classical music daily chart.

It surpassed a large number of beautiful pianists who were previously ranked first in the number of views!

Countless Youtu.com users kept brushing their words under He Shen's video.

Use their own words to describe their feelings about He Shen's work.

And...

Hate!

"He, you played very well! I like your performance very much, but why do you only have one? Can't you have more?"

"Oh... why, why did it end so quickly? Your piece is too short!"

"Very good! But too short, not enough!"

"He Shen is awesome!!!"

"..."

No matter where you look at it, almost everyone thinks that He Shen's piece is very good, so good that it feels a bit outrageous!

Similarly, He Shen's piece is too short, so short that it makes them angry!

Therefore, they kept urging He Shen to speed up the update of new works under He Shen's videos, and they wished that He Shen would update ten videos a day, all of which are works of this level!

Of course, they were just looking forward to it, and they didn't have particularly high expectations for it.

Just like urging the author to update, this thing can't be urged just by wanting to urge.

When those pianists played these top works, it was definitely impossible to get them out of the grinding once. They would definitely grind many times, play continuously, and choose the best one before releasing it.

That's why they just kept shouting for He Shen to update quickly, verbally playing dirty, and their behavior did not take any other unnecessary actions.

However, this was originally just a very ordinary act of urging for more updates, but Schneider of Deutsche Grammophon magazine felt a glimmer of opportunity.

Schneider stood in front of his desk, touching his chin, looking at the comment area in front of him, his eyes flickering.

This is an opportunity!

An opportunity that is very easy to take advantage of!

This time, He Shen's influence in Europe because of a piece of work was something Schneider had not expected.

He Shen's current piece of work is too little and too short, and it is not enough to listen to.

In addition, the main body has always been a sad momentum. Most people will probably feel uncomfortable after listening to it a few times, and thus don't want to continue listening.

However, it is precisely because of this that He Shen directly whetted the appetite of countless people.

Let these viewers leave messages under the channel of He Shen, the oil-earned man, founded by their Deutsche Grammophon company, asking He Shen to continue to update.

Normally, these viewers should not do this.

After all, everyone has so many classics to listen to, and those works have passed the copyright period and have been put on the Internet.

Those works are basically the most perfect works played by countless top pianists throughout their lives.

Everyone is used to listening to those works.

But He Shen is different this time!

He Shen is a new pianist, a pianist that everyone is completely unfamiliar with.

Everyone is completely blank about his touch, his understanding of He Shen's music, and his skills.

In addition, no top pianist has released some influential videos or albums recently.

They are all in a period of rest recently.

This makes this market empty!

This... seems to be an opportunity!

An opportunity for He Shen to step out of China and go to the world completely.

Not only that, it can even allow He Shen's influence in the world to feed back to China and jointly improve He Shen's ranking among musicians around the world!

Promoted to the top 100 pianists in the world?

Schneider, the head of Deutsche Grammophon magazine, couldn't help but touch his chin and began to seriously think about the possibility of success of this matter.

Now, it does seem like an opportunity.

However, this requires some design!

He hesitated for a moment, returned to the computer, and quickly wrote an email to He Shen.

In Europe, the main way for most people to communicate is still email, whether it is with the post office, school, or colleagues.

Email is always the most effective way.

Rather than using quick chat software.

After Schneider sent the email, he turned and walked to the workplace outside.

He wanted to call some people to discuss the possibility of designing He Shen's first solo album!

If we just talk about perfect interpretation, they have another work here.

The video of He Shen winning the Chopin International Piano Competition at the end!

At that time, they tried to burn this video and sell it.

Unfortunately, except for the beginning, when He Shen just won the championship, there was a little bit of sales, which barely made up for the cost.

Later, after He Shen disappeared, this record has been in a state of loss, and they can only recycle it and stop sending it.

Now it seems that there is a chance to restart this work, reprint it, and then burn it.

Specifically, upload it to the website as a way to attract fans.

Or, treat it as part of the album and burn it into the album.

It depends on He Shen's choice later!

However, as the head of a music company, he still needs to prepare both in advance.

Soon, he was completely in the working state.

And that email, along with the spread of the Internet, was transmitted to He Shen's mobile phone not long after.

At this moment, He Shen was standing at the door of his piano room, frowning at the three people in front of him.

At his door, there was a group of parents.

Both parents brought their children to the door of He Shen's piano room.

Parents behind, children in front, an extremely standard combination.

When the mother saw He Shen open the door and come out, she immediately smiled carefully.

"Teacher He, hello, hello, hello, hello, um, are you free recently? Can you listen to my child play his works? And then give some pointers? After all, we just heard that Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music will conduct a pilot external enrollment this year, and will completely open enrollment next year, so we want to..."

The mother looked around and found that there were no students around and no one noticed them. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief and poked the man standing aside who looked very honest.

Took a box of tea from the man and smiled.

"Well, this is our first time here. We don't know what Professor He likes, so we brought two boxes of tea. I hope Professor He will trouble you to help our child see if there is a chance to enter your Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music?"

After that, she handed the tea in her hand forward, with a flattering look in her eyes.

She also poked the man next to her with her elbow, and the man instantly understood and also showed a flattering smile to He Shen.

Only the little brat was looking around nonchalantly, wondering what he was thinking.

He Shen glanced at the two parents, especially at the tea in their hands, and sighed slowly from the bottom of his heart, filled with endless fatigue.

This is not the first time...

When He Shen opened his mouth and was about to say something, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and an email in German floated over the lock screen page.

Before He Shen could see what was written on it, the parents' eyes became sharp instead.

Especially the mother, her eyes almost directly stuffed into He Shen's mobile phone, wanting to see what was written on He Shen's mobile phone.

A piano world, the mobile phone is full of emails with characters.

This style instantly came up!

But when He Shen raised his head, the mother immediately retracted her head and pretended that nothing had happened.

He Shen glanced at his mobile phone, then glanced at the parents in front of him, and after struggling for a moment, he slowly sighed and spoke to the child at the door.

"Come in, sit on it, and play the piece you're going to take the test."

The mother's eyes lit up instantly, and the smile on her face became even stronger. She took a small step forward, stuffed the tea leaves in her hand into He Shen's hand, and turned to smile at her son.

"Xiao Hu, come on, get on the piano, and show the teacher your current level! You must play well and play as well as you should..."

As she spoke, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

He Shen's hand did not touch the tea leaves she handed over at all.

Instead, he took two steps back.

He Shen's eyes gradually became cold, which made her feel cold in her heart. She awkwardly shrank the tea leaves in her hand into her arms and whispered.

"He, Professor He, what's wrong? You... don't like tea?"

He Shen looked at her, then glanced at the child who was still standing at the door, and said in an extremely cold tone.

"You, play the piano."

The child was immediately frightened by He Shen's extremely cold temperament, and couldn't help but shrink his back slightly towards He Shen, and whispered.

"Oh..."

He walked past He Shen carefully, looked at his parents tentatively, and then looked at He Shen again, with fear on his face, not daring to say a word, and quickly walked to the piano and sat upright.

After he sat down, He Shen returned his gaze to the little boy's parents in front of him. He didn't say a word, but glanced at them, hummed softly, and said very calmly.

"You guessed it, obviously I don't like tea."

After that, he slammed the door shut.

Peng! !

The door to the piano room was slammed shut in front of the parents, causing them to take a step back, looking at each other awkwardly, and touching their faces.

The two of them stood at the door in embarrassment, waiting for the sound in the room.

They waited until the sound of their children's piano came from the piano room, and then they slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The mother took a step back, leaned on the railing, threw the tea leaves in her hand to the man, and complained weakly.

"Sure enough, this Professor He is exactly the same as the rumors on the Internet. The young man is young and energetic, aloof, and can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. We came to see Director He Shen. Did we make a wrong choice by asking Director He to help our children enter university? husband?"

The man, her husband, held the tea leaves in his hands, gently blew away the dust, opened the tea box, and said with a puzzled expression.

"No, shouldn't it be easier to deal with such a young deputy director? He even refuses to accept tea, so what kind of gift should we prepare for him? Do we have to throw cash to him directly? Or do we have to ask for it? Bank transfer?"

As he spoke, he opened the tea box in front of him and took out the tea leaves on it.

Under the tea leaves, there was a pile of banknotes densely packed, all of which were 100-yuan coins.

The man clicked the soft girl coins inside one by one, and after confirming that they were correct, he nodded, closed the tea leaves, and placed them in his arms.

The total amount of money in this tea is not much, only fifty thousand.

This is just a meeting gift. If they want to take further lessons with He Shen later, they have prepared more money.

Calculated according to the market price, at least 500,000 yuan was prepared, which is still relatively small.

The main reason is that although Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music is considered a new music conservatory and has even been open for several years, it has been recruiting students in Jiangzhou. Their reputation is very high among all music conservatories. Inconspicuous.

You can definitely say that Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music is just an ordinary local comedy.

Now Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music is about to recruit students from all over China. It is obvious that it will become a music conservatory in China and move towards a higher level.

For this new national music conservatory, the price of 500,000 is considered relatively reasonable.

The prices at particularly large conservatories are even more outrageous.

It is said that there are professors who receive millions in fees!

One class costs 5,000 yuan and lasts forty-five minutes, two classes of one and a half hours a day.

Even so, the schedule is still full.

Therefore, they felt that they gave He Shen 50,000 yuan as a gift at the beginning, which was already very good!

Unexpectedly, they had just come to see He Shen. They didn't even send out the greeting gift, but He Shen slammed the door shut and came out.

The man looked at his wife and said helplessly: "So, what should we do now? Should we just leave this thing here?"

When the mother heard about this place, she was so angry that she stepped on the man and said angrily: "Are you crazy? This place is a school! It would be easier to say if it was Professor He Shen's home, but this place is a school!" You have to give gifts secretly! What do you want to do by putting this gift here? Are you going to give it to Professor He Shen directly?"

"Don't let us go in then, but because you threw this gift at the door, you ended up hating Professor He Shen and sending our child away!"

When she mentioned this point, she couldn't help but become even more angry. She walked forward and grabbed the man's waist hard. The man winced and kept begging for mercy.

As a result, the two were flirting and discussing how to open He Shen's door and let He Shen take care of their child...

The door of He Shen's piano room opened, and the little boy who went in before walked out with his head lowered, looking like he was about to cry.

When the mother saw her child like this, she immediately walked forward in small steps, hugging her child while smiling apologetically at He Shen.

"Professor He, how is my child...how is he? Are you satisfied?"

He Shen looked at the mother in front of him, then at the father standing behind the mother, and finally looked at the child who was about to cry when he scolded him, and said calmly.

"Okay, keep working hard and there will be a chance to come in next year."

"Teacher He, is it true? Have you decided to accept him as a student? Do you think we should make an appointment with you about the time for future classes?" The mother's eyes lit up and she took two steps forward. He said to He Shen.

But he didn't expect that what he got in exchange was a more serious expression from He Shen.

He Shen looked at his mother in front of him and shook his head slowly and firmly.

"I said, if he works hard, he can get in."

When the mother heard this place, she took a step forward and said excitedly: "Teacher He Shen, then that pair of tea leaves..."

Bang! ! !

He Shen slammed the door of the piano room shut, shutting out the mother holding tea leaves, her husband, and children.

The mother glanced at the tea leaves in her hand and then at her husband behind her, confused.

He Shen also said that her children could pass the exam, but refused to take care of her children.

What does this mean? Do you think the money is not enough?

Or is this just a polite remark, and her child can't even get into the music school?

Or is it something else?

For a moment, the mother had no idea what He Shen was thinking, and she scratched her head and stood at the door for a long time.

She waited until she was sure that He Shen would not open the door before she threw the tea leaves to her husband, and left with her family towards the stairs with a question mark on her head.

She had no idea what He Shen was thinking.

He Shen stood at the door, and only when the sound at the door completely subsided did he slowly let out a long sigh of relief.

He Shen sighed, walked to the small sofa in his piano room, threw himself directly into the sofa, and kept rubbing his eyebrows.

What happened just now was not the first time for He Shen!

In the days since He Shen came back, in addition to Jiang Yunling and Schneider who kept reporting his online grades to He Shen.

Most of his other time was spent dealing with these parents.

Many parents would bring a lot of gifts when they came to visit for the first time.

Especially the first parent, when they came to visit, they knew from somewhere that He Shen liked to eat lollipops, so they gave He Shen a jar of lollipops.

He Shen didn't think much at the time, thinking that a jar of lollipops didn't cost much, probably only a few hundred yuan, so he took out a few hundred yuan and handed it to the parent, and returned to his piano room with the parent's strange expression.

Then...

He Shen was shocked instantly.

He really didn't expect that someone could hide money in a lollipop!

Damn, a lollipop with a hundred yuan in it, and two or three hundred lollipops in it...

He Shen was stunned.

He ran back on the spot and sent back the big jar of lollipops.

He worked hard to watch other people's children play the piano, and then taught him a little bit.

As a result, he didn't take a penny after teaching, and even paid a few hundred yuan.

It is precisely because of this that He Shen is no longer willing to accept any gifts from others.

It's too scary!

He Shen only knew that being a professor at a music school could make money, but he didn't expect it to be so profitable!

A group of people rushed to put money into your hands in order to enter the school.

Of course, those who worked hard to pass the exam must be the majority.

But you have to know that there are nearly 10,000 candidates studying music in a state every year. Even if only 1% of them come to pay, there are still about 100 people who come to He Shen.

One person plays a piece for nearly half an hour, then chats and teaches simply.

He Shen was almost knocked down.

In addition, Jiangzhou Music College knew that He Shen was coming back, so it had already made a pilot opening, which was to absorb a small number of students from the surrounding states to see the specific situation.

This also led to the school's recent work being particularly busy.

Zhou San intentionally or unintentionally let He Shen participate in the operation of the school, so that He Shen's original practice time of only about eight hours was directly compressed to three or four hours.

This was the result of He Shen finding opportunities to practice the piano.

And...

He Shen let his body lie on the sofa, raised his hand tiredly and looked at the information on his mobile phone.

Besides dealing with his parents, he had to make a decision.

Schneider asked him whether he would choose to play some more works and then release an album, or just release the previous works directly.

If he released an album, it would not be enough to rely on his two works that broke through Lv10 and reached the perfect level. He needed to add another one and set a theme for this set of works.

These were not particularly easy tasks!

If he made an album, he would at least need to make a lot of preparations.

But what if he released it directly?

According to Schneider, this might save trouble and increase exposure for a short time, but these works could not be counted into the album.

In other words, his most confident Chopin album would not have Chopin's First Piano Concerto and Chopin's Funeral March just now.

His two top works were all unusable, and it would be good if the album could be sold, not to mention being one of the top pianists in the world.

He Shen felt extremely tired for a while.

He began to think, was his previous decision to promote Chinese music education too much of a joke?

He practiced the piano and taught at the same time...

At least he would need to be a master of time management to barely handle it, right?

He Shen lay on his side on the sofa, threw his phone aside, and reached out to open his system.

When he saw the system page for the first time, He Shen was completely stunned.
