Dreaming can be a boss

After an unknown amount of time, someone informed him that he was going to go on stage, and he stood up, and Ning Shiyuan also stood up, helped him tidy up the dress on his body, and said, "Go, come on!"

Su Lu gently hugged her, kissed her, and then walked towards the stage amidst all kinds of blessings around her.

While waiting for Su Lu to take the stage, at the judges' seat, the judge Argerich flipped through the information about Su Lu in his hand, looked at the judge Chen Sa next to him, and said, "Chen, why do you think this is from you?" What about the young people in Huaxia?"

Chen Sa said with a smile: "Of course I like him very much. He is very talented. He is one of the most promising pianists in our country in his 20s."

Argerich nodded with a smile. This silver-haired famous female pianist always looks kind.

"I also support this young man. As long as his playing style continues, he will definitely become another new star in our piano industry in the future."

Chen Sa was surprised: "Are you also so optimistic about him?"

Argerich smiled: "I think that every pianist with his own beliefs, as long as he perseveres, can bloom his own brilliance."

Chen Sa nodded and said with a smile, "I believe so too."

At this time, the audience's applause suddenly became intense. It was Su Lu who came out from the backstage, taking confident steps, each step seemed to have been accurately measured, and the distances were equal. At the same time, he was facing the auditorium, full of A smile on the face makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Argerich suddenly said: "Actually, what I admire most is not his personality."

Chen Sa clapped her hands, turned her head at the same time, put her ears up slightly, and waited for Argerich's answer.

"What I admire most is his self-confidence. This young man named Su Lu, every time he goes on stage, he holds his head up high, with a smile on his face, and plays very relaxedly, as if he never worries about his playing Question. While playing, his facial expression is very natural, neither artificial nor stiff. When playing a happy melody, he simply shows a smile, and when he is sad, he frowns deeply and stares at the keys. When I am depressed, I close my eyes tightly. These expressions are very natural...Of course, it may also have something to do with his appearance. I have to admit that he is very handsome. Maybe my granddaughter will also like him .”

Speaking of this, Argerich smiled, and Su Lu on the stage had already bowed to the audience, which caused another round of applause. Afterwards, Su Lu sat back on the piano and began to prepare.

Argerich added: "In addition to the expression, his arm movements are also very natural, following the rhythm, or smooth and steady, it seems that it is not made for deliberate performance, but just from His inner thoughts made him subconsciously think that he should do that... This makes me feel ashamed."

Chen Sa was even more surprised, never expecting that Argerich had such a high opinion of Su Lu.

"Actually, his performance reminds me of the performance described in the book about Liszt."

At this moment, the judge sitting on the other side of Argerich said so.

The judge is Katharina Va, the chairman of the judges of this year's Chopin Piano Competition. Apart from being a world-renowned pianist, this lady is also known as a "mythical piano educator". Her status is very important, and she has a personal disciple who once won the Chopin Competition.

And hearing her words, Chen Sa, as a junior among the judges, could only listen from the side, while Argerich and Wa laughed and said: "Katarina, you, the chairman of the judges, plan to give him What's the score?"

Wa waved his hand: "Let's talk about scoring after he finishes his performance, but as long as he can continue to maintain the same style as before, I won't be stingy with my scores."

"Me too." Argerich nodded with a smile.

"Music needs personality. I watched the video interviewing Su Lu, and what he said made sense, which made me change my mind."

"Meaning you didn't want him to go to the final with this style?"

"I thought that way at first." Wa did not deny it, and then said: "But I can also see that his personality is probably where he will become famous in the future. The Chopin Piano Competition not only showcases the demeanor of pianists In addition, we will also adhere to the concept of promoting newcomers, so when awarding awards, we will consider the awards that each contestant has won in the past. This Su Lu has never won an award before, so why not give him a chance and see Can he successfully let Chopin's reputation be embedded in the first sequence of his honor?"

Argerich smiled: "Since you said so, let's look forward to his performance."

Wa didn't say any more, and turned her gaze to the center of the stage again, right in front of the Steinway Triangle.

Su Lu was ready. With his eyes closed, he took a deep breath, raised his hand, and played it down two octaves.

"Hero Polonaise"!

This piece of music is one of his favorite pieces, and coincidentally, it became the required piece in the third round of this competition.

And it just so happened that this imposing piece could perfectly allow him to display his strength.

At the end of the introduction, the first act of the whole song was played, the brilliant and imposing melody was played, and Steinway's perfect timbre was displayed, which almost made the audience shiver.

Just like the appearance of a hero, it gives people confidence and courage, endows people with an indomitable will, the octave staccato of the left hand is clean and neat, and the vibrato of the right hand seems to tremble on the heartstrings of people.

Everyone's eyes lit up. Su Lu's prelude completely showed off his aura. This is exactly what "hero" means!

As Chopin's most magnificent piece of music, Heroic Polonaise is also one of the most popular pieces. It has been loved by almost every Chopin lover or piano lover, and the versions of various pianists are also Countless.

But none of them could have imagined that Su Lu's "Hero" hit their hearts.

The contestants listening below all sighed that Su Lu really did as he said, still maintained his own personality, and continued to show his unique side: making the emotional passages more intense, expressing the emotionally implicit The passage is more subtle.

When people listen to music, they either like gentle and graceful music or majestic music, and the more extreme it is, the more people will fall in love with it as soon as they hear it.

Just like Debussy's "Moonlight" and Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture", needless to say, the former is gentle, while the latter even the composer himself admits that the noisy passage has become people's favorite melody .

So Su Lu has a high probability of winning the support of the audience again, but what about the judges?

The judges are still listening quietly. When listening to the music, don't make a sound and listen quietly. Otherwise, it would be a pity to miss the details.

However, this song finally ushered in the end. With Su Lu's last heavy play, the audience, especially the locals in Poland, gave warm applause, even if the competition was not over yet, because "Hero Poland" Dance" is Chopin's work for the heroes of Poland.

And the baby on the judging panel had a look of relief in his eyes, "Not bad, very good, this kind of "Hero" is probably the "Hero" that Chopin wanted to hear."

Argerich said with a smile: "After all, our current score is actually sorted out by our descendants, not the original score. What's more, Chopin may not necessarily play according to his own score."

"It's like this." Wa took a sip of water and said, "Okay, I've heard what I want to hear, and I can wait for Su Lu's performance in the final."

Argerich nodded and smiled, then looked back at the stage, waiting for Su Lu's next performance.

Chapter 282 End

In the third round, Su Lu passed again without any surprise, and every judge gave high marks without hesitation.

In fact, the judges were very surprised. They didn't expect that they had the same idea. Even the judges who were very opposed to Su Lu's performance before changed their attention.

But the reason for all this is precisely because of Su Lu's interview and his words, which moved the judges, and they naturally gave high marks.And no one would question the scores they gave, because you can tell by looking at the applause Su Lu received.

In this way, the end of the third round of the competition announced that the final is coming. The last ten contestants have become the focus of global attention. They represent the forefront of young pianists this time. No matter whether they get the ranking or not, All represent this period of time, and they will all receive countless honors and praises.

As the last Chinese person remaining in the list of contestants, Su Lu has recently received a lot of domestic publicity. Since Li Di won the Chopin Competition 20 years ago and became a household name in China, Su Lu This Chinese pianist who has won the championship again after so many years, whether it is from the media or the official media, has started various reports, and some of the news media that have already come to Warsaw have begun to interview with Su Lu matter.

So Su Lu accepted an interview from a media reporter. This interview from the domestic media was all in Chinese, so it attracted the attention of many people after it was released in China. No matter how you say it, watching the Chinese say Chinese language is relatively more normal than Chinese people speaking English.

Of course, these interviews are only a small number of people. If they go back to publicize, the scope of publicity will not be very wide, unless Su Lu also won No.1 in the finals. At that time, it is estimated that CCTV will come to Warsaw to interview him.

But at that time, Su Lu also had to think about how to tell his family that he could play the piano suddenly, and why he won the gold medal in the most important international competition.

In fact, Su Yueyue had already called.

"Hey, brother."

"Yueyue, what's the matter?"

"Are you in Poland now? Participating in the Chopin Piano Competition?"

Su Lu rubbed the center of his brows, he didn't expect his younger sister to know so soon: "Yes, you should have seen the media reports."
