world number one pianist

Chapter 330 Experiment, Piano!
Soon, Fantian Gongping helped He Shen settle the matter of Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting's piano practice room.

He found two houses far away, near the Yamaha factory.

Then, after discussing with Yamaha, two grand pianos were placed inside.

The overall house is about [-] square meters, and the interior layout is very simple.

In addition to a sofa that can sleep, and a separate bathroom and bathroom, there is only one piano.

A piano is placed in the middle of the room!

Other than that there are no other items!
I can only practice the piano and study!
Looking at the furnishings in the room, He Shen nodded with great satisfaction, and didn't say much. After arranging the two of Ji Mengting and Zhao Zitong, he no longer particularly cared about their piano practice.

Except for listening to the overall situation of the two of them every day, there are no more restrictions on the two of them at other times.

Let them freely display their normal strength.

And He Shen also conducted a little research on other contestants during this time.

It's just like Soda Kyohei said.

The entire Hamamatsu International Piano Competition has reached a very difficult level this time!

Because of the last Chopin International Piano Competition, it directly gave other Dongying players and Bangzi players more hope for classical music. They feel that they can also do it!
After all, in the last Chopin International Piano Competition, No.1 He Shen, No.2 Liu Yu, and No.3, it was Tanda Kyohei!

A Chinese, a Chinese of Maple Leaf nationality, and a Dongying player!

The contestants from Asia won the top three immediately!
Therefore, countless people began to march towards the Chopin International Piano Competition frantically!

Except for some players who have been submitted to the Chopin International Piano Competition, all the other players, all the players from the Asian side, all came to Hamamatsu, wanting to see if they have the ability to win the championship!
If you can win the championship here in Hamamatsu, then it will be much easier to win the championship at the Chopin International Piano Competition.

The most important thing is to release the psychological pressure of the whole person.

It is precisely because of this that He Shen has obtained videos of countless classical music players from various other places.

He Shen watched their videos and analyzed their strengths and weaknesses.

Then, tell Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting about their strengths and weaknesses, and help them win the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition with a more relaxed attitude!

He Shen kept watching the videos of those people, and after all the videos were delivered, Kohei Fantian never came over again.

Leave He Shen a special quiet space.

Let He Shen think carefully about how to target other players!

Those who are likely to win the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition!

Because He Shen didn't play in person, compared with him playing directly, there are more possibilities for Zhao Zitong and others to play!
More chances of failure!
Therefore, He Shen looked at those opponents very seriously, and was unwilling to let go of any details!

As He Shen's research on those players became more and more careful, he also built an image of those players as a whole!

Especially those who are qualified to win the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition...

He Shen listened to their music and felt their interpretation of music. He became more and more clear about those people's thoughts in music, and he became more and more able to understand how those people interpreted music!
And as time goes by...

He Shen also gradually thought of how to use the characteristics of these people to target these people!
Let those people, because of their characteristics or shortcomings, fall under the hands of He Shen, Zhao Zitong and others!

He Shen looked at the video tape in his hand, looked at the performers he marked, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

There was no trace of a smile, and the whole person was extremely calm.

He didn't tell anyone about it, except for the one who gave him the videotape, Kohei Tanada, who probably knew a little bit about it, no one else knew what He Shen was thinking and what kind of performance he had made. plan!
Nobody!
Including... Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting!

……

Time soon came to the eve of the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition. The sky in Hamamatsu City was particularly blue, and the weather was extremely clear and elegant. Just looking at it casually, the whole person's mood will become particularly good.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting had packed themselves up and walked out of their piano room.

They haven't left the piano room for the past few days, and He Shen helps to handle all the daily food and drink.

Therefore, because they haven't seen the sun outside for several days, they even turned a little pale.

After the two came out of the room, they glanced at each other, and couldn't help showing a hint of relief.

Practicing in the piano room and practicing special skills for the competition, they are all going crazy.

Practice non-stop every day.

Now, they can finally come out to get some air and prepare for the competition.

For a moment, the expression on his face was extremely sighing.

However, before they could sigh, He Shen came over. He took a look at the two of them, especially at their expressions. After a serious look, he nodded casually.

"Okay, since you are all ready, let's report directly."

"Eh!!!"

After He Shen finished speaking, he walked straight out of the house. After Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting glanced at each other, they sighed helplessly, and followed quickly.

Today is not a game day, today is the day before the game day.

This day is dedicated to these contestants to choose pianos.

The Hamamatsu International Piano Competition is comparable to the Chopin International Piano Competition, and as an outpost of the Chopin International Piano Competition, the pianos used in it are the same as the Chopin International Piano Competition, with four pianos.

Yamaha, Steinway, Kawaii, and Fazioli!

Even the models are similar!
It seems that there is no need to choose, basically it is what piano you take in this competition, or what piano you usually choose, so in the competition, you can choose which piano!
But this is not the case. The more powerful the piano, the more they are willing to finish and tune it by hand.

The overall feel level is basically not exactly the same!

It can even be said that the feel of each one is different!
Therefore, when choosing a piano, in addition to choosing the corresponding brand tone, there is another point, which is to choose a piano that matches your own feel!
If you don't care much about the feel of these pianos, then you only need to care about the tone and the expression of music!
Originally, these things should have been done by Ji Mengting and Zhao Zitong by themselves, but...

He Shen plans to come and help them choose a piano in person.

After they confirm the piano they are used to, help them decide their piano choice and what kind of tone to use!
These things are very important preparations before the game!
In the previous Chopin International Piano Competition, He Shen knew everything by himself, so he didn't ask Professor Danyi to help him choose.

In this current competition, Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting are basically participating in a competition of this level for the first time.

Therefore, I must help them choose the most suitable piano for them.

It doesn't have to be a suitable work, occasionally, you can also target other contestants!

He Shen took Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting to the vicinity of the Hamamatsu Concert Hall quickly.

At this moment, people around the Hamamatsu Concert Hall were already standing densely, and countless people were standing there talking in low voices, preparing for the piano selection later.

He Shen walked up to the staff, nodded slightly to them, and handed them the identity certificates of himself, Ji Mengting and Zhao Zitong, and said casually in English.

"Instructor He Shen, contestants Ji Mengting, Zhao Zitong, send for inspection!"

"Okay! Please wait a moment!"

The staff took the ID card from He Shen's hand with the respect unique to Dongying, and nodded to He Shen after quick registration and testing: "Hello, your ID card, and the ID card of the two contestants, we It has been verified for you!"

"Mr. He Shen, our supervisor reminded us before that if you come, you can directly bring your students into it first, and you don't need to wait slowly outside!"

"Do you want to go in directly? Or wait for a while and wait until your students are ready?"

"If you want to start piano selection, you can come to us anytime, we will definitely meet your needs!"

The staff in front of him bowed their heads respectfully, handed out the three ID cards in their hands, and said to He Shen.

He Shen took the ID card in his hand, put it away, turned his head and glanced at the two standing behind, looked very curiously at Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting around him, and then glanced at the dense crowd around him, thinking for a while After a while, without too much hesitation, he said directly:

"Just go in now, don't wait!"

"Okay! I'll arrange it now!"

The staff member nodded, and quickly gestured to the other staff members around him. After writing and drawing on the registration books and memos, he stretched out his arm to He Shen and pointed to the concert hall behind him , opened the mouth and said: "Hello, Mr. He Shen, please go this way!"

He Shen glanced at the staff, and greeted Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting, not far behind him, who had become the center of everyone's attention, telling them to hurry up and follow him directly into the concert hall.

Many people around were quietly watching Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting, paying attention to their actions.

The appearance of Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting perfectly fits the aesthetics of all Asians, although it may be a little smaller, it is not so attractive to Europeans and Americans.

But for Asians, it's very attractive!

This also made the two of them stand out among all the contestants.

No matter if they were from Hua, Dongying, or Bangzi, they all looked at Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting.

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting are already very popular in China. They are just a little uncomfortable with the current situation, but they have long been used to it.

Now seeing He Shen calling the two of them to enter the room to choose a piano, without any hesitation, they followed He Shen and ran towards the concert hall.

The people outside the room watched Ji Mengting and Zhao Zitong enter the concert hall, and then began to discuss in a low voice.

"By the way, do you know those two people just now? Do you know where these two people are from? I haven't seen them here in Dongying..."

"Yeah, which university is it? Or a university? It feels so beautiful!"

"No, did you pay attention to the wrong focus? Shouldn't you pay attention to them entering the concert hall directly? They didn't stop at all, they came directly, they didn't wait like us, and went directly into the concert hall to prepare for piano selection. Is there an unspoken rule?"

"Huh? When you say it like this, it seems to be true! Such a beautiful girl, unspoken rules, choose the violin in advance, hehehe..."

"What are you thinking? Didn't you see that big man in front of you just now?"

"Big shot? Who?"

"He Shen! How deep is Huaguo! He Shen, the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition! He Shen, the best pianist of the year at the Echo Award! He Shen, the champion of the recent best-selling list of classical music! The most hopeful to become the greatest hundred in the 21st century He Shen, the first pianist!"

"Fuck? He Shen? He Shen was that one just now? I didn't notice at all!"

"I agree with all the ones in front of you, but the last one is the top of the 21 greatest pianists of the 21st century... It's not even halfway through the [-]st century. Where did you come from?"

"Look at it, many people say that! He Shen's strength can definitely rank among the 21 greatest pianists of the [-]st century!"

"I can be sure of this, but the leader is not sure. Speaking of which...do you know what He Shen is here for? Why did he come here out of nowhere?"

"Come here to be a judge? Or come here to give those two girls unspoken rules or something?"

"What unspoken rules, those two girls are He Shen's students! He Shen just refuted everyone's rumors at the Echo Awards before, why are you still staring at this point!"

"Hiss, He Shen's student? It seems that He Shen attaches great importance to these two students. I feel that this competition should be very interesting!"

"What's the use of looking good? Since the two of them, I don't even know if I can enter the finals. Why don't He Shen's students directly submit to the Chopin International Piano Competition, what are they doing here to fight with us?"

"Yeah, why can't the two of them directly enter the Chopin International Piano Competition, what are they doing here for the skirmish..."

"There are so many top bosses coming this year. Really, the environment that was originally particularly introverted is now even more introverted..."

"..."

Everyone was talking about it, but they didn't know what He Shen wanted to do with Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting.

But coincidentally, these people complained a little bit about He Shen and Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting.

It was already a particularly difficult game, but now that all these people have come, how can we still play this game?
Just give up the game early!

It would be fine if these people came earlier, but they still have privileges?
Can I choose a piano in advance?
Although everyone's pianos are the same, it is impossible to only have a limited number of pianos.

but……

Is it not enough to be able to choose in advance and go back earlier to continue contacting?

I might have gone back more than half an hour earlier, but now it may have been delayed a little bit.

The impact is not very impactful, the impact is very small!

However, I always feel uncomfortable psychologically!

Therefore, the group of people looked at He Shen, and at Ji Mengting and Zhao Zitong, with a hint of displeasure in their eyes.

Who would like that kind of queue jumping?

What's the use of being pretty?It's not my object...

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting were unaware of the turmoil outside.

He Shen could probably guess it, but he didn't care about the complaints of the people outside.

After all, what's the use of complaining?If you are strong, then directly beat us on the field!
If your strength is weak...

Then no matter how much you complain, it is impossible to have any slight impact on the game.

Therefore, there is no need to care about what those people think.

He Shen walked quickly to the front of the stage. A group of contestants in front were still testing the piano. After the test, he hesitated for a long time before choosing his own piano.

Then bring the next player on stage.

Every contestant is experimenting to see if he can find the piano that suits him best.

Their fingers ran quickly on the piano, feeling the music flowing between their fingers, and their expressions were extremely serious.

He Shen stood in the middle of the concert hall, a little before the exam, feeling the music around him, without any change in expression.

After waiting for the player in front of him to be confirmed, he nodded to Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting behind him.

"Okay, let's go up!"

"Ok!"

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting nodded and walked quickly to the stage.

After the two of them glanced at each other, Ji Mengting took half a step back and asked Zhao Zitong to try playing the piano first.

Without any hesitation, Zhao Zitong walked directly to the edge of the piano, sat down, raised his hand and was ready to start playing.

At this moment, He Shen suddenly spoke.

"Wait a minute, Zhao Zitong! Don't play the piano for now!"

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on He Shen, not quite sure what He Shen was thinking.

He Shen squinted at the layout of this Hamamatsu concert hall, looked at the surrounding pictures, and touched his chin.

The decoration of this music, the decoration of this concert hall...

This concert hall is for the conduction of music.

He Shen has experienced many concert halls, and he has a general understanding of the music design of the concert hall.

Know which concert hall is more suitable for that kind of performance.

And, which position can you hear the weak points in the music most clearly!
Weaknesses in music, flaws in music, regrets in music...

The judges didn't want to hear how wonderful the performers' interpretation of the music was. What they most wanted to find were the flaws in the music.

After finding the defect, aiming at the player's grasp of the music as a whole, determine whether the player understands music or not!
He Shen looked at the concert hall in front of him, his eyes turned quickly.

Then, He Shen walked to a place near the back of the concert hall, and stopped at a place where everyone seemed inexplicable.

He took out a lollipop from his pocket and stuffed it into the entrance, turned his head to look at Zhao Zitong in front of him, and said calmly.

"Okay, now you can start playing!"

Ask for a monthly pass! ! !Woohoo, give me a chance~
