Lang Lang's appearance won a long applause from the audience.

On the international piano stage, Lang Lang is undoubtedly a very successful pianist. His image is young and energetic, and his performance is full of passion and drama. It has to be said that such a form of expression makes the piano performance itself more charming. This is also what distinguishes him from ordinary pianists.

When the eleven judges saw Lang Lang coming on stage, their eyes also showed expectations. This pianist who came out of the mysterious Eastern Kingdom has brought them surprises more than once. In today's competition, these people also looked forward to him having a better performance.

Grafman looked at his disciple and showed an unconcealed love in his eyes. Although he was a Chinese, this child's understanding and attainment of piano even surpassed many Westerners, especially his understanding of Western classic works, and often had amazing actions. Even now, even he sometimes could not keep up with Lang Lang's playing ideas. In today's competition, he was full of expectations for Lang Lang's performance.

He was not worried that Lang Lang would not be able to pass the game. Lang Lang was definitely a favorite to win the championship. If he performed normally, there would be no problem in the quarter-finals.

Under the stage, Luo Hongmei and her colleagues in the music channel reporting group led by her also looked expectant and excited. Lang Lang is the pride of Chinese people, and he made the whole world re-recognize the Chinese people's artistic achievements! In today's report, Lang Lang's competition is also a highlight.

Thousands of viewers watched the man sitting in front of the piano. Although he was now middle-aged and much more calm, his classic expression of self-confidence still did not change.

Lang Lang sat in front of the piano. His expression was plain and freehand. Facing the piano in front of him, it was like facing a fun big toy. This mentality was learned by him when he was at the Curtis Conservatory of Music. His teacher, the famous pianist educator, Mr. Grafman, told him: The most important difference between an excellent pianist and an ordinary pianist is not about his skills, nor about his fame, nor about the depth and breadth of the music he played, but about his ability to always maintain a love for music. This kind of love should be separated from external things such as fame, wealth, etc. The simplest love left is the kind of thing that you can't help but want to play when you sit in front of the piano!

This statement was something Lang Lang had never heard of when he was in China. From childhood to adulthood, all his piano teachers told him one thing: learning piano is a very hard and difficult thing. You need a lot of boring practice every day and constantly challenge yourself. Only those who persevere to the end are the winners!

This obviously competitive and utilitarian thinking is certainly related to the general environment of exam-oriented education in China, but it is also related to the habitual way of thinking that Chinese people are used to. In the impression of foreigners, Chinese people are known for their hard work, kindness, tenacity, etc., but Chinese people who pursue the doctrine of the mean lack a personality. They are introverted, implicit, and are not used to expressing their emotions. All these personalities may have their own success in dealing with people and things, but they may not be applicable in music, especially Western music. Products produced under a completely different cultural background. It is really difficult to understand.

Fortunately, Lang Lang successfully passed this process. He completed the original accumulation of skills in China. His father's forced him to practice hell for nearly ten hours a day. He gave him basic skills that many foreign pianists did not possess. After arriving at Curtis, he was lucky to meet Grafman, a wise master who gently broke the shackles in his piano performance and let him soar to the sky from then on!

Langlang's hands gently pressed against the keys. They were clean and clever hands. The moment it played the first note, the hands seemed to come alive.

At the same time, Lang Lang seemed to have changed a different person. His upper body was straight, and his face was full of confidence and freedom. Exaggerated and dramatic expressions were his signature expression. At the same time, his hands were flying flexibly on the keys, but they were still a hint of gentlemanly calmness, and a hint of naughtiness and excitement. Yes, excitement, just the movement of fingers, can convey such emotions to people so clearly. This is Lang Lang, this is Lang Lang's music.

Liszt's "The Glorious Waltz". As one of the must-choose repertoire, this repertoire, which is well-known to pianists, is undoubtedly not suitable for selection according to the "remote principle", but Lang Lang undoubtedly chose it. Obviously, this is a manifestation of full confidence in his own strength.

The infectious bright tone, like a small sun, illuminated the entire concert hall and also shone into everyone's heart. The passionate performance and the same passionate music, Lang Lang successfully made everyone ignore his technical movements and began to pay attention to the music itself.

This is the difference between an excellent pianist and an ordinary pianist. The latter emphasizes "skills", while the former emphasizes "expression" and "understanding". If you don't cross this threshold, you will always circle around the level of "craftsman" and will never be able to rise to the level of "master".

Chu Yang listened quietly to Lang Lang's performance, and a hint of admiration was revealed in his eyes. Among the many contestants, Lang Lang is undoubtedly the best. His excellence is not because of his skill, but because of his unique understanding and performance of music. In the eyes of others, this exaggerated performance may be a sensationalist, but in Chu Yang's view, Lang Lang can be revealed at his fingertips entirely because of such music in his heart. As a musician, no matter what major he studied, he can only reach this step in the end: expressing his soul with music can be considered as touching the threshold of joy.

People like this are undoubtedly the talents that Leshen Sect needs the most. However, when thinking about Chen Hao's incident, Chu Yang was a little worried about whether the next recruitment would be successful.

Every musician is proud and has a full personality. The more successful he is, the more he is. Chen Hao is a vivid example. He has lost the game and even sacrificed his reputation and is not willing to surrender. Chu Yang believes that such people are everywhere in the music industry. People like Lang Lang are undoubtedly such people.

Can he join?

Chu Yang asked himself silently in his heart. At this moment, he had a trace of doubt about his goal for the first time.

I want to catch all the best musicians in the world in one place and come to the "Leshen Gate". But will the bird locked in a cage still have a heart that longs for the blue sky? Chu Yang asked himself gently.

"No matter what, let's do things first. If you are a person who really pursues a higher level of music, you will take the initiative to ask for joining without saying it yourself." Chu Yang thought.

The charm of the Leshen Gate is that it can make ordinary music magic. Music, which has been used on earth from the first day it was created by humans, has only been used to express emotions. The product of spiritual enjoyment will become a more powerful weapon!

Chu Yang believes that as long as he is a real musician, he cannot refuse such temptation! Even Chen Hao, Chu Yang believes that as long as he has seen the true power of music, he will regret the choice he made today!

However, what Chu Yang didn't know was that the reason why Chen Hao chose to betray his oath was because he saw another power of music - an extreme power!

At this moment, Chen Hao was watching Lang Lang's performance coldly on the stage. If it were a normal pianist like Lang Lang, he could only look up to him. But now, he was watching Lang Lang's performance with a completely condescending look.

No matter how well you play, you are just an ordinary pianist. And you are the ones who have mastered the ultimate power of music. When they see the power of gods, they believe that the expression on their faces must be very wonderful!

When Chen Hao thought of this, a chuckling couldn't help but a chuckling appeared on the corner of his mouth. He glanced at Chu Yang's location, and the chuck turned into gloomy again. An unconcealed hatred came out of his eyes.

This guy who came out of nowhere snatched away all his pride and glory in the alto and even snatched away his most beloved woman! Chen Hao's hatred for him can be said to be extremely deep!

"Chu Yang. I will let you appreciate my performance later." Chen Hao said in his heart, and a sneer appeared on his lips!

He would like to thank Liszt, a great pianist known as the "King of Piano". Many of his works are full of explosive emotions, which are very suitable for the display of "the sound of killing". He is now looking forward to the scene after Chu Yang can't control his mental disorder after hearing the sound of his piano. That must be very interesting!

That's right, Chen Hao has now initially mastered the sound of killing. Although it is still very shallow, and although his cultivation has only reached the initial level of Qi refining, this is enough that his performance can be separated from the level of ordinary music and rise to the level of sound attack!

When Chen Hao was practicing piano in Luo Qianqian's villa, he used a song adapted into a piano version of "Ten Ambush", which shook the birds on the trees more than ten meters away! Even the cold woman praised Chen Hao's high qualifications, which made him feel more confident in this trip!

In Chen Hao's eyes at this moment, this Langlang no longer has the "halo" of the world's top pianist, and at best he is one of the better ones among ordinary people.

And man has no way to compare with "God".

Lang Lang's performance continued, and a song "The Great Waltz of Glory" revealed his exaggerated and passionate playing style. When his hands rebounded strongly from the keys, bringing out the last brilliant and bright ending chord, a burst of warm and lasting applause rang out.

The applause did not last long because Lang Lang's competition had to continue. The audience sitting in the audience was also very qualitative, knowing every link and every requirement of the piano competition. The applause just now was entirely because they could not control their emotions and acted subconsciously because they heard the wonderful performance. This situation was obviously not the first time that it happened in such a competition. Even the judges didn't say much and acquiesced to such behavior.

Grafman looked at his proud disciple with satisfaction. His condition was obviously very good today, without any tension, just like he was holding a personal concert. Lang Lang was the strongest in this state. Although it was a pity that this was only the quarter-finals. If he could still maintain such a state in the finals, it would be better.

Dutch judge Wikin, who was sitting next to him, whispered to him a few times.

"Gruffman, your student is in great shape today, and his playing is really creative." There was unabashed praise in Viking's voice.

"Thank you, he is a very hardworking young man. Of course he is still young and needs a lot of exercise." Grafman said modestly, but the smugness in his heart is beyond words.

As a pianist, what else is more worthy of pride than cultivating a world-class pianist?

Lang Lang's performance continued. For the next super training and fantasy, he did not continue to choose well-known famous songs, but like other contestants, he chose two relatively rare works. After all, even famous contestants like him dare not play too much in such competitions. Choosing well-known songs, the difficulty of playing will definitely be increased by more than one level! What's more, Lang Lang didn't think that he could win this championship in this Masters Cup. After all, the two American contestants are still very strong, no matter how hard they are.

It was Maxim or Jack Jones, both of them were very strong opponents. By the way, there was Chu Yang who bet with him. Although Lang Lang only saw him performing an ordinary adapted Chinese work on the Spring Festival Gala, it is not necessary to say much about the induction between experts. As long as the other party put his hand on the piano, he could feel it was almost the same. Chu Yang was definitely an outrageous guy. There was also Anton Sarnikov from Russia, the genius pianist who claimed to be the closest to Kissin. Lang Lang had seen his performance and was also a powerful opponent.

It is no exaggeration to say that this Masters Cup is full of masters, and the value of the value is definitely greater than that of the previous few competitions!

If you want to win the championship in this game, you have to show all your strength, and you will not be careless!

Lang Lang finished the remaining two songs seriously and focused, then stood up and bowed to thank him. On the surface, he was still full of energy and without any tension.

Lang Lang also got a very high score. The scores given by the eleven judges were between 97 and 98, and even had super high scores of 996! Such a result almost allowed him to enter the semi-finals steadily!

Lang Lang walked off the stage, and a young Chinese contestant passed by him. He nodded politely at the latter, who just glanced at him lightly, then turned around and walked towards the stage! (To be continued)
Chapter completed!
