The world's number one pianist

Compared to the previous Kyohei Fantian at the Chopin International Piano Competition, the Kyohei Fantian we saw this time was more relaxed.

He didn't have a lot of burdens in life and other aspects.

He could put everything he had back on music and no longer have to worry about so many things outside of music.

Kyohei Fantian formed a small orchestra, and he served as the chief conductor and piano.

His idea of ​​participating in the Chopin International Piano Competition was originally just to win an award in this competition, so that the people in his music team could get a better development.

All the invited young musicians in his small orchestra were particularly strong from Japan.

These people have one characteristic, that is, they all have a particularly strong drive for music.

They are willing to give everything they have for music!

This is why Kyohei Fantian is willing to give other people in his team to keep moving towards the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Compared with Kyohei Fantian, He Shen is a little selfish.

He Shen helped Zhou San to establish Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, and for other students in Jiangzhou, he wanted to get a good backing and march towards the Chopin International Piano Competition.

And Fan Tian Kyohei only marched towards the Chopin International Piano Competition for some of his musician friends and for his small group of musicians.

Bruce Liu, that is, Liu Yu, he seemed to be just for his teacher!

However, there is a relatively consistent point that everyone's state of mind has changed a little after experiencing the Chopin International Piano Competition.

For example, He Shen's pursuit of music has become deeper. He is more willing to immerse himself in music rather than under the pressure of fame and fortune.

Fan Tian Kyohei is a little more relaxed. His music team has been running, and he doesn't need to work so hard to open up a new world for his team.

There are some other people.

Therefore, after a few years, everyone's impression of others has also changed a lot!

For example, now.

Fan Tian Kyohei's aura is not the oppressive aura before, but seems particularly cheerful!

Maybe it's because the burden has been lifted?

Kyohei Fantian took He Shen to the city center of Hamamatsu City and found a self-service barbecue restaurant with all-you-can-eat barbecue and drinks, that is, self-service, and walked in.

In this restaurant, in addition to He Shen and Kyohei Fantian, there are other members of Kyohei Fantian's musician team. They have come here a long time ago, waiting for Kyohei Fantian's arrival!

They saw Kyohei Fantian coming in and immediately waved their hands vigorously, saying: "Fanta! Here, here!"

"Come on, I'll take you to meet the members of my music team! MLM Orchestra!" Kyohei Fantian looked at his friends and couldn't help but smile. He took He Shen to sit down and introduced them one by one.

MLM Orchestra was founded by Kyohei Fantian before participating in the Chopin International Piano Competition. All the people in it are the strongest musicians of the younger generation in Japan.

But they are not a particularly strong classical music orchestra. They are actually a chamber music orchestra.

Compared with other orchestras, this classical orchestra is smaller in size, and the works it plays are not as large as those of other orchestras.

Therefore, the people in this orchestra are more intimate than those in other classical orchestras.

Everyone is a friend, not an ordinary colleague or other relationship.

Kyohei Fantian introduced the situation of all the others to He Shen one by one, and the people in the classical orchestra also smiled friendly at He Shen.

Everyone is an ordinary friend, and there is no such thing as a particularly arrogant person.

Therefore, everyone is very friendly. After Kyohei Fantian introduced them, he also greeted He Shen in English.

After everyone got to know each other, Kyohei Fantian did not let the friends in the music orchestra around the table wait for him to say something like other leaders.

Instead, he directly picked up the wine glass that the waiter had just brought over, raised it to everyone, and said with a smile.

"Okay, no more talking, let's eat!"

"Oh! Great! Let's eat!"

Everyone immediately raised their glasses and cheered, and then followed Kyohei Tanda, drank more than half of the entire liter of beer in one breath, and then revealed a refreshing voice.

Then, without any restraint, they picked up the chopsticks very comfortably and ate casually.

Kyohei Tanda and He Shen did the same.

After everyone ate for a while, Kyohei Tanda suddenly spoke to He Shen intentionally or unintentionally.

"By the way, since you are here this time, do you want to sit in the judges' seat? Look at this competition as a judge?"

"Judge?" He Shen picked up a piece of meat and asked casually.

Kyohei Tanda immediately explained: "Yes, judges, there are many very powerful judges in this Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, such as Nobuyuki Tsujii before, and me, as well as some classical music pianists from your country, South Korea, all came to this place."

"If you want, you can join these people and become a judge of our Hamamatsu International Piano Competition!"

"Well..." He Shen did not agree immediately, but thought about it and refused: "Forget it, I will just take my students to compete in the competition. The judges will forget it..."

After saying that, He Shen didn't hesitate at all, and immediately changed the topic and asked Kyohei Tanda: "By the way, I want to get two piano rooms, okay? I need a room to practice piano."

"Piano room? What kind of piano room?" Kyohei Tanda asked immediately.

He Shen thought for a while and asked hesitantly: "What kind of piano room can you build? I want a piano room that I can live in, so that I can let my students practice in it for a while. There is no need to sleep somewhere else, but you can just take a short rest in the piano room and then start practicing in the afternoon. "

"After all, you know that maintaining touch during the game is the most important thing. I don't want them to improve to any level before the game. I just hope they can practice a little more!"

Tanda Kyohei touched the mustache on his chin and thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "Looking at it this way, an ordinary piano room does not seem to meet your needs. It is best to have a single room with a A piano is the best!”

"In this case, it's a bit like the piano studio I set up in Warsaw."

"A very small room. Except for the sleeping, toilet and bathing area, all other spaces are occupied by the piano. There are no other unnecessary items!"

"If you need this kind of piano room, then I can help you find it!"

"If you don't want this kind of piano room, and you just want to lie down in the piano room for a while and take a lunch break, you can go to the officials of the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition. They have piano rooms for rent. , uh, I can give you a good rest!”

“After all, compared to pianos from other places, the official piano feels closer to the feel of playing on stage!”

"Pianos from other places, such as the ones you rent, may have a few problems. After all, you made the piano alone, and it won't feel particularly similar to the one on stage!"

"If you want to rent a house and put a piano in it, I can come and help you and help you find a particularly good piano room that can be used to put a piano in it!"

"Or, I also have some other small studios here. If you don't mind, I can rent them to you, but the pianos there are definitely different from those on the stage. I prefer to use Yamaha's pianos here. , and although there are Yamaha pianos on stage, most people actually use other pianos, such as Steinway and Fazioli!”

He Shen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Tanda Kyohei's speech.

He looked at Kyohei Tanda and thought of the scene when he was in Warsaw, and instantly lost the desire to speak.

He Shen originally just wanted to ask Kyohei Tanda if he had any recommendations for any other piano shops that were better for pianos.

After all, the piano store he rented in Warsaw was just an ordinary piano store. He practiced piano there, basically just practicing there. He sat on a chair to take a short rest at noon, and continued practicing in the afternoon.

At night, I went back to my hotel to sleep.

But seeing what Kyohei Tanda said, He Shen realized how poor his behavior at that time was!

Perhaps, neither he nor Professor Danyi realized how poor their behavior was at that time!

They rent a piano, rent a piano from a music store, and practice casually.

But what about everyone else? All the others actually rented an apartment in Warsaw.

Then rent another piano in the house!

What a concept this is!

And many people did not come to Warsaw just before the competition to prepare for the Chopin International Piano Competition. They had already come to Warsaw to prepare for the Chopin International Piano Competition before the competition!

Basically, all of them had stayed in Warsaw for more than half a year and had become completely familiar with Warsaw before they started competing.

The gap between the two...

He Shen couldn't help but have a headache, if he had been in poor health at that time.

In other words, my body is still the same as when I just met Zhao Zitong.

If he had gone directly to Warsaw to perform, he would have definitely died in an unknown way!

Being acclimatized is enough to kill him!

When he was on stage, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. This may have caused some problems in his performance.

When this kind of problem occurs, the best result is a decline in performance. For example, those who pass the test with perfect scores may become overachieving.

If you are unlucky, you may be eliminated from the Chopin International Piano Competition just like the little Russian girl before you!

Thinking of this place, He Shen couldn't help but sigh.

Although we have attached great importance to this game, it is a pity that we still do not pay enough attention to it!

It would be nice if we could pay more attention to it...

But isn't it too late?

After He Shen thought for a moment, he said to Kyohei Tanda: "In that case, let's rent a small house. Is there a house with two rooms and two grand pianos? Or three or four rooms with pianos?"

"Three or four rooms?" Kyohei Tanda was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly: "Are you sure? The price is a bit expensive..."

"How much?" He Shen was also stunned for a moment.

"More than 100,000 yen, right? I'm not sure. It seems to be a house of about 100 square meters. Including your piano, the monthly rent is almost more than 100,000 yen, nearly 200,000?"

After Tandada Kyohei thought about it, he said to He Shen: "Because there is a piano inside, and coupled with the unique housing prices here in Japan, they are basically the same price, and it is very likely that they will not rent it to you for a short period. I choose to rent it to you for a long time!”

"Instead of renting a house like this, you might as well rent two small rooms, about 20 to 30 square meters, and just put a piano in it. You don't need to cook in it anyway!"

"There are some other things, it all depends on your personal needs, but I think a small house of twenty or thirty square meters should be enough!"

"Then there is also the rent of the piano. I can help you negotiate with Shanye, or you can go directly to negotiate on your own. After all, you are already considered a relatively famous pianist in the world, especially the top one in Asia. Pianist, I think you can get a better deal from Yamaha Company!”

"It's just a pity that you are not a Yamaha pianist. If you were a Yamaha pianist, Yamaha should be able to give you a piano directly for you to use! Instead of renting a piano..."

"Alas, it's still such a pity. Recently, there are more and more official pianists, and now you can only try out one piano for free. If it was before, maybe a few decades ago, right?"

"For example, pianists in the Horowitz era didn't need to rent a piano at all. They could have Steinway customize a piano for them!"

"The top pianists at that time could easily get specially customized pianos from piano shops. All those pianos had a very close connection with those pianists, and could even be seen as a continuation of the pianist's body!"

"These piano companies nowadays are really getting more and more stingy!"

Tanda Kyohei complained while eating.

He reached out and picked up a piece of meat, placed it on the rice, and swallowed it.

I even ordered a bowl of noodles specifically.

Carbohydrates and carbohydrates, Japan is a perfect match!

Feeling the carbohydrates in his mouth, Kyohei Tanda showed a satisfied look.

He Shen looked at Tanda Kyohei in front of him, watching him eating in a way that went against Chinese eating habits. The corners of his mouth twitched. He didn't know what to say, so he could only take out a lollipop from his pocket and stuff it into his mouth. When not seen.

It turns out that you can choose to become the official pianist of a piano company, such as Yamaha Pianist. By becoming their pianist, you can directly obtain the right to use Yamaha pianos.

No one had ever told him these things.

Originally, He Shen planned to go to those retail stores to find some stores that specialized in selling Steinway or Yamaha, and go there to rent a piano or something.

Now it seems that you can use your identity to look for cooperation in Yamaha's factory.

He Shen thought for a while and said to Kyohei Tanda: "Okay, then let's rent two piano rooms. It's best to have two rooms connected together. A room that is closer and one where you can sleep directly in it is better! "

Tandada Kyohei nodded: "Then it'll be pretty much the same as my previous layout, right? I'll help you find a piano company later, ask them if there is any demand there, and see if I can help you find some pianos. I’ll contact you tonight and I’ll give you a reply tomorrow!”

"OK!"

He Shen nodded in agreement, and Tanda Kyohei was not surprised at all. The two quickly agreed on some other details, such as whether some living facilities were needed in the room.

After confirming all the details, Tanda Kyohei nodded and sent these details to another person via text message.

One of his friends who is in charge of a real estate agency!

After all, he is just an ordinary pianist, not a real estate agent.

Now that he is able to do this, it is already very good. The matter of choosing a house will be left to the real estate agent friend for the time being!

As for choosing the piano later, he will make the arrangements.

There is still a little time before the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, so I am not in a particular hurry!

If you are in a hurry, you can practice in other piano rooms first, and then return to your own small room when those subsequent rooms are ready.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, Tanda Kyohei immediately raised his glass, celebrated with everyone one last time, and then got dressed and went to the toilet.

Just as Tanda Kyohei left, the door of the barbecue restaurant opened, and a young man, probably in his teens, walked in from the door.

Behind him, followed another sassy girl.

Looking at these two people, He Shen always felt out of place in this environment, but he didn't know exactly where he was out of place.

Therefore, He Shen just glanced at them and shook his head, not paying much attention to them.

Just when he finished the last piece of meat and was about to pack up and leave, Kyohei Tanda came back from the toilet and looked at the two children who just walked by, his eyes couldn't help but shine.

He could not walk up to He Shen, looked at the two little kids behind He Shen who were ordering food, and said casually.

"By the way, we are very lucky this time. We actually met the player who is considered the favorite to win the championship by Japan before the game!"

"Who?" He Shen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look behind him, at the two little brats!

Kyohei Tanda said casually: "That's the Nakamura Shiro I told you before!"

"If I'm not wrong, he should be following his girlfriend, Kuroba Mashiro, right?"

"Hey, I have long heard that Kuroba Mashiro was also a girl in the kendo club before. Later, because of Nakamura Haku, she switched from the kendo club to the piano club. If you look at it from a distance, Kuroba Mashiro has a really good figure. Not bad, I don’t know where Shiro Nakamura’s charm comes from…”

Kyohei Tanda shook his head, and after dissipating the drunkenness in his mind, he stood up with a smile: "Okay, let's go back first. No matter how much, we will know the true strength of Shiro Nakamura when the game starts!"

"It is said that Shiro Nakamura is called the Piano Demon King in Japan because his song Liszt's Demon King shocked everyone, and that's why he earned the title of Piano Demon King!"

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect to be able to see him once before the game..."

Kyohei Tanda shook his head, stood up unsteadily, laughed and joked with the others in his MLM band, turned around and walked to check out, preparing to leave.

He Shen also got dressed, turned his head and took a serious look at Nakamura Shiro, who was ordering food and hugging Kuroba Mashiro, and pinched his eyebrows.

This person is a bit weird.

Asking for a monthly ticket! ! !
