world number one pianist

Chapter 344
He Shen drove from the symphony shop and passed Jiangzhou Normal University.

From the side of the road, I saw the Conservatory of Music in Jiangzhou Normal University, looked at the small white building, and did not pass by, but followed the car directly.

It is said that the Conservatory of Music of Jiangzhou Normal University recruited a group of new teachers after they left, and the framework has been pulled up again, and it has not just fallen.

It's just that they only accept normal students now, filling the last gap in Jiangzhou's music education.

He Shen got off at the gate of Jiangzhou Normal University, and after several transfers, he arrived at Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music from Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music.

After He Shen got off the car at the gate of Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, he walked directly to the office along the flow of people without much hesitation.

He reached out and knocked twice on the door of the principal's office.

dong dong.

"Please come in." Wednesday's voice sounded at the door.

Listening to Wednesday's voice, He Shen pushed the door open without much hesitation.

At this moment, Wednesday Wednesday was correcting a lot of documents, without looking up, he asked directly.

"What's up?"

"Principal Wednesday, I plan to take a break, so please resign first."

He Shen spoke slowly to Wednesday.

"Resign? Take a break? Huh?"

Zhou San heard He Shen's voice and didn't react. He looked up and found that it was He Shen who was talking with him. He didn't understand what was going on at all, and said in a daze.

"He Shen? When did you come back? Why don't you tell me so that I can send the car to pick you up?"

Halfway through the speech, he felt something was wrong, stood up abruptly, and patted the table.

"No, wait, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly? Rest? Resign?"

"I need to rest for a while, and I plan to go shopping in other places recently, and then...prepare my new album and concert."

He Shen's tone didn't change at all, as if he was describing something that wasn't his own.

Zhou San looked at He Shen, looked at He Shen's expression, opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, anyway, you haven't worked here for a long time, most of the time is spent running around outside, preparing for the competition."

"It's really good that you can tell me before you leave. Thank you for giving me time to adjust my work."

There was reproach in Wednesday's tone, but not too much anger.

I have always said that He Shen wants to take some courses in school to do something about music aesthetics.

For example, about the appreciation of classical music in the romantic period and so on.

As a result, I took some courses when I was at the Music College of Jiangzhou Normal University.

When he arrived at the Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, He Shen spent most of his time teaching alone. The class he said he would teach before was always taught by another teacher.

In fact, he really didn't take a single class.

Therefore, for He Shen's departure and request for a long leave of absence on Wednesday, he had already had a little bit of anticipation.

He had known for a long time that He Shen might prepare an album for a long time, but he didn't expect that he came back suddenly during the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition and followed him about making an album.

Zhou San returned to his seat, waved at He Shen, and said casually.

"Okay, since you're about to leave, I can't stop you, so tidy up a little bit and hand over the work, although you don't have anything to hand over..."

"However, I will reserve your position for you. It won't be too late to come back after you finish it."

"If you really don't plan to come back, just tell me, I'll get you an honorary professor in this place, which is the same position as Argerich and the others."

"That way, you don't have to worry."

Picking up the pen in his hand on Wednesday, he quickly wrote and drew on the paper, filled out a form, handed it to He Shen in front of him, and continued.

"You will have no problem signing here, and then..."

Wednesday paused.

"Then can you tell me where you plan to go?"

He Shen took the paper and pen from Wednesday, thought for a while, and said.

"Probably, I'll go to Europe once, go around Europe, and then fly to the Bear Country, and the Beautiful Country, and take a look at those places."

"Feel the music that I haven't felt before."

"In this way, maybe I can play with a better feeling."

Zhou San looked at He Shen in front of him, paused for a long time, and then sighed.

"Is that so..."

"Okay, that's it, the gate of Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music will always be reserved for you, even the next principal will."

"Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music will be your last bastion, your last harbor, and will never abandon you."

After finishing speaking, Zhou San got up, patted He Shen on the shoulder, and sent He Shen outside the door. Looking at He Shen's leaving back, he was silent for a long time.

He waited until He Shen was out of sight, then he sighed again, turned around and returned to his room.

Instead of continuing to work, he turned his chair around and looked at the wall behind him.

Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music is just an ordinary conservatory of music, it does not have a huge floor-to-ceiling window upstairs like those big companies.

So, behind Wednesday is just an ordinary wall.

There are a lot of awards and medals hanging on the wall.

Among them, if you look carefully, you can clearly see that more than half of them belong to He Shen, and there are medals and certificates of He Shen's students.

This is the honor wall of Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, and this is what I like to see most on Wednesday.

Now that He Shen left, it meant that the people on this wall lost a huge pillar.

"I hope those people behind Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music can continue to support Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, right?"

"Those from the string group, the percussion group, and... those from the wind group."

"I hope they can support the piano department that was a bit empty after He Shen left!"

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, there is another Yue Li, Yue Li..."

"Yue Li, he should be able to replace He Shen and support Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, right?"

"Unfortunately, although he has good strength, he is also a leader in the industry, but he is not as good as He Shen, who can become the pillar of the school!"

"Pity……"

Zhou San looked at the certificate behind him, fell into deep thought, didn't say a word, just stood there in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, he turned around and continued to correct the documents on his desk with an extremely serious expression, without any slack.

Even if He Shen leaves, Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music cannot collapse. He must maintain the continued development of the entire Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music.

……

He Shen left Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music and returned to his home. After packing up all his things, he called his manager.

The phone beeped twice, and Jiang Yunling's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"I plan to go to Europe again, about three months, can you help me get a visa?"

"Three months?"

Jiang Yunling was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "For three months, wouldn't it be enough if you apply for a tourist visa normally?"

He Shen explained: "I mainly want to be able to do it as soon as possible. I plan to stay in various places in Europe for three months, sort out my thoughts on music, and open a new album."

"New album?" Jiang Yunling was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "What's the theme?"

"Let's move forward?"

He Shen walked to the top floor of his house, looked at his piano, and continued.

"I want to think about my own music, and think about my understanding of my own music in the previous half of my life."

"These things all need to be thought about carefully."

"Perhaps, I can interpret a unique music that is unique to me."

After He Shen finished speaking, Jiang Yunling on the opposite side was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Okay, I'll go and ask for you right now, and I should be able to give you an answer soon. I will also help you arrange the follow-up arrangements for your music."

"You don't have to be too anxious, just wait for a while, that's it, I'll hang up first."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yunling hung up the phone and immediately got busy with He Shen's affairs.

He Shen also threw the phone aside, walked up to his individually customized piano, put his hands on the black and white keyboard, and played casually.

The sound of the music passed into his ears without any delay.

He Shen closed his eyes and didn't pay attention to everything around him. He just let his thoughts about music sink into the piano and forgot everything around him.

……

He Shen disappeared.

For many people, He Shen disappeared.

Whether it's Wednesday, or what Wednesday, or Zhao Zitong, Ji Mengting and the others.

None of them found any trace of He Shen.

It was as if He Shen had disappeared from this world.

Phone calls, emails, text messages, none of them answered.

Although I really want to complain, but really, very helpless.

Zhao Zitong still lost to Nakamura Bai in the second round of the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, but the gap between the two of them was laughable.

The gap between Zhao Zitong and Nakamura Bai is only about 0.4 points.

Just a little bit short, he can surpass Nakamura Bai.

In the second round of competition, Nakamura Bai was still first, Zhao Zitong second, and Ji Mengting third.

Only this time, Nakamura Bai looked at Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting, and he didn't continue to be particularly proud. He looked at the two of them, and began to hesitate a little.

He felt that in this game, his ranking might not be guaranteed.

He was very likely to be defeated by Zhao Zitong at the last moment.

As for Ji Mengting, the gap between them was even bigger.

Although it is still No.3.

However, No.1 and No.2 Zhao Zitong and Nakamura Bai, and later Ji Mengting and others have formed two completely different teams.

we can even say……

A world apart!

If there were no accidents, Ji Mengting would have no chance of catching up with Zhao Zitong and Nakamura Bai who belonged to the first echelon.

Coupled with the lack of He Shen's help behind him, Ji Mengting fell into autism.

She rejected the others, and stayed alone in the room thinking for a long time, until her band was rehearsing, before she came out.

She walked out of her room, this time, her whole aura became different.

She did not continue to follow Zhao Zitong, but was alone in a place far away from Zhao Zitong, waiting for the final.

Soon, it was time for the finals.

The Hamamatsu International Piano Competition has invited countless top pianists.

No, maybe it wasn't invited by the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition Organizing Committee, but...

These top pianists came here voluntarily.

They heard that there are two particularly experienced players in this place, each with their own understanding of music.

So, half-pushed and half-studied, they followed the organizing committee and came to this place, ready to see how those performers who have their own understanding interpret music!
As they expected, the final of the game shocked everyone.

Not just all the audience at the scene, the judges, but also many people watching the live broadcast in other places.

Zhao Zitong, Nakamura Bai, and Ji Mengting, with their band, played a scene that no one could have imagined.

On the spot, their understanding of music is superb

It can even be said that they are fighting each other hard.

Trying to make my own music directly change other people's ideas about music.

Not only Zhao Zitong and Nakamura Bai, but Ji Mengting also joined the battlefield.

Her understanding of music has a very strange interpretation.

This kind of interpretation sounds ordinary at first, but the more you listen to it, the better it feels.

This interpretation directly stunned countless judges, and made all the judges look at Ji Mengting for a long time.

Until Ji Mengting left the stage, everyone was still immersed in her music.

Unfortunately, her understanding of music was awakened too late and was not yet mature enough.

In the end, she still only got No.3.

Zhao Zitong and Nakamura Bai got the No.1 position.

Two people, the same score, the first time in the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition!
Zhao Zitong held the trophy in his hand, looked at Nakamura Bai beside him, and suddenly said.

"I will definitely surpass you. I understand my own music so long after you, and I have already reached a level similar to yours. Next time, next time I will definitely be able to play better than you!"

Nakamura Bai looked at Zhao Zitong and was not convinced, and frowned.

"Please, Auntie, I'm only 17 years old. I'm still a few months away from becoming an adult. How old are you, huh? You're like a kid with me, don't you feel ashamed?"

"you!"

Zhao Zitong looked at the little kid in front of him who needed a slap and wanted to slap him.

However, Ji Mengting, who was standing aside, reached out to stop her and shook her head.

"Zi Tong, forget it."

"Hmph, I'll spare you this time!" Zhao Zitong hummed twice, looked at Nakamura Bai next to him, and turned his head suddenly, not bothering to pay attention to him.

However, Nakamura Bai did not intend to bypass her.

Under the stage, Nao Nao Kuro, who is very traditional Japanese Yamato Nadeko aesthetic, was standing under the stage, looking at Shiro Nakamura in the center of the stage, his eyes were shining brightly, and he kept waving his hands.

The eyes of the two collided, and Nakamura Bai immediately grinned, waved at her, and poked Zhao Zitong beside him.

"No, see, the one below is my wife, Kuroba Mashiro, auntie, how old are you, what about your partner? You won't be so old, you don't have a partner yet, right? Your interpretation of love works still needs to be improved what!"

"You!!!" Zhao Zitong turned his head abruptly, looking at Nakamura Bai's smile beside him, wishing he could tear his mouth off.

But looking at the gazes of other people around him, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said in a choked voice.

"Hehe, my teacher He Shen doesn't have a date either, so why don't you say this to him?"

"?"

Nakamura Bai froze for a moment, coughed involuntarily, and skipped the topic very cleverly.

However, he didn't notice at all that when Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting talked about He Shen, there was a trace of loneliness in their tone.

They... haven't seen He Shen for a long time.

　The finale is coming soon, there are probably less than 3 days left...
