The world's number one pianist

He Shen stood up, and everyone's voices disappeared. They looked at He Shen, just watching He Shen walk outside the lounge, watching him walk outside.

No one spoke, and Xiaolin Aishi just sat there, watching He Shen leave the lounge, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Suddenly, her face turned bitter, and she quickly stood up and followed He Shen out.

It wasn't that she wanted to say anything to He Shen, but she had just drunk too much water and wanted to go to the bathroom...

He Shen didn't look at Xiaolin Aishi, nor did he go into the lounge to wait.

He just stood behind the door of the concert hall, leaning against the opposite wall, took out the hand towel that had been placed in his clothes before, and wiped his hands slightly.

No, maybe it's not called wiping, but rubbing his hands.

The extremely soft touch on the hand towel brushed over his hands, making his hands extremely smooth.

And He Shen's hands, before starting, kept stretching.

Keep your hands in an active state at all times.

Countless cameras around him immediately tracked towards He Shen. Seeing so many cameras around him, He Shen did not react at all. He just moved his fingers.

The music on the stage gradually disappeared. The previous contestant had finished playing.

He Shen exerted a little force on his back, stood up from the wall, and walked to the back door of the concert hall.

Applause rang out, and the previous contestant came down from the stage a little lost.

He felt that his performance was not good.

When he stepped down, he saw that the next contestant was actually He Shen, and despair flashed across his face.

But soon, he restrained the despair in his heart, smiled and nodded slightly to He Shen, and said with a smile.

"Come on!"

After that, he left the concert hall without looking back.

On the stage, the display screens on both sides immediately connected to He Shen who was standing backstage.

The piano used by the previous contestant was also sent down by the staff through the elevator on the stage at that time.

Then, the Fazioli selected by He Shen was sent up.

Everyone did not pay attention to the piano being raised and lowered, but focused their eyes on He Shen in front of them, with a hint of expectation in their eyes.

He Shen, the contestant who won the first place in the first round of the Chopin International Piano Competition in the last round!

This contestant came to this place to participate in the first round of the competition, so don't expect too much!

Everyone fixed their eyes on He Shen and nodded silently.

"Sure enough, there is a basis for this contestant to win the first place. Look at his temperament, it's really amazing!"

"Yes, I haven't seen such a calm temperament from other people!"

"Especially quiet, especially indifferent, it feels like the feeling of winning, it really deserves to be the first place in the first round of the Chopin International Piano Competition!"

"..."

Everyone looked at He Shen and couldn't help but discuss in a low voice. Among them, sitting at the farthest corner, there were two people He Shen was particularly familiar with.

Ji Mengting and Zhao Zitong

Zhao Zitong stretched her slender neck and looked at the display screen in the distance, her eyes full of pain.

"Why, why! Why are tickets so hard to buy today! Obviously no one knows which contestant will appear today, but why is it so hard to buy tickets even today? I can only grab the last seat?"

Zhao Zitong hammered her thigh in great pain, looking at the blurry display screen in front of her, her eyes became more desperate.

"Look at this, we are listening to music in the back, but this time, look, it's Teacher He!!! It's Teacher He!!! We are sitting so far away that we can't even see Teacher He's face!!!"

"Even on that big display screen, we can't see Teacher He's face!!!"

"Why, why? Why am I sitting at the back, wuwuwu..."

Zhao Zitong covered her face and sobbed, Ji Mengting pinched the mobile phone in her hand and kept fiddling with it. After fiddling for a long time, she couldn't help but give up.

"No way, there is no internet here. I went to the official app of the Chopin International Piano Competition to take a look, but there was no internet at all. There were too many people here, and the internet abroad was too bad, so it was crowded..."

"If there was internet, we could watch the live broadcast online directly, and we wouldn't have to stretch our necks to watch the big display screen..."

"..."

Zhao Zitong raised her head and looked at Ji Mengting, and saw that her phone showed a buffer of 00kb/s, and her expression was a little weird.

"Don't you think that watching the live broadcast on the spot seems a little... weird?"

"You say it's weird now, but who was the one who couldn't get the tickets before! You told me yourself that there were not many people watching the first, second, and even third rounds of the Chopin International Piano Competition, and you had already bought the tickets for the Chopin International Piano Competition finals in advance, so you don't need to buy the tickets for the previous ones! Who said this?" Ji Mengting was so angry when she said this that she reached out and knocked Zhao Zitong on the head.

Zhao Zitong rubbed her head innocently and whispered, "But I didn't know that Teacher He was going to perform today. If I knew that Teacher He was the fifth to perform today, I would have bought the ticket for the first row!"

"Then you knew it before?"

"Then you agreed that I should tell Mr. He about your coming?"

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other, and then covered their faces at the same time.

They were really desperate now.

The big screen in front showed He Shen's preparations in the backstage, but the two of them could not see anything at all.

Really, it was too far away, so far that they could not see it clearly.

For a moment, the two really hated themselves for not buying a ticket in the front.

If they could travel back a few hours ago, they knew that He Shen would perform today, and they must buy the tickets in the front, even if it was at a premium.

Unfortunately...

There is no if.

The two could only helplessly look at He Shen on the screen and watch him walk to the backstage of the concert hall.

At this moment, Fazioli on the stage had been placed in front of everyone.

At this time, the host also walked onto the stage, picked up the form in his hand, and spoke to everyone.

"Chopin International Piano Competition, second round, first day, fifth contestant."

"He is from China, Jiangzhou, He Shen!"

"The piece he played is Chopin's Piano Ballade No. 3 in A flat major, 47."

"Chopin's Waltz in F major, 34 3."

"Chopin's Mazurka Rondo in F major 5."

"Chopin's Brilliant Grand Polonaise, Calm Andante and Brilliant Grand Polonaise in E flat major, 22."

Boom!

The applause rang out, and everyone focused their eyes on the fenced-off steps at the entrance of the stage.

He Shen tidied his clothes a little, folded the hand towel, put it in his pocket, slowly exhaled, and walked towards the stage.

When it was the second round, there were already some cameras on the stage.

A photographer, holding a camera, stood in front of him and kept filming him, from the time he entered the venue to the time he entered the stage.

Everyone focused their eyes on He Shen's body, and the applause became louder.

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting no longer bothered to care about the camera. They all clapped their hands very hard, looking at He Shen standing on the stage, their eyes full of expectation.

Especially when they saw He Shen bowing to everyone, they were so excited that they almost jumped up.

And Ji Mengting, after seeing He Shen take out a lollipop and a snow-white hand towel from his pocket after sitting down, her whole face turned red.

The hand towel in He Shen's hand was given to He Shen by her, Zhang Wei and Li Hua, the two unlucky children.

She had never thought that He Shen would use it in the second round after using it in the first round of the preliminaries!

Especially this hand towel, it was obviously washed and rinsed, making the whole hand towel extremely clean.

Obviously, its owner, that is, his teacher, He Shen, took great care of this hand towel.

Looking at this hand towel, Ji Mengting's applause became louder.

Unfortunately, they were sitting too far away, and He Shen didn't notice them at all.

Even if they sat next to He Shen, He Shen would probably not notice them.

The moment He Shen walked onto the stage, He Shen had completely entered the state of playing.

And when He Shen opened the lollipop on the side and put it into his mouth.

At this moment, he completely entered the calmest state of playing.

The sweetness in his mouth made his brain more clear.

In the music, all the harmonies, all the forms, and the collision between all the colors also appeared quickly in He Shen's brain.

Music flows in He Shen's heart.

He is trying to control his own music.

And his first piece is Chopin's A flat major, Piano Ballade No. 3.

This is a piece he has played countless times.

The order between these pieces was chosen by Chen Sa for him before.

Show his strength as much as possible at the beginning and end of the music.

That is, in the first piece and the fourth piece, put his most powerful piece to continue to stimulate the desire of other contestants to explode.

However, not all contestants can have such a long-lasting outburst.

After all, an outburst is still an outburst, not a normal state.

Not many contestants can guarantee that their outbursts can be outburst every time.

Therefore, He Shen, who already has the Diaoyutai, can let those people outburst again.

And this time, when many people are thinking about outbursts, it is entirely possible that they will fail to outburst and play works that are not as good as before.

As long as any one person makes a mistake, those people will lose the opportunity to compete in the finals of the competition.

And He Shen will also lose an opponent in this way with great ease.

This is not a conspiracy, this is an open conspiracy.

Then all the audience gave the open conspiracy to others who have the right to compete in the finals.

He Shen's pupils shrank slightly, and he gradually mastered the feeling required for the music he wanted to play in the music in his brain.

The contrast between calmness and conflict.

The conflict between tenderness and pain.

The contradiction between peace and war.

Among all these nouns full of contrast, that balance, how to balance two emotions, and make the two emotions blend incomparably.

Boom...

All the balls of thread gradually turned into a long line!

The music suddenly took shape in He Shen's mind!

He Shen felt that he had found it!

And at the moment of finding it, all the basic information about Chopin's Third Piano Ballade in He Shen's brain instantly appeared at He Shen's fingertips.

A flat major, four flats, B flat, A flat, E flat, D flat.

6/8 beat, allegro.

A singing melody with a fantasy nature!

He Shen's hand immediately pressed slowly.

The music immediately popped out.

Buzz...

The feeling of reluctance that is unique to A flat major was instantly conveyed from the piano.

And the moment the music came out, everyone was affected by the sound of He Shen's piano.

All of them were pulled into the fantasy world he created by He Shen's piano.

Including some of the judges.

Some judges were obviously not prepared at all. They knew He Shen was very strong, but they didn't expect that He Shen would still be so strong in the second round?

The main reason why they didn't believe He Shen was that He Shen chose a completely different piece from the preliminaries in the first round.

So if you count the works He Shen is playing now, He Shen has at least 12 works!

If you also count the later ones, that is, the next two rounds, He Shen needs to prepare at least more than 20 works.

Therefore, some judges guessed that He Shen might plan to adopt a relegation strategy in the second round.

Probably with the level of the top five, get the results of the second round.

In this way, he can play more in the third round, a brand new round.

But they didn't expect that He Shen would still come up with such a powerful work in the second round, and it was still a king bomb.

Master-level, Chopin's Third Piano Ballade!

A work full of contrasts and contrasts throughout the whole process.

Under He Shen's fingers, these contrasts became extremely subtle.

It was the kind that if it was a little more, it would feel artificial, and if it was a little less, it would feel insufficient.

For a moment, everyone in the concert hall or watching the video was shocked.

Especially those who didn't officially start watching the live broadcast of the Chopin International Piano Competition until the second round of the competition.

When they heard He Shen's performance, they were completely shocked.

Their brains couldn't even work.

This performance... was actually played by a Chinese?

Such a pure Western long poem-like performance was actually played by a Chinese from the ancient East?
