This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

  Chapter 270 268. The best piano performance! Let's call it number one etude.

  Li Guang, Zhao Donghu, and Gu Jun all stared at Hu Xiaoshan with wide-eyed eyes.

  It was the first time they saw Hu Xiaoshan respecting a person so much in classical music...

  He has never had such a violent emotional reaction among any of the top talents from the world's major music schools that appeared before.

  Li Guang quickly asked: "Old Hu, what do you mean? You mean, Wang Cheng's performance is very good?"

Hu Xiaoshan's gaze was still fixed on Wang Cheng, his ears were almost pricked up, not wanting to miss any syllable, he nodded and said: "It's not just that simple. To be honest, I haven't concentrated on studying music art for a long time, maybe They are not qualified to comment on Wang Cheng's performance now."

"I can only be sure that I have never heard of the piece he played. Moreover, his piano playing level is at least one level higher than that of Sun Haibo and Phipps just now. I can't quantify how much more. , but it must be far beyond, not at the same level, in the field of pianos in the world, it may be one of the best existences."

   "I really can't imagine how Wang Cheng did it. It's really incredible. No one would believe it."

   This time, Li Guang, Zhao Donghu, and Gu Jun all understood, and then they looked at Wang Cheng even more bewildered and incredible.

   Co-authored…

   They brought back a world-class pianist?

   What is played is a work that has never appeared in the world, that is, it may be a work created by Wang Cheng himself?

  Thinking of all Wang Cheng's worries before them, and some private arrangements, the few of them were a little speechless, and felt a little ashamed in their hearts.

  It seems that I am a clown.

  Zhao Donghu murmured in a low voice: "How is it possible? He is only nineteen years old? Didn't he learn music before?"

Li Guang let out a long breath, as if he wanted to release all the pressure and negative emotions accumulated in his heart. He shook his head and said, "If you want to understand Wang Cheng, then you have to think too much. Those popular songs he released, which lyrics and music Haven't the arrangement and arrangement crushed the current pop music circle? Liu Shengjie and the others were so crushed that they couldn't hold their heads up. His humble room inscriptions and chivalrous conduct hung over the head of the entire Chinese literary world like two knives, making the entire Chinese literary world No one in the literary world dares to speak."

   "So, he has such a good piano level, so he can understand..."

  Actually, Li Guang added a sentence in his heart—I understand what a fart!

  Anyway, he himself can't figure it out, can't figure it out.

  However, he doesn't need to figure it out, he just needs to know how to make good use of this to bring enough benefits to himself.

At this time, Hu Xiaoshan had already closed his eyes, and began to listen to Wang Cheng's music with his heart. At the same time, he said in a low voice: "Don't talk, just close your eyes and listen. Not everyone has the opportunity to play a piano of this level." Listening to it is definitely a kind of enjoyment, it is really good. This song is a little warm, a little sad, and a little longing, just like first love..."

  Zhao Donghu, Gu Jun, and Li Guang heard Hu Xiaoshan's words were mysterious, so they closed their eyes and tried it.

   Instantly.

  The three of them shook slightly at the same time, their facial muscles twitched slightly, then opened their eyes at the same time, and looked at each other, all of them were shocked and amazed.

   Gu Jun said in disbelief: "The imagery of this music is too strong! I really seem to see the feeling of my first love."

Hu Xiaoshan still closed his eyes and said: "This is the real master of music art, who can use music to perfectly mobilize your deepest emotions, and can paint a picture for you, so that you know what he wants to express! Now all There is no more than one hand in the world who can play this level of musicians."

   "However, I think there may be fewer, or even none!"

  After Hu Xiaoshan closed his eyes and listened, he truly felt how wonderful Wang Cheng's piano performance was at this time, and gave a higher evaluation again.

   Both Zhao Donghu and Gu Jun closed their eyes again, to appreciate the wonderful music carefully.

On the other hand, Li Guang looked at the judges and found that they were still standing there at this time, but they were all listening to Wang Cheng's piano performance with their eyes closed, just like Hu Xiaoshan. The professors also closed their eyes and listened, feeling the music with their hearts, such as Tian Wen, Xu Chaohua and others.

  Several contestants in the background were also listening to Wang Cheng's performance carefully, but they didn't close their eyes to feel it. Instead, they all stared at Wang Cheng at this time with wide eyes.

Li Guang also looked over and saw that Wang Cheng was also playing with his eyes closed, his fingers dancing on the keys of the piano like ten elves. With an atmosphere that fits perfectly with the music itself, it seems that it is a part of the music itself.

  Hoo...

  Li Guang took another deep breath.

he knows…

  Wang Cheng is really good at playing the piano.

   How awesome it is, he doesn't know.

   At this time, he also slowly closed his eyes, enjoying the music at this moment first.

  Wang Cheng himself didn't think so much, he just played the Fur Elise in his memory completely according to his own ideas.

In his previous life, he played the role of a pianist. For this reason, he spent a lot of time going to Yangyin to attend piano lessons, so his technical level in piano performance is definitely not low. In his previous life, he was able to reach the level of a professional pianist. But now it has been strengthened again, playing a feeling and artistic conception that he could not have dreamed of before.

but…

  He didn't bother to think about where this change came from.

  Because this does not affect his health and longevity.

  This Fur Alice is a very simple piano piece that can even be said to be a must-learn piano piece for beginners, but every top pianist in the world has played it many times in public recitals.

   It can be said that this piano piece is the most well-known and most listened to in the world that Wang Cheng lived in in his previous life.

  It is pleasant to the ear, with touching artistic conception, complete and exquisite structure, simple and easy to learn, and it can be said that it has reached the realm of great simplicity in music art.

   Therefore, every top pianist will play this piece deliberately to prove his level and realm.

But Wang Cheng didn't have so many thoughts when playing this piece of music at this time, purely because this piece of music is simple, it is the piano piece he is most familiar with, and it doesn't take long, it's just a piano piece. It takes more than three minutes to finish the performance, which saves time.

  The audience became extremely quiet!

   No one speaks...

   Even most people are listening to music with their eyes closed.

Wen Yixiao, An Keru, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, Lin Mi, Yu Hong, Chen Yuqi, etc., all had faces full of enjoyment, but they all had their eyes open, because they all wanted to see Wang Cheng at that moment. The figure full of artistic conception, and the face full of music and art, don't want to miss a second.

  The artistic conception of the piece played by Wang Cheng almost fits perfectly with their mood at this time. There is that kind of joy and a touch of sadness that breeds in the contradiction.

  It seems that this song by Wang Cheng was created for each of them individually.

but…

   More than three minutes passed slowly.

  Wang Cheng also pressed the last few buttons with his hands, and then his hands slowly fell, dissipating with the music.

   Suddenly there was no sound in the entire hall.

  At this time, Wang Cheng opened his eyes, and the strong artist temperament on his body gradually disappeared, replaced by the lazy aura, and said to the microphone next to him: "Thank you!"

  Then, Wang Cheng stood up, turned and walked backstage to leave.

at this time.

  All the people in the audience woke up.

   Thunderous applause came in an instant.

Lu Jiaqi, Zhang Haijie, Professor Haixi and other judges were still standing there, applauding vigorously. Everyone had suppressed excitement on their faces, and there were many doubts in their eyes. They couldn't wait to say something, But thinking of Director Zhao Donghu's exhortation to them just now, and Wang Cheng's back immediately stepping down, the judges were all helpless, but the curiosity and doubts in their hearts accumulated.

  Thousands of spectators in the audience applauded more enthusiastically.

  Chen Yuqi and Yu Hong stood beside Tian Wen and applauded vigorously.

Chen Yuqi's pretty face was flushed with excitement, and she asked Tian Wen beside her, "Mom, Wang Cheng's piano performance is really nice. This is the best piano performance I have ever heard. Even a top pianist didn't give me this feeling! By the way, what is this piece of music? Why haven't I heard it before?"

Yu Hong also said with a slightly trembling voice: "Wang Cheng's accomplishments on the piano are definitely beyond the imagination of all of us. Aunt Tian, ​​if I'm not wrong, this piece of music by Wang Cheng may be a piece composed by himself." A new song?"

   A new piano piece of your own composition?

  Chen Yuqi and the people around her slightly widened their eyes when they heard this.

However, Tian Wen nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, this piece should be a new piano piece composed by him. Because I don't have any influence. As long as I have heard the piano piece in the world, I will know it. I have an impression, even if I can’t say the name, but I will feel familiar after hearing it.”

   "I have never heard of this piece by Wang Cheng. However, given the simplicity of this piece, its structure is complete and exquisite, if it is a piece that has already been released, it is absolutely impossible for it to remain unknown."

   "So, the only possibility is that this song was composed by Wang Cheng himself and has not been released to the public. This is the first public performance!"

Chen Yuqi was full of admiration, looked at the back of Wang Cheng walking towards the backstage, and said with admiration: "Why is he so powerful? He has mastered two master-level calligraphy, and he can also write masterpieces such as humble room inscriptions and knights. Has the piano level of a music master and can compose piano music, is this still a human being?"

Chen Yuqi is from a famous family, her mother Tian Wen is a guzheng master of Yangyin, her father is a professor and leader of Peking University, and her grandfather is also an older generation in the cultural circle of Beijing. There are some top talents abroad, but compared with Wang Cheng, these top talents look mediocre...

  But, Wang Cheng is only nineteen years old!

  Chen Yuqi only felt that she was nothing in front of Wang Cheng.

  Yu Hong also felt a little ashamed, and said in a low voice: "This is the real genius."

Tian Wen also admired: "Before I wanted to invite him to come to Yangyin for exchange and study, and I also wanted to give advice on his classical music. Now it seems that he is almost as good as me. In the whole world, there is no one who can give advice on classical music to him." , may not exist anymore! That is, he is too indifferent. Professor Lu and the judges wanted to have a chat with Wang Cheng to learn more about this piano piece by Wang Cheng, but Wang Cheng didn't give them a chance, so he just left ..."

   "Perhaps, this is a genius. He lives in his own world, so he can understand music so thoroughly."

  After hearing this, Chen Yuqi and Yu Hong nodded in agreement. Looking at Wang Cheng's back, there were stars of admiration in their eyes.

   Maybe this is a genius.

   Don't talk to mortals!

  Even though, the mortals he faced were already top geniuses in the eyes of others.

Xu Chaohua also whispered to Yan Yu: "I should have invited Wang Cheng to our school at any cost. If Wang Cheng could take up a post in our college, our college might be upgraded to a higher level. With this skill in piano performance , is enough to stand at the pinnacle of world classical music.”

Yan Yu's eyes were also shining with admiration. The disappointment of not being able to hear Wang Cheng personally perform the general order had disappeared without a trace. In front of Cheng, she looked extremely small, and she couldn't even remember what Phipps and Sun Haibo were playing. Her mind was full of the picture of Wang Cheng playing the piano just now, and her mind was full of the music like a trickling stream. .

   "This is the real art of music!"

  Yan Yu murmured in a low voice.

  Not far away, Lin Dongqing and Lin Mi, father and daughter, were also applauding vigorously.

Lin Mi also gave the same evaluation: "This is the most beautiful piano performance I have ever heard. It is a spiritual journey. I have never heard this piece before. It may be Wang Cheng's original creation. It is too powerful. "

  Lin Dongqing also said excitedly: "Well, it's really amazing. I think now, you may not be worthy of others..."

Forehead…?

  Lin Mi regained consciousness for a moment, looked at his father unkindly and said, "Dad, what did you say?"

  Lin Dongqing hurriedly shook his head: "Nothing!"

  The audience in many circles around were talking excitedly.

   "This piano performance is much better than the talented players in the previous two competitions."

   "Stop talking, after listening to Wang Cheng's performance, I have already forgotten those two contestants."

   "Wang Cheng's piano is so good, handsome, and talented. God really prefers Wang Cheng alone. He gave him all the good things in the world?"

   "Hey, jealousy makes me unrecognizable!"

   "Think of something good. The ratings of this program may not be low. Then we can all get a wave of popularity. Think about how to hype it."

  …

Wang Cheng, who was walking towards the backstage, didn't care about the thunderous applause behind him, and came backstage calmly. Seeing the adoring and surprised eyes of Li Guang, Zhao Donghu, Gu Jun, Hu Xiaoshan and other program directors, he just lightly He nodded slightly, and then wanted to go to his seat and sit down to continue reading.

  However, several contestants came in front of Wang Cheng.

  Sun Haibo and Phipps, who just finished the game, were the most excited, and also a little ashamed.

  Because they knew that their performance just now was nothing compared to Wang Cheng's piano performance.

   All of a sudden, it was meaningless to set off their game like chickens pecking at each other.

  Sun Haibo did not have the joy of winning and advancing, and Phipps did not have the frustration of being eliminated.

   After all, even Wang Cheng, who is so awesome, didn't participate in their competition, so what's the point of their winning or losing?

  Sun Haibo immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand excitedly to Wang Cheng and said: "Wang Cheng, hello! I am Sun Haibo, a student of the Piano Department of Central Music. Nice to meet you. Your performance just now was really great."

   Phipps also stepped forward and said in English: "Hi, I'm Phipps, your piano performance is really great."

  The others, Yan Qing, Zheng Yun, and Eva were just about to introduce themselves and get acquainted with Wang Cheng.

  However, Wang Cheng ignored them and walked directly among them, as if he didn't see them, he went back to his seat and sat down, picked up his book and read it!

  The smiles on the faces of Sun Haibo, Phipps and others disappeared.

  They have been the favored children of heaven since they were young, and they will receive courtesy from everyone they meet. How have they ever been ignored like this?

certainly…

  When Wang Cheng entered the arena just now, they had seen Wang Cheng's indifference, as if completely ignoring everyone, but they were still proud and believed that if Wang Cheng knew who they were and what they had achieved, they would never ignore them.

   But at this time, they were sure that Wang Cheng really ignored them.

   Several people were silent for a while in embarrassment.

Then Sun Haibo took a deep breath, stepped forward cheekily and sat opposite Wang Cheng, smiled at Wen Yixiao who had been sitting quietly beside Wang Cheng, and said to Wang Cheng: "Hello, Wang Cheng. The piece you played just now , may I know the name? I like this piece very much. Although it is short, I can hear that the structure is very complete, and the performance is very simple, but it is very pleasant and has a lofty artistic conception.”

   "No one who likes piano will refuse such a piece. Did you write this piece yourself?"

  Beside Phipps, Yan Qing, Zheng Yun, and the accidental players did not go far, and listened with pricked ears.

   Li Guang, Hu Xiaoshan, Zhao Donghu, and Gu Jun also pricked up their ears, wanting to know the answer from Wang Cheng.

but…

   Wow!

  There is only a crisp sound of flipping a book.

  Wang Cheng didn't answer, and he still didn't even look at Sun Haibo.

  It seems that Wang Cheng lives in another world, as if they have no intersection with them.

  Hoo...

  Sun Haibo's face turned red, feeling a little uncomfortable.

  However, there was nothing he could do.

  He dared not be rude to Wang Cheng.

  Just now, Wang Cheng's level of playing the piano has surpassed several national-level pianists he knew in Yangyin, and also surpassed several top international pianists he met when he was studying at Curtis Institute.

   Such a piano master, he really doesn't want to offend, and he doesn't dare to offend.

  Phips, Zheng Yun, and Yan Qing were a little disappointed, and they looked at Wang Cheng even more speechlessly.

Wen Yixiao sat quietly beside Wang Cheng, neither talking nor doing anything, just supporting quietly, enjoying the feeling of being beside Wang Cheng, although she was also very curious and wanted to know the answers to the questions Sun Haibo asked , but she would not ask, but picked up Wang Cheng's thermos, helped Wang Cheng open the lid, and gently handed it to Wang Cheng.

  Wang Cheng was slightly taken aback, took a sip from the thermos, and said softly, "Thank you!"

  Wen Yixiao smiled like a flower, showing a smile from the bottom of her heart: "You're welcome!"

Li Guang took a step forward, sat down on the other side of Wang Cheng, and said in a low voice, "Wang Cheng, the performance just now was awesome, it was so good. It exceeded all of our expectations. Did you write this song yourself?" ? Our program team needs to know more information before we can promote it!"

  Sun Haibo who was about to leave, Phipps and the others stopped again, raised their ears, and looked at Wang Cheng.

  Hu Xiaoshan, Zhao Donghu and the others also looked at Wang Cheng, wanting to know the answer.

  Wang Cheng replied calmly: "Well, I thought of it in my spare time."

  Everyone around listened and took a deep breath to suppress their excited emotions.

  Although they all guessed that this song was written by Wang Cheng, after receiving Wang Cheng's affirmative answer, they couldn't help being excited.

because…

  The field of classical music art in the world has not developed for more than half a century, and no outstanding new works have come out for more than half a century.

  Many top pianists are just constantly repeating the music masters before, the classic works left by the music masters.

  For example, the piano pieces played by Sun Haibo, Phipps and others during the competition are all classic masterpieces that have been passed down for hundreds of years.

   As for the song "To Alice" played by Wang Cheng just now, they all agree in their hearts. They are willing to perform this work publicly, bringing new voices to the field of classical music art that has been stagnant for more than half a century.

  Hu Xiaoshan, Zhao Donghu, Gu Jun and other people in the program group were even more excited after hearing this. They knew that their program would definitely explode.

  Excitement and surprise also flashed in Li Guang's eyes, and he quickly asked: "Then what's the name of this song? When we introduce it, we need to write the name."

  He knew that Wang Cheng was serious about his work and wanted to do it well, so he talked with Wang Cheng in the way of working dialogue.

  Hu Xiaoshan and the others also had learned expressions.

  Thinking flashed in Wang Cheng's eyes. Of course, it was impossible to say the name To Alice, but he was too lazy to think of a new name, so he said flatly, "I don't know!"

Forehead…

  Everyone around was taken aback.

have no idea?

  Li Guang immediately asked, "Have you chosen a name yet?"

  Wang Cheng nodded: "Yes!"

  Li Guang: "Why don't you choose a name? It would be a pity to have such a good work without a name."

  Wang Cheng shook his head: "Too lazy to think of names!"

  Sun Haibo, Phipps and others were heartbroken when they heard it...

  Such a beautiful, complete, exquisite and simple piece of music is destined to be spread on a large scale. If you can choose a good name, it will definitely be very meaningful.

  They all wished they could go forward and help Wang Cheng find a name, add their own names in the title of the song, and let their names spread around the world with this song!

  However, they knew that it was just their fantasy.

  Hu Xiaoshan stepped forward and said seriously: "Wang Cheng, you can't do without a name. It's hard to introduce at that time, why don't you think about it?"

  Wang Cheng frowned slightly, knowing that there must be a name, and said immediately: "Then call it No. 1 etude."

  Etude No. 1...

  Everyone around heard that the corners of their mouths twitched.

  Wen Yixiao, who was quiet and quiet, trembled when she heard this.

  Sun Haibo, Phipps, Zheng Yun, Yan Qing and others looked at Wang Cheng speechlessly...

  This name is too perfunctory, right?

   Didn't you even hide it?

   Ignore the existence of these people too much, right?
