Chapter 309 Rematch (5)

.

The melody of the sonata in "Pathitic" is centered on Lu Wei and circulates in the concert hall. At this moment, Lu Wei's whole mind is completely immersed in the melody of the sonata. The pleasure of his ten fingers flying on the keys made him shine with a brilliance.

Even the audience who have little understanding of the piano can see that Lu Wei's playing is very good at this moment, and his free and easy state is far from comparable to his performance in the preliminaries.

At this moment, the judges also showed a look of concentration on their faces. As soon as the song "Sigh" sounded, their nerves were shocked. At this moment, the sonata of "Pathitic" completely changed the impression Lu Wei left on them in the preliminaries.

Among the judges, the most surprised expression on their faces was probably Grafman, one of the judges' chairman, because just now, Zhou Guangren told him that Lu Wei's time to learn piano was only a short year! In less than a year, he could actually play Liszt's "Ghost Fire". Even if his performance was average, it was enough to surprise people. However, the level shown by Lu Wei at this moment made him suffer once, which was already very surprised.

A greater shock. If I hadn't known Zhou Guangren very well and knew that this rigorous pianist educator never said anything, Grafman would have thought that the person who said this was talking nonsense. What a joke! At this level, one year? I'm afraid that ordinary people can't reach this level even if they practice hard for ten years. You must know that the gap in technology can be narrowed, and the gap in level cannot be made up by just studying hard, and that requires talent!

However, at this moment, listening to this song "Pathith" which is almost comparable to that of a professional American pianist, Grafman could no longer hide his shock. Lu Wei's performance was not over yet. Grafman's face was already full of incredible expressions. He impulsively tried to interrupt Lu Wei's performance several times. He personally heard him admit everything Zhou Guangren said, but the identity of a judge made him endure it hard.

With a decisive chord, the first movement of the eighth piano sonata "Pathitic" ended at Lu Wei's fingertips.

He sighed with satisfaction, Lu Wei's face was full of enjoyment. After playing this song, he also understood the words Wei Xiaofan and Kong Xiangdong said to him, "Play it whatever you should do!" Yes, the competition is just a form, why can't you see this through, and you were actually scared by the word "international". It's really ridiculous. So what if you can't get the first place? After this and it fell, Lu Wei truly understood what the most important thing about the piano to him is, that is the pleasure brought to him by playing, not the fame of those subordinates!

He stood up neatly and left the curtain call, Lu Wei held the piano in his hand. His face was full of a confident smile! This smile was also captured by countless cameras and cameras on the scene. I believe that in no time, this bright smile will appear in newspapers and magazines of major music and entertainment media.

Looking at Lu Wei in the center of the stage, Xiao Nan said softly: "He has finally found his state. This stage belongs to him." Turning around and looking at Li Yundi, Qin Chuan and others sitting next to him, Xiao Nan couldn't help but sigh. These people are so radiant that this competition is destined to be the stage for their performance. He has always been known as a piano genius in school, but standing among them, he can only become a foiler. Although Xiao Nan was a little unwilling to give up, he knew his strength very well. He had nothing to say after all, their strength was too strong. Especially Lu Wei, Xiao Nan knew in his heart that although Lu Wei performed poorly in the preliminary round, he had watched Lu Wei play in Beijing very much.

Understand what level Lu Wei's true level is. The Chinese contestants who participated in the competition this time entered the rematch. All of them were geniuses. But whether it was Li Yundi or Qin Chuan, Xiao Nan felt that although they were strong, they were still at the level of "competition". Only Lu Wei, when he first heard his playing "Moonlight" in the Xinghai Cup competition, Xiao Nan felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He understood that with his efforts, he might become a pianist in the future, but he was afraid that he would not reach the level of "Moonlight" for his whole life. Xiao Nan had no doubt that if Lu Wei could reach the state of playing the "Moonlight" sonata of Xinghai Cup at this moment, this stage would completely become a stage for him to perform alone.

In the center of the stage, Lu Wei was closing his eyes and listening to the applause and cheers of the crowd. After a moment, when he opened his eyes again, he found that Zhou Tao had come to his side.

"Okay, Lu Wei, next is the improvisational creation process. Are you ready?" Zhou Tao said with a affectionate smile.

"It's ready." Lu Wei replied with a smile.

At this moment, Grafman, the chairman of the judges at the highest level, made a gesture to Zhou Tao in the center of the stage.

"Okay. Please wait. Mr. Grafman, the chairman of our judges, has something to say." Zhou Tao said, making a gesture to Grafman and signaled.

When the other judges heard Zhou Taodi's words, they were slightly stunned. The competition has been going on for so many days. Grafman rarely commented on the contestants. I don't know why I thought of talking today. And they chose to do so when the contestants did not finish the competition. This situation made them feel a little strange.

The audience members below also turned their attention to the judges who had not paid much attention a few days ago. I don’t know what he was going to do.

Grafman took the microphone, cleared his throat, blurted out fluent American English, and the judges translated his dialect immediately.

"Hello, Lu Wei, can I ask you a question?" Grafman said with a smile. "Of course." Although Lu Wei didn't know how to ask himself a question today, he still looked at Grafman with a smile and answered politely.

"Just just heard Professor Zhou next to me say that you have been learning piano systematically for less than a year. Is that true?" Grafman said, his eyes becoming more eager.

At the same time, as soon as these words were spoken, the entire concert hall immediately became an uproar. Of course, the judges from other countries responded the most. They were all whispering and talking quickly, but their faces all showed shock.

"What?! I heard right from my ears. Mr. Grafman just said that this contestant has been learning piano for less than a year?!" Fanny Waterman, the famous British pianist with long golden hair, turned his head and looked in disbelief on his face and asked the judge Alexis Weisenberg beside her.

"Yes, this is so unbelievable. Oh my God, how is this possible?! Could it be that his previous life was Mozart's piano prodigy? In less than a year, he could play the works of Liszt and Beethoven to such an extent?!" Alexis Weisenberg, the outstanding modern stunning pianist, has a very high talent, and few piano geniuses can shock him. However, Grafman's words just now hit him so much that he didn't know how to say it when facing Fanny Waterman's problem.

Not only the judges, but also the atmosphere below the stage became chaotic because of Grafman's words, and you could hear a low voice from time to time.

The one who reacted the most strongly was probably the media from all over the world. They immediately realized that this was a big news. Many reporters pointed their cameras at Lu Wei in the center of the stage and pressed the shutter in their hands. Although they had not heard Lu Wei's answer yet, with Grafman's prestige in the piano industry, what he said would never be aimless. The media firmly believed in this.

Due to the live broadcast, countless music fans in front of the TV also saw this unexpected scene. Many music fans who were watching the competition showed a look of surprise on their faces. Then, the surprise of Chinese music fans quickly turned to excitement. After all, they were naturally very happy to see such a strong player appearing in their country. However, Lu Wei had not answered yet, so they were not sure whether the words Grafman said were true.

But at this moment, there was a person who was smiling happily in front of the TV.

This person is of course Lu Wei's other teacher, Comrade Wei Xiaofan. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the judges, Wei Xiaofan thought this was really interesting. He did not expect that Zhou Guangren would tell the matter out. Looking at Grafman's eager gaze, Wei Xiaofan smiled happily because Lu Wei was his student! Even though he taught this student, he felt very disappointed.

At the same time, Wei Xiaofan also had a premonition that this competition may become a turning point in Lu Wei's piano career and a turning point in moving from domestic to international stage.

Looking at the chaotic situation below the stage, Zhou Tao had to pick up the microphone to maintain stage order.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet, thank you!"
