King of Classical Music

When Zhou Kangsheng saw a handsome black-haired young man on the stage, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't quite recover.After the other party politely reported his name and department, Zhou Kangsheng slapped his thigh: "That's right! It's this Qi Mu!"

Before Zhou Kangsheng came to Paris National Higher Conservatory of Music, the director of the French branch of "Hall of Music" told him that the headquarters thought that a person named Qi Mu might appear in this evaluation, and asked Zhou Kangsheng to pay more attention. If you appear, you have to take photos and write articles more carefully.

It has been three years since Zhou Kangsheng came to France, and he doesn't know much about domestic news, and this is the first time he has seen this young man named "Qi Mu".Thinking of the director's words, Zhou Kangsheng couldn't help but pay 12 points of attention, and began to stare at the brightly lit stage seriously without blinking.

"I want to perform Paganini's "The Bell"...it's a bit difficult, I don't know how this Qi Mu...will perform?"

After taking two photos silently with the SLR, Zhou Kangsheng put down the SLR in his hand, intending to listen carefully to the young man's performance.Even if the performance is not good, he still has to listen to it patiently. Who made the headquarters pay so much attention to this Qi Mu?

However, the moment the long bow just touched the strings, Zhou Kangsheng suddenly froze in place.

"The Bell" is one of Paganini's representative works. The devil violin master has a pair of magical hands. According to rumors, his left hand can be turned upwards to an unbelievable arc, which also caused He fretted on the strings in a large range with impunity.

The opening of the well-known song "The Bell" is a short and violent staccato, which is very characteristic of Paganini.Zhou Kangsheng has been engaged in the classical music industry for six years, and he has also heard the performance of "The Bell" three times, but...he has never heard of someone who can grasp the accuracy of jumping the bow to such a frightening level!

Once the bow jumps on the strings, it is easy to produce some noise.For amateurs who are not good enough, once the bow jumps, it means slipping and even noise.For professional violinists, they can only minimize the noise as much as possible.

At this time, the entire concert hall is echoing a brisk and enthusiastic imitation bell rhythm. Every time the bow beats on the strings, it seems that a small copper bell is beating lightly.The young man's slender left hand kept sliding on the strings, with a huge range, but very relaxed.

And his right hand controls the bow very well, so that every jumping bow can be stabilized in the fastest time, reducing tremors, so the noise is also reduced to the minimum!

In the light golden music hall, everyone held their breath and listened to the enthusiastic "The Bell" in a daze.The sound of the piano was like a stream passing through the clumps of mountains and forests, hitting gravel and broken trees, causing an ethereal echo.

When the song reached the chords in the second half, the young white fingers slid on the strings, stretching from the front octave to the end of the black fingerboard.At the same time, clusters of zither sounds like small streams are gradually connected together, slowly forming small rivers, small rivers... big rivers, big rivers.

When the chords of the whole song reached the final climax, the melody that sounded again seemed to be surging like waves.If Lanster's "Reflections on Dante" was like rivers and rivers, now this song "The Bell" seems to really have a soul, with a deep will like the ocean.

It's never the tune that differs, but the person who plays it.

Both Liszt and Paganini are representatives of the virtuosity school, but as students who played the two masters' repertoires, it is obvious that anyone can find that... the black-haired Chinese youth in front of him is really better than the previous one. The performers are even better!

A song is completely over.

Zhou Kangsheng stared blankly at the young man standing under the spotlight, his lips moved, and he hadn't recovered from the exciting music just now.The next second, when he heard a low "Bravo" sound, he subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from. This look...

Zhou Kangsheng was even more stupid!

It turned out that Min Chen stood up on his own initiative and gave the student a "Bravo"? !

Reflexively, Zhou Kangsheng picked up the SLR and took a picture. The angle he stood at was very unique. He could not only capture the left side of Min Chen, but also completely frame the smiling young man on the stage.

After taking the photo, Zhou Kangsheng clapped his hands in a daze, and sighed softly, "Is this really... the strength a student should have? This Qi Mu won't be... the next Min Chen, right?! "

On the stage, Qi Mu had just finished playing a difficult piece, and there was a little sweat on his forehead.

And when Min Chen yelled the first "Bravo", the roaring applause echoed in the concert hall, which was as shocking as an overwhelming mountain.

After Qi Mu bowed politely, he began to wait for the judges' ratings and comments.Almost 9 points, or even 10 points, countless words of praise spit out from the mouths of these master judges, as if the judges who criticized some students who did not seek to make progress just now did not exist at all.

When the score came to Master Lyont, he looked at Qi Mu solemnly, and said, "Your "The Bell" made me feel like I went back more than ten years ago, when...someone played Liszt on Chaucer The adaptation of "The Bell" got the only perfect score in the audience."

Qi Mu was slightly taken aback, then subconsciously looked at the man sitting next to Lyonte.

Lyonte didn't say the name "Min Chen" directly, but many viewers have already whispered: "I didn't expect Lyonte to give this student such a high evaluation", "He is actually the same as Bert back then." Lime", "Lionte's judgment has always been very accurate"...

Leonte looked at the gentle and humble young man on the stage, finally sighed helplessly, and said: "Your "The Bell" is indeed the best I have heard in the past ten years, so I want to give you... 10 points .”

Even though Qi Mu had already obtained two full marks before this, when Master Lyonte said the phrase "10 points", many audience members were still stunned.

Unexpectedly, after this, Bella Keim also gave a high score of 9 points with a smile, and said frankly: "Your piano sound can get 10 points, but your understanding of "The Bell" is not the same as my understanding." Not the same, so... I can only give you 9 points sorry."

Only after the nine judges gave their scores, Qi Mu's total score has reached a high score of 85 points!This means that as long as Min Chen gives a score higher than 5 points, then this young man will surpass Lanster and get the first high score of 90 points or more in the audience!

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the man sitting in the middle of the judges' seat. They all remembered... When the young people on the stage finished playing, this man was the first to stand up and applaud.

so……

"Your "The Bell" is excellent. Your slides, staccatos and chords are very skillful and concise, and you have a unique understanding of music." On the main judge's seat, the cold and noble man slightly hooked his thin lips and said in a low voice : "Very good, um... 9.5 points."

When the score of "9.5 points" appeared, many audience members were in an uproar, but Qi Mu on the stage was relieved instead.After he walked off the stage with a smile, many students congratulated him with a high score of 94.5, and the students from the violin department even cheered and asked Qi Mu to treat him.

"Oh my God, Xiaoqi, that's 9.5 points given by Mr. Bertram! This is not the same! You are 0.5 points higher than Lanster!"

"That's right Qi, you must treat us today. But it's a pity...you almost got 95 points, it would be great if Mr. Bertram could give you 0.5 more points..."

……

Looking at the cheering appearance of these violin students, Qi Mu suddenly felt... It seems that the person who performed on stage just now was not himself, but them?

However, Qi Mu was also very touched that they were so happy for him.Of course, he didn't want to get 10 points from Min Chen as An Ge said.

When he heard Min Chen evaluating himself on the stage just now, Qi Mu kept giving him winks, hoping that the other party would not give him too outrageous points because of the extra points for friendship.

He thinks that his "The Bell" still has some room for improvement, and it has not reached the most perfect state.

What Qi Mu didn't know was that in the judging panel, a certain man was sighing for the "low score" he gave.

When grading just now, Qi Mu kept winking at Min Chen, and Min Chen naturally understood.Qi Mu was worried about himself... because of knowing each other, he specially gave him extra points.But only Min Chen knew that because of the need to avoid suspicion, he purposely lowered the full score he had originally planned...to 9.5 points.

"Auston, I didn't expect you to give a score of 9.5. This score is really high. I thought you wouldn't give a score of more than 9." Mr. Leonte said with emotion, "However, I didn't expect you A casual student has such a high level... Auston, you really have a good eye for people."

Bella on the side smiled and said, "Lionte, do you really think that... Auston ordered it casually?"

Leonte asked back in surprise: "Isn't it?!"

Bella gave a low laugh and didn't speak any more.

Leonte turned his head to look at Min Chen again, only to see that the latter closed his eyes calmly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to write music reviews?"

Leonte: "..."

"Ok?"

"...Write..." After a while, Leonte said again: "But Auston, you have to tell me first, do you know that Huaxia student?"

A smile flashed across Min Chen's dark pupils, and he asked noncommittally, "Guess?"

Leonte: "..."

Guess what, guess what!

You Huaxia people are still ganging up to bully people!

What a bully! ! !
