world number one pianist

Chapter 202 The Secret to Winning the Championship——Chopin's Hairstyle!

With the announcement of all the lists, the whole of China, no, it can even be said that the classical music circles of the whole world started to operate.

People in the music circle of each region are beginning to prepare to go to Poland, to Warsaw, to participate in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Enter this top [-] music competition in the world.

As long as you can win in this music competition, it is obvious that you will get the treatment that other musicians cannot enjoy, and have the opportunity to become a top pianist!
At the very least, you can debut right away and become a signed musician!
Only with a classical music agency behind you can you show your talents in the whole world and become a top pianist.

Instead of stumbling around in various places, even if there is a concert, not many people are willing to watch it.

As long as you sign a contract with those large classical music brokerage companies, you will even find that those top pianists who have basically only listened to them online and never met them in person will gradually intersect with your life.

And you'll officially be part of that circle of world-class musicians.

He Shen can only be regarded as the circle of top musicians in China now, and there is no way to enter the circle of top musicians in the world.

Even those people in China who can enter the circle of top musicians in the world are willing to bring He Shen into this circle to meet the big shots in this circle.

Those big shots are not particularly willing to communicate with He Shen.

Unless He Shen's strength, He Shen's understanding of the piano can surpass them, or reach a level that completely convinces them.

It's a pity that Chopin is the only one with He Shen's most outstanding piano ability.

Although the other works are excellent, they are still a little bit far from being a world-class pianist, let alone being recognized by those world-class pianists.

And the world's top bosses...

Basically, one counts as one. Most of them made their way through the four major international piano competitions such as Chopin, and a small part of them made their way through other competitions and concerts.

The rarest one is similar to GG and Glenn Gould, making his debut in the world through his personal records.

Gould was also the first pianist to claim that he hated all audiences.

Only when he is back in the recording studio can he enjoy the music.

Instead of playing my own work in front of those who don't understand music at all, letting their movements interrupt my emotions.

Therefore, this year's strongest Chopin International Piano Competition is the best stage that all pianists dream of!

Since He Shen learned that he had successfully entered the qualifiers of the Chopin International Piano Competition, his daily piano practice time has been shortened a lot, only about half of the usual time.

It looks like practicing seven or eight hours a day, no longer forcing myself to practice more than ten hours a day.

Therefore, He Shen had more time to wander outside and look at this city that he had been here for several months but had never taken a serious look at.

A city with countless, high-level musicians...

Haicheng!

The only city that can compete with Huaguo Conservatory of Music!
He Shen closed the piano, walked to the incomparably huge floor-to-ceiling windows beside the piano room, looked at the city that never sleeps that had begun to light up outside, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, ready to go out for a stroll.

The main reason why He Shen spends so much time wandering around this place every day is that he tries to relax himself a bit.

When you really enter the game, everything will enter the most tense state, and the whole person will tense up instantly, and there will be no chance to relax.

Therefore, now is the last chance, the last chance to relax, a chance to relax a little bit.

He Shen followed Ji Mengting who was standing at the door and nodded, and when motioning for her to follow, he glanced slightly to the side.

Glancing at the ranking list hidden in the corner, it shows his Chopin's ranking.

[No.60 in Jiangzhou, No.[-] in Huaguo, No.[-] in the world]

This is the ranking he achieved after practicing all Chopin's etudes to the peak of Lv10.

There is no way to advance one more, this should be his current peak.

No.60 in the world.

If the world's top Chopin pianists, such as Zimmerman and Argerich, are excluded, He Shen's ranking should be among the top ten among the younger generation.

This is the ranking that He Shen obtained after eliminating all the people in his heart who played Chopin very well.

This ranking is already a very, very bold ranking.

He Shen even guessed that his overall ranking should be around fifteen to twenty.

The main reason why it did not reach the No.1 of the younger generation should be that Chopin's other works did not reach the level of Lv10, but just an ordinary Lv5-Lv8.

And those who can surpass themselves, their Lv6-Lv8 works, that is, the works of the professional level, should be much more than themselves.

The overall situation is slightly better than myself.

What exactly can be achieved, He Shen is not clear...

After all, on He Shen's side, the audio and video recordings obtained from the Haicheng Conservatory of Music are all audio and video recordings made by contestants from all over the world about a year ago.

And these audio and video recordings are the most inaccurate.

He Shen had seen a pianist's performance before. When he participated in the Chopin International Piano Competition, his Chopin Piano Concerto No. 8 was probably like Lv9 close to Lv[-], with some loopholes.

But when he went to participate in the Van Cliburn Competition in the second year, his Chopin Piano Concerto No. 10 directly reached the level of Lv[-]!
The speed of this progress is almost like an epiphany!
He Shen is really not sure that he will definitely get No.1.

but……

He Shen looked at the elevator door that was about to open.

But no matter what, he has to fight to see if he can fight to the death with those true favored ones at the last moment, and win the most precious, the gold medal in the Chopin International Piano Competition!

No.1!
This thing is not easy...

He Shen couldn't help shaking his head, walked to the door, and when he was about to go out, Zhou San happened to be walking towards the inside, saw He Shen, his eyes lit up, walked over quickly, and said to He Shen.

"He Shen, you just came down, and I was going to find you just now."

"It's like this. Your passport has been issued. We have also prepared your ticket to Poland. We will give it to you together on the day you leave."

"Just because you have nothing to do today, let's get a hairstyle!"

After all, Zhou San immediately grabbed He Shen's neighbor and dragged him towards the outside of the school.

There was an ordinary car parked in front of the school, a school car that couldn't find anything wrong with it.

After Zhou San pulled the dazed He Shen into the back seat, he also took advantage of the trend and walked directly down the back seat, waving Ji Mengting to sit in the co-pilot's seat.

After everyone got on the bus, Wednesday handed an address to the driver in front and told him where to go.

Soon, the car under the seat started to start, and He Shen only reacted a little at this time, frowned, and said a little puzzled.

"What hairstyle? Why do you want to have a hairstyle?"

"Of course it's to dress up as Chopin!"

Zhou San spoke to He Shen confidently.

"You know, the Chopin International Piano Competition was even nicknamed the Chopin Cowes Competition before. It's what young people like to play, Cosprey, you know? They like to dress up as characters in anime, they are very beautiful That, that Cosprey!"

"I don't understand these things about you young people. I just heard about them. Don't worry about what you say is wrong."

"Of course, there is absolutely no clear rule in the Chopin International Piano Competition that players must dress like Chopin, but in fact, at least 70% of the people who can win the Chopin International Piano Competition, or 60%? Anyway, it must be more than half many……"

"There are so many people, their hairstyles are basically that kind, Chopin's natural curls!"

"I don't know when it was passed down. In the Chopin International Piano Competition, there were even rumors that only those who have their hair curly like Chopin's naturally curly hair are eligible to win the Chopin International Piano Competition!"

"Of course, this is just a rumor. If you can win the Chopin International Piano Competition just by dressing like Chopin, then why do you want to compete? Are you right?"

"But in the same way, this statement has gradually entered the hearts of those people. If you stick to Chopin, the judges will give you a higher score if you are farther away!"

"Basically, people with a little hair volume will choose to slightly move their hair closer to Chopin's appearance..."

"If someone looks obviously a little different from Chopin, then there's nothing I can do..."

"Maybe the judges gave you a higher score just because you look like Chopin and play like Chopin? Nobody can tell, right?"

"So, anyway, let's get our hair done a little bit, into a Chopin look! Then we pack a little and get ready to go to Poland!"

Speaking of this place, Zhou San couldn't help but look up and down He Shen.

He Shen's body has been well taken care of by Ji Mengting and the others recently. All the specific nutrients he takes in every day have been calculated, and there will be no excess or shortage.

Therefore, the smear on He Shen's face obviously disappeared, and his whole figure became a little bit more normal.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the messy hair on He Shen's head.

Looking at the volume of the broken hair on his head, Zhou San couldn't help touching his brain...

He began to miss the time when he hadn't met He Shen.

At that time, he still had beautiful hair...

Well, though this hair is missing a piece.

But it's still pretty hair!

Now, I am busy with various things, such as overall school internal affairs, dismantling the college in advance, contacting young teachers from other schools, looking for top teachers who can sit in Jiangzhou...

He is also doing work on the Internet to prevent others from setting the School of Music of Jiangzhou Normal University and He Shen too high, so that they can't get down.

All kinds of jobs have caused him to lose all his remaining hair.

Therefore, Zhou San looked at He Shen with envy in his expression.

If only I could have such thick hair again, it would be great...

Soon, the car had reached the downtown area and stopped in front of a hairdressing salon in the downtown area.

As soon as the car stopped, Zhou San immediately pulled He Shen into the barber shop, briefly told the barber about their needs, and asked the barber to help them tidy up.

Ji Mengting followed Wednesday honestly, looking at He Shen who was being pushed around in front of him, she couldn't help being a little curious, and asked Wednesday.

"Principal, that... the whole hairstyle, is it really useful? Do most champions really have this hairstyle?"

"It's true that most champions have this hairstyle, but this hairstyle is completely useless."

Zhou San glanced at Ji Mengting inexplicably, not knowing what she meant, pointed at He Shen, and asked her back.

"Do you think your teacher is only short of one hairstyle? Can you be sure to win the championship with just one more hairstyle?"

"Eh?"

Ji Mengting blinked her eyes, completely useless to understand what Zhou San meant.

Zhou San looked at Ji Mengting, couldn't help but sighed, and explained helplessly.

"This is actually a very simple psychological function, as a psychological sustenance, to relieve He Shen's pressure or something."

"Although He Shen has been taking the initiative to release his pressure recently, in fact, he still feels very tired."

"So instead of letting He Shen continue to go on under such pressure, it is better to take him to relax, get a hairstyle, and change his whole temperament."

"By the way, you've been with him for so long, so it's useless to feel a little pressure?"

Ji Mengting looked at Wednesday, lowered her head slightly embarrassed, and whispered.

"No, I've always felt that it's normal to be under pressure when taking classes with Mr. He..."

"After all, I'm following the teacher in class, so I feel stressed, but it's actually normal, it's not a big deal..."

"So, it's completely useless for me to feel the pressure on Teacher He..."

"..."

Looking at Ji Mengting on Zhou San, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only shake his head and look at He Shen who was getting a haircut in front of him.

It didn't take long for He Shen's hairstyle to become slightly wavy, which was very different from his previous broken hair.

As soon as this hairstyle was changed, that feeling of Chopin came out of He Shen's body in an instant.

Even looking at He Shen on Zhou San, it was useless for a while to tell whether the person in front of him was He Shen or Chopin.

Especially the look in He Shen's eyes...

I didn’t use that feeling before, I just felt that He Shen’s whole person was that kind of ancient well without waves, he didn’t care about anything, he didn’t care about anything, and he didn’t care about things other than music at all.

You can even look into his eyes and feel a sense of peace, that very peaceful feeling.

But it's different now...

Under the decoration of this hairstyle, He Shen's eyes became extremely profound.

There are many, many things in it, which I can't read for a while on Wednesday.

If we were to describe it on Wednesday, it would probably be...

Desperate to leave his hometown, gain a foothold in another place and grow slowly.

But in the process of growing up, I always recall the feeling of my hometown...

If so, in fact, this feeling should be the feeling when Chopin wrote piano etudes?

Ok?
Touching his chin on Wednesday, he immediately rejected this idea in his heart, it must not be Chopin, this should be He Shen's own idea!

He had learned about He Shen's family background with other people from the Conservatory of Music...

Like all those who are very good at playing the piano, they were beaten when they were young, and they gradually grew up under strict high standards.

Later, when he was taking the college entrance examination, his father took him to all the six major music academies in order to cultivate his mentality.

Without any accidents, he all got the grades of piano No.1.

After seeing his son achieve such results, his father took him to the two major music academies.

Not beyond everyone's expectations, He Shen got the No.2 of Huaguo Conservatory of Music and No.1 of Haicheng Conservatory of Music in the school recruitment examination...

All excellent results!
As a result, when signing up, He Shen tried to rebel against his father for the first time and went to Wuzhou Conservatory of Music...

In the middle, a lot of unhappiness happened. He Shen's father even went directly to Wuzhou Conservatory of Music to make trouble, but luckily he was stopped by the school.

This incident had a great impact on He Shen...

After graduating from university, under the coercion of his father, he did not choose to continue his studies in Wuzhou, but chose to return to Jiangzhou from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music.

When returning to his hometown, something may have happened again, which made He Shen run directly from his hometown to Ningcheng, which is where Jiangzhou Normal University is located, to find a part-time job there...

Zhou San didn't know exactly what happened in the middle. He could only know about He Shen's previous affairs at the conservatory through his own people at the conservatory.

He is not a monitor, how could he know what happened to He Shen and his father when he got home.

But, what happened next is just like the emotion expressed in this look...

Leaving from his hometown and gaining a foothold in other places.

But I still pay attention to the situation in my hometown, and want to prove to my parents in my hometown that I am a very strong pianist!
The pressure from the family, the pressure from the school, the pressure from the Chinese public opinion...

It turned out that He Shen was under so much pressure...

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

Standing aside, Ji Mengting looked at Zhou San inexplicably, not quite clear why he sighed.

Zhou San took a step forward, reached out and patted He Shen's shoulder, restrained all the previous emotions, and spoke to He Shen very solemnly.

"He Shen, come on, don't be nervous, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"I know that what I'm saying now is actually useless to you, because it's you who really participated in the competition, not us, and we can't provide you with any help!"

"We can only help you, on the way to the world's number one pianist, to reduce a little bit of material troubles, such as visas, air tickets to Warsaw, hotels..."

"Apart from this, we have no ability to help you with other things. Even if we give in now, don't be so nervous. In fact, we all know that these are all bullshit, and I know all of them!"

"But... I still want to say it!"

"He Shen, relax, don't put too much pressure on yourself!"

"All of us believe in you!"

"You can definitely achieve your goals! Go where you really want to go!"

"Become...a real pianist!"

　I finally have internet!You can type on the computer!
　　This feeling is really great!

　　Start recovery today

　　After taking a look, I owe 6k words, I feel that I can work hard on Sunday to make up for this thing...

　　It's so weird to watch myself change from 9 daily updates to [-]k daily updates...
