world number one pianist

Chapter 332 Chapter 333
For the players from Japan, the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition should be regarded as the closest top-level competition.

For other players, such as pianists from Huaguo and Bangziguo, this is also the most cost-effective competition.

The reason is very simple, it is because of the proximity!
For example, if you come to Hamamatsu from Huaguo Haicheng, the air ticket with a little carry-on luggage is about 1000 yuan and it will stop.

If it goes back and forth, it is probably more than 2000!
It might be cheaper to fly from Bangziguo?
In addition to the two places of Huaguo Bangziguo, there are players from other small places.

For example, like Deng Songshan, players from small places around Huaguo, their first choice is to come to Hamamatsu to participate in the top competitions in this place.

This is the cheapest in Asia, and it is also the easiest to climb, and it can even be said to be the highest-level event!
You can absolutely say that the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition is not called the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, but this competition can be called...the Asian International Piano Competition!
Because, in this competition, the most participating players are Asian players!

After all, the competition was held in Hamamatsu, Japan, so it was impossible for many players from other places, such as those from Europe and around the beautiful country, to travel so far just to compete in Japan.

And Asia, as the continent of involution, is known by countless people!

In the original competition finals, there were still nearly eight places for everyone to introvert, but now it seems...

It seems that there are only two or three spots at the end for everyone to infiltrate!
A lot of players who are obviously capable and can directly find connections, and entered higher-level competitions from other places, did not choose to directly compete in higher-level music competitions, but chose to compete in this Hamamatsu International Piano Competition. Make a temporary contest.

This point directly drove countless people into the abyss.

If those ordinary people can enter the finals of this competition, they can take a break for a while and use this as their own resume for everyone to see.

Indicates their level of strength.

After all, everyone knows their own level of strength, and no one will feel that their level of strength has really reached a particularly high level.

You can charge towards the top of the world.

Therefore, many people only put their goal on entering the finals. It would be better if they can get a higher ranking, but if they can't get it, forget it.

As the outpost of the Chopin International Piano Competition, there must be a lot of top-notch masters in this competition who are advancing towards the highest peak of this competition!

However, there can be such top bosses, but there shouldn't be so many of them!

There are too many top bosses now, right?

There are so many people below that there is no room for a little bit of success!

Now this situation is a bit too frustrating.

The performance under normal circumstances was actually not bad. The top players took the first few positions, leaving a few vacant positions for ordinary pianists to compete for.

You charge towards a higher level, and I mix up my grades at a lower level.

As a result, you don't even give me mixed grades now. Isn't this too much?
and……

Everyone's resentment towards He Shen is the deepest.

Everyone brings one person to participate in the competition, why do you bring two people to participate in the competition?Undermining our chances of advancing?
Why don't you just take eight students and take the top eight places in the finals?
Therefore, everyone who originally had a slight sympathy for Zhao Zitong Ji Mengting, after seeing He Shen leading the two of them into the competition, thought of their own future, and suddenly lost much sympathy.

Oh, by the way... Except for those who didn't intend to make it to the finals, they just wanted to get in as many places as they could, and they didn't think about other special things at all, let alone how many places He Shen led his students into.

He Shen and Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting didn't care about the discussions of other people around them. The discussions of these people had no effect on them.

The only effect is to make He Shen use this name to be more lazy to go out, and to force Ji Mengting and Zhao Zitong to practice crazily.

What He Shen wanted was for Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting to win the first and second titles in the competition!
In this way, one of them should be able to get the first recommended place directly through the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition.

Guaranteed to the Chopin International Piano Competition!
Then the other person can take this opportunity to improve their self-confidence and move towards a higher level!
Everything is moving forward slowly under He Shen's arrangement.

He Shen let the two of them move towards the performance closer to the concert at the fastest speed!
Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting also followed He Shen's pace without any hesitation, and quickly adjusted the details of those performances!
These details can be adjusted!
In music, these are the minutiae.

The most important thing in music is the understanding of music, and what the performer wants to show is also the understanding of music!

Understanding in music is the most important thing!
Usually when practicing, they are also thinking about music, and they have some understanding of music.

When playing, what is played is actually not running forward by relying on one's own habits, nor is it running forward completely by relying on memory.

More, it is the understanding and interpretation of music.

After understanding the interpretation, many details in the follow-up can be easily corrected.

And He Shen's request for Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting's practice is basically to ask them to work harder on music.

Now I have done a lot of music work, and the last thing left is some special processing work!
And as He Shen continued to pursue the details of the performance of the two, the two quickly met He Shen's requirements and came to the feeling He Shen wanted.

That kind of feeling can be matched with the Hamamatsu International Piano Piano Competition!

He Shen stood in the room, watching Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting's interpretation, couldn't help touching his chin, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting lowered their heads, waiting for He Shen's evaluation.

Seeing that He Shen didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Zitong hesitated for a while, then raised his head cautiously, looked at He Shen and said tentatively, "Teacher, is it okay for us to do this?"

He Shen raised his head at this time, glanced at Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting, and nodded slowly: "It's ok, although there are still some problems with this performance, but it's not a big problem. Make adjustments!"

After all, He Shen got up, picked up the clothes, put them on, walked to the door, and said to Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting, "Let's go, let's go directly to the competition site now."

"Today is your preliminary round."

"Huh??? Today is our preliminary round? Today???" Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting's eyes widened suddenly, they had no idea at all.

He Shen had told them earlier that they should not care about anything other than practicing the piano.

Therefore, the two of them really didn't care about anything, they just kept practicing the piano seriously, thinking about how the music should be expressed.

But they really didn't expect that He Shen didn't even tell them when to start playing!

Now, the two of them were directly stunned, and even became anxious in their hearts.

Zhao Zitong immediately took a step forward and said anxiously: "He Shen, we are not ready yet, why did we start the competition all of a sudden? We shouldn't be ready..."

"Are you really not ready?" He Shen stopped opening the door, looked at Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting behind him, and said very seriously: "I have led you to prepare for so long, I said you all It's ready, you think, aren't you ready?"

"It's different! Me!" Zhao Zitong always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't tell.

He Shen's tone didn't change in the slightest. He looked at Zhao Zitong and asked very seriously, "What's different?"

"Do you think your performance just now was not good, or do you think... I said you were ready, but I was wrong?"

"I..." Zhao Zitong was at a loss for words.

Obviously there should be that kind of tension, the tension before the game, the tension of the whole body being tense, wanting to keep rushing forward.

But I don't know why, under He Shen's interruption, she and Ji Mengting beside her, the tension between the two of them almost disappeared.

Instead, it was blank.

I don't know what kind of mood I should be in right now.

Should it be tense?Or behave a little more normal?
If you need to behave normally, what expression should you have now?
The two of them instantly became extremely bewildered, not knowing what they should do now is the right way!
He Shen looked at the two people behind him, especially at their confused expressions, he couldn't help but shook his head, walked to the door, and signaled to them, "Let's go, go out, and get ready for the competition."

"I have led you to practice for so long. You should be very familiar with the work you are going to play, and you shouldn't have any hesitation. Your current strength is sufficient for this competition!"

"So, you... what are you afraid of? What kind of problems do you think you might have?"

"I! I, I..."

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting looked at He Shen, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong.

But he didn't know where to refute, so he could only follow He Shen in the direction of Hamamatsu Concert Hall in a daze.

At this moment, a lot of people have gathered near the Hamamatsu Concert Hall, countless people gathered near the concert hall, waiting for the start of the competition.

Today is the first day of the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition!
First day of qualifiers!
A few days ago, it was time for the students to practice and choose the piano.

All contestants report, choose a specific piano, and determine which piano you need to choose in the future!
After all the contestants have reported their success and have chosen their piano, it is the turn of the opening ceremony.

At the opening ceremony, some judges and top pianists came to celebrate and perform for this competition.

Let all players feel the demeanor of those top masters!

He Shen was also among them, but He Shen didn't let Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting follow him to watch the opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony was a bit too much of a waste of time for them.

It is best to spend their time getting used to the concert hall first!
Therefore, there are many people near the Hamamatsu Concert Hall. They looked at He Shen who was walking towards the Hamamatsu Concert Hall, and they couldn't help showing a trace of longing in their eyes.

This is He Shen, one of the top pianists at the moment.

Although they have not reached the number one in the world, they are definitely among the top pianists!

If he could share one percent of his piano proficiency to himself, it would be enough for them to brag to the outside world for a long time!
Therefore, seeing He Shen without a trace of arrogance or affectation, just like ordinary people walking towards them, their eyes were full of excitement and joy.

However, they restrained themselves and did not allow themselves to rush forward to ask He Shen for his autograph.

Just when they thought He Shen was the only one coming, they suddenly saw Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting behind He Shen.

At this moment, their eyes changed.

It's good that He Shen came to add luster to this competition, but why did he bring his students here to compete on the field?
Why grab their places?
He Shen felt the gazes around him, without any slight change in his expression, and he didn't even pause in his steps.

What the people around him think of him, or what his students think, has nothing to do with him.

He Shen took the two of them to the front of the Hamamatsu Concert Hall, where the report was made.

After handing the ID card in his hand to the staff in front of him, he immediately spoke.

"Zhao Zitong from Huaguo, Selected Works, Liszt Etudes, Hunting, Majeppa, and Chopin Piano Ballade No. [-]"

"Hua Guoji Mengting, selection of works, Chopin Ballad No. [-], Chopin Nocturne, Chopin etude Dongfeng, Torrent!"

The staff member immediately picked up the information card in his hand, quickly compared and filled it out, and nodded respectfully to He Shen.

"Okay, Mr. He Shen, we have reviewed and confirmed the materials for your students, and you can take your students directly into the backstage of the contestants!"

"Do you need a pass? We can let you wait with the players in the backstage!"

He Shen shook his head without any hesitation: "No, just give me a ticket in the corner."

"Ok!"

The staff nodded immediately, and after a quick operation on the workbench in front of them, they handed over two passports and a concert ticket to He Shen, and said.

"Mr. He Shen, this is your student's pass, and this is your ticket, please keep it! If you lose it, it will be very troublesome, and you need to apply for re-certification, so please, please ensure as much as possible The two passes in your hand are intact! After your student's competition is over, these two passes can be given to you as a souvenir!"

"But be careful, these two passports must not be lost!"

"En." He Shen nodded and took the pass from the staff, turned around and returned to the nearby Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting, and handed the pass to them.

He Shen looked at the bewildered expressions of the two, and spoke slowly.

"This is your pass, keep it!"

"Don't be too nervous, your strength is enough, just play normally!"

"This is just a preliminary round, and the intensity of the competition will not be too high, so take it easy."

After all, He Shen patted Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting on the backs, and sent Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting, who hadn't reacted yet, directly to the concert hall. After watching them disappear from his sight, he finally Slowly look away, ready to enter the auditorium.

At this moment, a slightly familiar voice came from beside him.

"Dongying, Nakamura Bai, piano selection Yamaha CFX, performance works, Liszt's will-o'-the-wisps!"
