This star doesn’t work overtime

Li Guang, Zhao Donghu, and Gu Jun all looked at Hu Xiaoshan with wide eyes.

It was the first time they saw Hu Xiaoshan admire someone so highly in classical music...

He has never had such a violent emotional reaction among any of the top talents from major music schools in the world.

Li Guang quickly asked: "Lao Hu, what do you mean? You mean, Wang Cheng's performance is very good?"

Hu Xiaoshan's eyes were still fixed on Wang Cheng, and his ears almost stood up. He didn't want to miss any syllables. He nodded and said: "It's not just that simple. To be honest, I haven't concentrated on studying music and art for a long time. Maybe They are not qualified to evaluate Wang Cheng’s performance now.”

"I can only confirm that I have never heard the piece of music he played. Moreover, his piano playing level is at least one level higher than that of Sun Haibo and Phipps just now. I can't quantify how much more. , but it is definitely far more than that. It is not on the same level. In the field of piano in the world, it may be one of the best."

"I really can't imagine how Wang Cheng did it. It's really unbelievable. No one would believe it if I told him."

At this time, Li Guang, Zhao Donghu, and Gu Jun all understood, and then looked at Wang Cheng with even more confusion and disbelief.

Co-authored…

They brought back a world-class piano master?

What was being played was a piece that had never appeared in the world before, that is, maybe it was a piece composed by Wang Cheng himself?

When they thought of all Wang Cheng's worries and some private arrangements before them, they were speechless and felt a little ashamed in their hearts.

It's like he is a clown.

Zhao Donghu murmured in a low voice: "How is it possible? He is only nineteen years old? He has never studied music before?"

Li Guang took a long breath, as if he wanted to release all the pressure and negative emotions accumulated in his heart. He shook his head and said: "If you want to understand Wang Cheng, then you have to think too much. Which of the popular songs he released has the lyrics and music? Aren't Liu Shengjie and his arrangers crushing the current pop music circle? Liu Shengjie and the others are so suppressed that they can't hold their heads up. His "Inscription on the Humble Room" and "Xia Ke Xing" are like two knives hanging over the heads of the entire Chinese literary world, making the entire Chinese literary world unable to raise their heads. No one in the literary world dares to speak.”

"So, it's understandable that he has such great piano skills..."

In fact, Li Guang added in his mind - you can understand it!

Anyway, he himself couldn't understand or figure it out.

However, he doesn't need to figure it out, he just needs to know how to make good use of this to bring enough benefits to himself.

At this time, Hu Xiaoshan had closed his eyes and began to listen to Wang Cheng's music attentively. At the same time, he whispered: "Stop talking, just close your eyes and listen. Not everyone has the opportunity to play piano at this level." It is definitely a pleasure to listen to it, it is really beautiful. This piece of music is a little warm, a little sad, and a little longing, just like first love..."

Zhao Donghu, Gu Jun, and Li Guang all closed their eyes and gave it a try after hearing what Hu Xiaoshan said was mysterious.

moment.

The three people's bodies trembled slightly at the same time, and their facial muscles twitched slightly. Then they opened their eyes at the same time and looked at each other, all full of shock and amazement.

Gu Jun said in disbelief: "The imagery of this music is so strong! I really seem to have seen the feeling I had when I first fell in love."

Hu Xiaoshan still closed his eyes and said: "This is the real master of music art. He can use music to perfectly mobilize your inner emotions and paint a picture for you to let you know what he wants to express! Now all There are no musicians in the world who can play at this level with more than one hand.”

"However, I think there may be fewer, or even no, people who can do what Wang Cheng does!"

After Hu Xiaoshan closed his eyes and listened, he truly felt how wonderful Wang Cheng's piano performance was at this time, and gave him a higher evaluation again.

Zhao Donghu and Gu Jun both closed their eyes again and listened carefully to this beautiful music.

Li Guang looked at the judges and found that they were still standing there, but like Hu Xiaoshan, they closed their eyes and listened to Wang Cheng's piano performance. There were many older musicians in the audience. The professors also closed their eyes and listened, feeling the music with their hearts, such as Tian Wen, Xu Chaohua and others.

Several players in the background were also listening carefully to Wang Cheng's performance, but they did not close their eyes to feel it. Instead, they all looked at Wang Cheng with wide eyes.

Li Guang also looked over and saw that Wang Cheng was also playing with his eyes closed, his hands and fingers beating on the piano keys like ten elves. Every move looked so pleasing to the eye, full of artistic conception, and his whole person exuded It has an atmosphere that is very consistent with the music itself, as if it itself is part of the music.

call……

Li Guang took a deep breath again.

he knows……

Wang Cheng is really awesome at piano playing.

Exactly how awesome it is, he doesn't know.

At this time, he slowly closed his eyes and enjoyed the music at this moment.

Wang Cheng himself didn't think too much, he just played the song "To Alice" in his memory exactly according to his own ideas.

In his previous life, he played a pianist. For this reason, he spent a lot of time attending piano lessons at the Central Academy of Music. Therefore, his technical level in piano performance is definitely not low. In his previous life, he could reach the level of a professional pianist. Now it has been strengthened again, and the performance has feelings and artistic conceptions that he had never dreamed of before.

but……

He didn't bother to think about where this change came from.

Because it doesn't affect his health and longevity.

"Female Elise" is a very simple piano piece that can even be said to be a must-learn for beginners, but every top pianist in the world has played it many times in public recitals.

It can be said that this piano piece is the most famous and listened to by most people in the world where Wang Cheng lived in his previous life.

It is pleasant to listen to, the artistic conception is touching, the structure is complete and exquisite, simple and easy to learn, and it can be said that it has reached the realm of simplicity in music art.

Therefore, every top pianist will deliberately play this piece to prove his level and realm.

When Wang Cheng played this piece of music at this time, he didn't have so many thoughts. It was purely because this piece of music was simple. It was the piano piece he was most familiar with and most comfortable with. It didn't last long, and it was just a piano piece. It takes more than three minutes to finish the performance, which saves time.

The whole place became extremely quiet!

No one spoke...

Even most people close their eyes and listen to the music attentively.

Wen Yixiao, An Keru, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, Lin Mi, Yu Hong, Chen Yuqi, etc. all had faces full of enjoyment, but they all had their eyes open because they all wanted to look at Wang Cheng's expression. The figure full of artistic conception and the face full of music and art, I don’t want to miss a second.

The artistic conception of the piece played by Wang Cheng was almost in perfect harmony with their mood at this time, with both joy and a touch of sadness growing in contradiction.

It was as if Wang Cheng's piece of music was composed individually for each of them.

but……

More than three minutes passed slowly.

Wang Cheng's hands also pressed the last few buttons, and then their hands slowly fell down, dissipating with the music.

There was no sound in the entire hall.

At this time, Wang Cheng opened his eyes, and the strong artist's temperament slowly disappeared, replaced by the lazy aura, and said lightly to the microphone next to him: "Thank you!"

Then, Wang Cheng stood up, turned around, and walked backstage to leave.

at this time.

Only then did everyone in the room wake up.

Thunderous applause came in an instant.

Lu Jiaqi, Zhang Haijie, Professor Haixi and other judges were still standing there, applauding vigorously. There was a trace of suppressed excitement on everyone's face, and there were many doubts in their eyes, and they wanted to say something impatiently. But thinking of Director Zhao Donghu's instructions to them just now, and the figure of Wang Cheng immediately stepping down from the stage, the judges all looked helpless, but the curiosity and doubts in their hearts accumulated.

The thousands of spectators in the audience applauded even more enthusiastically.

Chen Yuqi and Yu Hong stood beside Tian Wen and applauded vigorously.

Chen Yuqi's pretty face flushed with excitement, and she asked Tian Wen beside her: "Mom, Wang Cheng's piano performance is really beautiful. This is the best piano performance I have ever heard. Among those from the Yangyin countries, Even top pianists don’t give me this feeling! By the way, what is this piece of music? Why haven’t I heard it?”

Yu Hongye said with a slightly trembling voice: "Wang Cheng's accomplishments on the piano are definitely beyond all of our imaginations. Aunt Tian, ​​if I guess correctly, this piece of music by Wang Cheng may have been composed by himself." A new song?"

A new piano piece of your own composition?

Chen Yuqi and several people around him widened their eyes slightly after hearing this.

However, Tian Wen nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, this piece should be a new piano piece composed by himself. Because I have no influence at all. As long as I have heard piano music in the world, I will know it." I have an impression, even if I can’t name it, I will feel familiar after hearing it.”

"I have never heard of this piece by Wang Cheng. However, with the simplicity, beauty, and complete and exquisite structure of this piece, it is absolutely impossible for it to remain unknown if it had been released."

"So, the only possibility is that this piece was composed by Wang Cheng himself and has not been released to the public. This is the first public performance!"

Chen Yuqi's face was filled with admiration. She looked at Wang Cheng's back as he walked backstage and said with admiration: "Why is he so powerful? He has mastered two master-level calligraphy, and can also write masterpieces such as The Humble House Inscription and The Journey of the Knight. He is still If you have master-level piano skills and can compose piano music, is this still a human being?"

Chen Yuqi comes from a well-known family. Her mother Tian Wen is a guzheng master at Yangyin, her father is a professor and leader of Beijing University, and her grandfather is also an older generation member of the Beijing cultural circle. She has been exposed to many top talents in the circle since she was a child, and has also seen There are some top foreign talents, but compared with Wang Cheng, these top talents all seem mediocre...

However, Wang Cheng is only nineteen years old!

Chen Yuqi only felt that she was nothing in front of Wang Cheng.

Yu Hong also felt a little ashamed and whispered: "This is the real genius."

Tian Wen also praised: "Before, I wanted to invite him to come to Yangyin for exchange and study, and I also wanted to give him some advice on classical music. Now it seems that he can give me some advice. In the whole world, there is no one who can give him some advice on classical music." , may not even exist! It’s just that he was too indifferent. Professor Lu and the other judges wanted to chat with Wang Cheng and learn about Wang Cheng’s piano music, but Wang Cheng left without giving them a chance. …”

"Perhaps this is genius. Only when he lives in his own world can he understand music so thoroughly."

After hearing this, Chen Yuqi and Yu Hong nodded in agreement, looking at Wang Cheng's back with stars of admiration shining in their eyes.

Maybe this is genius.

Don't talk to mortals!

Even though the mortals he faced were already top geniuses in the eyes of others.

Xu Chaohua also whispered to Yan Yu: "I should have invited Wang Cheng to our school at all costs. If Wang Cheng could take up a post in our college, our college might be upgraded to a higher level. With this piano playing ability, , is enough to stand at the pinnacle of world classical music."

Yan Yu's eyes also shone with admiration. The previous disappointment of not being able to hear Wang Cheng play the General's Order in person had disappeared without a trace. Looking back, Phipps and Sun Haibo, whom she had recognized so much just now, were now with Wang Cheng. In front of Cheng, she seemed so insignificant that she couldn't even remember what Phipps and Sun Haibo were playing. Her mind was filled with the image of Wang Cheng playing the piano just now, and her mind was filled with the music like a trickling stream. .

"This is the true art of music!"

Yan Yu murmured softly.

Not far away, father and daughter Lin Dongqing and Lin Mi were also applauding vigorously.

Lin Mi also gave the same evaluation: "This is the most beautiful piano performance I have ever heard. It is a spiritual journey. I have never heard of this piece. It may be original by Wang Cheng himself. It is so amazing." "

Lin Dongqing also said excitedly: "Well, it's really amazing. I feel now that you may not be worthy of me..."

Forehead……?

Lin Mi suddenly woke up, looked at his father and said with an evil look, "Dad, what did you say?"

Lin Dongqing shook his head hastily: "Nothing!"

Many spectators in the surrounding circles were talking excitedly.

"This piano performance is much better than the talented contestants in the previous two competitions."

"Stop talking, after listening to Wang Cheng's performance, I have forgotten those two players."

"Wang Cheng is so good at playing the piano, so handsome, and so talented. God is really too partial to Wang Cheng, and has he given all the good things in the world to him?"

"Hey, jealousy changes me beyond recognition!"

"Think of something good. The ratings of this show may not be low, and we can all get a wave of popularity. Let's think about how to hype up the popularity."

…

Wang Cheng, who walked backstage, did not pay attention to the thunderous applause behind him. He came backstage calmly and saw the adoring and surprised eyes of Li Guang, Zhao Donghu, Gu Jun, Hu Xiaoshan and other program team leaders. He just lightly He nodded lightly, then walked to his seat to sit down and continue reading.

However, several players came to Wang Cheng.

Sun Haibo and Phipps, who just finished the game, were the most excited and a little bit ashamed.

Because they knew that the performance they just performed was nothing compared to Wang Cheng's piano performance.

All of a sudden, their game was rendered as if they were novices pecking each other, and it was meaningless.

Sun Haibo no longer had the joy of winning and advancing, and Phipps no longer had the frustration of being eliminated.

After all, if such an awesome Wang Cheng didn't participate in their game, what's the point of their winning or losing?

Sun Haibo immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Wang Cheng excitedly and said: "Wang Cheng, hello! I am Sun Haibo, a student of the Piano Department of Central Academy of Music. It's nice to meet you. Your performance just now was really great."

Phipps also stepped forward and said in English: "Hello, I'm Phipps, your piano playing is really great."

The other people, Yan Qing, Zheng Yun, and Eva, all wanted to introduce themselves to Wang Cheng.

However, Wang Cheng ignored them and walked directly past them. As if he didn't see them, he went back to his seat and sat down, picked up his book and started reading!

The smiles on the faces of Sun Haibo, Phipps and others disappeared.

They have been the pride of heaven since they were young, and they will be treated politely by everyone they meet. How have they ever been ignored like this?

certainly……

When Wang Cheng entered the venue just now, they had seen Wang Cheng's indifference, seeming to completely ignore everyone, but they were still proud and believed that if Wang Cheng knew who they were and their achievements, he would never ignore them.

But at this time, they were sure that Wang Cheng had really ignored them.

There was an awkward silence among several people.

Then Sun Haibo took a deep breath, shamelessly stepped forward and sat across from Wang Cheng, smiled at Wen Yixiao who had been sitting quietly next to Wang Cheng, and then said to Wang Cheng: "Hello, Wang Cheng. The song you just played , can I know the name? I like this piece of music very much. Although it is short, I can hear that the structure is very complete and the performance is simple, but it sounds very nice and the artistic conception is very far-reaching."

"No one who likes piano would reject such a piece of music. Did you write this piece of music yourself?"

Next to him, Phipps, Yan Qing, Zheng Yun, and several other contestants did not go far and listened with their ears pricked up.

Li Guang, Hu Xiaoshan, Zhao Donghu, and Gu Jun also listened carefully, wanting to know the answer from Wang Cheng.

but……

Wow!

There was only a crisp sound of turning a book.

Wang Cheng didn't answer, and he still didn't even look at Sun Haibo.

It was as if Wang Cheng lived in another world and had no intersection with them.

call……

Sun Haibo's face turned red and he felt a little uncomfortable.

However, there was nothing he could do.

He did not dare to be rude to Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng's piano playing level just now surpassed several national-level pianists he knew at Yangyin University, and also surpassed several top international pianists he met when he was studying at Curtis Institute.

He really doesn't want to offend such a piano master, and he doesn't dare to offend him.

Phipps, Zheng Yun, and Yan Qing were all a little disappointed, and they looked at Wang Cheng even more speechless.

Wen Yixiao sat quietly next to Wang Cheng, not talking or doing anything. She just cooperated quietly and enjoyed the feeling of being next to Wang Cheng. Although she was also very curious and wanted to know the answers to the questions Sun Haibo asked. , but she would not ask. Instead, she picked up Wang Cheng's thermos cup, opened the lid for Wang Cheng, and handed it to Wang Cheng gently.

Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment, took the thermos cup, took a sip, and said softly: "Thank you!"

Wen Yixiao smiled like a flower and smiled from the heart: "You're welcome!"

Li Guang took a step forward, sat down on the other side of Wang Cheng, and whispered: "Wang Cheng, the performance just now was great, so beautiful. It exceeded all of our expectations. Did you write this music yourself? ? Our program team needs to know more information before we can promote it!"

Sun Haibo, Phipps and others who were about to leave stopped again, raised their ears and looked at Wang Cheng.

Hu Xiaoshan, Zhao Donghu and others also looked at Wang Cheng, wanting to know the answer.

Wang Cheng replied calmly: "Well, I thought of it in my free time."

After hearing this, everyone around them took a deep breath to suppress their excitement.

Although everyone guessed that this song was written by Wang Cheng, they still couldn't help but get excited after receiving Wang Cheng's affirmative answer.

because……

In the field of world classical music and art, there has been no development for more than half a century, and no outstanding new works have been released for more than half a century.

Many top pianists are just repeating the classic works left by previous music masters.

For example, the piano music played by Sun Haibo, Phipps and others during the competition are all classic masterpieces that have been passed down for centuries.

As for the piece "To Alice" played by Wang Cheng just now, they all recognized it very much. They were willing to perform this piece publicly to bring new sounds to the field of classical music art that had been stagnant for more than half a century.

Hu Xiaoshan, Zhao Donghu, Gu Jun and other members of the program team were even more excited after hearing this. They knew that their program would definitely become a hit.

Li Guang's eyes also flashed with excitement and surprise, and he quickly asked: "What is the name of this piece of music? When we introduce it, we need to write down the name."

He knew that Wang Cheng was very serious about his work and wanted to do a good job, so he talked to Wang Cheng in a work dialogue.

Hu Xiaoshan and others also had learned expressions on their faces.

A trace of thought flashed in Wang Cheng's eyes. Of course, it was impossible to say the name Alice, but he was too lazy to think of a new name, so he said calmly: "I don't know!"

Forehead……

Everyone around was stunned.

have no idea?

Li Guang immediately asked: "Have you not chosen a name yet?"

Wang Cheng nodded: "Yes!"

Li Guang: "How about you give it a name? It would be a pity for such a good work to not have a name."

Wang Cheng shook his head: "I'm too lazy to think of a name!"

Sun Haibo, Phipps and others were heartbroken when they heard this...

Such a beautiful, complete, exquisite and simple song is destined to be spread on a large scale. If it can be given a good name, it will definitely be very meaningful.

They all wished they could go forward and help Wang Cheng choose a name, add their own names to the title of the song, and let their names spread around the world along with this song!

However, they know that it is just a dream.

Hu Xiaoshan stepped forward and said seriously: "Wang Cheng, it won't work without a name. It won't be easy to introduce him then, why don't you think about it?"

Wang Cheng frowned slightly, knowing that he had to have a name, and immediately said: "Then let's call it Etude No. 1."

Etude No. 1...

Everyone around them had their mouths twitching when they heard this.

The quiet Wen Yixiao's pretty face and muscles trembled after hearing this.

Sun Haibo, Phipps, Zheng Yun, Yan Qing and others looked at Wang Cheng with speechless faces...

Isn't this name too perfunctory?

Don't you even cover it up?

Are you ignoring the existence of these people too much?
