Grafman looked at Lu Wei in the center of the stage. He could not remember how many times this was shocked today. This unknown Chinese player in the preliminaries stirred his nerves again and again tonight.

First there was the excellent etude "Sigh" and then the wonderful "Pathithi". However, these two works were works written by predecessors after all. Although Grafman was surprised, this surprise was still limited.

But this song...

This is improvisation! Of course Grafman would not have thought that this was a series of works by the mysterious pianist daydreaming several years later. At that time, when these dozens of casual piano music were released, they once affected the status of Clayderman's popular piano music. Although it was simple, it touched the hearts of countless people with the sincere and straightforward music style. Now, Lu Weixin played him out, how shock did it cause to these judges?

The answer can be seen from the expressions on the judges' faces. Almost all the judges were quietly thinking about the same question: Is this really an impromptu? Although the melody is simple, it has a touching force. When Lu Wei was playing just now, almost all the judges were a little lost because the sound of the piano was so beautiful. To be fair, even if they were allowed to improvise live, they would definitely not be able to play this level!

After playing, Lu Wei realized that he had become a shameless plagiarist again, but just saw the picture, he couldn't help but think of this piece of music. He thought that since the Daydream series of piano music has not been written yet, I believe it is nothing to copy one or two songs.

Looking at the audience's eyes below the stage, Lu Wei realized that he might be a little too much.

Sure enough, when I saw Lu Wei playing such a beautiful work in the improvisational creation session, everyone immediately became crazy after a moment of silence. Huge applause and cheers rushed towards Lu Wei in the center of the stage like a tide.

The media reporters were even more excited. A non-professional player who has been studying piano for less than a year can play Beethoven's piano music so well. Now, he has shown his unexpected and incredible originality! Such a stunning contestant is simply the best news material for them. No wonder they all showed almost crazy expressions on their faces!

Xiaoling, who has been a little worried these days, now saw Lu Weidi's performance, a hint of relief smile appeared on her face. These days, although Xiaoling has been fine every day and has been walking around with Lu Wei, her worries are actually no less than Lu Wei. Seeing that Lu Wei's mood has been bad because of the failure in the preliminary round, Xiaoling was also very anxious. But she dared not show it, for fear that Lu Wei would be more stressed after watching it. Now, seeing that Lu Wei finally successfully adjusted his mentality and performed at a normal level. Xiaoling felt as if he had lifted a heavy burden in his heart and let out a long sigh.

At this moment, seeing Lu Wei's wonderful performance, several contestants who had not yet appeared felt a little pressure. They might be confident that they would not lose too much to Lu Wei in the performance of the prescribed song, but when they saw this improvisational performance, the contestants were speechless. Whether it was Li Yundi, Qin Chuan and others, they were thinking in their hearts: Is this improvisational? Such a music can be used as a complete casual piano piece, and it is extremely outstanding. * Of course, they would never have thought of it. This was originally a song that had been written long ago. However, because of Lu Wei's special existence, it appeared in front of the world several years in advance.

This wonderful improvisation was also broadcast live on TV and was heard by thousands of music fans at the first time. Although they did not hear the live effect, the song brought them surprise and shock, but it was no less than the audience on the scene. Many people immediately fell in love with this song after listening to it once. Some record companies with sensitive sense of smell have already felt the huge commercial value contained in this song and began to consider whether it is possible to buy the commercial copyright of this song. Although it was an improvisational performance, they were not worried that Lu Wei could not remember this song. After all, there must be videos on the TV station. Such a simple little song can easily get the score by using the "trailing" method. But they did not consider that Lu Wei himself is also the boss of a record company. How could such a good thing be their turn to be?

The audience and the media were crazy and continued for nearly two minutes before they slowly calmed down with the reminder of host Zhou Tao.\

"Okay, Lu Wei, please continue the fourth session of the competition. There are nine questions on the big screen now. You can choose any one, please choose." The host Zhou Tao came to Lu Wei and said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tao turned off the microphone and whispered: "It's good to play, answer it well, and strive to make it to the finals."

Lu Wei gave Zhou Tao a grateful smile, then turned his eyes to the big screen, thought for a while, and said, "I will choose Question No. 9."

"Okay, Lu Wei, you chose Question No. 9, let's take a look." With Zhou Tao's voice, the mark of Question No. 9 on the big screen disappeared, and then a question appeared on the screen.

"Okay, this is a linkage question. Please connect the relevant musical works, authors, and nationalities in the correct order." Zhou Tao said, making a "please" gesture to Lu Wei.

"French Suite", composer John Sebastian Bach, nationality: Germany;

"Chorus Symphony", composer Ludwig van Beethoven, nationality: Germany;

Piano suite "Four Seasons", composer Peter Ilych Tchaikovsky, nationality: Russia

Looking at the topics on the big screen, Lu Wei said in an orderly manner. For Lu Wei, who had put a lot of effort into the history of Western music, these questions were not difficult. In fact, every contestant who participated in the competition had a very small possibility of losing points in this link. After all, students from music schools in these majors or contestants who have become pianists had a very deep foundation in the history of music.

Sure enough, Lu Wei's answer was completely correct, which did not surprise the judges. In their opinion, these things should be a kind of common sense for those who are learning piano.

Amid the warm applause of the audience, Lu Wei walked off the stage with ease and continued to watch the game.

The one who came on stage later was a Japanese player named Shunichi Nakamura.

This is also the only Japanese player to enter the rematch. In this competition, Japan sent a total of four players to participate in the competition. However, three of them were eliminated in the preliminary round, leaving only Shunichi Nakamura from Tokyo.

Shunichi Nakamura is also a well-known young pianist in Japan. It is said that the music of Japanese composer Joe Hashi. He has many music fans in Japan, especially some diehard female fans. It is said that he admires him very much. This time, Shunichi Nakamura came to China to participate in the competition, and dozens of music fans came from Japan to cheer for him. However, the plaster flags waving on the hands of those female fans made many Chinese contestants feel uncomfortable.

Shunichi Nakamura's appearance naturally aroused crazy screams and applause from the Japanese music fans, but the Chinese audience responded plainly. Although out of politeness, many people still applauded, but it was sparse and not enthusiastic at all.

But I have to say that Shunichi Nakamura also has a few kung fu skills. A Moshkovsky etude was very skilled, which shows that it was not accidental that he entered the preliminaries.

When it comes to the prescribed self-selected track, Shunichi Nakamura chose the work of Japanese pianist Joe Hashi------"City of Sky"

This surprised many contestants including Lu Wei. Although the organizers did not stipulate that the selection of the songs must be classical in this piano competition, this has become a conventional practice among the contestants. And Shunichi Nakamura actually chose such a song between popular and orthodox, especially the work of a contemporary composer, which shows how much he likes Hiroshi.

The music has a strong Japanese cartoon style. Although it sounds very beautiful, it is obvious that playing such a song in this kind of piano competition seems a bit inappropriate.

Lu Wei looked at the judges and it was obvious that their faces were mostly inexplicable. Obviously, they didn't know much about such a song. In the improvisational creation process, Shunichi Nakamura played a piece of music with great Japanese local style.

This piece of music made many Chinese contestants frown, and they couldn't help but remember the music when the Japanese appeared in the anti-Japanese videos they watched when they were young.
