The world's number one pianist

Xu Fei, a student at the Technical University of Berlin.

An ordinary, non-classical music lover.

He doesn't like classical music very much.

Normally, he likes some popular works, such as rap.

And ghost animals!

Occasionally, he listens to some classical music works.

But he has to admit that he doesn't listen to much.

Or it can be said...

Very little!

He doesn't understand classical music works and thinks that classical music works are very boring.

For more than ten minutes, there is only one instrument playing there. What's fun?

Even those symphonies have many instruments, but those works are played for thirty to forty minutes, or an hour.

Isn't this too boring?

Listening to two large symphonies is enough to watch a movie by yourself!

Even if you don't watch movies, go to watch some short videos on P station, or watch long videos, or play games.

Which one is not better than listening to classical music like a fool in this place?

I can listen, but I don't like to listen.

This is his only opinion on classical music.

When he heard others recommend classical music to him, his first reaction was to refuse.

"No, no, I'm a rough man, and wild boars can't eat fine bran! You recommend classical music to me, but you might as well recommend some more powerful pop music to me!"

Although many people in Germany like to listen to classical music, the atmosphere of classical music in the whole place is still quite strong.

But he really couldn't calm down and appreciate this stuff.

He stayed in Europe for so long, but he didn't completely fall in love with classical music.

Until...

Wow!

The cold wind swept the blanket!

In December, the whole of Europe entered a cold night.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was completely dark, and the whole person walking on the street could feel a chill that made people feel cold.

All the people on the road were wearing black, gray and other cold-toned clothes.

Only a few children would be dressed in bright red clothes by their parents.

After Xu Fei said goodbye to the teachers and professors in the school in a friendly manner, he turned and walked towards the exit of the Technical University of Berlin.

At this moment, it was completely dark.

The street lights were on, and there were not many cars on the road.

Xu Fei glanced at his watch, and after struggling for a while, he finally gave up the idea of ​​going home to cook, and turned to walk towards the road behind the Berlin University of Technology.

"Forget it, it's so cold, let's go to Tulong for dinner today..."

Xu Fei wrapped himself in his black cotton jacket, and walked quickly to about two hundred meters behind the Berlin University of Technology.

In that corner, there is a small Chinese restaurant.

A Chinese restaurant known as the canteen of the Berlin University of Technology.

He stood at the door and waited for a while, then walked into the house honestly and stopped moving.

It's not because there is no place to sit, but because the boss of this place is particularly irritable.

Basically, if you don't do what she says, she will scold you.

And why does this boss like to scold people so much, and Xu Fei still wants to come to this place to eat?

The reason is simple...

Cheap!

The cheapest Chinese restaurant in Berlin!

Compared with Chinese restaurants in other places that cost more than ten euros per dish, this Chinese restaurant called Tulong only costs a few dollars.

Five or six yuan, six or seven yuan, is a dish.

The price is extremely cheap.

Although the taste is not particularly good, it also has the taste of home.

Therefore, Xu Fei is willing to stand there and be scolded by the boss a few more times.

Fortunately, after waiting for a while, the boss called Xu Fei to sit down. He didn't even bring the menu, but just took a note and walked over to Xu Fei and asked.

"Still the same?"

"Yes, the same! Thank you!"

"Okay!"

The boss wrote twice quickly and left. After serving him a pot of tea, he was busy greeting other customers.

Xu Fei also took this time to open P station to see if there was any new news to watch.

After all, this restaurant takes a long time to serve dishes, and he is too lazy to continue to study at this time. It is better to browse P station and watch videos.

"Well, the young lady dancing? She looks average, I don't like it..."

"Wuhu! Honeysuckle pattern, Cosplay with belly button! This is great!"

"Ghostly rap? Thor vs Rock King? Well... not bad, although the wind god appeared at the end..."

"..."

He was bored and scrolling through P station, and suddenly saw a strange video.

According to common sense, a video that should not appear in his video recommendations.

A piano video! It's a video of a man playing the piano!

The name is...

"Demon King"

One hundred thousand hits, ten thousand likes, 952 comments!

Xu Fei frowned and looked at the video, full of doubts.

You know, he only followed videos of beautiful girls playing the piano on his P station account, after all, this thing is the highlight.

A man playing the piano?

What's so good about that?

Just when he was about to swipe away, his hand suddenly paused.

Wait!

He seemed to have followed a man playing the piano on P station before!

It seems to be... What's his name?

This person seems to be the kind of person who brings glory to the country and won an award in an international competition.

It is said that he is very good. Many people in China think that he can be compared with Lang Liangyue.

Become the top pianist!

Hmm...

It seems so?

Xu Fei thought about it and finally clicked on the video, but did not play it.

Unlimited data packages in Europe are very expensive, nearly 80 euros a month!

He was reluctant to buy that package, and he used a 10G data package.

Therefore, outside, except for those young ladies and short ghost videos, he would open them.

For other videos, he needs to hesitate.

Xu Fei glanced at the producer of the video and nodded silently.

Sure enough, this person is He Shen.

The name of the account he followed has been changed to He Shen of Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, not He Shen of Jiang Normal University.

The title of the video posted above has only two words.

Demon King!

Looking at the preview of He Shen playing the piano, this should be a work played by He Shen, named Demon King?

Xu Fei touched his chin and thought about it. After thinking about it with his not-so-rich knowledge of classical music, he nodded slowly.

This should be an art song by Schubert.

Maybe it was adapted by He Shen or some other composer into a piano piece?

Xu Fei hesitated for a moment, but still did not open it. Instead, he focused his attention on the comment area.

Looking at the messages in the comment area, he was stunned.

The comment area is rapidly increasing!

"Why do I always feel that the fingers of these pianists are not right? Do they have more fingers than us?"

"As we all know, pianists need 14 fingers to be considered entry-level!"

"Fuck? He Shen actually looks so muscular? What the hell is this? Isn't he a pianist?"

"As a pianist, every time I go to take a bath, people think I'm a weightlifter, but what they don't know is that I'm just a pianist!"

"Did you see that when He Shen played the piano, the lines of his muscles under his clothes were really in love!"

"Is this an artist? This is a bit too artistic, right? It feels like... Almost catching up with some weightlifters!"

"He Shen should actually be considered a genuine artist, right? His understanding of music can be considered very profound, and a pianist is actually also an athlete. This kind of music interpretation activity requires strength!"

"Wow, I just found out that He Shen is so talented. I always thought He Shen was as weak as those traffic stars..."

"He looks thin when he is dressed and strong when he is undressed. Awesome! I also want He Shen's figure!"

"I am convinced. I am really convinced when I see He Shen. If you pay attention to He Shen's videos a few years ago, that is, the videos of He Shen at the Golden Melody Awards, You will know the difference now!"

"Back then, I still remember He Shen playing the piano until he was exhausted on the stage. I didn't expect that after so many years, his muscles have been trained a little bit..."

"Speaking of the Golden Melody Award at that time, I still remember one person, Yue Li from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music."

"You mean that muscle man, Hanma Yujiro?"

"Fuck, if you compare like this, I feel that He Shen may need to practice more. Look at Yue Li from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music. He is a muscle maniac!"

"Muscles like He Shen are beautiful, and the overall lines are so beautiful. That Yujiro, bah, muscle man Yue Li, how ugly he looks!"

"Yue Li: Meow meow meow? ? ? "

"Why are you all paying attention to He Shen's muscles? Why don't any of you pay attention to He Shen's interpretation of music? Don't you think He Shen's interpretation of music is amazing?"

"That's right, you pay attention to He Shen's interpretation of music, why are you all paying attention to He Shen's figure? Although He Shen is indeed very attractive, hiss hiss~"

"Before the adaptation: Demon King, after the adaptation, Devil!"

"Such a difficult piece is really played for people? Are you kidding?"

"..."

Countless comments are mixed together, a lot of people are discussing He Shen's figure, and a small number of people are discussing He Shen's interpretation of music.

The remaining few people are discussing the piece played by He Shen.

This piece is very suitable for the public, even ordinary people can understand it, and see how difficult this piece is.

Xu Fei was stunned when he saw so many comments. He couldn't help scratching his head, feeling so strange.

Do so many people like to watch and listen to this kind of classical music?

Xu Fei glanced around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he quietly took out the headphones in his hand and put them on his ears.

He wanted to see how strong the figure and musicality that were praised by so many people were.

Data?

Only a dozen MB, not particularly much!

Xu Fei put on the headphones and clicked on the play.

The picture was recorded from the side. He Shen was sitting on the piano, his fingers raised, and then fell.

The moment he fell, Xu Fei was stunned.

The camera...

It couldn't record clearly!

Fast hands...

Gu Yu

Almost a phantom!

Exceeding the frame rate of the camera recording!

The muscle lines on his arms suddenly bulged as He Shen played.

The blue veins were clearly visible.

The sleeves on He Shen's arms were also immediately enlarged, showing the overall lines of his arms.

At this moment, Xu Fei suddenly realized what these people meant when they said they had an awesome figure.

He Shen's arms are like sculptures, round and full of power!

This powerful sense of power, coupled with the shadow of the hand that the camera cannot completely capture.

Just like that, Xu Fei was shocked!

Not only that...

And music!

Xu Fei didn't know much about classical music. He had only heard the art song version of this piece.

When he heard this piece of music now, especially when He Shen interpreted it, he had goosebumps all over his body!

It’s so scary, so shocking!

It was so shocking that I didn’t even know what to say.

It was a tremor from head to tail bone.

It was like a flash of electricity.

powerful! Too strong!

Even people like Xu Fei who don't understand classical music can tell that He Shen is strong in music interpretation.

and……

Xu Fei looked at the subtitles under the music.

Subtitles for this art song.

This is a German work, and he can understand all the subtitles on it, and he will not be confused.

He could feel the emotions above very clearly.

Especially the emotions in the music!

He had never felt the emotions in the music so clearly as he did today.

Rapid hooves.

Anxious father.

Children in pain.

Weird devil!

Ruthless narration.

Everything is extremely terrifying and full of strong emotions.

The music is booming.

Wreaking havoc in his brain!

Emotions almost overwhelmed his reason.

He has never felt that classical music sounds as good as he does today.

This piece of work gave him a better feeling than some ordinary pop works...

No!

It is more emotionally arousing than most popular works.

There are obviously no lyrics...

But there seems to be lyrics everywhere...

He could feel very clearly that the devil was running and plundering everything.

The father held the child in his arms, hoping that he would not die, and wanted to take his child back from the devil.

The child moaned in his father's arms, breathless and heart-wrenching.

There the devil seduces the child and wants to steal his soul.

Contradictions are intertwining!

It makes people feel the extremely painful emotion in their hearts.

"Your fish-flavored shredded pork!"

The boss came over with a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork and a large bowl of rice, threw it on his table, turned and left.

The food has arrived.

But Xu Fei had no intention of eating at all.

He looked at the video in his hand and was extremely excited.

The devil, the devil is getting closer!

The child's breath is getting weaker and weaker!

The sound of horse hooves became more and more rapid.

The child's father is also becoming more and more anxious.

Nothing can be undone.

"Don't, don't, don't..."

Xu Fei's hands were shaking more and more, and his eyes were tightly locked on the screen in front of him.

He didn't know the plot of this piece, and he had never heard of it.

Therefore, he was extremely scared.

Fear that the child will eventually die.

He Shen's fingers moved rapidly on the piano keyboard, and the afterimage disappeared before he could remember it, and was replaced by a new afterimage.

The whole person seemed to be flying on the piano keyboard.

The mood is getting more and more anxious.

The scene is getting more and more tense.

finally……

The final chapter has arrived...

The music suddenly fell silent.

Xu Fei's expression suddenly changed.

He felt something was wrong!

Something's wrong with the music!

Music, it seems...

Something seems to be wrong!

child……

Looks like he's going to die?

"No way, is this a tragedy? The devil? The devil refers to..."

Before he even thought about ending it, the music told him the truth.

The music ushered in a wave of slow silence.

He Shen raised his hand from the piano.

The child died slowly in his father's arms, losing his breath.

He was taken away by the devil.

Unable to continue to survive in the human world.

The music ends with a very short but extremely powerful ending, ending the whole story.

It was like a knife in his heart.

"Fuck! How deep is this!"

The moment Xu Fei watched the child die, he immediately couldn't control his emotions and slammed his table with an extremely angry look.

"Why do you have to shoot the child to death? What good will it do to you to kill the child? Huh?"

"Are you banging the table to seek death? Are you calling for ghosts? If you don't want to eat, get out! Others want to eat!"

The moment Xu Fei's voice sounded, the boss's curse came.

Xu Fei's face suddenly turned aside, and he suddenly realized the recklessness of his behavior just now.

I actually lost control of my emotions in the restaurant.

Xu Fei quickly smiled at the boss, apologized a few times, sat down honestly, and took the food in his mouth.

The best thing that this Tulong restaurant makes is fish-flavored shredded pork. All their dishes, as long as they are braised in soy sauce, are all fish-flavored.

For example, Mapo Tofu!

Therefore, Tulong’s fish-flavored shredded pork or fish-flavored eggplant are considered their best dishes!

Xu Fei quickly picked up the food in his mouth, not caring that the food was already a little cold.

His main thought now was to be angry with He Shen.

Why did he have to shoot that kid to death?

He was picking up the food while typing on the keyboard with his other hand. Just when he was about to post a barrage, he suddenly found a message updated in the comment area.

A top message from an Up master.

"He Shen will start his European tour at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall on December 12. The performance works are shown in the picture below. Everyone is welcome to come and watch!"

"Ticket purchase link: XXXXXX"

"List of tracks: XXXXXX"

"..."

European tour?

Berlin Philharmonic Hall?

He is now in the Charlottenburg district, while the Berlin Philharmonic is located in the Tiergarten, or the Animal Garden (Tiergarten) district.

The two are not particularly far from each other.

It's probably only two or three subway stops away!

It takes about half an hour to walk there!

So...

Xu Fei's eyes suddenly tightened.

He thought of the demon king just now, and then thought of his current location, and he couldn't help but make a decision in his heart.

He shoveled the last bite of rice into his mouth, quickly walked to the front desk to pay the bill, apologized to the boss again, and left quickly.

Walked towards home.

He wanted to grab a ticket!

He wanted to listen to He Shen's concert!

He wanted to...

see where the charm of these classical music that everyone likes is!

At this moment, he was full of curiosity about classical music!

The whole of China, no, not China.

Because He Shen did not only release this news on the P station in China.

He Shen's agency, Deutsche Grammophon, first publicized the poster and promoted it to the outside world.

The domestic branch, Jiang Yunling, also carried out a small-scale promotion.

Therefore, countless classical music lovers around the world were shocked when they saw this news.

Then, it was excitement!

He Shen is finally going to hold a concert worldwide!

The first solo concert of the world's top pianist, the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition!

Solo concert tour!

A solo concert tour in Europe that challenges the old classical music powerhouse!

So far...

The world is shocked!
