The world's number one pianist

The next day, He Shen woke up from the bed and sat down on the side automatically. As a result, he didn't sit on the piano bench, but fell to the ground with a thud. Reading

The strong pain from his butt woke He Shen up from his sleep and gradually realized...

He was still in Zhongzhou and didn't go home with the main group.

So, he was in the hotel at this time, not in his own home!

There was no piano next to his bed.

Looking at the empty corridor and the ticking clock, He Shen's brain didn't react for a while, and he just sat on the ground with his eyes empty.

After a while, he barely woke up, rubbed his head, went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and washed his face.

At this moment, the time was just past six o'clock.

He Shen changed his clothes, set out from the hotel, and walked towards the private school.

Since the school had been rented, the school administrator also sent the crew a key to prevent them from not being able to enter the school when shooting night scenes.

He Shen happened to ask the school administrator for a key to the concert hall, and practiced in the concert hall when he was free.

He Shen walked into the largest concert hall, looked at the sky, and found that it was already a sign of gradually getting brighter at this time.

The sunlight outside was almost enough to shine into the concert hall through the window.

Therefore, the entire concert hall was not extremely dark, and in fact, every place could be seen clearly.

It was just that the light that could be seen clearly seemed a little gloomy.

He Shen actually did not have a particularly great demand for sunlight, after all, it was just practicing fingers.

He did not want to practice by looking at the score, he just needed to play normally.

He Shen walked to the piano, sat down, put his hands on the piano, and began to practice once a day without fail.

However, since he had been preparing for the competition in recent days, He Shen had very little time to practice basic skills during the preparation period.

Most of the time later, He Shen was acting as an artistic instructor, guiding those people to readjust their works.

Therefore, He Shen had not paid attention to the practice of basic skills for at least several days.

He Shen quickly put his hands on the keyboard, and without thinking too much, he immediately pressed his hands down.

When...

Starting from the C major scale, move upward at a speed of 144.

Then it is C minor, C sharp major, C sharp minor...

Based on semitones, crawl slowly towards the top step by step.

Then, when playing G major, the overall sound suddenly dropped an octave.

Drop an octave and continue to crawl slowly upward.

Finally, it stayed in C major again.

He Shen looked at his hands and nodded silently.

The previous experience of the 100,000-word scale was not in vain. Even if he hadn't practiced the piano for several days, it still gave him a lot of help, so that his state would not fall to the bottom.

Instead, it remained at a certain level and was always stable.

Seeing this, He Shen was barely a little relieved, and slowly increased the speed of his hands, raising the speed level to the top.

From 144, it increased to 169...

Then it continued to increase...

Finally, it stopped at 220!

The metronome beats 220 times a minute, and four notes are played at a time.

That is, 880 notes are played in one minute.

It's not that He Shen doesn't want to speed up.

But if he continues to speed up, the quality of each note in his hand can't be guaranteed.

At that time, each note will basically only have granularity, and nothing else.

So, he doesn't need to go faster.

However, even so, if you look at He Shen's hand from above at this moment, you can feel that He Shen's hand is just like flying over, flying directly over the keyboard.

Gliding back and forth, passing quickly...

And it's not just the octave scale, there are also the sixth scale, the third scale...

A lot of different scales ran out of He Shen's hand.

The speed of each scale is 144 at the beginning, and it keeps running upwards, gradually reaching a speed of 200+.

After about an hour, He Shen finally finished playing all the scales.

At this moment, sweat stains gradually appeared on his back.

He Shen slowly let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.

Now, the scales he is best at have ended, so the next step is the other more difficult parts.

Finger independence exercises, harmony and chord exercises, etc.

Without thinking too much, He Shen's hands were placed directly on the piano keyboard, listening to the timbre coming from his hands, just listening quietly.

The clever changes in the strength of his hands made the sound of the same chord more layered and beautiful.

Time passed slowly in the constant practice.

The sunlight outside continued to pour in with He Shen's practice, gradually occupying the entire concert hall.

Finally, at half past eight, the sun outside finally rose!

He Shen also finished the compulsory course he had to take every morning.

The simplest, basic skills practice.

Da...

Da...

Da...

Just as He Shen finished practicing and stood up from the piano, a noisy sound came from the door of the concert hall.

"Oh, the director told us to come early yesterday. It's 8:30 in the morning now, so it should be considered early, right?"

"Of course it is. We came so early, of course it is!"

"By the way, have you heard about the recent news, such as a veteran singer's disgrace..."

"Of course I know, but unfortunately he is not Chinese, and he has not committed any crime, so we can only condemn him morally, which is a pity..."

"But anyway, he should not be able to make money?"

"Who knows?"

Soon, the door of the concert hall was slowly pushed open.

A group of people walked in from the door of the concert hall while discussing various gossips and eating breakfast.

Seeing He Shen sitting on the piano bench, his body froze and he showed an embarrassed look.

"He, Teacher He, why are you here?"

"Practicing the piano."

He Shen spoke lightly, stepped down from the stage, walked in front of everyone, nodded to everyone, and asked casually: "Is there any breakfast nearby?"

"Uh... yes, it's on the snack street next door..."

Everyone looked at He Shen, swallowed their saliva, and didn't know what to say.

They looked at the time. It was only about 8:30 in the morning, and He Shen had just gotten up from the piano.

Looking at the sweat that slightly soaked his clothes, it was obvious that he definitely didn't just start practicing the piano.

At least, judging by the sweat, he has been practicing for at least an hour?

In addition, it took about half an hour to walk from the hotel to here, which means that he came here at least at seven o'clock?

Everyone looked at each other, looked at the breakfast in each other's hands, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

Just now, I said that I must be the first one to come, working so early.

As a result, you look at other teachers, getting up from bed at seven o'clock and starting a day's work.

They came at 8:30, and they thought they were early?

Hiss...

Everyone didn't know what to say for a moment, so they had to quickly walk to their respective posts, pretending that they didn't hear anything, and prepare for today's task.

He Shen looked at these people, not knowing why they looked so bad when they saw him.

But it didn't matter to him, after all, he was not responsible for guiding these people.

He Shen shook his head and was about to push open the door of the concert hall and go out to buy some breakfast.

There was another sound of footsteps outside the door.

Soon, Xu Yuqi pushed open the door and walked into the concert hall in a hurry, followed by Sister Li who had met before.

When Sister Li saw He Shen, she was obviously stunned, and immediately nodded to him, and then followed behind Xu Yuqi.

Xu Yuqi didn't notice He Shen at all. She walked quickly into the concert hall and saw that there were not many people in the concert hall, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh... I thought I was late, but luckily, no one has come yet."

"Yesterday the director asked me to come early to prepare, and I forgot to ask the time..."

As she spoke, Xu Yuqi stretched out her hand to fan herself, looked at the people around her, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe, as expected, I am still very hardworking! Much harder than those big shot people! Hehehe..."

"By the way, have you seen Teacher He? If you see Teacher He, remember to remind me!"

As she spoke, she turned her head and saw He Shen standing at the door. Especially when she saw He Shen sweating, her smile suddenly froze.

She coughed a little awkwardly and whispered to He Shen.

"Um, Teacher He, good morning, when...when did you come?"

"..."

He Shen looked at Xu Yuqi, took out his mobile phone, checked the time, thought for a while, and hesitated.

"Six o'clock?"

Xu Yuqi: "..."

The staff member eating the buns: "..."

The staff member who just guessed that He Shen would come at seven o'clock: "..."

Xu Yuqi looked at He Shen, covered her face and squatted silently...

I, I just said that I was very diligent in front of a person who got up at six o'clock and practiced piano for two hours every morning...

This...

It's too embarrassing...

The staff standing on the side didn't dare to say anything.

They always thought that He Shen probably got up at around seven in the morning, walked over here, and started his daily practice.

As a result, he got up at six o'clock...

And looking at him like this, it seems that he is completely accustomed to getting up at six o'clock every day to practice piano.

It's as if this thing is natural.

Everyone didn't know what to say for a while, so they had to do their work honestly, as if nothing had happened.

He Shen looked at this group of people, not quite sure why they all suddenly fell into silence, scratched his head, and prepared to walk outside.

After practicing for two hours in the morning, I was really a little hungry...

Especially because I didn't practice the piano in the past few days, I increased the amount of practice today to punish myself and force myself to strengthen my foundation.

Therefore, He Shen didn't close his eyes and play the piano while sleeping like before, letting his body automatically lead him.

Today, he made himself very serious, looking at his hands very seriously, monitoring his hands, and making sure he didn't make any mistakes.

Just when He Shen was about to go out, Xu Yuqi came out of her previous embarrassment, and seeing He Shen about to go out, she immediately stretched out her hand and tried to stop He Shen.

"Teacher He, Teacher He, what are you going out for? You haven't had breakfast yet, I..."

He Shen turned his head and looked at Xu Yuqi, and nodded before she finished speaking.

"You're right, so I'm going now."

After saying that, without waiting for Xu Yuqi to continue speaking, he walked directly outside the concert hall and soon disappeared from Xu Yuqi's sight.

Xu Yuqi looked at He Shen's back and couldn't help blinking, and slowly put her hand down...

She just wanted to say that if He Shen hadn't had breakfast yet, she just had a little "extra" here, and she could share a little with He Shen.

Hmm...

Specially "extra"

He Shen, of course, didn't know that Xu Yuqi had prepared breakfast for him. He Shen walked to the snack street next to the school, bought two buns there and went back directly.

He couldn't get used to many things in the north. The only things he could accept were buns.

Those legendary... bean juice? He couldn't accept them at all.

When He Shen returned to the concert hall from the snack street, the concert hall was already crowded with people. Directors, extras, and all kinds of people were all crowded here, doing their own work.

When the director saw He Shen coming, he immediately stood up, waved his hand, and smiled.

"Teacher He, are you here?"

"Um..."

After swallowing the last bit of the bun, He Shen walked to the director, nodded at him, and said, "When does today's work start?"

"Start now, you're just in time!"

The director said to He Shen with a smile.

Since He Shen came to the crew, their crew has been very good at controlling the details, and the details of each place are perfect.

Moreover, for some reason, in many places, scenes that should have taken many times to pass often passed in one go.

Although these should be the credit of the male and female protagonists, the director still likes to give this credit to He Shen.

After all, the male and female protagonists became serious after He Shen came!

Moreover, many staff members, especially those who were a little sloppy before, became extremely serious after He Shen came.

Each of them worked hard to do their own work so that their work would not drag everyone down.

Therefore, after He Shen came, the entire crew ran as fast as a car filled with gas.

The scenes that were originally scheduled to be completed after the Spring Festival were also completed before the Spring Festival.

If they are lucky, they may be able to finish all the other scenes in the last few days.

Just work overtime for a few days, until New Year's Eve...

As for the overtime compensation...

Isn't it enough to pay three times the money?

No one can get away with money, right?

The director looked at He Shen, and he was more and more satisfied. He immediately gave the assistant director a look.

The assistant director understood the director's idea instantly, and immediately walked to He Shen's side quickly, bowed slightly to He Shen, and gestured.

"Teacher He, please follow me. Let's go to the backstage of the actors first. We need to prepare a lot of things later. I will explain them to you one by one."

After that, the assistant director walked quickly towards the backstage of the actors.

Looking at the assistant director's back, He Shen did not hesitate at all, and followed the assistant director's steps and also walked to the backstage of the actors.

The assistant director waited for He Shen to walk to the backstage, handed a script book to He Shen, and said.

"Teacher He, I want to ask you to take a look at this."

"Our scene this time is probably about the male and female protagonists meeting in the concert hall. The female protagonist's performance is messy, but she has a strange charm, interpreting a completely different kind of sadness!"

"The male protagonist is a top student in the school. He thinks that the female protagonist's playing ideas are great, but it has always been messy and doesn't care about the composer's ideas at all, so the two are in opposition to each other!"

"It's probably such a scene. Teacher He, wait a minute, you need to be an artistic director first, monitor the movements of the male and female protagonists, and then go on stage as a stand-in to help us record and record the interpretation of the male and female protagonists."

"Teacher He, is it okay?"

He Shen looked at the assistant director, thought for a while, and nodded slowly.

"Okay, what kind of interpretation do I need to make? For example, what kind of sadness do you want? Is it the sadness of joy? Or the sadness of excitement? Or something else?"

Listening to He Shen's words, the assistant director scratched his head and whispered.

"Well, I'm not sure about this, but the heroine is a weird person, so I think you should interpret a slightly weird tragedy?"

"Therefore, all of this needs you to interpret."

"Oh, by the way, remember that the heroine is a bit weird, you must remember that!"

"The hero just needs to be normal!"

After saying that, the assistant director nodded to the staff of the costume department next to him, and ran out quickly.

As an assistant director, his job is really hard.

Basically, all the dirty and tiring work in the crew is done by him.

He Shen watched the assistant director leave, without saying anything, and walked to the edge of the stage, a place where the crew could not record.

Xu Yuqi had already changed into performance clothes at this time.

A sloppy little girl, wearing a baggy shirt that didn't reflect her figure at all, sweatpants that hadn't been washed for who knows how long, and with messy hair.

When she walked to the edge of the backstage and saw He Shen, she couldn't help but blush slightly and scratched her messy hair unnaturally.

As a result, the moment his hand touched it, he was lightly patted by Sister Li who was standing aside.

"Don't move your hair that was just done!"

"oh……"

Xu Yuqi nodded honestly, looked at He Shen, bowed slightly and smiled.

"Teacher He, then I will go on stage first? Remember to pay more attention to my movements, please, Teacher He!"

He Shen nodded and said calmly: "Well, remember the movements I taught you before. You can change it a little bit to better suit your personality, but don't change it too much!"

"Okay, okay, I know, I know, who am I? I am the top actress in China, and my acting skills are very good!"

After saying that, Xu Yuqi smiled, waved to He Shen, and walked onto the stage.

Around the stage, the video recorders and lights have all been set up, just waiting for Xu Yuqi to be ready.

Soon, Xu Yuqi sat on the piano and nodded slightly to the director.

The director immediately gave everyone a gesture.

"Get ready to shoot!"

"yes!"

Everyone in the crew was immediately ready, their eyes locked tightly on Xu Yuqi in front of them.

Some people were paying attention to the male protagonist outside the scene.

The recorder immediately walked outside the concert hall, glanced at the actor outside who was waiting for the recording to start, and then pointed at the camera position.

"The one hundred and thirtieth game, the first time, let's begin!"

Click!

The male protagonist standing outside immediately entered the state of mind and walked along the corridor outside the concert hall towards the concert hall.

The camera on Xu Yuqi's side also started working.

Seeing the camera lights turn on, Xu Yuqi immediately put her hands on the piano keyboard and pressed it slowly, with an expression of great enjoyment on her face.

Bang...

An extremely strange sound sounded from the piano and soon disappeared.

Then, there was another sound.

The entire music, interpreted by Xu Yuqi, was a mess.

No one paid attention to the strange sound. They were all looking at Xu Yuqi's hands and the performance of her body.

The sound is determined by He Shen.

The performance is decided by Xu Yuqi herself!

In front of the camera, she tilted her head and moved her hands slowly on the piano.

Each sound is pressed according to the movements taught by He Shen before...

Among them, she mixed in a lot about herself and her understanding of the character itself!

A silly, silly girl who likes children, wants to be a kindergarten teacher, and doesn't care about the composer herself.

At this moment, in front of everyone, Xu Yuqi herself seemed to be integrated with the character itself.

The character is her!

She is the character!

He Shen stared closely at Xu Yuqi's movements, trying hard to memorize Xu Yuqi's playing methods, and then converted them in his brain.

With the help of Xu Yuqi's performance, I thought about how I should interpret this piece.

The male protagonist standing outside the concert hall originally had a very serious face, but when he heard Xu Yuqi's voice, he froze and walked towards the concert hall.

The camera instantly switched to the male protagonist, who opened the door of the concert hall and saw Xu Yuqi herself, playing on the piano.

The two shots merged together instantly.

The male protagonist's eyes showed a look of shock, followed by a trace of disgust, a trace of weirdness, a trace of confusion...

Many emotions appeared on the male protagonist's face one after another, and then slowly disappeared.

He walked to Xu Yuqi's side and interrupted Xu Yuqi's performance with a cold voice.

"Why do you play the piano like this?"
