The piano slides smoothly on the rocking cruise ship.

1900 was playing the piano calmly.

Just like the movement of the piano, the rocking of the cruise ship has nothing to do with him.

But in the process of playing elegantly and romantically, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, the piano loses control.

Breaking the glass in the hall.

Even the captain's door was not spared.

Although he got into a big trouble, 1900 didn't feel too guilty. He was like a child, trying to deal with it lightly.

But the experienced captain would not believe their lies.

As punishment, the two were sent to shovel coal in the boiler room.

during rest,

1900 vividly depicts a foggy scene in New Orleans.

This reminds Max of a rumor: a man was born on this ship and never set foot on land.

He originally thought that the person in front of him was the legendary one, but the description of New Orleans in 1900 made him change his mind.

After all, it is impossible for a person who has never been off a ship to describe it so realistically.

The workers' shouts brought Max back to reality.

He approached the person in charge and insisted that someone else was on board.

In order to prove myself,

He led the person in charge to board the cruise ship...

"The Pianist on the Sea" is a narrative in two timelines.

One timeline is the time spent in the band with Max on the ship in 1900.

Another line revolves around the cruise ship being idle and about to be destroyed, and Max goes on board to find it.

The two lines appear alternately.

Keep pushing forward.

Tell the story well.

Max took the person in charge to board the dilapidated cruise ship. On the one hand, he wanted to postpone the blasting time, and on the other hand, he wanted to find a way out among the ruins.

He concluded,

With the character of 1900, he is definitely still on board.

Both Max and 1900 were members of the ship's music scene.

They played ordinary music to entertain the upper class.

Sometimes, 1900 would also improvise some special tunes.

Captivate the audience with his amazing skills and varied melodies.

But only in third class,

Only in 1900 can he play the music that truly belongs to him.

Be all-encompassing and refuse to be ordinary.

Every time he hits the keys, his mind wanders to a different place.

Sometimes walking around central London.

Sometimes I lean on a train walking in the countryside.

Sometimes I sit quietly in the church and stare at the cross.

Anyone who has seen 1900 playing the piano will have an illusion.

He seemed to be playing the piano with four hands.

1900 also set a rule for himself.

He only plays the piano at sea.

So when the ship came into the harbor, he would stop playing.

Max once asked 1900 seriously, why don't you get off the ship? Even once.

It’s just a short walk.

Once you step over the pedal,

1900 will reach the peak of life.

Why not do it?

1900 replied: "I think people on land waste too much time asking why."

"When winter comes, they look forward to summer. When summer comes, they already start to fear winter. So people never get tired of traveling and are always looking for places where the four seasons are like spring."

"That kind of life is not for me."

one night,

1900 Playing the piano alone in the third class cabin.

Suddenly, an accordion echoed from the corner.

A down-and-out old man was moved by the sound of the piano and slowly told 1900 about his past.

He was left with nothing for various reasons.

There is only one little daughter left to depend on.

Later, he decided to make a change for the sake of his children.

One day, he accidentally saw the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life - the sea!

The sound of the waves told him to change his life and start over, life is infinite.

The timeline once again comes to just before the cruise ship is about to be blown up.

Max and his party arrived at the dilapidated hall.

He shouted 1900's name, but no one responded.

Once, 1900 showed Max his "insight ability". He could see the features in each person.

Such as status, voice, and breath.

The cruise ship docked again.

While others were disembarking to have fun, 1900 came to the communications room and dialed a number.

He planned to chat with strangers to relieve his loneliness.

Unexpectedly, the other party came up with a set of vulgar words.

It really left 1900 confused.

Suddenly two men in black rushed in menacingly.

1900 was so frightened that he ran away.

But the other party said that they were only responsible for delivering messages, because the man who invented jazz music wanted to have a piano duel with 1900!

That is Dou Qin!

This piano duel scene is probably the most impressive plot of "The Pianist on the Sea".

Audrey couldn't help but become nervous when she saw this.

Years of movie watching experience told her,

The most exciting and climactic plot is coming.

Douqin!

Will it be like pianists fighting against each other in real life?

Audrey imagined.

On the day of the piano duet, the guests on the cruise ship gathered together.

Amidst the roar of people,

The inventor of jazz who wanted to compete with 1900 pianos came calmly.

As if he was sure of victory.

Arrogant attitude.

Condescending.

With the emergence of this challenger.

The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet and became silent.

All eyes are on 1900 and challenger Morton.

Morton looked at 1900 sitting in front of the piano and said, "I was thinking, you took my seat."

"Excuse me, please give way."

Morton looked like he was in a position of superiority.

Looks like I need a beating...

With Audrey's violent temper, he kicked her crotch with a high heel.

Why are you so arrogant?

Audrey thought so in her heart.

Morton placed the cigarette he was smoking on the edge of the piano.

Then he sat down at the piano.

Reach out and play.

While Morton was playing the piano, Max had already made a bet. He put down a year's salary and bet 1,900 to win.

However, Morton is truly the man who claims to have invented jazz music.

Rather than saying he was playing the piano,

Rather, he was caressing the notes.

The song ends,

The cigarette burned just to the edge of the piano.

Not even ashes fell.

This shows that the rhythm of his playing was just right, the timing was just right, and the piano did not even vibrate at all...

Plays very steadily.

Seeing this scene, the audience burst into warm applause.

"It's your turn, sailor." Morton said condescendingly to 1900.

1900, who was not very interested in the duel, did not prepare in advance. He thought for a moment and then played a simple song "Silent Night".

As a result, it aroused doubts from people around him.

Morton felt that 1900 did not take this challenge seriously and felt insulted.

His face was very ugly.

Max was also a little unable to sit still.

He has suppressed his salary for a year.

1900!

Is this how you play?

I will eat dirt.

So he reminded 1900 to take it seriously, otherwise his salary would be wasted. But at this time, 1900 seemed to have been conquered by Morton's music and burst into tears.

Morton's performance is perfect.

To everyone's surprise, 1900 actually reproduced the new song perfectly after listening to it.

This surprised Morton.

You know, in this duel, both sides are improvising!

It is already very difficult for 1900 to restore Morton's music as much as possible in such a short period of time.

This is enough to illustrate the amazing talent of 1900.

despite this!

The people who didn't know the truth still booed 1900, thinking that 1900 was just repeating Morton's performance.

I don't think he is great at all.

A layman can listen to the excitement.

Listen to the experts.

Morton realized the power of 1900.

Moreover, 1900 perfectly reproduced his music, which was simply the greatest provocation and insult to him.

Morton was very angry.

"Use your butthole to imitate!" Morton said angrily to 1900.

Then he sat down at the piano again.

Play the piano very fast.

1900 was also angered by the other party's words. He was not interested in piano duels, but it did not mean that he could endure Morton's contempt and insult to him.

He listened to Morton's playing.

Realizing that he had to take it seriously, he could convince Morton and lose his face.

Subsequently,

1900 asked Max for a cigarette.

But he didn't light it,

Just put it on the piano.

"You asked for this! Bastard!" 1900 said to Morton.

He's going to start fighting back.

And Morton became angrier as he listened.

This time 1900 did not imitate Morton.

Instead, he played a song.

His hand speed is faster than Morton's, and his music is even better than Morton's!

In this plot, Su Chen asked 1900 to play "Flight of the Bumblebee". His fingers moved rapidly. The first thing he saw was two hands, then the audience saw four hands, and then they saw An afterimage of a hand...

One can imagine!

How fast he plays.

The playing is over.

1900 put the cigarette just now on the hot strings.

Then the cigarette was lit...

The strings are so hot!

The playing just now! What an amazing speed.

"You can smoke, I don't know how to smoke." 1900 handed the lit cigarette to Morton's eyes.

So cool!

Too pretentious!

When Audrey saw 1900's counterattack, her heart surged and she was extremely excited.

And the song played by 1900 is also very nice.

Audrey looked around.

I found that the audience in the theater became excited when they saw this section.

1900 puts a lit cigarette into Morton's mouth.

Only then did people realize that 1900 won the duel.

The applause was thunderous.

The story returns again to the time when the cruise ship was about to be blown up.

The person in charge of the cruise ship heard the story of 1900 and thought it was indeed an interesting thing.

But it is impossible to stop the blasting work.

at this point,

Max decided to give it one last try.

He got the record from the music store owner.

Play tunes from various locations on the ship.

Hope it attracts 1900's attention.

At this time, Max remembered the time when he recorded the record in 1900 on the cruise ship.

Recording on a cruise ship.

This is definitely the first time in the history of recording.

When 1900 was playing this piece, he kept looking at a young girl outside the window. It seemed that this piece was written for her.

When 1900 learned,

When his work was about to be copied into thousands of copies and sold around the world, he suddenly changed his mind and expressed that he did not want to be separated from his music.

Then he took away the only master piece.

actually.

1900 once wanted to give this record to that girl.

While he was hesitating, he overheard the conversation between the girl and others. It turns out that the other party is the daughter of the poor old man from before.

1900 was stunned for a moment.

But he didn't give up.

Once he sneaked into the women's cabin.

Just to take another look at the girl's face... She even kissed the girl gently on the lips while she was sleeping.

The cruise ship docked at a port in the Free State.

In the crowded crowd, 1900 finally stopped the girl. He briefly talked about his relationship with the girl's father, hoping that the girl could say hello to him.

Unfortunately, however,

He couldn't get the record out.

"You can come and see us! We live at No. 27 Mott Street! My father owns a fish shop..." The girl turned back to him.

"Maybe!" 1900 replied.

Maybe……

Maybe he considered leaving the cruise ship.

Maybe……

At this moment he knew that it would never be possible with the girl.

After the girl left, 1900 broke the record.

The girl was never mentioned again.

Everything returned to its former peace.

One day, 1900 told Max during dinner that he wanted to get off the boat and see what the sea looked like from land.

He wanted to hear the sound of the sea from the land.

Max fully supports this decision.

Because he really wanted to get off the ship at 1900.

Go and see the wonderful world outside.

On this day, 1900 said goodbye to his friends on the deck, and then he stepped onto the gangway connecting to the landing.

However, when he was halfway up the gangway.

He stopped suddenly.

He looked out at the tall buildings.

Looking at the so-called bustling city.

He threw away his hat.

Take a deep breath.

Then turn around!

Back on the cruise ship.

Audrey's heart tightened, "Why did he go back? Is he afraid? Or..."

Audrey couldn't understand.

She deeply hopes that 1900 can disembark.

Being able to see the outside world.

However, at the last moment, 1900 gave up and chose the cruise ship again.

perhaps!

The world of cruise ship accidents is too big to face with confidence.

Or maybe the outside world is too complicated, so complicated that 1900 is unwilling to abandon his own simplicity.

1900 never mentioned to anyone the reason why he returned to the cruise ship.

For a long time after that, 1900 didn't talk to anyone and stayed alone every day.

He seems to be thinking about something.

Then one day,

1900 restored the spirit of the past.

He said that he had figured everything out, just like the hands that no longer hesitated and continued to play his life on the black and white keys.

as time flows,

Max leaves the Virginia Good Cruise.

Left the sea.

Since then, the news of 1900 has been lost.

After Max played records on the abandoned cruise ship for several days, 1900 finally appeared.

He greeted Max.

"Hey, Conn, what's up? Are you seasick?" 1900 asked Max.

Reunited with old friends, Max laughed, with tears in his eyes, and all sorts of emotions welling up in his heart.

1900 said,

During the war, he played the piano for the wounded, and music allowed them to travel to another world calmly.

And Max said frankly,

He now has a bold idea.

Just join forces with 1900 to start a band, the future is bright.

As he spoke, he invited 1900 to disembark with him.

However, 1900 did not give any response...

Instead, he talked about how he felt when he almost landed on land.

1900 recalled that at that time he really wanted to get off the ship.

But when I think about it, there is everything in that infinitely extending city, except that there is no end. He couldn't take a step forward.

on a piano,

With the limited 88 keys, 1900 has the confidence to create unlimited music.

That was a lifestyle he could accept.

But that city is like a piano with countless keys.

except God,

No one can play music.

1900 has become accustomed to the limited world on the ship, and he will never be able to get off the ship.

1900 After all, we still didn’t get off the ship.

The day the cruise ship exploded.

1900 fingers are playing in the void, as if there is a piano there.

He looked up at the cruise ship.

he knows,

After a while, the cruise ship exploded!

His world!

About to be blown up.

boom!

A flash of fire engulfed everything on the sea.

Audrey's heart trembled!

Tears immediately flowed down.

1900 and his world were easily and ruthlessly destroyed just like that...
