world number one pianist

Chapter 158 You call this the bottom one?

Zhang Wei, he is Jiangzhou Normal University's Conservatory of Music, the last student in the entrance examination this year.

After following He Shen and listening to Ji Mengting's teaching for a while, he was pulled into his seat by He Shen, and listened to the work he was about to perform later.

Zhang Wei didn't think much, and immediately took out the repertoire he was going to use for the competition, and played it for He Shen.

After he finished playing, He Shen made a few suggestions for him.

There are not many suggestions, but they can be changed quickly.

After all, these suggestions are basically some musical things.

These things were changed very quickly, and it didn't take long for the two of them to basically grasp what He Shen wanted to express to them.

Therefore, after Zhang Wei finished his class, he pulled the second last one, who was also his fellow sufferer.

The two quickly rushed towards the Huaguo Conservatory of Music.

They are tonight's game, and they hugged each other before going on the field.

Not to mention whether it will work or not, but at least, I will feel much better psychologically.

The two walked to the venue, checked their identities, and confirmed their rankings...

After finishing everything, the two followed the staff and quickly went behind the stage to wait for the scene.

Because it was not such a particularly eye-catching game as the opening game, all the lounges behind the concert hall were not used.

Everyone basically stood behind the stage, waiting for the staff to call their numbers.

One after another, they went up and started to play. When they reached a certain place, they were judged to stop by the teacher.

Basically this is the case.

After all, there are really too many students, and it is impossible for the judges and teachers to spend so much time listening to so many students' performances.

Therefore, at this moment in the backstage of the game, it was crowded.

Everyone was chatting quietly to dispel the tension in their hearts.

Zhang Wei looked around, those students from other schools, couldn't help trembling a little, and whispered to the one next to him, that is, the second-behind one.

"Hey, second, are you nervous now? I'm so nervous, my legs are numb from the tension, and I don't even feel pinched."

The penultimate person was also trembling. Hearing Zhang Wei's words, he immediately raised his head, looked at him sadly, and said helplessly.

"Back one, I know you're nervous, but! Can you stop pinching my leg!"

"Oh, sorry……"

Zhang Wei immediately let go of his hand, looked at the second one, and both of them sighed at the same time.

They are very nervous now. They were not so nervous when they were with He Shen before, but now that they are in the examination room, the feeling of nervousness comes instantly.

After all, He Shen never put too much pressure on them, let them play freely, and didn't expect much from them.

But... other teachers!They are all putting pressure on their piano group!Especially the pressure of freshmen like them!
Everyone in the piano department knows that this year is a very important year for Teacher He Shenhe. If they can get a relatively good ranking in this teaching competition, then their teacher, He Shen, can go directly to Poland .

Go to the Chopin International Piano Competition!
But if they don't play well...

Then all hope can only rest on Ji Mengting.

They don't want all the pressure to be placed on Ji Mengting.

When the two of them were at school, every time they went to the piano room at eight o'clock sharp, they could see Ji Mengting already practicing the piano.

When they left the piano room at eight o'clock in the evening, they could still see Ji Mengting still practicing the piano.

Unless the two of them skipped breakfast and went straight to practicing the piano when the piano room just opened, that is, at seven o'clock in the morning.

That is to say, when Auntie Qinfang just woke up and came out to do morning exercises, they could catch up with Ji Mengting's pace.

It was only at night that they were constantly urged by their aunt until the aunt wanted to curse, probably around ten o'clock at night...

Only then can they catch up with Ji Mengting's pace of leaving the piano room.

They were in school, no matter what time they were, they could see Ji Mengting practicing extremely hard.

Especially, after this group of people was notified about the match.

Ji Mengting practiced even harder.

Sometimes I heard from my aunt that Ji Mengting would practice all night in the piano room.

Why is Ji Mengting like this?
Both of them know...

Students of the Jiangzhou Normal University School of Music are not allowed!
You can even say that Jiangzhou Normal University School of Music is very bad!

Among the many colleges and universities participating in this year's competition, only ten schools can get the place to submit videos.

The further the school is, the more teachers they have, and the more places they can submit videos to the Chopin International Piano Competition.

They can even attract some teachers from other schools to their school like Chuanzhou Conservatory of Music attracted He Shen, and then give him a chance to submit.

If there is no official seal recognized by the China Association of Conservatory of Music, no one will even watch the video you sent.

After all, there are so many people in the world, and everyone has sent so many videos, where did the judges have the time to watch them all?
With so many schools, only ten schools can be selected to send people to submit videos.

Among these ten schools, the eight conservatories basically occupied eight places.

Other schools in China are competing for the final two places.

Although Jiangzhou Normal University's Conservatory of Music is a relatively high-ranking university among the first-tier music universities, but...

They have never, never, never been in the top ten once!
When they had the best grades, they were in the top fifteen in China.

This kind of achievement has no chance at all, get one, and submit a video quota.

So Ji Mengting could only keep working hard and use all her strength to win a little more points for Jiangzhou Normal University.

If she can win the championship of this year's piano freshman, then Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music can at least get a spot!
She worked so hard not only for herself, but also for He Shen!
He Shen taught her the piano very seriously, without any secrets, and she could feel that her foundation was becoming extremely solid.

Correspondingly, she naturally needs to give He Shen a return, telling He Shen that he is expecting the wrong person, and she is counting on Mengting, which is worthy of He Shen's expectation!

All these hardships, all these efforts, without exception, were seen in the eyes of this unlucky child.

Although they never said anything, their psychology always felt bitter...

They couldn't help Ji Mengting, the girl who enrolled at the same time as them, any little help.

If it is not done well, they may still be behind...

Zhang Wei, that is, the one who fell first, rubbed his hands together, and then made a haha ​​with his mouth.

Although the heating was turned on in the concert hall, his body was a little bit cold due to the excessive tension.

Looking at the students walking onto the stage one by one, Zhang Wei felt a little helpless for a moment when he saw the confidence in many of their eyes.

"Secondly, look at these people, really, I really feel that we are so weak..."

"Yes, it's a pity that the two of us are too weak. If we are a little stronger, maybe we can help Mr. He a little..."

"Really, I really don't know what's the use of bringing the two of us out of the school. Can't we bring a few particularly powerful ones? For example, the top ten this year? What can we two weak chickens do for the school? Help? No! We can only hold back..."

"That's right, what do you take the two of us for, we're just trash..."

When he said that he was a waste, Zhang Wei followed the two of them, and there was no wave in his eyes at all, but it was a bit taken for granted.

When you are surrounded by either academic gods or academic masters, and you see yourself at the bottom of the list, you will naturally forget that you entered a very powerful school.

You will only remember that you yourself are a scumbag...

After all, when you are a girl of the same age, she is better than you in playing the piano no matter what.

Even the unenrolled student under her teacher can play better than you.

When the people around you who you come into contact with the most are so powerful that they cannot be added.

Even if you can get into the highest school, you will still doubt yourself.

All the violins I have learned before are in the dog's stomach?

Sure enough, I am a hot chicken...

"No. 111, Jiangzhou Normal University School of Music, Zhang Wei!"

Just as the two of them complained about themselves and huddled together to keep warm, the staff suddenly held a long manual and shouted at everyone.

"Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei from Jiangzhou Normal University's Conservatory of Music, it's your turn next, hurry up and gather in the background!"

"Zhang Wei, hurry up and gather in the background! Don't waste my time, everyone's time is precious! Speed ​​up!"

When he was secretly sad, he suddenly heard the call of the staff, and Zhang Wei was almost scared into cardiac arrest.

He felt that his blood became cold in an instant, looking at the unlucky boy in the second place, he said helplessly.

"What should I do? Now it's my turn. I feel that I might be eliminated in the first round..."

"Come on, you can do it..."

The second, the unlucky child, gave Zhang Wei a thumbs up with difficulty and encouraged him.

It's a pity that this encouragement did not motivate Zhang Wei at all, but made him even more timid.

After all, the encouragement of the second one seems to be the end.

The second-to-last in a school, encourage the last-to-last in the school, saying that he is very strong?

No matter how you look at it, it seems like a mockery...

Therefore, Zhang Wei looked at this completely powerless encouragement, and wanted to laugh, but couldn't. His face twitched a few times, and he showed an ugly smile at the second.

"Then, I'll go up and suffer to death first, and you should do your best too..."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Wei turned around abruptly, and resolutely walked towards the entrance of the backstage of the stage.

For a moment, he actually walked out of the feeling of wind rustling and Yi Shuihan.

This feeling lasted until the front of the staff, and was interrupted instantly by the staff.

"Your name is Zhang Wei? Call you so many times, can't you hear? Huh?"

"Um... sorry, sorry..." Zhang Wei, who was full of momentum, immediately froze, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

The staff said unhappily: "Next time, hurry up, so many people want to compete, there is no time to wait for you!"

"Okay okay..."

Zhang Wei laughed, scratched his head in embarrassment, and stood obediently in front of the staff.

The staff member clicked his tongue and didn't bother Zhang Wei much. He directly led Zhang Wei to the door of the stage entrance, pointed to the door and said.

"No, after the person above comes down, you can go up directly without waiting for the curtain call, but you still have to wait for the curtain call before you play."

"Okay, no problem." Zhang Wei nodded vigorously.

Seeing Zhang Wei's special cooperation, most of the anger in the staff's heart was relieved. They took out the list that they took out when Zhang Wei's name was called before, put it in front of Zhang Wei, and said to Zhang Wei.

"Okay, since you have no problem, let me confirm with you again, Zhang Wei, male, a freshman in the School of Music of Jiangzhou Normal University, performing works, Liszt's concert technique etude, "Hero"? Right?"

"That's right."

"OK, after checking, you sign behind your name, and I'll call the next one."

Zhang Wei took the pen, quickly signed his name on it, and then walked to the stage.

After waiting for a short while, the sound on the stage has disappeared.

The stage door opened, and a girl whose name was unknown came down from the stage with tears in her eyes.

Obviously, it was criticized by the judges.

Seeing this girl about to cry, Zhang Wei's feeling of unhappiness immediately increased a few points, and he felt that he was about to die.

Looking at the steps in front of him, Zhang Wei felt like a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire. After hesitating for a long time, he stepped up.

One step, two steps...

Zhang Wei slowly walked to the intersection of the stage light and shadow, looked at the piano in front of him, under the illumination of the stage, and his hands gradually ooze sweat.

If, if...

What if I fail at this time?
So, isn't Ji Mengting the only freshman in Jiangzhou Normal University's Conservatory of Music who can continue to support her?

Sophomores and juniors, they basically can't last long, only a few of them can make it to the second round, and they all rank very low, the kind that will definitely be eliminated!

He went to the official website to check last year's and even the previous year's games.

The sophomores and juniors this year were freshmen and sophomores last year, and none of them got good grades.

They are expected to advance by leaps and bounds after a year of study, defeating other schools and becoming the number one?

That's even more impossible!
Hope can basically only be placed on freshmen like them!

Zhang Wei suddenly felt the pressure, the pressure that had been pressing on Ji Mengting before, the pressure that made him unable to breathe.

"Hey, are you going to make it or not? There are other people behind! If you don't make it, get off quickly!"

The staff in charge of the announcement found that he had finished the announcement and Zhang Wei hadn't played yet, so he couldn't help frowning, turned off the microphone, knocked hard on the table next to him, and urged Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei took a deep breath, let out the pressure in his heart slowly, and smiled at the staff next to him, showing his teeth.

"Up, up, up, just a little nervous."

"Come on, hurry up!"

"okay."

Zhang Wei put his gaze on the piano, and his eyes gradually stabilized. He stepped forward with great firmness and stepped under the stage lights.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Zhang Wei walked faster and faster, and then sat on the piano bench.

When he sat on the piano bench, the tension in his heart had gradually dissipated.

Now there is only pressure.

However, I have already sat on the piano bench, so I will be pessimistic about winning or losing, and play if I am not convinced!

Anyway, with my own strength, I will do my best and it will be fine!
Zhang Wei gritted his teeth violently, raised his finger up forcefully, and then smashed it down.

Liszt, Music Etudes, No. [-]!
"hero"!
……

At the judges' table, many judges were standing there looking at the form in front of them, which contained various scoring rules and Zhang Wei's information.

"Hey, did you see that this person is from the Music College of Jiangzhou Normal University, he is also a freshman, and he is the same age as that Ji Mengting."

Suddenly, a teacher who didn't know where it was, raised the registration form in his hand and said to everyone.

When the others heard it, their eyes, which were not fluctuating much at first, gradually showed interest.

"Huh? Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music? That's the school where No. 12 Ji Mengting is from among the 2 people at the opening ceremony?"

"That's right, it's that school. I found out just now, and this person is also a student of He Shen!"

"Huh? He is also He Shen's student? Interesting!"

"I don't know why, but I suddenly became curious about this person. As He Shen's student, I am very curious about how he can play well."

Everyone's eyes became brighter, and they were gradually full of anticipation for the work performed by the student who was about to appear next.

Suddenly, someone asked everyone: "By the way, do you think it is possible that he can also achieve Ji Mengting's grades? Get today's No.2? After all, he is He Shen's student."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the man's words. "How is it possible? One is enough for Ji Mengting. How can there be two in the school? Impossible, so relax."

They are only curious about this student, and they are also limited to curiosity.

Apart from being curious about what kind of works this student can play, there is no other curiosity.

After all, they can probably guess the student's strength, which is almost backward.

On the registration form in front of them, it was written that this student named Zhang Wei was in school this year and had just entered school.

the last one!

So they don't feel how strong Zhang Weineng is at all.

In fact, Ji Mengting's strength is strong, and they are not too surprised.

Among the twelve schools on the first day, except for the eight conservatories, all the other schools were drawn from the best students in each school.

Even if the Conservatory of Music of Jiangzhou Normal University is not one of the eight conservatories, it is still a first-tier university conservatory after all.

No matter what, Ji Mengting is No.1, and the results of No.1 will naturally not be particularly bad.

What is more surprising is that she did not expect that she could play No.2, the No.2 in the opening match of the first day.

However, it is different now. The current situation is completely different from that of the opening ceremony.

Now it's not like the previous competition, the fighting spirit seed player who appeared on the stage.

The people appearing now are all from various schools, with various rankings, from the first and second, to the bottom one and second, all of them.

For example, this guy named Zhang Wei is from Jiangzhou Normal University's Conservatory of Music, and this year he is the first.

As long as he can participate in the competition, and his teacher is He Shen, then this person must have something.

It's just that, basically, everyone knows that this person should have something, and certainly not too much.

Therefore, no one expected too much from him how high the score would be.

No matter how strong the bottom one is, it is only the bottom one after all...

All the judges did not speak, just looking forward to Zhang Wei's appearance.

Soon, in their eyes, Zhang Wei came out from behind the scenes, walked over to the piano, and adjusted his seat quickly, without any intention of greeting the teachers at all.

For a while, some teachers' complexions became not so good.

"This student is a bit rude..."

"Disrespecting the teacher, bad review."

"That's right, you shouldn't salute first when you go on stage..."

"..."

The sound of their whispering had not yet fallen, and a loud noise sounded from their ears in an instant.

Many people's goosebumps rose in an instant.

The beginning of this sound?
this is……

Liszt, Etudes for Concert Technique.

"hero"!
The extremely powerful Yiyin at the beginning, combined with the upper octave, let Yiyin slam down along the octave.

The moment the finger fell on the bass sound, the voice sounded!
With a slight movement of Zhang Wei's feet, the voice was prolonged, and his fingers took advantage of this opportunity to immediately reach the high-pitched part.

boom!
The chords struck again.

"This is……"

Some sharp-eyed teachers couldn't help but froze.

This, this is...

This is flying!

Fly low!

At this moment, Zhang Wei's hand was flying over the piano keyboard!

Every sound is pressed extremely accurately, extremely clear, and extremely powerful.

The students who had listened to too many hot chickens before, the sudden sense of conflict immediately overwhelmed their thinking.

"Fuck, this is... He Shen's student?"

"He Shen's strength is so strong???"

A group of people are stupid.

This is down one? ? ?

Do you care if this is the first one? ? ?

Even if it is the last one of Huaguo Conservatory of Music, it is not so scary!

Leaving aside the chord drop at the beginning, the rapid scale behind it is even more terrifying.

Every sound is particularly clear and full of graininess, and none of the sounds are blurred.

This is the sound he played at an extremely fast speed in his hands.

At such a fast speed, he didn't have a single sound, and there was a little problem.

Is this really one? ? ?Do you really care about this person and call him Daoyi? ? ? ?
At this moment, on the stage, no one dared to believe the list in their hands.

What is Jiangzhou Normal University's Conservatory of Music admissions...

If Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music can have this level of admission, then Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music has already surpassed Huaguo Conservatory of Music!
The person at the head is slightly weaker than the strongest member of the Huaguo Conservatory of Music.

The person at the bottom is much stronger than the weakest person in Huaguo Conservatory of Music.

Are you really right? ? ?

What a joke! ! !
Everyone looked at Zhang Wei on the stage, feeling a little tired for a moment, and waved their hands.

Whatever, destroy, that's all.

Tired heart……

Listen to this man's performance with peace of mind.

Zhang Wei didn't know what the judges were thinking.

As soon as his fingers fell on the piano, his spirit was instantly concentrated.

Forget all the tension, forget all the fear, relieve most of the stress.

What remains in my heart is only my thoughts and thoughts on this piece of work.

Fingers, running and flying quickly on the piano keyboard.

Every sound strives to be the best.

Everything written on the music sheet is shown.

Express as much as you can!
Then, I threw all the things I showed to all the judges, and there was nothing left!

boom!
The piano is trembling, the piano is roaring!
Zhang Wei, he is smashing the piano hard!

All my emotions were thrown out.

boom!
The sound burst out!Like a broken bottle!
This figure made almost every cell in Zhang Wei's body tremble.

The music is crazily stimulating his nerves!

His nerves were also completely tense at this moment, without any relaxation.

This sense of tension and strength thoroughly implements the whole work.

There is no omission of any trace.

Even if he is a hot chicken...

Even if he ranks last in Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music this year...

He, before enrolling...

He is also a state, top [-] top students!

He used to be, in the eyes of everyone, an extremely enviable existence!
He's not a total hottie, he's just a gold masked by incomparable jewels around him! ! !
Finally, amidst an extremely explosive chord, Zhang Wei raised his hand abruptly, panting heavily.

He stared blankly at the piano in front of him, which still had the sweat from his palms before.

His forehead felt wet, and his hair had been completely soaked in sweat.

He couldn't believe it for a moment.

Myself, it seems to be finished?

It seems that I didn't get stopped by the judges, and I played the whole piece directly?

Own……

Succeeded?
Then yourself...

Is it possible to temporarily suspend the pressure for other students?

Zhang Wei looked at the judges, rubbed his sore hands, got up and walked to the edge of the stage, his legs trembled slightly, and bowed slightly to all the judges.

"Well, I'm done playing. Teachers, what do you think? Can you pass the first round of exams?"

"..."

All the judges couldn't help covering their heads.

At this level, you are qualified to charge towards the top [-] people, and you are still wondering whether you can pass the first round of exams?

For a while, they felt a little tired from listening, and waved their hands at Zhang Wei helplessly.

"Ah, yes, yes, you played pretty well. You passed the test. Let's prepare for the next round of exams."

"I passed the level?"

Zhang Wei's eyes lit up suddenly, he took a small step forward, and asked all the judges.

"Teacher, have I really passed the test?"

"Yes, you have passed."

"Really? Really, teacher, didn't you lie?"

"No lie."

"Teacher, you said that Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people. Assure me, I really passed the test!"

"What about me???"

An impatient judge almost couldn't stand up, and went up to PK with real Zhang Wei.

Saying it once is enough, what do you want to say so many times?To show off how well you play?

The others immediately stopped the teacher and said helplessly to Zhang Wei.

"Okay, okay, Huaguo people don't lie to Huaguo people, you passed the test, and you passed the test at a very high level, are you satisfied?"

"Well, thank you teacher!"

Zhang Wei immediately bowed vigorously, and ran down with almost a jumping pace.

Watching Zhang Wei walk off the stage, all the teachers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, he's finally gone. I almost went down and beat him up just now."

"Calm down, it's against the law to beat someone up, don't beat someone up, let him go straight away."

Everyone comforted, then picked up the next registration form, and continued to enter the next player.

After walking by a few times, their eyes could not help but froze, and they picked up the form in their hands trembling.

etc?what is this? ? ?
Jiangzhou Normal University School of Music? ? ?

Freshman again? ? ?

Is this person still second?One higher than the one just now? ? ?
Everyone glanced at each other, their lips could not help but dry up, and they spoke in embarrassment.

"Ahaha, there shouldn't be any problems with this person, right? After all, the first one has risen, so shouldn't the second one also rise?"

"Yes, there should be no problem, right? Probably..."

The more people talked, the less confidence they had, and their voices became smaller and smaller.

The announcer's announcement sounded quickly.

The second-to-last unlucky kid, like Zhang Wei, walked quickly to the piano, and without saying hello to the judges, he raised his hand and dropped it abruptly.

boom!
The first time they heard this voice, many judges couldn't help but put pain masks on their faces.

"Again???"
