world number one pianist

Chapter 238 Lv. EX!

After two very familiar people knocked lightly on the door of He Shen's piano room, they 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 froze for a moment, unable to react for a while.

He never thought that these two people would come over.

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

With his hands behind his back, Dan Yi followed behind the two of them with a smile on his face. After they entered the room cautiously, he came out from behind the two of them, walked around to one side, waved lightly at He Shen, and smiled. road.

"How? Didn't expect it? Didn't expect it to be them? I saw them a few days ago when I went to listen to your performance and listened to and analyzed other people's performances. As a result, when I just went out today, I met them Come down and bring them with you."

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

But Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw He Shen like this, and immediately retreated towards the back of the door, saying as he retreated, "Well, let's chat first, catch up on the old days, and ease your master-student relationship, I'll go out and hang around!"

After finishing speaking, Danyi was already standing at the door, he blinked at He Shen, and waved his hands with a smile.

Just a click.

Danyi also carefully closed the door, giving them a very private space where they could have a good chat.

only……

He Shen rubbed his eyebrows with a slight headache, and got 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 is wearing sports clothes that especially set off her figure.

He wore 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! Miss me?"

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

He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Old, teacher, it was Zhao Zitong who insisted on dragging me here. I didn't want to come because I was afraid I would cause you trouble..."

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

Zhao Zitong: "???"

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

"Forget it, sit down."

"OK, all right……"

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

"Well, it's okay, I'll just stand there, don't worry about me, just pretend you didn't hear what she said just now."

"Row."

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

"Why are you here? Where are your parents? You came alone?"

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

When I was in junior high school, I started to travel abroad alone with the team.

When 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 replied cautiously, she slightly raised her head to take a look at He Shen, and when she found that He Shen didn't respond, she lowered her head again.

Listening to Ji Mengting's words, He Shen couldn't help but realize what a daughter of a rich family is!
Solo traveling abroad, cultivated in high school!
On the other hand, He Shen himself, He Shen did not travel abroad alone until he went to university.

And when I went to college, it was difficult for me to be sent out to participate in the competition because of my refusal to compete.

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

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

He Shen looked at Ji Mengting, not knowing what to say, so he turned his gaze to Zhao Zitong who was beside him, and asked casually.

"What about you? Are you alone?"

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

Zhao Zitong snorted reflexively when she saw that He Shen was still not in a good mood towards her, but soon, she suddenly remembered that He Shen was no longer her teacher, and immediately restrained her temper a little bit, inexplicably He spoke with a tone of grievance.

"After you asked me to go to other schools, I listened to you. I came to the Berlin University of the Arts, UdK. I have found a teacher in advance and I am studying with her. She thinks there is no problem for me to enter the university. I just need to learn my language Just learn it well!"

"Well, good, keep working hard."

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

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

Zhao Zitong was able to listen to his advice and come to Germany to study piano, which is still very good.

At least, she has been pursuing progress.

And UdK, the Polish University of the Arts, can be regarded as the most powerful piano professional school in Germany. After she comes here, there must not be many.

In particular, the old professors at the Hannover Conservatory of Music are dying and retiring, and not many people are willing to continue teaching. Berlin University of the Arts can basically be regarded as one of the best choices.

Thinking of this place, He Shen couldn't help but nodded, and said to Zhao Zitong.

"This place is very good. You can continue to study hard there. When the Chopin International Piano Competition is over, I will probably settle down for a while and reorganize and absorb everything in the competition. Maybe I will go to Berlin University of the Arts Let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner then!”

"Huh? Really?" Zhao Zitong was inexplicably depressed at first, but when He Shen said that he might go to Berlin University of the Arts in the future, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he leaned against the wall suddenly Jumping forward, he said excitedly to He Shen.

"Teacher, send it! Send it, send it..."

She was just about to tell He Shen to swear, but she couldn't help but stop, thinking about the relationship between the two of them, she couldn't help coughing, turned her gaze to other places, and opened the mouth pretending not to care about anything.

"Ahem, um, teacher, you can definitely win the championship! I hope I can see you at the Berlin University of the Arts in the future!"

"OK, all right."

He Shen didn't know what Zhao Zitong's "hair" meant, but he didn't think too much about it, and just set his eyes on the piano score.

The two people came in just now, disrupting his thinking about music, and now he can only regain his previous feeling.

He looked at the piano score in front of him, and it didn't take long before that tickling feeling suddenly spread to his heart again, making him feel a little bit uncomfortable.

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting, who were in the room, saw He Shen put his eyes on the music score again, and immediately shut their mouths obediently, and sat aside, watching He Shen flip through the music score.

The room became very quiet.

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

Music, I can't find a point, and I can't understand his thoughts on music.

The unnamed manic depression in his heart made him unable to concentrate his energy well for a while.

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

"Teacher, what's the matter? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Ji Mengting found that there was something wrong with He Shen's state, so she immediately leaned forward and asked He Shen.

He Shen turned his head to look at the two of them, thought for a while, and finally shook his head.

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

"Ok!"

Ji Mengting immediately got up and poured a glass of water for He Shen. Zhao Zitong ran too slowly, so he could only take back his strided legs.

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

He can't find other people to help him with this problem now, only he himself can break through.

Everyone has a different understanding of a piece of work.

Everyone's Chopin is different.

Therefore, even Argerich, or Zimmerman, the world's top pianist, may not be able to help him when he sees his problem.

And let alone righteousness.

But the help Professor Yi can give me is to let me find a direction from ordinary works to masters.

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

Top bosses can't help him, and those top piano teachers can't help him either.

Although, he didn't have many problems in continuing to play.

But the thoughts are not smooth, he can't find what he wants to interpret perfectly, so he can't interpret the music thoroughly.

And the idea of ​​not being smooth enough may be a hidden danger in the game.

In the process of playing, I suddenly reflect on whether I have played this part correctly, which will lead to hidden dangers of performance failure.

And there are only two or three days left before the competition.

The day after tomorrow, it was the time I had agreed with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, and I agreed to conduct a rehearsal, a total of two rehearsals, and within the two rehearsals, I would give all the revision plans and points that need their attention.

Inexplicably, time has become very urgent.

Obviously, I should have interpreted this piece of work very well and prepared very well, but why...

I actually feel that my thoughts are not smooth?

Normally, it shouldn't be, but...

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

He felt that he might break through Lv.EX, which is the highest level of interpretation in Chopin's piano works.

Starting from Lv0, each realm is three complete realms.

Lv0-2, the uninitiated stage.

Lv2-5, entry level.

Lv6-8, specialization level.

Lv9-10, master level!

There should be a Lv. EX behind, the pinnacle level.

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

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

Let yourself become Chopin and play Chopin's piano works.

If you think about it in this way, you should have completely stripped yourself of your existence now, and you should be Lv. EX now, not the peak of Lv10?
He Shen didn't know, the more he looked at the score now, the more chaotic he felt.

The more I feel that I can't play the piano.

Thinking of this place, he felt a little confused about it.

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

He Shen's breath gradually became heavy, and his eyes kept staring at the marked score in front of him, thinking frantically about everything about music.

It's just that his appearance, in the eyes of others, doesn't look right.

It's like being sick.

"Teacher, teacher? What's wrong with you, teacher?" Ji Mengting found that something was wrong with He Shen, and immediately stretched out her hand to push him.

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

Want to get close to He Shen, but dare not approach He Shen.

Dare to stand behind Ji Mengting, looking at He Shen with great worry, and took out his mobile phone.

Be prepared to call an ambulance if anything goes wrong.

Although it may cost 1000 euros to call an ambulance, this is not the time to worry about money!

After two or three pushes, He Shen didn't respond. He was still thinking about the music, looking for the key point to break the game.

But Ji Mengting backed away forcefully, and when He Shen's body was almost overturned, the sense of weightlessness made He Shen slowly come back from thinking.

He took a few breaths, first glanced at who was pushing him, and after finding out that it was Ji Mengting, he didn't think much about it. He continued to look at the music score in front of him, held back and opened it again, and continued to think about the music. thought.

Now if you continue to turn over the music score, there is only one possibility with a high probability, and that is to continue to indulge in it, and then you can't find the key point to break through, and continue to be trapped in that state.

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

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

"No, it's okay, I just fell in love with music just now, so that's why."

"Mr. He, when you were in Xiao Sai, were you under so much pressure? You can still think about music so much that you're 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 your Xiao Sai's pianists are like this? Will they also go crazy in the process of preparing for the competition?"

"It's possible to go crazy. When Li Diyun was in Xiao Sai, he used to stand on the roof of the hotel, about the fifth or sixth floor, looking at the downstairs. The pressure was so great that he wished he could just jump down like this. to die!
No more going to the Chopin International Piano Competition!
only……"

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

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

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

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

"Is that so..."

Ji Mengting closed her mouth, not daring to continue speaking.

The same was true for Zhao Zitong who was sitting on the side. She looked at He Shen and dared not say anything more, for fear of affecting He Shen's thinking.

The atmosphere continued to be dull like this, Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting felt that they really came at the wrong time.

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

After all, both of them are He Shen's students, so it's normal for them to come to help He Shen relieve his stress.

After the two of them thought for a while, they felt that there was no problem. He Shen had already entered the finals, and his previous scores were among the best among all the contestants. The first in the previous rounds.

As long as there are no accidents later, then He Shen should have no problems.

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

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

Then...they are tragic.

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

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

They even chatted in the car before, saying that don't care too much about the first thing, music is 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 non-stop.

His pressure was not given to him by the outside world, nor was it given to him by No.1 pressure.

But music!

He Shen was looking for a direction that would allow him to break through in music.

It was a field they had never been in contact with, and they had no idea what effect it would have if it was played in that way.

Therefore, they couldn't find any way to get He Shen out of this state.

Ji Mengting frantically gave Zhao Zitong winks, beckoning her to come up with a little solution.

But Zhao Zitong had no way at all, she looked at Ji Mengting with an expression of helplessness.

After the two of them made eye contact for a long time, when He Shen was about to start thinking about music again, Ji Mengting suddenly stood up and said to He Shen.

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

"Teacher, if my guess is correct, you have been staying in the piano room for the past few days during the Chopin International Piano Competition?"

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

"If you are willing, teacher..."

"Why don't we go and see together?"

He Shen slowly raised his head when he heard their voices.
