I play the piano in the comprehensive world

Japan didn't care much about the Paris International Piano Competition. To put it bluntly, it was a carnival on the other side of the world and had nothing to do with the Japanese music industry.

There are only a few public performances of Goujuanjing in Japan, and most of the seniors in the Japanese music industry have heard of him. When they were waiting for someone to visit with airs, the boy retreated for half a year and didn't pay attention to them at all. , This kind of junior is too proud, and has to be honed to "become a talent".

The two reasons are superimposed. When the news of his participation in Barcelona came, most of the news was suppressed by them.

Hierarchy is very important in Japan, and it is an unspoken rule that both Minako Momohei and Hamai Misa have to follow.

The several performances Chopin arranged were not made by himself, and the protagonist of the concert would naturally not speak for such a junior.

After all, Gou Juanjing had no qualifications or background in Japan before this.

Blank.

A monster that came out of nowhere.

By default, Goujuanjing is only famous "in the circle".When he disappeared for half a year, this popularity gradually disappeared.

——Until Goujuanjing emerged from the qualifiers and entered the first round of Barcelona.

Every player who enters Barcelona will be focused on. When Japanese music fans check the players, they can't help but look at the players from their own country, and then click on the qualifier video to complete their entry. process.

As of now, things are only slowly fermenting in unknown corners.

Yukihisa Matsuda, a Japanese conductor who studied in France, reposted Gou Juanjing's "Winter Day".Unlike Gou Juanjing, a little monster who popped up suddenly, Matsuda stepped forward step by step in a serious manner. His foundation is much more solid than Gou Juanjing, and he has more friends in the circle and greater influence.

Matsuda realized the attitude of the Japanese music industry. He should have been wise and safe and stood by.

because……

Because it had nothing to do with him, did it?

but.

Here is another but, Matsuda sat in front of the computer and listened to Gou Juanjing's "Moonlight Sonata" over and over again, and the single looped for two days.

When listening to it live in the concert hall, he cried uncontrollably.

Tears flowed down my face.

There are not a few people like him on the scene.

The charm of music lies in its strong resonance. Whether it is popular music or classical music, this is a language without specific direction. There are only suitable places, suitable moments, and suitable moods... People will be touched irresistibly.

It has been a long time since he encountered music that touched him.

Some dark emotions that had lingered on him for a long time seemed to melt away slowly, and something he didn't know disappeared from him.

Matsuda reposted Gou Juanjing's performance and recommended him to everyone around him.

The snowball rolled slowly like this.

When Atobe and Wutiao found out, the entry of Goujuanjing had been automatically ranked at the top of the search list.

When the hot news came, even the music industry couldn't hold back the reporters, like sharks smelling blood, they reposted various Paris reports, translated them in Japanese style, and blew their little elf prince into the sky.They stared at Inumaki's house like flies, and before Inumakiya could use his power, Atobe and Gojo Satoru struck first.

Unable to do anything, the reporters quickly shifted their targets, and the wealthy newspaper even sent reporters to Paris for on-the-spot interviews.

Gou Juanjing returned to Japan from Paris, because of the blankness in front of him, because of his appearance, because of his low-key... In short, all kinds of reasons superimposed, making the public more curious.

Curiosity can't get any more news. It's like adding fuel to the fire, and everyone's eyes are on Basai.

The third round of Barcelona is also the final.In this round, twelve people have to play the designated repertoire, the famous French composer Saint-Saëns' Piano Concerto No. [-] in G Minor, and then rest for one night. The top three winners and special prizes will be announced the next day.The top three must be selected among the finalists, but the scope of the special prize includes all competitors.

Before the competition, the organizing committee will provide a piano practice room, two by two, and Adamski volunteered to share it with Gou Juanjing.

Then Adamski found that his popularity was much better.

In the lounge, Sophie thanked Adamski with apology: "It's really great for you to be with Goujuu... How should I say, I know he is very good, and I really don't want to share a piano room with him."

Adamski: "Will be led, right?"

Miss France showed an unexplainable smile full of approval.

Twelve people are playing the same concerto, and everyone must play out their own characteristics and feelings. At this time, the practice, especially the two opportunities to cooperate with the orchestra, is particularly precious. Naturally, I want to minimize the impact of others on the concerto. own influence.

Gou Juanjing stayed behind the curtain behind them at this time, and came out of the curtain after everyone left.

This is a courtesy that Gou Juanjing understands.

Adamsky watched him come out of the lounge in surprise, and said nothing extra: "Let's go, let's go to eat first. There are only three days to hurry up and practice."

"it is good."

It's also a gentle polish.

……

When Chopin came to Goujuanjing's room again, he was brushing Shi'er's hair against his back.He stood taller than a child, with strong muscles full of aggression, like a little black panther cat lying on the bed and pretending to be dead.

He had been playing and disappearing when Gou Juanjing went out for several days in a row. He was caught by Gou Juanjing tonight, so he could only indulge him in this more playful punishment game.

Chopin joined in enthusiastically. The dog Juanjing put the cat on his lap, sat on the carpet and took care of stroking him backwards, and the Polish man stroking him along.

After going back and forth a few times, the black cat flung its hands and feet and ran away, as if something dirty was stuck to its paws and could not be shaken off.

Chopin laughed out loud.

The disgusted expression of the black cat is too obvious, and a disgusted cat head is very fun.

The dog curled up on Chopin's lap instead of the cat, and Chopin changed from stroking the cat to stroking the dog.

In this regard, Xiaojing has not changed much ten years ago or ten years later.

"Are you happy with the game?"

Probably only a teacher who is full of the mentality of an old father can ask such a question.

"...Maybe?" Gou Juanjing replied, "There are happy places and unhappy places."

Chopin: "For example?"

"Everyone's piano is different. It's not a matter of playing technique, but based on their own society, experience, and perspective. The differences brought about by these basic structures will be reflected in the music. It's so amazing that I seem to see many aspects of the world. .”

The pianist stroked his hair, encouraging him to continue.

"Pang Wei... is the most obvious among us. The completely different life trajectory filled his piano with anger and despair, but he was still struggling. The music was played until the moment of despair, but he was completely It's burning."

Those who are truly desperate cannot be burned, only ashes will be left on the ground.

Chopin was amused by his metaphor. "Didn't expect you to like him? I thought you liked Adamski better."

"Pang Wei's piano is really unique. I have never been in contact with such a piano. It is intense, contradictory... and never gives up."

Those who have not experienced it will never have such a piano sound.

Gou Juanjing said: "Of course Adamski is also very good. His piano is full of his own voice, with dramatic twists, lucky turning points, ups and downs..."

"And Amamiya Shuhei..."

"Ichinose Kai's piano is also unique..."

Chopin patiently listened to each one as he finished speaking. "These are all happy places, and where are the unhappy places?"

"I……"

It has been a long time since Goujuanjing has done such an in-depth analysis.

The older a person grows up, the more he will hide his true self, and sometimes he can't even find where he is.

Unable to face the dark side, unspeakable shame.

All dark emotions.

When the darkness accumulates to a certain level, the curse spirit will crawl out of it.

"I'm a little envious, maybe jealous."

Jealousy is one of the seven deadly sins of mankind.

"One time, just one time, a thought went through my head, 'Wouldn't it be easier if I played like my teacher?' Sorry, I know it's not right, but I can't help it."

This idea was especially clear on the stage of the second round.

After seeing other people's broken cocoons, when looking at yourself again, you will involuntarily start to worry.

Especially since he has heard a lot of works by the members of the Romantic Society, it is easy for him to imitate.

Not so much.

The invisible silk thread strangled his fingers, and no one knew that the dog Juanjing once gazed into the abyss from the edge of the cliff.

"I'm glad to hear that." Chopin went on: "There is nothing terrible about envy, nor shameful imitation."

"Your shame at this moment is proof that you have begun to become independent and awakened, Xiaojing."

The Pole bent down and hugged him. "You are always your worst enemy."

Gou Juanjing hugged Chopin back: "Is the teacher like this too?"

"So far, always, and probably always will be."

Gou Juanjing looked up at Chopin, the brown eyes of the Polish were the same as before, no, more beautiful than before.

He doesn't have the dazzling brilliance of Liszt, nor is he a long-sleeved and dancing character, but only those who are close to him know that besides the brilliance of talent, the Poles also have a gentle heart.

The boy pouted: "It's so difficult."

Chopin laughed: "It's super difficult."

"Remember the line in the movie we saw, 'Is life so hard, or is it only hard in childhood?'"

Gou Juanjing followed up with the next sentence: "Always like this."*
