This star doesn’t work overtime

Several program team leaders and contestants from several top music schools looked at Wang Cheng helplessly and helplessly...

Obviously, Wang Cheng must have chosen this name to perfunctory them.

However, there was nothing they could do.

After a few seconds of silence, Zhao Donghu said: "Okay, the next game is about to start. The contestants in the next game should go and prepare quickly, so as not to affect the performance! Wang Cheng has just finished his performance and needs to take a rest."

Phipps and Sun Haibo, as well as Zheng Yun and Andre who were about to take the stage, all looked at Wang Cheng even more speechlessly.

They knew very clearly that Wang Cheng's performance just now definitely did not exceed four minutes, and the so-called etude No. 1 he played was also relatively easy. For a top performing master like Wang Cheng, it was just a small game. It’s not an exaggeration, it’s impossible to be tired.

but……

Seeing that Wang Cheng really didn't want to pay attention to these geniuses from top music schools at home and abroad. They also had their own pride and self-esteem, and they couldn't always talk to Wang Cheng here. They immediately followed the words of director Zhao Donghu and returned to themselves. He sat down in his seat and adjusted himself for the performance, but his eyes looked at Wang Cheng from time to time, feeling a lot of pressure.

With Wang Cheng here, their performance pressure is even greater. They not only want to defeat their opponents, but also don't want to be widened by Wang Cheng's performance. Otherwise, their competition performances will appear to be too novices, and they will not be able to compete with each other at all. No standard...

Just like the first group of players Phipps and Sun Haibo, after listening to Wang Cheng's piano performance, they couldn't remember what these two people played.

Zheng Yun and Andre both took out the violins they were most comfortable with after years of practice, and gently stroked them to adjust the best feel and condition.

At the same time, the program team also has two spare violins for the two of them, ready for them at any time. In case their violin suddenly breaks, they can use the program team's spare instrument to top it off, but then they may not have their own violin to use. smoothly.

The host Wang Wenjing also stood at the door and stared blankly at Wang Cheng. Her mind was still filled with the image of Wang Cheng playing the piano just now, as if the sweet music was still surrounding her ears, until Zhao Donghu shouted: "Wen Jing , come on, it’s your turn to play!”

In order to support Wang Wenjing, Oriental TV will try its best to let Wang Wenjing appear alone and give her the opportunity to exercise and accumulate popularity.

Obviously, today is a very rare opportunity.

Wang Wenjing woke up instantly, looked away from Wang Cheng, saw Zhao Donghu, Hu Xiaoshan and other people from the program team looking at her, her face immediately turned red, then she quickly took a deep breath to adjust herself and walked out, saying in a pleasant and majestic voice: "Thank you Wang Cheng for bringing us this incredible piano performance. Just now, I heard Wang Cheng say that he wrote this piece in his spare time and named it Etude No. 1. All I can say is that genius always It’s so unpredictable to us!”

"Next, we have invited the second group of contestants to perform. Please, Mr. Andre from Eastman College, give us a violin solo, welcome!"

Wang Wenjing's words made the audience burst into warm applause.

Today, when the piano is almost universal, the violin is obviously more artistic.

Andre has a Nordic face, holding a violin like a melancholy prince, very photogenic.

Andre was also one of the most popular players here before, because his appearance can attract the favor of many viewers, and his own violin talent and strength are very high. Every time he appears, he is the focus of the audience.

Unfortunately……

This time he appeared after Wang Cheng. After he walked out, the warm applause at the scene quickly disappeared. Everyone was still immersed in the artistic conception of the piano music played by Wang Cheng just now and had not come out for a while.

Moreover, Wang Wenjing just confirmed that this piano piece was composed by Wang Cheng himself and was named Etude No. 1, which also attracted everyone's attention and discussion.

Even the five judges, most of their attention at this time was still on Wang Cheng and the No. 1 etude, and they didn't pay that much attention to Andre who came out.

In the audience, Xu Chaohua said with a wry smile: "Etude No. 1, this name really suits Wang Cheng's character and work style. It's simple and trouble-free!"

Yan Yu said regretfully: "This piano music is so nice, and it should not be difficult to play. It should be able to spread in the future. If it can be given a nice name, it will be more conducive to spread."

Xu Chaohua shook his head: "Wang Cheng's thoughts are different from those of normal people..."

Yan Yu was a little helpless, but her mind was filled with the scene of Wang Cheng playing piano music just now, and she couldn't have any negative emotions towards Wang Cheng.

Tian Wen, who was not far away, heard the name Etude No. 1, and the muscles on her face twitched, and she said helplessly: "This name is too casual!"

Chen Yuqi also nodded: "It's a bit casual, but it seems to be in line with Wang Cheng's style!"

Yu Hong looked towards the back of the stage, where she could vaguely see Wang Cheng sitting in the background reading a book. She really wanted to go over and sit next to Wang Cheng and chat with him.

However, a figure sat next to Wang Cheng, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

For a moment, most people at the scene really didn't pay attention to Andre who walked onto the stage.

Andre could only adjust his mentality, calm down, and then perform as perfectly as possible. Only then would he be able to eliminate his opponent Zheng Yun, and only then would he be able to outshine Wang Cheng!

However, as soon as his thoughts changed, he temporarily put aside his second thought. He knew that with his current strength and level, it was impossible to overshadow Wang Cheng's performance just now...

He only hoped that Wang Cheng's second performance would not be too amazing.

So, now he only wants to do one thing, to eliminate his opponent Zheng Yun!

Andre quickly got into the mood, took the violin and bowed slightly to several judges and all the audience, and then started playing the violin with concentration.

The sweet violin music sounded slowly...

The discussion at the scene gradually subsided, and everyone turned their attention to Andre who had already started playing. Several judges and teachers and students from many conservatories all had their eyes lit up slightly, staring at Andre carefully. It sounded.

This violin piece is a violin sonata that they are all familiar with. It expresses their longing for their hometown. It is also a famous piece a hundred years ago. It has been played countless times by almost all well-known violinists in the past hundred years. It is the most popular piece in the field of violin. One of the famous songs.

There is no doubt about Andre's strength and talent. He quickly entered the state and performed this piece of music almost perfectly, without any technical flaws.

If it was before.

Several judges and teachers and students from many music academies may be very satisfied with Andre's performance at this time, and may even be surprised.

Because the strength Andre showed at this time was enough to hold a concert.

but……

At this time, they all couldn't help but compare Andre's performance now with Wang Cheng's performance just now.

Although the instruments used by the two are different, the repertoire is even more different!

But……

Several judges and many teachers and students from colleges who really understand music and art immediately discovered the gap between the two.

This gap is huge, just like the gap between beginners and top masters.

It is true that Andre's violin playing is almost impeccable technically, and this piece is also quite difficult; and the difficulty of "Fur Elise" played by Wang Cheng just now is almost negligible, and even beginner piano players can play it. .

but……

This better reflects the huge gap between the two.

To be able to play a simple piece of music so perfectly, to perfectly display the artistic conception, and to touch every listener, this is an absolutely perfect musical art performance, and it is the ultimate state that every performer is pursuing.

In comparison, Andre's performance is still at the superficial technical level, and only slightly touches on the musical and artistic artistic conception level.

There is a huge gap in realm between the two.

It is also a threshold that many top performers want to boast about in their lifetime.

However, there are very few who can cross this threshold.

Once you exceed this threshold, you will be called a master performer.

Obviously, Andre is far from touching this threshold, and has just left the technical level at this time.

so……

Several judges listened to Andre's performance and looked at Andre with disappointment and contempt in their eyes. Many teachers and students in the audience were also disappointed.

Andre glanced at the judges and acquaintances in the audience, and immediately saw their disappointed and contemptuous expressions, and was immediately shocked...

"Did I make a mistake in my performance?"

Such thoughts suddenly appeared in Andre's mind, and then he quickly began to recall the performance just now.

And this caused slight mistakes in the movements of his hands.

Such slight errors may not be noticeable to ordinary musicians and musicians with low musical literacy, and there will be no difference in hearing.

However, to several judges and representatives of teachers and students from many music schools, such slight errors were extremely obvious and jarring.

Even Andre himself felt it clearly, and suddenly he became more nervous. He hurriedly adjusted his emotions again, stopped looking at the judges and the audience, closed his eyes, and concentrated on playing, so that he did not make any more mistakes...

However, this slight mistake can be fatal.

Because, for the top talents who perform on this stage, making technical mistakes is really the most inappropriate and lowest-level mistake.

Zheng Yun, who was originally pretty and serious backstage, immediately showed a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Originally, she didn't have the confidence to eliminate Andre because she knew that there was still a slight gap between her and Andre in terms of hard power. This gap was very obvious on the stage!

But now, Andre made a mistake, which gave her a chance.

As long as she can make full use of her strength and perform smoothly without making mistakes, then she will be stable...

Sun Haibo, who was standing next to him, said directly: "Andre made a mistake. He must have been nervous and was affected by Wang Cheng's performance just now! Zheng Yun, when you go on stage to perform later, just close your eyes and perform without looking at others!"

Sun Haibo also kept staring at Andre. He saw that Andre made a mistake the moment he looked at the judges and the audience, so he gave Zheng Yun some advice.

Zheng Yun hummed and wrote this down.

Several other contestants who had not yet appeared, Yan Qing, Eva, Yun Na, Bruce, etc. quickly remembered this in their hearts, and closed their eyes when they came to perform. Their eyes couldn't help but He glanced at Wang Cheng who was sitting there reading a book.

They all know...

The outcome of this game was affected by Wang Cheng.

Although, he did not participate in the game, he was just a guest performer.

However, Wang Cheng influenced everyone with his absolutely strong strength and realm.

It affects the audience, it affects the judges, it affects the players...

It also affects the final result.

All the contestants began to take deep breaths continuously, adjust their state, suppress the shock and emotions brought by Wang Cheng's performance as much as possible, and restore themselves to the most calm performance state.

The person involved, Wang Cheng, was still sitting quietly in his seat, looking at his book intently.

Wen Yixiao, who was next to her, also accompanied her quietly, without speaking, but with a smile and happiness on her face. This is what she wants!

Li Guang, Hu Xiaoshan, Zhao Donghu, Gu Jun and other people from the program team did not disturb Wang Cheng, giving Wang Cheng a quiet environment to prepare for the next performance.

At this time, they no longer cared or looked forward to the performances of these contestants, but were full of expectations for Wang Cheng's second performance!

As a top student who graduated from Moyin, Hu Xiaoshan also heard Andre's mistake and couldn't help but smile and said: "Andre made a mistake. As long as Zheng Yun can exert her own strength normally, promotion will not be a problem! This It’s all thanks to Wang Cheng, Andre must have been affected by Wang Cheng’s performance just now!”

"If Zheng Yun can advance, then our Huaxia students will account for half of the top four, which will already exceed last year's results."

Li Guang nodded absently: "That's not bad..."

All he was thinking about at this time was three words - ratings!

Originally, he didn't have big expectations for this program.

After all, it is just a classical music program that most people don’t watch. Most people can fall asleep watching the performances of these contestants...

Even if Wang Cheng comes, it cannot change the fact that classical music itself does not attract the public.

Therefore, the ratings will naturally not be high.

Li Guang and the leaders of Dragon TV all want to take a long-term view to catch big fish, and place their hopes on cooperating with Wang Cheng next time.

But now...

Li Guang saw the hope of rising quickly now.

Who said...

Can’t classical music be attractive?

As long as Wang Cheng is here, attraction is not a problem!

only……

He was also speechless and helpless about the name of Etudes No. 1.

This name, he wants to hype it up, but it has no characteristics at all.

At this point, Andre's performance was over.

Lu Jiaqi said unceremoniously: "Andre, I am very disappointed in you. You made a mistake in the rhythm. This is the most inappropriate mistake. I can only give you a passing score of 80%..."

Andre's face was full of bitterness, unable to refute...

Then!

Zhang Haijie also said: "This is indeed the most inappropriate mistake. It is too low-level. I will give you eighty-one points, barely passing."

Several other foreign judges could not give high scores. After all, the mistake was too obvious, too low-level, and too fatal. They could only give eighty-three points, eighty-four points, and eighty-five points.

Such a score is a disaster for a genius like Andre.

His scores in previous competition performances were all above 90 points.

Many viewers at the scene were also very sympathetic and helpless about this result.

Andre was in no mood to talk and left the stage sadly...

He thought that if he was eliminated, it would spread in the academy after returning to China and he would be laughed at by many people.

His mood became even more depressed...

Andre walked backstage, glanced at Zheng Yun and Wang Cheng not far away, then sat down on his seat with an expressionless expression, and threw his beloved violin directly on the seat!

Zheng Yun didn't care about Andre's negative emotions. After adjusting her mentality, she immersed herself in her performance mentality. Then she slowly walked out, bowed to the judges and the audience, and started the performance.

The piece Zheng Yun chose was also a violin piece similar to Andre's choice. It was a bit difficult and very well-known.

but……

As soon as Zheng Yun appeared on the stage, everyone had completely moved on from Wang Cheng's performance just now, so all their attention was on Zheng Yun, and their eyes were very serious.

Zheng Yun also closed her eyes, focused on her performance, and played the piece almost perfectly.

Tian Wen smiled and said: "Zheng Yun is really lucky this time. Moyin can now improve its international reputation."

As Moyin's violin genius, Zheng Yun directly eliminated Andre. She will quickly become famous in the field of international classical music and art, and Moyin will also be known to many people.

The teachers and students of Moyin not far away were all smiling and watched Zheng Yun's performance nervously and seriously throughout the whole process, for fear that Zheng Yun would also make mistakes.

fine……

Until the end of the show.

There were no mistakes in Zheng Yun's performance, and she even performed beyond the standard. Her expression of musical artistic conception was even better than before.

The applause was very warm.

Zheng Yun said bluntly: "Thank you everyone. Thank you for Wang Cheng's piano performance just now. It gave me some inspiration and gave me some temporary insights on violin playing. Thank you..."

After saying that, Zheng Yun bowed slightly in the direction of Wang Cheng to thank him.

The camera also turned around, and everyone looked over.

However, all he saw was a figure sitting there reading a book, completely ignoring Zheng Yun, the scene and everyone's gaze, which seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Zheng Yun was slightly speechless and didn't care.

Several judges also gave Zheng Yun high praise.

As a professor of Magic Sound, Zhang Haijie said directly: "It is a perfect breakthrough performance. Zheng Yun, you have broken through yourself. I think, with your performance in this state, even if Andre didn't make a mistake just now, it is not yours." Opponent. I’ll give you ninety-six points, come on!”

Andre was sitting there in the background with his fists clenched and his face as calm as water. He kept taking deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart. He didn't dare to touch his beloved violin for fear that he would throw it away...

Several other judges also gave Zheng Yun a score of about 90 points.

There is no doubt that Andre has been eliminated.

Zheng Yun advanced to the second semi-finals.

The audience burst into even warmer applause again.

However, none of the eyes looked at Zheng Yun, but looked at the backstage, at the figure reading a book, even the judges.

They all know that according to the program team's procedures...

Wang Cheng will perform a performance after each group of contestants.

Andre and Zheng Yun's competition performances are over, and the results are out.

Next…

It's time for Wang Cheng to appear again.

Everyone is full of expectations.

What piano music will Wang Cheng play?

Are you going to play another piano piece of your own composition?

That would be too outrageous, right?

Many people are thinking quickly...

Zhao Donghu and Gu Jun also began to direct the staff to move the piano onto the stage for Wang Cheng to prepare.

Li Guang whispered beside Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, it's your turn to perform!"

Wang Cheng hummed, put down his book, stood up, saw several staff members who were struggling to move the piano, and said calmly: "Moving the piano is too troublesome, stop moving it!"

Forehead……

Everyone in the background looked at Wang Cheng with wide eyes.

Zheng Yun, who was still in a state of excitement after just walking out, Andre, who was disappointed after being eliminated, and all the other contestants looked at Wang Cheng with wide eyes.

Wang Wenjing, who was about to speak on stage, Zhao Donghu, who was moving the piano, and Gu Jun also stopped and looked at Wang Cheng...

Everyone's eyes are full of doubts and confusion.

No more moving the piano?

Too much trouble?

But……

What do you play on?

If it were before, they might have looked at Wang Cheng like an idiot.

But now, they only have doubts and wonders. They don't know what Wang Cheng wants to do, but they don't think that Wang Cheng is doing something stupid.

because……

They may not understand Wang Cheng.

However, it cannot be denied that every strange step Wang Cheng takes is incredible and successful.

Hu Xiaoshan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Wang Cheng, what do you want to use?"

Everyone looked at Wang Cheng closely, nervous and expecting...

But Wang Cheng frowned slightly and glanced around, taking a look at all the musical instruments he could see...

moment.

All the people around who looked at Wang Cheng were speechless.

Sun Haibo murmured in a low voice: "Are you just starting to look for musical instruments now?"

Everyone else's eyes widened even more...

this……

Can't?
