world number one pianist

Chapter 336 Take a good look, study hard

Zhao Zitong on the stage is as imposing as a rainbow!

Almost everyone in the entire concert hall was included in her music.

And at this moment, in the backstage of the concert hall.

Contestant No. [-] stood at the door and his whole body froze. He looked at Zhao Zitong on the stage, and his emotions had already collapsed.

The people in front were a little bit better.

But he, as number four.

Especially Zhao Zitong in the front and No. [-] Nakamura Bai from Dongying in the back.

There is no trace of vitality.

Neither of these two people is easy to mess with.

The strength of these two people can almost be regarded as the two strongest in this round of competition.

Not to mention that Ji Mengting behind them!

Right now, there are wolves in the front and tigers in the back. Whether I can get out of this place is a problem. As for whether I can get a better ranking...

He didn't even dare to think about this.

He had no chance at all to escape from the hands of these two people.

The two of them were obviously going to confront each other head-on, and he was just a small victim on the stage.

Thinking of this, the first reaction of contestant No. [-] was to simply withdraw from the competition.

Let Zhao Zitong fight head-on with Nakamura Bai in the back.

Although it is impossible for him to reap the benefits of being a fisherman in this place, after all, he may be eliminated directly.

But it's still interesting to see the gods fighting!

but……

Contestant No. [-] stood still for a long time, looking at the closed stage door in front of him, his eyes became heavy.

He doesn't know what to do now.

The requirements to participate in this competition are not simple and require a little qualification.

Not everyone can come to participate in the competition.

For example, he was recommended by his teacher, and then won the championship of their local competition, so he barely made it to this place.

If he was asked to give up the game directly, he would not be willing at all!

Bad grades are not good, knowing that you can't get good grades is not good.

But... this is the highest stage here in Dongpu!

Contestant No. [-] stood still and struggled for a moment, but finally decided to continue on stage.

To die is to die, but is it just cannon fodder?What are you afraid of?
He looked at Zhao Zitong on the stage with a more serious expression.

Zhao Zitong on the stage didn't know the mentality of the No. [-] contestant backstage, and even if she knew, she wouldn't bother.

Her fingers ran quickly on the piano, and the musicality she showed made everyone in the concert hall silent.

Strength, too strong, compared to other players, her strength is too strong!

With such a powerful strength, people don't have any desire to resist at all.

From the first work Hunting, to the second work Majepa, and now to the third work Chopin's First Piano Ballade.

Of the three works, one work was better than the other. The strength she showed in her hands made the judges overturn their guesses about her over and over again.

Strong, really strong!
He has almost reached the strongest level that a player can achieve!
So strong that these judges want to change the score.

It's a pity that these judges couldn't give Zhao Zitong a higher score if they wanted to.

Not because they have already submitted their scores.

If you want to modify it, you can still modify it.

The main reason is that they need to leave a little bit of leeway.

If Zhao Zitong is the last contestant and her works have reached this level, then they are happy to give Zhao Zitong a full score.

But Zhao Zitong is not the last player, she is the third player.

Although the third contestant has a bit more leeway than the first one, in fact, it is not much more.

These judges gave a score of 95 points, which is considered the highest score.

They are not sure whether there will be better players in the future.

If Zhao Zitong directly gave a perfect score now, how many points should be given to the players who are better than Zhao Zitong who will appear later?
Is it possible to give more than full marks?

Although these judges felt that Zhao Zitong's score might be a little lower, it was not easy to raise it up, even higher.

Therefore, these judges could only look at Zhao Zitong with admiration, and would not choose to change the score.

After all, the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition is different from piano competitions elsewhere, especially the Chopin International Piano Competition.

The piano competition here is round after round, and the results of the previous round will not be inherited to the next round.

Therefore, it is enough to ensure Zhao Zitong's stable appearance, and higher grades in the future are not particularly useful!

In addition, the award for the best composition.

Zhao Zitong is not particularly clear about the twists and turns of the judges, she is just trying to interpret her music, trying her best not to lose any deep face.

After all, she is He Shen's student!
She absolutely can't let the reputation of He Shen's teaching get any damage outside!
The music is flowing fast, and the emotions are surging in the concert hall without any reservation.

Everyone looked at Zhao Zitong with indescribable shock in their eyes.

The emotions expressed by each sound are all contained in the music, so that everyone's eyes cannot escape.

Finally, in the eyes of everyone, Zhao Zitong raised his hand and then lowered it.

The last sound was squeezed out slowly.

Music, the end.

The concert hall was extremely quiet. Everyone looked at Zhao Zitong and did not dare to say a word.

They looked at Zhao Zitong in silence, thinking about how they should express the shock in their hearts.

After all, Zhao Zitong's interpretation of music has almost reached the end of their understanding.

After a long time, only one person slowly malfunctioned.

Then, the concert hall vibrated.

There was thunderous applause, and they gathered all their strength in their hands, giving Zhao Zitong the strongest shock.

Zhao Zitong stood up and looked at the crowd applauding vigorously under the stage, with a smile on his lips.

It was the first time for her to enjoy this feeling on stage.

This feeling is not annoying.
Zhao Zitong looked at the crowd, held the piano next to him, bowed slightly, kept himself as calm as possible, and left towards the entrance next to him gracefully.

Behind the stage, a contestant who had just built up confidence in himself had turned completely pale at this moment.

He glanced at Zhao Zitong who was walking towards him, and then at Nakamura Bai who had just opened the door behind him and came out of the lounge, and couldn't help swallowing.

What is this?Strong dialogue?

Originally I thought about showing myself a little bit on stage, but now...

Contestant No. [-] couldn't help lowering his head, wishing he could leave the backstage immediately and find a place to soothe his wounded heart.

The staff next to him was looking at the documents in his hands, and didn't pay attention to the expression of contestant No. [-] next to him. He just felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, so he couldn't help but raised his head, looked at contestant No. [-], and said.

"Contestant No. [-], it's your turn, won't you be on stage?"

"You and I……"

Contestant No. [-] was at a loss for words, and after struggling for a moment, he closed his eyes suddenly, raised his head, and walked towards the stage with big strides.

His steps were extremely stiff, and he walked to the stage with difficulty, bowing slightly to the crowd.

The result may be because he was too nervous. When he sat down, he didn't wait for the backstage staff to announce the scene, and started to play directly.

The sound at the beginning, because of the stiffness of the body, caused the sound of the sound to be too strong.

And this kind of solid sound obviously directly makes what needs to be expressed in the music lack connotation.

Therefore, many of the judges sitting in the judges' seats shook their heads when they watched contestant No. [-]'s performance, and randomly filled in a score on his name.

Probably, about 70 points.

A score that is neither too ugly nor too good-looking.

The contestant on the stage quickly understood his situation, and his body couldn't help but soften a little.

His timbre changed again!
This change directly made what he showed more incomprehensible.

And at this moment, it was obvious that his performance was over.

Even if he didn't play a single note wrong, there was no way for him to continue to make the judges give him a higher score.

In his music, there is no music.

Nakamura Bai at the back of the stage looked at the contestant on the stage without any change in expression.

He just glanced casually, then looked at Zhao Zitong who was about to leave, and suddenly said.

"You play very well."

"Huh?" Zhao Zitong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Nakamura Bai to talk to her like this, then he turned around immediately, looked at Nakamura Bai, puffed out his chest, and said proudly: "Well, my teacher's teaching is not bad, right? Not bad, is it?"

"Seeing my performance just now, should you admit now how big is the gap between you and my teacher?"

"I just told you that my teacher was already many times better at playing than you when you were your age. Now my teacher's strength is beyond what you can imagine."

"So, it's better to surrender early, don't struggle!"

Hearing Zhao Zitong's words, Nakamura Bai couldn't help but pause, then shook his head, and said helplessly.

"What you're talking about now really looks like a villain..."

"Huh? Me? The villain? Why did I become the villain?" Zhao Zitong couldn't help but blinked his eyes because he didn't understand Nakamura Bai's words.

Isn't it a normal conversation?Why did I become a villain out of nowhere?

As a result, before she could speak, Nakamura Bai continued to speak.

"You played well, you have everything you should have, basically the best step you can do among the students!"

"Unfortunately, you still haven't escaped the influence of your teacher. Many of the things you play may have been taught to you by He Shen, not your own ideas!"

"He Shen teaches very well. If there is no top pianist reserve, that is, me, you may really win the No.1 and No.2 rankings this year."

"After all, this is only a nominally global competition in Asian states. Most of the contestants are still students, or come from students. Many of their thoughts on music are dependent on their teachers."

"Of course, I'm not saying that what you've shown is not good. Of course it's good to be able to play the effect that the teacher wants. I'm just saying..."

"You still lack a lot of things in your performance, for example, your own things!"

"So...you can't beat me!"

Nakamura Bai's tone was very affirmative, without any slightest hesitation.

He didn't even look at Zhao Zitong next to him, but just looked at the No. [-] contestant on the stage, his eyes full of anticipation.

Looking forward to the moment when I stand on the stage.

Looking forward to the moment when I will show my music to everyone.

Someone asked Bai Nakamura before, why do other people listen to you playing the piano instead of doing their own things, such as playing with mobile phones and watching movies.

After all, there are so many entertainment devices nowadays, listening to music is not everyone's first choice at all.

Nakamura Bai only had a very simple sentence for these people.

Because I play well, and the music I play has what they want.

So...they have to listen to me play.

A little crazy, a little proud.

It's a pity that all those who heard him play the piano did not say anything that he was too proud of.

Because he played really well.

For other contestants, he is the devil king just like his reputation!

Demon King, Nakamura Shiro.

wow...

There was sparse applause in the concert hall, and the fourth player on the stage had finished playing.

He was a little out of his mind, and he was a little erratic when he walked.

He is very confused now, feeling that his career may have come to an end.

oh no...

This should not be called ushering in the end, but has already fallen at the starting point, and there is no possibility of continuing to go down.

He walked unsteadily to the backstage of the stage and glanced at Zhao Zitong and Nakamura Bai who were standing backstage confronting each other. He no longer had the slightest arrogance to continue fighting.

He just looked up at the two of them, then walked down.

Nakamura Bai didn't look at contestant No. [-], he just continued to look at the stage.

Zhao Zitong, on the other hand, looked at Nakamura Bai and narrowed his eyes.

Then, suddenly smiled.

"Well, since you said that you can interpret a work, interpret it in your own way, and interpret your own music, then I want to listen to what your music is like!"

"But you said that I don't have my own things in it, this is not right..."

"It's just because I didn't pay attention to these things in the preliminary round."

"He Shen told me that there is no need to be too nervous during the preliminary round. Even the news that I am going to compete was only known this morning, so many things are not ready yet."

"I thought you could retreat in spite of the difficulties like this, but I didn't expect that you still want to continue?"

"Okay, then let me, Ji Mengting, and my teacher He Shen take a look and see where the cost of your pride is!"

Zhao Zitong shook his head, turned around and walked into the lounge, without continuing to speak to Nakamura Bai.

Nakamura Bai was slightly surprised by Zhao Zitong's behavior and raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't think much about it.

Even if this is not Zhao Zitong's full strength, he originally wanted to show his full strength on this stage.

Regardless of the strength of the people in front and behind, he will do this.

Therefore, Nakamura Bai just nodded to the staff next to him, and after the replacement of the piano on the stage was completed, he walked to the stage.

At this moment, there was no one on the stage, and the lights shone brightly on the piano.

After Nakamura Bai lightly arranged his clothes, he walked onto the stage amidst the applause of everyone.

He looked at the people around him and bowed slightly.

The voices of the background staff also sounded at this time.

"Dongying, Nakamura Bai!"

"Piano Choice: Yamaha CFX"

"Choice of works, Liszt's super skill etude, ghost fire!"

After the voice fell, Nakamura Bai did not start playing immediately, but looked at the people under the stage in the sight of everyone, and smiled slightly.

To everyone off the stage.

Be it teachers, students, or judges.

He spoke slowly to the crowd off the stage with a tone that seemed to mean something.

"Look well, study hard."
