Chapter 982 The quarter-finals begin!
In front of a delicate Stanway upright piano, a pair of hands were playing wildly on the keyboard!
The ten fingers rise and fall, hitting the keys like raindrops. At the same time, a sound of the piano like a storm surged out from the fingers!
This is Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. At this moment, the person who played it was Chen Hao who was just seen by Chu Yang at the elevator entrance!
This is a small piano store located next to the Utrecht Municipal Concert Hall, and it also provides temporary practice places for contestants.
The door of the piano room was closed tightly, and the sound insulation was very good. The sound of the piano like a raging wave was not leaked.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Hao's amazing "Madness 2" did not cause any greater riots!
Mania 2, which contains the sound of killing, is no longer a simple piano piece. When ordinary people hear such music, they may even be affected by the sound of the piano and fall into a real state of madness!
Before he truly followed Luo Qianqian to practice and enter her "Le Shen Gate", Chen Hao still felt a little guilty about not fulfilling his promise. After all, he had an oral agreement with Chu Yang, but he lost the game, but he did not report to Huayin Entertainment as promised.
However, when Luo Qianqian showed him her "Ledao" charm for the first time, Chen Hao went crazy!
Faced with such magical power, as a piano talent, he could not refuse it at all, just like a photographer who saw the most beautiful scenery and a foodie who saw the peerless delicacies!
Go to his promise and go to his registration!
He wants to get such power! He wants to use such power to defeat the man who brought him shame!
More than a month of closed-door practice completely changed Chen Hao's previous understanding of piano and music. Before this, he always thought that music was pure music. It was a work of art for people to appreciate, entertain and enjoy spiritually. However, in the past month, he saw another power of music!
That is a kind of power that can control the world and look down on all living beings!
That is a power that can turn people into God!
Chen Hao was completely immersed in such power and could not extricate himself! He practiced day and night like crazy. In addition to practicing the piano, he just meditated and breathed according to the strange oral verbal trauma taught him!
He gradually realized that his ten fingers were becoming more and more powerful, his touch keys became more and more sensitive, and his thinking became more and more agile...
All changes happen unknowingly.
During this period, this sect leader, who was so beautiful and cold, commented twice on his performance, which were two unforgettable comments for him in his life!
There is no guidance on technical details, only a grasp of the inner "power" of music. She taught this piano talent how to turn music into her own "weapon"!
Chen Hao has been playing for two hours in a row. If he had been in the past, he had already sweated all over now. The high-intensity piano performance was no less than the high-intensity physical labor. But now for him, playing the complete set of Liszt's super skills, plus these rhapsodies, fantasies, etc., is as simple as eating and drinking water for him!
"Chu Yang, I must defeat you!" In the music with a hint of fanatic color, Chen Hao looked terrifying and his hands burst out with the greatest strength!
Stanway let out an explosive high-intensity chord. If there were ordinary people here, they would probably be shaken to the ground by the sound of the piano!
Although it is only a month of short-term training, the sound of Killing is the fastest entry and the most obvious effect among all the five tones. Because it is simply used for attack, the music categories that can be integrated are relatively single. Fortunately, many of Liszt's works have a kind of fanaticism. For Chen Hao, it is not difficult to integrate the meaning of Killing into these songs!
He believed that if such a piano sound appeared on the Liszt Cup piano competition, it would definitely shock those old guys.
And that hateful guy Chu Yang!
Chen Hao secretly swore in his heart that sooner or later, he would cultivate Ledao to the level of the Luo Sect Master, and then, he would use the sound of killing to shake the guy's heart with his own hands!
After coming out of this piano store, Chen Hao slowly walked to the street. There were still three days left before the international trial competition, and he had time.
The leader of the sect, the extremely beautiful but extremely cold woman, said before leaving, echoed in his mind.
"Defeat Chu Yang and win this championship is my only requirement for you. If you can't do it, you won't have to come back to see me!"
His voice was cold and decisive, without any slight sensation. Chen Hao did not dare to doubt the authenticity of her words at all, and he agreed without hesitation!
Now I am carrying a unique skill. Even if Liszt comes alive, it is impossible for me to play these works better than me. If this is the case, I can't beat that guy. I don't need to deal with the sect leader, and I can still kill myself!
"Chen Hao? It's really you? Stop me!" A silver bell-like voice sounded. It was the sound that Chen Hao had heard in his dreams countless times, but at this moment, this voice was not so friendly to him!
"Wan'er?" Chen Hao raised his head, and when he saw the pretty dream lover, he stood in front of him, and immediately screamed in surprise.
But he soon discovered the man beside her, the one he hated the most.
"Chen Hao." Chu Yang and Chen Hao looked at each other and greeted him lightly.
Chu Yang had a little bit of good feelings for this guy before. After all, although he was a little proud, his piano foundation was still good. But now, Chu Yang's favorability for this guy has almost disappeared.
If you don’t keep your promise, there is a problem with this person’s character! How can such a person learn good music? If you are not honest with yourself, how can you be honest with music?
"Chu Yang, we're meeting again!" Chen Hao's eyes dodged at first, but when he thought that he was about to defeat him in the game, his confidence suddenly became enough again, he looked straight at his gaze and said loudly.
"Aren't you going to explain?" Chu Yang asked him with a faint smile.
"There is nothing to explain. Yes, I didn't report to your company, but so what? Chu Yang, don't think that you can be proud of me if you win a game. I will take back all the things I lost before in this game!" Chen Hao looked at Chu Yang, making a low voice, with a ferocious expression!
"Oh? It seems that you are so confident. It seems that you are in good condition recently. However, I have no interest in people who are untrustworthy. If you want to beat me, then show your skills. Wan'er, let's go." Chu Yang said lightly.
He was not very angry about Chen Hao's rebellion. Poor piano playing is a technical problem, and failure to keep promises is a matter of character. For people with character problems, even if he begs to join his Leshen Sect, Chu Yang would not give him such a chance.
Chen Hao didn't know that in his opinion, that job was completely a humiliating. However, it was the great opportunity that many musicians dream of!
"Chen Hao, I really didn't expect you to be such a person." Wan'er walked past Chen Hao and said contemptuously in a tone of contempt.
In the past, Chen Hao was famous in the academy and played the piano well. Wan'er's impression of this person is quite good. However, after this incident, the only favorable feeling has disappeared!
Such a man who doesn't even talk about credit is really not worth talking to him. Wan'er doesn't even want to look at him again.
After the two returned to the hotel and enjoyed the local delicacies, they visited the night view of the city. It has to be said that Utrecht is really a very cultural city. Unlike the big, fast and busy rhythm in Yanjing, Shanghai and Shanghai in China, there is a sense of leisure and art everywhere. Walking here can easily relax people's mood.
Three days passed quickly, and Chu Yang had already prepared. He did not continue practicing within these few days. He did not need a "hot hand" that is very important to other contestants. With his physical fitness, even if he doesn't play the piano for a year or two, there will be no joint rigidity.
During these three days, Chu Yang completely relaxed and enjoyed the wonderful "two-man world" with Wan'er. At the same time, he secretly decided in his heart that after the game, on the one hand, the Leshen Sect will be officially announced, and on the other hand, he will officially go to Wan'er's house to meet her parents and make the relationship between the two public. In the past, Chu Yang did not have such strength, so naturally he would not have such confidence. After all, the big family behind Wan'er was still very afraid of Chu Yang. But now this problem is no longer there. If Wan'er's family does not agree, Chu Yang can take Wan'er away and move directly to the island. When he has arranged the defense formation on the island, I believe that even if the country makes things difficult for him, he will not be able to cause trouble for him!
Of course, if the problem can be solved successfully, Chu Yang still doesn't want things to go to this point. He believes that as long as he shows his strength a little, Wan'er's family will still make the right choice.
One morning three days later, Chu Yang and Wan'er had breakfast and walked towards the Utrecht Municipal Concert Hall, where the competition was located.
The Utrecht Municipal Concert Hall is located in the center of the city, opposite to it is a large garden, with a very beautiful environment. This concert hall is also called the "Liszt" concert hall, which is naturally due to the Liszt Master Cup. The Liszt Master Cup once every four years and has become a fixed festival in the city. Every time at this time, the Utrecht city will become a lively ocean.
The two of them walked slowly along a street full of European style to the garden square in front of the concert hall. Before they could reach the door of the concert hall, they could already feel the atmosphere of the competition.
The streets are full of people, locals, outsiders, men, women, elderly people, children... They wear all kinds of bright clothes and take photos on the grass in front of the concert hall from time to time.
Under the shade of trees and by the steps, you can see folk musicians improvised everywhere. Although they are improvised on the street, they all show extremely high musical literacy and skills, which often wins warm applause from the audience.
Some contestants and relatives and friends in competition costumes also took photos in front of the concert hall. For most pianists, being able to go here to participate in the quarterfinals is already a huge success. As for rankings, it is of course better to get them, but for ordinary pianists, it is quite difficult for such top-level world piano competitions, and it is very difficult to get the final ranking.
Here we also want to explain that if the Liszt Masters Cup competition system is based on normal procedures, it will take four rounds of selection. It is the "International Trials", "Quart-finals", "Second-finals" and "Finals". However, people like Chu Yang and Lang Lang who hold the "Super Judge" recommendation letter do not need to participate in the international Trials, and can directly enter the quarter-finals. There are not many people in the world who are qualified for "Super Judges", but Graffman, the dean of the Curtis Conservatory of Music in the United States, Zhou Guangren, professor of the China Central Conservatory of Music, and the famous Russian pianist Kissin, all of them have this qualification. Because they have already achieved success in the international piano music scene, they do not need to participate in such competitions to prove themselves. At the same time, because they are famous, their recommendations are very substantial. Of course, these people will not recommend a person of average level to participate in the competition, which will ruin their reputation in vain.
Chu Yang's recommended quota was given to him by Zhou Guangren. Among the top international music colleges, the Central Conservatory of Music is actually relatively low, but because of Zhou Guangren's existence, the piano department of the alto can also get a quota. This is also an important reason why the piano department of the alto has always been superior to the piano departments of other domestic music colleges.
Even if you enter the quarter-finals, the next competition is still relatively difficult. The semi-finals require players to perform 35 minutes of performances and select the repertoire, but they must include one of the seven sets of repertoire specified in the competition. These repertoire are classic repertoires by Lister, and they are also very difficult to do. Lister's piano works are very difficult, not to mention that they were specially selected by the competition organizing committee.
Chu Yang has always been very surprised. With Chen Hao's level, how did he get this recommended place, but the game is about to come, and he didn't think much about this question. At this moment, he never thought that behind Chen Hao, there was a big secret like a bombshell for him!
Chu Yang, who showed his own contestant ID at the door of the concert hall, separated from Wan'er and walked into the preparation room specially provided for the contestants. In another hour, the competition will officially begin! (To be continued...)
