world number one pianist

Chapter 280 From Basement to Attic

After He Shen heard Zhao Shenggang's application, he just nodded slightly without expressing much expression.

After confirming the incident with Zhao Shenggang, He Shen checked it in his memo to ensure that the time of the master class would not conflict with other times, and then hung up the phone.

He didn't care about his performance in the finals of "Sound into the Heart". After all, this thing doesn't really mean much to He Shen.

He just picked up the music score in front of him, put it aside quietly, and went straight to sleep after sorting it out.

During the period of time when He Shen fell asleep, He Shen had no idea that his fans on Weibo were skyrocketing crazily.

After the end of the ten o'clock show, He Shen's Weibo fans ushered in a wave of increasing peaks!

It has been rising to more than 30, and it is barely an extremely strong rapid increase trend, which turns to a slow increase.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Yunling's management team, who was in charge of He Shen's Weibo, also posted a few Weibo at this time.

Through these microblogs, the activity of He Shen's Weibo has increased, and the relationship between fans and He Shen has been enhanced.

And revealed some information about He Shen's upcoming concert tour and the release of a solo album.

For example, He Shen will be on tour in Europe in December.

After that, He Shen may release some albums about Beethoven and Chopin.

These seemingly professional and powerful information immediately caught everyone's attention.

He Shen, who might have been a bit more of a variety show guy, at this moment, completely possesses the demeanor of a top pianist.

For a while, He Shen was in the limelight on the Internet!

However, being out of the limelight and being well-known by everyone brings about contrast.

On the Internet, some people began to compare He Shen and Lang Liangyue, and began to discuss who was stronger and who was weaker between He Shen and Lang Liangyue.

After all, ranking is something that everyone likes very much, especially when you see your favorite character ranked first.

For example, Woods fans like to see Woods's shooter is the best in the world, and JJonak fans like to see others say that JJonak's Zenyatta is the best in the world.

Many fans of He Shen also began to compare He Shen with other top pianists.

Many people on the Internet even quarreled.

I don't know if someone maliciously fueled the flames, and some people compared He Shen with the world's number one pianist in the [-]th century, Horowitz.

It is said that He Shen may be the greatest pianist of the 21st century!

Those words instantly angered some Horowitz fans.

In certain small circles, these people started rubbing against each other.

Try to discuss whether it is He Shenli, or the Horowitz of the last century is stronger!

But none of this had anything to do with He Shen. He slept soundly until the next morning, and habitually went to school to practice basic skills and musicality for nearly three hours. After that, He Shen left school.

The most important thing for him now is to prepare to rent a house and buy a piano.

Before returning to China, He Shen had already started thinking about changing houses.

He Shen actually didn't feel much about living in the basement all the time.

After all, there is nothing wrong with living in the basement all the time.

Normally, I would go to the piano room to practice the piano, and go back to my basement to sleep at night.

The [-]-month-old basement in that place is really pretty good for He Shen.

But the problem is...

The piano in the basement is gone.

And the absence of a piano in the basement is the result of He Shen's long-standing habit, broken...

He Shen has always been used to practicing the piano every morning before he wakes up.

Close your eyes, sit on the piano bench, and let your hands start playing non-stop with its thoughts.

In this way, when you are fully awake, you can get a fully movable hand.

This is He Shen's habit of practicing piano all the time.

Regardless of the circumstances, this has always been the case.

But now...

When He Shen woke up in the morning, every time he habitually planned to get up and throw himself on the piano to play, he failed every time.

It wasn't the sound of music that greeted He Shen, but the sound of a slap, falling down on the floor.

This feeling of disappointment made He Shen feel particularly uncomfortable.

But now if He Shen is asked to rent a piano again, he is not particularly willing.

After all, this He Shen wanted to get a better piano, and it was obviously a bit of a waste to put this piano in this kind of place.

Therefore, buying a new piano is also very important!
Although the piano in the school has always been used by He Shen, it is the property of the school after all, not He Shen's own, and he will definitely need a piano that belongs to He Shen in the future.

Therefore, He Shen decided to rent a new house and rent a house near the school within one day!
After renting a house, I looked for an opportunity to buy a piano.

He Shen nodded slightly to every student in the school who was greeting him, and then walked quickly to the subway entrance near the school. At the bank near the subway entrance, he inserted his bank card into it and confirmed the above. value.

He Shen looked at the data in front of him, counted for a while, and then nodded slightly.

One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million!
He Shen's bank card already has just over 100 million in cash!
Before He Shen took classes with Zhao Zitong, he earned about tens of thousands, and his salary in the school was also about tens of thousands.

The two add up to almost one hundred thousand.

He Shen glanced at the bill, and didn't know how Wednesday managed to get him a 40% salary reduction even when he didn't come to work.

Although there are only a few thousand a month, but after four years, I haven't moved a penny, and I have saved nearly more than 15, nearly [-].

I got 25 buyout money from the place where Xu Yuqi was a replacement.

There is also a little follow-up box office dividend.

This dividend is relatively low, only about [-], which is equivalent to the director's personal thanks to He Shen.

After all, if there is no He Shen, their movie should not be able to reach that level.

And Xu Yuqi also paid He Shen a sum of money later, probably for the class, and it was about [-].

The two add up to almost 50!
He Shen won the 20 euros of the Chopin International Piano Competition in Europe. After deducting the previous expenses in Europe, there was probably less than [-] euros left. He Shen exchanged foreign exchange and barely got [-] euros.

In the end, there were some other odds and ends of money, some money that He Shen didn't know where to get it from.

But depending on the time, it is probably some income after I won the Chopin International Piano Competition.

The money is almost one hundred thousand or so.

One hundred thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred and fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, one hundred thousand.

He Shen looked at the money on the bank card in front of him, feeling a little dazed for a while.

I don't know when, from a person who can't even pay the rent to a man who already has nearly 100 million savings!
He Shen looked at the money in front of him, didn't know what to say for a moment, couldn't help but sighed, and picked up his mobile phone.

He got on the phone with an intermediary he had already contacted before.

The phone beeped three times, and the intermediary's voice came from the other end of the phone immediately.

"Hello? This is the housing agency, you are..."

"He Shen, I made an appointment with you before, and I want to see the house today!"

Although He Shen's tone trembled slightly, he continued to speak smoothly.

"I told you before that I need a house for rent."

"Rent a house? Huh? Wait..."

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a while, and after some sounds of flipping through books came out, he immediately said, "He Shen, right? I have your information here, and you want a house with particularly good sound insulation? "

"Yes." He Shen nodded: "It's best that I don't need to do additional sound insulation."

"Okay, my information here has been sorted out. I will send you the address and related content. You can send me the room you want to go to. I will contact the landlord. You can go directly to it later. Just wait for me there!"

The intermediary on the other end of the phone exchanged a few words with He Shen, then hung up the phone.

After a while, He Shen also received a message from the agency on his mobile phone.

According to the news, there are a total of five houses, all of which are in various places.

However, it is relatively uniform, which is what He Shen requested before.

The house in this place must be located near Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music.

He Shenzai took a closer look.

The houses with good sound insulation are basically those that have just been built. All of these houses have been treated with sound insulation in advance, so the sound insulation of these houses is very good.

Or... At least it is much better than the sound insulation effect of those old houses.

And it's not that there are no old houses. In the information given to He Shen by the agency, there is also an old house.

However, this old house may be a bit too demanding for He Shen.

This house is a villa with three floors and about seven or eight rooms.

The rent is [-] a month.

He Shen did some calculations, and if he had no extra income from his current savings, if he didn't hold concerts or sell records, he would probably only be able to make money and not be able to balance it at all.

Unless I go to the entertainment industry in the future and accept some expensive advertisements, the kind of advertisements that are several million less.

Otherwise, it is really difficult to afford the rent.

After all, university professors don't have much money if they don't have extra money.

Especially music teachers.

However, if He Shen wanted to let go of his figure and accept students in class, he would definitely be able to earn more than 2000 yuan per class.

Even more than 2000 yuan is not necessarily enough to go deep.

After all, the course of the world champion, the deputy director of the piano department of Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, the course of the associate professor.

Do you want to go up for 2000 yuan?

Lang Liangyue's courses are worth more than ten thousand, so He Shen is only worth two thousand?
It's a pity that He Shen is currently not willing to accept students.

His requirements for students are mainly expensive and not expensive.

If he could receive some students he was satisfied with, he would just charge a few hundred yuan to make a point.

If you can't get it, forget it.

After all, Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting are enough to annoy me.

Especially when He Shen thought that he would teach these two little kids about the game in the future, He Shen felt even more headache.

He Shen looked at this villa, although he was very moved, but he happily excluded it.

Sorry, poor, no money, farewell!

He Shen turned his gaze to other houses.

What remains is a high-rise building on the 18th floor, a room with a penthouse on the sixth floor, an ordinary third-floor middle-floor house, and a first-floor house on the lowest floor.

There are generalizations for basically every type of house.

After looking at these houses, He Shen thought about it, and decided to rent the room with the roof on the sixth floor.

After He Shen sent the information about the house to the agent, he walked quickly towards the subway entrance, followed the directions on the map in his hand, and came to the gate of the community of that house.

This is a community five kilometers away from Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music.

If you walk directly instead of taking the subway, you can walk to the school in less than an hour.

But if you take the bus or subway at the door, you can arrive at the school within ten minutes.

And this time, the corresponding price is also slightly high.

When He Shen walked to the gate of the community, the agent was already standing there, quickly researching the specific situation of the house, raising his head from time to time to see when He Shen would arrive.

Soon, when He Shen approached, the intermediary's eyes lit up suddenly, and he walked quickly to He Shen, smiling with a professional smile on his face.

"Hello, Mr. He, I am the agent of Anju Housing. Come, follow me this way first, everything has been arranged."

After all, he took He Shen and walked into the community.

At the guard at the entrance of the community, he took out the access control card he had prepared in his hand and swiped it, smiled at the guard, and led He Shen into the community.

The intermediary said as he walked.

"The greening and security of this community are well done. This property management company has a very good reputation throughout Ningcheng. You can rest assured that the surrounding area is relatively quiet, especially suitable for living."

He Shen looked around and nodded involuntarily.

As the intermediary said, although this is a newly built community, it is not the kind of community that has just been built and has no people.

This community is actually a community that has been built for about five or six years, and the overall supporting facilities are basically complete.

Especially the greening in the community.

He Shen just glanced at it casually, and found that most of the entire community was covered by green plants.

Coupled with the summer sun.

The feeling of the broken shadows of the sun on the ground made He Shen feel particularly comfortable.

At least, at least it feels good to walk under the green plants in summer.

The agent seemed to be very familiar with this place. He took He Shen to walk around several corners among the houses surrounded by green plants, and finally reached the house He Shen wanted in the deepest part of the community. houses.

There is not much difference between the house and the surrounding houses. They are all small buildings with a height of six floors. The roof is not like other square roofs, but there is a platform on it.

The roofs of these buildings are all made into slopes.

The agent took He Shen to the sixth floor. Just when the agent was about to introduce the internal structure of the house, He Shen suddenly said.

"Let's go upstairs first."

"Rooftop? Huh? Oh, oh, ok..."

The agent nodded blankly, not knowing why He Shen suddenly wanted to look at the roof first.

Although it is said that the roof of the house is given that roof.

It's called an attic.

But how can anyone come up and look at the attic first, and what he rents is not an attic, isn't he renting this house?
Although there was a lot of confusion in his heart, the intermediary still took He Shen to the roof according to He Shen's idea.

The roof is sloping, and there are two large windows on the roof. Sunlight can be taken in from the two windows, and the overall lighting is perfect.

There is even a small door on the roof, and beside this small door, there is a long and narrow balcony where you can go out and breathe some fresh air.

He Shen only made a rough estimate of the overall floor height. The highest place is about the height of a two-story building.

But unfortunately because of the inclination, the shortest place is almost the same as the normal floor height.

The whole is a trapezoidal shape.

At this moment, the intermediary spoke in a particularly timely manner.

"Mr. He, the landlord has specially heated the roof and attic of this place, and it also has sound insulation. You don't have to worry about disturbing other people when you have a party in this place. You can use it as you like."

"And you see that the sun is so good, you can lie on the floor and watch the stars at night, it's very romantic!"

"The landlord has also done special treatment for waterproofing and reinforced the waterproof performance, so you don't have to worry too much about the problem of water seepage in the house."

"and also……"

Before the intermediary finished speaking, He Shen spoke directly without any hesitation.

"Just this place."

"Huh? Just this place? Do you just want the attic or..." The agent was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react.

Before he showed He Shen to see the room below, He Shen told himself directly that he wanted this place.

For a moment, he couldn't figure out what He Shen was thinking.

He Shen didn't feel it, he said while walking casually in the attic.

"You sent me the news about the house below. It is a two-bedroom, one-living room, about [-] square meters. My requirements for accommodation are actually not high. Most importantly, I need a large house that can accommodate me. studio used."

Standing in the attic, He Shen couldn't help nodding slightly as he looked at the attic, which was about 60 square meters.

Although the two windows above the attic may make the whole house very hot in summer.

He had already seen that the central air conditioner on the side was working non-stop, barely making the room slightly cooler.

But it has nothing to do with it, just turn it on when the time comes, and the electricity bill is not particularly expensive.

After all, I may want to put a piano in this place in the future...

No, if possible...

He Shen narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't intend to just get a piano.

He Shen wanted to temporarily make this place his own studio.

If you can……

He Shen plans to place a small home grand piano in this place first.

Then on the side, put another Yamaha electronic recording grand piano!
Although the electronically recorded grand piano feels hard, it can be used as a normal piano.

The biggest advantage of this type of electronic grand piano is that it can be recorded!

The most original sound is recorded directly from the mechanical transmission structure and electronic signal inside the piano, which can make recording more convenient.

and……

If it is still possible, He Shen also plans to buy two ordinary upright pianos to play with.

In the future, I will definitely not be the only one to use this place. If there are students who want to come to class in the future, they can use the upright performance demonstration by themselves and let the students play with the grand piano.

Although it is impossible for him to turn this place into a recording studio.

But this place is definitely enough for him to take lessons, practice the piano, and live in it!
He Shen looked at the attic of about [-] or [-] square meters, and the main room below about [-] square meters. He Shen had to admit that he was really moved.

He Shen walked downstairs quickly, glanced at the room downstairs, and nodded silently.

There are toilets, bathrooms, bedrooms, and study rooms. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

This room, yes!
Without any hesitation, He Shen looked directly at the agent standing aside and asked.

"How much is this house?"

"Huh? The rent for this house is about 7000 a month. If Mr. He wants to buy this house directly, the market price is about three million..." the agent replied honestly.

"Mr. He, if you want to rent a house now, you need to pay three for one, is that okay?"

He Shen glanced at the bank card in his hand. Although there is no way to directly buy this house boldly, there is still no problem with renting it!
Therefore, without any hesitation, He Shen directly took out the bank card in his hand, put it in front of the writing board in front of the intermediary, and said boldly.

"Yes! Let me rent it for two years first!"

　With 120 million words, He Shen finally moved out of the basement.

　　Congrats, congratulations!
